Pauline Campbell had been a tireless campaigner against the deaths of women in state custody since the tragic death of her own daughter Sarah in 2003.
She was awarded the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize in October 2005. The prize is awarded each year to a woman or group who has, through their actions, writing or campaigning; raised awareness of violence against women and children.
This group has been set up in memory of Pauline Campbell, and to debate and share issues regarding the ongoing scandal of vulnerable women dying in UK prison and secure units.

Q: Datetime formatting The api I am working with gives time is the following format when I place an order.
'orderDateTime': '12-May-2020 14:54:11'
What I am looking to do is to find the number of minutes/seconds that have passed since I placed the order. So if it has already been for example 10 minutes, if I would like to cancel or modify the order  I can do it.
I have tried everything I know to convert the given time format to do what I want but have been unsuccessful. Please help. Thanks in advance.
time_now = datetime.now()
print("Time now is",time_now)
t1 = time_now.strftime("%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S")
print(t1)
trade_time = datetime(12-May-2020 15:01:32)
t2 = datetime.strftime(trade_time,"%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S")
print(t2)

A: You are mixing the datetime objects and their representation as strings.
What you need to do is convert your trade time to a datetime object, by using the strptime method. strftime does the opposite, it produces a formatted text representation of your datetime.
Then, you can subtract the two datetime objects, which will give you the difference as a timedelta, from which you can get the difference as a number of seconds.
So, your code should look like:
from datetime import datetime

time_now = datetime.now()

trade_time_as_str = '12-May-2020 15:01:32'
trade_time = datetime.strptime(trade_time_as_str,"%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S")

elapsed = time_now - trade_time
elapsed_seconds = elapsed.total_seconds()

print(elapsed_seconds)

Firenze Fire
Bay Colt / March 16th, 2015 in FL / by Poseidon's Warrior out of My Every Wish
3 Starts 17
$137,500 Earnings $1,261,600
$45,833 Earnings / Start $74,212
Firenze Fire won his career debut in June 2017 at Monmouth Park by 3 1/2 lengths before testing stakes competition in the Grade 3 Sanford Stakes in July at Saratoga Race Course. In the Sanford, Firenze Fire gamely held off a late bid from Free Drop Bully to prevail. Making his next start in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes, Firenze Fire stalked the pace but came up emty in the stretch and ran fourth.
Firenze Fire won his career debut in June 2017 at Monmouth Park by 3 1/2 lengths before testing stakes competition in the Grade 3 Sanford Stakes in July at Saratoga Race Course. In the Sanford, Firenze Fire gamely held off a late bid from Free Drop Bully to prevail. Making his next start in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes, Firenze Fire stalked the pace but came up emty in the stretch and ran fourth. He rebounded nicely, however, five weeks later when he surged to a visually impressive victory in the Grade 1 Champagnes Stakes at Belmont Park to punch his ticket to the Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Firenze Fire closed his 2-year-old season with a seventh-place finish in the Juvenile.
In his 2018 debut, Firenze Fire got back on the winning track with a hard-fought win over Seven Trumpets in the Grade 3 Jerome Stakes at Aqueduct. He put forth another good effort when wheeled back to the races after a three-week break in the Grade 3 Withers Stakes on Feb. 3, checking in second behind Avery Island. He subsequently ran a disappointing fourth, beaten by 9 1/4 lengths in the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes on March 10. Returning in the Wood Memorial Presented by NYRA Bets, he once again ran fourth and was no threat to top three finishers Vino Rosso, Enticed, and Restoring Hope.
Making his next start in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, Firenze Fire drew the dreaded No. 1 post position. Despite that, he remained in contention through the backstretch before tiring to finish 11th.
Given a nice break after the Kentucky Derby, Firenze Fire returned refreshed and at a one-turn mile distance morst suited to him in the Grade 3 Dwyer Stakes on July 7. He rolled right past heavily favored Mendelssohn entering the stretch and streaked clear to a dominant victory in a blistering time of 1:33.74. He then started in a competitive running of the H. Allen Jerkens Stakes Presented by Runhappy on Aug. 25 and Saratoga and rallied late to finish third behind Promises Fulfilled and Seven Trumpets.
Making his next start in the Grade 3 Gallant Bob Stakes going three-quarters of a mile at Parx Racing on Sept. 22, Firenze Fire rated just off the pace and launched his bid nearing the stretch, where he was involved in a three-horse battle with Seven Trumpets and Whereshetoldmetogo. The former gave way in deep stretch but the latter kept battling until just a few steps from the wire Whereshetoldmetogo tried to bite Firenze Fire, who was edging away. Firenze Fire held on for the hard-fought win.
From the first crop of Grade 1 winner Poseidon's Warrior, Firenze Fire is from the female family of 2011 Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford and his Grade 1-winning half-sister Lady Joanne, both of whom were produced by 2011 Broodmare of the Year Oatsee, by Unbridled.

Marriage a la Carte is a three-act Broadway musical comedy composed and written by C. M. S. McLellan and scored by Ivan Caryll. The play was staged by Austen Hurgon with musical direction provided by J. Sebastian Hiller and Carl H. Engel. Marriage a la Carte opened on January 2, 1911 at the Casino Theatre and had a run of 64 performances.

Synopsis
The play starred newcomer Emmy Wehlen and was set in England. The plot revolves around Mrs. Ponsonby de Coutts Wragge, recently engaged to Lord Mirables, and her former husbands (Ponsonby de Coutts Wragge and Napoleon Pettingill) who reappear in her life after a long absence.

Reviews
The New York Times, January 3, 1911:
 Marriage a la Carte has charm, distinction, humor, pretty music, pretty girls and clever comedians. What more could one want from a musical comedy? And that is what Marriage a la Carte is, a real musical comedy.

Theatre Magazine, March, 1911:
 "The title of the new musical comedy, "Marriage a la Carte," by C. M. S. McClellan, has in itself no meaning that we can discover, and there is nothing in the play itself to elucidate its meaning. The title is as silly and dull as the action which seeks in vain to unfold itself on the stage." The critic went on to comment on Wehlen's New York debut, "A new face and a new force comes to us for the first time in the person of Miss Emmy Wehlen, trained in Germany mainly on the Munich stage, and for a year or so past active on the London stage. She is a blonde, blue-eyed person, with considerable grace and intelligence, who sings and dances well, and has charms that are distinctly individual and consequently new to us. Her best song is "Silly Cock-a-Doodle-Doo," which she dances with Dick (Mr. C. Morton Horne)."

Orkney MSP Liam McArthur today met with Loganair's, Jonathan Hinkles, who recently returned to the company to take up the position of Managing Director.
Top of the agenda for the meeting was again the reliability of Loganair's services as well as the steps being taken to improve communications with passengers.
Following today's meeting, Mr Hinkles has also agreed to the request from Mr McArthur to meet with Orkney's 'Air Services Key Users Group' next month.
"I am grateful to Mr Hinkles for travelling to Orkney for this meeting. It was a productive discussion and I welcome his recognition that there is a way to go before public confidence in the reliability of these air services can be restored.
"While there do appear to have been encouraging signs over recent weeks, I am clear that we need to see these improvements extended and sustained. There can be absolutely no question of a return to the chaotic scenes we saw earlier this year and last.
"Mr Hinkles also talked about his plans for improving communications with passengers, building on the existing pilot scheme, that provides passengers with email 'alerts'. He accepted that better use could be made of text messages and social media, not just in the event of delays, but more generally. Again, this seems to be a step in the right direction.
"I believe there is also scope to develop the engineering capacity at Kirkwall and even the number of flight crew based in the islands. Mr Hinkles appeared open to this idea, which is welcome news in the longer term.

Q: Excel macro is not working I had successfully created a macro, but had to keep recreating it for every Excel doc I wanted to use it in. Now it won't work for any of the workbooks.
Function GetURL(rng As Range) As String
  On Error Resume Next
  GetURL = rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address
End Function

What I would like to do is activate this macro across ALL workbooks, anytime I open Excel and use =GetURL(A1) I want it to get the HTTP link.

A: There are 2 approaches that I can think about to perform this:
1. Make an Add In that would contain your UDF and install properly
Official Documentantion
I think this is the best approach due to your statement

Quote: anytime I open Excel and use =GetURL(A1) I want it to get the HTTP link.>

2. You may use the UDF from the original workbook like so:
=Book1.xlsm!GetURL(A1)

As long as the workbook is opened


In Vajrayana Buddhism, Akshobhya (Sanskrit for «Immovable One», Jp. 阿閃如来 Ashuku nyorai) is one of the Five Wisdom Buddhas, a product of Adibuddha who represents consciousness as an aspect of reality. By convention he is located in the east of the Diamond Realm and is the Lord of the Eastern Pure Land Abhirati ('The Joyous'), although the Pure Land of Akshobhya's western counterpart Amitabha is popularly far better known. His Shakti is Locana and he is normally accompanied by two elephants. His color is blue and attributes include the bell, three monkish robes, and staff, along with a jewel, lotus, prayer wheel, and sword. He has several emanations.
Akshobhya appears in the «Scripture of the Buddha-land of Akshobhya» (阿閃仏国経 Ashuku Bukkyokukyō), dating from 147 CE and the oldest known Pure Land text. According to the scripture, a monk wished to practice the Dharma in the eastern world of delight and made a vow to think no anger or malice towards any being until enlightenment. He duly proved «immovable» and when he succeeded, he became the Buddha Akshobhya.
Akshobya is sometimes merged with Acala (Jp. 不動明王 Fudō myō-ō), whose name also means the Immovable One in Sanskrit. However, Acalanatha is not a Buddha, but one of the Five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm in Vajrayana.
Prior to the advent of Bhaisajyaguru (Yakushi), Akshobya was the subject of a minor popular cult in Japan as healing Buddha.
Akshobhya is believed to transform the human failing of anger into a clear mirror-like wisdom. With this wisdom, we see things just as they are, impartially and unaffectedly. Indeed, whether it be a red rose or a bloody dagger, a mirror will reflect both just as they are.
Akshobhya's blue color is closely linked to the mirror symbolism. Blue is the color of water, and water has the capacity to act as a clear mirror.
Akshobhya makes the Bhumisparsha mudra (earth touching gesture). This gesture suggests confidence, deep-rootedness, and the same kind of determination which carried the Buddha to his enlightenment, inspite of the numerous hurdles which crossed his path.
Akshobhya's emblem is the vajra, the symbol of Vajrayana Buddhism. The vajra essentially signifies the immovable, immutable, indivisible, and indestructible state of enlightenment. Thus is Akshobhya touching the earth with the fingertips of his right hand, the earth too being a symbol of the immutable, the solid, and the concrete.
Akshobhya's mount is the elephant. An elephant places its foot upon the earth with unshakeable certainty. It has the same unalterable quality as the Buddha's fingers touching the ground, and the same determination that carried Buddha through his tribulations.

Q: Как изменить файл linux без прав История такова: Искал я на просторах интернета как зарутить себя и нашёл какую-то статью. Там было написало изменить в passwd X:0:0. И я как самый умный так и сделал.
Debian сказал "Ты кто?" и sudo тоже перестал работать.
Устанавливал челез live поэтому пароля для root не поставил.
Сейчас сижу с того же live Debian'а и думаю что же мне делать...
https://i.stack.imgur.com/tbFT2.jpg!
(https://i.stack.imgur.com/QWJP8.jpg) - bios с usb

A: Перед модификацией любого системного файла необходимо выполнить команду
cp <faile-name> <file-name>.old

Сделали такой бэкап?  Подозреваю - нет.. Ну а хотя бы помните, что там было раньше? Если помните, то:

*

*Грузимся LiveCD или флэшки. (Любой дистрибутив!)

*После появления главного меню инсталлятора выбираем опцию "Попробовать"

*Монтируем HDD

*Идём в каталог /etc

*Исправляем файл passwd

*Пергружаемся....

A: Можно загрузиться без пароля и без загрузочного DVD. Для этого нужно в начале загрузки, когда на несколько секунд появится меню GRUB (синий прямоугольник со списком вариантов загрузки), нажать клавишу «e» (английскую), это позволит изменить выбранный пункт меню (для текущей загрузки), откроется окно, в котором нужно найти строчку, начинающуюся на «linux», заканчиваться она скорее всего будет на «quiet» (обрати внимание, что содержимое там скорее всего не поместится на одну строку, то есть, оно будет перенесено на следующую). Клавишами управления курсора нужно перейти в конец той строки (т.е. после «quiet»), добавить пробел и далее «init=/bin/sh», этот параметр указывает ядру в качестве начального процесса загрузить оболочку /bin/sh, после этого нужно нажать комбинацию клавиш Ctrl-x, загрузка продолжится с изменёнными параметрами, и появится приглашение командной строки («#»), то есть, будет получен доступ с правами администратора без пароля.
Но, при этом, файловая система ещё будет смонтирована в режиме только для чтения. Чтобы что-то исправить, нужно перемонтировать корневую файловую систему в режиме для записи, это делается командой «mount -o remount,rw /». После этого можно восстановить содержимое файла /etc/passwd. Команды shutdown и reboot работать не будут, перед перезагрузкой можно на всякий случай перемонтировать корневую файловую систему обратно в режим для чтения («mount -o remount,ro /») и нажать кнопку Reset.
Теперь о том, как восстановить содержимое файла /etc/passwd. Рядом с ним может находиться его резервная копия, это может быть файл /etc/passwd- (с минусом на конце), также свою резервную копию мог создать текстовый редактор, который использовался для редактирования /etc/passwd. Перед исправлением содержимого файла /etc/passwd обязательно нужно сделать его копию! Если старое содержимое файла не сохранилось, то узнать, какие раньше были идентификаторы пользователя и группы по умолчанию (которые ты видимо заменил на 0 и 0) можно посмотрев их у домашнего каталога пользователя, при помощи команды ls, передав ей параметр «-n», то есть, таким образом: «ls -n /home» (или «ls -nd /home/username» — указав нужного пользователя вместо «username»).


DARTMOUTH — The Lloyd Center for the Environment held its 2013 annual meeting on April 22 at the Dartmouth Grange, with the agenda highlighted by the introduction of new Executive Director Rachel Stronach, whose "association" with the educational environmental organization dates back some 23 years. The presentation of the annual Haydock Award and a talk by keynote speaker Dr. Anamarija Frankic were the evening's other highlights.
Ms. Stronach presented the prestigious Haydock Award to local artist Carole Veiga, for her volunteerism and her beautiful nature art; she has helped with the decorations for the annual clambake and also with designs for some printed materials for the Center. "She also volunteers for Allen's Pond, and the Council on Aging. She has such a positive attitude," Ms. Stronach noted.
"We are really expanding our outreach offerings… for families and the public, with a focus on schools. We hope people will start looking at (our) canoe trips and night programs" too, Ms. Stronach said. "We have added programs during the day, in the evening and weekends, and more information online," she added.
Ms. Stronach, who lives in Dartmouth, talked about her 23-year history of working at the Lloyd Center, and how the career became intertwined with her school and work lives. "I started as an intern (at the Center) for three summers; beginning as a student on a coastal field study at Barney's Joy. Then, I worked with other non-profits such as the New England Aquarium as an educator and naturalist," she explained.
During interim periods, she lived in Florida, and earned a master's degree in marine biology. "It took me four hours to be hooked, and I keep coming back here. I felt like coming back to the Center because it is one of those special places. I feel I can tell the Lloyd Center story from different perspectives to the community," commented Ms. Stronach.
She briefly recounted some of the achievements of the different departments. The Research Department under the guidance of Director Mark Mello conducted the first annual Biodiversity week in June 2012. A local naturalist led volunteers on trips to selected sites, focusing on observing and collecting specimens in their area of expertise. Students from Dartmouth and New Bedford collected data as part of their day-long field programs at two of the long-term field stations. "They catalogued as many as 506 species," she advised.
The Research department staff has also managed the Bristol Country population of Piping Plover for 27 years. "The protection at Horseneck Beach and West Island has about one half of all the plovers in this area," she commented.
The Education Department is continuing the Climate Science Learning Project, focused on climate change's impact on the ecology of southern Massachusetts. The overall project is designed to strengthen science education programs, and better public understanding of the region's ecology. More than 4,000 students have participated so far, the new director said. "Research is important, and the education and outreach pull it altogether," Ms. Stronach suggested.
The evening's keynote speaker, Dr. Anamarija Frankic, spoke about biomimicry, a new branch of science that studies nature's models and then uses these designs and processes to solve human problems. Dr. Frankic neatly summed up her work as "a new scientific method that is a shift from learning about nature, to learning from nature" during her slide presentation.
Treasured volunteer Carole Veiga received the prestigious Haydock Award from Lloyd Center executive director Rachel Stronach at the 2013 annual meeting. The wooden Piping Plover is presented annually to a person who makes an outstanding contribution to the protection of our fragile coastal environment.
It's official: Outgoing Lloyd Center for the Environment Executive Director D'Arcy MacMahon congratulates incoming Director Rachel L. Stronach at the center's annual meeting at the Dartmouth Grange.


Currently, when a new Task class is created or existing Tasks are modified to produce new outputs, the new output data products need to be added all camera mappers. This is already annoying, but as the number of cameras increases this is clearly unsustainable.
Instead, I think new datasets should be defined by the Tasks (probably via class attributes), using a set of standardized template strings defined by the camera-specific mappers. Mappers could also choose to override specific dataset paths, but this should be unusual except perhaps for the raw data.
Coadd data IDs are the same for all cameras, due to our reliance on the skymap package. I believe it's safe to rely on this assumption in the mapper and butler, which should allow us to enable iteration and completion of the sort currently supported by raw data IDs using the registry.
Of course, many data IDs will be formed by combining skymap keys with raw data IDs (i.e. "visit"+"tract" for coaddTempExp), and we will want iteration and completion for these as well.
The current flexibility of data keys can sometimes be problematic for algorithms that rely on structure in the data that is considered to be camera-specific by the butler. The coaddition and background matching algorithms center around a concept of "visit", and currently have to twist themselves in knots to define what combination of data IDs are shared by a visit, because "visit" isn't a camera-generic concept in our current system. Photometric and astrometric self-calibration requires even more knowledge about the structure of a data ID, making it virtually impossible to implement in a camera-generic way in the current stack.
As before, whenever possible, algorithms would rely only the requirements in Mapper; when necessary (i.e. ISR, coaddition, ubercal) algorithms would be written assuming a SimpleCameraMapper, with the subtask-reconfiguration approach used to support others such as SDSS.
I'd like to see DataRef treated as simply the combination of a data ID with a Butler, and something we'd use in place of data ID dictionaries virtually everywhere; as soon as possible, we'd convert all data ID dictionaries to DataRefs. Most of our routines would take DataRefs, not data ID dictionaries, and if they do accept data ID dictionaries, they'd simply use these to create or expand DataRefs.
I think this is mostly the role DataRef already plays, but it's clunky in some places (i.e. for coadd data IDs, because of the reliance on the registry), and its history as a later addition is apparent in others.
I think it could also be nice to provide a set-like API for splitting and combining various aspects of a data ID. I've always been a bit disappointed that Python dictionaries don't have more of this themselves, and there are places in our code (i.e. coaddHelpers.py in pipe_tasks) that would clearly benefit from it.
We should do a complete audit of what numeric IDs we might want, and ensure these can be made available for all cameras without individual cameras having to implement any more of them than necessary.
We need a better correspondence between the names and IDs used in cameraGeom and the names and IDs used by the mapper. All camera-specific names and IDs should be defined in only one place and used by both cameraGeom and the mapper.
It'd be particularly convenient if the mappings between numeric and dictionary data IDs were available directly from a DataRef object.
The WCS of an exposure can also be logically considered to be part of other datasets, such as the source table derived from that exposure. (The same is true of the PSF, photometric calibration, background, etc., but I'll use WCS as my example here).
Ubercal creates a new WCS to be associated with each exposure, and while these may be stored separately on disk, we'd like to be able to create a new dataset that would combine the calexp pixel data with the ubercal WCS etc. (See also Dataset Flavors and Versioning, below).
Some complex serialized objects, such as CoaddPsf themselves contain many other objects, in this case the Psfs and Wcss of the exposures that went into a coadd. Considering that a the CoaddPsf of a neighboring patch will contain many of the same Psfs and Wcss, it's highly desirable to store each of these only once within a data repo, and moreover, to be able to use an existing in-memory object instead of re-reading it from disk and creating a duplicate.
I think fully supporting the last point would require making the a butler for a particular data repository a singleton that maintains a weak reference to all previously-loaded datasets. It may also require providing a C++ interface for a limited subset of butler functionality (as complex C++ objects may need to query for a previously-loaded instance of a subcomponent in their own deserialization routines). For this to work, it may be necessary to have a mappings from dictionary to numeric ID (and back) for 'all' datasets, not just those for which it is deemed useful for public API reasons, as dictionary-like data IDs are difficult to deal with in C++, and may not work well as keys for a cache of previously-loaded datasets. I believe the requirements on this sort of dict-numeric mapping are somewhat different from the dict-numeric mapping discussed previously, however, and it may be necessary to treat them differently. I'll also discuss this issue on my persistence framework page.
On the question of how to store aggregates, while it's somewhat convenient to package related things up into the same file as we've been doing with exposures and multi-extension FITS files, I'm personally willing to jettison some of that as long as we have very easy ways to repackage them back up for export. I would guess that the easiest way to implement this change, however, would be to continue to store most aggregate datasets as we do now, but allow some new datasets to be built from components stored in files more closely associated with another dataset. For example, a "calexp" FITS file could remain largely the same, holding both three image planes and additional HDUs for other components, while an "ubercalexp" would be created on-the-fly by loading the image planes from the "calexp" and attaching an updated WCS and Calib loaded from another file or files.
Many of our datasets are similar to others. We have many varieties of coadd, which may differ only in the config parameters to create them, but which nevertheless must be able to coexist within the same data repository. Similarly, postISRCCD, while largely unused today, can in some respects be considered a stand-in for a calexp, and in the above section an "ubercalexp" dataset that combines the calexp with ubercal results was introduced. For datasets that are in some sense substitutable (I'm being intentionally vague about what precisely that means), we should perhaps instead use the same dataset name and instead add some sort of "flavor" and/or "version" data ID key. This is largely an issue relating to how datasets are defined (which, as I argue above, should be a Task responsibility), not how the Butler or Mapper classes are designed, but we should ensure that those designs permit the use of this sort of data ID key, and perhaps they should include some features to support this sort of usage. The ability to provide default values (i.e. "flavor=vanilla") for certain data ID keys may be helpful, for instance, or support for placeholder values (i.e. "version=latest"). Clearly this idea needs more thought than I've given it, but I think we need something like this to deal with our proliferation of datasets due to coadd flavors and ubercal in a sane way.
The solution may the same as to Jim's "Dataset flavors and versioning", but the use case is different.
I'd like to see this feature removed or at least disabled by default. The comments around its implementation imply it was intended for use with the Clipboard, and in my own use I always pass immediate=True; I can think of no use cases in the current task system which a lazy proxy is valuable.
Everyone wants this, and it's clearly time for this. As noted above, I believe much of the content that currently goes into a mapper policy file should instead go into Task definitions, as these should be responsible for defining their own outputs. I think my first choice for what remains would be to put this in the Mapper class Python code as well, probably via class attributes. I do not advocate using pex_config for this, as it is not configuration information and doesn't need the complex history management and override system that pex_config provides - simple data structures, in the form of dictionaries and lists, would be better. If the amount of content here does get sufficiently larger that it starts to make the code in Mapper files harder to read, then I'd advocate adopting a standard text-based file format for hierarchical data (JSON and YAML come to mind).
The information in cameraGeom's PAF files needs to be versioned, probably in a very similar way to how detrend files are handled now. I'll talk about this more on my cameraGeom page, but it's worth mentioning here as this will likely require Butler/Mapper support as well.
The current CameraMapper relies heavily on "closures" (local functions that carry state from local variables). I find these make the code hard to follow and debug, and I'd much prefer another way of implementing overrides.
From Paul Price: we'd like the butler to maintain a checksum of all the files it has loaded. I'm not quite sure what his use case is, or how it would play out for aggregate datasets; I'm not sure whether we want checksums of files or of datasets when the two aren't 1-to-1. (Paul, feel free to edit this section however you'd like).
It seems like many Mapper methods (keys(), validate(), others?) aren't very useful because they make the (outdated) assumption that all data IDs have the same keys, and instead end up operating on a merged list of all keys for all data IDs.
The docs for CameraMapper describe some assumptions about the layout of cameras and their associated data IDs. My impression is that those assumptions have since been relaxed - is that correct?
What is "default level" and "default sublevel" functionality used for? Is it only valid for raw-like (i.e. camera-describing) data IDs?
What is the "skypolicy" in CameraMapper for? Are we using the skytiles in the registry to support any kind of spatial lookup on the raw data? If so, how do we address the fact that raw images are not required to have initial WCSs, and processed versions of those images may go through a succession of improved WCSs.

Olympic Soccer Star Gets Physics Lesson with Blue Angels
By Doug Evans
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. - Soccer star Kelley O'Hara of Peachtree City was a little unsteady on her feet, but laughing and joyful as she stepped down from a Blue Angel's F-18 at Falcon Field.
FOX 5 was there as O'Hara arrived back at the airport after a 45 minute ride. She told us, with hands raised in triumph as if just scoring a goal, "I didn't throw up! I didn't pass out!"
O'Hara is one of the best soccer players in the world, an Olympic Gold Medalist and a member of the Women's National team that captured the coveted World Cup in the summer of 2015. She admitted to FOX 5's Doug Evans that she was a little nervous before going up.
App users: Click here to watch the YouTube clip on the FOX 5 Atlanta channel
"After I agreed to do it, I was like, now I actually have to go up there," O'Hara said. "I was very nervous. Very excited. "
The Blue Angels are in Metro Atlanta for the Great Georgia Air Show this weekend at Falcon Field in Peachtree City. They will perform both Saturday and Sunday. O'Hara was invited to take a VIP ride, an experience she now shares with teammate Megan Rapinoe who flew with the Blue Angels after the U.S. Women's Team won the World Cup.
"She said it was amazing, but she threw up, passed out, the whole nine yards for her. And she was like, but you have to do it. So, in my mind it seems like that doesn't go hand in hand. But it was incredible."
Flying should be in her blood. Her father Dan O'Hara is a former Navy fighter pilot and now a captain with Delta Airlines. Her younger brother is training to be a Navy fighter pilot in Pensacola, Florida.
The Great Georgia Air Show runs October 31`through November 1. For more information visit the webpage: thegreatgeorgiaairshow.com

While I want to think it's the Jackson 5 version being searched, I suspect Nsync might be the winner there.

Prince of Wales Visit Memorial - Captivating Calcutta
In the North-West corner of the Eastern Railway Headquarter, just at the crossing of Fairlie Place and Strand Road, stands a neglected and dilapidated structure as a dumb witness of the Colonial Calcutta. Probably it was constructed with the Indo-Saracenic ideas, complete with a circular arch with thorny pointed ends and complete with flowery relief decorations. Marked by the KMC as a Heritage Buildings, it was actually built as the 'Prince of Wales Visit Memorial'.
Though it is neglected, shabby and battered, the memorial is undoubtedly a well built structure. On the front arch, there is an almost blurred plaque proclaiming that the structure was built at the initiative of Nawab Abdul Gunny, the first recognized Nawab of Dacca, and his son Nawab Ahsonollah Khan, to mark the visit of His Royal Highness Prince of Wales Albert Edward to Calcutta. It is to be noted here that Prince of Wales made an extensive eight-month tour of the subcontinent in October, 1875, along with his spouse and arrived in Calcutta in the month of December, 1875, just before the Christmas. It may also be noted that, after the demise of Queen Victoria he ascended the throne as Edward VII.
Prince of Wales Visit Memorial
As it is mentioned earlier, Abdul Gunny was the first Nawab of Dhaka recognized by the British Empire. During the historical Sepoy Revolt of 1857, he unabashedly supported the British Raj and in return, he was decorated by the British with the Companion of Star of India in 1871, as a token of his loyaltyand ultimately vested with the hereditary title of Nawab during the visit of Prince of Wales in 1875.It was therefore natural for the loyal Nawab to build such a memorial on account of the Royal visit.
Today, the memorial has become an eyesore and is used as a tea-stall. The makeshift shelter with cheap plastic sheets has almost obstructed the view of the structure. The neglected and distressed memorial needs immediate attention, otherwise a witness of history will be lost forever.
Surprisingly, the Prince of Wales Visit Memorial has a twin, at Esplanade. The more damaged, more dilapidated and the much distressed twin, almost covered with hoardings and banners, stands helplessly just on the left hand side of the entrance of the Tip Sultan Mosque.
The world is needed a mixture of truth and make-believe. Discard the make-believe and take the truth.

Source claims Priyanka Chopra 'declined' Meghan's baby shower invitation
Meghan Markle's New York baby shower was attended by some of her most high-profile chums, but there was one notable absentee from the celebration: Priyanka Chopra.
The Indian actress and former Miss World has been a close friend of the Duchess of Sussex since the pair met at an industry event several years ago.
Chopra has been one of Meghan's most outspoken supporters since her relationship with Prince Harry became public knowledge, and attended the couple's royal wedding last May.

However, a new report alleges the pair's friendship has hit a rocky patch, citing Chopra's absence from the Duchess' baby shower last week as evidence.
A source tells Page Six's Richard Johnson things began to sour when Meghan declined to attend Chopra's wedding to singer Nick Jonas in December.
At the time, Us Weekly reported the Duchess had opted not to travel to India for the festivities on the basis of her pregnancy, which was announced in October.
According to Johnson's source, Chopra was "crushed" by the decision, and subsequently declined to join in on Meghan's baby shower celebrations, held at Manhattan's Mark Hotel.

Her absence from the event, which was attended by the likes of Serena Williams and Amal Clooney, was initially attribute to being "bogged down" with work commitments in Los Angeles.
However, Johnson reports it has far more to do with Chopra's hurt feelings than her professional commitments.
In fact, one of his sources believes the pair's friendship is over unless Meghan apologises, adding, "[Priyanka] feels Meghan didn't respect her, and didn't respect their friendship."
Then again, this could be another case of the rumour mill spinning into overdrive, as an insider with connections to Chopra denies there are any issues between the two women.

The two actresses met at an Elle magazine event in 2015 and bonded immediately over their passion for philanthropic work and food (it's important to have balance, y'know?).
In a 2016 interview, Meghan described clicking with Chopra, describing the evolution of their friendship as "an easy, natural progression."
"Priyanka is unbelievable. She has become a really good friend," the then-Suits star told India West.
Just last year, Chopra wrote a short piece for TIME magazine to accompany Meghan's inclusion on its Most Influential People list, describing her friend as "an important influencer" for the upcoming generation.

"Somewhere among biryani, poutine and endless conversations, I realised just how deeply Meghan Markle cares for the world," the newlywed wrote.
"With her, what you see is real, and what you get is a relatable young woman with her heart and mind in the right place.
"Meghan, standing shoulder to shoulder with Harry, will be a princess for the people."

Contextual note Built in 1910 and for years called the Administration Building, Kirksey Old Main was the first building on campus. Initially the building housed the administrative offices, classrooms, auditorium, gymnasium, bookstore, and the post office. Old Main underwent major renovations in 1961, 1964 and 1965. In 1978 Old Main was renamed in honor of Howard G. Kirksey, an administrator who had served in many roles over the years with the institution.


50 percent of magnesium in the animal's body is stored in the skeleton. Here, along with calcium and phosphorus, it is involved in bone development and stability. A further 45 percent is contained in the body cells: here magnesium functions as an important activator of many enzymes, and is highly significant for the metabolism and muscle performance. Only about five percent of the magnesium is to be found in the extracellular space, where it is of great importance for the stimulation of muscles and nerves.
The functionality of muscles of the body requires a harmonious interaction between calcium and magnesium. While calcium promotes muscle contraction, magnesium has the opposite effect, enabling the muscles to relax again. With magnesium deficiency this interaction does not function properly. The tensed muscles cannot relax, and weakness, tension, shivering and cramp may occur. With heavy undersupply of magnesium, tetany, loss of consciousness, arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest are possible. A deficiency may also affect the nerves. Since magnesium subdues the stimulation of the nerves, a deficiency often results in nervousness, restlessness, inadequate feed intake and tension even to the point of panic reactions.
Magnesium is one of the essential minerals, which are vital, and since the body itself cannot produce them, they have to be absorbed in sufficient quantities every day. In the case of pets, pigs and poultry, the required intake of magnesium is normally ensured via commercial feed. For horses, cattle, sheep and goats, on the other hand, deficiencies are not uncommon. The magnesium content in green feed may not always cover needs, and in particular cattle may be subject to grass tetanies when they consume young grass. Even with a calculated needs-based feeding of magnesium, deficiency symptoms may appear, for example when there is an excess of calcium and the resorption of magnesium in the intestine is restricted.
The situation becomes especially critical when too little intake is combined with increased excretion, be it through perspiration, diarrhoea or vomiting.
Moreover, special attention is required in situations in which the need is increased. This is primarily the case for growing, pregnant, lactating or ageing animals, but also for animals which are exposed to high performance requirements and nervous stress. In all these cases, raising the magnesium intake can help. Research has shown that an adequate supply of magnesium can improve tolerance of stress in pigs and turkeys. A good magnesium balance, alongside species-appropriate husbandry, can thus considerably increase the well-being of animals, reduce aggression among them and contribute to a better quality of meat.
To supply animals with magnesium, we offer you our product KaSa Mag98®, high-purity magnesium sulphate of natural origin. We produce KaSa Mag98® in Germany in line with the regulations of DIN EN ISO 9001ff. The product is QS-recognised and is certified in accordance with GMP+, correspond to the EU food and feed law and is also suitable for the use as feed materials in organic farming.

'Secret Santa' pays Walmart shoppers' layaway, spreads holiday cheer in NJ town
By Christopher Carbone | Fox News
A Secret Santa made some dreams come true in New Jersey. (iStock)
For some lucky shoppers in New Jersey, the season just got a little bit merrier.
Five-year-old Jason Rake of Washington, N.J., thought that Santa might have put him on the naughty list. Little did he know that a special "Secret Santa" was about to make his mom's life a lot easier -- by paying off the remainder of all the layaways at a Walmart in Phillipsburg.
"I started crying. I called, I called my fiancé. I called my mother and I was balling my eyes out. I was like, 'This really happened. What is going on?'" his soon-to-be-stepmom London Rasimowicz told Fox 29.
"The first words out of our mouths, we wish we knew who this person was so we can thank them," she added.
The Secret Santa news spread after the Walmart posted the information on Facebook.
"I am not surprised. Lot of good people out there nowadays. This is just one of them," Nick Zemlachenko said, according to Fox 29.
The Walmart did not disclose how much the generous Secret Santa spent, but for all the families with layaways, the gesture will make 2018's holiday season one to remember.
Fun stories about food, relationships, the great outdoors and more.

Campfire Safety for Kids
by Kathryn Walsh
S'more-making was more relaxing before kids came along. Back then, you didn't have to figure out how to get dried strings of marshmallow out of T-shirts or live in a state of panic as long as the campfire burned. Enjoying this classic summer pastime should still be a blast for kiddos and parents alike, and ensuring that munchkins are safe around the campfire is key. When it comes to marshmallow cleanup, though, you're on your own.
Making a Safe Fire
An out-of-control campfire is just as hard to tame as an old-of-control toddler or preschooler -- though it's far more dangerous. To keep kiddos safe, the architect of your campfire needs to follow some safety rules of his own. If you're not using a prepared campfire pit, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service suggests digging a hole 2 feet across and 6 inches deep. Any campfire pit needs to be located under open air instead of under hanging branches, and the fire should be surrounded by a circle of rocks or a ridge of dirt. Arrange tinder, or dry leaves and small twigs, and small sticks in the center of the pit. After lighting these pieces, let the flames grow before adding larger pieces of dry firewood. Keep a bucket of water at hand. Another adult needs to keep kids occupied away from the fire while it's being built.
Before a Campfire
"Biting your brother is against the rules." "No eating the dog's food." "Glitter does not belong in the butter." Your munchkin is used to hearing your rules repeated over and over, and he needs to hear them before a campfire celebration. Explain that you'll show him where he's allowed to roam near the fire, and that going any closer than he's allowed will result in a swift and heartbreaking punishment -- namely, he'll have to hold your hand the rest of the night. Before the fire gets going, create a clearly visible safe zone. Use stones to make a second ring at least three feet away from the fire for him to stand behind, or to cordon off a particular area for the kiddos. Tell every child in a serious tone that "Fire can hurt. We never ever run or play around fire."
During a Campfire
Your kid-dar is finely tuned by now, and you've always got at least one eye on your tot or preschooler. When you're relaxing (as if) near a campfire, both eyes need to be on him at all times, because an accident can spark in a second. Since you'd like to enjoy yourself too, consider working out a supervision schedule with your partner and other trusted adults, but emphasize that anyone watching the kids has to be fully focused and fully sober. Munchkins shouldn't miss out on the best part of a campfire (hello, s'mores!) but unless you have superlong roasting sticks, explain that roasting marshmallows and other treats is an adult job. Putting those bad boys together, however, is a task your kiddo is up to. Just let marshmallows cool for a few minutes so his little fingers won't get roasted too.
After a Campfire
By the end of the night, the flames are dwindling and so is your little one's energy (hopefully). Putting out a campfire safely is just as important as building one safely, and this is a process that kiddos can't help with. Make sure another adult hangs around at the end of the gathering so one person can deal with the fire while another watches the kids. Don't let a fire go out on its own, says the USDA; instead, dump a bucket of water on it and use a shovel to move the sizzling pieces of wood around to make sure every piece is drenched. Continue mixing water with the ashes until they feel cool and all embers are extinguished. Even then, teach little ones to respect fire by telling them "Even though the flames are gone, it's not safe for you to go near the campfire."

Squid Game, worldwide hit, raises radical questions about choice, death and squalor
Characters can opt out of deadly game but most stay, choosing near-certain death over continued poverty
By Elliot Serure, Staff Writer|December 6, 2021
RELEVANT: Contestants in 'Squid Game' wear green or pink uniforms, which South Korean demonstrators now wear to protest against low wages and other problems in their country's economic system.
Boom. A bullet knocks a man dead, another falls, then another. They lost the game – a simple childhood game of red light-green light, with a ghoulish twist of reality.
Although Netflix's new TV series, Squid Game, shows a hellish dystopia of greed, gore, and poverty, audiences worldwide are finding truth in its underlying themes. It has become Netflix's biggest series launch and has reached more than 142 million households.
Squid Game packs a punch, but it isn't just a horror series. Its graphic storyline explores money's effects on human morality and people's spot in their economic system.
Set in South Korea, it vividly and cogently depicts the human desperation that results from poverty and debt in odious conditions in low-income areas of that country. There is only one winner, who wins a huge sum of money, while all the rest die. This is meant to represent the reality of meritocracy in South Korea, where even though one out of all the capable "contestants" will escape poverty, it is rare to do so. Most poor people will die poor.
As its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, put it, Squid Games is an "allegory or fable about modern capitalist society."
The pressures and conditions of poverty push most of the survivors to rejoin the games and compete for the money – this time knowing they face an overwhelming likelihood of death."
The games: 456 struggling South Koreans heavily indebted to creditors compete in six life-and-death children games in hope of winning a cash prize of $38 million and pulling themselves out of poverty.
When the first contestant loses, the others discover that those who lose are executed while those who win survive. After the massacre from red light-green light, in accordance with the game's rules, a majority of survivors vote to leave the game and return home.
But back at home, they are faced with a world just as unforgiving as the games. One contestant cannot afford to treat his mother's diabetes; another does not have enough money to find her missing parents and support her little brother. Another contestant due to his intense debt even attempts suicide.
Characters in the show are given the illusion of choosing whether to play a game, but in reality, there is no choice for them. They live in such repugnant and stressful conditions that even the smallest prospect of a monetary prize, tied to a near certainty of death, feels like their only viable option of survival.
And so the pressures and conditions of poverty push most of the survivors to rejoin the games and compete for the money – this time knowing they face an almost certain consequence of death.
The players continue through the different games and the contenders' numbers grow smaller as more people lose and die.
Diverse in the background but united by debt and an urgent need for money, the characters respond differently to their intolerable conditions. Some shine in continued demonstrations of morality, while others resort to primitive and barbaric behaviors.
For example, after a tug-of-war game, when the lights go out to signal night, there is a massacre. Forming tribal alliances, contestants brutally murder one another in a bloody scene reminiscent of the 1990 film Lord of the Flies.
Throughout all of the show's nine episodes, Squid Game juxtaposes violence with children's environments. Contenders are brutally killed, and brutally kill while playing classic Korean children's games, including not only red light-green light but tug-of-war and marbles. Characters are even executed on an oversized children's playground.
The cinematography helps with this juxtaposition. The imagery of the games evokes a sense of fear, but also awe and nostalgia. All of the settings seem bigger than life. For example, characters walk through a colorful pastel M.C Escher- Esque staircase before entering the games, and each game has its own unique feeling.
Squid Game's soundtrack is likewise a combination of chilling and childish. The score travels from intense music to light nursery-sounding music, sometimes even mixing the two, which further emphasizes the show's themes.
How civilized, ethical, and empathetic would you be in a world without order? "
Even though the games may not seem realistic, the stresses people experience in the series and what they will go through to escape them are painfully understandable to many. The main character, Seong Gi-Hung, is almost $500,000 in debt, divorced from his wife, and soon to be separated from his daughter; these stresses, added to the awful conditions he lives in, and the violent loan sharks threatening him, all understandably push him to re-join the games and risk his life for a change.
South Koreans have found Squid Game relatable and are using it as a means to protest for more jobs and improved working conditions. Demonstrators recently wore pink jumpsuits and black masks – the same clothing is worn by characters in Squid Game – to protest for better terms of employment.
Hwang Dong-hyuk, who is both creator and the director of the series, experienced this same distress of looming debt which likely inspired the TV Series. Mr. Hwang started writing Squid Game while in poverty himself. He wrote the series in 2009 and after being told it was too bizarre and unrealistic, he put it to rest. Ten years later, however, he decided to revive it when he observed the increase of poverty in South Korea.
"It's a sad story. But the reason I came back to the project is that today's world has become a place where these incredible survival stories are so common," the director told the Korean site Chosun. "Sadly, the world has changed and that's why it came out now."
This is not the first time a Korean production heavily rooted in themes of poverty has shocked the world. In 2020, Korean-made Parasite gained much recognition and became the first foreign movie to win Best Picture at the Oscars. The conditions in South Korea seem to be significant and spreading into their culture.
And far beyond South Korea, components of Squid Game have spread worldwide across TikTok. There's a viral Dolgona candy challenge, which requires people to delicately carve shapes out of brittle sugar cookies without breaking them, just like contestants did in the second game. Squid Game's games and imagery have gone viral, giving more people access to the TV series' harder-to-digest themes.
A few years after the Korean War, South Korea experienced enormous economic growth, making it one of the leading economies in the world and causing an increase in the overall standard of living.
However, as some South Koreans achieved immeasurable wealth, many South Koreans struggle to survive, causing a large gap between the rich and poor.
Squid Game's characters, story, and music will keep you invested and on your feet. Mr. Hwang, however, intended more than entertainment. In his work is a plethora of metaphors, and commentaries on human nature, capitalism, and authority. It begs the question, What would you do to survive? How civilized, ethical, and empathetic would you be in a world without order? What would you do for $38 million?
Such questions allude to the real-life instability of society and morality under pressure. They arouse a sense of terror that can not be accomplished with merely violence and gore: it is rather deeper, darker, and tied more fundamentally to the human experience.
They resound not far below the otherworldly and violent surface of Squid Game. And Squid Game will throw them onto you without any clear answers.
If you have the stomach for it, and the willingness to grapple with real, deep, and dark ideas, Squid Game is the show for you.

The Use of Lidar in Tunnelling Projects
By Jetcrete Oz
The application of shotcrete is a risky business at the best of times, and when combined with the difficult working conditions of a tunnel, the potential hazards are multiplied. As underground and tunnelling projects become more common, collaborative partnerships between forward-thinking civil engineers, shotcrete contractors and technological innovators are becoming more prevalent in an attempt to improve not only the way shotcrete efficiency is measured, but also to reduce the level of risk for workers.
PROCESSMONITOR LIVE combines the accuracy of LiDAR with advanced real-time data processing software, allowing Jetcrete to assess each surface prior to application and then measure and monitor the thickness of shotcrete as it is applied.
"PROCESSMONITOR LIVE safely provides us with reliable shotcrete measurements in under 3 minutes"
Before installing PROCESSMONITOR LIVE, Jetcrete relied on measuring applied concrete thickness using probes - a time consuming and inconsistent method. It also meant that operators had to return to a shotcreted surface following application, to check whether the desired thickness had been reached. In the event that it had not, the rig would have to be returned to each location to re-apply.
In addition to under-application, neither stamps nor probes allow for a rig operator to gauge if the substrate has been over-applied, meaning that the potential for wastage is high, regardless of how experienced the operator is.
SR-50 mounted on a spray rig
Another important consideration that arose in the consultation with Jetcrete was safety. From exposure to heavy machinery, potential rockfall and fall-out incidents, nozzlemen are constantly placed in harm's way once out of the rig. One of the greatest benefits of LiDAR is its remote sensing capabilities, and the resulting ability to automatically assess an environment from a distance.
Pointcloud showing scan of applied shotcrete in a tunnel and the variations in thickness
PROCESSMONITOR LIVE is designed to be mounted to a shotcrete rig, meaning that the operator can carry out an inspection at each stage of the application process from the safety of the vehicle. Aside from the obvious immediate safety improvements, the remote nature of the system also helps to complete initial risk assessments with the added assurance for clients that additional safety measures will be taken whilst working on-site.
PROCESSMONITOR LIVE was also developed with user friendliness in mind. The system is connected to a touch screen tablet, which the operator uses to capture a colour-coded image showing the profile of the target surface in real-time. Each time a layer of shotcrete has been applied, the operator can repeat the scanning process and visualise any under-sprayed areas using the colour coded scale before the rig moves on.
PROCESSMONITOR LIVE is capable of measuring the applied thickness of shotcrete down to millimetre level, meaning that wastage, even on small-scale projects, can be mitigated.
With a commitment towards industry innovation, Jetcrete has developed a reputation for delivering projects on time and on budget, without compromising the safety of workers. Often, such levels of commitment come at cost, usually in literal terms. PROCESSMONITOR LIVE has allowed Jetcrete to outpace the competition when it comes to creating a more efficient service offering which will help to secure its reputation as one of the world's leading shotcrete contractors in the mining sector.
PROCESSMONITOR LIVE has been designed for use in underground mining and construction environments

Google has built a community of manager peers to help them teach and learn from one another. There are official manager communities, but also unofficial groups that have self-organized. Both are great forums for managers to question, advise, and even vent to their fellow managers.
People manager mailing list: Create a mailing list where any people manager can join and discuss people management topics. Google's managers discuss anything from effective 1:1s to supporting a team member's promotion to expense report policies. The People Operations team only chimes in if there are specific people-related questions. Otherwise, most questions are answered by fellow managers.
Informal forums to share ideas: From manager lunches to happy hours, Google has many forums for managers to share with and challenge each other.
Manager development events: If your managers are distributed geographically, getting them together regularly can be valuable. This can be made part of an existing get-together (e.g., conference, regional event). Plan some separate sessions to help build your manager community. Google regularly brings managers together to share best practices, network, and participate in trainings.

The second installment of the "Fantastic Beasts" series set in the Wizarding World of J.K. Rowling's imagination, magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is tasked by his former teacher, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law), to put an end to the uprising of the tremendously dark and severely misguided wizard, Grindelwald (Johnny Depp). Aided by friends Queenie, Tina, Jacob, and Leta (Alison Sudol, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, and Zoë Kravitz), conquering this insurmountable task will take a brutal toll on all involved, and still, what's the fascination surrounding the mysterious Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller)? Directed by David Yates and written by J.K. Rowling, this slowly plodding setup and exposition rich screenplay appears to suffer from the all too common pitfall of middle story-itus. While not serving as the world establishing opener or apex crushing closer, attempts to create richer context come across largely as a yawn material, leaving the serious wizarding to the final act; furthermore, pivotal dramatic moments consistently lack the emotional hook or pull to add the appropriate gravity to the situation. In short, wands are swung, people die, creatures roar and fly, and at the end of it all, none of it really feels like it mattered, except of course for the last big reveal, of which I'll spare you the details. So, with hopes of a greater bridge film lost, perhaps we'll finish strong? Here's to more hocus-pocus with better focus next time? Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is rated PG-13.

It survived the ravages of war; now it faced the furies of revenge.
To Cassandra Bowsmith, the kidnapped Yankee beauty, the lavish plantation stood for everything she had loved and lost.
Once its master had saved her life and possessed her heart. Since then they had been forced from Riverrun and driven apart by the man who had been her first lover, a man now bent on revenge. Now Cassandra lived for a single compelling dream.
Alone in the stricken South, Cass returned to claim that dream. In a world seething with savage lusts, surrounded by men who would stop at nothing to destroy her, she risked her all for a daring vision of the land she was destined to share.
great story excellent read excitement suspense and a strong leading women what more could you ask for oh yeah a little romance.
River run RiverRun ranks right up at the top .
Where does Riverrun rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
River Run ranks right up at the top for me .I loved the spiraling plot and being kept in suspense!
The fact that she started out at the bottom and rose to the top !
Which character – as performed by Sara Morsey – was your favorite?
Cassie was my favorite character.
The end was very touching when they got peace and received River Run as their own.
I loved the plot ,it was a different sort of calamity .The narration was some of the best because you could separate the characters easily.
This book was action filled, just when I thought Cassandra's life was settling down something else would happen. Quite an interesting love story with many twists and turns.
Fair story,read by Sara Morsey, a good narrator.Cassandra is raped,nearly murdered etc.It seems to be a repeating theme to allow herself to be damaged by men one way or another.She was not a likable character.Cassandra is found and falls in love with the owner of Riverrun. Unfortunately her first love won't let her alone.


Turkey's relations with the European Union (EU) are observed not only in Europe, Africa, and Turkey but the entire Arab/Muslim world has become attentive to what has been presumed a developing affiliation. Turkey's eligibility for EU membership has been substantiated collectively by EU leaders in 1989, 1999, and 2004.
However, for cultural reasons some European leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the French president have reservations regarding full membership.
However in 2002 a U-turn came with the onset of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) fostering closer relations with Arab countries. The strong leadership of the Prime Minister, Rajab Erdogan, has gathered support within the Arab world on a variety of issues.
Some European observers, want Turkey in the EU. Membership would be a golden opportunity for westernization of the nation. Islamist Arabs fear that membership would force Turks to accept Christian and western culture. They applauded a rise to power by the Islamist, the late Necmetan Erbakan and the Welfare Party in 1996 hoping it marked the end of the European vision and Turkey's return to Islamic culture. Erkban's friends in the AKP claimed that there was no disagreement of the nation's Islamic character and the quest for EU membership. They maintained that growing democracy and human rights development would allow Islamic communities to harvest benefits.
