Airport to launch development of south extension in early 2019
- Friday, December 7, 2018 - 1 year ago No Comments 3,353 Views
The Macau International Airport Company has announced plans to launch the Passenger Terminal Building South Extension Design & Build Project in early 2019. According to a press release, the project will occupy an area of 5,700 square meters, extending three levels from existing passenger terminal buildings for a total floor area of 17,100 square meters.
Upon completion of the project, the overall design capacity of the passenger terminal building will be increased to 10 million passengers per year. The expansion includes features such as an additional departure hall area, office area, commercial area, food and beverage area, VIP area and an additional three loading bridges.
To cope with an increasing number of passengers and the airport's future development, the Passenger Terminal Building North Extension Project was completed and put into operation early this year. With an increase of 14,000 square meters of passenger terminal floor area and a total of five passenger loading bridges, the overall design capacity of the passenger terminal building increased from 6 million passengers per year to 7.8 million passengers per year.

On discovering a leading man on a college campus for the story of 18-year-old deciding who he wants to be.
"I was just walking to my car after class one day and [Daniel] stopped me and kind of just threw me into this world," laughs Slaggert, who has already booked his second prominent feature role in the upcoming horror film "Wish Upon" after appearing in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein and Versace following his chance encounter with Peddle.
It isn't just Slaggert who Peddle throws into the deep end in "Moss," or the rest of the largely nonprofessional cast for that matter, but audiences as well, thoroughly immersing them in the bewitching spirit and culture of Carolina Beach, where visitors like Mary (Christine Marzano, the rare ringer in the group) come to escape from a world that moves too fast near the tranquil water and exotic fauna while its longtime residents like the titular 18-year-old, played by Slaggert, yearn for more excitement than can be found in nature. Set during the course of Moss' birthday, in which he's sent across the river by his father (Billy Ray Suggs) to get his grandmother her medicine, the film operates as both an often breathtaking travelogue of the marshlands and a moving story of reconciliation in a number of different forms as Moss makes peace with his place in the world, geographically and emotionally, following the death of his mother that left a chasm between himself and his dad.
"Moss" is abound in local flavor, as Moss frequents convenience stores that sell worms for fishing alongside Mountain Dew and the riverboat run by his harmonica-playing, weed-dealing friend Blaze (Dorian Cobb) appears to be cobbled together from post-industrial detritus, but his journey to find his own identity when so much of it has been formed by where he's grown up hits you no matter where you live. During the L.A. Film Festival where the film recently premiered, Peddle, Marzano and Slaggert reflected on how being in a special place led to making a special film, though not without some obstacles thrown in by the wild, and embracing limitations to find more creative solutions.
Daniel Peddle: Carolina Beach is a small island off the coast of Wilmington, North Carolina and I've been going there ever since I was a child. It's really steeped in history. It's actually where the Civil War started to come to an end – Fort Fisher, which is the Southern-most tip of the island was lost in one of the largest maritime battles. Then ironically, the island was bought by one of the largest African-American landowners, so it was owned by someone who used to be enslaved, and it has a fascinating vibe to it. Now, a lot of surfers come there and you just get this really heady brew there and the place itself is just fantastic, the way it looks, so I knew I wanted to make a film there for a long time. I've actually written two scripts that are set there and when I met Mitchell, I knew there was a perfect opportunity to capture this place and create a character that will be a tour guide, if you will, through this amazing environment.
Mitchell, you had never acted before and now you were a lead in a film. Was this an intimidating prospect?
Mitchell Slaggert: Somewhat, and I don't want to cuss, but I never half-blank anything I do [laughs], so I really just dove right into it. For me, [inhabiting the character] was just going back to my early high school days. I spent a lot of time out in the backyard just hanging out in the woods and just being like one with nature because we're all part of this earth. I got some [acting] training under my belt, and then once we came down to the nitty gritty and started doing it, nerves started to set in a little bit, but after a while, I warmed up to it.
Daniel Peddle: Mitchell went to school in Wilmington, so it's near Carolina Beach and he was familiar with the terrain, and actually Christine flew in from a bigger budget shoot she was doing in Bulgaria. My DP Juri [Beythien] is German and had never been to the U.S. before, so this was the first time he had seen this place and had been in the U.S. at all, much less experienced it through the lens of this weird little island, so having the combination of the people that were familiar with the terrain and the people like Christine and Yuri who had not seen it, helped me maintain this kind of freshness about the place. We integrated in a lot of local people that act in the film or they play themselves more or less in the film and that helped everyone understand what kind of vibe we were going for because once you meet people that are from there, you know what it is that makes that place special.
Mitchell Slaggert: Yeah, [Daniel] grew up there, so he knew all the beautiful spots and the places we wanted to go shoot, like they had burned some of the forest to clear out some of the foiliage, so we'd go out there and he knows this place like the back of his hand, so it really helped put it all together.
Christine, how did you come on to the film?
Christine Marzano: I met Daniel a few years ago when I was still in college. He came to Princeton to scout men for the Abercrombie and Fitch campaign and he scouted my boyfriend at the time, but we've been in touch ever since. When he said he was working on this film, I'd always followed his documentaries and the art that he does and I've always thought he was a ridiculously talented, so when he mentioned the film, I said I'd love to be a part of it.
For me, [this character of Mary] was more of the idea of being the outsider. Mary isn't from there, she's passing through it and there was a lot of that in my actual experience too. I'm not from there, I'm not from the South, but [Mary] desperately wanted to have that connection with nature and maybe it wasn't the easiest connection to have, but she was trying.
Still, you look surprisingly comfortable when that snake crawls up your arm.
Daniel Peddle: It was the most docile snake ever. It was fully prepared. It was very, very docile. Let's put it that way.
Was this an unexpectedly physical shoot for you guys?
Christine Marzano: I had just come from shooting an action film, so we were doing stunts and I was actually pretty well-prepared.
Daniel Peddle: They never complained, either of them. And they were doing so many things that were outside the normal box of making a film. I mentor a lot of young filmmakers and I tell them it's not a career, it's a life and I feel like that's what happens on a set too. You go into it with these 20 days, or [in this case] these 25 days, and it just becomes an intensified living experience. Everything gets amplified and even when you're done shooting for the day, you're still on that high. Obviously, [the actors] gave terrific performances, but it's not just about that. It's also about the process for all of us because I think of it as making art, so having people that were willing to put their hearts and souls into it and lift stuff when we needed to, made a huge difference.
How big a crew did you have?
Daniel Peddle: It was a total skeleton crew. There were only four of us, plus our assistants, so we did a lot with a little. When you're working with restrictive budgets and you have fewer resources than maybe you want to have, you end up being far more creative and if you're open to it, you can turn those very obstacles into gems for your film. That happened a lot for us. You get a feeling of the authenticity and the soul behind the movie, which is of course, not easy to achieve and I'm very proud of that.
Daniel Peddle: And it was cold that day.
Christine Marzano: I had to have blankets with me at all times.
Daniel Peddle: It was 40 degrees.
Christine Marzano: It was freezing that day. The water was insane.
Mitchell Slaggert: We were just on the boardwalk and it was like a clear view just straight to the ocean. The wind was coming on and we were freezing.
Daniel Peddle: And the sun was setting.
Did Mitchell and Christine meet before filming? Given the relationship where it's this chance encounter, how much did you want to know each other before shooting?
Mitchell Slaggert: Well, [Daniel] spoke really highly of [Christine], so of course I wanted to know her and also the fact that she was an experienced actor, I wanted to pick her brain for everything she had. She really expanded my whole mindset of acting, [talking about] my micromovement eye details and I never even thought of that, so it was a blessing that Daniel knows her.
Mitchell Slaggert: Yeah, I was like, "Can we shoot that again?" [Christine laughs and rolls her eyes] [There was another day when] we were on a flat-bottom boat with four-foot waves one day and the sound guy Justin [Fox] was hiding his mic because waves were spilling over this boat.
Daniel Peddle: He was literally curled up in a fetal position and he wasn't getting sound.
Mitchell Slaggert: Yeah, because the boat was rocking back and forth, and thank God [we had] a really good captain who was able to manage us and get to shore. For a second there, it seemed like he might just abandon ship to try and get away.
Daniel Peddle: Yeah, this is a very moody river and when I wrote [the film], I thought "Oh, these are going to be beautiful scenes." I never really thought about how complicated it would actually be to shoot them on the river. We had to choreograph a lot of boat movements and [other] crazy stuff to achieve [this] with very limited resources. My friend said, "That last shot in your film, in a Hollywood feature, that would be a half a million dollar shot," so we worked a lot with a little.
Mitchell Slaggert: Yeah, it's called the Cape Fear River for a reason.
Daniel Peddle: That's him playing the harmonica, by the way.
How did that sequence come about? It really gives a feel for the place.
Daniel Peddle: I bike all the time wherever I go and this is a crazy place to go biking because you can actually bike in the woods, which is pretty rare. There's a lot of really, really backwoods type residential areas in this neck of the woods and a certain type of Americana you don't see very often, so I thought those bike scenes would be an amazing way to get us through those areas in a concentrated form.
You mentioned before turning obstacles into gems for the film. Were there any surprises that came up during shooting that you're happy are there now?
Daniel Peddle: This incredible scene with the owl [that Moss lets loose] was a total surprise. We had no idea which way the owl was going to fly and we only got to do it twice because the owl's not allowed to fly off its leash more than that or it gets confused. The second time that it literally flew right over the camera is one of my favorite things in the movie and that was just by chance. But we had lots of things like that happen. More so in the casting process frankly – things that would happen where people would come into the film that we weren't necessarily expecting, but we made room for them because they were amazing.
Mitchell Slaggert: Yeah, me and Billy [Ray Suggs] [really] have a father-son relationship. He's like a mentor and I look up to him and also we were able to get some gorgeous shots like as we were caneoing down the Cape Fear river, we'd get this Natural Geographic shot of like a 10-foot alligator slowing sliding right in.
Daniel Peddle: Yeah, that was incredible.
Mitchell Slaggert: Coming right down below and [we had] a gorgeous sunset on the last day where Blaze is playing the harmonica, it was just like God was waving goodbye to us. Like "Here you go, congratulations on your movie." It was amazing.
"Moss" will open on July 6th in Los Angeles and New York.

Memorial to Hermann von Wissmann
As they approach the end of the "German Colonialism: Fragments Past and Present" exhibition, visitors encounter a toppled monument lying on the ground. In the "What's That For?" series, we explain why we have decided to display the "Memorial to Hermann von Wissmann with Askari and Lion" this way.
Hermann von Wissmann (1853–1905) served between 1885 and 1886 as governor of German East Africa, a colonial territory that encompassed present-day Tanzania, Burundi, and Rwanda. His monument was designed by Adolf Kürle and officially unveiled in Dar es Salaam on 3 April 1909, some four years after Wissmann's death.
In 1919, Germany was stripped of its status as a colonial power in the wake of the country's defeat in the First World War and in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles. Now located in territory controlled by the British under a mandate from the League of Nations, the monument was duly taken down and transported to London, where it was put on public display at the Imperial War Museum as a war trophy. Following requests by supporters campaigning for the reestablishment of Germany's colonial empire, representatives of the German government successfully negotiated the monument's return. It was erected in 1922 in front of the University of Hamburg. During the years of the Weimar Republic and the Nazi regime, the Wissmann monument routinely took centre stage at events organized by colonial revisionists, who demanded the return of Germany's former colonies.
In 1961, students in Hamburg voiced (initially unsuccessful) demands for the removal of the monument, as they felt it glorified Germany's colonial past and featured a representation that was offensive to their fellow African students. The protests grew more strident with the increasing politicization of the student movement. When the monument was toppled in September 1967, it was intended to strike a symbolic blow against the "ongoing exploitation of the Third World" while marking a break from the university's traditionalism. After once again being sprayed with paint and toppled on the night of 31 October 1968, the University of Hamburg finally admitted that it was no longer feasible to keep the monument on permanent display. It was subsequently stored at the Hamburg Observatory in Bergedorf.
In order to create a visualization of Germany's relationship to its colonial past, the curatorial team at the Deutsches Historisches Museum decided that the exhibition should similarly feature the monument lying on the ground.
The exhibition "German Colonialism: Fragments Past and Present" runs until 14 May.

The Works and Genius of David Fincher: EW: Exclusive Look At "Gone Girl"
EW: Exclusive Look At "Gone Girl"
Thanks to everyone running this by my inbox, thanks EW for the preview: Lots of cool between-the-lines things to pick up from this little piece on Fincher's upcoming "Gone Girl".
My great appreciation of Fincher's casting instinct just keeps growing, and I get a sense that we are in for another great cinematic treat this fall — Fincher doing what he does best: being a sorcerer.
That is one lucky girl :) Thanks for posting Simon.
Hey, that's me! Thanks for sharing my link!
Fincher was awesome to meet and a really nice, great guy. I got to watch filming over his shoulder and was on the set for about 3 hours. Classy guy, as was his partner and producer. She was with me and told me all about the process and was a lovely lady. Top notch experience.
Oh wow, that sounds like a wonderful experience. I'm glad you got to meet and watch Fincher on set — envy alert.
The monitor Fincher is scrutinising indicates the show is being shot at 6K (top right hand corner) Or more accurately GG is being shot "at ISO 800 at 6K 2:1 with a 5:1 REDCODE RAW ratio."
Or if you meant, in general, 'why 6K?', I'd say 'why not 6K?!
Take look at that monitor and see how much room they have for reframing or image stabilization.
Wanted to post the same thing. Some people are really jumping to conclusions re:rewrite.

Anxiety Breakthrough: How To Reclaim Your Inner Calm
It's all about management now for the 40-year-old journalist and author who, until recently, had suffered from a lifelong and often crippling condition.
"Anxiety is part of everybody's life so to say I'll never have anxiety again would be crazy, for want of a better word," Elisa tells The Carousel as the press tour for her newly-released The Anxiety Book cranks into full flight.
"But the very intense general anxiety and panic attacks, all those things that made my life very hard, I don't have to deal with anymore."
The turning point for Elisa, above, came with the discovery that she had a genetic mutation in one of her genes, MTHFR, which meant her body had trouble processing mood-enhancing B vitamins.
Once her doctor Andrew Owen prescribed folinic acid as a solution Elisa says the improvements were almost instant.
"I always had this horrible feeling in my chest, that something horrible was going to happen. Folonic acid got rid of that," she says.
Elisa says she never set out to write a book about her long battle, but after the overwhelming viral success of a first-person story about her vitamin discovery, she felt she really had little choice.
More than 10 percent of Australians are estimated to suffer from an anxiety-related condition.
Elisa thought if she could help just a fraction of those, then the experience would be worth it.
"The actual writing was vile, having to revisit all those anxious moments, and putting myself into those situations again.
"But at least when I was done I was able to look at the causes of my anxiety and the things that I'd been doing that had perpetuated it for so long."
Elisa is quick to point out that although it helped her, folonic acid isn't a cure-all.
Her biggest message is one of hope and the need for acceptance.
"For a long time I felt guilty because I had this great life and I felt anxious anyway. I just needed to accept that it was part of who I was, and my life, and it was beyond my control.
"I think sometimes people can start to lose hope and think that this is their lot in life.
"But tomorrow could be the day you find the thing you need to do. Just keep searching because you will find something eventually that does help.
"It just might take some digging."
Elisa's top five tips
1. See a doctor
Elisa says that may sound obvious, but it really is the best place to start. "There are certain physical conditions that can cause anxiety-type symptoms, so it's best to rule those out."
2. Consult a mental health professional
To see if any of treatments might work for you.
3. Try transcendental meditation
Elisa believes using a mantra-based form of meditation is easier than trying to clear your mind completely.
4. Use distraction
With first-hand experience raising two demanding young boys, Elisa knows this is a powerful tool!
"Just be honest with the people around you," says Elisa, who was always good at hiding her condition for so long. "Part of the human condition is to sometimes deal with things that aren't pleasant, so to be able to share that makes it easier to deal with."

Q: Falha de segmentação (imagem do núcleo gravada) Estou fazendo um programa pra uma finalidade simples: Pegar uma frase e transformar ela em um versão dela com os caracteres de cada palavra isolada ao contrario, como: "Estou com problemas" viraria "uotsE moc samelborp". Ao compilar com gcc questao1.c -o q1 -g, escrever gdb ./q1 e dar run, ele apresenta o seguinte erro:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555554836 in pilha_push (p=0x555555757010, v=101 'e') at questao1.c:23
23  p->c[p->topo] = v;

Já olhei em muitos lugares e nada me foi útil.
Segue o código:
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
int N = 50;

typedef struct pilha{
        char *c;
        int topo;
}Pilha;

Pilha* pilha_cria(void)
{
Pilha* p = (Pilha*) malloc(sizeof(Pilha));
p->topo = 0;
return p;
}

void pilha_push (Pilha* p, char v)
{
if (p->topo == N) {
printf("Capacidade da pilha estourou.\n");
exit(1);
}
p->c[p->topo] = v;
p->topo++;
}

void inverte_palavra(char c[], int n){
      char c1[n];
      int i=0;
      for(i=n-1;i>=0;i--){
                          c1[i] = c[n-i];
      }
      i=0;
      for(i=0;i<n;i++){
                   printf("%c", c1[n]);
  }
}
void zerar_char(char c[], int n){
 char c1[n];
 c = c1;
}
void inverter_pilha(Pilha *p){
 int n = 0;
 int i=0;
 char c1[p->topo];
 for(i = 0; i<p->topo;i++){
       if(p->c[i] != ' '){
               c1[i] = p->c[i];
               n++;
       }else{
                   inverte_palavra(c1, n);
                   n = 0;
                   zerar_char(c1, p->topo);
       }
 }
}

int main(){

Pilha *p;
p = pilha_cria();
pilha_push(p, 'e');
pilha_push(p, 's');
pilha_push(p, 't');
pilha_push(p, 'a');
pilha_push(p, ' ');
pilha_push(p, 'p');
pilha_push(p, 'r');
pilha_push(p, 'o');
pilha_push(p, 'v');
pilha_push(p, 'a');
inverter_pilha(p);
}

A: Como o ponteiro p->c aponta para um lugar indefinido, ao tentar gravar o dado v na posição p->topo, seu programa acessou uma posição de memória "proibida" e recebeu um sinal de "Falha de Segmentação".
Na função pilha_cria(), você alocou uma Pilha, mas não alocou memoria para acomodar os seus itens no endereço de p->c.
Segue um exemplo (testado e melhorado) de como fazer seu programa funcionar corretamente:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct pilha {
    char *c;
    int tam;
    int topo;
} Pilha;

Pilha* pilha_cria(int tam)
{
    Pilha * p = (Pilha*) calloc( 1, sizeof(Pilha) );
    p->c = (char*) calloc( tam, sizeof(char) );
    p->topo = 0;
    p->tam = tam;
    return p;
}

void pilha_destruir(Pilha*p)
{
    free(p->c);
    free(p);
}

void pilha_push(Pilha* p, char v){
    if (p->topo < p->tam){
        p->c[ p->topo++ ] = v;
    }
}

void inverter_pilha(Pilha *p){
    int i = 0;
    int n = p->topo;
    for( i=0; i<n/2; i++){
        char aux = p->c[i];
        p->c[i] = p->c[n-1-i];
        p->c[n-1-i] = aux;
    }
}

void exibir_pilha(Pilha *p){
    int i=0;
    for(i=p->topo-1; i>=0; i--){
        printf("    [%d] %c\n", i, p->c[i]);
    }
}

int main( void ){
    Pilha * p = NULL;

    p = pilha_cria( 5 );

    pilha_push(p, 'A');
    pilha_push(p, 'E');
    pilha_push(p, 'I');
    pilha_push(p, 'O');
    pilha_push(p, 'U');

    printf("PILHA ORIGINAL:\n");
    exibir_pilha(p);

    inverter_pilha( p );

    printf("PILHA INVERTIDA:\n");
    exibir_pilha(p);

    pilha_destruir( p );
    return 0;
}

Saída:
PILHA ORIGINAL:
    [4] U
    [3] O
    [2] I
    [1] E
    [0] A
PILHA INVERTIDA:
    [4] A
    [3] E
    [2] I
    [1] O
    [0] U

A: Você esqueceu de alocar p->c na função criadora de Pilhas, a pilha_cria. Como esse valor está vindo de uma área de memória alocada cruamente, ela terá necessariamente lixo de memória. Ocasionalmente esse lixo pode hipoteticamente falando apontar para um lugar que não estoure a exceção de falha de segmentação, mas isso é sorte.
Para corrigir, você pode definir na estrutura char c[50] OU EXCLUSIVO então, caso insista em usar memória dinâmica para esse trecho, no final de pilha_cria, chamar p->c = (char*) calloc(sizeof(char), N);

não misture ambas as abordagens acima; elas resolvem o problema de maneiras distintas e imiscíveis, tentar usá-las em conjunto gerará erro de compilação

O calloc vai alocar o espaço necessário com os bytes todos zerados, então creio que isso evite alguma porventura sujeira indesejada em p->c que pode gerar algum bug de difícil captura.

Aproveitando, sua função zerar_char não tem o efeito colateral desejado, sendo realmente inócua. O jeito como você está armazenando a palavra a ser invertida também está estranho, até mesmo errado. Tente zerar o índice de trabalho de c1 toda vida que você alcançar um ponto de inversão. Note também que, se a última letra não for espaço, não ocorrerá a inversão da última palavra, então seria adequado detectar casos assim e fazer a inversão ao final da última palavra armazenado em p->c.
Aproveitando mais uma vez, a estrutura que você está criando não é exatamente uma pilha: ela não segue o princípio LIFO, mas parece seguir FIFO (propriedade de fila). Evite usar nomes que denominam certos conceitos em situações distintas dos conceitos originais, isso vai gerar confusão e dificuldade de leitura.

Outro ponto interessante: é mais costumeiro em c declarar essas constantes mágicas numéricas como o seu N como sendo diretivas de pré-processamento; por exemplo, poderia se usar o seguinte no lugar de int N = 50;:
#define SIZE_MAX_PILHA 50

Cada abordagem tem suas características, cabe a você, como programador, distinguir. Como seu número N parecia uma constante mágica, sugeri deixar esse exemplo de boa prática (para desespero do @Maniero B-]) para que você possa refletir sobre o assunto no futuro.

iPhone Hacking Company's Server Falls Victim To Cyberattack
Cellebrite, the Israeli digital forensics firm rumored to have assisted the FBI in breaking the security of the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone, has stated that one of its servers has been hacked.
Cellebrite Data Forensics Company
According to The New York Times, Cellebrite has been the victim of a security breach of one of its servers. The digital forensics Israeli firm well-known for helping intelligence and law enforcement agencies to break into locked smartphones has itself fallen victim to hackers.
Cellebrite was allegedly used its digital forensic expertise to help the FBI with their San Bernardino shooting case. It is rumored that the FBI used Cellebrite's technology in order to bypass the passcode lock to gain entry and acquire data from shooter Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone 5c running iOS 9. However, neither the FBI nor Cellebrite has confirmed involvement with each other over the digital assistance.
Cellebrite Server Hacked
Technology news website Motherboard announced on Thursday, Jan. 12, that it had obtained 900 gigabytes of data belonging to the Israel-based company. Motherboard journalist Joseph Cox said that the 900 gigabytes of data have been given to him by an unidentified hacker that claimed they are stolen from Cellebrite's servers.
According to Apple Insider, Cox said in a series of messages posted to Twitter that most of the data consisted of technical information about the company's products, databases, and customer information. In an article, Cox also wrote in an article that the trove of data contained messages from authorities in the Arab Gulf, Turkey, and Russia.
A notice on Cellebrite's website confirms the data breach and explains that the hack took place on an external web server. Before taking steps to increase its security, the company is investigating the full extent of the data breach. The attacked server was used by Cellebrite to hold a "legacy database backup" of the company's end user license management system.

Swamp Fox: Birth of a Legend

1 Graphic Novel
2 Collector's Edtion
5 Creative Team
Graphic Novel[edit]
Swamp Fox: Birth of a Legend is a 150 page graphic novel that was written and drawn by Jonathan Myers. It features animals in the roles of the Revolutionary War characters, and follows the adventures of the patriotic hero, Francis Marion.
The graphic novel was independently published in black and white through the now defunct Ambition Studios in 2004. It was distributed nationally through Diamond Distribution as well. The graphic novel was an origin story and introduced the Swamp Fox character to readers. It was well received critically and has since garnered a modest following.
With the disbandment of Ambition Studios, Swamp Fox: Birth of a Legend remained a stand alone graphic novel. Myers' had plans to continue the concept as a series of graphic novels, but this idea was put on hold for four years. In the meantime the graphic novel was republished on line and in full color in 2009. Swamp Fox began to gain a growing cult following; particularly amongst fans of the anthropomorphic animal genre.
Collector's Edtion[edit]
Myers' received frequent letters and emails inquiring about the status of Swamp Fox and if his further adventures would ever be told. Moved by the sincerity and enthusiasm of the readers, Myers' set out to continue the adventures of the Swamp Fox. In 2009 Swamp Fox: Birth of a Legend was reprinted and released in full color, with additional material previously unpublished, as the Swamp Fox: Collector's Edition through Odyssey Illustrated Press. The re-release of this graphic novel was intended as a way to reignite interest in the Swamp Fox property, and herald the launch of a continuing series of children books entitled, Adventures of the Swamp Fox.
Swamp Fox: Birth of a Legend Synopsis
The year is 1775 and the events of Lexington and Concord have ignited the beginnings of what would become the American Revolutionary War. Far to the south in a region known as the Santee Valley there lives a certain red fox named, Francis Marion. Marion is a respected hero of the French and Indian War, a conflict between Great Britain and France for possession of the North American continent. The fox has since retired from the life of a soldier and has settled into the role of a humble planter. He has plans to court and wed the fair vixen, Mary Videau; but the escalation of patriotic fervor and rumors of rebellion threaten to derail his plans. Early on Marion is accused of being a British loyalist and sympathetic to the crown. He is reluctant to join an insurrection against Britain, as he served with many Red Coat soldiers during the previous French and Indian conflict. He hopes that the American Colonies can peacefully reestablish their ties to Britain. This, however, proves to be an unrealistic hope. Marion attempts to maintain peace in the Santee Valley between annoyed British soldiers and his angry neighbors. This proves to be futile and ultimately brings him to the attention of certain British officers in the area. General Cornwallis, leader of the British Army in the south, is concerned by the growing attitude of rebellion in the Santee Valley. He orders Sargent Venger to arrest all instigators of insurrection and have them tried and hanged for inciting treason. Several of Marion's neighbors are arrested by Venger and the red fox is forced to choose between maintaining the quiet life of a planter, or rescuing his friends from the noose. Being of good conscience, Marion sets into motion a daring rescue in which he engages Venger and his British soldiers in the Black Mingo swamp. During the incursion Venger's left eye is blinded by Marion. The Sargent survives the ordeal and relays the circumstances to General Cornwallis. The British General summons Colonel Banastre Tarleton and his legendary Dragoons. He orders the Dragoon leader to route out the traitors who escaped Venger and bring them to British justice. Tarleton is eager to oblige the General and regards Venger as a fool for allowing Marion to pull off his rescue. This event ignites a rivalry between the two soldiers that will prove problematic in the ultimate capture of Marion and his Bushwhacker militia. Tarleton attempts to capture Marion on many occasions, but the patriotic leader of the Bushwhackers proves to be very sly and elusive. Tarleton resorts to much more brutal tactics in his attempt to capture the hero, and the atrocity at Waxhaux occurs. This event backfires on Tarleton and many colonists join Marion's Bushwhacker militia. The Colonel grows increasingly frustrated with Marion and Tarleton ultimately gives him the title, Swamp Fox, and an American legend is born.
Swamp Fox/Francis Marion
Francis Marion is the heroic leader of the patriot militia known as the Bushwhackers. He knows all the swamps of the Santee Valley like the back of his paw. He is a cunning soldier and a seasoned veteran of guerrilla warfare. He is a handsome red fox who chooses his words carefully. He is slow to wrath, but quick to action. He is known as the legendary Swamp Fox to his adversaries, and is respected as an elusive tactician. Marion's goal is to bring the war in the south to a swift conclusion, while sparing as many lives on both sides as is possible.
Mary Videau
Mary Videau is the fairest vixen in the Santee Valley. She is also the apple of the Swamp Fox's eye. She frequently assists him with favors that help enable his missions against the British. Mary hopes to see a swift end to the war and wed her beloved patriot.
Colonel Banastre Tarleton
Colonel Banastre 'Bloody Ban' Tarleton is the ruthless and crafty leader of the elite Dragoon Cavalry. He will stop at no lengths to crush the colonial rebellion in the south. He is the dreaded nemesis of the Swamp Fox, and is feared by all in the Santee Valley. Tarleton is a masterful strategist and a respected officer in the British Army.

Commentaires: I have ordered 14 of these total. I used several around the perimeter along the ceiling of my camper, one on the deck lid to light up the trunk of my car, one under the hood, and a couple inside of the cabin of my car. These put out a lot of light, and are very easy to customize. These are setup on a series-parallel circuit. there are 3 leds per circuit, you can cut these to be just 3 leds per circuit. The only small issue I found, is the solder joint between the wiring to the printed circuit board is fragile, but if you can tin a wire with an iron, you can easily reconnect or connect new wiring to the circuit board. Both ends can be connected so you can daisy chain several of these together. its extremely convenient that these are 12V, and since they are LEDS, it doesn't matter if you use AC or DC power, but note: When using DC, they will not light if your polarity is reversed, but it will not harm the LEDS either way.
Commentaires: Best light fixture for the price. Very very bright. I am the site today to purchase several more. Thankks for being such a good company to do business with.
Commentaires: like I said I bought these lights to try on my solar power system. but even though they are 12volt lights I found that they get very hot running them on derect 12volt power or even if hooked to a cigarette lighter type plug. so now I'm not sure what to do with them. hate for them to get to hot and burn out or worse. cause a fire !!!
Commentaires: I ordered these lights to try on my solar power system. I ordered four. but only got 3 of them. I am very happy with the size and brightness . I will be ordering more.
Commentaires: Love this light bar, lots of possibilities to use it for. Cool design.
Commentaires: Good mounting potential the shape of the aluminum is good for more than one mounting angle.
Commentaires: I dislike that the power supply comes seperately.. But the price and length is good.

2 Way Relationship Quotes
Enjoy reading and share 44 famous quotes about 2 Way Relationship with everyone.
"Though everyone had been uniformly gracious with me throughout our visit, I couldnt shake the feeling that I was being vetted in some way and that Id already come up short. Peter was the one they wanted; I was merely the collateral—the boyfriend, the grad-school widow. I was accustomed to monopolizing Peters affection, but for the first time in our relationship, I felt like Id arrived at a meeting only to find all the seats at the table filled."
— Dan Lopez —
"The assessment of psychological drift, that is the way in which an undirected pedestrian tends to move about in a particular quarter of the town, tending to establish natural connections between places, the zones of influence of particular institutions and public services, and so forth. It may well be objected that these techniques are un-scientific, disorderly and too subjective, but the fact remains that the Situationists are studying the actual texture of towns and their relationship to human beings more intensively than most architects and in a more down-to-pavement manner than most town planners."
— Tom McDonough
"Though everyone had been uniformly gracious with me throughout our visit, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being vetted in some way and that I'd already come up short. Peter was the one they wanted; I was merely the collateral-the boyfriend, the grad-school widow. I was accustomed to monopolizing Peter's affection, but for the first time in our relationship, I felt like I'd arrived at a meeting only to find all the seats at the table filled."
— Dan Lopez
"It didn't matter how wonderful Andrew was and how much effort he was prepared to put into their relationship. While Lou didn't feel the same way, his love was only building a tower without foundations."
— Chris Manby
"I wanted to see everything. It was around the time I acquired language, or even before that time, when something happened that changed my relationship to the spin of the world. My concept of language, of what was possible with music was changed by this revelatory moment. It changed even the way I look at the sun."
— Joy Harjo
"It's kind of like this," Decker said: "You wake up in the middle of the night and you're dying for a glass of milk. So you stumble out of bed, stub your toe in the darkness, scream with pain, and limp your way to the refrigerator. You open it up and the light is brilliant. You're saved. Then you fold back the paper container, open up the milk, take a deep breath, and put it to your lips. Only
yhrch!
the milk is spoiled. Sure, you're bummed. You fold the thing close and put it back in the fridge. It's dark again. But as you're making your way to your lonely old bed, you think to yourself, Wait a minute, maybe that milk wasn't so bad. And I am still thirsty? So you do an about-face and go back to the fridge. The light warms you up again. You take a sip and yup, it's still spoiled. That, to me, is the fitting metaphor for most every relationship I've ever been in."
— Ethan Hawke
"Our relationship with literary characters, at least to those that exercise a certain attraction over us, rests in fact on a denial. We know perfectly well, on a conscious level, that these characters "do not exist," or in any case do not exist in the same way as do the inhabitants of the real world. But things manifest in an entirely different way on the unconscious level, which is interested not in the ontological differences between worlds but in the effect they produce on the psyche.
Every psychoanalyst knows how deeply a subject can be influenced, and even shaped, sometimes to the point of tragedy, by a fictional character and the sense of identification it gives rise to. This remark must first of all be understood as a reminder that we ourselves are usually fictional characters for other people [ ... ]"
— Pierre Bayard
"Sure. You want to be touched, inspired and made to feel alive. But a relationship is like a bridge where you meet other people half-way. That means if you want to be touched, inspired and made to feel alive, you have to be touching, inspiring and bring the fire of your aliveness to the union of your companionship."
"Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.
Love is overflowing joy.
Love is when you have seen that you are not separate from Existence.
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being.
Fear is the opposite of love. In love, one expands. In fear, one shrinks. In fear, one becomes closed. In love, one opens.
In fear, one doubts. In love, one trusts.
Do not be afraid, this Existence is not your enemy. This existence loves you, this existence is ready to support you in any way.
Trust and you will feel a new overflowing energy. That energy is love. That energy wants to bless the whole existence. Because of this energy, one feels blessed.
Love is a deep desire to bless the whole Existence."
— Swami Dhyan Giten
"But what is the sense in forever speculating what might have happened had such and such a moment turned out differently? One could presumably drive oneself to distraction in this way. In any case, while it is all very well to talk of 'turning points', one can surely only recognize such moments in retrospect. Naturally, when one looks back to such instances today, they may indeed take the appearance of being crucial, precious moments in one's life; but of course, at the time, this was not the impression one had. Rather, it was as though one had available a never-ending number of days, months, years in which to sort out the vagaries of one's relationship with Miss Kenton; an infinite number of further opportunities in which to remedy the effect of this or that misunderstanding. There was surely nothing to indicate at the time that such evidently small incidents would render whole dreams forever irredeemable."
— Kazuo Ishiguro
"Well, look at it this way," Robin reasoned as I sat with him and Geoff at their kitchen table that night, half-plastered from the pitcher of margarita they'd blended up. Was I going to have a tequila hangover in the morning? Oh, honey, you bet your sweet ass I was. And how many fucks did I give?
Not a one.
"Even if you were overreacting to read what you read into this guy's offer-which I don't think you were, though I doubt he actually thought it through enough to intend it to be read that way-you still have to ask yourself: What's in it for you, hanging around some motel room waiting for a married man to make a booty call? What benefit would you get out of that situation, or out of prolonging your relationship with him? He might not have meant it to be an insulting offer, but it was absolutely a one hundred percent selfish offer. There was no upside for you whatsoever, unless the sex really was just that amazing."
— Amelia C. Gormley
"I have noticed a curious bifurcation in outcome in the way romances are written by women et written by men - Love Story, The Bridges of Madison County, every James Bond tale ever penned, even the film named above - end with the woman either lost or dead. And the man free to love, or at least to have sex, again. Romances (in the modern genre sense) written by women end with the couple alive, together, and in a committed and at least potentially fertile relationship, ready to turn to the work of their world. In other words, men's romances are about love and death; women's romances are about love and life."
— Lois McMaster Bujold
"Not sure I get why this shit's a secret but you two bein' just a hookup is not where that's at. Unless you're going'for the all-time record of longest hookup, and, just a head's up, brother, there's another way people refer to that shit and it's called a relationship."
— Kristen Ashley
"There's a word for the first blush of youthful love free of desire. For longing to be with someone so much you would rather throw yourself to the tides than be without them. For the stale but steady relationship between faithful members of an arranged marriage. For how to feel about someone you thought was everything but ended up never feeling the same way about you. For the poison left over when you love someone and it ends so badly you cannot release the feelings. For the love between a mother and her children, a father and his children, a grandmother and her progeny, the love between two dear friends, the love that is the first building block of a lifelong affair. There's even a word for a love so devastating nothing before or after is ever seen the same."
— Kiersten White
"Elena, we have a business relationship which has profited us both immensely. Let's keep it that way. What was between us is part of past. Anastasia is my future, and I won't jeopardize it in any way, so cut the fucking crap."
— E.L. James
"It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values."
— Alice Waters
"No one can tell you what to expect or can offer a guide to grief. Because every relationship is so unique, no two people grieve the same way. And you have no idea how you are going to grieve till you are grieving."
— Alysia Reiner
"Let's put it this way: an object created by the human spirit and intellect, which means a significant object, is "significant" in that it points beyond itself, is an expression and exponent of a more universal spirit and intellect, of a whole world of feelings and ideas that have found a more or less perfect image of themselves in that object - by which the degree of its significance is then measured. Moreover, love for such an object is itself equally "significant." It says something about the person who feels it, it defines his relationship to the universe, to the world represented by the created object and, whether consciously or unconsciously, loved along with it."
— Thomas Mann
"Sometimes life was messy and got in the way. But wasn't that part of the beauty of falling in love and being in a relationship? You figured things out together as you grew, and faced the challenges that life enjoyed the hell out of throwing at you."
— J. Sterling
"It wasn't like there was some obvious change. Actually, the problem was more a lack of change. Nothing about her had changed - the way she spoke, her clothes, the topics she chose to talk about, her opinions - they were all the same as before. Their relationship was like a pendulum gradually grinding to a halt, and he felt out of synch."
— Haruki Murakami
"For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance."
— Nick Rahall
"You have to be a mindful eater. There has to be intention in what you do in your life if you're going to be happy and authentic. Food isn't supposed to be entertainment in the way that your kids, your work, and your relationship are."
— Jorge Cruise
"He wanted to hear her concerns and alleviate them, he wanted to hold her and kiss her and convince her that he would find a way to make their relationship work, no matter how hard that might be. He wanted to to make her hear his words: that he couldn't imagine a lofe without her,that his feelings for her were real. But most of all, he wanted to reassure himself that she felt the same way about him."
— Nicholas. Sparks
"Oh. My. Sweet. Lord," she gasped.
"If every time gets more intense, we'll burn out the relationship, he said hoarsely.
"But what a way to go." She nestled down into the crook of his arm when he shifted his weight to one side."
"Building a professional relationship on respect as opposed to affection is a very good idea. Running your art projects the way you'd run a dry-cleaning business is also a really good idea. You shouldn't go into work like you're going on a date, like you're hanging out with friends."
— Penn Jillette
"Your first novel is like your first relationship. You won't really understand the decisions you make until years later ... And you'll probably screw up the ending ... First love is amazing and wonderful, but a kind of panic underlies it, a sense of not knowing what you're doing. First novels are the same way ... You do the best you can. But remember, it's not going to be the most polished novel you ever write, or the wisest, or the best-selling. That would be a shame, after all, to peak with your first."
— Scott Westerfeld
"The only way you can do anything of value is to have the effort come out of non-doing and to let go of caring whether it will be of use or not. Otherwise, self-involvement and greediness can sneak in and distort your relationship to the work, or the work itself, so that it is off in some way, biased, impure, and ultimately not completely satisfying, even if it is good."
— Jon Kabat-Zinn
"For a woman the objective is often a committed relationship also known as the destination. For a men roadtrip on the way to the destination is often the more fun."
— Sherry Argov
"In our everyday garden grow the rosemary, juniper, ferns and plane trees, perfectly tangible and visible. For these plants that have an illusory relationship with us, which in no way alters their existentiality, we are merely an event, an accident, and our presence, which seems so solid, laden with gravity, is to them no more than a momentary void in motion through the air. Reality is a quality that belongs to them, and we can exercise no rights over it."
— Leo Lionni
"A Manifesto for Introverts
1. There's a word for 'people who are in their heads too much': thinkers.
2. Solitude is a catalyst for innovation.
3. The next generation of quiet kids can and must be raised to know their own strengths.
4. Sometimes it helps to be a pretend extrovert. There will always be time to be quiet later.
5. But in the long run, staying true to your temperament is key to finding work you love and work that matters.
6. One genuine new relationship is worth a fistful of business cards.
7. It's OK to cross the street to avoid making small talk.
8. 'Quiet leadership' is not an oxymoron.
9. Love is essential; gregariousness is optional.
10. 'In a gentle way, you can shake the world.' -Mahatma Gandhi"
— Susan Cain
"I truly believe in love, and I think that every relationship should start the way that our relationship started with our first love when we were 16, 17 or 18."
— Alex Pettyfer
"Surprise quality can be achieved in many ways. It may be produced by a certain stimulating geometrical relationship between elements in the picture or through the human interest of the situation photographed or by calling our attention to some commonplace but fascinating thing we have never noticed before or it can be achieved by looking at an everyday thing in a new interesting way."
— Alexey Brodovitch
"Supernatural hasn't spent a lot of time on relationship stories, and this is a really nice mechanism to do that without imposing that on the forward momentum of these other stories that we're telling. In the writers' room we tend to say, "We're never going to be able to give a hell or Purgatory as good as people's imaginations," so the instinct is normally not to go there. But, we went the other way this year and said, "We are going to go there," because there's a really, really strong character thing going on down there."
— Jeremy Carver
"I think it's satisfying for people to feel that that relationship is reciprocal in some way. The truth is, you do have a relationship with your fans, and there is a feedback loop there. And while you have to be careful not to write a show just for the superfans, that kind of feedback is really valuable."
— Matt Nix
"It is because of that balanced relationship to the moment that mindfulness serves as the platform for insight ... if we feel an emotion, for example, and struggle against it right away, there is not going to be a lot of learning going on. In the same way, if we are swamped by that emotion, overcome by it, there won't be enough space for there to be learning or insight."
— Sharon Salzberg
"The upsurge of Spirit is the only plausible way to stop the ecological destruction of our planet. Even people who have no interest in a communal solution to the distortions in our lives will have to face up [to] this ecological reality. Unless we transform our relationship with nature, we will destroy the preconditions for human life on this planet."
— Michael Lerner
"I have seen that community and a close relationship with the land can enrich human life beyond all comparison with material wealth or technological sophistication. I have learned that another way is possible."
— Helena Norberg-Hodge
"If grownups want to dress in Tudor costume, douse babies in water, intone over the dead and do strange things with wine and wafers, it is a free country. But for a Christian sect to claim ownership of the legal definition of a human relationship is way out of order."
— Simon Jenkins
"I don't want to make a show about AA because it's a personal experience for anybody who is a part of that. My relationship with it has changed over the years, and I wanted the show to reflect that in a real way."
— Will Arnett
"Another longstanding foreign policy flaw is the degree to which special interests dictate the way in which the "national interest" as a whole is defined and pursued ... America's important historic relationship with Israel has often led foreign policy decision-makers to defer reflexively to Israeli security assessments, and to replicate Israeli tactics, which, as the war in Lebanon last summer demonstrated, can turn out to be counter-productive."
— Samantha Power
"There's something very intimate about taking someone's work, turning it over and unpicking it. In the same way people have unique handwriting people have a sewing style. You do start building a fantasy relationship with the person."
— Matt Smith
"How would you describe the spiritual aroma of your home? The source of this aroma is the relationship between husband and wife. Many can fake an attempt at keeping God's standards in some external way. What we cannot fake is the resulting, distinctive aroma of pleasure to God. Most marriage books address the mere externals of marriage, without seeking to understand the heart issues. Godly marriages proceed from an obedient heart, and the greatest desire of an obedient heart is the glory of God, not the happiness of the household."
— Douglas Wilson
"I think our science is a marvelous tool. Of course it has its politics, its failings, its mistakes, like all other human endeavors, but I think the methodology of our science - using it to postulate and to use the proper approach of creating falsifiable hypotheses and then testing them to see if they ring true, and then progressing by finding the anomalies to our theoretical structure, and then improving our theoretical structure to take care and test the anomalies - is the way to go, because that helps us discover what the universe.is all about and our relationship to it."
— Edgar Mitchell
"By the time you've had a relationship with a horse for a while, there are characteristics in the way the horse behaves with you and around you and responds to you that are directly (related) to some of your traits as a human being ... whether it's insecurity or aggression or fear or hate."
— Buck Brannaman
"Marriage is a way to avoid intimacy. It is a trick to create a formal relationship. Intimacy is informal. If a marriage arises out of intimacy it is beautiful but if you are hoping that intimacy will arise out of marriage, you are hoping in vain. Of course, I know that many people, millions of people, have settled for marriage rather than for intimacy - because intimacy is growth and it is painful."
— Rajneesh

Creative celebrations with our friends at Bal Kendra School, Kathmandu.
Another great connection with smart, caring people sharing and helping. School founder Kiran Tewari hosted us, along with principal Bilamn Shayamun?, helped the teachers and students welcome us. We returned the favor by initiating a mural painting on the walls of the school's courtyard.
Peg Taylor, Greenheart artist, led the way, taking lyrics from our song 'We are the Light'* for the different sections of the wall to be painted, first outlining, then filling in with color and detail.

One of Dr. Ian Kupkee's colleagues took her dog, Finn, out in mid-June when it suddenly sprinted into the backyard. The South Florida veterinarian's co-worker noticed the 4-month-old Australian Shepherd was eyeing a toad and started smacking its lips.
Within minutes, the dog started showing signs of "being drugged," Kupkee said, so she rushed it to the animal clinic. During the car ride, the pet began having seizures.
Upon arriving at Sabal Chase Animal Clinic in Kendall, Florida, the dog received fluids and three separate doses of anti-seizure medication. Ice packs helped bring the animal's temperature down.
The incident is a common occurrence when dogs and Bufo toads interact, Kupkee said. The poisonous amphibian secretes a toxic white, gummy-like substance from glands behind its head when it feels threatened. Curious dogs intending to play with the toads may get taught a deadly lesson.
Also known as Cane toads, the Bufo toad is not native to the U.S. The species was introduced to Florida's sugar cane fields to control pests in 1936. Intentional and accidental releases caused them to spread. Those scattered throughout Florida's panhandle escaped from a zoo, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Pet dealers accidentally released them in South Florida, the Florida Wildlife Extension reported.
Bufo toad sightings have been reported in Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the USGS reported. Kupkee said the toads, which flourish in warm, humid climate, are also likely to be found in Georgia and Texas.
They often emerge after heavy rainfall and lay their eggs in still or slow-moving water.
And while this invasive species of amphibians pose no major threat to humans, it presents a danger to beloved pets, Kupkee said. Exposure to the toxin it produces can cause symptoms ranging from drooling and head-shaking to loss of coordination and convulsions. It can also kill your dog.
Kupkee notes that the first symptoms of a toxic toad encounter can be evident within five to 10 minutes of exposure.
He advises pet owners who suspect their dog may have been poisoned by a toxic toad to rinse the animal's mouth out with water and wipe the substance away from its lips and tongue. Dog owners should watch for panting, disorientation and dilated eyes — signs of toxicity — and get the pet to a doctor.
Pet owners, especially those living in areas where Cane toads are prevelant, should avoid low branches, long grass, letting their dog out without a leash and leaving food outside, Kupkee warned. They should also keep their dog away from objects that accumulate water, such as plant pots. He advised to keep dogs on a retractable leash, even while roaming the backyard.
"Dogs find the scent of this thing very attractive," Kupkee said. "The best preventive is don't leave the dog unattended."

Q: 10-fold cross validation on small number of examples I have a set of 100 examples evaluated using 10-fold cross validation, providing 94% classification accuracy on the test folds.
However, when I test the model on a different test set, it provides 0% accuracy.
Apparently, the model is overfitting, but why 10-fold cross validation does not indicate overfitting of the model?

A: Obtaining an accuracy of 0% would make me suspicious of anything else being wrong: the chances of getting 0% straight are likely quite low, and a test performance somewhere between your training set performance and random performance would be more reasonable. In such cases I would double check that the setup is correct.
My first suggestion would be to use repeated cross validation instead of cross validation (with a sufficient amount of repeats), and see if your performance estimates change. Look at the spread of performance across the repeats: this gives you a hint how likely you obtain a model from given training data that performs bad on new data. If you see such cases in your repeated CV performance, the same could be true with your test set. A second suggestion would be to check if your test data has known differences to the training data (e.g. different diversity captured/represented in the data: such could happen with different recording conditions between training and test set). It could be that the feature-target-relation is different in your training and test set.
BTW: the model fit and measured performance are influenced by a number of factors (beside those already mentioned), like: the amount of features, the amount of samples in the test set, the amount of classes do distinguish, and if those are balanced in the training and test set, and of course, the models types. Depending on those factors, obtaining a good CV performance but bad test performance could have many reasons. For example, if you evaluate multiple models on your training set and select the best performing one, overfitting can happen during model selection too. This could happen rather easily in your case due to the small test partition sizes of 10 samples each. The more possibilities you evaluate in such cases, the bigger the chances for one of them getting good results in CV by chance, even if they overfitted. But more detailed thoughts about this would probably require more information about your problem and current setup.
