Bridget è un personaggio immaginario appartenente alla serie di videogiochi Guilty Gear.
Il personaggio è noto per la sua ambiguità di genere.

Design e creazione
Ishiwatari ha creato Bridget come "un personaggio carino"  per variare il cast dei giochi, dal momento che "c'erano già altri personaggi belli e difficili". Poiché molti giochi di combattimento avevano già questo tipo di personaggio, e "sarebbe troppo noioso se il personaggio fosse stato semplicemente carino", Ishiwatari "voleva qualcosa di non convenzionale"; lui e il suo staff decisero che "sarebbe stato interessante rendere il personaggio un ragazzo, nonostante l'aspetto fortemente femminile."

Il creatore della serie ha anche affermato che Bridget era un personaggio difficile da animare; egli "ha il doppio dei fotogrammi dell'animazione" grazie ai  movimenti del suo yo-yo. Ha trascorso "un tempo molto lungo e molto frustrante nel tentativo di far funzionare l'animazione", rifiutando molte versioni prima che il personale dello studio rendesse Bridget "naturale".

Biografia immaginaria
Bridget è stato introdotto nel terzo videogioco della serie, Guilty Gear XX risalente al 2002, e sembra essere una ragazza dal momento che sembra vestirsi da Suora,questa particolarità deriva dalla credenza che i gemelli identici diverso portino sfortuna. Crescendo, Bridget è determinato a dimostrare di non essere sfortunato e diventa un cacciatore di taglie per dimostrare la propria virilità che combatte con uno yo-yo e  Roger, il suo orsacchiotto meccanico e sovradimensionato. Il suo viaggio continua quando I-No le consegna una lista falsa di taglie
Finisce per lavorare al ristorante di Jam Kuradoberi.

Gradually, Donald Trump is again appearing on major international media and newspaper headlines due to his controversial comments. From the very beginning, he has been using aggressive terms and phrases to knock down his rivals. He won election to become president. Then he is eager to do the cabinet reshuffling by removing Flynn drastically to enhance the fairness in his government. However, he is also not satisfied with the press because of distorting information delivered by him. At the recent 77 minute long press conference with a group of journalists, he boldly criticized the roles of paparazzi that must be fair, and truthful to dish out information to people.
Donald Trump accuses media as the haven of rascals and urchins who don't know how to deploy true facts. Hypocrisy in media and online journalism is increasing to force president to go to court for justice. Why is Trump controversial to media? Is he telling lies boldly? Few experienced journalists think that Donald Trump is maniac with boldness to lie so comfortably, he seems to be a psycho. He has many odd things to promote. Once he called all Muslims jihadists. Then he condemned Hillary Clinton for her involvement in Panama paper leakage. She is also swindling innocent people.
If she becomes president, she will dismiss the right of owning guns for self-defense. So, all these aggressive comments disheartened social reformers, and people who need peace ending hostility. Donald Trump also lambasted a Mexican judge for his highhandedness to treat the Trump badly. Now, again, Unifier has tough time to do harsh verbal exchange with reporters. At a long conference, he disclosed his vexation and displeasure about the role of media. He opines that there are two types of media freelancing - one is ideological standpoint and other one is cynical entity. In terms of media ethics, a duty bound journalist must be compelled to write authentic stories without sticking to nepotism. Bootlicking resembles blackmailing. CNN or any top notch press flashes fake news to have unlimited favor. Opponent party leaders like Jeb Bush, Ted and Hillary are taking advantage using the media.
Donald Trump is himself a media personality as he appeared in a number of reality shows in past. His media appearance was a booster to fuel up him to mobilize the way to success in the presidential election. This media is now reporting against him. They must have good ideologies to report what is true. Well, in this case, meticulous observation is needed to operate facts generating machine without misrepresentation. Hypocrisy and ambiguity are not acceptable to anyone who is honest. Media plays the role of a clown with sarcastic tone to ridicule Donald Trump whenever he needs to do something fast. 21 days have gone and Donald Trump is clearing his pending assignments after being elected president of America. However, he has had received massive Tweets, and caustic feedbacks from various agencies. Even American intelligentsia class is not happy to evaluate the 100 days action plan designed by Donald Trump to support the innovation in the American society. He has once e said that all radical components will be burnt to ashes removing the presence of ISIS militants. It is a bolder approach to fight with terrorists. However, his aggressiveness against all Muslims dissatisfied the well wishers and social reformers.
Trump travel ban can be dangerous for president to talk to ME leaders for pacification. There are many loopholes in his speech when he issued his executive order to stop the flow of Muslim refugees and travelers from seven countries into America for the next 90 days. This decision nurtures racial profiling. Media projected him as the dragon with ill force to torch the world in anger. Few critics think that Donald Trump is narcissist and he is also a dilettante with h high profile lifestyle. He is not capable of understanding pulse rates of downtrodden class. He lives in Utopian land and his connection with common people is not strong.
On the contrary, Donald Trump threatens up journalists and newspapers for defaming his image. Media is using colorful chevrons to make Trump unpopular with a soiled image. It is their conspiracy and Trump will not be broken in rumors. The last press conference was jam packed with reporters and viewers. Trump told all media associates that he won by higher margin than Regan. In reality, Obama, Clinton and Bush also earned more Electoral College votes comparatively. He is now in complete psychological disorder to blame the media whenever he gets chance.
The recent reports based on possible nexus of Donald Trump with Russian diplomats have triggered controversies once again. Donald Trump leaked classified emails and messages when he chatted with Russian top brass. Donald Trump commented that the presentation of his words has been severely remodeled branding him as a liar. What he spoke in public may not be real story. Well, maybe he leaked the information to Russian political leaders but these materials are not confidential. It is not risky for American security. Reporters are cynical with suppressed tone of sycophancy to support a specific class willingly. He knows how to protect the country. He is not Hillary Clinton to deliver official messages through private server. He sacked Flynn for his insubordination to update Vice president about the phone calls to talk to Russian ambassador. Donald Trump directs all newspapers and media to be honest when they cover press conference. Fake information is destructive to soil Trump's glossy image in public.
Controversy has not ended. Donald Trump should be more constructive and strategic how to comment. He must not have impatience when he attends any international press conference. He is a newbie in American political arena. He should learn from senior leaders if needed. However, media has its own ethics to do the proper assessment before publishing the reports after editing.


The answer as always is "How long is a piece of string", however, momentum is gathering and hopefully it won't be too long in coming. In the meantime, NALS (the National Approved lettings Scheme) the only independent regulatory body in the sector which is recognised by the government is forcing the pace. The government has issued its response to the Rugg Report, a review of the Private Rented Sector and one of the key recommendations is the regulation of lettings and management agents.
In order to take forward discussions on this recommendation, NALS established in March 2009 a Licensing Consultative Forum which comprised industry and consumer groups to consider a draft framework prepared by NALS for a statutory licensing scheme. The licensing framework document which has been presented to the Housing Minister and officials and the Department of Communities and Local Government, clearly points to the facility with which mandatory regulation could be introduced, combining the necessary level of protection for the consumer but without placing undue financial burdens or constraints on the business of lettings and management agents.

Vice President Pence in a Full Honors Welcome Ceremony for the Secretary of Defense
Written by White House
Washington, DC - Vice President Pence in a Full Honors Welcome Ceremony for the Secretary of Defense:
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Mr. President, Secretary Esper, members of the Cabinet, members of Congress and of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and most especially to all those who wear the uniform of the United States and their families and the civilians who support you:
It's a special honor to be here with all of you at the Pentagon — the symbol of American power — and to join all of you for the full honors ceremony of the 27th Secretary of Defense, Secretary Mark T. Esper. (Applause.)
As the men and women who serve here at the Pentagon know well, since day one of this administration, President Trump has taken decisive action to make the strongest military in the history of the world stronger still.
After years of budget cuts, President Trump fought for and secured the largest increase in our national defense in more than a generation, including the largest military pay raise in over 10 years. (Applause.)
At the President's direction, we produced a National Security Strategy that puts America first, pursued the modernization of our nuclear arsenal. As the Secretary just said, our NATO Allies are contributing more to our common defense than ever before. And with the strong support of leaders in Congress, we're well on our way to establishing that sixth branch of our armed forces: the United States Space Force.
And today, Congress will vote on a budget deal, thanks to the President's leadership, that preserves the historic investments we've made in our national defense, it provides for our veterans, and also ends the defense sequester once and for all. (Applause.)
Mr. Secretary, because of this President's efforts, you will inherit a military better equipped, better trained, and better prepared than any military in the history of the world. And the President and I have every confidence that you will lead the Department of Defense with the same dedication and integrity that marked your 21-year military career.
Mr. Secretary, your reputation for leadership and your patriotism no doubt accounts for the 90 votes that you received in the United States Senate and confirms the confidence that the President is placing in you today. So, Mr. Secretary, thank you for answering the call to serve our country once again. (Applause.)
President Donald Trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the American people. And today, by providing renewed leadership to the Department of Defense, our Commander-in-Chief is taking one more critical step to provide for the common defense of the American people and our way of life.
So now it is my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce your Commander-in-Chief and the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.

I have already listed two methods to disconnect users on your computer using Who is on My Wi-Fi and Netwatcher, but in case of Android there are many unofficial apps to remove, disconnect or I should say kicking out users from connected Wi-Fi. I strongly recommend to use apps from Google play and that's why I have a app from Google Play Store that remove users from Wi-Fi.
Open app and grant root access to when prompted.
Now select the devices you want to disconnect and wait for 10-20 seconds, if want to test it then try to disconnect one known device from the list or use it at home. The device will keep remain connected but can not access internet until you will remove your selection from that device in app.
This is it, this app works fine on any rooted device running on Android 2.3 or above. To allow them you can remove those selecttion and those device will get internet access back. You are not actually kicking out users but restricting them from accessing Internet even if they are connected. Simply you are diconnecting users from Wi-Fi internet access.

All-Star Superman - At last! The discussion!
Posted by Figserello on August 17, 2010 at 9:35pm in Inklings
[Another thread in our Morrison Reading Project.]
The over-arching plot of All-Star Superman truly kicks off when Superman goes to the rescue of a spaceship on a mission to capture some of the Sun's molten substance and bring it back to Earth. Morrison names the ship the Ray Bradbury, in honour of the author of the classic Golden Age sci-fi story "The Golden Apples of the Sun" which describes a similar mission. This story is a key reference point for All-Star Superman and sheds some light on its mythic content.
On the one hand Golden Apples of the Sun is typical of classic sci-fi in that it describes what such a futuristic mission might be like "in all reality" and the challenges which the physics of it would entail. On the other, it is a beautifully poetic meditation on the Sun's place in our imagination and stories, its benevolence and its fierce power. Bradbury is a fantastic writer, and it's a must-read.
Here's a taster:
Their rocket was the Copa de Oro, also named the Prometheus and the Icarus, and their destination in all reality was the blazing noonday sun. In high good spirits they had packed along two thousand sour lemonades and a thousand white-capped beers for this journey to the wide Sahara. And now as the sun boiled up at them they remembered a score of verses and quotations:
"'The gold apples of the sun'?"
"Yeats."
"'Fear no more the heat of the sun'?"
"Shakespeare, of course!"
"'Cup of Gold'? Steinbeck. 'The Crock of Gold'? Stephens. And what about the pot of gold at the rainbow's end? There's a name for our trajectory, by God,. Rainbow!"
"Temperature?"
"One thousand degrees Fahrenheit!"
I originally posted this Bradbury connection because of a reading of Golden Apples on a digital radio station, but now that that's not available, hmmmm, let's just say, someone should inform the Bradbury estate that it's very easy to google the story these days...
(Incidently, the second Bradbury story on that program, The One Who Waits was adapted, knowingly or not, into a Youngblood story by Alan Moore. Perhaps it was an homage rather than a steal?)

Regarding more showing than telling, in this very recent talk Morrison admits that Quitely's command of body language and nuance allowed him to cut down on the amount of expositionary dialogue that he felt he had to include. I think I guessed as much earlier in the thread.
Issue 8 – Us Do Opposite
As happens a lot with Grant's work, the more you look at these two lesser All-Star Superman comics, the more stuff I find that amuses me.
The 'credits page', normally laid out to look like movie credits in this series, appears towards the end of each of these two issues, rather than near the start. 'Us do opposite', indeed. And on that same credit page, Superman is pretending to object to the Bizarros attempt to launch him out of Underspace by saying 'Yes...yes ... yes'. Superman brings the positive no matter what he's doing. (Surprisingly enough, that's another quote from James Joyce's Ulysses, by the way.)
I like the idea of the Underverse. It's a comicbook version of the apparent fact that life as we know it, infinitely complex and sophisticated, was built up from simpler, more basic systems and building blocks of existence. We ourselves are each an amalgam of basic cells, all specialising in their own simple tasks, which have banded together to form individual human beings with all our capabilities and dreams and aspirations. Even more complex society and culture then grows out from the collection of human beings past and present.
Morrison's previous work looked upwards along this chain towards Gods and almost perfect beings like the JLA, but here he looks backward down the chain at the daft, incomplete and barely coherent Bizarros, whose pathetic home is the foundation underlying Superman's finer world. In fact, in Zibarro, we see one instance of this world aspiring upwards towards sense, complexity and coherence, which is the whole point of the Underverse.
I love how the Bizarro JLA are the nadir of all Bizarro lifeforms, just as the JLA are on the top rung of mortal existence in the DCU Earth. The Bizarro Flash is the slowest man on the planet, and the Bizarro Batman was killed by his own parents as a child. Their portrayal is hilarious, but they are also subjects of Morrison's usual empathy with outsiders and those that aren't winners in life.
Finally we have Zibarro, who might seem extraneous to what Morrison is doing with All-Star Superman overall, but he is another way to examine the mythology of Superman. Zibarro is trapped on a world where he is much more intelligent and sensitive than everybody else, and consequently misunderstood and self-pitying.
He's obviously an illustration of how someone like Superman might have ended up if Kal-El didn't have those reserves of humility, compassion and optimism that he displays again and again in this series.
Another writer would have explored these ideas by having Superman himself go through this over-sensitivity, self-pity and weariness with the world. Just look at the recent Superman work of dear old J. Michael Straczynski for instance. Morrison knows that in a proper superhero story, one we go to for actual heroism and optimism, 'grounding' the characters (Heh heh!) in too much realism and mundanity defeats the purpose of the whole thing. So as here, he 'externalises' any possible faults or failings in the heroes which he wants to explore.
Still, it only takes a few moments thought to realise that Superman's opinion of the violent, irrational, self-destructive people he has found himself among on his Earth must be along the same lines as Zibarro's attitude to the pathetic Bizarros. So, indirectly through Zibarro, we get another angle on Superman's patience and benevolence towards humanity.
The Bizarro issues, no less than the other more popular instalments, are about the core myth, after all.


Atlanta mosquito control and global warming are linked together through the activity of mosquitoes in winter. Mosquito control systems are generally not needed in late fall and winter. However, you cannot afford to relax your vigilance at any time, because mosquitoes do not all die in winter – they merely become inactive. It's the same reason you don't see many bears in winter – they are not dead, just hibernating. So what happens to mosquitoes in wintertime?
Mosquitoes are not aware of seasons as we are, but they do react to temperature. Once the ambient temperature reaches around 50F (10C) their systems begin to shut down and they become inactive. They will hide underneath the leaves of foliage, in and behind drainage downpipes, in cracks and crevices in walls and anywhere else they feel safe and hidden from predators and the worst of the weather.
In Atlanta Georgia, this temperature is commonly reached in late fall/early winter. Come December it should be uncommon to see a mosquito flying around your yard. However, due to global warming and climate change, you may even now be experiencing regular winter temperatures of above 50. You may therefore see mosquitoes flying until later in the month than normal.
As previously stated, mosquitoes do not necessarily die in winter. Some species do, but others simply become inactive, waiting for better weather. They can then become active in spring, seeking blood protein for their eggs. Some lay eggs which can last throughout the winter, ready to hatch in spring. Some larvae can lie dormant until spring comes when they mature into adults.
If winter weather fluctuates between cold and warm, then it is possible for you to come across the odd insect that appreciates the rise in temperature. It makes sense, then, that if the ambient winter temperature tends to rise, then mosquito populations will rise with it. Several studies have been carried out on the relationship between winter temperature fluctuations and mosquito populations.
A study carried out on this by Cory W. Morin and Andrew C. Comrie was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)*. The results of this study showed that as global warming and climate change proceed, there will be an increase in the risk of West Nile Virus to humans. This will be due to an extension of the active season for the mosquito types that transmit this virus in the Southern states of the USA.
This extension will not take place at the same rate across all the southern states, and much will depend upon local climate and ambient temperatures. However, it is believed that as global temperatures increase, even if just by one degree, the activity of mosquitoes will change and may push the 'safe' farther back into the winter months.
As daytime temperatures increase, it is possible that some species of mosquito may become active during the warmer days and rest in the colder nights. Records show that that the average temperature in Atlanta has tended to increase over the past 35 years. Whether or not this extends into an increase in mosquito activity is another question, yet to be answered.
Statistics can be manipulated of course, but there does appear to be a gradual increase in minimum temperatures. This could conceivable have an impact on the activity of mosquitoes. It just takes the coldest minimum to start going over 50 for there to be a potential problem.
The conclusion for all this is that it makes sense to prepare for the mosquito season early this year. It might never happen, but if you are caught on the hop then it is possible for mosquitoes to start breeding earlier than you might think. Their bites indicate that the females are creating eggs and that the laying season will not be far behind. If you take action too late, then you will be fighting a war against increasing numbers of these insects rather than preventing their creation when it was still possible to do so.
Whether you agree with the theories or not, mosquitoes will react to increasing ambient temperatures by becoming active, breeding and then using your blood to provide the protein they need to create eggs. Take action early by clearing out any potential containers for standing water and setting up a barrier to stop them rampaging around your yard and your home.

Have you seen any of the old scrapbooks bound by cord with black pages, where the pictures are captured with the photo corners on the page? Where the owner used a silver pen to document the who, where, and when?
I have one of those from my deceased mother-in-law.
I also have my own version which actually holds my husband's family photos. I lifted them from my mother-in-law's old scrapbook and placed them in my black leather album and wrote some stories she told me before she died, and some from my husband's memory.
Scrapbooking is a big business these days. And just when I think it's time has come and gone once more, another generation of young girls (and possibly some guys) pops up and reminds me that treasuring your memories never goes out of style.
Some of my favorite album layouts have been created on those classic black pages with little more decoration than a narrow border down one side and a story penned with silver or white ink. Those simple pages whisper elegance to my soul and forever memories. Like the old ones from yesteryear, I know this sleek, leather-bound book will withstand whatever life has in store.
However, deep as I am currently in the work of my family memoir, I've opted for a more streamlined approach to page creation.
These layouts of today I'm creating with my vintage photos will be bound and self-published into a book that will stand in line with my scrapbook albums. In this way, I'm still doing the work of scrapbooking, just in a different way. I'm combining memoir and scrapbooking.
Yes, which equals a ScrapMoir.
This week I listed on my blog some of the resources I'm using to write my book. My digital scrapbook software, some free downloads from the web—along with some purchased products—and a few handy-dandy add-ons like family trees and charts. Click below on my blog link to see the entire post. You'll also see a rather not-so-simple layout of my Grandma in the yard of one of the first homes I remember. I do like to "play" a little with all of the available products at hand.
This layout, featuring a picture taken on New Year's Eve 1950, was fun to create. I think the "party" aspect called my right-sided brain out to play. Still, there's a story there, and I know my cousins will love this page in the book.
Not every page in the family memoir, of course, will be a scrapbook layout. I'm using them interspersed throughout to highlight the memorable stories. Some pages will simply contain text. Some will have photos without a layout. Some will bear pictures of documents. On Ancestry, and other genealogical sites, you have the ability to download these important elements of your family history. Census records, birth and death certificates, marriage license reports.
Recently, on Ancestry, I clicked on another member's "Tree" that came up on my page as possibly relating to my family. Turns out she is a third removed relative of mine. She had posted a picture on her page of one of my grandmother's sisters and the house she died in. This was a huge bonus for my book. And a new member of my family!
Another asset to your family history is providing historical world and local events that take place during the era of which you're writing. I've found vintage photos from Cincinnati in various archives that I can use with images of my ancestors to show what the city looked like then, or events that were taking place at that time. For instance, the 1839 Flood that my mother witnessed, while living on the banks of the Ohio River.
Some photographs need to be purchased, but the prices of these are not a hindrance in most cases, especially considering the importance they add to your work.
Give some thought to using a few selected scrapbook techniques to create family history pages, either for an album or maybe your own family memoir. I consider this project my life's work. This will be the best gift you can give anyone.

Woman as her central subject has given Munkhtsetseg the opportunity to create an uncompromising narrative through which to explore questions of spirituality, birth and death, female sexuality, personal disappointment, and motherhood. To examine these she uses numerous symbols from Mongolia's rich cultural heritage. The birds, clothing, children, traditional Mongolian medicine, legends and myths on the origins of the world, humankind's relationship to nature and animals, and the striking traditional hairstyle known as ehkner us, which means 'married woman's hairstyle,' all inform her figurative art, recent abstractions, and representational collages and drawings.
Munkhtsetseg's portraits of women are not gentle or refined or timid. They are tough, highly textured, boldly colored studies of characters that exude powerful emotions. While she speaks clearly to her own culture, she is also addressing womankind far beyond it. Her commanding protagonists are by turns also absolutely still and animated by tension in their fluid geometry. This is accentuated by her use of strong blues, reds, browns, and greens. This is especially true of her works in which children and giving birth sit at very heart of her narrative," wrote Findlay.


the ever unique EGO does it again! your description fully explains how this is even possible (LOL) - love it tim!
It's hard to keep up with you. Gimme the hamburger with some onion rings.
you said it. Damn this is good and challenging - like the best of egobandit. Excellent brain salad.
Check out the new Flaming Lips CD.
Especially the harmony on the vox, this is floydish with a punk sensibility... great one Tim!
cool approach with the vocals.
Song is cool too! A percussive delight.
considered a life writing clues for cryptic crosswords?
Apart from the description, this is really interesting stuff. It's a little beyond me where you get your ideas from, but even though you make music I'd normally find inaccessible, somehow when you do it, it isn't.
Very weird and enjoyable. Do I hear a little Bowie sneaking in there?
lyrics. Wonderful groove and amazing drums. Great to hear your vocal high in the mix, you're sounding a bit like Bob Dorsey here.

Rumor: AC Milan's Sulley Muntari in LAFC's sights?
Is the hot stove heating up for LAFC?
By Alicia Rodriguez Mar 14, 2015, 10:35am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Rumor: AC Milan's Sulley Muntari in LAFC's sights?
Muntari at the 2014 World Cup.
With Los Angeles Football Club's six-month anniversary since announcement of its establishment fast approaching, comes the first transfer rumor involving the club.
GianlucaDiMarzio.com, a website that focuses on Italian soccer, reported on Saturday that AC Milan midfielder and Ghana international Sulley Muntari was "being targeted by Los Angeles FC, a club who is looking to compete with the Galaxy in the southern California market."
The article, by David Amoyal, notes that Muntari has one year left on his deal with Milan, and isn't getting many minutes with that club at the moment. The article does also say that another Serie A side, Fiorentina, are also interested in Muntari.
Muntari, 30, has spent his entire professional career to date in Italy and England, playing for Udinese, Portsmouth, Inter Milan, Sunderland and AC Milan. He was part of the treble-winning side with Inter that won the Champions League in 2009-10, and he also won the FA Cup with Portsmouth.
A midfielder who occasionally scores absolute rockets, his reputation for inconsistency has led to him being a squad player more often than not, though he's had strong seasons along the way.
He is also a Ghanaian international, though his tenure has not been without controversy. He was reportedly sent home from the 2004 Olympics for disciplinary reasons, left off the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations team after a dispute with the head coach, and most recently, sent home during the 2014 World Cup after allegedly assaulting a member of the coaching staff. On the other hand, he has participated in three World Cups (2006, 2010, and some of 2014), as well as two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, 2008 and 2012.
If Muntari and LAFC are truly interested in one another, it does bring up a big question: what would happen in the "gap year" between his contract running out and LAFC hitting the field for the first time, currently planned for 2017? Of course, he could sign with MLS and get sent out on loan, like with David Villa signing last summer ahead of New York City FC's first season, and then spending some time on loan at sister club Melbourne City FC, or with Kaká signing with Orlando City SC and then going on loan to São Paulo in the meantime.
At any rate, what do you make of the report? Muntari has considerable pedigree, but would he be a good signing for the newest MLS club? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Below are books recently released by Boulder County and Colorado authors:
The Creative Heroine's Path: Live Your Creative Life
Julie Baldwin
Solevoluna, 195 pages, with color illustrations, $19.95
Having abandoned her own love for creative writing for technical writing, local author Baldwin seeks to help women live lives "filled with creative passion and purpose … to wake up your life and blaze your creative path." She offers a process through which anyone can do just that, offering her own experience and careful steps for readers. "Everything in the outer world is a mirror of your inner world," she writes. "If your soul is starving, you'll see the outer world as a dangerous place."
Buzz! Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies
Kenneth Carter
Cambridge University Press, 225 pages, $19.95
Carter, a clinical psychologist and professor at Emory University, is not a local author, but "Buzz!" may be of interest to the kind of thrill-seeker Boulder is famous for, from high-wire artists over Eldorado Canyon a century ago to world-class climbers, mountaineers and extreme athletes. The book is an entertaining mélange of anecdote and neuroscience, a deep dive into the pervasive human need for sensation-seeking. "While you may not take up Olympic skeleton racing anytime soon, learning about sensation-seekers may inspire you to expand your experiences a little," Carter writes.
Wisdom for Living: Learning to Follow Your Inner Guidance
Sharon Clark and Reynold Ruslan Feldman
O Books, 159 pages, $16.95
Boulder author and workshop facilitator Feldman offers scores of short essays, in alphabetical order, "meant to stimulate your own wisdom" and addressing everything from "Gender Wisdom" to "Laughing Wisdom" and "Sailing Wisdom." "It's wise to understand," Feldman writes, "that wealth is not a one-way ticket to happiness, even if we have the winning lottery number. … Contentment tends to come, if at all, in spite of our wealth or lack thereof."
Migrating for Medical Marijuana: Pioneers in a New Frontier of Treatment
Tracy Ferrell
Toplight Books, 237 pages, $19.99
Ferrell, a member of the writing and rhetoric faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder, draws a parallel between the recent influx of medical-marijuana researchers, health-care professionals and patients and pioneers who staked out homesteads and mining claims. An informative mix of data, research and personal
interviews, the book advocates for more research at a time when, "The world of cannabis is changing at a blistering pace."
J.P. Gritton
TinHouse Books, 240 pages, $15.95
Boulder product (New Vista High School), and Duke University assistant professor of English, Gritton spent his youth writing science-fiction stories, but his debut novel has its feet firmly planted in very gritty soil, indeed. Shelley Cooper is broke, unemployed and his wife has left him when he signs on to be a mule for his weed-dealing brother. The delivery to Texas goes fine, but now he's got to get back home with his brother's dope money. Both violent and compassionate, "Wyoming" is Western noir sprinkled with grim humor, a la "Fargo." Gritton will speak and sign the book at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Boulder Book Store, 1107 Pearl St., Boulder.
Scribd, 215 pages, available through Scribd subscription
Front Range author Heller, author of the New York Times-bestselling novel "The Dog Stars," moves from traditional publishing to Scribd's e-book and audiobook subscription service with his new novel. Chinese poetry translator Hayley removes to a remote cabin in Vermont's Green Mountains to escape a manic world and drug-addicted husband and immerse the narrator, her 7-year-old daughter Frith, in the wisdom of nature. When artist Rose Lattimore comes into the picture, it seems they have found paradise. But tragedy is not bound to the civilized world, and Frith cannot be shielded forever.
The Winter Army: The World War II Odyssey of the 10th Mountain Division
Maurice Isserman
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 318 pages, with black and white illustrations, $28
Anyone who's skied the high country of Colorado has probably heard of the 10th Mountain Division, the famous elite alpine unit that trained here for fighting amid the snowy peaks of Europe in World War II. Riva Ridge is not just a beloved intermediate ski run at Vail, it's the location of a harrowing, cliff-climbing assault in Italy that caught the Germans by surprise. Isserman vividly reconstructs the whole history of the division, from training at Camp Hale near Leadville to its entry into the fighting in 1945. "The 10th played a vital role in the concluding months of the long and bloody Italian campaign," he writes. Perfect for the World War II history buff on your holiday list.
Kristie Betts Letter
Engine Books, 213 pages, $14.95
Local high-school teacher, poet and author Letter's first short-story collection is by turns surreal and amusing, is haunted by ghosts and death. Ranging from quirky short-shorts and vignettes with names like "Dogs in Country Music" to more fully fleshed out, but equally askew (in a good way) stories such as "Real Estate," about a man's investment in a cemetery plot that may not be unoccupied. But Letter's imagination and use of language is so poetically striking that you can flip to almost any page and find unexpected, often hilarious, passages: "Daddy always wanted to be cremated. Being Catholic makes cremation impractical since according to Father O'Malley, God only pays attention when you arrive in satin-lined oak with inlaid mother of pearl"; "Amy Fisher jokes never go out of style in New Jersey"; "Sinead O'Connor knows that female hair is just another tool of oppression." Letter will speak and sign the book at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Boulder Book Store, 1107 Pearl St., Boulder.
Go Find: My Journey to Find the Lost — and Myself
Susan Purvis
Black Stone Publishing, 415 pages, with black-and-white photos, $16.99
Confused and directionless at mid-life, Purvis joins the ski patrol at Crested Butte, then decides to train Tasha, a 5-week-old black Labrador retriever puppy in the art of avalanche rescue. Part memoir, part manual in the fascinating science of avalanche rescue and the remarkable abilities of our canine friends, "Go Find" explores not just how in the process of training a dog to rescue lost avalanche victims, Tasha helps Purvis find herself. Much of the book takes place in the mountains west of Boulder.

Why Travelport launched its travel startup accelerator
Any company can create a startup "accelerator" by offering serviced office space to cohorts of startups and making pre-seed investments for equity.
But Travelport, the UK-based platform technology company, is taking a bolder tack. Not only is it the only one of its business-to-business travel tech peers to create an accelerator, it also has a bigger vision and greater ambition for it than is usual.
NB: This article is sponsored content by Travelport.
Travelport Labs, based in Denver, has many goals, but a top one is putting to use the company's hard-won industry insights and connections to help a new generation of innovation rise in travel.
It aims to do this by hot-housing solutions that lie outside of its core lines of business.
The tech giant also hopes it will internally enjoy halo effects from the program. For instance, it wants to encourage Travelport employees to think more like entrepreneurs. Partially this is achieved by having internal teams run their new ideas right alongside external startups in the accelerator.
Importantly, Travelport wants to prove itself to the world's top technical talent via action — not just talk.
The company has dedicated a staff of five to the program and it has seen what it calls excellent participation globally from both business and technical leaders. Perhaps most impressive, though, is the traction the program has gained outside of Travelport.
The last cohort concluded on June 16 and Demo Day was attended by more than 100, including investors, mentors, and interested parties from both the travel and startup scenes in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado, area.
Certainly the accelerator also serves as a chance to show off the company's APIs (details, here), SaaS-based solutions, technical culture, and platform-based network. But Travelport is consistent in indicating this is not about creating customers out of startups.
Nathan Bobbin, Travelport's Sr. Director of Product Innovation, who is responsible for the program, says:
"The accelerator is an opportunity for Travelport to give back and an opportunity to be on the front lines of the next wave of disruption in the travel industry – regardless of where that may be occurring in the value chain."
For example, one of the accelerator's external teams in its most recent class was PicThrive, founded by a pair of brothers from Vancouver whose model is to digitize and streamline the process by which travelers on tours and activities, such as a whitewater-rafting trip, can buy and receive photos taken of them.
This certainly appears to be a good way from Travelport's traditional sweet spot of travel distribution, but PicThrive's founders felt the program was perfect for them.
"Joining the Travelport Accelerator was the best decision we could possibly have made for our business," says one of the brothers, Neal Belovay.
Getting the vibe right
Like other accelerators, Travelport Labs develops cohorts of startups through a vetting process, with an offer of intensive support to build a community of effective strivers.
This autumn, its fourth class will get access to a 16-week program. (For details, see our earlier story on tracking graduates of the Travelport Labs Accelerator.) The application process closes July 8.
The class that graduated on June 16 developed good camaraderie, says Bobbin:
"An interesting thing happens during these 16 weeks. The teams gel in a way that's really special. They're going through a hard thing together. They begin to hold each other accountable. It's no longer the coaches and staff of the accelerator that are saying, 'Is that the right test? Are you really doing the right thing?'…The accelerator staff is highly skilled and experienced, but feedback from a peer resonates strongly."
That said, many of the external founders lack familiarity with the ins and outs of the travel industry. The accelerator exposes them to mentors from within Travelport and elsewhere in the industry who have deep knowledge of search and of the intricacies of distribution, such as how passenger name records work.
Travelport can also make intros that can lead to business development.
Raising the metabolism
Bobbin says an essential part of the design for every class has been "the dynamic of the internal teams and the external teams working together."
For internal staff, the company runs idea challenges on specific questions or domains. It holds one-week programs, called Lean StartINs. The sessions are basically a miniature version of the accelerator. They teach and apply the Lean concepts of build, measure, learn, and loop.
The best ideas and teams flow into the accelerator, as internal teams working alongside externally sourced ones.
In the most recent class, an internal team called DriveMe focused on improving the user experience for travel agents who are booking pre-planned ground transportation, a.k.a., black cars. Until now, booking this channel has been a cumbersome process for agents.
Jason Nash, GVP global marketing & product incubation at Travelport, says: "Anything that any company can do to help the agencies that we work with be more successful in the market is obviously good for us."
Nash points to an internal team that helped create a new version of ViewTrip, its mobile itinerary management tool, and another internal team whose project is to help travelers, agents, and airlines more smoothly respond to flight cancellations, irregular operations and other disruptions that can strand consumers at airport hotels.
Travelport Labs has learned enough in the coaching of a few classes that it has begun to offer to run workshops for other travel companies. Labs team members can come in and teach the same methods over a week to help kick start startup-inspired innovation efforts.
But the team doesn't think it has all the answers. It says it drinks its own Kool-Aid when it comes to working iteratively.
Among other lean practices, it holds four retrospectives throughout any given four-month class to get feedback from participants. Then it focuses in a systematic way on improving the top pain points that have been surfaced.
One innovation that resulted from a retrospective was the adoption of group OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results. The Travelport Labs staff, not just the startup teams, has embraced the concept, which basically means iteratively setting up goals and measuring results in a transparent way that makes stakeholders accountable to their peers.
Looking ahead, Travelport Labs is exploring having an incubator function that helps internal and external teams launch and commercialize their products, though discussions on that idea are still ongoing. Says Bobbin:
"By challenging startups is to learn as much as possible as fast as possible and as inexpensively as possible, we hold ourselves internally accountable to maintain that metabolism for our own work, too."
For external startups, applications for the next class can be found at f6s.com. Travelport Labs says that an estimated 70% of the applications are weeded out just on the basis of those written and video-recorded applications.
At a high level, Travelport is looking for teams that have a passionate founders, makers with know-how, and an idea that targets a monetizable problem with a significant market size.
It's not really about how well a startup idea lines up with Travelport's strategy that makes it appealing to the accelerator's leadership. Travelport is more interested in if it feels it itself has the relevant expertise to help the founders achieve product-market fit quickly. Says Bobbin:
"Travelport's primarily aim isn't directly monetizing what it's doing with these startups. Yes, we have an 8% equity share as strategic investment, but that will be quickly diluted once these teams actually raise…. What our involvement is about is to have skin in the game, to help grow the industry, and to improve travel for the entire ecosystem…."

Quality House Music From Seattle, WA USA Founded in early 1998, the goal was to consistently put out records that would be loved and played by many in the house music community. Viva Recordings found success with its first debut from Johnny Fiasco and the with Rick Preston's Altruism EP, which gained notoriety when "Spring Fling" was featured on Mark Farina's San Francisco Sessions Vol.1. From these early releases the road was paved for Viva Recordings' success. Over the last few years we have been working on personal projects but now have decided to bring the label back and take the Viva name back. If you feel your music fits in the scope of our label please send demos to our A&R/Label Manager Chad Neiro at his email.

New Immunotherapy for Deadly Childhood Brain Cancer Targets Novel "Neoantigen"
Related Science News
Children with an extremely deadly form of brain cancer might benefit from a new treatment that aims to direct an immune response against a mutant form of a protein found exclusively on cancer cells, according to a new study led by UC San Francisco researchers.
The focus of the study, published online December 4, 2017 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, is diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), an aggressive pediatric brain cancer. DIPG is rare — estimates suggest that about 300 new cases occur in the United States each year — but almost always fatal.
Because DIPG occurs in a difficult-to-access area of the brain stem that controls vital functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate, these tumors are almost impossible to remove surgically. Radiation therapy is the current standard treatment, but is rarely effective for long, according to Hideho Okada, MD, PhD, professor of neurological surgery and director of the Brain Tumor Immunotherapy Center at UCSF, and the senior author of the study.
"It is important to develop more innovative treatment approaches for childhood brain cancers, which now are the leading cause of cancer death in children. DIPG is a very deadly type of brain cancer, and not many children survive beyond 12 months from the time of diagnosis." said Okada, also a member of the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCC) at UCSF and of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
Okada, along with Sabine Mueller, MD, PhD, MAS, an assistant professor of clinical neurology at UCSF and a HDFCCC member, already are leading a phase I clinical trial in children with DIPG and closely related gliomas, in order to evaluate a new anti-tumor vaccine based on the new target identified by Okada's research group.
The new study's preclinical results also support the development of an immunotherapy treatment that is potentially more powerful than a simple vaccine, one in which some of the patient's own immune cells would be genetically engineered to recognize the molecular target, which is found on tumor cells in most cases of DIPG and related gliomas, but not on normal cells.
The immune system needs a boost to fight established tumors. Normally it can distinguish a healthy cell from a cell infected by invading pathogens by inspecting bits of molecules, called antigens, which cells display on their outer surface. Very early in life the immune system learns to tolerate rather than to attack cells displaying antigens made by the body's own cells. Because tumors arise from our own cells, the immune system is likely to tolerate rather than attack the cells of an established tumor.
The target of the new DIPG treatment is a "neoantigen." A neoantigen is a fragment of a protein made by a cancer cell that has an abnormal structure — and often an abnormal function — due to genetic mutation, a hallmark of cancer. Researchers are developing techniques to select neoantigens that they think will be the most likely to be seen and identified as foreign by the immune system, and they aim to develop immunotherapies to boost immune responses to tumor cells displaying these neoantigens.
Tumors often have a large variety of mutated proteins, but many of these proteins are too similar to normal antigens for the immune system to recognize them as a threat. Even if the immune system can be coaxed to attack cells displaying a fragment of these mutant proteins, it might also learn to attack healthy cells displaying the protein's normal counterpart. In fact, autoimmunity is a risk for many patients given current immunotherapies, such as "checkpoint inhibitors," which release the brakes that prevent the immune system from attacking tumor cells.
The hope is that well-chosen neoantigens can be used to develop treatments that will more selectively and potently target tumors. Neoantigen-based treatments are still experimental, but many are in clinical trials.
The neoantigen Okada and colleagues worked with is a fragment of a protein called histone 3 variant 3. This protein is identically mutated in about 70 percent of cases of DIPG and results in abnormal control of gene activity in tumor cells. Earlier studies by other researchers found that when the mutation is present, it is present in all, or nearly all cells of the tumor.
"This may be an ideal case of a tumor neoantigen," Okada, said. "Most neoantigens in cancer are unique to individual patients, but this is one of very, very few examples of a shared, common neoantigen that may have the potential to be used in many patients."
The researchers used some of the latest computational techniques to predict that a specific fragment of the protein that includes the neoantigen would bind especially strongly to a protein called HLA A, which displays antigens for inspection by patrolling immune cells called T cells. The strength of this attachment ought to correspond to the likelihood that a neoantigen will be recognized as a threat by the immune system.
In laboratory experiments the researchers confirmed this prediction. They found a strong affinity between the tumor neoantigen and a type of HLA A found in about 40 percent of DIPG patients. In contrast, they found no corresponding affinity between this HLA A type and non-mutated antigens from related proteins produced by healthy cells, suggesting that treatments based on this neoantigen should be specific to tumor cells only.
The goal of the neoantigen-containing vaccine now being tested in Okada and Mueller's clinical trial is to train the immune system's T cells to recognize the neoantigen in the vaccine, which should then trigger an immune response to tumor cells in the brain that display the same neoantigen, Okada said.
The new paper also demonstrates a promising, even more powerful form of treatment based on directly engineering patients' T cells to recognize the target neoantigen. Every T cell has a particular type of T cell receptor protein that can recognize a single antigen paired with an HLA protein. The scientists used T cells from patients with the HLA A type that bound tightly to the novel DIPG neoantigen to identify naturally arising T cell receptors that recognize the combination. They selected the best T cell receptor, cloned it into other T cells, and grew large numbers of these cells in the lab. They then demonstrated that these lab-grown T cells could effectively kill human glioma tumors grown in mice.
"We saw a significant reduction in tumor progression compared to control groups," said tumor immunologist Zinal Chheda, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow with Okada's lab and the co-lead author of the study. "The T cell receptor we selected for cloning has an affinity for the neoantigen that is in the range of what we see for antigens from viruses — orders of magnitude greater than what we generally see with neoantigens found on cancer cells."

But I'm going to show it off anyway.
My friend Adelaide knit these gorgeous legwarmers for Willow, and they look stunning and stylish and make me wish I could pull them off like she can.
Look at her. She even knows she's stylin'. My too-short red velour pants in the corner there (covered with drool and possibly leaked poop as well) are one of the three pairs of pants I wear in rotation every day. I am far more interested in dressing Willow than I am in dressing myself.
Today I almost went so far as to brush my hair, but I decided against it. I will consider going to brush my teeth, though.
Adorable. I've just started seeing those little legwarmers everywhere. Such a clever and stylish little idea.
you're right! She knows she's stylin'!!!
These little legwarmers are just too cute!
Is that one happy, adored kid or what? What a great pic.
I've been looking all over for a legwarmer pattern like that, I don't suppose your friend would be willing to share?

Guide to Sustainability Certifications
A plethora of sustainability certifications is now available for organisations to show independent verification of their commitment to sustainability. But which to choose? Read on to find out about our Guide to Sustainability Certifications.
In recent years there has been an explosion in sustainability certifications as producers clamour to wave their sustainability credentials. While third party verification can often be helpful for businesses and consumers, the sheer number of certifications means it can be hard to distinguish between them. Which are the most rigorous and which are simply a rubber stamp?
We've put together a guide to the leading sustainability certifications available in New Zealand.
Factors to consider when selecting a sustainability certification:
Which certifications are the most widely recognised in your industry?
Which are the most important certifications included in corporate or council procurement policies?
How much does it cost to achieve certification, in both time and finances? Is this good value for your business?
SBN is currently researching sustainable procurement, working with corporates and councils to find out which certifications are most commonly used. We will be producing a guide to sustainable procurement. If you're interested in being involved please contact us.

In the decision handed down on March 22, 2017, Justice Thomas, writing for the majority, ruled that the decorative elements on the cheerleading uniforms (shown below) met the threshold requirement of being a "pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work" that can be granted a copyright if the copyrightable elements are sufficiently original and meet other requirements of the Copyright Act. Slip Op. at 10-11.
The Copyright Act does not protect works that are purely "utilitarian," nominally the domain of utility patents. However, when a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work contains both artistic and utilitarian aspects, copyright protection can exist if the artistic aspects are "conceptually separable" from the utilitarian aspects.
(2) would the feature qualify as a protectable pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work—either on its own or fixed in some other tangible medium of expression—if it were imagined separately from the useful article into which it is incorporated.
As to the first part of the test of "separate identification," the Court indicated that this evaluation is "not onerous." Justice Thomas said that "[t]he decisionmaker need only be able to look at the useful article and spot some two- or three-dimensional element that appears to have pictorial, graphic, or sculptural qualities." Slip Op. at 7.
The second "independent existence" part of the test requires a more arduous analysis. In discussing the parameters of this part of the test, the Court reviewed its seminal case on the issue, Mazer v. Stein, 347 U. S. 201 (1954), which held the lamp base (shown to the left) could have been protected by copyright as a stand-alone article despite the fact that it was first created as part of a useful article. Slip Op. at 9.
In examining the cheerleading uniforms, the Court imagined the decorative elements as two-dimensional works of art, namely, mere surface decorations which could be extracted from the useful article of clothing on which they were printed. The fact that the two-dimensional decorative elements of the cheerleading uniforms retained the outline of the cheerleading uniform did not bar copyright protection. Justice Thomas analogized to a guitar with its surface painted, where the two-dimensional painting on the guitar can be "imaginatively removed" from the guitar, while still retaining the guitar shape. Slip. Op. at 11.
The Court concluded that the decorative elements of cheerleading uniform designs were artistic works expressed on a medium of uniform fabric, and, thus, could be protected by copyright. Slip Op. at 12. This, of course, does not answer the question of whether these particular designs pass the "originality" test for copyrightability. That issue is yet to be decided by the lower courts.
Justice Breyer in dissent noted the many times Congress declined to extend broad copyright protection to the fashion design industry. Slip Op., Breyer, J., dissenting at 8. Fashion designers already had multiple tools for protection of their intellectual property at their disposal, including design patents, trademark protection, and copyrights for original textile designs place on a bolt of cloth. Slip Op., Breyer, J., dissenting at 9.
The fashion design industry should be encouraged by the Supreme Court's decision that could extend copyright protections much further than previously allowed. However, as the Court emphasized, this case only examined the threshold question of whether these uniforms could fall within one of the categories of works that could be protected by copyright. The "originality" of a fashion design seeking copyright protection will certainly be an issue. Moreover, copyright protection for fashion design may bring a double-edged sword: while fashion designers may be inspired by current and past creations, they will need to be careful to avoid creating derivative works that infringe other designers' copyright protection. Since copyright protection has a very long life, the unintended fallout is not insignificant.

As the Great Recession continues to fade and recovery happens all-so-slowly, we have less money in our pockets to spend. Those of us who still have credit cards are wisely refraining from using them. Those of us just spending cash are learning to budget anew.
That means less "disposable income" to use for such things as the Taste of Chicago. More of us stayed home or celebrated elsewhere this year, compared to years past.
From the Sun-Times:
The 2010 Taste of Chicago drew 2.65 million people, about 700,000 fewer than the 3.35 million who attended the summer chow-fest in 2009.
The 21 percent attendance drop was mainly because the city canceled the July 3 Grant Park fireworks, an event that would bring more than 1 million downtown and through the Taste booths on that day alone, said Cindy Gatziolis of the Mayor's Office of Special Events.
"People were coming in droves," Gatziolis said of the July 3 fireworks, which were canceled this year after 35 years in favor of three July 4 shows spread out along the lakefront. "They were filling up every available space."
The July 3 fireworks annually brought numbers that one of the Taste's most attended musical acts, the 2008 Stevie Wonder show, couldn't rival. Gatziolis said 350,000 people attended the Taste the day of Wonder's concert.
And there was the crime. As of Sunday, 55 people had been arrested at the Taste as of Saturday night, and nine of those were charged with felonies, the Sun-Times reports.

In development and programming language, we can see Self-Hosting and Recursive Acronym, those are both quite interesting definition which I would like to share with you.
We use Self-Hosting to describe a program, which is a tool used to create new version of itself. For example, we can use a programming language to create a compiler for it. Then we have self-hosting. Self-Hosting softwares includes operating system kernels, assemblers, shell and version control systems.
First self-hosting ever compiler was writen in Lisp, used to interpret Lisp language, compile Lisp source and test Lisp program.
The golden rule is: developer will improve the compiler until it can compile itself source. Then we will have a self-hosting compiler. At the first time, developer will use other languages to do this job, or use a special technique called bootstrapping.
Today we have many languages which own their own self-hosting compiler: Ada, BASIC, C, C++, C#, CoffeeScript, F#, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Pascal, Python, Scala, Smalltalk or even Visual Basic.
There are rumours about big IDE like Visual Studio, they should able to compile itself.

Sunset – MY THIRD EYE…!
These fiery sunset moments were captured from the backyard beach of Hotel Palm Village in Colombo.
The scene was an enticing one with rich golden tones, a serene beach and soothing breeze.
The place reminded of any beach of Kerala!
Sundown as viewed from Diablo Mountain (California) viewpoint was enchanting.
Though the evening was a bit hazy with mist, I could get lovely view of the magnificent moment!!
These pictures were captured with P & S cam sometime back.
These shots were taken at the Point Reyes National Park, California. Very cool evening breeze making it so very enjoyable .
A clear sky made it possible to capture the dipping orange ball, till it disappeared into the vast expanse of the ocean, leaving an etherial afterglow!
These sunset scenes were shot a few years back, when still getting the hang of photography and handling only a P & S Cam. Nevertheless I love these pictures of Golden hour!
Sunset scenes captured from the backyard beach of Taprospa Footprints, Beruwela, Sri Lanka.
Being cloudy, couldn't get the orange ball dipping in the sea.
Sun sets over River Periyar (Aluvapuzha)…. very romantic sunset indeed!
These are the sunset scenes at Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco.
Generally it is difficult to get a clear view as Golden gate bridge is always covered in fog. The shots are taken from Berkeley Marina. Third picture shows Golden Gate Bridge.
The sunset seen at Kempegowda International Airport, Bangalore.
And it was Heavenly… up there in the sky! The afterglow was enchanting and then the sky changed colours. Witnessed the 'time' flying into golden hour, blue hour and finally settling for dark blue!
The shots may have some disturbance as they are taken through the glass pane.
These shots were taken after a rain. Sun came out of the clutches of clouds briefly, bringing people out on the beach.
After a brief spell of heavenly display, clouds devoured the sun again, along with rain that dispersed the crowds!
These sundown moments were captured at Santa Cruz, West Cliff Drive, Natural Bridges State Beach, California.
The only grievance…. I couldn't get the view through the natural bridge arches.


Bridge saddles cut too deep? Upgrade?
Discussion in 'Guitars in General' started by JDaniels, Apr 19, 2016.
Just got myself a 2013 Les Paul Traditional and it's a great guitar in every way however I thought it was lacking a bit of sustain and upon closer look it appears the bridge saddles are cut too deep. I did a little researching and it seems that ideally you want only half of the string below the top of the saddle. My wound strings definitely have more than half below the top of the saddle and the unwound strings look to be inside the saddles.
Would new saddles cut right give me a little more sustain, or should I take this opportunity to upgrade the bridge in its entirety? Of I upgraded the bridge what brand should I go with? I like the idea of the Callaham bridge but I really don't want to pay 200 bucks to get it to Canada, or is that what a good bridge is going to set me back? What are your thoughts fellas?
Start easy. New saddles, properly grooved. I like the Stew Mac saddles I bought, chrome or nickel plated brass.
If you start changing components as big as the bridge, you will experience changes in tone, and hence, the character of the guitar. Are you willing to experiment?
I installed a Steel Callaham bridge on a semi-hollow guitar, and the tone became very bright, losing the character of the semi-hollow body. No way I was going to keep that. I sold it to a buddy who installed it on a '59 Historic Les Paul, and it improved that guitar, markedly.
You don't always know what will happen when swapping parts!
You may not need new saddles. If all of the strings are the proper height above the fingerboard, you can file down the tops of the saddles to expose more string. You don't need the depth to be as deep as half the string. It will be fine with a notch. Just enough so the string doesn't slide around. When done with the filing, you can reshape the angled side of the saddle so the peak of the saddle comes almost to a point (but still rounded on top). Take a look at new saddles to see what the shape should look like.
Thanks fellas, did not know I could sand metal saddles! I've been known to do some recreational woodworking so I have that technology. Might try that first, or just get some notched saddles. Thanks fellas.

H-Diplo | RJISSF Review Essay 66 Brew on Thompson, Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century
January 12, 2023 January 9, 2023 By Gregory Brew
The first twenty years of the twenty-first century have witnessed a seemingly never-ending sequence of global calamities. From 9/11 and the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 and Great Recession, the Arab Spring, the Syrian civil war, Brexit, the 2016 election of Donald Trump, and the 2020 COVID…


Move over King Cakes, hello French baguettes!
Lowder Baking Company reopens with focus on pastries and desserts, after a popular Mardi Gras season selling Lowder King Cakes.
In January, Sarah and Preston Lowder opened Lowder Baking Company at 4019 Fern Ave., Suite 500 in South Highlands.
From opening day until Fat Tuesday, March 5, the bakery exclusively sold their signature line of King Cakes and Mardi Gras-inspired baked goods.
"We started with King Cakes. We felt like we had such a good product and knew it was going to be successful, but it was over and beyond what we expected," Sarah Lowder said.
Although Mardi Gras has come and gone, the husband-wife baking duo has just begun to showcase what they can do with a bit of flour and elbow grease.
On Friday, the bakery reopened after its brief hiatus with a new menu of assorted bread, pastries, and cookies, available throughout the year.
In the first weeks of the reopening, the Lowders will start off with a limited variety and use the time to evaluate guests' requests to determine how to further expand the menu with more creative and diverse offerings.
One thing that's certain, the products will continue to be made from scratch and baked fresh daily. The Lowders created a set schedule to ensure guests know when to get the straight-out-the-oven goodness.
At 7:30 a.m., the Lowders will unload oven racks of classic croissants, pain au chocolat, and the pastry of the day.
At 10:30 a.m., out comes the baguettes and daily pan bread and rustic boule for the mid-morning menu.
The current rotating menu features items such as cream cheese Danishes, fruit and cream cheese Danishes, almond croissants, savory croissants, and the signature rainbow sprinkle chocolate chip cookies.
Pain au Chocolat – or chocolate croissant – is Sarah Lowders' favorite, as well as the couples' two children.
French bread and baguettes are expected to be popular. It's already won Preston Lowder over.
Also on the menu are country white, multigrain and honey whole wheat breads– made with the locally-made Hummers & Sons honey.
Available products will be regularly updated on the company's website and Facebook page.
"There (are) very few places to get freshly baked bread in Shreveport... in Northwest Louisiana, in general. We're hoping to use as many local ingredients as we can," Sarah Lowder said.
Taste testers in the days leading up to the grand reopening have noticed the difference between store bought bread versus the taste of bread made from scratch on the same day, she said. It's largely credited to the ingredients and techniques used by the bakers.
They invest in higher quality flour and filter water eight times before used for the from-scratch recipe and there are no added preservatives or conditioners in the bread, Preston Lowder said.
Breads are available for retail purchase with plans for commercial debut in local restaurants. It's yet another step for Lowder Baking Company to become deeper ingrained in the community they've called home all of their lives.
In the few months of operating in their brick and mortar home, the entrepreneurs have felt the overwhelming support from the public.

Q: Execution timeout strategy for a Java method I have a system which services a large amount of transactions.
The timeout strategy applies for only a part of a transaction.
A complete transaction here consists of some execution workflow, pre-processing, a remote call, post-processing etc..
For example,

// some code
// START TIMER
try
  {

CallInput remoteInput = fInputProcessor.transform(callContext);
CallOutput remoteOutput = fRemoteInvoker.invoke(remoteInput);
TransactionOutput  output = fOutputProcessor.transform(remoteOutput);

}
catch(TimeoutException ex)
  {
}
// some code

Say the timeout is for 500ms. It may occur during the Input processing, the remote call or the output processing.
Can you list some possible ways of generating the Timeout after 500ms? Assume I cannot split the 3 blocks into a new thread.

A: Consider using java.util.concurrent.Future.get(long, TimeUnit).
Runnable yourTask = <wrap your work code in a Runnable>;
Future future = threadpool.submit(yourTask);
try {
    Object result = future.get(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
} catch (Exception e) {
    <handle exception, e.g. TimeoutException>
} finally {
    <your closing code>
}

Here is an example to create/destroy a threadpool :
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

private ExecutorService threadpool;

public void start() {
    threadpool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
}

public void stop() throws InterruptedException {
    threadpool.shutdown();
    if (false == threadpool.awaitTermination(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
        threadpool.shutdownNow();
}

A: You can use Guava and use this such code:
TimeLimiter limiter = new SimpleTimeLimiter();
limiter.callWithTimeout(new Callable<Void>() {
    public Void call() {
          CallInput remoteInput = fInputProcessor.transform(callContext);
          CallOutput remoteOutput = fRemoteInvoker.invoke(remoteInput);
          TransactionOutput output = fOutputProcessor.transform(remoteOutput);
    }
  }, 500, TimeUnit.MILISECONDS, false);

A: DelayQueues (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/DelayQueue.html) are also useful. You add elements to the queue that implements the Delayed interface, which is used to define the expiration for the Delayed object. Then you can poll the queue for elements that have expired and do something with them
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
     doSomethingWithExpiredObj();
}

Art in Europe, English
1903 : Here lies in peace Ver Sacrum
The Viennese Secession soon had its own statutes but more importantly a mouth piece with the official magazine of the Vienna Secession Ver Sacrum (Latin for "sacred spring"), which was published from 1898 to 1903. It took its name possibly from either one of these two sources: Some art historians think that it was inspired by an old Roman ritual, dedicated to their gods, meant to celebrate the foundation of a new township while others assume that the name was borrowed from Ludwig Uhland's poem Der Weihefrühling (The Sacred Spring). Artists from the Secession contributed to the magazine along with popular local writers and other foreign artists.
The magazine, under the directorship of Wilhelm List, had a print run of five years (1898-1903) and had a limited publication of 300 copies per issue. In the first two years the magazine was published monthly, then bimonthly in 1901. One of the most prolific contributors was Klimt, who regularly wrote articles for Ver Sacrum. The publication was highly regarded – from a literary and artistic point of view – and had a high influence on Austrian and foreign artists.
Hermann Bahr penned the most important principle of the Secession: "We want art that is not a slave to foreign influences but at the same time is neither afraid nor hateful of them."
Koloman Moser, Poster design for the "First Grand Art Exhibition" of the Viennese Secession, 1897.
Watercolour, gouache, coloured pencil, metal colour on tracing linen, 78.5 x 60.5 cm.
Leopold Museum , Vienna.
Despite all the praise there were also problems with the magazine. One of the issues was confiscated by a district attorney because it "abrasively violated the sense of shame with its depiction of nudity and thus created public outrage". Klimt responded to these charges that he did not want to deal with boorish people and that it was more important to him that there were people who liked the drawing. He was referring to his private patronage, his clients from the ranks of the Viennese upper class.
In the course of five years 70 issues were published, which had a purely didactic role and were often dedicated to one specific topic per issue. For example, one special issue was dedicated to Jan Toorop, whose symbolic picture language was a great influence on Klimt. Another complete issue was dedicated to Khnopff-reproductions while the November issue of 1899 was an essay written by Belgian poet Emile Verhaeren about the oeuvre of the Flemish painter Theo van Rysselberghe.
Ver Sacrum propagated the idea of holistic art, which stated that all art needs to form a synthesis and can thus be appreciated by everyone: the poor and the rich, the powerful and the powerless. The content varied between essays about art theory and practical, visual examples. Often the issues contained original prints. The magazine appeared roughly at the same time as another important magazine that was published beyond the Alps, in Munich, and was called Die Jugend (The Youth). The Munich magazine marked the beginning of the local Jugendstil-movement and was essentially the inspiration for their name. In 1903, Ver Sacrum and discontinued due to a lack of subscribers.

Norway police chief seeks local-access TV show
By Matthew Daigle, Staff Writer
NORWAY — Police Chief Rob Federico said that the Norway Police Department is working on launching a Q&A program on the local access channel, where he and a guest will answer questions from residents about law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
Federico said that the program, called "Chats with the Chief," is "something I've really wanted to do for a while now."
"Whether it's at Hannaford when I'm grocery shopping or at a gas station, people come up to me and ask me questions about my job," Federico said. "My idea was to take questions from the public and then sit down with a guest and answer the questions."
He described it as a "Johnny Carson type of thing," with a "backdrop, a couple of chairs, a fireplace," and that each episode would last "around 15 minutes or so."
"We may get a question that asks why we need inspection stickers, or about rumors that people will get a speeding ticket for going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, but not five," Federico said. "The plan is to answer questions about certain types of scenarios."
While there is no set date for the program to start, Federico said that the Norway Police Department Facebook page has made posts asking residents to send questions they have pertaining to the criminal justice system, or suggestions for people to come on the program as guests.
"For example, we could maybe have a district attorney or a judge to come on and help answer questions and talk about the criminal justice system," Federico said.
The department's Facebook page posted recently that residents have already sent messages suggesting elder abuse, fraud and opioid addiction as potential topics for discussion on the program.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be just law enforcement questions," Federico said.
Federico added that residents are still welcome to submit their questions and suggestions for discussion topics or people and organizations they want to know more about on the department's Facebook page.
"We don't have a plan to start yet, but we'll still take questions and suggestions," he said.
