For the 100th Anniversary of Audi, we helped Audi celebrate by giving back to the 100 year olds of Japan. We created a series of short films documenting Audi making the dreams of our 100 year olds come true. The dreams included teaching children about living well, and a first time meeting with a newly born great grand-daughter. The films were screened at an exhibition at the Audi Forum in Tokyo where we also invited specialist photographer, Shoichi Ono to to display his photos of centenarians.

Q: TcpListener проблема принятия данных Проблема с передачей данных через BinaryReader/BinaryWriter.
Если я захочу передать файл от сервера до клиента в локальной сети, я его спокойно получу. Если же я его попробую получить из-вне, мне выкинет тайм-аут т.к binaryReader.ReadString() не смогла прочитаться.
Проблема заключается в следующем. Если отправить файл объемом в 10кб а следом файл в 50кб, то этого не возникнет. У меня вопрос, это можно исправить? Пробовал изменять буферы и клиента и сервера, не помогло. Вот код:
Клиент:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        TcpClient client = new TcpClient();
        client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse("..."), 80);

        NetworkStream networkStream = client.GetStream();
        BinaryWriter binaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(networkStream);
        BinaryReader binaryReader = new BinaryReader(networkStream);
        binaryWriter.Write("GetFile");
        binaryWriter.Flush();
        if (binaryReader.ReadString() == "TakeFile") // If I try to load a file from outside, it stays on that line. After about 10 seconds, displays an error about TimeOut
        {
            int Lenght = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
            byte[] file = binaryReader.ReadBytes(Lenght);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Completed!");
    } catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }

    Console.ReadKey();
}

Сервер:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    HttpServer server = new HttpServer(new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 80));
    server.Start();
    Console.ReadKey();
}
}

public class HttpServer
{
TcpListener listener;

public HttpServer(TcpListener listener)
{
    this.listener = listener;
}

public void Start()
{
    listener.Start();
    WaitRequest();
}

private void WaitRequest()
{
    new Thread(() =>
    {
        while (true)
        {
            try
            {
                TcpClient client = listener.AcceptTcpClient();
                NetworkStream networkStream = client.GetStream();
                BinaryWriter binaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(networkStream);
                BinaryReader binaryReader = new BinaryReader(networkStream);

                byte[] file = File.ReadAllBytes("...");

                if (binaryReader.ReadString() == "GetFile")
                {
                    binaryWriter.Write("TakeFile");
                    binaryWriter.Write(file.Length);
                    binaryWriter.Write(file); // But if we remove or change the bytes of the file to something else, the client will accept it absolutely normal.
                    binaryWriter.Flush();
                }

                client.Close();
                Console.WriteLine("Completed!");
            } catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }
        }
    })
    {
        IsBackground = true
    }.Start();
}
}

A: На клиенте пробовали играться с networkStream.ReadTimeout?
NetworkStream.Flush ничего не делает, зарезервирован на будущее
Лучший вариант это передавать сначала какой объем данных будет передан, а потом передавать данные, клиент после получения объема, ждет пока не придут все данные.
В итоге выяснили что дело не в программе, данные до клиента запущенного на моем компе доходят нормально.

Monumentul lui Vittorio Emanuele al II-lea (sau Altarul Patriei) a fost proiectat de  Giuseppe Sacconi și înălțat pentru a celebra independența italiană (1885-1911).

Se înălță la baza Capitoliului, în inima Romei ,unde fu construit stricând cu enorma sa dimensiune vechile proporții dintre colină și zona înconjurătoare. Sculptorul venețian Chiaradia a lucrat 20 de ani la statuia ecvestră a regelui. Bogatele basoreliefuri de la bază, care reprezintă cele mai ilustre orașe italiene , au fost desenate de Maccagni, care a colaborat cu Sacconi la decorațiile  plastice. În centru se află Altarul Patriei , deasupra căruia se înalță statuia Romei , la picioarele căreia a fost așezat în 1921 Mormântul Soldatului Necunoscut .Monumentul are o înălțime de aproximativ 70 m

Summary: Nearly 90 people a month are dying shortly after being declared fit for work, according to new data that has prompted campaigners and Labour leadership contenders to call for an overhaul of the government's welfare regime.
Anita Bellows, researcher with campaign group Disabled People Against the Cuts, said it would take time to fully analyse the figures, but added the group was "very worried by the number of people who died within two weeks of being found fit for work".
The figures also revealed that between December 2011 and February 2014, 50,580 recipients of ESA had died within seven days. Of this number, 2,380 – or 4% – had received a decision that they were fit for work, meaning that they were at risk of losing their ESA benefit. Another 7,200 claimants had died after being awarded ESA and being placed in the separate work-related activity group – a category which identifies claimants who are unfit to work but may be able to return to work in the future.

Howe Sound
Crooked Falls
Difficulty Intermediate
Time 3.5 hours
Round-Trip 6km
Elevation Gain 395 meters
Season April - November
From Vancouver 1 hour, 30 minutes
Dog Friendly Yes
Crooked Falls is a spectacular waterfall that tumbles over several rocks and has stunning views looking directly at the waterfall and at its side. Located in the Upper Squamish Valley just off of the Sigurd Trail, the hike to the waterfall also has several scenic viewpoints looking down towards the Squamish River and across the valley.
From the trailhead on Ashlu Road, follow the Sigurd Trail up the rocky route as it climbs quickly at the beginning. The steep climb up the rocky trail is short as the route veers to the left and follows an old logging road. As the logging road levels out, look for a dirt pathway marked with the Sigurd Trail sign and follow this trail to the left as it continues along a fairly flat, narrower trail.
There is a stunning viewpoint of the Squamish Valley on the left but it's easy to miss because it's on a rocky bluff and there are no markers except a slightly worn trail. Watch for that worn trail on your left and follow it out onto the rocky bluff, where you get a clear view looking down the valley towards Howe Sound as well as the mountainss to the east.
Returning to the trail, continue to follow it until it veers right and begins to climb steeply. Watch your step as you make your way up the steep section before the trail arrives at a clearing on another rock bluff with a viewpoint of the valley. This viewpoint is not as good as the first, so if you missed the first one, try to look for it on the way back.
Continue hiking past the viewpoint and back into the forest as the trail gradually climbs and passes a huge boulder. Not much further and the trail begins to climb steeply again. Follow the route through the switchbacks and continue uphill as this section is where you will gain the bulk of the elevation to Crooked Falls.
Eventually, the trail reaches a junction with a yellow sign pointing left to Crooked Falls. Go left and follow the trail as it slightly descends through the next 300-metres until it reaches the waterfall.
There are two great views of the waterfall, first follow the trail down the hill to a spot in front of the falls to watch the full force of the water cascading over the rocks from above. After enjoying this spot, there is another view to the side of the waterfall. Hike back up the trail to where a worn path goes down to the side of the falls but use extreme caution as this route is very slippery.
After enjoying the waterfall, return along the same route, going right at the junction and beginning the hike back down the hill. Pass the boulder and the viewpoints and follow the old logging road through the forest before it makes its final decent back down the rocky section to Ashlu Road.

How to get to Crooked Falls
The Sigurd Trail and hike to Crooked Falls begins along the Ashlu Road in the Upper Squamish Valley. A few kilometres is driven along a gravel road, however the sections of road are well maintained and most cars should be able to make the trip.
From Vancouver, drive westbound on Highway #1 and head towards Horseshoe Bay, merging onto Highway #99: The Sea To Sky Highway. Follow the highway through Squamish and turn left onto the Squamish Valley Road (across from the Alice Lake turnoff).
Zero your odometer as it will be just over 26km from the turnoff. Follow the Squamish Valley Road and, after crossing a bridge, go left and continue along the Squamish Valley Road. After driving about 23km, the paved road ends and turns to gravel. Drive another 1.5km until you reach the Ashlu Bridge and turn left, driving across the one-way bridge. Follow Ashlu Road and watch for kilometre signs. Just after the kilometre-2 sign, the road veers to the right and the trail starts right next to an electrical pole on the left side. Park your vehicle at the side of the road.

'Lava" is a short coming from Pixar Animation Studios that will be on the big screen in the summer of 2015 (yes, they're already talking about that).
"Lava" showcases the isolated beauty of tropical islands and the explosive power and beauty of ocean volcanoes. It is a musical love story that takes place over millions of years.
"Lava" is directed by James Ford Murphy with producer Andrea Warren. It hits theaters on June 19, 2015 in front of animated feature film "Inside Out."
It seems highly coincidental that "Moana" coming along in a few years also is going to feature the south seas and islands and all that. Of course, it's probably not coincidental at all, Disney/Pixar is obviously hard at work on the whole tropical theme and the animators already are probably getting irked at drawing yet more vibrantly green forests of palm trees and white, sandy beaches with crashing waves.

Q: Is there a webmail client which can handle mutiple mail accounts? Everyone here must be aware of mail clients which can handle multiple email accounts simultaneously(eg. Thunderbird or Outlook). These are desktop clients which should my installed on the clients computer.Suppose i don't have harddisk, now how will  i access my multiple mail accounts on web using a single application ?
Thanks in advance,
Tanmoy

A: Gmail is a webmail that supports accessing multiple accounts via POP and IMAP.
To access this, on the top left hand side click the Settings link.  Then select the Accounts and Import category.

A: If Gmail cannot be used, RoundCube webmail has an addon that allows acces to sever different IMAP accounts. This solution requires a local web server but no install on the client.

I think blogging is a little bit like back in the old days when we wrote snail mail letters to our friends. After we get so far behind, you can't remember where you left off with the last letter so it's just easier not to write.
I've been planting flowers. Last year on June 2nd I had knee replacement surgery, and I don't even remember if there were flowers planted last summer or not. So this year I am more than making up for it. These geraniums are on my front step.
A close up of one of the blooms. A close up of one of the blooms out on the deck in back.
This is a mandevilla. I just love this plant. Too bad it is only an annual in our zone, but it will bloom just like this all summer.
Some pink begonias on the deck.
I have jumped on the Klotje band wagon along with many others in blog land. These spool blocks are made from the Inklingo Patchwork of the Crosses collection. Visit the Inklingo site. There is a free collection that you can download and try out for free.
Here is the sock blanket that I've been working on for at least a year.
I did a little shopping this past week. These are some batiks that I bought to make Inklingo triangles. Some of these are from Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket quilts.
Here are some of the backgrounds I bought.
The quilt I am making is from this book. The quilt I want to make only takes 768 half square triangles. That should be easy enough, right? I'll show you how I print the inklingo triangles onto my fabric using my computer printer next time.
Hope you find some time for stitching today.

Q: importing a file as a dictionary in python I have a file with data like this. The '>' serves as identifier.
>test1
this is line 1
hi there
>test2
this is line 3
how are you
>test3
this is line 5 and
who are you

I'm trying to create a dictionary
{'>test1':'this is line 1hi there','>test2':'this is line 3how are you','>test3':'this is line 5who are you'}

I've imported the file but I'm unable to do it in this fashion. I want to delete the newline character at the end of each line so as to get one line. Spaces not required as seen.
Any help would be appreciated
This is what I've tried so far
new_dict = {}
>>> db = open("/home/ak/Desktop/python_files/smalltext.txt")

for line in db:
    if '>' in line:
        new_dict[line]=''
    else:
        new_dict[line]=new_dict[line].append(line)

A: Using your approach it would be:
new_dict = {}
>>> db = open("/home/ak/Desktop/python_files/smalltext.txt", 'r')

for line in db:
    if '>' in line:
        key = line.strip()    #Strips the newline characters
        new_dict[key]=''
    else:
        new_dict[key] += line.strip()

A: Here is a solution using groupby:
from itertools import groupby

kvs=[]
with open(f_name) as f:
    for k, v in groupby((e.rstrip() for e in f), lambda s: s.startswith('>')):
        kvs.append(''.join(v) if k else '\n'.join(v))

print {k:v for k,v in zip(kvs[0::2], kvs[1::2])}

The dict:
{'>test1': 'this is line 1\n\nhi there',
 '>test2': 'this is line 3\n\nhow are you',
 '>test3': 'this is line 5 and\n\nwho are you'}

A: You can use a regex:
import re

di={}
pat=re.compile(r'^(>.*?)$(.*?)(?=^>|\Z)', re.S | re.M)
with open(fn) as f:
    txt=f.read()
    for k, v in ((m.group(1), m.group(2)) for m in pat.finditer(txt)):
        di[k]=v.strip()

print di

# {'>test1': 'this is line 1\nhi there', '>test2': 'this is line 3\nhow are you', '>test3': 'this is line 5 and\nwho are you'}

NASA selects landing site for Mars 2020 Rover
November 20, 2018 0 Comments Mars, NASA, science
NASA has chosen Jezero Crater delta, where the sediments contain clays and carbonates, as the landing site for its upcoming Mars 2020 Rover mission, the US space agency said.
Jezero Crater, 45 kilometres in size, is located on the western edge of Isidis Planitia — a giant impact basin just north of the Martian equator.
Its ancient lake-delta system offers many promising sampling targets of at least five different kinds of rock, including clays and carbonates that have high potential to preserve signatures of past life.
"The landing site in Jezero Crater offers geologically rich terrain, with landforms reaching as far back as 3.6 billion years, that could potentially answer important questions in planetary evolution and astrobiology," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said in a statement on Monday.
"Getting samples from this unique area will revolutionize how we think about Mars and its ability to harbour life," he added.
The crater, once home to an ancient river delta, could have collected and preserved ancient organic molecules and other potential signs of microbial life from the water and sediments that flowed into the crater billions of years ago.
In addition, the site contains numerous boulders and rocks to the east, cliffs to the west, and depressions filled with aeolian bedforms (wind-derived ripples in sand that could trap a rover) in several locations.
Selecting a landing site this early allows the Rover drivers and science operations team to optimise their plans for exploring Jezero Crater once the Rover is safely on the ground.
The Rover mission is scheduled to launch in July 2020 as NASA's next step in exploration of the Red Planet.
It will not only seek signs of ancient habitable conditions and past microbial life but will also collect rock and soil samples and store them in a cache on the planet's surface.
Earlier in November, ExoMars rover — the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russian Roscosmos' joint venture to the Red Planet that will set out in 2020 — also chose a landing site on Mars' equator called Oxia Planum, which had in the prehistoric era housed a massive pool of water.

During the coronavirus outbreak, are Delaware's chicken plant workers able to stay safe?
Maddy Lauria
Delaware News Journal
As the number of coronavirus cases in Delaware spike, they have hit every corner of the state and have infected hundreds at nursing homes, hospitals and businesses.
That includes southern Delaware's chicken processing plants, which employ more than 6,000 people and offer contract work for hundreds of local farmers.
While industry officials last month touted safety measures, those who work there offered a different picture of what they're seeing behind closed doors.
"We're not giving people chicken," one employee said. "We're infecting more people."

PRECAUTIONS:How Delaware chicken plants are trying to counter coronavirus threat
Delaware Online/The News Journal is withholding the names of the employees interviewed for this story and will not be identifying which plants they work at to protect them from retaliation.
"There's a big fear with regard to those non-union plants," said Nelson Hill, vice president and assistant to the president at the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 27. "You're at-will. You can be terminated for any lawful reason that the company sees fit. So, there's a natural fear that folks will lose their position if they were to speak out."
The union represents over 10,000 workers in Delaware at a variety of businesses including grocery stores, nursing homes and medical staff in the Delaware prison system. It also represents 800 employees at Allen Harim's processing plant in Harbeson and 1,000 at Mountaire Farms' processing plant in Selbyville.
Temperature checks and other preventative measures have eased some fears of employees who process and package chicken products.
Others say a lack of social distancing and information about which of their colleagues have been infected makes the job more dangerous.
"They are taking measures to make sure the plant is sanitized properly and the social distancing and all that," said a different employee. "With my department, though, there is no social distancing. We literally work right next to each other."
Employees said fewer people are showing up for work either because they are sick or are afraid of being infected.
Hill said that's meant a decline in production at Mountaire's Selbyville facility, which has met some union demands like shutting down the plant temporarily for deep-cleaning last week. A company spokeswoman said they've increased cleaning and sanitation, relaxed attendance policies and given hourly employees raises, among other measures.

Will they inadvertently bring COVID-19 with them? As COVID-19 keeps surging, Delawareans grow frustrated with another hit to the economy
"Workers are very afraid that they're going to be exposed because they do not believe the companies are taking all the measures they can to protect them," said Hill, who also is the vice president of Delaware State American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations.
So far, only two companies – Mountaire Farms and Perdue Farms – have publicly confirmed cases: two at Perdue's Milford plant and one at Mountaire's Selbyville plant. Allen Harim, which operates a processing plant in Harbeson, did not respond to emails or phone calls.
Hill said officials at Mountaire's Selbyville plant told the union there have been 16 confirmed cases there.
"The biggest thing right now is the workers are fearful," he said. "They don't feel the company's being honest with them."
When those first cases were discovered, Perdue spokeswoman Diana Souder said infected employees were quarantined and contact tracing was taking place to inform potentially exposed co-workers. The plant was shut down for more than 24 hours for a deep-cleaning, officials said.
"I think it's too little too late," said one worker shortly after the temporary plant closure. The employee said they would have preferred that the company, which they said has been a good employer, to shut down that plant for at least two weeks.
When The News Journal asked if reports of additional cases at the company's processing plant in Georgetown were true, Souder said the company had "decided not to specify every individual case moving forward out of respect for our associates' privacy under applicable confidentiality guidelines."
She said there has been "a limited number of cases" at Perdue facilities, and with each case, the company works closely with state and federal health officials to respond.
FIRST CASES:Coronavirus cases among employees lead to temporary closure of Delaware chicken plant
Employees said it's nearly impossible to get the job done while keeping 6 feet apart. And with a requirement to wear earplugs in production areas, that means communicating vital work-related information must be done in dangerously close contact, they said.
"It's gonna be too late for all those employees who keep spreading the virus," one employee said. "How many cases do [the companies] need to shut down? I don't think they can hide it."
Videos and photos shared with The News Journal from inside one plant in Delaware in early April show workers standing and walking closely together, nowhere near 6 feet apart.
Those photographs and videos are not being shared publicly to protect the identity of the source who took them.
"We have a lot of people talking very close in a place that's not ventilated," an employee said. "I'm trying to stay safe, be safe for my family."
Despite those efforts, that employee said they tested positive for the coronavirus, and now another family member is sick. That employee said they were never contacted by the company about being potentially exposed, although they had suspected they had been before they were able to get tested.
As employees get sick or refuse to show up for work, some companies are making tough decisions.
At Allen Harim, a South Korea-based company with local headquarters in Millsboro, company officials sent letters to their contract farmers, the people who raise the chickens used for meat, that they would have to "depopulate" some flocks.
A company official said in that letter a 50% attendance rate among workers meant there weren't enough employees to keep up with the number of chickens that were ready for slaughter.
PETA RESPONDS:Coronavirus staffing shortages mean chickens will be slaughtered, but not make it to market
Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc. said one Delmarva company announced depopulation plans to kill 2 million chickens without producing meat.

5 Simple Tips to Staying Secure Online.
There's a lot to worry about online, and as an internet security software company we hope that you use our StopSign products to help keep you safe. But even if you don't use our software, there are a few things you can easily do to ensure that you are less likely to be the victim of phishing, malware, or internet fraud.
Secure? For sure! – "https".
When a web page requests personal information, like your Social Security number, when you're making an online purchase, or if you need to access your bank account online, make sure that you look in the address bar of your browser to make sure you are on a secure server.
It's easy to see if the site you're on is secure by seeing if the URL starts with "https". Non-secure websites use "http", so just look for that additional "s". No real company who is concerned for your security will ever ask you for any sensitive, banking, or credit card-related information without a secure server in place. Anything else is a scam, pure and simple.
A lot of phishing attempts are done by using similarly-named domains or by tricks with the URL. The domain name of the website you are trying to view should always be before the ".com" (or ".net", or whatever top level domain they use).
For example, our blog is supposed to be on stopsign.com. If you saw blog.stopsign.example.com, that is not the official StopSign blog, because our domain name (stopsign) isn't before the ".com". See our blog post "How to Spot a Fake Website" for more information on fake websites.
Making a secure password is a simple solution to staving off the casual hacker who wants to try to break into one of your online accounts. Often one of the first things they do is use a "dictionary" of common passwords and/or common words to try to access accounts. See our blog post "12 Tips for Making a Good Password" for additional details and tips on secure password creation.
Don't open that email attachment.
Like most people you probably get dozens of emails per day. It's not uncommon to get attachments to your email with pictures from friends and family, but make sure that you never open an email attachment from an unknown person. Lots of viruses and spyware are spread online by email, and if you open one of them you'll be instantly infected.
If it's too good to be true.
Beware the scam artists online who prey on the kind-hearted and the uninformed. The Nigerian scams (and their many variants), "donation" seekers who want your bank account information, and other pests flood the internet daily. If something you're being told seems too good to be true, it is, and if an email or website is asking you for private information it's more than likely a scam or some other type of internet fraud. Unless of course it really is from your bank or the government, but it would still be on a secure server (when in doubt, give them a call and ask if they actually sent the email), and you should also be sure to watch where you're browsing!
So there you go… 5 simple things that you can easily do to make sure that your browsing experience is safe and worry-free.

Eddie's Bear
by Frank Miniter - Wednesday, September 19, 2012
Eddie was 12 years old and a bear hunt didn't seem like too much. Not for him. As a matter of fact he'd told his father he wanted to hunt bear more than anything. His father, Greg, considered that awhile. Eddie had been shooting his rifle a lot. Shooting pretty well, too. Eddie could make the metal plate at 300 yards go clang every time. Eddie had hunted a good bit already. Shot deer and hogs and small game as a matter of fact. Maybe he was ready.
Even so, Greg couldn't take his son just anywhere. This needed to be just the right experience, a kind of controlled rite of passage. He didn't want some over-macho guide belittling his son. Not now, not when he's just getting started. Nor did he want his son in a crusty bear camp with men he didn't know all having a raucous time telling over-the-top tales of backcountry hunts gone awry.
He wanted his son to have a chance to persevere and succeed and to thereby walk out of the forest a stronger, better young man. This was a coming-of-age adventure and he didn't want anything to step on that.
There weren't any bears on his family ranch in Oklahoma, so after considering places from Alaska and Saskatchewan, Greg put his finger on Idaho. The Flying B Ranch would be perfect for Eddie. The accommodations the ranch offers for a spring bear hunt in the Rocky Mountain wilderness are just the right mix of adventure and comfort. The people are professionals. And they have lots of bears. This would be the perfect bear hunt for Eddie.
Greg knows all this because he has spent his career helping hunters choose just the right experiences. In fact, his reputation for finding clients dream trips is so good the NRA recently signed an agreement with him to start NRA Outdoors. NRA Outdoors is an outfitting service that gives deals to NRA members. Even better, it's a service that has a proven list of more than 300 quality outfitters from around the world. Just log on to NRAOutdoors.com and select a species and/or a location and you'll get a list of quality trips for everything from elk to brown bear to Cape buffalo to marlin. When you have a good idea of where you want to go and what you want to hunt and/or fish for, contact Greg's team. They'll book your adventure and give you detailed advice.
If you're unsure of what adventure to chose, no problem: They'll get you advice from the sources. They'll tell you how the elk population is in a specific unit or how the pheasant hatch was the previous spring. They've likely been there; if not, they'll put you in touch with someone who has. They'll even send you a list of recommended gear. And they'll offer you deals on the gear you'll need.
The best thing is they don't just check on outfitters once and then put them on their list. They continually make sure their outfitters have excellent hunts and good camps staffed with trustworthy people. If outfitters falter, they're off the list. This is how you can go on a hunt in the backcountry with a 12-year-old with confidence that you'll have a positive experience and a quality hunt.
After choosing the right outfitter, Greg bought his son a pair of hunting boots. "Here," he said, handing the boots to Eddie, "you'll need to break these in because we're going on that bear hunt."
Eddie wore the boots everywhere, even to school. When people asked why he was wearing big, camouflage boots, he said, "'Cause I need to break them in for my bear hunt in Idaho—duh!"
Into Bear Camp
In late April we stand at a trailhead in Idaho.
Greg watches Eddie step his right boot into a stirrup. He almost speaks up, but holds his tongue as Jeremy, a guide with the Flying B, says, "Not with your right foot … not unless you want to ride backwards Eddie."
Eddie smiles, switches to his left foot and swings his right foot over the saddle. Jeremy shortens the stirrups to Eddie's boots. They sure are worn in and now they're in stirrups ready to ride into bear camp.
The horses start single file up a trail beside the Selway River, which is high with whitewater in places from melting snow. We're going 15 miles into Idaho's backcountry and Eddie can't sit still, not even on the horse. He's bouncing in the saddle as we ride beneath pine-shaded mountains all greening in April sunshine.
Everything new is an adventure to Eddie. He has the look of a young pup, unbridled enthusiasm and legs too long for his still-growing body. Soon Eddie's mood and manner bring out the boy in everyone as the horses follow the cool path into the wilderness. Somewhere along the trail one of the hunters finds out Eddie has a girlfriend. Oh, the teasing sure starts then. By the time the horses stop under pines near three white wall tents, Eddie is blushing and fending off jabs from all the men.
Eddie's already learning a little about being a man in hunting camp. Never give the others an edge. Never tell them anything they can rib you about. Always be ready to give it right back, but not too much, just enough. But Eddie is laughing and enjoying the attention. Then none of us can believe what they have in store for us.
Greg chose well. This sure isn't some rough bear camp with men in five-day sweat poking a stick into mystery stew. The Flying B sent in a chef. "The eggs made it," says the chef as he unbuckles a bag that rode in on a mule's hairy back.
"They spooked once and one of the mules went down the embankment," says a guide, "but he didn't land in the Selway so we have eggs."
In the wall tents are cots and lanterns and wood stoves. After salmon for dinner and a lot of campfire banter everyone sleeps immediately in the cool mountain air and then we find out something else about bear camp. You get to sleep in.
"No point marching out in the dark," says Arby, our guide. "The bear hunting doesn't get good until mid-morning. The best time of the day is late afternoon."
So the bears sleep in. Sensible creatures, we all decide. They crawl out of their dens in these Idaho mountains sometime in April, but for a few weeks or so don't get too far from their cozy dens. They sleep in mornings before meandering out onto open hillsides looking for the spring's first green grasses. If the day is overcast and cool they may stay out. More likely they'll have a midday siesta and pop out later in the afternoon when hillsides succumb to shadows—smart bears.
Eddie takes a bite of bacon and drops his fork. He's looking at his dad. "These are good," he says, "way better than the turkey bacon you use back home. You need to make real bacon, Dad."
Greg smiles, knowing the food might not be Spartan, but the hike will soon build character.
The Search and the Shot
Eddie's boots are clomping up a trail in a river gorge. His Tikka T3 Lite chambered in .308 is slung over his shoulder. He starts out with a raincoat and pants but takes them off and stuffs them in his dad's pack—what are dads for anyway? But Eddie hasn't complained once. Every step takes us higher up a mountain gorge and we're all huffing a bit. Meanwhile Greg keeps pace with walking sticks. He had knee surgery just a few months ago but keeps smiling as he keeps pace. The last thing he wants to do is let down Eddie.
I ask Greg what happened to his knee and he says, "A Jeep hit me in my kitchen."
"In your what?"
He tosses his head and explains, "The driver was a young girl running from the police. She lost control in our residential neighborhood and the next thing I know I'm under this Jeep on my kitchen floor."
Eddie had just left the kitchen and Greg was thankful for that. Now he's wearing a knee brace and is here against doctor's advice, but is optimistic and jovial about the whole thing.
As we stop to glass openings between pines above I'm thinking you just can't count on anything. You can even get run over by a Jeep in your kitchen. But you can have a say in how you take it. Greg is rolling with the punches. He has just the right level of realistic optimism to adjust and still take his boy on a father-and-son hunt in the wilderness—something neither will ever forget.
I stop asking about Jeeps in the kitchen when we notice wolf tracks in mud on the trail. We have wolf tags so we're awfully interested. As Idaho has struggled to come up with a strategy to control the introduced wolf population, they've made it easier to get tags and have lengthened the season.
"The wolves cleaned the elk almost entirely out," Arby says as he kneels down for a closer look at the tracks. "In elk season there used to be a dozen elk camps back along the trail we rode in on. All filled with hunters, too. Now maybe a few guys come out just to get away. The elk are mostly gone. The mule deer are way down too."
The elk, he then explains, used to be on top. He points to far-off grassy parks. Up there in the open country big packs of wolves had an easy time encircling and killing elk. So the elk that survived learned to stay in densely wooded, rough terrain in the middle of the mountainsides. A few survive that way today, Arby says. Now since the elk herd crashed the wolves have dispersed. Some are still here, of course, but their packs are smaller as their prey base is a puny percentage of what it was. The others are off reducing herds elsewhere. These changes make me wonder if the elk can make a comeback and find a better balance with their predators, both four-legged and two-legged.
No doubt the ecosystem here was thrown out of the balance it found without wolves. Now the state is struggling to find a new balance that still includes a healthy elk population and wolves. Idaho, being a mostly rural and therefore sensible state, sees hunters as an economical and natural part of that balance. This is important, as some would like to cut humans right out of the ecosystem. They don't think humans belong, even though people have always hunted. Even this big, rough country is shaped by everything we do—or, perhaps, don't do.
Seeing Eddie in this context says something too. We watch as he carefully puts down his rifle and splashes into a stream to cool his face. He is a fresh reminder that we need to be able to stay a part of all of this, that young hunters need the chance to play an active role in these ecosystems as well. We just have to find the right balance. We're all a part of the natural ecosystem and always have been. People can remain in the wild, as part of the wild; not conquerors of nature, but as active participants. If we were just here hiking, we would be only observers and Eddie wouldn't get nearly the same experience.
"Gosh, Dad, this water feels good," Eddie says, splashing his father, and then we continue to climb and glass mountainsides for black bears.
An hour later I'm walking with Arby and he points a thumb back at Eddie and says, "That kid is a good one, being brought up right. A few years ago we had another 12-year-old boy in one of our deer camps. This kid had never hunted before and all these men kept telling him to shoot and kill this doe. The kid finally shot and wounded the deer. It took a lot of doing to finish that wounded doe. It was miserable. The kid left with this awful look in his eyes. If they'd only taught him to shoot and took him out for small game first he would have grown to understand hunting and why it is right. Instead I'll bet that kid never wanted to go hunting again."
We never see a bear. The next morning we ascend switchbacks up another mountainside. We cut back and forth, gaining altitude and stopping to gasp. Eddie's boots are dragging. Greg is grunting. The bears are spread out this year. Spring came early and the mountainsides greened-up in April showers weeks before they usually do. The bears don't have to search south-facing slopes for green grass; they can find grass and other edible vegetation everywhere, even under the timber.
"Never seen it so green here in April," says Arby. But that's hunting. Come mid-afternoon we spot a bear but by the time we slog down a slope steep enough to frighten skiers used to double black diamonds the bear is gone.
On day three we go up a ravine several miles upriver on the Selway. We slog uphill for 50 or 100 feet then stop to gasp and groan. When muscles stop burning we go again. Eddie is quiet now, but still smiling and eating Kit Kat bars. We earn a look across a panorama of wild mountains and spot a color-phase bear.
It takes an hour to get there through folds in the landscape that hide deep ditches and blowdowns. Finally we're glassing grassy patches between ponderosa pines on the opposite side when Greg sees a big black bear, a different bear. It's as black as a well bottom and as big as they get.
The bear is more than 350 yards away and the shot is tough. Even though Eddie could always make that 300-yard metal plate ring, we decide to get closer. We go down the slope and get within 150 yards but just as Eddie gets on his gun the bear steps into a copse of trees. We wait as the sun sets but the bear never reappears.
Eddie says, "Let's just camp out here. He'll come out of there in the morning."
He means it, too. But we all know none of us would mean it after midnight when we'd be cold and without dinner and maybe wet from a night rain in the mountains.
We almost have to drag him from the spot. This is a good sign. He's stubborn. He's willing to work for his reward.
The next morning, the last morning, Eddie again goes up the ravine from the first day. He has this resolute look on his young face. He's all joy and determination. His muscles are there but lean along growing limbs. We're all proud of him. This time there's no holding him back. In the afternoon they see a bear walking along a hillside opposite a roaring stream. They move in and Eddie is on his gun in moments and then his gun goes off and the bear rolls down the hillside. One shot at 220 yards and the bear is done.
Another member of camp had missed three times. Not Eddie. No one else in camp had bagged a bear. But Eddie had. He stood up and shot well and everyone in camp couldn't have been happier that he did.

"With the radical changes in information production that the Internet has introduced, we stand at an important moment of transition, says Yochai Benkler in this thought-provoking book. The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today's emerging networked information environment.

Based on 10 years of experiences in operating a vegetarian food company, we have complete know-how in converting textured vegetable protein (TVP) into different vegetarian meat. Different vegetarian meat is made from different choices of TVP and the options are based on its density or length of the texture. For example, imitative chicken meat and fish meat are made from different TVP types: chicken meat has its light but long meat texture and fish meat has very soft but rather short fiber. Therefore, fish meat is made from textured wheat protein and chicken meat is made from textured soy protein.
