Your website represents your company. You want to be sure that information on your website are published only by authorized people, that the website won't be hacked and that your reputation won't be harmed by leaks of personal data stored in your databases. Kentico CMS recognizes security as one of the top priorities and provides you with a secure platform for your website.
Kentico CMS can store millions of user accounts in its database and they can be easily managed through the administration interface. User profiles may contain custom fields defined by administrators.
New user accounts can be created by administrators, imported from external systems or the visitors can register on the website and create their account. Kentico CMS comes with customizable webparts for registration and account management by users (change password, edit user details, etc.).
Every user can be assigned to any number of roles. While there are a few pre-defined roles in Kentico CMS, administrators can easily define their own roles and grant them with permissions.
Every module has a predefined set of permissions (such as read, modify, delete, approve, etc.) and administrator can grant users with these permissions. If you develop a custom module in Kentico CMS, you can even leverage the built-in permission system for managing access to certain features.
Kentico CMS provides highly granular permissions for managing content. Since the content is organized in a content tree, you can set permissions for the whole site, for chosen section or for a single document. The permissions can be inherited to underlying content nodes and you can even break the inheritance and set specific permissions for the chosen section. Permissions can be also denied on underlying pages which overrides the permissions granted to the parent content.
Content and navigation displayed on the live site can be personalized based on user read permissions for the given document. If the user cannot read the page, she won't see it in the navigation.
When users register on the website, you may require them to confirm the registration by clicking a link in a confirmation email, so that you can verify that their e-mail address is valid. You can also choose to approve all newly registered users before they can sign in.
Here at BP Studios, we pay special attention to creating a secure CMS platform. Every new version goes through detailed security testing and our developers are trained on writing secure code. We also use internal automated tools for identifying possible security threats in our code.
Administrators can send mass emails to all users or chosen users.
Site members can choose their time zone and Kentico CMS modules then display the time in their time zone. For example if your server is located in the USA, but the user chooses London time zone, she will see all times in forums and other modules, as well as in the administration interface converted to her time zone.

Cooperage repairs set stage for future renovation plans
Local contractor Dan Flasher and Alan Speidel start construction of the Cooperage's new wall.
People coming through UCSC's main entrance in the past week may have noticed that one of the historical old "barns" near the base of campus has received a facelift of sorts.
A plywood side has been added to the Cooperage, which was damaged by high winds during a storm in late December. The same storm also felled a tree near the Barn Theater, knocked down part of another, and destroyed one of the small cabins that dot the hillside behind the police station.
The wind knocked boards from one of the Cooperage's walls onto the ground, exposing the inside of the building to the elements. Since then, wind had blown into the dilapidated building, pushing the remaining walls outward "like a pillowcase filled with air," said Graham Bice, a campus planner who is overseeing the building's repair and renovation.
The plywood is only a temporary fix, Bice said. "We're stabilizing the building where it is weakest and have covered the end so it is protected from rain and wind damage," he explained. "The long-term solution is to renovate the building."
Campus planners are looking at options for making the building usable as office space and beginning to identify units that might be appropriate for the space, Bice said. As a starting point for the discussions, the committee is using a feasibility study prepared for the building 10 years ago.
"We'll be talking with campus architects and the Planning and Budget Office to come up with a complete program for this building," Bice said.
Renovations could involve constructing a "building within a building" to make the Cooperage usable without significantly altering its historic appearance, Bice said. Even scraps of wood knocked off the building during December's storm are being saved for use when the building is restored sometime in the future.
The Cooperage was used for making barrels from the mid-1800s to early 1900s when the land that now makes up the campus was the 2,000-acre Cowell Ranch. The building was an integral part of the operations of the Henry Cowell Lime and Cement Company, which mined limestone from a number of locations, including UCSC's Upper Quarry.
A redwood-sided building supported eight feet off the ground on stone pillars, the Cooperage was built that way to accommodate wagons that were driven under the building and loaded with barrels full of lime processed in the nearby kilns.
Old barrels, barrel-making equipment, and scraps of wood and metal litter the Cooperage's second floor, and antique wagons and other farm equipment cluster under the building's bulk. Bice hopes to put the collection on display one day--perhaps in the building itself, perhaps at a local museum or state park.
"We'll need to find a place for this tremendous historical resource," he said.
This winter wasn't the first time the Cooperage has gone without one wall. Back when the building was part of Cowell Ranch, the Cooperage stretched across what is now Coolidge Drive. The structure was cut in half in 1965 to make room for the campus road.

Goldenvoice security subsidies important to HOAs, entire festival structure
Malcolm Macdonald argues that security subsidies Goldenvoice has been giving to neighborhoods around its festival grounds vital to event success.
Goldenvoice security subsidies important to HOAs, entire festival structure Malcolm Macdonald argues that security subsidies Goldenvoice has been giving to neighborhoods around its festival grounds vital to event success. Check out this story on desertsun.com: https://www.desertsun.com/story/opinion/2019/04/30/goldenvoice-hoa-security-subsidies-benefit-entire-festival-structure-malcolm-macdonald-valley-voice/3633131002/
Malcolm Madconald, Special to The Desert Sun Published 3:16 p.m. PT April 30, 2019
Here are the new additions to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2019. Wochit, Wochit
I take issue with remarks by Indio Mayor Lupe Ramos Amith in The Desert Sun on cuts in security assistance by Goldenvoice to those Indio communities most affected by the recent festivals.
Her comment — "I don't know that Goldenvoice is obligated to pay for security" — is, at best, under-informed. Happily, it is not representative of Indio city government, which recently has shown a great spirit of cooperation working with community leaders and homeowners associations.
The mayor implies that security costs derive from short-term rentals in festival-adjacent neighborhoods. That's a little simple.
Rentals are only one factor. Some communities allow NO short-term rentals, yet still have to hire gate guards to 1) maintain normal access for residents; 2) prevent entryways from becoming Uber and shuttle stations; and 3) restrict entry to those looking to just park and walk to the concerts. The security subsidy program was developed by Goldenvoice, the city and a handful of HOAs in the Polo District Alliance to compensate communities for the extra expenditures.
Goldenvoice seemed eager to be a "good neighbor," and to date this partnership has been a success.

But now Goldenvoice seems intent on disengaging from the partnership. Their rationale is that rentals are an "inside problem," not theirs. Short-term rentals are a year-round concern for some HOAs, but in April virtually all renters are here for the festivals. This is the simple math: Of 125,000 people attending a Coachella weekend, some 40,000 camp, another 30,000 fill the valley's 15,000 hotel rooms, and some live locally … that leaves many thousand who'll look for private rentals. Remove those options from the equation and Goldenvoice has an event bigger than the area can handle. How is that "not their problem"?
Goldenvoice and the mayor believe that homeowners who rent should pay for their community's extra security out of their profits. Absolutely! Anyone making money by renting should have to pay a community security tax, and that should be deducted from any Goldenvoice subsidy. But there are a huge number of illegal rentals during the festivals, and if they're not registered, they're not taxed. So even if you collected a fee from every legal rental, you may still fall short of actual costs. Without the subsidy, homeowners who don't rent will have to make up the difference. That's neither fair, necessary or particularly "good neighborly."

I fear Goldenvoice's new policy seeking to equate security issues with rentals is clearing the way for further cuts. If that happens and HOAs cut back their security, the Indio Police Department will feel the impact first, as many calls to private security will now go to IPD dispatch. Whether the mayor recognizes it or not, Goldenvoice security subsidies free police to handle more serious emergencies.
We're all working in the same direction. Recently, at the request of the Polo District Alliance, the City published an online map of short term rental permits so that HOAs can verify that rentals in their communities are licensed. The benefit to the City is that now Code Enforcement can precision-target reported illegal rentals. If it's true that only half of rentals in Indio are licensed, the City is looking at substantial additional revenue here.
Goldenvoice should re-engage and return to the partnership. We all have an interest in seeing the festivals go off well. I also urge the mayor to stand up for her city's communities. There is no reason this can't work for everyone if reasonableness, mutual respect and good faith are our guiding principles.

An admission into a good MBBS/BDS course is a dream held by many students but achieved by far less. It's because the entrance exams are nothing like your regular school tests and are usually tougher than the average. But after the cutting down of entrance exams conducted by many institutes and universities across the country, NEET remains as the exclusive way into the course of your choice, depending on your score. This in turn makes the exam even tougher. We are here to tell you about the Best Books for NEET 2021.

In case you are unaware, NEET is conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to MBBS/BDS Courses and other undergraduate medical courses in approved/recognized Medical/Dental & other Colleges/ Institutes in India.
Now, as daunting as the exam is made to be sounded, if you put in your genuine effort and dedication and have the innate passion, nothing is impossible! So are you a NEET aspirant and dreaming of studying at the top medical institutes of this country? Are you ready to put in that hard work but also have no idea where to start? Is this is your first foray into NEET preparations and you are in need of best books for NEET 2021 for beginners?
Well worry not, for this article is here to help guide you to choose the best books for your NEET 2021 preparations. And score that admission into the course of your dreams!
The exam has a total of 180 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ), which you have to complete within 180 minutes. This means that each question would leave you with only a minute. So you have to learn to analyse the questions both carefully and quickly. Since there are negative markings too, make sure to leave the hard questions for later and move on to the next question, to save time. Strategies for tackling difficult questions are usually highlighted in the best books for NEET 2021.
The syllabus covers everything which was taught from class 10 to class 12. This includes the subject of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. They are all covered in the suggested list of best books for NEET 2021 later on in this article. Here are the topics listed for each subjects:
Basic Concepts of Chemistry, States of Matter, Thermodynamics, Equilibrium, Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles, Redox Reactions, Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Surface Chemistry, Biomolecules, Polymers
Gravitation, Behaviour of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory, Laws of Motion, Optics, Thermodynamics, Physical World and Measurement, Work, Energy and Power, Waves and Oscillations, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism, Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation Atoms and Nuclei
Diversity in the Living World, Genetics and Evolution, Cell structure and function, Classification of Plants and Animals, Human Physiology, Reproduction, Plant physiology, Biotechnology and its applications, Environment, Biology and Human Welfare, Ecology.
Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, NCERT books are always a must in the list of best books for NEET 2021. They form the basis of any topic you would later read in reference materials for NEET books 2021. If you are clear with the concepts here, it would be easy enough to grasp tougher concepts later on.
Moving onto reference NEET books, it is not a matter of which NEET books you study but a matter of how you decide to utilize them. Most of them usually contain lots of practice tests among the pages. It is a good habit to attempt those after tackling each topic. Also, even though the syllabus remains the same for every year, it is still important to look for the latest edition while buying reference books for NEET.
Since it's a hassle to choose the right book among the variety that is available in the market currently. And also there are a lot of recommended best books for NEET online. We have compiled a list for each subject to make your search easier.

ABT Studio Company to Perform at The Joyce Theater, April 24, 25 and 17, 2019

American Ballet Theatre Studio Company will appear at The Joyce Theater in New York City for three performances, Wednesday, April 24 at 7:30 PM, Thursday, April 25 and Saturday, April 27 at 8:00 PM.
The ABT Studio Company performances will feature mixed programs of classical and new repertory, including George Balanchine's Tarantella, Don Quixote Wedding Suite and an excerpt from Stanton Welch's Clear. Five original works created on the Studio Company will be given their New York City premieres at The Joyce: Stefanie Batten Bland's Pliant, Gemma Bond's Interchangeable Text, Ma Cong's On the First Star of the Night, Claudia Schreier's Neon and Ethan Stiefel's Overture.
ABT Studio Company, directed by Sascha Radetsky, is a classical ensemble made up of 12 dancers of outstanding potential aged 16-20. As the highest level of the ABT training ladder, ABT Studio Company serves as a crucial bridge between ballet training and professional performance. Three quarters of the current dancers in American Ballet Theatre began their careers in ABT Studio Company, including eleven Soloists and nine Principal Dancers.
ABT Studio Company dancers bring the artistry of American Ballet Theatre to a broad audience through domestic and international tours, choreographic residencies, cultural exchanges and local performances. ABT Studio Company performs masterworks from the classical and neoclassical canons, alongside new commissions. Choreographers who have developed new works on ABT Studio Company in recent years include Jessica Lang, Lauren Lovette, Benjamin Millepied and Liam Scarlett.
The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a non-profit organization, has proudly served the dance community for over three decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther's clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn's Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce's annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 150,000.
Tickets for the ABT Studio Company performances, starting at $41, are available online or by phone at 212-242-0800. The Joyce is located at 175 8th Avenue in Manhattan, on the corner of West 19th Street.

BOSTON (AP) Joel Embiid is headed to the NBA All-Star game for the first time, and he celebrated with another impressive performance.
Embiid scored 26 points and matched a career best with 16 rebounds, leading the 76ers to an 89-80 win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
Dario Saric scored 16 for Philadelphia, which won for the sixth time in seven games. T.J. McConnell had 15 points – all in the second half.
Just one week after Boston erased a 22-point deficit on its way to a 114-103 victory over Philadelphia in London, the Sixers led by as many as 21 and turned away one last rally by the Celtics down the stretch.
Boston played without All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who rested a sore left shoulder. Al Horford and Marcus Morris each scored 14 points.
After winning seven in a row, Boston has lost two straight.
The Celtics had no answer for Embiid, who was 10 for 19 from the floor and 6 of 7 at the foul line. He also had six assists and blocked two shots.
The Sixers forced 19 turnovers and outrebounded the Celtics 41-31 while avoiding a season sweep.
Marcus Smart scored 13 and Jaylen Brown had 12 points for Boston.
Embiid scored 10 in the third quarter and McConnell had nine points in the period, helping the Sixers pull away. Jayson Tatum's 3-pointer with 2:01 remaining trimmed Philadelphia's lead to 86-79, but Boston's rally fizzled from there.
Halfway through the season, much-improved Philadelphia (21-20) is in playoff contention. The Sixers are coming off wins against the top two teams in the Eastern Conference this week in Toronto (30-13) and Boston (34-12).
Embiid pulled down 16 rebounds for the third time in his career. He got the news earlier Thursday that he was the first Philadelphia player selected as an All-Star starter since Allen Iverson in the 2010-2011 season. Embiid is the first Sixers All-Star since Jrue Holiday in 2013.
"I'm just very proud of him," coach Brett Brown said.
76ers: McConnell was coming off a career-high 18 points Monday against Toronto. … JJ Redick, who injured his left leg Monday against Toronto, did not play.
Celtics: Irving made the All-Star game for the fifth time. … The Celtics honored Jo Jo White, a two-time NBA champion who played 10 seasons for Boston, with a video tribute and a No. 10 draped over his regular seat. White died Tuesday at age 71.
76ers: Host Milwaukee on Saturday night.
Celtics: Host Orlando on Sunday.

Q: PubSub returns 503 - Service Unavailable all the time I created a small program in Python for reading messages from a Pub/Sub subscription. I am using Python 3.7 and google-cloud-pubsub 1.1.0.
My code is very simple:
from google.cloud import pubsub_v1
from google.auth import jwt
import json

service_account_info = json.load(open("service-account-info.json"))
audience_sub = "https://pubsub.googleapis.com/google.pubsub.v1.Subscriber"

credentials_sub = jwt.Credentials.from_service_account_info(
    service_account_info, audience=audience_sub
)

subscriber_ring = pubsub_v1.SubscriberClient(credentials=credentials_sub)

def callback1(message):
    print("In callback!!")
    print(message.data)
    message.ack()

sub_path = "projects/my-project/subscriptions/my-sub"
future = subscriber_ring.subscribe(sub_path, callback=callback1)
future.result()

When the code reaches "future.result()", it hangs there forever and times out 10 minutes later with the error
pubsub 503 failed to connect to all addresses
I already verified that:

*

*Pub/Sub is up and running

*My service account has all the needed permissions. I even tried with my personal Google Cloud account (I am the project owner) with the same results.

*There are unacked messages in the Topic

*My network connection is OK

but I cannot make it work. Any ideas?
EDIT: I got some more info from the exception:
om_grpc_error(exc), exc)
  File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from
google.api_core.exceptions.ServiceUnavailable: 503 failed to connect to all addresses

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

A: It is likely that there is a firewall rule in place or some network configuration that is disallowing/dropping connections to *.googleapis.com (or specifically pubsub.googleapis.com). You can see an example of this with another Google product.

The WA Composers Project - Interviews - Lindsay Vickery
Lindsay Vickery was one of the emerging composers commissioned for the Western Australian Composers Project, that took place at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Perth, in 2013. Here, Artist director of Decibel Cat Hope asks a few questions about Lindsay's work, Silent Revolution.
What was the main inspiration for your piece Silent Revolution?
I heard Chris Hedges talking about his book "Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt". He details a number of places in the US which he describes as "sacrificial zones", places that have essentially been abandoned by society and government. One of the places he visits is Camden New Jersey. It was once a hub of industry, but has become a no-go zone with large homeless camps, ruled by gangs, with a permanent underclass of unemployed.
I started collecting photographs of Camden and assembled them into collages – this is just something that I do from time to time - it wasn't clear to me at first that this was the beginning of a new work. But I was very moved and horrified as well, by what Hedges had to say about Camden and about where industrialised societies are heading. I'm not sure what it means to make a piece of music about such an enormous problem – with so many forces at work – but on the other hand it is important, I think, to respond to issues like this, rather than just dealing with abstractions in music.
The Decibel Scoreplayer had just come out and although I had been making different kinds of computer scoreplayers for a few years, I hadn't really explored what could be done with the scrolling score on the iPad. The collage that I made sort of gradually became the starting point for the Silent Revolution. I had been looking at the scores coming out of Laboratorie New Music and Bil Smith and was attracted by the idea of expanding the notion of a score beyond just notation. It seemed that the collage of Camden would fit the scrolling score format and I was interested in how photographic images might interact with notation.
There is a lot of pictorial material on the score that the musician does not 'read' as such, yet notation is often guided by it. What was your intention when you included it?
Well, as you know, composers do sometimes ask performers to play images as notation – like Fred Frith's brick wall in Bricks for Six – but I was more interested in whether there is an interaction just because the image is next to the notation. As the work progressed the notation and the images began to interact more and more. It was a conscious decision – to allow the subject matter start to effect the music.
It's an interesting question, whether it changes the meaning of the notation for the performers and also for the audience. Maybe it's impossible to say, but I am going to run some experiments using eye-tracking equipment later this year, and that might at least reveal whether the performers look at the graphics at all and begin to answer the question about their impact.
You often use events as starting points for works. Do you develop a compositional approach based on the event, or does that evolve separately?
That's true – but in the case of Silent Revolution (2013) the starting point emerged quite organically: I just suddenly realized that I was making a new piece and not just combining images. I can't remember when the repeating pulse figure that reoccurs Silent Revolution developed in relation to the collages I was making. The scrolling score doesn't lend itself to rhythmic material, but I want to see whether it was possible to use it as a means for creating very fluid polyrhythmic structures, I suppose a bit like Nancarrow's piano rolls except with live musicians. My intention at first was to pursue this idea.
But there ended up being quite a range of notations in Silent Revolution: some of which is well defined in terms of pitch and pulse and other sections that are much less "semantic". The piece builds up to a climax where the notation can only really be interpreted as regions of noise. Each player still reads a colour (red, green or blue) as their part but it is spread is greater of lesser densities across the whole spectrum. The image here was actually another, more abstract looking, collage that I made of Camden.
In fact the progression of the images – really drove the narrative in this piece rather than the other way around: from Camden, to abandoned factories, to Occupy Encampments, to Refugee Camps, to Beirut, to the "Boneyard" where millions of dollars of decommissioned planes rot and then the second Camden Collage. As Hedges points out these problems are not just America's problems, there's a lot wrong with where we are heading globally.
In this sense, the piece was a sort of diary of things I'd been reading and thinking about. Jeremy Scahill's Dirty Wars had just come out and that contributed the drones that hover over the whole score for example.
The final images are from this extremely haunting "artist's Impression" of a proposed WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) where waste would be buried that is so toxic that it can basically never be dug up. These are real places: one in New Mexico was just in the papers because it's leaking plutonium. Alan Weismann describes it in his book The World Without Us as one of the few human relics that will remain in the distant future more or less permanently. Perhaps it's a black view of the end point, or one of them, for industrialised societies, but it's also a strangely calming view too – empty and silent.
In 2013 you created a few scores that are a lot more 'graphic' than in the past. What was your inspiration of this direction?
I have veered off in a visual direction a few times before. I became very interested in projection of video as a score starting about 1998 when digital video and projection became more accessible. I guess this culminated in Fantastic Voyage (2002) a "score-film" using images from the Tissue Culture & Art group as a backdrop and template for improvisations by HEDKIKR with Darren Moore. But I moved away from this partly because my research focus shifted to nonlinear formal structures and at the beginning it seemed the best way to evaluate these was when performers were playing notated music.
But in 2009 I became interested in exploring continuously evolving textures (rather than block textures), still in the context of nonlinear structure. I made a piece called Transit of Venus (2009) where the notation for the three players was an evolving "continuum", and scored it graphically. It was actually a transcription of drawing from my notebooks which were originally intended to be just an indication of how the notation would evolve. The continuum scrolls forward and backward in the score and the players are separately sent other parameters – pitch cells, articulation and dynamic contours which appear in other parts of the score. Because of this it is actually quite a challenge to read – I think if I was starting it again now that I've learned more tricks about animating graphics I would probably have approached it differently, maybe more prescriptively.
That year I also put together a performance of Cage's Concert for Piano (1958) and that really had a big impact on me – the breadth of ideas about representing sound graphically in that work are really mindboggling and of course the notation itself is so beautiful and inspiring.
But you are right there was a shift towards a wider range of graphical approaches that started with a work I co-composed with you, The Talking Board (2011). Until that piece I hadn't made scores that were so open to interpretation – I had mostly been interested in graphical notation as a necessary tool when traditional notation couldn't achieve the required function. In fact that is still primarily my interest – several recent scores – Agilus, Mimoid, Symmetriad (2012) and the inaudible becomes audible (2013) are basically a cross between a spectrogram and traditional notation. I really respond to the way the spectrogram represents the dynamism of sound. Both of those pieces were "scrolling" scores also made for the Decibel Scoreplayer and the spectrogram shows time proportionally so it is ideal for the scrolling format where the score moves at a regular speed.
I as a result of experience of making and playing The Talking Board I've become interested in creating a kind of continuum between graphics and sound, so the inaudible, the notation for that work was sketched directly onto a spectrogram of an improvisation, and the electronic part consists of a sonification of the notation – so there is a kind of exchange between the visual and sonic representations.
The work I have just finished, Nature Forms I, explores the same idea from a different point – a score made from treated photographs of "natural" objects (trees, rocks, plants etc) which is sonified by musicians as well as electronically. I've become very interested in what these different forms of notation mean to the performer and the realization of the work. In Nature Forms I the computer "reads the score very literally – as though it were a spectrogram, whereas the three performers each read it differently: as though it were notation, tablature or a less specific aesthetic indication of what to play. I am going to track what each player is looking at in the score while they are playing using eye-tracking glasses and I suppose I hope that will reveal something about what performers draw on when they look at a score for different reasons.
Do you see a certain evolution in your works?
I do and I think that's pretty normal (even it if takes you to some abnormal places). It does have some consequences though, I think it is sometimes hard to find the balance between exhausting all the implications of ideas – which could literally be infinite - and becoming locked into a certain way of working.
Interviews and more
This is where we put interviews , podcasts, artist talks and other deeper insights into our programs and work.


Gudrun V - Calm, so calm.
Distance is easier. We came 92nm in the last 24 hours, thanks to a nice breeze of 16kn that came up yesterday afternoon and pushed us along at 8kn. With sunset the wind left, and I had to take the sail down so it wouldn't get wrapped around the shrouds and get damaged. All night no wind, and we just drifted along with the current. With sunrise some wind came up again, 6-8kn, just enough to sail, and now we're moving ahead with 3 to 4kn again. Slowly, slowly.
Which means that the program for today is the same as yesterday: We hide from the sun until sunset. Liz writes on her book. I write another iPad game. Both working on our next careers ;-). Well, more like following our passions. My first program ever was a text adventure I wrote on the C64, looooong time ago. I'm very excited that I now have some time to get back into that domain. Not text adventures, hehe, writing games. I bought a dozen (e)books in Panama about game design, -theory, -algorithms, and -development. With no escape and distraction on the boat I read them all. I hadn't expected that I could start coding so early, because there is usually too much movement (and things to do) on the boat to sit down in front of the computer for more than half an hour. But this weather is perfect for it.
Programming on the boat reminds me very much of the early 90s, before the internet was widely available, and all the programming forums and tutorial websites sprang up. You have your development environment, a book, and your brains. Go figure it out.

Note: Bishop of Comminges from March 1295, he became archbishop of Bordeaux in 1299. He was elected pope through the manipulation of King Philip IV the Fair of France at Perugia in 1305. By creating a majority of French cardinals, Clement assured a line of French popes. His own pontificate was marked by woe, much of it caused by Philip. Papacy is noted for suppressing the order of the Knights Templar.

Рудолф III фон Тирщайн (; * пр. 1125; † сл. 1156) от линията Фробург-Хомберг на графете на Тирщайн в Зизгау е граф на Хомберг (в Лойфелфинген, кантон Базел Ландшафт) в Швейцария.

Биография

Той е син на граф Рудолф II фон Тирщайн-Фрик-Хомберг († сл. 7 март 1114) и съпругата му Ита фон Хабсбург († сл. 1125), дъщеря на граф Вернер I фон Хабсбург († 1096) и Регилинда фон Неленбург графиня на Баден († 1086). Полубрат е на Вернер I фон Тирщайн-Хомберг († 1141/или сл. 1154), граф на Тирщайн, Фрик и Хомберг.

През края на 12 век графовете фон Тирщайн наследяват замък Пфефинген от графовете фон Заугерн. През средата на 13 век замъкът е реставриран и фамилията фон Тирщайн резидира там. През началото на 14 век замъкът е зависим от епископство Базел и отношенията между епископа и род Тирщайн не са най-добри. През 1335 г. епископът на Базел обсажда неуспешно замъка. Около средата на 14 век фамилията Тирщайн се разделя на две линии. Едната линия живее веднага във Фарнсбург, а другата в Ной-Тирщайн и Пфефинген.

Фамилия
Рудолф III фон Тирщайн се жени за Берта фон Заугерн, дъщеря на граф Удалхард фон Заугерн. Те имат пет деца:
 Рудолф V фон Тирщайн (I) (* пр. 1173; † 1236, убит), женен за Гепа фон Фробург († сл. 1208), дъщеря на граф Фолмар II фон Фробург († 1175)
 Берта фон Тирщайн († сл. 1242)
 Аделхайд фон Тирщайн († сл. 1253), омъжена за Улрих I фон Шнабелбург († сл. 18 март 1255)
 Симон фон Тирщайн († сл. 1208)
 Вернер фон Тирщайн († сл. 1245), каноник в Базел

I've been "cleaning up" this week as Ruach moved me to remove the leaven from my home... I threw out a huge trash bag full of garbage false doctrine and other "natural healing" studies that I realized were so bad and so not what I thought they were. Definitely not of the God I love and want to serve. That act felt so good and even pretty jewelry I once loved I cringed when throwing it out. I want my Redeemer, treasure is in heaven, none of that junk can compare. It qas a real eye and heart opener! I am SO thankful to Yahovah for guiding me to your video that day, it literally led my heart to repentance and rediscovering a deeper love and desire for a walk with them. I'm so happy on this path and grieving about how lost I was in my old ways and incorrect beliefs, how lost I still feel sometimes but I trust I'm being led out of the wilderness.

The James R. Barker has been outfitted with freshwater, closed-loop exhaust gas scrubbers. More specifically, DuPont Marine Scrubbers from BELCO. The scrubbers work to effectively strip the majority of sulfur and particulate matter from the ship's stack emissions, reducing the environmental impact of the ship.
The picture above, taken by Rod Burdick on August 7, 2014, is wonderful, for at least 3 reasons. 1) it is a beautiful picture of the James R. Barker discharging coal at Marquette, Michigan. 2) I have never been to Marquette but we send a lot of coal over there so it is great to have a picture. And if that was not enough, 3) the Kaye E. Barker is seen in the distance. Below, both James and Kaye were also together at the rechristening of the Charles M. Beeghly in Duluth when she became the Hon. James L. Oberstar.
On June 26, 2015, the salt water vessel Eider (the green one) came into port on June 16th to discharge pipe at the Port Terminal. The Great Republic (in the middle) was moving away from the dock as the Barker was passing both on her way to Midwest Energy, a stop the Great Republic was also going to make.
Notice the ice still around on May 4, 2014 as the Barker is leaving the port to deliver coal to Marquette, Michigan.
Picture above taken January 12, 2010 as a deck hand swings down to help tie up the boat at the Murphy Fuel Dock, above, and take on some fuel before going over to Midwest Energy to layup for winter, which means it is time to pack your bags and go home.
On June 21, 2008, she makes the day even brighter as she comes under the Lift Bridge and enters the Duluth harbor.
Picture above taken Friday, March 16, 2001 from the Sundew. The Barker spent the winter of 2000-01 at the Midwest Energy Resources coal dock in Superior. In mid-March, 2001, it was time to load coal for a port within Lake Superior; the Soo locks would not open until March25. The Coast Guard cutter Sundew was called to breakup some of the ice that had formed around the boat. It was a slow and delicate process but the cutter freed the 1,000-footer and she was ready to go. Below, she departed the port on November 16, 2001.
Above, arriving under the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge August 6, 1999.
The above picture was taken in April, 1997.
Anyone know why the Barker has not left dock yet?
Just saw the Barker arrive DLH. Does anyone know why her engines are smoking so heavy?
If you are referring to it looking white it is from the exhaust scrubbers that were installed last year. Her sister ship, mesabi miner just had them installed as well. It is supposed to reduce emissions by a considerable amount.
I lived in Duluth Sept 1975 to Sept 1978. I remember visiting a new 1000 footer that was open to the public in the harbor. Had to be summer '76, '77, or '78. Could it have been the James R Barker in August '76? It was a big event.
Does anyone know where the Barker is? I haven't seen any updates since January. I cannot wait to see my favorite ship return to Duluth.
Coming in today for coal.
she should be arriving through the duluth piers in about 1½ hour…give or take.
Great! I'll be keeping my eyes and ears on the open window!
Headed down later today to check out the James R Barker. Pretty excited to spend some time and catch a few ships on a beautiful fall day in Duluth!
AWESOME, Love watching these bad boys come into the canal. The aerial lift bridge is so fabulous . I could watch this all day long on the mighty Superior waters .
Amen. Nothing better than catching a few ships as they traverse the canal and hanging with some friends by the lift bridge.
