SAVANNAH, Georgia, January 23, 2018 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced that its super mid-size G280 recently added to its long list of achievements with three new city-pair speed records.
In December 2017, the G280 left Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for Cape Verde's Amílcar Cabral International Airport, off the northwest coast of Africa, landing 3 hours and 52 minutes later. The aircraft traveled at an average speed of Mach 0.84 for the 1,858-nautical mile/3,441-kilometer flight. Later that same day, the G280 flew from Cape Verde to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a flight that took 6 hours and 40 minutes. The aircraft traveled at an average speed of Mach 0.82 for the 3,011-nm/5,576-km trip.
Earlier in the month, the G280 flew from Lanseria International Airport in Johannesburg to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos in 5 hours and 31 minutes. The 2,596-nm/4,808-km journey was completed at an average speed of Mach 0.83.
The G280, which has accumulated more than 60 city-pair records since entering service in November 2012 and can operate at steep approach airports such as London City, can fly four passengers 3,600 nm/6,667 km at Mach 0.80. It is propelled by two Honeywell HTF7250G engines that help it climb to 43,000 feet/13,106 meters in approximately 20 minutes. The aircraft's cabin includes industry-leading cabin sound levels, a vacuum lavatory and 19 super-sized windows.
Pending approval by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association, the G280's latest records will be sent to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Switzerland for recognition as world marks.

Nordic Music Prize 2018: Nils Henrik Asheim, for MUOHTA
The winner of the Nordic Council Music Prize 2018 is Nils Henrik Asheim for his work MUOHTA.
Read the jury's motivation
Hør presentasjon og utdrag av verket i NRK P2 Spillerom
Vel fortjent, Asheim (Stavanger Aftenblad)
Ekstra viktig for oss i den litt stille delen av musikklivet (Stavanger Aftenblad + Aftenposten)
Stillfarende og prisbelønt (Vårt Land)
Fikk Nordisk Råds musikkpris da han ventet det minst (Minervanett)
The jury's statement: "The 2018 Nordic Council Music Prize goes to a piece of music that is at once acutely contemporary yet conscious of its history. Our very first instrument, the human voice, is central to the piece whose sound world cautiously integrates language. Listeners are invited into a different experience of time, into a series of atmospheres or states which sometimes engender a sense of risk and unease.
The piece is in 18 sections, each inspired by a word in the Sámi language related to snow, as described in Inger Marie Gaup Eira's PhD thesis "Muohttaga jávohis giella - The Silent Language of Snow". Some words describe snow directly, others its impact on everyday human life – for example, ulahat means "an over-snowed winter trail which is barely visible". Nils Henrik Asheim's Muohta, for choir and string orchestra, depicts slow changes that are barely visible or perceptible to human senses. When the piece was performed for the first time – along with Joseph Haydn's The Seasons in Oslo in 2017 – the composer noted that the context had inspired him to attempt a step away from concepts of progress based on controlling nature, and instead engage with an indigenous experience of living with nature.
Throughout his career as a composer, organist and curator, Asheim (born 1960) has shown a remarkable ability to open up art music to a range of other genres and potential new audiences.
Muohta for choir and string orchestra was composed as a response to Joseph Haydn's The Seasons from 1801, and immediately followed the classical Summer at its premiere in the autumn of 2017. Inherent in the work are uncomfortable undertones: while the nature of the seasons is changing slowly but worryingly in our times, the optimistic faith in science was peaking in the time of Haydn. Some of this is typical for the music of Nils Henrik Asheim: while reflecting a conscience about being situated in historical traditions and contexts, it also alludes to the past through contemporary soundscapes.
In Muohta, indigenous people are given a voice: the work takes its name from a Sami word for snow, and utilises 18 different words relating to snow. For a great part, it is a quiet piece, as if resembling a frozen landscape. But under the surface it is alive and vibrant, in slow, almost imperceptible changes, and at times in unexpected turns and contrasts – as when the choir is allowed to sing with full warmth towards the end. It demonstrates the composer's original ways of creating attentive dialogues and connections between instrumental and vocal elements, sounds, words, and different timbre effects.
Throughout his whole career, Asheim (born 1960) has combined working as a composer, organ player, organiser, and curator with a remarkable ability to open art music to a range of genres and potential new listeners. As a composer and musician he moves freely between written scores, folk music, and free improvisation, collaborating with performers within art music, pop/jazz, noise, and electronica."
First performance: The Norwegian Soloists' Choir and Ensemble Allegria, conductor Grete Pedersen. University aula, Oslo. 28 October 2017.

I'm quite close to the paranormal world due to being brought up around it, I have had some experiences when I have been to haunted locations and venues I know that I'm quite young to get involved with the paranormal. I started to become interested at the age 10 due to my dad being a medium.
One of my scariest experiences was when I was allowed to go to a haunted theatre with my dad and my older half brother, I can remember going up in one of the tower parts with my brother and I felt faint and dizzy, so he carried me back down the stairs.
Then an hour later I went back up there but with my dad and brother and the owner of the theatre, and I started to get very hot and my neck became very sore and I started to hyperventilate and I almost fainted.
Once I was down stairs I felt quite sick and my neck was red and looked like someone had tied a rope round it and tried to strangle me.
My dad then told me that if it was a spirit that had done this that he wouldn't be surprised as they like innocent children, I was only 11/12 at the time when this happened.
Another thing that happened at the theatre that there was chair blocking the entrance of the room and when we moved it and come back later it would of been blocking the entrance again.
I can also remember that I saw a black figure looking down at me from the top and ran away in a split second.
Before I left the theatre I was with my dads friend and we saw this purple-blackish ball zoom past us and disappeared.

The author, Fallen-Angel, has the following expectation about your feedback: I will read the comments and participate in the discussion.
DeviousAngel: yes I knew the history before I went as I did an article on the theatre, the stair way is quite wide but I don't think there is any lights due to being closed to the public so was quite creepy. We where allowed access to the stairs just for that night. I have started picking things up aswell not loads though. Thank you for your response and help.
Fallen-Angel: Thank you for responding. Claustrophobia is a form of anxiety, so it most definitely could cause an anxiety attack. I get really anxious in big crowds too, unless I have something to focus on, like when I am at a concert. If you "sensed" an entity there with you, along with the cramped feeling of walking up a stairway (I do not know the layout, so I might be way off, but just a guess) then it could have certainly caused an anxiety attack.
If you ever experience those symptoms again, take slow, deep breaths, close your eyes and stop moving for a minute if you can. Relax as best as you can and think of something calming. I usually envision myself sitting in an all white room with no doors or windows, just a skylight overhead, and above there is nothing but blue sky and sunlight. That is sort of my "safe place" and really, really calms me down. I hope this helps!
yes I think there was a hanging in the tower and he told me about that iam like a toy to them as iam innocent and they like to play games that involve me. I'm still learning the history of the place, I have have a few more experiences in other locations as well.
Fallen-Angel, being nervous in front of a big crowd of people is basic human nature. If you've always been one to be shy around strangers watching and looking at you, then that could be the reason.
Interesting story, you said that your dad had said there had been a hanging at the theater itself?
thanks for sharing that, I haven't had any anxiety attacks before that iam aware of, I do suffer from claustrophobia aswell. Can this cause anxiety attacks:S iam just wondering as I do hyperventilate if I have a large crowd of strangers around me.
Not to take away from your experience at all, but the symptoms you described sound exactly like an anxiety attack. Not impossible in a child... I used to have them, and on occasion still do. You never forget what that feels like.
So, there very well may have been a spirit there, and your sensing it sent you into an anxiety attack. I do not think the spirit actually attacked you personally.
Theatres are notorious for being haunted. The creative engergy contained within somehow stirs up unusual phenomena. That's just how theatres work, I guess. I know you were younger at the time, I don't know how long ago this was, so I don't expect you to remember every detail. However, this story seems quite glossed over. Like it needs some more vital information. Could you tell us more about these events? Especially the black figure? Do you know the history of the theatre? Anymore information that you could give would be most helpful.

You would be surprised how many people I have interviewed for a job that think their PHP chops are great, but their MySQL, not so much. Many great WordPress developers I know have said the same thing. Not cool. Bad SQL can bring down your site! Forget crazy scaling challenges, basic WP Query usage can bring your site down if you aren't careful. WordPress is a framework that provides you with a lot out of the box, but you are still going to end up writing a bunch of your own PHP to make it work the way you want. The same should be true, but often isn't, for SQL queries.
So what happens if you mix WordPress with Eminem lyrics featuring Dre? No, not that Dre, this Dre. This has to be the best WordPress rap ever. By possibly by the best Dre there is.
Happy New Year! Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! Feliz año nuevo a todos! Folle lok en seine! Bonne année à vous tous! Feliz Ano Novo! честита нова година!
Wysija Newsletters is hiring its first employee to help out with their support forums and some coding. Wysija is a newsletter plugin which has been downloaded over a hundred thousand times on the WordPress repository. It's run by an awesome team of four guys from across Europe, all of whom we had the pleasure of hanging out with at WordCamp Lisbon.
If you're a WordPress expert and would like to be the first employee of a growing business with a fun and smart team, you should take a look. From my perspective, I just love to see fledgling WordPress businesses start to grow.
You may have noticed that WordPress 3.5 beta has been released and with it came a brand spanking new default theme named Twenty Twelve. Personally I am a big fan of Twenty Twelve, I could never get used to Twenty Ten, and love how that theme is set up. If you have not yet found the time to set up a beta installation on your live site local machine and played with Twenty Twelve in depth, than definitely check out Konstatin's post first. He explains at great length what Twenty Twelve can teach you as Theme Developer.
WP Realm is a soon-to-be-launched blog concerning all things WordPress. This is a non-commercial community blog, focusing on the WordPress community worldwide, and redressing a current imbalance in WordPress blogs that are too often US-centric. That means reporting on WordPress news and events across the world, from France to Serbia to China to India to South Africa to the USA and everywhere in between!
Our focus will be on WordPress businesses, blogs, events, people and services. As a community project, we'd love for you to get involved, whether it's helping with the design and development, to reporting the news, to writing an editorial, or just giving us your feedback.
WP Realm will be published in English, but we invite contributions from anyone, no matter what your first language is. Articles don't need to be in perfect English as everything will be edited before being published. Follow the project or get in touch to get involved.

White Noise Audio bleep!Synth review
By Computer Music 2010-07-22T09:13:00.202Z
A slick synth that has plenty to keep you interested.
Great interface. User-defined Play mode. Good sound.
No random arpeggiation. No pattern sequencing.
The first thing that strikes you about this iPhone synth is the GUI design. A small button at the top left switches between the configuration pages - pressing it momentarily flips to the next page, dragging it scrolls. There are pages for sound generation, adding motion control, global parameters, live playback and sequencer.
Parameter editing is cleverly arranged to make the most of two-handed input. A virtual scroll wheel on the right fits neatly under your right thumb, while a trigger pad on the left can be used to instantly play the sound. Holding this trigger doesn't sustain the sound for some reason, and there's no way of editing a sound while playing an arpeggio or a sequence.
The three-voice synth engine is great, especially for low-frequency saw-based tones. Its ability to work polyphonically makes it much better suited to gated strings and evolving pads than its competitors, and it includes some excellent routing possibilities for frequency, ring and phase modulation. You can switch between editing the parameters for the two oscillators, three two-stage envelopes, single filter or comprehensive modulation options.
Each set of parameters appear as a list of sliders below the buttons, and while they're easy to modify, the program doesn't seem to recognise more than two touches at a time. If you need more control, you can use the extensive modulation options to manipulate parameters using tilt control or the control envelope in the sequencer.
The 16-step sequencer includes trigger probability and swing, but the note selection would be far more effective if it used the same hold and drag motion of the mode selector. We'd also like a random mode for arpeggiator. There's no pattern sequencing either, which is a clear indicator that bleep!Synth is intended as a real-time performance partner to its compositional sibling bleep!Box.
The highlight of this app is the user-defined matrix of the Play mode. Notes are triggered from a grid of buttons, and when combined with one of the 21 different scales on offer, the output can sound unusual and fantastic.


For many, Mother's Day is synonymous with brunch, scented candles, and greeting cards. But for others, the day goes beyond celebratory meals and gifts. It's an occasion to acknowledge the fight for gender equality. Whether you've become a mother yourself or simply love to shower the woman who raised you with all the praise she deserves, this is the perfect opportunity to honor, cherish, and proudly celebrate the journey of motherhood. So if you're looking for feminist Mother's Day quotes for 2017, there is no shortage when it comes to finding inspirational and meaningful messages.
If there's one thing I've learned from my own mother, it's a line I heard a million times growing up: say what you mean, and mean what you say. Much like her infamous saying, my mom instilled my sister and me with the feminist mindset of staying true to yourself, abiding by your deeply held convictions, and never shying away from boldly voicing your truth. At the heart of feminism lies a yearning for equality and empowerment. After all, isn't that what all mothers want for their children anyways? So if you're looking for some feminist Mother's Day quotes to put you in the spirit of things, check these out.


The combination of gold and silver in a single product adds hours of originality. This model, despite the abundance of colors and materials looks very elegant.

Inserts of this metal adorn the top and bottom edge of each folding link. The pattern is seamlessly interwoven with small white rhinestones. Thanks to black this watch seem light and airy.

Working on a model-driven approach which would enable system developers to create a configurable and composable middleware system based on pattern-based building blocks. We envision that the developer would also be able to fine-tune this system for specific QoS requirements by configuring the system options at a human-perceivable level of abstraction. Also working on modeling the system workload so that the system designer would be able to evaluate the performance of each configuration of the composed system at design time.
Also experimented with different specialization tools like AspectC++ for specialization of Middleware framework like ACE.

Rebecca Minkoff @ Holts Bloor!
Today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rebecca Minkoff and shopping her new collection at Holt Renfrew Bloor St! She was so sweet (and gorgeous!) in person, and signed everyone's purchases. Holt's also had an artist monogram our purchases while we watched!
I am the proud new owner of a mini Perry satchel in a dreamy powder blue. Look out for this bad boy in upcoming posts!
Thank you Holt Renfrew for a great event!

Having dealt with an abusive relationship, Jennifer wanted to reach out to provide a support system and an escape route for teens in need. She started Teens Against Domestic Abuse with her friend, Joella, to prevent and create awareness of abuse in her community. With their focus on local self-defense seminars and pamphlet distribution, Jennifer and Joella hope to show other youth and teens that they have the power to escape, prevent and to speak out.

Designed by Gustave Delage in 1914, the small Nieuport 11 biplane was affectionately known as the "Bébé" (Baby). Originally designed for racing, this light plane was fast and extremely maneuverable. Its only major problem was in the design of its wing struts. In a steep dive, the struts allowed the wings to twist, sometimes with disastrous results. Used by the British and French to counter the Fokker E.III, the Nieuport 11 was disadvantaged by its lack of a synchronized machine gun. It remained in service on the Western Front until 1916 and in Italy until the summer of 1917.

When your little girl is chosen to be the flower girl for an upcoming wedding, it can send you over the moon with joy—and over the top with stress. In many cases, the couple will be able to provide you with some idea of the bridal party's overall style and may even specify a particular dress. In other cases, you and your daughter may be given the freedom to choose her outfit. If this is the case, don't panic! Pink Princess has a variety of modern and traditional flower girl dresses to suit any wedding.
For a wedding with a style that can be described with words like "classic," "vintage" or "romantic," your safest bet is to go with a traditional style of dress. Typically, weddings have been associated with light, feminine materials like lace, chiffon, and tulle. Similarly, soft colors like white, ivory, pink, and various pastels have been traditional choices for flower girls.
Pieces like our Ivory Vintage Satin Tulle Dress and White/Lilac Shantung Organza Dress with Detachable Flowered Sash are perfect examples of traditional flower girl dresses with elegant fabrics, soft colors and pretty floral accents.
Pair these with simple girls' ballet flats for a timeless and comfortable ensemble.
Weddings that can be described as "non-traditional," "unique," and "creative" might be a great opportunity to let your daughter shine in a more modern style of flower girl dress. Rather than taking the "miniature bride" approach, try something with bright colors and modern trends like ombre and simple silhouettes.
Our Yellow 3-Tier Chiffon Sequin Dress, for example, features a sequined neckline and a modern tiered shape.
For something even more striking, try our Purple Ombre Dress with Rosette Bodice—a sleeveless tea-length dress with a bright purple ombre effect.
At Pink Princess, we strive to provide top-quality girls' boutique clothing at unbeatable prices. Browse our great selection of traditional and modern flower girl dresses, girls' designer clothes and girls' dress shoes online right now—you'll get free shipping on every order over $30!


• EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is designed for sending/exporting vector graphics (such as logos) for print. Vector EPS files will print clear and crisp and can easily be resized without compromising print quality or losing detail.
• TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a recommended format for printing high quality imagery for both MAC and PC platforms. TIFF files are designed to print clear and crisp at high resolutions (usually 300dpi) and support a transparent background.
• A JPEG/JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a compressed image file that is ideal for creating and exchanging digital photographs. JPGs use lossy compression, meaning you will lose image quality if the file is enlarged or edited. Also, there is no support for transparency in a JPEG file.
• GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bit-mapped graphics file that is gradually being replaced by the PNG format. GIF has been popular for images with large areas of solid colors, such as logos and text as graphics. GIF does not compress your pictures, which mean that they do not loose image quality, resulting in large files. GIF can be used for animation and supports a transparent background. NOTE: GIFs are not suitable for professional printing (they are ideal for web use).
• PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a newer file format that features lossless compression of data, meaning an image can be compressed without losing image quality. PNG files also support transparency and are ideal for web use, but because of the lack of CMYK color support and inability for color separations, PNG is not a good fit for professional printing.

I don't know how you novel writers do it. First, I am always astounded by fiction writers–people who can weave a tale, build a plot and sustain it, create believable and likable characters, keep the suspense going, and then end with a conclusion that satisfies.
Seriously. I admire you more than you know.
So as the month of November approaches, and with it NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), I can hear weeping and gnashing of teeth from my Professional Writing students who are trying to decide if they can take on the beast that is NaNoWriMo.
If you don't know, NaNoWriMo is when novel writers everywhere commit to writing 50,000 words of a novel during the month of November. To translate, there are about 250 words on a standard double-spaced typed page. So 50K words = 200 pages, divided by 30 days = roughly 6 or 7 pages a day. That's a day. Anyone who is a writer will tell you how difficult it is to sustain that kind of momentum for very long. Not impossible, but tough. Especially when you have, you know, like, a life. Like classes to take and homework to do and food to eat and sleep to enjoy.
If nothing else, the commitment of NaNo helps writers see what is possible. Whether they get to that magic 50K number or not, they have discovered that setting a goal and working steadily toward it have their own rewards. Basically you just do it and see if, well, if you can do it. There are no prizes, no awards dinners. Doing the task is reward unto itself.
Which brings me to EdBoWriMo.
And since I know my abilities, I'm not shooting for 50K words; instead, I think I'm going for a more modest 22,500 words, which works out to 750 words (or about three pages) per day.
So what about you, my fellow writers? Do you have something you need to work on, but NaNoWriMo doesn't quite fit? Then create your own! Let's join with our fellow novel-writing friends and commit ourselves to a certain number of words per day (or per week if that's better). Create your own acronym. Create your calendar.
And on November 1, let's commit to seeing how far we can finally get on that project.
So tell me, what could you work on this November? What languishing project could you breathe new life into? What project could benefit from your sustained attention during the month of November? Tell me about it in the comments below.
So here's some exciting news!
This past summer at the Write-to-Publish Conference, I pitched a book to a publishing company called Bold Vision Books. For several years I've wanted to write a book about editing–a book that combines much of my work for the past three decades along with the research I've been doing about the great editors (some of which I've been sharing here on my blog) and turning it into a book I can use in my future editing classes at Taylor University.
And I hope it's a book many writers and aspiring editors will want to read.
Students in my editing class warming my heart as they studiously do their worksheets on how to work with Chicago Manual of Style.
And the publisher accepted it! So now, in addition to writing my thesis (about editing), I'm also writing a book (about editing).
Needless to say, this is exciting and exhausting. There are several great books about editing already out there (as I discussed in this post), so I feel both humbled and honored as I take on this task.
The publisher has asked that my book help writers with self-editing, so my audience is writers who are trying to make their manuscripts the best they can be before sending them off to agents or acquisitions editors or before self-publishing on Kindle or CreateSpace.
This is a publishing quiz that pulls from numbers in the publishing world (number of books published in a year, number of returns, general number of each title sold, etc.). Multiple choice.
Takes you through all of the steps in the publishing process—from manuscript idea to bound book. Helps the reader understand how many people touch the book, how many decisions must be made along the way.
What editing is all about, what makes a good editor, why everyone needs to self-edit and have others edit their work. I explore the stories of two great editors—Tay Hohoff and Maxwell Perkins—and their work with Harper Lee and F. Scott Fitzgerald respectively.
The supreme importance of a manuscript's first pages. Explanation of how agents and acquisitions editors only have a few moments at a conference or busy schedules at their offices and if the writer doesn't grab them in the first few pages, they won't read any further. How can you edit those first pages to make them intriguing?
This chapter focuses on what content (or developmental) editing is and how it takes a different mind-set from both writing and copyediting. It explores ways to content edit yourself and others, and the questions to ask as you're editing (separating fiction and nonfiction).
This chapter has several functions just as a copy editor also has several jobs in addition to just reading the manuscript. I will help those who are putting together their manuscripts to understand how to build the front matter and back matter for their books (such as what they should go ahead and put on their copyright page and TOC), how to use templates and create style tags (which will make the editor at the publishing house want to kiss them)—in short, how to deliver a clean and consistent manuscript.
From there, we'll cover some basic grammar and punctuation rules and guidelines—keying in on the errors I tend to see all the time (hello! No double spacing between sentences!) and how to fix them. I will advise on some of the Microsoft Word tools that will be most useful (not everything in all detail, but the key tools).
We'll also learn about the bible—The Chicago Manual of Style—along with style guides and style sheets. They will have exercises to do to try to find various items in CMS and with a style sheet from a fake publisher. I will include some exercises for them to practice grammar and punctuation, along with some very funny dangling modifiers to fix ("We saw a dead deer driving down the road.").
We talk about proofreading in a couple of ways. First, we can proofread a manuscript on hard copy—and this is where we'll learn about proofreader marks. I will show the readers what these are and provide some practice pages to work with proofreader marks.
Second, we'll talk about proofreading on pdfs of typeset pages and how to use the markup tools in Adobe. In this phase, there's more than just proofreading the text; proofreaders have to check the layout of pages, page numbers for the TOC, placement of elements on pages, etc. I will provide a checklist of items to look for in this proofreading phase along with a practice page.
Even though this is not necessarily a Christian publishing book, that has been the major part of my experience so I will include advice on working with Bible text. This will also include practice exercises. As much as we Christians love and use the Bible, it's amazing how authors so often are not careful when they quote from it or refer to its stories in their writing. In this chapter, I give some personal experiences with thirty years of Bible publishing and several tips on working with the Bible text.
Chapter 8—If You Want to Try to Self-Publish . . .
We'll talk about the world of vanity publishing—pros, cons, and things to look out for. For example, if they decide to build a book for Kindle or use CreateSpace, what do they need to know, and how they should format and price their books. However, I would always advice all of those editorial steps above.
Editing children's books is a very different skill. In this chapter, I discuss the kind of mind-set needed to edit children's books, with a discussion of Ursula Nordstrom, editor of such books as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, Where the Wild Things Are, and Harriet the Spy. I also will interview some children's editors for further insights into this special world.
Chapter 10—If You Want to Try an Editing Career . . .
Here I talk about how to prepare for an editing career, how to build a portfolio of work and where to find that work, how to practice, what to charge if you freelance.
Thoughts? Am I missing anything? You writers out there, what would you want to read in a book about self-editing? Let me know in the comments below! And thanks in advance for your help.

Khanna, Ocasio-Cortez Among Progressive Democrats to Condemn US-Backed Regime Change in Venezuela
Posted on September 15, 2020 by HelenAtAmarIt
Over a dozen progressive House Democrats on Thursday condemned the Trump administration's "unacceptable" push for regime change in Venezuela.
The comments came in a letter addressed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and signed by Reps. Ro Khanna (Calif.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and 13 other House Democrats.
"President Donald Trump and other senior United States (U.S.) officials have generated alarm in Venezuela and throughout the region with actions and statements—such as the recent threat that 'all options are on the table'—which indicate a pursuit of American military-led regime change," reads the letter.
"Here's the mistake we make: We're quiet when these interventions are happening. Instead, we need to speak up right in the beginning when we see signs of interventionism that are going to make situations worse."
—Rep. Ro KhannaThe progressives also slammed the Trump White House for "crippling" millions of ordinary Venezuelans with unilateral sanctions.
"[T]he president's recent economic sanctions threaten to exacerbate the country's grave economic crisis, causing immense suffering for the most vulnerable in society who bear no responsibility for the situation in the country," the letter states.
Khanna, who spearheaded the letter, urged his Democratic colleagues to unite against U.S.-backed regime change and sanctions in an interview with HuffPost on Thursday.
"Here's the mistake we make: We're quiet when these interventions are happening," said Khanna, who has been an outspoken opponent of U.S. interference in Venezuela. "That was a mistake in Iraq, that was a mistake in Libya. Then afterwards we say, 'These interventions were a mistake and how do we rectify it?' Instead, we need to speak up right in the beginning when we see signs of interventionism that are going to make situations worse."
The progressives' letter comes as Vice President Mike Pence and national security adviser John Bolton continue to lob threats at Venezuela's elected President Nicolás Maduro.

In an interview with Telemundo Wednesday night, Pence reiterated the White House's support for Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, but said there is "no timeline" on the U.S. push for regime change.
Trump's Venezuela envoy Elliott Abrams—whose role in U.S.-backed massacres and genocide and Latin America during the 1980s has come under scrutiny since his appointment in January—said during a Senate subcommittee hearing on Thursday that the administration is planning to "expand the net" of sanctions against Venezuelan institutions.
While condemning the Maduro government for violence against protestors and "disregard of the rule of law," House progressives said the Trump administration's meddling is "making life worse for ordinary Venezuelans" and urged the White House to support peaceful negotiations.
"Unilateral measures and violent threats only threaten to stoke chaos and instability," the letter concludes. "Instead, the U.S. must abide by its obligation under the Organization of American States (OAS) Charter to abstain from using armed force or 'any other form of interference or attempted threat" against another state. We urge you to support efforts by Uruguay, Mexico, and the Vatican to promote dialogue and help Venezuelans resolve their own problems."

I have been busy photographing families this Summer on the beach and I love every second of it. There is no better way to spend the evening than on the beach watching the sunset and capturing the love and laughter of families.
I recently photographed these two cuties for a beach sunset session. These siblings were all smiles and did nothing but laugh, play and hug each other. It was really so sweet to watch and their laughter was contagious.
My season of Spring family photography sessions is in full swing and I am loving every second of it. It is so refreshing to be outdoors again and most of the families I have photographs so far have been so fun loving and energetic.
The beautiful sisters in this session gifted their mother a surprise extended family session . I was thrilled and honored that they chose me to document this special moment for them. I photographing larger families because there is always a fun energy and unique dynamic to these sessions and, of course, I absolutely adore capturing grandparents interacting with their grandchildren.
Like many Long Island family photographers, I schedule my sessions around the light. The best time of day to schedule a session forfamily photography or children's photography is an hour before sunset, which in the photography world is known as Golden Hour. In the Summer, this means that a photography session would start at around 7:00 or even 7:30, depending upon the month during which we shoot. Shooting during golden hour is especially important for beach photo sessions for families and children .
Oh, how I wish more women would schedule maternity photo sessions for themselves during their pregnancy. There is nothing that can surpass the beauty of an expecting mother; as cliche as it might sound, the natural glow of a pregnant women is simply unsurpassed. Sadly, so many women do not see themselves as beautiful during this momentous time in life. Many women tell me that they just don't feel their best during their pregnancy and, consequently, shy away from the camera during those nine months. I completely understand and I too felt this way about myself during both of my pregnancies. Although I did not shy away from the camera and took my monthly photos of my bump, I never scheduled a photo session with a photographer and I still regret it to this day.

WASH Coordination Project (WCP)
Environment, WASH, and Health Project, Featured
The WASH Coordination Project (WCP) was a two-year, USAID-funded initiative, targeting urban challenges in the Nigerian States of Kaduna and Bauchi, where water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) service gaps were acute and where government officials had demonstrated a firm commitment to sector improvements. Funded under the Making Cities Work IDIQ, the project: (1) improved WASH programming through an integrated, evidence-based approach; (2) provided support to new reform-minded state governments; and (3) sustained the momentum established under the USAID/Nigeria Sustainable Water and Sanitation in Africa (SUWASA) activity. DIG successfully generated baseline sector data to map the landscape of on-site services in urban areas of Bauchi and Kaduna states, developed a framework for improving urban sanitation in Bauchi and Kaduna, and designed criteria for state inclusion in future USAID-funded WASH programs. In addition, DIG provided targeted technical assistance and capacity building to the Kaduna and Bauchi state water utilities to enhance their operational efficiency and services. As a testament to the effectiveness of DIG's customized, results-oriented capacity building, between February and May 2018 alone, the Bauchi utility's bill distribution increased from an average of 345 bills to 17,510 bills per month, significantly increasing revenue collected. In just three months in early 2018, the Kaduna utility's revenues increased by 46% and the collection of unpaid bills rose by 160%. Lastly, DIG launched an online urban WASH Community of Practice, the first of its kind in Nigeria.

How do I resolved this issue?
Any inputs are greatly appreciate.

A: Trusty Charms only work on Trusty systems (Ubuntu 14.04). Precise Charms only work on Precise systems (Ubuntu 12.04). You're using LXC as provider on a 14.04 machine. Because LXC isn't complete virtualisation, LXC will not be able to create a precise machine on a Trusty host. This is the error you are getting. Juju tries to provision a new precise machine, but it fails, because it can only make Trusty machines on a Trusty host.
You can specify the series in the deploy command. The following command will deploy the trusty version of mysql.
juju deploy cs:trusty/mysql

If you don't specify which series (OS version), Juju uses the default-series. The default-series can be specified in environments.yaml for a new environment:
default-series: trusty

Or use the following command to change the default-series of an existing, already bootstrapped environment:
juju set-env "default-series=trusty"

Britains Say Australia is Better than New Zealand
Teamster / November 1, 2015
Australia, voted the better country by telegraph.co.uk
Two journalists: Natalie Paris and Hugh Morris, writing for the UK's Telegraph (the UK was the host country for the recent Rugby World Cup final between New Zealand and Australia) have voted Australia to be the better country between NZ and Australia, despite the outcome of the controversial match.
The Daily Telegraph, says Australia wins over New Zealand for
Attractions – the Hobbtion set and non-specific 'scenery' loses big time to Uluru, the Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef. Australia wins.
Culture – Indigenous cultures between the two countries appear to balance each other out. Sydney leads the way for internationally renewed music and arts events, followed by Melbourne's "hip and exciting music scene" and its multitude of museums and galleries. While NZ has a "home-grown" music scene but "tiny Tasmania" has art that makes a "greater splash than the "world famous (in NZ) Mona Museum!. Australia wins
Silver Screen – Australia gave the world Baz Luhrmann's Australia, Mad Max and Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Crocodile Dundee was the "best thing to ever come crawling out of the bush", soaps like Neighbours, Home and Away, Heartbreak High and Prisoner Cell Block H. New Zealand showcased its countryside in the (British)Tolkein fantasies, Black Sheep got a mention as did Flight of the Conchords who's creators had to move all the way to New York to find a comic foil. Australia wins.
Cuisine – The two countrys' wines almost cancel each other out but Australia wins "for variety". Sydney has restaurants that "showcase cuisine from all over the world". Auckland has a plethora of Korean restaurants and NZ;s chippies offer deep fried oysters and mussels. Australia outstrips NZ's "small-town options". Overall, Australia wins.
Transport – Australia has two of the world's longest and most impressive train journeys- the Chan and the Indian Pacific. NZ offers some remarkable ferry cruises around the "fjords" and has some mountain roads that offer "mean road trips" but epic train adventures takes it: Australia wins.
Weather – Australian heat and sun are considered too taxing for the British constitution. NZ wins
Landscape – a tie.
Sports/activites – NZ's national pastime is "jumping off stuff" and they were favourites to win the rugby. NZ wins
Nightlife – Melbourne has a "cutting edge live music scene and a good range of trendy and alternative bars and pubs". More glamourous Sydney is the place to "be seen" in chic harbourside bars and rooftop clubs, The Gold coast "busses" and Perth. NZ has good pubs and has 2enjoyable" cocktail bars in its capital, but skip "sleepy Auckland" and head to Queenstown if you want "crazy". Australia wins.
"Australia has beaten New Zealand quite soundly"
What do our readers think? They can comment here, or on the Telegraph.co.nz article: Australia v New Zealand: which country is best?
Here's a selection…

Not sure why NZ wins sport. What major sporting events does NZ host? Australia has had the Olympics twice, a Grand Slam tennis tournament each year, Formula 1, MotoGP, various swimming and cycling world Championships. Barring FIFA corruption they'd have held the World Cup in 2022. Australia also produces a hugely disproportionate number of Olympic medalists compared to the size of the population. Domestically, they have four professional codes of football, the Big Bash, V8s and so on. They host The Ashes every four years and got 91,000 through the gates on day one of the Boxing Day Test in 2013, which is a world record.
And what's NZ got? The All Blacks, who at the time of writing have won the RWC twice, as have the Wallabies, a pretty ordinary cricket team and not much else, unless 'sport' nowadays means jumping off a bridge with a rubber band ties to your ankles.

Australia all the way! New Zealand used to be my dream holiday destination… until I went there. You can sum up NZ in one word, "boring". Ideal for people who want to go to bed at 8pm every night. Conversely, Australia never had much appeal for me, until I went there. It's absolutely fantastic. From the food and wine, to the nightlife, the things to do, the scenery and just about everything else it beats NZ hands down. Melbourne in particular is one of the finest cities you could visit. Beaches, winelands, restaurants, the arts, sport – it's superb!

Interesting site. I'm a kiwi who has lived in Sydney for the past 5 years due to the superior employment options after graduating. Struggled to get even an interview in NZ but got a decent entry level role in Oz in a major corporate difficulty. I go back periodically and am shocked at the cost of living compared to salaries levels. Even in Sydney things are cheaper (except housing) than NZ. Overall Oz is a great lifestyle-wise and I'm saving a lot more than I ever could in NZ. Having gained Australian citizenship I'm a lot more objective than when I was a SCV holder and can see many things that are wrong with NZ that my friends back home cannot (or will not). However there are still downsides regarding the weather. It can get brutal here. Last week Sydney was 41 in the shade which I have never experienced in NZ. Melbs is apparently a lot more like NZ apparently. But overall I don't miss the winters in NZ.
Quick question for Pom expats in Oz: do you ever think of going back to the UK? Are the wages or career opportunities superior or the cost of living (compared to Sydney). Thinking of 're-immigrating' to the UK so would like some views. Visa is no issue due to UK born grandparent.
Alphonso de Barbo says:
NZ is a shit place to live in and I live here! The general architecture is absolutely appalling – the architects responsible should be jailed! The population has degenerated to the lowest common denominator – to the standard of White Trash! NZ's politicians are adolescent criminals and their Prime Minister is the worst of all. The weather is as dull as its population, architecture and scenery – although the South Island is spectacular, the North Island is an unending green paddock full of substandard housing, meth labs, gang pads and unemployed maori criminals… and when Australia send their NZ born criminals back to New Zealand, the country will become a lawbreakers paradise similar to the favellas of Rio de Janiero…

N.Z would be better off to be a state of Australia,would be a definite saving on our ridiculous over paid government,the main problem would likely be that this place would empty out very quickly leaving no one here to milk the cows.
RussellW says:
mcleodkiwitony
Yes, you're probably correct, NZ would be better off economically. Unfortunately the Kiwis rejected Australia's offer to join the federation more than 100 years ago, they probably won't get another chance since I doubt that there's much support now in either country.
Actually if NZ was an Australian state, most Kiwis would probably stay home to milk the cows, they could probably afford to buy even more cows.

I call it the Lie-Around-And-Chill class. In restorative yoga you use props (blankets, bolsters, blocks, etc) to fully support your body in the pose which is then held for 5-7 minutes. As you relax into the stillness your mind, body & nervous system have a chance to restore and reset. All ages and abilities are welcome. I may add a short Yoga Nidra (guided meditation) during the final pose.
Bring a mat, if you have one, and a water bottle if you require it. Please arrive a few minutes early to sign releases and pay. Door will be locked when class starts.

"In Retaliation" – A Terrorist's Credo »
January 1st, 2011, Promulgated by Dr. K
Well folks, 2010 has come and gone. We are now embarking on the 2011 journey. Before we move forward in hope, I think it is a good time to reflect on some of the most important news stories which took place in the Diocese of Rochester this past year. What follows is what I believe are the top ten DoR news stories for 2010. You are all more than welcome to contribute your own top stories in the comments section.
Without further ado…
#10 – "Rochester institution closes their high school"
Nazareth High School, an all-girls Catholic high school which has been serving the Diocese of Rochester for several decades, was shut down as a Catholic high school. Another symptom of the decline in the local Church.
#9 – "Some rotten fruit"
Attendance has continued its downward spiral at St. Anne/Our Lady of Lourdes and Good Shepherd. Other lay administrator led parishes, including St. Thomas More and St. Mary downtown, also witnessed continued declines in attendance.
#8 – "Goodbye Nancy, Hello Barb"
Nancy DeRycke, a fervent advocate of women's ordination, ended her tumultuous two year tenure as "Pastoral Leader" (a title she gave herself) of Church of the Good Shepherd. Barbara Swiecki, a former temporary administrator of that church and the present administrator of Guardian Angels, was named the Pastoral Administrator for the newly formed Rush-Henrietta cluster of parishes. She is now in charge of three churches.
#7 – "Deacon speakin'"
Scott Caton, an ex-Protestant minister and married father, was ordained a Transitional Deacon for the diocese. Deacon Caton assisted at his first Mass at his home parish, Our Lady of Victory. He will be ordained to the priesthood this coming June.
#6 – "Two years remain"
Bishop Matthew Clark turned 73 this year. He is now less than two years away from submitting his resignation tot he Holy Father in Rome on the occasion of his 75th birthday. That's two more years of the Bishop Clark Forward in Hope book tour.
Just for fun- rumors have been flying around recently that Chicago Auxiliary Bishop and a friend of Tradition, Joseph Perry, will be named Clark's successor in the coming year. I know, it's a wild rumor, but hey… it's New Year's Day!
#5 – "Monroe County schools return to parish control"
The diocese announced that the Monroe County catholic schools will be returning to parish control in the coming year. Holy Cross school, which was part of a mass-closing of 13 schools, will reopen. Mother of Sorrows school will be closing.
#4 – "Big changes in Northeast Rochester"
It has been a very wild year in Northeast Rochester. St. Bridget and St. George churches closed their churches. St. Bridget now worships at Immaculate Conception (in one Mass) and St. George has their own Lithuanian Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes. St. Francis Xavier, which closed a couple years ago, was sold to local Moslems and has since been converted into a Mosque. St. Andrew, Annunciation, St. Michael, Corpus Christi, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help were clustered under the leadership of Deb Housel and Fr. Paul Gitau. The two decided that St. Andrew and OLPH should close. Fr. Mayer and Deacon Dan Hurley, who formerly led four of these five churches, are no longer part of the new St. Frances Xavier parish.
#3 – "A day of orthodoxy, a window into the future"
Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who later in the year became President of the USCCB, visited Sacred Heart Cathedral and delivered an amazing homily.
#2 – "Controversial priest suspended"
Fr. Dennis Shaw, who had made several comments against the Holy Father and the hierarchy, was suspended by the diocese over a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor.
#1 -"The Irondequoit un-Pastoral Planning Group"
Our top story for 2010 is obviously the many sad events which took place in the Irondequoit planning group. St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Salome churches held their final Masses this year. The people of St. Thomas the Apostle have appealed the bishop's decrees, and are currently appealing the suspension of Masses at their parish to the Vatican. There was also a controversial incident with a local Sikh reporter and Fr. Norm Tanck's apology and warm embrace of the man who disrupted Mass at St. Thomas. On a positive note, a very beautiful rosary for vocations was held at St. Thomas and attended by at least a couple hundred people. The "final Mass" at St. Thomas filled the 1,000-seat church beyond capacity.
If 2011 is to be more eventful, may it be because of more delightful news. God bless everyone as we begin this new year.

Catholic Dad says:
Just a brief note about #5 – "Monroe County schools return to parish control":
In addition to a return to "parish control", re-opening of one school and closing of another, the Bishop told a least a couple local Catholic schools that they are to end their 6th grade programs, effective 2012 – 2013.
This is probably an effort to bolster the numbers at Siena Academy, which will add 6th grade, but the net result for the affected grade schools includes:
1. Balancing the budget with fewer students enrolled;
2. Ending a small, Catholic grade school classroom experience for 6th graders at affected schools in exchange for public middle school or Siena (i.e., homerooms, but class changes throughout day);
3. Increased wariness among discerning parents about the long-term viability of these Catholic grade schools, at a time when numbers are critical;
4. Forced re-conceptualization of the grade school curriculum as a whole (i.e., each grade is not an "island unto itself", but, rather, a part of whole,multi-year experience. Sixth grade is now dropped out of this model, altering the curriculum, including spiritual formation, at all subsequent grades.)
My understanding, based on attendance at a meeting of affected parents, teachers and administrators, is that administration and parents learned from the Bishop about these changes after decisions were made, without benefit of their input.
That's pretty much par for the course for the MCCS System. To their way of thinking, no one outside their little closed circle of "experts" could possibly have anything of importance to say to them, especially parents.
When DOR took over control of our schools from the parishes in 1988 they began with a system of 39 schools educating 16,041 students. By 2009-10 those numbers were down to 11 schools and 3,446 students.
Rank incompetence coupled with a total disdain for parents and other potential allies are the only reasonable explanations for that miserable record.

Q: Replacement for GL_SEPARATE_SPECULAR_COLOR and GL_LIGHT_MODEL_COLOR_CONTROL OpenGL I'm trying to understand some code while I learn OpenGL. I came an across the use of GL_LIGHT_MODEL_COLOR_CONTROL and GL_SEPARATE_SPECULAR_COLOR while trying to compile an open source file but it say's they weren't declared in the scope. I did some searching and found out that they were removed in GL 3.1. I wanted to know what would be a good replacement to use instead of them in this code and what they were meant for.

A: The replacement for them is called "you have to write shaders now". That is, you write the lighting code yourself that gets executed on the GPU.
In fixed-function lighting model (which again, no longer exists in core profile OpenGL), the diffuse color and the specular color for lights are normally added together per-vertex. So the texture environment only sees a single per-vertex color.
Separating the specular color means that the specular and diffuse colors from the light are separated. So the texture environment sees a pair of colors: one for the diffuse lighting and one for the specular.
The purpose of this is to allow the diffuse lighting to be multiplied by the texture color, then adding the specular color to the result of that. That is, it allows the equation (T * Diffuse) + Specular to work. If you don't separate the specular color, then what you have is T * (Diffuse + Specular). This means that the texture color affects the specular highlight as well as the diffuse value. While this is sometimes what you want, you will more often want them to be separate, for the specular highlight to be tinted based on a separate color from the diffuse lighting.

No Comments on Captain Paul Watson of Whale Wars and Sea Shepherd in San Diego Saturday
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Founder Captain Paul Watson will be in San Diego, California, on Saturday July 28th, 2018 from 10am-2pm aboard the M/V Farley Mowat at 1492 N Harbor Drive to talk about our current campaigns that are saving our ocean's marine life.
The M/V Farley Mowat has just returned from the most successful campaign to save the vaquita to date, Operation Milagro IV.
This is Sea Shepherd's fourth consecutive year in the Gulf and the most crucial one yet for the vaquita. The latest official numbers of this species have dropped to less than 30, half the amount previously recorded in the 2015. With such dire statistics, the vaquita is now the most endangered marine mammal in the world.

The Monastery in Camaldoli is a monastic complex located within the municipality of Poppi, in the heart of the Park of the Foreste Casentinesi. The place was also known by the name Fontebuona because of the high quality of its waters, immortalized by the fountain that Ambrogio Traversari had built in front of the structure's entrance. The building complex includes the medieval Hospice, or Foresteria, the church, and the monastery, built beginning in 1046, when monks founded a small hospital near the temple. Work on the sombre monastery building that we see today instead began in the 16th century and was finished in 1611.
Among the artworks housed in the monastery, seven panel paintings made by Giorgio Vasari for the previous 15th-century building stand out. The altarpiece depicts the Deposition from the Cross and is situated on the altar. Under the grating in front of the monastic choir, there are two other small panel paintings depicting Saints Donatus and Ilariano. Two more altarpieces by Vasari are located in the chapels near the presbytery. One shows the birth of Christ and the other, the Virgin Enthroned with Saints John the Baptist and Jerome. In the background of this latter work, the landscape includes the Camaldoli monastery and hermitage as they would have appeared in the 1500s.
The hermitage is located three kilometres from the Monastery, isolated in the middle of the forest, 1,100 meters in altitude: it was founded by Saint Romuald in the 11th century and is the home of the Benedictine Camaldolese.
The public can visit the hospice, which still welcomes guests and pilgrims today, the church, the medieval refectory and Saint Romuald's cell, with the typical "spiral" shape of hermitage cells and which includes the bedroom, study and chapel.


USA's Kristine Musademba, 15, perfroms an exhibition routine to Summertime at the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) Courchevel Figure Skating Championships.
With only one Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event left to go before the Final, USA's Kristine Musademba currently leads the ladies in standings with fellow countrywomen Alexe Gilles, Amanda Dobbs, and Becky Bereswill trailing close behind. However, USA's Angela Maxwell and Japan's Yukiko Fujisawa are also up for the running and will inevitably change those stats after next week's event in Sheffield, Great Britain.
Nevertheless, Musademba feels that just qualifying for the JGP Final would be a great honor. "I would be very proud and excited to compete there considering the obstacles I have overcome this year," she said.
One of those obstacles was the coaching change from Nina Stark-Slapnik to Traci Coleman in April 2008. "I think that it's hard for every skater to switch coaches," noted Musademba. "Things changed a lot for me after the switch and I had to find my path again. There were a lot of steps I had to take to get back on track but I overcame those steps and I have brought myself into a much better place.
In August, Musademba competed at and won her first JGP event in Courchevel, France. She won the short program with only a minor mistake on her triple Lutz. She also won the long despite a problem on her triple flip. "I fell forward a bit on the landing," she explained, "and then stuck my toe in the ice for a double toe, but never got up in the air." In the end she scored a total of 143.02 points to win the event by over eight points.
During the short program, Musademba stepped out of her triple flip and wasn't able to add on the double toeloop. She also stepped out of her triple Lutz and found herself in third place going into the long.
Despite the mistakes, Musademba won the long, and with a total score of 127.64 points, captured her second consecutive JPG gold. It was close, though, as Bereswill was right on her heels with 127.27 points.
Irina Romanova and Uschi Keszler choreograph Musademba's programs. This season, Musademba chose both pieces of music for her short and long programs. Romanova choreographed her short to Within by William Joseph, as well as her gala routine to a jazzy version of Summertime. Keszler choreographed her long program to Queen Of Sheba by Eiji Oue.
Musademba, who placed fourth in the Junior division last season at U.S. Nationals, plans to compete on the Senior level this year. When asked about making the Junior World team, she felt that it would be a wonderful honor, however, her primary focus is to keep focusing on training and improving overall. She also credits her parents who have shown a great deal of support.
