Patrick Bianchi's "Pirate Cove": MeFOTO Instagram Weekly Winner
December 18, 2014 by MeFOTO Blog Category Family Photography, Giveaway, Travel Photography Tags MeFOTO Giveaway, Instagram giveaway, sidekick360, Walt Disney World, Disney World
Congratulations to Patrick Bianchi, last week's SideKick360 winner, for this "accidentally awesome" shot taken earlier this month in Disney World.
"Wow! I can't believe I won!! I'm an amateur photographer from New Jersey who really only started to find his groove this year. I got my first DSLR (a Rebel T3) in 2011, and would only pick it up once in a while to play with, but never really learned much about it. Then, this year I started to read up about photography - A LOT! During this time, I came to the conclusion that my Rebel was not really sufficient for the type of photography I wanted to do. This past summer I bought my Canon 70D, which is what I used to take this picture. I practiced with it as much as possible in preparation for my trip to Disney World two weeks ago - it would be Christmastime, so I knew I'd be taking a ton of pictures. I'd also want to take some dark ride photos while I was there and that's how this one came to be.
For this shot, I used a Sigma Art Series 30mm prime lens. I used aperture priority set to f/2 and let the camera decide on shutter speed (1/10 sec) and ISO (3200). On these dark Disney rides, you need a wide aperture in order to keep the shutter speed fast enough to not have a blurry mess. For those unfamiliar with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, they have an animatronic Jack Sparrow at the very end. I was taking pictures of him while the boat was moving, and then we stopped just ahead of it waiting for other boats to unload. Having the boat stopped allowed me to stabilize the camera a bit more and get a longer exposure of the lantern and barrels. Since the aperture was open pretty wide, it created a nice depth of field and a really cool look. When I was going through and tweaking my photos from the trip in Lightroom, I saw how accidentally awesome this one came out and knew I had to post it. And I'm sure glad I did!! - Patrick

Oliver Rogers' "Posing": MeFOTO Instagram Weekly Winner
December 05, 2014 by Colleen Carlisle-Nicholas Category Bird Photography, Travel Photography Tags MeFOTO Giveaway, sidekick360, Instagram giveaway
Love photographing animals, but having trouble getting out into the wilderness? Why not try a small, local zoo? SideKick360 winner, Oliver Rogers did just that when a surgery forced him to stay close to home.
"This photo was taken at the Naples Zoo. I had ACL surgery that week, so I wasn't able to do my typical photos of wildlife and fish on my own. I had to go to a place that was accessible for me. My first thought was the zoo. I found a very friendly pair of Military Macaws. This guy loved modeling for me." - Oliver
Kirk Ragoonath's "Gator": MeFOTO Instagram Weekly Winner
November 21, 2014 by MeFOTO Blog Category Travel Photography, nature photography, Wildlife Photography Tags American Alligator, Florida Everglades, MeFOTO Instagram Giveaway, Instagram giveaway
Stretching from just south of Orlando all the way to Florida Bay, the Florida Everglades is a tropical wetlands covering more than 734 square miles. Kirk Rangoonath, our SideKick360 winner for 11/14/14, has spent years capturing the beauty of this unique ecosystem.
"If you ever get to visit the Florida Everglades, the first thing you will probably notice is the abundance of American Alligators. I have taken quite a few alligator pics over the years, but I really liked how this image turned out with the lack of wind and low light conditions. I usually shoot in direct sunlight, so I really wasn't sure how the image would come out. In this case, it seems to have worked out well. Learning everyday with every shot! This image was taken in Big Cypress National Preserve on a beautiful late afternoon." - Kirk

Nigeria Pushes for Companionship in Labour to Improve Maternal Health Services
"My husband was with me in the delivery room during the birth of our second child. His presence made the labour pain tolerable. It gave me a sense of calm as it had a psychological and emotional effect on me," says Mrs Taliah Chukwuma, a businesswoman.
"We were fortunate that the hospital where I delivered allowed spouses or relatives to be present in delivery rooms. We had been looking forward to the experience," Mrs Chukwuma, one of the Nigerian women who have benefitted from the companionship in labour programme supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) adds.

Q: Traveling Salesman Problem implementation language i am trying to develop a web application using HTML, PHP, and java script and i will include the Traveling salesman problem. should i use python for implementation or stick to java script? and what is the difference between them? which one is less complicated?

A: This ultimately depends on which language you prefer coding it in. If you have much more experience in Python go with that if not stick to JavaScript. If you want a fast algorithm for traveling salesman. I think JavaScript is a lot more faster than Python. This also depends on what algorithm you implement. If you want an easy algorithm to code I would recommend the nearest neighbor algorithm. You can check out more algorithms here if you'd like to know more about that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem.

A: Traveling salesman is not an easy problem to solve efficiently. Luckily, Google, in its wisdom, has a robust implementation: https://developers.google.com/optimization/routing/tsp. So use that.

A: Adding additional languages to your application adds more complexity to your project. You already have two programming languages and a markup language in your project. Use javascript if you want to solve the problem on the client, or use php if you want to solve the problem on the server. If python is your language of choice, you can serve webpages from a python framework like flask instead of apache/php.

Angry Americans: How political rage helps campaigns but hurts democracy – Steven Webster (09/14/2020)

Steven Webster, Indiana University
As the 2020 presidential election draws near, one thing is clear: America is an angry nation. From protests over persistent racial injustice to white nationalist-linked counterprotests, anger is on display across the country.
The national ire relates to inequality, the government's coronavirus response, economic concerns, race and policing. It's also due, in large part, to deliberate and strategic choices made by American politicians to stoke voter anger for their own electoral advantage.
Donald Trump's attempts to enrage his base are so plentiful that progressive magazine The Nation called him a "merchant of anger." Meanwhile, his opponent, Joe Biden, elicits anger toward the president, calling Trump a "toxic presence" who has "cloaked America in darkness."
Anger-filled political rhetoric is nothing new. From Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon to Newt Gingrich, politicians have long known that angry voters are loyal voters. People will support their party's candidates locally and nationally so long as they remain sufficiently outraged at the opposing party.
While inciting voter anger helps candidates win elections, research from my book, "American Rage: How Anger Shapes Our Politics," shows that the effects of anger outlast elections. And that can have serious consequences for American democracy's long-term health.
Trust in government
Political anger lowers citizens' trust in the national government, causing people to view it with hostility, skepticism and outright contempt. Due to the increasingly national focus of politics, that anger is often directed squarely at the federal government, not state or local officials.

That creates a governance problem. As previous scholars have demonstrated, trust facilitates bipartisan lawmaking and support for social welfare programs that seek to make society more equitable, among other policies.
Americans' trust in government has been declining for six decades.
Scholars have argued that party affiliation determines trust in government. When one's preferred party controls government, that trust is high; when the opposing party has power, it's low.
While partisanship does affect people's trust in various political institutions, it cannot explain why overall faith in the U.S. government has been dropping for decades. After all, party control of Washington switches frequently.
My research finds sustained anger is a more likely suspect for Americans' diminished trust in government.
Though American political anger has many sources, it was Ronald Reagan's 1981 assertion that "government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" that really began to solidify Republicans' anger at the federal government.
This statement, rooted in the conservative preference for individualism and free markets over government intervention, crystallized latent Republican anger with what many considered to be an activist federal government. That anger is in full bloom today.
Anger with the government is not simply a conservative phenomenon. Liberals are mad, too – usually because they believe the government is not doing enough to address racial and social inequalities. That anger, too, is in full bloom today.

Angry people tend to negatively judge the source of their anger. So when politicians continually label each other with crude epithets and infuriate people by taking – or not taking – certain actions, the public responds by lowering their evaluations of Washington.
Eventually, they question what government is even capable of.
Health of American democracy
Anger causes Americans to adopt attitudes that run contrary to the democratic ideals of the nation, my research shows.
It makes Americans see supporters of the opposing political party as less intelligent than themselves. Arguably more harmful for democracy, anger also makes people see supporters of the opposing political party as a threat to the country's well-being.
These findings help explain why both Democrats and Republicans tend to hold a dim view of each other. Recent polling data finds that nearly two-thirds of Republicans see Democrats as "closed-minded," while approximately half of Democrats see Republicans as "immoral." In 2016 only half of Republicans and a third of Democrats held these views. Partisan antipathy is rising.
Anger fuels distrust in government. David McNew/Getty Images
Angry people generally want to blame somebody – or some group – for their problems, whether they are the real or perceived cause. Political campaigns, logically, work to elicit anger at the opposing party. This means that their supporters are quick to blame those who disagree with them for the country's shortcomings.
Consequently, voter anger causes politics to move beyond a competition of ideas and philosophies and into a zero-sum game in which each side's gain is the other's loss. That weakens people's commitment to the democratic norms and values that have long been the linchpin of the U.S. political system, such as tolerance and a respect for minority opinions.
In 2018 the Pew Research Center found that 40% of Americans believed democracy was working "not too well" or "not at all well." This year 62% of Americans surveyed by Pew agreed that the structure of the U.S. government needs "significant changes."
[Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation's newsletter.]
Democracy may not disappear because candidates keep stoking Americans' ire at each other and at the political system. My work finds that discontented Americans don't want an entirely different form of government, despite global concerns that the U.S. is "backsliding" toward authoritarianism.
But anger is corrosive. It diminishes the quality of American democracy well after the politicians who used anger as a campaign strategy have won and left office.

Documentation of larp is an important form to share knowledge and experience about the games being run. Life Under Occupation is a book documenting the larp Halat Hisar (2013) and it was just released in digital format. We caught up the books editor Juhana Pettersson, who also was one of the larps main organizers, to ask some questions.
Juhana Pettersson, photo by Mika Kettunen.
Can you tell us about Halat Hisar?
Halat hisar was a Palestinian-Finnish larp played in Finland in 2013. Its aim was to bring together Palestinian and Nordic larpers, increase awareness of issues in Palestine and create a game where the situation in occupied Palestine was recreated in an alternate reality context as occupied Finland.
How did the book project come about?
Halat hisar was always a twofold project: we wanted to make a larp, but we didn't want to limit it to the people who participated. For us, it was important to talk about the larp and the issues it dealt with to a wider audience. We did media outreach to achieve this, but also wanted to document the game for people who wanted to learn more.
Have you worked with any other kind of documentation besides the book?
All of the documentation builds on the work done during the game by our two great photographers, Tuomas Puikkonen and Katri Lassila. Our aim was to document as much as we could, and then work that material into two publications: the book, and a forthcoming short documentary film.
What is the structure of the book and documentary, what did you decide to document?
The documentary is still in the works, but will focus on player experiences and issues raised by the game. The book largely follows the structure of the game, starting with the core background and ideas it followed and then going into the actual events. Like many larp documentation efforts, some of the material came to be because of active editorial effort, and some was more about collecting existing stuff.
A personal reason for making this book was all the great stuff that different people had made for the game. I wanted to see these things collected and maybe appreciated by new audiences. For example, the wonderful world material by Kaisa Kangas, the game design by Mohamad Rabah, Fatima AbdulKarim and Riad Mustafa or the photos by Tuomas Puikkonen. Some of the articles have been reworked by the authors from things originally written to debrief the game on social media.
All photos in the article including the cover photo are taken by Tuomas Puikkonen unless otherwise noted.


Hello, and welcome to TOKI! My name is Michael, and I hope to be your TOKI English instructor. My goal as a teacher is quite simple: to help you get to where you want to go in your study of English. Whether you are aiming for proficiency in English for use in business, law, writing, reading, or conversation, I will do my very best to help you achieve your goals.
I have been a teacher for fifteen years, teaching all ages from primary school to high school to college to adults. Before becoming a teacher, I was an editor of books and periodicals for lawyers and judges. Since I edited legal periodicals, you may have guessed that I studied the law. Well, you are correct! I was a lawyer in private practice before becoming an editor, which means that I graduated from law school.
I received a Juris Doctor degree from Boston College Law School in Massachusetts and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Trinity College in Connecticut.I also received a certificate in secondary teaching from the University of Virginia and a certificate as a teacher of English to speakers of other languages from Arizona State University. Finally, I am certified to teach online through TOP, a teaching online program.
As I said, I will do my best to help my students achieved their goals. I use all sorts of media in my teaching – books, magazines, videos, audio. Simple, natural conversation can lead to great things, and one should never be afraid to make a mistake, because mistakes are how we learnt to improve!
My hobbies include reading, writing, cycling, and music. I love jazz, and I play piano, guitar, and electric bass. If you ever visit my city, you might find me playing cocktail piano at local wineries and breweries!

The survey results indicate that the percentage of Jerusalem residents who made use of other functions of the mobile phone was lower than the percentage for other major cities in Israel. This is for a correlation exists between level of religious observance and possession of a mobile phone in Israel.
The first cellular phone company began operating in Israel in 1986, and since that time the mobile phone appears to have significantly changed our lifestyle. The cellular communications market in Israel has recently been placed on the public agenda following a series of reforms and changes in this area that are intended to increase market competition and lower prices for the consumer.
According to data of the 2010 social survey of the Central Bureau of Statistics, 91% of Israel's residents had a mobile phone. This figure compares to 85% in 2006 and 77% in 2002. The percentage of mobile phone owners in Jerusalem was identical to the national average (91%) and slightly lower than the figure for Tel Aviv (92%), Haifa (93%), and Rishon LeZion (96%). The survey results indicate that the percentage of Jerusalem residents who made use of other functions of the mobile phone was lower than the percentage for other major cities in Israel. For example, the data indicate that the percentage of Jerusalemites who sent a text message during the month preceding the survey (among mobile phone owners) was 54%, compared to 79% among Tel Aviv residents and 66% in Haifa. The results were consistent for Internet use through the mobile phone: 12% in Jerusalem, as opposed to 23% in Tel Aviv and 21% in Haifa. Regarding camera use through the mobile phone, the results were 44% in Jerusalem, as opposed to 58% in Tel Aviv and 52% in Haifa.
The data indicate that a correlation exists between level of religious observance and possession of a mobile phone in Israel. Within the Jewish population, the percentage of cell phone owners among the secular (95%) was higher than the percentage among the traditional religious (91%), the religious (90%), or the Haredi (86%). Within the non-Jewish population as well, the percentage of mobile phone owners among the non-religious (92%) was higher than among the religious (90%) or very religious (67%). Analysis by age group also reveals differences. For example, within the age group of 20-44 years, the percentage of mobile phone owners exceeded 95%. Among those aged 65-74 years the percentage was 81%, and for those aged 75 and above the percentage was 61%.

It's no Get Out, but that might not be a bad thing.
Who do you trust? That's the question Jordan Peele has everyone asking with the long-awaited release of Us, Peele's second directorial debut and the newest (and hottest) horror movie out right now. While it lacks the comedic element that made Get Out so refreshing, the movie certainly makes up for it in how deep the plot gets. This is that movie that will leave you unsettled and uncomfortable. There's a reason why Us is a horror movie.
Starring Black Panther costars Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, Us starts off with the simple family-on-vacation trope. What awaits them is a horror unlike any other: evil doppelgängers. Yes, that's right, the villain this time is ourselves. But it only gets deeper and more complicated from there.
Adelaide Wilson, played by Nyong'o, is the quiet, shy mother married to well-meaning but slightly clueless Gabe. Daughter Zora is stuck in her snobby, young teenager phase and Jason, the younger son is obsessed with magic tricks. Other than Adelaide not having enough rhythm to properly snap to I Got Five On It, it seems like a normal family out on vacation.
What her family doesn't know is that Adelaide suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder brought on by a terrifying but mysterious incident in a funhouse full of mirrors. We're given a dark, eerie look into young Adelaide walking unaccompanied into the mirror house, but left in the dark as to what- or who, Adelaide saw. While she only goes missing for about 15 minutes, her parents reveal to a therapist how severely traumatized Adelaide is: she refuses to speak, and her own mother barely recognizes her anymore.
Back to present day, we start seeing the unraveling of Adelaide's sanity, clearly uncomfortable at the very beach where she had encountered whatever it was that she saw nearly 30 years ago. When her son goes missing, she rightfully panics, claiming that him running off is something they cannot allow. Her son fails to mention that he had seen a creepy figure dripped in blood just standing like a scarecrow in the middle of the beach. Casual.
Things pick up once the family books it back home. Lights go off, Adelaide is terrified and boom- "I think there's people outside." Much to Wilson's horror, the strangers outside look exactly like them, covered in red jumpsuits holding golden scissors. Except, the family is off. It's just not quite them either. Fans of the trailer will recall Gabe telling the doppelgänger family that he's ready to go crazy, and do they bring crazy. The movie takes a Funny Games meets The Strangers turn, with the twin family holding the 'real' family hostage. Adelaide's look-alike lays it out for the family: they are their shadows, having lived miserable versions of their 'real' lives. In fact, Red, Adelaide's clone, admits to having waited years for her revenge. And so begins the family's epic fight to get away from the doppelgängers.
But it's not just the physical situation that is terrifying. It's more of not knowing who they are, and why they are there that's unsettling. When Adelaide asks Red who they are, Red looks at her with hollow eyes, saying perhaps the scariest thing she says in the whole movie: they are Americans.
What could be the reason behind this? Major spoiler alerts at this point.
Peele approaches this movie as social commentary on the American identity as a whole. In their final showdown, Red reveals to Adelaide that they were tethers, an abandoned science experiment created by the U.S. government to attempt cloning people. The experiment, however, was a failure because the clones did not have the same souls as their actual counterparts. So, the tethers were left to wander the millions of tunnels found abandoned underneath the subways of the United States- a little tidbit mentioned in the beginning of the movie.
So, these clones are back not because it is the end of times, which is what Bible passage Jeremiah 11:11 hints at (also sprinkled throughout the film), but rather because Red, the only tether able to communicate and think properly, is their leader.
How did this happen? Well, it turns out that the thing that had traumatized little Adelaide was seeing Red in the mirror- except it wasn't really a mirror. And also, they pulled a whole Parent's Trap. That means the Adelaide we know is actually not Adelaide- it's Red!
In the time between Red being raised as a child with suspect PTSD and finally reuniting with her clone, the 'real' Adelaide is forced to take her place in the strange and dark underworld of the tethers. This makes Adelaide angry enough to start planning her revenge, an effort 30 years in the making.
As to the other clones that make up the really creepy Hands Across America, it's simply another hint at the bigger theme of the betrayal of the American government, and the American identity itself.
Hands Across America was a real charity event dedicated to raising awareness about worldwide hunger and famine. On May 25th, 1986, 6.5 million people tried to hold hands across the country to raise money. Out of their goal of $50 million, they only raised about $34 million- and only half of that was actually used for donations. The failed charitable act is a reminder of the failed promises our government has made to the populations that most desperately need help and resources. It's also the last human thing Adelaide remembers after being thrown into the Tether world, as we see her handcuffed to a bed in a Hands Across America t-shirt.
So, what could be the real message behind Us? Perhaps it is as simple as that the government has played the role of God for too long, and that they have failed those that need them the most. Or maybe it is that deep down, we are all hiding behind ideas, beliefs and movements that fail to do anything to really help others. In fact, they end up hurting us. Perhaps the biggest lesson from this movie, though, is that at the end of the day, sometimes we can't trust even ourselves- especially if we hide behind masks. It's a lesson all too real for our own modern day horrors .


If you are coming to Russia for tourism or business purposes for a short or medium period of time you should think about renting apartment instead of staying in hotels. Such apartments are usually situated in the center of the city.
Among the main advantages of renting apartment in Russia is getting more privacy and more comfort comparing to the hotels of the same price.
Such services as satellite TV, free Internet and international phone calls are common. The majority of Moscow and Saint Petersburg apartments are located in modern buildings with security services.
Today, the main difficulty of renting an apartment in Russia is to sort out in a sea of different proposals to choose the best combination of price, location, condition and flat area.
In addition, the term of renting is of great significance. There is a separate sector of the "summer rental" when the hosts during few summer months leave the house and rent it to the guests. These flats are usually 5-20% cheaper than similar flats offered at any other time in the market, but you will not be able to bring your furniture there (usually an apartment for rent is with a host environment), or to make cosmetic repairs to your liking, and in early autumn you will have to move out.
The cheapest segment of Russian rental market is the one with the rooms in communal apartments. For many students or visitors it is the only way to get a proper living space for a modest fee. These apartments are located primarily in the center of Russian cities, making it geographically convenient. However, to live in a communal, of course, is not easy.
Even if the neighbors behind the wall will not appear noisy and unpleasant, common in all means of this word bathroom can be a challenge. In addition to the variant of renting one or two rooms in a communal apartment the most inexpensive option is to live in the room already rented by someone.
Economy class apartments are the most popular ones on Russian renting market. They are located in "ordinary" buildings of Khrushchev or Brezhnev era. The windows of these apartments are often out to busy and noisy street, heating station or plant. For your safety, you should avoid nighttime walks near your home. However, the apartments are not that bad - standard one, two, three living rooms flats. As a rule, they need repairs, but they have kitchen, refrigerator and stove.
It happens that before renting an apartment the owner is doing some cosmetic repairs in a hurry. In such cases, the walls are covered with paperhangings, the floor is covered by linoleum, furniture, if available, is not new and cheap, TV and washing machine are not available. The building is panel or brick, the ceilings are 2,4-2,65 m, combined bathroom, kitchen 6 sq.m. If you are lucky there is also a little balcony.
The yards of these houses are always shared with all the people living there, with most of the area given over to the playground, so the car will have to be put along the sidewalk under the window. There are no garbage disposal systems and elevators in five-story buildings.
The flats of average price level can be rented in various districts of Russian city. They are brick buildings in the center or new buildings on the outskirts. The apartments for rent may be either empty or have new economy class furniture from Ikea or middle 90-ies. Imported refrigerator, washing machine and TV are available.
This is a decent option for those who are looking for a reliable shelter for two or three years. The demand for this category of apartments is steady, but the owners usually pay a lot of attention to the selection of guests - preferably Russians Slavic appearance (except for residents of the western countries), single people or childless couples. The presence of children under 14 and pets greatly complicates the search for an apartment.
The market for Russian luxury apartments is growing every year - the demand for high-quality and expensive real estate increases in proportion to the welfare of the residents. Therefore, the proposal of so-called elite apartments is huge. They are rented mainly by employees of foreign companies, the offspring of wealthy businessmen, who started an independent life, senior managers.
These apartments have high ceilings (from 2,8 to 3,6 m) and are renovated with full replacement of wiring, pipes and plumbing. Usually there are two bathrooms: the one for guests and the other for the owner with the entrance from the bedroom. The furniture must have a roomy closet and imported kitchen with all necessary appliances.
All these apartments are equipped with internal alarm system. The flats are located in houses with intercom and video surveillance systems. Also there is concierge at the entrance of the building.
Russian apartments of de luxe class are works of art; each of them is unique and is only for the representatives of creative or financial elite of society. These apartments are located in expensive new club houses or in completely renovated buildings, which can be architectural monuments.
In this segment of real estate there is practically no apartments with a little number of rooms - mostly apartments occupy half or even a whole floor of a building with windows facing in two or three sides of the world, often two-storied, with spectacular views from the windows. There are between two and five bathrooms available together with a special dressing room. Kitchen and bathrooms are equipped with expensive equipment.
Typically, de luxe apartments have imported designer furniture and home theater. Often there are such features as a winter garden, a wall-mounted giant aquarium, a system of "smart home", exotic and luxurious finishing materials such as gold or leather.
Of course, such apartments are fully insured against accidents or burglary, there are alarm systems and security services. The rental price includes the fee for parking space (one to two places on underground parking under the house or in the case of restored mansions in a closed courtyard).


This could be one of the issue you might face while using service call or HTTP Post to server. Though this issue rarely happens but in case you encounter such error in your production, possibility is your client application is facing issue connecting to the server due to proxy server.
If you come across such issue, this quick blog post will help you to resolve it. You don't need to do much, but just a configuration settings will help you.
You might face this issue when a client is running through a HTTP 1.0 proxy server. The client (the .asmx or WCF service proxy without any configuration) is sending a HTTP 1.1 request and the proxy rejects it before any server could ever get involved. Some server sends the 417 error as part of the header in response.
In .NET, the System.Net.HttpWebRequest adds the header 'HTTP header "Expect: 100-Continue"' to every request unless you explicitly ask it not to by setting this static property "System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue" to false.

When I first started blogging regularly, I planned to chronicle my efforts to get out of "the last banana club." This post is the first one I ever wrote about my goal of improving my 5K time to the point that I could finish in less than 30 minutes (and have a broader post-race snack selection than that last sad banana half).
As I approach the three-year mark of that goal (without having achieved it), I find myself utterly unable to commit to any other goals for 2012 (I usually have 3 goals for each year). It is time to admit that, although I have definitely made progress, something I am doing (or not doing) has to change in order to get me there.
I finally purchased a heart rate monitor. I purchased the heart rate monitor when I entered into a coaching relationship with Coaches Jeff and Diane of PRS Fit. I have spent this first week talking back and forth with Jeff about my goals of running a 5K in less than 30:00 and completing the Boston 13.1 Marathon for Autism Speaks on September 16, 2012. One of the keys of establishing the coaching plan is an assessment. The assessment thus far has involved the heart rate monitoring and preparing to adjust my weekly workout schedule.
I did a maximum heart rate test on Tuesday (and, for the record, ran my first sub 10:00 minute mile in the process!); and lactate threshold testing on Thursday. Yesterday involved one of the first adjustments I have had to make to my workout plans. Prior to having a coach, I had planned (for yesterday) to run a 10K race here in town. Subsequent to having a coach, I ran 1.5 hours instead, keeping my heart rate in my Zone 2, with a three minute push at the end. The goal is to build an aerobic base.
Coach Jeff's rationale for forgoing the 10K is that I was making a common mistake: racing too much, training too little. As much as I missed everything I love about racing yesterday — my friends, the excitement in the air, the challenge, the race pictures we would see afterwards (hey, maybe one of these days I will like one!), the results, and helping a good cause (in this case, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tallahassee) — the coach is right in this case. I would have completed the race, I would have LOVED it, I would have had some good stories to tell.
But I would not have known enough or learned anything else about my body, my technique, or my mental approach to make any changes that would make a lasting difference in my 5K speed.
I also know I am probably going to have to change my fitness schedule around so that my Tuesday intervals aren't followed the next day by boot camp* with stadium stairs (because there is not enough recovery time between the two). It has taken me so long to get to a point that is a hair below dread every Tuesday night that I have asked the coach to leave intervals on the schedule in lieu of doing something different with the time I have been devoting to reaching Row 85 of Doak.
As much as I will miss my boot camp buddies, I'll pay the price for now.
Anyone want to do stadium stairs with me some other night?


It is anticipated that Passport Potash will be releasing its first assay core results from the Holbrook basin project this coming week.
The drill program started in the Twinn Buttes Ranch so I would assume that the first results will come from that area.
The historical public information shows that the sections of the TBR closest to the park in the south corner have thicknesses of up to 40 feet of potash.
Its clear there is potash, the waiting is for those assays to show everyone the grade.
Good luck PPI with those first assays!

Home Autoimmune Disease Endometriosis - An Auto Immune Disease
Endometriosis - An Auto Immune Disease
Those women who are affected with endometriosis will have excess endometrial tissue growing outside of the uterus. The abnormal growth of endometrial tissue usually occurs in other areas of the reproductive system including the ovaries, fallopian tubes,and pelvic ligaments. Endometrial growths may also occur in the bladder, bowel, intestines, and rectum. Because the tissue is endometrial, it follows the hormonal "trigger" that the lining of the uterus (endometrium) follows; the endometrial growths will swell and bleed just as the lining of the uterus does, but with no means of exiting the body. The trapped blood causes an array of health problems that are chronic in nature, and many medical professionals have come to understand that there is a strong connection between autoimmunity and endometriosis.
Who Gets Endometriosis?
Symptoms of endometriosis can arise as soon as a girl gets her first period; the symptoms are not always noticeable early on but can worsen as she gets older. Any woman in her reproductive years can be afflicted with endometriosis, and the disease seems to affect women of all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds equally.
There is no definitive explanation for why and how endometrial tissue forms outside of the uterus. The most common explanation is retrograde flow, which suggest that menstrual tissue flows backward through the fallopian tubes and sticks to the ovaries. In theory, the backed up tissue leads to the formation of an endometrial lesion that grows over time. However, modern research reveals that 90% of women experience retrograde menstruation, yet only 1 in 10 are affected with endometriosis (according to the Endometriosis Foundation of America). With this knowledge, experts have dismissed the retrograde menstruation theory as the cause of endometriosis. Instead, medical professionals have researched a relationship between hormonal or autoimmune problems (or some combination of the two) and endometriosis.
In fact, autoimmune disease is far more prevalent in women than it is in men. An abstract from a study entitled, "Sex Differences in Autoimmune Disease from a Pathological Perspective" notes that 78% of those affected with an autoimmune disease are women; this is a startlingly high percentage. Although there is no direct link between an autoimmune disorder and endometriosis, it is not uncommon for a woman diagnosed with endometriosis to also be afflicted with an autoimmune disorder such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, or rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms are often blurred together. Each endometriosis symptom can be a sign of an autoimmune disease, which makes the disease even harder to distinguish.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
What makes endometriosis hard to diagnose are the array of chronic symptoms that can be felt in full or no capacity, with varying degrees of severity. Despite the magnitude of symptoms that can result from endometriosis, there are, generally, a few indicative signs that crop up as a result of the condition:
Painful cramps: these aren't the normal cramps that occur during a woman's menstrual cycle; they are, at times, excruciating.
Longer periods/heavy menstrual flow: any period that lasts longer than the normal 7 day cycle and/or consists of an unusually heavy flow could be a sign of endometriosis.
Pain during sex: the abnormal lesions, with no place to shed, often break down and form a buildup of scar tissue that inflames and irritates surrounding tissue and organs. This can cause women to experience pain during sex.
Urination and bowel problems: some women who are diagnosed with endometriosis express symptoms of painful urination and bowel movement which sometimes leads to a misdiagnosis.
Infertility: 30-40% of women who are afflicted with endometriosis have difficulty with fertility, according to the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
The connection between autoimmunity and endometriosis has not been fully explored, but a 2012 paper entitled: "Is there an association between autoimmunity and endometriosis?" finds that endometriosis fits the bill of an autoimmune disease. The presence of autoantibodies, chronic, localized inflammation, and the difficulty that comes with differentiating the disease from other autoimmune disease makes it very likely that endometriosis occurs as a result of an autoimmune dysfunction or disease.
Nutrition, Environmental Factors and Endometriosis
Although there is a genetic predisposition for endometriosis if a 1st degree family member (sister or mother) is affected, there has been research to suggest that certain nutritional and environmental factors play a significant role in the onset of endometriosis. Research conducted by the Endometriosis Associated reports a significant connection between endometriosis and one's exposure to the toxic chemical dioxin, which is a byproduct of the manufacturing process of bleached paper products. In the study conducted by the Endometriosis Association, 79% of rhesus monkeys that were exposed to dioxin developed endometriosis as a result.
Unfortunately, dioxin is more common than one might imagine. For example, if you're a coffee drinker, The EPA states that 40% to 70% of dioxins found in bleached coffee filters will be transferred into your coffee and thus, directly digested.
As with many other autoimmune diseases, nutrition plays a vital role in the overall function of the immune system. Immune-boosting supplementation and the elimination of dioxin-heavy foods like dairy and meat have been reported to successfully treat endometriosis. Rebuilding the immune system with powerful, holistic healthcare has proven to be a very effective alternative to mainstream medicine.

Q: AWS Elastic Load Balancer not responding from Internet connection I have created one EC2 instance (as part of the provision of a Tomcat Beanstalk instance). Now I need to configure HTTPS connection to the EC2 instance. As per the Beanstalk documentation, the easiest way is to configure a load balancer that interacts with browsers using HTTPS and that routes traffic to the EC2 instance using HTTP.
So I configured a load balancer under the EC2 management console. After the configuration, I tried to ping the public DNS name of the load balancer or the resolved IP address. The target is reachable but does not produce any response, as shown below:
ping 13.54.72.179
PING 13.54.72.179 (13.54.72.179) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
13.54.72.179 ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6139ms

I carefully checked all the configurations, as per the load balancer configuration and trouble-shooting documentation. All seem to have been configured properly.

*

*Target group: the target group has the healthy state in monitoring tab.

*VPC: the load balancer availability zone and the EC2 instance are in
the same VPC zone. Also in the route table, there is an internet
gateway associated to 0.0.0.0/0 destination.

*load balancer listeners: both HTTP and HTTPS listeners are
configured. Load balancer is also configured for internet-facing
connection.

*Security group for load balancer: for inbound traffic, both
HTTP/HTTPS and TCP protocol are configured, accepting all sources;
for outbound traffic: all protocols to all destinations are allowed.

*Security group for EC2: for the purpose of testing, we enable all
traffic for all sources in inbound traffic.
I researched a few forum threads about the "load balancer not responding" topic and checked the configurations they mentioned. However, none of them worked for me.
So I am at loss now. Can someone enlighten me where I might have missed in configuring the load balancer? Or what I need to do for trouble-shooting?

Q: Three.js: Trouble combining stencil clipping with EffectComposer NOTE: It appears I oversimplified my initial question. See below for the edit.
I'm trying to combine the technique shown in the clipping/stencil example of Three.js, which uses the stencil buffer to render 'caps' when clipping geometry, with an EffectComposer-based rendering pipeline, but I am running into some difficulties. A fiddle demonstrating the problem can be found at https://jsfiddle.net/2vc76ajd/1/.
The EffectComposer has two passes: a RenderPass and a ShaderPass using CopyShader (see code below).
composer = new EffectComposer(renderer);
composer.addPass(new RenderPass(scene, camera));
var shaderPass = new ShaderPass(CopyShader);
shaderPass.enabled = false;
composer.addPass(shaderPass);

The first renders the scene as usual, the latter merely copies the rendertarget onto a fullscreen quad. If I disable the ShaderPass everything works as intended: the geometry is clipped, and cutting planes are drawn in a different color:

When the ShaderPass is enabled by clicking the 'copy pass' checkbox in the upper right, however, the entire cutting plane gets rendered, rather than just the 'caps':

Presumably there is some interaction here between offscreen render targets and stencil buffers. However, I have so far been unable to find a way to have subsequent render passes look the same as the initial render. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
EDIT: While WestLangley's answer solved my initial problem, it unfortunately doesn't work when you're using an SSAOPass, which is what I was doing before trying to simplify the problem for the question. I have posted an updated fiddle at https://jsfiddle.net/bavL98hf/1/, which includes the proposed fix and now toggles between a RenderPass or an SSAOPass. With SSAO turned on, the result is this:

I have tried setting stencilBuffer to true on all the render targets used in SSAOPass in addition to the ones in EffectComposer, but sadly that doesn't work this time. Can anyone tell me what else I am overlooking?

Hornets' Gordon Hayward to be evaluated week-to-week on his shoulder fracture return – Woj
Andrei de Guzman

Gordon Hayward will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis on his left shoulder fracture return, his agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN's, Adrian Wojnarowski.
It was earlier revealed by Shams Charania of The Athletic that Hayward will be sidelined indefinitely due to the said fracture, wherein the Charlotte Hornets expect him to miss some time as he is undergoing further evaluation.
Hayward already missed eight-straights games this season due to a shoulder contusion. He then returned to the club and played three games in a row in mid-November before being sidelined again on Charlotte's Friday dub over Minnesota Timberwolves, in which he was sidelined with a shoulder injury.
The recent injury adds another mark to Hayward's long history of health issues. Upon joining the Boston Celtics in the 2017-18 season, the one-time All-star was then unfortunately mobbed by injury issues which ultimately hindered him to reach his full potential.
Hayward, 32, is currently averaging 16.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.3 boards in 11 games in his third year with the Hornets in this 2022-23 campaign.
The four-year, $120MM deal he signed back in 2020 via Celtics-Hornets sign-and-trade pact will continue to run until the end of next season.

Every year, at our Annual Parochial Church Council Meeting (APCM), CCW members come together to reflect on the life of our church over the past 12 months. In the context of worship and prayer, we testify of God's faithfulness over the past year. This year's APCM is scheduled to take place on Sunday 12th May. As well as financial updates and a leadership report, church members will elect up to 6 new people to join our Parochial Church Council (PCC). Each can serve for up to 3 years.
In particular we are seeking new members who can represent children and youth, messy church, students, young adults, the environment and prayer ministry – all areas of ministry currently underrepresented on the PCC. We also aim to be as diverse as possible in terms of gender and age, etc.
Why is the PCC so important?
The PCC is responsible (with the vicar) for promoting the whole mission of the church. In practice the PCC is responsible for discerning the vision and direction for CCW and making decisions which help bring that vision to fruition. Some of the responsibilities are devolved to the vicar and churchwardens who are duty bound to consult with the PCC on matters of general concern and importance to the parish. Members of the PCC have the right to be consulted, to know what is proposed, and to have the opportunity to express an opinion.
The PCC is the legal governing body of a Church of England parish. It is a charity and members are Trustees. As such there are various legal duties, under charity law, with regards to our buildings, paid staff and safeguarding procedures. However, we don't expect PCC members to be an expert in any of these areas!
If you are 16 years old or over and have been on the electoral roll for at least 6 months, YOU can stand for election to the PCC.
PCC members will be expected to undertake safeguarding training. You cannot be a PCC member if convicted of a specified safeguarding offence or included in a barred list.
You do need to be a committed member of the congregation here at CCW, but need to be keen to promote the gospel and the work of the church in the parish and beyond.
What sort of person joins the PCC?
The New Testament when thinking about leadership qualities looks first at the heart. Whilst no one is perfect, PCC members should be striving to display the fruit of the Spirit in their lives, be prayerful and growing in Christlikeness.
If you sense God's calling and feel prompted to stand, please speak with an existing PCC member, churchwarden or the clergy to gain more understanding of the role. Ask others whether they would be willing to propose or second you.
The PCC is required to meet not less than four times per year. In practice we currently meet once a month, on a Monday evening. The meetings normally start at 7.30pm and close by 10pm. Dates are normally set in advance and advised at the start of the calendar year.
What happens at the PCC meetings?
The PCC is chaired by the vicar or churchwarden. Prior to each meeting, papers, including minutes and agenda are circulated in advance of the meeting. It is helpful if you take time to read the papers prior to the PCC meeting. The contents are sometimes for information only but some items require a decision and you may be required to vote.
Nomination forms (available in the concourse) should be completed and returned by Sunday 14th April to the church office.
The elections will take place at our APCM meeting on Sunday 12th May.

Roseway, one of Bridgewell's day habilitation programs, was magically transformed into Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry last month to celebrate the completion of reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone during the program's Reading Club.
Pictured above: Team Gryffindor and the House Cup: Danny, Marta, Joselyne, Molli,Dan, Geoff, and Joseph.
Developmental Specialist Molli Marshall is the muggle responsible for the special event. Individuals entered the program into Ollivander's Wand shop, where Molli greeted everyone with hand-made wands. From there, they went through Platform 9 ¾, to the program locker room, where they took the Hogwart's Express to the castle's Great Hall, donned with levitating House Flags and (battery operated) candlesticks.
After being sorted into houses and treated to a feast at lunchtime, individuals competed for the House Cup in events like Quidditch, Bingo, Pin the Scar on Harry, and Pictionary. True to the novel, Gryffindor won the Cup, which is proudly displayed in the program's trophy room.
Everyone finished the day off enjoying chocolate covered pretzel wands and Nimbus 2000 broomstick dessert snack they made in weekly Cooking Group. Molli has been with Bridgewell for over a year and a half and is currently working on her MBA at Southern New Hampshire University. She one day hopes to start a non-profit for affordable housing to serve at-risk populations.

Aby Warburg (1866–1929) developed a series of notes or "fragments toward a pragmatic theory of expression" beginning in 1888, and he continued to add to them for decades. They constitute the hidden structure lying behind the edifice of Warburg's scholarship. This edition offers a presentation of the original German Bruchstücke and is prefaced by Müller's competent, if rather light, introduction (in German), and is accompanied by some 1,049 textual emendations. A full Italian translation of Warburg's frammenti follows. This marks an epochal event in the history of ideas, but it remains to be seen just how accurate and well integrated this edition is, insofar as it appears before the release of Volume IV of the "official" Studienausgabe.

It's fall everyone! I know it's cliche but I really love the flavors of fall: warming spices, pumpkin, apples, pears…just dreamy. Today I want to share with you my new favorite morning treat! I love my morning coffee and I look forward to having it to hold, smell and drink everyday. As the weather cools down, I move towards adding ginger to it to keep me warm all day (an old Indian tradition, usually done with Chai).
I think that this latte hits all the right notes but let me know if you enjoy it as much as I do! This recipe is part of the Virtual Pumpkin Party hosted by Sara at Cake Over Steak. Find all of the links for the recipes Here!
Blend all ingredients in a bullet blender or regular blender until well incorporated and frothy. Pour into a comfy mug and enjoy the fall flavor!

Summer Wars Celebrates 10 Years of OZ with Pop-Up Store in Shibuya
Temporary installation at Tokyo Otaku Mode TOKYO features new "OZ"-themed character goods
Paul Chapman
January 14, 2020 12:27pm EST (5 days ago)
Summer Wars, a 2009 theatrical anime film directed by Mamoru Hosoda (Mirai, The Boy and the Beast), is in the process of celebrating its 10th anniversary, and the newest celebration involves a limited time pop-up store in Shibuya that's packed with new character goods themed after OZ, the virtual reality online environment from the film.
The store features a variety of newly designed goods, ranging from cushions of John and Yoko (the guardians of OZ), to rugs depicting the OZ environment, candy, necklaces, earrings, art pouches, can badges, and (my personal favorite) wooden kokeshi dolls designed to look like the Avatars of Kenji, Natsuki, King Kazuma, and Love Machine (as "Impostor Kenji").
The Summer Wars pop-up store will be held from January 24 - February 11, 2020, at the Tokyo Otaku Mode TOKYO store, which is located on the 6th floor of the SHIBUYA PARCO shopping mall in Udagawacho, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

New investment secures growth for farm yoghurt business with 1,000 year old recipe for success
| on: Thu 5th Sep 2019 By Tony Farmer in: Corporate Finance
The only UK farm to make a nutritious yoghurt from a ninth century Icelandic recipe using British milk is set for national growth after securing major entrepreneurial investment in a deal we recently brokered.
Hesper Farm Dairies Ltd, Skipton, is tripling its workforce to boost production after two Yorkshire entrepreneurs became investors. Hesper Farm has been producing Skyr for four years after the family farm's third generation, Sam Moorhouse, visited Iceland in 2015 to learn the ancient Viking recipe after finding no one in Britain then made the thick, creamy natural yoghurt.
Sam Moorhouse was introduced to Garbutt + Elliott Partner, Tony Farmer, because of our specialist food and beverage sector expertise, including our annual food and drink business awards. Hesper Farm's Skyr yoghurt, made in its purpose-built diary, using milk from its award-winning pedigree Holstein Friesian herd, has been produced by only three people but is already supplied to 110 northern stores, including all Booths, and several Morrisons supermarkets as well as farm shops and Harrods, London.
Managing director of Hesper Farm Dairy Ltd, Sam Moorhouse, says: "Tony and his team have been integral in positioning us for the next stage in our development. We are grateful for their expertise and the new investors who have placed faith in us. The investment, and setting up an accounting system, enables us to pursue a national supermarket account. Our long-term aim is to make Hesper Farm the top British Skyr brand and to introduce other innovative dairy products. We are creating six new jobs and will make about 55,000kg of Skyr this year compared with around 9,000kg in our first 12 months."
Skyr yoghurt is made in a 24-hour labour-intensive process, with minimal mechanisation, by incubating skimmed milk with live active cultures and straining away the whey. Each pot uses four times as much milk as traditional plain yogurt, making it thick and creamy. The only sweetness is natural.
Tony Farmer says: "Sam has a great natural product and the new investors are supporting an innovative UK food product with huge sales potential. We are excited to be applying our food sector experience to assist the growth of the business."
Lead investor, founder and chairman of Elland-based BCA Group, Wim Batist, says: "While Sam had financial help from his parents to set up, he needed a lot more to reach where he wants to be. His business has potential to become a multi-million pound operation, especially with his strict quality control."

"Kinderen van de Ring" or Children of the Ring is a young adult science fiction novel. 14-year old Kendra Roberts lives in the 25th century, in what is called The Ring : an interconnected series of space habitats in Earth Orbit. When her father disappears during a solar sailing race in the depths of space, she goes on a quest to find him. She discovers that the Ring isn't the simplistic paradise she has grown up in, and that there is more to her father than meets the eye. Why is the mighty Star Corps interested only in covering up his disappearance ? Why are they after Kendra's new found ally, the data shifter CyberMax ? And how is this all linked to the Martian plague, the mysterious disease that is spreading ever faster, threatening the very existence of civilzation ? In a desparate race to the ends of the solar system, Kendra and an unlikely band of allies go in search of the truth. If they are lucky, they will get away with their lives. If not, the last hope of humankind may be lost.

Co-creation describes a process of bringing customer and creator together to produce items of mutual value, allowing the design aspect of production to sit between customer and creator. A major step-change enabling such a process is the ability to link consumer design inspiration with pattern creation software linked to manufacturing equipment. One aspect of supporting such a process includes fashioning tractable methods to collect and manipulate "design inspiration" that a customer can input into and that are amenable to the application of computer-based production. Here we describe research in progress exploring the use of "data-driven designs" that challenge the existing visual bias of textile design, using the Scottish context as an example; and offer up a process by which these explorations can be transformed towards a customer-creator model: transforming bioacoustics data recorded from the soundscape into woven, knitted, printed, or embroidered textiles.

Full of vitamin A and anti-oxidants.
Carrot Powder from Indigo Herbs is a premium quality 100% pure vegetable powder full of antioxidants, vitamin A, natural flavour and dense nutrition. Our Carrot powder can be taken daily and is a nutrient rich food supplement providing a rich source of vitamins.
Carrots are famous for their benefit to the eyes - they even look like an iris when you cut them – containing extremely high amounts of beta-carotene (pro-formed vitamin A) which is actually the Latin name for carrot! Unsurprisingly our Carrot Powder contains a rich supply of this fat soluble, antioxidant vitamin. In the body beta-carotene converts to retinol which produces the pigments in the retina of the eye, this enables your eyes to adjust to light changes, keeps the eyes moist and improves night vision - it can also significantly reduce the risks of cataracts and macular degeneration and helps to protect the surface of the eye (the cornea) which is essential for good vision. Vitamin A also enhances the body's immunity against infections by increasing the lymphatic responses against disease forming antigens and by assisting the skin and mucous membranes in repelling bacteria and viruses more effectively.
Our Carrot Powder also contains respectable amounts of vitamin C – another highly antioxidant immune booster – and is a good source of calcium and iron. These two minerals are effective in converting the food we consume into usable energy and calcium is well known for its function in bone health.
Add this delicious superfood to smoothies, soups, stews and any other foods that you would like to supercharge with high quality nutrition!
Carrot powder can be added to breakfast smoothies, mixed into food bases or used dissolved in fruit juice.
This Carrot powder can be used as much as is required.
After harvest the carrots are cleaned and screened before being slow dried in dehydrators to ensure all the vitamins and minerals stay intact. The dried carrots are then milled into a fine powder which is tested for foreign chemical profiles and other pollutants. Only the very best carrot powder is made ready for shipping. This process complies with GMP standards and is quality assured by Indigo Herbs.
Better quality item this time and no lumps. Nice colour too.
Great product. Easy to use. Service is excellent from this company.
This is great in my morning smoothie with other greens, just add 10grams and it gives you a head start to start your day.
