The Simple Caul, like the "biggins", is a hat comprised of a Band and a Gathered Crown. The following instructions assume that you have already made your Basic Brim Patterns. If you have not, you'll want to follow the link and do so.
This hat is appropriate for ladies with any class, especially those with any pretensions towards fashion. For the upper classes, the back of the caul can be embroidered or otherwise decorated before it is attached to tbe band, or made of very fine cloth.
Note: These directions do not teach a modern Milliery approach to hat-making. I've completely eliminated the use of standard hat sizes and head-size ovals, because I'm assuming that most of the people reading this are *not* trying to set up a hat-making shop. The method I've worked out below works, but doesn not produce standardized patterns sizes unless you are one of the lucky few who actually possesses a standard size head.
a ruler, and a pen, as well as a sewing machine, thread, and scissors.
In spite of this picture, we'll be using muslin for this caul. Trust me.
The caul sits back farther on the head than the biggins, and will be daintier in size.

i have loved your blog for a few years now, love the new look, just as an aside. i got quite a bit of fantastically great advise from you when i was just starting out on my costuming journey and you are always an inspiration to me. ok enough with the mush huh? :0) the real reason im commenting is because i am making one of these for my faire garb this year to hide the fact that i have cut my hair really short. i was wondering how you keep this on your head? im just going to wear it alone with the obligatory flower wreath headband that my mum and i always get. do you just use bobby pins? thanks!

Dual gloss: producing innovative surface designs by laser remelting
Dresden, Germany - The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT has developed a method of structuring the metallic surfaces of tool inserts by laser remelting. For the first time, this method makes it possible to structure materials without resorting to ablation and at the same time to polish them to a brilliant gloss finish. This gives tool manufacturers greater scope to adapt their production processes to incorporate novel structures and design elements while also saving them time and money. Another new technique can additionally be used to provide tools and products with a dual-gloss effect.
Injection molding tools made from metal are often used to give these components their structure, and one method that is commonly used to produce the desired structure on the tools themselves is photochemical etching, where specific regions of the tool insert are structured by etching away the unwanted regions. However, this is a costly and time-consuming process which requires the use and disposal of large quantities of environmentally hazardous acids.
A more environmentally-friendly alternative is the technique of laser structuring by ablation, which has been used successfully for more than ten years. This method can achieve ablation rates of 1-10 mm3/min in processes designed to create structures > 10 µm, but in many cases the workpiece subsequently requires further treatment to remove the melt residue which accumulates during ablation. In addition, the laser requires some ten passes to achieve a structure depth of 200 µm, which means that the laser-based structuring of large surfaces through ablation is generally not a cost-effective option for tool manufacturers.
Fraunhofer ILT(http://www.ilt.fraunhofer.de) has now developed a method of structuring tools using laser remelting. The laser beam travels over the workpiece and the resulting heat input melts the metal surface. At the same time, the laser power is modulated in order to continuously change the size of the melt pool at defined points. Thanks to surface tension, when the uppermost layer of the molten material solidifies, it exhibits uniformly low roughness, and the surface is left with a brilliant polished finish. Unlike laser structuring by ablation, the novelty of laser structuring by remelting is its ability to directly produce finished surfaces which do not require any post-processing. For a structure depth of approximately 200 µm, this method can achieve processing rates of up to 75 mm2/min, enabling a volume redistribution rate of 15 mm³/min in a single pass.
A further advantage of this new method is that it consumes less energy and fewer resources than conventional laser-based structuring by ablation. Less energy is required for melting than for sublimation, the process requires significantly fewer passes, and there is no loss of material. Depending on the material and batch size, these benefits can yield considerable time and cost savings for tool manufacturers. For flat surfaces and single-curved component geometries, the laser technique of structuring by remelting is already available for industrial use. Temmler and his team are now working on applying the technique to freeform surfaces.
In cases where an additional dual-gloss effect is required for end products such as decorative elements or an entire product surface, the first step is to apply a matt finish to the whole surface of the tool, which is generally achieved through blasting with glass beads or sand. Selected regions are then remelted using a laser beam. These regions solidify from the melt with a polished finish – in other words, the selective laser polishing creates a contrast between the matt, untreated areas and the brilliant, laser-polished areas. Depending on the intensity of the dual gloss, this can even produce a 3D effect in which the polished points appear to protrude from the surface. One example of how selective laser polishing can be used is to provide structured tools designed to apply a leather grain structure to plastic components with a dual-gloss effect which is then transferred to the end product during the molding process. For the first time, this selective polishing technique can now be applied on an industrial scale for both flat and freeform surfaces.

Natural center may get time at left wing to keep him on the ice.
GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The power-play practice was over Monday at MSG Training Center, and it was time to roll out the regular lines. And there was the Rangers' 19-year-old natural center with the tantalizing skills playing on left wing with Kevin Hayes as his center and Mats Zuccarello on right wing.
After using Filip Chytil for just 10:19 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Edmonton, coach David Quinn said he wanted to raise his ice time. A change from fourth-line center -- where the Czech Republic native spent the past two games after three as third-line center -- to second-line left wing would do the trick, at least for now. The Rangers (1-4) next face Colorado (3-1-1) Tuesday night at the Garden.
"As we all know, when you play center in this league, there's an awful lot of responsibility," Quinn said. "All the great players play center. I think (moving to wing) makes the transition to the NHL a little bit easier.
Chytil said he played some left wing with his national team and in the Czech Extraliga. The 21st overall pick in the 2017 draft said he's "glad" to be at the position.
Hayes sees a lot to like about Chytil.
Chytil claimed the Lars-Erik Sjoberg Award as the Rangers' top rookie in training camp before last season, but he didn't have a point in the first two regular-season games before being sent to Hartford. The 6-2 lefty posted 11 goals and 20 assists in 46 AHL games, then played in the Rangers' final seven games, contributing a goal and two assists. He has two assists over these first five games.
Notes & quotes: Pavel Buchnevich was dropped into a rotation on the fourth line in practice. Quinn said a decision whether to sit the wing will be made Tuesday. "Just like everybody, we're looking for consistent effort," Quinn said. … Quinn indicated defenseman Neal Pionk will play after being scratched the past two games.

The Necessary Hero and Descent Into the Underground–When There's "Nothing But Trouble," You Know You're in The Perinatal Below
Posted on August 3, 2012	by sillymickel
A Different Kind of Hero's Journey for Our Times Is Depicted in the Cult Classic, "Nothing But Trouble": Atman Projects Vs. Surrender Solutions, Part One
A Perinatal Flick
A film of postmodern times that is bold with revelation for us is the cult classic, "Nothing but Trouble," which was released in 1991. It is an especially potent example of the rising pre- and perinatal influence in the media we've been discussing as well as the different heroic response required in these strangest of days because of it. It is all this, plus a twist: As a comedy it represents an unlikely approach to such material and themes. More about that later.
It was produced and written by Peter and Dan Aykroyd and stars Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, and John Candy. Its reception by modern audiences mirrors exactly the perception in general, to date, that has been had of the perinatal material it depicts so well. For despite the movie's star power and the popularity of its co-creator, Dan Aykroyd, it was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews and received six Razzie nominations, garnering one. I fully expect that until we know better I can expect the same kind of reaction to this book of mine and the perinatal perspective it is revealing of the dark underside of everyday pleasantries and sugar-coated media realities. Yet there is hope for all that we will integrate this hard-to-face yet redemptive material in the fact that the movie does have a strong following among some in our population, just as at present there are some who are not in denial of the bittersweet perinatal vision being revealed.
The Lure Into the Underworld and Call to Adventure
The perinatal adventure of "Nothing but Trouble" begins innocuously with the main characters "leaving the beaten path" on a rather ordinary trip out of the city. Interestingly, the Brazilian couple who have forced themselves on the main characters of Chevy Chase and Demi Moore in making the trip act as impish other-worldly instruments in the change of route.
Joseph Campbell pointed out that the "call to adventure," which marks the beginning of the descent into the transformative nether regions, may be instigated by the merest chance or blunder. [Footnote 1]
Campbell also writes that the heralds of such a rite of spiritual passage are often loathly and underestimated characters. The Brazilian couple—as gaudy, overbearing, quirky, and from "down under"—perform just this function of luring into the underworld. Thus, they remind us that it is the quirky yet underestimated element in our familiar daily experience that opens us up to the process whose ramifications are huge by comparison.
The Merest Blunder, The Adventure Begins
Sure enough, this innocent-appearing outing is soon disturbed. The merest blunder of map reading results in an ominous tour of an eerie town and its somber and menacing-looking inhabitants. This is followed by a high-speed car chase as the police attempt to pull the innocents over for a bogus traffic violation.
In the tour of the town, it is as if the ego is shown getting a preview or having a precognition of what lies ahead and attempts to flee back into its safe familiar environs. But of course, this emerging piece of unconscious material will not be denied and is able to capture the fleeing ego that we see safely ensconced in its trappings of status and power—symbolized by the BMW with car phone. At this point the main characters, representing the ego, are led, under guard, into the bizarre town of Valkenvania—the encounter with unconscious perinatal begins.
Perinatal Elements
The Junkyard of the Psyche
Campbell says that in the unconscious deep, to which one is beckoned, "are hoarded all the rejected, unadmitted, unrecognized, unknown, or undeveloped factors, laws, and elements of existence." [Footnote 2]
Likewise, the set in "Nothing But Trouble" is replete with refuse. Bits of history—of rusted and broken refrigerators, automobiles, kitchen appliances, assorted junk, and pieces and parts of all the preceding…the wreckage of the past—are strewn about as well as heaped in clusters to construct the architecture and delineate the outlines of the drama. The correlation with subconscious remnants of forgotten memories and past emotional experiences is obvious.
Thus the drama evolves in the dumping ground and junkyard of the psyche—where all the rejected tidbits of experience have been relegated.
Stripped of Ego, Perinatal Begins
After being separated from the automobile—i.e., the ego stripped of defensive trappings of status and worldly position—the characters are rather quickly shuttled into encounters with a myriad of perinatal elements. A few of the obvious ones are as follows:
Mr. Bonestripper, which is a roller-coaster type ride whose entrance is a large vagina dentate mouth that swallows, chews up, and kills. Notice the roller-coaster ride aspect of Mr. Bonestripper, which reflects the emotional extremes and changingness of perinatal, specifically Basic Perinatal Matrix III (BPM III), events. [Footnote 3]
The chutes inside the house and of Mr. Bonestripper indicate birth canal symbolism.
Sexual elements, indicating BPM III influence, are manifest in the scantily clad heroine and the penis-nose of the judge.
The dark foundry symbolizes the foundation work of the psyche as well as the ominous and eerie aspects of perinatal experience.
The slave labor surroundings represent similar feelings in the enforced and helpless character of doings just prior to and at the time of birth.
Notice that the body—the car, the "Beamer"—gets trimmed down, the excess removed, symbolic of the cutting away of past attachments and concerns of a worldly nature, one's "status" reduced.
Chevy Chase as the main character is at one point forced into a marriage with a huge woman, who is tellingly androgynous in that she is played by John Candy. In her threatening and suffocating embraces we see symbolism of the crushing womb.
The entire site of these doings is surrounded by a watery trench. This obviously reflects the amniotic surround in the womb.
Police and guns point to the authoritative character of perinatal doings—i.e., do, or else!
Death/rebirth symbolism of the perinatal exists in the form of skeletons and huge piles of skulls and bones.
Scatological, that is to say, fecal symbolism is seen in the "bat-room," which contains an enormous pile of wet bat-shit…excuse the wording, but it really is shit and not feces.
The arbitrary nature of justice in the courtroom speaks to that perinatal feeling that one tiny thing, event, or action, has huge and horrifying ramifications.
Big Babies
The most obviously perinatal element, however, is the gargantuan and grotesquely flabby infant twins in diapers. Perinatal feelings are indicated in their extreme crying neediness. Their freshly newborn quality is evident in their fleshiness, which reminds one of the overweight appearance of some newborns, which is usually lost a little later on in infancy. The glossy, waxy sheen on their bodies is reminiscent of the skin of a newborn, which, fresh out of the womb, is wet and slippery, covered in amniotic fluid and cervical mucosa.
A Transpersonal Interface
An interesting aspect that indicates the transpersonal interface with the perinatal is an attic room—a higher mind of memory, kind of like an Akashic record—where all past IDs—identifications—and reports of them—newspaper clippings—are displayed.
Though, interestingly enough, in true perinatal fashion, a macabre lens is used to view these lives—only the reports of their tragic disappearances are seen. I believe that this is a wonderful depiction of how transpersonal information is distorted by perinatal material—the implications of which are far reaching for the pronouncements of so-called spiritual, or psychological, authorities who have not dealt with their perinatal undersides.

3. As a reminder, BPM III events (Basic Perinatal Matrix III events), using the typology set forth by Stanislav Grof in his many works, are the events surrounding the actual birth struggle of the infant during delivery. These parts on the perinatal in film make mention also of BPM II, which is related to the time of severe compression and constriction of the fetus in the latter stages of pregnancy and prior to the actual onset of delivery—which are characterized by feelings of "no-exit"; of BPM IV, which is concerned with the feelings of release, triumph, being saved, and whatever else occurs immediately after delivery; and of BPM I, which is related to the state of the fetus earlier in pregnancy—prior to compression—which is often conceived to have "oceanic" and "blissful" qualities, though not always.

After much research, University of Chicago sophomore Sasha Trubetskoy has completed a subway-style map of the road system of the Roman Empire. From about 300 BC, the Romans built or improved over 250,000 miles of roads (50,000 miles were stone paved) that extended into the farthest reaches of the Empire: from Spain to modern-day Iraq to Britain to northern Africa.
Using geo data from photos uploaded by users to Google's Panoramio, Sightsmap generates an interactive heatmap of the most frequently photographed spots around the world. It reminds me a little of the Heat Map I made back in 2006, which could be applied to any geolocational data (including photos).


Years later, Turner, as Mayor- talked about how he'd solved the problem. Even took credit for it. Sorry, the damage is already long done, and the suburbs grew- and then the x-urbs, until we have the sprawled out mess we have. We now have the same number of people, in a much greater area, with a lot higher overhead, and a lot less good paying jobs.
But, now we are going back to neighborhood schools.
The reason people believe the change is happening? Because we can't afford the gas bill to bus them. There is some truth to it too- but, the other reason is that students do better when connected and integrated into a neighborhood. Good neighborhoods, good communities, good compact units- do better than sprawled out ones.
And guess what? The same holds true for all those jobs we commute to. We just haven't realized it yet. Being able to walk to work is as important as being able to walk to school. Same goes for walking to the store, the restaurant, the bar, the barber, the park. But, we won't figure all that out until gas hits $4 or $5 or $9 a gallon.
On July 1, 2010, her first day as Superintendent, Lori Ward, made a presentation to the Southeast Priority Board about the change to neighborhood schools and the new attendance zones. I thought it was important enough to go out and tape it- and make it available to the community via YouTube. I could have been out campaigning, grabbing hands, kissing babies or asking rich people for money for my campaign- but, instead, I chose to deliver a little more democracy and open discussion to the community.
Here it is- about an hour.
I applaud Ms. Ward for going out and talking with the community about this major change. I also agree with her that making Dayton Public Schools a school system of choice- is critical. We have some amazing success stories going on in DPS- other than just Stivers School of the Arts. You need to know what's going on at Thurgood Marshall- Dayton's own STEM high school under Principal David Lawrence, and what's happening over at Ruskin- a true community school, in partnership with East End Community Services under Principal Devon Berry. These happen to be two of my friends- but, I can tell you that the system can educate kids- and is doing it, but the message has been getting lost.
Ms. Ward has a message worth hearing. I'm glad I can help.


– She didn't get the job because she wasn't experienced enough.
– You won't pass the examination if you don't work hard enough.
– You're not old enough.
– She didn't get the job because she didn't have enough experience.
– I haven't got enough money.
– I'll lend you some money if you haven't got enough.
– It costs too much (money).
– There are too many people and not enough chair.
– This shirt is too big for me.
– It's too far to walk.

Q: Are symbolic programming and metaprogramming the same thing? Are symbolic programming and metaprogramming the same thing?
I've always read about symbolic programming while using Mathematica, but I've never searched about it's meaning, I've searched about it today and I found that both concepts are similar, are there any differences?

A: Symbolic programming is about manipulating symbolic structures, usually representing formulas, and computing consequences.  Mathematica manipulates math formulas by using rewriting techniques to help people gain insight into their meaning.  Prolog uses backward chaining to find consequences.   Constraint systems solves sets of constraints for answers.
These systems tend to mix rewriting, theorem proving, constraint propagation, pattern matching and forward/backward inference to achieve the desired effect.
I think of metaprogramming as a special kind of symbolic programming, in which the symbolic structures represents facts about or pieces of (including entire) programs.   One of most general metaprogramming techniques is program transformation, providing the ability to manipulate program source in roughly the same way as mathematics enables one to manipulate math formulas.
As a practical matter, metaprogramming can use all the techniques of symbolic programming.  It also uses lots of specific algorithms which most people consider to be compiling (e.g., data flow analysis) but is really computing with facts encoded efficiently, so for me most compiling is symbolic computing.

A man was reportedly shot and injured in the parking lot "outside of the Circle Hookah and Bar and O'Donold's Irish Pub and Grille" Friday morning, December 8, 2017, per WKBN 27 reports.
Gunfire apparently erupted in the Downtown Circle parking lot following an argument. Vindy.com reports, "a disturbance broke out and a man, who said he didn't know the men fighting, was shot in the hand." Police are allegedly now searching for 3 persons of interest.
Did negligent security contribute to this senseless shooting? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Ohio, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.
Parking lot and restaurant patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this shooting may have been prevented.
Were any efforts made to safely and separately remove all those involved in the initial dispute from property, prior to an escalation to violence?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place at the time of the shooting?
Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the property owners in this circumstance failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.
Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Huntsville, Ala. — Three researchers from the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology successfully performed DNA sequencing on a new plant genome, Zostera – an eelgrass that is the first of its kind to be sequenced. The work was part of a six-year project with the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) that could help researchers understand how plants adapt to extreme environmental changes. The results of the project were published online in Nature on January 27.
The HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center is collaborating with the Land Institute to explore the uses of a certain wheatgrass which is becoming an increasingly popular alternative source for breadmaking and brewing beer.
"This intermediate wheatgrass its called, or perennial wheatgrass is very different than the annual grain of wheat that we plant," says HudsonAlpha faculty investigator and co-director of the Institute's Genome Sequencing Center Jeremy Schmutz.
Researchers from the US and Germany, including two HudsonAlpha faculty investigators, delve into the roots of gene body methylation in plants in a PNAS article published online July 26, GenomeWeb reports. While most of the plants it analyzed by comparative epigenomics had methylomes resembling Arabidopsis thaliana, the team unearthed a plant lacking gene body methylation: a plant in the Brassicaceae family called Eutrema salsugineum, commonly known as saltwater cress.
In 2015, Alabama Farmers Cooperative and Alabama Farmers Federation established Simply Southern, the state's first statewide network television show dedicated to agriculture and rural living. Simply Southern inspires and educates viewers about farming, food and gardening while entertaining with stories about innovative entrepreneurs, talented artisans, outstanding young people and Alabama's hidden treasures.
Two fungal genomes assembled and finished at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology are helping researchers understand the evolution of sensory perception. Fungi can sense environmental signals and react accordingly, changing their development, direction of growth and metabolism. Sensory perception lies at the heart of adaptation to changing conditions and helps fungi to improve growth and recycle organic waste and to know when and how to infect a plant or animal host. New results based on characterizing and then conducting a comparative analysis of two genome sequences published online May 26, 2016, in the journal Current Biology shed new light on the evolution of sensory perception in fungi.
Huntsville, Ala. — An acorn worm genome assembled in the Genome Sequencing Center at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology is helping researchers understand more about the 570 million year evolution of gills into the human pharynx and jaw. Those conclusions were published online Nov. 18 in Nature.
Huntsville, Ala. — Jeremy Schmutz, faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, has received a grant from the Department of Energy that will identify genes in a potential biofuel source. Schmutz, who co-directs the Genome Sequencing Center at HudsonAlpha, will analyze the natural genetic mechanisms of how switchgrass, a native prairie grass, adapts to its local environment. HudsonAlpha will receive $1.2 million over five years to complete the study.
Research will facilitate a new era of DNA-informed breeding and biology for cotton.
HudsonAlpha faculty investigator Jane Grimwood, Ph.D., will share a $2.4 million grant with four other researchers to continue genomics research on Upland cotton. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the research is intended to advance the groundbreaking discovery published in the April edition of Nature Biotechnology, which explained how researchers, including Chris Saski of Clemson University, decoded the genetic makeup of Upland cotton for the first time.
Huntsville, Ala. — The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology has purchased the latest sequencing system, manufactured by Pacific Biosciences, for use in the Institute's plant genomics research. The technology will enable the Institute's Genome Sequencing Center to solve current, real-world problems facing agriculture today.
Huntsville, Ala. — The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, in collaboration with the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and others, has been awarded an $8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E TERRA program to conduct research aimed at accelerating breeding and commercial release of economically viable bioenergy sorghum hybrids.


Does early motor development contribute to speech perception?
At the end of the target article, Keven & Akins (K&A) put forward a challenge to the developmental psychology community to consider the development of complex psychological processes – in particular, intermodal infant perception – across different levels of analysis. We take up that challenge and consider the possibility that early emerging stereotypies might help explain the foundations of the link between speech perception and speech production.

Though Snoop Dogg's sixth studio album will feature collaborations with Jay-Z, Redman and the Neptunes, a dis track aimed at Suge Knight, Kurupt and former ally Xzibit is likely to garner the most attention.
On "Pimp't Slapped," from Paid Tha Cost to Be Da Boss, Snoop tells his former Death Row Records boss, "You just need to start rhymin'/ 'Cause you're the biggest star on your label/ And them other n---as are just crumbs off my table."
The track, which surfaced on a DJ Kay Slay mix CD, also includes the lines: "A lot of n---as should have said it/ F--- 'em, but I'm gonna say it for 'em/ Stop it, pop it, rewind it and play it for 'em/ Suge Knight's a bitch and that's on my life/ Your rappers and artists tell 'em shut it up/ 'Cause I'll f--- every last one of them up/ Especially Kurupt/ See that's my lil' homeboy, so he knows what's up."
"Pimp't Slapped" appears to address the same frustrations Snoop aired to a Los Angeles radio station earlier this year about his West Coast counterparts picking on Jermaine Dupri rather than dissing Knight on record. While the song addresses X, ("I'm not Xzibit/ You can't pull my ho card"), it doesn't mention Dr. Dre or Eminem, the other players in the Dupri feud (see "Eminem, Xzibit Call Dupri 'Cockeyed Midget' On Answer Track").
Snoop, who was involved in a brief face-off with Knight at the BET Awards in June (see "Ja Rule, Missy, B2K Win, Suge And Snoop Exchange Words At BET Awards"), last dissed the rap mogul on "Death Row Is Bitches," released on his Web site and on mix CDs.
Elsewhere on Paid Tha Cost to Be Da Boss, due November 26, Snoop shares verses with Jay-Z, Redman and Nate Dogg and raps over beats from the Neptunes, DJ Premier, Just Blaze and West Coast newcomers Jelly Roll and Fredwreck.
Snoop recorded a track with rocker Lenny Kravitz (see "Snoop Dogg (A.K.A. Snoop Scorsese) Talks Next LP"), but the rapper's spokesperson said Tuesday he was not sure it would make the track list, which is still being finalized.
The Neptunes-produced "From Tha Chuuch to Tha Palace" is the album's first single and features Snoop boasting of his rhyme skills. "I still got the gin and juice in hand," he raps in the track. Diane Martel (Eve, N.E.R.D.) will direct a video for the song at the end of September in Los Angeles.
Other tracks on Paid Tha Cost to Be Da Boss include "You Got What I Want," "Suited N Booted," "Boss Playa," "Wasn't Yo Fault" and "Lollipop."

Q: What is a Celery worker node exactly? Is it the actual processor in which Celery is running or is it another process? In flower, I could see multiple processes in a worker pool? What are the differences between these two?

A: It turns out that Celery nodes are indirectly documented here:
https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/reference/celery.bin.multi.html#celery.bin.multi.MultiTool.MultiParser.Node
In short Celery uses a set of terms that are useful to understand when building a system of distributed work.

*

*Client - An application that wants to see work done

*Worker - An application that gets the work done

Terms around those that help to plan things include:

*

*Broker - The means by which Client asks Worker to do work.

*Application - An instance of the Celery class

At this point, take note that the Client, Broker and Worker can all be on different machines, and there can in fact be multiple Clients on different machines and multiple Workers on different machines, as long as they use the same Broker.
It should be no surprise then, that the application typically has the Broker configured with a URL. That is all the Applications, in all the Clients and Workers are all using the same Broker URL and hence are all using the same Broker.
The Clients send (produce) messages via the broker, requesting tasks to run, the Workers read (consume) those messages.
Now these terms all have a place:

*

*Execution Pool

*Cluster

*Node

Each Worker can process multiple task at once, by maintaining an execution pool. This pool might be threads, or (by default) it is subprocesses. So a Worker may have a number of Pool processes as children.
One of the frustrations (I have) with Celery is that you can communicate liberally with Workers but not with the running tasks in a Worker's Execution Pool (for which reason I am creating a new Task class for interactive tasks, but it's still evolving).
A Node is just a Worker in a Cluster. In short Node = Worker. A Cluster is a number of Workers running in parallel (using celery multi as per the document I introduced with). A Cluster is just a convenient way of starting and stopping and managing multiple workers on the same machine.
There may be many Clusters all consuming tasks from the same Broker though and they may be on the same machine (though one would wonder why) or on different machines.
And that is what a Celery Node is ... (in its fullest context).

A: When you run a celery worker, it creates one parent process to manage the running tasks. This process handles the book keeping features like sending/receiving queue messages, registering tasks, killing hung tasks, tracking status, etc.
That process then spawns N number of child worker processes that actually execute the individual tasks. The number is determined by the -c argument when starting the worker:
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#concurrency
The child processes can be implemented using a number of strategies and is configured when starting the worker with the -P argument. Possible values include: prefork, eventlet, gevent, threads/solo.

Santos reveal plans for thousands of CSG wells for North West NSW
Posted on November 28, 2014 by maxphillips	Leave a comment
The Greens NSW mining spokesperson Jeremy Buckingham today called on local MPs in the North West of the state to stand up to protect their electorates from the threat of coal seam gas after Santos revealed to investors their long-term plans to massively expand their coal seam gas operations in NSW.
Documents from Santos' investor seminar presented on 26 November show where Santos would like to expand coal seam gas operations in NSW. It shows both coal seam gas resources as well as Petroleum Exploration Licences in the electorates of Barwon, Northern Tablelands, Upper Hunter, Tamworth and Dubbo.
"This investor briefing makes it clear that Santos want many thousands of coal seam gas wells in NSW, including in good agricultural areas. The North-West of the state is at risk of becoming a heavily industrialised landscape – a giant gas field," said Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham.
"It's time for the local members, Troy Grant, Kevin Humphries, Kevin Anderson, and Adam Marshall to stand up for their communities by having coal seam gas ruled out in areas of their electorates.
"The Chief Scientist's report into coal seam gas recommended that 'the Government use its planning powers and capability to designate those areas of the State in which CSG activity is permitted to occur'. These local members should clarify exactly where in their electorates coal seam gas should occur before the state election.
"The Greens believe coal seam gas is unnecessary, unsafe and unwanted and governments should promote renewable energy projects in the region instead," he said.
Moree Plains farmer Penny Blatchford said: "Although the government boasts it has reduced gas areas to just 15% of the state, it covers the majority of our North West region, including some of the best agricultural land from the Liverpool Plains to the Queensland border.
"I agree with Tory Grant that the NSW Gas Plan will be 'hard to sell'. That's because the bread basket of NSW is being targeted to be a large coal seam gas field. Farmer's will not stand by and let our agricultural productivity and future be threatened by Santos or any other gas company," she said.

Mount Karkom is an increasingly popular site for visitors to Israel who have a particular archeological or biblical interest in the mountain. Our one day tours to Mount Karkom spend half a day exploring the mountain which is considered by some to be the biblical Mount Sinai. Owing to the long drive times the one-day tour departs very early in the morning from Mitzpe Ramon and returns late in the day. The two day tour option is a more comfortable tour choice that allows more time at Mount Karkom. It also enables us to to go off-road along desert trails to take in some of the natural highlights of the area. Mount Karkom is not always open to visitors so people requiring this particular tour should check well in advance with our office to confirm availability.

Day 1 - Departing early morning from Mitzpe Ramon in the Negev desert, we explore the highlights of the Ramon Crater before ascending the craters steep walls on the 'Ramon Ascent'. We drive along the edge of the crater and take in its wonderful views as we head to the Eilot Valley. In this scenic desert valley we find impressive Atlantic Pistacia trees that date back 2000 years. Our route continues on and takes us back down into the crater via Noah's ascent. By afternoon we reach the historic Spice Route where we tour a particularly scenic and fascinating stretch. At the Nekorot Valley we stop to enjoy our evening meal by the campfire and settle for the night either camping outdoors, or at the Desert Shade Khan -a traditional desert camp style accommodation (hotel accommodation is available upon request).
Day 2 – Following breakfast we join the Spice Route and experience the same breathtaking views and sights as the ancient merchants who journeyed here in times long past. We visit the ruins of the Nekorot fortress and Moah. We explore the Ashosh valley whose valley walls are an unusual mix of flint and limestone. Continuing onto the Barak valley where we enjoy a short hike through the Barak canyon before heading back to the jeeps for our return journey back to Mitzpe Ramon where we end the tour.

hotel or desert camp accommodation on HB basis available at a supplemen.
Day One: We explore many of the highlights of The Ramon crater entering through the Nekorot Valley on its western side. This Valley cuts through the Crater and takes in some of the best scenery in the area. The valley is where rainfall flows out of the crater during floods and it has a wealth of features associated with that including gorges, canyons and rock pools. The tour includes 4x4 adventure and some walking, we visit Mount Ardon, Mount Karbolet Haririm and the lowest point of the crater which is also the craters only natural water source, Ein Saharonim. We enjoy a short walk along the southern cliff edge of the crater's wall and enjoy the breathtaking views that span the whole of the crater from these cliffs. We exit the Ramon Crater on its eastern side following the 'Spice route', an ancient Nabatean trading route where merchants bearing wares from Asia to Europe tread on their perilous journey to the Mediterranean. This day of 4x4 and hiking includes the Ramon Crater's most dramatic scenery, its natural highlights and major historical sites.
Accommodation choices include outdoor camping, desert Khan, guesthouses or hotels - according to preference.
Day Two: We spend the day exploring the area's largest desert Valley, the Zin Valley. Here we experience the desert at its finest. The Zin Valley is one of the most popular choices for visitors wishing to get the best of their Negev desert experience. Its serene atmosphere and delightful views attract visitors year round. Highlights of the valley include the Ein Zik and Ein Akev desert springs. We reach the Zin Valley via Sde Boker where we stop briefly to visit the Ben Gurion memorial on the edge of the valley walls. This day can include a visit to the Avdat ruins for those with a particular interested in historic sites. This tour is an excellent year-round option especially for families.
Meals: Lunch is a hearty picnic lunch in the great outdoors. Breakfast and evening meal depend on accommodation selected.
This one day tour covers the best desert scenery in the Eilat area, it is a full desert experience with 4x4 off road adventure and a camel ride in the mountains by the bay of Eilat. After pick up from the hotel in open-topped jeeps we head to Wadi Shlomo for an traditional desert experience. Here we enjoy a two hour camel ride along a mountain trail before getting back into our jeeps and heading further into the mountains along an ancient pilgrim route. We drive up to the summit of one of Eilat's highest mountains, Mount Yoash, where the fabulous views span the bay of Eilat and the Red Sea coastlines of Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia - all at a single glance, we also see from here the Southern Negev, the Mountains of Jordan and views across the Sinai desert in Egypt. We continue our tour down a 4x4 trail that takes us to the Netafim spring, this natural source of water attracts local wildlife and we can often see Ibex herds coming here to drink. Heading deeper into the desert we visit one of the most scenic sights in the whole of the Negev, the Eteq Canyon. The views as we drive off-road to the Eteq are superb and the Eteq itself is a delightful desert canyon set against a backdrop of awe-inspiring desert scenery. The Eteq has several rock pools along its length and here too we often find wildlife as natural water sources in the Negev are relatively scarce. Back onto the trail and we drive down into the Arava Valley along a picturesque route and then the Arava road for a short drive arriving back in Eilat by evening. An outdoor picnic lunch is included in the tour price.
Price of the jeep and camel tour: 2 people $560 total, 4 people $660, 5 people $730 6 people or more $139 each.
Day 2- After taking in the fabulous views from the cliffs of Shaharut we make our way to the Eteq canyon, the most picturesque canyon in the area. Here we begin our descent from the Negev Plateau with the breathtaking views of the Arava Valley ahead of us. At the Eteq canyon we stop for a walk into the canyon where we see rock pools (depending on season), this too is a popular area for local wildlife and the off-road route through this area is particularly dramatic and it leads us down into the expanses of the Arava where we explore the Statues valley before making our way back to Eilat where we complete our tour.
Day 1: Driving first to the Dead Sea we begin our off road desert experience on the striking cliffs overlooking the Dead Sea. We shift to 4x4 and drive to the canyon of Wadi Meshash. We leave our jeep and hike down the Meshash gorge, descending through the water holes with the help of some fixtures and fittings that aid our way. Continuing on to Wadi Muraba'at and into the Muraba'at caves. It was here that the first Bar-Kochva letters from the Roman period were found. A steep path brings us back to the 4x4 track and we begin our drive along the wild plateau landscapes of the Judean Desert, stopping occasionally at sites overlooking the Dead Sea and the oasis of Ein Gedi. After crossing the challenging canyons of Nachal Mishmar and Nachal Arugot, we set up our camp under the glittering desert skies.
Day 2: Early in the morning we drive to Brekhat Zefira, a natural waterhole in the Judean Desert and from here a short 4x4 drive takes us to the Masada road. On the Roman Ramp we enter the famous ruins (King Herod's Desert Fortress) and take our time in exploring the site, hearing about its fascinating and tragic history and taking in the famous views. Back to the 4x4 for an off-road drive to the Ma'ale Yair road and back down to the Dead Sea. Following a brief 'float' in the salty waters we return to our jeep for a ride through the surreal landscape and a final leisurely hike into the Flour Cave completes our tour.

KPDNHEP urges local mask producers to increase production
Friday, February 14th, 2020 at News
by BERNAMA / pic by BERNAMA
The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) has urged local mask producers to increase production of the three-layered facial masks in order to meet public demand now.
Its minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the ministry had met with five main producers of face masks in the country to discuss the matter following complaints of insufficient supply to meet demand.
"After listening to their views, the ministry has asked local producers (to produce more masks) and know how much they can produce," he said.
He added that some of the producers can produce 200 masks a day while others can come up with 100,000 a week.
Speaking to reporters after launching the opening of the first branch of the 99 Speed Mart store in the state in Serdang near here today, Saifuddin Nasution said some of the producers also have a ready stock of up to 200,000 pieces of masks.
He said the ministry will also be monitoring the production of facial masks by the producers each week, subject to their capabilities.
He said the Ministry of Human Resources has also agreed to immediately approve applications to allow 24-hour operations shifts in factories to increase the production of face masks.
"They also have their problems, for instance to increase production, they have to add shifts. They asked me to talk to the Human Resources Ministry to expedite approval for factories to add shifts in order for them to operate 24 hours," he said.
In connection to this, Saifuddin Nasution urged the public not to panic in purchasing the masks as the government was working to ensure sufficient supply.
He also said the ministry will discuss price with the producers so that it can distribute masks to the public either free of charge or otherwise.
"I have held discussions with the Finance Ministry for an allocation for this purpose," he said.
Saifuddin Nasution also advised traders not to take advantage of the situation by increasing the price of masks which is listed as a controlled item under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011.

The Triton took advantage of Demo Day at Nautical Ventures to get out on the water and help clean up our lifeblood as part of the 42nd annual Waterway Cleanup. More than 1,400 people volunteered to dig about 35 tons of trash from waterways and coastlines around the area.
The canal behind Nautical Ventures' new superstore in Dania Beach is a beautiful oasis amid a pulsing shopping and traffic area, with surprisingly little trash. And on Demo Day, there was a tour courtesy of Luke Svanberg, head of retail for the water toy company.

Executive Functioning
EF Skills
Our decades of classroom teaching, 1:1 tutoring, parenting, and research experience has provided us with powerful insights into what makes kids tick. We love sharing our expertise with Chicagoland organizations, parents, teachers, and schools! Read more below and give us a call or click on the Get Started button on the right to set something up for your group!
Developing Executive Functioning Skills
For parents and teachers of 6th through 12th graders
Unfortunately, not all children intuitively pick up the skills they need to be good managers of their learning. It often requires explicit instruction from setting up an organizational system and building routines to practicing effective and independent study habits. In this talk, we teach practical strategies to develop executive functioning skills related to organization, time management, and study skills - all of which are integral to academic success.
Nurturing Persistence in Learners
For parents and teachers of students from preschool through 12th grade
It's no secret that we're huge fans of Stanford Professor Carol Dweck! Utilizing her book Mindset, we define the two types of mindsets and discuss the benefits of cultivating a growth mindset. We also share practical strategies for encouraging your child to pursue challenges and view mistakes as opportunities for development. Don't be surprised if you find yourself applying some of these strategies to your own life!
It's not uncommon for tweens and teens to lose their spark when it comes to school. It's easy to chalk it up to disinterest or laziness, but that's usually not the case, and they thrive when we take a more nuanced approach. During this talk, we unpack the complex psychology behind motivation and share tips to help children rediscover their passion for learning.
Test Anxiety
For parents and teachers of 3rd through 12th graders
The impact of test-taking anxiety can be far-reaching, and students often feel that they have no control over it. In this talk, we look at the reasons children experience anxiety when it comes to tests (of both the school and standardized variety) and provide practical strategies to help them let go and take charge! Spoiler alert: keeping your own anxiety in check will reduce theirs.
Building Routines for Academic Success
For parents and teachers of students from preschool through 4th grade
Any parent will tell you that finding the middle ground between "hands-off" and "hand-holding" is difficult. It's no different when it comes to helping your child build routines for academic independence and success. We can assist by sharing tools and strategies to establish good habits, maintain a healthy relationship with homework, and get the most out of checklists.
Test Prep Presentations
The High School Entrance Test Process
For parents and teachers of students in grades six through eight
We're well aware of how confusing and stressful the high school admissions process can be! After guiding hundreds of families through the maze, we've discovered a thing or two to make your journey less complicated. Learn about the different tests, which one(s) your child should take, when to get started with prep, and how to manage anxiety when the stakes are high.
The College School Entrance Test Process
For parents and teachers of students in grades nine through eleven
The road to college will include some twists and turns, and we can help you navigate! Understanding all of the moving parts and planning ahead will reduce stress and result in a better overall experience. In addition to talking through the ACT, SAT, PSAT, and SAT Subject Tests, we cover scheduling test dates, the meaning of scores, and how test prep increases both scores and grades.

When I was a student, I wish I had known… that education is an investment. Aristotle said it best: "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
My favorite subject in school… is English!!! How can anyone not love a subject that deals with exclamation points and rhetorical questions?

Lexx finished the oatmeal and leaned back to savor the milk, while Chel poured more in a bowl for Zeta. "That's all there is." Chel tossed the empty carton into the trash. That milk went quick. She'd just bought it the previous morning. She noted Lexx looking at her as though he were about to ask for another glass.
"Oh, yeah. They should be dry by now. I'll go get them!" Chel set the bag down by the table and made her way back to the laundry room.
"That's quite alright,… enough singe marks on my overcoat." Lexx quickly turned him down. It'd cost quite a few crids to buy a replacement,.. and it was his favorite overcoat.

Stories / Erin
"You can get from darkness to the other side"
Read more #RadNotBads View more stories like these in our e-newsletters
Erin is 36 years old and works at the Mental Health Foundation.
Erin first experienced New Zealand's mental health system when she was 15. Her parents had just separated and she had noticeably lost a lot of weight. Her school counsellor asked her mum to take her to a GP, who prescribed her Prozac for depression and disordered eating and referred her to a psychologist.
"Because I've always leaned towards the depressive sort of side, they always treated it as depression," she says.
At 18, Erin started to experience suicidal ideation. By the time she was 22, her thoughts of suicide were constant. She was still seeing a psychologist and taking Prozac, but nothing much was changing.
She moved to Sydney after a romantic relationship ended one year later.
"After a short time in Sydney, the mania started and within a couple of months I was sort of out there, drinking heavily, staying up for like 10 days at a time, some really risky behaviour."
"When I was manic I was so productive! I was getting my work done, and I was going out and having this fantastic social life, meeting new people and doing heaps of things. I'd go home and I would clean, and I would reorganise my wardrobe like four times in one night. I was really having fun!
"The mania would always end with a really horrible depression and a couple of times I had to come back to New Zealand. It was just considered burnout because I was working in media and I was working big hours. I'd take six weeks off and then I'd go back, and a similar thing would happen again."
Erin vividly recalls going to a psychologist in her mid-twenties, who floated the idea that she might have bipolar disorder. Erin "freaked out."
"To me, the idea of bipolar was like crazy, crazy, like super crazy. I didn't know much about it, so I just thought, 'oh my god, I'm really, really crazy,' and got really mad and was just like 'that's not true.'
"Depression is easy-enough to swallow; lots of people get depressed. But people who live with bipolar, or schizophrenia, or that kind of diagnosis are seen as 'scary'. That stigma prevented me from wanting to accept that diagnosis."
Erin continued to take Prozac, which unfortunately increased her mania.
A year or two after returning to Australia, Erin experienced a sexual assault and began to feel "incredibly suicidal." She returned to New Zealand and sought help through community mental health services.
The psychiatrist she saw didn't spend much time with her, taking only half an hour with her to both confirm she had bipolar disorder and put her on medication which turned her into a "complete zombie."
"My mum was just so worried because I'd gone from really depressed and suicidal to this zombie. I was losing days of my life."
A private psychiatrist finally took the time to listen to her full history with mental distress, which helped Erin to accept her bipolar diagnosis. She spent the next few months trialling new medications, trying to find something that would help her to feel better. After nine months, she thought she was well enough to return to Sydney, but looking back, she thinks it was "probably too soon".
For the next two and a half years in Australia, Erin's mental health went up and down. She spent some time under the Australian Mental Health Act and, a few years later, spent some time in a private hospital. Later, her parents became unwell and she came back home to support them in New Zealand.
A year and a half after she returned home, she called the crisis team after becoming "quite depressed."
"I can understand the metaphor of the black dog because I literally couldn't see any light. It was weird, it was like my whole world was just black. I couldn't even see the next day.
"Someone would ask, 'oh, so what are you going to do tomorrow?' and I couldn't even imagine the concept of tomorrow. It really was that dark."
The next few years were difficult. Erin contracted lithium toxicity from a change in medication, and her physical and mental health declined. She spent time in respite care but found it "really unsafe."
Eventually, things started to get better. Erin vividly remembers the moment when she "started seeing a bit of a change."
"I was walking down Mt Eden and I was just like, 'I haven't thought about killing myself for a really long time. Oh my gosh! How did I live?!"
Erin almost can't believe she experienced acute distress for so long.
"It's pretty amazing to me, the whole thing that I can even feel so well now! I'd been in such a dark space for such a long time – from 15 to 28. It's pretty amazing."
Erin now knows what she needs to do to stay well. She regularly meets with her psychiatrists and attends peer support groups, takes her medication, and practises yoga.
The 17th of November is a date that means a lot to Erin, because it's the day she feels she started on her true journey toward recovery after finally accepting her diagnosis. She commemorates the date every year.
"It took over 10 years – from age 15 to 28 – for me to get to this point."
"It all became a little bit clearer and I realised that we can do something with this, we can make it better and support me in living a fuller life."
