US Braces For "Bomb Cyclone", Thousands Of Flights Cancelled, Highways Shut
Tens of millions of people were under winter storm warnings or advisories.
A once-in-a-generation winter storm with temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit (Celsus) caused Christmas travel chaos in the United States on Thursday, with thousands of flights canceled and major highways closed.
Heavy snow and howling winds upended holiday plans at one of the busiest times of the year as a massive cold front swooped down from the Arctic and frozen the center of the country.
Tens of millions of people were under winter storm warnings or warnings, and meteorologists said it was so cold in places that anyone venturing outside risked frostbite within minutes.
AccuWeather forecasters said the storm could quickly intensify into what is known as a "bomb cyclone."
"This is not like a snow day as a kid," President Joe Biden told reporters. "This is serious stuff."
Whiteouts and dangerous road conditions were already spreading, even as 100 million people were expected to take to the roads, according to the American Automobile Association.
'NO TRIPS'
I-90, a major northbound highway in South Dakota, was closed and officials said it would not reopen until Friday.
"Crews are using all resources across the state to clear and restore roadways," the South Dakota Department of Transportation said.
"There are currently multiple highways listed as 'Road Impassable' … the stretch of road is physically impossible to travel due to extensive drifting and deep snow."
Conditions were cold enough for people to post videos of themselves doing the "boiling water challenge".
About 100 drivers were stranded near Rapid City, the Pennington County Sheriff's Office tweeted.
"DOES NOT RECOMMEND TRAVEL," he added.
Flight tracking website Flightaware.com showed more than 22,000 flights were delayed and 5,500 canceled on Thursday, many at Chicago O'Hare or Denver, both international hubs.
Madison Painter told CNN that she and her fiancé decided to drive 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) after their flight from Chicago to Atlanta was canceled.
"I wanted to come home to our families," he said.
Holiday travel volumes are expected to remain close to pre-pandemic levels, with the busiest day on Thursday, three days before Christmas.
AccuWeather forecasters said the storm could quickly strengthen through a process known as a "bomb cyclone," a process called "bombogenesis," when barometric pressure drops and a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass.
The National Weather Service warned that heavy snow — bursts of snow lasting an hour or two — had already occurred or were expected from the Central Plains to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Montana forecasters said they were expecting the coldest Arctic night on Thursday, with temperatures in the -40s Fahrenheit and wind chills that would push the temperature to a bone-crushing -60 Fahrenheit, slightly warmer than Mars. Data from NASA.
Rich Maliawco, chief forecaster for the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Montana, said an invading high pressure system was pushing the clouds away.
"When the sky is so clear… the temperatures will drop significantly," he told AFP.
While longtime residents have experienced temperatures in that range, such extreme weather can be dangerous, Maliawco said.
"When it gets that cold, anyone can have problems," he said.
"With these kinds of wind chills, if you're not wearing those warm layers … unprotected skin can get frostbite in less than five minutes."
Conditions were cold enough that people posted videos of themselves doing the "boiling water challenge," where boiling water is thrown into the air and immediately freezes.
"We have our cloud formation @ -17°F (-27°C) at #Missoula International Airport," tweeted the NWS in Missoula, Montana.
State of exception
In Minneapolis and Saint Paul, more than eight inches (20 centimeters) of snow accumulated in a 24-hour period, the NWS said in a Thursday morning update.
Forecasters in Montana said they were expecting the coldest night in the Arctic on Thursday.
Further east in Buffalo, New York, forecasters called it a "once-in-a-generation storm" with wind gusts of more than 65 miles (105 kilometers) per hour, with wind chills of 10 to 20 degrees F below zero. and power outages.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul joined several other state governors in declaring a state of emergency, warning of a long list of possible disasters.
"Heavy rain and snow, strong winds, coastal and lake flooding, freezing temperatures, low wind chills and power outages are possible," one bulletin said.

Crops and Diseases
How to Fight the Diseases
TROPICSAFE comes to an end, join us at the final conference!
The final conference of TROPICSAFE will take place from 3 to 5 April. After 5 years of research on prokaryote-associated diseases transmitted by insects in tropical and subtropical perennial crops, TROPICSAFE closes its journey with a series of conferences, organised by crop, in which the three central diseases will be addressed: Grapevine Yellows (GY), huanglongbing (HLB) affecting citrus and coconut Lethal Yellowing (LY). The conference will take place in Bastia, France. The series of conferences will start at 14:00h CET every day and can be also followed online. Registration is compulsory.
The final event will cover all the areas of action on which TROPICSAFE has focused its research, managing to combat economically relevant bacterial diseases that affect coconut, citrus and grapevines by expanding knowledge about them. The discoveries that will be presented allow reducing insecticide treatments, making an early diagnosis with specific, reliable and economical detection methods, implementing classical biological control programmes, creating predictive models of pathogen and insect vector dispersal and, in short, developing new strategies for sustainable and ecological integrated pest management. Check the full agenda here.
Day 1: Grapevine Yellows
The event will begin by addressing grapevine yellows on Sunday 3 April. This disease is present in wine-growing regions all over the world, causing production losses of up to 60%. The session will be followed by a series of 12-minute presentations of the consortium members and a short discussion. The opening will be given by Assunta Bertaccini, coordinator of the project, who will give an overview of grapevine yellowing in the world.
As the focus of TROPICSAFE's research on this disease was located in Chile, South Africa and Spain, the successive presentations will present different results and conclusions reached in these regions. Check the agenda here and became an expert on Grapevine Yellows.
Day 2: Citrus "huanglongbing"
The conferences will continue with a second day, Monday 4th April, in which "huanglongbing" (HLB) will be the center of the discussions. HLB disease is transmitted by the psyllids Diaphorina citri and Trioza erytreae, and severely reduces yield and performance of citrus in Asia, America and Africa. TROPICSAFE focuses in understanding the pathogen strains associated with severe epidemics and provide the use of diagnostic tools, new information about alternative host plants and the possibility to verify the absence of HLB in citrus in Europe.
The day kicks off with the screening of the Final video of TROPICSAFE, which summarises the mission and the activity of the project. Afterwards, we will enjoy a 20 min presentation of Leonardo Pena, head of Pre HLB project, focused on preventing HLB epidemics for ensuring citrus survival in Europe. He is the invited speaker and will explain the spreading and impact of HLB worldwide. After that, Cecile Morillon will present a success story about dissemination to a young audience: the creation of a comic strip on HLB entitled "Huanglongbing the citrus disease". Find out the full agenda of the second day here, which will take us on a journey from Guadalupe to South Africa.
Day 3: Coconut palms Lethal Yellowing
This brings us to the third day of the event, Tuesday 5th April, when the results reached studying the coconut Lethal Yellowing (LY) will be discussed. LY is associated with the presence of different phytoplasmas worldwide, and it leads to the death of high percentages of coconut palms, especially in Central America, the Caribbean and Africa. As on the other days, a series of presentations with discussions will follow, focused on clarifying the identity and spread of phytoplasmas in coconut palms in the surveyed countries, and their molecular characterization, which allows the determination of disease cycles and epidemiology.
In this occasion, the overview of the disease will be given by Wayne Myrie, Plant Pathologist from the Research Department of the Coconut Industry Board. Then, a wide variety of presentations will be given by partners of TROPICSAFE such as Wayne Myrie himself, Agya Ndede Yankey (CSIR-OPRI) or Carlos Oropeza (CICY), among others. Them all will help to a better understanding of the phytoplasma and its vectors as well as the diagnosis of the disease. You can consult here the agenda of the last day.

Sergiu Celibidache – Feuerkopf und Philosoph ist ein Dokumentarfilm von Norbert Busè, der im Auftrag des ZDF und arte von Studio.TV.Film produziert wurde und am 27. Juni 2012 auf arte ausgestrahlt wurde.

Inhalt
Der rumänische Dirigent Sergiu Celibidache gilt als unangepasster Visionär. Er ging davon aus, dass ein Konzert als einzigartiges, sinnliches Ereignis nicht wiederholbar sei, weshalb er Studioaufnahmen der von ihm dirigierten Stücke nicht zuließ.
Im Alter von nur 33 Jahren wird Celibidache im Berlin der Nachkriegszeit zum Chef der Berliner Philharmoniker berufen. Durch seinen einzigartigen und emotionalen Stil wird der Neuling schnell international bekannt. Seine nahezu anarchische Einstellung gegenüber dem Musikbetrieb beschert ihm aber eine Niederlage. Nach dem Tod seines Vorgängers Wilhelm Furtwängler, dessen Vertretung er während der Zeit der Entnazifizierung übernahm, verliert er das Engagement bei den Philharmonikern an Herbert von Karajan.

Dieser Rückschlag in seiner Karriere bestärkt Celibidache jedoch nur noch mehr in seiner künstlerischen Kompromisslosigkeit. Im Laufe der 1950er und 60er Jahre erlangt er weltweit den Status eines begehrten Gastdirigenten, der bei einem Konzert in Venedig zu einer beinahe mystischen Erfahrung gelangt. Jenen Moment musikalischer Ganzheitlichkeit versucht er fortan in seiner Arbeit immer wiederherzustellen, was ihm eine wachsende Fangemeinde beschert, die seinen Konzerten beinahe wie bei einer religiösen Messe beinwohnt. Der vom Zen-Buddhismus und der Idee der Reinkarnation faszinierte Dirigent wird bald wie ein Guru verehrt. In seinem Refugium in Paris widmet er sich fortwährend seiner mystischen Suche.

In den 1980er Jahren bekommt er als Chefdirigent der Münchner Philharmoniker schlussendlich auch die Anerkennung zurück, die ihm Jahrzehnte lang verwehrt blieb. Trotzdem stößt Norbert Busè bei seiner Recherche auf einen sensationellen Fund: Ein von Celibidache selbst gefälschter Lebenslauf taucht in der Berliner Musikhochschule auf und vervollständigt das Bild eines widersprüchlichen Künstlers. Neben Celibidaches Schwester Irina-Paraschiva Celibidache kommt sein Sohn Serge zu Wort, dessen Film über seinen Vater in Ausschnitten als TV-Premiere gezeigt wird.

Gen Y Speaks: A Stanford graduate, I quit the civil service to help transform my mum's cleaning firm into a startup

When I was studying in the United States, I had tried internships with McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, startups and the Government. I thought my future career would be at one of these.

By Zhang Yitao Jason
I graduated with an economics and engineering degree from Stanford University in 2014.
When I was studying in the United States, I had tried internships with McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, startups and the Government. I thought my future career would be at one of these.
Today, I find myself running a small cleaning business and look forward to the challenge that each day brings.
"Wait, how did you end up there?"
That is normally the first question I get when I tell old friends and classmates what I am doing.
I suppose what happened was a tale of serendipity.
I grew up in a four-room Housing and Development Board flat with my parents and three sisters.
My mother was a housewife who occasionally took on odd jobs like home cleaning to supplement the family income.
By the time I returned from the US, she was loosely managing a few others like her and generating a small side income.
It was very traditional — she would go around the neighbourhood putting up fliers with tearable phone numbers on notice boards to find clients.
Coming back from Silicon Valley, I naturally said: "Oh come on, at least build a website."
Unsurprisingly, my mother was not impressed, maintaining that what she was doing was working fine.
She also gently reminded me: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice."
Eventually, after much persuasion, she acquiesced and we built a website and started running some basic Google ads to the site.
Those were the relatively early days of digitisation back in 2015, and we were both surprised by how well it worked. From there, the business started to take off.
After returning from the US, I took on a couple of different roles in the Singapore civil service, including a stint at the Government Technology Agency.
On and off, I continued to give my mother advice on an ad hoc basis on how she could further digitise her business to help it grow.
For example, when the business started growing to a size where a "one phone line and one operator" approach could no longer handle the incoming call volume, I guided her towards adopting Twilio as a call center platform, and integrating it with a customer relationship management software such as Hubspot for efficient ticket-based customer support operations.
By 2020, she had more than 300 staff.
Things seemed to be going swimmingly. Then Covid-19 hit, and most of her business was suspended overnight.
As Singapore emerged from the circuit breaker, our family realised that the cleaning landscape was shifting rapidly.
Going digital was no longer merely an option, but an imperative for survival. That was when I decided to join the business full time and lead our digital transformation efforts.
Leaving a secure job to join a small business during an uncertain time like this was a difficult decision.
Colleagues and supervisors told me that I was giving up a very promising and stable career and asked me to reconsider.
At the end of the day, I had to dig deep and think about what was most important to me in my career, and I realised that it was to tackle meaningful challenges and make a difference, wherever it may be.
And at that point, I felt that where I could rise to the challenge and make the most impact was to helm the business into uncharted post-Covid waters.
I recognised that I may fail.
But to adapt Tennyson: "Tis better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all".
A HIGH POINT
For us, one of the moments where we found the most meaning in what we were doing was actually right in the middle of the circuit breaker, when almost all our office and home cleaners were out of work.
They were still fully employed, but all their work assignments had been suspended by our clients.
The Government's Job Support Scheme was incredibly helpful during those tough months, but even with 75 per cent salary coverage, the balance of 25 per cent and up to 17 per cent Central Provident Fund contribution totalling up to about 40 per cent of wage costs was still borne by the employer.
In an industry such as cleaning with lean margins of 5 per cent to 10 per cent, that was still a heavy cost to bear.
I recall discussing potential retrenchments or salary reductions with my family, and my mother felt keenly for those who were suddenly out of a job, having been in their shoes in the not-so-distant past.
She knew that our staff often live pay cheque to pay cheque, and losing one, or having a significant reduction in pay, will impact their lives considerably.
So, with the support of some of our clients, we found a way to make it possible for us to pay our older Singaporean cleaners 100 per cent of their usual wages.
We booked significant losses, but I think that was worth it. It allowed us to build significant trust with our staff.
As a family, having come from a place where we were needing help to be giving help was one of the most fulfilling experiences from the business journey.

A LOW POINT
As with any rapidly growing business, it is critical to be able to hire and recruit talent to expand the team.
Unfortunately, that is often a tall order for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Just as I did not want to work at an SME when I graduated, neither did many other young and bright people my age. To make matters worse, the cleaning industry is not exactly a crowd favourite.
So, when we did recruit, we would get few suitable applicants, and more often than not, we would spend weeks courting a potential candidate, only to be told that they had taken up another offer with a multinational company or startup.
Some time in 2020, after being told again that a candidate was going to "join a startup instead", we thought, why not just give the people what they want?
We are a fast-growing company, and we are aggressively adopting technology.
With the support of government agency Enterprise Singapore, we are in the process of building our own operational backend and launching a client app for Android and iOS so clients can book, manage and pay for services with their mobile phones.
So aren't we technically a startup?
Last year, with the help of a branding grant, we rebranded ourselves from an "SME" to a "startup".
And apparently, the dirty little secret to being a startup is to have a one-word long name with as few syllables as possible.
I guess today, we are no longer Luce Maintenance Group Private Limited, an SME cleaning company. We are Luce SG, a cleaning startup.
MESSAGE FOR MILLENNIALS
I do realise that most young professionals around my age strongly prefer to work for startups instead of SMEs because that is the sexy new thing. I have felt that way myself as well.
But seeing how technology can transform even the most traditional of businesses, I realised that a startup or a SME is just a label.
At the end of the day, they are all just private limited companies.
Startups often start in an environment where they have little or no experience but bring technology to grow and scale tremendously.
SMEs are often in environments where they are very experienced, but do not see the possibilities that technology can bring.
In these cases, technology often trumps experience, and the startups win.
But what if the SMEs can digitise and apply technology just like the startups do?
At that point, they could arguably even be in a stronger position because then they would be starting from the foundation of a strong domain expertise, and then accelerating that with technology.
Can we turn "#SME2Startup"?
I think that is a fascinating question and is what motivated me to decide to take the helm of this decidedly traditional SME in an unexciting industry.
I am glad my younger sister aged 19 has also bought into the idea of digitisation.
She has taken a gap year during Covid-19 to learn coding and work with our in-house engineering team before she goes to university later this year.
SMEs are the backbone of our economy, and I think it is a shame that younger and technologically savvy professionals tend to shun them when in fact it is where I think we can make the most difference and have a challenge that is no less satisfying than joining a startup.
I hope that my journey can encourage other young professionals to join and transform our SME landscape.

Q: identically distributed random variables have the same pdf I have read several proofs that made use of "identically distributed random variables", yet I have no clear picture and examples of what it means for two random variables to be identically distributed.
Going through related questions, I found that two random variables are identically distributed if they have the same cdf even they may not be defined on same probability space.
I'm  having a feeling that identically distributed guarantees having the same pdf. Could someone help clarify me?
Thanks in advance.

The 2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw a number of younger players claim tournament victories, not to mention an influx of amateur players and online qualifiers following Chris Moneymaker's sensational victory at the 2003 WSOP Main Event.
The 2004 World Series of Poker was notable for three ladies winning open events at a single WSOP for the first time: following Cyndy Violette's victory in the $2 000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split event, Kathy Liebert won the $1 500 Limit Hold'em Shootout event and Annie Duke won the $2 000 Omaha Hi-Lo Split event.
2004 WSOP Player of the Year
The 2004 World Series of Poker saw the WSOP Player of the Year award introduced for the first time.
Well-respected poker professional Daniel Negreanu won the inaugural award, after winning the $2 000 No-Limit Hold'em bracelet and claiming a number of other high finishes in the 2004 World Series.
Negreanu was not far ahead of Ted Forrest, who picked up 2 bracelets at the 2004 World Series, in $1 500 Buy-in Seven Card Stud and No-Limit Hold'em events.
2004 WSOP Main Event
Amateur poker player Greg Raymer won the 2004 World Series of Poker $10 000 No-Limit Texas Hold'em Main Event.
Patent attorney Raymer, known as Fossilman on the circuit, beat out nearly 2 600 players – almost triple the number of entrants to the 2003 Main Event – to claim a first prize of $5 million, while runner-up David Williams earned $3.5 million.
Famous high-placed finishers at the 2004 WSOP Main Event included Marcel Lüske, who earned $373 000 and just missed out on a final table appearance in 10th place, and Chris Ferguson, who won $120 000 for 26th place.


There are a number of modules that can be used instead of commands. Obvious candidates include most package installation modules (yum, rpm, pip, etc.), most version control modules (git, hg, etc.), OS control modules such as service.
There are also commands that can be run when an argument to the file module would be better - e.g file state=absent rather than rm, file state=link rather than ln.
I also managed to introduce a command_warnings check into Ansible that will warn you at runtime.
The shell module is potentially more dangerous than the command module (ok, nothing is really stopping you doing command: rm -rf --no-preserve-root) and should only be used when you actually need shell functionality. So if you're not stringing two commands together (using pipes or even just && or ;), you don't really need the shell module. Similarly, expanding shell variables or file globs require the shell module. If you're not using these features, don't use the shell module. If you are using these features, think twice if you can rewrite the shell command to make it more Ansibley.
When you run command or shell, they always set changed to True. This is because Ansible has no mechanism for understanding whether your command changed anything or not. Some commands are genuinely read only (e.g. git status) and others have side effects.
Generally, one expects with Ansible that when a playbook is run twice, no changes should happen on the second run. There are (at least) four ways to achieve this (ansible-lint only checks these four, so if there's another mechanism, let me know).
If a command creates a file after it is first run, or removes a file after it is first run, you can use the creates or removes argument with command or shell. Then it won't run a second time.
Often a command behaves from the outside world no differently if it puts something into a state or it's already in that state. In such cases, it might always return a 0 exit status, and print no output.
In these cases, you might need a read-only pre-check command that determines whether the system is already in the desired state, and then not do the changing task if it is.

Step Gold Door Profile cover two adjoining floors with a height difference of 4mm to 14mm. They come with T piece plugs that slide into the back of the door bar. You drill 4 to 6 6mm holes for the plugs to fit in depending on the size of your door. These plugs need to slide along the back of the profile to line them up with the holes and then you gently tap each one in a little bit at a time working along the profile and repeat until they are all correctly in.

FDA Approves Smart Watch Application To Help Those With PTSD
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, HOST:
Now a story about how a son's invention helped rescue his dad.
PATRICK SKLUZACEK: I am Patrick Skluzacek. I am a master auto technician at a - you know, a small shop. I am a veteran with 22 years in the Army and in the Army Reserve. And I was one tour in Iraq.
ELLIOTT: Today, Patrick Skluzacek lives in Blaine, Minn., Back in 2007, he was serving in the Army as a convoy commander in Fallujah. He saw a lot of things during the war that he couldn't shake.
P SKLUZACEK: The biggest thing, I think, after I got back is even driving down Minnesota roads. You have this, what if? What if that's a bomb? What if that's a bomb? Cheese and crepes (ph), I'm driving by all this trash on the side of the road. And what - could that blow up? Could that blow up? Could that blow up? You're so paranoid from doing this for a whole year. You just can't quit being in the Army.
ELLIOTT: Tyler Skluzacek remembers when his dad's nightmares began.
TYLER SKLUZACEK: My dad is suddenly not sleeping well, very irritable. He was a very irritable man, not like he was before he left. And so it was definitely hard. It was my - all of my high school years and most of my college years, he was kind of in a rough spot like that.
ELLIOTT: But the biggest toll was on Patrick's life.
P SKLUZACEK: Destroyed it pretty much - I lost my wife.
ELLIOTT: In a divorce.
P SKLUZACEK: I didn't get to see my family. The only way I could sleep was to - vodka and pills - pretty much lost everything, you know, my house, everything, my job. Everything went.
ELLIOTT: His father's downfall was painful for Tyler. During his senior year in college, he heard about a computer hackathon, a marathon event where developers come together to work on a project. This one was devoted to finding ways to help people with PTSD.
T SKLUZACEK: So I took my meager senior-year salary and went to the competition, where I met some brilliant psychiatrists and doctors, mostly out of various VAs around the country, and built a small team. And we developed this application. It's a smartwatch application that monitors PTSD symptoms while someone sleeps but also provides, like, gentle interruptions in order to try to pull them out of the sleep with haptic feedback or vibrations to the wrist.
ELLIOTT: Tyler was using technology to imitate something service animals were already doing, recognizing a traumatic nightmare and then nudging or licking the person to disrupt the bad dream. The smartwatch does this with a gentle vibration. But there was some trial and error to get just the right calibration. And for that, Tyler used his dad as a guinea pig.
T SKLUZACEK: He had to endure a lot of bad versions of the application, as you can imagine, right? No application is perfect on the first try. It was iteration, iteration, iteration. I think he says, like, iteration - what do you say - iterations five or seven or nine or something, it finally stopped spooking you awake or was providing just enough stimulus to pull you out of the traumatic situation.
P SKLUZACEK: I still remember, though, when I - you had me wear it full-time, and I had my air hammer at work. And you thought I was having a heart attack because I was - had the watch on. And you thought my heart rate was 6,000 beats per minute.
T SKLUZACEK: Yeah. I was terrified. Watching someone's data 24/7, I feel like, is a lot like having a baby. I don't have a baby, but, like, you're suddenly very concerned at all hours.
ELLIOTT: But, eventually, father and son working together hit upon the right formula.
T SKLUZACEK: It was honestly pretty incredible to have done something for my dad that, you know, positively influenced his life and using technology. So I'm a big tech guy. And being able to make someone's life better and use technology was just a win-win.
ELLIOTT: After years of suffering, Patrick Skluzacek finally found relief. He was able to get his life back. He has remarried. And he's working again. He still has the occasional bad dream, but they don't rule his life.
P SKLUZACEK: It was night and day when I put that watch on, and it started working. There are some bad nights out there regardless with the watch or not. That's hard even for a little watch to break up a nightmare. You know, but mostly rarely, rarely woke up at night, rarely.
ELLIOTT: More people will soon be able to benefit from Tyler Skluzacek's invention. An investor purchased the rights to the app and started a company called NightWare. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration approved the device to treat PTSD-related nightmare disorder. It will soon be available through the Veterans Administration.

Edible Christmas crackers? Things don't get much better! Wow your friends and family with these tasty delights.
Heat a frying pan on a high heat and add the olive oil. When really hot, fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set to one side.
Add the leeks to the pan and cook for 1 minute until soft, then add the garlic. Cook for a further 30 seconds, then deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Simmer until reduced to 1 tbsp then pour in the cream and add the chicken back to the pan. Stir in the tarragon and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and leave to cool.
Brush one sheet of filo with a little butter then place another sheet on top. Place some of the cooled mixture along the short edge of the pastry leaving a 5 cm gap at either end. Roll the filling up in the pastry then press the ends together so that it looks like a cracker. Brush with a little more butter then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Repeat with the remaining mixture and filo, then place all 4 crackers on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Carefully remove the crackers from the oven and serve immediately.


Early on Monday morning, at about 1am, two trucks carrying roughly 10 cubic metres of illegally felled timber were bouncing down the road between Oddar Meanchey and Siem Reap.
Police stopped the trucks – one of which bore military plates – and seized the haul, but the drivers, a Siem Reap police official said, "escaped into the dark".
A little over six months after Prime Minister Hun Sen issued a circular ordering authorities to step up their efforts to stamp out illegal logging, luxury timber seizures are a regular fixture of media reports, but incidents such as the one above have come to typify the crackdown on illegal logging.
There have been at least a dozen timber seizures covered by the Post since the premier's announcement on February 21. In one, a suspect died in a car chase with Forestry Administration (FA) officers. In another, police promised to summons a suspect for questioning, though no arrests were made.
But out of those dozen seizures, only one resulted in actual arrests – a situation that observers and rights groups say typifies the enforcement of the Kingdom's anti-logging laws and betrays a lack of will, or possibly scruples, on the part of enforcers.
Chhay Thy, a coordinator for the rights group Adhoc who has dealt extensively with illegal logging in Ratanakkiri province, said the line between officers and offenders in the illegal timber trade was blurry at best.
"They are the same group, so police alert the offenders before raiding. Some arrests are just an excuse to make a report," he said, noting that officers rarely perform due diligence when it comes to tracking suspects.
"Cars have a licence plate number, which is a clue for police to go look for the owners to bring them to justice, but they don't," he said.
Thon Sarath, an official with the Ministry of Agriculture, declined to comment on logging arrests and referred questions to provincial authorities. Battambang provincial FA chief Pit Phearak, however, maintained yesterday that timber smugglers simply have too much at stake to go along quietly.
Looking at some seizure reports, however, the line that suspects simply "escaped into the dark" beggars belief.
In one instance in May, police stopped a truck carrying 10 tonnes of rosewood. Rather than arrest the driver, officers boarded the bed of the truck, and instructed him to drive himself to the police station. En route, the man opened his door and leapt from the moving vehicle, leaving the truck to career off the road with the police still on board.
In another bust earlier this month that was emblematic of others across the country, police uncovered five cubic metres of rosewood on a plantation in Pursat province. Authorities, however, didn't arrest the plantation owner, with acting Kravanh district police chief Vorng Vet explaining at the time that, even though police believed the man was lying, they didn't arrest him because "he did not confess".
Chea Hean, director of the National Resource and Wildlife Preservation Organization, was jailed in 2010 on accusations levelled against him by a local official who was among 241 civil servants accused of abetting the illegal logging industry in a complaint he filed to the ACU. Yesterday, Hean attributed the lack of arrests to both apathy and a tendency among officers to skim timber off of the top of seizures.
Villagers in Ratanakkiri filed a complaint to Adhoc just last week accusing a local official of complicity in illegal logging. According to the complaint, volunteer forest patrollers had seized 30 logs that were illegally felled in a community forest, only to have a local commune police officer order them – at gunpoint – to return the confiscated timber to the loggers.
Allegations of corruption among logging enforcers extends far beyond the local level. One observer, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject, posited that Hun Sen never intended the crackdown to generate arrests, but rather to let illegal loggers continue their operations while "letting them know it's not a free-for-all".

Child recovery order issued by the court to find missing teen
Published By Alan Weiss - Aussie Divorce | 16th January, 2014
federal circuit court issued a child recovery order to help in the search for the missing teen
The ongoing search for the missing teen who is involved in a family dispute case had received the preferential attention of the Federal Circuit Court when it issued a Child Recovery Order. The said order will help the family of the 15 year old boy, more particularly his mother, in locating him.
In the family dispute lodged before the court, an order was issued stating that the said teen will reside with his mother.
The Court has issued a statement that the said teen was missing since the first week of December, and they are inclined to believe that he is residing with his father in the western suburbs of Melbourne. However, they are more likely to be travelling to Sydney since the local authorities are already searching their location in Melbourne.
It was also reported that no court order was issued to allow the teen to reside with his father. The police in the territory and state have been mandated to return him to his mother as soon as he is found.
Recovery Order is an order issued by the Court, which obligates and mandates the finder to return him to his parents or any person who has parental responsibility for him. Under section 67Q of the Family Law Act 1975, Recovery Order is issued by the Court, which requires any person who finds the child subject of the order to return him either to his parent, person who has a parenting order, or person who has parental responsibility.
It also authorizes and directs a person, which can be the local authority or the police officers, to make the necessary and proper actions in finding the child, recovering and delivering him to the persons identified in section 67Q.
The said order may include the instructions with regards to the daily care and rearing of the child until he is returned. Recovery order may also include a prohibition against any person from taking the child. In this case, the person who takes the child may be arrested even without a warrant.
Persons who may apply for a child recovery order can be any of the following:
Person who lives with the child and spends time with him pursuant to a parenting order;
Person who has parental responsibility over the child;
Grandparent of the child;
Person who is concerned with the rearing, care, welfare and development of the child.
Application for the said order must be filed in the Federal Circuit Court. In the case when a parenting order has already been issued by the Family Court, the application must be filed with the same court.

Q: Xcode Swift: Login/Signup Page Flow Preventing Sliding SideBar Functionality I'm in the process of creating an app using xcode/swift that implements both a sliding sidebar menu along with a login/signup process. The sliding sidebar menu functionality is accessible on the next page immediately after completing either the login or signup.
Sliding Sidebar tutorial I followed is here: Ray Wenderlich - Sidebar Tutorial
Problem is -> My Sidebar menu functionality only works when the containing view is the first view displayed upon opening the app. Sometimes this is OK because once a user is logged-in, the sidebar menu view is the first view displayed -- but this is not always the case -- Logged-out users must complete signup/login before they are able to access/transition to this view, thereby preventing the sidebar menu functionality from executing.
My guess is this has something to do with setting the rootviewcontroller in my AppDelegate.swift file VS setting the initial view of the app in my storyboard. It could also have something to do with setting the rootviewcontroller to centerviewcontroller in my ContainerViewController.swift file.
AppDelegate.swift
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

var window: UIWindow?

Just want to say again how much John and I enjoyed hearing you speak last night. Your books have always fascinated, but to finally hear you in person telling your stories was amazing. Have been unable to put down the newly purchased book today…a luxury I finally truly appreciate after hearing about what you must accomplish in a day.
Keep writing – and look after your knees!
Thank you Chris, your book arrived autographed and with a Happy Birthday as well on Oct.3 exactly one month before my birthday. I've perused it, read bits and am now into it. Here I am a real 'people person' but I love your books and the fact that you are such a loner. I've always enjoyed these type of books and have read others from around BC. as well. I guess opposites attract.
Hope you are enjoying your tour and selling lots.
Could you send me the total cost including postage and I will send a cheque.
If you have a better way for me to purchase the book just let me know.
All the best on your tour. I have sent notes to a couple of people in Kamloops.
Lonesome Memoirs of a Wilderness Dog was the first book I read. After that I was hooked and have bought and read a number of your books. My family doesn't always appreciate it when I read one of your books from cover to cover. What can I say some books are hard to put down. Your lifestyle is a dream for many of us, it's wonderful to read about your courage in turning your dreams into reality.
I just finished reading your book: Wildfire in the wilderness and I could not put it down.
From 1996 to 2002 I have lived a similar lifestyle but not nearly as difficult as yours since we were much closer to the road and I wasn't alone. For health reasons we had to move to a place with easier access to a road.
I am so delighted that you have included 100 Mile House in your Book Tour and I was wondering if you will bring books with you for the public to buy?
I cannot wait until October, so I am going to buy Lonesome, Memoirs of a wilderness dog now.
Wildfire in the wilderness, you mention that you have a written a book on wildflowers.
what is the title and can I purchase it?
Thank you so much for your delightful stories!
So happy to hear you are doing a fall book tour, but sorry you are not coming to the Island.
Where can I get your new book?
I have your books out on loan all the time, you have many fans!
My brother in law is fascinated with your live story and is planning a trip.
Missed meeting you when we were at Tatla Lake in June. Are you interested in fitting in an afternoon with Mill Bay/ Duncan writers and/or readers before your Nanaimo slide show? I could pass on any info to possible organizers at Arbutus Ridge or local libraries.
I heard you are working on a flower book. I love your photos of the wildflowers in your area. We met Jeanie Fell and were delighted to spot both death camus and spotted coralroot (one of each!) while looking at her garden. She had only good things to say about you, as did Lori King.
New blog looks and certainly does load more easily, (especially for those of us on slow funky internet systems). But I DO miss seeing your beautiful dog's face watching over the site!
Wishing you a great summer, with good food growing.
The Prince George date has dropped off your itinerary, does that mean William's Lake is the furthest north you will be travelling?

It is impossible to pinpoint the establishment of the first "Public Library" in America, but several locations make the case for their library being the first.
Boston had a library as early as 1711, and New York City and Philadelphia both claim a public library in the same time period.
Benjamin Franklin was instrumental in establishing a library in Philadelphia, insisting that any city and its citizens had to have access to a library collection as part of a democratic government.
Many of these early libraries began as "subscription libraries" where citizens would contribute some funds to collectively acquire books that could be shared among the subscribers.
Steubenville documented a "subscription library" in 1815 that collected books in the back of a Drug Store that people could borrow them every third Saturday.
By the beginning of the 19th Century, public libraries were being funded by governments as a public service, and local private libraries were being opened to the public.
In Ohio, the Dayton Library was funded by the city as early as 1805.
Peterborough, NH claims the first public library to be completely funded by the village in 1833.
By the mid-1800s, Ohio had several public libraries operating across the state, with various state codes allowing the participation of government agencies as funding sources for these libraries.
People had specific information needs, and a shelf of books no longer met their need. Public libraries began to form collections to meet the needs of the public using those libraries.
In 1906, the State Library of Ohio established their Library Development Office to assist libraries forming around the state.
That office also began the first "library sharing program" to provide books to meet the specific requests of the public at the various state public libraries.
That program was refined in the 1920s as "Interlibrary Loan" where the State Library gathered requests and sent books to specific libraries to meet the requests.
By the 1960s computers began assisting the process and a statewide Union Catalog had developed showing the holdings of many Ohio public libraries.
Our library system began using fax technology to send around lists of book requests in 1976. The State Library of Ohio continued as the coordinator of the system filling book requests all across the state.
Library automation streamlined the process as even the smallest library collection appeared online and all of Ohio's public libraries became one large resource for Ohio's citizens.
Today, the public can place their own requests online and have the book sent directly to their own public library location in 5-day per week statewide delivery.
Collections are further supplemented with online databases and eBooks, as well as digitized resources that are shared across the state.
These online systems also help allocate resources and books to libraries with a demand for this book or that, rather than letting books sit unused on one shelf or another.
In our own library system, a quarter of a million library items come and goes during the year due to specific public requests.
This has all happened in one generation of library services. I can well remember the clerical shuffle of paper and cards as we managed those early days of library books.
Using a typewriter to pound out a 4-part form of Interlibrary Loan, and mailing it to Columbus and a package arriving in the mail with the requested book some weeks later.
Today, laundry carts full of books, DVDs, CDs, arriving daily with shipping labels to fill the request of someone using the library.
We are quickly moving to scanning and sending directly to the user, or pulling information from a database and forwarding, and using your smart phone to access the library.

Home Arts & Entertainment J.A.P. comedy show entertains while defying a few stereotypes
J.A.P. comedy show entertains while defying a few stereotypes
OK, so four Jewish women walk up to a stage, kvetching about family, obesity and gentiles. Meanwhile, on a big screen, old footage rolls featuring five women either discussing their husbands, rapping off joke-jokes or yelling boisterously into a telephone. It all comes together with a piano man providing Broadway-style music. So what do you get? A touching and hilarious evening with the Jewish princesses of comedy.
There was hardly a quiet moment at the Parker Playhouse as the theatrical standup show J.A.P.: The Princesses of Comedy unfolded at an easy pace that was never overwhelming considering the amount of comedy being delivered.
The show, which was the brainchild of comic Cory Kahaney, featured three of the top up-and-coming female comics performing their shticks and paying homage to their roots. One of the best things was that the audience literally laughed through the evolution of Jewish women's comedic styles.
The Parker Playhouse's elegant ambiance provided an air of nostalgia as the modern comedians-Kahaney, Jackie Hoffman, Jessica Kirson and Cathy Ladman-introduced the five funny ladies of the past-via old archival footage-who left an indelible mark on comedy as the first women to do standup.
There was Betty Walker, who would wail into a telephone to her imaginary comedy partner Ceil; Jean Carroll, a stylish lady who's deceptively simple husband jokes made her one of the first female comics on the Ed Sullivan show; Totie Fields, a heavyset loudmouth who won Entertainer of the Year in 1978, and Belle Barth and Pearl Williams, who were uncannily raw and raunchy.
"We have an enormous respect for the old style of telling a joke," Kahaney said in a phone interview. "We tell jokes and talk about our lives, but you'll [also] see the young new-style comedians trying to capture the old style."
That genius juxtaposition kept the comedy fresh and on its toes over the whole night, constantly switching from gentle and made-for-chuckles to wild and bawdy humor. The modern comics in particular were surprisingly candid ("Why don't JAPs like blowjobs?" asked Kirson. "Because they don't like any kind of job," Kahaney responded).
As the night continued the show became progressively funnier and more Jewish, which tickled the laughing bellies of the large audience, mostly composed of older folks.
"Are there any Jews in the audience?" asked Ladman, nodding knowingly to the laughter that followed. "Great marketing."
Highlights in the show included Kirson, who was host to last year's Homecoming King and Queen event, writing a letter to her big derriere ("Dear ass, you startled me!"), Hoffman's duet with the piano man about the most important Jewish holiday, and Kahaney's observations about dating gentiles, who never say how much a meal costs ("If I don't know how much the meal costs, I don't know how much to put out. At least with Jews you know where you stand.").
Ultimately, Kahaney's brilliant show proved exactly how funny female comedians have been over decades, defying stereotypes that chauvinism in comedy tends to brand them. Everyone in the audience was laughing, both young and elderly. The laughter knew no age and was loud and grateful until the curtain closed.
