Vancouver, B.C. – June 28, 2017 – K2 Gold Corporation ("K2" or the "Company") (KTO:TSX-V) is pleased to announce that further to its news releases dated June 5, 2017 and June 12, 2017, the Company has completed its non-brokered private placement of 2,301,400 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.35 per Unit and 986,250 flow through shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.40 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of $1,199,990 (the "Offering").
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant for a term of eighteen months (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of K2 at an exercise price of $0.55 per common share during the term of the Warrants, subject to the right of the Company to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants. If at any time after October 29, 2017 and during the Warrant Term, the common shares of the Company close at a price at or above $0.65 per share for more than 10 consecutive trading days (an "Acceleration Event") and the Company elects to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants and give notice, within five days of such Acceleration Event, to the holders that an Acceleration Event has occurred, then the expiry of the Warrants will be accelerated such that the Warrants will then terminate 30 calendar days after the Company gives such notice (the "Accelerated Expiry").
In connection with the Offering, K2 entered into finder's fee agreements with four arm's length finders, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Richardson GMP Ltd., PI Financial Corp., and Haywood Securities Inc., pursuant to which K2 issued 155,540 warrants ("Finder's Warrants") and paid cash finders' fees in the aggregate of $57,064 (the "Cash Finders Fee"). Each Finder's Warrant has the same terms as the Warrants issued under the Offering.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by K2 principally towards its exploration program currently being conducted on the Wels Gold property, as well as exploration at its other properties located in the Yukon, and for general working capital purposes.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring October 29, 2017.
K2 Gold Corporation is a mineral exploration company focused on building a portfolio of gold exploration projects in the Yukon, with an initial drill program on the Wels Property now underway. The Company has assembled an experienced management team and board of directors with a track record of discovery success.
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the proposed use of proceeds from the Offering. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company's inability to reach satisfactory agreements with First Nations to facilitate its exploration and development plans for the Wels, Fume, Storck and Ladue Properties, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its planned activities, and the Company's inability to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies. The reader is referred to the Company's public disclosure record which is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. Except as required by securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


An octet is eight consecutive bits. It is equivalent to a byte, as long as the byte is also eight bits.
A bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and communications, and it always has a value of either zero or one. A byte is a contiguous sequence of a fixed number of bits that is used as a unit of memory, storage and instructions execution in computers.
The number of bits in a byte varied according to the model of computer and its operating system in the early days of computing. For example, the PDP-7, for which the first version of UNIX was written, had 18-bit bytes. Today, however, a byte virtually always consists of eight bits.
As is the case with an eight-bit byte, an octet can be expressed both as a decimal integer ranging from zero to 255 and as a pair of hexadecimal (i.e., base 16) digits ranging from 00 to FF.
Each of the four number groups that comprise the 32-bit IP addresses used in IPv4, the current mainstream addressing protocol for the Internet, is also an octet. The word quad has the same meaning as octet in this context.

Jezero Fehér-tó (v češtině doslova Bílé jezero) se nachází v jižní části Maďarska, v blízkosti Segedína. Jezero se rozkládá na ploše 14 km² v chráněné krajinné oblasti Pusztaszeri, která je součástí národního parku Kiskunság.

Je to největší slané jezero v Maďarsku. Vzhledem k bohatému výskytu ptáků (asi 280 druhů) unikátní flóře se představuje striktně chráněnou oblast. Oblast je významným místem zastávek stěhovavých ptáků v Evropě. Chráněné je rovněž podle Ramsarské úmluvy. Během migrační sezóny lze na jezeře pozorovat hejna jeřábů, divokých hus a kachen.

První písemná zmínka o existenci jezera v psaných pramenech pochází z roku 1075. Ještě na počátku 19. století byla jeho oblast pravidelně zaplavována nedalekou řekou Tisou. Jezero kdysi patřilo do skupiny typických nížinných slaných jezer. Ta se vyznačují kalnou vodou, kterou zde způsobuje kromě solí také hromadění šedobílého uhličitano-vápenatého bahna při dně.

Q: I cannot understand WHY I cannot change state in Redux slice I get the array of objects coming from backend, I get it with socket.io-client. Here we go!
//App.js
   import Tickers from "./Components/TickersBoard";
import { actions as tickerActions } from "./slices/tickersSlice.js";
const socket = io.connect("http://localhost:4000");

function App() {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  useEffect(() => {
    socket.on("connect", () => {
      socket.emit("start");
      socket.on("ticker", (quotes) => {
        dispatch(tickerActions.setTickers(quotes));
      });
    });
  }, [dispatch]);

After dispatching this array goes to Action called setTickers in the slice.
//slice.js
const tickersAdapter = createEntityAdapter();
const initialState = tickersAdapter.getInitialState();
const tickersSlice = createSlice({
  name: "tickers",
  initialState,
  reducers: {
    setTickers(state, { payload }) {
      payload.forEach((ticker) => {
        const tickerName = ticker.ticker;
        const {
          price,
          exchange,
          change,
          change_percent,
          dividend,
          yeild,
          last_trade_time,
        } = ticker;

        state.ids.push(tickerName);
        const setStatus = () => {
          if (ticker.yeild > state.entities[tickerName].yeild) {
            return "rising";
          } else if (ticker.yeild < state.entities[tickerName].yeild) {
            return "falling";
          } else return "noChange";
        };
        state.entities[tickerName] = {
          status: setStatus(),
          price,
          exchange,
          change,
          change_percent,
          dividend,
          yeild,
          last_trade_time,
        };
        return state;
      });
      return state;
    },
  },
});

But the state doesn't change. I tried to log state at the beginning, it's empty. After that I tried to log payload - it's ok, information is coming to action. I tried even to do so:
setTickers(state, { payload }) {
      state = "debag";
      console.log(state);

and I get such a stack of logs in console:
debug
debug
debug
3 debug
2 debug
and so on.

Your lawn will most likely not need as much water in the fall as it would during the spring and summer seasons. But cool season grasses still need enough fall watering to carry them through the long winter. Just because temperatures cool don't forget to water. During the fall season, water twice a week for about 20 minutes and it is best to do so early enough in the day so your grass is dry by night fall.
Warm grasses do not need any special watering attention in the fall.

3 What about USB 2.0?
RuiSeabra: Do not remove one of the accelerators, having two vectors is useful for many applications.
daveb: I've heard lots of contradictory information about this, but I'm certainly not an accelerometer expert. My understanding is that as accelerometers detect lateral movement, but not rotation through their axis, the second accelerometer is intended to detect movement in one accelerometer when the device is rotated through the axis of the other. However, if the devices are too close together, it's difficult to get a useful reading? At the moment, are there freerunner applications which require two accelerometers? (does omnewrotate use both?) My understanding from the lists is that connecting both interrupts to one accelerometer will offer more benefits than sticking with two accelerometers.
Werner: when I asked whether anyone actually had an existing use case for two accelerometers, I got no replies. So it seems that having just one is good enough for real life.
Werner: people interesting in experimenting with case (re)design are entirely welcome to. It's just out of scope for gta02-core. I've posted some ideas to the gta03 list.
Pini: The title says it all :) It would be for sure a great improvement. Thanks.
Werner: I wish :-) Unfortunately, the S3C2442 can only do USB 1.1.
Mazikeen: Will there be a mod to prevent the ingress of GSM signal via the headset mic input, or indeed any other way t might find its way inside the can?
Werner: proper application of beads is indeed very high on my list. I'm also rather suspicious about TX/RX passing unbeaded between CPU and GPS. This will require the addition of components that don't exist on the original BOM, so we'll have to be careful what this does to the general budget. But I think it won't be a problem to get this right.
Mazikeen: Can we finally sort the low dc blocking cap value and parallel resistor value Joerg identified before release?
Werner: My plan is to pick up as many fixes as possible from what we know is broken in A7, from what was projected for A8, and also from the GTA03-6410 circuit. This is limited by the riskiness of changes and their impact on the BOM. I also hope Joerg can continue to give us guidance on getting the audio right. Making the "perfect" GTA02 isn't the main goal of this project, but if we can solve problems without jeopardizing the project, we should.

Stephanie Lampkin and Blendoor: Reducing Bias in Tech Hiring
February 27, 2017 - Blog, Women In Tech
Photo from Forbes.com
Stephanie Lampkin, founder and CEO of Blendoor, has been awarded the Kevin J Mossier Next Generation Award by StartOut, the LBGTQ Entrepreneur Organization.
Blendoor is a merit-based matching and recruiting app that reduces unconscious bias in the hiring process by hiding applicants' names, pictures, and dates. Using data-driven metrics, Blendoor helps companies make better hiring decisions. Candidates also have a window into company diversity and inclusion. Stephanie has an engineering degree from Stanford and an MBA from MIT. So when she found herself having difficulty finding a software engineering job in Silicon Valley, she had to wonder if being young made a difference? Or being a woman? Or being African-American? Or all three? She began researching diversity in tech hiring. What she found were quantifiable variables in the perception of race, gender, and age, and tech company hiring decisions that reflected these variables.
When she developed Blendoor the unconscious barriers and variables that impact hiring decisions were moved out of the way. Several companies with strong diversity and inclusion programs, such as Intel and Google, signed up to use her app before it was launched. Since that time, she has had a number of high profile companies, such as Facebook and Apple, come on board. Hiding photos and names on resumes allows applicants a safe zone where accomplishments can shine. For traditionally excluded populations, Blendoor can be the first step toward a seat at the table.
There are several other tools tech companies are using to deal with diversity, inclusion, and hiring bias. Psychologists believe that it is difficult to impossible to remove unconscious bias. What they propose are solutions that will mitigate the effects of unconscious bias in the workplace. GapJumpers is a new startup that looks at job skills and performs blind auditions, rather than looking at resumes. For jobs and skills that can be self-taught, like coding, applicants without college or experience have a way to shine. Applicants are given a skills test, or a hands-on task to complete. The audition is based on the results of the work. Textio was developed by looking at unconscious gender bias in the language of job descriptions. They use analytics and a predictive model to assess the language used in job searches and descriptions. Phrases are highlighted and areas of concern addressed, with suggestions for improvement. Companies using the method are meeting their hiring goals of more qualified and diverse candidates.
The National Center for Women and Information Technology has published some "Promising Practices" to help HR departments and hiring managers make decisions that reduce the impact of unconscious bias.SaveSave

The following poem "Our Ancestors" was written by Rana Salah. In this poem, Salah addresses and deconstructs the comfortable truth* of empty homelands. The myth of empty homelands is a myth propelled by invading colonial empires worldwide; a myth fundamental to displacement both here in Canada and abroad.
"a land without a people for a people without a land"
* #ComfortableTruths are mainstream attitudes and ideas about nationhood, belonging and identity that, despite not being true (such as "immigrants have it easy in Canada"), have become so engrained in the Canadian imaginary and mainstream culture that they become orthodoxy. As part of Cinema Politica's Nations & Migrations project we reached out to activists and artists across the country and asked them to share their thoughts and reactions to these so-called truths.

TV a bigger medium than films: Remo D'Souza
Posted By admin Posted On June 16, 2016
Choreographer-director Remo D'Souza, who is returning to the small screen as the super-judge of the second season of "Dance +", says TV is a bigger medium than films to connect with the audience.
"I think both (TV and films) are good, but I believe TV is a bigger medium because it is in every household. For films, they (audiences) have to come out and watch them in the theatre, but a TV is in the house. So, TV is a bigger medium," D'Souza told IANS here on Thursday.
He says that the second season of "Dance +" is going to be better than the first.
"I was never confident about other seasons doing better than the first in any other show, but this one, because I have seen the talent, I know that this season is much better than the first one for sure," he said.
Apart from D'Souza, the show will see dancers Dharmesh Yelande and Shakti Mohan as the captains. Punit Pathak is a new addition to the show. He will be seen as the third captain in the Star Plus show, which will air from July 2.
Talking about Punit, D'Souza said: "He is very talented… It's a plus point for us. There will be a tough competition for the other two (Dharmesh and Shakti) mentors. He brings a lot of new ideas in the show and he is very close to me also."
To be hosted by dancer Raghav Juyal, popularly known by his stage name Crockroaz, the show is produced by Frames productions and will be aired every Saturday and Sunday.

Is there FUSE overlay filesystem, that: * resolve on it's own "too long filenames" for underlying filesystem * otherwise (for filenames fitting into limits of underlying filesystem) just proxy 1:1 ?
Example how this could work: for each file fabc...yxz having file name too long for given underlying filesystem, translate this into shorter name and use second file as metadata with full filename details.
Use case: Limitation of encrypted filesystems like EncFS or ecryptfs. They provide ability of storing filenames shorter than in underlaying filesystem, when encrypting filenames, resulting that you can not rsync into them contents that require longer filenames. (e.g. Ext4 has 255B, ecryptfs on ext4 allow 143B of filenames).

We started Bath Rugby Foundation to make a difference to young people's lives in and around the City of Bath. We focus on three areas that really mean something to us: health, education, inclusion and employability.
We are passionate about giving young people across our city a brighter future. Through our charity we help to empower all young people in Bath and surrounding areas to succeed.
We, alongside the Foundation volunteer our time to help make a difference in our local community. Not to tick a box in a corporate social responsibility strategy, or to make ourselves feel good, but because we genuinely believe we can change lives for the better.
We also believe that our responsibility does not just end there and so we support three local Bath charities in addition to our work with Bath Rugby Foundation.
We hope that we can make a difference to these charities too and the causes they tirelessly work day in, day out to support. From sharing matchday fundraising throughout the season, to providing access to players for their events, through to smaller gestures such as signed merchandise to help boost their fundraising, we believe that every little helps.

HINTON, Okla. – A 22-year-old man died after his vehicle crashed near Hinton Saturday morning.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Rudolfo Rubio was driving eastbound on I-40, approximately 1.3 miles west of Hinton, when he lost control of his vehicle for an unknown reason. His vehicle then went off the road to right, struck a ditch, entered "a broad slide" and then impacted a tree.
OHP says Rubio was pinned for approximately 2.5 hours before being freed by the Hinton Fire Department who had to use the Jaws of Life.
OHP also says Rubio was wearing his seatbelt.
The cause of the collision is still under investigation, however, officials say the roadway was wet due to rain at the time of the crash.

Loud Planes Fly Low
by: The Rosebuds
(Merge Records)
The Rosebuds began in the most romantic of ways. Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp formed the band the same week they got married. They met in college in Wilmington, NC and then settled in Raleigh becoming mainstays in that music scene. Their first album The Rosebuds Make Out was a sunny album capturing much of the romantic whimsy that the title would imply.
The records that followed their debut showed some darker undertones. The Night Of The Furies was gothic dance record that recalled 80s groups like New Order. Considering the change in attitude from their debut, it should have been obvious that something deeper was going on.
That deeper something was their crumbling marriage which finally fell apart after 2008's Life Like. Crisp moved to Brooklyn while Howard stayed in NC. Loud Planes Fly Low became the product of this difficult divorce as both Howard and Crisp decided to forge on as bandmates even though their marriage was no longer.
In examining records that chronicle breakups, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours can't help but come to mind. That album was recorded after Fleetwood Mac had just released their most successful album to date. The success of that album, in part, caused the break up of both of the long term relationships within the band as the romantic pairings of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as well as John and Christine McVie both dissolved. Rumours contained songs from Buckingham, Nicks, and Christine McVie that all dealt with their breakups. It remains a powerful album and one that ended up becoming an all time best seller.
Although it might seem cliche to compare Loud Planes Fly Low to Rumours, it is thoroughly appropriate as well. About the only thing as powerful a muse as finding love is losing it and trying to deal with the aftermath. When that lost love is shared between bandmates, examining that loss together cannot help but provide a powerful listening experience.
The Fleetwood Mac references for Loud Planes Fly Low doesn't stop with Rumours. Since the Rosebuds have always had a fairly healthy musical connection to the 80s, their latest sounds a great deal like Fleetwood Mac's 80s music. Lindsey Buckingham remains one of pop music's most brilliant craftsmen and Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp share many of his sensibilities.
The entire experience of Loud Planes Fly Low is extremely moving. You can hear the emotion in each song as Howard and Crisp look to find common ground while also protecting emotional wounds that are still raw. There is a muted quality to the record, but that only serves to show how much they both still care for one another. As strange as this may sound, Loud Planes Fly Low is like a love letter to their marriage even though it is over. It seems as though both Howard and Crisp want to remember it fondly and be respectful of each other even though it is over.
"Go Ahead" and "Limitless Arms" begin the album in soothing fashion before "Second Bird Of Paradise" reveals a sense of darkness. Crisp takes her only lead vocal on "Come Visit Me" which captures the pain of trying to fill the emotional void left when a long term relationship ends. For all the complex pop structures on the album, they aren't afraid to strip things bare as they do on "Without A Focus" and "Worthwhile" which serve as an anchor, grounding things in reality.
All of the care and caution on the album allow "Woods" - the album's most emotionally raw song - to provide its full effect. The song uses the idea of an out of control forest fire as a metaphor for a broke relationship and its aftermath. It's appropriate considering a fire's destructive force and its black and charred remains. As Howard screams "Oh, good God," one can feel his naked pain.
Reports from the recording sessions told of painstaking and often difficult process. Each song on the album reflects this sense of great care. Southern pop legend Chris Stamey had a hand in production which was a wise choice. His perspective and experience must have helped the band tremendously.
Great loss will often lead to anger and sadness, but at some point there must be reflection and understanding. By coming together to look back on the marriage they lost, Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp have taken a harder path, but also a rewarding one for their listeners. It's not easy to see what the future holds for the Rosebuds beyond Loud Planes Fly Low, but this album provides them with true closure, something that often seems more a concept than a reality for anyone who has tried to find it.

Q: Let $E$ be an idempotent operator: If $E^2 = E$ is an operator on a finite dimensional vector space $V$. If $E^*E=EE^*$,  find $$(E + E^* -I)^{-1}$$
I know this operator is invertible, but I cannot find an explicit formula for its inverse.

A: (the original answer is below)
The condition $E^*E=EE^*$ is not needed; neither is finite dimension.
Let us do the finite-dimensional case first. Suppose that there exists $x$ with $(E+E^*)x=x$. Writing $x=Ex+(I-E)x $ we get
$$
E^*x=(I-E)x,
$$
so $EE^*x=0$. It follows that $E^*x=0$. The roles of $E$ and $E^*$ are symmetric, so we also get that $Ex=0$. Then $x=(E+E^*)x=0$. Thus $E+E^*-I$ has trivial kernel, and so it is invertible.
In the arbitrary case, we can still use the above idea if $E$ is bounded. Note that $E+E^*$ is selfadjoint, so all the elements in its spectrum are approximate eigenvalues. Suppose that
$$\tag1
(E+E^*)x_n-x_n\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}0.
$$
Since $(E+E^*)x_n-x_n=E^*x_n-(I-E)x_n$ and $E$ is bounded, we get $EE^*x_n\to0$. Then
$$
\|E^*x_n\|^2=\langle E^*x_n,E^*x_n\rangle=\langle EE^*x_n,x_n\rangle\to0,
$$
so $E^*x_n\to0$. As the roles of $E$ and $E^*$ are symmetric, we also get $Ex_n\to0$. But now $(1)$ becomes
$$\tag2
x_n\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}0.
$$
To have $1$ in the spectrum of $E+E^*$, we would need $(1)$ to hold for a sequence with $\|x_n\|=1$, and by $(2)$ this is impossible. So $E+E^*-I$ is invertible.

(old answer)
This is a weird formulation. If $E^2=E$, then its eigenvalues are necessarily $0$ and $1$. As it is normal, it is unitarily equivalent to a diagonal operator $D$, where the diagonal consists of $0$ and $1$ according to their multiplicites. The point is that $E$ is then selfadjoint. So you are looking at $(2E-I)^{-1}$.
If you square,
$$
(2E-I)^2=4E+I-4E=I.
$$
So $$(2E-I)^{-1}=2E-I.$$

Jewish Diaspora in China is a unique experience for world Jewry, as China is the only country in Far East that has had Jews living in its society for over 1,000 years. Documentary evidence shows that Jews started to live in China no later than the Tang Dynasty (618–907). The famous Kaifeng Jewish community, which was established in Kaifeng, the Chinese capital of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), is but a best-known example. However, the largest Jewish Diaspora in China appeared in modern times. In over 100 years, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, about 40,000 Jews came to China and lived in newly-established major port cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Harbin. Jewish communities composed of these Jews became an essential part of the economic and social life of those modern Chinese cities. What brought such a large number of Jews to China? Where did these people come from? How did they arrive? Were they all in China at the same time, and were there any differences among them? What happened to them after they arrived? Where are they now? The story of Jews in modern China is certainly a fascinating and up-lifting one. This course will examine these questions and more.

Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus (February 27, 272–May 22, 337), commonly known as Constantine I or Constantine the Great, was proclaimed Augustus by his troops on July 25, 306 and ruled an ever-growing portion of the Roman Empire until his death. Constantine is famed for his refounding of Byzantium as "New Rome", which was popularly known in his time as "Constantine's City"— (Constantinoupolis, Constantinople). Constantine is best remembered in modern times for the Edict of Milan in 313 and the Council of Nicaea in 325, which fully legalized and then legitimized Christianity in the Empire for the first time. These actions are considered major factors in that religion's spread, and his reputation as the "first Christian Emperor" has been promulgated by historians from Lactantius and Eusebius of Caesarea to the present day.
Constantine was born at Naissus, (today's Niš, Serbia, in Upper Moesia, to Constantius I Chlorus, a general of Greek descent, and Flavia Iulia Helena, an innkeeper's daughter who at the time was an adolescent of only sixteen years. His father left his mother around 292 to marry Flavia Maximiana Theodora, daughter or step-daughter of the Western Roman Emperor Maximian. Theodora would give birth to six half-siblings of Constantine, including Julius Constantius.
Young Constantine was well educated and served at the court of Diocletian in Nicomedia, after the appointment of his father as one of the two caesares(junior emperors) of the Tetrarchy in 293. In 305, the Augustus, Maximian, abdicated, and Constantius succeeded to the position. However, Constantius fell sick during an expedition against the Picts and Scots of Caledonia, and died on July 25, 306. Constantine managed to be at his deathbed in Eboracum (York) of Roman Britain, where the loyal general Crocus, of Alamannic descent, and the troops loyal to his father's memory proclaimed him an Augustus ("Emperor"). For the next eighteen years, he fought a series of battles and wars of consolidation that first obtained him co-rule with the Eastern Roman Emperor, and then finally leadership of a reunified Roman Empire.
Coins struck for emperors often reveal details of their personal iconography. During the early part of Constantine's rule, representations first of Mars and then (from 310) of Apollo as Sun god consistently appear on the reverse of the coinage. Mars had been associated with the Tetrarchy, and Constantine's use of this symbolism served to emphasize the legitimacy of his rule. After his breach with his father's old colleague Maximian in 309–310, Constantine began to claim legitimate descent from the 3rd century emperor Marcus Aurelius Claudius Gothicus, the hero of the Battle of Naissus (September, 268). The Augustan History of the 4th century reports Constantine's paternal grandmother Claudia to be a daughter of Crispus, Crispus being a reported brother of both Claudius II and Quintillus. Historians however suspect this account to be a genealogical fabrication to flatter Constantine.
Gothicus had claimed the divine protection of Apollo-Sol Invictus. In mid-310, two years before the victory at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine reportedly experienced the publicly announced vision in which Apollo-Sol Invictus appeared to him with omens of success. Thereafter the reverses of his coinage were dominated for several years by his "companion, the unconquered Sol" -- the inscriptions read SOLI INVICTO COMITI. The depiction represents Apollo with a solar halo, Helios-like, and the globe in his hands. In the 320s Constantine has a halo of his own. There are also coins depicting Apollo driving the chariot of the Sun on a shield Constantine is holding and another (313?) shows the Christian chi-rho on a helmet Constantine is wearing.
Constantine was also known for being ruthless with his political enemies, deposing the Eastern Roman Emperor Licinius, his brother-in-law, by strangulation in 325 even though he had publicly promised not to execute him upon Licinius' surrender in 324. In 326, Constantine executed first his eldest son Crispus and a few months later his own second wife Fausta. (Crispus was the only known son of Constantine by his first wife Minervina). There are rumours of step-mother and step-son having had an affair which caused Constantine's jealousy. The rumours were reported however by 5th century historian Zosimus and 12th century historian Joannes Zonaras. Their sources are not stated.
Family influence is thought to account for a personal adoption of Christianity: Helena is said to be "probably born a Christian" though virtually nothing is known of her background, save that her mother was the daughter of an innkeeper and her father a successful soldier, a career that excluded overt Christians. Helena became known later in life for numerous pilgrimages.
As the general custom, Constantine was not baptized until close to his death in 337, when his choice fell upon the Arian bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia, who happened, despite his being an overt ally of Arius, to still be the bishop of the region. Also, Eusebius was a close friend of Constantine's sister; she probably secured his recall from exile.
The great staring eyes in the iconography of Constantine, though not specifically Christian, show how official images were moving away from early imperial conventions of realistic portrayal towards schematic representations: the Emperor as Emperor, not merely as this particular individual Constantine, with his characteristic broad jaw and cleft chin. The large staring eyes will loom larger as the 4th century progresses: compare the early 5th century silver coinage of Theodosius I.
His victory in 312 over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge resulted in his becoming Western Augustus, or ruler of the entire Western Roman Empire. He gradually consolidated his military superiority over his rivals in the crumbling Tetrarchy.
In his later life he even turned to preaching, giving his own sermons in the palace before his court and invited crowds. His sermons preached harmony at first, but gradually turned more confrontational with the old pagan ways. The reason for this later "change of heart" remains conjectural. However, pagans still received appointments, even up to the end of his life. Exerting his absolute power, the army recited his composed Latin prayer in an attempt to convert them to Christianity, which failed. He began a large building program of churches in the Holy Land, which while greatly expanding the faith also allowed considerable increase in the power and wealth (and as such the corruption) of the clergy, as the clergy took over many aspects of government, including the courts and civil cases.
A punishment of death was mandated to anyone collecting taxes over the authorized amount.
A prisoner was no longer to be kept in total darkness, but must be given the outdoors and daylight.
A condemned man was allowed to die in the arena, but he could not be branded on his "heavenly beautifed" face, just on the feet.
Parents caught allowing (or soliciting?) their daughters to be seduced were to have molten lead poured down their throats.
Gladiatorial games were ordered to be eliminated in 325, although this had little real effect.
A slave master's rights were limited, but a slave could still be beaten to death.
Criminals were still to be crucified and put on display, to show there was Roman law and justice, until 337.
Easter could be publicly celebrated.
Although he earned his honorific of "The Great" from Christian historians long after he had died, he could have claimed the title on his military achievements alone. In addition to reuniting the empire under one emperor, Constantine won major victories over the Franks and Alamanni (306–308), the Franks again (313–314), the Visigoths in 332 and the Sarmatians in 334. In fact, by 336, Constantine had actually reoccupied most of the long-lost province of Dacia, which Aurelian had been forced to abandon in 271. At the time of his death, he was planning a great expedition to put an end to raids on the eastern provinces from the Persian Empire.
He was succeeded by his three sons by Fausta, Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans, who secured their hold on the empire with the murder of a number of relatives and supporters of Constantine. The last member of his dynasty was his nephew and son-in-law, Julian, who attempted to restore paganism.
1- In the English language, Constantine's official Imperial title is Imperator Caesar Flavius Constantine Augustus, the blessed, the lucky, the unconquerable. After 312, he added maximus ("the greatest"), and after 325 replaced invictus ("unconquerable") with victor, as invictus reminded of Sol Invictus, the Sun God.
Forvm Ancient Coins: Constantine the Great, early AD 307-22 May 337.
The Association of Ancient Historians has honored Ramsay MacMullen as being the finest ancient historian of the Roman Empire in our time. Some may find him difficult, he speaks the language of the professional scholar, but reading his works is certainly worth the time and effort.

Q: Fatal error: undefined function - why? I'm new to object oriented programming in PHP. I included a class and called it, then, inside this class's constructor I'm calling a private function called handleConnections. For some reason, it's giving me a fatal error (undefined function). Any idea why?
The class:
class Test
{
   function __construct()
   {
      handleConnections();
   }

   private function handleConnections()
   {
      //do stuff
   }
}

It seems flawless and yet I'm getting this error. If anyone has any clue what might be wrong, please tell me. Thanks!

A: Try with:
$this->handleConnections();

If you don't prefix your calls with $this, it's trying to call a global function. $this is mandatory in PHP, even when there can be no ambiguity.

A: Just expanding on FWH's Answer.
When you create a class and assign it to a variable, from outside the class you would call any function within that class using $variable->function();. But, because you are inside the class, you don't know what the class is being assigned to, so you have to use the $this-> keyword to access any class properties. General rule of thumb, if you would access it like $obj->var, access it with $this->.
class myClass
{
    function myFunc()
    {
        echo "Hi";
    }

    function myOtherFunc()
    {
        $this->myFunc();
    }

}

$obj = new myClass;

// You access myFunc() like this outside
$obj->myFunc();

// So Access it with $this-> on the inside
$obj->myOtherFunc();

// Both will echo "Hi"


Every so often my commitments pile up to the extent that something has to give. There is only me doing this blog and attending a Council meeting and then writing two, three or even four reports about that meeting can easily take ten or twelve hours. Is it worth it?
The web stats have always suggested that readers are mainly interested in scandal and dishonesty and Bexley Council is no longer a reliable source of either. For dishonesty and corruption one has to blog about the police but to do that justice would be a full time job.
My last email to the Chief Constable of Kent's Staff Officer, Miss Sonya Gransden cc.staff.officer@kent.pnn.police.uk, was sent exactly a month ago and a reply is still awaited. It is very difficult to get any response from a corrupt police force and I am inclined to think there isn't any other sort.
When family members have had a brother murdered on the orders of senior police officers in order to silence them it is very difficult to believe anything good of them at all and I make no effort do do so.
For someone who has never stepped outside the law even down to the level of parking, speeding or Bexley's latest bête noire, littering, I sometimes shock myself at the degree of hatred I have for the police. I suspect I would never help them in any circumstances and hope not to have to put that to the test.
I am not alone with that thought as the video below confirms. It relates how some police officers think they are above the law and think they can libel anyone they don't like with impunity.
Meanwhile BiB is going to have to take a back seat while I catch up with other things. Friends have dumped four computers on me this week which have all gone wrong together and there are the AWTA minutes to write and I cannot put them off much longer.
And there is an increasingly untidy house to sort out too.
Yes it is a blank white screen, but click the Play button anyway.

If you bought an iPhone 4 when it came out on June 24, 2010, you've had it for 21 months now. That's just over the US national average cell phone turnover rate of 20.5 months. But maybe you're not ready to upgrade. Maybe you realize that manufacturing is the biggest portion of a phone's environmental impact. Maybe you don't want to spend the money on a new phone. Maybe your phone does pretty much everything you need it to do—it's just not quite working as well as it did two years ago. Here are a couple of simple, inexpensive repairs you can perform at home to get your iPhone back up to snuff.
The iPhone 4 lithium-ion polymer battery is supposed to last 400 full charge cycles before it drops below 80% of full capacity. By the time you've had a phone 21 months, your battery is likely ready to be replaced. Apple says that the iPhone battery is not user-replaceable. It's true that there's no snap-off battery compartment, Apple doesn't sell batteries, and when the iPhone 4 came out it was difficult to find a screwdriver that could remove the five-point rounded "Pentalobe" screws.
But changing an iPhone battery requires removing just three screws and one connector. And you can buy both the battery and the screwdriver from us for far less than the $79 Apple charges. We have both a guide and a video (both below) to walk you through it. Our goal is to empower people to fix their own stuff.
So how do you do it? After removing the two Pentalobe screws on the bottom of the phone, you slide up and lift off the back panel. Then you remove one more screw and pry up the battery connector, pull the battery away from the light adhesive, and put in your new battery. Easy-peasy. We hear every day from people who successfully change their iPhone batteries without having ever opened up any electronics before.
If your photos have started looking strangely fuzzy, take a closer look at your phone's lens—it may be scratched. The plastic over the camera isn't made of the same scratch-resistant stuff as the rest of the iPhone, and it can develop scratches while hanging around in your pocket or purse. By switching out the back panel, you can give your camera a new, scratch-free view of the world. Changing the back panel is even easier than changing the battery: you remove the two screws on the bottom of your phone, push up the back panel a couple of millimeters, pull it off, and presto. When you put it back together, you can use a regular old glass panel, of course, but we recommend a transparent panel—that way you can show off your phone's beautiful insides!
Got something else you want to fix? We have many more guides for everything from toilets to the Nintendo Wii. Repairing is greener than replacing, so get out there and start fixing!
Not ready to upgrade from your iPhone 4? Here are a couple of simple, inexpensive repairs you can perform at home to get your phone back up to snuff.


I love everything about a New Year. A clean slate is presented to each and everyone of us, the air is rich with possibility, and our innate desire to create rises to the surface. I have fun setting intentions on New Years Eve with my husband Stephen and toasting to them with a glass of bubbly by the fire while visualizing them. We usually begin on a grand worldwide scale and eventually end up with very personal intentions. It is a powerful interactive exercise and extremely inspirational. It's an evening of prayers for our world, our loved ones, and our own lives.
New years Eve is also extra special to us because it is our Anniversary. Magic seems to hang in the air. Because we usually go out to a very special dinner and return home to jammies, champagne, intentions, and a fire. The following evening I like to make a romantic dinner at home. This year I came up with a very simple, decadent, light, and satisfying dish… Roasted Shrimp with Lemon Sauced Angel Hair & Pine Nuts.
It's a keeper (if I do say so myself) and it is quick and easy. Stephen kept talking about the lemon sauced pasta for days after and it was on this night that I shared a rather large personal intention I had for myself. It was quite exciting so I would like to dare you to do the same. What is something so big you want for yourself that it might make you a little uncomfortable to share or bring in a little fear? Does it push you out of your comfort zone? If the answer to one or both of these questions is yes, I am pretty sure it is one intention you are supposed to set into motion.
What are some of your New Years traditions? Would you like to share an intention of yours for the New Year? We would love to hear.
This decadent guilt free pasta dish is perfect for the New Year when we want to lighten up after the festive holiday season.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the shrimp on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch or two of red pepper flakes. Toss well, spread the shrimp in one layer and roast for 6 to 8 minutes, just until they're pink and cooked through.
Meanwhile, drizzle some olive oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add the angel hair and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Quickly toss the angel hair with the melted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste and about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Transfer portions to shallow pasta bowls and arrange the shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley, toasted pine nuts, parmesan and serve with a lemon wedge and lots of love.
"Here is your morning latte", I said handing the steaming cup of coffee and frothy almond milk to our adult daughter Cari who returned home yesterday for some care after nasal surgery. This is the gentle kind of caregiving, the short term, non-tragic type that makes the caregiver feel good.
Just in time! After all, November is National Family Caregivers month. This is the month to honor all families who have been, continue to be, or will be suddenly brought into the role of caregiving that is much more long term, possibly unplanned, unexpected, and could be infused with life changing circumstances.
Some caregivers may even feel there is no end in sight because caregiving on top of your normal life duties can be extremely tough and taxing. It can be thoroughly exhausting–emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, and even spiritually.
And the holidays, which are extremely stressful for caregivers, are upon us.
In addition, this is the busiest time for first responders as accidents, heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments spike during the holidays. This holiday brew…. you guessed it…. creates many sudden caregivers. If this has happened to you or someone you love, I have three very important tips right now that will help you make it through the end of the year.
#1 Love Yourself First. As a former Flight Service Manager on a major airline, we were instructed to put on our oxygen masks FIRST or we would not have been able to provide any assistance to anyone else whatsoever. That one truth is what I want to stress to caregivers above all: it isn't easy at times, but you must give yourself permission to breathe and also maintain that boundary!
#2 Understand it is more than okay to feel whatever it is that you are feeling. Yes, really, (gasp!), it is…and it's also really important to actually voice your feelings so you can work through them.
#3. Take some spiritual time daily. However you commune with that something greater– whether it is mediation, breathing, walking out in nature, praying, meditating, visualizing, or asking for strength, help and guidance~take a few minutes or more each day to call in some peace.
The holidays are one of the busiest–and sometimes most stressful– times of the year for caregivers. All the usual pressures and demands on our time and energy often feel like they go into hyper drive between Halloween and New Year's Day.
The holidays are also the busiest months for first responders as heart attacks, strokes, and accidents spike creating many Sudden Caregivers. *It was actually on Halloween that I noticed Stephens grey skin tone. Three nights later on November 3, 2011 his heart stopped four times.
Besides the obvious aspects of the added family responsibilities and expectations that the Holidays bring, over consumption of calories and imbibing too much alcohol are certainly culprits for health hazards and stress, as are rushed travel, house guests, triggered memories, and more.
The more we are aware of what is contributing to this seasonal stress, the more we can make a difference by taking extra good care of ourselves and the ones we love so much.
Go to bed early and/or sleep in. Did I mention sleep? Lots of it.
Scale back extravagant gatherings. Have everyone lend a hand and a dish. Or ask another family member to host the traditional holiday meal(s). In other words, recognize and establish your own boundaries and ask for help!
Prepare and eat healthy, delicious foods.
Cook with your friends and family.
Get out and move! Go on walking adventures. Fill your lungs with fresh air.
Better yet, make and savor warm vanilla milk.
Give yourself and your body a real gift this season and make a genuine effort to take care of yourself…which will also be the best gift you can give your loved ones.
Remember that small changes work miracles!
God Bless you and your loved ones this holiday season.

Grant Writing Workshop Hosted by Penn State
HomeGrant Writing Workshop Hosted by Penn State
By: Janet Fiskio (Associate Professor, Environmental Studies and Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College)
This past November 30-December 1, the Rock Ethics Institute at the Pennsylvania State University hosted a grant writing conference for Africatown. Members of the MCTS and Mobile County school board, the MCTSAA, and faculty and students from Penn State, Michigan State University, and Oberlin College attended. The Rock Ethics Institute supports engaged research to address society's ethical challenges, including work on environmental and restorative justice. Ted Toadvine, the director of the institute, has visited Africatown twice as a co-leader for Oberlin College trips. We discussed the current challenges facing the MCTS and also its strengths, such as its dedicated faculty and administration, and explored opportunities for bringing useful resources to support the school's programs. Kyle Powys Whyte, Timnick Chair in the Humanities and Associate Professor of Philosophy & Community Sustainability at Michigan State University, offered expert guidance on applying for grants from private and public institutions. Kyle is a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and participates in innovative collaborations between universities and local communities, with a particular focus on climate change, environmental justice, and food sovereignty. During this workshop we identified potential grants and brainstormed possibilities for future collaborations, including partnerships between Africatown, HBCUs, and tribal colleges and communities. The grant writing team will continue to pursue the plans discussed at the workshop and is currently developing grant proposals to support the future of Africatown and the MCTS.


As the waters in Houston and surrounding areas begin to recede in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, there's no doubt looters are getting ready to take advantage of empty homes. Some looting has already started.
But one Texas Sheriff has a stern warning for those who seek to prey on victims: You do so at the risk of your life.
"We've heard of looting around the greater Houston area, specifically Harris County. But as far as Fort Bend County, we haven't," Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told Fox News Saturday.
"I made a comment the other day that we support the Second Amendment here in Fort Bend County and there are many of us that are armed. I would would caution those that want to come and prey on our people here in Fort Bend County that are suffering so much right now, you may want to stay out of Fort Bend County because you could leave this county in a bag," he continued.
Nehls's stance is especially refreshing considering firearms belonging to citizens were confiscated during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, leaving victims defenseless as lawlessness quickly took over the city.
