Bay Area Guide Dogs star in new Disney+ docuseries
By Anna Trinidad
Guide Dogs for the Blind is a San Rafael nonprofit organization that breeds, trains, and partners guide dogs with people who need them.
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (KTVU) - A San Rafael-based nonprofit is the subject of a new docuseries out now on Disney+. Each of the six half-hour episodes of "Pick of the Litter" follows the work done at Guide Dogs for the Blind, which breeds, trains and partners guide dogs with people who need them.
The group's goal is simple: "To give independence to people who are blind or visually impaired," says Guide Dogs for the Blind CEO, Christine Benninger. "We do that through the use of a well-trained service dog."
But achieving that goal is a lot of work. It involves puppy raisers like Cordelia Wolf, who teaches the dogs basic house manners and exposes them to real life scenarios. "We follow protocol about what she can be exposed to," Wolf says. "She's been on the ferry, the smart train."
Then comes the real guide dog training, which takes several months and the cooperation of both the dog and the handler. "It's a teamwork process, where the dog is there to guide them around obstacles," says trainer Jeff Grey. "But it's the individual handler that's leading the team, giving directions, knowing where they're going to be going."
Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds about 900 puppies per year, but only about a third of the dog and handler teams graduate. Graduate Janni Lehrer-Stein says all that work was worth it for her three-year-old black labrador retriever, Shiloh. "Meeting and getting to know and being a partner with Shiloh has completely changed my life," she says, calling him her protector, her travel partner and her companion. "When his harness is on, he takes his job of safeguarding me and helping me navigate the world very seriously. But when his harness is off he is an adorable, cuddly, playful puppy."
The "Pick of the Litter" docuseries comes one year after the release of the successful, feature-length documentary with the same name. Guide Dogs for the Blind is grateful for the recognition, which has helped them get the donations and volunteers they need to continue offering their services free of charge. But Benninger acknowledges the impact is much greater than that. "It also raised visibility around blindness," she says, "so it's not just the poor blind person. It's the amazing teams working together, and everything you can accomplish as someone with a visual impairment working with a guide dog."

Q: Backbone.js Bootstrapping collections: How much is too much? In Backbone when bootstrapping collections, how do I determine what is too much? Would it be a bad idea to bootstrap 10,000 member records and 300,000 photo records? I'm not sure how to decide how much is too much.

A: If all you're doing is displaying the content, just bootstrap enough to fill a generous size page and lazy load the rest. If you're doing something interactive (e.g. sorting or filtering) in the browser, then you might still be able to get away with that strategy, provided that

*

*users will typically want to at least glance at the data for a few seconds before activating a sort or filter, and

*your server is fast enough to fill in the remaining items (after the first "page-full") in that time.

The best app for recording games from web browsers!
Web Recorder allows you to record, save and share your videos with your friends via different social platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
-Easy to use: Just tap the record button before you play the game.
-Easy to share: Videos are saved automatically for sharing.
-Multiple functions: Bookmarks and Favorites are available for easy access to specific sites.
Download Web Recorder now and get ready to be impressive!
I might be impatient, but I don't trust this app at all.
This app did not crash until I attempted to save the video. I don't have too much of an opinion other than it is a little "fishy". The top review states that he/she is NOT a developer of the app, which probably means they are if they really do have to mention that. I am also curious about how the generic the reviews are. I question if the developer is putting reviews on the app. The app in general is a little fishy as well. The first thing I noticed was the 17+ symbol at the top, might not be a problem, though. I downloaded the app and was surprised at how fast the download was, which definitely is not an issue. I next was curious about the design, showing google. I pressed record to try to see if it would not crash, and since it didn't, I continued to go to safari and scrolled to make around a 15 second video. I stopped the recording, and visited the "saved video" page. It crashed. I don't know why the developer is not trying to fix it, and instead might be posting reviews on the app page. Having it crash every single time defeats the purpose of the app. I tried again, and it didn't work, continuing my suspicions of the developer. If the app crashes, defeating the purpose of the app, the developer should be fixing it rather then trying to convince users that "it works" and "they are being impatient". I certainly do NOT recommend this app.
I read a lot of people's reviews but I noticed the problem. You guys keep saying that the app crashes, and it doesn't save your videos but I think I know the problem. When I first tried it, it did crash and didn't save my video but then I tried it the second time and it worked perfectly fine. I just think you people are just inpatient and wouldn't give an app another chance if it just crashes once. In conclusion, you should always give something a second chance and this app REALLY works, I promise I'm not somebody that works for the company.
The purpose of the app is to record your progress on a website. That's why when you open the app, it has the Google search bar. So if you want to record you searching up something, this is the kind of app for you. My suggestion is that they should let people leave the app, go to their game, and press record. It will only let you save if you were recording while you were on the app. It won't let you record and leave the app. You can only save your video if you were on the app. When you try to record your games and press save, it will glitch out.

Galt Looks At New Anti-Gang Program
Police in Galt are urging city officials to approve a new program aimed at stopping the rise in gang activity.
The police department's proposal to form a special team enforcement program or STEP comes after the violent deaths of two Galt teens in the past three months.
Police Lieutenant Jim Uptegrove says gangs, drugs and graffiti are a problem.
"I wouldn't say it's reached epidemic proportions but we do want to get a handle on it and start to be able to control it before it does get out of hand."
Uptegrove says STEP would include hiring a crime prevention officer and two, full-time police officers.
"Between that core group we will be able to reach out to the community, provide enforcement and also provide an educational facet to the program as well."
STEP would also go cost about $230,000 for the first year. The plan is scheduled to be discussed at Tuesday's city council meeting.

Q: PIL Open image, causing DecompressionBombError, with lower resolution I have a problem_page  such that
from PIL import Image

problem_page = "/home/rajiv/tmp/kd/pss-images/f1-577.jpg"
img = Image.open(problem_page)

results in
PIL.Image.DecompressionBombError: Image size (370390741 pixels) exceeds limit of 178956970 pixels, could be decompression bomb DOS attack.

I'd like to respect the limit and not increase the limit (as described here: Pillow in Python won't let me open image ("exceeds limit"))
How can I load it in a way that the resolution is lowered just below the limit and the lower resolution image is referenced in img without causing any error.
It'd be great to have a Python solution but if not, any other solution will work too.
Update(to answer questions in comments):
These images are derived from PDFs to do machine learning(ML). These PDFs come from outside the system. So we have to protect our system from possible decompression bombs. For most ML, pixel size requirements are well below the limit imposed by PIL so we are ok with that limit as a heuristic to protect us.
Our current option is to use pdf2image which converts pdfs to images and specify a pixel size (e.g. width=1700 pixels, height=2200 pixels) there but I was curious if this can be done at the point of loading an image.

Remembering Black Mamba: Reactions to Kobe Bryant's Shocking Death
Tyler Josefsenon January 26, 2020 /1 comment

Reports came pouring in early Sunday afternoon that Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash. There was a frenzy of disbelief on Twitter as fans, celebrities and athletes caught wind of the news and expressed their condolences about Bryant's sudden unexpected passing.
According to the LA Times, the crash occurred on Jan. 26 shortly before 10 a.m. near Las Virgenes Road in California. Bryant was one of nine killed in the crash including his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.
Bryant played all 20 years of his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers, during which time he was an 18-time All-Star and five-time NBA champion. He won an MVP in 2008 and was the NBA Finals MVP in 2009 and 2010. He finished his career with 33,643 points, 7,047 rebounds and 6,306 assists and is expected to be elected into the Hall of Fame in 2021.
Bryant is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and their three surviving children: Natalia (17 years old), Bianka (3 years old) and Capri Kobe Bryant who is less than a year old.

I was at home when I heard the news, around 8pm GMT. I'd just sat down on the sofa for a rest and opened the Instagram app to see a photo of Kobe Bryant and something like 'RIP to the greatest' from another NBA player. I was a bit confused, but didn't want to make any assumptions to opened BBC News where the headline was 'NBA Legend Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash'.
It's the first time in my life that I've been saddened to the brink of tears on hearing of the death of somebody I never met.
When I was younger a family friend got me into basketball. It's not that big in the UK. At the time Michael Jordan was at his prime and I loved watching Michael play. Then I remember seeing a young kid - who probably looked the same age as me at the time, ~13 - playing for the LA Lakers and that was it, from that moment on I was a Lakers and Kobe fan.
Since my mid-teens he's been my idol. He was the greatest player ever to me, and really seems to be a good guy away from the game too.

The Shrimp Girl
about 1740-5
Bought, 1884
Art route(s)
Hogarth certainly painted this sketch from life, and although he may never have known the girl's name, this is defiynitely a portrait of an individual. For at least a century before and after Hogarth painted The Shrimp Girl, most of the travelling sellers of shellfish in London were women, usually the daughters or wives of fishmongers in Billingsgate Fish Market.
Hogarth sketched a half-pint measure in the basket balanced on his shrimp girl's head. A few darker shells suggest that she also sells mussels, and perhaps cockles, as well as shrimps. She wears a dark sou'wester, a hat traditionally worn by fisherman, and a cloak, probably of oilskin, but nothing can dim the sense of life and character she radiates.
The Shrimp Girl appears unique among Hogarth's single-figure oil sketches in being painted from life, spontaneously and for its own sake. The speed with which it was painted adds to its sense of truth and liveliness.
For at least a century before and after Hogarth painted The Shrimp Girl, most of the travelling sellers of shellfish in London were women, usually the daughters or wives of fishmongers in the market. The women would set out from Billingsgate Fish Market dressed in oilskin cloaks and sou'westers, a hat traditionally worn by fisherman, with the shellfish in a basket balanced on their heads. They would go through the London streets calling out which shellfish they had for sale and how much they cost per half-pint.
Hogarth sketched a half-pint measure in his shrimp girl's basket. A few darker shells suggest that she also sells mussels, and perhaps cockles, as well as shrimps. She wears a dark hat and cloak, probably of oilskin, but nothing can dim the sense of life and character she radiates. Her lips are spread in a smile – or perhaps she's talking – and we can see her teeth, which is unusual in portraits of the time and adds to the image's feeling of truth and immediacy. After Hogarth's death, when some critics tried to lessen his reputation, Mrs Hogarth reputedly liked to show visitors this picture and comment: 'They say he could not paint flesh and blood. There's flesh and blood for you: – them!'
Although Hogarth may never have known the girl's name, this painting is certainly a portrait. Compared with the pictures of pretty street sellers which became popular some 50 years later, such as John Hoppner's Girl with Sallad (Colby College Art Museum, Waterville, Maine, USA), exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1782, and Francis Wheatley's Itinerant Trades of London, engraved 1793–5, Hogarth's image is direct and unpatronising. He recognises that the 'Shrimp Girl' is an individual in her own right, and does not presume to tidy her up.
We do not know of any similar single-figure oil sketches by Hogarth. The Shrimp Girl appears unique in being painted from life, spontaneously and for its own sake. It is thinly painted, without using many layers of paint to build up the forms, and the ground is still visible in many places. Particularly in the girl's dress and cloak, Hogarth's brushstrokes are broad, rough and unblended, in places looking almost as though he's scrubbed the canvas with his brush. The speed with which the picture was painted adds to its feeling of liveliness.
The Shrimp Girl remained in Hogarth's studio during the last 20 years or so of his life. He did not add a single brushstroke to her image, as he believed that 'if a thing is good, the action and the passion may be more truly and distinctly conveyed by a coarse bold stroke than the most delicate finishing'.

Q: How to append key value to the result of factory()->make() in Laravel? I am writting a Test Case.
Lets say there is a Threads model with fields: user_id, title, body
So to test wheather submitting the Thread works, I am doing this:
$user = factory('App\User')->create();
$thread = factory('App\Thread')->make(['user_id' => $user->id]);
$this->post('/threads', $thread->toArray());

$this->get('/thread/'.$thread->id)
            ->assertSee($thread->title)

But I have yet another field that I want to post along with the thread which is not part of the thread model.
eg.
community => 'some_community'

So how do I append another field before posting the array to /threads.
How can I append key value pair to the result of make() ???

A: You can use the data_set function:
$thread = factory('App\Thread')->make(['user_id' => $user->id]);
$payload = $thread->toArray();

$this->post('/threads', data_set($payload, 'community', 'some_community'));


How does your rod come to me?
Since I live in Kuurne near by Kortrijk in Belgium it is not always obvious to bring your rod(s) to me, nowadays with the high fuel prices or distance.
But Bpost doesn't take tubes (PVC pipe) longer than 1.50 m, Therefore I've looked for a transporter that nevertheless carries longer lengths and this is GLS.
See the GLS website for the correct rates via their Parcel Shops in your area.
All you have to do is make sure that the rod(s) is/are good protected packed in a solid PVC tube.
If necessary, make sure that they are in a sleeve and that the tube is not too wide. Fill the empty spaces with, bubble wrap or newspaper clogs.
Seal the tube well with a sturdy lid (a piece of cardboard) and strong adhesive tape (duck tape).
Sending and returning cost is of course at the expense of the owner.

Q: how to remove duplicate text records from mysql table I have two columns in my mysql table words and name of these columns are wordid which is primary key and other column is lemma.
I need to remove duplicate values of lemma from the table. Please tell me how can I do it with MySQL command. here is a sample of my table.
wordid    ||  lemma

+--------+--------------------+

 148206  || wilful disobedience

 149162  || wilful disobedience

 149857 || wilful disobedience

A: The easiest way to do this is to add a UNIQUE index on the lemma column. Include the IGNORE into the ALTER statement, so all the duplicates will be removed. Note that the next inserts with duplicates will throw an error.
ALTER IGNORE TABLE words
ADD UNIQUE INDEX idx_lemma (lemma);

A: You can do this in once by using the following query:
delete * from table_name where wordid not in (select wordid from table_name group by lemma)

The inner query will select the first wordid for each lemma and ignore the repeated.
The outer query will delete all the rows which do not have word id from result of inner query. It will delete all other rows having repeated lemma.

A: You could use a delete from inner join with subselect form get the wordid to not delete
  delete from  my_table a
  inner join  (
    select wordid
    from my_table
    group by lemma
    having count(*) >1
  )  t  on a.wordid = t.word.id
  where wordid not in (  select wordid_to_delete
    from (
          select min(wordid) as wordid_to_delete
          from my_table
          group by lemma
          having count(*)>1
     ) t2

  )

A: The first step is to identify which rows have duplicate primary key values:
      SELECT col1, col2, count(*)
       FROM t1
      GROUP BY col1, col2
       HAVING count(*) > 1

This will return one row for each set of duplicate PK values in the table. The last column in this result is the number of duplicates for the particular PK value.
If there are only a few sets of duplicate PK values, the best procedure is to delete these manually on an individual basis. For example:
    set rowcount 1
     delete from t1
      where col1=1 and col2=1

The rowcount value should be n-1 the number of duplicates for a given key value.
If there are many distinct sets of duplicate PK values in the table, it may be too time-consuming to remove them individually. In this case the following procedure can be used:
-- First, run the above GROUP BY query to determine how many sets of duplicate PK values exist, and the count of duplicates for each set.
-- Select the duplicate key values into a holding table. For example:
     SELECT col1, col2, col3=count(*)
        INTO holdkey
    FROM t1
     GROUP BY col1, col2
     HAVING count(*) > 1

-- Select the duplicate rows into a holding table, eliminating duplicates in the process. For example:
      SELECT DISTINCT t1.*
    INTO holddups
     FROM t1, holdkey
    WHERE t1.col1 = holdkey.col1
    AND t1.col2 = holdkey.col2

At this point, the holddups table should have unique PKs, however, this will not be the case if t1 had duplicate PKs.  For example,
Delete the duplicate rows from the original table. For example:
     DELETE t1
     FROM t1, holdkey
    WHERE t1.col1 = holdkey.col1
    AND t1.col2 = holdkey.col2

Put the unique rows back in the original table. For example:
     INSERT t1 SELECT * FROM holddups

Hope this helps!

Q: Is there any reason for giving self a default value? I was browsing through some code, and I noticed a line that caught my attention. The code is similar to the example below
class MyClass:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def call_me(self=''):
        print(self)

This looks like any other class that I have seen, however a str is being passed in as default value for self.
If I print out self, it behaves as normal
>>> MyClass().call_me()
<__main__.MyClass object at 0x000002A12E7CA908>

This has been bugging me and I cannot figure out why this would be used. Is there any reason to why a str instance would be passed in as a default value for self?

A: Not really, it's just an odd way of making it not raise an error when called via the class:
MyClass.call_me()

works fine since, even though nothing is implicitly passed as with instances, the default value for that argument is provided. If no default was provided, when called, this would of course raise the TypeError for args we all love. As to why he chose an empty string as the value, only he knows.
Bottom line, this is more confusing than it is practical. If you need to do something similar I'd advice a simple staticmethod with a default argument to achieve a similar effect.
That way you don't stump anyone reading your code (like the developer who wrote this did with you ;-):
@staticmethod
def call_me(a=''):
    print(a)

If instead you need access to class attributes you could always opt for the classmethod decorator. Both these (class and static decorators) also serve a secondary purpose of making your intent crystal clear to others reading your code.

A: The short answer is yes. That way, you can call the function as:
MyClass.call_me()

without instantiating MyClass, that will print an empty string.
To give a longer answer, we need to look at what is going on behind the scenes.
When you create an instance of the class, __new__ and __init__ are called to create it, that is:
a = MyClass()

is roughly equivalent to:
a = MyClass.__new__(MyClass)
MyClass.__init__(a)

Whenever you use some method on a created instance a:
a.call_me()

It is "replaced" with MyClass.call_me(a).
So, having a default parameter for call_me allows you to call this function not only as a method of an instance, in which case self is an instance itself, but also as a static class method.
That way, instead of MyClass.call_me(a), just MyClass.call_me() is called. Because the argument list is empty, the default argument is assigned to self and the desired result (empty string) is printed.

How Does Google Reverse Phone Lookup Work?
By Nicole Fallon - June 27, 2019
By guteksk7/Shutterstock
We've all been there: An unfamiliar number calls or texts your phone, and you want to know who's on the other end before you proceed. With consumers receiving 4.7 billion robocalls every month, according to YouMail, it's only natural to want to track down the source of an incoming call. The first obvious place to start sleuthing is Google, which has a tool for looking up phone numbers. Though it's a good starting point, there are limitations to what you can find. Here's what to know.
Can you Google search a phone number?
In an age when spam calls and neighbor spoofing are rampant, it's a matter of self-preservation to check who's calling before you pick up or text back—especially when your hard-earned money is on the line. According to a Truecaller report, nearly 1 in 6 Americans lost a collective $10.5 billion to phone scams between 2018 and 2019.
Of course, scammers aren't the only ones who might be trying to reach you. It could be a telemarketer, a colleague, an old friend with new contact information or simply someone who misdialed a phone number.
As the go-to tool for finding answers to almost any query on the internet, Google is a good place to start looking for the person or business behind a particular phone number. A Google reverse phone lookup can return results for a specific phone number in question, such as a name, address or online profile associated with it.
Google used to have a native reverse phone lookup tool, known as its phone book search operator. This service was shut down in 2010, but you can still use Google to search for a phone number.
How to do a Google phone number lookup
To begin your search, go to Google.com and type (or copy and paste) the phone number in question into the search bar. Use the full number, including the area code, and type it in the format of 555-555-5555 (rather than with parentheses for the area code).
Assuming the phone number is valid and typed correctly, your search will likely yield several pages' worth of results. Google will try to provide links to any websites or online directories where the number is listed. You can then investigate these sources.
How well does Google reverse phone lookup work?
When you conduct a Google reverse phone search, you may find the caller's details instantly—or you may find yourself sifting through pages upon pages of search results, no closer to cracking the code of the mystery number than when you entered your query. Here's what you can expect if the phone number you are looking for falls under one of the following categories:
Business phone number: If the number that called you is associated with a business, a Google phone number lookup should provide results fairly quickly. That's because many of today's businesses list their phone numbers on their websites, social media accounts, business directories and other online profiles to make it easy for customers to contact them. If you see the same brand name appear over and over again in your Google search results, it's probably a safe bet your mystery caller is the business in question.
Landline number: Google may also help you find landline numbers associated with a street address. Directories that list people and addresses often appear in results when you search for a valid landline number. Scroll through your search results to see if you can identify one name that keeps appearing with the phone number you've searched. If you spot one, you can run another search using that name plus the original phone number to narrow the results and potentially find more caller details.
Cellphone number: Finding details on a cellphone number may prove challenging. Cellphone directories often list similar numbers in sequential order, meaning results are harder to sort through.
You'll rarely see a person's name in the immediate search results for a cellphone number, but you may see the cellphone carrier and a city listed with it. Although area codes and cities don't necessarily mean the person called you from that exact location, it could indicate where the caller lives (or once lived) and registered their cellphone.
As you click through cellphone number search results, you may find directories that list certain numbers as "safe" or "unsafe" (i.e., scammers or robocalls). Some of these websites list the initials or the last name of individuals associated with "safe" cellphone numbers, which could help you conduct further research into your caller's identity.
Telemarketer or robocall: If you think you're receiving robocalls, you may not be able to find a name or location associated with the phone number. That's because robocalls originate from a VoIP service. Robocallers generally use a unique fake phone number, making it virtually impossible to trace the number back to a specific person or organization. What you may find, however, are consumer-reported incidents of spam calls from that particular number. If you find a search result indicating that your caller was marked unsafe or cited as a telemarketer, you'll want to ignore or block future calls from that number.
Reverse Phone Number Lookup
What if I can't find a number on Google reverse phone lookup?
Google is a free search engine, and like many free tools, its features and results may be limited. While you might eventually find a phone number through a Google reverse phone search, it could take time and effort.
If you want to skip going down the Google search-results rabbit hole, or if nothing turns up, it may be worth checking out a more reputable reverse phone lookup tool. These services look for publicly available caller details on business phone numbers, landlines and cellphones, then compile a report with the results. You may even find additional details about a caller, including previous addresses, education information and social media profiles, that you would likely not find by running a simple Google search.

Home Features MARCH AND OCCUPY TO SAVE CHASE FARM – say workers and patients
MARCH AND OCCUPY TO SAVE CHASE FARM – say workers and patients
North East London Council of Action pickets outside Chase Farm Hospital at 7.00am
workers, trade unionists and local people are marching through Enfield on Saturday 26th July against the closure of Chase Farm Hospital, the announcement of which is expected on Thursday 31st July.
Workers and patients supporting Tuesday's monthly mass picket of the hospital said they would occupy to keep it open.
North East London Council of Action Secretary Bill Rogers said: 'The so-called Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) say they're going to decide by 31st July, but they're really just a government rubber-stamp to cut and close hospitals and departments throughout the country.
'Things are getting really tense as people realise that things have come to a head. What we need now is for the trade unions to take a fighting stand on the question of defending the NHS and to that end I would urge people to come to the ATUA Conference in London on 29th June, where we will be discussing all these issues and building a leadership in the unions that is going to fight.
'I'm a railway worker, Chairman of Chingford Aslef Branch and Secretary of North East London Council of Action. We hold monthly pickets of Chase Farm Hospital and lively meetings where we discuss the issues and the fight to defend Chase Farm. We organised a 3,000-strong march through Enfield last November and we are holding another on 26th July, five days before the IRP announces its cuts and closure decision.
'Our next meeting is on 10th June at the Hollybush pub in Lavender Hill and we call on all locals and trade unionists to come to make plans. We will defend Chase Farm by all means necessary, including occupation.'
Sue Fitzgerald, midwife and RCM member, said: 'I've come to all the pickets and I've been on all the marches. We must keep our Obstetrics unit, because Barnet and North Mid couldn't cope. Anyway, we need it here.'
Maudlyn Philips, a patient, said: 'This hospital's been good to me. They've already closed too many hospitals and if they close this one that just leaves Barnet, which is too far and too full.'
Decorator David Fowler said: 'It's not just this hospital under threat, it's every hospital. Why are they closing hospitals when there's a growing, ageing population.'
Medical researcher Lesley Morris said: 'I live in Edgware, where we had a fine hospital, but they closed the A&E and replaced it with a walk-in centre. If they close Chase Farm, where will people go, overload Barnet still more? We take too much lying down. We should march on the government for closing down hospitals. I'd like to lead the march.'
Mary, a nurse in the Surgical wing, told News Line: 'All departments here are important, very busy and short of staff. They must invest in this hospital and reduce nurses' workload. I've just come off night shift and I'm very, very tired.'
Harlesden Young Socialists member Scott Dore said: 'This hospital must stay open, people really need it, where else would they go?'
Patient Carolyn Sobers said: 'It would be a disaster for the local community if they closed this hospital. I've got a young family so it's really important to me.'
Local worker John Oracokhat said: 'My daughter Toke was born here and they were wonderful to all of us. A month ago Toke poked herself in the eye, we went to A&E and they sorted it out really quickly and well.'
Alison Petrie, an Executive PA, said: 'I have parents of 81 and 82 who live in Cheshunt and this hospital saved my dad's life four years ago, when he had a heart attack. He was brought in by ambulance within 15-minutes and stabilised within five-and-a-half hours. The workers here definitely saved his life and I am extremely grateful to them. I feel so strongly that this hospital must not close and I support the idea of an occupation.'
Mitchell Leech, a porter, said: 'I live in Barnet and it takes me half an hour minimum to get here, by bus it would be a nightmare. We must save this hospital. I'd hate to be out of work and so would my mates.'
Porter Terry Lynch said: 'I've worked here five years and I know how important this hospital is, it's saved countless lives. The care and attention you get here is great and it's a good place to work, with no-one breathing down your neck all the time like in other places, so you're able to get on with the job. There's great team work here, we all help each other for the good of the patients.'
Mechanical fitter Dean Gunning said: 'I was born here and I've worked here for three years now. It's got to be saved. I would support an occupation to stop it closing. My wife is expecting a child and we want it to be born here.'
Electrician Jash Mali said: 'I've worked here a year and I love my job. There's nothing more important than working for the NHS. The whole workforce is committed to this hospital. It's a big borough, too much for Barnet. This place must be saved.'
Lola, a UNISON member in Outpatients said: 'Why did they send a memorandum to all departments in the hospital saying people on this picket are saying they're closing this hospital and it's not true. It is true. We've heard from reliable sources they're winding down over three years.'
TGWU member and local 121 bus driver Michelle Diedrich said: 'It's disgusting. I hear people on my bus every day saying this hospital must stay open.' Michelle's daughter Melissa added: 'People would die on the way to Barnet.'
Patient Narimal Annul said: 'Signing petitions isn't enough, we must do whatever it takes to save this hospital. I would support a sit-in and I believe the whole community would.'
Craig O'Connor, visiting with his two-year-old son Shane, said: 'I was born here, Shane was born here. It's a brilliant hospital. My missus is here now with my sick baby daughter. The nurses and staff are great. I agree with the trade unions fighting to stop the closure and occupying it.'
Simos and Maroulla Georgiou said: 'We can't let it close. We've been here so many years. We read in the paper they want to close it down and build flats, it's ridiculous, let the poor die – to make millions for the property developers.'
Annie Edgar-Chelcher, from Tower Hamlets UNISON branch, said: 'The unions need to do something. They arrange strikes over pay but hospitals are fundamental. Why don't they organise a national strike or something? I think it's excellent the Council of Action is taking a positive stand and planning action.'
Anna Athow, a BMA rep and surgeon in a nearby north London hospital, said: 'There's nothing independent about the Independent Reconfiguration Panel. It was created by the government, is funded by the government.
'Local people made it clear on three large marches, petitions and the election of local councillors, they want Chase Farm to stay open as an Acute General Hospital.
'This must happen and North East London Council of Action is continuing its campaign, including another march and physical action if necessary to keep it open.'
Bob Savage, ex-Sogat member said: 'At the North East London Council of Action meetings, instead of saying we are going to try and save Chase Farm we have an attitude that we are going to save Chase Farm and I'm sure that we will be successful.'
Student nurse Mercy Asare said: 'This is a lovely hospital and we have to fight for it. I prefer it to all the others I know. The standard of care is high and the teaching is good, as students we get a lot of support.'
Student nurse Millicent Boateng said: 'This is a good hospital. I was surprised when I saw the picket, it shows that people really want to save it.'
Midwife Ayn Carmel said: 'This is a beautiful hospital. The whole area is nice, that's why they want the land for luxury apartments. I went to the meeting in the Hollybush, the next meeting is on 10th June and if I'm working I'll swop so I can come.'
Trainee teacher Alison Jackson said: 'They want to open polyclinics which they liken to a wheel and the GPs to spokes. But it's hospitals that are at the centre of the NHS, not polyclinics. The system we've got works, it must be saved.'
Aleyfyah Ali, a personal trainer, said: 'I went on the last march to keep our hospital. Closing GP surgeries and replacing them with polyclinics is horrible, they are soulless shells, completely impersonal, the opposite of GP surgeries where you know your GP and your GP knows you. I'll come to the Council of Action meeting to hear what's going on.'
Unite union member Anthony Thomas said: 'The trade unions have to lead the fight. I've bought my ticket for the ATUA Conference on 29th June and I'll try to get my friends along.'
Alvin and Bhadra Meisuria said: 'They've closed Highland Hospital and now they are selling off the land here to property developers, instead of improving the hospital and investing in healthcare.'
Alvin added 'I'll come to the Council of Action meeting. I want to hear how we are going to save this hospital.'
A courier who works for the labs stopped at the picket and said he had been told he wouldn't be coming to Chase Farm much longer, as they are already moving stuff out.

Environment Affinity Group at SECAC
By Clarisse Fava-Piz on 06 Nov 2015
This blog post was created in the context of our Methods class in which we (Sarah, Jackie, Clarisse) are working on the notion of environment. At SECAC we were exploring the ways in which current scholars are approaching their subjects through this methodological lens.
On Friday morning, we as a group attended a panel called "The Perils of Periodization, the Simplifications of Style: Revisiting Border Crossings in Medieval Art and Architecture". Inspired by Ethan Matt Kavaler's book Renaisance Gothic, the panel confronted the limitations of period labels based upon styles, and pushed for a deeper exploration of the specific geographic and temporal boundaries of a particular piece. Sarah Dillon, of Kingsborough Community College, presented a talk, "Italian Stained Glass of the Trecento: Late Medieval, Gothic, or Early Renaissance". This talk in particular struck us as a particularly effective exploration of the impact of environment within art history. Her talk centered around three Italian stained glass windows from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: The Duccio Rose window in the Siena Cathedral, the Simone Martini window in the Chapel of St. Martin, and Taddeo Gaddi's Baroncelli Chapel at Santa Croce. Critically addressing their origins in late Medieval Italy, Dillon argued that these windows represent just a small part of Italian works that defy traditional classifications of 'Medieval' or 'Renaissance'.
Her analysis of the Duccio window was particularly exciting for our own academic pursuits dealing with the theme of environment. Analyzing the window and its location within the church, Dillon critically addressed the way that this window would have been visible to the thirteenth and fourteenth century viewer. Dillon drew compositional and iconographical connections between the window and the altarpiece situated below it (also a work of Duccio), and she further emphasized the relationship by addressing their specific locations within the church. The altarpiece and window not only iconographically inform one another but the window additionally illuminates the golden altarpiece, highlighting it with its many colors during the day.
The panel "Casting the ancient World for the Modern World" chaired by Carol Mattusch, from George Mason University, took a different approach to the notion of environment. Presenters discussed the plaster cast as a work of art itself, with its own history, and its complexity that is often overshadowed because of its devalued status of copy for which it has long suffered. Until recently, plaster casts were destroyed or lost because of this reception. Annetta Alexandrinis, from Cornell University, presented two recent exhibition projects: "Firing the Canon! The Cornell Casts and Their Discontents" (http://www.cornell.edu/video/firing-the-canon-cornell-plaster-casts ), and "Cast and Present: Replicating Antiquity in the Museum and the Academy," (http://museum.cornell.edu/exhibitions/cast-and-present-replicating-antiquity-museum-and-academy )and demonstrated the documentary, as well as artistic, values of these objects for students who worked on these collaborative exhibitions at the university.
The plaster cast is particularly interesting in our discussion about environment: conceived by 19th century collectors as substitutes of the originals, plaster casts were praised for their pedagogical values in academies and museums, like at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Francesca Torello, from Carnegie School of Architecture, presented a paper on, "Exhibiting Architecture: Plaster Casts in Pittsburgh between Instruction and Professional Debate" which focused on the history of the creation of the collection of plaster casts by Andrew Carnegie between 1904 and 1906. His goal was to bring artworks from across the Atlantic to people in Pittsburgh who could not travel. The original environment of a façade of a church, or a specific architectural element, become lost. However, it allows for the selection of the most representative architectural and sculptural "marvels" that contribute to the creation of the encyclopedic museum. Art historians today can learn from these objects about the history of early 20th century taste, and conceive the plaster casts as works of art themselves, now that the idea of the fragmentary is well accepted.
Another aspect of environment we noticed at SECAC was present in the session entitled "Reconfiguring Knowledge: Making the Digital Humanities Visual". Timothy Shea, of Duke University, presented his work "Digitizing Athens: Reconstructing the Urban Topography of Athens with GIS", which stood for its methodology focused on notions of environment. The focus of this project on graves in Athens was rooted in the understanding of the original markers and their ancient environment, and how the roads would have informed the original viewer experience. There were similarities between Timothy Shea's methods, and those found in a reading we completed earlier in the course by Lauren Hackworth Peterson. In "The Baker, His Tomb, His Wife, and Her Breadbasket: The Monument of Eurysaces in Rome" (http://www.jstor.org/stable/3177343), Peterson highlights the importance of context through the relation of urban cemeteries to the roads leading to and from the city. Similarly, the mapping project "Digitizing Athens" overlays the locations of known cemetery sites with their contemporary roads and emphasizes the relevance of funerary marker location.
Given our own research interests, it was informative for us to see how contemporary scholars are using the notion of environment in their work, implicitly or explicitly, through a variety of approaches. The viewer experience and the relationship of the object to its context provide a deeper understanding of artworks, and will inform our current research projects.

Apple Expects Strong MacBook Pro Shipments – Places Aggressive Orders With Suppliers
By Omar Sohail
Despite the backlash stemming from the high price tags and lack of connectivity ports from the MacBook Pro 2016 models, Apple is still placing orders for its newly announced notebooks due to strong shipments. With the remaining two models; one that comes with the Touch Bar and Touch ID features yet to be officially released, lots of consumers will be taking advantage of the extra firepower and will probably want to get their hands on one of the newer models.
Apple Increasing Notebook Orders as Strong Shipments Are Expected to Last Until the End of 2016 – Newer MacBook Pro Family Yet to Be Officially Rolled Out to the Public
Apple appears to be extremely optimistic about the future and about its MacBook Pro 2016 family. According to the latest from supply chain sources, MacBook shipments in 2017 are expected to stay at the same level as they were in 2016. These sources indicate an increased shipment proportion of the company's new MacBook Pro, stating that both parties are expected to enjoy growth in 2017.
However, Apple's mood was not always this bright and dandy as these sources have also pointed that the tech giant was not initially optimistic about placing new MacBook Pro orders. It was also reported that the company delayed the product shipment schedule by a quarter due to low yield rates for some components that included hinges, battery, and keyboard. However, good fortune showers Apple as it has started aggressively pursuing orders for the newer models after the launch in October.
The rising MacBook Pro shipment tally has forced market watchers to increase that number to 15 million units in 2016, but have stated that the number of shipments is expected to stay the same the following year. There are several reasons to upgrade to the newer MacBook Pro models. They possess a brighter display, much bigger trackpad and because of the insanely faster storage, the newer notebooks are going to be more responsive to commands. The Thunderbolt 3 are a cause of concerns for a majority of consumers, and the removal of the MagSafe charger also means that you will have to be careful about accidentally yanking the cable from the notebook.
To make things easier for users who are going to purchase dongles for expansion, Apple has dropped the prices of its accessories, but the offer is only going to last for a short period. Would you be upgrading to a new MacBook Pro model? Tell us your thoughts in the comments right away.

The Tremellomycetes are a class of dimorphic fungi in the Agaricomycotina. Some species have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies) or (microscopically) a sacculate parenthesome. There are six orders, 17 families, and 39 genera in the Tremellomycetes. Tremellomycetes include yeasts, dimorphic taxa, and species that form complex fruiting bodies. Tremellomycetes include some fungi that are human and animal pathogens in the genera Cryptococcus, Naganishia, Papiliotrema, and Trichosporon and some fungi that are cultivated for food in the genera Tremella and Naematelia.

Pastor Gregory Brown presented me with the opportunity to read his most recent Bible study, the Bible Teacher's Guide in the book of First Timothy – Becoming a Good Minister of Christ Jesus.
Once again, Pastor Brown has done an excellent and thorough job of expositional teaching of the Bible. Going verse by verse, he helps the reader/student to understand Scripture in context. He uses Scripture to interpret Scripture.
He's deals straight with the truth and the Bible is the standard by which he measures truth or falsehood and right and wrong. It's clear he desires that the church be equipped to know and teach God's Word and live it out in their daily lives. He asks hard questions, challenges Christians to examine themselves and be serious about their faith.
I found the questions throughout the book to be challenging, sobering and very convicting. He doesn't shy away from dealing with topics that are controversial in today's culture. He uses Scripture, Old Testament and New Testament, to back up his assertions and interpretations.
First Timothy – Becoming a Good Minister of Christ Jesus by Pastor Gregory Brown is an excellent book and resource for Bible study. It would be a great help to prepare someone who is going to be leading a study, or for group or individual study.
I highly recommend Pastor Gregory Brown's newest Bible study, First Timothy – Becoming a Good Minister of Christ Jesus.
I also "liked" your review on Amazon!
Thank you so much Margaret for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Pastor Brown is a wonderful Bible teacher. I'm most grateful that I've been able to read his books.

I gain a great deal of satisfaction working with boaters at Brewer Yacht Yard in Mystic. Mystic is one of New England's beautiful coastal towns and a boaters paradise.
The crew at Brewer's make every transaction seamless. In addition to being a yacht broker, I am also a member of the Yacht Brokers Association of America and a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB).
However, when I'm not working on a boat deal, I enjoy offshore saltwater deep-sea fishing on my 42' Hatteras, "Powernap."

Celebrant (translated as Silverlode) was a stream rising in the eastern Misty Mountains from the Mirrormere in the Dimrill Dale. It then ran through Lothlórien where it was met by the Nimrodel river, and emptied into the Anduin. The Fellowship of the Ring followed this river when they travelled from Moria to Lothlórien.[1]
Celebrant is a Sindarin name, consisting of celeb, "silver" and rant, "course".[2]
The element lode in Silverlode means "course, water-channel".[3]
These names were also a translation of Kibil-nâla in Khuzdul, the language of Dwarves.
