Watching the Rose Parade was a New Year's tradition growing up. Granted, I usually saw it on television, even though I was just a few miles away from the parade route at my grandparents' house in La Cañada. But I would visit the La Cañada-Flintridge float under construction before the parade, breathing in the heady aroma of thousands of flowers up close. And once, in college, I even spent the night in a sleeping bag on Colorado Boulevard, determined to take in the whole parade experience.
So I was delighted to come across some historic images of the Rose Parade while combing through The Huntington's collection of Jack London papers, tucked within an album of photos from Korea and Japan. As assistant curator of literary manuscripts, I view fascinating bits of history every day. We hold the largest collection of Jack London materials in the world, including 12,000 photographs, and I am often searching for a particular image. But somehow I had never seen these pictures.
Flowers were used to create stars that decorated the wheels of the float and the the rear of the trellised carriage, 1905. Jack London Collection. The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.
London is best known for his adventure stories, and for the true-life escapades that inspired those tales. London traveled to the Yukon during the Gold Rush, reported on the Russo-Japanese War from Korea, documented poverty in the East End of London, sailed the South Seas, visited Hawaii numerous times, traveled to Mexico, and lectured extensively in the Midwest and on the East Coast. He finally settled in Sonoma, spending considerable time in San Francisco and the Bay Area. But Pasadena? How was it that London found time between exotic locales to visit Pasadena, and what were the photographs doing in an album of photos taken in Korea and Japan?

London snapped 18 photographs, mostly of the floats themselves. These early floats were primarily flower-bedecked, horse-drawn carriages, though a few had more elaborate designs. London captured some of the riders in costume or carrying additional floral accoutrements. One float simulated a large boat with oarsmen to propel it down its waterless course. On another, flowers were used to create stars that decorated the wheels and the the rear of the trellised carriage.

London was an avid horseman, so it's no wonder that he photographed the second annual chariot race, a form of post-parade entertainment introduced after the first Rose Bowl game in 1902. With a riotous crowd of 8,500 spectators packed into a space intended for 1,000, Michigan clobbered Stanford 49 to 0, and the game was called at the end of the third quarter with an unorthodox mercy rule. That convinced the organizers to try something new. Following the success of Lew Wallace's wildly popular 1880 novel Ben-Hur, the organizers settled on chariot races, which took place from 1904 to 1915. London's photographs reveal a large track and grandstands in Tournament Park, an area that now serves primarily as athletic fields for Caltech.
As for me, I'm still a big fan of the Rose Parade. When I married and moved to Pasadena, it seemed natural to join the Tournament of Roses Association and be a part of the magic. My husband was already a member, and I wasn't going to spend New Year's Eve alone while he had all the fun. The theme of this year's parade—my tenth—is "Find Your Adventure." During the parade, I'll be thinking of Jack London and his many adventures, including the ones he experienced close to home.

← Oh, What a Year It Was!
This would have been during the time when my Great Grandfather William H. Vedder was mayor of Pasadena. He was mayor from 1903 – 1906. He was also a member of the Valley Hunt Club and President of several banks in town.
Precious photos. The photographs tell the story without captions.

El ácido nitrilotriacético (NTA) es el ácido aminopolicarboxílico con la fórmula N(CH2CO2H)3. Es un sólido incoloro que se usa como agente quelante, que forma compuestos de coordinación con iones metálicos (quelatos) como Ca2+, Co2+ , Cu2+, y  Fe3+.

Producción y uso
El ácido nitrilotriacético está disponible comercialmente como ácido libre y como sal de sodio. Se produce a partir de amoníaco, formaldehído y cianuro de sodio o cianuro de hidrógeno. La capacidad mundial se estima en 100 mil toneladas por año. NTA también se cogenera como una impureza en la síntesis de EDTA, que surge de las reacciones del coproducto de amoníaco.

Química de coordinación y aplicaciones
El NTA es un ligando trianiónico tetradentado tripodal.

Los usos de NTA son similares a los del EDTA, siendo ambos agentes quelantes. Se utiliza para ablandar el agua y como sustituto del trifosfato de sodio y potasio en detergentes y limpiadores.

En una aplicación, el NTA como agente quelante elimina Cr, Cu y As de la madera que había sido tratada con arseniato de cobre cromado.

Usos de laboratorio
En el laboratorio, este compuesto se usa en titulaciones complexométricas. Se utiliza una variante de NTA para el aislamiento y la purificación de proteínas en el método His-tag. El NTA modificado se usa para inmovilizar níquel sobre un soporte sólido. Esto permite la purificación de proteínas que contienen una etiqueta que consta de seis residuos de histidina en cualquier término.

El his-tag une el metal de los complejos quelantes de metal. Anteriormente, el ácido iminodiacético se usaba para ese propósito. Ahora, el ácido nitrilotriacético se usa más comúnmente.

Para usos de laboratorio, Ernst Hochuli et al. 1987 unió el ligando NTA y los iones de níquel a perlas de agarosa. Esta Ni-NTA Agarosa es la herramienta más utilizada para purificar sus proteínas etiquetadas mediante cromatografía de afinidad.

Medio ambiente
A diferencia del EDTA, el NTA es fácilmente biodegradable y se elimina casi por completo durante el tratamiento de aguas residuales. Los impactos ambientales de NTA son mínimos. A pesar del uso generalizado en productos de limpieza, la concentración en el suministro de agua es demasiado baja para tener un impacto considerable en la salud humana o la calidad ambiental.

Prints Sculptures
Dutch artist Willem De Kooning was an abstract expressionist artist. Born in Rotterdam, he moved to America in 1926. In 1943, De Kooning married the painter Elaine Fried and in 1962 he became an American citizen. After World War II, De Kooning developed a style known as Abstract Expressionism also known as 'action painting', he was part of what is known as the New York School, a close group of artists which included the likes of Jackson Pollock, Elaine de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Richard Pousette-Dart to name but a few.
On leaving school De Kooning studied as an apprentice to commercial artists. He attended part time classes at the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten en Technische Wetenschappen which was later to become the Willem de Kooning Academie. Painting in his spare time, and later joining the art colony at Woodstock in New York in the late 1920s, he came to know the modern artists Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky and John Graham. De Kooning named this small group The Three Musketeers. De Kooning and Gorky first met at the house of Misha Reznikoff, where hey became close friends and Gooky became an important influence on De Kooning's work.
De Kooning is best known for paintings such as Woman III (1953) and Woman VI (1953), and sculptures such as Clamdigger (1972/1976) and Seated Woman on a Bench (1972/1976). His paintings have fetched near-record prices. In November 2006, Woman III was sold for $137.5 million.

Q: Does action really have to be Lorentz-invariant in SR? From Landau & Lifshitz The Classical Theory Of Fields it is said:

To determine the action integral for a free material particle (a particle not under the influence of any external force), we note that this integral must not depend on our choice of reference system, that is, it must be invariant under Lorentz transformations.

This seems understandable. But in comments on this answer Ján Lalinský says that "there is no good physical reason why action should be invariant". Further he suggests another Lagrangian than that given in L&L, namely, if we denote L&L Lagrangian as $L_0$, then the example could be $L_0+Cv_x$, which is clearly anisotropic. Clearly, the equations of motion must not change with this Lagrangian, because $Cv_x$ is a total time derivative (of $Cx$).
On the other hand, in this answer Luboš Motl says that "the invariance of the action follows from special relativity – and special relativity is right (not only) because it is experimentally verified. [snip] If $S$ depended on the inertial system, so would the terms in the equations $\delta S=0$, and these laws of motion couldn't be Lorentz-covariant".
How could I connect L&L and Luboš's arguments with Ján's example? Can both sides be simultaneously right? They seem to contradict each other.

A: Jan's example is in some sense trivial, since he has added a term which is essentially adding a constant to the action, and a constant is Lorentz invariant. It's just the constant. So what you really want is a Lagrangian whose resulting action is Lorentz invariant.
The Lubos answer is correct -- the action must be a Lorentz invariant. The Lagrangian need not be, so long as it can be written as $L = L_{\textrm{lorentz invariant}} + \dot{f}$ or some other such formulation that yields a Lorentz invariant action. This distinction between the action being Lorentz invariant and the Lagrangian being Lorentz invariant is important, since it is frequently a source of the anomalies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomaly_(physics)) that appear in QFT.

The peak period for conflict between bears and humans has passed in New Hampshire, but officials say such activity may continue for the next two months due to a low supply of food for the bears.
Andrew Timmins, bear biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game, says soft crops such as blueberries and raspberries haven't done well this summer, sending bears out in search of readily-available food provided by humans, such as bird feeders, garbage and unsecured coolers.
He says complaints are running above average this year, following a quiet 2015 when there was an abundance of natural bear food available.
Most human-bear interactions happen in June and July.

Welcome to Tuesday Talk #98!


BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The primary method for controlling TB is the rapid and accurate identification of infected individuals. Immune response exploitation represents one of the main methods used for early TB diagnosis; however, few studies have reported that whole blood originating from TB-infected patients gels faster in the presence of aldehyde than blood originating from healthy subjects, which is the focus of the current study.
OBJECTIVES The study objectives are to determine the diagnostic value of a glutaraldehyde test (GT) in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) and to assess its performance compared with light-emitting diode fluorescence microscopy (LED-FM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 272 specimens (176 suspected PTB specimens and 96 suspected EPTB specimens). Of the 272 patients, 98 patients had TB infection confirmed by culture (64 PTB cases and 34 EPTB cases), and 174 patients had no TB infection. The gold standard technique (culture) was used as reference to verify the GTu2019s performance.
RESULTS The GT showed a high sensitivity (96.9%) and specificity (82.1%) for PTB with a good positive predictive value (PPV = 75.6%) and negative predictive value (NPV = 97.9%). For EPTB, the GT showed a sensitivity of 91.2% and a specificity of 77.4%, with PPV = 68.9% and NPV = 94.1%. LED-FM had lower sensitivities for PTB (65.6%) and EPTB (42.1%) and an excellent specificity of 100%, with PPV = 100% and NPV = 100%.
CONCLUSION We concluded that GT is rapid, easy, simple and cost-effective and does not require qualified personnel with a specific background or sophisticated equipment like molecular biology or mycobacterium-specific genotyping techniques. These qualities make the GT attractive for use in low- and high-income countries in addition to other conventional methods, particularly culture, which continues to be the gold standard.

Of the 10 so far that I have test, 8 work and 2 fail.
The Group Resource is failing. The Log Resource, doesn't fail, but I cannot find the log entries anywhere.
This event indicates that failure happens when LCM is processing the configuration. ErrorId is 0x1. ErrorDetail is The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed.. ResourceId is [Group]GroupExample and SourceInfo is C:\DSC\TestDSCWebsiteConfig.ps1::153::9::Group. ErrorMessage is The PowerShell provider MSFT_GroupResource threw one or more non-terminating errors while running the Test-TargetResource functionality. These errors are logged to the ETW channel called Microsoft-Windows-DSC/Operational. Refer to this channel for more details..
Log Resource issue is that in neither the Analytic or Debug logs do I see log entries. I have prepended all my log text with ZZZZZ so that it is obvious that it's from me. Analytic page is full of entries but nothing from me.
Log Resource writes to an operational log, not one of the standard Application/Security/Server logs. Browse through the log list in event viewer and you should be able to find it – "Microsoft-Windows-DSC/Operational." That's neither Analytic nor Debug. You can run Get-WinEvent, I believe, to retrieve them also, which may be easier.
The error for your Group resource will be in that location.

Sometimes when I thrift shop I find nothing. Other times it is obvious that the thrift gods are on my side. I was able to get this beautiful print for less than $5 from a resale shop. To make things even better, I got these wide leg high rise jeans from Target for about $9. I've had these wedge sandals for about three years (but they came from target) and my friends over at Charming Charlie hooked me up with the accessories. My necklace, sunglasses and tote was sponsored by Charming Charlie.
Not only is this look super comfortable, the retro vibes feel really good.
Y'all!! This dress!! (And this colorful home!) When I got ready to go shoot this look, we were driving out of our neighborhood looking for a cool place when we saw our neighbor's home and thought, "That's amazing!" Her yellow door and art work on the steps made my DIY heart skip a beat! I went to chat with my neighbor and she was kind enough to let me photograph this look right in front of her beautiful home. Thank you Terri!
Amazon is my go to for nearly everything now. I love to order things and have it show up on my door step 2 days later with my Prime account. It saves me time and trips to the store. My amazon habits are not limited to house hold goods anymore. I find some surprisingly wonderful things at low prices to wear on Amazon nowadays and here is one wonderful off the shoulder dress to prove it to you.
I adore the vertical stripes and the amazing colors in this dress. I think this dress just meshes well with summer themed parties, picnics, festivals and pretty much anything celebratory. The material has a gauze feel that makes it wonderful for airflow on hot Houston days.
Anything that allows me to "throw something" on and run out of the house is absolutely a win in my book. I'm all about being care free in as many ways as humanly possible and this dress does it for me. Leave me a comment about your favorite carefree thing to wear. Enjoy!
The best thing about spring and summer is the vibrant prints and colors that come along with it. The dresses, skirts, and shorts get shorter and the patterns get busier. When I received this dress sponored by Tobi ,I was so happy to see the vivid colors and contrast provided by the prints.
What I like most about this dress is the casual vibes that automatically come to mind when I put it on. I immediately felt like I was going on vacation. The ties at the shoulders are so adorable and you could even go braless if you wanted to really relax. To keep it casual and comfortable, I paired my trusty white converse with this look.
To add in yet another bold element I looked for one of the most fabulous accessories I could find. Milan Blocks sponsored this amazing acrylic clutch that has a detachable chain that allows you to use it as a cross body purse too! It's a beautiful bright aqua blue with sparkly red lips on it. It is literally a show stopper! Purses like this run for $500+ or more and I was lucky enough to have found this one in Houston for under $100. I get to support a local female business owner and look so dang fabulous at the same time. Now that's winning, enjoy!

At the birthing of the Millionth Circle Initiative held in March 2001 in Novato, California, we came up with our mission statement that included this intention: "to bring the circle process into United Nations accredited non-governmental organizations and the 5th UN World Conference on Women." Ann Smith, Elly Pradervand, Avon Mattison, Elinore Detinger were in the original circle related to the UN. They represented three UN NGOs. Elly, Women's World Summit Foundation, (WWSF), Ann Smith, Global Education Associations (GEA); and Avon Mattison and Elinore Detigener Pathways to Peace.
From this circle they brought the desire to influence the UN to the whole group and it was included in the Millionth Circle mission statement. We also endorsed producing the women's round calendar that was created by Sr. Helena Marie, Ginny Doctor and Ann Smith for the Episcopal Church USA. Elly Pradervand, Beverly Engel and Ann Smith designed the 2002 calendar that included Millionth Circle Intention Statement and Principles and the UN's Platform for Action Twelve Areas of Concern. The GEA delegation to the UNCSW was made of the Millionth Circle and was in partnership with WWSF and Pathways to Peace. This was in 2002. Our buttons and our energy made a very good impression. The Millionth gathering in Circle at Deer Hill followed our presence at the UN. Women from Canada and England and Africa joined us to made us an international gathering..
At the first Gather the Women Congress initiated by Women of Vision and Action (WOVA) in San Francisco in October of 2003 with the presence of Angela Weber from Brazil, we started a petition for a fifth world conference on women. At the January 2004 WOVA Board meeting in Dallas that included preliminary planning for the second Gather the Women Congress, I called Jean Bolen to discuss the need for a website for gathering support for a 5th World Conference on Women. She recommended I talk to WOVA's Executive Director, Carol Hansen Grey. When I arrived at the meeting I found myself sitting next to Carol. It didn't take much convincing on my part to get her to volunteer to design, develop and maintain a website as well as to set up a list serve and mailing lists through Living Directory. It had already been in her consciousness. We felt it was important that we have a website up and running before the March CSW meetings in New York, so we could direct people to it. Within a couple of days she had set up a list serve and within weeks she had a preliminary website up and running!

Research projectsOrganic-inorganic nano-composites for device applications
Organic-inorganic nano-composites for device applications
Recently, there has been considerable interest in the organic electronic materials and their uses in the production of flexible and transparent electronic devices. However, the performance of these devices is less in comparison with those made from conventional inorganic materials.
Therefore, many researchers turned to produce organic-inorganic composites in order to combine the advantages of organic materials such as flexibility and ease of processability and at the same time the advantages of inorganic materials as well.
One of the most promising materials to improve the properties of such composites is carbon nanotubes which offer extraordinary properties that could be exploited to produce flexible and high performance electronic devices.
In this project we will produce well dispersed inorganic nano materials within an organic mixture in order to produce large area thin film conducting and also semiconducting composite. As part of the overall vision we will examine the dispersion of the nanoparticles and relate this to the percolation limits of conduction and look to produce conductors and thin film transistors that maybe used for transparent large area electronics such as displays, circuits and sensors.

Good and stable dispersion of carbon nanotubes was achieved by using different chemical treatment. This dispersion was then mixed with a polymer and deposited on different types of substrates by using ink jet printing technique.
The scanning electron microscope images show a good distribution of the nanotubes in the printed sample. Moreover, we managed to align the nanotubes in the printed composite layer. The results reveal that the electrical properties of the composite are affected by the presence of the nanotubes and depend strongly on the concentration of the nanotubes in the sample.

Hail Killmonger: Black Panther's Antagonist Set to Receive His Own Comic Miniseries
Hip Hop Art and Design | Urban Arts, Hip Hop Culture | Hip Hop Arts and Lifestyle, Hip Hop Entertainment | Hip Hop TV, Film and Video Games
The breakout villain of Black Panther, Erik Killmonger, is returning to the Marvel Universe with a brand new Marvel Comics limited series. Killmonger is written by Bryan Edward Hill (What If? X-Men) with the first issue goes on sale December 5th.
Green Arrow's Juan Ferreyra will serve as the lead artist on the book, while Bryan Edward Hill will write it. In an interview with Vulture (published Sept. 17), Hill discussed how the Black Panther film inspired the upcoming series. "With Erik, I feel like it's really a tragedy. It's a story of a guy who was failed a lot by Wakanda in certain ways, by the people he met outside of Wakanda, by his own conscience in other ways, and I wanted to paint a portrait of that," he said.

It's absolutely brilliant that Marvel Comics are capitalizing on Killmonger's current fame. We need more stories and tales about our own heroes and agnostics.

Deleted Scene: Not vital to the plot, but one scene that was cut was an alternate introduction of the protagonists to Masters Croc and Ox. Originally, they were going to all meet at a street fighting ring, but was cut for various reasons. The design of the jail strongly resembles the arena that they were supposed to fight in, and the whole scene was later recycled into the bonus DVD Secrets of the Masters, which talked about Croc, Ox, and Rhino.
Development Gag: There was originally going to be a Master Boar on the Kung Fu Council, but he was ultimately scrapped. His character model appears as a prisoner in Gongmen Jail who cheers after Po's Rousing Speech.
Dueling Movies: The film managed to beat Cars 2 in the box office race when it was critically acclaimed and viewed by some as an Even Better Sequel while Cars managed to break Pixar's critical winning streak by falling victim to Sequelitis and earning a Rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes (it's still the only Pixar movie to be critically panned).
Irony as She Is Cast: Michelle Yeoh, a talented martial artist, appears in a franchise that revolves around Kung Fu as a Soothsaying goat that never directly takes part in any action scenes.
Missing Trailer Scene:
In some of the TV Spots, there's a scene where Po is "holding his breath in anticipation", then Tigress tells him finally to breathe. Never happens in the movie.
Another trailer moment that doesn't happen in the movie is Shifu telling Po he's received a message. Po thinks it came from the universe, then Shifu says it came from a messenger.
A very minor one early in the film where Po attempts an Asskicking Pose when he and the Five land in front of Shen's wolves, only to end up facing the wrong way. In the trailer, Tigress whispers "Po, turn around!" In the film proper, he notices his blunder himself.
A third has Po claiming he knows he's not the last panda. Never comes up in the film, but might have been intended as an Easter egg to tease Kung Fu Panda 3, which was in development and released in 2016.
Uncredited Role: Charlie Kaufman (of all people) was an uncredited script doctor.
What Could Have Been:
For the second movie, there was time in the plot where a female mantis was going to eat Mantis.
Before its' released, there was information that pointed out a different backstory for Lord Shen then from what was shown: Shen's parents were said to be ashamed of his albino coloring and poor health, so they left him in the care of their advisor, the Soothsayer, who raised him like her own. Traces of this can be seen as Shen is never outright cruel to the Soothsayer, such as how he releases her before the launch of his armada, meaning that he still respects her for showing him love. This is the backstory used in the novelization.
The Wolf Boss was originally going to be a crow, but the creators thought that would make him too similar to Shen.
Working Title: First, Kung Fu Panda 2: Panda-monium. Then Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom. They eventually went with a simple 2 at the end of the original title.

Growth, growth, growth mentioned 20 times (I know, it's an interview about growth). Exponential growth in a closed system. When will macroeconomists recognize the physical impossibility of such a thing? And that past historical data ("I know from history that a full-employment, rapidly-growing economy is much better for working people.") are irrelevant now that physical limits begin to manifest themselves.
Yet, Mason wrote "The problem of the 21st century is the problem of climate change" and asks "Is Capital Being Reallocated to High-Tech Industries?" (his answer is no). But even if capital was reallocated to global renewable energy infrastructures, what about constraining EROIs ?

Home Leaks Sony Xperia XA3 Official Renders Suggest CinemaWide 21:9 Display, Dual Rear Camera...
Sony Xperia XA3 Official Renders Suggest CinemaWide 21:9 Display, Dual Rear Camera Setup
Awad Ballaith
Published On: Feb 7, 2019 | Last Updated: Feb 7, 2019
A few months back, we had exclusively obtained CAD-based renderings of the Sony Xperia XA3. These renderings showcased a tall smartphone that had its bezels trimmed down and display stretched out to an incredible degree. How far this display had been stretched has now been confirmed. Newly leaked press renders of the Xperia XA3 reveal a ridiculously tall 21:9 aspect ratio display. In a time where even 19:9 aspect ratio screens feel incredibly tall, Sony seems to have its mind set on pushing the limits further.
Sony recently trademarked "CinemaWide" moniker for its smartphones. It was assumed that the brand was planning to attach this naming convention with the upcoming Xperia XZ4. However, today's leak leads us to believe the Xperia XA3 might be the first to debut with this tech.
If the Xperia XA3 indeed arrives with a cinema-wide 21:9 aspect ratio, watching movies would certainly benefit. However, anything else is likely to end up with black bars on either side. Not to mention, many app developers will have to tweak their UI to compensate for such large screens. It was already a mess when 18:9 and 19:9 aspect ratio screens became the norm. If 21:9 aspect ratio screens kick-off, then get ready for another messy year filled with glitchy experiences up until developers roll out consequent updates for their applications.
Sony Xperia XA3 Leaked Press Renders
It is worth noting that the use of a wide-angle screen doesn't mean the phone will physically be stretched like what Apple had done when moving from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5. In fact, the phone is likely to retain a manageable size considering previous leaks have indicated the use of a screen measuring 5.9-inches diagonally. Our exclusively obtained CAD renders of the phone also revealed the phone's physical dimensions to be 155.7 x 68.3 x 8.4mm, well within normal parameters for a smartphone
Sone Xperia XA3 Press Renders Showcase Side-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner
Getting back to the Xperia XA3 and its leaked press images, we also get confirmation of the rest of the phone's build and design. It looks like the phone will be available in four color variants – Grey, Blue, Pink, and Black. The back of the phone houses a dual camera setup horizontally aligned at the top-center. An LED flash diffuser is present above the camera setup, while an NFC logo has been printed beneath. The rest of the rear panel is relatively clean, bar the SONY moniker in the middle.
A depression on the right side of the device indicates the presence of a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. A small button above this groove is presumably the power button, while a longer volume rocker strip can be seen underneath. The left side of the phone seems to house a flap that will likely hold microSD and SIM cards. The bottom of the phone has a USB Type-C port with speaker grills on either side. Meanwhile, the top seems to contain a headphone jack.
Overall, the Xperia XA3 is likely to be a midrange offering. It is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 660 SoC. Storage configuration is said to be comprised of a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage combination. The battery is expected to measure 3500mAh, and the primary rear camera is claimed to have a 23MP sensor.

MANILA – A spokesman of the New People's Army (NPA) command based in Laguna condemned today what they call as fake news by the PNP-Calabarzon and SOLCOM-AFP. This concerns the supposed encounter between alleged red fighters and the police last May 2 at a police checkpoint in Dambo, Pakil, Laguna.
In an emailed statement, Magdalena Kalayaan, spokesperson of NPA's Cezar Batralo Command in Laguna, said there was no NPA member among those killed and captured by the police in the so-called encounter.
Calabarzon police director Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar and Army First Lieutenant Felise Vida Solano, public information officer of Southern Luzon Command (Solcom-AFP), told reporters that they held a joint police and military operation in Pakil after receiving tips about rebel activities.
The police flagged down a red Datsun and argued with the men inside. A firefight ensued, and afterward, Eleazar told the media that one Ismael Salazar Criste, supposedly alias "Ka Maeng," 62, was killed.
Kalayaan said the NPA letterhead shown by the PNP to the media is fake, and that the 2nd ID-PA itself had made it for the syndicate activities of their various groups.
The NPA spokesperson strongly urged the media: "Ask Maj. General Rhoderick Parayno, head of the 2nd ID-PA-AFP and former chief of PNP-CALABARZON, about who Criste's handler was, and to whom did Criste' group submit the monies they collected from their syndicate activities.
Kalayaan accused the PNP and the AFP of merely engaging in a publicity stunt to deflect attention from their criminal activities, to malign the NPA and remove public doubts about the supposed encounter in Pakil.
She also said Gen. Eleazar, the newly assigned Calabarzon chief, and the group of Ismael Criste and Lt. General Danilo Pamonag, new SOLCOM-AFP chief, are exploiting the news of the rubout to promote themselves.
"Gen. Eleazar and Gen. Pamonag are both skilled at constructing fake news even before they got assigned to Southern Tagalog," Kalayaan said.
As "proof" she pointed to Gen. Eleazar's role in "manufacturing fake news" when he was still the PNP-Quezon City chief and implementing the anti-poor drugs war under Oplan Tokhang. As for Gen. Pamonag, "he's a veteran in spreading fake news concerning the AFP-PNP's destruction of Marawi in Mindanao.
Kalayaan said the people including those in Laguna and neighboring provinces know too well that the NPA strongly adheres to revolutionary discipline and serving the interests of the people. She urged the public to strongly condemn and expose the PNP-AFP lies against the NPA.
She called on the media to strive to get to the bottom of the "news" and what's behind every AFP-PNP announcement. This, she said, is to ensure that the truth will come out and that the news that reach the people are indeed the truth.


Well, the kids all said their good-byes to the girls and each student got the chance to hold Speedy, Spot and Skunk one last time. It was a melancholy day for everyone involved. You would never know it in the pictures here. Everyone looks so happy, smiling, even Speedy appears to be smiling as she pokes her nose out from the crook of Kayla's arms.
After the kids left, I had the arduous task of taking apart the cage. Granted, I have done this before, and it is not difficult. But this time, it seemed so.
I put the girls in a box, carried them out to the car, and drove home. They seem happy here in Ventnor, but I know they miss Shanelle's warm, gentle touch, Jose's cheerful, morning face and Sonia's daily, sweet snacks of fruit. And I know my students miss the girls more than words can say.

Q: Create heatmaps in R from local coordinates I have a player movement dataset which has 2D player location coordinates every second. I'm looking to create a heatmap of where the player stay longer. I've seen a few answers on creating geographical heatmaps, but they're on maps, whereas in my example, it's in a confined indoor space. How do I do that?

A: I will assume you have something that looks like xy coordinates per second.  You can essentially count up how many times an xy pair appears in your data and then map a color intensity to a count value.


These images are from a project I did in South Shore, Blackpool, very close to where I used to live as a kid. The place used to be a joke shop and had been boarded up for years. The locals (hotel owners mostly) got tired of looking at the eyesore and so I was approached by their representative to spray paint something over it. They all pulled together to pay for the paints and my fee.
I was given free reign to do whatever I wanted, anything was going to be better than how it looked! I asked Jay Sharples if he wanted to collab on one of the boards (it was a strange surface, think it was chipboard, but the spray paint went on fine) – which he did. Image one, the left hand board, Jay did from the bottom right side diagonally up to the top left in his masking tape and splatter technique. I just made it up as I went along! Abstract shapes.
The second image I did on my own, which I call 'Watch The Birdie'. Again I made it up as I went along, but as I did, a bird emerged when i saw the red 'beak' so I gave it an eye and turned it into a kind of abstract bird image.


The BMW E53 X5 is the first incarnation of BMW's popular Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) line. Design on this car began in 1994, when BMW bought out Land Rover—a company known for sturdy, off-road vehicles. Since BMW stopped production on the E53 X5 in 2006, two more generations of the X5—the E70 and the F15—have driven off the BMW assembly lines. Still, the E53 X5 became very popular in the US, selling over 200,000 units during its seven year run. An issue that many owners run into is coolant leaking from the car.
The first sign of a problem is the warning light will indicated low coolant levels, a matter easily solved by adding more coolant. If the warning light comes on again, though, the car is experiencing a greater problem. Much of the time, a quick look at the ground underneath the car will show a puddle of coolant on the asphalt. The car will sometimes fill with a sweet smell like heated syrup, and then other times neither of these two things will occur and yet the light stays on, telling you that the coolant is low.
So, what is going on here? Because the coolant runs through so many tubes, hoses, gaskets, and containers the problem can lie with a number of things. Commonly, the valley pan—a staging area where coolant collects before being transferred to different parts of the engine block—corrodes, and leaks coolant from an ever-widening hole. Another typical problem affecting older E53 X5s is a cracked expansion tank.
On the increasingly serious side of things, the leaking coolant could suggest a faulty head gasket or a broken auxiliary fan. A trained Bimmer service expert can identify the precise problem affecting the E53 X5's coolant system and find a solution before any serious engine damage occurs.

Nadia planned our recent trip to Maui, and for dinner, she selected Poi by the Pound, which serves local-style comfort food.
We both ordered specials of the day. I love all things with gravy, so I couldn't resist ordering the Chicken Cutlet Loco Moco. It was a generous serving of tasty chicken katsu, topped with eggs, and smothered with gravy.
Nadia ordered the Kalua Pork & Kim Chee Fried Rice. It was a gigantic serving! She took home a lot of leftovers.
Service was good, and Poi by the Pound definitely satisfied!


The Choueifat municipality Friday urged Lebanon's government to take immediate action on the Costa Brava landfill southeast of Beirut as temperatures rise ahead of the summer months.
The airport-adjacent Costa Brava landfill and Ghadir River estuary are believed to be main attractions for the gathering of birds.
Following the incident, the Mt. Lebanon judge of urgent matters ordered the temporary closure of the Costa Brava landfill site south of Beirut as gulls attracted to the waste could endanger aviation at the nearby airport.
A waste management plan approved by the Cabinet of former Prime Minister Tammam Salam in 2016 called for the creation of the temporary Costa Brava landfill and another in the Burj Hammoud area, east of Beirut.

As the French left Vietnam in 1954, the country was divided to two parts. The southern part (South Vietnam) formed the "Armee de l'air Vietnamienne" and adopted the marking used since 1950 under French supervision which were variations of the national flag, i.e. an orange disc charged with three red thin rings; the national flag was used as rudder marking.
The northern part formed the Vietnam People's Air Force and adopted a yellow star bordered red as its roundel and fin flash. See http://airwar.hihome.com/airwar/vietnam/viet15-mig21.jpg.
In 1962, the south, now as the Vietnam Air Force adopted a new roundel based on the American one, white star on blue disc and orange bars bordered red and central red line. The rudder marking was the same as before (http://airwar.hihome.com/airwar/vietnam/viet08-a37.jpg.
North Vietnam changed its roundel in 1965 to yellow star on red disc bordered yellow and red bars bordered yellow with no fin flash.
In 1975, the Vietnam Air Force was dissolves, and the Khong Quan Nhan Dan Viet Nam (as it has been called since 1976), kept using the former "north" marking.

On 8 March 1949, after the Élysée Accords1, the State of Vietnam (État du Viêt Nam in Vietnamese, État du Viêt Nam in French), was recognized by France as an independent country ruled by Vietnamese Emperor Bảo Đại. The Vietnamese National Army or Viet Nam National Army (Vietnamese: Quân đội Quốc gia Việt Nam, "National Army of Vietnam," French: Armée Nationale Vietnamienne) was the State of Viet Nam's military force created shortly after that. It was commanded by Vietnamese General Hinh and was loyal to Bảo Đại.2
The Air component of the ANV was the Vietnamiènne Armée de l'Air (VALA, Vietnamese Air Force in English, VNAF) was an Air Department (Branch) within the ANV and later on 1 July 1955 it was established separately as a military force, precursor to the KLVNCH.3

Membership of Scottish Cycling is growing every day and currently at around 10,000 individual members with an additional 5000 individuals who are members of one of our 183 clubs – together making a 15,000 strong voice for cycling in Scotland. The voice can only get louder.
The Education and Training programmes offered by Scottish Cycling which includes programmes for Leaders, Coaches and Officials not only offer technical skills for people to become good Coaches, Leaders and Officials, but also opportunities for riders to grow and develop their skills and personal proficiency – prolonging their interest in cycling and therefore getting people cycling for longer. Offering these vocational qualifications is a huge benefit to the economy; it makes people more employable, gives people more opportunity and helps to build a skillful, aspiring nation.
Another huge part of what Scottish Cycling does is creating opportunities for people to grow and develop and in particular a pathway for cyclists to become the best they can be and to help progress elite riders onto the world stage. The performance development programmes do not only benefit the athletes who are training with the Scottish Cycling coaches but also those across the country. Sport can also inspire participation – following the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 84% of people have participated in sport since the Games and 94% of people plan to be more active in 2015. By seeing Scots doing well on the world stage provides an inspiration for cyclists and non-cyclists to continue or get into the sport – again this means more bums on saddles, and a healthier more active nation.

Miss Pacificana and a local Catholic church in Toto will honor victims of a recent Orlando, Fla. shooting at a gay club.
The island's only transgender pageant organization and a local Catholic church are coming together to honor those who lost their lives at a recent shooting in a gay club in Orlando that left 49 people dead.
Miss Pacificana and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Toto will hold a memorial Mass and vigil Wednesday at 6 p.m. for the victims.
"We want to be able to honor them tomorrow night and not only pray for them but to pray for the community and the world that this is not acceptable," the Rev. Mike Crisostomo, also known as Pale Mike, said Tuesday.
Crisostomo is a priest at the Toto church.
A gunman on Saturday opened fire at Pulse, a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, according to media reports.
After hearing about the mass shooting, Crisostomo said his initial reaction was shock.
Crisostomo said he received a phone call and was asked if the church was willing to hold the memorial Mass and vigil. He immediately agreed.
"We certainly are going to follow through with this and help… especially those in the LGBT community," he said.
James Servino, a communications officer for LGBT organization ISA Guam, said the group was helping to promote the memorial Mass.
While he feels Guam has a strong history of promoting the LGBT community, it's important to continue to promote awareness and visibility.
ISA Guam also is inviting members of the community to gather at Club Icon in Tumon on Thursday for a candlelight vigil and moment of silence in honor of those who died in the shooting. ISA Guam, DIOSA and community stakeholders are coordinating the event, according to a press release.
The vigil will start at 9 p.m.
Guam's LGBT community put out a statement on the shooting Monday, calling for unity in the face of grief and dismay over the mass shooting.
The statement was signed by a number of groups in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, including GALA Guam, BIG PRIDE Guam and Miss Pacificana Organization.
Guam Sen. Nerissa Underwood also signed the statement, along with Vice-Speaker Benjamin Cruz.
Servino said Underwood would be donating candles to the event.
The memorial Mass will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Toto church.
POLL: Rate Guam's level of support for the LGBTQA community.
Crisostomo acknowledged that many members of the LGBT community have strayed from the church because of its anti-gay teachings. While he has personally reached out to many of them, he said he doesn't blame them for not coming to the church they were baptized in.
"It is hurtful when you hear a parish talk about damnation and that homosexuality is a sin," he said.
His hope is that the church can rebuild and regain the credibility of the church.
Those in the LGBT community who would like to find their way back to the church can speak with Crisostomo, he said.
Those who attend the mass can come up to the altar and light candles on behalf of those who died in the shooting, he said.
