What exactly is two-fer camping? It's setting up camp in one place for several days and then breaking down and moving to a new campground to set up again. We're staying at Oak creek for 3 nights and then moving on to Lake Powell for 3 nights. This is the first time we've done something like this — setting up camp and then moving. Six nights total is the longest we've been camping as well. It should be interesting.
BTW the new tent definitely takes two of us to set up but is much sturdier.


Yet even though his day-to-day life was no longer structured by a schoolmaster or a superior officer, he did not in fact do away with having a daily schedule altogether. Instead, he created a routine he actually delighted in – because he had created it himself.
Let's take a look at a day in the life of Winston Churchill, and then discuss the way that establishing your own daily routine can greatly enhance your adulthood.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes are from The Last Lion by William Manchester.
After getting out of bed, Winston "moves toward the bathroom with an alacrity surprising for his age and weight and quickly shaves himself with a safety razor while his valet draws the first of his two daily baths." Churchill thoroughly enjoys soaking in the warm water, and lolls about, "reciting Kipling, rehearsing speeches or lectures he will soon deliver, or singing, not in the virile baritone familiar in Parliament, but in a soft, high tone." After his bath, he puts on either a blue velvet dressing gown, or one made of green and gold silk with a dragon emblazoned on the front.
Bathed and clothed, the Old Man climbs back in bed. Churchill sits propped up on some pillows and reads through a stack of the day's newspapers for the next two hours. If he finds something particularly interesting, he will pad over to his wife Clementine's room to share it with her. She's reading through the papers as well, and will similarly visit with her husband to discuss a bit of noteworthy news.
Lunch is at 1:15, so Churchill sets aside business and gets dressed to the nines (hence the aforementioned cummerbund). Churchill loves good food and good company, so he absolutely cherishes his mealtimes and enjoys making them unrushed, formal affairs. Several visitors and eminent guests invariably join him for both lunch and dinner. Churchill always dominates the conversation, but, because he is so fascinating, his guests don't mind.
Churchill believes his afternoon naps help him be much more productive. He has found that he can only produce good writing for a few hours at a stretch, before his brain gets tired and the quality diminishes. So by breaking up his schedule with a nap, he is able to have two creative working periods each day – one in the morning and one late at night – while also having time for socializing and duck feeding. During the war years, when relaxing by the pond becomes a privilege Churchill is no longer able to enjoy, he will find that his daily nap allows him to put in 16-17-hour workdays. Even being advanced in age, with the weight of the war on his shoulders, as long as he gets a total of 8 hours of sleep a day – it doesn't have to be in a single stretch – he will be able to maintain the energy of a indefatigable steam engine.
After a two-hour snooze, Churchill awakes around 5:00 pm and plays card games with his family. At 7, it's time for the second of the day's baths. As he relaxes in the water, he mulls over possible wording for some future speeches.
Churchill's night usually ends around 2 am, but when there is extra work to be done, he may not retire until 3 or 4. Then he's up again at 8 am, ready to enthusiastically romp through another quintessentially Churchillian day.
When we're children our lives are tightly scheduled by our parents and school, and we look forward to the time when we'll be able to do whatever we want with our day.
When we first move out and this privilege is finally experienced, the freedom can sometimes be a little heady at first; we do away with every semblance of a schedule…to our ultimate detriment. I know as a freshman in college, I had no routine whatsoever. Woke up when I felt like it (and frequently overslept my early classes), studied whenever the mood struck (not often), and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning playing video games. The unsurprising consequence? I almost flunked out.
Such an experience is common. For me, and for most of us, we end up adding a bit more of a schedule into our daily routine by the time we graduate – though our day-to-day lives are still led in a fairly willy-nilly fashion. And then, we get our first real job, and our experiment with completely setting our own schedule seems to come to a quick end.
Yet while most of us won't ever be able to set the schedule for our entire day the way Churchill did, all of us, even those who work a 9-5, have two glorious expanses of time to shape whichever way we'd like: our mornings and evenings. These time slots are blank canvases that, when guided by a regular routine, can be turned into the richest parts of our lives. Unfortunately, most adults instead squander them away.
Within every grownup there's a child who doesn't want any rules, and wants to be totally free to do whatever he pleases. This inner child chafes at the very word "routine" – much less the idea of scheduling his leisure hours. When we have time to ourselves, we just want to let it all hang out, and see what we feel like doing in the moment.
While an open schedule could hypothetically turn into an opportunity for doing some fun, productive, and/or creative activities, more often than not, it simply leads to the path of least resistance. You grab some take-out, piddle around with the kids while checking your phone repeatedly, and then surf the internet for "just a few minutes," which turns into two hours – and whoa, is it really time for bed already?
From 6 to 6:30 pm you sit down at the table for a homecooked meal with your wife and kids. From 6:30 to 7:30, you play a board game with the fam. Then you help the kiddos get ready for bed and read them a story before tucking them in.
Now that the little ones are asleep, you spend 8-9 working on your new hobby: woodworking. You then give yourself a half hour of just-for-fun internet surfing, before spending the next half hour reading a book. At 10:00 you read your scriptures and write in your journal. Afterwards you take a James Bond shower to help you sleep, and then jump into bed at 11:00, ready to awaken in 7 hours to begin your equally fulfilling morning routine.
Morning and evening routines can help you be much more productive and make the most out of life. You don't always have full control over your workday, but you do over these two time slots. You can use them to make sure the most important stuff gets done – from working out, to spending time with friends and family, to developing a side business, to reading and engaging in other hobbies. Far from being stifling, they can unleash your creativity and ensure you put it to use. For grownups, morning and evening routines constitute the frontline defense in fighting that most common malady of adulthood: "I feel like life's just passing me by" syndrome. You waited your whole childhood to do whatever you wanted – don't waste it with TV and mindless internet consumption!
What kinds of activities should you write into your routines? We'll talk more about the importance of work, play, and hobbies in a separate post, but for now simply know that the sky's the limit. One of course need not follow the outline of Churchill's routine; I could not in good faith suggest mirroring his drinking habit! (Though I also can't help sharing Manchester's quip about it: "It could of course be argued that had he exemplified the ideal of moderation—more exercise, less drink, less reckless behavior, fewer cigars—he might well have lived a full and rich life for many years beyond the ninety he was granted."). One's routine should include time for pursuing pastimes, building relationships, developing the mind, centering the spirit, and yes, some "indulgences" too – however you define them. As a teetotaler, you won't find me nursing a watered down whiskey, but some might consider working out every day an "indulgence." Yet it brings me such enormous pleasure, that it constitutes a sacrosanct part of my morning routine.
As a child you couldn't wait to free yourself from routine; as an adult, have the wisdom to not throw the baby out with the bathwater. You just may find that a routine you create yourself will actually turn out to be the key to having the kind of adulthood you always hoped for as a kid.

← LOVE NEVER DIES: Track by Track – Part 5
LOVE NEVER DIES: Track by Track – Part 7 →
LOVE NEVER DIES: Track by Track – Part 6
Posted on March 10, 2010 by David Fick
Part 6 of this track-by-track commentary of Love Never Dies will probably be the shortest installment, dealing with only track 16 on the original cast recording, a self-contained scene that sees all of our principle characters reunited backstage at Phantasma.
16. "Old Friends"
One of my favourite scenes in The Phantom of the Opera is the "Notes/Prima Donna" sequence. It shows that a number with energy and action can exist in the "Phantom" universe without a driving bassline, it helps to further delineate each of the characters that participates in it and it is an essential dramatic beat without which the play would not be able to make coherent meaning. You could not take out these two songs without compromising the depth of the play as a whole. I'd maybe even go as far as to say that it is the the best piece of dramatic writing in the entire show. But I digress. The point of bringing up this number is that it is time for its counterpart in Love Never Dies: a contrapunctual quartet between Meg, Christine, Madame Giry and Raoul.
Before we get into the song proper, the scene begins with a rehearsal version of a song called "Bathing Beauty" which sounds every bit as cheap and trashy as Madame Giry says it is. Cue some dramatic dialogue about how much Meg has developed over the season, how Madame Giry believes that the Phantom has begun to notice her daughter and how the Phantom has been composing some glorious music. Christine enters with an impatient Gustave in tow; she has to finalise all the practical details for her performance and he wants to see all the things he was promised the previous night. When Christine asks an apparent stranger for help, the song starts.
It turns out that the stranger is Meg and the two sing with joy at meeting once again – until Meg realises that Christine is there to sing, which would jeopardise the Phantom's attention finding it's true target from Meg's point of view. The song starts out with a melody that recalls the pair's "Angel of Music" duet from The Phantom of the Opera before settling into a pleasant waltz as they trade compliments. Sierra Boggess does a super job in her delivery of the lyric, managing both sincerity meant for Meg and an irony meant for us. It works beautifully.
The song continues with a second melodic and rhythmic theme, this time for Raoul and Madame Giry. It all works out logically if you take the time to work it out, but the impression it leaves is that a step is missing here. Raoul simply assumes that Madame Giry is working at Phantasma and, although he's correct, this attempt at economical storytelling, successfully employed in earlier moments of the show, falls flat. It feels incomplete. Also contributing to the dissatisfaction in this verse is the manner in which Madame Giry glosses over the fact that her boss is in fact the Phantom. Surely there is more fun to be had here? Surely she would know how frustrated Raoul might be to discover the information? I feel there should be a bigger build up to her revelation in this song.
Following this, we shift back to Meg and Christine and the initial musical theme, as Meg questions Christine about her performance and then back again to Raoul and Madame Giry where some questions are raised about both the Phantom and Christine's motivations.
Cue a third theme in which the partners swap, with Raoul trying to find out whether Christine knew that Mister Y was the Phantom all along and Meg having a heated exchange about Christine and Raoul's sudden appearance with her mother. This leads to a reprise of Christine and Meg's chorus, with all singing lyrics that are intended to place text and subtext in ironic contrast with one another and the back into the third theme as an appeal is made to Raoul and Christine to leave before a few final choruses bring everything all together again. We get a great big final note with a dissonant descant in the accompaniment signaling to us that this happy reunion is most certainly not as happy as it seems. Fin.
Look, it's a bit of fun, but that's it. While you certainly couldn't remove it without losing the sense of the piece, it's nowhere near as integral as piece as the "Notes/Prima Donna" sequence was – and it's this dramatic element of the sequence that is most sorely missed. With a a couple of incredibly under-developed characters (Raoul and Meg) on the stage, this is a completely underutilised opportunity.
The song ends and Gustave is missing and Christine goes off to find him.
Final verdict: I like this sequence, but I don't love it. I don't love it because it's not as dramatically inventive as it should be. It should be filled with character development – nuances, not only broad strokes – and should be a moment that takes allows us to sink into the details situation instead of just speeding us across it. That it could be done in a number that isn't slow and treacly and in a way that isn't merely another section of stodgy dialogue makes it even harder to bear the fact that this is a wasted moment, even if it is a diverting one. If this song is the "Prima Donna" section of the matching sequence of this show's forerunner, we need to have a "Notes" section in which the characters and their relationships can be built up. It might also be desirable to extend this into a sextet instead of a quartet, incoriporating Gustave and the Phantom in some way too. Perhaps it is already in this moment that Gustave can show traits that peak the Phantom's interest in him. Perhaps not. I'm not sure how the puzzle is meant to come together in this number, but I am certain that there are a few pieces missing. I do hope that Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ben Elton and Glenn Slater make some move towards finding them as they refine the show.

Our Managing Director, Stewart Ower, was presented with an Honorary Life Membership to the UKSpill Association yesterday evening at their Annual General Meeting and Awards Dinner at the Waterman's Guild Hall, London.
Stewart, who has spent over 25 years within the Environment Protection industry, has watched and supported the Association grow from its inception in 2004 and more recently served as its Chairman between 2015 and 2017. During his term as Chairman, Stewart helped to raise the profile of UKSpill and improve the standards of spill response within the sector.
Spill Training Course At Fire Service College A Huge Success – Book Your Space Now!
Last month, Compass Environmental delivered their UKSpill Approved Advanced Environment Protection Techniques spill training course to specialist Fire Officers from across the UK at the Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh.
The day comprised of a morning session, studying the response to real life spillage incidents, followed by an afternoon practical session on the Fire Ground tackling a complex spill scenario. We are pleased to say that all 26 delegates successfully passed the course.
In partnership with the college, we are now opening up this course to wider industry. So, whether you are a professional spill response company, a business that has the potential to cause environmental pollution through spillages or an in-house trainer seeking expertise in this area, this course is for you!
Our next course at the Fire College will take place in March 2019. The cost of this will be £350 + VAT per person with a maximum of 8 delegates per course to ensure every attendee gets good hands on experience. There is accommodation available on site for an additional cost of £80 per night for dinner, bed and breakfast.
For more information and to book your place on our March 2019 course, click here.
In conjunction with Evergreen Insurance Services and Aviva, one of the UK's largest insurers, we are delighted to announce the launch of Oilshield – a new insurance and risk management product for fuel oil distributors.
With limited choice in the market and distributors facing ever increasing commercial risks, we identified a real need for a fresh and innovative solution specifically targeted at the fuel oil distribution sector. That solution is Oilshield – a comprehensive insurance and risk management package that provides protection for your whole business, all under one policy.
Oilshield embeds risk management at the heart of every policy. Compass Environmental will be working with each client to identify and manage risk through the development and delivery of a bespoke risk management programme. In addition, Compass will be providing a 24/7 Spillage Claims Management Service. Our extensive experience in managing thousands of incidents will ensure the reputation of our clients and the environment are protected through the proactive management of spillage claims.
Our Advanced Environment Protection Techniques Spill Training course has been embedded into the HazMat Advisor Course at the Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh.
The HazMat Advisor Courses train specialist officers within the Fire Service to deal with incidents where hazardous materials are involved. Often these incidents pose serious risk to the environment and so the College has recognised the need to include an Environment Protection Module in its training of these officers.
Our Managing Director, Stewart Ower, has been welcomed as an Associate Tutor at the College and will deliver the one day Environment Protection Module which incorporates both classroom and practical exercises on the fire ground, a world class training facility which permits the creation of very realistic incident scenarios.
In addition, Compass and the Fire Service College will be marketing our Advanced Environment Protection Techniques Spill Training course commercially so that delegates from wider industry can benefit from this unique training opportunity.
The team at Compass got hands on and covered in soot with a Blacksmithing experience yesterday at Anvil Forge!
Our day kicked off with the task of creating our own pokers, giving us a chance to practice the fundamentals of Blacksmithing and to play with fire!
Once our technique had been perfected, we then had the opportunity to hone our craftsmanship with our own personal projects. Instead of using this as a chance to make augers (a complete oversight on our part), the team used their new skills to create candle holders, hooks, garden accessories and Christmas decorations!
The last part of the day was spent building a team piece that will take pride of place in our headquarters. Whether it was bending metal with brute strength; wielding an angle grinder to put on the 'delicate touches' or smashing a hammer to create a subtle pattern, everyone played their part in piecing together our company logo.
Another job well done by Compass Environmental!

Emotions are more than just what we feel. When we experience an emotion there are many things happening at a biochemical and cellular level. In this interview with Stacey Vornbrock we talk about what happens physically when we feel emotions, how we can become addicted to them, and how to break that addiction. By recognizing the addictive nature of some emotions we can find see our way to new ways to tap.
Bio: Stacey Vornbrock, M.S. has been pioneering the use of EFT with professional and amateur athletes to release mental, emotional, physical, and mechanical blocks on the cellular level since 2003. She is recognized as a leading expert and innovator in the use of EFT with sports performance. Most notably, she has pioneered the application of EFT with injury and surgery recovery, releasing soreness, increasing range of motion, and making sports-related mechanical changes in minutes.
Tapping protocol that Stacey talked about during the interview.
Thanks so much. This is simply amazing!
I've been using this protocol for about 8 weeks on a stress-related clenching of my jaw. Any time I get upset/anxious/stressed/goodness knows what, the muscles in my jaw just lock up. It is incredibly painful and that adds to what ever it is that contributed to it in the first place.
This protocol has really helped with releasing the addiction to tension in my jaw. I've got to the point where my jaw is relaxed and doesn't hurt, and I can address the underlying causes.
As Gene says, this isn't a five minute fix and it does take time for this protocol to kick in. But calmly and working through the whole system is very helpful and releases emotions in a safe and balanced way.
What a fabulous podcast! I never heard of this kind of addiction before but I can certainly relate to it and I plan to tap on it like Stacy says, thank you.

Q: JavaFX Append to right click menu for TextField When you right click on a TextField there are Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, and Select All options.
I want to add a "Register" MenuItem to that list from my controller class, but do not know how.
Here is what I got so far:
This overwrites the existing menu items:
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
MenuItem register = new MenuItem("Register");
contextMenu.getItems().add(register);
charName.setContextMenu(contextMenu);

Both of these return null:
charName.getContextMenu()
charName.contextMenuProperty().getValue()

A: You can replace the in-built TextField ContextMenu by setting your own (as below):

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class GiveMeContext extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
        MenuItem register = new MenuItem("Register");
        contextMenu.getItems().add(register);

        TextField textField = new TextField();
        textField.setContextMenu(contextMenu);

        stage.setScene(new Scene(textField));
        stage.show();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        launch(args);
    }
}

Adding to the in-built ContextMenu is a bit tricker and requires overriding non-public API.
You cannot get the in-built ContextMenu using the public textField.getContextMenu property as it is not returned (that method only returns a menu that has been set by the application code, not the internal JavaFX control skin implementation).

Be aware that the following code will almost certainly break in Java 9 as it uses deprecated com.sun APIs which will likely no longer be available.  For further details on this, refer to JEP 253: Prepare JavaFX UI Controls & CSS APIs for Modularization
import com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.TextFieldSkin;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class GiveMeContext extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        TextField textField = new TextField();
        TextFieldSkin customContextSkin = new TextFieldSkin(textField) {
            @Override
            public void populateContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu) {
                super.populateContextMenu(contextMenu);
                contextMenu.getItems().add(0, new SeparatorMenuItem());
                contextMenu.getItems().add(0, new MenuItem("Register"));
            }
        };
        textField.setSkin(customContextSkin);

        stage.setScene(new Scene(textField));
        stage.show();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        launch(args);
    }

— японский эсминец типа «Кагэро». Назван в честь одноимённого течения. Третий по счёту из 19 эсминцев типа «Кагэро», построенных в 1937—1941 годах на японских верфях для Императорского Флота Японии в рамках  (Maru San Keikaku).

Предыстория
Эскадренные миноносцы типа «Кагеро» были внешне практически идентичны эсминцам типа «Асасио», но с улучшениями, сделанными японскими конструкторами. Они были разработаны, чтобы сопровождать японские главные силы и отражать нападения ВМС США в дневное и ночное время по мере продвижения через Тихий океан, в соответствии с японскими военно-морскими стратегическими прогнозами. Несмотря на то что эсминцы типа «Кагеро» относились к одним из самых мощных кораблей своего класса в мире в момент их завершения, только один из 19 построенных выжил во время войны на Тихом океане.

История
Заложен 31 августа 1937 года на верфи «Fujinagata» (Осака), спущен 25 октября 1938 года, вошёл в строй 27 января 1940 года. Вскоре после ввода в эксплуатацию, «Куросио» был назначен для участия в 16-х ежегодных манёврах Объединённого флота. По возвращении, в 18:00 часов 23 июня 1941 года, он столкнулся с эсминцами «Нацусио» и «Минэгумо» в проливе Бунго, в результате чего месяц ремонтировался в .

Во время нападения на Пёрл-Харбор, «Куросио» был включён в 15-й дивизион эсминцев (DesDiv 15)  и базировался на Палау. Использовался как часть эскорта для авианосца «Рюдзё» во время вторжения на Филиппины и минного заградителя «Ицукусима». 23 декабря получил незначительные повреждения от бреющего нападения бомбардировщиков USAAF B-17 Flying Fortress.

В начале 1942 года «Куросио» участвовал во вторжении в Голландскую Ост-Индию, сопровождая силы вторжения в Манадо, Кендари и Амбон в январе, а также силы вторжения в Макассар, Тимор и Яву в феврале. 8 февраля «Куросио» спас выживших при потоплении «Нацусио». 5 марта при содействии эсминца «Оясио» потопил минный заградитель британского флота. В конце марта сопровождал авианосец «Кага» из залива Staring-baai в Сулавеси на базу в .

В конце апреля «Куросио» отправился из Куре для оказания помощи в оккупации островов Кагаян близ Палавана в начале мая, а 17 мая вернулся с повреждённым авианосцем «Сёкаку» из Манилы в Куре. В начале июня «Куросио» вышел из Сайпана для сопровождения транспортов по перевозки войск для участия в битве за Мидуэй.

В середине июня «Куросио» был включён в корабли сопровождения крейсеров для участия в планируемом рейде в Индийском океане, но операция была отменена к тому времени он достиг Мергуи в Бирме. После этого он был переназначен в качестве корабля сопровождения крейсеров «Кумано» и «Судзуя», действовавших в районе Баликпапана и Соломоновых островов. Во время битвы за Восточные Соломоновы острова 24 августа «Куросио» был частью передового соединения 2-я флота (вице-адмирал Нобутакэ Кондо), но в бою участия так и не принял. В течение сентября «Куросио» использовался для патрулирования между островами Трук и Гуадалканалом, а в октябре присоединился к «Токио Экспресс», снабжавшему подкреплениями, оружием и боеприпасами армейские силы, действовавшие на островах вокруг Новой Гвинеи и Соломоновых островах. Эти операции продолжались до середины февраля 1943 года. Во время битвы за Санта-Крус 26 октября 1942 года «Куросио» сопровождал авианосец «Дзюнъё». Также «Куросио» участвовал в бою у Тассафаронга 30 ноября, в ходе которой одна из его торпед, возможно, поразила американский тяжёлый крейсер «Пенсакола».

21 февраля 1943 года «Куросио» вместе с «Дзюнъё» вернулся в Куре для ремонта. 10 апреля он вместе с авианосцами  и  прибыл на Трук. В конце апреля «Куросио» был перебазирован на остров Шортленд и переназначен для сопровождения войсковых транспортов.

В ночь с 7 на 8 мая 1943 года «Куросио», сопровождая транспорты с войсками на Коломбангару, подорвался на мины при выходе из Вилы (Коломбангара), взорвался и затонул в точке с координатами (). Погибло 83 члена экипажа. Удалён из списков флота 20 июня 1943 года.

"I was born in London, Educated at Ampleforth College near York, and a school run by Benedictine monks that emphasized the student's creative and spiritual development. I trained and qualified as an architect in 1970 at the Central London Polytechnic. Then traveled in the US and Central America and designed and help build houses in Mexico for archaeological workers who were on long-term excavation projects of ancient Zapotec temples. I went to live in New York in 1971 where I worked as an architect and lived on the Bowery in the lower east side. I met many of the Warhol factory crowd but I was too timid and conservative to throw myself headlong into that world, and anyway my 9 to 5 architectural office job was very time consuming. Just before I returned to England I went to see an exhibition of self-portrait photographs by the artist Lucas Sumares and was instantly inspired to take up photography myself I returned to London in 1972 and started taking photos of artists, fashion designers and rock stars. After only 2 years of taking photos the artist Patrick Proctor introduced me to Sir Roy Strong, the then director of the National Portrait Gallery. He and Colin Ford (in charge of photography) offered me a one-man show. In 1974 I exhibited my photos at the National Portrait Gallery."

The whole Sangma family breaks down near the casket in Tura on Monday.
TURA: The sun a drop of amber, the wind a soft lay; it seemed as though the earth had prepared an elaborate requiem for the parting patriarch.
Right from the residence of Purno Agitok Sangma at Walbakgre as the cavalcade began, mourners lined up the road to pay their last respects, some having braved the humid weather for hours.
The venue for the state funeral couldn't have been at a better place other than the MP stadium, now called the Dikki Bandi stadium, which was the dream of the late leader to establish a sporting arena dedicated to the youth of Garo Hills.
Terming Purno Sangma's death a great loss to the nation, the Chief Minister added that the people of Garo Hills feels it the most. "The voice which represented us has fallen silent," said Mukul Sangma.
He also termed Late Sangma as an instrument of stability during an era when political instability was the order of the day in the state.
"As a leader who dared to dream big, his words will inspire all of us. He was loved by all- his political comrades and opponents alike" said the Chief Minister.
The state funeral witnessed mammoth crowds of people who thronged the venue from different corners of Garo Hills even as dignitaries of various political parties came to pay their last respects.
The Meghalaya police accorded a 21 gun salute as a mark of respect to the departed leader while floral wreaths were laid by the dignitaries on the casket which had been draped with the national tricolor.
Floral tributes were paid by the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister RC Laloo, Chief Adviser to the Government of Meghalaya, DD Lapang, former Chief Minister and State Planning Board Chairman Salseng C. Marak, MP and former Chief Minister of Nagaland, Neiphiu Rio, former Chief Minister of Manipur, R B Koijam, former Union Minister and Working President, NPP, Arvind Netam, Meghalaya Assembly Speaker, A T Mondal, Leader of the Opposition & former Chief Minister, Donkupar Roy, Speaker of Nagaland Assembly, Chotisuh Sazo, Cabinet ministers Prestone Tynsong, Debora C. Marak, A.L. Hek, Zenith Sangma, Roshan Warjri, Clement Marak and Ampareen Lyngdoh, while floral wreathe on behalf of the Assam Governor P B Acharya was laid by Shillong MP Vincent Pala and on behalf of Meghalaya Governor V. Shanmuganathan the wreathe was placed by his ADC Dy Comdt. Trideep Sangma. Dignitary after dignitary, during their speech, spoke highly of the contributions P A Sangma made for the north east and the country as a whole. They termed his demise an irreparable loss which had created a vacuum.
Condolence messages received from across the country, including from the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee and AICC President Sonia Gandhi, were also read out during the programme.
As the mortal remains of the late leader were handed over to the family and the final journey began for the funeral service at the Cathedral church, 7 kms away, thousands of people lined the streets to bid their last farewell and have a glimpse of his casket.
Bishop of Tura, Rt Rev Andrew R Marak, led a large number of priests in concelebrating holy mass in memory of P A Sangma and read from the holy Bible about the resurrection of Lazarus by Christ. The premises of the church and the road leading to it were choke-a-bloc with people as the body of P A Sangma was laid to rest at the cemetery just as darkness had descended and gloom had spread among his well-wishers.

Cree, like other First Nations languages, is an endangered language – that much is clear. According to one former First Nations University (FNUniv) student, the University's teaching system is a big part of the problem.
Last year, Eisel Mazaard, 34, took four courses in Cree at FNUniv in the space of 12 months, and emerged not being able to speak a complete sentence in the language.
"If you had a program teaching a language and none of the students learned how to say "where's the bathroom," I would say that's a disaster,"' he said.
According to Mazaard, Cree courses are not designed to teach students to speak the language. Rather, they are structured so that students can pass written exams. For Mazaard, this is a problem because he, unlike most students "who took the Cree class for an easy A+," wants to speak the language fluently.
"The first surprise was that I was the only one in my class trying to learn the Language. The classes are not majority Cree people. The vast majority of the students are white people who have no interest in speaking the language after the final exam," observed Mazaard.
A few weeks into his first course, Mazaard requested some speaking exercises from his professor or if the professor could read a story to the class in Cree. Both never happened.
Arok Wolvengrey, an Associate Professor with Algonquian Language Studies and Linguistics at FNUniv has met with Mazaard and understands his concerns. However, Wolvengrey, and other professors found their hands tied by university regulations.
According to Wolvengrey, the University requires that 75 per cent of all material in language classes be recorded in such a way that they can be reassessed in exams.
"For the language classes, what do you do for that kind of requirement if …75 per cent of the material has to be reassessed? Well, you have writing, and so a lot of our introductory courses had, for the longest time, a large proportion geared simply toward learning the written form of the language," said Wolvengrey.
There are other classes designed for students who want to learn the speaking aspect of First Nations languages like Cree, but those classes require one to have a basic understanding of the language. For someone like Mazaard ,who had no foundational knowledge of Cree, it was next to impossible to learn conversational Cree at FNUniv.
Kristy Auger is a first year student at FNUniv. She is learning Cree and enjoying the experience so much, that she is already speaking the language quite well.
Unlike Mazaard, however, Auger is Cree, and her Cree speaking relatives are a phone call away when she needs a little help with the language. Before she left her home in Fort St. Johns, B.C. to study the language at FNUniv, she spent a year with her eighty-two-year-old grandmother who can only communicate in Cree.
"Before I even took the class … I would be able to say basic phrases like 'hello, how are you?' I could say that even before I started Cree 100, so in that sense, I did have an advantage,'" said Auger.
One of the main reasons why Auger finds herself so compelled to learn her native language is because much of her culture is so intertwined with the language.
"There are certain ceremonies that I wouldn't be able to learn if I'm not fluent in the language, because you have to be able to pray in the language. That's just the way it is, and so its essential for carrying on the culture," she explained.
Auger is concerned that if her language becomes extinct, so will her culture.
"Since I started learning about our history and the language, my life has become so much better. Growing up, I used to be ashamed to be Native, but not anymore," she said, happily.
Interestingly, Mazaard's reason for learning Cree is not far different from Auger's. He planned to embark on a project documenting Cree oral history, but since he didn't learn the language, he feels bereft of the most important tool to tackle the project.

Emergency meeting to remember Her Majesty The Queen
Kāpiti Coast District Council will hold an emergency meeting prior to their Strategy and Operations and Audit and Risk meetings on Thursday 15 September 2022.
The emergency meeting will be held at 9am in the Civic Building, Paraparaumu, providing Council with an opportunity to remember Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Kāpiti Coast Mayor K Gurunathan says the meeting will include a minute's silience as part of the proceedings, which is just one of the many ways Council is marking Her Majesty's passing.
"Council flags have been flying at half-mast since Friday morning, and we have provided places for people to lay flowers and sign condolence books. It's been heart-warming to see many of our community members taking up this opportunity," says Mayor Gurunathan.
"We are also preparing for the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day, a one-off Public Holiday that is being held on 26 September."
At Thursday's emergency meeting, Council will also be asked to formally appoint Ngāti Toa Rangātira's nominated representative to its Strategy and Operations Committee, giving effect to Council's decision on increased mana whenua representation from earlier in the year.
"This meeting will be livestreamed but also marks the first time Council will open its Chambers to members of the public following the lifting of the COVID-19 traffic light system last night," says Mayor Gurunathan.
"As we learn to live in a world where COVID-19 is part of everyday life, we still strongly encourage people to help keep our community safe and healthy.
"If you're unwell, take a RAT test and please don't visit any of our facilities. Exercise good hygiene, and while there's no longer a requirement to wear masks when you visit our facilities, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask we encourage you do to so."
Passing of Queen Elizabeth II


"Flowers to brighten your home and to warm your heart from Cavanaugh Color." A mom-and-pop operation, the Cavanaugh family prides itself on its customer service and product quality.
*In the early 1970s, Southern California residents Dave and Nancy Cavanaugh established Flower Street Nursery, a small nursery and retail store located in Costa Mesa.
A horticulture graduate of Cal Poly Pomona, Dave began changing the focus of the business from selling to growing. After an extensive search throughout California for an appropriate parcel of land on which to grow their plants, the couple purchased 10 acres in Watsonville in 1978 and started Hawaiian Tropicals, a nursery specializing in protea and other tropical plants.
Solely a wholesale business at the time, the nursery eventually moved away from growing tropical plants and began focusing on annuals and perennials to meet local retail demand. In the mid-1980s, the couple changed the nursery's name to Cavanaugh Color.
In 2000, the couple's son Jon took a more active role in the business. In 2002, Jon decided to test the waters of selling to customers directly by taking plants to the Santa Cruz Flea Market. The experiment was successful, and Cavanaugh Color began selling at farmers markets in both the South Bay and the Monterey Bay areas. The nursery became a member of the MBCFM in 2005.
Roughly 25 percent of sales come from farmers markets with the remainder coming from wholesale accounts. The nursery has four full-time employees, all of whom have been with the nursery for more than 20 years. Another four are brought on for seasonal work; six additional workers sell at the farmers markets weekly.
With Jon as the general manager, Dave continues to monitor operations while Nancy works as the sales manager and shares the accounting duties with Jon. The couple's daughter Katie also helps with the business on occasion.

Q: What are advantages and disadvantages of dynamic type in Ruby? Let's say I have a class called Tool:
class Tool
    def initialize( name, weight )
        @name = name
        @weight = weight
    end

    attr_reader :name, :weight
    attr_writer :name, :weight

    def to_s
        name + " " + weight
    end
end

But this Tool can be a person if I want to:
hammer = Tool.new( "Hammer", 14.5 )
pp = Tool.new( "first", "last" )

It's flexible because I can create one type and use for multiple purposes. However, if user accidentally makes a typo, it will definitely lead to wrong data type, how can we track the issue?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this idea?

A: Ruby is not loosely typed at all. Quite the contrary, it's very strongly typed. However it is also dynamically typed (as opposed to statically typed, such as C++ and Java). You should do some reading on the differences. PHP is an example of a loosely typed language.
And to answer your question, dynamically-typed languages such as Ruby and Python are very difficult to write with any amount of complexity without employing Test-Driven Development. That is, trying your hardest to write tests first to explain expectations and to define your classes and APIs such that people will know how to use them simply by using common sense. If you're really worried about clients passing invalid types to your methods, you can always type-check and throw exceptions if the types are incorrect. However, this is not typically done system-wide.

A: Static typing in most languages (well, Java & friends, I'm not considering the Haskell family here) makes programs verbose and over-constrains them, with little return at the design level. What's important when establishing a relation between two objects is what role they play and responsibilities they have, not what their type is, so static typing makes you think at the wrong level.
About robustness, just like null pointers, type errors typically cause catastrophic failure rather quickly, so they will never go undetected for long. So IMHO the class of errors prevented by static typing is not that interesting. On the other hand, anyone could write Tool.new( "Hammer", -42 ) which would be correct typewise, but the negative weight would probably lead to very strange behavior without failure. That's because that argument's role is a weight, which is never negative, and you cannot express that with a simple numeric type. So what's really needed at design time is not static types, but validations or contracts as in Eiffel.
Now, consider unanticipated software evolution: you want to integrate support for SI units. Do you see why the design decision of statically typing that parameter to number now looks like a premature one? In a dynamically typed system it's easier to craft a new object that knows arithmetic but takes unit conversions into account, and to use that directly in place of numbers in the existing code.
Of course, static types have documentation value, and dynamically typed languages require some discipline in that area, namely clear naming, good tests, good comments... but none of those are superfluous with static typing anyway.

A: I wouldn't describe that as loosely or dynamically typing - rather it's using one class for two distinct purposes. In general, you shouldn't create a class that general to store completely disparate sets of data.
The disadvantages of your method are as you mentioned - user confusion and potential bad data. You should probably create a second class, Person, to handle your objects that are people.  It eliminates confusion and has zero potential for users to make a typo and create the wrong data type.
[edit]
And to prevent users from entering bad data, you could modify your weight= method that is created by your attr_writer like so:
def weight= value
 @weight = value.to_i # only store integers
end

Or check that the string entered is actually a number and raise an exception if not.

Roswell UFO Crash: There Were 2 Crashes, Not 1, Says Ex-Air Force Official
By Lee Speigel
The 1947 UFO controversy of Roswell, N.M. is like a bad penny: It keeps turning up.
The legend, rehashed by conspiracy theorists in countless documentaries, revolves around allegations that an unusual object fell from the sky -- an object so bizarre that the U.S. Air Force issued a press release that a flying saucer had crashed.
That story was quickly recanted, creating what would become one of the greatest urban legends in American history.
Until now, most debunkers doubted that there was even one crash. Now, in an exclusive interview, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French told The Huffington Post that there were actually two crashes.
. . . "There were actually two crashes at Roswell, which most people don't know," French told HuffPost. "The first one was shot down by an experimental U.S. airplane that was flying out of White Sands, N.M., and it shot what was effectively an electronic pulse-type weapon that disabled and took away all the controls of the UFO, and that's why it crashed." . . .

Biological tissue database building scientific collaboration
Lauren Meyer and Madi Green named their database Otlet after the Belgian information scientist Paul Otlet. PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIPEDIA
By Jessianne Castle EBS Contributor
LIVINGSTON – Lauren Meyer, a doctoral student at Flinders University in South Australia, nearly failed her Australian honours degree simply because she couldn't get her hands on enough shark liver.
"I had spent months trying to source shark liver, which sounds odd, but is very difficult to obtain and I couldn't find enough for the research I needed to do," she wrote in a recent email to EBS. Meyer, who grew up in the Northern Rockies, was looking at toxin buildup in large sharks and needed the livers in order to measure the toxin levels.
In an effort to access samples, she attended shark fishing tournaments, contacted fishermen and called fellows scientists, to no avail. "Shark livers are especially hard to find because you need to kill the shark to get the tissue samples," she said. "Despite my constant e-mailing and calling of research teams along the entire east coast of Australia, I was out of luck as no one had spare liver samples at the time."
Just a few months later, while attending a conference, she was surprised to hear that another scientist had leftover shark liver sitting in the freezer. "I didn't realize I just wasn't contacting the right researchers who did have samples."
Meyer says it was that moment when she realized just how disconnected universities and research institutes are when it comes to utilizing biological samples. Frustrated from missing out on the opportunity to collaborate, Meyer and fellow biologist Madi Green decided to create a tool that would help researchers fully utilize their samples and create collaboration.
In June of 2018, the duo launched Otlet, a database designed for sharing and finding biological samples. Without handling the physical tissues, Otlet allows scientists to upload information about the kinds of animal samples they have left over after investigative projects. Researchers looking for animal tissue or data can then search the database and request access to samples.
With nearly 300 active users spanning 30 countries, Otlet serves to connect scientists internationally, making research more accessible, affordable and timely.
According to Meyer and Green, thousands of researchers collect biological samples from around the globe every day in an often expensive and lengthy process. Meanwhile, others discard samples or leave them closed up in storage, unsure what to do with them. On top of that, destructive sampling—when an animal must be euthanized in order to obtain a specific tissue—often results in unused tissues and leftover samples that could be otherwise utilized.
"Invasive and destructive sampling will still be necessary for a number of different research programs, irrespective of our platform and effective research collaborations," Meyer said. "However, it is with this destructive sampling we see the tool being especially useful."
She gave the example of connecting different research teams looking at diet with stomach contents, muscle and liver, those studying brains and eyes, and those understanding populations through genetics. "By being more effective with sharing these samples, it will result in less need for destructive sampling in the long run and help expand research programs now."
Meyer said there are many applications for this collaboration within the Greater Yellowstone and beyond. "Connecting research teams around the world, including those in Yellowstone, means that the scientists studying bird migration from Canada have easier access to genetic samples of birds as they move through the national park; the cougar researchers from across North America can share blood samples to look at diet across different habitats; and the fish ecologist based at the University of Montana can access jaws from freshwater fish in Australia to compare morphology."
"In a time when the natural world is facing so many challenges, being able to study and understand more, on global scale, is really powerful," she added.
In the spirit of accessible information, Green and Meyer decided to name their database Otlet after the Belgian information scientist Paul Otlet. Born in 1868, Otlet spent his life fostering universal access to knowledge by reimagining how to connect people to information well before the advent of Alan Turing's computer.
Otlet attempted to create a repository of all the world's knowledge in his Mundaneum project, whereby facts and ideas were written on individual index cards. The collection totaled over 12 million cards and people could request information by mail. It's reported that by 1912, Otlet and his team managed 1,500 requests annually.
According to Meyer and Green, Otlet's fostering of international work and emphasis on building connections are ideals that drive the overall global expansion of knowledge. On the database's website, they write, "These are the visions we seek to instill within Otlet today."

Smart Toys are Hackable & can be used to Spy on Children!
Updated on July 4, 2019 By Ashwin S
We as adults are using the technology in every possible way to make our work easy and fun. From tablets, Smartwatches to Smartphones we are using the latest gadgets in our lifestyle.
Those days are gone when we love to play the regular games with our toys and dolls as there are various and latest smart toys available in the market. Wide options are available for both youngsters and adults.
We love how these new age tech toys interact with the toddlers as it compensates your time which you are not able to manage with your child.
Some people consider it a good source of information as it makes their child learn with every interaction. But every coin has an opposite side too; what if the so cute toy of your child is listening to word you are saying and, use it without informing you.
Watch Promotional video for Cayla – The smart Toy:
Issues with "My Friend Cayla" and "I-Que Intelligent Robot"
The entry of new engaging smart tech toys has just begun. These intelligent and cute looking toys are designed specially to interact with your children.
They behave like their friend or a guide to this world full of new things.
But never fully trust them because these smart toys come with security and privacy holes.
This video explains the toys shortcoming:
Serious complaints are filed with such toys makers for the security and privacy breach of the children as well as the adults whose devices were connected with such toys.
These complaints were against Genesis Toys, the makers of new age smart toys such as My Friend Cayla and I-Que Intelligent Robot for children.
The company manufactures dolls both for young girls and boys. In the complaints made it was mentioned that the company collects and uses the personal information from children in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and FTC rules.
It is because they are using unfair and deceptive practices which are highly prohibited.
Genesis works with the most popular voice recognition software company known as Nuance Communications, this company has also worked for the 'Siri' which works on apple devices.
The Center for Digital Democracy (CDD), Consumers Union, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) are the groups which are filing the complaints against the Genesis.
What are the complaints?
According to the study by various groups, it is found that both of these smart toys use the techniques such as voice recognition, internet connectivity, and Bluetooth. This helps them to engage with children and toddlers in an easy conversational manner.
These toys are able to answer the various questions asked by the users (the kids). According to CDD, it is done in very wild and insecure way.
According to the manufacturers both My Friend Cayla and i-QUE use Nuance Communications voice-recognition platform to listen and respond to queries. And most of the queries/ conversational features can be accessed offline.
But various searches require internet connectivity too.
The problem arises when these companies collect personal information from children and the users connected to these toys with the help of Internet.
This leads to serious and legal obligations to protect children's privacy. COPPA makes sure that the collection and use of information about young children should be treated with care and avoided when possible.
The complaints are also related to the security measures not taken by Genesis.
It is not possible to prevent the unauthorized Bluetooth connections while using the toys, Strangers and other unknown authorities can easily record the conversations and can use it for illegal work.
This creates a substantial risk of harm because children may be subject to predatory stalking or physical danger.
Don't Go With The Hype
These dolls and other smart tech toys are introduced in the market with a strong marketing strategy which makes you and your children buy them as an educational, entertaining or necessary gadget.
These dolls work are able to connect with your Smartphones with some specific apps. They do not require any passcode or authentication pin when you need to connect it with a Bluetooth device, which makes this issue vulnerable.
Some questions are specifically recorded to these toys and some recordings and are sent to Nuance's servers for analyses.
We don't know how much personal information is being sent to these servers and how they going to use it The Privacy Policy is still not clear about it.
As these toys are fresh and newly introduced with a hype in both online and offline market. Double check the Bluetooth setup and other terms and condition before buying them in this holiday season but make sure the privacy of your child should not be affected by such toys.
