I checked in midweek in room 107. Found a couple of red rashes around my stomach area--I didn't sleep with a shirt that night. I thought I might have been allergic to the sheets, so I took the sheets off and had them changed.
The following day I woke up with welts all over my arms and legs, especially my feet and hands. I went to a doctor. As soon as the nurse walked in before I could tell her what happened, she said "Looks like you've got bedbugs. Stay in any hotels lately?"
me in later to confirm her conclusion. I called and told Marina Village Inn and they said "We took video evidence and didn't find any traces under the mattress. We also use mattress lining so that they can't get on you if they do live in the mattress" All in all, they said they didn't find anything and I must've gotten them elsewhere. However, I've slept nowhere else and did nothing different but go from there to work and back.
Rarely travel these days - stayed there around April, 2013. The day I checked out I started itching. Welts developed all over my body I counted over 50 and have pictures (arghhhh). The welts got bigger and more swollen for the next week or so. Checked out bedbugs on the net and the welts fit the description perfectly. Tracks up and down arms and legs, bites on uncovered areas of my body. Two nurses looked at them and agreed that they met the symptoms.
the hotel is old and not in the best repair. The room smelled a bit. Other rooms have water stains on ceilings from old leaks and smells of mold.
I generally work at home, live a relatively isolated lifestyle so there really is no other explanation for how this happened.
Reported to the hotel - took several days for a response and multiple phone calls.
My toddler and I stayed in this quaint Inn for almost a month and unfortunately she developed so much bed bug rash from this place.
Its a shame because they do strive to keep the place clean and well maintained.


Sophomore first baseman Jackson Soto sharpens his focus as he awaits a pitch. Soto recorded three hits and two runs in the Apr. 9 doubleheader against Mt. Hood at Titan Field.
The Lane Titans baseball team opened its conference play against the Mt. Hood St. Bernards in a five-game series. The Titans won the first game and earned the shutout at Titan Field, 3-0 on Apr. 3. The Titans then traveled to Gresham and lost back-to-back games on Apr. 8. In the final two games of the series, the Titans hosted the St. Bernards, again at Titan Field, hoping for a better result that they got over the weekend.
In their first game of a doubleheader on Apr. 9, the Titans squeezed by Mt. Hood with a 3-2 victory.
Mt. Hood wasted no time getting on the scoreboard first when outfielder Jason Garcia batted in one runner to put the St. Bernards ahead early. Through the first five innings Mt. Hood racked up five hits and two runs. Meanwhile, Lane was struggling to make contact on the ball with just one hit and one run in the first five innings.
The bottom of the sixth inning was the turning point in the game as Lane starting catcher Jimmy McDonald hit a shallow single to right field which drove in sophomores Tielar Murray and Lane Kashiwamura. The Titans regained the lead, 3-2 as McDonald got credit for two RBI's.
Lane starting pitcher Jesse Davis throws a pitch during the Titans 3-2 victory over the Mt. Hood St. Bernards on Apr. 9 at Titan Field. Davis has signed his letter of intent to pitch for the University of Washington Huskies next Spring.
Following the end of the third inning, Lane did not allow any hits or runs from Mt. Hood. This helped them secure a 3-2 victory in the first of two games on Apr. 9. Lane pitcher Jesse Davis earned the win, striking out five batters and allowing just five hits. Aaron Hutchinson picked up the save on the mound for Lane.
It was three batters up, three batters down for Mt. Hood in the first inning of the second game of the afternoon doubleheader. Freshman Charlie Patterson earned the start on the mound for the Titans. In four and a half innings Patterson allowed just one hit and struck out five Mt. Hood batters, two in the first inning.
It took the Titans more than three innings to get points on the scoreboard. In the bottom of the fourth inning Lane outfielder, Tim Storms drove in two runs when he hit a double to center field to give the Titans their first lead of the game, 2-1.
It was a busy fifth inning for both teams. Mt. Hood recorded one hit and also scored one run to tie the score at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning. Titan outfielder Colton Sakamoto recorded his second hit of the afternoon on a fly ball to outfield. Soto followed his lead and smashed a double past the Mt. Hood outfielder which drove in Sakamoto and landed himself on second. After he put himself in scoring position, Hank Forrest hit another double and pushed the Lane lead to 4-2.
Later in the sixth inning, Sakamoto batted in two RBI's and Lane continued to perform on the offensive end extending their lead to 6-2. Lane shutout Mt. Hood in the final inning to secure their third conference victory of the season. With their victory, Lane jumped into third place in the Southern Region conference. They continue their conference play when they play the Clark College Penguins in a five-game series starting on Apr. 10. Clark is currently second in the NWAC standings.


Hello, my name is Erick Matos and I love doing outdoor activities, laughing is my best medicine and I think people have special energy when they are happy, at the end of 2009 I had the opportunity to travel to Canada and enjoy the landscapes and from that moment I wanted to dedicate myself to photography, I like to be able to combine the landscapes with the natural expressions of the people, I think that when people become comfortable, they forget the camera and that's when the magic begins.

Hola! My friends call me Manú because I have a large name. I live in the heart of Mayan Riviera since 2009. I´m motivated by the turquoise water who is constantly flowing bringing people from all around the world. I found by making portraits the people have timeless memories of happiness and I love this feeling. I've been done lifestyle photography in 5 diamond hotels for 6 years. I love to shoot in the beach but if someone likes adventure we can go to the jungle, cenotes or the colorful 5th avenue.
I'm a Mexican professional photographer with more than 7 years of experience. My specialty is lifestyle and editorial photography. I did weddings for some time too, but I rather have a more personal and close interaction with the people I work with. So I decided to focus more on lifestyle photography, especially work with people who love to travel. Being myself a travel addict, I know exactly how important is to have amazing pictures that will bring great memories from each trip. I speak both English and Spanish.

First off, let me say that I'm very new to this type of encryption and most likely making several key mistakes based on bad assumptions.
I'm using Automize Enterprise 8.37.
That said, I'm trying to setup Automize to decrypt a file that was encrypted in PGP Desktop 10.0. I have imported both the public and private keys from the PGP Desktop user into Automize with no errors.
I setup an encryption profile that has a method of "Decrypt" and points to the private key and includes the passphrase. (I can successfully decrypt this file using PGP desktop on my side with this key and passphrase).
"No valid OpenPGP data found".
The file does not have a .pgp extension.
how did you encrypt the file?
The file in question was encrypted with the PGP Netshare feature of PGP Destkop 10.0.x using the same key pair that I am trying to use for decryption.
With the same key pair, can you encrypt and then decrypt the same file from Automize? i.e. both encrypt and decrypt from automize?
Got a chance to test this today. Yes I can encrypt and decrypt a file using Automize with the same keypair.
What do you think I should look at next? Thanks much.
seems like an incompatibility issue between the Gnupg and PGP desktop 10. you could try creating a key pair in automize and then encrypt using that public key in PGP desktop. then decrypt using Automize. this will let you know if the key pair is the issue or the encrypt/decrypt algorithms.

The tort of intentional infliction of mental suffering ("IIMS") is not awarded often, and requires the Plaintiff to meet a very high threshold.
The first and third branches of the test are objective, but the second branch is subjective.
According to the Ontario Court of Appeal, to satisfy the second branch of the test it "must be shown that the defendant desired to produce the kind of harm that was suffered, or knew that it was substantially certain to follow… the extent of the harm need not be anticipated, but the kind of harm must have been intended or known to be substantially certain to follow." See Piresferreira v Ayotte, 2010 ONCA 384 at para 78.
The Court of Appeal was clear in Piresferreira that a reckless disregard for the harm that was caused does not satisfy the second branch of the test.
Who May Be Liable for the Tort of IIMS?
The tort of IIMS can be appropriately pleaded against an individual defendant personally, and vicariously against an employer for their employee's tortious conduct.
The Ontario Court of Appeal's decisions in Piresferreira v Ayotte, 2010 ONCA 384, and Boucher v Wal-Mart Canada Corp., 2014 ONCA 419, are examples of where the analysis for the tort of IIMS was applied to the actions of the individual defendants in their personal capacity.
In Boucher v Wal-Mart Canada Corp., the Court found the individual defendant, Mr. Pinnock, personally liable for the tort of IIMS, and upheld the jury's award of $100,000 for this tort. In that case, Ms. Boucher was subjected to a campaign of persistent verbal abuse at the hand of Mr. Pinnock, in an effort to drive Ms. Boucher to quit.
In Piresferreira v Ayotte, 2010 ONCA 384, Mr. Ayotte, the Plaintiff's manager who had a history of aggressive behaviour and verbal abuse, yelled and swore at Ms. Piresferreira because she failed to schedule a client meeting. When Ms. Piresferreira tried to explain herself to Mr. Ayotte, he pushed her. Shortly after this exchange, Ms. Piresferreira received a negative Performance Improvement Plan.
The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld that personal liability for the tort of IIMS is possible; however, the Plaintiff failed to establish the desire to produce harm required by the second branch of the test for IIMS.
Vicarious liability is the legal doctrine that holds third parties legally liable for the actions of others. Employers can be held liable for the unauthorized or intentional wrongs of their employees.
If the wrongful act can be sufficiently connected to the conduct authorized by the employer or principle to justify the imposition of vicarious liability.
The Courts have found employers vicariously liable for the tort of IIMS. In Boucher v Wal-Mart Canada Corp., the Court found that Wal-Mart was vicariously liable for the $100,000 tort award against Mr. Pinnock.
More recently, in Merrifield v Canada (Attorney General), 2017 ONSC 1333, the Court awarded $100,000 in general damages for the tort of intentional infliction of mental suffering as against the employer (the RCMP) and the two individual defendants.
The tort of IIMS, while challenging to establish, has been successfully pleaded against both employees and employers. To date, the highest award for the tort of IIMS is $100,000 in both Boucher v Wal-Mart and Merrifield v Canada. Note that Merrifield v Canada, is currently under appeal.
Employers should be alert to the reality that they can be found vicariously liable for the unauthorized, intentional wrongful actions of their employees and must act on allegations of harassment and tortious conduct among their employees.

Mercury Found in High-Fructose Corn Syrup

High-fructose corn syrup has taken our food shelves by storm. It is present in many different types of bread, cereals, breakfast bars, yogurts, soups and sugary beverages. It is estimated that, on a typical day, an American consumes an average of 12 teaspoons of such syrup. Further, teenagers and others with high consumption may even be taking in up to 80% more than average. Recently, two separate studies, one published in the journal Environmental Health and the other conducted by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), have revealed a further danger of high-fructose corn syrup, having found that it may contain mercury.
Environmental Health Study
In the report of the first study, it was noted that mercury cell chlor-alkali products are used to make many food ingredients; these include citrus acid, sodium benzoate, as well as high-fructose corn syrup. The latter, referred to as HFCS for short, is used to sweeten and stabilize food products and lengthen their shelf lives.
In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency had reported that an average of about 7 tons of mercury from each of the then 8 mercury cell chlor-alkali plants located in the US were unaccounted for in 2000. All that mercury must have gone somewhere, and, with it being such a dangerous neurotoxin, that was a dangerous statistic implying additional exposure for humans and the environment. Of particular concern is exposure for children and other sensitive segments of the population.
An Environmental Health Officer (EHO) thus conducted an investigation in 2004, which revealed that both mercury grade and membrane grade caustic soda were used by the industry to manufacture HFCS. Another chemical used was hydrochloric acid. Since mercury grade chemicals were used in the manufacturing process of HFCS, it was likely that mercury could be found in the final product, too.
The EHO dug deeper, collecting HFCS samples from 3 manufacturers and then analyzing them for total mercury content. In almost half of the samples, or 9 out of 20, mercury levels above the detection limit of 0.005 micrograms of mercury per gram of HFCS was found. The maximum level detected was 0.570 ìg mercury/g HFCS in one sample. The samples were collected from 17 to 24 February, 2005.
IATP Study
For the IATP study, the researchers had tested 55 popular brand-name food products and detected mercury in 17 of them (see WebMD link below for a list of the affected products). The 55 products had been chosen based on the fact that HFCS was the number one or two labeled ingredient; such labeling indicates that HFCS was the highest or second highest ingredient in the product, according to weight. The worst hit products were dairy products, followed by dressings and condiments.
"Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the FDA to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply," said David Wallinga, MD, from the IATP, who was involved in both the said studies.
It should be noted that a "snap-shot" sample of the products was obtained, which would not conclusively prove that these products were always or often contaminated.

Superstar Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are at full-force against childhood vaccines that are given during the child's developmental stage. The CDCs vaccination schedule for children is ever increasing since Thimerosal was implemented in the 1930s. The current recommended schedule for these shots is 48 doses of 14 vaccines by the time the child starts kindergarten, of these, 36 doses of various vaccines will be given during the first 18 months of life. [Source]
The Hollywood couple went on Larry King Live concerned that children are given 'too many vaccines too soon' and that these vaccines have ingredients like Thimerosal (mercury) causing brain neuron degeneration called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPDDzwhu–s
Jim Carrey recently wrote an article in the Huffington Post titled "Judgement on Vaccines Is In?". here's a few snippets:
"In this growing crisis, we cannot afford to blindly trumpet the agenda of the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) or vaccine makers. Now more than ever, we must resist the urge to close this book before it's been written. The anecdotal evidence of millions of parents who've seen their totally normal kids regress into sickness and mental isolation after a trip to the pediatrician's office must be seriously considered. The legitimate concern they and many in the scientific community have that environmental toxins, including those found in vaccines, may be causing autism and other disorders (Asbergers, ADD, ADHD), cannot be dissuaded by a show of sympathy and a friendly invitation to look for the 'real' cause of autism anywhere but within the lucrative vaccine program.
In all likelihood the truth about vaccines is that they are both good and bad. While ingredients like aluminum, mercury, ether, formaldehyde and anti-freeze may help preserve and enhance vaccines, they can be toxic as well. The assortment of viruses delivered by multiple immunizations may also be a hazard. I agree with the growing number of voices within the medical and scientific community who believe that vaccines, like every other drug, have risks as well as benefits and that for the sake of profit, American children are being given too many, too soon. One thing is certain. We don't know enough to announce that all vaccines are safe!
We have never argued that people shouldn't be immunized for the most serious threats including measles and polio, but surely there's a limit as to how many viruses and toxins can be introduced into the body of a small child. Veterinarians found out years ago that in many cases they were over-immunizing our pets, a syndrome they call Vaccinosis. It overwhelmed the immune system of the animals, causing myriad physical and neurological disorders. Sound familiar? If you can over-immunize a dog, is it so far out to assume that you can over-immunize a child? These forward thinking vets also decided to remove Thimerosal from animal vaccines in 1992, and yet this substance, which is 49% mercury, is still in human vaccines. Don't our children deserve as much consideration as our pets?
If the CDC, the AAP and Ms. Brown insist that our children take twice as many shots as the rest of the western world, we need more independent vaccine research not done by the drug companies selling the vaccines or by organizations under their influence. Studies that cannot be internally suppressed. Answers parents can trust. Perhaps this is what Campbell Brown should be demanding and how the power of the press could better serve the public in the future." [Source]
The main cause for autism is a vaccine preservative called Thimerosal, which is 49.6% mercury by weight, mercury is the second most toxic metal known to mankind. [Source] Not only is mercury in childhood vaccines but in 90% of all flu shots, food, and silver amalgam tooth fillings which also cause Brain Neuron Degeneration:
If you have amalgam tooth fillings you can find your nearest Biological Dentist that are professionals in safely extracting amalgam, replacing them with better materials. [Source]
A study from the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) also agrees with the hypothesis that autism is directly caused by the exposure of the vaccine preservative Thimerosal. [Source]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the author of "Deadly Immunity" on RollingStone.com appeared on Scarborough Country in 2008 discussing how the same top government scientists whom green-lighted Thimerosal in vaccines in the 1930s are covering-up the effects of Thimerosal from the American people today
The same year Kennedy Jr.'s article was published the U.S. Government quietly admitted the link with vaccines-autism in a Court of Federal Claims [Source]
In other non-related thimerosal news, girls and women who receive Merck's Gardasil (an HPV vaccine) are getting Guillian-Barre syndrome (a debilitating neuron disorder) after getting their shots. The same vaccine injury that 500 U.S. soldiers experienced during the swine flu scare of 1976. [Source]
There are a lot of vaccines that contain a cocktail of who knows what, it is playing Russian roulette with your health. Big Pharma is big business, and big corporations get together with big governments to destroy lives and make money! When you think of vaccines, think about how Baxter Pharmaceuticals was caught putting H5N1 in flu vaccines! [Source].
The eugenics society and Big Pharma corporations have a never-ending vendetta against human life. They seek to destroy life, they seek to dumb down intelligence so people do not question their authority. They want a zombie-like population, that's why mandatory child vaccinations are needed, and if you don't bend to the will of this Orwellian government you will be labeled an "unfit parent" or a "crazy conspiracy theorist" and have your child taken away.
Bertrand Russell in his 1952 book The Impact of Science on Society* describes the effects
of "scientific technique" on the increasing control of societies by an ever shrinking number of people
In 1952, Globalist Bertrand A. W. Russell wrote a book called "The Impact of Science and Society" describes the effects of scientific techniques of manipulation used on societies, on page 49-50 he wrote: "Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible."
Thimerosal in vaccines doesn't lead to autism?

Bluebeat Lounge Presents...The Skatalites, Go Jimmy Go(Last US show!), Chris Murray Combo, DJ Lawless & DJ Denver Dave March 13, 2007
From Allmusic.com: "More than a band, the Skatalites were and are an institution, an aggregation of top-notch musicians who didn't merely define the sound of Jamaica, they were the sound of Jamaica across the '50s and '60s. Although the group existed in its original incarnation for less than 18 months, members brought their signature styles to hundreds upon hundreds of the island's releases. (Their) instrumentals were the group's glory. Songs like "Guns of Navarone," "Phoenix City," "Addis Ababa," "Silver Dollar," "Corner Stone," and "Blackberry Brandy," to name just a small handful of their most seminal cuts, not only defined the island's sound, but created a whole new genre of music -- ska. The group have ofttimes been quoted as saying their invention of ska was never intentional, but merely the byproduct of their flawed attempts at American R&B. But this self-deprecating explanation neglects the jazz and big band swing sound that was also crucial to ska in its original form. And anyone good enough to play in those styles would have little problem mastering R&B. What the Skatalites actually did was drag these older styles into the contemporary scene, merge it with modern R&B, and propel it into the mainstream via a faster syncopated island beat. And with it, the group's musical legacy spread around the world and across generations."

Now more than ever, the ability to sight-read fluently is an essential part of the training of musicians on an instrument. This workbook is designed to help overcome the nerves that can cause sight-reading problems by giving sound technical advice and confidence boosting tips. Step-by-step it helps the violinist to build up a complete picture of each piece, first through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific problems, then by the study of prepared piece with associated questions for the student to answer, and finally to the real, unprepared sight-reading test itself. Check-boxes for each stage allow both teacher and pupil to keep an eye on progress. The new editions of this popular series supports the new ABRSM string syllabus requirements from 2012, ensuring success in the sight-reading tests of graded exams.

Q: Prove $\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{k} x^n(1-k^{-1}x)^{k}dx = n!$ I need to show the following limit
$\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{k} x^n(1-k^{-1}x)^{k}dx = n!$
I tried using the binomial expansion of $(1-x)^k$ but its not leading me anywhere !
maybe I need to use DCT ..
Please help !

A: Hint: Try using the fact that $\lim_{k\to\infty}(1+r/k)^k=e^r$, along with DCT. To apply DCT, you may want to use the inequality
$1-x \leq e^{-x}$.

A: Using $t=\dfrac{x}{k}$, now the integral is
$$\int_0^1k^{n+1}t^n(1-t)^k\text{d}t=-\int_0^1\frac{k^{n+1}}{k+1}t^n\text{d}(1-t)^{k+1}$$
Via integration by parts, then we can find
\begin{split}
\int_0^1k^{n+1}t^n(1-t)^k\text{d}t&=n\int_0^1\frac{k^{n+1}}{k+1}t^{n-1}(1-t)^{k+1}\text{d}t\\
&=-n\int_0^{1}\frac{k^{n+1}}{(k+1)(k+2)}t^{n-1}\text{d}(1-t)^{k+2}\\
&=n(n-1)\int_0^{1}\frac{k^{n+1}}{(k+1)(k+2)}t^{n-2}(1-t)^{k+2}\text{d}t\\
&=\cdots\\
&=n!\int_0^1\frac{k^{n+1}}{(k+1)(k+2)\cdots(k+n)}(1-t)^{k+n}\text{d}t\\
&=n!\frac{k^{n+1}}{(k+1)(k+2)\cdots(k+n)(k+n+1)}
\end{split}
Thus,
\begin{split}
\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}\int_0^1k^{n+1}t^n(1-t)^k\text{d}t
&=\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}n!\frac{k^{n+1}}{(k+1)(k+2)\cdots(k+n)(k+n+1)}\\
&=n!
\end{split}
Hope this can help you.

What is that muzzle brake? I looked at circle 10 AK nothing like it there?
Yes, this is circle10AK flash hider.
Hooray for the WASR. It would be cool, to see a modern Russian AK gulping down the test. Another outstanding Gun Ho video, A+.
Another great review. Thumbs up and thorough.
Do you ever have issues with AK mags and steel case ammo in freezing temperatures? Especially with polymer mags?
Lancer AR mags are terrible with steel case ammo if frozen or very low temps. If ammo is coated, not so bad. The rounds get held up in the mag. Brass is gtg.
How about an AK video for CQB? Compare with AR?
I used polymer mags on AK up to -22F (-50F in wind chill) and had no problems with it.

More Than A Toy
Matthew shows off the set inspired by a vision of empowerment and inclusion.
September 10, 2021 / Buzz
When Matthew Ashton, LEGO Group's vice president of design, was a child, he and his brother were very different. He knew he identified LGBTQ+ from an early age, and his brother was, well, more traditionally a boy and fairly aggressive. "I would be outside twirling in the garden, and my brother would be taking all the heads off the daffodils with his light saber," Ashton says of his childhood. The one thing they both did together, though, and which gave them many hours of pleasure was play with LEGO.
At the time, Ashton knew that he loved how LEGO let him use his imagination to create, but he had no idea he would end up working for the company. In fact, his first ambition took him to the world of fashion. Yet, as so often happens in the world of toys, it was only by happenstance that he ended up in the business. As part of a show and a job fair at the end of his training, he had to figure out how to show all his designs in a tiny space. In a moment of inspiration, he made miniature versions of his collection, which he put on Barbie dolls. As luck would have it, his booth near the exit. "Everyone who left had to go by my display," he said, and his work caught the eye of the LEGO recruiter on their way out the door. That was the moment that started him on his current path.
At LEGO Group, Ashton has overseen design on many of the company's toys and entertainment properties and oversees hundreds of designers in Billund, Denmark and around the world. His most recent creation, however, is the Everyone is Awesome set introduced in June of this year, that celebrates inclusion, positivity, acceptance, and diversity. The name comes from the earworm song from The LEGO Movie, and Ashton says that the set was originally developed when he was looking around to decorate a new office space and was just fooling around. After attending an executive meeting where attendees were challenged to come up with their personal missions, the set as an expression of his values and vision began to take shape. Noting the positive response from co-workers, he suggested it as a product to management, and it was a go. The set includes stripes for all colors of the traditional rainbow flag, as well as black and brown, and the blue, white and pink stripes of the transgender community aka the Progress flag. There's a LEGO Minifig for each color, and the effect is like a miniature monument and celebration. The set is available for $34.99 at LEGO.com, and to date sales have been strong
Ashton's set also reflects LEGO's culture and ethic. The company site says, "We believe that LEGO play is for everyone, no matter your race, your gender, how you identify or who you love." The company has many Global and Local Employee Advocacy groups, which ensure that diversity and inclusion are part of all aspects of the company. Moreover, Ashton's set is just one of many sets that have been created—some by fans—to celebrate LGBTQ+ people.
Plan for the Long Run
Moving In Together? Think About Potential Legal Issues
When the Everyone is Awesome set was introduced, it created huge publicity, some of it not so supportive. Ashton took all of that in stride, noting that in the current climate that was just the next thing people hooked into…yet only for a day or two. He notes that in a couple of days the people carping were on to something else—and the set is still here.
What is enduring—and inspiring—about this set, LEGO and Ashton himself—is the message this sends. He adds that when he was a boy or a young man struggling to come out and live authentically, he would have loved a set like this. "It would have been such a relief to know that someone had my back," he says. The validation, belief and support would have been incredible for him. That's why he sees this as so much more than just a toy or a LEGO set. It's a gift to everyone that comes from the heart.

We help them achieve exponential growth with the right community, events and facilities. Our program included speakers from Google, Stripe, Amazon, and many others.
I was a product manager at Google. Product managers are a peculiar bunch. They do a lot of things, but mainly help ship the right product for the right people. I did exactly that. I mainly worked on Google for Jobs as part of the PeopleOps team, but also collaborated with teams across the company on product excellence and growth.
Karma is a simple and honest mobile provider. Joining TechStars in 2012 in New York, we built a mobile provider in less than a year, with investors such as 500 Startups and DFJ. Next to defining our product and overall strategy as a co-founder, I was responsible for our hiring, community and marketing.
In 2007 I co-founded Wakoopa, which started as a social network for software. We later switched our focus, and created a great research product that was used by Google, Wired Magazine, and many others. I was our lead designer and head of product. The company was later acquired by market research institute GfK.
Together with a friend I discovered Foursquare during SXSW and fell in love with the app. We approached its founders shortly after to help bring it to Europe. After some planning, Foursquare launched in its first city outside of the US: Amsterdam.

In my next blog, I write of NOT succumbing to lotteries or scammers yet as I presently have more sense than that. Well, I must confess this has not always been the case. Years ago, we went through another financially difficult time, and so I entertained bizarre ways of making money and I took me and my kids to play Bingo one night at our local parish hall. If we won, great, and it we didn't, I rationalized, the experience would support our church, though I admit, minimally and it would renew an old lesson learned that I have never forgotten from the days of my youth and perhaps teach my kids that same lesson.
I was about eight or nine, and had gone with a girlfriend to our local shopping center. It was the Saturday before Mother's Day, and I needed to get my mother a gift, besides which there was to be a local fair. Sure enough, it was all we expected it to be! There was a nickel toss where you could win beautiful prizes, and I saw a set of dishes that I was sure my mother would love. A few nickels to win them, and I would have the remainder of my five or six dollars to spend on myself. It was a brilliant plan!
In those days my wants weren't big and this would be just what was needed to spread my wealth and delight both my mother and myself. She would be thrilled with what my money otherwise couldn't have bought and I envisioned a week's supply of bubblegum cigars for myself, an ice-cream cone and perhaps even a painted turtle from the Five and Ten Store?
How fortunate I was to have such a good brain that could scheme so well! Only an hour later, I returned home, my pocket full of booby prizes: Chinese finger pull traps, balloons, little ring puzzles and a yoyo. Still stunned that I had run out of nickels with no new dishes or bubblegum cigars for me, I reported to my father, hoping I could gain his sympathy and another allowance for a Mother's Day gift. He chuckled and said, "Mmmm, so you learned your lesson-- that gambling doesn't pay?". He then offered to help me wrap my bizarre assortment of the worst Mother's Day presents ever. No sympathy or extra money was given to me despite my tears.
Yes, my kids and I would have an inexpensive night out, have fun, and either win the bingo lottery, or learn (again) that gambling doesn't pay. We went with just about the same sort of cash as in my first gambling venture, a jug of Kool-aid and a bag full of cookies. With the help of my newly acquired and much experienced bingo friends who saw our innocent green faces and watched over our single cards to be sure we didn't miss any called number, along with their dozens of cards in front of them, we won!! It was no big lottery, but enough to "wet our whistle" to try again next week for a bigger pot of gold.
Mom, I am thinking of you this Mother's Day and am still wondering what you did with those Chinese finger traps, ring puzzles, balloons and yoyo? And I have to smile now, for as life comes full circle, I remember other such silly booby prizes in your drawers, as I cleaned out your home. You had succumbed to playing lotteries and were scammed to enter many a sweepstake. Now I know it is from your genes that I come with such crazy schemes and it makes you more dear to me than ever! I have grown up to be like my mother, in more ways than I ever imagined! I love you forever Mom!!

If I understand your question correctly, you're wondering whether two families staying in separate Walt Disney World Resort Hotel rooms can both use the same Memory Maker in order to get unlimited digital downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass Service photos and videos. The answer is yes! Provided all of the members of the family are included in the "Friends & Family" list of the person whose My Disney Experience account has the Memory Maker attached to it, all of your priceless vacation photos will be included!
One small clarification: Memory Maker allows you to download your pictures from the Disney PhotoPass website. It doesn't include a DVD with all of your photos. While Disney used to offer a DVD (called an Archive Disk) with your photos for an additional fee, I'm not sure whether they offer it anymore. I would recommend contacting Disney PhotoPass for more information if having a DVD is really important to you.
Please don't hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions. Et n'oubliez pas que vous pouvez également me poser des questions en français!

Q: How to use S3 static web hosting (conditional redirect) with Cloudfront OAI I am using static website hosting on S3, specifically for the conditional redirect so I can redirect 404 responses to a lambda function:
[
    {
        "Condition": {
            "HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals": "404"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "<MY LAMBDA>",
            "HttpRedirectCode": "307",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyPrefixWith": "prod/"
        }
    }
]

This is working well when my bucket is public, but I want to make my bucket private and use Cloudfront OAI so it can only be accessed through Cloudfront.
The issue is, when I make the bucket private, the Cloudfront pointing to the S3 static website stops working and returns 403 responses.
Under the Cloudfront origin settings, I don't see a way to add OAI for the distribution. Is there any way to use OAI and still take advantage of the conditional redirects with S3 static website hosting? Also, if my lambda accesses the bucket, do I need to add an extra bucket policy to allow access for the lambda, even though the lambda already has API keys?
I've tried changing the cloudfront origin to point directly to the S3 bucket instead of the S3 static website, but then the redirects stop working.
(To give a little extra info, the S3 is storing media files, not a website. The lambda is a dynamic image resizing app, so if the S3 hits a 404 for a specific image size, the lambda will upload a new file with that size and then redirect back to the Cloudfront/S3 endpoint).

Grieg finds sublimity amidst the grief
The Events – Maria Room @ Young Vic, until 02 November 2013
A rather unusual thing happened to David Grieg whilst he was researching material for The Events (winner of a Fringe First, subject to rave reviews and currently playing at the Young Vic until November); following a feature interview in The Observer he was forced into the position of an issuing a statement via his blog to clarify that his latest work was both not a musical and not about Anders Breivik.
It is a telling moment in the creation of this subtle and quietly devastating work that one of our leading contemporary playwrights felt the need to publically justify his work; it was a moment that was indicative of the undercurrent of sensationalism that surrounds mass public tragedies and which makes it so difficult to discuss them in anything other than the most binary of terms.
There is nothing in The Events that is suggestive of the Breivik shootings, however the themes are as much about that tragedy as it is about Dunblane, Columbine or Sandy Hook. As a play it is at once singular and all-encompassing; Grieg allows the audience to only see glimpses of the tragedy as the play instead looks at the deeper, more powerful questions that arise in the response to a tragic event.
The play is neither cast nor structured in a traditional way; perhaps rightly assuming that to tell the story through a linear narrative would lead to difficulties in ensuring each viewpoint was treated with equal weight, Grieg has chosen to refract a number of positions through his cast of two, and the community choir.
The result is an audience that remains distanced from the emotional impact of the action; an alienating technique that enables the play to take the form of a Socratic dialogue between the two actors. This is developed further in brief, direct interventions with the community choir, who often resemble a Greek chorus providing commentary on the action.
Claire (Neve McIntosh) is the community's priest who set up the choir that was the focal point of the events, and who acts as a mirror to the audience in looking for answers and explanations for the Boy's actions. Rudi Dharmalingham plays the Boy – always nameless – and all the other characters in the play.
Claire is on a redemptive quest to find understanding in the Boy's actions in the belief that doing so will liberate her from a perceived survivor's guilt. The audience follows her through brief, fragmentary scenes, as Claire tries to gain answers that will provide some form of justification for the events rather than them appearing a senseless act of brutality from which survival was little more than pure luck.
However Claire's crisis of faith (in both the secular and religious world) helps to shape the deeper narrative, which is a dialogue that sets out the precariousness of modern liberalism when it comes under an extreme and sustained attack. As a lesbian priest with partner and penchant for homemade bread, Claire may be something of a liberal caricature but in her belief and values Claire is reflective of the country that many of the university-educated, metropolitan middle-class assumes Britain to be.

He said, "use apt, as apt-get is being replaced with apt on 16.04"
Is this really true? I couldn't find evidence of this on Google.

A: Right now you can use both apt & apt-get, while apt has received a lot of developer love in the past weeks/month.
Therefore, apt now comes with a progress bar, coloring, etc.
It does not fully replace apt-get so far, but will most likely in the future.  So in the long-term it might make sense to get used to apt as well and not rely only on apt-get.
In addition, please see the question If apt-get was replaced by just apt, as it covers this topic already.

Several years ago I became interested in the physical aspects of the passion, or suffering, of Jesus Christ when I read an account of the crucifixion in Jim Bishop's book, The Day Christ Died. I suddenly realized that I had taken the crucifixion more or less for granted all these years - that I had grown callous to its horror by a too-easy familiarity with the grim details. It finally occurred to me that, as a physician, I did not even know the actual immediate cause of Christ's death. The gospel writers do not help much on this point. Since crucifixion and scourging were so common during their lifetimes, they undoubtedly considered a detailed description superfluous. For that reason we have only the concise words of the evangelists: "Pilate, having scourged Jesus, delivered Him to them to be crucified ... and they crucified Him." Despite the gospel accounts' silence on the details of Christ's crucifixion, many have looked into this subject in the past. In my personal study of the event from a medical viewpoint, I am indebted especially to Dr. Pierre Barbet, a French surgeon who did exhaustive historical and experimental research and wrote extensively on the topic.
An attempt to examine the infinite psychic and spiritual suffering of the Incarnate1 God in atonement 2 for the sins of fallen man is beyond the scope of this article. However, the physiological and anatomical aspects of our Lord's passion we can examine in some detail. What did the body of Jesus of Nazareth actually endure during those hours of torture?
Preparations for Jesus' scourging were carried out at Caesar's orders. The prisoner was stripped of His clothing and His hands tied to a post above His head. The Roman legionnaire stepped forward with the flagrum, or flagellum, in his hand. This was a short whip consisting of several heavy, leather thongs with two small balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy whip was brought down with full force again and again across Jesus' shoulders, back and legs. At first the weighted thongs cut through the skin only. Then, as the blows continued, they cut deeper into the subcutaneous tissues, producing first an oozing of blood from the capillaries and veins of the skin and finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in the underlying muscles.
The half-fainting Jesus was then untied and allowed to slump to the stone pavement, wet with his own blood. The Roman soldiers saw a great joke in this provincial Jew claiming to be a king. They threw a robe across His shoulders and placed a stick in His hand for a scepter. They still needed a crown to make their travesty complete. Small flexible branches covered with long thorns, commonly used for kindling fires in the charcoal braziers in the courtyard, were plaited in the shape of a crude crown. The crown was pressed into his scalp and again there was copious bleeding as the thorns pierced the very vascular tissue. After mocking Him and striking Him across the face, the soldiers took the stick from His hand and struck Him across the head, driving the thorns deeper in His scalp. Finally, they tired of their sadistic sport and tore the robe from His back. The robe had already become adherent to the clots of blood and serum in the wounds, and its removal, just as in the careless removal of a surgical bandage, caused excruciating pain. The wounds again began to bleed.
In deference to Jewish custom, the Romans apparently returned His garments. The heavy patibulum3 of the cross was tied across His shoulders. The procession of the condemned Christ, two thieves, and the execution detail of Roman soldiers headed by a centurion began its slow journey along the route which we know today as the Via Dolorosa.
In spite of Jesus' efforts to walk erect, the weight of the heavy wooden beam, together with the shock produced by copious loss of blood, was too much. He stumbled and fell. The rough wood of the beam gouged into the lacerated skin and muscles of the shoulders. He tried to rise, but human muscles had been pushed beyond their endurance. The centurion, anxious to proceed with the crucifixion, selected a stalwart North African onlooker, Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross. Jesus followed, still bleeding and sweating the cold, clammy sweat of shock. The 650-yard journey from the Fortress Antonia to Golgotha was finally completed. The prisoner was again stripped of His clothing except for a loin cloth which was allowed the Jews.
The crucifixion began. Jesus was offered wine mixed with myrrh, a mild analgesic, pain-reliving mixture. He refused the drink. Simon was ordered to place the patibulum on the ground, and Jesus was quickly thrown backward, with His shoulders against the wood. The legionnaire felt for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drove a heavy, square wrought-iron nail through the wrist and deep into the wood. Quickly, he moved to the other side and repeated the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flexion and movement. The patibulum was then lifted into place at the top of the stipes4, and the titulus5 reading "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" was nailed into place.
As Jesus slowly sagged down with more weight on the nails in the wrist, excruciating, fiery pain shot along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain. The nails in the wrists were putting pressure on the median nerve, large nerve trunks which traverse the mid-wrist and hand. As He pushed himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, He placed His full weight on the nail through His feet. Again there was searing agony as the nail tore through the nerves between the metatarsal bones of his feet.
The first - looking down at the Roman soldiers throwing dice6 for His seamless garment: "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do."
The second - to the penitent thief7: "Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise."
The prophecy in Psalm 22:14 was being fulfilled: "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint, my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels."
The end was rapidly approaching. The loss of tissue fluids had reached a critical level; the compressed heart was struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood to the tissues, and the tortured lungs were making a frantic effort to inhale small gulps of air. The markedly dehydrated tissues sent their flood of stimuli to the brain. Jesus gasped His fifth cry: "I thirst." Again we read in the prophetic psalm: "My strength is dried up like a potsherd; my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou has brought me into the dust of death" (Psalm 22:15 KJV).
A sponge soaked in posca, the cheap, sour wine that was the staple drink of the Roman legionnaires, was lifted to Jesus' lips. His body was now in extremis, and He could feel the chill of death creeping through His tissues. This realization brought forth His sixth word, possibly little more than a tortured whisper: "It is finished." His mission of atonement9 had completed. Finally, He could allow His body to die. With one last surge of strength, He once again pressed His torn feet against the nail, straightened His legs, took a deeper breath, and uttered His seventh and last cry: "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."
Apparently, the make doubly sure of death, the legionnaire drove his lance between the ribs, upward through the pericardium and into the heart. John 19:34 states, "And immediately there came out blood and water." Thus there was an escape of watery fluid from the sac surrounding the heart and the blood of the interior of the heart. This is rather conclusive post-mortem evidence that Jesus died, not the usual crucifixion death by suffocation, but of heart failure due to shock and constriction of the heart by fluid in the pericardium.
In these events, we have seen a glimpse of the epitome of evil that man can exhibit toward is fellowman and toward God. This is an ugly sight and is likely to leave us despondent and depressed.
But the crucifixion was not the end of the story. How grateful we can be that we have a sequel: a glimpse of the infinite mercy of God toward man - - the gift of atonement, the miracle of the resurrection, and the expectation of Easter morning.

Editors' note: If Jesus had remained dead, Christianity would be nothing but an empty promise. But three days after His death, He rose again from the dead. This is the miracle of resurrection, which is what Christians celebrate at Easter. To learn more about the resurrection, read John chapter 20 and 21.

2161 Walker Solomon Way
Site of Seeger's Brewery
In the nineteenth century, the Seegers family owned several dozen acres bounded by Elmwood Avenue, Barhamville Road, and the Southern Railroad tracks—land that is now occupied by Drew Park (originally called Seegers Park) and residential streets. The Seeger family operated a farm on this acreage and established a brewery in the 1850s. Built circa 1852, the original brewery building was described as a "frame oblong building with four rooms and cellars beneath." A three-story brick addition was added later.

Business petered out during the Civil War and remained all but inoperative until John Conrad Seegers re-established the country brewery in 1895. Seegers advertised his high grade German beers—Bergner & Engels Tanhauser, Christian Moerlein—in The State, and delivered crates of the beer to city patrons. Seegers' beer business was discontinued in the early 20th century, though for decades afterward the property was still referred to locally as the "Old Seegers Brewery." When fire destroyed it in late November of 1928, the old brewery building was serving as a storage place for hay, seeds and old furniture.
J.C. Seegers' sister and her husband, W.G. Allworden, lived on the Seegers property and owned a house which survived the fire, and the family continued to live there and operate a small farm until the 1940s. In 1944, Dr. Samuel Higgins, president of Allen University, purchased and moved into the home. In the same year, the city of Columbia acquired ten acres of the old Seegers property for the purpose of creating an African American park—what would become Drew Park—and private development established a new subdivision of "high class" African-American residences on the remaining acreage.

The Management Board
In late 2004, at the initiative of Clubture Network / Alliance of Associations from Zagreb, the independent cultural organizations from the former Yugoslavia initiated a pilot project which grew into a long standing Clubture's Regional Initiative Programme. Through various gatherings, joint projects and programme exchange this initiative has connected more than a hundred organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Serbia. In the period from 2005 to 2007 a pilot phase of the regional programme exchange and collaboration project was prepared and implemented, which helped to build an informal collaborative platform based on the same principles as the Clubture Network in Croatia.
In the first, pilot phase of the implementation of collaborative projects, nineteen organizations participated in eight different collaborative projects, within which thirty-three public events were held in all the given countries. Results were achieved in the area of networking of organizations, distribution of cultural and artistic content in different areas and for different audiences. Thus, in 2006-2007 pilot phase eight different collaborative programmes were implemented though the platform:
Device Art, which promoted art inspired by new technologies and was jointly carried out by KONTEJNER – Bureau of Contemporary Art Practice from Zagreb, O3ONE from Belgrade and Kapelica Gallery from Ljubljana.
The Fama Programme was based on contemporary practice in the performing arts, and it was carried out by The Centre for Drama Art – CDU from Zagreb, Maska from Ljubljana and Walking Theory (Teorija koja hoda) - TkH from Belgrade.
The Stolen Idea, programme that promoted collaboration between Croatian and Serbian visual artists, was jointly organized by the Močvara Gallery / Association for Development of Culture – URK, Zagreb and Remont from Belgrade.
The Electronic.Pact.2005.Tour promoted electronic music and it was carried out by [mamatronic] – Multimedia Institute [mi2] from Zagreb and partners: KUD Kataman from Ljubljana and Belgradeyard Soundsystem / Dis-patch Initiative from Belgrade.
The Coalition of Youth Associations – KUM from Split, with partners, the International Centre for Children and Youth New Sarajevo from Sarajevo and KUD Network from Ljubljana, carried out the programme titled S – S, which primarily connected the independent cultural scenes of Split and Sarajevo.
The Information Agency – AGI from Osijek and Digital Culture from Subotica jointly carried out the Renaissance Platform Programme – Step 2, within which they organized various activities in the sphere of ecological activism and enabled the exchange between the independent scenes of Subotica and Osijek.
Human Rights Film Festival – Regional Platform, was jointly carried out by the Association for Development of Culture – URK and Multimedia Institute [mi2] from Zagreb and Free Zone / B92 from Belgrade
Explicit Music Session, an experimental music programme jointly carried out by the Multimedia Institute [mi2] from Zagreb and Chinch from Belgrade.
Aside from the aforementioned partners, other organizations in numerous other cities also participated as programme hosts. Public events took place in nine different cities in the region: Zagreb, Valpovo, Dubrovnik, Split (Croatia); Belgrade, Subotica (Serbia); Sarajevo, Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Ljubljana (Slovenia).
The implementation of pilot programme covered a wide and varied range of different activities, forms of organization and geographic definitions. Through joint work in this platform the participating organization have developed collaborative potentials or improved the existing collaborations. This transferred the values and principles of programme networking, which for the first time took hold in practice within the organizations from several countries. Through the exchange of information, knowledge and specific skills and by refreshing its own ideas through contributions from various other contexts, Clubture's Regional Initiative has encouraged many to take a proactive stance in their local communities and inspired other individuals and cultural organizations to form networks or platforms. Despite the enthusiasm of gathered organizations, programme exchange and collaboration project was not sustainable due to local and international obstacles to the provision of finance. Namely, the support to the regional cooperation was not high on the priority list of the countries in the region in the post-war period, while the international donor institutions and organizations focused mainly on other trouble spots in the world.
From 2008 the network focused on joint action towards decision-makers to advocate positive changes and development of sustainable model of cooperation on the independent cultural scene in the region and towards the EU. From 2009 until 2011 a public consultation process, called Exit Europe, was implemented. The central event was the international conference Exit Europe – New Geographies of Culture, held in Zagreb in November 2009. It was preceded by two pre-conference events organized in Sarajevo and Skopje in October the same year. In an extensive discussion, those events critically reviewed the parallel processes of defining European cultural policies and the expansion of the Union to the countries of the region from the perspective of the independent cultural scene. A visible result of those joint efforts referred to the drafting of and advocating for the Position paper of Policy Recommendations aimed at the cultural decision-makers at the EU, national and local levels. The independent cultural scene brought to their attention the need to adopt measures to encourage the cultural development of the countries in the region and improve their reintegration into the common European space. Likewise, the recommendations offered a number of specific suggestions, the implementation of which would enable the development of independent culture and encourage the realization of collaborative projects, as well as lasting partnerships between organizations in the region, and with partners in the rest of Europe. In September 2011 a multilingual publication Exit Europe – New Geographies of Europe was published; a book that positions the activity of independent cultural scene within a wider cultural and social context. It gives an overview of the development of independent cultural scenes in 5 countries, as well as a broad overview of the development of regional cultural cooperation among independent organizations.
In the same period of 2011 the Open Society Foundation and Swiss Cultural Programme in the Western Balkans in Sarajevo organized an international conference "Facing the Past. Creating the Future". This event brought together numerous cultural workers and activists from the region interested in the development of regional cooperation, as well as the organizations active within the scope of informal platform. The gathered representatives of the organizations reached a common conclusion - it is necessary to establish a stable, long-term and sustainable framework for the cooperation of independent cultural organizations from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, organizations that develop contemporary and new artistic practices, critical public discourse and innovative organizational models. The majority of participants at the conference supported the idea, including the group that initiated the conference. After the conference, the participating organizations continued to work on the development of this initiative and they gathered into an informal Working Group to agree on the principles of action and a way to organize the future platform for regional cooperation. In the first part of 2012 the general structure of the future platform was defined, as well as the steps in the process and basic elements of the model of cooperation.

Mark has done some research and found that sunflower seeds are a good food source for the pigs and even the cows. Currently we are planting an entire field of sunflowers, but for a trial we planted them around the garden.
If we have anything we have pigs!!!
