The AIRE Kayak Outfitter II inflatable kayaks came out in 2009, adding a fifth choice to their existing Lynx II, Super Lynx, Tomcat 2, and Strike II models. All AIRE and Tributary kayaks on our site include a 5% credit for UPS and/or any accessories. You can save a bit more on the boat by paying with cashier's checks, so if you wish to go that way send us your goodies list and your zip code and we will get you a quote. All shipping on kayaks is UPS ground unless you tell us otherwise, or unless you live in Alaska or Hawaii.
Any accessories purchased with your AIRE Kayak Outfitter II Inflatable Kayaks are 10% off, but please note that our shopping cart as yet does NOT reflect these discounts – it will show a higher total so we will adjust the bottom line before ringing the transaction through.
If some of the measurements you see here vary (see bottom) from what AIRE's website or catalog lists for the two person Outfitter, it's because we are going by the ones we've measured here.
This AIRE Kayak Outfitter II Inflatable Kayaks model looks far more odd than you can tell from AIRE's photos. As the name implies, it was geared toward the commercial outfitters who provide "duckies" for their clients to use on the rivers they operate from. As a general rule, those clients will be happiest if they do not take unintended swims in the big rapids. The simplest way to prevent this on tag-along trips is to make sure the inflatable kayak they are paddling is as stable as possible. The way to make a boat stable is with a wide hull and a deep seating position. All of AIRE's other models are either very shallow (the Lynx's, the Force series, the Super Lynx) or somewhat shallow (like the Strikes and Tomcat II).
The preceding may make the tandem Outfitter sound like something a private boater wouldn't want to buy, and we do not mean to give that impression. Of the four true AIRE & Tributary tandem whitewater models (Strike 2, Lynx II, Tomcat II, and the "O-2", the Super Lynx withstanding since it is more a hybrid than solely a river boat), the Outfitter II has emerged firmly as our best selling model, and every buyer we've talked with after the sale has been delighted with this boat. All deep inflatable kayaks like this one do require you to raise your elbows a bit higher when paddling, but other than that minor comment the feedback for this boat has so far been 100% positive – something we cannot say about the Lynx tandem or any other boat in this section of our site.
The Outfitter tandem and solo's are geared toward the Hyside Padillac market, perhaps a bit shamelessly, but one thing AIRE really improved over the Hyside is the profile of the Outfitter's underside. Unlike the Padillac, it is nearly pancake-flat. This makes the boat float higher, increases payload, and makes it far less prone to hanging up on rocks or getting messed with by eddy currents. The Outfitter II is also faster than the Padillac, about the same as a Lynx II, and just a tad slower than the Strike II. If you compared it to a Strike II with 450 pounds on board though, the Outfitter tandem would definitely be quicker.
The tandem Outfitters we have measured are 40″ wide (an inch less than AIRE shows), 12'4″ long, 46 pounds, with 12-1/2″ tubes, and they hold about 525 pounds This is the highest payload of any tandem whitewater IK under 13′. We know that Sea Eagle shows some very high figures for their 380 and 420 models, but they only hold these weights if the bail plugs are closed. In self-bailing mode they have fairly low capacities.
The AIRE Kayak Outfitter II Inflatable Kayaks tandem is the same price as the Lynx II – but it does have nicer lift handles, bigger bras, and a big towing D-ring on the bow not found on the Lynx II. With your $75 UPS/accessory allowance, shipping will be free to any lower 48 State destination. If there is change left over (and for most delivery addresses there will be) we will either give you back the difference or put it toward any other items you order with the boat. These are available in the same five colors as all the other U.S. made AIRE kayaks- red, dark green, orange, yellow, light blue, and if you can wait a while, dark purple may also be available. Check to be sure.


Now that Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, it's time to think about swimwear. The great thing about shopping for bathing suits is that you know you'll be wearing it somewhere awesome (your next vacay, the beach, the pool, your BFF's BBQ, etc.). The not-so-great thing about shopping for bathing suits is that everything is always exactly the same. Can we get a little mix-up with our triangle tops, bandeau bikinis and cut-out one-pieces, please? Well, it looks like this season has a new style making its way into your two-piece selection: the crop top bikini.
It's literally a crop top, with either short or off-the-shoulder sleeves, that's waterproof. We love this idea because it's for those that will want to bare their midriff without sacrificing proper support or coverage. Plus, you can wear your short or off-the-shoulder sleeves bikini even if you're not hitting the water. It'll still do the trick as a fun top for the summer. Wear it alone with a pair of shorts or under mesh/lace maxi dresses or tops.
Don't forget to check out more trends: diamond X rings, kimonos, and laser-cut shoes.

Q: script to read certain key words in a document I have a list of 50 folders. Inside every folder I have a text file contain key words and this file has the same name in all the folders but it has different values.
How can a script read a certain key words inside those text files and save (collect)  those result in a new file?
    folder A
       text.file (inside it key words let us say Abc=1 Def=2 Ghi=3 )
    folder b
       text.file(inside it key words let us say Abc=5 Def=1 Ghi=4 )
    folder c
       text.file(inside it key words let us say Abc=11 Def=12 Ghi=32 )
    folder d
       text.file(inside it key words let us say Abc=11 Def=27 Ghi=34 )
    folder e
       text.file(inside it key words let us say Abc=16 Def=12 Ghi=22 )
    folder f
       text.file(inside it key words let us say Abc=3 Def=2 Ghi=1)
    .
    .
    .
    .
    folder N

The key words are sorted in the text file as the following (and this sort for the key words is the same in all the files included in the 50 folder)
    Abc= value
    Def= value
    Ghi= value

For example: I need the script to read the key word "Abc" in all the files and save the output (i.e. collect the values for the key word "Abc" separably in a new file) as a text file contain just the "Abc" values from all the folders as the following:
Abc=1
Abc=5
Abc=11
Abc=11
Abc=16
Abc=3

A: If all key words are sorted in the text.file as the following (and this sort for the key words is the same in all the files included in the 50 folder)
Abc= value
Def= value
Ghi= value

Then you can read each first line head -n 1 filename of them into for loop and write it in new file like below:
$ for file in ~/Parent_dir/Folder*/*; do  head -n 1 $file; done
 Abc=1
 Abc=5
 Abc=11
 Abc=11
 Abc=16
 Abc=3

Your script will be look like above:
for file in ~/Parent_dir/Folder*/*; do
    head -n 1 $file;
done > newfile

Interview: To All the Boys I've Loved Before's Madeleine Arthur
written by Charles Trapunski August 17, 2018
Perhaps you have seen the fascinating Madeleine Arthur in the film Big Eyes, playing the daughter of Amy Adams. Yes, her character was the inspiration behind the Big Eyes portraits, as her distinctive look makes her such a fan favorite. Or perhaps you have seen her as Fray (short for Frail Human) on The Magicians, though it was pure coincidence that we recently spoke with Summer Bishil with whom she shares many scenes.
If you're a fan of Madeleine Arthur's (as we are), you should check out her performance in Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before, in which her portrayal of the protagonist's best friend Chris is different from much of her previous work.
We spoke to the Vancouver-born actress by phone from New York, where she was participating in an acting workshop, and the following is a condensed and edited version of our interview.
Brief Take: What was your process of coming to this material?
Madeleine Arthur: Well I read the book, of course, before we started filming. For me, I never really played a character who is as fun-loving and as carefree as Chris. So I really enjoyed accessing those parts of myself and trying my best to make sure that I really followed the book in order to do justice to it and the way that Jenny (Han) described Chris. She's edgier than myself and the foil to Lara Jean (played by Lana Condor), so it's a little bit of sugar and spice in the relationship. To find the way that Chris, in the movie, supports her through her kind of different, edgier attitude and finding that opportunity was fun for me because I had never really had the opportunity to play somebody like that before.
BT: Prior to filming, did you know anybody in the production?
MA: I met Emilija (Baranac), who plays my cousin Gen in the film, a few years prior to shooting at a comedy class. We had been doing this movement exercise together in front of the class as an example of sorts, and everyone thought that we worked so well together and that we could play sisters. [laughs] Little did we know that two or three years later we would be playing cousins! So that worked out very well. [laughs] I had met John Corbett before, who is not from Vancouver, but I met him at an event for a film I did and we actually talked for a bit.
BT: Did you welcome the non-Vancouverites and make them feel at home?
MA: Yes, we really bonded. We lucked out. We would hang out on the weekends, we would go to this oyster bar, and one day Emilija (Baranac), Anna (Cathcart), Lana (Condor) and I went to Science World, and we walked along Olympic Village to try to give them a view of the city. Then we did Granville Island, so we tried to show them a good time on the town. [laughs]
BT: Did you enjoy wearing the costumes in the film?
MA: I did! I absolutely loved wearing the costumes and they really helped me step into a different character. Someone who is different from yourself, so Chris, she wears fishnets, and boots and shorts with the fishnets, and she has heavy eye makeup, and sometimes she has this hat. For me, this definitely helped to step into her zone because I am more of a "classic with a twist" style, natural makeup, so having that really allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, which was so much fun. I really enjoyed doing that. The costumes were great and Rafaella Rabinovich did a fantastic job of putting them together.
BT: What do you take with you from this role?
MA: I feel like a lesson from Chris is to take a chance, to step out of your comfort zone, to take risks, to embrace life, and good risks, safe risks. [laughs] Embrace life and all it has to offer and always support your friends, whatever they are going through. Some of those things I already knew before I played Chris, [laughs] but that's kind of what she represents is this joie de vivre.
BT: Do you stream on Netflix?
MA: I do! I'm staying in a hotel right now and I have Netflix on the TV, which is amazing, so I've been using that. I love Netflix as a platform! I love a lot of their original content, their TV shows, like The Get Down and Bloodline, and their movies as well. So I hope that people come across it in that search bar! Doesn't it go "trending now"? Hopefully it's a "trending now" movie! [laughs] I'm sure it will be.
BT: What was your experience like as Fray on The Magicians?
MA: It's just a fantastic, witty show and my experience, honestly, the whole thing for me was like summer camp. I was so excited about being a part of it. [laughs] When I first booked it, people would say to me "what are you doing?" and I would say "I am doing The Magicians" and then I would say "we're filming on a boat and I'm on a boat", and I was so excited about filming on a boat. [laughs] Besides that, the writing is so good, the cast is wonderful, the crew is wonderful, the costumes by Magali Guidasciare are incredible; you do not get to wear costumes like that ever. The interior of the Muntjac is just so gorgeous, then you work with animals and, as you could tell, the whole thing was very exciting and thrilling to me. Hale (Appleman) and Brittany (Curran), who play my parents, are just the most wonderful people and they really feel like parents in real life, well maybe older siblings, and I was so lucky to hit it off with them. They welcomed me with open arms, even though I was only there for a few episodes, and they are people I can always call upon or text if I want acting advice or life advice. We even had Thanksgiving together, so it's a good group.
BT: What did you take with you from Big Eyes?
MA: Oooh! That experience was an overall magical experience and everyone who was a part of it are all such geniuses. I got to work with actors I could have only dreamed of working with and look up to immensely, and a director who is one of my favourite directors on the planet! [laughs] So I tried to learn from everyone, and I think that I've said this before, but Christoph Waltz gave me some amazing advice: to not just be an actress; to seek out learning about other things. And I took with me the work ethic that Amy (Adams) has and the kindness she displays to everyone. She's just an exemplary human being! [laughs] Tim Burton was so kind as well. Every aspect of it was so special. I did visit the Keane Gallery in San Francisco after filming and I did get a few prints. I have one that's hanging as the centrepiece in my room and we have another one in my dining room.
BT: Could you tell me a bit about your charity work?
MA: I'm passionate about elephants, Say No to Ivory. I think it's really important. They're such beautiful creatures and I would hate to see them extinct. I think that the way to stop extinction is to educate people about ivory and why you shouldn't have an ivory sculpture in your home, for example. It's definitely something that is dear to my heart. I saw elephants when I went to South Africa when I was nine and I fell in love with them, and it goes for other animals that are being poached as well, but elephants are definitely close to my heart.

As the accounting landscape changes we wanted to highlight what this means for the accounting profession, what this means for you and what the future of accountancy looks like.
The profession is set to see a sizeable shift in how processes are done with the introduction of Making Tax Digital. For many it's driving a quantum shift in how businesses manage their finances. For accountants a shift from traditional practices and systems, towards advisory services and cloud accounting software.
A recent survey by AAT identified three drivers of change affecting the future of accountancy. These will probably come as no surprise, these three things that will affect the future of accountancy: Automation; The Cloud; Software. Adopting softwares and moving from traditional accountancy tasks allows us time to help clients navigate the changes in legislation, guide clients through the complex world of tax along with training and set-up and assistance in adopting cloud softwares and changes in technology themselves.
The basic accounting processes will be fully automated within the next five years, generating a positive impact on the profession. Advancements in technology make for an exciting future for accountancy. These developments in technology create new opportunities for us and for you, there's scope to learn new skills and build relationships as your trusted business advisors.
We've begun the process of adapting to the changes. Our services will adapt, our skills developing and the new technologies will help us serve your business needs even better.
Throughout this transitioning time, we strive to ensure our qualifications and knowledge is at the top of the game and that we're bringing you the tools for business success, from maintaining skills that have always been present in accounting or learning and developing new skills as the profession progresses.
So advances in technology giving you real-time information you need to make business decisions and giving us more time to focus on helping and advising you the future of accountancy looks bright! We're looking forward to what the future of accountancy holds and how we can really utilise technology to analyse your figures and provide advice for your future and your growth.

Pakistan heading towards dictatorship and fascism
I've known for a long time that Imran Khan is a born dictator. So it shouldn't surprise us that he cannot tolerate dissent. His henchmen sing his praises every day, whether it's for the weather or for any imaginary success of his government. I suspect that one of his staff members has nothing to do but keep a record of what good his ministers and advisors say about him, apart from blaming the opposition for bad weather and all the country's problems.
But now Imran seems to be really desperate. Journalists have been warned not to criticize his government. International journalists have already noted how the twitter accounts of some prominent critics were suspended, and how TV interviews of some opposition figures were cancelled. His finance minister Hammad Azhar got incensed when a news channel reported that he had paid practically no tax for the past five years. He got a state institution (PEMRA) to impose a penalty on HUM channel for doing this. Then the interior minister threatened to break the legs of airport staff if they didn't provide him an air conditioned vehicle to take him from the lounge to the aircraft.
All these are signs for those who have minds. Imran Khan must have been fourteen or fifteen when the riots against another dictator broke out and he had to resign in disgrace. He should learn from the past and learn to tolerate criticism. But knowing he's not much different from your average Pakistani, I doubt if he will.

Wild Smiles "Always Tomorrow" Album Review
October 11, 2014 · by thesoulofaclown	· in Album review.	·
Wild Smiles "Always Tomorrow"
One of the biggest surprises about Wild Smiles is that this fast rising trio actually come from Winchester. The sound they have created on this excellent debut certainly recalls influences from far wider, and let's face it, more rock n roll towns! Following a single and EP release the band have ensured that they have delivered an album that they can be truly proud of. This goes for both the tunes and the lyrics which show a depth that many new bands fail to reach.
It's the title track which begins the album and is a neat little pop song which is almost like a Beach Boys song being performed by The Ramones, which is a pretty cool way to open any album! "The Best Few Years" and "Fool For You" see the band almost have a power pop vibe but smuggled in under the grunge of a surf song.
"Everyone's The Same" opens up with an absolutely brilliant Spector esque drum beat before it moves on to a slower song which is reminiscent of The Vaccines. In contrast, "Figure It Out" is an up and at them fighting song which sees an appreciation of the Ramones' simplistic, but effective, rock n' roll coming through.
You can certainly see why "Girlfriend" was chosen as a single from the album as it's a good demonstration of the band's ability to deliver a catchy tune but disguised by a raucous indie band beat. "The Gun" and "Hold On" see them shifting decade and influences again with the first of these being a song that could easily be from a great sixties garage rock band. Whilst "Hold On" has an almost glam rock feel to go with the overall garage sound, before you hit a mid-song break that recalls The Stooges.
"Never Wanted This" opens up a bit like a long lost Nirvana track, another band who weren't afraid of adding a bit of commercial sense to their alternative sound. The album ends on an upbeat song called "See You Again" which has a joyous surf pop/garage sound to provide a fitting finale.
If you remember when The Vaccines first hit the scene, they were promised to finally be the indie band who knew a bit about real rock n roll. Sadly, they never lived up to the hype and it was all a bit dull and disappointing. Thankfully, Wild Smiles could actually be that band. They're a band who have clearly been influenced by some classic, right through from The Beach Boys, to the Ramones and on to Nirvana. They have, however, avoided the mistake as just coming across as derivative but instead have given it all their own twist. A few years back bands like The Vaccines, Tribes and Howler were getting a huge amount of main stream press for delivering a similar sound but with inferior songs than we find on this album. Let's hope that with "Always Tomorrow" we will see The Wild Smiles get that level of recognition, because they definitely deserve it.

Hydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HnPAHs) as catalysts for hydrogenation reactions in the interstellar medium: a quantum chemical model

The sticking of H atoms onto dust grains and large hydrocarbon molecules has received considerable attention because it is thought to govern the formation of H2 and other H-containing molecules in the interstellar medium. Using the density functional theory (DFT) approximation, we have investigated the capacity of neutral hydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HnPAH) to catalyze simple hydrogenation reactions by acting as a source of atomic hydrogen. In particular, the interaction of OH and CO with H1-anthracene (singly hydrogenated) and H14-anthracene (fully hydrogenated) to form H2O and HCO was modeled following the Eley–Rideal mechanism. In this process, a hydrogen atom is abstracted from the HnPAH molecule forming the corresponding hydrogenated compound. The results were compared to the most known case of the HnPAH-catalyzed formation of H2. It was observed that whereas H2 is formed by overcoming activation barriers of approximately 0.02 and 0.10 eV with H1-anthracene and H14-anthracene, respectively, H2O is produced in a barrierless fashion with both hydrocarbon molecules. The production of HCO was found to be a highly unfavorable process (with activation barriers of 0.73 eV and 3.13 eV for H1- and H14-anthracene, respectively). Complementary calculations performed using the rest of the Hn-anthracene molecules (from 2 to 13 extra H atoms) showed that in all the cases the reaction with OH is barrierless as well. This efficient mechanism could therefore be a possible route for water formation in the cold interstellar medium.

Paranormal beats Contagion in UK; Kevin starts strong
By Andreas Wiseman2011-10-24T20:28:00+01:00
Horror debuts on healthy $5.4m (£3.4m) as Johnny English slips to second; We Need To Talk About Kevin impresses for Artificial Eye.
Paramount's Paranormal Activity 3 debuted on $5.4m (£3.4m) from 390 sites at an impressive average of $13,807 (£8,709) last weekend in the UK. $563,148 (£351,938) came from 390 previews.
The franchise is still a big draw for UK audiences, profiting from good reviews and canny marketing campaigns and will benefit from Halloween next weekend.
Paramount must be delighted with the continued (global) bankabilty of this low-budget series, but its star may be ever so slightly on the wane with audiences in the UK. The 2009 original opened on $5.6m (£3.5m) from 394 sites on its way to $15.8m (£9.9m), spending six weeks in the top 15 films, while last year's sequel debuted on $6.1m (£3.8m) from 389 sites and ended on $17.4m (£10.9m).
Universal's Johnny English Reborn made a healthy $3.3m (£2.1m) from a week-high 552 screens at an average of $5,894 (£3,718) in its third week. However, it too was not performing as well as the franchise original in its equivalent week. Johnny English grossed $3.7m (£2.3m) from 447 screens for $21.9m (£13.7m) cumulative in its third week at number one in 2003.
The sequel's running total stands at $20.4m (£12.9m).
Warner thriller Contagion debuted in third on $2.3m (£1.5m) from 398 screens, an underwhelming performance from a Steven Soderbergh film exuding star-power and decent reviews. In saying that, it was the director's best result since Ocean's 13 in 2007.
Real Steel and The Three Musketeers dropped to fifth and sixth respectively, while Lynne Ramsay's We Need To Talk About Kevin opened impressively for Artificial Eye on $780,488 (£492,297) from 111 screens for the week's second-best average of $7,095 (£4,475). $52,297 (£32,687) came from previews.
Fox comedy Monte Carlo was a palpable miss, managing only $523,981 (£327,469) from 330 screens at an average of $1,152 (£720).
In an intriguingly competitive Halloween weekend, this coming frame sees saturation releases for Paramount's Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn, Sony's Anonymous, Disney's The Help, eOne's The Ides Of March as well as wide releases for Exile Films' Demons Never Die and Revolver's Sket.
Title: We Need To Talk About Kevin
Distributor: Artificial Eye
The unprecedented nature of the year created another significant metric: the March 20-December 31 post lockdown chart.
Local releases such as war epic 'The Eight Hundred' spurred it on.
International box office for French films fell 70% in 2020
Top exports included Portrait Of A Lady On Fire , An Officer And A Spy and Les Misérables.

Monday was the Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada, and that means a 4-day work week! :) Combined with a sick day at home, I worked for only three. Then why is it that this week feels about 6 weeks long?!
Woo hoo!! Who doesn't love a holiday on a Monday?! I spent time with family, got some creating done, did some laundry, and had a lovely supper with my hubby!
I finally finished my initial reading assessments today!! Home reading is now underway and I can finally get into my Daily 5 program! Last year, The Daily 5 was one of my favorite parts of my day. I loved listening to my students read, providing them with strategies and watching their skills absolutely take off!! Having two of last year's students, I am excited to watch them continue to progress as readers!
I have the activity choices written on the large cubes, and the student names written on the small ones. As I get initial assessments completed and have more obvious needs jump out, I will create groups that will rotate through the activities together.
The first of my Guided Math centers is published and available. My Basic Addition and Subtraction Centers includes four activities for each of the stations (except Teacher's Choice!).
This includes work with fact families (adorable Melonheadz families, that is!), comparing sums and differences, "Spend It" - a menu activity, and a color by sum or difference page!
This includes four activities involving dice, dominoes and cut-and-paste matching tasks!
My students are so engaged and I'm gathering such informative data! Awesome!! I now have my second unit, Data Management & Graphing, finished as well and I'm so excited to share it with you!
Today was my first sick day of the year. Not awesome. It was a rainy morning, perfect for snuggling back under the covers. Awesome. Being away from school is a lot of work... plans take forever. Not awesome. My hubby is retired now and took great care of me all day. Awesome!
Thanks to this little one for sending me to Punta Cana for the day. That WOULD be "the life"!!
I just loved this picture!
I promise I was NOT at a bar in Toronto!!
The most awesome part of today is that it is Friday and it is over. Let's just say that I sure didn't find my room in the state I left it on Wednesday. The mess was ridiculous, things were ruined or misplaced, and that's really hard for this organized girl to take. Add indoor recess into the mix today and you can probably feel my pain.
I hope you're feeling better, Erin! I wish I would have been able to come in for you. Too bad it doesn't work that way.
Thanks, Emily! I sure wish I could have called you to be in for me!! :) Hope you've been busy!
You have an awesome weekend, too!!

Q: Getting started with denoising elements of a 200x200 numpy array I have a 200x200 numpy array that has a shape in it which I can see when I graph it using matplotlib's imshow() function. However, there is also a lot of noise added in that picture. I am trying to use openCV to emphasize the shape and denoise the image. But it keeps throwing error messages that I don't understand. What should I do to get started on the denoising problem. The shape is visible to me as I see it but extra noise was added using the np.random.randint() function on top of the image. I want to reduce that noise

A: Here are some tutorials about image denoising techniques available in opencv.
Blurring out the noise
The most basic is applying a blur to average out the random noise. This will have the negative effect that the edges in the image will not be as sharp as originally. Depending on your application, this might be fine. Depending on the amount of noise, you can chance the size of the filter k. A larger value will produce a blurrier image with less noise.
k = 5
filtered_image = cv.blur(img,(k,k))

Advanced denoising
Alternatively, you can use more advanced techniques such as Non-local Means Denoising. This applies averaging across similar patches in the image. This technique has a few more parameters to tune to your specific application which you can read about here. (There are different versions of this function for greyscale and colour images, as well as for image sequences).
luminosity_filter_strength = 10
colour_filter_strength = 10
template_window_size = 7
search_window_size = 21
filtered_image = cv.fastNlMeansDenoisingColored(img,
        luminosity_filter_strength,
        colour_filter_strength,
        template_window_size,
        search_window_size)

A: I solved the problem using Scikit Image. They have very accessible documentation page for new comers and the error messages are a lot easier to understand. As for my problem I had to use Scikit Image's restoration library which has a lot of denoising functions much like openCV however the examples and the easy to understand error messages really helped. Playing around with Bilateral filters and Non-local Means Denoising solved the problem for me.

The Cassini probe finally said goodbye in 2017, when it ran out of fuel and plunged into Saturn's atmosphere. But data from the probe continues to be analyzed, and new findings about Saturn are still emerging. Recently, research has focused on Saturn's rings, with scientists discovering that they were formed in the relatively recent past.
Now a new study has investigated some of Saturn's tiny far-flung moons and the way that they interact with the rings. Five moons — Daphnis, Pan, Atlas, Epimetheus, and Pandora — are nestled snugly at the edge of the rings, and data collected from a close fly-by of Cassini shows they are covered in dust and ice from the rings.
The surface of these moons is highly porous, which supports the theory that they were formed from the gradual accumulation of material that was layered on top of a dense core. Due to the porousness of the moons, they are not spherical — instead, NASA describes them as "blobby and ravioli-like" with more material accumulated around their equators than at their poles.

Islamists lose Benghazi district to Haftar's forces
Jihadist fighters in Libya have lost one of their last remaining strongholds in the country's second city.
Forces loyal to the military leader, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, said they had driven local Islamist militias out of the Ganfouda district of Benghazi.
The area had been under siege for months and saw some of the worst fighting over control of the city.
Some fighters were affiliated to the Islamic State group or Al Qaeda.
The besieged district, nine miles west of the city centre, has been largely cut-off from the rest of Benghazi in blockades setup by Field Marshal Haftar's forces.
His forces are not being recognised by Libya's UN-backed government.
The spokesman for Field Marshal Haftar's forces – known as the Eastern Libyan Army – said they had freed the neighbourhood, but some militants had fled to a nearby area known as the "12 blocks".
'High cost'
The BBC's North Africa correspondent, Rana Jawad, said if it holds, the fall of Ganfouda district would be considered "a significant gain" for the forces, but locals had been hit hard.
"More than two years of fighting in Libya's second largest city has come at a high cost," she said.
"It has been deadly and it has internally displaced thousands of people."
Residents told the BBC that Islamist militias still control some parts of central Benghazi, though there have been no clashes there recently.
String of setbacks
Libya's unrest since the 2011 ousting of Muammar Gaddafi saw extremist organisations, including the Islamic State group, gain a foothold in the country.
Field Marshal Haftar's forces and rival fighters loyal to the UN-backed Tripoli-based government inflicted a string of setbacks on the jihadists.
But the jihadists still control the central Benghazi districts of Al-Saberi and Souq al-Hout, according to Field Marshal Haftar's forces.

Girl Scouts in Colorado have begun incorporating marijuana into their cookies in an effort to boost sales.
According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, Sara Little of Boulder has sold more than $50,000 of marijuana-infused Thin Mint cookies in the last seven days and is on track to do more than $700,000 in sales this season.
"It wasn't all me," she tells the paper. "My parents helped out with buying the weed and helping with all the proper paperwork to ensure we weren't breaking any Colorado laws. I ran the business side though.
"I realized that with marijuana I could create a self-sustaining source of demand. Coca-Cola adds salt to their product to make people thirstier. Why not add cannabis to make people hungrier?
Girl Scouts in several states have recently attracted media attention for selling their cookies outside marijuana dispensaries. Although those girls were simply hoping to cash in on the drug's ability to boost appetites, Ms. Little decided to take things a step further.
"These cookies, naturally, are terrible," she explained. "They taste like cardboard and sand. There is a cult following but I wanted to expand our market to people who enjoy good cookies.

I take a graphic into gimp (so one layer), and canvas and layer size match. Then I do a transformation on the graphic (in this case filters->distorts->curve-bend), that results in it going beyond the layer/canvas size.
I've tried the layer to boundary size command to increase the size of the layer as desired to fit the new larger graphic size, but it seems to have no effect (? because the layer size can't go beyond the canvas size?).
Since I have a bunch of graphics to process, I'd like to find/use a command to automatically set the canvas size to the new graphic transformed size. Is this possible to do?
If not, does GIMP do macros, and is there a macro command that can be easily built?
Layers can be bigger than the Canvas(*). To enlarge the canvas to fit existing layers use (tadaaaa....) Image>Fit canvas to layers.
(*) Not that the selection is always clipped to the canvas, so if you have Select>All, changes on a larger layer will only apply inside the canvas "porthole", while with Select>None changes will apply to the whole layer.

NPR Interview Transcript
Profile: General Pencil survives low-cost competition by adapting and changing focus
June 30, 2005 from Morning Edition
RENEE MONTAGNE, host: Time now for business news.
(Soundbite of theme music)
MONTAGNE: There is a great deal of fear about the future of American manufacturing because of lower cost competitors from abroad, which brings up the question: What kind of American manufacturer is doing well these days? NPR's Adam Davidson found one company that's found a way to compete.
ADAM DAVIDSON reporting:
At first glance, it makes no sense at all that General Pencil is still in business. They make pencils, a cheap commodity, just the sort of thing the Chinese companies can make for a lot less money. In fact, most US pencil-makers have gone out of business. But General Pencil is doing fine. That's what Jim Weissenborn, the company's owner, says as he shows off some old photos at the entrance to his factory in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Mr. JIM WEISSENBORN (Owner, General Pencil): We are looking at the great-great grandfather and started the first lead pencil company in Jersey City Heights back in 1864.
DAVIDSON: They're still making pencils much the same way they did a hundred years ago, in the basement of the factory.
(Soundbite of machinery)
Mr. WEISSENBORN: Hang on, we're going down.
DAVIDSON: The basement is just amazing. It's like stepping into the 19th century. This is where they make what most people think is lead, the black graphite sticks in the center of a pencil. It starts with several massive, black, greasy machines. Weissenborn's grandfather bought them in 1910. Each is about the size of a minivan and they spin around.
Mr. WEISSENBORN: These are called ball mills. There's stones in there off the Belgian coast. We put graphite and clay and pulverize them for 24 hours. This is what makes the produce much better. It's not mass-produced.
DAVIDSON: The workers down here use old Weissenborn family recipes, different ratios of clay and graphite for different kinds of pencils. After being pulverized, water is added and the mixture is kneaded like dough in something that looks like an old wine press. The wet graphite paste then goes into a sort of an industrial pasta-maker, which extrudes long, thin pencil leads. They're cut to size, then baked hard in a kiln. The leads are then taken upstairs where they go into wood which is shaped, painted and turned into what what we'd recognize as a pencil.
Almost all of the machinery is nearly a hundred years old and the whole process is fascinating, but it also seems a bit crazy to still make pencils this way. It's so inefficient. In China, or in other US companies, new machines make pencils much faster and much cheaper.
By the mid-1990s, the Weissenborns knew they had a problem. Katie Vanoncini is Jim Weissenborn's daughter. She's expected to take over the company.
Ms. KATIE VANONCINI (General Pencil): At that point, it was very scary. It would just come up: You know, what kind of future does General Pencil have?
DAVIDSON: General's main business was those yellow #2 pencils. They sold them by the tens of thousands to schools and stationery stores. But 10 years ago they started losing market share quickly. A finished Chinese pencil cost less than the Weissenborn's raw materials. Vanoncini was confident their products were better but nobody seemed to care.
Ms. VANONCINI: A lot of the yellow pencils were just a throwaway item, and so it didn't really matter how well they worked. As long as they made some marks for a couple hours for a meeting or something, people would just throw away their yellow pencils.
DAVIDSON: General couldn't keep up. Weissenborn had to fire more than half the staff. There was little hope that the business could survive. Nobody remembers who came up with the idea, but by 1997, the Weissenborns decided to drop their biggest line. They almost completely stopped making those yellow #2 pencils.
DAVIDSON: They realized their century-old techniques produced higher-quality pencils. They just needed to market their products to people who actually cared about quality. They started focusing the business on producing pencils for artists and art students. Now their pencils sell for a dollar each rather than a dollar a dozen. They invested in a machine known as a shaker which sorts pencils to create sets that fit almost any market. A little over a week ago, one customer, an art supply store, told General they were having a hard time selling large pencil sets.
Mr. WEISSENBORN: They wanted a smaller set of the same thing. They wanted some of the graphics changed. They wanted added value put to it. So we put the added value, we changed the packaging, presented it to them, all within a couple of days. And they said, 'Great,' and now it's a finished product. We're packing them right now. We'll take you out on the floor and you'll see this product being finished today.
DAVIDSON: General went from vague idea to finished and shipped product in a week. Weissenborn says that at any one time, he has 30 new products in development.
The General Pencil story is a familiar one to US manufacturers faced with stiff competition from abroad. Many American companies facing a crisis find they can survive by transforming a cheap commodity into a custom-made, higher-end good. Some make expensive, fancier soda bottles. Some make a better pencil. They typically ship fewer goods but make a lot more money on the ones they do sell.

Vulnerability as strength: Keenan's key to dismantling clericalism
by Tom Roberts
Keenan c.jpg
Jesuit Fr. James Keenan (Portuguese Province of Jesuits /João Ferrand)
Jesuit Fr. James Keenan really wants to turn the whole deal on its head. The highly regarded theologian, taking in the endless discussion of the priest sex abuse crisis, had one of those moments of recognition — of seeing the thing right in front of us that everyone else has been looking past in search of answers.
And here's what I perceive to be the bottom line, the ultimate question he raises out of that awareness: "Is the God we worship vulnerable?"
If that is the case, and he believes so, then he asks: "Why couldn't we develop an ecclesiology based on the risk-taking vulnerability of God?"
If that were to happen, we'd have a church that would look and act quite differently from the one we know today. Imagine the seminary recruitment brochure that highlighted vulnerability as a quality the institution treasured and hoped to develop in the men who applied.
Keenan is Canisius professor and director of the Jesuit Institute and of the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program in the theology department at Boston College. He is the rare "insider" to advance the conversation about sex abuse beyond the well-worn path of accountability issues already in place because of outside pressures on the clerical culture. His focus is on one of those elements that only the hierarchy itself can incorporate. No lawyer or review board or dicastery for accountability can force anyone to consider becoming vulnerable. The quality is, I believe, intrinsic to our sacramental tradition and as such is beyond the scope of law and institutional adjustments.
It is important to note, on this matter of vulnerability, that while it can not be mandated for individuals, Pope Francis recently initiated a reform — eliminating the papal secret — that will accomplish a certain institutional vulnerability. In short, there's no more hiding the truth. Whether that, in turn, causes a change in culture is quite another question.
In a previous Connections, I quoted a talk given by Thomas Doyle, an inactive priest who was one of the earliest clerical advocates for abuse victims. "The common element of causality" in the abuse crisis, he said in a speech delivered at Gonzaga University last October, "has been the role of the bishops and the inadequacy of the response."
At another point in that address, he said: "The horrific history of sexual violation and the systemic, destructive response, now out in the open, has acknowledged what the hierarchy does not want to face: The People of God and the Hierarchical Governmental structure are not one and the same, and the hierarchical structure we have lived with can hardly be blamed on Christ as its author."
Keenan, one of 58 Boston priests who in 2002 signed a letter calling for Cardinal Bernard Law's resignation, refines that insight, drawing a further distinction between ordinary clergy and hierarchy. He came upon the term "hierarchicalism" when he saw it used by Canadian moral theologian Mark Slatter, who described hierarchical culture as "the gold carrot for those predisposed to its allurements."
What those in the culture know well, says Keenan, (and what most of us in the pews are unaware of) "is that the formative pathways for future bishops are generally speaking different from those for average priests."
For instance, "future bishops" (most of them) don't study at the local regional seminaries. "Rather they are sent to Rome for theology and examined in Rome in a variety of ways." It is there where they first encounter "hierarchical 'allurements' that most priests do not receive: dinner with visiting bishops, meetings with other bishops, the possibility of being appointed the bishop's contact in Rome. Receiving the bishop's confidences. Being welcomed back whenever returning home. There's a 'grooming' that happens that's radically different from anything that happens to other seminarians. They are being selected for another club," writes Keenan.
A reciprocity exists between clericalism and hierarchicalism. He describes the latter as "brutal" and as "the exclusive power culture of the episcopacy."
Writes Keenan:
What we are only beginning to see is that hierarchicalism and its lack of accountability and ability to act with impunity will be harder to dismantle than clericalism and in fact will guarantee the survival of clericalism, for the former is the father and promoter of the second.
He proposes an alternative "culture of vulnerability" as a path to a "servant priesthood" and a "servant episcopacy."
"There is a profound graceful irony in this: for it is precisely vulnerability that our clerics and hierarchs ignored throughout this scandal."
Keenan cites T.H. White's The Once and Future King in which the human embryo is "the bearer of human vulnerability." It is a remarkable vision, says Keenan, "for behind this decision is the assumption that we are made in God's image and that if we are vulnerable, so is God."
He further cites Irish moral theologian Enda McDonagh's insight that God is revealed "as vulnerable by the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, his life in Nazareth, and by his death on Golgotha."
The scholarship he employs funnels the thought to the most important point: seeing vulnerability "not as a liability, but as something which establishes for us as human beings the possibility to be relational and therefore moral."
Keenan's distillation of the point is worth quoting at length:
Too many people think of vulnerability as a liability, an obstacle, a burden, a lack of capacity. They think that vulnerability means being wounded. But vulnerability means being able to be wounded, it means being exposed to the other, it means not being protected. … Vulnerability is allowing oneself to be at risk in response to others and should not be simply identified or confused with precariousness.
It is not possible, in a column, to do justice to the full scope of Keenan's paper or the scholarship that builds the case. That's why I encourage taking Keenan's entire paper, together with Doyle's Gonzaga talk, and considering them as perhaps the best foundation we might find for beginning the phase of the discussion about sex abuse that has remained out of reach.
There's a reason why Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta, widely regarded as one of the hierarchy's most knowledgeable and honest on this issue, asked Keenan to deliver the lecture to his priests and had it reprinted in the journal of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Malta. Keenan has also delivered the paper in Milan and at Oxford. He said an article on the concept will be published in the March issue of Theological Studies, and that same month he will be lecturing on the topic in Boston.
Keenan points out that Scicluna told him that all of the measures of accountability that have been enacted, certainly including the elimination of secrecy, are steps in vulnerability. The steps in accountability, all done in response to outside forces, have, indeed, made the church's structures vulnerable to an unprecedented degree.
But what about the persons, the individuals, especially those seduced by the "allurements" of privilege and power? Can the church alter both its preferences in those selected and the path to leadership? Can it alter what it means by leadership?
Spoiler alert — I move here to the very end of Keenan's paper because, having made the strong case, he returns to the central question. He sees "each offering, each proposal, each critique" delivered by the faithful as "a hope that our defensiveness and our guard come down and we become what we really are, vulnerable."
"If we let the vulnerability of our God enter into our seminaries and our chanceries," he speculates, "maybe we could put away some of those allurements that we already know are as banal as they are compromising."
He sees a collegial, church-wide coming to terms with "how precisely we should reform our seminaries, our chanceries and of course, the Vatican, but it will be by vulnerability and not by the smoke and mirrors of hierarchical domination that has already taken the life out of so many."

Q: c# Add Soundfile to Setup and direct to file path I want to create a SetupFile for my project. I have two sounds that I use... that's my current code (which works fine when I debug):
SoundPlayer clckSound = new SoundPlayer(@"C:\Users\My Name\Downloads\Button Push.wav");
SoundPlayer wonSound = new SoundPlayer(@"C:\Users\My Name\Downloads\Applause.wav");

Inside my Setup Project in the "Application Folder" I created another folder named "Assets" where I put the two sound files.
I tried it with the following code which didnt work.
SoundPlayer clckSound = new SoundPlayer(Application.StartupPath + "\\Assets\\Button Push.wav");
SoundPlayer wonSound = new SoundPlayer(Application.StartupPath + "\\Assets\\Applause.wav");

How do I specify the file path in my code so that the sounds get played properly after installation of the Setup file?
Thanks for your help!
