There is no change in 6.2.1 (compared to 6.2) that could affect the Wacom pen interaction. Is there something changed in your machine configuration?
We heard other reports of Lr 6.2/LR CC 2015.2 works well with Mac OS X 10.11, and Wacom driver 6.3.14-1.
Hi Simon. This is a Windows user, not Mac. Did anything change between 6.1.1 and now for Wacom on Windows? I know you fixed some Mac bugs.
someone told me to check if "use windows ink" is unchecked in the wacom settings.
when i installed the new driver this was on by default.
it made no difference earlier if i had that checked or not... but now it seems to have an influence.
the performance is still not perfect but the lag is much smaller after i unchecked "use windows ink".
A problem I have similar to this is when cropping images: cropping lags and takes 1-5 seconds to finish. Trying to find out why, have even bought a new Wacom Infos Medium Pro (HTP651), but the problem persists. The news update for Wacom is also tried.
Thanks for posting this. I was banging my head on this one too although I knew it wasn't the new version of LIghtroom that was causing it since I had not upgraded it. Mine issue was the "windows ink" option check too. I have now solved my issue.
2. Using the same utility remove the existing driver completely.
5. Reapply the backed up settings and see if the problem comes back. This will tell us if the issue is the settings that is causing the problem.
One year has passed, but the problem still exists.
There is still lag when dragging slider and especially annoying when trying to use spot removal tool.
The only solution at the moment is to disable Windows Ink in Wacom settings. But this disable also pen pressure function.
I have the older Graphire4 tablet, works fine in all my software including LR5.7, but is hopeless in LR6.2.1. I have contacted Wacom and tried different drivers - none improved performance. Why does this seem to be always LR6 specific? I have seen many posts from Adobe suggesting it is drivers but cannot make any work with LR6. Get anew tablet! Why should I, it works just fine with other software on Windows 8.1, i5, NvidaTi650.
I have the same issue with sliders in Lightroom since Lightroom 5. (Don't remember about Lightroom 4 but more likely it was not such a problem there). All sliders in Photoshop and ACR work perfectly well with my Wacom Intuos. Problem appears in Lightroom only.
On my Mac, I'm only seeing a serious lag when moving the Temperature slider - but it is one the most processor intensive function in Develop.
Are all sliders slow? Or just specific ones such as Temperature?
Hi All, I have now experimented along Jeffrey's lines of thinking. I tired with and without GPU acceleration, on hi res NEF raw, DNG's from NEF, JPEG's from these files, also lower res JPEG files from my compact camera, and some TIFF files from my scanner, sad to say the performance was the exactly the same on the sliders using the pen. My wireless Logitech mouse works fine.
I also noticed a slight lag in using the corner handles on the crop tool and the healing brush. I find that tapping and holding on the slider rails gets the machines attention but I have to drag the pen about one third the way across the rail before the pointer snaps into position, then it follows the pen. This is true for all the sliders in the Develop Module. I know my tablet is old but it worked fine in LR5.7. Reducing the LR window had no effect on my monitor (Dell 27" 2560 x 1440).
I also have the same issue with the slider lag when using Wacom pen. In the same form, on almost the same PC (Win10) as Tanja reported. The pen with Wacom works well everywhere else (Windows apps, CS6, CS5, etc), but Lightroom 6. The trick with disabling "Windows Ink" did not work well, since when disabled, the mouse pointer is not shown when using the pen. Generally, even if sliders work, LR 6.2.1 gets slower and slower in the course of use, whereas it i not visible on the system load. I have to restart it all 30 or 40 min. Terrible! LR 6.2 was the worst update ever!
I have the same issue with slow sliders but its fast and smooth to paint masks ect? I'm using a New Wacom Intous Pro on a 2012 Retina MacBook pro i7-2.7Ghz with 16GB ram OS X 10.10.5 and I'm using Lightroom 6.1.1 due to massive issues with the latest Lightroom.
Same with me. i7, Windows10, current LR 2015.3. Up to 2015.1 everything was fine, ever since one of the following updates am suffering a terrible lag when trying grabbing development sliders. With the mouse it's fine, also my Intuos 4 works perfect with every other application.
It is specifically the response of the sliders when being touched by the pen. It is not LR being sluggish to respond to slider movements, this is quite fine (means normal). When I touch the slider, I immediately see the small spreading circles around the pen tip (so the tap somehow gets trough), but I cannot drag the slider, it will just refuse to move. The only thing that works is tapping on the wanted position of the slider (not grabbing it by the knob). When doing so, the slider knob jumps with a delay of 1 to 2 seconds to the tapped position. When tapping and dragging to a desired position, the slider will not move, even when I wait for several seconds to wait for a move.
Te problem definitely started to show up when I updated to some of these dysfunctional recent updates (can't exactly remember which) and persists now even with LR cc 2105.3. I tried all kinds of wacom drivers, no relief. I cannot get back to the perfectly working response I had since LR4.
I am stuck completely, cannot move forward neither back. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
I have same problem on my iMac, running El Capitan and LR 6.3. I updated Wacom drivers but the problem remains. I still have LR 5.7 on my machine and it works fine so I would conclude that this is a bug in LR not a Wacom bug. It is most noticeable when trying to crop & rotate (say, to fix a horizon).
Raised the issue with Adobe, they said it's a permissions problem with my internal HD. I find that response bizarre in the extreme and would surmise that Adobe don't know what the problem is! I repaired permissions to be on the safe side - no joy.
Does anyone out there (especially at Adobe) have a clue how to fix this?
Anyone still having this issue in 6.2: updating LR from 6.2. doesn't seem to do the trick (from what others say). The way I fixed mine: I went through a lot of hoops to downgrade back 6.1 (because that was the last version that worked) and remove any trace of 6.2 from my comp. I then allowed the Adobe Cloud app to update my LR only when 6.3 was available. That seems to have fixed the issue. I.e. 6.3 works seamlessly on both my computers, both with an Intuous 4 and a Bamboo.
you, guys, really really really messed up with v. 6.2 and you already know that. Kindly stop making people go through the pain of installing and reinstalling Wacom drivers and saving files to be sent to an Adobe engineer (we are your clients, not your beta testers - please, please remember that!). Please just accept that you shot yourself in the foot (and sent a large amount of pro photogs over to Capture One) and keep the clients that are still hanging around by coming up with a "fix app" that will do the clean uninstall of 6.2 and reinstall of 6.3 directly, something I had to do by hand and wasted a few good hours on it. The upgrade to 6.3 only fixes the Wacom issues if 6.2 is completely gone from the system.
My path to 6.3 was through each upgrade from the original LR6 on disc, how do I re-install directly to 6.3 and safe guard all my catalogues?
Adobe - you need to publish something my pen is gathering dust.
Uninstall, reinstall from the disc, then let it update straight to 6.3.
In response to Ramo-glad your solution worked for you but I never had 6.2 on my system because I never installed it so there cannot be any 'leftovers'. I went straight from 6.1 to 6.3 yet my Wacom pen tablet still does not work properly! I also uninstalled then re-installed LR6 then upgraded straight to 6.3 - still no joy.
Anyone else got any bright ideas because Adobe clearly haven't!
The only way to get rid of the lag for me is to disable Use Windows Ink in the Wacom control panel. But doing this disables pressure sensitivity.
Has this bug even been acknowledged by Adobe?
Sadly my Bamboo driver does not have a "Windows Ink" option. I have had various versions on advice from Wacom and the current version works best - but not with LR 6.3.
The same lag happens in my case (Windows 10, Wacom Graphire-4 XL). In Photoshop no problem, but in Lightroom CC there is a lag that makes the tablet unusable in editing images in Development. Installed new drivers, tried all kinds of preferences in the tabletdriver and the Windows pentablet driver, nothing helps. The same happened a few years ago with other applications but that disappeared. There must be a fundamental error in the wacom driver architecture i.m.o. I would like to buy a new Wacom pad but won't do it untill this has been resolved for good.
yesss. Thankyou. Unchecking windows ink solved this problem for me too.
I can't believe this problem is still here at 2015.8. PS used to have it, but is fine now. AMD A8-3500M, Windows 10, Intuos Pro small.
It's intensely aggravating, to say the least.
I should also add that it's not just sliders, but ALL user input from the pen that requires any threshold of movement. Like Starting grad, radilal filters- tilting them, and even including the scrollbar sliders in the filmstrip and panels. It even affect plugins, as well - like JF Metadata Presets plugin, for instance.
As others have said, this is not an issue of adjustment responsiveness in the preview. It is strictly a UI issue of slider movement threshold with the pen. Mouse is fine.
I've tried all found suggestions to fix it. But in the end I have to choose between either having pen pressure sensitivity or responsive slider movement via the Wacom 'Windows Ink" setting.
Since a few months I am working with Lightroom Classic CC in combination with a Wacom Intuos size medium (model PTH 651) and Wiindows 10 version 1703. The Wacom driver is version 6.3.24-5. The lag doesn't manifest itself there any more. Thank you all for your comments.
FINALLY! After all these years, it now seems to be fixed here!!! WOW! Just.. WOW!
Crossing everything that can be crossed, hope against all hope - that it stays that way.
So, was it the updated Wacom driver that did it? I can't seem to solve the problem.
Unfortunately I can't exactly remember what it was anymore. I don't think it was a driver update though - I think it was a LR Classic update that fixed it.
I have the latest LR Classic but it still does not work. Although Wacom does not do well with driver updates it very well could be a Wacom driver update. Thank you, I will keep looking for a solution.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lightroom: Pen pressure not working with Wacom Intuos pro (merging).
I use Windows 8.1 with the Wacom driver version 6.3.13w3.When i use the diagnostic function of the Wacom driver i kan control the pressure between 0...100%.Also in in Photoshop 2015.01.1 the pen pressure function for the brushes works fine. So i'm sure the hardware is working properly.But when i try the pressure function with the adjustmentbrush in Lightroom (also version 2015.1.1) i can see no difference between pushing the pen hard or soft.I have not yet made application specific settings in the Wacom-driver. I only made some small changes for the "All Other" applications.It looks to me that the problem is in Lightroom. Maybe i've a wrong setting in Lightroom but i could't find any tablet or pen specific setting in Lightroom.I just found out that the problem is related to the 'Use windows-inkt' option in the Wacon driver.If i switch the option to on, it looks like the pen-pressure function is working but then there is a lag of some mm in operating the sliders in the control-panels.If i switch the 'Use windows-inkt' off, then the pen-pressure funtion isn't working at all but operating the sliders works very precise.So i don't know what to do to make it work nice.

Louis Prang was born in present day Poland (then part of Prussia), March 24, 1824. Under the tutelage of his father, a printer of calico textiles, and learned the art of dyeing, engraving and printing. He then spent his young adulthood travelling through Germany, learning from other calico printers, as well as working in a paper mill as a chemist. As a young man, he became involved in the politics of the German Revolution in 1848 and was forced to flee the country. He arrived in New York two years later, working at various printing establishments before settling in Boston and marrying Rosa Gerber, a woman he had met in Paris in 1846. It was his wife who encouraged him when he began in the partnership of Prang & Mayer in 1856. He learned the art of lithography from his business partner, Julius Mayer. The new firm's first published lithograph was an image of roses, inspired by his wife's love of the flower, and published in an 1857 issue of The Ladies' Companion. He remained with the firm until 1860, when he bought out his partner and went into business by himself under the new firm name of L. Prang & Company.
The new business Prang began faced many challenges, but he turned these challenges into opportunities. The nation was becoming divided and war was imminent. When the Civil War broke out, it was suggested to Prang to print a map of Charleston Harbor illustrating a battle at Fort Sumter. The map was a financial success, and Prang followed it up with numerous maps of the southern battles that were published as soon as possible for those interested in following the battles. At the same time, the company was publishing other items related to the war, including colored "album cards," which were usually sold in packs of twelve and sold for fifty cents a set. Many of these cards featured scenes by war illustrator and celebrated painter Winslow Homer. Other album cards featured more pleasant scenes of animals, local landscapes and flowers.
During the Civil War, in 1864, Prang and his family traveled back to Europe, where Prang studied European color lithographic methods. He also met and convinced a handful of artists to come to Boston and work for him. Upon his return, he produced his first chromolithographs in 1866, a set of Cuban scenes. His next chromos were a set of two landscapes by Boston artist Alfred T. Bricher, including "Early autumn on Esopus Creek." Though these first attempts were not commercially successful, other genre scenes including Arthur Tait's "Group of chickens" were, and Prang's business prospered enough to warrant a new factory in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1867.
Prang began publishing a journal and catalog of his chromos beginning in 1867 to further market his oil-painting-like prints. The success of these prints propelled Prang's business. He won numerous medals for his works, and orders came in from all over the world to buy these prints, including from South America and India. Eventually, Prang opened offices in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, with foreign agents in London, Berlin and Melbourne, Australia.
While exhibiting his work at the Vienna World's Fair in 1873, Prang was advised by the wife of his London agent to sell his floral-designed business cards as Christmas cards. Prang agreed, and after testing the cards in Europe in 1874, introduced them to the American market in 1875. The cards were wildly successful and presented little-known artists and art students, many of them female, to the public.
Prang's interest in art and printing methods also led him to be an advocate of public school art education, a concern that fueled his later career after he sold his art business in 1897. Beginning in the 1860s, Prang published drawing books and sets of drawing cards for beginners to copy from, and by the 1870s he was publishing art education texts for use in public and art schools. Mary Dana Hicks, a former art teacher in Syracuse, New York, helped Prang realize his goals for art education. He convinced Hicks to move to Boston, where she became an advocate for art education beginning as young as kindergarten, and eventually became the director of the Prang Normal Art Classes, and eventually became his second wife. After Prang sold his interest in the art company in 1897 to the Taber Company in Springfield, Massachusetts, he spent his retirement travelling with Hicks promoting his educational texts and art supplies. Prang died in 1909, at the age of 85, of pneumonia while on one of these marketing trips in California with his wife.

We only want the best. The minute we figure out what the best it, the next thing we try to know is how to get it.
When it comes to house insurance, everyone wants to go for the best. In order for you to get the best house insurance, it is very important to own your residence and choose the policy that you are committing to carefully.
Financial guides are there to provide you with the policy provisions of insurance companies. By reading these carefully, you can decide whether the plan and the policy they offer you is what you need.
This is one thing you should always keep in mind. The best home insurance plan is the one that gives you the most of your money's worth. As a customer, you should get what you are paying for.
It helps to ask your agent or your insurance broker the questions you have in your head. That's another sign of best house insurance.
If the staff is well-trained and knowledgeable of the products and services of the insurance company and can determine your insurance estimate just by looking at your requirements, then you can be assured that they will give you what you deserve.
An insurance company that also offers you tips on how you can qualify for discounts and more benefits can easily be called the best home insurance policy. Just make sure that you are indeed getting the benefits and discounts that they promised you'd acquire.
Generally, the best house insurance covers loss of belongings in case of theft, fire, and other natural disasters. If there is a property of yours that you must be replaced because it has been stolen, damaged or destroyed, an indication of the best house insurance is that it will pay part of the cost, or better yet, cover the entire thing.
It also protects you from liability lawsuits. This happens when you are sued by someone whose property has been damaged and you are liable for it. Your house insurance will cover part of it.
Here's a tip. If you find the best house insurance for your lifestyle and your budget, keep it. There are many homeowners and renters who are still searching for the best house insurance for them and are having a hard time. You finally have yours. Don't take it for granted.

Q: Howto construct MigrateSQLMap in a composite key scenario How can we instantiate a MigrateSQLMap in case if a table had composite primary key?

A: As MigrateSQLMap takes an array, you can set multiple fields in the source definition:
// The source ID here is the one retrieved from each data item in the XML file, and
// used to identify specific items
$this->map = new MigrateSQLMap($this->machineName,
  array(
    'vendor_code' => array(
      'type' => 'varchar',
      'length' => 250,
      'not null' => TRUE,
    ),
    'client_code' => array(
      'type' => 'varchar',
      'length' => 250,
      'not null' => TRUE,
    ),
  ),
  MigrateDestinationEntityAPI::getKeySchema('vendor')
);

In the code above, *vendor_code* and *client_code* are the components of the composite key.

Irish Pop
[Music] Markus Feehily – Love Is A Drug (review)
April 24, 2015 April 24, 2015 ~ Robert Gould	~ Leave a comment
Available to buy on iTunes
For those feeling cheated by British singer Sam Smith's reluctance to exhume the soulful magnetism that once allowed Disclosure's "Latch" to reach its zenith of house-garage nirvana from whatever crypt the success of his frumpy debut In The Lonely Hour consigned it to, Markus Feehily may have found the perfect remedy with "Love Is A Drug".
For his first solo release, the former Westlife stalwart eschews the flavourless pap that remains de rigueur for ex-boyband members – be they Irish balladeers or neutered one-time hit-makers – for a brooding slice of breakbeat-pop. With Feehily's smooth tenor gliding through swathes of swollen strings from the track's opening moments, Massive Attack's trip-hop classic "Unfinished Sympathy" appears to be the obvious exemplar for the track.
The drawing of parallels between love and drugs may be one of the most burnt out lyrical tropes in pop music, but Feehily's delivery sets an almost overwhelmingly raw and personal tone. Meanwhile, a recurring motif of "looking up at the stars" helps ground the song's lyrical and aural histrionics – a foreboding choir emerges during the final lap to plump up an already anthemic chorus – in a recognisably dissonant romantic situation.


In Kirtomy Migmatite Suit in Sutherland, Scotland, the deformation-enhanced melt extraction occurs rapidly. The leucosomes have low Zr content and positive Eu anomalies. They are unable to get equilibrated in the accessory phases. The geochemical and petrographic characteristics of partial melting in pelitic and semi-pelitic lithologies, and their major and trace element analysis supports this conclusion. The accessory phases bearing the rare-earth-elements, remain as residual phase and get concentrated in the melanosome and the melanosome-leucosome boundary.

A study of the impacts of feldspar on dihedral angles in the quartz-H2O-CO2 system at four kbar and between 450 and 1,050 degrees centigrade reveals dihedral angles in feldspar-bearing quartz quantities as similar to those in pure quartz quantities below 500 degrees centigrade, above which temperature and dihedral angles are inversely proportional. The temperature-induced change of quartz-albite-H2O from nonconnected to connected permeability is a probable regulator of porosity of high-grade rocks to aqueous liquids.
A study was conducted to determine the time of formation and the metamorphism of quartz-feldspar rocks of the Gnesis-Eclogite Unit (GEU) of the Variscan Erzgebirge, Germany. Results showed that after high pressure/high temperature equilibration, the GEU experienced strong near-isothermal decompression at high temperatures, extensive re-equilibration at medium pressures and fast cooling during continued uplift. Moreover, the tectono-evolution and protolith formation occurred between 470 and 524 Ma.

Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), two Israeli arms companies thatassist Israel with the construction of its apartheid wall and supply drones to the Israeli military, have pulled out of a major international aerospace industry convention in Toulouse, in southern France, following a campaign led by BDS Sud-Ouest.
The two military companies participated in the 2010 Aeromart Business Convention and had been listed as participant's in this year's convention, which started on 4 December. But in the wake of a 60-strong demonstration outside the convention center on its opening morning, event organizers announced that Elbit Systems and IAI had "at the last moment decided not to participate in the event." The companies were worried about the damage to their reputation and further demonstrations taking place during the convention, according to information recieved by campaigners.
The campaign against the appearance of Israeli companies at the convention began in February, originally targetting local government bodies involved in the convention, and recieved radio and TV coverage.
In its report Precisely Wrong, Human Rights Watch detailed the use of drones provided by Elbit Systems and IAI in the killing of civilians during the 2008-09 Gaza massacre. Armaments provided by the two companies were surely used during Israel's latest assault on Gaza. In its promotional materials, Elbit Systems boasts that its drones are "field tested," by which it means that their deadly power has been demonstrated on Palestinian civilians.
Several European financial institutions including the Norwegian state pension fund, Danske Bank and ABP have divested from Elbit Systems. Slowly but surely, theboycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement is showing that there is a price to pay for being part of Israel's military machine.
52 public figures including Nobel prize winners, artists, writers and academics issued a call for a military embargo on Israel in the wake of the attack on Gaza last month (full text here). The Palestinian BDS National Committee launched a campaign for a military embargo on Israel on 9 July 2011.


Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has confirmed that he'll retire from professional football at the end of the 2018/19 football season.
Petr Cech has long established himself as one of the legendary shot-stoppers in the Premier League and in the game, having won 4 Premier League titles with former club Chelsea.
"This is my 20th season as a professional player and it has been 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of this season.
"Having played 15 years in the Premier League, and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved everything I set out to achieve.
The goalie who is currently at Arsenal has been replaced by Bernd Leno as number 1 and feels this is the best time to call time on his legendary football career.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly set to offer him a job next season after his retirement. Daily Mail have claimed that the Blues have offered Petr Cech an ambassadorial role in the club's academy.
The 36-year old has already begun acquiring his coaching badges and is eager to make his next adventure in the world of football management.

The light transmission performance is good, the photosynthesis is vigorous, the temperature is high, and the output is naturally high. Can increase 10-25%. The crops grow fast, and generally put into the market for 5-10 days.
The UV transmission rate of ordinary films is very low, and the moderate UV transmittance of the PO film makes it possible to approximate the field planting environment. Planted crops are brightly colored, uniform, with good taste and superior quality.
The use of high-tech antioxidants and light stabilizers greatly prolongs the service life of the agricultural film. Normal service life can reach more than 3 years.
The use of anti-fogging and drop-dropping agent to apply drying treatment can suppress the generation of fog, and the mist-dropping period can be synchronized with the service life of the agricultural film.

Q: Is there a way to issue a DisableSecureEventInput command in Terminal on a Mac? I have 2 apps that issue an EnableSecureEventInput when they are launched, but they do not issue a DisableSecureEventInput when quit, this stops me from using some shortcut apps like Typinator.
I realise that I could just re-boot my Mac, but that's pretty inconvenient every time I use one of these apps, so I would like to know how to do this via terminal if it is possible.
I have searched everywhere that I can think of, but have just drawn a complete blank so far, and I've contacted the developer about the issue, but I'm not too hopeful for a response.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
MacOS Catalina version 10.15.7

A: I've since found out that this isn't possible. DisableSecureEventInput has to be issued by the app that issued the EnableSecureEventInput. This is a security requirement, and thinking about it now, that makes sense.

January 11, 2010 - Mortgage rates began the New Year stabilizing after a slow four-week upward climb. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday that December's unemployment rate remained unchanged at 10%. Market participants are tracking employment as a rebound in jobs is seen as essential in any sustained recovery.
Despite the 85,000 jobs lost last month, November's employment numbers were revised to show a net gain of 4,000 jobs. November was the first month of job growth in two years. Other economic indicators also pointed to an economy that is beginning to gain some footing. The ISM Manufacturing Index grew at its fastest pace since April 2006. In its fifth consecutive monthly expansion, the index rose to 55.9 % from the 53.6 % recorded in November. Additionally, factory orders increased 1.1% to 365.30 billion.
This week contains plenty of data that could push mortgage rates either way. The government's current program of buying mortgage-backed securities is set to expire in March but there is talk that it may be extended and slowly phased out over the course of 2010 which would portend well for mortgage rates in the near and intermediate term. With private mortgage buyers still on shaky ground, this is welcome news if it comes to fruition.

(Re)discovering Old Dhaka
Saqib Sarker , Saqib Sarker
Published at 06:08 pm June 8th, 2017
When you try to look at the chronicle of life on Earth, you can't help but feel that everything in this world comes full circle. Doctors are encouraging natural remedies before prescribing advanced medicine, the system of capitalism is increasingly being recognised as dehumanising and the sufferers are clamouring for a socially benevolent economy, and the days when a lone traveller in an alien land can seek refuge in the house of a random citizen are back. Not quite like that though – you have to have an email account first. But the idea is to utilise that social connection and trust to provide accommodation to people who, for one reason or many, would prefer not to stay at a hotel while abroad. The now well-known hospitality service broker, Airbnb, was founded on the same principle. People can list their apartment/house with Airbnb, which then enables tourists to request lodging at that residence. The host is free to set the price he wants. With over a staggering three million lodging listings across 191 countries, you are likely to find one in all unlikely places, even in Old Dhaka. The man who opened up an Airbnb listing in Old Dhaka two years ago is Suman Roy. A media professional by weekdays and a tour guide by weekends, Suman listed his house on Airbnb purely because of his passion for other cultures and ways of life. But opening up the listing is not Suman's only achievement, neither is it his most remarkable. Before getting into what makes his little hosting service an attraction, learning about Suman would be helpful. An avid reader of all travel books ('even Lonely Planet', he quips), Suman found out about Airbnb in a magazine. He then quickly set up the lodging and waited. But nothing happened.
Suman and Lopa's extraordinary passion and care for the guests earned Suman the 'Superhost' medal on Airbnb
He had forgotten about the whole thing, until after eight months from putting up the listing, someone called. "It was an American guy who was a pilot. He wanted to visit Dhaka for just a day but had a very small budget," Suman recalled. Suman picked up the guest at the airport with his bike, brought him back home in Old Dhaka and showed him around. This was the beginning of hosting for Suman and his wife Lopa Roy two years ago. Since then, Suman and Lopa have hosted numerous guests from many different countries and of many different nationalities. Suman and Lopa's extraordinary passion and care for the guests earned Suman the 'Superhost' medal on Airbnb. Suman humbly refuses any credit on his part other than being passionate about what he does. Despite being born and brought up in Old Dhaka and growing up with the knowledge of a native, Suman did not realise how much he didn't know until he started to seriously read about the history of Old Dhaka. "I can now visualise the transformation the old places have come through," he said. Even though he had been able to show around and answer all questions from his guests when he first started doing this, some of the questions asked by the guests left Suman unsatisfied and he embarked upon a quest to gather more knowledge about his birthplace. He bought all the history books he could find and started going out for walks every morning with his DSLR. He took pictures of old buildings and combined his knowledge from reading with his experience from exploring. As a result, Suman can now help his guests see those visual images he can construct from his reading and exploring. And that is part of what makes his guests' stay so gratifying. His wife Lopa also offers classical dance lessons to guests who are interested. "I loved Suman's tour of the unseen corners of their neighbourhood. Lopa and Suman are why I use Airbnb," wrote Yasmin from Toronto, Canada on the Airbnb site. Jarvis from Singapore said that Lopa and Suman took care of him like family and he "had the chance to discover an authentic old Dhaka experience, this is as real and as good as it gets." The great service and unique experience this couple offers continue to attract travellers from across the globe. Emma from Los Angeles, California, wrote in her review that the couple showed her a magical part of Dhaka that she never would have discovered without them. "I can't even quite put into words how moving this experience was for me," Emma wrote. The reviews on Suman's Airbnb page cannot stop singing praises for his hospitality. Suman provided an "incredible information loaded and personalised tour of Old Dhaka from a lifelong residents perspective," wrote Tony from Boston, Massachusetts. Jamie from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia wrote that she and her co-travellers not only had a blast but "made an extended family in Bangladesh." When asked if he would be interested to start an Old Dhaka guided tour service for domestic tourists, Suman said that he is interested, and has been planning it for some time. Having a full time job however, he is uncertain if he will ever be able to materialise those plans. But Suman dreams on.

I.T. Farmer's Blog | Learning how to grow food, from an IT guys perspective.
It's been an unseasonable cool summer, with what seems like twice the normal amount of rain. I've only had to water the garden in the first few weeks after it was planted, and I haven't touched it since. The crops are still doing very well for the most part. Thankfully this new garden area is on a decent slope, just like all my others have been.
I managed to dump two large dump truck loads of manure on the top end of the garden, and I spread it out fairly well with the tractor. Unfortunately when you dump an entire truck load in one spot, it compacts the manure at the bottom and it was quite difficult to spread that last six inches or so of fertilizer. In this area, I planted my winter squashes: Waltham Butternut, Acorn, Spaghetti and new for me this year: Bush Squash.
I had started about five zucchini plants in the greenhouse, and planted an entire row nearby from seeds. Nearly 50 plants emerged from the soil, and many of them have began full on zucchini production. I don't think it needs to be written, but I will be buried under piles of green goodness in a few short weeks time.
Another great crop this year has been the cucumbers. I've planted a mixture of seeds from previous years, and three types seem to be doing quite well. Straight 8, Boston Pickling and another strange elongated variety have produced nearly four shopping bags of cucumbers. What a great year for Mother to be making pickles, as I usually round up the cucumbers and drop them off for Mom to can them.
Tomatoes haven't done as well this year as in the past, but their short stature hasn't stopped them from going into full on production. I will have way too many tomatoes again this year. I blame the copious amounts of blue water that I spread over them while applying anti-blight spray. (The water is colored blue by the Miracle Grow plant food I use).
This year my focus is once again on machinery, and pushing myself out of my own comfort zone. You see this dozer has been a great piece of machinery that I've accomplished a good amount of work with, but one day the engine started making a serious and steady banging sound. It had to be removed and repaired before the entire engine became unusable.
Once again, I turned to my friend Shayne to guide me through the process. I've worked on engines a few times in the past, but it's not something that comes second nature to me. With George and Shayne's serious help, we removed the engine, and determined that the Rod Bearings were the cause of the noise, and they had to be replaced. If your ever in the same boat, go ahead and buy a micrometer and measure the crankshaft before ordering new bearings. The cost of the micrometer will surely offset the amount of postage you may incur in sending back the wrong bearings as I have learned.
One more thing I've learned is that some earlier OC-3 Hercules IXK-3 engines have poured in bearings made of a soft metal. The problem with these bearings is that they wont just snap out like newer bearings, so I had to purchase new connecting rods. It seems the use of these cast bearings was changed part way through the production of these dozers, starting with the newer style bearings being used after serial number 1285102. If it was only the rod bearings I would have been long done with this project, but replacing the rod itself requires removing the head from the engine.
Once I pulled the head off, I noticed one more problem. Take a look at those pistons ! Even a career computer guy like me knows all that black build up is not good for the engine. It will have to be cleaned off before I put the old girl back together.
All in all, it's been a great experience. I've learned so much from this dozer, and now I can add dozer engine repair to my resume. I now feel much more comfortable with engines and mechanics, and I hope to put this puzzle back together this Friday. Let's hope there are no more hitches along the way !


I am a blogger with a point and shoot camera. A Canon SX230HS. It takes decent photos.
A neighbor of mine, (who takes photos professionally) did a quick tour of my flower gardens and yard, and emailed me the photos. When I say quick, I mean in about 5 minutes with her kids and dog along and not a lot of photos!
I asked her to email me the photos and she did. I think they are a lower resolution for email but I thought it was interesting to see the difference between her camera and mine. I like the lighting of the more expensive camera.
Thanks for looking at more garden photos!
The lighting may be better on the professional ones but you can reproduce that in software. TBH I actually prefer your photos because I think you take from a more interesting angle.
Honestly you do not need to worry about your abilities or the fact that you have a point and shoot camera.
I use a P&S as I prefer it to my DSLR that i ended up selling as I never used.
I think yours are just as gorgeous Carlene- really I do - you could always darken the edges like she did!!!
But more than that your garden just leaves me in awe!
And makes me realize I desperately need a decent camera!
I'll be pinning these if you're looking for me!
Hers has really good color but yours are good too. You can add some more vibrance and color in editor like with picmonkey cause yours really are good too. Do you edit yours at all. I didn't use to but now I try and do it when I have time cause they look better I think. I have a canon rebel but just the lowest level one.
Carlene, I really like yours better than the ones the photographer took.
I saw something the other day that I thought you would like. I couldn't get a picture but wish I had. It was an old red lawnmower with flowers planted in it. So you. I loved it.
Yours are just as good, in my opinion. If you're interested in enhancing yours, you can always use a free program like Picasa. It will enhance your colors, create the vignette effect, and much more. It's a free download.
I think your photos are more interesting in the angle and the way you feature certain items in the vignettes. It is interesting to see the difference, but it does mean one is better than the other. I'm with Suzan above - I will be pinning our pics to my garden board!
You know I could look at photos of your garden all day long...I don't care who took them!! They all look great!
OK, when I first read this I got the Hers and Mine backwards and I had to go back and double check. No offense to the professional photographer, but I am not impressed. She must only do portrait work because the photos are very much just a straight on shot and not interesting. Your photos have much better angles and are composed much better so they pull you in.
If you like the brighter look - she would have done that in her computer program by upping the contrast and saturation. Photos straight out of a DSLR normally are a littler flatter than straight out of a point and shoot, because the point and shoot is making corrections for you. Your photos are a little softer in color and that is also a look that people try to achieve in their computer programs. It's just a matter of taste.
Now that I wrote a book - I think yours are better.
Yes, the pro pics are bright, sharp and clear, but I prefer that your pics are real - just as we would see your garden up close. I'm somewhat opposed to the artificial intensity... As good as they are, her pics would mislead the viewer, in my opinion.
I just discovered your blog this morning via another blog and I apologize for not remembering which one. I'll go back after we return from church and find out which one so you can give that blogger credit and Thanks. Oh, I love all your unique "junking items" and signs! We live in a gated, Sr. Citizens community where there are a lot of rules and regs..which we knew about before we moved here. It's times like seeing your blog that I miss our former home and yard. Wished I'd had the flowergardening knowledge those 27 years that I have now. I know what I like but don't know how to put it all together so that it doesn't look like hodgepodge.
I will look at your blog more closely this afternoon and will probably have some compliments and questions for you. I love what I have seen so far!

Q: Build a gatsby plugin for elastic app search - get graphql querys I want to create a local gatsby plugin to index graphql querys in elastic app search.
My problem is, how I can get the articles with a graphql query as an array.
I need a structure like this:
const documents = [
{
id: 'INscMGmhmX4',
url: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INscMGmhmX4',
title: 'The Original Grumpy Cat',
body: 'A wonderful video of a magnificent cat.'
},
{
id: 'JNDFojsd02',
url: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
title: 'Another Grumpy Cat',
body: 'A great video of another cool cat.'
}
]

This is my query I want to index from Strapi:
const myQuery = `
     {
      allStrapiKbArticles {
        edges {
          node {
            id
            title
            content
          }
        }
      }
    }
  `

Here is my current code of the gatsby-node.js file:
const chunk = require('lodash.chunk');
const report = require('gatsby-cli/lib/reporter');
const AppSearchClient = require ('@elastic/app-search-node');

let activity = report.activityTimer(`Indexing to ElasticSearch`);

exports.onCreateDevServer = async function (

    { graphql },
    { baseUrlFn,  apiKey, queries, chunkSize = 1000 }
  ) {
    activity.start();

    const client = new AppSearchClient(undefined, apiKey, baseUrlFn)

    setStatus(activity, `${queries.length} queries to index`);

    const jobs = queries.map(async function doQuery(
      { engineName: engineName, query, transformer = identity, indexConfig },
      i
    ) {
      if (!query) {
        report.panic(
          `failed to index to Elastic. You did not give "query" to this query`
        );
      }

    setStatus(activity, `query ${i}: executing query`);
    const result = await graphql((query)
    ).then(result => console.log(result))

     activity.end();
})
}

Error:   TypeError: graphql is not a function (const result = await graphql((query))

Le voyage dans la lune (1902)
Director: Georges Méliès
Cast: Georges Méliès, François Lallement, Jules-Eugène Legris
Synopsis: A group of astronomers go on an expedition to the moon.
Méliès established a plot line in his groundbreaking Le voyage dans la lune that is still in use today: visiting a distant place, finding oneself in peril from the inhabitants, and making good their escape after appearing to be in an inescapable position. It's unlikely that anyone else used old men with long white beards for their protagonists the way that Méliès does here though – or that their aliens would be so easily to exterminate: one good whack with a walking stick and they explode in a puff of smoke.
Méliès was way ahead of his time. His sets were far more detailed than those of his contemporaries; he fills the screen with details, uses props in ways that no-one else had thought of at the time, finds ways to include a number of shapely ladies in many of his films, and tells reasonably engaging stories. Le voyage dans la lune is interesting from first frame to last and is well worth a look.

Q: kineticjs how to play video I need to add video to the stage and then play on mouse click using kineticjs.
I searched a lot for this but have not found any working code
Thanks

A: Add an HTML5 <video> tag to your DOM with the appropriate <source> tags. Assign the video element to a variable. Create a Kinetic.Image for your video to play on. Then play the video by clicking on some object (maybe the image, maybe a "play" button you placed on the stage) and use the following function to draw the video to the image. For best results, hide the video by placing it absolutely offscreen. The image can be any size, but to prevent distortion, the image should be the same aspect ratio as the video.
$('body').append('

');
var vidobj = '<video width="' + vw + '" height="' + vh + ' preload="auto"><source src="' + vsrc + '" type="video/mp4"></source></video>';
$('#video' + vid).html(vidobj);
var video = $('#video' + vid + ' > video').get(0);
var img = new Kinetic.Image({name : 'video', x : vx, y : vy, width : vw, height : vh, image : video});
layer.add(img);
video.play();
setVideo(video,img);

function setVideo(v,i) {
    if (!v.paused && !v.ended) {
        i.setImage(v);
        cvsObj.modal.draw();
        setTimeout(setVideo,20,v,i);
    }
}

v = your video, i = the image object.
EDITED to show creation of HTML5 video tag and Kinetic.Image(). Variables : vid = video id (unique), vw = video width, vh = video height, vx = video x coordinate (for canvas), vy = video y coordinate, vsrc = video source (path to file).

A: why does video have to be inside the stage?  Couldn't you just place an HTML5 video element on  top of the stage?


The U.S. Attorney's Office, in partnership with the National Resource and Technical Assistance Center for Improving Law Enforcement Investigations (NRTAC), recently presented a full-day training class for law enforcement officers and investigators in Ocala.

Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.
In many instances, an incision is made across the top of the scalp, beginning above the ears and hidden within the hair. Sometimes, the incision may be placed at the front of the hairline or, in some cases, toward the middle of the scalp. The incision is designed to be inconspicuous when healed. Through the Forehead Lift incision, your plastic surgeon can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause wrinkling and frown lines, remove excess skin, and lift your eyebrows to a more pleasing level. Sometimes, if your main concern is frown lines between your eyebrows or across the top of your nose, a limited endoscopic procedure to correct these problems can be done.
Some of the potential complications that may occur include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin), infection, and reactions to anesthesia. While plastic surgeons are trained in techniques for safely manipulating facial skin and tissues, injury to underlying structures is possible, though usually temporary. Forehead Lift incisions are usually quite inconspicuous; however, this is not entirely predictable due to individual variations in healing. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon both before and after surgery.
Your Forehead Lift may be performed in a hospital, free-standing ambulatory facility, or office-based surgical suite. Medications are administered for your comfort during the procedure. You and your plastic surgeon will have decided in advance what type of anesthesia is to be used – either intravenous sedation (twilight) or general anesthesia. For your safety during and after the operation, various monitors are used to check your heart, blood pressure, pulse and the amount of oxygen circulating in your blood. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area. A bandage may be wrapped around your forehead or face. Sometimes small tubes will be inserted beneath the skin to drain away fluid that might otherwise accumulate. There is surprisingly very little discomfort experienced after Forehead Lift surgery. However, any discomfort you may experience will be controlled with pain medication as needed. You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, although some patients may stay overnight in a hospital or surgical facility.
It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes varies greatly between individuals. Elevation of the head is extremely helpful in reducing the initial post-operative swelling. Your surgeon may also advise you to use ice packs intermittently. You should avoid Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for the first few days after your surgery. Smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke should be avoided to prevent delays in the healing process.
Once the dressings and drains are removed, puffiness and discoloration may be more pronounced in some portions of the face than others. Do not be alarmed by any unevenness or temporary asymmetry – this is normal. Most swelling is usually noted in the first 24 to 48 hours, and most bruising resolves within 2 weeks. Concealing makeup is usually permitted after the first week. You may experience numbness to the forehead post-operatively, which usually resolves within several months. Some patients find that mild swelling persists for many weeks. Most stitches are removed within a week of the surgery. Straining, bending, and lifting should be avoided during the early post-operative period as these activities may predispose you to bleeding. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions that may include caring for the dressings and incisions, directions for your analgesics and other medications, specific concerns to look for, and when to follow up in the office to monitor your healing process. It may take several months for the swelling to fully resolve, and up to 6 months for the incision scars to fully fade. Avoidance of factors that could reduce the benefits of the surgery, such as excessive unprotected sun exposure and cigarette use, is vital.

About us Latest news News News articles
'We want to shake the hands of the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls'
Arts and Sciences are coming together in the search for the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. With the help of artificial intelligence, it is now possible to differentiate between the individuals who wrote and copied these manuscripts 2000 years ago. Discovering the individual authors who wrote the manuscripts is 'literally shaking their hands', says Mladen Popović, director of the world-famous Qumran Institute of the University of Groningen. He is seeking the support of the general public through a crowdfunding project.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most important archaeological findings ever. They were discovered in the middle of the twentieth century in caves near Qumran, and comprise over a thousand manuscripts from the period before and at the beginning of our era. They provide a unique insight into the creation of what later became the Bible. 'We know the content of the rolls,' says Mladen Popović, 'but we also want to know about the world behind the manuscripts. Who wrote the text or texts? And what was the writing culture like? Answers to these questions will bring us closer to the origins of our own culture.' Popović is director of the Qumran Institute in Groningen, renowned for its decades of research on the manuscripts.
Teaching MONK to read
To find answers to his questions, he is working with Lambert Schomaker, the scientific director of the Artificial Intelligence Institute of the University of Groningen. They have developed a system to access historical and handwritten archives, called MONK. All the fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been entered into MONK, which must now learn to recognize the different letters, words and handwriting. Popović: 'MONK sees more than you can with the naked eye. The system can also take into account muscle strength, pen control and the materials used. This means we can trace the unique characteristics of each individual writer.'
Popović and Schomaker want to involve a much wider audience in their research. 'There is a lot of interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls and their history. Using crowdfunding, we hope not only to get this project off the ground faster with the money we raise, but also that people will feel that they are participating in a concrete way.' Popović hopes to raise € 20,000 through the site www.rugsteunt.nl. 'Every donation helps – even a small amount will help us to continue to analyze as many documents as possible and to set up a solid database of letter and word styles.'
Living room lecture
Depending on the size of the donation, donors also receive something in return, for instance an image of a letter from the Dead Sea Scrolls analysed by MONK, an afternoon analyzing texts themselves, or a living room lecture by Mladen Popović.
www.rugsteunt.nl
Mladen Popović's crowdfunding project is an initiative of the Ubbo Emmius Fund of the University of Groningen. As the first university in the Netherlands, the University of Groningen has created its own crowdfunding platform: www.rugsteunt.nl. Through this platform, in spring 2013 Arctic ecologist Martin Loonen raised over € 23,000 for his research on the Arctic tern.
A unique exhibition
The Dead Sea Scrolls can currently be viewed in the Drents Museum. The exhibition, curated by Mladen Popović, runs until 5 January 2014.

Василий Иванович Белов
This museum has been opened not despite as often happens, but thanks to the interest of many people: the authorities (Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Ministry of Culture of the RF to found the Memorial Flat of Vasily Belov that was to be a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture "Kirillo-Belozersky Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve"), the deputy corps of the State Duma of the Federation Council in the Russian Federation, Vologda Oblast Governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov, the Vologda Region Legislative Assembly; writers and ordinary citizens – residents of the Vologda region.
The key figures in the establishment of the museum were writer's widow Olga Belova, art critic Natalya Serova and Mikhail Sharomazov, director of the Kirillo-Belozersky Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve.
The Memorial Flat of Vasily Belov was established on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 5, 2014.
The Memorial Flat of Vasily Belov was founded thanks to the efforts of many people who were not indifferent: famous Russian writers, including Belov's friends Valentin Rasputin, Valentin Kurbatov, Vladimir Krupin, Valery Ganichev, Mikhail Karachyov; deputies of the State Duma of the RF Anatoly Greshnevikov and Vyacheslav Pozgalev; deputies of the Vologda Region Legislative Assembly headed by Georgy Shevtsov; correspondent of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" Dmitry Shevarov. Vladimir Tolstoy, adviser to the Russian President on Culture, and Vsevolod Popov, employee of the Presidential Executive Office, also made an important contribution to the museum establishment.
Vladimir Medinsky, Minister of Culture of the RF, endorsed the idea to open the Memorial Flat of Vasily Belov. He considered it to be one of the main events of the Year of Literature in Russia along with the opening of the Museum of Alexander Solzhenitsyn in Pyatigorsk and the Museum of Joseph Brodsky in St. Petersburg.
The decree on the establishment of the branch of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve was signed by museum director M.N. Sharomazov on September 4, 2015.
The last address of V.I. Belov in Vologda became the registration address of the museum.
The master of the pen wrote the following works in this very flat: the novels "The Year of a Major Breakdown", "The Sixth Hour"; the stories "Vologda's Buktinas", "A Story about One Village", "Non-Returnable Years"; recollections about Vasily Shukshin "Weight of the Cross", recollections about Valery Gavrilin "The Voice Born Near Vologda"; the plays "Alexander Nevsky" and "Family Holidays", short stories and sketches "Missing Persons", "Gurzuf", "Data", "In the Garden of the Valley", "Coloratura Soprano", "The Soul is Immortal", "Moscow Guests"; plenty of essays, poems, and op-ed articles.
Opening of the Memorial Flat of Vasily Belov as a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture "Kirillo-Belozersky Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve" is a mark of great love for the national writer, a mark of life of his name in the historical and cultural memory of the modern society and particularly residents of Vologda. Vaily Belov was justly an honorary freeman of this city.

Thursday, we talked about how in football, as in life, sometimes it's hard to understand the difficulty of sifting through an abundance of talent in the draft process, in the hiring process and elsewhere. I found one more parallel between football and life this week as my partners and I tried to identify the best candidates to fill a post at a Texas school district.
At one point this week, as we discussed a candidate, the founder of our firm, Bob Ledbetter, asked if this person had the temerity to make a call on third and 22 with the wind in his face? Would this candidate really have the guts and gravitas to face down tough situations without blinking?
It made me think about the times I've faced such situations, and when I've seen others face them. It also made me wonder if I've faced fourth-and-one decisions in my life and didn't even realize it.
For example, several draft-eligible players and their parents faced a fourth-and-one over draft weekend when they went undrafted and unsigned. For all practical purposes, they failed to convert. Many of them, however, and maybe most of them, think they failed on a third and two. They still see the NFL as an eminently makable goal if they can just land in the CFL, the AFL, or even some European league. They don't realize that if they failed to land an undrafted free agent deal, the CFL and AFL are uphill battles at best and, realistically, long shots.
Of course, we all face our own 4th-and-1 situations. At 47, I failed to convert on my original goal of working in an NFL front office when I was offered the chance, at 27, to work as a business office intern with my Saints. I'd be leaving a job as a sports writer in Beckley, W.Va., for an unpaid job in New Orleans. Ultimately, I was afraid to make that kind of leap of faith, and I hoped it was just an incomplete pass on 2nd and 10. Nope. It was much more than that.
The story has a happy ending for me. I was offered another chance to convert on a similar goal at 33 when I launched ITL. It would give me the opportunity to stay relevant in the game I loved and, maybe someday, even raise my family with the money I earned. At the time, I thought it was maybe a second-and-five situation in my goal of working for an NFL team; I'd go in, prove my worth, sharpen my eye as a scout, and wait for teams to line up, offering scouting jobs. In truth, it was my fourth and one for having a viable job in football. By God's grace, I converted that one. Seven years later, with Inside the League underperforming, I was probably facing a fourth and one when I returned from the Hula Bowl, unemployed and down on the long-term prospects of ITL. If my wife hadn't essentially dared me to retool ITL and make it into the service I originally had intended, I know I would have charged into the middle of the defense and stopped short.
A lot of people from all walks of the football business read this blog. Some of them are third-year agents who never got anyone signed and face having to take the test over again. Some are college students pursuing a degree in sport management and hoping to win a toehold in the business somewhere. Some are professionals weighing a change in course to pursue a job that captures their passion. Others are players in indoor leagues all over the world.
No matter who you are or where, I encourage you to take a long look at where you are and where you stand in accomplishing your goals. Even if you didn't get the yards you need for one goal, it may be first and 10 for you elsewhere.

Restoring the invisible: new network to explore Indigenous epistemologies
'Huriǂoaxa' means 'mountain rising out of the sea' and it is the Khoekhoe language name for what Europeans called 'Table Mountain', in the capital city in South Africa in what is now called Cape Town. While the colonial name reflects the view from the water—a flat land form—the Indigenous name captures geology and environmental history, leading into the relationship between the land and the peoples who lived there. This kind of erased knowledge is the subject of a new WUN-funded partnership between academic and Indigenous communities, which stands to have major implications for how we understand and care for the world around us.
The repression and denial of Indigenous knowledge is an injustice that makes all societies poorer. As described by Dr June Bam-Hutchison (University of Cape Town), who leads a group awarded a 2020 Research Development Fund grant, the loss is drastic but not final: 'It's this huge invisibilised archive' of indigenous epistemologies and knowledge: 'They do exist, they are there, but they are trapped in the languages that have been erased.' Like others she collaborates with, Bam-Hutchison was taught by her late mother, though their indigenous languages, targets of persecution, were silenced.
There has been increasing recognition from academics of the need to decolonise learning practices, not merely by bringing in marginalised materials or perspectives but by fundamentally challenging the epistemologies on which education has been based: whose forms of knowledge are considered valuable or important, whose world view is normative, where power lies. However, engagement with these ideas varies considerably between disciplines and in different national contexts. In research, exploitative practices remain frequent. The San Code of Research Ethics was developed by first nation peoples of Southern Africa and published in 2017 to promote practises based on respect, honesty, fairness and care.
Bam-Hutchison highlighted the importance of the recovery of indigenous knowledge and techniques in relation to the current climate emergency. There are large gaps in our understanding of the environment and sustainability: 'When you're not listening, you don't understand what people mean in terms of what the landscape means to them, how sustainability was managed and why, what to look out for, what the signs are of a landscape or climate in distress, of animals or insects, the whole ecology in distress.'
She pointed to the concept of 'Dadirri', an idea of deep listening rooted in the language of the Ngangikurungkurr people from northern Australia, as fundamental to their method and ethos. The WUN-funded group also draws on the concepts of '!Gâ re', which means listening in Khoekhoegowab, and of 'Rangatiratanga', a Māori concept of intellectual self-determination that is important to their perception of these different knowledges as an ecosystem. These are the organising concepts that will structure the group's work, but they anticipate more ideas coming to the fore through deep listening with Indigenous communities as the project unfolds. Bam-Hutchison emphasised that their process will be iterative and open-minded while identifying concepts that can be used directly in practice and analysis.
She believes the impact of making visible Indigenous knowledges will be profound. As methods are often where academics stake their expertise, 'scholars who are very much focused on the methodologies within the disciplines will find this theory of different ways of knowing and restorative justice within epistemologies problematic.' It challenges their very sense of what scholarship is.
Nonetheless, Bam-Hutchison has found that this resistance can be overcome by grounded, systematic mutual engagement: 'I believe it is the future. I believe that this is going to be the only way we will be able to move forward in many areas of scholarship, to make them relevant and to have a more sustainable future. So we might as well start to invest in it now.'
Dr June Bam-Hutchison is Principal Investigator of the group entitled !Gâ re – Rangatiranga – Dadirri : Decolonizing the 'capture of knowledge'. Its WUN member universities are University of Alberta, the University of Auckland, University of Bristol, University of Cape Town, University of Ghana, University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Sydney, the University of Western Australia, University of York and Zhejiang University.
