IT-Governance is a concept which suddenly emerged and has become an important question in the field of information technologies. It is the tool of the managers of companies in order to have information within an extremely short time. As a result, they have a competitive advantage on the market. In the chapter on IT-Governance, we deal in detail with all MupEx's skills in this field. In short, CIOs (Chief Information Officer) also refer to it as an important priority of management in corporate management.

Paul Viktor Neugebauer (* 5. Dezember 1878 in Breslau; † 3. März 1940 in Wernigerode) war ein deutscher Astronom.

Paul Viktor Neugebauer war Sohn des Oberlehrers Paul Neugebauer und seiner Ehefrau Valeska (geb. Groetschel). Er schloss das Gymnasium 1897 mit dem Reifezeugnis ab und studierte anschließend an der Breslauer Universität Astronomie, Mathematik und Physik. Im Jahre 1900 beendete er das Studium mit einer Dissertation zur Störungsrechnung.

Sein Vater hatte bereits lange Jahre hindurch als auswärtiger Mitarbeiter Berechnungen für das Astronomische Rechen-Institut in Berlin ausgeführt. Im Jahre 1901 trat Neugebauer eine Stelle als wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft am Rechen-Institut an. Sein Arbeitsgebiet waren zunächst die Kleinplaneten, für welche erste Bahnbestimmungen, Bahnverbesserungen, Störungsrechnungen, definitive Bahnbestimmungen und die Berechnung von Ephemeriden durchzuführen waren. Ab 1911 übernahm er die Redaktion des vom Rechen-Institut herausgegebenen Astronomischen Jahresberichts, von dem er bis 1935 insgesamt 17 Jahrgänge herausgab – mit einer mehrjährigen Unterbrechung durch den Kriegsdienst und vorübergehende  Arbeiten über Kleinplaneten sowie für das Berliner Astronomische Jahrbuch. 1914 wurde Neugebauer zum Observator ernannt, 1924 erhielt er die Amtsbezeichnung Professor.

Neben seinen dienstlichen Verpflichtungen bearbeitete Neugebauer auch chronologische Themen. Da die von Astronomen benutzten Tafeln zur Berechnung der Sonnen-, Mond- und Planetenbewegungen für die Benutzung durch Historiker einerseits zu kompliziert, andererseits unnötig genau waren, erstellte Neugebauer vereinfachte Tafeln für historische und chronologische Zwecke. Er gab 1904/1905 zunächst "Abgekürzte Tafeln der Sonne und der großen Planeten", "Abgekürzte Tafeln des Mondes" sowie "Tafeln zur Berechnung der Auf- und Untergänge der Gestirne" heraus. Eine bald notwendige Neuauflage erschien in völlig überarbeiteter und stark erweiterter Form als "Tafeln zur astronomischen Chronologie" in 3 Bänden. Es folgten das  Lehrbuch "Astronomische Chronologie" in zwei Bänden, die "Hilfstafeln zur technischen Chronologie" und andere chronologische Veröffentlichungen.

Neugebauer beteiligte sich tatkräftig an Arbeiten zum "Neuen Fundamentalkatalog" von J. Peters, an verschiedenen großen Tafelwerken, an Hermann von Struves Satellitentheorien, an Bestimmungen von Doppelsternbahnen für Wilhelm Oswald Lohse und an der Störungsrechnung der Bieliden. Darüber hinaus befasste er sich mit wissenschaftlich-technischer Photographie, betrieb botanische Studien und legte eine Gesteinssammlung an.

Test, Trace, Protect is a government-funded service in Wales, first published on 13 May 2020 by the Welsh Government to track and help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Its aim is to "enhance health surveillance in the community, undertake effective and extensive contact tracing, and support people to self-isolate".

The service was published on 13 May 2020, two weeks before the 'Test and Trace' scheme in England. It is the responsibility of the Health and Social Services Minister in the Welsh Government, Eluned Morgan; though the scheme was launched by the previous Health Minister, Vaughan Gething, on 1 June 2020.

It is delivered by a number of partners working together to contain the spread of the virus: Public Health Wales, Welsh local health boards, Welsh local authorities, the NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS) and others.

The service provides temporary sites where samples are taken from individuals, processes the samples at a newly created network of laboratories throughout Wales and further afield, and communicates the results.

Pre-May 2020 testing in Wales
On 28 March 2020 the BBC reported that a major COVID-19 test deal for Wales had apparently collapsed. By June, after a Freedom of Information Request (FoIR), the Welsh Government announced that they refused to publish correspondence as to why the deal with pharmaceutical Roche
had collapsed. Whitehall sources blamed Roche, which "appeared to want to prioritise the bigger of two orders - one NHS in England, the other by the Welsh Government - leading Roche to cancel the 5,000 daily tests to Wales.

However, after a second FoIR by Channel 4 News the relevant emails were published, whereby Tracey Cooper, CEO of Public Health Wales, said that there was a deal in place with Swiss firm Roche to provide 5,000 extra tests a day, but that it was sunk due to pressure from the UK Government. She said that the finger of blame points directly at the UK Government, "as they clearly prioritised the use of a company's testing for the purposes of England's allocation". Subsequently, the daily tests received in Wales, as part of a UK-wide rollout, was less than 500. On the day the disclosure was made public, Adam Price, leader of Plaid Cymru said that, "This is nothing short of a national scandal that shows the extent to which Westminster treats Wales with contempt. We urgently need answers as to why the Labour Welsh government chose to stay silent instead of speaking out against the harmful actions of the Tory UK government." A Department of Health England spokesperson refuted the accusation.

Testing
Testing involves people who have symptoms, while they self-isolate and request a test. If the person has one coronavirus symptom e.g. a new continuous cough, high temperature or loss or change in smell or taste then that person will need to take a test within 5-days. This can be done in a number of ways including:
 self-testing
 booking a test online
 by telephone

The testing can be done in one of four ways and is available for all adults and children. The test involves taking a swab of the inside of the nose and from the back of the throat, using a long cotton bud.

One of the Lighthouse Labs testing facilities is Newport – PerkinElmer, and supported by the Welsh Government. An overall continuum of the three main elements of the service is the NHS COVID-19 app for Wales, which is slightly different from the one for England and is administered by Public Health Wales.

Self testing
In March 2021, the Welsh Government published a series of videos on self-testing:

Tracing
This part of the service involves tracing people who have been in contact with an infected person, asking them to then self-isolate for 14 days. An infected person is required to share details of people who have been in close contact with up to 2 days before other symptoms started, including:
 face-to-face contacts and conversation at a distance of less than 1 metre or who have had skin-to-skin physical contact with or coughed on
 someone who has been within 2 metres of the infected person for more than 15 minutes e.g. at the workplace
 a person who has travelled in a small vehicle, or someone who has been seated nearby on public transport.

Protecting
The final part is about protecting the community, especially key workers, older people and the most vulnerable. This service includes providing guidance, particularly if the person who has symptoms or their contacts are in the shielding group or the at-risk group, as well as advice. The infected person is then passed on to the local authority and may be eligible for a £500 payment as a result of loss of earnings.

Other countries in the United Kingdom
Similar programmes were put in place in the other countries of the UK. Northern Ireland became the first constituent country to reintroduce contact tracing when, on 23 April 2020, its Chief Medical Officer, Michael McBride, announced that a scheme was "active". Following a pilot, the system became fully operational in Northern Ireland on Monday 18 May. Northern Ireland was the first part of the UK to launch a contact-tracing app, which was launched on 30 July. The app runs on both IOS and Android operating systems, but the developer said that it would not work on iPhone 6 or older Apple devices.

Plans for Test & Protect, a contact tracing service in Scotland, were published by the Scottish Government on 26 May 2020, and it was launched on 28 May, shortly after NHS Test and Trace went live; a companion app 'Protect Scotland' was launched to the public on 10 September.

The service in England is called NHS Test and Trace and started two weeks after the service in Wales.

Busy work days, seemingly never-ending responsibilities, and overflowing calendars. I commonly hear from professionals who struggle to keep up. Long to-do lists can be exhausting or lead to burnout. Scheduling downtime and self-care is also a challenge when deadlines and responsibilities loom.
1. Organize your to-do list and set priorities.
When you have a lot of tasks, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. Stay organized and accountable by making a list of everything you need to get done. Once your list is complete, consider what needs the most attention, how much time each task may take, and which items can wait. Select a few to focus on immediately. It may feel frustrating knowing some lower-priority tasks will not get done right away, but remind yourself that you will soon make time for them.
2. Check your boundaries and identify what to say no to.
Looking at your list, are there items that overextend you or that put you at risk of burnout? Are there any tasks you can ask someone else to help with? It's noble to want to do it all, but if your health or the completion of another task could be jeopardized, consider passing.
3. Schedule "appointments" for tasks to reduce distraction or procrastination.
You've prioritized your list and it's time to get to work. Schedule your day as if each task has its own appointment. If you know you have a few meetings or other appointments during the day, plan the tasks around those.
4. Set a timer and focus for periods of time.
Sometimes, focusing on one task for several hours at a time can make it difficult to maintain momentum. Expecting to start a task and not stop until it is finished can encourage procrastination. Think about the effort it takes for certain tasks and if you can spread it out over a few days. Within your scheduled appointment time, try to work in brief, regular intervals of attention. For example, if you plan to work for two hours on a task, set a timer for intervals of 20 minutes at a time and focus on that project only during the intervals. After the 20 minutes is up, consider a brief break, no longer than 5 minutes. After your break, set the timer for another interval of 20 minutes. Repeat until your 2-hour appointment is over.
5. Schedule regular breaks and make them count.
Allowing brief and longer breaks that take you away from work for the moment can help you maintain energy and focus while working. Eat lunch away from your desk, go for a walk, check your personal email, or practice a 10-minute mindfulness meditation. When you leave work at the end of the day, leave it all there until you return.
6. Create incentives to stay motivated.
The feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a task is a great experience. However, getting started can be difficult. Get creative and think of ways you can reward yourself after you meet your goal. Some people consistently put a few dollars in a jar after finishing a daily task and at the end of the week/month spend it on whatever they like. Others may plan to watch their favorite television show only after two hours of studying for an exam. Some like to create a vision board and use colors or stickers when a job is done. Think of incentives that can help keep you motivated—and follow through on rewarding yourself.
7. Be flexible, not perfect.
When something doesn't go as planned, adjust your strategy and keep moving. You may have to rewrite your plan or follow it loosely. Think of your plan as more guide than requirement.
Envision yourself accomplishing your goals. Visualize your plan being carried out and imagine the feelings of accomplishment you will experience.
If nothing seems to work, consider contacting a therapist who can help you figure out what's getting in your way.
How Can We Support Our Loved Ones Without Burning Out?
I wish I could follow-through with #5, but it's so easy to get distracted on a break, and then I forget to go back to work on my project!
I feel ya!! Having ADHD doesn't help. If I don't power through a task from start to finish, forget about it.

Golub Doknić (; * 16. April 1982 in Vrbas, Sozialistische Republik Serbien, SFR Jugoslawien)  ist ein österreichischer Handballtorwart serbisch-montenegrinischer Herkunft.

Karriere
Der 1,95 Meter große Torwart begann seine Karriere beim Heimatklub RK Vrbas. Er war Mitglied der Junioren-Nationalmannschaft der BR Jugoslawien, die 2002 bei der U-20-Handball-Europameisterschaft der Männer in Polen die Bronzemedaille gewann.

Ab 2005 konnte er mit dem RK Vardar Skopje im EHF Challenge Cup seine erste internationale Erfahrung sammeln. Nachdem er 2006 den mazedonischen Cup gewinnen konnte, qualifizierte er sich für die Saison 2006/07 für den Cup Winners Cup.

Mit Start der Saison 2007/08 wechselte er nach Italien zum AS Pallamano Conversano, mit welchem er zweimal am EHF-Cup teilnahm.

2008 spielte er für die Montenegrinische Männer-Handballnationalmannschaft bei der Europameisterschaft. Er nahm auch an vier Qualifikationsturnieren (Weltmeisterschaften 2009 und 2011, Europameisterschaften 2010 und 2012) teil, hauptsächlich als ein Ersatztorhüter.

2009/10 sowie 2010/11 spielte er für den serbischen Klub RK Kolubara, mit welchem er jeweils das Double aus Meistertitel und Cup-Sieg holen konnte.

Mit Beginn der Saison 2011/12 wechselte er nach Österreich zum Alpla HC Hard, welcher an der Handball Liga Austria teilnimmt. In der ersten Saison mit den Vorarlbergern konnte er sich auf Anhieb den Meistertitel sichern, im Cup scheiterte man im Viertelfinale am Handballclub Fivers Margareten. Zusätzlich wurde Doknić von der Liga als Legionär des Jahres ausgezeichnet.

Durch den Meistertitel nahm man in der Saison 2012/13 am Qualifikationsturnier für die EHF Champions League teil, scheiterte dort und war zur Teilnahme am EHF-Cup berechtigt. Dort schied man jedoch gegen HK Motor Saporischschja aus. In dieser Saison konnte man den Titel im Finale gegen die Fivers aus Wien verteidigen, im Cup scheiterte man im Finale hingegen an den Hauptstädtern. Nach dieser Spielzeit wurde der Torwart erneut als Legionär des Jahres geehrt.

Nachdem es international gleich lief wie in der Saison zuvor konnte Doknić 2014 nun auch seinen ersten ÖHB-Cup Sieg mit den Hardern feiern. So revanchierte man sich für die Finalniederlage des Vorjahres bei den Wienern. 2018 folgte ein zweiter ÖHB-Cupsieg, 2020/21 ein 5. Österreichischer Meistertitel mit Alpla HC Hard.

Sonstiges
In zwei Spielen hat der Torwart ein Tor aus dem Rückraum erzielt, einmal im Finale der HLA 2012 gegen HIT Innsbruck und das zweite Mal in einem Spiel des Grunddurchgangs 2012/13 gegen das ULZ Schwaz.

Tim O'Reilly has invented a time machine. Not the H.G. Wells version, but an intellectual time shifter that briefly brings back some of the inventive magic of Silicon Valley's past. Last month he offered me a ride. It was a vivid reminder of what made Silicon Valley great--and a tempting promise of things to come.
The Internet changed all that, raining so much money on the Valley that business plans washed away chip diagrams. But O'Reilly is still inspired by ideas, not cash. And so he's made his Foo Camps a place for starting conversations, not generating business leads.
In August, O'Reilly, in conjunction with Nature magazine and with support from Google , convened the first SciFoo: A gathering of about 200 carefully picked scientists, pundits and writers. The broad mandate was to discuss emerging science and science policy ideas, particularly ones that have been supercharged by the Internet or other vast database technology. That was it. No agenda, no keynote speakers, no public relations crews and no trade floor booths. People came to stir up ideas. And as far as I could tell, everyone went home thinking about something different from when they arrived.
SciFoo was held at the memorably indulgent Googleplex, in Mountain View, Calif., where the cafeteria is lavish, the bathrooms feature high-tech toilets with warm seats and nozzles for squirting water at delicate spots, and a glassed-in laundry room offers employees a chance to take a personal hygiene break.
Many of the SciFoo "campers" were the people that other conferences are built around: Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and inventor of Berkeley UNIX; Danny Hillis, co-founder of Thinking Machines, one of the first massively parallel supercomputers; Esther Dyson, long-time technology pundit and now venture capitalist; the Google duo, Larry and Sergey, along with their new compatriot, Larry Brilliant, who helped squash smallpox and is now running the billion-dollar Google Foundation; and Donald Hopkins, who directs health programs at the Carter Center and is leading the fight to eradicate guinea worm disease.
O'Reilly's team plopped a big whiteboard in a common area just outside the Google cafeteria and suggested that people sign up to give presentations on their work or host a session on a topic they find interesting. The board filled quickly with topics such as managing enormously complex datasets, fighting pandemic diseases, teaching science to children, building robots and studying the history of technology. Some sessions attracted dozens of people, others just a handful. In every case, however, I saw some of high-tech's big names listening and brainstorming with people they had never met before the conference.
One researcher described the change in the way the World Health Organization tracks emerging potential epidemics, due in part to a tiny Canadian organization called Global Public Health Intelligence Network. Since the most effective way to derail an epidemic is to catch it early, the WHO relies on countries to report the health trends they've detected within in their own borders. But GPHIN has sped up detection enormously by also sifting stories and Web sites from global media sources, using carefully chosen keywords. Stories that use the term "dead birds" and "dead nurses," for instance, may indicate an outbreak of avian flu.
Now imagine expanding that kind of Internet trolling to include many more sources, starting with personal blogs. What would researchers see? Who should get the findings? How reliable would they be? What if people tried to send out misleading information?
Another researcher proposed creating an even earlier flu warning system by using low-cost sensor chips to test for a thousand strains of different viruses. The chips could be put in health clinics around the world and the data could be fed into a central organization. Could that kind of mesh help researchers catch--and quash--epidemics? Again, who would get to see the data? What if it missed a virus?
In another conversation, researchers described projects that collect information from webs of tiny sensors, measuring everything from ocean currents to lightning strikes, and then plot the data on global maps, such as Google Earth. (For example, see Biltzortung.org for data on lightning strikes in Europe or Ogle Earth for a blog about using Google Earth maps.) What else could be mapped? Where else are people gathering data? What happens when databases are fused together--say, mapping demographic or income tax data onto local maps?
Getting nonscientists excited about science was another favorite topic. One intriguing approach is a new series of comic books, slated to come out early next year. Saul Griffith, an alum of the Media Lab at M.I.T., has been developing what he calls "HowToons," an adventure series in which kids design cool gadgets. (See Instructables or check Amazon.com.) Griffith gives kids, with a bit of help from adults, step-by-step instructions on how to make cool gadgets, including marshmallow shooters and rocket ships. Will Griffith's work inspire kids to detach themselves from computer monitors and head to the garage?
The conversations continued long into the evening. Future collaborations were forged; proposals began to germinate. Guessing what real change might come from such a meeting is harder than pinning down a cloud. But surely, without such conversations, innovation would happen more slowly.


These photos of the 1987 Doctor Who American Celebration and tour were donated by Clem Urban. This incarnation of the tour was in Birmingham, Alabama on the 28th of February 1987.
Clem's recollections of the day.
" If you notice, Jon signed my program "Doc 3". I don't know if this was typical, but I think it may have been from a joke between us earlier in the day. When first introduced, this at-the-time new Doctor Who fan called him "Doc". Jon jokingly admonished me that that was NOT the way it was said in England! I really liked him, very nice guy.
It was an overcast day with a threat of rain, which is why the top is up on "Bessie". Most pics I've seen have her top down.
I was told the dent that can be seen on the top of the trailer in the back is because the driver tried to go under a bridge that was too low for the trailer."
Thanks for Sharing your visit with us Clem!

Jean Mieg (1791-1862)

Signed lower right "Mieg fec[it]."
Black chalk and brown wash, heightened with white
On buff paper
Considering what an important aspect of the Grand Tour the experience of different cuisines must have been, it is remarkable how few depictions there are of local delicacies being prepared in an authentic fashion. Here the French artist Jean Mieg portrays a humble woman next to her children beside the Bay of Naples, blowing coals with a palm-frond fan as she prepares Carciofi Arrostiti (Roasted Artichokes). We can be certain of this being a Neapolitan scene because the distinctive profile of Mount Vesuvius is smoking in the background. The artist has mirrored the smoke emerging from the volcano with that rising from the brazier.
Jean Mieg heralded from Mulhouse in Alsace-Lorraine, the eleventh and youngest child of Mathieu Mieg, a prominent and successful textile manufacturer of Swiss descent. The Mieg family lived in a grand residence in the middle of Mulhouse (now a historic monument known as Mason Mieg). Supported by his father "who dreamed of making him a great painter", Jean attended l'École nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1807 and afterwards made the customary journey to Italy in around 1814, possibly travelling with fellow artist James Pradier (1790-1852). During Napoleon's regime History Painting was especially encouraged, but Meig seems to have been less interested in academic styles than in recording ordinary everyday scenes (it was not until 1817 that the first Prix de Rome was awarded for landscape painting). By 1818 Mieg had returned to Mulhouse where, along with his brother Jean-Georges, he became more occupied with his family's textile business, Mathieu Mieg & Fils, and seems to have largely forsaken painting. A number of his drawings, however, were used by the pioneering lithographer Godefroy Engelmann (1788–1839) (also from Mulhouse) as the basis for illustrations in his "Manufactures du Haut-Rhin" (an historically important series of lithographic portraits of factories, issued between 1822 and 1825).
Artichokes roasted on charcoals are a particular delicacy of the Campania region of Italy and they are especially associated with Naples. Indeed, this method of preparing artichokes is often referred to as "Carciofi Arrostiti alla Napoletana" ("Neopolitan-Style Roasted Artichokes"). In Campania they are eaten throughout the spring but they are the signature dish of Pasquetta (the Easter Monday holiday). Though the techniques used in this drawing show a debt to neoclassicism, and particularly to Jacques-Louis David's drawing style, Meig has given the gravity of his academic training to a lowly culinary subject. Whilst in Italy, Meig appears to have been particularly fascinated by cuisine, the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Mulhouse, holds a painting by him of an Italian market [Fig 1] which is unusual and ahead of its time for being an almost unique depiction of early 19th Century "street food" - with a pasta-seller serving spaghetti from a stall. That painting is also identifiable as a scene in Naples as the twin peaks of Monte Somma and Vesuvius are again in the background. The lady and two children to the left of the Mulhouse painting (particularly the shabbily dressed boy in his distinctive cap) appear to be the same figures depicted in the drawing here and the upturned rectangular woven basket, on which the woman sits, also seems identical to the one being used as a seat in the Mulhouse spaghetti-vendor scene.

Anthony Davis is disruptive force on defense in Game 4 win

Lakers' Anthony Davis gets a pass off in front of Miami Heat's Andre Iguodala in the second quarter in Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Orlando on Tuesday. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)
Frank Vogel couldn't sleep.

The Lakers coach had just lost in the NBA Finals for the first time, the emotions tearing up his insides like gas station sushi. After two hours, he woke up and got back to work.
"The film is always therapy," Vogel said. "The answers are in the tape."

It was then, around 3:30 a.m. on Monday that Vogel started to craft the decision that has the Lakers on the cusp of their 17th NBA title after a 102-96 victory Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler scored 40 points in Game 3, shooting over or running through all of the defenders the Lakers tried.
When LeBron James started possessions guarding Butler, he switched off without much fight, and Butler hunted out players such as Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
It was all there, right in front of Vogel's tired eyes.

His reverence for game film is no secret. He, like Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, began his professional coaching career in that department, cutting and studying hours and hours of film.
He knew the Lakers needed to be bigger, that his defense had to push more into Butler. Anthony Davis, Markieff Morris and James were the best bets to do it. All three have size, strength and agility.
"Anyone else," Vogel told his team, "and we're not switching onto Butler."
Davis would get the starting assignment because Vogel thinks he's the best defender in the world. But it wasn't that simple.
In Game 3, he was a wreck, with early foul trouble derailing his feel for the game. Davis played only 11 minutes in the first half, and finished the game with 15 points and zero impression on the outcome.
"Coming off a game where AD had massive foul trouble, that was a hard decision to put him on him at the start of the game because I was concerned it could happen again," Vogel said. "That would've screwed up the whole game."
Butler started hot. He made his first five shots in the quarter, single-handedly keeping the Heat in the game (along with the Lakers' turnover problems). But the Lakers kept pressing along with the plan, making sure Davis, James and Morris spent as much time connected to Butler as possible.
He missed his next seven shots.
"I just tried to be locked into him," Davis said.
Even while he was pulled away from the basket on Butler, Davis found his way to the rim, where his presence is unmatched.
Early in the game, Tyler Herro had a breakaway and just Davis' presence trailing the play forced a miss.
Yes, he blocked four shots, but there were probably four more that Miami didn't take in the paint just because Davis was around. After one unnecessary kickout, Andre Iguodala, who just passed up an open dunk, looked in Davis' direction after the play as if to say, "I thought you were right here."
It's why the Lakers felt so passionately that Davis, not Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, should have been the NBA's defensive player of the year.
"We said that all year because of his ability to guard one through five, guard anybody out on the floor, take the challenge and not only guard on the perimeter but continue to protect the paint,» Vogel said. «Guards drive on him and it's hard to score. … The guy can do everything defensively."
Butler finished with 22 points, and though he was one assist away from another triple-double, he didn't control the game as he did Sunday.
"It was very easy for him. The floor was very open. He got what he wanted," Davis said about Game 3. "… I just wanted to take all of that away."
With the Heat clinging to the last shreds of hope down seven with 20 seconds left, Butler drove to the basket. And without much trouble, Davis swatted it away.
It was the last play that cemented Vogel's decision, that he was right to risk it with Davis guarding the Heat's best player.
"That was my first experience losing a game in the NBA Finals," Vogel said. "And I hope I never do it again."

So far, Facebook has avoided spelling out any of its plans.
Lawmakers ask Facebook about kids
By TONY ROMM
07/15/2012 10:27 PM EDT
Facebook has told members of Congress virtually nothing about whether and how it might open its doors to children under age 13.
Amid reports last month that Facebook could soon permit access for the 12-and-under set, Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas) asked Facebook for more information about the data the social network could someday collect from kids and whether it would be used for ads or shared with third parties.
But Facebook has avoided spelling out any of its plans. The lawmakers released a letter Friday from the company dated June 25 that merely repeats Facebook's previous statement that it has "made no final decision whether to change our current approach to prohibiting children under 13 from joining Facebook."
Instead, Facebook promised to work with lawmakers if it decides to go that route. And the company devoted the letter to describing its work to keep child predators off the website, thwart bullying and provide resources to parents and minors.
Markey and Barton, however, aren't satisfied.
"Children are not commodities, and their personal information should not be harvested to yield ad revenue for Facebook and its hungry shareholders," Markey's office said in a statement Friday, noting he would continue to monitor Facebook as it weighs whether to allow children under age 13.
Barton acknowledged Facebook had no way of answering members' questions as it hasn't finalized its plans. But he still said he has "the same concerns" about its potential use of children's data.
Facebook declined to comment further to POLITICO on Friday.
But in its letter to the lawmakers, Facebook said it recognizes "the age gate we use (like age gates used by most companies) does not always prevent children from registering." Erin Egan, the company's chief privacy officer, even cited recent reports in the lengthy reply that found a large number of underage users lie to gain access to the site.
The company also described the considerable work it does to find users under age 13 and "delete the accounts of children … once we become aware of them."
Facebook even detailed one such tool — called "Social Reporting" — that allows minors bothered by "an unflattering or embarrassing photo" or threatening content to notify Facebook, an adult or the person who posted the content that they would like it removed. Markey and Barton said the feature is similar to their proposal for an online "eraser button," though the two concepts are different.

The Future of Furniture
These designers are developing sustainable solutions to some of the industry's biggest questions.
As a child, Antwerp-based designer Nathalie Teugels got used to being told to sit still. Her ADHD, however, made it easier said than done. "Even now I have a hard time concentrating or sitting still whenever I need to," she admits. In fact, that was Teugels inspiration for creating MOOV, an innovative new chair that harnesses the energy produced by fidgeting and repurposes it to charge wireless devices.
Most of the furniture we encounter in our day-to-day lives is considered functional if it's comfortable, stylish and durable, but what if it could do something more? MOOV is part of a worldwide trend within the furniture industry to produce beautiful, yet sustainable, products.
Trouble sitting still? More power to you
While in a furniture design program, Teugels became interested in the idea that certain furniture styles might be able to help concentration, She began by examining desk designs before her thinking shifted. Why was she viewing her excess energy as a burden instead of an asset? She decided not to let it go to waste.
"With that idea, MOOV was born and I was reborn," she said.
Teugels has a working prototype of the chair, which includes built-in sensors to detect movement and piezoelectric crystals that generate electricity in response. There's also a USB port in the arm of the chair that allows users to plug in chargeable devices.
With its current design, MOOV collects between 1 and 5 milliamps of energy per movement. At this rate, it takes about 10 days' worth of fidgeting to charge a phone. Teugels plans to partner with a firm to help her overcome the biggest challenge for the chair moving forward: developing an efficient method of capturing electricity, while still keeping it affordable.
Teugels loves Scandinavian design, and that's reflected in the chair's aesthetics. It has a simple beam structure and features a cool accent color that pops from its otherwise wood grain form. The chair has only one armrest to allow for greater mobility, and the electrical wiring is hidden inside of it. This attention to detail is important to Teugels, and each piece of the chair serves a specific purpose.
"You won't see me making anything just to be beautiful," Teugels said. "I get inspired by functionality."
Looking to the ocean for design inspiration
With her work, Dutch designer Nienke Hoogvliet aims to create things that aren't just attractive, but that also raise awareness about the causes closest to her heart. Her RE-SEA ME series does just that.
Currently, the world's oceans are polluted with many waste products, including non-biodegradable plastic. With RE-SEA ME, Hoogvliet aims to draw attention to this issue, while also showcasing one of the many natural, sustainable materials that the ocean produces.
In this series, she experimented with fish skin, one of the biggest waste products of the seafood industry, to create stunning yet functional pieces. After developing a way of tanning the skins without using any chemicals, she was able to create a striking fish skin-made leather.
To demonstrate the strength of the leather, she created a small stool by stretching two strips of salmon skin across a wooden frame to serve as the seat. She also created a rug by sewing round pieces of the glittering leather to a discarded fishing net.
RE-SEA ME is a follow up to SEA ME, Hoogvliet's first foray into ocean-inspired design. In SEA ME, Hoogvliet created a rug using yarn made from sea algae. Sea algae, which grows quicker and requires less nutrients than cotton, could one day become ubiquitous in the textile industry, which is known for its largely unsustainable practices.
A bench grows in Brooklyn
New York City-based design collective Terreform One has taken a bit of a different approach when it comes to sustainable design. It's been experimenting with Mycoform, a durable building material grown from mushrooms. It's even created benches made from it.
Mycoform is created when molded organic byproducts are soaked with a fungal species called Ganoderma lucidum. When allowed to flourish in a warm and humid environment, the fungus weaves itself throughout the organic material, consuming some of it along the way, until it's formed a durable, weight-bearing structure. The external skin is made from bacterial cellulose.
Terreform One's Mycoform benches are designed with the help of a computer program that predicts the path that the fungus will grow within the byproducts. The bench's futuristic-looking shape is designed and cut digitally, and its rolling curves seem to reference its organic makeup.
According to Terreform One, Mycoform is pollution-free and low tech, meaning that it could be easily reproduced in developing countries where building materials are both expensive and hard to come by. It's also totally compostable, so rather than sitting in a landfill, it easily biodegrades on its own.
Like Hoogvliet, Terreform One's goal in creating Mycoform was to show that plastic-based building materials could be replaced with sustainable, organic alternatives. Also like Hoogvliet, it achieves this in a surprising yet strikingly beautiful way.

Q: Fortis Document Management - Access Violation occurred in module FMPRINT.DLL We are running Fortis Document Management Systems by Westbrook Technologies, and have recently run into an issue. Whenever we try to print a document in any way (even simply printing to PDF), an error occurs:
An access violation occurred at 0x#######(0x#######) in module FMPRINT.DLL. The product must now exit.
The entire application then proceeds to close. The individual workstations do not have FMPRINT.DLL. I tried adding it to one of the workstations' system32 as well as the fortis folder to no avail. The users also have permissions to the DLL on the server. Even when I performed a clean install on my own workstation, I cannot print.
All workstations are running on Windows 10, but were able to print on Windows 10 up until a few weeks ago - I am not sure what could have happened to change this. The issues began on 3/29, but was working up until then after the windows update we pushed on 3/21. Running it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 did not work.
Since it is out of support, contacting them directly is out of the question, although unfortunately so is working with a different document management system.
What is this error actually trying to tell me, and what can I do to fix it?

A:
All workstations are running on Windows 10, but were able to print on
Windows 10 up until a few weeks ago - I am not sure what could have
happened to change this.

Windows 10 has one or two significant updates in the last "few" weeks. So Windows 10 is changing and will continue to do so.
Westbrook is still around. Have you contacted them for a newer version?  That would likely be less expensive than converting to a new Document Management Vendor.
I think you will have to do one (upgrade current) or the other (change vendors).
Followup note:  Updates since February are cumulative (new update process):  KB500802,  KB5001330, KB500842 and KB5001649
Because of the change in updating, Microsoft said (Windows Insider issue) that  ... it is no longer possible to officially disable and hide individual updates.
Another thing to try is printing the document outside of Westbrook; that is, save it locally and print.

A: This bug is described in this Docuware support article
When printing out of Fortis we're getting "An access violation occurred at "" in module FMPRINT.DLL. The product will now close" after applying Windows Update KB5000808.
The answer as given is:

To fix the issue, apply KB5001649 -
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5001649
This isn't a patch that is automatically applied, so it has to be
manually installed.
Another workaround is to export the document first, then print the
document outside of Fortis.

I suppose that a future version of Fortis will fix the bug, but until
then these workarounds are the only solution.

Brain Teaser: Which Letter In The Alphabet Is Not In Any U.S. State's Name?
Cole Damon October 25th 2017 Weird
English has now become the most universally spoken language in the world. Whether its Russia, China or Japan, even the most rigid of countries have realized the importance of the language. Of course each demographic has their own unique approach to speaking English, such as mixing in different dialects and weaving their own cultural nuances to it. Popular examples are "Hinglish", a breed of Hindi and English and Spanglish, a diffusion of Spanish into English.
Interesting trivia about the English alphabets
There are 26 letters to the English alphabet, each tries to mimic a particular sound. Some letters such as 'E' are the most used throughout, and others such as 'Q' and 'Z' are rarely used, if at all.
There are 50 states in the United States
There are 50 states in the United States of America, so isn't it obvious to assume that almost all of the alphabets in the English language are used up to name each one of them? Well you're wrong.
So which letter could it be?
To make this trivia a little bit more simpler, we will provide you with just one clue. There is only one letter which is not found in any of the 50 states. This should make the brain teaser quite a bit easier.
Except it's not
If you were to individually search the names of all those 50 states and cross check them with the 26 letters, it will no doubt take up a lot of your valuable time. Do you have the time to write down the names and check with the list of alphabets?
Make it easier
Here's a novel idea. Get a list of all 50 states, (we'll have them named in the picture below). And simply speak out loud the names of each state. That absence of a particular sound will help narrow down your search.
Did speaking them out help?
So you read each one of those states out loud didn't you? Did it work? We believe it may have served to confuse you even further, for instance can you distinguish between the sound of 'S' and 'C' or 'Ph' and 'F'? No.
The obvious culprits
The most obvious answer is to assume the letter 'X'. But Texas and New Mexico are two states which make use of the rather rare alphabet 'X'. The next suspect, 'Z' appears once in Arizona. Even more mind boggling is the use of letter 'V'.
'Y' is used 6 times!
The letter 'Y' may be chalked up as rare and unusable, but the reality is that there are six states in the US which make use of it. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Maryland and Kentucky.
The answer is!
'Q' is a rare letter, but compared to 'Z' and 'X' it has more uses. Perhaps the most popular use of 'Q' is in the word queen. But quite surprisingly 'Q' couldn't make a cameo in either one of the 50 U.S states.
More interesting trivia
Was that jaw dropping enough for you? Did it boggle your mind? Who knew right? 'Q' of all letters couldn't debut in either one of the 50 states? But wait, there's more facts, 'Q' is also a fictional character in the James Bond franchise - strange right?
It cannot be transliterated into a different alphabet
It's one of the few English letters which cannot be transliterated into a different alphabet, allowing a non native English speaker to accurately trace it back into 'English'. It has very little use in the language besides glorifying the Queen.
If you were to isolate the first letters of the months separating June and December, you will be able to spell the word, 'JASON'. June, August, September, October and November. Go on, you should try this cool trick.
Official language of the skies
English is the official language of the skies and all pilots are required to have competency over it. Failure to do so can result in communication mishaps, and could even result in terrible accidents such midair collisions.
The most often used letter
So Q is the second least used letter. Naturally, one becomes curious to know about the letter which has the most use. It is 'S' if you're wondering. Funny you though the vowels would spell the most words, we thought so too.
The original English language is unrecognizable from today
The further you go back in time, the more difficult you'll find it to understand English speakers of the past. This is because the language as it stands today has evolved significantly, and is a breed of Old High German and Anglo-Norman.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Marillion debut album Script for a Jester's Tear is an issue for Marillion fans all over the world. Dutch fans will see Mick Pointer and well known friends of the prog scene performing the album live in January 2009. Last Saturday night, Chilean fans enjoyed a great gig in Santiago with the local tribute band Fugazi, performing the whole classic album plus other Marillion tracks live. Members of Fugazi are Max Sanchez on vocals, Claudio Momberg on keyboards, Jose Luis Ramos on bass, Leonardo Basso on guitar and his brother Franco Basso on drums. Max, Claudio and Leo are members of the prog band Subterra that released the DPRP recommended album Sombras de Invierno and afterwards Cautiverio. Subterra was the support band of Fish when he toured in Santiago with Return to Childhood in 2005. Max, Claudio and Jose Luis played with Clive Nolan and Agnieszka Swita when they played in Santiago in May 2007 and they also appear in a couple of tracks on the Caamora live album Journey's End…. Claudio has a solo project called SETI that has released the excellent album Signals. All the above mentioned albums have been released by Mylodon Records and distributed by Musea in Europe.
The small pub was packed with Marillion fans and friends of Fugazi when the band took the stage at 23:20. They performed the Script for a Jester's Tear album entirely, with outstanding perfection and fidelity. The musicians played powerfully and enthusiastically the homonymous song followed by He Knows You Know and The Web, where Franco's drumming was highly acclaimed. In Garden Party Claudio showed the good keyboard player he is with a superb performance. Leo's guitar playing was excellent all over the gig, particularly in Chelsea Monday. As a front man Max painted his face and changed jackets following Fish's style, like the military jacket in Forgotten Sons. All the tracks were supported by the excellent bass guitar of Jose Luis, who is a fantastic musician and sound engineer too.
After a short intermission the band returned to the stage to play other Marillion songs, beginning with Hotel Hobbies, Warm Wet Circles and That Time of the Night from the Clutching at Straws album. Then Fugazi turned into the Hogarth's era playing Easter and No One Can. Max's voice is very powerful and versatile in such a way he can perfectly manage both styles. Returning to the past, a great version of Punch and Judy was played and then they went into the Marbles era to play Fantastic Place. The long awaited Pseudo Silk Kimono/ Kayleigh and Lavender came afterwards, with Max wearing the traditional Misplaced Childhood red jacket, and everybody in the pub sang both songs. At that time of the night the ambient inside the pub was smoky and warm but nobody went home until the end. Finally, Fugazi played The Last Straw and Cover my Eyes, and concluded the gig playing the powerful track Incommunicado with everybody in the audience clapping and singing. Two hours of great Marillion music, including the best of both worlds, played by fantastic musicians to commemorate 25 years since the original album saw the light in 1983. It was a great night indeed.

Menace sur nos libertés : Comment Internet nous espionne, comment résister
by Julian Assange
technologie, société, Internet, politique
Cypherpunks are activists who advocate the widespread use of strong cryptography (writing in code) as a route to progressive change. Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of and visionary behind WikiLeaks, has been a leading voice in the cypherpunk movement since its inception in the 1980s. Now, in a wave-making new book, Assange brings together a small group of cutting-edge thinkers and activists from the front line of the battle for cyber-space to discuss whether electronic communications will emancipate or enslave us. Do Facebook and Google constitute "the greatest surveillance machine that ever existed"? Far from being victims of that surveillance, are most of us willing collaborators? Are there legitimate forms of surveillance, for instance in relation to the "Four Horsemen of the Infopocalypse" (money laundering, drugs, terrorism and pornography)? And do we have the ability, through conscious action and technological savvy, to resist this tide and secure a world where freedom is something which the Internet helps bring about?… (more)

I had high hopes for this book after reading an excellent and entertaining review by Assange of "The new digital age" by Eric Schmidt (Google) and Jared Cohen (Condoleeza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Google) termed "The banality of 'Don't be evil'". In the review he discussed the threats to privacy posed by the worrisome entanglement of the security industry and 'new/social media'.
Cyperpunks is formed as a conversation between Assange and his copatriots Jakob Appelbaum and Andy Muller-Maguhn and picks up on the same theme, but also the promise that cryptography may hold as a defence against the erosion of privacy (the title is a wordplay on this). Some of the stuff about cryptography was new to me and very interesting, however I often lost attention throughout the book due to its talkative style. I ended up a bit disappointed, but the topic is one of our age's most important, and it is always good to hear what those that are in the middle of the issues have to say.… (more)

Certainly an eye-opening narration about the reach and penetration of state surveillance systems in our lives. Although it has now been four years and most of the information about such actions has now become public because of the Snowden revelations, the book still discusses some really good points as to why and how the governments use such systems to control and manipulate citizens. The notion of having one's own private space without being monitored has almost vanished (or is swiftly reaching that stage). One must fend for themselves and gain the proper knowledge to defend against the violation of even basic human rights.
The end-notes of the book were really helpful in some cases. Still, there were some topics in the conversation where some background information might be helpful. It is not a literary piece of art work but a transcript of a discussion amongst four technocrats. Still a recommended read for anyone who is exploring this side of the technology.… (more)

It wasn't a view that one should simply complain about the burgeoning surveillance state and so on, but that we can, in fact, must build the tools of a new democracy.
Plagiarism has been the flashpoint on GR this weekend. I thought about the controversy when copyright law is called into question throughout Cypherpunks. Sharing and privacy not only maintain autonomy, so the book goes, but each further civilization. It is difficult to argue with that. That said, this discussion was all a bit "meh" for me. Lord knows I hate that judgment but it sticks to me. There is total lack of rigor in this book. Points are made and then begins a retreat into glib rejoinders and cliché. It is important to recall that this occurred before the Snowden revelations. I will likely explore some secondary sources now.

This book is a conversation between Julian Assange, Jacob Appelbaum, Andy Müller-Maguhn and Jeremie Zimmermann. If you know these people, you know what to expect: A discussion about the internet, freedom, censorship and surveillance. And that is exactly what you will get.
For me, that's fine. I know that Jacob and Julian are very good with such discussions, and Andy and Jeremie are quite good at this kind of thing as well, as it turns out. There are no revolutionary new ideas here, but it serves as a short summary of the problems of the world and the internet, as seen by these people.
I picked this book up on sale for $1, which it is definitely worth. I am not sure how much more I would be willing to pay for it, though, simply because I basically already knew pretty much everything they are talking about. If you, however, are looking for an introduction into the world view of these people, by all means, give it a read.… (more)

Visit Rangpar village in Rajkot district of Gujarat and you will be amazed by a smooth, winding road that leads to an otherwise quaint settlement. The fact that this road was made possible by a blind resident further feeds the wonderment. However, after meeting 32-year-old Ratna Ala you are left with no doubt that the real revolution in India will not come from the jantar mantar crowd but from determined people like him who refuse to get pushed to a corner.
It was in 2006 that Ala got curious about the poor condition of road connecting his village to the national highway. The road was full of potholes and overgrown babool shrubs alongside made it difficult to walk. Ala had listened about the right to information law on a radio programme a few days back and decided to use it. A Class X pass out, the 32-year-old also holds a diploma in Braille. However, when he went to submit the application to the panchayat office, the sarpanch and his supporters mocked him. "They laughed and said how does it matter to a blind man whether the road is good or not. This insult strengthened my desire to get the information because I have the same rights as any other citizen of India," Ala recalls. He posted the application to the village patwari but it was only after he filed a first appeal with the taluka development officer that the information was provided. On paper, the approach road to the village had been made twice in last two years. Armed with this proof, Ala complained to the higher authorities and also released the irregularity to the regional media and Doordarshan which generated a positive impact ensuring a proper road to the villagers.
For his efforts, Ala was awarded the first Rahul Mangaonkar Award, instituted by Times Of India, Ahmedabad, for best use of RTI for common cause in 2009. However, this was just a starting for Ala, who went on to take several other causes with the help of RTI in and around Rangpar. When the 281 acre gauchar (pastoral) land in his village was approved for sale to a watch manufacturing company , he decided to challenge that. In response to his queries under the RTI Act, he was given only verbal information about the approval and started receiving anonymous threat calls warning him against pursuing the matter further. Undeterred by the threats, he raised the issue during a gram sabha meeting which decided to put the sale on hold.
Last year, the 32-year-old gathered a bunch of people to file RTI applications and brought to light bogus voters in the area. Of 671 listed voters, 154 were found to be bogus. The list had names of seven persons who were dead; there were no photographs against 10 names, and 137 of them were missing from the village. Over the next 10 months, these names were cancelled from the list. Due to his consistent efforts to ensure good governance, the villagers elected him to the post of deputy sarpanch early this year. "The post is only helping me support the welfare work which I was already doing as an activist," Ala says. Who says you need eyes to have a vision?


An experience came to us in January, 1872, which served to confirm the faith of that young [San Francisco] church in the spirit of prophecy. Elder Cornell persisted in an independent course which I felt would bring reproach upon himself and upon the cause. Innocent as it seemed, he conducted himself injudiciously with a lady of the congregation, showing partiality which aroused comment among the enemies of the faith. Although far from the borders of immorality, I reasoned with him that he should shun every appearance of evil. He said it was nobody's business, and that he could walk the streets with whomever he pleased. The older church members saw the evil of his waywardness and were ready to subject him to censure, but the younger ones sided with him.
Thus the matter stood on Sabbath, Jan. 27, when it was decided than an investigation must be made and action taken. To all appearances a division in the church was inevitable. A meeting was appointed for 9 a.m. Sunday morning. I spent much of the night in prayer. On the morning of the 28th, as I started out for the meeting, I met my fellow-laborer on the sidewalk, near my boarding place, weeping. He said, "Brother Loughborough, I am not going to that meeting today."
"Not going to the meeting?" I asked in astonishment. "Why, that meeting relates to your case!"
"I know," he said, "but I am all wrong. You are right in the position you have taken in reference to me. Here is a letter of confession I have written to the church. It is better that you read it to them, and better for those who might sympathize with me if I were not there."
"But what has happened to make such a great change since yesterday?" I inquired.
He explained, "I went to the post office last night after the Sabbath, and received a letter from Sister White," he said handing me the letter. "Tell the church I accept it as a testimony from God, and that I repent."
"I was shown, Brother Cornell, that you should be very circumspect in your deportment and in your words; you are watched by enemies. You have great weakness for a man that is as strong to move the crowd as you are. Separated from your wife as you are, suspicion and jealousy will frame falsehood if you give no occasion; but if you are careless, you will bring a reproach upon the cause of God which would not soon be wiped away. Satan is tempting you to make a foolish man of yourself. Now is your opportunity to show yourself a man, to [exhibit] the grace of God by your patience, your fortitude and courage. Be careful how you are enticed to make women your confidants, or to allow them to make you their confidant. Keep aloof from the society of women as much as you can; you will be in danger."
But we must go back. This counsel came to Sister White in a vision shown her on Dec. 10, 1871, while traveling in Vermont. She began to write out the part relating to Elder Cornell on Dec. 27, but she did not complete it at that time. Early on the morning of Jan. 18, 1872, she awoke with the impression, "Write out immediately the testimony for California and get it in the very next mail. It is needed." Then the impression came a second time. She arose quickly and completed the letter. Before breakfast she handed it to her son Willie saying, "Take the letter to the post office, but do not put it in the drop. Hand it to the postmaster, and have him be sure to put it in the mail bag that goes out this morning."
At that time it required nine days for overland mail between Michigan and California. Had the letter arrived a day later, there would doubtless have been a sad rupture in the church. Had it come several days earlier, the church would not so readily have seen its force. Our members in San Francisco saw at once that no person on the west coast could have communicated that information to Mrs. White in time for her to write that letter, for the state of things which had developed did not then exist. The perfect timing of the counsel confirmed the church in the Spirit of Prophecy.

Eternal Flame Falls in Chestnut Ridge Park – Buffalo, NY
Niagara Frontier Region 5
Eternal Flame Falls is a waterfall gorge featuring a natural gas powered eternal flame in a small grotto created in the shale rock bed.
by Chris Clemens
Orchard Park is a southeast suburb of Buffalo. It's probably most famous for being the home the holiest of sites for Upstate football fans. In addition to being the home of the Buffalo Bills, Orchard Park has probably one of the coolest little gems you can find in the Niagara Frontier Region.
Chestnut Ridge Park
Chestnut Ridge Park is made up of over 1,200 acres of wooded, rolling hills. The park's name was inspired by early settlers who noted the vast collection of Great Chestnut trees in the area.
The Casino in Chestnut Ridge was built in 1938 and it's available to rent all year round as an all purpose lodge. Though there isn't actually any gambling to be done in the Casino, the view from the two story lodge is really incredible and on a clear day you can almost see right to the Canadian border.
Much of the rest of the park has areas laid out for picnicking, sledding, hiking trails, athletic fields and even a disc golf course. Though the park itself is a really nice one, there's one area in particular I drove out to see.
The Eternal Flame Falls is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is the result of geological history. That's what I was there to find.
Shale Rock
Located in the Shale Creek Preserve section of Chestnut Ridge Park, much of the area is layers of shale. A sedimentary rock made of mud and clay minerals, shale is a soft, fine-grained rock. It's instantly recognizable by the parallel layers of rock.
Located at the end of a quick one mile hiking trail is a small, classic Upstate example of a waterfall. Because shale is so soft and crumbles easily, a naturally occurring grotto has formed and within it a break in the floor of the grotto releases a natural gas formed by ongoing decomposition beneath the bedrock.
Upstate New York has miles and miles of shale rock and many of the popular waterfalls in our region pour out over shale. From what I've been able to find online, there is only one waterfall in the state that someone has been able to find anything like the Eternal Flame.
The flammable gas is emitted constantly all year round and because it almost never stops, lighting the gas leak will cause the leak to become exactly like a blowtorch.
Most times the flame is already lit but you may want to bring a waterproof lighter or matches in case it's blown out when you arrive. Placing the lighter toward the back left of the grotto should get it going again. (*Please use caution, remember that you are sticking fire in to a cave of gas!)
How To Find The Eternal Flame
A gated entrance near the parking lot in the Preserve is the start of the trail.
There's a super easy open wooded area trail that is flat and clearly marked which makes for a quick walk. Once the trail reaches the edge of the gorge, you'll begin a 150 foot descent to the creek bed. Because of that descent, I'd classify the majority of the walk as not very easy. That's not to say that it's difficult, but it's far from being handicapped accessible.
At the bottom of the gorge wall, you'll walk up the creek bed for about a quarter of a mile. Just after the creek meanders one last time you'll be in a clearing. This natural gorge was made from thousands of years of trickling water wearing away at the soft shale.
What was interesting about being in the base of this clearing was hearing an airplane far off in the distance. That was until I realized it was actually the blowtorch-like sound coming from the flame in the grotto!!
Getting up closer to the waterfall is pretty easy depending on the water levels. Once you're up next to the flame you'll really hear the roar of the gaslighted flame. Plus, it was kind of a surprise that you could smell the natural gas prominently.
My friend and I couldn't stop smiling at how cool it was to see this phenomenon in person.
What To Know About Eternal Flame Falls
From what I've read, there's actually three different breaks in the rock at the waterfall and each has a flame. Despite playing with lighters for a half hour, we were only able to find the one best-known Eternal Flame. That was easy because it was already lit when we arrived.
I'm sure that different environmental factors play a role in how much gas is emitted at any one time and those same environmental factors may play a role on what you get to see while visiting.
There wasn't a ton of water flow at the time we went. That meant walking up the creek bed was easy, but Spring might be a cool time to see it with more water. A winter scene snow covered grotto with a flame I'm sure would be worth the effort too!

We will have to check this out next summer for sure! Nice read.
Sounds similar to the 'Burning Spring' that's in the Town of Bristol, off of route 64.
They say you can't access the spring because it's on private property.
According to one article, there were supposed to be burning springs in several locations around the area.
I guess it was a big deal to the Indians and early explorers.
Nice writeup of a place right near where I grew up. Never made the hike and I definitely want to do it now!
Very interesting. I will definitely be checking this out. Thank you

ASIC, Regulation
Queensland adviser cops five-year ban
Darin Tyson-Chan
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has given a Queensland-based financial adviser a five-year ban after surveillance found the practitioner had breached several legal obligations required of him as an authorised representative of an Australian financial services licensee.
Gregory Forster was issued the ban after regulator surveillance uncovered the fact he had not acted in his clients' best interests and had provided inappropriate advice to them while he was an authorised representative of dealer groups the Breakaway Finance Group, between July 2012 and October 2014, and Millennium 3, between October 2014 and December 2018.
With regard to the advice provided to SMSF clients, ASIC determined Forster had significantly understated the costs of running this type of super fund, with the true running costs being substantially higher than the ones divulged to the client.
The regulator also found Forster recommended risk insurance to clients housed within their superannuation funds where the associated premiums were unaffordable, and in some cases higher than the related contributions being made, effectively eroding the individual's retirement saving balance. ASIC discovered clients had sought his advice because of concerns over the adequacy of their superannuation balances prior to the insurance recommendations being made.
Further, it was found Forster breached the legal requirements for statements of advice by disclosing his advice fees as a percentage rather than as a dollar amount.
The punishment handed down will be recorded on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register and on the Banned and Disqualified Persons Register.
"ASIC expects financial advisers to adequately understand their clients' personal circumstances and take those circumstances into consideration when providing personal advice," the regulator said in a media release.
"Advisers have a legal obligation to prioritise their clients' interests and to comply with the best interests duty when providing personal advice."
The enforcement action comes as part of ASIC's Wealth Management Project, which is targeting the behaviour of the largest licensees in the Australian market.
Under the initiative, 53 advisers and one director have been banned to date, with five of the disqualifications subject to appeal.
