Wallingford flower shop owner celebrates 92nd birthday with town proclamation - Meriden Record-Journal
Greco said, "with the stores and the florists in town, but we have a lot of weddings and funerals that keep us going."Doreen Yanelli, Greco's daughter, contacted Mayor William W. Dickinson Jr.'s office a couple weeks ago and asked if he would mark the occasion and acknowledge her contributions to the local business community."He was more than happy to do that," Yanelli said.The mayor's office issued the proclamation on Sept. 28. "I'm used to bring proud of my mother and father," Yanelli said. "They are Wallingford."Greco had three children, and has four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren."The Wallingford Flower and Gift Shoppe has created beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements for countless special occasions," the proclamation stated, "which have touched the lives of many of us throughout the years."When she's not at the shop, Greco said she enjoys the company of her family and relaxing at home. She's a parishioner of Most Holy Trinity Church, a former volunteer at the Masonicare Gift Shop and was involved with other civic groups.While they're thrilled with the public recognition, the family plans to celebrate Greco's birthday privately today.On Friday, friends and customers called Greco to wish her a happy birthday. She even got a long distance call from her niece in Italy."I don't speak Italian very well, but we did OK," Greco said. LTakores@record-journal.com

Appreciates the flowers planted at county hospital - Iron Mountain Daily News
SHOW ARTICLE -- BouquetFrom Marie Osterberg of Aurora, Wis.:I recently visited a friend who is a patient at Dickinson County Memorial Hospital. On my way into the parking area, I noticed the lovely flowers in the flower beds surrounding the entrance and exterior of the buildings. Then as I walked into the hospital through the main entrance I noticed the sunken flower terraces on the south side of the building, where employees can enjoy their work breaks.I want to compliment the caretakers of the very beautiful flowers blooming there. They are stunning. Thank you. -- ... http://www.ironmountaindailynews.com/opinion/editorials/2017/09/appreciates-the-flowers-planted-at-county-hospital/

Flowers found in centuries-old books at Antiquarian Society - Worcester Telegram
Massachusetts. "The color is just gorgeous," Ms. Cataldo said. "It is so delicate. You would think this is artwork and not an actual plant."The society has four original poems by Emily Dickinson in its collection, and Ms. Cataldo showed one that the poet had sent to a friend in Amherst sometime between 1879 and 1881. "It was a poem about dandelions," she said. "You can see here Emily or her friend pressed a dandelion in the poem itself. You can just see traces of it. It's just the ghost of the dandelion."You really do have this connection to the past through a living thing," Ms. Cataldo said. "You really see that this was used and this was important to someone - a real sign of life."These flowers, leaves and locks of hair are relics, small pieces of the lives experienced by people now long gone, she said."A lot of the hair we have in the collection appears in school albums," she said. "Young girls would pass along beautifully braided hair to a friend, and then sign their name, and maybe include a short poem about memory. A lot of these poems have to do with death. They were really thinking ahead: This was me, this was who I was."Mrs. Bocian-Pellicane recalled her own experience picking wildflowers on a trip to Ireland, pressing them into her guidebook."It gives you a sense of smell and seeing. It rejuvenates that memory more than just the words could."It's a piece of life, a piece of history, a piece of memory."Let's block ads! a href="https://github.com/fivefil... http://www.telegram.com/news/20161112/flowers-found-in-centuries-old-books-at-antiquarian-society
Kuhns begin harvesting flowers; plant field of winter wheat - Farm and Ranch Guide
DICKINSON, N.D. – Over the past two weeks, the Kuhns have stayed busy with spraying weeds, starting sunflower harvest, planting a field of winter wheat, prepping fields after harvesting, preparing for fall corn harvest and moving grain around to different bins."We have been keeping the sprayer going when weather allows," said Ben Kuhn, who farms with his brother, Jaden, and parents, Jeff and Barb. "I have already had to spray a couple fields twice since harvesting. Others are staying relatively clean but will need attention in the coming weeks."Ben explained the fall is a good time to try to get on top of weeds, but with the warm, wet weather, it has been difficult to get correct timing.Most fields have volunteer grain coming from what was planted this year as well as other broadleaf weeds."I have been getting good results with my applications, but the weeds seem to keep coming. It is amazing how fast some weeds will go to seed if you aren't on top of them," he said.Ben decided to plan... http://www.farmandranchguide.com/news/producer_reports/kuhns-begin-harvesting-flowers-plant-field-of-winter-wheat/article_21f5b14a-83f9-11e6-801a-6348aa8e03e5.html

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi's Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of 'Cancel Culture' - Law & Crime
Washington, D.C. because of "cancel culture." The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the "illusion" of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases."According to the Government's Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out," attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. "There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn't take anything, they didn't break anything."Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election.

Q: How to open this update firmware window in kubuntu? In order to update some firmware in my kubuntu 17.10 installation I need to open this window from ubuntu 14.04, however I cannot seem to find it in system settings. If it does not exist, is there an alternative to it?

A: Simple Googling went me to the Digi site.
They have utilities for updating firmware of XCTU (Zigbee) with similar images.

So this utility comes from vendor, not from Ubuntu itself.
You can use links on Digi site to get XCTU (do not really know anything about it, just googling).

A CALIFORNIAN five-year-old was handcuffed and charged with battery after allegedly kicking a police officer in the knee.
Michael Davis had his hands tied behind his back with zip ties and was driven in a police car to psychiatric hospital after apparently lashing out at the officer during a meeting at his primary school.
Michael had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and his teachers suggested that he meet with a school police officer, Lieutenant Frank Gordo, in the hope that a uniformed presence might curb his disruptive behaviour.
According to a police report, Lt Gordo put his hand on Michael's and "the boy pushed my hand away in a batting motion, pushed papers off the table, and kicked me in the right knee".
The officer said Michael refused to calm down and so his hands and feet were secured with zip ties of the sort used to restrain violence criminals.
Without informing the boy's parents, Lt Gordo drove him in the back of his police car to Stockton Kaiser Psychiatric Hospital for an evaluation.
His mother, Thelma, said she "was led to believe that Michael saw a police officer and attacked a police officer on sight," and only learned that he had been handcuffed several weeks later after reading the report.
One charge of battery by a police officer was later dropped by a juvenile court.
Neither the Stockton Unified School District nor its police force would comment on the incident.
The case has been met with disbelief in the city of Stockton, which is not far from the University of California Davis, where a police officer was filmed theatrically pepper spraying protesting students.

Please check out our pictures from last year and our schedule for the upcoming year's program!
We have so much fun, and even a few surprises in store for 2019!


It was the Summer of 2011 when I made the best discovery in my life. Whilst browsing through my newly made Twitter account, I noticed a picture of Nihal under the section of 'People You Might Know'. I knew that I didn't know this 'Nihal Vora' guy, and it was strange to start talking to somebody so random, but never the less, I decided to click onto his profile and snoop around.
The more I stared at his Twitter DP, the more attractive I found him His smile and his eyes were mesmerizing. I knew that I needed to talk to him – or at least try. So I messaged him in hope that he would message back. About 10 minutes after, I received a message from Nihal. Thus our friendship began.
On the 23rd December 2011, Nihal suggested that we meet at the German Christmas Market – his reason, 'It would be romantic'. We met outside the Adidas store, – he was wearing a huge scarf wrapped around his neck and was listening to music on his purple Dre Beat headphones. I told him to look out for a green Boston Celtics hat and when he spotted it, his face lit up. That same smile I had seen 6 months ago, was right there before me… and it blew me away. The rest of the day, we spent sitting in Starbucks, drinking coffee and exploring the market. As it was Christmas, I wanted to buy Nihal a little present to take back home with him so after walking around together, my eye caught some Christmas jumpers in a shop window that had his name written all over them. He was so happy with his present but pretty soon it was time to leave.
We must have spent at least half an hour at the train station saying our goodbyes. It was very cliché, almost like a movie where we would say bye, hug each other, then say bye again and continue repetitively. It was like we just didn't want to leave each other.
On the train home, all I could think about was Nihal and how wonderful my day had been – and I guess it was a little romantic after all!
I planned the proposal for about 10 months and I didn't give away anything to make Jes suspicious (I know, I could totally be a spy), and it took me so long because I wanted to get every single little detail just right. I wanted to make the proposal perfect for Jes because she is the love of my life and the woman of my dreams, who wouldn't?!
When I first tried to propose the idea of a holiday photographer, Jes' reaction wasn't quite what I wanted. She said 'no' because she wanted to use the selfie stick she had recently given me as a present (disaster!). We hadn't used it yet and she thought Venice would be the perfect time to get some use out of it. After a couple of months (yes months!), I managed to get her to agree to a 'holiday photographer,' so photographer planning was back in full flow! Jes looked through the portfolios and chose Serena as the photographer too. Thus the idea of a 'holiday photographer' was born and it was the final step in my proposal planning. Now I just had to wait till the big day, when she would realize I didn't book a holiday photographer but a proposal photographer instead!
I bought Jes a new dress and a special bottle of champagne to take with us to celebrate afterwards. I had the video conference with Serena where we discussed possible routes for the gondola and where the perfect spot would be to pop the question, and even for Serena to give me the cue to know that we were in the perfect position for the moment. By the end of the video conference, I think it was safe to say I was more than excited for it even though we were still a couple of months away from the big day!
Thankfully Jes had already told me what kind of ring she liked, even if she did change her mind a few times! Originally it was a gold ring with a diamond and a pearl, but that eventually changed to a classic platinum ring with a single stone. Surprisingly though, even with a classic ring like that, there are still a lot of variations in the design of the band and clasp. So I chose the setting to show the entire diamond through the side and with 6 claws for safety. After that I had to choose the actual stone, with varying sizes, cuts and clarities. I like to think VVS stands for Very Very Shiny.

Renewable Energy Development and Energy Efficiency is not only an important solution in addressing global climate change, but also provides socio-economic benefits such as access to cheap energy, clean air and jobs. In Viet Nam, most of these benefits and impacts have not been properly researched and evaluated. In this context, the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) – based in Potsdam, Germany – conducts the project "Mobilizing the Co-Benefits of Renewable Energy Development and Climate Change Mitigation in Vietnam" (COBENEFITS) in partnership with the Independent Institute for Environmental Issues (UfU), Renewables Academy (renac) and International Energy Transition (IET) and together with partners in Vietnam.
COBENEFITS is a bilateral cooperation project between the Government of Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany and funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Government.
In addition to Vietnam, the project is also being implemented in three other countries, including India, South Africa and Turkey, with the expectation of developing a strong network to overcome different barriers to enable renewable energy development and climate change mitigation in the world.
The Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) is the coordinator of this project. Green Innovation and Development Centre (GreenID) is the knowledge partner in Vietnam. In addition, the Independent Institute for Environmental Issues (UfU), International Energy Transition (IET) and the Renewables Academy (RENAC) are also project partners. The project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag.
2017-2018: Country-specific assessment reports of social and economic co-benefits of renewable power generation.
2018-2019: Training materials, online courses and face-to-face trainings on seizing co-benefts of renewable power generation.
2019: Political dialogue sessions on enabling political environments and overcoming barriers to seize the co-benefits.
2019: Strategies to connect co-benefits of climate change mitigation with climate action plans, the Paris Ambition Mechanism and MRV schemes to support national NDC implementation.

Technology companies are about to start using artificial intelligence (AI) as a proactive tool for IT user support. Under a proactive support scenario, if your word processing program crashes or locks up, an automated system will notice the incident immediately and then offer solutions, often before the problem occurs in the first place.
Remember the axiom from the last blog: "The best support experience is the one your user doesn't have." Users don't want to deal with tech support. They just want their computers and the systems they access to work when they need them.
Automated tech support offers a great relief for home users, especially small business people who work from home, but think about how AI can help corporate IT. Instead of waiting for a lock up, an automated system can notice the potential threat, several days before the user has run out of disk space. Corporate IT can either order a new hard drive, or simply swap out the machine well before an issue ever happens.
In the reactive world, the user contacts tech support and describes the issue over the phone. Tech support will first try to solve the issue during the phone call and if they can't, dispatch a person to work on the problem. This often can take several hours, even days. In the future, corporate tech support will work in a predictive and proactive mode.
Here are some examples: Predictive tools such as dashboards, automated diagnostics and early focus allow for fast action. Predictive analysis will identify and then attempt to prevent events that require a service tech to make a physical call. If that activity is not successful or not possible, good process directs proactive tech support staff to send alerts out to users about developing IT issues. Proactive service will reach out to users before an issue occurs with warnings, resolutions or directions for prevention that can remediate the issue with little or no disruption.
DXC is a leader in delivering new IT support methods that move beyond the old reactive support models. Proactive and predictive IT support and solutions offer a far greater return on investment than reactive support. Predicting and preventing problems from occurring – at a fraction of the cost of disruption to recover from outages and failures – just makes good business sense.
Better decision-making. Proactive IT support with user analytics gives companies the insights they need for effective planning and analysis. Corporate IT can answer key questions such as: How and which applications are being utilized and by whom? What is the overall security and compliance position for users and their devices? Are our devices at optimal health? And, when and which devices do we replace?
Effective budgeting and planning. Proactive user support and analytics offers deeper insights through monitoring, continuous health checks and more effective use of scarce IT resources.
IT support cost savings. Preventing IT issues before they happen just makes sense. Prevention is more cost-effective and employees are happier and more productive because there are fewer IT issues interrupting their work days.
Increased uptime. Through proactive monitoring and analytics we can identify areas of vulnerability and fix them before they become serious disruptions. This leads to increased uptime that can be tracked consistently with analytics.
Enhanced data security and compliance. Proactive monitoring and analytics can also identify changes in security policies, shadow IT, undesirable or unauthorized databases or activities that may make a device vulnerable to malware. Automation, user notifications and feedback mechanisms create a cooperative environment with the users as opposed to difficult and costly enforcement.
Improved response times. Proactive support identifies issues before the user calls, and if they do call the help desk takes action much faster. All issues receive better attention because of more automated and effective resolution tools.
We understand that when companies make improvements to IT systems they look for three main benefits: cost savings, efficiency and productivity. Taking a proactive approach to user support with effective user-experience monitoring backed up by analytics will meet these goals, both in the short and long run. It requires an investment in time and money, but it's well worth the effort.
Have a look at the white paper, written by my colleague, Alan Broadhead to find more information on how DXC is implementing Predictive and Proactive user support.

Can artificial intelligence out-smart cities?

The new Russia: a model state
George Schöpflin
The new Russia is changing in a number of unpredictable ways, but it is beginning to challenge the west in an area hitherto thought sacrosanct - respect for democracy. Even as the country prepares to vote in the presidential election of 2 March 2008, the character of this change is increasingly evident both in Russia's domestic political system and in the exercise of its power abroad.
George Schöpflin is a member of the European parliament for Fidesz (Hungarian Civic Union) and was Jean Monnet professor of politics at University College London It has been clear for a while that under Vladimir Putin, Russia's so-called "sovereign democracy" had next to nothing in common with the democratic norms practised in the west; that, on the contrary, the gap between the two has been increasing. The Putin model seems to have little or no room for four key propositions at the heart of democracy:
* that citizens should be able to make inputs into the power of the state
* that power should be exercised with the consent of the governed
* that power should be transparent and accountable
* that tax money should be spent with the benefit of the citizens in mind.
In a word, Russia has moved towards a form of authoritarianism, one that appears stable and has sufficient domestic support to keep it going. The certain victory of Putin's anointed successor, Dmitry Medvedev, in the presidential election - and the nature of the electoral process itself - amply illustrate these trends.
Also by George Schöpflin in openDemocracy:
"Putin's anti-globalisation strategy" (9 July 2006)
Israel-Lebanon: a battle over modernity (7 August 2006)
"Hungary: country without consequences" (21 September 2006)
Hungary's cold civil war (14 November 2006)
The European Union's troubled birthday (23 March 2007)
Russia's reinvented empire (2 May 2007)
European Union: after the reform treaty (10 July 2007)
Turkey's crisis and the European Union (23 July 2007)In its relations with the rest of the world, however, Russia is adopting a much more aggressive posture, buoyed up by the extraordinarily high price of energy and other raw materials. Russia has intervened blatantly in the internal affairs of those of its neighbours that would like to move towards a western idea of democracy - Ukraine, Georgia, and the Baltic states can all testify to this. There are other, less noisy interventions in the former Soviet satellites; and even some in the west itself.
What is new is the Russian readiness to support authoritarians in the European Union and elsewhere in the world. The EU regards democracy as integral to its identity (part of its DNA, in the phrase of Portuguese prime minister, José Sócrates, in transferring his country's presidency of the EU to Slovenia in December 2007). This stance, however, tends to proceed from the flawed assumption that democracy is the default condition of the world - so that with a little help, any state can be propelled towards attaining it. Russia has begun to regard the implied "democracy agenda" as a threat and a challenge, and has found the counter-instruments to spread authoritarianism.
The use of the energy weapon is the most widely recognised of these. Russia has since 2006 enjoyed considerable success in this area, for example by putting together bilateral deals that lock states into the embrace of the giant Gazprom company. This allows Russia to exert subsequent pressure on its putative partners. Moreover, it can use its United Nations Security Council veto as leverage to extend international crises, as over Kosovo (Kosova).
The crisis over Kosovan independence has allowed Russia to consolidate its already great influence over Serbia. This is directed at capturing Serbia's energy infrastructure and simultaneously seeking to block Serbia's eventual EU membership by encouraging like-minded authoritarians. The success of Tomislav Nikolic in the first round of Serbia's presidential elections was in this respect a welcome development from Moscow's point of view; and though the pro-western Boris Tadic did win in the second round, his wafer-thin majority reflected the size of the constituency open to the Russian message.
A slow succession
The Soviet Union's former communist placemen constitute an obvious network of influence, which Russia uses with alacrity. This is not merely a matter of KGB-trained secret policemen still in positions of power or former communist officials rebranded as "socialists", but also involves a significant number of middle- to senior-level foreign ministry and foreign-trade officials, as well as businessmen (or, in a few cases, businesswomen), and journalists. Many were, during the Soviet period, socialised into regarding Russia as a source of influence and power.
Among openDemocracy's many articles on Russia politics and society:
Ivan Krastev, "'Sovereign democracy', Russian-style" (16 November 2006)
Oksana Chelysheva, "Russia's iceberg: a Nizhny Novgorod report" (25 April 2007)
Tanya Lokshina, "Russian civil society: an appeal to Europe" (30 April 2007)
Zygmunt Dzieciolowski, "Russia's unequal struggle" (18 May 2007)
Armine Ishkanian, "Nashi: Russia's youth counter-movement" (30 August 2007)
Ivan Krastev, "Russia vs Europe: the sovereignty wars" (5 September 2007)
Mary Dejevsky, "After Putin" (21 September 2007)
Zygmunt Dzieciolowski"Vladimir Putin for ever" (2 October 2007)
Anna Sevortian, "Russia: seeds of change" (20 November 2007)
Zygmunt Dzieciolowski, "The future is ours: Russia's youth activists in dialogue" (19 January 2008)
In the Boris Yeltsin years, these ties were left largely dormant, but they are now being reactivated. As a result, if there is a conflict of interest between the west and Russia, some of those in Moscow's orbit will certainly opt for the resurgent Russia with its rewards, lucrative contracts and other benefits from the energy bonanza. The FSB, the self-conscious successor of the KGB, is actively pursuing these objectives.
In addition, the Russian minorities outside Russia are being actively targeted; they include both the approximately 2 million in the Baltic states and the new migrant communities throughout western Europe. Around 250,000 Russian live in London alone; it is inconceivable that the FSB is not active among them.
The system being brought into life by Russia involves the state providing susceptible elites with access to rewards while the remainder of the population is either ignored or (as far as possible) marginalised by communicative techniques and so-called "political technologies". The strategy involves forms of political re-engineering that produce a rent-seeking elite and a population allowed just enough in the way of material benefits to keep it docile, but with next to no say in politics. Elections - and the 2 December 2007 parliamentary polls are as apt an example as the presidential ones of 2 March - are constructed in such a way as to produce the simulacrum of an opposition; before, during and after them, the aura of the leader is built up in a way designed to make him appear to transcend politics.
The free-ride's end
There is very little chance that the west (whether the United States or the European Union) can do much to halt the trend, though greater awareness of the new Russian foreign-policy strategy would help. The Putin elite, many of them with KGB backgrounds - the siloviki - are still relatively new in power and (like most newly empowered elites) see no reason for restraint, let alone to make compromises. They will pursue their objective of building up Russia's economic positions with political resonance wherever and whenever they can. The Russians' readiness to exploit the west's naivete about the new mixture of economic power and political strength is quite open.
There is a further, rather worrying lesson to be drawn from this. The west has had a free ride since the collapse of communism, during which time democracy really was the only game in town and authoritarianism appeared to be on the run. The international environment made authoritarianism unacceptable. Russia is looking to reverse this and wherever possible give aid and comfort to authoritarians, natural allies of Moscow. The readiness to legitimate authoritarians and thereby weaken the west's vision of a stable and democratic world is evident, though the west has still to recognise this Russian initiative for what it is.
Russia's dislike of democracy can be given long-term historical explanations; but equally cogent is the straightforward fact that the experiment with democracy (of a sort) in the 1990s was a failure - and, worse, is seen by a majority of Russians as such. A similar broad judgment can be made in relation to several Latin American countries and to some extent southeastern Europe; and even in central Europe, the success of democracy is at best partial (the Slovak National Party - a member of the governing coalition - is hardly the best advertisement for democratic tolerance)
A global competition
A key element in permitting this democratic retreat has been the same in each region: the dominance of the belief that democracy consists of elections and not much else. No attention was paid in the relevant countries to establishing and maintaining the infrastructure needed to make democracy work: the rule of law, transparency, and accountability being the most salient. Worse, the west wholly misunderstood the commitment to democracy of the post-communist leftwing governments in central Europe, as this commitment existed largely on paper; instead, using the spaces created by globalisation, the former communist nomenklatura saw a chance to get rich and continue to do so. This, clearly, was a welcome development from Moscow's perspective.
The openDemocracy network includes a new Russia section edited by Hugh Barnes; its articles include:
Lesley Chamberlain, "From Russia: the art of engagement" (30 January 2008)
In broader terms, the linkage between democracy and globalisation - the belief that a wholly free and unregulated capital market would somehow produce democracy - has proved thoroughly unhelpful to democracy, as those opposed to the damage done by globalisation have been able to indict democratic practices as a co-culprit. The excesses of globalisation have begun to generate resistance, and non-democratic ideas and practices have re-emerged in states where democracy was newly established.
In Russia, where democratic roots are weak anyway, rolling back democratic institutions, like civil society, has been straightforward. Vladimir Putin does not have to pay much regard to the electorate which can (to the degree necessary) be "fixed" once every four years by using money and media manipulation. Russia's authoritarian allies have been taking heart from the success of the Putin model and have begun to rely on similar vulnerabilities: a weak civil society; low institutional authority and corresponding preference for arranging things through personal contacts; wielding legal provision for political purposes (misusing health-and-safety regulations and tax legislation are excellent examples); and intimidation of the media.
What Russia under Vladimir Putin has been doing - and there are no signs that the model will change after he ceases to be president - is to support a particular type of authoritarian governance. It entails:
* the creation of a rent-seeking elite
* "informalism"
* exclusion of society from power
* over-regulation to prevent legal clarity
* privileges for allies
* sanctions for opponents
* exploiting the west's near-religious faith in globalisation as "a good thing".
Democracy now has a serious and active competitor in globalised authoritarianism. Unless there is an early and widespread realisation of this, the stability and democracy advocated by the west will continue to experience severe setbacks.

Firefighters were dispatched to a small grass fire shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday in the wash behind the new Porsche dealership near Auto Center Drive in Valencia.
"This is a small quarter-acre encampment fire," said Sky Cornell, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
While they were originally worried about the fire spreading, additional units were called off as first units arrived on the scene at 8:45 a.m., according to fire officials.
The quarter-acre fire was located in the wash that runs underneath Valencia Boulevard, no structures were threatened and it was slow to spread, Cornell said.
The fire was stopped at the homeless encampment and no injuries were reported, according to Cornell.
The fire was extinguished at 9:21 a.m., fire officials said.

Offering a complete safe solution to support the design of versatile custom-built conveyor and assembly lines, the new 24 V DC Interroll RollerDrive EC310 uses up to 30% less energy and recycles brake energy.
Simple control technology and coordinated functions enable the space-saving drive to simplify zero line pressure accumulation conveyor technology. It can be integrated seamlessly into new or existing systems.
The new generation of control technology enables all components to be combined into one functional compact unit. All elements of the system can safely operate in ambient temperatures from 0 to 40 ̊C and comply with IP54 up to IP66 protection rating.
The EC310 conveyor drive is claimed to offer outstanding torque at all speeds with excellent acceleration/ braking performance, optimum energy-savings, low operating temperature and superb start-stop performance for all unit load handling applications, including food industry and packaging as well as checkweighers and logistic applications.
A zero pressure accumulation conveyor fitted with RollerDrives is energy-efficient, as individual modules only run when containers are present. Once containers move off, the conveyor modules no longer run but remain ready for transporting product. Compared with this, a typical zero pressure accumulation conveyor with a flat belt or line shaft has much higher energy consumption and noise emissions.

Mason looking for fresh start with Texans
BY foxsports • October 14, 2011
Somewhere, Derrick Mason has an Oilers' helmet, a reminder of just how long he's lasted in the NFL.
The 37-year-old Mason practiced with the Texans on Thursday for the first time since he was traded to Houston from the Jets.
It's an all-too-fitting place for Mason to make a fresh start after a brief and rocky stint in New York. He was a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Oilers in 1997, just as the franchise was leaving Houston.
Back then, Mason had the same No. 82 he wears now, and he briefly worked with the team in Houston before it moved to Nashville for good.
''I kind of came full-circle, so it's a good thing,'' Mason said. ''Everything happens for a reason. You try to find some good in a situation that could've possibly been bad. You make the best out of it and you move on.''
Mason played eight seasons with Tennessee, where his family still lives. He spent six seasons in Baltimore, before signing with the Jets, where he was reunited with former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.
He caught only 13 passes in five games for the Jets, and was benched in favor of rookie Jeremy Kerley in New York's 30-21 loss at New England on Sunday. Mason had envisioned helping New York make a Super Bowl run, but the Jets said he underperformed and jumped at the chance to deal him away when the Texans inquired about him.
Houston went looking for another receiver after Andre Johnson injured his right hamstring against Pittsburgh two weeks ago. Texans coach Gary Kubiak hopes Mason can learn fast and be ready to play by Sunday, when Houston (3-2) visits Baltimore (3-1).
''I'm comfortable with him playing,'' Kubiak said. ''I think he'll be fine, and I think our guys will help him, too.''
And Mason is eager to show the Texans what he can still do.
He had three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in Baltimore before his total dropped to 802 in 2010. He said that dip had more to do with the Ravens' acquisition of Anquan Boldin and the emergence of Ray Rice than with his own abilities.
''Someone's always doubting whether I can go out there and play at a high level or not,'' Mason said. ''People look at the age and not the productivity. If you drop 100 or 200 yards, all of a sudden, `Oh, the guy's going downhill.' It wasn't my fault that I dropped 200 yards. It was just that we had more weapons in Baltimore.
''You just catch the ball when it comes to you, and I've been able to do that,'' he said. ''What I'm able to do on the field hasn't diminished.''
Mason is already familiar with some of the terminology Houston incorporates in its offense because he played for the late Mike Heimerdinger in Tennessee. Heimerdinger, who died of cancer on Sept. 30, was the receivers coach in Denver from 1995-99, when Kubiak was the offensive coordinator.
''To come back full circle and be in the offense again is a good thing,'' Mason said. ''It'll still take a little time, because I've been through 3-4 other systems. But for the first day or two, I've scored pretty high, if you're on a grading system.''
Jacoby Jones moved into Johnson's starting role for Sunday's 25-20 loss to Oakland. Jones caught only one pass for nine yards, and was the target when Michael Huff intercepted Matt Schaub in the end zone on the final play.
Instead of feeling slighted, Jones sees the acquisition of Mason as an opportunity to learn from another one of the league's top receivers. Mason ranks 12th in NFL history with 937 receptions and leads all active receivers with 12,006 yards.
''Any time you got a guy who's got great experience like that, he can help us out no matter what,'' Jones said.
Mason said he's ready to take on whatever role Kubiak sees for him.
''I'm just here to have fun and enjoy it, and whenever my number is called, just make the play,'' he said. ''If it's inside or outside, it doesn't matter to me. As I continue to pick up on the playbook, I know that my role will expand some. And then once (Johnson) comes back, we'll see where it goes from there.''
Notes: Kubiak is encouraged by Johnson's progress a week after he underwent a minor procedure to heal his hamstring injury. ''I'm very pleased with what I'm watching over there,'' Kubiak said. ''It's put a smile on a lot of people's faces the last couple days. Obviously, he still has time to go. But with what's going on, you just feel so positive about what's got a chance to happen down the road.''

The 6 Best Gluten-Free Snacks You Can Buy on Amazon, According to Nutritionists
Finding good gluten-free snacks can be tricky, so we did the research for you.
By Kathleen Mulpeter April 17, 2019
Credit: Amazon
Snacking when you're following a gluten-free diet can be tricky; many of the obvious choices—crackers, cookies, granola, even certain brands of flavored nuts—can contain the wheat-based protein. So you don't have to puzzle over food labels in the grocery store, we polled nutritionists to find out which gluten-fee snacks they love. As a bonus, all of their picks are available on Amazon.
Struggling to cook healthy? We'll help you prep.
Sign up for our new weekly newsletter, ThePrep, for inspiration and support for all your meal plan struggles.
1 Amrita Plant Protein Gluten-Free Mini Bars
Sweet tooth? Reach for these protein-packed bites, a favorite of Health's contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD. "At just 3 grams of sugar per mini, I can get a chocolatey fix along with 4 grams of plant protein," she says. In addition to being gluten-free, they're also free of other common allergens like dairy, soy, eggs, and nuts.
Available at amazon.com $13
2 NOW Real Food Crunchy Clusters
With ingredients like cashews, almonds, pistachios, blueberries, and cranberries, these flavorful fruit and nut clusters deliver "just enough sweetness to answer that 'p.m. calling,'" says Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, RD. She loves that they contain heart-healthy fats, respectable amounts of protein and fiber (5 and 2 grams, respectively), and relatively little sugar. The convenience factor is good, too. "You can pack a portion in a small container or resealable bag," Bazilian says. "Portion out your own 'right amount' and enjoy the crunchy, sweet, nutty treat."
Available at amazon.com $9
3 Mary's Gone Crackers
While delicious, these crunchy crackers aren't as addicting as, say, a bag of salty potato chips. "They're good without being too good," says Stephanie Middleberg, RD, a nutritionist based in New York City. "The serving size of 13 crackers is enough for most people, but they do not feel like they need to have 'just one more.'" Plus, they're a great source of fiber, low in sodium, and packed with plant-based protein.
RELATED: Whole30-Approved Snacks That Don't Taste Like Diet Food
4 Flackers
Another great gluten-free cracker option for dipping in hummus or guacamole, Flackers come in a variety of yummy flavors and are packed with protein and fiber. "The ingredients are super clean, and flax seeds are one of the top plant-based sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids," Middleberg says.
Available at amazon.com $23 for 3 boxes
5 KIND Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Bars
"Granola bars are such an easy on-the-go snack, but not all are created equal," says Keri Gans, RD, a New York City-based nutritionist. She loves that these have just 5 grams of sugar and 7 grams of fiber, a winning combination that may help stabilize blood sugar. Also good: 6 grams of satiating protein and only 200 calories.
Available at amazon.com $15 for 12
For more great articles and delicious, healthy recipes, sign up for the Cooking Light newsletter.
6 The Good Bean
Erika Horowitz, RD, is a big fan of this savory, crunchy snack. "Nutritionally, it's a good snack to keep you satisfied from the protein and fiber," she says. They come in many flavors, but the sea salt variety (pictured) is Horowitz's fave.
Available at amazon.com $23 for 6 bags

Q: Android foursquare:How can i know that whether check in has done or not? I am working on an Android application in which I want to integrate foursquare check-in. I have done my work till display of venues. Now when i select one place among the places in list.
Then i want to know how I can know whether the user has checked in that place successfully or not.
i am using this code.
try {
    // Construct data
    String data = URLEncoder.encode("ll", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(""+lat+" ,"+lon+" ", "UTF-8");

    data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("venueId", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(mNearbyList.get(position).id, "UTF-8");
    data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("oauth_token", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(mSession.getAccessToken(), "UTF-8");

    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
    wr.write(data);
    wr.flush();

    // Get the response
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Log.v(TAG,"Exception occur");
    }
    }
});

Please help me. What should I write now to check whether user has checked in or not. I really need your help. You can give your suggestions very freely.

A: It looks like you are performing the checking, so as described here - you will get back a checkin object.
The checkin object is described here (following the link at the end of the checking/add api link just provided).
If you get that checkin object and not an error it means the checkin worked (there is a checkin id with that object)

Q: Node strange user input async behaviour I am just getting used to Node programming, but I have come across this execution issue which I am slightly confused about.
I am trying to test if a write path already exists and if it does then ask the user for input.
function testPath(fileName) {
  fs.exists(path.resolve('.', fileName), function(exists) {
  //the filepath already exists, ask for user confirmation
  if(exists) {
    process.stdin.on('keypress', function (str, key) {
    //print result of keypress to console
    console.log("str: ", str, " key: ", key);

    if ((str.toLowerCase() == "n") || (~["y", "n"].indexOf(str.toLowerCase()))) {
      return false;
    }
    else {
      return true;
    }
  });
  }
  else {
  //the filepath does not already exist - return true
  return true;
}
console.log("Filename in the target directory already exists, would you like to overwrite? (y/n)");
});
}

This function as a whole will be be resolved (or not) by a promise called on it.
The message to user and wait for keypress seem to action in the correct way but it sticks in a loop and never returns even on a valid keypress, does anyone know why this would be?

A: If you want to use it as a promise, you need to return a promise:
function testPath(fileName) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        fs.exists(path.resolve('.', fileName), function(exists) {
        //the filepath already exists, ask for user confirmation
        if(exists) {
            process.stdin.on('keypress', function (str, key) {
            //print result of keypress to console
            console.log("str: ", str, " key: ", key);

            if ((str.toLowerCase() == "n") || (~["y", "n"].indexOf(str.toLowerCase()))) {
            return reject();
            }
            else {
            return resolve();
            }
        });
        }
        else {
        //the filepath does not already exist - return true
        return resolve();
        }
        console.log("Filename in the target directory already exists, would you like to overwrite? (y/n)");
        });
        }
    })

With equal hints of dusky bluegrass and clarion Celtic folk, Brauns has written a batch of tunes that are brimming with earthy pulchritude, highlighted by her remarkable vocals and subtle but involving production from Portland Cello Project's Douglas Jenkins. Remarkable songs like the gamboling "Maps" and the stirring, album-opening title track prove that Brauns has made a record destined to become an evergreen.

This important Recipe series is a take on how and why the POWER Rub was first created by superhero TasteeBQ. A fun and informative read.
This is one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Where do those Chickens come from? Why are the prepared ones cheaper than buying fresh ones? What road did those (same sized) Chickens cross to get to our table side ? Why are they so good? TasteeBQ had no time go ponder these deep thoughts. It was dinner time, traffic stucked, and those Rotisserie Chickens at the grocery looked mighty fine.
But hadn't he consumed a whole Rotisserie Chicken every night for the past four days? He considered getting that $5.00 Fried 8-pc Chicken deal tonight… Nah maybe next time. So our Hero had to come up with a scheme. Some way to make the same, tasty Rotisserie Chicken taste not so… same. TasteeBQ came up with a Plan. Why not fly all over the world and seek Herbal Wisdom in a jar?

A fractal curve (boundary) is an apt mathematical treatment of this question. Indeterminacy can be described as the result of bifurcation leading to competing, distinct, but equally valid, meanings. Borderline cases (and vagueness) arise at the "edge of chaos" - in concepts and predicates with co-evolving static and chaotic elements. (Focal) meanings can be thought of as attractors. Contexts can be thought of as attractor landscapes in the phase space of language. They can also be described as fitness landscapes with optimum epistasis (interdependence of values assigned to meanings). The process of deriving meaning (or disambiguating) is akin to tracing a basin of attraction. It can be described as a perturbation in a transient, leading to a stable state.

11 Many components of the marketing course of (e.g. product design , Art direction , Model management , promoting , Copywriting and so on.) contain use of the artistic arts. Next to all important courses (B2B, B2C, Marketing, Strategy) revolutionary matters are lined as nicely (e.g. GeoMarketing). It's stated that individuals don't buy services or products — they buy emotions and experiences.
Running a blog is usually used as content marketing. Promotions are likely to fluctuate being dependent on what stage of product life cycle the product is at the moment in. Marketers have to be aware that customers associate a product's value and distribution with its quality, and could be prudent to take this into consideration when devising the general marketing technique.
Personalize content and ship experiences which can be significant to every customer — and do it at scale. This major supplies you with an understanding of the role marketing plays in creating buyer worth. As an alternative of pitching your products or services, you are offering really related and helpful content to your prospects and prospects to assist them remedy their points.

Q: boost filesystem - How to get last write time for symlink without resolving? Suppose we have 2 files:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ... 3 Jun  8 09:42 d3 -> dir
d--------- 3 ... 80 Jun  9 16:14 dir

One is a symlink to a directory, and another is the actual directory.
When I write
namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
std::cout << "last write time for symlink : " <<
    fs::last_write_time("x/d3") << " and the actual dir : " <<
    fs::last_write_time("x/dir") << std::endl;

I get back:
last write time for symlink : 1528578878 and the actual dir : 1528578878

This means the last_write_time is resolving my path that I'm inputting. How do I use boost::filesystem to get the actual statistics?
If not, then I think I'll have to resort to lstat'ing the symlink which is fine, but a little smelly having to move from modern c++ to low level c syscalls.
Here's an example of the lstat solution(todo: obviously throw a better exception):
std::time_t last_write_time(const fs::path& p){
    struct stat s;
    if(lstat(p.c_str(), &s) == -1)
        throw "last_write_time failed.";
    return s.st_mtime;
}

A: Unfortunately we can see from operations.cpp that the only lstat() call in Boost Filesystem is in symlink_status(), which returns only the file type and permissions, not timestamps.
So you're out of luck for now, but you could try submitting a patch, as clearly Boost Filesystem is not averse to using lstat().

Q: How to save and plot array from for loop at unit time interval? I would like to plot a variable at each unit-time interval. In the example below I would therefore like to plot x at time equal to 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (but not time equal to 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.25 and so on). Is it for example possible to save the x-array for times equal to 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and then plot this vs time (so we should get five graphs in the same figure)?
dtime=0.25;         % time-step
NTime=5/dtime;      % Number of time-steps

dspace=0.5;         % Distance between each x-values
NSpace=10/dspace;   % Number of x-values at each time-steps

x_old=ones(NSpace,1);
for j=1:NTime
for i=1:NSpace
x(i,1)=x_old(i,1)*5;
end
x_old=x;
end

A: Yes, it's possible. Try something like:
dtime=0.25;         % time-step
NTime=5/dtime;      % Number of time-steps

dspace=0.5;         % Distance between each x-values
NSpace=10/dspace;   % Number of x-values at each time-steps

x_old=ones(NSpace,1);
figure; %create a figure
for j=1:NTime
    for i=1:NSpace
        x(i,1)=x_old(i,1)*5;
    end

    % logic to find right time and plot
    current_time = j * dtime;
    if ~isempty(find(current_time == [1,2,3,4,5] ))
        plot(1:dspace:NSpace, x) % you might have to change this depending on what you want to plot
        hold on;
    end
x_old=x;
end


RED RUBBER BALL, MATERIALS, WHAT DAY IS IT?
Another gorgeous day in Portland today with a consistent breeze, no humidity, and a high of 91º.
Reserved seats at 8AM for the Rose Festival Parade.
Yesterday was formatted a little differently than the other days. We didn't have a morning meeting, just an overall check-in with everyone in the course. The CMDs were given some free time to continue to pull imagery and materials for our global color palettes. For the rest of the day, our schedule was not very structured other than having team meetings with D'Wayne.
Advice from Rules of the Red Rubber Ball.
It was my turn to read Rules of the Red Rubber Ball by Kevin Carroll Katalyst, a book on finding your passion and following it. Kevin also wrote another book called What's Your Red Rubber Ball? I would definitely suggest the read for anyone, whether you have already found your passion or not.

The National Portrait Gallery has a new exhibit, and it is as timely as it is introspective. Eye to I: Self-Portraits from 1900 to Today examines how people throughout American history have chosen to portray themselves, from early self portraits to today's selfies on social media platforms. It's a fascinating glimpse at identity and an important reflection on its evolution in the country's history.
Contributors include modern art guru Josef Albers, cross-disciplinary artist Patricia Cronin, photographer Imogen Cunningham, and many more. The exhibition opened at the beginning of November, and continues through August of 2019. This exhibition is the final installation on display that concludes the Portrait Gallery's 50thanniversary celebration, and will be included in the illustrated companion book planned for next year. See this and many other exhibits with a trip to the National Portrait Gallery this holiday season, and as always, enjoy free admission to see its impressive collections.
The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

What should I look for when searching for a Body Contouring Company?
Look for a company that will guarantee results. Be weary of companies charging in excess of $2000-2500 for a treatment that will "supposedly" work 3-6 months down the road(Cool-sculpting). These treatments typically do not produce any results and in most cases they will provide false pictures to sell their product. Look for a company watermark on pictures and ask to speak with recent clients. Check out their social media accounts with pictures tagged to real clients so you can see their real results.
