For Simon, a public relations manager at a major aerospace company, lying is a way of life, almost a raison d'être. His family isn't fooled by his lies and have learned, somehow, to shut their eyes to his nonsense. But when Russian industrialists come to negotiate a contract that could save the struggling aircraft company where his brother also works, Simon's behavior becomes an important issue. Fearing that one lie too many will make everything fall apart, his relatives serve him an ultimatum. The same evening, a strange cosmic event propels Simon into a parallel universe, where all his fabrications seem to have come true.

Book Reading/Discussion: Hunting the Northern Character, by Tony Penikett

The Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies; Quaternary Research Center's 50th Anniversary Lecture Series; Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities; and the Consulate General of Canada in Seattle present: Book Reading/Discussion: Hunting the Northern Character, by Tony Penikett.
We often hear world leaders, environmentalists, and the media invoke "the northern character" and "Arctic identity," but what do these terms mean, exactly? Stereotypes abound, but these southern perspectives fail to capture northern realities. During decades of service as a legislator, mediator, and negotiator, Tony Penikett witnessed a new northern consciousness grow out of the challenges of the Cold War, climate change, land rights struggles, and the boom and bust of resource megaprojects. In Hunting the Northern Character, Penikett argues that the negotiation of Indigenous land rights treaties and self-government agreements in Alaska, Northern Canada and Greenland over the last fifty years have totally transformed the character of the Arctic, in ways the capital cities of Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the United States do not yet recognize.

5 POSITIVE Takeaways: Orioles Go 1-6 Vs. Mariners, Angels
Martin Wilt
Image Credit: Keith Allison
Each Monday, in this spot, I'll try to give you fan's look at what transpired with our Birds the past week and what lies ahead for the club. My only promise is that the piece will be totally biased and from a real fan, so here it goes.
After many weeks of bad baseball, this week I'm going to ignore the 24 – 59 record and focus on the positives. It's going to be hard, but let's take the week off from negativity.
1. How 'bout those promotions?
This week we had some of the best SGA's (Stadium Giveaways, for you none collectors) in recent memory. The week kicked off with "Halfway to Christmas" and the Buck "Snow"alter snow globe and the ever popular "Orioles Hawaiian Shirt" day this past Saturday. Halfway to Christmas attracted a Monday night crowd of over 21,000 – not too shabby for a club with the worst record in baseball – and saw fans snapping pictures on Santa Bird's sleigh and an snowstorm in the Legend's bullpen area. For me, it might have been one of the most imaginative themes ever for any Orioles giveaway. Kudos to Greg Bader – the Orioles VP for Marketing and Communications! Then on a sweltering hot Saturday afternoon – 93 degrees at first pitch – the Orioles drew over 38,000 for Hawaiian Shirt day. Again, one of the best giveaways the club has done in recent memory.
2. How HOT is Mark Trumbo?!
In Sunday's win over the Angels, Mark Trumbo connected on his ninth and 10th homers of the season. The homeruns also marked Trumbo's sixth and seventh homers in his last 14 games. On Sunday Trumbo also had his eighth multi-RBI game and 12th multi hit game of the season.
3. Beckham is also SMOKIN'!
Tim Beckham kept his hitting streak alive at five games this week with a fourth inning 2 RBI singe on Sunday. During the five game streak Beckham is hitting .368 (7-for-19) stretch. Beckham is also batting .313 (5-for-16) hitting leadoff in four games.
4. Gausman cools off Trout and the Angels on a 94 degree Day
Kevin Gausman spread six hits over eight full innings to earn the only win of the week on a sweltering 94 degree day at Oriole Park. Gausman earned his fourth win striking out 2 and walking none, not issuing a base on balls for the first time this season. Gausman threw 104 pitches and was rumored to have dropped ten pounds during the heat of the Baltimore summer Sunday. Mike Trout was held hit-less in four at-bats – the 12th time Trout did not reach base this season.
5. Down on the Farm
While the Orioles have had nine players make their MLB debut this year, including pitchers Ryan Meisinger and Paul Fry this weekend, position players like Cedric Mullins loom at Norfolk and beyond. The switch hitting Mullins is hitting .317 with one homer, six RBI, and 12 runs in his last 10 games. He's rated as the O's #5 prospect according to MLB.com.
This week the Birds hit the road for two at Philly followed by four at Minnesota.
baltimore oriolesBuck Showalterkevin gausmanMark Trumbo
Marty Wilt is in his rookie season with the Baltimore Sports Report and the self-proclaimed "Billy Ripken" of the BSR, trying desperately to live up to the family name of the more acclaimed family member on this blog. A lifelong Orioles fan, he'll bring the "old guy's" perspective on things and try desperately to keep kids off his lawn. To provide further perspective on his old guy status, his fondest memory as an Orioles fan was the entire 1989 "Why Not?" season when an underestimated, overachieving ball club took the Toronto Blue Jays down to the final game of the season eventually relenting the AL East title to their foes up north.

In a rare step, three former governors who opposed a controversial pipeline in the Pinelands are now trying to block the project by joining litigation against the agency that approved it.
The governors -- Brendan Byrne, Jim Florio and Christine Todd Whitman -- have filed an amicus brief in support of environmental groups that have challenged the state Board of Public Utilities approval of the 22-mile natural-gas pipeline through parts of the 1 million-acre preserve.
It is still unclear whether the appellate court hearing the case will allow the governors to intervene, but the state -- the defendant -- is taking no stand on their filing. As former officials, the governors argued that each played a key role in trying to protect the Pinelands and "the forces that threaten the success of the Pinelands program.'' Byne signed the law establishing the Pinelands; Florio, then a congressman, wrote the bill that created the Pinelands National Reserve.
The project is one of the most controversial of more than a dozen gas pipelines either approved or pending in the state. South Jersey Gas would build the pipeline to enable the old B.L. England coal plant in Beesley's Point to be converted to natural gas.
Backed by labor and business groups, the project reflects policies adopted by the Christie administration, which has aggressively supported expanding the infrastructure of gas pipelines, a strategy its says has reaped economic benefits to consumers and reduced air pollution.
In their 36-page brief, the governors acknowledged the importance of a secure and reliable source of energy for the state's residents. They concluded, however, if the current decision by the BPU is allowed to stand, ''the result will compromise the integrity of the Pinelands program and contravene the balance of interests established by the federal and state'' laws.
Allowing the pipeline to proceed would "fundamentally alter the clear goals of the Pinelands law, which balance key preservation interests of Pinelands residents,'' according to the governors.
Greg Reinert, a spokesman for BPU, declined comment, citing the pending litigation.
The South Jersey pipeline won approval from BPU in December -- the second time the agency endorsed the proposal. That action was necessary when the Pinelands Commission balked at approving the proposal in 2012.
The project was revived after the commission's executive director, Nancy Wittenberg, ruled the proposal complied with the agency's Comprehensive Management Plan.
That certification is the core of a lawsuit filed by the New Jersey Sierra Club and Environment New Jersey, saying the commission itself never determined whether the project is consistent with the CMP.
The governors also contended that the proposed pipeline route is inconsistent with the Pinelands program's established balance between preservation and targeted growth.


Pazyryk Wool Rug: 12'2" x 8'11"
Size in feet12'2" x 8'11"
This fine pure wool Pazyryk carpet has six border bands depicting people and animals, including mythological ones. The first inner band and the 5th outer band depict rosaces. The second inner band depicts grazing fallow deer. The third and forth bands are the most interesting as they show horsemen on saddles. Its sophisticated design (dating back to at least 400 BC) makes it a great conversation piece and proves that carpet manufacturers since ancient times had great technical skills and an artistic vision.
This carpet's design is inspired from the carpet that is claimed by historians to be the oldest rug in the world: the Pazyrik rug. The carpet was found and excavated in 1949 by russian archeologist: Sergei Rudenko. He found it preserved in ice in the Pazyrik Valley of Siberia while excavating the tomb of a Scythian prince. The burial mound was over 2500 years old and a ground breaking discovery in the history of carpet weaving.
The carpet features lots of interesting details such as men riding horses along its widest border. The central field is occupied by 24 cross-shaped figures, each of which consists of four stylized lotus buds. This composition is framed by a border of griffins, followed by a border of twenty-four fallow deer.
According to various textile experts the carpet is of armenian orgin while others dispute it to be of Persian origin. Its exact origin is unknown but what is known is that such a piece is a testimony to the fact that the fine art of carpet weaving had been going on for many centuries prior to having reached the level of expertise the Pazyryk carpet displays.
The Pazyryk rug is now housed at the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum. This carpet has been replicated by our team of designers and is currently available for sale in our Montreal showroom.

Strategies to realize decentralized manufacture through hybrid manufacturing platforms
Blake A. Kendrick, Vimal Dhokia, Stephen T. Newman
Advanced Design & Manufacturing @ Bath (ADM)
Centralized factory dominance has led to optimization and set-up for manufacture of a sole product or product-range. In-house efficacy of such systems has been greatly improved due to lean six-sigma methodologies; however, wider scale distribution and supply has undergone little to no transformation over the past century. Research pertaining to distributed manufacture, cloud-manufacture and reconfigurable systems have provided several decentralized models using traditional manufacturing capabilities. Due to practical limitations they have not been fully realized to date. This paper outlines the emerging concept and scope for hybrid manufacturing platforms - systems using a plurality of processes on a single motion platform, to manufacture products in a decentralized network. Necessity of on-machine inspection is highlighted, outlining the potential of generic artifact machine calibration and verification of parts made. A robust experimental method using a novel hybrid manufacturing approach is used to realize the post-process adaptation of subsequent parts and demonstrates significant improvement with adapted features being cut within 15. μm of nominal position, compared to the original 300. μm error. Social, economic and environmental ramifications of adopting such a system are highlighted. The combination of several key processes will allow users to manufacture parts with minimal intervention. A move to personal fabrication would allow greater customization and convenience for the end user; however, the issues of copyright and loss of economy of scale would inhibit mass uptake in the near-future. Growing interest by enthusiasts and early adopters will continue to make an impact on the way the populace views manufacture.

Rosen, Rebecca. "59% of Young People Say the Internet Is Shaping Who They Are. "The Atlantic, June 27, 2012.
From the article: "In the new survey, commissioned by The Atlantic and The Aspen Institute and conducted by Penn Schoen Berland and Associates, we can see some hints of what this early generation of Internet users looks like, vis-a-vis that very technology that they've grown up on, and also with regard to questions of values that cut to the core of what America will look like in the years ahead.Most younger people say that the Internet is shaping who they are. On a question that asked people to rank different sources of influence on their sense of right and wrong, 59 percent of people ages 18 to 29 said that social media or the Internet had a "great deal" or a "fair amount" of influence. Fascinatingly, 38 percent of Americans older than 65 said the same.
…If you dig into the numbers a bit further the picture gets a little more complicated. Both groups say in equal number (47 percent) that they do not expect privacy. The difference comes from a large group of older Americans (14 percent) who say they don't know. So the two groups are equally distrusting, and older Americans just have less well-formed opinions, which makes sense given that they use these sites much less.

Food Reviews Italian Food
Feel the Warmth of Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen
THERE'S NOTHING MORE COMFORTING THAN OUR CHILDHOOD FAVORITES. At Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen, a casual Italian restaurant that traces its roots in BF Homes, we are reminded that the best meals we can have are familiar and homemade.
Their first branch is located at the owner's ancestral home, which was transformed to become an Italian restaurant. The owners were supposed to move their French cafe to that location, but they decided to go with Italian instead. Their menu still offers a bit of French favorites, though, such as French Onion Soup and Escargot. I heard they also serve a noteworthy Poutine.
While Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen has expanded to the north (thank god, because I'm a northerner through and through), the restaurant maintained its simple, homey charm. The restaurant was also hailed as one of the Best Restaurants of 2014 by Philippine Tatler.
Every meal starts with a few slices of bread plus marinara and pesto, two signature Italian dips. It sets a good tone for the meal and prepares your taste buds for what's to come.
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen – Truffle Mac and Cheese – P285
This dish was actually the reason for my visit, because I've been searching for Mac and Cheese that can replace my favorite one from 2nd's (RIP). From the moment this large (yes, large!) platter of Mac and Cheese arrived at our table, we felt the strong, familiar aroma of truffle oil wafting through the air. Being a sucker for truffle oil and cheese, I ate this by myself, though I'd recommend sharing this with someone else.
Elbow macaroni is a standard for Mac and Cheese
The ratio of truffle oil to pasta to sauce was superb. Unlike other restaurants where you'd hardly feel the presence of truffle oil, I had no complaints with this one. Perhaps the only thing I can say about it is that I wish they had used a more complex blend of cheeses (it appears they used standard white cheddar and mozzarella for this one). Nevertheless, this is something I'd be happy to have over and over again.
The best part about this? The price. Yes, it's only P285, that's not a typo. You get so much pasta, cheese, and truffle oil for such a reasonable price.
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen – Spaghetti Seafood Olio (P315)
This Spaghetti Seafood Olio came highly recommended by the server. This was actually my dining companion's order, and I'm happy to say she was quite pleased with it. The pasta was cooked al dente and the seafood was fresh. The familiar blend of olive oil and garlic also brought together the entire dish.
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen – Mama Lou's Special (P350)
Last on the table was the Mama Lou's Special pizza. Their pizza is nicely thin and crispy, though the flavors for this one didn't blend quite right for me. This pizza is topped with tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, mango, arugula, and balsamic vinegar.
Each slice came with one thin sliver of mango, which unfortunately drowned out the other flavors. It could have worked well on its own without the tropical fruit trying to blend in with all the other Italian ingredients. Next time, let's stick to the simple and standard Margherita.
Overall, my companion and I were quite pleased with our visit. I can't wait to try their Lasagna, Spinach Ravioli, and Creamy Salmon Linguini. If a restaurant makes you want to come back from the moment you step out, then it must have been a good one. Prices for this restaurant are extremely reasonable, too, which adds to its appeal. After all, Italian food is very simple–there's no need to lose an arm and leg to eat pizza and pasta.
Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen is located at B1 L36 , Tropical Ave. cor Palace St. B.F International Village, 1721 Las Piñas, Rizal, Philippines. Other locations include UP Town Center, Katipunan and Nuvali.

Steele seeking German efficiency
Date:21st March 2011 at 9:20pm
With Edwin van der Sar adamant that he will hang up his gloves at the end of the season, Manchester United will undoubtedly search high and low to find a man to fill the void Edwin's absence will create.
There have been tons of theories as to who will be the man to replace him, goalkeeping coach Eric Steele has apparently been learning Spanish in anticipation for David De Gea's arrival, Edwin himself has touted Ajax's Maarten Stekelenburg and various goalkeepers has expressed their admiration for the club in an attempt to through their name into the reckoning.
There will have been tons of scouting missions all across Europe and the latest saw Steele attend Schalke's game with Leverkusen to again cast an eye on German internationals Rene Adler and Manuel Neuer and whilst he conceded twice Steele will be impressed with the string of saves Neuer made including two in the opening 10 minutes to keep Leverkusen at bay.
New Schalke manager Ralf Rangnick has insisted he wants to keep Neuer but the fact Schalke are in the Champions League quarter finals doesn't seem like it is enough to satisfy the keeper who is said to be disappointed with Schalke's form and position in the league this season whilst Adler has stated he is open to a move to United and may have a clause in his contract that allows him to move to United if we match Leverkusen's valuation.

Adderbury House 39
Banbury, Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England
Adderbury House dates from the 17th century; the gardens were altered through the 18th and 19th centuries, the park being landscaped by Lancelot Brown in about 1768. In the 20th century part of the park, including the lakes, was given to Oxfordshire County Council as a public park for the village. The house, which had been a care home for the elderly, is once more in private hands, with part of the original grounds.
The house dates from the 17th century, and was extended in 1722. James Gibbs made unexecuted designs for garden buildings for the 2nd Duke of Argyll in about 1725. Roger Morris added arcaded wings, 1731. Sir William Chambers made alterations to the house for the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch about 1768, and the park was landscaped by Lancelot Brown at this time. The house was largely demolished in 1808. In the 19th century, Adderbury House was owned by Major Larnach. When his horse Jeddah won the Derby at 100-1 and also won at Ascot, the Major gifted the building of the Village Institute, which opened in 1898.

Q: Adding filters to CIImage I creating an application for work with images, but I encountered a problem. I can not add filters to a photo and I do not know how to solve this problem.
I wrote own class for work with CIImage:
import CoreImage

typealias Filter = (CIImage) -> ()
typealias ParametersFilter = Dictionary<String, AnyObject>

public protocol PXImageDelegate {
   func updateImage(picker: PXImage)
}

public class PXImage: CIImage {

public var delegate: PXImageDelegate?

open var brightness: Float = 0 {
    willSet (value) {
        brightness = value
        brightness(value)(self)
        updateImage()
    }
}

open var contrast: Float = 1 {
    willSet (value) {
        contrast = value
        contrast(value)(self)
        updateImage()
    }
}

open var saturation: Float = 1 {
    willSet (value) {
        saturation = value
        saturation(value)(self)
        updateImage()
    }
}

private func brightness(_ value: Float) -> Filter {
    return { image in
        let parameters: ParametersFilter = [
            kCIInputBrightnessKey: value as AnyObject,
            kCIInputImageKey: image
        ]

        self.applyingFilter("CIColorControls", parameters: parameters)
    }
}

private func contrast(_ value: Float) -> Filter {
    return { image in
        let parameters: ParametersFilter = [
            kCIInputContrastKey: value as AnyObject,
            kCIInputImageKey: image
        ]

        self.applyingFilter("CIColorControls", parameters: parameters)
    }
}

private func saturation(_ value: Float) -> Filter {
    return { image in
        let parameters: ParametersFilter = [
            kCIInputSaturationKey: value as AnyObject,
            kCIInputImageKey: image
        ]

        self.applyingFilter("CIColorControls", parameters: parameters)
    }
}

func updateImage() {
    delegate?.updateImage(picker: self)
}

But when I changed values of brightness, contrast and saturation nothing happens. The picture remains static. Why is this happening?

A: First, take a look at the method signature for CIImage.applyingFilter.  It is not a mutating method; it returns a new CIImage.  Second the way that CIImage works is that its basically storing the image + the shader instructions for the filter.  It does not actually compile and execute the shader(s) until you either implcitly (for example by converting to UIImage) or explicily create a CIContext.  I can't tell if you are doing this or not since I can;t see your code.  In anycase you should ahve a chain of filters who's inputs are controlled by your parameters.  You then simply reevaluate the filters when any parameter is changed.
