First Friday: Prints, prints and more prints... and a whole lot more
Susan Froyd September 3, 2010 2:13PM
Can it already be First Friday again? There's lot of art to be seen and good times to be had, so put on your walking shoes and go out into the night on the last great weekend of summer. After the jump, find our suggestions about where to head.
Art District on Santa Fe
The biggest news on Santa Fe tonight is the Print Event, Weekend of Prints Inc., a multi-gallery print exhibition that also spreads to the Golden Triangle and South Broadway. A weekend-long event showcasing the affordability, history and craftsmanship of artists' prints produced by Mark Lunning and Marina Graves of Open Press Ltd., Weekend of Prints features works by Colorado artists priced at $500 or less. Visit Abecedarian Gallery, Artwork Network, Black Book, Carla Wright Gallery, Knoll Gallery, Space Gallery and Vertigo Art Space along Santa Fe Drive, as well as Open Press, 40 West Bayaud Street, and Walker Fine Art, 300 West 11th Avenue, today until 10 p.m. or tomorrow from noon to 5 p.m.; admission is free.
Also on Santa Fe, 910 Arts hosts part two of The Art of Dirt, a fair-trade exhibition of paintings by artists in underdeveloped countries, presented by Denver-based International Development Enterprises. Admission is free tonight for Liberadores/Liberators at the Museo de las Americas, and Studio 12 Gallery hosts an opening reception for In with the Old, an exhibition of travels in Italy by photographer Jim DeLutes. The delightful found-object assemblages of Jason Sheppard and Scott Raby remain on view in One Point Twenty-One Jiggawats at Vertigo Art Space.
And, hey, robot enthusiasts: Be served snacks by autonomous robots Wilma and Basil (profiled in Joel Warner's 2008 Westword story) at Gamma Two, Inc., 209 Kalamath Street, Unit 13, where demonstrations will be given at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 p.m..
River North Art District
In RiNo, don't miss The Sacred Bug and Insect, a group show at Hinterland, 3254 Walnut Street, and Zottelbart Encore is certain to be crowd-pleaser at Pattern Shop Studio, 3349 Blake Street.
Silkscreen artist Shane Simmons of Nerdlife Design will do on-site demos, featuring a limited edition design and partying , at Designhaus Denver, 3939 Williams St. #111, and it's a last chance to catch shows by Sophia Dixon Dillo and Ray Tomasso at the Ice Cube Gallery, 3320 Walnut Street.
Tennyson Street
Visit Marie Gibbons at her EvB Studio, 4343 W. 44th Avenue, between 6 and 9 p.m., and fashion your own mini clay koi fish for a fee of $10 to $15 (depending on the finish); no reservations are necessary for the make-and-take, which includes all materials and kiln firing. Gibbons is also continuing a major studio sale through tomorrow.
Sellars Project Space, 4383 Tennyson Street, hosts an opening reception for (IN)VISIBLE, a solo exhibition of photographic works by Maarten Haverkamp from 6 to 9 p.m. And see live glass-working demonstrations during the same hours at Shack Man Glass, 3918 Tennyson Street.
Golden Triangle/South Broadway
Ravi Zupa is a popular man: A few weeks after his show at Illiterate closed, he's back with another, next door at Indy Ink, 84 S. Broadway. This show, notes Indy Ink's Chris Huth, takes a different tack by showcasing the talented Zupa's screen printing skills, featuring both t-shirts and posters. And, he adds, everything will be limited editions and priced to sell. Illiterate , 82 S. Broadway, counters with Landfill, featuring new works by Kevin Hennessy and Jarell Shields (described by Illiterate as including "cartoons to playing cards, illustrated alphabets to sign painting, found objects to do-it-yourself tattoos"), so the party will flow back and forth from 7 to 11 p.m.
Navajo Art District
See shows by Catherine Carilli and Garvin at Next Gallery, 3659 Navajo Street Denver, and an exhibit by Mike Keene opens tonight across the street at at Zip 37; works by Jessica Ellis, Joan MacDonald and Hans Wolf end a run at Edge Gallery, 3658 Navajo Street, as will shows by Christine Buchsbaum and Lewis Neeff at Pirate: Contemporary Art, 3655 Navajo Street.

I'm not gonna lie. Hope Sandoval makes me feel old. I can't believe it's been 19 years since the first Mazzy Star album. What makes it seem even longer are the eight years that have passed since Sandoval's last album. Sure, she's sang on other records here and there, but one-offs are never enough. Once again she teams up with Colm Ó Cíosóig, who admits he holds back on his work with Sandoval, and that the music exists on "the opposite ends of the spectrum" as compared to My Bloody Valentine, his other band. "Blanchard" is the first single from the album, Through the Devil Softly, due out September 15th. Compared to the songs on her last album, "Blanchard" is downright dense and lush. Dare I say, it sounds a lot more like Mazzy Star (who by the way are finishing up another record, but Sandoval told Rolling Stone that she "has no idea what that means." I love it. She's still wonderfully reticent). After an eight year absence, it'll be great to have Hope Sandoval's still, small voice flowing anesthetically through my brain. If tour dates coalesce, I hope the venues have seating, because while Sandoval's voice completed resisted deterioration for the past twenty years, my ability to stand during extremely mellow concert sets has not.

The Submarines
You've heard the Submarines by now. They're getting a lot of buzz nowadays, but even if you haven't, just think of the commercial for a certain fancy cell phone that everyone seems to have these days. See, you have heard them.
Our motto here at 3hive is "Sharing the Sharing," where we share free and legal MP3's. And there are so many times when we want to share an awesome band, but they don't have any free MP3's on offer. I've been wanting to share an old fave of mine since the start of 3hive, Jackdrag aka Jack Dragonetti, for ages. "Aviating" is one of those songs I just keep coming back to over the years. But no MP3's to share. Then he formed the Submarines with Blake Hazard, moving on from his eccentric folk-pop to more electric, pure pop. Their song "Peace & Hate" from their Declare a New State LP is one of my faves from 2006. But no MP3's to share. However, the day of sharing has finally come. For their current tour with the Morning Benders, this now husband-and-wife duo has released a free single covering the Benders' song "Waiting for a War." Patience pays, eventually.

Hanne Hukkelberg
I've been a patient boy. And today all my quiet suffering and yearning pays off. Hanne Hukkelberg's new album comes out today and she begins touring the states this week. What Hukkelberg offers this time around on Rykestrasse 68 is fortunately more of the same: beautifully textured percussion, swaying rhythms and her exquisitely delicate voice. Her bicycle returns on this recording along with 29 other different instruments. The best way to listen to Hanne Hukkelberg is to simply shut up. Shut up your preconceived ideas of what a pop song should sound like. Shut up the glut of voices and sounds you've been listening to all day today and let her swab your skull clean, like a slice of aural ginger clearing your head of everything before it, and hear the world for the first time again.
A Cheater's Armoury [MP3, 5.3MB, 128kbps]
(Original Post 10/25/05):
My eight year old started up on the clarinet this year in school. Never having played a reed instrument, I took a stab at it. Wow. Blowing into that little hole to produce any sound besides that of cats mating was impossible. Lucky for us and our neighbors, it clicked with my son much quicker. Segue to a recent CD shopping spree and I bought this Hanne Hukkelberg album based on the cover art alone. Several tracks feature a gorgeous clarinet and I was anxious to play it at home. The rest of the album was simply a wonderful surprise. Ms Hukkelberg's calm, gentle vocals evoke a female David Sylvian, and her minimal, jazz-like compositions played on, among other things, pots, pans, wineglasses, and bicycle spokes, make for an organic version of Björk.

Ferraby Lionheart
Lately, everything has just seemed charming. And my last few posts have reflected that. (Uh, I hope?) Ferraby Lionheart completes my "charmed cycle" and, with Clare and the Reasons and Jens Lekman, has been fillling my little apartment with happy sounds. He doesn't sound like Ryan Adams to me at all, but somehow when Ferraby Lionheart is playing, my brain is somehow right back in Chicago circa 2000 listening to Whiskeytown and driving down Lakeshore Drive watching the leaves change. Or I am in Minnesota listening to the Strokes first album for the first time. In short, this is music to mark time to. Mr. Lionheart is a mishmash–there are strings occasionally, some Otis Redding style whistling, tics sometimes, a little harmonica and a small, appropriate amount of irony mixed up in this man's music. But mostly its just pretty and solid, and tis the season for pretty, transporting songs.

My friend down the hall, Joe LaDuke, has tossed two excellent suggestions my way in just the last few weeks. The first was Pandora, a subset of the Music Genome Project. If you haven't seen it yet, Pandora is basically a personalized Internet DJ. Type in an artist or song that you like, and Pandora will break down your selection via a number of musical criteria and then offer up a selection of other artists that match up with your tastes. While it naturally can't acknowledge my desire to have something cool and ambient after a hot ska set, Pandora is fantastic for exposure to new music. We kind of like that here at 3hive. Joe's other offering was Hem, and based on what I've read about the band, it seems like someone should have told me about them sooner. Favorably compared to Mazzy Star and Cowboy Junkies, among others, Hem offers fat, lush, beautifully-written, unadulterated songs sung wonderfully by Sally Ellyson. "The Golden Day is Done," from an album full of covers and other band favorites, gives a good hint of Hem's unique sense of place along the backroads of the American South.

Microsoft has committed to upgrading Windows 10 twice a year, and to make those roll outs go smoother, the next version is going to require around 7GB of hard drive storage space for future updates, apps, temporary files, and system caches on some PCs.
The precise amount of storage that gets reserved will vary, depending on how you use your PC. Microsoft anticipates it will "start at about 7GB," though it could be higher. It could also be lower - users will not be able to disable this feature, though they can reduce the amount by uninstalling optional features and additional languages.
"On Microsoft Windows 10 systems that have limited storage space (often, thin clients or embedded systems), when you run Windows Update, the update process may display an error message due to insufficient storage space,"
Unfortunately users won't have the option of disabling it, especially if their primary storage drive isn't that big to begin with.


Am new to wyze and right now trying to set up IFTTT to activate another brand smart plug.
Saying "yes" is not sufficient. You need to click the VOTE button at the top.
I don't think it's necessary for them to make a smart plug… There are plenty of smart plugs already. They need to focus on fixing bugs in the current app, adding new features, and on improving their current cameras.
I agree new features is something that everyone would love to see.
Smart life is an excellent IFTTT app that talks to several smart devices that are IFTTT compliant. It's available for iOS and Android.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that there's tons of improvement still to be made with our existing products which is why we're super focused on fixing bugs and launching new features. While the majority of the team is working hard to deliver these updates, my job is to try and see how we can make the Wyze Ecosystem even more useful and to continue delivering on our promise to make quality smart home technology accessible. So when you see new products come out from Wyze (or hear about us working on them) know it's a very small portion of our team and that it doesn't take resources from fixing bugs or adding features. Thanks again for being a member of the community, participating in the forum, and providing us with your feedback!
this isn't quite what I was thinking of. I was envisioning a camera that you can just plug into the wall as an integrated thing, no wall wart no cable, just shove it in and set up.
Meh, I mean sonoff pratically beat everyone at that game. 5$ for a smart switch that can operate at 2000W, I don't think even wyze can beat them.
I have several smart plugs/switches but no home sensors yet. The first thing I do is change the firmware with firmware which has MQTT. This is so I don't have to use the supplier's or IFTTT app or cloud services. "Home Assistant" and I expect other home automation use MQTT. Exposing MQTT for wyze sensors will open the DIY market to wyze.
Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.
luongmaihunggia, I started with sonoff but moved to devices with better build quality, IMHO.
Anyway, to take full advantage of sonoff & the other devices, the firmware tasmota is needed to replace the devices original firmware. This is to take advantage of tasmota's mqtt and timers.
I would be very interested in wyze home sensors at reasonable prices, decent build quality and mqtt. Smart timers would be an added bonus.
I think the sonoff switch works fine out of the box and doesn't really need upgrading. You can remotely turn if on or off from the app or have an on/off schedule, it works with alexa and google assistant, what more can you ask for? But I do agree that the build quality is not very good, when you open it up and look inside you can see some flaw like using solder instead of copper cable to handle high current. Now that I think about it, maybe wyze should just take sonoff design, maybe replace solder with cable and sell it as their own. Afterall that's how they do it with the wyzecam and wyze cam pan which are just rebranded xiaomi cam which is why they don't need to go through the expensive designing process which is why their cameras are so cheap.
@luongmaihunggia did you upgrade the firmware on yours? To me, the "sonoff basic" biggest issue is you must connect AC power to it. The tiny screws into plastic makes this very dangerous as the AC power is not very secure.
Anyway I think we are getting off topic.
It would be interesting to know what sensors wyze is developing. I am interested in motion, sound, light, temperature, humidity, doors/windows open/close and even in wall switch/dimmers as long as they use mqtt.
If the Smart plug worked with the Pan motion detection to activated my alarm siren it would be good. I would want the firmware feature to be able to adjust the amount of time the plug stays 'On' once activated.
The smart plug is really one of the key items that would allow completion of the wyse sense project. The new bulb is good but there are a lot of devices beyond a bulb that would be nice to control.
Would LOVE this… a reliable smart plug that is as easy to setup as the cams would be great!
One example, if I want a plug/light switch to turn on and then off during certain hours on certain days of the week, most products can do this. However, if I want that same plug/light switch to also turn on and then off at a different time on the same day during the same days of the week, then most products fail to provide this capability within their app/software.
Another useful feature is the ability to create/stack semi-automatic rules, if I turn this plug/light switch on then X minutes/hours later it turns off.
Another useful feature is the ability to tell the plug/light switch to turn on 20 minutes after sunset and then off 30 minutes before sunrise.
Grouping of plugs/light switches would be great as I have never had this feature. If you have a lot of the same brand of smart plugs/switches, it can be difficult to manually turn them all on/off without the ability to group them.
For Smart Light Switches MAKE SURE there is a 3-way light switch option. It is always frustrating to invest in a brand of smart products then come to find out that the most useful place to have a smart light switch such as in a hallway, where 3-way light switches are common, cannot be done.
A Wyze plug would be nice, but if Wyze is going to stay closed walls with proprietary hardware, it also needs to build a robust rules engine.
I agree with @jeff007 ideas for programatic functions of both Smart Plugs and Switches. I'll add this. When power is restored after a power outage, many smart plugs/switches return in an "off" state. It would be more helpful if they would return to the programmed state at the time of power restoration (i.e., whatever state the programming has for that day & time of day).


ARE YOU STILL WITH ME? If you read these chapter titles and have not nodded off, I have high hopes you will read the rest of this blog. If, like me, your favorite classes in college were linguistics and grammar, no wonder you are still reading. If they weren't (granted, there are probably 10 of us in the US), I am glad you are hanging in there to hear about a very interesting book that every elementary educator should read: Language at the Speed of Sight, How We Read, Why So Many Can't, And What Can Be Done About It.
Fortunately the author balances the scientific brain content with a large amount of irony and humor. He also debunks many myths and common misconceptions about dyslexia and reading problems in general. One quote that stood out was from the head of a national reading association. One important thing learned from this book is the extreme importance of early diagnosis in reading disorders such as dyslexia.
Our district has a great diagnostic screener in our DIBELS program. Early detention is so much more possible with the focused literacy information DIBELS gives about our students. The PDSA's done to track progress on our SIPPS intervention students also help complete the puzzle of who might be at risk.

PHOTO: The candlelight vigil will salute those whose lives have been impacted by HIV or AIDS.
DES MOINES, Iowa – There's a candlelight vigil tomorrow (Saturday) on the steps of the Capitol as Iowa marks World AIDS Day.
The theme this year is "Working Together for an AIDS-free Generation," and a big part of that effort is screening. Insurance providers are required under the Affordable Care Act to cover annual HIV counseling and screening for sexually active women, as well as screenings for those at a higher risk of contracting the virus.
Kim Lingner is a health educator with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.
"Planned Parenthood is going to play a large role in translating the new requirements. We'll be expanding access to the health care. We are among the leading providers of HIV screenings in the United States, so what we will do is help to get that knowledge and information out to these patients. "
Lingner says with nearly 1,900 Iowans living with HIV or AIDS, now is the time to talk to friends and family about the disease. She encourages everyone to be tested.
"Young people make up about 40 percent of all new infections worldwide. There are also the demographic groups that have disproportionate rates. Latinos will account for one in five new infections. African-American accounts for almost half of all HIV infections and gay and bi-sexual men are about 61 percent of all new infections."
The candlelight vigil will salute those whose lives have been impacted by HIV or AIDS.


A few of years ago, I made my first trip to Aravaipa Canyon. It was everything a modern hiker could hope for– secluded, deep, quiet, and mysterious. I was so taken aback by the place that I have since taken not one, but two trips back. Protected by high walls on both sides, a perennial stream feeds ancient Sycamores at its core, forming a veritable Garden of Eden along the canyon floor. Despite the fact that Aravaipa is the only reliable water source for miles, as far as I can tell its walls have no petroglyphs, there are no ruins, and there is no evidence that native peoples ever settled in the place permanently. And so, every time I've returned to Aravaipa I've been stuck with the the same nagging questions: Who lived here? What kind of life did they have? And, where did they go?
Years later, I finally know the answers to these questions. For that I can thank Paul Andrew Hutton and his masterpiece of a book, The Apache Wars.
Readers here know that this is mostly a hiking blog. However, all hiking blogs are more specific than their source material. Hiking has to happen in places, and places have history. The three, the act of hiking, the place the hike happens, and the history of that place, are inextricable from one another. As much as this blog is about hiking in Arizona, it is also about Arizona itself, its history and its people.
And, in the mountains of Arizona, or Apacheria as the Spanish and Mexicans called it, these people are almost always Apache.
Paul Andrew Hutton's The Apache Wars starts as any book about the Apache Wars should, with the kidnapping of Felix Telles (more well known buy his Apache name, Mickey Free).
Mickey, as he preferred to be called, was kidnapped from his family's ranch along Sonoita Creek in January 1861 by a group of Aravaipa Apaches. Until this time the Americans and Apaches had lived in relative peace with one another (the same could not be said for the Apaches and Mexicans). Unfortunately Mickey's kidnapping was incorrectly blamed on the Chiricahua Apaches, leading to the disastrous Bascom Affair, and a ramping up of hostilities that would not end until Geronimo was trapped in a Florida POW camp some 25 years later.
25 years is a lot of time for one book to cover, and in the hands of a lesser author the story would quickly be swamped by the large cast of characters and enormous geographic space. To avoid this pitfall, Hutton structures the history around Mickey. A given chapter might introduce twenty new characters and five new locales, but, oh look, there's Mickey and we know that guy. All roads lead to Mickey Free.
The problem with such an approach is that it over-emphasizes the importance of Mickey, who, all things considered, is a tangential character. Whether or not Mickey's kidnapping was truly responsible for the events that would follow, this is really the story of Cochise, Clum, Crook, Geronimo, Kid, Lozen, Magnas Coloradas, Miles, Nana, and Victorio. Yes, Mickey had a convenient ability to be in interesting places at interesting times, and yes, many in the Apache community never forgot that his kidnapping was at least partially responsible for kicking off this war of annihilation, but ultimately he is a literary device here, a pair of eyes for European-Americans to see the conflict through. What if I had been the one kidnapped, we are meant to think. It works, but it also distracts from the characters who are interesting in and of themselves.
And what a cast of characters it is: Cochise, the regal warrior chief, Crook, the genius general with an uncanny ability to get captured, Geronimo, the hothead, Kid, the irresistibly likable youngster, Lozen, the mystic, Magnas Coloradas, the betrayed peace advocate, Miles, the backseat driver, Nana, the wise old chief, and Victorio, the impossibly brave warrior. With a group like this you will find someone to relate to, which makes the reliance on Mickey more frustrating. Personally, I couldn't help but see more than a little bit of myself in John Clum.
However, if Hutton spends too much time on Mickey, his unique voice more than makes up for the transgression. He is lyrical without being poetic, cutting without being sarcastic, and pointed without being judgmental. All told, The Apache Wars is the perfect compliment to Hampton Sides Blood and Thunder, which covers roughly same time-period just north of Apacheria.
If I have to pick more nits, I can only think of two. First, the book could have been longer. This is a strange thing for a scientist to say, but interstitial digressions are consistently the best parts Hutton's writing and this book could use more of them. Second, I wish Hutton had dealt with the Did this all really have to happen? question more explicitly, as Dan Carlin did in his great podcast on the topic. When the Americans first came to posses Apaheria the Apaches, largely, offered peace. Through some incredible blunders, like the aforementioned Bascom Affair, the Americans somehow managed to muck the whole thing up. This begs the central question of the period, was there another way? Given some reasonably good leadership (which the Apaches had), could the settled European-Americans and the roving Apaches have found a way to live in peace? Unfortunately, Hutton comes at this question directly rather than obliquely, telling the story as it is rather than wondering what might have been. These are the choices authors have to make when writing books on histories as expansive as this one, but this seems like an opportunity missed that could have been afforded if Hutton had an extra 100 pages to play with.
Fundamentally though, these are just nits to pick and the book does not suffer too greatly for any of them. Far from it. Like all masterpieces The Apache Wars is great due to, not in spite of, its faults. Hutton's obvious admiration for Mickey combined with his devotion to telling the facts as they are, rather than how they could have been, work together to draw the reader in while simultaneously holding on to real historical credibility in a way few books can.
Who lived here? What kind of life did they have? And, where did they go?
Years later, I finally know the answers to these questions. Aravaipa Canyon was once home to a band of Apaches. They were lead by Eskiminzin, a strong but flexible leader who navigated the changes that befell his people with grace. They lived in wikiups along Aravaipa Creek, where they made a (mostly) peaceably living harvesting barely in exchange for protection from the army at nearby Camp Grant. They were brutally murdered, men, women, and children, by a rag tag group of American, Mexican, and Tohono O'odam civilians in what is rightly called a Massacre. Now we know why that place always smells of ghosts.
Read The Apache Wars. You will not regret it.
Want to buy a copy of The Apache Wars? Please consider using THIS LINK. Purchasing through our links to Amazon costs you nothing and helps us keep the lights on.
I will keep this book in my mind (and the link too). I've read more and more non-fiction after moving here and this book sounds interesting for both me and my husband. It's always nice to learn more about the places you've seen.
Great! I promise you'll love it– it looks long but it is an absolute page turner.

Trevor Noah and his 'Daily Show' team offer their legal services to crime-doing soon-to-be ex-president Donald Trump
Daniel Montgomery dan_something
"The Daily Show" made headlines on Wednesday night, August 26, when Trevor Noah commented on Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Then on Thursday the show also took out a full-page ad in the New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times to coincide with the Republican National Convention. Scroll down to see the "Daily Show" team offering their legal services to the "soon-to-be ex-president" who is "about to lose legal immunity."
Trevor Noah and Associates and Sons, presidential attorneys offer to defend their prospective client against charges of "corruption," "mega-corruption," "emoluments" violations ("We know what that is!"), "shady rich guy tax stuff," "obstruction of justice (same price for multiple counts)," "you told people to inject bleach for some reason" and "mail murder." Included in the ad is a phone number, 1-210-WH-CRIME, which directs to a pre-recorded message with a number of prompts.
SEE'The Daily Show' head writer Dan Amira on his Emmy nomination and having to adapt to 'unprecedented circumstances' [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW]
"The Daily Show" usually airs four nights a week, but it has expanded to five nights to cover the Democratic and Republican conventions. These events also coincide with Emmy voting, which started on August 21 and ends on August 28. The show is nominated six times this year including Best Variety Talk Series, Best Variety Series Writing and Best Variety Series Directing. This is the first time the show has been nominated for writing and directing since Trevor Noah took over the anchor chair from Jon Stewart in 2015.
Do you think "The Daily Show" will have a windfall at this year's Emmys? And will Trump take advantage of their legal services? Goodness knows the "Daily Show" team is as qualified to be lawyers as the Trump family is qualified for government.

8 Best Online Learning Sites: Study Online from Anywhere
People often note that the internet is full of information. But when one looks into it, there's often more nuggets of information than goldmines. To be sure, those nuggets of information are important. But it can be hard to find high quality sites to get a more in depth look at various subjects.
However, in the following list we'll examine the best of the best in online study. We'll rank them according to scope, cost and efficiency.
8. Cram
Cram ranks somewhat lower on the list not out of any inherent issues. But instead, it's because of some fundamental differences with other items on this list. Most of the other items focus on educational institutions. Cram is instead an online tool which can help people get the most out of those resources.
Cram's a free system which gives people the ability to make online flashcards. It's usable through web browsers and mobile apps. One can create flashcard sets which operate in a similar way to traditional flashcards. But it's just as easy to use shared flashcards. And there's a wide variety of free sets available from other users.
In fact, there's so many sets available that one can often learn a subject's basics just from the cards. And this is especially true for memorization heavy subjects like new languages or professional vocabulary. This makes it among the best online learning sites to use alongside other sites.
Flashcards can be created in many different languages.
Partnered with the National Tutoring Association.
7. edX
edX is the only fully MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). It can be somewhat difficult to fully understand what a MOOC offers. But one can essentially think of it as a full rethinking of traditional education.
edX works in partnership with a number of universities. They provide resources and often staff. But students don't have to pay in order to access these resources. Most courses are free, if one's only looking for education. It's only when students need testing or certification that fees come into play.
But even then, costs are fairly low. Full certification usually costs around $50 to $300. The exact cost varies by each individual course. This pricing system makes it among the best online learning sites for free access. The main points include the following.
The only true MOOC.
University tier resources.
Allows for free self guided study.
6. Open Culture
Open Culture puts a heavy emphasis on lectures. They have over 45,000 hours of audio and video lectures available for free. This makes it among the best online learning sites for people who learn best by listening.
And it's also among the best online learning sites for people who like to browse. Their free content currently sits at over 1,300 courses. However, this is also part of why it sits somewhat low on the list.
Open Culture is an ideal choice for self guided learners who get the most out of a lecture style format. However, this self guided style doesn't appeal to everyone. As such, one should consider it a little higher or lower depending on personal learning style. Open Culture's highlights are as follows.
Lecture focused format.
Over 1,300 courses.
5. Lynda
Many of the listed options help students achieve professional success. But Lynda puts special emphasis on professional growth. In fact, Lynda has heavy ties with LinkedIn. So one can be sure that courses will help build up a professional resume or portfolio.
However, one shouldn't assume that courses are all centered around computer science. Lynda has one of the more varied listings out of any option. Computer science is an option. But so are animation, marketing, photography and many other subjects.
Additionally, it uses a membership payment plan. One can begin with a 30 day free trial. From there, it costs $20 to $30 per month. The exact cost depends on whether one goes for a basic or premium membership. Lynda's top features include the following.
Focused on professional advancement.
Includes both arts and sciences.
Free trial and low monthly payment plan.
4. Udacity
Udacity sits among the more focuses options on this list. They do have a fairly broad range of courses available. But the vast majority of their options put heavy focus on technology. And they put heavy emphasis on various subjects related to computer science. For example, they offer specialized courses in almost all programming languages.
It's among the best online learning sites for people interested in the computer industry. And they've even branched out with freelancing opportunities for students. This makes it the only listing where students have a chance of making money while taking classes. Though on average a course should cost around $50. The following bullet points illustrate their strengths.
Heavy emphasis on computer science.
Freelancing opportunities.
Average cost of $50.
3. MIT OpenCourseware
MIT OpenCourseWare provides some impressive resources. A large amount of OpenCourseWare comes directly from professors at MIT. These include luminaries in any number of fields. But the system has a particular emphasis on computer science and technology.
However, it ranks a little lower on the list due to that specialization. One should rank it higher or lower depending on specific interests. However, it's among the best online learning sites for students interested in technology. The courses strengths are as follows.
Full backing from MIT educators.
A wealth of information on science and technology.
2. Udemy
Udemy comes very close to a top listing. The site currently offers over 55,000 courses. And that number continues to grow at a steady pace.
But even more notable than the numbers is Udemy's variety. They have classes in almost anything one could imagine. From standard technical or scientific issues all the way to animal behavior studies.
Many of these courses feature a tiered system. This means that students can take a course and then decide if they want to push to the next level. If so, students can often find more advanced secondary courses. Finally, Udemy's courses are quite inexpensive. The average course only costs $12. Their most notable features are as follows.
Over 55,000 courses.
Tiered learning structure.
Average course price of $12.
1. Coursera
Coursera easily wins the title of best of the best. In large part because it perfects so many items from the other best online learning sites.
For example, some of the items on this list feature full university collaboration. All of them have a lot to offer. But Coursera has perfected the idea. They're currently partnered with over 140 academic institutions. And this includes some of the world's most prestigious universities.
Those numbers show in available courses as well. Coursera offers 2,000 courses. And users can take them anywhere thanks to mobile app support. Finally, course prices usually sit at around $49. Their most notable features include the following.
Heavy academic backing.
Wide course selection.
Relatively inexpensive.
It should be clear that there's a lot to consider when choosing between these options. However, at the same time one can look at it as an opportunity. Each of the choices highlights one or more learning styles. By going over the options one can gain a moment of reflection.
The same goes for discussing these options with other readers. Sharing one's thoughts and experiences helps in many different ways. People get a chance to help others and themselves.

Control options exist for multiflora rose
By Kassidy Buse
Photo credit: Lauren Odenkirk, The Ohio State University
Aggressively growing and eventually blooming in late May or early June, multiflora rose is a weed that plagues many pastures. But through a variety of possible tactics, this meddlesome weed can be controlled.
Dwight Lingenfelter, a weed science extension specialist at Penn State University, recently provided some control options in Penn State Extension's Field Crop News.
Two mechanical control methods often imposed are mowing and excavating.
Multiple mowings per season are required over several years to weaken and kill plants. Excavating involves heavy equipment used to pull individual plants from the soil. Both options are time consuming and can be costly.
Biological controls are also successfully being used to kill or temper the impact of multiflora rose. The utilization of rose rosette disease (RRD) or grazing animals fall into this category.
RRD is a virus that is slowly spreading across the northeastern United States. It kills infected plants within two years.
Using sheep and goats can also be an effective tool, if properly managed.
"Research has shown that eight to 10 goats and/or sheep pastured with compatible livestock such as cattle can help reduce multiflora rose and other brushy infestations," says Lingenfelter.
There are also several herbicides that are effective on multiflora rose, especially when they are applied during the bud to bloom growth stages.
The three foliar applied herbicides that Lingenfelter suggests are metsulfuron, Crossbow, and glyphosate.
"Glyphosate has been more effective in Penn State research when applied in the fall," says Lingenfelter. "Products like Milestone and ForeFront generally are not as effective on multiflora rose while 2,4-D and dicamba are not effective," he adds.
Metsulfuron, which is sold as a generic or as Cimarron Plus, can be used as a broadcast or spot treatment.
For best results with broadcast treatments, apply the product at a rate of 1 ounce per acre along with a surfactant. For spot treatments, use 1 ounce of product for every 100 gallons of water plus surfactant.
Make applications in the spring after plants are fully leafed out but less than 3 feet tall. There is no grazing interval following an application.
Crossbow can also be used as a broadcast or spot treatment.
For broadcast application, use 1.5 to 4 gallons of Crossbow with enough water to deliver 10 to 30 gallons of spray per acre. For spot treatments, use 4 to 6 fluid ounces of product for every 3 gallons of water and spray until foliage is wet.
"Early to mid-June is an excellent time to make these applications," says Lingenfelter. "Follow-up treatment may be necessary."
A waiting period of 14 days is required for lactating dairy cattle if 2 gallons per acre or less is used.
Glyphosate can be used as a spot treatment on isolated patches of multiflora rose.
Apply a 1 percent solution, which is about 1 quart of product with 25 gallons of water, with a hand-held sprayer. Thoroughly wet leaves and stems but avoid runoff.
Make applications when plants are growing in late summer or early fall. A seven-day waiting period is required for grazing animals
"No matter which control tactic is used, follow-up maintenance practices are a must for long-term control," advises Lingenfelter.
He also recommends removing dead brush, annual mowing, and maintaining adequate soil fertility as good practices to retain control of multiflora rose and encourage pasture growth.

With French Kusina, the cookbook he launched last week (published by Anvil Food), he wants Filipinos to see French food as the kind of guy they can take home and cuddle, not as the intimidating guy who'll wince when he sees the palengke-bought tomatoes in your kitchen.
"Sometimes, it's better to achieve something in a foreign country where no one knows you. I'm more proud to do this here because I know I'm not the son of, or the friend of, or because my parents have this and that, but because some people trusted my talent or my knowledge. Plus I hate paying taxes in France. It's 60 percent of your income, it's crazy," he says, laughing.
He wants Filipinos to see French food as the kind of guy they can take home and cuddle, not as the intimidating guy who'll wince when he sees the palengke-bought tomatoes in your kitchen.
French Kusina is available at National Bookstore and online at the Anvil Publishing website.
When that hairy chest does work out for him, Chef Xavier likes to sweeten the seduction with this recipe, pulled from his latest cookbook, French Kusina. "It's a winner and very sensual to eat," he says. Although the way the chef pronounces "strawberry" is already a satisfying experience.
Rinse strawberries under running water. Remove the green cap and stem with a paring knife. Cut the strawberries in thick slices. Place in a bowl, pour your sugar in followed by the wine. Stir well. Cover with aluminum foil and leave in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Tip: There is no need to use a sweet wine—a red dry wine is better! French Cabernet is perfect!


If China is the sixth greatest tire supplier in the world, then we can easily understand why, from Nankang's point of view, producing tires is almost a question of honour. Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation is created in 1959 in China, but it rapidly moves its headquarters to Taiwan, thus becoming the first tire constructer in this country. In time, the brand built itself a strong reputation: resistant, ultra safe and silent tires that transform driving into pure pleasure. But so much moderation would be boring, so, as every tire that has a story, the Nankang has its own secrets. For years now, the technological development departments in Nankang have been searching for solutions to raise the speed potential of their tires. Once equipped with Nankang tires, any car, no matter the brand or the size, acquires an aggressive grip road and increases its speed capacities. To make it even easier, the Chinese engineers also enriched their tires with a good resistance to high temperatures.

Follow Izzii Grace
Tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, I'm Izzii Grace and I'm a sort of Singer/Songwriter. I tend to dip between styles, but I really love RnB and soul. Fully inspired by Tamia and Amy Winehouse.
There are a lot of emerging Artists in the UK right now. What sets you apart from the rest?
Musically- used to write music with my acoustic guitar, because... that's what everyone did. Now what I like to do is involve vocal throws into my music and add a mix of RnB and soul with this. But I guess, overall I don't look like a star... I like to be a bit average. I'm not aiming for stardom, just a good living that involves music. I guess that's whats set me apart, I want something more than just keeping music to myself!!
What's you back-story?
Most of my tracks I tend to have real stories, not always mine but people I adore who have a story to tell. I like to be honest in my music. The track When I'm Lonely has quite a heartbreaking story behind it, you wouldn't really tell from the lyrics and I'm not ready to be so honest about that song yet.
What are you working on at the moment?
I'm currently working on my first EP, I've finally gotten a band together for this current music. Finishing off songs and just heading to recording... Then gigging all this for your ears.
What's the first song you remember hearing?
The first song I remember hearing. I've heard a few... I remember the moment I first heard Ka-Ching by Shania Twain, my dad always had her CD in the car and this song always just spoke to me. I still listen to it now and feel the same way, it's an honest song and you should give it a listen.
You're in a Karaoke Bar - What's your go to song?
Well it depends what mood I'm in but more often than not Beyonce, she is up the for me and I get so involved when I sing Irreplaceable... Although me and my co-writer (Amber!) attempted Bruno Mars the other week, it was hilarious.
What was the first gig you went to?
The first ever gig I went to was Paramore, in 2013 and myself and my brother queued for 12 hours outside Wembley waiting to get right to the front... and we did!
Which song do you wish you'd written?
I wish I was apart of writing Bohemian Rhapsody, but that is such a holy song. Like even just listening to it gives me chills!
Which song changed your life?
There's two, first song was definitely Misery Business by Paramore. That song made me feel so cool and empowered... especially when headbanging in my room. Next was Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, I would sing along to the song in front of my living room mirror, pretending to be on stage!
Which song would you like played at your funeral?
I feel I should have a slow song that really represents the mood, but I think I wouldn't like to pick. I'd like a select few people to choose songs that they listen to and they think of me, I'd want that.
What song is stuck in your head right now?
The song by Pitbull, Hotel... my housemates were just singing it.
What was the first Album you bought?
I can't remember the first album I bought, I think it must have been a paramore album.
Which song made you want to play music?
Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

Jordi Tixier didn't leave KTM as much as he was asked to leave.
other teams. What's the real story?
In Ken Roczen's case, it came down to money. KTM had a "right of first refusal" on any contract that Kenny signed for 2015. All they had to do was match the amount. Unfortunately for KTM, and fortunately for Kenny's bank account, RCH Suzuki offered him so much money that KTM couldn't make their books balance with the figure that Suzuki quoted. So, KTM let him go. Teams have budgets. RCH was willing to bust theirs and KTM was not.

Q: How to call preserve quotes when passing arguments? I have a piece of code that looks like this. The real code is of course much longer. I have shortened it to condense it to the idea.
#!/usr/bin/python

from sys import argv

class Base():
    def whoami(self):
        print(self.__class__.__name__)

    def foo(self, a, b):
        print(a+b)

class A(Base):
    def bar(self, a):
        print(a)

class B(Base):
    def fizz(self, a, b):
        print(a+b)

def main():
    eval(argv[1] + '().' + argv[2] + '(' + ', '.join(argv[3:]) + ')')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Expected output:
$ ./myScript.py A whoami
A
$ ./myScript.py B fizz 5 7
12
$ ./myScript.py B fizz '5' '7'
57

But the actual output for the last line is:
$ ./myScript.py B fizz '5' '7'
12

The quotes does not get passed. My goal is to be able to call the various class methods easily from command line for debugging. I don't know if my approach is wrong from the beginning.
And yes, I'm aware of security risks with eval. I intend to remove it when the code goes into production.

A:
The quotes does not get passed. My goal is to be able to call the various class methods easily from command line for debugging.

The quotes are not part of the parameters you used. The quotes are interpreted by the shell. Usually quotes are used to add spaces to a parameter.
For example:
command foo bar

will pass two parameters (foo and bar) to the command, but if you want to add spaces, you can use:
command 'foo bar'

Now the shell will interpret this as a single parameter, with a space.
You can however add quotes in your parameters, like:
command '"foo"' '"bar"'

or:
command "'foo'" "'bar'"

to pass values with quotes (double quotes " in the first example and single quotes ' in the second one) to the command. You can escape parts of the parameters as well, like command "\"Thank you\", she said.", and thus use double quotes and single quotes in the same parameter.
That being said, please do not use eval(..) to evaluate strings. eval(..) has severe security risks, see Security of Python's eval() on untrusted strings? for more information. You can use ast.literal_eval [python-doc] to evaluate literals. Furthermore you can use a dictionary, etc. to route the call to the correct function(s).

With medical and recreational marijuana legalization sweeping the west coast and infiltrating all corners of the U.S., attention is turning toward career opportunities in the cannabis industry. San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs are literally popping up everywhere.
Many individuals feel that a marijuana dispensary is the perfect place to work, but don't have an extensive background on what job opportunities exist or how to go about acquiring San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs at their dispensary of choice. It helps first and foremost to gain a good understanding of what the most common job positions are and the daily tasks they involve, as well as what qualities employers seek in potential applicants.
Before detailing San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs, let's break down what a dispensary is, debunking any myths or misnomers regarding the businesses. Marijuana dispensaries, also referred to as collectives or cannabis clubs, are state and municipally regulated retail establishments for medical and/or recreational marijuana sale. Dispensaries sell for personal use and can only distribute a limited number of ounces of marijuana flower and concentrations of other products like hash oil and edibles.
According to Wikipedia, marijuana dispensaries are modeled after "cannabis cafe's" in Amsterdam from the 1970's. Today in states where medical and/or recreational cannabis is legal, dispensaries guide patients (or their caregivers) and rec. consumers through the process of selecting and purchasing cannabis products and paraphernalia. Though strictly regulated, dispensaries are independent businesses that allow for private capital gain of owners and shareholders.
There are significant differences in legislation between medical and recreational dispensaries and each state varies in its laws, yet the experience of visiting any dispensary is fairly congruent from one shop to the next, given a knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Sites like Leafly and Weedmaps use their location based services to compile dispensaries in any given area, categorizing them to make the process easier for both medical patients and recreational consumers.
What Marijuana Dispensary Jobs Are There?
Odds are, more dispensary job seekers are at least familiar with the responsibilities of the positions they're applying for, but it's important to recognize why each role exists and how it can contribute to the success (or failure) of the business.
"Budtending" is swiftly becoming commonplace in mainstream rhetoric, referring to the much sought after position of selling marijuana products to consumers. As such, budtenders are the smile of the cannabis industry and play a necessary role in the marijuana supply/demand chain. While it might be common knowledge that a budtender is responsible for supplying customers and processing transactions, few are aware of just how important this job is for medical and recreational customers alike.
As this position is predominantly service based, budtenders must be knowledgeable about cannabis and confident in customer service. Not only should the budtender have extensive knowledge and experience concerning a wide variety of cannabis products and paraphernalia, they should also be familiar with individual marijuana strains, in order to suggest the correct medicine or product to suit the needs of their patients and customers.
A successful budtender is able to walk the novice customer and the experienced stoner through an array of options, answering any questions or concerns along the way, or referring customers to their supervisor if they are unsure. Budtending is involved work and requires energy and legitimate enthusiasm. A great budtender is just as much of a reason to make frequent visits to a dispensary as an unhelpful budtender is to never return again.
Aside from direct customer responsibilities, Budtenders maintain shop and display cleanliness, restocking and pre-rolling joints. Some dispensaries require budtenders to update online menus and social media accounts and roll "pre-rolled" joints. Other tasks may be assigned to budtenders by supervisors as needed.
Compensation for entry-level budtending jobs can range anywhere from minimum wage to around fifteen dollars per hour plus tips. Opportunities for raises and promotion is often available based on level of experience and consistency in performance.
A receptionist is most likely the first employee you'll see at a San Francisco dispensary. Receptionist San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs require all the necessary qualifications of working any similar administrative position with the added responsibility of being familiar with all government regulations surrounding California and San Francisco state and municipal cannabis legislation.
Receptionists greet customers and help them through the process of getting checked in. This includes processing all forms of ID and medical cards, while maintaining organized online files. Data entry is a necessary aspect of this position, requiring employees to efficiently convey and record messages and other information.
Receptionists are responsible for communicating professionally in person, over the phone and via email. Receptionists must have to field a diverse array of questions and relay specific inquiries to their supervisors and managers, as well queue patients and customers in the waiting room until it is their turn to be helped.
Having a background working with word processors and spreadsheets is useful, as well as experience with different online office and organization tools.
How Much Do Marijuana Dispensary Receptionists Make?
Like budtending, reception positions start at minimum wage and increase from there.
Dispensary managers are key players in elevating a shop from good to great. Managers wear many hats as reflected in their daily tasks. Not only do managers interact directly with customers, they also are responsible for hiring, training, leading and scheduling a group of subordinates. Managers must be able to step in to support their employees and customers in order to keep harmony in the dispensary and provide the best service possible.
Managers also play a role in inventory and ordering, and be extremely knowledgeable about all things cannabis related. Especially if the dispensary owner is not present, managers must be the authority on all the products and services the store offers.
Unlike budtending or reception, dispensary management is not an entry level position. A background in management/supervision and experience in the marijuana industry is essential. Some San Francisco dispensaries choose to promote from within, encouraging a dedicated, long term group of employees.
How Much Do Marijuana Dispensary Managers Make?
Manager compensation can be competitive as this position can be the make or break for a dispensary. Since it requires some experience to be considered for this position, there may be opportunity for wage negotiation.
Owning a San Francisco marijuana dispensary, is an extensive and ultimately, beneficial process. Out of all San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs, this position offers the highest possible economic gain, it offers potentially the greatest personal loss as well. Owning any business is a tough endeavor, not to mention owning a marijuana dispensary which is a field entrenched in politics and regulation. Feel free to visit ca.gov for more information on starting a business.
With so much room for growth, confident dispensary owners are willing to take a risk with hopes of capitalizing off a highly desired product. While many people with sufficient capital could potentially open a dispensary, it is mainly those with experience in the marijuana business, as well as a keen business savvy, that succeed among the competition.
How Much Do Marijuana Dispensary Owners Make?
Payout for dispensary owners ranges dramatically, but you get out what you put in!
While the above positions represent the most common that you'll find in any given dispensary, there are additional careers in security, social media and marketing and delivery, among others!
San Francisco Marijuana Dispensary Jobs: What Now?
To find out more about San Francisco marijuana dispensary jobs, continue to do research online and in person! Talk to your local budtender or receptionist–ask them what it's like working for a dispensary. They might even give you tips for when you decide to apply. Keep up with current regulations and knowledge of marijuana products and strains. The only way to know if you're qualified is to apply!

Q: Play a Video from MemoryStream, Using FFMpeg I'm having a hard time, searching how to play a video file from a TMemoryStream (or a similar buffer in memory) using FFMpeg. I've seen many things, including UltraStarDX, expensive FFMpeg components for Delphi and so on.
One component called FFMpeg Vcl Player claims to play video formats from a memory stream. I downloaded the trial version and I guess it uses CircularBuffer.pas for that matter (maybe).
Does any one know how to do this?
Edit:
Now the better question is how to play an encrypted video file, using FFMpeg or similar libraries.

A: To play video from memory stream, you can use custom AVIOContext.
static const int kBufferSize = 4 * 1024;

class my_iocontext_private
{
private:
    my_iocontext_private(my_iocontext_private const &);
    my_iocontext_private& operator = (my_iocontext_private const &);

public:
    my_iocontext_private(IInputStreamPtr inputStream)
       : inputStream_(inputStream)
       , buffer_size_(kBufferSize)
       , buffer_(static_cast<unsigned char*>(::av_malloc(buffer_size_))) {
    ctx_ = ::avio_alloc_context(buffer_, buffer_size_, 0, this,
           &my_iocontext_private::read, NULL, &my_iocontext_private::seek);
    }

    ~my_iocontext_private() {
        ::av_free(ctx_);
        ::av_free(buffer_);
    }

    void reset_inner_context() { ctx_ = NULL; buffer_ = NULL; }

    static int read(void *opaque, unsigned char *buf, int buf_size) {
        my_iocontext_private* h = static_cast<my_iocontext_private*>(opaque);
        return h->inputStream_->Read(buf, buf_size);
    }

    static int64_t seek(void *opaque, int64_t offset, int whence) {
        my_iocontext_private* h = static_cast<my_iocontext_private*>(opaque);

        if (0x10000 == whence)
            return h->inputStream_->Size();

        return h->inputStream_->Seek(offset, whence);
    }

    ::AVIOContext *get_avio() { return ctx_; }

    private:
       IInputStreamPtr inputStream_; // abstract stream interface, You can adapt it to TMemoryStream
       int buffer_size_;
       unsigned char * buffer_;
       ::AVIOContext * ctx_;
   };

   //// ..........

   /// prepare input stream:
   IInputStreamPtr inputStream = MyCustomCreateInputStreamFromMemory();

   my_iocontext_private priv_ctx(inputStream);
   AVFormatContext * ctx = ::avformat_alloc_context();
   ctx->pb = priv_ctx.get_avio();

   int err = avformat_open_input(&ctx, "arbitrarytext", NULL, NULL);
   if (err < 0)
       return -1;

   //// normal usage of ctx
   //// avformat_find_stream_info(ctx, NULL);
   //// av_read_frame(ctx, &pkt);
   //// etc..

A: You can waste your time rewriting FFMPEG from C++ to Delphi, or mess with wrapper libraries.
Or if you're just interested in playing a video in Delphi, then check out Mitov's VideoLab components.
http://www.mitov.com/products/videolab#components

A: If you want play Stream from memory you can make a virtual memory. I suggest BoxedAppSdk.
This will help you to make a virtual drive with virtual files that you can write on it and then give the virtual path to the player component that you have.
BoxedApp is not free but it is really awesome and very simple in use!
