Five weeks ago, I announced that the Diocese of Pittsburgh was committed to establish an independently administered
compensation program to assist survivors of clergy sexual abuse. I pledged to announce the specifics of that program
before the end of the year. Today I am honoring that pledge.
As I have said many times from my heart, the protection of children and healing of victims truly is the priority of the
Diocese of Pittsburgh. We have continually sought to strengthen and improve our policies over the course of the last thirty
years. This effort will never be finished until the scourge of child sexual abuse is eradicated from our society. As part of
this pledge, we have undertaken a number of steps to assess our policies, learn from the many voices in our communities,
and seek guidance for the future.
Several months ago, I announced that the diocese engaged Professor Shay Bilchik, Director of the Center for Juvenile
Justice Reform at Georgetown University and a renowned expert on the prevention and prosecution of child sexual abuse
to conduct a comprehensive review of all diocesan practices related to the protection of children and young people.
I have now completed listening sessions in all vicariates of the diocese. Together with everyone in attendance at those
diocesan wide sessions, I have heard again first hand of how sexual abuse suffered at the hands of clergy has damaged
innocent young people and the families who love them. I have promised to take what I have heard in these sessions, as
well as the recommendations of Professor Bilchik, and present them in substantive Plans of Action that will be released in
the form of a pastoral letter before March 6, the beginning of our Lenten season.
As for the survivors' compensation program, the payment of money cannot heal the scars of sexual abuse inflicted upon a
young person. However, what compensation can do is to help acknowledge the scourge of past clergy sexual abuse.
Secondly, it can assist those brave survivors as they journey to find peace and happiness in their lives.
Therefore, today I am announcing the creation of the Diocese of Pittsburgh Independent Reconciliation and Compensation
Program for claims of clergy sexual abuse of minors. This independently administered compensation program will be
funded by the diocese.
There is no way to know at this time the number of claims that will be brought forward. And while the financial
commitment of the diocese will be substantial, I am not able today to indicate what that amount will be. But I can tell you
that the diocese will fund the program through investments held from the previous sale of historical diocesan assets such
as the Saint Joseph Protectory and other closed institutions. Additional program funding may very well need to come
from the future sale of diocesan owned, downtown properties.
Let me be clear. No funds for this program will come from Our Campaign for the Church Alive!, from Catholic Charities,
parishes, schools, or any other funds designated for a specific use by donors. Nor have such funds been used in the past to
compensate victims.
This new compensation program will be independent of and separate from all other ongoing diocesan efforts to assist
survivors of clergy abuse.
In turning to the features of this new reconciliation and compensation program, I will first note that any such program
designed to compensate survivors of abuse must be more about the survivors than about the payment of money. It is
about recognizing the harm done by past abuse and of our continuing the pledge of taking every appropriate action to
prevent the occurrence of future abuse. We believe that it is important for us to help survivors resolve their claims
quickly. In our search for a capable, effective and independent party to administer this fund, the Diocese of Pittsburgh,
like many other dioceses, recognized the unique skills of Mr. Kenneth R. Feinberg and Ms. Camille S. Biros. Mr.
Feinberg and Ms. Biros are nationally recognized claims administration experts renowned for their abilities to manage and
resolve complex claims programs.
Except for the funding, the program is wholly independent from the diocese. The program is designed to help survivors
come forward in an atmosphere where their interests are secure and respected, without the uncertainty and stress of
litigation. The Administrators of the program will have complete autonomy to determine eligibility of individual claims.
They will also determine the amount of compensation for victims who come forward with a claim.
Finally and most importantly, I again want to express my deep sorrow and regret for the pain inflicted upon survivors of
clergy sexual abuse and their families. I can't offer that apology enough.


Welcome to the October newsletter from the Panasonic Visual System Solutions team – your guide to the latest news, events and developments in projectors and displays.
For brighter, immersive and ultra-reliable projection in auditoriums, museums and large event settings, the Panasonic PT-RZ31K Series sets a new standard. Consisting of two ultra-high brightness 3-Chip DLPTM laser projectors – the PT-RZ31K (WUXGA) and the PT-RS30K (SXGA+) – the range delivers 31,000 lm (centre) of brightness from exceptionally compact and lightweight bodies.
Available this month, the two projectors feature Panasonic's proprietary SOLID SHINE laser technology, ensuring incredibly immersive picture quality combined with real maintenance-free design for up to 20000 hours.
A unique Panasonic dual light source allows for uninterrupted projection as it offers redundancy in case of a technical fault. This makes the projector ideal for high-profile entertainment, staging, rental and exhibition applications.
The PT-RZ31K not only offers the extremely high lumen output and superb laser colour reproduction required for large venue applications, but also contains a Real Motion Processor, which uses frame-creation technology to reproduce extremely smooth video images with minimal motion blur.
With dustproof design, long-life eco filter and refined air-intake system adding to the projectors' reliability and durability, and free 360º installation guaranteeing versatility in every setting, these truly are the ultimate in auditorium and events projection solutions.
When choosing a projector for corporate meeting rooms or classrooms, opting for a budget-friendly solution needn't mean compromising on compact design or picture quality. Panasonic's new 5,000 lm PT-EZ57 LCD projector delivers them all, along with easy maintenance and system flexibility.
High picture quality comes from high-resolution WUXGA, and Daylight View Basic function, which adjusts the image according to the ambient light conditions.
Low total cost of ownership and easy maintenance are achieved thanks to a long lamp replacement cycle of 5,000 hours (eco mode), easy access to the lamp and filter, a reusable Eco Filter that gives 15,000 hours life, and dust-resistant cabinet.
System flexibility is delivered via a compact body, two HDMI connections, wide area lens shift and 1.8x wide zoom ratio, ultra-quiet operation, horizontal, vertical and corner keystone correction, and wireless projection with optional dongle.
Available with a wide range of mounts, brackets and software, the PT-EZ57 has the performance, versatility and value to be the perfect tool for business and education settings.
In retail, function venues, museums and exhibitions, where creating impact and engagement are so critical, the Panasonic Space Player opens a world of possibilities by integrating traditional lighting and laser projection in a single spotlight-shaped design.
Combined with specific content or basic mapping software, the Space Player can then be used to bring exhibits to life.
The Space Player can project in all directions below its horizontal axis and can be used in conjunction with SD cards, PCs, and tablets for play back of contents. The use of a laser light source means 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.
The new PT-JX200 features 2,000 lm brightness, a high-quality 1-Chip DLP™ imaging system providing crisp XGA resolution. A hybrid colour wheel defines four colour segments for outstanding colour reproduction, and selectable picture mode prioritises colour reproduction for impressive image quality in environments with less ambient light.
With every ship boasting 16 guest decks and 2,090 staterooms, including 1,570 balcony rooms and 373 interior staterooms, all of which have high-tech virtual balconies, it's fair to say that the three Quantum Class ships of Royal Caribbean International's fleet are really rather special.
The same level of quality and cutting-edge technology is demanded in the on-board entertainment offered on each vessel – particularly when it comes to the ships' multi-level great room, Two70.
Unparalleled technology means every show at Two70 is multi-dimensional and immerses the audience through a combination of live performers, breath-taking video and digital scenery. A central pillar of Two70 is Vistarama, a floor-to-ceiling video projection mapping that allows Royal Caribbean to create any scene, real or imagined, as a backdrop to the theatre. Vistarama combines 18 Panasonic PT-DZ21K2 Evo 20,000 lm projectors to create a stunning 12K resolution screen over 30m wide and 6m tall.
"The technological vision for Two70 belonged to Christopher Vlassopulos of Royal Caribbean," said Leif Witte, Managing Director of Amptown System Company, responsible for the integration of media and entertainment technology for Royal Caribbean's Quantum class ship generation.
Located in Roskilde, Denmark, RAGNAROCK museum celebrates youth culture and music from the 1950s up to the present day. Situated in a distinctive golden studded building the museum makes use of a range of audio-visual technology to tell the story of rock and pop music and their many subgenres.
Opened in April 2016, the permanent exhibition uses a total of 15 Panasonic projectors alongside three 55" Panasonic displays throughout the 1,200-square metre space. The museum also contains a theatre space which regularly hosts music films and documentaries, played out on a Panasonic PT-RZ670 laser projector.
In 2016, Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus, Denmark, created 'Gladiator – Heroes of the Colosseum', a stunning attraction that presented stories from the lives of the gladiators, giving visitors an up-close journey into the arenas of Rome and Pompeii.
Alongside more than 200 artefacts from ancient Italy, the museum has recreated a Roman amphitheatre, thanks to a 26m projection covering an entire wall of the exhibit. The awning above the spectator area, the 'Velarium', and the elevator from the corridors below the Colosseum, from which wild animals are brought to the fights, are just a few of the physical elements that allow the exhibition area to resemble the real Colosseum.
Hidden within the cavea (the concentric rows of stone steps on which the audience sat) are eight Panasonic PT-RZ670 laser projectors. The perfect edge blending from them creates a 20-minute projected movie depicting stories of ancient Rome, taken from period marble friezes.
Each projector features 6,500 lm of brightness, has an extremely compact body and provide advanced features, such as DIGITAL LINK connectivity, portrait mode capability and multi-screen projection.
An underfloor cage also houses a virtual lion within a Panasonic TH-70LF50 70" flat screen, with the animal ultimately released to interact with the main projected content.
"Before we opened you don't know how the flow is going to be, we have both traditional artefacts and video elements, but visitors stay for the full 20 minutes," said Lasse Ugilt Sø, AV technician at Moesgaard Museum. "Redundancy is critical for us, so to know that each of the projectors has 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation gives us peace of mind."
A centre of excellence for vehicle-related virtual design, the Renault Group's Virtual Reality and Immersive Simulation Center features several CAVEs™ (Cave Automatic Virtual Environments), as well as high-performance driving simulators and software tools.
• perfect image adjustment to achieve fluid visualisation in real time.
It was for these reasons that five Panasonic PT-DZ870 projectors with ET-DLE030 ultra-short throw lenses were chosen.
"We wanted to provide tools adapted to meet the different needs of the different professionals," says Javier Posselt, Project Manager in Augmented and Virtual Reality Technologies and Project Manager for the Everyday CAVE (P3i*).
"The Panasonic solutions allowed us to do that. We therefore planned the CAVE™ construction around the Panasonic solutions. As the available space is rather tight, the idea was to maximise the working area, whilst ensuring that extremely high-quality images could be displayed via synchronised direct projection, and to achieve the best brightness/contrast ratio with as fine a pixel as possible."
Now available in the Visual Academy course calendar: "Laser Projector Technology & Features"
The first training, starting mid-November, will take place in the newly reopened Training Centre for Visual Products in Panasonic's European headquarters, in Wiesbaden.
The face-to-face training about "Laser Projector Technology & Features" will explain the full professional line up with Technology and Features highlighted, and hands on training with the latest products included.


About four months ago, I went to Orchard Supply Hardware for their going-out-of-business sale and bought (among other things) three sets of Kwikset lever-style door handles. (Specifically, Balboa style, in Venetian Bronze finish.) There was nothing wrong with the brass-ish round knobs on the doors in my house, but I found these levers much prettier.
But when I got them home, I quailed at the thought of replacing the doorknobs. It felt like a big project, with all sorts of ways it could go wrong. I wanted to wait until Kam was around so she could spot me, and fix things in case of disaster, but I never seemed to get around to this project when Kam was here. So the new levers sat on my loveseat, and later on my coffee table, for months, taunting me.
The second and third doorknob replacements took me only about ten minutes each.
I've long known that Things Are Made Of Stuff, and I've even dealt specifically with door hardware before. But somehow it hadn't occurred to me that replacing doorknobs would be this easy.
It was exciting and fun and happy-making and very satisfying to be able to do these few simple steps and end up with my doors looking prettier than they used to, and still working well.
I should add that a great deal of the credit goes to Kwikset, which did a great job of designing the levers, creating the instructions, and including all the needed materials in the package. (I imagine that other door-level manufacturers do similarly well; part of the excellence-of-design here was improved by standardization.) More on that to follow in a separate post.

Fears of Violence Following Arrest of Islamic Movement Head, Bars Him from Yerushalayim
Israeli Security forces fear an outbreak of further violence following the arrest of the leader of the Islamic Movement's northern branch, Sheikh Ra'ad Salah. Salah was arrested, and later released, last night after Police Commissioner David Cohen, State Prosecutor Moshe Lador and Yerushalayim police chief Aharon Franco decided that Salah would be interrogated about recent statements.
The Yerushalayim Magistrate's Court ordered Salah released four hours after his arrest. Judge Shimon Fineberg accepted the police's argument that Salah's statements could endanger the peace in Yerushalayim , but he said it would be enough to keep him out of the city. Salah was ordered to stay out of Yerushalayim for 30 days.
Cohen, Lador and Franco said the statements "ostensibly involved a series of statements of incitement and sedition." Earlier this week, Salah called for Muslims to come to the Har Habyis to protest and prevent right-wing Jewish groups from entering the site.
Police arrived at around 7 p.m. at a home in the East Yerushalayim neighborhood of Wadi Joz. They found Salah on the roof with about 30 people and took him into custody without resistance.
Many police officers have been redeployed from across the country to Yerushalayim's Old City and East Yerushalayim ; yesterday they were also stationed in West Yerushalayim for fear Arabs would try to disturb the many visitors to the city.
Police remain on high alert today and are limiting the entry of Muslims to the Temple Mount for the fourth day in a row. Entry will be permitted to men over 50 and women of any age. Jewish visitors and tourists will not be allowed to enter the Mount.
Police yesterday said Salah's arrest was not meant to involve the entire Arab community, but one individual alleged to have broken the law. They said they were working "determinedly to ensure freedom of religion and practice for all faiths … and to prevent individual extremists from breaking the rules and damaging the fabric of life."
A spokesman for the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, Attorney Zadi Nujeidat, told Haaretz : "We are a close-knit, grassroots movement, and we will continue our activities and call for a continued presence in and around the mosque.
"We are used to arrests and we will know how to deal with the arrest on a public level and in the courts. However, nothing will change our position."
A tense calm prevailed yesterday in Yerushalayim , with nearly 2,000 police left with little to do as tens of thousands of visitors flooded the Old City and more than 70,000 people took part in two traditional Sukkos marches in the capital.
During the single violent incident , at around 5 p.m., dozens of Arab teens hurled rocks at police in the East Yerushalayim neighborhood of Ras al-Amud. They also set fire to wooden crates to block the road. Police cleared the way and the incident ended with no injuries or damage.
MK Talab al-Sana (United Arab List-Ta'al) said the decision to arrest Salah had "added fuel to the fire," adding that he "placed responsibility on the police and their leaders for developments at Al-Aqsa."
He said the arrest indicated that senior police officers had "lost their senses" and had surrendered to "extreme political figures in charge of them." A fellow Knesset faction member, MK Ibrahim Sarsur, called for "an end to the incitement against the Islamic Movement and the Arab public."
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas joined attacks on Israel yesterday in a televised interview in Yemen. He said Israel was harming worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and hinted that the Arab countries were not investing enough resources in assisting the Palestinians to prevent what he called the continued Judaization of Yerushalayim.
A senior official in the U.S. State Department said that the United States was monitoring developments closely. "We urge all parties to refrain from actions that could inflame tensions or lead to violence. All parties must take responsibility to calm the situation. Our continued priority is re-launching negotiations in an atmosphere conducive to their success," the official said.

Q: How to implement Reactive Form as custom component using NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR? I do have a custom component for template driven form where I use NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR. It works really good. Now I would like to switch to reactive form. StackBlitz Demo
The issue is that how to use a reactive form as a custom component and pass
formGroup and formControlName and also how to pass the rest of the other attributes dynamically to the parent component such as required etc.
The required attribute as fare as I know, is being defined in the *.component.ts file. Therefore it would not be possible to set dynamically in the parent as an attribute binding like in template driven form.
I have been searching but unfortunately no significant result.
Any Idea how could I implement reactive form as custom component using NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR and passing attribute dynamically?

A: Really I don't know what do you want. Your custom form control work with reactive Forms too (see your custom form control using reactive form)
<form [formGroup]="myForm">
   <app-elements-input formControlName="name" ...>
   </app-elements-input>
</form>
//and
myForm=new FormGroup(
    {
        name:new FormControl()
    }
  )

Well some times it's necesary know when the control is invalid, touched...
A easy way is add as provider NG_VALIDATORS
{provide: NG_VALIDATORS,
      useExisting:forwardRef(() => InputComponent),
       multi: true}

Add one variable, e.g.
control:any=null;

e implements Validator, that's add in the declaration and create a function validate where we give value to "control"
export class InputComponent implements ...,Validator {..}

public validate(c: FormControl) {
  if (!this.control)
    this.control=c;
  return null;
 // return (!this._value && !this.required)?{required:true}:null
}

So you can use in html some like
<span *ngIf="control?.invalid">*</span>

Don't forget indicate when the control is touched, in the example, we can use the event (blur) of the input
<input ... (blur)="onTouched()">

If you want make a component to control a formgroup it's only pass as `@Input()' the fromGroup or the formControl
<form [formGroup]="myForm">
       <children [argformControl]="myForm.get('name')">
       </children>
</form>
//and
@Input() argformControl:FormControl

or
<form [formGroup]="myForm">
       <children [argFormGroup]="myForm">
       </children>
</form>
//and
@Input() argFormGroup:FormGroup

Update this allow as, e.g. if we has an array of object like
data=[{name:'name',label:'Name'},{name:'surname',label:'Surname'}]

make some like
<!--I add a "clasic" *ngIf to avoid initialize problems
   It can be placed in the form, or in children-->
<form *ngIf="myForm" [formGroup]="myForm">
   <children [argFormGroup]="myForm" [data]="data">
   </children>
</form>

And our children becomes
<div *ngFor="let item of data">
{{item.label}}<input [formControl]="argFormGroup.get(item.name)">
</div>
//and
 @Input() argFormGroup:FormGroup
 @Input() data:any[]

A custom formControl is a "black box". You send a value -a string, a object...- and you can modify this string or object. It's look like a "complex input" (a mat-date-picker, e.g. is a custom form control)

Home Sport FIFA Proposes a New Mini-World Cup
FIFA Proposes a New Mini-World Cup
Ugo Aliogo with agency report
Coming barely months after expanding the 2026 World Cup from 32 teams to a 48-team format, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has proposed staging what would effectively be a new mini-World Cup, featuring eight international teams, every two years in addition to the traditional event.
According to Reuters, the tournament to be known as the "Final 8", would be the climax of a proposed global Nations League competition, part of an ambitious plan to reform international football which FIFA believes could be worth $25 billion in a 12-year cycle.
In a letter seen by Reuters, Infantino, suggested that the new tournament would take place every October and/or November of every odd year starting from 2021.
He said that a "solid and serious" group of investors were willing to spend $25 billion on the competition and a revamped version of the Club World Cup, which would also start in 2021 with 24 teams.
The Confederations Cup, currently staged every four years in a year before the World Cup, would be abolished.
The letter did not clearly indicate how many slots would be allocated to each region.
The plans were sent by Infantino to the members of FIFA's decision-making Council which still has to approve them.
The new competition would run parallel to existing international tournaments such as the European Championship, Copa America, and African Nations Cup, plus the World Cup qualifying stages.
It could lead to criticism that FIFA is over-complicating international football and devaluing its flagship World Cup.
FIFA could not immediately be reached for comment.
European soccer body UEFA and its counterpart for North and Central America and the Caribbean, CONCACAF, have already set up Nations League contests in their own continents.
In both cases, the competitions involve all the national teams in their respective regions who are divided into divisions based on their rankings.
There is promotion and relegation between the divisions, as in conventional domestic club leagues. UEFA's inaugural competition will begin in September this year. Other continents would have to set up similar competitions for the tournament to be viable.
Infantino suggested that similar intercontinental mini-tournaments to the Final 8 could also be organised for the top teams in the lower divisions.
Infantino's letter said that all revenue from the competition would be redistributed.
"This means that FIFA as an organisation would not benefit financially from this competition," he said.
"We believe this offer is an excellent opportunity for the confederations and member associations as well as for football in general."
In a separate proposal for Europe, the letter suggested that member associations could receive up to $50 million for taking part in a single UEFA Nations League campaign although this amount would only be for the top-five ranking federations.
The next biggest five European countries would receive $15 million to $20 million while the 33 lowest-ranked associations would receive a more modest $7 million.

Seedcamp to jump-start African entrepreneurs at Tech4Africa conference
Submitted by Khanya on Thu, 2010/06/03 - 10:52
Technovated
Thu, 2010/06/03
Seedcamp, a European micro seed fund that invests in early stage startup companies, will be attending the Tech4Africa conference in August this year to identify African startups for potential investment and an opportunity to attend the Seedcamp Week programmeheld in September in London, UK. This marks the first time that a Mini Seedcamp programme will be hosted in Africa.
A few selected African entrepreneurs will have a rare opportunity to pitch their businesses at a group of people connected to powerful investors, mentors and startups throughout EMEA, with one team being chosen to take part in Seedcamp Week, where its founders will gain exposure to investors and world-class mentors.
Seedcamp is a programme created to jumpstart the entrepreneurial community in Europe, Middle East and Africa by connecting next generation developers and entrepreneurs from a network of over 400 top-tier industry mentors.
It acts as a micro seed fund to invest in startup companies, offering standard investments of €30,000-50,000 to selected companies. The initiative's flagship event, Seedcamp Week, takes place in London in September every year, and it is here where beneficiaries for the post-3 month programme are chosen.
Following Seedcamp Week, the companies who receive investment stay in London for three months to grow and develop their company, building key and lasting business relationships along the way to help them sustain a viable business.
"In addition to a direct route to seed and venture capital, companies that participate in Seedcamp get enormous validation and access to a world-class network of advisors that help them with every aspect of their businesses," says Gareth Knight, managing director at Technovated, the company that is organising Tech4Africa.
Says Reshma Sohoni, CEO at Seedcamp: "We want to provide a catalyst for the next generation of African entrepreneurs and help them take risks, think big, and succeed. Our programme provides entrepreneurs with access to seed funding but also more importantly, gives them exposure to the collective experience of people who can help them to build successful businesses."
African entrepreneurs that want to apply for the Mini Seedcamp Africa programme can apply through the Tech4Africa event Web site (http://www.tech4africa.com/seedcamp/). It is anticipated that 10 teams will be selected to take part in the Mini Seedcamp event at Tech4Africa.
The successful applicants will have opportunities to interact with Seedcamp mentors and to present their businesses to Seedcamp. A committee may choose one startup to attend Seedcamp Week in London.
*Tech4Africaruns from 12-13 August 2010 at The Forum in Bryanston. Workshops will be held on 10-11 August. The event is targeted at business professionals and technologists from businesses of all sizes, from entrepreneurs and start-up owners through to professionals working at large organisations.
A stellar line-up of international speakers – including speakers from Twitter, Mozilla and Yahoo! – will be presenting at the conference. Clay Shirky - one of the world's leading thinkers and writers on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies - will be a keynote speaker. More details are available at http://www.tech4africa.com.

It's been a while since I joined in with my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk. Dark One's Bride stalled over the last few months, in part to the passing of a dear kitty. I've managed to reach chapter eight since then.
The chime of the temple bells filled the air. Their tuneless song hammered at Clara's head. Wincing, she turned from the wardrobe, temporarily abandoning her search for a respectable daytime gown. She parted the heavy window curtains just enough to let in the first fingers of sunlight. It seemed that even with the journey here and the sickness of last night taxing her, she couldn't sleep much beyond dawn.
The sun was barely high enough to illuminate the city rooftops. From up here, it Endlight didn't look any different to her village. The same roofs, tile or thatch depending on the wealth of the owners. The styles barely differed from home, the roofs might've been a little steeper and the chimney tops were bulkier, but it was the same wood, stone and plaster walls. Nothing to really denote a change in places.

Welcome back Aldrea. As Siobhan said, so many places around the world look the same now, unless they're old.
Sorry to hear about the kitty 😦 Enjoyed the snippet, very descriptive of the locale.
So sorry about the kitty, I know what it's like to lose a beloved pet. x Lovely descriptive excerpt, glad you've been able to carry on with this, I hadn't read the previous excerpts but it sounds very intriguing.
I'm sorry about your kitten. 😥 The description you gave here is fantastic!
It looks similar, but maybe the bells sound different?
No matter where you go, there you are. (((HUGS))) on loss of kitty!!
I've had that feeling, where somewhere new and foreign can remind you if home. I've found those things make me appreciate home even more.
Lovely descriptive phrases. Sorry about the loss of your pet. That's hard.
I liked the snippet! (Though, as your critique partner, I should bring up that you have an extra "it" in there.) From up here, it Endlight didn't look any different to her village.
Nancy Gideon took my line.
Losing a pet can hurt as much as (and sometimes more than) losing a person.
This scene is vivid. I was viewing it with the character.

Q: Celery task not received by worker when two projects My colleague has written celery tasks, necessary configuration in settings file, also supervisors config file. Everything is working perfectly fine. The projects is handed over to me and I seeing some issues that I have to fix.
There are two projects running on a single machine, both projects are almost same, lets call them projA and projB.
supervisord.conf file is as:
;for projA
[program:celeryd]
directory=/path_to_projA/
command=celery -A project worker -l info
...

[program:celerybeat]
directory=/path_to_projA/
command=celery -A project beat -l info
...

; For projB
[program:celerydB]
directory=/path_to_projB/
command=celery -A project worker -l info
...

[program:celerybeatB]
directory=/path_to_projB/
command=celery -A project beat -l info
...

The issue is, I am creating tasks through a loop and only one task is received from celeryd of projA, and remaining task are not in received (or could be received by celeryd of projB).
But when I stop celery programs for projB everything works well. Please note, the actual name of django-app is project hence celery -A project worker/beat -l info.
Please bare, I am new to celery, any help is appreciated. TIA.

A: As the Celery docs says,

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing.

When multiple tasks are created through a loop, tasks are evenly distributed to two different workers ie worker of projA and worker of projB since your workers are same.
If projects are similar or as you mentioned almost same, you can use Celery Queue but of course your queues across projects should be different.
Celery Docs for the same is provided here.
You need to set CELERY_DEFAULT_QUEUE, CELERY_DEFAULT_ROUTING_KEY and CELERY_QUEUES
 in your settings.py file.
And your supervisor.conf file needs queue name in the commands line for all the programs.
For Ex: command=celery -A project beat -l info -Q <queue_name>
And that should work, based on my experience.

Q: Two display monitors instead of built-in display I have two monitors and my laptop's built-in display. However, my laptop has only a 15 inch screen, so I would like to use my two monitors instead of one monitor and my built-in display.
I have connected both my monitors to my laptop's docking station, and they also display the desktop screen when I turn them on. The problem is, even though the two monitors display the desktop screen, I am only able to use one of them (i.e the mouse pointer does not extend to one of the screens). It is still one monitor and my built-in display.
If it is possible to use all the three screens, well and good. If not, how to turn off my built-in display and use my two monitors?

A: Been there.  Done that.  Still have dust on the lid of the laptop.  I don't know if what worked for me will necessarily work for you, but it probably will if your laptop is configured similarly.
AFTER MUCH fiddling with NVIDIA drivers and configuration screens, I discovered that my HP DV9000 laptop which I was initially given as a basket case broken laptop, was actually supposed to come with an IR wireless remote. I was able to purchase it on eBay which permitted me to turn it on while leaving the lid shut.  Unsurprisingly, HP designed these laptops to not power up their display when the lid is shut.
Providing yours is similarly configured, you may be able to do this.  Alternatively, you may be able to configure your power settings to not put the laptop to sleep when the lid is shut, and it is possible that the internal screen will power down with the lid closed.

Google CEO Dismisses Glass Privacy Concerns
During a recent shareholder's meeting, Google CEO Larry Page weighed in on the issue of privacy as it relates to Glass.
By Adario Strange
https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-ceo-dismisses-glass-privacy-concerns
During last month's Google I/O conference, CEO Larry Page had little to say regarding Glass, mostly deferring to his co-founder Sergey Brin. Unlike his 2012 Zeitgeist appearance(Opens in a new window), Page also opted not to wear the device while delivering his keynote address.
Neverthless, Page's enthusiasm for the innovative wearable computing device appears to be undiminished, based on comments reportedly made at a recent shareholders meeting at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters.
When questioned about Glass privacy, Page said, "People worry about all sorts of things that actually, when we use the product, it is not that big a concern," according to a report(Opens in a new window) from AFP. "You don't collapse in terror that someone might be using Glass in the bathroom just the same as you don't collapse in terror when someone comes in with a smartphone that might take a picture."
Page is likely referring to a high-profile critique(Opens in a new window) of Glass that recently appeared in the New York Times in which the writer described a troubling encounter with Glass wearers in the bathroom during the Google I/O conference.
The issue of Glass as a potential threat to the public's privacy has become such a topic of debate that it even prompted members of Congress to draft a letter to Google calling for answers to the public's concerns. The letter(Opens in a new window), which requests a formal reply by next Friday, is only the most formal response to Glass, a device that has divided many in the tech community over its potential impact on interpersonal relations.
The device has even drawn comments of skepticism from Apple CEO Tim Cook. "I think it's probably more likely to appeal to certain vertical markets," he said at D11. "I think the likelihood that it has a broad range appeal…that's tough to see."

Striking, quiet, and rough, the Anatolian Shepherd Dog furiously ensures his safety. The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a local of Turkey, where he was produced as a shepherd's partner and domesticated animals' gatekeeper. He was reproduced to take after the size and shading of the domesticated animals he shielded so predators would not identify him among the herd. Once in a while, it is called the Anatolian Karabash Dog; he's a wildly steadfast watchman pooch, an expansive, and great puppy breed.
The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a viewed as a domesticated animal defender or as a watchman pooch. As indicated, he was produced to live with the herd and embrace it as his own. He is a tough, self-assured watchman who knows the amount of insurance or intimidation and how important it is in any circumstance. This breed has been working freely for a considerable length of time, settling on choices with dangers to his property. As a puppy, he receives whomever he lives with, be it a family or a group of sheep; as he develops, he tackles the defender stance. It doesn't make a difference to this breed whether his "herd" is human or creature — he is amazingly defensive and possessive.
He enforces his watchman nature with full authority. The Anatolian is a huge canine, weighing as much as 150 pounds. He has a short, stoop layer and a dark cover. He seems frightening if he needs to be; however he's always cool and neighborly with his family. His defensive nature develops as he develops; when he's around year and a half old, he deliberately tackles the part of a gatekeeper.
Expect a test for administration eventually with the Anatolian Shepherd. Holders must be eager to practice pack power reliably and sympathetic. Since they are so extensive, expect high expenses for boarding, prescriptions, and nourishment buys; you'll likewise require a huge vehicle for them.
Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are touchy to anesthesia. Examine this with your veterinarian before any surgical methodology. Entropion is the internal moving of the eyelid, which generally influences the lower eyelids of both eyes. It is chafing and reasons debilitation of vision. It, for the most part, happens before a pooch turns a year old, yet treatment ought to be held off until the puppy achieves adulthood.
It is known to blow its layer every year, and its dietary prerequisites can change amid this time. Case in point, their prerequisite for protein and fat expands while the lost layer is being supplanted.
His layer is short (about an inch long) with a thick undercoat. Now and then there is feathering on the ears, legs, and tail. His cover comes in numerous hues, including pinto, white, and mottle, yet grovel with a dark veil is a regular shade. The Anatolian Shepherd is commonly clean, so he doesn't need regular bathing. The breed's short layer obliges negligible brushing; however you can expect bountiful shedding a few times year. Additional brushing amid those times helps evacuate dead hair. Insignificant showering, three to four times each year, is all that is required.

Twelve Years of the Affordable Care Act Brings Progress on Healthcare Coverage
The Biden Administration is celebrating the twelfth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Implementation of the act has been a roller coaster but tremendous progress has been made in helping Americans without consistent and affordable access to employer insurance gain coverage through Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) or the Exchanges.
So here is a bit of history regarding the ACA:
Obama Years – President Obama was the father of the act and envisioned a seamless system where anyone uninsured could come through any door and be guided to the right program – Medicaid, SCHIP or the Exchanges. The problem was that seamless and electronic communication was never established, leading to delays and missed handoffs if an American was eligible for one program but not others. In addition, the rollout was impacted by severe technology problems.
From an economic standpoint, the sheer richness of the ACA benefits and move to community rating meant surges in overall premiums. This meant narrow networks, poor choice and high premiums early on. While some benefited from rich premium subsidies under the law, others did not. What's more, although Obama was the ultimate champion of the program, his administration made extreme political judgments that worked against coverage for many, including not funding the reinsurance and risk corridor programs sufficiently and opposing any compromise on Medicaid eligibility in states concerned about costs. The bad decisions on transitionary funding of the Exchanges led to plan exits and a further surge in premiums.
Medicaid expansion enrollment was successful in many states, but about a dozen or so failed to expand. Exchange enrollment covered millions but far less than needed.
Trump Years – The Trump years were all about unwinding the progress the ACA had made. The Trump Administration pulled back substantially on marketing and outreach for the Exchanges and contracted enrollment periods, among other changes. President Trump foolishly supported ACA repeal in the courts. The Supreme Court has now upheld the law several times. He opposed funding of the cost-sharing reduction (CSR) subsidies, which led to a further skyrocketing of premiums and plan exits. Exchange enrollment contracted. Trump concentrated on reining in Medicaid enrollment rather than expanding it, yet some even purple or red states began changing their view and voted to expand Medicaid. On the Exchange front, despite Trump's animosity, Exchange plan participation began to increase, and the program stabilized. Premiums began coming down.
Biden Years – When President Biden came in, he quickly moved to reverse much of what Trump did. He opened an Exchange special election period due to COVID, returned to aggressive marketing and outreach, and returned to longer open enrollment periods. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) enhanced premium subsidies for many and expanded them to middle-income earners who previously had no subsidy. The action expires at the end of this year. Biden recently announced a new special enrollment period for low-income consumers with household incomes under 150% of the federal poverty limit (FPL). These individuals are eligible for premium subsidies and may not have been aware of the enhancement. Regarding Medicaid, he repealed many restrictive state waivers and encouraged Medicaid enrollment.
So what has been accomplished?
Today, 14.5 million people are enrolled in an Exchange product – a record. This is a 21% increase from last year.
The Biden special enrollment and most recent open enrollment combined to get more than 5.8 million in new enrollees to the Exchange.
Compared with 2021, 2.8 million more are receiving premium subsidies in 2022. Without the premium subsidy enhancements under the ARP, premiums would have been $59 per month higher, or 53% higher.
Due to the ACA Medicaid expansions, 18.7 million now have Medicaid coverage.
All told, over 33 million have benefited from the ACA and obtained coverage.
Due to the Medicaid expansion above as well as the COVID public health emergency, Medicaid and SCHIP enrollment surged to almost 85 million in late 2021. Since the start of COVID, Medicaid and SCHIP enrollment has grown by 13.6 million.
Our uninsured rate dropped from over 44 million in 2013 (the year before the Exchanges went live) to about 29 million. The uninsured rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 8.9%, down from 10.3% for the last quarter of 2020. If over 33 million benefited from coverage from the ACA, how could the uninsured rate still be 29 million and not 11 million? Simply put, employer coverage has continued eroding due to high costs.
So what is in store.
Unfortunately, a few things are coming together to potentially mean a surge in the uninsured rate.
As noted, the ARP enhanced premium subsidies are only good through the end of 2022. It is clear the ARP enhancements meant more people could afford coverage. If they do not stay in place, an estimated 3.4 million could lose coverage. In addition, twelve states have still not expanded Medicaid, creating a "coverage no-man's land". Exchange coverage begins at 100% of the federal poverty limit (FPL). But in the non-expansion states, many find themselves "too rich" for Medicaid but "too poor" for the Exchanges. About 2.2 million could benefit from closing the coverage gap.
When the COVID public health emergency (PHE) ends, between 15 and 25 million could lose their Medicaid coverage when regular eligibility rules return. Many hopefully will make their way to employer, SCHIP or Exchange coverage, but this is sure to increase the uninsured rate to some degree as well. The impact would be mitigated if the ARP premium enhancements are continued or made permanent as well as a slow glide path to educate those losing Medicaid eligibility.
On the positive side, the Biden Administration soon will publish a rule that will address the so-called family glitch. The Obama Administration blocked family members from obtaining access to tax credits if a worker had an offer of affordable self-only coverage and was also offered a family plan. That was the case even if the family coverage would mean expending over 9.5% of income for the family coverage. This meant many workers could only afford self-only coverage and dependents have gone without coverage. Over 5 million could gain coverage, including 3 million children.

'Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter' Shirts Pulled From Wal-Mart's Website
A protester holds a Black Lives Matter T-shirt during a "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" demonstration in front of the San Francisco Hall of Justice Dec. 18, 2014, in San Francisco.
After a letter sent out by the president of the national Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police organization in the nation, Wal-Mart decided to stop selling on its website T-shirts and sweatshirts displaying the word "Bulletproof" with the words "Black Lives Matter" written under it, the Washington Post reports.
On Tuesday, Chuck Canterbury, the president of the FOP, wrote in his letter to "advise" the retail giant "to prohibit the use of the Wal-Mart name and website for the retail sale" of "offensive shirts and sweatshirts" featuring "Bulletproof" and "Black Lives Matter."
The merchandise in question was not being sold by Wal-Mart but instead was being sold via Wal-Mart's website by Old Glory Merchandise, a music-and-entertainment-apparel dealer. Old Glory also has a Blue Lives Matter sweatshirt for sale on Wal-Mart's site.
"Commercializing our differences will not help our local police and communities to build greater trust and respect for one another. Turning a buck on strained relationships will not contribute to the healing process," FOP President Canterbury wrote in his letter. "This should be a time for joy, and no family who has lost a son or daughter, whether in the line of duty or in a tragic event, should have their pain turned into someone else's profit."
Jim Pasco, the executive director of the FOP, told the Post that the issue was raised by union members who thought the retail giant was selling anti-police merchandise.
"There are a lot of people who feel too many guns are sold," Pasco said. "Why not speak out against things that might be seen as fomenting violence, rather than things that commit violence?"
On Tuesday night, Wal-Mart announced that it would pull the shirts that read "Bulletproof," but declined to remove other "Black Lives Matter" shirts.
"Like other online retailers, we have a marketplace with millions of items offered by third parties that includes Blue Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter merchandise," Wal-Mart said in a statement, according to the Post. "After hearing concerns from customers, we are removing the specific item with the 'bulletproof' reference."

Militant Islamist group threatens Tajikistan
A militant Islamist group has released a video threatening to attack targets in Tajikistan, a country where stability is considered vital to stop the spread of extremist-linked violence.

By James Kilner, Almaty
9:22AM BST 19 Sep 2011
With NATO forces gradually withdrawing from neighbouring Afghanistan, Central Asian leaders are increasingly concerned that militant groups linked to the Taleban will move north through Tajikistan to attack and destabilise the region.
The group calling itself Jamaat Ansarullah released the threat against government forces and non-believers in a 15-minute video of a bearded man wearing Afghan-style clothes and speaking in Tajik earlier this month but local media only reported it on Friday.
"Those people who pray and fast but are advocates of democracy are non-believers," the man is quoted as saying by local media.
Jamaat Ansarullah, which means Society of the Companions of Allah, claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack on a police station in the north of the country in September last year that killed at least two people.
Tajik security forces have refuted the existence of Jamaat Ansarullah and its potential to carry out its threat and some analysts have said it is most likely a splinter group of more well-known extremist groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

Tajikistan has defeated insurgency, claims security chief
Al-Qaeda training in Tajikistan
23 Tajik soldiers killed in 'terrorist attack'
This is the second Islamist threat against Tajikistan this year. In April a different group released a statement with a similar message. The government has been fighting a growing insurgency for the past year but analysts have said has not managed to stem fighting.
In a report in May, the Brussels-based think tank International Crisis Group said that global jihadists were moving into Tajikistan.
"Limited infiltration of armed guerrillas from Afghanistan has been taking place for several years," it wrote.
"A small number of fighters from the North Caucasus have also been active in Tajikistan in recent years."
Tajikistan is perhaps the poorest of the former Soviet states. It is mountainous with little mineral resources and about half of its annual income comes from Tajik men working mainly on building sites in Russia. It is also one of the main routes for drugs coming out of Afghanistan on to Russia and then Europe.
Russia is so concerned about both the drug smuggling from Afghanistan and the threat of militant Islamists creeping northwards that it is negotiating with the Tajik government to regain control of the porous 840 mile Afghan-Tajik border.
It had patrolled the border under a post-Soviet agreement until 2005 when it relinquished control to the Tajik military.
Earlier in September at a meeting in Dushanbe, Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that they had agreed to extend Russia's lease on its military bases in Tajikistan and were working towards agreeing a deal for Russian forces to return to patrolling the border.

Introducing FW22: Curves of Color🌅
TiA CiBANi presents the newest collection, Curves of Color! Inspired by a touching moment between mother and daughter watching the sunrise, Ellsworth Kelly's bold artwork, and her idyllic country town, Tia has once again reimagined the rainbow for the Fall Winter '22 Collection. The dusty hues of the early morning laid the foundation for the color palette in a rainbow of jewel tones that appear to have lost their luster from generations ago. A lone gaucho figure stands at the center of key silhouettes.
American artist, Ellsworth Kelly, had a career spanning six decades. Born in Newburgh, New York, he studied art in Boston and Paris using the G.I. Bill after fighting in World War II. He focused on abstract art using paper, painting, and sculptures. After returning to New York from Paris, he had trouble fitting in with the popular artists of the time. In an interview with Rachel Cooke, he said, "The abstract expressionists didn't use color so much, and I wanted to bring it back in some sense." Throughout his career, you can see how he truly honed his work, growing bigger and bolder and forming each piece into one form and one color.
Tia worked with artist, Ritsuko, to develop both of the signature prints for the FW22 season. The one above is called Ellsworth Horizon. Tia and Ritsuko perfectly meshed Kelly's influence and early sunrise inspiration for the season into this print. Ellsworth Kelly's use of shape against blank backgrounds in the muted colors of the season creates a beautiful design for the silk wool used in the collection.
The Gaucho Bandana print uses the Western inspiration and Ellsworth Kelly's art to create multiple different bandana designs patchworked together. This large colorful print is perfect for adding color to your winter wardrobe.

Triplicanites' long wait for Sri Parthasarathi Koil Post Office ~ continues
On 18th Mar 2013, I had posted on the endless wait of Triplicanites for the functioning of Sri Parthasarathi Post Office. It is not merely a Post Office that we have been yearning for ~ it is not simply a building or an Office – but something unique in the name of the presiding deity of Thiruvallikkeni …………
One need not belong to the generation which used post cards / inland letters / covers / telegrams / Greeting cards / money orders / postal orders and the like… for communicating… one may not have waited for the post man to come and deliver the message that you wanted to receive… The post man was once the most respected and known person in any village as people waited for his arrival expectantly everyday.
History reveals that it was way back in 1712, Governor Harrison first started a Company Postal Service in Madras to carry mail to Bengal by dak runner. Decades later the postal rules were in place ~ Chennai General Post Office was initially opened in Fort St. George Square, just outside the Sea Gate, on 1 June 1786.
Quite unfortunate that I don't have the exact date on which 'Parthasarathi Koil PO' was inaugurated. A search on Sulekha pages would reveal hundreds of them …………. Adambakkam PO; Adyar PO; Alandur PO; Alwarthirunagar PO; Ambattur PO; Aminjikarai PO; Annanagar PO; Annasalai PO; Mylapore PO; Mandaveli PO; Sholinganallur PO; Sowcarpet PO; T Nagar South PO; Tambaram PO; Taramani PO; Triplicane PO; West Mambalam PO ……….. simply there could be hundreds of post offices but to those residents of Triplicane – the building that housed Thiruvallikkeni Thapal Nilayam is a monument and many would have green stories kindling nostalgia.….the one that functioned at Big Street, Triplicane was known as 'Sri Parthasarathi Koil Post Office' ….. only one of its genre named not after the locality but after our presiding deity Sri Parthasarathi.
The building housing the Post Office in Big Street became dilapidated, was demolished and now has become a car park. The PO was later housed in a smaller, old building in Hanumantharayan Kovil Street off Kairavini Pushkarini, the temple tank. It certainly was not a proper accommodation ~ leaked during rainy days and after days of difficulty, moved to the premises of Triplicane PO in Triplicane High Road, functioning as a small unit.
People of Triplicane, including pensioners and others have been representing for revival of Sri Parthasarathi Swami Post Office and there have been various reports that the building in Car Street, newly built as staff quarters for Thirukoil staff was to have a Nationalised Bank in its first floor and the Post Office from the ground floor. Many representations have been made by the recipients and there has been news every now and then that it is pending with one Dept or the other.
Today 'The Hindu' Chennai edition carried this report, which truly represents the wishes of hundreds of Senior citizens of Thiruvallikkeni. Many thanks to the Hindu and its reporter for this nice report. The report is reproduced in its entirety below.
Eight months after a new building was allotted for the Parthasarathy Koil post office, residents of Triplicane are asking why the establishment has not yet begun operations here.

Nearly a hundred years old, this post office has a resonance among these residents, 1,260 of whom are part of a signature campaign that wants it to function in its new space. The signatories have now made a representation to the Chief Minister's cell.
Residents said the post office was patronised by nearly 25,000 people and that the establishment managed the savings accounts of around 1,000 people, most of them seniors. R. Viswanathan, a resident, said the post office had been functioning out of the Triplicane post office on Triplicane High Road for the last two years, for want of premises of its own. S. Rama Rao, another resident, said that most senior citizens who used the post office walked an additional 2 km to carry out transactions, due to this arrangement. "We have been waging a battle for the new post office on Car Street for nearly two years now," he said.
Residents said that though the postal department was prepared to pay the rent for the new building, which is owned by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department (HR and CE), a tussle between these two departments had delayed the process. The HR and CE department has demanded a deposit for the 506 sq.ft. premises, but the postal department has refused to pay the amount, saying this would amount to a violation of departmental rules, residents said.
T.J. Ramani, another resident, said that people of Triplicane also attempted to collect money to pay the deposit. But this initiative did not find favour with either department. Residents recalled that the post office got its name as it was first housed in a building owned by temple authorities on Big Street. In 2004, it was shifted to a building on Hanumantharayan Koil Street after the earlier structure became dilapidated. In 2010, the post office was once again shifted to the premises of the Triplicane post office.
In their petition, residents have requested the State government to ensure a relaxation on the payment of the deposit and inaugurate the post office as soon as possible.

Bishop captured this shot at the 1983 World Cup ski races on Aspen Mountainn even though Aspen Ski Corp. wouldn't give him a press pass. It was POWDER Magazine's action shot of the year.
A lot of Aspen tourists went home happy for more than 50 years thanks to the work of photographer Robert "Bob" Bishop.
Bishop was a postcard publisher who worked in several Colorado resort towns, but made Aspen his bread-and-butter market. He passed away last month in Grand Junction at age 96, according to his daughter Laura Bishop.
Bishop started making and selling postcards in the late 1950s. He moved his family from Denver to Grand Junction in 1969 so he could be closer to the resort towns, Laura said.
He had a knack for using his patience and knowledge to be in the right place at the right time — capturing the right light and getting the right angle for his shots.
"He would watch the weather and get to Aspen before the snowstorms struck," Laura said.
No matter how many pictures visitors took, many of them inevitably purchased Bishop's postcards because he always got the better shot. He did a masterful job of capturing iconic images of Aspen that visitors would send to friends to showcase their trip or take home as keepsakes.
Bishop remained at the helm of his business into the mid-2000s.
"He really had a passion for photography. That kept him going," Laura said.
His postcards remain available through Robert C. Bishop Photography LLC at Carl's Pharmacy, Sandy's Office Supply and the Mountain Chalet.
In a documentary made about Bishop and his work before his death, "Wish You Were Here, the Extraordinary Postcards of the American West by Robert C. Bishop," he said capturing images that included water and the color red were sure to produce successful postcards. Little wonder, then, that he sold so many shots of the Maroon Bells.
"I don't think he ever got sick of the Maroon Bells," Laura said.
In the documentary, which Aspen filmmaker Greg Poschman assisted in, Bishop told the story of how he couldn't get the Aspen Skiing Corp. to give him a press pass for the 1983 World Cup ski races in Aspen. Bishop got up the hill on his own and was in perfect position to capture the image of a racer from Japan sailing through the air, wrapped in a gate from the racecourse. The shot won best action photo of the year from POWDER Magazine.
Bishop also disclosed in the documentary that he always tried to get good shots of the main intersections of the Colorado resort towns. Those were the perspectives that would capture the attention of tourists because it was familiar to them.
Jerry Hennen, a friend of Bishop's for more than 55 years, said Bishop took a liking to the mountains of Colorado as a youngster even though he was an Iowa boy. His love of the outdoors led to an interest in photography.
Bishop served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and took art, design and architecture classes at Stanford University in 1950-51. He took workshops led by famed photographers Ansel Adams and Minor White. That led to an assignment to photograph a prestigious photography conference organized by Ferenc Berko in Aspen in 1951 at the Hotel Jerome. Bishop was inspired to move to Colorado and start his postcard business later that decade.
"He was fun. His work looked all serious but he liked to have a good time," Hennen said of Bishop.
Laura said her dad made a lot of friends in Aspen over the years. Aspen Times columnist Tim Willoughby wrote about Bishop in June 2009 and said Aspen became his flagship location for his postcard business. Laura concurred.
"He had more sales of postcards in Aspen than Steamboat or Vail," she said.
His wife, Norma, preceded Bob in death in 2016. A memorial service was held earlier in October in Grand Junction. Memorial contributions can be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 2232 N. Seventh St., Grand Junction, CO 81501 or Western Colorado Center for the Arts, 1803 N. Seventh St., Grand Junction, CO 81501. Reference Robert Bishop with donations.

I could not wait to do this look because I am the worlds number 1 Barbie fan! Since I was a child I have been addicted to Barbie. I even went Tesco with my mum the other day and saw the Barbie dolls on the shelf and pointed to them and my mum just looked at me and said at your age of 26, a mother and a wife you STILL want Barbie dolls! I actually nodded! I was privileged to create this look because its playful, fun, girly and so cute! I have not recreated a Barbie look before and although it was just for the challenge I do plan on filming it. My grey contact also snatched this look hunny!
