When I was 13 years old, children's imagination gave me a fantastic idea that I wanted to share with everyone; what if we can use the movement of the dog wagging his tail and turn this into power to enlighten his leash? Ironically, this idea took me into the direction where I'm now, taking my first steps in the design-world. The combination of estrangement and humour is a present appearance in my work, through the use of untouched sensitive matters translated in a satirical outcome. Right now, I'm following the master-degree Interior Architecture at Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, focussing on the combination of research and design. The scholarship is an incredible supporting aspect to explore the field of design.
One of the first steps in setting up my own design platform is the amazing opportunity I had to participate at During Dutch Design week in Eindhoven, where I exhibited my project 'The Elephant in the Room', a series of audio speakers, which is inspired by the metaphor of the same name – an awkward situation which is undeniable, however people pretend it does not exist. The project is an audio-visual alternation of intimacy and reticence, to show a dialogue between human behaviour and space. The three objects also known as elephants, are shaped as an embodiment of awkward-ness, which occupy your space as they gather at the corner of a room. The work compels you to think about the immaterial and your own personal occupation of space. Raw, tactile and fleshy, the objects struggle for their acknowledgment and presence.
The exhibition Ulterior showed the work of sixteen international designers from different art and design backgrounds focussing on a spatial trip to explore new positions on everyday modern life. If you would like to experience the presence of this Elephant in the Room, they will be exhibited again during Object 2019 in Rotterdam!
The next step in my exploration of the design field will be my thesis; questioning the invisible dense world of data-points that disperse signals and waves over the country through barely any surface to subsequently fade the boundary between your home and the outside world. We are currently living in an ecosystem of technology. But, do we have a choice to not live within the character of the modern invisible technological landscape? Can we choose to not live with any modern technology within our domestic interior?
Carlijn Olde Beverborg lives in Rotterdam. She studies interior design at the Piet Zwart Institute in a master's programme. She holds a bachelor's degree in interoir design and styling. After her studies she's planning to to go abroad for shorter periods of time to explore the design disciplines in other countries. In addition to that she would like to do a Ph.D.


Got lucky again with the weather – REALLY lucky this time! After a shocking winter and early spring, and the washout of the first two Rucksack Club Wednesday evening meets, my planned session at Hobby coincided with the first day of the summer (and a record breaking temperature for April).
… with around 30 Rucksackers and guests plus another ten from MUMC. Brilliant evening!

Monday's Watch With Mother offering which began in 1966 with the words "Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today ?" Then out of the rotating top would pop the "secret", which in fact was the featured character of that particular episode. Amongst the rural village's cast of characters were local gossip Mrs Honeyman, Dr. Mopp, Peter the Postman, Mrs Dingles the Postmistress, Mr Carraway the Fishmonger, Mickey Murphy the Baker and Thomas Tripp the Milkman. But without a doubt the star of the show was Windy Miller the flour maker, who was in charge of the windmill. The series was animated by Bob Bura and John Hardwick from stories by Gordon Murray and told by Play School's Brian Cant. Although only 13 episodes were made they proved so successful that there were two spin-off series, Trumpton and Chigley

Calinda (também escrito como kalinda ou kalenda) é uma arte marcial, bem como música folclórica e dança caribenha que surgiu durante os anos de 1720.

Calinda é a grafia francesa, o equivalente em espanhol é calenda.

História
Calinda é uma espécie de luta com vara vista comumente sendo praticada durante o carnaval em Trinidad e Tobago. Os agricultores franceses com seus escravos, mulatos e pessoas livres de cor das ilhas vizinhas de Granada, Guadalupe, Martinica e Dominica migraram para Trinidad durante a Cédula de População. O carnaval chegou com os franceses; os escravos não podiam participar e formaram uma celebração paralela chamada canboulay, o percussor do carnaval de Trinidad. Após a abolição da escravatura, um vocalista ou chantwell (chantuelle) entoava cânticos de chamada e resposta chamados lavways exaltando e animando os lutadores. Portanto, as músicas de carnaval são consideradas produtos dos lavways de calinda. Esse estilo de música se transformou gradualmente no calipso moderno.

Apesar de ser mais comumente praticada como dança por causa do resultado violento da luta, suas raízes ainda são uma arte marcial originária do Reino do Congo, e lutas com vara ainda ocorrem em Trinidad. Elas também foram formalizadas e se tornaram competições anuais de carnaval.

No resto do Caribe
A calinda também é praticada em outros lugares do Caribe, como em Martinica.

Kalinda é o nome dado a uma forma de luta com vara praticada no Haiti e que entrou nos Estados Unidos através da cidade portuária de Nova Orleans.

Formas similares desta arte marcial também existem em outros lugares do Caribe. Por exemplo, em Barbados existe o Bajan stick-licking também chamada de stick science.

Na Luisiana
A canção popular cajun "Allons danser Colinda" é sobre um garoto cajun pedindo uma dança risqué a uma moça chamada Colinda; provavelmente derivada da dança Calinda que foi relatado ter sido realizada em Nova Orleans por escravos caribenhos trazidos à Luisiana.

After beginning their summer season with three-straight losses in week one, the Bristol Blues baseball team continued down the same road with three losses last week.
However, the Blues crawled out of the cellar and broke the losing streak with three-straight wins to wrap up the week, including a late come-from-behind win against a top divisional opponent.
JUNE 7—The Blues began the week in Pittsfield, Mass. with a 4-3 loss to the Suns.
After two scoreless innings, the Suns posted three runs off a 6-3 putout and RBI double in the third. In the next inning, the Suns extended their lead to four with a run off an RBI single with two outs.
Logan Green (2-for-5) cut the deficit to three after driving in Brandon Grover (2-for-4) with a double in the fifth. Grover continued to chip away at the Pittsfield's lead with a solo home run in the seventh.
Ben Maycock brought the Blues to within a run with a double that scored Chris Davis on an error made by the left fielder in the eighth, but Bristol's rally ended soon after. The Blue finished with seven hits.
David Stiehl (0-1) started on the mound and was credited with the loss after going three innings with a pair of strikeouts, allowing five hits, three earned runs, and two walks. John Natoli and Anthony Morrone (0-1) saw some action on the mound as well.
JUNE 8—The Blues remained in Pittsfield the next day and stayed winless on the season with their fifth-straight loss, 13-3, to the Suns.
The Blues took a 3-0 lead after the top of the fourth inning, but the Suns knotted the score after the fifth and broke the game open with 10 runs off 10 hits and a pair of errors in the sixth, finishing with 18 hits. Bristol finished with eight hits and three errors.
Jake Frasca went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored, and a home run. Green went 2-for-5 with a double.
Michael Genaro started on the mound and went four and two thirds innings with five strikeouts, allowing seven hits and three earned runs. Takoda Sitar (0-2) was credited with the loss after relieving Genaro to go an inning with a pair of strikeouts, allowing five runs (1 earned) and four hits. Ian Halpin and Frasca saw some action on the mound as well.
JUNE 9—The Blues ended their six-game losing streak at home on Friday, earning their first win of the season after splitting a doubleheader with the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs. The Dirt Dawgs took game one by edging the Blues by a run, 3-2, late in the contest.
Maycock put Bristol on the board first with a run in the first inning that scored Green (3-for-4) on a 3-1 putout. The Dirt Dawgs knotted the score with a run in the next inning, but later secured the win with a pair runs in the fifth. Bristol mustered just six hits and committed two errors.
Malachi Edmond (0-1) started on the mound and was credited with the loss after going four and two thirds innings with eight strikeouts, allowing six hits, three earned runs, and a walk. Keith Grant closed with a pair of strikeouts.
The Blues bounced back to take game two, 5-2, by jumping out on the Dirt Dawgs early. Mitch Guilmette (2-for-3) put the Blues up, 1-0, with an RBI single in the first inning.
Guilmette eventually came around to score after Cooper Mrowka extended Bristol's lead to three with a two-run home run. Josh Zbierski and Kyle Pileski added to Bristol's lead with a pair of runs for insurance off a base hit and fielder's choice in the fourth and sixth innings.
The Dirt Dawgs attempted a rally in the seventh, but came up short with a pair of runs. Bristol mustered just five hits.
Kyle Hodgson (1-0) started on the mound and picked up the win after going six and a third innings with six strikeouts, allowing four hits and two earned runs. Tommy Curtin closed to get the save with a pair of strikeouts.
JUNE 10—The Blues kept rolling the next day at home with a 6-4 victory over the Seacoast Mavericks.
With the score tied at 1-1 heading into the bottom of the second inning, Zbierski put the Blues ahead by a run on a 6-3 putout that scored Maycock. Mark Tumosa advanced to third on an error by the right fielder, scoring Grover in the process, and Green capped off the inning with a double that brought in Tumosa.
The Mavericks cut the deficit to two, 4-2, with a run in the third, but Tumosa and Pileski secured the win with a sacrifice fly and base hit in the fourth. The Mavericks scattered runs in the seventh and eighth innings. Bristol finished with seven hits, as Jake Frasca hit his second home run of the season.
Ross Weiner (1-0) started on the mound and picked up the win after going five and two thirds innings with four strikeouts, allowing five hits, two walks, and an earned run. Jacob Wallace closed to get the save. Anthony Morrone (0-1) and Nick Rubino (0-1) saw some action on the mound as well.
JUNE 11—A one-run win rounded out the week for the Bristol on Sunday, as the Blues earned their third-straight victory by edging the Worcester Bravehearts, 6-5, on the road.
The Bravehearts held a 5-2 advantage heading into the eighth inning, but Max Goione (2-for-5) brought the Blues to within two with an RBI single. Jeff Shanfeldt cut the deficit to a run with an RBI single in the ninth, and Mitch Williams (2-for-5) scored the go-ahead run with a two-run blast over the fence moments later.
Tommy Curtin came in to close out the game in the bottom of the inning and got the save with a strike out, ground out to the mound, and fly out to the shortstop. The Blues finished with 11 hits, as Pileski went 3-for-5 with a run scored.
Tyler Kovalewich started on the mound and went five innings with six strikeouts, allowing five walks, four earned runs, and three hits. John Natoli (1-0) picked up the win after going three innings with a pair of strikeouts in relief of Kovalewich, allowing four hits and an earned run.
Bristol's road games at the North Shore Navigators and Suns were postponed to Thursday, June 22 and Wednesday, June 7.
The Blues will look to keep their winning streak going this week with games against the Brockton Rox (4-2), divisional Dirt Dawgs (2-5), divisional Bravehearts (5-3), Navigators (0-7), and Mavericks (4-5). Bristol is currently 3-6 overall and third out of four teams in the West Division. The Suns (8-1) lead the West.

The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys, a Crowd-Surfing Baby & More from Glastonbury 2013
England's annual summer music rite – the Glastonbury Music Festival — returned to Hyde Park recently with a superstar lineup that included Mumford & Sons, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, Public Enemy, Smashing Pumpkins, The Lumineers, Primal Scream, and show-stopping closers The Rolling Stones.
For the first time since 1969, The Rolling Stones rocked the 70,000-plus Glastonbury crowds with hits like "Tumbling Dice," "Sympathy for The Devil," "Gimme Shelter" and the new single "Doom And Gloom."
Here are the Top 5 Moments from Glastonbury 2013, according to fans and news outlets across the globe:
5. Public Enemy's Ferosh Set: Before revving up fans with hits like "Fight the Power" and "Don't Believe the Hype," Chuck D raged, "What is this b******* about people cheering for a hologram?" referring to Coachella's virtual Tupac Shakur in 2012. "We have real rappers!"
4. Royal Spotting: It's not a party without an appearance by Prince Harry, who was reportedly seen Saturday night. Regular fest-goer Kate Moss was also on site and so were Sienna Miller and Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.
3. Haim and the Arctic Monkeys: The Los Angeles sister act delivered a smashing performance of "Falling" and the Monkeys oozed style and hair gel while performing "R U Mine" and more hits.
2. Crowd-Surfing Baby: Spectators were gobsmacked when the fest's tiniest fan was seen floating atop a crowd in a baby buggy covered with a rain tarp. The Guardian reports that cries of "Oh, that's his dad on stage!" made the surreal sight slightly less shocking.
1. Mick and Keef: "Mick Jagger was just jumping up and down for two hours straight. It blew our expectations out of the water," Dougy Mandagi, frontman for Temper Trap who opened for the legendary rockers, told Australia's Faster Louder magazine.
We hope this Glastonbury fest report inspired you to check out some new or old music favorites.

Q: PHP connection to database after ssh2_connect I have a web site and I am trying to communicate with a PostgreSQL database which is sitting on my personal server (CentOS 7).
I have taken the following steps

*

*forwarded the ssh port on my server (after disabling password authentication)

*generated the ssh keys and placed them onto the web server

*setup the SSH2.so library on the webserver

*created the php script to establish the connection

These all work fine and my script is capable of making the connection to the ssh server
<?php

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);

$connection = ssh2_connect('xxx.xx.xx.xx', 22);

if (ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($connection, 'usname',
                      './ssh_key.pub',
                      './ssh_key', 'psword')) {

    echo "Public Key Authentication Successful\n";

} else {

    die('Public Key Authentication Failed');

}

?>

So all this works but I am struggling to connect to the database on the server I've made the connection to, is there a different way of connecting to the database that works with an ssh connection?

A: I am not sure if I understood your question, but you can try LinearLayout with weightSum and assign the layout_weight to child items. If you have exactly 2 child items you can provide weightSum as 2 and layout_weight as 1 in respective child item. Also make sure you make layout_width as 0dp for child items.

Adhesions between the tendons to the interosseous muscles, the lumbrical muscles and occasionally the deep transverse metacarpal ligament can be symptomatic and cause chronic discomfort in the distal part of the hand. Reports about the condition are rare and the causal factors in previous publications are in principle limited to crush injuries and contusion from a direct blow to the hand. We present a case with typical clinic findings secondary to an infection after a cat bite. To the best of our knowledge symptomatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesions caused by an infection has never been described previously.
Our case report describes a 25-year-old Caucasian woman with chronic pain and swelling between her second and third metacarpal heads. Symptoms occurred especially under stress and developed secondary to an infection after a cat bite. Surgical exploration revealed localized adhesions between her second lumbrical muscle, her first palmar interosseous muscle and her deep transverse metacarpal ligament. The symptoms were completely relieved by surgical release of the adhesions, partial resection of the deep transverse metacarpal ligament and immediate postoperative physiotherapy.
Physicians involved in hand surgery should be aware of the condition and look for it in patients complaining about distal intermetacarpal pain. The major causal factors for developing symptomatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesions are crush injuries or contusion to the distal part of the hand but it may also occur after an infection.
Watson et al. described posttraumatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesions and titled the condition "saddle deformity" [1, 2]. The topographical anatomy of the lumbrical muscles, interosseous muscles and the deep transverse metacarpal ligament (dTML) explains this name. The lumbrical muscles on the volar side and the interosseous muscles on the dorsal side of the dTML converge just distal to the ligament and are in immediate connection to each other as they insert into the extensor hood mechanism. This lumbrical-interosseous junction slides proximally towards the dTML during intrinsic muscle contraction. The two muscle bellies can be pictured as two legs on each side of the dTML (the saddle) . Adhesions can occur between two separate structures or all structures in the web-space at the level of the metacarpal head .
The causal factors in previous descriptions of symptomatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesion are in principle limited to contusion and crush injuries to the distal part of the hand [1–3].
We present a case with typical clinical findings secondary to an infection after a cat bite.
A 25-year-old Caucasian woman was bitten by a cat dorsal to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint to her right index finger. She was admitted to our clinic with signs of local infection and a possible septic arthritis. Her wound was debrided and irrigated and a partial rupture of her extensor indicis proprius tendon was sutured. The MCP II joint was not affected. With antibiotics and two additional irrigations her wound healed.Over time, chronic discomfort and recurrent episodes of pain and swelling developed in the area. When she was readmitted to our clinic 5 years later she was unable to work (pet-hospital) and her chief complaint was volar and dorsal pain in the distal intermetacarpal space between her second and third finger rays. Conservative treatment such as anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy or immobilization had been insufficient. The range of motion (ROM) in her MCP II-III joints was painful and limited to 0/40 (extension/flexion; Figure 1A). Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were normal. Interosseous-lumbrical adhesions involving the dTML were suspected as the symptoms increased in the intrinsic minus and the intrinsic plus finger positioning.
Flexion ability in the fingers, before (A) and after (B) surgical release of the interosseous-lumbrical adhesions.
Under general anaesthesia, the volar aspect of the painful area was exposed by a zigzag incision as described by Watson et al. . Adhesions were found between the second lumbrical muscle, the first palmar interosseous muscle, and the dTML. Passive intraoperative motion of her fingers demonstrated impaired excursion and inability of her muscles to move free in relation to the dTML. Release of the adhesions and resection of the distal third of the dTML resulted in normal passive excursion of her muscles without impinging the ligament. Immediate postoperative physiotherapy followed. Six weeks postoperative her hand was pain free and had full ROM (Figure 1B). The result was consistent over time with normal hand function at the final 12-month follow-up.
Adhesions between the intrinsic muscles distal to, or at the level of the dTML have been described in detail previously [1, 2]. In previous reports, the condition is almost exclusively secondary to contusion and crush injuries to the distal part of the hand [1–3]. Of the cases in the comprehensive Chicarilli report, 10% are referred to as miscellaneous . Other exceptions are local inflammation  and inflammation after a complex regional pain syndrome . The symptomatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesion in our case was caused by a local infection.
Two different kinds of adhesions have been described . The first category consists of adhesions between the lumbrical muscle and the interosseous muscles distal to and without involvement of the dTML. The adhesion influences the proximal excursion of the lumbrical-interosseous junction as it impinges the dTML during flexion in the MCP joint and extension in the interphalangeal joints; that is, the intrinsic plus finger positioning. In the second category the intrinsic muscles are stuck to the dTML or the MCP joint capsule, causing pain during flexion in the interphalangeal joints and extension in the MCP joint; that is, the intrinsic minus finger positioning (Bunnell's test). In our case the symptoms increased in the intrinsic minus and the intrinsic plus finger positioning indicating interosseous-lumbrical adhesions involving the dTML, which also was confirmed at surgery.
Topper reported a variant of the second type of adhesion in 1997 . In this single case report the adhesion was located on the radial side of the index finger involving the MCP joint capsule, the first lumbrical muscle and the first dorsal interosseous muscle. There is no dTML ("saddle") at this site. Thus, the term "saddle deformity" can be misleading, and since there is no actual deformity the term is probably best avoided in general.
The average time between injury and surgical release in the Chicarilli series was 19 months (range 3 to 120 months), which indicates difficulties in making the diagnosis . The sparse reports in the literature may indicate that it is an uncommon condition. However, as indicated by the high figures in the Chicarilli report and as mentioned in the original report, the condition is probably relatively common but not recognized [1, 2]. It is important to remember and look for the condition. The relative shortage of objective findings can prohibit making the diagnosis .
The area where the adhesions occur may be very limited making visualization with MRI difficult . With high quality MRI Tan et al. were able to present two cases with positive findings that correlated with the clinical diagnosis and intraoperative findings . Although the findings may be subtle, they recommended an MRI in all patients suspected of having the diagnosis . Also van der Veen et al. reported a case with MRI findings suggesting the diagnosis . The MRI in our case was not helpful, other than excluding differential diagnosis. We think that the diagnosis is primarily made by clinical examination. Surgical release of the adherences is a simple procedure with a high success rate. Chicarilli et al. reported significant improvement in 87% of the patients (58% excellent and 29% good results) . The hand function in our case was completely normalized after surgery.
Physicians involved in hand surgery should be aware of the condition and look for it in patients complaining about distal intermetacarpal pain. The major casual factors for developing symptomatic interosseous-lumbrical adhesions are crush injuries or contusion to the hand but it may also occur after an infection.

Hilltoppers hang on to defeat Greenies
Jeff Birchfield • Updated Apr 28, 2019 at 2:30 PM
Science Hill's margin of victory was much slimmer Saturday, but Ryan Edwards and his coaching staff weren't complaining.
The Hilltoppers held on for an 8-5 win over Asheville Christ School in an intra-state baseball game Saturday at TVA Credit Union Ballpark. It came less than 24 hours after Science Hill demolished Cocke County by 21 runs on the same field.
This time, against stouter competition, the Hilltoppers (20-10) scored seven runs in the second inning and held on to defeat the Greenies (17-4), who lost for just the second time in their last 16 games.
"Offensively, that team could really swing the bats 1 through 9 and didn't have an easy out in their lineup," Edwards said. "Landon (Slemp) got his change-up going today. He pitched great and gave us five solid innings."
It was a big week for Edwards, who passed John Broyles as Science Hill's all-time winningest coach earlier in the week and saw his team go 4-0 over a six-day stretch to reach the 20-win milestone.
Cade McCoy led the way for the Science Hill offense, going 3 for 4 with an RBI. Jackson Hill finished 2 for 3 with an RBI, while Matthew Levi and Slemp each drove in two runs.
"They threw some good arms at us, but I thought we had some pretty good approaches at the plate," McCoy said. "I struck out on my first at-bat, but I just had to make an adjustment after that and I saw the ball good all day. I definitely think hits are contagious for our ball team. It's been special this season when we've had several games where we will get multiple runs in one inning."
It was certainly that way Saturday as all nine Science Hill starters reached base, either on a hit or by drawing a walk. Seven of the nine scored runs, including Jack Torbett, who was productive in the nine-hole with an RBI single and two runs scored.
"The first time I was up there, the ump called it bad, so I just hit it," Torbett said about his RBI single. "The third time I was up, I hit it up the middle, but got out. I feel it's really helpful that we have so many guys on this team who can contribute."
That included his cousin, Cole, who didn't bat, but came up with a couple of big catches in left field.
Slemp gave up nine hits, but stayed with the game plan and gave up only two walks over five innings. He left the game with an 8-4 lead and improved to 6-0 on the season. Dustin Eatmon came in for two-thirds of an inning, before Drew Honeycutt shut down the Greenies to get the save.
"We knew Landon was a strike thrower," Edwards said. "He works fast and he has three pitches. If you can do that in high school baseball, you're going to be successful. He's done most of it out of the bullpen. He's a guy who can start a big game or he can do whatever.
"It's the same thing with Drew, who has started some big games for us. He did a great job closing the door."
Jack Galbraith was 3 for 3 with a RBI, while Jack Sutton and Parker Johnson each had two hits to lead the visitors from Asheville.
Science Hill will return to action Monday, renewing an old rivalry with Elizabethton.

Tag: drinking in public
Rule Number One: NEVER throw a cigarette butt at a cop (inadvertent or otherwise)
I offer up these savvy tips for successful street living, virtually free of charge.
Whenever I'm drinking late at night at this secluded spot on the campus — this second-floor balcony over-looked this trail below — I'll think back to this time I was hanging out here 7 or 8 years ago.
I happened to toss my cigarette butt over the railing to the trail below. Something I normally don't do. I loathe litter. But I was in a bad mood. It was after midnight and I had just drunk my last beer and smoked my last cigarette and I was flat broke and it was the middle of the winter and it was pouring rain. So now I was trapped on this balcony for the foreseeable future with no beer and no cigarettes and no nothing and my life was just a piece of shit that had amounted to nothing. So I was in a sour mood. So I just flung the cigarette butt over the railing in an act of defiance like "FUCK THIS WORLD!!"
Unbeknownst to me, there happened to be two cops walking on the trail below me. I don't know if my cigarette butt hit the cops on the head. But at the least it must have come very close. Because the two cops immediately made a bee-line to where I was sitting on the balcony. And one of the cops was raging mad as a hornet. As if my tossed cigarette butt was an affront to his very manhood. And I — homeless degenerate lurking on the campus — represented everything vile and evil and wrong with our current society. In other words, he took it very personally.
"DID YOU THROW THAT CIGARETTE BUTT??" said the cop.
"Yes I did," I admitted. The butt no doubt had the DNA of my saliva on it. So there was no way to avoid the rap.
"ARE YOU DRINKING??" said the cop.
"No. I already DRANK it all!!" I said, with real anger in my voice (I was still pissed about being out of beer).
"ARE YOU BEING A WISE-ASS??" said the cop.
"Not consciously," I said.
So the cop started writing me up a $450 littering ticket.
"You're not going to give me a littering ticket for one cigarette butt are you?" I said.
"I SURE AS HELL AM!!" said the cop, thrusting the little yellow citation at me.
So I ended up doing 45 hours of community service picking up litter and thousands of cigarette butts in the park to repay my debt to society. All because of that one lousy cigarette butt.
And it didn't end there. That cop developed a personal vendetta against me. Every time I turned around he would show up. Catch me in the act of drinking in public. And hit me with a $250 "open container" ticket. He must have hit me with nearly 10 tickets over the course of the year. And one night he even gave me the flashlight treatment and hand-cuffed me and arrested me and hauled me down to the Berkeley police station where I spent the night in the drunk tank (the weird thing is I wasn't even drunk at the time, I had just started on my first beer).
But then, over the course of the next year, over the course of all our interactions, I finally wore the cop down with my fabled charm. Or maybe he just forget what he was mad about me in the first place. And he actually started to feel friendly towards me. And whenever he'd see me he'd say "Hey Pete, how ya doin'?" with a beaming smile on his face. And we'd banter back and forth with a little friendly small-talk before we went our separate ways.

A fairly pleasant encounter with an Officer of the Law
It's 9:30 at night and I'm just hitting the campus, carrying a 6-pack of beer (discreetly hidden in a black bag). When this cop happens to be walking right towards me (uh oh). Heavy-set guy. Looks like he's maybe half-black, half-latino.
"You have a good night, Mr. Labriola," he said as he passed me.
"You too," I said.
"Hey, how did you know who I am?" I said.
"I've had at least a half-dozen interactions with you," he said. "You were always very polite."
"Oh," I said. "You've got a better memory than me."
"Ha ha," he said.
"Well have a good night, cool cat," I said.
"You too," he said.
And I headed off to find a discreet place to drink my beer.
You know how it is. Some of my late-night interactions tend to be a bit of a blur in my mind. But it made me wonder. I like to think I'm a pretty inconspicuous person. But maybe I'm not as inconspicuous as I like to think I am.
I'm not anti-cop or pro-cop, by the way. Being homeless, dealing with the cops is just like dealing with the rain. It's just one more Force of Nature that you have to deal with. And it's really nothing personal. Usually.
One of my Facebook friends suggested that maybe the cop was familiar with me from reading about my exploits on my Facebook page or the internet. But one of the great things about being known by a pseudonym; it's unlikely the cops would ever make the connection between "Ace Backwords" and my real name, the real person they deal with. And likewise, nothing would pop up if they happened to run "Ace Backwords" over the wire.
Cops, by the way, have a wide spectrum of opinions and attitudes about "the homeless." Some are actually sympathetic. While others are outright hostile. Mostly I think they're just weary and jaded about the whole thing. I mean for decades now, they're the ones called in to deal with the problem. And they, more than anyone, know they have no solution. Other than to run the homeless off of one block. Only to have them turn up on the next block.
There's a weird bond — a weird connection — between the cops and the homeless street people. They're one of the few indoors people that are privy to our world, after all. They work the street beat, just like the street people. And they're among the few people that are out there with us after midnight. Rousting us at our campsites and hang-out spots, they're more aware of how we actually live than most people. We're like two competing teams — two competing armies — playing on the same playing field.

A slightly embarassing late-night encounter with an officer of the law
Had a slightly embarrassing scene last night. It was well after midnight and I was quietly drinking my beer at a dark secluded spot on the Berkeley campus. When I suddenly got the dreaded cop flashlight in my face. It was some UC cop riding one of those electric golf cart things they use on the campus.
"Is it after curfew?" I said innocently.
"Yes it is," said the cop.
"Well I'm out of here," I said, earnestly. Good law-abiding citizen that I am, always eager and willing to comply with the laws of the land, and to cooperate with the officers of the law in any way I can.
I quickly packed up my stuff, grabbed my 6-pack of beer (hidden in a black bag) and my half-drunk coffee cup full of beer, and made my exit stage left.
"You have a good night, officer," I said cheerfully.
"You too," he said cheerfully.
And then I did what I usually do. I walked off the campus and walked several blocks up the street (far enough out of the cop's range). And then snuck back on the campus so I could find another dark secluded spot on the campus to continue my drinking.
Except — by luck or design — the cop in the electric cart just happened to have followed me up the campus. And now was driving right towards me. As I was walking right towards him. Carrying my 6 pack of beer and my half-drunk cup of beer.
"I thought you said you were leaving the campus," said the cop (not so cheerfully this time).
"I thought I was," I said sheepishly.
I turned on my heels and headed towards the border-line that separated the campus from the city of Berkeley as quickly as I could before I got a fucking ticket for drinking my fucking beer on the fucking campus after fucking curfew.
And this time I headed even farther up the road until I got to a part of the campus that couldn't be accessed by those fucking electric carts. And drank the rest of my beer in peace. The end.

Beer and Pot
I've been drinking in public just about every night for the last 15 years. I don't have an apartment and I'm too claustrophobic to drink in bars so thats what I do. Drink under the stars as the gods of alcohol intended. I like to pound a few at the end of the day to relax and unwind and/or get some kind of demented buzz going. Usually I like to drink about 96 ounces of malt liquor every night over a five hour period. Thats four 24 ounce cans of Olde English malt liquor, 7.5% alcohol content so its about twice as strong as regular beer. "More bang for the buck," as they say. And I often like to smoke a couple of joints in between beers to add a touch of surreality to the proceedings.
I don't know if this makes me an alcoholic. My line is: "I'm a drunk not an alcoholic." Because that sounds less clinical and definitive. I consider myself pretty much of a functional drunk. Or, at the least, a semi-fuctional drunk. I'm usually a quiet, happy drunk. And I like people more when I'm drunk so that really helps. But lately I've been beginning to wonder.
I got a little retarded last night. I was sitting on a dark, secluded bench on the Berkeley campus pursuing that chemically-induced state of happiness. Hoping to reach that coveted "I-don't-give-a-flying-fuck" state as I call it. Now to keep from getting drinking-in-public tickets I'm pretty discreet. I pour some of the beer into a coffee cup and then hide the rest of the can inside my backpack. This ploy usually works, but not last night. For some reason I put the can of beer into my pack up-side down. Something I realized shortly after when I reached into my pack and everything inside was soaked with beer, as well as my pack reeking of beer. A tragic waste of malt liquor.
So I take that as a sign to get the hell out of there. I walk up to the end of the campus to this lighted spot where I can survey the damage, dry off my shit, and pound my last beer of the night. So I take all my soggy stuff out of my pack and reach for the last can of beer, only to realize I had left it back at the bench along with my bag of cat food. So I quickly pack up my stuff and rush back to the bench to get it before somebody grabs it. Fortunately its still there. So I go from being a complete idiot to a guy who's still on top of things and has his act together. So I pour the beer into the cup, reach into my pack to take out my Sony Walkman so I can listen to some tunes, only to realize I had left my radio at the other spot. So now I've got to quickly pack up my stuff AGAIN and rush back up to that spot to get my radio before somebody grabs it. But when I get there the radio is already gone. Fuck! I'm starting to feel like a ping pong ball rushing back and forth from one mess up to another.
I'm sure there's a moral to this story, but I'm not sure I want to know what it is.

UK minister attempts to clarify data protection plans after watchdog's concerns UK minister attempts to clarify data protection plans after watchdog's concerns
UK minister attempts to clarify data protection plans after watchdog's concerns
Out-Law News | 18 Jan 2018 | 10:20 am | 2 min. read
Concerns that proposed new UK data protection laws threaten the independence of the country's data protection watchdog are "misplaced", a government minister has said.
In a debate in the House of Lords, Lord Ashton of Hyde defended provisions of the draft Data Protection Bill which would give the government the power to issue a new 'framework' for the processing of personal data by government departments and other public bodies and require the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to consider that framework when performing its regulatory duties.
The ICO raised concerns about the provisions last month. It said that the provision "runs a real risk of creating the impression that the commissioner will not enjoy the full independence of action and freedom from external influence when deciding how to exercise her full range of functions" as is required under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The GDPR will apply from 25 May 2018. The legislation will have direct effect in each EU country. In the UK, a new Data Protection Bill has been proposed to supplement the GDPR.
Lord Ashton, parliamentary under-secretary of state at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, said any new government framework on data processing developed under the new powers in the Bill should be viewed as equivalent to sector-specific data protection guidance that applies in other areas of the UK economy.
"Inherent in the execution of the government's functions is a requirement to process significant volumes of personal data, whether in issuing a passport or providing information on vulnerable persons to the social services departments of local authorities," Lord Ashton said. "The government recognise the strong public interest in understanding better how they process that data. The framework is therefore intended to set out the principles and processes that the government must have regard to when processing personal data. Government departments will be required to have regard to the framework when processing personal data."
"This is not a novel concept. Across the country, organisations and businesses produce guidance on data processing that addresses the specific circumstances relevant to them or the sector in which they operate. This sector, or organisation-specific guidance, coexists with the overarching guidance provided by the information commissioner. This framework adopts a similar approach; it is the government producing guidance on their own processing of data," he said.
Lord Ashton said the government would work with the information commissioner to ensure that any new framework on data processing that the government might produce "complements the commissioner's high-level national guidance ".
The minister said that the potential government guidance is referred to as a 'framework' in the draft Bill so as to differentiate the document from 'codes of practice' which the ICO has the power to develop. "It is purely a question of naming conventions – nothing significant at all," he told peers.
"The government's view is that the framework will serve to further improve the transparency and clarity of existing government data processing," Lord Ashton said. "The government can and should lead by example on data protection."
"The…framework will set out principles for the specific context of data processing by government. It will…complement rather than supplant the commissioner's statutory codes of practice and guidance, which will, by necessity, be high level and general as they will apply to any number of sectors and organisations," he said.

Jaimini Jethwa // The Full Picture
She explains: "What I learnt from being part of 'Full Picture' is that there is a strong momentum for change, and people do want to become part of that, organisations and individuals. The power to commission stories is another challenge because then businesses are involved and it comes down to what they perceives sells. I believe that we can tell our stories and they an have broad appeal, however having the opportunity to demonstrate that is rare."
As a result, her piece in collaboration with Dundee Rep Theatre and filmmaker Allison DecLercq-Matthas (which you can watch at the top of this page) brought the poem Jaimini wrote for her play The Last Queen of Scotland to the stage. Not a 'marginalised' being made to discuss 'marginalised issues', but instead just a voice allowed to speak. The second part of Jaimini Jethwa's work was about providing a platform to that variety of voices, in a compilation of conversations from previous projects, weaving a tapestry of humanity that is both not contrained to one key issue and given a visible space to express themselves.
On The Full Picture project, Jaimini explains: "The process of doing this project with Creative Dundee has allowed me to have more strength in my writing and confidence in my approach to future projects… Full Picture has given me the incredible opportunity to be involved in a process of innovation, I have never been asked to represent this before, and it gave me a sense of purpose in knowing I had something valuable to contribute towards the future."

Our Year in Review 2020


I get so many clients asking me about where they can have their photos taken. The choice is yours and I am happy to photograph you and your family anywhere (providing the time of day is suitable for lighting conditions) but these are my recommendations of my most photographed spots along with stacks of photos so you can see the variety we can get at each location.
Via Tibooburra Road. Approx 10 minutes drive.
Stephens Creek on Tibooburra Road (not to be confused with Stephens Creek Reservoir on Sydney Road) is my primary location for family portraits.
Located in Broken Hill, turn off on Menindee Road between North & South Broken Hill.
Junction Lookout is a great spot for those looking for a true 'Broken Hill' style to their family images. Full of character, colour and textures, the large shed (winder house) and old water tanks create great backdrops giving an urban/industrial feel and the top of the lookout gives a great image as the sun is going down with the poppet head in the background. Most areas are easily accessible but there is some optional areas that involve climbing over uneven ground. There are steep drop offs from the top of the lookout where small children must be held or holding Mum or Dads hands, so if your child is a runner then this one is probably not for you.
Located in Broken Hill, on Wentworth Road/Perilya South mine entrance.
Zinc Lakes is a good spot for those wanting a lot of variety images and the best choice for those who have older family members who are not able to walk far. There is a bush type area next to the grass and just down the road (literally less than a minute drive but just a little far to walk) is the Perilya Mine entrance which is lines by trees and a hedge which offers plenty of shade and a great photo spot. I generally start a session here and then finish it off at the Zinc Lakes as there is less shaded area at the lakes.
On the edge of town in a quiet street (directly across from my childhood home where my Dad still lives).
This spot is just a large patch of grass surrounded by bushland (saltbush) and lined with wheat. There is very little shade here so it is best suited to shorter sessions at sundown. It is also unpredictable whether the lawn in a little longer or freshly mowed (both having their pros and cons - need to be extra mindful of snakes in the hot weather). A very popular spot for maternity and outdoor cake smash sessions.
Located in Broken Hill, Wolfram Street.
The old Convent is a privately owned building and residence. The building itself, entrance steps, stone walls & front doors provide great backdrops and the front garden has a hedge lined pathway and a large Moreton Bay Fig tree. The owners allow the gardens and grounds to be used by the public for photos if it does not conflict with other bookings as funerals and community functions/programs are conducted from the large hall on the property.
This has to be one of my favourite locations. There are so many different assortments of cactus growing all over the place and the biggest prickly pear I have ever seen. It is on a hill, which the kids think is a great adventure to climb up and explore, however it is one to explore with caution. Most areas are easily accessible (still a slight climb up the hill) but there are also some drop offs in areas where small children must be held or holding Mum or Dads hands, and of course there are many prickly cacti that should not be touched, so if your child is a runner then this one is probably not for you. Best suited to about an hour before sundown.
There are so many good photo spots around Broken Hill. The areas above give space and the ability to get a large number of images and still provide variety without having to go to multiple locations. If your session is a small amount of images there are heaps of spots about that can give a different look. Bougainvillea bushes in laneways, interesting walls and doors in Gawler Place, Mural walls, I've even taken maternity photos in the open clearing behind the cemetery. I'm open to trying out anywhere new if you are.

Russians in Rincon
By Orlando Montoya
Russian Festival
Saturday, October 25, 10am-4pm St. Mary Magdalene Church 1625 Fort Howard Road, Rincon
THE FIRST TIME I heard about the Russian Festival in Rincon, I gave a quizzical look.
Russians? In Rincon?
Then all my senses leapt back to when I studied everything Russian in high school and college. The food, the art, the music and... the infernal grammar.
Yes, that's what I wanted to be at one point in my life, an English teacher in Russia or a Russian teacher in America. Thankfully, no one spoke Russian at that first festival I attended in 2010. I would have withered.
But the men and women of St. Mary Magdalene Church had a kitchen full of sashliki (skewered meats from Georgia, the Russian one), piroshki (stuffed breads), borshch (beet soup), golubtsi (stuffed cabbage) and many other savory and sweet favorites.
The church's artists had tables full of their wares, including beautiful icons.
And the church's singers sung the hauntingly beautiful religious and folk melodies that carry the Russian sound down into your core. You might know some of these as classical pieces (by Rimsky-Korsokov) or pop crossovers ("Midnight in Moscow").
I was happy. But the questions remained. How did all of this come about in a corner of the world far removed from ice and snow? To get the answers for you this year, I turned to the church's choir director, iconographer and spokeswoman, Denise Norman.
Denise Norman painted this icon. She counts among her mentors the late Ksenia Pekrovskaya, who moved to Boston and taught iconography across the U.S. after fleeing the Soviet Union.
"St. Mary Magdalene doesn't minister only to Russians," Norman says. "It has never been an ethnic church."
She explained how the Orthodox Church in America started with Russians in Alaska and moved across the country, including to Savannah in 1989.
(The Greek Orthodox Church in Savannah, St. Paul's on Anderson Street, was formed in 1900. If you enjoyed their annual Greek Festival recently, you definitely should try this.)
"In some ways, we were a military church," Norman says. "We had many, many servicemen and their families."
The congregation moved from one rented Savannah location to another until, like a lot of people, they found land for a permanent home out in Rincon in 2005.
The gorgeous little church they built there is a knock-out Russian-style structure that evokes Moscow's Golden Ring, the string of ancient towns with onion domes and huge bells just outside the Russian capital.
Its Russianness comes by faith more than by birth. Its few Russians are outnumbered by parishioners like Norman, a convert who grew up in Boston's Italian community.
"I'm still very much Italian," she says. "I'm making an effort not to be waving my hands around during this interview."
Her Orthodoxy led her to Russian art, including her brilliant icons. They look simple. But making them is anything but easy.
"No one makes up an icon," Norman says. "There are models that we use."
Iconographers depict Biblical figures. They use only certain types of wood. Linen, plaster, egg yolk, vinegar and hand-ground pigments are just a few of the ingredients.
"But you can go to a class where there are 20 students and everyone is painting exactly the same icon from exactly the same drawing and at the end of that class you're going to have 20 different icons," she says.
She has icons in churches and private collections. Her first iconography teacher became her first Russian cooking instructor.
"Every time I would go to her home for an iconography lesson, which was at least once a week, she would create these amazing meals," Norman says.
And this returns me to the inner Russian I never shed. While I can do without adjectival declensions and heavy literature, I can't wait two years for kolachki (jam cookies), ponchiki (doughnuts) and povitica (nut rolls).
Yes, it's so good, it skips a year. The next one won't be until 2016.

Athletic trainers work in clinical settings such as secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports, hospitals, and other healthcare environments. However, with the rapid expansion of athletic training education programs (ATEP) over the years, another role for the athletic trainer has developed, the athletic trainer educator. Consequently, it is currently becoming increasingly apparent that athletic trainers must also be equipped with the knowledge and expertise to teach, mentor, and train the future generations of certified athletic trainers within the classroom. Recently, researchers (Hertel et al., 2001; Craig, 2006; Rich, 2009) have argued that athletic training instructors lack the necessary pedagogical knowledge to be more effective instructors. However, athletic training education is a unique environment that provides both a wealth of content knowledge and many opportunities for students and professionals to engage in inquiry, action, interaction, mentoring, and reflection. Does the athletic training environment provide informal opportunities for students and instructors to gain pedagogical expertise? To learn more about instructors' preparation for teaching, this dissertation explored athletic training instructors perceived preparedness for teaching in an ATEP. This study used a mixed methods research approach through a self-developed and pre-piloted electronic questionnaire. The approach consisted of collecting and analyzing scalable quantitative and qualitative data as well as written narrative qualitative responses from 364 participants currently teaching within an ATEP. In addition, quantitative data was collected from ATEP program directors regarding their perceptions of pedagogy on instructor preparation and its place within athletic training (AT) education. Through the study's findings, it became evident that instructors' perceived preparedness for teaching is explained by several theories of learning, such as the mentor/protégé model of learning, experiential learning theory, and social learning theory. Demonstrated by their actions, attitudes, and beliefs, participants placed high value on pedagogy, its importance on effective teaching, and its place within AT education. Furthermore, from within athletic training's unique clinical field and classroom settings, participants demonstrated how each environment provided them with their perceived foundations for teaching within an ATEP. Despite these findings, formal pedagogical preparation and its place within athletic training curricula needs further exploration.

Alias of Marty McFly
For a full biography, see the article on Marty McFly.
In 1972, Marty McFly needed to create a new alias when he was caught by Joey Baines and was brought to Biff Tannen and his gang while they were planning to steal from the house of Sarah Ellsworth. He claimed that he was Kevin, the son of his 1955 alter-ego, Calvin Klein, who he said had to leave Hill Valley over the scandal of being an unwed father.
Kevin Kline voiced Calvin Fischoeder for twenty-six episodes in the animated sitcom series Bob's Burgers (2011-ongoing). In the same issue that Marty calls himself Kevin Klein, an establishment called Bob's Burgers can be seen. This would suggest that the similarity between 'Kevin Klein' and 'Kevin Kline' is not coincidental on the part of the writers.

Q: python pandas flag if more than one unique row per value in column In the following DataFrame, I have three columns:
   Code      |   Category  |    Count
     X               A          89734
     X               A          239487
     Y               B          298787
     Z               B          87980
     W               C          098454

I need to add a column, that if a category has more than one unique code (like B in the example above), it gets a flag denoting it as a test.
So the output I am looking for is this:
   Code      |   Category  |    Count    | Test_Flag
     X               A          89734
     X               A          239487
     Y               B          298787         T
     Z               B          87980          T
     W               C          098454

A: You could also opt for transform with numpy.where for filling the values.
df['Test_flag'] = np.where(df.groupby('Category').Code.transform('nunique') > 1, 'T', '')

>>> df
  Category Code   Count Test_flag
0        A    X   89734
1        A    X  239487
2        B    Y  298787         T
3        B    Z   87980         T
4        C    W   98454

A: You can use filtration with nunique for finding index values and then create new columns with loc:
print (df.groupby('Category').Code.filter(lambda x: x.nunique() > 1))
2    Y
3    Z
Name: Code, dtype: object

idx = df.groupby('Category').Code.filter(lambda x: x.nunique() > 1).index
print (idx)
Int64Index([2, 3], dtype='int64')

df.loc[idx, 'Test_Flag'] = 'T'
#if necessary, replace NaN to empty string
#df.Test_Flag = df.Test_Flag.fillna('')

print (df)
  Code Category   Count Test_Flag
0    X        A   89734       NaN
1    X        A  239487       NaN
2    Y        B  298787         T
3    Z        B   87980         T
4    W        C   98454       NaN

Another solution with transform for boolean mask used in loc:
print (df.groupby('Category').Code.transform('nunique'))
0    1
1    1
2    2
3    2
4    1
Name: Code, dtype: int64

mask = df.groupby('Category').Code.transform('nunique') > 1
print (mask)
0    False
1    False
2     True
3     True
4    False
Name: Code, dtype: bool

df.loc[mask, 'Test_Flag'] = 'T'
#if necessary, replace NaN to empty string
#df.Test_Flag = df.Test_Flag.fillna('')

print (df)
  Code Category   Count Test_Flag
0    X        A   89734       NaN
1    X        A  239487       NaN
2    Y        B  298787         T
3    Z        B   87980         T
4    W        C   98454       NaN

Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa was the capital and the largest city of Roman Dacia, later named Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa after the former Dacian capital, located some 40 km away. Built on the ground of a camp of the Fifth Macedonian Legion, the city was settled by veterans of the Dacian wars. From the very beginning it received the title of colonia and the status of ius Italicum. With an area of , a population between 20,000 and 25,000, and strong fortifications, Ulpia Traiana was the political, administrative and religious centre of Roman Dacia in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.

The city was destroyed by the Goths. Today Ulpia Traiana remains in ruins, with a partly preserved forum, an amphitheatre, and remnants of several temples.

History

The exact period when the city was built is not known. Some say the first settlement was erected between 106-107, others say it was between 108-110. However, due to an inscription discovered at the beginning of the 14th century in the village of Grădişte, it is known that the new town was settled in the first years after the conquest of Dacia. The inscription reads: "On the command of the emperor Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus, son of the divine Nerva, was settled the Dacian Colony by Decimus Terentius Scaurianus, its governor."

In Rome, the settlement of the colony was marked by the minting of a coin, by order of the Senate, dedicated to emperor Trajan.

During the reign of Hadrian the city was renamed Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa. Between 222 and 235 the colony was called a metropolis. The name was found on a stone inscription that reads "To Gaius Arrius Quadratus, son of Gaius, acting praetor of the emperor in Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa." Gaius Arrius Antoninus bore the title legatus pro praetore, which was the official title of the governor of some imperial provinces of the Roman Empire.

Location
The settlement was built at a distance of 8 km from Tapae, a pass between Banat and Transylvania (today known as the Iron Gates of Transylvania). The choice was based on the military and economic advantages given by the natural barrier represented by the Retezat Mountains in the south and Poiana Ruscă Mountains in the north. The territory of the metropolis extended from Tibiscum to Micia and to the Jiu canyon, the city being protected by several castra: Tibiscum, Pons Augusti, Micia and castra of Bumbești.

The city was crossed by the imperial road from the Danube that linked the north of the province with Porolissum (Moigrad).

Archeological site
Today, the archeological site contains the following remains:
 Amphitheatre
 Gladiator school
 Goddess Nemesis Temple
 Liber Pater Temple
 Gods Aesculapius and Hygieia Temple
 Temple Basilica
 Temple of god Mithra
 Temple of palmyrans
 Great Temple
 God Silvanus Temple
