Q: new to command line and trying to build a script--what does this error mean? I'm completely new to building scripts, so please forgive me if the answer is obvious.  This was my input on Terminal:
Joels-MacBook-Air:~ joel$ /Users/joel/Desktop/NameOfApp/build_facebook_ios_sdk_static_lib.sh

And this was the output I got:

What's my next step?
Thanks for the help, guys and gals.

A: You need to make the current directory the directory containing the .xcodeproj (special) folder:
(cd $PROJECT_HOME; xcodebuild -target ...)

Also xcodebuild should already be in your $PATH so you can dump all the stuff that sets-up $XCODEBUILD.  You can then select between Xcode installations using xcode-select (manpage).

A baby raccoon left to die after being brutally bludgeoned by a golf club has been given a new chance at life and a rare opportunity to teach lessons on respect and responsibilities involving the environment and wildlife, thanks to the work of a Sanibel Island Author of children's books and volunteer at the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife.
From the raccoon's perspective, the story starts in Wilmington, North Carolina, where on a sunny Summer day in 2009, a golfer was seen repeatedly striking at what was believed, at first, to be a golf ball that had landed in the tall grass beside the rough. From a home near the course, another man was reportedly having a cup of coffee while reading the morning newspaper, but after observing the golfer, he decided to go examine the area in the grass. That's when he found a two-month old raccoon. Though bleeding and convulsing, the man scooped the animal from the ground and phoned a woman he knew as someone who worked to rehabilitate sick and injured animals.
Dot Lee, who formerly lived in Naples and Fort Myers, had moved to North Carolina many years earlier. A special education teacher who raised dogs, Dot became certified in the care of animals because so many people would bring her injured animals, such as rabbits and orphaned squirrels, but even this offered little in the way of preparing her for the frantic call from the golfcourse.
Dot Lee(left) sits with Trouper the Raccoon and his personal biographer in Author Kyle Miller.
Artist and Children's Book Illustrator Randon Eddy meets Trouper for the first time.
Dot says the caller was very angry by what he had witnessed. She agreed to help if she could, but the outlook was grim. Blood was seeping from the raccoon's mouth and ears. It was motionless beyond the occasional, yet increasingly fleeting, firing of nerve endings in sporadic spasms of twitches and trembles that Dot recognized as indicators of shock.
Its frail and forsaken state, she says, left her feeling angry and without much hope. "I didn't think he was going to live another 20 minutes, much less through the night," says Dot.
She cleaned the wounds and tried to offer it some nourishment with the potassium and electrolytes from an eyedropper filled with a familiar sports drink. She also sought advice from a local veterinarian, but this is a sticky situation in North Carolina. It is against the law for veterinarians, or even those certified in the caring for animals, to provide such services for raccoons. Dot says the law requires such animals to be euthanized, but in this case, she just couldn't turn her back on the animal.
Incapacitated and unable to swallow, she gently massaged the raccoon's throat until the liquid was consumed. She spent the next several days keeping it warm, and would often hold it close t her chest hoping that it would respond to her breathing and heartbeat, deriving some small measure of comfort in the way a small raccoon might receive from its mother, but still, the prognosis was doubtful.
Despite her best efforts, by the fifth day, Dot came to the painful conclusion that the raccoon needed to be put down. "He couldn't lift his head, couldn't open his mouth; he just laid there and shook... and I couldn't stand to see him struggling like that," says Dot.
Amidst tears, she whispered an anguished apology, telling the raccoon "I am sorry, but I don't want to see you suffer anymore."
Amazingly, the raccoon made a subtle turn of its head and released the slightest of yawns.
"I looked at him and said, 'OK, little buddy, let's wait one more day before we decide... you're a real trouper,'" says Dot.
Throughout the days that followed, Dot wrestled with uncertainty. She considered, several times, to put the raccoon out of its misery, but each instance "a little voice inside me said, 'Don't do it. Don't do it.'"
To her unwavering delight, the raccoon slowly recovered, however, injuries had taken their toll. The raccoon was blind and deaf, and these complications were compounded by other concerns. Word had gotten out that she was caring for the raccoon, and state officials (in their typical way of inquiring with care providers) had phoned to ask about certain "ring-tailed oppossum" for which she might be caring.
Not wanting to see the raccoon taken away, and knowing that in its blind and weakened condition, releasing it back to the wild was a death sentence in itself, Dot further struggled to determine what to do.
On some level, she says she identified with the animal. That compassion may have been honed in her career as an educator working with special need students, but there was more. Dot is afflicted by multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the spinal cord as well as brain functions, and in this case, she is legally blind. While still maintaining slight vision in one eye, Dot can more clearly see something in the way of a truth for her life, that she clings to as much as she does the raccoon. "I have a purpose for being here. I know what it feels like to lose something. I know what it feels like to be cast aside, like I'm something less, but I still have a lot to give, and I believe I have a purpose in my life," says Dot. "And I believe there's a purpose that brought us together."
Convicted by her faith in their dual destiny, Dot began researching to find States where she and the raccoon (affectionately named Trouper) could live without running afoul of sanctions, and Florida is one such area. In a little less than a month, Dot Lee sold off many of her belongings and hot-footed her car for Florida, arriving early last year.
She wasted no time ensuring that Trouper received all the necessary shots, permits and clearances; and when not tending to his needs, she has volunteered her services at initiatives such as Sanibel's Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife.
Dot and Trouper's story could have ended well right there, but new chapters are currently being forged. While working in a local gift shop, she came across a children's book pertaining to a Snowy Plover named "Snowy Pea" and chum, Ghosty (the ghost crab). Illustrated by Randon Eddy and written by Kyle Miller (both of Sanibel) Dot noted a phone number within the book and decided to make contact.
Miller picks up from there. As a writer of children's books, which includes that of "Dillo" the armadillo, Miller says she has grown accustomed to receiving phone calls from people with ideas for stories. "Dot called and said, 'I have this story.' Forty minutes later into the conversation, I had goose bumps," says Miller.
That conversation has ultimately led to to a new children's book, as well as a new education program. Miller, who also previously worked as a teacher, thought about the raccoon's name and developed a lesson plan which involves: "T" for teach; "R" for respect; "O" for opportunity; "U" for understanding; "P" for protect; "E" for environment; and "R" again, for responsibility.
A grandmother, Miller's career as a children's author was prompted by a desire to teach her grandchildren about the wildlife surrounding her home on Sanibel. In this new project, she believes there is potential to teach children throughout the country valuables lessons that lead to a better understanding and appreciation for wildlife.
Children that participate actually have an opportunity to earn a certificate indicating their mastery of the curriculum, collectively touted as "Trouper's Teachings."
Dot Lee has already witnessed some benefits from Trouper's interactions with young people. During a recent Boy Scout Jamboree in Punta Gorda, thousands of area scouts attended, but Dot noticed one boy, sitting alone, seemingly unnoticed by others. She introduced Trouper, even let him hold the raccoon, and soon enough, the boy was surrounded by other interested scouts.
Dot says a scout leader later approached and informed her, "The boy we were with had a mild form of autism and it was hard for him to make new friends. The Scout Leader said we did a world of good for the boy that day."
And to be sure, if all goes as planned, there will be many days ahead for Trouper, each with an opportunity to interact with children and impart important lessons. Miller, who is also planning to publish a more grown-up version of the story, thinks that Trouper will make both a fun and fundamental impression on kids, while they are still at a critical stage for learning.
She reflects on the actions of a certain golfer in North Carolina, and says, "We wish we could have reached him when he was still young."
Kyle Miller and Trouper the Raccoon will be autographing copies of "Trouper: The True Adventures of a Blind Raccoon" during an appearance at Book Nook, 11:00a.m. - 1:00 p.m., on December 28th. Appearances are also planned for MacIntosh Books on December 31st. To learn more about Trouper, visit his website at www.trouperraccoon.com or send an email to trouperlee2011@aol.com.

State Announces 10-Year Invasive Species Plan
By News Release @ 1:57 PM :: 5391 Views :: Environment, Agriculture, Law Enforcement
THE STATE OF HAWAI'I READY TO IMPLEMENT HAWAI'I INTERAGENCY BIOSECURITY PLAN
Provides 10-Year Framework for Invasive Species Prevention
News Release from DoA and DLNR January 10, 2017
HONOLULU – The State of Hawai'i, in a broad coalition of stakeholders led by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Land and Natural Resources, has finalized the State's first interagency and comprehensive biosecurity plan to protect Hawai'i's agriculture, environment, economy and health. In the past, individual federal, state, and local agencies have tried their best to address and manage the issues related to biosecurity within the context of their own agencies.
"The State of Hawai'i now has a coordinated comprehensive plan to tackle the threats and harms from invasive species," said Gov. David Ige. "I'm proud to announce that over the last year, several of my key state agencies have been working together with public and private stakeholders to develop the first Interagency Biosecurity Plan. This plan will provide a 10-year framework to prevent invasive species from entering our borders, detect them once they have entered the state, and better manage the established invasive species that are already within our state."
The threats of invasive species are real and threaten our way of life. The Islands are home to more endangered species than any other state. These invasive species threaten Hawai'i's economy and natural environment and the health and lifestyle of its people and visitors. They replace native ecosystems, diminish fresh water quality and quantity, and increase disease and other human health concerns.
Invasive species have devastating impacts on our $600 million agricultural industry through crop damage and costly mitigation measures. Stinging ants, biting snakes, and other pests are also a threat to our $14.9 billion tourism industry.
The scope of the Hawai'i Interagency Biosecurity Plan addresses all three biosecurity areas including pre-border (for example, agreements on handling and treatment of products before they enter the state), border (for example, inspection authorities and technologies), and post-border (for example, tools and capacity for response after invasive species have become established). The benefit of a comprehensive interagency plan is that it facilitates actions and policies across a wide range of agencies and partners. The plan includes roughly 150 action items assigned to various agencies and stakeholders, with specific details on how and when to best implement each action.
"We have to be smarter in using state resources by working together and collaborating across and within their agencies. We just don't have the financial and human resources to do it by ourselves, the problem is much greater than just a Department of Agriculture issue," emphasized Scott Enright, chairperson of the Hawai'i Board of Agriculture. "This plan gives us the framework or path to better address and manage the problems of invasive species."
"This is really an example of many hands working together to achieve the best outcome," said Suzanne Case, chairperson of the Department of Land and Natural Resources. "Our environment, our food, and our people are all interconnected. Using a cross-sector approach is the best way we can work to protect Hawai'i."
The Hawai'i Interagency Biosecurity Plan may be found on the HDOA website:

Staff Reviews
I love my Instant Pot more than [almost] anything, and now I love Madhur Jaffrey for the tips and tricks that take its magic to another level. This cookbook is conversational and fun while being very clear about when to use high pressure and when to use low, when to sauté and how exactly to position everything in the pot. Settle back into the routine that the fall season brings with an easy mung bean and spinach dal or a flavorful chicken korma. This James Beard award-winning chef has you covered.
— Afton Montgomery, Adult Frontlist Buyer
"One of the best cookbooks to come out of the Instant Pot craze. It's full of those timeless Indian recipes Jaffrey is known for . . . The flavor to ease factor ratio in these recipes is undoubtedly high, and, as always, Jaffrey's calm, nurturing voice guides you through each step." —Priya Krishna, Bon Appetit
Master Indian cooking at home with more than seventy recipes from the multi-James Beard Award–winning author who "introduced the world to Indian food" (Epicurious).
For more than forty years, Madhur Jaffrey has been revered as the "queen of Indian cooking" (Saveur). Here she shares inviting, easy-to-follow recipes—some entirely new, others reworked classics—for preparing fantastic Indian food at home. While these dishes are quick and easy to prepare, they retain all the rich complexity for which Jaffrey's food has always been known, making this the only Indian cookbook with recipes designed for the Instant Pot you'll ever need.
RECIPES: From classics like butter chicken and buttery dal to new sure-to-be-favorites like kale cooked in a Kashmiri style and Goan-style clams, these recipes capture the flavorful diversity of Indian cuisine.
EASY-TO-FOLLOW: Written with the clarity and precision for which Jaffrey has always been known, these are flavor-forward recipes that make the most of the Instant Pot's unique functionality.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF COOKBOOK: Rather than simply adapting recipes for one-pot cooking, Jaffrey has selected the essential dishes best suited for preparing using the Instant Pot, and created some all-new delectable dishes that make the most of its strengths.
BEYOND THE INSTANT POT: Also included are thirteen bonus, no-special-pot needed recipes for the chutneys, salads, and relishes you need to complete any Indian meal. Think avocado-radish salad, fresh tomato chutney, and yogurt and apple raita.
SPICES AND SPECIAL INGREDIENTS: Jaffrey provides a list of pantry essentials, from asafetida to whole spices, as well as recipes for her own garam masala blend and more.
TIPS: Here too is Jaffrey's advice on the best way to make rice, cook meat and fish in your Instant Pot, and more, based on her own extensive testing.
MADHUR JAFFREY is the author of many previous cookbooks--seven of which have won James Beard Awards--and was named to the Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America by the James Beard Foundation. She is the recipient of an honorary CBE and is also an award-winning actress, having won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival, with numerous major motion pictures to her credit.
"The only Instant Pot cookbook the world still needs is one by Madhur Jaffrey. Long considered one of the utmost authorities on Indian cuisine in the U.S., Jaffrey's first book, An Invitation to Indian Cooking showed Americans a world beyond 'curry,' where Indian food did not need to be dumbed down to appeal to western palates. This book is similarly uncompromising in its recipes, marrying the convenience of the Instant Pot with Jaffrey's wealth of expertise." —Priya Krishna, Bon Appetit
"One of the foremost authorities on Indian cooking." —Saveur
"For the best Indian food, we've always turned to Madhur Jaffrey. In her latest cookbook, she's created new recipes and reworked old ones, all for the Instant Pot. The dishes are quick and easy to make thanks to the multi-cooker, and they retain the richness and complexity Jaffrey's cooking is known for." —Epicurious
"[Jaffrey] is widely considered responsible for bringing Indian cooking to a western audience. . . . [Her] latest book is a testament to the research and meticulousness that characterise her work: even basic rice recipes are prefaced by very specific instructions for how to remove the rice from the Instant Pot without ruining the delicate grains." —The Guardian
"A trailblazer." —Meera Sodha, author of Made in India
"[A] winning collection of recipes that are big on flavor. . . . Options include soups, dals, curries, sides, and condiments, with plenty of dishes for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Classics (butter chicken, several chickpea recipes, Goan shrimp curry) mingle with some unexpected dishes (spicy fat French fries, quinoa with tomatoes), any of which would make for a proper feast." —Publishers Weekly
"What could be more welcome than a cookbook combining the it-gadget's novelty with the venerable traditions of Indian cooking? Award-winning actress and apostle of the subcontinent's cuisine, Jaffrey has already established herself as grande dame of Indian cooking for the English-speaking world. As she points out, many Indian kitchens already use multiple pressure cookers, so the Instant Pot scarcely changes everyday approaches for the Indian home cook." —Booklist
"[Jaffrey's] dishes are unfailingly complex in flavour, her recipes well explained and simple to make. . . . The recipes themselves are easy to follow, with little jargon, and are structured in helpful numbered steps (rarely more than two or three). . . . A useful glossary exists at the end of the book, with brief explainers on everything from chickpea flour to Jaffrey's own garam masala spices blend. . . . There's a wonderful range [of recipes] spanning the Indian subcontinent, and rarely do they take more than 30 minutes. I'm sold." —Tomé Morrissy-Swan, The Daily Telegraph
"Leave it to Madhur Jaffrey to find new ways to master the cooking appliance you thought could do no better. Whether you're an occasional Instant Pot user or an avid one, the actress and cookbook author's new book . . . ups the ante." —Alison Spiegel, Christopher Kimball's Milk Street

One of the great joys of writing articles for this blog is to research and profile people who own tiny trailers. Not only are my wife and I inspired by the travels and experience of other tiny trailer owners, we also learn a lot about how to do it right. Some of our travel trepidations are alleviated by learning about how others have hit the camping road, and the tips and hard-earned wisdom we gain by our research make it easier for us to gear up and take off.

« Quote of the Day (Shavua Tov) | Main | Here we go again, a new week »
The Despicable J-Street PAC
J-Street claims to be the sabotage component of the military wing of the "political arm" of something called a "pro-Israel, pro-peace movement." In other words, they constitute an army of Walt/Mearsheimer-ite emailers who favor Israel's slow and steady political disintegration over the more direct approach of Ahmadinejad.
Among the many Democrats[Only] whom J-Street endorses (including Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison), is one Steve Cohen of Tennessee's 9th District.
"Elected in 2006, Cohen has already distinguished himself as a fresh new voice on Capitol Hill and the type of pro-Israel voice JStreetPAC is proud to support. A staunch opponent of the war in Iraq, he has championed other JStreetPAC priorities including increased US assistance to the Palestinian authority..."
You tell me if this sounds like "a fresh new voice" to you:
It may be "fresh," but it's certainly not new. See "The God Blog" at the Jewish Journal:
It appears U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen reads Politico.com. In the above video, in which Cohen—yeah, that Steve Cohen—compares Barack Obama to Jesus and vice-president hopeful Sarah Palin to Pontius Pilate.
Watch the video and tell me his statement doesn't sound a lot like this comment from Jonathan Martin's blog: "Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."
I don't suppose it would do any good to point out the number (37%) of American presidents who were also governors, some even from Cohen's state of Tennessee.
Okay, if you insist.
Our 3rd President was the 2nd Governor of Virginia:
Our 5th President was the 16th Governor of Virginia:
Our 10th President was the 23rd Governor of Virginia:
John Tyler, Jr.
Our 8th President was the 9th Governor of New York:
Our 11th President was also the 11th Governor of Tennessee:
James Knox Polk
Our 19th President was the 32nd Governor of Ohio:
Rutherford Birchard Hayes
Our 22nd and 24th President was the 28th Governor of New York:
Stephen Grover Cleveland
Our 25th President was the 39th Governor of Ohio:
William McKinley, Jr.
Our 26th President was the 33rd Governor of New York:
Our 28th President was the 34th Governor of New Jersey:
Thomas Woodrow Wilson
Our 30th President was the 48th Governor of Massachusetts:
John Calvin Coolidge
Our 32nd President was the 44th Governor of New York:
Our 39th President was the 76th Governor of Georgia:
Our 40th President was the 33rd Governor of California:
Our 42nd President was the 40th and 42nd Governor of Arkansas:
Our 43rd and current President was the 46th Governor of Texas:
Thank Gd, the drumbeat of the left has yet to erase all of American history. I implore you to read something about each of these men, even if it's only Wikipedia. Get an idea of their various presidencies, what they encountered and how they performed. And then think very seriously -in that larger context- about J-Street and the army of 20,000+ emailers that they control. And I do mean control; every one of their 20,188 emails to the rally organizers said exactly the same thing, word for word. J-Street's words.
I beg you to ponder the concerted and malevolent effort they organized to censor the 11th Governor of Alaska. And consider... their "success."
J-Street is despicable in every way. It's relevant, though hardly shocking, to note - in light of their "victory" of preventing Sarah Palin from speaking at Monday's rally- that their invitation to an initial "hush-hush fundraiser" (prior to their public launch in April) claimed their intention was to become
"... the first and only lobby and PAC (political action committee) dedicated to ensuring Israel's security, changing the direction of American policy in the Middle East and opening up American political debate about Israel and the Middle East."
These hypocrites, liars and political saboteurs have the audacity to claim to represent the views of the "American Jewish community."
Not mine, oh Lord. Not me.
At least through the efforts of J Street we know who to be wary of, who believes the Arab governments and the Palestinians want peace and not the destruction of Israel. They tell us which candidates they endorse and who their supporters are. The people who learn nothing from history, the people who are blind and deaf to what the Palestinians actually do and say.

Paleovolcanic reconstruction in the Tokaj Mountains
Central European Geology
https://doi.org/10.1556/ceugeol.55.2012.1.4
Authors: Tibor Zelenka, Pál Gyarmati, and János Kiss
The Tokaj Mts, situated in the northeastern part of the inner arc of the Carpathians, forms a part of a Miocene calc-alkaline andesitic-dacitic-rhyolitic volcanic island arc. The ancient volcanic structures were reconstructed on the basis of the 1:50 000-scale and 22 sheets of the 1:25 000-scale geologicpetrologic maps, as well as the revision of the volcanic facies in 150 boreholes. Multispectral and SAR satellite imagery, aerial photos, data and maps of airborne geophysical surveys (magnetic and radiometric), gravity-filtered anomaly maps, geochemical (soil and stream sediment Au, As, Sb, Hg) concentration distribution maps and the K/Ar dating of 132 samples from 80 paleomagnetic measurements were also used.
The anomalies were only taken into consideration in the interpretation if the coincident results of at least 3 methods indicated the presence of any volcanic structure. In consequence, 91 map-scale volcanic structures were identified by morphology — complex calderas, single lava domes, volcanic fissures, subvolcanic intrusions, diatremes, stratovolcanoes and postvolcanic formations. Conclusions were also drawn regarding the link to the volcanic structures and prospective occurrences of the mineral resources of the Tokaj Mts: andesite, dacite, welded zeolitic tuff, K-metasomatite, perlite, pitchstone, pumice, bentonitic, illitic, kaolinitic, diatom-bearing and silicified lacustrine sediments, hydrothermal Au-Ag and Pb-Zn veins, and Hg stockwerks.

Surface Neogene volcanics in Hungary are abundantly documented in the literature, but buried volcanic structures are little known. Early burial of the volcanic centers beneath latest Miocene to Pliocene sediments preserved much of their original relief, permitting their classification into genetic types. More than two-thirds of Hungary is covered by thick Neogene and Quaternary sediments, below which buried volcanic eruptive centers and the extent of their products may only be recognized by complex geologic-geophysical methods. Our study is based on the data of several thousand wells, more than 60,000 km of seismic sections, as well as airborne and surface geophysical (gravimetric, magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric) data. Results of chemical, mineralogical studies and K/Ar dating of deep cores were also included. The data were evaluated in terms of the regional deep structure of the Carpathian-Balkan region, the Miocene evolution of which was determined by the position, movement and welding of individual microplates. Integration of all available data reveals that the Miocene volcanic centers are concentrated near microplate boundaries. In the volcanic centers the lavas and pyroclastic deposits far exceed 50 m in thickness. The data show that the buried volcanic rocks below the Transdanubian region (Little Hungarian Plain and Somogy-Baranya Hills), the Danube-Tisza Interfluve and the Great Hungarian Plain extend over a much larger area than do the outcropping volcanoes in Northern Hungary (from the Visegrád to the Tokaj Mts). In the southern part of Transdanubia (W. Hungary) a major calcalkaline, rhyolitic, ignimbritic event took place early, in Eggenburgian and Ottnangian (Early Miocene) times. The centers and tuff sheets of this volcanic event can be traced from the Mecsek Mts to the Salgótarján Basin, the southwestern Bükk Basin and the central part of the Great Hungarian Plain. This event was followed by andesitic volcanism. The rhyolite and dacite volcanic centers of Karpatian age are predominantly situated in Transdanubia, whereas the Badenian (Mid-Miocene) andesite and dacite series of large stratovolcanoes are buried below southern Transdanubia, the Danube-Tisza Interfluve and the Great Hungarian Plain. In Sarmatian and early Pannonian (Late Miocene) times, pyroclastic sheets several thousand meters thick and lava domes were formed; they are predominantly rhyolitic, subordinately andesitic and dacitic, and are situated in the eastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain (Nyírség). With the end of microplate motion, as the plate consolidated in the late Miocene, thick but areally restricted alkali-trachite (Little Hungarian Plain) and alkali-basalt lava domes and tuff craters formed in the Little Hungarian Plain, Transdanubia and the Danube-Tisza Interfluve.

Thanks for the heads up and I hope everyone kinda polices me on the standings.
Good to hear that everyone are trying to help everyone.

Pagona Papakonstantinou: Metal free graphene as electrocatalysts for fuel cells

Today, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), which use hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produce electricity and just pure water as the only reaction by-product, are considered a key enabling technology for replacing internal combustion engines for automotive industry. However, the prohibitive cost of platinum for catalyzing the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has hampered the widespread use of current PEMFC technology. Recently, several breakthroughs have occurred, by the introduction of surface heteroatoms (e.g., nitrogen) into carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, with their performance approaching, that of platinum-based systems. The talk will highlight our recent findings on new synthesis methods of nitrogen doped electrocatalysts for ORR and will critically review recent activity and understanding that have led to these breakthroughs
Pagona Papakonstantinou is a Professor of Advanced Materials at the School of Engineering of the University of Ulster. Currently her group specializes on the fabrication and functionalization of low dimensional carbon based nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes. graphene, diamond nanorods) the characterization of their unique physical and physicochemical properties and the demonstration of these materials in biological sensing and energy areas. Research efforts are directed on engineering the structure of these carbon based nanomaterials and probing the local atomic environment by synchrotron light in view of understading their properties. In a series of papers the details of the interaction of foreign molecules such as nitrogen, oxygen and chlorine with the graphene lattice have been investigated by synchrotron based spectroscopies (NEXAFS, PEEM, XPS, VB). Pagona serves/(d) on various committees including Diamond Synchrotron Light Source, EPSRC College Panel(s), Royal Society International grants and National Access Programme (SFI) at Tyndall Institute in Cork. She is author or coauthor of more than 75 scientific papers and is recipient of a Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship (2011) from the Royal Academy of Engineering.


I decided to take my daughter's advice and put the seedlings beside the back door. I didn't have to move the sick animal aviary after all because I bought one of the little plastic covered green houses suggested by Jacqui (Dusty Country Road blog) and put it in the most protected position I could find, as also suggested by Jacqui. The little green house is now full to the brim with seeds planted in punnets and newspaper pots.
The new seedling raising area. My potting table is to the left against the aviary wall and the little green house is full of enthusiasm.
Some of the seedlings in my little green house. Roma tomatoes potted on from a punnet I bought. These are bound for the school gardens I am custodian to.
In an excess of enthusiasm I also potted some herbs into an indoor herb tower which will live beside a North facing window in the kitchen and hopefully result in us having lots of parsley, chives, oregano and mint added to our meals (not all of them together, obviously).
The next challenge for me is to complete stages 3 and four of the Hugelkultur beds so I can plant out all these new seedlings. I have given myself a month to do that. Wish me luck.
I am finding that setting myself goals that have to be met by a certain time is helping me to get things done in the garden. What techniques do you use to get things done?
Hope they grow well for you! I better get into gear and get my own going now..
Maybe we can inspire each other.


I never check my updates on here anymore... or post anything. I dunno- DA has just gotten obnoxious to me in several ways. And since my art muses have almost died, all I do is cosplay now.
Love you all, and thank you for the time you've watched me!
Favourite style of art: All kinds!
Personal Quote: "You are a f*cktard" "That's really f*ckafied..."
Thanks for the fav on the 360 degree pictorial. You might like my other work and some 360 degree pictorials that I will be posting shortly. I am trying to bring 360 degree pictorials into the main stream where more photographers try this methodology. Thanks for the encouragement.
just finished it what do you think?
Hi there, I love your washu outfit and I'm planning to go as her for Tokyo in Tulsa in July. I'm 50% done with the outfit just need the shirt part done hope it turns out alright wish me luck.

Awareness has been developed and countless companies worldwide are turning to plastic card printing to get their job done easier and quicker. People are always on the lookout for reliable and pocket friendly services that can help them make an impression.
Since the demand of plastic cards is on the rise, many companies are competing to provide the best plastic card printing services. However customers should not be intimidated by the amount of customization options available. Always make it a practice to do a bit of research beforehand to ensure that you can get hold of a good deal. Read reviews online of that state the opinions of customers regarding certain plastic card printing firms.
Also remember that the cost of the plastic card printing process will be dependent on the amount of ink used in the process. Therefore always keep your budget in mind to ensure that you don't go overboard on the details. Remember that the plastic cards design must look unique and hence should aid in a professional appeal. Too many details on the cards can make your plastic cards look messy and unprofessional.
The key is to get the plastic card to look as professional as possible but with a minimalistic design. "Less is more" applies perfectly to the process of plastic card printing. Besides the business logo, all that should be on your card is the business message along with one or two contact details. Get the business message to look striking and keep the rest looking sleek and simple.
A full proof way is to use clear or transparent cards. Clear cards take advertising to a whole new level. Their transparent nature makes them a perfect pick to serve as a sophisticated and professional looking business card. These cards can instantly polish the business image with their simple and minimalistic yet rather professional appeal.
There is no need to re-invent the wheel. Make use of the templates provided by plastic cards printing services. The templates can be fully customized to suit your preferences.

Kelsea Ballerini's "Yeah Boy" Music Video Is Here
And it's got total throwback pop star vibes.
Country artist Kelsea Ballerini has had a big year. She went on her own headline tour — aptly titled (The First Time) tour, performed with Nick Jonas at the American Country Music Awards, scored a big hit with "Peter Pan," hung out with her pal Taylor Swift … oh, and got nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy. NBD.
"It's definitely a great honor," Kelsea told Teen Vogue about the nod. She's only had a few days to let the reality of being a Grammy-nominated artist sink in, but she says that "I did make my mom a promise that if I ever went to the Grammys, she'd be my date," so she's got her red carpet partner locked down.
To celebrate, Teen Vogue is premiering Kelsea's new music video for "Yeah Boy," a flashy, poppy clip that perfectly matches the upbeat hit song that's rising up the country charts.
The video has some serious *TRL *-era pop star vibes. "I definitely love pushing boundaries and I've always loved strong female artists in every genre, and Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson are some of my favorites," Kelsea said of the '00s icons. "I probably picked up some of their performance tendencies that I put in my live show and in this video."
The video is bright, sparkly, and fun, and it features dancers, which is something country videos don't often do. "We wanted the video to be a lot like the tour, and mimic all the bright lights and colors and outfits," Kelsea said. "I wanted to incorporate some dancers into this video because I've always loved dance; I feel like this song is perfect for that because it's very bouncy and fun." She's not wrong; "Yeah Boy" has been getting tons of airplay on Top 40 country radio, much like her previous singles.
Kelsea's got big things on the horizon, too. What's next for her? She'll hit the road as part of Thomas Rhett's Home Team tour and attend the Grammys — with mom, of course. Kelsea wouldn't spill any beans about her friend Taylor's new music, but she did share that she's at work on a new album of her own. (Will it be country? Pop? Both? We're not sure!) This year was a big one for Kelsea, and it looks like 2017 will be just as eventful.

Burnout: Tips for Coping When You Can't Just Quit
By Moira LawlerMedically Reviewed by Seth Gillihan, PhD
Reviewed: January 29, 2023
If you're burned out from caregiving or parenting, it's not necessarily an option to leave that role. Even just a few moments in your day for yourself can help.Getty Images
Once burnout sets in, it can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You may feel emotionally exhausted and full of dread; you may feel hopeless, with no motivation or energy to keep going, says Cassandra Aasmundsen-Fry, PsyD, a clinical psychologist with Mindwell Modern Psychology and Therapy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Though official definitions of burnout specify that burnout is the result of work-related stress, many experts think that definition is too limited.
"I have absolutely seen burnout apply to other areas," says Holly Schiff, PsyD, a clinical psychologist with Jewish Family Services of Greenwich in Connecticut. It could set in as a result of overwhelming childcare responsibilities or after taking on the role of caregiver for a sick family member, for example.
If burnout is due to career work, one solution is to quit that job and find one that you're more passionate about.
But what if quitting your job isn't an option? Or what if you're feeling burned out as a result of an activity that you can't just quit (like taking care of someone who is ill, old, or very young)?

5 Tips for Managing Burnout When You Can't Just Walk Away
Dealing with burnout typically involves first recognizing that's what you're feeling — and then trying to lessen the stressors.
But things that lead to burnout are usually not totally within our control. There are cultural and systemic issues that cause burnout that we may not be able to change (at least not quickly or individually).
"Getting over it" is much easier said than done, says Dominique Thornton, a licensed professional counselor and therapist in Fort Washington, Maryland.
Here are five steps that can help — and if they're not helping, keep reading for other resources you can turn to.
1. Reframe Your Mindset
Consider the role you're burned out from and remind yourself why you started, Thornton suggests. It could help you view your situation in a more positive light. "Burnout causes many people to hyper focus on the negative aspects of our job or role," Thornton says. "That makes the job or role seem more frustrating, unbearable, and stressful, and can lead to even more burnout."
If you're burned out with parenting or caregiving responsibilities, for example, remind yourself why you took on these responsibilities. Remind yourself what you like about the role.
2. Make Time for Self-Care
"Lack of self-care is one of the most significant contributors to burnout," Thornton says. "Many of my clients believe that they don't have enough time in their schedule for it."
If that sounds like you, start small.
"It does not have to be an hour each day. It may look like spending 10 minutes a day engaged in a gratitude practice or a guided visualization," Dr. Aasmundsen-Fry says. "What is important is that you intentionally carve out time."
How you spend that dedicated time may change according to your needs of the day, she says. Prioritizing adequate amounts of sleep, a healthy diet, and exercise are good places to start, according to Midwestern University.
RELATED: How to Start a Self-Care Routine You'll Follow
Let your boss, coworkers, family members, or whoever else is close to your situation know you're exhausted and maxed out. "They can't fix a problem they don't know is there," Thornton says.
Don't be afraid to ask them for help, and be specific about what you need, Aasmundsen-Fry says. "When doing so, don't beat around the bush," she says. Ask for help with meals or carpools to pick up kids from school or activities. "This will make it easier for your helpers and supporters to make sure that no boxes go unchecked," she says.
At the end of the day, self-sacrifice does not help anyone, Aasmundsen-Fry says.
4. Maintain Your Social Life
Sometimes it helps to talk about what you're going through with family and friends. Sometimes it helps to use social time to step away from stressors and simply use the time to enjoy another person's company. Either way, social contact can be an excellent way to de-stress.
And when it comes to carving out time for friends: "Don't wait for more free time — create it," Aasmundsen-Fry says. "Prioritize it and hold on to it dearly."
RELATED: Why Friendships Are So Important for Health and Well-Being
5. Set Boundaries
When you're not working, leave your work behind, Thornton says. And when you can step away from other responsibilities that are causing burnout (like caregiving), do so.
In your family life, it can help to create a child-free "you" space, for example, Thornton says. It could be a corner in your bedroom or any space where you can reset and relax. Spend time there intentionally, not worrying about whatever is contributing to your burnout. "Mentally being in your role or workspace can be almost as triggering as actually being there," Thornton says.
Setting boundaries also means not overextending yourself. Don't be afraid to turn down an invitation on the weekend if your schedule is already full and you need extra time to recharge. Saying no can help when it comes to coping with burnout, according to Penn Medicine.
"Never be ashamed about setting boundaries," Thornton says. "You can't pour from an empty cup."
Resources That Can Help You Overcome Burnout
"It's always better to prevent or to immediately address present challenges rather than opt to put out fires later," Thornton says.
If you feel unable to manage burnout, it's lasted for six months or longer, or it's impairing your ability to function, it's time to seek additional help, Aasmundsen-Fry says. (If you experience suicidal thoughts at any time, you should call 988 immediately, she says.)
Here are three resources that can help.
Support Groups Religious groups or support groups can connect you with people who may be having a similar experience and are wanting to listen and share.
Try the online community 7 Cups. You can specify what's stressing you (such as work, relationships, or finances) and find others to listen and offer advice.
Guided Meditation Apps "Try using apps like Calm, which offers guided visualizations and progressive muscle relaxation, both of which are excellent self-care strategies to help you recognize and separate from your daily stress," Aasmundsen-Fry says. Other popular options include Waking Up and Headspace.
Therapy "Therapists provide the tools and continued support to make changes to your boundaries and habits over time," Aasmundsen-Fry says. Plus, a therapist could help determine if you're dealing with something greater than burnout, as many of the symptoms of burnout overlap with those of depression. Carol Bernstein, MD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, says symptoms that persist over time and start to interfere with your daily life — to the point where you're not eating, not sleeping, and not wanting to go to work — may be signs of depression and indicate that it could be good idea to see a mental health professional.

What was the biggest ticket you got, how much was it, and what did you do to get that ticket? The only ticket i got was for "Yielding" at a stop sign. It costed me 160.80. How about you?
i got one for 70-55 in nebraska and it cost like 119.50 ish.
86 in a 70 highway zone? it was about $125 and my mom or dad drove it.
wreckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident 12 points both misdometers(chase i know i spelled it wrong again, screw you) cost me $900 for a lawyer to get out of them. some dumbass kid ran into the street from behind a parked car so to avoid him i ran down a mailbox and went home. stupid pigs.
i75 going 110 in a 70 cop pulled out i stayed at 110 passing on the right shoulder. cop couldn't catch me.
once i passed a cop going 90 in a 70 he pulled out to pull me over i knew that turned on cruise control at 70. when the cop caught up a stupid *** in a red Honda was going 90 weaving in and out of traffic and the cop decided to chase him instead.
i've never gotten a ticket, but my brother got one for runnin a stop sign, $125 and 3 points off his license. i thought that was kinda harsh since it was his first one.

Reviews » DVD Video Reviews » Tickled
Magnolia Home Entertainment // R // April 23, 2019
Review by Francis Rizzo III | posted April 24, 2019 | E-mail the Author
In 10 Words or Less
A thrilling mystery that starts with ticklish guys
As Tickled establishes quickly, David Farrier is apparently well-known in his native New Zealand as a human-interest reporter, interviewing celebrities and covering amusingly unusual bits of life here and there. So, when he discovered Competitive Endurance Tickling online, a "sport" featuring guys tied up and tickled by other guys, he thought he found an interesting subject to profile. But after contacting the company behind it, he was barranged with homophobic insults, letters promising lawsuits and more, and found himself drawn into a shadowy world of fake names, real threats, and utterly damaging online harassment. Out of his search for the truth behind this bizarre corner of the internet came the documentary Tickled.
The guts of the film's plot should only be learned by watching how the story unfolds, first innocently and then in ways both disturbing and frightening. The tale of easy money, online lies and real-world pain is unbelievable in many ways, because it's better to believe it couldn't happen than to accept that what the film uncovers has gone on for decades. But it's also the story of plain and simple investigative journalism and dogged detective work, as threads are revealed, cross over themselves and build into and even deeper, more engrossing mystery. Though Tickled can be lighthearted at times, as Farrier (who comes off as a Kiwi Louis Theroux) and his team close in on the answers they are seeking, the film gets legitimately intense and suspenseful.
Now, not unlike Magnolia's documentary darling of 2015, The Wolfpack, this film has been the subject of questions about its legitimacy (mostly from some of the people at the center of its investigation.) The slick style of the production and questions about why those in the crosshairs would sign off on their involvement certainly make it easy to wonder if maybe it is a fake. (A website supposedly created by one of the involved, dedicated to exposing the filmmakers as frauds, doesn't help either.) This is the problem with documentaries today in a post-reality TV world: everything arrives with questions, and sometimes it's only the people behind and in front of the cameras that really know what happened.
While the questions about the film's veracity are hashed out in courts both legal (two suits against the filmmakers have already been dropped) and of public opinion, this documentary depict the battle between money and justice, similar to the lawsuits that killed Gawker Media. Journalism struggles in a society that holds little respect for the unsexy truth, thanks to rich people who play upon an electorate's mistrust for intelligence, and if the press can be held hostage by those who can afford to pay lawyers, the public won't be able to afford to find out the truth.
Whether the story revealed in Tickled is the truth or an elaborate hoax, you'll be able to build your own conclusion in the end, particularly since much of the story is a matter of public record (but don't ruin it for yourself by searching before watching.) And whether it's truth or fiction, it serves notice that Farrier knows how to tell a truly gripping story (even more so if it's not true.) The only issue is the ending, as, following a late-game deus ex machina that feels unfortunately coincidental, the pay-off simply doesn't deliver to the level of satisfaction the rest of the film feels like it's building to. (This may be the biggest proof that it is true, since a fictional work would have a better finale.) No matter what you believe though, you have definitely never seen anything like this before.
The Disc
The DVD of Tickled arrives in a standard-width keepcase. The disc has a simple static, anamorphic-widescreen menu offering only one option: watch the film.. There are no audio options and no subtitles.
The Quality
The anamorphic-widescreen 1.85:1 transfer on this disc is quite solid, whether you are looking at the newly shot footage or the archival material sprinkled throughout, though the older online video looks its age. Color is spot-on and the level of fine detail is quite good for a standard-definition release. (The close-ups during a tickle session are uncomfortably crisp.) There are no concerns about digital distractions.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 track on this DVD does a fine job with the film's audio, as the voices are easy to understand and the music gets solid separation in the mix, with some boost from the surrounds. There's nothing about the aural presentation that stands out particularly, but Tickled doesn't offer anything that would lend itself to any big sound moments. No complaints here.
Disappointingly, this DVD doesn't include any extras (and there's no info online regarding any extras on the Region B Blu-ray.) The thing is, there's a follow-up short The Tickle King, which offers an update on the story, which really should have been included. It's currently available on YouTube, but streaming is far from permanent.
Tickled is one of the most gripping, upsetting, and insane documentaries in recent memory, a perfect film for our times (even if came out years ago), becoming sadly more relevant as society struggles with the Trump administration's abuses of the very concept of truth. Finally released on DVD, the film looks and sounds fine, but offers no extras, not even the follow-up short, which is a must-watch, giving more screentime to co-director Dylan Reeve. But even without extras, this is a must-see movie.

The 'tn3270' URI Scheme
RFC - Proposed Standard (June 2011; No errata)

Updates: 1041, 1738, 2355
This document is the specification of the 'tn3270' Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) scheme, which is used to designate the access to the
resources available via Telnet 3270 mode (TN3270) and Telnet 3270
Enhanced mode (TN3270E).  It updates RFC 1041 and RFC 2355, which
specify these protocols, and RFC 1738, which firstly mentioned this
URI scheme without defining its syntax and semantics.

This document specifies the 'tn3270' Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI) scheme, which is used to designate the access to the resources
available via Telnet 3270 mode (TN3270) and Telnet 3270 Enhanced mode
(TN3270E).
Telnet 3270 mode (TN3270) is a name used to denote the special mode
of Telnet session [RFC0854].  If it is used, the 3270 data stream
[GA23-0059] is used when transmitting data during the Telnet session,
whereas the Telnet 3270 Regime option [RFC1041] is used to enable and
negotiate its use.  (See [RFC1576] for some other background
information on TN3270.)  Telnet 3270 Enhanced mode (TN3270E) has a
similar principle; see RFC 2355 [RFC2355] for its specification.
The 'tn3270' URI scheme was firstly mentioned in RFC 1738 [RFC1738]
as used in URIs that designate the access to "Interactive 3270
emulation sessions".  Following the creation of the URI schemes
registry per RFC 4395 [RFC4395], this scheme was added to the
"Provisional URI Schemes" sub-registry in the "Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) Schemes" IANA registry [URIREG].  However, RFC 1738
[RFC1738] does not give any definition of syntax or semantics of the
'tn3270' URIs and does not have any guidelines for registration of
this scheme.
Since there is no acceptable specification of the 'tn3270' URI, there
is a risk that somebody might try to implement it with some new,
possibly undocumented, syntax, just by looking at the IANA registry.
In order to minimize such risk, this document gives a precise
definition of syntax, semantics, use of this URI, and it registers
the corresponding scheme.  It also updates RFC 2355 [RFC2355], RFC
1738 [RFC1738], and RFC 1041 [RFC1041].
The generic syntax of URIs is described in RFC 3986 [RFC3986].
Registration procedures for new URI schemes are defined in RFC 4395

Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria (aka The EiE Project) was set up as the next step from two citizens' protests in 2010 on our missing President, killings in Jos & fuel scarcity – March 16 protest to the National Assembly & April 13 protest to the Lagos State Governor. Based on the mobilization done for the protests, it started as a loose network of individuals and organizations committed to changing the dynamics of accountability to citizens by public officials. The protests were organized primarily via email, SMS, Twitter, Blackberry Messenger and Facebook. It was the beginning of what would be EiE's heavy reliance on technology as a tool of education, engagement and mobilization.
EiE began operations in January 2011 with grants from Omidyar Network and MacArthur Foundation. It was formally registered in July 2012. In its 10 years as a formal organisation, EiE has been managed by an average of 6 staff members, yet its impact has been felt in Nigeria and on the African continent.
EiE's flagship campaign is R|S|V|P – Register | Select | Vote NOT Fight | Protect. It is a play on the popular acronym and the idea is that the four letters represent the activities young people, and indeed all Nigerians, need to complete to positively impact governance in Nigeria.
Technology is our tool of choice as it's less expensive; it's uncensored and it has the potential to positively influence Nigeria's largest voting demographic – those between 18 and 35 years old.

So it was in 1992/93, that Robin set off for Brixham, Devon, UK, with a determination to meet people who had built and sailed the Brixham sailing trawlers. He wanted to find out as much as he could about the boats and the men. His initial contact was with the Brixham Museum and Historic Society. They kindly gave him special access to study their collection of models out of hours. He found these models to be a wonderful resource, but needed more information. Robin eventually made contact with two venerable Brixham men, Alf Worth and Ron Pillar, both of whom had a great knowledge of the subject.
"Most of the boats had finished their working life in 1939 at the start of WW2. Today, the men who worked these boats have all passed away or are too old to remember"
Alf and Ron were themselves directly descended from owners or involved in the building of these boats and so were an inspiration to Robin.
Built in 1916 by J.W. & A. Upham at Brixham for Samuel Holland.
Guess Again makes a handsome sight, as she dashes home out of a watery dawn sky. She is under single reefed main and mizzen. Brixham men often chose quite curious names for their boats. Guess Again BM346 was the second boat the skipper had owned; the first one was called Guess.
"Guess Again, racing home with the catch, I like the colours, the rig, set of the sails sea and sky as accurate and to my eye beautiful"
Built in 1906, the Glory was owned by Samuel Pine Ellis. She was of a class known locally as Big Sloops, crewed by four men and a boy. The great beam of the trawl is stowed on the port side and hangs well over the stern. Brixham trawlers sailed as far afield as Yorkshire, the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea. The Glory is shown under reefed main and mizzen.

'Scandalize': a method of reducing sail in fore-and-aft rig by hauling up the tack and lowering the peak of a sail.
The Glory BM16 was built in 1906. She was one of a large fleet of Brixham sailing trawlers that were built and operated from this famous Devonshire fishing port. In the year she was built, there were 220 smacks registered as fishing out of Brixham, landing 3,300 tons.

How San Francisco's public libraries are embracing their changing role

In one corner, a gaggle of teens huddles over laptops. Across the room, another group plays board games. Behind the closed door of a music studio, two boys record on a guitar and keyboard, while another plays video games on a massive projector. There's a maker space and study nooks, and the whiteboard on the wall advertises activities like a book club and creative writing group. The space is loud, full of kids eating and talking. This is "The Mix," the teen space in the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL). The boisterous teen zone is very different than a traditional library, but the SFPL is anything but ordinary.
"The Mix," now in its fifth year, is a nearly 5,000-foot section of the main library designed by its target audience: youth. Program manager Cathy Cormier explained the space's history while simultaneously filling requests and fielding patrons' questions. "The Mix" was created using grant funding from the MacArthur Foundation and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. A team of teenagers worked with an architect to design the space. Cormier laughed as she pointed to the small staff offices in the corner. "They said, 'You have too much space for staff. It should be a youth space.' So of course, that's what we did," she said, referring to the choice to shrink the square footage allotted to staff.
The programs at "The Mix" are all free and open to drop-ins, and they're mostly fairly informal — on purpose. "We use what we call HOMAGO — a mix of hanging out, messing around and geeking out," said Cormier. "Because the youth will engage on a higher level eventually, but they have to get comfortable. And for some of them, their lives are really high pressure, so they appreciate that this is a chill space."
"The Mix" illustrates how one library system is rethinking its role as the digital age has expanded people's access to information while in many ways weakening community ties. In response to these kinds of social and cultural changes, SFPL leaders decided to double down on the institution's commitment to social connection and serving its community, and embrace flexibility and accessibility. The SFPL's dynamism earned it a National Library of the Year Award last year (this year's winner was L.A. county).
Through programs in multiple languages, art exhibits, speaker series and a variety of accessibility resources, the library manages to reach a variety of populations. In total, the SFPL ecosystem, including the main branch and all neighborhood branches, coordinates 1,500 programs a month for all age groups.
The power of free public space
One of the SFPL's goals is to provide a space where people can connect to one another and to services, for free. Most places where people spend time together and connect with others now — bars, coffee shops, gyms — cost money, and that can be a barrier for people to engage. Libraries are a rare exception to commercial spaces. The more events and community engagement opportunities they hold, the better the community is served. "Everything is free, and everyone is welcome, so we bring different types of people together," said SFPL communication manager Mindy Linetzky. "Different races, ages, socioeconomic differences are all together. That doesn't happen a lot in our country. So it's a place to break down barriers."
The SFPL's perspective reflects larger societal shifts and how they've affected what Americans want from their libraries.
"The library's role is very much changing in the whole country, and the San Francisco Public Library is at the forefront," said Linetzky. "We have an intentional goal of community connection. A hundred years ago the goal was for people to have access to books, since they didn't have it. But now, people are very hungry to be connected."
Although people still value traditional library services like book borrowing, public opinion is also shifting toward the view of public libraries as community centers, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. More than six in ten Americans (63%) say it is "very important" for public libraries to provide free events and activities, such as classes and cultural events, for people of all ages.
SFPL's branch network is key to fostering long term, deep connections with residents and helping to create relevant programming. "Each branch knows their neighborhood, and they know what their community is interested in," said Linetzky.
Building community, branch by branch
Branch librarians work with community members, local nonprofits and other partners to develop programs, and are a valuable resource for residents to connect via informal conversations, Linetzky said: "The best way to get the community involved is the relationship between the branch staff and the people who come in every day." Because the branch libraries are smaller, they are a more accessible place to form relationships.
Along with general programming, the library has programs geared towards particularly marginalized populations, including services for the deaf, elderly and home bound, as well as non-English speaking populations. City residents can have books mailed to them if they can't come to the library, and there are full time Spanish and Chinese translators on staff. These groups are more vulnerable to social isolation, so targeted programming is important.
Community members are consulted about library decisions, including the creation of spaces like "The Mix" and others. The branches all have community rooms where residents can plan their own events and clubs. Whenever major decisions are made the library's members are involved — even those who might not have access to other routes to political engagement. "We are renovating the Mission Library, and we brought the architect out to the story hour," said Linetzky. Story hour is a time for children and caregivers to come listen to picture books read by librarians and volunteers; the Mission branch has a very popular Spanish language story hour, which was what the architect came to visit. "We asked the caregivers what they wanted to see in the library, and it was all in Spanish."
Often, branch programming is coordinated with larger, city-wide programs to create a unified calendar of events that responds to local needs. Every year, the SFPL puts on the "One City, One Book" event, where every branch hosts a program related to a book chosen for its impact that year.
The role of the SFPL isn't just programming, however. It also sees providing shelter and a safe space for people to relax as key parts of its mission. In a city like San Francisco, with extreme income inequality and a homelessness crisis, few indoor public spaces exist that are open to all. Every branch of the San Francisco Public library is open a minimum of 50 hours a week, and the main branch is open 60 hours per week. During periods of extreme weather, it is sometimes kept open even longer. Last year when wildfire smoke blanketed the city for days, the main branch was kept open extra hours, Linetzky said, as a haven for the city's large homeless population that needed a way to escape the polluted air. "We have a lot of folks who live on the street who are in here every day," said Linetzky.
"We need a space for people to connect that's free, that's open. It's an expensive city to live in," she added. The library is "a place where you can go and be part of a community."
