PM signs historic forest peace deal
ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), July 24, 201
The latest attempt at a peace deal for Tasmania's forests has been agreed to by both the Tasmanian and Federal Government.
Industry has backed the plan, but it has already been rejected by the Greens at both a state and federal level.
It comes after nine months of negotiations between conservation groups and the forest industry.
The agreement effectively halves the Tasmanian timber industry and moves it almost out of native forest logging.
The package highlights are:
$85 million in immediate assistance to forest workers and contractors to exit the industry permanently.
$120 million over 15 years will be provided for regional development projects to diversify the Tasmanian economy.
$43 million will be given to the State to buy back native wood contracts, which would include Gunns.
430,000 hectares of native forest is to be put into informal reserves protected from logging.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard signed the historic heads of agreement with Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings in Hobart today.
"We have put cold hard cash on the table to get it done," Ms Gillard said.
"This is a very significant step forward in a process that is aimed at trying to end the conflict that has caused so much conflict, for so many, for decades in this State," Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings said.
Ms Giddings has until the end of the year to verify and protect 430,000 hectares of native forest from logging, which will be placed in an informal reserve immediately.
"As Prime Minister I've always said I'm all about jobs and this is about supporting jobs in Tasmania. But it is also about securing an environmental outcome," Ms Giddings said.
The deal has been forced on the industry because its markets have collapsed.
A decade-long campaign by conservationists aimed at international woodchip buyers started the rot and the global financial crisis brought the industry to its knees.
At the same time the biggest industry player - Gunns - decided to get out of native forest logging to win approval for the Tamar Valley pulp mill which will take plantation timber.
"What is fundamentally different here is this isn't Government telling people what to do. This is stakeholders coming together recognising that the industry has changed," Ms Gillard said.
The negotiations failed to mandate how long the strategically important Triabunna woodchip mill should keep operating.
Conservationists and industry are yet to sign the deal, that should be done within two weeks.
The Greens have rejected the package.
"This is not an agreement that we will go along with. It gives $148 million to the loggers in the financial year but does not permanently protect 1 hectare of what the Prime Minister calls ancient and iconic forests," Greens leader Senator Bob Brown said.
Senator Christine Milne says the agreement sells out the public expectation that there would be a breakthrough in the 30-year conflict.
"That opportunity has now been squandered. Appeasement as a strategy has never worked and it won't work in this case and now it's going to be over to the market," she said.
The Wilderness Society which was a key player in the peace talks says it supports the compensation package and will work to make sure the forests are protected.
"It is our intention to be sure that the detail that still needs to be worked through to end up in the actual inter-governmental agreement provides for the protection of the forests," campaigner Vica Bayley said.
The timber industry says it is a compromise driven by necessity.
"I don't think there's anyone that will say they got everything that they wanted. It's been a genuine negotiation process and like any negotiation process there's had to be some compromise," the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania chief executive, Terry Edwards said.
But industry wants one further guarantee.
"That there will be peace in our forests and in our markets as a result of this agreement."

In order to implement its plans to diversify into the original content media market, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Inc. has entered into a multiyear partnership with the award-winning, New York-based studio A24. The studio will produce several films for Apple, as it follows the lead of digital streaming giant Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in producing original full-length motion pictures, which will compete with traditional Hollywood media companies such as Disney (NYSE:DIS).
Apple's foray into the online media content business is part of its strategic plan to expand its existing subscription service channels that it hopes will replace some of the lost revenue from declining iPhone sales. For many years, the iPhone has been Apple's golden cash cow, accounting for two-thirds of the company's total revenue.
While shareholders should applaud Apple's attempt to diversify and strengthen its service and subscription offerings, there are several aspects concerning the company's current plans to enter the streaming market that appear somewhat mystifying.
First, Apple's choice of A24 as a bona fide studio partner seems somewhat odd. In 2017, A24's production of "Moonlight" received the Oscar for best picture. Despite the honor, however, the movie was one of the lowest grossing films ever to win the award.
A24 has released several other movies recently, and its largest production to date, horror film "Hereditary," grossed only $44 million in the U.S. and Canada.
How a partnership with a studio whose productions have generated exceptionally low grossing films will enhance Apple's revenue from its planned media and streaming operations has not yet been explained. Additionally, Apple has earmarked only $1 billion for original content production; Netflix is spending over $8 billion this year alone.
Apple, like Amazon, has no experience whatsoever in the original content business. Even though it's sourcing out its original content productions to established film companies, how the original content piece produced by these studios fits into Apple's overall digital streaming services plan is somewhat unclear. The difficulty for Apple is that if its iPhone sales decline at an accelerated clip, the company may not have the luxury of time in terms of finding its footing in a new line of business wholly unrelated to its traditional business operations.
For the past three years, Amazon has been making original movies and TV series offered through its Prime membership. Its efforts in producing movies has been criticized as erratic, poorly managed and the quality of its original offerings has been inconsistent. Given Amazon's difficulties in adding media operations to its wholly unrelated primary business of online retail, there is no guarantee that Apple's foray into the original content market will be smooth and problem-free.
Given the recent bad news from its iPhone suppliers and its own reduced revenue guidance related to declining iPhone sales, Apple's posture toward entering the original content area seems inexplicably guarded. Apple CEO Tim Cook has adopted a conservative approach. Back in June, Cook indicated he didn't want any movies that contained gratuitous violence, raw language politics or risqué story lines that might risk the company's pristine brand image. The story lines Cook wants to avoid are precisely those that have been embraced by Apple's eventual competitors — cable TV, Netflix and Amazon. The existing players in the direct-to-consumer streaming market don't share Apple's restrictive content compunctions.
Furthermore, this concern for producing only "wholesome" original movies is seemingly at odds with Apple's hiring of two veteran Hollywood producers who have "Breaking Bad" as well as other titles under their belt. If Cook wants Apple's original content to be free from violence, how will hiring the producer of "Breaking Bad" be an asset to the company or fit within Cook's concern for impairing Apple's brand?
Apple's digital streaming strategy is to deliver its media offerings, including original content, through existing distribution channels, such as its icloud monthly service or through its Apple TV offerings.
Cook's expectations or perceptions notwithstanding, Apple's brand is not connected with the production of entertainment or movies; it is associated with manufacturing groundbreaking, innovative devices that have upended entire industries.
Warren Buffett and Apple: Can a Tech Stock Be a Value Play?


I was interested to see that among the demands made by the organizers of the March 5 Student Strike Against the War was the request that the U-M "Declare that the campus will not host the newly proposed Army Biotechnology Center." And restore a clause prohibiting University weapons research, something the University did in response to student protest in the late 1960s.
According to the Army's website, the biotechnology center would mostly conduct research in technologies that would help protect U.S. troops, and would mean at least $37 million for the host University. (The center begs the question: are the biological agents they want to protect tropps from those of terrorists or the U.S.'s own stockpile?) The University plans to submit a proposal to establish the center here, which must be appealing in light of financial pressures from the state. The good news: the University hasn't submitted their proposal yet – student activists will have until the Army's April 7 deadline to stop U-M from applying.
Speaking of those budget cuts, the Ann Arbor News finally ran a story about the U-M's plans to cut. Unique to their list: restricting University-provided cell phones.


Through Jesus Christ believers have a fellowship with one another and this fellowship has its own demands. One of the demands of this fellowship is that as believers we need to be looking out and caring for each other especially when it comes to dealing with sin. As believers we have the responsibility of looking out for our fellow believers and we also have the privilege of being looked after by other believers.
The Christian walk was not meant to be lived in isolation but in community. All growth happens in community, rather than in isolation. For a tree to grow it needs nutrients from the soil, as well as water and sunlight. This means that the growth of a tree happens in communion with the sun, water and good ground. Nothing grows in isolation.
Similarly, for a believer to grow he needs the help of other believers. You as a believer have the responsibility to care for those that are struggling with sin. However, as you are helping others you have to do humbly and not with pride or a judgemental attitude. You can only help others when you remember that you are as broken as them. No one is perfect, and just because your sin is different from others does not mean that you should be proud. In humbleness help others with an aim of pointing them back to Jesus for He is your hope and their hope.
Finally, remember that even though all people, including you, break God's heart and His mercy is sufficient restore us all. We have all broken God's heart and the evidence of how much we have broken God's heart is on the cross. On the cross God's heart was so broken by sin that he lost his own life so we can be rescued from it. Sin kills but Jesus saves and through him alone we have life in abundance.


Niko Kovac has vowed to shrug off the negativity surrounding his appointment as Bayern Munich coach.
Kovac, 46, joined the Bundesliga champions on a three-year contract in the summer, having beaten them in DFB Pokal final in his final game of charge of Eintracht Frankfurt.
However, questions were asked about his suitability, with only a stint in charge of Croatia and their under-21 team between 2012-15 on his CV before Eintracht.
"That's the way people are in general, they see everything negatively at first and then choose to ask questions," Kovac told a news conference.
Bayern, record 18-time German cup winners, begin their quest to lift the trophy this season with a trip to fourth-tier SV Drochtersen/Assel on Saturday.
"I have suffered a few exits as a player in this competition and we certainly won't be underestimating the opposition. We are clear favourites, we have to take care of our own business," Kovac said.
The coach also praised Thomas Muller after the forward scored two goals in the 4-1 friendly win over second-tier Hamburg in midweek.
Kovac confirmed that fit-again captain Manuel Neuer, who played his first competitive game since September in Sunday's 5-0 DFL Super Cup success over Frankfurt, has deposed his back-up goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.
David Alaba and Serge Gnabry miss the trip to Northern Germany through injury, with Kovac saying that Juan Bernat and James Rodriguez would have to come through fitness tests at training on Friday after ankle problems.
"Otherwise we will play with the full squad," he added. "We want to improve our injury record this season with the help of our support and medical staff, but we have an excellent group of players in the U23 side to help us.
Meanwhile, midfielder Sebastian Rudy is set to leave Bayern, with Bundesliga rivals Leipzig reportedly leading the race for the Germany international.


Section 32. If a spouse fails, without justifiable cause, to provide suitable support of the other spouse, or deserts the other spouse, or if a married person has justifiable cause for living apart from his spouse, whether or not the married person is actually living apart, the probate court may, upon the complaint of the married person, or if he is incompetent due to mental illness or mental retardation upon the complaint of the guardian or next friend, prohibit the spouse from imposing any restraint upon the personal liberty of the married person during such time as the court by its order may direct or until further order of the court thereon. Upon the complaint of any such party or guardian of a minor child made in accordance with the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure the court may make further orders relative to the support of the married person and the care, custody and maintenance of minor children, may determine with which of the parents the children or any of them shall remain and may, from time to time, upon similar complaint revise and alter such judgment or make a new order or judgment as the circumstances of the parents or the benefit of the children may require.
Upon the filing of a complaint pursuant to this section to prohibit a spouse from imposing any restraint upon the complainant's personal liberty, a complainant shall be informed that proceedings hereunder are civil in nature and that violations of orders issued hereunder are criminal in nature. Further, a complainant shall be given information prepared by the appropriate district attorney's office that other criminal proceedings may be available and shall be instructed by such district attorney's office relative to the procedures required to initiate criminal proceedings including, but not limited to, the filing of a complaint for a violation of section forty-three of chapter two hundred and sixty-five. Whenever possible, a complainant shall be provided with such information in the complainant's native language.
When considering a complaint to prohibit a spouse from imposing any restraint upon the complainant's personal liberty under this section, a judge shall cause a search to be made of the records contained within the statewide domestic violence record keeping system maintained by the office of the commissioner of probation and shall review the resulting data to determine whether the named defendant has a civil or criminal record involving domestic or other violence. Upon receipt of information that an outstanding warrant exists against the named defendant, a judge shall order that the appropriate law enforcement officials be notified and shall order that any information regarding the defendant's most recent whereabouts shall be forwarded to such officials. In all instances where an outstanding warrant exists, a judge shall make a finding, based upon all of the circumstances, as to whether an imminent threat of bodily injury exists to the petitioner. In all instances where such an imminent threat of bodily injury is found to exist, the judge shall notify the appropriate law enforcement officials of such finding and such officials shall take all necessary actions to execute any such outstanding warrant as soon as is practicable.
Upon request by the court, the state police, local police or probation officers shall make an investigation in relation to any proceedings and report to the court. Every such report shall be in writing and shall become a part of the record of such proceedings.
In determining the amount of a support order, if any, to be made, the court shall consider, but is not limited to, the following factors, to the extent pertinent and raised by the parties: (a) the net income, assets, earning ability, and other obligations of the obligor; (b) the number and ages of the persons to be supported; (c) the expenses incurred by the obligor and the persons to be supported for the necessities of life, and the usual standard of living of the persons to be supported; (d) the assets and net earnings, including a deduction for the provision for childcare, of the persons to be supported; (e) the marriage or remarriage of any person being supported; (f) the responsibilities of the obligor for the maintenance or support of any other children of the obligor, even if a court order for such maintenance or support does not exist, or for any preexisting order for the maintenance or support of any other children from a previous marriage, or for any preexisting order for the maintenance or support of any other children born out of wedlock and that said obligor is fulfilling such responsibility; and (g) the capacity of any person being supported or having custody of supported children, except persons under eighteen years of age, to work or to make reasonable efforts to obtain employment, including the extent of employment opportunities in fields in which such person is suited for employment, the necessity for and availability to said person of job training programs, and the extent to which said person is needed during business hours by members of the family and the availability to said person of child care services and the extent to which such person needs to attend school to obtain skills necessary for employment. When the court makes an order for maintenance or support on behalf of a spouse or child, said court shall determine whether the obligor under such order has health insurance or other health coverage available to him through an employer or organization or has health insurance or other health coverage available to him at reasonable cost that may be extended to cover the spouse or child for whom support is ordered. When said court has determined that the obligor has such insurance or coverage available to him, said court shall include in the support order a requirement that the obligor exercise the option of additional coverage in favor of the spouse and child or obtain coverage for the spouse and child.
No order shall leave a obligor with less money than is required to provide him minimum subsistence, including food, shelter, utilities, clothing and the reasonable expenses necessary to travel to or obtain employment.

The Lions Club of Cabramatta / Cabra-Vale Inc. wants to bring you to Australia's most ethnically and culturally diverse suburb, with more than 80% of our residents born overseas. Our federal member of parliament was the late Hon. Gough Whitlam AC QC, who resided in Cabramatta and was also Prime Minister of Australia from 1972 to 1975.
Cabramatta is located in Sydney's western suburbs, between Fairfield and Liverpool, 30 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD. It is well-known for having the largest Asian community in Australia and hosting one of the largest Lunar New Year Festivals outside of Asia, including the Cabramatta Moon Festival attracting more than 90,000 visitors on that day.
The presence of a migrant hostel next to Cabramatta High School shaped our community in the post-war period, particularly after the Vietnam War. In the first phase, large numbers of post-war immigrants from Europe, particularly from Macedonia, Serbia and Yugoslavia, settled in the surrounding suburbs in the 1950s. Starting in the late 1970s, the migrant hostel hosted a second wave of refugees, as a result of the Vietnam War. During the 1980s, Cabramatta was transformed into a thriving Asian community and could have been confused with the streets of Vietnam, Cambodia and China.
If you want to visit Asia and enjoy great authentic Asian foods at low prices without jumping on a plane! Come and see our famous Pai Lau Harmony Gates in the Freedom Plaza! We have award-winning restaurants, which serve international cuisine from over 20 countries around the world, including, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Lebanon, Serbia and Iraq. Please also sample our large range of bargains in stunning fabrics, jewellery and jade.
Our grocery stores sell exotic fruits and vegetables, as well as, Asian herbs and spices. The shops are also happy to explain how you can use these in your cooking! The area also hosts different ethnic Asian and European places of worship, as well as, the Fairfield City Museum & Gallery. The secret is slowly getting out and that Cabramatta is a hidden gem. It features one of Australia's largest multicultural restaurant and shopping precinct.

Khloe Kardashian Struggles With COVID While In Quarantine On 'KUWTK' – Hollywood Life
Khloe Kardashian gave her sister Kendall Jenner an update on her emotional and physical health during the end of her two-week quarantine period in a new bonus scene from 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
Khloe Kardashian, 36, told Kendall Jenner, 25, she couldn't wait until her quarantine time was over, as she sat alone in her room during a video phone chat, in a never-before-seen clip from Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The reality star, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 last year, was advised by her doctors to stay away from people for two weeks from the day she started showing symptoms, and called her sister for some support around the end of the period.
"Hey girl, you're just living your best life over there, huh?" Khloe asked Kendall, who picked up her video call while wearing a bikini and cooking, in the clip. "Kendall, you're my dream person."
After the model asked her older sis how she was doing in quarantine, the mother-of-one admitted she was having some struggles. "It's okay, it definitely wears on you," she said. "Like I can't wait till I can like, walk the block and now that it's like towards the end, like the countdown's also killing me too."

She went on to explain that she also can't wait until she can do things for herself. "As soon as I can leave my room and cook and like fend for myself, like do things for myself. Having to rely on people to bring you food…" she said before the clip cut to Khloe talking about her doctor's orders and how she knows she's "mentally strong" during an on-air interview.
In addition to her struggles, Khloe also talked about how grateful she was during the process. "We're so much more blessed than so many more people, like being able to be sick in my own bed is such a blessing," she continued telling Kendall. "Like so many things. I'm like, 'OK, don't complain, you're almost out of this.' I've got through this far."
"Yeah, pray it'll be over sooner than later 'cause this is just really depressing," Kendall answered, to which Khloe replied, "It is, right?"

Khloe first revealed she had COVID in the Oct. 29 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She tested positive for it in March, and the episode showed her and her family's reactions to the news. "Just found out that I do have corona," Khloe said while in bed on the show. "I have been in my room. It's gonna be fine, but it was really bad for a couple days."
She also talked about her symptoms, which included "vomiting, shaking and hot and cold flashes" along with extreme headaches. "I suffer from migraines, but this was the craziest headache," she said. "I wouldn't say it was a migraine. The coughing, my chest would burn when I would cough."
She made sure to not downplay the virus during her concluding statements but also gave viewers hope. "Let me tell you, that s**t is real. But, we're all gonna get through this," she said while assuring fans of the show that "we're all gonna be ok" if everyone follows the correct protocols, and signed off by saying, "May God bless us all."

Q: On Appetize.io app does not send analytic events to Firebase debugView We have Firebase Crashlytics logging on the app. I am trying to log events to Firebase as described here. Also manifest contains:
        <meta-data
            android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated"
            tools:node="remove" />

        <meta-data
            android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled"
            android:value="true"
            tools:replace="android:value" />

On appetize.io there is ssh tunnel, so I can remotely connect via adb. When running adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app com.my.app I expect live events to show up on Firebase, which does not happen.
Here are the logs from the Appetize via their adb tunnel:

As you can see in the logs, the completely differ to what shows up on emulator running on my PC. It logs Event not sent since app measurement is disabled, but this should not happen, right? manifest already contains true as mentioned above.

A: The error you encountered is returned whenever you're trying to log an event but Firebase Analytics is disabled for your app, so you might need to check if there is a code or configuration somewhere in your project that can cause this. You can use this doc as a reference for this. Though, it looks like you haven't set the "firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" properly. I think you would need to add value whether you want to permanently disable the collection or not. It is something similar to this -

Soladvisor does just that…advise you on switching to solar. Though their ultimate goal is to increase solar use, they often get mistaken for a solar panel manufacturer and they sought Luminous to produce a website and video that made their purpose clearer. We brought our signature modern minimalism touch to a visually appealing web design along with a crisp, polished video that gave visitors an overview of the work Soladvisor does and why they are the perfect source for solar information. Soladvisor, whose primary customer base resides in California, was encouraged by a heavier flow of traffic to the new site to expand their brand nationwide, attracting curious potential solar users to Soladvisor's staff for consultation. We also developed a complex booking system that allows visitors to schedule phone calls with the Soladvisor team at their convenience.


He would be Edward's knight until the day he died.
Their tents were side by side, almost connected. That was their tradition and one they were wont to break, despite the protests of the prince's entourage. He will betray you, they whispered. He is a commoner, they said. He has no virtue, no honor. Those that whispered ill against him quickly found themselves removed from the prince's presence. The others… well, they understood.
William was Edward's knight, not in title but in heart, and he would serve Edward as well he could until the day he died.
That did not, of course, mean that he didn't question his lord's logic at times.
"They're going to find out," he whispered cautiously. The tent flap was not as secure as he'd like. The prince had ordered solitude but that didn't mean someone couldn't still barge in.
"They won't," Edward assured him, his hands resting on either side of William's head. He pulled Will towards him, kissed him lightly on the lips.
Will's heart warred between guilt and temptation, caution and recklessness.
He kissed back and prayed the flap stayed closed.

China makes cyber-warfare a military priority: the Internet is the next battleground.

Reuters reports that two Chinese military officers released a party-run essay which claims that China is shifting military priorities to cyber-warfare as the Internet becomes "the crucial battleground for opinion and intelligence."
The essay, written by two strategists from the People's Liberation Army's Academy of Military Sciences, Senior Colonel Ye Zheng and Zhao Baoxian, reveals that Beijing is focused on honing its cyber-warfare skills, and sees "an unfettered Internet as a threat to its Communist Party-run state."
They wrote:
"Just as nuclear warfare was the strategic war of the industrial era, cyber-warfare has become the strategic war of the information era, and this has become a form of battle that is massively destructive and concerns the life and death of nations."
The PLA strategists fear for their country about the Internet being used as a tool to target the public with psychological warfare. They said that the Internet "has become the main battleground of contention over public opinion."
Google and Washington have refused to point a finger to China for the recent Gmail attacks but it was revealed that that province where it originates from, Jinan, happens to be the home to a signals intelligence unit of the People's Liberation Army.
Currently, there is still suspicion that some individual or entity in China was behind the series of cyber attacks, more recently involving the White House and global security company Lockheed Martin.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry quickly denied the allegations, branding it unacceptable, groundless and motivated by "ulterior motives."

Granite countertops, new lighting and a kitchen island offer modern updates.
You can make your kitchen and dining areas more efficient, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing with a few modern updates. Add fresh energy to the rooms with simple renovations, such as new colors, textures and fabrics, or embark on structural changes to alter the physical layout. Take a good look at your kitchen and dining room to determine what you want to change and create a prioritized list before you get started on your room transformations.
You can give your kitchen and dining room a new facade by applying a fresh coat of paint to the walls. Choose a neutral tone -- creamy ivory, soft gray, pristine white, sandy beige -- to deliver a neutral backdrop with modern vibes for any decorating style. Hang colorful wallpaper on a single dining room wall to escalate the visual appeal, and install a glass backsplash to create new sparkle. Refresh your built-in cabinets with shiny chrome hardware for updated appeal, and exchange your current countertops for upscale granite replacements. Create a natural feel by covering the kitchen and dining room windows with bamboo blinds; hang floor-length draperies in front of the dining room blinds for a cozier ambiance. Replace old ceiling lights with sparkling chandeliers or stunning pendant lights, and perk up the walls with colorful painted canvases or framed prints.
Open up the areas between a closed-off kitchen and dining or living space by knocking out the dividing wall. But, before you begin tearing down walls, visit with your local government for required building permits and regulations governing structural modifications to your home. In addition, consult with a licensed professional to determine whether a wall is load-bearing prior to removing it. Alternatively, you can separate a kitchen from the dining room by installing a sliding pocket door or swinging door in an open doorway to deliver a more intimate dining atmosphere. Build banquette seating in an existing bay window and construct additional built-ins -- cabinets, shelving units, buffets -- to maximize the available floor space with increased storage space.
If you have a small kitchen or dining room, make optimal use of every inch to maximize the space. Look to vacant corners as ideal spots for corner cabinets or L-shaped bench seating for a dining table. Keep the walls and cabinets bright and airy with soft pastels or light neutrals, and emphasize special architectural details -- crown molding, chair rails, baseboards, window frames -- with a contrasting hue. Paint wide vertical stripes on a dining room accent wall to make a low ceiling appear loftier. Hang a large mirror in your dining room, and install a mirrored backsplash in your kitchen to create the illusion of larger rooms. Install classic Roman shades on the windows to allow natural light to flood the interior spaces during the day, making the rooms look more spacious and inviting.
Revamp your kitchen and dining spaces to fit your lifestyle by furnishing them with practical items that you love. For example, practical kitchen tools -- pot racks, slide-out shelves, drawer organizers, spice racks, towel holders -- help you keep items organized and easy to access. Add a kitchen island with bar stools as an additional food prep area as well as a convenient spot to eat. Equip your kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances to meet your cooking and refrigeration needs with modern vibes. If your dining room needs to multitask as a home office and eating area, furnish it with a large dining table to supply a work desk during the day and a spot to dine in the evening. Stash books, electronics and papers in a nearby sideboard or buffet to quickly clear your desk at dinnertime. Surround your table with comfy, upholstered chairs to encourage you to linger longer after dinner.

Qt uses an optimization called implicit sharing for many of its value classes.
Starting with Qt 4, all of Qt's implicitly shared classes can safely be copied across threads like any other value classes, i.e., they are fully reentrant. This is accomplished by implementing reference counting operations using atomic hardware instructions on all the different platforms supported by Qt.
To support a new architecture, it is important to ensure that these platform-specific atomic operations are implemented in a corresponding header file (qatomic_ARCH.h), and that this file is located in Qt's src/corelib/arch directory. For example, the Intel 80386 implementation is located in src/corelib/arch/qatomic_i386.h.
Currently, Qt provides two classes providing several atomic operations, QAtomicInt and QAtomicPointer. These classes inherit from QBasicAtomicInt and QBasicAtomicPointer, respectively.
When porting Qt to a new architecture, the QBasicAtomicInt and QBasicAtomicPointer classes must be implemented, not QAtomicInt and QAtomicPointer. The former classes do not have constructors, which makes them POD (plain-old-data). Both classes only have a single member variable called _q_value, which stores the value. This is the value that all of the atomic operations read and modify.
All of the member functions mentioned in the QAtomicInt and QAtomicPointer API documentation must be implemented. Note that these the implementations of the atomic operations in these classes must be atomic with respect to both interrupts and multiple processors.
Warning: The QBasicAtomicInt and QBasicAtomicPointer classes mentioned in this document are used internally by Qt and are not part of the public API. They may change in future versions of Qt. The purpose of this document is to aid people interested in porting Qt to a new architecture.

Q: Mysterious Matrix Norm Given a matrix $M$,
does anyone know the name and the definition of the following norm?
$$
\|M\|_*
$$
Thanks in advance,
Francesco.

A: That's the Schatten norm.
It's defined like:
$ \lVert A \rVert_* := \text{tr}(\sqrt{AA^T}) $ with tr is the trace of the matrix and $A^T$ is the transpose.
In other case, there's the matrix norm defined like
 (for $A \in M_{m \text{ row }, n \text{ column }}$):
$ \lVert A \rVert_p = \max_{x \neq 0} \left\{ \frac{\lvert A x \rvert_p}{\lvert x \rvert_p} , x \in K^n \right\}$
where the $ \lvert \cdot \rvert_p$ is the vector $p$-norm.
It really depends on the notation :)

A: You'll need to give a bit more context to get an exact answer - there are plenty of different ways to come up with norms on matrices.  However, there are two primary classical ones:
1) The Euclidean Norm: view an $n\times m$ matrix as an $mn$-long vector. Then the usual vector norm induces a norm on the matrix.
2) The Operator Norm: $n\times m$ matrices can also be viewed as linear operators $\mathbb{R}^m\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n$, for which we have the operator norm:
$$
\|A\|_{op}:=\inf\{c>0\mid \|A\vec{v}\|\leq c\|\vec{v}\|\text{ for all }\vec{v}\in\mathbb{R}^m\}=\inf_{\|\vec{v}\|=1}\|A\vec{v}\|,
$$
where $\|\cdot\|$ is understood as the usual vector norm in whichever vector space is appropriate at the moment.
I should point out, however, that all norms on finite vector spaces are equivalent.  So, even though various norms will likely disagree on a given matrix... the topology that they induce on the set of matrices will be the same.

Lest We Never Forget – Part I
Recently I received a note from a friend that included the history of Memorial Day from the Old Farmer's Almanac. It gave me new insight about the history and significance of this national holiday. I hope it does the same for you.
The U.S. federal holiday Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who have died while serving in the military.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY?
On both Memorial Day and Veterans Day, it's customary to spend time remembering and honoring the countless veterans who have served the United States throughout the country's history. However, there is a distinction between the two holidays:
Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We spend time remembering those who lost their lives and could not come home, reflecting on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider how we can support and safeguard their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind.
Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL who served—in wartime or peacetime—regardless of whether they died or survived. Veterans Day is always observed officially on November 11, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.
MEMORIAL DAY FACTS AND HISTORY
Traditionally, on Memorial Day (U.S.), people visit cemeteries and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.
The custom of honoring ancestors by cleaning cemeteries and decorating graves is an ancient and worldwide tradition, but the specific origin of Memorial Day—or Decoration Day, as it was first known—is unclear.
In early rural America, this duty was usually performed in late summer and was an occasion for family reunions and picnics. After the Civil War, America's need for a secular, patriotic ceremony to honor its military dead became prominent, as monuments to fallen soldiers were erected and dedicated, and ceremonies centering on the decoration of soldiers' graves were held in towns and cities throughout the nation.
After World War I, the day expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars.
A LASTING LEGACY
No less than 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, and states observed the holiday on different dates. In 1971, Memorial Day became a national holiday by an act of Congress; it is now celebrated annually on the last Monday in May.
WHY IS THE POPPY A SYMBOL OF MEMORIAL DAY?
In the war-torn battlefields of Europe, the common red field poppy (Papaver rhoeas) was one of the first plants to reappear. Its seeds scattered in the wind and sat dormant in the ground, only germinating when the ground was disturbed—as it was by the very brutal fighting of World War 1.
John McCrae, a Canadian soldier and physician, witnessed the war firsthand and was inspired to write the now-famous poem "In Flanders Fields" in 1915 when he saw the poppies scattered throughout the battlefield surrounding his artillery position in Belgium.
THE SYMBOL SPREADS ABROAD
The wearing of the poppy was traditionally done on Memorial Day in the United States, but the symbolism has evolved to encompass all veterans living and deceased, so poppies may be worn on Veterans Day as well. Not long after the custom began, it was adopted by other Allied nations, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, where it is still popular today. In these countries, the poppy is worn on Remembrance Day (November 11).
Today, poppies are not only a symbol of loss of life, but also of recovery and new life, especially in support of the servicemen who survived the war but suffered from physical and psychological injuries long after it ended.

This gorgeous triple foam heart wreath is perfect for a Valentine's Day decoration for your door! It's so easy to make and could be given as gifts too. You can paint the foam hearts pink or use any kind of ribbon you want.
Begin by painting the foam hearts red. When they are dry, figure out about how long you want between the hearts by laying it out on the floor. Measure 3 pieces out (mine were 15 inches) and use a glue gun to glue them onto the heart. I glued it on the back of one, wrapped it around the other, and then overlapped and glued again right on top of where I glued the beginning of the ribbon. Add a bow to the top ribbon. I simply did the shoe lace bow, but made two "bunny ears" to have a fuller look. Very simple but beautiful. Then I tucked flowers inside from both ends, you could also glue these for extra stability. Hang it on a hook and you're done!

As is our tradition, with this issue we bid farewell and offer thanks to our colleague and friend, Diane Smathers, who has served the Society for the past nine years as its vice president, president-elect, president, and past president.
Chapter and national officers, and executive directors, could not ask for a better mentor. Armed with hot tea and chocolate, she led me from the dark side of higher ed administration to the bright side of association leadership. I heard often about the piles of paperwork on her dining room table as she prepared for board meetings and conventions. Despite her demanding day job as director of the Emeritus College at Clemson University, she rarely let Phi Kappa Phi out of sight or mind.
Initiated at the University of Georgia in 1980, Diane became active in chapter leadership at Clemson, where she has served on Chapter 49's executive committee for the past 15 years. Before joining the national board of directors, she wrote for the Forum, received a Literacy Grant, and wrote a white paper on distance learning.
At the 2010 convention, Diane was elected president-elect of the Society. Among other duties, she chaired the search committee for a new executive director. As president of the Society from 2012-2014, she led the board in a strategic planning process that continues to guide the work of both board and staff. As a board member, she has served on and advised committees, from chairing a task force that wrote the Code of Ethics and an ad hoc development committee, to most recently chairing the Nominating and Human Resources Committees.
Her best friend, Shirley Hastings, also a member, summed up Diane's service to the Society as "a labor of love above and beyond the responsibility of the title," noting the passion her friend displayed when visiting chapters around the country and her too-many-to-count flights to Baton Rouge.
During her presidency, Diane's greatest challenge was the sudden and unexpected death of president-elect Ray Sylvester. She worked through her deep sense of loss to fill the leadership gap both for the interim and the next biennium, thereby assuring continuity of the board chair.


Live painting at 5 Point Film Festival, the Wolf takes shape. Click to enlarge.
While physical risk and adventure don't have to be your rabbit, you can't deny that that extreme sports such as climbing make a terrific metaphor. In Collins' case, him being a world-class scaler of cliffs, his trips provide abundant metaphorical fodder. Combine that with a career in commercial art as well as his having a vast network of talented folks from musicians to animators, and you get something unique and exceptional.
Thus, Collins takes a recent climbing trip that involved a rather desperate retreat and nearly hypothermic demise on a rain soaked wall in China, and turns the experience into a letter to his son. This in turn forms the structure for an animated journey into the human condition, accompanied by live music and live painting.
The event is introduced with Jeremy painting a lupine visage on an odd looking shuttered glass canvas, accomplished by a powerful and viscerally anticipatory minor-key film score that wanders in and out from almost bombastic power to a delicate prance. This created by live ensemble who bring everything from throat singing to a cello, along with drum kit and electric bass to make sure the crescendos punch you.
The painting intro quickly leads to the narration making it clear that Jeremy is writing a letter to his young son. This smoothly transitions to their near-death experience high on a granite wall on the "other side of the planet." That all hooks you fine. But if this was a normal climbing film you'd probably be yawning by the time they do their last rappel and predictably live to tell about it. Instead, in a subtly clever fashion, Jeremy vamps up the letter writing theme again to do what you think is the closing moments. You're thinking, we'll, that was neat. You might even clap and expect the closing credits. Instead, the true denouement begins.
As the music builds, Jeremy climbs to the stage and begins modifying his painting with broad, energetic strokes. At the same time, the narration and animation begin emphasizing the run from complacency and the principles of living a good life that he's communicating to his son. All that time, your sense of wonder is engaging because it's not clear what Jeremy is transforming the image into. Then, in the final moments, all is revealed. Let me testify, it was beautiful.
To make sure "Wolf and Medallion" wasn't just emotionally exploitative and in the end simply average, I watched the encore presentation Sunday evening as well as the true premier on Saturday. I'm delighted to say that my second go was still evocative and inspiring, so I'll totally agree with the film winning "Best of Festival!" Congratulations to Jeremy and associates on an exceptional job!
I imagine it was quite the performance piece. I loved his film Border Country. A great tribute to a pair of brethren climbers.
Ryan, it's "Border Country" on steroids, to use a cliche. Just so danged good it was almost supernatural. Or maybe is WAS supernatural.
Hmmm…this post doesn't seem to engender the same level of comment – and discussion/ argument – as say, the latest tweaking of binding part in order to lose a few ounces. Go figure.
Welllll snowbot, some bloggers only go where the comments are, some go where their hearts are, I try to trend towards the latter… so the mix happens.
More importantly, kind of hard to present a film/performance hardly anyone reading this has seen, and is not available online! But I thought it was worth covering because it was really quite something.
Adding film reviews to the mix is good for the whole cake. I've been reading/ watching 'em…But short of sending in something like "cool" (or not) what are you going to say?
Oh, if you dress all in black and live in NYC or LA, there is lots to say (grin), and even if you dress in bright colored ski clothing there are sometimes opinions and impressions to be offered.
Yeah, some of us might be going to Mountain Film, but not sure if they'll be interested in doing any film reviews. Anyone out there interested in guest blogging from Mountain Film?
Lou, I might…I didn't have plans to go but it is just up the road. I'll see if I can line it up (i doubt if i could swing the whole thing) and let you know.
Welllllll, Lou, I really liked what I saw of Jeremy's piece in the clip you posted and hope I get to see more of it someday, maybe even something like the performance you saw. I wouldn't have known about it without your post. So thanks. I had no intention of suggesting you not post such things; I'd rather see more. I just found it striking that a post with words like metaphor and art and risk and family engendered so little comment.


How many times have you rolled your eyes looking at your cab price when traveling to work? Quite often right?
When it comes to city life and instant transport service, affordable and good services are what we hope for. However, the rates charged by private taxi services are at times too exorbitant and you dont always have the amount of time and energy needed to travel via public transport like a bus or metro.
So, is there a solution? Well, dont you always wish for some travel option that would make your travel less tiring, cost-effective and at the same time would save your time? It seems we have your wish granted. At Rapido Bike-Taxi services, customers like you are our top priority over making profits. Thanks to our dedicated Captains, you won't ever have to spend on unfair cab rents and pay just what's on the meter. Thus, you will be reassured that you will receive the best service possible but at a reasonable rate.
We know how it feels when you find a private cab service charge you double or triple the fare on special days or at peak times during the day. Take for example you wish to travel to a destination about 5 kms from your place and where the cab should charge you about Rs. 100, a surge pricing added to it asks you to pay almost Rs. 250 instead. Don't you think this price is not justified, when our bike taxi can reach you to the destination charging a fraction of that.
Trust us, we don't have such variable fare systems. With absolutely transparent and pocket-friendly fares, with a minimum fare of Rs. 10 and charges as low as Rs. 3 or 5 per km*, you do not need to give it a second thought to ride with us. What more could we ask for when we have an option of faster, hassle-free travel that too at reasonable rates? Our past customers who have availed our services have now stopped waiting for instant cabs. With our bike-taxi service at hand, you won't have to worry regarding the extra expenditure for a cab ride and can save your salary for the better things in life!
So no more being fed-up of high surge prices and fretting on daily transport costs, because our affordable Rapido bike-taxi services are here at your service. Just get in touch with us through our app and ride happily.
