Inside the World's First Virtual Online Museum of Art
An interview with Lee Cavaliere, director of VOMA
The launch of the world's first non-profit virtual art space overlapped with the UK's first lockdown. But the Virtual Online Museum of Art (VOMA) was envisioned before that. 'The founding principle of VOMA was to make art more accessible,' the museum's director Lee Cavaliere told Grimshaw Foundation.
'I'm very allergic to the idea of elitism within art,' Cavaliere continued. 'Artists are basically there to tell stories, and there is a need to hear from a different set of people than we have been hearing from.' He pointed out that the Black Lives Matter movement, which also shook the art world last year, was not only about race, but about access. 'Who gets to make the decisions, and whose voices are we hearing, and that was all very much part of our philosophy when we approached VOMA.'
The virtual building and gardens were designed by the architect Emily Mann. She took her cues from post-war Japanese architects who were driven by the idea of 'starting again' and renewal – apt, given the way that society will have to rebuild after this crisis. The virtual building 'really strikes all my favourite modernist Brutalist chords,' Cavaliere said. 'I think it really looks like a socialist structure, which is kind of the idea.'
"VOMA architect Emily Mann took her cues from post-war Japanese architects who were driven by the idea of 'starting again' and renewal"
Anyone with an internet connection can get up close to great works of art (the works on the walls are very high resolution, textured objects involving hundreds of megabytes that you can zoom in on) – from anywhere in the world (according to VOMA's analytics, 50% of visitors arrive via their mobile phones, pulling museums out of their pockets).
VOMA regularly canvases opinion and wants its visitors to 'feel that they've got some ownership,' Cavaliere said. 'Sometimes museums feel like you're walking into a monument. And that can be quite alienating. We really wanted to break down that kind of barrier.'
Visitors can feel right at home in VOMA, which boasts a café, a reading room, a comments wall, and is working to add a dialogue box at the bottom of the screen. In the first two or three weeks after it opened, VOMA had 400,000 artwork interactions – that's people clicking, zooming or reading information about the works – and people have been flocking ever since from all over the world. The museum has gone 'viral in Korea', Cavaliere told me. 'And art has never had that kind of virality before. It's always been contained, because of its physicality and in the physical space.'
VOMA is changing all that, opening up the walls – and building bridges instead.

Heartbreaking task of recovering bodies underway at condo site. Four deaths confirmed
The arduous and heartbreaking task of recovering the bodies of victims at the site of the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo began overnight and continued into a somber Friday morning in Surfside.
Shortly before 7:45 Friday morning, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said authorities have now confirmed four deaths.
No additional survivors had been found since Thursday morning.
State Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, who also serves as the state fire marshal, said on CNN early Friday morning the rescue mission would continue into the day, with search-and-rescue teams from Naples and Orlando coming to relieve Miami-Dade searchers who had been working their way through the rubble for more than 24 hours.
He said search and rescue teams were using everything at their disposal in the desperate search for life, cutting into the concrete with saw, using infrared cameras after boring through holes in the rubble, sonar and specially trained dogs.
"The live active rescue will continue," Patronis said without going into how long he thinks a person can survive under the debris. "The families deserve it."
Miami Beach Sen. Jason Pizzo was at the scene overnight Thursday and into early Friday morning, where he watched as tactical teams of six worked to extricate bodies from the rubble.
He saw one body taken in a yellow body bag and another that was marked.
A homicide unit tent was set up along the beach, Pizzo said, and staff under Miami-Dade Medical Examiner Dr. Emma Lew were carrying the yellow bags.
A short distance away at the Surfside Community Center, dozens of families were maintaining a vigil at the family reunification site 24 hours since the building partially collapsed. A gust of wind and rain forced people seated outside the center to take refuge under the building's central walkway.
Rabbi Sholom Lipskar, spiritual leader of the Shul of Bal Harbour, prays during the search-and-rescue operation after the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside on Thursday night June 24th., 2021. At left are Rabbi Mendy Levy, Chabad Chaplaincy Network Chaplain — Mount Sinai Medical Center and Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.
Close to midnight, it was a soggy scene. Some relatives of the victims, who had been there since Thursday morning, were awaiting results to DNA swabs that would help identify their loved ones. Volunteers continued to bring in food, and others offered T-shirts, towels and blankets.
On television, Local 10 cameras captured the scene as one body wrapped in a yellow bag was brought out of the debris.
After the rain subsided, dust and smoke from the ongoing work on the debris pile had not settled.
At about the same time, President Joe Biden signed an order declaring a disaster in Florida and authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide financial and logistical support to local officials and individuals. Earlier on Thursday, Levine Cava and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed their own disaster declarations, triggering the process for the president to activate FEMA's response.
Surfside is now a warren of coned-off streets, one-ways, and detours as crews limit access to the site. Harding Avenue, the usually bustling commercial southbound route parallel to Collins Avenue, was completely cleared of any parked cars.
Day began breaking over the site around 6 a.m., the rising sun partially obscured by plumes of dust and ash as crews continued to try to drill their way into the collapsed structure. Another small fire appeared to have broken out, filling the air with an acrid, smoky scent.
This is a breaking news story that will be updated frequently.

Q: Windows 10 will not connect to LAN/Internet via a switch A single Windows 10 machine on our small office network will not connect to the internet or LAN when connected via a switch.  It fails to see any network activity and reports there's no connection.  This is a new(ish) PC that's worked perfectly for a month, then suddenly no longer connects.  Nothing else has changed in that time.
               [Router]
                  |
               [Switch]
    ______________|________________
   |         |     |     |    |    |
 [PC]       Printers      Other PC's

However, when connected directly to the router it works perfectly:
   ┌----------  [Router]

I've tried the following things over the last few days based on internet searches:

*

*Reset the network setting using the Windows troubleshooter.  The network icon in system tray shows a connection for a few seconds, then back to no connection.  During that time a browser still cannot connect.

*Changed the ethernet cables

*Swapped the switch

*Activated wi-fi in the BIOS and used that - connects perfectly but is against company rules

*Swapped out the machine with a laptop, which works perfectly - this leads me to blame the machine

*Tried a different switch port

I've run out of things to try (my network experience is minimal) now.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
The specifications for each machine:

*

*Router - ASUS RT-N66U

*Switch - Netgear GS316 - Unmanaged

*Windows PC Intel Ethernet Controller I225-V

A: Since we know from your tests, try both the following:

*

*Reinstall/Update the Network card driver.

*Do a TCP/IP reset, DNS Flush:
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator.
 netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
 ipconfig /flushdns

Restart the computer .
This works for many situations.

A guide to get you psyched for spring in Philly
by Reesha Grosso
The best treatment for your Seasonal Affective Disorder is increased solar exposure, so leave those pajamas behind! Acclimate yourself to springtime's greenery, partake in a bit of sunshine and prepare yourself for the inevitable onslaught of insects with this whirlwind tour of Philadelphia's indoor and outdoor treasures, all committed to education and preservation. While most are free, all have options under $10 and are accessible by public transportation.
Fairmount Park's Horticulture Center
The Horticulture Center is the refreshing antidote to your grey city existence. The greenhouse was built in 1976 for the Bicentennial and is lush with tropical plants, statues and fountains all year round. In the visitor center, you can learn about the surrounding park's attractions, including a butterfly garden, reflecting pond, pinetum (an arboretum of evergreens) and the 27-acre Centennial Arboretum. Just behind the Horticulture Center, minimalist sculptor Martin Puryear's Pavilion in the Trees offers a cedar, oak and redwood walkway leading to a 24-foot high domed platform where you can sit among the treetops.
Continue on to Shofuso, a model of a traditional Japanese home, including an ornamental garden and teahouse, that is open May through October. The house was built in Japan for exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1954 and was moved to Philadelphia in 1958. Local masters demonstrate tea ceremonies one Sunday each month—reservations are required! Don't miss the free Cherry Blossom Festival on Sunday April 5 featuring live music, dance, food, and hanami, the Japanese tradition of enjoying the short-lived cherry blossoms.
100 N. Horticultural Dr., grounds 8 a.m–5 p.m., visitor center and greenhouse 9 a.m–3 p.m., free fairmountpark.org. Shofuso, May–Oct., Tue.–Sun., 9 a.m.-4 p.m., adults $6, seniors $3, children under six free, 215-878-5097 shofuso.com
Get there: Take the 38 bus to Belmont Ave. & Montgomery Dr., then walk five minutes north on Montgomery and through the iron gates.
Philadelphia's Insectarium
The summertime equivalent of a polar bear swim, the Insectarium holds a shocking number of bugs—just hold your nose and jump in. Thousands of familiar and exotic arthropods infest the largest insect museum in America, located in the Northeast. Depending on your comfort level, there are live insects to hold and mounted insects to inspect up close. A kitchen installation packed with hundreds of cockroaches, a live termite colony, glow-in-the-dark scorpions and a functional indoor/outdoor beehive are rendered innocuous by plexiglass barriers. Lots of just-for-kids activities, including games, puzzles and a manmade spider web, will keep even squeamish little ones thrilled.
8046 Frankford Ave., Mon.–Sat., 10 a.m.–4 p.m., $7, kids under two free, 215-335-9500 myinsectarium.com

Most Distant Quasar Discovered Sheds Light on How Supermassive Black Holes Grow
By Crystal Jones on January 12, 2021

Fully formed just 670 million years after the Big Bang and powered by the earliest known supermassive black hole, the quasar provides insight into the formation of massive galaxies in the early universe.
A team of astronomers led by the University of Arizona has observed a luminous quasar 13.03 billion light-years from Earth — the most distant quasar discovered to date. Dating back to 670 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only 5% its current age, the quasar hosts a supermassive black hole equivalent to the combined mass of 1.6 billion suns.
In addition to being the most distant — and by extension, earliest — quasar known, the object is the first of its kind to show evidence of an outflowing wind of super-heated gas escaping from the surroundings of the black hole at a fifth of the speed of light. In addition to revealing a strong quasar-driven wind, the new observations also show intense star formation activity in the host galaxy where the quasar, formally designated J0313-1806, is located.
The researchers will present their findings, which have been accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters, during a press conference and a scientific talk at the 237th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society, which will be held virtually between January 11-15, 2021.
The previous record-holder among quasars in the infant universe was discovered three years ago. The University of Arizona team also contributed to that discovery. Quasars are thought to result from supermassive black holes gobbling up surrounding matter, such as gas or even entire stars, resulting in a maelstrom of superheated matter known as an accretion disk that swirls around the black hole. Because of the enormous energies involved, quasars are among the brightest sources in the cosmos, often outshining their host galaxies.
Although J0313-1806 is only 20 million light-years farther away than the previous record holder, the new quasar contains a supermassive black hole twice as heavy. This marks a significant advancement for cosmology, as it provides the strongest constraint yet on the formation of black holes in the early universe.
"This is the earliest evidence of how a supermassive black hole is affecting its host galaxy around it," said the paper's lead author Feige Wang, a Hubble Fellow at UArizona's Steward Observatory. "From observations of less distant galaxies, we know that this has to happen, but we have never seen it happening so early in the universe."
Quasars that already amassed millions, if not billions, of solar masses in their black holes at a time when the universe was very young pose a challenge to scientists trying to explain how they came into existence when they barely had the time to do so. A commonly accepted explanation of black hole formation involves a star exploding up as a supernova at the end of its life and collapsing into a black hole. When such black holes merge over time, they can — theoretically — grow into supermassive black holes. However, much like it would require many lifetimes to build a retirement fund by chipping in a dollar each year, quasars in the early universe are a little bit like toddler millionaires; they must have acquired their mass by other means.
The newly discovered quasar provides a new benchmark by ruling out two current models of how supermassive black holes form in such short timescales. In the first model, massive stars that consist largely of hydrogen and lack most other elements that make up later stars, including metals, form the first generation of stars in a young galaxy and provide the food for the nascent black hole. The second model involves dense star clusters, which collapse into a massive black hole right from the outset.
Quasar J0313-1806, however, boasts a black hole too massive to be explained by the aforementioned scenarios, according to the team that discovered it. The team calculated that if the black hole at its center formed as early as 100 million years after the Big Bang and grew as fast as possible, it still would have had to have at least 10,000 solar masses to begin with.
"This tells you that no matter what you do, the seed of this black hole must have formed by a different mechanism," said co-author Xiaohui Fan, Regents Professor and associate head of the UArizona Department of Astronomy. "In this case, one that involves vast quantities of primordial, cold hydrogen gas directly collapsing into a seed black hole."
Because this mechanism doesn't require full-fledged stars as raw material, it is the only one that would allow the supermassive black hole of quasar J0313-1806 to grow to 1.6 billion solar masses at such an early time in the universe. This is what makes the new record quasar so valuable, Fan explained.
"Once you go to lower redshifts, all the models could explain the existence of those less distant and less massive quasars," he said. "In order for the black hole to have grown to the size we see with J0313-1806, it would have to have started out with a seed black hole of at least 10,000 solar masses, and that would only be possible in the direct collapse scenario."
The newly discovered quasar appears to offer a rare glimpse into the life of a galaxy at the dawn of the universe when many of the galaxy-shaping processes that have since slowed or ceased in galaxies that have been around for much longer were still in full swing.
According to current models of galaxy evolution, supermassive black holes growing at their centers could be the main reason why galaxies ultimately stop making new stars. Acting like a blowtorch of cosmic proportions, quasars blast their surroundings fiercely, effectively sweeping their host galaxy clean of much of the cold gas that serves as the raw material from which stars form.
"We think those supermassive black holes were the reason why many of the big galaxies stopped forming stars at some point," Fan said. "We observe this 'quenching' at lower redshifts, but until now, we didn't know how early this process began in the history of the universe. This quasar is the earliest evidence that quenching may have been happening at very early times."
By measuring the quasar's luminosity, Wang's team calculated that the supermassive black hole at its center is ingesting the mass equivalent of 25 suns each year, on average, which is thought to be the main reason for its high-velocity hot plasma wind blowing into the galaxy around it at relativistic speed. For comparison, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way has become mostly dormant.
And while the Milky Way forms stars at the leisurely pace of about one solar mass each year, J0313-1806 churns out 200 solar masses in the same time period.
"This is a relatively high star formation rate, similar to that observed in other quasars of similar age, and it tells us the host galaxy is growing very fast," Wang said.
"These quasars presumably are still in the process of building their supermassive black holes" Fan added. "Over time, the quasar's outflow heats and pushes all the gas out of the galaxy, and then the black hole has nothing left to eat anymore and will stop growing. This is evidence about how these earliest massive galaxies and their quasars grow."
The researchers expect to find a few more quasars from the same time period, including potential new record breakers, said Jinyi Yang, the second author of the report, who is a Peter A. Strittmatter Fellow at the Steward Observatory. Yang and Fan were observing at the 6.5-meter Magellan Baade telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile the night J0313-1806 was discovered.
"Our quasar survey covers a very wide field, allowing us to scan almost half of the sky," Yang said. "We have selected more candidates on which we will follow up with more detailed observations."
The researchers hope to uncover more about the quasar's secrets with future observations, especially with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, currently slated for launch in 2021.
"With ground-based telescopes, we can only see a point source," Wang said. "Future observations could make it possible to resolve the quasar in more detail, show the structure of its outflow and how far the wind extends into its galaxy, and that would give us a much better idea of its evolutionary stage."
In addition to the 6.5-meter Magellan Baade telescope, the following instruments were involved in this study: The Gemini North Telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory, both on Maunakea, Hawaii; and the Gemini South Telescope, the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, all located in Chile's Atacama Desert. Data from the Blanco Telescope's contributed to the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, which are served to the astronomical community via the Astro Data Lab at NOIRLab's Community Science and Data Center (CSDC), helped to first identify J0313-1806, and Gemini South observations were used to confirm its identity as a quasar.
The research team also includes astronomer Richard Green and doctoral student Minghao Yue, both at Steward Observatory. The research was funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, the European Research Council and the National Science Foundation of China.
The Magellan Telescopes are managed by a collaboration of US universities including the University of Arizona.
NSF's NOIRLab (National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory), the US center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy, operates the international Gemini Observatory (a facility of NSF, NRC-Canada, ANID-Chile, MCTIC-Brazil, MINCyT-Argentina, and KASI-Republic of Korea), Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), the Community Science and Data Center (CSDC), and Vera C. Rubin Observatory. It is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF and is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.
The astronomical community is honored to have the opportunity to conduct astronomical research on Iolkam Du'ag (Kitt Peak) in Arizona, on Maunakea in Hawaii, and on Cerro Tololo and Cerro Pachón in Chile. We recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that these sites have to the Tohono O'odham Nation, to the Native Hawaiian community, and to the local communities in Chile, respectively.

Брэнт Хайндс (р. 1974) — гитарист/вокалист из Атланты, штат Джорджия. В настоящее время член метал-группы Mastodon, в которой является вторым гитаристом вместе с Биллом Кэлихером, и одним из трех вокалистов вместе с Троем Сандерсом и Брэнном Дэйлором. Хайндс также гитарист/вокалист в рокабилли группе Fiend Without A Face, а также принимает участие в других проектах, включая такие группы классического рока, как: The Blood Vessels, West End Motel, Four Hour Fogger and The Last of the Blue Eyed Devils.

Рождение и ранние годы
Брент родился в Пэлхаме, штат Алабама. Впервые он взял гитару в руки в 13 лет. Его отец согласился купить ему инструмент при условии, если Брент сначала научится играть на банджо, возьмет уроки в музыкальной школе и выучит нотную грамоту. Брент согласился и несколько лет проучился в Алабамской академии искусств.

Музыкальная карьера
Через некоторое время Хайндс уезжает из Алабамы в Атланту, штат Джорджия для того, чтобы начать музыкальную карьеру. Вскоре он встретил Троя Сандерса, будущего члена Mastodon. Трой рассказывал, что Хайндс «жил в своем минивэне следующие пять лет». Брент стал членом тогдашней группы Троя Four Hour Fogger.
Позжe Four Hour Fogger распались. Хайндс и Сандерс, которые решили продолжить играть вместе, случайно встретили Брэнна Дэйлора и Билла Келлихера на концерте группы High on Fire «в подвале их друга». Четверка создала группу вместе с вокалистом Эриком Сэнером. Они отправились в турне по южному США. Коммерческий успех команде пришёл уже после ухода Сэнера. Его уход вынудил Хайндса разделить обязанности вокалиста вместе с Сандерсом.
Хайндс сконцентрировался на работе с Mastodon, основное время проводя в турах или студии. Он также продюсирует свою менее известную рокабилли группу Fiend Without A Face, а также свою группу классического рока The Blood Vessels. Хайндс написал сайндтрек к фильму Джона Хэкс.

Гитары и оборудование
Любимыми гитарами Хайндса являются Gibson Custom Silverburst Flying V, Electrical Guitar Company Brent Hinds Custom V и Gibson B.B. King Lucille, но на студии Брент любит использовать разнообразные винтажные и блюзовые гитары.

Согласно журналу Guitar World, Хайндс обычно использует три строя: D стандарт, Дроп C и строй D с опущенной до А шестой струной (A G C F A D). Эти строи настолько низкие, что гитаристу приходится использовать толстые струны.

Брент на раннем этапе музыкальной карьеры использовал усилитель Marshall JMP Superlead. Позже стал предпочитать усилитель компании Diezel VH-4, а на данный моменты играет на именных усилителях компании Orange Brent Hinds Terror.

Детально посмотреть всё оборудование Брента можно на сайте equipboard.

Влияние и стиль
По той причине, что Хайндс учился играть на банджо, он разработал свой узнаваемый почерк, который характерен быстрым звукоизвлечением, который напоминает технику игры на банджо. В своем творчестве он объединяет минорную пентатонику, натуральный минор и минорную гармонию, равно как частые хаммеры, пулл-оффы и слайды. Брент вырос на музыке кантри, но в подростковом возрасте он начал слушать Neurosis и Melvins, группы, которые в дальнейшем окажут решающее влияние на его творчество. Хайндс так же любит такие музыкальные жанры, как прогрессивный и психоделический рок 70'х.

В 12 июня 2007 года, Хайндс и его одногруппник Кэллихер выиграли награду журнала Metal Hammer как лучшие шредеры. Это был первый раз, когда гитаристы Mastodon получили награду за своё мастерство.

Вокал Брэнта напоминает более агрессивную версию классического кантри стиля. Он использует преимущественно чистый вокал, но в раннем творчестве можно услышать гроул.

About Barnsley Card
Barnsley Card App
The Royston Canal Club
10th October 2018by Barnsley Council
The Royston Canal Club obtained the lease for the canal in August 2012. In this time they have regularly stocked the canal with fish over a period of years. Recently they have stocked the canal with bigger 6 – 8 inch fish in the winter, which, although more expensive, have a 95% survival rate, and the fish stocks are thriving again.
The Canal Club has reported Carp being caught at 20lbs which is brilliant for a canal, as well as 4lb Bream and Tench, crucians and Ide over 3lbs are also caught regularly. The anglers are delighted, and the £15 annual fee for the anglers makes it a very affordable hobby for members of the Royston community.
However, the Canal is much more than a fishing area and has taken part in the Yorkshire in Bloom awards. There is a thriving and diverse wildlife population including kingfishers, herons, swans, foxes, stoats, squirrels, water voles and grass snakes. The canal is a favourite walk for residents, and large shoals of fish can be seen in the summer. A lot of people walk, or cycle, daily along the canal and stop for `a natter` with the anglers, it has become a meeting place for a regular group of people.
Volunteers have all helped prepare for the Yorkshire in Bloom awards, and Love Where You Live activities to help build a strong and resilient community. The Canal Club also hosts fishing afternoons for young people during the summer holidays. The Canal is an ideal venue to help residents to become healthier, happier, independent and active.
A boat is used by the Canal Group members to access the far side of the canal to cut back the vegetation and to maintain the canal. The Canal Group's old boat was no longer fit for purpose as it the holes in it that were not able to be repaired, which was proving quite a problem. However, the Canal Group applied for funding for a new boat and were delighted that they were successful. They have recently purchased a new boat to help them maintain this lovely area for all to enjoy.

What's Coming to SFMOMA in 2021
From the ahead-of-the-curve media installations of Nam June Paik to a dazzling Diego Rivera mural, plus the One-way colour tunnel returns
By Becca Bandit - posted 1/7/2021 No Comment
Spring at SFMOMA: A New Year with New Possibilities'
New year, new beginning. Despite the unrest that has kicked off 2021, hope, excitement, and shared experiences are on the horizon. This year, we intend to bring you the art of our time in ways that inspire. From the ahead-of-the-curve media installations of Nam June Paik to a dazzling Diego Rivera mural to an all-digital, all-inclusive Art Bash, SFMOMA has a marvelous year in the works.
A new year brings new outlooks. New points of view. New possibilities. At SFMOMA, projects years in the planning are coming into the galleries now, filling us with hope and anticipation for a more joyful, restorative trip around the sun for 2021.
This spring, SFMOMA will be the exclusive U.S. venue for Nam June Paik, a thrilling and long-overdue retrospective of the seminal media arts creator.
We'll also welcome Diego Rivera's dazzling 1939 mural The Marriage of the Artistic Expression of the North and of the South on this Continent — better known as Pan American Unity — which has undergone a meticulous restoration and relocation. It will be installed in the free Roberts Family Gallery space until its new permanent home at City College of San Francisco is completed.
And this fall's must-see Joan Mitchell exhibition will illuminate the legacy of this powerful, poetic artist.
Olafur Eliasson's One-way colour tunnel sparkles on the oculus bridge again, and our galleries will be filled with old favorites, new works, and something intriguing around every corner. We look forward to welcoming you back to our sparkling clean galleries and fresh-air terraces as soon as we can safely reopen.
We're also hard at work on ourselves. Staff and trustees are putting the finishing touches on a new Diversity Action Plan that we will debut this spring. Our latest updates can always be found here.


Join us for our 4th annual Toast & Twirl Workshop on Saturday, August 3, 2019. Get ready for a crafternoon filled with a color, signature drinks & bites and photo ops. You don't want to miss the biggest year yet!

Berger's first official day with JCPL was Aug. 20.


A crowd of over 8,000, the Stags biggest gate of the season, turned out to see this crucial relegation local derby and the return of former manager Billy Dearden. The Stags were again without strikers Iyseden Christie and Colin Larkin and so the eleven was the same that started the midweek draw with Brentford. One change was made to the bench, with player-manager Keith Curle naming himself as susbtitute after recovering from a calf strain. County included former Stags defender Ian Barraclough and former Spurs midfielder Darren Caskey.
The game began at a frenetic pace, as would be expected of a derby as important as this one. County made the first glorious chance, Stallard heading wide from 6 yards when completely unmarked. County were dealt a further blow when Allsop went down with what looked like a hamstring injury after just 10 minutes - he was replaced by Paul Heffernan. Barraclough then earned himself the first caution of the game after a foul on Williamson. The Stags did get into their stride and created their best chance of the game just past the 20 minute mark, Andy White did well to wriggle free on the left hand side of the area and his curling shot was only palmed away by Mildenhall straight into the path of Lawrence who blazed his left foot shot well over - the youngster probably had time to have a touch first. In fact, Lawrence was by far the Stags most dangerous player in the opening 45 minutes, time and time again he beat two markers and delivered some fine crosses only to see Richardson deal well with the defensive headers. One Lawrence cross was met by Mildenhall who spilled the ball but Williamson's effort was cleared for a corner. The Stags were now on top, with Curtis excellent in the midfield, winning the battle with Caskey and Bolland. Pilkington was fortunate to escape punishment when he appeared to handle the ball outside the area, it was very close and for a moment it appeared the Stags skipper had lost his bearings, however, the Assistant signalled the ball was just inside the area when the keeper picked it up - from my view it looked as though the keeper was outside the area. Another ball into the area by Lawrence caused more problems for the visitors defence and only a goal line clearance prevented the Stags going ahead, indeed there were claims from some of the Stags players that the ball had in fact crossed the line.
The Stags were forced into a change at half time, the excellent Lawrence had taken a knock during the first half and was replaced by Craig Disley. County should have taken the lead just five minutes into the 2nd half when Stallard was put clean through but lifted his shot past Pilkington but also past the far post. Immediately, Keith Curle then replaced Matt Gadsby, a surprising substitution as Gadsby had again performed well. Two minutes later and the Stags had the lead. Corden fired a low cross where White was on hand at the far post to steer the ball home. The tiring White was replaced on the hour by youngster Craig Mitchell and within 5 minutes the youngster had increased the Stags lead, firing home an unstoppable shot after being put through by Williamson. The Stags were now rampant and after several near misses added a third on 71 minutes, and what a goal it was. Wayne Corden, the target of a few boos from the County fans after his celebrations of a Stags goal at Meadow Lane earlier in the season, picked the ball up on the left, cut inside and curled a stunning right foot shot into the top corner - a real high class goal like many scored by the winger during his Stags career. Many will wonder what Billy Dearden would have thought after seeing the goal, it was he who brought Corden to the club after being with him at Port Vale. It appeared the game was over, and really it should have been as Mendes twice wasted chances when clean through, the first chance was saved by Mildenhall but the second he failed to get his shot away quicly enough and was tackled by Richardson. County were given some hope with 11 minutes remaining when Stallard volleyed low past Pilkington, but the Stags still looked comfortable. However, this comfort was ended as Stallard grabbed a 2nd with 3 minutes remaining and memories flooded back of Bristol City as the board went up to incredibly signal 5 minutes of added time. However, the Stags, and in particular Mitchell and Williamson, managed to easily survive the added time to record a vital victory and lift the side to 17th in the division.
Some excellent performances, especially for half an hour in the 2nd half when the attacking display was reminiscent of last season. Corden was electric on the left in the 2nd half, County defenders could hardly get near him and Williamson really shone. Rhys Day had another impressive game, as did Gadsby until rather surprisingly taken off. Craig Mitchell was excellent when he came on, he scored a great goal and chased everything and Adam Eaton had another solid game at left back. However, for his tenacity and ball winning, especially in the 1st half, Tom Curtis was my man of the match.


Mark D is back tonight with a guest review of the new 12" talking Scarface from Sideshow Toys. What's the scoop, Mark?
This is Sideshow Toys' talking 12" version of Tony Montana, AKA Scarface, as played by Al Pacino from Brian DePalma's 1983 cult classic film "Scarface". The film is about Tony's rise from Cuban refugee, to cocaine kingpin, and the hard fall due to his arrogance, paranoia and drug use. The film is a classic "guy's movie" and this was a "must have" for me when I first saw its announcement. The figures come in two versions, the standard release figure and the Sideshow Exclusive figure. This review is for the standard figure.
If you've ever read my reviews before, you know that boxes are nothing more than functional transportation vessels to me. I immediately rip them apart to get at the goodies inside. However, this box does feature great graphics and photos, and a flap style box that allows full viewing of the contents. The color scheme and layout is meant to duplicate the Scarface movie poster. For those collectors that like to keep the boxes, this figure and accessories are easily removed and could be easily returned.
The head sculpt is great. It is a great sculpt of an evil drug kingpin. Why only 3 ½ stars if I like it so much? While it's an incredible sculpt, I really don't think the sculptor, Andy Bergholtz, 100% captured Pacino's image. There's no doubt who this supposed to be, but I just don't think it's the dead-on likeness like we've come to expect from Sideshow. I still really, really like the sculpt though.
The head is and hands are the only things that are really painted. Sideshow did an overall great job on the head. The edges are crisp and the blending is smooth. The eyes are EXCELLENT. The gloss coating and shading around the eyes really give the look of a tormented, villainous thug whacked out on cocaine and power. The right hand appears to be a new sculpt and features a ring on his finger. The paint ops are smooth here as well and feature Tony's heart tattoo on his hand.
Sideshow has articulation that is comparable to the other top figures on the market. Sideshow lists Tony as having 30 points of articulation. The joints are very solid, if not a little stiff. One thing that I noticed though is that instead of a ball joint neck like most Sideshow figures, Tony's head is mounted on the body. This allows left & right turning only, limiting his poses. My guess on the change in necks is that it is probably due to the talking mechanism taking up space in the body. In the past I've rated my Sideshow figures at 3 ½ stars in this category. I considered lowering my score because of the neck but decided it didn't affect the figure that much. Overall it is a very poseable yet stable figure.
The figure is clad in a great 3-piece white suit. The material has a certain sheen to it, which I'm guessing is to simulate the satin or sharkskin suits Tony would wear. He's also wearing a wide collared red shirt beneath it. The whole ensemble goes together nicely. The tailoring is excellent on the suit. The shirt collars are bit thick but it's still nice. Tony's also got a gold chain and some half-boots that are nicely done.
Tony comes with the traditional Sideshow stand, an M-92 pistol, a switchblade and four bundles on cash. All of the items are nicely detailed and fit in nicely with the figure.
I always rank the figures on this category because after all, it is supposed to be a toy. This figure is more suited to striking a pose on a collector's shelf than it is riding an avalanche down a back yard log pile in a child's adventure. The Sideshow figures are overall pretty sturdy, especially when compared to some of the other high-end figures but they are obviously meant to be displayed and not played with.

I got him on line for $15 from an e-bay auction. YES!! $15!! At this price he was a steal. Most online dealers are selling him in the $30-45 range, which is also a pretty good buy for a Sideshow figure. Non 1/6 collectors may think this is a high price, but it's on line with today's market.
This figure is a great addition to my collection. I already have a spot picked out for him on my "Bad Guys" shelf. He'll be grabbed up by the cross market of 1/6 scale enthusiasts and "Scarface" enthusiasts.
Figure from the collection of Mark D.

The SHAKEN Governance Model: Setting Robocall Mitigation Protocols into Action in the Network – An ATIS Webinar
05/06/2019 Marcella Wolfe Media Advisory, Press Releases
WHAT: ATIS is bringing together key experts for a series of webinars delivering insight into the coordinated industry-driven work taking place to combat unwanted robocalling and caller ID spoofing. This webinar will examine how the Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs (SHAKEN) specification is being set into action in the network using the SHAKEN governance model. It will cover how the governance model was formed and the key requirements behind it. Presenters discuss the FCC direction to industry on how to implement the governance structure. They also address industry progress to formally establish the Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority (STI-GA), which operates under the auspices of ATIS, as well as the work to select the STI Policy Administrator (STI-PA), the organization that applies and enforces the rules to put the SHAKEN framework into action as defined by the STI-GA. Efforts to extend SHAKEN internationally are also covered with an introduction to the Canadian SHAKEN governance structure.
WHEN: Tuesday, May 14, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET.
SPEAKERS: Jim McEachern, ATIS Principal Technologist, with Moderator Brent Struthers, ATIS Director of the Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority (STI-GA)
Eric Burger, Chief Technology Officer, FCC
Linda Vandeloop, AT&T, Chair, Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority (STI-GA)
Marian Hearn, Executive Director, Canadian Secure Token Governance Authority
BACKGROUND: Working with the IETF's STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) protocol, the ATIS-SIP Forum SHAKEN specification provides a practical mechanism for authenticating calls. The SHAKEN Governance Model webinar is the second in a series. The first provided an introduction to the SHAKEN protocol, an important tool to reduce illegal robocalls, a top customer complaint received by both Federal and state regulators.

Puppies are undeniably cute, aren't they?
With those big happy eyes, tongues quick with the licks, and over-sized feet that are sometimes hard to control, they seem like the perfect gift.
But think again. There are a number of reasons why giving a puppy as a gift, especially over the holidays, isn't a good idea.
Puppies are living creatures. They are a long-time investment: ideally, a life-time for the dog. They're not like a sweater: you shouldn't give a person a dog with the idea that they can take it to a shelter if they don't like the size, breed, or color. Although dogs are sometimes surrendered for those reasons, or simply because the owner grows tired of the dog, it is hard on the dog.
Puppies and dogs can be expensive. Crates, beds, and toys can be pricey. Leashes and collars add up as well. There are on-going expenses of food and treats. Even healthy dogs require trips to the vets for shots and check-ups. Medical problems or injuries can add even more to that bill.
Not all landlords will allow dogs. Even if your friend or family member lives in a place that allows a dog now, that's no guarantee they will in the future. A change in job, marital status, or building ownership may force an unforeseen move. Owning a dog can limit your options when looking for a place to rent.
Even if the person you are getting the dog for can afford a dog and owns a home, not every dog is a fit for every person. Some dogs are more likely to trigger allergies in some people than others. Some people enjoy grooming their dog more than others do. Some people are athletic and love the outdoors; others are couch-potatoes. Dogs can be the same way. Some dogs are high-energy and would love a 5-mile run every morning. Others prefer to chill out with a good chew toy and watch TV.
Let's say you pick the perfect dog for the person. The person you get it for has the money and accommodations to take in a dog. The pup you pick has the perfect grooming and physical needs to suit the temperament of the owner. The holidays still aren't a good time to introduce a puppy.
Why not? Because for most people, all routine flies totally out of the window at holiday times. Puppies need routine. They need to be fed at the same time each day, and let out at the same time. They need to know what to expect.
Your first thought might be that being home for two weeks solid will be the perfect time to train your puppy. You can take him out whenever he needs to go out, be with him all the time, keep him company, get him potty-trained, and get him thoroughly used to you. That's good in theory, but what happens the first day you go to work? Your puppy will be thoroughly lost and confused. Where is his person? This wonderful person who spent every moment with him is suddenly gone, and the puppy doesn't know why.
It will be much better in the long run for both you and your puppy if you get him used to his real routine as soon as possible.
If you really, really want to gift a puppy, give an IOU for a puppy as the present for the holiday. Then after the holidays have died down, you can go with the potential owner to pick out just the puppy the owner wants. You can even help get the bed, food, crate, collar, leash, toys—all the things the puppy will need in his new home. You might even consider paying for one or two vet visits as part of the gift.
Puppies and dogs are wonderful additions to many families. But instead of just giving the puppy to someone, be part of helping that person pick out the perfect dog to be part of the family for years to come.

Mark Gold: "It's unlikely for it to be one disease, and to have one cure for everyone"
Submitted on Fri, 11/15/2013 - 11:34
The hits keep coming on "10 Words or Less," the feature in which I ask brief questions of interesting people and request brief answers in return. Today's participant is one of the foremost living experts on addiction. He is a Distinguished Alumni Professor and the Donald Dizney chair of the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Florida College of Medicine. Before we proceed, here's the usual "10 Words" disclaimer: "Ten words" is an ethic, not a limit, so please, no counting. Besides, if you think it's easy, let's see you do it.
Name Mark Gold, MD
Residence Gainesville, Fla.
Born when, where New York City, May 1949
A formative experience "Listening to my mother, a Julliard-trained pianist, play the piano, and watching her give piano lessons."
What did you want to be when you grew up? "I really didn't know. At one point, I wanted to be a history professor. At another point, I wanted to be an English professor. Then a psychology professor. And then I found neuroscience while at Washington University in St Louis."
Family circumstance "Married 42-plus years, 4 children, 3 grandchildren."
A favorite pastime outside of work "Thinking."
Some wisdom you've gained from that "I have a list of patents and inventions. My mind experiments are important to me and some of them have been relevant to my career, But all the time I've spent thinking about problems has at least helped me formulate approaches and solutions. So I spend a lot of time thinking, rather than doing."
Something you like to do outdoors "Run."
What's your best time? "I've never been in a race."
Someone outside your family who influenced you "A recently deceased uncle, Louis Stoll. He was a scientist and generally great thinker. Early in my life, grade school and so forth, he was my science mentor and helped me think about physics and chemistry and understand the literature."
Do you have close nonprofessional experience with addiction? "No."
Is it a malady of the mind or the body? "If you think about it in 1971, they didn't even think that tobacco smoking was addicting. So addiction in '71 was the presence of a physical withdrawal syndrome. Experts now consider withdrawal to be a sideshow. They would say addiction is a disease of the brain."
Are drugs the best way to arrest addiction? "That's more of an experimental question. People in the field know that addiction develops over time, and also now appreciate that it develops more quickly in some than others. The process is highly variable, [including when the age at which exposure begins, trauma experience, and prenatal conditions] It's unlikely for it to be one disease, and to have one cure for everyone.
"I think a lot about this. I once went to Ireland on a UN trip, or maybe it was World Health Organization consulting. The question was whether the gene for alcoholism was present in Irish people. and whether that explained why there were so many families with generations of alcoholism. My approach was to see about the prenatal diet and advice that mothers were given when they were pregnant. Many of the women were encouraged to drink beer for its iron content and nutrient value! There were ad campaigns encouraging women to drink beer during their pregnancy. It was clear to me that instead of over-ascribing to the genetic basis to the number of alcoholics, we could say part was genetics and part was epigenetics and exposure."
Is one substance particularly worse than others? "Tobacco. Even to this day, the most common addictions on the planet are tobacco-related. In the US, the No. 1 cause of addiction-related death is smoking and second-hand smoke. Second hand smoke should never be underestimated."
Does food addiction exist? "Definitely. It's not really a question to me. The basic scientific evidence is very strong, at least for constituents of food having reinforcing effects that appear like drugs of abuse, causing binging, loss of control, and drug-like neurochemical changes in the brain."
Is all obesity explained by food addiction? "No no no no no. Not at all."
Care to estimate how much of it is? "It's difficult to determine, but I think we'll figure that out over the short period of time. I don't think that's going to be debated forever."
Can we say a substance is addictive, since it might be to some and not others? "We can say that in animal experiments of non-human primates living in the wild, it's pretty clear that animals that have different preferences. … I think it's better to say there's wide variation and diversity. It's likely that some people conserve a lot of energy from every meal, and some people are born with different metabolisms, and maybe there are lessons in those extremes that will help us develop new treatments."
A way in which public perceptions have changed "Addiction is recognized as a disease now and the need for treatment is recognized as not simply the addicts' fault. First use is voluntary but addiction is a disease of the brain. … However much scientific progress has been recognized and some things have changed, shame, stigma, and discrimination are still common for addicts."
A way in which obesity research should change? "Many researchers are working on diabetes or nephrology or orthopedics. They're in the consequences instead of the disease itself. I think attempts to focus on causes and prevention strategies and early intervention and treatment will bring everyone back to the food-brain interactions and how to think about the hijacking of the brain."
Is sustainability a global issue or a personal one? "It's a global issue, but every person has a role to play."
Something that sustains you "I'm an optimistic person and I enjoy my work and really enjoy helping other people. I think that giving is sustaining."

A: You can try re-initializing the instance of the webdriver after the quit() using its init method. Like this:
from selenium import webdriver
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/Users/n/Downloads/chromedriver')

driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/')
driver.maximize_window()

driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/header/div/ol[2]/li[2]/a[1]').click()
time.sleep(5)

driver.quit()

Our ships on the Douro
On the Douro, one of the most popular rivers offered by CroisiEurope, the fleet grows almost year by year. Thus, in 2017, the MS Miguel Torga was added to the list of cruise ships present in Portugal and has, for the first time a swimming pool on the sun deck.
Shorter than the other ships of CroisiEurope, our fleet in Portugal are designed to navigate on the Douro, the Golden River, which is often narrow and winding, with many locks.Nevertheless spectacular.
Departing from Porto, the ships below will take you on a cruise through vineyards, quintas and valleys tucked into the heart of the traditional lands of the country.

Never forget that our very Faith is a precious gift from God that must always be protected, nourished and treasured.
The latest installment of Star Wars, The Last Jedi, has led to countless arguments and objections among the galactic fan base. And though it may be a fool's errand to look for Christian ethics in Star Wars or other popular movies, it is clear that movies can have a formative effect on viewers, and that they often present teaching moments. When such moments arise, we should make the most of them. In this case, I'll look at the common objection that Luke Skywalker would not have turned away from The Force.
The Last Jedi opens with Luke living on a remote island, on an even more remote planet, apart from the rest of civilization. Luke has seen his star pupil turn to the "dark side of the Force," and he has run away and hidden. He has not turned to the dark side, but he has for the time being, we are led to believe, rejected the Force and his role as master. Though he blames the pupil, Kylo Ren, for his fall, Luke mostly blames himself. His best works seem to have amounted to nothing. Thus, he has given up.
For many fans and viewers, this does not seem like the same Luke Skywalker who so bravely fought in the other films. They object: This could not be the same character! Luke would never turn away!
In another fantasy story, maybe the hero wouldn't turn away from the good. But to believe that real people do not turn away from real good, even after choosing it, is itself a fantasy.
In real life, people often turn away from the good. Sometimes it happens in one sudden act of rebellion, as with Adam and Eve. Much more often, it happens slowly.
We can argue about why they turn away, but that people—even heroes—turn away is obvious.
The sad truth is that people seem to turn away from even the ultimate good, God, all the time; as has become evident in almost every recent poll on the subject. And aren't all of us acquainted with at least a few fallen-away Catholics? Most of them likely never had a grand plan to leave the Church—but they did leave. Yet somehow, in the midst of all this, we can settle into a spiritual easy chair and believe that we could never fall.
It is a dangerous conceit to believe that we have reached—or can reach—a spiritual level in this life from which we cannot turn away from God. Even the greatest saints have faced some of the greatest temptations. The heroism of those such as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux—who faced a barrage of temptations near the end of her life—does not lie in their inability to sin, but rather in their free will victories over temptation. Simply put, they were always on guard against the attacks of the devil, and we must be as well.
But while it is dangerous to think that we have reached a state of unshakable faith in this life, so is it dangerous to think that we have fallen past the point of no return. Though we may have turned away from God, we can turn back to Him while we live. If our friends and family have turned away from God, they can turn back, and we must pray that they do. Even in the Star Wars universe, Luke Skywalker had a friend come to lead him back. Maybe we can be an instrument that helps our friends return.
And never forget that our very Faith is a precious gift from God that must always be protected, nourished and treasured.


There have been many funny shows on television throughout the years, but you would have a difficult time topping what was available with The Big Bang Theory. The American sitcom gained a worldwide audience, and many of us would not miss a show, regardless of what else might be taking place. We enjoy watching it on reruns and we laugh at the same old shows, just as if it were the first time we were seeing them.
Primarily, the show centers on 5 characters that live in Pasadena, California. Those characters include Sheldon and Leonard, who are both physicists at Caltech and live in an apartment together. Their friends and coworkers include an astrophysicist, Raj, and Howard, the aerospace engineer. The main characters also include a waitress, Penny, who lives across the hall. A number of supporting characters have also been included and promoted to primary characters in the show.
After you watch a show, such as The Big Bang Theory for a while, you become quite familiar with the characters. Perhaps you may even identify with one of the characters, whether you would like to admit it or not. This simple quiz can help to show you which of those characters are most like you.


Most diets fail from being too extreme. By depriving your body of carbohydrates and fat for an extended period of time, you will experience intense cravings. If you give in and binge, you can feel guilty afterwards. It's a vicious cycle. The solution? A weekly cheat meal that's planned. Once a week, eat a meal of whatever you're craving. Pizza, ice cream, and cheeseburgers are all fair game. The reasoning behind this strategy is more than to give you a break from eating clean. A weekly splurge can help you stay on a healthy eating plan for the long term and boost your metabolism, among other benefits.
Weekly cheat meals provide more than just a break from the monotony of a strict diet; they come with a slew of benefits. The primary advantage of incorporating them into your nutrition regimen is that doing so will help boost your metabolism. After a long time on a strict diet, your body starts to adapt and progress can plateau. Consuming a high calorie meal once a week pushes your metabolism into overdrive by forcing it to break down a meal much larger than normal.
In addition to boosting your metabolism, a planned cheat meal can help you stay in shape consistently. Even if you're following a strict diet for a number of weeks, or even months, you will eventually have to give in and eat some junk food. Eating well for six out of seven days per week is hard work, but a break each week allows for longevity. Also, because the cheat is scheduled, you can enjoy the food you've been craving all week guilt-free, as opposed to feeling like you're not following your diet.
Another great benefit of a cheat is that it provides energy for the following week of workouts. An influx of carbs replenishes your body's glycogen stores, giving you energy for the next week of workouts. Following a strict diet is demanding both mentally and physically, so being able to eat a few slices of pizza a week is a great way to take a break from your diet with minimal consequence.
Before you go order an XL pizza and a pint of ice cream, there are a few guidelines you need to know. It is easy to go overboard with cheat meals, which can supersede the benefits.
Scheduling your cheat meal on a Sunday can help motivate you to stay on your diet during the week, knowing a reward is ahead. The end of the week is perfect because the splurge is a reward after a long week of workouts, and will help you replenish your body while killing cravings. When you wake up on Monday morning, you're back to a clean diet.
You can have as much of whatever you are craving as you want, but keep the meal to one sitting. One of the pitfalls to avoid is having your cheat meal turn into a cheat day or even worse, a cheat weekend. This can sabotage results.
If possible, try having your cheat meal in the morning. This way, you will be able to use it as fuel throughout the day instead of going to bed on a (really) full stomach.

The Elections Commission (EC) has accepted the candidacy application submitted by opposition coalition's presidential candidate for Presidential Elections 2018, Hinnavaru MP Ibrahim Mohamed Solih (Ibu).
EC tweeted this Saturday morning that it has accepted Ibu's candidacy and handed him the official letter of approval.
Ibu, the leader of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)'s parliamentary group, spoke to the press before leaving for B. Atoll on a tour this Saturday morning.
He said EC's acceptance of his candidacy was an important milestone in the efforts by opposition parties to win the election.
"There's still many to be done. There is some tough, hard work ahead. But we will win the election on September 23 by a landslide with the efforts of the coalition and our supporters," said Ibu.
