"The first time I bought an NWA tape on the border, I was so excited to get home and listen to it," says Jorge R. Gutierrez. "But it was a bootleg. When I put the tape on, it was the soundtrack to 'The Little Mermaid.'"
You never know what you're going to get with bootlegs. For Gutierrez, though, it was a ton of inspiration. The Burbank-based artist recently revealed his second collection of works based on bootleg pop culture products found around the U.S.-Mexico border. "Border Bang 2" opened at Coagula Curatorial in Los Angeles' Chinatown on October 20.

Gutierrez, best known for directing the 2014 animated film "The Book of Life" and for co-creating the Nickelodeon television series "El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera" with his wife Sandra Equihua, was born in Mexico City and raised in Tijuana. He spent much of his childhood crossing the border twice a day to attend school in the United States. Gutierrez has an intimate connection to the U.S.-Mexico border and says that has informed everything from his perception of border patrol to class distinctions in the two countries. In his art, though, he conveys all the intricacies of his experiences through pop culture.
While growing up in Tijuana, Gutierrez was fascinated by the intersection of cultural references that he saw for sale. "I would see Tupac next to Jesus next to Bart Simpson," he says inside Coaguala on the day before the opening of "Border Bang 2."
Specifically, he was fascinated with bootleg products, based on characters from U.S., and sometimes Japanese, television and film. "As a kid, I would just make up stories," says Gutierrez. "I would see all these characters – Bugs Bunny wearing gangster outfits – all these things that only on the border would happen – Tasmanian Devil wearing a Raiders jersey – all these things I thought were real and I would watch the cartoons and those things would never happen. It was this narrative that I built in my head. I thought that Bart Sanchez was the main character in 'The Simpsons' and I kept waiting for Bart Sanchez to show up and he never did."
Bootlegs, too, are a sign of cultural significance, of the media that has become a phenomenon and the stars who have become legends. Gutierrez says he learned who the late rapper Tupac Shakur was because of bootlegs. "I didn't know who he was until he died because I started seeing all the T-shirts pop up on the border," says Gutierrez. "When someone dies, the border lets you know who is worth it, who has earned the right to be bootlegged."
A few years ago, Gutierrez was contacted by gallerist and Juxtapoz magazine co-founder Greg Escalante about doing an art show. The first installment of "Border Bang" took place in the summer of 2016 at Gregorio Escalante Gallery in Chinatown. Gutierrez was asked to make nine paintings. He made more than 50. He was on a roll and continued painting even after the show ended. The two had made plans for a sequel or, as Gutierrez says, "a bootleg of the first show," but that was canceled after Escalante's untimely death in September of 2017. Fortunately, "Border Bang 2" was ultimately picked up by Coagula, located next to Escalante's former space on Chung King Road. There's an altar to the late art patron set up in the back of the gallery, along with a print that will be released later in the show's run. "All of this is because of Greg," says Gutierrez.
For "Border Bang 2," Gutierrez invited other artists to contribute to the exhibition. Sandra Equihua, who also grew up in Tijuana (the couple, Gutierrez says, met at a concert for the punk band Tijuana No! when they were in high school), has several works in the show. Also included are pieces from Robot Soda, Raul the Third, Gerald de Jesus, all of whom grew up in cities near the border.
Additionally, Gutierrez collaborated with artist Alfredo Echeverria Ripstein on a series of "bootlegs" based on paintings that Gutierrez had already sold. Moreover, Gutierrez sent images of previously sold paintings to artists in China, who then repainted them in oil and sent them back to him. Those are part of the show as well.
Gutierrez riffs on a hodgepodge of characters. Chapulin Colorado, the 1970s Mexican television character, makes an appearance. So does Finn from the cartoon series "Adventure Time," which Gutierrez says is popular fodder for bootleg toys. In some instances, there's a long lineage of cultural riffing. Gutierrez points to his painting of Astro Boy, noting that the character from the Japanese comics and television series was influenced by Disney's Pinocchio, which itself was based on an Italian book. "So, I'm number four in the bootleg chain," he says.
In many ways, Gutierrez's works also serve as social commentary, like his version of Dora the Explorer, a character Gutierrez called "the ultimate icon of subversive Latinas in cartoons." His art is also talking about representation of Latinos in media, about identity and about cultural pride.
In time, bootlegs can retain their own cachet. On Instagram, BootlegBart catalogs the many, unofficial variations of Bart Simpson that popped up across the globe. In the designer toy world, artists often take influence from bootleg toys. At pop culture conventions and online, fan art pays tribute to popular characters while oftentimes remixing their looks and their stories. Gutierrez explains, that's how culture works. "Wherever it came from, you make it your own," he says. "You infuse with your own ideology and your own beliefs and you spit it back into the world. Then someone else takes it and it becomes something else."
"Border Bang 2" runs through December 30 at Coagula Curatorial, 974 Chung King Rd., Los Angeles, 90012.

First time I stayed in this unit and was overwhelmed by all surprises! This one unit offered so many ammedities from 2-full baths, a very comfortable sofa bed (which I slept on), a washer and dryer, and a kitchen that was fully equipped!
Great location and views. Can't wait to stay here again!

SDCC Infinity War Poster Shows Off Bearded Captain America and Blond Black Widow!
Earlier this month, Marvel Studios screened a trailer for Avengers: Infinity War at Disney's annual D23 Expo. Although the trailer hasn't made its way online, a footage description has. Besides making it clear that it was an epic trailer, it also indicated that Captain America and Black Widow have each undergone significant changes in appearance.
In the trailer, Chris Evans' character sported full beard, and Scarlett Johansson's character had gone from red to blond hair. We now have a photo of a new Avengers: Infinity War poster from San Diego Comic-Con International 2017 (via ComicBookMovie) that offers a first look. It's not a high-resolution image like the officially released posters, but it's clear enough that we can spot the differences.
While a rumor suggested that Cap would have a new costume in Avengers: Infinity War, the poster seems to indicate otherwise. It looks like he's wearing his traditional suit, but the chest emblem has been damaged.
The poster also shows the teenaged Groot spotted during the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and in the D23 trailer. Thor, Loki, Drax, Rocket, Star-Lord, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Falcon are also featured. Check out the poster below!

We also have an officially released Avengers: Infinity War poster with Iron Man, Gamora, Nebula, Mantis, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, War Machine, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and Hulk. Check it out below, along with a photo of a banner that basically connects the two posters and puts Thanos right in the middle!

Double and Triple Blown Glass; Fact or Fiction?
Occasionally someone will come into our shop requesting to see our "Double" or "Triple" Blown Glass Hand Pipes. The premise behind double or triple blown glass is that it is thick layers of glass blown by the lamp worker (Glass Blower) to create a stronger and less breakable piece.
The problem is that in reality, there is no such thing. After some exhaustive research with over one hundred of the countries best smoke shops and lamp workers we discovered that many years ago some shop owners in California started referring to their thicker pipes as "Double Blown" and that eventually escalated into "Triple Blown" glass. These inaccurate descriptions were and are still being used as exaggerated selling points.
The thickness of a hand pipe or water pipe is decided by the blower before beginning the process. The thickness of the tube, how far it is stretched or shortened will determine the thickness of the piece when it is finished.
What does make a difference in durability is the type of glass used. For example; many American blowers use Schott Borosilicate for their work. Even some Chinese blown glass manufactures will import better quality glass tubes for their work like Simax or Pyrex. Most of those are American owned companies that have moved their factories to China for the same reason every other company does; cheaper labor. Another factor is American blowers will most definitely finish their glass in a kiln, heating the glass quickly and annealing the glass to make it stronger and more durable.
There are instances where glass could be referred to double blown, but that is simply multi-layering of colors and does not necessarily effect the strength of the piece. For example when working with "frit" you need to blow it out to melt it back in, then you blow a pipe out of it.. twice.. or double blown.
Some smoke shop owners will attempt to prove how strong their glass pipes are by dropping them on the floor or even tossing them across the room. This may in fact demonstrate that the glass has been well made and is durable, but EVERY time glass is impacted, it is weakened. So you should NOT buy the piece that the shop keeper dropped and instead choose a different one, although it is likely that piece has been dropped at least once at some point in a similar demonstration for a different customer.
So, the next time a smoke shop employee tries to sell you a hand pipe that is "Double" or "Triple" Blown you may want to turn around and find a more reputable shop to make your purchase from.
Here are some quotes from glass blowers and smoke shop owners that we heard during our research.

A molecular formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols to indicate the types of atoms followed by subscripts to show the number of atoms of each type in the molecule. (A subscript is used only when more than one atom of a given type is present.) Molecular formulas are also used as abbreviations for the names of compounds.
The structural formula for a compound gives the same information as its molecular formula (the types and numbers of atoms in the molecule) but also shows how the atoms are connected in the molecule. The structural formula for methane contains symbols for one C atom and four H atoms, indicating the number of atoms in the molecule ([link]). The lines represent bonds that hold the atoms together. (A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms or ions that holds them together in a molecule or a crystal.) We will discuss chemical bonds and see how to predict the arrangement of atoms in a molecule later. For now, simply know that the lines are an indication of how the atoms are connected in a molecule. A ball-and-stick model shows the geometric arrangement of the atoms with atomic sizes not to scale, and a space-filling model shows the relative sizes of the atoms.
A methane molecule can be represented as (a) a molecular formula, (b) a structural formula, (c) a ball-and-stick model, and (d) a space-filling model. Carbon and hydrogen atoms are represented by black and white spheres, respectively.
Although many elements consist of discrete, individual atoms, some exist as molecules made up of two or more atoms of the element chemically bonded together. For example, most samples of the elements hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are composed of molecules that contain two atoms each (called diatomic molecules) and thus have the molecular formulas H2, O2, and N2, respectively. Other elements commonly found as diatomic molecules are fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2). The most common form of the element sulfur is composed of molecules that consist of eight atoms of sulfur; its molecular formula is S8 ([link]).
A molecule of sulfur is composed of eight sulfur atoms and is therefore written as S8. It can be represented as (a) a structural formula, (b) a ball-and-stick model, and (c) a space-filling model. Sulfur atoms are represented by yellow spheres.
It is important to note that a subscript following a symbol and a number in front of a symbol do not represent the same thing; for example, H2 and 2H represent distinctly different species. H2 is a molecular formula; it represents a diatomic molecule of hydrogen, consisting of two atoms of the element that are chemically bonded together. The expression 2H, on the other hand, indicates two separate hydrogen atoms that are not combined as a unit. The expression 2H2 represents two molecules of diatomic hydrogen ([link]).
The symbols H, 2H, H2, and 2H2 represent very different entities.
Compounds are formed when two or more elements chemically combine, resulting in the formation of bonds. For example, hydrogen and oxygen can react to form water, and sodium and chlorine can react to form table salt. We sometimes describe the composition of these compounds with an empirical formula, which indicates the types of atoms present and the simplest whole-number ratio of the number of atoms (or ions) in the compound. For example, titanium dioxide (used as pigment in white paint and in the thick, white, blocking type of sunscreen) has an empirical formula of TiO2. This identifies the elements titanium (Ti) and oxygen (O) as the constituents of titanium dioxide, and indicates the presence of twice as many atoms of the element oxygen as atoms of the element titanium ([link]).
As discussed previously, we can describe a compound with a molecular formula, in which the subscripts indicate the actual numbers of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound. In many cases, the molecular formula of a substance is derived from experimental determination of both its empirical formula and its molecular mass (the sum of atomic masses for all atoms composing the molecule). For example, it can be determined experimentally that benzene contains two elements, carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), and that for every carbon atom in benzene, there is one hydrogen atom. Thus, the empirical formula is CH. An experimental determination of the molecular mass reveals that a molecule of benzene contains six carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, so the molecular formula for benzene is C6H6 ([link]).
If we know a compound's formula, we can easily determine the empirical formula. (This is somewhat of an academic exercise; the reverse chronology is generally followed in actual practice.) For example, the molecular formula for acetic acid, the component that gives vinegar its sharp taste, is C2H4O2. This formula indicates that a molecule of acetic acid ([link]) contains two carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. The ratio of atoms is 2:4:2. Dividing by the lowest common denominator (2) gives the simplest, whole-number ratio of atoms, 1:2:1, so the empirical formula is CH2O. Note that a molecular formula is always a whole-number multiple of an empirical formula.
Molecules of glucose (blood sugar) contain 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. What are the molecular and empirical formulas of glucose?
The molecular formula is C6H12O6 because one molecule actually contains 6 C, 12 H, and 6 O atoms. The simplest whole-number ratio of C to H to O atoms in glucose is 1:2:1, so the empirical formula is CH2O.
A molecule of metaldehyde (a pesticide used for snails and slugs) contains 8 carbon atoms, 16 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms. What are the molecular and empirical formulas of metaldehyde?
You can explore molecule building using an online simulation.
What is it that chemists do? According to Lee Cronin ([link]), chemists make very complicated molecules by "chopping up" small molecules and "reverse engineering" them. He wonders if we could "make a really cool universal chemistry set" by what he calls "app-ing" chemistry. Could we "app" chemistry?
In a 2012 TED talk, Lee describes one fascinating possibility: combining a collection of chemical "inks" with a 3D printer capable of fabricating a reaction apparatus (tiny test tubes, beakers, and the like) to fashion a "universal toolkit of chemistry." This toolkit could be used to create custom-tailored drugs to fight a new superbug or to "print" medicine personally configured to your genetic makeup, environment, and health situation. Says Cronin, "What Apple did for music, I'd like to do for the discovery and distribution of prescription drugs."1 View his full talk at the TED website.
It is important to be aware that it may be possible for the same atoms to be arranged in different ways: Compounds with the same molecular formula may have different atom-to-atom bonding and therefore different structures. For example, could there be another compound with the same formula as acetic acid, C2H4O2? And if so, what would be the structure of its molecules?
If you predict that another compound with the formula C2H4O2 could exist, then you demonstrated good chemical insight and are correct. Two C atoms, four H atoms, and two O atoms can also be arranged to form a methyl formate, which is used in manufacturing, as an insecticide, and for quick-drying finishes. Methyl formate molecules have one of the oxygen atoms between the two carbon atoms, differing from the arrangement in acetic acid molecules. Acetic acid and methyl formate are examples of isomers—compounds with the same chemical formula but different molecular structures ([link]). Note that this small difference in the arrangement of the atoms has a major effect on their respective chemical properties. You would certainly not want to use a solution of methyl formate as a substitute for a solution of acetic acid (vinegar) when you make salad dressing.
Molecules of (a) acetic acid and methyl formate (b) are structural isomers; they have the same formula (C2H4O2) but different structures (and therefore different chemical properties).
Many types of isomers exist ([link]). Acetic acid and methyl formate are structural isomers, compounds in which the molecules differ in how the atoms are connected to each other. There are also various types of spatial isomers, in which the relative orientations of the atoms in space can be different. For example, the compound carvone (found in caraway seeds, spearmint, and mandarin orange peels) consists of two isomers that are mirror images of each other. S-(+)-carvone smells like caraway, and R-(−)-carvone smells like spearmint.
Select this link to view an explanation of isomers, spatial isomers, and why they have different smells (select the video titled "Mirror Molecule: Carvone").
A molecular formula uses chemical symbols and subscripts to indicate the exact numbers of different atoms in a molecule or compound. An empirical formula gives the simplest, whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. A structural formula indicates the bonding arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. Ball-and-stick and space-filling models show the geometric arrangement of atoms in a molecule. Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
Explain why the symbol for an atom of the element oxygen and the formula for a molecule of oxygen differ.
The symbol for the element oxygen, O, represents both the element and one atom of oxygen. A molecule of oxygen, O2, contains two oxygen atoms; the subscript 2 in the formula must be used to distinguish the diatomic molecule from two single oxygen atoms.
Explain why the symbol for the element sulfur and the formula for a molecule of sulfur differ.
Open the Build a Molecule simulation and select the "Larger Molecules" tab. Select an appropriate atoms "Kit" to build a molecule with two carbon and six hydrogen atoms. Drag atoms into the space above the "Kit" to make a molecule. A name will appear when you have made an actual molecule that exists (even if it is not the one you want). You can use the scissors tool to separate atoms if you would like to change the connections. Click on "3D" to see the molecule, and look at both the space-filling and ball-and-stick possibilities.
(a) Draw the structural formula of this molecule and state its name.
(b) Can you arrange these atoms in any way to make a different compound?
Use the Build a Molecule simulation to repeat [link], but build a molecule with two carbons, six hydrogens, and one oxygen.
(b) Can you arrange these atoms to make a different molecule? If so, draw its structural formula and state its name.
(c) How are the molecules drawn in (a) and (b) the same? How do they differ? What are they called (the type of relationship between these molecules, not their names).
(c) These molecules have the same chemical composition (types and number of atoms) but different chemical structures. They are structural isomers.
Use the Build a Molecule simulation to repeat [link], but build a molecule with three carbons, seven hydrogens, and one chlorine.
(c) How are the molecules drawn in (a) and (b) the same? How do they differ? What are they called (the type of relationship between these molecules, not their names)?

A Young Man in a Hurry and Other Short Stories
Robert W. Chambers
He was born in Brooklyn, New York, to William P. Chambers (1827–1911), a notable corporate and bankruptcy lawyer, and Caroline Smith Boughton (1842-1913). His parents met when Caroline was twelve years old and William P. was interning with her father, Joseph Boughton, a prominent corporate lawyer. Eventually the two formed the law firm of Chambers and Boughton which continued to prosper even after Joseph's death in 1861. Robert's great-grandfather, William Chambers (birth unknown), a lieutenant in the British Royal Navy, was married to Amelia Saunders,(1765-1822), the great grand daughter of Tobias Saunders, of Westerly, Rhode Island. The couple moved from Westerly, to Greenfield, Massachusetts and then to Galway, New York, where their son, also William Chambers, (1798-1874) was born. The second William graduated from Union College at the age of 18, and then went to a college in Boston, where he studied to be a doctor. Upon graduating he and his wife, Eliza P. Allen, (1793-1880) a direct descendant of Roger Williams, the founder of Providence, Rhode Island were among the first settlers of Broadalbin, New York. His brother was architect Walter Boughton Chambers.

Noel Davis, död 26 april 1927, var en amerikansk militärflygare.

Davis utexaminerades från Naval Academy och genomgick flygutbildning vid NAS Pensacola Florida 1920 och godkändes som militärflygare 1921. Vid skolan fick han omdömet bland sina skolkamrater att vara mycket noggrann och pedant. Efter flygutbildningen utsågs han till chef för Naval Reserve Flying Headquarters i Washington, D.C.. På fritiden utvecklade han en flygplanssextant som skulle lösa navigationsproblemen. US Navy beställde ett antal efter att de sett första prototypen. Med stöd från US Navy inledde Davis förberedelser för en flygning över Atlanten.  Han förflyttades till Bureau of Aeronautics där han fick Stanton Wooster till asisstent. Wooster, även han flygare, erbjöds att följa med på flygningen.

Flygplanet, ett Keystone Pathfinder, specialmodifierades med flera extratankar för bränsle för kunna genomföra flygningen utan mellanlandning. De tre Wright J-5 Whirlwind motorerna gav tillsammans 660 hk, och även om en motor slutade att fungera slulle flygplanet kunna hålla sig i luften på två motorer. Både Wooster och Davis övervakade tillverkningen av flygplanet i Bristol, Pennsylavania. När flygplanet var färdigt genomförde de testflygningarna tillsammans. Flygplanet döptes till American Legion och flögs över till Langley Field där man utrustade det inför flygningen.

26 april 1927 var tanken att man skulle provflyga flygplanet med full last för första gången. Wooster satt på förarplatsen medan Davis instruerade markpersonalen att ställa sig längs banan för att avgöra hur lång startsträckan var. Davis förenade sig med Wooster i förarkabinen. Efter att man genomgått checklistan släppte man bromsarna och drog på gas längs fältet. Flygplanet behövde hela fältet för att kunna lätta och klarade med en hårsmån några träd i banans förlängning. Från luftskeppshangaren på Langley Field såg markpersonalen hur Wooster flög lågt över marken ut mot Back River. Man såg hur flygplanet råkade i svårigheter, men piloterna lyckades rätta upp flygplanet med en mindre höjdförlust. Wooster svängde åter mot fältet för att genomföra en landning, men då höjden bara var runt 20 meter kom man inte att klara trädtopparna i banänden. Wooster och Davis beslutade sig för att nödlanda på strandbanken till Back River. Det högra hjulet tog i marken först, sedan stjärten och flygplanskroppen. Flygplanet gled längs marken, landstället bröts först bort, sedan propellrarna och ena vingen. Slutligen slog man i nosen och motorn slets loss från sin infästning och trycktes in i förarkabinen, där Wooster och Davis klämdes till döds.

Davis begravdes med militära hedersbetygelser i Pensacola, Florida.

Q: textbox or any control id keep on changing, why? For my textbox, the following id generated on my local.
ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ucLogin1_txtUserName

When I hosted on IIS, the following id got generated.
ContentPlaceHolder1_ucLogin1_txtUserName

How can I get the textbox id? Don't reply answer as use ClientID, cos now I'm using external javascript file. It wont support ClientID.

A: If you're using ASP.NET 4.0 you can set ClientIDMode of the textbox to Static and its id always will be the same.
Example:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" />

A: you could use that jquery
var clientId =$('input[id*="txtUserName"]').attr("id");

remember;
'input[id*="txtUserName"]' select all input element which is id  has got "txtUserName".

A: You have to use ClientID, but what you can do is use a small bit of javascript on your page to set a variable to the passed ClientID for use with your external script.
Failing that if your using version 4 of the .Net Framework you can set ClientIDMode to Static so you have control over the ID Generation. See http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/03/30/cleaner-html-markup-with-asp-net-4-web-forms-client-ids-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx

A: There're a lot of ways to solve that, but one that'd be quick to implement is just add an unique CSS class to this TextBox.
That'd allow you to retrieve this TextBox in client-side by its CSS class by using some JavaScript client framework like jQuery:
$("input.MyTextBoxCssClass")
Another approach, if you are in ASP.NET 4.0 is the one suggested by bniwredyc in his answer.

A: You have two options:
If you're targetting to ASP.NET 4.0 you can use set ID explicitly. Here are examples of how it is done.
Another option would be to pass the TextBox ID to your javascript function as a parameter and use the "ClientID" method when calling the javascript function. Here is a similiar question.

A: You should select the textbox without using its ID. Try adding a class to the textbox and selecting that:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server" CssClass="txtUserNameClass"/>

Silvoarable agroforestry under cork oak (Quercus suber)

Fitting tree protection to prevent deer damage
The effectiveness of a mesh tree guard in protecting individual trees from wildlife damage depends not only on careful selection of the device itself and the stakes supporting it, but also on the care taken during installation.
Herdade do Freixo do Meio (Portugal)
After being confiscated in 1974 during the Carnation Revolution, HFM was returned to the former owners in 1990 and since then tried to bring a new way of managing this heritage guided by the ethics of respect for the people and for the environment.
New paper out. "Juglans regia" (walnut) in temperate arable agroforestry systems: effects on soil characteristics, arthropod diversity and crop yield
Agroforestry (AF) is considered to be a sustainable land use practice as it combines agricultural production with multiple beneficial effects such as carbon sequestration, enhanced nutrient cycling and increased biodiversity. Quantification of these beneficial effects in temperate arable fields is still limited, however, and most studies focus on one sole parameter (i.e., impact on crop productivity, soil quality, biodiversity, etc.).
Combined effects are only rarely considered, resulting in a lack of integrated quantification. Here we assess the effect of rows of walnut trees (Juglans regia L.) on soil organic carbon (SOC), soil nutrient status, the presence of potentially beneficial ground-dwelling arthropods and on the yield and quality of neighboring arable crops.
Significantly higher SOC and soil nutrient concentrations were found near the trees, which is assumed to be primarily a result of tree leaf litter input. Abundance of macro-detritivorous arthropods was increased in and near the tree rows, whereas only limited effects of tree presence were found on the presence of the predatory arthropod taxa under study.
The yield of all crops under study was reduced as a result of tree presence, with the strongest reductions observed for grain maize and sugar beet near the trees (<10 m). In addition, alteration of crop quality was observed near tree rows with decreased dry matter concentration of grain samples and increased crude protein concentration of winter cereals.

Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston reflects on what he calls a 'very odd season'
Bernadette Giacomazzo
Jameis Winston has a few things to say about the Buccaneers "odd" season, which he hopes will turn around with new incoming coach Bruce Arians.
The quarterback spoke to the Tampa Bay-Times, and he spoke extensively on the man who introduced him to the Super Bowl ring.
Arians, who previously said that the Bucs are Jameis' team, thinks extremely highly of his new charge, and this "means a lot" to the young quarterback.
"And that's just how he is, he stands behind his players and I'm happy our team gets to see that side of him. And I just can't wait to get in the building and work with him."
He also said that he was very excited about working with Arians when training finally begins.
"It's funny how things come around full circle. This is the man that introduced me to the Super Bowl ring, so I definitely want to get one with him. It's just neat that he's my coach now. It's really, like, it's a surreal moment that how things have come back and forth."
Jameis Winston first ran across Bruce Arians and his son, Jake, when he was 14 years old. At that time, he attended the Arians' training camp. From there, Arians said that he'd been keeping an eye on Winston's career, and he said that he "knew" that "the kid" would be a star someday.
Now that the two are on the same team, it will be interesting to see if Bruce Arians and Jameis Winston can take the team to the Super Bowl in the future.

As the economy continues its gradual progress to full recovery and the financial outlook of the country is steadily improving, we are finally experiencing a little more liquidity in bank finance at all ends of the spectrum.
Whilst bankers on the frontline have been preaching the banks' mantra that they are 'open for business' for quite some time now, it has taken until comparatively recently for consumers (and us as advisors) to see this convert into lending.
The EFG which has been around now for over 5 years has not always been as accessible as perhaps the government had planned due to the security purportedly covered by the scheme in reality becoming a backstop rather than an alternative to a proprietor's bricks and mortar.
However in the past month alone we have had numerous small successes (ranging from £50k to £1m) in raising bank funding for various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding and growth capital. The pleasing thing for us as professional advisors is that these facilities have been signed off as a mix of unsecured overdrafts, unsupported cash flow lends and of course through the EFG scheme. Add this to some of the larger projects that we are working on which appear to have gained banking support, then the outlook for the corporate funding market would appear to be bright.
We understand from the market place that even the banks that have struggled so publicly are putting their energies into recruiting experienced business development mangers in order to get money out of the door.
Whilst nobody wants to see a return to the conceivably reckless days leading into the last recession, these green shoots are a welcome development in a market that has over recent years become a struggle.
It is still perhaps too early to suggest that bank funding is as readily available as the banks might have us believe. However, with a good advisor on board, a well prepared plan and a set of achievable forecasts, funding would now appear to be available for the right businesses.


The objective is a community-building corridor that not only enables mobility of all kinds – cars, transit, biking, walking – but supports locally-based objectives for economic development and community character.
The project final report has been released and is available at the top of this page.
Somerset Freeholder Director Peter Palmer and Hunterdon Freeholder Deputy Director Matthew Holt welcomed over twenty-five project partners to the Final Presentation of Together 202: Reimagining Complete Communities along a Connecting Corridor in Somerville on May 20th.
Recommendations include creating more opportunities for walking and biking, reimagining vacant retail buildings to adapt to changing demand, and promoting agriculture and eco-tourism opportunities. Project partners helped the team to refine the report's recommendations to ensure greater chance for implementation.
The latest presentation is available in the materials and resources page.

T Minus 3 days and counting until Mexico. I got Brandt practicing up on his Spanish. He can fluently say "I want you to wash my car and my cat with soap and water". I think his education will finally pay off.


Styled with ajak t-shirt and leah skirt .
This much-coveted jacket is back, in rich plaids that we created in-house. The yarn, a wool blend from Italy has a dense, felted look that complements the softly rounded cocoon shape.
I really like the look - but the jacket pills really badly with every wear. It is definitely thin, so wears more like a sweater than a jacket. Style is great though.
Perfect for roaming around on the weekends.
I really love the shape and cut of this jacket/coat. It's so on trend but classic with the slightly oversized look. However, the wool material is completely unlined, and when the wind blows, it goes through the jacket and offers very little warmth. For the price, it should be described more of as a "sweater wool cardigan". The material itself is not durable as an outerwear either. I experienced extreme pilling everywhere to the point and constant wool fiber shedding and now this looks unwearable. Shame because it started off great the an amazing cut and shape.
I love the jacket, it fits shy off loose. It's a well known jacket as in my city, so many girls own it! However, it's prone to pilling so just being cautious with the material.

The World God Only Knows II 07
This week's episode was better than last week's, but between Chihiro's wavering confidence and Keima's obliviousness to the situation at hand made it a sub-par conquest. The episode starts off with a quick recap; Chihiro is obviously developing feelings for Keima as she tries to start small talk with him, but he ignores her hints and tells her that she'll be confessing to the boy they've been attempting to conquer the next day. This visibly puts a downer on Chihiro's mood and she heads home without another word. That night, she's staring at the booklet Keima gave her – 'Spots for a Confession: School Edition' – and seems to become even more depressed. Instead of looking through the book, she picks up her cell phone to call someone and distract herself only to find that her battery is dead. Sighing, she plugs it in to charge and stares at the book some more. Meanwhile, Keima is writing out all of the possible scenarios for Chihiro's confession depending on where she decides to confess while watching the weather. According to the report, the rain will finally stop and the sun will appear for the first time in several days. This gives Keima pause before he realizes that the sun will give Chihiro a better chance of success and continues writing out his notes. Elcie appears and tells him the bath is open, but Keima tells her that he'll take his bath later because he wants to finish his work first. Elcie sits down beside him and comments on how hard he's working and Keima ignores her before commenting that he never realized that his knowledge from his games could be used on a male as well as a female. Trying to ignore this newly realized factoid, Keima continues on with his work with Elcie looking on.
The next morning, Chihiro awakes from a dream of her confessing to the boy but having him disappear only to show Keima instead to a cloudy but rain-free morning and begins getting ready for school. Unplugging her cell phone from it's charger, she notices she has a new text message. And it's from Keima! He texted her, saying that she should arrive to school on time since it's the big day and this causes Chihiro to sigh. We then get a lengthy montage with quite a nice song of Chihiro leaving for school – and grabbing her umbrella just in case – and what she does on the way there. For the most part, it's quite uneventful; she swings on a swing at the park, purchases a coffee from a vending machine and makes faces at a cat until it runs away. Then she spots a sign for a convenience store that is now selling pork buns and dashes inside and purchases one for herself. After a moment, she returns to the store and purchases another one, very likely to be for Keima. Meanwhile, Keima and Elcie are sitting out in the courtyard at school and Elcie is wearing quite a poofy mustache that made me giggle like a little girl. She asks Keima why she's being forced to wear it and he tells her that Chihiro is to practice her confession on Elcie. He then shoos her away to find Chihiro and Elcie sighs before following orders. Unfortunately, Elcie doesn't manage to find Chihiro because Chihiro finds Keima first. She appears behind him (right as he's trying to figure out why he's working so hard given her lack-luster attitude towards her) and offers a pork bun to "the God of Conquest". Irritated, Keima asks what she's doing before snatching the snack from her and devouring it.
After their snack, the conversation quickly turns to Chihiro's upcoming confession. Chihiro tries to invite him to a new Chinese restaurant that appeared in town after the confession, but Keima tells her that afterwards they won't be talking to each other anymore. This appears to make Chihiro a bit upset and she tells Keima that she's not sure if she wants to go through with it because she doesn't really like the boy as much as she thought. Keima becomes furious (and rightfully so, considering how much effort he's put into the whole situation) and tells Chihiro that she's going through with it whether she wants to or not. Chihiro tries to tell him something, but he cuts her off and goes on to say that every other girl he's encountered tried their hardest, so he can't figure out why Chihiro won't try her hardest. This upsets Chihiro and she runs off, saying that she doesn't want to try her hardest because there's no point since she has no redeeming qualities. As she runs off, Keima collapses on the bench and tries to figure out why he's so bent out of shape about her not wanting to go through with the confession. Elcie reappears and suddenly Keima realizes that he had put so much effort into trying to understand the male, that he completely ignored Chihiro and all of the signals she was trying to send him. Angry with himself, he gets up and informs Elcie that the emptiness in Chihiro's heart may have increased thanks to him. Elcie becomes worried and asks him what he's going to do. Keima simply says that he'll be the one to conquer Chihiro instead before taking chase.
As Keima chases after Chihiro (with Elcie monitoring the loose soul's signal), he reflects on the fact that he never noticed the signs and berates himself before finding Chihiro on a large ship, looking over the balcony. Over-reacting like always, Keima tackles Chihiro, telling her not to jump. She shouts at him, saying that she would never jump and pushes him away and stomps up a flight of stairs. She confides in Keima that she doesn't feel like she shines, so she becomes obsessed with finding someone who does so that she can shine with them (this explains why she's constantly jumping from crush to crush). Keima tries to reassure her, but Chihiro rejects his advances, going so far as to beat him in the head with her umbrella. Eventually, Keima tells her that she can't give up on herself, much like how he hasn't given up on his own life. He goes on to say that although people may tell him that his life is boring or ordinary, he ignores them because his life is how he defines it and that's how Chihiro should live her life as well. This startles Chihiro and she beats him with her umbrella again, but Keima is somehow able to snag a kiss from her, releasing the loose soul, which Elcie captures effortlessly. The next day, Chihiro heads to school in a much better mood and appears to be shining herself, which is fantastic. However, Keima is mulling over how each girl he's conquered has had a personality of their own and their own faults, which has him confused. Could it be he's questioning his decision to immerse himself in games?
Opinions: As much as I liked this episode and despite the fact that it redeemed this particular conquest, it was entirely too predictable. I knew from the second episode that Chihiro was falling for Keima and that he would eventually be the one to conquer her heart as much as he didn't want to. Overall it was a good episode, but unfortunately this conquest seems to be the weakest of the season so far (much like Kanon's conquest from last season). I am curious to see if Keima is reconsidering his decision about gaming though. Anywho, on to the next conquest!

Binding Threads / Expanding Threads: The Art of Creating "Between-ness"
December 22, 2017 - March 4, 2018
« ICAN Nobel Peace Prize Candle Commemoration
New Year's Eve Himalayan Buffet Dinner »
Many works made with materials like thread, cloth, and fiber transcend both the genre of crafts and art. This exhibition, featuring 16 artists, introduces numerous works that are a product of each person's encounter with these materials. Just as a piece of fabric consists of interwoven warp and weft, this exhibition, made up of displays by eight groups of artists, promises to be a space in which one person's intentions intersect with those of another.
10:00-17:00 (Last admission 16:30)
Closed Mondays (except January 8 and February 12), from December 27 to January 1, on January 9 and February 13.
Adult ¥1030 (¥820), University students ¥720 (¥620)
High school students and seniors [65 and over] ¥510 (¥410)
*Prices in (): Advance purchase and groups of 30 or more
*Junior high school students and younger: Free
The greater part of a woven work is composed of air. Fiber usually comprises no more than 20% to 50% of the mass, and gaps are an essential element both in fiber twisted into thread and in threads woven together to create cloth. It is these gaps or spaces that give cloth its thinness and lightness, its robust ability to stretch and shrink, its warmth. The way the threads are woven together and the shape of the resultant gaps create the essential nature of the cloth, and gives it its particular character and expressiveness.
This exhibition offers an introduction to 15 artists and one group of artists who create with the material of fiber. The following words of foremost psychopathologist and pioneer of clinical philosophy Bin Kimura will serve as an introductory "thread" to the exhibition: "The Self is none other than the relationship between self and other — which includes not only the other of the present physical world but the other whom one faces in the moment, the groups to which one belongs, the worlds of past and future, and so on — and above all between self and self. " (Kankei to shite no jiko (Self as Relationship), Misuzu Shobo, 2005). That is to say, through confronting thread and cloth, we are seeking to engage deeply with the self and with life itself.
The "thread" of the title — pronounced ito — is not only ito as material, but also ito in its other meaning of "intention", the artists' intentions. Just as threads cross and bind to produce cloth, the intentions of these artists have crossed and bonded together to produce this exhibition. Now we await you, the viewers, to visit this exhibition and further bind all into a relationship of "between-ness" through the weaving of your thoughts and responses.

The Tragically Hip to Release Two Videos About Their Final Days
Dave Lifton
Next month, the Tragically Hip will release two videos that chronicle their final days with lead singer Gord Downie. Long Time Running, a feature film documentary about their 2016 Man Machine Poem tour, will come out on Dec. 1. A National Celebration, which documents their final concert, will arrive three weeks later.
Directed by Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier, Long Time Running takes fans inside the rehearsals for that 15-date tour, which was announced after an announcement that Downie had a glioblastoma multiforme, an incurable brain tumor. With interviews from all five members of the Tragically Hip, it will air on Canada's BellMedia this Sunday (Nov. 12), after which it will be available for streaming on Netflix. The DVD and Blu-ray includes the director's cut and a featurette with 10 minutes worth of interviews from fans like Leslie Feist and Sarah Harmer.
A National Celebration, meanwhile, was recorded on Aug. 20, 2016 at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ontario, and features all 30 songs the Tragically Hip performed that night. This show, which found Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the audience, was streamed globally via the CBC. The band is releasing the video without overdubs.
Downie passed away on Oct. 17 at the age of 53, only 10 days before the release of a solo double-album, Introduce Yerself. Tragically Hip guitarist Rob Baker praised the work, saying: "To know your time is limited and to say, 'This is what I'm going to do with the time I've got left.' I thought it was a beautiful legacy project for him, to really hunker down and use his time for something positive, to build some awareness."

Washington - Northwest Regional Aviation: Protecting the Puget Sound
The Seattle Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) established Northwest Regional Aviation (NWRA)—an aviation consortium that protects the Puget Sound area from terrorism and responds to large-scale disasters. The NWRA saved 12 survivors during the first three hours of the Snohomish County mudslide on March 22, 2014.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, the Seattle UASI sought to increase capabilities of existing aviation units to interdict threats to high-risk targets. The UASI's five jurisdictions pooled resources to create NWRA in 2004. The UASI invested in new and upgraded aircraft, purchased high-tech equipment, and standardized training and exercise requirements for teams from each jurisdiction. The unit performs search and rescue operations, assists with criminal manhunts, and enhances port security in the region. NWRA is capable of operating in the geographically challenging environments of western Washington, which include some of the Nation's tallest mountains and two of the Nation's busiest ports.
The Seattle UASI faced two major challenges when developing NWRA. First, aircraft specialized equipment needed to be standardized. The five UASI jurisdictions addressed this by convening regular planning meetings to standardize purchase of avionics and other high-tech equipment. Second, participating jurisdictions had differing methods for training and exercising aerial response teams. NWRA standardized training and exercises across jurisdictions to improve uniformity and predictability during incident response. By developing common procedures for performing high-rise rescue, vessel boarding, and other critical operations, NWRA ensured the interoperability of its teams for coordinated multi-aircraft missions. Additionally, the unit routinely exercises with the United States Navy, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), the United States Coast Guard, Washington State Patrol, Washington National Guard and the Washington Ferry System to enhance the region's law enforcement and counterterrorism capacity.
Figure 1: NWRA rescued 16 survivors from the Snohomish County mudslide in March 2014.
NWRA has proven capable of operating in Washington's challenging geographic environments. On March 22, 2014, a massive mudslide struck Snohomish County, northeast of Seattle. In areas of thick, unstable mud up to 75 feet deep, NWRA was able to spot and rescue 12 survivors in the first 3 hours of response operations. Regular aviation drills allowed six aircraft from the NWRA to operate simultaneously in constricted airspace along with a U.S. Navy helicopter during the response. In response to the 2013 I-5 Bridge collapse, NWRA coordinated the aviation response along with the search and rescue operations. NWRA teams have routinely rescued injured hikers from the Cascade Mountains, responded to vessel distress calls in the Puget Sound, and assisted Seattle police in criminal manhunts following active shooter incidents. The Seattle UASI's dedication to investment in aircraft, technology, training, and exercising has resulted in a unique regional asset capable of responding to a variety of threats and hazards.
Figure 2: The NWRA regularly participates in regional exercises, such as this fast roping exercise with King County Sheriff and CBP in the Port of Seattle.
Since 2007, the Seattle UASI has allocated more than $8 million in Federal preparedness grant funding—including funds from the State Homeland Security Grant Program, the UASI grant program, and the Port Security Grant Program—to NWRA. The state has used Federal grants to purchase and upgrade aircraft, acquire high-tech aircraft equipment (thermal imaging devices, video downlink equipment, moving maps, and rescue hoists, among many investments), and develop specialized training practices for aviation crews.

Q: Understanding linux /etc/shadow file structure (Linux) Consider the following line taken from /etc/shadow file:
root:$1$NFEf74q.$bmukkxAq9dOMJINgEtP7u0:15258:0:::::

From this I understand that the hashing algorithm is md5 ($1) and starting from third $ sign is the hashed password consisting of 22 characters. From what I've read, this length is due to the hash being further encoded with base64 algorithm, is this correct? And If yes, how would you get the original md5 (32 chars) from it?

A: You base64_decode the string, and then you convert the binary string in hex representation.
In php you would use
$md5 = bin2hex(base64_decode($string));


When you're young and on top of the world, cancer is likely the last thing on your mind. And yet, cancer rates for millennials and Gen Xers appear to be on the rise. One study from the American Cancer Society last year found that colorectal cancer rates are on the increase for young and middle-age adults. Rectal cancer rates, researchers found, are "increasing particularly fast," as 3 in 10 rectal cancer diagnoses are made in patients younger than 55.
Three-hospital Inspira Health Network, based in Mullica Hill, N.J., is seeing that national trend manifest itself. The system has seen an uptick in cancer diagnoses for younger patients. As such, it has launched a Millennial Advisory Committee that, while not tied directly to cancer, will be used partly as a vehicle to better understand and treat millennials with cancer diagnoses.
Shailja Roy, M.D., a medical oncologist who's affiliated with Inspira, says that the data were eye-opening. She recalls seeing a patient in his 20s recently who presented with rectal bleeding and had no idea that it was cancer. Roy believes hospitals need to build better cancer awareness among the millennial population, and she says that starts by encouraging them to get screened.
Inspira rolled out the Millennial Advisory Committee last fall, with plans to create similar bodies for other age groups. The committee consists of about 15 or so men and women from across the organization who meet quarterly to discuss perspectives and research the impact of care on those born between 1980 and 2000.
Cancer has been one key focus for the MAC in its early days. One early takeaway is the importance of fertility preservation for younger patients who are being treated for cancer, Roy says. As such, Inspira recently launched a new program that has female cancer patients also meet with a gynecologist to discuss such concerns.
Sarah Graham, a brand manager in Inspira's marketing department and member of the MAC, says members learned early on that millennials interact with brands differently from how other generations do. Millennials are, perhaps, much more focused on the "why," she says, and may want to know why, for example, an appointment is delayed and what the health system is doing to rectify it. Graham is eager to learn more about that "why" for millennials and find better ways to serve them in cancer care and beyond.
"Health care is not a one-size-fits-all model. You've got to be able to relate to a generation like millennials and stay on top of the needs of modern-day, evolving society," she says.

"The innovative design of our new turnstile modules will provide facilities with customizable and scalable access point protection like they've never had before," said Ross Draney, market development for CoverSix Shelters.
The turnstile modules work as plug and play individual units that can be added to a CoverSix Shelter 8' x 10' guard shack or 8' x 20' office to provide an extra layer of security and access control. The turnstiles attach individually or in groups as auxiliary components, providing a scalable, modular, expandable system for ultimate flexibility and security.
"As security continues to become a more integral part of operations in refineries, on construction sites and in many other environments, we see the turnstile modules as another solution we can provide our customers to ensure they have the necessary measures in place to reduce risk and increase peace of mind," said Draney.
CoverSix Shelters has long been known in the industry as a leader for providing blast-resistant, ballistic-protected and all-steel buildings built for rugged environments. To learn more, visit CoverSixShelters.com or call 855-REDGUARD.

Tricia and Lisa did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Leading up to our big day, communication was really important for my husband and I because we live across the country from where we were married and Tricia always answered any questions that we had promptly. She did a great job directing everyone for family and bridal party photos making them efficient and beautiful. She is so easy to work with, especially on a day that can be stressful for many. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined with a great variety of shots, especially candid ones which were at the top of the list for us. She captured all of the emotions of the day in an amazing way. We could not have asked for a better photographer or better wedding photos!
