Q: Will iOS ever play nice with Amazon purchased content? Are there any indications that I will be able to use my Amazon content on an iPad?
I have songs and videos with Amazon, and I would rather buy an iPad to watch/listen to them.
But I am being forced to get a Kindle Fire instead.

A: No, there aren't any signs that this will happen anytime soon.  Especially with Apple's In-App Purchase rules.

Large Prairie Forever Protected next to Willa Cather Memorial Prairie
Inspired by seemingly endless grasslands near Red Cloud, Willa Cather captured the beauty of Nebraska's prairies in words like no other. Although the prairie is no longer endless, a visitor to the 612-acre Willa Cather Memorial Prairie south of Red Cloud can still capture that experience, especially when they gaze at the adjacent 1,147-acre never-plowed prairie owned by Brandon and Kami Meyer. Thanks to the Meyer family, this prairie view will remain as timeless as Cather's novels, since it will now be conserved forever through a conservation easement with the Nebraska Land Trust that was completed in early June.
Kami's grandfather started this prairie on the road to conservation when he purchased it over 50 years ago with a goal to improve the grassland for wildlife and livestock. "Our family grew up with a very strong passion and respect for this particular pasture," Kami explained. "Not only is it ideal for grazing, it serves as an exceptional refuge for wildlife, fish and birds. With the rolling hills, heavily wooded creek, numerous ponds and springs, it would be a shame for this ground to not be protected for future generations to enjoy and appreciate."
In the side-hills of the Republican River Valley where the prairie is located, most of the native grasslands have been converted to cropland. "In the past decade," said Brandon, "farming and developments have taken such a large part of the countryside that we feel it is extremely important to do our part to protect some of the grassland that is left."
Ashley Olson, Executive Director of the Willa Cather Foundation, helped to identify the prairie as a conservation opportunity. "When visitors arrive at the Willa Cather Memorial Prairie," she said, "they have the rare opportunity to see a 360-degree view of undeveloped land" described so eloquently in Cather classics like My Antonia and O Pioneers. "We are pleased to have played a small role in facilitating this conservation easement," she continued, "and are certain that future generations will also marvel at the unbroken horizon and unplowed prairie described in Cather's writing."
To Wayne Mollhoff, author of The Nebraska Breeding Bird Atlas, the Meyer grassland's location is important for another reason. "If you can protect the Meyer Prairie and add those acres to the Cather Prairie, it will be a much more important resource [for wildlife] than if the same properties were several miles apart," he explained. In addition, he pointed to the diversity of habitat which attracts an array of birds. Whereas a person might find prairie chickens and meadowlarks in the grassland, they might also see four species of woodpeckers in the woodlands, wood ducks on the wetland and variety of raptors surveying it all from above.
Dave Sands, Executive Director of the Nebraska Land Trust, appreciated the Meyer's patience and commitment to conservation, as it took nearly three years to assemble the funding to purchase the conservation easement. Half of the funding was provided through the Natural Resources Conservation Service Agricultural Land Easement (ALE) program, which is designed to permanently conserve working farms and ranches under private ownership. The effort was initiated by funding from the Cottonwood Wind Project in Webster County and the remainder was provided by the Nebraska Environmental Trust. "I joke that forever shouldn't be rushed," Sands said, "and in this case, it certainly wasn't."
When asked about her thoughts on forever, Kami responded, "It is our hope that this pasture can be a part of our legacy that is passed down to our children and someday grandchildren, and that they will be able to enjoy it in the same natural state that we do." The same natural state that inspired Willa Cather.
The Omaha World-Herald covered the Meyer's legacy with their own article.

Geneva Open winner Casper Ruud says Wimbledon points penalty 'unfair'
Casper Ruud, of Norway, returns a ball to Joao Sousa, of Portugal, during their Final match, at the ATP 250 Geneva Open tournament in Geneva, Switzerland, Saturday, May 21, 2022. (Photo Credit: AP)
The world number eight goes into Roland Garros in hot form on his favourite surface, having successfully defended his Geneva Open title on Saturday following last week's run to the Rome semi-finals.
But while the Norwegian is -- by his own admission -- no ace on the grass, he felt for those players who see Wimbledon as their annual chance to shine at a Slam
The ATP and WTA acted in response to Wimbledon banning Russian and Belarusian players following the invasion of Ukraine
"It's given me confidence and hopefully some respect in the opponents' eyes," said Ruud
Casper Ruud said Saturday it was unfair on grass-court specialists that they cannot earn ranking points at Wimbledon as the clay-court star looks to rack them up at the French Open. The world number eight goes into Roland Garros in hot form on his favourite surface, having successfully defended his Geneva Open title on Saturday following last week's run to the Rome semi-finals. But while the Norwegian is — by his own admission — no ace on the grass, he felt for those players who see Wimbledon as their annual chance to shine at a Slam.
Wimbledon was stripped of ranking points on Friday by the sport's main tours in a move which threatens to reduce the Grand Slam to the status of a high-profile exhibition event.
The ATP and WTA acted in response to Wimbledon banning Russian and Belarusian players following the invasion of Ukraine.
"It's tough to mix politics with sport," Ruud told reporters after surviving a spirited challenge from Joao Sousa in the Geneva final.
"Wimbledon is not where I make most of my points, so for me, it's doesn't matter too much when you think about the points but for other players it's of course unfair that they cannot even get the chance," said Ruud.
"Everyone can understand both sides of the situation. First of all the statement to ban the Russians and Belarusians, it's tough. This decision is tough to know what is right and what is wrong."
Sousa added: "The ATP is trying to do their best for the players.
"Wimbledon made a decision that I'm not happy with, but that's their decision and I have to respect them."
Ruud respect
Ruud beat Portuguese world number 79 Sousa 7-6 (7/3), 4-6, 7-6 (7/1) in a close-fought duel that lasted just over three hours in draining temperatures that neared 30 degrees Celsius.
"It's given me confidence and hopefully some respect in the opponents' eyes," said Ruud.
"They will know my results and know I've been on a good roll the last two weeks and playing good matches and winning a lot of clay court matches.
"I hope I can continue the streak and have a good run in Paris."
French Open title favourites Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and rising star Carlos Alcaraz are in the other half of the draw from Ruud, leaving Stefanos Tsitsipas as his biggest potential obstacle on the road to the final.
"They are probably the four favourites to win and three of them are in the same half of the draw, so of course it's a good opportunity for me to have a good result in the Grand Slam," said Ruud.
It was a complete Agarwal show on the second day as the confident right-hander played his shots to all parts ...

Salle Gaveau
The Salle Gaveau dates from the very beginning of the 20th Century. In a specially built building, this concert hall with over 1,000 seats opened in 1907, specialised in chamber music. The auditorium is in the Italian style, meaning that the stage advances into the audience.
After having survived two World Wars, during which it was used for entertaining the troops, bankruptcy led to the venue being partly sold to an insurance company, and in 1963 the building was nearly transformed into... a car park.
However, two musician saved it from destruction, raising the funds to buy the building in 1976. In 1992 it became a listed building, but was in dire need of restoration. Happily, this was eventually made possible, with the help of an architect who had also helped with the restoration of the Paris opera house.
In 2001 the Salle Gaveau reopened completely renovated and is now a prestigious venue for classical music recitals and select concerts. Two other rooms, in the basement and on the fifth floor, are also available for private functions.

Q: Normable topology determined by its restriction to a finite number of factors? Is it generally true that all norms $\|\cdot\|$ on a finite product of normed spaces $E_1\times\dots\times E_n$ with $\|(0,\dots,0,x,0,\dots,0)\|=\|x\|_i$ where $\|\cdot\|_i$ denotes the norm on $E_i$ are compatible?  Or does this only hold for finite dimensional $E_i$?

A: Seems like the result is not true for normed spaces.
For any linear space $E$ with base vector set $B$ we have $\|\cdot\|_{B,\infty}:=\sum_{b\in B}\lambda_b b\mapsto\max_{b\in B}|\lambda_b|$ is a valid norm on $E$.
If we look at the space $c_{00}\times c_{00}$ with the standard base $B:=\{(e_i,0)\}_i\cup\{(0,e_i)\}_i$ as well as the non-standard base $C:=\{(e_i,0)\}_i\cup\{(ie_i,ie_i)\}_i$ then $\|\cdot\|_{B,\infty}$ coincides with $\|\cdot\|_{C,\infty}$ on $c_{00}\times\{0\}\cup\{0\}\times c_{00}$ but the two norms are not compatible.
I'll try to see if when we restrict ourselves to Banach spaces a positive result could be gained.

A: The result is true if we assume the $E_i$ to be Banach spaces and restrict ourselves to complete norms.  Let $\|\cdot\|_{\rm alt}$ be a complete norm on $E:=E_0\times\dots\times E_{n-1}$ with $\|(0,\dots,0,x_i,0,\dots,0)\|_{\rm alt}=\|x_i\|$ for $x_i\in E_i$.  Then $\|(x_0,\dots,x_{n-1})\|_{\rm alt}\le\|(x_0,\dots,x_{n-1})\|$ where the latter denotes the usual norm on product spaces defined as $\sum_{i<n}\|x_i\|$.  So ${\rm id}:(E,\|\cdot\|)\rightarrow (E,\|\cdot\|_{\rm alt})$ is a bijective bounded linear map between Banach spaces, hence by the bounded inverse theorem the mapping is a homeomorphism so the norms are equivalent.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is een Amerikaanse live-action/CGI komedie uit 2009 van Betty Thomas. De film is een vervolg van de in 2007 uitgebrachte film Alvin and the Chipmunks. In 2011 kwam er een derde film, getiteld Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.

Verhaal

Dave stuurt Alvin, Simon en Theodore naar school. Daar komen ze er echter al snel achter dat de school financiële problemen heeft met hun muziekprogramma. De directrice van de school is een grote fan van hen en denkt met hen de komende talentenjacht te kunnen winnen en zo hun muziekprogramma te redden. Ondertussen is Ian vrijgekomen uit de gevangenis en is op zoek naar dieren die goed kunnen zingen en dansen. Hij ontdekt toevallig de Chipettes. Hij wil hen zo vlug mogelijk beroemd maken. Ze belanden op school en moeten het opnemen tegen de Chipmunks in een wedstrijd om te ontdekken wie de school mag verdedigen in de talentenjacht. Maar de Chipmunks hechten niet veel aandacht aan de wedstrijd, ze zien het veel meer als hun taak om de Chipettes uit de handen van Ian te krijgen.

Q: What does thunderous silence mean? Shouldn't it 'deafening silence'? I encountered this in an article..., English is my second language so I am very curious..

A: The two  words are practically synonymous.
A deafening silence is one that is all encompassing; nothing can be heard at all.
A thunderous silence is an oxymoron - it is a silence so profound it is, itself, loud.

Why is linguistics such a magnet for dilettantes and crackpots?
Talking gibberish: The study of languages has long been prone to nonsense. Gaston Dorren.
https://aeon.co/essays/why-is-linguistics-such-a-magnet-for-dilettantes-and-crackpots
Ah, for the days of fact-free linguistics! The pre-scientific era might have produced a lot of codswallop and hogwash, but how entertaining it is to look back upon. Scholars erred in ways that few modern linguists ever would. Today, their field of study is a respectable social science, exacting in its methods, broad in its scope and generous in its harvest. Without phoneticians, computers wouldn't be able to process spoken English. Without sociolinguists, prejudice against dialects and non-Western languages would still be rife – or rather, rifer still. Forensic linguists help to solve crimes, clinical linguists treat people with language impairments, historical linguists shed light on language change and even on prehistoric culture and migration – the list goes on and on. As in other disciplines, pertinent questions and rigorous methods to answer them have been at the root of success.
When natural philosophy began to slowly develop into physics and other natural sciences, learned speculation in the human domain did not immediately follow suit. But it too gradually developed into what we now call the social sciences, and the study of language was one of the earliest adopters of the new methods. Its practitioners would pore over ancient texts written in long-dead languages and long-forgotten scripts, and compare them ever more systematically. This led to a breakthrough in the late 18th century, when there emerged new ideas about the historical origins of modern languages. Most of these ideas have stood the test of time.
But the budding discipline did not merely come up with new answers, it also changed the questions. Scholars of yore, when reflecting upon language, would wonder things such as: which of the contemporary languages was spoken by the first man? Which one is superior to the rest? And which of the human tongues deserves the label 'divine'? Modern linguists will not touch those with a 10-foot pole. The oldest language is unknowable, but it was certainly different from anything spoken today. The 'best' language is impossible to define in any meaningful way. And as for 'divine' – the very word is meaningless in relation to languages, except in a cultural sense.
Not so in the olden days. Indeed, the answers seemed pretty obvious to many thinkers, if only thanks to that most anti-scientific habit of mind known as ethnocentrism. To the ancient Greeks, determining the world's most excellent language was a perfect no-brainer: it could only be theirs. People who spoke differently were 'barbarians' or babblers. The Romans were only slightly more broad-minded. Their appreciation extended beyond Latin to other languages with a tradition of writing, especially Greek (which might conceivably even be superior), but also Punic, spoken by the Carthaginians, and Etruscan. All scriptless languages, however, were sneered at. Even in the late 5th century, with Rome's power gone, the Roman aristocrat Sidonius Apollinaris called the Germanic language of the new rulers 'an instrument of but three strings'.
Other cultures were equally self-complacent. In the last centuries BCE, the people of North India felt that their Sanskrit was nothing less than divine, and 1,000 years later the Arabs would feel likewise about the language of the Quran. For the Chinese, civilising the neighbouring peoples was practically tantamount to familiarising them with the only great language. The French of the Enlightenment, not to be outdone, deemed their language better than divine – it was logical.
This claim was perhaps most famously defended by the 18th-century writer Antoine de Rivarol on grounds that were both illogical and plain wrong. He argued that the French word order (subject first, followed by verb and then object) is both unique and more logical than any other. But not only is it extremely common among the world's languages, it's also an order that French itself very often does not respect – and these are only some of the more obvious objections.
As silly as it is, the notion of 'French as the pinnacle of logic' became an idée reçue. The cover of my first French dictionary, published in the 1950s (and not even in France!) claimed that the language was 'an unsurpassed creation as a vehicle for the mind'. The Arabs, Chinese and Greeks would beg to differ.
Today, the language of choice is English, especially in most of the Western world. And sure enough, it has inherited French's status as the allegedly superior language. How rich in vocabulary it is, how suitable for song and science, how clear, concise and, in a word, cool. And how this makes me – as a non-English speaker – chuckle. English is not a bad language as languages go but, a century from now, all the exultant praise will sound as silly as it would have sounded less than a century ago, before its rise to dominance.
Speakers of big languages are not the only ones to get carried away by love for their lingo. Quite a few people in Tamil Nadu in South India used quite literally to consider the Tamil language a goddess, and some still do. And early medieval Irish monks spun this elaborate yarn to prove that Irish Gaelic stood alone: after God had destroyed the Tower of Babel and confused the tongues of man, King Phenius of Scythia travelled thither with his son and 72 scholars. Out of the best elements of all the confused languages they found there, they created a new one: Irish.
As for the oldest language, this was Hebrew. At least, this is something that Christians commonly believed for more than 1,000 years. (Only Saint Ephrem the Syrian held that his own Syriac was older.) The Church Father Augustine, for instance, wrote in the 5th century:
so when the nations, by a prouder godlessness, earned the punishment of the dispersion and the confusion of tongues, … there was still the house of Heber in which the primitive language of the race survived. … His family preserved that language which is not unreasonably believed to have been the common language of the race, it was on this account thenceforth named Hebrew.
For a long time, it was considered heresy to doubt that the Hebrew language and script of the Bible were inspired by God – including the so-called vowel points, which were actually added by rabbis several centuries after the beginning of our era.
Even today, Christians who take the Bible literally adhere to the traditional view. In 2011, the Dutchman Willem Westerbeke published a theological tract titled 'God Spoke Hebrew'. And as in Christianity, so elsewhere: one Thakur Prasad Verma in 2005 claimed not only that Sanskrit was the original language of all humankind, but that it was a direct gift from above: 'Vedas are verbal transformations of God.' And in a scholarly tome, too.
Outside the churches, the consensus slowly began to crack and crumble from the Renaissance on and, between the 16th and 18th centuries, one scholar after another came up with other 'first languages' (see table below). German was a popular candidate, but the 17th-century Swedish scholar Olof Rudbeck favoured his own mother tongue, for a reason that was nothing if not creative: Sweden, he argued, was Atlantis, and thus the cradle of human civilisation.

What Nihilism is
What Nihilism is.
"Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of 'world history', but nevertheless,it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. – One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened."
(Nietzsche 1873)
Being fed up with life & with men: One life is more than enough
In Burma, in a Buddhist sermon by one of the most senior monks in the country, a NY Times journalist talks to a lady:
I got talking to Daw Kyaing, aged 65, a woman with a lovely smile. I asked her why there were more women than men attending.
"Because only the women want to go to heaven. The men are busy drinking."
"Where will the men go?
"To hell."
"What do you want to be in in your next life?"
"I don't want to come back in any form."
"One life is enough?"
"More than enough."
"You wouldn't want to come back as a man?"
"No. I don't want to drink. My husband was violent. We had 11 children. Now he can't drink, so he doesn't beat me anymore. I live with him, and grow rice, on a bend in the peaceful river."

I think that sums up things pretty well: Life is not worth living.Thats why there are anti-natalists: http://www.bipartisanalliance.com/2017/11/anti-natalist-philosophers-contend-life.html
Now, since you are alive, you may be useful to others. Or maybe you should be useful, we are not exempt of having good behavior, good words and good intentions:
care (with modest behavior) for your neighbors if you have no family or you are not in speaking terms with your kin;
try to be virtuous, from the easy to the difficult:
relatively easy: do not jump the queue, park the car well, do not litter, do not be noisy at home or in public, open the doors/give your seat to others (with modesty, not showing pompously you are such a good fellow), ...;
difficult: protect the weak, do not support discrimination of defenseless people --- this doesn't mean you need to offend the traditionalists in your country or family/clan/tribe, just be modest, rational and force you to believe that all human beings are that, human (not pigs/monkeys/cockroaches, as many say of those who are different), and behave with respect for all, despite their class defects (wrong religion, noisyness, wrong clothes, wrong customs, wrong politics, etc.);
work for some NGO some hours per week;
or create your own one --- possible ideas for your own NGO, besides helping neighbors:
teach your abilities to others (at work, to children in your area), always with modesty, since people is easly offended by those who offer help;
contribute a few pennies of your savings to buy a blanket, or water, or something else that is much needed for some person in your neighborhood (or a distant place, of course).
if you have talents for it, learn to play music, painting, etc., and entertain the others with your capabilities;
if you are exceptional in strength (physical and mental), you may some day be a firefighter, policeman, soldier;
try to be less sad, choleric, harsh to others;
physical exercise helps to be more useful in case of catastrophe.
Legal & readily accessible abortion is estimated to have caused a 34 pct reduction in first births, a 19 pct reduction in first marriages, & a 63 pct reduction in "shotgun marriages" prior to age 19
The Power of Abortion Policy: Reexamining the Effects of Young Women's Access to Reproductive Control. Caitlin Knowles Myers. Journal of Political Economy, http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdfplus/10.1086/694293
Abstract: I provide new evidence on the relative "powers" of contraception and abortion policy in effecting the dramatic social transformations of the 1960s and 1970s. Trends in sexual behavior suggest that young women's increased access to the birth control pill fueled the sexual revolution, but neither these trends nor difference-in-difference estimates support the view that this also led to substantial changes in family formation. Rather, the estimates robustly suggest that it was liberalized access to abortion that allowed large numbers of women to delay marriage and motherhood.
[...] policy environments in which abortion has legal and readily accessible by young women are estimated to have caused a 34 percent reduction in first births, a 19 percent reduction in first marriages, and a 63 percent reduction in "shotgun marriages" prior to age 19.
Between the 1950 and 1955 birth cohorts, the fraction of women having sex prior to age 18 increased from 34 to 47 percent.
[...] cohorts that experienced the most rapid changes in sexual behavior exhibited little change in fertility.
Lahey (2014)...finds that the introduction of abortion restrictions in the nineteenth century increased birthrates by 4-12 percent...

Jessica Ackerman - If you have a patio, chances are you're just a bit sad that summer is ending. Some people look at the end of summer as the end of entertaining and relaxing on their outdoor patio. Fortunately, with a little decorating and a few additional accessories, you can continue to enjoy your patio area well into the autumn months. Here are some tips to help you get your patio ready for fall fun.
Although autumn days are usually still warm, the evenings can start to get a bit too cool to sit out on the patio. You can fix this situation by adding a patio stove or heater. These come in a wide variety of styles and sizes, including larger free-standing models as well as smaller tabletop or wall-mounted heaters.
When choosing a patio heater, you should consider the amount of area that you wish to heat. On the average, a small unit will only be able to warm up a circle around ten feet in diameter, while a larger one can warm up an area at least twice that size.
Propane, natural gas, and electric models are all popular choices. Be sure any model you choose includes a safety shut off.
Here are some other stay-warm patio ideas that will help you keep your resolution.
Patio fireplaces can also be a good choice for fall patio enjoyment.
Keep a warm blanket or quilt nearby for added comfort on chilly autumn evenings.
Furniture with hidden storage can work well for keeping a quilt and other supplies nearby.
Using cushions on your patio furniture can also make them more warm and comfortable.
Outdoor thermometer wall clocks are great for keeping track of the temperature as well as the time when you're out on the patio. They also add a decorative touch.
Since autumn days are shorter, you'll have more need for patio lighting. Table lanterns, hurricane lamps, and patio string lights are all good choices. In fact, you'll probably want to have several lighting options so that you can match the level of light to your mood and the event. Patio string lights come in such a wide variety of colors and styles, you should have no problem finding a set that adds the perfect finishing touch to your autumn patio decorating theme.
Cooler autumn evenings often bring an end to many summer flowers and plants. If your patio planters are looking a bit sparse, replant them for the fall season with hardy mums, pansies, and violas. Pansies and violas will often bounce back in the early spring, providing a bit of color when nothing else is blooming.
You can also get a bit more enjoyment from some of your hanging basket plants by moving them indoors in the evening. Simply sitting them in the garage can provide enough protection to allow you to continue to enjoy them during the daytime, well into the autumn months.
Decorating the patio with pumpkins, gourds, and other seasonal items can also add color and a touch of autumn to your patio decor.
Art pieces such as a tree wall art hanging can add a seasonal touch to your back patio wall.


We are a group of college kids who have banned together over a united love for short shorts. We believe in cheap beer, liberated thighs, and celebrating the weekend the moment the clock hits 5 PM on Friday. But most importantly, we're just here to have a good time and rock the hell out of some adult Floaties.


I am inspired by my 20 year-old son Dusty who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I wanted to do something positive that would make difference, so I founded a charity that would raise awareness and funds, and I made a movie about his life, called Dusty's Trail: Summit of Borneo. But there was more. I have been so blessed by his life, and the lives of my other two children, that I felt the need to give something back. I wanted to give the gift of a lotus to everyone I came in contact with. So here it is, a gift for you! My creative daughter Gabriella designed our Sarvada lotus logo, which is also the logo of our charity, Coalition Duchenne.

The most competitive races and measures on the Santa Barbara and Ventura primary ballot
Written by Breanne Norberg May. 24, 2018 Election 2020
It's primary season! Voter materials have already arrived for those with vote-by-mail ballots, and election day is quickly approaching on Tuesday, June 5.
Santa Barbara June primaries
Here's a look at some of some of the races and measures that'll appear on local ballots for Santa Barbara County residents.
Santa Barbara city Westside district election
This election will fill a seat on Santa Barbara's City Council left vacant when former Westside city councilmember Cathy Murillo took her new position as mayor. Only Westside residents in the 3rd District will have a say.
"We have a group of candidates who wouldn't otherwise run if it weren't for a district election," says Noozhawk reporter Joshua Molina. "We've got three Mexican-American candidates, which is extraordinarily unusual for a city council election, and we've got an outlier of sorts — a 22-year-old Santa Barbara City College female student."
The seat could act as the tipping vote for city-wide policies ranging on issues from affordable housing to accessory dwelling units and pension reform, says Molina, since many of these more partisan issues face a 3-3 tie by the current six council members.
santa barbara county sheriff's race
Sheriff Bill Brown is up for re-election, but this time, two of his lieutenants are rising to challenge him.
Both Lieutenant Brian Olmstead and Eddie Hseu have criticized Brown on the issue of employee morale, saying he has created a system that expects employees to work overtime rather than recruiting more deputies to fill work shortages.
Both challengers are campaigning to boost morale, recruit more officers and address poor conditions within the jail.
While Olmstead emphasizes his good relationship with the County Board of Supervisors, Hsueh (the lone Democrat) stresses his track record training officers in crisis intervention, implicit bias, and interacting with people suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues.
Tune into Morning Edition this week as KCRW's Jonathan Bastian sits down with each candidate.
Isla Vista community services district funding
Residents of the small UCSB-adjacent beachside community voted to create a local government called the Isla Vista Community Services District in 2016. But, they didn't choose to fund it.
Now, voters are being asked to pass a funding measure to finance the IVCSD's projects — again. Failure to approve a funding tax by 2023 will force the organization to expire.
For more on the IVCSD funding vote, check out the recent Independent article covering it.
Ventura June Primaries
Here's a look at some of some of the most competitive races on the local ballots for Ventura County residents.
25th Congressional District election
The race to unseat incumbent Republican Steve Knight of Santa Clarita is being closely watched by both Democrats and Republicans.
The 25th Congressional District covers northern Los Angeles County as well as inland sections of Ventura County. It's been held by a Republican since 1993, but that could change, according to Cal State Channel Islands political science professor Tim Allison.
"Steve Knight fits the district perfectly as it was composed about ten years ago," said Allison. "But, the district has changed to a much more moderate one, and now you have a conservative stuck in an increasingly moderate district."
Some credible Democratic candidates challenging him include Bryan Caforio, who seeks to once again oppose Congressman Knight after coming in a close second to him just two years ago, and new challenger Katie Hill, who denied Caforio the Democratic endorsement and has been out-raising Steve Knight in some quarters, according to Allison.
"It's kind of the year of the woman," said Allison. "It's the MeToo moment, women are filing for office in record numbers and gaining traction in a lot of seats, and I think all of those factors are pretty helpful for Katie Hill."
Democrat Jess Phoenix, a geologist, is getting support from those encouraging scientists to run for office.
"The fear of the Democratic side is that they're gonna be beating each other up, and somebody's going to emerge from the primary a little bruised, bloodied and broke," says Allison.
Learn more about the 25th Congressional election in this KCRW feature.
ventura county 4th District Supervisor Seat
Peter Foy is not seeking re-election, and three very different candidates have emerged to take over his district seat.
Republican Mayor Bob Huber of Simi Valley has thrown his hat in the ring, as well as Democrat Bernardo Perez, a Ventura County Community College trustee.
And then there's the wildcard candidate, Republican farmer Andy Waters.
"Andy Waters is trying to be the outsider, and has indicated that he has a lot of money that he's willing to put into the race to buy name recognition," said Allison. "That's kind of how Peter Foy got elected."
The least interesting races?
Two Santa Barbara County supervisor roles are being sought without competition. Both 5th District incumbent Steve Lavagnino and 2nd District candidate Gregg Hart are running unopposed.
There's only one person running to replace Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean, who's not seeking re-election: Assistant Sheriff Bill Ayub. Businessman and sheriff hopeful Bruce Boyer is asking an appeals court to look into the constitutionality of a state law that requires sheriff candidates to be trained and experienced law enforcement officers, but so far hasn't gotten much traction.
Other candidates running unopposed include Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools Susan Salcido, Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks and Ventura County Superintendent of Schools Stanley Mantooth
You can find all the candidates running for local offices in Ventura here, and Santa Barbara here.

Red Wing, MN Native Wins Over $20,000 on Wheel of Fortune!
James Rabe Published: May 27, 2021
(Wheel of Fortune)
On the May 18th, 2021 Wheel of Fortune, Chris Newman, raised in Red Wing, Minnesota, and now living in Hawthorne, California, won $20,700...and he had to beat cancer to do it.
Chris spinning the wheel for the first time on the show. (Wheel of Fortune)
That sounds like the beginning of a romance novel, but it really happened to the Minnesota native. According to a story in the Post Bulletin, Newman had twice auditioned for the show, and both time failed to make it on after...
a) Not smiling enough
ii) Calling out a letter already on the board.
He tried again and this time he included his story about being in remission from Stage 4 melanoma. The cancer was diagnosed in 2018, he went into remission later that year and has been in remission since. Awesome on it's own.
That seemed to do the trick, and on the show, Chris came in second place, winning $20,700!
See the whole show, including Christ going bankrupt but comin' back strong!
As always, if you have a comment, complaint, or concern about something I wrote here, please let me know: james.rabe@townsquaremedia.com

At the practice of Dr. Dean Dietrich in the Dolton, IL area, many patients may find out that they need root canal therapy. Root canal therapy is a procedure that is performed by a dentist who wants to help maintain the structure of a natural tooth and avoid extraction. There are many reasons a patient may need to undergo root canal therapy. They may have had trauma to the tooth that has affected the dental pulp, causing pain. They may be experiencing a deep cavity or infection within the tooth that is resulting in discomfort. A toothache is often a sign of a problem and must be evaluated by a quality dentist to determine the best treatment option.
Dr. Dean Dietrich of Pleasant Dental is a dentist who can diagnose a problem, provide treatment, and restore the smile with endodontic therapy. The procedure is done in his practice under appropriate sedation and anesthetics for optimum comfort, though many patients associate root canals with pain. This is never the case; we want to make sure our patients are comfortable before, during, and after their procedure. This is a common fear of many patients, but they are assured in our practice that they will be comfortable.
In fact in our office root canal therapy is easily the procedure that more patients fall asleep during than anything else we do. Generally the treatment is comfortable if only somewhat tedious. Vibrations on the tooth is about all you typically experience.
Shortly after the root canal therapy, patients often have their tooth prepped and impressions made to fabricate a dental crown for placement over the top. This provides an extra layer of protection for the tooth that may be weakened due to the damage that caused the need for the root canal treatment.
If you are in the Dolton, IL area and are interested in finding out more about the advantages of root canal therapy, Dr. Dean Dietrich is here to provide more information. Contact Pleasant Dental today to book a consultation visit.
I have always been nervous about the dentist, but they made my visit a pleasure. I'm still nervous about the work that I have to get done but I believe their going to make me as comfortable as possible.


When you plan your Disneyland vacation, keep these shows to see at the Disneyland Resort in mind. Not only will they offer you a chance to cool off from the hot sun, but they are great places to learn something new. From educational to magical, these shows in the Disneyland park will leave everyone in your family happy.
Music, animatronics, and fun visions of Hawaii are fantastic in this attraction. It's not a ride but a fun experience that everyone will enjoy. The Enchanted Tiki Room showcases the great artistic renditions of classic Hawaiian fountains, music, totem poles, and more. Tiki torches, low lighting, and amazing effects make it a family favorite. It is also a great reminder to stop and grab a Dole Whip when the show is over!
Admittedly, this is one that appeals to older kids and adults more than the younger crew. This storytelling hour with an animatronic President Abraham Lincoln gives you a great first hand view of his life, childhood, family, and time as President.
Many of us grew up with reruns of The Muppet Show on TV. Many kids have been introduced to the Muppets through MuppetVision 3D at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The 3D effects in MuppetVision was spectacular when it first came out, but it is also stunning today. It also provides a cool place to take a break on a hot sunny day.
Lighting up the park with color, waterfalls, and music, the World of Color is a wonderful way to end the night. Disney California Adventure Park features the World of Color as a great evening presentation everyone will thoroughly enjoy hanging around to see. It is my favorite nighttime show on either coast.
Afternoon parades on Main Street are always fun, and it is an excellent chance to see dozens of your favorite Disney characters in one place. This is a popular choice with families; since, kids will have fun seeing their favorite characters dancing and singing.
Based upon the classic Disney film Fantasia, this experience is by far one of the most beloved productions in the park. Beautiful sights, sounds, and stunt work put this performance in the must see category at Disneyland. Nightly performances are usually at 9 pm and 10:45 pm during the busy season, so it is definitely something to plan for if you are in the park later in the day.
The Dapper Dans are a barbershop quartet at its best along Main Street. They come out to perform at specific times throughout the day. If you love classic harmonies, then you will be a huge fan of this great performance group. Check the Disneyland website for details on their next show and make sure to be in the area.
We love taking the time out of a busy hot day to sit down at one of these shows to see at the Disneyland Resort. While most of these are things you can sit and relax to watch, some will have to be planned, so you don't lose out on a great seat. We love the late night shows, as well as the chance to sneak into the Enchanted Tiki Room or to sit in the theater to listen to Mr. Lincoln.
The Tiki room is always a wonderment tome I loves it as a child and so glad my daughter enjoys it to plus its always so nice and cool inside its great to come in there and sit down and listen to the Parrots sing !!

Parks, Recreation & Culture Strategic Plan
Blueways Master Plan
Greenways Master Plan
Natural Areas Management Plan
Explore the future of our parks, recreation and culture, as outlined in the award-winning Parks, Recreation & Culture Strategic Plan.
The Parks, Recreation & Culture (PRC) Strategic Plan is a blueprint for determining PRC facility and service decisions until 2027.
The Plan is a forward-looking strategy that identifies the greatest needs and opportunities for our residents, and presents a vision of a healthy, green, inclusive community, where individuals, culture and the environment thrive.
The PRC Plan will guide future decision making while allowing the City to be responsive to changing needs and demographics. The Plan has two primary purposes: to set direction and to guide investment.
Parks Division
The Parks Division plans, develops and maintains the City's extensive park system. The Division plays a key role in the stewardship of the natural environment and the engagement of our residents, through the delivery of a variety of outdoor programs, services and events. The Plan includes 49 recommendations for parks, including the development or expansion of 45 parks across the City.
Community and Recreation Division
The Community and Recreation Services (CRS) Division is responsible for the operation of a variety of community and recreation facilities, as well as the delivery of programs and services to support lifelong health, well-being and engagement. The Plan includes 36 recommendations for CRS, including new community centres, ice rinks and program expansion across the City.
Culture Division
The Culture Division is responsible for the operation of a variety of arts, heritage and cultural facilities as well as the delivery of programs, services and special events to support a vibrant and engaged community. The Plan includes 73 recommendations for cultural services, including new community art spaces across the City, an expansion to the Cultural Grants Program and an Interactive Art Museum in City Centre.
A comprehensive community engagement process was used to identify and prioritize the service and facility needs of Surrey residents and stakeholders. Efforts were taken to ensure a broad range of residents across geographic areas and demographic groups were consulted, including ideas fairs, surveys, workshops, focus groups and community meetings.
In total, feedback from more than 5,000 individuals and more than 250 community groups was considered in creating this Plan.
PRC Strategic Plan
PRC Facility Inventory
Engagement Report
Heritage Review
In spring 2018, the PRC Strategic Plan won Gold in the Excellence in Policy Planning - City & Urban Areas category of the Planning Institute of British Columbia's annual awards.
Later in 2018, the Plan also won the Respect for Diversity, Inclusion and Culture category of the International Association of Public Participation's Core Value Awards.
Future Engagement Opportunities
Success in delivering the strategic objectives of this Plan relies on the continued involvement of the public and stakeholders as community partners. A sustained dialogue with stakeholders, through regular monitoring and updating of the Plan, will assist the City in meeting expectations.
Two updates of this Plan will be undertaken: an initial review in late 2020 at the end of the "short term" time frame, and a second in late 2023 at the end of the "medium term" time frame. Community engagement opportunities will be offer during these plan updates.
Full implementation of the Plan is estimated at $357 million (2018) in new one-time capital (includes $51 million in self-funded capital) and $26 million in new annual operating funding. These funds will cover the costs to design, develop and operating all the facilities, infrastructure, parks, programs and services within the Plan.
Learn about some of past projects:
North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex – A new ice rink facility
Clayton Community Centre – A new centre with recreation, arts and library spaces
Museum of Surrey – A facility expansion with new galleries, workshops and program spaces
Cloverdale Athletic Park – Park improvements: new turf field and field house
South Surrey Athletic Park – Park improvements: new rugby field house and cover soccer field
Glades Garden Park – Park improvements: garden expansion, parking and field house
Current and future projects are outlined on our Capital Projects page.

How do antibiotic-resistant bacteria develop and find their way into our food?
Learn what antibiotics are, how they work, and how bacteria become resistant to their effects. Hear how antibiotics are used from the perspective of healthcare and veterinary professionals. Explore how antibiotics are used in farming: How can antibiotic-resistant bacteria find their way onto our food? What impact does the environment and global trade have on the spread of this bacteria? Finally, consider what might be done to tackle antibiotic resistance: How effective are current policies? Can we find new types of antibiotics or alternatives to antibiotics? What can we do internationally?

0:23Skip to 0 minutes and 23 seconds Antimicrobial resistance has become a global hot topic over the last few years with the recent report by Lord Jim O'Neill suggesting that this could throw medicine back into the Dark Ages with up to 10 million deaths by the year 2050. This is the equivalent of one death every three seconds. Medical and veterinary professionals have been aware of this problem for 10 years. It is only recently that the public and politicians have become aware of this as a growing threat to international public and animal health and national economies. But what is antimicrobial resistance, or AMR as it's sometimes called? What are antibiotics or antimicrobials? And what is antibiotic resistance? And how does it develop?
1:03Skip to 1 minute and 3 seconds Antibiotics are not only used to treat human infections, they're also used to treat livestock diseases. And in some countries, they're used to stimulate the growth of livestock. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be carried in the intestines of livestock and contaminate carcasses during the slaughter process and ultimately end up in the meat on our plates. So we can't divorce ourselves from the consequences of using antibiotics in our food production.
1:35Skip to 1 minute and 35 seconds What are national governments and international organisations doing about this? Can more be done? Particularly in agriculture. Can we find new antibiotics? And are there any alternatives available?
1:48Skip to 1 minute and 48 seconds We live in a shrinking economic world. How do the farm practices of far-flung countries affect what happens to us here? Perhaps we can live in a world without antibiotics. But what would such a world look like? This three week course offers explanations for some of these issues. And we talk to key players in antimicrobial research, both in human and veterinary medicine, including representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, the veterinary profession, DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate. There will be articles, infographics, and you can take part in tests to test your knowledge. And also in discussion forums to explore new solutions.
2:28Skip to 2 minutes and 28 seconds So join us on this new course on Antimicrobial Resistance in the Food Chain. Find out more.
The mechanisms and transfer of antimicrobial resistance
Why is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) such a pressing issue? Find out what we will be covered in this course and meet the educators who will be guiding you through it.
What are antibiotics?
Learn about what antibiotics are, the history of their discovery, and how they actually work to fight infections.
Uses of antibiotics
Find out about when and how antibiotics are used within human and veterinary medicine.
How does resistance develop?
Uncover the mechanisms by which resistance has developed through the overuse of antibiotics.
Transmissible antimicrobial resistance
How does resistance in bacteria spread to increase the pool of resistance?
Antibiotics in the food chain
Introduction to Week 2
This week we will explore the role of antibiotics in the food chain in more detail. We start by looking at the public's perception of AMR, and we consider how much danger it poses compared to other existential threats.
AMR and the Food Chain

AMR and the Environment
The wider environment has been affected enormously by the use of antibiotics. (Photo by Matthew McVickar).
AMR and International Trade
What role does international trade have in the spread of antibiotic resistance across the globe?
Antibiotic usage and control: Past, present and future
This week we explore the ways in which we might be able to tackle the problem of AMR.
Past: History of AMR in the Food Chain
Explore the history of antibiotics in agriculture and what efforts have been made so far to monitor and control their usage. (Photo courtesy Orange County Archives).
Present: What are we doing to address AMR?
Review the current approaches for controlling the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Future: Further Opportunities for Control
Explore possible methods we may use to tackle AMR in the future, including new scientific developments and improvements to international control measures. Could a world without antibiotics ever be viable?
In this final section, we summarise the key themes that have been covered over the last three weeks and provide suggestions for further study. Passing the final assessment will mean you qualify for a certificate of completion.

What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...
Describe the connection between antibiotic use and the development of antibiotic resistance.
Describe the mechanisms and dynamics of transfer of resistant bacteria within and along the food chain, as well as describe the environmental impact of the use of antimicrobials.
Appraise current legislation and policy in relation to controlling usage of antimicrobials in the food chain.
Identify alternative approaches to infection control not involving antibiotics.
Who is the course for?
This course is for anyone with an interest in antibiotics, food and farming, and how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will affect our lives in the future. We aim to give you up-to-date information on the key issues in this topic, along with the opinions of leading experts from the world of industry, academia, medicine/veterinary medicine and government.
For those keen to learn more about this area, we also offer a more in-depth online course on Poultry Health, in which we explore how disease can be controlled in the poultry industry; a sector that is particularly susceptible to the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
What do people say about this course?
"I enjoyed the course immensely and it has increased my knowledge regarding AMR 100%. I would thank all that have put the course together and so actively been involved. Thanks to the participants, we have had some great and thought-provoking discussions. "

Some more cool 3D dungeon tiles, at a very reasonable price, with plenty of cool accessories! Read about it here.
Last day, so if you're interested, check it out now. There are lots of extra tiles unlocked as free or addon stretch goals.
Are these not just Hirst Arts pieces that some one has pre-assembled and painted?
the Fluted Column is a recast of a cake decoration by looks; have they stated anywhere they designed and made the masters?
He states on the front page that they are HA molds nd he has distribution rights......if I remember rightly.

Q: Is it possible to host SQL server in the cloud and connect an ASP.NET app hosted on DiscountASP? Does anyone know if it's possible to host a SQL server in the cloud and connect an ASP.NET app hosted on DiscountASP?
I'd like to consolidate my SQL Server instances but keep the web app hosting where it's at.  There are various reasons for I want to do this and I don't particularly want to get into it. I don't have any experience with cloud computing but I'm trying to wrap my head around it. It seems to be similar to standard hosting except for the metered billing and flexibility. If my idea is nuts and flawed, feel free to let me know, but be nice. ;-)

A: Yes, but subject to the following:

*

*Unless your cloud provider offers a VPN or you otherwise encrypt the data, all traffic will be unencrypted over the internet

*It will probably be slow as every DB operation goes over the internet.

*Some cloud providers (Amazon for sure) charge for internet traffic but not for internal traffic.

A: Depnding on what features you use of SQL Server, SQL Azure hosting is close to production, it goes live for the US datacentres in January (PDC announcement) and billing for the service starts in February.
At present though the database limits are purely 1GB and 10GB which is a bit limiting, but if your data can be partitioned across databases and the app can be changed to understand this then the limitation is not so harsh.
It has limitations on functionality etc but it is a potential choice that could be investigated - but not the only one.
