Everyone knows South East Asia and bikes are a match made in heaven. But do they know that Southern Thailand is the best cycling destination in the whole region?
This may be a controversial comment – one at which the highlands of Bali or the temple-filled lands of Myanmar may balk. But if you want an accessible, leisurely and eclectic cycling trip in Asia, there's no better place to start.
We're talking about Thailand, so this may be stating the obvious. But how good is stripping off your sweaty cycling gear, swapping it for swimmers and taking a dip with the fishes? Those who complain that the water in Thailand is too warm probably haven't ridden a bicycle down Australia's Great Ocean Road at dawn in June. I'll take the beaches of Khao Lak for a pit stop any day. A longtail boat ride off the Andaman Coast is an essential experience here, especially since many of the best- beaches and limestone islands are tucked away. Phang Nga Bay is a great example, home to the iconic James Bond Island and an incredible Muslim village built on stilts over the water – Ko Panyee.
Southern Thailand has a higher population of Muslim people than other parts of the country, a fact many travellers don't know until they go there. So if you've come down from say, Chiang Mai, it makes for an interesting contrast to an otherwise largely Buddhist culture. It's a delight for the palette too, as you start to see dishes like khao mok gai (turmeric-infused chicken pot roast) and massaman (a rich beef curry with soft-cooked potatoes) really come into their own. These kinds of dishes, along with fresh seafood, are what the south excels in, but even typical northern dishes are done beautifully down here. The best som tum (papaya salad) I ever had was at Krabi Night Market. A thirteen-year-old made it.
Then there's the breadth of landscapes. Just when you thought you were in for an endless reel of karst islands and turquoise water, you find Khao Sok National Park. A friend of mine described this place as a real-life Jungle Book for adults, and I have to agree. It's so vividly green and alive with monkeys and birds, it's like it's been digitally enhanced. Khao Sok is a great way to get a taste of Thailand's immense jungle life without heading north of Bangkok.
The capital itself, a common jump-off point for a trip down south, is a different story again, with backstreet cycling routes down alleyways and along canals, revealing a whole different side of the hectic megalopolis most people know Bangkok to be.
Frank Cheshire, manager of Intrepid's range of cycling trips, told me with a straight face that the number one complaint for their Cycle Southern Thailand trip is that the roads are too good. I guess some people like a few potholes and rough stuff – something to dramatise the sense of adventure or justify the front suspension. But in these parts, you'll find your bike's shockers can stay mostly in lock mode, as the roads are generally smooth and well-sealed, with soft bends and only gentle inclines.
Let's be honest, you don't want to be cycling the whole way across the country. You want to stop for a swim here and there, sample the roadside pad see ew, maybe take some photos and videos. More importantly, you want to get amongst the locals, and there are few better ways to do so than on an overnight train. First-timers may be nervous about taking a sleeper train in Asia, but people are always surprised at how much fun it is. For me, meeting both locals and other travellers on the train allowed for a slower and more in-depth interaction than what you'd get in a hostel, at the market or in a bar. There's nowhere else to go, so you stop and engage. Bangkok to Surat Thani is the way to go.
Hydration is a whole different science in Thailand. Forget about your vitamin water and your artificially sweetened sports drinks – it's all about the fresh coconuts. A tried and tested natural source of hydration and an endless novelty besides, they have an exotic appeal that seems to amplify ten-fold when you're on the bike. For those that do need something a little more supercharged, 7-11s and other convenience stores in Thailand tend to be locally owned, and stock a range of hydrating drinks.
It's important not to underestimate the warm climate when you're riding in the tropics. The balmy conditions can take even a seasoned cyclist by surprise. As someone who has copped a dose of heatstroke in Thailand, my advice is not to stay out in the water too long on swim stops (certainly not in April or May) because you will warm up, and keep the fluid intake up – all day and well into the evening. Along with the obligatory sunscreen and swimming costume, some electrolyte tablets are a good thing to pack, in case things get dire.

When not ambling lankily across Melbourne's Princes Park on wide-eyed vitamin D re-ups I cycle, read, write, make frivolous rock music and of course travel (both bodily and by proxy).


we are part of a wider community.
we have with many community groups.
Students from PSC take part in the annual ANZAC Day dawn service, often performing major roles in the day's ceremonies.
The Country Woman's Association generously provides scholarships to our students to support them in their education.
The College takes great pride in supporting the Cardinia Combined Churches Caring (The 4Cs) with a range of fundraising events.
Work preparation is assisted by Rotary, which also annually celebrates the community contribution of a College student via the Cameron Trust.
Even though you've formally left the school, Pakenham Secondary College takes great pride in the achievements of its alumni, and all students are welcome at the school at any time.
The career's team at Pakenham Secondary College loves to hear about the progress of graduates. Often, your stories stimulate and encourage current students, providing them with confidence and direction. Please keep us up to date with what you're up to!
The College is very supportive of groups organising graduating year reunions. Please contact us if you're planning a reunion and we'll do our best to help with administrative and venue help.
Elections for school council are held annually in March.
The College invites parents and members of the community who have an interest in providing the best possible education for our children to put their hand up for a school council role.

The College's school council always welcomes connections with the wider community. There are several ways local groups can take advantage of our facilities. In each case, agreements are signed to make sure all parties understand their responsibilities.
Rooms and grounds at the College can be hired for one-off or short-run events, such as a presentation night for a sporting team or a series of performances by a dance club.
If a school facility is needed on a regular basis, such as a drama group requiring a room for weekly rehearsals or a cricket club wanting an oval for the season, a licence agreement applies.
When the College is to construct a new building, school council may be open to the involvement of a community partner, with whom the facility would be shared, if the extra funds provided by the partner would improve the facility for all.


BANDON, Ore. -- Once you've experienced a few rounds on the challenging coastal links golf of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, you may feel there really is no place like home -- your home golf course, that is.
For those golfers looking for a quick escape back to the friendly confines of their home course, where golf makes sense again, Bandon Crossings Golf Course is your medicine. It provides a more traditional, parkland setting, and for tired legs, it has plenty of golf carts.
Located about 15 minutes south of Bandon Dunes, Bandon Crossings came to fruition rather quickly. The land was purchased by a couple from Eugene in 2005, and by July of 2007, the course was ready to play. Dan Hixon, a local pro from Portland, designed the course, and while the course was shaped by the same man who did Bandon Dunes' courses, it was seeded with a traditional Rye grass in the fairways and rough and bent grass greens. The result is a softer, greener course that will likely resemble the playing style of your home club.
"They finally get to use their lob wedge again," remarks Head Professional Mark Fiore, noting the bump-and-run or the 30-yard putt isn't a necessary shot here like at Bandon Dunes' three tracks. "There is more comfortability here for a lot of players. I think a lot of people struggle with the grass (at Bandon Dunes) on their first time."
Bandon Crossings will look more like home to most golfers, though the course does take on a couple personality changes over the course of 18 holes. While the first five and last three holes are played in more wide-open links-style, the course really shines in the middle, when it plays back into thick forests full of coastal furs, cedars and even a few old redwoods.
Bandon Crossings' par-5 fifth hole (which like Pacific Dunes' ninth hole has alternate top and bottom greens) plays from high land before heading straight downhill to the bottom green along a river bed. From here, the course plays through thick forest and features the most scenic of the holes, like the sharp, dogleg left eighth hole, where a madrone guards the dogleg and tempts you try and blast a drive over it to cut the corner. You'll find five par 3s and par 5s here, making for a few more birdie chances, This provides for a steady flow to the round.
There is still plenty of challenge at Bandon Crossings, and the par-5 18th hole makes for a stern finish with a ravine splitting the hole into two halves. The second shot requires a long carry, and if you must lay up, you're looking at a shot of about 200 yards downhill towards the green. Play your drive on the right-hand side of the fairway to give yourself the best chance of clearing the hazard.
Bandon Crossings is an entirely different experience compared to the three Bandon Dunes Resort courses just minutes north. It's bent and rye grasses are greener and softer, and you're not going to be hitting any 80-foot putts or chasing knock-downs into 30 mile per hour wind out here. Your more traditional parkland lob shots around the greens can finally come out of the bag.
Golfers whose legs are tired from the walking at Bandon Dunes will appreciate golf carts and softer fairways and smaller, bent grass greens. Golfers who want to play 36 holes but don't want to walk 36 holes in a day should consider an afternoon round at Bandon Crossings.
Not only will Bandon Crossings be easy on your feet, it's also about 1/3 the cost of the three (soon to be four) Bandon Dunes courses, so it will give your wallet some relief for the day as well.
Few golf courses in the world can be considered one of the nation's best - and also the least prestigious of three courses at its resort. Such is the case with the new Bandon Trails at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the west coast of Oregon.

Editorial | Letters
Rail station at airport will reduce anxiety
Regarding the letter by Michael O'Hara ("Schlep luggage on rail and bus? Ha!" July 24), I've been traveling between here and New Jersey annually for over 25 years. It's an 11-hour flight.
Ten years ago, Newark airport extended its monorail to the train, and New Jersey transit built a beautiful station there. No longer does my family suffer gridlock to pick me up. No longer do I suffer with the expense of renting a car and the terror of driving in New JerseyI arrive at my final destination refreshed and relaxed. My trip back to the airport is predictable: I know exactly what time I will arrive for check-in. "Schlepping" is what I would refer to as driving in and out of Waikiki.
I agree with the idea of polling tourists about rail transit. Conduct these surveys when tourists return their cars. I guarantee those with transit experience would highly prefer multimodal transit options to the nightmare of driving in Honolulu.

Too bad Schatz hasn't fired his chief of staff
Your editorial ("Schatz earns Democratic nomination," Our View July 20) was very helpful in setting forth the backgrounds of the two candidates, Brian Schatz and Colleen Hanabusa.
I had already intended to vote for Schatz in the primary, as I believe his relative youth and two years of seniority already achieved in the Senate will benefit Hawaii by providing the power of seniority in years to come. But then the prior activities of Schatz' chief of staff, Andy Winer, were revealed in the media and Schatz has refused to remove Winer from the staff.
There is already too much sleaze in Washington. I find it hard to vote for someone who would retain such a person as chief of his Washington office staff.
Jack C. Morse
Palestinian violence shouldn't surprise
I am writing in response to Suzie Lim's outpouring of sympathy for the now more than 700 Palestinian casualties in the current conflict in Gaza.
It's hard not to share her sympathy, especially when those casualties are quickly explained away as mere "propaganda" and diversion in the very next breath.
Clearly, Hamas militants must take ownership of the fact that they engage the Israel Defense Forces from densely populated civilian areas. But one has to wonder: When you corral 2 million people into an area one-fourth the size of Rhode Island, restrict their access to food, water and electricity, and then use the military to keep them from leaving, what other option have you given them?

Take cab keys away from Abercrombie
While I remember Gov. Neil Abercrombie's original and novel yellow cab campaign promotion from the 1980s and '90s, I cannot smile at his latest television commercial.
Like many other public school teachers who voted for him in the last election, we were profoundly disappointed to have him "rear end" — or "blind side," take your pick — all of us during the last teacher contract negotiation. Unlike the wondrous ladies in his campaign ad, in real life I felt more like the victim of a hit-and-run accident, with you-know-who at the wheel.
While Neil Abercrombie may have once stood for change and integrity and fashioned himself as the "people's candidate," his tenure as governor only confirmed one thing: absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Time to take this driver's keys away.

Pension tax better than hiking the GET
Pensionaires get special treatment. They're exempt from state income tax, unlike all other retirees and residents.
So, in 2011 when Gov. Neil Abercrombie inherited a fiscal crisis with no easy fix, he proposed ending the loophole for pension income over $37,500, leaving intact the 100 percent exemption below that amount. Neither he, nor the state House that wanted to exempt pensions up to $100,000, were wrong. In fact, it was the fairest solution to try at the time.
Hawaii's working families certainly aren't tax-exempt up to $100,000, as the very biggest pensioners were and are today.
During the crisis, state Sen. David Ige was wrong to propose aneconomically harmful general excise tax increase.Ige, and very many others, are now acting out of pure self-interest, not aloha or principle, in appealing to greed and fear among voters. They should be called out and opposed by young and old.

Stairway to Heaven statistically very safe
Lloyd Faulkner's letter contained misconceptions about Haiku Stairs ("Stairway to Heaven should be dismantled," Star-Advertiser, July 20), such as when he wrote they would be "a nightmare to maintain."
It would require adequate management, certainly, but "nightmare"?
As for "liability and rescue," for eight years the stairs were open under the U.S. Coast Guard and in 27 years of illegal hiking since closure, no serious injuries have been reported. Virtually all rescues there involved hikersnoton the stairs. It is statistically one of the safest hikes on the island.
He also said the stairs are "for more advanced persons." No, it is a wonderful, if strenuous hike for well-prepared beginning hikers. Former newspaper columnist Heidi Bornhorst wrote decades ago about a field trip with school children on the Stairs to study the interesting botany.
Trespassers, not Haiku Stairs, are the problem. Thousands hiked it for eight years with no problems. When it was closed, trespassers became a nuisance. Reopening the trail with access and parking away from the residences is the solution.
John Flanigan
Welfare state at risk from open borders
Letter-writer James Hildenbrand is to be commended for his compassionate stance regarding the southern border situation ("Fleeing children could use love," Star-Advertiser, July 23).
Unfortunately, it is a textbook example of our tendency to establish positions based solely on emotion without an equal measure of intellectual engagement.
While we as Americans do indeed purport to be a benevolent people, we are a society structured on a sense of order and due process, which together establish parameters within which to exercise our sense of fairness.
A welfare state organized around a policy granting unfettered access through open borders will be our undoing in short order.
Free stuff comes first, then you get the bill
I've been watching the debates for the congressional candidates and virtually all are promising something for free: reduced or free college costs, veterans' mortgage rates to non-veterans, increased Social Security and Medicare benefits, on and on.
Whatever happened to President John F. Kennedy's plea:"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"?
Today's politicians all brag that they're going to "bring home the bacon" without stating how they are going to pay for these freebies. We have a national debt of $17 trillion-plus. They forget that when the pig gets fat, the hog gets slaughtered.
They also forget that when you get something for nothing, you just haven't been billed yet.

"Freedom fleeting for isle escapees," Star-Advertiser, July 21:
>> What do all those pictured people have in common? They all made state Public Safety Director Ted Sakai and his minions look like the Keystone Cops when they escaped.
>> How are they escaping in the first place? They only get caught later because we live on an island.
>> Rather than boasting about catching these cons early, how about winning over our confidence and going a whole year without an escape?
"State worker apologizes for photographing cars," Star-Advertiser, July 21:
>> Wow. A government employee tries to do good and then gets accused of invasion of privacy. Her supervisor, however, should have been putting up signs long ago.
>> Why not have a security guard watch the parking lot and note if a person other than from the courthouse enters their vehicle or that person actually goes into the courthouse to do business? Is there a tow notice for unauthorized use of the parking lot?
"City is urged to preserve Natatorium memorial," Star-Advertiser, July 22:
>> Geez, how much longer is this shibai going to continue? It's been going on for years. The pool is unusable and a complete waste of prime space. Save the arch and move it, then demo the pool so the beach can be used already!
>> I grew up swimming and diving at the Natatorium so I have great memories of the place. However, if the public can't raise the money from private contributors, I think it needs to be torn down. The city can't afford to rebuild it and then maintain it, so it would become another money drain — money that we don't have.
"Pilot with aerial ad company arrested for flying banners," Star-Advertiser, July 22:
>> The pilot makes a good point. If we are allowed to be inundated with those political signs, what's the difference?
>> The aerial sign is a for-profit venture. The political signs, as ugly as they are, have First Amendment protection. Hopefully this discussion will bring about the end of political sign waving and those ridiculous fence signs.
>> Politicians are for-profit ventures. Profit for themselves.
"Hawaiian plaintiffs ask for special master in lawsuit," Star-Advertiser, July 23:
>> Keith Hunter is an objective, skilled master mediator and a person of unquestionable integrity. He offers the very best hope for resolving this mess. If he can't bring the parties to an agreed solution, then there's no solution to be found.
>> DHHL (Department of Hawaiian Home Lands) mismanagement. Gotta be in tight with the Hawaiians in charge or you get the runaround or worse. Been like that forevas.
"Blocked manhole overflows, spilling sewage," Star-Advertiser, July 23:
>> Some people are so ignorant they think they can use the sewer to dump massive amounts of trash. If the city want this to keep this from happening, it needs to educate people in poor areas on how to properly dispose of unwanted items.
>> How about replacing the current drain-access covers with massive ones that can either be locked or too heavy to move? Something must be done. As for the feral pigs, as they are not endemic to the island, simply start wiping them from the island. No loss there. Put a bounty on their heads.
"Kalaeloa rentals plan praised," Star-Advertiser, July 24:
>> This seems like a project that will be beneficial all around for the area schools and businesses, plus for the people who are looking for housing in West Oahu. And anything that brings more life to the area should help chase away the element that had clearly been abusing the property when abandoned, according to those photos!
>> $1,300 a month plus utilities to live in a 500-square-foot cracker box in the boonies without any public transportation within reasonable walking distance? What a joke.
"Chow vows Hawaii will be better after last year's 1-11 mark," Star-Advertiser, July 24:
>> You've talked the talk, now walk the walk.
>> Coach Norm Chow's not exactly going out on a limb saying that "the team will get better." With a previous season 1-11 record, it's extremely difficult to not get better.

UConn philosopher Michael P. Lynch has filed a friend of the court brief in support of the American Civil Liberties Union challenge to the U.S. National Security Agency's surveillance of telephone records.
A friend of the court brief, known as an amicus brief in legal terminology, is often filed by private individuals in cases that carry broad public interest, in part to provide knowledge or expertise that the court may find valuable.
"At the heart of this case is not a legal issue, but a moral issue, what it means to be an autonomous person in this society," says Lynch, who is a frequent contributor to the New York Times' blog "The Stone," where he writes on privacy and other issues.

Book Review: Sticking it to the Man: Revolution and Counterculture in Pulp and Popular Fiction, 1950-1980
Movies and pulp fiction share a long, rich, and complicated history that deserves more consideration and thoughtful examination. A new book recently released by PM Press and edited by Andrew Nette and Iain McIntyre does just that. Sticking it to the Man: Revolution and Counterculture in Pulp and Popular Fiction, 1950-1980 is dedicated to examining the ways in which the changing politics and culture of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s were reflected in the mass-produced budget-friendly literature of the times. But this beautifully designed and lushly illustrated coffee-table-ready volume also provides film fans with an invaluable look at how these books came to shape and inspire many movies and franchises. From the backstreet exploits of Shaft (1971) and Dirty Harry (1971) to the thoughtful examinations of class and race relations in To Sir, With Love (1967) and The Landlord (1970), Sticking it to the Man reminds us that these films all began life as popular fiction.
The 1960s and 1970s were a turbulent and transformative time. Around the globe, social mores and political institutions were being challenged and upended by groups as diverse as the Black Power movement, gay liberation, the New Left and AIM (American Indian Movement). Despite hostile opposition by lawmakers, educational institutions and the media street hustlers, antiwar factions, working-class stiffs, and civil rights activists were able to magnify their ostracized voices in the public sphere and in pulp fiction. But their radical views and unique observations faced a backlash from conservative writers. Inspired by Nixonesque ideals, rightwing word-slingers used pulp fiction to criticize and mock the counterculture. As a result, pulp fiction became a battleground of ideas where black radicals, gays, yippies, and feminists faced off against white vigilantes, renegade cops, and traditional-minded military men.
Sticking it to the Man takes readers on a deep dive into this weird and wonderful world with more than 300 full-color reproductions of vintage book cover designs along with interviews, text excerpts, reviews and in-depth analyses of many marginalized authors and their work. The book emphasizes English language writers, specifically fiction from America, Australia and Britain, but despite its limited geographical focus Sticking it to the Man contains an expansive range of subjects and diverse perspectives from scholars as well as culture critics that allows readers to come away with a broad understanding of its subject.
As a film journalist and historian, I appreciated how much background information the book provided on cult movies such as Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), Getting Straight (1970), Walkabout (1971), and Across 110th Street (1972) along with popular franchises like Shaft, Dirty Harry, and Death Wish. But I was particularly impressed with the amount of space given to spotlight the work of black authors including Iceberg Slim (The Mack), Chester Himes (Cotton Comes to Harlem), E. R. Braithwaite (To Sir, With Love), Kristin Hunter (The Landlord), Ronald L. Fair (Cornbread Earl and Me), Nathan Heard (Gordan's War), Donald Goines (Crime Partners), and Marc Olden (Black Samurai). Film critics and scholars too often overlook the contributions of black writers when discussing black cinema to focus on white directors and producers. I would like to think it is not intentional since there is so little information about them readily available but thankfully Sticking it to the Man makes a valiant attempt to change this. As a result, I found myself eager to revisit films based on the work of overlooked black writers with a much deeper appreciation of their stories.
Sticking it to the Man is the perfect last-minute holiday gift for the book lovers and radical revolutionaries in your life but it is also an important read for film fans and scholars. The book is available from Amazon but I recommend purchasing it directly from PM Press. PM Press is currently offering buyers a 50% discount until January 1st with the coupon code GIFT. While there I also recommend picking up the companion volume Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction and Youth Culture, 1950 to 1980 also edited by Andrew Nette and Iain McIntyre.
If you would like to read more about the topic take a trip over to Andrew Nette's Pulp Curry site where you can find book excerpts along with more in-depth articles, reviews, and author interviews. Andrew is one of my favorite pop culture vultures and his website and Instagram account are a great resource for anyone interested in pulp, popular fiction, and film. Nette is also an accomplished author himself and you can find more information about his fiction output there as well.

Newark Child Partial Hospitalization Program is a partial hospitalization program for children ages 5-17. Children in this program, typically, have had histories of psychiatric hospitalization or residential treatment or are at risk for such treatment.
Depending upon the severity of the presenting difficulties youngsters may attend either a full or half day program.
The full day program (8:30AM to 4PM) includes both a clinical and education component. The clinical component provides four hours of psychiatric and therapeutic services. The educational component meets all state requirements for out of school instruction and is typically two hours per day. At present the full day program is offered exclusively to children in the kindergarten to third grade range of educational placement.
The half day program is in operation five afternoons per week (2PM-5:30 PM) and offers three hours of psychiatric and therapeutic services. In the half day program children are assigned to one of four age groupings (5-7, 8-9, 10-12, adolescent).
The clinical services for both the full and half day components include individual and family therapy with a primary clinician (social worker or psychologist), and group therapy by age group. Daily milieu activities are led by mental health specialists. Within the context of a behavior modification program, children have opportunities to develop social and adaptive skills, while stabilizing acute symptoms. All children are examined psychiatrically prior to admission to the program, and are followed by a psychiatrist regularly throughout their course in the program.
Referrals to the Newark Child Partial Hospitalization Program are made by professionals by calling the Program coordinator, Lee Kaufman at 973-972-9479. Children may also be referred to the Newark Child Partial Hospitalization Program from Child and Adolescent Outpatient Services, by consulting with the child's primary therapist. Services must be authorized by the NJ Contract System Administrator for partial hospital level of care and children attending the full day program must be authorized by their sending education district to receive out of school instruction.
For further information you may contact the Progam Director, Dr. Evelyn Orozco, 973-972-6939.


Critical to this research will be the utilisation of technologies that allow for the exchange of information across the research groups. Part of the project is an exploration of physical modelling in a virtual discourse through the employment of digital fabrication and rapid prototyping technologies, eg. Flat bed cutter, Laser cutter, 3D printer, new techniques will be developed to facilitate the transfer of what is gained through this modelling.

// CreateZip - call this to start the creation of a zip file.

// or in pagefile memory:  CreateZip(0, len);
// The final case stores it in memory backed by the system paging file,
// where the zip may not exceed len bytes. This is a bit friendlier than
// allocating memory with new[]: it won't lead to fragmentation, and the
// memory won't be touched unless needed. That means you can give very
// large estimates of the maximum-size without too much worry.
// As for the password, it lets you encrypt every file in the archive.
// (This api doesn't support per-file encryption.)
// Note: because pipes don't allow random access, the structure of a zipfile
// created into a pipe is slightly different from that created into a file
// or memory. In particular, the compressed-size of the item cannot be
// stored in the zipfile until after the item itself. (Also, for an item added
// itself via a pipe, the uncompressed-size might not either be known until
// after.) This is not normally a problem. But if you try to unzip via a pipe
// as well, then the unzipper will not know these things about the item until
// after it has been unzipped. Therefore: for unzippers which don't just write
// each item to disk or to a pipe, but instead pre-allocate memory space into
// which to unzip them, then either you have to create the zip not to a pipe,
// or you have to add items not from a pipe, or at least when adding items
// from a pipe you have to specify the length.

Possible , remove widescreen blackbars in windowed?
Is there any way to only display the actual video of a widescreen video while you are in windowed mode?
I usually watch svcd's with bsplayer 'always on top' in a small window while doing other things on my computer, and the black bars take up valuable space.
And I dont mean pan-scan, that looses some of the picture.
I just want a widescreen picture without the black bars.
The black bars at top and bottom most probably are in the move-file itself.
Right click on the player or video window. Go to Options and then to Filters. Click on DirectVobSub. Click on the General tab. Click on the top pull-down window in the Picture Size section and choose Original Height. Click OK at the bottom and restart your BSplayer.

This is where we have to start making a change to end gun violence. Bullying is an extremely dangerous action that others do to intimidate the less fortunate and creates this person to react in a very dangerous way. The person caught bullying another needs to be immediately suspended for three days. Yes, it's a hard punishment but in the end it will be the final protection for all. Parents will be outraged and inconvenienced but SO WHAT! It's your child that creates these people to act in a violent way. NO ONE wants to be bullied!
Absolutely, Rebecca!! Thank you for reading. You're so right on.


Royal Air Maroc will resume its activities in Essaouira next September in line with the development strategy for air transport services in the Marrakech-Safi region by strengthening the Essaouira-Casablanca line.
Three weekly flights will link Mogador and Casablanca for this purpose on 12 September 2017 in accordance with the terms of the tripartite agreement signed on Monday 3 July 2017 in the framework of the ordinary session of the Marrakesh-Safi Region Council held at headquarters Of the province of Essaouira.
The two-year agreement, with a value of eight million dirhams, is established between the Marrakech-Safi Region Council (2.3 million DH), the Directorate-General for Local Government (2 million 336 thousand dirhams ), And the Ministry of Equipment, Transport and Logistics (3 million 504 thousand dirhams).
This funding will subsidize these flights in order to solve the famous problem of profitability of the airline Casa-Essaouira. A serious problem that was causing the suspension of this line by the national operator a few years ago.
Mohammed Malal, fourth deputy chairman of the Marrakech-Safi region council, welcomed the culmination of this vital project for the revitalization of the Essaouira destination. The problem of air transport has continued to strike the tourist sector in Mogador for many years, said Mohammed Malal, who said he was very optimistic about the prospects of tourism that will benefit in terms of accessibility And attractiveness. On the side of the local tourist actors, it is radio silence. They do not communicate in any way about this project, and contribute even less than they are the first beneficiaries!
The director of the Essaouira airport still does not have the official version of the convention, while the president of the provincial council and the delegate of the Ministry of Tourism are still unreachable. The latter two have a serious problem of communication to be resolved knowing that they only use language in the context of occasional activities. Hicham Jbari, Mayor of Essaouira, welcomed the signing of this convention, which is important, especially as flight schedules will be adapted to the arrivals of new markets targeted by the city. It should be noted that the Essaouira city council grants the provincial tourism council an annual subsidy of 400 thousand dirhams in order to give the sector a new breath.

The Road to Ruin aka Holiday Report Pt. 3
By Justin Halliday 2017-01-04 Uncategorized
My original goal for The Road to Ruin was for it to be a 60-card game. However, as development progressed, it was apparent that the game would have to be larger. Instead, I settled for a couple of formats for the game:
Medium pro-box from The Game Crafter
120 Cards from DriveThruCards
The DriveThruCards version of the game was planned to only use cards, so the game had to work as a boxed game with dice and character tokens, or with dice cards and BYO character tokens. With this in mind, I laid out the materials for each of the games, and also costed out both versions. The costs are now out of date, so don't read into these...
So the unreleased DriveThruCards (cards only) version of the game, has 120-ish cards:
And the version for The Game Crafter is significantly different:
I even did a mock-up version of the box from The Game Crafter, and compared it to the actual version in this video:

All Inclusive in the Bahamas
All Inclusive in the Seychelles
Cabin cruise Seychelles
The Bahamas extends 760 miles from the coast of Florida on the north-west almost to Haiti on the south-east. The group consists of 700 islands and 2,400 cays with an area of 5,358 sq. miles (13,878 sq. km.). Thirty of the islands are inhabited.
The principal islands include Abaco, Acklins, Andros, Berry Islands, Bimini, Cat Island, Crooked Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Grand Bahama, Harbour Island, Inagua, Long Island, Mayaguana, New Providence (where the capital, Nassau, is located), Ragged Island, Rum Cay, San Salvador and Spanish Wells. The highest point in The Bahamas is 206-ft. Mount Alvernia on Cat Island. Once known as Como Hill, Mount Alvernia overlooks The Bight.
Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, is located on 21-mile-long New Providence, The Bahamas 11th largest island. Nassau's main harbor is protected by Paradise Island. The harbor attracted settlers in the early days, particularly pirates. In fact, Nassau's population consisted mainly of pirates until 1718, when The Bahamas first Royal Governor, Woodes Rogers expelled them, restored order and built Fort Nassau. The Bahamas for centuries adopted Rogers' motto, "Expulsis Piratis, Restituta Commercia," which means, "Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored." Now, 212,000 people call New Providence Island home, with a large portion of them residing in Nassau.
The marinas in Nassau & Paradise Island have fully functioning slips, most equipped with electric and water hook-ups and fuel. Some even have cable and Internet. The marina at Atlantis is the premier facility in The Bahamas, a luxury yacht harbor accommodating vessels of up to 220 feet.
The most refreshing time to explore is between September and May, when the temperature averages 21-24°C (70-75°F), with the more northerly islands around 5° cooler than the southern islands.
The rest of the year is a bit warmer, with higher humidity in the summer months and temperatures between 27 and 29°C (80-85°F).
Night-time temperatures are generally 5-7° cooler and sea surface temperatures vary between 23°C (74°F) in February and 29°C (84°F) in August.
Even paradise needs to cool off with a little rain now and then. The islands have rain year-round, which explains the lush vegetation. Squalls and thundershowers pass through quickly, so the rain never has to ruin your day. May and June are the months with most rain, typically with about twice as much falling in the northern islands as in the southern ones.
Hurricane season officially lasts from June to November.
The Abacos are a group of islands and cays that form a 120-mile–long chain stretching over 650 square miles. The coastlines are scalloped with bays, coves and protected harbors that feature full-service marinas and resorts. Great Abaco Island and Little Abaco serve as the "mainland." Marsh Harbour has a lively downtown area with all city amenities. Treasure Cay boasts miles of pristine beaches, including one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay are old English loyalist settlements, where you'll find beautifully preserved colonial architecture with a touch of Bahamian pastels, of course. And Guana Cay is famous for Sunday barbecues atop the island' s tall sand dune, which overlooks a magnificent 7-mile–long beach.
Boating Capital Of The World
The Abacos are one of the world' s top boating and sailing destinations and have been The Bahamas' boating capital since colonial times. The number and variety of islands make this an island hopper' s paradise.
With an entire chain of enchanting islands arrayed around a warm, calm sea, The Abacos are one of the world's best cruising and sailing areas and have been The Bahamas' boating capital since colonial times.
The tradition of building boats by hand (without plans) has been passed down for centuries in The Abacos. Some residents of Man-O-War Cay, known as the islands' boat-building center, still practice that trade, and are renowned for their superior workmanship.
Elbow Cay Lighthouse
Elbow Cay is home to The Abacos' most famous landmark—candy-striped Elbow Reef Lighthouse in Hope Town, built in 1862. It stands at 89 feet and is one of only a handful of manually operated lighthouses in the world.
The Exumas are an archipelago of 365 cays and islands, beginning just 35 miles southeast of Nassau. Once called Yumey and Suma (names of Amer-Indian origin), the islands have gone through many changes over the years. Today, they're divided into three major areas—Great Exuma, Little Exuma and The Exuma Cays. Each offers its own unique Bahamian experience. Great Exuma and Little Exuma are known for their laid-back surroundings, while The Exuma Cays act as a playground for the rich and famous, boasting numerous private homes, luxury resorts and beachside condos. The Exumas are also rich in history, as they were settled by British Loyalists with their slaves following the American Revolution.
There are docking facilities and six full-service marinas here, offering short or long-term dockage. Miles of cays and hidden coves make for some of the most spectacular sailing in The Bahamas, and frequent stops are recommended to really appreciate these picturesque islands.
Swimming Pigs
These "domesticated" pigs live on Major' s Spot Cay, and it' s uncertain how they got there. Whenever a boat arrives, they swim out to it and expect to be fed, a practice that' s been going on for years.
Moria Harbour Cay National Park
Covering 13,440 acres, it is a vital part of the ecosystem between Great and Little Exuma. It includes sand dunes, beaches, mangroves and sea grass beds, home to nesting seabirds and a nursery for marine life.
Tropic Of Cancer Beach
Named for its geographic coordinate and also called Pelican Beach, this graceful crescent of white-powder sand borders the translucent blue-green water along the coast of Little Exuma. It is the longest beach on the island and prettiest in the Exuma chain.
Rum Cay offers boaters a variety of interesting things to explore—spectacular beaches, hidden harbors, caves overlooking the sea and unique marine life—so that you can spend days on the water before seeing it all. There is no marina, although the best anchorage is near St. Georges Bay, nestled in the southeast corner of Rum Cay, just as you round the barrier reef in the protected waters of Port Nelson. A few tiny stores offer provisions, and a stop at the few quaint, island-style restaurants and bars is a must.
Citizens from countries other than the US and Canada are required to present a valid passport To enter The Bahamas, which must be current up to your travel period, and some countries are also required to have a Bahamas visa. If you are departing The Bahamas for a country that has the passport validity requirement of six (6) months beyond the dates of departure, then that requirement will be enforced. You must also have a return, or onward journey ticket, hotel confirmation (if staying at a hotel, or name and address of residence) and proof of funds to support your visit.
NOTE: If you are using an electronic ticket, please show Immigration a copy of your travel itinerary and ticket number.
PASSPORT refers to a valid passport from the individual' s country of birth.
VISA refers to a Bahamas visa only. If a person is born in one country and resident in another (other than the US or Canada), the documentation required is based upon the country of birth.

Last Wednesday, I popped up to New York City to fill in for our CEO, where he was scheduled to speak at a conference. I had never to be to NYC before so I especially jumped at the opportunity.
In NYC, I felt pretty overwhelmed. Everything is way bigger and more packed then Washington DC. Felt like if you stopped on the side walk for more then 5 seconds you were going to get run over. Yet, I needed to be able to find my way around.
My iPhone quickly became my best friend.
To be able to pull up Google Maps was amazing! With the triangulation feature, it was able to pull up where I was and use that as a base for the search. I could find a landmark or place super quickly.
I felt like I could maneuver my way through NYC without much of a problem.
It really demonstrated to me the power of having the Web in your pocket.
Never been to NYC before??
Thanks – you did great. I am proud of you!

Q: Problem with null in SQL query? select
    case
       when ''!='abcd'
           then 'nodate'
       else 'date'
    end;

Here I hope '' stand for null, but when I execute this query I am getting 'date' as an ouput, rather than 'nodate'. What is the problem in this query? Why does ''!='abcd' condition checking become true?

A: After looking at comments for this answer, here is the explaination -
In your example, '' is considered as NULL in Oracle and hence '' != 'abcd' is evaluated to UNKNOWN, which is the reason the 'else clause' result is returned (and not the 'when clause' result).
If you want to check some column for NULL explicitly mention it.
...case when columnName is NULL then ... else ... end

or if you are checking for some column value to be 'abcd' then use -
...case when columnName != 'abcd' then ... else ... end

A: If you want check for NULL, try this:
value IS NULL
So, if you want to replace '' with NULL, don't put NULL != 'abcd' but:
'abcd' IS NOT NULL

if there is a variable there and not '', try:
IF (l_variable != 'abcd) or (l_variable IS NULL)

It would be better however, to post complete code and not a modified part of it.

A: use NULL to check if the value is NULL, also see http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_case_statement_else_null_value.htm

A: I think what you want is
case when YourColumn is null then 'nodate' else 'yes date' end

This was supposed to be the update where I talk about the haircut and describe it as some sort of traumatic experience watching the locks fall to the floor, that won't be necessary as I'm actually pretty pleased with it! Erica provided some moral support and had her barnet done at the same time, she kept asking why I'd gone for such a dramatic look and I stuggled to come up with a concise justification but she simply proclaimed that she loved it and the conversation moved on!
Thankfully the team at Quinns in Okehampton are old-hat at pre-chemo haircuts and were able to give lots of advice on what to expect when it does start to fall out and when it does eventually grow back.
So here's the final result, I'm actually rather disappointed that I'm not going to have very long to get used to it but at least I know that short hair doesn't look ridiculous on me!
I'm meeting the chemotherapy nurses on Monday and will receive the first course at home the following day, I'm not expecting the initial effects to be overly dramatic but will be relieved once the chest-port is in place so that I don't need to worry about cannulas or tubes getting in the way of daily life.
The mistake that I did make was to Google the aspects of my pathology which I did not fully understand, if you ever have the misfortune of developing cancer I would strongly advise not to do that! I stumbled upon an NPI score (which was 6.7) and stupidly Googled it, once I realised that the score was the wrong side of what I was expecting it sent me into a bit of a panic, thankfully Nathan had spotted it long before me and had discussed it at length with people who know far more about these things than we do. Apparently the system was developed in the 1970's and calculates prognosis based on surgery alone, they tell me that chemo increases your chances by another 12% and radiotherapy adds another 10% to that; as we know, none of these things are certain but add my bloody-mindedness (which cannot be measured) and we have a pretty reasonable state of play!

Fortress Investment Group Unleashes The Milestones Achieved In A Couple Of Years
Within the past two years, the Fortress Investment Group has managed to attain various milestones. The milestones have helped in building a unique name for the financial firm in the finance industry. The company has been at the top of the game since 1998, when it was officially launched with its main offices in New York.
The firm expanded exponentially since when it was formed throughout the years. Due to the availability of highly experienced leaders at the company's helm, it has been easy for the firm to acquire potential investments with significant returns. It has acquired numerous investment projects, which have made the company grow to great heights.
The company is currently working on its project of opening other offices in different parts of the world. However, all the operations will be managed from the senior offices in the New York. This project is meant to diversify the company outreach and access more investors from different parts of the globe. Note that the firm accommodates both private and institutional investors.
The Fortress Investment Group has also announced its venture in the real estate industry, aiming to bring more modernized projects into existence. The firm has begun purchasing various products in the real estate industry as one of its plans to take control over the industry. In the past year, the firm joined the Japanese real estate industry, where it has acquired the skills of approaching the industry.
In 2019, the Fortress Investment Group purchased numerous rental properties, which are currently under its management. This led to the growth of the company's real estate portfolio, considered one of the milestones achieved in the year. During the same year, the firm was purchased by Softbank Group Corporation via a heavy transaction.
This is said to be one of the most remarkable transactions made in the history of the Fortress Investment Group operations since its formation two decades ago.

And Who Didn't See This Coming?
From our friends at Tubefilter:
The Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog sequel rumors have been flying since days after the web musical premiered online last summer. Still, despite strong desire from fans and the cast themselves, there wasn't any movement on the 'Dr. H 2' mostly due to creator Joss Whedon's primary commitment to his FOX series Dollhouse. But this week there's new confirmation that the project is moving forward.
During a conference call to promote the new season of Dollhouse, Whedon somewhat officially confirmed that a sequel is going to happen:
The main question, he says, is whether he does it "on a shoe string again" or goes bigger budget and "invites other people into the process." Either way, he promises that it won't affect the storyline. (via TV Guide)
In terms of those "other people in the process," we do hear that Whedon is shopping a digital studio proposal around Hollywood, including to the major studios, looking to raise investment in the $5 million range, according to sources. The unnamed Whedon studio will apparently look to produce four original web series a year, two of which will be directed by Whedon himself. One of those two will be the above mentioned Dr. Horrible sequel.
Hell - Might as well just paste it all up:
By Tubefilter Research estimates, the Streamy-winning show grossed just under $2.5 million, a number that was later reported by in a recent Forbes feature on Whedon. With a production budget just over $200,000, that's not a bad return on investment (12x). But the question remains can he strike web gold again?
The revenue was largely driven through digital download sales at iTunes partly by accident as the initial release took down the free streaming version on the Dr. Horrible site itself. This, and the short initial window on Hulu caused thousands of fans to pay the $3.99 for the full season. Then there was the highly touted DVD release right in time for the holidays that featured the artfully crafted musical cast and crew commentary. The business model proposed for the new studio would follow that same paid-download and DVD model.
As for the title of Dr. Horrible's new season, it's anyone's guess at this point. The NY Post unsuccessfully tried to sneak it out of Nathan Fillion during an interview about Castle, though Fillion did say he knew what it was.
Also to be determined is whether or not web star Felicia Day will return in some way after her character Penny was killed in the show's surprising finale. This is Whedon we're talking about here and who knows, it's possible Penny could return, as one fan postulates, as Dr. Horrible's evil clone/robot girlfriend.
A good first step.
But what's interesting are the recent opposing articles articles by the Hollywood Reporter and by Variety. HReporter taking the position that the "Long Tail" isn't working, and Variety showcasing Whedon as someone who caters to a niche.
So which is it? If the Long Tail isn't working and you can't make a profit from a niche (or rather people don't flock to niches as previously thought), then how does Whedon, who Variety characterizes as never having a "hit tv show" able to make his niche work and find financing? How is he able to make $2.5 M from a $200K investment and share that with everyone involved?
I think that what needs to happen is a lot of discussion as to the methodology of the study HR sites in their article, and a redefinition of what constitutes a "niche." I personally think that someone could make a lot of good money from creating content for specific niches - superheroes, steampunk, splatterpunk, alien invasion porn, etc... and spread that content out across many different platforms and revenue streams.
We live in interesting times.

I SENT you that epic script MARS ATTACKS DA BOOTY! and YOU said you read it!
Yet another example to the young ones that producers will never ever read your material.
EVAR.
Yeah yeah -- how do you know when a producer is lying? He's TALKING! Ha!
'Scuse me, I gotta get back to this model who's waiting for me in my hot tub...
S. Harlan Cone said...
The trick is getting close to that success without being Joss Whedon or Felicia Day.
I mean, I'm gonna try. But I'm not holding my breath on it. :)
Well to be fair and very very honest - Felicia Day wasn't "Felicia day" until she launched THE GUILD and had it running for a year.
Quit fucking deifying these people. They are human beings. Respect and honor their work, their craft but quit thinking they have some magic formula, please.
The formula is called hard work. Persistence. Dedication. Networking. Mentoring. Development.
It didn't happen overnight for them either.

Q: Joining 2 Dataframes on multiple columns Pandas Consider 2 Dataframes and need to use joining of 2 dataframes by 2 unique columns (idA, idB) and compute sum of their col Distance
. By the way (idA,idB) is equal to (idB,idA), so their Distance has to be summed
In [1]: df1 = pd.DataFrame({'idA': ['1', '2', '3', '2'],
   ...:                     'idB': ['1', '4', '8', '1'],
   ...:                     'Distance': ['0.727273', '0.827273', '0.127273', '0.927273']},
   ...:                     index=[0, 1, 2, 3])
   ...:

In [2]: df2 = pd.DataFrame({'idA': ['1', '5', '2', '5'],
   ...:                     'idB': ['2', '1', '4', '7'],
   ...:                     'Distance': ['0.11', '0.1', '3.0', '0.8']},
   ...:                      index=[4, 5, 6, 7])

The output has to be this way:
    Sum_Distance    idA idB
  0  0.727273       1   1
  1  3.827273       2   4  <-- 2,4 = 3.0 + 2,4 = 0.827273
  2  0.127273       3   8
  3  1.037273       2   1  <-- 2,1 = 0.927273 + 1,2 = 0.11
  4  0.1            5   1
  5  0.8            5   7

Help find the way how to do it using Pandas/Spark.

A: First convert to numeric both columns and then use add with set_index for align and sort each pair of columns per rows:
df1['Distance'] = df1['Distance'].astype(float)
df2['Distance'] = df2['Distance'].astype(float)

#if some data are not parseable convert them to NaNs
#df1['Distance'] = pd.to_numeric(df1['Distance'], errors='coerce')
#df2['Distance'] = pd.to_numeric(df2['Distance'], errors='coerce')

df1[['idA','idB']] = np.sort(df1[['idA','idB']], axis=1)
df2[['idA','idB']] = np.sort(df2[['idA','idB']], axis=1)

print (df1)
   Distance idA idB
0  0.727273   1   1
1  0.827273   2   4
2  0.127273   3   8
3  0.927273   1   2

print (df2)
   Distance idA idB
4      0.11   1   2
5      0.10   1   5
6      3.00   2   4
7      0.80   5   7

df3=df1.set_index(['idA','idB']).add(df2.set_index(['idA','idB']),fill_value=0).reset_index()
print (df3)
  idA idB  Distance
0   1   1  0.727273
1   1   2  1.037273
2   1   5  0.100000
3   2   4  3.827273
4   3   8  0.127273
5   5   7  0.800000

Another solution with concat and groupby with aggregate sum:
df3 = pd.concat([df1, df2]).groupby(['idA','idB'], as_index=False)['Distance'].sum()
print (df3)
  idA idB  Distance
0   1   1  0.727273
1   1   2  1.037273
2   1   5  0.100000
3   2   4  3.827273
4   3   8  0.127273
5   5   7  0.800000

A: df1.Distance=pd.to_numeric(df1.Distance)
df2.Distance=pd.to_numeric(df2.Distance)
df=pd.concat([df1.assign(key=df1.idA+df1.idB),df2.assign(key=df2.idA+df2.idB)]).\
    groupby('key').agg({'Distance':'sum','idA':'first','idB':'first'})
df
Out[672]:
     Distance  idA  idB
key
2    0.727273    1    1
3    1.037273    2    1
6    3.927273    2    4
11   0.127273    3    8
12   0.800000    5    7

Updated
df1[['idA','idB']]=np.sort(df1[['idA','idB']].values)
df2[['idA','idB']]=np.sort(df2[['idA','idB']].values)

pd.concat([df1,df2]).groupby(['idA','idB'],as_index=False).Distance.sum()
