Veteran railroader coming from Mississippi to manage Joseph-Elgin shortline branch
By Rocky Wilson
of the Chieftain
After a nationwide search that began in November, the Wallowa Union Railroad Authority (WURA) has offered the position of general manager to Michael Bagwell of the small community of Hurley, Miss. He has tentatively accepted the position contingent on a tour of the two counties and the railroad line next week.
Bagwell, 51, was the unanimous choice of the WURA search committee which consisted of Stephen Adams of rural Enterprise, Marc Stauffer of Elgin and Myron Kirkpatrick of Joseph. Over 80 persons applied for the position with extensive phone interviews conducted with the top 13 candidates. Four candidates were re-interviewed by phone as finalists with the three committee members and a consultant independently, and unanimously, selecting Bagwell as the man for the job.
After graduating from the University of Mississippi which he attended on a football scholarship as a split end, Bagwell went to work for the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad in 1977 as a laborer. He was promoted through engineering departments, and in 1986 became track supervisor and chief engineer of the Mississippi Export Railroad in Louisville, Kentucky.
That was when he began a serious love affair with short line railroads which has lasted 16 years. With 20 people reporting directly to him, Bagwell was mindful of the needs of railroad tracks, bridges and structures.
In 1992 he was promoted again to the position of vice president and general manager of the same line. At that time he became directly responsible for the railroad's profit and loss, and focused in the areas of marketing, engineering, transportation and mechanical (maintenance). From 60 to 85 persons were under his supervision at that time.
In 1997 the Mississippi Export Railroad expanded to include a construction company called MSE Services. It built and repaired railroad track and offered services to existing railroad lines such as the maintenance and switching of cars. In 1999, while remaining in the position of vice president of the Mississippi Export Railroad, Bagwell was named president of MSE services.
Bagwell became aware of the WURA position via the Internet and has researched all he could find on northeast Oregon, an area he has never visited. He has visited the Canadian Rockies and, through his Internet research, describes Wallowa and Union counties as "the most beautiful place I have ever seen."
On Jan. 29, next Wednesday, Bagwell is scheduled to view the 63 miles of railroad track between Elgin and Joseph that he will be responsible for. He will view the track by high rail. On the following day he will meet with groups and the public in Wallowa County. On Jan. 31 Bagwell will do the same in Union County.
Bagwell will be making four agenda stops in Wallowa County Thursday, Jan. 30. At 8:30 a.m. he will meet with economic leaders of the community at the Bronze Antler Bed & Breakfast in Joseph. After that session, at 11 a.m., he will meet with the Friends of the Joseph Branch and members of the general public at Plush West in Enterprise. From 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Bagwell will be available to meet the general public in the courtroom of the Wallowa County Courthouse in Enterprise. That evening he will meet informally with WURA members at a site yet to be named.
Expressing excitement about the caliber of individual WURA is hiring is search committee chairman Stephen Adams. He said that Bagwell is turning down a seven-state federal administrative railroad position to head up the local line. The railroad expert from a small Mississippi town 20 miles from the Gulf Coast says he is doing so because a shortline position is more satisfying from an emotional standpoint, that it gives him "an opportunity to wear more hats."
Bagwell, providing the late January tour is agreeable to both parties, will bring his wife with him to northeast Oregon. She is a paralegal. They have five sons, two (twins) of which are freshmen in college, one an Army Ranger in Kentucky and two engaged in the business world in Baton Rouge, La.
Though he admits that he has much to learn about the Joseph Branch, Bagwell hopes to develop both the freight and excursion aspects of what for a number of years was technically an abandoned line. It has been taken off of the abandoned status but, other than two weeks of use last June by Wallowa Forest Products, has seen next to no rail traffic.
Wallowa and Union Counties purchased the segment of track from Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad at the end of May, 2002, and are scheduled to determine who will operate the railroad line this May. Until that date Idaho Northern remains in charge of operations.
"All a shortline has to offer is service," says Bagwell. "Every employee has to be very mindful of service to the customer."
Bagwell has remained active in the communities he has lived in. He is a board member of the Singing River Hospital Systems in southern Mississippi, a hospital network with a budget of $250 million annually with a payroll of 2,500 employees. He has been president of a two-county branch of the United Way. "I have always thought community involvement is truly important," he says.

Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell On His Worst Show Ever
. (Classic Rock) Vivian Campbell has recalled a horrendous experience of playing a gig the day after undergoing chemotherapy. Def Leppard guitarist Campbell was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013 and the following year the band were on tour with Kiss when he went through what he describes as his "worst ever show."
He tells the Irish Times: "It was in the summer of 2014 at the Los Angeles Forum. We were on tour with Kiss and I was having chemotherapy at the time, scheduling my treatments around the shows and the travel.
"It was one of the three regimes of chemotherapy that I had gone through over the last several years, but this was a particularly brutal one. It was called Ice - named after the combination of drugs used: ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide.
"I don't remember a thing about that show, but I do know we had to cut out a few of the songs as I sing a lot of the high parts and there was no way I was going to reach those notes that night. I've no idea how we got through it, but somehow we did."
He continues: "I had been at hospital the whole night before this show getting an infusion of Ice. I didn't realise it at the time, but it turns out I had a bad allergic reaction to one of the chemotherapy drugs.
"My eyes were completely swollen and I looked as if I had just done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. That was the first time in my life that I wore sunglasses indoors for an arena show, but I looked truly horrendous and needed something to hide behind." Read more here.

A Micro-Packaged Linear Current Sensor IC
Primary conductor resistance of only 0.6 mΩ reduces power dissipation
By Shaun Milano
Allegro MicroSystems, LLC
The linear current sensor IC, the ACS711, is housed in a 0.75 mm thick low profile package measuring only 3 mm × 3 mm! It is designed for low-side and less than 100 V sensing applications requiring 5 A to 30 A continuous current sensing.
Traditionally, current sensing has been accomplished with sense resistors or current transformers that can take up a large PCB area. Sense resistor values from 10 to 50 mΩ can burn a significant amount of power at higher currents, which lowers overall system efficiency, while current transformers consume large PCB real estate. Hall-effect sensor ICs have been employed to provide a non-contact method of measuring current in conductors and to provide a voltage signal proportional to current flowing in conductors.
A new current sensor IC from Allegro™ MicroSystems, LLC, the ACS711 (figures 1 and 2) resolves the size issue with a truly small, 3 mm by 3 mm footprint with only 0.6 mΩ conductor resistance, which lowers power dissipation by an order of magnitude over typical sense resistor op-amp solutions. Full integration of the current sensor IC allows for factory programming at Allegro that delivers a solution that is more accurate while providing the additional benefits of small size and higher efficiency through reduced power loss in the current carrying conductor.
Figure 1. ACS711 QFN package size, in comparison to a U.S.
10-cent coin
Figure 2. ACS711 device with QFN construction: yellow is the IC
chip, red is the Hall element, green lines represent magnetic flux,
and blue is the sensed current path
Hall current sensor ICs with one turn and no magnetic core do not produce a large magnetic field, so placing the Hall sensing-element in close proximity to the sensed current is an attractive approach. The flux surrounding a conductor may be only a hundred gauss (10 mT) or less, and this diminishes rapidly with the distance of the Hall element from the conductor.
To optimize the performance, the ACS711 device employs an Allegro patented flip-chip magnetic field sensing technology, illustrated in figure 2. Flip-chip use allows the active area of the Hall transducer section of the IC (shown as the red square in figure 2) on the surface of the silicon to be placed in the closest proximity to the primary conductor. This allows for excellent signal coupling.
Classic flip-chip technology is employed, which makes the necessary connections to the signal circuit and supports the chip above the current conductor on the leadframe. The primary current path is efficiently channeled to the Hall element via a patented exposed current loop design, with terminations soldered directly to the PCB traces. With such close magnetic coupling to the conductor, signal sensitivity is maximized and the device can produce 90 mV/A and 45 mV/A for sensing 15 A and 31 A full-scale current, and the sensor IC requires only a 3.3 V supply.
Flip-chip technology also allows case molding plastic to fill the small spaces between the primary current carrying conductor and both the die surface and the device signal leads, providing galvanic (voltage) isolation. With the attractive small dimensions of this device, the package provides isolation only to supply voltage values below mains line voltage. The ACS711 has been optimized for low voltage circuits, < 100 V, such as: 48 V solar circuits, communications, and consumer electronics and audio applications. The device is also economical to assemble into finished products and is excellent for low-side sensing applications in residential and commercial white goods appliances and with general-use motor drivers.
Despite its small size, the ACS711 can sense relatively large currents in the QFN package, up to ±31 A. Sense resistor power dissipation is significant at higher current ranges and conducting such current levels in and out of IC packages has been a traditional limitation. The QFN package solves this issue with two large solder pads on the mounting surface and with careful detail to the shape of the primary sensed current conducting loop. The design uses substantial copper conductors within the package to form the sensed current loop, without bond wires. The primary conductor resistance in the QFN is only 0.6 mΩ, an order of magnitude less than most sense resistors employed in low-side sensing configurations. This reduces power consumption, and typical power dissipation at 30 A is only 0.54 W and at 15 A is just 0.135 W. This not only makes a contribution to system efficiency, but also allows the device to stay cool even at elevated currents. If customers prefer a leaded package for certain applications, a companion package, the SOIC-8, is also available for the ACS711 product. Please refer to the Allegro website at www.allegromicro.com for more linear current sensing ranges available.
Soldering and Thermal Characteristics
Notwithstanding the low power dissipation, an even lower thermal resistance to ambient than that inherently provided by the relatively small, 3 mm2 QFN package is required. Wide, highcurrent copper traces on the printed circuit board (PCB) are adequate to help cool the device, if designed properly. An example is shown in figure 3, the layout on the ACS711 prototyping board available from Allegro. Note that the two large pad areas, 4.5 mm across, are only slightly larger than the very small QFN package outline. On this board, two layers of 4 oz. copper are used, linked by thermal vias (those under the QFN can be filled or eliminated if necessary) to enhance thermal performance. The vias under the QFN can be filled or eliminated if necessary, as some customers find this difficult to accomplish in a production environment. Further design details and guidance for PCB mounting are available from Allegro.
Figure 3. A PCB layout for the QFN current sensor IC (Allegro prototyping
board 85-0528)
Using the Allegro PCB of figure 3, temperature measurements were made across a range of sensed current levels. Figure 4 shows the results. The graph shows that at an ambient temperature of 85°C the sensor IC package can withstand 45 A continuous current before reaching the maximum recommended junction (die) temperature, 165°C. With proper PCB design, the device can be safely used in 30 A continuous-current applications at 85°C ambient temperature, with an approximately 50°C margin of safety before reaching a die temperature of 165°C.
Figure 4. Thermal performance of the QFN mounted on the PCB
Device Features, Fault Output, and Accuracy
The voltage signal is dependent on the direction of the current flow, enabling measurement of bi-directional current flow, both AC and DC. At a zero-current level, the output voltage signal is half the supply voltage.
The ACS711 sensor IC also integrates a factory-programmed fast response digital fault output that has a 1.3 μs response time. It is set at 100% of the maximum current rating of the sensor IC. This fast fault signal can be used to prevent the destruction of IGBTs or other switching devices during short circuit or overcurrent conditions, or as a redundant fault feature in motor control applications.
Another inherent disadvantage of sense resistor with op-amp solutions is a reduction in accuracy with changes in temperature, because the sense resistor value changes. Hall-based sensor ICs are not subject to this error because the magnetic field generated by current flowing in a conductor is not temperature dependent. The Allegro ACS711 provides additional protection, against package thermal stress, through the application of an advanced Bi-CMOS process with built-in chopper circuitry to compensate for Hall element offset voltage changes. The fully integrated architecture of the ACS711 sensor IC further allows adjustment programming at Allegro end-of-line production testing to further reduce errors in gain and offset, delivering a more accurate sensing solution.
Advanced Allegro patented flip-chip packaging for linear Hall ICs has allowed the creation of a micro-sized, 3 mm × 3 mm fully integrated current sensor device, the Allegro MicroSystems ACS711, which has only 0.6 mΩ internal resistance, produced in a package that can really take the heat. Used with an appropriate PCB design, the device can be used for applications with over 30 A continuous current while reducing power consumption by an order of magnitude compared to existing sense resistor solutions.
Factory programming provides high accuracy in this IC, with an integrated fast response fault output. Together these techniques deliver the smallest current sensing footprint available for your application without compromising accuracy.

Politi-Cal
Campaigns against Prop. 8 fined $80,000 for reporting violations
By Patrick McGreevy
Sept. 6, 2012 8:49 AM PT
Three political committees that fought a 2008 ballot measure banning gay marriage in California have agreed to pay $80,000 in fines to the state ethics agency after admitting they violated campaign finance rules.
The fines come less than a month after the state Fair Political Practices Commission levied $49,000 in fines against ProtectMarriage.com -- Yes on 8 for failing to properly report more than $1 million in contributions.
Altogether, the fines against the four political committees on both sides of the issue represent some of the largest penalties imposed over a ballot measure in California, and a reflection of how hard-fought and bitter a contest it was, officials said.
'An unprecedented number of contributions' hindered the ability of the campaigns to report them all within strict deadlines, said Steve Mele, treasurer for the campaign committee No on 8, Equality for All. That campaign agreed to pay $42,500 in fines for failing to meet deadlines for reporting $724,000 in contributions.
Similar violations resulted in the Human Rights Campaign California Marriage PAC -- No on Prop. 8 Committee agreeing to pay $6,000 in fines, and Equality California Issues PAC paying $31,500 in penalties. The commission meets Sept. 13 to vote on accepting the fines agreed to by the campaigns and its enforcement staff.
Proposition 8 generated passion on both sides of the issue bringing in hundreds of thousands of mostly small contributions from all over the country. The opponents alone spent $40 million, and the records of all the contributors were so lengthy they crashed the Secretary of State's website.
The Human Rights Campaign committee made a 'good-faith effort'' over the fast six-month campaign to comply, said spokesman Michael Cole Schwartz.
The enforcement staff of the state ethics agency recommended lower-than-maximum fines in part out of acknowledgment the late reporting involved a small fraction of the total contributions.
'Such fines are imposed on virtually every campaign of this type, and given the unprecedented magnitude of small donations to the campaign, it's no surprise that this campaign was fined,' said Stephan A. Roth, a principal with Equality California. 'Campaign leadership acted responsibly to ensure that enough money was retained at the end of the campaign to cover any fine.'
Phillip Ung, a policy advocate for California Common Cause, said he can't recall an initiative in which the various campaigns had so many violations. Many campaigns, he said 'calculate the fines as the cost of doing business. This occurs often with initiative campaigns because the fines are so low and there are no individuals held accountable to any criminal charges.'

Q: variables in jquery each function can anybody help me ? - >
I wont that vars id,zIndex,width  inside function after jQuery.each will be defined
and their values will be values from array passed to function MyFunction:
console.log(id);  //ID IS NOT DEFINED
console.log(zIndex);  //NOT DEFINED
console.log(width);  //NOT DEFINED

many thanks for help, Peter
Code>
var MyArray = new Object();
MyArray.id = "3";
MyArray.zIndex = "3";
MyArray.width = "600";

function MyFunction(my_array) {

console.log(my_array.id);  //IT IS OK, id is defined

jQuery.each(my_array, function(key,value) {
    alert(key + " = " + value);
    eval("var" + key + " = " + value); //???????

});

console.log(id);  //ID IS NOT DEFINED
console.log(zIndex);  //NOT DEFINED
console.log(width);  //NOT DEFINED

}

MyFunction(MyArray);

-----UPDATED ----------------------
THANKS ALL FOR ANSWER
IN THE MEANTIME I UPDATED MY CODE,
I WONT TO CREATE SMALL PLUGIN FOR MY APPLICATION
METHOD OPENWINDOW IS PUBLIC
MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I USE METHOD
jQuery.each(my_array, function(key,value) {
 window[key]=value;
});

IN PLUGIN PUBLIC METHOD OPENWINDOW
HERE IS CODE IN MORE COMPLEX:
    (function($){
    $.fn.MyPlugin = function(options) {

            ...... CODE

            this.OpenWindow = function(my_array) {

            //this way dont work for me here, vars are not defined
            var window = $(window);
                    jQuery.each(my_array, function(key,value) {
                window[key]=value;
            });

                    //VARS ARE NOT DEFINED
                    console.log(id);
            console.log(zIndex);
            console.log(width);

               //this way work well
                for (var k in my_array){
                    eval ("var " + k + " = " + my_array[k]);
                }

                        //VARS ARE DEFINED
                console.log(id);
                console.log(zIndex);
                console.log(width);

            .... code

     return this;
    };
    })(jQuery);

var MyArray = new Object();
MyArray.id = "3";
MyArray.zIndex = "3";
MyArray.width = "600";

var MyPlugin = $.fn.MyPlugin();
MyPlugin.OpenWindow(MyArray);

A: Try this:
 $.each(my_array,function(i,n){
    window[i]=n;
})

See fiddle here.
Your way is not work because the eval code still run in the each loop of jQuery,so the
variable will be undefined outside the area.

A: Instead of...
eval("var" + key + " = " + value);

Use
window[key] = value;

But then id,zIndex and width will become global variables. So you'll have to delete them if you do not want any conflict.

A: instead of doing it in jquery.each, directly iterate the object you passed using for loop and use eval.
var MyArray = new Object();
MyArray.id = "3";
MyArray.zIndex = "3";
MyArray.width = "600";

function MyFunction(my_array) {
    for (var k in my_array){
        eval ("var " + k + " = " + my_array[k]);
    }
    console.log(id);
    console.log(zIndex);
    console.log(width);

}

MyFunction(MyArray);

Why We Shouldn't Forgive Taylor Swift
Since her musical debut in 2004, Taylor Swift has been making pop culture headlines. In the decade that she has been an active musician, Swift has caused a lot of controversy, from her feud with Kanye West to the debate about the cultural appropriation in her music videos. However, after the recent debut of her album Reputation in 2017, which became one of the 2017's best selling records, Swift seems to have "redeemed" herself, and now is considered one of the most popular musicians ever.
Just because the media seems to forgive Taylor Swift for her past scandals, however, does not mean she has earned it. Though I'm all for a good revenge album, Swift's success is most often directly tied to her putting down other people; it seems she's always working backwards, rather than moving forward. Taylor Swift may be framing Reputation as her way of turning over a new leaf and leaving her bad reputation behind her – but how much has she actually changed? And can we even forgive her for her past mistakes?
I'll be the first to admit that people who hate Taylor Swift often hate her for the wrong reasons. The media likes to joke about how Swift uses her past relationships for inspiration and as such has called her a man-eater (and many other words we shouldn't repeat). I don't think this is right – she has just as much right to write about her heartbreak as every other musician who does it.
To give her credit, Taylor Swift covers this open and honestly: she's actively worked to dismantle the sexism of these comments and has even proclaimed herself to be a feminist. Since 2015, she's branded herself as a "woman who supports women." But is she?
In reality, there is little that Swift has actually done for the feminist movement. She really only supports a certain type of woman, and it seems that a lot of women do not fit this role. Though she's posted pictures on social media, she has not really supported any actual change. Yet her whole brand is about supporting the feminist movement.
The Revenge Story
Swift constantly conveys the message that you have to burn bridges between your enemies. For certain situations, of course I understand, (I'm on her side about Kanye West, for sure), but there comes a point where you can argue that Taylor Swift teaches you how to hate instead of how to move on. When you consider songs like Kesha's "Praying," that teach both forgiveness and retribution, it's hard not to find Swift just a little tired.
Taylor Swift definitely has some bops that I can get behind, but we have to recognize that she is not that different from any other artist. She just seems to be another artist that will fall in and out of favor until she is forgotten.

perlfaq2 - Obtaining and Learning about Perl
This section of the FAQ answers questions about where to find source
and documentation for Perl, support, and related matters.
What machines support Perl? Where do I get it?
The standard release of Perl (the one maintained by the Perl
development team) is distributed only in source code form. You can find
the latest releases at <http://www.cpan.org/src/>.
Perl builds and runs on a bewildering number of platforms. Virtually
all known and current Unix derivatives are supported (perl's native
platform), as are other systems like VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows, QNX,
BeOS, OS X, MPE/iX and the Amiga.
Binary distributions for some proprietary platforms can be found
<http://www.cpan.org/ports/> directory. Because these are not part of
the standard distribution, they may and in fact do differ from the base
perl port in a variety of ways. You'll have to check their respective
release notes to see just what the differences are. These differences
can be either positive (e.g. extensions for the features of the
particular platform that are not supported in the source release of
perl) or negative (e.g. might be based upon a less current source
release of perl).
How can I get a binary version of Perl?
See CPAN Ports <http://www.cpan.org/ports/>
I don't have a C compiler. How can I build my own Perl interpreter?
For Windows, use a binary version of Perl, Strawberry Perl
<http://strawberryperl.com/> and ActivePerl
<http://www.activestate.com/activeperl> come with a bundled C compiler.
Otherwise if you really do want to build Perl, you need to get a binary
version of "gcc" for your system first. Use a search engine to find out
how to do this for your operating system.
I copied the Perl binary from one machine to another, but scripts don't
That's probably because you forgot libraries, or library paths differ.
You really should build the whole distribution on the machine it will
eventually live on, and then type "make install". Most other approaches
are doomed to failure.
One simple way to check that things are in the right place is to print
out the hard-coded @INC that perl looks through for libraries:
% perl -le 'print for @INC'
If this command lists any paths that don't exist on your system, then
you may need to move the appropriate libraries to these locations, or
create symbolic links, aliases, or shortcuts appropriately. @INC is
also printed as part of the output of
% perl -V
You might also want to check out "How do I keep my own module/library
directory?" in perlfaq8.
I grabbed the sources and tried to compile but gdbm/dynamic
loading/malloc/linking/... failed. How do I make it work?
Read the INSTALL file, which is part of the source distribution.  It
describes in detail how to cope with most idiosyncrasies that the
"Configure" script can't work around for any given system or
What modules and extensions are available for Perl? What is CPAN?
CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, a multi-gigabyte
archive replicated on hundreds of machines all over the world. CPAN
contains tens of thousands of modules and extensions, source code and
documentation, designed for everything from commercial database
interfaces to keyboard/screen control and running large web sites.
You can search CPAN on <http://metacpan.org> or
<http://search.cpan.org/>.
The master web site for CPAN is <http://www.cpan.org/>,
<http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html> lists all mirrors.
See the CPAN FAQ at <http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html> for
answers to the most frequently asked questions about CPAN.
The Task::Kensho module has a list of recommended modules which you
should review as a good starting point.
Where can I get information on Perl?
o   <http://www.perl.org/>
o   <http://perldoc.perl.org/>
o   <http://learn.perl.org/>
The complete Perl documentation is available with the Perl
distribution.  If you have Perl installed locally, you probably have
the documentation installed as well: type "perldoc perl" in a terminal
or view online <http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.html>.
(Some operating system distributions may ship the documentation in a
different package; for instance, on Debian, you need to install the
"perl-doc" package.)
Many good books have been written about Perl--see the section later in
perlfaq2 for more details.
What is perl.com? Perl Mongers? pm.org? perl.org? cpan.org?
Perl.com <http://www.perl.com/> used to be part of the O'Reilly
Network, a subsidiary of O'Reilly Media. Although it retains most of
the original content from its O'Reilly Network, it is now hosted by The
Perl Foundation <http://www.perlfoundation.org/>.
The Perl Foundation is an advocacy organization for the Perl language
which maintains the web site <http://www.perl.org/> as a general
advocacy site for the Perl language. It uses the domain to provide
general support services to the Perl community, including the hosting
of mailing lists, web sites, and other services. There are also many
other sub-domains for special topics like learning Perl and jobs in
Perl, such as:
o   <http://jobs.perl.org/>
o   <http://lists.perl.org/>
Perl Mongers <http://www.pm.org/> uses the pm.org domain for services
related to local Perl user groups, including the hosting of mailing
lists and web sites. See the Perl Mongers web site <http://www.pm.org/>
for more information about joining, starting, or requesting services
for a Perl user group.
CPAN, or the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network <http://www.cpan.org/>,
is a replicated, worldwide repository of Perl software.  See What is
CPAN?.
Where can I post questions?
There are many Perl mailing lists for various topics, specifically the
beginners list <http://lists.perl.org/list/beginners.html> may be of
Other places to ask questions are on the PerlMonks site
<http://www.perlmonks.org/> or stackoverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/perl>.
Perl Books
There are many good books on Perl
<http://www.perl.org/books/library.html>.
Which magazines have Perl content?
There's also $foo Magazin, a German magazine dedicated to Perl, at (
<http://www.foo-magazin.de> ). The Perl-Zeitung is another German-
speaking magazine for Perl beginners (see <http://perl-zeitung.at.tf>
Several Unix/Linux related magazines frequently include articles on
Perl.
Which Perl blogs should I read?
Perl News <http://perlnews.org/> covers some of the major events in the
Perl world, Perl Weekly <http://perlweekly.com/> is a weekly e-mail
(and RSS feed) of hand-picked Perl articles.
<http://blogs.perl.org/> hosts many Perl blogs, there are also several
blog aggregators: Perlsphere <http://perlsphere.net/> and IronMan
<http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/> are two of them.
What mailing lists are there for Perl?
A comprehensive list of Perl-related mailing lists can be found at
<http://lists.perl.org/>
Where can I buy a commercial version of Perl?
Perl already is commercial software: it has a license that you can grab
and carefully read to your manager. It is distributed in releases and
comes in well-defined packages. There is a very large and supportive
user community and an extensive literature.
If you still need commercial support ActiveState
<http://www.activestate.com/activeperl> offers this.
Where do I send bug reports?
First, ensure that you've found an actual bug. Second, ensure you've
found an actual bug.
If you've found a bug with the perl interpreter or one of the modules
in the standard library (those that come with Perl), you can use the
perlbug utility that comes with Perl (>= 5.004). It collects
information about your installation to include with your message, then
sends the message to the right place.
To determine if a module came with your version of Perl, you can
install and use the Module::CoreList module. It has the information
about the modules (with their versions) included with each release of
Every CPAN module has a bug tracker set up in RT, <http://rt.cpan.org>.
You can submit bugs to RT either through its web interface or by email.
To email a bug report, send it to bug-<distribution-name>@rt.cpan.org .
For example, if you wanted to report a bug in Business::ISBN, you could
send a message to bug-Business-ISBN@rt.cpan.org .
Some modules might have special reporting requirements, such as a
Github or Google Code tracking system, so you should check the module
documentation too.


Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Miljenko "Mike" Grgich and Austin Hills. Austin is part of the family that started Hills Bros. Coffee, Inc – he started as a an assistant coffee buyer with the company until ultimately he was Chairman of the Board. Today both the Grgich and Hill families continue to share the ownership of the winery equally.
Mike Grgich has interesting history in regards to how he came to own and run Grgich Hills. It starts in Croatia – where he was born (the last of 11 children) in a tiny village, Desne, located on the Dalmation Coast. This village is still small with only around 100 people living there today. Mike's father owned a small farm – Mike helped him stomp grapes when he was only several years old and was tending sheep by the time he was 6 years old.
During the 1950's the Communist control of the former Yugoslavia region did not create an environment conducive to producing fine wine. In general, production at the time was about quantity rather than quality. Realizing that to make premium wines Mike would have to move out of Croatia.
But first he studied viticulture and oenology at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Agriculture. He then moved to West Germany where he was given and studied under a fellowship – he had no plans to return to Croatia. Hearing about California as a great place for agriculture he contacted one of his cousins (a priest) living in Canada. During these years it was easier to immigrate into Canada then into the United States. He was supposed to take a wood cutting job in the Yukon – this never materialized so he took a train to Vancouver where because of his limited English at the time, his first job in North America was washing dishes at a small college.
From there he started working at a pulp mill, but this wasn't going to be a long term career choice – his primary interest was in wine. He placed an ad offering his wine making services in the Wine Institute's monthly newsletter. A winery called him from the Napa Valley – tiny Chateau Sovereign (housed at the time in what is now Burgess Cellars in Deer Park). Founder Lee Stewart hired Mike in 1958. This was Mike's first wine related job in the Napa Valley. He arrived to Napa with not much – his worldly possessions fit in merely a suitcase.
Other jobs in the valley included working for Brother Timothy at the Christian Brothers Winery, then Napa wine pioneer, André Tchelistcheff who was working at Beaulieu Vineyard hired Mike on a six month trial basis. Liking what he saw after this trial period he hired Mike full time to help oversee quality control at the winery. Mike stayed there some nine years before moving to a "new" winery at the time, Robert Mondavi.
He then met James Barrett, a lawyer who wanted to start a winery in the Napa Valley and make a premium Cabernet Sauvignon (the founder of Chateau Montelena). James hired Mike as his first winemaker – until they could get some cash flow from the sales of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mike suggested they start making a Chardonnay – quicker to bottle and quicker to market. Grapes from both Napa and Sonoma County were sourced to make this wine. This Chardonnay was entered in the 1976 Paris Tasting, was tasted blind against other French and California Chardonnays by French wine judges. When the final results were announced the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay had earned the highest score of any of the Chardonnay wines.
Mike calls his winning 1973 vintage Chardonnay his "first real miracle as a winemaker". It is easy to see why with significant press at the time including stories in the New York Times Time Magazine. The timing was good – he was nearing the end of his five-year tenure at Chateau Montelena and had long dreamed of starting his own winery.
He located 20-acres in Rutherford – this was bare land at the time – merely grass fields. With the financial help from Austin Hills, Grgich Hills was founded with their first release from the 1977 vintage. Ground was broken on an auspicious day for Mike, July 4, 1977 – symbolizing his own freedom from the former communist part of Europe. The first Grgich Hills wines were a Chardonnay, Zinfandel and a Johannisberg Riesling.
Many people have heard of the 1976 Paris Tasting but not as many are familiar with the Great Chardonnay Showdown organized in 1980 in Chicago. Over 200 Chardonnays were entered in this competition with some International wines also represented. By the end of the competition Grgich Hill's first Chardonnay vintage, the 1977 had triumphed over all the entries. Mike was later honored when he learned that President Ronald Reagan brought some of his Chardonnay to France for a dinner with the president at the time, François Mitterrand.
Mike is certainly one of Napa's living vintner legends; his induction in the Vintner Hall of Fame in 2008 culminated a storied career.
Grgich Hills manages and owns over 360 planted vineyard acres in the Napa Valley with five fully owned vineyards ranging from American Canyon & Carneros in the south, Yountville, the 'home' vineyard in Rutherford and a vineyard north of Calistoga. In fact a small block of Zinfandel in their Calistoga vineyard dates from 1889. The Rutherford vineyard surrounds the winery and is planted almost entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon with just a small block of Petite Verdot.
At one point Grgich Hills was the largest Biodynamically farmed winery and grape grower in the USA. They have refocused their efforts on organic farming and all their vineyards are now farmed this way. They also use solar for much of their power.
Mike is no longer involved in the day to day operations, however his only child, Violet is Vice President of Operations & Sales and Mike's nephew Ivo Jeramaz came to Napa in 1986 and joined the winery and vineyard operations. Today he is Vice President of Vineyards & Production.
The winery is simple and functional – Mike has a saying about wineries, "A chandelier doesn't belong in a winery". The original small stainless steel tanks from their 1977 vintage are still here and are still being used. The winery has expanded significantly since it was built – with additional large barrel rooms having been added on over the years. Several practices that are extremely rare for a Napa winery are how they stack barrels, the type of vessel they use for aging some of the wine and how they "stir" the lees on their Chardonnay wines.
The winery uses an Oxoline barrel stacking system – a series of metal tubes that encircle the barrels with cross supports and 'catwalks' for workers to stand on as needed. This system supports barrels stacked eight high (most wineries we have seen in Napa range from a single barrel to five high). Despite the height it is a fairly stable way of stacking barrels. Case in point: the Napa earthquake of 2014 while centered much further south in the valley and caused more damage in the city of Napa than Rutherford, only caused a loss of 8 barrels at the winery.
Their Chardonnay barrels rest on wheels – so when they want to "stir" the lees – rather than the accepted practice of battonage (inserting a stainless steel tool into the barrel and stirring by hand), one worker simply rotates the barrel 360 degrees, allowing the lees to cloud up the wine and filter back down. A barrel with one wooden head replaced with plexiglass is displayed so you can easily see this process in action.
And they use 1,500 gallon wooden casks for some of their wine – these are called Foudres and are commonly used in France's Rhône Valley.
Each room in the winery is named with a wooden sign above the doorway. One room is called the "Honeymoon Suite" – Mike used to tell visitors "I pick my grapes, they then marry with the aromas of the oak, and I then send both on a long honeymoon". Appropriately a photo of daughter Violet and her husband Colin on their wedding day hangs on the wall next to the entrance to this barrel room.
The wines are all estate grown. Total production depending on the year is usually between 65,000 to 70,000 cases. Their largest produced wine is the Napa Chardonnay. Mike has been called the "King of Chardonnay" and for good reason. His Chardonnay wines have good acid, mouth feel, are food friendly and are not overly oaked. They produce several Chardonnays.
The 2012 vintage was sourced from their cooler Carneros and American Canyon vineyards. This wine sees no secondary (malolactic) fermentation. It shows an appealing bouquet with both citrus characteristics and honeydew melon and a hint of baking spice. It is rounded on the palate, with a sweet note of fruit with a pleasing mouth feel and a lively long finish (melon, red apple).
More recently the winery started producing a special Chardonnay – a commemorative to the Paris Tasting. This wine is only available at the winery and to through the wine clubs. The label is of Mike in his trademark cap – an image created by New Jersey artist, Kevin Sprouls (creator of the Wall Street Journal Portrait Style bio images). The 2012 vintage was created through clonal selection and it ages longer than the Napa Valley Chardonnay. The more subtle aromas do not reveal a beautiful richness of fruit that shows on the palate. However the fruit is tempered to some degree by good acidity so this wine retains its crispness.
Not many Napa wineries label a Sauvignon Blanc as Fumé Blanc. Mike learned of this when working at Robert Mondavi Winery. The 2013 vintage is 100% varietal Sauvignon Blanc – it was aged in the large Foudres casks. The bouquet shows stone fruit aromas including white peach and white nectarine. A sweetness of fruit shows mid palate tempered by a tartness on the finish. This is a polished wine meant to be enjoyed with food.
The 2011 Zinfandel is from their Calistoga Vineyard. The bouquet reveals lively aromas of cherry cola, nuances of white pepper and is slightly dusty. More red fruit than black fruit shows on the palate – strawberry, raspberry and red licorice. It is not a big jammy styled wine that one more commonly finds from California grown Zinfandels. The earthy tannins are well integrated into the finish.
The 2010 Yountville Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is made from some of Napa's oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines – these vines were planted in 1959 (west of Yountville) near Dominus. The vines are planted with what is known as the Inglenook clone and are on St. George rootstock – resistant to several waves of Phylloxera to have afflicted many of Napa's non resistant rootstocks over the years. Unlike other parts of the world, here in Napa it is a rare treat to try a Cabernet Sauvignon that is from vines this old. In the vineyard they are converting over some of the vines back to the way they were historically managed – head pruned rather than on trellising.
The 2010 vintage shows a sweet almost jelly like note on the bouquet – black berry jam. This 'sweetness' carries over to the palate – a perceived sweetness that is from the fruit rather than any residual sugar. Red cherry and blackberry show; this is a robust full-bodied wine. The wine tastes younger than it's age (five years old at the time of our tasting) – the mouth watering finish is anchored by gripping heavy tannins.
The 100% varietal 2011 Merlot are from grapes grown in a cooler part of the valley – Carneros and American Canyon – not to mention 2011 was an unusually cool and damp growing season at times. This wine shows earth, smoke, and saddle leather with cedar box aromas. The wine shows bright fruit and lively tannins with moderate alcohol (13.5%).
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark purple in the glass with black cherry, blackberry and a violet floral component. This wine has very good acidity. It shows higher toned fruit on the palate with a very long finish including tannins that linger. A tartness, perhaps red currant and notes of oak also show on the finish.
The Violetta late harvest wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. These grapes are harvested late in the year after a naturally occurring Botrytis fungus attacks the fruit. This wine is rarely made (only several times in 15+ years), has limited production and is only available at the winery and through their wine clubs. Rich and ripe, the 2012 vintage is layered with aromas of honey, brown sugar and pear. The palate is honeyed and rounded with plenty of sweetness to satisfy dessert wine lovers. One would need a rich cheese to pair with this wine.
Should you be in the area during September and typically much of October, ask about their free grape stomping in which you can help out during this process. You will make juice the old fashioned way; be prepared to get dirty. The grapes for this fun activity are harvested from the short rows of vines in their demonstration vineyard in front of the winery (see below for more details & photos).
The tasting room and gift shop are located at the main entrance. For a very relaxed experience, guests may purchase a flight of wines or by the bottle and weather permitting enjoy these in the outdoor patio. Noise from vehicles on the nearby Highway 29 are muted during certain times of the year – from late Spring through mid Fall when the vines are covered in leaves.
For those looking for a more in depth visit experience, Grgich Hills offers the "Unforgettable Educational Wine Experience" tour and tasting. This lasts from 60 to 90 minutes and touches on both Mike's history and accolades of 50+ vintages in the valley, includes a walk through of the actual winery and culminates with a tasting in their VIP room. Unlike many wineries, Grgich Hills has older vintages for sale in the tasting room. Also note they have barrel tastings most Fridays from 2-4pm and this is included with the main tasting fee.
A tasteful souvenir section is located near the tasting counters including Mike Grgich Bobble Head Dolls. This is one of only several Napa wineries we've visited who have memorialized their founder with the bobbing bobble head!
Two wine clubs are available – appropriately named Miljenko's Cellar Club (Mike's Croatian name) and Violet's Pre-Release Case Club after his daughter Violet.
The winery is located on the west side of St. Helena Highway (Highway 29) in Rutherford; the wine train travels directly across their driveway. You may be treated to a blast from its loud horn if you are visiting mid day or later in the afternoon when the wine train returns. The operation of the wine train was somewhat controversial when it first was introduced to the Napa Valley. Now it is a well established somewhat iconic presence in the valley, running from the city of Napa to St. Helena. With a perspective on trains coming more so from growing up in Europe rather than the United States, Mike embraced the Wine Train from it's beginning.
The Wine Train offers an optional stop for it's guests at Grgich Hills and then continues up to St. Helena. The winery offers an hour tour for these guests which are then picked up when the train heads back south (your call to board is clearly heard with the blast of the train's horn!).
The annual Grgich grape stomp is usually offered from mid/end of August through mid to end of October (timing always changes slightly depending on each year's actual harvest dates). Grgich Hill is the primary winery in the Napa Valley to offer this – although we are aware of at least one other winery selectively offering this (Sterling). The stomp is held among their small demo vineyard rows in the front of the winery. No appointments are needed for groups of 8 or under and the mornings are recommended because it is usually the least crowded (especially on the weekends). Several barrels of grapes are available – visitors get to slosh around to their heart's content – posing for photos.
The juice created from the stomping is not used to make wine, rather it is put back into their vineyards as compost. Each guest receives a souvenir glass and a glass of wine to enjoy before or after or perhaps during the stomp. Once your feet are covered in grape juice you clear off the skins and then step onto the back of a white t shirt, effectively leaving a perfect outline (and memory) of your time stomping grapes in the Napa Valley. The t-shirts are then allowed to dry (10-15 mins if its sunny outside).
In 1996 Mike founded a second winery (Grgić Vina) in Croatia. The winery is located in the tiny village of Trstenik (population slightly over 100 people) along a stunning part of Croatia's coastline perched above the Adriatic Sea. This is about a 90 minute car ride north of Dubrovnik. The winery produces about 4,000 cases of wine annually focusing on two Croatian varietals, Pošip – a white wine and Plavac Mali. With the help of Napa's own viticulture doctor, Dr. Carole Meredith, it was proven that Zinfandel was actually Crljenak Kaštelanski, a grape native to Croatia and the parent of Plavac Mali. Carole even stayed at the winery during her time researching this.
Grgich has worked for many years with Roots of Peace, an organization dedicated to removing landmines from war affected countries including his native Croatia. The Roots of Peace Fountain is located at the entrance to the winery. On the 7th anniversary of 9/11, Mike and Roots of Peace founder Heidi Kuhn placed the first coins in this fountain. From then on, all useable coins tossed into the waters are collected and donated to Roots of Peace (their primary focus is to turn minefields into vineyards and or make the land once more productive).
Visit and photos coming by mid 2019.

In der Umgebung von Queralbs finden sich zahlreiche Höhlen, in denen steinzeitliche Funde gemacht wurden, die eine frühe Besiedlung der Gegend belegen.

Die erste schriftliche Nennung des Ortes Cairosalbos findet sich in einem Dokument zur Weihe der Kathedrale von La Seu d'Urgell aus dem Jahr 839. Aus dem 10. Jahrhundert stammt die romanische Kirche Sant Jaume. Bis zum 12. Jahrhundert gehörten die Weiden der Gegend den Klöstern Sant Joan de les Abadesses und Santa Maria de Ripoll. 1273 verpachtete die katalanische Krone das Land dann direkt an die Bewohner von Queralbs und Fustanyà.

Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert gehörte der Ort zur Herrschaft verschiedener Feudalherren: ab 1280 Pere de Montclar, ab 1339 Ramon de Ribes und ab 1383 Pere Galceran de Pinós.

Am 2. Februar 1428 wurde Queralbs durch ein Erdbeben, bei dem zahlreiche seiner Bewohner den Tod fanden, stark beschädigt.

Wirtschaft
Neben der traditionellen Viehzucht und dem 1903 aufgenommenen Betrieb von Wasserkraftwerken, ist Tourismus die Haupteinnahmequelle des Ortes, insbesondere seit 1931 die Zahnradbahn Cremallera de Núria auf der Strecke von Ribes de Freser in das Tal von Núria in Queralbs Station macht. Zu den bekannten – immer wiederkehrenden – Gästen des Ortes zählt der ehemalige Präsident der katalanischen Regierung (1980–2003) Jordi Pujol (* 1930).

This piercing is made by a needle which will be more like getting an injection; rather than a piercing gun which will feel like a stapler pin going through the baby's skin.
This piercing is ideal for small, intricate piercings, the upper lobe piercing is exactly that. Depending on your ear size, some people can fit up to three piercings between this spot and the lower lobe.
This piercing is done in the outer part of the ear which is called the auricle, between the helix and the earlobe. It has become one of the most fashionable ear piercing options due to its outward location which is great for flaunting fancy body jewellery.
This piercing refers to the middle section of the ear. There is both an inner conch, which is when a stud is punctured right through the middle, and an outer conch where a hoop will start in the middle, but hug the outer edge of your ear.
A helix piercing typically sits at the top of your ear cartilage. There's plenty of room in this area, so double and triple helix piercings are quite common.
This is a cartilage piercing where the jewellery sits on the outside of the ear, as opposed to the inside. It's perfect for people whose ears fold over a little at the top.
This piercing requires two holes, both in the outer cartilage. They're usually punctured diagonally opposite each other (but the angle is up to you), and linked together with a barbell.
This piercing is designed to describe the cluster of piercings that basically resemble a constellation.
This piercing sits flat through the 'flat' area of skin between your ear canal and cartilage.
If you have space for two earrings on your lobe, why not go for a vertical lobe piercing, which sees two studs stacked on top of each other.
Sitting just above your ear canal, is the tragus. The size varies greatly from person to person, but it's usually only big enough for one piercing, whether it's a stud or a hoop.
Just above the daith sits a ridge, which is referred to as a rook. A curved barbell is usually the jewellery of choice for this spot.
Sitting slightly above the anti-tragus is a piercing spot called the 'snug'. Possibly because of how snugly a small hoop hugs it.
This piercing is when one piece of jewellery goes through two (or sometimes more) piercings. It's commonly done in the lobes, but can sit anywhere else in the ear as well.
This piercing sits opposite the tragus with a similar pointy shape.
This piercing sits through the most inner part of the ear's cartilage. Interestingly, some people find this piercing offers them relief from severe headaches and migraines, although there is still no hard evidence as to why.
These piercings are absolutely to die for. You need three or more earrings of the same design, but different sizes. These piercings are a combination of three or more piercings done on the lobe at a certain interval from each other. You may use pretty hoops or gem studs.
These piercings are usually done with barbell. The earlobe is pierced horizontally at an angle and a piece of jewellery is passed through both the perforations, which makes the piercing an immediate eye-catching one.
This piercing sits on the inner and top half of your ear cartilage, it can be a single stud or ring, as well as a series of piercings.
This is a facial piercing through the cheek. The most common variation of the cheek piercing penetrates the facial tissue into the oral cavity. The usual placement is symmetrical on either side of the face, either penetrating or imitating dimples.
This is a facial piercing that is placed above the cheek bone or below the eyebrow. This piercing is also known as upper cheek piercings, tears, and teardrops.
This eyebrow piercing is a type of surface piercing that is placed horizontally along the line of the eyebrow.
This eyebrow piercing is a vertical surface piercing.
The septum or nasal septum is the cartilaginous wall that divides the two nostrils.The cartilage is, however, usually not pierced. It is the thin strip of very soft and flexible skin, just between the cartilage and the bottom of the nose.
The septum or nasal septum is the cartilaginous wall that divides the two nostrils. The cartilage is, however, usually not pierced. It is the thin strip of very soft and flexible skin, just between the cartilage and the bottom of the nose, where septum piercing is mostly done.

A spider bites piercing is actually two separate piercings that are placed near each other off to one side of the lower liparea.
These are single piercings done in the center of both the upper and lower lips.
This is a pair of double piercings, located on both sides of the lower lip. In total, shark bite piercings make four holes in two symmetrical sets.
This piercing is placed on the corner of the mouth is pierced with a labret stud, as close to the corners as possible to create a lengthening effect.
This piercing is placed above the upper lip.
This piercing is an upper lip piercing that is very similar to a labret piercing, or more specifically a vertical labret piercing. It is placed in the philtrum of the upper lip, directly under the nasal septum.
This is a lip piercing placed off-center, above the upper lip on the left-hand side and is meant to resemble Marilyn Monroe's beauty spot, although Monroe's beauty spot was on her cheek, not her lip. The Madonna piercing is similar but worn on the right-hand side.
This piercing gets its name from the pop singer Madonna, but also from the model Cindy Crawford, since they both had a beauty mark in the same spot. This piercing is located on the left side of the upper lip.
This piercing is actually a pair of piercings placed immediately below the lower lip, fairly closely together to the right and left of the central area.
This piercing goes through the skin just below the bottom lip and out through the back into the gum opposite.
This piercing is placed through the lower lip and can be simply considered a form of surface piercing.
This piercing is placed as low as possible under the lip.
This piercing is below the bottom lip, above the chin.
This piercing is the most common type. The jewelry goes straight through the middle of the tongue.
This piercing, also known as the web piercing is a body piercing through the frenulum underneath the tongue (frenulum linguae).
This piercing is when you have your tongue pierced in two areas near the front of the tongue.

This piercing can be placed on any one of the fingers, most notably the ring finger. Usually on the back of the hand near the base of the finger.
This piercing resembles lower back dimples, also known as Venusian dimples which are symmetrical indentations sometimes visible on the human lower back, just superior to the gluteal cleft.
This is a piercing in the pelvic area through the skin near the hip bone. Hip piercings are often done in couplets with one on each hip, but it is not unusual to see only one. Hips piercing are a type of surface piercing.
This piercing, sometimes also referred to as a madison, is typically positioned on the front of the neck, often in the fleshy part just between your collarbones.
This piercing is a type of surface piercing that's located on any point along the sternum (breastbone). Although sternum piercings are often placed vertically between the breasts, they may also be done horizontally under the collar bone.
This piercing is also referred to as a belly button piercing or an umbilical dip piercing. This piercing located through, in, or around, the navel.

It would have been the first time if the WolfPack men's soccer team had managed to make the CIS playoffs, but the final spot in the Pacific division eluded them by just one point.
At any rate, it was the team's best showing in the team's three-season history with CIS. All told, the WolfPack placed fifth in their division and the team brought forward its winningest season thus far, with a 0.406 win percentage, besting the 14-15 season (0.250) and 15-16 season (0.375).
Two losses, only one of them their own, kept them from clenching fourth place in their division and a playoff spot.
The team was away to finish off their season, playing the fifth place UVic Vikes on Friday and the first place UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday.
On Friday, the 'Pack blew a one-goal lead and suffered a 3-1 loss to the Vikes. It put the team in a tough spot: they had to win or tie their game against UBC and UBCO had to lose or tie their game against the Vikes on the same day.
Against UBC, the 'Pack got hit hard in the first half, going down by two goals. They mustered just one in return, a cross from the right sideline by Ryan Glanville.
"Today we did play consistent, but our biggest obstacle moving forward is to be able to get over the mental hurdle that we can compete on a consistent basis. We have an excellent core which we can build upon for next year. We need to add just a few more pieces. We had our destiny on our own hands and failed to act on it. We allowed UBCO to take it away from us," said head coach John Antulov following the game.
Over the past season, TRU's offense has been dominated by two players in particular. Ryan Glanville finished the season tied for 7th league-wide in goals scored, putting 10 away in 15 games played. Justin Donaldson is the other, who scored 8 goals in 14 games. Also of note was Mitchell Popadynetz, who put up 41 shots and 5 assists in 16 games.
TRU's keeper, Claye Harsany, who played all 16 games and shut out 5 of them, made 40 saves on the season and ended with a 0.645 save percentage.


But first a bit about the base color.
I used the Etude House nail polish DPP504 - Bye Violet from my 10th Gmarket order. This nail polish and the Etude House DGR703 - Mink Mint, are my favorites from the new additions to the Etude House Dear my deep color range. It really did not disappoint me. This is a very beautiful dark lavender nail polish. It somewhat reminds me of purple chocolate Smarties. My camera had some trouble capturing the color and it leaned a bit to the blue side in the pictures. The first picture is the closest to the original color as you see it.
Now, let's look at how the Peripera nail polish WH806 - Winter Berry is like on top.
This special edition Christmas nail polish has white, matte squares, red, metallic squares, very narrow white bar glitters in a transparent base with shimmery glitters. The bar glitters seems to be half the width of a normal bar glitter and this really helps in placing the glitters on the nails properly. But on the other hand, the bar glitters do not stick to the nails as good due to the smaller surface. It is recommended to use a top coat. For the pictures, I did not use it, but it would probably bring the glitters out more and make the nails look more sparkly.
It was quite difficult finding the right base color to match with this nail polish and I am not really satisfied with how it looks with purple. I still need to do more experimenting. It helps that I now have nail polish display wheels, so that I can just place a swatch of this nail polish on top of false nails with other nail colors and see how it looks.

A human-computer interaction (HCI) researcher was interested in examining
whether humans are better able to use a joystick or a mouse to point a computer cursor.
She therefore constructed an experiment in which participants used either a joystick
(joystick condition) or a mouse (mouse condition) to point a cursor to a target displayed on
a computer monitor. She measured the time (seconds) that it took to place the cursor over
the target (dependent variable referred to as time, where a higher time score indicates
poorer performance). To determine whether potential benefits of using the joystick or
mouse generalized to difficult HCI scenarios, the target was either stationary (static
condition) or moved slowly across the computer screen at a constant velocity (motion
condition). Participants were randomly and uniquely assigned to 1 of 4 conditions in the
interface (levels: joystick, mouse) × target type (levels: static, motion) experimental design.
Given the data collected by the researcher (see Table 1 below), what can she conclude
about how easily humans interact these HCI interfaces and how are these HCI interfaces
influenced by target type? Include a line graph of the means.
Table 1. Target localization times in the interface × target type conditions.

fe, Alfred was surrounded by science. His father taught him basic principles of engineering and explosives, this went on to be his main interests later in life. Alfred grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, born: 21st October 1833. However, his family moved to Saint Petersburg in 1842 due to his father's various business failures. Once in the city his father became successful as a manufacturer of tools and explosives. Now wealthy, Alfred's parents were able to send him to private tutors and he excelled in his studies, specifically chemistry and languages. Fun fact: Alfred Nobel was fluent in English, French, German, Russian and of course Swedish. In 1850, Alfred moved to Paris to continue his studies. He met Ascanio Sobrero, who invented nitroglycerin 3 years earlier. Alfred was intrigued by the instability of Nitroglycerin and went to America to research further. After the Crimean War (1853-1856) Alfred's father had difficulty switching back to domestic production, so he declared the company bankrupt. In 1859, Immanuel ( his father ) handed the company down to his second son, Ludvig Nobel who went on to greatly improve the business. Nobel devoted himself to the obdurate study of explosives, especially the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerin. On the 3rd of September 1864, part of a nitroglycerin factory exploded in Heleneborg, Stockholm, killing 5 people including Alfred's younger brother Emil. However, Alfred continued building factories and developing new technology, unfazed by this. Finally in 1866 Nobel invented dynamite. A more stable compound of Nitroglycerin and Diatomaceous earth, which is a soft rock mostly made of fossilised algae. He moulded it into cylinder shaped sticks and used blasting caps (which he invented a few years earlier) to allow for the safe ignition of such a powerful explosive. He lived the rest of his life being showered in awards from multiple universities and had an award named after him, The Nobel Prize. He was very rich and his money ended up being used to fund these yearly prizes that bear his name. Alfred was a lonely person, he never made a family of his own or got married. He had an interest in literature and often wrote poetry, novels and plays. He once wrote, "Numerous friends are to be found only among dog>
