Beyond everything else, and I think you'll agree, the greatest thing about landscape photography is that it is a passport to adventure.
The camera has always been an excuse to explore nature's wide open spaces and capture its beauty. The prize is to bring it home and perhaps print it and hang it above your fireplace mantle.
Much like hunting and fishing throughout history, with photography (unlike in these pursuits), you will always come back with something hopefully nice. That is, once you've learned how to recognize what you're seeing, conceive it, and capture a compelling image with a strong story.
If you're new to landscape photography, being relaxed and understanding the great outdoors is a good way to start. There are a few more things I'd like you to consider.
After playing and working in the outdoors on a creative level for over 25 years through the lens, I seem to be able to drop into nature's rhythms and see its patterns of color, light, and shadow. I'm also good at passing this on to others in the field. Partially because of my outdoor pursuits beyond photography, paired with running creative businesses over the years.
Excelling in landscape photography takes some time to develop. You're most likely reading this because you're just getting started, or you've been hitting some serious walls of rejection or confusion on the whole process. Maybe you're looking for some consistency in your landscape photographs, beyond the hit and miss method you've been using for years. Or you're hoping that next new camera, lens or Lightroom fix will do the trick.
Don't get me wrong, new gear is great! But nailing down some hands-on fundamentals is a lot cheaper in the long run and you'll never need to be upgraded to a new model.
Learning how to see compositions and then piece them together in nature may seem impossible for some. Nature is dynamic and always changing before our eyes and can be overwhelming.
Creating a good photograph seems so simple at first when looking around on a beautiful spring day or when you are experiencing freshly fallen snow in a forest. Anywhere we look is extremely beautiful to our naked almost 3-dimensional eyes. We live in a beautiful world!
Learning to sort through a busy scene, packed with obvious and shiny distractions is challenging with any camera. But let me tell you, I've been in the business teaching landscape photography for years. Anyone can sort through most any landscape and create a wonderful scenic photograph. This can be learned if you are open to some type of live mentoring, instruction, and yes, some thoughtful criticism of your present methods.
The first trick is to boil down the fundamentals of photography. Pulling from those fundamentals, learn to create not only a representative landscape but a compelling one with a strong story. You want your photographs to state more than the obvious snapshot of a sunset, pretty clouds, trees, beach, waterfall or wave.
You need to know and understand photographic composition. You also can't get around learning what f-stops, shutter speeds and ISO' s physically do to a photograph, where to focus and how all this affects your compositions.
You can't get by on that random setting someone told you they used at one time, or for that matter that photographer's settings standing next to you who looks like he knows what he's doing. All photographs benefit by being intentionally conceived. By using this knowledge, you will have a solid chance at success. This is where we can help you and have helped many photographers over the years.
In the near future, we'll be featuring 2 interesting destination workshops: The California Central Coast and Yosemite Valley during the magnificent dogwood, poppy, and fruit tree blooms. Both provide the uninitiated with proper guidance and instruction and a higher than average chance at magnificent landscape images. They both contain an ever-changing array of possibilities and challenges at every turn. With intimate knowledge of these locations, we can help any beginner or intermediate landscape photographer bring out more story than their obvious beauty. Both locations can be privately optioned workshops as well at any time.
Both of these amazing locations have highly accessible natural features. They also happen to be our favorite teaching locations for beginners and intermediate landscape photographers wanting to take their photography to the next level. Each has unending landscape photography possibilities to construct solid images for our clients by using our specific teaching methods.
All the best and take the next step!

Field trips serve the purpose of both learning and recreation. Today's students are visual learners and field trips let them touch, feel, and listen to what they're learning about. This in turn helps them build on classroom instruction, gain a better understanding of topics, build cultural understanding and tolerance, and expose them to worlds outside their own. Hence, field trips are a key component of school instruction.

China's artificial intelligence is catching criminals and advancing health care
December 12, 2017 PPL
Zhu Long, co-founder and CEO of Yitu Technology, has his identity checked at the company's headquarters in the Hongqiao business district in Shanghai. Picture: Zigor Aldama
"Our machines can very easily recognise you among at least 2 billion people in a matter of seconds," says chief executive and Yitu co-founder Zhu Long, "which would have been unbelievable just three years ago."
Its platform is also in service with more than 20 provincial public security departments, and is used as part of more than 150 municipal public security systems across the country, and Dragonfly Eye has already proved its worth.
On its very first day of operation on the Shanghai Metro, in January, the system identified a wanted man when he entered a station. After matching his face against the database, Dragonfly Eye sent his photo to a policeman, who made an arrest.
In the following three months, 567 suspected lawbreakers were caught on the city's underground network.
Whole cities in which the algorithms are working say they have seen a decrease in crime. According to Yitu, which says it gets its figures directly from the local authorities, since the system has been implemented, pickpocketing on Xiamen's city buses has fallen by 30 per cent; 500 criminal cases have been resolved by AI in Suzhou since June 2015; and police arrested nine suspects identified by algorithms during the 2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou.
"Chinese authorities are collecting and centralising ever more information about hundreds of millions of ordinary people, identifying persons who deviate from what they determine to be 'normal thought' and then surveilling them," says Sophie Richardson, China director at HRW.
Research and advocacy group Human Rights Watch (HRW) says security systems such as those being developed by Yitu "violate privacy and target dissent".
The NGO calls it a "police cloud" system and believes "it is designed to track and predict the activities of activists, dissidents and ethnic minorities, including those authorities say have extreme thoughts, among others".
Zhu says, "We all discuss AI as an opportunity for humanity to advance or as a threat to it. What I believe is that we will have to redefine what it is to be human. We will have to ask ourselves what the foundations of our species are.
"At the same time, AI will allow us to explore the boundaries of human intelligence, evaluate its performance and help us understand ourselves better."

Q: getResourceAsStream returns NullpointerException In Spring, I want to get the image to display on my browser.  The image is located in my main project i.e.
> myproject
   - src
   - target
   - img.png

This means that img.png is in the root so I dont supply any path but it returns a NullPointerException. I tried adding the image in src and I changed path to src\img.png but still gave NPE.
Please note, this project is using Maven.
Stack Trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
    at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.copyLarge(IOUtils.java:1792) ~[commons-io-2.4.jar:2.4]
    at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.copyLarge(IOUtils.java:1769) ~[commons-io-2.4.jar:2.4]
    at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.copy(IOUtils.java:1744) ~[commons-io-2.4.jar:2.4]
    at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toByteArray(IOUtils.java:462) ~[commons-io-2.4.jar:2.4]

Here is the code I use:
InputStream in = DataService.class.getResourceAsStream("img.png");

        final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.setContentType(MediaType.IMAGE_PNG);

        result.setData(new ResponseEntity<byte[]>(IOUtils.toByteArray(in), headers, HttpStatus.CREATED));

Comments on this question being marked for closure:

*

*The question is related to programming as the API getResourceAsStream says this:

Returns
A URL object or null if no resource with this name is found

My code was returning null even when I tried adding img.png to different locations.

*

*This question is not a duplicate of this: getResourceAsStream() is always returning null
The answer in that question says that the file must be in the same directory as this but in this question, even though I added the image to the same location where class DataService was, it did not work.

A: When the project setup is done using Maven, adding the image to resources folder worked. Nothing from the code changed:
DataService.class.getClassLoader().getResource("img.png")

A: The issue here is that /src is probably the root of classpath (it depends on how you compile the project), and so you should put the img.png to src folder and the following code would work
DataService.class.getResourceAsStream("img.png");
Generally the getResourceAsStream() looks for the files from the root of classpath.

A: you just need to do a small change, it's getResourceAsStream("/img.png") not getResourceAsStream("img.png").
I hope this will help.

I am using four Form Web Parts for filtering and searching rows on a DVWP. Three FWPs are providing filters to the DVWP where the DVWP is the filter consumer. The last FWP is providing a parameter; the DVWP is the parameter consumer.
On the Common Data View Tasks popout, I've configured the 'Sort and Group:' as [count(//@ID)]+ in order for the results to show the total number of records available after one of the filters is used.
The 'count(//@ID)' works great for each of the filter FWPs, but does not work for the parameter FWP. What is different about the parameter-providing FWP than the filter-providing FWPs.
The [count(//@ID)] code appears in code view after all the FWPs.

financial support from both parents. A court cannot order an alleged father to pay child support until paternity has been established.
benefits, such as social security, insurance, inheritance and veteran's benefits, from both parents if they are available. A child might not be able to claim benefits from the father if paternity has not been established.
medical history. Children have the right to know if they have inheritable health problems.
A Denial of Paternity (DOP) is a legal form signed by a presumed father that states (under penalty of perjury) that the presumed father is not the child's genetic father. To be valid, the child's genetic father and mother must also sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) and both the DOP and the AOP forms must be filed with the Vital Statistics Unit.
during the first two years of the child's life, he continuously lived with the child and represented to others that the child was his own.
See Texas Family Code chapter 160.102.
An AOP and DOP can be completed at the hospital when the child is born. The hospital will then file the AOP and/or DOP with the Texas Vital Statistics Unit.
An AOP and/or DOP can also be completed before or after the child is born at a certified entity (such as a local birth registrar or child support office). Call (866) 255-2006 to find a certified entity near you. The certified entity will then file the AOP and/or DOP with the Texas Vital Statistics Unit.
Parents who live out of state can get help completing an AOP or DOP over the phone by calling (866) 255-2006.
According to the Texas Vital Statistics Unit. an AOP form is only available through entities certified to offer it. They cannot send an AOP form to you.
Note: The effective date of an AOP or DOP is the date it is filed with the Texas Vital Statistic Unit. Exception: If the AOP or DOP is filed before the child is born, it takes effect on the day the child is born.

An Acknowledgment of Paternity is void if it falsely denies the existence of a presumed, acknowledged or adjudicated father.
the man signing must not be have been named as the child's father in a court order.
before a court case about the child is filed.
If you don't meet the deadline to rescind, you may be able to challenge an AOP or DOP you signed by filing a court case in the county where the child lives.


You can feel the ultimate comfort of casual style when you have a shirt like this one in your collection. The semi-sheer finish of the lightweight fabric is so soft against your skin that you might forget you're wearing it. The wide collar on the shirt is a v-neckline style with a fluted edge. Long sleeves are loose fitting to feel as if you're not wearing them at all. You won't have to roll up your sleeves as the air will get to your arms just fine either way. Whether you're in the sun, or you're enjoying relaxing at home, this is the kind of shirt that will put you in extreme comfort. The extended length of the shirt will have you feeling like you're relaxing wearing something you borrowed from a guy friend. So easy to care or, you're going to have a hard time wearing anything else in your wardrobe other than this shirt.

The strike was conducted as part of Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to eliminate the Daesh terrorist group and the threat they pose to Iraq, Syria, and the wider international community. The destruction of Daesh targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the group's ability to project terror and conduct operations.

Tuning out the Tigers →
Houston, you have yet another problem
Houston called itself "Clutch City" after the Rockets won back-to-back NBA championships in 1994 (vs. the Knicks, led by Patrick Ewing) and 1995 (vs. the Magic, sweeping an Orlando team led by Shaq).
After the last three months, a more appropriate moniker for Houston is "Choke City".
It began with the Astros. After winning a franchise record 107 games in the regular season, Houston nearly choked in the American League Division Series vs. the Rays, needing a victory in the winner-take-all Game 5 to advance to the American League Championship Series.
The Astros ousted the Yankees in six to move into the World Series for the second time in three years, where Houston would face the Washington Nationals, who were making their first World Series appearance.
Many experts expected the Astros to win the first two games at Minute Maid Park, then go to the nation's capital and win two of three there.
Instead, Houston lost the first two games at home. The Astros rallied to win the next three in the District of Columbia to gain the series lead, only to choke it away by losing the sixth and seventh games in Texas. It became the first best-of-seven series in any of the three major sports (MLB, NBA, NHL) which use that format where the road team won every game.
Today, the Texans joined the Astros in Houston sports infamy.
Bill O'Brien's team built a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter of an AFC divisional playoff in Kansas City.
By halftime, the Chiefs led 28-24, as Patrick Mahomes joined Doug Williams as the only quarterbacks to throw four touchdown passes in one quarter of a playoff game. Williams did it in the second quarter of Super Bowl XXII, when the Redskins turned a 10-0 deficit vs. the Broncos into a 35-10 halftime bulge. Washington won 42-10, and Williams was the game's Most Valuable Player.
Kansas City won 51-31 and earned the right to host Tennessee in next Sunday's AFC championship game.
Green Bay held on to defeat Seattle 28-23 in the NFC, sending the Packers to Santa Clara to face the 49ers for the other spot in Super Bowl LIV in Miami (Gardens) Feb. 2.
A team from Houston has not played in the AFC championship game since 1979, when the Oilers lost to the Steelers for the second consecutive year. Bum Phillips' team was hurt by the officials making a bad call on a pass to Mike Renfro which was ruled incomplete but was in fact a touchdown, but it probably wouldn't have mattered.
Even worse, Houston fans have to watch their former team play in its third AFC championship since relocating to the Volunteer State. The Titans defeated the Jaguars in 1999 before losing to the Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV, but lost to the Raiders in 2002.
Barely an hour after the game ended at ARrowhead, a Houston Chronicle columnist wrote it was time for Texans coach Bill O'Brien to leave, reminding readers of past Houston sports failures. One of them was the famous 1983 NCAA men's basketball title game, when Jim Valvano's underdog North Carolina State Wolfpack shocked the mighty Houston Cougars, nicknamed "Phi Slamma Jamma" , when Lorenzo Charles caught Dereck Whittenburg's airball and slammed it through the net with no time remaining. That Houston team featured two of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players, Clyde Drexler and (H)Akeem Olajuwon.
It wasn't the first time a team from Kansas City stuck it to a team from Houston.
In 1993, the Oilers hosted the Chiefs in an AFC divisional game. Houston entered on an 11-game winning streak, but Kansas City, led by Joe Montana, prevailed 28-20. Following that loss, the Oilers' fan support plummeted to subterranean depths, and after the 1996 season, they were on their way to Tennessee.
In 2015, the Astros were up 2-1 on the Royals in an American League Division Series and led Game 4 through seven innings. Kansas City rallied to win that game, won Game 5 in Kansas City, and eventually won the World Series. Houston's 2017 World Series championship took the sting out of the 2015 setback, but the one in 2019 will be hard to forget, no matter if the Astros win another championship or not.
Despite superstars like Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Chris Paul and James Harden playing for the Rockets in recent years, Houston has not played for an NBA championship since 1995. The window is wide open with the Warriors in free fall, but the Rockets will be severely tested by the two Los Angeles teams in the West, and hopefully Milwaukee if they make it to the Finals.
Approximately 26 hours from now, LSU will either have completed its greatest football season ever, or one of its most disappointing. Hopefully it's the former. However, I would feel much better about this if the opponent were wearing scarlet and gray instead of orange. Something tells me Dabo is the younger, hipper version of LSU's former coach–the one in Tuscaloosa, not the one in Lawrence–and has a dynasty going in the the South Carolina uplands.

The five best cycling apps
Cyclists are usually right up there in terms of accepting new technology and experimenting with new ways of doing things. Smartphones have changed the way we navigate, measure and cope with riding the bike and we have taken them to our hearts. There are now hundreds of smartphone apps made just for cyclists and I use five of them.
It goes without saying that Strava plays a huge part in the lives of most cyclists. The ability to measure, track and navigate is useful. The ability to gain achievements is also quite powerful although also quite annoying. Used as motivation, those awards and KOMs are hugely addictive. Taken too far they can ruin the ride, which is why I don't use them.
Used sensibly, Strava is a must have cycling app. Available on iOS and Android.
Bike Doctor
The Bike Doctor app is ideal for those new to cycling. It's an app that can help maintain and repair your bike. I find it especially useful while out and about as I have books and the interwebs at home. It offers step-by-step guides on changing a tyre, fixing flats, replacing cables and all those tasks any cyclist should get to know.
Bike Doctor is very helpful cycling app and is available on iOS and Android.
St John Ambulance First Aid For Cyclists
I regard the St John Ambulance First Aid For Cyclists as an essential app. Not just in case I injure myself but in case I come across someone else who needs help. The app is well laid out and contains useful and most importantly, accurate, information on managing first aid when out and about. Every cyclist should have this and know at least some basic first aid.
St John Ambulance First Aid For Cyclists is available on iOS and Android.
Fill That Hole
There is no denying that the UK has some of the worst roads of anywhere in the modern world. Even though the cost of driving is among the most expensive, our roads never seem to be up to standard. Holding councils accountable is essential and that's what Fill That Hole excels at. You can report the size and location of a pothole and send it in seconds. It's easy to use and works. Nuff said.
The Fill That Hole cycling app is available on iOS and Android.
As a Garmin 510 user, I find Garmin Connect really useful. Not really for all the graphical gubbins and measurements but for the weather and for LiveTrack. A cyclists life is dictated by the weather and the ability to have at least an idea of what's coming is invaluable. LiveTrack also allows your significant other to see where you are at any given time. Very useful if you have a serious mechanical and need a lift!
The Garmin Connect cycling app is available on iOS and Android.

I noticed after watching The Ornithologist that Switzerland's Locarno Festival seems to be the source of all the critically-praised movies that never end up playing theaters near me, or even coming out on video in many cases. At the same time, I was reading about the Locarno In Los Angeles festival and wishing we had something like that. So, now we do… presenting the first annual LNKarno Festival, a reprise of Locarno's lineup from five years ago.
I'd already seen some of these – LNKarno-week viewings in red.

Why Getting Back to Basics is a Top CISO Priority
The frequency and severity of cyber-attacks increase every year, and COVID-19 only accelerated this trend. According to Check Point, cyber-attacks have increased 70% over the last year. In the face of this constant threat, the number one cybersecurity priority for today's CISOs is getting back to the basics. Simply put, this means refocusing your efforts to ensure alignment with corporate/enterprise objectives.
CISO's need to ensure the protection of mission-critical data and applications by extending high-value preventative standards to service providers and vendors. To get this done, CISOs must carry the torch, leading the way by doing the hard work of assessing, categorizing, and prioritizing which applications and data are the most valuable to the business. All the while, fostering a culture of secure systems architecture and engineering to build a standard of security-focused (risk-averse) business operations.
When it comes to implementation, there is no such thing as set-it-and-forget-it security. An organization's preventative measures are only as good as the implementation, daily management, and the logs that accompany them. Followed by limiting dwell-time, lateral movement, and possible exfiltration of sensitive data. Developing a defense-in-depth strategy that limits infiltration is just the beginning.
Often, this security approach involves a series of independent implementations that only solve one problem. This leads to tool sprawl that increases costs and adds operational complexity. So, once you've built a robust cybersecurity strategy, we recommend finding the most consolidated enterprise security architecture available—one that also achieves your desired goals. Consolidated prevention tools make security easier to implement, monitor, and control. This maximizes the effectiveness of Security Operations Center (SOC) operations and actionable outcomes.
Upon establishing the right-sized, highest-value security architecture for your organization, you must also ensure the management of the SOC is fully enabled with actionable monitoring intelligence to maximize the value of your logs. It's not enough just to have logs; they need to be the right logs, and they need to provide actionable information. Technical gates, alerts, and logging are most valuable when they provide this kind of intelligence. The presence of too much uncorrelated, non-actionable data is noise and will slow you down in the struggle to identify and recover from breaches. This is true for small businesses as well as large enterprises.
Getting back to basics by attaching high-value security concerns to all business objectives is the best way to ensure employees can conduct their work safely. Remember: security measures are only truly valuable once you fully appreciate the threats and risks posed to YOUR business. Focus on the most valuable corporate assets first, strengthening, and deepening protection of ancillary systems secondarily, while also using patterns to set policy and compliance standards along the way.
Similarly, if SOC operational analysts are unable to automate routine tasks based on telemetry and intelligence, it's likely because the data isn't effective. Take some time to evaluate your protections. Work to reduce tool sprawl and data overlap. Find tools that leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for attack-pattern recognition across multiple levels of defense, to transform your SOC into a highly effective action center.

Mama ist Gons Mutter und die gute Seele der Familie. Sie trägt einen Leopardenfellanzug und einen Knochen im Haar. Sie ist meistens ruhig, außer wenn ihr Mann wieder mal etwas verbockt hat.
Jane ist ein Mädchen, das in der Nähe wohnt. Sie trägt ein rosa Leopardenfellröckchen und eine blaue Blume im Haar. Jane ist herrschsüchtig, selbstverliebt, äußerst ungeduldig und schreit gerne herum. Dass Gon über beide Ohren in sie verliebt ist, nützt sie aus lässt ihn für sich arbeiten.
Die drei Räuber versuchen sich regelmäßig am Gejagten oder an den Vorräten der Höhlenfamilie zu bereichern, was Gon schlussendlich meist vereiteln kann.
Der Tod wird als reitendes Gerippe auf einem knöchernen Pferd dargestellt, einen langen Stock in der Hand haltend. Immer wenn jemand dem Sterben nahe ist – meistens Papa nach einem missglückten Jagdversuch – taucht er auf. Jedoch schaffen es die Sterbenden immer noch rechtzeitig, dem Tod zu entfliehen.

Pogo? Nick Bertke? Never heard of him. But oh my goodness, I now can't tear my eyes away. Good Lord, this stuff is mesmerizing, hypnotic.
According to Wikipedia: A remix is a piece of media which has been altered from its original state by adding, removing, and/or changing pieces of the item. A song, piece of artwork, book, video, or photograph can all be remixes. The only characteristic of a remix is that it appropriates and changes other materials to create something new.
Nick Bertke or Pogo is a remix artist from Perth, Australia. Fascinating stuff.

YouTube: Data & Picard
A remix of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Temba, his arms wide! In Tamarian this signifies the giving of a gift, first heard in the excellent episode Darmok. Data & Picard is my tribute to one of the greatest TV series of all time. It is an original track featuring the voices of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner), accompanied by a music video I shot entirely in my living room with a green screen and lights.
The track opens with the Klingon Victory Song, followed by a remix of Data singing Che Gelida Manina in the episode 'In Theory'. This episode was the first ever to be directed by Patrick Stewart and I didn't realize this until after the track was finished.
As I said, these videos are hypnotic. You must check out this gentleman's YouTube channel. I can't stop watching "Wizard Of Meh" based on the Wizard of Oz. Wow.
Wikipedia: Pogo (electronic musician)
Christopher Nicholas "Nick" Bertke (born 26 July 1988), better known by his stage name Pogo, is an Australian electronic music artist. His work consists of recording small sounds, quotes, and melodies from a film or TV programme, and sequencing the sounds together to form a new piece of music. In most of his works, the newly created piece of music consists solely of the sounds he samples from those films or scenes, without additional, 'external' music or sound effects.

Pogo (Nick Bertke) is a music producer and remix artist based in Perth, Western Australia. His music has garnered over 110 million plays on YouTube and integration with many major studios and agencies around the world.

A remix is a piece of media which has been altered from its original state by adding, removing, and/or changing pieces of the item. A song, piece of artwork, book, video, or photograph can all be remixes. The only characteristic of a remix is that it appropriates and changes other materials to create something new.
Copyright implications
Because remixes may borrow heavily from an existing piece of music (possibly more than one), the issue of intellectual property becomes a concern. The most important question is whether a remixer is free to redistribute his or her work, or whether the remix falls under the category of a derivative work according to, for example, United States copyright law. Of note are open questions concerning the legality of visual works, like the art form of collage, which can be plagued with licensing issues.

So, now I'm giving you my opinion. My take on the election and where we are. It is not unbiased but it is based 100% in fact. I'm done with this garbage.

Simple, digestible explanations of all things American Politics because it's easier to reengage when you know what's going on.
We'll talk Democrats, Republicans, Independents. I'll explain Caucuses, Primaries, Endorsements, and any key political topic to the 2016 Presidential Election and beyond. Who are the world leaders you should know? Who's the Speaker of the House, the Vice President, Minority Leader? What issues should you be keeping an eye on? Are you conservative or liberal? Do you favor one candidate or another? And why? I won't tell you what to do. I'm not bipartisan but, I'm also not here to sell you on my point of view either. We need facts not spin and I believe the more you know the more engaged you'll be and, the more engaged you are, the more you'll want to vote from that place of knowledge. Our country can do so much better. We deserve more than the infighting and backbiting and congested congress we have now. We need a government that listens to us.

I believe modern voters are too polarized and not well enough informed. We make decisions based on bias and prejudice if we make decisions at all. I believe we can do far better and that change will start with passion and understanding. We need facts not spin and it must come to us in easy to digest, manageable chunks from someone not bought and paid for by one side or the other.

John Green: Understanding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's Tax Plans
Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton: it all comes down to a campaign slogan or an Internet meme. But do any of us truly understand what each candidate is proposing? This election isn't about the issues; it's about character assassination and muckraking. Unfortunately, it's the issues which will haunt us long after the lights are turned out and the confetti is swept up. Rah, rah, sis boom bah. As each of us wildly chant going into the polling booth, I would contend that none of us has a firm grasp of what tomorrow will bring. Good luck. We'll need it.

Confessions of a Republican
Published on Mar 9, 2016 by annabarbara310's channel
YouTube: "Confessions of a Republican" ad from the 1964 presidential election
Wikipedia: Confessions of a Republican
"Confessions of a Republican" was a political advertisement aired on television during the 1964 United States presidential election by incumbent president Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign.
In the advertisement, a jittery man in his late twenties speaks to the camera about his pride in the Republican Party's past, before admitting that he is frightened by Republican nominee Barry Goldwater. He expresses alarm at Goldwater's contradictory, confrontational political views and support from the Ku Klux Klan (the result of his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and says that he is afraid of Goldwater's instability and aggressive approach, and fears that it might lead to a nuclear war with the U.S.S.R.. He explains that he believes that the party is making a great mistake, and that he will be voting for Johnson in the election.
Revisiting the ad
Bogert was interviewed about the ad in 2014, saying that he believed that Tea Party activists had many undesirable attributes in common with Goldwater, and that he had not voted Republican for a long time. The advertisement was the subject of renewed attention in March 2016 because of Donald Trump's success in Republican primaries. Bogert, now 80 years of age, was interviewed again on The Rachel Maddow Show on May 2, 2016 and asked to draw comparisons between Goldwater's 1964 policy stances and Donald Trump's 2016 politics. He appeared in a remake of the advertisement produced by the Hillary Clinton campaign in July 2016 with alterations based on Trump's public statements on nuclear warfare.

John Green: Understanding Donald Trump and Hillary...


Honda are staying quiet on the prospect of becoming engine partners with Red Bull for the 2019 season and beyond.
Red Bull are continuing to have a rocky relationship with current suppliers Renault and no new deal has been agreed with them yet beyond the end of this campaign.
Red Bull were once again irked by Renault at the Chinese Grand Prix after the installation process of Daniel Ricciardo's new engine was held back by the Enstone team.
They did not provide a completely fully dressed engine and left Red Bull mechanics needing to move parts over from the old power unit.
Also taking ongoing reliability concerns into consideration, there is speculation that Red Bull are open to joining forces with Honda if they manage to impress in their first year with junior team Toro Rosso.
Honda, though, were not willing to give any details on a potential deal.
"Toro Rosso is open to new ideas and listen to us attentively," Honda technical boss Toyoharu Tanabe told Auto Hebdo. "We listen to them just as carefully.
"Together we're working hard to achieve our goal.
"I'm focused on this season and on the technical partnership with Toro Rosso.
Red Bull's engine partner for next season is also a factor in Daniel Ricciardo's decision-making process over where he signs a new contract.
He has yet to be contacted by other potential suitors in Mercedes and Ferrari.
It's great to see Aston Martin back in F1. Hopefully they won't pull the plug if Honda comes in.

Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception
Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, also known as Wanjin Catholic Church, has a history stretching back more than 150 years. It is the oldest church in Taiwan and a Grade III historic site. Its history can be traced back to 1861, when the Spanish priest Fernando Sainz came from Kaohsiung to Pingtung to preach, and the church was built 2 years later. In 1874, Emperor Tongzhi personally gifted the church "Imperial Decree" and "Catholic Church" plaques. In 1984, the church was conferred the title "Basilica of the Immaculate Conception" by the Pope John Paul II, making it second only in status to the Vatican in Rome. Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception has a large church bell from Spain and looks like an old Spanish castle. The building was constructed using local gravel, lime, brown sugar, kapok, brick and other materials, making it a unique structure combining both Chinese and Western styles. Arrange a tour to learn more about the influence and importance of religion in local life in Pingtung.

Longpan Park
Longpan Park, an elevated limestone platform, is located in the south-east of Hengchun. Because limestone is easily dissolved by water, the park has an array of strange and interesting landscapes, including limestone caves, sinkholes and cliffs. There are many grassland plants in the area. Take some time out to stroll on the extensive grassland, gaze out over the vast coastline and admire the magnificent beauty of the sea and sky. The natural and primitive landscape and endless views of Longpan Park make it one of the best places to watch sunrise and sunset. Because there's no light pollution, on a clear night at any time of year you'll be able to see the beautiful starry sky just by looking up. You can also see the rarely visible Southern Cross at night from April to June each year. From the gorgeous golden light of sunrise to the soft glow of sunset and the dazzling starry sky at night, this unparalleled beauty is intoxicating to anyone who has lived in the city for a long time.

Alangyi Historic Trail
Alangyi Historic Trail was a section of the Langjiao-Beinan route during the Qing Dynasty. It is the last remaining stretch of coastline in Taiwan that hasn't yet been paved by roads. This 4.9-mile-long (8 kilometres) path is now a part of the Xuhai Guanyinbi Nature Reserve. Alangyi Historic Trail was once used by hunters and pioneers, and is therefore of important historical and cultural value in the context of the development of eastern Taiwan. Because there's no public road here, it has been possible to preserve the primitive natural landscape. You can admire the beautiful blue coastline and the green forest along this historic trail. You'll find many endemic plant and animal species of the Hengchun Peninsula here, such as Asian bayberry, Garcinia multiflora, coconut crabs and green sea turtles, as well as 31 different species of land crab. If you want to explore the secret lands of Taiwan and enjoy the exhilarating experience of hiking where the mountains meet the sea, Alangyi Historic Trail is a great place to visit.

Liangshan Waterfall
Liangshan Waterfall is located in the Liangshan Recreation Area of Majia Township, and has a trail about 0.9 miles (1.5 kilometres) long. The water volume of the waterfall area varies depending on the time of year, with the wet season running from April to October and the dry season from October to March. Liangshan Waterfall is divided into three tiers. The first tier has a gentle water flow with a recreation area, and takes 5 to 10 minutes to reach on foot. Access to the second and the third tiers is more challenging. The momentum of the water of these two tiers is incomparable to the first. The second tier is about 32 feet (10 metres) tall. After navigating some steep steps, you have to grab a rope to descend a 3-storey-high rock face to reach the second tier. The pool here is extremely deep, so swimming is prohibited. The highest tier of the waterfall is by far the most majestic. You can hear the waterfall roar from a distance. To reach this tier, you need to climb some rocks and wade through a stream, which adds to the sense of adventure. If you visit in summer, you'll see plenty of birds and colourful butterflies dancing around you, and schools of small fish swimming in the stream. It's an ideal destination for a half-day tour.

Pingtung Tutorial Academy
Pingtung Tutorial Academy has a history stretching back more than 200 years, and is the only academic building in Pingtung County. The academy was built in 1815 by Wu Xingcheng, the District Magistrate of Fengshan District, among others. In 1895, the Qing Dynasty education and imperial examination system was abolished when Taiwan became a dependency of Japan. The Japanese then turned the academy into a Confucian temple for the veneration of Confucius as well as other sages and disciples. At various points throughout its history, the building was reconstructed, relocated and abandoned ‒ a symbol of how an important historical town became a forgotten place. In 1977, the building was restored, rebuilt and transformed into a Confucian temple until it was renamed "Pingtung Tutorial Academy" in 1988. Outside the gate of the academy stands a tall screen wall bearing the four Chinese characters "九仞宮牆 (Jiu Ren Gong Qiang)", indicating that Confucianism is extremely advanced, and that in order to learn Confucianism, one must do so in the proper way. These characters reflect the spirit of this traditional academy. Although not big, Pingtung Tutorial Academy is a symmetrical quadrangular building. Whether you're interested in its history as an academy or a Confucian temple, this Grade II historic site is an important piece of Taiwan's cultural heritage and well worth a visit.

Linhousilin Forest Park
Linhousilin Forest Park is one of the three largest flatland forest parks in Taiwan. This huge park covers an area of about 2,483 acres (1,005 hectares), with a tree planting area of 1,976 acres (800 hectares). It is home to more than 20 tree species, including flamegold rain tree, big-leaf mahogany, chinaberry, and Formosan ash. Upon entering the park, you'll first go through the long, straight Madagascar almond trail, after which you'll see all kinds of colourful art installations on the hillside, including small mosaic animals and hand-painted pieces of wood produced by local residents, which symbolise the origin of their settlement. If you want to learn more about the recycling of forest resources and the multiethnic culture, you can visit the exhibition area in the visitor centre. You can rent a bike from the visitor centre or explore the endless green forest on foot. Whichever method you choose to get around, you'll be supporting the energy-saving and carbon-reducing goals promoted by the park.

Silin Walking Trail
Silin Walking Trail is also known as Chaozhou Green Tunnel. The trail is lined by around 500 Madagascar almond trees. The 0.7-mile (1.2 kilometres) trail was extended in 2018, and is now 1.49 miles (2.4 kilometres) long and connects to Linhousilin Forest Park. It also has links to local farms and the surrounding shopping districts, driving the development of this area. In recent years, Silin Walking Trail has become very popular with cyclists and is also much loved by local residents. Entering the green tunnel is like walking into a magical green forest from a fairy tale. When the weather is fine, the warm sunlight shines through the leaves, casting its golden rays onto the asphalt and illuminating the vivid green rice fields lining both sides of the road to create a picture-perfect scene. Getting here early on weekends is advised. Whether you come on foot or by bike, a wander through this tree-lined trail revitalises both body and soul.

Fangliao Railway Art Village
Fangliao Railway Art Village, also known as "Fangliao F3 Art Village", is a hidden treasure tucked away near the mountains and the sea. Get off at Fangliao Station, and a short 5-minute walk will take you to the Railway Art Village. "F3" is a portmanteau of "Fangliao" and "Warehouse No. 3". Originally a dormitory for Taiwan Railways Administration employees, it was later rebuilt by the Cultural Affairs Department of Pingtung County Government after a group of young people came up with the idea of creating a space for local arts and culture. Their efforts ultimately led to the opening of the venue in 2002. Since its opening, Fangliao Art Village has attracted many local artists, who have produced numerous artworks in disciplines such as wood carving, stone carving, music, printmaking, puppetry, installation art as well as other artistic creations. Although not very big, the Art Village is extremely popular with the many young people who come to visit. From the large landscape painting at the entrance to the stone carvings on the ground and the art installation featuring mosaic cows, the entire area is filled with colour and creativity. Art exhibitions are held from time to time, and there are workshops where you get to create your very own work of art.

Open: Tuesday to Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm (closed on Mondays). Hours vary by store.
Chaozhou Japanese Historical Architecture Cultural Park
Chaozhou Japanese Historical Architecture Cultural Park is a Japanese-style building complex in Chaozhou Township, Pingtung County. It has a history spanning nearly a hundred years, and is the place where the 1898 "Lin Shao Mao Anti-Japanese Incident" took place. After the end of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the building became the dormitory of the Directorate General of Highways, and was known as the "new highway village" among older Chaozhou residents. No longer in use since 1995, most of the beams, pillars and roof tiles of the dormitory were damaged and required restoration. A major restoration project was therefore undertaken, and the first phase was finally completed in November 2018, when the building was reopened with the name of "Chaozhou Japanese Historical Architecture Cultural Park". The only reminder of the Lin Shao Mao Anti-Japanese Incident, the "Junsa Goto Matsujiro Monument", remains in the park to this day, and the three restored buildings now serve as a tourist information centre, mini-exhibition and salon space, and large exhibition space. This park is well worth a day trip if you're interested in learning more about the life story of Lin Shao Mao, an anti-Japanese hero of early Taiwan.

The origin of the name "Coos" is open to discussion. It means "lake" and "place of the pines" in a Native American Language of the nation's east coast. According to historians, the explanation has been around so long it has gained almost universal acceptance. Several Native American tribes claimed the Coos Bay Region as their ancestral homelands for thousands of years before Europeans first visited the Oregon coast. Members of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, Siuslaw and Coquille tribes lived, hunted, fished and gathered food along the bay and its estuaries, area rivers, and in the forests and meadows.
British and Spanish sea captains made the first approaches to the South Coast beginning about 400 years ago. Sir Francis Drake is said to have sought shelter for the Golden Hinde somewhere near Cape Arago in 1579, but few white explorers visited the region by land until the 1820's. Legendary trader and adventurer Jedediah Smith journeyed through the region seeking furs and Hudson's Bay company dispatched Alexander McLeod to search for an inland passage.
The area remained largely unknown to Euro-Americans until the 1852 stranding of the schooner Captain Lincoln on the North Spit. The survivors' 4-month encampment and subsequent rescue the brought attention of gold prospectors who came to seek their fortune from beach placer mining. The Coos Bay Commercial Company arrived the following year from the Rogue Valley to open the wilderness to settlers. They established Empire City, the county seat of government until 1896.
Early on, entrepreneurs were drawn to the area's waterways, forests and fertile valleys. Sawmills and shipyards at Old Town North Bend and Empire City fueled economic development and brought workers and their families. Bay towns provided early commercial hubs for transportation systems reaching inland as well as a home for the Mosquito Fleet of small boats. Rivers and sloughs served as highways for transporting agricultural, forest and coal products as well as carrying people to and from town. Early promoters, in fact, called the Coos region the "Venice of the West". Coal mining and salmon canning helped build the economy along with timber harvesting and production, shipbuilding and farming.
Immigrants of pioneer days came from Canada, the British Isles, Germany, Austria and a host of other far-flung lands. One of the best known was Gow Why, a Chinese man who sold vegetables door to door before opening his own grocery store in Marshfield (Coos Bay). The Scandinavian-American Bank, Suomi Society and Scandia Shipbuilding Company reflected the prevalence of Swedes and Finns.
Before the mid 1910's, difficulties of fording rivers and crossing the Coast Range isolated the Coos region from the rest of Oregon. The Pacific Ocean became the regional link to the outside world. A journey to San Francisco by sailing ship took 48 hours and was easier and more comfortable than the 150 mile, 3 day trip inland to Eugene via Scottsburg and Drain by steamer and stage coach. Establishing passenger and freight rail service to the interior valleys in 1916 –"Where Rail Meets Sail"–opened this region to widespread commercial trade and tourism.
San Francisco were coming to an end. The first lumber shipment destined directly for a foreign port left in 1922, bound for Japan.
The 1930's – 1950's brought about major changes. Shipyards contracted with the U.S. Government to build minesweepers and rescue tugs for World War II defense purposes. Large national lumber companies set up operations and expanded significantly for the next two decades. Jetty improvements, commercial fishing and crabbing shaped the development of Charleston.The completion of the Coos Bay Bridge (now McCullough Memorial Bridge) in 1936 and the Roosevelt Highway significantly improved modern transportation connections and provided the final link in opening the Coos region to the outside world. The formerly remote district known as the Coos Bay country had come of age.

Q: Display appears different on two accounts using same color profile I have 2 accounts on my Mac Pro both are using the same color display profile however on my account it is clearly a lot brighter. I can test this by switching between the 2 accounts with the same image open in both accounts. On account A you can see the light shades of gray on account B the light shades of gray are missing and it just looks solid white.
I removed everything from account B's startup items and looked at the processes running on a clean boot into both accounts and the only differences are processes I expect to make no difference (mysql, perl etc.)
When I login into the account B (with the problem) that does have the problem I see the brightness change 2 times before finder and the rest of the desktop starts, whereas logging into account A doesn't seem to do this.
I would like to know what is causing this and stop it as it's very annoying.

A: It sounds like a color profile issue.
Does account "B" have any custom color profiles installed in ~/Library/ColorSync/ ? If so try moving them out of that folder (to the Desktop, Trash, or wherever) then log out and back in to see if that helps.


My PowerLine connection isn't working with my Bluesound Player?
If you have connected your BluOS Player to its Ethernet connection using a Powerline Ethernet kit and you noticed that it is not appearing in your BluOS App, please attempt to connect the Player directly to your router or home Ethernet connection to make sure that the issue is with the Powerline kit and not the router or BluOS Player.
1. Make sure that there is a direct connection between the two Powerline units, from outlet to your circuit breaker to outlet. Powerstrips, Power Conditioners or UPS Batteries can cause interference that stresses or stops a Powerline connection. Please avoid these.
2. Note the distance between the two Powerline units and include the distance to the circuit breaker. In larger homes, this length may be too much for a Powerline connection to work under. Generally speaking Ethernet connections can break down if the length of the wire exceeds 100m. This 100m is not line of sight but the actual length of the wires as they run through the walls and around corners.
3. Contact your Powerline Manufacturer's Support Team to ensure you have installed it correctly.


Mexico City – Where is Lydia?
My last few days in Mexico City have been full of sightseeing and walking – lots and lots of walking.
I have been spending my days with a new friend named Cinthia. She contacted me before my trip through Couchsurfing. Cinthia has some experience traveling alone, so she reached out to offer her help.
I woke up starving – probably from all the walking we had done the day prior. I set out to find a delicious meal of street food for breakfast. My morning routine has been to get street food for breakfast from a different location each time and then wander around until I get lost. Thank god for Google maps.

Typhoon hits Japan…. Again
Posted on Posted on October 3, 2018 January 18, 2019 CategoriesAll, Featured, News No comments
The Japanese archipelago was hit by another typhoon that left at four people dead and 200 others injured while disrupting traffic in wide areas including Tokyo during morning rush hours.
The typhoon, named Trami, travelled northeast towards the biggest of the main islands of Honshu when it made landfall in western Japan the previous night, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
It disrupted morning commuter traffic in the capital region, forcing public transportation operators to shut down their services Sunday in central, eastern and western Japan. Japan's capital, Tokyo, resumed transportation services on Monday morning for safety checks.
https://www.news.com.au
Train stations in Japan were overcrowded in the morning as services remained disrupted following massive cancellations since the day before, while many flights were canceled through Monday.
A Keio Line train collided with a wall that had collapsed over a railway in the capital's Setagaya Ward around 4:45 a.m. All 70 passengers reported no injuries, and its operator Keio Corp. resumed services about four hours later. East Japan Railway Co. and all its train services closed around the metro on Sunday evening and had only resumed them partially by 9 a.m. Monday. They said it was the first time it had stopped services early in Tokyo and surrounding areas after informing the public of its plans beforehand.
Central Japan Railway Co. stopped all bullet trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka after 5 p.m. Sunday. The services were resumed around 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Kansai International Airport in Osaka, which was temporarily crippled by a typhoon in early September, reopened at 6 a.m., although many of the flights scheduled in the morning had been canceled.
Airlines including Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways canceled many flights Monday as well because massive cancellations of flights the previous day made it difficult for them to arrange aircraft.
Last month, Typhoon Jebi flooded a terminal and a runway at Kansai airport, built on an artificial island, and caused a tanker to smash into and damage a bridge connecting the airport to the mainland, stranding thousands of people at the airport at one point.

Jim - I'm still confused how to post a question to go out to all. Is that not yet available or am I missing it?
Three things: 1) we have got to find a better title than "Junior Member", 2) if I understand it correctly, to use spell check you have to download a program? and 3) I initially submitted my "informal" picture but after seeing yours I uploaded my "formal" picture. The formal picture shows up on my profile but my informal shows up on my post. What do I need to do to correct it? Thanks. Again, great job!

Q: Error joining peer to channel, using Hyperledger Fabric example Working with the examples provided by the composer tools, what I get from the following link.
https://github.com/hyperledger/composer-tools/tree/master/packages/fabric-dev-servers
I was able to run the downloadFabric.sh file and get the docker images that I need to start the fabric network, after this, I run the startFabric.sh file and after a while, everything was working fine.
Now, I am trying to create my custom fabric network and what I did was edit the yaml files to use my configuration to generate the certs, the artifacts, and the docker container images.
I successfully change the files and start the network.
Then I proceed to create a channel and then join all the peers or at least the anchor peers to the channel, but doing this I got an error.
The first peer was able to join the channel but the second peer fails.
This is the error that I got.
2018-03-13 23:13:31.737 UTC [main] main -> ERRO 001 Cannot run peer because cannot init crypto, missing /etc/hyperledger/fabric/users/Admin@manufacture.example.com/msp folder

I don't know what this error means, but looking for an answer I found the following article with a possible solution.
Cannot run peer because cannot init crypto
I tried but no luck.
At this point, I don't know what could be the real reason for this error.
If you want to replicate this problem just download the following repository and run 2 files.
https://github.com/osvaldovega/blockchain-fabric

*

*downloadFabric.sh

*startFabric.sh

The startFabric.sh is a file that I customize to do all this for me and then I don't have to execute the commands manually.
If you want you can check the startFabric.sh script and see what the functions execute.
The first command that I execute to join the first peers is this.

docker exec -e CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=peer0.portal.example.com:7051 -e
  CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID='PortalMSP' -e
  CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE=/etc/hyperledger/fabric/tls/ca.crt -e
  CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH=/etc/hyperledger/fabric/users/Admin@portal.example.com/msp
  peer0.portal.example.com peer channel join -b composerchannel.block

This command works fine, however when I try to join the second peer for the second member is when I got the error.
The command is pretty similar.

docker exec -e CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=peer0.manufacture.example.com:7051 -e
  CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID='ManufactureMSP' -e
  CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE=/etc/hyperledger/fabric/tls/ca.crt -e
  CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH=/etc/hyperledger/fabric/users/Admin@manufacture.example.com/msp
  peer0.portal.example.com peer channel join -b composerchannel.block

I know that the peer in this case should be peer0.manufacture.example.com however if I change it to this peer the error message is.
2018-03-14 16:29:50.122 UTC [msp] GetLocalMSP -> DEBU 001 Returning existing local MSP 2018-03-14 16:29:50.122 UTC [msp] GetDefaultSigningIdentity -> DEBU 002 Obtaining default signing identity 2018-03-14 16:29:50.124 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized Error: genesis block file not found open composerchannel.block: no such file or directory

But if I use the peer peer0.portal.example.com which is the peer that I used to create the channel I get this original error.
2018-03-14 16:32:08.995 UTC [main] main -> ERRO 001 Cannot run peer because cannot init crypto, missing /etc/hyperledger/fabric/users/Admin@manufacture.example.com/msp folder

Thanks.

Le festival Toka Ebisu se déroule du 9 au  dans la région du Kansai, principalement dans le sanctuaire d'Imamiya Ebisu, fondé au  à Osaka. Près d'un million de pèlerins s'y rendent, chaque année, afin de s'attirer la bénédiction du dieu Ebisu, familièrement appelé « Ebessan » dans le dialecte du Kansai, .

Divinités vénérées

Ebisu est une divinité particulièrement vénérée au Japon. Il assure le bonheur et la réussite en affaires et la prospérité. Naguère les marchands et pèlerins traversaient le pont Ebisu, long de  sur une largeur de . Spécialement construit en 1615, il permettait aux pèlerins d'enjamber le canal Dōtonbori afin qu'ils puissent accéder au .

Associé à Daikokuten, le dieu de la fortune Ebisu est souvent représenté transportant une morue ou un bar. Il est fêté le  (le  à Ōsaka). Cette fête shinto, qui remonte au , est devenue aujourd'hui une fête commerciale.

Festival Toka Ebisu
La tradition du festival remonte de l'époque d'Edo (1603-1868) lorsque la cité marchande de Osaka était à l'apogée de la prospérité. Il se déroule durant les trois jours selon le calendrier suivant : le  est le jour du réveillon d'Ebisu, le 10, celui du festival proprement dit, et le 11 est « la dernière chance de la chance ».

La journée du 10 marque le temps fort du festival. Des stands sont dressés pour la vente de gâteaux de riz, de porte-bonheur comme les statuettes de Daruma ou les chats maneki-neko. C'est surtout le grand marché aux poissons qui attire les visiteurs friands de la populaire daurade, le poisson servi durant les festivités.

La journée voit se dérouler le défilé du « palanquin de la chance », en présence des personnalités de la ville, accompagnées d'une escorte de geishas et fuku-musume (« jeunes filles de la chance »). Elles offrent aux visiteurs des présents, tels que des branches de bambou décorées de nombreuses amulettes et d'imitation d'anciennes pièces d'or ovales, de daurades ou des balles de riz.

I've been to several of ALTs OER conferences, next week in Galway will be my third year on the trot. Last year's conference was one of my all time favourites, as I wrote just after it, I found it challenging in making me consider aspects of OER outside of my normal thinking along with some very useful contacts and discussions about what I could contribute. I am really looking forward to travelling across to Galway for what promises to be more of the same quality in OER19. Here are my plans from the looking through the programme. Think of it as getting my reflections in first. I don't know if this is a good idea, I mean I'm bound to offend by omission, apologies for having to miss out so much that's good.
Kate Bowles' opening keynote looks like it will touch on issues of sustainability and recognition of work in open education that I think are important. I'm looking forward to learning more about what she means by a "language of crisis that is generative".
Of the sessions beginning 10:30 my default looks like the strand that deals with Open Textbooks (look there's that word sustainability again) and Open Scotland. These are topics that I know about and work in. But gosh, there's a lot that I'll miss in the other sessions, like the role of MOOCs, diversity, citizen science, finding out more about OpenETC. Need a clone.
For the next session, I think I'll take a step out of my comfort zone, and find out about OEP in Australian Aboriginal, South Africa and Latin American cultures. Presentations on similar topics / by these people were among my unexpected highlights from last year. This means missing the representation in wikipedia and wikidata session which looks really important, but it's an area I think I can keep up with elsewhere.
The #FemEdTech open space is a session that I have been looking forward to. I love the work that #FemEdTech are doing, and this session is being run by some of my favourite people, I'm thoroughly intrigued by what it will be. It is followed by a Virtually Connecting session. I've been aware of Virtually Connecting for a couple of years, but have never connected; this seems like an omission I should address.
Then there's a cluster of presentation Open source hardware, institutional repositories for OER and the OER policy map that I think I will go to. I play a bit with hardware, have opinions about repositories, and would like to know more about policies around the world. But missing the "what exactly is @FemEdTech" will be a hard hit… And designing for an ideal HE future looks like a good idea. argh, this is getting difficult.
Well, there's a plenary keynote after that so a break from the agony of choice. Not much detail yet, but the title and presenters are promising.
For the final session I will go to find out "who are we missing?" on closed-open communities, which sounds like it could have some ideas that go well beyond OER (well, at least as far as Open Source and Open Standards development); and Helen Beetham's "trouble with critical" as teaching critical thinking is one of the things I have missed since leaving academia. That takes us to after 6pm. This is going to be hard work.
It looks the day 2 opening plenary will once again stretch me by viewing OER from perspective I am not accustomed to. Good.
Next I see presentations on Crowd-sourcing an Untextbook and I am interested in textbooks, crowd-sourcing and unconferences, so that could be interesting; but it's on at the same time as a session with a couple of presentations about on repositories and sustainability, and in another session there is a presentation on OSS in an educational technology course that I think I might relate to.
In the next session I see a workshop from my friends at Edinburgh University and I really like the approach there of putting open education at the core of University business, so I think that is an easy choice, but there is also a session on open platforms of OER at the same time about the equally interesting work at CUNY that I know less about. Probably I should take advantage of that and hope that Stuart Anne-Marie and Lorna will still talk to me. Either way I am going to miss a presentation that focuses on OER at Elementary and Middle schools, which is a real shame as I really want to see more about OER outwith higher education.
After lunch, I am really intrigued by How I lost my faith in OER and the Serfs of Open it is in a session that also includes a presentation on H5P, one of my favourite OER/WordPress initiatives. That mean missing a session on Open Education at second level in Ireland and Recentering the open, which otherwise would be a shoo-in.
Then I think I will go to the session on governmental OER initiatives and sustainability, which I have some experience in, OER funding models and the Open as Commons "Business Model". I did a MOOC a couple of weeks ago on the Unbundled University that I think might have prepared me a little for the last one. There was a lot about business models in that. I'm disappointed to be missing the session on Open publishing practices.
For the last session, I think I might go to the decolonize OER/Open session. That seems like a really timely topic that follows on from some of the reflections from last years OER very nicely.
Well, that's a plan. Watch this space for the summary of how it survives.

I row for Henley Rowing Club and the season for this rowing year began in early September. My first competition was the British Rowing Senior Championships on 21 October. I raced in the women's quads category, which meant that we were competing against Olympic medallists and world champions. Our sub category was the women's U19 quads and after the time trial, which was raced over 1900m, we placed 9th overall out of all the entries. This meant we progressed to the A/B semi-finals, for the top 12 crews, which were held over 2000m. We placed 4th in our semi-final, racing against senior athletes, which put us in the B final for the last race of the day. We won the B final by 3 lengths, making us the fastest U19 and the fastest U23 women's quad of the day and placing 6th overall out of all the competitors on time achieved.
Shortly after Senior Championships I had my first GB rowing team assessment, and have been invited to the GB Early I.D. Assessment on 17 November. I was also invited to the GB Potentials Camp which was held over four days at the National Water Sports Centre from 26–30 October; this invitation was based on last year's performance. There are a number of further GB Rowing team assessments and trials throughout the year which will hopefully lead to selection later on in the season.
The next major competition, that my same quad competed at, was the Fullers Fours Head of the River race on the Tideway in London on 3 November. We competed in the Championship Junior Women's quad category over a 6.4km course. The race consists of one continuous time trial. In my category there was a field of 40 boats, which we managed to beat, in order to take home the title of Junior Women's quads.
Future events will include Schools Head, National Schools Regatta, Henley Women's Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta.

Spandau Berlin egyik kerülete, ill. városrésze. Eredetileg önálló település volt és története korábbra nyúlik vissza, mint Berliné.

Már 1223-ban is városi rangja volt, önállóságát egészen 1920-ig, az ún. Nagy-Berlin kialakításáig megőrizte.

Történelmi városmagja a Havel folyó egy szigete, itt található az 1410-ben épített Szent Miklós-templom is. Nevezetessége a spandaui citadella.

A városrész börtönében tartották fogva 1946-tól a nürnbergi perben szabadságvesztésre ítélt náci főbűnösöket. 1987-ben az utolsó elítélt, Rudolf Heß halála után a börtönt lebontották.

Története

Körülbelül a hetedik század óta a Havel folyó vidékén sprevánok és hevelliek (szláv törzsek) telepedtek meg. Ők építették a környék első földvárát a mai Spandau környékén, valószínűleg azon a szigeten, ahol most a citadella áll. Később I. Henrik kelet felé kezdett terjeszkedni, mivel a mai Brandenburg ekkoriban még nem volt német, azaz germán nyelvterület és 930-ban elfoglalta a szlávok fontos földvárát, Spandauban. Ekkor a korábbi föld- ill. palánkvár helyén kővárat kezdtek építeni, ez azonban csak 1197-ben került először említésre II. Ottó őrgróf egy okiratában. ("Everardus advocatus in Spandowe"). Az oklevél ma a Brandenburg an der Havel-i Szent Péter és Pál székesegyházának Dómmúzeumában található.
