Short Story by: Georgina V Solly
Status: Finished | Genre: Fantasy | House: Booksie Classic
A family decides to adopt a young girl, and then move to a new home.
The inside of the house was dark, suffocating and foul-smelling. The majority of the members of the family had the habit of sleeping with their heads down, but uncle Geoffroy, who wasn't a blood uncle but only by marriage, slept crouching against the wall. On seeing him asleep they all said that they didn't understand why he chose to sleep thus, and that it looked incredibly uncomfortable.
The house smelt very bad, but this didn't bother the inhabitants at all. They usually looked for a dwelling near a good source of food. When food got scarce that was the moment to move on.
During the winter the family stayed inside the house. If there was a warm day in the winter then it was possible to see one or two of the older ones hanging around the district. The neighbours felt a certain respect for them, and preferred not to be out when the family was. It was said that they had killed many, but others thought it was all an exaggeration.
The eldest was called Hoary, because of his age. His first wife had died some time ago, and he had taken for a second wife Damara, who was the smallest female that had ever been seen. They made a strange pair but they were happy, and Hoary was very lucky with the birth of a baby boy. He felt more than ever the head of the family and more masculine. He never stopped going out at twilight to look for food. Damara went out too, with the baby on her back.
There were five families altogether, plus uncle Geoffroy, sharing the same dwelling. It was a tribe. Uncle Geoffroy was the only who didn't have a partner. Geoffroy's wife Naterrer had been Hoary's sister, but on one of her night excursions a bullet reached her and she and her daughter had died at once. Hoary knew that Geoffroy had nowhere to go, so he let him live with them. Anyway, Geoffroy was a good worker and never returned home empty-handed. At the same time it was not good that he be alone. Who would look after him in his old age? Every time Hoary started talking about this, Geoffroy closed his eyes to sleep or made the excuse that he was hungry and left the refuge.
One night, talking about Geoffroy's lonely life, Hoary had said that they would have to find a female like him who slept against the wall. In Hoary's opinion it wasn't natural but that's what it was.
Winter was closing in. The yellow leaves of autumn were now on the ground. The wind brought a message for every living thing, that winter is on the way, preparations must be made. All creatures made their living spaces for the cold days and stored all the most important food in order to avoid having to go out in rain or snow. There was much activity everywhere. In Hoary's house the preparations were no less. The house still smelt bad, and at times arguments arose among the family members about where to store the food. Two of the females were pregnant and certainly didn't want to go out. Damara and her baby, who was now old enough to go out independently of his mother, were kept busy with the house and other women's things. Hoary and his children left the house every afternoon to look for food. It was now more difficult to find a good meal. Food became scarcer every day.
One day when the men of the house had gone out on a last effort to get a good bounty, Geoffroy stayed relaxed indoors, staring at the women from his place against the wall. Inside the house every thing was cosy and quiet. There was silence and everyone was sleeping. All of a sudden there was a sharp scream that broke the quiet. The other members had returned from their raids and had brought with them, apart from food, a female who was trembling with fear and making a terrible noise.
The females woke up on hearing the males return, and much was their surprise to see a small female among all the big males, and making a shrill noise. Hoary said that they had found her on their way back. Her family had died and she had nowhere to go and had been living as best she could. But with the coming of winter she was afraid. One of the women looked on the arrival of the young female with jealousy. It was a bad sign. A huge argument between males and females broke out. The pregnant ones were not keen on fighting, and went off to their respective places where they closed their eyes and tried to sleep.
The young female was now calming down and uninvolved with what was happening. Geoffroy hadn't moved, but realised that something important had occurred. Opening his eyes he was able to see the little one, who at the same time saw him and went over to him. Geoffroy asked her what she was called, and she said her name was Zenker. When the new arrival saw him sleeping against the wall she squealed with pleasure. Geoffroy stared at her cautiously. According to her, she slept the same way as him. Geoffroy asked her who had told her about his habit. But no one had told Zenker anything about him. The two stared at each other.
Meanwhile the fight was in progress. Now instead of arguing about Zenker's presence they were talking about other things. How many more times would they be able to go out foraging? Would there be enough food for the coldest months?
Damara tapped Hoary on an arm and he looked to where his wife was pointing with a long finger. There at the deepest point of the room, leaning together against the wall, were Geoffroy and Zenker. The others were quiet and observed the two together. Hoary stared at the women but they no longer were keen on arguing and were trying to get some sleep. Hoary was satisfied with Zenker's arrival, there would no longer be a male without a partner.
Geoffroy opened an eye to observe Zenker. For the first time in a long time he had the urge to live and Zenker was not only available but willing too. We must talk about this tomorrow thought Geoffroy so that the baby be born in good weather. And so Geoffroy and Zenker spent their first night together, cuddled up in a corner protected from the cold of the night.
One morning when Hoary was on the point of going out, he saw that the surface of the small lake was covered in ice, he informed the rest that they had to stay indoors till the temperatures rose. He saw a new and happier Geoffroy who told him privately that he was going to be a father. Zenker had done Geoffroy a lot of good, she had made him smile again. But most important of all was that they both slept in the same way. Something unusual in one, but even more strange in two.
The community now consisted of twelve adults. The house was at times pretty unbearable with the smell of so many bodies. It was all shut up against the cold. What to do? It wasn't so easy to find a new place to live and the present one had a lot of advantages. There was water, food, and other necessities without too much effort.
Geoffroy thought a lot about the changes that had been wrought by Zenker coming into his life. Where before his life had been nothing more than an empty shell split open by the death of his wife and daughter, there was now a new hope and a new desire to live. Before Zenker, Geoffroy was not at all interested in the house. With a new child on the way and a family to look after, Geoffroy wanted something better for his loved ones to live in. Till the spring, Geoffroy and Zenker had no choice but to stay where they were with the others.
During the coldest months the inhabitants hardly went out at all. They spent most of the time heads down sleeping.
Inside the house peace and quiet reined, in a nauseating atmosphere of bodily stench and lack of hygiene. They were used to this and took no notice of the repugnant side of life in a community.
When it wasn't too cold, Hoary and the others with Geoffroy now included, went out foraging for food to take home to the women and children, who didn't dare leave the house, it being more comfortable inside in the warm. These outings were not frequent but they broke the monotony of the long winter.
A feeling of cold woke Geoffroy up, and he wondered what it could be. It was the end of winter, normal life would begin again soon. Geoffroy stretched his body and felt something in his face. He touched his nose – water! Water that was coming from the ceiling. There was a continuous dripping. The rain had penetrated through the roof to the inside of the house. Given Zenker's condition, Geoffroy didn't want to alarm her too much. He softly touched her shoulder and whispered in her ear. Zenker took a while to wake up after such a long time of inactivity. Geoffroy pointed to the ceiling, so she looked up to see what was of interest.
Hoary had woken up too, and little by little the other tenants. They decided not to look for a new home until the weather improved. Meanwhile they moved to the parts furthest away from the drips.
Some days had passed since Geoffroy had discovered the drips. It was no longer raining and everyone was outside looking at the state of the roof. Over the years a huge hole had been made. That day they decided that they would have to move to a new home as soon as possible. Geoffroy didn't feel any obligation to live with the rest, although living in a group meant it was more economical and the work was shared. A bigger house would be the best answer to the problem.
Zenker was about to give birth when Hoary and Geoffroy found the ideal spot. They had almost given up the search when they found an abandoned house, and most important of all was that it was near a lake and there was no scarcity of food.
Some time had to pass before the move of the large family. The old homestead had served them well for many years and nostalgia was felt on having to leave it. Zenker with her baby son, Pipi, accompanied by Geoffroy, were the first to leave. Zenker was keen to see the new home after so many wet days and was afraid for her baby's health.
Proudly, Hoary and Geoffroy showed the new home to their wives. It was an abandoned manor house in excellent condition and, besides, they didn't have to worry about being thrown out. No one had been in that area for a very long time. So they were all calm and comfortable. There was nothing to worry about.
Nobody else lived near the house in the woods, and soon the new tenants took over the house without any witnesses; just a few rabbits, birds, and a tramp who usually passed by on his way from one village to another.

We were asked to step in and take over production of the company's 2015 sustainability report, working in English as the primary language. It was an opportunity to revamp the report's structure, content and language and explain – above all to investors and employees – how sustainability relates to the company's strategic objectives.
The following year we were also tasked with defining a sustainability framework by conducting a materiality analysis with internal stakeholders.
Our desire to make DiaSorin better known to stakeholders internationally was symbolised by a switch to English for drafting the report, allowing for more concise, clear and easy-to-understand texts.
We conducted a communications review of the 2014 report highlighting strengths & weaknesses and proposed guidelines for improving the language. We mapped critical issues and held interviews with key people in after-sales service, quality and R&D to ensure that DiaSorin's distinctive traits came out in a series of "day in the life" profiles.
We structured the content and planned in detail each chapter, writing all the textual content of the report in English and supporting the company's graphic agency.
We conducted a materiality analysis with senior executives to define the most pressing topics for the business, thus creating a more robust sustainability framework. The outcome of this exercise allowed us to define three sustainability drivers related to the evolution of the business: innovation, talent and scientific partnership.
We structured the content and data into three sections of the report, with each section representing one of the drivers. Interviews with managers informed the content of these sections.
Our work to define a sustainability framework also enabled us to support the development of a dedicated sustainability website for DiaSorin, used to communicate sustainability projects to stakeholders who do not normally read the sustainability report.
DiaSorin published its first sustainability report in English in April 2016. It focused on illustrating how the company's commitment to sustainability fits into its larger business strategy, with a separate chapter devoted entirely to this theme.
The 2016 report published in April 2017 went further. By developing a sustainability framework, DiaSorin illustrates its commitment to working on clear priority areas. The sustainability manifesto ensures that these priorities are far from static, but live on and are regularly updated on the website.

Q: How to do htaccess redirect based on cookie value I have failed at Google and I could not find the answer searching here. Sorry, I'm a newb at htaccess and it has really odd syntax and is so hard to learn!
You can see what I'm trying to do here...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*user_id=(\d+).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/cache/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/cache/guest [R=301,L]

I'm caching the pages for each user for load speed. I want to redirect to the proper HTML cache folder if they're logged in with a cookie, otherwise I want to load the guest cache.
Right now it goes into an infi-loop. If I remove the [R=... then I get internal server error.
Please help!!! THank you!!!

A: This works for a cookie like id=1234:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^id=([0-9]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/cache/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/cache/guest [R=301,L]

Now for your problem:
Make sure that your htaccess does not apply to the page you rewrite to! For example, if your .htaccess lies in /mysite/.htaccess
It will be used again in
http://localhost/mysite/cache/%1

That's maybe the reason for your infinite loop. To resolve this, either make sure the htaccess rules are not applied to the sub-directories or use another directory for the cache.

A: Here is the solution for anyone else having this problem:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.+$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*user_id=(\d+).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/mysite/guest [R=301,L]

Although I haven't tested the cookie part yet - I'm sure there will be many more problems there! But the rest I tested and it works! (it goes to guest and then does not go into infi-loop, yay!)
Have a great day! 8)

My work is included in the latest launch of canvases for the Aol Artists series. You can now set one of my prints as the background art on aol.com.
Needless to say, I'm really excited about this launch, and very honored to have my work showcased alongside those of many great contemporary artists and designers.
It's been a while since I've written anything. Been busy re-establishing myself in Toronto. There's a great creative scene here, and everywhere I look there's cool stuff happening.
I've gotten involved with a few projects, and have also been experimenting with creating visualizations using code, specifically Processing.

Incline Village is the strong beating heart of the North Lake Tahoe region — and with good reason. Located on the north shore of pristine Lake Tahoe, Incline Village is surrounded by greenbelt and protected federal lands.
If you desire a place to call home that encompasses only the best elements of a master planned community and a diverse group of people dedicated to ensuring that Incline Village will remain the Jewel of Lake Tahoe for generations to come, you owe it to yourself to explore all that Incline Village has to offer.
Multimillionaire real estate developer Captain George Whittell once owned what is now Incline Village, Nevada. Although he hated the idea of parting with the 9,000 acres of prime land he owned, the Crystal Bay Development Company convinced him to sell the property when they showed him their vision for the property.
Crystal Bay Development Company envisioned much more than the typical run of the mill community. They went to work planning every aspect of the community, and ensuring that what they created would pass the test of time as a unique village and destination of nature lovers.
It seems the world revolves around the law of supply and demand. Incline Village is no different. Because the community cannot expand beyond its current 9,000 acre natural boundary, people wanting to purchase property in the Incline Village area face challenges, especially if they want vacant land for building purposes.
Some Incline Village real estate buyers prefer to purchase existing homes to live in, while others prefer the opportunity to begin with a blank slate — purchasing existing homes, then doing a teardown/rebuild on the original site. Regardless of which you prefer, there are opportunities for you to create the living arrangement that most appeals to you.
Other than year-round exposure to one of nature's most beautiful and scenic environments, here's another reason to call Incline Village home: There is a beach open only to residents of Incline Village and their guests. Unless you know someone, the only way in is to become a resident.
Anyone from large urban centers is intimately familiar with the term "urban sprawl". You won't find anything approaching urban sprawl in Incline Village. Here's why: Incline Village cannot grow beyond its current borders. This keeps Incline Village small and quaint, which is what the residents of the village prefer.
As you can see, Incline Village has a lot to offer. It has just about everything you could want or need in a community.
Incline Village is really only missing one thing: you.
Because it can sometimes be challenging to locate the perfect Incline Village home, you need the best qualified real estate agent to help guide you through the process of finding, financing and closing on the home of your choice.
I'm Jeffrey Corman, one of the best real estate agents in Incline Village. I'd love to help you locate the right home, regardless of your taste in homes or your budget.

The practice of measuring light, airflow and pressure has become a common practice which has developed from the need of making sure that employees are operating in safe working conditions. Airflow meters are basically mass flow meters, as they determine the air velocity and air pressure by measuring the mass flow of air. Light can be properly measured with the use of Light Meter.
A range of hand-held meters are available to cover a number of different requirements in light, airflow and pressure, some with logging capabilities. Some climate meters are multifunction meters capable of multiple measurements.

Q: Reindex kmeans clustered dataframe in an ascending order values I have created a set of 4 clusters using kmeans, but I'd like to reorder the clusters in an ascending manner to have a predictable way of outputting an analysis every time the script is executed.
The resulting df with the clusters is something like:
           customer_id  recency  frequency  monetary_value  recency_cluster  \
0    44792907512250289       21          1           43.76                0

9                  1                       0

The recency clusters are not sorted by the data, I'd like for example that the recency cluster 0 to be the one with the min value = 1.0 (recency cluster 1).
recency_cluster  count      mean        std         min     25%     50%     75%     max
0                17609.0    700.900960  56.895995   609.0   651.0   697.0   749.0   807.0
1                16458.0    102.692672  62.952229   1.0     47.0    101.0   159.0   210.0
2                17166.0    515.971746  56.592490   418.0   466.0   517.0   567.0   608.0
3                18634.0    317.599227  58.852980   211.0   269.0   319.0   367.0   416.0

Using something like:
rfm_df.groupby('recency_cluster')['recency'].transform('min')

Will return a colum with the min value of each clusters
0          1
1        418
2        418
3        418
4          1
        ...
69862    609
69863      1
69864    211
69865    609
69866    211

I guess there's got to be a way to convert this categories [1,211,418,609] into [0, 1, 2, 3] in order to get the desired result but I can't come up with a solution.
Or maybe there's a better approach to the problem.
Edit: I did this and I think it's working:
rfm_df['recency_normalized_cluster'] = rfm_df.groupby('recency_cluster')['recency'].transform('min').astype('category').cat.codes

A: rfm_df['recency_normalized_cluster'] = rfm_df.groupby('recency_cluster')['recency'].transform('min').astype('category').cat.codes

Where to Enjoy Cocktails in San Francisco Near the Ballet
The San Francisco Ballet kicks off its 2016 season with a glittering opening gala this Thursday night at San Francisco City Hall and War Memorial Opera House in Hayes Valley. The 83rd repertory season of the ballet company runs from January 24 through May 8 and has eight different programs, three of which are full-length story ballets. The other five programs have two or three pieces each created by a different choreographer. Although tickets to the ballet can be pricy, there is a deal for students enrolled in full time school. If you're not a student, but a ballet lover between the ages of 21 and 39, I recommend signing up for The List. Every Monday from December to May, you'll receive an email letting you know if there are any $25 tickets that week. The tickets are often in spectacular seats — you just have to be able to attend the show with less advance notice. Of course, if you're dabbling in classical culture, why not make a night of it and indulge in something else that this city is famous for? Cocktails! Located in the heart of the city, the War Memorial Opera House is within walking distance to some of SF's top restaurants and bars. In the mood for an icy cold martini and platter of oysters on the half shell before the show? Want a tiki cocktail after the curtain falls? Here are four beloved spots to to try cocktails in San Francisco near the Ballet.
Jardinière has been meeting the needs of ballet patrons for the past 18 years. Chef Traci Des Jardins signature restuarant serves up California cuisine with classical French technique. The restaurant is directly behind the opera house on the corner of Grove and Franklin Streets. The dining room is upstairs, but downstairs there is a lounge area and an oval-shaped bar with plenty of seats. Grab one and order a cocktail off the inventive list. The Darkest Dawn, a mixture of rye, Barolo chinato, walnut liqueur, and bitters, is a potent, but well-balanced mixture. Stop by before the show and the restaurant and bar will be crowded or pop in after the ballet — on weekend evenings during ballet season, food is often served late at Jardinère, so if you're hungry you can order a platter of housemade charcuterie and duck fat fries.
Boxing Room
Boxing Room is two blocks behind the theater on Grove and Gough. The open all-day restaurant specializes in Cajun cuisine and the atmosphere evokes the liveliness of a New Orleans eatery. There's plenty of room at the long curved bar that runs the entire back length of the restaurant and is connected to the open kitchen. Boxing Room specializes in cocktails inspired by the South; sip an expertly made Sazerac, Ramos gin fizz, Mint Julep, Hurricane, or nurse one of five highballs all made with artisanal sodas. If you're attending a Saturday matinee of the ballet, Boxing Room is the ideal spot for revelry after the show. A midday menu is served, so you can fuel up on traditional Creole snacks like hushpuppies with pepper jelly, barbecued shrimp, and my personal favorite: oysters Simoneaux, a scrumptious baked oyster topped with celery, red pepper, onion, ham, and parmesan cheese.
Taking the whole family to see one of the full length story ballets — Swan Lake, Coppélia, or Onegin? Reserve a table for your group at Zuni Cafe and head there before the ballet. Zuni does have a bar, but it doesn't have stools and is for standing patrons only. With a bustling, cozy, and inviting atmosphere, large stunning floral arrangements, and interesting seating plan, this San Francisco institution is a wonderful spot for a celebration, so get dressed up and make a night of it. Order that aforementioned icy cold martini and platter of local oysters on the half shell. Do make time for Zuni's signature dish: wood-fire brick-oven roast chicken with warm bread salad. It takes an hour to prepare, but is worth the wait and the hype. The pizza, French fries, and burgers are kid friendly menu options. Zuni has an extensive wine and spirits list, so if you want something other booze order a glass of sparkling rose. Toast to the upcoming performance of the ballet!
If you simply want beverages and food is not a priority, head to Smuggler's Cove. It's the perfect place for drinks after Program 5, which features a cheeky piece called Swimmer, a multi-media look at 1960s Americana in which the dancers where bathing suits and sip faux cocktails. It was last season's must see ballet and will definitely have you craving a fun, tiki-inspired libation. You'll find plenty of these on offer at Smuggler's Cove, literally a buccaneer's den of a bar. With three floors, two bars, an indoor waterfall, and so much pirate paraphernalia, it's like a show in itself. The complicated cocktails sometimes take a little longer to make — especially when Smuggler's is packed on weekend nights — so be prepared to wait (it's worth it!) for your rum punch.

This tour was amazing and by far our favorite DLA Piper event of the summer. It was such a gorgeous summer day to walk around the Mission and all of the stops were perfect. Even though I grew up in the Bay Area, this was one side of the Mission I never experienced, and had a lot of fun doing it!

Offshore Oil Rig Explodes In Gulf
GRAND ISLE, La. – An offshore petroleum platform exploded and was burning Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico about 80 miles off the Louisiana coast, west of the site where BP's undersea well spilled after a rig explosion.
The Coast Guard says no one was killed in the blast, which was reported by a commercial helicopter flying over the area Thursday morning. All 13 people aboard the rig have been accounted for, with one injury. The extent of the injury was not known.
Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesau said some of those from the rig were spotted in emergency flotation devices.
Seven Coast Guard helicopters, two airplanes and three cutters were dispatched to the scene from New Orleans, Houston and Mobile, Ala., Ben-Iesau said. She said authorities do not know whether oil was leaking from the site.
The Department of Homeland Security said the platform was in about 2,500 feet of water and owned by Mariner Energy of Houston. DHS said it was not producing oil and gas.
The Deepwater Horizon rig leased by BP was in about 5,000 feet of water when it exploded and sank in April, killing 11 workers and triggering a leak of about 206 million gallons of oil.
National EMS Weekend of Honor Pays Tribute to Fallen EMS Heroes

A slow start and a heavy dosage of Olivia Lane proved to be too much for the Perham girls basketball team on Jan. 28 at the Hive against Pequot Lakes. Lane finished with 28 points and helped the Patriots to a 67-56 victory, spoiling Katie Johnson's big night.
Johnson led the Yellowjackets with 23 points. She hit seven 3-pointers on the contest, five of them in the second half when Perham was trying to make a run back into the game against the Patriots. However, the first half hole was too much to overcome.
Pequot Lakes raced out to a 23-5 lead in the first half and held a 36-22 lead at the break. Perham continued to work the lead down and trailed by seven points at 50-43 after a basket by Mesa Schultz. A quick 9-0 run for Pequot Lakes' extended the lead and helped them close out the Yellowjackets in the second half.
Rachel Voges added 11 points for the Patriots in the win.
Schultz finished with 11 points as did Grayce Mickelson for Perham.
The loss dropped the Yellowjackets to 8-10 overall on the season. The Yellowjackets return on the road to take on Breckenridge on Jan. 31. The tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
3-pointers: Chaney, Voges, Martini, E. Lane 2. Free Throws: 10-13. Team Fouls: 15. Fouled Out: None.
After taking one on the chin by 28 points to Pelican Rapids, the Perham girls basketball team responded with a 48-42 victory over Crookston at the Prairie Wind Middle School gymnasium on Jan. 24.
Perham watched as Crookston took control in the early parts of the second half, but they were able to battle back and close out at the free throw line in securing the home victory.
"The girls played really hard and knowing that Crookston is a pretty good team, we knew we would have our handsful," Perham head coach T.J. Super said. "We didn't buy into doing the little things that lead to a win the other night and tonight, we did all of those things a lot, lot better and that's the end result."
The Yellowjackets had to battle foul trouble throughout the contest, which meant several players from the bench had to step up in key moments.
"That was part of what we talked about after the game that everyone is so important to the team," Super said. "As a staff, we were down a little and I said to the bench what are you doing to help right now. The energy level wasn't very great and after the game one of the girl's asked us about us now. That's what it takes. You have to get those contributions from the bench because the season is long, you might have injuries and you might have girls in foul trouble and they need to be ready to step up and do what it takes."
Mesa Schultz led the Yellowjackets with 19 points, while Katie Johnson added 11 in the victory. Sydney Anderson finished with seven and Lacy Richter added six.
Super said he was happy with the team's free throw shooting after the game. The Yellowjackets were 21 of 29, while Crookston struggled at the line, hitting just five of its 13 attempts.
"We have had multiple games this year where we have won in strong part because of our free throw shooting," Super said. "I'm happy the girls have taken that to heart and have taken ownership of that. That is all on them and I couldn't be prouder of that."
Emma Borowicz led the way for Crookston with nine points, while Kylie Solheim and Hayden Winjum finished with eight each.

Q: UIView Frame and Bounds Im relatively new to iOs and working in UIViews frame and bounds...
When I worked on UIScrollview and trying to get a handle on ZoomToRect, minimumZoomScale and ZoomScale etc... I was logging the bounds and frame after zooming and the Frame was smaller than the bounds of the UIImageView?
I thought that the frame and the bounds are supposed to be relative?
How can the frame be smaller?
I can figure that the bounds is the viewing window but maybe I do not fully understand the relationship between those two properties...

Depression in children can be scary to parents and guardians notice that the child is experiencing depression. It is important to know that help is out there. Across all age groups, depression is an increasingly common diagnosis. Having depressive thoughts, or participating in depression counseling, does not indicate weakness in any way, shape, or form! Far from it – it can take a great deal of strength to face one's own state of mind.
There are many factors that contribute to depression in children, including genetic, psychological, environmental, social, and biological factors. Additionally, major life changes or traumatic events can cause one to experience the symptoms of depression. And some episodes of depression may occur without any obvious cause at all! Because there are so many contributing and intersecting factors involved, most children require the help of a professional in order to sort through it all. With the right care and support, you can expect your child to find great relief from daily symptoms.
Depression can manifest in a wide variety of ways, but there are some typical signs. It tends to create a state of low energy, moodiness, and aversion to physical and mental activities that other children may not find nearly as emotionally taxing. Feeling this way on a regular basis can severely affect a child's sense of well-being and self-esteem, especially when they compare themselves to their non-depressive peers.
A child experiencing depression may feel sad, anxious, empty, helpless, hopeless, worried, worthless, guilty, irritable, hurt, or restless. They may lose interest in activities that once were pleasurable to them; they may experience loss of appetite, or develop a habit of overeating; they may have problems concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions; they may experience insomnia, excessive sleeping, fatigue, loss of energy, aches, pains, or digestive problems that are resistant to treatment; and in severe cases, they may contemplate or attempt suicide. Without treatment, the frequency and severity of these symptoms tend to increase over time.
Support for depression varies with the symptoms being presented, but it usually includes counseling, medication, or a combination of both. There are also a number of recommendations for "at home" treatments that can be used in coordination with counseling or medication. These treatments may include, but are not limited to: consistent exercise; a clean, nutrient-based diet; plenty of water; time spent outdoors in sunshine and nature; meditation; and quality-time with loved ones. It is always advised to work with your doctor and a licensed medical professional in order to find the right treatment plan for anyone suffering from depression.
If you and your doctor determine that counseling is the next step for your family, then you want to find a licensed psychologist who has specific experience working with depression in children. There are several approaches that have been shown to help individuals recover from depression. These different approaches can help identify triggers and factors that may contribute to current symptoms, find ways to change or adapt to those triggers into healthier patterns, set realistic goals for feeling better, identify and rewrite outdated thought processes or behaviors that contribute to deteriorating mental wellbeing, and develop longterm problem-solving skills.

Turkish FM: Join efforts will help resolve conflicts in Asia and Europe
Turkey 7 June 2010 17:29 (UTC+04:00)
Turkey, Istanbul, June 7 / Trend A.Babayeva /
Joint efforts will help to resolve conflicts not only in Asia, but also in Europe, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said at the opening of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) today.
"Synergies in our efforts must help to resolve problems not only in Asia, but also in Europe," Davutoglu said. "We must unite our efforts against terrorism and the ongoing conflicts."
CICA presidency was transferred from Kazakhstan to Turkey at the Istanbul summit today. According to Davutoglu, Turkey's presidency is designed to ensure joining of efforts to ensure security in Asia and Europe.
"Prolonged conflicts are in the priority of our activity on the presidency at the CICA," davutoglu said highlighting the organization's activities to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan.

First Teaser for 'American Pie' Sequel, 'American Reunion', Hits the Web
by Sebastian Suchecki, Sep 2 2011
It's hard to believe but there are some franchises that seem to take on a life of their own long after the original cast & crew has moved on to greener pastures. One of those franchises is American Pie, with an insane 7 films under its belt.
Who says you can't go back to the drawing board for number 8? Certainly not the original cast, as they're ALL returning for the 10-year reunion of when they started back with the first American Pie.
Hard to believe the only person who's made it through all 7 films is Eugene Levy (or maybe it's not that hard to believe) but he's back and still playing the poor man's Jerry Lewis. Here's the film's synopsis.
In the comedy "American Reunion," all the "American Pie" characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship.
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.
Check out the first "trailer" for the film after the jump, which has no official footage, but rather a photo booth-style slideshow giving us a taste of whats in store when American Reunion hits theaters on April 6th.

Das Schloss Regensberg steht in Regensberg im Kanton Zürich auf dem östlichen Lägernkamm, einem Ausläufer des Schweizer Juras.

Geschichte

Mittelalter

Vermutlich um 1040 baute Freiherr Lütold von Affoltern auf einem Moränenhügel in der Nähe von Regensdorf die Altburg, an der heutigen Grenze zwischen der Stadt Zürich und Regensdorf, unweit des Katzensees. Seine Nachkommen nannten sich später Freiherren von Regensberg. Die Regensberger erleben ihre Blütezeit Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts in der Nordostschweiz, im damaligen Zürichgau. Sie festigten ihre Machtposition durch intensiven Burgenbau, Stadtgründungen und Stiftung der Klöster Fahr und Rüti.

Nicht zweifelsfrei geklärt ist, ob Lütold V. oder sein Sohn Ulrich um 1240/45 das Städtchen Neu-Regensberg, heute Regensberg, gegründet hat. Fest steht, dass nach dem Tod von Lütold V. (um 1250) seine beiden Söhne, Lütold VI. und Ulrich von Regensberg, das Erbe teilten. Ulrich sicherte sich unter anderem den Stammsitz Neu-Regensberg. In seine Zeit fällt die nur bruchstückhaft überlieferte Regensberger Fehde von 1267/68, die mit dem wirtschaftlichen Niedergang der Regensberger und dem Verkauf der Besitzungen an Habsburger Lehnsherren endete. Ulrich von Regensberg starb um 1280 und wurde im Barfüsserkloster bestattet. Seine sehr gut erhaltene Grabplatte, mit der Abbildung einer idealisierten Rittergestalt, ist im Schweizerischen Landesmuseum zu besichtigen, eine Nachbildung ist beim Brunnen zum Eingang des Städtchens Regensberg. Ulrichs Sohn Lütold VIII. musste im Jahr 1302 auch Neu-Regensberg an Habsburg-Österreich verkaufen, und die Regensberger zogen sich auf ihre alte Stammburg zurück.

Die Habsburger verpfändeten Burg und Städtchen mehrfach, bis sie 1409 durch die Stadt Zürich erworben und ab 1417 zum Sitz des Landvogts der Landvogtei Regensberg («Äussere Vogtei») der Stadt Zürich wurde. Pfingsten 1443 wurde Regensberg im Alten Zürichkrieg (1436–50) durch die Eidgenossen erobert, aber nicht zerstört. Einziges bekanntes Opfer soll der Vogt von Regensberg gewesen sein, wie auch der Landvogt von Grüningen einige Monate später. Zürich besetzte Regensberg bereits 1444 wieder mit Truppen.

Frühe Neuzeit bis heute
1540 wurde das Städtchen durch einen Grossbrand zerstört, nur die Burg blieb weitgehend verschont. Der Palas wurde 1583/85 abgebrochen und durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Ab 1689 umgab eine 'neuzeitliche' Befestigungsanlage mit Schanzen Burg und Altstadt.

Im Frühjahr 1798 marschierten französische Revolutionstruppen in die Alte Eidgenossenschaft ein. Am 13. März 1798 dankte der zürcherische Rat ab: Die Landvogteien wurden aufgehoben. Mit der «Helvetischen Revolution» verliess der letzte Landvogt seinen Amtssitz im Schloss, und Regensberg wurde dem Distrikt Bülach angegliedert. Nach dem Ende der Helvetischen Republik wurde Regensberg im Jahr 1803 Bezirkshauptort, verlor aber diese Funktion 1871 an Dielsdorf, welches durch den Eisenbahnbau an Bedeutung gewonnen hatte.

Bis 1865 blieb das Schloss Behördensitz, und im Hauptgebäude befand sich das Bezirksgefängnis.
1883 wurde auf Initiative der Gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft des Kantons Zürich die heutige «Förder-Stiftung für Kinder und Jugendliche der Stiftung Schloss Regensberg» gegründet.

Im Zürcher Unterland wurden ab 1935 drei gestaffelte Verteidigungsgürtel als Teil des Verzögerungsraumes von nicht in den Aktivdienst eingerückten Unterländern gebaut. Zum dritten Gürtel auf der Höhe Stadlerberg–Bülach und östlich davon gehörten die Sperrstelle Stadel mit schweren Geschützen und Panzersperren sowie das mittelalterliche Städtchen Regensberg mit Maschinengewehrstand innerhalb der erhaltenen historischen Schanze der Stadtmauer (südöstliche Hälfte des Hornwerkes des ehemaligen Dielsdorfer Tores).

Anlage

Regensberg wurde als Burg mit daran anschliessendem Städtchen konzipiert und nach damaligen Kriterien 'modern' ausgebaut. In der sogenannten Oberburg umschlossen zwei Häuserzeilen den grosszügig angelegten Hauptplatz, auf dem der mit 57 Meter tiefste Sodbrunnen der Schweiz in den Kalkstein gehauen wurde. Ähnlichkeiten bei der Konzipierung und Planung des Burgstädtchens mit Grüningen, ebenfalls eine Gründung der Freiherren von Regensberg, sind nicht zu übersehen.

Die Unterburg (Unterstadt), die sich in der westlichen Senke an den Burghügel anschmiegt, wurde vermutlich erst im 14. Jahrhundert erbaut. Sie war von keinem Mauerring umgeben und wurde nicht in die Modernisierung (1689) der Befestigung von Oberburg und Landvogteisitz miteinbezogen.

Für die Nordostschweiz untypisch ist der aus lokalem Kalkstein erbaute runde, fünfstöckige Bergfried mit einer Mauerdicke von drei Metern. Der neun Meter durchmessende Turm hatte anstelle des heutigen ebenerdigen Eingangs ursprünglich einen Hocheingang und ein Spitzhelmdach, das 1766 durch Blitzschlag zerstört wurde.
Vermutlich hat Lütold V. mit dieser Bauform auf seine Gattin Berta von Neuenburg Rücksicht genommen, in deren Westschweizer Heimat Rundtürme damals verbreitet waren.

An den Rundturm nördlich anschliessend war ein Palas, der den verheerenden Brand von 1540 weitgehend überstanden hatte. 1583 und 1585 liess Landvogt Vogel den Palas bis auf die Grundmauern abreissen und an seiner Stelle ein dreistöckiges Gebäude errichten, das weitgehend dem heutigen nördlichen Schlosstrakt entspricht. Die gesamte Anlage war zusammen mit den Ökonomiebauten – Waschhaus, Stallungen, Garten, Kapelle – von einer Ringmauer umgeben, und ein Tor führte in die Oberstadt.

1890 wurde das Hauptgebäude verbreitert und in ein Schulhaus umgebaut. Im Westen entstanden neue Bauten, und das «untere Haus» wurde als Wohnräume und eine Korbereiwerkstatt umgenutzt.
