And Now for Something…
Posted on September 10, 2013 September 10, 2013 by chrisnickson2
I'm happy. We have an almost[-firm date for our move back to Leeds, only the better part of two months after we expected it to happen. But better late, etc….and my copies of Fair and Tender Ladies have arrived, with its wonderful cover.
On an unrelated note, in recent weeks I've been reading a great deal about the 1950s. It's the decade when I was born, so I assumed I knew it well. Wrong. Seems I knew next to nothing. But my reading sparked an idea. Or the start of one. Like they say in music, it goes something like this….(no apologies for typos – it's rough). Let me know what you think. Please.
He was falling, falling, somewhere between heaven and earth. He reached out but there was nothing to hold on to, only the feeling of tumbling through space. Pictures spun and twirled in his head, things he could quite place before they moved on. A face, a building, a hand.
Then he landed.
It jolted the breath out of him. His skull banged down hard and a shock of pain ran through his body. For a moment he could do nothing. All he could manage was to lie there, trying to gulp in air and stop the nausea rising.
Finally it passed and he was breathing steadily. He rolled gently onto his side and opened his eyes. He was lying on the pavement, the flagstones shiny and wet against his cheek. It was night and he couldn't remember what had happened.
The next he knew, something was pushing gently against his ribs.
"If you can stand up and walk away, I'll not arrest you, lad." He blinked, trying to bring the figure into focus. A copper, he saw finally, with the pointy hat and the black boots that shone in the streetlights. "Had a skinful, have you?"
He didn't try to answer, but sat up, his head drumming with every movement. One hand against the wall, he eased himself upright, pausing until the dizziness passed.
"I'm sorry, officer, I don't know what happened," he said honestly, rubbing the gash by his temple, then the bump at the back of his skull, wincing at the tenderness.
"It's alright, sir." The policeman's mile was almost hidden by his thick moustache. "Couldn't let you sleep there all night, that's all." He bent and picked a trilby from the ground, dusting it off with large hands. "This yours, is it?"
"Get yoursen home, that's my advice. You'll be feeling it in the morning." He gave a brief nod. "Goodnight, sir."
"Goodnight. And thank you."
He waited until the constable had disappeared around the corner, brushing the worst of the damp and the dirt from his suit and picking gravel out of his palms. Then he felt inside his jacket, checking the wallet was still there, and the watch still on his wrist.
His head hurt like buggery but it was beginning to clear. Looking round, he knew exactly where he was, on Merrion Street, the ABC cinema dark at the bottom of the hill. He moved his fingers gingerly around the lump on the back of the head.
Why had someone coshed him?
All around, Leeds was quiet, two in the morning and barely a sound, the shop windows dark. He sat in the old Anglia, window rolled down, and smoked a cigarette. Men had taken a swing at him before; it came with being an enquiry agent. But no one had ever used a cosh. Why? There was nothing unusual on the books. Just the usual divorces and frauds that paid the bills.
Finally he pulled out the choke then turned the key in the ignition, pressing down on the accelerator as the engine caught. There was no traffic, just a few lights shining behind curtains where sleep wouldn't come.
In Chapel Allerton he turned onto Town Street, then down the alley between the police station and the Nag's Head, parking by a brick house. Inside, he climbed carefully to the third floor, avoiding the tread that squeaked, and let himself into the flat.
It was a small place, no more than a bed-sitting room with a sink and gas ring in one corner, the bathroom and toilet on the landing, perched at the top of the stairs. From the window he looked down on the graveyard. But it was his and a damn sight better than the lodgings.
He stripped off the suit, examining the material and hoping against hope that the dry cleaner would be able to rescue it. It was good worsted, better than any fifty shilling job. He'd bought it right after National Service, a sly deal that didn't involve clothing coupons, and it had worn well.
Sod it, he needed to sleep.
He woke as the early sun streamed on his face. He clawed his way out of a dream, opening his eyes as he sat up, stopping as something seared behind his eyes.
By nine he'd washed and dressed. He couldn't do much about the dark circles under his eyes but he'd shaved and cleaned up the cut on his temple. At least he no longer looked like he'd spent a week on the razzle.
He parked the Anglia on King Charles Street and walked down Lands Lane. Everyone he passed seemed subdued. The third of September. It was a date none of them could forget. The start of the war and thoughts of lost comrades, fathers, sons, brothers.
He'd been ten, called in from a Sunday morning playing in the garden just as his sister was dragged down from his bedroom. He'd sat cross-legged, picking at a scab on his knee as Chamberlain's voice came out of the radio. When the speech had finished, his father had looked at his mother and simply said, "That's it, then."
He was a bright enough lad, set for a scholarship to grammar school. He knew what war meant. Or he believed he did. All the bravery of Empire, the things he'd been taught in schools. It wasn't until he did his time in the army that he learned the brutal truth. The empty faces, the ruins as far as he could see. He spent a winter there, working in military intelligence. He saw the people freeze and work and scrabble for anything resembling a normal life. What they taught him at Roundhay, death and glory and greatness, it was all bollocks. Dead was nothing more than dead, another memory and a poppy in November.
"Good morning, Mr. Markham."
He glanced up, thoughts vanishing behind him.

Most recently we purchased a 2000 Lenny's Horse mare, named Princess Nala, with her 2006 Royal colt. Nala is about 14 or 14' 1 hands tall, thick bone and a gorgeous tidy head. She is extremely heavy in hair. We can't wait to see her foals.
This is Princess Nala out in the pasture, she is bit dirty but pretty even so. She is the smallest of our mares (in height) but she is the dominant mare of the herd and she does not let any one forget it!
This is a picture of Nala that I took end of the 2006 summer or early fall. She was so pretty looking through her forelock at me. Be watching for more pictures of Nala! She is one of my favorite horses to photograph.


I've been knitting on the intermittently all week. Now that I've got a rhythm going I can (mostly) knit by touch. The linen can occasionally get splitty, but it's not too bad.
The hardness of the yarn makes for a very uneven knit, but I'm hopeful that it will behave like the swatch and look all nice and even after it's washed and dried (she says with just a hint of concern).
As for mods (you know I had to, right?) I'm knitting this top-down. I want to be able to try it on periodically, and I'd like to stick to the yarn I have so this will be the best way for me to do that.
It totally makes sense to make it top down. I would want to try it on as I go, too!
I think I am going to make a top-down skirt for my daughter this summer. I am debating the elastic-in-casing or simple drawstring or some combo of the two…she's so skinny!
Great color! And knitting it top down makes a lot of sense.
Loving the colors! Top-down = super smart.
The color is just great! Can't wait to see how this comes out for you.
Yes, the linen will indeed soften. And every time you wash the skirt it will get better and better. I HATE knitting with linen but ADORE the end product. Enjoy!
It's looking great! And going pretty fast. Top down is the way to go [I'm just agreeing with everyone else], but it begs the question, why would the write the pattern starting at the bottom?
Oo-lala, even if the stitches don't even out after washing, it's pretty with all the texture! What a yummy skirt.

Adrienne Power (born December 11, 1981) is a Canadian sprinter, who specialized in the 200 metres. She won two bronze medals for both the 200 metres and 4×400-metre relay at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.

Personal life
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Power was raised by and spent most of her life with her grandparents in East Jeddore. She attended Dalhousie University in her birthplace, where she was a key member of the women's track and field program, under her personal and head coach Dan Hennigar. She won a total of nine medals, including six gold, at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championships, and was the only Atlantic University athlete to ever win the CIS Athlete of the Year award. In 2005, Power graduated from the University, with a bachelor's degree in commerce.

Athletic career
Since graduating from the University, Power began training for the Tiger Track Club under her personal coach Hennigar. In 2005, she claimed her first title for the 200 metres, and won the bronze in the 100-metre sprint two years later. She made her international debut at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she achieved a top-ten finish as part of the national team in the sprint relay. The following year, Power set her personal best time of 22.86 seconds for the 200-metre sprint at the U.S.A. Track and Field High Performance Sprint and Power meet in Provo, Utah. She qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by winning the gold medal for the 200 metres at the Canadian Track and Field Championships.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Power was the nation's lone female sprinter to compete for the 200 metres. She ran in the fifth heat against seven other athletes, including defending Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica. She finished the race in fifth place by seven hundredths of a second behind Sheniqua Ferguson of the Bahamas, outside her personal best time of 23.40 seconds. Although she was ranked below the mandatory qualifying slots, Power advanced into the next round based on her fastest time allotted in the preliminary heats. Power, however, fell short in her bid for the semi-finals, as she placed sixth in the second round, with her slowest possible time of 23.51 seconds.

At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, Power made her international breakthrough, as she captured the bronze medal in the 200 metres, with an impressive time of 23.52 seconds, placing behind four-time Olympian Cydonie Mothersill of the Cayman Islands and England's Abi Oyepitan. She nearly missed out of the podium, together with her national team, as they placed fourth in the women's 4 × 400 m relay; however, they were immediately upgraded into the bronze medal position, following the disqualification of the Nigerian team.

Power currently trains for the Tiger Track Club in Halifax, and serves as a coach and mentor to the current track team.

The vested interest in development of a "regular customer" keeps a consulting firm thinking about your best interests.

The Consulting Estimators Roundtable was founded by a group of professional cost consultants who believe that becoming a competent cost consultant should be more substantive then simply hanging out a shingle or placing an ad in a construction directory or trade journal. They view the growing trend of outsourcing as not just a challenge to their business , but a challenge to the professionalism of the entire cost consulting industry.

Joaquim Francisco de Assis Brasil (29 July 1857 – 24 December 1938) was a Brazilian lawyer, politician, diplomat, writer and poet. He founded the Liberator Party and was a supporter of republicanism. He served as Governor of Rio Grande do Sul in 1891–92 and Ministry of Agriculture in 1911.

Together with the Baron of Rio Branco, he signed the Treaty of Petrópolis, which passed the territory of Acre to Brazilian control after the Acre War. The Acrean municipality of Assis Brasil was named after him.

Assis Brasil also introduced livestock to Brazil, including the Jersey cattle, the Devon cattle, the Karakul sheep and the Arabian horse, and contributed to the improvement of the Thoroughbred.

La pioggia è la più comune precipitazione atmosferica e si forma quando gocce separate di acqua cadono al suolo dalle nuvole. Il suo codice METAR è "RA" (dall'inglese rain).

La pioggia gioca un ruolo fondamentale nel ciclo dell'acqua, nel quale il liquido che evapora dagli oceani sotto forma di vapore si condensa nelle nuvole e cade di nuovo a terra, ritornando negli oceani attraverso il ruscellamento, i laghi, i fiumi e le falde sotterranee, per ripetere nuovamente il ciclo. In tal modo si rende disponibile alla biosfera, permettendo lo sviluppo della flora e della fauna e l'abitabilità agli esseri umani.

In meteorologia l'ammontare della pioggia caduta si misura in millimetri (mm) attraverso i pluviometri o pluviografi: 1 mm di pioggia equivale a 1 litro d'acqua caduto su una superficie di 1 m². La quantità di pioggia ricevuta annualmente nelle varie zone terrestri ne classifica, assieme alla temperatura, il tipo di clima. Una parte della pioggia che cade dalle nuvole non riesce a raggiungere la superficie ed evapora nell'aria durante la fase di discesa, specialmente se attraversa aria secca; questo tipo di precipitazione è detta virga.

Caratteristiche

Le gocce di pioggia sono spesso descritte e raffigurate come a "forma di lacrima", tonde sul fondo e più strette verso la cima, ma questo è scorretto (solo le gocce d'acqua che gocciolano da qualche sorgente sono a forma di lacrima al momento che si formano). Le gocce di pioggia piccole sono quasi sferiche. Le gocce più grandi sono molto appiattite a forma di panino, quelle più grandi ancora sono a forma di paracadute. Le gocce di pioggia che risultano dallo scioglimento poco tempo prima di un fiocco di neve sono grandi e formano una rosellina di gocce più piccole quando arrivano al suolo. In media le gocce sono 1–2 mm di diametro, le più grosse sono state registrate in Brasile e nelle Isole Marshall nel 2004 con più di 1 cm di diametro. Questa grandezza è stata spiegata con la condensazione di grandi particelle di fumo o di collisione tra gocce in zone relativamente piccole con un contenuto d'acqua particolarmente notevole.

Generalmente la pioggia ha un pH leggermente inferiore a 6, cioè debolmente acido a causa dell'assorbimento di anidride carbonica dall'atmosfera, che a contatto con l'acqua delle goccioline dà luogo alla formazione di quantità minime di acido carbonico. In alcune aree desertiche, il pulviscolo atmosferico contiene tanto bicarbonato di calcio da bilanciare la naturale acidità della precipitazione e quindi la pioggia può essere neutra o addirittura alcalina.

La pioggia con un pH inferiore a 5,6 è considerata pioggia acida.

L'odore caratteristico che accompagna talvolta la pioggia è quello dell'ozono. Infatti, quando l'ossigeno atmosferico viene percorso da scariche elettriche (in questo caso i fulmini), perde l'originale struttura biatomica per assumere quella triatomica, l'ozono appunto. L'odore che segue una pioggia dopo un periodo di siccità viene detto "petricore".

Formazione
Una nube è formata da miliardi di goccioline d'acqua, ciascuna delle quali è a sua volta formata da circa 550 milioni di molecole d'acqua. Queste goccioline sono il risultato dell'evaporazione dell'acqua da oceani, mari, corsi d'acqua dolce, vegetazione e suolo. Il vapore acqueo viene quindi portato verso l'alto da correnti ascendenti; salendo, l'aria si raffredda e raggiunge la saturazione. Tuttavia questo non è sufficiente per provocare la condensazione del vapore, dato che la goccia d'acqua formatasi tende a sua volta ad evaporare. In condizioni normali non si potrebbe avere la condensazione del vapore e quindi la formazione di nubi, neanche in presenza di sovrasaturazioni del 500%. Fortunatamente, nell'aria sono presenti particelle di pulviscolo atmosferico e cristalli di ghiaccio che agiscono come "nuclei igroscopici" o "di condensazione" (di dimensioni comprese tra 0,1 e 4 µm) che promuovono e agevolano la trasformazione di stato delle particelle di vapore.

Le precipitazioni e quindi la pioggia possono avvenire però solo quando la forza peso risulterà maggiore della resistenza offerta dal moto ascendente che ha portato alla formazione della nube stessa e che tende a mantenere le goccioline in sospensione. Occorrono centinaia di milioni di goccioline di nube per formare una goccia di pioggia del diametro compreso tra 200 µm e qualche millimetro. I due principali meccanismi di formazione sono l'accrescimento per coalescenza e il processo Bergeron-Findeisen.

Accrescimento per coalescenza
Questo fenomeno accade nelle cosiddette nubi calde con temperatura superiore a 0 °C. Le goccioline di nube più grandi, spinte verso l'alto dalle correnti ascendenti, collidono con le goccioline più piccole e in seguito a ciò, aumentano di dimensioni. Una volta raggiunto il diametro di 200 µm, le correnti ascensionali non sono più in grado di mantenerle in sospensione e quindi cominciano a cadere, ingrandendosi ulteriormente. Il processo è particolarmente efficace nel caso di moti turbolenti.

Processo Bergeron-Findeisen
Nelle cosiddette nubi fredde, immerse nell'atmosfera a temperature inferiori a 0 °C, il processo avviene a causa dei nuclei glaciogeni che attraggono su sé stessi le goccioline di vapore, formando microcristalli di ghiaccio. Questi s'ingrandiscono attirando le molecole di vapore, che perdono così più molecole per l'evaporazione di quante non ne perdano i microcristalli di ghiaccio. Questo è dovuto al differente valore della tensione di vapore fra il ghiaccio e l'acqua liquida. Con questo processo si producono cristalli di ghiaccio di qualche centinaio di micrometri, che risultano grandi abbastanza per cadere dalla nube. Durante la caduta questi cristalli possono ingrandirsi ancora per coalescenza, sia urtando gocce e goccioline sopraffuse, sia scontrandosi con altri cristalli. Una volta usciti dalla nube, se la temperatura rimane negativa o poco superiore allo zero cadono come cristalli di neve, altrimenti si trasformano in gocce di pioggia.

Cause

Nonostante il meccanismo di formazione della pioggia sia sempre pressoché lo stesso, le cause dell'innesco di questo fenomeno possono avere varie origini:
 lo scontro tra fronti caldi e freddi che provoca un moto ascendente di aria umida, che raggiunge quindi il punto di rugiada e inizia il processo di coalescenza.
 la pioggia convettiva, causata da un forte riscaldamento del suolo diurno che provoca un moto convettivo di umidità anche molto intenso che può scatenare temporali, in genere limitati ad un'area geografica circoscritta.
 il sollevamento orografico per via della morfologia del terreno che obbliga aria umida a risalire e quindi scaricare l'acqua sotto forma di pioggia. È tipico in questo caso la formazione di un'ombra pluviometrica.
 grandi eventi atmosferici che periodicamente provocano la pioggia, come i monsoni o i cicloni tropicali.
 tecniche artificiali come l'inseminazione delle nuvole.

Distribuzione

Distribuzione geografica

La pioggia è uno dei fattori determinanti per determinare il clima di una certa regione secondo la classificazione dei climi di Köppen. Le aree tropicali tendono a ricevere grandi quantitativi di pioggia pressoché tutto l'anno data la natura convettiva dei fenomeni e possono ricevere diverse migliaia di millimetri l'anno. I deserti invece sono definiti come quelle zone che ricevono meno di 250 mm di pioggia all'anno. A latitudini più elevate i quantitativi si attestano in genere fra i 500–2000 mm, e le precipitazioni sono di origine ciclonica.

Quantità totale
Per quantità totale si intende l'accumulo annuale in una certa località, in genere misurato dal 1º gennaio al 31 dicembre. Si possono adottare diverse convenzioni per le date: ad esempio gli agricoltori del bacino del Mediterraneo preferiscono utilizzare l'annata agraria che va dal 1º settembre al 31 agosto (con stagione secca l'estate). I dati vengono registrati su un lungo periodo (in genere più di 30 anni) per ottenere una statistica significativa e misurare eventuali variazioni dalla norma.

Altezza pluviometrica
La quantità di pioggia caduta viene misurata dai pluviometri in millimetri di accumulo. A tale misura, detta anche altezza pluviometrica, corrispondono altrettanti litri d'acqua piovana su una superficie di un metro quadrato.

I millimetri di pioggia caduti in un'ora definiscono quella che viene chiamata dai meteorologi intensità della pioggia; viene perciò distinta in:

 pioggia debole ()
 pioggia leggera ()
 pioggia moderata ()
 pioggia forte ()
 rovescio ()
 nubifragio ()

Alla maggiore intensità del fenomeno corrisponde anche un diametro maggiore delle gocce di pioggia e una velocità superiore d'impatto al suolo dovuta al fatto che le correnti ascensionali non sono in grado di rallentarne la caduta. L'intensità e il movimento delle precipitazioni possono anche essere misurate a distanza attraverso il radar meteorologico.

Frequenza
La frequenza corrisponde ai giorni di pioggia che si hanno in un anno. Occorre stabilire un limite minimo alla quantità di pioggia per considerare un giorno come piovoso: in genere questo limite varia fra 0,2–1 mm. La frequenza può anche essere misurata mese per mese.

Distribuzione annuale
Per distribuzione annuale si intende la ripartizione della pioggia tra le varie stagioni dell'anno o tra i singoli mesi nel cosiddetto regime pluviometrico. Quest'ultima voce è molto importante perché regola le precipitazioni, che sono preferibili scarse ma ben distribuite piuttosto che a ingenti quantitativi concentrati in brevi periodi intervallati da periodi di siccità. Questo per non danneggiare le coltivazioni e per il beneficio della vegetazione spontanea.

Well, the entity settings line says mp_entities.def. And there are two files in the tools directory, sp_entities.def and mp_entities.def, but i don't see any entities.txt files. And I also checked to make sure the path was correct. I reinstalled again and now there are 2 sp_entities.def files, but one of them is a readme file labeled .def.


RubyParser is a library written by Ryan Davis for parsing Ruby code and producing an abstract syntax tree. It is used by Brakeman and several other static analysis gems.Recently I was poking around to see if there was any low-hanging fruit for performance improvements. At first, I was interested in the generated parsers. Racc outputs some crazy arrays of state machine changes. Instead of generating arrays of integers, it outputs arrays of strings, then splits those strings into integers which it loads into the final array. I thought for sure skipping this and starting with the final array of integers would be faster, but…somehow it wasn't.


MANKATO — The three Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidates for governor took jabs at one another over education and taxes Friday night during a debate at Minnesota State Mankato.
Eleven days before the Aug. 10 DFL primary, House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton and former House Minority Leader Matt Entenza used the forum to highlight their few policy differences.
The three agree on most basic issues, including the need to create jobs, invest more in education, expand access to health care and hold down property taxes.
But Entenza and Kelliher butted heads over former President Bush's pet No Child Left Behind Act.
Entenza called it a "total disaster. Scrap it. It doesn't work." It just mandates "useless, standardized tests," he said.
If elected, he said, he would pull Minnesota out of the program, even if the state would lose federal funding.
Kelliher said that would cost the state $500 million in aid from Washington.
"Matt, we have to be honest. No state has opted out of No Child Left Behind," she said. Minnesota should not be the first.
She argued for reforming the program, not abandoning it.
Although the next governor will inherit a projected $5.8 billion deficit, all three DFL candidates called for more spending for preschool, K-12 and higher education.
Dayton said he is the only one who has pledged to increase taxes enough to deliver on that promise.
"I will increase funding (for education) every year. No excuses, no exceptions," he said.
Entenza warned that Dayton's tax-the-rich proposal could hurt Minnesota's economy by producing the highest income tax rates in the nation.
He said he'd get the economy growing first before providing more funding for education.
Kelliher took the middle ground, saying she wouldn't increase taxes as much as Dayton while pledging more funding for preschool programs and "fair funding" for K-12 schools and state colleges and universities.
"A great education is the foundation of a strong economy," she said.
Dayton has proposed closing most of the hole in the state budget by increasing income taxes on the wealthiest Minnesotans, starting with single people making more than $130,000 a year and couples with incomes of more than $150,000. Those taxpayers are only paying about three-fourths as much in state and local taxes, as a percentage of their income, as other Minnesotans, he said.
Kelliher and Entenza have proposed erasing the deficit with a "balanced approach" of smaller tax increases, budget cuts and delays in state payments.
About 200 people attended the forum sponsored by Debate Minnesota, a nonpartisan, nonprofit foundation that sponsors a series of candidate forums each election year.
Before the primary, the three DFL candidates are scheduled to participate in three more debates sponsored by the League of Women Voters, Farm Fest and Minnesota Public Radio.

Q: Node: git log between tags With git you can get a pretty log of messages between two tags.
git log --pretty=oneline tagA...tagB

I've been using a Ruby Git Library that let me do the same thing with:
git = Git.open(".")
logs = git.log.between tagA, tagB

But I'm now trying to rewrite to something more compatible with Grunt and trying to find a decent way to do this with node. Right now the only way I can think of is making node interact with the terminal and get the output, but I don't think that would be a good way to do it.
Any suggestions ?

A: Since I'm creating a tool just for my own use, I can afford to use synchronous shell, so this is what I ended up doing, because all the node git wrappers lack documentation a bit ( don't bash me, I've seen better docs... ) and are a bit overweight for my needs.
Using execSync
$shell = require("execSync")
result = $shell.exec "cd tmp/demo_git/ && git log --pretty=oneline #{from_tag}..#{to_tag}"

IMPORTANT: This is not a solution for server or an app! Doing this is okay only if you're writing a deployment app or something along those lines.

This is the second book cover I created for the series of middle-grade books called Blackwater Novels. (You can read about my first cover for the series here.) The series is set in the south during the 1930's. In The Dead House, Rad lives a mostly carefree life of fishing, camping, and comic books - but the abandoned house downriver has been giving him strange nightmares.
Allen then clarified that he wanted to depict a specific scene from The Dead House, where Rad is rowing down the river, with his frightened dog, during a thunderstorm, looking back over his shoulder, and by lightning-light just catching a glimpse of a ghost who is standing on the dock, partially obscured by shrubbery.
Did you get all that? Rowing. Looking over shoulder. Frightened dog. Haunted house. Thunderstorm. Swamp. Lightning striking into swamp. Ghost. Dock. Shrubbery. For a while I rocked myself back and forth in a corner of my room while I wondered how I was going to come up with a composition that could fit in all these elements.
An additional challenge was keeping the black labrador from disappearing in a scene that was necessarily very dark. I also struggled with establishing the boy as the focal point of the scene, when Allen emphasized that he wanted a very strong single lightning bolt in the sky - and huge lightning bolts tend to kind of steal the show, you know?
In order to enhance the creepy mood, I went with a green-and-purple color scheme. Check out that shameless use of rim lighting!
Another challenge - haunted houses, swamps and boats all tend to have muted, grey colors. However, middle-grade book covers need to be colorful. So I relied a lot on an unnaturally saturated sky and lots of pink tones in the boy's skin to bring some color into the piece.
As difficult as this was, it turned out to be one of my favorite illustrations that I've ever done. I suppose there's something to be said for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, even if it does mean a little time spent in a corner rocking yourself back and forth.
There are also 28 black-and-white chapter illustrations inside the book.
If you're interested in purchasing a copy of The Dead House, visit the Blackwater Novels website. (I do not receive any royalties from sales of the book.) You can also purchase a print at my Inprnt shop.
Ah, authors. I'm no stranger to commissioners having clear ideas about what they want but refusing to divulge this at the start ('do whatever you like' is actually my least-favourite instruction! I don't like it, and I don't trust it!) or briefs that involve a huge amount of stuff happening but don't involve actual room for all these things. Such things are good for us, though, I'm sure. ^.^ I tend to freak out, and then come up with a solution either in the shower or while walking my dog... if I don't, I start to panic a bit! Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone was definitely a win here, it looks fabulous and so atmospheric with all that moody lighting. I love his expression and windswept hair (and the dog)!
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who comes up with my best ideas while doing something other than drawing. These days it seems like a luxury to have the time to just let an idea incubate in my mind, though.
I agree, there's a balance between too much art direction (draw all the things!) and "just draw something cool." I've wanted to write a blog post about it but I have a hard time finding the words to define it clearly.
I think there's something about staring at a piece of paper or a screen that just compounds the fact that the ideas aren't materialising. I also like to needle felt when I'm stumped, there's something meditative about it that can help free up the subconscious.
I think the ideal clients are the ones who know what they want, but are open to suggestions on how to improve it – but how often do we get those? =P I recently did some wedding invitations where I was told to 'do whatever, don't bother me with it', which was hard. All I had was the colour scheme to go on. And at the same time I had another wedding client who knew what she wanted, but if I could come up with something that worked better, she was always open to suggestions. There was quite a contrast!
Great stuff! I think you nailed it, given the challenges of the author's direction.


I often read back through articles that have appeared in this august publication to look for errors and omissions. Such an expedition recently made me aware that I have not told you as much as I would like to about the SQL MERGE statement. Today I am pleased to provide more information.

As one of the weakest entry points into your home, secure home windows should be on every home owner's must-have list. Here's why windows are so important to consider for your home's safety.
There are a few reasons why windows are such an important part of your home's safety, but the first one is the most straightforward. Many burglars case neighborhoods before choosing one to rob. Well-maintained windows show that your home is cared for and that you're diligent about ongoing maintenance. And, this can make your house less appealing to would-be burglars.
Next, if you have obvious and visible window locks, it shows that your windows are protected. A robber may be able to get through this lock or the window frame itself, but it also means a lot more work for them. They're likely to choose another house instead.
There are many types of windows available, but some types offer even more protection.
Casement windows, in particular, are completely operated from inside the home with a cranking system. These can provide even more deterrence for robbers and may be a good option for your home if you're in a location with frequent break-ins.
If casement windows aren't an option for your home (or don't match your home's style), sliding windows are another great option. These windows slide horizontally to open and can be combined with horizontal security bars. Fixed windows can let in light to the home, without providing an entry point.
When protecting your home, it's also important to consider how your window is made. A well-made window is crafted with a sturdy frame. The frames and windows are professionally installed along with other components, so every piece of the window is secure and strong.
For advanced protection, you can also choose different types of glass for your windows. Laminated glass, for example, has an inner puncture-resistant layer. While these windows can typically be broken eventually, it does take additional work and time for a burglar. After one or two efforts, they may decide your home isn't worth the risk.
Any windows made from strong, high-quality materials also provide protection to occupants in your home. Keeping out would-be burglars is important, but these windows can also stop children from breaking them with stray toys. If they are broken, they prevent glass fallout inside the home. LAS Weathergard windows feature steel reinforcements in the exposed framing that isn't fastened to the house from the inside.
All LAS WeatherGard windows feature a cam lock with an integrated safety latch. Unlike a normal basic cam lock, there is a button that must be pressed to allow the lever to turn in addition to turning the lever that locks into the keeper. This additional feature improves the performance of the lock when it comes to forced external entry while also making the lock harder for small children to figure out.
LAS's Double-Hung and Double-Slider WeatherGard windows feature venting night-latches on their sashes. These flip-out fins act as an added layer of protection that can be engaged. This does not the window's sashes to open more than a couple of inches even if the primary locks are compromised.
Call LAS today to figure out which windows will work best to protect your home. Our professionals will work closely with you to create a free estimate for crafting and installing windows perfectly matched for your home and needs.

PhD Studentship with the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare, University of Sheffield, UK
About the Studentship
We are seeking applications from talented and strongly motivated Software Engineering, Computer Scientist or Engineering Graduates interested in studying for a Ph.D. studentship with potential for high societal impact in the healthcare domain. The successful candidate will work in a stimulating and exciting environment alongside researchers in the inter-disciplinary Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) as well as researchers in the Speech and Hearing Group (SPandH) in the Department of Computer Science.
The focus of the PhD research is: Spoken Language Dialogue Systems in Assistive Technology
This project will focus on the implementation of a spoken dialogue system for a smart-home environment with applications to assistive technology. By providing an easy-to-use, natural language interface in a domestic setting, older people and people with physical disabilities can get support from an intelligent home environment as they go about their daily life. This will help them live independently and could greatly improve quality of life. The successful applicant will have access to CATCH's state-of-the-art HomeLab – a fully functioning living lab, which facilitates evaluation and testing in a real-life environment. CATCH also has extensive contacts to industry, the NHS and charitable organisation, providing access to a broad range of experiences.

Q: Extract coordinates from image to numpy
How to get coordinates of image pixels in the following form:
array([[x1 , y1],
       [ x2, y2],
           ...,])

I need them in this particular form as an input for another tool (tda-mapper).
So far, I have come to the idea that I need to sample from the image, but I haven't managed to make it yet. I would really appreciate any advice!
P.S. this is just a toy example for testing.

A: You could use one of the solutions mentioned here to read in an image to a numpy array: Importing PNG files into Numpy?
And then you could use the numpy.argwhere function numpy.argwhere(image_array > treshold) to return the indices where the gray value is larger than some threshold
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

im = plt.imread('3zu5i.png')

#https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12201577/how-can-i-convert-an-rgb-image-into-grayscale-in-python
def rgb2gray(rgb):
    return np.dot(rgb[...,:3], [0.2989, 0.5870, 0.1140])

grey = rgb2gray(im)
coordinates = np.argwhere(grey < 0.99)

That should return an array containing the array indices with grayscale values larger than some threshold
array([[ 41, 280],
       [ 41, 281],
       [ 41, 282],
       ...,
       [372, 299],
       [372, 300],
       [372, 301]])


Bring along a friend for an ebike adventure!
"Awesome bike that takes me everywhere.
Goodbye to traffic. Hello to fun!"
Awesome experience! I love the bike and customer service was super helpful. Highly recommend.
All I can say is WOW. I bought two! Fantastic bikes and a great company!
Smooth ride that gets me up any hill. I'm in my late 60's and more mobile than ever before.

Glasgow guiding member tackles Secretaries of State on FGM
A teenage Girlguiding Scotland member from Jordanhill, Glasgow, met International Development Secretary Justine Greening and Home Secretary Theresa May at a global conference to tackle FGM and child marriage on Saturday 19 July 2014.
Isla Whateley, 17, who is a member of Girlguiding's youth advocacy panel and a Senior Section member with the North West Division Ranger Unit in Partick, discussed the issues with the two Secretaries of State at the Youth for Change conference at the Department for International Development in London.
The Youth for Change event was organised to create a tidal wave of action to end female genital mutilation (FGM) and child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) in a generation.
Isla Whateley said: "It was a privilege to meet two Secretaries of State and talk about how we can act to end FGM and child marriage.
"It was great to see so many young people coming together to fight these horrible practices that are happening around the world.
"The event really empowered me to keep on fighting about these issues and I'm working with the Youth for Change panel on more plans to raise awareness and take a stand."
The UK Government's Youth for Change event was designed to bring hundreds of young people together to kickstart and feed into the Girl Summit, held on Tuesday 22 July 2014 in London. The Girl Summit brought governments, faith leaders, private sector and civil society organisations together to mobilise efforts to eradicate FGM and CEFM.
Girlguiding's advocate panel is a group of 18 Girlguiding members aged 14 – 25 from across the UK who discuss the issues girls care about and seek change. They talk about body confidence, the representation of girls and women in the media, education, teenage mental health, role models for girls and more. They also help to direct Girlguiding's own research, advocacy and campaigning work, including the charity's annual Girls' Attitudes Survey.
Isla Whateley is also Girlguiding Scotland's member of the Scottish Youth Parliament.

Popcorn Frights Film Festival 2018 Brings Horror Premieres to Savor Cinema
Juan Antonio Barquin
Don't Leave Home
Courtesy of Popcorn Frights
Juan Antonio Barquin, Hans Morgenstern | July 31, 2018 | 2:29pm
This year, Florida's premier horror film festival, Popcorn Frights, moves its series of chilling works to Savor Cinema in Fort Lauderdale. The festival gave New Times film critics Juan Antonio Barquin and Hans Morgenstern a preview of several of the movies premiering at the festival. Here's their guide to the films you must see and ones to miss, ranging from science fiction to zombie horror and ghost stories.
Don't Leave Home. In Don't Leave Home, American artist Melanie Thomas (Anna Margaret Hollyman) receives a mysterious commission in Ireland by Alistair Burke (Lalor Roddy), a former priest who has his own artistic talents that might be supernatural. He has placed himself in exile in a manor on a vast property following the disappearance of a child whose portrait he painted in 1986. During Melanie's stay, things don't seem quite right, as evidenced by heavy stares from house manager Shelly (Helena Bereen) and several weird dreams. Things soon become stranger with the discovery of sacrilegious icons and the arrival of a group of art collectors dressed like extras from the party scene in Barry Lyndon.
Though Don't Leave Home has moments of flair in its cinematography and original story, it's unfortunately not enough to overcome some blasé moments of acting and writing. For all the instances of style and creativity, including a nearly silent opening prelude shot in 4:3, the new film by actor/writer/director Michael Tully can't rise above mediocrity like composer Michael Montes' cheesy score. (A Celtic pipe fanfare for the arrival in Ireland, really?) The performances are bland, and resolutions to conflict seem convenient. As a critic says in a review of Melanie's art that received one Facebook share at the top of the film yet somehow shifted all of its action: "This is not art; it's arts and crafts." — Hans Morgenstern
Popcorn Frights Film Festival Reveals Second Wave of Horror
First Wave of Horror Films Announced for 2018 Popcorn Frights Film Festival
Popcorn Frights Announces Opening Night World Premiere by Writers of A Quiet Place and More
Florida premiere, 5 p.m. Sunday, August 12.
Piercing. Describing Nicolas Pesce's Piercing is like setting up the world's least amusing joke. Two people walk into a room: One is a sex worker and the other is a murderer. What happens next? Just your usual amount of stabbing, eating, talking, walking, drugging, cuddling, binding, and, of course, piercing.
Christopher Abbott and Mia Wasikowska star as these two individuals, locked in a sick game of circumstance with each other, neither knowing how damaged the other really is. In adapting Ryo Murakami's novel of the same name, Pesce leaves behind the black-and-white dreariness of Bela Tarr and Ingmar Bergman (from which his feature debut, The Eyes of My Mother, heavily drew) for the colorful thrills of giallo.
From the tilted angles, split screen, and intoxicating lights to the shameless bloodlust and teasing of violence, Pesce goes for broke indulging in what a modernization of a giallo should look like. Pesce approaches the aesthetics of Piercing in the same way Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani of Amer and The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears create a mélange of tributes to their favorite classics (though without quite as much silence, color, and surrealism as the duo).
Pieces of music from La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volte and Camille 2000 complement the discomfort and sensuality in Abbott's and Wasikowska's performances, as well as the humor lingering in the dark script. A sense of longing in their eyes captures the viewer's heart, but it's impossible not to laugh when they're miming murder, rolling around on drugs, or gagged and threatened with an ice pick to the abdomen.
What's best about Piercing is the way Nicolas Pesce sidesteps Murakami's novel. Where the author inflated the traumatic backstories of these individuals via first-person narration, Pesce rarely discloses the past, instead extending climactic moments through a slow-burn effect that makes each bloody revelation more exciting. It's a messy, absurd world in which these characters live, and it's thrilling to say the film mirrors that quality beautifully. — Juan Antonio Barquin
East Coast premiere, 7 p.m. Thursday, August 16.
Prospect. In a future where young people listen to obscure mid-20th-century Eastern European and Chinese pop music, precious gems are harvested from fleshy tumors found in the ground of a toxic, lush, tropical moon. The debut feature of co-writers/-directors Chris Caldwell and Zeek Earl, Prospect portrays a deeply realized world of weirdness supported by creative production values.
Playing with sound design, constructing ingeniously lit miniatures, and using practical effects, the filmmakers make the most of old-school movie magic. They hardly bother with digital effects both in their moviemaking and in the world of Prospect. Instead, they highlight analog technology on spaceship control panels or creatively designed weapons that require cartridges, which are placed in a hand crank to be charged. It all makes for a film that harks back to the sci-fi world of the original Star Wars trilogy.
The actors, the most famous of whom is Jay Duplass of mumblecore fame, mostly have to perform in spacesuits, which appear to have been cobbled together from spare parts, to survive on the toxic surface of the "The Green." Sometimes the story drags, but the film's lead, Sophie Thatcher, is easy to sympathize with as she encounters one shady character after another when she finds herself stranded alone on this moon. Prospect is a testament to the creativity of skilled filmmakers on a limited budget who understand the importance of basics such as lighting, story, and camera angles to support the creation of transporting cinematic entertainment. — Hans Morgenstern
Southeast U.S. premiere, 7 p.m. Sunday, August 12
Tigers Are Not Afraid
Tigers Are Not Afraid. Issa López's Tigers Are Not Afraid is one part gang movie, one part kids' movie, and one part ghost movie. If that sounds messy, it's because these pieces don't gel especially well together, playing out like a heavy-handed metaphor about Mexico's drug war that wants to be as realistic as it is fantastic.
Handheld camerawork follows a group of children — displaced after the deaths of their parents at the hands of a cartel — as they try to survive. López ensures the streets and alleys these orphans inhabit are as dusty and dirty as they should be, and the day-to-day lives of these children, forced to grow up and emulate what they've known in the past and know now, are undoubtedly the best part of the film. The youngsters, notably Paola Lara as the sole girl in the gang, are the kind of child actors you dream of when forced to watch movies about kids.
But the film's indulgence in fantasy doesn't work. A visual metaphor here or there would be just fine, and the film's especially effective final shots would benefit from a narrative endeavor that only sparsely teased at magical realism prior to them. But López features everything from a The Monkey's Paw narrative conceit and ghosts wrapped in plastic to talking plush animals and a stream of blood that runs through everything.
If the film was aiming for a Guillermo del Toro effect — blending horror, fantasy, and reality like Pan's Labyrinth or The Devil's Backbone — it falls short. Tigers Are Not Afraid wants to be as much social commentary about violence in Mexico as it is fantastical horror. The problem is these two things never feel as though they belong together. — Juan Antonio Barquin
Florida premiere, 7 p.m. Monday, August 13.
One Cut of the Dead. Despite horror films' reputation as B-grade movies, there really is no other genre more daring at pushing boundaries and subverting tropes. To describe how One Cut of the Dead, a zombie horror comedy out of Japan, pushes against what one expects of horror movies would be a disservice to the pleasures that unfold as one watches the movie.
The hook for One Cut of the Dead, the sophomore feature from Shin'ichirô Ueda, is a zombie flick shot in one take. As evidenced by Hitchcock's Rope (1948) and others that followed, the one-take movie has already been executed with marvelous skill. So when this movie begins, it seems like a second-rate, sloppy, amateur mess. But stick with it and you will be rewarded with meta elements that reveal sly, self-aware filmmaking.
The Japanese title literally translates to "Do Not Stop the Camera," hinting at the importance of action behind the scenes. At first, awkward pauses that drag seem to point to problematic setups behind the scenes, but something will soon reveal what's actually happening. One Cut of the Dead is an incredibly smart and funny movie so bold it will make you wonder about the grander scheme of the movie business and how much of what's passed off as honest by the industry is actually contrived and artificial. — Hans Morgenstern
East Coast premiere, 11 p.m. Thursday, August 16.
What Keeps You Alive
What Keeps You Alive. What Keeps You Alive is a film at odds with itself. Unsure whether to be taut or meandering, aggressive or meditative, it bounces between a shamelessly bloody game of cat-and-mouse and a chill blend of relationship drama and thriller. Colin Minihan's film takes place primarily in a house standing by a forested mountain and separated from other homes by a wide lake. This is where Jackie (Hannah Emily Anderson) and Jules (Brittany Allen) have gone to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and where Jules discovers a number of things about her wife — most important, that she's a bit of a psychopath with a penchant for killing her partners.
When the film isn't being hyperdramatic, the performances by these two women are muted and calculated; some of their best moments include stalking each other through various locales. Their conflict is a solid driving force for the film and the actresses, even when it involves a barely necessary supporting duo for a short period of time.
But moments when the film attempts to engage with their relationship — from black-and-white flashbacks of cuddling to questioning whether their love ever existed — are lackluster, detracting from exploring the very violent, present dynamic of Jackie and Jules. It's when Minihan explores the tension this home and its surroundings add to the fight for survival that the film hits its highest points.
Cinematographer David Schuurman works wonders with Minihan, creating some gorgeous set pieces, whether it's cleaning up a bloodbath in the dark with the aid of a black light or a fight traced entirely through sound as the camera trails through a home. Unique scenes such as these prevent What Keeps You Alive from drowning in its duller moments. — Juan Antonio Barquin
Florida premiere, 9 p.m. Saturday, August 11.
Satan's Slaves
Satan's Slaves. This one is as close as you can get to a great haunted-house film nowadays, feeling truly classical in every regard. From the '80s aesthetic to the practical effects and scare stagings, Joko Anwar's prequel/loose remake of the 1980 film of the same name (directed by Sisworo Gautama Putra) is an utter delight from beginning to end.
The home in which this haunting takes place is populated by Rini (Tara Basro) and her family, which includes her three brothers, parents, and grandmother. As the family struggles with a lack of money and an ill mother (who soon passes), they find themselves slowly but surely faced with a presence in their home. What unfolds throughout is somewhere between a ghost story and an exploration of how one family's involvement with demonic forces becomes its ultimate destruction.
Anwar takes his time dishing out the scares, allowing the tension to build in the way the camera cuts and flows between individuals. The fear is amplified by stellar lighting, unsettling makeup work, use of reflection and distance to emphasize abject objects, and even the humor peppered throughout to relieve that fear, if only for a moment.
Satan's Slaves exists in the same vein as works such as Rosemary's Baby, without quite the slow burn but with an equal dose of satanic forces. The film's power lies not only in its believable actors, fully onboard with a premise that puts them through hell, but also in the way Anwar stages it all. — Juan Antonio Barquin
