Gulp! X-ray reveals diamond in thief's stomach
Sept. 14, 2011, 5:27 PM UTC / Source: msnbc.com staff and news service reports
A thief in Spain may have bitten off more than he could chew when he stole a diamond and then swallowed it, only to be caught when police made him undergo an X-ray.
Police said the thief stole the stone, worth about $16,500, from a restaurant in the luxury beach resort of Marbella. A British tourist reported that a purse with the diamond in it was stolen by two well-dressed men who entered a restaurant.
Hours later, officers stopped a car at a routine checkpoint, and discovered there were four men with criminal records in the car. They also found the purse inside the car, police said in a statement, as well as cash and other valuables.
"During the operation, officers noticed one of the men putting his hand to his mouth," police said, .
This raised the suspicions of the officers, who took all four occupants of the car to the hospital.
"To find the stone, those arrested were taken to a medical center where they underwent X-rays, and the diamond was located inside the stomach of one of them, who admitted swallowing it," the police statement said.
The detained men were not identified. And the police did not immediately say how they planned to retrieve the gem.

Duke Energy breaking ground for solar power farm at Camp Lejeune
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — Duke Energy Corp. is breaking ground on a solar energy farm on the East Coast's largest Marine Corps base as the military diversifies from petroleum power.
The country's largest electric company is starting construction Friday at Camp Lejeune on a 13-megawatt solar array on 100 acres. The project's goal is helping the Navy and Marines meet their energy and security goals while furthering Duke Energy's renewable energy holdings.
The Navy has decided its reliance on oil is a national security problem and plans to produce at least half of its on-shore energy needs from alternative sources by 2020.
Duke Energy is required by state law to generate 12.5 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2021. Duke is investing about $500 million on three other North Carolina solar projects.

Renewable energy advocates say utility's fee is unfair
MATTHEW BROWN, Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A proposed fee for some Montana-Dakota Utilities customers who use their own wind or solar power has drawn opposition from renewable energy backers who say the company is trying to stifle small-scale electricity generation.
The Public Service Commission said the fee is unprecedented for customers who use "net-metering," which allows homeowners or businesses to sell excess power they generate back to the grid in exchange for credit on their bills.
It's built into a 21-percent rate increase that's proposed for about 26,000 eastern Montana customers. The Bismarck, North Dakota-based utility says it needs additional revenue to cover its increasing costs, including $400 million in pollution controls at coal plants in Montana and South Dakota.
55-turbine wind power farm to be built in South Dakota

How do New York Times journalists use technology in their jobs and in their personal lives? Isabella Kwai, a correspondent in Sydney, Australia, discussed the tech she's using.
At this point, my iPhone 6S is basically another limb. We don't have desk phones in our bureau and everyone bounces around, so it pays to be as mobile as possible. I have Slack, Google Hangouts and the Google Docs app downloaded on my phone. I'll also take pictures and videos to remind me of scenes when I'm reporting a feature. I'll use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to both share our bureau's stories and find potential ones.
It looks like Apple doesn't even sell the iPhone 6S anymore. They want us to upgrade. But it's been only a few years, so I refuse.
For reporting in the field, I had a Sony ICD-PX470 voice recorder with a built-in USB that was the slimmest, most unobtrusive device — until I dropped it on a recent assignment. I'm using the Voice Memos app for now until I can pick up a new one. The TapeACall app works for recording phone interviews. And after a few too many inventive attempts at finding power outlets, I always carry a Cygnett power bank.
My beloved battered laptop is a MacBook Air that does everything it needs to do. While trying to keep organized, I've been loving Google Keep lately as a to-do list, because it's not too fussy. Wunderlist is another app I'd recommend for that.
My favorite Chrome extensions and Mac apps are Momentum for a dose of nature on my dashboard, OneTab for my crazy tab collection and Self Control, which bars access to Twitter, Facebook and any other time wasters for a set period. Sometimes you need technology to keep you from your basest instincts.
Also, I'd like to formally thank Lane 8's deep house sets on SoundCloud for hauling me through long hours of writing. Please never stop making music.
Australia has a reputation for trying to limit transparency. And are there tech tools you've found that help to improve transparency?
The lack of transparency is more of a general suspicion from officials and people in the corporate sector about journalists. Questions for government officials or corporate executives are heavily filtered through publicists and communications people. It's harder to get someone in a powerful position on the phone. Certain applications, statistics or reports are surprisingly difficult to find.
It just means having more conversations with different sources to try to get information. One handy trick I did learn is that you can click on the arrow next to a search engine result. It pulls up the previously published versions of the site, even if the current version of a website is down.
What tech do Australians love?
As long as it's available here, we love many of the same apps and gadgets Americans do.
One thing that doesn't exist here is Venmo, the peer-to-peer payments app, which I used to miss. But to make up for it, the apps for the major banks here are amazing — super easy to use, with built-in budgeting systems and pretty aesthetics. People use them to transfer money almost immediately from bank to bank.
Also, because there's so much natural beauty here, a fair few of my Australian friends seem to have drones or GoPro cameras and make travel videos for a hobby.
Another thing I've noticed, though it might not be isolated to Australia: For most people I've encountered in their 20s who use social media to document their lives, Facebook is pretty much dead. Every new person I meet asks to add me on Instagram now.
Amazon only recently arrived in Australia. Are Australians embracing it?
When I lived in the United States, Amazon Prime was practically a way of life. But it hasn't quite taken off here in the same way. For me, it's because the selection of products was limited until November, and shipping here has been slow and unreliable, so it hasn't quite distinguished itself from Australian retailers.
I'll still order the occasional clothing and electronics item online — but for everything else, I'll go in person to browse the stores. That used to include books — until I got a Kindle for my birthday last year. I really hate to say it, but I love reading on it! If there's one area Amazon is raking in my cash, it's e-books.
Outside of work, what tech are you obsessed with, and why?
For personal budgeting, I'd really recommend the You Need a Budget app, which has a mysterious way of making saving money seem like a game. Headspace, a meditation and mindfulness app, helps me wind down. We even had a nice lunchtime meditation at the office together with it once — before a call from a publicist interrupted proceedings.

BYU professor addresses natural disaster mitigation in Indonesia
Alicia Matsuura
The Kennedy Center hosted a lecture on Wednesday, Nov. 30, on the integrated tsunami and earthquake disaster mitigation in Indonesia. The lecture also addressed how to work effectively to save lives through education.
Ron Harris addresses tsunami and earthquake mitigation in Indonesia for the weekly lecture series at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday. (Ari Davis)
Geological sciences professor Ron Harris specializes in mountain building processes, neotectonics, active faults and fault zone hydrodynamics. He bridged his skills to help with natural disaster mitigation and training geologists in developing countries.
Harris spent a significant amount of time in Indonesia educating communities on safety procedures in the face of a natural disaster.
"One of the reasons I've been drawn to this part of the world is because it's one of the most tectonically active areas on the planet," Harris said.
The 2004 tsunami devastated Indonesia resulting in more than 160,000 deaths. Following the disaster, Harris helped the Indonesian people develop the knowledge and skills to increase their chances of survival.
"I stayed in their villages and I got to know their families," Harris said. "I knew hundreds, maybe thousands of these people through my years of research there. I lived among them and know what their needs were."
Harris dedicated his time and skills researching through historical records, looking at tsunami deposits and exploring landforms to calculate how much energy is stored and forecast potential disasters. He took this knowledge and applied it to his three-point method of forecasting, communicating and implementing information related to safety procedures.
"You can't do just one part," Harris said. "You need all three and you need to be involved in all three. It's important to not only forecast safety procedures, but to also communicate and implement the information."
Harris forecasted, communicated and implemented an important principle within communities through the phrase "Dua puluh tiga kali," which translates into "20 three times."
"If there is 20 seconds of ground shaking, you need to get up and run 20 minutes to evacuate and then go up at least 20 meters in elevation," Harris said.
Harris contacted the heads of local Indonesian governments and got them involved in educating the people through songs, dance, parades and other forms.
This training helped prepare the community for a 2013 earthquake and flood that rose to heights of 30 meters. In the end, only seven people died because of the evacuation drills and education implemented by community leaders.
"There were 428 homes that were wiped out," Harris said. "In Indonesia that's about five or six people per home so over 2,000 people were saved."

The school spelling bee was yesterday. It was epic. I should've worn stronger antiperspirant.
We've not had good luck with school spelling bees. The first was in 2nd grade but she was young having skipped 1st grade. She didn't really get that there are no second chances in spelling competitions. Spell it wrong and you're gone. HORIZONTAL did her in.
It was one tough lesson.
The next spelling bee didn't come until 4th grade at the new school she'd started just a few weeks prior. By this time she knew the rules but though she'd win – no problem. She rushed and got the word wrong. We think it was CATERPILLAR that made her stumble but can't remember for sure.
Which brings us to today. She'd already won her class spelling bee and the school competition determines if she goes on to the regional bee.
She studied but I wouldn't say she studied diligently. What she did work on was slowing down. Making sure she hears the word correctly, visualizing it and carefully and deliberately spelling it aloud.
Considering her history, she just didn't want to go out in the first round.
The principal called the word – GRADE – without the benefit of a microphone. Not sure why because it was right next to him. He needed it as you can imagine in a gymnasium full of wiggly little kids.
She heard the word (so she thought) and even asked him to repeat it so she could be sure (so she thought).
And then she spelled – RAID – and she was out.
And my heart broke And my poor sweet girl, who could've spelled that word way back in preschool, had bombed yet another spelling bee. As she pushed her seat back I could see the chin quiver. You know how that happens right before you cry? It was rough.
She managed to hold it together until the end of that round and then there was a February miracle. One of the teachers, not her own teacher who was actually on the judge's panel, but another teacher contested her elimination because she hadn't correctly heard the word because the principal didn't use the microphone. Thankfully, all the powers that be agreed and she rejoined the spelling bee.
And the principal started using the microphone.
One of the best parts for me as a mom was hearing the school cheer for her when she rejoined the competition. Even her fellow students knew she got a raw deal.
I think my husband may have let out a whoop. He's been saving up from all those never played basketball and soccer games, the dance recitals that never were and the gymnastics meets that never will be. He wanted to cheer for his kid. One of the sweetest things I've ever witnessed.
Yes, I'm proud of her for winning the spelling bee. Not because spelled the words correctly (finally!) but because she learned from her past mistakes. She didn't let the first-round snafu rattle her confidence. She showed grit.
She won that spelling bee like a boss.
But more than feeling prideful I'm feeling happy. It's not often that she's recognized for her accomplishments. You can't really run around showing everyone your straight A report card or IQ score – unless you really don't want to have any friends.
Winning the spelling bee is giving her a moment of glory and she deserves it.
What are your experiences with academic competitions or spelling bees? Share in the comments or on Facebook.
Thank you for sharing! Sweet story of success and learning! We just were talking with my son and his teacher today about his need to slow down and focus on accuracy in his work so his work and grades reflect his capabilities too. And kudos for her keeping her composure. Very timely! I am glad you shared. I know it is so hard when you want to say, hey my kid just mastered this amazing thing, and still have friends. 🙂 Totally know that feeling.


This was a dessert following a special dinner made for my husband, and he really liked it. Don't worry, it is Whole 30 and flavorful.
In a pan melt 1 Tbs ghee. Quarter one pear and add, flesh down, to pan. Set to medium, cover and allow to fry for about 5 minutes. Flip to skin side (should have a bit of browning), and sprinkle desired amount of pecans on top. Then add cinnamon and drizzle 2 Tbs coconut milk on top. Cover, remove from heat, serve after allowing to sit for 10 - 15 minutes.
Make sure to serve with spoons, you'll want all the goodies in every bite!
I made this in an attempt to find more breakfast options for my kiddos. It is called Blueberry Clafouti...So good.
Pour egg mixture into prepared pan; scatter blueberries throughout and bake for 40 minutes or until set. The clafouti will puff up in the oven and then sink once it starts to cool.
I am definitely going to play around with other fruits an probably pumpkin. It ended up being dessert for us tonight.

THE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE to 08 11 14

Review: William Russell, 14 10 14
The folly of being Oscar.
This is a splendidly acted three-hander in which Merlin Holland and John O'Connor have used the transcripts of the two trials of Oscar Wilde to tell the story of his downfall.
John Gorick is a superb Wilde, all smooth conceit and self esteem, while Rupert Mason and William Kempsell demonstrate remarkable versatility as everyone else.
Wilde's tragedy has, of course, been the subject of many plays and films all of which show him as the victim of prejudice and the social and legal system of the time. The transcripts of the trials, however, reveal a rather different figure. His overweening conceit, his insistence on playing to the gallery, on treating it all – Edward Carson, who defended Queensberry in the libel trial, was an old university foe – as if he were addressing some sort of point scoring intellectual debating society meant that he quite literally dug his own grave.
His lover, Alfred Douglas, was no help and the Marquis of Queensberry, Douglas's father, who had accused him of being a sodomite, which was the case, was quite possibly mad, but none of that really alters the fact that Wilde should have ignored the libel which consisted of a card left at his club read only by the porter who accepted it.
He did have sex with young working class men, something that could not be kept secret and the law duly took its course. Then, as now, people kiss and tell. Victorian social habits are not our habits and there were plenty working class lads who saw nothing wrong in obliging a gent and plenty of gentlemen who saw nothing wrong in having a bit of rough trade outside marriage.
Wilde was in part a victim of the law, of a vengeful man, and a less than helpful lover in Douglas, but he was much more a victim of his own folly no matter how tragic a figure he also is. The play does have its faults – the line about "the importance of being Earnest" is quoted far too often. All right, we get it. But it is a thoroughly stimulating evening which takes a new, fresh look view at a much viewed subject.

Editor's Note: I am completely fascinated with how this project came together for feature in Confluence Magazine. It's very possible for an insightful photo editor to see multiple possible threads within a robust collection of photographs covering a meaningful event. Felicia's documentation of the days spent in China by American parents adopting a little girl provided just such a robust collection. The thread that Ryan teased free from within those images was both unexpected and deeply moving. You'll see that in Felicia's summary of her project, she speaks with one frame of reference, that of the mother Signe. Ryan, however, speaks through this edit, from the point of view of the child, Victoria. Between them, they weave a very beautiful story of what it means to navigate the space between two worlds.
Felicia's project statement is found below, and you can read about Ryan's thoughts as he curated this project in the Editor's Journal here.
Three years ago, Signe and Cory Clayton made a decision to adopt a child. After much research, they decided that China was the best option for them and were open to the idea of being matched with a child of special needs. Around that time, a baby girl was born with a congenital heart defect. She was found around 6 months of age on a busy street and brought to an orphanage near the city of Nanchang, where her caregivers named her An Bai Li, meaning safe and beautiful. During her time at the orphanage, she received surgery for her heart defect and soon after, was transferred to a foster home.
In February 2018, An Bai Li was matched for Signe and Cory's family and a few months later, they traveled to Nanchang, China to meet her and bring her home to Charlottesville, Virginia. It was important to Signe, who is a photographer herself, to have this experience documented. We had chatted about the possibility of having me come along but it was not until a few weeks prior to traveling, that all the logistics and paperwork fell into place. Serendipitously, the first meeting of their little girl, whom they named Victoria Li, took place over Mother's Day weekend.
I had photographed an adoption homecoming a few years before but traveling to document the first days of a union was a new experience for me. Admittedly, this assignment was not an easy one to navigate where the boundaries of a documentary photographer were concerned. On one hand, I do not wish to interfere in a way that would influence the course of their story, but on the other hand, I am invested in this family, and want to be there not only as their photographer, but as their support. Because I understood Mandarin, I became their translator during that time. However, the true challenge was with Victoria, who at times looked to me for her requests because I was Asian and I could understand her. I would redirect her needs to Signe and Cory, without actually translating what she was asking for. It wasn't easy to do, but it was necessary line to implement while doing this work.
During my time in China, I had learnt from the adoption handler that China's birth planning policy has recently changed from one-child to two-children. In reading more about China's population control and international adoption policies from this country, and how it has evolved over the decades, I realize that this is a highly complex and controversial topic. It is cannot be painted with a simple brush - namely international adoption has been fuelled by China's One-child policy, where parents have discarded their daughter(s) at overcrowded government orphanages in pursuit of a son. One reference article by Kathryn Joyce for The New Republic Magazine addressed the complexities by sharing results from a research by Kay Ann Johnson. Ms. Johnson's research showed that "Western media's claims about China's preference for sons gave cover to the systemic violation of human rights embedded in government policy" and that these birth families suffered too. She believes that China's "social engineering effort has created a widespread crisis for hundreds of thousands of children and their families".
Why is it necessary to consider these multiple narratives? Imagine an adopted child who grows up believing that she has been abandoned by her birth parents due to deep-seated patriarchal beliefs that having sons will bring more happiness. How will this affect her own identity and self-worth? Telling this adoption story in a documentary way is important to Signe and Cory because they want their daughter to have visual proof to help process her own adoption and origin. Having photographs, like when Victoria reached for her foster mother instead of Signe, will be the proof that she was loved and cared for during foster care. Seeing photographs of her orphanage and where she was found will be invaluable to shaping her own identity.
"Having these photos," Signe told me when we spoke in advance of this feature coming out, "is having something tangible to show people - and a reference for us - that this is what it was like. It was all the emotions and extremes, and they were all co-existing somehow, and we were just trying to navigate through it. Yes, there was a lot of joy and in a way, It was a culmination of something we had been working towards for a really long time, but it also felt strange.

1 Line the base of a 23cm (9in) square springform cake tin with baking paper. Then, using a knife, open up 250g (9oz) of the Oreo biscuits, scrape the creamy filling into a large bowl and set aside.
2 Put the biscuits into a food processor and whizz until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. Using a tablespoon, press the biscuit base evenly into the prepared tin and leave to firm up in the refrigerator.
3 Meanwhile, put the gelatine into a small heatproof bowl, pour over the 4 tablespoons of water and set aside. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bowl. Leave to cool for a few minutes. Scrape the creamy filling from the remaining biscuits and add to the bowl with the other biscuit filling, then crush the remaining biscuits and set aside.
4 Beat the cream cheese, cream, vanilla paste, Oreo filling and sugar together in a bowl using an electric hand whisk. Stir in the gelatine mixture and the melted white chocolate, then fold in the crushed biscuits, reserving a few crumbs for decoration.
5 Pour the mixture on to the biscuit base, keeping a little bit back to use as decoration. Leave to set in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Finally, using a sharp knife dipped in hot water, cut into 12 small squares. Add a small scoop of the remaining cream mixture to the top of each square, then dust with the reserved cookie crumbs for decoration.


In October of 2001, the powers that be (the new owners) at ftp.cdrom.com restricted outside access to the idgames archive (as well as a number of other archives), and cancelled the accounts of the maintainers.
Shortly after that, the maintainers, Frans P. de Vries and Ty Halderman, started maintaining the archives using the former mirror at Gamers.Org. A new hostname was created - archives.gamers.org - to be the primary host for the archives no longer hosted at ftp.cdrom.com. Here is information about the other Community Archives available at archives.gamers.org.
The hostname and path for the idgames archive is now archives.gamers.org/pub/idgames/. Access by FTP is preferred, so that the web server is always available for serving our web pages.
If you wish to do an upload, you must ftp directly to archives.gamers.org and upload to the /pub/idgames/incoming directory.
Other sites mirror this primary host, and you are encouraged to use one of those mirrors. Here is the .message file from the archive that lists the idgames mirrors.
ftptree - a graphical representation of the entire idgames tree.
Each night, a map of the idgames directory structure is generated. A new graphical ftptree is generated if this structure differs from the previous night's structure. As per the above note, incoming and newstuff are not listed.
ftpbush - a shallower graphical representation of the idgames tree.
Like the full ftptree, but with most of the alphabetical subdirectories pruned off to reduce the size of the file.
last24hrs - a sorted and hyperlinked version of the LAST.24hours file.
The LAST.24hours file is generated hourly and lists the files that were added or changed in the past 24 hours. The list is filtered to remove incoming and newstuff references, sorted alphabetically, and then hyperlinked to provide easy access.
last7days - a sorted and hyperlinked version of the LAST.7days file.
last14days - a sorted and hyperlinked version of the LAST.14days file.
last30days - a sorted and hyperlinked version of the LAST.30days file.
last60days - a sorted and hyperlinked version of the LAST.60days file.
These files are generated daily at midnight and list the files that were added or changed in the specified preceding period. The same operations are applied to these files as were applied to the LAST.24hours file.

Inspired by a photograph of birds perched on the wires of a street light, journalist and musician Jarbas Agnelli decided to write a song using the relative proximity of the birds as notes on a stave. "Birds on the Wires" is his musical interpretation of the picture. He says "Inspiration can come from anywhere, but we must be alert". You can follow Jarbas at http://twitter.com/jarbas_agnelli
The video has received widespread attention, appearing on popular websites like Laughing Squid, Wired, and Gizmodo. Jarbas's friend, Sean Crownover (Candlegravity) from Tokyo, has also posted a version on his FaceBook page (player bottom left).

Musical Data
I'm reminded of David Cope's ideas on the concept of musical recombinancy. In his "Experiments in Musical Intelligence" he argues that:
"...recombinancy appears everywhere as a natural evolutionary and creative process. All the great books in the English language, for example, are constructed from recombinations of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Similarly, most of the great works of Western art music exist as recombinations of the twelve pitches of the equal-tempered scale and their octave equivalents. The secret lies not in the invention of new letters or notes but in the subtlety and elegance of their recombination."
These "hidden structures" are present all around us, at the very core of sound creation in the natural world. For more on exploring the hidden data in nature see Evan Grant: Making sound visible through cymatics (YouTube video)

Pogo Starts a Blog
Australian electronic music artist Pogo has started a blog at http://pogotracks.blogspot.com/ currently featuring an FAQ and a list of interviews. His unique sound comes from the sampling, sequencing and reimagining of popular childhood movies. Tracks are constructed using sounds lifted from movie scenes (sometimes entirely), drums, bass and percussion.
Melodies are formed using cut-up dialogues in a non-lexical vocal style; "There are no definitive lyrics to my tracks because I have never intended to form sentences with the samples I use." The music is then synced to video cuts from the original movie to create a new mini-trailer.
Pogo has a growing fan-base on YouTube where fresh uploads and the viral potential of video widgets quickly attract thousands of visitors. Creations such as Expialidocious have now reached far in excess of half a million views. You can browse the growing collection of mashups at http://www.youtube.com/user/Fagottron
Below is the recent video for his track 'Bangarang' composed of sounds from the classic Spielberg film 'Hook'
Update 13th Sept '09
'Bangarang' removed from YouTube - Pogo Blog visit the link for full explanation.
Today, Sony Pictures Entertainment claimed that 'Bangarang' is an infringement of copyright, and the video has been removed from YouTube. I suppose this had to happen eventually given the kind of world we live in. (September 10th 2009).
Unfortunately this is a common experience for remixers of controlled media, such are the constraints of heavily restricted copyrights. However you can still play and download the full track here (while it lasts!)

Random Musicthoughts - Jean-Luc Godard
"It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to."
http://musicthoughts.com/t/2357


These rules are applied to determine team and individual results for the RR10s, in specific events and for the overall championship. They apply to the men's and the ladies' competitions, which are completely independent of each other.
They came into effect for the 1998 season, and will apply until such time as they are amended by the AGM.
A runner's finishing position will be recorded as the one corresponding to the ticket they receive at the finishing line.
Runners will not be given a finishing position in the event organised by their own club.
Men's teams for a club for a specific race are formed by taking the finishing runners for that club in groups of five. The first five finishers are the A team, the next five the B team, and so on for as many complete groups of five as are available.
Ladies' teams for a club for a specific race are formed by taking the finishing runners for that club in groups of three. The first three finishers are the A team, the next three the B team, and so on for as many complete groups of three as are available.
A team's score will be the sum of the individual finishing positions of its runners, so lowest score wins.
In the event of two teams getting the same score (as determined by (3) above) the team with the best placed final team runner will be given the higher position in the team competition. This will tend to give a slight advantage to teams with strength in depth rather than those who depend on one or two individuals. For example, if ladies team X had runners finishing 1st, 3rd and 7th, and team Y had runners finishing 2nd, 4th and 5th, both would have a score of 11. Team Y would be the winners because their third runner finished higher (5th) than team X's third runner (7th).
A runner's score for the season is the sum of their best six finishing positions.
The runner with the lowest score is the winner.
Runners with only five finishes will be ordered and ranked after those with six finishes, and so on down to those with only one finish.
Runners with equal scores will be listed as tied.
After n races of the season, each runner's best n-1 races (up to the maximum of six) will be considered when producing the league table. This allows for runners from the organisers of the early races to be represented fairly. So, after two races, the best single race will be used. After three races, the best two, and so on up to the best six from race seven onwards.
A team's finishing position counts as its score for a particular event.
Teams that did not have the required number of finishers will be given a score of 100.
The organising club(s) teams will be given a score of zero.
Each team's points for all events will be summed to give its total for the season.
The club with the least points is the winner.
Clubs with equal scores will be listed as tied.

Netflix TV Leader Bela Bajaria's Secret to Success: She's 'Not an Intellectual'
Wilson Chapman
Since 2020, television programming at Netflix has primarily been led by Bela Bajaria, who joined the streamer in 2016 and rose quickly through the company from her initial post as head of unscripted and international content. In the time she's been at the helm, the company has had its stumbles but has also produced immensely successful series like "Squid Game" and "Wednesday."
So what's her method to success? According to a profile in The New Yorker, it's making shows like "gourmet cheeseburgers."
Netflix Is Going All in on Mindless Soaps Like 'Ginny & Georgia': The Viewership Numbers Speak for Themselves
Jessica Chastain Responds to '7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' Fan Casting: 'Send Me a Script'
The profile, written by staff writer Rachel Syme, chronicled a year in Bajaria's life as the executive traveled the world, meeting with Netflix's development teams across multiple countries. In the profile, Bajaria explained that her ideal Netflix series is both "premium and commercial at the same time," such as "Bridgerton," which her vice president Jinny Howe refers to as "gourmet cheeseburgers." The profile sees Bajaria, in various meetings, push for the teams to scale up content, telling one group in the Latin American headquarters, "It's not a science. It's a big creative endeavor. But it's about recognizing that people like having more."
Bajaria was promoted to head of TV at Netflix after CEO Reed Hastings let former TV head Cindy Holland go in 2020. The switch in the head of TV was seen as indicative of a shift in Netflix's overall strategy in making television, as the streamer increasingly focused on developing more commercial content at greater volumes instead of developing critically acclaimed, creator-focused series.
An anonymous source in the story, credited as a former executive, said the choice was "not shocking" from a financial perspective, adding, "Some of Cindy's shows were tough. People made them for prestige, and for their friends." Sarandos himself was interviewed for the story, where he said Netflix's goal was to be "equal parts HBO and FX and AMC and Lifetime and Bravo and E! and Comedy Central," and said that Netflix's aggressive pursuit of growth means they couldn't afford to be "bottlenecked behind one sensibility."
The profile also details Bajaria's career background, as someone who came to Netflix as a veteran of CBS, where she led the movies-and-miniseries department for years, and paints a picture of her as a decisive executive focused on constant growth. One particularly blunt quote from an anonymous source (credited as a colleague to Bajaria) says that she owes her success to the fact that she's not "an intellectual."
"The thing is, she's not an intellectual. She's smart. There's a difference," the anonymous source said in the profile. "She's bold, and that's what it takes. I don't have that gene, and that's why my career only went so far. You need to be able to say yes and keep forging ahead."

Clark: Many companies will soon be led by supply chain or technology professionals
May 8, 2019 By Joe McAdory
Amazon continues to explore new ways to deliver the most fulfilling – and fastest – customer experiences. Whether it's utilizing big data to forecast customer demand and stock fulfillment centers, improving consumer e-commerce experiences, perfecting cloud computing, digitizing inventory down to the smallest package, or exploring creative means to deliver products, the online retail giant is ever changing to build for customers.
"It used to be whoever gives the best Power Point presentation or is the best marketer would deliver the best results," said Dave Clark, Senior Vice President for Global Operations at Amazon, which reported $233.8 billion in revenue in 2018. "But that model is going away and you are going to see more and more people from supply chain management programs and computer science programs become the future of leadership."
Clark (pictured with Harbert College Dean and Wells Fargo Professor Annette L. Ranft) stressed that if business and technology aren't continuously and fundamentally improved, it's difficult to be nimble enough to make the necessary, quick decisions. The companies that do, win.
Clark was among the speakers Thursday, May 2, to address roughly 200 industry professionals at Fusion, Harbert College's annual Supply Chain Management Symposium. Harbert College's Supply Chain Management program is ranked No. 3 nationwide by Gartner.
The event draws industry leaders from across the spectrum of supply chain to share knowledge and expertise with colleagues. This year's symposium explored the digital transformation and automation in supply chain.
Clark, a 1996 Auburn education graduate, stressed that many of the world's companies will soon be led by supply chain or technology professionals, so now is a perfect time to pursue the talent – or choose to field as a career.
"Supply chain is such an amazing field today," said Clark, who described his job at Amazon as everything from getting the inventory into our network to getting packages to your door. "It's moved from being a back office procurement-oriented role where people think about buying transportation services to really being the engine of growth for so many companies and industries. It's really a technology and leadership field today. It's a special group of people who can combine both technology and people together to build great products for their companies and their customers.
"You're starting to see more and more supply chain leaders move into the highest levels of leadership. I think that's going to be a trend you will see in the future and, for students thinking about a program like this, it's probably the best time in the history of supply chain to enter the field. At Amazon, our operations are all about integrating more than a half-million people around the world with technology, standardized processes and people to fuel fast, free shipping."
Other industry professionals sharing their expertise included Reid Dove, CEO at AAA Cooper Transportation, Tracy Rosser, former Senior Vice President of Transportation at Wal-Mart, Robin Baggs, Director of Transportation at The Home Depot, Chris Brasher, Head of Operations at Regions Financial, and Rick Salantrini, President of Delta Flight Products.
"The symposium is certainly a credibility-builder for our program," said Brian Gibson (above), Wilson Family Professor of Supply Chain Management at the Harbert College and Director of the Center for Supply Chain Innovation at Auburn University. "It's an opportunity to deliver a high-caliber program with great presenters, provide networking opportunities with our students and faculty, and raise awareness of the great work that we are doing at Auburn."

Tanzanian government to move offices to Dodoma
Tanzanian government to move from Dar es Salaam to country's capital.
Tanzanian premier Kassim Majaliwa has confirmed that government offices will move from Dar es Salaam to the capital Dodoma by September, with parliamentary standing committee meetings beginning in Dodoma on 22 August.
The government's move to Dodoma was first proposed in 1973 by the nation's founding president Julius Nyerere, who switched the capital from Dar es Salaam to the centrally-located Dodoma. Relocation started in the 1980s and should have been completed by 2005.
However the relocation has been delayed for over four decades for various reasons including lack of funds and poor infrastucture around Dodoma. At present only Tanzania's parliament is located there.
Prime minister Majaliwa's confirmation of the government's move came after the nation's president John Magufuli pledged that the seat of the government would move to Dodoma within five years of his presidential term, which ends in 2020.
Providers of state utilities such as water, electricity and telecommunications quickly followed suit, announcing plans to upgrade and expand their services in the Dodoma region within 100 days.
The country's Capital Development Authority (CDA) has estimated the cost of moving the government seat from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma at about $500 million.

WFTU on the 200 years since the birth of Karl Marx
On 5th May 1818 the great founder of the scientific world view of the working class Karl Marx was born in Trier of Prussia. His theoretical work and his action paved the way to the world working class to realize its historical role and to struggle for the end of the exploitation.
By analyzing the laws of the capitalist mode of production in his works like the Critique of Political Economy (1859) and the Capital (1867), he proved that capitalism is incompatible with the workers prosperity and an obstacle to social development. He also highlighted the necessity of the class oriented struggle of the masses for the establishment of the socialist society.
Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, played a key role in the foundation of the International Workingmen's Association (the first International) in 1864 in London, by writing its first "Declaration" and a series of its documents. Τhe International Workingmen's Association, which was the predecessor of the World Federation of Trade Unions, united the labor movements of various countries under a joint proletarian fight and Karl Marx vigorously fought for the continuation of its militant trajectory.
Nowadays that the contradictions and rivalries among the monopolies are exacerbating, provoking wars and misery to the peoples, the work of Karl Marx will always be a polyvalent weapon in the hands of workers and ordinary people all over the world in their everyday struggle for their working and social rights and for the abolition of exploitation of man by man.

Fantasy Football Librarian: What's the circumference of your thigh, please?
Earlier this week I was chatting with a friend who is going to represent the FF Librarian in an "experts" league this fall (yes, I'm eating up the fact that the FFL is part of not just one but two expert leagues this fall...even if they are self-defined as expert leagues...), and he mentioned that a guy he knows has developed a correlation between a running back's performance and the circumference of that RB's thigh. Oh yeah, baby - leg mass = ranking metric. I thought I'd heard of a lot of crazy stuff out there to help narrow down draft rankings, but this was a new one. The guys over at Sports Data Hub are getting ready to wow us all with a brand new stats world this summer, and now I'm hoping that SDH might include thigh circumference as one of their many tools for analysis. Kidding. But only a little.
Someone recently asked if I could provide some more links to rankings by tiers. I'll try to get as many tier links up over the next few weeks, but for those of you who are new to tiers, read up on Sports Data Hub's Tiering it Up.
KFFL ranks by tiers - here's a link to their non-PPR ranking, but they have several different types of rankings for different scoring system, so definitely take a look around their various rankings.
Check out Yahoo's take on Brady and why it might not be worthing snagging Brady quite so early. There's a lot of quality QB info in that article actually, so I recommend checking it out. From what I've seen in my mock drafts, this is going to be an interesting QB year.
Football Burrito has looked at far more draft magazines than I will likely ever get my hands on and has done a quick and dirty grading of each one in Fantasy football magazine reviews. The grand winner from the burrito guy's analysis is Fanball.
Smitty from FFXtreme knows how to provide some of the best FF content out there and new this year (I think?) will be Fantasy Football Stock Market - check it out to see whose stock is on the rise or fall.
I'll try to keep the posting up through the holiday weekend but I plan to spend a lot of time doing very little. In addition to my regular fantasy football information overload, I'll also be taking up the following activities this weekend: vast blueberry consumption, advanced sunburn avoidance techniques to escape being the bridesmaid with odd burn lines at my upcoming summer weddings, staring at my small new laptop with adoration every hour on the hour, responding only to the name Professor (I just started a new job at the library this week, hence the new laptop and new job title), and potentially even Independence Day parade attendance (which could directly conflict with the sunburn avoidance situation). In between it all, I'll try to update the blog regularly.
I should be a first round draft pick then.
Thigh measurements....no problem :) If you've got the data we can load it and make it available for analysis.

Биография

Сын режиссёра-документалиста Ивана Твердовского.

В 2011 году закончил ВГИК (экспериментальную мастерскую режиссуры под руководством Алексея Учителя).

Занимался живописью в Школе акварели Сергея Андрияки.

С 2012 года по 2015 год — куратор короткометражной программы в рамках ММКФ.

Свой первый приз «Кинотавра» Иван получил, ещё будучи студентом режиссёрской мастерской Алексея Учителя во ВГИКе. В 2010-м жюри конкурса короткого метра отметило его работу «Словно жду автобуса» дипломом «за смелую авторскую работу и ярко рассказанную историю». Снятый в документальной стилистике фильм был посвящен девушке из провинции, пережившей «по собственной воле» групповое изнасилование.

Его документальные фильмы стали участниками и лауреатами российских и международных кинофестивалей, среди которых национальная премия в области неигрового кино «Лавровая ветвь», фестивали «Послание к человеку», «Россия» и др.

В полнометражном кино дебютировал фильмом «Класс коррекции».

В 2014 году на кинофестивале «Кинотавр» в Сочи фильм был отмечен двумя наградами — призом жюри прокатчиков и призом за лучший дебют. Фильм получил Главный приз на Международном кинофестивале в Карловых Варах в конкурсе восточноевропейского кино «К Востоку от Запада».

Фильм «Класс коррекции» получил множество призов на различных международных и российских фестивалях.

Фильм «Класс Коррекции» был удостоен специальной премии академиков «Золотой Орёл» за 2014 год, с формулировкой «За искренность!» А в марте 2015 года победил в номинации «Открытие года» Национальной кинопремии «НИКА».

Фильм «Зоология» вошел в программу 41-го Международного кинофестиваля в Торонто. Премьера фильма прошла до этого в основном конкурсе Международного кинофестиваля в Карловых Варах, где картина была удостоена специального приза жюри.

В 2018 году Твердовский выпустил картину «Подбросы». Картина удостоена призов кинофестиваля «Кинотавр»: «за лучшую операторскую работу» Денису Аларкону Рамиресу и «за лучшую женскую роль» Анне Слю.

В 2020 году новый фильм Ивана И. Твердовского «Конференция» стал участником Венецианского кинофестиваля. Фильм был представлен в независимой программе Giornate degli Autori. Новая картина Твердовского посвящена трагедии, случившейся во время мюзикла «Норд-Ост» в 2002 году. Главные роли в фильме сыграли Наталья Павленкова, Ксения Зуева, Ян Цапник, Анна Слю, Александр Семчев. Также в фильме сыграли Филипп Авдеев и Роман Шмаков, в детстве ставшие заложниками во время этого теракта.

Цитаты
 Для меня важно, чтобы было чудо. Что в наш мир является ангел в чьем-то обличье, испытывает какие-то очень простые чувства и желания, и это делает его сильнее. У каждого из нас есть какие-то неприятные истории, которые были и о которых мы теперь вспоминаем… Это неприятно — но если бы этих историй не было, то мы были бы другими…
Мы должны поднимать важные вопросы в обществе, пытаться найти какой-то ответ. Кто-то считает это конъюнктурой — сначала он снимает про детей, которые себя душат, потом про инвалидов, сейчас про ДТП — но мне кажется, это правильно. Если хотя бы в одном человеке что-то изменится после просмотра фильма, это уже очень круто. Тем более, что мы не плакаты-агитки делаем, а говорим о довольно тонких вещах, которые всех объединяют.

By Bob Weaver
Jeff Truman, an elderly man who lived on Rowels Run near the Village of Hur, was said to have a talking crow. The oldsters on my grandfather McCoy's porch said Jeff had split the crows tongue to allow it to speak proficiently.
Jeff, who never married, was born after the Civil War and lived with a number of families in the Hur-West Fork area, eventually building a one-room shack along the country road where he lived out his days, passing in the early 1940s at about 80.
Jeffs's crow, unlike most taking birds in the country, was not taught profanity, but taught to ask passing folks, "Where ya goin'?"
Going up and down Rowels Run, at the time, the answer would like be goin' to Hur, Mt. Zion or Grantsville.
The talking crow tale related to the splitting of the tongue was likely a practice in early America, but the surgery, according to modern day sources, did not help the crow to speak.
Crows are among the bird worlds smartest creatures, very social (at least with each other) and can learn to mimic. A number of talking crows can be found on YouTube.
Jeff moved around a lot, being counted in the census as a hired hand.
In 1900, Thomas Jeff Truman was living at Altizer with well-known Civil War soldier George Gibson and his wife Elizabeth Starcher Gibson. He was 27. In 1910 he was living with Phillip Starcher at Hur, a descendant of Calhoun original Phillip Starcher. In 1920 he was living with Ulysses Grant Adams on Rowels Run, as a hired hand.
It is fascinating to consider how Jeff survived, although the answer is simple - growing, hunting, trapping and some farm labor wages.
William "Tap" Kerby of Hur says Jeff often trapped, using deadfalls, and sold Christmas cards and Rosebud salve on the side.
Up through the 1950s, rural families bought their home liniments, salves and household products from traveling salespeople, the Rawleigh or Raleigh men who came a'callin.
The long-time J. R. Watkins and W.T. Rawleigh home product companies are still in business with a reformed marketing plan.
Jeff had a next door neighbor, Willie Little, whose life was similar. In his early days, he stayed with area families, a 'neer do well," but later purchased a small hillside farm on Rowels Run.
Willie's primary mode of transportation was a donkey, one such animal suffering his final days in the woods below my abode. Willie rode the donkey, usually off the road, and it fell into a sinkhole with Willie trapped underneath.
Yelling for help, my mother responded with her sister, prying the donkey off Willie with some poles. Willie seemed to be "stoved up." I was about four, witnessing the rescue and then the shooting of the donkey, whose legs were broken. Willie died in 1956 at age 70.
Willie always said, "I mind my own business."
Neither Jeff nor Willie worried about paying their utility bills or income taxes.
They didn't have any.

The company is optimistic regarding the adoption of ServiceHub. Management is also elated on the rapid adoption witnessed by newly introduced Marketing Hub Starter. The company also announced addition of new email features and other updates to the latest Marketing Hub product at INBOUND.
HubSpot ended the reported quarter with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $592.3million compared with $561.3 million recorded at the end of the previous quarter.
HubSpot forecasts revenues in the range of $146.5-$147.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, whose mid-point of $147 million is below the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of approximately $146.5 million.
Moreover, HubSpot anticipates non-GAAP net income per share to be in the range of 23-25 cents, whose mid-point of 24 cents is below the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of 25 cents.
For full-year 2019, HubSpot projects revenues to come in the range of $648-$652 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $637.1 million.
Non-GAAP net income per share is anticipated in the range of $1.08-$1.16 per share, whose mid-point of $1.20 is below the current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the period of $1.12.

Dimensioned, the Rust library that I have written for compile-time dimensional analysis, has just reached version 0.6.0! This version change indicates a full rewrite of the library, and I think that it has made it much more usable.
I first started this crate before Rust had hit 1.0, and I fairly quickly realized that what I wanted was not possible. With the advent of associated types, it became possible, and two years ago I first announced its existence. It was really a proof of concept at that point; it was lacking in ergonomics and some pretty important features.
Today, I am excited to report that I believe it is more than a proof of concept, and is ready to be used.
No longer do we need a nightly compiler! Dimensioned now works fine on Rust stable, so long as it is at least version 1.15.
Before, units were expressed by parametrizing a Dim struct. That struct is gone, which brings a couple benefits. The first is ergonomics; a meter was expressed as Dim<Meter, V> in past verions, and now it is Meter<V>. The second benefit is in Rust's orphan rules; if you create a unit system, you now create the outermost struct, and so have full control over what you can implement for it.
We no longer depend on std! Use dimensioned wherever you desire!
Thanks to type macros, derived units can now be defined without a build script or the extremely clunky syntax that was necessary before.
Unit systems! We have added unit systems and definitions for many derived units and constants. They are still incomplete, though, and an area where dimensioned should improve on soon.
If you have some time, check out the documentation, or the readme. I have tried to make these documents as clear and comprehensive as possible, but I am sure that I have failed in at least some ways.
Please feel free to submit an issue on GitHub or leave a comment on reddit or on the Rust user's forum.

Wildlife Conservation in North America May Not Be Science-Based After All
A News Environment — 07 March 2018
A study led by recent SFU PhD alumnus Kyle Artelle has unveiled new findings that challenge the widespread assumption that wildlife management in North America is science-based. He conducted the study with SFU researchers John Reynolds and Jessica Walsh, as well as researchers from other institutions.
In the study, published by AAAS Open Access journal Science Advances, the researchers compiled and analyzed all of the publicly available documents describing 667 hunt management systems. These included 27 species groups across 62 U.S. states and Canadian provinces. They also identified four hallmarks that provide rigour to science-based management: clear objectives, use of evidence, transparency and external review.
After applying these hallmarks to the hunt management systems, they found that 60 per cent of them featured fewer than half of the indicator criteria. In addition, some of the most basic assumptions of scientific management were almost entirely absent.
For example, only nine per cent of management systems had an explanation for how quotas were set. Similarly, less than 10 per cent of management systems underwent any form of review, including internal reviews, with fewer than six per cent subjected to external review.
These and other findings in the study raised doubts for the researchers about whether North American wildlife management can accurately be described as science-based.
"The key to honest discussions about wildlife management and conservation is clarity about where the science begins and ends," says Artelle, who is now a biologist with Raincoast Conservation Foundation and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Victoria.
"Our approach provides a straightforward litmus test for science-based claims."
These findings come at a time of heightened controversy in wildlife management, where contentious policy is often defended by agencies claiming adherence to science-based approaches.
"We are not saying that wildlife hunting decisions should be based only on science, as there can be important social and economic considerations," says SFU biological sciences professor John Reynolds. "But the extent to which these dimensions influence management decisions should be clearly articulated alongside claims of scientific rigour."
The researchers note that claims of science-based management would, however, be supported if management defined clear objectives, used evidence to inform decisions, was transparent with the public about all factors contributing to decisions, and subjected plans and approaches to external review.


Wine AdvocateI had this wine twice over a period of thirty days, rating it an astounding 99 and 98 points. A monumental California Cabernet Sauvignon, it appears to have approached its plateau of maturity but should easily last for 20-25 more years. There is no rust, amber, or brown to the saturated dark purple color. The spectacular, huge, Mouton-Rothschild-like nose of mint, cassis, lead pencil, and toast is remarkably youthful. Staggeringly concentrated, this full-bodied, super-rich wine possesses moderate tannin, fresh, lively acidity, and a blockbuster, rich, fleshy finish. This is a monumental effort!
Wine SpectatorDeep garnet, openly spicy, with fresh mint, currant, cedar and anise flavors that are rich and concentrated, firm and complex. this is aging well, though a shade past its prime, finishing with a trace of oxidation and hint of nuttiness. Nonetheless, still alive and well; just mature. Based on this bottle, there's no point in waiting.--California Cabernet '74/'84/'94 retrospective. Drink now. 4,543 cases made.
