Intro Corporation this week regained FAA AC 00-56A Accreditation from the Aviation Suppliers Association. Intro had initially earned the accreditation in 1999 and was unaware that there was a 3 year expiration provision and that the new accreditation rules were now tied to ASA 100 or ISO 9001. "FAA AC 00-56A lists ASA-100 as an acceptable quality system standard. Only ASA can accredit a company to ASA-100. ISO 9001 is also listed as an acceptable quality system standard."

Q: How to handle cors for web flutter I have been struggle to fix the cors problem in my PWA project of flutter and I am following this

how to solve flutter CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error while performing a POST request?.

I am using universal_io package since dart.io can not be used for web...here is the part of the code
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
      client.badCertificateCallback =
          ((X509Certificate cert, String host, int port) => true);
      String url = 'https:xxxx.php';
      Map map = {
        "a": "a",
        "b": "b"
      };
      HttpClientRequest request = await client.postUrl(Uri.parse(url));
      request.headers.set('content-type', 'application/json');
      request.add(utf8.encode(json.encode(map)));
      if (request is BrowserHttpClientRequest) {
        request.credentialsMode = BrowserHttpClientCredentialsMode.include;
      }
      HttpClientResponse response = await request.close();
      print(response.toString());
      String reply = await response.transform(utf8.decoder).join();
      print(reply);

but I get the error that say like this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BrowserHttpClient received an error from XMLHttpRequest (which doesn't tell
reason for the error).
HTTP method:        POST
URL:                https://www.rscm.co.id/apirscm/v2.php
Origin:             http://localhost:64121
Cross-origin request!
XmlHttpRequest 'credentials mode' is enabled.
Did the server send the following mandatory headers?
  * Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
  * Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:64121
    * In credentials mode, '*' would fail!
  * Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST

is there a way to solve this problem?

A: You can you local host server in the debug mode of chrome, here is how:
open this in terminal.
open -n -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --user-data-dir="/Users/i0868/Desktop/Chrome" --disable-web-security

A: you can do something like thisto enable credentials mode:
final httpClientRequest = MyHttpClientRequest;
if (httpClientRequest is BrowserHttpClientRequest) {
  httpClientRequest.credentialsMode = BrowserHttpClientCredentialsMode.include;
}

But prefer using this librairy universal_io instead of dart.io

Scottish Tree Of The Year
Players support search for Scotland's best loved trees
The search for Scotland's best loved tree has started. Scottish Tree of the Year is a new competition organised by the Woodland Trust Scotland and supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery that aims to find the nation's best loved trees. It is part of the European Tree of the Year contest.
The competition is open to any living tree in Scotland that has a great story to tell and anybody can enter. An independent panel of judges will shortlist six trees based on their story and a public vote in September will decide the winner. To enter, fill out an application form (pdf, 237KB) by 9th May.
Andrew Fairbairn, Policy and Communications Manager at Woodland Trust Scotland, said, "Virtually every community has at least one tree that stands out from the rest and has an amazing story to tell. It could be a tree that's associated with a famous person or a battle, or one that the local people have rallied around to save it from being felled.
"By celebrating what trees mean to people and the stories that they have to tell we can help to raise awareness of the need to protect them. We're delighted that players of People's Postcode Lottery are supporting the competition to find the best loved trees in Scotland."
Comedian and broadcaster Fred MacAulay is supporting the search. He said, "Tree of the Year is a fantastic way to celebrate our natural heritage. We're inviting people to tell us about the trees that are most important to them and become champions for them.
"Scotland is blessed with thousands of amazing trees. Whether it's in the middle of a wood, halfway up a mountain or in the heart of a city, if it's a tree that people love and tell stories about then we want to hear about it."
The winner of the competition will go on to be Scotland's entry in the European Tree of the Year competition in 2015.
The Woodland Trust Scotland is part of the UK's leading charity championing native woods and trees. The Trust aims to plant native trees and woods to create resilient landscapes for people and wildlife, to protect ancient woodland which is rare, unique and irreplaceable and to restore damaged ancient woodland, allowing native flora and fauna to return.
Established in 1972, the Woodland Trust now has over 1,000 sites in its care covering approximately 20,000 hectares. In 1984, the Trust acquired its first wood in Scotland. Today the Trust owns 80 sites across Scotland covering 8,750 hectares and has more than 400,000 supporters. To date, players of People's Postcode Lottery have awarded this fantastic charity with £566,552 funding.

Black Caps arrive in Dubai abandoning Pakistan tour
AFP 20 Sep, 2021
DUBAI: The New Zealand cricket team arrived in Dubai early Sunday after fleeing Pakistan but officials refused to give details of the security threat that forced them to abruptly cancel their tour.
While some information had been shared with the Pakistan Cricket Board, "specific details could not, and will not, be disclosed - privately or publicly", New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said.
Upcoming scheduled tours by England, Australia and the West Indies are now in jeopardy.
"The BLACKCAPS have arrived in Dubai after leaving Islamabad on a charter flight last night," New Zealand Cricket said in a statement. "The contingent of 34 players and support staff are now settling into their Dubai hotel and undergoing their 24-hour period of self-isolation."
White said he appreciated what a "terribly difficult time" it was for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), but added New Zealand had no choice but to abandon their visit.
"What I can say is that we were advised this was a specific and credible threat against the team," White said. "We had several conversations with New Zealand government officials before making the decision and it was after informing the PCB of our position that we understand a telephone discussion was conducted between the respective Prime Ministers.
"Unfortunately, given the advice we'd received, there was no way we could stay in the country."
White said New Zealand remained comfortable with its initial decision to tour Pakistan, based on comprehensive assessments of the security situation, and the risk-mitigation measures promised.
"Everything changed on Friday," he said.
"The advice changed, the threat level changed and, as a consequence, we took the only responsible course of action possible."
The New Zealand players and staff were taken in bullet-proof buses from their Islamabad hotel to the airport where they boarded the charter flight to Dubai.
Players not involved in next month's Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates will return to New Zealand as soon as flights and quarantine facilities can be arranged.

A rich agenda for transport in 2016
How better to start a year full of transport policy initiatives than with some Dutch pragmatism? Transport is a practical sector itself as it inevitably links to one of the most basic needs of the economy: moving goods and people. 2016 looks to be an important year for transport and we have two keywords: competitiveness and sustainability.
In certain people's eyes, the focus on these two main driving forces, competitiveness and sustainability, risks creating a significant dilemma: Should the EU try to boost competitiveness through a modern, innovative transport system or push for sustainability through unprecedented environmental policies and ambitious targets?
The Commission has to a large extent addressed the dilemma by betting on the leadership of Europe in the fight against climate change and the fact that the rest of the World will eventually follow, ultimately providing a competitive advantage for Europe. While this has not always proven to be true in the past, the agreement reached at the last UN Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP21) may mean a step towards Europe's ambitions with countries like the U.S. and China, which have insofar played the 'competitiveness first' card, committing to global environmental objectives.
What can we expect in the next months to reconcile these contradictory forces?
The Netherlands EU Presidency kicks-off with a high-level conference at Schiphol airport today on the just-released EU Aviation Strategy. Coincidentally, Schiphol airport is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year …
Discussions on aviation have so far focused on alleged unfair competition from the non-EU airlines Beyond this populist debate, which seems to ignore what's really needed in the European aviation sector, a serious rethink of the management of Europe's strategic airports, a final solution for the capacity crunch and the completion of the Single European Sky are all long overdue.
The Commission is also looking at the competitiveness of the road transport sector and, despite the fact that the three initiatives on the social dimensions of transport, cabotage and road charging will not be grouped into a single legislative package, the Commission is addressing them simultaneously.
Several other initiatives are expected in the first half of the year including the mid-term review of the White Paper on transport, which touches on the competitiveness and also sustainability of the EU transport system. No major changes are expected in terms of long term objectives, but more emphasis will be put on the means to achieve them. The review will also probably sound the death knell of the modal shift approach, adopted in the 2009 White Paper, in favour of the more comprehensive concept of co-modality, which recognizes the need to use all the means of transport and for each one to achieve its best and most sustainable performances.
Talking about sustainability, another Presidency meeting will follow in April, to discuss smart and green mobility. No surprise, this meeting will touch on cycling as well as other types of active mobility. The Dutch aim to adopt the 'Amsterdam Chapter' on green and smart mobility, as mentioned by the Minister during the last Environmental Council of 2015. The Informal Transport Council will then follow in June, at the end of the Presidency.
Decarbonising transport is an important part of the Energy Union strategy, and a Communication is expected in the second half of the year. The Communication should be preceded by a new proposal for the continuation of the Effort Sharing Decision post-2020, which currently sets binding national targets for GHG emissions coming from agriculture, building, waste and indeed transport (excluding aviation and international maritime shipping).
More will come our way on CO2 emissions targets for both Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) and Light-Duty Vehicles (LDVs), such as cars and vans. The Commission started tackling HDVs emissions for the first time two years ago and is working on a new instrument which will help the monitoring process and hopefully lead to more informed choices from operators. On the LDVs side, post-2020 CO2 targets will have to be discussed after the modalities to achieve the current ones where agreed only in 2014. This debate has started prematurely due to the 'dieselgate' scandal which opened a Pandora's box for emissions measurements performed by carmakers and authorised by national authorities. Some countries are undertaking initiatives to move away from diesel but will the scandal be the trigger for revamping the debate on energy taxation and the removal of the taxation advantage towards diesel in Europe?
Whilst everyone in Brussels is busy trying to minimize the negative spill-over effects of 'dieselgate' and to re-establish consumers' trust in the automotive sector, DG CLIMA has gone through a major internal reorganisation with the 'Transport and Ozone' unit, which to-date dealt with transport emissions, being split into three units to reflect the non-ETS sectors (buildings, agriculture and transport). This means that all those affected by legislation on transport emissions may wish to get acquainted with the new "Mr Transport Emissions" in DG CLIMA.

Q: Restrict users from editing post based on the age of the post How can I restrict users (based on Capabilities) from editing their published posts after a custom amount of time.
For instance, a user that can publish_posts (authors) can not edit a their post if it is older than 3 days, and a user that can moderate_comments (editors) can not edit any posts that are older than 20 days. Obviously, admins can edit anytime.
How is such thing possible?

A: I took the example code from the Wordpress user_has_cap filter codex page and modified it.  Add this code to your theme functions.php:
function restrict_editing_old_posts( $allcaps, $cap, $args ) {

// Bail out if we're not asking to edit or delete a post ...
if( ( 'edit_post' != $args[0] && 'delete_post' != $args[0] )

Imported by Dr. Anthony Stachowski from the Macusani - Rural Alianza region of Peru.
Magi's sire was 5Peruvian Camelot, a rare red-brown elite stud that Anthony hand-picked to import at 3 years old from the Macusani - Rural Alianza region of Peru. Magi was examined by Anthony as a yearling and his comment was Magi was one of the finest representations of Camelot he had seen to date. Magi has a rich brown blanket that blends into rose gray on his neck.
He was bred to Sweet Petunia of Wonder, a dark charcoal-gray female with Snowmass Midnight Magic as her grand-sire, contributing density, fineness and beautiful staple regrowth to her fleece production. Petunia was sold, and gave birth on another farm to a vigorous, healthy black male sired by Magi on May 19, 2017. In 2018 we Petunia and her yearling were returned to our farm, we named him Tealwater's Jemini.

It is no exaggeration to say that Acts 15 is the most crucial chapter in the whole book.
Some time later some men from Judea came to Antioch and began teaching that circumcision was a requirement for following Jesus. Paul and Barnabas, who were still in Antioch, heard about this and confronted them. After what had taken place in Galatia, it's easy to believe that Paul was fired up. The church in Antioch appointed Paul and Barnabas, along with a few others, to go to Jerusalem to get some answers. This was beginning to become a huge issue, and the leadership needed to address it.
When they arrived in Jerusalem (250 miles from Antioch), they shared how God had brought salvation to many Gentiles throughout Galatia. Immediately a group of believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and declared that these Gentile believers would have to be circumcised.
Peter stood. He reminded them of what God had done at Cornelius' home, how He made no distinction between Jews and Gentiles, and how the grace of God was available to anyone who believed. He said that requiring anything more than faith was like putting a yoke around their necks. Luke says that the entire assembly fell silent.
Next Barnabas and Paul (notice how Luke reverses the order once again) spoke up, relating all that God had done throughout Galatia.
Finally, James stood and pronounced judgment on the matter. (We learn through this chapter that James had at some point over the past twenty years become the primary leader of the church). The decision was that Gentiles should not have to be circumcised (follow the law of Moses) in order to become a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus was difficult enough. No other burdens would be placed on them.
James did give the Gentile believers a few requirements.
At least a couple of these requirements sound rather strange to modern readers, but James' judgment would have been clear to the readers of the document. He was telling Gentile believers that they must stay away from pagan temples. Paul would later echo this warning (1 Corinthians 8,10). James said that though they did not have to be converted to Judaism, it was mandatory that they make a complete break with paganism.
I find it fascinating that in a letter this important, the leaders used the phrase, "it seemed good" three times. The first instance is verse 22, where "it seemed good" to the leaders to send Paul and Barnabas back to Antioch with this pronouncement. The second instance is verse 25, in which they relayed this same information in the body of the letter. The third instance is verse 28, where they say, "it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden" than the requirements listed above.
They never said that this was God's divine Word for the Gentiles. They had no doubt been praying like crazy and having endless discussions. It seemed to them that this was the correct response. Part of me wants a little more definite of an answer, but another part of me loves that they were ok with this.
The letter was received by the church in Antioch with much rejoicing.
Some time later (possibly up to two years later) Paul came to Barnabas and suggested that they return to the churches they had planted to see how things were going. Barnabas thought that was a great idea, but suggested that John Mark go with them. Paul had obviously not gotten over the fact that he had abandoned them a few years earlier. Luke says that they got into such a sharp disagreement (15:39) that they parted company. Barnabas took John Mark and went to Cyprus, while Paul took Silas (who had earlier accompanied them from Jerusalem to Antioch with the letter) and went back to Galatia.
This saddens me. Barnabas was such a great man of God, yet this is the last that we hear of him. He no doubt continued to spread the gospel, but I wonder if he and Paul ever reconciled.

Alain Badiou's "Fifteen Theses on Contemporary Art"
Instead of selectively quoting Alain Badiou, as I had a couple days ago, here is his fifteen theses on art and its relationship to empire. As I wrote a couple days ago, I have deep reservations about the logical leaps he makes, even as I recognize my own longstanding attempts to think about resistance and resistance poetry. There, indeed, is a consonance between his theoretical articulation and what language poets have sought to accomplish...
Alain Badiou -
Fifteen Theses on Contemporary Art
1. Art is not the sublime descent of the infinite into the finite abjection of the body and sexuality. It is the production of an infinite subjective series through the finite means of a material subtraction.
2. Art cannot merely be the expression of a particularity (be it ethnic or personal). Art is the impersonal production of a truth that is addressed to everyone.
3. Art is the process of a truth, and this truth is always the truth of the sensible or sensual, the sensible as sensible. This means: the transformation of the sensible into a happening of the Idea.
4. There is necessarily a plurality of arts, and however we may imagine the ways in which the arts might intersect there is no imaginable way of totalizing this plurality.
5. Every art develops from an impure form, and the progressive purification of this impurity shapes the history both of a particular artistic truth and of its exhaustion.
6. The subject of an artistic truth is the set of the works which compose it.
7. This composition is an infinite configuration, which, in our own contemporary artistic context, is a generic totality.
8. The real of art is ideal impurity conceived through the immanent process of its purification. In other words, the raw material of art is determined by the contingent inception of a form. Art is the secondary formalization of the advent of a hitherto formless form.
9. The only maxim of contemporary art is not to be imperial. This also means: it does not have to be democratic, if democracy implies conformity with the imperial idea of political liberty.
10. Non-imperial art is necessarily abstract art, in this sense: it abstracts itself from all particularity, and formalizes this gesture of abstraction.
11. The abstraction of non-imperial art is not concerned with any particular public or audience. Non-imperial art is related to a kind of aristocratic-proletarian ethic: Alone, it does what it says, without distinguishing between kinds of people.
12. Non-imperial art must be as rigorous as a mathematical demonstration, as surprising as an ambush in the night, and as elevated as a star.
13. Today art can only be made from the starting point of that which, as far as Empire is concerned, doesn't exist. Through its abstraction, art renders this inexistence visible. This is what governs the formal principle of every art : the effort to render visible to everyone that which for Empire (and so by extension for everyone, though from a different point of view), doesn't exist.
14. Since it is sure of its ability to control the entire domain of the visible and the audible via the laws governing commercial circulation and democratic communication, Empire no longer censures anything. All art, and all thought, is ruined when we accept this permission to consume, to communicate and to enjoy. We should become the pitiless censors of ourselves.
15. It is better to do nothing than to contribute to the invention of formal ways of rendering visible that which Empire already recognizes as existent.

Very interesting -- thanks for posting this. I haven't translated Greek in many years ("O Ajax, my master, there is no greater evil for human beings than necessary fate" is a painful reminder of the clunky way I remember doing it), but I always like reading about new approaches to the craft. I'm not sure I like the bald anachronisms (guns/aircraft), but overall I think loosening up the language helps make it readable for modern audiences, which is at least part of the point.
Oh, and:
Hey these wound up on the wrong post. Dang them internets!

Badiou's idea seems to be another example of someone trying to force the aesthetic of mathematics upon the phenomena of art. I see them as two completely different things.
There are many inspiring aspects to Badiou's text, but with respect to his notion of abstraction, I think Swann was closer to the truth in In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower:"What music shows, to me at any rate, is nothing like 'The Will-in-Itself' or 'The Synthesis of the Infinite,' but something like the palm house at the Zoo in the Bois de Boulogne,with old Verdurin in his frock coat."

Date for the Walk In Interview : 22-02-2019.


Exercising when you are in the plus sizes is much like exercising when you aren't. You still need to get your head in the right place, get yourself off the couch and eat the right foods to fuel your new active lifestyle. However, the more you weigh the more pressure there is on your muscles, tendons and other bits so you there are probably a few exercises that are better for you than others (in the beginning) until you have developed some strength. So first things first, make a plan. Think about all the time you have free in the next month and plot your exercise slots in. If you are struggling check out our exercise plan and get some tips. Next what are the best exercises you should do?
Walking: Walking is a great form of exercise and the best thing is you don't need to pay a gym, all you need is some comfortable activewear that wont rub and cause chafing and some supportive sportswear and sport bra and you are good to go. Plus walking you can do with your family, your friends, to and from work and you can save on petrol if you use walking as the way to get to and from the grocery store.
Yoga is quite simply amazing. It's a great way to stretch your muscles and start developing some core strength. Yoga has a zillion benefits from building bone density to strengthening the immune system. Also because yoga is generally done in small classes and most yogi's look to wear comfortable clothing these environments are often less intimidating that going other group fitness classes.
Aqua Jogging – doesn't that sound like fun. The name says it all. Go down to your local beach / community swimming pool and get into the water. Then jog across the water. Water activities are particularly well suited for people who are heavy. But lap swimming takes time. You need to build your fitness and your breath, so aqua jogging is a great way to get the benefits of the buoyancy of water plus the benefits of jogging.
Incidental Exercise: This is the stuff you do at home or during your general life that you can beef up to get some calorie burn. Things like walking up the stairs not taking the lift / escalator. Walking to work, housekeeping, gardening. Think about what you can do at home to increase your heart rate.
Always wear fabulous plus size clothing when working out. Feeling comfortable and confident goes a long way to keep you motivated.

Both human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR)
Both human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR) can handle regulating and gene expression. recommending potential activation of hCAR. Following experiments demonstrated these three medications effectively induced nuclear deposition of in vivo-transfected improved yellowish fluorescent protein-hCAR and considerably increased expression of the CYP2B6 reporter Tyrphostin AG-1478 gene when hCAR was portrayed in CAR?/? mice. Furthermore, using a lately identified, chemically reactive splice variant of hCAR (hCAR3), the hCAR activation information from the 16 substances were examined. By combining outcomes from the hPXR- and hCAR3-structured reporter gene assays, these inducers had been categorized as hPXR, hCAR, or hPXR/hCAR dual activators. Our outcomes demonstrate that CMZ, EFV, and NVP induce CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 preferentially through hCAR which hCAR3 symbolizes a sensitive device for in vitro prediction of chemical-mediated individual CAR activation. CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 are induced on the mRNA, proteins, and activity amounts with the same substances, including rifampin, phenobarbital, clotrimazole, cyclophosphamide, calcium mineral route antagonists, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, and thiazolidinediones (Drocourt et al., 2001; Kocarek et al., 2002; Lindley et al., 2002; Sahi et al., 2003; Faucette et al., 2004). Coinduction of the enzymes can Tyrphostin AG-1478 be mediated through transcriptional activation from the matching genes with the nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), which can handle binding towards the same response components in the promoter parts of the and genes (Goodwin et al., 1999, 2001; Sueyoshi et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2003). Nevertheless, nearly all currently determined CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 inducers are verified activators of hPXR however, not hCAR (Moore et al., 2000, 2002; Faucette et al., 2004). To time, only a restricted number of substances, including CITCO as well as the antiepileptic phenytoin (PHN), have already been shown to stimulate CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 preferentially through hCAR rather than hPXR (Maglich et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2004). Besides TSPAN15 a more substantial and more versatile ligand binding pocket of hPXR weighed against that of hCAR (Watkins et al., 2001; Xu et al., 2004), the recognized predominance of hPXR activators may reflect the simple their identification in accordance with hCAR activators. Solid correlations have already been noticed between skills of substances to activate hPXR in cell-based reporter gene assays and induce CYP2B6 and/or CYP3A4 in individual hepatocytes (Luo et al., 2002; Raucy et al., 2002; Vignati et al., 2004), On the other hand, evaluation of hCAR-mediated induction of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 continues to be difficult because of the lack of a competent in vitro program to display screen for Tyrphostin AG-1478 hCAR-mediated transcription. After transfection into immortalized cell lines, hCAR displays high constitutive activity and spontaneous nuclear localization, as opposed to its predominant cytosolic localization in major hepatocytes and unchanged liver organ (Kawamoto et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2004). Due to issues in evaluation of hCAR activation, the contribution of the receptor to drug-drug connections, in accordance with hPXR, has continued to be ambiguous. Recently, many groups have determined alternative splicing variations of wild-type hCAR with changed useful activity (Auerbach et al., 2003; Arnold et al., 2004; Jinno et al., 2004; Ikeda et al., 2005). Among these variations, hCAR3, exhibited considerably lower basal activity in immortalized cells than wild-type hCAR and was turned on extensively with the known hCAR activator CITCO within a cell-based reporter gene assay (Auerbach et al., 2005), recommending the possible electricity of the variant being a book device for in vitro evaluation of hCAR activation. To evaluate the selectivities of hPXR and hCAR for coinducers of and genes, this research evaluated some 16 clinically utilized medications for their comparative activation of hPXR versus hCAR. Weighed against the known hPXR activator rifampin (RIF), three from the 16 medicines (CMZ, EFV, and NVP) had been associated with poor or negligible hPXR activation in cell-based transfection assays. In human being hepatocytes, CMZ, EFV, and NVP induced CYP2B6 reporter gene manifestation, aswell as CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 endogenous gene manifestation. Tail vein delivery of hCAR into CAR?/? mice exhibited that these substances induced nuclear translocation of hCAR and improved.

Thunderstorms and power outages hit Southern California, lightning blamed for fires
Lightning seen from Malibu coast streaked across the skies above Santa Monica area Friday night, creating a spectacular – but dangerous – light show just off the coast. (Photo by Gene Blevins/LA DailyNews/SCNG)
PUBLISHED: October 13, 2018 at 7:34 am | UPDATED: October 13, 2018 at 9:42 am
LOS ANGELES – Thousands of Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and Southern California Edison customers were without power Saturday morning after a thunderstorm with lightning dumped nearly four-tenths of an inch of rain in parts of Southern California.
DWP reported approximately 2,800 customers across Los Angeles were without power as of about 8 a.m., down from 10,000 at the height of the outage, and crews were working to restore electricity to the remaining customers, in most cases by noon.
Edison reports at least 8,300 customers across Los Angeles County were without power, many along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Edison estimated most customers will be back online later today.
Nearly four-tenths of an inch of rain was reported in Bel Air and at UCLA, according to the National Weather Service. Downtown Los Angeles and Beverly Hills both received about three-tenths of an inch of rain.
The rainfall has also caused a beach water use advisory to be issued by Los Angeles County Health Officer Muntu Davis. It cautions residents to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers.
Health officials say bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters after the rainfall, and those who enter the water in these areas could become ill.
However, the officials also say that those areas only comprise a small portion of the beach, and anybody who wants to go to other areas at the beach can still enjoy it.
The advisory will be in effect until at least 8:30 p.m. Monday.
Lightning could be seen and thunder heard across a wide swath of the region and rain began falling in downtown Los Angeles about 7:30 p.m. Friday after several flashes of lightning.
Thunder claps could also be heard.
Rain and lightning were also reported in Orange County.
Lightning was blamed for fires in Santa Ana, an unincorporated area near Orange and the Los Alamitos Joint Air Base, where four Orange County Fire Authority and two base companies worked to extinguish up to 10 palm trees that caught fire following strikes, according to OCFA Capt. Steve Concialdi.
OCFA crews also responded at 10 p.m. to a traffic collision at Bloomfield Street and Katella Avenue in Los Alamitos where a man crashed into a utility pole and live wires were on the vehicle, which came to rest against a building near the intersection, Concialdi said.
A woman passenger who was trapped in the car was freed at 11:25 p.m. by firefighters using the Jaws of Life after Edison crews were able to de- energize and remove the downed power lines from the vehicle, Concialdi said.
She was transported to a hospital as a trauma patient with moderate injuries. The man was also transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
Concialdi urged drivers to slow down when it rains because of the slick road conditions.
Lightning also forced delays for many high school football games in Los Angeles and Orange counties in getting started or caused them to be halted. A National Federation of State High School Associations rule bans football from being played during lightning. Thirty minutes from the last lightning strike must pass before play begins or resumes.
Sunday's forecast calls for clear weather.

Los Alamitos-At 8:08pm, 13 OCFA firefighters assisted FFs from Los Alamitos Joint Forces Air Base with a fire in the 4300 blk of Farquhar Ave.When FFs arrived onscene, they had 6-10 palm trees engulfed in fire (lightening strike).Units remain onscene extinguishing all hot spots.

William C. Robinson (1919-2019)
William (Bill) Robinson is responsible, more than anyone else, for starting the International Horn Workshops and the International Horn Society. His mission in life has been as a music educator.
Bill was born in Oklahoma in 1919. He earned his degree in Instrumental Music Education at the University of Oklahoma in 1942 and became band director at Norman High School before going into the Army that same year. He played baritone and trombone in the army band in El Paso and started horn instruction with Leonard Hale, who was also a member of the band. He played in the El Paso Symphony until the band was sent to the Pacific in 1945.
After being discharged from the Army in 1946, he returned to Norman, earned a master's degree from the University of Oklahoma, and resumed his position as band director at Norman High School. He studied horn with George Yeager and played in the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra for seven years.
In 1958, after hearing the Chicago Symphony Woodwind Quintet and becoming acquainted with Philip Farkas, he went to Chicago during the summer to study with Phil. They became good friends - a friendship that lasted for the rest of Phil's life.
In 1959, the Robinsons moved to El Paso TX, where Bill taught in the public schools and played first horn in the El Paso Symphony for seven years.
During his years in secondary band programs, Bill developed what was called the "Breath Impulse System," which promoted breath support, tone production, and good rhythmic body feeling. With his colleague in Norman, James Middleton, and his colleagues at Baylor University, Richard Shanley, Larry Vanlandingham, and Gene Smith, he wrote a book, the Complete School Band Program for the benefit of school band directors. He later published two horn method books that were edited by Phil Farkas.
Bill was the horn professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee FL from 1966-71. He was a member of the Faculty Chamber Orchestra, Faculty Woodwind Quintet, and Brass Trio. While there, he hosted the first three International Horn Workshops (1969, 1970, 1971) and was instrumental in forming the International Horn Society in 1970. He served as vice president of the IHS for five years (1971-76).
In 1971, he moved to Baylor University in Waco TX, where he taught horn and later became Chairman of the Instrumental Music Division, which grew from 19 to over 125 instrumental music education students during the years from 1971 to 1986, when he retired. While at Baylor, he also played in the faculty woodwind quintet and brass quintet, the Waco Symphony, and the San Angelo Symphony.
Bill was elected an IHS Honorary Member in 1978, elected to the Oklahoma Band Director's Hall of Fame in 1988, and received the Edwin Franko Goldman Award from the American School Band Directors Association in 1995. He was a charter member of the last organization in 1953. In 1999, he was honored at Baylor University as the founder of the Chamber Music Society in Waco.
Bill studied horn with George Yaeger, Philip Farkas, Dale Clevenger, and Arnold Jacobs and also had help on the horn from Frøydis Ree Wekre and Hermann Baumann. He taught horn students of all ages from schools in Orlando FL and surrounding areas in his retirement until shortly before his death.

Matero's bartender receives award for second year in a row.
POLONIA – Johnny Wilkinson, a bartender at Matero's Pub and Pizza, has been named the best bartender for the second year in a row in Stevens Point Journal Media's Portage County's Best reader survey. We talked with Wilkinson about the award.
How did you get started? I started at weddings when I was young — 16, 17, 18 — with my dad. I started (at Matero's) six years ago when (it) first opened up. (Owner Chris Daniels) came to watch me bartend when I was at my other bar, we just talked a couple times and he's such a sweet talker he talked me into coming here.
What can customers expect when you are tending bar? I think we're all good at what we do otherwise you wouldn't (be doing) your job. I think I enjoy my job more, and I really, really love talking. I could sit here and talk. I like to goof around with the customers and get to know them. With (owners) Chris and Dawn, they've got such a good food business here they're bringing in new people, so I get to meet new people from outside the community.
What sets you apart from other bartenders? Great service, a really good drink and a good conversation. We'll have a nice talk at the bar, see where they're from, let them know where I'm from exactly, have some fun and talk.
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you? I can get along with all ages. When I make a drink, you don't notice but ... I'll talk to the drink when I'm making it, and people will just sit there, watch and stare at me.


Marketing in the digital age means that you have to work faster, be more productive and communicate effectively and efficiently. But the juggling act isn't always easy. If you're using Chrome (and you should be!) there are amazingly useful extensions that can enhance its functionality, streamline your productivity and help you communicate more efficiently.


Those can be yours for $22,000 a pair. The 1,000 wpc monoblocks are a measly $34,100/pair. I don't know if you can 10% off at Acoustic Sounds this weekend. LOL!
When you say rack, are you talking about 19" front mounting? If so, there are tons of rack mount cooling fans everywhere. Fairly cheep and look way cool. My rack, Contains 4 old school crown amps, Behind the rack (hidden) I use a 7inch desk fan. plugged in to a power strip. When the party gets cookin', I just flip the breaker and on she goes. I only use it when I'm playing my system at just below clipping. At that volume, you can't hear it.
It's primitive but cools things in a hurry.
19 inch is exactly what I'm talking about. I see some fans that apparently only get to about 30db, but they seem to be expensive. I definitely have time on my side right now, so I will have to look further into it. I also don't really know how to set them up. Do I just want fans in the back pushing out? Or should I have ones in the front pushing in, and ones in the back pushing out?
These are a pair of Pass Labs 600 wpc mono blocks. I heard these at the Chicago Audio show earlier this year.
don't get me wrong, i would kill to have those, and they are some of the best looking amps i have ever seen, but those ones are AB, and the ones I'm building are just class A, which is why i'm investigating the cooling stuff.
BJ-I suggest putting fans in the back and pulling the cooling air through the rack. Be sure to occasionally clean the fans and gear; fans pulling air may increase the dust factor.
In reality, 50 wpc Class A is probably more than you'll ever need. Unless you have some inefficient speakers.
i'm actually running that in my computer right now. It's not rack mountable, and I have no idea how i would set that up.

Google's Youtube Rolls Out Automatic English Captions To All Videos
Singularity Hub Staff
Susan Boyle, Now With English Captions Automatically Added By Google's Youtube
In a press conference earlier today Google announced a bold and ambitious plan to automatically add computer generated captioning to all English videos on Youtube. Capitalizing on more than a decade of expertise gained during the creation of services such as the Google Translation Engine and Google Voice, the web giant will leverage its powerful computing infrastructure to automatically convert English speech into text across virtually every video in its archive. The announcement from Google represents a landmark moment in the field of automated speech translation. It is also a much welcome boon to deaf and hearing impaired people across the world. What's more, the automatic translation of millions of hours of speech laden video into text represents a big boost to the field of information and search. Millions of hours of speech will now be accessible to search engines. Google's translation initiative portends a fast approaching world where all speech, whether it be in videos, phone conversations, or plain old human to human conversations will be automatically converted into text and made searchable for anyone, speaking any language, in the world. Be sure to watch the video after the break that explains most of what you want to know about Google's video caption service.
The importance of the announcement today is not really about the technology or the capability of speech to text translation, both of which have been inching into the mainstream for many years now. Indeed, Google has been converting speech to text in Youtube videos to limited partners at least as long ago as Nov 2009. The real news here is the enormous scale of the translation that will occur. Google indicates that nearly every single English video on Youtube will soon be translated into text captioning, and languages other than English will be sure to follow. Even though only English videos can be captioned, once those videos are captioned into English their captions can then be translated into roughly 50 different languages. Below is a short video from Google that clearly explains the basics of their captioning service:
When it comes to managing information, whether it be searching, sorting, or grouping, text is king. Search engines such as Google or Bing, question answering services like Wolfram Alpha, and pretty much any other major information management tool you can imagine are all built upon the ability to analyze text. Give them videos or images, and they don't know what to do with them or how to understand them, save for the text meta data that accompanies them. Today's captioning announcement from Google means that literally millions of hours of speech that has been trapped within the world's videos will now be extracted and eventually made available for search engines and all other information tools to manipulate. It is not clear when or how these captions will be made openly available to other services, but hopefully they will be made available soon. As if the world wasn't already awash in information, it looks like Google has just opened the floodgates for a whole lot more information to flow into our lives.
Of course, for the millions of deaf people around the world the captioning initiative from Google is an especially exciting development, opening the doors to the rich universe of Youtube content that has thus far been very difficult to access. In its presentation today Google gave ample time for hearing impaired and deaf advocates to explain how awesome this captioning service will be for them. The promo video below demonstrates that value:
Automated language translation, either in the form of speech to text translation or translation from one language to another, has been a big theme for us here at the Hub. We have seen tweets automatically converted into other languages, an entire social network that allows people using any language to converse, and smartphone apps that can translate your dictated speech. Although full fledged human level artificial intelligence, or strong ai, may still be a ways off, advances in language translation demonstrate how artificial intelligence to conquer specific subsets of human intelligence, or narrow ai, is blooming all around us.
Star Trek quality universal language translation isn't quite here yet, but it is tantalizingly close. Even with current technology the translations are good enough for most of our needs. Over the last few months there have been several occasions in which I was easily able to communicate with an individual over Facebook in a foreign language by passing our conversation through Google's language translation engine. Ten to twenty years from now automatic translation will be really, really good, and language may completely cease to be a barrier to human communication. Spoken words and written words will seamlessly be converted from one language to another language in real time as we converse with each other in person or over the phone, engage in video chats with each other, write to each other, and – yes – even watch videos on Youtube.

Places become faces and the missing faces break our hearts.
Tragically, on the anniversary of 1985's deadly earthquake, Mexico City shook wildly again today, September 19, 2017. Gratefully, in the last year, I have had the pleasure of visiting Mexico City on three different occasions, and I am forever fascinated by its people, its food, and ironically, like the irony of today's quake's timing, I am in awe of its architecture which is shaped by its having been shaken.
Last night I read that Anguilla was in the direct path of Category 5 Hurricane Irma. The hurricane's eye hit the island early this morning. With wind speeds clocked at 185+ mph and surf surges 7-11′, Hurricane Irma left a catastrophic mark on this tranquil, beloved island.
Being a travel photographer, I never leave a location without being affected or without my heartstrings being tugged. It's as if the people and place are permanently cataloged in my mind – the smells, the sounds, the tastes, the sights and the feelings never die. The senses are reintroduced through the saved imagery, and I feel a closeness. Visiting my photo archives last night, I prepared for the storm by looking through my favorite Anguilla images. I didn't have to hide from the incoming, ferocious storm, brace myself against deadly winds, secure my house from rising flood waters or see torn-off roofs, downed trees or snapped-in-two power lines. Instead, securely inside my house, 3200 miles away, I worried about what Anguillians would face in the morning, and with this kindred spiritedness, I felt as if I was right next door to my neighbor.
This morning, while Hurricane Irma pummeled Anguilla, I attended my Wednesday workout class in Arizona. The motivational topic was perspective.
No matter where we go in the world, we all desire shelter – a place to retreat to have safety and security, and when our shelter is threatened or wiped-out, we are lost – where do we go? what do we do?
We grieve for what was and celebrate when the sun comes out.
if we didn't lose our lives.


TEMPE, Ariz. – One night after giving up five goals, Michigan State responded with a much better defensive effort.
The Spartans made better decisions, were more alert in their own zone, limited odd-man rushes and allowed only two goals to Arizona State on Saturday night in the desert.
However, it still wasn't enough to ensure a victory over the upstart Sun Devils in front of a standing-room-only crowd at Oceanside Ice Arena.
MSU's defense took a step up but the offense had a tough night trying to get the puck past ASU goalie Joey Daccord as the Sun Devils (9-3) scored one goal in each of the first two periods and emerged with a 2-0 victory, which completed a non-conference sweep of the Spartans (4-4).
Michigan State, which scored four times in Friday's back-and-forth 5-4 defeat, had some good opportunities stopped by Daccord or had back-door one-timers go wide, over the net or hit the side of the net.
Adding to the Spartans' frustration was their failure to convert on the power play. They had five power plays - 12 minutes and 25 seconds with an extra man - and managed to get only four shots on goal, while a few shots just missed the net. MSU had a 5-minute power play from late in the second period to early in the third.
Daccord made 20 saves with MSU forward Mitchell Lewandowski and defenseman Zach Osburn each firing four shots on goal. MSU goalie John Lethemon made 29 saves and was especially sharp in the third period to keep his team within striking distance.
The Sun Devils scored on an odd-man rush eight seconds after an MSU power play expired in the first period, and on a 5-on-4 four power play in the second period, 12 seconds after the Spartans had just survived a 5-on-3 power play for one minute.
Cole didn't believe that the power play was necessarily out of sync. It just didn't finish, had some back breaks and ASU defended it well by being aggressive and blocking shots and cross-ice passes.
"The worse thing you can do as a coach is to say 'We scored so we did great' and 'We didn't score so we did lousy,''' the Spartans coach said. "You have to watch that. They're a good penalty-killing team.


It was pretty dark, but I got him on camera, yeah.
From Hornby Island it was a 3 days trip to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, where I'm taking a day off.
As it gets dark at half past 8 pm, I start early to use the daylight of the morning hours. I wanted to cycle to Nanaimo today, to have a shorter ride the next day, and stopped at a Visitors Center on the way to find out if the hostel there had vacancies. The people of the tourist information were extremly generous and I could use their internet and phone to find out what I needed (imagine this in Germany: 'Also nein, wo kaemen wir denn da hin wenn hier jeder das Internet benutzen wuerde' 'Wir sind doch keine Telefonzentrale' etc.). In this respect, it's like in Norway, a lot of these small gestures are no problem at all. Anyway, there was no vacant bed in Nanaimo's hostel. But the alternative was not bad either, I arrived at Rathtrevor Provincial Park campground in the early afternoon and got one of the 10 walk-in sites that don't require reservation. The campsite was pretty busy. Cycled 70 km and had the rest of the afternoon for drying clothes and relaxing.
The next day was horrible. I knew from my book 'Cycling the Pacific Coast' (which is a great help) that a 4 lane highway is waiting for me. Due to the very wide shoulder it was not even dangerous and I had enough space, but still, it was kind of stressful. Loud trucks and very loud motorcycles passing, the sun burning. I was glad to reach the ferry to the idyllic Salt Spring Island, where I camped at Ruckle Provincial Park. Had to climb some nasty hills on the last kilometers. The Park has 80 walk-in sites and was completely full! It didn't seem crowded though, because the area was large. Cycled 105 km.
The next day was great. After yesterdays highway and hills, a beautiful bike path led the way to Victoria, after a scenic ferry ride from Salt Spring Island back to Vancouver Island. No hills and no cars passing! Cycled relaxing 45 km and took another day to explore the city.
bin drauf reingefallen :) aber gut dass du in sicherheit bist!!
Ich bin auch drauf reingefallen, da sieht man erst das Foto und denkt sich "Oh weh die Andrea steht einen Meter vor dem Bäääären!!" und dann am Ende die Auflösung :) Coole Sache deine Tour. Bist du noch fit oder ist es schon anstrengend? 105 km klingen unendlich weeeit!
