Canonbury escorts - London Areas
Canonbury is a residential district in the London Borough of Islington in the north of London. It is roughly in the area between Essex Road, Upper Street and Cross Street and either side of St Paul's Road. In 1253 land in the area was granted to the Canons of St Bartholomew's Priory, Smithfield and became known as Canonbury. The area continued predominantly as open land until it was developed as a suburb in the early 19th century.[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=275 'Islington: Growth: Canonbury', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 8: Islington and Stoke Newington parishes (1985), pp. 19-20] accessed: 3 May 2007 In common with similar inner London areas, it suffered decline when the construction of railways in the 1860s enabled commuting into the city from further afield. The gentrification of the area from the 1950s included new developments to replace war-damaged properties in Canonbury Park North and South as well as restoration of older buildings. East Canonbury is the south-eastern corner of the district, bordering on the Regents Canal. Parts of this area were transferred to the district from the London Borough of Hackney in a boundary adjustment (along the line of the northern tow-path of the canal), in 1993.[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si1993/Uksi_19931417_en_1.htm Statutory Instrument 1993 No. 1417] accessed 3 May 2007 In the east is the New River Estate (formerly the Marquess Estate), a 1,200 dwelling council estate, completed in 1976 on , and designed by Darbourne & Darke. A dark red brick, traffic free estate, it was praised as an example of municipal architecture, but achieved a bad reputation and has since been extensively redeveloped to improve security for residents.

*'''Canonbury Tower''' - The manor of Canonbury was constructed by William Bolton of St Bartholomew's Hospital between 1509 and 1532. At the dissolution of the monasteries it was granted to Thomas Cromwell. In the 1590s the manor was rebuilt by Sir John Spencer, Lord Mayor of the City of London, including the construction of its tower. The tower has been occupied by many historical figures, including Francis Bacon and Oliver Goldsmith. The Tower Theatre Company was based here from 1953 to 2003. It is currently used as a Masonic research centre.
*'''Canonbury Square''' - An attractive square, developed between 1805 and 1830, it includes a variety of distinct styles. In 1812, when few properties had been built, the New North Road turnpike, now known as Canonbury Road, was constructed and bisects the square. Many significant figures from the arts and literary worlds have lived on the square, including George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh and Samuel Phelps.
*'''The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art''' is in Canonbury Square.
*'''New River Walk''' - The New River (England), an aqueduct (watercourse) built by Sir Hugh Myddelton to supply fresh water to London, was completed in 1613. The walk is in two parts, with a break at Willowbridge. The southern section received an early National Lottery (United Kingdom) grant, and has a back-pumping scheme which simulates the water flow of the original aqueduct.

Few associations are as ingrained in Minnesotans' collective unconscious as the notion that the State Fair is a kid's last hurrah. Because who wants to think about school, what with the first day perhaps mere hours away?
It is, then, poetically subversive that for the second year running, the first day of the fair will feature STEM on a Stick, which threatens to drum up a little joy about the coming school year.
STEM, in case you spent your summer catching fly balls instead of reading the education-sector press, is an acronym for science, technology, math and engineering — four areas of study that are crucial to the health of Minnesota's economy and very much on the minds of K-12 educators.
Altogether 25 organizations will participate, which promises nearly twice as much fun as last year. STEMsters setting up tents at the Carousel Park include the 3M Visiting Wizards, the Bakken Museum, the Works (a hands-on kid fun factory located in Edina that's positively packed with STEM disguised as entertainment), the KidWind Project, Microsoft, the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota, Imation and a host of higher-ed types.
Oh yeah, and the fine folks from STEMCentral, aka St. Catherine University, will be there helping to coordinate the fun and talking about the $450,000 foundations associated with 3M, Medtronic and Boston Scientific just ponied up to support the school's unique National Center for STEM Elementary Education.
Just how are they going to wrap all of that learning around a stick? Is that physics, or engineering? You're going to have to show up to find out, Thursday, Aug. 25, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Carousel Park on the fairgrounds.
Baking, a State Fair competitive sport, is science. Estimating the number of cookies in those plastic tubs? That's math.
The new State Fair app? That's technology. Those machines that make the Tom Thumb doughnuts? OK, those probably were invented by Rube Goldberg — but still.
Demonstrations will take place on a stage in the park throughout the day. And in the wholly unlikely event you get bored, at least you'll wander the Fair's familiar grounds seeing through new, STEM-empowered eyes.

Culture, Zürich, Switzerland.
Zurich's Design & Culture Line 4
This tram line is Zurich's unofficial cultural line: tram no. 4 links some of Zurich's most important design, art, and culture institutions.
"Many highlights from Zurich's cultural life are lined up along the number 4 tram route like pearls on a string," says Christian Brändle. And the Director of the Museum für Gestaltung knows what he's talking about – after all, he regularly uses this tram line to get to his three museum buildings. They all lie along the route: the Toni-Areal In Zürich-West, the history-steeped main building near Zurich Main Station, and the Pavillon Le Corbusier on the shores of Lake Zurich.
The list below shows which cultural must-sees can be found along the number 4 tram route. Incidentally, the line also features various examples of art in public spaces (KiöR).
Museum für Gestaltung, Toni-Areal
Tram Stop: Toni-Areal
The journey begins in trendy Zurich-West, where the Museum für Gestaltung is both an exhibition site and an educational center, and looks at design in everyday life.
Freitag Tower
Tram Stop: Schiffbau
Near this stop, the colorful shipping containers of the Freitag flagship store tower up into the sky: a must-see for fans of the Zurich designer bag.
Löwenbräukunst-Areal
Tram Stop: Löwenbräu
The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, the Parkett Ausstellungsraum, the Hauser & Wirth and Francesca Pia galleries, and Edition Patrick Frei – this is where the top names in contemporary art can be found.
Museum für Gestaltung, Ausstellungsstrasse
Tram Stop: Museum für Gestaltung
Design, visual communication, and architecture are the focus at the main building of the Museum für Gestaltung – not far from Zurich Main Station.
Tram Stop: Bahnhofquai/HB
The highlights here are carefully curated exhibitions on cultural history, the spectacular building extension by Christ & Gantenbein, and the shop full of designer gems.
Musée Visionnaire
Tram Stop: Rudolf-Brun-Brücke
This museum in the heart of the Old Town presents Outsider Art – in rooms that, like the Kronenhalle Bar, were designed by architects Trix and Robert Haussmann.
Tram Stop: Rathaus
The doors of the Literaturhaus open directly next to the tram stop. This establishment celebrates the written word from all over the world through a variety of readings and concerts.
The Dadaists once staged their protests in the narrow, winding alleys of the Niederdorf. The building where this art movement was born still stands today on Spiegelgasse.
Helmhaus
Tram Stop: Helmhaus
The Helmhaus shows works by contemporary Swiss artists. And the in-house Kunstkiosk store is a haven for book lovers.
Kunsthaus Zürich
Tram Stop: Bellevue
On a journey through Zurich's art and cultural scene, a visit to the Kunsthaus is naturally a must. It is located just a stone's throw from the "Bellevue" tram stop.
Zurich Opera House
Tram Stop: Opera House
Art in musical and dance form can be found at the Opera House, which is hailed as one of the best in Europe.
John Jacobs Museum
Tram Stop: Feldeggstrasse
The beautiful building by the lake provides new insights into the past and present of our living environment. It regularly hosts exhibitions that provoke questions and encourage discoveries.
ZAZ Bellerive – Zurich Architecture Center
Tram Stop: Höschgasse
Housed in a beautiful villa, the ZAZ looks at architectural themes, but also organizes debates on urban and regional planning.
Pavillon Le Corbusier
The last work by the artist of the century, Le Corbusier, stands in a beautiful location directly on Lake Zurich.
Mühlerama
Tram Stop: Wildbachstrasse
The art of baking perfect bread is the main objective of the Mühlerama baking school, which, together with a museum and museum store, is located at the terminus of tram line no. 4.

IPT Essentials (Interpersonal Psychotherapy), course reviews.
The Association for Psychological Therapies prides itself on the written feedback we receive for our courses. Below is just some of the great reviews the IPT Essentials (Interpersonal Psychotherapy) course has received.
"A fantastic course, full of relevant, inspiring information which will hopefully be applicable to many of the women we care for. I have found the learning enjoyable and look forward to taking this approach forward."
Course Delegate
"Really enjoyable course. Well presented, well-paced, and full of relevant information."
"Very interesting and engaging course which is very relevant to my current practice. It is good that the course takes into consideration your own learning style and there is no pressure to ask questions etc."
"A 'both feet on the ground' psychotherapy training! 10/10."
"I never thought a 3-day course would flyby so fast and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone working in mental health or training as a psychiatrist."
Liam Kennedy, Psychiatry
"I feel confident to be able to implement into practice. I feel like it has really enhanced my knowledge and would like the opportunity of attending further courses."
Leanne Simpson, CAMHS Practitioner
"A very interesting course – very relevant to my new role. The course was delivered brilliantly in a user friendly way. I found drawing on personal experiences very helpful as well as role play (even though I didn't speak out loud I was able to see which direction I would take as the role play continued)."
Kirsty Hayton-Kylie, CAMHS Practitioner
"Excellent delivery of the course. Clear explanations given, examples used to demonstrate the practice application and good use of materials."
Amanda Wood, CAMHS Practitioner
"Really interesting. Great to be doing some therapy training. I got a lot from it."
Cathy Pettitt, MHP
"I really enjoyed these two days. I feel more empowered and stronger in my personal competencies."
Gill Burgess, Mental Health Practitioner
"I feel that the course was expertly adapted to meet the needs of the audience of MHPS. The tutor's style was warm and approachable ... Thank you for an invigorating course."
Claire McMyler, Mental Health Practitioner
IPT Essentials (Interpersonal Psychotherapy).
An exposition on Interpersonal Psychotherapy, in a way that enables and encourages delegates to use it in their practice.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy is a brief psychological therapy for depression, which has now been applied to other areas of mental health. Its goals are simple and practical, namely to reduce symptomatology and to improve social functioning. Interpersonal psychotherapy is recommended in NICE guidelines, notably for the treatment of depression. This is only as it should be because IPT hit the headlines as long ago as 1989 in Elkin et al's massive NIMH study which demonstrated the IPT was the only psychological therapy to effect severe depression (in spite of the inclusion of CBT in the study). On spite of this, and in spite of its strong evidence base, IPT is not as widely practiced as perhaps it should be.
This course therefore focuses primarily on teaching delegates how to deliver IPT or, more precisely, how to incorporate the ideas and methods of IPT into their practice, to the degree they wish to. It also covers a little on the background and the evidence base, but its prime focus is to familiarise mental health practitioners with the ideas and methods of IPT.
Feedback Ratings.
We continuously monitor the quality of our training by obtaining feedback on the two key scales of relevance and presentation from every course delegate. Below are the average ratings for the last six runnings of this course, which are updated periodically.

Recently the work generator has been paused because the server needs extended database maintenance (there is a significant amount of workunits stuck in unknown state, which affect performance).
I'm also running data analysis on all the results returned so far, the process eats a lot of resources so probably the work generator will remain stopped until the data analysis is done.
"AN LEITUNG VON U BOOT STUETZPUNKT WILHELMSHAVEN: FUNKTELEGRAMM EINS ZWO ZWO VIER HIER MIT RHV GELOEST"
"[To] Control from Submarine Base Wilhelmshaven: Radio message 1224 solved with RHV"
The company which is hosting part of my server (download mirror, domain and a few other things) announced that my VPS will be moved to another location (datacenter) on 18th of April.
The IP address is going to be changed so I think the server will be unavailable for at least couple of hours, maybe up to a day.
Tomorrow (04.03.2013) around 08:00 GMT the server will go offline for 12-24 hours.
The reason for this is hardware replacement, the old server barely keeps up running under load and has serious performance issues.
The swap is going to take a while because I need to copy data from both old drives, I hope that 'dd' image will do the trick.
Few months ago one of the participants proposed a set of graphical badges for the project, since then a couple of designs (which can be viewed here: http://www.boincatpoland.org/smf/enigmahome-78/propozycje-odznak-dla-enigmahome/) were made by BOINC@Poland members.
I'm going to implement the badges before the end of this year (or early 2012 in the worst case), next week I'll make a poll which will decide which one of the sets will be used, so there is still some time if anyone else would like to submit another set of icons.
Also I'd be glad to hear opinions on the amount of credits needed for badges, considering the fact that (at least for now) it's a project with with just one app.
Today morning the server went down unexpectedly most probably due to power failure. A bit later it was automatically restarted in disabled mode because at least one of the database tables needs to be repaired.
The server will be up again today, however it has to wait a couple of hours because I do not have access at this moment.
After a few weeks of testing, I decided to update the Windows application to the latest development version.
V5.26 fixes all bugs related to progress indicator and checkpoint reporting, as well as many other minor glitches. If it doesn't work for some reason on your system, please let me know.
5.26 for Linux is coming soon.
Check out the forum thread to read more details.
Due to the large amount of spammers creating profiles with stupid ads, I had to enable server's built-in spam protection - right now it requires the user to have certain minimum of credits to create profile, I've set it to 100.
I have released a small number of test workunits to check the server software. Read more in this forum thread.
The project server will be shut down tomorrow (26th Feb) around 12:00pm GMT+1 for a quick database optimization, the downtime shouldn't last longer than 2 hours.
BOINC 6.6.0 alpha for Mac is now available at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php. This version fixes wrong file permissions issues with Enigma@Home (and probably any other project which uses copy_file flag). Also, BOINC dev-team could use some more Mac alpha testers, if anyone would like to become an alpha tester, please read here about it: http://isaac.ssl.berkeley.edu/alpha/.
Today (11 December) around 1pm GMT+2 the server will be shut down for a short period of time (around 1~2 hours), because one of the databases has to be moved to new hard drive.
I'm going to shutdown one of the servers to replace faulty network card. The BOINC server will stay online, however the work generator will be stopped so it's possible that the server will run out of work.
Starting at early February, the project will be out of work for some time, please read this forum thread for more details.
Lars Bausch has compiled both enigma and wrapper for MacOS running on Intel and PowerPC CPUs. There are some minor issues with these apps, but returned results are valid. Please report any problems on message boards.
I'm going to shutdown the server tomorrow (31.10.2007) at 7:30pm GMT to do a full upgrade to the latest SVN revision. The server will be down for a couple of hours, during this time only forum will be accessible, I'll make a post there with informations about progress.
The project has changed its url to http://www.enigmaathome.net. While the old url will still work, it is suggested (although by no means required) that you detach the project and reattach to http://www.enigmaathome.net, you might also have to log in again on the project's page. Should you experience any problems, please contact us at forum .
Today at 6:30pm GMT I'll shutdown the server to do a full backup and database cleanup. The server will be offline for about 2-3 hours, during first 30 minutes website may be offline.
Few days ago I put experimental linux app online. It should work on most modern linux distributions. It uses enigma executable compiled with -march=pentium3, (gcc 3.2), so it may not work on older CPUs, I haven't checked that yet. If you want to try it out, please remember, that you have to chmod +x enigma_0.76_i686-pc-linux-gnu manually (it's inside project's dir) after you attach to project. For some reason, BOINC does not do that automatically. EDIT: I think it's fixed now.
At this time, only Windows platform is supported. Linux client coming soon. Server looks stable, but please keep in mind, that it's alpha test and anything can happen. Expect a lot of errors and crashes ;) Check this link for a list of known problems.

Little Big Brothers: A Tiresome Evening with Greenwald, Schneier, Bamford and Dorfman at Fordham Law
Glenn Greenwald appears on the big screen via Skype. He says he can't come back to the US for fear of "persecution". A letter sent by a congressman to Eric Holder inquiring whether he would be arrested if he returned didn't get the answer he wanted. (C) Photo by Catherine A. Fitzpatrick
Last night I went to the program "They're Watching Us: So What" at Fordham University Law School's Center for National Security -- which is an activist bunch working for the insecurity of an American government they loathe, and empowerment of bands of anarchists who advocate absolute encryption of themselves without accountability or accessibility of law enforcement.
If they think they are not those things, and not working for those things, they aren't paying attention.
The video is here.
There weren't any practicing lawyers on the speaker's platform however, and there was no legal analysis -- nor any real case actually made -- during the entire evening.
It was appalling.
It was also boring.
I've been following this topic so closely that when I hear these speakers already very familiar to me in all their permutations go through very simplistic arguments that they think they need to descend to for large audiences like these, it really gets dull and frustrating.
I'll be honest -- I even fell asleep almost during James Bamford's talk.
Not only were they simplistic, they were old. At least the kids like Trevor Trimm and Chris Soghoian have a little more life to them when they speak. Bamford is 67; Schneier is 50; Ariel Dorfperson, as we used to call him affectionately in the 1980s, is 71. These are old guys, reliving their battles of the 1960s and 1980s. I suspect the panel was convened in haste. It was co-sponsored by PEN Club, and I suspect PEN was put under pressure from members to take this on.
A very, very thin and superficial survey was put out by PEN opportunistically to fit with the headlines, commissioned by some firm that probably got a big fee, that canvassed the subjective feelings of PEN members. They "felt" they were under surveillance and they "thought" this chilled them, but not any evidence of anything but hysteria and "hate the Man" sort of 1960s antagonism was evident anywhere. It was embarassing.
The title of the panel was "They're Watching Us: So What?" But the "so what" part was left to the bored students in the audience, not the panelists who never engaged with this critique with anything remotely like intellectual honesty. I find it especially appalling when universities have evenings like this that are so horridly politicized and biased -- ending, of all things, with a black activist woman getting up and demanding that Obama be impeached because of Snowden's revelations about the NSA -- which about half the audience wildly applauded. I think even the lefty radical organizers were made a bit uncomfortable by this rabble-rousing.
Most of the people in the audience in fact were old like the speakers. They were hipsters, hippies, old professors, old Upper West Side socialists who have been around for ages. To be sure, there were actual young students, but they were only there with "continuous partial attention" as it is called. One man next to me was studying his history class notes, of all things, about the Soviet Army. The girl to the other side seemed to be taking notes on the talk but not really, checking her email or Facebook or whatever. Others were glued to their phones or i-Pads doing other things.
Suzanne Nossel, who is now director of PEN Club, chaired the meeting. And I was quite disappointed in her own lack of intellectual rigour on this subject. She is a former Obama Administration official who worked on international organizations and human rights, and was particularly active on the 16/18 resolution, for example, which was an effort by the Obama Administration to capitalize on the liberalization of the Arab Spring and work with former antagonist Egypt. They came up with a resolution about hatred and racism that would NOT constitiute a global blasphemy law or accept the discredited notion of "defamation of religion," which is what the Organization for Islamic Community wanted out of it. (BTW, it's funny to see Lee Stranahan tackling this with such vigour now as the root cause of Benghazi -- I appreciate his effort to get to the bottom of the story, but he's gotten it wrong, because it was delivered to him in a tendentious context -- it's actually failure to apply the language and formulations of 16/18 by the US Embassy in Cairo over the hate video that created the problems -- the resolution in fact is based on US Supreme Court language about "incitement of imminent violence" precisely so that general criticism of theocratic states is not something that is then declared as "defamation of religion".)
For personal reasons, Nossel, famous for writing a book about American "smart power" and even credited with coining the term, which is an outgrowth of the term "soft power", left Obamaland after the first Obama term. She then went to serve as Amnesty International's executive director at a time when the organization was suffering hugely from a devastating loss of contributions and frankly the fallout from Amnesty headquarters completely losing its way in the post 9/11 wilderness and taking up defense of jihad.
Nossel was supposed to get it back on track with donors and the public, and might have done so, had she not fallen victim to a very vicious and concerted claque of people who tried to smear her as somehow sanctioning drones and other dubious acts of the Obama Administration, even though she had nothing to do with those programs and was strictly in the human rights efforts of diplomacy. That may be no excuse for some, but it is an important distinction and she herself is a "progressive" that the hard left seems to take particularly delight in pushing and destroying. It didn't help that she is Jewish, and was accused unfairly of over-protectiveness of Israel which also wasn't the case (and saying so is a form of antisemitism, quite frankly) -- she was simply for not singling Israel out unfairly at the UN, where alone among nations it has its own agenda item at the Human Rights Council where countries like Russia or China or Iran or Sudan or Pakistan, which have killed many times more insurgents as well as innocents, are left to hold sway with impunity.
While NGOs surely appreciated her role at State in an Administration where the President does not have a single human rights bone in his body, Nossel was not popular at AI for having to cut staff and make other austerity measures needed at Amnesty, which is still far from fixed -- and she was hounded out of the organization, something I find absolutely disgraceful of Amnesty and its board. Former government officials may not make the best NGO leaders (and it works the other way, too, you know), but the board knew that going in, and shouldn't have hired her in the first place if the had problems with "I have a drone" Obama and her associations.
I don't know if weathering that sectarianism and viciousness at Amnesty -- entire hate pages were posted about poor Nossel by rabid idiots -- made her quick to jump and respond with the politically-correct program around Snowden just as soon as a few lefty and radical PEN members began to bark. I suspect that may have been how it happened, but I don't know. I think it's probably more likely that in her "progressiveness," she thinks Snowden is right. Working at the US Embassy in Geneva during the Human Rights Council sessions, maybe she even knew Snowden or heard of him, as he used to work there.
In any event, she's totally drunk the Greenwald Kool-aid, and it's a sad sight. Other members of PEN should complain about this one-sided approach by their fellow members, so that the director does not feel whipsawed by a few loudmouths. There are no findings. There are no cases, as I'm always saying; machine reading of meta data is not an intrusion in privacy and not the compilation of a dossier.
Glenn Greenwald was beamed in on a screen via Skype to wild applause and cheers -- Skype, which was said to be full of security holes and backdoors long before Microsoft, but he just had to knock Microsoft, taking a star turn to dis The Man in Big It. There he hung in the air, like the old 1984 Apple ad about Big Brother, and he himself realized that's exactly how he looked, and called himself Little Big Brother-- at least Cory Doctorow, another insufferable ass, has a little more humility and calls himself Little Brother.
Greenwald made the worst, most lame argument that the crypto kids always make -- I've heard it a hundred times on Twitter. He took up the argument that frankly probably reflected the thoughts of some of the students in the hall who didn't clap wildly for him or anybody ("battle of who could care less"). If they weren't doing anything wrong, if they were just a little guy, why should they care if the government saw their email out of a gadzillion numbers of files?
"Hey," he said in his usual snotty tone. "If you feel that way, give me all your passwords to all your accounts and I'll be sure to mine them for something that will compromise you and publish it."
Except...the governent doesn't do that.
If the government scans my email by some fluke -- perhaps I'm six hops away from a terrorist or a spy -- it doesn't delve into the content unless it has a warrant or it feels that the case is serious enough to fit under FISA rules of warrantless surveillance.
And even if it does scan my mail, it does not publish it.
It doesn't try to smear and embarass me as Glenn promises to do with anybody who thinks government surveillance isn't a big deal, and is willing to give him their password.
I really wish more people would stand up to him when he makes that utterly dishonest argument.
In fact, there isn't a single case brought to light by Greenwald from Snowden's material publicizing anybody's private communications. There isn't a case where the government publicized something they purloined from email to embarass or silence someone. No one can show that, at all. This is not COINTELPRO as I've said a hundred times. (Read my timeline for an interminable debate on this very subject with a rather dense individual named Andy Downs who has a major grievance with the FBI -- an agent shot dead his father, a pilot, when he was trying to rescue hostages who had forced his father to fly a small plane. From this case of 40 years ago, which isn't anything like a COINTELPRO case but is just his own case of excessive force/ failure to follow procedures -- a case he doesn't seem to have -- Downs tries to claim that there are concrete cases now of the NSA watching people and harming them. It's truly sad, but it's typical of the emotional blackmail we constantly face on this topic by people with agendas trying to tie them to the NSA.)
It's really terrible watching the feeble minds -- and the conniving manipulators like Greenwald -- going through these really flawed and lame arguments that smart professors at a place like Fordham should be decimating. Very worrisome. The "give me your password and I'll publish all your stuff if you don't think it matters" is especially manipulative yet stupid because the government doesn't publish what it sees -- or "sees" only in a mechanical sense.
Manipulators like Greenwald try to capture the predictably emotional reaction people would have at the thought of "the world" seeing their private communications, and tries to exploit that to bring them around to taking an antagonistic position about meta-data dredging. But meta-data dredging doesn't involve naming and shaming you in public; it doesn't even involve human eyes looking at your mail; chances are your mail isn't even involved if you aren't in fact related in some way to foreign spies or terrorists, even distantly.
Greenwald is intellectually dishonest and in fact committing malpractice as a journalist if not a lawyer when he makes this hugely contrived argument. More people have to say what I've been saying to him: OK, Glenn, bring it. I'll give you my passwords, but here's the thing. You have to do exactly what the government does, then. As you've reported that it does! You have to NOT PUBLISH IT. After all, we don't know the CONTENT of Merkel's phone, do we? And you may store it and mine it -- but only with key words or numbers drawn from terrorists and other criminal suspects.
What the government does NOT do -- you haven't proven that it has -- is mine our stuff, pick out things to harass and humiliate us,and then publish them.
That's what Jeremy Hammond does, and that's why he has 10 years in prison.
I really worry that we are dealing with mass hysteria here, where even very smart people who have done decent work like Suzanne Nossel are captured by this contrived bullshit. It's terribly wrong.

Ariel Dorfman, an old lefty from the past who survived Pinochet, gave a moving and stark depiction of life in Chile when people had REAL concerns about government surveillance insead of the yuppie ones that Americans have now. He showed scenes of prisons with wires used to spy on people and described all the chilling effect it had on the soul and the literal relationships of life. To his credit, although he is an old socialist antagonist of capitalist US government for ages, Dorfman didn't make fatuous comparisons between a real society of oppression like Pinochet's Chile, at least for communists and socialists, and the United States today. He's too decent for that.

Less so everybody around him on the panel, and in the audience. That's the problem. His job was to provide the "Global South" contingent to this lily-white panel of North Americans, and he did the job admirably.
You can watch the video linked above, but meanwhile, let me note how awful Schneier is. I'm a long-time critic, and he, like so many of these cryptos, was indeed worse in real life than on the Internet.
First of all, Schneier has a scraggly pony-tail -- and perhaps that tells you all you need to know or perhaps not -- of the thread-bare revolutionary hopes of the 1960s and 1970s, but when seen in just frontal pictures, it doesn't show, so you don't realize he's a hippie/hipster right away (he is). While I was sitting too far away to be sure, he also seemed to be wearing a paisley shirt. He's one of those very intense, wiry, constantly blinking individuals who stares at people in exasperation because they are stupider than he is, and keeps arguing and arguing until they shut up, convinced, even if they aren't, that they are stupider -- or at least, have no right to object.
A man who seemed to be a professor whined during the Q&A that students didn't seem to care. He was on Schneier's side! He was on all their sides! And yet Schneier seemed irritated to get this message, and Greenwald made a contrived explanation that even people who seem like they don't care are taking steps to change the settings on their Facebook and reining themselves in.
That same man came up to Schneier afterwards and kept pushing -- what could be done about these apathetic students who wouldn't riot over this as they were supposed to? Schneier was totally exasperated -- almost crawling out of his skin. And this was a guy who agreed with him! He made this convoluted statement about how young people don't even realize that they care but they care and that we have to assume that.
Oh, we do? But what if they don't? Most young people who don't want to be seen in public don't go on Twitter or Facebook. They chat on their phones either in voice or text with various apps there. If the government is dredging them, they don't seem to care. They are far, far more worried about other friends cutting and pasting them, or employers or schools getting ahold of their comms than the NSA. Just ask them. I have. That's what they say.
Then it was my turn to try to get some semblance of an answer out of Schneier. As it was crowded and several pushy people had literally pushed in front of me to start talking, I decided to keep it simple and not ask a more elaborate question about the contradictions and omissions in his article about Tor in the Guardian where he never addressed the latest research of Tor's original developers, which indicates that it is pretty much hosed and third parties can see the "hidden" conversations with enough tries.
Instantly, I could tell I was dealing with someone who was very, very used to hearing the sound of his own voice being right, and who would be impossible to try to get to hear any alternative to his own hackneyed arguments. Indeed, he assumed a pained expression as if he were "on mission" when I asked him if he believed in absolute encryption.
He said "to the extent possible."
When I said, "what about law-enforcement, should it be kept from them as well,"
"Yes, absolutely," he said. I've always said that Schneier is destructive of civil society and ultimately helps totalitarianism.
"But what about all the criminals on Tor, the child pornographers, the drug dealers, the violent activists?"
Then he assumed his bossy, imperious shtick and began informing me about how any society has bad guys. Why, any roads will have their criminals on them.
"But Tor is a community," I said. "It's no good claiming any society has it; they should have accountability about their own community."
He seemed to concede this, but then kept talking about roads. This is a super bad analogy that the arrogant Chris Soghoian of the ACLU also uses on people he talks to like children. All these cryptologists do this I've noticed. They think if they are talking to lay people, they have to speak to them as if they are five years old.
"But police have access to roads, and cars have license plates," I countered to his lame example -- which had succeeded far, far too many times with gullible people -- that Tor was just like "a road" and therefore might have any sort of traffic on it -- pirates, child pornographers, Iranian dissidents, whatever. I reject that analogy because roads can be controlled and police do control them precisely because they have access to them. You can't speed, or drink or text while driving, or spill toxic waste on the road and expect to get away with it or to be anonymous. Tor is not like a road; it is nothing like a road.
"But you say NSA has undermined standards and has backdoors, and yet Tor is uncrackable although developed by the government" I said. This got drowned out.
"Let me try once again," he assumed a superior look of long-suffering resignation, as if dealing with a particularly dull child. "You will always have bad guys..."
"How is law-enforcement going to get through absolute encryption to lawfully, with a warrant, go after them, when you have people like Ladar at Lavabits claiming he can't cooperate at all or "structural" reasons (ridiculous, of course, as I've indicated, as he could have taken up the government's offer to filter out only Snowden's mail).
Scheier had no answer. That's because he views it as not his problem, and views The Man and his "overreach" as the problem.
And no one ever, ever confronts him. Not on panels like this. Not anywhere -- although in fact a PEN intern at the NYU conference I also covered asked this VERY question and got at least a bit more of a modulated answer from that panel.
Schneier wouldn't talk to me anymore, but some beefy elderly man began bitching at me that the government was watching us all and I was part of the problem.
"But they aren't. Meta-data dragging isn't personally watching with sense," I countered.
The man went into an absolute ballistic rage. He was red and screaming. A woman next him, also elderly, 60s, from the 60s in her ire, began screaming at me that we had a "Nazi government" and "this was just like the Nazis" and I was "part of this"
Oh, please. I want to save the word "Nazis" for you, know, the real Nazis who killed Jews -- first beginning by smashing the windows of their stores, then dragging to gas chambers to be massacred.
I don't want to use that word for somebody who scanned my email to see if it matched a terrorist's. Truly I don't.
I shouted back at this woman that I had suffered more loss of my privacy from Google and especially Anonymous than anything the NSA could dream up, but she, too, was in a total frenzy. Look, I'm telling you that we are dealing with mass hysteria here. It does not seem possible to stop, even in a college at a lecture in an auditorium.
I realized that was how the 1960s were, the rage and people pushing through and occupying offices, and no one listened to reason. In that atmosphere, reasoned discourse is impossible -- especially when the people on the stage are utterly uncritical.
Of course, right before that, we had the middle-aged black woman get up and call for impeachment of Obama, who was "just like Bush". Good Lord. The entire hall erupted with wild cheering and applause, just as they had done for Greenwald. Awful. What have you wrought, PEN Club?!
Ben Doernberg with his "Stop Watching Us" t-shirt -- which I have mashed up as Stop Hacking Us here. (C) Photo by Catherine A. Fitzpatrick
Except, as I said, not everybody. Desperately trying to get their attention as they headed to the exits, a young man got up waving a clipboard and said he was gathering addresses to take part in Restore the Fourth to "take action" about "the issues" of that evening. It was Ben Doernberg. Nobody seemed to come up. I wandered away to get in line to ask Schneier a question,and when I left about 10 minutes later, I saw a forlorn Doernberg standing by a table in the foyer with only one middle-aged lady reluctantly signing her name.
"You demonstration was pathetic, it had 2 1/2 people at it," I cried. He recognized me, and I don't know how -- probably from his Internet sleuthing to find my picture, as I don't think he could pick me out in a coat and scarf from my Twitter photo in half shade by a lamp.
"Am I going to be joining something that nobody comes to?" the woman began to ask fretfully. It was a hilarious moment.
"You took close-up photos of the handful of demonstrators to make them look like there were more!" I cried.
Ben urged me to come and "sit down and talk with him." But no. I don't get into manipulated little fake peacey things like that with the cadres. They can take it to my blog.
"I don't mind if you criticize, as long as you don't make personal attacks," whined Ben. Such a little wimp.
"The personal is political as the 1960s could have told you, and they aren't personal attacks anyway but legitimate criticism, so stop it," I pointed out. Kids today are such wimps!
I asked him if I could surveil him -- surveillance has now become a new verb, sounding French and exciting, n'est-ce pas? -- and he consented. I hope Ben grows up and finds something more worthwhile to do with his life.
Meanwhile, at Game Stop and Best Buy down the street, people were lining up for their PS4s. I suspect they don't care that the Internet harvests their data and maybe the NSA blindly sieves it.

Both Brent and WTI have declined by around 20% from the four-year highs they reached in early October.
Oil-marketing companies slashed the prices of petrol across the four metro cities on Friday. Petrol was priced at Rs. 78.06 per litre in New Delhi, Rs. 79.98 per litre in Kolkata, Rs. 83.57 per litre in Mumbai and Rs. 81.08 per litre in Chennai, according to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). Diesel was sold at Rs. 72.74 per litre in New Delhi, Rs. 74.60 per litre in Kolkata, Rs. 76.22 per litre in Mumbai and Rs. 76.89 per litre in Chennai. Petrol and diesel rates are decided on a daily basis by oil-marketing companies on the basis of the rupee-dollar rate and global crude oil prices.
Globally, oil markets on Friday remained weak as rising supply and concerns of an economic slowdown pressured prices, with U.S. crude now down by around 20 per cent since early October, reported news agency Reuters.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures were at $65.60 per barrel in intraday trade, down 4 cents, or 0.1 per cent from their last settlement. WTI is set to fall for a fifth week, down 4.1 per cent so far this week.
Front-month Brent crude oil futures were at $70.69 a barrel, 4 cents above their last close. Brent is set for a 2.9 per cent drop for the week, its fifth straight week of declines.
Both Brent and WTI have declined by around 20 per cent from the four-year highs they reached in early October.

Q: Regex to check if String is one word in Java I need regex to check if String has only one word (e.g. "This", "Country", "Boston ", " Programming ").
So far I used an alternative way of doing it which is to check if String contains spaces. However, I am sure that this can be done using regex.
One possible way in my opinion is "^\w{2,}\s". Does this work properly? Are there any other possible answers?

A: The pattern ^\w{2,}\s matches 2 or more word characters from the start of the string, followed by a mandatory whitespace char (that can also match a newline)
As the pattern is also unanchored, it can also match Boston in Boston test
If you want to match a single word with as least 2 characters surrounded by optional horizontal whitespace characters using \h* and add an anchor $ to assert the end of the string.
^\h*\w{2,}\h*$

Regex demo
In Java
String regex = "^\\h*\\w{2,}\\h*$";

Hera buckmoth
Hemileuca hera (Harris, 1841)
Family: Saturniidae
Subfamily: Hemileucinae
Identification: Wings are white with black markings including a black crescent-shaped cell spot on each wing. Subspecies marcata (southern Oregon and northern California) has the black markings much reduced. Subspecies magnifica (northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, southern Colorado) is larger than the others and has darker, heavier markings.
Life History: Adults emerge in early morning and are day fliers, mating in late morning. Females lay eggs in rings around twigs of host plants. Eggs overwinter and hatch from April-June. Young caterpillars feed together while older ones feed alone. Fully-grown caterpillars overwinter in loose cocoons in the leaf litter or in burrows in soft soil. Adults emerge from July-September, but at high elevations and northern latitudes, the cocoons overwinter and adults emerge in the spring.
Caterpillar Hosts: Basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and sand sagebrush (A. filifolia).
Adult Food: Adults do not feed.
Habitat: Great Basin sagebrush communities, pinyon-juniper woodland, and subalpine sagebrush meadows.
Range: Great Basin area from southwestern Saskatchewan west to southeastern British Columbia; south to western Colorado, central Utah, and central Nevada. Subspecies marcata is in southern Oregon and northern California, while subspecies magnifica occurs in northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southern Colorado.

I'll reshare two pictures from a July 2010 post that showed that the Carlsons and the Macys fed our families off the same Pfaltzgraff dishes back in the day.
Nearly two years after passing along most of those dishes to the two local Macy families, we hardly think about them anymore.
Yesterday, after taking Rachel and Oscar to the airport, Mauri and I stopped at Arleta Library Cafe for some breakfast. We ordered something slathered in sausage gravy, which covered our plates.
You can see I had to eat half of it before I could see I was eating on old familiar family dishes and had to take a picture (looks a little unappetizing but was delish!) It's the little things, you know.
Bonus: If you want to see where we ate and how the sweet potato biscuits and sausage gravy were made, check out this Diners, Drive-in, and Dives video.

Contribution margin indicates how much profit you are earning on the goods or services you sell, without accounting for your company's fixed costs or operating costs. To calculate it, subtract variable costs from sales.
A company might have a product line with a positive contribution margin even if its impact to net profit is negative. The contribution margin it generates helps pay for fixed costs. If its contribution margin is negative, however, the company loses money with each unit it produces. Since it can't make up that kind of loss with volume, it should either drop the product line or increase prices.
Contribution margin is sales minus variable costs. It shows the profit you are earning on what you sell before you account for fixed costs.
Contribution margin analysis helps managers compare products, make decisions about whether to add or subtract a product line, decide how to price a product or service, and even how to structure sales commissions.

There has been much talk lately about the food waste problem, but less about solutions. The focus of this webinar will be on existing programs and solutions implemented by four public entities that can serve as models for other public and private programs as well. Topics covered include program development and evolution, lessons learned, and solutions that may be applicable to other cities and programs.
Learn why and how San Francisco has implemented mandatory composting resulting in 99% of all properties compliant in having service. Hear the challenges and lessons that you can learn to utilize this model for food and organics recovery.
Discussion will include the timeline going from a pilot to drop-offs to the citywide residential organics recycling program and share educational tactics to encourage participation in the program. The City's residential program has less than 1% contamination due to their continued educational efforts.

Discussion will focus on Austin's Universal Recycling Ordinance's Organics Diversion component, upcoming studies, and the results of a commercial organics diversion baseline study.


Small NUC form factor, dustproof, ventless, industrial-grade fanless observatory computer.
Unlike other available NUC-based computers, the MC-100 is completely fanless, protecting against dust or other debris in observatory applications. Removing the fan also removes a point of failure, creating a solid state solution with no moving parts that will outlast commercial NUCs and desktops. In addition, the use of passive cooling reduces the potential for vibration and eliminates all noise.
The single-interface heatsink provides optimal heat transfer, further improving cooling performance over other similar cases.
Measuring 142 x 62 x 107 mm ( 5.6" x 2.4" x 4.2") and approximately 2.0 pounds, the MC-100 is small enough and light enough for discreet placement in space-constrained observatory environments including scope-top applications.
The one-piece extruded aluminum top creates an optimal surface for efficient heat dissipation. An EMI gasket reduces the risk of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
Power can be supplied from any 12VDC power source with at least 3.0 amps. The power connector is a standard 2.5mm barrel connector.
We can also provide custom configurations, like the one seen below that was put together for the Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station. Custom configurations can include complete custom scope-top systems with the computer and other observatory equipment, mountings, custom-length cables, etc. Contact us for complete custom systems.

Canon EOS-1D C — профессиональный цифровой зеркальный фотоаппарат семейства Canon EOS с 18,1 Мп сенсором. Представлен 12 апреля 2012 года, ещё до появления Canon EOS-1D X в продаже, и вместе с EOS-1D X объединил сразу две линейки: репортёрскую EOS 1D и студийную полнокадровую EOS 1Ds. Основным отличием 1D C от 1D X стала возможность съёмки видео в формате 4K (с разрешением 4096 × 2160).

Начало продаж фотоаппарата было намечено на март 2013 года, предварительно объявленная стоимость — 15000 долларов США (в отличие от объявленной стоимости Canon EOS-1D X в 6800 долларов США).

В камере применена полнокадровая КМОП-матрица формата (36 × 24 мм) с эффективным разрешением 18,1 млн пикселей. Это позволило обеспечить более быстрый съём данных с матрицы и увеличить светочувствительность, но отчасти только для фотографий. Во время записи видео с разрешением 4K (4096 х 2160 пикселей) изображение формируется с помощью функции кадрирования: из центра полнокадрового сенсора считывается часть изображения размером APS-H — используется часть фотосенсора с линейными размерами в 1,3 раза меньшими, чем у 35-мм кадра, что приводит в свою очередь к кроп-фактору, также с коэффициентом 1,3. Позволяет во время записи с частотой в 24р или 25р без даунскейлинга в  Motion JPEG выводить несжатый видеосигнал в разрешении до Full HD (1920 x 1080) в формате 8-бит YCbCr 4:2:2 по интерфейсу HDMI. Прямая запись на карты CF возможна в 8-бит 4:2:0 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 IBP или ALL-I.

В ноябре 2013 года Canon объявила, что 1D C стала первой DSLR-камерой, получившей сертификат HD Tier 1 Европейского вещательного союза и признанной пригодной для ТВ-вещания в HD.

Особенности модели

Совместно с Canon EOS-1D C можно использовать более 60 объективов из линейки Canon EF, при этом поддерживается логарифмическая гамма-коррекция Canon Log Gamma для расширения динамического диапазона записываемого материала, что позволяет на этапе продакшена сохранить большее количество информации в самых светлых и самых тёмных участках изображения, а на этапе постпродакшена производить более качественную цветокоррекцию материала.

Расширенный диапазон чувствительности ISO от 50 до 204800 единиц может устанавливаться автоматически или вручную, что позволяет вести съёмку как при ярком солнце, так и при практически полной темноте.

Имеется функция зеркалирования изображения на основном ЖК-экране при передаче сигнала по HDMI, что позволяет удобно совместно работать оператору и фокус-пуллеру или одному оператору во время трансляций. Дополнительными преимуществами во время съёмки являются наличие микрофонного входа Jack 3,5 мм и выхода на наушники Jack 3,5 мм.

В 1D C используется тот же аккумулятор, что и в 1D X, LP-E4N. Как и во всех других полнокадровых цифровых зеркальных полнокадровых камерах Canon, в 1D C нет встроенной вспышки, на её месте располагается разъём для подключения микрофона.

ПО EOS Utility и Picture Style Editor позволяют пользователю настраивать камеру и управлять ей удалённо с помощью компьютера через USB-кабель или сетевой Ethernet-кабель.

Как в Canon EOS 5D Mark III и Canon EOS-1D X имеется 61-точеная система автофокусировки, а также 100-килопиксельный сенсор для матричного режима измерения экспозиции по 252 зонам, дополненного системой обнаружения лиц. Видоискатель имеет увеличение 0,76х со 100 % охватом кадра.

Беспроводной передатчик файлов WFT-E6 (имеются версии A, B, C, D и E) позволяет по беспроводному каналу управлять камерой, передавать файлы на компьютер по FTP, на DLNA-совместимые телевизоры. А также позволяет запускать съёмку на ведомых камерах и обмениваться данными с устройствами GPS посредствомBluetooth версии v2.1 +EDR.

Конкуренты
 Canon EOS-1D X Mark II — $5999
 Nikon D4S — $5996,95
 Nikon D5 — $6496,95
 Blackmagic Design URSA 4.6K — $6995
 Canon EOS C300 — $6999
 Sony PXW-FS7 — $7999

Известные проблемы
Отзыву или бесплатному гарантийному ремонту подлежат камеры со следующими известными дефектами:
 автофокусировка выполняется, но фиксации автофокуса на объекте съемки не происходит
 изображение в видоискателе выглядит «размытым» или «нечетким»

Причиной таких проблем может являться неравномерность нанесения смазки на приводной механизм. Это относится к камерам, имеющим в серийном номере шестую цифру слева «1». При этом следует проверить наличие метки на батарейном отсеке: метка «A» или чёрная метка на серебряном креплении. Если отсек аккумулятора камеры содержит одну из таких меток, в камере не может возникнуть описанная выше неполадка и камера не нуждается в ремонте. Смазка при производстве была нанесена правильно.

Цена
Камера была анонсирована с ценой в $15000. 1 февраля 2015 года Canon снизила цену EOS-1D C на $4000 от ранее установленной цены в $11999. Новая рекомендованная стоимость составила $7999.

Преимущества
Canon EOS-1D C стала первой DSLR-камерой способной снимать видео в 4K. Байонет Canon EF обусловил широкую совместимость с большим количеством объективов.

Недостатки
Основным конкурентным недостатком является цена камеры. Сопоставимые по стоимости кинокамеры Canon EOS C300, Sony PXW-FS7 и Blackmagic Design URSA 4.6K являются более предпочтительными для большинства кинооператоров. Большинство же фотографов, потенциальных владельцев 1D C, предпочитают Canon EOS-1D X.

Отзывы
Canon EOS-1D C остался практически незамеченным для критиков и пользователей. Даже такие авторитетные ресурсы, как DXOMark и Digital Photography Review не стали проводить обзоры камеры. Американский оператор Шейн Харлбат () совместно с режиссёром По Чан для презентации камеры на выставке NAB 2012 снял короткометражный фильм :en:The Ticket. Он особо отметил наличие Canon log и высокой детализации при съёмке в 4K. Благодаря компактным размерам камеры вся съёмочная команда (два актёра, режиссёр, оператор и ассистент) поместилась в кабине колеса обозрения.

Компания Canon предоставила экземпляр камеры английскому режиссёру Филипу Блуму. Он отметил, что цена камеры завышена, однако по причине отсутствия конкурентов в 2013 году, которые могли бы сравниться по габаритам, светочувствительности, наличию 4K, отсутствию муара и алиасинга, 1D C выглядит выигрышно. Но для использования как видеокамеры не хватает функций мониторинга, гистограммы, пикинга, качественных аудиовходов, SDI-выхода.

Внештатный оператор Би-би-си Джонни Бехири () охарактеризовал камеру с положительной стороны: «По моему мнению, это первая камера HDSLR, которая может снимать видео высокого разрешения в качестве, которое может соперничать с хорошей HD-камерой».

Список фильмов, снятых на Canon EOS-1D C

Награды
Canon EOS-1D C стал лауреатом премии TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) в номинации «лучшая цифровая зеркальная камера для видео» (Best Video DSLR, 2013).

Обновления прошивки
Откат к предыдущим версиям прошивки официально невозможен. Особенностью версий официальных прошивок является то, что их невозможно скачать с официального сайта. Для обновления требуется сдать камеру в сервисный центр. В первых версиях прошивки был доступен режим съёмки 4096 × 2160 24p, затем Canon в прошивке версии 1.2.0 добавили 4096 × 2160 25p.

Magic Lantern
Прошивка Magic Lantern недоступна для Canon EOS-1D C, как и для Canon EOS-1D X.

Супа пача е вид гореща супа или чорба, която в България се прави от свинска глава, крака и опашка, а понякога и уши. Думата произхожда от персийски, като в България е привнесена от турски език, (paça) е ниската част на крака. Традиционно ястие е на Балканския полуостров и сред тюркските народи. Като обикновено за приготовлението и при тюрките се използват агнешка глава и краката. В Кавказ се нарича хаш и се приготвя от говеждо.
За приготовлението главата и краката се варят на бавен огън, след което бульонът се прецежда, месото се отделя от костите и се връща обратно, след което се доварява. Като подправки се добавят сол, черен пипер, бахар, хрян и дафинов лист.

Пачата е традиционно ястие, вероятно с много древен произход. В България то се приготвя само в описания вид, като супа, но може да се яде и охладена. Хрущялите в разварените тъкани желират бульона след охлаждането и така може да се съхранява в едновремешните избени помещения чак до пролетта. Пачата е характерна за цялата етническа карта на българите, само подправките се различават. Задължителна съставка обаче е чесънът. В оставената за желиране пача не се добавя оцет.

Man… if baloney smelled any better I'd wear it.
This recipe is meant to compliment our Deep Fried Turkey but can be used on anything. It was submitted by Belly Buddy Fatty Matty.
Don't miss out on the Turkey Rub if you're going to be deep frying a turkey! This is a great alternative to packaged seasoning. You'll want to rub the seasoning all over the turkey as described in The Belly's turkey recipe.
Rub it on the turkey at least 12 hours in advance. If you are prone to migranes, leave out the Accent® (MSG). It is so good and I have used it on chicken and even steak!
Thanks for sharing this Turkey rub recipe here. I really appreciate this one. I wanted to try this at home. Hopefully I can cook this turkey perfectly. Cheers!

Currently I am in Sao Paulo Brazil to attend the FILE electronic arts festival. The event is about interactive art in public spaces, game design and sonification, which exactly matches my interests. By now there is not much to say: everyone is busy in setting everything up, adjusting projectors and de bug last parts of the applications at the SESI theatre which is the main venue. The whole festival opens on monday with an award ceremony and opening night, where all the objects can be used and tested. On tuesday a lot of public art projects take place on Avenida Paulista, one of the main roads in Sao Paulo. The metro station transform to public gaming areas and the facades on the street will be digital augmented messageboards. If that wouldn´t be enough, a symposium is schedule for the whole week featuring lectures about physical gaming, sustainable media, sonifications and hybrid estates.It will be also live streamed via the festivals website!


Two of the most common types of fillers are Juvéderm® XC and Juvéderm Voluma® XC (Restylane versus Restylane Silk) but what's the difference? Many skincare experts offer treatments using one or the other and — if you don't know what makes each unique — it can be difficult to choose which is right for you.
What makes a face look youthful and radiant? It's not just one thing: it's a combination of factors, including facial volume, that can determine how young — or old — a face appears.
A young face has natural plumpness in the cheeks that gives a lifted, healthy appearance. Conversely, shallow cheeks can give a sunken, older appearance that can't be corrected with good skin care or surgery. Unfortunately, a normal side effect of aging is loss of facial volume. That's where Juvederm® Voluma XC comes in.


A family from Coventry, the Doyle's, have Birmingham Airport employee, Zita Small, to thank for saving their family summer holiday after they were all kicked off a flight to Portugal and left stranded because their 1-year-old son Jack was recovering from chicken pox despite having been given a medical all-clear from a family doctor.
At present, dad Paddy is undergoing intensive rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A family holiday is what their entire household was longing for. Zita, who had recently lost her husband, overheard the family's dilemma and was quick to intervene to attempt to find a satisfactory solution. 10 minutes later she had booked new upgraded First-Class flights to Portugal for the whole family.
Zita then took it upon herself to drive the Doyle's to a health clinic to get a newly signed fit to fly medical letter for check-in despite the fact that her shift had finished by then.
