July 9: San Francisco Opera MADAME BUTTERFLY
A selfish American naval lieutenant who marries a Japanese child bride knowing he will never see her again once he leaves Japan. His credulous young wife is so blindingly smitten that she gives up her religious faith for him and is disowned by her family. Even after three-year of not hearing from Lieutenant Pinkerton, Cio-Cio-San deludes herself into believing he will return and rashly rebuffs a solid marriage proposal to cling to this fantasy.
"One beautiful day", they will see a puff of smoke on the far horizon.

Crypto Exchanges in Ethiopia Offered New Registration Program
Ethiopian authorities now require all crypto businesses to register with the Information Network Security Administration (INSA) in ten days.
The crypto registration scheme was made possible by the amendment of a law that gave the INSA power to supervise cryptographic products and transactions.
The initiative comes as Ethiopia looks for a legal framework to deal with the growing interest in cryptocurrency mining and investment, sectors once banned by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE).
The governor for the NBE told CGTN news in June 2022 that the central bank's rules and regulations only recognize paper money and that there would be legal consequences for people transacting in cryptocurrency. He added that the bank would conduct further studies.
Ethiopia wants to blaze a trail in the cybersecurity space
Companies operating without registering with the INSA will be prosecuted. The INSA claimed it had averted 97% of cyber-attacks leveled at the country since July 2021, saving Ethiopia roughly $26 million. Through its registration scheme, Ethiopia wants to be the first African country to offer investors protection from criminal crypto enterprises from a cybersecurity perspective.
Ethiopia lags Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria with 1.8 million crypto holders. High black market prices for the scarce U.S. dollar encouraged crypto adoption through nine local exchanges in Ethiopia.
Cryptocurrency exchanges can become the target of cybersecurity hacks as they process and hold large volumes of digital assets. The most notorious example is the multi-million dollar hack of a Japanese crypto exchange Mt. Gox in 2014. In Dec. 2021, hackers made off with $200 million from Bitmart, another trading platform.
A hacker could target a victim by offering to double their money after they make an initial investment. The hacker could then make off with their cryptocurrency, leaving the investor holding the bag.
Attackers could also use keyloggers or different malware programs to get people to reveal their personal information and then sell it on the dark web for small amounts of cryptocurrency.
Uganda clamps down, CAR headed for trouble
Between Oct. 2019 and Feb. 2020, five cryptocurrency companies in Uganda closed their doors, taking $26 million worth of customer funds. In Feb. 2021, the Ugandan parliament criminalized Ponzi schemes costing investors $2.7 million and penalized payment providers that made crypto transactions possible.
The Central African Republic's recent adoption of bitcoin as legal tender was slammed by experts who warn that the country could have opened itself up to financial crime. One expert believes that bitcoin makes illegal transactions possible for the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organization vying for the country's sovereignty.

Timothy Wakerell has held the post of Assistant Organist at New College, Oxford since September 2014 where he accompanies the renowned Chapel Choir in services, broadcasts, concerts and recordings. Recent highlights have included playing for Radio Three Choral Evensong and as well as the feast of St Peter and St Paul at St Peter's Basilica in Rome in the presence of His Holiness, Pope Francis. Prior to this he was Sub-Organist of St Paul's Cathedral between 2008 and 2014, and his duties included accompanying the world-famous choir and assisting with the training of choristers. In addition he also played for many important national services which were broadcast live on television such as the Funeral of Baroness Thatcher and the Diamond Jubilee Service. He was also frequently continuo player for Handel Messiah and J.S. Bach St John Passion. Timothy performed with the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral in a four-part documentary entitled David Starkey's Music & Monarchy which was broadcast on BBC Television. He also gave a performance of Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns as part of the Lord Mayor's Show day celebrations.
Timothy studied organ at the Royal College of Music, London with Margaret Phillips and David Graham, graduating with distinction in both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. He won all the major prizes for organ performance and also held scholarships supported by a Ruth Dyson and Edgar Cook award and a John Lewis partnership award. In 2011 Timothy won Second Prize at the Carl Nielsen International Organ Competition in Odense, Denmark. He has continued his studies with Dame Gillian Weir and Terence Charlston.
As a solo recitalist Timothy has performed throughout the UK as well as in Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. Although he enjoys playing a wide-ranging and eclectic repertoire, he has a special interest in the music of J.S. Bach, French Classical, French Romantic, German Romantic and Contemporary music. He regularly performed in the annual Celebrity Recital Series at St Paul's Cathedral – 'Timothy Wakerell proved himself a master of the instrument and its surroundings … [Gaston Litaize's Prélude et Danse Fuguée was] fully brought out by the technical aplomb and unerring musicianship of this excellent organist' (The Organ). In 2014 he also gave two recitals in St Paul's Cathedral as part of a series dedicated to the Trio Sonatas of J.S. Bach, and other recent venues have included Queen's College, Oxford, St Augustin, Paris, St George's, Hanover Square and Westminster Abbey (part of a series to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of HM the Queen).
Timothy has recently completed the premiere recording of the 2012 William Drake Organ in the OBE Chapel of St Paul's Cathedral. This recording features works by J.S. Bach, Buxtehude, Saint-Saëns and Sweelinck and is distributed by Priory Records.
Timothy is an experienced accompanist and frequently performs with choirs such as Aurora Nova, the City of Oxford Choir and Excalibur Voices. Organ teaching also is an important part of his work and he teaches organ at Westminster School.

I will not describe how to configure the switching infrastructure and you need to be able to do the initial configuration of the controller on your own. You need to have a working controller or a team of controllers with AP's connected. I use version 6.2.0 for my environment, but all other MSM versions down to 5.5 should work.
If you have the mobility premium license, you should enable Mobility Traffic Manager by going to Management –> Device Discovery and enable the Mobility controller discovery. If this is your only controller check the "This is the primary mobility controller" checkbox.
This step is optional, but this will enable you, to bridge traffic through the controller, which is my preferred way for redirecting the client to the BYOD Portal. Now we will create two VLAN's which will help us to get the client online. I called them "BYOD_registration" and "BYOD_Guest". The "BYOD_registration" VLAN will be used to transfer the clients to the IMC BYOD portal and restrict traffic to every other direction then the portal. The "BYOD_Guest" VLAN is actually the VLAN which will carry the client traffic after the client is fully connected and should have access to the internet. Just go to Network –> Network profiles and create both VLAN's.
If you don't have the premium license or won't let the controller tunnel one of the VLAN's you can skip the next step. For all the others: Go to Network –>VLANs and select the VLAN which should be forwarded to the controller and select a port. In this case I use the "BYOD_registration" VLAN and put it on the internet port. I always put egress VLAN's on the internet port. This option will create a tagged VLAN on the internet port. So be sure, that the Infrastructure could handle this.
For my setup, I tagged both ports to the internet port, which means that all the data needs to go through the controller. It is also possible to have the "BYOD_Guest" VLAN handled locally by the AP, which is very useful when having branch offices with their own internet breakout.
If you want to have one of the VLAN's switched locally by the AP, there is one more step to do. You have to go to the AP or the AP group and select Configuration–>Local networks and put the VLAN, which should be switched locally on the Local networks side. This option is only considered for VSC's which have MTM enabled.
After setting up the scene, we need to create an SSID to provide the Service to our clients. So, create a new VSC and configured it as below: Setup a name for the VSC, this is not the name of the SSID, but it would make sense to keep them the same. The important stuff is the checkmarks for "Authentication" and "Access control". Remove the check mark for "Access control". Remove the checkmark for "Authentication" only, if every AP should send its own radius request to the IMC server! This could be useful if the controller fails and you still want to authenticate users, but you need to have all AP's in the Access Device list of UAM.
VSC ingress mapping is a simple one, leave it as it is.
In the Virtual AP box, you can specify the SSID name. In all my configurations, it is the same as the VSC name. Below are my preferred settings for "Broadcast name" and "Band steering". You can use your preferred settings here. It will not have any impact on the BYOD solution, but it will have impact on your RF environment.
You have to enable Wireless mobility, if you need traffic, going through the controller. This will enable the local networks settings, we set earlier.
As the SSID is not protected by WPA 2, in my case, this option makes no sense and remain off. I also disabled the Wireless security filters, for my Home Network. For a production environment it could make sense to use them.
In my case, the SSID is not protected with WPA or any 802.1x authentication. If you need, you can enable the WPA 2 preshared key protection. Be aware, all your guests need to know the key.
For BYOD to work, I have to enable MAC-based authentication. This has to be a remote authentication with IMC UAM as the radius server. There is no way to use a different radius server.
The wireless IP filter will not make any sense, as this will not allow traffic to the internet. Now save the new VSC.
The last step is to bind the VSC to the desired AP group. Don't use any Egress Network. The radius server will send a VLAN ID.
These were my BYOD settings for the MSM controller in my Home Lab. This should also work in bigger environments. In future posts, I will describe how to configure the IMC UAM part. If you find anything which is not working, contact me or leave me a comment. I will try to include this into my post.

An IVTC For Emmanuelle
The name "Emanuelle" has become sononymous with Italian exploitation, thanks in no small part to the dozen or two pictures starring Laura Gemser as "The Black Emanuelle". In effect, Emanuelle was the local knock-off of the real life writer Emmanuelle Arsan/Marayat Rollet-Andriane, the Thai born wife of a French dignitary who used her life story as the basis for a saucy 1959 novel - simply titled Emmanuelle - in which a 16 year old girl discovered who she was through her sexual experiences. It's an early entry to the notion that being a total slut can be feminist empowerment, a notion I strongly support... possibly for all the wrong reasons.
The "original" Emmanuelle, in all of her progressively whorish glory.
She and her husband eventually came forward as the authors, and published a series of naughty sequels, which either calls into question the validity of her original memoirs, or makes her one of the busiest trophy wives in history. In either case, I wouldn't be horribly surprised.
Italian director Cesare Cavenari actually created the first on-screen portrayal of Arsan's persona with IO, EMMANUELLE - or 'A Man For Emmanuelle' as it's known in English - but it's not at all the film you might expect from the lunatic who directed Gestappo's Last Orgy, which I'd willingly nominate as the most awesome exploitation film ever made. The film has more to do with protesting and book burning than it does with oogling boobies - despite the lovely Erika Blane getting 'tastefully' naked a few times - and while an interesting socio-political artifact and yet another stylish Cavenari feature that defies both convention and explanation, it's not even in the same universe of over the top erotica fans more with the "Black Emanuelle" films of Joe D'amato and Bruno Mattei have come to expect.
The R1 release from Televista is a saturation boosted PAL>NTSC conversion of the R2 Italian transfer used by Medusa, so the R1 is only worth mentioning for the fact that it has English subtitles. Frustratingly, the Medusa transfer isn't much better, with ghosting on the opening titles, an interlaced transfer for the entire film, endless print damage, thick edge enhancement, constantly bizarre color, removal of what was surely heavy grain, and even remnants of composite video artifacts. It's got to be whatever 15+ year old transfer Medusa released on VHS, and the only thing they ever did to fix the poor girl up was upscale her to 16:9.
There's so many things wrong with the original telecine that it would easily take weeks to tweak it on a scene-by-scene basis, eliminating film damage and correcting the color... but the least this poor film deserves is a progressive transfer.
There, isn't that better? I had to manually key out specific ranges of 100% interlaced frames as a separate text file to properly deinterlace them, since TIVTC wasn't "smart" enough to pick up when there was some pretty heinous ghosting... I swear, parts of this transfer are running at 12 frames per second. I'll add that it's easy enough to remove that heinous film damage, but only at settings that'll do some pretty harsh damage to Cavenari's sweeping, zooming, hand-held camera work...
Oh sure, it looks great now, but what happens when we keep these same settings on a scene with a lot of movement and small shiny objects that could - mathematically - be mistook for film dirt?

The Jungle Giants dominated 2017's triple j Hottest 100, with numerous entries from their 2017 release 'Quiet Ferocity' making them the only independent act to receive 4 placements. The Brisbane 4-piece defied expectations with their third album, racking up well over 50 million Spotify streams, and topping numerous 2017 Best Of lists and landed #7 on triple j listeners Top 10 Albums of 2017.
The Jungle Giants are renowned for their energetic live sets, filled with charging dance hooks and contagious scream-your-lungs-out choruses. They have wowed audiences both internationally and at home with the 'Used To Be In Love' tour having completely sold out across 15 massive Australian dates.


With the official album tour party at Sankeys, Manchester now just over a week away, now seemed like the best time for our Nicola McDougall to give her thoughts on Eddie's album for Toolroom Records... I'm intrigued. Eddie Halliwell releasing a house album without the word 'hard' in front of it. This has got to be worth a listen surely! So, in search of some sun I decide to take 'Toolroom Knights Mixed By Eddie Halliwell' to Ibiza with me on a pre-season jaunt to the White Isle and clearly this album is going to be a forerunner for this season's madness as the billboards already have appeared plastered with his Toolroom night artwork.
The album starts off with a nice and gentle intro in the shape of a sweet offering from Digitalism, 'Circles', and moves into the more melodic Eddie's Edit of Morgan Page, Sultan, Ned Shepard & BT 'In The Air'. The vocals from Angela McCluskey on this track are classically beautiful, almost trancey and there's certainly room for a bit of sing-a-long. Included in the album is without a doubt one of the best remixes I have ever heard of Florence and the Machine's 'You Got The Love'. Although it's been out for months, Mark Knight has managed to take this track and really turn it into something even more special than the original and certainly a cut above the other remixes that were released. It's well worth a listen just for this track alone.
Keeping ahead of the game, the further offering from Mark Knight and Funkagenda in the form of 'Antidote' is just sublime. A beautifully presented piece of music I'd kill to hear played in a club and watch the goose bumps as it reverberates around the room. Spine tingling stuff! I'm absolutely in love with Eddie's remix of the Trisco track 'Musak', which originally featured on my favourite movie 'It's All Gone Pete Tong'. I love the take on this track, as it brings a fresher, funkier feel to it - I can't quite make it to the next track because I keep putting this one on repeat. In the mix is also 'Bang Bang' by LA Fuente (Eddie's Edit), where you get to sample some of that scratching that we all know and love from Eddie. Towards the end of the album it's positively buzzing, it's gone way past house and into a deep and dirty electro tinged party. Nicky Romero's 'Generation 303 (Eddie's Edit) is going to get some caning in Ibiza this season I can tell you!
Is this house? I don't know. I like the fact the album has not been defined by its name. There's a bit of trance like house, banging house, verging on hard house and it's played in my house! Loud! This is a seriously wicked offering from Eddie, something for everyone at any stage in their musical journey and it's the kind of album that will stay in my music collection for many years.

"I'm going to be as good of a father to him as I can be. That's the only reason I get up and go to work every morning— because of him."
"As difficult as it can be, being a single father, don't give up. It's important that they know that you're there for them."
"If you expect the best out of your children, you've got to give them the best."
"Just stick with it. Bite the bullet. Make sure you take time out of your busy schedule to devote to your children."
"I'm sad about my (divorce) situation, but I just have hope for the future, knowing that I'm going to be these guys' father for the rest of their life. That excites me."
"A child needs that love. Someone's got to show that to them. A child needs to know that there's someone out there who cares for them and has their best interest at heart."
"I understand there are some parents who work all the time, but I can't stress the importance of doing whatever it takes to make room for your kids. They should be your priority."
"Once you become a dad, it's not about you anymore; it's about your kids, and they come first."

"Read to your children. Show them affection. Be there for them so they can learn from being around their father."

"They [Head Start] have a lot of parent involvement. They always have events that involve the parent and the child."
"When my kids go there (to Head Start) it's like 'BOOM!' their eyes just immediately light up."

Rockville, MD. July 03, 2012– Disabled Sports USA announces that Team Warfighter Sports concluded its 21 day climb of Denali (Mt. McKinley) in Alaska, the highest mountain in North America, due to severe weather.
The team included five climbers, with only four "good legs" between them, from three wars and two generations: Retired Army Sgt. Neil Duncan, 29, a double-leg amputee injured in Afghanistan; Marine Capt. David Borden, 31, who, after losing his leg above the knee to a suicide bomb in Iraq in 2008, returned to combat in Afghanistan in 2011; retired Army Cpl. Steve Martin, 42, a double-leg amputee injured in Afghanistan; retired Army Capt. Jesse Acosta, 34, who suffered permanent damage to hip, leg and back in Iraq; and retired Army Sgt. Kirk Bauer, JD, 64, an above-knee amputee injured in Vietnam and the Executive Director of Disabled Sports USA for the past 29 years.
Despite reaching 14,200 feet and camping for nine days waiting for the weather to improve, the team was unable to proceed. Eighteen days into the climb, on June 28, one final attempt was made to continue to ascend, but at 15,500 feet, a severe snowstorm forced the team back to 14,200 feet.
"The team gave it a strong effort, working hard for weeks as they made their way up the slopes of Denali, but ultimately, weather conditions just didn't cooperate. The loose snow made footing especially difficult and increased the risk of avalanches. With more time and better weather, I am confident Team Warfighter Sports would have reached the summit," stated Drew Ludwig, the expedition's lead guide from Mountain Trip.
Even though the team did not reach the summit of Mt. McKinley, team members gave it their all and were grateful for the tremendous guides from Mountain Trip and the support they received from their family and friends, general public and the climb's sponsors, including: Chartis, Tee it up for the Troops, Team Semper Fi, American Airlines, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, and Leonidas International, a foundation started by climber Acosta. The team provided updates to their supporters through a satellite phone generously supplied by Iridium.
"It was the experience of a lifetime and I plan to return to conquer that mountain" Martin said.
"The guide team was fantastic and a critical element to this climb. We were prepared, had the right equipment, trained hard, planned well and were steam-rolled by something uncontrollable and unpredictable – the weather," Duncan said.
"When I reflect on our Warfighter Sports Denali Challenge, I truly believe that those emotionally or physically wounded veterans who witnessed our efforts on the mountain would likely be that much more compelled to attempt an activity they might otherwise have thought impossible. So, regardless of how high we ultimately climbed, we would have achieved our objective in reaching out to and influencing this population. Ironically, I would be remiss not to say there's a growing desire to return to the mountain and finish what we started," Acosta said.
The Denali climb benefits Warfighter Sports, a program of Disabled Sports USA, which offers free sports rehabilitation for severely wounded warriors in military hospitals and communities across the U.S. Over 5,600 wounded warriors and families have been served since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began. Warfighter Sports rebuilds lives through sports by improving self-confidence, promoting independence and uniting families through shared healthy activities.
Warfighter Sports, a program of Disabled Sports USA, offers sports rehabilitation for severely wounded warriors in military hospitals and communities across the U.S. through a nationwide network of over 100 community-based chapters. Since 1967, Disabled Sports USA has proudly served wounded warriors, including those injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, offering over 30 winter and summer sports at more than 100 events each year.
Warfighter Sports rebuilds lives through sports by improving self-confidence, promoting independence and uniting families through shared healthy activities. Contributions cover all expenses for participation, including individualized adaptive instruction, adaptive sports equipment, transportation, lodging and meals for the warrior and a family member. Since 2003, more than 5,600 of the most severely wounded and their families have been served, including those with amputations, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, visual impairments, and significant nerve and muscle damage.

Camera-Reviews
Fujifilm X-T100 Preview
By: Michael S. Palmer
Fuji is making some of the best digital cameras you buy for your money and they're changing the entry-level mirrorless game with the new X-T100. In many ways, this camera is more important to the company that the X-T2 and the new X-H1. Those cameras are competing at the top of the Mirrorless ILC game at just under $2000 dollars for the body only.
This 24.2 MP APS-C mirrorless camera from Fuji starts at only $599 for the body only. In a quote from Fuji's press release for the X-T100 fuji states:
"This mirrorless camera is a perfect fit for photographers looking for an easy to use, compact and versatile camera, offering excellent image quality with a variety of enhanced features with the familiar design of previous FUJIFILM X-T series cameras."
This just might be the entry-level mirrorless ILC camera people have been waiting for. This camera directly competes with Canon's recently released M-50 which is a 24.1MP APS-C ILC with many similar features. You're talking about sub $650 dollar cameras with similar features and abilities of their more expensive siblings that cost up to three times as much. If you're in the market for a new mid-level camera at an almost entry level price, the camera gods are smiling upon you.
The new X-T100 has features like 4K video with phase detection autofocus, 60fps HD video a native ISO range of 200 - 12800 extended up to 100 - 51200 and a battery that is rated to capture up to 430 images on a single charge.
At its core is a 24.2 MP APS-C sensor coupled with high-speed image processing and proprietary color reproduction technology. Toss in the fact that you can use ANY X mount lens and you have a formidable camera indeed. It has an adjustable 3" LCD screen that can swivel out horizontally and tilt up and down which when combined with the external microphone port make this a great camera for vlogging. It's also a beautiful little retro-styled camera that comes in three colors -- Black, Dark Silver and Champagne Gold -- and despite looking like a vintage 35mm camera still only weighs 448grams (just under one pound)!
The trickle-down effect of advanced options coming from higher priced models in the same line-up is strong with the X-T100. You're going to get that fast phase detection autofocus on a crisp built-in electronic viewfinder that makes it feel like you're using a camera that costs twice the price. The X-T100 also has 11 variations of FUJIFILM Film Simulation modes on top of 17 variations of Advanced Filters.
Fuji has also included a state of the art Auto mode they call "advanced SR+ Auto shooting mode" in which the camera will automatically both detect the subject in focus and the scene and select what it considers to be the optimum settings for both. The X-T100 has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth being optimal for preserved battery life and can connect to smartphones via an App to expand the capabilities of the camera. You can instantly transfer images from the camera to your phone, you can use the app as a remote and take pictures from afar or use it as a second monitor to see what your camera sees. You're finally getting what everyone wants in a new camera. Something that takes better stills and video than their smartphone without losing the ease of use and connectivity.
The new Fuji X-T100 is the perfect camera to lure consumers back into the ILC world from their smartphones and I can't wait to see more of it when it actually comes out.

Council again OKs reduced lanes on Broadway
JASON WALSH
INDEX-TRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER
Broadway is getting a new look – reversing a prior council's decision to keep the major thoroughfare as it is now.
The Sonoma City Council on Monday voted 3-1 to ask the state highway agency, Caltrans, to restripe portions of Broadway in a reconfiguration that will narrow the distance of crosswalks and add buffered bike lanes between the sidewalk and a parallel parking lane that would be adjacent to moving traffic.
A proposed brush up for Broadway's lanes has been in the cards for more than a year, as Caltrans has said it can complete the work as part of its $7 million planned Highway 12 revitalization taking place through 2021 from Vallejo Avenue in the Springs to Napa Street. But by the Aug. 2 meeting, city officials were on the clock to make a decision about any changes to the road, as Caltrans is expected to begin its repaving of Broadway in September, with restriping slated for October.
"We need to do something," said Vice Mayor Jack Ding at the meeting.
The council in 2020 voted 3-2 to reconfigure the Broadway approach to the Plaza, narrowing the road's five-vehicular lanes down to four in an effort to widen bike lanes. In an unusual move, that decision was reversed a month later after community members voiced their resistance to such a change on Broadway, often described as the "gateway" to Sonoma. But after a pedestrian was injured and her dog killed in an April 17 vehicle collision in the Broadway crosswalk at Andrieux Street, bike and pedestrian safety took on new urgency and on June 7 the council reopened discussions on improving safety on Broadway between MacArthur and Napa streets.
Sonoma Public Works Director Colleen Ferguson said Monday that the community's perception of the 2020 restriping discussion was focused on bicycle safety – and that the public response was that it should focus more on pedestrian safety.
Still in the cards, however, was the potential reduction from five lanes — two northbound, two southbound and a middle turn lane — to three lanes at the northern end of the road, allowing for shorter pedestrian crossings and new bike lanes. The lane reduction would lower the length of the crossing at MacArthur Street from 60 to 36 feet; and at Napa Street from 70 to 48 feet.
Traffic studies conducted on Broadway in recent years have shown that a reduction in lanes would have a negligible effect on traffic flow – though Councilmember Kelso Barnett pointed out that one traffic report relied on data collected about a month after the October wildfires of 2017, when traffic was reduced due to the disaster.
The larger discussion focused on a pair of options to institute buffered bike lanes to both sides of the road. Option A placed the bike lanes between moving traffic and parallel vehicle parking spaces. Option B placed the bike lanes between the sidewalk and parking lanes – with the parking lanes next to the traffic lanes. Option B is "a newer concept," said Ferguson, who added that while it provides greater safety for cyclists, "it could also mean confused drivers parking in the bike lane."
City staff estimates Option A's price tag at $43,200, and Option B at $41,700.
Resident Matt Metzler spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting in favor of Option B.
"Making it easier to get around without having to drive is far more important than making it easier to park," Metzler said.
Lisa Lavagetto said that over the years she'd had little trouble crossing Broadway safely, as long as she was careful to make eye contact with drivers before stepping onto the road. She said bicyclists and pedestrians need to be "held accountable" for minding the rules of the road.
"People don't look and just start right off in the crosswalk, because it's a crosswalk, right? Wrong," said Lavagetto.
A commenter identifying himself as Paul T said he doesn't trust the state to protect what has made Broadway so special since its founding. "I'm afraid the city is going to fold its hands and turn it over to the traffic engineers. And they're going to lose the vision of the grandness of Sonoma," he said.
Former Sonoma Mayor Logan Harvey was viewing the proceedings via Zoom from his new home in Washington state and addressed the issue of whether reducing lanes would cause a traffic bottleneck.
"The issue of increased traffic due to lane reduction has been studied repeatedly by national experts in traffic studies and not just the opinions of regular everyday citizens," said Harvey in public comment. "All of these studies have shown that there will be little to no effect on traffic on Broadway."
Mayor Madolyn Agrimonti and Councilmember Bob Felder voiced their strong support for Option B, to place the parking lane between vehicular and bike traffic.
"It's innovative, it's different and there is separation between the (moving) cars and the bikes," said Agrimonti.
Felder added that bike and pedestrian safety is "a critical issue" and if the council didn't act it would be years before Caltrans offered another opportunity to restripe the road.
"It's our responsibility to protect the citizens of this town, not just the cars," Felder said.
The lone vote against came from Barnett who held out concerns that reducing the number of vehicle lanes would have unforeseen consequences on traffic flow. He questioned the wisdom of once again changing course on Broadway, after the prior city council already made the decision not to restripe.
"I'm not really against these options in principle, I just want to make sure we're making the right decision," Barnett said.
Following the meeting, longtime Sonoma resident Jim Karabochos expressed disappointment with the decision. Karabochos, who owns a 2-acre parcel on Broadway at Leveroni Road, believes placing parking spaces between automobile and bike traffic will have a negative impact for Broadway businesses. He plans to hand out leaflets to local businesses explaining how the new parking configuration will result in traffic backups, as vehicles wait behind drivers parallel parking – resulting in cars taking shortcuts down side streets.
"This will happen," he predicts.
As to the need for bike lanes, Karabochos simply asks: "How many bikes go down Broadway compared to cars?"

Orange County faces more evacuations as Bond fire spreads – Los Angeles Times
For the second time in five weeks, Patrick Day packed up his photo albums, clothing and important documents and prepared to evacuate his Orange County home. Nearby, the Bond fire was rapidly chewing through canyon country.
The 51-year-old's Lake Forest neighborhood of two-story stucco homes was littered with deflated Christmas blowups and tinsel and lights hung from balcony railings Friday morning as ash fell like snow from the December sky.
"It's shocking that fire season is still going on into December," Day said. "It seems like every time there's winds, a fire breaks out."
The latest blaze, the Bond fire, erupted Wednesday night. By midday Thursday, it had exploded to more than 7,000 acres with 0% containment.
In late October, the fast-moving Silverado fire burned through roughly the same area, searing 13,400 acres and forcing tens of thousands of evacuations before firefighters got the blaze under control.
"So much of the hillside burned in the last fire and there's so little left to burn, so I'm not so sure how big of a risk there is to my home," Day said of the current fire.
Still, his wife, who awoke to a voluntary evacuation notice around 2 a.m., started packing in the middle of the night. Day and his family were ready to leave by 10 a.m. and planned to stay at a friend's hotel in Anaheim.
Sepehr Roshan of Pomona was also awoken early Thursday, with a notice that his aunt's home was in an evacuation zone. She has abdominal cancer, and evacuation proved difficult five weeks ago during the Silverado fire. The air quality did not help her health, so the 53-year-old drove to Orange County to help his family find accommodations and prepare to leave if needed.
Air quality near the fire took a nosedive Thursday. The Environmental Protection Agency monitoring site Air Now showed Orange, Irvine, Tustin and other areas near the Bond fire hovering in the unhealthy air quality range and advised people to reduce time outdoors and avoid strenuous activities.
"She's bed-resting right now, but it's tough," Roshan said. "She doesn't really want to leave her house because it's her comfort zone," Roshan said. "We made sure all the windows and doors are closed and the air purifier is on at all times."
Up the street, Donna Budman was monitoring the smoke outside her home of 28 years. The faint sound of sirens and loudspeakers from sheriff's vehicles echoed as they patrolled the area.
Her neighborhood has been threatened by wildfire three times since she moved in — twice in the last several weeks.
"This neighborhood is full of original homeowners," she said, "and for my kids, this is their home. This is all they know. We all have that sense of home, I think."
Budman said she and her family weren't planning to evacuate. She is watching the pine trees north of her home. If the threat level rises, her family is ready to evacuate, but they plan to bunker down in the meantime.
Her main worry was the Wi-Fi cutting out while her daughter was trying to finish a college exam.
"Maybe we have a false sense of security because of last month's fire burning a lot of the vegetation already," she said, "but it's a good reminder that we need to be ready, and we are."
Mandatory evacuation orders were in effect for Silverado, Modjeska, Williams, Black Star and Baker canyons and portions of Portola Hills and Foothill Ranch, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Voluntary evacuation warnings have been issued for areas spanning from Trabuco Canyon to north Tustin. The latest map of evacuation areas is available here.
A temporary Red Cross evacuation point has been set up in Lot 2 of Santiago Canyon College, 8045 E. Chapman Ave., Orange. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities said no congregate shelter was available, and they urged evacuees "to seek safety with family/friends or in a hotel."
Judy Smith, a 48-year-old from Lake Forest, stood by her car outside the Red Cross area Thursday afternoon. She had anticipated spending the week isolating at home after developing a mild cold and showing pre-COVID-19 symptoms. Instead, she spent hours in her car trying to find hotel accommodations with a separate room for her daughter, who was perched in an adjacent car.
"We'll be OK. It's an unfortunate timing," Smith said. "I'm going to see what I can do to isolate from my daughter."
Around 70 cars had come for assistance by 1 p.m., said Red Cross officials, who were prepping to find a new location as the evacuation zone was encroaching on their locale.

Budapest, March 22 (MTI) – Recent attacks launched against Hungary from various directions have "the common characteristic of extreme human rights fundamentalism", the ruling Fidesz party's communications chief said on Wednesday.
"The strengthening of Hungary's border protection with legal regulations has been the subject of some of the attacks because organisations backed by Hungarian-born US financier George Soros expect Brussels to punish Hungary," Balázs Hidvéghi told a press conference.
Amnesty International has stated that it would complain to the President of the European Commission, the commissioner in charge of migration, the Council of Europe and the United Nations over Hungary's strengthened border protection laws, Hidvéghi said. Organisations with ties to Soros "pull every string to dump on Hungary", and the Commission in Brussels has been specifically asked to launch an infringement procedure against Hungary, he said, adding that the suspension of Hungary's voting rights had also been raised.
"Pro-migration organisations are once against promoting illegal migration by encouraging illegal migrants to violate Hungary's regulations and arrive in Europe illegally by tricking the Hungarian authorities," Hidvéghi said.
He criticised a Strasbourg court ruling last week which found Hungary at fault for rejecting the refugee applications of two Bangladeshi citizens. Hidvéghi described the ruling as "surreal", adding that it was an "upsetting example of the extreme and distorted direction taken by human rights judgmentalism and the way of thinking in Europe". He said that this "distorted way of thinking weakens the EU and is one of the reasons why Britain decided to leave the EU".
Fidesz is calling on the government to appeal against the ruling and not to yield when it comes to migration policy, while it should resist all attempts at influence from abroad, Hidvéghi said.
In response to a question on whether Hungary is considering leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, he said it would be too early to talk about this. Instead it is necessary to work against the distorted interpretation of human rights, he said, expressing hope that Péter Paczolay, a new judge at the Strasbourg court from Hungary, would "represent a more sensible way of thinking" in human rights issues than the previous Hungarian judge Andras Sajo.
All NGOs who are paid by Soros should join him in France. If you do not like the country, leave. Obviously, you do not realize the long term effect of what you are asking. NGOS should not betray their country for money which is what they are doing.
EU should give you back to Russia.
"The #US followed #Germany as Hungary's second largest investor"


In what ways did William Whewell disagree with Immanuel Kant?
Whewell disagreed with Kant (1724–1804) in not limiting the number of Fundamental Ideas, and claiming that we can have objective knowledge of the world as it exists in itself, independently of our Fundamental Ideas. Kant, on the other hand, held that we cannot know things as they are in themselves, but only things as our categories enable us to understand them. Whewell posited God as the creator of our Fundamental Ideas. Because God had created them, these ideas matched reality.

Custom jewelry should tell a story – like this military bullet casing pendant made by Scott's Custom Jewelers.
Recently, Janis came to us with a bullet casing from her father's military funeral. He was a veteran and had died several months ago. After the ceremony, the funeral director presented the family with the bullet casings from the 21 gun salute.
Well, Janis loves jewelry, but wasn't too keen on wearing a bullet around her neck like a rapper. Wrong message. This had to be symbolic, yet not "in your face".
So she came to us with the casing and a great sketch of what she wanted the pendant to look like when done. She worked with Scott, telling him that she wanted it to be feminine, but bold. Simple enough to wear with jeans, but still dressy enough for an evening out. She wanted people to notice it so she could tell them about her dad.
Lucky for her, Scott knew a little about bullets (he worked at a gun range while in college).
He was able to design a sterling silver bezel using CAD (computer aided design) technology that fit the bullet just right. So he cut the end off, and fastened it using "jewelry magic" Then, to make it sparkle, Scott added a small white crystal in the center. He purposely left the bullet casing rough to show that it had been used. That roughness, with the contrast of the polished silver and sparkly gem, made for a very interesting piece of custom jewelry.
Janis was overjoyed. She not only had a new piece of custom jewelry, but one with a great story!

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The United States Embassy in the Philippines has vowed to investigate the possible involvement of an American in the murder of a transgender Filipino in Olongapo City.
"We are aware of the situation and express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. We are also aware that there are allegations that a foreigner, including possibly a US national, was involved in the incident," the US Embassy said in a statement aired by GMA News on Monday, October 13.

A police report on Sunday, October 12, identified the victim as Jeffrey Laude, also known as Jennifer.
Laude, 26, was found dead on the floor of a comfort room in Celzone Lodge, Olongapo City, according to the report signed by Police Chief Inspector Gil Arizo Domingo.
Laude's head "was leaning" on a toilet bowl, while "his lower body was partially covered with a color cream blanket" as the victim was naked, the report said.
Police saw injuries on Laude's neck.
Witness Elias Gallamos said Laude entered Celzone Lodge with an "unidentified male white foreigner" at around 10:55 pm on Saturday, October 11. Gallamos said the foreigner sports a marine "style of hair cut," and is between 25 and 30 years old.
The PNP said it is working to arrest the suspect. – with reports from Paterno Esmaquel II and Randy Datu/Rappler.com

TREX series (#0.5-1, 9) by Allie K. Adams (.ePUB)+
TREX series by Allie K. Adams (#0.5-1;9)
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 3 mb
Overview: Allie K. Adams is a USA Today bestselling author and writer of several award-winning stories. Having previously served as a reserve deputy, Allie has firsthand experience in the dangers she writes about. She is known for her highly erotic, deeply intense suspense romances, and on most days can be found in front of her computer saving the world one sizzling story at a time. She grew up in Seattle, and currently lives in southwest Montana with her crazy family.
Genre: Fiction > Romance
First Response: When opportunity knocks…
TREX Special Agent Spencer Allen has been waiting to take the lead since he first started with the covert agency. He's earned his place as his team's CO and is given a mission that could make or break his career. The night before he deploys, he decides a little R&R is in order. He meets the CEO of the search and rescue group TREX contracts with, takes her home, and they have an unforgettable one-night stand, despite TREX's strict policy not allowing agents to get involved with members of competing agencies.
The response is everything…
Kat Davis didn't expect to be swept off her feet by a member of the egotistical men-in-black agency that orders her agency around on searches. He says all the right things, touches her in all the right ways, and makes it impossible to resist him. It's only one-night, she reasons. She's not ready to commit to more than what they've already had together and quickly retreats, leaving Spencer confused and angry.
Spencer completes his mission and has a decision to make–one that could give him an ounce of happiness, the other the right thing to do. Will he do the right thing? Or do what's right?
Rescue Me: Deadly secrets…
As a TREX Special Agent, it's Spencer Allen's job with the covert agency to tell lies to keep the people around him safe. When a mission goes south, he has no choice but to call in the help of K-SAR, a search and rescue group led by the only woman with the power to destroy his control.
Mounting danger…
Kat Davis has a gift for finding people. When she finds a man not meant to be found and overhears details of a murder, and the plotting of another, she turns to the one man she swore she'd never trust again.
One touch detonates the inferno burning between Kat and Spencer. When a mysterious explosion nearly kills them both, Spencer vows to protect her at any cost, even if it means revealing a secret that could tear them apart—forever.
Merry TREXmas: Christmas turns to chaos when the senior agents of TREX get together in Seattle for the holidays. What's a forced reunion without a little laughter, a few tears, and a couple fistfights?
After too many hours under the same roof, too many alphas, and too little patience, tempers snap. The agents are out of their element in more ways than one, especially when the special director drops a bomb no one saw coming.
It takes a 12-year-old autistic boy and his faithful companion to remind them all of the true meaning of Christmas. His appearance and the reason behind it reminds the agents why they're together in the first place.

Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews during a race (which I've been known to share while pacing) and Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars for afterwards. Yum!
Character is who you are when nobody but God is Watching.
Boston 2006 – It was such an honor to be there and the exciting vibe lasted all 26.2 miles of the route, with people cheering the whole way. I had been a spectator for a number of years prior so it was so much fun to be a participant. The first half of the race just flew by as I took in all the sights and tried to remember them all. The noise and cheering at Wesley College was a highlight and I just smiled for miles afterwards. I was wondering when Heartbreak Hill was going to rear it's ugly head when the road was suddenly chalked with "You just conquered Heartbreak!" It wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. And I had more energy than expected at the end of the race and literally passed dozens of runners during the final ½ mile stretch down Boyleston Street as the crowd screamed. I crossed the finish with a huge smile and then had an exhausted and overjoyed meltdown with happy tears.
I couldn't believe how much fun pacing was during my first marathon (Snickers Marathon, 2009). It was such a positive vibe among all of the people running and we really became a group committed to encouraging and supporting one another toward a common goal. Although running is typically an individual sport, running with a pace group makes it a very positive team effort.
I was able to pace a fellow physical therapist, who I just met that morning, to her goal of qualifying for Boston. I hope I see her in Beantown this year!
Having a pace group means not having to worry or think too hard. Just lock into the group, put one foot in front of the other, enjoy the ride and let me do the math. We pacers have very strict instructions to hit pace DEAD ON so you can count on that.
I like to talk to each person in my group – find out where you are from, how long you've been running, how your training went, what your goals are. I love it when we have a small little beehive running together and all socializing. But if you are more apt to just tuck in the back and not say a word, that's fine too. I'll try to encourage you with a smile.
I will be running completely even splits, meaning each mile will be the same pace. If you feel good towards the end, feel free to take off and run strong. No hard feelings! You'll make me proud!
