Hotel Oliver/Lawrence Hotel - Ellwood City, PA
In 1889 local industrialist Henry W. Hartman (1850-1913), who previously owned a steel plant and other interests in nearby Beaver Falls, made plans to begin a new settlement along southern banks of the Connoquenessing Creek just within the confines of Lawrence County. He organized and served as the President of the Pittsburgh Company, a corporation that purchased the land and would oversee all aspects of the construction and growth of the town. Hartman envisioned his new settlement, which he named Ellwood after barbed wire pioneer Isaac L. Ellwood – and later lengthened to Ellwood City, as a major manufacturing center.
Hartman knew it would take time to build up Ellwood as an industrial mecca, so in the meantime he played up the idea that his new settlement could serve as a resort area for hardworking folks from western Pennsylvania. Among his first projects was the building of a luxury hotel and the establishment of a nature retreat along the Connoquenessing Creek known as Glen Park.
Ground was first broken after the winter thaw of 1890 and one of the first structures to be built in Ellwood City was the Hotel Oliver. The building site was situated at the end of Fifth Street (on Crescent Avenue) and had a commanding view of the Connoquenessing Creek gorge and neighboring Hazel Dell.
The hotel was named in honor of steel industry giant Henry W. Oliver (1840-1904), who was born in Ireland, immigrated to Pittsburgh with his family when he was a youngster, served in the Civil War, got involved in the coal, railroad, and steel industries, and helped found the Oliver Iron & Steel Company in 1888. Oliver's interests mined the massive Mesabi Range in Minnesota and eventually served as the leading supplier of iron ore to powerful steel manufacturing companies owned by Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J. P. Morgan. The 25-story Henry W. Oliver Building in downtown Pittsburgh, completed in 1910, is named in his honor.
The Hotel Oliver opened to the public in early May 1891 and Henry Oliver and a host of other dignitaries from Pittsburgh were on hand for the grand opening. The establishment cost about $45,000 (fully-furnished) and was a luxurious establishment complete with such amenities as electric lights, sanitary plumbing, and steam heat. It was surrounded by a large twelve-acre grove and picnic grounds known as Oliver Park, which included two cottages and a "t-shaped" out building (which opened in July 1891) containing a billiards room, bowling alley, and a few small apartments. Its bar and social lounge, a separate building connected to the rear of the main hotel structure, would become a favorite meeting place among the prominent men of Ellwood City.
At that same time a corporation known as the Ellwood City Hotel Company, initially led by Merritt Green, an executive to Hartman, was organized and soon formerly purchased the Hotel Oliver from the Pittsburgh Company for $80,000. John Lee of Philadelphia served as the first manager of the establishment, but immediately came to despise Ellwood City and vacated the post after only two weeks.
Records and newspaper articles on the actual ownership of this hotel are very confusing, as it seems the Pittsburg Company – through the Ellwood City Hotel Company – retained overall control of the venture.
Lee's departure set a precedent and the management of the hotel changed hands frequently and subsequent managers over the next five years included L. B. North, William H. Koerner, Samuel A. Roefels, Thomas H. Brady, Bernard "Bernie" Blystone, Henry Straub, and William G. Clark. Many others followed in their footsteps.
Despite the high turnover of management things initially went well and the upscale hotel was the scene of many private events including dances, banquets, dinners, and alumni meetings. A constant battle to maintain a liquor license – and defending itself against claims of unauthorized sales of liquor – began to take its toll and a steady decline in business began in the early 1900's.
The hotel was sold by the Hartman interests (Pittsburg Company) to a group of Pittsburgh businessman led by Elmer E. Cleveland in April 1905. (I believe this Elmer Cleveland may have been same man who played minor and major league baseball between 1884-1891, including with the Pittsburgh Allegheny's in 1888.) The Lawrence County Sheriff actually closed the financially-strapped hotel and seized its contents in October 1905, until settlements were reached with several creditors a few weeks later.
The establishment, which began to make money again, was rebranded as the Lawrence Hotel in about 1906. Most modern-day accounts report this name change happened back in 1896, but old newspaper articles clearly show the name Oliver was associated with the business up until 1906. Soon after the name change took effect for good (in 1906) the hotel was formerly sold back to the Pittsburg Company in May 1907 for $60,000.
The hotel soon began a downturn again was sold to another group of Pittsburgh businessmen in 1911. At about the same time a temperance movement was dominating Lawrence County politics and the hotel and others like it were denied licenses to sell liquor. This and other restrictions brought about a severe financial loss and forced the hotel – which sold meals and replaced liquor with soda drinks – out of business by May 1913.
In June 1914 the property was sold for only $19,000 to the Ellwood City Board of Education, which made some modifications and dubbed it as the Lawrence Building. The first floor of the building became the home of the Ellwood City High School when the older students from the severely-crowded Central Public School transferred there. The Ellwood City public library also moved into the building, while the second floor of the former hotel was rented out as apartments.
A few years later school board officials starting discussions on building two new schoolhouses on the approximate site of the Lawrence Building. In mid-1923 construction began on a primary school, named the Hartman School in honor of Ellwood City's founder, on property adjoining the Lawrence Building on the corner Fourth Street and Crescent Avenue. This building opened for classes in August 1924.
A few months later, in October 1924, the school board agreed to sell the Lawrence Building, including all of the lumber, to construction guru Joseph A. McCandless of Ellwood City for $1,025. McCandless soon had the former hotel and school building dismantled and carted away. Construction of a new high school building, later christened Lincoln High School in honor of the Sixteenth President of the United States, began soon after and was opened for classes in early September 1926. The short-lived Hotel Oliver/Lawrence Hotel – built to the finest specifications – was no more.

The luxurious hotel was named after Irish-born steel magnet and politician Henry W. Oliver, who oversaw an empire associated with steel, iron, railroading, and mining industires. He died in Pittburgh in February 1904 at the age of sixty-four and was interred in the Allegheny Cemetery, the final resting place of many Pittsburgh notables.
Henry Oliver's will stipulated that he wanted a massive office building erected by his estate to consolidate his business interests – and presumably to leave his mark on the city landscape. When the twenty-five-story Henry W. Oliver Building, or simply Oliver Building, opened in April 1910 it was the tallest building in downtown Pittsburgh. It's still in use today, but now its only the nineteenth tallest building in Pittsburgh. (c1912)

A public auction of its contents was avoided when settlements were reached with several creditors a few weeks later. Full Size

This postcard is postmarked in June 1911. The hotel went out of business in May 1913 and was bought by the Ellwood City school board a year later. The first floor was used as the Ellwood City High School for the next decade, until razed in 1924 to make room for the new Lincoln High School.

Through these next few months we're going to have refinement energy that is serving two purposes. As we become clearer within ourselves, our manifestation becomes quicker and easier (without so many lessons along the way!). Also, as Lightworkers we are moving into a time of increased guidance for the masses that are awakening at a more rapid pace since the 11/11/11, so as we refine within ourselves we are learning perspective that serves others. Assisting the masses is about living your Truth. We each have different jobs as Lightworkers and it only serves to remind everyone that they, too, are Lightworkers. If your job is accountant and you are a Lightworker, then as you live your Truth openly, you are serving. Not preaching to your officemates about your belief structure, not leaving accounting because it's not spiritual (everything is spiritual!) but living them - treating others the way you want to be treated, being authentic, holding flexible boundaries that serve your expansion, nourishment and integrity, observing others without judgment and finding a win/win perspective and solution to every experience. In this sense you expand 'being an accountant' into being a Lightworker with an aspect of your Lightwork being accounting. This takes you beyond the drone of work and brings Life into every moment. As you do that you are changing the vibration of the office, the company, the employees, the corporate governing system and more.
At this stage in our Ascension, we are becoming adept at creating our reality. We are living and exemplifying the Mastery of Love. This is an empowered stance of the courage to find the wisdom in any experience and continue our focus even though the logic of the masses would dictate otherwise. The masses are now awakening at a faster pace, the Lightworkers are now more supported to hold a vibration that facilitates global shift. Change is your Freedom in whatever form it comes, for it is leading toward improvement. As you resist, you are holding a fear-based vibration of incapability and uncertainty. Don't resist the resistance! It is important to appreciate it and observe what it is teaching you about yourself. Do you feel overwhelmed, unfocused, at odds within your beliefs or powerless? This is a time of refinement and enhancement. Allow the minor details to empower you to change. Observance and Allowance are fearless states of Knowing that All is Well, even if it may not be apparent in the moment.
As we sit to Blast Resisting Change, we are empowering our Mastery in the Now, which includes all moments. We are practicing holding the vibration of Love empowered and Knowing that the Universal Flow of Life supports us toward improvement. We are the observers that shift the vibration of what is into the vibration of what Love is. We are the Wayshowers that teach what it means to live a life of Sharing Love in the world. When Love directs change, we find the wonder of Life available at every turn. That is the power within you that no one can resist! Blast on!

Q: Mock API calls made in Application class as part of UI testing Background:
Our Android Application, onCreate, launches some initialisation use cases that execute some network API calls.
In parallel, our LAUNCHER Activity is launched.
In our UI Tests, we use MockWebServer to stub API responses and we use ANDROIDX_TEST_ORCHESTRATOR 1.1.1
Problem:
In our UI tests involving the Main Activity, we would like to stub different responses for the initialisation API calls, from the test.
In other words, each test should be able to specify what responses the initialisation API calls return.
However, since the initialisation services launch before the Activity, and all the code in the UI tests run AFTER the application is already launched. We are no able to influence the responses that occur before it.
Question:
Is there a way to manually launch the application from within a Test like we can do with an ActivityTestRule for an Activity? This will allow us to stub the initialisation API calls based on the requirements of the test and then launch the application.

A: If you check the ActivityTestRule docs:
ActivityTestRule (Class<T> activityClass,
                boolean initialTouchMode,
                boolean launchActivity)

So you can set to false the launchActivity parameter:
@Rule
public final ActivityTestRule<ActivityToTest> mActivityRule =
    new ActivityTestRule<>(ActivityToTest.class, true, false);

and perform the things you need at the beginning of the tests and then launch the activity at the moment you want with null as a parameter:
mActivity = mActivityRule.launchActivity(null);

or with an intent with the needed extras in case you need them:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("your_key", "your_value");
mActivity = mActivityRule.launchActivity(intent);

Sikh devotees pay respects to 100-year-old Guru Granth Sahib
Comments Off on Sikh devotees pay respects to 100-year-old Guru Granth Sahib 875 Views
Hyderabad,India: Hundreds of devotees made a beeline to Gurudwaras in Hyderabad on Sunday to catch the glimpse of century old copies and manuscripts of Guru Granth Sahib, the revered scripture of the Sikhs. The ancient manuscripts have been put on display for the devotees to pay their respects.
Thousands of devotees thronged Gurudwara Guru Singh Sabha at Ashok Bazar and Gurudwara Saheb at Secunderabad to catch a glance of the 100-year-old Guru Granth Sahib.
One of the holy scriptures is one inch in size and contains 1,430 pages, while another, 275-year-old, was handwritten by Baba Deep Singh and Bhai Mani Singh. Another copy of the holy book which is 224-year-old was written using dyes made out of rock.
These three rare and antique versions of Guru Granth Sahib, brought from Maithan Sahib Gurudwara in Agra, are being taken around the country.
Speaking to Express, Head Granthi (head priest) Bhai Kashmir Singh of Gurdwara Maithan Sahib from Agra, expressed happiness that he witnessed a large number of devotees thronging the Gurudwaras.
Narrating the story on how these holy scriptures reached the Agra Gurudwara, he said that in 1913 at the time of World War-I the Indian Army (then British Indian Army) was called to join the fight. During that time, soldiers of the Sikh regiment of the Indian Army said they would not go to the battleground without taking Guru Granth Sahib along with them.
Therefore, the British government for the convenience of Sikh soldiers designed the holy book during the First World War and got 13 miniatures of Guru Granth Sahib printed from a press in Germany. Each of these was one inch in size and contained 1,430 pages, which were carried by the soldiers. The soldiers were given a special lens to read the holy book. "One of these is safely kept at Gurudwara Maithan Sahib in Agra," he said.
He said the 224-year-old holy book was made from rock dyes by two Muslim brothers in a timespan of five years seven months and three days and weighs around 28 to 30 kg.
The handwritten Guru Granth Sahib has few pages written using gold, ruby and sapphire.
The holy books are being taken to various places in the country to provide an opportunity for the Sikhs to learn about the history of their religion and the importance of the scripture.
"We brought these books to Hyderabad last week and were first displayed at Gurudwara Akalsar Sahib, Autonagar. Later, it was taken to Central Gurudwara Saheb Gowliguda, Gurudwara Saheb Ameerpet, Gurudwara, Guru Singh Sabha and Gurudwara Saheb Secunderabad on Sunday," he said.
The devotees on January 21, can visit Puratan Gurudwara Saheb Asha Singh Bagh, Sikh Chawni and Gurudwara Barambala Saheb, Sikh Chawniat on Jan.22," he added.

Tom Shannon (born June 23, 1947), is an American artist and inventor.

Personal life and education
Shannon was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to parents John Kingsley Shannon, a Marine pilot and inventor, and Audrey Elizabeth Shannon. He has two brothers, John and James. Shannon attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He received his MFA in 1971 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. On September 26, 1990 Shannon married Catherine Matisse Monnier, a great granddaughter of Henri Matisse and granddaughter of Marcel Duchamp. Shannon and his family live in New York City.

Career
Shannon's work incorporates scientific themes. Shannon built Squat, an interactive robotic sculpture at his father's battery manufacturing plant in the summer of 1966. Squat won the Pauline Palmer Prize at the Chicago Art Institute that year in a show juried by James Speyer and Walter Hopps.

Squat, made at 19 years old, was included in the landmark exhibition The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1969. It is considered a seminal work in robotic art. In 2019, "Squat" was restored under the direction of the artist by a team led by Robert Sieger, at Guardian Fine Art, Milwaukee, WI.  Restored, "Squat" was a key work of art in a June-August 2019 exhibition of international sculpture, curated by Laura Sims Peck, at The Warehouse, Milwaukee, WI.  The exhibition included work by twenty-one artists from twelve countries and three continents.  During the run of the exhibition, Shannon presented an overview of his work which was videoed, and is the core of a new documentary film being made on Shannon's work and career.

In 1981, the first of Shannon's large magnetically levitated sculptures, the seven-meter long Compass of Love, was exhibited in New York, then purchased by the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
The system of permanent magnets employed was designed by Shannon.

In 1983, Shannon patented and produced an edition of 20 World Clocks with the participation of Fuller and Sadao's cartography. An example is in the collection of the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the Smithsonian American History Museum.

Pontus Hulten, through the French Ministry of Culture, commissioned Shannon to make a major work for La Villette.  Shannon designed a 17-meter diameter spherical array of computer-controlled RGB LED nodes equidistantly spaced like atoms in a crystal, called The Crystal Ball.
.
In 1991, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm purchased Shannon's first room-sized magnetic array, Compass Moon Atom Room.

In 2000, Shannon commissioned Aerovironment to perform a feasibility study for Air Genie Video Airship.  A US Patent was granted 2003. Shannon was commissioned by the Grande Palais in Paris to make a movie of his Airlands project (aka Outlands) for a major millennial show covering ten thousand years of Visions of the Future.

His sculptures have since been included in international exhibitions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum, Moderna Museet, the Venice Biennale, the Sao Paulo Biennial, the Biennale de Lyon, the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Art Tower Mito and the Whitney Museum. He was a featured artist at the 2003 TED Conference where he presented Air Genie, a spherical helium airship whose entire surface is a LED video screen. He also presented a series of paintings made by a remote-controlled pendulum in another TED talk in 2009.

Sculpture
Shannon's work is idea driven. His subject matter is that of existential conditions, i.e., the forces, properties, characteristics, proportions, the web of sensations and knowledge of which we are a part. For example, Ray (1986) is a sculpture of the spheres of the Sun and Earth in proportion, and the cone of energy, gravity, electromagnetic, luminous, that connects the two.

Shannon makes magnetically levitated sculpture. The sculptures are suspended using permanent magnets. His series of suspended arrays includes room-filling three-dimensional crystalline arrangements of magnetic spheres each of which orient to Earth's magnetic field like a compass.

His recent work includes large outdoor sculptures which behave as weightless objects. The sculpture's internal mechanisms consisted of axles, ball-bearings, universal joints, ball & sockets, fulcrums and massive counterweights, give them the ability to spin, tilt, rise/fall and glide horizontally and eventually return to equilibrium.

Shannon designed the TED Prize, the Buckminster Fuller prize and the Trophee Jules Verne installed at the Musee de la Marine in Paris.

In November 2019, the Science Museum Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, OK opened a year-long exhibition of new and older work by Shannon entitled "Tom Shannon: Universe in the Mind | Mind in the Universe".  In the spring of 2020, 30-foot sculpture of Platonic solids will be installed at the entrance of the museum.

Paintings
Throughout his career Shannon has used several techniques for making paintings. At first he used traditional brush and ink (or watercolor or oil) to create paintings the subjects of which were typically projects he was working on or projects in a setting, such as a sculpture in a landscape.

Shannon then developed "Evaporations," a technique where aqueous paint was poured on a sheet of paper, and over time – a few days or weeks – the water would evaporate, leaving the pigment in dry "lakes" of color.  An important concept in this painting technique is that the pigment is held "in suspension", a color particle, as it were, "floating" in a fluid.  For Shannon, this was microscopic levitation, with a visual record of the pigment's "descent" onto a paper "ground".  It was also for him a way to co-author a painting with nature, a lesson learned from John Cage.

Another co-authoring with nature is Shannon's Trajectory series, where he tossed rubber balls wet with paint on inclined canvases, capturing the natural parabolic curve of the ball's path in gravity.

The Paint Pendulum paintings are made using a radio-controlled six color pendulum paint dispenser of the artist's invention. The pendulum paint dispenser, controlled by the artist, released paint in discrete drops, like a very large inkjet printer, or smooth flowing streams of color.

Recently in mid-2015, Shannon experimented with another painting format, which he calls Aerial Painting, where viewers can look at two-dimensional pattern on a canvas, which optically becomes a three-dimensional image, this without red and green glasses or other mechanical aids.  "Looking 'through' a painting is something you do naturally," said Shannon.  "It's the same as gazing at a distant horizon. Your brain re-orders space on the canvas, creating a natural 3D space, where objects hover in front and behind the canvas."  An example of this technique is the painting "Mind Expansion."  For Shannon this is another form of levitation, one of the recurring themes of his work.

Patents

Shannon holds patents for:
 first tactile telephone –  – Filed January 3, 1972
 a color television projector (w/ Walter De Maria, Maris Ambats) –  – Filed October 20, 1972
 a synchronous world clock  – Filed May 17, 1984 featuring a Fuller-Sadao map face, in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution
 double-reversible garments (w/ Caty Shannon)
 a Video Airship (Air Genie)[03].  – Filed May 29, 2002
 patents pending for Graphene Floating Spheres and Magnetic Linking System

Air Genie Video Airship

The Video Airship is an ongoing project which weaves together several themes in Shannon's work. In the late 60's Shannon proposed spherical televisions linked to orbiting camera satellites. Buckminster Fuller had earlier proposed a 200-ft sphere covered with lights to display Earth to the United Nations. Shannon designed a LED-covered spherical blimp with cameras that could land at school campuses and other public locations to deliver education and at night host rave dances. Aerovironment, Inc., the engineering firm founded by aeronautics legend Paul MacCready, found the design feasible; it can be aerodynamically controlled and can present clear computer video in daylight.

IQ Distribution in General Population
If we are to define the general population and their intellectual and cognitive abilities based on a free test online, we could give the reasoning that a score below 70 is considered to be a low IQ average score.
On the other hand, an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) Certified Score above 115 is considered an exceptional High IQ average. With an IQ certificate test score as high as 115, the individual may have the ability and the intelligence to seek any opportunity to achieve the highest level of education in any field and performance. But this advanced IQ Test score is valid for an average of 15% of the public.
Thus, if upon taking the available online IQ Tests on our IQ Exam platform and getting an individual official IQ scoring higher than 130, it is considered a genius and complete high-performance intelligence and cognitive ability. Based on research, only 2% of people in the general population can get a test report as advanced as that score! These individuals are considered to be "gifted" in their skills.
Find Your IQ Score Now >
Get Certificated after our Accurate Online IQ Test
We at IQ Exam provide 30 IQ intellectual questions that are pattern-based and will assess your Visual and Spatial reasoning Skill Abilities through a series of tests. Every question on this testing analysis is accurately designed to analyze an overall score of an individual's logical reasoning and cognitive abilities through reading the intelligent algorithm test on our free IQ test.
Each related question consists of a 3 by 3 matrix squares with a question mark on the last square. You would have to choose the best possible answer from the options given on the right answers.
A click on the multiple-choice will take you to the next question and the next until the cognitive ability intelligence test is completed, and you could receive your accurate online IQ Test and performance results certificate.
Through a few free IQ Test questions that are available online, you could get your very own Certified IQ Performance average, making it different from a classic IQ test. So, What are you waiting for? Do you want to know if you're part of a high IQ society? Let's Get Started.

Do you know if heat-friendly wigs tend to frizz? Do they last very long? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
They are more prone to styling damage; because they are marketed specifically to people who want to style their hair, you can see why this causes problems!
Human hair / heat-friendly blends are much better than heat-friendly synthetics on their own, and the combination has proven much more durable in our product tests.
We know that heat-friendly synthetics are the rage right now. At CysterWigs, we do not recommend them for everyday wear unless they are above the collar in the back at the nape.
NEVER use anything more finely-toothed than a wide-toothed comb on your heat-resistant synthetic wig!

The New Chicken Coop Rises And The Farm Comes to Life!
Finally! A Sunday Farm Update with some activity to report at the farm! The temperatures, although not "warm" – have at least begun to reach the 40's and 50's – so things are getting in full swing.
The new coop rises at the farm.
The new Chicken Coop emerges behind the old one. The original coop will have new life with my sister and brother in law once our is complete – as they raise a few chicks of their own.
Our 18 baby hens have outgrown the comfy surroundings of their brooder in the basement. Mary's vehicle once again is the loser in the deal – as the garage space now serves as a home for the chicks. We made a 4 x 8′ makeshift chick pen out of some left over 2 x 4's and chicken wire – and they seem to love the added room as they feather out. They turn 6 weeks old on Tuesday, which means they are just two weeks away from heading to the farm.
What does that means for us? It means we need to get the new coop complete! So this past week – it took center stage. We have taken some time in designing and constructing this one – building in some careful details we have learned from experience.
We finished up the foundation with a few hours of work here and there on nights throughout the week. It is made up of 5 inches of packed limestone dust, with 8″ of concrete filled cement block on top for the main foundation. We set anchor bolts in the concrete within the block to make sure the coop stays secure for years to come.
On Saturday – we were finally able to get building! We had pre-built the front and back walls way back in January – so they went up fast – as did the sides and rafters. By the end of a long day, the coop started to rise from the ground. To match the barn, we will use reclaimed windows and metal siding, along with a board and batten finish on the exterior. Weather permitting – we hope to have most of that completed by tonight. That leaves us about two weeks to finish the attached 10 x 12 covered run, and get things painted and stained.
With the recent issues of unwanted guests to our old coop – we have added a lot of extra security to the new coop design to hopefully eliminate any predators. We will be burying two staggered rolls of heavy-duty, close-knit welded wire fencing 12″ down in the ground and pouring in concrete to prevent digging in. The coop will also have mesh installed under the floor, and all of the walls will have a layer of sheathing behind the metal and board and batten exterior to prevent entry.
The bee hive after getting a second of 3 coats of stain.
The seedlings are up and growing strong – hopefully ready to put outside in a month or so.
The honey bee hive received a few coats of stain and is now complete and ready for the bees! Our official delivery date is April 19th – we can't wait for the hive to become full of activity and hopefully this fall – honey!
The seedlings we started indoors are really starting to take off. We keep our shop lights about 1 and 1/2 inches from the top of the plants to keep their growth strong and prevent them from getting spindly or leggy. It really works well with the ordinary shop lights, keeping the growth low and slow, and developing strong seedlings. They continue to get about 10 to 12 hours of artificial light each day.
With the temperatures expected to finally start climbing into the mid 60's this week – we are hoping to move them to the back porch soon to get them acclimated to natural daylight and daily temperature fluctuations. It's a great idea to get your plants used to the outside conditions a few weeks before planting time in the garden, a process called "hardening off". We usually will keep ours on the porch for the final two to three weeks – only covering them or bringing them in at night if there a threat of frost.

The outdoor life bekons this month.
Summer berries are waiting to be picked (blackberries, plums, apples, cherries etc) and if you have grown your own produce this is the time to pot, preserve and pickle it, so get cracking with this Green Tomato Chutney recipe which is lovely eaten with some lovely cheese and a glass of red wine or two!! on those Autumn evenings.
Whatever your reasons for preserving – whether you need to use up your home grown produce or market stall bargains or just maybe a keen cook – its wonderful to look back on your produce in jars for later use.
Its a luxury to eat and usually simple and cheap to make as most preserves comes from foraging the hedgerows, its amazing to think that a bit of sugar, salt and vinegar can make something really tasty!
Heat the oil in a preserving pan, then add the onions and let them gently soften for 10 mins. Add the garlic, spices and bay and cook for 5 mins more until fragrant. Tip in the tomatoes, apples and half the vinegar, then simmer for 15 mins or until the tomatoes and apples are soft. Add the rest of the vinegar, then the sugar, dried fruit and salt, and cook gently until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat a little, then bubble the chutney for about 1 hour 30 mins or until it is thick and jam like. When ready, you will be able to drag a line across the bottom of the pan without the chutney flooding back straight away. The timing can vary depending on the water content of the tomatoes. Remove the bay leaves before potting the hot chutney into hot, sterilised jars.


Here is a link to a save-state if anybody is interested..
I came across this issue today (on Vulkan). I tried playing around with settings and couldn't seem to nix it so I did a bit of revision-testing to see when this first popped up.
I've been encountering an issue with the second disc on Dolphin 5.0(x64). Basically at one point you fight a boss named Kalas, but as soon as you beat him, it crashes almost immediately after. Specifically a message box pops up, he has one line of dialogue, and then his wings are supposed to fade away, and cut to another camera shot. It basically freezes in the middle of the wings disappearing. The screen gets stuck and a single note keeps repeating.
I've updated to 5.0.9331 to see if it helped, but it did not. I double checked if something maybe went wrong with the dump, but the md5 hash says it should be fine. It's about the NTSC version specifically, but I some Googling tells me that the PAL version also suffered from this same issue at some point.

Did you ever find a solution for this? My game also crashes at this point.
Currently running version 5.0-9727. Tried multiple settings. Ran on two different PCs, but the game crashes at the same point.
Fixed the crash. Switched to an older Dolphin build, then transferred save.

What version did you switch to?
Please use savestates as little as possible. If your save file from the memory card can't be used in another version of Dolphin, that's a big problem.
Can you upload your save file? If it's PAL, maybe i could test this myself.
One thing i noticed is that Dolphin now forces cpu efb access to be disabled, while it used it for force it on in the past. At least some effect in the menus requires it. Could you load your save file and then enable efb efb access, while the game is running? I'm curious if that fixes the issue. Also make sure to run the game with dual core disabled, it's one of the games that is supposedly unstable with it on.

Thanks for your advices, it's not pal it's NTSC US.
- Unchecked "skip EFB access from CPU", then re-enabled it once the game was launched.
I'm having the same issue : the game crashes right after I defeat Kalas. I've tried what was said but it didn't work for me... I'm using version 5.0-9620 (x64) on Romstation 2.0, so I tried to use 5.0 instead, but i cannot use my save, it says it's corrupted... I can only use it with v. 5.0.
I've never used savestates, only the regular savepoints and it's a PAL game.

Vitalik Buterin is worried about Ethereum, here's how the community responds
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), recently expressed his concerns about Ethereum's future. However, attendees of the recent ETHDubai event voiced mixed sentiments over Buterin's talk on crypto's perils.
In an interview, Ethereum's founder pointed out some of his worries regarding the platform. This includes the platform being populated by players who are only after profit and deviate from the original vision of an egalitarian platform. "If we don't exercise our voice, the only things that get built are the things that are immediately profitable," Buterin said.
The recent ETHDubai event at Le Meridien Dubai.
Commenting on Buterin's woes, Sergej Kunz, the co-founder of 1inch Network, expressed that he disagrees highly with the Ethereum founder. Kunz said that while there are "scam projects" that try to get money from retail investors, there are also good projects who need really funding and that they can get that funding from venture capitals who are trying to make a profit. Citing 1inch as an example, Kunz explained that:
"We see angels and investors. They helped us. They gave us money to fully concentrate, to work on this startup. […] We work to improve the space, to create something unique and improve the whole financial system."
Following this, Aleksei Pupyshev, a developer at GTON Capital, believes that there should be a balance between profit and non-profit initiatives within the space. He thinks that while there are many projects supporting charity and solving health-related issues, rewards can motivate people to come into the industry.
"We need more motivation for people who are exploring, and they are exploring by investing."
On the other hand, Siva S, the CTO of Ozone, explained that the problem is tied to the growth of the platform. According to Siva, as the crypto ecosystem grows, more traditional finance players who are profit-focused will come in and want "some sort of control." However, he believes that as long as core concepts like consensus stay relevant, developers will still be happy to build on top of Ethereum.
Meanwhile, Raullen Chai, the co-founder of IoTeX, shares the same concerns as Buterin. According to Chai, he's also worried if the crypto pioneers can stick to their visions for their platforms. He explained:
"I do have the same concern here. I'm not sure if like the crypto OG folks can stick to their vision. I hope they could, and I don't see a fix for this problem, unfortunately."

Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum also expressed his belief in decentralization in a recent talk at the Binance Blockchain Week event. In his keynote speech, the Cardano founder said that "if you're just here to make money, you lose all the things that make the technology special."
