Rangers pitchers Cole Ragans, Cole Winn give up homers in All-Star Futures Game
Both Rangers' Coles will become rotation mates this week at Double-A Frisco.

DENVER – On the one hand, it was not the outcome Cole Ragans hoped for – making an error, allowing a homer and a walk.
On the other, it beats any other July 11 in his recent memory.
Ragans, one of the Rangers' two pitching Coles to appear in the All-Star Futures Game, retired just one of the four NL prospects he faced Sunday in the AL's 8-0 loss. Both he and Cole Winn, the Colorado native who started the game, allowed homers.
One other thing: The teammates on Sunday will become rotation mates this week. Ragans, who missed the 2018-20 seasons recovering from two Tommy John surgeries, will be promoted to Double-A Frisco Monday. Winn is already among the Double-A Central leaders in most pitching categories.
"It's so awesome that people still believe in me," Ragans said of the promotion. "The second TJ surgery really put things into perspective about how quickly things can change in this game. It's just made me much more able to enjoy each day.
"Today was just a blessing," Ragans added. "It wasn't the result I wanted, but it was a blessing to be out there pitching. I thought I'd be more nervous. I had hardly any nerves at all."
Winn, who grew up in Longmont, Colo., north of Denver, started for the AL. It was his eighth time playing at Coors Field, dating back to his high school days. He had 26 family members in the crowd.
"They are more nervous than I am," Winn said before the game. "They will be nervous in the first inning and then get to chill out and enjoy it."
Winn may not have been nervous either, but he did throw 20 pitches in the first and allowed a bases-empty home run to Cincinnati's Jose Barrero. He struck out St. Louis' Nolan Gorman, the No. 28-ranked prospect in the minors according to MLB Pipeline, and then got San Diego's Luis Campusano, ranked No. 31, to ground out. Since the AL never tied the score in the one-hit loss, it made Winn the loser.
He showed off his clean delivery and a fastball that ranged up to 95 mph along with a changeup he said he's made significant progress on this year. The homer came on a loopy curve.
Ragans, 23, started the third inning. He got Philadelphia's Bryson Stott to bounce back to the mound, but the ball kicked off his glove and he couldn't track it down quickly enough to get the out and was charged with an error. It became more costly when Colorado prospect Michael Toglia drove the next pitch 444 feet to straight away center for a two-run homer.
He struck out Arizona's Alex Thomas before walking Barrero on five pitches. It ended his afternoon. And also his time with Class A Hickory where he was 1-2 with a 3.25 ERA in 10 starts. He will join Frisco for its series with Springfield, which begins on Tuesday. He will join a rotation that includes Winn and fellow top pitching prospect Hans Crouse.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee Public Schools canceled 160 bus routes last spring as students went back to school.
Now there is an effort underway to prepare for school starting up in the fall. One local bus company is trying to get ahead of the need for drivers.
First Student has a lot full of buses, now they just need people to drive them.
"We need drivers, people that care about the community, have a mindset of safety and want to be part of a wonderful work family," said Samuel Brown, the location manager for First Student's new location in Milwaukee.
He says First Student is looking for 100 bus drivers to fill contracts.
One of those contracts is Milwaukee Public Schools.
The return to in-person learning means drivers will be back behind the wheel.
"We're collaborating with the school district for ideas. We're being optimistic that we will achieve our goal," said Brown.
Friday, July 16, the buses were the backdrop of a unique hiring event.
First Student had fun activities and on-the-spot interviews.
Dallas Williams was there to apply.
"CDL training is free," said Williams. "CDL you can take wherever you go."
It was the incentives and the pay that brought out Williams.
"$20.50 an hour is a nice chuck of change," said Williams.
That's a dollar more than First Student paid drivers previously.
They're also offering $2,500 sign-on bonuses for people with experience and $1,000 for people with no experience.
"We're being creative and we're meeting the needs for the people," said Brown. As a company, we have to do something to accommodate people. People say I have my kids, I can't drive the bus. Well, we're understanding that so we're allowing them to bring the kids to work."
MPS contracts out eight different bus companies for schools buses throughout the district.

Hello Venus  fue un grupo femenino surcoreano del género K-pop, formado por la compañía discográfica Fantagio Entertainment. El grupo está formado por Nara, Alice, Lime y Yooyoung. Fue parte de la familia de Pledis Entertainment hasta julio de 2014, cuando dicha agencia decidió abandonar el proyecto, provocando la salida de Yoo Ara y Yoonjo. La agrupación debutó oficialmente el 9 de mayo de 2012. El grupo se disolvió en 2019.

El concepto del grupo refleja la cortesía, la belleza y el amor; el término Hello se decidió por la cortesía y el término Venus por la belleza. El concepto del amor fue tomado de las últimas dos letras de Hello y las dos primeras de Venus: HelLO VEnus.

Inicios
Predebut
Pre-debutPledis Entertainment, en colaboración con Fantagio Entertainment formaron una nueva agrupación que se dedicaría, no sólo a la industria musical, sino también a la actuación; dicha agrupación tenía que estar concretada a más tardar en abril de 2012. Según los informes de ambos organismos, el grupo se había estado preparando para su primer sencillo, el cual sería una obra de otro autor. Fantagio reveló que  «el grupo había entrenado durante casi un año y medio». Tres miembros son de Fantagio Entertainment y tres son de Pledis. Después de su debut, se informó que Fantagio se encargaría de la gestión en la actuación del grupo, mientras que Pledis gestionará al grupo, tanto en lo musical como en las variedades.

Yoonjo apareció en el sencillo Dream, de su grupo hermano After School, a su vez parte de su álbum de 2011 Virgin. Se esperaba que las tres miembros se integraran a After School; Yoo Ara fue una candidata para integrarse a After School, sin embargo, E-Young fue elegida en su lugar. Lime también estaba en el debut pre-alineación de otro grupo femenino llamado Viva Girls, pero se mantuvo en Hello Venus, ya que dicha agrupación terminó por disolverse poco después.

Alice debutó en solitario el 13 de junio de 2010, con el nombre artístico de Ora, y dio a conocer un video musical de su sencillo de debut titulado Naughty Face, el 15 de junio de 2010.

Q: Connecting to different servers based on a parameter in Python I am working on a basic python script which loads data from SQL server to oracle.
The data is coming from 2 different SQL Servers, but the table structure is same.
Is it possible, to connect to these servers based on the parameter that we can pass using command line?
For Example, Let's say the data from company1 is coming from SQL Server1 and for comapany2 from SQL Server2. When i pass the parameter as Company1, it should connect to SQL Server1 and load the data into table1 and similarly for company2.
Sample Table:
 ID        Balance    Company
------------------------------
2449079    2282.64    @Param
2449079    0.00       @Param

I want the parameter value(which is passed by command line) to be in the Company column.

A: I was able to do this using sys.argv to pass the parameters

Regional Housing Summit Sat 12th March.
On Saturday 12th March we are holding a regional Housing Summit for tenants, campaign groups, trade unions, service-users, workers in housing associations and organisations providing services to people in supported housing, sympathetic councillors and MPs, academics and all other interested parties. Attendance is free. Please register NOW by going to the Eventbrite event page here. Read on for more information.
The Housing and Planning Bill currently going through Parliament poses a dire threat to social housing. It aims to transfer vast sums of public money and assets into private hands through compulsory sell-offs subsidising the right-to-buy for housing association tenants, and incentivising developers to build publicly-subsidised "starter homes" for sale rather than affordable homes for rent. Social housing tenants are to be means-tested, with those on total household incomes of £30 000 or more (£40 000 in London) being charged "near-market" rents. New tenancies will come without security of tenure, making sell-offs easier and threatening the stability of whole communities.
The rent revenues lost through the imposition of a year-on-year 1% reduction in social rents – on top of the uncollectable arrears already built up due to the bedroom tax and now set to multiply because of the overall household benefit cap – mean that many housing associations are re-orienting away from renting on the basis of social need and towards tenants who provide a guaranteed rental income stream – or building to sell to people who can afford it. When the capping of Housing Benefit to Local Housing Allowance rates takes effect (beginning in 2018 but affecting all tenancies commenced from April of this year), much supported and sheltered accommodation, including hostels, domestic violence refuges, and supported accommodation for people with mental health, learning or sensory disabilities, look like becoming unviable.
The only solution to the worsening housing crisis is massive direct investment in secure and genuinely-affordable council housing, an end to sell-offs and the reversal of benefit cuts which present tenants with a choice between eating/heating and keeping a roof over their heads. To do this we need to build a campaign involving tenants and service-users, campaign groups, trade unions, workers in housing associations and in organisations providing services to people in supported housing, councillors and MPs, academics and all other interested parties.
To this end we are inviting all the above to a "housing summit" where we can share information, build networks between groups and sectors and between different towns and cities in the region, discuss strategy and lay the foundations for a concerted campign for a housing policy based on need rather than profit.


Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden will introduce their new work, a unique meditation on the elements of comics as seen through the molecular deconstruction of the August 8, 1959 daily episode of Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy. Columbia University comics librarian Karen Green, will chat with Mark and Paul about the genesis of this decade-long project and the author's quest to isolate the blood, sweat and tears that go into the making of a single comic strip.
How To Read Nancy is part encyclopedia, part history, part biography, part treatise, part humor theory, and part how-to-be-a-cartoonist-in-43-easy-lessons-sorry-folks-no-refunds!
$15 Non-Members | $10 Members | $7 Seniors/students (Undergrad with valid I.D.) Online ticket sales are closed. Tickets are available to purchase at the door.
Paul Karasik is the co-author (with David Mazzucchelli) of the graphic novel City of Glass, adapted from the book by Paul Auster and chosen by The Comics Journal as one of the "100 Best Comics of the 20th Century". His cartoons appear in the New Yorker. Paul teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Mark Newgarden is a cartoonist and author of the book We All Die Alone, the co-creator of "Garbage Pail Kids", and the co-author (with Megan Montague Cash) of the award-winning Bow-Wow series of children's books. Mark teaches at Pratt Institute, Parsons School of Design at The New School, and The School of Visual Arts.
Ernie Bushmiller, the creator of Nancy, began working as a copy boy at The New York World at the age of 14. His career spanned the better part of the 20th century, paralleling the rise and fall of the American newspaper comic strip. At its height, Nancy was published daily in more than 900 newspapers worldwide. Bushmiller died in 1982.
Karen Green is Columbia University's first Curator for Comics and Cartoons. She has served as a judge for the Eisner Awards, been a Pulitzer Prize juror, and is a member of the Society of Illustrators' board of directors, while also speaking at universities and comics events across the country and around the world. She teaches a summer course at Columbia on "Comics as Literature," which features the original "How to Read Nancy" essay.


President Donald Trump, who can both make the world cower in fear and belly laugh in response to his very well-known tweetstorms, wants you to know a very important fact: He doesn't "do Twitter storms."
"Do you notice when I go on and I'll put out like a tweet or a couple of tweets, 'He's in a Twitter storm again,'" he said at a Phoenix rally Tuesday night. "I don't do Twitter storms."
OK, um, but what about the tweetstorm when FBI Director James Comey got fired or the one about his failed Muslim travel ban or that time he tweetstormed the hell out of his Obama wiretapping accusations, oh and don't forget the tweetstorms about the "illegal leaks," Democrats, and the "fake media?"
And wait there's more: Don't forget the tweetstorms about Chelsea Clinton, Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski, pardons, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, and China. That last one even got China's state media to condemn Trump's "emotional venting" on Twitter.
Perhaps Trump doesn't know what a tweetstorm is? Just like he doesn't know not to stare at the sun or what Hezbollah is?
Well, according to shade-throwing pro Merriam-Webster, a tweetstorm is just a series of tweets sent by one user. So yes, Trump, when you tap out a "couple of tweets," you're stormin' it up.
With that definition in mind, one could be forgiven for thinking that early morning tweetstorms are one of Trump's favorite hobbies. You know, like watching Fox and Friends.
#PhoenixRally Someone please add "Twitter Storm" to the things that Donald Trump talks about but doesn't understand.
"I don't do Twitter storms" LOL Trump is the walking definition of a Twitter storm.
2) I'm told the term is TWEET storm.
Denying his tweetstorming nature was just one of many sweeping topics Trump touched on, including, but of course, the fake media, how his Charlottesville remarks were "perfect," how he'll build the wall even it means a government shutdown and how he'll indeed pardon ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

I'm really surprised that telepresence/telerobotics hasn't caught on more than it has. IRobot was R&Ding this tech nearly a decade ago. And the tools to make it happen have only gotten cheaper and more widely distributed. In this story, reverberating around the Interwebs, Ivan Bowman, a computer programmer, works from his living room in Nova Scotia, while his "robot" (basically a remotely-controlled computer on wheels) named "IvanAnywhere" motors around the offices of his employer, iAnywhere Solutions, over 830 miles away, in Waterloo. As with the iRobot experiences and those of others who've played with tele-robotic presence since, co-workers soon forget that they're talking to a mobile coat rack and act as if Bowman is actually there. IvanAnywhere has even attended company parties.

3-meter blind spot sensor delivering haptic handlebar feedback – Should anything enter into the sensors range (behind the bike) you'll feel a vibration through the handlebars.
Handlebar embedded directional LEDs – Proactively tells you where to turn based on the route you selected through the app.
Smart route tracking – Including traffic, terrain, elevation, etc. This information is enhanced by other peoples travels as well.
Mesh network security – Other bikes will look for the unique signature of a stolen bike and notify the owner.
A front wheel dynamo hub will charge all the electronics with a 1-hour ride.
It's an impressive list, but at the end of things I'm left asking if it's all really necessary. What does "being connected" on a bike really mean? What is the benefit? Does this actually make life easier for a new urban commuter? Are new commuters really looking for this depth of information and assistance?
We know that generally speaking the largest barriers to new riders are infrastructure and safety related – I wonder if the technological augmentations in this bike will help to overcome shortcomings in these areas… I can certainly see the value in each feature, and although you could argue that a 3-meter proximity sensor may give a cyclist the valuable seconds they need to avoid a collision, will it really help a new rider overcome their insecurities and get out and ride in the first place? Is that 3 seconds providing the right kind of safety? But perhaps, the Valour will play an important mitigation role in a city whose infrastructure falls short.
I also wonder if new commuters will have enough confidence in these technologies to drop $1,200SUSD. Though for that price, they are getting a pretty solid bike. Interestingly, to help reduce costs Vanhawks developed a new carbon layup for the frame based on biophyllic design (explained lower in the article). I'm unaware of this approach being used elsewhere in the cycling industry, so I'm intrigued to hear how it performs.
At first blush, I can definitely see value in features the Valour is bringing to the table – Those embedded directional LEDs would definitely be handy in areas of town I'm not familiar with. However, when I look at the whole package (admittedly knowing I'm not the target market), I'm not sure that I'm 100% sold.
I think there would be tremendous value in a bike like this being integrated into a bike-share program. Accessibly designed, pain-free routing, potential for built in tours (tourists), internal gearing, etc. (though I'd imagine the bikes in these programs aren't quite as spendy as the Valour).
What do you think? Is the Vanhawks Valour a technological marvel, or destroying the simplicity of the bicycle?
I for one will welcome our new digital bike overlords.
Great article guys, although I thought one of you might have gone and gotten one to test.

Iran, Tunisia to expand cinematic cooperation
Tehran, July 2, IRNA - Iran and Tunisia are to sign an agreement to boost cinematic cooperation in producing joint movies, screening short films and holding training sessions.
The agreement is to be signed by Habib Ilbeigi, the managing director of Iranian Youth Cinema Society (IYCS), and the representative of Tunisia Friendship Association.
On Tuesday, Ilbeigi accompanied by Hojjatollah Ayyoubi, the head of Cinematic Organization of Iran, met members of the Tunisian association.
In the meeting, the two sides agreed that the North African country screens a number of Iranian flicks in its cinemas.
Expressing amazement with the IYCS's expanded structure, Tunisian representatives called on the society to help them establish their own Cinema Society office in Tunisia.
Also, it was decided in the meeting that the Iranian society screens a number of feature and youth cinema films which were appreciated and received very well in international festivals, in Tunisia.
The two sides also agreed to hold training courses in Tunisia conducted by Iranian cineastes.
Tunisia is among those African countries which has a successful cinema industry. The country produces several feature and short films per year.
The representatives of the Tunisian delegation said Iranian flicks are broadcast on Tunisia's television, adding the Tunisian audience is familiar with Iranian cinema.

'Easy Money' Era in Closing Act?
'Easy Money' Era in Closing Act?
Liquidity has been at the forefront of a period of excess market returns, but that dynamic is in its closing stages, according to Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
The reason is simple: the economy is gaining momentum.
"You're moving away from the most maximum bullish backdrop for assets, which is falling rates, accelerating liquidity and rising earnings, to one of being much more reliant on earnings," Hartnett said at a press briefing on Tuesday. "The rates card and the liquidity card have been played as aggressive as they can be played."
BofA's recommendations to investors going into next year are (in order of conviction): bullish dollar, bullish volatility, bullish stocks, bearish rates, and opportunistic in commodities and emerging markets. "The view that that emanates from is a very simple one, which is that the era of maximum liquidity and maximum returns is behind us," Hartnett said.
The Dec. 5 payroll report is the latest signal that the economy is starting to heat up. BofA is still bullish on markets but it's a much more cautious optimism than in recent years and that's reflected in its return assumption of 4% – 8% total return from global equities, coupled with a projected hike in interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
BofA is forecasting 7% returns on the S&P 500 for 2015; 2,200 is its official year-end target. It's looking for about 5% positive earnings growth from the U.S. corporate sector, so S&P earnings should hit about $124 by the end of next year. "You'd think there's a lot to like within the S&P 500, but this is the lowest return we've baked into our forecast since I've been covering the equity strategy role," said Savita Subramanian, head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research.
Savita Subramanian, BaML Global
Stocks aren't expensive at current levels but they're no longer as cheap as they were a couple of years ago. "Two or three years ago or even early this year, the S&P looked much less expensive than it is today," Subramanian said. "Valuation is no longer a strong support for the market."
BofA's has found its sentiment barometer, which tracks average recommended allocations to equities by its counterparts on Wall Street, to be a reliable contrarian metric. Two years ago, in Wall Street basically threw in the towel on equities, going a record low 43% allocation to equities, which was "a real sign that we were at a point where you wanted to go long the market," said Subramanian.
Today, the consensus has risen to a 50% allocation to equities, which is "still fairly tepid in the grand scheme of things where the benchmark has been closer to 60%-65%," said Subramanian. "So the community of investors are less bearish than they were a few years ago" which means there's less upside.
The biggest kind of alpha generator over the last year is an unusual one, she said, which was to simply buy the stocks that the active community hated or were most underweight and sell the stocks that were most crowded within the active management community.
"The stocks that were the darlings of long-only funds sold off by quite a significant margin and stocks that were very underweight actually rallied the most this year," said Subramanian. "Part of this is the big bet on rising rates that has still failed to materialize."
Subramanian stressed that it's very important to retain that contrarian bias. "This is the time to think about what everybody is doing, and do the opposite and expect to continue to see attrition out of active funds into passive. Volatility is generally good for stock pickers because it creates opportunities, dispersion, and performance."
Large-cap stocks have healthy balance sheets yet are still quite inexpensive. "The active community might need to revisit their chronic bias," said Subramanian. "Active large-cap managers tend to always be overweight small-cap companies and that could continue to hurt them going forward. We could be setting up for a very good stock-picking year but it does require the active community to revisit some of their biases."

You may have your marketing campaign planned out ahead of time and think that it is going to be amazingly successful, but after it begins, it becomes quickly clear that something has gone very wrong. You are not getting the response you thought you would and are not certain why this is true. There are several things that can go wrong with any marketing campaign, but the following are some of the most common, and they are directly related to your website.
Your prospective customer has arrived at your site, but you have a slow loading site that makes a customer abandon any attempt to get further information. Your website must be fast loading and devoid of any memory intensive applications.
Sometimes the mistake is thinking you can make a sale the first time someone comes to your website, but the truth is that it often takes more than one visit to make a sale. You need to get a prospective customer's name and email, so you can attempt to entice them back to your site and make the sale later.
It is common for an online business to offer one method of payment. It is as if they believe that everyone pays the same way. Studies show that the more payment options you offer, the greater your sales will be. Make it easy to pay for the product you are selling.
If there is one thing that will get a prospective customer to abandon their shopping cart, it is when their browser tells them the site is unsafe. Make sure your payment system is encrypted and your security certificates are up-to-date.
A customer may be ready to make a purchase, but when they go to check out, there are bugs in the system, or it is simply too confusing. Always make it easy for a customer to buy your product. The best way to achieve this is with a good web site shopping cart program.
If you are currently having problems promoting your product, you need to take a look at the possible problems listed above. There are many Internet companies that offer help relating to websites and shopping cart software. They can assist you in creating an entirely new site quickly and get your business headed down the right path. One example of this type of company is securenetshop.com.


There are renewed fears over safety at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil after Argentinian club Tigre accused police and security officials of attacking them during a cup final.
The Copa Sudamericana final had to be abandoned after Tigre refused to return for the second half against hosts Sao Paulo, who were awarded the trophy.
The teams clashed as they left the field at half-time with the hosts winning 2-0. It was then that Tigre insist they were ambushed.
Pictures later emerged of the blood-stained dressing room amid claims players had been hit with sticks. Midfielder Ruben Botta was also reported to have been hit in the eye, although no players were seriously hurt.
Albil said: 'The fight lasted 15 minutes. A lot of security people came to us and attacked us.
Sao Paulo's president Juvenal Juvencio claimed Tigre had been intimidated by the atmosphere and denied guns had been produced in the away dressing room.
The Morumbi Stadium is not a 2014 World Cup venue but games will take place in Sao Paulo in just 18 months' time at Corinthians' Arena de Sao Paulo, which will host the opening match and five other fixtures, including one semi-final.
Security has already prompted an extra £560million investment in vehicles, helicopters and surveillance equipment ahead of the World Cup.
The Confederations Cup next June will see stewards employed by private companies for the first time at matches in Brazil, while the local organising committee aims to have one police officer for every 50 people at matches during the World Cup.
A FIFA spokesperson insisted the organisation has 'full confidence' in Brazil's security arrangements and added: 'FIFA cannot comment on the incidents at the match in question, as FIFA were not involved in this match operation.
'However, for the FIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA World Cup there will be a comprehensive security concept for the stadiums in place developed by the local organising committee together with the respective authorities and reviewed by the FIFA security experts.
'The FIFA Confederations Cup will be the first football competition in Brazil to use mainly private stewards for safety and spectator services as it is already a standard procedure in many countries around the world.


If necessary, St. Louis County will do mosquito fogging on Sunday nights starting Memorial Day Weekend. If you want to know what locations are scheduled, please call (314) 615-0680.
To monitor and treat standing water on public property and easements. This includes ditches, drainage areas, non-flowing creek systems and sewer catch basins. Another source of disease carrying mosquitoes is standing water on private property. Often, residents don't realize their role in this issue. The City of Twin Oaks encourages and tries to educate residents on the removal or treatment of standing water on their property. Residents may use commercially available products that are safe and effective to treat birdbaths, ornamental ponds, swimming pool covers, etc. for mosquito larva. Unwanted water sources should be emptied. Municipal nuisance ordinances are a tool in minimizing potential breeding sites on private property.
Traps are set in specific habitats, strategically located throughout the County. CULEX is a targeted mosquito, which is the main vector for West Nile Virus (WNV) in the St. Louis area. Captured mosquitoes are counted and tested for WNV. Mosquito trap results are among the factors used in making adulticide spraying decisions.
The dynamics of mosquito control changed with the arrival of West Nile Virus (WNV) in the St. Louis Area. Disease control and prevention is the public health priority for St. Louis County. Following national recommended protocol, we base our spraying decisions on several factors: mosquito trap results including species, quantity collected and positive WNV test results; human and animal WNV positive cases; complaints and weather. Prior to WNV, spraying was driven by complaints, but that is no longer the case since the level of tolerance for mosquitoes varies dramatically among individuals.
For more information regarding St. Louis County's Vector Control Program, please call 314-615-0680. To hear specific information regarding locations being sprayed daily, a recorded message is available at 314-615-4284. This message is updated daily between 4pm and 6pm. Spraying begins at sunset.


Hi Everyone, I hope you are all having a good August, whether it be having a summer holiday or enjoying the great British weather.
This month I decided to tackle part of a project that I have been putting off doing. For those of you who regularly read my blog posts, you know I have been working on my 2015 USA trip album for a while, and I am making progress on it slowly but surely. I have been trying to tackle it in events of the trip to ensure that I capture all the stories from that part of the trip. I felt it was time to tackle the Disneyland Park day, be warned this is a photo heavy post.
I had over 100 photos from this day, so I wanted to get them all scrapped, so decided I was going to tackle it using common themes on all the pages. You will have seen in blog post before when I am tackling I am project I work in stages, the first stage for this was choosing the papers. I went with Simple Stories Say Cheese III, I had a couple of bits from the previous two collections in my stash which I added to my pile of goodies.
I started off by using my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some themed embellishments and them fussy cut some of the papers. I took some time to add some stitched detail to these parts, before I even started to make my pages, to add some extra detail.
I then grouped my photos in to different events in the park, the two parades, general park shots, and photos of us as a group.
I knew that I wanted to do some double pages in order to add more photos for each event, I ended up make 3 double pages.
I used cardstock for my background and added my pattern papers and embellishments on top, this really helped to spread my stash for this project.
I explain my process of making these pages and the others in this blog post in a two-part YouTube video on my channel.
The next set of pages I set about making were the single pages, I used photos on these that had a more singular story or ones that I wanted to show case. I made 6 single layouts.
For the final photos, I used an assortment of pocket pages to showcase my photos. I liked using the different styles and again stretched my stash of papers by using the cards and my embellishments in selected pockets. I ended up with 5 pocket pages.
I did not use every single photo, and have a few I have saved of us as a group to tell other stories from the trip. I am happy that I was able to tell all of the stories from this part of the trip, but more importantly showcase all the photos I wanted.
I hope that I have inspired you to tackle a project of event that you may have been avoiding. Remember to visit the Chat and Inspiration Facebook group and share some of your pages scrapping Disney or other theme parks.
Have a fab crafty month and see you in September with more crafty adventures.
I love these, what a fab collection of layouts.

Developer to Build 3 Hotels, Supermarket & Apt Building in Jamaica
A Flushing developer is planning to build three Marriott-brand hotels in downtown Jamaica, near the LIRR and AirTrain station to JFK Airport. Chris Xiu recently purchased the site of the former Gertz department store on Archer Ave for $22 million in cash. The property, on the corner of Guy Brewer Boulevard at 163-05 to 163-25 Archer Avenue, is the largest development site in Jamaica.
Jamaica Tower LLC plans to construct two hotels — a Courtyard by Marriott and a Fairfield Inn and Suites — on Archer Avenue, near 149th Street. Both hotels would be located in one building and will be built by Construction & Development Group of Flushing.
The new 16-story building will contain more than 330 hotel rooms, with 224 rooms planned for Courtyard, while Fairfield Inn and Suites would have 114 rooms.
Plans for the Archer Avenue hotels were approved by the Department of Buildings in August.
Mr. Xiu, who has built several hotels in Flushing, near LaGuardia Airport, and in Chinatown, also plans to build an apartment building and a supermarket on Archer Avenue, near Guy Brewer Boulevard.
The development site, which consists of two adjacent lots with nearly 90,000 square feet, includes an unused seven-story parking garage and several shops, and can accommodate of 720,000 square feet of new construction.
The developer intends to demolish the garage at 163-25 Archer Avenue, and replace it with market-rate housing with several hundred apartments.
He is also planning to replace the existing stores located at 163-03 thru 163-17 Archer Avenue with a large supermarket.
Jamaica Tower is also planning to build six-story hotel — a Springhill Suites by Marriott — at different development site located on Queens Boulevard, between Jamaica and Hillside avenues. That hotel will feature 160 rooms.
A representative from Marriott has confirmed that all three hotels are in development, and expects the hotels to be open for business within three years.
Downtown Jamaica, which has been dynamically changing in recent years, has become a major transportation hub since JFK's AirTrain station opened in 2003.
And since the neighborhood is only minutes from the airport, at least a dozen new hotel and real estate developments have been planned for the area.
Councilman Peter Koo believes the projects will bring hundreds of new jobs to the neighborhood.
"When you build hotels, you bring prosperity to the community," Koo said, adding that hotels attract tourists, who spend money in the neighborhood when they "shop for souvenirs, eat at local restaurants and call a taxi."

There are many articles on the web about this subject, many of them are US based and some of them I read during the process of getting my phone to work, there are some gotchas so I thought I would share my experiences to save other people some time and hassle.
I have carried 2 phones for years, one work, one personal, recently I migrated a sim to a bluetooth box which worked with an app on the phone, slightly better, but still 2 devices to carry and keep charged, I like iphones (I know many don't) and was super excited when Apple released the XS supporting 2 SIMs, at last I could just carry one phone.
The process below worked for me, but took a few days of messing about and googling and as the whole eSim concept is new the shop staff didn't know much about it either, openly admitting they had never done one before, so hopefully this blog will save you some time and frustration!
This blog is UK Based and talks about UK Carriers only and is all about the iPhone XS, getting the eSim and the 2nd physical sim to work and the steps required.
At the time of writing only EE support the eSim in the UK.
You can only turn off the eSim not the physical sim!!
The 6 month carrier lock in, this too bit me, apparently new phones are "locked" to the carrier for 6 months and will only accept a SIM from that carrier, in my case EE, my second SIM that I wanted to put in the phone was an O2 SIM and it didnt work, so I had to take out a second contract with EE and port my O2 number to the second EE SIM, again be aware of this and plan accordingly.
an eSim (this is a yellow/green card) I got mine in store with the new phone.
My phone also had a working physical EE Sim in it from my old phone, unsure if that makes a difference to the setup process, I have heard in the past that iPhones don't complete the setup process properly without a sim, this may have changed.
Once I had a fully functioning phone with my physical sim in it, I had a nosey around the IOS options and could see plenty of 2nd SIM options, this was looking good.
If you have any problems call customer services on 150 (EE Only) you will need some numbers from the back of the eSim yellow card.
You will also be asked to which SIM to use as primary and secondary SIM, this can be changed later in settings if required.
Restart the iPhone "Settings > General" scroll to the bottom, tap "Shut Down", wait a few seconds then power phone back on again.
Once restarted, nothing looks any different, but if you don't restart it, the eSim doesn't work properly!
Note the instructions, old SIM must be in a phone and switched on!
I entered the code and the 12 digit eSim Serial Number which is on the back of the yellow card as hi-lited in Red above.
The phone number in the eSim part of the IOS config was still all 0000000000's, restart the phone again!
Job done! the new eSim has my number on it and the old physical sim is now of no use, and I suggest you remove it because otherwise it appears in several places in the iPhone config and it gets confusing.
I then changed the physical sim for another physical sim with my second number on it, I now have 2 working sims with 2 different numbers.
In the top right of the screen where the signal bars are you will see a set of dots underneath this signifies 2 SIMs and the signal strength of each.
Here you can see more detail about each SIM.
Then go into "Settings > Messages" and if you use iMessage you can choose which SIM (number) to associate with iMessage, check "Text Message Forwarding" this is a handy feature if you have other Apple devices, also (scroll down and) check "Send & Receive" mine had several numbers in here and I had to choose the correct numbers for iMessage to be happy.
Tap "Always use" which might say "Last Used" and you will get a choice of SIMs to use for that contact.
Tap the 540 at the top to get a choice of SIMs to use for that call.
Enter the number and when you start typing your message, the SIM choice button will appear.
I now have one phone with 2 SIMs (numbers) and can selectively keep business and personal numbers separate, I can use the data allowance off either SIM and swap when I wish.
The iPhone XS (like some others) has Face ID which is fantastic and saves typing in your access code every-time you want to unlock your phone or use Apple Pay, some secure apps are also using Face ID thus not requiring a second password to use them. It also has wireless charging so less faffing around with charging cables!
If you need a phone system or a phone number for business please contact us and quote this blog.


It was of course but a coincidence of the calendar that the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America fell on a Sunday, the first of a new NFL season; but a fortuitous one nonetheless. For a decade ago, as a reeling nation took its first tentative steps toward whatever was to be the new normal, sports played their part in reestablishing a welcome sense of routine while providing much-needed diversions.
Once games began anew, the completion of interrupted seasons led to a thrilling seven-game World Series between the Yankees and Diamondbacks; and, a few months later, the first Super Bowl won on the game's final play when Adam Vinatieri's kick split the uprights for the Patriots. A decade later, the late-season standings allow for at least the statistical possibility of a reprise of that World Series; and for the NFL, this first weekend allowed fans to finally vanquish "lockout" from the lexicon and focus their attention on meaningful play on the field.
The first weekend always brings some surprises, and this year was no exception. Seven months removed from representing their conference in the Super Bowl, the Pittsburgh Steelers committed seven turnovers while being blown out by division rival Baltimore, 35-7. In the NFC, Atlanta was an early pick by many experts for a strong season and a deep playoff run. But in Chicago, the Falcons seemed overmatched by the Bears defense in a 30-12 loss.
Other teams were able to match pre-season expectations, positive or otherwise. No team was more active than Philadelphia during the brief post-lockout free agent signing period. The Eagles and their newly enriched roster easily dispatched St. Louis, 31-13. Meanwhile there was great concern in Indianapolis over the Colts' prospects with Peyton Manning out, perhaps for the season, following a second neck surgery. A 34-7 loss to division foe Houston justified those concerns and perhaps signaled a changing of the guard in the AFC South.
But on this 9/11 the marquee matchup was between the franchises representing the two cities most impacted on 9/11/01. At a packed FedEx Field outside of Washington D.C., after emotional pre-game ceremonies, the Giants and Redskins renewed their long-standing NFC East rivalry. To be fair, it's been a rather one-sided rivalry of late. New York came into the game with six straight wins over Washington. The Redskins haven't had a winning record since 2007 while the Giants haven't had a losing one since 2004, and stunned the undefeated Patriots in the 2007 Super Bowl.
With that as background it wasn't too surprising when the Redskins went three and out on both of their first two possessions, nor when their first sustained drive ended with a Graham Gano 39-yard field goal attempt sailing outside the right upright. Meanwhile the Giants took the early lead the second time their offense touched the ball. After stepping up in the pocket to avoid the rush, Eli Manning found Hakeem Nicks for a 68-yard completion to the Redskins' one yard line. On the next play Manning took the ball into the end zone himself on a simple bootleg around right end.
It's a 60-minute game though, and thanks to some spectacular catches by several Redskins' receivers on high passes by Rex Grossman, the Washington offense began to find some rhythm. Following a 25-yard punt return by Brandon Banks, Grossman completed 4 of 6 passes and Tim Hightower had several fine runs as Washington drove 64 yards to tie the score early in the 2nd quarter. After the Giants took the lead on a 6-yard run by Ahmad Bradshaw late in the first half, the well-traveled and lightly regarded Grossman was even better. Running the two-minute offense to perfection, he was 6 for 6 for 80 yards, capped by a short touchdown pass to Anthony Armstrong to send the teams to the locker room tied at 14.
The ability of teams to make in-game adjustments is critical to success in the modern NFL. Last year the Redskins defense was ranked 31st in the league. But on this Sunday, after the Giants rolled up over 200 yards in the first half, it was Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett who changed his scheme just enough to propel Washington to victory. On the third play of the second half, Manning's short pass to the right was intercepted by linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who charged 9 yards into the end zone to put Washington ahead for the first time.
In six more second half possessions, Manning and the Giants managed only four first downs, and one of those was in the game's meaningless final moments. The closest they came to scoring was when a 38-yard field goal attempt was blocked. When Grossman's passing and Hightower's running moved the Redskins 70 yards for their fourth touchdown with just over five minutes remaining, Washington was on its way to victory.
Late in the pre-season Eli Manning announced in an interview that he considered himself one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks, on a level with the likes of his older brother and Tom Brady. Even among Giants fans, the claim was met with a mixture of bemusement and disdain. In this season's first game he finished with a decidedly pedestrian quarterback rating of 69.0. One good rule of thumb may be that if one has to declare oneself an elite player, one probably isn't.
No one will ever confuse Rex Grossman with Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, but on this day he threw for more than 300 yards and two scores, even if it was against an injury-riddled Giants defense. Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has essentially bet the season on the notion that he doesn't need elite players, just ones who will master and adhere to the system that he and his assistants have put in place on both sides of the line of scrimmage. For one week at least, score one for the system.

HCB News: What has been your most memorable experience with the society?
VR: I have been impressed with the dedication and passion of the volunteers who make invaluable contributions to advancing the mission of the society. The most memorable experience has been an opportunity to work with radiology leaders worldwide, understand global challenges, and to explore areas for collaboration to improve patient care.
HCB News: What items top RSNA members' wish list of things they want from their society?
VR: RSNA has over 54,000 members throughout the world, so their needs are diverse. However, a consistent need is education. RSNA continuously strives to expand and enhance its educational offerings to address the evolving needs of our members. Also, members want access to the latest research, which we provide through our annual meeting, through our journal Radiology, and through three new online journals we are introducing next year. Members also appreciate the grant opportunities offered by RSNA, and, of course, the networking experiences. Our members are interested in anything we can offer them to help make them leaders in their specialty.
HCB News: AI and big data are both hot topics over the last few years – how much have they impacted radiology, and can you talk about some of the challenges and opportunities to both of them?
VR: The biggest challenge presented by AI is getting past the perception of some that it will replace us. I feel the opposite is true. Not only can these new technologies benefit education and research in radiology, they also demonstrate the potential to ease manpower shortages and make radiologists more quantitative in diagnosis and therapy. I believe that, employed effectively, AI applications will allow radiologists to make a more meaningful contribution to the world of personalized and precision medicine.
The same could be said for big data. The challenge is to find new ways to harness all of this information efficiently. Machine learning advances have given us the ability to analyze increasingly complex data sets. As we enter the era of precision medicine, this ability has the potential to introduce new and improved diagnostic capabilities and transform the way we practice.
HCB News: Are there any new skills that you believe radiologists will need to develop to be successful in their careers in the future?
VR: We continue to see a transition to a value-based practice model, so radiologists will need to embrace that approach to remain relevant in the coming years. I also believe that health services research will play a big role. Radiologists need to follow trends in imaging utilization, costs, patterns of use, and quality improvement efforts and their relationship to outcomes. To be successful, radiologists should investigate ways to add value and reduce waste in healthcare. These topics will continue to be critically important to our field into the future.

The Sunday Intertitle: You Raskol, you
Posted in FILM with tags Crime and Punishment, Dostoievsky, Raskolnikov, Robert Weine, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari on August 21, 2011 by dcairns
Thanks to Neil McGlone for RASKOLNIKOV, admittedly jumped-around by random splices that teleport its cast short distances, and intertitled in a schizoid mix of Russian and Italian, just two of the many languages I don't speak. But this film is so consistently hard to see, I'm grateful for an opportunity.
Robert Weine's expressionist take on Crime and Punishment suffers an almost unique disparity between its prominence in all the literature on German cinema, and its frustrating unavailability on DVD and on the repertory circuit. Is this the result of some unspoken value judgement, silently declaring the film to be less interesting than its design, less significant than its place in history? A possible basis for such a dismissal lies in the undoubted fact that German expressionism and Dostoevsky are unlikely bedfellows. True, one must accept that the movie adopts the bare bones of the novel's plot and doesn't really attempt its nuance or depth: that being the case, we have to overlook its failings as an adaptation and consider what it achieves in its own right.
KOWMAP — Russian for "nightmare"? If so, how apt that would be! A map drawn by a cow would be a geographical nightmare indeed!
And what is that? Given my inability to read the intertitles, my findings are only preliminary, but I'd hold the film's sheer visual beauty up as its prime virtue. More solid and less painterly than Weine's earlier CALIGARI, it serves up a constant stream of striking images, setting its tale in an expressionist-constructionist St Petersburg of jumbled, off-kilter shapes. The actors hue to a roughly naturalistic style, somehow moving through the jutting diagonals without producing too violent a clash, although all interaction with the zany UPA-meets-UFA doors is fraught with peril. The Big Idea is obviously to portray Raskolnikov's world as a nightmare, a slightly inflexible approach which struggles to accommodate subtleties —
For instance, here's the stairway to the pawnbroker's flat (above).
And here's the same stairway in Raskolnikov's nightmare, after he's murdered the pawnbroker. Both sets and shots are wondrously striking, of course, but there's something oddly unsatisfactory about the very idea of an expressionist nightmare version of something that's already an expressionist nightmare.
By contrast, the scenes involving Detective Porfiry are relatively restrained — the angles are still skewed, but the structures within the police station mainly look as if they might actually belong to a real, non-avant garde building, reflecting the character's status as an avatar of rationality. While outside, all is chaos ~
I guess the problem with all of this is that it's vague and amorphous where the novel is clear and specific. In the book, Raskolnokov's troubles stem from poverty (or that's certainly how he sees it), which Weine can't convincingly evoke on his shattered-mirror stages. The novel's character has nightmares that reflect upon and deepen the central narrative in the allusive way typical of real dreams, while the movie's character has nightmares which replay scenes we've already witnessed, only with even wonkier walls.
None of which stops the film being a jagged visual feast, and more than worthy of a full Institute Murnau-Stiftung type restoration and re-release. Are you listening, Herr Stiftung?
Scary Intertitle of the Week

Darn, I was sure I'd grabbed an intertitle from THE HANDS OF ORLAC (Robert Wiene version, with Conrad Veidt) or else Murnau's PHANTOM, also with Connie V, but no, this is from Wiene's CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. Not that I've seen any of the above films, but I plan to fix that before the week is out.

Alfred John Bostock Hill, also known as Alfred John Bostock-Hill (1887–1959) was an English cricketer. A right-arm bowler, he played one first-class match for Warwickshire in 1920. The nephew of Warwickshire players Henry Hill and John Hill, he later had a more successful cricket career in the Far East.

Biography

Born in Solihull on 8 April 1887, Hill played for the Warwickshire Second XI against the Worcestershire Second XI in 1910, but did not play for the first team until 1920, when he played a County Championship match against Surrey, his only first-class match.

At some point in the early 1920s, he moved to the Federated Malay States and first played for the Federated Malay States cricket team in 1924 in a match against the Straits Settlements in Kuala Lumpur. In May 1926, he represented the combined Malaya cricket team against Hong Kong in Singapore, followed by matches in Kuala Lumpur for the Federated Malay States against Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements.

[Eng] Korean Top B-boys Group Jinjo Crew Sparks the Local Breaking Scene with Ablaze
By: William Chan
Talking about Hip-hop, B-boys, or street dancing in Hong Kong, one might only have a negative impression of youngsters straying on the street at night, messing around… at least this was the image of B-boys to many local people before the huge success of the movie The Way We Dance in 2013. As the director of the movie, Adam Wong, shared in a talk earlier in September, local B-boys and B-girls were always getting kicked out of almost everywhere they tried practicing their dance moves. But it was not until the movie gained popularity, that some popular practicing areas in town banned breakers. Although more people understand and welcome breakdancing now, Hong Kong people still have a long way to go to totally understand and accept the culture of B-boys and B-girls.
In this year's World Cultures Festival, audiences were delighted that a top Korean B-boys group, Jinjo Crew, was invited to town, and presented not only two evenings of world-class street dancing spectacular, but also battled with a group of local B-Boys and B-girls, rocking up the local street dance community and amazing audiences.
Established in 2001 by brothers Skim and Wing in Seoul, Jinjo Crew is the first B-boys group to have won five major international street dance competitions including Red Bull BC One, Battle of the Year, Freestyle Session, UK B-boy Championship, and R-16 Korea World Final, which they have won three times in a row. Even though I am no expert in B-boying, seeing the titles Jinjo had won, it was hard to not expect extraordinary performances on stage from these Korean B-boys. And after watching the one-hour long Ablaze, the program they brought to the stage of the Auditorium at the Ko Shan Theatre New Wing, even though I had high expectations, I wasn't the least bit disappointed. I was truly amazed. I can very much understand why they were favored in those competitions and have won so many hearts of dance fans around the globe.
Jinjo means rising(Jin) fire(Jo) in Korean, and they use the title Ablaze as the overall name for their stage show, vividly giving both a vibrant and energetic impression, and a force to conquer. The production starts with video showing footage of Jinjo Crew in competitions and on tour in different parts of the world – it acts as a teaser for what's to come as well as an introduction to this world-renowned B-boys team.
However, Jinjo Crew does not follow the introductory video by burning up the floor with fast and furious moves right away instead, pieces derived with traditional Korean cultural elements come first. In The White-clad Folk, B-boys in white clothes dance with extended long sleeves, combining some traditional dance moves with basic breaking steps; while in Banghwang, crew members show off their fantastic freeze and flare techniques to the Lee Kyung-sup composed Banghwang (wandering). And in the third work TAL, B-boys in traditional Korean masks (tal) present a softer work with traditional Korean music. These three pieces try mixing traditional Korean culture with B-boying from the West. Although I appreciated the intention, I felt the energy level was generally low. I am not sure whether it was because it was just the beginning of their first show in Hong Kong or because this hybrid form itself is not uplifting enough.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere heated up when Jinjo Crew presented their award-winning TA as the fourth dance of the night. This R-16 Korea World Final 2012 winning piece, shows not only impressive skills by individuals, but also nice duo and group moves with non-stop jumping and rolling, which display intense cooperation among group members. Even though the piece also uses Korean traditional music composed by Lee Kyung-sup, the dancers are more spirited than in the previous works, and the well-choreographed ensemble moves are equally remarkable, clearly demonstrating why Jinjo Crew beat their counterparts at dance competitions.
Besides TA, Jinjo Crew also performed Invader, which is the champion piece of the Performance Division of R-16 Korea World Final 2011. Using an edited mix of the classic dance beat song The Invaders Must Die composed by the legendary The Prodigy, Invader is a total feast of power moves. Members of Jinjo Crew display precise spins, moves, and freezes, as well as show extraordinary turtle hand spins and head spins that perfectly match the dynamic dance beats. They even add a magical trick with jackets on stage: tie up sleeves of three jackets to form a ring with well-calculated synchronized movements, and let the fourth person jump through it.
During the performance, they also introduce one of the Korea's best beatboxers, 2Tak, to showcase his fantastic skills in making sound with his mouth, as well as interacting with the B-boys through beatboxing. Although 2Tak is not the regular beatbox master of the Jinjo Crew, his performance is still phenomenal, a part where he makes five different sounds simultaneously is truly astonishing.
A few from the audience were invited to go on stage in the middle of Ablaze, to learn a simple yet interesting routine from Jinjo Crew members. Four out of five of audience members who went on stage on the evening I watched were little kids and it became a little bit out of control when one of the little boys didn't follow what was going on. Nevertheless, such an interactive section between the group and the audience was still well received.
The show concludes with a freesytle section where every crew member gets a chance to showcase his own spectacular moves for the audience. Although only nine of the fourteen B-boys members from the Jinjo Crew performed in Hong Kong, and only one of the choreographic brothers, Skim, came, these dancers astonished the local audiences with their innovative and skillful moves throughout the program. Besides crew leader Skim, the versatile Octopus and Kazino with long limbs always caught my eye. Octopus has a very relaxed attitude and always wears a smile, and he can do complicated moves with ease; while Kazino's flares and elbow spins are impressive, and his hand glide with backhand is particularly outstanding.
Apart from the two performances at the Auditorium of Ko Shan Theatre New Wing, Jinjo Crew also battled with local B-boys and B-girls in an outdoor performance at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza C on 7 November. Generally speaking, the technique demonstrated by the local 852 Crew is not that much inferior to those of the Korean champions, some individuals really showed great skills in doing power moves including windmills, spins, flares, and freezes, but that is all.
During the 20-minute friendly battle, one can see blistering skills from both sides, but it is obvious that the dancers from Hong Kong generally lack creativity. While Jinjo Crew members perform a lot of variations from just a simple spin, local B-boys and B-girls kept repeating standard flare to spin routines. Certainly it is unfair to compare Hong Kong 'amateur' breakers with the international champion B-boys, but the experience can probably give local dancers ideas about ways to improve.
B-boying has its roots in the West, but Seoul has developed into a hip-hop powerhouse and its dance crews have been winning awards across the globe in the past ten years. One of the major reasons for this is the great support from the Korean Government. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea and the Korea Tourism Organization give continuous support to Jinjo Crew as a national ambassador when they are touring aboard. While in Hong Kong, we still have no organized B-boys and/or B-girls crews who can keep training as professionals. Without support, it is almost impossible to grow local breaking stars. I sincerely hope inviting world-class B-boys to town is only the first step, more emphasis in nurturing local street-dancing artists has to be the next.

Soaring number of deaths in Syria prisons
Nearly 2,000 people have died in Syrian jails in 2014 due to torture and starvation, Syrian Observatory says.
Mon Nov 03 2014 11:59:24 GMT+0000
There have been a documented 1,917 deaths in Syrian prisons since 2014 [Esa Alexander/The Times/Gallo Getty]
A staggering 1,917 people have died of torture, starvation and lack of medical treatment in Syrian prisons this year, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said.
The Britain-based observatory said on Sunday it had documented nearly 2,000 deaths since the start of 2014.
The dead include 27 children under the age of 18 and 11 women.
Human rights groups have repeatedly criticised the widespread use of torture and the conditions in Syrian detention centres.
Al Jazeera could not independently verify the observatory's claims due to restrictions on reporting in Syria.
The accusation comes after 55,000 photos were smuggled out of Syria earlier in the year by a former Syrian military police photographer, known as 'Ceasar', whose images offered a brief glimpse into the abuses within the government prison system.
Emaciated bodies
The 11,000 digital photos showed the emaciated bodies of dead detainees.
The defector described seeing bodies with "deep wounds and burns and strangulations".
While some of the bodies had been turned over to their relatives, the Observatory said, other families were told to collect a death certificate.
In certain cases families were forced to sign documents stating their relatives were killed by opposition forces, the Syrian Observatory said.
Some blame the lack of accountability as the leading reason for widespread deaths within prison.
"When the killer knows that there is no punishment, he keeps on committing his crimes and commits even more," Rami Abdel ahman, Observatory director told the AFP news agency.
Approximately 200,000 people have been detained by the Syrian regime in jails and other government facilities.
Nearly 190,000 have been killed since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011.

Q: Does chrome understand compiled javascript? Instead of having V8 compile JavaScript on the fly and then execute it, isn't it possible to just compile the JavaScript beforehand and then embed the machine code in the page instead of embedding JavaScript in the page?

A: There are two main problems with shipping machine code on the web:

*

*Portability. No server can afford providing appropriate machine code for all possible system architectures out there (present and future). E.g., V8 already supports 10 different CPU architectures.

*Security. No client can afford to run random machine code on their machine without knowing if it can be trusted.

To address (1) you'd generally need to cross-compile machine code, which is more difficult and costly than compiling down from a high-level language. To address (2), you'd need to validate the machine code you receive, which is more difficult and costly than compiling a high-level language.
Machine code also tends to be much larger than high-level code, so there is a bandwidth issue as well.
Now, JavaScript may not be a particularly great choice of high-level language. But it is what we are stuck with as the language of the web.

A:
The way I understand it, the V8 JavaScript engine compiles to machine code anyway so why not just do it beforehand?

According to the W3C HTML5 Scripting specification, there's no standards-based reason why a browser couldn't support machine code with special type attributes (as Chrome does with the Dart language):

The following lists the MIME type strings that user agents must recognize, and the languages to which they refer:
"application/ecmascript"
"application/javascript"
...

User agents may support other MIME types for other languages...

Currently, no browser has implemented such a feature.
I suspect the primary shortcoming of such an approach is that each chip architecture would require a machine-code version of the script compiled for it specifically. This means that in order to support three architectures, a page would need to include a compiled script three times. (And it should be included a fourth time, as plain JavaScript, as a fallback for architectures that you didn't include, or for browsers that can't/don't support compiled code.) This could significantly bloat the size of the page with data that is mostly useless. The increase in load time would seem to significantly offset or completely outweigh whatever time you save on compilation.
An architecture-independent compromise solution like bytecode seems pretty poor: you still need to include the script twice (once for the bytecode, once normally for scripts that don't support it) and you need to do some kind of run-time processing on the bytecode to turn it into machine code.
The multiple-includes-with-fallback problem is exactly why other scripting languages have not made it into the Web environment: they would need coordinated cross-vendor support to be useful. Google is trying with Dart, but it remain to be seen what degree of success they see.
Note that Chrome does cache compiled versions of scripts so a script only needs to be compiled once and then the compiled code is cached for reuse when the user re-visits the page.


The City of New Buffalo and Downtown Development Authority, with their partner The Pokagon Fund, are celebrating the completion and opening of the multi-million-dollar investment in New Buffalo's Downtown. The event will begin at the Northwest corner of Mechanic and Whittaker Streets for the unveiling of the Pokagon sculpture, and march south to Merchant and Whittaker Streets for the ceremonies and ribbon cutting. There will be entertainment, small bites, and other fun activities. The New Buffalo Farmer's Market will begin at 4:00 p.m.
North Whittaker Street and the surrounding downtown areas represent the results of tens of thousands of hours of time committed by residents, city and regional officials, city staff and managers, volunteers, consultants and contractors to create an environment unique to the New Buffalo community. A visually appealing place for residents and visitors alike to safely access by walking, bicycling, or driving to create memories and build bonds was the ultimate goal. This project is the culmination of a $4 Million+ commitment by the community, including a $1.6 million grant by The Pokagon Fund, to replace functionally obsolete water and sewer lines, enhance the commercial viability of our downtown businesses, increase the overall number of available parking spaces, improve accessibility for persons of all abilities, and create a place for the community to gather and celebrate.

Offset printing is the most popular type of printing in today's printing industry. It is true that it has many varieties and uses different techniques and materials (paint, paper).
While the 'hot' offset where the printed paper web passes through the drying tunnel. The classic offset (water) is associated with the use of water rollers and hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, however, this method is already abandoned due to the difficulty in obtaining a good balance of water and oil paint. The successor of this method is anhydrous offset printing where silicone molds are used instead of water.
A4 Colour laser printer buy Online sale of printer inks is currently enjoying great interest among people with different types of printing devices.
Especially those Internet users who are aware of the fact that they will make a huge number of printouts are very eager to use online stores with printer inks.
This allows them to find such goods that have very good and even lowered prices making their buying extremely attractive.
Mobile advertising on the car is a good idea for a local company to advertise. Such stickers on the body or even paint the entire company car in advertising.
However, as everything can be overdone here too, so it is not worth refocusing the subject. Sometimes it's enough to use a simple sticker with the logo and phone number, which can be easily ordered from your local printing company.
Most of them also offer low advertising stickers, which can be useful in any company. .


Teamship is an answer to a question of game design that i developped in a memoir (downloadable in a french version above).
I askedv myself if it would be possible to create a balanced multiplayer game playable with every devices. In short, yes, you can. But you have to adapt your gameplay to each device. So, you will have a different experience of the game if you play with controller, or with smartphone.
So the game takes place in a far future, where galactics consortiums rules the world. You and your team control a spaceship (in side view), and, depending on your device, you will have a different position in the crew, depending on what device you are using.
If you have the controller, you will be pilot, with important reflexes, if you have the pad, you will be the engineer, with good management skills, if you have the keyboard, you will be the artilleryman, with huge accuracy, and then, if you have the smartphone, you will be the gunsmith, with fine agility.
Also, with my memoir, I developped a method allowing to create gameplays with unusual devices, like treadmilll or graphics tablet. Spoiler alert : it makes you be a energy mutant or a astral scribe.

Q: Eclipse Juno typing lag on OS X Lion this is mostly to raise awareness and promote certain bugs on the Eclipse team I guess.
Env:

*

*MacOSX 10.7.4
-Eclipse Juno final 64bit

*Core2Duo MacBookPro 2009

*SSD main HD.

*Java 6 SDK used (latest revision from Apple Update)

It seems on quite large Java source files (1-2klines), typing of any code anywhere is causing

*

*1) Extreme CPU load (peaks)

*2) Quite a lag on typing

I have tried to disable autocomplete, line printing, and other features, reduce or increase memory settings on eclipse.ini, but nothing resolved it.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Eclipse Bugzilla search query.

A: I noticed this on Windows 7 as well.  I checked my task manager and eclipse was paging out from memory.  Edit the eclipse.ini file (found right next to the eclipse executable).  I up the memory limit to:
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m

Depending on how much RAM you machine has, you can first try
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

I have 16GB of RAM so I went higher.
It helped me, hopefully it works for you too.

A: Thanks for the input...
I'm pretty sure that much of what you're seeing is caused by
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389019
This was causing us to execute some very heavy-weight code on every character. It's been fixed (as of 2012-09-20) and will be available in 4.2.2. Should you want to test to see if this solves your issue it's available in any 'M' build later than that date.

A: I have the same problem. The lag goes away if I close console window (doesn't work anyway?!) and restart eclipse.
My run/debug configuration windows and subclipse commit/update windows aren't working either.

Just a few steps away from the Graben is the Bognergasse, in the Goldenes Quartier. Along this street are hip and traditional pubs and shops. One of them is the restaurant "Zum Schwarzen Kameel", which can look back on a long history.
In 1618 Johann Baptist Cameel opened a Gewürzkrämerei. Under the name "Kameel", which still exists today, numerous food and wine merchants practice their activities here. The camel was even chosen as the K.u K. purveyor. The history of the restaurant continues successfully, because today's owner family transformed it into a delicatessen and began to serve food to the wine.
After a few decades, some renovations and expansions have been carried out, so that not only celebrating in the anniversary year of the 400th anniversary, but also show some renewals. The restaurant was enlarged and a barn garden was opened in Naglergasse, at the back entrance.
