Ordering takeout online is a fraught exercise, it dawned on me last week, four months into my self-isolation.
As I gazed at my choices, emotions swept over me in a choppy tide.
There was longing, sharp and unexpected. Could it really be four months since I've eaten fresh shrimp or Gulf crabmeat? That's what I wondered as I reviewed the menu from Eugene's Gulf Coast Cuisine, the newish west Montrose iteration of the former east Montrose classic, Danton's Gulf Seafood.
Grim practicality crept in, too. How long would the leftovers keep? Was there room in my fridge? Let's see, gumbo is always better the second day; I'll get some of that because Danton's deep-dark roux was always one of my favorites. Ouch, here came longing again, for the days when I could dart out for a bowl of gumbo without a care in the world.
And hello, anxiety, old friend. How safe would I be while picking up my food? Will I have to go inside? (No, thank goodness.) Can I pay online? (Yes, thank goodness.)
Ebbing and flowing throughout the process was a hopeful anticipation that has kept me going since mid-March: the prospect of something delicious, or invigorating, or comforting to break up the monotony of my homebound routine; something to feed my somewhat tattered soul.
I had heard good things about Eugene's takeout service from a colleague, and I had been curious about the Danton's reinvention in the storied space on Welch that once housed Quasimodo's and then Mockingbird Bistro. I had loved Danton's weekend blues brunch and its oyster bar back in the day, and I was curious to see how some of my then-favorite dishes had survived.
Eugene's online menu has good detail and various quantity tiers that make it suitable for one or two diners, a family or a big whomping group feed. There was a tip prompt — which I value so much as an easy way to reward restaurant workers for showing up in a pandemic to help feed us; and a "special instructions" box where I could specify "no contact" curbside pickup.
My main sorrow was that there was no option to buy a bottle of wine to go with my crab and shrimp dishes, although I could have specified any one of 18 beers for $6 or $7. I gazed wistfully at the glass of white wine pictured with Kyle's Crab Salad Remoulade on the menu, and moved on. Iced tea from my home stash would do fine.
I pulled up in front of Eugene's at 6 p.m. on the dot. A masked valet hopped down from the SUV he had just parked, asked me if I had an order and went inside. Seconds later — giving me just enough time to appreciate the "Keep Calm and Carry Out" sign posted beneath the awning — a masked staffer emerged with two shopping bags in hand, deposited them in my passenger seat, and I was off again at 6:02. I was already impressed.
The dishes I had ordered kept surprising me. The frilly-edged Oysters Kyle I had loved when I reviewed Danton's in 2006 — "swimming in a lemony bath of garlic butter fleshed out with plenty of green onion and a flush of cayenne" — were now so lemony that even I, the Queen of Tartness, gasped at my first several bites.
I ate half of the eight oysters in my appetizer-size portion, stashed the rest for later and went on to wolf down a small Caesar salad that I didn't even know I'd been craving. Everything from its crisp romaine to its rustic croutons to its exuberantly garlicky soft-yellow dressing — served on the side and swaddled to the salad box with plastic wrap — hit the mark.
I had ordered Crab Balinese because I liked the old-school sounds of it, from the vintage Galveston nightclub allusion to the lump crab baked with some mayo and cheese, plus a confetti of red and green peppers, like a downhome crab ravigote. My first bites out of the plastic pint container were so salty I put the crab aside for later, wondering if I could balance the flavors out somehow.
And what do you know? The next day, the flavors had settled down, and when I added the gently reheated crab to some rice I borrowed from my gumbo stash, the dish seemed like exactly the lush, throwback indulgence I had dreamed of.
Crab Balinese tasted like something a crazy-good Louisiana home cook might whip up for you, which is exactly how I remembered the best of Danton's dishes.
Eugene's Gulf Coast Cuisine
1985 Welch, 713-807-8883
Lunch 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays; dinner 5 p.m.-9 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays; 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Fridays. Brunch and dinner 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturdays
Next time, I'd be sure to order rice on the side as one of two choices. Served that way, you could feed three people with one entree-size order.
Earlier, I had lunched on the shrimp cocktail I'd ordered. The shrimp were pretty, respectfully cooked critters, nicely sized, painstakingly cleaned and … what? The remoulade sauce I had specified on the "instructions" box for the dish — and which I had singled out for special praise in that long-ago review — was missing in action. They'd given me the cocktail sauce instead.
I was crestfallen for a few moments, until the heat and horseradish zip of the cocktail sauce kicked in and I realized how happy I was to have an old-fashioned shrimp cocktail in front of me. Nostalgia prickled, for things large and small.
That chicken and sausage gumbo was as darkly savory as I had remembered it, by the way; and the okra and tomato side dish I once loved at Danton's was good, too, heated up with some leftover gumbo rice.
I had always liked Danton's whipped yams and their dirty rice, I remembered too late. But now I've got a blueprint for future do-it-yourself plate lunches.
I hope to return. And that's the final emotion this week's curbside adventure evoked — the one they say springs eternal. I hope they're right.

Two requests to operate two separate sand mines in different parts of Pitt County top the agenda of tonight's Board of Commissioners meeting.
Public hearings for these requests and a rezoning item are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the commissioners' second floor auditorium of the county office complex, 1717 W. Fifth Street.
One of the public hearings is for a conditional-use permit that the commissioners first issued in June 2017 but that expired one year later because the applicant, Southern Land & Timber, had not started using the property.
The company wants the special-use permit to operate a sand mine on property located on Sheppard Mill Road south of its intersection Satterthwaite Road. The subject property is nearly 300 acres, of which nearly 161 acres will be used for the sand mine, a nearly 23-acre increase over the previous sand mine, according to documents submitted to the Board of Commissioners.
The permitted acreage was increased to meet the minimum 100-foot setback required by the county planning ordinance, according the the documents.
Planning staff recommends approving the conditional-use permit with the condition that a 50-foot riparian buffer be placed on all stream features present on the site, or that the company provide documentation from North Carolina Division of Water Quality or Pitt County Planning showing that feature is exempted from the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Regulations. The company also must obtain a no-rise certification for any portion of the mine located within the non-encroachment area and obtain N.C. Department of Transportation driveway permit and comply with all state requirements for driveway access.
The second sand mine request requires the Board of Commissioners to approve a rezoning request and a conditional-use permit. Both actions requires separate public hearings.
According to meeting agenda documents, Carol Peaden Brown wants to rezone 67 acres located on the southern side of N.C. 33 West, northwest of its intersection with Martin Luther King Jr. Highway, which is located in the Belvoir Township. Brown wants to change the zoning to rural agricultural instead of rural residential. The Pitt County Planning Board and planning staff recommend the change.
If approved, staff recommends the following conditions be added to the permit: obtain a floodplain development permit from Pitt County Planning Department prior to development; obtain a state transportation department driveway permit; and comply with all state requirements for driveway access. The final condition is to provide documentation to Pitt County Schools that any documented air-quality issues at Belvoir Elementary School which are related to the sand mine will be addressed by the property owner and/or mine operator.
The fourth public hearing on tonight's agenda is for a request to rezone .141 acres of property on the northern side of N.C. 30, southeast of its intersection with N.C. 903 North from rural residential to general commercial. The area is part of a .55-acre lot in the Stokes area that is near other general commercial property. Both staff and the planning board recommend the rezoning request.
■ A discussion on whether the Board of Commissioners will permit a fourth member of its board to attend this year's National Association of Counties conference in Clark County, Nev., the home of Las Vegas.
■ Register of Deeds Lisa Nichols is seeking permission to use her office's restricted fund balance to complete the preservation of 35 volumes of older documents in her office.

Q: Maven tomcat7 plugin starts app but is not accessible remotely I'm trying to deploy a Java application using the maven tomcat7 plugin.
I ran
mvn clean install tomcat7:run

And it was successful. But I can't access the application remotely.
This was part of the log:
[INFO] Running war on http://localhost:8080/cerberus

And I tried accessing IP:8080/cerberus, getting a "No webpage was found for the web address" error.
How can I make it work? Thank you in advance.

A: You need to open your port 8080 for outside network requests to access it.
If you're on Windows, here is how you can do that: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-3114787/open-firewall-ports-windows.html

A: I guess you IP is not a "outside ip" or you webapp not deploy success.
First ,you should check if you can get success from remote computer by ping
then ,check if you can access you webapp on localhost and the a computer which in the same LAN with the server.

A: The answer is that ufw was the culprit. Even though the port was allowed through it, it somehow was not letting outer connections in. I disabled it and used iptables instead.

am I using an old version of the package? Because I'm working with a notebook that Goutham Balaraman shared in 2016.
Thank you for your help !

A: The QuantLib functions and class methods are exposed from C++ through wrappers that perform type conversion from Python types to the underlying C++ types.  The obvious ones are defined (Python int to C++ int, Python float to C++ double, even Python int to C++ double if needed) but others are not.
In your case, the C++ function takes two doubles, but x and y are numpy types (you can check this with a print(type(x)) or print(type(x))).
y comes from np.arange(0, 2, 0.1) and is of type np.float64, which can converts to float and then C++ double.  x, instead, comes from np.arange(535, 750, 1) and is of type np.int64 which doesn't convert automatically to float, hence the error.
One way to make this work is to cast the variable explicitly, that is,
black_var_surface.blackVol(y, float(x))

Another is to use
plot_strikes = np.arange(535.0, 750.0, 1.0)

which generates an array of np.float64 instead of np.int64.

Spring brought a new crop of hottest housing markets, with some repeats and a couple new names to the list, according to the latest Top Single-Family Housing Markets Report from Ten-X, an online real estate marketplace.
The top five markets displayed the most consistent combination of rising home prices, home appreciation, favorable affordability and positive economic and demographic conditions for future demand.
Seattle and Portland's place in the top five represent the dominance of the Pacific Northwest driven largely by the technology sector, according to the report. The success in their housing markets is largely accredited to their local economic strength and healthy demographic trends.
The top markets in Florida demonstrate the ongoing recovery that continues to take place throughout the state.
"We're continuing to see a return to fundamentals driving the housing market, as cities with above average population growth and job creation are recovering much more rapidly," Ten-X Executive Vice President Rick Sharga said.
Although dropping in rank from the last report, Fort Lauderdale remains in the top five after erasing the devastation of the deep downturn that accompanied the housing crisis. The city's local employment is up 3.1% from last year, and its largest sector, the professional/business services had an employment increase of 7.7%.
Seasonally adjusted median sales are up 8% at $226,000.
Housing prices show room for advancement at 22% below their previous peak. Although inventory is expected to remain small, purchasing a single-family home is still more affordable than apartment rentals.
Palm Beach's pace has slowed since 2014. However, its market continues to improve. Seasonally adjusted employment is up 2.5% annually, with the professional/ business service sector increasing 6.7%. Alternatively, the outsized financial services sector declined by 4.5%, and the leisure/hospitality sector decreased by 2.1%.
Overall, the market continues to improve. Home prices increased by 14.1% from last year, the second highest increase in U.S. metros in the fourth quarter. The current median single-family home price is $247,000.
In fact, Palm Beach County ranks in the top 20 nationally for high-end sales in 2015, or transactions that start at $10 million, according to an article by Jeff Ostrowski for myPalmBeachPost.
Nashville is back in the top five for the first time in a year, according to the report. Nashville's success is credited in part to its gains from areas such as education/healthcare services, which saw payrolls increase by 3.9% from last year. Employment grew 6.2% annually due to downtown construction projects.
Median home prices are up 23.6% from their prior peak, and 11.6% from last year. Despite worries that the city is overbuilding, homes have remained affordable. Its population gain of 1.9% is more than double the national rate.
According to the Census Bureau, middle Tennessee gains about 100 people every day, including new births and relocations, according to an article by Adam Sichko for Nashville Business Journal.
Employment in Portland reached a new high, 7.2% above its previous peak, and unemployment sits at 4.8%. The area's largest sector, professional/business services, increased by 7.1% annually, and is now 21.5% above its previous peak. Median home sales are up by 12.4% annually, bringing the median to $331,000 in the fourth quarter. Although cheap apartment rentals create problems for affordability, the housing market in Portland continues to improve.
Many residents from San Francisco have begun migrating into Portland, Seattle, and surrounding areas in order to escape the ever increasing cost of living in San Francisco.
Seattle claims the title of hottest housing market for the third time in a row, according to the report. The city even ranked among the National Association of College Employers' top ten cities in the nation for recent college grads. The economy is booming with local payrolls up 3% annually, and the area's tech base up 5%. For the past decade, local population growth has outpaced U.S. population growth, The most recent measurement showed population growth at 1.7%.
Median home sales prices reached an all-time high at $425,000 last quarter, up 12.1% from last year. Affordability could be an issue going forward, currently however, the market continues to see a healthy demand.


"The Diary of The Secret Places"
When we exhibit "The Diary of The Secret Places", the audience would have access to various means of posting their comments and thoughts relating to their chosen photographs.
This project is our most exhibited one, and is continuously expanding, for we constantly take pictures of spaces we find interesting (and for some divine reason we frequently end up in such spots).
Up to this point, The Secret Agents' Map Installation has recurrently been elaborated within, thus displayed as part of, our exhibited works. It is simply a giant sized copy of a city map, any city, up on a wall; that acts as a communication device for the audience to interact, by responding to the map with utensils we provide. It is a light interactive piece with a frolicsome process, but yet tremendously informative. The interactive methods of retrieving the information from the audience are varied.
In one occasion the audience were asked to show where they were before coming to the exhibition, and where they are going after, by sticking colored dots (orange indicating the spots 'before', and yellow indicating the spots 'after'). In another case, we ask the audience to show a few spots on the map, sites where they have experienced intense emotions; like love, anger, fear, happiness, sadness, etc (each emotion indicated by different coloured sticky dots).
For the Open Studio in Jogjakarta, which was a presentation on the process and progress of the "We're OK, we're in Jogja" project (for the Artists in Residence Program of Ruang Mes 56, Jogjakarta), a giant map of Jogjakarta was provided for the interactive map installation. On this one, visitors were asked to respond to the map by pointing out where they usually go to see live music shows and art events, their favourite hang-out spots, where they work or go to school, and where they live in Jogja.
Beside resulting in a number of attractive looking super sized maps, filled with jellybeans coloured dots and pointers, the map installation pieces have also provided quite compelling datas on contemporary urban life, particularly in getting to know various sites from different perspectives.
The Secret Agents photo album is a collection of photographs taken by us or by our friends (with direction from us), of us posing our "Secret Agents" - like poses. We find photographs that have two people posing like in still photos for films very interesting, so we keep making those of ourselves.
Initially, Project Kost was part of an art project by The Secret Agents entitled "We're OK. We're in Jogja". It was developed while they stayed in Yogyakarta during their residency at MES 56 back in 2013, where they photographed 'kost' rooms around the city. This then set off another ongoing project by the duo, "Project Kost".
This is a series of photos of us taken in hotel rooms. We are both fascinated by hotel rooms. The older the hotel, the more interesting their rooms are. And we are collecting photographs of hotel rooms, wherever they are.
"Midnight Table Talks" is actually a number of projects, all within the same basic theme, which is simply "Us having a conversation with each other, as well as with other people who tickle our interest". It is sort of an interview, done by having a conversation. It is also our way of style in letting people in on our views on a variety of subjects.
The first "Midnight Table Talks" is a program on RuRuShop Radio (the world's first on-line contemporary art radio station, produced by ruangrupa, the reputable Jakarta based artists' initiative), hosted by The Secret Agents with guests. The topics are mostly art - music - films, and the connections between them. The talking parts are interspersed with the most excellent tunes.
"Midnight Table Talks" is also a video project, taping a series of conversations between The Secret Agents and friends from all kinds of backgrounds. The first one, which is still in production, features the founders of Cobra Magazine: Anggun Priambodo (video artist - film director) and Harlan Boer (musician - poet - writer).

RA Role Unique at AU
You are here: American University Campus Life News RA Role Unique at AU
By Patrick Bradley | March 1, 2012
Photo by Patrick Bradley.
Junior Iyad Ghanim works as a resident assistant in AU's McDowell Hall, where something is a little strange.
"I went to a conference for RAs in the region and met a lot RAs from other universities," he says. "You could definitely figure out that AU is a bit different."
Mary Criasia, a junior RA in Hughes Hall, is busy at work with her forty resident students. She's also noticed something unusual is going on at AU.
"My sister was an RA at her university," she says. "She didn't have much to do there…she decorated."
Both Ghanim and Criasia work in a living environment that's particular to AU. For AU students, learning doesn't end when they step out of the classroom. Instead, Housing and Dining Programs engages on-campus residents, building living/learning communities through each of its 75 RAs.
"AU is one of the first schools that started to build this curriculum for the resident assistant role," Criasia explains. "Other universities just throw pizza at residents and call it a hall event. We're supposed to build targeted learning outcomes based on student development theory."
Criasia and the other RAs develop curriculum that covers the entire semester. Focusing on the theme "Personal Health & Wellness," Criasia is offering her residents an in-hall zumba class, body image awareness programming, and financial wellness education. As her group is a politically-interested set of students, she's also organized State of the Union and Republican debates viewing parties.
Next door in McDowell Hall, Ghanim crafts his curriculum around programs that can help keep his residents safe throughout their college experience. With that in mind, he focuses on the four pillars of residential education curriculum – Civic Engagement, Multicultural Competence, Academic Excellence, and Personal Health & Wellness – making a point of highlighting alcohol issues each semester.
"The challenge for me is being creative about that and trying to get through to people about things they care about and want to know about without being overbearing," he says. "There are some things you can't learn in class, and that's something important to realize."
Other than the standard programming and events, Ghanim also oversees two residential community clusters on his hall of fifty-four students. In these clusters, students share suite-style living and focus on an educational topic throughout the semester. For Ghanim's hall, the two groups are focusing on Culture in the Holy Land and Arabic Language.
This unique educational approach to the RA role has had a profound impact on residents just as much as the RAs themselves. For Criasia, who wants to teach high school AP Government, it's been an ideal situation.
"I'm studying secondary education," she says, "and I know that a lot of the student development theory, curriculum building, and learning outcomes are going to translate directly into my professional life. That's great for me."
In his third semester as an RA, Ghanim finds himself in Criasia's position.
"Before, I wanted to go into criminalistics," he shares. "Now I want to go into teaching, definitely because of the RA job. I think it shifted me a little bit. I enjoy being around people I can influence and assist, answering questions. Being a resource has really intrigued me."
For Ghanim, though, the major perk of his job isn't the career direction he's found; it's being able to inspire residents through his programming and personal attention to each student.
"I feel like I've succeeded when a bunch of my residents tell me they're applying to be an RA," he says. "When they're inspired to do the job, that makes me feel better about what I do."
With their shared commitment to resident students, both Ghanim and Criasia represent a small piece of the work that shapes the whole student at AU – one of the many things that sets the university apart, or as Ghanim would say, makes it just "a bit different."


In light of California's ongoing drought and increasing interest in meeting its water needs through desalination of ocean water, Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment, through the Center for Ocean Solutions and Water in the West, collaborated with Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Nature Conservancy to facilitate an Uncommon Dialogue among cross-sector experts on the potential impacts of ocean desalination on coastal and marine ecosystems.
Over the course of two days in January 2016, leading experts from academia, non-governmental organizations, private industry, and government agencies gathered in Monterey to exchange information in an open exploration of the best available science, technology and policy related to desalination. Meeting participants also identified key issues, challenges and knowledge gaps in science and policy that should be explored in future work. The dialogue was organized around sessions that focused on the regulatory framework of desalination in California, siting and community impacts, seawater intakes, and brine disposal.
The organizing committee synthesized and summarized the proceedings and conclusions of that dialogue into this newly released report. Among the report's conclusions is that although desalination may prove critically important to specific coastal communities, it is unlikely to significantly alter the basic water budget in California due to its high cost, energy demands and other factors. In addition, the report recommends that California's new desalination policy be supplemented by research and policies designed to identify locations along the coast where the impacts on the marine environment can most easily be minimized.
As California's water needs and environmental policies continue to co-evolve, there will be an ever-greater demand for integrated, innovative solutions that consider a suite of environmental and socio-economic impacts. Accordingly, a strong sense of the meeting participants is that the likelihood of a sustainable future for water resources in the state will be greatly increased if relevant experts continue to strengthen cross-sectoral lines of communication similar to those employed during this two-day dialogue. Participants also agreed that an important follow up to the conference should be better focused efforts to communicate with the public in the state as a whole regarding both the potential and limitations of ocean desalination as a tool to address California's future water scarcity issues.

The NYPD Admits a Rookie Cop Killed a 'Total Innocent' Last Night
Another day, another disaster for everybody's favorite police force.
by John Surico
November 21, 2014, 9:54pm
Photo via Flickr user Fedjake
Seven months into his administration, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio began encountering something that has become a sort of litmus test for Gotham chieftains: the widely-publicized death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police officers. The tragic chokehold death of Staten Islander Eric Garner this July, a video of which has since become a memento of a tense summer nationwide, continues to fester.
Last night, it happened yet again in the depths of Brooklyn.
Akai Gurley. Twenty-eight years old. A black man. Shot by NYPD officer Peter Liang. Gurley and Melissa Butler, his girlfriend, were leaving her place in East New York's Pink Houses, a housing development prone to high crime, and decided to take the dimly-lit stairs on the eighth floor. Liang and his partner entered the staircase from a floor below. Liang, who had been on the force for 18 months, had his gun out, and accidentally shot Gurley. Gurley went on to die later in the night at a nearby hospital.
"The cop didn't present himself, he just shot him in the chest," Januce Butler, Melissa's sister, told the New York Times. "They didn't see their face or nothing."
What's most interesting about this tragedy is how New York City officialdom chose to respond. NYPD Commissioner William J. Bratton held a press conference early Friday at 1 Police Plaza, and told reporters exactly what advocates of police reform needed to hear. "The deceased is a total innocent who was not engaged in any criminal activity of any type," Bratton said. "It appears to be an accidental discharge, with no intention to impact anyone. A very unfortunate tragedy."
In essence, the Commissioner admitted that an officer under his command killed an innocent man who wasn't doing a damn thing wrong. And for many in New York, that admission by the top cop is news in itself: as Chris Smith points out, it's something that we haven't really seen since 2004, when Timothy Stansbury, 19 and unarmed, was accidentally killed by a police officer in a stairwell on his way to a birthday party. Back then, Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited the Stanburys and apologized almost immediately.
"Bratton isn't breaking new ground here," Eugene O'Donnell, a law enforcement expert at CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, told me. "But with Garner and Gurley, these are two totally different situations: one was the use of force, and one was an accident. But still, with Garner, it is the responsibility of the higher-ups to say that this was an irresponsible arrest for an unjust crime."
The thing is: that didn't happen. The day after Garner was killed, Bratton said he "personally [didn't] think race was a factor" in his death. Afterwards, he went on to defend broken windows policing, his style of law enforcement that targets men (mostly minority) like Garner for low-level infractions, or, in this case, selling illegal, cheap cigarettes on the streets. And, as of this article's publication, the grand jury is still debating whether to charge the officers with what the Medical Examiner's office has deemed as a homicide.
And then we have Mayor Bill de Blasio, who postponed his family trip to Italy when he heard the news of Garner's death. Soon after, the Brooklynite told his citizens to listen to the police when being arrested—translation: do not resist, like Mr. Garner did. More recently, the mayor voiced opposition to a City Council bill that would ban chokeholds, arguing that the "best way to handle that is through NYPD policy," even if that policy has its occasional fatal slip-up.
But with the death of Akai Gurley, a very different tone came from Mayor de Blasio Friday, as if he's learned a lesson or two about what the bully pulpit entails. "This is a tragic situation," he told reporters at an unrelated press conference. "We lost a life today, and I feel very humanly about that. But it does appear to be a tragic accident."
To satisfy a tense populace, Mayor Bill de Blasio may need more than just rhetoric. Especially when another video emerged of a guy getting the the shit beaten out of him by cops, this time for skipping a $2.50 subway fare—also a broken windows crime—on Thursday.
"Retraining will not solve this problem," Priscilla Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for Communities United for Police Reform, said in a statement. "Meaningful and swift accountability in cases of brutality and killing of unarmed people by the NYPD is required to send a message that police brutality and misconduct is unacceptable in NYC."
In other words: Your move, Bill.

Samsung Galaxy A80 with its super-cool flip camera is now available to buy
Samsung says you can now buy one of 2019's most innovative phones, the Galaxy A80. It just hasn't told us where, exactly.
Samsung proved that it could still innovate when it announced the Galaxy A80 back in April. It's taken a long time, but the unique phone is finally available to purchase.
The Korean company confirmed the Galaxy A80's availability in a news release, saying it was now available online and at physical retailers in select markets. Samsung didn't clarify these launch markets, but we've contacted the firm for more information and will update the article as soon as we hear more.
In any event, the phone's biggest selling point has to be its flip camera. The Galaxy A80 uses a combination of a slider and Oppo-style flip camera to create a rather unique mechanism. Check out the GIF below for a better idea of what it looks like in action.
The Galaxy A80 flip camera mechanism packs a 48MP main shooter, 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 3D ToF sensor. These shooters also serve as your selfie cameras thanks to the flip setup, of course.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10: What we expect
Other noteworthy features include an upper mid-range Snapdragon 730 chipset, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3,700mAh battery with 25-watt charging. Samsung's phone also packs an in-display fingerprint sensor below the 6.7-inch full HD+ OLED screen.
The new phone does however lack a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm port, which have been two Samsung fixtures over the years. It might not be the only Samsung phone to abandon the 3.5mm port though, as the Galaxy Note 10 is rumored to be ditching the standard too.
Samsung hasn't revealed pricing for the Galaxy A80 but Clove in the U.K. is selling the device for 616 pounds ($780, 688 euros), which would make it substantially more expensive than the Galaxy A70. The A70 is available for 369 pounds ($467, 412 euros) via the Samsung website. Keen to check out the new phone in more detail? Then you can visit the Samsung website or Clove via the buttons below.

stated on November 22, 2011 in a Republican debate in Washington:
Says Apple CEO Steve Jobs told President Obama that the company moved factories to China because it needed 30,000 engineers.
By Bill Adair November 22, 2011
Michele Bachmann says Steve Jobs told Obama he moved factories to China for engineers
At the Republican presidential debate in Washington, the conversation turned to immigration and the need to attract highly skilled immigrants to the United States.
To emphasize the need for more engineers, Rep. Michele Bachmann cited a comment that she said Apple CEO Steve Jobs made in a meeting with President Obama. She said Jobs "said to President Barack Obama that he had to move a great deal of his operation over to China because he couldn't find 30,000 engineers to be able to do the work that needed to be done. That's what we want to do."
Jobs' two meetings with Obama in 2010 and 2011 are detailed in the new biography of the Apple leader by author Walter Isaacson.
The book recounts the first meeting occurred at a hotel at the San Francisco airport in the fall of 2010. Isaacson, relying on accounts from White House aides and Jobs himself, wrote that Jobs told Obama bluntly, "You're headed for a one-term presidency" and urged the Democratic president to be more business-friendly. Jobs told Obama how easy it was to build a factory in China, in contrast to the difficulties caused by regulations and extra costs in the United States.
Isaacson's book says Jobs offered to put together a group of CEOs for another meeting, which was held early this year.
Featured Fact-check
stated on January 4, 2023 in a Facebook post
"Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican requested that President Biden not attend Benedict's funeral."
By Samantha Putterman • January 6, 2023
Jobs, who died Oct. 5, 2011, was looking thin and frail because of his cancer but still managed to be passionate about the need for more engineers.
"When Jobs' turn came," Isaacson wrote, "he stressed the need for more trained engineers and suggested that any foreign students who earned an engineering degree in the United States should be given a visa to stay in the country."
The book says that "Jobs went on to urge that a way be found to train more American engineers. Apple had 700,000 factory workers employed in China, he said, and that was because it needed 30,000 engineers on-site to support those workers. 'You can't find that many in America to hire,' he said. These factory engineers did not have to be PhDs or geniuses; they simply needed to have basic engineering skills for manufacturing. Tech schools, community colleges, or trade schools could train them.
"'If you could educate these engineers,' he said, 'we could move more manufacturing plants here.'"
Isaacson wrote that the argument "made a strong impression on the president. Two or three times over the next month he told his aides, 'We've got to find ways to train those 30,000 manufacturing engineers that Jobs told us about.'"
So Bachmann has accurately recounted the conversation. We rate her claim True.

For thousands of years, people all over the world have believed in the healing powers of mud. Its cleansing and healing properties have been known to man for many years. It is anti-inflammatory, packed with minerals and moisterizes and smooths the skin.
Nowadays many of us prefer all natural products, perhaps products that are vegan and haven't been tested on animals. And what is more natural than mud itself? Mineral mud masks are an easy and convenient way to treat your skin at home. They are the simpliest way to gain nutritional value for the skin by applying natural nutrients.
Mineral mud masks help to exfoliate dead skin cells, remove skin contaminants and torejuvenate damaged or troubled skin. It nurtures the skin with 25 beneficial minerals and trace elements, including zinc and sea botanicals.
1. Exfoliation: Mud is naturally going to dry out once applied to the face and, once it's scrubbed off, it's not hard to see that the exfoliation is really happening. It leaves the skin on the face very smooth.
2. Moisturize: Mud is deeply moisturizing. It gets deep into the pores and provides just enough for the skin not to become oily.
3. Blemishes: It helps to keep blemishes away. Washing your face is going to help keep blemishes away but mud also helps to reduce redness.
Not only can mud masks be use don the facial, as it is most commonly done, they can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the neck and back that are hard to reach areas to keep clean.
Our mineral mud mask is great for any skin type – white, black, Asian, Oriental, mixed race-, but it also raises money for poor children in Malawi. From every tub of mud mask sold, we donate a percentage to the Nourish the Children Foundation in Malawi that provides food and basic education to children and their families in Malawi. So, while making your skin feel and look great, you also help children in Malawi lead better lives.
Why not give this miracle mud mask a try? Even many celebs swear by a mineral mud mask as it keeps their skin smooth and clean. Drop us a line at Tiija.Rinta@gmail.com if you would like to order a tub that contains 30 applications for £25, of which £5 will be donated to the foundation. Who can resist thee beautiful smiles?

Surgeons' Estimated Standard Metabolic Equivalent, a Pilot Study.
To estimate surgeons' estimated standard metabolic equivalent (MET) in a pilot study from established METs.
From 70 observations including skiing, running, bicycling, consultations in outpatient clinic, cholecystectomy, endoscopy, and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography, energy used related to each of the physical activities to be calculated and from the results to estimate standard metabolic equivalent for an average surgeons' work related activities from the METS for skiing, running, and bicycling. A Garmin Forerunner XT310 was used for energy monitoring.
The mean Kcal per minute for all physical activities, skiing, running, and bicycling, were statistically significantly higher than the energy used for carrying out the surgeons work related activities. The means of energy used for the surgeons work related activities were one fourth of the physical activities; values were 2.437 Kcal per minute (40 observations) and 10.517 Kcal per minute (30 observations), respectively. Estimated METs for a surgeons work can thus be calculated from METs agreed upon for skiing, running, and bicycling (2011 Compendium of Physical Activities).
Surgeons' standard metabolic equivalent is in average one fourth of physical activities such as skiing, running, and bicycling. Details of calculations will be presented.


What are the Most Common Repetitive Strain Injuries?
You are here: Home / Repetitive Strain Injuries / What are the Most Common Repetitive Strain Injuries? How to Fight Them?
Carpal tunnel syndrome gets the most attention of all the most common repetitive strain injuries. It's frustrating when you scour the web for new information on these injuries. Much of the methodology for treating them hasn't changed. Little research has come out to combat the three injuries we mention below: radial tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome. We'll try to give you an idea of how to begin tackling these injuries and maybe some insight into recent research in all three of these strains.
When the ulnar nerve is pinched against the cubital tunnel and cannot 'travel' through it. The arm contains several different nerves and "tunnels" where these nerves extend through the arm and toward the spine if you will. In this case, the outer edge of the elbow is one of those pathways. Minor versions of this same injury are akin to your arm falling asleep, say when you wake up having slept on it or bending your elbow at a sharp angle for a long period of time. Pain won't necessarily become persistent, but if it does be sure to straighten out your arm when you sleep, and don't bend your arm unnecessarily when you are experiencing pain.
There are surgical options if this gets really bad. Endoscopic ulnar neurolysis is one of them. One Chinese follow up study (from the Department of Orthopedics, East Hospital, Tongji University, Shanghai) looked at neurolysis procedures found they were generally successful. Other studies have been careful to pinpoint different surgical procedures for different symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome.
One way to hurt your neck and shoulder is aggravating the area between your collar bone and the top of your ribs. A weak grip is the more serious symptom, as well as numbness and tingling. Shoulder stretches that focus on on the collar bone will alleviate the pain and get the area on track. One stretch prescribes hunching your shoulders forward and back to neutral, plus the opposite arching them backward and then back into the neutral position.
There have been experiments with scalene muscle injections to treat pain in this area. One abstract presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (yes, it exists) found that there was near universal pain relief, though about half the patients experienced some sort of numbness. The treatment looks promising according to the report.
The radial nerve that wraps around the triceps of your upper arm is potentially subject to repetitive strain injuries. It's actually a matter of debate whether or not this would fall into that rubric, but treatment is very similar to things like carpal tunnel syndrome. There's a combo of rest and certain range of motion exercises (ROM exercises). As we've described elsewhere, one exercise involves extending the arms out with the fingers dipped down. Then gently pull those fingers back and hold for 30 seconds.
Doctors have been evaluating the effect surgery's had on more severe cases. A 2009 article in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery found that more than 80% of patients were satisfied with the results, while half those who weren't actually were later diagnosed with something else. Surgery is generally rare. There were less than 60 surgeries evaluated overall and only 43 follow ups where patients were surveyed. In general though, the surgery seems to have a positive effect on sufferers.
There are definitely more to be on the look out for. Most of the news about these injuries will generally be found on Google Scholar – not in the News sections of your local newspapers or even the daily blogs. If you are trying to follow updates, be sure to check this resource.


Based in Tel Aviv, art cooperative New Barbizon was established in 2011 and includes five members, artists Zoya Cherkassky, Olga Kundina, Anna Lukashevky, Asya Lukin and Nataliyah Zourabova. All were born, raised and trained in traditional art academies in the former USSR, and decided to explore a foundation of working together that pairs individual studio practices with collaborative projects.

You have probably met a lot of people who have come to a certain age and don't want to listen to any other brand instead of their own favorites because they are absolutely sure they know best, right? Well, there is a coffee brewer that will make you act like that.
Of course, we are talking about a brewer that has been on the best-selling lists for a few years now, and it still has some of the best features which are very hard to find. Keep on reading our Gaggia Classic review to find out why people have been relying on this brewer for ages. After all, there is a saying: "Once you find perfection, you don't want anything less than that." So, take a look at why you might need to change your brewer into the all-time classic – the Gaggia classic.
Although a lot of people have been confused by the fact that this brewer comes at a very cheap price and don't expect much, you'd be surprised how much quality it actually offers. For instance, this budget-friendly coffee brewer is excellent for both beginners and advanced baristas for many reasons. Asides from the excellent price, it offers a taste of coffee that is rare to find.
Features-wise, we should note the amazing reservoir filter flap. Users from around the world have noticed how handy it is and how convenient coffee-making is with it.
In addition to this, this brewer has a design that is simply hard to miss. It has an industrial touch which makes up for a stylish and modern kitchen, and yet, it fits perfectly in more antique kitchens too. It doesn't take up too much space in it can be placed practically anywhere.
If you take into consideration that this brewer has been around for many years, with a few upgrades from time to time. However, there is an absolute reason why this coffee maker has withstood the challenge of time and quality. After all, it is one of the best-selling brewers from throughout the world.
The design, as you can see in the photos, is mostly metal. When a brewer is made from metal, you know that you can expect a few things. For instance, the stainless steel on the external parts adds a touch of sophistication. Compared to other similarly priced brewers with similar features, this one is a lot more durable. The similarly priced ones are made mostly of plastic, and this material is definitely weaker than Gaggia's metal.
Still, the amazing functionality is intact. As we said previously in our Gaggia Classic review, this brewer offers a vast choice of different features and it is simply easy to use.
There are a few things that deserve our attention regarding the Gaggia Classic. Although it looks just like any other brewer, this one has extra features and options for the user. First of all, we should talk about the drip tray. It stands perfectly in its place and does its job. Also, the seat is properly molded and your cup can easily stand still there.
Secondly, we should note the steel boiler on this brewer. This boiler heats water perfectly and fastly, without ruining the taste, as many others do. Also, the fact that it is made from steel ensures that this machine has longevity. It is corrosion-resistant and makes sure that you get to use your brewer for many years to come, making it a worthy investment.
At the end of our Gaggia Classic review, we have to note that this brewer is exactly what you need if you are searching for an excellent value and quality from a reliable manufacturer like this one.


Former Bangladesh Bank governor Dr Mohammed Farashuddin has come down heavily on the "anomalous" banking sector, saying that looting continues in the sector in the name of mobile banking in absence of a proper regulatory framework. He was addressing as the chief guest a discussion arranged by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) at the Shilpakala auditorium in Dhaka, marking the national anti-graft agency's 13th founding anniversary on Tuesday. He said: "I express strong disapproval of the so-called mobile banking services... As the authorities went directly for technology advancement rather than form a regulatory framework, the looting is continuing in the name of mobile making. "This is why Bangladesh Bank has already closed down several hundred thousands mobile banking accounts and revoked licences of many agents." Sharing his personal experience, he said: "Recently, I went to such an agent to send some money to one of my teachers in Bogra. The agent on the receiving end deducted money from the amount sent, even though I have been charged 2% on the transaction, while one has to pay only Tk0.5 per transaction through banks." The former governor urged the ACC to identify causes of the widespread corruption and fight it out effectively, according to UNB. "ACC is unlikely to get the desired results by arresting thousands of lower-grade public officials...it should focus on nabbing high-ups," he said, adding that the ACC, National Board of Revenue, and Bangladesh Bank should work together to prevent corruption by forming institutional teams. There is no alternative but to prevent corruption to ensure sustainable development in the country, he stressed. Underscoring the need for creating a strong social movement to make people aware of the adverse effects of graft, Farashuddin urged media and civil society to play a strong role in this regard. Terming corruption and development twin brothers, ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmood said if the regulatory framework, including the ACC, works effectively, it will be possible to check the menace. He said public officials, civil society and media people must work together to check corruption in the country.


Set a goal. Having a personal goal is an amazing motivational tool—you'll feel good as you make progress towards it each week, which can help keep you on track. You don't want it to feel impossible though, which is why the best kinds of goals are small. Maybe it's being able to run for 10 minutes without stopping or doing one new workout class a week for a month. Once you hit that goal, come up with the next one and make it a little harder. Soon your 10 push-ups will turn into 25 and, before you know it, you'll be able to do 50!
Bring a buddy. Making plans to go to the gym with a friend makes it a lot harder to skip your workout. Try to pick someone who is emotionally supportive—you can both encourage each other as you go after your goals. It's also a lot easier to try a new class or intimidating piece of equipment when you have a friend by your side.
Make sure you're having fun. Don't force yourself to do a workout you hate. Instead, experiment with different activities until you find one you love. Try a Zumba class, hop on your bike or sign up for yoga—there are lots of different options for working out in Michigan, so don't make yourself do something you don't enjoy.
What are your tips for getting back into your workout routine? Share with us in the comments.
Good tips. I would add that I have broken up my daily routine in to short time frames. This works when I am crunched for time – and to deal with the "I don't have time to exercise" excuse I used to give. As an example, I would do 10 minutes in the morning, 10 during lunch, and 10 more minutes later in the day. When busy I found it easier to do them in smaller time amounts.
Working out is one of the things that a lot of people wants to do. I think its a great idea to share this information. Thank you for taking time to post this!
Great ideas! It's always great to bring a friend with you to work out. It's motivational and also keeps you company. Thanks so much for sharing!
Small goals, like you said in your article, are key. As long as you just show up and do your best at each workout, you can start small and slowly build up. The key is just to do *something*, no matter how small it all adds up.
Thanks for sharing this post, hope to read more from you in the future!
One of the best things about workouts is the fact that you can create the best fitness routines for yourself.
Thanks for sharing such an awesome tips for the workout. I hope you will share some more info about workout. Please keep sharing!
which tips is perfect for me ?
Thanks for sharing the information, it would be helpful to motivate people to restart workout again.
Thanks Patty! Glad we could help.
Restart workout after a long time is harder but it depends upon the will power of a person to achieve a goal.
Great article well written and informative as well as helpful. Thanks for sharing these fitness tips.
Thanks Marloney! We're happy you found it useful and enjoyed it.

Anderson wears the number 9 in honor of a high school friend by the name of Mike Pennerman, who died as a result of injuries he suffered in a high school football game. As a high school player at Bethel High School, Anderson was a two-time Vallejo Times Herald MVP and first-team selection. He rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his prep career as he led his squad to four consecutive playoff appearances, including a spot in the Sac-Joaquin Section title game as a junior in 2007 when he was named the Vallejo Times Herald Athlete of the Year.
Before going to Cal, Anderson went to Laney College where he was second in the state of California and the NorCal conference leader in rushing as a sophomore in 2010 racking up 1,644 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. In his freshman year there, he rushed for 693 yards and three touchdowns. In 2011, at Cal, Anderson had 72 carries for 345 yards and eight touchdowns. As a senior, he had 126 carries for 790 yards and four touchdowns.


Do You Agree To The Terms and Conditions? Mobile Devices And The Tipping Point of Informed Consent.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone, in the entire history of computing, has every bothered to read and consider the contents of a typical End User License Agreement (EULA). Some Product Manager, I suppose (though truthfully, I'm not even sure of this one).
The EULA, however, is important. It's the foundation of an important consent ceremony that ends with only one effective choice: pressing OK. This much-maligned step in every software installation is the only real binding between an end user and a provider of software. Out of this agreement emerges a contract between these two parties, and it is this contact that serves as a legal framework for interpretation should any issues arise in the relationship.
Therein lies the rub, as the emphasis in a EULA—as in so much of contract law—is on legal formalism at the expense of end user understanding. These priorities are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but as any lawyer will tell you, it's a lot more work to make them co-exist on more of less equal footing.
Mobile devices, however, may provide the forcing function that brings change into this otherwise moribund corner of the software industry. Mobility is hot right now, and its demanding that we rethink process and technology all over business. These new demands are going to extend to the traditional EULA, and the result could be good for everyone.
Case in point: the New York Times reported recently on a study conducted by the FTC examining privacy in mobile apps for children. The researchers found that parents were not being adequately informed about what private information was being collected and the extent to which it could be shared. Furthermore, many mobile app developers are channeling data into just a few commercial analytics vendors. While this may not sound like too big a deal, it turns out that in some cases these data are tagged with unique device identifiers. This means that providers can potentially track behavior across multiple apps, giving them unprecedented visibility into the online habits of our children.
You could argue that there is nothing new about this problem. Desktop applications have the same capacity for collecting information and so pose similar threats to our privacy. The difference is mostly the devil we know. After years of reading about the appalling threats to our privacy on the Internet, we have come to expect these shenanigans and approach the conventional web guarded and wary. Or we don't care (see Facebook).
But the phone, well the phone is just… different. A desktop—or even our mobile laptop—just isn't as ubiquitous a part of our lives as our phone. The phone goes with us everywhere, which makes it both a triumph of technology and a tremendous potential threat to our privacy.
The problem with the phone is that it is the consumer device that isn't. Apple crossed a chasm with the iPhone, taking the mobile device from constrained (like a blender) to extensible (like a Lego set) without breaking the consumer-orientation of the device. This was a real tour de force—but one with repercussions both good and bad.
The good stuff we live every day—we get to carefully curate our apps to make the phone our own. I can't imagine traveling without my phone in my pocket. The bad part is we haven't necessarily recognized the privacy implications of our own actions. Nobody expects to be betrayed by their constant companion, but it is this constant companion that poses the greatest threat to our security.
The good news is that the very characteristics that make mobile so popular also promise to bring much needed transparency to the user/app/provider relationship. Consumer-orientation plus small form factor equal a revolution in privacy and security.
Mobile devices tap into a market so vast it dwarfs the one addressed by the humble PC. And this is the group for which consumer protection laws were designed. And as we've seen in the Delta Airlines case above, the state's have a lever, and apparently they aren't afraid to use it.
But legislation is only part of the answer to reconcile the dueling priorities of privacy and consent. The other element working in favour of change is size, and small is definitely better here. The multi-page contract just isn't going to play well on the 4″ screen. What consumer's need is a message that is simple, clear, and understandable. Fortunately, we can look to the web for inspiration on how to do this right.
One of the reasons I get excited about the rise of OAuth is because it represents much more than yet another security token (God knows we have enough of those already). OAuth is really about granting consent. It doesn't try to say anything about the nature of that consent; but it does put in the framework to make consent practical.
Coincident with the rise of OAuth on the Web is a movement to make the terms of consent more transparent. This needs to continue as the process moves to the restricted form factor of the mobile phone. I have no doubt that left to their own devices, most developers would take the easy route out and reduce mobile consent to a hyperlink pointing to pages of boilerplate legalese and an OK button. But add in some regulatory expectations of reasonable disclosure, and I can see a better future of clear and simple agreements that flourish first on mobile devices, but extend to all software.
Here at Layer 7 we are deeply interested in technologies like OAuth, and the role these play in a changing computer landscape. We are also spending lots of time working on mobile, because more than anything mobile solutions are driving uptake around APIs. When we built our mobile application gateway, we made sure this solution made OAuth simple to deploy, and simple to customize. This way, important steps like consent ceremonies can be made clear, unambiguous, and most important, compliant with the law.

Few wind, rainfall warnings remain as Sandy loses strength
CTVNews.ca Staff Published Tuesday, October 30, 2012 4:29AM EDT Last Updated Tuesday, October 30, 2012 10:36PM EDT
Only a handful of rainfall and storm-surge warnings in Canada remained in effect Tuesday evening as post-tropical storm Sandy continued to weaken as it moved inland.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre said Tuesday afternoon that Sandy continued to "weaken rapidly," and had lost all of its tropical characteristics.
While wind and rain continued in southern Ontario, which was most severely impacted by the storm, Quebec and in Atlantic Canada, the worst appeared to be over.
However, the wet weather is expected to continue in the region through much of the week.
"It's going to continue to linger because of the slow-moving nature of the storm at this point," Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson told The Canadian Press.
"We're still going to be dealing with on and off shower activity through much of southern Ontario and southern Quebec during the course of the next few days."
In Nova Scotia, Queens, Yarmouth and Shelburne counties remained under rainfall warnings Tuesday night. Environment Canada said between 40 and 50 millimetres could fall over the region by Wednesday morning.
The agency also forecast between 30 and 50 mm of rain for parts of southern New Brunswick, including St. Stephen, Grand Manan and Northern Charlotte counties.
As of Tuesday evening, Confederation Bridge remained closed to high-sided vehicles and several flights were cancelled out of Halifax airport.
Storm surge warnings were also in effect for parts of central and eastern Quebec on Wednesday. Rainfall was also expected to total between 20 and 40 mm in that region.
As Sandy moved over western Pennsylvania Tuesday night, residents in southern Ontario and Quebec still had wet and windy conditions to deal with, as crews worked to clear debris from streets and restore power to thousands of homes.
Damaging winds that accompanied the storm weakened throughout the day, with Environment Canada ending the final wind warning in the Sarnia-Lambton region of southwestern Ontario early Tuesday afternoon.
However, forecasters warn that parts of Ontario and western Quebec could see snow before the system is gone.
Northern Ontario could get a mix of snow, freezing rain and ice pellets, with wind gusts of up to 60 km/h.
According to Coulson, the storm will move north and then east before petering out over the St. Lawrence Valley.
One dead as effects of Sandy hit Canada
At the height of the storm, 150,000 Ontarians were without electricity as the storm downed power lines throughout the province. As of Tuesday evening, 14,500 Hydro One customers remained without power.
Approximately 50,000 people in Quebec were without power at the height of the storm, about 1,700 of them living in Montreal. Hydro-Quebec has said the number will fluctuate as they try to resolve the problem.
Those blustery winds have been blamed for one death in Toronto, after a falling sign blown by 65 km/h gusts struck and killed a woman walking in the city's west end.
Officials south of the border say 48 people in seven states died in the storm. Sandy was already blamed for 69 deaths in the Caribbean.
Several cruise ships diverted to ports on Canada's East Coast on Tuesday, hoping to wait out the perilous conditions at sea. The storm also bungled plans for thousands of air travellers across the globe.
According to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, more than 13,500 flights had been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday. The bulk of those cancellations were related to post-tropical storm Sandy.
Traveller Ernest Dharmapala showed up at the Ottawa International Airport on Tuesday, only to find that his flight had been pushed back 10 hours.
"When I reached the airport, they told me that the next flight to Washington is set late in the evening," he told CTV Ottawa. "I guess I'll have to go back and spend more time in the hotel."
Similarly, scores of delays marked by red lights lit up departure boards in Toronto and Montreal.
Via Rail Canada said Tuesday that its trains within Canada were operating according to the regular schedule, however, the Montreal-New York train was cancelled while the Toronto-New York train would only travel as far as Albany, New York.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews had said the military and the Canadian Coast Guard were on standby to provide assistance as needed.
The Red Cross also had hundreds of volunteers on standby, and Health Canada had taken stock of its National Emergency Stockpile.
Bob Robichaud, of the Canadian Hurricane Centre, said while Sandy struck late in hurricane season, there could be more Atlantic storms to come.
"Hurricane season ends Nov. 30 and there have been tropical cyclones and hurricanes pretty much every month of the year. So even though this is a late storm, the season is not over for another month so we have to be prepared for them."
Sandy crashed ashore in Atlantic City, N.J. on the U.S. east coast Monday evening, officially stripped of its hurricane status but still making landfall packing winds of 130 km/h.

This demo video features a couple custom scripts that help me create and manipulate compositions organized in accordance with The Grid System.
Soon after reading a formative book on The Grid System, I took the rules it defined and built a script that would allow me to generate and arrange compositions in alignment with those specifications. I then went further, building scripts that would allow me to easily restructure the size and dimensions of those compositions. After that, I was just on a roll and created scripts that would allow me to toss assets into compositions or clear assets from compositions by only highlighting layers that referenced those compositions. I then decided to group all these scripts together into one easily accessible graphical user interface and tool.
Below is an updated version of the script that enables me to add an image that transcends the boundaries of the comps I select.
Below is an older version of the scripts in action, before I decided to create the Graphical User Interface you see above.

WATCH: Coast Guardsman Leaps Onto Cocaine-Packed Narco Submarine
A US Coast Guardsman makes a daring leap to run down a self-propelled, semi-submersible Narco submarine carrying more than 16,000 pounds of cocaine.
U.S. Coast Guardsmen conducted a daring raid recently, braving high seas to jump onto a speeding Narco submarine. The drug interdiction mission lead to the seizure of more than 16,000 pounds of cocaine.
WATCH: John Chapman's Fight, First-Ever Medal of Honor Action Recorded
Body camera footage shows a wild, precarious pursuit. The Narco submarine highlighted a series of 14 drug interdiction missions off Central and South America. The total haul of seizures swelled to more than 39,000 pounds of cocaine and 933 pounds of marijuana. The combined street value of the drugs reached an estimated $569 million.
Coast Guard Intercepts Narco Submarine
"The narcotics were seized in 14 U.S. Coast Guard busts off Central and South America, including this harrowing interdiction of a self-propelled semi-submersible vessel carrying over 16,000 pounds of cocaine," said a Coast Guard post on Facebook. "We disrupt the cocaine profits drug cartels use to diversify and fund other illicit activities like trafficking opioids and methamphetamines, and we do it at sea where they are most vulnerable."
Vice President Mike Pence attended a ceremony July 11 at Naval Air Station North Island, near San Diego. The ceremony honored the crew of Coast Guard cutter Munro as it offloaded approximately 20 tons of cocaine seized by three cutters between May and July, according to a U.S. Coast Guard report.
"I came here today on behalf of your commander in chief and the American people to say thank you for a job well done," Pence told the crew, as reported by navytimes.com. "And welcome home."
Numerous U.S. agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security, cooperated in the mission. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard increased its presence in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Basin, which are known drug transit zones, according to the Coast Guard. U.S. Coast Guard personnel led each interdiction, including boarding of the vessels.
