TD Bank Account Hacked
A resident filed a fraud complaint with police advising that they e-transferred funds to their child's account to assist with school expenses however their child never received the money. The resident was able to confirm that the funds were withdrawn from their account however they do not know who received them. The transaction, which had successfully been completed several times before, was done using the banking institutions on-line banking application. Representatives at the banking institution investigated further and discovered a breach in the reporting persons account and that it had been "hacked" by an unknown person. The bank had a name of who the funds were sent to which was not the complainants child and was unknown to the reporting person. The investigation is ongoing while TD Bank investigates further into the matter.
E-transferring funds is generally safe however a few safety protocols should be followed.
An e-Transfer interception occurs when a third party hacks into the intended recipient's email account and finds key information, like the e-Transfer notification and the answer to the security question (either because it's written in your emails or easily guessed). Then, they can redirect the money and deposit it into their own account without hacking into your bank account. This prevents the funds from getting to the intended recipient, but they're still gone from your account.
Here is a link with good information on how to safeguard you on-line banking and e-transfers(this one is for Meridian which is a banking institution however the same basic guidelines apply for most);

Theft from LCBO
Just before 7:00 PM, an adult male attended the LCBO on Malden Road and concealed three bottles of liquor in their jacket before leaving without paying for the items. The theft was not immediately noticed until an inventory was conducted immediately after and a review of the security surveillance revealed how the male selected, concealed and removed the items from the store. The investigating officer reviewed the surveillance video and recognized the male from previous contacts. The officer confirmed the male's identity with an officer from another police agency who also had previous dealings with the male. The male will be charged with the offence of theft under $5000.00.
Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle
At approximately 12:00 AM, An officer conducting property check of the Vollmer Complex grounds observed five vehicles in just beginning the process of performing "donuts" in the freshly fallen snow of one of the parking lots. The officer activated his emergency lights and all vehicles stopped in their tracks. Each of the lone male drivers were identified and were cooperative with the officer. They were all cautioned and educated regarding trespassing, mischief to property and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. They were all very apologetic for their actions. There was no damage to town owned property and extra patrols will be conducted in the area of the Vollmer Complex.
Performing "donuts" may seem like harmless fun but it is dangerous driving which is a criminal offence, and could cost you your or someone else's life. Driving is a privilege, don't abuse it. Drive safely at all times.
Mysterious Knocks and Footprints
An employee of Oak Park Retirement Home on 13th Street contacted police and advised that two of the residents heard a knock on their patio doors at approximately 9:00 PM. The affected residents were not expecting any visitors. Police attended and observed footprints in the snow near the patio doors and searched the area and surrounding trails. During the investigation, two other sets of patio doors to vacant rooms were found to be unlocked and were secured. The officers provided additional security and CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) advice to the staff and residents.
Upside-Down Vehicle in Ditch – Minor Injuries – Multiple Offences
At 1:30 AM, a black Ford Taurus being operated by an adult male was travelling south on Matchette Road approaching Martin Lane when the driver lost control and crashed into the east ditch. As a result of the collision, the vehicle rolled over onto its roof causing extensive damage. LaSalle Police dispatch received an emergency call from OnStar that the vehicle had been involved in an accident and that the occupants were not seriously injured. Officers attended the scene and spoke with the driver and passengers who were able to exit the vehicle after the collision. The driver sustained a minor cut on the hand and the female passenger was transported to the hospital due to pain on her side and was having difficulty breathing. A third passenger in the vehicle was uninjured and was driven home by a police officer. The vehicle sustained heavy damage and was towed from the scene.
After further investigation the driver was issued a 3 day licence suspension for having more the 50mgs alcohol per 100 ml of blood. He was also charged with:
1) Careless Driving Sec 130(1) Highway Traffic Act
2) Novice Driver – B.A.C. Above Zero Sec 44.1(3) Highway Traffic Act
3) Have Care of Control of Vehicle with Cannabis readily available, Sec 12(1) Cannabis Control Act.
Missing Parcel from Front Porch
LaSalle Police Dispatch received a complaint via the LaSalle Police Service on-line web reporting tool (https://www.lasallepolice.ca/report-incident/) regarding a theft of a parcel from a residents front porch on Jolly Avenue. The complainant was expecting four parcels however only received three. The resident contacted the vendor who then put a claim in with Fed Ex. Fed Ex denied the claim, stating that all 4 packages had been delivered. This led the reporting person and the vendor to conclude that one of the parcels may have been stolen. As a result a police report was generated.
Parcel thefts can occur anywhere, anytime. Try to have packages delivered at times when you will be home or perhaps have them delivered to your workplace if allowed. Some couriers also provide options to deliver the parcels to drop off points where the consumer can pick them up safely. Home surveillance systems are also a great addition to you overall home security and can assist greatly in any ensuing investigation.

'This is wrong on two accounts: these folks have not seen what they are to prove in court, and if they do get to see the recording(s), the identifying information must be 'obscured.''
Riecken says the good points are that law enforcement must allow all persons involved in the video to view the recordings — though there still will be an expense, because the viewers must have an attorney present. They also can only see it twice, cannot copy the video, and if they're denied access must go to court with only the hope of having attorney fees reimbursed. She also appreciated that all recordings must be held for a minimum of 180 days while the current standard is 30 days.
Riecken supported an amendment offered by Rep. Ed Delaney that pushed the burden to the police, where it should be, but that was voted down. She urged in her letter that 'we must make sure there is fairness in the process, that there is transparency in the outcome.'
No one wants to believe that police or even prosecutors would hide evidence captured on video, but it has happened elsewhere. Our tax dollars purchased the equipment, pay for the patrol cars, take care of the salaries and — if push comes to shove — cover the court costs in any battle for access.
So now, as the bill goes to the Senate, we only can hope that area legislators Vaneta Becker and Jim Tomes join Riecken in supporting the public's right to know over the police's desire to suppress.

Q: W504 line break after binary operator I have a condition that reads like:
ok = (not a > 10 and
      not b < 10 and
      not c > 99 and
      d == 99)

flake8 complains about this line with the error message:

W504 line break after binary operator

When I move the operator around, it throws a different error:
ok = (not a > 10
      and not b < 10
      and not c > 99
      and d == 99)

W503 line break before binary operator

I tried multiple recommendations (e.g., this), but still, flake8 complains about the linebreak. The actual condition in my code is very long so I cannot put it in one line, also, it is the preference of my team to enclose long lines in () instead of using \.

A: you have set ignore = in your configuration -- you should use extend-ignore =
W504 and W503 conflict with each other (and are both disabled by default) -- by setting ignore you've re-enabled them.  extend-ignore does not have this problem as it augments the default set of ignored codes

disclaimer: I'm the current flake8 maintainer

A: ok = (
    not a > 10 and
    not b < 10 and
    not c > 99 and
    d == 99
)

This should resolve the issue.

The Making of a Memoir Blog
Take a Virtual Vacation: Tuscany
First Morning at the Hotel Villa Breg in Vršac, Serbia
/ Blog, Take a Virtual Vacation: Serbia, The Virtual Vacation / By Laura Davis
When I walked into the dining room after an early morning sauna at the hotel's opulent spa, the huge restaurant was mostly empty. There was one table in use by four members of our group, but since it was already full, I sat down at a new table nearby. I set down my things and went to explore the breakfast buffet. As at my previous hotel, breakfast was plentiful, rich with foods both familiar and unfamiliar. Although the multitude of pastries were tempting, I was more delighted to find oatmeal, laden with goodies—pumpkin seeds, raisins and what looked like cut-up dried cherries. I added a handful or walnuts and a couple of prunes, what's known in the workshop business as "the retreat attendees best friend." I've never been to a retreat center anywhere in the world that didn't feature prunes on the breakfast table. A waiter offered me fresh orange juice and I made myself a small pot of earl grey tea, picked up a tiny individual glass jar of honey and some milk. I was set.
This seems to be a staple.
Ketchup and something else?
Now this is something you would never see just outside the breakfast buffet in an American restaurant.
My first bite of oatmeal was a definite surprise. I'd been expecting it to be hot and it was cold, but it was delicious–the best muesli I'd ever tasted. I eagerly dug in, but as the dining room filled up around me, I felt a bit lonely. That's always the case being the teacher: you are one of the group, but set apart from the group at the same time. And of course language made me shyer to ask if I could join the women filling the other tables.
My breakfast:
My earl grey.
The view:
But then Ivana (who for the sake of this story I'll call Ivana #1), who'd translated for me at the Embassy, began to chat with me from across the room, so I picked up my breakfast and joined her. A second Ivana (who for the sake of this story I'll call Ivana #2), also from Belgrade, joined us at our table. Ivana #2 began talking to me about The Courage to Heal—how important the book had been to her when she began her own healing journey.
She told me how she'd heard about the book and described the impact it had had on her life. In my life as an author, this is a conversation I have had many, many times in the last 30 years, definitely not so much now as before when the book was new and when I was on road talking about incest, but each time it happens, I am humbled and grateful that the book Ellen Bass and I co-authored has had such an impact on women's lives.
But now that thirty years has passed, that kind of interaction happens much less frequently—many people in my life know nothing about my past history as a formerly "famous" author.
But this was different. I was in Serbia. To be honest, I hadn't even remembered that The Courage to Heal had been translated into Serbian.
The Courage to Heal, in Serbian:
But Ivana #2 told me that eleven years ago, she'd walked into the Incest Trauma Center, not really thinking she had very much to work on, and in her first session with her new therapist, she'd been handed a copy of The Courage to Heal, newly translated into Serbian. "I'll read it by next week," she'd told her therapist.
"Take your time," was her therapist's reply.
When she got home, Ivana opened the book. "I read the first five sentences and it was like, 'Oh shit!' Everything I read was about me. My reaction was with my feelings; it wasn't mental. I closed the book. I couldn't read anymore. It was like a volcano going off."
As Ivana spoke, I could feel tears pressing against my eyes. Some time, 15 or so years ago, I'd signed a contract sent to me by my agent Charlotte for foreign rights. I was vaguely aware that the book had been published in a dozen or so languages, and in my office bookcase, there are copies of many of these foreign editions. They were more like novel decorations than anything else. I had never really taken in what all those foreign editions meant, but now I could see that that foreign rights contract that I'd routinely signed and returned had actually meant something.
It meant that these women and women throughout the Balkans had been using our book to help them heal from the sexual violence they had encountered in their lives–and there has been such terrible sexual violence in the Balkans—in homes and in war.
Ivana's story reminded me that the healing process truly is universal. Women telling the truth about their lives is a radical act, not just at home in the US, but everywhere. Our book had changed lives in ways I hadn't fully imagined—that I can't fully imagine. It's just too big to take in. What had started for me as a desperate need to heal as a 27-year-old woman, flooded with incest memories, a 27-year-old woman who had the audacity to approach Ellen Bass about collaborating on a book about healing at a backyard party in Santa Cruz, more than thirty years ago, had led to this. To this moment in this beautiful hotel having breakfast with these brave, committed, amazing women.
"I know what I'm saying," Ivana continued. "A woman needs your book—if she has that, she has everything she needs."
I don't really know how to describe that moment. Sitting at an elegant restaurant in a fancy hotel on a hilltop of a town whose name I will never be able to pronounce, realizing—no feeling—the awesome gratitude at having made a difference in women's lives, at having created something that broke silence and told the truth about sexual violence against women and the capacity to heal from it. From my own desperate need and with my own newly found courage, as a very young woman, I wrote something that contributed to the empowerment of millions of women I will never know–yet here in front of me, was one, telling me face to face what The Courage to Heal had meant to her.
It's hard to make myself big enough to breathe and take that in.

Registration Panels
When a matter is referred to the Registration Committee, the Chair of the Committee selects a panel from the members of the Committee to consider it. A panel must consist of at least three Registration Committee members, at least one of whom must be publicly appointed. Three Committee members are required for quorum.
There are several common reasons that a member or applicant may find themselves at a Registration Committee Panel, and they are detailed below.
Referral to the Registration Committee for an Active Practice Requirement Shortfall
Members who continue to have an Active Practice Requirement (APR) shortfall are referred to the Registration Committee in accordance with the Registration Regulation.
Members will be asked to make written submissions to the Registration Committee within 30 days of receiving a notice of referral. The member's written submission must include the following:
Reason for the shortfall and explanation of how they have been maintaining their knowledge and skills to practise safely in all birth settings
Where applicable, the member must demonstrate that extenuating circumstances exist (i.e. circumstances that are beyond the member's control) that prevented the member from meeting their APR. For example:
Low home birth rate practice
Unplanned changes to birth location
Planned home births becoming transfers of care
Where applicable, an explanation of how the member's practice environment/employment contributed to the shortfall and may continue to contribute to a shortfall. For example:
Hospitalist midwife
Expanded Midwifery Care Models and not providing intrapartum care
Birth Centre Clinical Director
MEP instructor
A panel of the Registration Committee is appointed to review the APR shortfall referrals. A chair is appointed, and conflicts are vetted. A panel meets to make a decision using the risk assessment tool for active practice shortfalls. The panel considers all submissions and information and exercises their discretion to determine one of the following outcomes.
Exception granted (in extenuating circumstances under 12(1)1 of the Registration Regulation)
Shortfall plan required
Term, condition or limitation may be imposed if:
Member does not attend births as a primary care provider
Member only attends births in hospitals and other institutional settings
Member has to be a general registrant as part of their employment requirements (e.g. Birth Centre Clinical Director)
The outcome of the APR referral is communicated to the member in a written decision and reasons, including the next APR due date.
Referral to the Registration Committee to determine a Requalification Program
A panel of the Registration Committee may be required to determine a requalification program if the current clinical experience requirements of the Registration Regulation are not met. Generally this is at the time of class change from Inactive to General.
You can click here for more information on the class change process.
Referral to the Registration Committee for Application Review
The Registration Committee considers referrals from the Registrar of applications for registration that do not meet the requirements set out in the Registration Regulation.
The Registrar shall refer an application for registration to the Registration Committee if the Registrar,
(a) has doubts, on reasonable grounds, about whether the applicant fulfils the registration requirements;
(a.1) is of the opinion that terms, conditions or limitations should be imposed on a certificate of registration of the applicant and the applicant is an individual who holds an out-of-province certificate;
(b) is of the opinion that terms, conditions or limitations should be imposed on a certificate of registration of the applicant and the applicant does not consent to the imposition; or
(c) proposes to refuse the application.
When an application is referred to the Registration Committee, the panel must consider the application and any submissions provided by the applicant. The panel then has power to make one or more of the following orders:
Directing the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration.
Directing the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration if the applicant successfully completes examinations set or approved by the panel.
Directing the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration if the applicant successfully completes additional training specified by the panel.
Directing the Registrar to impose specified terms, conditions, and limitations on a certificate of registration of the applicant and specifying a limitation on the applicant's right to apply to vary those terms.
Directing the Registrar to refuse to issue a certificate of registration.
A panel cannot register an applicant who has not met a registration requirement, unless the requirement is non‐exemptible.

Gannett: 'Frontline' reporting jobs will be last to get cut
by: TALI ARBEL, Associated Press
Posted: Dec 8, 2019 / 11:54 AM EST / Updated: Dec 8, 2019 / 12:02 PM EST
In this undated photo provided by New Media, Mike Reed poses for a photo. The Associated Press spoke recently with Gannett CEO Mike Reed and the head of its new operating unit, Paul Bascobert. (Emily Rehm/New Media via AP)
NEW YORK (AP) — In November, newspaper publisher GateHouse completed its acquisition of USA Today owner Gannett, creating the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S. Executives behind the merger, which was funded in part by a high-interest, $1.8 billion loan from a private equity firm, have pledged significant cost cuts, but say they are aiming to shield reporting jobs as much as possible.
The combined company, which will use the Gannett name, also has big aspirations for new digital ventures that it likens to a modern and reimagined form of classified advertising.
The Associated Press spoke recently with Gannett CEO Mike Reed and the head of its new operating unit, Paul Bascobert. The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.
Q: Tell us about new products you might launch.
Bascobert: If you go back to think about what a local newspaper was, even 20 years ago, you were provided with news and information. But you also had connections to the local community through classifieds, which connected you with local providers. You could find a dog or cat, personals, a car, etc. We think we can actually go back to that through better digital innovation.
Q: You have 140 million online visitors, but that digital business is small for each local paper.
Bascobert: We can use 140 million as a national advertising buy. What's more powerful is actually the market share within each of those little communities. The amount of digital activity on our platforms and the engagement, the frequency of people on our digital platforms is actually where the real opportunity is.
Q: How is the $300 million cost-cut estimate going to translate to job cuts?
Bascobert: There's a lot of duplication of senior-level folks and duplication of management. There's duplication of printing delivery. Not just people, but operating costs, systems costs, audit costs, things that we're buying twice that we only need to buy once.
Q: What about the newsroom?
Bascobert: Formatting and layout, digital placements, digital research. There's lots of things that can be done in one place, which leaves us more resources to keep our frontline reporting intact. That's the thing that has given us the trust in the brand and these local markets that let us build the digital businesses on the back of it. It's the last place that we want to touch.
Q: Would you be able to hire reporters?
Bascobert: If that's what we determined to be the right answer, sure. But I don't necessarily think that the answer is adding more bodies. There's a lot more interesting innovation to be done through things like use of large datasets.
Q: GateHouse, and now Gannett, is managed by private equity firm Fortress through 2021. There's a lot of wariness of media companies connected to investment companies. What's your response?
Bascobert: To make the transformation that we need to make, we need to invest in new products, new technology, new approaches. Those investments come from shareholders who do demand the return. You know, for lack of investment from companies, from shareholders, the business doesn't change. It just continues to decline.
Reed: I'm a 31-year media guy who cares deeply about the future of journalism. This is not an investment where I'm at the table saying we've got to cut these journalists because we've got to pay fees to somebody else. That's never a discussion that would be had.

Climate not considered a top 10 risk by CEOs – survey
by PAN PYLAS, Associated Press / Jan 20, 2020
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Climate issues are set to be one of the main talking points at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos this week, but a survey of CEOs released Monday shows that they are not even ranked among the top ten threats to business growth.
In its annual report ahead of the gathering in Davos, financial services group PwC said climate change and environmental issues are ranked as the 11th biggest threat to their companies' growth prospects. Though up one spot from the same survey a year ago, climate-related issues lag way behind other concerns such as over-regulation, which ranks as the number 1 worry. Other concerns in the top 10 include trade conflicts, lack of skills among workers and populism in politics.

Qualcomm Sues TI Over Leaked Info

Qualcomm yesterday filed suit against Texas Instruments (TI) for breach of contract, seeking to end a 2 1/2 year-old agreement to share intellectual property and patents for wireless technology. The basis of the suit is a claim by Qualcomm that TI made several public statements in early May that breached a confidentiality agreement between the two companies. The suit comes two months after TI announced it will begin making CDMA chips, a move that will put the company in direct competition with Qualcomm.

Thought Experiments in F# Minor
The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry is the home of Los Angeles Philharmonic, aka "LA Phil."
In the early afternoon on non-concert days several tours are available. Thought Experiments in F# Minor from artist duo Cardiff and Miller is an immersive video narrative piece that leads the audience around the labyrinth-like building as a story unfolds.
Best of all it's completely free.
After checking in at a desk just to the left of the entrance, you hand in a photo ID in exchange for an iPad and a pair of headphones. The experience starts at a specific bench in the lobby.
I don't want to give too much away here but the video begins with an adorable cat in a cardboard box before synchronizing with the current location, and begging you to walk around with it.
A seemingly detached narrator guides you to walk from place to place with the video as you follow two characters played by the wildly talented actress Jena Malone around the building.
The story is difficult to describe, but suffice it to say it involves life, death, the space in between — and Schrodinger's Cat.
In real life, security guards stationed at key points open doors that would otherwise be off limits to the general public during the tour hours.
At one moment in the narration the audience is instructed to look at their reflection in a mirrored wall — if you ignore this and watch the video instead, you see the camera operator as he mimics the action, revealing himself in the reflection. I thought that was a clever Easter Egg, perhaps a nod to the impossible mirror scene in the film Contact (also featuring Jena Malone when she was a little girl.)
What really sets Thought Experiments apart from any immersive experience I've ever done are the musical performances from LA Philharmonic featured throughout. I'm not even a big classical music fan but I found these to be a treat.
In the final segment I found myself almost dancing as I followed the camera choreography in an empty room as the video veers through a small orchestra performing in the same space.
My recommendation: This is an unforgettable experience — I can't think of a single criticism, it's the most unique and well put together piece of immersive content I've ever seen. Be aware it involves stairs and escalators, and it's only recommended for those 10 years old or over due to the content. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Review: Southern Gothic from Windy City Playhouse
Production photo; audience photography is not allowed
In Chicago I made a point to see Windy City Playhouse's immersive theater play "Southern Gothic."
It's only my second experience seeing an immersive theater show, the first being Wonderland in San Francisco. This one is very different; the audience is expected to be a fly on the wall, sticking to the edges of the performance space.
The basic concept of immersive theater (or immersive experience) is still so new I'm not sure we have the right vocabulary to describe the different types of shows yet. The main commonality between them is there's no clearly defined "proscenium," or edge of the stage. Instead, audiences and actors share a common space.
Southern Gothic's stage is custom built to reflect a suburban home in early 1960's Georgia. The audience is instructed to stick to the walls, sitting only at benches along the perimeter with red cushions on them. Beverages can be purchased at a bar out on the home's patio, though a couple small alcoholic beverages are served during the show and audiences are encouraged to pillage snacks served by actors off the tables.
Without going into spoilers the play concerns a house party among close white friends celebrating one of their birthdays. One of them is a shady politician, and another friend brings along a (gasp!) African American girlfriend.
It's impossible to follow every story — and many unfold over the course of the evening — but you're encouraged to pick one or more and dart from room to room to watch them play out.
The drama gets increasingly intense as the story continues. At one point while attempting to follow the action, I managed to slip on a particularly slick bench and spilled part of the drink I was holding at the time. I was about to alert a stagehand until I realized none of it landed on the floor — all of it wound up on my own face and shirt. Oops.
The clearances between the edge of the area where audiences are supposed to remain and the areas where the actors perform is a very thin one. For this reason the show is unfortunately inaccessible to wheelchair users.
Since there's no way to see the entire story in one viewing it's impossible for me to review the story itself, though I'll say I enjoyed everything I was able to see — it was a full or nearly full house so there were moments where I didn't have enough space to follow parts of the story I would have liked to follow up on.
What I can say for certain is the actors did an incredible job of performing while simultaneously ignoring and dodging the audience. Only in one moment did an actor accidentally look me in the eye, but they did not respond to my presence otherwise. The stagehands politely steered audience members out of the way of the actors on a few occasions where they might have crossed paths.
My only criticisms are mostly related to the stage itself. Mainly, I wish they'd gone for blocking it out based on the story rather than realism of the home. Certain story elements kept going back and forth between the kitchen and dining room but there was only one tiny passage for audience members between these two rooms which was shared by the actors. A second passage or perhaps a less realistic depiction of a home of the era with a wider passage would have served the story better.
There was one tiny anachronism that I doubt anyone else noticed; the telephone was plugged in via an RJ11 modular phone jack. This is an incredibly minor detail, but one that caught me off guard because the rest of the set looked so incredibly realistic. Every other detail like the appliances, stereo, wooden window frames (sans glass) and bathroom fixtures looked perfectly on point for the time period. I realize this is splitting hairs but it only stuck out at me because of the perfection of the other period details.
I don't know if this is a popular opinion but I think traditional theater is a dying form of art. In film the camera can point wherever to highlight the action, whereas in traditional theater it's fixed to the two dimensional plane in which audiences can move their eyes.
On the other hand with something like Southern Gothic the audience is free to move about the stage which affords them a form of agency to follow different stories during a single show. If I could I'd definitely see this play a second or even third time.
My recommendation: Southern Gothic is a solid play, though it also feels like a beta version of where theater could head to next. It's not perfect but on a less cramped stage this could be the first in a new generation of great America immersive plays. It seems audiences agree as Southern Gothic already gained enough attention to be renewed.

Review: Wonderland from Epic Immersive
This is the final month for an immersive theater show in San Francisco titled Wonderland. It's a story based on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. As the audience is sworn to secrecy and forbidden (wisely, I think) from taking photos, this will be a tight-lipped review. I'm not going to discuss details about the story or expose the secret location.
Let me start by stating that I've only been to one previous production that would qualify as "immersive theater," so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. But the basic rules on the ticketing website and the safety presentation before the show seemed pretty clear. Arrive sober, don't attack the actors, and if you're unclear or uncomfortable just say so — simple enough.
The audience went through in small groups, with the actors either drawing out or speeding up scenes to give everyone time to find their way through the dark "rabbit holes" of the space. This seemed to affect pacing in unexpected ways. My companion in our group later confessed she felt rushed at times and would have liked more time to explore.
I should point out here that this production is fairly linear. Unlike some immersive theater productions where you can stay in one spot the whole time if you wish, in Wonderland you're ushered from one scene to the next.
The interactions between the actors and audience varied between scenes, as did the seriousness of the actors themselves. Some seemed content to chew scenery while others played their roles with more subtle humor. The only character played completely straight is Alice, which is sensible considering her story arch.
Aside from one unclear plot point near the end I found the story easy to follow and enjoyable. Perhaps the real standout star of the show is the venue itself. That said I'm biased as this particular place is one of my favorites in San Francisco — perhaps it will become one of yours as well.
Wonderland extends through the end of June 2018, you can purchase tickets here. If you go with someone else try to get tickets in the same "wave" so you won't be split up.
My recommendation: If you're the kind of person who reads this blog, I'd give it a qualified yes — as long as you meet the mobility requirements (some crawling is involved), have an interest in immersive theater, and can afford the ticket price it's a fun and unique show. See it while you still have the chance!

Legendary Leica photographer Ralph Gibson will be the next photographer that will have his work presented at the Leica Gallery, Los Angeles. I have been a big fan of Mr. Gibson's work for about 30 years now and I highly recommend attending the showing of his work with the latest Leica Monochrom camera. He has been using Leica cameras for 50 years. I definitely plan on attending and hope I get to say a word or two to this fabulous artist.
The Leica Gallery Los Angeles presents for the first time in the United States photographer Ralph Gibson's newest body of work MONO shot exclusively with the M Monochrom Camera. This very elegant new exhibition of 50 black and white digital prints focuses on structures, elegant shapes and lines. He will also be signing his new book MONO at the gallery along with giving a talk on his artwork on Sunday, September 28, 2014.
Ralph Gibson's new book "MONO," which features images taken with the Leica M Monochrom, was released on December 11, 2013 at the Leica Store Lisse. His accompanied body of work was taken with the Monochrom Camera by Leica to commemorate the launch of the "Ralph Gibson" signature edition MONO camera this past year. It was produced in partnership with Leica Camera and gallerist Duncan Meeder of the Netherlands.
"The images in this book are made with an eye to the idea that with the MONO, it is possible to photograph everything."
His other publications include Passé Imparfait, Nudes, Quartet, State of the Axe, Diptych and Ex Libris just to name a few. Ralph Gibson photographs are held in a very large number of public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, LACMA, the J.P. Getty Museum, SF MOMA, The Museum Fine Arts Boston, High Museum, Atlanta, Dallas Museum of Art, TX, Israel Museum, Tel Aviv and dozens more collections in Paris, Tokyo, London and throughout the world. This year, Gibson is exhibiting in museum shows in both Korea and Italy, and has recently exhibited at Leica Gallery in Solms, Germany and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and Gallery 916, Tokyo, Japan.

Q: sqlParameters Array in VB.Net I'm trying to create a typed-sized parameters array in VB.Net:
Dim parameters() As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter() _
        {
          New SqlParameter("@first_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) {Value = "john"},
          New SqlParameter("@last_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) {Value = "doe"},
          New SqlParameter("@age", SqlDbType.Int) {Value = 18},
          New SqlParameter("@id", SqlDbType.Int) {Value = 123}
        }

But VS says: Value' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level
What's wrong with the code above?
Thanks!

A: You need to use the VB syntax for object initializers:
Dim parameters() As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter() _
        {
          New SqlParameter("@first_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) With { .Value = "john"},
          New SqlParameter("@last_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) With { .Value = "doe"},
          New SqlParameter("@age", SqlDbType.Int) With { .Value = 18},
          New SqlParameter("@id", SqlDbType.Int) With { .Value = 123}
        }

Saturn - Codex Gamicus - Humanity's collective gaming knowledge at your fingertips.
The Saturn (セガサターン?) is a console released by SEGA in Japan on the November 22, 1994. It is generally seen as an (undeserved, in some eyes) failure, being totally outplayed in the market by Sony's PlayStation. It was released in Japan on November 22, 1994, in the United States on May 11, 1995, and in Europe on July 8, 1995. Though originally scheduled to be released in America in September 1995, SEGA of America moved the release date earlier in the hopes of cashing in on sales that would have gone to the purchase of a PlayStation, which made its debut in North America in September 1995. The Saturn contained a 32-bit video card. Video games were released on CD-ROM.
The SEGA Saturn sold 17 million units worldwide, up until 1998. It was SEGA's most popular console in Japan, coming second place to the PlayStation and beating the Nintendo 64 in that market. In Japan, advertising for the Saturn was frequently provided by cult-favourite Segata Sanshiro. However, the SEGA Saturn failed to gain a similar market share in North America and Europe, regions where it became a distant third behind Sony's PlayStation and the Nintendo 64. The Saturn was followed by the Dreamcast.
In 2009, video game website IGN chose the Saturn to be their 18th best video game console of all time, out of their list of 25.
The Saturn had impressive hardware at the time of its release, but its design, with two CPUs and six other processors, made harnessing this power difficult for developers accustomed to conventional programming. It increased the complexity of the system.
The Saturn's dual-CPU architecture was the source of some difficulty for developers. The biggest disadvantage was that both processors shared the same bus and were unable to access the memory registers at the same time. As a result, only one processor could utilize system memory at a time. The 4 KiB of cache memory in each CPU was critical to maintaining performance. In general, a very careful division of processing, in addition to the already-challenging task of parallelizing the code, was required to get the most out of the Saturn. One example of how the Saturn was utilized was with Virtua Fighter's use of one CPU for each character.
Many of the Saturn's developers, such as Lobotomy Software programmer Ezra Dreisbach, found it difficult to develop for compared to the PlayStation because of its more complex graphics hardware. In order to port Duke Nukem 3D and PowerSlave/Exhumed to the Saturn, Lobotomy Software had to almost entirely rewrite the Build engine to take advantage of the Saturn's unconventional hardware. Also, during testing of an unreleased Quake port for the PlayStation, the Saturn's performance was found to be notably inferior for the game. Other developers have contested that the Saturn's shortcomings in these respects are overstated at best. WARP leader Kenji Eno, when asked how WARP managed to produce the impressive 3D visuals of Enemy Zero (a game originally developed for the PlayStation) on the Saturn, replied, "...the PlayStation and the Saturn aren't that different, so moving it [Enemy Zero] to Saturn wasn't too difficult."
Third-party development was initially hindered by the lack of useful software libraries and development tools, requiring developers to write in assembly language to achieve good performance. At least during early Saturn development, programming in assembly could offer a two to fivefold speed increase over C language. To save development costs and time, some programmers would utilize only one CPU, such as with Alien Trilogy. Sega responded to these criticisms by writing new graphics libraries which were claimed to help make development easier. These libraries were presented as a new operating system by Sega of Japan.
Saturn games also improved with time, as with nearly every other console system. One notable example is the Saturn port of Virtua Fighter 2. For instance, later programming techniques employed by SEGA's AM2 saw an improvement in performance. Video exists of a canceled version of Shenmue - later released on the Dreamcast - running on a stock Sega Saturn. The video was included in the Dreamcast title Shenmue II.
Unlike the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 which used triangles as their basic geometric primitive, the Saturn rendered quadrilaterals with forward texture mapping, similar to the 3DO. This proved to be a hindrance because most of the industry's standard design tools were based on triangles, with independent texture UV coordinates specified per vertex. One of the challenges brought forth by quadrilateral-based rendering was problems with textured surfaces containing triangles. In order to make a triangular shaped object, rendering had a fourth side with a length of zero. This technique proved problematic as it caused texture distortion and required careful reworking to achieve the desired appearance - Sega provided tools for remapping textures from UV space into rectangular tiles. These complications can be seen in the Saturn version of Tomb Raider, in which triangular rocks are not rendered as well as other systems' versions of the game.
If used correctly, the quadrilateral rendering of the Saturn had advantages. It could sometimes better approximate perspective than the PlayStation's triangles (linearly interpolated in screen space), as demonstrated by several cross-platform titles such as Wipeout and Destruction Derby. However, the lack of UV coordinates could produce further problems with clipping textured surfaces - in some games like SEGA Rally the UV's would simply be clamped at the near clip plane, although the polygon outlines were clipped correctly. The quadrilateral-focused hardware and a 50% greater amount of video memory also gave the Saturn an advantage for 2D game engines and attracted many developers of role-playing video games, arcade games and traditional 2D fighting games. With creative programming, later games like Burning Rangers were able to achieve true transparency effects on hardware that used simple polygon stipples as a replacement for transparency effects in the past.
The cartridge slot gave the potential for adding extra RAM or storage devices for saving games to the system.
Two ROM cartridges were released with Sega Saturn games: one with King of Fighters '95 and the other with Ultraman: Hikari no Kyojin Densetsu. The ROM cartridges contained part of the game data because not enough system RAM was available.
Two different RAM cartridges were released for the system; a 1 MB RAM cart by SNK for King of Fighters '96 and a 4 MB RAM cart by Capcom for X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. A RAM expansion cartridge was also required for the games Groove on Fight & Final Fight Revenge. Both companies were known for their sprite-based 2D competitive fighting games and many of their subsequent games utilized their respective cartridges (such as Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire and Cotton 2: Magical Night Dreams).
32 KiB SRAM with battery back-up for data retention.
Audio generation was provided via a specialized multifunction sound chip developed by Yamaha, the YMF292, also known as the Saturn Custom Sound Processor or SCSP. The SCSP included 32 sound channels with both FM and PCM (up to 44.1 kHz sampling rate) functionality and fully configurable channel linking for modulation purposes, a 128-step DSP, and either 16-or 18-bit digital output to an external DAC. The SCSP was used in conjunction with the Saturn's Motorola 68EC000 co-processor and dedicated audio RAM, and MIDI compliance allowed use of an external MIDI controller, such as a keyboard. The SCSP lacked hardware audio decompression.
The SEGA Saturn is equipped with dual custom VDP chips for graphics processing. The VDP1 chip is primarily responsible for sprite generation. Polygon generation is accomplished through manipulation of the sprite engine. Texture mapping and Gouraud shading are also handled by the VDP1.
The VDP1 renders primitives to two 256 kB frame buffers that is most commonly configured as 512x256x16 with a 320x240 visible area. For medium and high-resolution games, a 1024x256x8 frame buffer is used. Games running at 30 frames/s, like Virtua Fighter Remix and Die Hard Arcade, this gives a visible area of 640x240. For games running at 60 frames/s, like Virtua Fighter 2 and Dead or Alive, taking advantage of interlacing allows the two frame buffers to be combined with an effective size of 1024x512 per frame, with a visible area of 640x480. Having two separate frame buffers allows double buffering of the display and provides more time for rendering. The active framebuffer is read out to the display by the VDP2, which can apply data from a coefficient table to modify the scanning process, for effects like rotation, scaling, and general distortion of the entire frame buffer as a single entity.
The SCU (system bus control unit) provides DMA across a dedicated bus commonly labelled as the "B-bus" that the VDP2 and VDP1 are connected to, allowing transfer of data from them to and from main memory. Keep note that transferring data from and to the same bus is prohibited by all 3 SCU DMA levels.
Rendering engine for command tables: textured and non-textured polygons, untextured "polygons," "polylines," and lines along with command tables that control the frame buffer.
VDP1 memory is split: 512 kB for texture data / command lists, 256 kB for one frame buffer and 256 kB for another. Because of the split, it is not possible to use the frame buffer as a texture.
The VDP1 has no texture cache, but since texture memory and the frame buffer have separate buses and can be accessed simultaneously, there isn't a speed penalty.
The two frame buffers have a high-speed auto-erase feature.
Commands are stored in a linked list in RAM, multiple lists can be stored, the list can be processed by the VDP1 without wasting a DMA channel.
The VDP 2 serves as the Sega Saturn's background processor. Certain special effects such as texture transparency and playfield rotation and scrolling (up to five fields at any given time) are handled here.
Both the VDP2 and VDP1 32-bit video display processor has direct access to the both SH-2s, as well as direct memory access (DMA) to both the main and video RAM.
The SEGA Saturn video game console features a double speed CD-ROM drive manufactured by JVC-Victor (some models may have been manufactured by Hitachi or Sanyo). The drive has a transfer rate of 320 KB/s, and a 512 KB data cache. Drive related functions are controlled via a single Hitachi SH1 32-bit RISC processor operating at 20 MHz.
While the Saturn graphics hardware is capable of VGA (progressive/non-interlaced) video, no existing retail software ever used this mode and the system cannot force any such software to run in this mode. Moreover, neither Sega nor third-party manufacturers produced or sold the cables required to support such high-resolution modes on any type of display.
A VDP1 transparency rendering quirk causes strips of pixels to be rewritten to framebuffer for 2-point (scaled) and 4-point (quadrangle) "sprites", applying the transparency effect multiple times. Rarely seen in commercial games (Robotica explosions), later titles implemented software transparency via direct framebuffer access to correctly render polygons (Dural in Virtua Fighter Kids).
Another technique developed for pseudo-hardware transparency was to rasterize polygons using one or two-pixel-tall sprites with transparency enabled to fill in horizontal spans. Because 2 of the 4 quadrangle points were identical, there was no framebuffer rewrite during rendering.

SpaceX will carry Masten lunar lander to the moon in 2022
By Georgina Torbet August 28, 2020
SpaceX has another mission to the moon, as it has been contracted to deliver a lunar lander as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. It will deliver the lander from another private company, Masten Space Systems, which will explore the moon's south pole in a mission set to launch in late 2022.
The MM1 mission aims to investigate the moon's pole with a lander equipped with scientific instruments and other payloads from commercial space companies. The poles of the moon are known to host water ice in shadowed areas that form cold traps, and this could be an important resource for future crewed lunar exploration. As well as NASA instruments which will be carried by Masten's XL-1, the company says it will also provide opportunities for other commercial partners to send payloads to the moon as part of this mission.

"Having SpaceX's proven launch success behind us is not only great for us, but it's great for our customers," Masten chief executive officer, Sean Mahoney, said in a statement. "We share a common vision with SpaceX and that makes this more than a partnership. It's more like a dream team."
This adds Masten to a roster of lunar mission which will make use of SpaceX technology for traveling to the moon, including another NASA CLPS mission from Intuitive Machines. NASA says that by inviting commercial partners to participate in lunar missions under the CLPS program, it aims to advance the scientific exploration of the moon and to build a commercial industry around lunar resources and exploration.
"We are thrilled to be launching Masten's Mission One to the Moon in 2022," SpaceX senior director of commercial sales Stephanie Bednarek said in the statement. "SpaceX was founded upon the goal of extending humanity's reach beyond Earth, and it's exciting to take part in a mission with many partners who share the same vision."
