Q: Advantages of using a virtual machine What are the pros and cons of using a virtual machine given that I have a decent 64-bit computer with 4GB RAM and 64-bit OS?
For example, why should I use a virtual machine instead of dual-booting? What are the downsides?

A: Pros

*

*Ability to run more than one OS simultiously.

*Flexibility. You can install/reinstall/backup/move your guest OS easily. Also you can manage allocation of resource (Memory, Harddisk), and etc.

Cons

*

*Performance drop. Usually much slower.

*Hardware support problem on Guest OS.

A: Don't know who downvoted your question.. I kind of like it.  Different images off the same base images is a bonus, snap shots can be really useful, portability is a plus, not having to reboot for different OSes is nice...the only downsides i see are speed and support for full direct3d/other hardware accelerations in hardware.

A: We love using virtual machines for our development environments.  This way they can be archived, backed-up, and especially shared much easier than having all of our tools installed on to a non-virtual environment.
This has been particularly useful dealing with supporting some old projects that require a build environment hosted upon Windows XP and an old version of Visual Studio.
Rather than dealing with the cost of modernizing the legacy environment just to support the old client maintenance work, now we can just fire up a virtual machine that is dedicated to that one particular project.
We actually now maintain a virtual development environment for each of our clients, and this has worked out great!

A: Old abandonware software will not work on new operating systems. In order to run them you can use virtual machine. You can also check if particular new software is compatible to old OS using virtual machine. Though some browsers are secure and protect you from threats most of the time but to get more protection, it's always better to use browser from virtual machine. In fact Vmware has virtual appliance browsers which you can use for security.That's not all. I do like viewing the old interface of OS - be it windows or linux.

A: Another advantage not mentioned yet is security. If the OS residing in your virtual machine gets infected, the intruder will face an additional hurdle to compromise the host environment. If you notice your virtual OS to be infected, it is much easier to just replace the virtual machine with a clean backup than to do a physical reinstall.
I heard of a researcher who had different virtual machines for different activities: One for sensitive data, one for normal browsing and a third one for games. The latter two were replaced with a known clean version every week.

A: Virtual machines can be used for lots of reasons.  In software development they are often used for testing.  VMs make it simple to rollback to a previous state and resume testing.  VMs also provide the capability to test a variety of operating systems without having to have a physical server dedicated to each.
We also use VMs for staging into a production cluster.  New updates are installed to a new VM where it is added to the cluster and tested.  One of the older VMs is shutdown.  The process is repeated until all of the VMs in the cluster are replaced.

A Million Little Things season 3 episode 13 spoilers: A critical hour in 'listen'
A Million Little Things May 6, 2021
Want to get some more news on A Million Little Things season 3 episode 13? Let's just say that it is one of the most topical hours of the season. The title here is "listen," and throughout the hour, these characters are going to have important discussions about race.
The show took its time this season getting into current events, but eventually they moved into the pandemic and now, the death of George Floyd. His murder sparked protests all over the world, and each one of these characters will have their own reaction to what happened. Along the way, many of them may learn about their own prejudices.
For a few more details, be sure to check out the full A Million Little Things season 3 episode 13 synopsis below:
"listen" – In response to the killing of George Floyd, the group of friends are forced to reevaluate their own racial biases and take to the streets of Boston. Rome opts out in favor of his mental health and has a candid conversation with his father about how to effect change on a new episode of "A Million Little Things," WEDNESDAY, MAY 12 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (TV-14) Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.
We're not sure how many of the long-term stories of the season will advance in this episode, and that's not even the purpose. Instead, the goal here is to illuminate important conversations and try to ensure that viewers take something away from them. After all, these are discussions that so many of us should be having in our own lives in the aftermath of what transpired. If the show can encourage just a few people out there to listen to important conversations, it has clearly done its job.

Young Zee at the press conference. Photo by Edgar R. Batte.
Swangz Avenue unveiled their newest talent, Zachary Mukiza aka Young Zee, a 13-year-old artiste on Friday. The teenager has created a buzz over the last few months and the unveiling event was to formally introduce him to the public.
Young Zee also released his first solo video for his song Criminal Swagg at the event. The video was shot in South Africa, for a reported fee of more than Shs75m.
In his first press conference, Young Zee described himself as a, "bad guy in a good way" with the talent to triumph over continental stars musically.
"I am an artiste not rapper and I want to be remembered as an international artiste," he noted.
According to Mr Julius Kyazze, Young Zee's manager, also director at Swangz Avenue, proper management structures have been put in place to ensure that Young Zee comes good in all his endeavours.
"He is young and still in school. We have a schedule that is strictly followed. He only comes in studio on Saturday and for restricted hours. He has been under a lot of training and development for the last 12 months. Team Swangz is excited to fully unveil him right now. We are committed to making him an international music star," Kyazze said.
Music critics attribute limited continental success of Ugandan artistes to lack of proper management and promotion structures for the musicians. But for a young talented lad with a credible management team, the sky is the only limit.

COVID19 Vaccines and the Supply Chain Challenges
The horror of the pandemic and the aviation sector! One of the most affected sectors still happens to the aviation and air travel sector.
13 November, 2020 by Dr Ambrish Kumar
The COVID-19 pandemic – the tough, unprecedented, horror for everyone globally today! Every day we must flawlessly follow the right measures to minimise the risks for ourselves, our people, our business, and the society. But when it comes to decision making, then there are no short-cuts and we are left with extreme uncertainty on personal, professional, and social fronts.
As the pandemic started to show its exponential contagiousness starting early this year, it compelled lockdowns and an unprecedented hindrance to most businesses. One of the most affected sectors still happens to the aviation and air travel sector.
The air cargo temporary recovery!
Globalisation and trade liberalisation between nations happens to be the Pandora's box for air cargo movement. The movement of goods by air fortunately is not as affected as its counterpart, that is, passenger air travel. There was an obvious slump this year in air cargo volumes in an year-on-year comparison. But the dip is not as bad as we all expected it to be. As per IATA, the global figures of air cargo movement YTD until July this year is only 13% lower than the previous year. In the beginning of the pandemic outspread, we expected this number to be much more on the negative side of the graph.
The challenges being faced to cater to air cargo demand
However, the dismay does not end here. We can see that the demand of certain goods has increased which mainly comprises of the pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medicines, medical, surgical, hospital goods and so on. Also, the demand of the other commodities has also picked up momentum with the re-opening of the major economies of the world. While the ocean freight and capacity has remained steady, the air freight capacity has drastically gone down.
The major reason for this is the non-operation of scheduled passenger flights to most routes across the globe. This has led to a serious reduction in belly capacity. It is only the freighters/ cargo only aircrafts, passenger aircraft converted to freighters, and the ferry passenger flights that are in operation based on demand. This is also directly proportional to the costs incurred. The lesser is the capacity, the higher remains the air freight.
Another reason is that due to the lack of passenger travel, the wide-bodied passenger aircrafts with larger belly capacity are mostly grounded and non-operational. The carriers are managing with the narrow-bodied aircrafts as per passenger demands on feasible routes to save, landing, parking, fuel, and other operational costs. However, there are serious limitations on these narrow-bodied aircrafts for goods that require special handling like temperature control, unitised loading, heavy goods load-ability, big-sized cargo and so on. While a wide-bodied aircraft with a good payload can carry anywhere between 10-30 tons per flight depending on the aircraft type, the capacity of a narrow-bodied aircraft is only 2-6 tons per flight. Moreover, the smaller aircrafts cannot fly for more than 4-5 hours at a stretch, that means, long-haul air cargo movement is a serious concern.
The logistics of the most awaited coronavirus Vaccine. A serious challenge?
With most of the fore-running vaccine candidates across the world reaching into the core testing and human trials stages, the efforts are being made to manufacture and produce vaccines for the 7.8 billion global population to get rid of the coronavirus. Now, the massive challenge coming across is "Global Distribution of the COVID – 19 Vaccine". It has been projected that by the end of the year "2020" companies will be able to launch the vaccine after different phases of efficacious clinical trials. We can expect and forecast the dire need of a robust and falter-proof supply chain integration and a phenomenal air cargo capacity right from the beginning of 2021. The vaccines would require an express and quick transportation. There will be need of large cold storage facilities, at transit points and most international gateways like airports. Most importantly the air cargo capacity will be in high demand to get the vaccines available to various parts of the world. Also, since vaccines need special handling requirement, there will be need of palletization and unitisation of goods which would need wide-bodied aircrafts and freighters to operate in large numbers.
Another risk factor involved that cannot be ignored is the security of the vaccines. As the vaccines are what every person in the world is currently looking forward to, there can be cases of pilferage, tampering and robbery during the transit. It would require special planning, secured loading and safeguarding throughout its movement. This means the logistics requirement for the vaccines would be in lines with that followed for movement of valuable goods like gold, silver, currency notes, etc.
What we wished
This is the time when rigorous IT -enabled solutions, supply-chain transparency and visibility, risk-mitigation and seamless logistics management is sought with the help of latest technologies like Machine learning and AI. We wish if blockchain technology had been in effect before the pandemic.
In nutshell, the whole world is waiting for the vaccine fervently and we ought to work together to make this mission possible!

There is so much to say about this monumental and rare fireplace, we hardly know where to start; so maybe the beginning is best and what a beginning that was.
Recently removed form a hotel in France that was once a castle, this surround was commissioned by a French governor to Pondicherry, India – a French colony from around 1674 until 1954 – and, although Renaissance in style, was not created until the early 19th century.
As you can see by the photo, the surround – at almost eight feet tall and over eight feet wide – is unusually large by today's standards although, in the Renaissance period, architecture and design was grand in scale and rich people spent lavishly to increase their status by owning fantastic pieces.
The complex carvings are a story in themselves. The recumbent dragons are the family crest and the Romanesque masks in lion headdress' on the corner blocks symbolise strength and power, as Pondicherry (or Puducherry since being renamed in 2006) was once a large Roman trading point, and the upright monkeys in breast-plated armour on the jambs represent Lord Hanuman, "The Monkey God" whose symbolic significance is pure devotion.
Pondicherry is synonymous with French heritage in India and this unique surround is commemorative of the governor's time spent there.
We can't wait to see where the next resting place of this imposing piece will be but, wherever it is, you can be sure we will be telling you all about it.

Q: Accessing state in react I have a function:
    getCommits: function() {
    fetch('/commits').then((response) => {
        if (response.status >= 400) {
            throw new Error("Bad response from server");
        }
        return response.json();
     })
     .then((commits) => {
       this.setState({commits: commits});
     });
  },

I set the state in this function and now I want other functions to access this state. How can I do this?
this.state.commits was one idea I had.
     getTodaysCommits: function(){
     fetch('/commits').then((response) => {
        if (response.status >= 400) {
            throw new Error("Bad response from server");
        }
        return response.json();
     })
     .then((commits) => {
       var todaysCommits = [];
       for (var i = 0; i < commits.length; i++) {
         var today = new Date().toDateString();
         var stringToDate = new Date(commits[i].commit.author.date).toDateString();
         if (today == stringToDate){
           todaysCommits.push(commits[i])
         }
       }
       return todaysCommits;
     })
     .then((todaysCommits) => {
       this.setState({commits: todaysCommits});
     })
  },

In this function how can I use commits without having to fetch it from api and just use the state set in the previous function?
componentDidMount: function() {
    this.getCommits();}

I have my function that gets set on componentDidMount

A: First you need to make sure that your state is set and then you can access it by referring to the context state as this.state.commits.
You need to make sure you are referring to the correct context.
Use it in the function as
getTodaysCommits: function(){

    var commits = this.state.commits;
    console.log(commits);

}

Q: Basic multivariate Factorization type question I came across this polynomial
$$
x^2 - 2kxy + ky^2 +d; \, k>0
$$
in some of my work and was wondering if there was a trick to coercing/factoring it into a polynomial of the form
$$
(x-x_0)^2-(y-y_0)^2+r
$$
for some $x_0,y_0,r \in \mathbb{R}$. I was thinking a completing the square type approach but embarrassingly enough I'm stumped.  All help is appreciated. Thanks.

A: We can coerce the polynomial into a nicer form through
$$x^2-2ky+k^2y^2-(k^2-k)y^2+d=(x-ky)^2-(k^2-k)y^2+d$$
And if we set $u=x-ky$, we have
$$u^2+(k-k^2)y^2+d$$
The substitution is necessary, since as stated in the comments, we cannot write it as
$(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2+r$ because of the xy term.


The church of Saint Saviour began as a temporary iron church, founded in 1900. It seated 300 and was used for services until a permanent church could be constructed. The new church was built between 1904 and 1909 in a Decorated style; it seated 700. A district chapelry was assigned in 1904; the Bishop of London was patron. The parish was united with Saint Andrew, Alexandra Park Road, in 1993; to form the new parish of Alexandra Park. Saint Andrew's is used as the parish church.

REVIEW: The Magicians S2E10 – The Girl Who Told Time
on March 29, 2017Posted in: Featured, Reviews, Television
Previously on The Magicians, Penny (Arjun Gupta) handed his freedom over to The Librarians in exchange for his magic back while Margo (Summer Bishil) made a deal with the faeries to restore magic to Fillory. Julia (Stella Maeve) and Quentin (Jason Ralph) made difficult decisions – from a lack of feeling and too much feeling respectively – and all these choices are about to come back and collect. But maybe they'll collect a little less if we follow one of the different time loops that Jane Chatwin went through.
The episode begins with Julia reading ahead and showing off in a one-on-one tutoring session with Dean Fogg (Rick Worthy), but it seems to be nothing but an echo from another life that the Dean lived. Julia is free to leave her makeshift jail cell, but not without some sound advice – she is a searcher and has the power to seek the answers that can save her. It's a truly hopeful start to The Magicians for once.
Kady and Penny finding resolution through conflict again.
Even Kady's (Jade Tailor) frustration can't bring the mood down, especially not with Penny by her side reminding her that "rapist monsters are a universal problem." Unfortunately the Order of Librarians has other plans for him, and the bickering lovebirds are immediately transported to said library. Penny is probably stuck doing menial labor for now, but Kady can take advantage of the resources and find a how-to manual on killing gods. As confusing as the show started off in season one, the new season of The Magicians has done an amazing job of streamlining and interconnecting its story lines. Not to mention that seeing Kady help Penny in kind is both satisfying and adorable.
As much as I love these characters and this season so far, though, I can't help but feel that a few of the interconnected plots are dragging their feet – or hands – at this point. Ten episodes in and Penny still can't use magic, with every avenue he seeks winding up a dead end. At the same time, the Reynard plot started off started but has tapered off since Julia's horribly botched surgery. Why hasn't he made a real move on them yet, and what is he planning in the long run? Considering how many witches he murdered early on, it's odd that the urgency has been reduced in recent episodes. At least the latest obstacle in Penny's path offers a possibility to learn the knowledge Kady and Julia need to defeat Reynard… So long as they can get into a poisoned room protecting said knowledge.
Three months have passed in Fillory, where things are even less hopeful than at Brakebills. Quentin is still feeling the doldrums afer he let Alice (Olivia Taylor Dudley) go, of course. Margo gives him one of her signature snarky pep talks, but he still misses his body-mate. Meanwhile, Eliot (Hale Appleman) has adapted "Earth magician" Nate Silver's statistical formula to figure out his popularity – and the result is not pretty. On the bright side, it gives The Magicians an excuse to throw him a wedding that might make the populace more inclined to like him.
The downside to the wedding is Fen's (Brittany Curran) less than enthusiastic response. But while Eliot is worried she might be feeling jealous or left out, it seems she's trying to keep the faeries who are after her unborn child at bay. It seems like she doesn't even know what's happening, though, which is the scariest part of all. Margo knows, though, and now she's faced with another choice to make. Does she come clean and find a way out, or keep her deal a secret and hope for the best? Unsurprisingly for The Magicians, she chooses the former option almost immediately. It's another thing I love about the show – even when the characters go in circles, at least it's because they're trying to move forward.
A bittersweet reunion for Alice and Quentin.
Julia's shade visits Quentin, an answer to everyone's prayers and a glimmer of light in the darkness. As long as the shade can be found before it's too late, Julia can be restored to her former self. Once again, the most touching scene in the episode belongs to Julia and Quentin. She confesses that she's trying to base her morality off memory and scared that she's failing, which is proof enough that her soul is salvageable.
Speaking of things that are salvageable, Figg recalls another time loop in which Alice knew of shades and was obsessed with restoring them. Now they have a two-minute window to cross realities and speak to that Alice. Quentin has an emotional reunion with his beloved, though they can't touch, and she informs him that a living person can access the Underworld where shades are kept with the help of a mysterious gatekeeper.
By the end of this week's The Magicians, even Margo's good intentions can't save Fen from the fates of the faeries. But as some stories hit a dangerous snag, others find a dangerous opportunity. Next week Julia and Quentin may need to face down a dragon to make it into the Underworld, while Kady and Penny need to unlock the secrets of the poison room to kill a god.

What is an airbrush? An airbrush is a small pen-shaped tool that sprays fluids in a precise, controlled manner.
How does an airbrush work? Pressurized air (from a compressor, pressurized gas tank or propellant can) is forced through the airbrush, causing a vacuum that draws the paint into a stream of air. The air and paint are thoroughly mixed (or atomized) and then sprayed out.
How do you select an airbrush? The best airbrush for you is dependent upon the desired application (fine art, mural painting, illustration, hobbies and crafts, fingernails and makeup, ceramics or sculpture, etc.) and/or your budget. Most artists today use single- or dual-action internal-mix airbrushes because they produce the finest sprays. All airbrushes can be used for all applications, but some are more suited to specific applications than others. For example, if you work large and need a large paint reservoir, then an airbrush that is adaptable to a jar is necessary. On the other hand, if you work on objects where minimal amounts of paint are used, e.g., photo retouching, then a slotted gravity feed airbrush is the best choice. The various types of airbrushes--side feed, gravity feed, and bottom feed--are available from all manufacturers in student to professional grades with corresponding prices. Your retailer will be happy to assist you in making the best choice to meet your needs.
What types of paints can be sprayed through an airbrush? Most--if not all--paints can be airbrushed. However, it is very important to reduce or thin paints to a consistency no thicker than milk so that they are fluid enough to be sprayed. For example, artist acrylic colors are thinned with water and oil paints are thinned with oil mediums before spraying.
What surfaces can be airbrushed upon? All surfaces are compatible with airbrushing in the same way that all surfaces can be painted with a paintbrush. A key factor here is compatibility of the paint with the particular surface, which is dependent upon proper preparation of the surface. For example, canvas must be gessoed and aluminum must be primed prior to being painted with acrylics and lacquer, respectively.
If you use an airbrush, must it be used for every aspect of your work? Definitely not! Most artists who employ the airbrush in their artwork also use other types of paint applications, from paintbrushes to photo silk screens to palette knives to digital prints. Don't feel that you have to spray in eyelashes when you should be using a 00 sable paintbrush!
Most people are introduced to the airbrush out of curiosity and frequently experience frustrating periods of trial and error during the learning process. So any information that can be obtained will be of great help. Investigate workshops and classes, videos and books through your art supply retailer and online.
The Ultimate Airbrush Handbook (Watson-Guptill Publications) by Pamela Shanteau with Donn Shanteau is a treasure-trove of useful information. Included are chapters on choosing equipment and supplies; operating the airbrush; developing images; textiles; murals and signs; body and fingernail art; scale models and crafts; fine art and illustration; and automotive airbrushing. Readers will also find tips and how-tos from highly respected professionals in various airbrush genres, including Tom Grossman, Lindy Brown, A. D. Cook, Kirk Lybecker, Andrea Mistretta, Robert Anderson and others.
With the approach of spring and summer, many people begin to spend more time out of doors. It's also a time to spruce up the flower beds and gardens and to get the areas around the home in tip top shape for all the upcoming outdoor activities. One thing that makes a garden area of any size more enjoyable is the introduction of bird houses. If you are lucky enough to have birds actually build nests in one of your houses, it gives you many hours of enjoyment watching the fledglings grow and prosper.
Birds are considered pests by some, but if you watch them in a bed or garden area, they actually benefit the plants by nibbling the insects that might otherwise damage your plants. Birds are often colorful, their songs are restful and seeing young birds take flight is a total joy. Decorating bird houses is great fun and will add a lot to the garden experience. Bright colors beacon the birds because, unlike many animals, birds can distinguish colors. Birds use colors and patterns to communicate with each other, to find food and shelter. So bright colors will be noticed and utilized by the birds in your area.
Other animals can also benefit from shelter. Orchard Mason Bees (sometimes called Blue Orchard Bees or BOB) are very beneficial to farmers and large-scale agriculture and pollinate up to six times the number of blossoms per day as do honeybees—and they do not sting. These tiny bees love special small burrows for raising their offspring. The bee houses are easy to make or are available from many farm and ranch supply catalogs. You can also decorate these houses with colors that have been tested to attract bees of several species. Blue seems to work very well, so some part of the BOB house should be blue.
Supplies you will need for the bird and bee house decoration include: An airbrush (I seem to always fall back on my trusted Iwata Revolution CR Airbrush because I love the ease of color changes and the speed with which you can refill the cup); an air supply (the Iwata Studio Series Smart Jet Compressor is a quiet, dependable workhorse); an all-wood bird house; a BOB house; acrylic airbrush craft colors of your choice; and miscellaneous paper towels or cloth rags for quick pick-up or clean-up. Optional is an artist's brush for fine detail around openings and a sealer, if desired.
Bright colors will attract birds to a new dwelling. Add charm and character to the bird house with a bit of speckling or accent color.
Begin by painting the bird house. I chose a bright blue for the body of the house and red for the roof. I was especially careful to get good coverage so that the colors would last. The weather on the plains where I live can be brutal to things outdoors. Accent color, just to jazz it up was selected and the final tonal application was a dark color to make it look a little worn. You can also sand or scrape through the base colors to get the look of wear and age if you want to make it look "settled" into the garden rather than an obvious new addition.
A BOB house is easily made from a length of 4x4, cut and drilled. Add a decorative roof and you have a great addition to your garden or a smashing gift. Blocking the cells of the bee house will keep them clean during the painting process.
For the BOB house, I first plugged the holes to prevent any paint from entering the egg chambers. I am unsure if that makes any difference, but I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. I selected bright blue for the house, similar to the color used for bee traps in the southern states. Bees do seem to be attracted to blue. For the roof I selected lime green for contrast and high visibility. Other combinations that look good are red and blue, green and blue and yellow and blue. Almost any colors will do.
Sealing the colors will help keep them from fading if that is important to you. But I love the way paint ages through contact with the elements, so I used no sealer coat.
One finished bird and one bee house ready to install in the garden.
The finished bird and bee houses will hang throughout the garden with the other bird houses in my collection. They are fun to make and decorate. Try one and you'll agree.
For my first contribution to AirbrushTalk, a simple preliminary study-sketch will be executed in five basic sections. As an illustrator who specializes in pinup, glamour, and portraiture, it has always been a challenge to express more life and beauty within a painting than is possible with photography. It amounts to an impression of the same experience we see and feel in life. If a portrait doesn't engage your attention as a real person does, it has failed in its purpose. The manner or style of execution is irrelevant whether it be cartoonish or on-model realism; or painted with an airbrush or bristle. I'll be using photo reference of my favorite model Shannon for this demonstration.
The first stage involves constructing the head, its planes, and structure. I begin by sketching out the head on tracing paper in pencil. This allows me to make easy and fast corrections. The simple guidelines are transferred to a piece of 11" x 11" series 310 illustration board. I will be using jar acrylics for this study, with flesh tones consisting of a dulled value 8 yellow and a dulled value 6 red-orange. That's it. Using an Iwata HP-C Airbrush, I begin by spraying an even transparent layer of the yellow over the entire area that will be flesh tone. This warms the red-orange, and acts as the initial layer of a glaze. I have added points of detailed information such as eyes, brows and the location of the mouth with a sable dry-brush application.
This establishes a point of reference in order to maintain accuracy within my overall drawing. I now begin to locate and identify the darkest darks with the dulled red-orange, i.e., shadows and form. At this stage, I am spraying in a freehand manner, without frisket or shields. I am also beginning to work the "entire" piece, working from the large to the small, from the simple to the complex.
With a variety of curves and Artool shields, I now begin to establish the various planes and shapes with their respective "edge modulation." For me, the importance of using a curve or shield is not to create the shape, but rather modulate the contours and edges. Sharper edges placed in front of softer ones create depth and the illusion of focus. At this point, I am modulating edges, with form and light throughout the entire picture. As the image begins to take shape, I am using both shield and freehand drawing techniques for the various passages.
Same thing for the hair, which is best represented with two contrasting values for it to read well. Here, I am looking for forms and shapes to identify and exploit. In this case, we are dealing with simple cylinders. Think of hair as mass shapes and simple forms rather than individual strands.
At this stage, the portrait is nearly complete. With the addition of a few soft highlights in the flesh tones, re-establishing the edges throughout with focus and contrast, I am ready to apply the finishing touches with both the Iwata and my sable brushes. This involves sharpening focus and increasing contrast. I do this wherever I want "our" eyes to be drawn. With this and most portraits, that would be the face and, more specifically, the eyes. Other elements such as the flower and dress are produced with a combination of airbrush and dry-brush technique. I would produce additional focused studies on various elements such as the flower before starting the "finished" artwork, and would consider this a successful study in order to proceed.

South Korea Sets Record for New COVID Cases, Largely Concentrated in Seoul
By Erin Brady On 11/24/21 at 11:42 AM EST
World South Korea Seoul
South Korea is experiencing a rapid surge in COVID-19 cases, most of which were reported in the country's capital area, the Associated Press reported.
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency reported 4,116 new cases on Wednesday, saying that most of the infections came from Seoul and the rest of the metropolitan region. Thirty-five deaths have been attributed to the virus over the past 24 hours, increasing the country's overall death toll to 3,363.
The increase in cases could be attributed to the country loosening social distancing measures. Despite Reuters reporting that 80.8 percent of the country's population has been fully vaccinated, the majority of those infected are either unvaccinated or seeing their immunities decrease since the vaccine rollout in February.
Many patients that have been checked into hospitals or intensive care units are over age 60. The Ministry of Health and Welfare is currently considering re-enacting measures to decrease the number of cases.
"The rise in serious cases has been considerably higher than what we had expected," Son Youngrae of the Health Ministry said in a briefing.
In addition to potential new measures, officials are encouraging booster shots. According to Son, a rise in breakthrough cases is being reported among fully vaccinated older people. Orders to designate more hospital beds in Seoul for virus patients have been issued.
For more reporting from The Associated Press, see below.

New coronavirus infections in South Korea exceeded 4,000 in a day for the first time since the start of the pandemic as a Delta-driven spread continues to rattle the country after it eased social distancing in recent weeks to improve its economy.
An increase in hospitalizations has created fears about possible shortages in intensive care units.
The 586 patients who are in serious or critical conditions also marked a new high.

Cases are also climbing in the United States ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, while Austria entered a major lockdown on Monday as a virus wave spreads across Europe.
Officials in South Korea fully reopened schools on Monday in what they describe as first steps toward restoring some pre-pandemic normalcy. In allowing larger social gatherings and longer indoor dining hours at restaurants, officials had hoped that improving vaccination rates would keep hospitalizations and deaths down even if the virus continues to spread.
Officials are now creating plans to share hospital capacities between the greater Seoul area and other regions with smaller outbreaks to prevent hospital systems from being overwhelmed.

For the Food in Jars March Challenge, I once again threw my hat into uncharted water and tried this recipe for Mint Jelly. I was nervous about this recipe because it called for using apples to draw out the natural pectin. I intuitively knew this was the natural process but doubted that little ole me could pull it off. Would it work or fail miserably? Would it set? What if I didn't draw off enough liquid? I cursed myself apparently because I only drew off just over half the liquid and almost scrapped the whole project. I felt defeated and ready to throw in the towel, but SP boosted my spirits with some encouragement and then some laughter at my own expense - I looked like a hot mess and he still loved me. Nevertheless, I persisted.
This was where I needed to send SP back to town. Not quite enough mint.
1. Combine apple pieces with water and mint in a large pan. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat and cook 20 minutes, until apples are soft.
2. Add vinegar, return to boil. Simmer covered, for about 5 more minutes.
3. Use a potato masher to mash up the apple pieces. Continue to the consistency of thin apple sauce. The mash should be quite runny, so feel free add another 1 cup of water to the pot. This is where I probably went wrong because I should have had it runnier because - see step 5.
4. Spoon the apple mash into a cheesecloth lined fine mesh sieve and suspend it over a large bowl. Leave to strain for several hours. Do not squeeze.
5. After a few hours about 4 cups of juice should have strained out of the mash. This is where I found I only yielded just over two cups of liquid - 20 ounces to be exact. Measure the juice, then pour into a large pot. Add 7/8 a cup of sugar for each cup of juice. Heat on high, stirring until the sugar gets dissolved. Be careful that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.
6. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium or medium high, keeping it at a strong simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, using a metal spoon to skim off the surface scum. The surface scum is white and rather sticky so have a damp paper towel ready to wipe it off onto a plate.
7. Continue to boil until a candy thermometer shows that the temperature has reached at least 220-222°F. Additional cooking time may be needed depending on levels of elevation, water, sugar, or the apple pectin in the mix.
8. Pour into sterilized* canning jars to within 1/4" from the top and seal. Yields approximately 4 8-ounce jars. I managed to eek out less than that because of having less liquid.
Here is where the leap of faith happened as I waited and waited to see if they set. As the night drew to a close and I headed to bed my jars had still not set. I woke in the morning completely thrown off my plan to check them by the fact that off all things I didn't prepare for work, I had neglected to set my alarm ahead an hour for daylight savings. Ugh. I had to wait until after work to check.
Low and behold - it worked! My jars set!
We are looking forward to enjoying this with lamb for Easter dinner and have some little jars to give away for Christmas. Natural mint jelly is such a beautiful golden color!

Flights to and from McCarran Airport were temporarily suspended
Las Vegas shooting: McCarran International Airport halts all flights after attack
Flights in and out of McCarran International Airport have been temporarily suspended
Helen Coffey
Monday 02 October 2017 09:38
Following a mass shooting near Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay casino that has reportedly left two dead and at least 24 injured, McCarran International Airport suspended all flights.
The airport tweeted the following: "UPDATE: Flights in and out of @LASairport have been temporarily halted in response to reported shooting incident on Las Vegas Strip."
It first advised passengers that delays were expected and that some flights would be affected, before announcing the temporary suspension of all flights.
The latest news from the airport is that "Limited flight activity has resumed". It recommends that those due to fly "monitor flight status with your airline. Expect on going delays."
Footage shows terror of fleeing crowd at Las Vegas shooting
This comes after at least one gunman was reported to have opened fire on crowds at a music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night, discharging hundreds of bullets.
Video online appeared to show the moment the gunfire broke out during a song, stopping the performance and sending the crowd running.
'One suspect down' after mass shooting, say police
Police say one suspected shooter is "down", and that "at this time we do not believe there are any more shooters".
One woman, who was attending the concert with her husband, told CNN: "Everyone was literally lying on top of each other and trying to get out of the way, and the shots just kept coming.
"When we got down, there was a man shot right there. One of my friends was helping him out. They got him out, and we ran, and everybody is hiding everywhere. They were hiding under the bleachers [seats], and the stanchions, and anywhere they could.
"And everybody is telling us to run, 'run as fast as you can'."

How TfL plan to turn your local Tube station into a community asset
July 11, 2014 - Martin Hoscik@MayorWatch
A pop-up shop at Old Street. Image: TfL/Marc Sethi
Over the past few months Tube bosses have announced a number of tie-ups with retailers to place collection points and lockers at stations.
The deals are the first, early signs of ambitious plans being developed by Transport for London to transform the network from a collection of trains and stations into a more meaningful part of the communities and districts they serve.
The most visible aspect of the plan so far has been the arrival of short-term 'pop-up' shops at Old Street where the usual mix of key cutters and newsagents selling overpriced and undercooled water are out of keeping with the local hipsters.
While the tie-ups with Amazon, Waitrose and Tesco are nakedly commercial and should help TfL boost non-fares income income, the pop-up shops venture gives credence to claims that the plans aren't just about squeezing every drop of cash possible from the network, but about building a wider community benefit.
To accommodate the start-ups and SMEs it hopes to attract, London Underground has had to forgo guaranteed rent by reserving some of its retail units – highly sought after thanks to the assured footfall they bring retailers – for short-term lets.
TfL's commercial development team, headed by Graeme Craig, are hoping that the allure of new, cool brands will have a halo effect and help make stations – the pop-up initiative is due to be extended to Piccadilly Circus, St James's Park, and Baker Street stations – destinations in their own right.
In addition they're looking to boost the role which stations that serve major tourist attractions play in creating a unique London experience, for example by highlighting and promoting the West End's retail offers to passengers as they arrive at Oxford Circus and helping guide them towards the shop they want.
There are also long term plans being worked on to radically transform South Kensington, a station which delivers millions of passengers every year to some of the world's most popular museums, yet looks the setting of a sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later.
In addition to improving the mix and quality of retailers in the station, London Underground are also likely to work with museums to bring something of the wonder above down into the station's apocalyptic foot tunnel and depressing ticket hall.
More immediate plans include a major expansion of retail opportunities at Canary Wharf station starting next April, followed later in the year by the construction of a business lounge.
But it's not just the tourist and business-centric stations which are set for a facelift – TfL is looking at how other stations can be used to enhance the services on offer to local communities and, in some cases, push the Mayor's social inclusion agenda.
This could include working with agencies such as the Post Office and Met police to provide counter services in stations to fill gaps in their coverage.
Craig says each station will be looked at on a case by case basis to ensure that the new services really do address local need and make a positive contribution.
Some of the ideas floating around are so obvious that it's baffling nobody implemented them years ago, but it seems the wider austerity drive and political pressure to keep fares increases to a minimum is helping to sweep aside internal barriers to change.
While it's inevitable that not every change will be met with universal acclaim, the plans in development seem far preferable to the sort of 'Oxford Landing' sponsorship deal which gets mooted from time to time.

Malaysian budget airline Firefly to resume flights to Singapore on April 21
#Singapore News Singapore
CtoI News Desk Tuesday, April 9th 2019
Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke said budget carrier Firefly will be resuming flights to Singapore on Apr 21, operating out of Seletar Airport.
Another Malaysian carrier, Malindo Air, has approached airport authorities in Singapore for approval to fly to Seletar Airport.
According to reports, Singapore and Malaysia agreed on Monday, April 8, to work together to develop GPS-based instrument approach procedures for Seletar Airport. These will replace the recently withdrawn Instrument Landing System (ILS) procedures.
Speaking at the Singapore-Malaysia Transport Ministers Press Conference, Mr Loke said he hoped for increased air connectivity between both countries in future. "I think this is so good for our cooperation and the way forward."
Last year in December, Firefly was unable to obtain approval from Malaysia's aviation regulator to move its operations from Changi Airport to Seletar Airport. The budget carrier was forced to suspend its 20 daily flights between Singapore and Subang, Ipoh and Kuantan.

In an arrangement approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 1973, Singapore provides air traffic services over parts of southern peninsular Malaysia that is within the Kuala Lumpur Flight Information Region.
Malaysia had wanted in December to reclaim its "delegated airspace" in southern Johor. Authorities cited concerns over sovereignty and national interest. Concerns were also raised about the ILS procedures for Seletar Airport, that the flight path would impact developments and shipping operations at Johor's Pasir Gudang.
Singapore responded that the ILS had simply put on paper the existing flight paths, making safety rules clearer and more transparent, previous media reports said.
On Friday, April 5, Singapore withdrew the ILS procedures for Seletar Airport. At the same time, Malaysia indefinitely suspended its permanent restricted area over Pasir Gudang.
Transport ministers also announced that a high-level committee has been set up to review the existing airspace arrangement.

KANSAS CITY – Salvador Perez hit a scorching liner off the glove of third baseman Adrian Beltre for a single, allowing Jarrod Dyson to score the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Jason Frasor (4-1) left runners on the corners in the eighth against his former team, and Aaron Crow worked around a two-out single in the ninth for his third save of the season.
All-Star closer Greg Holland was unavailable after pitching three consecutive days.
The Rangers' Derek Holland and counterpart Jeremy Guthrie pitched to a stalemate through seven innings before the Royals broke through against Michael Kirkman (0-1) in the eighth.
The Royals' Nori Aoki and the Rangers' Daniel Robertson drove in the game's other runs.
Holland, making his season debut for the Rangers, looked unhindered by the knee surgery that had kept him out all season. Holland worked around a double in the first and breezed through the middle innings, his only real trouble hardly of his own doing.
Alcides Escobar doubled leading off the third, a fly ball that left fielder Ryan Rua should have tracked down at the wall. Two batters later, Aoki lofted a fly ball to shallow left field that Rua whiffed on with an awkward slide, allowing Kansas City to take a 1-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Guthrie kept dodging trouble until the fifth, when Roughned Odor tripled to start the inning. Robertson drove him in with a groundout to tie the game.
Guthrie proceeded to battle through two more innings on a night when the Royals were short on bullpen help. Top relievers Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Holland had each pitched three straight nights, making them unavailable to manager Ned Yost.
Francisley Bueno recorded one out for Kansas City. Frasor and Crow handled the rest.
The Royals recalled Crow, INF Christian Colon, OF Terrance Gore and RHP Liam Hendriks from Double-A Northwest Arkansas before the game. … The Rangers recalled RHPs Nick Tepesch and Lisalverto Bonilla and INF Luis Sardinas while promoting Kirkman from Triple-A Round Rock. Kirkman took the loss while Sardinas made the final out as a pinch-hitter.


Watson, playing in a club in DC called the Blues Angel owned by Mrs. Sally-Rose Johnson. They were bringing in a young white man, Rafael Hurt from Mississippi as their partner to give him a chance. Well, actually they were family to him. He grew up with the three old men as his uncles in a fashion, family by choice not by blood.
Deacon Davis is sent by his editor at the Washington Post to cover the story of a white man playing the Blues at the Blue Angel. As a photojournalist it is not really his kind of hard new story, but he didn't seem to have a choice on this one. When murder occurs the story changes dramatically and Deke is caught up in the kind of investigative action he lives for. However, this action may cost him a relationship that is just about to begin, as he and Rafael hit it off in a big way.
Truth or family, which choice will they make? Deke lives for the truth and Rafe lives for his family. Together they have something special forming, but if Deke has his way the legends will be tarnished and he may loose Rafe. To what lengths will Rafe go to save his family and will he risk loosing Deke? Not only do they have to deal with the murder investigation, but with their budding love. Deke is part black and part Comanche, Rafe is all white, and this was not accepted in the 60's and neither was two men in love. With all that against them will love win out? This is wonderfully written and draws the reader right into the heart and soul of these people and the time they lived in. It brings out the depth of the Blues.

Iowa Under Water: Familiar Ground is Flooded
In the months before my freshman year at the University of Iowa, the Iowa River flooded its banks, closing one dorm for the entire first semester and leaving me with 2 roommates in a double dorm — some doubles were turned into quads, in fact. Fifteen years later, and the flooding is worse — just look at the extensive and graphic slideshows at the Iowa City Press-Citizen website and this timeline of two freakish weeks of rain.
It was clear by midweek (last week) that the flooding would surpass the epic proportions of 1993 — in Cedar Rapids the river crested 5 feet higher than it did in '93. But — in a typically pathetic show of domestic carelessness by the Bush Administration, it wasn't until Friday that FEMA declared disaster areas in Cedar and Johnson county (Iowa's governor declared 83 of Iowa's 99 counties disaster areas by the end of the week). And today — Sunday — with supplies of drinkable water subsiding and key arteries closed in Iowa City/Coralville, FEMA does not even have an office established in the county. Not even a trailer. And the Iowa River may not crest until Monday night / Tuesday.
Now, summer school has been suspended, and at least 15 University of Iowa buildings have started to flood. Pictured above is the Taco Bell in Coralville that was the site of many cheap feeds and multiple refills of Pepsi back in my undergrad days.
I hope the university and the residents throughout the state get the help and relief they need — it doesn't look pretty. More good (student) coverage at the Daily Iowan (w/ video too). Live video stream available via KCRG-Cedar Rapids. Viewer-contributed footage via KCRG / YouNews is here and below.
