Flyin' High
The Goose Is Loose
Is The Last Waltz The Greatest Music Documentary?
Hard to believe it's been 40 years since The Band brought together their friends on Thanksgiving 1976 and threw one of the greatest rock 'n roll parties of all time.
Luckily for us, they got Martin Scorsese to document the event in what is probably the greatest concert movie of all time, The Last Waltz. In fact, this isn't just a concert movie, it's a great documentary that captures the life and times of The Band and their influence on music and culture in the 70s.
To coincide with its 40th anniversary, there are some new and expanded versions of the concert album that are worth checking out.
It's hard to even pick highlights from the show because there were so many. From their first guest Ronnie Hawkins to Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Dr. John and Eric Clapton, the incredible artists just kept coming throughout the night.
Apart from the music itself, one of our favorite moments is when Neil Young is on stage and Robbie Robertson points out the copious amount of cocaine clearly visible on Neil's nose. Whoops!
Discord In The Band
Not everyone in The Band was happy about closing up shop and getting off the road. Robbie Robertson said they needed to get off the road to save themselves from the lifestyle that was causing some band members to fall to temptation -- the late nights, the constant partying, the drugs and grueling travel.
You can clearly see Levon Helm seething with anger at some points during the movie, when they're hanging out in their Malibu studio aptly named Shangri-La.
In addition to The Last Waltz, there's a great making-of documentary about The Band called Classic Albums: The Band. If you're a fan of their music, it's a must-see chronicle of their breakthrough record, aptly titled The Band.
And stay tuned for a new book from Robbie Robertson that chronicles the life and times of this amazing group, out soon to coincide with the 40th anniversary of The Last Waltz.

Handbook of the Unknowable (2016) TEKS Publishing, NO
We are all Explorer Fish
Sarah Jane Pell conjures a possible alternative way of living and being in space
Eds. Rachel Armstrong, Rolf Hughes, Espen Gangvik, TEKS Publishing, NO. pp 65-71.
This Handbook of the Unknowable came about as a conversation between Espen Gangvik, Director Trondheim Biennale, Norway, Rachel Armstrong, Professor of Experimental Architecture, Newcastle University, UK, and Rolf Hughes, Head of Research and Professor of Artistic Research at Stockholm University of the Arts, Sweden. The discussion related to how the arts and space communities may explore productive research conversations in a festival setting. The idea that the publication itself could be viewed in dialogue with the Biennale programme came about as an alternative reading of the festival theme 'It's Nice to be in Orbit' for Meta.Morf 2016. Conceptually, the publication represents a journey from the present understanding and engagement with 'space' towards an uncertain, yet optimistic future 'among the stars'. The reader is invited to imagine the near-term prospect of human space habitation. If it is the case that we relate to the extraordinary terrains that make up our solar system in an almost mundane, technological, colonizing mindset today, then the work presented here – with its reverent insistence on enchantment – is offered as a necessary counterpoint. We will not imagine the unimaginable unless some brave souls start to help us do so.
Such a "handbook" – the editors have deliberately chosen the name of such a pragmatic or practical genre in order to smash it against the mysterious concept of "unknowability", thereby creating an alternative vision to that articulated so suavely in countless techno-utopian space reports – invites discovery while simultaneously declaring the impossibility of any notion of resolution in such hypercomplex, alien and vast spaces. In other words space remains both familiar and exotic. We are confronted not only with the strangeness of matter but also with the irreducibility of ourselves. Space, in short, can be said to be queer in every sense of the term. This means our acquired habits and existing knowledge sets are unlikely to get us very far. We'll need to find ways to think against (and outside) ourselves. Here the arts can be an important ally.
We have sought to engage readers in ways that reach escape velocity from the traditions of artist manifesto critiques and historical documentation of space exploration through an experimental approach to writing. Using creative and critical writing (essays, poetry and fiction), interlaced with artworks, an exploratory condition is proposed where ruptures in our thinking about the possibilities of space may be precipitated. We believe that it is essential that artistic insights, methods, and knowledge establish new ways of being before these environments are completely colonized by established terrestrial ideologies, practices and ways of living that conceive of the unknowable as a mere extrapolation of what already exists rather than a genuine alternative way of being. The arts, we suspect, currently offer our best chance for thinking beyond ourselves – hence this publication.

We are all Explorer Fish [Excerpt]
Dear Earth family,
To many of you, I am still the girl who grew up in the satellite: a curious human who would always be out of your world, and therefore out of your thoughts. However, I think of you all constantly. I can access to your data streams, your libraries, and operating systems, and I think and feel just like you. Growing up in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude between 160 and 2,000 kilometers (orbital period between ~88 minutes and 127 minutes) from you on Earth, has given me a lot of space for internal reflection, and a great deal of time to imagine. I imagine your unique smells, tastes and the sensations you feel and experience on planet Earth: from the gravity and winds and changes in temperatures that you hardly notice.
I write this open letter to all of humanity, not to explain how different I am, but I wanted to share with you my story, to show you how similar we are, because now more than ever, I need your understanding, and to feel that you are with me. Like many premature babies on Earth, my lungs took the most time to develop. Supported by Liquid Oxygen and nourished by embryonic fluids for an additional period, gave me the radiation shielding I needed while my body began to grow beyond my mother's womb. H3O is Oxygen-rich as the elemental name suggests: delivered in vivo from birth. H3O extraction is difficult but it is especially hindered by microgravity. Fluid behaves differently in space: it clings to the periphery of any container and doesn't drain from the lungs without a vacuum and heater. The procedure can be violent and distressing for any child.
Luckily, my mother met a planetary scientist Dr. O'Kay at NASA Ames in 2006, and my father knew him through the Astronaut Corps conducting experiments on the ISS. It was surprising when a planetary scientist took control of their post-flight care at NASA Johnson Space Centre in 2017, however it saved my life. O'Kay felt it was his duty to also protect and leverage my unique astrobiological status for the purpose of advancing knowledge, exploration, and human survival. He had long argued that the unique geology of Mars might have allowed a faster path to multicellular life than the one followed on Earth. He would say, we know that Mars "is a biocompatible planet". So ethically, if we find it, we should remove any Earth-life and help seed Martian life. In a similar vein, O'Kay argued that my incubation should be as long as possible. I should also be centrifuged daily to redistribute fluids to encourage growth and build bone density. Not for the purpose of visiting Earth's gravity – no that would certainly kill me – but for the long duration space missions to Mars.
The newly established space-pediatrics team listened, and the centrifuge helped to lessen the violence of the process to remove H3O from my body in microgravity. Now I have grown tall and have 'space normal' fitness. I can support high partial pressures of carbon dioxide for prolonged durations, due to the high concentration of residual Oxygen in my blood. Apart from occasional acidosis, I also have a good tolerance of Oxygen and rarely experience its toxic side effects. With these unique capabilities, I serve you today as the first human sensing agent on the human-robotic exploration to see whether sufficiently large and accessible volatile inventories are available on Mars.
Writing to you from Laputa: the Mars lander hovering over the moon Phobos in aerosynchronous orbit for a scheduled sleep before our surface rendezvous, I can see high ice clouds and gigantic dust storms below. I write to relax and prepare as my mind races with the details of the mission. The anticipation of an overwhelming sensory complexity when I land on the surface of Mars tomorrow is intense...

There's a process to remove incapable presidents, but it probably won't be used on Trump — yet
By Patrick Cain	Global News

John F. Kennedy's assassination in November of 1963 exposed some awkward flaws in the U.S. constitution.
Vice-President Lyndon Johnson was sworn into the presidency at the Dallas airport by a Texas judge (a moment captured by an iconic photograph.) But the constitution didn't help answer some crucial questions: How, exactly, does a vice-president become president? How would a new vice-president be chosen? What if Kennedy hadn't been killed, but wounded in a way that made it impossible to carry out his duties?
READ MORE: Trump asked ex-FBI director James Comey to stop investigating Flynn's Russia ties: reports
Earlier ages had been content to let these questions rest.
Woodrow Wilson, for example, suffered a stroke in October of 1919, and some historians believe that the presidency was largely carried on by Wilson's wife Edith for the next year and a half. Franklin D. Roosevelt's illness was kept rigidly secret until his death in April of 1945. (Vice-President Harry Truman, who had to fill FDR's shoes, had been given no preparation at all — he didn't know about the U.S. atomic bomb program until two weeks after Roosevelt's death.)
A slower-paced age could work around these situations, but with the high-stakes nuclear decision-making of the Cold War, much more formal rules were needed.

Kennedy's death forced Congress to do something about it. The 25th amendment to the constitution dealt with succession issues, and also laid out rules for what would happen if a president was"unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
The amendment's longest clause deals with a situation where the people around a president felt he was incapable, but he disagreed. Here's how it begins:
Whenever the Vice-President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments (cabinet members) or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore (speaker) of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice-President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
In other words, if U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence and at least eight of the 15 members of the U.S. cabinet were willing to depose Donald Trump, they could do it, and Pence would become acting president on the spot. (Bear in mind that Donald Trump named all the members of his cabinet, and if he sensed a plot against him, he could fire them and replace them with loyalists.)
READ: Could Donald Trump's firing of James Comey lead to impeachment?
"Unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" is a very open-ended phrase. It could cover physical or mental illness, but arguably could be stretched to cover a president's catastrophic issues with judgement or competence, in extreme cases. What it means in any given situation is left open to the people making the decision.
"Or of such other body as Congress may by law provide": Congress has never acted on this provision, but a Democratic congressman, Earl Blumenauer, recently introduced a bill to provide for a sort of council, made of of living former presidents and vice-presidents of both parties, who would decide if a president was so unfit for office that he should be deposed.
Where it all gets messy is if the president pushes back:
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice-President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
In other words: if the president wants his job back, he tells Congress, and the vice-president and cabinet members who want him deposed have four days to tell Congress that they still want to proceed with deposing him. (We can imagine the drama of these four days; the suspended president could no longer fire the cabinet members that turned on him, but pressure on a few of them might bring the total below eight votes. On the other hand, if the process failed at this stage, the president would have no way of getting rid of a plotting vice-president, who is an elected official in his own right.)
Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice-President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
WATCH: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was asked about the case for impeachment on President Trump saying, "it's very hard."
1:56 Nancy Pelosi says it's very hard to impeach President Trump
Nancy Pelosi says it's very hard to impeach President Trump
So if a president wants to continue in office, he will, unless there is an overwhelming consensus in both parties in both houses of Congress, and in the administration that he himself chose, that he needs to be forced out.
It's a very, very high standard to have to meet. But it's easy to see what the framers of this clause were trying to do — presidents mostly enter office with a high level of democratic legitimacy, and all of them with constitutional legitimacy. Undoing the voters' decision might be necessary, but only as a necessary evil in response to an extreme crisis. It also puts the process out of reach of being abused by a Congress that is controlled by the opposite party from the president.
The impeachment process is designed to give a president accused of real crimes a chance to defend himself, as he would be able to in a courtroom. "Inability" is a more subjective standard, and so the framers seem to have compensated by setting a higher bar for removing a president than for impeachment (a simple majority in the House to start the process, and a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict).
READ: Why a 'nuclear mutiny' against a President Donald Trump would likely fail
In the first few months of his administration, Donald Trump has lurched from crisis to crisis to crisis to crisis. He has seemed profoundly, and publicly, out of his depth on many levels.
(His White House has not yet been tested by a crisis external to itself, but it is certainly coming, as real crises have happened to all his predecessors.)
Can his administration continue until January 20, 2021, which is (at the time of writing) 1,345 days, or 3.6 years, from now?
Or will it continue, but in a less accident-prone way?
That would be nice to imagine, but Trump is, for better or worse, Trump. He is 70 years old, set in his ways, and, conservative commentator Erick Erickson writes, " … he does not want advice, cannot be corrected, and is too insecure to see any constructive feedback as anything other than an attack."
So many (not many Republicans, at least in public) have started exploring impeachment, or removal under the 25th Amendment. The conversation is a bit theoretical, not least because Republicans control both houses of Congress.
Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Article 4. We're all going to be talking a lot more about it in the months ahead.
— David Frum (@davidfrum) November 16, 2016
That's not going to change before midterm elections in 2018, in which Democrats may get the seats they need in the House to start an impeachment process, but are unlikely to get the Senate seats they would need to complete it, unless a significant number of Republicans start supporting impeachment.
So will we see any of the constitutional machinery for removing a president rumbling into action?
It's hard to see it happening, unless the medium-sized crises get so much worse, or a really big crisis is so mishandled, that a critical mass of Republicans see Trump's removal from office as a matter of self-preservation or decide to support it as a matter of patriotism, or some combination of both.

Q: How to do data migrations inside an EF Core code first migration? I have a Code First EF Core project.
In my schema migration, I need to do a data migration to an external database.  So I can't fall back on migrationBuilder.Sql().  What I need to do is run a query on the local database and insert the data returned into the external database.  In other words, I want to do something like this:
// Obviously this is pseudo-code; these interfaces mostly don't exist
protected override void Up(MigrationBuilder migrationBuilder)
{
  var results = migrationBuilder.GetQueryResults("some query");
  using (var extDb = new ExternalDb())
  {
    foreach (var row in results)
    {
      InsertToExternalDb(row, extDb);
    }
  }
}

But I can't find any method on MigrationBuilder that returns rows from the current database, and I can't even find a way to get the connection string such that I could write a raw ADO query to the current database.
Any other ideas how I could do this?

A: The scenario doesn't fall within the capability of migrations for EF Core 1.0.0. The MigrationBuilder API is designed to build SQL for transforming database schema, and isn't designed for working with multiple databases.
You can inspect the implementation of migrations for yourself in EF Core's source code at https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework/tree/1.0.0/src/Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational/Migrations.
To accomplish a data migration between databases, you'll need to write your own code outside of EF Core migrations.

Daredevil's Season 4 is not coming back on Netflix! What has happened? Know all the related information here.
Season 4 of the Daredevil is not happening anymore! Yes, you read it right.
Marvel's Daredevil shortly known as Daredevil is a web series based on the Marvel comic characters. It is premiered on Netflix. This series covers the story about a blind lawyer by day named Matt Murdock or Daredevil who fights against the crime as a masked spy by night.
Already three seasons have been released so far. The third season has got a very great response and reviews from the audience. There is a wait for the release of the next season i.e. Season 4. But now there is news that Season 4 will not be releasing on Netflix.
WHY THERE WILL BE NO SEASON 4?
As per the sources there will be no Season 4 now because Netflix has finished their contract with Disney. Disney will soon be launching their new channel called Disney+ where they will telecast all the new series and shows. So, if in case Season 4 of Daredevil would come it will be airing on Disney+.
There are rumors also that the previous seasons of the Daredevil might be removed from the Netflix which is a very disappointed situation for the fans.
Charlie Cox who played the role of Daredevil in an interview told that he is going through mixed feelings. He told, after the massive success of season 3 he is expecting something more great for season 4 but now after the news of not coming back of Season 4 he is little shocked and sad.
Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Wilson Fisk also mentioned that he is surprised by such news as he just enjoy working with other actors of Daredevil.
It's very upsetting for the fans. Some of the fans started various social media campaigns along with the #SaveDareDevil petition. They are still in a hope that Netflix might change their decision and release Season 4.

Grandmama
Jaleel White (story)
Best Friends Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool
Grandmama is the seventh episode of the fifth season in this television sitcom on Family Matters, which was aired from ABC on November 5, 1993. It was directed by Richard Correll and written by Fred Fox Jr. and Jim Geoghan.
3.2.2 Guest
When Eddie dumps Urkel as his partner in a prestigious 2-on-2 basketball tournament in favor of a star player (Darius McCrary's real life brother, Donovan McCrary as Kenny "The Spider" Jackson), the nerd turns to Grandmama (NBA star Larry Johnson's alter ego). Meanwhile, Carl and Harriette quarrel over Laura's curfew.
Eddie is munching on a sandwich when Steve comes in the kitchen to talk to him about being partners for an upcoming 2-on-2 basketball game. At first, it was a come on deal from him and he asks Urkel what do they get if they win. Steve tells him season tickets all of the Chicago Bulls home games. He agrees to be Urkel's partner in the upcoming tournament.
In the living room, Laura is real depressed when Carl comes down the living room, blaming himself for not fixing the bathroom light before realizing that he has mistaken Harriette's candle for his stick deodorant. She's still depressed and he ask her what's wrong. Laura tells him that there's a party with all the cute guys, that she wants to go to but her mother tells her she has to be home by midnight. Carl brightens her mood by telling her that she can stay an extra hour.
In Downtown Chicago, the sign ups for the 3rd Annual 2-on-2 City Basketball Tournament is under way and both Waldo and Weasel complained that they're last in line. Eddie and Steve shows up a moment later to talk to them. Urkel decides to sign them up as partners. During that time, star player, Kenny "the Spider" Jackson shows up looking for a partner. Eddie agrees to be his partner in the tournament, as he thinks he has a better chance of winning the tickets. His buddies aren't amused by what happened and weren't even happy for him being Kenny's partner. Waldo reminds him that he and Steve were supposed to be partners. Eddie realizes his mistake but the damage is already done and tells Urkel about it. A disheartened Steve leaves him, partnerless and that their friendship is over.
In the living room of the Winslow house, Harriette is worried about Laura because she hasn't come home from the party. Her spirits jump assuming it's her daughter but isn't too thrilled when Carl comes home. He tells Harriette that he let Laura stay a little longer tonight and she accuses him of countermanding her. Carl tells her that he merely adjusted her decision. Harriette tells him when she made that decision, he's supposed to agree with her and walks off angry at him.
The next day at the living room, Estelle is knitting when Steve arrives and she's glad to see him. She understands that he and Eddie had a falling out with each other. Urkel agrees and tells her that they were supposed to be partners for a basketball tournament but he dumped him for star player, Kenny "The Spider" Jackson. Estelle feels sympathy for him and tells him that she has found the right partner for him. Steve asks if the person she knows is a guy. She tells Urkel, she's a girl and is a very good basketball player. Steve asks her how did she know this person. She met her at the senior center and then someone knocks on the door. Estelle is excited to introduce him to Grandmama. Steve tells her that many players had memorable names and he's stuck with her. He thinks it won't work as he opens the door to let Grandmama (Larry Johnson in his alter ego) in. She's a seven foot tall lady, wearing 50's type glasses, with short dark grey hair adorned with a hat, a light blue flower dress and black sneakers. She comes in with a baked cake for Estelle and Urkel is excited about working with her.
At the tournament, Steve shows up to see Eddie but is still upset with him for what he did. Weasel asked what loser decided to partner up with him. Urkel tells him to watch his mouth on how he treats her. Grandmama shows up in the same dress from yesterday, except she changed into a sports bra. Steve introduces her to the guys and he tells them that she'll be their worst nightmare. The referee shows up to announce the tournament has started and asks the first two teams on the court. The tournament begins with Eddie and The Spider against their first opponent, which they beat with ease. Steve is worried but Grandmama isn't and reassures him. He and Grandmama beat Langford and Barney, causing Eddie and Kenny to worry about them. Their next opponent had trouble faring against her, causing everyone on the courts to laugh at them. Steve passes the ball to Grandmama, who scores over three times. During that time, she has trouble with her girdle and Urkel shows her free it by sticking out her knees. It's Waldo and Weasel's turn against their opponents. This time it's them who's having the trouble. Weasel is upset and calls Waldo out for what's happened. He even told him he was practicing. Waldo said he did but he mentions that he practiced the harmonica. Weasel is even more upset at him, having realized that Waldo blew off practicing playing basketball for his harmonica.
At the Winslow house: inside the kitchen, Carl asks Laura to tell Harriette that she need to buy some more bologna because they're out. She counters by having their daughter tell him that as long as he lives in this house they'll never be out of bologna. Carl's had enough and demands for his anniversary gift back. Harriette tells him she already exchanged it and he tells her it was a cheap gift anyway. They start arguing again until Laura is fed with their fighting and she tells them to stop. She tells them that she knows what they were fighting about, her original curfew. They try to deny it of course but Laura already knows the truth. She admits that when she asked her mother if she could stay out for an extra hour and she refused, she should have listened to her mother. Harriette agrees and tells her that she should leave it alone. Laura also admitted that she didn't listen to her and was also wrong in conning her father into letting her stay after curfew. Carl tried to convince her that he allowed her to stay out but she already made up her mind. She grounds herself for a week and leaves the kitchen to serve her time. After Laura leaves for her room, Carl and Harriette makes up knowing that she's taking responsibility for herself.
Back to the Basketball tournament, Eddie and Kenny along with Steve and Grandmama have advanced to the semifinals. Eventually, they meet up in the finals and during the time the score is tied 10 a piece. Grandmama is injured with her knee and Kenny is forced to the sidelines, after being threatened by her. It's Eddie vs Urkel for the final point, with Steve making the final point to win for him and Grandmama. Everyone erupts in cheers for them, except for Eddie who bitches at Kenny for losing.
At the Winslow home in the living room, Eddie is sitting on a chair and he nursing his busted up knee. Steve comes in and he treats him like a champion. Urkel was wary and shouldn't mistake it for a lost friendship. Eddie admits he deserved it because he got greedy and he wanted to win the Bulls tickets so bad. He thought he would've had a terrible chance if Steve remained his partner, causing him to ditch his friend. Eddie mentioned that he thought partnering up Kenny would've increased his chances of winning the Bulls tickets. He also admits that he ended up as a three time loser - he lost the tournament, hurt his knee and lost a good friendship with Urkel. He asks for forgiveness from him and Steve tells him they'll discuss it at the Chicago Bulls game. He has found out that Grandmama is a fan of the Charlotte Hornets and gives her ticket to Eddie. During the closing credits, as Urkel and Eddie are about to leave, Grandmama shows up and has spent the day with Estelle giving her a complete makeover. She tells them she's now a knock out. Mother Winslow shows up in the same fashion as her friend and both Eddie and Steve are surprised.

Keith Urban: Defying Gravity
Dave Heaton
Call him the Fabio of country music, if you will, but Keith Urban's devotion to romantic fantasy is no joke.
US Release Date: 2009-03-31
Keith Urban trafficks in the promise of love. In song after song he looks you in the eye and beckons, "Baby come here and be mine. Give me your heart and together we'll climb the tallest mountain, jump over the moon. I've been searching for you forever and here you are. I'll be true to you 'til the end of time. I'll show you what love can really be, what life can really be."
Urban's last album, Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, explored the confusion and murkiness of love, with a sound to match. Love on that album was not a simple thing. There were no picture-perfect endings. Defying Gravity, on the other hand, is pure romantic make-believe, wish fulfillment. It's a soap opera and romance novel rolled up in one. It embodies the general sweep of his career, a search for positivity, for that ideal love, and then takes it to another level. The songs do acknowledge hurt, but privilege the promise of eternal love. Almost every song on Defying Gravity uses that word, love. And in most of the songs he sings directly to someone, calling her "baby". He tells her how perfect things could be, if only she were there, if only he could reach her, if only she would open her heart to him. In "If Ever I Could Love", he's so lonely he cries at night for someone who isn't there. But he's ready to start over, ready for a new love, and you might be the one. In "My Heart Is Open", his message is similar. He thought he'd never be able to love again, but now he's ready. "Only You Can Love Me This Way" takes it a step further. There's no one else in the world for him but you.
These sentiments are nothing new, but Urban dives in completely, musically, and lyrically. The album, co-produced by Urban and Dann Huff, has a smooth, lush sound that fits the material like a well-tailored suit. Layers of instruments, voices and even ambient sound (a Ferris wheel in one song, a ringing phone in another) come together to form pillow-like song structures that nonetheless possess catchy melodic pop-rock forward motion. This isn't sitting-in-a-bar, crying-in-your-beer country music. It's the 21st century model of country, related to '80s pop and rock balladry and anthems as much as anything else. It's fluff, in the best sense of the word.
Within this cloud of fantasy, Urban's guitar is generally more expressive of the sadness of love than his singing or the songs. "I'm In" acknowledges that words necessarily fumble, that talk of love soon turns into clichés. Urban's songs embrace that fact. His guitar stands apart from it. In places throughout the album, he sings an especially emphatic line and then lets the guitar take over for a solo that flows feeling-wise from the lyric but takes it further. It happens in the last 76 seconds of "My Heart Is Open"; in "Why's It Feel So Long" after he begs for her to call him; at the end of "Hit the Ground Runnin'" where he declares with a fair amount of desperation that if she leaves he's coming after her. But the guitars do something similar as part of the fabric of the songs. In "Sweet Thing", for example, a repeating guitar part is key to the atmosphere of the song. In the opening song "Kiss a Girl", guitar drives the melody in a way that mimics the emotion of his current lonely state, even while it also supports the general movement of the song towards tender comfort, him wrapped in the arms of someone new.
"Kiss a Girl" immediately puts the album in the grip of that dream of the love that, Urban imagines, is out there. As the song starts, our man has suffered some heartbreak, but everything will be better once he has someone to kiss. At first it almost doesn't matter who he's kissing, and he promises to take it slow. It's just a kiss. But even in that first kiss he's thinking about the future. "Maybe tonight / it could turn into the rest of our life / are you ready?", he sings. An eternal life of magic and adventure is just around the corner. Are you ready?
Take the album as a whole, and Urban's dedication to ideal love falls just this side of creepy. He'd go anywhere, do anything to get this love. In "Hit the Ground Runnin'", he would run faster than grass grows, to catch her if she ever leaves him. In "Why's It Feel So Long", she's just left for a vacation and already he's going nuts. "I might be crazy", he sings with laughter in his voice, "crazy about being your man." In the moody "'Til Summer Comes Around", he takes a job at a summer fair just to find the girl he met once upon a time at that same fair. He waits summer after summer to see her again. You can imagine him decades later, the aging carny still crying himself to sleep over this one memory of a touch, a kiss, a ride together on the Ferris wheel. It's a memory so vivid he can describe it in full, yet it's elusive. He can't dream her back into his arms. Pretend is all he has.
It's this level of obsession that gives this album of daydreams a measure of depth. Even while the music captures precisely that starry-eyed vision of a perfect love, the songs carry a certain level of awareness about the dark places these fantasies can lead, about how easy it is for unlikely dreams to imagine themselves into obsessions. In "Standing Right in Front of You", he sees her every day but has never spoken to her. Inside his head and heart, though, he knows that she's the one. "Baby why can't you see that I'm the only one for you," he asks her, or himself. The song ends up becoming a dream not about this one pretty woman on the sidewalk, but about his desire to find a love so that he can change himself. The pivotal moment is when he dedicates himself to love as a vocation, and declares, "give me a chance / I'd be a better man for you." The notion fits with a general trend of masculine self-improvement songs in country music these days (see Kenny Chesney, Montgomery Gentry's last album, much of Trace Adkins' last album). It also turns an expression of devotion to a stranger into a more epic, if deluded, testament to the power of love.
Throughout this album of intense love letters are scattered aphorisms and platitudes. "No one should be lonely", he states in "Kiss a Girl". In "My Heart Is Open" he has a spiel where he puts his obsessive quest in opposition with society. Of course it's also a come-on, and a wish:
These days it seems like everybody's just walking away / like there's no forever and love is just a game / but don't'cha know that you can believe me when I say that I'm your man and my heart is open and I'm letting you in baby
In that moment, Defying Gravity seems like an argument for fantasy in our tough times. After all, in that song, it seems that they haven't known each other long, if it all. He was lonely until he saw her eyes. Does she feel the same? Imagine "My Heart Is Open" as a pick-up line at a bar, and you start to see how the whole album can be viewed as a dream, a lovesick invention. In many of the songs, the woman he's singing to might not even know he's there. She might not remember that summer at the fair, if it even happened the way he claims. At that first kiss she might not become his forever. Once she got on that airplane, she might have forgotten all about him. The title phrase Defying Gravity is used as a promise of love's power: baby, we'll defy gravity together. It could just as well apply to the relationship between his romantic visions and the actual mechanics of love. Either way, it definitely applies to the music, which emulates hope and mirage equally.
The final song, "Thank You", represents a break from that version of the album. It has been announced as Urban's heartfelt expression towards his wife, Nicole Kidman, and his apology for past mistakes. That could be why it feels out of step with the rest of the album, which never seems to be about the actual life of our world-famous musician. Then again, the very notion of a celebrity couple comes cloaked in fairytale, so maybe it fits into Defying Gravity more naturally than its heart-baring demeanor and acknowledgement of a relationship's trials suggest.
"Sweet Thing", the first single, is the album's most efficient and complete rendition of the fantasy of love. Make-believe seems woven into the music. Breezy and shimmering, it's the most vacation-like song on the album. After the first couple listens, before the words have sunk in and before the song has won you over, you find yourself humming the tune in the grocery store or the shower, fumbling your way through it: "sweet thing, dah dah dah dah do dee dee dee dee, sweet thing." When the words really sink in, the story of the song reveals itself to be a mid-date fantasy, built on the same memories and aspirations that drive the album.
The song begins on a first date, our singer picking up a woman in his car for the first time. The next thing you know, he's taken a leap into a memory or dream. He's a lovelorn youth again, a would-be Romeo. He jumps out of bed and drives to her house in the middle of the night, because he has to see her. He's under her window, asking her to come down while everyone else is asleep. Meet him under the cottonwood trees, they'll kiss on a porch swing. "Tell me I'm not dreaming!", he sings, but of course he is, and he doesn't want to know it. He's fallen under the spell of love's promise once again. He's getting ahead of himself. He's defying gravity.

Bravo Beach is located in the serene and breathtakingly beautiful coastline just off Mastichari in Kos. The crystal clear waters of the Aegean, the white sandy beach and the magical sunsets all make for unforgettable memories you'll want to relive again and again.
The beach has been awarded the coveted "Blue Flag" by the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature. The "Blue Flag", a symbol of quality in over 35 countries today, is awarded with strict criteria to organised beaches and marinas operated by coastal municipalities, hotels and other operators. The programme aims at cleanliness of sea and beach, safety and proper services for bathers and visitors, creation of environmental sensitivity and active protection of the coastal region.
Greece and therefore Kos is much more than what we are taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches. In Greece, you are literally standing at a crossroads of cultures, colours and civilisations, you feel the strength of history and the warmth of being in the southernmost part of Europe, you discover an evolutionary process of thought, influence and experience.
A country that despite being rich in history has a populaton that moves towards the future. A country that although statistically small, is huge in its diversity. A landscape that has given us thousands of postcard images but remains incredibly vibrant and impossible to capture.
Kos is an island of beautiful contradictions, a constant journey in time, from the present to the past and back again. Walk through the olive groves, through ancient sites. Visit the surrounding clusters of sparsely inhabited islands. Roam from the beaches to rocky mountains and explore breathtaking scenery. In Kos the fusion of images becomes more than imagery and turns into reality. Join us in a journey of discovering the ancient and the new, at Bravo Beach, where you walk in as a stranger and leave as a friend!
Bravo Beach offers a wide variety of European and Greek dishes as well as snacks ranging from mouthwatering sweet or savoury crepes, toasted sandwiches, Continental and English Breakfasts, salads, pastas, pizzas, grilled meats and the freshest seafood.
Our philosophy is simple, if we don't like it, we don't serve it. Over the years we have established ourselves in the entertainment industry in Kos and we have become renowned for quality and service. All our food is immaculately prepared and served with pride.
During the day, slow down, relax and spend time on the beach. Our friendly and helpful staff are always there to get you a drink or a snack anytime you wish.
At night our aim is to create harmonious surroundings for our visitors to relax and enjoy their food, or just a drink or coffee listening to the latest chill out music. We also regularly have selected live entertainment by famous artists. The decor is simple yet elegant with that unmistakable Mediterranean flavour.
Our staff have all been trained to the highest level of service and have been with us for years. Don't be surprised if they ask you for your name. All of our customers are on a first name basis with our staff. Every visitor to Bravo Beach comes in for the first time as a stranger and always leaves and returns as a friend.

Introduction and Architectural Overview
=======================================

Introduction
------------

Annotator is a simple web-based application for annotating a series of
utterances in a transcript file.

Please note that most project documentation is in a
[Google Drive folder][docs]. Please contact Chip at <chipmorrison@gmail.com>
if you need access to the folder.

Architecture
------------

The server side is written in Java (and assumes at least Java 7). It is
designed to run in all common Java web containers (and is deployed to Tomcat
7).  The client side HTML leverages Bootstrap for CSS and jQuery (and friends)
for JavaScript.  The project is Maven-based, so see pom.xml for details.

In general, a very pared down MVC (Model-View-Controller) design has been used.
In addition, a fairly simple configuration context class has been used instead
of a full-blown Dependency Injection framwork like Spring.

[docs]: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7FhlYQzRdBsdFBVajhiV3FLa0k&usp=sharing

File/Data Handling
-------------------

Transcript (tagged or not) are stored on the filesystem (at this point in
`/var/tagging/userdata`).  The exact location of a file is determined by
a user name (we use email address as taken from a Google OAuth2 login), the
current state/status of the file (Pending, InProgress, or Completed), and
the file name.  It is assumed that the file name for a transcript uniquely
identifies a transcript. Thus `cp dir1/t1.xml dir2/t1.xml` creates a copy
of an existing transcript while `cp dir/t1.xml dir/t2.xml` creates a
**brand new** transcript.

Transcripts are in XML files with a textual representation of the transcript:

    Tutor
    [00:00:01] Hello World

    Student
    [00:01:05] Good Night Moon

The first time a transcript is read from the filesystem, the transcript text
is parsed into "transcript items" (see the class Utterance) that contain the
speaker, timestamp, text, and any tagging data to this point.  Those items
are always written back to the file.

Training Mode
--------------

If a transcript is opened by a user, the "training" user is checked.  If there
is a completed copy of the current transcript then it is opened in "training"
mode.  The training tags are available when a button is clicked and the GUI
visually indicates when rows are annotated differently from the training data.

Administrative Functions
------------------------

Currently there are only a few administrative functions:

 * __Assign__ - allows you to copy transcript files within the system. (e.g.
   from untagged/Pending to a user's Pending folder to assign a transcript)
 * __Verify__ - allows you to create a single merged copy for editing from all
   completed copies of a file.
 * __Assess__ - allow you to open any transcript in read-only mode.  An optional
   "backing" transcript can also be opened for comparison

Remembering Michael O'Reilly RIP.
Posted by Junior McKiernan on Sunday, July 5, 2020
MICHAEL O'REILLY , KILLYTAWNEY,
KILLESHANDRA.
FORMERLY THE SHAMROCK INN
Michael passed away suddenly on 2nd June, he is greatly missed by his heartbroken wife Mary, his much adored children Caroline, Michelle, Patricia,Deirdre and Tomás' his sons in law Fintan and Shane also daughter in law Louise. He was a much loved grandfather to Naofa, Croíthe, Aoísle, Lynn and the latest arrival Fionn and he will be missed in all of their life journeys. He will be sadly missed by his sister Mary McLoughlin (Aughavas) and her family , he was predeceased by his brother Sean T in September 2019
Michael was a person who was involved in the community at many levels over the years and a great void has been left with his sudden passing.He was a well known business man and along with his wife Mary and family they owned and ran a very successful pub, The Shamrock Bar and an equally successful bed and breakfast, he was fondly known locally as Michael the Shamrock.
The Shamrock pub was renowned for many aspects reflecting Irish life and culture , GAA, music,singing, skittles, fishing, hunting , horse racing and soccer. It was known locally but also nationally .With regard to music many great traditional musicians and groups from all over Ireland spent many happy hours on the premises and the music sessions drew people from far and wide.
The Shamrock was also well known for the playing of skittles with very competitive games and competitions taking place up the back, Michael himself was a very talented skittles player and won 5 All Ireland titles in a row from 2002 to 2006 with the Shamrock Inn team, achievements which he was rightly proud of. These skittle games were discussed and analysed around the counter to great lengths.
Michael liked watching his much loved Manchester United and letting patrons know how well they were doing under a certain managerial team. Horse racing was another passion and a highlight of the year was the annual trip to the Galway races.
Many long term friendships were nurtured and developed through the accommodation of fishermen who boarded in the Shamrock bed and breakfast over the years and many of these people returned annually for their holidays.
The sing songs and debates that took place when the huntsman arrived in after a days hunting were participated in by Michael with great vigor and enjoyment.
Michael worked for thirteen years in the Holy Rosary Convent Killeshandra in his youth, a place that nurtured his love for gardening, a passion he carried on through his life and can be seen to this day. He then went to work in McCormac's factory for a number of years where he was a shift charge hand, he was held in high regard as a work colleague and made many friends in both of these work places.
Above all the Shamrock was a great meeting place for people returning from GAA games and every detail especially anything controversial was debated at great length. Everyone was made welcome and each persons opinion was asked for and valued by the proprietor. Often these debates got very passionate and Michael was a full participant in keeping the pot stirred when the debate was flagging. He held very strong opinions on how the game should be played and how it should be progressed at every level, locally and nationally.
Michael was a very accomplished Gaelic footballer and stood out
as a special talent from a very early age. He captained the local team to a Minor championship victory in 1961 , he also lined out with Killeshandra Leaguers Junior team from 1960.
Michael went on to star for the St. Joseph's Senior parish team , this team were serious contenders and challengers to the great Crosserlough team and were narrowly defeated in the senior championship final in 1969, a team he captained. This team won many top notch tournaments including The John Joe O'Reilly tournament in Cornafean, The Ballinamore Gold watch tournament and the Kilinkere tournament.These tournaments were akin to inter county games as the top senior teams from the surrounding counties participated and nothing was spared in the quest for victory.
Michael was a member of the Cavan under 21 team beaten by Down in the Ulster final in 1964. He also represented Cavan at Junior level in the late 60's and a lot of knowledgeable GAA people say that he should have been selected at senior county level such were his talents.
Michael was a member of the Killeshandra Leaguers Junior Championship winning team in 1970. He was a tough but fair player with tremendous spirit and it was a great loss to the Leaguers that injury put an end to his playing career at a very young age.
Whilst he was proud of these achievements nothing made him happier than to see his beloved Leaguers achieving success and took great satisfaction seeing titles been won by the club in any of the GAA codes.
He was Chairman of his much loved Leaguers in 1975 and was involved in coaching and managing at under age level, he was part of the management of the Under 16 Parnell team that reached the county final in 2004.
He was also a great sponsor to the Leaguers on many occasions and a very active member of the club at all levels including taking to the road in 2007 to sell tickets with a few fellow members to further the development of the Leaguers facilities. Michael was Vice President and trustee of the club at the time of his passing.
Michael got great satisfaction and pleasure watching his children progress from underage to senior in ladies and men's competitions and play with his beloved Leaguers and had great pride in seeing his son Tomás represent Cavan at every level of football.
Michael was also a very successful farmer and this was an interest that he really loved and devoted a lot of time and care to it especially in his retirement from the businesses in the town. He produced quality cattle , which along with the land were cared for to a very high standard.
All these attributes that he possessed were secondary to his primary duty and that was as a family man, a devoted husband to Mary and adoring parent to his children and grandchildren . He was a man who worked hard and along with Mary helped their children succeed in their chosen paths in life, he encouraged education in all his children and did this by giving direction and advice. One of the main characteristics that he encouraged was respect for each other as family members and respect for everyone. Michael was a man of tremendous faith and belief something he instilled in his children and grandchildren.
Michael's passing was a shock to everyone and the regard in which he and his family are held was evident by the numbers of people standing along the streets from his home in Killytawney the whole way to St. Brigid's Church.
It was also very fitting that the Leaguers carried his coffin by Pairc Ui Dhoibhlinn draped in the no. 6 saffron jersey he was proud to wear and starred in on so many occasions. The Leaguers will be one loyal supporter less in the future. He will be remembered standing along the pailing under the trees on the dug out side with Mary by his side and the shout now and again to be heard " come on The Leaguers" .
Michael's life can be summarized as a family man first, a man of strong faith and Christian belief, a man with strong principals on love and respect,a hard working man , a business man, a sporting man and a loyal proud Leaguer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, relatives and friends at this very sad time.

Google billionaire co-founder Larry Page said Thursday the Internet search leader opposed a Microsoft-Yahoo deal because it would monopolize the online communications market, stifle innovation and curb competition.
But he discounted the idea that an advertising deal between Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. – one the two companies are now exploring – would present any potential antitrust problems.
In a rare visit to the nation's capital, Page spoke at a forum sponsored by the New American Foundation think tank about expanding affordable access to high-speed Internet service and opening up cellular networks to more applications, services and devices.
The territory was friendly as Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt was recently elected chairman of think tank, which counts telecommunications and technology policy in its varied body of work. Schmidt, a board member since 1999, was not at the talk.
Microsoft Corp. had sought to buy Yahoo for $47.5 billion as a way to counter Google Inc.'s dominance in the search and advertising market, but recently broke off talks.
"Now, if you put 90 percent of the communications all in one company … that's really a big risk, especially one (Microsoft) that has a history of doing bad stuff," he said.
Court oversight of Microsoft's market power began in 2002 after an antitrust settlement was reached among Microsoft, the federal government and 17 states, barring the software maker from seeking deals with computer makers to exclude rival software. It was intended to also keep the company from using its operating system monopoly to hinder competition in other products. Microsoft also faces scrutiny in the European Union, where regulators have opened two antitrust probes.
Google and Yahoo are exploring a long-term alliance to show Google ads alongside Yahoo search results after a two-week trial last month showed Google's technology could help boost Yahoo's profits.
Antitrust obstacles can't be ruled out, as the two companies control more than 80 percent of the U.S. search advertising market.
Page also made the white-space case, talking up Google's push to use fallow TV airwaves, or so-called white spaces, for affordable broadband service and other similar initiatives. He also said Google is participating in a government spectrum auction to open up cellular networks to more devices, applications and services.
Google strongly supports such initiatives, he said, because it would increase competition, spur better innovative products and provide more Internet access, generating greater revenue for the Mountain View, Calif.-based company.
Michael Calabrese, a vice president with the think tank, earlier said the Google co-founder met with lawmakers and Federal Communications Commission officials, but Page later declined to give disclose any names or any details of his Washington itinerary.


Midfielder Fulton joined the Swans from Falkirk in January 2014 on a two-and-a-half-year deal and linked up with the club's under-21 squad.
Fulton had shown his potential in the Scottish Championship, having made over 100 senior appearances and helped Falkirk to two semi-finals in domestic cup competitions.
The Scot made his first Premier League appearance as a substitute in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa back in April 2014 before making his maiden start in the final game of the season away at Sunderland.
He played five games during the 2014-15 campaign, including the laudable 1-0 victory at Southampton.
Fulton then spent time on loan with Oldham at the start of the 2015-16 season before featuring twice for the Swans in victories over Arsenal and Liverpool before the end of the campaign.
After signing a new four-year deal in July 2016 which ties him to the Swans until the summer of 2020, Fulton clocked up 16 appearances in 2016-17.
He made three appearances for the Swans at the start of the 2017-18 campaign before joining Wigan on a six-month loan in which he would feature six times - scoring once - as the Latics won League One.
He penned a new contract in November 2018 which sees him tied to the Swans until 2021.

Nothing But Old 45s with your host Larry Kratka is a radio show that plays classic hits from the late 1950's, a healthy dose of 60's and 70's and even some early 80's hits. You'll hear the best of the best, many one-hit-wonders plus some songs you rarely hear on radio.
He actually plays 45RPM records too.....just like the kind you used to play when you were younger. After every two songs, I offer information about the songs and artists plus some music trivia from time to time. One highlight of every show features an Instrumental Hits section and even an occasional Silly or Novelty Song. If you listen carefully, you may even hear occasional scratches on the records.
The host and producer of Nothing But Old 45s, Larry Kratka, is a seasoned broadcast professional that has, literally, PLAYED most of the songs you'll hear on the show when he was on the air at radio stations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Florida and Georgia. Kratka first hit the air on WBRL in Berlin, NH in 1966 and has been on the air continually since then. While in middle and high school, he was usually the kid that played the hits at school dances. So when he talks about some of the songs he plays, he remembers playing them as a kid and through the years on radio.
The name "Nothing But Old 45's" implies that 45 rpm records are played. True. In fact, there are thousands of 45's and LP's in the music library. Kratka researches each and every artist before recording the shows and admits he has learned a lot of "nifty" stuff in the process. Catch Nothing But Old 45s with Larry Kratka every Saturday from 4 pm to 6 pm for 2 hours of great music spun on the brilliant sound of a needle on the wax on turntables.

storage, and enhances the immune system. Supplementation with L-glutamine can prevent glutamine depletion in muscles after stress (workouts) as well as increase protein in muscles and cellular hydration. Additionally, L-glutamine also decreases protein degradation (BCAA catabolism) resulting in bigger and stronger muscle cells. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine is the acetylated version of glutamine. The N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine, an analog of L-glutamine, is more stable in water and metabolically more efficient at delivering glutamine's myriad benefits in comparison to conventional glutamine typically found in the nutrition marketplace. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine has decades of clinical studies and research behind it. It is one of the most beneficial supplements an active individual or athlete can add to their daily supplement regimen. ADVANCED NUTRITION 2000 recommends a dosage of 1-5 grams daily taken on an empty stomach to achieve the most benefits.

Towards turgor-driven growth in FSPs
by botanyone
In many scenarios, water availability plays a determinant role in plant growth. Current functional-structural plant models (FSPs) mainly focus on plant-carbon relations and largely disregard the importance of plant-water relations.
Dimensions of a basic plant architecture in 5-d intervals, resulting from running the model to simulate 35 d, clearly displaying an exponential pattern of the final organ dimensions.
Coussement et al. adapted an existing water-flow and a storage model was made was for integration into FSPs. It applies explanatory concepts of water flow, water potential and turgor on the scale of individual plant organs with a direct link to plant growth in 3D. The model is applicable to any plant architecture and allows visual exploration of the dynamics in plant organ water content and growth.

Gawker.com Has Been Hacked
December 13, 2010 in Immunet General Forum
Gawker.com has apparently been the victim of a pair of security compromises this weekend, one of which put reader's data at risk.
The news, pop culture, and gossip site informed readers today in a blog post that its database of 1.5 million reader-commenting accounts had been compromised and urged its users to change their passwords:
Our user databases appear to have been compromised. The passwords were encrypted. But simple ones may be vulnerable to a brute-force attack. You should change your Gawker password and on any other sites on which you've used the same passwords. We're deeply embarrassed by this breach. We should not be in the position of relying on the goodwill of the hackers who identified the weakness in our systems. And, yes, the irony is not lost on us.
Later in day, it was revealed that the site itself was compromised as well when a post appeared there reportedly linking to the site's source code at The Pirate Bay. The story appeared under the byline of Gawker writer Adrian Chen, but Chen tweeted that he had not written the story and the site had been hacked.
Gawker representatives did not immediately respond to a request for additional information. Original post: CNET Security

TRADA's University Challenge 2020
The Wood Awards
The Sheffield Children's Hospital
Thurgoland Welfare FC Sponorship
Wakefield Jets U10's Eagle's Sponsorship
Go back to About us
Arnold Laver are a proud sponsor of TRADA's University Challenge 2020.
TRADA's University Challenge 2020 will ask students to design sustainable community housing from timber in multi-disciplinary groups of six.
60 students from universities across the UK will descend on Cardiff University for an intense 'charrette style' challenge 17–19 February 2020. The students will form 10 multi-disciplinary teams to compete for generous cash prizes and the prestige of winning the TRADA University Challenge.
The competition, which brings together final year undergraduate students of architecture, architectural technology, engineering, quantity surveying and landscape architecture related courses, is about creating opportunities for students to interact with timber industry forerunners and design professionals while gaining valuable practical experience.
"Climate emergency" is the Oxford Dictionaries' 2019 Word of the Year following a year of climate strikes (including the largest in history), mass civil disobedience, Architects Declare, reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and calls from Sir David Attenborough for action. Ultimately, the race is now on to reach carbon zero by 2050, if not before.
Every industry has its role to play and construction has its own challenges. For TRADA, who has long played an independent educational role within the timber industry, this means getting the word out about the benefits of timber as far as we can – from those of us already in practice to those among us just starting out.
This is the thinking behind the TRADA University Challenge 2020 brief, which will ask students to design timber community housing that is low-carbon, energy and water efficient, climate resilient, healthy and desirable. These students are our professionals of the future who will design, engineer, cost and construct our built environment that is required to be zero carbon in the future.
Patrick Guest, Managing Director of Arnold Laver said: 'Having previously supported the TRADA University Challenge, we are proud to be associated with the event again in 2020. We recognise that this is a great initiative and a real opportunity to promote the use of timber in the construction industry. As one of the UK's leading suppliers of timber and timber-based products, we are committed to helping educate all stakeholders including designers, architects and engineers of tomorrow. Timber is the ideal building material for modern methods of construction and our supply chain is very supportive when it comes to driving innovation. If we can get our customers of the future to be as engaged and enthusiastic about timber as we are, then more people will have a 'wood-first' approach when thinking about construction products.'
Arnold Laver are proud to support the Wood Awards, whose aim is to recognise, encourage and promote outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation in wood and wood products.
The Wood Awards: Excellence in British Architecture and Product Design will soon launch its 2020 call for entries. Architects and designers from around the United Kingdom are invited to enter their UK – based wood projects. Co-sponsored by TRADA, the Awards are free to enter.
The Gold Award, 2018 was won by Storey's Field Centre & Eddington Nursery.
We are supporting The Sheffield Children's Hospital and we are hoping to raise money for this great cause through planned staff events throughout the year.
Although based in Sheffield, The Children's NHS Foundation Trust is a national charity and one of only four dedicated children's hospital trusts in the UK. It provides integrated healthcare for children and young people from across Britain, including community and mental health care as well as acute and specialist services.
Arnold Laver were proud to help sponsor Thurgoland Welfare FC. (Thurgoland is a small village near Penistone)
Arnold Laver contributed £500 towards the £800 cost of tracksuits for 22 players.
Arnold Laver are proud to help sponsor Wakefield Jets U10's Eagle's football team.
The kit is reversible so for home games it is blue and for away it is white / grey. This sponsorship will last for this year and next season!

Q: Nginx won't to start after "$ service nginx stop"? I have this message:
    nginx: [emerg] location "/" is outside location "/nginx_status"...f:67
    nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
    nginx.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
    Failed to start The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server.
    Unit nginx.service entered failed state.

A: It looks pretty straight forward to me - just fix the location in the mentioned line.
Just a piece of advice would be to test your configuration each time you edit it, before stopping nginx. The command line would be something similar and simple as:
nginx -t -c /PATH/TO/CONF.conf

Share All sharing options for: VIDEO: Interview With Purdue Wide Receiver & Music City Bowl MVP, Broc Thompson!
Steve Roberts-USA TODAY Sports
After one of the most impressive Purdue football performances of all time, Broc Thompson was kind enough to sit down for a Zoom interview! Thompson played through micro-fractures in both of his tibias and a torn meniscus to not only play but win Music City Bowl Game MVP with a line of 7 catches, 217 yards, and 2 touchdowns in the Boilermaker's win over Tennessee.
Thank you to Broc for taking the time to do this and being the perfect representative of what a Boilermaker is. Also, a thank you to our fearless leader, T-Mill for allowing me to share this with everyone. You can watch the full interview using the link below and scroll down for more information on the conversation and Broc!
During the interview, Broc and I talked about:
His MVP performance in the 2021 Music City Bowl.
Playing through serious injuries this past season.
His motivation to play through everything for his teammates in the bowl game.
Players opting-out of bowl games and some of the backlash they've faced.
What Purdue players thought about George Karlaftis and David Bell opting-out of the Music City Bowl.
Transferring from Marshall to Purdue, and the importance of being close to his family in Indianapolis.
Purdue's family culture amongst players, coaches, staff and fans.
The very bright future at Purdue and building off of a historic season this year.

Are US Senators Marketing The web?
Internet marketing is the process of marketing a product or service online. The hope is to have the purchase the service or product so that the third party affiliate makes assets. There are other strategies too however, why not consider the recent influx of United States Senators and also other politicians who are using viral marketing to help push their messages. Trust me or not, this is one of the best ways to get a message across and it might work for them.
From the House floor or the Oregon Senator's chambers, there are blog posts, instant messaging, even Tweets from Twitter from these very powerful professionals. In fact, the President ran part of his presidential campaign online using various services. It is a realization that a message can spread quickly and effectively in this viral marketplace.
How does this relate to someone? If the U.S. Senators in southern spain are using promoting to help acquire message out, it is one of very best ways for for you to definitely promote your product or service, of course. Perhaps you are a business owner looking for a completely new stream of income. You may be a service provider who is unsure if putting an internet site . up is smart. Setting up a new affiliate program may be intimidating but is actually not one of quite ways to promote in today's segment. If you have not thought about using internet marketing in the past, now may the ideal time to do this. After all, if these Senators are doing so, you can understand how to do it, too.


Each of these contribute to helping us grow as followers of Jesus. The goal is to become disciples who makes disciples. All of our groups get into God's Word and pray together. We have groups for both young adults and multi-generational groups. Email Pastor Warren (warren@cornerstoneseattle.com ) to get connected to a community group!


It is the season of graduates. I still have incredibly fond memories of the times in my life tied to graduations. It is a bittersweet time of great anticipation. Now as a mother, I am getting to live all the new beginnings and sad endings with my children.
My youngest son Macklin is about to "graduate" from preschool and make his way to Kindergarten. Of course, I think he is adorable and so brave. He is becoming such an interesting person — with a personality, thoughts, ideas and wants to share it all. He is so excited to get to go to school — like all of his brothers and sister — he wants to grow up as quickly as possible always chasing the other kids. I want to tell him to slow down — don't miss this part — don't grow up too fast! Partly because he is the baby…..and his mom still wants to cuddle and care for him!
I loved the article on the site Letter to A Graduate http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Letter-To-A-Young-Graduate. I cried through the whole thing, imagining saying those same words to my son one day as he moves to the next stage of his life. Wanting so badly to share the moments and mistakes of my life that made me who I am and so desperately wanting to spare him from the same mistakes. Yet knowing that it is the journey that will make him the man that I know he will become. Sigh.
As I look into those twinkling blue eyes, I know that the greatest gift that I can give him is the wings to fly to that next destination. And a safe place to land.

There are more than 30,000 Bed and Breakfasts (B&B's) in the country, but sadly only about 1% are Black-owned. If you don't already know, Bed and Breakfasts are similar to hotels, but are smaller private residences with bedrooms that are available for rent to the public on a night-by-night basis. A free home-cooked breakfast is usually included with each overnight accommodation.
#1 – Arbor View House (Greenport, NY): Near the wineries in upstate New York, this B&B wineries is known for their award winning gourmet breakfasts, boutique hotel accommodations, fireplaces, heavenly beds, and great concierge service.
#2 – Quintessentials (East Marion, NY): Just two hours from New York City, this B&B features a European lifestyle spa for a completely rejuvenating experience for the body, mind and spirit.
#9 – Ye Old Manor House (Elkhorn, WI): This B&B is the perfect place for a night's santuary, a multi-day, weekend, week, or longer retreat, an idyllic location for intimate weddings, and a great venue for meetings, retreats, and other gatherings.
#10 – Magnolia House Inn (Hampton, VA): Located in the waterfront downtown area, this historic Queen Anne Victorian offers 3 spacious guestrooms with the most sought after lodging experience for business and leisure travelers.
BONUS The Dupont Collection (Washington, DC): Their apartment style suites offer much needed privacy especially when travelling with children and sharing the same space. They serve a complimentary hot breakfast every morning with fresh fruit, and freshly baked bread.
OUR FAVORITE Six Acres Bed & Breakfast (Cincinnati, OH): With ties to the Underground Railroad, this B&B offers landscaped gardens & cozy rooms. This 19th-century B&B with connections to the Underground Railroad is set within Laboiteaux Woods off Highway 127, 7.9 miles from the Great American Ball Park in downtown Cincinnati. Homey, individually decorated guestrooms feature Amish-style quilts, and some include private bathrooms. A suite is also available with 2 bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. The grounds feature landscaped gardens, and the B&B offers occasional educational programming.
When most people think of growing affluent communities in North Texas, Frisco, Flower Mound and Southlake come to mind; DeSoto should also come to mind.
The southern Dallas County community has grown from 15,000 residents in the 1980's to more than 50,000 people who now call the city home.
Taj Clayton is a partner in the law firm Fish and Richardson and his wife Tonika is a vice president at an education technology company. With their pick of places to raise their two daughters and son, they chose DeSoto.
According to the U.S. Census, 55.3 percent of businesses in DeSoto are owned by black or African-American people.
Tochi Osuji moved her business, My Choice Spa and Wellness Lounge, to DeSoto a year ago. It's located next door to her husband's medical practice.
