Balance between price, performance and aesthetic.
And as far as aio coolers... I think they are always needed... At least for the builds I do. If I'm not running a custom loop I'll aio it no matter what cpu in use... They are not too much money, keep this cool and quiet!! Good job!
A custom loop would be awesome but it seems to get expensive fast! Delidding scares the hell out of me I've never done it before.
Oh cool, I've never considered delidding so I didn't even know they had tools for assistance. Not a bad idea for practice, I assume others are just using vices in lieu. How much centigrade can one actually save from delidding?
I like it. Good aesthetics.
Nice!! What are your cpu and gpu temps like idle and under load? I'm looking into getting this case but have read some reviews that it doesn't have great airflow and temps are higher than normal.
I haven't had time to install an OS yet to play with any PWM control but straight after setup in UEFI I remember the CPU around 45C which was a little higher than I was expecting. Granted different AIOs/fans/cases/etc I've seen other users idling ~37C on the same CPU but that might involve some tuning.
Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't had any time to do anything but turn it on so far (sad I know). I don't expect the greatest benchmarks for gaming but it will primarily be a workstation for my homelab - VMs, development, research, etc.
Okay no problem, it will definitely serve as a good workstation for a few years, thanks for the quick response.
If I do get any game benchmarks I'll add it if I remember!
Looks great! but I agree with Dylan2749, for this price point you could easily be running atleast an i5 with a GTX 1080. To each his/her own but for me I would have gone with a cheaper case, fans, and SSDs and put the money saved into the CPU and GPU where you will really feel it. For the money it's hard to beat the Fractal Meshify C (often on sale for $80) and then you can go with an excellent air cooler like the Dark ROck Pro 4 for $80.
The RX470 is old and left other from another build so nothing out of pocket for it on this build. But now I'm looking to Nvidia cards as AMD isn't supporting one of my use cases very well (hashcat on linux, any news on 1180s yet?). The i3 got the foot in the door of 8th gen and when funds are willing the cooling will be there already for upgrades.
The two SSDs were also left over from my last machine. I use two separate drives: one for / and one for /home.
Do you think the LL corsair fans would do okay on the 280 evga rad?
As long as the fan motors and the LEDs get their own different power inputs. I mention that because the EVGA 3 pin header from the pump that connects to the cpu fan header on the motherboard provides power to the pump and to the fan motors connected to it (opposed to some pumps that pull more power from a SATA connector) and depending on the motherboard cpu fan headers can have different power output limits. I know the LLs have two different cables: 1 for fan motor and 1 for LEDs. So I would make sure the lighting node pro is powering the LEDs. Also be sure to get the LL140s as the EVGA 280 has a 280mm x 140mm rad.
Do you think the 280 evga is really that much better than their 240 rad?
Honestly I wouldn't know, I got the 280 because the case could fit it (it looks really good through the top glass without any gaps from a smaller rad) and to hopefully future proof it a bit.
I agree it does look really good! The price difference between the 240 and 280 is minimal it seems.
I am thinking of using the same motherboard as you for my own build. However, I would like to know how you have LED fans because I was under the impression that the motherboard didn't have any RGB headers.
Correct there are no RGB headers, the ML140 fans have a solid white LED in them so they don't do RGB and I've put two magnetic RGB strips top and bottom that are controlled by remote and powered by SATA connector (those are in the parts list).
Could you do 6x 140mm fans (top with aio, front, bottom)? I'm planning on buying this case and was going to get 6x 120 because I couldn't find anyone with a decked out 140mm setup but it looks like there's plenty of space!
You could do 6 of either 120 or 140 no problem! I didn't feel like purchasing six at the time so 4 it is for now.
wouldn't it have been cheaper to get one SSD with1 Terabyte? It would have allowed for either a slightly better cpu or gpu.
I'm running Arch Linux (currently). I have / on one drive and /home on the other for easier data migration to different operating systems etc..
Awesome build! Great cable management. I just finished mine with a very similar look. I actually saw yours before I started mine and stole some of your ideas like the 280 cooler so there are no gaps on top.
Awesome, let's see it! Indeed 280s are a must.
But they have a z370 mobo so the AIO will come in handy when they get a i5 or i7 K cpu.
Agreed, AIO isn't necessary but it leaves room for expansion. I had the rx470 left over from a server for hash research at the time that I swapped for a dual 10Gbe SFP+ card (only mITX). As for the Dominators- I just could not not get them!
Ha I was waiting for that comment! Trust me I am a Corsair fanboy, however I worry about the recent QA on their AIOs. I love the look of the H100i V2s but I read too many bad reviews about pump failures within 5-6 months, corrosion in lines, I don't know though! Have you had good luck with Corsair AIOs?
yeah Im running a (refurbished mind you) corsair h100i v2 in my media center PC which used to run 24/7 (no longer the case) with no issues cooling a not so powerful i3. So sure i recommend them based on my limited experience but not sure about their new ones like the Pro versions. I always thought based on my research that the older v2 is a great AIO and well regarded though. EVGA is also a solid performer and uses a newer asetek design so I wouldn't change it but that's just me.
Right on, I'm glad it's working out for ya, it's no doubt the best looking AIO imo. Maybe when the time comes for a stronger CPU I'll take another look at Cosair's offerings.
And the 280mm radiator fits ok in the top? If so that's good news since I want this case for my next build.
Yep fits perfect. It fills the space better than 240mm rads and 120mm fans.
That's awesome. Thanks for the info!
I would say it depends on the motherboard. The system panel header on my board is on the south/bottom of my board. While the pins themselves are out of the way, when they are connected it doesn't leave me room for bottom 140s by maybe 3-5mm or so due to the plastic shields on the case panel wire connectors. I suppose some delicate modding would suffice.
Yeah I'm getting a micro-atx board. I went ahead and got 6 140mm fans. I'm sure I'll be able to make it fit! I'll be building in the crystal 280x on Christmas.


I really loved the concept for this blog. What I Shed Today is a daily journal of decluttering of one blogger's home and life. I know myself that it is really easy to collect items in the house and really have no reason for holding on to them. Sometimes I think I have some creative reason for keeping one old boot, a broken pot, those tables that I've had in the storage room for years. But really, just getting rid of the clutter, one day and a time is so freeing!
I really like how this blogger has sectioned off how to dispose of things, other than just tossing them in the dumpster.
So I am thrilled to honor this blogger with our Blogger of the Week award!
* screams and giggles * Yes.. it is the Fir Fliles we are dancing with today.. great catch!
And this offers more food for thought for our joint post, too, shall get back to that with some inspiration from What I Shed Today, thanks!
Crysta, I am touched and grateful! Here's to living more simply so we can live more creatively!
: ) What a great way to think of it!

P 123 Suicide and the Church: A Pastoral Theology
It used to be technically illegal to use a Church of England service for the funeral of someone who commits suicide. This indicates the legacy of poor pastoral practice, and the accompanying suspicion of the church, in this area. However, as a result of his work on this study the author proposed a Private Members Motion in the Church of England's General Synod to modify the offending canon which passed with a huge majority.
This profound and helpful study explores the reasons for this, the pastoral needs and opportunities, and makes use of the latest thinking on suicide to advocate key changes to practice. It includes a wealth of invaluable resources.

I'm an independent art advisor & project manager based in NYC. I studied Fine Art, with a focus in printmaking, at Wellesley College and worked with Zarina Hashmi, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, Bodhi Art, and Burney Morgan Art Advisory prior to launching my own advisory firm, Sarah Burney Art Advisory. I specialize in South Asian and Middle Eastern contemporary art, emerging NYC artists and contemporary printmaking. It's an odd combination I know, but it's the very normal result of my upbringing (Pakistani, born in America, but raised in Kuwait), + my education + my experiences working in nyc.

A new kind of Pokémon trading card game, perhaps?
There's nothing quite like a mysterious patent to get chins wagging and brains ticking over. And this latest one from Nintendo is a right head scratcher. The patent, which was filed earlier this month to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, present a set of collectible trading cards with in-built NFC functionality (making them, in theory, function much like a traditional amiibo).
So what could it all mean? This isn't the first time Nintendo has used NFC in card form - Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer used a set of collectible cards that included such functionality, so could this be a prelude to a similar set in 2018? Pokémon remains a big player in the CCG space, so there's always the possibility that we could see Nintendo riff on that powerful licence.
My bet would be a new Smash range but in card form. Less manufacturing costs on figures and can be sold in blind packs.
Pokemon RPG tie-in... has to be... can you imagine the sales?! Nintendo are not stupid.
I think these will just replace amiibo. Said the same when the animal crossing ones hit, just added give it a couple years. Well, it's been a couple years. A lot of stores don't like the shelf space being taken up, and have pushed all these types of toys to life, off to corners and endcaps. But boxes of card packs can fit anywhere, and in existing displays with little real estate taken up.
Those design drawings are weird.
Althought it has the dice and rock-paper-scissors of the AC cards..maybe they just forgot to patent them before?
I've thought that having amiibo Pokemon TCG cards would be awesome for a while now. It would allow for card games to be played through the switch with visual effects and everything. Would also allow for you to play with people online, which would be crazy cool.
This would probably be the only way Pokemon could be properly shown through amiibo as here are so many of them.
Another Animal Crossing cards ??
Maybe some kind of marriage between traditional TCGs and digital ones like Hearthstone or MtG Online? Like you buy a booster pack, scan the cards and you have parity between your physical and digital collections.
@PhilKenSebben That's what I suspected originally as well.
I KNEW they were rushing Pokémon out for this year! Those starters look rubbish! Lol.
But in seriousness, I would think they would've made a RPG tie-in with the whole amiibo range and/or make more amiibo based games.
I have zero interest in cards, especially if they are in blind packs. I don't like paying for something when I don't know what I'm getting.
Amiibo at least had the thing of doubling as a display collectors piece.
@jump I'll bet it's the new water starter for the next Pokémon game.
The patent looks exactly like the Animal Crossing cards. But I kinda hope for Smash Cards.
I love amiibo but I hate the blind bag amiibo cards. I still want to complete my amiibo collection, but these things make it much more of a chore to complete it than it really has to be.
Intriguing. Feels like it could be a new TCG that either links up with the new Pokemon game that's in development, or the new SSB. I don't think they'll replace the Amiibo though. Whilst it's unlikely we'd see a whole new range of Amiibo for SSB, I do think we'll see any new characters added to the existing SSB Amiibo range.
Seems like a weird time to patent NFC cards after not only Animal Crossing cards but Mario Sports Superstars cards as well. Saw a few packs of the latter hanging on a hook in Target last week.
Pokemon cards makes the most sense. Those cards still sell like crazy and it always only seemed a matter of time before the cards starting getting NFC chips put into them. And with over 800 Pokemon the toys always seemed a bit ambitious.
I could see a NFC Pokemon card game playing out like PS3's Eye of Judgement, only easier w/o a camera, just scan the cards.
OMG is Animal Crossing Switch!!!
All the WiiU ports we already know, Kirby, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing and Smash 5. BOOM!! 20m Switch systems sold just like that.
@subpopz: "I have zero interest in cards, especially if they are in blind packs. I don't like paying for something when I don't know what I'm getting.
Amiibo at least had the thing of doubling as a display collectors piece."
I totally agree. I absolutely do not like blind card packs. I remember when the (Gameboy Advance) e-Reader had cards released. You could buy 1 Nes game in a pack for, I think, somewhere between $5-$20, or less. It was the complete game. If I remember correctly, the Super Mario Advance 4 packs were somewhat similar, but only 1, or 2 of those level packs were sold here in the States.
Amibo cards compatible with mobile (for acpc, feh, mkt, zelda, yokai watch, pokemon, snack world, inazuma, layton? etc.etc.etc...?
Gonna make a Beth deck.
@rjejr I believe this is literally the Animal Crossing card patent.
The Right of Priority of Foreign Application grants anyone priority who had registered a patent in a foreign country before. Nintendo was in no hurry to register this elsewhere.
Anyway, this took me no more than three minutes of googling. Journalism 101. Can't expect much these days, eh?
I think card amiibos would be alot more practical for there limited usefulness. Toys to life was a neat concept when it was new, especially when they unlocked an actual game character, but they're really just statues, not actual toys, a collection takes up alot of space and is extremely expensive. I only have 2 amiibos, blue yarn Yoshi, and an Animal Crossing amiibo. Both were on sale. I might eventually get Megaman if I can find it. Cards would be way better, because not only could they produce and sell them cheaply, but you could keep your entire collection with you in your Switch case. I don't like the idea of blind packs, though. I'm much more likely to try to collect something when I know what I'm getting. I'd probably end up looking for the ones I want on ebay.
@Octane Close, but not quite correct. This is a continuation of Nintendo's 2015 amiibo card patent. I don't have time to go over it with a fine-toothed comb, but extending the idea of amiibo cards into the TCG space does seem to be the general new thrust here.
@Octane Thanks for all the good work. Those rock-paper-scissor hand signals are too spot on to be a coincidence.
Just remembered I bought AC:aF at TRU a couple of weeks ago for $5.98 - wanted something to remember them by - so I think I own 3 of these, still haven't opened the box, been playing H:ZD and Kirby. My sons and I decided I may be the only person in the world to finish the story in both Uncharted Lost Legacy and Kirby Star Allies this weekend. H:ZD has about 30 more hours to go.
Beth is my spirit animal.
@Yosher Exacty why I gave up on cards and collect solely figures now.
Basically to my understanding its a continuation of the patent to create NFC trading cards. I will admit though i don't usually delve into patents, so I could be 100 percent wrong, I just wanted to check this one out to fact check Octane, since he was the only one saying anything about it, and i believe he is right.
There's also the Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card from the Wii U version of Pokkén Tournament.
I have wanted Pokemon Amiibo Cards since the start. But not a separate card game. Added to the cards, much like the old e-Reader Pokemon cards. It would be an AWESOME way to connect the video games and the card games. Imagine a full collab between Pokemon Switch and a new generation of the card game. The card game could remain doing it's own thing like always, but then scan certain Amiibo cards in the Switch game to unlock special NPC opponents, get mystery gifts, battle wild Pokemon with their hidden abilities instead of their normal ones, or have egg moves right from the start! Amiibo cards could serve as the new EX/Lv.X special cards in future sets, as well as the full art or secret rares. Of course having every common card be an Amiibo card would likely raise the price too much. So they could do it like the older reverse foil cards, 1 per pack that sometimes is a full art or secret rare. I could even see certain secret rare cards of shiny Pokemon letting you battle and potentially capture shiny Pokemon. Which would be wonderful for those of us who don't cheat to hack all our Pokemon Shiny.
I still don't think this is likely, but man, I would love it!
I would give anything if they reworked the Fire emblem card game into an NFC version sorta like the Eye of Judgement on PS3. Not gonna happen but I can dream.
New cards for the Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival port? They would be so much easier to carry on the go!
Nintendo just can't stop with all the lovely cardboard, can they?
is this the start of some true yugioh battles ??
This would be an interesting turn in the Pokémon TCG community. I'd rather see TCGO on Nintendo Switch over Hearthstone. Didn't think that way before, but now my boys and I collect Pokémon cards. I see way more potential behind a Pokémon game like that on Nintendo Switch. The physical cards hold way more value, and the player base seems friendlier compared to Hearthstone.

Understanding and Owning Our Privilege
If we think of our potential as a classroom, it's clear that students sitting toward the front are naturally positioned closer to their goals, and closer to success.
Mike Robbins, Author and Motivational Speaker
Panitanphoto/ Shutterstock
We all have privilege. Some of us, like me as a straight, white, affluent, American man, have more than others. However, for a number of reasons, many of us have a hard time acknowledging and owning our privilege. It has become almost a slur, or even an outright attack to be called "privileged." In our current social and political climate, there has been a lot of important discussion about white privilege and male privilege specifically.
A simple Google search of the word privilege comes back with this definition: "A special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group." The synonyms listed are advantage, right, benefit, prerogative, entitlement, birthright, and due.
In a larger culture that aspires to values such as hard work, fairness, opportunity, and meritocracy—and given some of the societal dynamics at play in recent years— it's understandable that privilege can be seen in such a negative light and why many of us have a hard time owning our privilege. In some cases, we even argue that we don't or try to hide that we do.
However, the bigger issue is being able to realize that we're not all starting at the same place and it's not a level playing field. Some of us simply have advantages that others don't, and in many cases there's not much we can do about them—they're literally based on where we were born and what we look like. But it's important to be able to see that these things exist and to try to understand the impact they have on us and others, all the way around.
A few years ago, a high school teacher posted anonymously on a site called Bored Panda about an important lesson on privilege he shared with his students. He wrote:
"I place a trash can in the front of the room, and have my students take out a piece of paper and crumble it into a ball. I then ask them to try to shoot their paper ball into the trash can from where they're seated. I explain to them first that they as a class represent the country's population, and that the trash can represents America's upper class. Being that we live in the "land of opportunity," everyone will be given the chance to "make it big" and become wealthy by throwing their paper ball into the trash can. Whoever successfully shoots their ball into the trash has made it to the upper class.
Most likely, my students sitting all the way in the back of the classroom will start complaining, saying that their peers sitting in the front have an unfair advantage. I use this opportunity to make the perfect segue into talking about privilege and inequality. The closer you are to the trash can, the better odds you have, the more privilege you have. It's not impossible for those in the back to also shoot their paper balls into the trash can, but it's a lot harder for them.
I make a point to explain that the students sitting in the front row were probably unaware of their privilege initially as they only saw the 10 feet between themselves and their goal. I also point out that the people who were complaining were the students sitting in the back. I wrap up the lesson by stating that education is also a privilege, and that my students are capable of using that privilege in order to advocate for those who are behind them."
I love this simple yet powerful example of privilege. With respect to diversity, inclusion, and belonging, our privilege often gets in our way of noticing, seeing, and understanding certain things, as well as our willingness to engage and take action to make necessary adjustments and changes.
In her Netflix special The Call to Courage, Dr. Brene Brown says, "To not have the conversations (about inclusivity, equity, and diversity) because they make you uncomfortable is the definition of privilege."
One of the realities of being in a dominant or majority group of any kind is that often we aren't necessarily forced to think about, talk about, or address these issues. And because they can be scary, difficult, and messy to deal with, we either choose to opt out or we simply don't pay attention.
More deeply and even scarier to admit is that sometimes we don't want to acknowledge or let go of our privilege because we're worried about losing it, and afraid of what increased access and opportunity for others might mean to our own ability to succeed.
Our privilege itself and then the denial of the privilege we have are both things that make having authentic conversations about diversity difficult and make it challenging for us to do what needs to be done to create environments of real inclusion.
However, by understanding our privilege more deeply and owning it, without blame, shame, or judgment, we can genuinely address some of these complex issues and move towards creating an environment within our team and company (and society at large) where everyone has a true sense of belonging.

I've just finished manually patching from 2.0.11 to 2.0.12 (because of so many mods, etc) and things seem fine. I intend to patch my way to 2.0.15. I have two questions before I commence the manual edits for 2.0.13 and beyond.
1.) When I reach 2.0.15 is it necessary to update the database, or have there been no table changes from 2.0.11 to 2.0.15?
2.) (This is something I've seen in an upcoming .xml file): If a particular "find string" is only called for once in a file, but a search for it reveals that it occurs more than once in the file (and with nothing around it that clearly defines which string is wanted) is the rule of thumb to only edit the first string encountered in the file and leave the other matching lines of text as they are, with no edit?
There are no table changes in anything between 2.0.11 and 2.0.15.

Latinos are sorely underrepresented in clinical research and the healthcare workforce, said a minority health leader.
Dr. Eliseo Perez-Stable, director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, called this issue a "crisis" during the recent National Hispanic Medical Association conference in March 2018, Medpage Today reports. He also covered these issuesat UT Health San Antonio's Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos in February 2018.
Latinos face many health disparities in cancer. They tend to have low access to healthy food, physical activity, and social support services, according to Salud America! research.
Yet they don't often join clinical trials, Perez-Stable said.
"There hasn't been a single [prostate] screening trial including a significant number of Latinos or blacks … yet it impacts our practice and we have no data to know if it works in this population," Perez-Stable said.
He told Medpage Today we need better data and multi-level interventions involving minorities.
The number of Latino doctors declined 22% over the past 30 years. Yet the Latino population rose 243% in the same span, according to a recent study.
This may not change anytime soon, either, Perez-Stable said.
He cited data that only 5% of U.S. medical school grads were Latino and 5.5% were African American.
"Only about 7% of all NIH 'R01' grants are awarded to African-American or Latino primary investigators," Perez-Stable said, according to Medpage Today.
Fortunately, several programs exist to encourage Latinos to seek doctoral degrees.
That includes Éxito! Latino Cancer Research Leadership Training, a program of the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, the team behind Salud America!
Éxito! offers an annual summer institute to increase the number of master's-degree-level Latinos who pursue a doctoral degree. It also has ongoing networking opportunities, and a resource guide for Latinos to apply to and complete a doctoral program.
In California, a new law is expected to allow students without papers pursuing medical professions to apply for state scholarships and loan forgiveness programs.
"If we are going to properly serve our current and future patient base, we must begin to develop a true pipeline to bring in Latino physicians and health professionals to meet this growing need," Dr. Jose Arevalo of Latino Physicians of California recently told California Healthline.

A Slightly More Serious Case for Candidate Biden
By Stephen Green Aug 04, 2015 7:43 AM ET
Vice President Joe Biden at the Bobrick Washroom Equipment Factory in Los Angeles, describing to workers there his favorite bowel movement.
By the numbers, from Noah Rothman:
An Economist/YouGov survey released this spring revealed that Biden's favorability rating among black voters is comparable to Clintons (46 percent describe their feelings toward the vice president as "very favorable" compared with 45 percent who say the same for Biden.
That same survey found Biden is viewed favorably by 42 percent of women compared with Clinton's 55 percent, but Clinton has seen her appeal toward women crater in the intervening months. YouGov's latest survey, released last week, shows Clinton's favorably among women collapsing to 45 percent while another 45 percent view her negatively. Whereas 52 percent of voters age 18 – 29 viewed Clinton favorably in the spring, only 40 percent feel the same today. Just 7 percent of younger voters described their views toward Clinton as "very favorable."
Considering the fact that the GOP nominee is almost certain to be younger than Clinton on Election Day, the Democrats' "coolness deficit" is going to be especially acute. The party that has spent the better part of the last decade manufacturing a celebrity cult of personality around Barack Obama is on the verge of an identity crisis perhaps best typified by the tortured liberal effort turn the "notorious" octogenarian Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg into a rock star. But unlike Hillary Clinton, who never fails to project coldness and insincerity, Joe Biden is a natural retail campaigner and a figure that effortlessly connects with his audience.
The best argument in favor of a Biden run is watching Hillary go into Permanent Eye Roll mode.

8 Things Hawaiʻi Companies Should Know About Hiring Interns
By Krista Rados | Hawaii Business Magazine
How to start a program, paid vs. unpaid interns, college students vs. high schoolers, and more. Plus five tips for students.
Illustration: Getty Images
1. Starting a Program
Begin by developing relationships with the local schools where the most suitable candidates are studying.
For Terri Stephens, manager of learning and development at First Insurance Co. of Hawaii, that means developing long-term relationships with local business colleges such as UH Mānoa's Shidler College of Business.
She advises employers who are interested in starting an internship program to "reach out and just start participating in the different events happening on campus."
The National Association of Colleges and Employers' 2017 Internship and Co-op Report says employers found about half of their interns from open applications and about 40% directly from contacts at college career centers. About 10% came from faculty contacts.
The report also says employers began recruiting for interns an average of eight months before the program's start date.
2. Recruitment
Stephens has worked directly with FICOH interns since 2007 and guides them through rotations with professionals in various company departments. She also assigns them research projects to present to some of the company's higher-ups at the end of the semester.
"A lot of businesses use internships solely as a recruitment tool, but that is not really a focal point for us. What we are really trying to do is help educate students on the industry, showcase the different opportunities that exist, and then truly hope that something resonates with them and they maybe choose to consider us as a career path once they graduate."
The semester-long internships at FICOH allow students to see if an insurance career is something they want to pursue. Stephens says internships actually save FICOH time and money because the company is less likely to hire young people who later find out they don't want to be in insurance. "My hope with the internship program is to get students into our industry, and for them to fall in love with it," Stephens says.
3. Paid vs. Unpaid Interns
The website of the national Society for Human Resource Management, or SHRM, makes clear: "The principal legal issue with internships is whether the organization must pay the intern. For private-sector employers in the U.S., the answer is almost always yes.
"Generally, the intern should be paid at least minimum wage as well as overtime. … Public-sector employers and nonprofit organizations, however, are given greater latitude in determining whether to pay interns anything at all."
The exceptions to the paid intern requirement are set out by the federal Department of Labor: A crucial step is making absolutely clear in the formal offer letter that there is no compensation for the internship and no promise of a job afterward.
The department also makes clear that the unpaid intern's assigned work "complements, rather than displaces, the work of paid employees," and "provides training that would be similar to that given in an educational environment," such as a classroom.
Here is a link to a Department of Labor fact sheet that spells out the seven factors that determine whether an intern can be unpaid.
4. College vs. High School Students
Steve Petranik, editor of Hawaii Business Magazine, has worked with interns for most of his 40 years in news media. He offers a simple rule for deciding whether a college student or a high schooler would be suitable for an internship.
"What job or career is the intern training for? When our company hires a full-time reporter, we require candidates to have a four-year college degree," he says.
"So our reporting interns have to be college students closing in on their four-year degree. Otherwise they are not ready to learn the things that our internship program will teach them. Even the best high schoolers are just not ready. I know from sad experience that high school interns waste their time and ours."
Petranik suggests that if the internship is aligned with a job or career that requires a high school diploma plus maybe an associate degree or apprenticeship, then junior and senior high schoolers might be good internship candidates.
5. Steppingstones
The local nonprofit ClimbHI and the ClimbHI Bridge are local programs that offer many insights into the working world, even if that doesn't usually mean a full internship.
"Every business can help or wants to help do something for the youth, it's just not always to the extent of an internship," says Julie Morikawa, ClimbHI's executive director.
"Internships are one piece, but there's a whole bigger world out there and if we only focused on internships, maybe five students would have had opportunities for exposure. But we built this whole tool where thousands of students are getting exposure that never existed before."
ClimbHI has already exposed 12,000 students to career opportunities in the tourism industry through conventions, guest speakers and day visits. And the ClimbHI Bridge connects teachers and public schools with local businesses and nonprofits that provide class speakers, curriculum advice, project-based learning and other insights into the working world.
"The whole philosophy behind it is while they're in classes, teachers can set up all of these different types of exposure opportunities to help them find and uncover what it is that they need, and it doesn't only need to come in the form of an internship. It can be a speaker coming in and addressing a group for half an hour or a career fair that they're attending," Morikawa says.
Businesses that make those early connections with high schoolers might find them to be excellent internship candidates after further education and training. If you are a businessperson and want to partner with ClimbHI or the ClimbHI Bridge, email info@climbhi.org.
Faustino Dagdag is an instructor in the management program at Leeward Community College and past president of the Hawai'i chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management. He also helps students and employers with the technical side of internships.
"I really emphasize that interns should have a scheduled curriculum, but also be very mindful that the experience is worth a thousand words," Dagdag says.
Not only is time management a prerequisite for any real job but creating a schedule for your interns can ensure they stay on task and know what is expected of them, he says.
"When I coach companies to do internships, I have them develop a curriculum of what they would want that student to know if they were to become a future employee. And that isn't 'getting coffee' or 'sitting in the meeting.' "
7. Assign Team Projects
"The grouping of the interns together is really important," Stephens says, which is why FICOH assigns its interns to team projects. "It's very synergistic because they learn from one another, and they also feed off of the questions they are asking each other. So having it be a group experience really lends itself to the success of the program."
8. Exit Interviews
Feedback from students can help improve your internship program. Have an HR employee or mentor schedule an interview near the end of the internship to discuss in a nonconfrontational way if the student's expectations were met.
Internships are a valuable path to full-time jobs. The National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that 66.4% of 2020 interns received job offers from the companies they interned at, provided they were qualified. Here are tips for students from Stephens, Dagdag and the NACE.
Money: Don't let salary be the deciding factor in accepting an internship. Decide if the internship is a good fit, and think about what you will gain.
Ask: Start by visiting your campus employment office, where their job is to help you find a job.
Persistence: Start small. If a company does not select you for its intern program, try to volunteer at a similar, but smaller, organization. Then apply again at the preferred company in the next round.
Environment: Many companies now offer virtual internships. Determine whether an in-person or at-home experience is better for you.
Leadership: Take a leadership role on campus or in the community; the NACE says that when employers choose between two equal candidates, the most common tie breaker is which student held a leadership position.

Hawaii preserves the island in means of taking care of their people and those who wish to experience the true meaning of aloha. Over time, Hawaii eventually became the most desirable destination to visit, putting the hospitality and tourism as the leading industry on each of the islands. ClimbHI's effort to promote jobs to local residents and our youth shows the support they continuously provide to our community, making it known that there are opportunities for advancement and that there many jobs available for me right here in Hawaii. It was not until that day of the first L.E.I event on Maui that the world of the hotel industry sparked interest in me - from the motivational speakers to the back of the house tours. The are countless job opportunities waiting at our door! But I was only a 16-year-old student back then and anything I could remember after was nothing more than the exposure. A year later I returned and the year after that; three years counting as a mentor, each year noticing more than I noticed before. Even after the struggle of getting used to being out of my comfort zone, I enjoyed the small personal conversations with the students, sneak peaks of the hallways and offices where I possibly could be working at someday and words of wisdom from the experts. I found my connection to the tourism industry through the L.E.I program and was more than satisfying. When I thought things could not get any better, one last hoorah and I, along with my capstone class, eventually became one of the faces behind the program. I would be part of the LEI program again…but this time I would finish off with by helping plan the career fair, which neatly tied everything together. L.E.I has always been great at coming full circle, always never failing to prepare us for the real world. When we successfully executed the Career Fair portion of the event, it validated that 'I am' at the right place and in the right industry and I wouldn't have known it if it wasn't for the opportunity given. As I approach what will be the greatest milestone in my life thus far, I hope ClimbHI continues to inspire and educate aspiring leaders. Tourism might be universal, but Hawaii is home of genuine hospitality and there are no better ambassadors of that than our own.

I started playing guitar about 15 years ago (mostly electric), coming from a violin background as a child. During my Undergrad I took a long hiatus from guitar playing/practicing, and I have recently deciding to dive deeper into Classical Guitar.
Thank you for providing an excellent forum for guitar players of all backgrounds.

Named for Summerland's sweetheart of the slopes, Kristi's Run at Apex will host some of the world's top skiers in this weekend's Toyo Canadian Selections Mogul event.
This region will be well represented in the list of 70 athletes from across Canada and the 15 international positions filled from Japan.
They will include members of the host Apex Freestyle Club along with some local competitors from the B.C. Freestyle Ski team led by Penticton's own Josh Kober, who took over the moguls head coaching role for the 2017/18 season.
Kober's credentials include competing on the FIS (International Ski Federation) NorAm Tour; being crowned a junior national champion in single and dual moguls at Apex in 2012 and a finalist at the Nor-Am Cup finals in Vail, Colorado in 2013.
Kober is following in his father Rob's tracks. Rob Kober has been the national men's mogul team head coach for over 15 years.
Josh recently completed his competition development technical training and this weekend's event is his first at the helm of the team.
"I'm super excited to be here. I grew up skiing at Apex," said Kober, who is now coaching his 18-year-old sister Chloe Kober, one of the team's top prospects. "I'm excited to see all our hard work come together and reap the rewards.
Along with his younger sister, Kober picked other local Team B.C. members Brayden Kuroda, Hayden Person and Kassidy Todd as contenders on the slopes this weekend.
The athletes in the two-day event will be judged on speed, air and their turns. There are two jumps on the course, athletes will be doing aerial maneuvers such as 720's, D Spins (off axis, inverted rotations) and a back full, which is a back flip with 360-degree rotation and landing back in the moguls.
According to James Shalman, general manager of Apex Mountain Resort, Kristi's Run has been rated by international coaches as one of the best courses on the World Cup circuit for its constant 26-degree pitch over its 220-metre length. He added considerable work has been done over the years to get it to its current state of perfection, which has attracted national and international teams to the mountain for training and World Cup events in 2006 and 2007.
Training for this weekend's event began Thursday and continues Friday with the main competition Saturday and Sunday.
This is the first stop on the Canada Cup series.

Spytihněv II. (1031 – 28. ledna 1061, latinsky Spitigneu či Zpitigneu) byl český kníže (1055–1061) z dynastie Přemyslovců, podle Kosmy muž velmi krásný, vlasy měl tmavší nad černou smolu, vousy dlouze splývající, tvář veselou...

Rodina
Spytihněv byl nejstarší syn Břetislava I. a Jitky Nordgavské, bratr svého nástupce Vratislava II., Konráda I. Brněnského a Oty Olomouckého, kteří vládli v moravských údělech, a Jaromíra, který se později stal biskupem. Jeho manželkou byla Ida Wettinská.

Mládí
Jako dítě se Spytihněv stal v roce 1039 rukojmím Jindřicha III., kterému se znelíbila expanzivní politika knížete Břetislava, ale po porážce při tažení do Čech byl vyměněn za německé pány.

O rok později byl ale Jindřich úspěšnější a Spytihněv putoval znovu jako záruka míru do německých zemí. Není známo, jak dlouhou dobu tam strávil, ale ve Spytihněvových sedmnácti letech mu otec svěřil olomoucký úděl, před svou smrtí ho Břetislav povolal do Čech na knížecí stolec a Moravu rozdělil mezi další tři syny.

Spytihněv II. jako kníže
Roku 1055 přijal Spytihněv po smrti otce od císaře Jindřicha III. Čechy v léno. Vzápětí zbavil své bratry údělných držav a podřídil Moravu přímé vládě a dle Kosmy dal všechny Němce včetně své matky ze země vyhnat. Dochované prameny tomu ale odporují. Kníže dal vyhnat zřejmě jen svou matku, protože snad bránila jeho mladší bratry, a abatyši u sv. Jiří německého původu. Sám Spytihněv měl německou manželku a ze Sázavského kláštera vypudil slovanské mnichy, které nahradili mniši němečtí, provádějící latinskou liturgii. Po incidentu, který Spytihněv II. vyvolal u Hrutova v r. 1055, se vytrácí původní moravská šlechta z dějin. Nahrazují ji kasteláni a šlechta dosazení z Čech.

Roku 1057 Spytihněv II. založil litoměřickou kapitulu. Roku 1059 vrátil bratrovi Vratislavovi olomoucký úděl, aby otupil spojenectví mezi Svatou římskou říší a Uhrami poté, co se Vratislav II. oženil s Adletou Uherskou. Snaha o propůjčení královského titulu Spytihněvovi nevyšla, avšak za každoroční poplatek jednoho sta hřiven stříbra mu papež Mikuláš II. udělil právo nosit biskupskou mitru při vybraných církevních svátcích (1059 nebo 1060). Za jeho vlády došlo k přestavbě rotundy sv. Víta na Pražském hradě na románskou baziliku.

Následnictví

Spytihněv zemřel ve třiceti letech, po šesti letech vlády. Stalo se tak 28. ledna 1061 snad po bojích u Hradce nad Moravicí, pohřben je ve Svatovítské bazilice. Mnozí kronikáři předpokládali, že druhá polovina 11. století bude dobou Spytihněva, nepochybně schopného knížetezdroj?, osud tomu ale chtěl jinak. Jeho nástupcem a prvním českým králem se stal Spytihněvův bratr Vratislav II.

Spytihněvův jediný syn Svatobor (Fridrich) se stal roku 1085 akvillejským patriarchou, ale už 23. 2. 1086 byl zavražděn při pouliční výtržnosti.

Potomci
S manželkou Idou Wettinskou († po 1061) měl Spytihněv II. 2 děti:

 Svatobor († 1086), aquilejský patriarcha

A passionate advocate for environmental protection, Lola is especially concerned with the state of one of the planet's most precious resources: water. To support worldwide water conservation efforts, she's helped to spearhead a groundbreaking project called The Droplet—an art installation designed to boost awareness of issues like water scarcity and climate change.
Launched in September 2017 at Monnaie de Paris, The Droplet provides a multisensory and engagingly educational experience, intended to stimulate conversation on the urgency of water management. Over the past few years, the installation has toured the world as the visual centerpiece to a series of conferences, performances, and consciousness-raising events spotlighting an array of water issues. Repeatedly tailored to reflect water's historical context in each location, The Droplet ultimately promotes water sustainability on both a local and global scale.

It's something we need to consider when working with clients. Just one more factor that may be contributing to their issues. Could it be the effect EMFs have on our good gut bacteria which, as we now know, is essential to good health? I was joined by building biologist Cathy Cooke, BCHN, BBEC, who will discuss how she assesses the environment of her clients' homes and the recommendations she makes, including supplements that can help.
Cathy has been working as an Integrative Health Coach since 2014. She is a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist with the National Association of Nutritional Professionals. Recognizing that many of her clients were 'doing everything right' yet still suffering from health issues, she realized that many home and work environments were contributing to illness. Seeing dramatic improvements in her own health after limiting radio frequency exposure from wifi and cell phones, she received training and certification from the International Institute of Building Biology and Ecology, affording her the expertise to evaluate all areas in a persons life that may be contributing to illness.
Lorene and Cathy , great topic! Lots of information! Thanks for the webnair.
Thanks Norma-Jean! It was super fun to do!

HERE ARE SOME OTHER SIMILAR FOSSILS FOR SALE
2.5" Rosasite, Selenite and Ferroan Dolomite Association - Morocco
This colorful specimen contains blue-green rosasite and green malachite crystal aggregations, atop a bed of dark reddish brown ferroan dolomite. Translucent selenite crystals can be found across the dolomite as well as enshrouding the rosasite and malachite crystal formations.
Rosasite is a secondary mineral that forms in oxidation zones of copper-zinc deposits, generally forming a fibrous botryoidal sphere that can appear vitreous and silky. While typically featuring a blue-green color, colorless specimens are not unheard of. The chemical formula of rosasite is CuZnCO3(OH)2.
Malachite is an intense green copper-based mineral that can be found in a wide variety of forms. Malachite can grow in botryoidal masses, stalactitic formations, and reniform formations, typically as a tight cluster of fanning fibrous needles that make up a seemingly solid mass. As layers continue to stack during formation, a banded pattern can sometimes begin to take shape, which explains the rings in all shades of green that are seen on most polished malachite specimens.
Malachite results from the weathering of other copper ores and is very often found associated with other copper-based minerals such as Azurite and Chrysocolla. It can be found in copper deposits around the world, but the Democratic Republic Of The Congo is the primary source for polished malachite and mineral specimens.
Malachite has been prized since ancient times, first as a utilitarian copper ore, then as an ornamental stone. Due to it's value as a decorative stone, it's rarely mined as a copper ore anymore.
Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate—CaMg(CO3)2.
The mineral dolomite crystallizes in the trigonal-rhombohedral system. It forms white, tan, gray, or pink crystals. Dolomite is a double carbonate, having an alternating structural arrangement of calcium and magnesium ions. It does not rapidly dissolve in dilute hydrochloric acid as calcite does. Crystal twinning is common.
The mineral dolomite was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1768 and In 1791, it was described as a rock by the French naturalist and geologist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu who first recognized the material in buildings of the old city of Rome, and later as samples collected in the mountains known as the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy.

Q: Laser detector parts I have been trying to find laser level detector components.  I took apart one on hand, see what looks like basic photodiodes and a light tube.  Note the 3 photodiodes visible in the center part.
Could these be off the shelf photodiodes?
Any ideas how they are determining location?
Laser level type = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_level

A: Oh, @tomnexus gave me a clue... I think there is only one photodiode (PD) and as he said the rings scatter light that is not "on axis".  So you find a signal maximum when the laser light is perfectly aligned, (cute).
And to answer the question: Yes I think you can use a commercial PD.  You'll want the PD area to fill the end area of the rod... there might be some diffusor in the middle there between the PD and rod.

Risk of Ruin: Lucky or Unlucky?
My wife and I recently bought a house halfway across the country, realizing a lifelong dream to live in the mountains. It was not without its scary moments, but the end result was amazing and fulfilling. Looking back, many of the facets of the transaction that looked like a deck stacked against us were, in fact, the best possible things that could have happened. Seldom do I treat directly with real Risk of Ruin, but today I will.
After a couple years of looking online and informally looking at neighborhoods and houses while vacationing in Colorado, D and I finally narrowed our search down to the foothills west of Fort Collins. My employer had agreed to let me work remotely, and after finishing up her PhD in Biology, D planned to look for either forestry or university work. Fort Collins is a good location for both of those things. For my part, I needed somewhere with a solid broadband connection so I could do my job, and D needed to be not-too-far from Fort Collins since she would probably be commuting. After our "drive-by stalking" adventures, we knew we wanted mountain property with lots of trees, but some open areas, too. And we wanted at least 10 acres of space that we could easily use without climbing gear -- too many houses in the mountains are perched on a cliff and crammed into a corner of their lot, leaving the residents unable to get to the rest of the property because of the terrain.
Broadband, short drive-time, trees, meadows, mountains, and lots of land. Not an easy combination of things to come by. We had several candidates favorited on real estate websites like Zillow and Redfin, but of course you can't buy real estate online. So in the early spring a high school friend of D's that had moved to Fort Collins recommended an agent, and home shopping began in earnest.
On our first trip to meet with the agent, he had about 10-15 properties for us to look at, and we visited them all (with one exception). Some of them were already on our favorites lists, and three in particular we recognized and were especially interested in. Of those three, we didn't get to see one because a tree fell on the current owner the day before the showing.
Another wasn't nearly as good in person as online -- there were a lot of things that looked like they could be maintenance nightmares lurking under the surface, especially the garage, which had excavated top-soil pressing against its back wall. That house will come up later as the Garage House. Almost none of the houses we looked at had high-speed internet.
The third house, though, was much better than the pictures. It was on a large square lot with both forests and meadows, it was right off a main road only about 20 minutes from town, and the owner had gone to the expense of a major internet upgrade that he put in for himself so that he and his wife could work effectively from home whenever they wished. We returned to Chicago, and after thinking about and talking about this property for a week or so, we ran out of reasons not to put an offer on it. And so we did.
A quick digression about regional weather patterns: there were record-low snowfalls in the Colorado Rockies over the 2011-2012 season. Since melting snowpack is where most of the moisture that feeds the region comes from, an extremely dry summer with very high fire danger was expected. Worse, the Rocky Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic is sweeping across the forests of northern and central Colorado, leaving millions of dead pine trees in its wake. As soon as it looked like we might be buying a property in the Colorado mountains, I started reading up on protecting my property from wildfires by removing the dead and infested trees. I knew that I was moving into a high-risk zone, and I wanted to be as prepared as possible. The volunteer fire department is located only about 1/3 mile away, which is very encouraging, but preventing fire is always preferable to fighting it.
Our initial offer went to the sellers on May 12, 2012. On May 14, 2012, the Hewlett Gulch fire started on the north side of the Poudre Canyon, about 4 miles from the house. D and I watched carefully as it was fully contained in about a week, thankful that there was a river, two roads, and a ridge-top between the fire and the property we hoped would soon be ours. Fire fighters managed to bring the fire under control without losing a single structure. The fire was the largest that Larimer County had ever had, at 7,685 acres.
We returned to the property on June 2 to do the inspection. Encouraged by the results, we returned home elated, and put our own house on the market. On June 9th, we spent the day visiting with D's family, who threw her a going away party. There was much interest in our plans, and the Hewlett Gulch fire, so we happily chattered about how excited we were about the new property, and how relieved we were that the horrible fire hadn't gotten too close. During the party, D received a text from our Fort Collins friend -- she didn't read it until we got home that evening, and it went something like this: just thought you guys should know there's another fire burning near your new place. That fire, it turned out, was the High Park Fire.
Over the course of the next three days, the High Park Fire exploded in size, screaming across the entire Rist Canyon area. In the initial days of the fire, getting everyone to safety was the first priority. This meant that the limited resources already in the area couldn't do much to protect structures. Structure protection was much more effective later after the personnel fighting the fire increased from 250 up to its high somewhere near 2500. We watched in horror as the fire seemed to circle our new house, expanding first to the northeast, then the south, then back to the west again. Entire neighborhoods of houses were wiped out, for a total of 118 in the first few days. The Garage House survived, but the garage itself was destroyed and nearly all the trees on the property were reduced to blackened toothpicks. The sellers' agent also lost her house during those first few days. Eventually, the fire completed its circuit around and mostly filled a more-or-less square area 41,142 acres in size. Right in the center of that area was a little diagonal patch of unburned ground running from northwest to southeast along the road. In the middle of that patch was our house.
Bear in mind, we were still negotiating the contract when the fire broke out. Our earnest money was sitting in an escrow account protecting our offer, and things like the inspection and water potability test had been removing our excuses for canceling the contract. Of course, having a fire come through and destroy the house would certainly be a good excuse. But the earnest money was only 1% of the purchase price, so we could afford to walk away at any time if we decided we weren't comfortable, without any explanation. And that topic definitely came up in our conversations, especially the morning of June 13, when we saw that the unburned patch of ground had shrunk overnight, and now our new property was within the burn area. Both D and I started preparing ourselves emotionally for what we were sure was coming: a phone call from our agent informing us that the house had been heavily damaged or destroyed.
But that call didn't come. Instead, the seller -- part of the volunteer fire department battling the blaze -- reached out to me directly via email, sending me pictures that painted a very different story than the doom-filled media reports of walls of flame 200 feet high marching inexorably across the landscape. Those flame-walls were real, but they weren't representative of every part of the burn area. In many places, the fire contented itself with ground fuels, leaving the tops of the trees untouched while consuming the fallen needles, branches, scrub, and grass. Looking at the pictures, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. Instead of the blackened moonscape I expected to see, I saw green grass, green trees, and occasional black stripes on the ground where the fire sent out a finger, testing the defensible area around the house. The pictures were strategically shot, showing me bits of burn area but mostly focusing on the green stuff. I can't really blame the seller for that, he was trying to keep me from panicking and killing the deal -- and he surely knew that we would be visiting prior to closing and would see the whole story, so I view his shot selection as reassuring, rather than misleading.
On June 15, we learned that the major insurance carriers had all frozen the writing of new policies in the area indefinitely, as of the start date of the fire -- June 9. We obviously couldn't imagine buying a house with no hazard insurance, and the bank requires hazard insurance in order to approve a mortgage, so that had the potential to kill the deal. On June 16, after making some calls to find out more details, we discovered that our insurance policy had been delivered to our loan underwriter on June 8, one day before the freeze went into effect. Our agent promised to head up into the canyon as soon as the roads were reopened to take some pictures and video so that we could see the full extent of the situation and make a decision about the closing.
Despite our house being spared, the fire was nowhere near done. The management team spent the next two weeks scrambling to create and defend a line of containment around this fire, as record high temperatures, 30-50mph winds, and single-digit humidity levels all contributed to make the fire extremely aggressive and difficult to predict. Many stories have been written about the High Park Fire, so I won't repeat them except to give the final stats. By the time full containment was reached on July 1st, it had burned 87,284 acres making it the second-largest in Colorado history. 259 homes where destroyed in the High Park Fire, making it the most destructive fire in Colorado history (that record was broken immediately by the Waldo Canyon Fire outside Colorado Springs). Not including the property damages, the actual fighting of the fire cost $39.2 million.
Progression through June 23. Expansion in WSW corner is not mapped.
We had a closing date of June 29 scheduled, but our agent couldn't get into the canyon to view the house because the road hadn't been reopened. After much soul searching, we decided to fly out anyway, and to be very thorough with the final walk-through, since that would be our last chance to pull out. As the day drew nearer and nearer, we started questioning the prudence of closing on a house that remained evacuated and in an active fire zone. On June 28 in the late afternoon, as we were boarding our plane to Colorado, the evacuation was lifted. Only residents could pass the National Guard checkpoints, but we had the selling agent to drive us up, so that was no problem.
D and I wandered around the property and the house with our agent for about two hours that morning. We saw lots of devastation in the surrounding forest, but we saw plenty of hope, too. The views from the house are largely intact, with the worst destruction occurring deep in the forest away from the house. Most of the burn visible from the house is limited to grass damage, which will repair itself in a matter of months. There was minor smoke damage to the interior walls, but the seller's insurance covered its professional mitigation before we moved in. We found many green shoots pushing through blackened vegetation. But in the process of walking that property and surveying the situation, as well as conversations with the seller before, during, and after closing, we learned some terrifying details about the events of June 12.
It turned out that our seller/firefighter was defending his real estate agent's house and had to let it go because a huge wall of flame was sweeping up the hill from the road. He and his partner barely made their escape and were forced to cut the hose for lack of time. Despite this near-death experience, he chose to spend the night in his/our house so he could defend it. In the dusk, he and fire personnel from 3 other trucks felled trees, laid out hoses, and plowed dirt rings between the forest and the house -- effectively fortifying what was already a defensible zone. About 2am, he awoke to see an orange glow in the west-facing windows, so he wearily donned his protective gear and headed out expecting to watch the fire die at the fire break. Instead, he discovered that it had jumped the break and was within 10 feet of the western wall of the house. With his pre-laid hose, he was able to shut it down and contain the remainder of the fire behind the fire break. At some point he also had to turn his attention to the detached garage, which was closely threatened on its north and east sides. Propane tanks for both the garage and house show burned grass beneath them.
Many, many friends and relatives have tactfully or tactlessly asked us if we're crazy for completing this transaction. Our logic ran like this: the entire Front Range is experiencing record-dry drought conditions this year, making the fire danger extreme throughout all of our potential home sites. Now that the High Park Fire has burned away most of the fuel in Rist Canyon and the surrounding areas, another major fire in that area is unlikely for the next 20 years or so. So which is better? an area that has some black eyes but won't burn again for 20 years, or a pretty tinder box that could go up at any moment?
Our luck was magical: one day later with the insurance, and the bank would have killed the deal. Ours was the first real estate transaction to close after the fire. One day earlier with the closing date, and the evacuation order would have remained in place and our agent would have talked us out of closing. Ten feet more from the fire, and our beautiful new house would have been damaged or destroyed, and our seller would have been in grave peril. We also learned later that the Garage House was sold and closed on June 8. So those poor buyers, the very next day, found themselves thrust into an evacuation situation. We were spared that, since we were still in Chicago and in the stressful but safe situation of being able to simply cancel the deal if the house was damaged. All the other homeowners in the area had to wait and see if their summers would be spent rebuilding -- we could wait to see if we had to restart the real estate shopping or not.
Words cannot express my gratitude to the previous owner of our new house, as well as all the men and women on the many fire-fighting agencies that came together to contain this fire and protect the structures within it. But especially the seller, because I know he risked his life for the property, and then thought to take pictures to reassure us the next morning. He was an absolute prince of a man throughout the entire transaction, and I like to think that I can now number him as one of my friends.
Next time someone wants to complain about the stress of buying a new home...I'm sending them to this page :) Happy for you two and I cannot wait to come out as see you guys! Nate says hello!!

Q: Easygui file encoding and returning to the begin of the code So i made an application that can login, make user, chance username and change passwords.
The first problem is that i cant get file encoding to work. it saves the password in plain text (in psw.txt, but i want it to save to psw.txt encoded).

I have a slow network connection to the database. Is there any way to increase the timeout threshold for Navicat?
MySQL wait_timeout is the default which is 24 hours, so I'm sure that isn't the issue.
I'm getting a 2013 error whenever the connection fails.
However, when this happens, if I try to do what I just did, it works. So I'm pretty sure my settings are fine. I think Navicat gives up when it doesn't get a timely response.
I'm running the Windows Navicat Premium, version 11.2.16 (64-bit) on Windows 7 Pro.

Amongst the essential aphorisms of swimming are; that you need to start swimming properly before the age of 16 or you will never reach your maximum genetic potential, (as Swim Ireland put it), which means fast; and that you need to train with others to get fast.
That's me screwed then. I didn't start swimming seriously until about seven years ago and I am a lone swimmer, meaning I have no-one to train with except maybe a handful of times per year.
One of the misconceptions about those of us who are not the fastest, is that we care less, maybe even train less. Speaking for myself, neither are true. I try hard to eek out whatever improvement I can in the absence of external input. Lots of drills, lots of interval work, lots of mixed sessions, lots of long sessions, never less than one million metres a year for the last five years (usually well over).
Autumn and early winter see me return to proper pool training and the first four to six weeks are spent getting rebuilding the aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Endurance and sprint, or what passes for sprint with me.
Six weeks ago, the first four weeks or so done, and starting to feel like pushing a bit, I was dampened by a lack of a planned big swim for next year, not being able to afford any of the ones I'd love to do. This meant I haven't much reason to train big distances so I just decided to work on shorter distances for now. Tuesdays in the local pool are time constrained I have just under an hour available, so it became Time Trial Tuesday.
I'm not fast. I'm not slow either, just swimming along there in the middle. Very occasionally win a category in an open water race, more likely to be second or third or fourth. Do my repeat 100s on 1:40, and 1:35 when I feel like killing myself. For reference my 1500 SCM time is about twenty-two minutes flat-out on a good day when I don't do anything wrong. I'm a Channel swimmer so I can live with my average times. But I still try.
And I decided that for Time Trial Tuesday I'd shoot for a sub 45:00:00 3k time.
I've chased 4k in an hour before, and the closest I got was 3,950. So close and yet 50 metres too far. I have broken 3k in 45 minutes and 4k in 60 minutes, but that was training with The Magnificent Seven and chasing Liam and Eddie Irwin. Last winter I was doing a 10 x 1000m timed session after chatting with Páraic about it, and on three of the 1000s I went well under 15 minutes. But I was getting a break after every kilometre.
The first week I didn't try very hard. That alone is symptomatic of not being fit, being unable to push yourself. The second week wasn't much better. The third week I was just over 47 minutes. Not great. On the fourth week I gave it a good shot, with almost a minute drop in time. Week five I was on the edge. I swam well, did everything right and on the first kilometre I was two seconds under 15 minutes. I got excited, starting thinking that I might make it. I dropped fifteen seconds on the second kilometre and almost the same again on the third, finishing in 45:35. I was disappointed to finish so much over 45:00. I hadn't made any real mistakes. I wasn't sure how much further I could go.
Enter the Finis Tempo Trainer (TT), dragged from the dark recesses of my swim bag. Almost unused since I had bought the most recent two years ago.
I set it to 1:30 and timed it to start with the lap clock. The TT would give three quick beeps every one minute and thirty seconds. A quick 200 metres warm-up with power paddles. TT under my cap where I would hear it clearly, yet would be inaudible to anyone else. Then I pushed off. A slow start left me two seconds behind by 200 metres. I upped it slightly and was on target by 400 metres. One side of my goggles leaked in the first kilometre and lost a couple of seconds trying to clear it. It immediately leaked again so I decided one eye would be sufficient. Luckily it was my left side that leaked,and since I was going all-out I was breathing every second stroke on my right for the entire trial. I reached the first kilometre at two seconds under according to the beeps.
I had gone into it thinking I could afford to lose ten seconds that I would make back in the last kilometre. I realised this was utterly wrong. I have been slow to start previously and had worked on doing a faster first kilometre, hence the essential short hard warmup. I knew I would have to stay within a couple of seconds of the 1:30 per 100m target.
The second kilometre was tougher, but I held on, slipping a second twice and making it back twice. I tried to concentrate on every metre, making sure that I dipped my right hip and get my right arm fully extended, key for me to stay on time, so easy to forget on every stroke.
I reached the 2k mark one second behind target, and pulled it back by 2100. Then lost it again. Then regained it again. Then lost almost second each 100 for 300 metres, leaving me two full seconds behind with 400 metres to go. From 2100 metres I was starting to get tunnel vision. The sides of the pool when I breathed had disappeared. Those were long minutes, the beeps inexorable. I knew I could give it everything from 400 metres out. I went, and went and went hard, a very short dolphin out of every turn. I was on target at 2900 metres. I thought I'd have a sprint in me for the final 100 metres but I didn't. I touched the wall just before the first beep. 44:59. One second under.
I don't know if I will go lower. If I do it'll probably be a function of increasing fitness rather that any stroke improvements. Not that my stroke couldn't stand intervention, it's just not likely that is to happen. But I'll keep trying.
It's good and it's chastening. Good to break that target, chastening that 15 minute kilometres are easy for fast swimmers to repeat. To be competitive in a 1500m requires a 19 to 18 minute time, three to four minutes faster than I can go. Trent was swimming 1:12 at the end of his world record English Channel swim. I will never get any faster easily, somewhere in the not-too-distant future I will start to slow down, despite everything.
But for now, it's still three kilometres in 45 minutes. And that's enough.
Hi Donal, very helpful article for me (ie a good idea to incorporate into my training). Thanks.
You mention that you have only been swimming seriously for around 7 years. And now you are swimming your intervals on 1:35 to 1:40 per 100m pace. I am curious to know what pace you would have been swimming your intervals on in those first years, if you can possibly recall?
When you are alone you cannot divide anything, you have to handle it by yourself. When things seem impossible then a metamorphosis of the impossible in the mind must take place. You will be the odd one out but at least and hopefully for nothing else, you will have the measure of yourself.

Over and through the burial chant,1
Organ and solemn service, sermon, bending priests,
To me come interpolation sounds not in the show—
plainly to me, crowding up the aisle and from
the window,
Of sudden battle's hurry and harsh noises—war's,
war's grim game to sight and ear in earnest;
The scout call'd up and forward—the General
mounted and his aides around him—the new
brought word—the instantaneous order issued;
The rifle crack—the cannon thud—the rushing forth
of men from their tents;
The clank of cavalry—the strange celerity of form-
ing ranks—the slender bugle note;
The sound of horses' hoofs departing—saddles,
arms, accoutrements.
1. Reprinted as "Interpolation Sounds" in Good-Bye My Fancy (1891). This poem appeared in the Herald four days after Whitman's short prose tribute to General Philip K. Sheridan, a Union general during the Civil War, and the fourth four-star general of the United States. When reprinted in "Good-Bye My Fancy," the poem included the note, "General Sheridan was buried at the Cathedral, Washington, D.C. August, 1888, with all the pomp, music and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic service." [back]
