After providing an activity patch or hat pins as an incentive to boys to participate in the various scheduled activities at their Pow Wow and Winter Camp events for numerous years, the North Texas Royal Rangers, based on the positive feedback received from the 2012 Winter Camp challenge coin, decided to switch to doing a custom challenge coin for each camp. They entered into a licensing agreement with The Salvation Poem Foundation to use The Salvation Poem on the reverse side of challenge coins. Boys are able to use the challenge coins they receive to help lead their friends to Christ, which we have heard numerous stories of this occurring.
On the obverse (front) side, I used artwork created for the event based on the theme "Boldly Go", a Star Trek-inspired theme that ties into the Christian mission to go into all the world preaching the Gospel. On the reverse (back) side, is The Salvation Poem as well as a cross, praying hands, and the Royal Rangers emblem.


'Single Vineyard' Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the volcanic Greywacke stone soils of the 'Utawai Creek' vineyard. This vineyard consistently produces intensely flavoured grapes with good natural acidity. Made without compromise on quality.
Vibrant and dry, with a racy acid backbone, delicate and intense with distinctive minerality, flintiness, and a very long finish. We like this wine with fresh seafood and it's great with Japanese dishes.

Charlotte Huffman, investigative reporter with NBC-TV affiliate WNCN in Raleigh-Durham and a 2007 graduate of the Division of Journalism at SMU Meadows, was a key member of the news team that won the regional Edward R. Murrow Award, one of journalism's most prestigious honors. The award was given in April in recognition of Huffman's investigative work on groundwater contamination in North Carolina and the failure of multiple government agencies to notify citizens.
In the "Poison in the Water" series, Huffman revealed approximately 2,000 sites in North Carolina where known cancer-causing chemicals are contaminating the ground and likely spreading into water used by unsuspecting families.
"When I first began digging into this story I had no idea the impact it would have," she says.
As a result of the series, state lawmakers introduced a bill to require government agencies to notify residents living in harm's way, and N.C. Governor Pat McCrory is using the investigation to launch a statewide campaign to encourage residents to test their water.
National groundwater advocate Erin Brockovich caught wind of the investigation and visited families in Wake Forest, N.C.; "Poison in the Water" was picked up by the Huffington Post and NBC News, where it had 1.5 million page views and prompted calls from people across the nation asking Huffman for help with similar issues.
Huffman says the hands-on education she received during her time as a journalism student at Meadows laid the foundation for the work she does today.
Her professor's advice rang true during countless hours while Huffman dug through 800 pages of internal government emails pertaining to the investigation. "When the rest of the media had disappeared, I believed there was more to the story," says Huffman. "I never stopped asking one simple question, 'Why?'"
Since 1971, The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) has honored outstanding achievements in electronic journalism with the Edward R. Murrow Award, named after American broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, who first came to prominence with a series of radio news broadcasts during World War II. Murrow was highly regarded and followed by millions of listeners in the United States. Fellow journalists considered him one of journalism's greatest figures, noting his honesty and integrity in delivering the news.
Each year, RTDNA identifies honorees in 14 regions. In 2012, 645 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards were given and of those, 99 went on to win National Edward R. Murrow Awards.

Sailboat Cruising
Sailing for a Cause: David Summerville's Irish Sea Journey
In the next few months, Summerville and fellow sailor Steve Cockerill will sail the 115 nautical miles between Dublin, Ireland, and Southport, England, to raise money for mental health awareness and sailing support services. Sailing on Lasers, their journey will take between 12 and 15 hours to complete, depending on conditions.
Hilary Sharp
At the age of 16, David Summerville sailed his first Laser. Thirty-seven years later, he remains devoted to the single-handed dinghy and plans to use his well-honed skills to traverse the Irish Sea.
When asked why he would sail such a physically taxing dinghy across open water, Summerville replies, "It's a very popular boat, and it's a boat that the average layperson can relate to."
Summerville, 53, also believes he is physically prepared to complete the journey. He has been biking and lifting weights every day to build upper body strength and sailing three to four times a week to keep his muscles familiar with his boat.
"Physically, I think I'm up to it, but it's going to be really tough to focus," he says. "You have to be focused on every wave, because it's very easy to break the rig on the waves."
The Lasers Summerville and Cockerill will be sailing across the Irish Sea
The Lasers Summerville and Cockerill will be using are older boats donated by a local sailing club. Summerville has completely refurbished them to withstand the choppiness of the Irish Sea, reinforcing the mast and bolting the high-load fittings.
"They're still Lasers. If we went to a championship and they were measured, they would be classified as a Laser," he says.
In terms of safety, a 36-foot catamaran will follow the pair, filming their journey and offering support. The two will also be equipped with life jackets, safety lines and Yellow Brick trackers.
The journey sounds like an intrepid one, but for Summerville, it's been a long time coming. Originally from Wakefield, England, Summerville began sailing when he was 10 years old, after his father and a couple of his friends decided to buy a boat together and share it among their families.
"I was the only one who really took an interest," Summerville recalls. "That's where it started."
Though he learned to sail on Marine Lake, near Southport, Merseyside, his favorite place to sail was Abersoch, on the West Coast of Wales and part of the Irish Sea. Here, he found the seed of an idea that he just could not shake years later.
"I used to think about the possibility of sailing across the Irish Sea. Because once I was introduced to waves, particularly the type of waves we get in the Irish Sea, I realized that was the type of sailing I enjoy," Summerville recalls.
After graduating from University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology with a degree in mechanical engineering, Summerville worked in the oil and gas industry. His job required him to work and live around the world, in places like Angola, Nigeria, Denmark, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Though he never pursued sailing as a career, Summerville continued to find opportunities to sail, becoming involved in various sailing campaigns and doing boat repairs in the Middle East.
David Summerville
Then, five years ago, his childhood sailing dream was revived. He sold a boat to an Irishman and learned the two shared a dream to cross the Irish Sea. They became fast friends when they discovered they had something else in common: a past affected by mental health diseases. Cockerill had lost two companions to mental illness, and Summerville had nearly lost his own life to bipolar disorder. Together, they founded the Rooster Sailing Irish Sea Challenge with a combined mission of crossing the sea and supporting mental health. They settled on two beneficiaries: Mind, and the John Merricks Sailing Trust. So far, they have raised around £2000 and have a final goal of £50,000.
Both of the beneficiaries struck a chord with Summerville. Mind is dedicated to improving how people perceive and treat mental illness by providing help lines, offering legal advice, educating the public on mental conditions and lobbying on behalf of people with mental illness. After overcoming his own battle with bipolar disorder, Summerville believes in the importance of educating others who may be suffering.
The John Merricks Sailing Trust was founded in memory of John Merricks, whom Summerville calls "one of the best sailors this country has ever produced." The organization helps young individuals achieve their sailing goals by providing financial assistance.
"Tragically [Merricks] lost his life, and it happened to be at a time when I hit total rock bottom," says Summerville. "When I read what had happened to him, I realized there was a guy—arguably the best sailor we'd ever had—and he was gone. I had lost everything—my property, my family, my career—but I still had my life. So I decided to start living and getting on with making things right once again."
The support vessel that will be making the journey with the Lasers
Now that Summerville and Cockerill have all of the pieces in place—the boats, the safety precautions, the support crew, the route and the charities—it's time to wait. The two are looking for the perfect weather and tidal conditions between now and September 10 of this year.
"We'll know about three or four days beforehand when the meteorological conditions are looking spot on," says Summerville. "And then we'll put the plan into action." The plan requires shipping the catamaran to Dublin, and taking a ferry with the Lasers and the rest of the support team.
If the Irish Sea Challenge proves to be successful, Summerville has plans to expand with two additional challenges. "The first will be based on the River Nile in Egypt and will hopefully be utilized to assist the tourism industry within the country, which has been impacted significantly by the revolution of 2011. The second will be based between Europe and America."

Q: Blazor server page with parameters throwing "404 not found " on manual refreshes I have a Blazor Server app with a page that takes in parameters in the uri. When I click on an anchor tag that has the route setup to hit that page with params (like below) the link works fine, and the page loads.

However, if one tries to access the page from that url directly, or manually refreshes in the browser, then the page doesn't reinitialize or hit any breakpoints on the parameters. Instead, it throws a 404 not found.
So two things here:

*

*Firstly, I'm confused about why it works fine from within the anchor tag, but dies any other way. Especially when pages without params in the @page directive work fine with refreshes/direct-urls.

*Second, is this an intended behavior for Blazor Server or am I missing something here that's breaking the page refreshes/hitting-url-directly? Doesn't seem like a feature, but maybe I'm misunderstanding Blazor's routing.

Razor and Razor.cs for page in question:
@page "/MyPage/{Param1}/{Param2}"

MyPage

<Metrics Param1="@Param1" />

<InProgress Param1="@Param1" Param2="@Param2" />

<InQueue Param1="@Param1" />

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using MyApp.Data.Models.ApiResponse;

namespace MyApp.Pages
{
    public partial class MyPage
    {
        [Parameter]
        public string Param1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter]
        public string Param2{ get; set; }

        public TaskList Tasks { get; set; }

        protected override Task OnInitializedAsync()
        {
            // work in progress, intend to do more here later on
            var test = "";
            return base.OnInitializedAsync();
        }
    }
}

Edit(s) -- per comment suggestions
UseEndpoints section of Configure method in Startup.cs:
 app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
            {
                endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
                endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
            });

After further digging I noticed that the @param2 will occaionally have a . char in it. Blazor does have a need for configuring routes that have params with dots in them. The below fall back doesn't work:
endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/MyPage/{Param1}/{Param2}", "/MyPage");

It throws an:
InvalidOperationException: Cannot find the fallback endpoint specified by route values: { page: /MyPage, area: }.
I'm guessing that the area: being empty is a problem but I'm not finding how or where to properly set that. The example from the link shows just the Page's name in the fallback. Could someone please point out what's wrong with this fall back and how one can properly correct it?

A: My problem was with a dot character being in the parameter's value. When the routing issue is from a "dot" being in the parameter, then doing exactly what the docs recommends does the trick (go figure). You will want to specify a fall back for that particular route like so:
endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/MyPage/{Param1}/{Param2}", "/_Host");

For WASM projects: you want to specify the html file vs _Host which should be Blazor Server specific.
endpoints.MapFallbackToFile("/MyPage/{Param1}/{Param2}", "index.html");

After this setup is applied, refreshing a page or reaching the URL directly should result in your application working as intended, no more 404 error different from the standard <NotFound> tag setup in the App.razor.
Key points:

*

*Check if your url parameters have any known parsing exceptions like dots (Blazor assumes those are files being requested)

*Use the default page of your application for the fall back, not the page you want to hit. In a Server app that's _Host for wasm it's index.html

If you have a product that you need to ship to your customers and are worried that it could be damaged while it is in transit, you might have decided to purchase custom packaging foam. These foam inserts are sure to be able to nestle your product and keep it safe for your customers. However, there are four main types of foam that you have to choose between. Here are some questions that you can ask yourself in order to make sure that you are choosing the best type of foam possible.
1. Is the item that you are shipping heavy?
The first thing that you want to look at is the weight of your item. This is going to determine if you use an open or closed-cell foam type. You can tell if you need a closed-cell foam type by getting a sample of open and closed foams and placing your item on top of them. If your item crushes the open-cell foam type to the point where it is flat, then you can tell that you will need either polyethylene foam or polypropylene foam.
If your item does not crush the open-cell foam type, then you can go with polyurethane foam.
2. Is the item that you are shipping a super weird shape?
If the item that you are shipping is a shape that is not going to nestle well against flat pieces of foam, then you are going to need something that is more moldable and flexible. The type of foam that you should therefore use is polypropylene. Polypropylene is very flexible and will keep your item safe. However, if you have a normally shaped item that can be accommodated by flat pieces of foam, then you should consider going with a different foam choice, since polypropylene tends to be more expensive.
3. Are you going to be changing the shape of your foam yourself?
If you are going to be changing the shape of the foam often and are going to be doing the job yourself, then you will want to go with expanded polystyrene foam, which is very cheap and can be easily cut using computer software. This is great because it will allow you to frequently change the shape of the foam that you are working with without actually forcing you to contact an outside company.
For more information, talk to a company that specializes in custom packaging foam, like Foam Plastic Specialties.

In 1965, the elder Logan began selling everything from strawberry jam to plywood out of an underutilized, abandoned building in the old farmers market, which was on Hodges Street, off Capital Boulevard.
He had been a grocer before opening his business, so selling produce was a natural fit for his father, the younger Logan said. But it was railroad salvage that turned out to be truly lucrative.
So the elder Logan secured a contract with a railroad company, allowing the farmers market business to sell damaged goods — things like cans bent out of shape during shipment. The younger Logan estimates the company grossed close to $100,000 in its first year.
Business was good until the early 1970s, when the family abruptly lost their contract with the railroad company. The younger Logan said his father had to borrow money to make it through those few years.
"That was a period of time that was a little bit more of a struggle for us," the younger Logan said. After seriously considering dedicating his life to ministry, he committed to the business full-time in 1973.
It wasn't long before a new venture presented itself. Growers began approaching the Logans to see if the they would sell their plants. In gardening, the family found a community demand.
The elder Logan died in 1984, and his son assumed ownership and management of the company. His five sisters, Jackie Logan, Linda O'Keffee, Janet Bowers, Rita Bristow and Debby Rodden, were also involved.
In the late 1980s, the younger Logan started searching for a new location. The farmers market was moving and too far away from downtown for his taste. From the beginning, he had had his eye on what was then a vacant Seaboard Station. After an unsuccessful attempt to buy the lot, the family managed to strike a deal with CSX Railroad Company, owners of the lot, in 1989.
Many people thought the younger Logan "was crazy" for choosing that location, said Leslie Logan Brown, his daughter. He ended up investing more in repairing the place than he spent to buy it. According to Wake County's real estate data website, the property was purchased in 1990 for $450,000.
To make the space usable, the owners fixed a leaking roof, replaced rotting rafters and paved over the railroad tracks to make way for rows of plants. For almost ten years, Logan Trading Company was basically alone as a retailer in that part of Raleigh.
Seaboard Station and the area surrounding it was abandoned and decrepit, a "ghost town," Logan Brown's brother, Joshua Logan, said about how he remembers the now-bustling commercial center in the early 1990s. He remembers the ugly warehouses and the vandalism the family confronted in the business' first years after relocating.
But as the city grew up, so did Seaboard. Joshua Logan said 75 percent of the structure of the warehouses were demolished and rebuilt, and by 2004, businesses were moving into the new spaces in the center, which is near what's now William Peace University and about a half of a mile from the State Capitol building.
Soon Logan's was surrounded by retail that included a hardware store, restaurants and Capital City Grocery, which closed in 2008.
The younger Logan said the company has brought in about $5 million in annual revenue over the past five years. Each year, about 300,000 people visit the store, logging between 60,000 and 80,000 transactions, he said.
In recent years, responsibilities have shifted from the family's second generation to its third. Joshua Logan, 33, and his sister, 37, are tasked with continuing the family legacy and adapting the business to an increasingly young urban customer base in downtown Raleigh.
The siblings split management responsibilities — Logan Brown handles administration and manages employees, while Joshua Logan oversees inventory.
Logan Brown, a mother of three, is an excellent organizer by her brother's description. Joshua Logan, a newlywed, described himself as more of a visionary. He wonders how garden shops will evolve in the coming decades.
Consumer interest is changing in Raleigh. Many of Logan Trading Company's customers are new to gardening and more interested in organic food and sustainable living than in years past. Logan Brown said 20 years ago, few people cared about organic foods. In order to expand the business and keep up with customers, she said they'll need to cater to younger families with interests distinct from their Baby Boomer parents.
"We have had to make a lot of transitions to better relate to our younger employees as well as our younger consumers," Joshua Logan said.
The foundations created by their grandfather are still dear to Logan Brown and Joshua Logan.
Logan Brown's two teenagers have expressed interest in making a career out of Logan Trading Company, and the Logan siblings would love to see the company owned by a fourth generation one day. Neither can imagine selling the business.
In the meantime, Logan Brown and Joshua Logan are considering expanding on their North Hills springtime pop-up shops to take advantage of the company's most lucrative months. They've also talked about expanding to a second location.
However, nothing is certain yet.
"We're exploring our options for the next 50 years," Logan Brown said.
Logan's will celebrate its 50th anniversary Saturday.
The free event will include food, live music by funk, soul and rock band CROSSOVERDRIVE and sales from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m..

Q: Remove characters in link within string My string:
some text some text some text some text  < a href = http ://sometextsometextsometextsometextsometext >text some text some text
Is there any way using preg_match or str_replace to only remove the  in the link tag?
Thanks

A: Okay, so here's an idea using PHP's function preg_replace_callback
<?php

// SET TEXT TO BE USED
$string = 'some text some text some text some text <a href=http://sometextsometextsometextsometextsometext>text some text some text.  And We Have A Google Link';

// USE A CALLBACK FUNTION TO SCAN THROUGH LINKS
$string = preg_replace_callback('~<a.*?~', 'remove_crap_from_links', $string);

print $string;

// THIS IS THE CALLBACK FUNCTION ... EACH LINK IS STORED AS '$m'
function remove_crap_from_links($m) {

    // PULL OUT THE PART OF THE LINK BEFORE THE CLOSING LINK BRACKET
    // (USE A NEGATIVE LOOKAHEAD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN'T HAVE ANY OPENING/CLOSING HTML BRACKETS IN THERE
    if (preg_match('~(?:[^<>]*?)~i', $m[0], $url_matches)) {

        // RUN A PHP strip_tags FUNCTION TO PULL OUT ANY HTML TAGS FOUND IN THE LINK BODY
        $stripped_url = strip_tags($url_matches[1]);

        // REBUILD THE URL, USING THE $stripped_url IN PLACE OF WHAT WAS ALREADY THERE
        $clean_url = preg_replace('~((?:[^<>]*?))~', '$1'.$stripped_url.'$3', $m[0]);

    }

    return $clean_url;

}

So basically, I'm taking the part that has been suggested a couple of times with PHP's strip_tags function, but only using on parts that it finds inside of link tags.
Here is a working demo

A: You can use strip_tags function in php to remove html tags.
$text = 'Test paragraph. Other text';
echo strip_tags($text);

Output : Test paragraph. Other text

A: strip_tags - Strip HTML and PHP tags from a string
PHP Code
<?php
$text = '
Test paragraph.
 Other text';
echo strip_tags($text);
echo "\n";

// Allow
 and
echo strip_tags($text, '
');
?>

The above example will output:
Test paragraph. Other text

Test paragraph.
 Other text

The theme for week one of PR&P was to remix the Popover Dress. (It's a free pattern--HERE.) This is my interpretation.
The original dress is a simple A-line with a small yolk and tie straps. While my version of the dress looks significantly different than the original, structurally speaking, it's altered very little. The straps no longer tie, and I added sleeves. Besides that is the obvious drop waist and ruffles, but those were just sewn on top of the A-line dress--no structural change.
So it was a really simple alteration. But I learned something important in the process: I really don't like making ruffles.
I love the dress. I think it's adorable. Boo loves the dress. But Daddy's Girl will not be getting a matching dress. Ugh, the ruffles. So adorable, yet so time consuming.
But look at this happy face. Totally worth it. And speaking of "worth it," this dress was completely free. There's the obvious free pattern, plus the blue fabric was leftover from a project I completed ... two years ago? and haven't posted yet. (Hmm, might should do that...) And the yellow fabric was leftover from this summer skirt I posted two years ago.
The drop waist and ruffles are adorable! - worth the effort, but I know what you mean about making ruffles, so time consuming!
The drop waist gives it such a different look, while keeping recognizable elements of the pattern--nice remix!
I'm totally into drop waists this fall so this caught my eye! I think it's adorable.
Your title made me laugh out loud!!!! And the dress is absolutely darling....seriously!
Oh my gosh, so adorable. Definitely flapper Belle. :) I once saw a bunch of cute "casual" Disney princess-inspired outfits on Pinterest, but I can't find it anymore. I'll try to track it down.


The Fields Institute will be hosting a summer research program for undergraduates to be held in July and August of 2011. The program will support up to thirty students to take part in research projects supervised by leading scientists from Fields partner universities or thematic programs.
Supervisors: Matheus Grasselli, McMaster University (presenting); Oleksandr Romanko, Mitacs - McMaster University - Algorithmics Inc.
Afternoon open for students to meet informally with supervisors.
Tuesday July 5 (or Wednesday July 6) afternoon: Introduction to the Fields SMART board and video conferencing facilities which are useful for remote collaboration.
Daniel Pellicer will meet with students involved with the "Symmetries of Euclidean Tessellations and Their Covers" Project in Room 210, 10 a.m.-12 noon.
The question of P vs. NP is one of the central questions in computer science and mathematics. (It is one of the Clay Institute Millenial Problems whose solution would yield an award of $1,000,000.) In the first half of August 2010, an HP researcher claimed to have solved the problem, using tools from mathematical logic and statistical physics, including a theorem proved by the speaker in 1982.
The claim generated a huge buzz in computer science, with coverage also in the New York Times. This talk will explain what the P-vs-NP problem is, what tools were employed in the claimed proof, and what the status of the claim is.
During the final week, students are requested to prepare a report on their projects and their experience in the Program to be emailed to programs(PUT_AT_SIGN_HERE)fields.utoronto.ca before August 27. These reports will be used in the Fields Newsletter and Annual Report.
Mini-Conference: Undergraduate research students will present their work. This Conference will form a special Fields Undergraduate Network (FUN) event.
Supervisors: Isabel Hubard, Mark Mixer, Daniel Pellicer, Asia Ivic Weiss.
The study of Euclidean symmetries has origins in antiquity, for instance with the Platonic solids. In the 19th and 20th century, new ideas emerged, which revitalized the eld and created numerous interesting topics of active research.
A symmetry of an Euclidean tessellation is an isometry of the space that preserves it. Our study of these symmetries will be focused on the number of orbits of some elements of the tessellation, such as vertices, edges, ags, etc., under a given isometry subgroup.
Initially we start with a geometric approach, that will lead into algebraic, combinatorial, and topological ones. Various open problems related to Archimedean tessellations in 2 and 3 space will be explored.
1. First three chapters of "Regular Complex Polytopes" by H.S.M. Coxeter.
2. "Uniform Tilling of 3-Space" by B. Grunbaum, Geombinatorics 4(1994), 49 - 56.
3. The attached notes by I. Hubard.
Many interesting and important questions from computer science, combinatorics, logic, and database theory can be expressed in the form of a constraint satisfaction problem. Recently an algebraic approach to settling some central conjectures in this area have been developed and have led to the investigation of some novel properties of finite algebraic and combinatorial systems. The proposed project will involve experimenting with small algebraic and combinatorial systems to test several conjectures and open problems that are concerned with solving associated instances of the constraint satisfaction problem.
Ideally students will have an interest and background in abstract algebra and also in combinatorics, logic, and computational complexity, but this is not essential.
Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic which studies the logical theories of classes of structures or models. Traditionally this logic has been classical first order logic and the techniques of first order model theory have been used successfully in many areas of algebra, number theory and geometry. Recently a new logic called continuous logic has been developed and it is more suited for applications in analysis. One area of application is operator algebras (algebras of operators acting on a Hilbert space). A concrete problem in this area is studying the asymptotic behaviour of sentences in continuous logic in matrix algebras.
Study of the development of glaucoma, this is a condition in which the optic nerve is damaged and is often associated with increased fluid pressure in the eye (occular hypertension). The proposal is to model the flow of aqueous humor in the eye using the partial differential equations governing buoyancy-driven flows (Navier-Stokes equations coupled to the heat equation). Of course the full set of equations are too difficult to solve (except numerically), and we will make some approximations from lubrication theory that will lead to a set of equations that are analytically tractible.
Rigidity theory is motivated by diverse applications in computer aided design, materials science and structural engineering. We consider realisations of graphs as physical objects (called frameworks) where the vertices represent joints and the edges bars between pairs of joints. A framework is rigid if the only edge-length-preserving continuous motions of the vertices are induced by isometries. For almost all frameworks it is the properties of the graph that determine rigidity rather than the specific realisation.
The natural classes of graphs that arise in rigidity theory are graphs G=(V,E) for which |E|=k|V|-l (for natural numbers k,l) together with a corresponding subgraph inequality. Despite their innocent appearance these graphs have a rich combinatorial flavour that the students can explore. Particularly the proposed project would be based around one or more of the following: inductive constructions, spanning subgraph decompositions, algorithms, matroids and simple versus multigraphs.
Out of town students accepted into the program will receive financial support for travel to Toronto, student residence housing on the campus of the University of Toronto from July 4 to August 26, 2011, and a per diem for meals. Non-Canadian students will receive medical coverage during their stay.
Students will work on research projects in groups of three or four. Some projects will be related to the Fields Thematic Programs on The Mathematics of Constraint Satisfaction and on Discrete Geometry and Applications. In addition, supervisors will suggest other topics outside of these fields. In some cases students may also have the opportunity to spend a week off site at the home campus of the project supervisor(s).
Undergraduate students in mathematics and related disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Note: Students requiring visas for travel to Canada will need to make their own arrangements to obtain the necessary documents.

It was our first night in Provence.We spend 2 months a year in the South of France and often visit Aix.I would recommend a visit here, my friend had the italienne salad and I had s...The duck salad was delicious.
Open Monday to Saturday 07H00 am to 19H00 NON STOP. You can come to eat all the day or just take an icecream, drink a coffee... The restaurant can open the doors every evenings for diner for groups. You just have to contact us to book the restaurant. We can serve until 70 persons.
You know when you go to a restaurant filled with local clientele that it will be good. It is not in a very scenic area, right next to a car park, but the service and food more than makes up for this.
Reasonably priced food with excellent service.
An 'Aix' Gem of a Lunch Spot!
We had a very enjoyable & relaxed lunch at this friendly gem of a restaurant. The duck salad was delicious. The service was efficient but friendly & we enjoyed a French-English language exchange trying to order! I don't hesitate to recommend it.
This restaurant is intimate and nice but also family friendly and their food is amazing. The servers are kind, recommending great dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal.
Wonderful spot off the tourist circuit. Our group of 4 started with aperatifs and then ordered our entrees off the daily menu Everything was delicious. The beautiful setting sitting outside was quiet and serene. Would definitely go back.

Each opening was outfitted with LED lighting hidden behind channels. The channels were created with trim, to obscure the subtle light source.
ABM was commissioned for this project when a number of areas of a home needed special attention; many details in the project required sound engineering solutions. Working carefully with the client, we designed the look desired for each room and then fabricated all components and panels into individual "packages" with a final order of operations for trim carpenters to install. Phase one of this home venture: a study that was to be completely on site-built. It went together like a puzzle piece and allowed the onsite carpenters to achieve detail and quality that far succeeded any standard site-built package.
Once installed, the client asked for our expertise to create an on-site finish solution that included hand detailing such as subtle distressing, misting a dye stain, applying wiping glaze, and a final wax topcoat.
From there we moved on to the project of his and her master closets, both of which incorporated some specific client-requested details. The wood species selected for his closet was a ribbon cut Sapele, which had to go through several steps of dye staining, followed by a number of coats of clear grain filler. Each step was carefully done to achieve the smooth hi-gloss lacquer finish that was desired. Drawer hardware was fabricated to be full length on all doors and drawers. Frames for the ottoman and island were fabricated and then plated in a nickel finish. One of the more detailed and involved pieces, each closet rod was a solid 1 1/8 inch, and each was notched symmetrically to individual openings, creating the needed unique spacing for shorts, suits, and pants.
Her closet was a clean and bright dressing room that artfully integrated shoe storage, drawer banks, and a mix of long and short hang areas. Each opening was outfitted with LED lighting hidden behind channels. The channels were created with trim, to obscure the subtle light source. Telescoping Valet rods were custom plated to match the light fixture finish and installed into the partitions of each cabinet.

Marin Voice: Support county's homeless…
Marin Voice: Support county's homeless population, reflect on those we lost
Homeless camps are seen in a parking lot under a stretch of highway 101 overpass near Fourth Street in San Rafael, Calif. on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020. (Sherry LaVars/Marin Independent Journal)
By Lynn Murphy |
December 26, 2020 at 11:59 a.m.
National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day took place earlier this month. It is a day to remember and honor those who died while experiencing homelessness. It takes place annually on the first day of winter and the longest night of the year.
This year has been a particularly difficult one for obvious reasons, but especially so for people without homes living on the streets.
A few weeks ago, a woman who was experiencing homelessness was found dead underneath Highway 101 in Central Marin. I write this with her family's blessing. I knew her well, and knew that many people in our system of care tried to and did help her over the years. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of severe mental illness made her psychosis staggeringly debilitating.
She grew up in Marin, with what all would consider a "good family." She went to Tamalpais High School and then Stanford as a swim recruit. She was the picture of success and seemed to have the world in the palm of her hand.
In her mid-20s, mental illness began to take hold. It is the cruel reality of psychotic disorders: People in their 20s, in the prime of life, about to launch into adulthood, instead have a psychotic break that often plunges them into a deep, dark hole with no bottom.
This woman was in and out of mental health and various treatment programs but was essentially homeless for decades despite her own best efforts and the support of those who understood her situation.
One weekend after her death, I went to the Village at Corte Madera and drove across the overpass where she was found. I parked in the shopping mall lot and observed the cars — Audis, BMWs, Teslas all bright and shiny. I walked to the campsite where she died, in the shadow of this bastion of wealth and abundance.
Her campsite is about a half mile from the new Project Homekey motel, which will be turned into permanent supportive housing for individuals who are homeless. The project was approved despite complaints from many in the community. People often complain about homeless camps, but also don't want housing to get them out of camps. The cruel irony of this hit me like a wave in that moment.
In Marin County we have made great progress in getting people into housing. In fact, in the 2019 point-in-time count, Marin had a 28% decrease in the number of chronically homeless individuals. This is in marked contrast to other Bay Area counties which saw increases. Individuals in Marin who have been housed in permanent supportive housing have a 93% retention rate. Those that fall out, get another opportunity in a different unit that is better suited to their needs. We keep trying until we find the right fit.
Despite this positive movement in the right direction, we can do more. We can support housing opportunities such as Homekey. We can support the organizations that are doing heroic work housing people – Homeward Bound of Marin, Ritter Center and St. Vincent de Paul Society. We can try to understand the plight of people who are still living outdoors. They are members of our community with families of their own.
This holiday, I ask that you keep people living outdoors — as well as their families — in your thoughts. National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day is a day of remembrance and also a day of reflection on how we, as individuals and as a community, can better support people as they suffer from homelessness and mental illness.

OHT's Alfa Lift Vessel to Install Dogger Bank A Wind Farm Foundations
By sailor.news team On August 1, 2020 In Technology No Comments
Norway's Offshore Heavy Transports has won a contract to transport and install foundations for the first phase of Equinor's and SSE's Dogger Bank Wind Farm, Dogger Bank A, in the UK, using its foundation installation vessel Alfa Lift being built in China.
To remind, OHT was in November 2019 selected as the preferred supplier for foundation installation at the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm, and it has now secured the firm contract for the Dogger Bank A.
"The contract for the second phase, Dogger Bank B, is expected to follow in due course," OHT said Friday.
The Dogger Bank A project will be the monopile installation debut for OHT's specialist new build vessel Alfa Lift which is currently under construction at CMHI'S shipyard in China.
The Alfa Lift will transport the monopile foundations and transition pieces to the offshore site, more than 130km off the north-east coast of England, and install them in water depths up to 35 meters, utilizing the vessel's 3,000-tonne crane, mission equipment and smart deck handling system.
Steve Wilson, Dogger Bank's Project Director, said: "It's great news to confirm the OHT Alfa Lift vessel for Dogger Bank A. Their vessel is one of the most innovative heavy transportation and installation vessels on the market and we are very pleased to have them working with us as we deliver this ground-breaking project." Alfa Lift Artist's Impression – Credit: OHT
"We look forward to working with Norway's OHT to make Dogger Bank a success. The Alfa Lift is an excellent example of the new, efficient, and innovative vessels which we need to revolutionize the offshore wind industry and make it even more competitive," Halfdan Brustad, vice president for Dogger Bank in Equinor, said.
The foundations will be amongst the largest ever used for offshore wind and are expected to be installed at Dogger Bank A between 2022 and 2023.
"The contract is a significant milestone for OHT and we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate Alfa Lift's market-leading capabilities in delivering this landmark project. We are privileged to be working with like-minded, forward-thinking colleagues at SSE Renewables and Equinor' said Torgeir E. Ramstad, CEO, OHT.
The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is being developed by SSE Renewables and Equinor, with first power expected in 2023. The contract is subject to the project's final investment decision.
The Dogger Bank project is located in the North Sea, approximately 130km from the Yorkshire Coast, with water depth at the site ranging from 20m to 35m.
Each project will have an installed capacity of 1.2GW and will be able to power 1.5 million homes. Together, the projects can cover approximately 5% of the UK's estimated electricity generation. The first project is expected to be operational in 2023.
Equinor and SSE continue to progress towards final investment decisions for all three projects, aiming for Q4 2020 for Doggerbank A and B and late 2021 for Dogger Bank C.
Worth reminding, the Alfa Lift contract announcement comes just a day after OHT announced the decision to expand its offshore wind offering, and enter the offshore wind turbine installation market. OHT said Thursday it had entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) in Jiangsu, China for the construction of two wind turbine generator (WTG) installation vessels.

This Crazy Star Wars Fan Has Transformed An Observatory Into A Giant R2-D2
Tags: space, Star Wars
By Mayukh Saha / Truth Theory
Hubert Zitt, a professor from a distant land (Germany) who teaches at The Zweibrücken University of Applied Sciences is known for lecturing on seemingly unusual topics such as Star Wars and Star Trek. Professor Hubert, with the help of his squad, if we may say so, has now converted the Zweibrück Observatory of the Natural Science Association into the friendly robot that some of us might know of. Oh yes! R2-D2! The clumsy yet cute little being who whirs around planets and space ships.
Image credits: Hochschule Kaiserslautern
This project was completed in September 2018 by Professor Hubert. He was offered plenty of help from his students, his father-in-law Horst Helle, and Klaus Ruffing, the chief painter.
The project has obviously garnered a lot of interest from fans of the Star Wars franchise from all around the world. Mark Hamill, one of the actors in the Star Wars movies, happens to be the most prominent admirer of the giant robot building. He, in fact, tweeted about the R2-D2, saying it changed Germans into Giant Nerds.
Interestingly enough, Professor Hubert and the team are not exactly the only fans of the franchise to have undertaken such a design challenge. Goodsell Observatory of Carleton College from the State Minnesota undertook another similar project in 2010 transforming their observatory into an R2-D2.

Professor Dr. Hubert Zitt is more famously known for the Star Trek and Star Wars nerd-ism now. But it is certainly remarkable to come across the fact that he began by studying electrotechnology. He has earned his Ph.D. in the area of study of systems theory of electro-technology from Saarland University. The University of Applied Sciences in Kaiserslautern, Zweibrücken is where he is a tenured faculty member now. In his free time, he is busy propagating his favorite science-fiction trivia and pop culture.

Professor Hubert has attained the position as the Global Top Presenter on Star Trek. He first conducted a Star Trek lecture dubbed as "Christmas Lecture" that individuals just could not have enough of. From 2005, he took a leap and started conducting his lectures at conventions like FedCon, which happens to be the largest convention of Science Fiction in Europe as well as in many other universities.

Professor Hubert amassed a lot of due recognition in 2008 when he authored the foreword of the literary piece, 'Star Trek in Germany', partnering with the child of Gene Roddenberry, the inventor of Star Trek. Also, in the year of 2008, Professor Hubert took up the post of a permanent lecturer at the University of the Incarnate Word situated in the city of San Antonio, Texas. There, he imparts knowledge on 'The Physics of Star Trek'.

The R2-D2 is certainly distinctive in its presence, guarding this area of the university. But realizing how much of a fanatic Professor Hubert is, perhaps C-3PO might also share the shape with R2-D2 in the coming years. What do you think?

France's most beautiful cathedrals, part four : Notre Dame d'Amiens
July 10, 2013 By An Tampere | France
This article is in English. Click here to read it in French.
Of the 154 cathedrals built in France, only eight appear on UNESCO's World Heritage site list: Chartes, Amiens, Reims, Bourges, Paris, Lyon, Le Havre and Albi. One reason for this may be the long and meticulous selection procedure necessary for the French buildings to be registered.
Only an hour's drive from Paris, the city of Amiens houses the biggest French gothique cathedral built in the XIIIth century. The cathedral was registered on UNESCO's World Heritage sites list in 1981, and was recognized as a monument on the road of Santiago de Compostela in 1998.
In France it symbolises the wealth of the 'Land of blue gold'
The construction of Amiens' cathedral was launched in 1220. Amiens is considered as the city of woad – as it is commonly called – because of the enormous fields of glastum. The leaves of this colorific plant change the shade of any textile into blue, a highly-valued hue at that time.
This business enabled Amiens to construct a marvellous cathedral on its own in barely 50 years, regarded as a record in those days.
The end of all construction work is estimated around 1269 when a window, presented by Bernard d'Abbeville, takes its final place. Actually, it is one of the last coloured glass windows of the cathedral still in place.
The others were taken into pieces during the 1st World War and then got destroyed in a fire. The window hangs over the choir and as in a grand finale composes one of the most beautiful stalls you can find in France. Stalls were set to receive canons and demonstrate the fortune of a city, through the impressive delicacy of its wood sculptures.
An example of French Neogothic-style perfection
For some, the cathedral, and especially the seven chapels around the ambulatory, at the edge of the choir, symbolize the zenith of all pursuit for that which the sublime artists used to look for in the Neogothic era.
You should definitely stop for a moment in axis chapel. Though its decoration was modified several times, the chapel managed to keep its special look. This is due to the architectural setting resembling the Saint Chapel in Paris, as well as the unique coloured windows in the cathedral.
The crying Angel is absolutely worthy of a glance! This small statue facing the entrance of the chapel used to be only one among the others for a long time. A fair number of the American soldiers stationed some kilometers away from Amiens during the 1st World War have sent postcards of this Angel to their family. Since then, this angel has gained a certain 'personal' fame.
A French cathedral with colourful façade
Twice a year, once in summer and winter, Amiens covers the cathedral in its traditional colours via digital projectors. It thus becomes easier to evoke the grandeur of a cathedral in its heyday. But even without this special method some statues are also decorated by the traditional coloration, exceptional in France!
All of the statues call back a scene from the Bible. In this sense the main door manifests the Final Judgment, with the Vertus on one side and the Vices on the other. The portal of the Divine Mother opens to the south dedicated to the Virgin. On the northern side, St Firmin's story calls your attention together with the zodiacal signs.
And last but not least, after this visit have a look round in the old town and the district of Saint-Leu and enjoy some time in a café terrace right next to one of the multiple canals.
Which is your favourite cathedral in France?

Ten Books That Changed Me with Ellie O'Neill
Posted on February 1, 2018 by ausromtoday in Ten Books That Changed Me // 0 Comments
Forever Judy Blume
This book was like contraband in our school library in primary, in fact all the Judy Blume books were. She addressed the things that us pre teens in eighties Ireland, in a convent school were starved for like boys, and puberty and you know sex. Judy, unbeknown to the nuns was giving us a healthy dose of sensible advice and in Forever *GULP* two teenagers have loving and consensual sex out of wedlock, definitely not the kind of sex the nuns wanted us to know about. They eventually got wind of it and it was whipped out of the library and our lives but the excitement and secrecy and wonder of the book stayed with me. Go Judy! Sixth class, 1989, in Our Lady of Mercy are forever indebted to her.
Are you there God it's me Margaret Judy Blume
Another Judy book. I loved this one for all the same reasons as Forever. In Are you there….? Margaret gets her period, her first bra, likes boys and is confused about religion, I was Margaret with an Irish accent. She asked all the questions I was too terrified to ask. Reading this I remember feeling like I was part of a secret club, and that maybe eventually everything would be OK.
Me Talk Pretty David Sedaris
Oh David! I think this might be my desert island book, this or a pop up book that turns into a raft with a motor. This book is a collection of autobiographical essays about growing up in a large family, being gay and learning to speak French. He is a master of self deprecating humour. To call this book hilarious is an understatement, it is thigh slapping, tears rolling down cheeks brilliant. And it is also poignant, dark and insightful. He has written many books, but this was the first I found, and as with all love stories the first time, is the best.
Revolutionary Road Richard Yates
Nobody can write like Richard Yates. His language, his sentences, his characters, his plot lines are awe inspiring. I am completely intimidated by his writing brilliance. Revolutionary Road is about so much more than a marriage coming apart in post war America. It's about two people who believe that they can be different and kick societal norms to the curb. But don't we all believe we're different? That's what kills me about Yates writing, he speaks to me so clearly, I am present in every dark, flawed character he evokes. Scary hey? It's a wonderfully, depressing, insightful novel that is beautifully written.
A Handmaid's Tale Margaret Atwood
From one depressing insightful novel to another, is it wine o'clock yet? A Handmaid's Tale is an incredible book, one of the ultimate dystopian novels. It's set in a near future where a fundamentalist Christian group have overthrown the US government, they quickly take away womens rights and reorganize a military society as inspired by the Old Testament. It is a chilling, convincing and terrifying book, and a reminder that modern society is a careful balance. Are you listening Mr Trump?
Reluctantly Charmed Ellie O'Neill (Hmmmm Hmmmm)
I know, I know it's my own book, and surely I shouldn't be allowed. But seriously, this was life changing for me. I wrote a book. Me? And then it turned into a book that people wanted to read, people who were not related to me (although I still suspect my mum bought the first thousand copies). It was a game changer.
11/22/63 Stephen King
I am a fan of 'what if' books and for me this is the ultimate. What if you could go back in time and figure out who killed JFK? What would you do? With graphic storytelling and layers of complexity involved in writing historical fiction with a twist and the most delicate, gentle love story we learn that time travel is not straight forward and trying to 'correct' history can lead to disaster. I love this book.
Rachels Holiday Marian Keyes
All hail Marian! Funny, sad, absorbing, entertaining, un-put-downable, this is a knockout book, written in a wonderful, approachable style that appears effortless, as if the story just bubbles out of her. Fantastic writing.
1984 George Orwell
Oh no, what is it with all these dark dystopian books? But yes, it's true. This was the first one I read as a mere teen and I could not believe it, my poor little brain was fried, and still is. This is one of those books that I can't shake, the concept is mind blowing and sad and eerily possible especially with technology progressing as it is and the cyber spooks that surround us. Big Brother is watching me and so is my iphone, my lap top, my kettle and my neighbours dog.
Gone with the Wind Margaret Mitchell
I have read Gone with the Wind many times and many, many times I have shouted like an idiot at the pages, 'No Scarlett, not Ashley, it's Rhett, it's Rhett.' But it always ends the same and Scarlett O'Hara remains the human, ruthless, strong and flawed character that I love so much. This was Margaret Mitchells life work, her only book and I think that was a life well lived.
The Right Girl
Ellie O'Neill (published Simon and Schuster is released 1st February)
What do you do when your perfect life . . . isn't?
Freya has the best life – she's officially in love and her floristry business, Blooming Brilliant, is going from strength to strength.
Two years ago, it was a different story. She was barely employed as the worst waitress in the world, with no hope of a boyfriend, and no bank balance. But then she got BBest, a lifestyle app that knows you better than you know yourself. It changed everything. It streamlined her life, taking her likes and dislikes and skills and foibles, and gave her the best options so she doesn't make mistakes anymore. Freya has never looked back – and neither has anyone else. Everyone loves BBest, it's a game changer.
But if she's so in love, why doesn't it feel exactly right? And who is that mysterious man in her beloved grandfather's bookshop with soulful eyes that leave her unstitched? All of a sudden Freya has so many questions – and no one seems to be able to answer them. She begins to wonder what she really agreed to when she let BBest into her life. Then her grandfather is arrested, and Freya is thrust into a world she could never have imagined in her shiny, successful existence.
When you have the perfect life, should you listen to your head or your heart?
