The Kola Superdeep Borehole is the deepest artificial point on our planet, deeper than even the marina trench. At 12,262 meters some even nickname it as the 'Door to Hell'. The mysteries that this dig unearthed were totally unexpected.
It has always been a topic of debate that we as a race know more about other galaxies and alien planets that we do about our own planet. It is an interesting coincidence that the Voyager 1 spacecraft took nearly 26 years to leave our solar system, which is also the amount of time it took us to penetrate 12 kilometers into the earth's surface.
It took around two decades for scientists to create the Kola Superdeep Borehole and drill to a depth of 12 kilometers. It was in 1989 that the drill reached 12,262 meters thus making it the deepest artificial point on the planet. For comparison sake, the deepest point in the ocean is 6.68 miles or 11 kilometers.
After drilling for almost a decade and a half, experts have found that there's a lot of water down there. And I do mean a LOT. Scientists discovered that there were mineralized water streams almost everywhere, all the way down the drill path. Apart from water, there are also a lot of gases like helium, hydrogen and even carbon dioxide from all along the borehole. However, experts were surprised when they discovered that at 9,000 meters the granite doesn't give way to basalt. This is stark opposition to popular beliefs.
There are also fossils in granite located at around 6,700 meters below the surface of the earth. Apart from this, scientists measured the temperature at the bottom of the hole to be around 180 degrees Celsius. Thus giving rise to the name 'Door to Hell'.
The most astounding fact, however, is that most scientists estimated the distance to the center of our planet at around 6,400 kilometers or 4,000 miles. As it turns out, 6,500 kilometers isn't even close to that mark and whatever scientists have managed to drill is barely the surface.


Christmas gift idea for you. Buy a gym membership for your favorite EPA worker.
Have a blessed and reflective Good Friday and Easter.
You also Guido. If it isn't raining, I'll be at the sunrise service at Guthrie Green.
Never been to that one. I go to Easter Vigil and then Sunday night. Also did Mass of the Lord's Supper Thursday and Stations today. Had kiddo duty for Good Friday Mass.
WASHINGTON — A high-ranking political appointee at the Environmental Protection Agency has been cited by federal regulators for unspecified violations while serving as the top executive at an Oklahoma bank.
Albert "Kell" Kelly was hired earlier this year as a senior adviser to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. Kelly was previously the chairman of SpiritBank, headquartered in Tulsa.
In other EPA news, Pruitt said recently that science shouldn't be thrown about to dictate policy in the United States, what we need is televised "debates" about settled science, then we can base policy off of that.... I guess? Just as long as it isn't science. From the head of the EPA. Which is supposed to base EVERY decision off of science.
Unless you don't like the best available scientific information? Bah, just change the policy statement.
You couldn't possibly be surprised by any of this... It's Trump World.
Just because you expect the crazy, doesn't change the fact that it IS crazy.
Absolutely!! It is beyond crazy...! The guy is well into dementia - could be Alzheimers. But given his history of like behaviour for so long a time, he may just be plain old paranoid schizophrenic. Hard to say without more info.
What is more concerning to me is the way to apparent willingness in complicity of the entire Republican party, with only a very few notable exceptions, to not only condone but, with inaction, actively endorse this completely immoral regime and President. It says so much about the true "good family values and Christian beliefs" of these people than any other commentary and action we have ever seen before.
So this rather helps prove my point that things like climate science can be influenced or filtered by political agendas, eh Cannon?
Nope. Rather than helping your point it deals a significant blow. I think you've been trying to say that there is a scientific debate going on with climate change, this reinforces the notion that it is merely political.
I mean, sure. Any subject can be influenced or filtered by political agendas. Trump could demand tomorrow that schools that receive Federal funds teach that babies come from storks. That doesn't change the science behind it that say otherwise. Scott Pruitt can say science doesn't matter, climate change is "unsettled", and that we must debate this on TV. That doesn't change the science one bit.
So I agree in so much as the denial of climate change is a political agenda item, not a scientific debate. Which explain why the head of the EPA feels the need to make such ridiculous statements.

Rule 43 Applications and Interim Maintenance
When a divorce is taking a long time to finalise or when one of the spouses is a homemaker with no income, the law provides a mechanism that can be used to assist spouses during a divorce to provide for the interim period until the divorce is finalised. Rule 43 of the High Court and rule 58 of the magistrate's court provide an interim measure to help an applicant quickly and with minimal legal costs. In the law, this is called interim relief. Rule 43/58 can be used for one or more of the following:
interim care or contact with the child;
maintenance for the wife and/or children;
enforcing certain payments, such as for the bond on the matrimonial home, vehicles, school fees, medical aid premiums and even deposits on new accommodation and relocation costs;
interim contribution towards the costs of the divorce and legal fees; and/or
an order for delivery of a car, furniture, etc.
Rule 43/58 deals with many of the issues that will ultimately be dealt with in the final divorce action, but is an interim solution. An extremely acrimonious divorce can take years to finalise and spouses need to be safeguarded during the divorce process.
In terms of the equality provisions in the Constitution, a divorcing wife who has no income is entitled to a contribution to her legal costs to ensure she has an equal opportunity to defend her case.
Depending on the circumstances, such an application can be brought:
before issue of the summons;
simultaneously with the issuing of the summons; or
after a notice of intention to defend is received.
An applicant is entitled to interim relief depending on the living standards of the parties. In applications of this nature, an applicant must show that he/she has insufficient means and that the respondent can afford to meet the amounts being sought.
Where an applicant claims a contribution towards his/her legal costs, the following principles will apply:
The test to be applied in considering the amount is that the applicant should be placed in a position to adequately present his/her case.
The fact that the respondent is wealthy does not entitle the applicant to unlimited spending, there being a difference between what he/she wants and what he/she needs.
What is 'adequate' depends on the nature of the litigation, the scale on which the respondent is litigating and the scale upon which he/she intends to litigate, with due regard being given to the respondent's financial position.
The applicant is not entitled to all his/her costs but merely a 'contribution towards' them. An applicant may lodge further applications later on in the process for his/her legal costs, including costs for each day of the trial.
The contribution is not limited to disbursements only and may include reasonable attorneys' reasonable.
Procedure to obtain interim relief
The spouse seeking an interim relief order (the applicant) will file a notice and affidavit (referred to as a founding affidavit) with the court setting out the facts relating to the divorce and why the spouse is of the opinion that he/she is entitled to relief from the spouse against whom relief is sought (the respondent).
The applicant will need certain prescribed documentation to lodge an application for interim relief, including:
a notice in terms of rule 43/58, requesting the respondent to file an opposing affidavit within 10 days;
an affidavit accompanying the rule 43/58 notice; and
annexures proving income, expenses, assets, etc.
The spirit of rule 43/58 demands that the applicant provide a very brief, succinct statement of the reasons why he/she is asking for the relief claimed and that the respondent supply an equally succinct reply. The court must then to do its best to arrive expeditiously at a decision. Because our courts see this rule as an expedient process, a party may object when the supporting documentation used in the application are too voluminous. At the hearing of the rule 43/58 application, no oral evidence is given and the application is argued based on the documentation before the court. The judge or magistrate will make an order as he/she deems appropriate under the circumstances.
It is up to the respondent to provide the court with evidence that disputes the applicant's claim, as the case may be. If the respondent does not do so, the court is entitled to infer from the evidence at hand that he/she can afford to pay the interim relief.
If the application is unopposed within the 10 days given to the respondent to reply, it may be placed on the court roll. An attorney may appear on behalf of the applicant to brief the court and argue the application. Once the court grants the order, it must be served on the respondent as soon as it is received from the court. If rule 43/58 is argued on an opposed basis, the respondent must file an opposing affidavit and may also bring a counter application, for example requesting an interim order for care of and contact with the children.

Q: Is this a secure way to structure a mysql_query in PHP I have tried and tried to achieve an SQL injection by making custom queries to the server outside of firefox.
Inside the php, all variables are passed into the query in a string like this.
Note, by this stage, $_POST has not been touched.
mysql_query('INSERT INTO users (password, username) VALUES(' . sha1($_POST['password']) . ',' . $_POST['username'] . '));

Is that a secure way to make a change?

A: You should definitely escape the username with mysql_real_escape_string.
Of course the best solution would be to use prepared statements. That way the separation of query syntax and data is made on the mysql API level.
And, as others pointed out, values should absolutely be surrounded with quotes. Especially the text ones.

A: what you are doing there is dangerous since someone can send a POST request with an evil user name.
you can either check every parameter and escape it,
additionally you could use mysqli (http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php),
and bind the parameters using prepare+bind.
the first step is good to avoid exploits on other users,
while the second is good for your server side safety.
also check out this question: How do you prevent SQL injection in LAMP applications?

A: Look at http://php.net/mysqli.real-escape-string, adding that to all incomming values should help making it safer.

A: On checking your code I'm surprised it works at all when you don't quote the literals you are inserting - you will be generating code like:
INSERT INTO user (password, username) VALUES (abc1234fg00000, admin);

So it will give an error every time. Assuming this is just a typo....
The mysql extension limits your ability to perform injection attacks by only allowing one query per call. Also, there is limited scope for an injection attack on a INSERT statement. Add to that the fact that you change the representation to a neutral format before splicing into the insert statement means that it is not a potential avenue for such an attack. However, your code should fall over if someone POSTs a username containing a single quote (if it doesn't then you've got magic_quotes enabled enabled which is deprecated).
OTOH if you apply the same method to validating the account then you are wide open to injection attacks - consider
"SELECT 1
FROM users
WHERE username='" . $_POST['username'] . "'
AND password='" . sha1($_POST['username'] . "';";

If $_POST['username'] contains "admin' OR 1 " then your system is compromised.
You should always use mysql_real_escape_string() unless you've made the data safe using a different function (e.g. sha1, bas64_encode....but NOT addslashes)
C.

A: this is insecure, unless magic_quotes_gpc configuration directive is turned on.
var_dump(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')); or phpinfo(); can show you the actual value
Note that this directive is dirty, deprecated and all-hated. And will make some passwords not work.

A: I wonder sometimes if they'll find me in the old folks home, screaming "BIND VARIABLES" at the nurses as they walk by.
It's 2010 people, not 1995.
BIND VARIABLES!
BIND VARIABLES!

The common name for several species of perennial pasture and lawn grasses in the genus Poa (also called meadow-grass) of the family Poaceae (Gramineae). Approximately 50 species of bluegrass are natural to the United States, and 4 are of economic importance: Kentucky bluegrass (P. pratensis), which is used in lawns and pasture; Canada bluegrass (P. compressa), which is used for erosion control; roughstalk bluegrass (P. trivialis), which is adapted for turf in cool, wet, shady environments; and annual bluegrass (P. annua), which is a weed of cool, moist sites. Kentucky bluegrass was introduced from Europe to Illinois by French missionaries in the early 1700s, and it spread rapidly throughout the Midwest, thriving where mean July temperatures are below 20°C (68°F).

You are welcome, Art. We've always been more interested in posting accurate info than posting just to say we were the first. I also don't like people who do the "I know something you don't know but I can't tell you" crap. Things have changed so much since this project started. No point in posting until we were sure of the final outcome. What was hard was not posting something after he played the album for us. I wanted to come here and go, "OMG YOU GUYS. WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS!!!" but I couldn't. Now that was hard.
Art Vandelay wrote: Did Steve happen to explain to you the meaning of the album title Traces? You don't have to give the explanation, I was just surprised that I haven't heard any of the interviewers ask that question. I haven't listened to all of the interviews just yet, so maybe it was asked. That would have been one of my first questions. Was just wondering if it had meaning that Steve would share if asked, or if it is something that he would prefer to keep to himself.
He hasn't really said much about that, so I'm not sure. You are right - some interviewer should ask that question. I haven't listened to the latest round of interviews yet, so maybe someone did/will.
Thanks for clarification on 'traces', Lora. It make total sense and was what I had thought.

Today on The Danny Bonaduce and Sarah Morning Show... Danny and Sarah interview 'The Voice' the legendary Steve Perry about his new album Traces coming out October 5th, his thoughts on Journey and much more.
- Danny was wanting to adopt Arnel, by the end of the interview, based on the great comments Steve had about AP.

Friday morning (8/17) from 6a-10a on WCBS-FM 101.1!
The Shannon in the Morning show number 1,000 celebration has come and gone -- with special guest Steve Perry joining the Big Show and a massive group of lucky listeners who got a chance to see the show LIVE from our Radio.com Theatre in NYC.
Featuring some of the magic moments from the past 4 and a half years, including call-ins from Beth and Howard Stern, Elvis Duran, Debbie Gibson and more celebrities and longtime listeners who helped make the show special over the years.
Thank you to everyone who came out for this special event -- if you missed it, watch the replay below!

Dang, was looking forward to hearing this one.
I wonder if he'll be on any TV shows promoting his album? Maybe Ellen? Late night?
Thanks for posting the interviews..really enjoy hearing the joy & light and honesty in Steve's words. It's been several years since I've even listened to his & Journey music...or much of any music. But, looking forward to SP's stories in song.
Wonder if you could send me a copy too?
check your pm in a few.
the death a true love and regaining his his passion for music.
I agree! Heather was the best interview so far!
Laura, Do you know if he explains the cover in the liner notes? I can not wait to get my LP! That cover is amazing!
Steve does say some of the art is explained on the web site, but I can't find anything.
Maybe I have missed it, but it seems interesting that the TBF era seems to be glossed over in the interviews. The story seems to be that he left the band in 87 and nothing else ever happened after that.
Steve Perry chatted with KOZZ, we talked about the new album, the new single and will Journey ever do a reunion tour?

It wasnt really an era. However you do have a point the highest charting and only number 1 song is from that album.
I think because there was no tour is the reason it gets glossed over.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer-songwriter, Steve Perry, formerly of Journey, joined Jim and Shelli live in the studio to talk about his first new music in almost 25 years! Perry reveals why he stepped away while at the height of his fame and opens up about the very personal reason he's ended that long silence.
Perry also talks about The Sopranos, Journey's Rock Hall induction, covering George Harrison and the music that captured him as a child.
- SP talks on Geo Harrison's song and meeting with his wife about the song.
Lil more info on the album cover.
This was a great listen. Looking forward to I need You and Sun Shines Gray (Which he says is a Rock track). Had a "Whoa" moment at 20:50 where i have no doubt he can still reach the highs if he really wanted to go there. The best is yet to come from this release.
The Jim and shelli interview was wonderful..they all are, but this one Steve is on camera up close & looks amazing! I also see a deep change in him..I'm so happy he has found strength & a peace about life, the human experience.

Q: Euler Number/Polynomial Identity If Euler numbers are defined as
$$\frac{1}{\cosh{x}}=\frac{2}{e^x+e^{-x}}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty{E_n\frac{x^n}{n!}}$$
and Euler polynomials are defined as
$$\frac{2e^{xz}}{e^{x}+1}=\frac{2e^{xz}e^{\frac{-x}{2}}}{e^\frac{x}{2}+e^{\frac{-x}{2}}}=\frac{2e^{\left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right)x}}{e^\frac{x}{2}+e^{\frac{-x}{2}}}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty{E_n(z)\frac{x^n}{n!}}$$
How is it that we get
$$E_n\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=2^{-n}E_n$$
I feel like the issue comes from the fact that
$$\frac{2e^{\left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right)x}}{e^\frac{x}{2}+e^{\frac{-x}{2}}}=\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty{\frac{E_nx^n}{2^nn!}}\right)\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty{\left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right)^n}\frac{x^n}{n!}\right)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\sum_{k=0}^n{\frac{E_k}{2^k}\left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-k}\frac{x^n}{n!}}$$
Setting the summations equal produces
$$E_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n{\frac{E_k}{2^k}\left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-k}}$$
Straight forward, i know that plugging in $z=1/2$ will give
$$E_n\left(\frac1{2}\right)=\sum_{k=0}^n{\frac{E_k}{2^k}0^{n-k}}$$
So why do we get this?  This implies that $0^0=1$. Is that just a definition or is there something else at work?

A: $0^0 = 1$ is a convention, widely adopted with power series and such (particularly with generating functions in conmbinatorics), mostly to be able to write:
$$a_0 + a_1 z + \dotsb = \sum_{n \ge 0} a_n z^n$$
and have this work even when $z = 0$. It does make sense in this particular use, as $\lim_{z \to 0} z^0 = 1$.

Brazil V. Venezuela: The Inevitability of Latin American Polarization
by Augustus Severus August 24, 2009
For any political scientist, economist and historian who may not be entirely familiarized with the dynamics of Latin America's historical legacy and some of the recent issues staining the rosy pictures of cooperation, friendship, and consensus often publicized in the area's main capitals, it would have appeared that the region could be on the brink of reaching a respectful level of maturity and might even have resolved some serious issues, challenges and conflicts which have plagued many of its countries for nearly two centuries of self-determination.
Yet, I fear that any intellectual "neuter observer" would be rather disappointed with the performance of the majority of Latin administrations upon closer examination. Even taking into account the latest global economic crisis and despite the continued economic development undergone in some nations (most notably Chile, Brazil and Mexico), it is clear that, the traditional ghosts of income disparity, regional rivalry, corrupted politicians, authoritarian "rulers", along with the persistent threat posed by drug lords and terrorist organizations remain looming over Latin America's horizons.
One would also have thought that the establishment of Unasur and the increased number of smaller regional blocs, such as Mercosur, might seriously represent mature regional endeavors to shed differences aside in order to address some of the most important issues (ranging from trade, energy, fresh water and poverty to mutual defense, regional currency and improved infra-structure).
Yet, the more one examines some of the current "noble objectives" in closer scrutiny, the more it becomes evident that Brazil and Venezuela will be found running (or attempting to run) the show; each with a completely distinct political agenda, bound to be deemed irreconcilable in the long run.
In addition, since the main economic and political/military organizations established in the region appear to be rather questionable in light of the fashion whereby Caracas and Brasilia appear to view their intended purposes, the embryo of uncertainty has already emerged.
Because, Mercosur – formed about 25 years ago – included only four members: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, while excluding Venezuela, Colombia and Chile, it could scarcely be considered a fully regional pact.
Although Venezuela has subsequently applied to join this primarily Southern Cone group, its dubious political intentions vis-à-vis attaining full membership has understandably been prevented by the Legislatures of both Brazil – and until recently also Paraguay.
The Chilean exclusion, clearly an error in light of the health and importance of its economy, was possibly deliberate in light of its long standing disputes with neighboring Argentina and its declared intent to join NAFTA; Colombia's omission, however, is evident, in view of its close alliance with the United States and insurmountable fiendish stance against Venezuela.
As such, because Mercosur neither includes nor impacts most of the region's main economies and because Venezuela is likely to treat Mercosur and Unasur as nearly interchangeable political structures, thereby possibly undermining both organizations, it seems like additional seeds of discord between Caracas and Brasília have already been planted.
Yet, there are many other specific factors which appear to highlight the contrasting stance of the two leading Latin American regional powers…
Venezuela has recently established a mini-alliance composed of a growing list of smaller, faithful, and poorer client states (Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and possibly Honduras in the near future) and undoubtedly intends to assume the role of regional leading power.
Unlike Cuba during the 20th Century, Venezuela has embraced a relatively more discrete version of Fidel Castro's revolutionary ideals, currently labeled as "Bolivarian", but whose ultimate goal is also to spread its radical political-economical ideals throughout the region, thereby transforming Caracas into a 21st Century version of a "Latin Moscow" or "New Havana" of the modern Western Hemisphere.
Brazil, on the other hand, attempting to maintain the self-delusional role of a "Well-Behaved Neighbor" and "Moderate (New) Socialist", appears to be relatively more discrete in its quest for the role of Latin American leader. While the "Sleeping Giant" is likely to have a sincere disposition to assist others, its current administration ultimately intends to secure African support and to be perceived by the developed world and the United Nations, as a robust adolescent who has recently reached maturity and is therefore ready to join the Main Group of nations either at the "bottom of a possible G-9" or at least to obtain a permanent seat in the Security Council.
Clearly, due to its growing pride and self-delusion, the current administration in Brasília seems to be determined neither to remain passively watching major global decisions from afar – at a remote UN seat – nor to continue being invited to G-8 meetings merely for having "dessert" (using the Brazilian's president words).
While Breton Woods established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states in July 1944 thereby establishing the foundations of a healthy western economy for the second half of the 20th Century, the Venezuelan elected dictator appears adamant to reach an equivalent agreement for Latin America today with his plans to establish the Bank of the South (designed to be based in Caracas) in order to allegedly unite the "financial needs" of a socialist Latin brotherhood for the current millennium.
Yet it does not appear to have been substantiated by concrete plans or viable financing for such an elusive institution; most importantly, I could hardly anticipate any forthcoming believable mechanism to emerge in order to prevent the inevitable series of fraud and misuse of precious resources, which would inevitably surface in the region.
Almost certainly, an endless stream of funds and other assets is bound to flow into secrete private accounts of Venezuelan agents entrusted to "finance" electoral campaigns of left-wing candidates across Latin America with the support of La Paz, Quito, Havana and Managua.
Meanwhile the Brazilian president seems to be forging ahead with plans to formalize or at least increase the use of local currencies in regional trade thereby removing the US dollar as the common monetary unit, utilizing the excuse that the central banks seek to strengthen their cross-border operations without any consideration for their wild fluctuations in the currency markets.
Interestingly Brazilian exporters have been using the system more than their counterparts in Argentina, which, one might argue, merely reflects Brazilian preference for dealing in their own currency, whereas Argentine businessmen may be more comfortable with dollars than with pesos.
However, because Brazil is Argentina's main trading partner, and because Argentina has repeatedly postponed the full implementation of "local currencies swap" to promote bilateral trade, Brasília is now threatening Buenos Aires to take action with the WTO for imposing non tariff barriers to trade thereby demonstrating the actual intentions of the Brazilian government which appears to flex muscles utilizing economic tools.
In this connection, one should recall that the last Doha round of talks failed when it was very close to a successful conclusion in light of the last minute switch of the Brazilian position on "protectionism" thereby upsetting not only Argentina but also India, which represents Brasília's closest ally in Asia as well as one of the largest importers of Brazilian ethanol.
As such, either spreading neo-Marxist ideals within a region scarcely prepared to embrace its inevitable totalitarian populist values or promoting questionable ideals of "economic integration" whereas fomenting discord in international forums, Venezuela AND Brazil proceed with alleged "common plans" without any actual regional consensus, each pursuing completely disparate and unrealistic goals in order to be poised, in the long run, to achieve their hidden agendas; thereby rendering most "agreements" between these nations as inevitable sources of significant conflict.

Danish Vietnamese artist Danh Vo is quickly turning into a coveted item this summer. An article in Frieze about his research in Vietman and his participation in Manifesta 7 have no doubt turned heads in his direction. The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is now showing Vo's Package Tour as part of Docking Station, a series of small presentations of young and upcoming international artists. Metropolis M spoke with Vo in Amsterdam about the influence of Western imperialism on his family's life, and how he traces their complex personal histories through his work.
—Erik van TuijnEven your name is part of an art project I believe? You married and divorced two people in order to add their family name to yours?
—Danh VoYeah. The beginning of the Name Project actually came from a mix up with my own name. In many Asian countries the family name precedes your 'first' name. When I came to Denmark, the bureaucracy couldn't handle this, so what happened was that my family name became my first name and my first name my family name. My middle name ended up as my very first name on the official documents, which is rather funny, because my middle name actually means just that: 'middle'.
—Erik van TuijnDoes the project tie in with your migration background, the fact that you yourself have taken on a coincidental identity? You came to Denmark by chance after all [Vo and his family were picked up by a Danish cargo ship while fleeing Vietnam on a self-made boat].
—Danh VoThe names are memories. The project was a reaction to the fact that Denmark was the first country to legalize gay marriage. In my point of view this defines gays as second hand citizens, because you get a 'privilege', but since you are not allowed to adopt children for instance, you don't get all the benefits.
—Erik van TuijnThey're buying you off in a way.
—Danh VoExactly. It's a way of exerting control. I thought people were crazy doing this. But what interested me was that it created the possibility to use the marriage system in another way, using the bureaucracy for personal reasons. In my case: to project personal memories in my name.
—Erik van TuijnYou married those people because they meant something personal to you and you wanted to make that visible.
—Danh Vo Yes, and this was made possible by the government that had already excluded me. The work is about traditions that are leftovers from a system that doesn't make sense anymore. As everybody else, I just try to make it meaningful for myself.
—Erik van TuijnLet's talk about your exhibition at the Stedelijk. Why 'Package Tour'?
—Danh VoI called the exhibit Package Tour, which is a budget holiday, so there was no reason to 'conquer' the space, using all of it. I just put everything I had with me in it. The 'gate' at the entrance is a leftover from Marc Boulos' All That Is Solid Melts Into Air show, which was here before mine. I decided to have the crates of the objects on display installed here as well, because a package tour is about moving things from one place to another.
The casing at the entrance displays objects from my father, a Rolex watch, a Dupont lighter and an American military class ring. He acquired all these objects after he came to the West. They are the manifestations of desires from the time he was still in Vietnam. The most radical one is the military ring, because in Vietnam this means you either came from a very rich family or you got it because you were very intelligent and were sent to the US to study at the military academy. For the pro-American South Vietnamese it was very prestigious. All the objects are in fact parts of US, French and capitalistic propaganda. It's one of my favorite pieces, because it's not only about my father's memories but it's also the idea of masculinity and power: time, fire, war, that's attached to them.
—Erik van TuijnSo they're also a form of memory: Status objects your father wanted to have when he was in Vietnam, but couldn't afford. Where does the white cross fit in?
—Danh VoThe cross is the temporary grave marker that my father made for my grandmothers grave when she died two years ago. When a grave is fresh, the sand still has to settle before you can put the tombstone on, so the grave essentially stays unmarked. My father, a devoted catholic, could not stand this idea, so he made one. What struck me is that it is a typical grave mark from the war. The cemetery had never experienced such a thing and threw the cross away when the tombstone came, where my sister rescued it. But because my family is very middle class, they of course didn't want it standing in their own gardens.
—Erik van TuijnYou appropriated it?
The meaning of the objects I use only exists because they have taken a detour from the usual route they travel. Take the calendar made by my sister after she went on a budget trip, a package tour, to Gambia. It shows a holiday picture of my little niece playing with the local children. My sisters and brothers are very integrated into the Danish system, they have virtually no interest in their past. I have always thought this weird: you come from a country that has been totally fucked up by Western interest, but you have become an unquestioning part of it, even going on budget tours to Gambia. I always thought this madness.
—Erik van Tuijn You regularly incorporate objects by others into your presentations.
—Danh VoI just started to do things but my work was quickly categorized as 'working with identities'. But I thought: if I am working with identity, then it should be a bit more fucked up, because identities aren't stable nowadays, they are complex and schizophrenic. So that's when I started my current direction.
—Erik van TuijnIn that case, do you see the article about you by Dominic Eichler in Frieze also as part of your work strategy?
—Danh Vo I generally don't like the idea of texts being written about my work. There is something weird about it. So what we did is that Dominic travelled with me to see the research I was doing. It didn't actually think Frieze would go along with my idea, because they are usually very strict but they gave me a free hand. I think an artist has all this material, research and then has to transform it into some kind of display. In this way the article is a way of distributing my work. I thought it was interesting to see how a critic would see my research. Dominic was actually more a mediator in this case. With the photos by Pratchaya Phinthong there was also a practical side: I shouldn't take photos, I am really bad at it!

2014 dove, teal seasons set
dove_hunt_8-20-13.jpg
Jim Low
JEFFERSON CITY–Hunters of early-migrating gamebirds can mark their calendars now. The Missouri Conservation Commission has approved the following early migratory bird hunting seasons and limits:
Mourning doves, Eurasian collared doves, and white-winged doves: Sept. 1 through Nov. 9 (70 days), with limits of 15 daily and 45 in possession (combined total for all three species).Blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, and cinnamon teal: The blue-winged teal (BWT) is the primary species harvested during this early hunting season. For this reason, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bases teal hunting regulations on an annual survey of BWT numbers on the birds' nesting grounds. Survey data are not available until mid-summer, so each year the Conservation Commission approves season dates contingent on survey results. If the BWT breeding population index is below 3.3 million, the season is closed. If the BWT breeding population index is at least 3.3 million but fewer than 4.7 million, this year's season will be Sept. 6 through 14 (nine days). If the BWT breeding population index is 4.7 million or greater, the season will be Sept. 6 through 21 (16 days). If there is an early teal season, the limits will be six daily and 18 in possession.Sora and Virginia rails: Sept. 1 through Nov. 9 (70 days), with a daily limit of 25 and a possession limit of 75 (combined total for both species).Wilson's (common) snipe: Sept. 1 through Dec. 16 (107 days), with a daily limit of eight and a possession limit of 24.American woodcock: Oct. 15 through Nov. 28 (45 days), with a daily limit of three and a possession limit of nine.
Additional details about early migratory bird hunting regulations will be published in the 2014 Migratory Bird Hunting Digest. The publication will be available from hunting permit vendors later this summer and online at www.mdc.mo.gov.


Fox News host Pete Hegseth explained on Sunday that he doesn't wash his hands because "germs are not a real thing."
"Pizza Hut lasts for a long time," Hegseth said, defending himself. "My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don't really wash my hands ever."
"I inoculate myself," he continued. "Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them. Therefore, they're not real."
"These hands look pretty clean to me," he remarked.

Q: Apache ServiceMix 7, ScalaDSL, No component found with scheme: jetty I've created a very basic bundle using Scala for use in Camel and Karaf.  When I install my bundle in Apache ServiceMix 7.0.0 / Karaf, the bundle will resolve but not start. When I check the logs I get the message:  No component found with scheme: jetty
A thorough search for this problems only yields answers referring to making sure camel-jetty is included in the pom.xml.
I have done this, but unfortunately it still isn't working..
My Pom dependencies are (among others):
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
      <artifactId>camel-jetty-common</artifactId>
      <version>2.16.3</version>

      <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
      <artifactId>camel-jetty</artifactId>
      <version>2.16.3</version>
    </dependency>

The code in Scala is very basic:
   val netStart = "jetty:http://localhost:8882/userdata"
   val netEnd = "file:scala/netoutput"

   netStart ==> {
    as (classOf[Person])
    to (netEnd)
   }

I have installed the camel-jetty9 feature and as a test I've created a blueprint route in xml that also uses a jetty route and that works fine.
Any help as to why ServiceMix / Karaf / Camel keeps insisting it cannot find jetty:html:?
Much thanks!

A: We had an issue similar to this and it was caused by an issue with the Camel version and the Jetty version not working together. Camel has not yet been updated to work with Jetty 9 and only works with Jetty 8.
If you roll back to Service Mix 6.1.x then you may find the issue resolves itself as it did in our case.
For more information on the versioning see http://servicemix.apache.org/community/releases-schedule.html
EDIT: Camel 2.18 will be fixing these issues but Service Mix 7 only uses 2.16

When xUnit.net v2 shipped with parallelization turned on by default, this output capture mechanism was no longer appropriate; it is impossible to know which of the many tests that could be running in parallel were responsible for writing to those shared resources.
The recommend approach is now to take a dependency on ITestOutputHelper on your test class.
But what if you are using a library with logging support, perhaps a 3rd party one, and you want to capture it's log output that is related to your test?
The issue here is that if this class is used in a concurrent way, it's log output will be interleaved, just in the same way as using console in tests.
Well you could create your own environment dictionary, invoke appFunc directly and the assert the dictionary.
While this would work it, it's not particularly pretty and it'll get messy fairly quickly as you may need to assert cookies, dealing with chunked responses, doing multiple requests (e.g. a login post-redirect-get), etc.


Winner of one of his seven starts to date, that sole success coming in a novice race at Chester in September. Last seen finishing second on his handicap debut here later that month. Up three pounds for that effort on his reappearance today.
A progressive sort who has won his last two starts. Gelded since scoring in a novice race at Wolverhampton in February. That form has worked out well since, with the second winning his next two starts. Yard won this with a similar type last year.
Latest AW win represents good form and he could improve again for being gelded.
Has recorded gradually progressive RPR's in his four starts to date; winning races over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton the last twice. Up four pounds for his latest success, but he could have more to offer now tackling turf.
On a hat-trick and handicap debut win at Wolverhampton makes for encouraging reading.
Broke his maiden tag at the third attempt when scoring in a novice race at Newcastle last time out. Steps up markedly in trip on his handicap debut this afternoon, which his pedigree suggests will suit. This opening mark can only be described as fair though.
Good winner of a 7f novice on the AW and he's bred for middle distances.
Winner of his last two starts; building on a win at Thirsk in August when scoring at Pontefract in September. Gelded prior to making his handicap debut this afternoon, but others are preferred for win purposes.
Late developer who did well to win two of his three starts as a 2yo; returns gelded.
Now gelded despite his Wolverhampton win working out well, MARHABAN can strike for last year's winning stable.

The Named Angels (2012)
Commissioned by ROKI for The Borromeo String Quartet
I. Mikhail's Thunder
II. Azrael, Malak al-Maut
III. Jibreel at Hira
IV. Israfel's Spell
Since I was a little boy, I've been fascinated with the mythology of angels in Middle Eastern folklore. They embody justice, power, kindness, healing, death, and other universals that have made them pervasive in many of the world's cultures. It is natural to express these attributes musically, since music is present in all human communities — it transcends the present and expresses the eternal, never-changing truths of the human condition.
The Named Angels refers to those angels that are named and recognized in the Islamic, Christian and Jewish traditions: Michael, Israfel, Gabriel and Azrael. Each of the four movements represents a character portrait of a specific Angel. The piece begins with a quick and vigorous movement titled Mikhael's Thunder. Mikhael (Arabic for Michael, an archangel in Jewish, Christian and Islamic teachings) is an angel attributed with great visceral strength. He brings thunder to Earth but is also identified in the Quran as an angel of mercy, and in Book of Revelation he leads God's armies against Satan's forces. The movement captures that dichotomy as it vacillates between thunderous gestures and what I've marked as a "Hymn of Mercy" in the score.
Following Michael's explosive portrait is a slow movement called Azrael, Malak Al Maut (Arabic for Azrael, Angel of Death). Azrael is the name used commonly used to refer to the Angel of death in the three Middle Eastern Monotheistic faiths. This narrative movement is framed by two chorales: an opening funeral chorale and a closing transformative chorale. It captures the attitude of the naturalness (even innocence) of death described in the Quran. This movement is more programmatic in structure than the others. It begins with a depiction of the exhalation of a last breath and proceeds to depict Azrael carrying the spirit beyond life and the metamorphosis of the human spirit in the apotheosis that ends the movement.
The next movement, Jibreel at Hira, begins without a pause. Jibreel (Gabriel) is the chief angel in Islam. He is the main messenger to the Prophets, delivering important words from God to Moses, Abraham, Jesus and others according to the Quran. In the Quran as well as the New Testament, Gabriel foretells the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary while in the Old Testament he appears on several occasions as a messenger to the prophets. Gabriel delivers his final message to Mohammed at a cave called Hira. On a night that Muslims celebrate yearly as the Night of Power, Gabriel appears to Mohammed as he is meditating and commands him to read. The illiterate Mohammed begins to miraculously read in what becomes the first revelation of the Quran. The first part of the movement captures Jibreel's tender and simple voice as he speaks to Mohammed and the movement builds in intensity capturing the transfixed ecstasy of the Prophet repeating the Angel's revelation.
The final movement Israfel's Spell, begins with an invocation of Israfel's trumpet sounding the Day of Judgment. This heralding theme interweaves with hints of a quick dance. In the Quran, the shaking of the Earth is described as the Earth dancing a dabkeh (a vigorous and ancient Arabian dance form). This develops into a fullyfledged apocalyptic dance. Edgar Allen Poe's rendition of Israfel was the point of departure for this musical movement. At the opening of the poem Israfel, Poe quotes a particularly musical passage of the Quran: "And the angel Israfel, whose heartstrings are a lute, and who has the sweetest voice of all God's creatures." This informs the first lines of the poem that, in turn, gave me the title for this movement:
In Heaven a spirit doth dwell
"Whose heartstrings are a lute"
None sing so wildly well
As the angel Israfel,
And the giddy stars (so legends tell),
Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell
Of his voice, all mute.
– Mohammed Fairouz (2012)

Leprechaun Laughs # 415 For Wednesday Oct 11th 2017
Posted on October 11, 2017 by lethalleprechaun
Let's just roll that beautiful blog footage shall we?
The teacher asked the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate, ' not 'fascinating.'"
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate'."
Little Johnny raised his hand, but the teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate," so she called on him.
Johnny said, "My aunt Carolyn has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight!"
The teacher sat down and cried.
One day Paddy goes into a pharmacy, reaches into his pocket and takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon.
He pours some liquid onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist, and says "Could you taste this for me, please?"
The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid around and swallows it.
"Does that taste sweet to you?" says Paddy.
"No, not at all," says the chemist.
"Oh that's a relief," says Paddy. "The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar."
* I was devastated to find out my wife was having an affair but, by turning to religion, I was soon able to come to terms with the whole thing. I converted to Islam, and we're stoning her in the morning.
* The wife suggested I get myself one of those penis enlargers, so I did. She's 21, and her name's Kathy.
* Went to the pub with my girlfriend last night. Locals were shouting "pedophile!" and other names at me, just because my girlfriend is 24 and I'm 50. It completely spoiled our 10th anniversary.
* My son was thrown out of school today for letting a girl in his class give him a hand-job. I said "Son, that's 3 schools this year! You'd better stop before you're banned from teaching altogether."
* The cost of living has now gotten so bad that my wife is having sex with me because she can't afford batteries.
* A man calls 911 and says "I think my wife is dead". The operator says, "How do you know?" The man says "The sex is about the same, but the ironing is piling up!"
* I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said, "You obviously haven't been listening."
* My wife has been missing a week now. The police said to prepare for the worst. So, I had to go down to Goodwill to get all of her clothes back.
Lethal went into the confessional and said to his priest, 'I almost had an affair with another woman.'
The priest said, 'What do you mean, almost?'
Lethal said, 'Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.
The priest said, 'Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box.'
Lethal left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box.
He paused for a moment and then started to leave.
The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, 'I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!'
Lethal replied, 'Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!'
After their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed.
So the husband went to his veterinarian and told him that he and his cousin didn't want to have any more kids.
The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive.
'A less costly alternative, ' said the doctor, 'is to go home, get a cherry bomb, (fireworks are legal in Alabama) light it, put it in a beer can (COORS), then hold the can up to your ear and count to 10.
'The Alabamian said to the doctor, 'I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to ear is going to help me.
"Trust me, ' said the doctor.
So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count!
(you'll love this.)
At which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and continued counting on his other hand.
This procedure also works in Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Parts of Georgia, Missouri, West Virginia, Western Maryland and All of Washington DC…

A father asked his 10 year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.
"I don't want to know" the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me."
Confused, the father asked what was wrong.
The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech.
At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech.
When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa Claus' speech.
If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

1 Response to Leprechaun Laughs # 415 For Wednesday Oct 11th 2017
Ginny. says:
Great job in the joke department….so old…some new. Thanks for the laughs.


Welcome. It's been a busy start to the year here at the CCG. We kicked off with an engagement event on 17 January in Middleton, at which we updated the public and stakeholders on key aspects of local healthcare transformation. It was great to see local residents and partners from health service providers, as well as many elected councillors come together to talk about the work underway in the Rochdale borough to help more people stay well and take better care of those who are ill.
Discussion at the event included the role that the new Community Connectors play in supporting people to navigate the health and social care system; how to remove barriers to accessing mental health services and how Focussed Care workers at GP surgeries are making a positive difference in this regard; and the work being done to offer a wider range of health and social care services in neighbourhoods so people don't need to go into hospital. It was a very interesting night and feedback will contribute to transformation plans. We'll be holding similar engagement sessions in the months to come and you can stay up to date with plans for local health care transformation on our website.
Also in January, Rochdale's Integrated Commissioning Board (ICB) agreed to reduce the number of fully funded IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) cycles from three to one, following a six week consultation period. The consultation ran 3rd December 2018 -16th January 2019 attracting some 369 responses via an online survey. The new policy came into effect at 9am on 30th January 2019. This change in policy will not affect any patients who have already been referred to an IVF service (including those who are waiting but have not yet been seen) and patients on any other part of the IVF pathway, including tests for subfertility. Understandably IVF services evoke emotional responses from people. As commissioners we are responsible for funding health and social care services and we have a duty to ensure it is used to best effect.
On to this month and we've launched a 30 day engagement phase to gain comments from local people on plans to implement NHS England (NHSE) guidance on prescribing of over-the-counter medicines for minor, short term health concerns.
NHSE's guidance encourages self-care i.e. treatment with items that can easily be purchased over the counter from a pharmacy, such as indigestion, mouth ulcers and warts and verrucas. It also stops prescribing of drugs of low clinical effectiveness and reduces the prescription of drugs available over the counter for the treatment of minor conditions which are self-limiting and do not need any medical advice or treatment as they will clear up on their own, such as sore throats, coughs and colds.
We are asking for your views on the guidance because if we can support people to self-manage common conditions such as coughs and colds this could help lower the 57 million GP consultations each year for minor ailments, which cost the NHS approximately £2 billion and takes up to an hour a day on average for every GP. Between April 2017 and March 2018, HMR CCG spent £1.85 million on medicines that are available to purchase over-the-counter (OTC). Much of these medicines are for long-term or complex conditions, but a considerable number of them are for conditions that may be considered suitable for self-care. Previous engagement on this subject has told us that the majority of local people believe that these measures are common sense and required in order to protect our local NHS resources into the future. You can read detailed information about the proposals on our website and share your views via the online survey. The engagement phase is open until 10 March so please do get involved.
Also this month, Steve Rumbelow, Chief Executive at Rochdale Borough Council and Accountable Chief Officer for our organisation, HMR CCG, dropped in to meet patients and staff at Rochdale Infirmary's Oasis dementia unit. The Oasis Unit is a 10 bed facility for patients from the Rochdale borough with dementia and confusion arriving with acute medical conditions, either through the Urgent Care Centre, the Clinical Assessment Unit (CAU) or referred directly by their GP. Mr Rumbelow's visit included talking with patients about their experience of the Unit and discussing with doctors, nurses and other staff on the Unit the different types of care provided for patients. You can read more about the visit and the Oasis Unit in this news story.
Our colleagues at Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board have launched a new programme called ICON aimed at helping local parents and carers with young babies to cope with infant crying.
C – Comfort methods can sometimes soothe the baby and the crying will stop. Is the baby hungry, tired or in need of a nappy change. ?
O – It is OK to walk away, if you have checked the baby is safe and the crying is getting you. After a few minutes when you are feeling calm, go back and check on the baby.
N – Never, ever shake or hurt a baby, it can cause lasting brain damage or death.
A baby's cry can be extremely upsetting for parents and carers and the important ICON message should be shared with everyone who looks after a child. For more, look out for messages on Twitter and Facebook and join in the conversation.
Looking ahead to March and our next Governing Body meeting is on Friday 15 March, 10.30am-12.30pm at Number One Riverside. Members of the public are invited to attend and public questions are welcome too. These can be submitted through the website on the Governing Body page here or asked during the open questions slot at beginning of each meeting.
