Leaving you with my favorite quote: "Where is your mountain and are you climbing it?" I feel so very lucky to have found my mountain, and while it may take me a lifetime to reach the summit, I'm on a mission that I love! If I can help any of you at any time, never hesitate to aks me.
Twitter buzz on Women's Day pretty interesting today: from acknowledging serious breakthroughs for women to jokes about Fat Tuesday.
@Susan Davis-Ali Thanks for being here and good luck with your mountain. I'm not thinking about my own, thanks to you!
Okay, so now I'm here officially (as opposed to earlier when I was just dropping in and out). Thanks to everyone who has gone before - quite a lot to think about.
So earlier we were talking about what feminism means and I wanted to share an anecdote from my 25th college reunion. I was asked to facilitate a dialogue on women's choices. We had approximately 30 women show up, all from my class of '77, and we just went around the room talking about the choices we had made in our lives. There was an incredible range of experience but the striking thing was the fact that every single woman in the room felt that they had failed in some way.
Some felt they had failed because they had a very successful career but no children, some felt they had failed because they chose to limit their career so they could be a presence in their children's lives, and some felt they had failed because they just couldn't do everything. But they all had regrets which I thought immensely sad.
@Katherine Govier fantastic! Complex characters are mysteries. Keeps me digging!
@Katherine - Earlier, you discussed the bounce back ability of men. Dr. Barbara Fredrickson did some great research on resiliency. She found that people with more connections, a stronger network, had exponentially more resilience. I believe women are great at building connections - the difference is that with the demands of family, they often don't have much opportunity to leverage outside relationships. Then add in the confidence piece you mentioned, and suddenly women don't come back to try again another day as they should.
@Laura From watching my mother struggle to "have it all," I think it's safe to say that it's a fallacy. I know I can have it all per se, maybe not all at once.
But what was it about 70s feminism that set us up for feeling that we failed the promise/dream?
And is there something deeper in there about how women defeat themselves?
I have to head out but the discussion is inspiring!
@Laura I think 70s feminism was about fighting oppression and sexism, whereas nowadays women CHOOSE to fit into a structure that makes it impossible to have everything at one time. Maybe we've accepted unrealistic goals.
@Terrine Do they choose or are they settling?
@Laura @Terrine Maybe part of the problem is trying to the terrible curse of comparison. All the other women around us seem to have it all - why don't we?
@Karen And why aren't we confident enough to recognize that everyone's experience is different?
I know I've made some choices in my life that others might not have made. I decided what was important to me and rearranged everything else around that. But it has been sometimes a bit of a hard road sometimes.
@Laura Yes! And confident enough to know that we can be happy with what we have. The US malaise of "not enough" has made us push ourselves for perfection - higher rates of stress, heart disease, use of cigarettes, plastic surgery - for who's image?
@Karen That was actually one of the things that came out of my reunion discussion. Most of the women had wonderful lives; why weren't they satisfied?
I bet it's been a hard road. But the important point is you made your decisions based on your priorities. We're allowed to own that.
@Karen I don't want it to sound like my road has been any harder than anyone else's. I was just lucky that I could really see what I cared about most.
One of the greatest things I've found in the past few years is gratitude. The majority of people in our country can be so grateful on a daily basis. And once we figure that out - women are wonderful at showing gratitude!
@Laura @Karen Rather, I think it's choosing to settle. And yes, part of the problem is comparison. If we keep up a facade of "having it all," why would anyone think we don't? It's perfectly okay to choose to be a homemaker or choose to head a multibillion-dollar corporation, if one so chooses, as long as one's happy.
Better late than never that the Feds have decided to focus on women. It is no surprise that women have surpassed men in education, health, etc. but continue to lag in financial status and wealth accumulation.
@Terrine Hear! Hear! In addition to figuring out MY priorities, rather than someone else's, has been the fine skill of saying, "No." Ironic that the improv woman (my company nickname is Yes! Girl, since all improv is built on the tenet of agreement) has found boundaries so useful!
@Terrine I agree that one's choices should be conscious choices. This again leads us back to the confidence thing: one has to trust oneself and just DECIDE!
@Melissa What are the Feds doing about it?
@Melissa @Laura Recently the SBA published its Final Rule which identifies 83 industries in which women contractors are seriously underrepresented. This is 11 years after the passage of the Women's Procurement Program, and women business owners have long awaited the full implementation of the law which enables women-owned businesses to receive 5% of federal procurement dollars.
@Karen Are women underrepresented in these industries because of training or because the business opportunities aren't there for them?
@Laura @Karen The report highlights the issues and key data points. At this point there are no specific policy recommendations. My sense is the next set of publications will be issued at an agency level with specific programs and policies...I hope.
@Laura @Melissa I hope so too! To answer your question, the underrepresentation is for women-owned businesses. The huge majority of federal contracts go to male-owned businesses. NAWBO (National Assn. of Women Business Owners), the SBA and other groups are working to balance that a little.
Women are at the forefront of peace efforts. Despite the inherent risks and difficulties they face and endure, women - individually, in groups and in formal organizations - demonstrate extraordinary resilience and commitment to sustaining peace and normalcy in crisis settings. They are active leaders and often the first group of stakeholders to publicly demand a space in peace negotiations and reconciliation efforts. With limited resources, they seek to work with both state and non-state actors to build awareness and understanding of human rights, protection of civilians and participate in peace processes. However, time and again, women's daily contributions to peace – both politically and in the humanitarian sphere, their stories of survival and protection of more vulnerable people (the young, the elderly and the sick) – are ignored.
UN Security Council Resolution 1325 is rooted in the premise that women's participation in and contributions to the peace-building processes will improve the chances of attaining viable and sustainable peace. It is also rooted in the knowledge that gender equality itself is a source of sustainable peace. This resolution acknowledges that VAW is a gross violation and threat to peace and security.
UNFPA adopts multi-sectoral, holistic approaches to address women, peace and security issues, to combat various forms of violence and in establishment of systems for coordination of response efforts. Furthermore, UNFPA addresses the impact of war and conflict on women and recognizes the need to develop leadership capabilities of women to contribute to conflict prevention as well as conflict resolution and sustainable peace efforts. UNFPA's programme activities under Security Council Resolution 1325, 1820 and the other 3 related Resolutions take place in both humanitarian, post-conflict and development settings under the themes of Prevention, Protection, Participation, Data Collection and Analysis and Development of Institutional Capacities. UNFPA will continue to expand its partnership with country's governments and civil society to realize the goals as stated under SCR 1325 and the related Resolutions. Our contributions in this area are a major part of our leading role within the UN System in line with our commitment on achieving the MDGs, the ICPD and Beijing Conference goals, and various international human rights instruments.
@Karen How much of this underrepresentation would you attribute to the lack of access to capital?
Picking up from Kathy Taylor's statement: we had the Afghan ambassador at Thomson Reuters in New York last year and he spoke at length about his belief that helping women create and sustain businesses would lead to a more stable Afghanistan.
@melissa - Excellent question - the numbers are improving, with some banks, like Key Bank and AmEx creating programs with real dollars to specifically provide capital to women. That's going to be critical once the government does create set-asides - the businesses have to be able to handle and succeed at the contracts!
@Katherine Govier You make an interesting point. Some years ago I was in a women's group (outside the company) and it seemed like all we did was get together to cry on each other's shoulders. Perhaps we should have been exhorting each other to "build a bridge and get over it".
One area in which women nee to insert themselves is editing en.wikipedia.org and other areas of Wikipedia. This is something we can do for ourselves, keeping a vigilant eye on how women are represented in open, free sources of information. I did not realize, until recently, that there are few women editors of Wikipedia. The Wikipedia platform can be challenging to edit, but if we each take even half an hour a month to ensure women's issues, and women's biographies are documented from our viewpoint, it would meke a big difference.

Opioid Use Increases Risk of Fatality in Motor Vehicle Accidents
Sara E. Teller — May 2, 2019
Photo by Karsten Würth (@inf1783) on Unsplash
Research finds driving under the influence of opioids increases the risk for fatal crashes.
New research published this month in the journal JAMA Network Open sought to "assess the association between driver use of prescription opioids and the risk of being culpable of crash initiation in fatal 2-vehicle crashes," and revealed that drivers who are on prescribed opioids are "twice as likely to be in deadly two-vehicle accidents than those not using the drugs." The authors contend, "As the United States struggles with an opioid epidemic, these findings could affect health care providers' decision-making processes."
Statistics from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that "although the rate of opioids prescribed per 100 people decreased from 72.4% to 66.5% from 2006 to 2016, 214 million opioid prescriptions are issued to patients each year."
Study author Dr. Guohua Li, a professor of epidemiology and anesthesiology and the founding director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Prevention at Columbia University, said he and co-author Stanford Chihuri, a staff associate in Columbia's Department of Anesthesiology, were motivated to take on this research because "the ongoing opioid epidemic has spilled over to the nation's roadways, with deadly consequences."
For the study, the researchers used data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, which contains records from throughout the United States on motor vehicle crashes with at least one death within thirty days of the accident. This data is based on "driver-related factors," the unsafe actions leading to crashes. A driver with at least one driving error resulting in that fatal crash is "the crash initiator."
The researchers used this data to measure which drivers were at fault for crashes and toxicology results to look for the presence of opioids in the driver's blood stream. After scanning through the data related to 18,321 driver pairs who died in two-vehicle accidents between 1993 and 2016, Li and Chihuri found that 54.7% of deceased drivers who tested positive for prescribed opioids crashed because "they were unable to stay in their lane. Additionally, more crash initiators overall tested positive for prescribed opioids, alcohol or both than those who were not initiators."
Opioids can impair drivers by causing them to be too dizzy or sedated to be behind the wheel of a vehicle. They cause individuals to be less alert and to have slower reaction times. The medications often include warning labels urging users to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking them.
There are a couple of limitations to the authors study. Those who tested positive for opioid use were not necessarily impaired, and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System does not record the dosage amounts of opioids or alcohol.
The researchers also conducted a previous study that revealed before the onset of the opioid epidemic in the 1990s, opioid use was responsible for only about 1% of driver deaths in motor vehicle accidents in the United States. As use increased, the number of fatal accidents spiked to at least 7%. "To reverse this trend and ensure that patients do not fall victim to driving under the influence, education and collaboration between patients and clinicians is necessary," the researchers state.

Q: Issues laying out custom UITableViewCell I've created a UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell from a NIB. On loading the view controller, everything seems to work fine. But when I start to scroll the UITableView, there are cases where an empty cell appears in the middle for no reason atall.
I dont know what's happening. My cellForRowAtIndexPath is quite straightforward. But I've added gestures to the custom UITableViewCell. Could that be causing a problem?
Here my code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *tableIdentifier = @"FTStreamCell";
    FTStreamCell *cell = (FTStreamCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:tableIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil)
        {
            NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"FTStreamCell" owner:self options:nil];
            cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
        }
        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
        cell.delegate = self;
        return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    FTStreamCell *streamCell = (FTStreamCell*) cell;
    if (!indexPath.section == 0)
    {
        if ((NSNull*)[[[self.cachedData objectForKey:kQuestions] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:kQuestion] != [NSNull null])
            streamCell.question.text = [[[self.cachedData objectForKey:kQuestions] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:kQuestion];
        streamCell.timePosted.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Today at Bangalore, India"];
        // To Show My Questions
        NSLog(@"Me %d", [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:kUserId] integerValue]);
        if ([[[self.cachedData objectForKey:kQuestions] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:kUserId] == [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:kUserId])
        {
            streamCell.mainView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:244.0f/255.0f green:240.0f/255.0f blue:247.0f/255.0f alpha:1];
            streamCell.userCheck = YES;
        }
        else
        {
            streamCell.mainView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0f/255.0f green:255.0f/255.0f blue:255.0f/255.0f alpha:1];
            streamCell.userCheck = NO;
        }
        [cell layoutSubviews];
    }
}

Thanks.

A: UITableViews reuse table cells to reduce memory allocation. So when you begin to scroll the 'white cell' is likely a cell that was previously used and modified before. In the willDisplayCell method try 'resetting' the cell before applying your stylistic changes. The 'reset' will be a custom method of yours that changes everything back to their defaults within the cell.

Olli is helping autonomous vehicles become more accessible
The creators of the autonomous shuttle started a design challenge to make sure everyone can get a ride.

Local Motors, which has a plant in National Harbor, Md., is collaborating with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and IBM to run a yearlong campaign to make autonomous shuttle Olli more accessible. The effort made an appearance at a DecodeDC event last week.
Olli has already gained a lot of attention since it started traversing the streets of D.C. in 2016 just for being a self-driving, 3D printed vehicle.
Since the beginning of this year, Local Motors has been collaborating with designers online and through hackathons to be sure that the next version of Olli will be accessible for those with physical or cognitive disabilities. The goal is to debut the technology at the CES tradeshow in 2018.
Is it Friday yet? Olli is ready to party. #MeetOlli #FridayEve #HappyThursday pic.twitter.com/fitKHHSaCK
— Local Motors (@localmotors) September 28, 2017
When the #AccessibleOlli effort launched, the groups announced a series of nine hackathons in different cities across the U.S. Local Motors and its other collaborators also broadened the scope of the crowdsourcing project by setting up an active online message board for the project that challenged users to compete to come up with the best plans for the new version of Olli.
The winners for this Autonomous for All of Us contest were announced on September 21. The best overall entry was a concept that allowed users to request the features that they needed from Olli via a smartphone app, then used AI to rearrange the features in the bus as it was en-route to pick passengers up, according to the competition's website.
The project comes out of a study done by the CTA that states that over a billion people in the world today are already living with some sort of a disability, and by 2050 people over 60 will account for almost a quarter of the world population. IBM is also contributing to this project by integrating the technology that it uses for Watson Internet of Things into the #AccessibleOlli design. The demand for accessible transportation is already here, and will only continue to grow in the future. Initiatives like Accessible Olli are a step toward trying to meet that demand.

Definition: A retirement plan for employees that allows them to put part oftheir pre-tax salary in an account. The funds may not be withdrawnuntil employees retire without paying a penalty.
401(k) plans take their name from the section of the federal tax code that provides for them. These plans let employees set aside a percentage of salary tax-free every year. As a kicker, the funds grow tax-free until they are withdrawn. 401(k) plans are very popular benefits with employees because they allow employers to essentially pay workers more without that income being taxed. 401(k) plans are quite popular with employers because most of the contribution comes from the employees and not the company.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) governs the way 401(k) plans are set up and managed. There are many responsibilities that go along with setting up a 401(k) plan. For instance, employers must determine the investment options employees will get to choose from and monitor the investments' performance as well as the service provided by whomever is administering the plan. ERISA exists to make sure any fees charged for the plan are "reasonable."
You can learn more about 401(k) plans at the Department of Labor's Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration website.

Charli XCX may be prepping Sucker with a ton of party-starting pop tracks, but her contribution to the Lorde-curated soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Pt. 1 is decidedly lower key - built up on a trilly piano line that sounds straight out of Versailles, it's a charmingly baroque ballad. It also benefits from a lovely, anthemic verse from Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, whose iconic voice leads us out.

Q: admin bar disappears completely in 2010 theme I've installed a plugin to upload local avatars through a front end form to edit user profiles provided by another plugin (user frontend). While the upload and modification of the db seems to work just fine, clicking the update button of the form does apparently lead to the WP 3.1 admin bar no longer being rendered for some unexplicable reason. There's simply no $wp_admin_bar object being created. I have no idea what could possibly cause this, but I have also no idea how to activate the admin bar if the default init function fails.
Does anyone have an idea for me?
Thanks!

A: And I found the solution via another unrelated admin bar question.
If anyone ever comes across this problem with the user_frontend plugin or any other plugin posting data from a custom form - apparently WP unchecks the two admin bar related check boxes if a set of data is sent to update the user profile that does not include the check box values. Accordingly, WP dutifully didn't render the admin bar while I was logged in.
I've contacted the plugin author to look into this.

Maddie Buttinger ('12, track) Wins Canadian Heptathlon Title At IAAF World Combined Event Capital Cup Challenge
Former University of Notre Dame track & field standout Maddie Buttinger ('12) last weekend won her first Canadian senior women's heptathlon title. The event, held at Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney's Bay in Ottawa, also served as the Canadian Junior Combined Events Championships, and is part of the 2015 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Combined Events Challenge Series.
Buttinger, who competes for the University of Toronto Track Club, posted a score of 5,643 to earn the bronze medal in the IAAF World Combined Events Capital Cup Challenge.
"It has been seven years since winning the Canadian junior heptathlon title, and after battling through injuries I am excited to win my first Canadian senior heptathlon title," Buttinger said. "It helps to affirm that all my hard work and support I have received from my family, friends and employer, Deloitte Canada, is making me stronger and a better athlete. I had a couple of great days competing and it was a really good opportunity to compete against such a strong field of world class athletes at such a well run event. I feel confident that even better results are just around the corner. I am looking forward to my next competition to compete for Canada."
In the heptathlon championship, Buttinger was in third place with 3,358 points after four events during the first day of the competition. She registered a 100-meter hurdle time of 14.56 seconds (901 points), a high jump of 1.71 meters (867 points), a shot put of 12.75 meters (711 points) and a 200-meter run of 25.08 seconds (879 points).
On the second and final day of the competition, Buttinger put together three strong events to secure the heptathlon title. Her long jump of 5.89 meters (816 points) was the second-best score of the competition, while her javelin throw of 37.27 meters (615 points) moved her up to second place in the heptathlon standings.
Buttinger was in sixth place overall heading into the final event and trailed Jillian Drouin by 22 points for second place on the Canadian side. In the last event, the 800 meters, Buttinger won the elite heat in a time of 2:17.77 (854 points) to secure the Canadian heptathlon title and earn the IAAF Capital Cup bronze medal.

The Preferred Rate Program(PRP) is designed to help facilitate healthier and more active lifestyle for Memorial employees and retirees and to promote better use of the campus recreation facilities.
Full-time, part-time, permanent or contractual Memorial University employees who are eligible to participate in the University's group benefits plan can participate in the PRP.
Retirees automatically receive a 50% discount offered by The Works for Field House memberships and therefore are not eligible for the additional PRP subsidy for Field House Memberships. Retirees who join the Aquarena are eligible to participate in the PRP since they do not receive a 50% automatic discount. Employees of Memorial's SIEs are not eligible to participate in this program.
Membership options can include access to the Aquarena Fitness Centre, with over 100 pieces of equipment, Aquarena & UN swimming pools, saunas, hot tub and members only change rooms.
Other memberships can include access to The Workout in the Field House, fitness classes, indoor track, MUN swimming pool, squash courts, basketball and other sport courts.
How do you get started in the PRP?
To apply for the PRP, employees must complete a PRP application form at The Works.
Applications must be processed at the Lower Level Fitness Centre at the Aquarena for Aquarena memberships or a the Field House Customer Service Centre for Field House memberships. Employees and retirees can join the PRP at any time during the year.


The Guest is a first person adventure set in the Oak Wood Hotel in Massachusetts. You play as scientist Evgueni Leonov, in town to speak at a conference, but the game starts with you waking up in the hotel with no memory of the preceding events. You must explore your surroundings and solve puzzles in order to escape.
Find a suitcase beneath the window and take the travel tag from on top. Look just down to the left and pick up a valve. Next head to the nearby bedside table and turn on the lamp, then examine the pill bottle. Take the cigarette from on top of the table. Take the box of cigarettes from the ground here, and the bible from inside the drawer. Go along the wall near the window and take the boarding pass and pencil from on top of a low cupboard. Try to turn on the lamp here, but there is no bulb.
Go across the room and pick up an empty cigarette lighter from beneath the bench at the end of the bed. Continue to a low coffee table and take the envelope, and read the two pages of the letter. Examine the door to see there is no doorknob. Proceed to the other bedside table and open the drawer to find a torn piece of paper to take. Also take the magazine from the bottom of the table, a the doorknob from under the corner of the bed here.
Turn right and search the left cupboard to get a light bulb and a coat hanger, then open the left top drawer and take a document about electrical wiring. Open the right cupboard and click on the bulb to turn it on. There is a combination lock on a toolbox here, but you don't know the combination yet. Search the drawers as well but there is nothing to find.
Go back across the room to the lamp with no bulb and use your bulb on it, then turn it on. Look down into a box to the left and take the torn piece of paper and 1V battery. In your inventory, combine the 2 torn pieces of paper, then look at your new item to see "Toolbox: 503". Go back to the combination lock in the cupboard and set it to 503. Open the toolbox and take the screwdriver from inside. Now attach your doorknob to the door and secure it using your screwdriver. Open the door and flip the light switch inside to the right.
Turn right and open the first-aid cabinet on the wall. Pick up the tablets and consume them to end your hallucination. Also take 2 boxes of bandaids and some isopropyl alcohol from the top shelf. Turn left and open a cupboard door to see a whole heap of switches - leave these alone for now. Open the top drawer and take a straight razor from inside. Open the bottom drawer and read a newspaper clipping. The cupboard just to the left is locked. Look at the left basin and take the soap, shampoo and body gel. Look down here and find some pliers behind the toilet paper. Turn left and take 2 more coat hangers from the shower rail.
Use your pliers on one of your coat hangers to make a lock pick, then use this to pick the lock on the cupboard. Open the cupboard and turn on the light. Read the note here, then take the 20V battery. Pull the switch here and you will here a noise back in the bedroom. Turn around and open the bathroom door, then go through.
There is not much new here except that you can now open a large sliding door opposite the bed and go out.
This works because (25) + (2 x 6) + (3 x 21) = 100. Now go and turn on the light switch near the bedroom door to be able to see your surroundings. Search the bureau along this wall and you will find a plate, another note to read, and another valve. Go over towards the record player and open the cupboard beneath. Take the vinyl, then put it on the record player and turn it on (turn it off if you don't like the music). You can also find a 2nd ring in this cupboard. Read the items in the folder on the dining table, and note that there is a locked trapdoor in the table itself. Now search the long sideboard drawers to find another newspaper article to read. There is a strange glowing 3-part lock on the front of the sideboard that you cannot open yet. Take the "Do not disturb" sign from on top of the sideboard.
Proceed into the next part of this room and turn on 2 more light switches. There is a heavy looking stone device that elicits the comment "looks like something fits in here" on the right. Search the adjacent tall cupboard to find a 3rd valve and a statue of a man's body. Take a tray from the small table to the left, and read a welcome message in a small book. The door here is locked, and there is a red box with a flashing light next to it. Continue around the room to find a low coffee table; read a timetable in a folder here, and take a coaster and another cigarette. You can turn on the TV if you like, but there is only static (and an occasional face), so turn it off again. Open the cupboard beneath to find another magazine to take, and look at the stack of boxes down on the left to discover a book with a phone number inside: 48-151.
Go back to the bedroom and use the phone on the right bedside table to dial the number 48-151 (be careful, the 5 and 6 are not in their normal locations). You will hear a message saying the table trapdoor has been unlocked, so leave the room again.
Go to the dining table and open the trapdoor to reveal a movie projector. Now examine the glowing 3-part lock. Insert your three valves according to the symbols on their ends, then solve the puzzle by turning each of the valves so their lit section is at the 12 o'clock position (this will take some trial and error). Open the right lower cupboard and take the orientation film, then take a message with another phone number: 01-138. Open the left lower cupboard to see a message and another puzzle. You will remember seeing half of this pattern previously as fluorescent paint on the wall, so you can already set the right discs from top to bottom to be red, blue and yellow. You still need to find the other half of the combination.
Put your film in the projector, then use the projector to watch the film - it will end by leaving another puzzle clue displaying on the screen.
Go back to the bedroom and use the phone again, this time dialling the number 01-138. Now open the drawer, pick up the tablets and consume them to end another hallucination.
You will be back in the first part of the living room, but it will have changed. Go through the doorway at the end into the bright light.
Walk along the wooden hallways through a series of small rooms. You can choose to go through either gateway each time, and it will not affect your actual path. You will eventually reach a door with the writing "We are science", and if you continue to follow the path you will seem to go around in circles. Just keep going and eventually you can click on a spinning object on a desk to return.
Pick up the strange object from the coffee table. Combine this with the 2 rings in your inventory, then use this combination on the heavy looking stone device on the nearby red platform. First spin the two rings into position (the one with the circle should be facing you and be vertically-aligned, and the other horizontally aligned with its more complex half on the right side). Next spin the polyhedron and try each of the rectangular faces until one completes the pattern correctly; a combination safe will be displayed, requiring an 8-letter word.
Turn all the lights off in here and look around to see another pattern in fluorescent paint on the wall.
Go to the lower left cupboard beneath the movie screen and you can now set the left discs from top to bottom to be blue, blue and red. Now use the message displayed on the movie screen and the decoder wheel here to generate the message "DYSTOPIA". Go and enter this word on the combination safe and then open it. Take the handle from inside and read another newspaper article. Go to the cupboard just to the left and open the lid of the small box, then insert the handle and use it.
Head to the door just to the left and the red box will now have a green flashing light. Open the box and examine the panel inside. Listen carefully to the repeating music pattern that is playing. You need to recreate the music by pressing the 6 buttons in the correct order; this is different each time. Open the door and go through.
Search the desk to find some glasses, lighter fluid and a magazine. Read the documents and another note. There is a world globe here as well as a typewriter. Flip the switch on the wall, and another doorway will open. Before going through, combine the lighter fluid with your lighter, then use this on the 2 lamps here. Pick up the cryptex from the bottom of the bookshelf, then go through the new door to a more modern area.
Go to the desk and read the documents. Take the pen from the desk. Pick up an ID card from the chair and insert it into the card reader on the left of the desk, and the computer will prompt you for a password. As suggested on the doorway leading here, enter the exact time of your log in, which was 4:23. This will turn on the security cameras throughout the complex.
Take the R key for the typewriter.
Use the R key to complete the keyboard on the typewriter. Now look at the 3 magazines you have collected; the circled letters on the covers spell a word: "BENEFACTOR". Type this on the typewriter, then turn to the right. Go down the new corridor and look at the large dial. This is asking for your Exodus and Arrival coordinates. Have a look at the boarding pass in your inventory: you came from VOG (Volgograd) and arrived in BOS (Boston). Go to the globe in the previous room and find these two locations on the globe to get their coordinates. Come back to the large dial and move the outer marker to 5N, and the inner marker to 8E. Enter these coordinates, and the central indicator will now highlight "Arrival". Move the outer marker to 4N, and the inner marker to 12W. Enter these coordinates. Listen to the recorded message, then follow the lights on the ceiling to return to the living room and go through the new door.
In your final location, you will discover your new ID badge, a never-ending supply of pills, a recorded message, and a confession booth.


Who'd accept thought? Such a violation, of that angelic site, that cairn to fairness.
And it's not candid that I'm on about, but the BBC and the day I begin them ball-tampering. Not literally, of course. I didn't glimpse chicken adhesive band in the far bend of the TV screen. I beggarly fact-tampering (same thing), and it occurred on April 2 nd aback the BBC's acclaimed adherence to accuracy fled the arena during a doentary on the Commonwealth.
The one-off special, Lenny Henry: The Commonwealth Kid (BBC1), a adventure by the accepted British banana beyond Antigua, Barbuda and Jamaica was absolutely adequately impressive, and moving. But it larboard me nostalgic, not for my Caribbean childhood, admirable admitting that was, but for those ly, bewitched canicule aback BBC Absolute programmes were in fact, factual.
I don't accusation Sir Lenny.
He is amenable for the best bits, those spent in Jamaica, his affiliated home. There he explored, with affecting candour, his family's apprehensive past, the aisle of bullwork and a active avant-garde Jamaica, all through the prism of the Commonwealth which enabled his parents' move to Britain in the 1950's and "made me who I am" (hence Commonwealth Kid).
Jamaica abutting the Commonwealth in 1962 afterwards ability from Britain. Lenny Henry's parents confused to the UK in 1957. He was built-in a year later. I attempt to see how his parents were allotment of a anew formed Commonwealth as he declares in the aperture frame.
And anew formed? The Commonwealth clearly came into being, by statute, in 1931, its appearance categorical alike further back, in the Balfour Declaration of 1926 which accounted the UK and it's again Dominions: "autonomous Communities….equal in status….freely ociated as ociates of the British Commonwealth of Nations." As I advised my puzzlement, forth came addition clanger: Jamaicans were advantaged to achieve in the UK because of a aberrant affair accepted as the Commonwealth.
These actual inaccuracies bolstered what appeared to be, beyond the show, a iduous affirmation on a causal articulation amid the family's clearing and the Commonwealth.
And they were advantaged to achieve in the UK alike afore the Commonwealth was formed, not because of a aberrant affair accepted as the Commonwealth. That appropriate had alone been codification (not created) by a new Act of Parliament: The British Allegiance Act, 1948.
"Citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies: for the United Kingdom and non-independent countries." (CUKC's). That activated to Jamaica, still a antecedents until 1962.
Another accouterment of the Act accompanying to the Commonwealth and accepted British allegiance to: "Citizens of the Independent Commonwealth Countries." (CICC's).
Back bound to anew formed. In 1949 the British Commonwealth of Nations, no best fabricated up of abundantly British bearing with the entry, afterwards independence, of India and Pakistan (1947) and Sri Lanka (1948), became known, by the 1949 London Declaration, as the Commonwealth of Nations, or just, the Commonwealth. It is sometimes referred to as the New Commonwealth to yze it from the "Old" or "White" version. It wasn't anew formed at the point Sir Lenny's parents migrated but adequately afresh "transformed," as the backward Indian historian Bimal Prasad declared it in Nehru and the New Commonwealth (1983), from a "club of white Anglo-Saxon nations and a barrier of British imperialism in various parts of the world" into a "multiracial" eny.
Which, incidentally, mirrored the transformation of British ociation afterwards 1948.
Between 1948 and 1962 some 500,000 non-whites acclimatized their acknowledged appropriate to British allegiance and confused to the UK (mostly from India), always alteration the British indigenous landscape. By 1961 the cardinal of UK-born accouchement of West Indian parents had developed from ZERO in 1951, according to the UK census, to 26,000. Lenny Henry was one of those 26,000, built-in to parents from Caribbean colonies, not the Commonwealth, which makes the appellation of the show: Lenny Henry: The Commonwealth Kid, a bit, well….unfortunate.
But it's the facts I feel apologetic for.

A Way-Too-Early Look at the 2019 UTEP NFL Pro Day
Adrian Broaddus
Adrian Broaddus Published: November 26, 2018
Matthew Metz
On Saturday, 16 Miners played their final game for the program in their 39-7 loss to Southern Miss, which means the now-former players will turn their focus toward hopes of playing in the NFL.
Although head coach Dana Dimel has not set a definite date for UTEP's pro day, where NFL scouts can come to the Sun Bowl and see prospects running drills, Dimel envisions success for some of his former players that will go off to the NFL.
"I don't ever want to write anyone off. I think all our seniors have a good chance to play," Dimel said. "There's three or four prospects that have been heavily talked about and looked at that a lot of pro teams like. You never know in the NFL though."
Those "three or four prospects" probably include linebacker A.J. Hotchkins, fullback Winston Dimel, cornerback Nik Needham and defensive back Kahani Smith. Others that are likely to throw their names out to pro scouts include defensive back Kalon Beverly, offensive lineman Jerrod Brooks, wideout Warren Redix, tight end David Lucero, linebacker Jamar Smith and defensive end Mike Sota, defensive tackle C.J. Reese, among others.
Following the Southern Miss game, Dimel also said that quarterback Ryan Metz might make an attempt to try out for pro scouts. Metz was not able to finish the season at quarterback after sustaining his fifth concussion of his college years.
Hotchkins put together one of the best breakthrough years he could have in his final season of eligibility. The linebacker finished atop C-USA in total tackles (126), tied with Florida International's Sage Lewis. He also finished tied 10th overall in FBS for total tackles.
Needham and Beverly combined for 55 pass deflections through their respective careers. Needham set the UTEP football program record with 33 career pass breakups, while Beverly led the team with two interceptions this season. Smith finished with a team-high 10 pass deflections on the season.
Although Dimel's football season with the Miners was also cut short due to a shoulder injury, Dimel will enter the 2019 NFL Draft as the No. 5 overall fullback in the nation, according to Walter Payton's draft projections. Dimel will have a chance to increase his draft stock with a hopeful Senior Bowl invitation and a chance at a possible combine invite. He was named 2017 All-Big 12 second team, and 2015 and 2016 All-Big 12 first team with 22 career tackles.
For now, players like Beverly, Hotchkins and Jamar Smith all said following the Southern Miss game that they will start training rigorously for a chance at the NFL, with the other graduating players likely to follow in the same footsteps.

Photographer chronicles Arizona ranchers for Centennial project
Posted on August 24, 2011 by az100
Posted: Wednesday, August 3, 2011 4:00 am
Photographer Scott Baxter has spent the better part of 10 years in a marathon photo shoot capturing an essential, yet all-too-quickly disappearing slice of Arizona history: the men, women and families who have worked Arizona ranches for 100 years or more.
Baxter – a horseman, fly fisherman and history buff as well as a respected professional commercial photographer – is compiling the large-format, black-and-white portraits into a book, "100 Years, 100 Ranchers," that will be published to coincide with the Arizona Centennial in February 2012.
The project has been designated as an official Centennial Legacy Project.
The project began innocently enough in 1999 during a fly fishing trip on a ranch near Springerville, where Baxter met Arizona rancher Wink Crigler, whose grandmother, Arizona pioneer Molly Butler, established the guest lodge in Greer in 1902 that still carries her name.
Crigler and her sister, Sug Peters, introduced Baxter to another Arizona pioneering family. Baxter's stark image of Sam Udall checking fences on a snowy day near the Sunrise Ski Resort turned into the impetus for the project. The photo of Udall is now the centerpiece of the "100 Years, 100 Ranchers" headquarters in a 1920s adobe home at the base of Camelback Mountain donated to the project by John LaPrade of Montana's Bitterroot Valley.
"The ranching heritage and tradition in Arizona are quickly going away," Baxter says. "In 2000 or 2001 I come up with the idea to shoot 100 people for the centennial. Over the first four or five years, I shot about a dozen people."
As Baxter met, talked with and photographed more ranchers, they introduced him to others.
"Everywhere I'd go, the ranchers would feed me and put me up and tell me stories," he said. "As someone who loves history, especially the history of Arizona, I've been overwhelmed."
His images show the faces of deep-rooted Arizona families with names like Bayless, Perkins, Udall, Riggs, Ronstadt and Hays, and his subjects range from 35-year-old Andy Smallhouse of the historic Carlink Ranch north of Benson to 95-year-old Ken Chilton at the Diamond Bell Ranch (part of the Chilton Cattle Company) southwest of Tucson. Smallhouse was 25 years old when he took over the ranch after the untimely death of his father.
Along the way, Baxter has covered thousands of miles of every type of road, sleeping at times in the back of the four trucks he's used, today a Ford F-250 diesel with 205,000 miles. He had to give up Toyotas because he got tired of the ribbing by the ranchers.
The unfinished project has been profiled in Arizona Highways, which will publish one image a month through the Centennial, American Cowboy magazine.
The images are being processed and printed at Cattle Track Art Compound in Scottsdale, which also prints images by Pulitzer Prize nominated cowboy photographer Jay Dusard.
"I'm still looking for about 10 more people to photograph, but I'm very close," Baxter said.

LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Henry IV Part 2, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
In the palace in London, King Henry IV lies sick in bed. He asks his son Humphrey Duke of Gloucester about Prince Hal and Humphrey replies that Hal is out hunting. The king then asks his other son Thomas Duke of Clarence why he isn't accompanying his brother Hal. Prince Hal, Thomas admits, is accompanied by Poins and his tavern pals. Hearing this, the king grows enraged, furious at his son's lowlife company and despairing over England's inevitable ruin once it is ruled by Prince Hal. Warwick pipes up to defend Hal, explaining that the king underestimates his son, that the prince associates with lowlife scoundrels simply to study them and thus prepare to be a better ruler. King Henry IV is unconvinced by Warwick's claims.
King Henry IV's ailing and diseased body focuses the theme and symbol of Disease. The king and Warwick have opposite perspectives on Prince Hal's right to the throne. For the king, Prince Hal's behavior automatically renders him unworthy of the crown. For Warwick, Prince Hal's admittedly un-royal behavior could in fact be part of a perfectly defensible ruling strategy.
Westmoreland arrives and conveys the news of Lancaster's victory over the Archbishop, Mowbray, and Hastings. Harcourt arrives and conveys the news that Northumberland and Lord Bardolph have been defeated too. King Henry IV wonders "wherefore should these good news make me sick?...I should rejoice now at this happy news" but "am much ill," and faints.
If it seemed possible that King Henry IV's disease was simply due to stress about his kingdom, there is no possibility of such an explanation now. Even after hearing that his throne is safe, the king's body continues to sicken.
As King Henry IV lies unconscious, Clarence and Gloucester discuss the grim omens that have plagued the kingdom recently: babies conceived without fathers or born horribly deformed; erratic seasons and weather; flooding rivers. "The old folk, time's doting chronicles," say that the last time the land was riddled with such omens was when the princes' great-grandfather King Edward died. King Henry IV regains consciousness and is carried to bed.
The truth or falsity of omens remains an ongoing question (and symbol) in the play. Whereas Falstaff described the old as lying fools, the princes describe the old as venerable historians.
Prince Hal enters and, hearing King Henry IV is bedridden, says he'll sit with his father while his father sleeps. Clarence, Gloucester, and Warwick leave the two of them along. Seeing the crown lying on the pillow beside his father, Hal calls it "polished perturbation, golden care" that prevents the king from ever sleeping as soundly as a lowly commoner. Noticing that a feather by his father's mouth isn't moving, Prince Hal assumes his father is dead and says that he owes his father grief and tears, which his filial love will pay in plenty. His father, in turn, owes him his crown, which Hal places on his head, reflecting that the strongest arm in the world wouldn't be strong enough to wrest it off him. Then he, in turn, will pass it onto his own son. Hal exits.
The crown itself, Prince Hal's musings suggest, is a kind of ailment, damaging the health of anyone who wears it. England's throne was traditionally passed down from father to his eldest son, thus Prince Hal becomes king once his father dies.

King Henry IV wakes and cries out for Clarence, Gloucester, and Warwick, who enter. Hearing that Prince Hal has been sitting with him and noticing the crown gone, the king concludes that his son is nothing but a greedy murderer, eager for his father to die so that he might inherit his wealth and power. Warwick insists that Hal is a loving son and reports that he's been sobbing in the next room. Prince Hal enters and everyone else exits.
King Henry IV's anger reveals some of the anxieties and frustrations experienced by a king towards his eldest son: he wonders whether his son would prefer him dead so that he could reign in full power. At the same time, the ridiculousness of the misunderstanding instills some comedy into the grave scene and turns King Henry IV from stately monarch to a frustrated dad.
King Henry IV accuses Prince Hal of wishing him dead. "O foolish youth," he exclaims, "Thou seek'st the greatness that will overwhelm thee" and, in stealing the crown, has simply stolen a right that would have been freely given to Hal a half an hour hence, for Henry is almost dead. Prince Hal's theft has simply confirmed King Henry IV's expectations: Prince Hal has never loved his father and may as well be a murderer, so much has he longed for his father's death. Rising to become King Henry V, Prince Hal will render England a foolish, lazy, indecorous, drunken, frolicsome, thieving, murderous, criminal wilderness where "the wild dog shall flesh his tooth on every innocent. O my poor kingdom," Henry cries, "sick with civil blows!"
Prince Hal's action has filled King Henry IV with despair on two accounts: first, the king is devastated because he feels his son never loved him and was more interested in inheriting his father's power than in preserving the old king's life; second, the king is heartbroken by the thought of the disordered shambles his kingdom will be thrown into under the wild reign he imagines his son will hold over England.
Prince Hal cries out for King Henry IV's pardon, handing back the crown and swearing his enduring allegiance to his father. Hal explains that, thinking his father was dead, he was wracked with grief and had spoken to the crown to upbraid it for being "worst of gold" and, where other precious things "[preserve] life in medicine potable" the crown "has eat thy bearer up." Hal explains that he put on the crown, then, to fight against it, the enemy who murdered his father, and derived no joy or delight from it for himself.
Again, Prince Hal describes the crown in terms of disease, comparing it to a parasite that eats away at its host. He describes his action not as the cruel usurpation his father believed it to be but as a heartfelt effort to protect his father against threat.
Moved by his son's speech, King Henry IV forgives Prince Hal and imparts his final advice lovingly: "God knows, my son," he says to the prince, "By what bypaths and indirect crook'd ways I met this crown, and I myself know well how troublesome it sat upon my head," but its blemished acquisition will be buried with King Henry IV and the crown will sit much more firmly and easily on Prince Hal's head. Still, he warns Prince Hal to be wary of civil unrest and of the rebels that have plagued King Henry IV's entire reign. The best way to ensure peace in the Prince Hal's reign will be to launch crusades abroad, so people don't have enough idle time to grow restless, nurture grudges, and turn traitorous at home: "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels; that action…may waste the memory of former days." Prince Hal promises to protect the crown to the best of his ability.
Even as he has defended his throne against the rebels, King Henry IV's dying words reveal that he, too, had doubts about his right to the crown. After all, if the throne is given to someone by God, then what right did Henry have to depose Richard II, no matter what Richard's sins might have been. Still, he believes that his turning over that crown to Prince Hal will bury the tensions of the past—that a "clean" inheritance of the throne will wipe away the "messiness" of his own ascension to the throne. His military advice to his son—to pursue foreign wars in order to distract his subjects from dwelling in past grudges and fomenting unrest—is highly problematic, of course, as it completely disregards the value and rights of foreign peoples, even as it suggests throwing away the life of common soldiers as a way to maintain power.
Lancaster and Warwick enter to bid King Henry IV last farewells. The king asks what the name of the room where he fainted was and, hearing it's named "Jerusalem," marvels at the unexpected fulfillment of a long-ago prophecy that he "should not die but in Jerusalem, which vainly I supposed the Holy Land." He asks to be carried into that room to die. All exit.
King Henry's long held aspiration to launch crusades looks even more questionable after this revelation: the king was motivated, it seems, not by religious faith but by the childish desire to fulfill a personal prophesy.

E-journal "Ethics and Armed Forces" is awarded with the European Award for "Military Ethics"
At the 13th Berlin Security Conference (BSC), the zebis-e-journal "Ethics and Armed Forces – Controversies in Military Ethics & Security Policy" received the special prize for "Military Ethics", the European Award for "Citizenship, Security and Defence". Robert Walter, Member of the UK Parliament, President of the European Security and Defence Association delivered the prize.
The European Award for "Citizenship, Security and Defence" rewards outstanding achievements towards promoting European Citizenship and "European Security and Defence awareness", defined as the civic aspect of the Common Security and Defense Policy. Laudator General Yves Béraud applauded the work of zebis and emphasized that it reflects the "necessity of strong code of conducts for European armed forces".
The prize was awarded to zebis on the recommendation of Euro-ISME. Prof. Dr. Thomas R. Elßner (vice president of Euro-ISME) underlined the importance of ethical education in the armed forces overall. He especially emphasized zebis' initiative for a controversial international exchange about current questions in military ethics and security policy with its innovative e-journal "Ethics and Armed Forces". Also, Elßner referred to the comprehensive supply of didactic materials of the zebis teaching portal and zebis achievements regarding the awareness of topics in military ethics on a European level.
Since 2011, this award has been organized by the French Association "Civisme, Défense, Armée, Nation" (CiDAN), together with the inter-parliamentary "European Security and Defence Association" (ESDA), under the High Patronage of the President of the European Council and under the Patronage of the Representation in France of the European Commission. In 2014 the European Award for "Citizenship, Security and Defence" once again benefited from a strong partnership with the German Group ProPress, the Robert Schuman Foundation and the Gesellschaft für Sicherheitspolitik.


With the summers approaching, long lasting and sweat proof makeup is every woman's goal. With a handful of tips and tricks, achieving the summer time all-day-long dream look should be easy.
Summer or winter, makeup can never look picture perfect if your skin isn't getting the right type of moisture for its specific kind. In summers it is imperative to find an oil-free moisturizer. Also look for an oil-free foundation.
makeup glide on easily and make it last. Find the primer that suits your skin type best. It doesn't matter if it is mattifying, pore minimizing, firming, etc., choose what suits you best. A primer is the key if you want your makeup to last all day in summer.
The best option for summer is tinted moisturizers. They provide enough for covering up imperfections. If need be, apply a concealer on problem areas. Avoid heavy, cakey makeup as it is more prone to creasing, and that's not a cute look.
It is essential to understand the difference between a healthy glow and an over the top shiny look. Liquid foundations will be your best friends for this hot season. Avoid cream foundations, as they will crease, fudge and give you an overall greasy look as the day gets hotter and humid. Avoid shimmer eye shadows. They might look too harsh. The goal is to avoid shimmer as much as possible.
Bright colors look too bright in summer. Let it be lipsticks, eye shadows or blushers. Go sheer with your favorite pink. Go light on the eyes. Avoid dark colors altogether. Use white water-line pencils to achieve an eye opening effect and avoid black liner pencils. If your eyes need an eyeliner, look for matte eyeliners. Avoid the shiny ones.
Powders make makeup look cakey. Since blush is important for every makeup look and can help bring life to your face instantly, it's a step not to miss so use cheek stains instead, as they are long lasting and give a more natural look.
The T-zone is usually the greasiest place on one's face. Avoiding the oil there is mandatory. Don't forget to put powder on your T-zone to avoid unwanted shine. For oil reoccurring throughout the day, blotting sheets can do the trick. Don't forget to slip them in your bag before leaving the house.
Matte lipsticks can look too harsh in summer time. Your best friend can be the regular lip stains. A nice thin gloss can also do the trick. But try to avoid gloopy lip-gloss. Sweet pink and peach colors work best.
Water proof mascara and eyeliners are very important. With sweat, mascara can spread and your eyeliner may be prone to smudge. In this case, waterproof makeup can come in handy. But do keep in mind: waterproof mascara can be stubborn when it's time to take it off. If residue is left behind on your eyelids, it can cause eye infections and lashes to fall out. Use makeup removers that can easily take off waterproof mascara.
