It is an unabashedly unapologetic, ridiculously fun, high-octane, automotive extravaganza that, from the get-go, fires on all cylinders and never really slows down long enough for you to catch your breath. I mean, usually, by the time a film franchise somehow manages to crawl its way to an eighth installment, no one's having a good time. Storylines feel tired, the cast – if any of them are still around by that point – is phoning it in and audiences are presented with a narratively underwhelming cash grab (not to mention a serious case of franchise fatigue).
But not The Fate of the Furious.
No, instead of resting on its considerable laurels, it ups the ante on everything that came before in its cinematic universe, ratcheting up the spectacle and the high-wattage casting to such an extent that you wonder how they will possibly top themselves for the inevitable Fast 9. But I'm getting ahead of myself…
This latest chapter in the life of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) finds the burly gearhead trying to enjoy some R&R in Cuba with new wife Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). Instead, he's roped into working for a vindictive but brilliant – and perpetually pissed off – cyber-villain named Cipher (Charlize Theron), who wants Dom to pay for all his past sins: namely, screwing up several of her previous operations, not the least of which was her attempt to snag Furious 7's "God's Eye" program.
With Dom made a renegade turncoat and all the world's technology at risk as a result, Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) enlists the only duo skilled enough to stop him: Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and his arch-nemesis Deckard (Jason Statham). Together, they and Dom's rag-tag team of betrayed buddies (Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Nathalie Emmanuel) set out to thwart Cipher, figure out why Dom switched teams and, you know, save the entire world from annihilation. No biggie.
Cue: more astoundingly amazing car chases (people, at one point there's A WHOLE ARMADA OF SELF-DRIVING ZOMBIE CARS SPEEDING THROUGH MANHATTAN!) and fabulously choreographed fight sequences (Hobbs and Deckard pummeling and parkouring their way out of prison is a standout) than you can throw a lug wrench at. It's obvious the studio took a big chunk of Furious 7's $1.5 billion (!) worldwide gross and reinvested it into this sequel.
Lest you think F8 is all style over substance, though, fear not: the script is clever, with enough twists and surprise cameos to keep fans giggling with glee in their seats. And speaking of giggling, the filmmakers wisely opt to keep the proceedings light despite the mass destruction. It's almost like a wink at the audience that says, "Yeah, we know this is all completely outrageous, so we're really going to have fun with it."
Though Diesel and Rodriguez remain the least interesting actors onscreen – their characters' "romance" is still just as wooden and unconvincing as it's always been – Johnson and Statham are great, and Theron is a magnificent villain (one of the best the series has had). Cipher never cracks or backs down or shows her hand. There's no attempt to humanize her or have the audience sympathize with her in any way, which was fantastic.
And, really, so is the entire movie. Like its most recent predecessor, F8 is a Grade-A popcorn movie designed to leave audiences slack-jawed with amazement and delight. Check your brain at the door, buckle up and hang on for its wild, WILD ride.

Ivan Sergeyevich Gorbachyov (; 29 October 1902  25 July 1941) was a Red Army major general.

Born in a poor peasant family, Gorbachyov joined the Red Army after the end of the Russian Civil War. He became an officer in the NKVD Border Troops and commanded a border detachment in 1941. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Gorbachyov became the commander of the newly formed 250th Rifle Division, which included many personnel of the Border Troops. Gorbachyov led the division during the Battle of Smolensk and died of wounds received in a counterattack.

Early life
Gorbachyov was born in Strechanovo, Tyuninsky volost, Roslavlsky Uyezd, Smolensk Governorate, to an impoverished peasant family. He worked as a farm labourer. His family moved to Kamensk in Ukraine after the 1905 Revolution for economic reasons and Gorbachyov graduated from a gymnasium school there. His father became a factory worker in Kamensk, joining the Bolsheviks and participating in the Russian Revolution. Gorbachyov worked as a teacher in rural schools in the villages of Shepetovo and Kharinovo in Oryol Governorate from January 1921, and in October 1922 became a clerk in the military department of the Tyunininsky volost executive committee.

Interwar
Gorbachyov joined the Red Army on 30 December 1923, becoming a Red Army man and serving as a squad leader in the 80th Rifle Regiment of the 27th Rifle Division. He was sent to study at the 26th Ivanovo-Voznesensk Infantry School in September 1924, where he was starshina of his company. Upon graduation two years later, Gorbachyov was appointed assistant chief of a border outpost of the 37th Batumi Border Detachment of the OGPU Border Troops. From March 1927 he served with the 41st Nakhchivan Border Detachment as an assistant commissioner, then as assistant commandant for secret operations units in February 1931, and in February 1932 became commander of a border sector. During this period, Gorbachyov participated in the suppression of anti-Soviet bandits in Shakhtakhty and Karabaglyar raions of Nakhichevan between January and March 1930.

In June 1934, Gorbachyov became a student at the Frunze Military Academy, from which he graduated in September 1937. In October 1937, he became chief of staff of the 2nd Railroad Brigade NKVD in the Transbaikal Military District at Chita, serving as acting commander of the brigade between 1 January and 21 July 1938. Receiving a promotion to major on 27 September of that year, he became commander of the 54th Border Detachment in Nerchinskozavodsk on 20 October 1938. On 14 February 1941, Gorbachyov was awarded the Order of the Red Star on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Border Troops. The commander of NKVD forces in the Transbaikal district assessed him as a "mature and serious commander" who was firm, decisive, and disciplined.

World War II
After Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began on 22 June 1941, several new rifle divisions were formed under the command of officers from the NKVD Border Troops. Gorbachyov was among those officers and on 27 June was appointed commander of the 250th Rifle Division, which began formation in Vladimir soon after. The officers were drawn from the NKVD Border Troops, while the enlisted men were called-up reservists. The 250th was relocated to the Rzhev area on 15 July, the same day that Gorbachyov was promoted to major general. From there the division marched through Olenino to positions south of Belyi. The division was assigned to the 30th Army and entered the Battle of Smolensk on 22 July, counterattacking towards Dukhovshchina to stop the German advance. Two days later, Gorbachyov and the division commissar visited elements of the 250th at Demyakhi. As Gorbachyov left the staff car that they arrived in at the entrance to the village and went to personally inspect the defenses, he was mortally wounded by shrapnel from a German artillery shell. Gorbachyov died of his wounds in a field hospital on the next day, and was buried in Olenino.

Personal life
Gorbachyov married and had a daughter, Galina, and two sons, Pyotr and Vladimir.

Business Updates | Indonesia and the Trans-Pacific Partnership – Worth the Membership?
As a sign of furthering global integration, President Joko Widodo has expressed his intentions for Indonesia to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) during a recent meeting with US President Barack Obama on 26th October 2015. Following on from this announcement, the administration has faced a backlash of criticism for its plans to join the 12-member nation pact – encompassing Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam – while many question Indonesia's actual readiness to become a future member of a partnership network that would encompass 40% of the global economy and bring about greater competition for local businesses. The Trans-Pacific Partnership boasts strong commercial attractiveness with a combined GDP value of $27.8 trillion USD as well as providing better trade access to developed economies such as the United States and Japan which has been a long-awaited request from local companies. Regardless, mounting reports of secrecy and backdoor negotiations related to the Trans-Pacific Partnership demonstrates an underlying necessity for the Joko Widodo administration to thoroughly review the 6,000-page, US-led free trade agreement (FTA) through the lens of Indonesia's current and anticipated future economic standing.
Enrolment in the Trans-Pacific Partnership is deemed a mandatory step by Minister of Trade, Mr Thomas Trikasih Lembong, as a means of keeping pace with regional neighbours. In doing so, Indonesia would be required to uphold a willingness to not impose protectionist policies – as done with the electronics local content requirement (See Rising Local Content Requirements for 4G Smartphones in Indonesia) – while securing a sound level of its industries' competitiveness before proceeding with the partnership. Uncertainty from local companies ahead of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2016 (See Indonesia and the ASEAN Economic Community – Ready for Regional Integration?) in addition to incomplete regulatory fulfilment to support the full integration of the AEC portends imposing challenges for local players should the government carry onwards with plans to obtain Trans-Pacific Partnership membership. Indonesia holds many opportunities to broaden its export destinations through the Trans-Pacific Partnership with the removal of trade barriers, however, industry experts across the board question whether the country would benefit from more expansive trade channels given its continued difficulties in diversifying its export base beyond its traditional mainstay of commodities.
Assessing the Trans-Pacific Partnership's impact on Indonesia presents the challenge of projecting pros and cons that vary on a sector by sector basis. As an industry with a longstanding presence within Indonesia's economy, textiles and textile products (TPT) are set to benefit from a potential membership within the Trans-Pacific Partnership. As the fourth-largest contributor to GDP – encompassing 9% of the GDP in 2013 – Indonesia's investment within its TPT industry has led to the development of a mature upstream and downstream TPT sector evident in the 2,980 garment factories spread throughout the archipelago (See Indonesia's Textile and Clothing Industry). Furthermore, employing nearly 2.9 million workers in 2012 (Central Statistics Agency) – totalling 21.7% of the non-oil and gas manufacturing industries workforce – the TPT sector is both a major employer as well as a principal net exporter. To stay afloat amidst stronger competition, Indonesia's robust TPT industry would open itself up to new opportunities particularly in finding a specialised area of focus in the global textile supply chain should it decide to join the lucrative organisational body. Notably, the Indonesian Textile Association and the Indonesian Footwear Association have requested the government to become a Trans-Pacific Partnership member to improve the competitiveness of local textile goods relative to regional neighbour, Vietnam.
Vietnam's active status in the Trans-Pacific Partnership should stand as caution for Indonesia's TPT industry given the advantages Vietnam has in terms of TPT exports. Currently, the United States is cited as both ASEAN members' largest export market with each respective nation-state exporting a total of $5 billion USD (Indonesia) and $8 billion USD (Vietnam) in knit and woven apparel exports to the US in 2013. Vietnam has benefitted from lower trade tariffs through the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement since 2006 while Indonesian businesses wait for a prospective FTA with the United States. As Indonesia encounters more aggressive competition from its ASEAN partner in addition to facing domestic issues such as workers union protests (See Labour Pains in Indonesia), annual wage increases (See Indonesia Moves to Address Minimum Wage Woes), and the fluctuating value of the rupiah (See The Present Plight of the Indonesian Rupiah), the country's TPT industry is arguably losing some of its edge as a major TPT manufacturing base.
Having become the 7th largest global garment exporter in 2013, Vietnam has surpassed Indonesia which stood in the 14th position in the same category after experiencing a 2.4% decline in global garment trade (United Nations). Vietnam's membership in the newly-formed Trans-Pacific Partnership will only see it encounter additional benefits, particularly a 50% increase in global apparel and footwear exports for the next 10 years as well as a trade tariff reduction to nearly zero percent with the US for exported garments and shoes. Such implications stand as a reminder of what Indonesia can potentially lose out to should it decide to opt out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
For Indonesia, the Trans-Pacific Partnership would boast added benefits for the local fisheries industry given the country's standing as the largest producer of fishery products in the ASEAN (See Indonesia's Aquaculture & Fisheries Sector). As an archipelago, Indonesia has yet to take advantage of the pronounced opportunities in relation to its fisheries industry despite the sector having the economic potential to contribute 3 trillion IDR annually. Indonesia's gross domestic product of the fisheries industry grew 8.64% in the first quarter of 2015 and is the second-largest sector in the agriculture category (Central Statistics Agency).
Similar to the TPT industry, local fisheries businesses play a significant role in national employment as well as spearheading economic growth. Under the Joko Widodo administration, Indonesia has proceeded in realising measures to further strengthen the country's maritime and fisheries industries, however, with many Indonesian fishermen lacking proper equipment for high-volume live catches coupled with inadequate maritime infrastructure, there remains doubt whether Indonesia would have sufficient time to benefit from the wider channels of trade partners within the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact (See Indonesia's Maritime Ambitions Require Massive Upgrade of Seaports).
Under the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Indonesia would be better positioned to maintain its lead as the foremost player in fisheries within the ASEAN despite having to face Vietnam as a direct competitor. Indonesia maintains its competitive edge having produced 10.83 million tonnes of live catch in 2010 whilst Vietnam produced 5.2 million tonnes of fisheries in the same year (Invest in ASEAN) and has since continued to increase this total. The US is leading Vietnam's incremental rise in fisheries exports given that it is a major importer of its tuna and shrimp products thus serving to narrow the annual production gap with Indonesia.
Should Indonesia progress with efforts to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it has the viable potential to benefit from its main export destinations for fisheries given that Japan, US, Singapore, and Vietnam are Trans-Pacific Partnership members. It is worth noting that since 29th July 2015, Indonesian businesses are subject to a zero percent tariff for 34 fisheries products delivered to the US under the US' Generalised System of Preference (GSP) enabling local businesses to take advantage of the opportunity to increase the volume of exports in advanced economies.
The latest accomplishment indicates steps taken by the government to support the fisheries industry without the provision of an FTA. Due to the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries' target of $5 billion USD in exports in 2015, the government has had to turn to other markets including the EU – specifically France – in a bid to achieve its target while building upon its trade network. In 2013, fishery exports to France totalled more than $43 million USD – a 33.5% increase from 2012. Furthermore, the Joko Widodo administration has restarted discussions in a bid to finalise the Indonesia-EU Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement thereby presenting the archipelagic state a solid platform to explore beyond its current network of trade partners.
As with most free trade agreements, there are setbacks to be faced, in which the foremost implications under the Trans-Pacific Partnership is in regards to access for affordable drugs and medicine. The Trans-Pacific Partnership clause on pharmaceuticals stipulates patent rights of five to eight years for biologics which are cutting-edge drugs that use living cells to treat life-threatening ailments. Criticism of the clause points to the possibility of causing a rise in generic drug prices and creating an inevitable barricade to vital healthcare access, especially for the lower income strata.
The extended duration required to produce generic versions of biologic drugs would prove costly when taking into consideration the reality that generic medicine in Indonesia costs 50% less than its brand-name counterparts (World Health Organization). As such, membership to the Trans-Pacific Partnership would serve as a contradictory move for the Joko Widodo government given the purpose of the country's national healthcare system ('JKN'). In a report by The Guardian, Mr Irfan Humaidi from the National Social Security Agency underlined that there are 133.4 million Indonesians currently registered under the healthcare scheme. With less than half of the 250 million population left to cover, Indonesia under the Trans-Pacific Partnership would be hindering its own strategy to fully implement the country's ambitious healthcare plans (See Indonesia's Healthcare Sector).
To TPP or not to TPP?
Indonesia's interest to partake in the Trans-Pacific Partnership is in keeping with the current government's focus on developing an export-oriented economy. With this said, Indonesia should remain cautious in the steps it takes before making any final decision with regards to membership, and take advantage of the fact that it is not yet formally obligated to join a trade agreement that in its current state remains highly-controversial. The aforementioned challenges related to the pharmaceutical industry is by no means the only red flags associated with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and exposes deep-rooted problems with how the Trans-Pacific Partnership has typically been negotiated on a bilateral basis cloaked in secrecy and characterised by horse-trading.
Indonesia's recent experience in partaking in a globally-oriented trade market should serve as a reminder of the need to carefully evaluate the positive and negative implications of signing on to a new FTA. The country needs only to look back at the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement – in which the local market was flooded by cheap Chinese goods – to understand the importance of thoroughly examining where it stands to gain and lose from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Unlike its ASEAN counterparts, Indonesia has a strong domestic market that has long-served as the country's economic engine; this means that joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership is less of an immediate issue for Indonesia as compared to more export-oriented economies such as Vietnam and Singapore. Time is Indonesia's friend at this current stage of evaluating the Trans-Pacific Partnership and as such the government should not rush into making any concrete decisions. The country would not be the only nation to decide upon a wait-and-see strategy; regional neighbours such as Thailand as well as Asian powerhouses South Korea and India have also expressed interest while refraining from signing on as official members.

For well over three decades AllTech has lead the way in providing natural and sustainable solutions, technical information and support to all sectors of the global animal nutrition industry. While you may never have heard of them, they're the world's largest producer of organic trace minerals and their products form the key ingredients in some of the most effective (and most expensive) natural based equine nutrition products money can buy.
They use their scientific innovation to develop natural and sustainable solutions to advance the health and performance of humans, plants and animals through nutrition. At the very fore-front of animal nutrition research they aim to raise aware of livestock and equine health issues and seek to provide solutions to these issues through nutrition aiming not only to improve the health and performance of our horses but to reduce use of synthetic products, drugs and chemicals in our animals.
Their business goal says it all… helping farmers feed the world, raise healthy animals and protect the environment… naturally!
Here at IH we believe feeding horses naturally doesn't mean a compromise in quality or innovation; it means taking the best bits you might find in those pretty packaged feed bags and supplement tubs and throwing out the unnecessary fillers, additives and preservatives and providing our horses the most natural options to allow them to thrive.
It is to this end that we supply AllTech products pure and unadulterated. Allowing you to give your horse only what he needs be healthy, no elaborate packaging, pretty colours, and certainly no fancy price tags, just the essentials.
Bio-Mos is a key ingredient in many of the most expensive probiotic supplements, healthy digestion aids and general digestive enhancer. It is derived from a specific strain of yeast and helps promote Gastrointestinal (GI) health and integrity. It is not a vitamin or mineral supplement; the sole job of Bio-Mos is to 'feed the good bacteria in the GI tract' and thus it plays a critical role in nutrition by helping to create the optimum environment for good bacteria in the gut to thrive. Not only is a healthy gut more resilient to attack but it also offers great absorption of key nutrients.
In addition Bio-Mos has been developed to selectively bind to bad bacteria (eg salmonella and e coli), and remove them from the gastrointestinal tract through the natural processes of excretion. Several studies indicate feeding Bio-Moss to pregnant mares increases the immunity in new born foals.
Feeds healthy gut bacteria thus improving nutrient absorption.
Hang around the natural horse world and sooner or later you'll come across the word, mycotoxins. But how many of us realise the dangers that little word holds?
Horses and ponies can be exposed to mycotoxins in pasture, as well as through forage, bedding and hard feed. Any horse no matter how well managed may be exposure to mycotoxins at one time or another, whether through toxins from fungi that live on actively growing grass of spring and summer, or those that thrive on preserved forages such as hay or haylage we feed in the autumn and winter months.
While legislation protects us humans by limiting the amount of mycotoxins allowed into the human food chain, shockingly there is currently no enforcement of mycotoxin limits in any form of animal feed ANYWHERE.
The inconvenient truth is that while we do all we can to provide the very best feed and forage for our horses sooner or later they will be exposed to these natural toxins. It is to for that end that Mycosorb has been developed. Mycosorb is a cracked cell, modified yeast culture whose sole purpose is to absorb and bind mycotoxins ingested by your horse from the environment and feed and to safely transport them out the body via excretion. It will not bond to healthy bacteria, or effect the abortion of vitamins and minerals its only purpose is trap mycotoxins and prevent them from being absorbed by your horse's gastrointestinal tract.
F ound in may of the very best probiotics Yea-Sacc is a yeast culture based on saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026. Unlike many commercial products that use bakers or brewers yeast which are essentially inactive Yea-Sacc uses a living yeast culture. Research has shown that Yea-Sacc 1026 assists with the healthy natural fermentation of feed, enabling more efficient use of the nutrients in the diet and increasing fibre and protein digestion.
Yea-Sacc has proven to be particularly helpful to those horses suffering from digestive upset (either through change of feed, situation or stress), prone to colic and tying up, horses with insulin resistance or low grade laminitis, more senior equines, or in less than ideal condition.

Barack Obama has been busy commuting sentences, mostly for nonviolent drug offenders, with more than 1,100 prisoners receiving clemency during his presidency. That's still a pretty small number given that during the 1980s and 1990s "hundreds of thousands of people were handed decades-long or even life sentences behind bars for nonviolent drug offenses," according to a recent story in The Guardian.
But, as befitting his entire presidency, Obama, even with just a week remaining in office, is being highly cautious about anything too controversial and seems unwilling to consider one case that calls out for action: Leonard Peltier, the Native American activist who has been imprisoned for more than 40 years. As I'll discuss below, even the former U.S. Attorney whose office prosecuted Peltier has asked Obama to grant him clemency.
Peltier was convicted in 1975 for the murder of two FBI agents, Jack Coler and Ronald Williams, on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota during a confrontation between the Bureau and the American Indian Movement. Here's an excerpt from a letter to Obama from Martin Garbus, the legendary lawyer representing Peltier, seeking clemency:
Mr. Peltier's case is widely viewed throughout Indian Country and beyond as emblematic of the worldview and prejudices of the 1960s and 1970s against Native Americans. Tensions were high between Native communities and law enforcement agencies, and the unfortunate apathy of law enforcement (and others) for the protection of the rights of Native Americans was well documented at the time by the United States Civil Rights Commission…
Mr. Peltier's conviction must accordingly be evaluated in the context of the politically charged, violent and polarizing environment of the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975, where the incident took place. A group that called itself the "GOONS" (the Guardians Of the Oglala Lakota Nation) — funded in part by a federal grant for a "tribal ranger" squad – were operating under the supervision of the then corrupt tribal government, had killed more than 50 members of the Oglala Lakota tribe, and had assaulted hundreds others. During this time period, Pine Ridge Reservation was the murder capital of the nation.
Mr. Peltier and others were summoned to the Reservation to help protect traditional tribal members who opposed the corrupt and violent tribal government. On June 26, 1975, two young Special Agents were dispatched alone–without backup–onto private property on the Reservation to make an arrest. As the jury that acquitted Mr. Peltier's codefendants necessarily found, the ensuing shootout was a direct result of the then-rampant violence against traditional Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Peltier maintains his innocence and for years it's been evident that his trial was a fraud. This excellent Daily News story details how James Reynolds, the former U.S. Attorney, wrote the White House and the Department of Justice last month to support a compassionate release. "I think it's time," Reynolds was quoted as saying. "Forty years is enough."
What's most astonishing, though, is that Reynolds said he was not convinced of Peltier's guilt. "The hardest thing is to try and go back and reconstruct history," he told the News. "He may not have [been guilty]. When you stand at the bottom and you look at the naked underbelly of our system, it has got flaws. It's still the best one we've got, but at certain points there has to be a call for clemency and that's where we are."
Peltier has been in prison for 41 years, six in solitary confinement, and has "a host of medical issues, including suffering from a stroke, diabetes, undergoing multiple jaw surgeries and, now, an abdominal aortic aneurysm," his daughter wrote last year.
Peltier's supporters had believed that Bill Clinton would grant him clemency during his last days in office in 2001, but he of course was busy pardoning Marc Rich, the notorious sanctions buster whose ex-wife made major donations to the Democratic Party and who had a slew of well-connected supporters pushing for his release.
Let's hope Obama has more courage and character, because with Trump about to take office this is Peltier's last shot. Unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on Obama but I hope to be proven wrong.

Q: Using XPATH to find elements with a certain attribute I have the following XML document. I want to build a query in XPath to find all the Ship elements for the Ships that were launched before 1917
 <Ships>
    <Class name="Kongo">
    <Ship name="h" launched="1915"/>
    <Ship name="h1" launched="1920"/>
    </Class>

    <Class name="Kongo2">
    <Ship name="h2" launched="1941"/>
    <Ship name="h3" launched="1941"/>
    </Class>
    <Class name="Kongo2">
    <Ship name="h4" launched="1917"/>
    <Ship name="h5" launched="1917"/>
    </Class>

    </Ships>

I came up with the following Xpath : if(/Ships/Class/Ship/number(@launched) < 1917) then Ships/Class/Ship else () But this lists down all the Ship elements even though the if check is there. What could be wrong with this?

A: You can use a predicate like this (only XPath-1.0 required):
/Ships/Class/Ship[1917 > @launched]

The predicate expression is inverted to avoid the less than char < which is problematic in some contexts. But the semantic stays the same as in @launched < 1917.

That's what Mike Mearls says, anyway! He's referring to the focused design sensibility often present in games like The Roach, and puts us in good company – with Dogs in the Vineyard, InSpectres, and Agon. Thanks, Mike!

Sigismund/Underwood/Kemmer Camp
Underwood/Kemmer Cottage: NVIC: 50-1132, ISRO Archives.
lizabeth Kemmer, affectionately known as "E.K.", died July 6, 1987 at the age of 94. E.K. had first come to Isle Royale in 1928 to visit her aunt Elizabeth Underwood. Miss Kemmer, a St. Paul native, taught school there for twenty years. Miss Kemmer fell in love with the Island. She decided to purchase the cottage, along with Miss Underwood, that Miss Underwood had been renting a number of years. Records suggest that the cottage was built between 1919 and 1921 by Gustav Sigismund, who squatted previously on Tallman Island as late as 1915. E.K. mentions in Island Folk that the franklin stove in her cottage had provided warmth for sixty years. Since Island Folk was written in 1979, that would date the cottage to 1919. In another reference, a 1937 letter from NPS land purchaser E.G. Willemin to NPS Assistant Director G.A. Moskey states that the two women had the two buildings and their outbuildings ..."in their open and peaceable possession for over 15 years last past." This would date the buildings to 1921.
An option to sell the property for $1.00 and a life-lease was accepted by the Isle Royale National Park Commission of Michigan on July 31, 1937. It is ironic that the two women didn't have clear title to the land for which they wanted the lease. Miss Underwood owned a two acre, unimproved parcel, located two miles away in Tobin Harbor. The property their improvements were on had been "purchased" from a squatter, from whom they'd rented. Because he was a squatter, they did not have a good deed. The two different parcels proved confusing to the land acquisition agent. When finally straightened out, the government provided a life-lease on the smaller, 1 acre, improved parcel in exchange for the sale of the unimproved, 2 acre, parcel. The property description of their lease is the "easterly 132 feet of the south 462 feet of Lot 1, Section 34, T67N, R33W; containing 1 acre more or less."
A letter to Secretary Harry F. Harper, Isle Royale National Park Commission of Michigan from Land Purchaser Willemin details how bewildering the government negotiations probably were to the two women.
Underwood died in 1942 but this information was not known by the park service until 1965. Kemmer continued to come to the island until 1982. In 1952, Kemmer paid to have new dock built by the park service. Several letters between E.K. and the Superintendent deal with beavers or her dock. Eventually her dock was replaced, although it's not recorded whether the park replaced it or if Art Mattson or someone else built it.
Two other letters written between Superintendent Beattie and E.K. in November of 1972 and January of 1973 indicated that her cottage and guest house had been broken into in September of 1972. She replied that her insurance covered no vandalism. Inez Mattson would clean the mess up for her. She would have to find someone to fix her damaged doors.
Other correspondence in the files indicated that a chimney fire had caused considerable smoke damage in the 1950's. Art Mattson repaired her home after that fire.
Her house was enlarged, almost doubled, in the early 1960's by Art Mattson.
Miss Kemmer last visited Isle Royale in 1982. While there, she became ill and was flown into Houghton. Dr. Gale gave her assistance. Due to the island's remote location, Kemmer never returned after this emergency. In the following years, acquaintances of hers, Chuck and Betsy Boyle, of Marinette, WI, stayed at her home. Miss Kemmer had no children. It is understood that Boyles purchased her household goods for $1,000. Personal effects such as photograph albums, etc. were left to Grant Merritt. At the time of her death, Superintendent Tom Hobbs notified the Boyles that they could stay at the Kemmer cottage through the summer of 1987, but then they would have to remove the household goods. They would not be allowed to occupy the home in 1988.
E.K.'s home and outbuildings are a part of the resort hey-day on Isle Royale which occurred between the turn-of-the-century and the mid-1930's. E.K. is remembered as a warm, loving person.
The Kemmer Camp has six surviving structures: these include a residence, guesthouse, storehouse, boathouse, privy, dock, concrete steps, and a peeled pole rail. The buildings are currently used as park housing, and the site has been upgraded with solar power, a water pump, and a modern, floating dock. The structures retain high integrity in all areas, although the storehouse is in fair condition and has medium integrity of material due to deterioration.

Year 10 Visual Arts Exhibition.
This project was completed by Mrs Hani's, Art II, Year 10, students and was focused around the concept of war and the devastation it leaves behind. "Each student took photographs of Kuwait, of old war torn buildings, to create artworks that visually depicted an old essence of place. Students explored the concept of "Rip & Reconstruct" through their art making and application of textural materials. As Kuwait is being reconstructed in some areas, my students also ripped their photographs and reconstructed them to create artworks." – explain visual arts teacher Angie Hani.
Exhibition runs till next week.
WOW! Thank you ART KUWAIT for promoting Art Education in Kuwait. It is so wonderful to see young artists celebrated and exposed. The works are very well produced and the meaning is strong and cultural. I look forward to your posts daily. COngratulations also goes to AIS Kuwait and Mrs Hani for producing the next generation of Artists in Kuwait.

Home internet Google Books and the Book Industry
Google Books and the Book Industry
dgw 2011-09-14 - 22:18 2015-10-31 internet, musings, opinion, school, technology
This post was published 8 years 4 months 5 days ago. A number of changes have been made to the site since then, so please contact me if anything is broken or seems wrong.
I wrote this for my Journalism class at college, but figured I might as well share it here too.
The New York Times ran a story Monday about a new lawsuit filed against HathiTrust, a partnership of universities and research libraries that maintains a digital book collection on its website.
Plaintiffs in the suit include three major authors' groups: the Authors Guild, the Australian Society of Authors, and the Québec Union of Writers. Eight individual authors are also party to the filing, among them Pat Cummings, Roxana Robinson, and T.J. Stiles.
The objections raised in the suit center around the HathiTrust collection itself. "[S]even million copyright-protected books" (according to Paul Aiken, executive director of the Authors Guild, as quoted by the NYT) are available without any consent from the authors. The Authors Guild and its fellow plaintiffs say that the collection violates copyright law.
HathiTrust's collection consists of books digitized by Google, Inc. as part of the Google Books project, which has been steadily scanning books from participating university libraries across the United States.
The Google Books project has been the subject of many lawsuits over the years since work on it was begun in 2002. A few examples will help provide context:
2005: The Authors Guild sues Google for "plain and brazen violation of copyright law" (archived press release from AG via Archive.org)
2009: French court halts Google Books in France: the ruling applies only to books published in France under copyright (Los Angeles Times article)
2010: Several professional photographers' organizations bring a class-action suit regarding the reproduction of copyrighted images within the books scanned by Google (Mashable.com article)
The Authors Guild has been involved with this issue before. This time, the fight has been brought to an organization with a bit less might than Google.
But never mind who sued whom, for what, and when. The issue is really quite simple, and most of the lawsuits against Google Books have had little to no merit.
United States copyright law (the laws under which most Google Books lawsuits have been filed) contains a doctrine known as Fair Use. It was originally intended to protect commentary, critique, and parody of copyrighted works. However, the principles of Fair Use (Cornell University Law School Legal Information Institute):
"the purpose and character of the use" — e.g. for commentary, critique, parody, scholarship, etc.
"the nature of the copyrighted work" — published/unpublished, fact/fiction
"the amount and substantiality of the portion used" — how much of the work was used, and how significant the used portion is to the work as a whole
"the effect of the use upon the potential market" — if the use of that portion will negatively affect demand for or the value of the original work
(Thanks to Stanford University's Copyright & Fair Use information center for helping me refresh my own memory of these concepts.)
The way Google Books works is carefully designed to fit within existing copyright laws. Books in the public domain are fully accessible, with no restrictions. Copyrighted, in-print books allow whatever access the publisher has specified. For in-copyright books that do not have a publisher, Google restricts access to "snippets", which show just a few words surrounding the user's search term.
So: Whenever Google Books shows a significant portion of a book, it has permission from the publisher to do so. Without permission, Google Books displays tiny fractions of the full work in an immensely transformative manner.
Google Books falls well within Fair Use doctrine, at the very least. Displaying card catalog–type information about the book plus at most a sentence or so for each search result (I'll go down the Fair Use list):
Is for scholarly reasons
Uses published works
Displays at most a few percent of the whole book
May actually increase demand for the books featured in the results
(Parts of Lawrence Lessig's 2006 video discussion of Google Book Search came in handy for an overview of how Google Books works.)
So why are publishers and authors suing Google and HathiTrust?
As far as I can tell,[original research?] HathiTrust follows the same rules as Google Books. This makes sense, as the content is from the Google Books program.
HathiTrust's entire archive is intended for academic use. It's unclear why the various plaintiffs in this new lawsuit are suing for the removal of their books from the archive, rather than suing for better access controls. If the concern is that anyone can access the books (which they can), then restricting access to verified researchers would clear up the problem.
It's like big music, film, and television. The music industry figured out that it could simply adapt to the Internet and start offering content over the new medium, giving people an alternative to pirated copies shared through services like Napster, LimeWire, and BitTorrent. Film and television haven't yet figured that out, and I guess the book industry is still working on it too.
Finally: Google Voice Export Feature Released (sort of)
Leaky Websites

Energized! Taking Star Trek: The Next Generation to the Next Level
This is an awesome look at how the entire restoration went, how the original film and audio elements were recovered in a monumental task of cataloguing. Berman talks about how he regretted not editing his show in an HD-ready format, but was excited when he found out they were remaking the entire show from scratch so they could do it. At first SD upconversion was used, but deemed totally unacceptable for this. If you want to see how something like this comes to pass then you really need to watch this. It's a fascinating look into how much work really went into this. Oh, and here's a little tidbit of information: the 13 seconds of lost footage in "Sins of the Father" that was released on the sampler disc, have since been found and will be included in that episode when its season comes out.

E-Cigarette Regulation Proposed by Feds
Joshua Cook April 25, 2014
The e-cigarettes and the e-cigarette business are booming, so now the federal government is looking to impose regulations.
The proposed regulations, including requiring approval for new products and health warning labels. The federal government also wants to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors nationwide. Currently, cities and states prohibit the sale of tobacco products to minors.
According to The Blaze, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration said the proposal sets a foundation for regulating the products but the rules don't immediately ban the wide array of flavors of e-cigarettes, curb marketing on places like TV or set product standards.
Any further rules "will have to be grounded in our growing body of knowledge and understanding about the use of e-cigarettes and their potential health risks or public health benefits," Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said.
Once finalized, the agency could propose more restrictions on e-cigarettes.
An e-cigarette can look very similar to a traditional cigarette. It heats a liquid nicotine solution instead of burning tobacco. The device creates vapor that the user inhales and then exhales the water vapor.
Smokers like e-cigarettes because the nicotine-infused vapor looks like smoke but doesn't contain the thousands of chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes. Some smokers use e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking tobacco or to cut down. But, there's not much scientific evidence showing e-cigarettes help smokers quit or smoke less, and it's unclear how safe they are.
Members of Congress and public health groups have raised concerns over e-cigarettes and questioned their marketing tactics as well at their safety.
"When finalized [the proposal] would result in significant public health benefits, including through reducing sales to youth, helping to correct consumer misconceptions, preventing misleading health claims and preventing new products from entering the market without scientific review by FDA," said Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products.
Your thoughts: Is this another example of how government stifles creative innovation? Is this another attempt by Big Tobacco to use the government to eliminate competition? Is the government doing the right thing by regulating this new product? Share your comment below.

Q: How to determine if password is required I have a task of loading and parsing a given certificate file (or a certificate chain in .p12 file). How can I determine if password is required, so that I can ask the user for it? I can catch CryptographicException and see if Message is "The specified network password is not correct.\r\n" but I'd rather avoid exceptions and not rely on strings in them.

A: .Net provides no way of checking if a certificate has a password. So the only of checking without causing an exception would be to use a 3rd party library.
You should instead allow the user to provide the certificate and password at the same time. If they provide a passworded certificate and no password then that would warrant an exception and requesting a password.


This Patio was created as part of a new build for a beautiful family home being constructed in Cabarlah, Queensland. This project was in conjunction with the Tim Smith Constructions and their clients, who requested a different finish for their patio from early in the build.
The concrete in this space was a new pour, this slab was required to sit for four weeks allowing it to cure and harden before starting any grinding processes.
With a level slab to begin, the grinding process removed the top layer of concrete and ensured the surface was completely flat. The clients in this case were wanting to see the exposed aggregate, so the top layer of the concrete was removed to show a balance of exposed aggregate across the entire patio. This level of stone exposure is known as Full Exposure.
The exposed concrete floor was then grouted to fill in any pin holes and fine lines that existed in the concrete, to produce a smooth level surface. . The patio was then finished with two coats of Anti-Slip Matte Acrylic Sealer it stain and slip resistant.
The end product is a beautiful outdoor space, that is stain and slip resistant, hard wearing and low maintenance for them to enjoy.
