AI created more than one hundred,000 items of music after analyzing Irish and English folks tunes
For example, a sharp on B would increase it to B♯ while a flat would decrease it to B♭. The high "4" signifies that there are 4 beats per measure (additionally referred to as bar). The backside "four" indicates that every of these beats are quarter notes. Measures divide the piece into groups of beats, and the time signatures specify these groupings.
This music was written for monks to sing in church. It is called Chant (or Gregorian chant). Following the clef, the important thing signature on a employees indicates the important thing of the piece or song by specifying that sure notes are flat or sharp all through the piece, until in any other case indicated with accidentals added before certain notes. When a pointy is placed earlier than a observe, this makes that note one semitone greater. When a flat is positioned earlier than a observe, this makes that notice one semitone lower.

A New AI Can Write Music as Well as a Human Composer
The phrase "pop music" was used from about 1880 onwards, when a sort of music referred to as music was well-liked. Jazz is a sort of music that was invented round 1900 in New Orleans in the south of the USA. There were many black musicians living there who performed a method of music called blues music.

According to TheNextWeb, Zukowski and Carr created a recurrent neural community called SampleRNN to spit out an AI's approximation of what an album pulled straight from the death steel genre may sound like. The result?
Anyone could make up his or her own pieces of music. It is not troublesome to compose simple songs or melodies (tunes). It's simpler for people who can play an instrument themselves. All it takes is experimenting with the sounds that an instrument makes. Someone can make up a piece that tells a story, or simply find a nice tune and take into consideration methods it can be changed each time it's repeated.
But the songs are still strikingly comparable in terms of their musical style, to an extent that an off-the-cuff metallic fan would possibly assume they came from a real artist. They have created an AI referred to as "Aiva" (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) and taught it how to compose classical music – an emotional artwork which is normally considered to be a uniquely human quality. Aiva's musical pieces are used as soundtracks for film administrators, promoting agencies, and even recreation studios. We added several totally different sorts of embeddings to give the mannequin more structural context.
While an A.I. could not be capable of out-Adele Adele (or Aretha Franklin, or Joni Mitchell) with a timeless song and efficiency, it could possibly compose a compelling melody for a YouTube video, cell sport, or elevator journey sooner, cheaper, and almost in addition to a … Read More


Would just like to tell you about a little exhibition I will be having, (well actually, I'd like to shout it from the rooftops!).
July 23 – 24th I will be exhibiting some of my felted works in Chelsea Town Hall on The King's Road in London. I only have a small space for my pieces, as it was rather expensive! This is part of an exhibition by national and international artists, so I am excited but very nervous, and this will be a huge learning curve, and hopefully opportunity, for me.
The 23rd and 24th are open days to the public, however, there is a private viewing on the Friday evening of the 22nd. If anyone would like to join me for support on the Friday evening, please let me know as soon as possible, as this is invitation only and I have to send out official paperwork.

Q: Application does not exit on logout I would like to ask what is the signal that is called when the user logs out? I have a Qt gui app that has handler for SIGTERM and SIGHUP signals. The app also has its own close event handler, so user can't close it by clicking on "X". The problem is that when the user logs out then the ubuntu hangs (the icon from taskbar disappears but the process keeps running) and does not let the user log out because (imo) it waits for the process to be terminated. When I use kill -15 'myapp' command then the app closes normally as it is supposed to so the problem shouldn't be in my handler.
static int setupHandlers(){
    struct sigaction hup,term;

    hup.sa_handler = signalHandler;
    sigemptyset(&hup.sa_mask);
    hup.sa_flags = 0;

    if (sigaction(SIGHUP, &hup, 0) > 0){
       return 1;
    }

    term.sa_handler = signalHandler;
    sigemptyset(&term.sa_mask);

    if (sigaction(SIGTERM, &term, 0) > 0){
        return 2;
    }

    return 0;
}

signalHandler just calls exit(0) (also tried _exit(0) and abort())

A: There are 3 standart terminating signals, that you can handle - SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM. Try to subscribe to each one of them and look.

A:
signalHandler just calls exit(0) (also tried _exit(0) and abort())

You rather need to tell Qt to exit. Your signal handler need to have a reference on the application object and call QCoreApplication::exit(0);.
Whether it is by SIGTERM or by the user user input, your application need to nicely handle termination requests. In particular ensure that all objects which launch a process or a thread are cleanly destroyed when it happens. The classic code inspired from QtCreator :
    d->m_guiProcess.terminate();
    if (!d->m_guiProcess.waitForFinished(1000)) { // This is blocking, so be fast.
        d->m_guiProcess.kill();
        d->m_guiProcess.waitForFinished();
    }

The code executing this need to stop, so it first forward nicely a SIGTERM (terminate), wait for small amount of time and then ask rudely with a SIGKILL (kill).

Law enforcement fatalities spiked in 2021. Covid-19 was the leading cause of death. – NBC News
The number of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty across the U.S. last year totaled 458, a 55 percent increase from 2020, the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund said in a report released Tuesday.
Covid-19 was the leading cause of death, having killed 301 federal, state, tribal and local officers, the report said.
"It has been reported to NLEOMF that these officers have died due to direct exposure to the virus during the commission of their official duties," the report said.
The number represented a dramatic jump in 50 years of data in the report. Just one decade — the 1970s — averaged more than 200 deaths a year.
The report mentions only one other year that topped 300 deaths — 1930.
Criminal assaults accounted for 84 deaths last year, including those of 62 officers who were killed by gunfire. Traffic incidents were responsible for 58 deaths. The numbers of gunfire and traffic deaths both rose from the year before, the report says. The number of officers killed in "ambush-style attacks" also rose: 19 last year, up from six in 2020.
The remaining deaths were attributed to health issues, drownings and other causes.
"This year's statistics demonstrate that America's front-line law enforcement officers continue to battle the deadly effects of the Covid-19 pandemic nationwide," the report says.
In Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott banned all public and private entities from mandating vaccinations, 84 officers died from Covid-19, the most in the country. Florida (52) was next, followed by Georgia (39), California (24) and North Carolina (21). Eleven states and Washington, D.C., had no Covid-19 deaths, the report says.
The report doesn't say how many of the officers were vaccinated; police union officials from Chicago to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and New York City to Seattle have spoken out against vaccination mandates. New York City's largest police union told its members in September that it would take legal action to defend their "right to make such personal medical decisions."
The widow of a Philadelphia police officer who died from Covid-19 on March 3 — and had been scheduled to get his first shot on March 11 — told NBC News last year that she was "really disappointed" with the opposition.
"I wish that they saw it as another means of protection," she said. "And I wish that they saw the vaccine as a way that they are protecting and serving the people that they work with."
Sheriffs in California, Kansas, Florida and elsewhere have said they wouldn't enforce vaccination requirements. An advertisement posted Tuesday by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office in Washington state listed "no vaccine mandate" as a perk of the job.
In October, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis offered $5,000 signing bonuses to vaccine-resistant officers and deputies who moved from out of state to Florida, where, he said, "nobody should lose their job based off these injections."

January 7, 1926 – Melrose, Massachusetts, USA
November 16, 2022 – Calgary, Alberta
Estelle passed away peacefully, aged 96, with family at her side. She will be deeply missed by her children, Sherry Ramsden (Leagh), Joan Norbom (Mark), and Bradford Burton (Mayte); grandchildren, Philip (Diane), Laura (Brent), Gregory (Jacylne), Jack (Caitlin), Max, Rebecca, and Russell (Summer); great-grandchildren, Madison, Rylee, Sebastian, Brenya, Sadie, Cailee, James, Adele, Noah, Khleo and Khaia; brother, Fr. John Pierce OFM; as well as her extended family and the many friends she made on her journey through life.
Born in Melrose, Massachusetts, one of six children of Ralph Pierce and Frances Mutty, Estelle spent her childhood exploring Walden's Pond, skiing Mount Hood, and digging clams on the beach at Cape Cod. She was always proud of her maiden name, as a direct descendant of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States (a fact she loved to drop into any conversation).
Estelle received her Registered Nurse diploma from St. Elizabeth's Hospital and worked in the Boston area for several years before joining WIMSA (Women in Military Service for America) to help the World War II effort. After the war, Estelle moved to Topeka, Kansas for work at the Menninger Clinic. This is where she met her future husband, Robert (Bob) Burton, who was recovering from a combat injury sustained in the Solomon Islands during WWII. Together the young couple lived in Manhattan, Kansas, then in East Glacier Park and Billings, Montana where she fully embraced the adventurous western way of life.
In 1966, Estelle and Bob moved their family to Calgary. They spent weekends exploring the Alberta wilderness from their remote cabin. Estelle had a natural talent for knitting and sewing, creating beautifully intricate pieces. She was an avid reader and operagoer and enjoyed a varied social life, including the Calgary Golf and Country Club. She was especially proud to have been a founding member (and later President) of the First Emigrant Chapter of The National Society of Colonial Dames of the 17th Century.
After the death of her husband in 1976, Estelle worked at PanCanadian Petroleum Ltd. and later married Vernon V. Van Sant Jr., who passed away in 1991. Estelle then decided to try her hand at oil painting and produced many works, with several being sold or winning ribbons at the annual Calgary Stampede Art Show. She also pursued her love of travel, frequently visiting family in North America, Europe and Asia.
Estelle always put family first. She was our anchor and dearly loved each and every one of us. For that, we are eternally grateful.
Estelle's family send their heartfelt appreciation and thanks to Mayfair Care Centre, whose nurses, companions, and staff members were absolutely wonderful with our mother. You became her family when we could not be there.
Please join Estelle's family for a Celebration of her Life to be held at McInnis & Holloway (Park Memorial, 5008 Elbow Drive SW, Calgary, AB) on Saturday, January 7, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Reception to follow. Condolences, memories, and photos can also be shared and viewed here.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation, in memory of Estelle, to Operation Smile, an organization she passionately supported for years: http://support.operationsmile.org/site/TR?px=3064502&fr_id=2576&pg=personal
In living memory of Estelle, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes, Park Memorial, 5008 Elbow Drive SW, Calgary, AB T2S 2L5, Telephone: 403-243-8200.

UPDATE: Being 365 featured in Frieze magazine Critic's Guide to Southeast Asia. Check out the link here!
In a lengthy portrait series, artist Emily Phyo, a performance and installation artist in Myanmar, photographed 365 human portraits on the 365 days of 2015. She records names, ages, and faces of each. What makes these portraits so marvelous and unique is their ability to relate to much of her other work, candid and diverse. A measuring tape hides the eyes of her subjects, giving a false anonymity, in contrast to the details she lists on each of her portraits. Posted on Instagram and Facebook, she performed this photographic series in real time, and its record is displayed at Myanm/art in order to reflect on a year gone, and 365 lives lived.
Opens Saturday, 13 August at 6 pm. Runs through 1 September 2016.

I've just been trying to use Lightroom CC (new version) and there is no way to convert any of the RAW images to DNG. Or am I missing something? This is an import from a Panasonic G7, all the photo's show as RW2 the original Raw format.
Lightroom CC cannot convert files on import or after import. Lightroom CC is a completely new app that has very little relation to the application that used to be called Lightroom CC 2015. It is not a new version of Lightroom, it is basically a port of the mobile version of Lightroom to the Desktop. The normal Lightroom is now called Lightroom Classic and does all the things like converting to dng and printing. Lightroom CC is a new app that stores everything in the cloud but that currently misses about 90% of the features that are present in Lightroom Classic. Lightroom Classic is the Lightroom that you are probably used to.

Last October, I was fortunate enough to attend the California Association of Realtors Conference and Expo in San Diego. One of the highlights of the multi-day event was the presentation given by Leslie Appleton-Young, the Chief Economist for the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.). The presentation was a 2018 California Housing Forecast, and included very detailed charts and statistics.
I recorded the audio of the presentation on my iPhone and received the PowerPoint slides later from Leslie herself. With the audio and the slides, I was able to create the video you see here on this page.
It should be noted that the much of the presentation details what had already happened in California in 2017. After all, much of what will happen in 2018 will be dictated by what happened in the past. And some of the presentation is intended for the audience seated in the hall that day, that is to say, members of the California Association of REALTORS. But most of the information will be of considerable interest to anyone who is concerned with housing in California. Given the incredibly high cost of housing here, I figure you'll be interested in a lot of this information whether you rent or own.


Here we get a little more understanding of Frank Volkheimer, one of the most complicated characters in the book. Like Werner, Volkheimer felt like an outsider during his time at the National Institute—perhaps this is why he's drawn to Werner, as a kindred spirit.
Werner is contemplating suicide at this point. He's been full of guilt and self-hatred for so long that he has few reservations about ending his own life now.

These actions release tiny droplets that contain the flu virus into the air.
The flu shot is safe and is the best way to prevent the flu. You cannot get the flu from the flu shot. Most people do not have any side effects. Severe reactions are very rare.
If you do get sick, stay home. Avoid close contact with other people until you feel well enough to get back to your usual day-to-day activities. This will help prevent the spread of the flu.
Your risk is lower the rest of the year.
People 65 years and older; The immune system changes with age and this can make it harder for the body to fight off infections. People over the age of 65 are also more likely to have health conditions which can worsen if they get the flu.
People who live in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities; The flu spreads quickly, especially in communal spaces. Residents are also more likely to have health conditions which can worsen if they get the flu.
Children under 5 years of age; Because of their age, their immune system is still building immunity to fight off serious infections.
Pregnant women; During pregnancy, the body goes through many changes that can affect the immune system, heart and lungs. These changes can make it harder for the body to fight off infections.
Women who get the flu shot during pregnancy pass on immunity to their baby. This is especially important, as babies younger than 6 months can't get vaccinated against the flu. Getting your flu shot can help protect your baby from the flu after birth.
Indigenous peoples; There is a higher risk of flu-related complications and/or hospitalization for Indigenous peoples. This is a result of multiple factors, including a high occurrence of chronic health conditions, reduced access to health care, and other social and environmental factors.
The flu… don't pass it on!
Transcript - The flu…don't pass it on!
Each year up to 7 million Canadians get the flu.
Animated video. Snapshots of people are pinned to a corkboard, similar to a police evidence board. A mug shot of a woman has the letter "A" written next to her head. Sticky note says "No flu shot".
Let's look in on Person "A" who has not had a flu shot.
The woman is looking very ill.
Over the next few days, she will get sick with the flu.
Woman coughs into her hand and rubs her cheek.
She woke up this morning with a fever, cough, sore throat and headache.
"A" goes to pharmacy to buy flu medicine and coughs into her hand.
New photo of the woman with a shopping cart in a pharmacy. She coughs into her hand and we see saliva flying from her mouth onto her hand and the shopping cart.
Her hand on the cart handle is showing germs. A red circle is drawn around her hand.
A line is drawn on the corkboard, bringing us to a photo of Grandpa. The letter "B" is written above his head.
Woman "A" and Grandpa "B" exchange greetings.
"A" greets her grandfather "B" at the pharmacy refraining from the usual hug, and kisses, but still transferring some germs on to his hands when she picks up an item on the floor that grandpa dropped.
The woman picks up a box dropped by Grandpa and hands it to him. Germs from her hands are transferred onto the box, and then to Grandpa.
Sticky note reads "After age 65, the immune system starts to weaken."
Grandpa shakes hands with an old friend "C", who happens to be undergoing treatment for cancer and has a weakened immune system.
A line is drawn on the corkboard from Grandpa to Grandpa's friend, a grey-haired lady. She has the letter "C" written above her head. Sticky note reads "At higher risk of complications from the flu."
"C" goes off to play cards with friends.
Not all have had flu shots.
Getting a flu shot helps stop the chain reaction.
New picture of grandpa's friend "C" and three older people playing cards. Two are protected by bubbles to show they have been immunized. Sticky note reads: "Protected: got the flu shot". Two other card players do not have bubbles around them.
Later that day, the shopping cart that "A" held onto with her germy hand, is then taken by customer "D" with her baby.
Lines are drawn from the shopping cart photo to a new photo of a Mother and her baby. The letter "D" is written above them. Picture of the baby sitting in a shopping cart sucking on the cart's handle. A red circle is drawn showing germs on the handle.
Mother "D" and baby go off to play group together, continuing the chain reaction.
Other picture showing baby and mother in play group setting. Sticky note reads: "Babies under six months are too young to get a flu shot"
Protect yourself and those around you.
The flu: don't pass it on!
The entire diorama of dozens of photos on the corkboard is revealed. Lines grow to connect many of the photos together. We see that all the photos are set on a map of Canada.


Ever Wonder Why Jesus Spent so Much Time Making Tables?
Ever wonder why Jesus spent so much time making tables? Why did he spend the vast majority of his life on earth working with his hands in a carpentry shop?
Surely he, of all people, had a divine mission so urgent and important that it exempted him from years of hard work at a lowly job that lacked any religious merit.
Here was the Son of God sent to earth on a redemptive mission of seeking and saving the lost, of proclaiming the gospel, yet he spent the vast majority of his time in an obscure carpentry shop.
This doesn't seem to be a very smart use of Jesus's extraordinary gifts or his messianic mission.
…Or maybe not. Maybe we're the ones who have poorly defined sacred and secular.
We can already learn a lesson from this: If we feel like our spiritual gifts are not being well used in our work for a season, that's okay – welcome to the life of Jesus.
Also when we (as we so often do) feel like God has given us a huge mission to accomplish, yet what we do every day isn't outwardly related to that mission, that's okay, too. We must look for ways that our work develops our character, our skills, and our faith while we wait.
If Jesus were to come today as he did then, He could carry out His mission through most any decent and useful occupation. He could be a clerk or accountant in a hardware store, a computer repairman, a banker, an editor, doctor, waiter, teacher, farmhand, lab technician, or construction worker. He could run a housecleaning service or repair automobiles.
In other words, if Jesus were to come today he could very well do what you do. He could very well live in your apartment or house, hold down your job, have your education and life prospects, and live within your family surroundings and time. None of this would be the least hindrance to the eternal kind of life that was His by nature and becomes available to us through Him.
Jesus' contentment to work day after day constructing things in his shop was truly stunning. Jesus's hands not only created the world but also the wood in his carpentry shop. The master craftsman of the universe spent much of his life on earth crafting wood with his hands.
The One who masterfully crafted humans from dust was making chairs for people to sit on.
I would be willing to bet these chairs were crafted with the finest wood available and carefully fit together with extraordinary attention to detail.
No crooked table legs or ill-fitting drawers ever, I dare swear, came out of the carpenter's shop at Nazareth. Nor, if they did, could anyone believe that they were made by the same hand that made Heaven and earth.
It was Jesus's years of obscure work in a carpentry shop that laid the foundation for his earthly ministry. It was the excellent craftsmanship of his tables that gave credibility to his life-giving words.
We are rightly in awe of Jesus, who shockingly ignores cultural convention by picking up a basin and towel and washing His disciples' dirty, stinky feet. Yet we tend to forget that Jesus had been modeling a basin-and-towel kind of servanthood in a carpentry shop for years. Jesus' humble service in the workplace was the training ground for that glorious display of servanthood in the upper room in Jerusalem.
If I ever get an "upper room moment" in my life, I want to have decades of practice serving others in vocational faithfulness.
I disagree with Dorothy Sayers. Her quote implies that Jesus never had to learn his trade. I believe just the opposite. His first attempts at carpentry or stonemasonry were not expert at all. Nor is imperfect work somehow a moral failure. Jesus lived in the fallen world as we do; he worked with defective tools and limited resources. Sayers confuses the divinity of the Son, the agent of creation, with his humanity in Nazareth. Jesus grew in wisdom. He also had to improve his human capital just as we do.
Not to mention the possibility that, like you mention, he didn't build tables, but worked with stone. To make such a definitive statement seems like a weak leg as it were (pun intended).
– where is the mention of Jesus waiting to 30 in order to fulfill the age requirement of a priest, as outlined in Numbers 4?
– where are the biblical references to Jesus earning credibility from his carpentry work, as compared to his miracles, baptism, commendation of the Father, defeat of Satan's temptation, his birth city, his genealogy, and His resurrection?
– what did Jesus expect His followers to remember about Him? What would be truly enduring from generation to generation until His return? A chair or His promises?
– Why does Luke 3:23 describe that Jesus' ministry began, at the time of his baptism, but not apply that term to his previous labors? And how does that direct the applications we make to ourselves?
I surely do not hope to diminish the desire toward motivating faithfulness, servanthood, and the like, but want to challenge each other in what ways we use the scriptures and particularly the life of Christ to motivate people to that end. Take care!
Thanks for your response Jeff! You raise some good points and I'm glad you added them to the conversation. My intention was certainly not to elevate these years of Jesus' ministry over the many works he did after He was baptized. But I don't think that Jesus was just working to pass the time until he was 30. I think the Dallas Willard quote hits at the point I'm trying to make.
He was not merely passing the time as you state. He was fulfilling all righteousness. He was keeping the law on our behalf. He was fulfilling the calling Adam had abdicated in terms of work. At Jesus' baptism the Father affirmed his pleasure in his Son. It is not a stretch to hear in the Father's words a blessing on his past work – the work he'd been doing in Nazareth.
An odd essay, given that we have no reason to believe that Jesus made any tables. He and his father were what is translated as "carpenters," which usually meant people in the construction business, not cabinet-makers or furniture makers. While the sentiment is nice, it would be more effective if not based on highly dubious historical claims.
Thank you for a beautiful article Austin. I am one of those people who feels like he is waiting for an upper-room assignment. I desire to build my ministry but I find myself in hallways with middle school students – as a MS principal – and in family activities with my wife and three kids. You have given me solace because you have helped me see that what I'm doing now can prepare me (if my attitude is right) for future opportunities to share my story. You have also helped me remember that God's timing and will is best.
There is no evidence Jesus spent 18 years as a carpenter. If he did how did he manage to be crucified in Egypt?
I have to wonder if Joseph and Jesus (and his younger brothers) provided their construction/carpentry services to vile Gentile sinners, or only to the well-heeled Jewish Pharisees of his day. If he wanted to use his occupation as a springboard for ministry I would have to guess than anyone could be his customer (regardless of Josephs personal beliefs). After all, if you want to reach the world, then why not provide them with over the top services and products – along with your testimony. It might just be the only time they will hear the Gospel that Jesus accepts all repenters, and they can be freed from Satans chains on their life. If you have been following the news, you know where I am going with this. Christian, reach out to your customers who are going to hell. That is your ministry.

Another ice disk grabs attention in Maine
January 18, 2019 GMT
MILLINOCKET, Maine (AP) — The massive ice disk that formed on a Maine river has a baby brother.
Officials at Baxter State Park in northern Maine shared a photo of an ice disk that's about 30 or 40 feet wide, located in wilderness more than 200 miles north of much larger disk that formed in Westbrook.
Ranger Dave Loome said the perfect circle of ice stood out Wednesday when he cruised by Nesowdnehunk (Neh-SOUD'-nuh-hunk) Stream on a snowmobile. He snapped a photo that went viral.
The first ice disk, about 100 yards wide, attracted international attention after it was spotted in the Presumpscot River in Westbrook.
Crowds were mesmerized as the naturally occurring disk spun slowly in Westbrook. It stopped once but a paddle-boarder managed to get it going again.
This story has been corrected to identify the ranger's last name as Loome, not Loomed.

Here's Why New York Needs To Legalize Medical Marijuana Now
by Jeannie Herer | Jun 6, 2014 | Archives | 0 comments
The Huffington Post | By Matt Ferner & Christopher Mathias

On Wednesday, Cuomo announced that New York will be the second state to launch medical marijuana trials for children suffering from epilepsy. Those trials, however, are limited to Epidiolex, a drug developed by GW Pharmaceuticals that contains a plant-derived, highly purified form of cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. CBD is often used for medicinal purposes, but doesn't produce the "high" sensation associated with marijuana.
While Epidiolex offers promising possibilities, medical marijuana advocates were outraged by the governor's announcement, saying that limited trials don't go far enough for patients in the state and that Cuomo needs to come out in strong support of the Compassionate Care Act now.
"We don't need a limited research program that will only help the lucky few who can get in enrolled," said Wendy Conte of Orchard Park, New York, whose daughter Anna suffers from a severe seizure disorder.

This video, "The City of Samba," is made up of 169,000 photos from 416 time-lapse sequences, shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by Jarbas Agnelli and Keith Loutit. Fantastic! The carnival looks so incredible, make sure you wait the two minutes to see it.


One of Egypt's leading novelists, Ahdaf Soueif, has accused Egypt's military-backed authorities of "waging a war on the young" on the opening day of an expedited trial against 24 human rights activists in Cairo.
"They are trying to push people back into the spirit that the Mubarak regime created, to make young people feel like they can't change things ," Soueif said.
"This is about telling the youth that they need to stay out of it, that their protests aren't going to work. But you don't take on young people in this way – it's their future and they need to shape it."
The youth activists, who led the charge against the former president Hosni Mubarak in 2011, have been among the greatest casualties of a crackdown that followed the fall of his successor, Mohamed Morsi, in July last year.
The interior ministry says at least 16,000 people have been arrested since Morsi was overthrown. Independent rights groups put the figure closer to 36,000.
The leadership of the once-feted April 6 Youth Movement is mostly behind bars. The revolutionary talisman Alaa Abdel Fattah was sentenced to 15 years in jail for allegedly organising a protest – an act banned under a law implemented last November, and used to jail several revolutionary leaders.
His sister and Soueif's niece, 20-year-old Sanaa Seif, was among 24 people on trial in Cairo on Sunday, accused of protesting illegally, possessing fireworks, damaging public property, and a "show of force with the aim of terrorizing citizens".
The group was arrested on 21 June as hundreds demonstrated against a law that criminalises unsanctioned protests. Although most had been taking part in the event, one defendant – the award-winning human rights lawyer Yara Sallam – was reportedly arrested while purchasing refreshments from a nearby kiosk.
According to those present at Tora prison's police academy courthouse, judge Ahmed Rashwan left without informing lawyers of his decision. A prison guard later said the court had been adjourned to 16 September.
Rights groups and lawyers have accused Egypt's judiciary of sealing the crackdown against the country's youth activists with a flurry of draconian prison sentences.
"With every sham proceeding, it becomes increasingly clear that Egyptian judges are walking in lockstep with President Sisi to purge Egypt of opposition," said Sarah Leah Whitson, director of the Middle East and north Africa division at Human Rights Watch.
"The arrogance and sense of being above the law that was on full display in the courtroom is becoming all too commonplace in today's Egypt where there is no accountability for misconduct."
On Saturday, Egyptian social media was awash with images of the prominent youth activist Mahienour al-Massry in a courtroom cage in Alexandria. As the judge deliberated an appeal against a two-year jail term she is serving for organising an illegal protest, a shaft of light illuminated her small, white-clad form.
The recent criminalisation of street demonstrations, which are traditionally the preserve of youth activists, has had a significant impact on the ability and willingness of opposition groups to mobilise.
Small pro-Morsi protests persist on Friday afternoons, but they are usually shut down by police. Revolutionary groups also hold occasional protests, but their numbers are much depleted.
"Wake up! Whether we protest in the street or stay at home it's all a disaster," Sana Seif tweeted last month. "We are in danger and I would rather be pulled in resisting than defeated and staying home."
Egypt is tightening control over social media by acquiring new software that will facilitate extensive monitoring of young people's communications, putting even stay-at-home opposition supporters at risk. "It's actually the young people who don't go to protests, but sit at home sharing and liking statuses who are most at risk from this sort of surveillance," said Eva Blum-Dumontet, advocacy officer at Privacy International.
"They are not leaders and they may not have previously been on the authorities' radar, but this way they become exposed."
The Egyptian political class have often been accused of being out of touch with the needs of the country's bulging youth population, who bear much of the brunt of the country's economic and social woes. Every year, more than 800,000 young Egyptians join the job market – which already has an unemployment rate of 13.4%.
Much of the cabinet and the military top brass are over 60 years of age. At 59, President Sisi was the youngest member of the military council that ruled Egypt in the immediate aftermath of the Mubarak's overthrow.
"The regime needs to realise that for a lot of young people, there is no going back now," said Rasha Abdalla, an associate professor at the American University in Cairo.
"They have watched their friends being shot before their eyes, knowing it might as well have been them … No one is immune." A number of Abdalla's own students have been jailed after taking part in demonstrations.


President Maithripala Sirisena says a gazette notification will be issued under existing laws to give all private lands which are not cultivated to those who are willing to cultivate them. He said all government's lands also will be cultivated in relation to this program.
He said that decision will be taken under the Vaga Sangramaya program to be launched next month to increase the food production by bringing the drought affected lands to the normal conditions.
The President was speaking at the occasion tovest the new Pradeshiya Sabha building in Dimbulagala with people today (Sep. 09).
He said the government is taking all these decisions to save the people of the country from poverty, strengthen the national economy and to build a prosperous country for future generations.
The President said it is a balanced development that the government is carrying out, related to all sectors including education, health and social welfare. "The plan of the current government includes a development which will be shared among all", he said.
"I don't have a policy to inquire about the political party of the people when they seek solutions for the problems. I will provide solutions for the problems when fulfilling the people's requirements", the President stated. He said the people of Polonnaruwa voted for him without any division of the political parties or colours. He added he would fairly provide the opportunities of the development to all, without any political divisions.
"The responsibility of the current government is not to pay attention on the undue allegations and criticisms of the political rivals in this democracy ensured by the government, but to fulfill our responsibility", he emphasized.
The Pradeshiya Sabha building which has every required facility, has been built at a cost of Rs.7000000, with the objective of performing rural administrative work strongly and efficiently.
The President who arrived in the Pradeshiya Sabha premises engaged in religious activities in the Buddha mandiraya there. He then unveiled the plaque and vested the building with public. He also planted a Na sapling in the Pradeshiya Sabha premises.
Dimbulagama Aranya Senasanadhipathi Ven. Villane Siriyalankara Thero and Maha Sangha, State Minister Vasantha Aluwihare, Chief Minister of North Central Province Peshala Jayarathne, member of the North Central Provincial Council Jayantha Marasinghe, members of Provincial Council N. A. Sampath and H. M. Anzar were among those participated in this event.

← Thank you Jessica Fletcher!
I know…it's Friday and you def don't want another stupid email…but, have to do it…Cuz' ya know how I'm all the "GET YOUR GO-BAG READY" advocate, right? But right now, as I type this, I'm all MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER….LIKE GET ONE TODAY. There is a huge fire in my neighborhood in a very tall building right now, and I'm just wanting to make sure I have done my due diligence to share what little I know about how to stay safe.
AVOID SMOKE: Have (or travel with) a roll of duct tape to seal doors from smoke, use a wet towel to cover your face, stay low to the ground.

Q: 'vector iterators incompatible' std::vector<Enemy*>::iterator it;
for(it;it!=tracked.end();it++){
    (*it)->update(timeSinceLastFrame);
}

tracked is the vector:
std::vector<Enemy*>

Why am I getting this error? (please say if I haven't included enough details)

A: You haven't initialized it. Try this:
std::vector<Enemy*>::iterator it;
for(it=tracked.begin();it!=tracked.end();it++){
    (*it)->update(timeSinceLastFrame);
}

A: You never initialized the iterator.
for(std::vector<Enemy*>::iterator it = tracked.begin();it!=tracked.end();it++){
    (*it)->update(timeSinceLastFrame);
}

Many implementations (such as VC++, which you appear to be using) perform checks in debug to make sure that when two iterators are compared, they belong to the same object. A default constructed iterator does not belong to any particular instance, and as such the it != tracked.end() check will fail with that error.

DUBAI, Destinations :Rotana Hotels: Treasured Time, Our Promise to You.
The Al Fahidi fort located in Bur Dubai behind Al Fahidi St, houses Dubai Museum. The old fort building contains regular exhibits of weapons, traditional costumes and musical instruments and the courtyard has good examples of 'arish huts and wooden boats. The new underground section of the museum houses wonderfully lifelike exhibits of an ancient souq, a quran school, typical Arabic households and an oasis. There is also a display on the desert by night with interesting local wildlife. A separate room is dedicated to lively modern exhibits of pearl diving and fishing. Archaeological finds are displayed near the shop.
This affluent suburb to the south of Dubai city is the location of an important archaeological site dating to the early Islamic period. Large houses built of beach rock (farush) covered with lime plaster have been excavated at Jumeirah by a team from the Dubai Museum. Based on a study of the pottery found at the site, Jumeirah seems to date to the first two or three centuries of the Islamic era. Thus, it is in part contemporary with the sequence at Kush in northern Ra's al-Khaimah, and with Jazirat al-Hulaylah. Jumeirah is, however, the only complete settlement with well-preserved architecture yet excavated from this important period. A selection of the finds from Jumeirah can be seen in Dubai Museum.
Located next to Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoums's House in Al Shindagha, the village features reconstructions of Dubai's maritime past. Displays include a tented bedouin village with traditional weapons, chests and household utensils. Shops sell handicrafts and camel and donkey rides are sometimes available. Folk dance and music performances are staged from time to time. The village boasts a number of cafeterias and a seafood restaurant.
From the world's biggest shopping mall to the intimacy of the souk, from dazzling jewelries, gold and designer fashions to a simple bag of spices, from Arabian art and crafts to a Western-style tailored suit, Dubai's array of shopping opportunities is unparalleled in the Middle East.
Dubai showcases leading brands from around the world, with an increasing choice of fashion and jewelries imported from Europe and elsewhere to complement locally produced luxury goods. Expect to find a vast choice of beautiful carpets from across Asia; high-carat gold and exquisite precious stones, fine porcelain, fragrant perfumes and electrical goods, all at great prices: shoppers in Dubai benefit from the city`s tax-free shopping policies and low import duties, meaning much merchandise is available for less than in its country of origin.
Dubai's rapid development as a luxury travel destination is due in large part to its classy shopping. The Dubai Mall, part of the Burj Dubai development, is set to become the world's biggest shopping mall when completed in 2008; the Emirates Mall will boast the world`s largest indoor ski slope under its roof, and the spectacular Dubailand complex is adding another dimension to Dubai's shopping and entertainment options.
This jewel of the Middle East offers some of the world's most palatial shopping malls, notably on the Bur Dubai side of the Creek. A few of the premier malls for luxury goods and designer labels are the pyramidal Wafi Mall, The Village on Jumeirah Beach Road and the Twin Towers on Beniyas Road. The residence of high-fashion BurJuman brings the world before your eyes. Here`s where the world`s leading brands mingle comfortably with one another. Temptations abound, but the feeling of getting the finest in an ambience of absolute comfort and luxury is wonderful. With 300 leading stores including Saks 5th Avenue, you`ll always be spoilt for choice. Located in the heart of Dubai, the BurJuman Centre is a distinctive landmark which comprises of 800,000 square feet of retail space.
The Deira district is a shoppers' delight: Deira City Centre features 280 stores, a definitive 'shop till you drop' experience, whilst the Al Bustan and Abu Hail Shopping Centres, the Galleria and Hamarain Centre sell leading brands of fashion, watches, jewellery, sports goods and more under one roof.
Dubai`s oldest shopping centre, Al Ghurair Retail City, offers over 100 stores selling exotic perfumes, elegant clothes and electrical items as well as refreshment centres. Another eminent shopping area is the Jumeirah district, featuring an assortment of fashionable malls including Magrudy's Shopping Mall, the Beach Centre, Markaz Al Jumeirah, the Town Centre and Jumaira Plaza, whilst Lamcy Plaza offers plenty of fun for the family.
Just outside Dubai is the UAE's second largest shopping centre, the Ibn Battuta Mall, where five themed shopping 'zones' take their design inspiration from China, India, Persia, Morocco and Eygpt.
Dubai is also famous the world over for its souks. The Gold Souk sells high-carat gold jewelry, gold bars and bullion coins, plus dazzling necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Neighboring the Gold Souk is the Spice Souk, where aromatic spices from all over the Middle East are brought together. For the best perfumes in Dubai, visit the Perfume Souk, the home of thousands of seductive aromas. Dubai is also one of the best places outside Iran to buy Persian carpets.
The Al Fahidi Street sells all manner of electrical goods, Cosmos Lane for rich fabrics from East and West. Just outside the city centre is Karama, the place for bargains. The Al Mulla Plaza is another place to shop if you are looking for something out of the ordinary and a little less expensive than the upscale shopping malls.
Worthy of special mention is the Dubai Shopping Festival, a retail extravaganza attracting millions each year for a month starting mid-January, when even better bargains are to be had on shopping and at hotels.
Today, crude oil plays a minor part in the emirate's economy and other principal industries include international trade, manufacture, tourism, finance and service related industries. Dubai is hailed as a model of economic development in the Middle East and continues to grow, attracting foreign workers from all over the world. Its population is estimated at just over 1 million with the majority being expatriates and non-UAE nationals. The emirate is continuously developing its infrastructure with large property developments and landmark skyscrapers being the order of the day, including the Palm Islands, a massive project that will expand and transform Dubai's coastline.
Tourism plays a major role in Dubai's growth today based on its sunshine, clean and welcoming environment, good shopping and a range of sporting facilities, coupled with an array of high standard resorts and hotels. Dubai hosts the world's richest horse race, the Dubai World Cup and the European Tour Dubai Classic Golf Tournament. Tourists can enjoy many activities in Dubai such as golf, joining the fun at Wild Wadi, Dubai's premier water park for adults and kids, a desert safari, taking a dhow cruise or relaxing on the beach. Dubai is also known for its shopping with glitzy shopping malls stocking international brands and designer labels to the traditional souks, including the gold, textile and spice souks. Dubai also has a vibrant nightlife with many of the best bars mostly found in the hotels and resorts.
Dubai's central district is divided into two parts by its creek; Deira on the north side and Bur Dubai to the south. These are connected by a tunnel and two bridges. Deira is the commercial and business centre of Dubai and home to the souks. Jumeirah Beach lies to the west of the creek and is home to many of Dubai's premier hotels and resorts.
No corporate income taxes, no foreign exchange controls, competitive labour, energy, and real estate costs; attracted and still attracting overseas companies to set up their business in Dubai.

EMC introduces 'metered' storage
Lucas Mearian
Published: July 18th, 2003
EMC Corp. this week introduced a remote storage metering device that's designed to allow its biggest customers to install standby storage and network bandwidth capacity and pay only for what they use.
EMC said its OpenScale Automated Billing appliance is being offered as part of its OpenScale storage asset and financial management program. First introduced in 1999, the OpenScale program has been limited to 50 to 100 EMC customers because its manual reporting process required field engineers to visit customer sites to determine how much storage was being used.
With the metering device, the OpenScale program now includes a server with software installed on-site to detect and monitor every storage device and application being run on a storage-area network (SAN), including capacity, switch ports and storage software licences. InfoLease, the application that runs on the EMC-provided server, monitors storage activity and automatically sends usage reports to EMC via a Web portal.
MasterCard International Inc. in Purchase, N.Y., manages about 300TB of EMC-based SAN storage and 50TB of direct-attached storage from Sun Microsystems Inc., said Jim Hull, vice president of computer network services.
Hull said several vendors, including IBM Corp. and Sun, are offering different types of on-demand capacity. For instance, MasterCard utilizes IBM's on-demand mainframe capacity model. Hull said he's interested in EMC's program because a customer pays only for what it uses. "They want to sell you a new frame and fully populate it so that you pay for it as you use it. To me, that's a great model," said Hull. EMC said it won't be charging any fees for standby capacity.
Bill Raftery, vice-president of global financial services at EMC in Hopkinton, Mass., said the vendor's largest customers complain that current approaches to procuring and deploying additional storage are too complex and expensive. To buy extra storage, more than a dozen people are often needed to sign off on order forms at customer companies. The process can take anywhere from six to nine months to complete and cost millions of dollars.
EMC said OpenScale provides automated billing for its Symmetrix, Clariion and Celerra storage arrays, as well as its Connectrix switches and Time-Finder and Symmetrix Remote Data Facility software. Raftery said EMC is targeting "hundreds" of customers who run 50TB of storage or more for the metered service.
Tony Prigmore, an analyst at The Enterprise Storage Group Inc. in Milford, Mass., said EMC's metering system represents an early version of utility computing. "I don't know that EMC's approach works for everyone in the market, but it's an important step for a certain type of client . . . serious consumers of storage," Prigmore said.

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of our troops who put their lives on the line every day so we can live in a free country. Because freedom isn't free.
Yesterday the Davis/Olsen/Humphrey families got together for a birthday celebration honoring Me/Grandma Olsen/Kyle. We had lots of good food and fun.
Kyle got a ridiculous card from Braden and me. We decided to "go green" and use a leftover Halloween card instead of buying a new birthday one. At least I drew a candle and a bow on the pumpkin. This may now become a family tradition.
... to put in this! I'm gonna have my very own garden! I'm really ridiculously excited!
A little more green for your enjoyment.
I hope you are all having fun with your own gardens this summer!
This is my baby, Bandit. Isn't he adorable?? He just melts your heart!
Bandit is getting a haircut tomorrow for the summer. Can you imagine wearing a winter coat all the time in this heat? So here he is "before."
Do I want this, or do I need this?
This is called the shoot sac. I want the flowered one.
The problem is that this little sac costs a pretty penny.
This is the most beautiful version of this song in the world! I dare you not to cry. I triple dog dare you.
Today is my brother-in-law's birthday. His name is Kyle. I like to call him Kylie, but everyone gets mad at me when I do. :) Hope you have a great day today!
For some reason I'm strangely excited about my birthday this year. Although I'm not excited to get older. I actually forgot it was even coming up until my sister asked me what I wanted.
If you know me at all, you'll know that I'm a book worm to the max! I also like movies.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 ii. This is a camera lens I have been drooling over. It is a necessity for a portrait photographer.
I have heard about this game and I want to play. It's called the LCR dice game. I think that stands for "Left, Right, Center." This could be loads of good times for game night!
I can't believe I'm going to be 23! That feels so old. I'm not ready to be old. I feel like I'm about 76 now though after working till I fall over all week long. Whew!
Hope you had a good week! Love you all!
This past week we went on a little trip to California. For San Francisco and me, it was love at first sight. Braden is bound and determined to move there as soon as possible.
I have been in school for far too long and it's time to move on to bigger and better things. If anyone has any idea what those things may be, then please let me know. :) Hopefully some of them include weddings, photography and travel. Or maybe even a combination of any of the three. We shall see. Who knows what the future holds?
In the meantime, I have set some goals for the semester. Between my 3 jobs and my internship and summer classes, I may need to clone myself to reach them. But I am sending them out into the void anyway for now.
That's it for now. It's going to be a busy semester, but I'll admit I like it that way.


Hello and welcome! This blog is about expat life in France, teaching English abroad, traveling around Europe for cheap, and lots more.
Here's how it all got started. A few years ago, I moved to France and spent four years in Paris and Lyon. I taught English in private language schools, in a high school as a TAPIF language assistant, and at the university level as a lectrice. I also ate a lot of croissants.
Recently, I moved back to California to dive into the world of localization. I'm currently in San Francisco, eating tacos and taking pictures of pastel houses.
Hi Rosie! Thank you, I'm glad you liked my posts! I wish I had written more about being a lectrice, but I'm sure you know from personal experience how busy the job keeps you 🙂 I agree that the boulangerie makes up for France's defaults. I always went to get myself a pain aux raisins when I was particularly frustrated with French bureaucracy!
I suspect that's a trait shared by many of us – though I also imagine it's personality-dependent too. I used to have the same feeling towards a lot of the drawings/ paintings I did for A-Level Art, and still have it with some of my posts if I feel they're not as good as they could be… but blogging isn't my job, so c'est la vie!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information you share on your blog! It is very useful and interesting for someone who is currently doing TAPIF and looking to continue to teach in France. Your blog saves me in the time of complete panic and the lack of hope.
I had a question, and I am so not sure if I'm posting it in the right place, since I don't have experience in blogging. Have you ever had any experiences working as an enseignante contractuelle in secondary education? My TAPIF visa runs out on May 27, and I am offered a contract until the end of the school year as a contractuelle. The problem is next year. The Academie de Créteil say that they will provide a letter to the prefecture saying they will need me next year, but I will only have my contract in September. The academy says "the prefecture might prolong your titre de séjour or they may not". Thus I am hesitant to take this contract, since it is next year that I am worried about.
I am sorry for such a wordy commentary, I'm just a bit at my wits end here and near a total break down and no one seems to be capable of giving responses.
Thanks for your message! I completely understand how stressful it can be to be in visa limbo. I have never been an enseignante contractuelle, but I did have a situation when I thought my visa was sorted for my first year as a lectrice, but actually I needed to go through La Direccte to get permission to work, but I didn't know and they sent me a scary letter! It was a situation where they needed a contract, but I wouldn't get it until later. It all worked out – the prefecture accepted my dossier, but I had to go back after I had the rest of the paperwork before I could get my carte de séjour. However, that was in Lyon, and it may or may not work the same way in Créteil.
I think there's a good chance it will be fine, but since you're in a different situation in a different area, I recommend joining a Facebook group for expats or English teachers in France/Paris to see if anyone has more relevant knowledge. Best practice: search the group first to see if someone has already posted your question, and if you don't find an answer, then post your situation. People are usually very willing to advise – we've all been through bureaucratic struggles!

HSBC Bank plc v Madden and Post Office v Foley [2000] EWCA Civ 330 is a UK labour law case, concerning unfair dismissal, now governed by the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Facts
Mr Madden worked in two different HSBC branches (previously Midland Bank, the Enfield Town and Palmers Green branches) where three debit cards went missing, and he was present on two occasions. There was an internal investigation. Police came but found nothing. HSBC dismissed him anyway, because they could not find anybody else.

Tribunal found the dismissal was unfair because the investigation showed no evidence of anything. There should have been further investigation.

Judgment
The Court of Appeal held that the employer was entitled to dismiss him, and the Tribunal should not have substituted its view for the employers'. No reasonable tribunal could have said the investigation was not proper. Mummery LJ said the law is what was stated in Iceland Frozen Foods Ltd v Jones (not mentioning British Leyland UK Ltd v Swift) and said that Haddon v Van Den Bergh Foods Ltd was wrong to suggest that it was a perversity test. He said Parliament should change it, even though he was aware of opinions critical, and quoted Lord Nicholls in Inco Europe Ltd v First Choice Distribution [2000] 1 WLR 586, 592E on the separation of legislation and interpretation. He noted that Parliament had not acted to change the interpretations on the legislation, and so the reasonable range of responses test remained good.

I picked this magnet up last week at a random NYC street fair I stumbled onto. Dudes, a whole kiosk of magnets. Or, Heaven, as I like to call it. I mean, it's truly a miracle that I didn't walk away with many more magnets than the half dozen I bought.
Love that this Coke bottle's green - it's the whole reason I bought it. It totally cracks me up, because The Coca-Cola Company has a superstrict set of brand guidelines - for corporate and all of their brands. Everything.
I mean, sure, TCCC has green glass-bottled Coke and are working toward a 100% plant-based green plastic bottle, but this baby 2-liter green bottle magnet?
Totally unlicensed. This green bottle is enough to make any self-respecting brand cop's head explode.
Ah, street fairs, how I love you.

With this basic package you will get everything you need to begin experiencing a deep relaxing steam sauna right in your very home. Included is an aroma steamhead for bathing in your favorite fragrance and a stylish control panel to adjust your steam sauna experience to the ideal degree. The perfect steam sauna experience is exactly what we had in mind with Steam Spa's Steam Generators. Easy to install and even easier to operate these steam generators produce a consistent flow of soft and soothing steam thanks to the cleverly designed dual tank technology while minimizing any distracting operational noises. Compact in size and design Steam Spa's generators are suited for use with any bath or shower room with plenty of sizes and accessory options to make sure there is a perfect setup to meet your needs. As easy to install and operate as our generators already are, the featured Auto Drain system takes care of the maintenance by purging the generator of any excess water/minerals that would later contribute to issues down the line. All in all you get a safe, quite, reliable, luxurious steam sauna experience with our compact powerhouse of a steam generator.
Dual Tank Design Continuous Steam – All SteamSpa Generators create a consistent flow of soft and soothing steam. This is due to SteamSpa's proprietary advanced dual tank system to allow for continuous and uninterrupted steam output. Unlike other steam manufacturers which rely on a single tank resulting in inconsistent steam output.
Whisper Quite Operation – The Last thing you will want to hear while melting away is a long day's stress is the constant hum and hiss of a steam generator. That is why SteamSpa generators are designed to run at a whisper level ensuring you are not disturbed while the gentle steam works its magic.
Quick Start Technology – SteamSpa Generators boast a Quick Start Technology that speeds up the generators warm up phase to beginproducing steam at the one minute from activation. We realize your relaxation time maybe limited and you should not have to sacrifice that the time waiting for your generator to warm up.
Chromotherapy – The built-inThe chromo therapy (color) in-shower, low-voltage led mood lighting is fully adjustable from the control panel. Lighting can be placed inside or outside of the steam shower, and settings can be stored in the control panel's memory auto drain automatically purges the generator after each steam bath. This reduces the mineral and rust buildup, substantially prolonging the life of the steam generator.
In-Line Water Filter – The water filter reduces rush and mineral contaminants from entering the system which helps prolong the life of the steam generator. Although SteamSpa generators have a built-in auto-drain, which purges all fluids from the system when not in use, the remaining droplets of water which remain can lead to the formation of limescale and other mineral deposits. These depots restrict water flow, as well as limit the efficiency of the heating elements. The water filter prevents the formation of limescale deposits and prolongs the life of your steam generator, which also improves the quality and quantity of steam.


At the end of 2017, I was looking for ways to get more involved in my community. When I first heard of the Leeds Grenville Poverty Alliance, I was intrigued, but could not figure out exactly what their mission was. When I attended my first meeting, I was quite intimidated, walking into a large boardroom with people who work on these issues every day. It soon became apparent that the work they do is meaningful, and that I was fortunate to be able to listen and learn. The following are some of the things I've learned about being a part of this group.
Since joining the group, I have learned some surprising and startling facts. When we looked at the Early Development Instrument (EDI), I was surprised to see that in the City of Brockville, we were performing poorly and that the youth population was becoming more vulnerable over time. Some of the information has been more positive. For example, getting to hear the stories of women going through our local Homeward Bound program, and that food bank usage does seem to be subsiding slightly, similar to the findings in other larger cities such as Toronto. One of the more important issues we talk about at our Poverty Alliance meetings is how to deliver this information to the general public. As we are finalizing our "Poverty in Leeds and Grenville" infographic, we have discussed how to present the information simply, but powerfully. This has been a long process, but the varied group at the table lends to a creative and thoughtful space.
As someone who does not work in this field, it is interesting to get the opportunity to meet the people that are doing this work every day. I like seeing the diverse group around the table, including not-for-profit workers, medical staff, school administrators, and interested citizens like myself. This allows for connections to be made, for example, one not-for-profit director was able to inform us of a gender equality dialogue, something I would otherwise be unaware of. The biggest advantage of being privy to this information is simply being informed. When people talk about us living in an affluent area that does not need more support I am able to tell them exactly how many people were identified in the recent homelessness enumeration, or how many people use the food bank, and soon what the living wage is.
Although we are rural, we are still making our voice heard. Our late MP Gord Brown held a very well-run open house when the poverty strategy was in the works. We were one of the 33 localities that held a community conversation. It is exciting to see that some of what we talked about is in there. Particularly touching in our session was the retired teachers speaking of their students who struggled because of living in poverty. Similar stories are evident throughout the Canadian Poverty Reduction Strategy, especially in the section about the "Inability to Meet Basic Needs".
While I cannot attend every meeting, I always look forward to receiving updates from the group. Whether I am able to participate or not, I rest easy knowing that there is a concerted effort to better our community.
Hillary sits on the Leeds Grenville Poverty Reduction Alliance. She is the Executive Director of the Downtown Brockville Business Improvement Area.

Need for Speed Heat: Story and Characters REVEALED!
George Howson
With Ghost Games' epic new street racer almost out - details around the campaign have been revealed!
Need for Speed Heat is released next week and we can't wait to get our hands on Ghost Games' latest racer. The signs ahead of its general release have been good so far, and we believe that Heat could rediscover NFS' glory days and reignite the series.
EA's Under the Hood notes have been providing us with plenty of juicy details in the runup to release day. One of the most recent announcements is the reveal of many of NFS Heat's story mode, the single-player campaign that we'll be spending hours progressing through this month.
Trailers for Heat have placed heavy emphasis on Palm City being the player's "playground" and the domain where you and fellow racers can roam around in what is effectively a car-based sandbox is crucial to how good the video game will be.
The phrase "This is our escape" will have resonated with a lot of people, and if the characters that are escaping alongside you are interesting, Heat will be an unforgettable experience. The original Need for Speed Most Wanted had arguably the best story in the 25 years of NFS, and that will be Ghost Games' target for their latest creation.
SPEED - NFS Heat is out on the 8th November!
Your Companions
Ana Rivera
Reckless and determined, Ana is the antithesis to Lucas, her brother. She's
never happier than when she's racing in Palm City's long and winding roads,
beating all the competition that lie in front of her. She's a passionate racer
who refuses to let anyone stand in the way of her dreams, especially the cops.
Lucas Rivera
Even though he's out of the racing game, Lucas still works with the racers he used to line up alongside. L. Rivera is a respected former driver who now works as a mechanic for the racers of Palm City, and happily offers his garage as a hangout for those new to the area. Lucas will do anything to protect Ana from the police, fellow racers and herself.
Palm City PD
The perennial bad guys of any NFS game are the police, and Heat follows this mould by introducing Palm City's cops into the franchise. Ghost Games explained their philosophy behind the Palm City Police Department in EA's recent Under the Hood article:
"The choice to
include them [the police] as antagonists was clear, but we wanted to explore
the antithesis of a lawful cop. Lieutenant Mercer, someone who will happily
bend the rules for his own gain came out of this.
Conflicts in NFS are most powerful when they are personal, so we wanted our antagonists to have a meaningful impact on the story and provide our scenes with a real sense of danger."
STUNNING - New high-end graphics make Heat stand out from its predecessors
Lt. Frank Mercer
Frank Mercer is the ultimate antagonist in Heat. Mercer is the head of
Palm City's newly formed High-Speed Task Force, the company that was formed to
stop you and your allies. He's the charismatic and commanding figure who
presented the warning message to the street racers in the game's release
trailer.
He's the trustworthy figurehead to the public, but after dark, he
encourages the officers under his charge to break the law and exploit the
city's street racing problem for his own gain. Mercer will be a divisive character
amongst all circles, will his means justify the end result? Are the street
racing "bad guys" really all that bad when the police are corrupt? All be
answered soon.
Officer Danny Shaw
Shaw is the muscle out on the streets of Palm City, enforcing Mercer's aggressive
tactics to shutdown street racing in the Floridian metropolis. He's as loyal as
a dog, but takes bribes from the highest bidder, point and he'll follow.
He idolises Mercer and will do anything to earn his approval, even blindly following orders that others would question. When you are the law, you have no fear of legal punishment for your actions, even when it's clear that you're doing wrong.
Officer Eva Torres
One of the High-speed Task Force's most senior officers, Torres is a much-needed
cool head in Mercer's inner circle. Torres tries her best to cover up Mercer's
and Shaw's illicit activities, partly for her colleagues' benefit, but mainly
to keep her own nose clean and ensure her own survival.
