Waterbird is a short film directed by Alex Darby which was being filmed in Oxford a few weeks ago. Alex invited me along to shoot some behind-the-scenes stills during a night shoot in the Westgate car park. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for very much of it but I did manage to shoot a roll of film of some of the cast and crew.

Q: Terraform on Azure - Deploy multiple subnet I'm trying to implement a Terraform script to create multiple subnets.
resource "azurerm_subnet" "test_subnet" {
    name = "testSUBNET"
    resource_group_name = "${local.resource_group_name}"
    virtual_network_name = "${azurerm_virtual_network.lab_vnet.name}"
    address_prefix = "10.0.1.0/24"
}

Is there a way to do a for-each or a loop on a variable in order to create them at the same time?

A: You can achieve this using a variable and count index as follows:
variable "subnet_prefix" {
  type = "list"
  default = [
    {
      ip      = "10.0.1.0/24"
      name     = "subnet-1"
    },
    {
      ip      = "10.0.2.0/24"
      name     = "subnet-2"
    }
   ]
}

resource "azurerm_subnet" "test_subnet" {
    name = "${lookup(element(var.subnet_prefix, count.index), "name")}"
    count = "${length(var.subnet_prefix)}"
    resource_group_name = "${local.resource_group_name}"
    virtual_network_name = "${azurerm_virtual_network.lab_vnet.name}"
    address_prefix = "${lookup(element(var.subnet_prefix, count.index), "ip")}"
}

There is also preview feature available for-each in the new version

A: If you are using Terraform 12 this can be achieved using the for-each capability or the count capability
count should be used if you are looking to create almost identical resources.
for-each should be used to create multiple of each instance based on a different map or set of values.
Using an list of strings and the toset() function to convert this is a neat way to achieve this
variable "subnet_ids" {
  type = list(string)
}

resource "aws_instance" "server" {
  for_each = toset(var.subnet_ids)

  ami           = "ami-a1b2c3d4"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  subnet_id     = each.key # note: each.key and each.value are the same for a set

  tags = {
    Name = "Server ${each.key}"
  }
}

Or you could achieve this by using something like the below:
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "rg" {
  for_each = {
    a_group = "eastus"
    another_group = "westus2"
  }
  name     = each.key
  location = each.value
}

If you are looking to achieve this with Terraform 11 the count and variable capabilities are the only way other than code duplication. (Rajat Arora has mentioned)
I would strongly recommended using Terraform 12 as the providers for Terraform 11 will be unsupported in the not to far future and if you can save yourself from refactoring now, you should!

At the university, it's Black History Month every October. A few students were asked what Black History Month meant to them
Introduction by Tanisha Douglas, BME Student Officer:
Black History Month UK is held in October to empower students at the beginning of each academic year. This year, with the help of some fantastic students, we were able to do just that. We were not only able to connect students on campus but also the people within the Manchester community. This year's theme was to empower, enlighten and celebrate, and this is what we achieved through our events. October may now be over, but that does not mean we should wait until next year—every day we should continue to empower, enlighten and celebrate the diversity of each and everyone's cultures for each is worth celebrating.
Here are some articles from students on campus to share with us what Black History Month means to them.
Chris Humba:
Black History Month is a time when society takes time to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions and achievements that black people have given to the world. It's a time to learn new facts, discuss important issues, look at ways forward and educate others and myself about black history and racism that still exists, either in an in-your-face fashion or in a hidden, closeted way. Black history, to me, is much more than just one month a year, it's part of an identity that impacts on us on a daily basis, for example in social situations—how others react to you—first impressions (i.e. if I wear a hoodie because it's cold and wet, others may think that I am doing it for negative reasons), the educational system, employment, criminal justice, and accessing services and the media.
So the issue of race and racism are important factors because of the historical context that certain words and events have had and still do have, permeating into today's attitudes and stereotypes, e.g. "the angry black man/ woman," "all black people are good at sports," "all black people love chicken," "all black men are womanizers."
We need to discuss the issues around societal and institutional racism that still exists. Why is it that if the UK's population is around 60012456 and the black population is 1521400, which at a rough estimate makes up 3.01%, Black or Black British people make up 13.4 per cent of the prison population? This illustrates a huge overrepresentation and yet only four senior judges, out of 161, were known to be from a BME community. One senior civil servant out of 52 working for the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) was known to be from a BME community, and three per cent of the senior police officers in England and Wales were from a BME community. In regards to the education we need to ask how come in Liverpool only 22 out of 4192 teachers were from an African or African-Caribbean background. As recently as 2010, there are just 85 black professors out of a total of 18510 in the UK, making up 1.6 per cent.
We need to learn from the past, however uncomfortable it is, as to grow and learn you need to first move out from a position of comfort, which will allow open discussion. It's not about bashing people and making them feel bad, it's about looking at statistics and facts and then working together on both sides to make positive differences. I think we can all start the process even if its just by reading one book on black history of figures, attending one event taking place at the university or in the city in general, or having proper open discussion to see the true experiences of your black friend who will most probably not be offended, just to get an insight. We can then continue to make progress. Don't get me wrong, we are in a better place than we were in the 1950s and 1960s, and I am grateful for that, but there is still progress to be made. As Martin Luther King Jr. stated, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Benjamina E. Dadzie:
Black History Month should be every month. We should talk about Black History every month of every year, because we need to understand and to learn.
As young people is our responsibility to educate, empower and celebrate our multicultural society, embracing our differences and making the most out of it, in order to do better than how our great-grandfathers did; or to do what they didn't have the knowledge, means and authority to do.
Although Black History Month is not every month of the year, I'm glad we have one out of twelve: one to understand, to talk and to share those burning issues we avoid voicing out and that are consuming our social relationships.
This month is to inspire and to educate, and as such, it is our duty as community of people who know better, to bring to the table the things we do not feel comfortable with. This is the moment to talk about race, to enlighten about stereotypes and demonise ignorance. It's a chance to share and to try to understand what is and where the line between racism, ignorance and curiosity can be found and what we, as people who struggle every day to change the conversation, can do to make the difference. It's the moment to educate those who often fall into racist/ignorant situations, transforming what could be an angry and unproductive confrontation, into a moment to learn and to correct one's social manner.
We live in a multicultural society and while one would gladly notice what brings and shapes us in togetherness, sometimes we are reminded with uncomfortable truth the similarities we will never have. So it happens that there's a constant battle within, a battle that eats up the good in us and transforms us into categories rather than people.
This month is the time to learn how we can coexist, how we can stop defining ourselves according to our appearance, but in accord with our being and doing.
Anisa Rashid:
Ask anyone about influential figures in Black History, and there's a good chance that the names Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X will pop up. Many would be hard pushed to name anymore.
Most of my knowledge of Black History is usually based around civil rights activists from mid 20th Century America, and I suspect that it's probably the same for anyone who went to school in the UK. While African American civil rights activists should definitely make up part of the curriculum, growing up as Black Londoner, this small slice of black history we learn about has always felt a little distant.
It's only through my own recent research that I've learned more about influential black Britons. For example, Paul Stephenson, a prominent Bristolian civil rights campaigner, who led a 60-day boycott of the Bristol Omnibus Company, after they refused to hire any BME drivers or conductors in 1963. Olaudah Equiano, a formerly enslaved Nigerian, who alongside other African Londoners campaigned to end slavery in the 1780s. Mary Prince, who was the first black woman to write and publish an autobiography in the UK, wrote a book titled 'The History of Mary Prince: A West Indian Slave' detailing her experience of slavery.
Black British individuals making history today are also often overlooked. Baroness Doreen Lawrence set up the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust (a trust set up in memory of her son who was murdered in a racially motivated attack), which aims to campaign against social injustice. Malorie Blackman, current Children's Laureate, is working to highlight the lack of diversity in children's book. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, space scientist and mechanical engineer, often tours inner city schools giving talks on how she became a scientist while overcoming dyslexia and challenging stereotypes.
As Black History Month 2014 comes to a close, it's important that we think beyond this month, and focus on how we can make improvements to the black history that currently makes up the curriculum. Given the contributions a lot of these black Britons have made to society, it's a shame that many people have never heard of them before.

Today I got off my booty and worked until the sweat ran down my back!
I haven't showered yet either so be glad there is not smell-o-web-ision for cyber space yet, heeheehee.
I weeded the crap weeds out of my yard big time today! Much progress was made and it finally shows! This side is going to match the finished side! I can't believe it!
They are not really called that, but we call them that because no one can eat just one row. You gotta go for seconds and thirds.
Just eat the whole pan!.
Also they are made out of butter, a whole stick! Plus a whole can of condensed milk, a couple pounds chocolate chips and graham crackers. You know what I'm talking about: bar cookies.
When my son makes these beauties, they are even better than grandma's.
So while I nibble on a handful of chocolate chips relax, he is popping them into the oven.
Soon I will get to sink my teeth into one row or two rows of deliciousness.
I get to look out into my beautiful yard and enjoy dessert…this is the life!

Sessions matriculates the ball down the field
(July 2, Quin Hillyer's first-hand reporting from a campaign event) Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions campaigns for his old U.S. Senate seat from Alabama with the style of a grad student defending his dissertation to a faculty committee. Unlike most politicians today, he seems earnestly to be trying to prove that his theses all cohere, connecting intellectual dots rather than appealing to the voters' inner ids.
In an invite-only meeting on Wednesday in his home city of Mobile with about 10 people — in these days of the coronavirus, small meetings are usually the only sort allowable — Sessions made his case for Trumpian policies in a most un-Trumpian fashion. He speaks deliberately, pausing to come up with just the right word or argument, almost as if running his thoughts through an internal filter to ensure they are relevant, defensible, honorable, and true.
He started by making the pitch his TV commercials hadn't, namely that his proven ability to represent Alabama's interests vastly exceeds that of his Republican primary opponent, former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville. Ticking off the names of military installations in the state Tuberville probably hasn't even heard of, Sessions explained that his long service on the Senate Armed Services Committee has helped ensure Alabama's bases are an integral part of the Pentagon's mix.
He also made the crucial case — again, this is a man for whom philosophical cohesiveness is important — that those bases serve the national interest, rather than being just local pork. Alabama voters, he said, have values beyond mere parochialism.
"They would like their senator to play a positive role in those [national issues], too," he said….

The Big Retreat Wales Weekend of Wellness is Back!
A wellbeing festival set in the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is to return following the success of its launch last year.
Feel-good festival The Big Retreat Wales will again take place over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend on an historic site overlooking the Cleddau Estuary. Promising to rejuvenate and uplift, the festival has an impressive line-up of more than 200 events, including wellbeing classes and workshops, cookery demos, live music and talks from renowned speakers and authors.
Described by the founders as having 'everything that makes you feel good', the three-day escape brings people together in the fresh air, inspiring them to find their happy and focus on wellbeing. From the very spot where the boundaries of the national park were drawn up, festival-goers can reconnect with nature and each other, regain balance through pilates and meditation, get a sweat on with new fitness and dance crazes and learn new crafts.
This year's event includes a yoga tent with more than 20 hours of classes centred around different disciplines, including acroyoga, gentle hatha yoga, relaxing yin yoga and flowing ashtanga yoga. In the Talk Tent, authors and speakers including Danielle Merchant, Clare Dimond, Penny Blake and Mairi Taylor will share their passion and drive, discussing wellbeing subjects such as achieving a greater understanding of self and how to sleep and eat well, while yoga teacher Kerry Morgan will debate the science of kindness and happiness.
"Last year's festival was a great success and this year's event promises to be even better. There's a stronger focus on fitness for both women and men, as well as plenty of other wellness classes, activities and entertainment.
"This year, we've been able to double the festival in size without losing its welcoming and cosy appeal, enabling more people to experience our weekend of relaxation and rejuvenation in this beautiful part of Wales. I love seeing the look on people's faces when they first walk out of the trees onto the terrace and see the stunning views over the Cleddau.
For those wishing to slow down for the weekend, there will be workshops in spoon carving, den building, nature weaving, jewellery making, monoprinting and 'Around the World in 80 Gins', exploring one of the nation's favourite tipples. And of course, there will also be the chance to simply chill out in a hilltop hammock with a good book.
More energetic festival-goers can take part in fitness sessions on the terrace including the new Latin-based and highly addictive craze Mundo Dance, led by its creator and Cardiff favourite, Yonier Garcia, as well as Pound Rock Workout and hula fitness. Those wishing to venture off-site can join a group 5km run, a 6km walk from Lawrenny to Cresswell Bay and shore walks along the Cleddau with rangers from the national park.
There will be no cries of 'I'm bored!' from younger visitors, with under-12s admitted free of charge and enjoying kids' yoga and fitness classes, bug hunts, bushcraft, foraging, den-making, music and arts and crafts. The Majical Youth Theatre Company is also bringing vintage swing boats and a selection of games to the main Festival Terrace, encouraging the younger generations to put down their gadgets in favour of fun in the great outdoors.
Evening entertainment under the stars includes Rusty Shackle, Climbing Trees' Matthew Frederick, Mazaratis, Jodie Marie, Cappa Ceilidh Band, Ofelia, The Sun Dogs and more, while foodie fun comes from campside cook-outs, street food stalls and tasting sessions. Demos include The Apprentice's Alana Spencer and her Ridiculously Rich cakes, Jackie Pallet sharing healthy Indian cooking, The Bug Grub Company turning critters into culinary delights and The Voice's Ragsy in his new persona as the Rock 'n' Roll Chef.
The Big Retreat Wales runs from May 25th-28th. Day tickets cost £39, with weekend passes starting from £129 and under-12s admitted free. Admission includes access to all on-site fitness and wellbeing sessions, workshops, talks and live performances, whilst a small additional cost will be charged for professional therapies, paddle boarding, canoeing and coasteering.

Lauro Pereira Travassos (* 2. Juli 1890 in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro; † 20. November 1970 in Rio de Janeiro) war ein brasilianischer Entomologe, Helminthologe und Hochschullehrer. Er galt als einer Pioniere der Helminthologie in Brasilien und auch weltweit als Parasitologe mit hohem Ansehen.

Leben
Travassos war der Sohn von João de Matos und Laura Pereira Travassos. Seine Eltern waren beide portugiesischer Abstammung und sein Vater war Oberst der Nationalgarde. Nach seinem Schulabschluss am Colégio Alfredo Gomes in Rio de Janeiro promovierte Travassos 1913 an der medizinischen Fakultät der Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro mit der Dissertation Sobre as espécies brazileiras da subfamilia Heterakinae, einer Arbeit über Helminthologie. Im selben Jahr veröffentlichte er in Zusammenarbeit mit José Gomes de Faria seinen ersten Artikel über die Entdeckung der Zungenwurmart Linguatula serrata, die im Darm eines menschlichen Patienten gefunden wurde, in der Fachzeitschrift Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Noch während seines Medizinstudiums wurde er Mitarbeiter im Instituto Seroterápico Nacional (später Instituto Oswaldo Cruz) im Quartier Manguinhos, wo er ein Schüler von Oswaldo Cruz wurde, später für José Gomes de Faria arbeitete und sich insbesondere der Helminthologie widmete. In diesem Fachgebiet schrieb er seine ersten 181 Arbeiten und wechselte dann zur Insektenkunde, insbesondere der Lepidopterologie. Zudem beteiligte er sich an der Bekämpfung des Gelbfiebers in Rio de Janeiro und Belém. 1915 wurde er Leiter des Labors für Helminthologie am Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, das erweitert und zu einer Abteilung für medizinische Zoologie wurde. Mit seinem Aufstieg initiierte er nicht nur den Ausbau des Labors für Helminthologie, sondern auch die sogenannte Travassos-Schule, die sich auf die zoologische Taxonomie konzentrierte, eine informelle Schule, die die brasilianische Zoologie umriss.

1926 übernahm er an der medizinischen Fakultät der Universidade de São Paulo den Lehrstuhl für Parasitologie, wo er in gemeinsam mit Cesar Pinto, einem seiner Schüler, den Unterricht mit der Entwicklung praktischer Arbeiten erneuerte. Im Jahr 1929 ging er auf Einladung von Friedrich Fülleborn nach Deutschland und gab einen zehnmonatigen Kurs in Helminthologie im Hamburger Institut für Tropenmedizin. In der Folgezeit hatte er bis 1937 den Vorsitz in den Bereichen Medizinische Zoologie und Parasitologie an der Escola Nacional de Veterinária, der heutigen Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro inne. Als Experte für Zoologie war Travassos an der Gründung der Universidade do Distrito Federal, heute Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, beteiligt, als die Naturwissenschaften als Studienfach eingerichtet wurden.

Travassos' Biografie umfasst 436 Schriften mit insgesamt 4.220 Seiten, die 5.197 Zeichnungen enthalten. Unter diesen Artikeln befinden sich 280 über Helminthen und 95 über Insekten, neben verschiedenen Themen wie Berichte über wissenschaftliche Exkursionen, Biographien und andere. In der Entomologie spezialisierte er sich auf Lepidoptera (Schmetterlinge und Nachtfalter), insbesondere auf die Familie der Bärenspinner (Arctiidae), über die er 43 Artikel veröffentlichte. Er ist auch Autor des Buches Introdução ao Estudo da Helmintologia aus dem Jahr 1950, das als sein Standardwerk gilt.

Travassos war Mitglied der Brasilianischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Träger des Ordem do Mérito Médico.

Er starb im Krankenhaus Evandro Chagas, das sich auf dem Campus der Fundação Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro befindet.

Dedikationsnamen
Nach Travassos sind zahlreiche Taxa benannt, darunter Travassosinema, Travassosinematidae, Splendidofilaria travassosi, Stilobezzia travassosi, Trifolium travassosi, Oreodesmus travassosi, Basilia travassosi, Diarthrotarsus travassosi, Heth travassosi, Emdenimyia travassosi, Prionapterus travassosi, Lepidodexia (Notochaetomima) travassosi und Archytas travassosi.

Jo Benkow (born Josef Elias Benkowitz; 15 August 1924 – 18 May 2013) was a Norwegian politician and writer, notable for being an important person in the Conservative Party of Norway, and the President of the Parliament 1985–1993. He was also President of the Nordic Council in 1983.

Private life
Jo Benkow was born in Trondheim, Norway to Jewish parents, Ivan Benkow (1885–1955) and Annie Louise Florence (1895–1942). The family moved to the municipality of Bærum outside Oslo when Jo was a child. Jo Benkow married Bjørg Gerda Folkestad (1930–2012) in 1952, but the marriage dissolved in 1983. From 1985 he was married to fellow politician Annelise Høegh (1948–2015), former parliamentary representative for the Conservative Party, and daughter of war aviator Anders Høegh (1920– 1989). He was the uncle of journalistic fraudster Bjørn Benkow (1940–2010).

As a member of the tiny Jewish minority of Norway, he experienced first-hand prejudice while growing up. In 1942, he fled persecution by the Nazis occupying Norway, to Sweden. His mother and sister were deported by the Nazi regime from Norway and murdered in Auschwitz. Jo reached the United Kingdom where he served in the Royal Norwegian Air Force. He returned after the war and took up photography as a trade, his father's profession.

Political career
In 1965 he was elected to the Parliament of Norway, representing the Conservative Party. In parliament he soon became a leading figure, as party leader 1980–84, group leader of the Conservative Party in parliament 1981–85 and most notably becoming President of the Storting (Speaker) on 9 October 1985, a position he held until his retirement on 30 September 1993, after 28 years in parliament.

Benkow served as president of the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights, taught international relations at Boston University, and has written books on human rights, modern monarchy in Norway, and other issues. His autobiography
Fra Synagogen til Løvebakken (From the synagogue to Løvebakken; Løvebakken refers to a place outside the Parliament) published in 1985 sold 250,000 copies in Norway and earned him the Norwegian Booksellers' Prize. His book Olav –  menneske og monark ("Olav – Man and Monarch"), a product of several conversations with his friend King Olav V, was a huge bestseller as well.

He was also a much sought-after lecturer on issues concerning the Middle East and Anti-Semitism. In recent years he managed to create some controversy when he criticized former prime minister and party colleague Kåre Willoch, calling him "the most biased person in the country," on account of Willoch's views on the Middle East and his criticism of Israeli politics.

Benkow died on 18 May 2013, at a hospital in Oslo, aged 88.

This Is The Easiest Way To Escape A Sinking Vehicle – Knowing How Might Save Your Life
An estimated 400 people die each year because their car becomes submerged underwater during a crash, according to data collected by Canadian researcher Gordon Giesbrecht. A lot of people stuck in this situation end up doing the wrong thing in the moment their car becomes submerged.
In this video below, Geoff Fahringer, who is an expert diver, demonstrates what to do by rolling an older vehicle down a ramp and into an 8 foot deep canal with him inside, and later in the video, with several people. For a dozen years, he's been on the dive rescue team for the Collier County Sheriff's department in Naples, Fla.
According to researcher Gordon Giesbrecht, the bottom line is that there simply isn't enough time for rescuers to reach you in this situation, you have to do it for yourself.
"We're telling people that you have to get out of the vehicle before the water gets up against the windows, and that's really in the first 30 to 60 seconds.", he says. That means, don't reach for your cell phone when you hit the water. "Don't call 9-1-1 from inside a sinking vehicle," he adds.

Haley: Heavy rains a disaster for agriculture
BRUCE SMITH The Associated Press
HARLEYVILLE — South Carolina's governor warned Monday that torrential rains soaking the Southeast have flooded fields and wiped out crops in her state, creating a disaster for agriculture on par with a tornado or a hurricane.
Soggy conditions around the region have delayed harvests, cut yields and will be felt well into winter as farmers worry there may not be enough feed for livestock when the growing season is over.
"In a hurricane you see the damage. In a tornado you see the damage," said Nikki Haley, the South Carolina governor, who toured a damage area Monday.
"This is at the same level. This is a disaster for the state of South Carolina," said Haley, on a visit to the farm of John Pendarvis some 50 miles northwest of Charleston.
With crop damage exceeding 30 percent in 36 of South Carolina's 42 counties, Haley has written U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack requesting that the state be declared an agricultural disaster area. If approved, qualifying farmers would be able to secure low-interest loans.
As of Monday, 45 inches of rain had fallen this year in Charleston, about 13 inches above normal. Above-normal rainfall has been reported elsewhere around the Southeast.
At Pendarvis' farm, a nearby vegetable field had standing water and small green sprouts at a time when the squash should be ready for harvest.
Haley joined Pendarvis, state Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers, agriculture officials and other farmers in a corn field where, while the crop was harvested, the heavy rains posed a challenge to getting the corn out.
"The rain for the past six or eight weeks has really damaged our crops," Pendarvis said.
Weathers, who farms in a neighboring county, said he had to leave 20 percent of his wheat in the field. He also won't be able to put in soybeans this year because the ground is just too wet.
The bright spot for farmers, he said, is that the rains have made field grass for cattle and dairy cows abundant. But, at the same time, he added, farmers won't be able to harvest as much hay from wet ground, meaning there could be a shortage of feed after the first frost.
Similarly in Virginia, the wet weather has been a mixed blessing.
The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation reports it will be a better season for corn than last year because of the plentiful rain. But yields may suffer in some areas because wet ground could hamper harvesting.
The rain affected harvesting Virginia wheat and barley. It's also is taking a toll on cotton and flue-cured tobacco, the type used in cigarettes, with yields expected to be less than last year.
In North Carolina, soybean production will be down 23 percent and the flue-cured tobacco harvest down 10 percent, according to projections from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
David Hardy, the chief of the soil testing section of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services says that the heavy rains — more than 30 inches in some areas — also have washed nutrients out of soils. Farmers are being urged to be vigilant about soil testing this fall to make sure there are enough nutrients to support future crops.
In Georgia, the heavy rains have meant more labor costs for farmers because of the added costs of planting, spaying and cultivating. The weather delayed the corn harvest and put the peanut crop behind. But a bit drier weather in recent days has helped the crop catch up and better-than-average yield is now expected.
In South Carolina, Haley said while the farming community is in crisis but "we have the backs of our farmers." She urged South Carolinians to buy South Carolina products and shop at local farmers markets.
"If there ever was a time you need to show your support for our South Carolina farmers it's now," she said.

Bank of America announced its Q3 results earlier today. The bank reported a three-fold increase in its third-quarter loss to $232 million, in a revision that added legal costs related to global investigations into foreign exchange trading at major banks.
Bank of America shares were down around 1% at $17.23 late in US trading session on Thursday.
As previously reported by Forex Magnates, regulators are investigating allegations that dealers have colluded and manipulated key reference rates for various asset classes including foreign exchange since 2006.
The additional charge expanded Bank of America's net loss to $232 million, up from a reported net loss of $70 million announced on October 15th.
Bank of America revised its results adding $400 million to its legal reserves to cover expected settlements related to foreign exchange, adding that it was in advanced discussions with U.S. regulators to resolve matters related to the business. In the quarterly report, Bank of America said it was being investigated by government authorities in North America, Europe and Asia but did not disclose which regulators were specifically involved.
Britain's financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is admittedly having talks with six major banks including Barclays, RBS and HSBC over allegations of collusion and manipulation in the foreign exchange market, setting the stage for a group settlement estimated in the $30-$50 billion range.
JPMorgan, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), UBS and Deutsche Bank have all admitted to setting aside additional funding and all expect proceedings to drag on to at least 2017.
Last month, Citigroup announced the bank had set aside an additional $600 million to cover legal expenses in Q3 due to "rapidly evolving regulatory inquiries," while also disclosing that it was subject to foreign exchange market investigations. Deutsche Bank's litigation expenses have exceded €7 billion since 2012.
Bank of America also lowered its litigation-related loss estimates to $3 billion from $5 billion, over and above the sum already set aside.

Edmontonians for Responsible Urban Public Transit
Financial Cost
Questionable Alignment with Edmonton's Overarching Goals
Public-Private Partnership Concerns
Poor Public Consultation
BRT: A Possible Solution
Three Myths about the Valley Line LRT
March 15, 2016 / kristinekk
MYTH: The route was the result of a long public consultation process.
FACT: "The corridor selection process is not designed, nor intended, to collaborate with community and stakeholders to determine a recommended route" (SE to W LRT Public Involvement Report, 2008-2009).
The only consultation the city did on the route was with 12 corporate and institutional stakeholders (eg. Grey Nuns Hospital, Bonnie Doon shopping centre); these groups were presented with five options: High Level/CPR; High Level/Whyte Ave.; James MacDonald Bridge; Low Level Bridge; Dawson Bridge. None mentioned the Cloverdale footbridge corridor.
MYTH: This project is a done deal.
FACT: Edmonton has a historical precedent for halting a new transportation corridor through the river valley: in the 1970s, Mill Creek and MacKinnon Ravine freeway projects were both stopped at the eleventh hour. In the case of MacKinnon Ravine, a decade of planning had already occurred, the trees had been cleared the roadbed partially built, and storm sewers installed; one councillor stated, "We've made the decision to build it; we can't back out now." The city spent $2.76 million on this work before recognizing the project was not in the city's best interest. The mayor at the time said, "If you've gone part way down the incorrect path, that's regrettable—but not as regrettable as going all the way downy he incorrect path." I think we would all agree today that halting the project was the right decision.
MYTH: This project represents short-term pain for long-term gain.
FACT: The current Valley Line LRT is an expensive mistake that will involve exponentially larger spin-off costs in the long term. While the city states the project's main goal is to improve sustainability and a compact city core, it actually works against these goals by both destroying many things that draw people to the core.
Long-term, this route sacrifices the most important part of the downtown river valley, Chinatown, heritage buildings on Jasper Avenue, the Cloverdale footbridge, and the Edmonton Ski Hill—all incredible assets to our city. Furthermore, the route offers very little transit-oriented development potential because it runs mostly through the river valley, mature neighbourhoods, and light industrial areas. And it spends so much money doing so that it precludes public transit development elsewhere in the city for decades (35 years, according to the city's latest projection—and that's before they've begun tunnelling into the unstable Grierson river bank).
We need a pause on this project, and an open discussion in which we reassess our options, including BRT and expanded bus service.

Starring Tarron Edgerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Rocketman) and Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained, The Amazing Spiderman 2) both star in the new spin on the classic, Robin Hood, which was in cinemas on 21st November. Edgerton playing Robin of Loxley, Foxx roling as Little John, they are joined by other well-established actors like Jamie Dornon (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One, The Dark Knight Rises) to make an outstanding tale come to life.
Robin of Loxley meets his maiden, Marian (Eve Hewson) in the beginning of the film, when she tried to steal one of his horses. The love story then takes a sour turn as Robin is sent off to become a Crusader in the war. After some amazing bow and arrow skills, it is made clear that Robin has established the trust of enemy, John after trying to save his son from murder.
Upon his arrival back in Nottingham, Robin discovers that he was declared dead, by the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn) two years ago, by his friend Friar Tuck (Tim Minchin) and that his beloved Marian has moved on with political enforcer, Will Scarlet (Jamie Dornan). After the heart breaking news, John takes Robin under his wing and mentors him to become a thief in order to take back Nottingham from the Sheriff who uses his takings of money from the poor as power for himself.
Robin of Loxly now has an alter-ego of The Hood. In the day, he is the well-established Lord who is trying to gain the trust of the Sheriff, by night his is a hero to the poor, stealing riches to give to the poor and end the Sheriff's reign.
After discovering the groundbreaking news, Marian and Friar Tuck help Robin and John carry a revolt against the Sheriff. The big climax is definitely one that will keep you on the edge of your seat, the ending even more so.
You can watch the trailer below.
I've said a lot about the film but I haven't given away enough details to ruin it. There is definitely a lot more excitement than a few robberies and a revolt but you'll just have to go and watch it to find that out (I recommend watching at the Odeon as they now have tickets from £5!).
This film was meant to be released last year but was put on hold and it was worth the wait. Before I watched this film, I saw a video online of Tarron Edgerton learning to shoot three arrows at a time and I was impressed. He does all of the bow and arrow stunts himself. If this isn't enough to amaze you, I don't know what is. You can watch the video below - it's only a short one but it's mad!
The film itself has some scenes with amazing cinematography in it (inner media student is fangirling) and I really enjoyed those. I think that the film as a whole was brilliant including the storyline. It's not everyday you turn an old tale into something as exciting and thrilling as this.
The tale of Robin Hood is one that most people know and this film has taken that, putting a spin on it. There wasn't one time in this film where I was bored (usually there is) and there were twists and turns that I never saw coming. You can truly immerse yourself in this film.
All of the castings were brilliant, I couldn't fault one performance. The roles were carried out effectively, making me believe that these events could really be true. Some think that the story of Robin hood is a myth, others believe it is true - from this film, I actually believe in the tale of Robin Hood.
There was only one thing that I picked up on in the film that irritated me, and that was the costumes. I don't believe heels that look like they've just walked out from Selfridges is a true representations of what wealthy women would have worn in this time, and suits that could have just come off of the red carpet also. I really liked how some of the costumes were more of a true to form and some had a more modern twist but I really don't think there was enough consistency.
I think that this is a brilliantly crafted film that will capture it's audience, taking it on a journey that we all know and love but adding in a few curveballs that make the tale just that little bit more exciting.
Robin Hood is a classic tale and the filmmakers have put a more modern and twisted spin on it which I think works really well - if the costumes were more consistent, than this would have made the film that little bit better.
This film is a definite recommend from me.

Q: Git Push to Remote Issue How do I push a single commit to the repo? specificially the one on top 388c85.
When I try to push to remote repo it picks the two commits below.
Git Log
commit 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89
Author: test <test@gmail.com>

commit 3d4b4da976bfefff4a18bfbcbfb9bdaa35d7c991
Author: test <test@gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 6 13:09:19 2016 -0400

initial commit this mostly include user interface updates

A: As far as I understand, you have something like this:
A -- B -- C -- D -- E
     \               \- master
      \- origin/master

and you want to add commit E to your remote repository, but you don't want C and D.
Then you should cherry-pick E:
git checkout B # use for instance the sha1 of this commit
git checkout -B BES-22 # it creates the branch BES-22 locally and puts you on it
git cherry-pick E

At this point you have:
A -- B -- C -- D -- E
      \ -- E'       \-master
       \    \- BES-22
        \- origin/master

So you can push:
git push origin BES-22

In particular, note that:

*

*Since commits are immutable in Git, the cherry-pick created a brand new commit E'

*If you have the error error: unable to push to unqualified destination: BES-22 The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref., it more or less means that branch BES-22 doesn't exist on the remote. Using git push origin <branch> instead of git push origin <sha1>:<unexisting remote branch> should fix it

A: try below command
git push <remotename> <commit SHA>:<remotebranchname>

Example
git push origin 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89:master

In above case master is your branch to push.

A: git always pushes all the commits upto the HEAD (Given commit hash). So in your case when you do git push all the commits prior to the HEAD are pushed and even if you do git push origin 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89:master it would push all commits upto 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89. One thing you can do is reorder your commit history so that the history looks like below:
commit 3d4b4da976bfefff4a18bfbcbfb9bdaa35d7c991
Author: test <test@gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 6 13:09:19 2016 -0400

Login Page updates

Now if you do git push origin 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89:master only 388c85ccb56164c6f0c91584aa9251b87acc7f89 commit will be pushed and not 3d4b4da976bfefff4a18bfbcbfb9bdaa35d7c991

BLUETTI AC500 Launched: Get Incredible Power with this Portable Power Station
Partner Content - Last Updated: September 7, 2022 11:31 am
BLUETTI has officially launched its new power station AC500, a successor to the AC300 model, with even more features and capability. It's a modular and portable power station that you can easily carry around anywhere you go or utilize it as a home backup power station. The new AC500 power station can deliver 1.6x output power and has a maximum input rate of 1.5x in comparison to the AC300. Along with that, BLUETTI has also launched the B300S, an expansion battery pack for the AC500.
BLUETTI AC500 Power Station Announced
BLUETTI is one of the market leaders in the portable power station market globally. The new AC500 power station looks pretty powerful and can handle an overall capacity of up to 18,432Wh. Let's go ahead and learn more about its features.
BLUETTI AC500 Features
The BLUETTI AC500 is a modular and portable power station, so it does not come with built-in batteries. You can buy the upgraded B300S expansion battery pack, which is essentially a LiFePO4 battery, and it is tested for over 3500 life cycles. In case you have an older B300 battery pack, you can pair it with the new AC500 model as well. As for the power capacity, the AC500 inverter can deliver a pure sine wave output of 5000W and can handle a surge output of 10,000W without breaking the power supply.
Not to mention, a single AC500 power station supports up to six expansion batteries, meaning you can build a power station with a total capacity of 18,432Wh, which is impressive. To give you a number, 18,432Wh can power your home for as many as six days. In tandem, with a single battery pack (3072W), it can reliably last for a single day of outage.
The best part about BLUETTI AC500 is that you can charge it pretty quickly. If coupled with the B300S, it can charge 80% of the battery pack in just 30 minutes. With a single outlet AC charging, it can provide a maximum input of 5000W. In addition, the AC500 supports dual charging via AC and solar panel, which have a combined input rate of 8000W. In case you want to charge the power station with just the solar panel, you will get a maximum input of 3000W.
BLUETTI has also released an upgraded PV400 solar panel with double-glazed technology, having higher input efficiency. With 3000W input, the solar panel can charge 80% of the battery pack in just 1.5 hours. You don't need to rely on traditional gasoline power generators, thus, reducing harmful emissions, noise, and fuel costs. In essence, the BLUETTI AC500 enables you to contribute to the environment by utilizing renewable energy.
As for when you are on the move, you can take advantage of multiple ports available in the AC500 to charge up your devices. It has a total of 16 ports, including 3 x 120V/ 20A outlets, 2 x 100W USB-C ports, 4 x USB-A ports, DC outlets, a wireless charging pad, and a lot more. There's even a dedicated BLUETTI app that you can use to monitor real-time output and input, understand power consumption behavior, upgrade the firmware, and much more.
And for wintry days, the new B300S battery pack can automatically heat up using Temperature Adaptive Function. When the ambient temperature goes below -20-degree Celcius, it can boost heating, taking the temperature above 0-degree Celcius.
The AC500 and B300S power station-cum-battery combo will go on sale on September 1 at 7:00 AM PDT. The combo pack will be available at a massive discount of $2999. In addition, the upgraded PV400 solar panel will also be on sale. If you are interested, head over to the Indiegogo website to buy AC500, B300S, and PV400 for your power backup needs.

Charles Owen Perry
Charles O. Perry
Charles O. Perry, a sculptor who created dozens of mathematically inspired works for plazas and sculpture gardens throughout the United States and abroad and created Continuum, the knotted black Möbius strip that stands in front of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, died on Tuesday at his home in Norwalk, Conn. He was 81.
Perry was an architect working for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in San Francisco when he began making sculptural models at night in a garage. In 1964 his works were exhibited in a one-man show at the Hansen Gallery that sold out and earned him a commission from the city of Fresno. That year he also won the Prix de Rome, an award that sent him to study sculpture at the American Academy in Rome, where he stayed for the next 14 years to practice architecture and make large-scale works of sculpture that drew inspiration from the geometry inherent in natural forms.
Continuum, completed in 1976 for the new Air and Space Museum, is a bit of topological whimsy that plays with the peculiarities of the Möbius strip, which has one continuous surface and one edge. "In this case, the edge of the sculpture portrays the path of a star as it flows through the center of the sculpture's 'black hole' into negative space-time and on again into positive space," Mr. Perry told Ivars Peterson for the book Fragments of Infinity: A Kaleidoscope of Math and Art (2001).
Charles Owen Perry was born on Oct. 18, 1929, in Helena, Mont., where his father owned a successful gold and gem mine. He served in the Army as a forward observer with an artillery unit in Korea, where he was awarded a bronze star for bravery and invented his own gun sight out of scrap parts to achieve better depth perception. After returning to the United States, he enrolled in the School of Art and Architecture at Yale, earning a master's degree in architecture in 1958.
At the suggestion of the painter Josef Albers, he experimented with a variety of materials in a quest to discover their inner nature. In so doing, he became interested in the rhombus and invented plastic rhombic hexahedrons that interlocked to form novel shapes. These were later exhibited as art at the 1969 Spoleto Festival in Italy and, under the name Perrygons, sold as construction toys through the Museum of Modern Art.
The artistic possibilities of geometric forms, and the mysteries of the universe's physical laws, provided Mr. Perry with an inexhaustible source of material. The Möbius strip reappeared in the sculptures Calligraphic Möbius and Helix Möbius Mace, both in the Crystal City development in Arlington, Va.; Continuum II at the Marina Center Holdings Building in Singapore; and Solstice, at the Bank of America Building in Tampa, Fla., an assemblage of silver pipes described on its base as "a two-thirds twist triangular torus Möbius." Mr. Perry explored other shapes in Shell Mace"(Shell Oil Company, Melbourne), the bright-red, calligraphic Rondo (Kinshicho Station, Tokyo) and Eclipse"(Hyatt Regency, Embarcadero Center, San Francisco), a gold-colored sphere — technically a pentagonal dodecahedron with the faces spiraling outward — composed of 1,440 pieces of gold-colored, interlacing aluminum tubes.
Mr. Perry also designed gold and silver jewelry for Tiffany & Company, a semi-abstract chess set made of nickel-plated tubing, and sculptural puzzles. In the early 1990s he designed several chairs: an ergonomic stacking chair, known as the Perry Chair, for Krueger International; the Uno office chair for Steelcase; and the Virtuoso for Virco.

Hippos, like almost any herbivore, they consume other plants if presented with them, but their diet in nature consists almost entirely of grass, with only minimal consumption of aquatic plants. Hippos are born with sterile intestines, and require bacteria obtained from their mothers' feces to digest vegetation. Hippos have (albeit rarely) been filmed eating carrion, usually close to the water. There are other reports of meat-eating, and even cannibalism and predation. The stomach anatomy of a hippo is not suited to carnivory, and meat-eating is likely caused by aberrant behaviour or nutritional stress.
