The Guild's preliminary focus is on two distinct topics. The first is Medieval Swordsmanship, or armizare, and focuses on the weapons of the European 'knightly class' used during the 13th – 15th centuries. The medieval material includes both armoured and unarmoured applications. The second course is Renaissance Swordsmanship, and focuses primarily on the rapier and other weapons used from roughly the mid-16th through mid-17th centuries.
Students will find that the underlying principles of movement, timing, distance, body mechanics, etc., that are applicable to the first weapon they learn, will largely carry over to all of the others. Part of the Guild's methodology is to focus on the underlying principles and body mechanics common to all of these weapons. Understanding of how a particular weapon's morphology affects these core principles are then taught through a study of the individual weapons themselves.
Novice Curriculum
New students are required to begin training at one of the outside introductory classes. After completion of one of these courses, they may be invited to join the Guild as a Novice. The two introductory courses offered by the Guild are the Italian Longsword and the Italian Rapier.
The Italian Longsword is based on the work of two 15th century masters: Fiore dei Liberi's Fior di Battaglia (1409), and the De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi of Filipo Vadi (c.1482 – 87). The student will learn the basic poste (guards or stances), footwork, cuts, thrusts, and defenses.
The Italian Rapier method taught is an overview of the weapon as it evolved and was used during the last half of the 16th century, based on the work of Salvator Fabris' Scienza d'Arme (1606), with additional material from Ridolfo Capo Ferro's Gran Simulacro dell' Arte e dell Uso della Scherma (1610) and Nicoletto Giganti's Scola Overo Teatro (1606). Students learn the basic guards, hand positions, footwork, thrusts, cuts, and the crucial concepts of tempo (time) and misura (distance.)
Close Quarter Combat is a part of historical swordsmanship and is taught to all students. The Italian masters-at-arms taught a wide variety of techniques: joint-locks, strikes, throws, ground fighting, unarmed vs. dagger attacks, dagger vs. dagger attacks, and improvised weapons. At the Novice level, grappling covers a series of drills meant to teach basic joint locks, throws and grips, a series of unarmed wrestling techniques, and a series of ten unarmed defenses against a dagger-wielding attacker.
Novices invited to formally join the Chicago Swordplay Guild will continue as novices for up to a year before being invited to test for the scholar grade. The Guild curriculum is based on a series of "courses" taught at the different grades, or ranks. You can read more about our ranking system under Grades and Prize Playing.
Scholar Curriculum
There are many "branches" of the European martial art "tree" (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish), and while they share many basic methods and principles, they are still unique and distinct. The Guild's curriculum focuses on the Italian tradition, and strives to keep the sub-traditions that make up our curriculum clearly defined, rather than creating a modern amalgam. Continuing the division of Medieval and Renaissance Swordsmanship our Scholar curriculum includes:
Close Quarter Combat (All students)
CQC is comprised of grappling and dagger combat, building upon the foundations you developed in the Novice Curriculum. This leads directly into the dagger curriculum, which is in two parts: unarmed vs. dagger defense and dagger vs. dagger combat.
Medieval Swordsmanship (Armizare)
The Armizare curriculum is built upon the longsword novice course, and applies those lessons to the use of three weapons: the longsword, arming sword and spear. At this level, student will also have a chance to study all three of these weapons, as well as grappling and dagger fighting, as they are applied within the context of armoured combat.
Renaissance Swordsmanship
By the later 16th century the longsword or sword and buckler sword alone had been replaced by the sword alone as the core weapon of the sala d'arme. Only once this weapon had been mastered was the use of companion arms taught, occasionally followed by polearms and two-handed sword. Although the rapier has come to symbolize the era, the older, military sword continued to be used throughout the period. The three weapons of the Scholar grade includes rapier, rapier and dagger and arming sword.
After successful completion of the Scholar's courses, a student may petition to test and play the prize for the grade of Free Scholar. Historically, Scholars would train and test in two weapons (usually sword and long sword), along with consecutive training in close quarter combat. Likewise, the CSG Free Scholar's Prize is played with the three weapons taught in the respective curriculum.
Style of Instruction
The historical material left to us is, sadly, incomplete; the medieval treatises were not so much manuals, as treatises or mnemonic reminders of concepts taught through the examples of specific techniques–applications of those techniques.
When modern students attempt to reconstruct these techniques, they are thus faced with much that remains unsaid —or undrawn— that must be filled in. Rather than approaching the treatises as a basket of techniques, we rather want to distill —or to borrow (with credit) the distillations of other modern students— and extract the principles that underlie the system. This then presents us with a conceptual framework into which the historical techniques can be understood in context. To this end, wherever possible we have based our methods on the historical Masters of the period to reduce as much as possible the infusion of outside variables. However, the simple truth is that pragmatism and openness are necessary to reconstruct nearly lost combat arts, and the Guild freely admits to adopting teaching methods or concepts from outside sources in the development of drills and teaching methods.
The Guild's teaching method consists of several elements: context, solo drill, partnered "set" play, partnered "loose" play, and "free" play (fencing).
Context: The first step in presenting the material to students is to provide the historical background for the master involved and for the weapon at hand. Next, elements of the techniques are distilled and presented, verbally and physically, and recorded in at least written —if not photographic— form to key the student's memory. The instructor then steps through the technique with the student, correcting gross and subtle errors. The student is then ready to follow drills designed to build muscle and intellectual memory for the movements involved. Usually these are repetition drills that should be done outside of class as well as within. It often takes 1000+ repetitions for a student to integrate a technique; hence it is absolutely critical that students do key drills at home —daily if possible.
Solo drills: Solo drills are used to teach the fundamental skills of swordsmanship —balance, biomechanics, footwork, cutting, and thrusting. Examples include: air-cutting, pell-work, and slow motion and full speed footwork drills. The solo drills instill in the student the "alphabet" of historical swordsmanship.
Set-play: Set-plays are pre-planned sequences of attack and defense, derived directly from the historical source material. They are used to teach fundamental techniques in a way that will encode them in the student's muscle memory. Once the set play has been memorized, students can then vary the distance, timing and rhythm to further explore how the techniques can be applied. Set-plays essentially use the "alphabet" of the solo drills to create "sentences".
Loose-play: After the student has internalized a number of set-plays, loose-play takes the lessons one step further. One student still makes a pre-planned attack, but the other responds with a defense of their choosing. By varying their timing, rhythm, entry, etc., the attacker can provide the defender with a variety of subtle variants. Continuing the speech metaphor, these drills give the student a chance to develop their ability to speak extemporaneously.
Free-play: Finally free-play or fencing is extremely beneficial as well as being both rewarding and entertaining. It finalizes the work begun in the earlier drills and further develops the student's sense of initiative, timing, and focus, as well as the intangible, but ultimately equally important skills of courage, courtesy, honesty, and fair-play. Having learned to speak, it is the "dialogue of steel." Although free-play usually comprises only a small portion of class time it is strongly encouraged.
Throughout the curriculum emphasis is placed on the underlying biomechanics and principles of fencing, and their application to a specific weapon, instead of the weapons themselves. Although there is a wide variety of weaponry from the period, students will find that the underlying principles of movement, timing, distance, body mechanics, etc., that are applicable to the first weapon they learn, will carry over to all of the others. The study of historical fencing, therefore, becomes a process in which new material continually builds upon previous instruction.

Behlen Visits Columbus High School Welding Class | Behlen Mfg. Co.
COLUMBUS, Neb. Students at Columbus High School Friday got a firsthand introduction to what a life working at Behlen Building Systems might look.
Tyler Bertsch, Behlen corporate training manager, spent time with Tracy Dodson's welding classes at CHS to speak about welding opportunities with Behlen.
Columbus Career Coordinator Heidi Elliott said that Behlen has been a great supporter of its STEM Academy.
She said companies visiting Columbus are always looking for opportunities for students in the form of apprenticeships, internships and part-time work that all could lead to full-time employment.
"Welding is definitely an area where students are getting an interest in," Elliot.
She said that a lot of companies in Columbus need welders on a consistent basis and wants to ensure the pipeline of new workers is steady. There is a need to have students ready to fill these roles.
Bertsch said in his presentation that Behlen will pay a worker's college tuition for welding classes in-full if the individual works for Behlen's for at least two years.
He said that Behlen offers apprenticeships, internships, part-time and full-time opportunities for those looking for employment.
Edwin Ortiz and Dawson Dreifurst, students in Dodson's welding class, both expressed interest in pursuing welding careers after high school.
Ortiz said he loves how metal can be broken apart and brought back together again with welding.
Dreifurst said he has had an interest in the way things are made since he was a child.
"I always dissembled thing and put them back together and the whole manufacturing has really interested me," Dreifurst said.
Dreifurst considers himself a decent welder and looks to get better with more experience.
Both students believe that interning with Behlen's could help them further their skills for future jobs.
Dodson said he tells students their freshmen year as they begin manufacturing classes that they will link academics with industrial training.
He said that manufacturing classes incorporate math, wiring and science into the curriculum.
"We made coping saws and we had plans you had to follow that we wrote ourselves," Dodson said.
He added that math is involved at every stage of the manufacturing process as well science.
"'What is this made out of?' is one of the main questions Dodson ask his students to think about and always has them referring back to the periodic table of elements.
He said that Behlen has a vested interest in the welding program taking place at Columbus High School.
Dodson said Behlen enjoys finding students with potential and explaining to them what the company offers in terms of employment opportunities.
"Someone could just read a brochure about any company in town but when the students hear the info from someone who could be their boss one day it has a lot of meaning," Dodson said.
Bertsch said welding is a viable career path with potential, especially for the students that have an aptitude for hands on learning.
He said some students are averse to sitting in a traditional setting and listing to lectures and more receptive to hands on experiences.
Bertsch said Behlen previously hired students from Columbus High School, Schuyler Central High School, Twin river High School and Lakeview High School.
He said that Behlen is looking to hire people with a willingness to grow and learn while also being dependable and punctual.


FinCon badges make it easy to spot big name bloggers.
One of my biggest regrets of last year was being unable to attend the inaugural year of FinCon and supporting an industry that has treated me so well over the years.
With this year's conference just a couple of days away, I thought it might be useful to discuss how you might approach other bloggers, big and small, and effective in using the short time you'll be in Denver.
While the title of this post may be "how to approach big name bloggers," these techniques will work with anyone.
Your goal should be meeting new people and getting to know them.
It's immaterial whether they get a hundred pageviews a day or a hundred thousand.
Often time, the key difference between a big name and a smaller one is time. Don't psyche yourself out!
Reach Out Before the Conference: Use email, social media, or even a phone call to reach out to someone before the conference. It creates a connection, however nascent, that you can build on when you get the opportunity to meet them at a conference.
It might be something as simple as letting the blogger know you look forward to hearing his or her talk or just saying that you look forward to running into them at the conference. If you don't feel comfortable cold emailing, ask a fellow blogger you know for an introduction.
Find the Right Time: This is absolutely crucial. If the person you want to talk to is engaged in conversation with someone else, that is not the right time to start talking to them.
If you see them walking in the hallway alone or sitting around the table by themselves, just walk up and introduce yourself. Ask if you can walk with them to wherever they're going and just start chatting it up.
Refine Your Pitch: Why do you want to meet them? Is it to get a guest post on their site? Is it to partner on a project? Shelve that pitch. Don't use it but have it at the ready in case the blogger decides to cut to the chase.
The first time you meet someone shouldn't be the first time you pitch them on a great idea you have, no matter how great it is. You should have it ready in the event the blogger asks you about it.
Value His or Her Time: The conference is short and with so many attendees, it'll be hard to meet everyone. A lot of companies are attending and they've already started inviting people to coffee, dinners, and happy hours. Schedules are tight and so it's important to respect other people's time and avoid monopolizing too much of it.
Take Advantage of Networking Events: Did you see all those tours on Thursday? See all those lunches? The service project on Friday? Those are opportunities to meet a lot of people very quickly in a social setting. Take advantage of them.
Offer Coffee, Meals: If it's a blogger you've never met before but you've exchanged several emails, consider asking them to meet up for coffee or a meal. Meals are tricky because so many companies are sponsoring happy hours and meals but it never hurts to ask. Bribes of food always work well in any setting!
Be OK with Rejection: Here's the toughest suggestion of all – you might get rejected (politely of course). If you ask for coffee, he or she may say that they're schedule is packed. If you introduce yourself, he or she might look at their watch and politely tell you that they have to be somewhere else.
You have to be able to accept that graciously and either move onto someone else or reformulate a strategy to meet them again somewhere else. Don't despair, it's 99.99% not personal and just a product of an eventful and frenetic weekend.
Last but not least, be yourself, be cool, and have fun!
Jim created Bargaineering.com and is looking forward to his first FinCon. He'll be speaking on Saturday at 4PM in the Imperial Ballroom in a session titled "How I Built My Million Dollar Blog and Other Questions We Can Legally Answer." Bring your questions!
Thanks for the great advice, Jim. It\'ll be my first Financial Blogger Conference, too (never mind my first conference as a professional), and it\'s always good to have a sense of how to approach all the bloggers I\'ve admired and looked up to since I started figuring out how to pull my own finances together.
One thing I was truly happy about at FinCon I was how approachable and friendly everyone was. It was like meeting a bunch of friends you haven\'t seen in a long time.
If there\'s one thing I regret about the last FinCon was not meeting and talking to MORE people.
Really great advice, Jim. This is my first FinCon. Although I\'ve been to many conferences, I\'ve not been to one so niche-specific and I\'m interested to see how this one goes. I\'m really looking forward to meeting new people and learning.
I loved that you took your own advice and e-mailed me to let me know we\'ll be manning the expert tables at the same time. I\'m looking forward to meeting you!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at FINCON! Great advice Jim!
Smile and hi. Since we all work in the same industry (versus say at a more general conference like blogworld expo) it seemed to me like everyone was much more approachable and friendly. Afterall we all already kinda know each other from online interactions.
Also I would try to meet speakers AWAY from their sessions. They\'ll be mobbed at their talks, so it\'s usually easier to hit them up later. For example, my favorite moments last year include meeting Jeff Rose in the hallway and bumping into Flexo in the elevator.
I\'ll keep an eye out for Jim in the hallway.
Great thoughts, Jim! It\'s great to set aside a lot of time for wandering around and just chatting with anyone who\'s there. Last year, it was a great way to meet new people, and if I had the type of \"networking\" attitude that I only consider \"what\'s in it for me,\" I wouldn\'t have been happy. This year, I\'m intentionally scheduling some time with people in advance because I probably missed out on some things last year, but I\'m also looking forward to the mingling aspect.

What Is the Stay-at-Home Daughters Movement?
What the branch of the Christian Patriarchy Movement believes about family and young women.
Karen Swallow Prior
@KSPrior Facebook
The blogosphere has been agog recently over one feminist journal's feature-length article, "House Proud: The Troubling Rise of Stay-at-Home Daughters." If you are like me and hadn't heard of the stay-at-home daughters (SAHD) movement, here's a primer.
Sahd is connected to what detractors call the "Christian Patriarchy Movement," a phrase popularized by Kathryn Joyce's 2009 book, Quiverfull. In it she examines the lifestyles of a group of evangelical Christians who reject birth control and adhere to rigid gender roles they believe are scripturally based. The locus of these teachings, along with the SAHD philosophy that stems from them, is Vision Forum Ministries.
When a movement is said to be "rising" yet is essentially tied to a single organization, albeit one of considerable influence in some circles, perhaps the aforementioned journal doth protest too much. It seems that reports of the Christian Patriarchy Movement are greatly exaggerated—as are the rise, "troubling" or not, of stay-at-home ...

Outline and Assess the View That the Official Crime Statistics
Topic: Business › Construction
Sample donated: Lee Lyons
Outline and assess the view that the official crime statistics tell us more about the people involved in their collection than they tell us about crime and criminals [60 marks] Positivists believe that the official crime statistics (OSC) tell us about the crime & criminality and are very valuable. However, Intrepretivists would disagree and would criticise the OCS as they are socially constructed.
They argue that the OCS lack reliability and therefore validity because it tells us more about the people involved in their collection eg, the general public, the victims of crime, the mass media, the police and the courts.The OCS tells us more about police stereotypes and prejudices, judges and jurors, the role of the media, and their views than about actual crime and criminality. Also, Marxists disagree with the OCS as they tell us more about the ruling classes and the powerful controllers of society. The government collects information about crime via the OCS. The crimes are based on crimes reported by victims and the general public which have been recorded by the police, crimes detected and 'cleared up' by the police, and crimes reported to the British Crime Survey (BCS) in their annual victims survey.Positivist Sociologist believe that the OCS is useful because it gives an insight to the extent of crime eg, whether it is increasing or decreasing. The OCS also gives insight to who commit's the crimes eg, usually 16 -21 year old working class, African Caribbean male.
Positivists feel that the OCS helps explain why certain groups of people commit crime. The OCS produces quantitative data, which is often favoured by positivists. The OCS are used to establish trends and patterns in criminal activity eg, the capacity of crime and whether it is increasing/decreasing and the nature of crimes eg, violence or property related.Criminologist Reiner (2007) suggests that there are three distinct periods in time that are defined by the trend in criminal behaviour.
For example, in period one (late 1950's-1980) there was a rapid rise in recorded crime. In period two (1980's-1992) there was a crime explosion. And in period three (1992 onwards) there was a fall in crime but a raise in fear.
Intrepretivists criticise positivism and therefore the OCS, as they question the reliability and validity of the OCS. They believe that the OCS is ocially constructed, and tell us more about the groups involved in their collection then they do about crime and criminality so do not measure proper crime. Intrepretivists also talk about the dark figure of crime, particularly the Iceberg Theory, which explains how UK crime is made up of approximately 30% of crime we know about and huge 70% of crime we don't know about eg, unrecorded crime. Pilkington helps to elaborate on how the OCS lacks validity and reliability, as he says that the OCS doesn't include all crimes because minor offences are dealt with by the Inland Revenue.The use of self report studies is also criticised, as they refer to past illegal activities through a self completion questionnaire that is confidential and anonymous. However, these reports rely on memory, which can be hazy, making it low in validity and reliability. Sociologist Pilkington notes that the OCS doesn't include all crimes.
Minor crimes are dealt with by the Inland Revenue, which lowers validity and reliability. Also, some crimes do not even reach the OCS eg; institutions punish their own offenders so that the crime doesn't reach the police. This is done as so because the institutions do not want the bad publicity.
This results in the crimes not being reported or recorded. The changes in law also make it difficult for the OCS to be seen as a valid reliable source. For example, prior to 1991, marital rape wasn't a crime. So now that marital rape is illegal, and is therefore being reported as a crime, the rape figures seem to have increased when in fact there has been a change in law. It is argued that the OCS tells us more about the changing attitudes of the public towards crime and the reasons why some victims may report more crime or even continue to resist reporting crime.
These trends make the OCS unreliable. For example, today, victims are more likely to report crimes than in the 1950's because the majority of people have insurance, and therefore will need a crime number from the police. In the past, victims may have feared humiliation at the hands of the police and courts etc, for example, marital rape victims were not taken seriously. Also, victims may have feared they wouldn't have been believed, for example, victims of child abuse were only taken seriously after child line was founded in the 1980's.
Today, people from certain social groups such as minority ethnic groups and homosexuals may still be put off reporting crimes against them as they mistrust the police. The BCS Also suggest that crimes are not reported because people lacked confidence in the police's ability to clear up crimes, eg, clear up rates for burglary is only 10%. Also some crimes appear to have no victim and so will not be reported to the police, eg, personal drug use and prostitution seem to have no victim. The OCS may also tell us more about the role of the mass media and moral panics than about actual crime and criminals which again would make the OCS unreliable.Stanley Cohen argues that the mass media plays a key role in the construction of criminal statistics because most of the information that the public who report crime and suspicious behaviour get about crime comes from television and newspapers, particularly tabloid newspapers.
Therefore how we see crime and 'typical' potential criminals may be shaped by media reporting. The official crime statistics may be amplified or exaggerated by media reporting as seen in the deviance amplification spiral. This cycle results in and artificial increase in the official criminal statistics.So, overall, the official crime statistics for some juvenile crimes may simply reflect public intolerance fuelled by journalists' construction of moral panics in a bid to engage the public in 'newsworthy' stories eg, those guaranteed to boost the sale of newspapers or draw in a large viewing figures for television. Intrepretivists argue that the OCS tells us more about the nature of policing in the UK than they tell us about crime and criminality.
They tell us a great deal about police administrative procedures, how police officers interact with suspects especially those from relatively powerless social groups and police culture.There are 43 police forces in the UK and they do not all operate in the same standardised fashion and so they do not have the same priorities as each other. Cannabis, prostitution and homosexual importuning recorded on the OCS are unreliable, because some forces are tougher on these activities whilst others are not. The police also have the ability to use their discretion, and it is estimated that only 40% of crimes are reported.
A change in police practices and attitudes means a greater willingness to report sensitive crimes; therefore the rise in crime may be artificial.Also, since 1997, police numbers have increased by 15,000 and there has been a rise in the use of technology, leading to an artificial rise in the volume of crime as it is now easier to catch criminals. Technology increases police efficiency. The OCS is socially constructed as the power to ignore an incident, to give a warning or to arrest somebody. Racial stereotyping is a prominent feature of UK policing, as African Caribbean males are more likely to be stopped by the police. Some police officers see all black people as potentially criminal.Holdaway (2002) believes there is evidence of police stereotyping ethnic minority groups in terms of derogatory language, jokes and the way that officers from minority ethnic backgrounds are treated.
This notion is reinforced in the ch4 documentary 'The Secret Policeman' by journalist Mark Daly. Police often operate with stereotypical assumptions and labels about who is suspicious or criminal. The decision to stop and arrest somebody may be based entirely on whether the person fits the stereotype.Sociologists Hall &Kettle say that racial stereotyping has led to the over-policing of black areas, and according to Robin Oakley, institutional racism within the police has led to a severely negative impact on ethnic communities. It has also been suggested (Cain, Gaskell & Holdaway) that officers divide society into two categories- respectable and potential criminals If people fit into the 'potentially criminal' group they are more likely to be stopped arrested and charged.
Police occupational culture (canteen culture) is based on negative views within the workforce about ethnic minorities.Older officers tend to transmit racist attitudes to younger officers. According to Box, the police build up their culture because most are white, working class males who have failed academically. Because police see themselves as middle class and superior to the working class and ethnic minorities, they see their role as protectors of the middle class from these 'inferior' groups (Lambert). Police have also been criticised that they do not understand certain social groups and Smith &Gray suggest that this is because officers have convention views and are themselves critical of those whose ideas and lifestyles are different.The Marxist critique suggests that the capitalist state collects and constructs criminal statistics in order to serve the class interests of the capitalist class that controls it. The statistics serve an ideological function so whoever has the power to collate such statistics has the power to control and manipulate public opinion and concern, for example, the mass media's influence on moral panics.
Box argues that the ruling class amplifies working class and crimes and ethnic minority groups because they are perceived as the 'problem population' and they 'deserve' more social controls such as more policing around their areas.The middle class employers are also notorious for failing to maintain safe working conditions, often resulting in the death of an employee, which under any other circumstances would be classed as murder and the person responsible for the breach of health and safety would be prosecuted. Instead, the employer is faced with only a fine as so not to attract media attention. Box concludes that few people are aware of the crimes of the powerful or how serious these crimes are because society's attention is focused on the 'criminals' on the OCS. The crimes of the ruling classes are rendered invisible.Left Realism is sympathetic to both Intrepretivists and Marxist critiques.
It agrees that the media and police pay a disproportionate attention to certain social groups and the ruling class have little social controls. Lea and Young argue that this explanation I insufficient in explaining why working class and black youths are more likely to appear in criminal statistics. Left Realism is critical of both Intrepretivist and Marxist approaches and suggests that the statistics are socially constructed and that they are a product of the media, the police and ruling class practices.They argue that it is irresponsible of these theories not to recognise the effect that everyday crime and fear of crime is having on inner city communities. In conclusion, the OCS do tell us more about the people involved in the collection than about crime and criminality itself as the majority of the evidence supports this view.
As the OCS is collated by the ruling class; who are renowned in history for covering up their own mistakes and amplifying the mistakes of the powerless crimes; it is quite credible that the OCS also lacks reliability and validity.

Q: Count common ManyToMany members in queryset Assuming I have such models:
class Bar(models.Model):
    pass # some simple Model goes here

class Foo(models.Model):
    bars = models.ManyToManyField(Bar)

And some variable main_object = Foo() with bars filled, how can I make a Queryset so that it's annotated with the number of common bars elements betweeen each entity and main_object?
Example:
There are three Bar records, with primary keys 1, 2 and 3. main_object has pk=2 as member set in bars.
Foo has two records: main_object and another with pk=1 set in bars. In this case, I want an annotation that has the value of 0, since said record has no common Bar foreign keys with main_object.
I can imagine something similar to Foo.objects.filter(bars__in=<some_values_here>) but instead of simply checking presence, actually counting it like from django.db.models.Count.
Is it even solvable via Querysets or I should resort to manual counting through loops?
In practical use, such way of querying can be useful in similarity ranking, but it seems non-trivial for me.

A: You can count with:
from django.db.models import Count, Q

Foo.objects.annotate(
    common_count=Count(
        'bars',
        filter=Q(bars__foo=main_object)
    )
)
or if you only want to retrieve objects that have at least one Bar in common:
Foo.objects.filter(
    bars__foo=main_object
).distinct()

Master Chief Shows Fierce in Halo Series Trailer!
January 14, 2022 Kalika Ayuna Movies
Lately, many streaming services have started adapting various popular games into exclusive series for their shows, one of which is Paramount+ which is working on a sci-fi series called Halo . The Halo game franchise itself is a First Person Shooter game that was first published by Microsoft Studios in 2001 to be played on Microsoft Windows and Xbox. Lots of fans can't wait to see how Paramount brings the live-action Halo series to life .
The Halo series will tell the story of a war in the 26th century between humanity and the dangerous aliens known as the Covenant. The series, directed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane, will star Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Jen Taylor as Dr. Catherine Halsey/AI Cortana, Yerin Ha as Kwan Ha, Charlie Murphy as Makee, Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, Bokeem Woodbine as Soren-066, Olive Gray as Miranda Keyes, and many more. Recently, Paramount released the first trailer for Halo which shows many epic scenes.
There's a lot shown in the trailer, from big cities and locations in the bowels of a planet, then many spaceships that are very much like in the game, and the most obvious is the clearer appearance of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. . In the trailer footage, it is clear how iconic the armor worn by the Master Chief is, the army code 117 is clearly visible on his left chest, as well as the helmet with a gold visor that has managed to make fans nostalgic.
Although much of the material is taken directly from the game, such as property and character designs, it is possible that the Halo series will take a slightly different direction from the game. Previously, there had been rumors that the daughter of the iconic character Captain Keyes was told to grow up as an orphan who was raised by the Covenant aliens, so there might be humans on the Covenant's side, even though all the antagonists in the game are purely evil aliens.
Because this first trailer doesn't explain what Halo's plot will be like, there are still many mysteries that remain unanswered. Who is Master Chief's main enemy, then on which planet will he fight? Hopefully the next promotion can answer it all. At this time, there is still no official date when Halo will be released on Paramaount+, while the series is only confirmed to be released in 2022.

Balance training • MACSperform
Balance training
By: Piotr
In: Functional training, Workout
BALANCE AS A DYNAMIC NATURE OF EFFICIENT MOVEMENT
The traditional understanding of balance as maintaining the centre of mass between the fulcrums (where the centre of mass, as an imaginary point, has its place inside the body) reflects the static understanding of this term.
In sports, the quick pace of performing the movement, the intensity of the workout, as well as athlete's agility and mobility and the action mulitidirectionality, demand balance to be considered as a dynamic "structure". In all of these sports, the centre of mass has its place outside the body and the athlete, being constantly put to the test, has to maintain their balance at all times. Creation of such unstable training conditions combined with an appropriate exercise program leads to improvement of many parameters that make athlete's competetive efforts more effective.
During balance training, the organism of an athlete performs a great deal of senso-motoric work. The human body is full of neurosensory cells ("detectors", "minibrains") which are located not only in muscles but also in tendons, ligaments etc. These sensors remain dormant until they have to make some kind of effort, as it is in the case of balance training. Untrained sensors work in a slower and less precise way than the sensors that do undergo training.
Balance is an ability that can, to a great extent, be developed.
Balance training enables to activate the nervous and the muscle system in order for moves to be carried out in a faster, more precise and more effective way.
BALANCE EXERCISES AS A FORM OF STRENGTH TRAINING
Balance training is a variant of strength training that is realised under conditions of disturbed balance and on unstable surfaces. Balance exercises stabilize the work of joints through elimination of weak kinetic chain links. In many situations that occur during sparring, effectiveness isn't simply the outcome of applying maximal force. In most cases, the essential element is strong, force-generating muscle contraction which, at the same time, also has to be supported by stabilizing efforts of other muscles. Some of the muscles should also remain relaxed during this contraction.
Through balance training in which muscle contractions occur without conscious involvement of athlete's will, the training immediately enters the phase of movement 'automation' which is characterized by spontaneous muscle and nervous system reactions.
BALANCE EXERCISES AS A FORM OF SPEED TRAINING
Developing the ability to maintain balance and to regain a stable position in a fast and natural way after losing it contributes to shortening the time needed to go from one movement sequence to another. Complex and opposing moves can be performed faster at that time, as the time between a concentric and an eccentric muscle contraction is considerably reduced.
BALANCE EXERCISES AS A FORM OF QUICKNESS TRAINING
Quickness is connected to speed training, however, it specifically concerns immediate, explosive taking of action in which dynamic moves of limbs play a key role. Quickness training is therefore not identical to shortening reaction time.
In martial arts, hockey, football and other direct competeive sports the control of balance has fundamental meaning. This applies especially to sports in which the body weight rests on one leg when performing an action or those in which the action itself means taking the opponent down or ground fighting or pushing off the play, etc characterized by simultaneous movement direction changes or fast and deep rotational movements of torso and of the whole body. A well-trained balance allows faster movement direction changes, makes proper execution of action easier and adds flow, as well as agility.

The Democrats are doubling down on using anti-Semite Ilhan Omar's ugly indifference to 9/11 as a reason for bashing Trump. This will backfire on them, but they've got their heads way too far up their bubble to believe it.
In this tweet thread, it's Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a fan favorite at Right Scoop, going off about it and demanding – I'm telling you, this ain't a joke – that President Trump apologize to victims and families of 9/11 attacks for defending the sacred memory of that terrible day against Omar's casual Council on American-Islamic Relations toss-off reference to the attack as simply an unfair catalyst for being mean to Muslims.

Best Junji Ito Funko Pop
by: Leo Herrera-Lim, BestReviews Staff
Ito said that most of his works are based on the feeling of confusion he had when his classmate passed away. He kept expecting him to turn up the next day, but instead faced the reality that he was simply gone from the world.
Which Junji Ito Funko Pop is best?
Junji Ito may not be a household name, but within the horror manga community, he has become a cult icon. Ito has written and drawn several horror manga series from "Gyo" to "Fragments of Horror," Ito has established a unique style, which often blends the fear of the unknown with revolting creature design. Now, he lends his artistry to the iconic Funko POP! design.
The best Junji Ito Funko Pop that you can buy right now is Funko Pop Animation: Tomie. She is based on a manga of the same name, and her power to regenerate herself into multiple clones can be seen here.
What to know before you buy a Junji Ito Funko Pop
The works of Junji Ito
Junji Ito has been writing and drawing horror manga since the early 1980s, while he was still working as a dental technician. His most famous works include "Tomie," about a mysterious woman who can heal and clone herself through cannibalism, "Uzumaki," about a town plagued by cursed spirals, and "Gyo," about a couple fighting a horde of undead fish with metal legs. Although horror is his chosen genre, many of his works contain themes including body horror, the feeling of helplessness, and political and sociological critiques of Japan.
Mature horror content
We've mentioned it already, but it's worth emphasizing that these works tend to feature mature graphic content. The characters will exhibit strange or unsettling facial expressions, deformities on their bodies supernatural curses, and suggestions of violence and physical harm. These figures will be great for Junji Ito and horror fans, but not so much for young children.
Funko Pop design
By now you are likely familiar with the classic Funko Pop design: a bobblehead shaped figurine with circular black eyes and a miniature body. This silhouette has been adapted and remixed by numerous brands, from Marvel to Harry Potter. In these Junji Ito Funko Pop figures, you will notice a more surreal take on the design. The characters will feature major deformities, terrifying faces, and otherwise a more visceral interpretation of the Funko Pop style.
What to look for in a quality Junji Ito Funko Pop
Surreal horror design
Junji Ito is a master at horror, and his Funko Pop figurines are no exception. When you purchase his Pop line, be sure to appreciate the unique designs. Whether it's a woman with a cloned head or a man eating a spider with chopsticks and a smile, you're bound to get an unsettling feeling looking at these figures. They are just unlike anything you've seen before.
Official Funko branding and box
Don't fall victim to the many copycats and counterfeit manufacturers. Funko maintains high-quality control on their items so that they all relatively look similar, despite several variations. Always look out for the official box with Funko and Pop logos to ensure you are receiving the real thing. But you will also want to be careful with the standard Funko box, as it is relatively fragile and may damage in shipping.
Funko Pop figures are all about the details, and since most of them feature the same silhouette, it all boils down to the paint job. This refers to how each element is individually painted, such as a character's hair or the props they are holding. You may come across a figure where the paint lines are clearly visible, which can throw off an otherwise beautiful piece. Whenever possible, inspect the figurine for these quality issues before purchasing.
How much you can expect to spend on Junji Ito Funko Pop
The cheapest Junji Ito figures will sell for around $10, which is the usual retail price for a Funko Pop figure. An individual figurine can go up to $50 for the exclusive promos, while a set of four can set you back $80.
Junji Ito Funko Pop FAQ
Are these figures suitable for a young child?
A. If your child is used to horror movies and imagery, then these figures may be fine to give as a gift. However, if they are like most children, they may be scared by the surreal and unsettling faces and character designs. Use your best judgment when deciding whether to give this to a child.
How many Junji Ito Funko Pop figures are there?
A. There are six Junji Ito Funko Pop figures in total. While four of them are available for regular retail purchase, two of them are store exclusives (although you may see some resold on Amazon).

Ohio Task Force 1 leaves for North Carolina for Hurricane Florence
Posted On Sep 13 2018
By : Mike Harrison
Hurricane Florence roared toward the Southeast as officials warned the more than 1 million people in its path to get out of the way or face its wrath.
The National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Florence is expected to bring life-threatening storm surge and rainfall to portions of the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic states.
This story was originally published about the threat of storm surge posed by Hurricane Irma.
As of 11am local time (3am NZT), Florence, a potentially catastrophic Category 4 storm, was centred 785 kilometres southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina, moving at 24kmh.
Florence's expanse has even captured the attention of the astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station, who have been tweeting pictures of the storm back to Earth. A risky storm surge will come before the massive storm makes landfall late Friday or early Saturday.
Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued in coastal areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Florence this week, but many residents in the area have chose to stay.
"No one should enter the surf due to life threatening rip currents", said a statement issued Wednesday morning by the weather service. It had maximum sustained winds of 130 miles per hour (215 kmh).
Hurricane-force winds (74 to 95 mph) are now extending out up to 60 miles from the center of the storm, and tropical-storm-force winds are being felt as much as 175 miles around the storm.
By Saturday, total rainfall could accumulate to 20 inches (51 centimeters)-or even 30 inches in places-in parts of the Carolinas and Virginia, the NHC said.
As Florence closed in, some residents weighed whether to ride it out. "Everyone was sold out", she said.
A photo of George Brown, 90, is pinned to his shirt along with personal information before he is evacuated with fellow residents from a healthcare home in Morehead City, N.C., on Wednesday as Hurricane Florence approaches the east coast.
The adults packed irreplaceable items such as photo albums and heirlooms while the children stuffed their favorite toys, blankets and books in their bags.
"We've had some changes in the storms direction, some that are concerning us", Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said Wednesday.
Some 7,000 guard members are ready to mobilize in North Carolina, while 1,100 will be activated in SC. He's staying put – for now. "You feel like you should have already left". North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said crops such as tobacco and corn are in midharvest while sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans and cotton are still in the field. Unsure of what they might find when they return home, the couple went shopping for a recreational vehicle. "We're kind of at the mercy of the storm".
After the storm surge comes the deluge of rain.
"Even the rescuers can not stay there", he said.
The storm is still on track to make landfall in the coastal carolina region, but is starting to drift south. Officials say it is possible SC will bear the brunt of Hurricane Florence.
In Virginia, 245,000 coastal residents were ordered to evacuate including from the Eastern Shore, another popular beachfront destination. All lanes of Interstate 26 are westbound to allow more people to leave the coast and head inland toward the state capital of Columbia.
In a press conference on Monday, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said predations were made to accommodate 1 million people leaving the coast, a report by The State said.
In addition, a high-pressure ridge that's parked over the East Coast is expected to prevent Florence from doing the typical swerve away from the Carolinas and also keep it stuck for multiple days once it reaches land.
At the time of landfall, the storm is forecast to be classified as a "hurricane", with speeds between 74 miles per hour and 110 miles per hour.
McMaster ordered mandatory evacuation of coastal SC counties on Tuesday.

IBM supports virtualization and consequently, IBM Rational products are supported on virtualized servers. In a properly managed VM, Rational software products can perform properly. However, the virtualized infrastructure must be properly managed and monitored. It is crucial to understand how your virtualized infrastructure uses affinity and overcommitment, and to be sure you are using affinity and overcommitment in a way that ensures the best performance of your IBM Rational products.
Affinity (also called entitlement, pinning, and dedication) is the ability to dedicate one or more resources on a virtual machine (for example: memory, processor, etc.) to the corresponding resources on the hypervisor. The host parcels out resources as the virtual machines need them. Affinity ensures that the wanted resources are dedicated to that virtual machine and are always available when the virtual machine requires them. Remember that virtual machines share system resources with all the other virtual machines on the same host.
Overcommitment is when the total amount of virtual image resource allocation exceeds the physical resources of the hardware. In many common configurations to satisfy a virtual machine's peak needs, the hypervisor may take resources from other virtual machines. Sometimes the combined needs of all the virtual machines may exceed the actual resources of the hypervisor. (When calculating the combined resources used, be sure to count the hypervisor resources as well). Sometimes over-commitment can cause all the virtual machines on a host to suffer.
Well-managed virtualized servers permit modifying CPU, RAM, and disc image sizes with much greater ease than physical servers.
A virtualized infrastructure can offer several capabilities of high-availability, such as the ability for the VM infrastructure to mirror standby servers in case of failure.
Virtualization must be managed and monitored.
Ensure that CPU, memory, and network resources are dedicated and uncapped. Ensure that CPU, memory, and network resources have minimum allocations or reservations.
For each hypervisor (VM host), the number of virtual CPUs should never exceed the number of physical CPUs. Be aware of the trick played by some hypervisors, which may count multi-threaded processors as separate processors (a dual-threaded 16-processor server may appear to the hypervisor as a 32-processor server and allocating 2 of these processors actually allocates half of a real processor).
The CPU allocation for each VM corresponds to actual physical CPUs.
There is ample access (bandwidth, network cards) to network and storage.
If the server that is hosting your VMs (hypervisor or host) is not fully dedicated to your VMs, be aware of the usage and load of those other VMs.

14 Jan 2022 11:53AM (Updated: 14 Jan 2022 11:53AM)
NEW YORK: A communal funeral for victims of New York City's deadliest fire in decades has been planned for Sunday (Jan 16), a week after the the blaze in the Bronx high-rise.
The service is to be held at the Islamic Cultural Center in the Bronx, said Imam Musa Kabba of Masjid-Ur-Rahmah, the mosque where some of the victims' families have been gathering to grieve.
Funerals began on Wednesday with a service at a Harlem mosque for two victims, Seydou Toure, 12, and sister Haouwa Mahamadou, 5.
Community leaders have been huddling to make arrangements for the remaining 15 victims, who all had ties to Gambia. The dead began arriving on Thursday afternoon at a Queens funeral home, where they would be cleansed and wrapped according to Islamic tradition.

Some families have been torn between whether to bury their loved ones in their West African homeland or in the United States.
"There's lots of emotion - lots of emotion - as we go back and forth about where to bury them, here or taking them back home," said Haji Dukuray, the uncle of Haja Dukuray, who died with her husband and three children.
Dukuray's own family had been conflicted, but in the end will bury their loved ones in the US.
"This is unprecedented. There's a lot of emotion in those conversations, whether it's amongst us here, or it's among the families in the Gambia," he said.
Sera Janneh's family, meanwhile, was planning to bury her in Gambia.
"It just was so difficult," said the 27-year-old's father, Tijan Janneh. "But we have a good community, and the city, the Bronx, the whole America, the whole world right now - they all pray for us."
'Victims on every floor': 9 kids among 19 dead in New York fire
Possible door malfunctions under scrutiny in deadly New York City blaze
The dead who have yet to be laid to rest also include a two-year-old boy, a mother who died with three of her children, and a husband and wife whose four children are now orphans.
Alhagie Ebou Cham, the president of the United Gambians Association and an honorary consul for Gambia, said that his government was ready to assist in any way it could, including repatriation of the deceased if families so choose.
The medical examiner's office said that all the victims suffocated from the thick smoke that poured out of a third-floor apartment, where officials say a malfunctioning electrical space heater sparked the fire.
Many people escaped the 19-storey building, but others died as they tried to make their way down the smoke-choked stairs.
Difficulties in identifying the dead and contacting their next of kin complicated making funeral plans, as did the sheer number of victims, Kabba said.
Outside the apartment building, passers-by stopped at a makeshift memorial with flowers and photos of the people who perished and some of those still in hospitals.
While families of those who died planned burials, community activists pleaded for more help for survivors of the blaze. Some have been having trouble getting services or getting what they need, particularly cash, the advocates said at a news conference.
Multiple entities have been raising money for those affected by the fire. It takes time to set up a system to distribute money equitably, said Salim Drammeh of the Gambian Youth Organization, a Bronx-based group that has raised more than US$1 million through an online campaign.

Cameraperson – Review
It's often said that the act of observing something affects the behaviour of the thing that's being observed, but it's equally true that it changes the person doing the observing. In Cameraperson, cinematographer Kirsten Johnson – a legend in the industry who has worked on films like Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and Laura Poitras' Citizenfour – has compiled a "memoir" of clips spanning the length and breadth of her 25-year career, filming everyone from boxers in Brooklyn to victims of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia.
From the start, we're constantly hyper-aware of Johnson's presence. In one sequence her hands pluck stray blades of grass from the foreground of a shot. In another we hear her audibly gasp as the Missouri sky is split by lightning, moments before she sneezes with enough force to shake the camera.
The fact that such disparate snippets of film have been stitched into such a coherent whole is impressive, and eventually certain themes begin to bleed through; footage of a midwife in Nairobi delivering babies, for example, feels somehow influenced by Johnson's footage of her own young children. The most poignant footage is the most personal; much of this memoir focuses on Johnson's own mother losing her memory to Alzheimer's in the years before her death.
As clichéd as it sounds, Johnson's images are striking enough to speak for themselves, yet it's sometimes frustrating that we don't hear more directly from Johnson herself – especially considering the scope of her experiences and the fascinating people she's interviewed.
Part retrospective and part introspective, Cameraperson is a remarkable documentary from an equally remarkable filmmaker. Those not intimately familiar with Kirsten Johnson's work will be hungry for more context, but this is a must-see for anyone who loves great documentary or aspires to make their own.
DIRECTOR: Kirsten Johnson
SYNOPSIS: For 25 years American cinematographer Kirsten Johnson has roamed the globe for some of the doc world's biggest directors, including Michael Moore and Laura Poitras. In this thoroughly engrossing film she refashions some of her footage into a kaleidoscopic musing on her profession.

Q: Move from keepalived to HAProxy I have four web server under two keepalived load balance server, so I can be sure that the active keepalived server will load balance the traffic on my four web servers, and when it fails the passive one becomes active and does the job until the main one is back to active state, it also track real servers aka web server and re balances the load on alive web servers. The problem is I can't use subsets of web servers for certain domain name as keepalived can work only with IP:PORT pairs(not http domain names) so I think of using HAProxy, but can't find anything about HAProxy server fail over functionality, how that can be organized, does HAProxy support clustering of the HAProxy servers?

A: HAproxy doesn't provide clustering built in, but it's commonly installed alongside keepalived for this purpose.
-Keepalived manages the clustering, virtual IPs, and failover between nodes.
-HAproxy does the actual load balancing on the virtual IPs.
There are other options beside keepalived, but I'd say it's one of the most common setups.

Q: Convert Array to Hash while preserving Array index values in Ruby I have an array that has X number of values in it. The following array only has 4, but I need the code to be dynamic and not reliant on only having four array objects.
array = ["Adult", "Family", "Single", "Child"]
I want to convert array to a hash that looks like this:
hash = {0 => 'Adult', 1 => 'Family', 2 => 'Single', 3 => 'Child'}
The hash should have as many key/value pairs as the array has objects, and the values should start at 0 and increment by 1 for each object.

A: Another one:
Hash[array.each_index.zip(array)]
#=> {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

Newer Ruby versions would allow:
array.each_with_index.to_h.invert
#=> {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

A: Using Enumerable#each_with_index:
Hash[array.each_with_index.map { |value, index| [index, value] }]
# => {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

As @hirolau commented, each_with_index.map can also be written as map.with_index.
Hash[array.map.with_index { |value, index| [index, value] }]
# => {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

UPDATE
Alterantive that use Hash#invert:
Hash[array.map.with_index{|*x|x}].invert
# => {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}
Hash[[*array.map.with_index]].invert
# => {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

A:   Hash[*(0..array.size-1).to_a.zip(array)]
    => {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

A: Try this
array.each_with_index.inject({}){ |hash, (val, i)| hash[i]=val; hash }
=> {0=>"Adult", 1=>"Family", 2=>"Single", 3=>"Child"}

Lukashenko threatens the West with nuclear war
If a conflict is unleashed on the territory of Belarus, NATO and Russia will be drawn into it, said self-proclaimed president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in an interview with the BBC, part of which was published by Belarusian state agency BelTA .
According to Lukashenko, the West has not yet paid the Belarusian people for the losses that they suffered in the Second World War but it is already trying to unleash a new war.
"You understand that if you unleash a war here in Belarus , NATO will be drawn in and Russia will also be drawn in. This is a nuclear war," Lukashenko said.
He also assured that Belarus has always tried to live in peace with neighboring countries. "Did I organize any fights with Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians at the border? Never. Here [in the Palace of Independence] the Normandy Four summit on Ukraine [was held], and here the war was stopped. We did everything," Lukashenko stressed.
The migrant crisis on the border of the EU countries and Belarus began after the European Union introduced sanctions against Minsk because of the forced landing of the Ryanair plane with the former editor-in-chief of the Telegram channel Nexta Roman Protasevich on board. Lukashenko then said that Belarus will no longer help the EU countries control illegal migration at its borders.
The Polish authorities accused the Belarusian side of creating the migrant crisis. Poland and Lithuania have imposed a state of emergency due to the growing flow of refugees. The Lithuanian authorities decided to start building a wall on the border with Belarus. Latvia also announced the strengthening of border controls.
In October, Lukashenko, responding to a question from CNN whether he was using migrants as revenge for the EU sanctions, said that "only weak people can take revenge": "Sorry for immodesty, I do not consider myself a weakling. And I do not consider it necessary to take revenge on the European Union."
Since August, Lithuania has begun the deportation of illegal migrants.

Previous Finland considers building barbed wire fence on the border with Russia
Next The war is near. Why Russia is "rocking" Europe with migrants and rushing to change the government in Ukraine
Hey Luka, you seem to have the Russian disease of "let's make history up as we go along." Since when did the West invade Belarus? If it wasn't for the West you would be speaking German now, you piece of shit.
" Here [in the Palace of Independence] the Normandy Four summit on Ukraine [was held], and here the war was stopped. We did everything,"
When did this war stop Luka? Are Ukrainian soldiers committing suicide? Luka you just sound sound the bully in the school playground that got his arse kicked, then threatens to get his big brother on to the victor.
Yeah I think he missed that part of history when Stalin sent the Ukrainians and Belarussians to fight Hitler in the name of the USSR. The only real fighting by Russians was done at Leningrad, and done very poorly.
Well, reading loony's words makes any sane person to be convinced beyond any doubt that his nick – loony – is a fitting one. I'm sorry, but I simply can't take Pew-tin's personal toilet paper for real. He belongs in an insane asylum.


Life held on v Saint Mary's. Michael Geib photo.
Here's the latest from the Men's College Finals, with DIA, DIAA, and Varsity Cup champions being decided today.
UC Davis defeated a capable Notre Dame College side in a wet, contention DIAA final 17-13 Saturday.
Davis fell behind 8-0 and scored a try right at the end of the first half to make it 8-7. Davis took the lead 12-8 before NDC regained the lead, only to see Davis score late and hold on with some superb defense.
Lock forward Ian McCarthy was named the UC Davis MVP as he was hugely influential not only in the set piece but in open play. NDC flyhalf Logan Weinstock was very shifty in open play. Davis center nd captain Josh Farnsworth, was also excellent in a hard-hitting affair.
Cal came back from a 29-19 deficit to defeat BYU 40-29 in what has to be considered an upset to win the Varsity Cup final.
Tries from Anthony Salaber, and two from scrumhalf Nik Boyer turned the game around as those three tries were scored in the final ten minutes.
And behind a brilliant performance from center Harley Davidson, Life was ferocious in contact and came back form a 15-3 deficit to beat Saint Mary's 24-20 in the DIA final.
It was a bit of a shock result, and the game went back and forth, but a late try from prop Alex Maughan saw Life through, and the Running Eagles' defense held in the final minutes.


Australian's very own government scientific research body CSIRO, infamous for its recent patent disputes on its innovations used in the WiFi standard, has just successfully field-tested a new wireless broadband technology using existing TV antenna infrastructure for rural areas.
The "Ngara" system field-test in outback Australia yielded a data-rate of 12 megabits per second (1.5MB/s) at a range up to 8.1km (5 miles) using just one channel of a soon-to-be decommissioned 7MHz analogue TV spectrum with just 3-watt antennas. The benefit of such a system is that it utilizes an ubiquitous infrastructure for TV transmission.
Of course, the CSIRO is not the only ones interested in wireless networking on white-spaces. Microsoft has been doing some research of their own.
Microsoft's project, dubbed "WhiteFi" focuses more on the ability to utilize fragmented white space spectrum across different channels as they vary by location and interference. They too have successfully deployed a white-space wireless network at the Microsoft campus that provides a bridge for WiFi internet access within its shuttle buses.
Hopefully the two technologies can complement each other to improve wireless networking in wider areas.
Wow! "WhiteFi" – that sounds mighty racist!
Seriously? Where is the racial intolerance?
Doesn't DVB-T give about 20mps of usable bandwidth on a normal tv channel?


Your planter may be smarter than you think! If you were capable of dropping seeds in the field exactly where you would like them, you could expect the plants to respond in a positive way and ultimately maximize yield in that particular spot in the field. Variable rate seeding is a major step to reaching that goal.
Variable rate seeding may or may not reduce overall seed costs. But, that should not necessarily be a primary goal. The better way to look at variable rate seeding would be the placement of seed at the right population in the right place to optimize yield of a given management zone. This should result in increased or more stable yields across that zone, and ultimately across the entire field. If your goal is to use variable rate seeding to make the whole field yield the same in all areas, you will be very disappointed in the results. Variable rate seeding should be looked at as another risk management tool that over time increases production.
Just looking at a yield map from one year of data is not enough information to produce a variable rate seeding prescription. The high yielding areas on a yield map don't necessarily correspond with the need for higher populations in those areas, and the converse can be true as well.
Examples of Variable Rate Seeding Management Zones.
Our experience shows that every year is a little different. Multiple years of yield data, soil type information, Veris EC (electrical conductivity) data, irrigation capability, etc. need to be part of the equation. The hybrid itself is important. Traits, such as flex or fixed ear, canopy structure and stalk quality can all help determine plant populations for various areas of the field. More and more seed companies are supplying optimum population studies that can aid in determining the population needed to reach your yield goals in those zones.
A good way to start is with multiple years of yield data to produce a layer of normalized yield. An EC layer collected from Veris or an EM (electromagnetic) sled will point out productivity zones. Elevation and slope collected using RTK (Real Time Kinematic) is valuable information as well. This data will help determine management zones and will allow you to determine yield capability within these zones, and in turn come up with proper plant populations for each zone. The net result should be to maximize yield for each determined population.
The total amount of seed used in a field may not be much different than the conventional planting rate across the field. That is determined by the size of the zones and the seeding rate range.Determining whether you are gaining a benefit from variable rate seeding may not be completely obvious. That evaluation can be made by sitting down with your Agronomist, and looking at the maps and evaluating the data. Together, decisions can be made as to whether even more yield is available in each zone, and also determine what other inputs can be applied variably to continue to improve production for each field.

Our sofa is the Cameron from Capsule Home. We received our sofa during a partnership with Joss & Main, but it is no longer sold on the site. However, the chair is still available. The sofa comes in many different color options, but we chose the white linen fabric. I love the low back and modern lines of the sofa. With the low back, we are able to use the sofa as a divider between our entryway and living room without blocking any views or feeling like the sofa is too big for space.
The seat cushions and backs are a down feather blend. I love that they are feather blend, so when the cushions look a little frumpy I can just fluff them back up. It's super comfortable and both Joe and I have fallen asleep on the sofa many nights.
In two years, I've only had to wash the cushion covers twice. I put them on a cold cycle and use OxiClean. I wash them similar to the same way I wash our white bedding. Luckily, we have never had any major spills or stains. For small stains, Shout Wipe & Go wipes work great and clean up quick. However, Capsule Home does recommend professional cleaning.
If I could change one thing, I wish it was slipcovered. I would love to eventually get a slipcovered white sofa or maybe have a slipcover made for this one. It would make cleaning a lot easier and less stressful. Then the whole sofa could be cleaned instead of just the cushions.
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | Some of these white sofas are already slipcovered and come in a variety of fabric options. I personally love a long bench seat instead of multiple seat cushions. Clean lines and simple legs look great with any design style. Having a neutral colored sofa makes decorating and adding colorful throw pillows a breeze. Check out my favorite throw pillow combinations!
WOW! What a fabulous range of white sofas! I'm from the UK, and we do appreciate beautifully upholstered fabric sofas over here. I'm not sure if you have come across the Chesterfield sofa in the UK? But it is a well known traditional design, which has been around since the 1600s. Initially, it was finished in velvet which later progressed to leather. I've come across some beautiful white Chesterfields and have pasted a link below for if you would like some more info on them, I hope you find it helpful.
