Snorkeling is fun, but being able to see the ocean floor when SCUBA diving is a surreal experience. Visually and physically, it feels like you are discovering another planet.
Despite fears of encountering hungry sea creatures, I ventured to Honolulu, Hawaii to learn to SCUBA. On the dive boat I became friendly with another student who was even more nervous than me– what a relief! Over the course of three days, I saw sea turtles, a reef shark, eels and many schools of fish.
Here are my tips for selecting and surviving a beginner SCUBA class. If you have a favorite diving spot or program, please share your tip by leaving a comment below!
In order to SCUBA safely and to rent equipment, you'll first need to obtain recreational diving certification.
Prior to your trip, you will need to choose a dive shop (or, "dive center") that is affiliated with a SCUBA certification agency, such as PADI or NAUI. I chose a PADI-affiliated dive center because they were the most abundant in Oahu, and I opted to take an e-learning course instead of DVD or in-person instruction. The PADI e-learning class ($130) took me about 10 hours to complete and has mandatory tests at the end of each section.
Once at your destination, you will arrive at your dive center for in-person lessons. The PADI Open Water Dive course typically spans 3 or 4 days (the duration depends on the center you've chosen; prices vary greatly). The first day is in confined water, which means you'll learn basics in a pool or in shallow water. The subsequent days are spent diving off of a boat. I chose Hawaii Diving Adventures in Honolulu because I could spend the first day in the ocean off of Waikiki beach, instead of in a pool, and the SCUBA equipment was included with the course fee. If you're very apprehensive about sharks or taking your face mask off underwater, you may want your first time using SCUBA to be in a pool.
>>Tip: Not interested in certification? Try "SNUBA"—a cross between snorkeling and SCUBA where you breathe from a hose.
Having been told by a certified diver to "always bring your own mask," I purchased one in Oahu for $80– but it wasn't any more effective than the rental mask. Like all new masks, the one I was using had a thick but invisible coating on it that needed to be taken off before using. It was a bit tedious to scrub it off with toothpaste. However, being wary of germs, I was glad that my nose was the only nose that had touched the mask. I also preferred using my own snorkel, which I brought from home. Any snorkel can be used when SCUBA diving; you'll use the snorkel when you are above water and want to conserve your air tank. (When it comes to purchasing the rest of your SCUBA gear, money and quality are more serious considerations).
>>Tip: You need to scrub the coating off a new snorkel mask!
When requesting a wetsuit, be sure to give the dive center accurate height and weight measurements to ensure fit. I overestimated my weight and underestimated my companion's., so both of our suits were ill-fitting and made us uncomfortable on the dive. While the water in Honolulu was warm (in the 70s), my teeth were chattering on the first day in the water thanks to a 3mm-thick rental wetsuit that was too large for me and allowed water to seep in. With such a thin suit, I was extremely cold underwater but felt fine on the sunny boat. On the second day of diving, I upgraded my suit to double the thickness; I was only marginally cold underwater, but very hot on the boat. I'm planning on buying my own wetsuit for next time, one that is 7mm, because I will likely be diving in water that is colder than Hawaii.
>>Tip: To stay warm underwater, wear a properly sized wetsuit.
Since I have a fair complexion, the sun ranks alongside sharks as one of my biggest fears. In between dives I coated my face with water-resistant 50+ SPF containing zinc oxide. I felt like a SCUBA mime with my face slathered in white paint and a black wetsuit. I neglected my ankles and hands; only applying lotion a few times to these forgotten areas resulted in an inevitable burn. A local dive shop had the solution: water gloves and a hood that covered my neck and hair. Turns out the hood was not only great for skin protection, but for keeping my long hair out of the way when maneuvering underwater and for staying warm.
>>Tip: A diving hood can prevent a farmer's tan and help you stay warm underwater.
People prone to motion sickness tend to feel less ill when they're close to the ocean floor than near the surface or resting on a rocky boat between dives. Don't let motion sickness stop you from learning to dive! I personally take 25mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride to combat motion sickness on the water.
>> Tip: The popular anti-nausea drug Dramamine contains diphenhydramine hydrochloride, the same active ingredient as Benedryl and Sominex tablets. Diphenhydramine is not advised for divers (or anyone) older than 60.
I had my second dive ever there in Hawaii and I gotta say that it's a diving paradise. Sure, there are lots of diving spots out there that are better and more beautiful than Hawaii's but Hawaii will forever have a soft spot in my heart because my boyfriend proposed to me underwater! It was amazing!
I really enjoyed Lauren's description of scuba diving! It was both funny and informative!
Mahalo for the write up. It's always fun to have new divers out on the boat. Can't wait till you guys come back.
I've only done snorkling, not scuba diving. Looks like a worthwhile thing to pursue!
Good tip on the wetsuit, as I would have never thought of that one on my own … cheers!


In his late 30s and into his 40s, Benjamin De Casseres really hit his stride as a writer. His collaborations with editors like Elbert Hubbard – who published Roycrofter periodicals such as The Fra, The Philistine and The Papyrus – and regular submissions to other magazines and journals like Camera Work, The International and Puck set up his turn in the middle of this decade to writing more regularly for various newspapers. In particular, he became an opiner and critic for all three of the big New York papers: The Sun, The Herald and The New York Times.
Creatively, De Casseres also continued to dabble in poetry during the decade. His first book of poetry, The Shadow-Eater, was published in 1915, and is a collection of pieces published in the early part of the decade, along with some previously unpublished items.
In 1914, De Casseres' first (and apparently only) science fiction story, "Arcvad the Terrible," appeared in The Forum. It is a satirical piece about an Martian looking down on Earth and deciding that it's time to do away with us Earthlings for good.
The bibliography below is unlikely to ever be complete, but I will continue adding items as I find them.

It's the Same Story for Subaru; Outback and Forester Are Smokin' Hot
It's getting to be the same thing every month with Subaru. The 2017 Subaru Outback and Forester are on fire. What new records did they set?
Outback Limited
Cargo deck
Even though it's the same story month after month, Subaru is certainly doing something extraordinary as their all-wheel-drive vehicles are on fire. In January they hit another sales record month, and the 2017 Outback and Forester lead the way. Subaru of America (SOA) is on fire and the rest of the auto industry in on notice. It's not going to stop anytime soon. Here's how Subaru starts 2017.
SOA had a another record in January with a 6.8 percent increase over January 2016. Now they have 62 consecutive months of yearly month-over-month growth, and it was the best January ever for the SUV-alternative Outback wagon and the small Forester SUV. Both vehicles are on fire, and Subaru executives are giddy with excitement.
2016 was the eighth consecutive year of sales records for SOA, and their ninth consecutive year of sales increases. Last year, Subaru of America eclipsed 600,000 units in the U.S., and this year they expect to grow another 9 percent putting them at the 670,000 mark in total sales. No other automaker is growing faster and the success story continues to impress.
The new 2017 Subaru Impreza sedan and 5-Door compacts have already hit dealer showrooms and are already boosting sales. The all-new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek crossover will be unveiled in Geneva in March, and it will contribute to the success story later this year. For now, it's the 2017 Subaru Outback and 2017 Forester leading the way, but there's more to come from the tiny Japanese automaker. Stay tuned.

Q: Make tables related I'm trying to design a database for my website but i have a little problem with making related tables .
I have two tables . Table1 and Table2
Table1 is used to store user`s information and Table2 is used to store their activation codes
To relate them i need to store each user's ID in Table1 , inside Each record of Table2 so that i can get my user`s activation code
And as i know it is how relational databases work.
My problem is when using php to run mysql commands and add new user information in Table1 , How can i find What ID Number will be assigned to my user so that i can save both Id and activation code in my other table ?

A: If you use PDO, you can use the function lastInsertId() to retrieve the last id inserted in your last query.
http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.lastinsertid.php
If you use Mysqli, you have the mysqli_insert_id() function .

The history of chocolate was the ancient civilizations of Central America
by space · October 30, 2018
The appearance of chocolate is usually attributed to the Mayan civilization and other ancient civilizations of Central America and Mesoamerica, which cultivated and used cocoa beans about 3,900 years ago. However, new data indicates that representatives of the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, who also lived much further south – on the territory of present-day Ecuador, began to use the cocoa fruit another 1,500 years earlier. The finding, described in an article for the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, dates back to the age of 5500 years.
Professor Michael Blake of the University of British Columbia (Michael Blake) and his co-authors worked on the eastern slope of the Andes, in the widely known archaeological site of Santa Ana. The excavations here began in 2002, and it was they that became the key to describe the Neolithic culture of the Mayo-Chinchipa that existed here before 1700 BC. The very memory of these people has sunk into oblivion, but apparently, it was from them that we left chocolate.
After examining local artifacts, including stone stupas and ceramic bowls, jugs, and the like, in six of them, scientists noticed traces of fibers from plants of the cocoa group (chocolate tree). And in 25 ceramic and 21 stone artifacts, the remains of theobromine, the most important substance of cocoa beans, remained. Finally, fragments of the old mitochondrial DNA of the usual homemade chocolate tree Theobroma, as well as its close wild relative Herrania, were found in local pottery.
The map shows the natural range of Theobroma trees; color indicates their local species diversity. Blue marks show archaeological finds in Central and South America; SALF – Santa Ana – La Florida / © Zarrillo et al., 2018
The radiocarbon method made it possible to date some of these artifacts over 5300 years old. The very appearance of many vessels, in which traces of cocoa beans, dressed and trimmed with special care, remain, indicates the importance of these plants in the life of the Stone Age Indians. Perhaps due to the pronounced effect on the psyche, they were used during religious rituals and ceremonies.
Previously, there were only indirect indications of the use of cocoa in Ecuador long before the advent of civilizations of Mesoamerica. Thus, ancient ceramics with recognizable images of cocoa beans are known, and the forests of the upper Amazonia are the key place of growth for the trees of the Theobroma group (22 species) and Herrania (17 species). The new discovery complements this list with the most direct evidence.
Seashells and other artifacts that are abundant on Santa Ana indicate an active trade conducted by the Mayo-Chinchip Indians. It is possible that the Theobroma "migrated" to the north, where they later became one of the cult elements of the highly developed cultures of Mesoamerica. Well, already much later, when the Mayo-Chinchipe culture and even the Maya disappeared, chocolate conquered the whole world.

'Rogue One' Videos Galore: IMAX TV Spot, Two Movie Clips & Two New Featurettes
By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 12, 2016 6:00 am EST
It's almost time for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The early buzz on the movie hit the web over the weekend once the world premiere of the movie in Los Angeles was over, and full reviews will start hitting the web on December 13th. In the meantime, if you're still soaking up as much Rogue One footage as you can, we have a batch of new videos for you to check out.
After the jump, check out a new Rogue One IMAX TV spot, a couple of clips that debuted when the cast of the film appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live before the weekend, and two featurettes going behind the scenes of the Star Wars spin-off. Watch all those videos after the jump!
First up, here's the new Rogue One IMAX TV spot with some awesome Director Krennic moments:
In addition, the cast of Rogue One stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live, and while talking about making the movie and all the hype surrounding it, they debuted two new clips. The first one is right at the beginning of the next video before the cast goes on to talk about their own excitement for the movie:
Another clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live has the cast talking about what they stole from the Rogue One set as a keepsake, and then around the 3:18 mark there's another new clip from the movie for you to check out:
And finally, here are two new featurettes focusing on K-2SO and the new paradise planet Scarif:
We're getting down to the wire with Rogue One promotion, so we'll do our best to keep anything that feels like it might be a spoiler from appearing here until after the movie hits theaters. Even then, we'll be sure to keep any spoilery discussion from the front page so as not to hurt anyone not seeing the movie opening weekend. But if you're not seeing it right away, what kind of Star Wars fan are you?
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel are producing, with John Knoll and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on December 16.

JC Penney Building
The Penney's building is composed of three buildings that were constructed in 1898 after a fire destroyed the entire block in 1897. JC Penney occupied the two southern buildings and the Federal Bakery operated out of the northern building until JC Penney combined the buildings and operated until 1980. The property had been vacant from 1980 on, and fell into great despair until the partnership of Hatcher-Hill and Associates GP was formed in 2013.
The redevelopment of the JC Penney building is a partnership of four proven local downtown developers. David Dewhirst and Mark Heinz of Dewhirst Properties, and Tim Hill and Mike Hatcher of Hatcher-Hill Properties, came together to form Hatcher-Hill and Associates, GP. Combined, the two groups have rehabilitated over Forty Buildings in downtown Knoxville totaling over $50 million in projects.
Sixty thousand square feet of prime downtown space is now available in the heart of Gay Street. Fifteen condos available for purchase, two for lease, and four commercial spaces for lease.
Kilwin's, a national treasure and favorite, has leased the ground floor of the Federal Bakery Building. Babalu Tacos & Tapas will occupy the majority of the ground floor of the original JC Penney's building and will serve a variety of made from scratch food and cocktails. Check out their website for more info.
Maple Hall Bowling Lanes will occupies the approximately 12,000 square foot basement and consists of 12 bowling lanes, a stage for entertainment, and a kitchen in which a James Beard nominated chef will set the menu featuring small plates with top quality food and a wide selection of craft cocktails and beers.

Q: Pass object (that will go out of scope) by reference So I have this function:
addDataToList(..., QVariant metadata) { }

The relevant QVariant constructor in this case is: QVariant(const QString & val).
Now I have a function foo(), from where I call addDataToList() function.
How do I pass a valid value to the QVariant object?
If I have something like this:
void foo() {
    QString str = "String";
    addDataToList(..., QVariant(str));
}

It will not work because str object will go out of scope, leading into undefined behavior.
But if I create the string on heap, something like this:
void foo() {
    QString *str = new QString("String");
    addDataToList(..., QVariant(*str));
}

It will work, but there will be some memory leaks (because QVariant doesn't take ownership of the passed pointer).
How do I solve this situation?
EDIT: This is the actual implementation of addDataToList(...):
void TPMSvalidator::addDataToList(const QString &data, bool useMetadata, MessageTypes type, QVariant metadata) {
    QString text;
    QIcon okIcon(QDir::currentPath() + "\\Resources\\Icons\\ok3.png");
    QIcon notOkIcon(QDir::currentPath() + "\\Resources\\Icons\\notok.png");
    QIcon noticeIcon(QDir::currentPath() + "\\Resources\\Icons\\warning2.png");

    if (data != QString()) {
        QListWidgetItem *data_w = new QListWidgetItem;

        if (type == MessageTypes::notification) {
            data_w->setBackgroundColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::gray));
            data_w->setTextColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::black));
            data_w->setIcon(noticeIcon);
            text.append("NOTICE: ");
        }
        else if (type == MessageTypes::telegramOkInfo) {
            data_w->setBackgroundColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::gray));
            data_w->setTextColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::black));
            data_w->setIcon(okIcon);
            text.append("INFO: ");
        }
        else if (type == MessageTypes::telegramNotOkInfo) {
            data_w->setBackgroundColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::gray));
            data_w->setTextColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::red));
            data_w->setIcon(notOkIcon);
            text.append("INFO: ");
        }
        else if (type == MessageTypes::warning) {
            data_w->setBackgroundColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::darkYellow));
            data_w->setTextColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::black));
            text.append("WARNING: ");
        }
        else {
            data_w->setBackgroundColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::darkRed).light(130));
            data_w->setTextColor(QColor(Qt::GlobalColor::white));
            data_w->setIcon(notOkIcon);
            text.append("ERROR: ");
        }

        text.append(data);
        data_w->setText(text);
        data_w->setFont(QFont("Helvetica"));

        if (useMetadata) {
            data_w->setData(Qt::UserRole, metadata);
        }

        ui.listData->addItem(data_w);

        if (ui.autoScrollCheckBox->isChecked()) {
            ui.listData->scrollToBottom();
        }
    }
}

A: With
addDataToList(..., QVariant metadata) { }

You are taking a QVariant by value.  As such you will copy the the value passed to the function.  So in
addDataToList(..., QVariant(str));

You create a temporary QVariant and the contents of that temporary are copied into metadata in addDataToList().  Now metadata is its own object and is not dependent on the temporary that you created.

A: The first version with temporary object on the stack will work safely, because the temporary QString is copied by value into the QVariant - not only the reference.

Microsoft explains what you'll lose by upgrading to Windows 10
Say goodbye to Windows Media Center and control over your updates
By James Vincent on June 1, 2015 11:41 am
Microsoft announced today that it will be launching Windows 10 on July 29th, encouraging Windows 7 and 8.1 users to reserve their free upgrade with a notification in their task bar. However, while the company has been busy highlighting all the shiny new features in the upcoming OS, it's been a bit quieter when it comes to spelling out the limitations — including making updates automatic for Windows 10 Home users.
SAY GOODBYE TO HEARTS AND DESKTOP GADGETS
Firstly there are the software losses. Most of these will only affect a small number of users, but upgrading will mean saying goodbye to Windows Media Center, the card game Hearts, and Windows 7's desktop gadgets. Anyone in the habit of using floppy disks on Windows will also have to install new drivers, and Microsoft warns that watching DVDs will also require "separate playback software." Microsoft manager Gabriel Aul has said on Twitter that a DVD option for Windows 10 is coming "later this year," but early upgraders can always download VLC instead.
In addition to the software losses, there are also a number of limitations for some of Windows 10's most exciting features. Cortana will only be available in the US, UK, China, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain at launch, while Windows Hello (which offers support for various biometric passwords) will need an infrared camera for facial recognition, or a supported fingerprint reader. The Xbox Music and Xbox Video streaming apps will also be constrained by the usual, complex web of region-based licenses.
More annoyingly, perhaps, Microsoft has also changed how updates will work with Windows 10. Although the Pro and Enterprise editions will both be able to defer updates, Windows 10 Home users will not have the option. Updates will instead be downloaded and installed automatically as soon as they're available. System requirements for the new OS have also been detailed, with PCs and tablets needing to pass a fairly low bar: a 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a display resolution of at least 1,024 x 600 are required. These specs are a bit higher for the 64-bit version of Windows 10 but for these details and more, you can check out Microsoft's full specs page.

Piracy falls in 2012
The IMB warns that despite the drop in piracy in 2012 the seas off East and West Africa remain dangerous, and crews must remain vigilant.
Piracy falls in 2012, but seas off East and West Africa remain dangerous, says IMB
London, Paris, 16 January 2013 – Piracy on the world's seas has reached a five-year low, with 297 ships attacked in 2012, compared with 439 in 2011, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Maritime Bureau (IMB) global piracy report revealed today. Worldwide figures were brought down by a huge reduction in Somali piracy, though East and West Africa remain the worst hit areas, with 150 attacks in 2012.
Globally, 174 ships were boarded by pirates last year, while 28 were hijacked and 28 were fired upon. IMB's Piracy Reporting Centre also recorded 67 attempted attacks. The number of people taken hostage onboard fell to 585 from 802 in 2011, while a further 26 were kidnapped for ransom in Nigeria. Six crewmembers were killed and 32 were injured or assaulted.
"IMB's piracy figures show a welcome reduction in hijackings and attacks to ships. But crews must remain vigilant, particularly in the highly dangerous waters off East and West Africa," said Captain Pottengal Mukundan, Director of IMB, which has monitored piracy worldwide since 1991.
In Somalia and the Gulf of Aden, just 75 ships reported attacks in 2012 compared with 237 in 2011, accounting for 25% of incidents worldwide. The number of Somali hijackings was halved from 28 in 2011 to 14 last year.
IMB says navies are deterring piracy off Africa's east coast, with pre-emptive strikes and robust action against mother ships. So too are private armed security teams and crews' application of "Best Management Practices".
But the threat and capability of heavily armed Somali pirates remains strong.
"The continued presence of the navies is vital to ensuring that Somali piracy remains low," said Captain Mukundan. "This progress could easily be reversed if naval vessels were withdrawn from the area."
Pirate mother ships and skiffs were reported in the Gulf of Oman, southern Red Sea and the Somali basin, with a number of attacks close to the Straits of Hormuz and the energy routes out of the Arabian Gulf. As of 31 December 2012, Somali pirates still held 104 hostages on eight ships and 23 more were detained on land, pending negotiations for their release.
In Somalia, and elsewhere, vessels most commonly attacked are container ships, bulk carriers and tankers loaded with oil, chemicals and other products. Fishing vessels and other smaller boats are also at risk.
As for West Africa, piracy is rising in the Gulf of Guinea, with 58 incidents recorded in 2012, including 10 hijackings and 207 crew members taken hostage. Pirates in this area are particularly violent, with guns reported in at least 37 of the attacks. Benin is an exception, showing a sharp fall from 20 incidents (including eight hijackings) in 2011 to two (including one hijacking) in 2012.
Nigeria accounted for 27 incidents in 2012, with four vessels hijacked, 13 vessels boarded, eight fired upon and two attempted attacks. Only 10 incidents were reported in 2011, including two hijackings. Togo has also seen an increase from five reports in 2011 to 15 in 2012, including four hijackings.
Off the Ivory Coast, five incidents were reported in 2012, up from one in 2011. In the last quarter of 2012, a panamax product tanker was hijacked by suspected Nigerian pirates off Abidjan, the first such recorded vessel hijacking off the Ivory Coast. This shows the increased range of Nigerian pirates.
Elsewhere, in Southeast Asia four vessels were hijacked, including a Malaysian tanker which was subsequently recaptured in Vietnam in the last quarter of 2012.
Across the Indonesian archipelago, there were 81 reports of petty theft, accounting for more than a quarter of global incidents in 2012. Thirty vessels were attacked in the last quarter of 2012. Reports from Indonesia have increased yearly since 2009. Vessels were boarded in 73 incidents and 47 crew members taken hostage. Fourteen incidents were reported at Belawan by ships anchored or berthed.
IMB offers the latest piracy reports free of charge. To request a PDF version of the report by email, please visit: http://www.icc-ccs.org/piracy-reporting-centre/request-piracy-report

Q: Showing that a set has equal number of even\odd numbered subsets
Let $M$ be a non-empty set. Show that $M$ has as many subsets with an odd number of elements as subsets with an even number of elements.

I already found a solution which said to use the identity $\sum_{k = 0}^{n} (-1)^{k} {n \choose k} = 0$, which clearly can be seen that the sign alternates for odd and even $k$. I also found a prove of the identity here. The point is that, I want to know whether this can be proved in any other method apart from that identity, and if yes, how?

A: Since the set is non-empty we can choose $m\in M$.  Then there is a perfect pairing between the set of subsets containing $m$ and the set of subsets which don't contain $m$ (just add $m$ if it isn't there, and delete it if it is). But in each such pair one subset has an even number of elements and the other has an odd number of elements.
As an explicit example, suppose your original set has three elements $\{A,B,C\}$.  Say we choose the element $A$.  Then The pairing is $$\left[\emptyset, \{A\}\right], \left[\{B\}, \{A,B\}\right],\left[\{C\}, \{A,C\}\right],\left[\{B,C\}, \{A,B,C\}\right]$$

A: Let $M$ be a non-empty set, $O$ the set of odd subsets and $E$ the set of even subsets. As $M$ is non-empty, we may pick an element $m\in M$. Then $X\mapsto X\mathbin\Delta\{m\}$ is a bijection $O\to E$ (as well as $E\to O$), hence both must have equal cardinality. (Recall that $A\mathbin\Delta B:=(A\cup B)\setminus(A\cap B)$, i.e., we "toggle" membership of $m$)

A: The OP knows the relevance of the identity, but here's a quick summary for any other reader. Give each subset with exactly $k$ elements a score of $(-1)^k$. The identity then states that the total score of all subsets is 0. However, while subsets with an even number of elements score $1$, those with an odd number of elements score $-1$. Therefore, the total score is the number of even-size subsets minus the number of odd-size subsets. Since this total is 0, there are equally many subsets of the two types.

The Antioch Review's Transphobic Essay Isn't About Free Speech
Last week, The Antioch Review, a notable journal in the literary community, published an essay by Daniel Harris titled, "The Sacred Androgen: The Transgender Debate." The piece's openly transphobic, antagonistic language was met with an online petition denouncing the essay for self-described members of the literary community to sign. The petition has since reached more than 4,000 signatures. Antioch College released a statement in response to the controversy, and in a move that's as problematic as it was predictable, decided to use that good ol' "free speech" argument as a justification for keeping the piece.

Curiously, the typical consistent with particular person expenditure for dental care in 2002 was once $513.06, in comparison to $three,302 consistent with particular person in the similar 12 months spent for same old hospital therapy.
Those figures recommend that those techniques perform very another way from every different.

Police investigate claims that cyclist spat at child in car
Man cleared of historic rapes and indecent assaults
Groves trial faces further setbacks
Postie dog attacks down
Guernsey Police are investigating an incident around Salerie Corner in which a cyclist reportedly tried to spit through an open window at a five-year-old girl.
Mother-of-two Donna Power has provided a description of the cyclist and made a plea for witnesses and anyone else who can help identify the man.
Ms Power said the incident took place at around 15:20-15:30 on Tuesday afternoon.
"I beeped as he kept swerving, so I couldn't overtake, then when I beeped and told him to use the cycle path sensibly he decided to honk back and tried to spit in my youngest daughter's face [through an open window]," she said. "But as he was riding it blew onto the back window where my eldest was sat, luckily with her window up enough as it would have gone straight in her face."
Ms Power described the cyclist as an average height male, possibly late 20s to 30s, with dark skin, a beard and dark hair that was tied back. Possibly late 20's to 30's. He was wearing dark clothing and also riding a dark mountain bike heading towards Salerie from the Weighbridge on the road, before moving onto the cycle lane and continuing in that direction at a fast speed.
She was driving in the same direction when the incident took place, and stopped there afterwards to check on her daughters.
Pictures were taken of the spit that landed on the rear passenger seat window and swabs were taken by the police.
Witnesses and anyone else with any information should contact Guernsey Police on 725111 and ask for PC 147.

Scoliosis in Children and Teens
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/scoliosis
What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. Children and teens with scoliosis have an abnormal S-shaped or C-shaped curve of the spine. The curve can happen on either side of the spine and in different places in the spine. With treatment, observation, and follow-up with the doctor, most children and teens with scoliosis have normal, active lives.
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/pemphigus
What is pemphigus? Pemphigus is a rare disease that causes blistering on many parts of the body, including the skin and the inside of the mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals. In pemphigus, the immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the top layer of the skin.
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/ichthyosis
What is ichthyosis? Ichthyosis is a group of skin disorders. It leads to dry, itchy skin that appears scaly, rough, and red. The symptoms can range from mild to severe. Ichthyosis can affect only the skin, but sometimes the disease can affect internal organs, too.
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/acne
What is acne? Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged. Oil and dead skin cells plug the pores, and outbreaks of lesions (often called pimples or zits) can happen. Most often, the outbreaks occur on the face but can also appear on the back, chest, and shoulders. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their thirties, but some people in their forties and fifties continue to have this skin problem.
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/epidermolysis-bullosa
What is epidermolysis bullosa? Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare diseases that cause fragile skin that leads to blisters and tearing. Tears, sores, and blisters in the skin happen when something rubs or bumps the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body. In severe cases, blisters may also develop inside the body. The symptoms of the disease usually begin at birth or during infancy and range from mild to severe.
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/giant-cell-arteritis
What is giant cell arteritis? Giant cell arteritis causes the arteries of the scalp and neck to become red, hot, swollen, or painful. The arteries most affected are those in the temples on either side of the head. These arteries narrow, so not enough blood can pass through. It is important that you get treatment right away. Otherwise, the arteries could be permanently damaged. There is also a risk of blindness or stroke. If you have giant cell arteritis, your doctor should also look for signs of another disorder, polymyalgia rheumatica. These conditions often occur together.

Million-Strong Workers' Demonstration in Rome: the End of Renzi's Honeymoon
International Europe
News & Analysis International
Claudio Bellotti
The national demonstration called on October 25 in Rome by the CGIL trade union marks a turning point in the class struggle in Italy. It was one of the biggest demonstrations in the history of the Italian trade unions with up to a million taking part. The Italian working class is once again on the march.
However, the importance of the day is not only due to the size of the demonstration. The most important point is that the working class has emerged from its silence and is beginning to make its strength felt at all levels of society. After several years of deafening silence, the workers of Italy are once again raising their voices and it will not be easy to force them back into passivity.
For several years that voice seemed, and indeed was, absent from the political confrontation. Three unelected governments (Monti, Letta, and now Renzi), the diktats from Brussels and Frankfurt, an opposition lead by a clown, the trade union leaders uttering some senseless phrases about the need for "shared solutions," the left wing fragmented, powerless, and impotent—that, on the surface, was the scenario of Italian politics.
Below the surface of this mediocre theater, however, there was a growing abyss of unemployment, falling wages, increasing poverty, superexploitation, cuts, one-fourth of industry shut down, factories closing every day, emigration, rage, and despair.
From time to time, suddenly, some explosion would break the silence: one factory, one town, overnight would go from passivity to the most militant of struggles, only to go back to the previous situation in the space of a few days, apparently without leaving a trace. We, the IMT in Italy, were literally the only tendency on the Italian left which did not succumb to the mood of pessimism and frustration generated by this situation.
Not surprisingly, the vanguard was particularly affected by this mood: a minority consisting of the most advanced layers had to bear the full weight of the bosses' offensive, trying to organize a fight back under the very harsh conditions of the economic crisis, rendered even worse by the betrayals of the trade union bureaucracies.
And after all the attempts to create a general front of resistance against these governments failed or fell into the general indifference, it was the government itself that ignited the powder keg. Prime Minister Renzi thought that a 41 percent vote cast for his Democratic Party in the European elections last May was enough of a green light to launch an all-out attack on the working class and the trade unions.
The misnamed "Jobs Act" is in effect an attempt—and not the first—to turn the clock back to before 1970, that is to say to abolish what is left of the Labor Code (Statuto dei Lavoratori) which was won after the Hot Autumn of 1969. The objective is to give the bosses a free hand in hiring and firing, to provide them with the most draconian methods of controlling the workforce through new technologies, etc.
To all this we must add the sixth consecutive year of wage freezes in the public sector, the continuing cuts that will mean further sackings of casual workers in the public sector and in local government, the ongoing privatization of the education system, the increased taxation on redundancy pay and pension funds, the attempt to privatize the local utilities, and the complete passivity while foreign multinationals close down entire plants.
The "Jobs Act" is to be voted as an Enabling Law, which allows the government to issue the related decrees without further parliamentary debate; and if all this were not enough, Renzi has also launched a frontal attack against the trade union apparatus, and the CGIL in particular, hitting it where it hurts most, that is, in their finances, by cutting money they had been receiving for various services they perform in cooperation with the state bureaucracy.
This is the background to the dramatic turn in the situation that we are witnessing these days. In the space of just a few weeks we have gone from listening to speeches by the trade union leaders saying, "strikes are no longer a useful means of struggle" to the calling of local, regional, industry-wide strikes, to the demonstration in Rome, and, inevitably, to a general strike in the next few weeks.
The demonstration in Rome was a like an enormous sigh of relief: "We are here at last, we are speaking for ourselves, we are fighting back, we are moving!" The mood was both cheerful and serious at the same time, as the joy and the pride at the show of strength on the part of the workers did not lead them to ignoring the scope of the battle and the tasks ahead for one moment. Everyone was well aware that no demonstration, no matter how big, is enough to make the government change its course. Not surprisingly, the crowded square literally exploded when in the final speech General Secretary Susanna Camusso mentioned the general strike.
Our organization was up to the occasion. With around 200 comrades and sympathizers we managed to run three stalls (two in the meeting points and one in S. Giovanni Square), to organize a really lively and militant youth section of the demo under the slogan "No jobs, No rights, No future—NO FEAR!" where the student comrades uninterruptedly shouted slogans and sang throughout the whole march; others went around raising money, selling our youth bulletin, Sempre in Lotta, and getting contacts. International solidarity was in the front line of our column with a big banner expressing support for the student movement in Mexico.
Other comrades were involved with sections organized by their trade union federations or workplace union commitees, while the rest of us covered the demonstration and the square. We also produced a special T-shirt which was well received, as well as stickers and leaflets. More than 600 copies of FalceMartello were sold and several thousands euros in fighting funds were raised (also by selling sandwiches and beer to the hungry demonstrators and comrades). Dozens of contacts were made in a model intervention.
On the very same day of the demonstration, Renzi called a big convention of his supporters in Florence, a veritable festival of bourgeois reaction posing as the "latest and new" which can save Italy from its decline through privatizations, liberalizations, limitations of the right to strike—a bosses' festival which exuded spite and hatred for anything remotely linked to the working class and its organizations.
The two gatherings, in Florence and Rome, highlighted in the most graphic manner the class divide, a gap which is now increasing by the day.
The scene is therefore set for a major confrontation, and whathever the outcome will be, things will not go back to the previous situation. On December 6–8, our organization will hold its national congress. Our main slogans will be—"For a working class party! For the revolutionary alternative!" On these two cornerstones we will build our tendency in the new and stormy situation which is now opening up.

Park City will be biggest US ski resort
12th September 2014, by Abi Butcher
Park City Mountain Resort is now part of the Epic Pass
Vail Resorts have bought the Utah ski resort of Park City for a cool $182.5million (£112million), further strengthening the company's grip on the US ski industry.
Vail Resorts already owns the lease on neighbouring ski resort Canyons, and says it wants to combine the two to create the largest ski resort in the country. Vail Resorts now either owns or controls Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Keystone in Colorado, Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood in California/Nevada as well as Park City and Canyons in Uta
The surprise announcement was made yesterday, Thursday 11 September, only two days after the family company that owned Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) agreed to pay a $17.5 million bond to allow the resort to open this season following a three-year legal battle over ownership.
Park City's resort base, parking, lifts and snowmaking have until this week been owned and run by the Cummings family's Powdr Corp, which leased 3,000 acres of ski terrain at the top of the mountain from Canadian company Talisker. In 2011 PCMR were late renewing their lease and Talisker instead signed a deal with Vail Resorts for a $25million, to include the running of Canyons resort next door.
Vail Resorts has bought Park City's resort base, parking, ski terrain and lifts, as well as water and snowmaking for the entire mountain. The Cummings Family will retain Gorgoza Park, a tubing operation about 10 miles from the resort.
Vails' acquisition of Park City means the Utah resort is the latest to join the Epic Pass. There are now 22 resorts included on the Epic collection, and more than 32,000 acres (12,950 ha) of the best skiing and riding in the world.
"Park City Mountain Resort is one of the most iconic mountain resorts in the world and as the newest addition to the Vail Resorts collection of world-class mountains, it's now epic. We're thrilled to be able to offer unlimited skiing and riding at Park City Mountain Resort on the Epic Pass for the 2014-15 winter season," said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts.
The 2014-15 Epic Pass, which costs US$749 for adults and US$389 for children (ages 5-12), features unlimited, unrestricted skiing and riding at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado; Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons in Park City, Utah; Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood at Lake Tahoe; Afton Alps in Minnesota and Mt. Brighton in Michigan. Epic Pass holders also get up to five consecutive free days when booking accommodation with the Tourist Office in Les 3 Vallées, France and Verbier, Switzerland, as well as five consecutive free days at Niseko United, Japan.
Meanwhile, former Park City owner John Cumming added: "Selling was the last thing we wanted to do, but it was the only way to provide long-term certainty for PCMR employees and the Park City community. We trust Vail will responsibly carry forward the legacy of PCMR and be a champion for the Park City community."

Interview with Stefanie Wuschitz, part 1: On Women, Technology and Hacking Playground
Ladiez and Gentlemen, it's time to start with a series of interviews I did during amazing Belgrade's Napravi me / Make Me Festival in June. My first guest will be hardware hackin' lady and artist Stefanie Wuschitz, the founder of Vienna's Miss Baltazar's Laboratory – Women and Trans hacklab.
Stefanie Wuschitz, photo taken from F-book (cc)
Hi Stefanie! Tell me something about your art and hacking roots… You are educated as an artist, but then you decided to seriously mess around with electronics, DIY, open sourcing, activism, workshopism… When did you hook up to all these things?
SW: I studied media art with video art and animation, and then I participated at Eclectic Tech Carnival in Graz, I think it was in 2005, and I got addicted (laughs). I was very impressed by the women that I've met there. I thought, Wow, we can do it! And they are not unhappy, strange geeks but very cool and strong women. Then maybe I could do it too. I was really impressed by these tools of self-expression, writing, making web sites, editing sound, making interactive stuff and opening computers and finding out more about how things work.
After that, I did MA in interactive telecommunications in New York. There we had a very dedicated boss, an old woman who does the art class for thirty years. She always invites 1/3 of IT people, 1/3 artists and 1/3 designers. She always gets 50% girls and 50% boys. So, it's a very diverse environment and then you collaborate on projects together. Hence, artists learn a lot about hardware and coding, designers to do art projects, whilst IT people open up to really weird ideas on how to use technology, so everyone can kind of improve and help the others.

Is this the same school Sabine Saymour (author of books 'Fashionable Technology' and 'Functional Aesthetics') has finished too, right?
SW: Yes, exactly! It's the same program. She was the only person I knew in Austria that had attended the program (laughs). So, I called her, although I didn't know her at the time and asked what it's like to study there? She said: Yeah, it's great! You should do it!
I got the scholarship and went there for two years, but then I thought it's really unfair that in such an exclusive environment there are no many people from ethnic minorities. I thought it would be cool to share all these knowledge – open source and open hardware. So that you don't have to go to university and ask in order to learn (laughs). Something you can just teach each other.

Seems like you're more interested in open source hardware, then in open source software?
SW: Yeah! I'm interested in how to sense the world, I'm interested in interfaces of communication and how to create new interfaces for enabling to play with the environment and express yourself through it. If there is software needed it for it, YES, I'll do it. But it's not so much fun for me to produce the software. It's more fun to try to find new ways how to interact with the world, which becomes meaningful.
When I have a choice to do whatever I like mostly I would do 50% art and 50% activism. I'm trying to build structures in which is fun to work, it's playful and sort of experiment with socializing. I find that really important.

Since you are basically both, artist and hardware hacker, what is your opinion on the current state in new media art regarding working processes? Let me explain briefly what I mean. There are so many artists that use programmers and engineers to make their work, and very often I'm listening engineers and hackers complaining that they would love to show practically everything to the artist in order to motivate him/her to do their work completely on their own… Of course, not everyone needs to know everything, but isn't this position a little bit tricky for the artist? I would even say isn't this a little bit old fashioned?
SW: You mean when they ask them to do it for them? Well, I think it's a big decision to give away this process into the hands of someone else, because it's the most creative phase of your work, actually to get into the making phase from the conceptual one, and usually it changes a lot. I mean, if you ask a sculptor, if you know how to do it and then you work on it, there is a big difference, it develops into the phase when you actually work with the material.
So, if you give that into the hands of some else they make creative decisions for you. And then I think it's very problematic if an artist says It's my project, because in the end it's a collaboration between this technician and the artist. Because there are so many things that you have to do, of course, it depends if you just have very, very clear idea what you want. But then it's also boring kind of art, it's always just going from A to B. I think, a project can be extremely surprising, the interest in exiting and seeing where the process is taking you when you make and discover something new.

It's about the tinkering…
SW: Yeah, I think there is some kind of progress that you make when you are trying to find something and when there is an error, and then you try something else, and then you realise that you should do it other way previously. So, I think apart from the fact that you give away the material and the decision making process, it's also politically problematic.
If it's always a girl paying a man or being nice to man in order to have them program their artwork, it's just hiring them. I think it's really, really difficult if you work in a lab and you deal with certain people and you always have to be the one who is receiving and you can't be who you want to be, then it's typical female things, cooking and you do the graphics (laughs). It's perpetuating the structures.

And with that aim you founded Miss Baltazar's Laboratory – Women and Trans hacklab?
SW: Yeah, we started Miss Baltazar's Laboratory to have interdisciplinary collaborations and to be creative, to find new tools of expressions in electronics and new media. So, girls are encouraged to do things themselves and not to be so respectful towards it, because it's something they can learn for themselves too.
In order to see that it's not so extremely mysterious and holy and beyond their capability, you know. But it's something you can actually do if you have understood that and realized how to do it. Normally, after that you can maybe also reflect this experience to other practices, and you can turn yourself in other circumstances, as someone who is making and doing things, something you would not have believed that you could do.

So, it's an NGO…
SW: Yeah, it's an NGO. I mean, we are tiny but we got some funding. So, we are able to pay all lectures, and that's also important because in the culture field there is so much exploitation, self-exploitation. Therefore, we are trying to value people's skills and when they share something that's private because it's their own artwork, and we are trying to acknowledge that.
There are so many organization, projects, and institutions in new media nowadays, but they have usually one way communication, something like festivals and it's always towards the audience. There is no communication from all sides. That's very interesting with the hacklabs and shareable cultures…
SW: Yeah, the interesting thing is that we took the concept from the Genderchangers, through the Eclectic Tech Carnival, because they were really convinced that it's important to participate, which is also kind of sharing and contributing. At the Eclectic Tech Carnival everyone participating is also giving a workshop, and then it's a group of people where all share.
I mean, in this case, of course is almost undoable you can't have lecture, than you would sit for three weeks if really everyone here would give a workshop, I guess. But from that tendency we tried to have everyone see themselves as active and passive, like giving and taking, and being exposed to information because then again you feel like paralyzed in a way.

What are your experiences with sharing knowledge in different cultures? Have you found working with a variety of people from all backgrounds rewarding?
SW: I think there are different qualities of how we collaborate. Like in Syria for example, people are really used to collaborate a lot, because there is a lot of trouble, and people are just sticking together more. They are very improvisational and spontaneous, but basically I think in the movement of our Lab we have this very special environment that we create with Women and Trans Only and then technology, that's so specific. This experience of being in this whole circle is really special, creative and very safe environment. Therefore, it's much more influential then the history or the society where participants live.
But groups are always very diverse, and I think that at the end most people realize in their groups that actually the only thing they have in common is that they are maybe all afraid of technology (laughs), based on the society around them, who says NO, there is nothing for you here! So, the moment we realized that you are more afraid to do whatever you like because you realize, OK this is from outside, this perception of myself, that I feel uneasy.

Did you see some differences in the final result?
SW: I've seen more similarities, that's interesting! Many people are significantly interested in these wireless and connective things. I think that a lot of the things that come out at the beginning are about communication and contact, triggering some reaction in something else. Well that's my interpretation, that kind of expression of what you experience if you are at the 3 or 4 days workshop in the group.
Then there is a lot of connection and you trigger thoughts in someone else. Yeah, it's a very fertile environment and the output you have is also about these things that are sparking each other and one enlightening the other, one touch is making lights go on.
It's also a lot about different phases you go though. That's also many times a topic that comes out in the artwork produced within this process and the character of an artwork. Also, it's easier to do that with interactive media rather than with the painting, I think, because it's time based. So, you might enter a room and the video camera is tracking you, and then something else happens, then you move in a different way, something happens…
Therefore, the performance space and time based characters are also reflected in the content of the artwork. Because it's often about life phases or relationship phases, you know. So, there are similarities and differences. Differences are very much smaller then I would have ever expected between people…

That's nice to hear… Could we talk a little bit about this combination of low tech and high tech, because your workshop here at Make Me Festival is an example of this – on one side Arduino and on the other side the usage of old obsolete parts from mobile phones combined with the photocell…
SW: Yeah, it's funny, you know, this inflation of what is technology or what isn't technology, yeah… For me, it's more sensational to work with stuff that is not seeing as technology anymore (laughs). It's easier to put some meaning in it and see it as a poetic thing, while the things that are really new, they are labelled as TECHNOLOGY, you know, just like the transcendence like 'Have you seen this Macintosh'. It's so light and smooth, it has all these status qualities…

Yeah, I know… I'm a former Mac user (laughs)… But no chance to get back, especially after getting an introduction to the Linux community… Of course, then this opportunity to choose what I want, using dual boot or as many operating systems I want…and Hackintosh is also very cool option to try out…
SW: It's really something people are not allowed to touch and question. So, I think that things that are associated with low tech are just the ones that people sympathize more in the art world, which is like: yeah, making it yourself and changing to your own needs, and adapting it, reusing it and not just wasting energies and resources. There is a certain language associated with the use of low tech, I guess. The certain culture associate with low tech, that's when people are so happy about it in the moment, because it's just a reaction to a lot of things in our world that we might criticize a lot.

9:30 PM - Lights out!
There will be tour guides at the port asking to accompany you to your resort. If you are not familiar with the area, better to ask help from them. They won't charge any amount but tips will be appreciated.
The way to the resorts can be flooded during rainy season. According to the tour guides, water can rise up to knee deep if it rains and it takes a while for the water to subside. Better bring footwear that you can submerge in muddy water.
If you are able to make prior arrangements, contact Dona Choleng to arrange for your pick-up from Sabang Port for convenience. The resort has a shuttle service which can pick-up and bring guests to/from the port for a fee.
For guests staying in other resorts without shuttle services, if you are unwilling to go to your resorts on foot, there is an option to hire small boats. Boat rental fee is around P2,000 per boat per way.
Local hawkers may also ask you for paluto but usually, these are not allowed by the resorts for sanitation and safety reasons. If you would like to order fresh seafood, ask your resort if they are able to prepare them for you.
If you would like to cook seafood on your own, Dona Choleng has a lot of outdoor grill area that can be used by guests for free. Buy seafood from the market (which is near the port) before going to the resorts. You may also buy from hawkers but usually these are more expensive.
Cagbalete is very child-friendly since the waters are very shallow. During low tide (which happens in the morning at the early months of the year), water is only up to waist deep at roughly 10 meters from the shore.
Dona Choleng staff setting up our tent.


The entry fee for playing in the tournament is 300SEK. If you are unemployed or a pensioner, or if you are playing as 10kyu or weaker the entry fee is reduced to 100SEK. Players attending their first tournament play for free. Please pay the entry fee cash in SEK or via Swish at the venue.
It is free to sleep at the venue, but there are only about 20 sleeping places at the venue to be booked on a first come first served basis. We will update the registration form when there are no more sleeping places available.
If you have any questions or problems with registration, please contact the Gothenburg go-club at gbg.goklubb@gmail.com.
I will arrange accommodation myself.
I want to sleep at the venue. I will bring my own sleeping bag or equivalent.


Combine pork, barbecue sauce and apple juice concentrate in large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until heated through, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples and cinnamon-sugar. Cook and stir 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender.
Divide pork mixture evenly over bottom half of rolls. Spoon cooked apples over pork. Cover with tops of rolls.

Who says nothing is sacred?
For 1500 years, Christians have used "sacred reading" or in Latin--Lectio Divina--as a way to tap into the power and vitality of God's Word. For ancient Christians such as St. Augustine, St. Francis, and others it was a pillar of one's daily relationship with God. Sound interesting? Learn how it works. Author and youth pastor Tony Jones explains the four steps of Lectio Divina: lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation). You'll be amazed at the profound impact this practice will have on your spiritual life. Includes 12 lectio divina exercises in the back with passages from The Message Remix.
Tony Jones is National Coordinator of Emergent, an organization that gathers innovative church leaders (www.emergentvillage.com). A graduate of Dartmouth (A.B., Classics) and Fuller Theological Seminary (M. Div.), Tony was a youth pastor for nearly a decade. He is currently a doctoral candidate and senior research fellow at Princeton Theological Seminary (estimated completion in 2008). Tony is a nationally recognized leader and published author in youth ministry and the emerging church movement. He serves on the National Working Group of the Faith as a Way of Life Project at Yale and is an active police chaplain in Edina, Minnesota. His primary interests lie in the intersection of faith with contemporary issues, practical theology, and the emerging church. Tony and his wife, Julie, live in Minnesota with their three children-Tanner, Lily, and Aidan-and a ninety-pound yellow Lab.

What to know about the expansion plans for Hong Kong International Airport
A third runway and better links to the Greater Bay Area will enable HKIA to handle 30 million more passengers a year by 2030
By Phil Heard / 10 Aug 2022
Since opening in 1998, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA ) has been recognised by flyers and industry experts as one of the best airports in the world. It's located within five hours of more than half of the world's population, and is itself located in the biggest developing air market in the world.
In pre-pandemic times, the airport was close to capacity and handled 72 million passengers a year and it remains the biggest international air cargo hub in the world. But projected growth in aviation will see passenger numbers increase to around 100 million by 2030. So there has been a clear case for Hong Kong airport expansion.
Credit: Moses Ng
What that means is the addition of a third runway, reclaimed from the sea. There will be a new infield terminal to serve more departure gates – 57 more, to be precise, which will be linked by an automated people mover to a newly developed Terminal Two, which is now closed for that redevelopment. On opening, for the first time passengers will be able to check-in and go airside without crossing over to Terminal One. Terminal Two will also be located in a new entertainment and retail development called Skycity .
Credit: Hong Kong International Airport
To compensate for the temporary annexation of Terminal Two, two additional check-in aisles in Terminal One were built to handle additional passengers during the construction phase. The Hong Kong airport expansion is also positive for our regional passengers. The new Sky Bridge links the remote terminal (North Satellite Concourse) which handled many of our short-haul services from Terminal One. This will eliminate the hassle of coach transfers, as well as offering a fantastic view over the airfield and the new third runway.
While the third runway was completed in July 2022, true three runway operations will not start until 2024. The existing north runway (the closest to the sea, but now the central runway) will be resurfaced, and it will need new taxiways to connect it to the new runway and terminal building.
Long story short: by 2024, HKIA will be as speedy as ever to use – and for even more travellers.

19.2 Sarfaraz Khan to Marcus Stoinis. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 2 runs, fielded by Rahul.
RCB finally get a win on the board. It has taken them seven games but their season is underway. It might be too late to get into the playoffs but their best players have stood up today and produced a fantastic chase. Virat Kohli hit a fine 67 while AB de Villiers finished unbeaten on 59 along with Marcus Stoinis (28 from 16).

19.1 FOUR! Sarfaraz Khan to Marcus Stoinis. Leg spinner length ball, to leg backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs.

18.6 SIX! Mohammed Shami to AB de Villiers. Full toss, outside off stump moves in front slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs.

17.2 FOUR! Andrew Tye to Marcus Stoinis. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Waits that little longer for the slower ball to come to him and slices it past point.

The fielder was already a few yards off the edge and he stood there waiting for the rocket off Kohli's bat to come his way.
FOUR! Sam Curran to AB de Villiers. Off cutter back of a length, down leg side moves in front Scoop, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs.
FOUR! Andrew Tye to Virat Kohli. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot working, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Tucked so easily off the pads. Kings XI need to break this partnership quickly.
