8 large flat unpolished grey-black garden stones that are about 2.5" - 3.5"
This arrangement uses an usual combination of flowers, color and greenery available in the winter. The rectangular shape of the vase, and its material (glass) make this a modern vase. You can buy a vase like this (click here) This vase has thick glass, which makes it heavy. Always pick it up with both hands from the bottom, and set it down carefully. Never pick it up from the top, as holding it from the top could cause it to break .
The flat grey-black garden stones are used in modern and Asian floral arrangements. You can purchase them at floral supply stores, craft stores, or garden centers. If you're not familiar with garden stones, there are some pictures of them below. Sometimes I have found them at the beach or in the garden and when I do I pick them up. When you put these garden stones in the bottom of the vase, place them carefully. Never drop or pour them into a glass vase, as this could break the vase.
These tulips are available beginning in January. This arrangement still has the winter kale, but it has the first tulips of the season. The kale will provide the structure for this vase, as its stalks are stiff and its tops are full, while the tulips are floppy and challenging to control. This arrangement was started without the kale, but as you will see, because of the large opening at the top of the vase, the arrangement needed the structure of the kale.
The proportions in this arrangement are strongly horizontal, with the flowers coming just a few inches above the top of the vase. The ivory satin ribbon reinforces that horizontal line and repeats the color of the tulips above. Are you ready for a little challenge? Here we go.
Carefully place 8 garden stones in bottom of vase.
Start filling the vase with water.
Fill the water to this level, about 2.25" from top.
You need 2 doz. violet tulips, 1 doz. white tulips.
When you start the arrangement, trim each stem again.
Measure and cut, but don't cut leaves. We'll use them later.
Put leaves aside. Handle them with care. They bruise easily.
The leaves have a beautiful shape to them. Keep them.
Add leaves back into grouping some on both ends.
Place tulips in vase. Guide stems with your hands.
If droopy, cut again, so head's near top of vase.
Ah-ha, now we need 6 stems of kale.
Add 2 to the left, 2 to the right, and 2 to the back.
Tie ribbon. Pull loops horizontal, then tighten them.
Fold in half. Cut diagonally across. Use sharp scissors.
If tulips still look droopy,cut more off front tulips. I cut 3" off.

Explaining UK Parliament on Syria: Or, what did Stella say?
Posted on December 3, 2015 December 5, 2015 by jembendell
The UK's Parliament just voted to attack Daesh targets in Syria, which will involve bombing densely populated cities, and with no expressed plan for how this will enable decent people to retake control. The Kurdish forces arent anywhere near, the UK says it wont collaborate with the Syrian government, and the rebel groups are disparate and many allied officially or informally with Daesh. Maybe the secret plan is to secretly collaborate with Russia and the Syrian government, as that would be too awkward for the Government to admit given that they wanted to bomb the government army just a couple of years ago. So it's a bit of a mess.
Instead of the recent focus on airstrikes, Britain would have been best to make a concerted effort to show solidarity with the victims of terrorism in France and elsewhere by:
a) allying with other states on cutting funds and arms to Daesh
b) delivering better coordination of intelligence and policing across the EU
c) making amends for helping cause the rise of Daesh by accepting hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Iraqi refugees asap
So what happened?
Could it be that tabloid-regulated politicians, lacking context on commercial drivers of militarism, with a racist lesser-level of concern for the lives of Middle Eastern civilians, voted to be treated nicer on telly?
Well, we can only understand the politicians in the UK through understanding the role of mass media in the UK. The media has constantly sought to keep a focus on superficial and reactionary debate, relegating thoughtful analysis to a few columnists who have niche followings.
Some politicians feel these types of critiques of their thought processes to be churlish and and not respectful of the depth of their thinking. Yet it is not cynical, it is scientific. There is masses of research from social pyschology, linguistics and critical sociology that shows how dominant discourses are shaped through mass media and act on us at a subtle level so that we think we are coming up with our own ideas and feel good about ourselves. We create explanations and narratives to personally cope and progress within dominant narratives in our society. That is why education must always involve attempts at creating critical consciousness, so that more of us become aware of the way dominant duscourses, combined with interest in one's self esteem, shape our perceptions of issues.
So of course some politicians have an emotionally difficult time convincing themselves of ethical reasons for being able to look good on telly and tabloid. An apparently quite decent chap, Tim Farron looked particularly sweaty, as if different bits of his soul had been squabbling all night. Yet it does appear many politicians have voted suitably in line their own career strategies. For Conservative MPs that's easy, just stay within the herd of the Tory mainstream. In the case of Labour, some career trajectories require it to return to a wishy washy party of right wing foreign and economic policy with some slightly lefty social initiatives to get the party activists engaged and Guardian readers onside. Why respond to how the majority of one's constituents and party members are against something when you can switch the focus onto a few abusive people? I wonder if Stella and Chukka's future autobiographies could copy paste Blair's autobiography description of the anti-war electorate as a "demonic rabble". A greater critical consciousness amongst MPs might help them to realise what thought processes they are going through. Sadly most I meet want to talk about "narrative" as if what is right and true is what can be explained quickly to a journalist. Yet the question of narrative should come second, once you have worked out your views.
Some MPs have claimed that they were swayed by last minute oratory (as if they were neutral on fighting fascism before 930pm on December 2nd 2015). It's not a claim that stacks up if you look at their pre-debate focus on how to make any bombing as caring as possible and suggests once again that MPs play loose with the truth if they spot a handy narrative like "Hilary moved me" (not Clinton folks, we have our own 'warmongering' Hilary too :-)). It was quite depressing to see skills of oratory and rhetoric used in a mendacious way in Parliament today. Everything that Hilary Benn said could have led to a conclusion to do something helpful rather than counterproductive bombing without a credible plan. That MPs who voted for the Iraq invasion of 2003 and still havent apologised profusely and slopped off to the back benches, were able to step forward to influence views on Syria shows once again how remiss the mass media has been in holding rulers to account.
What is worse, they still get to pretend to know and respect international law! The UN Charter forbids military action against or within other member states unless invited by that member state, in this case by the Syrian government, or unless an explict resolution is passed mentioning chapter 7 of the Charter. The resolution 2249 says "take all necessary measures, in compliance with international law, in particular with the United Nations Charter" .. Yes, the UN Charter! None of the Security Council members mentioned military action in their comments on the resolution. I learned about this stuff as I was working at the UN in 2002 and 2003, when these matters were high on the agenda. So, as the Syrian government didnt request it, MPs voted for an illegal bombing. We know from the past 14 years that the Foreign Office plays fast and loose with international law… but MPs shoudnt' be so gullible, unless they want to be.
What is heartening is that despite propagandist mass media, the majority of Brits were against this action for the reason that to sacrifice civilians without having a coherent plan for how to achieve stability in Syria is an unethical judgement to make and likely counterproductive in our efforts against terrorism at home and abroad. Fortunately the lives of British service men and women arent likely to be endangered if good coordination is achieved with the other counties involved, but there is still a risk.
The other glimmer is that hundreds of MP voted against the suck-a-bomb-and-see plan, including the leader of the opposition. They are not cowed by the tabloids. Now the push from them and the public needs to be towards A, B, and C above, and to prepare against the racist hysteria and anti-democratic agenda that will be promoted when the next Daesh murders occur in the UK. We might also press for any strikes to be focused on oil exports, rather than in the cities.
A broader challenge is how to transform British media, as for all the talk of "strong leadership" from MPs and the media in the UK, we just witnessed how many of our politicians arent able to lead themselves, let alone others. So I remain convinced that those of us who mobilise critical social theory in our research, education and training, in all walks of life from politicians to business managers to the police, have important work to do.

On the French political scene manifested deja vu
analytics/
Weekend in France were the primaries of the socialist party. The victory was won by the former minister of education benoit amon. Now the socialists nominated him as their official candidate for the presidential election, which will be held in april. Concluded primaries almost formed a circle of applicants for the presidency of the french republic.
However, the socialists it is not important. In recent years, they catastrophically lost its former credibility with the voters. In Europe has degraded againclose left it the last election campaign. Then the french socialists were authoritative and charismatic leader dominique strauss-kahn. In 2007, president nicolas sarkozy of France nominated him to the high office of managing director of the international monetary fund.
President sarkozy was his interest in this appointment. In this way he delicately got rid of a serious rival in the political struggle. The candidacy of strauss-kahn went to the imf with no problems. The policy was a great experience in parliament and the french government, including minister of economy, finance and industry.
During the work of dominique strauss-kahn at the international monetary fund shocked the world the most serious financial crisis of the new century, largely due to the overheating of the U.S. Credit market. In the spring of 2011 at the annual meeting of the imf and the world bank dominique strauss-kahn made a ninety-minute analysis of what happened crisis. The rapporteur concluded shook high the congregation, "The" Washington consensus " (macroeconomic model that reflects the position and interests of the us administration, the imf, world bank and american centers) with its simplistic economic ideas and recipes collapsed during the global economic crisis and left behind. " this statement questioned the continued use of the us dollar as a world currency.
Such sedition the managing director of the imf is not easy. Very soon he was accused of rape of a hotel maid and is arrested. Interestingly, on bail of one million dollars, strauss-kahn was released only after his resignation from his post at the imf. France were preparing for another presidential choice, and the resignation of strauss-kahn was very helpful for the socialists, who had all the chances of success.
But retired officials are not allowed to occupy the vacated political niche. Followed by new accusations of pimping and pandering, turning to dust the political credibility of dominique strauss-kahn, even in the most chaste of France. His fall will stop at the paris institute of political studies, where strauss-kahn will become a professor. After three years with a retired officer will be cleared, and 57% of those surveyed by the csa institute, the french will come to the conclusion that it has removed a potential candidate for the french presidency, inconvenient to the americans.
Those elections were won by the socialist francois hollande. He has made a huge leap from the post of mayor of the town of tulle and president of the general council of the corrèze department for the highest public office in France. Today, five years later, this man became almost comical figure with a rating close to zero values. Hollande did not even dare to nominate his candidacy for a new term.
Incompetent policies of the french president is now left with no chances of success and nominating the socialist party. Experts don't see their candidate on the first round. However, the reasons here not only in the person of hollande. In recent years, the European left is far removed from its traditional policy aimed at protecting social justice and the interests of the working people.
Now left protecting minorities — national, sexual, representing the traditional culture and faith, and so the interests and rights of the public have become a focus of policy of the french socialists. Suffice it to recall how the present government, so as not to offend the feelings of the lgbt community, coined the terms "Parent" and "Parent b", instead of the usual "Mom" and "Dad. " France then came out in protest on the street, but hollande with his decision not retreated. It should be noted that the french socialists are not alone in the perversion of traditional morality and the introduction of certain "European values". Feeds of news are regularly surprise the world news.
Here, for example, Germany. Here after christmas institute of studying of public opinion forsa conducted a survey on the significance of this holiday for the germans. It turned out that one out of every 10 respondents did not know about the birth of christ and about the true reason for the holiday. Pleased with the world of Britain.
At the end of last week, the daily mail reported that the british medical association has produced for the hospitals of the kingdom "The guide to effective communication". In the methodological document doctors for fear of insulting transgender people banned the use of the term "Expectant mother" for the pending birth of women. The association recommends the use of the other "Pregnant men". In short, the french socialists in their policies comply with Europe's new-fangled trends, and even run ahead.
For example, the winner of the primaries benoit hamon promised the french to legalize soft drugs. At the first stage it will be marijuana. Come in scandals is no accident that voters were once again to pay close attention to the politicians with traditional views. In early january, sociological institute elabe published its forecast of the outcome of the first round of presidential elections in France.
Sociologists call the favorite candidate from the party "Union for a popular movement" (aka "Republicans") françois fillon. He needs to win in the first round. The second place researchers from elabe designate the leader of the party "National front" marine le pen. According to sociologists, these policies should play among themselves the main prize — the post of president of the french republic.
Other participants of the election race will be the only extras of favorites. Close to them the result can show only independent candidate emmanuel Macron, a former economy minister in the government of socialists. Favorites (fillon and le pen) — politics in France is known, not once have participated in various grade elections. There is a certain commonality in their political plans.
Both favour the development of cooperation with russia, limiting migration, the government bureaucracy, the eu and revision of the relations with the usa. All this is thoroughly reflected the researchers elabe, commented in the local media. Everyone thought that the election of the president of France in 2017 is almost devoid of intrigue and doomed to a predictable result. In late january, the intrigue is still there.
Last wednesday of the newspaper le canard enchaine accused françois fillon, that when he was a deputy of the national assembly he added the wife of his assistant. Penelope fillon no duties were not performed, but for several years, received as payment for approximately 600 thousand euros. It should be noted, the story told le canard enchaine, fairly typical of modern parliaments of many countries. In the parliamentary environment it is normal practice to take an assistant or assistants, spouses and close relatives.
But the case with fillon in a short time turned into a scandal. The rating of the candidate from "Republican" immediately sank. Moreover, on monday the couple fillon five hours testifying in the prosecutor's office. On tuesday in parliament was raided.
Seized documents related to the activities of françois fillon. The politician is still correct. Calls the scandal "A political move", but the local media, as if anticipating an unpleasant visit to the interchange, prudently ceased to call him the favorite in the presidential race. At the end of the week, the sociologists from kantar conducted a new survey.
He showed that the scandal has seriously affected the position of fillon. A rating of "Republican" has fallen to 22 percent. To it with a lag of percent tightened emmanuel Macron. The lead went to marine le pen.
She began to intend the victory in the first round with about 25 percent of the vote. It was not until saturday. 27 jan breathed the fervor of a new scandal. On this day in the french press there were reports that the European parliament demanded that le pen to return illegally obtained 340 thousand euros.
Is the salary of its two parliamentary assistants. According to officials of the European parliament, the staff of le pen paid positions occupied by the fictitious. In fact, they worked in the headquarters of the party "National front". Blow to favorites are very similar to the story of the dominique strauss-kahn, justified three years after the presidential election.
How will this time experts not undertake to predict, though, and share the new calculations. Against the background of scandals stars out of guardian for marijuana benoit amon rose to 15 percent. This means that by combining the electorate of amun and Macron one of them, you can expect to win in the second round. Whatever it was, there — "Managed democracy", when undesirable for elite candidates could be compromised in the eyes of voters or delivered in a losing situation.
So was the case five years ago. Then France got a president whose reign has created the country a while insurmountable problems. Deja vu.

When confronted with more questions about lifting Curt Schilling in Game 4, Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly insisted yesterday he made the right move.
Brenly admitted that Game 7 affected his thought process on Wednesday. This goes against the theory Brenly said he believes in: Win tonight's game and worry about another later.
As a broadcaster, Brenly said he watched Joe Torre be very successful following this thought. Taking out Schilling, though, showed he isn't a true believer.
As the Diamondbacks arrive in Phoenix today for tomorrow's Game 6, human nature predicts that some of the players' minds would stay in New York, replaying what happened in Tuesday night's incredible 10-inning 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
In their private thoughts, some D'backs must have questioned if Schilling should've been allowed to finish the game. Schilling was pitching on three games rest and in the midst of one of the best postseason's ever. He'd thrown only 88 pitches in seven innings.
Brenly turned to Kim for the final six outs. Tino Martinez and Derek Jeter turned the game into a Yankee win. This had many questioning Brenly's decision. Brenly second-guessed the second-guessers.
"It becomes the lowest form of journalism," said Brenly, who worked last year's World Series as a broadcaster.
Schilling allegedly spoke differently to his catcher Damian Miller. Miller said Schilling told him he was done. Schilling denied this was true.
Wherever the truth stands, the call resided with Brenly. Brenly had no misgivings about the decision he made, despite the results.
"I thought he had really spent himself in the seventh inning," Brenly said.


Soule Park Hole 10O / 10N: This par 3 boasts the only lake on the course. From the elevated tee, the danger is very evident as the water starts at the right front of the green and wraps around the right side. The tendency is for the golfer to pull their shot left to avoid the trouble, but the chip from their must climb a slope to the green, which makes par tough to get. The water was moved closer for the new course and the green is smaller, so much tougher to hit.
Soule Park Hole 15O / 15N: The best hole on the back nine features a wide-open drive. However, the second shot must clear the river in order to hit a green that features trouble all around it. The length of the hole on the new course makes it very difficult.
Can't get enough Soule Park reviews?


You are an archer, who must aim and fire an arrow at another archer. The object of the game is to draw your bow and try to hit your target before he hits you. Play as a solo or with a computer. Use your skills and remember each shot may be your last… Enjoy!

Winston Churchill by Walter Richard Sickert, oil on canvas, 1927. © National Portrait Gallery, London
Affiliate and Chapter Events
Churchill sought and accepted constructive criticism – in the art of painting, at least – and enjoyed experimenting with new media and techniques. Sir John Lavery and his wife Hazel were not the only influences on Churchill's painting style. During the 1920s, when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, Churchill took advice on painting from Walter Sickert, who passed on his enthusiasm for Degas, Corot and Constable. As well as scrutinising the works of these painters, Churchill also carefully studied and absorbed the work of others; J. M. W. Turner, Camille Pissarro (whom Clementine had met in Paris), Paul Maze (the Anglo-French painter whom the Churchills called 'Cher Maître'), John Singer Sargent (who had painted his mother's portrait), the sea painter Julius Olsson and William Nicholson. Many of them visited Chartwell, where he did much of his 'daubing', and Paul Maze accompanied him on many of his painting trips.
'Have not Manet and Monet, Cézanne and Matisse, rendered to painting something of the same service which Keats and Shelley gave to poetry after the solemn and ceremonious literary perfections of the eighteenth century? They have brought back to the pictorial art a new draught of joie de vivre; and the beauty of their work is instinct with gaiety, and floats in sparkling air. I do not expect these masters would particularly appreciate my defence, but I must avow an increasing attraction to their work.'

Retrospective correction of physiological field fluctuations in high-field brain MRI using concurrent field monitoring.
Vannesjo SJ., Wilm BJ., Duerst Y., Gross S., Brunner DO., Dietrich BE., Schmid T., Barmet C., Pruessmann KP.
PURPOSE: Magnetic field fluctuations caused by subject motion, such as breathing or limb motion, can degrade image quality in brain MRI, especially at high field strengths. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of retrospectively correcting for such physiological field perturbations based on concurrent field monitoring. THEORY AND METHODS: High-resolution T2*-weighted gradient-echo images of the brain were acquired at 7T with subjects performing different breathing and hand movement patterns. Field monitoring with a set of (19) F NMR probes distributed around the head was performed in two variants: concurrently with imaging or as a single field measurement per readout. The measured field fluctuations were then accounted for in the image reconstruction. RESULTS: Significant field fluctuations due to motion were observed in all subjects, resulting in severe artifacts in uncorrected images. The artifacts were largely removed by reconstruction based on field monitoring. Accounting for field perturbations up to the 1st spatial order was generally sufficient to recover good image quality. CONCLUSIONS: It has been demonstrated that artifacts due to physiologically induced dynamic field perturbations can be greatly reduced by retrospective image correction based on field monitoring. The necessity to perform such correction is greatest at high fields and for field-sensitive techniques such as T2*-weighted imaging.

How to use iPhone X
How to insert SIM in iPhone X
Before turning on your iPhone X and find out how to use it, you have to insert a SIM inside it. The procedure to follow is similar to what I showed you in the past in my guide on how to insert iPhone SIM cards.
All you have to do is take the metal paper clip contained in the phone package (in the white card), insert it into the hole on the right side of the iPhone and pull out the SIM drawer. At this point, take your card (which must be in Nano-SIM), fit it into its housing and put the drawer back in its place.
How to turn on iPhone X
Once the SIM has been inserted into the iPhone, you must turn it on by pressing and holding the right side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Easier than that ?!
How to do the initial setup of iPhone X
Once the iPhone X is turned on, you can go to its initial setup. Choose, therefore, the language in which to use the device, indicates the paese where you are and choose whether to use the quick setup, approaching another iPhone (or iPad) equipped with iOS 11 to the device, or whether to continue with the manual configuration.
Next, you need to connect to one WIFI network, you need to configure the Face ID (you will find more information on this in the next chapter of the tutorial) and configure a unlock code for the phone. With that done, choose whether to set up your iPhone X as a new deviceis restore data from iCloud or iTunes backups or whether to import data from a Android device.
Finally, log in with yours Apple ID (or create an Apple ID by tapping on the appropriate item), configure Crab, Apple Pay and iCloud keychain (to store and synchronize passwords via the Safari browser), choose whether or not to share the usage statistics iPhone with Apple and third-party developers and enjoy your new iPhone!
How to set up Face ID
One of the main innovations introduced by Apple with iPhone X is the Face ID, the facial recognition system that allows you to unlock your phone, make purchases and authenticate yourself in various applications using your face. It also works in the dark, if you change your look or if you wear glasses or contact lenses, as long as you are about 25-50 cm from the iPhone, do not cover parts of the face and look towards the TrueDepth camera, that is the front camera of the iPhone X which is located in the central notch.
If you haven't configured Face ID during the initial iOS setup, you can fix it by going to the menu Settings> Face ID and passcode> Set up Face ID (you will need to type in the iPhone unlock code). On the next screen, you have to press the button Configure Face ID, Then Start and follow the simple on-screen instructions. Make sure, therefore, that your face is in the center of the circle shown on the iPhone display and move your head clockwise, so that all the lines are colored green.
After the first scan of the face, presses the button Continue and make a second rotation of the following the instructions on the screen. Next, hit the button end and, if necessary, set a unlock code for your iPhone (the code is used to unlock the phone if face recognition is not possible).
Face ID improves over time and learns to recognize the user faster and more accurately. In any case, if you encounter problems in its operation, you can reset it and perform a new scan of the face by going to the menu Settings> Face ID and passcode iOS, by typing the iPhone unlock code and pressing the item first Initialize Face ID and then Configure Face ID.
On the same screen, you can also choose whether to enable Face ID for unlock the iPhone, pay with Apple Pay, authenticate yourself in iTunes Store and App Store and take advantage of the Safari autofill. Also, by moving on ON or on OFF the function lever Request to look towards Face ID, you can set face recognition to require or not a gaze directed at the TrueDepth camera.
Gaze recognition (which I highly recommend you keep active) also allows you to hide the content of the notifications displayed on the lock screen until the user looks towards the TrueDepth camera. To turn this feature on or off, you can go to the menu Settings> Notifications> Show Previews and choose a setting from Everlasting, When unlocked e Mai.
How to unlock iPhone X and access the Home screen
After configuring the Face ID, you can unlock iPhone X by simply lifting it or touching its screen (so as to turn on the display), making you "see" by the front camera and swiping from the bottom of the screen upwards. Unlocking the device via Face ID is signaled by opening the padlock at the top.
Alternatively, if you want to unlock the iPhone X using the classic security code, do not let yourself be "seen" by the front camera of the device, swipe from the bottom of the screen upwards and press the button Use code.
When you are using an app, to return to the Home Screen of iOS, make one swipe from bottom to top on virtual Home button, which is at the bottom of the screen. The same gesture can also be used to return to the first screen of the home screen.
How to use Siri on iPhone X
The absence of the Home button has led Apple to rethink the way to call Siri as well. To take advantage of the virtual assistant of the Cupertino giant on the iPhone X, you must in fact hold down the right side button until the message appears on the screen "How can I help you?".
Alternatively, if on the menu Settings> Siri and Search of iOS you have activated the lever for the option Hey Siri, you can recite the phrase aloud "Hey Siri" while you are near your iPhone X (even when the device screen is off). If you need more information on how to talk to Siri, feel free to consult my tutorial about it.
How to use multitasking on iPhone X
Another function that has undergone a radical change on the iPhone X, due to the removal of the Home button, is that of multitasking. To bring up the menu with the list of open apps on the iPhone X, you must in fact run one swipe from the bottom of the screen towards the center, hold the finger pressed, wait for the appearance of application previews and carry out a slight swipe to the right.
Subsequently, to force the closure of the apps (an operation which, as I have already explained to you in my tutorial on how to close the apps on iPhone X, is only useful in case of freeze or malfunction of the same), you have to make a long tap on their previews and drag the latter upwards or, alternatively, press the button negative (-) lead which appears on their miniatures.
To switch between apps, however, you can simply do one swipe from left to right (to open the previous app) or one swipe from right to left (to open the next app) on the virtual Home button located at the bottom of the screen.
How to view notification center and control center on iPhone X
With the introduction of the notch (the "notch" located at the top center on the iPhone X screen) and the virtual Home button, Apple also had to change the gestures necessary to recall the notification center and control center of iOS.
To call up the notification center iPhone X, you need to swipe from the top left corner of the screen to the bottom. To call up the control center (the one with the switches to activate and deactivate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flashlight, etc.), instead, you have to swipe from the top right corner of the screen to the bottom.
You can choose which icons to display in the iOS control center by going to the menu Settings> Control Center> Customize Controls.
How to view widgets and Spotlight on iPhone X
Call up the menu widget and the search function (Spotlight) on the iPhone X is really that simple. To access the widget list, you can run one swipe left to right in the lock screen or on the first screen of the home screen. To access the search function, however, you can use the bar on the widget screen or make one swipe from the center of the screen to the bottom on any page of the home screen.
You can choose which apps to include in the Spotlight search by going to the menu Settings> Siri and search, while you can add or remove items from the widget screen by pressing the button Modification placed at the bottom of the latter and then on the button capacitor positive (+) lead, top left.
It was used iOS 14 or later, you can move the widgets on the Home screen by making a long tap on them and then dragging them to the page you prefer.
How to install apps on iPhone X
The failure to implement Touch ID on the iPhone X also made it necessary to change the way in which the download or purchase of an app from the App Store is confirmed.
To proceed with the download of an application on iPhone X, you must in fact find it in theApp Store, select its icon, press the button Get and confirm by pressing twice in a row on the right side button and making yourself recognized by Face ID (then looking towards the front camera of the device).
How to use Apple Pay on iPhone X
Another procedure that has changed on the iPhone X due to the absence of the Touch ID is that relating to payments with Apple Pay. To make a payment with Apple Pay on iPhone X, you need to access your digital wallet by pressing the right side button for two consecutive times, after which you must be recognized by the Face ID (looking towards the front camera of the phone) and you have to bring the smartphone to the POS, taking care to select the payment card you want to use.
If you don't know how to add a card to Apple Pay, I invite you to check out my tutorials on how to use Apple Pay in the city and how iPhone Wallet works.
How to use the Animoji of iPhone X
The TrueDepth camera of the iPhone X also allows you to make some Animoji, that is, animated emojis that reproduce their expressions and facial movements on the screen.
To send an Animoji with iPhone X, open the app Messages of iOS, select the conversation in which to insert your "smiley" and first press the icon of theApp Store placed at the bottom left and then on that of the little monkey that appears at the bottom of the screen. At this point, select the Animoji you want to use (eg the lion or the unicorn) from the left sidebar and press the button Rec to start recording your movements. In addition to your movements, your voice will also be recorded.
Pressing on gray dash located above the Animoji, you can expand the view of the latter to full screen. For best results, remember to stand 25-50cm away from the iPhone X's front camera and make sure you are in a well-lit environment.
When the operation is completed, press the button Stop, then on up arrow and choose whether to confirm the sending of the Animoji or whether to add a comment to it and then proceed with its forwarding.
You can also send Animoji to non-iPhone X owners, but only through the app Messages of iOS, not via WhatsApp, Messenger or other instant messaging systems (unless you turn them into videos using third-party apps).
How to use iPhone X with one hand
iPhone X, like other iPhone models, includes two features that make it easier to use the phone with one hand: the first is called Easy access and allows you to "lower" the contents displayed on the screen, so that they are always within your thumb's reach; the second is called Single-handed keyboard and, instead, it allows you to "press" the keyboard to the right or left to allow use with one hand.
To activate the mode Easy access on iPhone X, you must first go to the menu Settings> General> Accessibility I will post your ON the appropriate lever. Then, to scroll down on the screen, you need to swipe from top to bottom on the phone's virtual Home button.
To activate the single hand keyboardinstead, you have to call up the iOS keyboard, hold down your finger on the button related to emoji (the emoticon located at the bottom left) and select the icon of keyboard tiled left or right from the menu that opens (depending on whether you want to use the keyboard with your left or right hand).
How to take screenshots on iPhone X
If you want to capture the screen of your iPhone X, you just have to press the keys at the same time volume up and right side button: the screen will turn white for a moment and you will see the thumbnail of the screenshot taken in the lower left corner of the screen.
By tapping on the miniature in question, a menu will open through which you can edit the captured screenshot (using the pencil, the lasso and the other editing tools listed below) and share it (via the square icon with the arrow inside). Then pressing the button end you can choose whether to save the screenshot in the Photos app or to delete it from the memory of your "iPhone by".
How to turn off iPhone X
Turn off iPhone X it's really that simple: hold down the right side button and a key of your choice between volume up and volume down for a few seconds, wait for the toggle to appear on the screen slide to turn off and drag it from left to right.
Alternatively, if you prefer, access the menu Settings iOS (the gear icon on the home screen), go to Generali and select the item Switch off which is at the bottom of the screen.
If your iPhone X no longer responds to commands, you can force it to shut down by pressing the key volume up, then that volume down and finally holding down the right side button until the screen turns black.
How to put iPhone X into DFU mode
La DFU mode (acronym for Device Firmware Update) is a boot mode of iPhones that allows you to restore or update the latter by bypassing their boot loader: this allows you to bypass any problems that prevent iOS from starting correctly and to completely eliminate the jailbreak, as you I also explained in my tutorial on how to remove the jailbreak.
Activating DFU mode on iPhone X is not easy and involves a series of steps that differ greatly from those required on iPhone 7/7 Plus or earlier: you must first connect the "iPhone by" to the computer, then you need to start iTunes and quickly press the keys volume up, volume down and right side button.
Pressing the right side button must be maintained until the screen turns black. Next, you have to release all the keys, keep the keys pressed volume up e right side button for 5 seconds, release the right side button and wait for iTunes to show the message about the presence of a device in recovery mode. If the iPhone screen does not remain off, the procedure must be repeated.
For more information on DFU mode and its use on various iPhone models, read my tutorial on how to put iPhone into DFU.

Helsinki Photomedia is a big (140 participants) international photography research conference which is now organized here for the first time, and will continue every second year. We hope that it will become an important venue for photography researchers.
Charlotte Cotton: Media and Mediums: photography's place in culture.
Wednesday, March 28, 13:15 – 15:00, Sampo Auditorium.
This lecture considers the contemporary impact of the past forty years of advocacy for photography's place in cultural institu- tions. This lecture considers the mitigating circumstances that shape the possible future of photography as a museological subject including the rise of amateur or crowd-sourced image-making, the popularity of 'interdisciplinary' working methods in cultural institutions and the impending retirement of the first generation of photography curators. Cotton explores the redundancies and potential offered at this distinctly mercurial epoch in photography's history.
Thursday, March 29, 17:00–18:30, Sampo Auditorium.
The encounter between the photographed persons and the person holding a camera is no less important than the one between the spectators and the photograph. These two encounters take place in two different realms. Although the link between them is far from linear – and sometimes circular – to hypothesize about its existence is extremely helpful in situations where photographs are missing. In my lecture i'll present two types of missing images – "untaken photograph", "unshowable photograph".
Friday, March 30, 9:00-10:30, Sampo Auditorium.
The new modes of distributing photographic images offer an expanded forum in which to re-consider the representational value of the human form. Whether it is in the different images of 'the people' or the 'individual', the face is enmeshed in a politics of visibility, and conflictual identificatory practices. Given the long and now vast history of the photographic description of human bodies and, in particular, the human face, this paper will focus on particular case studies, contemporary and historical, to draw out the critical issues of their production in relation to their circulation.

Title: CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION: VIEWS OF BARBADIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN
Journal: Child Abuse and Neglect Volume:18 Issue:4 Dated:(April 1994) Pages:377- 386
Author(s): S Anderson; M A Payne
Type: Survey
Format: Article
Annotation: The attitudes of elementary school children in Barbados toward corporal punishment were surveyed.
Abstract: Corporal punishment is permitted in Barbadian schools. In 1990, a questionnaire was administered to 290 Barbadian top-rate students (125 boys, 165 girls) aged 10 and 11. About three-quarters said they approved of the use of flogging/caning on students in their own age bracket (7 to 11 years old); half approved of the practice on 11- to 16- year-olds; and just under one-third considered it appropriate for 5- to 7-year-olds. There were no significant gender differences. However, the students considered corporal punishment unfair when used indiscriminately for all offenses, or as chastisement for poor academic performance, or when insufficient care is taken to single out actual culprits. As in previous studies, those least likely to be flogged themselves were least likely to think that such punishment was overused. Unlike in other studies, the students did show preference for a notion that only the head teacher should be allowed to administer flogging. This was due in part to an acceptance of flogging as a general "ritual of authority," and fear of the head teacher as a particularly hard flogger. It is speculated that rates of approval would be lower among lesser students. 5 tables, 18 references

New Delhi, November 25, 2017: A study on the Indian ACE (Appliance and Consumer Electronics) market by PwC finds that it is expected to grow at a rate of 10% by 2022 and hass the potential to be one of fastest growing ACE markets in the world, not only in terms of consumption, but also manufacturing and job creation.
Several factors are expected to drive the growth of this segment including the emerging middle class, rising disposable incomes and progressive government reforms such as Digital India, Make in India and the Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile based governance.
However, a key challenge for the ACE market continues to be the low domestic cumulative value addition in the production cycle, which is less than 40% for most new age ACE products and 7% for smartphones, far lower than the global average. Further, nearly 84% of the participants surveyed in this report stated that their overall domestic value add in production was less than 50%. This can be attributed to a limited domestic component ecosystem, high cost of finance and power, and inefficient infrastructure.
Creating large scale demand by easing the tax structure and encouraging financing firms to provide easy consumer finance. In addition, we need to tap the export market by reducing the paper work for exports, increasing the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) incentives for high domestic value-added products and expanding the free trade coverage to export to attractive geographies such as Africa.
Making domestic manufacturing cost competive by lowering the cost of capital, creating a phased manufacturing plan for ACE products (similar to that for mobile phones) in which incentives will be linked to domestic value addition in India and ensuring low sourcing costs through development of a good supplier ecosystem.
Making dometic maunufacturing easy by providing easy access to skilled manpower, providing better connectivity through roads and railways to reduce transit time and logistics costs on key industrial corridors and creating a strong intellectual property rights framework for IoT, among others.
With adoption of these structural reforms and innovation, the Indian ACE manufacturing industry can aim to increase value add by 2-3x by 2022. The growing domestic demand and the rising labor costs in alternative markets can lead to an increase in the number of jobs in this sector by more than 1.5-2x.
The report is based on inputs from over 4 C-suite executives of leading ACE players in India.

"Few crooning rappers have his polish, resonance, and soul." – SPIN
The Song:
Morray's skill with melody, sharp wordplay, and knack for emotional resonance makes him one of the rap game's most exciting newcomers. Continuing his lightning quick rise to prominence, Morray shares "Dreamland," a heart-wrenching new single. Marked by ringing pianos and Morray's church-trained vocal runs, "Dreamland" is the artist's pained recollection of growing up in poverty, and the lasting trauma caused by his experiences. The Fayetteville, NC native recalls Christmases and birthdays without gifts, living in motels, and sleeping on "some carpet cuz its better than the pavement.
In the track's accompanying video, directed by Christian Breslauer (Roddy Ricch's "The Box," Lil Baby's "Errybody" videos), Morray looks back at his younger self, from his early run-ins with the law to rough times at home. He ultimately takes the place as his mother's defender as she faces domestic violence, further cementing the difficulty of his situation as a youth and solidifying his dreams to change his situation using his musical ability. Thanks to his game-changing talent, showcased on "Dreamland" and his breakout hit "Quicksand," the Pick Six Records artist is on the cusp of leading the life of his dreams.
Morray made massive waves with his debut single "Quicksand." Built around a bluesy minor-key guitar loop, "Quicksand" showcases the young rapper's limitless array of lyrical and vocal weapons, telling the story of his desire to escape difficult circumstances with lightning quick triplets, syncopated counter-rhythms, ultra-smooth melodies, and assonant internal rhymes. Released on October 30th, the "Quicksand" video was an instant sensation, drawing praise from across the industry and the internet. In its first month of release, "Quicksand" recently reached #4 on YouTube's Trending chart and has generated almost 8 million views on YouTube, not to mention nearly 3 million Spotify streams to date, with inclusions in the Most Necessary, The Realest Down South, and Fresh Finds playlists. "Quicksand" earned powerful co-signs from the likes of Jay-Z, who listed "Quicksand" as one of his favorite songs of 2020, fellow North Carolinian J. Cole, superstar DJ Marshmello, rap icon Rick Ross, and more.
More recently, Morray proved that he had staying power with the ragged, soulful "Switched Up" and the tough-talking, Complex-premiered "Low Key." As the calendar turns to 2021, Morray looks to keep his momentum going with more music, including an upcoming project. Stay tuned…the artist is just getting started.

The World VMax (Mod. V-629A) is a vertical "hands in" hand dryer. This surface-mounted unit is high-speed, low-noise, and energy-efficient. With a 25% larger hand opening than the competition, using the VMax truly is a touchless operation. Although the VMax is a touch-free, anti-microbial additives are integrated into the external surface, making it ultra-hygienic. As the user places his hands into the unit (without ever touching any surface), the infra-red sensors detect the hands. Once the user's hands are removed, the dryer automatically turns off. Rather than blowing air over hands & blowing water into the floor & wall, the VMax has a drain incorporated into its hand drying cavity. The droplets of water blown off a user's hands are captured in a hygienic drainage tray, leaving the dryer, the wall, & the floor free of moisture and water marks. Hands are fully dry in approx. 12 seconds, but the actual length of the run cycle is determined by the user. The energy-efficient motor can produce an air velocity of 29,480 LFM or 335 mph and an air volume of 85 cubic feet per minute, while producing low sound levels. The faster dry time means less electricity is used. And since no heating element is required, the World VMax consumes considerably less energy than warm air hand dryers that work on the concept of evaporation. The powerful universal brush type motor spins at the rate of 35,000 times a minute while only requiring 1200 watts to do so. The VMax motor is powerful enough to draw all of its air through a dense, replaceable HEPA filter (with an odor neutralizing tablet) prior to ever touching the user's hands. The air this unit returns to the washroom is actually cleaner than the air it draws in. The VMax features an intelligent maintenance system; the attractive LED display indicates when to empty the water tray and change the HEPA filter. The silver-gray, high-impact Polycarbonate ABS cover is both durable and vandal resistant. Similar to the color molded bumpers found on today's automobiles, the durable, scratch-resistant plastic bounces back to its original form (even after a significant impact) free of damage. Unique among all vertical hands-in, surface-mounted hand dryers, the VMax comes prewired with a polarized wall plug, eliminating the need to hard wire. Simple utilize the included mounting bracket to adhere the unit to the wall surface and plug the preinstalled flexible power cord into a nearby standard 120VAC wall socket. When properly installed, this dryer complies with the highest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. Mounting instructions and warranty information are included.


Still, the roundup requires lots of space. So I think we will stick with what we are doing. I welcome comments.
A brief update: Two months ago I wrote about how we handled Cynthia Sewell's exclusive on the fatal police-involved shooting of Adams County rancher, "Rancher's wife: I saw them murder my husband." That story drew more traffic to the Statesman's website than any other in 2015, with 1.1 million views. Other sites in the McClatchy chain (which owns the Statesman) drew about 800,000 views, and the combined 1.9 million was the highest of any story our company produced.

Mayor Sara to ask President Duterte to exempt Davao City from martial law
Antonio L. Colina IV
DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 20 June) – Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio will request her father, President Rodrigo R. Duterte, to exempt Davao City from his declaration of martial law and only place areas under military rule where peace and order is unstable because "it doesn't have to be the entire area of Mindanao."
Mayor Sara Duterte Carpio meets with European envoys during sidelines of the 2019 Davao Investment Conference (Davao ICon) at the SMX Convention Center Thursday (20 June 2019).

Carpio was responding to the query of Swedish Ambassador Harald Fries on the two-year-old martial law declaration in Mindanao during the mayor's meeting with European ambassadors around 2 p.m. at the sidelines of the 2019 Davao Investment Conference (Davao ICon) at the SMX Convention Davao.
Fries asked specifically the mayor how long Mindanao would be under martial law.
The mayor admitted she did not know when martial law would be lifted. But she that the consensus among mayors of Mindanao is that "peace and order became more or less stable with the imposition of martial law."
"But with Davao City, what they are enjoying now, we enjoyed it before martial law," Carpio pointed out.
She admitted that martial law has always been one of the concerns of tourists, businessmen, and international event organizers who plan to hold major activities here.
Carpio said that in her city, they saw the effect of martial law – like less visitors coming – in the first few months.
"But after about two months, everything picked up," she noted. The mayor said that visitors apparently did not see "the reason why the whole island of Mindanao was put in martial law in relation to our situation here in Davao City."
She said that visitors and some sectors are not used to being militarized.
Carpio told reporters shortly after that meeting that the city's exemption from martial law would be possible since it can be declared to specific areas.
"I will write the President to exempt Davao City from the declaration of martial law in Mindanao since martial law can be localized in one or two areas. It doesn't have to be the entire area of Mindanao," she said.
The President declared martial law and suspension of the privilege of writ of habeas corpus in Mindanao on May 23, 2017, in response to the attack made by the Islamic State-inspired Maute Group in Marawi City. Congress approved the request of the President for the extension of martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus for the third time in December last year until the end of 2019.
Carpio said she would ask the City Council of Davao to come up with a resolution requesting the President that martial law be lifted in the city.
In her keynote speech before the 600 delegates to the Davao ICon around 3 p.m., the mayor reiterated her plan to request the Office of the President to reconsider and review martial law declaration in Mindanao. But this time she emphasized that it be declared only to areas where peace and order is unstable.
Mihail Bujor Sion, Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of Romania, agreed with Carpio, saying it would be better to "do it by pieces" and declare martial law in areas where there is "real threat and conflict" as he believed 80 percent of the areas in Mindanao are safe and that it will be easier for the European governments to send aid to Mindanao.
"That will be good for us, embassies which are responsible, and also for the tourists because they will go anyway. The travel advisory, it's not mandatory, it's optional. They can listen to us or they can go on their own," he said.
"We advise them to travel, of course, follow the rules of martial law but we consider 80 percent of Mindanao is safe. I don't think 80 percent of Mindanao should be under martial law. If the government could look and go region by region, this will help us helping you," Sion added. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Q: MongoDB not respecting $set { name: "a value" } in update query I'm writing my own API in express to perform mongo update queries and I'm having trouble updating the "name" field specifically.
TagHandles.update(

  // {$set: { name : "piers" } },
  {$set: { type : "works" } },

        console.log(err);
        console.log(data);
     }
     res.send(err || data);
  });

The TagHandles is a mongoose model with the following Schema
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var TagHandle = new Schema({
    type: String,
    uuid: String,
    handle: String
}, {
    collection: 'tagHandles'
});
var TagHandles = mongoose.model('tagHandles', TagHandle);

A: Apparently mongoose prevents you from updating any fields not listed as part of the schema. So to correct, I added the line:
name: String

to the mongoose schema.

Communicating the signs of autism by showing the world through their eyes.
Nearly one in 68 children are diagnosed with some form of autism spectrum disorder. Yet despite these staggering figures, most parents still do not know the signs. This isn't surprising—the early indicators of autism are easy to miss and are often confused with typical toddler behavior.
To help parents have an understanding of what their children might be experiencing, we teamed up with Autism Speaks and the AdCouncil to create this public service campaign. We started by interviewing Jacob Sanchez—a child who was diagnosed at the age of four. Then, using stop motion animation, we brought to life how he experienced and felt the world. And in doing so, hopefully gave parents a new understanding of this disorder.
The models used in the film were later auctioned at Autism Speaks fundraisers.

Heise prepares to lead township

Check out this story on HometownLife.com: http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/2016/11/11/heise-preparing-lead-township-leave-state-house/93637404/
Matt Jachman, hometownlife.com Published 1:10 p.m. ET Nov. 11, 2016
Kurt Heise(Photo: Submitted)
Plymouth Township is about to see a major change in leadership, with five newcomers, including three who will be taking the township's top elected positions, set to join the seven-member Board of Trustees.
Republican Kurt Heise, who was elected supervisor Tuesday with no opposition, on Wednesday announced his resignation from the Michigan House of Representatives, effective next Friday. He has represented the township, and several surrounding communities, in the House for nearly six years, arriving in Lansing at a time of steep economic decline.
Heise will be sworn in as supervisor Sunday, Nov. 20, with a ceremonial public swearing-in planned for a special meeting of the new board 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22. Lt. Gov. Brian Calley will administer the oath of office to Heise and other township election winners at that meeting.
Heise will lead a group of Republican board members who swept four incumbents from office in the August primary. With current Trustee Steve Mann not seeking office this year, the next township board will include only two incumbents, Bob Doroshewitz and Chuck Curmi.
"We promised a new, professional direction for the township," Heise said Friday. "We want to just get to work and do the job the township taxpayers hired us to do."
Joining Heise, Doroshewitz and Curmi will be Mark Clinton as the new treasurer, Jerry Vorva as the new clerk, and Jack Dempsey and Gary Heitman as new trustees.
Heise said issues at the top of the new board's agenda include the 2017 township budget; decisions surrounding the possibility of leaving Wayne County's sewage-treatment system and instead sending all township sewage to the Western Townships Utilities Authority, which could save money by avoiding projected county cost increases; and issues involving the city of Plymouth, such as the retirement tab that stems from a formerly joint fire department, and the prospects for joint recreation programs.
The new board may also have to address the audit of the 2015 fiscal year, which was due to Michigan's treasury department June 30 but hasn't yet been completed, Heise said.
Heise offered a brief speech to colleagues Wednesday in announcing his plans to resign from the House.
"The last six years serving with you have been among the most rewarding, interesting and challenging of my life. I am honored to have served with each and every one of you," he said.
He credited his family — wife Catherine, a Wayne County Circuit Court judge, and daughters Kate and Claire — for their support during his time in the House, and said elected leaders had made great strides in improving the state over the last six years.
"Those of us leaving this year can definitely say that we left our beloved state far better off than we were six years ago," Heise said.
Heise, who is term-limited in the House, announced his bid for supervisor more than a year ago. He challenged Supervisor Shannon Price, who had been appointed by the board in April 2015 to fill a vacancy, in the Republican primary, and won the primary as a write-in candidate after a Michigan Court of Appeals decision threw him off the ballot due to a paperwork oversight.
"The people of Plymouth Township did their homework, knew what was at stake and trusted me with four years as their CEO. All of this in a write-in campaign that made statewide history," Heise told House members Wednesday.
Heise has met with Price several times and also with township department heads. He described the transition so far as cordial and smooth, saying he and Price talked over front-burner township issues.
"I think it's gone well," Price said Friday. "Everyone's starting to get an idea, through the department heads, what Kurt's vision is going to be." Price said he's also met with a couple of the trustees-elect.
Leaving the board Nov. 20 will be Price, five-term Treasurer Ron Edwards, first-term Clerk Nancy Conzelman and two-term Trustee Mike Kelly.
Heise will be succeeded in the state House by Republican Jeff Noble of Plymouth Township, a senior pastor at Praise Baptist Church. Noble defeated Democrat Colleen Pobur, a Plymouth City Commission member, in Tuesday's election to win in the 20th House District.
