A couple of weekends ago my Mum and I had a weekend away in Plymouth. Heading back to my fangirl days, Jay from The Wanted, or you may know him as the winner of last year's Strictly, was starring the main role in new musical – Big! The musical is based on the classic film BIG, starring Tom Hanks and Jay played 'big' Josh Baskin. Of course, being both mum and I's favourite celeb ever, we had to head down and support him!
The 7 hour round journey on Friday was long but totally worth it for such a brilliant weekend. The train led all the way around the coast giving us some pretty awesome views! Mum and I stayed in The Jury's Inn, right by the city centre and conveniently opposite a Primark (winning!). On Friday we settled in, had a look around the city before dusk and then ate at Revolution. Look how pretty their water is! After a couple of beers at the hotel we headed out and met Jay at the stage door after his performance! You can see that picture on my instagram here.
The following morning we headed out for breakfast. We checked out some of the marina restaurants and opted for Boston Tea Party. This was a super cute cafe with all of the cakes. Having made some pretty awesome American Pancakes myself a few weeks ago, I chose to have the Pancakes with fruit compote and greek yoghurt. Safe to say it was a good choice!
For the rest of the day we did a whole lot of shopping! In the evening we got ready for the musical! I wore a high neck black top layered with my primark dress, and wore my newly-bought boots. I took a few photos but I'm hoping to get this look on the blog properly soon!
Big The Musical was AMAZING. I may be biased, but Jay played the role of big Josh Baskin perfectly. If you're unfamiliar with the storyline of Big, a young boy called Josh comes across a Zoltar and wishes to be big, little does he know, this wish comes true. Waking up an adult, big Josh Baskin finds himself having to live in the real world, scoring a job at a toy company and falling in love.
Knowing Jay's personality before scoring this role, I can honestly say he matches big Josh's character perfectly. The musical was full of emotions, I was laughing throughout and even shed a tear a couple of times! Big hits Dublin over Christmas, and will be heading to the West End some time next year – I will definitely be heading down to see it again (this time a slightly shorter journey!).
Do you fancy seeing Big The Musical? Have you been to Plymouth before?!

Slapstick Encyclopedia, Volume 1: In the Beginning
A Note from Lindsey: Today begins TMP's 11-part series on the Slapstick Encyclopedia DVD set! This series will run every Thursday for the next 11 weeks.
Slapstick Encyclopedia is a unique little DVD collection. Containing films with release years ranging from 1909 to the late 1920s, it was curated and produced by film historians David Shepard and Joe Adamson. Major figures of the silent era (Keaton, Sennett, Arbuckle, Chaplin, etc.) are featured, as are lesser-known silent comedy masters.
This set was obviously a labor of love for those creators, birthed from a passion for silent comedy, and it does a great service to film history and budding/future generations of film fanatics. If you're looking for something with fancy menus and extensive commentaries, this set won't hit the mark for you, but I consider it a valuable addition to my collection because it includes so many wonderful comedies that were previously unknown to me… and simply because it preserves these works, many of which are around 100 years old.
Included in the Volume 1 section of Slapstick Encyclopedia's first disc are the following films:
(Screen capture by Lindsey for TMP)
One Too Many (1916)
Directed by: Will Louis
Starring: Oliver Hardy
This film was part of a series known as "Plump and Runt," which — not unlike Hardy's legendary films paired with Stan Laurel — pretty much just follows a fat man and a skinny man dealing with some sort of mishap-laden scenario. In this case, "Plump" is attempting to convince his uncle that he's married and has a baby, hiring ladies to pose as his wife and babies to pose as the child. The funniest scene involves Hardy swaddling a grown man and stuffing him in a crib, hoping that'll pass for a baby.
The Wrong Mr. Fox (1917)
Directed by: Harry Jackson
Starring: Victor Moore (who also wrote it!)
Writer/star Victor Moore is Jimmy Fox, an actor who has joined a Vermont stage company. Another Mr. Fox, Reverend John, is headed to the same Vermont town by train… and when both men arrive, there's a great mix-up of identities. Moore's writing is very clever, featuring not slapstick alone but very dark comedy as well. This is particularly true in the opening of the short, which has Jimmy Fox contemplating suicide before he gets the Vermont job offer! Having only seen Moore's later work previously, I was impressed with The Wrong Mr. Fox.
Mr. Flip (1909)
Directed by: "Broncho Billy" Anderson
Starring: Ben Turpin
Run time: 4 minutes
One of the earliest films in this set, Mr. Flip was produced by Essanay Studios. Ben Turpin stars, and his character is reportedly the first man to ever be slapped in the face with a pie for comedic effect. This is a simple comedy of rejection, with Turpin's character constantly flirting with and getting turned down by women. Simple isn't bad, though. A whole lot of funny is packed into this four minutes of film.
Alkali Ike's Auto (1911)
Starring: Augustus Carney
Essanay Studios strikes again with this very popular short, which was re-released two years after its initial 1911 release by popular demand. The plot involves the familiar tale of two men fighting over the same woman. The two men try to out-do each other by inviting her on different dates — first a horse ride, then a carriage ride, and finally an ill-fated automobile ride. The three actors involved in this love triangle — Augustus Carney, Harry Todd and Margaret Joslin — are all incredibly funny, Carney in particular.
Fox Trot Finesse (1915)
Directed by: Maurice Morris
Starring: Sidney Drew
Sidney Drew and his wife star in this dance craze comedy. Mrs. Drew, the introduction to this film states, often wrote the shorts that the pair appeared in. Though she didn't write this one, she was obviously a pioneering female comedian! This is a fun little film, with a dance-phobic husband faking an injury to get out of having to learn the fox trot, until his lie comes back to bite him. It's a pretty good satire of fads and collective obsessions.
A Cure for Pokeritis (1912)
Directed by: Laurence Trimble
Starring: John Bunny
An interesting tidbit from the textual intro to this film: star John Bunny's acting process was similar to the now-famous Method, and he is quoted as saying "If you can manage to be the character you're impersonating, feel it so thoroughly that you transform yourself for the moment, your actions will tell more than you realize." Ahead of his time, this one! Here he appears as a man whose wife is trying to break him of a bad gambling habit. Bunny is very funny here, but many scenes are stolen by Flora Finch in the role of his scheming wife.
Be My Wife (1921)
Directed by: Max Linder
Starring: Max Linder (Triple threat alert: He wrote it, too!)
This story is all too familiar to modern audiences: Boy and girl are in love. An authoritative family member of girl disapproves and attempts to sabotage the relationship. Boy tries his darnedest to win over his lady-friend's family. Even in the silent era it was a fairly common plot (see: A Sailor-Made Man, also released in 1921). This one's set apart by the multi-talented Max Linder (aka Gabriel-Maximilien Leuvielle), who the Slapstick Encyclopedia notes as "the first world-famous film comedian." His talents for writing, acting and directing are all very apparent here. There are a number of great gags here, and a super-adorable puppy, and a classic chase sequence.
A Natural Born Gambler (1916)
Directed by: Bert Williams
Starring: Bert Williams (Another triple threat! Writer, director, star!)
An here, we have our first incredibly non-PC film in the bunch — many heavily made-up actors, playing highly stereotypical characters. This film is not one that should be dismissed, though, as it is historically significant. Bert Williams, the West Indian star/filmmaker of A Natural Born Gambler, was given complete creative control of his films beginning in 1915. He produced, starred in, wrote AND directed them.

5 thoughts on "Slapstick Encyclopedia, Volume 1: In the Beginning"
This looks like an incredible set. I didn't know this was available.
And these films look terrific! I love the screen cap re: one donut for every hundred miles.
I enjoyed the majority of the films in the set and am really happy that I bought it. For only $10, it's unbeatable. A great way to discover silent films, or to continue enjoying them if you're already familiar with the ones included in the set. There are over 50 total, and I'll be covering them all as this series of posts continues. :)
Movies, Silently says:
Thanks for the great review of volume 1! Looking forward to reading the rest. The two stand-outs for me were the team of Mr and Mrs Drew and Bert Williams. His climactic solo poker game is one of the most brilliant comedy routines I have ever seen, silent or sound. I have a few of his vocal recordings too. A shame he died so young, he was a true pioneer.

Burial & Funerals
Is it Wrong to Separate Cremated Ashes?
When someone dies, their loved ones often face the difficult decision of what to do with their remains. One option is cremation, but what should be done with the ashes after they are cremated? Some people choose to keep them in an urn, while others choose to scatter them. But is it wrong to separate cremated ashes?
Many have wondered over the years whether it is indeed okay to divide cremation ashes into more than one urn. And the answer, of course, is, that answer varies according to the family's needs and values. Below we explore this question more closely.
There is no one right answer when it comes to dealing with cremated ashes, as the decision will depend on a variety of factors. Some people may feel that separating cremated ashes is disrespectful or even sacrilegious, while others may see it simply as a practical way to keep different parts of their loved one's remains together.
Factors to Consider Before Dividing a Loved One's Ashes
There are several factors to take into consideration before deciding whether to separate a loved one's ashes. When the human body is cremated, you will receive the ashes after cremation in a plastic or cardboard box.
Whether the loved one wanted their ashes separated or not
Did your loved one want their ashes separated between various friends and family members? If so, then these wishes should be taken into consideration and given the most weight before making a choice. It was the loved one's wish after all and that should be followed.
This applies even to the question of cremation itself. If a family member has expressed a desire to be cremated, then he or she should certainly be cremated. And in these cases, unless the loved one has specifically left instructions that his or her remains not be separated, it is considered appropriate to assume that dividing them among various urns meets with his or her approval.
If you divide ashes will it upset close family members or friends?
Some individuals do not like the idea of the loved one's cremated remains being divided. It's important to take other family members who were close to the deceased into account before making a decision.
Any religious or cultural beliefs that may dictate what should be done with the ashes
Except for, perhaps, obscure sects of minor religions, the question of whether cremated remains should be divided among several urns or keepsakes is mostly in line with a religion's view of cremation in general.
Generally speaking, Catechism, Jewish and Muslim traditions speak not for cremation in general and, therefore, would certainly also frown upon the practice of dividing ashes.
Meanwhile, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions strongly encourage cremation in most cases and generally have no stipulations about how ashes are stored and/or dispersed.
Christianity is almost entirely silent on the subject of cremation. The question of dividing ashes would, like cremation itself, be a matter of following the deceased's or the family's personal preferences, which it should be; this decision should be a personal preference and not be ordered by any religion.
The rule of thumb to follow in this case is this: if a religion allows cremation, it is almost always indifferent to how the ashes are handled. Dividing them among several urns is just as acceptable as storing them in a single container or scattering them over one or more spots.
What do Laws say about Dividing the Cremation Ashes?
Laws are entirely silent on this question as well, leaving the decision entirely to the family or to a deceased's person's wishes.
Other than the occasional intervention by courts when families cannot agree about how ashes should be stored and/or dispersed, no federal, state or municipal government has jurisdiction on this question, and, by and large, none have ever attempted to influence the public's opinion on this matter.
Different Ways to Divide the Ashes of a Lost Loved
Cremation is becoming increasingly popular as an option when a person dies. And with that, there are a lot of ways to store, scatter, and split ashes into a beautiful piece of art.
While a crematorium or funeral director will provide to a departed person's family rather stylish temporary containers for cremation remains, most families choose to transfer those ashes into a personally selected cremation urn
Cremation urns are containers that hold the ashes of a cremated person. There are many different types of urns – from traditional wood, glass, or even ceramic urns. Urns also come in a variety of different shapes and sizes to handle any body weight.
Many people who divide ashes will purchase small keepsake urns. Each small urn can then be given to a family member or a friend with a small portion of cremated remains inside. However, this is just one of many choices you have available.
Cremation jewelry comes in two forms. The most common form is a small cremation necklace that has a small hollowed-out charm that allows you to put a small amount of the cremated remains inside. You can then wear or display the jewelry.
The other form of cremation jewelry is made from the ashes of a loved one. Our glass cremation jewelry is one example of beautiful jewelry that is made from your loved one's ashes. You send in the ashes to the artist and they glass blow them into the piece of art. It's a true one-of-a-kind way to remember that special someone.
Cremation diamonds are a more recent trend in the memorialization of a loved one. They are created when the ashes of a cremated person are mixed with a resin and then turned into diamonds.
These diamonds can then be given to family members as a way to keep the loved one close by. Or, they can be used to create a piece of jewelry. For example, you could have a ring, earrings, a bracelet, or a necklace made with cremation diamonds to always have a reminder with you.
Scattering urns are a popular choice for those who want to spread the ashes of a loved one. There are many different types of scattering urns available, including traditional ceramic urns, glass scattering pots, and biodegradable bamboo urns.
These urns typically have a small hole at the bottom that allows you to easily disperse the ashes in a variety of different locations. Some people may choose to scatter the cremated remains on land, while others may scatter them in the ocean or at a specific location that was meaningful to their loved one.
Glass Blown Art
Another option is to turn the ashes into beautiful glass-blown art. From glass cremation sculptures to smaller glass cremation weights, there are wonderful choices to memorialize a loved one in a truly unique way.
Or, you can celebrate your loved one in a beautiful work of cremation art. In this option, a loved one's ashes are mixed with paint and then painted into a masterpiece by an artist.
How do you scatter ashes?
There are many different ways to scatter ashes. You can scatter them on land, in the ocean, or at a specific location that was meaningful to your loved one.
Can you bury ashes?
Some people choose to bury ashes, while others choose to keep them in an urn. It is important to check with your local cemetery to see if they allow the burial of ashes.
How do you divide ashes?
How can I keep ashes?
There are many different options for keeping ashes. Some people choose to bury them, while others may scatter them or keep them in an urn. You can also choose to turn the ashes into cremation jewelry, a cremation diamond, or glass-blown art.
Is scattering of ashes legal?
Yes, scattering of ashes is legal in most places. However, it is important to check with your local cemetery or crematorium to see if there are any restrictions in your area.
Is it a sin to separate ashes?
No, it is not a sin to separate ashes. The Bible does not specifically mention cremation or the scattering of ashes, so there is no ruling on this matter. However, some people may have religious or spiritual beliefs that say cremation and the scattering of ashes are not acceptable.
Is it disrespectful to open an urn?
No, it is not disrespectful to open an urn. Urns are typically only opened after the death of the person whose ashes are inside. However, some families may choose to open the urn at other times or allow other people to view the ashes.
Is it a sin to keep ashes at home?
There is no sin in keeping ashes at home. Cremation and the scattering of ashes are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, so there is no ruling on this matter.
Here to help you through the loss of a loved one

Phnom Penh Post - Half-marathon set to run over participation record
Half-marathon set to run over participation record
H S Manjunath | Publication date 04 June 2014 | 08:52 ICT
Runners jostle at the start of the 2012 Phnom Penh International Half Marathon. This year's race will be held on June 15.
H S Manjunath
The fourth edition of the Phnom Penh International Half Marathon, which marks the confluence of three special occasions – Queen Mother Norodom Monineath's birthday celebrations, the World Environment Day and the International Olympic Day – is expected to touch a new high in participation numbers this year.
Set to take off on Sunday, June 15, from its start and finish point in front of the Royal Palace, the 21km run and all other supporting attractions will help raise funds for charity causes including the Kantha Bopha Children's Hospital and families of landmine victims.
For the first time in three years, the participants will run a perfect half-marathon course thanks to the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) standardisation of measurements in sync with similar events in other parts of the world.
AIMS, a member-based organisation of 350 of the world's distance races in 100 countries and territories, is actively involved in marking out the route for Cambodia's first-ever full marathon to be run in the middle of August around the famous Angkor Wat Temple complex.
"I am happy that AIMS has done a very good job in accurately marking the distances this year. In the last two runs we used approximates," National Olympic Committee of Cambodia secretary-general Vath Chamroeun told the Post yesterday.
"So far there have been close to 1,000 registrations and on the day of the event we expect these figures to be any where between 4,500 and 5,000 in various categories.
"The Angkor Wat Half Marathon in December last year touched an all-time record and the Sihanoukville Half Marathon in March this year also saw an increase in participation numbers.
I expect this growth trend to continue as excitement builds up towards our first full marathon in August," the secretary added.
Like last year, the organisers will open a registration booth in front of the Royal Palace to facilitate both foreigners and locals to go through a smooth entry process for the Phnom Penh event.
The booth will open on June 8 and will operate from morning to evening up until the day before the event, handing out to the entrants T-shirts along with track numbers in accordance with the category they choose to run.
To register, contact Cambodia Events or the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia on 023 213 525, 016 355 005 or 023215869, or email either [email protected] or [email protected].

This Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding is the perfect Fall "dessert for breakfast" type of recipe. It is nice and sweet but still good for you, lightly spiced with Pumpkin Spice. You can whip it up the night before and have it ready to go the next day. Chia seeds are a great source of protein, fibre, and amino-acids - it is one of the best super foods!
In a bowl add the coconut milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, pumpkin spice, sweetener, and sea salt together, and whisk vigorously for a minute. Leave it in the fridge for 20 minutes or so and take out and give it another vigorous whisk. Put it back to the fridge for 2 hours or longer. The whisking is to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. If you don't have time, you don't have to whisk it a second time. If you prefer your pudding less solid, add a little more almond milk or water. Top it off toppings and enjoy!

Never-before-seen malware is nuking data in Russia's courts and mayors' offices
Mayors' offices and courts in Russia are under attack by never-before-seen malware that poses as ransomware but is actually a wiper that permanently destroys...
Mayors' offices and courts in Russia are under attack by never-before-seen malware that poses as ransomware but is actually a wiper that permanently destroys data on an infected system, according to security company Kaspersky and the Izvestia news service.
Kaspersky researchers have named the wiper CryWiper, a nod to the extension .cry that gets appended to destroyed files. Kaspersky says its team has seen the malware launch "pinpoint attacks" on targets in Russia. Izvestia, meanwhile, reported that the targets are Russian mayors' offices and courts. Additional details, including how many organizations have been hit and whether the malware successfully wiped data, weren't immediately known.
Wiper malware has grown increasingly common over the past decade. In 2012, a wiper known as Shamoon wreaked havoc on Saudi Arabia's Saudi Aramco and Qatar's RasGas. Four years later, a new variant of Shamoon returned and struck multiple organizations in Saudi Arabia. In 2017, self-replicating malware dubbed NotPetya spread across the globe in a matter of hours and caused an estimated $10 billion in damage. In the past year, a flurry of new wipers appeared. They include DoubleZero, IsaacWiper, HermeticWiper, CaddyWiper, WhisperGate, AcidRain, Industroyer2, and RuRansom.
Kaspersky said it discovered the attack attempts by CryWiper in the last few months. After infecting a target, the malware left a note demanding, according to Izvestia, 0.5 bitcoin and including a wallet address where the payment could be made.
"After examining a sample of malware, we found out that this Trojan, although it masquerades as a ransomware and extorts money from the victim for 'decrypting' data, does not actually encrypt, but purposefully destroys data in the affected system," Kaspersky's report stated. "Moreover, an analysis of the Trojan's program code showed that this was not a developer's mistake, but his original intention."
CryWiper bears some resemblance to IsaacWiper, which targeted organizations in Ukraine. Both wipers use the same algorithm for generating pseudo-random numbers that go on to corrupt targeted files by overwriting the data inside of them. The name of the algorithm is the Mersenne Vortex PRNG. The algorithm is rarely used, so the commonality stuck out.
CryWiper shares a separate commonality with ransomware families known as Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Xorist and Trojan-Ransom.MSIL.Agent. Specifically, the email address in the ransom note of all three is the same.
The CryWiper sample Kaspersky analyzed is a 64-bit executable file for Windows. It was written in C++ and compiled using the MinGW-w64 toolkit and the GCC compiler. That's an unusual choice since it's more common for malware written in C++ to use Microsoft's Visual Studio. One possible reason for this choice is that it gives the developers the option of porting their code to Linux. Given the number of specific calls CryWiper makes to Windows programming interfaces, this reason seems unlikely. The more likely reason is that the developer writing the code was using a non-Windows device.
Successful wiper attacks often take advantage of poor network security. Kaspersky advised network engineers to take precautions by using:
Behavioral file analysis security solutions for endpoint protection.
Managed detection and response and security operation center that allow for timely detection of an intrusion and take action to respond.
Dynamic analysis of mail attachments and blocking of malicious files and URLs. This will make email attacks, one of the most common vectors, more difficult.
Conducting regular penetration testing and RedTeam projects. This will help to identify vulnerabilities in the organization's infrastructure, protect them, and thereby significantly reduce the attack surface for intruders.
Threat data monitoring. To detect and block malicious activity in a timely manner, it is necessary to have up-to-date information about the tactics, tools, and infrastructure of intruders.
Given Russia's invasion of Ukraine and other geopolitical conflicts raging around the globe, the pace of wiper malware isn't likely to slow in the coming months.
"In many cases, wiper and ransomware incidents are caused by insufficient network security, and it is the strengthening of protection that should be paid attention to," Friday's Kaspersky report stated. "We assume that the number of cyberattacks, including those using wipers, will grow, largely due to the unstable situation in the world."

The work was commissioned by Dublin Docklands Development Board to disguise a gas transfer outlet. The 'box' containing the gas apparatus is covered with flock and sequins, then a narrow corridor, with a glazed vitrine built around the whole. The glass is striped horizontally with a mix of dichroic film and translucent film. There are LED spotlights addressing the sequins from the glass, which move in air currents as wind passes through the open gridded floor. During the day the sun enters and illuminates the sequins and films, whilst at night the spots take over creating an engaging variety of light play which varies according to wind speed.

Peter H. Clark Montessori Junior High and High School, usually referred to as Clark Montessori, is a junior and senior high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The school had around 700 students in January 2018. It is in the Hyde Park–area woods, on the former estate of Ohio Governor Myers Y. Cooper (1929–1931), with trails in its "backyard". Recently completed in these woods is a small, ancient-Greek–style amphitheatre. The school had been located in its temporary home in Winton Terrace from the 2007/2008 school year until the 2011/2012 School  year. However, Clark has been back into its permanent home on Erie Avenue, since 2012.

Clark is a part of the Cincinnati Public Schools. Founded in 1994 as a seventh-grade extension of existing district Montessori elementary schools, Clark expanded with its first class to become a full junior and senior high school by the 1999–2000 school year, making it the first public Montessori high school in the United States. Although it has no entrance exam, 99.5% of Clark seniors have graduated and 96.5% of graduates attended post-secondary education. Additionally, Clark is racially and socio-economically diverse—30-51% of students are in their family's first generation to attend college, and 33% receive free or subsidised lunch.

Each student must complete over 200 community service hours in order to receive a Clark diploma. These hours may be completed with any government recognized non-profit organization and previous stewardship projects include working with the Ohio State School for the Blind and Habitat for Humanity. Four years of core classes at the honors level are required. An important aspect that outlines Clark Montessori's curriculum is senior project. In order to graduate, each senior is required to complete a year-long research project based on a question of their choice. This project entails a research paper, a physical product based on the students' papers, and a detailed presentation and speech prepared for "senior project night" at the end of the year. In the four years of high school, students participate in eight two-week field studies referred to as intersessions.

The school has been given a rating of "effective" by Cincinnati Public Schools, but has been given many higher honors by education magazines and was in the top three school selected in Barack Obama's 2010 Race to the Top.

A record number of Dalmatian pelicans nest in the Peschina swamp
Mar 15, 2021 | News
A record number of Dalmatian pelicans nest on the two wooden platforms in the Peschina swamp on the Persin Island. This was established during the regular monitoring by the experts from the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) and the Persina Nature Park Directorate. On March 12, the number of nesting pairs of Dalmatian pelicans in the Peschina swamp was 64, which is an absolute record compared to previous years.
In 2016, a new breeding colony of the species was formed in Bulgaria for the first time. Then 7 pairs had successfully occupied one of the wooden platforms in the Peschina swamp. In 2017 there were 4 pairs, in 2018 – 9, in 2019 – 24, and in 2020 – 22. We remind you that last year 8 pairs of Dalmatian pelicans successfully raised their young on another wooden platform, located in the Dead Marsh, which is also part of the Maintained Reserve "Persian Swamps".
Now, the Dalmatian pelicans are incubating, and in the first half of April, we expect the first hatchlings.

In order to monitor the pelicans on Persin Island, the experts also filmed the platforms with the help of a drone. This is an innovative method used in monitoring nesting colonies of the species mainly in Greece (Prespa Lake) and in the Danube Delta region of Romania, where experts do not have direct visibility to all nesting pairs. Thanks to the drone shots, the team was able to gather detailed and accurate information about the number of nesting Dalmatian pelicans in the Peschina swamp. In the coming days, the Dead Marsh will also be monitored.
When filming with a drone, it is very important that the birds are not disturbed. Therefore, it is performed only by experts in the species – at a minimum height of 40 meters and for a very short period of a few seconds.
The conservation activities of the Dalmatian Pelican are carried out in the framework of the "Pelican Way of LIFE" project (LIFE18/NAT/NL/000716), funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Union and with the assistance of the Whitley Fund for Nature.

Honley man held in drugs swoops
A HONLEY man was one of seven people held in a series of police drugs raids in West Yorkshire.
The raids yesterday were part of Operation Grassland, which has so far seen more than 60 arrests.
Police are also investigating two suspected cannabis farms in the Honley area.
A quantity of cannabis plants and hydroponics growing equipment were seized.
The 34-year-old man is being questioned in relation to the production and supply of a controlled drug.
Suspected drug dealers in central and rural Wakefield, Normanton, Featherstone and Rothwell were also targeted in the major operation.
The latest phase of Operation Grassland was launched yesterday morning by Wakefield District Police Division following information from the local community about suspected drug dealing.
Six men and one woman were arrested in connection with the production of cannabis and remain in custody at this time.
Items seized as part of the house searches include drugs, drugs paraphernalia, cash and vehicles including three vans, one camper van, two cars and four motorbikes.
Five cannabis farms were discovered.
Chief Supt Marc Callaghan, Divisional Commander, said:
"In June we arrested more than 60 suspected drug dealers in the latest phase of Operation Grassland and here we are again targeting more suspected criminals who blight the lives of people living in our communities by peddling drugs."

APL --- The Rice University IBM mainframe offered Kenneth Iverson's A Programming Language via Selectric typewriter-like terminals with a weird typeball. ^z with his fellow erstwhile physicists joyously misused it --- wasting huge amounts of interdepartmental funny-money by writing pseudo-DO loops and subroutine-laden code rather than getting into the spirit of the language and using efficient vector-algebraic constructions. A semester of lab projects (including such tasks as curve-fitting noisy data sets) expended thousands of make-believe dollars and brought harsh lectures from the responsible faculty members. The students reverted to punching cards of FORTRAN.
HPL --- Hewlett-Packard's early desktop computers came with this BASIC-like programming system, with custom features for driving HP peripherals. Besides helping his comrades and teachers solve their equations, ^z enjoyed doing graphs on the X-Y plotter of the Riemann zeta function and of the paths that light takes through various lenses and refractive media.
LISP --- This is in many ways the best language for thinking about algorithms and data structures. The SCHEME dialect of LISP also forms the underpinnings of one of the best textbooks ever written: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Hal Abelson and Gerry Sussman. The more introductory Simply SCHEME by Matthew Wright and Brian Harvey is also superb. Alas, ^z never found much practical to do with LISP, but by studying it he learned a lot of computer science.
C --- Here is a practical language, not attractive in an intellectual way (unless clarity and efficiency are attractive) but great for getting a job done. The splendid Kernighan and Ritchie book The C Programming Language together with reasonably-priced commercial implementations made C a win for many serious tasks, including the rewriting by ^z of his free-text IR code from FORTH to a more transportable and faster-running form.

Q: Why hbase even though hdfs is present Why is hadoop using hbase even though hdfs is available for storage?
We can also store table data as blocks in hdfs.
Is the data stored in hbase? If so, then role will hdfs serve?

A: HDFS is a distributed file system that is well suited for storing large files. It's designed to support batch processing of data but doesn't provide fast individual record lookups.
HBase is built on top of HDFS ,actually data gets store on HDFS and is designed to provide access to single rows of data in large tables.
Overall, the differences between HDFS and HBase are
HDFS –
Is suited for High Latency operations batch processing
Data is primarily accessed through MapReduce
Is designed for batch processing and hence doesn't have a concept of random reads/writes

HBase –
Is built for Low Latency operations
Provides access to single rows from billions of records
Data is accessed through shell commands, Client APIs in Java, REST, Avro or Thrift

A: Hadoop can use HDFS as well as HBase. You need to see difference between filesystem (HDFS) and database (HBase) which offers many features compared to plain filesystem (e. g. random access to the data).
You will need the HDFS running in both cases, bacause HBase is built on top HDFS filesystem.

Well, despite myself, I seem to be on an organizational trip these days, and I was so excited for my Birthday Stampers' Dozen last night because one of the projects we completed was an organizer for your greeting cards - you know, the hundreds that you're making after being inspired by my blog! Ha, ha, ha! But seriously, as a Stampin' Up demonstrator, the cards I create and don't have a chance to send are starting to build up. I have a couple of 3 drawer trolleys that I have them organized in, but what is happening is that a family birthday will occur, and instead of looking through my already made cards for just the right one, I just make one instead and sometimes only in the nick of time!
It consists of a 1" binder with Fan Fare DSP adhered with sticky strip to the back and front covers and a separate strip of DSP down the spine. The front is decorated with some First Edition Specialty DSP and a label cut from 2 different Apothecary Accents framelits and stamped with the greeting from You're Amazing. The Feel Goods stamps decorated the First Edition DSP.
I punched some twin pocket folders (which I just happened to find in some coordinating colours) with a 3 hole punch and then I adhered the back of one cover to the front of another cover to make 12 pages, each with a pocket. I tried Snail for this, but there is quite a bit of stress on the pages, so redid them using Sticky Strip and they held together well.
With MDS2, I created and printed a calendar month for each page and these were attached with Snail. This way you can mark birthday dates on each month so you don't forget what you need! And you can store the cards you need for that month in the pockets. If you have a large extended family or a great deal of friends you might want to use a 2" binder for this. I also attached a self-stick folder tab with the month name written on it for each of finding the month you need.
If you want full details with dimensions, email me. Hope this idea helps you with your card organization.
Happy Stampin' and enjoy your weekend!
Love it! The binder looks cute to boot!
I have made something similar, but I used a perpetual calendar style so that I don't have to make up new calendar pages every year. I can just add new birthdays and anniversaries, etc to the already existing month. I just know that that would end up being 'another thing' to have to remember to do each year.
Great idea, Eunice. I actually did look for one, but was in a rush to finish and didn't find one right away on My Digital Studio. That would be a better way to go, definitely!

Naughty words are a federal offense
The following is a detailed account of how I was almost put into jail for a federal crime. My offense?
Saying "The F Word" in an airport.
After a wonderful week hanging out with all of my friends in Houston for John's wedding, I was pretty tired. Each night, my friends and I would socialize into the wee hours of the morning and each morning, we'd be up before noon to start all over again. It was a great week. Fast forward to Sunday, it was finally time to go back home to Seattle.
We left the hotel and had some breakfast. Although we knew it would be cutting things close, we stopped at an authentic country bar so that Elizabeth could have a drink there before we left for the airport. For some reason, visiting such a bar was a big goal for her while in Texas. I had a Coke while Greg, John and Elizabeth all had more interesting drinks. Ah, the joys of being the one driving the rental car.
Elizabeth's flight was leaving first, followed later by the Continental Airlines flight John and I were sharing. We left the bar with about 45 minutes to spare for our trip to the airport. Seeing as how it hadn't taken us more than 30 minutes to drive there all week, (I'd made three trips out there myself to pick up rental cars and friends), I figured we'd be fine. About a mile from the airport, we found ourselves in the middle of a huge traffic jam. Traffic had slowed to a crawl and eventually stopped.
After being parked on 59 South for awhile, we noticed trucks and SUVs driving off the freeway and across a ditch onto an access road on the side of the freeway. Up ahead, more cars were taking the freeway on-ramps in the wrong direction to reach this same access road. Eventually the cops came and attempted to direct this traffic nightmare. It turns out there was a huge wreck ahead that had stopped all lanes of traffic. A helicopter had landed right in the middle of the freeway, presumably to take people to the hospital. People were standing around outside of their cars watching the whole thing unfold because they couldn't drive anywhere. What a mess.
The 45 minutes we had reserved for the trip had come and gone, Elizabeth's flight was taking off in less than an hour. We somehow got her to the terminal just in time. After that, we were supposed to drop off our rental car...but I missed the rental car return exit. After a full revolution around the airport parkway, we finally found the exit again...and returned the car. It was now time to take the shuttle to my terminal and check in for my Continental Airlines flight.
This was where the real fun began.
The first line I got into turned out to be a line for people with no baggage to check. I had a bag to check, so I traveled to another line. No big deal, I had plenty of time.
I got into another line and stood there for a few moments before a line attendant closed it with a rope saying it was full. She directed me across the terminal to a third line. She pointed to her right...and I walked that way. As it turned out, there was no check in line that way....just a line for security and baggage check.
At this point, I was pretty frustrated. I had walked to three separate places and had been unable to check in at any of them. Several feet away, I see a young woman about my age wearing the Continental Airlines uniform. I walk up to her, still frustrated and say:
"I've just been to three different fucking lines and I can't check in at any of them. I just need to know where to check in. Can you help me?"
She looks at me, irritated and says: "I don't understand the language you're using. I'm not going to help you."
I say: "Seriously?"
She says: "You can go find someone else to ask. I don't understand your language."
I quickly realize I shouldn't have cursed in front of her, but I'm also not going to stand around and go through a big apology just so I can ask her the question. Still irritated, I say: "Well, try learning English. It's a pretty fucking common word." Then I walk away.
I roll my bags on back to the other side of the terminal and talk to the original line attendant who had sent me to the wrong place. I explain to her that I want to check in and mention that I have bags. She directs me to a 4th line, which turns out to be the right one. John shows up a few moments later and we wait.
While we're waiting, we talk about what has just happened. I mention that I know I was a jerk and I probably shouldn't have sworn in front of the lady, but I can't believe she just shut me down like that. She could have helped me, but all she did was make my experience with Continental Airlines just a little bit worse, all because I said a naughty word out of frustration.
We get closer to the front of the line when I see a man walking my way. He's a Continental representative of some sort and right next to him is the offended employee. Apparently, she'd decided that not helping me wasn't good enough and she needed to "tell on me" now. He asks me in an Australian accent if I will step out of line so we can talk. I oblige.
He says "We have a bit of a problem here".
"Yes we do". I say. "Your employee here was very rude to me and refused to help me simply because I used a word she didn't like."
He asks me what my side of the story is. I tell him that I didn't insult her or call her names, I'd just been to three separate lines and I was very frustrated. I explained that I used the "F-word" to describe that frustration. I emphasize that after getting sent to the wrong place three times by three different employees, all I wanted was some help. I emphasize that instead of giving me that help, she sent me away because I used a naughty word when speaking to her.
He informed me that I could be in big trouble here.
I asked why and told him that I wasn't aware it's against the law to use "the F word" in an airport in Texas, but if that's the case....I'll be sure to remember that for future reference. I believe I smiled after making that comment.
The man proceeded to tell me that this was no laughing matter and that I could be refused service or even taken to jail if I don't present myself in an acceptable manner. I said "Who determines what is acceptable?".
He says "I do."
I say: "Fine. How am I doing right now? Have I raised my voice to you? Have I called you names? No. I'm just a frustrated traveler who expressed that frustration to one of your employees and she sent me away because she didn't like my language. That's not good customer service and I'm understandably upset."
He tells me that I can be upset but reminds me again that I have to present myself in an acceptable manner.
I say: "I think I have."
He says: "You cursed at her"
I reply: "I acknowledge that, but I was frustrated. Look, if you have to kick me off the airplane for saying the F word in the terminal, I won't put up a fight. I've got a couple of lawyers on retainer and I'll be happy to sue your airline. I'll win, because last I checked...using the F word is still legal in this country. What I won't do is apologize. I admit I used that word, but I was upset. It's unfortunate that she was offended, but I'm not sorry for what I said. I was a frustrated customer and she should have helped me out. Instead, she sent me away. I'm not going to stand here and apologize because she has a problem with a word I used."
Next, I turned to the lady who has been standing there silent. I told her "If you would have told me you didn't appreciate my language and then helped me, I would have apologized to you and thanked you for your time. I didn't mean to offend you until after you sent me away. At that point, I think you deserved it. You certainly offended me."
She had nothing else to say and she wasn't going to get her apology, so at this point, he sends the offended lady away. Once she's gone, I add one final comment: "Look sir, now that she's gone, I'll tell you one more thing. When I walked up to her, she looked like a peer to me. If she was an older woman, or an older man...I probably wouldn't have used that sort of language. I didn't use that word to be rude to her, I was relating my frustration to her as I would to anyone else my own age. Had I known this lady had issues, I would have used a different word."
He reminds me that we're in the Bible belt. I tell him I understand, but that still doesn't mean I am required to censor myself. If she can't handle hearing naughty words, she certainly shouldn't be working customer service in an aiport. I suggest that perhaps a thicker skin is required for that job. I point out that I have many years of customer service under my belt and when someone is angry, you reply calmly and you help them. That response always calms them down. Refusing them service just escalates things.
Realizing his threats aren't going anywhere with me (and that I'm remaining perfectly calm during the conversation) he finally gives up on the lecture. Without warning, he changes gears and asks how he can help me. I say: "I want to check in".
He walks me to the front of a line, where I finally check in for my flight. He leaves and I turn my attention to the guy behind the counter, who is smirking after watching this whole conversation go down. He's clearly been enjoying watching this whole thing go down. I tell him "I'm having a wonderful gosh darn day.". The counter rep smiles again...and I get a seat in the exit row.
For the next hour, I'm on my best behavior. Despite my frustration with everything that has happened, I feel like they probably have security watching me or something...and I don't want to give them any excuse to think I'm not presenting myself in an acceptable manner.
I left the great state of Texas without further incident. When I arrived to Seattle, my bags weren't there waiting for me (turns out they were on the next flight in).
Well played Continental. Well played.
The bachelor party day
Yesterday morning after checking into my hotel, I had errands to do.
First chore was driving with John, John, Greg and Paul to pick up their tuxes at the Men's Wearhouse. I also bought a dress shirt (I somehow forgot to pack one of mine).
Next, I drove with Andrew, Peter and Justin to get some alcohol for the bachelor party bus. We spent well over 200 bucks between the three of us. After that, we went to the store, where I bought another 80 bucks worth of mixers plus some of those Chaser hangover pills. I figured both would come in handy.
Our next errand was a trip to the Houston airport to pick up Andrew B, then to the Sonic Drive Thru for some lunch. I had a tasty burger and a root beer float. After that it was back to the hotel, where we all changed and got ready for the bachelor party bus to arrive.
The bus arrived around 9pm, picked us up for an evening of great fun. I'd go into that....but what happens on the bus, stays on the bus.
There are pictures though....
The Trip to Texas
Last night just after 5pm, I was still in the Seattle airport. 5 hours earlier, I was in the middle of our yearly team summit at work, watching Power Point presentations. 6 hours ago, I was in a bar in Houston.
This has been a busy 24 hours.
My flight arrived in Houston last night at 11:59pm, Texas time. I called John and John to see where they were. They were in a bar near our hotel, playing pool. I caught a cab with a friendly guy who had 8 children. After he dropped me off, he came in hoping for a game of pool himself. I watched John M, Paul M, John S and Apom play 2 more games before it was time for us to head home. We dropped John off at his house and then drove back to the Best Western where I brought my stuff up to John's room for a night. It was about 230am this morning.
I woke up around 730 this morning to some snoring. I slept for another hour and then got out of bed and onto my computer. I've checked email and surfed the net for a couple of hours, then decided to make an attempt at an early check in.
It was successful and I'm up in my own room now. Room 315.

Forensic Ecology: A new weapon in the forensic armoury
Popular science lecture by professors Patricia E.J. Wiltshire and David L. Hawksworth CBE, from Britain.
Over the last 25 years or so, Forensic Ecology (Environmental Profiling) has proved to be a critical forensic tool in investigation of murder, rape, abduction, grand theft, and wildlife crime in the UK.
In particular, the use of botany, palynology (the study of pollen, plant, and other microscopic remains), mycology (study of fungi and their spores), and the analysis of particulates in soils and on vegetation, have been particularly useful in providing intelligence and probative evidence in serious crime.
Ecological knowledge is a powerful tool for (a) linking people, objects, and places, (b) search and location of hidden remains, and (c) estimating times of body deposition and death, and many other aspects which are important to criminal investigation.
Every place has a unique biological profile, traces of which can be picked up by anything that comes directly into contact with it. These traces are proxy indicators of that place and, if assemblages of these are identified and quantified accurately, the experienced forensic ecologist/palynologist can envisage the environment they represent.
Biological observation and measurement can give accurate estimates of post mortem interval, disturbances at crime scenes, offender pathways, and even demonstrate sequences of events involved with pre-, peri-, and post-criminal activity.
This talk will give some idea of how this can be achieved, and how samples obtained from soils, vegetation, clothing, footwear, vehicles, cadavers and, indeed, virtually any object, can offer forensic information that can also serve as admissible evidence in court.
Pat Wiltshire is a forensic ecologist, botanist and palynologist. Originally she worked with archaeologists and for the UK archaeological agency (English Heritage) on and around many excavations. Since moving into forensic palynology she has been consulted by police forces and industry in approaching 300 investigations spread throughout England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and abroad. She has been instrumental in helping solve some very high-profile crimes including the Soham murders.
David Hawksworth CBE is a British mycologist and lichenologist, formerly Director of the International Mycological Institute (Kew Gardens), he is currently with a professorship in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Madrid, Spain and a Scientific Associate of The Natural History Museum in London. He received a CBE in 1996 (Commander of the British Empire) and in 2002, he was honoured with an Acharius Medal by the International Association for Lichenology. He is also As of 2015 he is the Editor-in-Chief of the journals IMA Fungus and Biodiversity and Conservation.

Auckland, New Zealand - February 28, 2012: People walk across the road in Queen Street Auckland New Zealand.
Chart of the Week: Auckland grows more populous, and older
The Spinoff | Staff writers
To launch the new Figure.NZ feature on the Spinoff, here's how New Zealand's biggest city has increased in population, and how it is projected to increase further.
To completely disabuse readers of any impression that the Spinoff is Auckland-centric and fixated on the city's growth, we've chosen for the inaugural installment of our new collaboration with the fine people at Figure.NZ a chart that shows the growth of Auckland's population, historical and projected, and broken down by age.
The chart underpins the thinking of the Unitary Plan, and why it simply had to happen.
More? Here are some other fascinating charts in a similar vein.
The War for Auckland is a Spinoff pop-up section devoted to the 2016 Unitary Plan and local elections. To support our journalism, click here.

Turning tragedy and trash into business triumph: The Saia Latu story
Justin Latif
What to consider before fleeing Auckland for a small country town


What is a hypnotherapist? Quite simply, someone who is trained to combine hypnosis and therapy to help those with personal problems. If you choose hypnotherapy as a career you'll be helping people with issues such as panic attacks, stress, phobias, weight problems and unwanted habits such as nail biting or smoking.
Hypnotherapists are not doctors or psychologists and do not work with serious mental illness.
Who can work as a hypnotherapist?
Until December 2010 hypnotherapy was a completely unregulated profession in the UK. Since then it has been subject to voluntary self-regulation. This means that there are technically no restrictions on who can call themselves a hypnotherapist.
Despite this, the general public seems to be much more aware that they should be looking for therapists who are properly trained, insured and working within the ethical guidelines of a professional body such as the General Hypnotherapy Register.
The best way to achieve this is to undertake a course, such as this one, which is accredited by one or more of these professional bodies, and which is fully compliant with the latest Hypnotherapy Training Standards. Details of these can be found on the GHR website.
Almost all hypnotherapists are self-employed. Having said that it's possible to use hypnotherapy skills in many other careers: dentistry, midwifery, carer, social work, coaching and personal development support etc. Some psychiatrists and psychologists use hypnotherapy as part of their practice.
It is possible to work from home if you have suitable accommodation or you can lease a room in a therapy centre or office building.
Some hypnotherapists work full time, others part time, some run their practice alongside another job. In fact, it is recommended you keep your existing job while you get your therapy business up and running.
You will almost certainly need to offer some 'out of hours' provision such as evening or weekend appointments since many of your clients will need to arrange their appointments outside their working hours.
How much can I earn as a hypnotherapist?
Our recommendation is that you estimate your own potential earnings. Do a bit of research and find out what the most popular fee is in the area you want to practice (many therapists show their fees on their websites). Multiply the number of clients you want to see per week by that fee, or whatever you feel you'll want to charge, to find your average gross income (before expenses).
Are there too many therapists out there for me to compete?
We couldn't find any published figures about the number of people in the UK who visit hypnotherapists but if we expand that to look at Complementary Therapies as a whole, it becomes easier.
Whatmedicine.co.uk (May 2014) says that complementary and alternative medicine is the second largest growth industry in Europe, after IT.
According to google scholar, a search of peer-reviewed journal articles from 1st January 1996-11th March 2016 was performed over 9 databases and concluded that the public attitude towards hypnotherapy is generally positive.
If you're in business by yourself, as most hypnotherapists are, you will need to do everything from PR, web design and bookkeeping to cleaning the office!
Becoming self-employed can be a steep learning curve. If you've always been employed by someone else before you will need to be able to keep motivated and to develop business skills as well as your professional (hypnotherapy) ones. Income can vary from month to month depending on client numbers instead of being regular.
You will have to invest money in setting up your business (e.g. for insurance, professional body membership, website, leaflets) and it may not take off quickly, especially if you have never been self-employed before.
You may have to listen to problems you find distressing or difficult to hear and you may not be able to share much of your day (funny or sad) with family or friends because of confidentiality rules.
Hypnotherapy is a cheaper business to set up than many others, and overheads continue low: you don't need to invest in stock or much equipment, and you can work from home.
The cost and time involved in training is a big investment for most of our students, but it's still less than for many other professions.
Most clients pay you at each session, so there are very few problems with cash flow or bad debts, a big issue for many businesses.
You have freedom from the nine to five; no two days are ever the same; you control your own working hours, conditions and clients.
An amazing, satisfying and rewarding career.
