Nestled between the wonder of the aurora borealis and the rugged nature of the northern frontier, our little brewing outpost is one of a kind.
Located in the spirited town of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories we are the northernmost brewpub in Canada.
Owned and operated by Fletcher & Miranda Stevens, The NWT Brewing Company opened its doors in November of 2015 along with their brewpub The Woodyard Brewhouse & Eatery located under the same roof in the historic Old Town.
Fletcher Stevens has lived in Yellowknife most of his entire adult life, building a career as a journeyman mechanic until he discovered his love for craft beer.
A homebrew kit purchased by his wife Miranda as a Christmas gift soon turned a hobby into an obsession. It wasn't long before Fletcher's beer was getting rave reviews from friends and family but he needed a little more confidence before diving head first into his next big venture (of course, pending Miranda's approval). After medaling at several Canada-wide home-brew competitions in 2012, Fletcher was ready to take on a new career path confidently and with the reassurance he needed that his beer would sell.
In January 2014, Fletcher and Miranda quit their fulltime jobs to become business owners. With Fletcher as Brewmaster and Miranda as General Manager, the two make-up the heart of NWT Brewing Company and Woodyard Brewhouse and Eatery. The two paved their way through an untapped industry in the far North that posed many challenges but alas, local beer was eventually flowing in Yellowknife.
Within the first year of operation, their crowd-pleasing beer, Kicksled Cream Ale, won a bronze medal at the Canadian Brewing awards landing the NWT on the Canadian beer map. The Woodyard Brewhouse & Eatery has not only become a pillar in the Yellowknife community but was named one of the top 50 bars in Canada in 2018.
In 2022 following a long pandemic, the team successfully expanded the brewery operations into a new larger brewing facility down the road from the Brewpub with the hopes of tapping into new markets. Stay tuned!

Q: How can I find out a files "mime-type(Content-Type?)"? on Windows Is there a way to find out the MIME-TYPE (or is it called "Content-Type"...) of a file in windows batch/PowerShell?

A: Use File from source or you can get win32 binaries from here
Example from empty file:
COPY NUL >test.ext && "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\file" −-mime-type test.ext

Which will return this:
test.ext; text/plain

Update:
Also -b or --brief do not prepend filenames to output lines
file -b −-mime-type test.ext return only the mime-type: text/plain
Type file --help for more options
Note: The sources are much more recent than the executable file kindly made available to us by GnuWin32.

A: While not directly in the Windows command prompt, a more modern approach is to use Git for Windows. Once installed, run git-bash and the command file path\to\file. An example output might be:
TestFile.ico: MS Windows icon resource - 1 icon, 128x128, 32 bits/pixel

Alternatively, use the command file -i path\to\file which might give:
TestFile.ico: image/vnd.microsoft.icon; charset=binary

Q: How would I write the Lodash function orderBy in VanillaJS? I see a lot of translations from LoDash to Vanilla JS for the lodash function sortBy(). However, I don't see any for orderBy. How can that function be written in standard Javascript?

A: This solution seems to approximate the same functionality:
function sortBy (key, cb) {
  if (!cb) cb = () => 0
  return (a, b) => (a[key] > b[key]) ? 1
    : ((b[key] > a[key]) ? -1 : cb(a, b))
}

function sortByDesc (key, cb) {
  if (!cb) cb = () => 0
  return (b, a) => (a[key] > b[key]) ? 1
    : ((b[key] > a[key]) ? -1 : cb(b, a))
}

function orderBy (keys, orders) {
  let cb = () => 0
  keys.reverse()
  orders.reverse()
  for (const [i, key] of keys.entries()) {
    const order = orders[i]
    if (order == 'asc') {
      cb = sortBy(key, cb)
    } else if (order == 'desc') {
      cb = sortByDesc(key, cb)
    } else {
      throw new Error(`Unsupported order "${order}"`)
    }
  }
  return cb
}

// usage:
users.sort( orderBy( ['user', 'age'], ['asc', 'desc'] ) );

Cloud ERP can be running in a fraction of the time of on-premises ERP, which makes it tempting to skip the careful early planning that can make business processes more efficient.
Everyone is doing it, or at least thinking about doing it -- migrating to cloud-based ERP software, that is. According to preliminary survey results from market research firm Mint Jutras, 67% of respondents from manufacturing, distribution and service companies of all sizes said they would consider cloud software-as-a-service ERP as an option for a new deployment. And more than half -- 51% -- said SaaS ERP was their first choice.
But moving your enterprise applications to the cloud doesn't automatically simplify ERP, especially in the case of a hybrid cloud and on-premises architecture, which is an increasingly common setup. Simplicity can be deceptive.
Cindy Jutras, president of Mint Jutras, based in Windham, N.H., recently heard a manufacturer lament a whirlwind six-week implementation of cloud-based ERP software that ended with problems. "He said, 'We did it too fast. We didn't understand all that we were doing.' You can't just jump in blindly," Jutras cautioned.
The cloud equivalent of "slamming in" a system, such ultra-fast migrations don't allow time to evaluate business processes to see what could be done better under the new system. A shortened time frame also does not leave time for other critical project steps, including gathering requirements and ensuring user buy-in.
The truth is, preparing for a migration to cloud-based ERP software is very much like preparing for an on-premises ERP implementation. As much as some people may not want to hear it, the prep work is very much the same, according to Frank Scavo, president of Strativa Inc., a management consulting firm based in Irvine, Calif.
"You don't have to size and buy hardware. Otherwise, the steps for implementation are the same," Scavo said. The most important preparatory step, he added, is to map business processes via storyboarding or some other visual tool to identify where improvements are needed and can be implemented in the cloud system.
"It is likely that your current business processes were constrained by the [on-premises] system you use now," he said. "Cloud is more flexible and enables more advanced ways of doing things." Making sure you understand all the advanced capabilities of the new system is an important step.
Mint Jutras found a strong preference for software-as-a-service ERP over hosted and on-premises ERP.
Most companies need to do significant process improvement before, during and after implementing cloud-based ERP software, just as they would with any ERP rollout, he added. Business process re-engineering can be painful and time-consuming, but if you skip it, you'll lose out on the biggest benefits of the cloud application. Many companies move to the cloud without understanding what the new system makes possible.
Even at the early planning stages, you'll need to keep an eye on the future, Jutras said. You want to make sure you implement cloud capabilities that provide maximum flexibility. Ideally, the cloud platform will enable easy integration with add-in capabilities from third parties, should you need them. Work with the cloud provider to identify possible integration points.
"Agility is very important," Jutras said. "All you know about tomorrow is that it will be different: [It] could be a little different, could be a lot different." Your products, services, clients, industry and even business model all may change down the road. You want to ensure you are not casting your processes in concrete.
Shoring up data quality and defining relevant terminology across data systems -- master data management -- are two activities that should always precede a move to cloud-based ERP software. Here, too, many organizations might prefer not to give them their full attention. "If you don't do them, your implementation will fail," Scavo said.
When it comes to selecting which processes and data to move first, a good rule of thumb, Jutras said, is to pick areas that would experience quick improvement -- the proverbial low-hanging fruit. For example, if operations are suffering due to a bad warehouse management system or manual warehouse processes, that would be a likely place to begin.
"Look for where you can get the most value with the least disruption to your business," Jutras said. The temptation is to address longstanding pain points, but those tend to be complex. A modular approach can work well, she added, using your business objectives to guide the order of functions to move to the cloud.
How much planning went into your deployment of cloud-based ERP software?
There are practical lessons to learn before adopting a cloud manufacturing ERP system and choosing from among the many cloud options, which include private, public and hybrid.
'Cloud' is such a marketing buzzword that it can obscure the type of infrastructure you'll get with a new ERP system. Here's a primer on the different types of cloud computing.
More manufacturers are choosing a mix of cloud providers and on-premises systems. A hybrid cloud model can provide the full range of ERP functions.

Additive Manufacturing: Selective Laser Melting and 5-axis milling to provide mechanical retention and maximum space and support for resin and esthetics.
Instead of using angled abutments, keep the structure low profile and control where the placement of screw access holes with PRISM 24° Angled Access Channels.
Image "A" shows access hole in undesirable functional and esthetic position–while Image "B" shows a more preferable result without utilizing space taking angled abutments.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) and CNC milling are both viable technologies to manufacture high-end implant bars. Depending on individual implant bar assignments, you decide which technology is most suited for the bar suprastructure at hand.
We recommend fixed structures are milled to take advantage of AM technology, while bars with attachments may be fabricated using either technology.
Either way, we streamline the implant bar design with esthetic transitions and polish finishes, offering a perfect fit for the patient and maximum space for the dental technician to finish the final prosthesis.
The unlimited geometric freedom of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies is combined with the accuracy of CNC controlled machining to produce an excellent passive fit, without the shape limitations imposed with CNC milling technology.
Undercuts, honeycombs, and various surface finishes are used to provide superior mechanical retention to dental polymers. AM technology provides for both macro and micro retentions.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) laser-based technology sequentially builds up thin Titanium layers bottom up. This explains the unlimited design freedom that is associated with our proprietary AM technology. The full freedom in form and function allows dental technicians to design the most sophisticated implant bridges, including highly complex surface retentions and individual emergence profiles.
The layered AM approach allows for designing individual emergence profiles on each of the implant connections, perfectly following the patient's gingival profile. This results in an aesthetic solution, since no metal will be visible in the mouth of the patient. Moreover, it improves the long-term functionality because the prosthetic material is actually enclosed in the small gap formed by the SealWise edge. This avoids the occurrence of micro gaps or chipping of the prosthetic material around the implant connection. This also allows the Dental Team to "reline" the prosthesis to compensate for loss of bone and supportive tissue.


In today's society, snoring is often treated as a joke. The husband (in most cases) sleeps contentedly and snores like an asthmatic chainsaw, while his wife tosses and turns, her sleep disrupted by her noisy spouse. The fact is that these films, TV shows and comic strips fail to portray that snoring can often be a symptom of much more dangerous health problems, and can lead to other serious issues. For patients with snoring problems, and the partners who try to sleep alongside them, "Nose Jobs" are not just for cosmetic purposes any more. Dr. Slupchynskyj's Corrective Nasal Valve Collapse Surgery can improve a patient's quality of life, allowing for everyone to have sweet dreams and optimal nasal function.
Snoring occurs when air passages are obstructed or narrowed, which inhibits our ability to take deep, full breaths during sleep. Several factors, including age, weight and gender, can contribute to snoring. For instance, as we age, we lose muscle tone in the throat, which leads to a narrowing of the air passages. Also, men snore more frequently than women, due to having narrower air passages. Since narrower passages become blocked more easily, men are more likely to snore than women.
One of the major causes of snoring is obstruction in the airways. In some cases, this congestion can arise from nasal congestion or sinus infections. Many over-the-counter medications are available as remedies for these situations. A more serious type of nasal obstruction can occur when the nose is not shaped properly to allow for adequate airflow. These obstructions, reviewed below, can contribute to other health problems and may require Nasal Surgery to correct them.
When obstructions or structural deficiencies in the nose cause snoring, they can also lead to Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea occurs when the airways are closed off during sleep. The lack of oxygen can cause severe stress on the heart, lungs, and brain, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Also, patients who do not get enough sleep due to snoring also experience more sleepy feelings during the day. The lack of sleep can contribute to mental disorders such as depression, memory loss and lack of concentration.
The narrowest part of the nostril passage, known as the nasal valve, acts as the entry point for air traveling from the nose to the lungs. When these valves are blocked at the nostril opening, the condition is called an "External Nasal Valve Collapse." When the blockage occurs within the nostril, this is called an "Internal Nasal Valve Collapse" A simple method for checking on whether a Nasal Valve Collapse has occurred is to pull the cheek away from the nose on the affected side, a move known as the "Cottle maneuver." If the airflow through the nose improves after the Cottle maneuver, the patient likely has a collapsed nasal valve.
As part of the aging process, the cartilage that forms the sidewalls of the nose can lose structural integrity. The loss of cartilage often results in the tip of the nose descending past the base, which can obstruct the air passages and cause an external valve collapse. Also, the sidewalls can experience trauma from a blow, and accident, or from surgery that can result in a weakening of the sidewalls and an internal valve collapse.
A surgical procedure to correct a Nasal Valve Collapse can both relieve snoring and give the nose a more appealing shape. Dr. Slupchynskyj will often choose which procedure the patient will undergo based on the structure of the nose, the nature of the valve collapse, and several other factors. One of those options is an alar batten graft, a procedure where a piece of cartilage from the nose or ear reinforces the air passageway.
Along with the sidewalls of the nose, the cartilage that forms the wall between the nostrils is also vital for maintaining efficient airflow and preventing snoring. When that dividing wall (called the "Septum") becomes crooked or off-center, the air does not flow smoothly through the nostrils. Although up to 80 percent of the population has a Septum that is not completely straight, patients with the most severe problems are said to have a "Deviated Septum." A Deviated Septum can also lead to congestion, nosebleeds, headaches and sinus infections.
In rare cases, an infant can be born with a Deviated Septum, either through a genetic anomaly or by compression on the nose during childbirth. The Septum can also change shape during adolescent growth spurts or as part of the aging process as the nasal cartilage loses its strength. In most instances, the Septum is knocked off-center due to injury, such as from contact sports or accidental collision.
Reconstructive surgery on the Septum is called "Septoplasty." Dr. Slupchynskyj will initially examine the interior of the nostrils with an endoscope to determine the severity of the deviation and the best way to proceed with the surgery. The operation typically takes an hour to an hour and a half, with the patient receiving either Local Anesthesia or twilight sedation.
Septoplasty Surgery involves making accessing the soft tissue lining the nose (also called "mucosa") and separating the lining from the inner layer of bone and cartilage. The Septum then needs to be straightened and realigned.
Inside the nose, a set of structures filter, warm up, and humidify the air as it flows through the nostrils and into the lungs. These bony structures (called "Turbinates") come in sets of three: inferior, middle and superior. Despite the names, the Inferior Turbinate is the largest of the three, with the superior being the smallest. When these tissues become enlarged, it can lead to a condition known as "Turbinate Hypertrophy." The swelling and infection of the Turbinates can also contribute to snoring and other breathing problems.
When a patient experiences a sinus infection or nasal congestion, the Turbinates can become swollen and irritated. These problems can stem from an upper respiratory infection (such as the "common cold"), flu symptoms or allergies. Users of some prescription medications have also reported experiencing Turbinate Hypertrophy as a side effect.
When the use of over-the-counter medications or other treatments does not return the Turbinates to their original size, the patient may consider a surgical procedure to correct the problem. Dr. Slupchynskyj can perform a Turbinoplasty procedure, often in conjunction with a Septoplasty. In some instances, Dr. Slupchynskyj will remove a portion of the inferior Turbinate bone to relieve congestion. In milder cases, the operation involves removing some of the tissue under the protective mucosa layer. This procedure removes the obstruction while preserving the blood vessels that humidify and heat the air.
Patients can often experience the growth of soft, benign tumors inside the sinuses and nasal cavities. These tumors, or Nasal Polyps, hang down from the roof of the sinuses like stalactites from the ceilings of caves. Nasal Polyps are frequently painless and asymptomatic; however, larger polyps can cause obstruction of the nasal passages and lead to snoring and other respiratory problems. Severe blockages can inhibit the patient's sense of smell and can lead to an increased incidence of nasal infections.
Nasal Polyps can occur in both younger and more mature adults. The polyps frequently appear in the ostiomeatal complex, the area of the sinuses that open into the nasal cavity. The polyps arise from inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nose and sinuses. Allergies, medication, genetic growth disorders like cystic fibrosis, or other respiratory diseases such as Asthma can bring about the inflammation that causes polyps, but scientists have yet to pin down any specific trigger that leads to polyp growth.
Doctors will often initially recommend medication for the removal of Nasal Polyps. If the medication proves ineffective, doctor and patient will explore surgical options. An endoscope will be utilized to determine the severity of the blockage, as well as the size, number and extent of the polyps.
A Polypectomy removes smaller polyps with a rotary cutting tool (called a "microdebrider") specifically designed for sensitive tissue. For more severe cases, Dr. Slupchynskyj may conduct a full endoscopic procedure on the nasal and sinus cavities to remove the polyps and to inhibit future polyp growth.

Why Batman needs a bigger cape
When Batman returns to movie theaters in The Dark Knight Rises later this month, one group of physicists will be tutting in disapproval.
They've calculated that while his cape would allow him to fly just fine, he'd inevitably break some bones – or worse – when he landed.
In Batman Begins, our hero wears a cape which becomes rigid when a current is passed through it, allowing him to glide elegantly over Gotham City.
But four MPhys students from the UK's University of Leicester have published a paper claiming that although it would be possible to glide this way, Batman would likely go splat when attempting to land.
He'd hit the ground, they say, with the same force as being struck by a car travelling at 50 miles per hour.
The 'wingspan' of Batman's cape – at 4.7 metres – is around half that of a hang glider. And if he jumped from a building 150 metres high, he could glide around 350 metres, they calculate.
However, his velocity would increase during his descent, to around 68 miles per hour at first, before reaching a steady 50 miles per hour as he gets down to ground level. And this, they say, would be much too fast for him to land safely, let alone in a fit state for a fight.
The group concludes that Batman should consider taking a parachute with him if he wants to stay in one piece.
"If Batman wanted to survive the flight, he would definitely need a bigger cape. Or if he preferred to keep his style intact he could opt for using active propulsion, such as jets to keep himself aloft," says David Marshall.
"If he really wanted to stick with tradition, he could follow the method of Gary Connery, who recently became the first person to glide to the ground from a helicopter using only a wingsuit – although he only made it down safely using a large number of cardboard boxes."
'Trajectory of a falling Batman' – with all the math – is here.

Home Products & Tech Technology Instagram tests hiding like and view counts
Instagram tests hiding like and view counts
By Elle Campbell
How would you feel if you had no way of knowing how many likes or views someone else's post on Instagram (aka the highlight reel) received? Do you think you might feel… happier?
Instagram seem to think so.
As part of an experiment in Canada, Instagram is testing out a few new features designed to promote the wellbeing of users' lives, and to "lead the fight against cyber bullying".
Announced May 1 at Facebook's F8 Conference, one new feature will hide a post's likes and/or view counts (although the post creator can still see the names of those who liked their post), as well as making the follower count less prominent.
If the new feature is here to stay, it will be interesting to see how this could impact Instagram influencers, as many of them are paid based on post likes. Instagram has assured the public they will find other ways for influencers to communicate their brand worth (metrics) to the brands and companies who hire them, but they haven't said anything in relation to how this might impact brands, businesses and products who use the platform.
Instagram announced several other new proposed changes designed to enhance the wellbeing of users' lives at F8, including a "nudge" feature, which will alert someone when they are about to make a comment that could potentially be hurtful or harmful and an "Away" mode (similar to what we used on MSN); and also a "Manage Interactions" feature, which will give the user some control over how another user can interact with them. For example, maybe someone can see their photos but cannot DM them.
Along with the proposed features to clean up their digital playground, Instagram announced a few other updates that will be rolling out in the U.S.: a new camera with enhanced features, the ability for Instagram content creators to be able to directly link to products through their post images by tagging items (only of participating brands, though), the ability to donate to non-for-profits in Instagram stories, as well the ability to share text-only and sticker-only content (more details to emerge on this one).
And yes – Mark Zuckerberg addressed the heavy scrutiny of Facebook's user data security, naming six new priorities for the company: private interactions, encryption, reducing the permanence of posts, improving safety, creating the ability for users to communicate between Facebook's family of apps and securing data storage.

Nicole Lin is no stranger to Synology. When you see someone being announced as the new managing director of a company, chances are they're making a move from an executive position at another firm. Lin however has grown with the Taiwanese Network Attached Storage specialists since joining in 2012.
While Lin is focused on the task of expanding Synology's business, she is also aware of her significance. "It's my sincere honour to be assigned the UK and Nordics market as the first female MD; however I prefer not to focus on gender when it comes to leadership," she adds.
One thing for certain is that Lin is thoroughly established and engrained in the company as a vital part of operations, having worked – and spoken – all over the world for the Network Attached Storage specialists. This, she believes, gives her a 'competitive edge' over anyone who potentially could have come in from outside, and ultimately drove her to pursue the managing director role.
And though she seems focused on progressing herself professionally and Synology's market share, Lin's passionate drive for success is driven by a passion for technology itself and what it can bring to people in their everyday lives. "I came to this industry with a firm belief that technology is empowering to all who aspire for a better life and career accomplishment.
Nicole Lin is not lacking in confidence – in herself, the product or the company – and has a bold ambition to grow Synology. A veritable brand-loyal managing director if ever there was one, Lin is ready, willing and able to take Synology to the next level.

Matthew Broderick Forced to Move His Broadway Home

Amagansett's Matthew Broderick was forced to move last week—but not from his and wife Sarah Jessica Parker's Amagansett hideaway or their Greenwich Village townhouse.
The actor and Hamptons resident had to relocate from the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre with his hit Broadway show It's Only A Play in order to make way for Helen Mirren and her West End smash The Audience.
Thankfully, the mood was festive to say the least when the cast—Martin Short, Broderick, Stockard Channing, F. Murray Abraham, Katie Finneran, Maulik Pancholy and Micah Stock–had to relocate to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre next door on January 23. With the help of the show's playwright, Hamptonite Terrence McNally, everyone helped schlep the props, scenery and costumes to their new home.
On the re-opening night,Broderick's wife, SJP, in a spectacular gold lace dress and shoes from her wildly successful footwear line, joined a host of celebs on the red carpet, including Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Larry David, Hamptonite Regis Philbin, Tyne Daly, Delia Ephron, Joe Franklin (who passed away days later) and Amagansett neighbor Kathleen Turner.
Interestingly for Broadway buffs, the two theaters were named for Gerald Schoenfeld and Bernard B. Jacobs, two of Broadway's most powerful forces for over four decades, who were collectively known as "The Shuberts." As heads of The Shubert Organization, the oldest producing in America, they produced scores of hits, including Dreamgirls, Tru, Equus, Passion, Ain't Misbehavin' and The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, to name a few. The Shubert Organization also owns and/or operate 17 Broadway theaters in New York City—Ambassador, Barrymore, Belasco, Booth, Broadhurst, Broadway, Cort, Golden, Imperial, Jacobs, Longacre, Lyceum, Majestic, Music Box, Schoenfeld, Shubert, and Winter Garden—and one off-Broadway theater, The Little Shubert.
Outside New York, the Shubert Organization owns both the Shubert Theatre in Boston and the Forrest in Philadelphia.

This novelistic discourse not only deals with environmental and climatological concerns but also foregrounds the need for incorporating the nonhuman animals in our theoretical spectrum as it still perpetuates the norms of humanist discourse in celebrating the privileged position given to homo sapiens. It is a narrative about the ways the human beings and the nonhuman animals interact, coalesce and grow against the backdrop of nature.

Q: How to get ACL to allow group to have permission to folder I'm a little confused on how to get this working.
I have ACL working and I need to create two goups:

*

*github-total: group that the users in that group have permissions to the folder "/var/git" to read/write/execute.

*github-read: group that the users in that group have permissions to the folder "/var/git" to read.

For the group "github-total" I have done the following:
As "git" user:
$ cd /var
$ mkdir github
$ chmod 770 github
$ ls -al
drwxrwx---+  3 git git   4096 Oct  4 21:48 github

# useradd andre -m
# passwd andre
# groupadd github-total
# usermod -a -G github-total andre
# id andre
uid=500(andre) gid=500(andre) groups=500(andre),502(github-total) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
# cd /var
# setfacl -R -m group:github-total:rwx github
# setfacl -R -d -m group:github-total:rwx github
# getfacl github
file: github
owner: git
group: git
user::rwx
user:git:rwx
group::rwx
group:git:rwx
group:github-total:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:github-total:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

Unfortunately this is not working for me, with user "andre", I cannot list "/var/github"
$ cd /var/github
bash: cd: /var/github: Permission denied

How can I list this folder adding a group to the ACL?
Best Regards,
PS: Sorry for my english...

A: You have updated the user account (/etc/group), however, your currently running processes are not in the new group yet. This is because each process has its own credentials, including the secondary group list, which – for login sessions – is initialized once at login time and inherited by your processes.
(id shows the credentials its own process has, and id username reads from the account database.)
To solve your problem, log out, then log in again. You will have the new group in the list.
For a temporary fix, you could su or sudo -s -u to yourself.

La linea E Eighth Avenue Local è una linea della metropolitana di New York, che collega la città da est, con capolinea presso la stazione di Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer, a ovest, con capolinea presso World Trade Center. È indicata con il colore blu vivido poiché la trunk line utilizzata a Manhattan è la linea IND Eighth Avenue..

Storia

1900-1999
La linea E venne attivata il 19 agosto 1933, effettuando un servizio locale tra le stazioni di Roosevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights e Hudson Terminal. Il 1º gennaio 1936, con l'apertura della linea IND Sixth Avenue, fu estesa fino a East Broadway e poi il 9 aprile fino a Church Avenue, attraverso il Rutgers Street Tunnel e la linea IND Culver, in sostituzione della linea A. Venne quindi nuovamente prolungata, in concomitanza con l'apertura di nuovi tratti della linea IND Queens Boulevard, fino a Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike il 31 dicembre 1936 e fino a 169th Street il 24 aprile 1937. Proprio il 24 aprile 1937, la linea iniziò ad effettuare un servizio espresso tra Continental Avenue e Court Square.

Il 12 settembre 1938, alcuni treni nelle ore di punta iniziarono a terminare presso la stazione di Jay Street mentre alcune corse notturne furono arretrate a Smith-Ninth Streets. Successivamente, tra il 1939 e il 1940, alcune corse pomeridiane della linea furono deviate alla stazione di Horace Harding Boulevard, per servire il sito dell'Expo 1939; il servizio venne quindi interrotto al termine della manifestazione. Nel 1939 fu anche attivata una linea EE che effettuava un servizio locale tra Continental Avenue e Hudson Terminal fuori dalle ore di punta, quando la linea GG non era attiva.

Il 15 dicembre 1940, con il completamento della linea IND Sixth Avenue, la linea E fu troncata a Broadway-Lafayette Street e rimpiazzata a sud di questa stazione della linea F. La linea EE venne invece soppressa. Il 24 ottobre 1949, la linea E fu estesa durante le ore di punta fino alla stazione di Broadway-East New York, mediante la linea IND Fulton Street. Un anno più tradi, il 10 dicembre 1950, fu prolungata a 179th Street; il servizio era espresso tra Queens Plaza e 71st Avenue e locale da 71st Avenue a 179h Street.

Nel 1953, le banchine delle stazioni di 75th Avenue, Sutphin Boulevard, Spring Street, Canal Street, Ralph Avenue e East New York furono allungate a 200 metri per accogliere treni a 11 carrozze. Dall'8 settembre 1953 la linea E iniziò di conseguenza ad usare questi nuovi treni, incrementando la capacità di 4.000 passeggeri. Quindi, dal 30 ottobre 1954, la linea ritornò a Hudson Terminal fuori dalle ore di punta e iniziò ad effettuare un servizio espresso a Manhattan nelle ore di punta.

Il 28 giugno 1956, l'ex linea Rockaway Beach della Long Island Rail Road, riaprì come linea metropolitana e la linea E fu quindi prolungata da East New York a Rockaway Park o Wavecrest durante le ore di punta. Nelle altre fasce orarie, il servizio tra Euclid Avenue e Rockaway Park o Wavecrest era assicurato invece da una navetta. Poco dopo, il 16 settembre 1956, la linea fu limitata a Euclid Avenue e il servizio nella penisola di Rockaway assicurato dalla linea A. Due anni più tardi, l'8 settembre 1958, le linee E a A si scambiarono i capolinea e la linea E ritornò a Rockaway durante le ore di punta. L'8 settembre 1959, divenne locale a Brooklyn, tuttavia nel 1960 ritornò espressa e il prolungamento a Rockaway divenne a tempo pieno. A giugno alcuni treni furono anche estesi a Lefferts Boulevard.

Il 2 gennaio 1973, la linea ridiventò locale a Brooklyn ma tre anni più tardi, il 27 agosto 1976, il servizio a Brooklyn fu eliminato e il capolinea della linea diventò World Trade Center. Il servizio a Brooklyn fu quindi sostituito dalla linea CC. Sempre nel 1976, venne nuovamente soppressa la linea EE, che era stata riattiva nel 1967 tra 71st Avenue e Whitehall Street come rimpiazzo per le linee QT e RR. Fu sostituita dalla linea N.

L'11 dicembre 1988, con l'apertura della linea IND Archer Avenue, la linea E venne reindirizzata a Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer, mentre il servizio verso 179th Street assicurato dapprima dalla linea R e in seguito dalla linea F quando divenne locale. La linea E iniziò inoltre a saltare le fermata di 75th Avenue e Van Wyck Boulevard durante i giorni feriali. In seguito, dal 31 agosto 1997, il servizio nel Queens divenne locale di notte.

2000-presente
Durante i primi anni 2000, per via di alcuni lavori alla stazione World Trade Center, la linea E fu estesa verso Euclid Avenue, tranne di notte quando terminava a Canal Street. A seguito degli attentati dell'11 settembre 2001, poiché il capolinea meridionale della linea era posto nell'angolo nord-est del sito del World Trade Center, la linea subì nuove limitazione e fu deviata di conseguenza nuovamente a Euclid Avenue, tranne di notte, in sostituzione della momentaneamente soppressa linea C. Il 24 settembre, la linea C fu riattivata e la linea E quindi limitata a Canal Street fino alla riapertura della stazione World Trade Center nel gennaio 2002.

Il 16 dicembre 2001, in concomitanza con l'apertura dell collegamento tra la linea IND 63rd Street e la linea IND Queens Boulevard, alcuni treni della linea E iniziarono ad essere deviati a 179h Street durante le ore di punta per assicurare ai passeggeri a est di Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike un servizio espresso per 53rd Street. Questo fu dovuto anche a problemi di capacità a Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer durante le ore di punta.

Il servizio
Come il resto della rete, la linea E Eighth Avenue Local è sempre attiva, 24 ore su 24. A seconda delle fasce orarie il servizio è così strutturato:
 Tra le 6:00 e le 24:00 dei giorni feriali, la linea svolge un servizio espresso nel Queens e un servizio locale a Manhattan. Ferma in 20 stazioni, con un tempo di percorrenza di 55 minuti circa. In questa fascia oraria, nei fine settimana la linea ferma anche a Briarwood e 75th Avenue, portando il totale a 22 stazioni.
 Tra le 0:00 e le 6:00 la linea svolge un servizio locale sia nel Queens che a Manhattan. Ferma in 32 stazione, con un tempo di percorrenza di 1 ora.
Inoltre, durante le ore di punta alcune corse iniziano e terminano a Jamaica-179th Street per problemi di capacità a Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer.

Possiede interscambi con 22 delle altre 24 linee della metropolitana di New York, con le quattro linee della Port Authority Trans-Hudson, con i servizi ferroviari suburbani Long Island Rail Road e New Jersey Transit Rail, con i treni nazionali dell'Amtrak, con numerose linee automobilistiche gestite da MTA Bus, NJT Bus e NYCT Bus e con l'AirTrain JFK, che collega l'aeroporto Internazionale John F. Kennedy con varie stazioni ferroviarie e metropolitane.

Le stazioni servite

Il materiale rotabile
Sulla linea E viene attualmente usato un solo tipo di materiale rotabile, gli R160, prodotti dalla Alstom negli anni 2010. In totale sulla linea E ne vengono utilizzati 52. Invece, il deposito assegnato alla linea è quello di Jamaica.

Ásgeir Belts Stripped-Down Cover of The National's "I Should Live in Salt"
Posted by Ray Padgett at 11:00 am	Add comments
When I first drove around Iceland in 2013, one album was in every record store window, in every coffee shop: Ásgeir Trausti's 2012 debut Dýrð í dauðaþögn. My experience was no fluke; supposedly one out of every ten Icelandic households owned a copy. Even the biggest pop star in America wouldn't have that kind of reach (Beyonce's Lemonade didn't even reach one out of every one hundred households).
Suffice to say, Trausti became massive back home. And he has since worked tirelessly to expand his reach, to become the next in the lineage of Björk and Sigur Rós. His debut was re-released internationally as In the Silence, with lyrics translated into English by John Grant. And last month he released his follow-up, Afterglow. No Icelandic-language version this time.
As part of his promotional tour, he stopped by Spotify for a session. In a more stripped-down setting, his amazing falsetto shines (think Anohni with an accent). And in addition to his own songs, he debuted a gorgeous cover of The National's 2013 track "I Should Live in Salt."
The track originally came off Trouble Will Find Me, which took the National's sound into some weirder and more polarizing places. But in Ásgeir's simple and heartfelt delivery, the beautiful songwriting shines through. Listen below, then check out his equally great cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box."
He also, for the deluxe version of Afterglow, covered Pixies' "Where Is Mind." Like the album, it's more produced and ethereal, but equally beautiful.

Q: Have cmake append a directory to the build RPATH I'd like to add another directory to a target's BUILD_RPATH property, but I'd like it at the end of the list, so it's searched last, after the other directories that cmake automatically adds to target's BUILD_RPATH.  But there doesn't seem to be way to add to the property after the automatic RPATH directories.
At build time, my system libraries are not in the normal locations, but in a staging area.  In order to run uninstalled built binaries, I need to add this staging area to the binaries' RPATHs.  And this part is straightforward to do and works fine, like this:
add_executable(mybinary ${BINARY_SOURCES})
set_property(TARGET mybinary APPEND PROPERTY BUILD_RPATH ${STAGING_LIB_DIR})

But mybinary also uses a library that it built as part of the same project:
add_library(mylib SHARED ${LIB_SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(mybinary PRIVATE mylib)

When mybinary is run, I'd like it to use the mylib that was just built and is in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}, not another copy somewhere else, perhaps in the system library directory from the last time make install was run to install the project.  Or, in my case, a copy of the library in ${STAGING_LIB_DIR}.
cmake will automatically add ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}, or whatever is appropriate, for any libraries not from the system to the build RPATH of produced binaries.  So when one runs mybinary from the build directory it will search for the mylib in the build directory.
But the problem is it appends these automatic library directories to whatever I have set BUILD_RPATH to.  So one gets a final RPATH of ${STAGING_LIB_DIR}:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} and the wrong copy of mylib is used.

A: You could set the SKIP_BUILD_RPATH target property:

SKIP_BUILD_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to skip automatic generation of an rpath allowing the target to run from the build tree. This property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH if it is set when a target is created.

And then manually set the RPATH in whatever way/order you would like without worrying about CMake doing additional things to it.

Facebook's inability to control live streaming 'not good enough' says Guardian boss
March 20, 2019 7:03
by Tim Burrowes
The boss of The Guardian has lashed Facebook for failing to have tools in place that could have prevented the rapid spread of the live streamed video of the Christchurch terror attack.
Pemsel: Monetising terror videos – even accidentally – is abhorrent
Speaking at the Advertising Week Europe conference in London, David Pemsel, CEO of Guardian Media Group, said it was abhorrent that such material could be monetised through appearing on ad funded platform or sites.
Part of last Friday's attack on two mosques was live streamed by the perpetrator via Facebook. Extracts from the opening stages, before he entered the mosque, were later rebroadcast by some Australian news outlets. The Australian Communications & Media Authority, which regulates Australia's broadcasters but not Facebook or other digital players, has already launched an investigation into those editorial decisions.
During the session, Pemsel was asked about The Guardian's relationship with Facebook. Along with The New York Times, The Guardian Media Group was part of last March's investigation which triggered Facebook's most challenging year when it emerged that British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had been mining data on the platform's users.
Talking about the organisation's "complicated" relationship with Facebook, Pemsel said: "As a chief executive of a legacy media company you can sound as if it's all unfair and they're taking our money.
"Its not really about that. The Guardian holds them to account.
"As a business person, whenever I meet anyone from Facebook you just want to say 'look, with scale and impact on the world comes responsibility'. And I think that responsibility about what they do has come very, very late."
Asked whether he accepted that Facebook has now reached an understanding about its responsibilities to society, Pemsel hesitated before saying: "I do think they do now have a clearer understanding of the unintended consequences of the success of that platform, and I do think they understand that when they say 'Hey, we're just a platform, we connect people' – well, you can connect good people and you can connect bad people.
"And the idea that a platform can connect people and at the moment you can have no real arbitration or no real sense of responsibility about connecting the bad as well as the good, you end up with the circumstances we are in now."
"These businesses are new. However, they should have got to their sense of responsibility faster."
Pemsel said that The Guardian had decided not to run any video or images from the attack video.
"It's a shame and really disappointing that you need something of such horror to make people now start to talk about the role of these technology companies."
He suggested that if an organisation such as The Guardian, with relatively limited resources compared to the tech giants, was able to avoid making use of the video, Facebook should have been able too take more steps top prevent it in the first place.
He said: "There is a profound sense of responsibility when these things happen and it's really difficult for an organisation such as ours to look an advertiser in the eye or talk to our readers and say that type of contact has no role in our ecosystem. It will not be distributed across any platforms.
"The idea that somehow – accidentally or otherwise – somebody should monetise that is abhorrent."
"Whereas you then get these companies of such scale and such resources and huge amounts of money seemingly unable to create the technology and the tools to be able to stop that from happening. It's just deeply disappointing.
"And the idea 'We're getting to that; we're on that, we're trying harder, we must do better' I just don't think it's good enough."
A spokesman for Facebook referred Mumbrella to a blog post from the company's lawyer Chris Sonderby on the issue. In part, it stated:
The video was viewed fewer than 200 times during the live broadcast. No users reported the video during the live broadcast. Including the views during the live broadcast, the video was viewed about 4000 times in total before being removed from Facebook.
The first user report on the original video came in 29 minutes after the video started, and 12 minutes after the live broadcast ended.
Before we were alerted to the video, a user on 8chan posted a link to a copy of the video on a file-sharing site.
We designated both shootings as terror attacks, meaning that any praise, support and representation of the events violates our Community Standards and is not permitted on Facebook.
We removed the personal accounts of the named suspect from Facebook and Instagram, and are actively identifying and removing any imposter accounts that surface.
We removed the original Facebook Live video and hashed it so that other shares that are visually similar to that video are then detected and automatically removed from Facebook and Instagram.
Some variants such as screen recordings were more difficult to detect, so we expanded to additional detection systems including the use of audio technology.
In the first 24 hours, we removed about 1.5 million videos of the attack globally. More than 1.2 million of those videos were blocked at upload, and were therefore prevented from being seen on our services.

And I'm 45 20 Mar 19
Monetising terrorist videos is exactly what happened.
"It's a shame and really disappointing that you need something of such horror to make people now start to talk about the role of these technology companies." It is a very true quote.
I really yearn for the days when journalism had the funds and power to have influence and take the time to investigate stories. Newsrooms are so scantly resourced now that so many stories just aren't being told.
We're all for diversification but Google and FB have a mentality that they are the smartest people in the room and the publishers just 'don't get it'. I do think we will look back at this era as the time when the fourth estate was seriously diminished by unregulated tech companies allowing 'trolls' (and boy and I sick sick of that word) dominate social conversations.
Huh 20 Mar 19
If "the video was viewed about 4000 times in total before being removed from Facebook", then how come "In the first 24 hours, we removed about 1.5 million videos of the attack globally. More than 1.2 million of those videos were blocked at upload."
Doesnt that mean that:
* 300k were not blocked at upload but removed within 24 hours
* 1.2m were blocked at upload within 24 hours
… then how was the video only viewed 4,000 times before being removed from Facebook?
Does this refer just to the shooters live stream video?
Does the 4,000 number exclude subsequent views on Facebook that were 'secondary' copies of the original (or parts thereof) e.g. from the named alt-right site?
If so, is the 4,000 number less than what it seems to purport?

PTAB (Russian ПТАБ, short for Противотанковая Авиабомба, "Antitank Aviation Bomb") was a Soviet World War II high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shaped charge bomb.

Design
The bomb was designed within a case of 2.5 kg bomb with real weight of 1.5 kg and 0.62 kg of explosives. The Ilyushin Il-2 ground attack aircraft could carry 280 PTAB bombs directly on the bomb-bay folds, or 4x48 in four cassettes. The PTAB 2.5 could penetrate 60 to 70 millimeter tank armor, at the time sufficient for the top armor of even heavy tanks.

Use
Introduced in 1943, PTABs were widely deployed from Il-2s, and due to the bomb's very low weight, from Yakovlev Yak-9 fighters, specifically from the internal weapon bay in the Yak-9B (fighter-bomber) modification. The Polikarpov Po-2 could also carry and deploy PTABs.

The number of PTABs dropped in a given time period steadily increased thereafter. By the end of 1943, Soviet records show that 1,171,340 PTABs were dropped. In 1944, the number rose to 5,024,822. In the first four months of 1945, a further 3,242,701 PTABs were used.

MPC-Based UAV Navigation for Simultaneous Solar-Energy Harvesting and Two-Way Communications
Hoang Duong Tuan, Ali Arshad Nasir, Andrey V. Savkin, H. Vincent Poor, Eryk Dutkiewicz
Center for Statistics & Machine Learning
The paper is the first work that considers a constrained feedback control strategy to navigate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from a given starting point to a given terminal point while harvesting solar energy and providing a wireless communication service for ground users. Wireless communication channels are stochastic and cannot be known off-line, making the problem of off-line UAV path planning for wireless communication as considered in most existing works less meaningful. We consider the problem of navigating a solar-powered UAV from a starting point to a terminal point to harvest solar energy while serving the two-way communication between multiple pairs of ground users in a complex terrain. The objective is to jointly optimize the UAV's flight time and its flight path by trading-off between the harvested energy and power consumption subject to the ground users' minimum throughput requirement. We develop a new model predictive control (MPC) technique to address this problem. Namely, based on the well-known statistics of the air-to-ground (A2G) and ground-to-air (G2A) wireless channels, a predictive control model is proposed at each time-instant, which leads to an optimization problem over a receding horizon for the control design. This problem is non-convex due to the involvement of various optimization variables, which is then solved via novel convex iterations. Simulation results show the merits of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained by the proposed algorithm match with the benchmark non-MPC and offline-MPC approaches.

How long can people live?
Modern humans have become incomparably good at survival, doing more to extend our lives over the past century than our forebears did in the 6.6 million years since we parted evolutionary ways with chimpanzees, according to a recent study.
By Melissa HealyLos Angeles Times
Sun., Dec. 9, 2012timer2 min. read
LOS ANGELES—Modern humans have become incomparably good at survival, doing more to extend our lives over the past century than our forebears did in the 6.6 million years since we parted evolutionary ways with chimpanzees, according to a recent study.
The research, published online by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, touches upon the hotly debated question of whether an upper limit to longevity is inscribed in our genes.
It makes clear that life extension begins at birth, with a child born in the last four generations standing a better chance of being alive during infancy, adolescence, the reproductive years and after than in any of the 8,000 human generations that came before.
The study authors, from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, began by comparing people who have lived or now live in primitive hunter-gatherer societies around the globe in which lifespans have been well documented to citizens of industrialized countries in Europe and Asia.
A typical Swede, for instance, is more than 100 times more likely to survive to the age of 15 than a typical hunter-gatherer.
And a hunter-gatherer who has reached the ripe old age of 30 is about as likely to die in the following year as the world's champion of longevity — a 72-year-old woman in Japan.
In evolution's actuarial table, the researchers wrote, "72 is the new 30."
The bulk of that progress has been made since 1800, when the average lifespan of a Swede at birth was 32. That is roughly on par with the 31 years that the average hunter-gatherer can expect to live.
By the year 1900, the average lifespan in Sweden had reached 52. Today it stands at 82 — an increase of more than 150 per cent in about 200 years.
That puts to shame efforts to extend the lives of laboratory animals, the study authors noted. By inducing genetic mutations in various species, scientists have boosted the longevity of nematode worms by more than 100 per cent, fruit flies by about 85 per cent and mice by roughly 50 per cent.
No species dramatizes the breathtaking rate of humans' life extension more than chimpanzees, mankind's closest relative. At any age, the life expectancy of a human in a hunter-gatherer society is closer to that of a chimp in the wild than it is to a modern-day resident of Japan or Sweden, according to the study.
The authors wrote that the rapid improvements in human survival could only be accounted for by environmental changes, including better nutrition and medical advances; changes in the genome accumulate far too slowly to explain the progress.
"We have much to learn" before divining the limits of the human lifespan and understanding which forces push hardest against those limits, the authors wrote.
Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, an evolutionary biologist at Great Britain's University of Liverpool who was not involved in the study, said it "revealed with remarkable clarity the spectacular drop in human mortality that has occurred in some industrialized societies over the past few generations."
Others criticized the study for failing to factor in the fact that obesity and other health problems have started to reduce life expectancy for some people in industrialized societies.


Playwright and video artist Lola Arias' first feature film, Teatro de Guerra, is a difficult to classify and emotional work that explores the conscience of the Falklands War through scripted scenes with six real veterans on both sides of the conflict.
Originating in video and theatre pieces, Arias has worked with the six British and Argentinean men for a long time and it is important to consider that they are active participants in a film that is both harrowing and cathartic in detailing their experiences. Initially consisting of talking head interviews that feature boom operators and boom poles, Arias uses Brechtian devices in order to remind us of the absurd and perfomative nature of war, yet stark statements such as "corned beef reminds me of killing people" from a British soldier who relates his dining on the food over dead Argentine bodies, cut through intellectualisations of tragedy. Arias effectively counterbalances this dread with strange, amusing and unsettling scenes between the veterans. In one case two soldiers stand side on and argue in a respectful but passive aggressive manner over their respective claims to the Falklands / Malvinas, separated by a map of the world. In another they perform a live rock song to angry and sad anti-war lyrics written by Corporal Lou Armour (the Argentine drummer holding a glare to the back of Armour's head after being instructed to 'play faster' is a particular highlight). Armour also teaches his Argentine counterpart combat defence moves that focus on the testicular area of the adversary.
Reenactments of fighting are clumsy but charming in a sense that echoes the action cinema we consume whilst asserting its falseness compared to the very real experiences of these men. The film is deliberately composed with mostly static and un-dramatic shots that do not exaggerate the subjects' internal trauma. Arias holds close on an Argentine soldier when he reveals his drug addiction and depression following the war, includes a seemingly superfluous scene where a Gurkha speaks on Skype to his mother which in fact empathetically contextualises his outsider status among British troops, and humorously depicts an interaction between the British soldiers in a bar where they complain about her overbearing influence. The film culminates with the veterans coaching younger soldiers to play themselves in a battle reenactment: they become the directors of their own traumatic truths. Although this conceit is not original and could be compared to The Act of Killing or Kate Plays Christine, Arias perfectly encapsulates the pain of these men in a way that grants them autonomy whilst they bear the malevolent legacies of Thatcher and Galtieri.

FHSAA mandates helmets for girls lacrosse
by: Steven Ryzewski Senior Sports Editor
The Florida High School Athletic Association announced a significant change to one sport and the possibility of a significant development in another last week.
Citing safety concerns as its primary reasoning, the FHSAA has decided to mandate that girls lacrosse players wear helmets, starting with the 2015 spring season. The decision is at odds with the policy of US Lacrosse, the governing body of the sport, which does not require female athletes to wear protective headgear.
In a statement, FHSAA spokesperson Corey Sobers said that although there were members from US Lacrosse present at the meeting where this was decided and that both sides were taken into account, it was the view of the organization's board of directors that this was a necessary preventative measure.
"The Board does not want to wait until a catastrophic injury occurs to make this type of decision," Sobers said. "There were representatives from US Lacrosse at the Board meeting and there has been data reviewed but the emphasis, above all, is on the safety of student-athletes and the Board felt that this step made sense."
Sobers stated that the FHSAA has not decided upon what type of helmet will be required and that once it has, that information will be made public. Sobers said that although this is a significant change, the game of girls lacrosse in Florida will essentially remain the same.
"The FHSAA realizes that there are differences between the way the game is played between boys and girls lacrosse but there are no changes to the actual rules of girls lacrosse," Sobers said. "It will be officiated the same way with the same rules and the lone difference is to offer protection to the head area that lessens impact if there is some type of collision (whether that be the ball, stick, body contact)."
The board for the FHSAA also decided to move forward in its openness towards a proposal by Paragon Marketing to have one of its teams participate in a national postseason bowl game in football, similar to the National High School Invitational in basketball.
According to the release, Florida's highest ranked team nationally would compete in a televised game against an out-of-state opponent based on rankings and a selection committee. The statement said that Florida's participation in such a game, which would likely air on the ESPN family of networks, is contingent upon Paragon's securing of sponsorships and interest from other states.

Today's space limited vehicles present big challenges for bass reproduction. We responded by engineering an enclosure series that matches perfectly with most of today's shallow mount subwoofers. Using a structurally enhanced baffle design and 5/8" MDF to maximize on volume, the shallow Woofer series is the best space-saving enclosure solution.

On the Market: Hidden historic gem in Fairfield
By Meg Barone | on June 17, 2019
Sturges Cottage, from the former Frederick Sturges Estate, of which this carriage house was once a part.
The last vestiges of the nearly 1,000-acre Frederick Sturges Estate are still visible in Fairfield. The Sturges Cottage still stands today on Mill Plain Common. Its coral rose-colored board and batten exterior is repeated on the Sturges carriage house several blocks away and not as obvious because it sits behind privacy fencing.
This hidden historic gem at 674 Mill Plain Road was built in 1890 in the Sturges neighborhood. A local woman who spent time in the carriage house before it was converted into a residence told the current owners that as a child she used to jump from the hayloft into a pile of hay below. That is part of more recent history, just a few decades ago. Going back to the late 1890s, this property was built to function as part of a large barn complex, the Historic Review indicates, and photos to support that fact were provided by the current family. Sadly, other structures were destroyed in a fire but the carriage house somehow survived.
Today it is a magical place with beautiful landscaping; its gardens planted by an historic landscape architect. The original, unusually wide front door into the foyer has a "sister" door at far end of the center entrance hall, which opens to a manicured lawn with mature plantings and border gardens including tall rhododendrons and daffodils. Large windows allow for attractive garden views.
"As you swing open the gate to this Carriage House's private patio, you are met with the sense of history that emotes from the Carpenter Gothic architecture of this converted home and its beautiful gardens," according to the Historical Review from the Fairfield Museum and History Center.
The 2,923-square-foot house and surrounding property have been lovingly cared for and updated by the current owners, who have called it "home" for 34 years. Among the more recent updates and improvements they made are the installation of a high-efficiency gas furnace, gas hot water heater, central air conditioning, and lawn irrigation. As an added bonus, this house is within easy walking distance to the Metro North train station, public schools, and downtown restaurants and shopping.

The briefing scenario, prepared for a senior Environment Canada official attending an industry awards gala, suggested that oil and gas companies didn't want a series of separate legislative changes, but rather an "omnibus" approach.
An official from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said it didn't make specific requests about the legislative process, but confirmed it asked the government to improve the business climate without compromising environmental performance.
"CAPP did not express any opinion on what legislative process the federal government should use to implement the changes," said association vice president, Janet Annesley, in an emailed statement.
Her comments appeared to contradict the government's assessment of industry demands regarding environmental laws such as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the Species At Risk Act.
"CAPP has raised issues with the 'one-off' reviews of specific legislation such as CEAA and SARA and would rather have a more strategic omnibus legislative approach," said the briefing material, released through access to information legislation.
After Postmedia News sent CAPP the document, Annesley said in a separate email that her association had continuously asked for a "holistic review of regulatory legislation.
"This is an internal government briefing document and we cannot speak to the government's specific choice of words," she said.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government put hundreds of pages of changes to environmental protection laws in its budget implementation legislation in 2012, weakening rules that protect water and species at risk, introducing new tools to authorize water pollution, as well as restricting public participation in environmental hearings and eliminating thousands of reviews to examine and mitigate environmental impacts of industrial projects.
In the past week, the National Energy Board has used one of the provisions from the legislation to require Canadians to fill in a 10-page form, along with a resume of their credentials, in order to participate in public hearings on an Enbridge pipeline reversal project.
The changes have also prompted a national protest movement using the "Idle No More" slogan to defend the rights of Aboriginal Canadians.
Environment Minister Peter Kent has said Canadians will eventually see evidence that the changes are improving environmental protection.
Opposition parties and environmental groups said the omnibus approach prevented an adequate debate and review of the changes in Parliament.
The briefing material was prepared for Environment Canada's associate deputy minister, Andrea Lyon, who was attending reception and awards dinner hosted by CAPP on March 21, 2012.
The document also said that some prominent Alberta politicians were scheduled to attend the gala, including Premier Alison Redford and Conservative MP Michelle Rempel, the parliamentary secretary to Kent.
Greenpeace Canada has also noted that many of the changes adopted were specifically proposed by the industry lobby.
"Stephen Harper denounced galas put on by the arts community, but sends his MPs to galas where the oil industry gives itself awards while lobbying politicians for weaker environmental regulations," Stewart added, referring to previous comments made by Harper suggesting that artists attend posh events and want government subsidies.

Le Piccole Suore Domenicane (in francese Petites Sœurs Dominicaines; sigla P.S.D.) sono un istituto religioso femminile di diritto pontificio.

Storia
La congregazione fu fondata nel 1876 a Beaune dal sacerdote Victor Chocarne e da Marguerite de Blic per l'apostolato nel mondo operaio tramite l'assistenza domiciliare gratuita ai malati poveri.

Le infermiere nel 1877 si costituirono in associazione del terz'ordine domenicano e nel 1879 aprirono la loro prima casa a Beaune prendendo il nome di "domenicane del Santo Bambino Gesù"; nel 1893 aggiunsero al titolo "infermiere dei poveri" e adottarono il nome di "Piccole Suore Domenicane" nel 1951.

L'istituto, aggregato all'ordine dei frati predicatori dal 13 marzo 1880, ricevette il pontificio decreto di lode il 15 luglio 1908.

Attività e diffusione
Le suore si dedicano all'assistenza ai malati a domicilio e in centri di cura, ad altre attività di carattere medico-sociale, al lavoro in fabbrica e alla catechesi.

Oltre che in Francia, sono presenti in Belgio, Congo, Ruanda e Spagna; la sede generalizia è a Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle, presso Orléans.

Alla fine del 2015 l'istituto contava 72 religiose in 17 case.

Everyday Chaos
by David Weinberger
Everyday Chaos:
Technology, Complexity, and How We're Thriving in a New World of Possibility
Harvard Book Store welcomes pioneering internet thought leader DAVID WEINBERGER for a discussion of his latest book, Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We're Thriving in a New World of Possibility.
About Everyday Chaos
Artificial intelligence, big data, modern science, and the internet are all revealing a fundamental truth: The world is vastly more complex and unpredictable than we've allowed ourselves to see.
Now that technology is enabling us to take advantage of all the chaos it's revealing, our understanding of how things happen is changing—and with it, our deepest strategies for predicting, preparing for, and managing our world. This affects everything, from how we approach our everyday lives to how we make moral decisions and how we run our businesses.
Through stories from history, business, and technology, philosopher and technologist David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of the tools we take for granted—and a future in which our best strategy often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as many possibilities as we can. The book's imperative for business and beyond is simple: Make. More. Future.
Praise for Everyday Chaos
"My copy is filled with notes on the margins of every page. This is what books are for—a mind-blowing, game-changing, fun-to-read race into the future. Wow." —Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing
"Weinberger's thought-provoking call to action is a must-read for business leaders pushing the envelope on innovation, for policy makers seeking to protect the public from undue harm, and for the rest of us who are keen to live better lives but mindful of any unintended consequences." —Aneesh Chopra, former US Chief Technology Officer, Obama Administration
"With classic Weinberger wit and brilliant insight, this book shatters the myth of predictability while delivering grounded, actionable advice for anyone trying to thrive in the everyday chaos that has become our world. A page-turner must-read for everyone." —Joichi Ito, Director, MIT Media Lab
David Weinberger is a pioneering thought leader about the Internet's effect on our lives, on our businesses, and most of all, on our ideas. He has served as an Internet adviser to presidential campaigns; an early social-networking entrepreneur; a writer-in-residence at Google; a senior researcher at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, a fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, and a Franklin Fellow at the US State Department. His writing has appeared in publications from Wired to Harvard Business Review and his books include the bestselling The Cluetrain Manifesto.
