jsfiddle
As you can see in the jsfiddle the scrollbar begin on the bottom of the graph and I have to scroll to the top of the graph to see the first result.

A: It seems that the chart zooms to the end because the maxSelectedSeries property is set - the chart zooms to the last ~x series upon initilzation. You can work around this by adding an init listener that sets the zoom to the desired location upon initilation by calling zoomToIndexes:
var chart = AmCharts.makeChart("chartdiv", {
  // ...
  "listeners": [{
    "event": "init",
    "method": function(e) {
      e.chart.zoomToIndexes(0, 4);
    }
  }]
});

THE VOYAGE OUT (Kobo eBook)
Woolf originally began work on "The Voyage Out" in 1910 and had finished an early draft by 1912. Yet the novel had a long and difficult gestation and was not published until 1915. It was written during a period in which Woolf was especially psychologically vulnerable. She suffered from periods of depression and at one point attempted suicide. The resultant work contained the seeds of all that would blossom in her later work: the innovative narrative style, the focus on feminine consciousness, sexuality and death. Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

How interesting. I guess you never know who you will meet.
What a lovely story about happy coincidences!
Thank goodness for such coincidences. And thank you for your reply.
Serendipity is a gift and yours was well received.
And, off subject, the Rose Apples are fruiting here, always makes me think of you.
And now they make me think of you — and my sisters — too!
What a wonderful way to end this lovely series, dear Cynthia. ❤ I adore it when serendipity or Providence happens; it's the glaze on the donuts (Tim's—of course!).
Thank you, Wendy. Life is mysterious, and such happy moments are a gift.
What a fun turn of events. Kudos Cynthia.
Glad I didn't back out when times got tough, Brad. It all turned out really well, and a gift to all involved.
I've had some of those experiences too. It feels good to finish a hard project. blessings Cynthia.
Such a lovely chance meeting, brought on by laughter and love!
I love your perspective on this, Laurie. Thank you, wise lady.
Oh what a charming story, no doubt a cherished one that will be passed down the generations.
Well said, Kate. And thank you.
I love the ending! It was all meant to be!
Thank you, Andrea. Well said.
Well, I am always a big fan of serendipity – synchronicity – call it what you will — Signposts along the way that somehow we are exactly where we are supposed to be. A lovely "p.s.", Cynthia.
Thank you, my friend. I used to have these 'signposts' happening fairly often in my life pre-accident, but there's a shutting down and closing out that one does when life changes in such drastic ways, and I'm afraid in doing so, I shut out the serendipity too. That's partly what my last line is referring to.
That's really neat. You are right about leaving space for life. You seem to have a gift for that. Thank you for sharing this.
It's truly a small world sometimes especially when you are a warm and inviting person/persons.
How wonderful Cynthia .. some things are just meant to be!

Ian MacIntosh Black (born 27 June 1941) is a Scottish former competitive swimmer who represented Great Britain in international competition, including the Olympics and European championships, and Scotland in the Commonwealth Games, during the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Swimming career
Black was BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1958 at the age of only 17, and is still to date the youngest winner of the award. He earned the BBC honour by winning three gold medals in the 400- and 1500-metre freestyle events, as well as the 200-metre butterfly, at the 1958 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary. In the same year, he also won a gold and two silver medals for Scotland at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales; gold in the 220-yard butterfly, silver in the 440-yard freestyle, and silver in the 4×220-yard freestyle relay.

In 1959 he set a new world record in the 400-metre individual medley, 5 minutes 8.8 seconds, a record that would stand for just over a year until broken by swimmer American George Harrison in 1960.

Black qualified to represent Great Britain in three events at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. In the event final of the men's 400-metre freestyle he was placed fourth, posting the same time as Australian John Konrads (4:21.8), but the judges awarded the bronze medal to Konrads. He was also a member of the British teams in the 4x200-metre freestyle relay and 4x100-metre medley relay events, placing fourth and seventh in the finals, respectively.

When competing for Great Britain, he would proudly display his Scottish identity in good humour by wearing a MacGregor tartan dressing gown poolside. As well as excelling in the water, he was also a formidable rugby union player.  In 2002 he became one of the first fifty Scottish men and women inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.

He won the 1958 and 1959 ASA National Championship 110 yards freestyle titles, the 1958 and 1959 ASA National Championship 220 yards freestyle titles, the 1958 and 1959 ASA National Championship 440 yards freestyle titles  and the 220 yards butterfly title in 19538 and 1959.

Personal life
Black attended Aberdeen University, where he was awarded a Master of Arts and a Certificate in Education.  In the late 1970s he became head teacher of Seafield Primary School in Elgin.  He taught in Canada and he became headmaster of St Christopher's prep school in Bahrain.  In the early 1980s he was headmaster of Sek Kong Primary School in Hong Kong, before moving to Aberlour House School 1987–89.  He later returned to his former school, Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen, as headmaster of the Junior School, and retired in 2004.

This image provided by the Mississippi Department of Corrections shows Axel Cox, 24, of Gulfport, Miss., who was charged with violating the Fair Housing Act after he chose to burn a cross in front of a Black family because of their race, pleaded guilty in federal court to a hate crime, the Justice Department announced Friday, Dec. 2, 2022.

Man pleads guilty to federal hate crime for cross burning
by: MICHAEL GOLDBERG, Associated Press
Posted: Dec 2, 2022 / 01:06 PM MST
Updated: Dec 2, 2022 / 03:30 PM MST
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man who burned a cross in his front yard to intimidate his Black neighbors pleaded guilty to a hate crime in federal court, the Justice Department announced Friday.
Axel Cox, 24, of Gulfport, was charged with violating the Fair Housing Act over the December 2020 incident, according to court records.
The Justice Department said Cox gathered supplies from his home, put together a wooden cross in his front yard and propped it up so his Black neighbors could see it. He then doused it with motor oil and lit it on fire. He also addressed the family with racially derogatory language, records say.
A grand jury indicted him in September. Cox's attorney, Jim Davis, filed a notice of intent for him to plead guilty to the cross burning on Nov. 22, 2022. Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Davis told the Biloxi Sun Herald that Cox was reacting to his neighbors allegedly shooting and killing his dog. He added that his client acted "totally inappropriately."
The Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups have long practiced cross burnings to intimidate Black and Jewish people.
"Burning a cross invokes the long and painful history, particularly in Mississippi, of intimidation and impending physical violence against Black people," said Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "The Department of Justice will continue to prosecute those who use racially motivated violence to drive people away from their homes or communities."
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 9. Cox faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 or both, according to the Justice Department
The Gulfport Police Department and the FBI Jackson Field Office investigated the case.

When a title company seeks to uncover matters affecting title to real property, the answer is, "Quite a bit."
Statements of Information provide title companies with the information they need to distinguish the buyers and sellers of real property from others with similar names. After identifying the true buyers and sellers, title companies may disregard the judgments, liens or other matters on the public records under similar names.
To help you better understand this sensitive subject, the Land Title Association has answered some of the questions most commonly asked about Statements of Information.
What is a Statement of Information?
A Statement of Information is a form routinely requested from the buyer, seller and borrower in a transaction where title insurance is sought. The completed form provides the title company with information needed to adequately examine documents so as to disregard matters which do not affect the property to be insured, matters which actually apply to some other person.
What does a Statement of Information do?
Every day documents affecting real property--liens, court decrees, bankruptcies--are recorded.
Whenever a title company uncovers a recorded document in which the name is the same or similar to that of the buyer, seller or borrower in a title transaction, the title company must ask, "Does this document affect the parties we are insuring?" Because, if it does, it affects title to the property and would, therefore, be listed as an exception from coverage under the title policy.
A properly completed Statement of Information will allow the title company to differentiate between parties with the same or similar names when searching documents recorded by name. This protects all parties involved and allows the title company to competently carry out its duties without unnecessary delay.
What types of information are requested in a Statement of Information?
The information requested is personal in nature, but not unnecessarily so. The information requested is essential to avoid delays in closing the transaction.
You, and your spouse if you are married, will be asked to provide full name, social security number, year of birth, birthplace, and information or citizenship. If you are married, you will be asked the date and place of your marriage or registered domestic partnership.
Residence and employment information will be requested, as will information regarding previous marriages or registered domestic partnerships.
Will the information I supply be kept confidential?
The information you supply is completely confidential and only for title company use in completing the search of records necessary before a policy of title insurance can be issued.
What happens if a buyer, seller or borrower fails to provide the requested Statement of Information?
At best, failure to provide the requested Statement of Information will hinder the search and examination capabilities of the title company, causing delay in the production of your title policy.
At worst, failure to provide the information requested could prohibit the close of your escrow. Without a Statement of Information, it would be necessary for the title company to list as exceptions from coverage judgments, liens or other matters which may affect the property to be insured. Such exceptions would be unacceptable to most lenders, whose interest must also be insured.
Title companies make every attempt in issuing a policy of title insurance to identify known risks affecting your property and to efficiently and correctly transfer title so as to protect your interests as a homebuyer.
By properly completing a Statement of Information, you allow the title company to provide the service you need with the assurance of confidentiality.

A challenge with creating street panoramas from Frankfurt is to combine classic street fronts with Frankfurts skyscrapers. Hence we photographed several street blocks that include high rises and also started with the work on one of these, the Kaiserstrasse together with the Silver Tower and the Gallileo Tower. Beside these street views from the train station district and the bank district we also photographed classic street views in Frankfurts old town, a linear documentation of the Frankfurt stock exchange, the buldings around the Roemerberg and a panorama along the shores of the Main with the typical skyscaper skyline of Frankfurt. An overview of all documented places in Frankfurt can be found in our worldmap.
Below you will also find architecture panoramas that we started to work on but have not finnished yet.


This is the first post of a two post services about the basics of building two types of Funnel charts in Tableau. Funnel charts in Tableau are used to represent various levels of a process or any logical progression in the form of funnels with a top-down approach. The size of the funnel can be shown through any measures like Revenue, Sales or Profits etc.
To calculate potential measures (Sales/deals/profit/etc.) by stages.
To calculate 'survival rate' and 'conversion' at every stage.
Funnel charts are very useful in identifying the problem areas in a process or identifying the biggest sales proportion. The tutorial below outlines the basic process of how to build a funnel chart in Tableau.
Funnel chart type 1: To calculate potential measures (sales /profits/revenues etc.) across various stages or types.
Objective: Use a Funnel Chart to identify the best 'ship mode' that contributes to more sales and the proportions of sales for different ship modes available.
I am using a Sample-Superstore dataset to build this funnel chart.
Connect to Sample: Connect to the data source. I am connecting to "Superstore_Sample (Excel)" excel file under My Tableau Repository folder on my machine.
2.) Drag the worksheet into the "Drag Sheets Here" section and click the Go to Worksheet button.
Once the data displays, conduct the below steps.
a) Drag the "Sales" dimension to "Rows" shelf.
b) "Ship mode" to Colors," Sales" to Size in Marks card.
c) Select Automatic chart in Marks card.
Sort "ship mode" in descending order based on the sales amount.
To label the stages, Drag "Ship mode" and "Sales" to Label in the marks card.
5. Sheet Title: Right click on sheet and enter the details in the pop-up box.
Insight: From the funnel chart we can easily identify the sales percentages for each Ship mode and 'Standard class' ship mode contributes to more sales (around 60%).
Check back for our second post on the basics of building funnel charts in Tableau.

Q: Android E/ExtMediaPlayer-JNI: env->IsInstanceOf fails E/MediaPlayer-JNI: JNIMediaPlayerFactory: bIsQCMediaPlayerPresent 0 I am trying to play video song in my app with video-view. But I get nothing except a black screen, and display error 'can't play video'.It seems there are no errors as such in the code except log cat errors which I have never heard of.
VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_view_ex);

    MediaController mediaController= new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);

    Uri uri= Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+"/Memory Card/Video/Na Na Na Na -DJ 9dip.mp4");
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
    videoView.requestFocus();
    videoView.start();

A: I guess it was because "/Memory Card/Video/Na Na Na Na -DJ 9dip.mp4"
Is already the path and, as you add Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
It creates a non-valid Uri, because the error you mention is reffered to a inexistent resource. Try leaving it instead:
Uri uri= Uri.parse("/Memory Card/Video/Na Na Na Na -DJ 9dip.mp4");

Background: The aim was to update information on oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL), a disease of verrucous‐like lesions with high risk of malignancy, and its biomarkers.
Methods: A systematic search of literature on PVL and its biomarkers showed 22 biomarkers that were investigated in 19 papers. A meta‐analysis was possible for human papillomavirus (HPV), aneuploidy, Ki‐67, and p53.
Results: Aneuploidy was found consistently (I2 = 0%, P = 0.61) in 92% (95% CI 80%‐99%) of the PVL cases. P53 positivity prevalence was 27% (95% CI 15%‐40%) in two available studies (I2 = 0%, P = 0.64). With HPV and Ki‐67, the most outlying studies needed to be removed and after that the pooled HPV positivity prevalence (I2 = 24%, P = 0.27) was 5% (95% CI 0%‐14%) and for Ki‐67 (I2 = 9%, P = 0.33) 14% (95% CI 6%‐26%).
Conclusions: With the evidence of the current literature, aneuploidy could value as a biomarker of PVL but should be further validated.

Utqiagvik (?)
This link came up on my Facebook news feed and I was curious: I wonder if they're talking about Barrow? I clicked on the link and found out that I was wrong, it's Utqiagvik. Utqiagvik? I'm not familiar with Utqiagvik. So I looked up the city on Wikipedia and found out that Utqiagvik IS Barrow.
What kind of chicanery is CNN trying to pull? Well, for once CNN is just reporting the news. Back in 1959, Alaska became a state and one of the first cities to incorporate after statehood was Barrow.
Barrow had been an American Outpost since 1901 when a post office was built there. But apparently, before 1901, the location was home to the Iñupiat people, an indigenous Inuit ethnic group, for over a thousand years.
So in 2016, the population of 4,300 (or so) voted to return the name of the city to its original moniker, Utqiagvik, by a vote of 381 to 375. Why didn't I notice the vote? It happened right before the contentious 2016 Trump/Clinton election.
I'm a little soft on my Alaskan politics, but is this happening all over Alaska? Not to my knowledge, but it's not the first time I've heard this type of story.
Back in the year 1999, for all essential purposes, the Northwest Territories in Canada were split into half. Mostly English speakers in the West continued to be the Northwest Territories and the mostly Inuktitut speakers in the East became the Territory of Nunavut. Now Frobisher Bay was just another northern Canadian outpost until 1987 when the townspeople decided to change their city's name back to the traditional name of Iqaluit. In 1995, it was agreed that Iqaluit would be the capital of the new territory.
Now Frobisher Bay was named after Martin Frobisher who got lost looking for a Northwest passage to China about 400 years earlier.
Barrow, Alaska was named after Sir John Barrow, who had never been to Barrow, but was a great promoter of Arctic Voyages. Even though these are only limited cases, I think that these examples may pave the way for more name changes on the continent in the future. Back to traditional Native-American designations.
Why? Let's take a quick geography test. What is the tallest mountain in North America? If you said Mount McKinley, you are wrong. That same mountain had been known as Denali for hundreds of years. The U.S. Government assigned the name Mount McKinley to the mountain in 1917. The name stood for nearly a century until President Obama returned the peak to its original moniker in 2015. Do yourself a favor and DON'T google Obama and Anti-Colonialism. That is a dry, dry read.
Don't know why the Barrow name change is even bothering me. It's not like the eskimos....
Ugh, I just learned that the word eskimo is offensive. I guess we need to stick with Inuit.
It's not like Inuits are going to rise up and start a revolution.
If you look on the other side of the world, things are really percolating on the Ukrainian-Russian border. Look in Ukraine, there's a ton of city name changes in the past century. Maybe in my head, name changes are a symbol of upheaval. Go ahead and cross the border into Russia where there's literally hundreds of city name changes since the 1917 Russian Revolution.
St. Petersburg, Russia, for example, can trace its roots back into the early 1700's. In 1914, the name of the city was changed from St. Petersburg to Petrograd. Ten years later, Petrograd became Leningrad. And after perestroika, Leningrad's name returned to St. Petersburg.
I don't want politics to dictate the name of the city in which I live.
Back in the early 1970's, I used to go camping on my Great-Grandparent's farmland in Russia, Ohio. Population 420, in the southwestern section of the state, my Grandmother would scold me, it's not
RUSSIA, it's ROO-shee. She told me some people in town wanted to change the name of the city, (it was the depths of the Cold War), but she was prophetic in saying that the Cold War wouldn't last forever.
I haven't been back to Russia since my Grandmother passed away. Since her death, the population has spiked to nearly 700 people. I'd show you a picture of the old farm, but Russia doesn't even have a street view on GoogleMaps.

What is Green Infrastructure?
Green infrastructure captures rain water where it falls and absorbs water into the ground, keeping it out of the sewer system. This is especially important in places with a lot of paved surface.
Green Infrastructure, as opposed to gray infrastructure like sewers, can take numerous forms like rain gardens, barrels, and porous pavers for parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks. All of these strategies store or absorb rain where it falls, keeping it out of our sewer system, which helps:
Protect rivers and lakes from water pollution.
Keep it from becoming someone else's headache downstream.
Reduce the risk of basement backups, flooding, and sewer overflow.
Stormwater GI Resources
Even though the Harbor District is in the very heart of Milwaukee and has been the center of economic activity for centuries, there is still a healthy community of organisms that live here. From mammals like deer, coyotes, gray and red fox, muskrats, beavers, groundhogs, squirrels, and bats all the way down to dragonflies, insects, and barely visible invertebrates in the water, a rich ecology is thriving just out of sight. The Harbor District has identified ways to improve habitat so that more things besides humans can find a home here, through rebuilding ecological functioning of the landscape. We do this by considering the needs of organisms for food, reproduction, shelter, and movement. Finding opportunities to re-introduce native plants and reserving space for animals is at the heart of this implementation, while also encouraging everyone to remember that nature is right here if you just stop to look and listen.
Harbor District has partnered with the Urban Ecology Center and Milwaukee Public Museum to learn more about the wildlife present. In 2019, we conducted surveys of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, bats, and mammals. We found over sixty different species!
A great way to help collect information on wildlife and plants in the Harbor District is to use the smartphone app iNaturalist. It connects you with experts who can identify the species you find and keeps a log of everything you have observed.
Even within our developed urban landscape, many different kinds of animals make a home or roam through. We can improve the Harbor District's ability to support wildlife by considering their needs and incorporating native plants and trees, connections between green spaces, and softening armored shorelines.
The Harbor District Terrestrial Habitat Plan (2020) identifies current and potential habitat areas and a vision for improving the ability of the Harbor District to support a rich and diverse biotic community.
MILWAUKEE AREA OF CONCERN (AOC)
Milwaukee's waterways, including the inner harbor at the heart of the Harbor District, bear the legacy of decades of pollution and contamination from past industries, dumping of sanitary waste, and other degradation. In fact, the EPA has characterized our estuary as one of the most "impaired" around the Great Lakes and designated it an "Area of Concern." Harbor District, Inc. is active in efforts to clean up the contamination, repair ecological function, and make other improvements that will allow us to remove the Area of Concern designation.
Read more about the AOC
Trash Wheel
Harbor District, Inc. is exploring the possibility of having a "trash wheel" on the Kinnickinnic River to help collect trash and debris before it floats to the Inner Harbor and to Lake Michigan.
The trash wheel, a stationary trash-collecting device, includes a water wheel which runs a conveyor belt. A pair of booms direct trash floating down the river to the conveyor belt, and then trash is collected in a dumpster for removal.
The trash wheel technology was pioneered in Baltimore in 2014 by inventor John Kellett. There, "Mr. Trash Wheel" and "Professor Trash Wheel" have collected over 1.3 million pounds of trash in the past 3 years out of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Mr. Trash Wheel is very active on Twitter and is helping to spread the word about the health of Baltimore's waterways. We think Milwaukee would be a great place for Mr. Trash Wheel's cousin to get to work cleaning our urban rivers, too.
To learn more about our inspiration, Mr. Trash Wheel, please visit http://baltimorewaterfront.com/healthy-harbor/water-wheel/.
Habitat Hotels
WHAT ARE HABITAT HOTELS?
The Harbor District Habitat Hotels are underwater habitats retrofitted for steel sheet piling. They provide multiple vertical layers of habitat, including underwater plants, hiding places for fish, and food for fish, and mimic the habitat that might be found along more naturalized river shorelines.
CHECK OUT THE UNDERWATER FOOTAGE!
The downtown portions of the Menomonee, Kinnickinnic, and Milwaukee Rivers are dominated by steel sheet piling shorelines, making it extremely difficult for plants to grow along the bank. Steel sheet piling provides almost no habitat benefits, but it is used widely in urban areas because it serves other important purposes: protecting buildings and properties from flooding and storms, providing deep channels needed for shipping and boating, and allowing large freighter ships to easily dock. Further, the inner harbor is also dredged to maintain depths of 25+ feet to support shipping and industry in the area. As such, the inner harbor area of Milwaukee is known as an aquatic desert, lacking habitat and opportunities for fish to find food and cover. The Habitat Hotels provide needed "pit stops" for fish as they travel through the inner harbor between Lake Michigan and Milwaukee's three rivers.
By introducing Habitat Hotels in the Red Zone, we are connecting areas of better habitat in the rivers to the habitat in Lake Michigan. Many fish swim between the rivers and the Lake to reproduce or to complete other life stages, so the inner harbor serves as a very important intersection.
Habitat Hotels are currently installed in three distinct locations across the Harbor District and are marked with fish art painted in the Harbor District colors. As the UW-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences continues working on their Harbor Habitat Mapping Project, we will prioritize future installation locations based on potential improvements to habitat connectivity – essentially making a string of Habitat Hotels between other areas of rich habitat – in the Inner Harbor.

DESIGNING HABITAT HOTELS
We received funding from the Fund for Lake Michigan to explore habitat solutions for steel sheet piling. This funding allowed Harbor District staff to work with scientists, staff, and students from UW-Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences to inform the Habitat Hotel design process. In April 2018, the Habitat Hotels were granted a provisional patent shared by UW-Milwaukee and Harbor District, Inc.
PILOT PROJECT
We received a Mini Grant from the Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, initiating the pilot phase. The pilot study included building 8 Habitat Hotels and installing them in May 2017.
Welding students from Bradley Technical High School build the Habitat Hotels as part of a class project. Over 100 students have been exposed to the project and have learned about Milwaukee's aquatic ecology. Students get to apply the technical skills they are learning to a real-world solution.
HABITAT HOTEL LOCATIONS
We work with great partners who serve as "site hosts" for the Habitat Hotels, including The School of Freshwater Science, Elementis LTP, and Paul Davis Restoration.

20 Women Who Could Host the Oscars
Nicole Villeneuve
The 2019 Oscars are set to take place on Sunday, February 24, and as of January 10, still do not have a host following Kevin Hart's decision to step down amid backlash over old homophobic tweets. According to some reports, the show will instead use various celebrities (including the cast of The Avengers) to introduce different segments. The Academy has remained silent so far on telecast plans, but if they change their minds about not having a host — or just want to get a head start on next year — we'd like to suggest the gig be given to one or more of these hilarious women who light up the screen, often even from the stage as a presenter at various awards shows. (Photos via Getty Images)
Melissa McCarthy: McCarthy has already proved herself a pro at hosting live TV as one of the funniest and most memorable recurring Saturday Night Live hosts, and while her genius physical comedy might be more at home in sketches, her infectious presence and warmth would absolutely shine on the Oscars stage. It's also possible that McCarthy could potentially land a Best Actress nomination for her role in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which, as we saw from Golden Globes co-host Sandra Oh's win for Killing Eve, makes for some extra special television. Plus: she might bring more secret sandwiches! (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
Tiffany Haddish: After presenting alongside Maya Rudolph at the 2018 Oscars, viewers immediately called for one or both of the two stars to helm the 2019 telecast. The Night School actress has experience hosting SNL and the MTV Movie & TV Awards, and she's already said she's game — as long as she gets paid, naturally. Haddish's outrageous energy would be a breath of fresh air at the Oscars, and to borrow a phrase from the comedian herself, we're ready! (Photo via Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images for Meesika)
Maya Rudolph: Rudolph slayed alongside Haddish at the 2018 Oscars, and her proposal bit with Amy Poehler at the 2019 Golden Globes proves she's game to do what it takes to entertain viewers. She's also a master impressionist and a fearless and confident comedian — which rank pretty high on the list of what it takes to carry Hollywood's biggest night. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
Awkwafina: After a breakout year with roles in Ocean's 8 and Crazy Rich Asians, former YouTube star Awkwafina is becoming a household name — but she's still an unpredictable-enough choice to bring some potential new viewers and intrigue to the sometimes-stuffy awards circuit. Plus, her comedic chops and energy made for one of the funniest segments on John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's Legendary Christmas special. (Photo via Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)
Constance Wu: Like her Crazy Rich Asians costar Awkwafina, Wu had a big year. What better way to celebrate her accomplishments — and the recent historic steps forward for Asian actresses, in general — than by giving her a spotlight at the Oscars? As Jessica on Fresh Off the Boat (which airs on the Oscars' network, ABC), Wu is one of the funniest women currently working on TV. She'd shine. (Photo via John Sciulli/Getty Images for FIJI Water)
Kristen Wiig: Her comedy stylings might be a little left-of-center of those of fellow SNL alum Maya Rudolph, but Wiig has twice stolen the show as a Golden Globes presenter: once with Will Ferrell in 2013, and again with a hilariously dark bit alongside Steve Carrell in 2017. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: The three years that Fey and Poehler co-hosted the Golden Globes, from 2013 to 2015, were truly, well, golden. These two have decades of comedic chemistry, and they're Hollywood veterans and hosting pros. There is no reason to not let them host literally all the things. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Louis-Dreyfus has delivered acceptance speech gold in the five consecutive years she's won Emmys trophies for her role as Selina Meyer in Veep. We get the feeling that she might bring Selina's super-relatable "over-it" vibe to the Oscars, too, and we're kind of into it. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Kate McKinnon: McKinnon would bring tons of live TV experience and Emmy-winning comedic chops to the Oscars — plus those genuine weirdo qualities that we love her for, ensuring tons of memorable moments and memes from the evening. (Photo via Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)
Allison Janney: Janney is an awards show veteran — she even nabbed her first Academy Award for I, Tonya in 2018 — who tends to totally steal the show at the podium. The actress' recent role in Hereditary earned some Oscar buzz early on, and while the film didn't get any Golden Globes love, we'd love to see Janney make an appearance on the Oscars stage one way or the other — or both. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
Queen Latifah: Beloved music, movie, and TV legend Queen Latifah has several hosting stints under her belt, including the 2014 Grammy Awards and multiple appearances on Saturday Night Live. There was even a petition to have her host the Oscars a few years ago. Having Latifah host would feel like a return to a more familiar version of the establishment awards show — and we mean that in the best way possible. (Photo via Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images)
Regina Hall: Hall's lengthy comedic résumé places her in esteemed hosting territory alongside some of the show's biggest past names, and her recent turn in Support the Girls challenged our expectations of her output in the same way seeing her lead the Oscars telecast would. She also slays the late-night talk show circuit and is no stranger to an awards show. We're just saying, Academy. Think about it. (Photo via Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images for BET)
The Ocean's 8 Cast: Awkwafina's name has already appeared on this wish list, but we'd love to see the Academy do something bold and different, like have the all-star Ocean's 8 cast take over hosting duties. The crew — which also includes Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, and 2011 Oscars co-host Anne Hathaway — could easily split into several combinations to introduce presenters and segments, keeping things fresh and very, very fun.

SPY MAKES VISUAL EFFECTS INVISIBLE WITH NVIDIA QUADRO
June 28, 2011 by Dominick Spina
SPY, a San Francisco-based visual effects studio, is devoted to ensuring its work looks seamlessly realistic. As its web site states: In the world of espionage, the best spies go unnoticed. The same can be said of post-production and visual effects, where doing our job well often entails making the work appear invisible.
To achieve this mission, SPY turns to NVIDIA GPUs.
The studio's most recent work can be seen on the big screen in "Priest," the new post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller from Screen Gems, in which a warrior man of the cloth ventures out from hiding when his niece is kidnapped by a pack of murderous vampires.
To bring this story to life, SPY helped create 125 visual effects shots, including a major sequence involving a high-impact train collision. Key to this work were NVIDIA's Quadro professional GPUs, which delivered speed and flexibility.

"One of the things we did extensively in our shots for 'Priest' was blow stuff up," Mike Janov, SPY's VFX supervisor, explains. "Without Quadro cards, we wouldn't have been able to interactively manipulate and display shaders, particles and detailed CG effects elements necessary in developing the look of our sequences."
SPY's work on "Priest" illustrates their ability to integrate photo-realistic set extensions and scene enhancements that appear as if they were shot in-camera. Accelerated with Quadro GPUs, SPY's special-effects pipeline consists of Autodesk Maya for hard surface modeling; NVIDIA mental ray for rendering; Autodesk 3ds Max for dynamics and effects; and Thinkbox Software's Krakatoa for particle effects. Compositing is done using The Foundry's NUKE and Autodesk Flame.

SPY is currently putting its Quadro-accelerated pipeline on two features and several commercial spots including one for Sprint and the launch of the new HTC EVO stereoscopic 3D phone. Other recent projects include visual effects shots for "Avatar", "Iron Man," "The Rite," starring Anthony Hopkins, and commercials for Exxon, Activision's "Call of Duty", and National Geographic's Feature length documentary, "Collapse."
SPY has been building CG workstations since the 1990s and relies on optimizing VFX pipeline performance across all of its projects.
"There are a lot of hurdles to overcome when multiple artists are collaborating to produce photo real shots," said Eric Hanson, co-founder of SPY and SVP at FotoKem Creative Services, which now owns the studio. "We have always been able to overcome those hurdles with NVIDIA GPUs in all of the platforms we deploy. We work with Quadro graphics cards because of what the technology brings to our VFX pipeline and the confidence that we'll be properly supported by NVIDIA."

Q: Script to detect mouse clicks like a screen saver while ignoring mouse movement Would like to disconnect an nic after a minute of user inactivity, where inactivity is defined as no mouse clicks or wheel scrolls. Mouse movement is to be ignored so xscreensaver is not suitable and neither is xautolock. How can mouse events be detected from the command line and differentiated?

A: Based on meuh's instructions, here is how this "screen saver" was done:
#!/bin/bash
evemu-record /dev/input/event2 |
stdbuf -oL egrep 'EV_KEY|REL_WHEEL' |
(
    ./network_saver.sh
)

Where network_saver.sh is this:
#!/bin/bash
WAIT=5
while [ 1 ]
do
    echo Waiting for $WAIT seconds of mouse button inactivity
    while read -t $WAIT line
    do
        echo -n .
    done
    echo; echo Disabling networking
    nmcli n off
    echo Waiting for a mouse button press
    while read line
    do
        echo -n .
        break;
    done
    echo; echo Enabling networking
    nmcli n on
    # Connect the main nic as soon as possible
    nmcli conn up "Ethernet connection 1" >/dev/null
done

A: If you don't want to write a program to do this, there are several programs that will show you mouse events. For example, evemu-record on a mouse input device will show each button press, wheel scroll, and movement in a very verbose output such as (shown edited):
E: 0001 0111 0001  # EV_KEY / BTN_RIGHT            1
E: 0000 0000 0000  # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +552ms
E: 0002 0008 -001  # EV_REL / REL_WHEEL            -1
E: 0000 0000 0000  # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +1016ms
E: 0002 0000 0001  # EV_REL / REL_X                1
E: 0002 0001 0003  # EV_REL / REL_Y                3

Run evemu-record with no arguments for it to list the input devices. In my case it was
/dev/input/event5:      Logitech USB Optical Mouse

then you can write a bash shell script such as:
( pid=$BASHPID
  evemu-record /dev/input/event5 |
  stdbuf -oL egrep 'EV_KEY|REL_WHEEL' |
  ( while read -t 5 junk
    do echo -n .
    done
    echo ok
    kill -pipe $pid
  )
)

This uses egrep to filter out all but the button and wheel lines, using stdbuf to ensure output is not buffered (though your grep may accept the option --line-buffered which does the same). The while loop reads each line and echoes a ".", but if there is no input for 5 seconds (-t 5) the loop stops. Finally, a kill is needed for the pipeline, which will otherwise not end until a new event is detected and the egrep dies with a SIGPIPE. Using kill -pipe sends a SIGPIPE signal, which avoids the error messages you would get from kill -hup. The outer shell (...) is needed to get a process id for the shell ($BASHPID) that will not kill any surrounding shell code.
Alternatively, you can get a stream of PS/2 data from /dev/input/mice, but I don't know the full details of the format. You can see the 3 byte records with
od -v -An -w3 -tx1 /dev/input/mice

Hywind Scotland, the first floating wind farm in the world, has started to deliver electricity to the Scottish grid. Today the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, officially opens the wind farm.
The 30MW wind farm, operated by Statoil in partnership with Masdar, is located 25 kilometers offshore Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and will power approximately 20,000 households.
"Hywind can be used for water depths up to 800 meters, thus opening up areas that so far have been inaccessible for offshore wind. The learnings from Hywind Scotland will pave the way for new global market opportunities for floating offshore wind energy. Through their government's support to develop the Hywind Scotland project, the UK and Scotland are now at the forefront of the development of this exciting new technology. Statoil looks forward to exploring the next steps for floating offshore wind," says Irene Rummelhoff, executive vice president of the New Energy Solutions business area in Statoil.
In an opening event in Aberdeen today the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon officially opens the world's first floating wind farm.
"I am delighted to open Hywind Scotland—the world's first floating wind farm. Hywind will provide clean energy to over twenty thousand homes and will help us meet our ambitious climate change targets."
"This marks an exciting development for renewable energy in Scotland. Our support for floating offshore wind is testament to this government's commitment to the development of this technology and, coupled with Statoil's Battery Storage Project, Batwind, puts us at the forefront of this global race and positions Scotland as a world centre for energy innovation," says the First Minister.

The onshore operations and maintenance base for Hywind Scotland is located in Peterhead, while the operations center is located in Great Yarmouth. Linked to the Hywind Scotland project Statoil and partner Masdar will also install Batwind, a 1MWh Lithium battery storage solution for offshore wind energy.
Battery storage has the potential to mitigate intermittency and optimise output.
Crown Estate Scotland leases seabed to renewables developers and works to encourage development and attract investment. Sian Wilson of Crown Estate Scotland said:
"It's fantastic to see Hywind Scotland up and running. The project is a great success for the teams at Statoil and Masdar and for Scotland, where floating wind could really flourish due to our accessible deeper waters. We are committed to continuing our work to encourage floating offshore wind projects, which will in turn drive down costs, benefitting the whole sector—as well as the climate and consumers."

In recent years, there have been significant cost reductions in both the onshore and bottom fixed offshore wind sectors. Floating wind is expected to follow a similar downward trajectory over the next decade, making it cost competitive with other renewable energy sources.
"Statoil has an ambition to reduce the costs of energy from the Hywind floating wind farm to € 40-60 €/MWh by 2030. Knowing that up to 80% of the offshore wind resources are in deep waters (+60 meters) where traditional bottom fixed installations are not suitable, floating offshore wind is expected to play a significant role in the growth of offshore wind going forward," says Rummelhoff.
Mohamed Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, is pointing to that future opportunities are already being assessed.
"Masdar has a long-standing commitment to renewable energy in the United Kingdom, and we are immensely proud to deliver our first project in Scotland alongside our partners," says Al Ramahi.
"Hywind Scotland is showing that floating wind technology can be commercially viable wherever sea depths are too great for conventional fixed offshore wind power. This opens up a number of new geographies, and we are already looking at future opportunities with our partners, building on our existing international portfolio in onshore and offshore wind energy, and solar power," he says.
Hywind Scotland is adding to Statoil's strong UK presence, and over the last few years Statoil's footprint has grown in the UK. In Aberdeen over 1500 are employees in the final phase of commissioning the Mariner oil field, one of the largest upstream UKCS developments in the last ten years, due to come onstream in 2018.
Statoil already has a sizeable renewables portfolio with an offshore wind portfolio with the capacity of providing over 1 million homes with renewable energy. Statoil operates the Sheringham Shoal wind farm in the UK, which has been in production since 2012.
The Dudgeon offshore wind farm in the UK, also operated by Statoil has now been completed and is also in production. In 2016 Statoil also acquired 50% of the Arkona offshore wind farm in Germany, which will deliver power in 2019. Statoil recently announced the acquisition of a 40% share in the construction ready 162MW Apodi solar asset in Brazil.

'Great deal' for Jeff Bezos, but not taxpayers, Tucker says.
Tucker Carlson invited a tech entrepreneur on his program Thursday night to discuss Amazon getting large tax breaks after the company announced it would build half of its HQ2 site in the New York City borough of Queens.
New York's top politicians, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, have faced a backlash after it was revealed that the tech giant is set to get a package of more than $1.5 billion in taxpayer-funded incentives, which include such freebies as a helipad on or near the development sites.
Tucker noted that the locations of Amazon's next headquarters -- New York City and Northern Virginia -- are "two of the bluest" areas in the United States.
"For about a hundred years, the Democratic Party was the party of America's working class. Not anymore," Carlson said. "Now the Democratic Party is the party of merciless corporate power, of Google, Facebook and the rest, and they'll punish you if you get in their way."
He said this is a "great deal" for Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos -- the richest man in the world -- but it's not for taxpayers.
He said New York City's infrastructure is "crumbling" and those tax dollars could be spent on important projects like fixing the subway system.
Eric Schiffer, CEO of Patriarch Equity, noted that there was a competitive bidding process for Amazon's new headquarters, with many states hoping to lure the tech giant.
FoxBusiness.com reported that Amazon plans to make a $2.5 billion investment in real estate and local infrastructure in both Long Island City and Crystal City, Virginia, along with hiring 25,000 new employees in each location with an estimated average salary of $150,000.
"People still want jobs across the country, they still want good-paying jobs," Schiffer said. "People in the Bronx and Queens, they haven't had investment and jobs in about 100 years." The New York City complex will be in Long Island City, Queens.
Carlson acknowledged that the Amazon headquarters could bring economic opportunity and investment, but he questioned if that would actually benefit taxpayers.
"Why would the Democratic Party hand the richest man in the world three billion dollars a year to move to New York without asking what the taxpayers think, in a city that's literally falling apart?"
Watch the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" debate above.


All organisations are comprised of people, and all humans have shadows – light ones and dark ones. No religion or philosophy worth its salt denies this reality. The most universal catch-all reference to this state is the 'Human Condition' and its concomitant suffering. It follows that all people are dysfunctional, to a degree. All families are dysfunctional, to a degree. All countries are dysfunctional, to a degree. The world is dysfunctional, to a degree. How then can one expect organisations to be paragons of utopian harmony? It's simply the inevitable outcome of the human condition at play in all group dynamics.
She relaxed somewhat, and the tension passed. But the exchange caused me to wonder how pervasive the levels of organisational-dysfunction-denial must be, and the extent to which the assumption that all should be well exists.
So, what to do? Well, it's a question of where you are on the spectrum and how to systematically shift from low-functioning to high-functioning capabilities, and in so doing to radically differentiate yourself from your competitors, who are more likely than not to remain less consciously and systemically evolved than you – post transformation.

Don't miss out on new government-backed saving scheme
Posted by Newry Times News
info@newrytimes.com
Thursday, March 7th, 2019
More than 90,000 people have signed up to the Government's new saving account – Help to Save – depositing over £13 million.
The account offers working people on low incomes a 50% bonus, rewarding savers with 50p for every £1 saved.
Over four years, a maximum bonus of £1,200 is available on savings of up to £2,400. Over 250 people each day are taking up the offer and customers are making the most of its maximum £50 a month deposit, saving on average around £47 each month.
Separate research published by HMRC today shows that Help to Save makes saving achievable, affordable and worthwhile, with some participants now seeing themselves as 'savers' rather than 'spenders'.
John Glen, Economic Secretary to the Treasury said, "Savings are an essential part of planning for the future, so it's good to see thousands of people getting into the habit with Help to Save.
He added, "Anyone who is eligible should take a look and sign up. It's flexible, secure and easy to use. Even if you can only save a small amount each month, it will help you prepare for whatever the future brings, and you'll get a 50% boost on your savings from the government, too."
Help to Save helps those on lower incomes build up a 'rainy day' fund, and encourages a long-term savings habit. How much is saved and when is up to the account holder, and they don't need to pay in every month to get a bonus.
Help to Save is available to working people on Tax Credits, or Universal Credit claimants with a minimum earned income equivalent to 16 hours per week at the National Living Wage in their last assessment period.
Account holders can save between £1 and £50 every calendar month and accounts last for four years from the date the account is opened.
After two years, savers get a 50% tax-free bonus on the highest balance they've achieved. If they continue saving they could receive another 50% tax-free bonus after a further two years.
On maximum savings of £2,400 over 4 years, the overall bonus would be £1,200.
To check eligibility, apply and get more information savers can visit www.gov.uk/helptosave or use the HMRC app.

San Diego Goes International on Make Music Day
Make Music Day returns to San Diego
By Matthew Burke • Published May 6, 2017 • Updated on November 30, 2019 at 1:13 am
Dust off your old bagpipes and electric triangles and put them to good use on Wednesday, June 21, for the return of Make Music Day San Diego.
The all day celebration began in France back in 1982 as the Féte de la Musique, and it has become a worldwide affair that is open for all ages and skill levels. The event isn't limited to genre either: Jazz, hip-hop, R&B, disco, rock and nerdcore electro-pop are all welcome.
Taking place on the longest day of the year (summer solstice), the global celebration encourages you to join over 700 cities spanning over 120 countries by playing music with strangers, friends and families in the streets, parks, patios, plazas and/or any public area.
Balboa Park and the Museum of Making Music will host events exclusive to San Diego -- one of which is the debut performance of the San Diego Parlor Orchestra, who will be performing their rendition of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony at the Zoro Gardens in Balboa Park. A full schedule of events is scheduled for posting on MakeMusicSD.org on June 1, 2017.
Musician, people-pleaser, lover, fighter and writer Matthew Craig Burke has been spewing musical words of wisdom since never. He lives off of peanut butter sandwiches, beer and Beck Hansen. Follow his updates on Facebook or contact him directly.

More than 13,000 people have signed a petition asking Cardi B not to play RodeoHouston

UPDATE: RodeoHouston officials have responded to the online petition. You can read the original story below.
More than 13,000 people have signed a petition asking Cardi B not to play RodeoHouston. But it's not because of her music.
The Care2 petition asks the Grammy-winning rapper to withdraw because of RodeoHouston's treatment of animals.
GIRL POWER: Kaci, Cardi and Gaga rule the Grammys
"Horrible news, animal lovers: Cardi B is headlining an event chock-full of animal abuse: the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo," it begins.
"Cardi B has 11 dogs, that's how much she loves animals. She may not know all the ways animals are being abused to make this Houston event go on though. That's why it's up to us, her fans, to ask her not to use her name and popularity to support such gruesome behavior."
The petition criticizes the calf scramble and other rodeo events. A cursory search doesn't turn up petitions asking any other performers to step down.
Cardi B is scheduled to perform March 1 at RodeoHouston. The show is sold out, so don't expect her to cancel anything. She became the first solo female to win the best rap album Grammy during Sunday's ceremony.

Q: Integral Test for Convergence Using Finite Sum I need some help understanding what this question is asking me to do.

Do we calculate a finite sum for some arbitrary l and then calculate the integral? How do we apply this estimate to the limit?

A: When you are evaluating a series $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\infty}a_{i}$ You can think of it as summing the areas of rectangles with width $1$ and height $a_i$. Effectively you have a Rectangular Approximation of an Integral, like so (not exact, but works):

So as you can see this Rectangular Approximation is an underestimate of the integral of the function. Meaning, if the integral of the function to infinity converges, then the series representing the sum of the Rectangular Approximations must also converge. Given, that the Approximation is an underestimate. The Rectangular Approximation for $f(x)$ from $1$ to $\infty$ with rectangles of width 1 would be $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\infty}f(i)$. Now if $f(x)$ is integrable, and is approaching $0$, and the sequence $f(i)$ is either always positive or negative. If you evaluate $\int\limits_{1}^{\infty}f(x)dx$ to be a number, then the series must converge because as discussed earlier, the series is an underestimate (or overestimate if the series is always negative) of the actual integral so then, if all the terms of the series is always positive (or always negative) then the series would evaluate to a value between the integral and $0$, and so the series converges.
If the integral diverges however, we can think of the the Riemann sums,and hence series, to be an overestimate (underestimate in the negative case) by reindexing the series. So if the integral diverges (underestimate in the negative case), and the series is an overestimate, then the series diverges.
So the problem is asking you to evaluate, for each of the series $\sum\limits_{i=2}^{\infty}f(i)$, the integral $\int\limits_{2}^{\infty}f(x)dx$ and use the convergence of the integral to determine the convergence of the series.


From Rivers of Honduras to South Philadelphia: join Philly Thrive, Action United, LeftRoots, and the Grassroots Global Justice alliance to stand in solidarity with frontline communities across the globe!
On Tuesday, July 26, an delegation of frontline leaders will bear witness to community leaders who are standing up against the refinery and the expansion of the extractive economy in their neighborhood. From a journey that begins at the RNC in Cleveland and ends at the DNC in Philly, The It Takes Roots to Change the System Caravan will be making its final stop: a "Toxic Tour" led by Philly Thrive and Action United. The It Takes Roots Caravan is a delegation of diverse frontline communities from across the country and around the world who are taking a stand to say "NO!" to extractive economies and "YES!" to a just transition.
We collectively demand that the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority seriously consider proposals for Southport that will provide sustainable jobs that do not depend on further extraction. We know that Governor Wolf selects the Board of the Port Authority, who will ultimately make this decision. We invite Governor Wolf to join our delegation on our "Toxic Tour" of Philadelphia's largest refinery to hear the stories from communities on the frontlines. Members of COPINH (Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras) , who are fighting for their land for their water, will be joining the tour, bearing witness to the struggle for safe and healthy communities in Philadelphia.
As we take action during the DNC, we find common ground in being united in our struggles to combat environmental racism and the corporate/government connections which keep these systems in place. We know that as Governor Wolf attends the DNC, the health of many communities is impacted by fossil fuel expansion. We know that as Hillary Clinton applauds fracking, communities in Honduras are threatened and face murder based on her foreign policy.


Here's 3 ways to use yoga and mindfulness to celebrate National Insect Week!
It's National Insect week (what do you mean you didn't know!) and this week YOGADOO teachers have taken an "insect" theme for their yoga and mindfulness sessions in schools. Where possible, we've taken classes outside, and furthermore tried to place our yoga mats amongst our insect friends.
Bee: Bumblebee breath buzzzzzzzzz - put your hand on your head to feel the vibrations!
2. Go for a mindful nature walk: Stop and look closely at the leaves, the trees, the logs, the grass. Notice all of the tiny details, can you see any creatures or insects living there? If you are very careful, take a see-through jar and place the insect inside so you can have a closer look, maybe even with a magnifying glass. But make sure you do not harm the creatures and put them back where you find them. You could even download a "Insect spotter" sheet like these and go and explore your garden or park and notice all the wonderful creatures who live around you.
3. Enjoy a tree meditation where you sit and you listen to the sounds of the trees moving in the breeze, try to listen for birdsong and maybe insects buzzing or flying past. Take the longest, slowest, deepest breaths that you can for five minutes, close your eyes and notice as may sounds close by and further away, as possible.
Notice how sitting still and breathing deeply makes you feel.
National Insect week runs until the 24th June and is organised by the Royal Entomological Society Why not have a go at some of our ideas and send us a picture via social media.

Q: emacsclient, restore all windows in a frame in terminal The object: In terminal, on start, in one frame, restore emacs workspace. i.e. restore all "windows", to the state before C-x C-c.
Descriptions: The window restoration could be simply done in emacs GUI, by adding (desktop-save-mode 1)  to the init.el file.
However, when running emacs as a Daemon, emacsclient does not perform the same way. With the same setup, it still remember the major mode of the file, as well as other buffers before exiting, but the window layout will not be restored. Only 1 major window is displayed depend on the default settings.
I did some research, poked into some functions/variables using the elisp build-in documentation. I checked (desktop-save-buffer 1), framset-save, framset-restore  and none of them seems to work. Also I checked similar questions posted before, and I found someone's answer using the following script:
 (setq desktop-restore-forces-onscreen nil)
    (add-hook 'desktop-after-read-hook
     (lambda ()
       (frameset-restore
        desktop-saved-frameset
        :reuse-frames (eq desktop-restore-reuses-frames t)
        :cleanup-frames (not (eq desktop-restore-reuses-frames 'keep))
        :force-display desktop-restore-in-current-display
        :force-onscreen desktop-restore-forces-onscreen)))

However this script is buggy, it opens a "GUI" frame, and could not be closed properly(reopen automatically whenever closed, and if possible, I prefer to open the frame in terminal, so that a terminal 'texteditor' setting is possibe, with some other minor merits).
  Sorry for the tedious question, any help would be appreciated.

A: I don't really know the right way to do this, but I was able to restore a frameset created in a GUI frame into a terminal frame.  The new frame must be big enough or it will throw an error.  I did (setq foo (frameset-save (frame-list))) and (pp foo (get-buffer "*scratch*")) to dump a readable representation of the frameset to the *scratch* buffer.  Then I edited it by hand to get rid of (display . ":0.0").  That seemed to be enough to get it to not force a GUI frame.  Then I did (frameset-restore [frameset ...]) on the edited frameset.
If you look at frameset.el, there are filtering functions to edit a frameset programmatically.  Also, if you look at the comments, the display parameter is treated specially.  You should look at the details there.

West Ham plot bid for 27-goal PL flop, Euro giants also in pursuit – report
Date: 7th June 2017 at 1:47pm
Written by: Danny Wright
By Danny Wright
West Ham are preparing a bid for FC Koln striker Anthony Modeste, according to a report.
German news outlet Express claims that the 29-year-old is also attracting the attention of European giants Marseille.
Modeste scored 27 goals in all competitions for Bundesliga club Koln this season, but will be best known to English fans for proving to be a Premier League flop during a previous spell with Blackburn in 2012 which saw him fail to score during a loan spell at Ewood Park.
However the Frenchman has proved to be a completely different beast since he moved to the Bundesliga in 2013 when he signed for Hoffenheim.
He scored 23 goals in 62 games with Die Kraichgauer, before moving to Koln in 2015 where he has become a goal scoring sensation.
Modeste netted 25 league goals in 34 matches, and added a further two in the German Cup.
Only world-class attackers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski scored more times that Modeste in the 2016/17 Bundesliga.
Express also claims that Toulouse striker Martin Braithwaite is attracting the attention of the Hammers, who are in desperate need of fresh attacking options after injury-ridden seasons for Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho.
West Ham's Premier League rivals Southampton are also said to also be keeping tabs on Braithwaite.
Modeste may have proved to be a complete failure during his short spell at Blackburn, but he has since found a great goal scoring rhythm in a very high-quality Bundesliga. The former France Under-21 international could be the player that really takes the Hammers to the next level next season because they absolutely need a striker who can find consistency in front of goal. He has also remained relatively injury-free during his time in Germany, which is also a positive for West Ham, who have had a number of their stars suffer setbacks over the course of the last year. Modeste is a clinical finisher in a very average team and it's imperative that Slaven Bilic signs him.
In other West Ham news, the Irons have also entered the race to sign this £13million-rated forward, but face stiff competition from some of their Premier League rivals.

The members of the Indigenous Peoples Task Force on ASEAN (IPTF), Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) and other indigenous peoples organizations, express their extreme disappointment to the adopted version of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD).
In the statement on the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration, they call on ASEAN Member Countries 1. To fulfill their human rights obligations in compliance to international standards and norms they have committed to which includes the UNDRIP; 2. To be transparent and inclusive by providing effective mechanisms and platforms for indigenous peoples and civil society to engage effectively on all matters that affect them; 3. To designate a focal person for indigenous peoples within the AICHR towards the establishment of a working group that would look into the issues, concerns and welfare of indigenous peoples in the region.
