We've reached the end of Week 27, which means the beginning of the third trimester! Baby weighed 2 pounds and 4 ounces at our ultrasound this week, which puts him in the 49th percentile (the doctor says this is average, and therefore good!) Baby is also dancing around a lot in there and seems happiest after I eat. I've been collecting vintage sweaters for our little guy's new wardrobe, and am trying to decide how to best lay out the nursery. We can't believe we're just 12 weeks away from our due date. It seems so soon, and yet still so far away when I think about how wonderful it will be to hold our sweet little boy!

Released on this day in 1994, The Notorious B.I.G.'s debut album READY TO DIE is a landmark of East Coast gangsta rap. Biggie and producer Sean "Puffy" Combs had begun work on such songs as "Gimme the Loot," "Things Done Changed" and the title track the preceding year for another label; by the time they returned to the studio to cut these versions, the rapper's confidence and flow had improved immeasurably. A look at the allure and danger of the thug life, the album tells its frequently grim tales with the cinematic detail and emotional perspective that could only come from a veteran of the streets. READY TO DIE has been cited by the likes of The Source, Rolling Stone and Time as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s; the remastered version adds bonus tracks "Who Shot Ya" and "Just Playing (Dreams)" to the original.

The RDA Community called to contribute to the Open Consultation on the future of EOSC
Home » EOSC » The RDA Community called to contribute to the Open Consultation on the future of EOSC
On 20th July, the EOSC Executive Board published an open consultation on the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The consultation, which closes on 31st of August 2020, asks for the input of EOSC communities and beyond in setting out the future vision of the European Open Science Cloud. The Research Data Alliance provides a unique international forum for the EOSC, therefore the RDA community is invited to contribute to this Open Consulation.
The open consultation is part of the move towards the next phase of the EOSC and the creation of a legal entity. A first proposal, the 'European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Partnership' setting out the structure for this entity, was published in May. The SRIA document builds on the EOSC Partnership proposal by drawing from its structure, the work of the Executive Board & its Working Groups and input from stakeholders in order to set out a full and strategic vision. It is imperative to the success of EOSC that its communities directly shape this vision. Therefore, it is vital that stakeholders participate in the creation of the SRIA through the open consultation launched today. Research organisations and universities including their IT departments, individual researchers, policymakers, industry representatives and citizens are all welcome and strongly encouraged to respond.
Input from the Open Consultation will be used to formulate the SRIA v1.0, due for publication in October and presented at the EOSC Symposium 2020 which will be held online in the week of 18 October. The SRIA will accompany the MoU which will be signed between the EOSC Association and the European Commission, thus forming the EOSC co-programmed partnership.
The EOSC will contribute to a "Web of FAIR Data and Related Services for Science", enhancing the possibilities for researchers to find, share and reuse publications, data, and software leading to new insights and innovations, higher research productivity and improved reproducibility in science. The benefits of Open Science and the EOSC address the 3 pillars of the European Commission's Horizon Europe Programme: Better science, societal challenges and innovation. The EOSC ecosystem belongs to everyone in the scientific community and will be able to provide unbridled access to resources, datasets and services for researchers across Europe.
About this Open Consultation
Before completing the consultation, respondents are advised to first read the draft SRIA consultation document which sets out its draft general framework and provides key information. The consultation comes in the form of an online questionnaire where the respondent can give their views on topics such as EOSC's guiding principles, areas of action and strategic objectives. This includes information related to rewarding open science practices and skills; standards, tools and services to find, access and reuse results, and shared and federated infrastructures to enable open sharing of scientific results.
A webinar introducing the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) will be held on Tuesday, 28 July 2020, 11:00-12:00 CEST. It will offer an overview of the consultation document which was released on 20th July and explain the consultation process. Those interested can register to attend here.
Help shape the future of EOSC, take part in the open consultation here!

We provide trays of small pots in the spring most of which produce a blooming plant the first year and a full size plant the next.
We do not ship live plants.
Date of availability depends on species (e.g. some are warm season and don't start growth until temperatures warm in mid-May). The more lead time we have for your project, the more easily we can time the plants to be available when you need them.

Q: Difference between the ways of function calls I have noticed that (at least in React) there are different ways to call a function. I'd say:
onClick={myFunction}
onClick={myFunction()}
onClick={()=>myFunction}
onClick={()=>myFunction()} /*Not sure if I've seen this type*/

Being the case all are correct, what are the difference between them?

A:
onClick={myFunction}

Assigns myFunction to onClick.

onClick={myFunction()}

Calls myFunction immediately and assigns the return value (which needs to be another function) to onClick.
This is often an error caused by people not understanding how () works and wanting the previous syntax.

onClick={()=>myFunction}

Creates a new function and assigns it to onClick.
The new function mentions myFunction but doesn't do anything with it. It is a noop.
It is always a mistake.

onClick={()=>myFunction()}

Creates a new function, which calls myFunction, and assigns it to onClick.
This is usually a waste of resources. It is useful only if myFunction would do something with the event object that onClick passes to the event handler when called and you want to prevent that.
If you were to pass arguments to myFunction (which this example does not) then it would be more generally useful.

I first discovered Zork around 1995. Now, I am a diehard fan.
What is Zork? Zork is a text adventure game created in 1979, by MIT students. Since then the game has become something of a legend. This is the game that first introduced us to the grue, the "boarded up white house," and the idea of being stuck in "a maze of twisty passages, all alike." What many people love about the game is that in spite of, (or perhaps because of) the fact that it was created at MIT, it has a very twisted sense of humor. The Zork series is now quite large, and has even spawned parodies.
All the official games here are copyright of Activision, which bought out Infocom. The latter was the company founded by the creators of Zork to sell the series, as well as the many other text games they created. The unofficial games are copyright of their individual writers. Games NOT found online: Return to Zork, Zork Nemesis, and Zork Grand Inquisitor. To find these games, check you local video game store, Activision's website, or eBay.
Note: To play these games, you will need an interpreter, and possibly other materials (maps, "feelies", and the like) that came with the original games. Please check the links below to find these items.
The Zork Games I own are Zorks I, II, and II, Nemesis, Beyond Zork, Return to Zork, the Undiscovered Underground, Zork Grand Inquisitor, and Zork 0, as well as the two parodies (Porks I and II), both ZorkQuests, and all the unofficial games. Below are descriptions for each of the games in the series, where they can be found, and some links to various site around the net with information on Zork. The reviews for the unofficial games will be up eventually.
One last note before the game descriptions: If you love Zork (or are at least interested, go onto The Zork Library page, and SIGN THE PETITION!
Zork Zero: The Revenge of Megaboz
While this game came out after the original trilogy, it is the prequel to the entire series. This was one of the first Zork games to utilize graphics and a mouse, which didn't exist when the first three came out. However, it is still a text adventure game. It also includes an in-game mapping feature, which comes in handy, as well as a compass on the top of the screen, in case you forget which directions you can go at any given spot. Also included are in-games hints.
The game starts 94 years in the past. You witness the Curse that will cause the downfall of the empire being cast, as well as the death of King Dimwit Flathead. If you survive this section, the game goes to the title screen... and you wake up in the present, on the day the empire collapses. Your goal now is to try to break the curse by fetching 24 treasures that belonged to the 12 Flatheads. (Dimwit and his 11 sibs.) When you are done, you become the first Dungeon Master, guardian of the land of Quendor. Along the way, you must deal with the Jester. Check out the game's version of the Encyclopedia Frobozzica, especially the illustrated entries. Look in the hints section to find out which they are.
This game was included in the Zork Anthology CD, and originally came with a blueprint, a note snatched from Megaboz, and a calendar with information about each of the 12 Flatheads.
The Original Zork Trilogy
Zork I: The Great Underground Empire
This is the first game in the trilogy that started it all. Originally called Dungeon, it was too large for most computers at the time, and was broken into 3 sections, which became the original Zork Trilogy.
In Zork I, you are introduced to the Land of Quendor, also known as the Great Underground Empire. Your only starting equipment is an Elven sword, and an old brass lantern. You must battle the Thief, and the Troll, and outwit the Cyclops, as well as sail the mighty Aragain River, and go Over The Rainbow. You must fetch each of the 20 treasures of Zork, return them to the Trophy Case, and then find the entrance to Zork 2.
This game is found on the Lost Treasures of Infocom: Volume I, and Zork Anthology CDs. Also, Activision has released all three original games on the web, and they can be downloaded for free. The link is below.
Here you meet the Wizard of Frobozz, a senile mage who can only cast spells beginning with the letter "F." These include "Freeze", "Fatigue", and "Fudge." (The last one turns things into fudge. :9) Sorry, Shad, "Fireball" isn't one of them. ;) Also found here is the infamous Carousel Room, the unicorn, and the dragon. Your mission is to get all three orbs and free the demon, so you can get the wand from the wizard and move on to Zork III. Zork II is available for download on the web, and also appears on the Lost Treasures of Infocom: Volume I, and Zork Anthology CDs.
Zork III: The Dungeon Master
Zork III ties up the loose ends left by the first two Zorks. Here, you find out your purpose for being in Quendor, and ultimately become the second Dungeon Master. Also, you finally find the spot where you must utter the words "Hello Sailor." This phrase has become a running gag in the series. As with the other two original Zorks, this game can be found on both the Internet, and the Zork Anthology CD.
The Enchanter Trilogy
This was the first game of the Enchanter Trilogy, which some people argue isn't true Zork. However, it helps fill in a few gaps, and is set in the GUE.
I recently aquired Enchanter, and loved it. You are an apprentice enchanter, who is sent to defeat the evil wizard Krill. Why you? Because you're so insignificant Krill would never suspect you. You have a spellbook with a few spells you can learn, and there are scrolls with additional spells scattered throughout the game. If you win the game, you become a full fledged Enchanter. I found this game online, and it is also available on several of the Infocom collections.
After defeating Krill, you move on to the second game in the Enchanter trilogy. Now your task is to defeat the demon Jeear, who has possessed the Head of the Circle of Enchanters, Belboz. You start with a few more spells than in Enchanter, including the famous Fweep spell. (Turns the caster into a bat.) Also in this game is the infamous Glass Maze. If you win, you become the Head of the Circle. This game is also available online, and in various Infocom collections.
The final game in the Enchater trilogy. Spellbreaker provides a bit of a prequel to Beyond Zork. The Circle of Enchanters, except for yourself, has been turned into newts. You must track down the perpretrator, and find the Cubes of Foundation. Again, Spellbreaker can be found on the web, and in many Infocom collections.
Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor
This is my favorite game on the Zork Anthology CD. Unlike the rest of the games, you do not start out with a set character. Instead, you are given the option of using the default character, one with preset attributes, or creating your own. The 6 attributes you can play with are Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Compassion, and Luck. All come in handy during the game, and your actions can add or subtract percentage points from them. Also, you can level during this game, gaining experience points by fighting monsters. Use the magical objects you find, as well... they definitely come in handy.
Meet the Implementors, who "created this world as a plaything" (yes, the game's creators wrote themselves in), and the Old Woman who runs the three shops found around the area. You even acquire a couple pets along the way! Beyond Zork was the very first Zork game to use graphics, in the form of an onscreen map, and a box set aside for room descriptions and status updates. You need to retrieve the Coconut of Quendor, (lost through your own stupidity to an Ur-Grue), which will bring about the end of the Age of Magic in Quendor.
Beyond Zork originally came with "The Lore and Legends of Quendor," which is interesting to read even without playing the game. This is the last Zork game found on the Zork Anthology CD. The sixth game on the CD, Planetfall, is not part of the Zork series. However, there is a description of it at the bottom of the page.
Return to Zork
This was the very first fully graphic Zork game. When it came out, some people refused to accept it as a "true" Zork game, because it wasn't a text adventure. However, it keeps the original spirit of the original games. This was also the first Zork to use sound. In fact, the game is impossible to finish *without* sound. (Literally. Trust me, I tried.) RTZ is set 700 years after Beyond Zork.
In Return to Zork, you arrive at the former Valley of the Sparrows, after winning a sweepstakes. You start out with a camera (go on, be a shutterbug!), a knife, scrapbook, tape recorder, and a Teleorb with a dying battery. Along the way, you meet some of the inhabitants of Zork. You can talk to them, change your reaction to their statements, and ask them about your inventory. The interface is purely point and click, and you no longer have the option of leaving for an hour between turns. (In the earlier games, time didn't pass unless you typed in an action.) The game comes with a copy of the Encyclopedia Frobozzica, which you will need to finish. Trivia questions are asked at several points in the game, as copyright protection.
Zork: The Undiscovered Underground
Released with Zork Grand Inquisitor, this is the newest text only Zork. The prequel to ZGI, you get to explore parts of the Empire that were inaccessible before. It reminded me of a parody, but was still fun to play. The only problem I found was that although the sword is supposed to be used to open the cage, it kept breaking on me. This game is currently available only on the Internet.
Zork Nemesis
While Zork Nemesis is set in Quendor, and has a lot of references to previous games, it is not considered true Zork. Gone is the humor that marked the earlier games, replaced by scenes that range from normal to macabre at times. Also, it is not recommended for younger players. (See below) The earlier games were more family friendly, which is another reason Nemesis isn't always considered true Zork. However, the game's designers apparently wanted to transport the player right into Quendor, and they succeeded. The game is available as a three CD set.
You arrive at the Temple of Agrippa, and soon find yourself in the middle of a complex plot. Throughout the game, your opinions of all the characters change dramatically. Your goal is to defeat the Nemesis... or is it? The ending had a good twist to it. The soundtrack is wonderful, and the graphics are very realistic... beautifuly most of the time, gruesomely at a few points. There are 5 worlds: the Temple of Agrippa (where you begin), the Conservatory, Everdune, the Asylum, and the Monastary. Each is beautiful, and there are movies and easter eggs all over the place. The exception is the Asylum, which I found gruesome.
At one point, you must chop off a corpse's head down in the morgue with a guillotine. Then, you bring it upstairs, place it on a spike, and press buttons to hear the dead speak... just so you can get the combination to a safe containing the stomach of an inmate who swallowed a key. If you decide to play this game, and want to get the combo without doing that, contact me, and I'll give it to you. This game is not recommended for younger players, due to some of the language, one scene of partial nudity, and scenes with realistic looking blood.
Other than that one section of the game, I found it to be very absorbing. I loved the full color picture of Dimwit Flathead in Everdune, and all the other easter eggs. The ending was wonderful, with a twist I definately didn't expect when I started playing.
Zork Grand Inquisitor
Zork Grand Inquisitor, now mostly only available in the DVD version, perfectly marries the whimsical nature of the previous titles, and gorgeous graphics. You are an adventurer stranded in Quendor during the Magic Inquisition. You goal is to find the three lost artifacts of Quendor, and stop the Inquisition. References to earlier games abound, as the world is more fully explained. Cast spells, teleport, talk to your lantern, and get totemized. Now, if only Activision would release even more titles in this wonderful series. :(

This complex of herbs is the strongest way to get rid of parasites in the GI tract. It contains the following herbs: Wormwood, Black Walnut hulls, Stemona root and Clove Bud essential oil.
Wormwood Complex of herbs is the strongest way to get rid of parasites in the GI tract. Wormwood Complex contains the following herbs: Wormwood, Black Walnut hulls, Stemona root and Clove Bud essential oil. This combination of herbs and essential oil contains many phytochemicals including lactones, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids.
Not all bacteria are bad, in fact some bacteria are necessary for our survival and live in our intestine. The human gastrointestinal tract (mainly the lower end known as the colon or large bowel) is the natural habitat for a large and diverse population of microorganisms (called 'flora'), mainly bacteria. The intestine of an adult contains up to 500 different species of bacteria. Scientists even think there may also be some species that have not yet been identified. In normal healthy circumstances the relationship is mutually beneficial for both partners - bacteria and host (you).
A healthy lower gastrointestinal tract contributes to a healthy intestinal environment and helps maintain proper gastrointestinal flora.
In Western civilization, Wormwood has been known since ancient times to cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract (especially the large intestine). References to this plant appear in the writings of the ancient Egyptians, in early Syrian texts and in the Bible, Early European texts refer to it for this purpose and as a tonic. Wormwood was published in an official list of therapeutic plants in Canada in 1868, and in the United States in 1830. Wormwood is now used traditionally around the world Stemona root and the green hull of Black Walnut fruit are used traditionally to help cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract.
Clove Bud essential oil has been used traditionally to support healthy bowel function. It may do this by helping produce regular peristaltic action. Peristalsis is the process by which the contents of the gastrointestinal tract are pushed along (propelled). The muscular layers of the gastrointestinal tract do this by producing alternating contractions. By making peristalsis more regular Clove Bud essential oil helps cleanse the bowel. The normal propulsive action also helps to maintain proper intestinal flora. The intestinal flora also breaks down undigested matter in the feces, which produces gases. This can contribute to flatulence. Clove Bud essential oil has been used traditionally in this way to support healthy bowel function. Wormwood has been used to support healthy bowel function by promoting efficient gastrointestinal elimination!
Wormwood is traditionally used to stimulate digestion and promote the healthy flow of digestive enzymes. The ability of Wormwood to do this also supports healthy bowel function and a healthy intestinal environment.
Other Ingredients: Cellulose, silica, calcium acid phosphate, sodium starch glycollate, hypromellose and magnesium stearate.

The Alkaline Diet involves a holistic approach to increasing overall health by eating foods with an alkali content that mimics the human body's normal pH level of 7.36 to 7.44. Proponents of the diet contend that eating foods with a pH level proximal to that which naturally occurs in the body remedies chronic fatigue, frequent colds and infections.
The Alkaline Diet purportedly lowers circulating levels of acidic compounds in the body by prescribing a minimal intake of foodstuffs that contain high levels of acid, such as meat, and increasing the consumption of items with low levels of acid, such as mushrooms and potatoes.
Adhering to the Alkaline Diet supposedly reduces the risk of several ailments, such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, and alleviates symptoms of poor health, such as weak nails, hives and excess mucus production.

Het kabinet-Van Zuylen van Nijevelt was een conservatief Nederlands kabinet dat regeerde van 1 juni 1866 tot en met 4 juni 1868.

Dit (koninklijke) minderheidskabinet bestond uit conservatieve ministers, onder wie een katholieke conservatief. Het kabinet gaat na nederlagen twee keer de strijd aan met de Tweede Kamer. Zowel in 1866 als 1868 wordt de Kamer namelijk ontbonden. Pas na een derde nederlaag eindigt deze 'conflictentijd' in een overwinning voor de (liberale) Kamermeerderheid.

Een belangrijk vraagstuk dat tijdens deze periode speelt, is de koloniale kwestie. Daarvoor wordt echter geen oplossing gevonden. Verder staat de buitenlandse politiek centraal, en dan vooral de positie van Luxemburg, waarvan koning Willem III groothertog is.

Bijzonderheden

Ontbinding 1866
Kort na het aantreden van het kabinet wordt minister van Koloniën Mijer, die als koloniaal specialist minister was geworden, benoemd tot gouverneur-generaal. De meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer bekritiseert deze handelwijze.

Door het kabinet wordt die kritiek beschouwd als een aanval op de koning, die formeel het opperbestuur over de koloniën heeft en de benoeming heeft gedaan.

De meerderheid wijst echter op de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid: de ministers zijn verantwoordelijk voor de daden van de koning. De Kamer neemt daarop op 27 september 1866 met 39 tegen 23 stemmen een motie-Keuchenius aan, die uitspreekt 'dat de gedragslijn van het kabinet ten opzichte van het uittreden van de minister van Koloniën' wordt afgekeurd.

Op deze afkeuring volgt al de volgende dag het besluit tot ontbinding van de Tweede Kamer. In een proclamatie (zonder contraseignering) richt de koning zich hierna tot de kiezers en roept hen op bij de verkiezingen de kant van de regering te kiezen. De proclamatie wordt tegelijk met de stembriefjes aan de kiezers gezonden. De verkiezingen van 30 oktober 1866 leiden evenwel niet tot grote veranderingen in de krachtsverhoudingen: de liberalen blijven in de meerderheid. Het kabinet blijft desondanks aan.

Ontbinding 1868
In 1867 stelt de Franse keizer Napoleon III aan Willem III voor Luxemburg aan hem af te staan tegen een geldelijke schadevergoeding van vijf miljoen gulden. De Pruisische kanselier Bismarck doet naar buiten toe voorkomen alsof hij zich daartegen niet zal verzetten. Een positieve uitspraak hierover wil Pruisen echter niet doen. Pas als de zaak bijna rond is, wordt door Pruisen oorlogszuchtige taal gesproken. De overdracht aan Frankrijk gaat dan niet door.

Op een door de Russen in Londen belegde conferentie wordt Luxemburg neutraal verklaard; ook Nederland zal, zo verklaart minister Van Zuylen van Nijevelt, die neutraliteit garanderen.

In de Tweede Kamer is er weinig instemming met het beleid van Van Zuylen. Formeel heeft Nederland niets met Luxemburg te maken en het afgeven van een garantie was niet in het landsbelang. De slechte verhouding tussen meerderheid en kabinet komt tot uiting in de verwerping van de begroting voor Buitenlandse Zaken op 26 november 1867. Het kabinet biedt zijn ontslag aan. De koning weigert dit en ontbindt op 27 december wederom de Tweede Kamer.

De verkiezingen van 23 januari 1868 leiden er net als in 1866 toe dat de verhoudingen in de Tweede Kamer nauwelijks wijzigen. Het kabinet blijft echter aan. Tegen deze handelwijze komt Thorbecke op. Een kabinet kan volgens hem niet blijven zitten als het geen vertrouwen heeft in het parlement. In een motie-Blussé van Oud-Alblas spreekt de meerderheid op 23 maart uit dat de Kamerontbinding niet in het landsbelang was. Korte tijd later (op 28 april) wordt de begroting voor Buitenlandse Zaken voor de tweede maal verworpen. Het kabinet biedt wederom ontslag aan.

Vijf Eerste Kamerleden roepen de Eerste Kamer bijeen om te bezien of dat college zich met een adres tot de koning moet richten. In dat adres zou aan de koning moeten worden gevraagd af te zien van een derde Kamerontbinding. Dat blijkt echter niet nodig, want er is inmiddels al een formatie aan de gang. Die leidt uiteindelijk tot vorming van het liberale kabinet-Van Bosse-Fock. Het parlement is als overwinnaar uit de strijd gekomen.

Ministers

Mutaties
Nadat de Tweede Kamer op 26 juni 1867 met 59 tegen 4 stemmen een amendement-Fransen van de Putte heeft aangenomen op het door Trakranen ingediende wetsontwerp inzake de uitgifte van gronden op Java, treedt deze minister af. Hij wordt opgevolgd door de Tielse burgemeester Hasselman, die eerder resident was in Nederlands-Indië.

In november 1867 overlijdt minister Borret. Zijn opvolger is het conservatieve Tweede Kamerlid Wintgens.

Na het opnieuw instellen van de departementen voor de erediensten worden een katholiek en antirevolutionair benoemd tot minister.

The Outsider - Jack Art (2020)
The Life and Times of Candy Rose - The Jack Art Band (2017)
The Jack Art Band
JACK ART
An Outsider...
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse? - Bruce Springsteen
Don't believe the people who loudly proclaim that urgency is the remit of youth, that rock is the privilege of adolescent rebellion. Urgency presents itself, cruelly, whenever you find yourself up against it, when the "now-or-never" keeps you up at night, when you realize that a dream that doesn't come true is worse than a lie.
Jack Art is a seasoned, Paris-based musician who long ago started a music career that didn't pan out the way he had hoped. Tired of waiting around for his break, he locked away his artistic dream in a drawer and became something of the ideal son-in-law: a wife, kids, good money from a job in finance. A comfortable place in life, like they say. But can you really be warm when the fire inside is going out?
Four years ago, Jack Art resurrected his dream and set back down that uncertain path of the creative, leaving the security of his old life far behind him, and at the risk of losing everything. Everything, that is, except what matters most: his identity. Against all the odds, in 2017 he put out the album The Life and Times of Candy Rose, along with his very own version of the E. Street Band, Asbury Jukes, Silver Bullet Band or the Heartbreakers: The Jack Art Band.
An engaging concept album through which all of his talents as a songwriter, musician and storyteller burst into the ears of anyone lucky enough to hear it. He could have left it at that and continued in that same electric, electrifying vein, but the allure of change, of defiance, insisted on making itself heard one more time. Not a man content to rest on his laurels, his search for intensive self-expression is never over.
In March 2020, he's releasing his first solo album: the intimate and very personal The Outsider. Ten absolutely mind-blowing tracks, stripped down to their pure essentials (voice, piano and/or guitar, with a touch of harmonica or steel guitar here and there), mixed and mastered by Bernard Natier (Montreux Jass Festival, Rita Mitsouko, Les Innocents, Genesis and…The Jack Art Band!), produced with the help of his loyal friend Daniel Abecassis.
The Outsider is a singer-songwriter album, along the lines of the masters of the genre, such as Carole King, Jackson Browne or even Elliott Murphy. But don't count on straying far from the electric guitars and blaring amps synonymous with the urgency of rock and roll -- this album was written and produced in record time.
This spontaneity nevertheless draws on a maturity of language and lyrical depth reminiscent of the acoustic albums from a certain boss from New Jersey.
This comes through in the first single, Chin up Sally, the story of a woman worn out from her sad everyday life and a call to lift her head high, which stirs echos of the words of John Mellencamp in his song The Real Life (Lonesome Jubilee).
It's said that France isn't a land of rock and roll and that Frenchmen who try their hand at the genre often can't help but leave a sense of copy/paste. But Jack Art is different. He's a man with a life story – his life nourishes his art, and vice-versa.
Jack Art is an outsider. A true outsider. The kind you don't expect to find anymore, who at a time not so long ago wouldn't have bet on himself either.
But even the outsiders, those first-cousins of the beautiful losers, end up hitting the jackpot sometimes: Even the losers get luck sometimes… (Tom Petty).

TORONTO—MaRS Innovation recently shared news of a second project to be developed under the auspices of its LAB150 partnership with Evotec, which was established last year. The project will focus on the development of a novel therapeutic approach to treating glaucoma, based on research out of the lab of Dr. Jeremy Sivak, senior scientist at The University Health Network's Krembil Research Institute. Sivak, his team and collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered a lipoxin with neuroprotective properties and efficacy in preclinical glaucoma models. They—along with Dr. Mark Reed, a medicinal chemist at the Krembil Research Institute, and Evotec scientists—will work to identify potent, selective compounds that can target this lipoxin in hopes of developing new drugs.
"This strategic partnership will give us the help we need to develop the first neuroprotective treatment for glaucoma patients," said Sivak.

Home Finance Gen Z Investors: How This Generation is Cautiously Embracing Cryptocurrency
Gen Z Investors: How This Generation is Cautiously Embracing Cryptocurrency
When cryptocurrency first debuted in the mainstream market, many investors were wary about investing in the new fad, which was too new and unpredictable compared to typical, go-to investment products like stocks and bonds. Out came a flurry of news platforms and business edits trying to help consumers make sense out of words like "blockchain" and "crypto." Millennials were the first to bite the bullet, some of who saw an opportunity in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other top dogs that dominate the charts today. But the ride wasn't smooth-sailing. Many suffered losses from bad trading decisions and panic selling woes; some missed out on the opportunity at its prime, while others remained wary until the very end.
However, a new generational cohort is changing the crypto game. Meet Gen Z: the first generation of youth to spend more time online than their predecessors. These individuals grew up under the guidance of Google and the internet. They are now entering the workforce with financial literacy and an interest in investments on their backs. And for these iced latte-infused twenty-somethings, cryptocurrency is the way to go—but investors were cautiously and tactfully.
A Modern Rebellion Against The Prehistoric Financial Economy
Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds: these three big investment assets were all the rage among boomers and older millennials. But with dwindling interest rates and platforms that don't speak to youth, teens and young adults today are never going to benefit from these products the same way their parents did. That puts Gen Z in a difficult situation, as saving for retirement is no longer as straightforward as it used to be.
On top of that, young people are also more prominently rebelling against institutionalized ideas, from gender inequality to the concept of nine-to-five jobs. And that includes a rejection of the old financial ecosystem, which has become extremely inconvenient and backward in a world where instant gratification takes precedence in consumers' minds. Despite massive tech innovations, even in the financial space, it still takes three to five business days to clear cheques or process a supposedly quick bank transfer.
As a result, Gen Zers investors naturally gravitated toward cryptocurrency, which boasts impressive technology and solves problems that overflow in traditional financial institutions. Who's going to wait three days to send money to a family member halfway across the globe when anchored coins like The People's Reserve (TPR) can do it in two seconds? And why put money in an HYSA with a 0.5% interest rate when staking Cardano (ADA) can yield 5% in rewards annually?
Financial Literacy Through Social Media
Social media plays an important role in influencing youth with ideas—and that includes financial literacy. It's hard to imagine how spaces like YouTube and Tiktok can promote anything but sponsored content. Still, there has been a surge in content surrounding business, investments, budgeting, and cryptocurrency in the past few years.
Two factors contributed to the heightened interest in these kinds of content. One was COVID-19, which impacted teens and young adults just as much as the seasoned working force. This cohort suffered the most from the collapse of an already dwindling job market, so thrift flips, Depop and Etsy shops, and small businesses became their bread and butter.
The second was the recent bull market, which brought hundreds of trading channels to life, offering newcomers information and crypto trading tips. Before then, very few people delved into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all other altcoins that followed. But after these names became a part of the mainstream vocabulary, Gen Zers found an investment opportunity that spoke to them—fast and easy to use and understand.
Deriving Social Value From Meaningful Technology
Cryptocurrency's ultimate goal is to be the primary medium for peer-to-peer, borderless transactions. It's already made waves in helping impoverished nations suffering from unstable national currencies and have a large population of unbanked individuals, from El Salvador to Venezuela. Some developers, like Dogecoin, also do plenty of charity work with the community's support. All these contribute to cryptocurrency's social value, giving it plenty of leverage in young people's minds.
Traditional financial institutions have existed for decades, yet they haven't been able to do anything to solve national money-related crises or help unbanked people make online transactions. Cryptocurrency changes that game by solving all these issues that have been left in the shadows, attracting Gen Zers along the way.
Community-Driven Interest
Being part of a community is extremely important to Gen Zers, who are used to being connected through social media. Traditional investment products tend to be extremely intimidating to youth because many of their supporters are older individuals—and they can't relate to a 19-year-old who's just getting started.
In contrast, cryptocurrency communities are young and fun. They connect through platforms like Reddit and Discord, where the technicalities of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are simplified through memes and open, freeform, and discrimination-free discussions. The GameStop saga earlier this year, which was pushed primarily by the WallStreetBets subreddit, is a testament to the power of community effort. No one would have confidently invested in the most unsuspecting retail company—not without a community to make the venture feel a lot less intimidating.
But Gen Zers aren't reckless about their investments, either. Unlike millennials, whose early cryptocurrency experiences have become lessons for new investors, younger traders are approaching the market with just as much caution and enthusiasm. They're doing a lot more research and consulting friends and communities before putting money into a coin.
At the same time, they're also more open to testing new trends, like taking a gamble at the NFT wave or investing in digital land. While older investors still outspend them, it's only a matter of time before Gen Zers turn the financial world upside down.

As we reported previously, Dublin's hit music station, FM104 recently commissioned more than half of IQ Beats' Capital FM jingle package.
Like Virgin Radio, , WZPL, Radio 21 and many before them, the newest member of the IQ Beats family using the Capital FM jingle package is FM104.
At FM104 we sought out to find a jingle package which was different from what we had before and also to find a package which stood out in comparison to what is currently on air in the Dublin radio market. We decided on this IQ Beats package as it sounds fresh and powerful while also carrying a retro feel. The jingles work great with the music we play on FM104 and really jump out of the speakers, particularly at the top of hour.
Working with IQ Beats was a pleasure. We had many requests and tweaks throughout the recordings but you made sure we were happy with everything and it sounded just right.
Following on from Q102's, Cork 96fm's and FM104's new jingle package, Midland's 103 have also starting airing a new package from S2Blue in the last few weeks. Ireland is going mad for new jingles as Andi said on JingleMad earlier this week.


Your vacation home features soaring 20 foot ceilings, a main bedroom with a king bed and an upstairs loft bedroom with a queen bed. Both the living room and the main bedroom feature big screen TVs. The balcony deck looks west onto trees, lawns and vivid desert sunsets. The full function and equipped kitchen has a pass through to the living room and a window over the sink which keeps it bright and airy.
The Sunscape community provides pools, spas, exercise facilities, BBQs, and immediate access to the Continental Golf Course and Scottsdale's (and beyond) fabulous 28 miles of bicycle and walking paths. Imagine! These traffic-free paths dotted with lakes, migratory birds, golf courses, palms, art and play areas allow you leisurely travel from the Tempe's Salt River Marina area to Northern Scottsdale. Baseball fans will love Sunscape's location a short walk from Scottsdale Stadium, the Spring Training home of the San Francisco Giants.
Everything is here for you to enjoy!!


Thank you Grandmaster Prakash for being ready to help. I received an attunement and it was not only pleasant but also 'authentic'. I felt the attunement immediately. I am also very touched that Grandmaster Prakash seems to be a truly spiritual person, not one motivated by greed, unlike most other 'spiritual' people online. I made a token donation and I intend to follow his courses as well. I am happy to have found Grandmaster Prakash.


World Environment Day took place on 5th June. It is a call to action for everyone to come together to make changes to their lives to help cut plastic and to raise awareness about protecting our environment. It began in 1974 and has continued to grow each year with over 100 countries now supporting the campaign.
The theme for 2018 was Beat Plastic Pollution and was designed to invite us all to consider making changes in our everyday life to reduce the heavy burden on plastic pollution on our natural places, wildlife and our own health.
As a nation we have become too dependent on single use plastic with severe environmental consequences. The distressing footage from Blue Planet 2 of plastic damaging our oceans has highlighted a global problem which we all need to address. The debris from plastic causes damage to the eco systems, financial losses to fisheries and tourism and costs the economy in both time and money spent cleaning up the beaches.
Drifting plastic can accumulate algae and smells similar to the krill that marine life feeds on. Thousands of albatross chicks choke on plastics and suffer starvation and toxicity which results in death. Other birds, Fish and marine mammals can get caught in plastic discarded in the oceans and die.
The United Nations have released some alarming facts about plastic in their overview for World Environment Day.
While many people are starting to opt for paper straws rather than plastic and are cleaning beaches and coastlines the problem is one of design and needs our manufacturers, distributers and consumers to change their habits.
Here are some tips on how to reduce your plastic use.
1 Carry a re-usable bottle which can be refilled. This will save money and cut your plastic use, but remember to clean it thoroughly to avoid bacteria build up.
3 Try to use beauty products which are free from micro beads. The good news is that the government have announced a ban on microbeads which comes into force later this year.
4 Get your milk delivered. Not only are you supporting your local farmer but the milk is in glass bottles which can be collected and cleaned.
5 Try to buy your fruit and veg loose rather than pre packed in plastic. You could consider using a local farm shop or grower to get your fruit and veg delivered.
6 Clothing made from synthetic fibres flake off in washing machines and enter the water course. Try buying clothes which are made from natural fibres.
7 Say no to plastic straws and disposable cutlery.
8 Spend 2 minutes while walking the dog, picking up plastic and litter from your beach.
9 Reduce consumption and recycle.
10 Campaign and encourage your local shops, restaurants and bars to switch to cartons, wrappers and containers that are an alternative to plastic.

Not far from the sunny shores of Maldives, we have Sri Lanka, an island country located to the South-West of the Bay of Bengal and just off the coast of India. The coastal regions of Sri Lanka boast a much more tropical climate, whereas the upland regions tend to have a more temperate climate, averaging around 20ºC.
Average Temperature 1991-2020: 26.3ºC
Across the other side of the Bay of Bengal, lies Thailand, an Asian country known for its beaches, resorts, opulent royal castles, and ancient ruins. And with such an impressive average temperature over the last twenty years, Thailand is an excellent choice for a wellness retreat with an outdoor focus.
We began by gathering lists of countries with renowned wellness retreats and resorts, using places such as Harpers Bazaar and Travel and Leisure to get an idea of the best countries for wellness retreats.
We then used Tripadvisor to search each country for their total volume of resorts and wellness activities, also noting how many of those were rated four stars and higher. From those two figures, we were then able to calculate the percentage of resorts and wellness activities that were rated four stars and higher. This was to give a better representation of the data.
We then looked at the highest-rated resorts and wellness activities reviews, searching each review page for these keywords: beautiful, amazing and luxurious. We took down how many times each world appeared and then added a total for all keyword mentions.
Finally, we get the average temperature for each country, using World Population Review, giving an average of temperatures from 1991-2020 in ºC.

"Chocolate tends to be a recession-proof business, but we're not immune to the consumer," said Bryan Merryman, chief operating officer of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory .
Experts say that chocolate may be a good barometer of the way many businesses probably feel about the current economic climate.
It is made from imported cocoa, whose price on world markets has surged as the dollar has weakened. It is costly to distribute, and those expenses have climbed with rising fuel prices. And it is a pure consumer good sold to customers feeling the pain of precisely the same pressures.
All of which adds up to a simple and sobering verdict about the real state of the economy.

Q: Is cherry-pick works from Master to Branch (Master commit --> Branch)? I know cherry works from Branch to Master(Branch commit -->  Master).  But, Is cherry-pick works from Master to Branch (Master commit -->  Branch)?

A: Yes of course. You are the one that brings meaning to your branches.
The names we have all agreed upon using, like master, develop, feature/A etc. is a general convention amongst users of git. There is nothing more special between master and develop other than the meaning we give it, which in consiquence leads us the way how to use these branches.
git cherry-pick doesn't care that you are picking from feature/a or from master.

git-cherry-pick - Apply the changes introduced by some existing commits.
Given one or more existing commits, apply the change each one introduces, recording a new commit for each. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications from the HEAD commit).

Whether or not you think is a good idea to cherry-pick from master is a question you have to answer yourself (or maybe your dev team).

PULSE New York is moving to a new location at 330 West Street, at the corner of the West Side Highway and West Houston Street. The new venue, a former New York Central Railroad freight train terminal housing five blocks of the original High Line, has 30-foot high ceilings with varying levels of lofted space to be used for special projects. The fifth edition of PULSE New York will take place March 4 through 7, 2010.
Mark Moore Gallery will be featuring a solo booth of new work by Canadian painter, Kim Dorland, in Booth A-16.

Additionally, artist Tim Bavington has been selected to create a special public installation near the entrance of the fair venue – complete with new works!

The Marina Towers Observatory in Swansea is Shaped Like a Spaceship
Kaushik Patowary Dec 4, 2015 0 comments
This peculiar shaped building resembling a spaceship on its launch pad is located at the end of the promenade in the Maritime Quarter of Swansea, on the coast of southern Wales. This building was once an observatory called the Marina Towers Observatory, also known as the Swansea Observatory and Tower of the Ecliptic, of the Swansea Astronomical Society, but is now abandoned. The sea-facing white tower with a domed roof contained the actual observatory, and once housed the largest optical astronomical telescope in Wales. The cylindrical orange tower on the north is the access tower and contains a spiral staircase with open walkways linking the structures at each upper level.

The Marina Towers Observatory was commissioned and built by the Swansea City Council in 1988. It was leased to the Swansea Astronomical Society who had the observatory fitted with a fine 20" Shafer-Maksutov telescope, which was the largest in Wales and the second largest of its kind in the world. The telescope rotated about a 15-feet diameter fiberglass dome of the observatory, which was placed on a trough of saline water and oil enabling the dome to be rotated effortlessly with a single finger.
The building's unique shape is due to the intention of the builders to keep the staircase separate from the observatory building to prevent vibration, from people using the staircase, to be transferred to the observatory building. The bridges are connected to the observatory building but physically detached from the staircase building by a small gap.
The staircase building houses a model of the solar system suspended from a wire in the center stairwell. Each step on the stairwell represents a distance of 46 million miles on the journey from the sun's disk at the ground level to Pluto at the entrance to the observatory dome at the top of the building, which is capped by a magnificent stained glass roof designed by internationally-renowned artist David Pearl. Information on each of the planet is engraved on the wall plats and can be read as one ascended the staircase.

The Marina Towers Observatory was officially opened on 24 September 1993, and the building was named "The Tower of the Ecliptic". The observatory building housed a craft workshop, exhibition space, lecture halls and a public viewing gallery. The Swansea Astronomical Society ran public events and observation sessions, and the tower became a focal point of educational activity and opportunity for Swansea's residents. Unfortunately, when the City Council increased rent of the building in 2009, the Astronomical Society packed their bags and left.
In 2013, local businessman Noah Redfern bought the property with the intention of turning it into a tourist attraction. The plan is to turn the ground floor and first floor of the observatory into a café, while the top two floors will be used for holiday accommodation. The building will also be extended as part of the renovation.
