NY RAPPER HOOKZ MURDOCK PROVES HIMSELF TO BE A HIP-HOP HERO ON NEW PROJECT "THE ADVENTURES OF…"
Since Ghostface Killah first called himself Tony Starks (along with naming his classic debut Ironman), and MF DOOM donned the metal mask, some of rap's greatest characters have taken great influence from the world of comic books, and with his ambitious project The Adventures of…, New York MC Hookz Murdock becomes a hip-hop hero himself.
The project is described as an audio-graphic novel, and it would be hard to consider this hyperbole considering how strongly Hookz dedicates himself to the theme at large. A large portion of the tracks are titled after comic book characters, namely highlight Hal Jordan which features Hookz delivering a series of cleverly braggadocious bars referencing everything from the titular hero to Fetty Wap, over a beat that wouldn't sound out of place on a Special Herbs beat tape.
However, throughout the tape Hookz shows he has multiple powers, as he effortlessly shifts to a more somber tone on tracks like Frank's Paranoia, that carry cloudier, more-modern production and harsher lyrical topics without missing a step. On this project, Hookz shows himself to be a musical shape-shifter (or something of a mixtape Mystique), captivating listeners with varied lyrical topics and production, yet consistent quality. The Adventures of… is an engaging listen from top-to-bottom that marks Hookz as being well-deserving of a place in the Hip-Hop Hall of Justice.

Some people collect stamps, records, or rocks. Not Guillermo del Toro. The Mexican filmmaker—who's directed macabre fantasy films like The Devil's Backbone (2001) and Pan's Labyrinth (2006) as well as blockbusters like Pacific Rim (2013) and the Hellboy franchise—has, over the course of several decades, amassed an entire household's worth of eclectic (and slightly creepy) memorabilia. (Think props from horror movies, books about the occult, and lots of fake skulls.) He displays them in a suburban Los Angeles home that he calls Bleak House after the Charles Dickens series of the same name.
This summer, del Toro's fans will get to see some of these hair-raising keepsakes in person at the Los Angeles County Museum Of Art (LACMA), Remezcla reports. There, a new exhibit called Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters will showcase select items from Bleak House from July 31 through November 27. Later, the exhibit will travel to Minneapolis and Toronto.
According to a press release, "The exhibition explores del Toro's creative process by bringing together elements from his films, objects from his vast personal collections, drawings from his notebooks, and approximately 60 objects from LACMA's permanent collection. The diverse range of media—including sculpture, paintings, prints, photography, costumes, ancient artifacts, books, maquettes, and film—totals approximately 500 objects and reflects the broad scope of del Toro's inspirations."

I've made a little one of myself that painfully illustrates how far I have to go.
Don't worry about how far you have to go.....once you get "there" you will look back and realize, getting"there" was more fun! Always remember, in times of frustration....everyone WAS a beginner!
Wow! Thanks Rod. I'm feeling rather star-struck to have received a reply from you. And congratulations to Kerry on such an outstanding performance today, plus thanks to 2Traxx for letting us all know about it! Would love to have seen that!
For what it's worth, I found the books "Core Archery" and "Precision Archery" to be extremely helpful, especially on how to use your body's structure to best advantage and reducing stress and fatigue. Of course I've also had a lot of coaching from some great guys, Rod included (Hi there!) It's great to see some more gals get involved and just as great that the guys are welcoming us in!
Kerry, I didn't get to shoot today-trip to DC, but I heard you smoked everyone with your new Pronghorn-beat all the men too. I heard from a relaible source. good on ya, girl.
Thanks Skip and Todd. I blame it all on the new Pronghorn.
QuailTreker, taking videos of yourself I think is a very good way to learn! Boy did I learn a lot from those videos I just made. Things look completely different than they feel sometimes.
Sounds like you are very fired up! That is good! Just don't over do it to the point that you get frustrated, burned out, or worse, develop tendonitis.
Thanks again, tamure, for the good advice. How did you know? My shoulers are so sore from doing modified push-ups and planks, I can barely pick up a bow! I am honored and encouraged by all the great shooters, like yourself, who have replied to this string. I especially want to thank my good friend and highly accomplished archer, 'Gitnbetr', for suggesting I check out this website.
Nice thread for the ladies!!!!


BillTrim is amazing! I hate overpaying, but I am busy with newborn. All I did is upload all my bills to the site and they saved me $2459 on my bills.
I love this company. They helped me save almost $1600 this year. They only get paid when you save. There is no risk just five minutes of your time. Try it!
Reduced my bills by $1560 and got free HBO for 12 months without lifting a finger! They keep an eye on my bills throughout the year. I love BillTrim service.

Western Security Surplus' Stevens Helps Launch Berry Family 5K
On July 3, 2011, while returning to their home in Houston, Texas, from an annual family road trip to Colorado, the Berry family found themselves victims of a tragic, fatal car accident.
The Berry family's minivan, carrying parents Joshua and Robin Berry and their children — Peter, 9, Aaron, 8, and Willa, 6 — was hit head on by another vehicle that had crossed into their lane of traffic. The parents, Joshua and Robin Berry, were killed leaving the three children behind. While the children did survive the crash, both boys sustained serious spinal cord injuries and they are both paralyzed below the waist.
This story touched many lives in the Houston community and throughout the nation, including Western Security Surplus' President Kyle Stevens. But for Stevens, the tragedy was personal.
Stevens didn't know the Berry family but had many friends and family members who did.
"We have a lot of friends and family that were good friends with Josh and Robin Berry," Stevens said. "The story just struck home for me."
When Stevens was just 10 years old his family was also involved in a bad car accident that left his mother seriously injured.
"This could happen to any of us," Stevens said. "I have young kids too. And now two of the three Berry kids are seriously injured. I just felt obligated to try and do something; to raise awareness about the family and raise some funds for the kids."
Stevens, along with the help of many insurance industry partners, is doing just that.
Stevens helped organized a fundraising event — The Berry Family 5K, 1M Family Fun Run and 50 yard dash — to be held on March 24, 2012, at Granite Park in Plano, Texas.
"With the generous support of our sponsors, we expect that 100 percent of the proceeds generated by participants will be donated directly to the Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust in Houston, Texas, to support Peter, Aaron and Willa Berry during their ongoing recovery," Stevens said.
Stevens hopes to attract 1,000 competitors, walkers and supporters for the event. So far, the event organizers are well on their way to meeting that goal.
Stevens has already generated support from the insurance industry, including sponsorships from his own firm Western Security Surplus, Markel, Insurance Journal and even the employees of Nautilus Insurance Co.
The Berry children are in need of tremendous support to fund medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, psychological support and education, Steven says.
"Anyway that people can get involved helps us raise money," he says. Stevens wants to spread the word among the insurance industry. "There's a lot of people, especially in Texas, that might want to participate and/or volunteer, sponsor or get involved somehow."

Senate Republicans have introduced an amendment to a federal transportation bill that would speed the construction and operation of the controversial Keystone oil pipeline between Canada and the United States. Within hours, environmentalists generated hundreds of thousands of e-mails against the amendment.
The measure, sponsored by GOP Senators John Hoeven of North Dakota, Richard Lugar of Indiana and David Vitter of Louisiana, would eliminate the need for TransCanada to obtain a federal permit to cross the U.S.-Canada border, while allowing Nebraska unlimited time to develop an alternative route through its territory.
The Keystone XL pipeline would transport heavy crude from Canada's oil sands to Gulf Coast refineries. Proponents say it will create jobs and provide the United States with a reliable energy supply. Opponents argue that the energy-intensive extraction of crude in Canada will accelerate climate change, and they worry that a spill could jeopardize sensitive habitat.

Introv Blog: What is Customer Relationship Management?
CRM (a.k.a. Customer Relationship Management), is a buzzword that's been around for a while, and where I lack in the skill of blogging, I make up for it with my know-how in CRM. I know CRM. I live and breathe it. So, let's cut to the chase shall we?
CRM has been a hot topic for several years, as companies are increasingly looking to build more meaningful relationships with their customers. Why? because it yields higher business growth. With the right CRM system in place, you can build on these relationships, and you can free yourself from all distraction and processes that can come with managing your customer data manually. What's more, the beauty of CRM is that it can be applied to all businesses, in any sector or industry, regardless of its size, leaving you to focus on your core business goals – your customers.
It can be used to help businesses become more scalable thus enabling businesses to work smarter. CRM can nurture your customer data, in turn helping you understand the data better, and help make the most out of it.
To implement a CRM without a strategy would be like trying to get a set of gears to run without coherence. These gears are the business objectives and goals of a company. Defining a proper CRM strategy will help align action or execution across teams to achieve the overall strategic objectives of the company. So the first step is to define the ultimate goal and destination, which forms the basis of scope of your requirements and then your business will benefit from the CRM activity with a measurable goal.
Failing to do so will lead to loss of direction to the whole CRM execution and result in confusion and resistance within the company. For companies who lack of such experience, they may turn to external consultancies to help compile the full CRM strategy.
It's important to make sure everybody is 'singing from the same hymn sheet', and management is the best starting point to drive this culture.
We will share more about these practices in our future blogs.
"In cases we have reviewed, sales increases arising from advanced marketing and sales information technology have ranged from 10% to more than 30%, and investment returns have often exceeded 100%".
There are plenty of options available in the marketplace, so it is important that companies conduct their due diligence carefully. Compare and look for a system that contains common CRM modules, i.e. sales, service and marketing. And last but not least, the system you choose should be flexible enough to adapt to changes, given that technology is evolving faster than ever, thus this will also impact the overall customer experience you deliver.

Q: Is changing default display property a good practice? TL;DR Is it a bad practice to change default display property in my CSS?
Issue
Recently, in our project we had to position 2 header tags so they would look like one. They had the same font size and similar styling so the only issue was how to place one next to another. We had 2 different ideas on that and it le do a discussion on whether or not is a good practice to change default display property
So, our very basic code

Header:

my header

The outcome we would like to have:

Header: my header

Note:
The code needs to consists of 2 different headings because on mobile version we want to display them in in separate lines (so leaving default display: block).
Approach #1: Use display: inline
This is pretty stright forward. Block elements became inline so they are positioned in the same line. The disadvantage of this approach is that default display properties of both h1 and h2 were changed.
Approach #2: Use float
H1 can be positioned on the left using float: left property. This approach leaves the default display property intact, but will requires some hacks if the .container is not long enough to fit both headers in single line.
The question
It all leads to a simple question: Is it a bad practice to change the default display property of HTML elements? Is it breaking the standard and should be avoided if possible? Or is it our bread and butter and it does not really matter, as long as code is semantically correct (so headers are placed in h1, articles are placed in article etc...)

A:
tl;dr is it a bad practice to change default display property in my CSS?

No. As expressed by W3C themselves; HTML conveys meaning, not presentation.
As an HTML author, it's your job to structure a page so that every section of the page carries the intended semantics as described by the documentation, so that software (browsers, screen readers, robots...) can correctly interpret your content.
As a CSS author, it's your job to alter the default styling of correct markup to present it the way you want to. This includes changing the default display properties just as much as changing the default color.
Any software can, however, decide that certain usage of CSS properties changes the way they interpret your page. For instance, a search engine could decide that text that has the same color as their parent's background should carry no weight for their ranking system.
In regards to subheadings, it's considered incorrect to markup a subheading with an <hX> element. What you should do is to decide on one <hX> element, wrap it in a  and wrap subheading-type text in
,  or similar.
The following is an example of proper subheadings, taken from the W3C documentation:

HTML 5.1 Nightly

A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML

Editor's Draft 9 May 2013

Note that there's a discrepancy between the W3C specification and the WHATWG specification where the latter uses the <hgroup> element for this specific purpose, while the former has deprecated it. I personally go with W3C's example, but most software will still understand hgroup, likely for many, many years to come, if you prefer the WHATWG approach. In fact, some argue that WHATWG should be followed over W3C when the specs differ.
In your particular example, however, I'm not sure why you chose to split the
 into two elements in the first place. If what you marked up as an
 is actually supposed to be a generic "label" for the heading, then it should probably be considered a subheading instead. If you need to split it for styling purposes, wrap the two parts of text in  as such:

  Header:
  my header

A:
tl;dr is it a bad practice to change default display property in my CSS?

Its a good practice  but choose carefully when to use it because it can cause some critical structure mistakes.
Why is it a good practice
The display property is open for changes. It makes HTML simple and generic. HTML elements come with a default display value that match the general behavior - what you would usually want. But they dont have to be kept and manipulated around to imitate another display property. Think about
 for example. Obviously most of the times you want it to have display: block;, but display: flex; is much more suitable once in a while.
Lets look at a really common example of lists.
 comes with the display property of list-item that breaks the lines for every new item.

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

But horizontal lists are very common too. So why there is no special element for horizontal list items? Writing a special element for every common display behavior adds complexity. Instead, the convention, as also suggested by W3C is to set the
 display property to inline.

ul li {
  display:inline;
}

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

display: inline-block; as an alternative to float
float has been used massively in page layout for many years. The problem is that it wasnt created for this task and was originally designed to wrap text around elements. A well-known float issue is that non floated elements dont recognize floated children because they are being removed from the normal flow of the document. You also cannot centrally float an element. you are limited to left or right floats only.
display is much more suitable for layout many times. display: inline-block; tells browsers to place that element inline, but to treat it as though it were a block level element. This means that we can use inline-block instead of floats to have a series of elements side by side. It is more intuitive and eliminates floats

 which is an additional non semantic element in your HTML.
Floats are useful when there is a need to float an element so that other page content flows around it. But there is no need to always press them into the service of a complicated layout.
Things to avoid when changing display
When you change the display property remember:

Setting the display property of an element only changes how the element is displayed, NOT what kind of element it is.

 test case:
In HTML early versions  is considered an inline-level element and
 is block-level. Inline-level elements cannot have block-level elements inside them. Giving the  a display:block; doesn't change his category. It is still an inline-level element, and still cannot have
 inside.
HTML5 introduced content models. Each HTML element has a content model: a description of the element's expected contents. An HTML element must have contents that match the requirements described in the element's content model.  can contain only phrasing content. It means that still you cannot nest a
 (flow content) inside a . Giving  a display:block; still doesn't change it.
Avoid:
span {
  display:block;
}

    Still Illegal!

In conclusion, changing the default display property is certainly our bread and butter. Remember that it only changes how the element is displayed, NOT what kind of element it is and use it correctly.
Now about the original two heading issue:
With respect to the comments:

Let's assume for the sake of the question, that we need to have two
  headings. Or let's forget about the headings for the time being. - by the author

And also to the comment:

This question is not about resetting the display value globally. Using
  selectors to target only the specific elements is implied. The
  question is what we should do with these elements once selected. - by the person who set the bounty

Two headings side by side not only to handle mobile layout changes, can be done in many ways. The original example is simple and correct so its actually a good way.

h1, h2 {
  display: inline;
}

Header:

my header

It follows HTML rules and doesnt require any additional hacks.

A: Sure changing the default behaviour is redundant and even can hit performance. As a subjective solution, would recommend to use flex (but i'm not sure about performance of it, altho you can google it), it's broadly supported, and doesn't change any element css properties, it's just a layout thing, check this out

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: baseline;
}
.container.mobile {
  flex-direction: row;
}
web

Header:

my header

mobile

Header:

my header

Notice that h1 styles stay the same

A: Answering your main question:

tl;dr is it a bad practice to change default display property in my CSS?

NO

WHY?
A: Because it is all about semantics

Elements, attributes, and attribute values in HTML are defined (by
  this specification) to have certain meanings (semantics). For example,
  the ol element represents an ordered list, and the lang attribute
  represents the language of the content.
These definitions allow HTML processors, such as Web browsers or
  search engines, to present and use documents and applications in a
  wide variety of contexts that the author might not have considered.

So, in your case if you really need to have 2 headings semantically then you can change their styles, including the display property.
However If you don't need to have 2 headings semantically, but only for purely cosmetics/design (responsive code), then you are doing it incorrectly.
Look at this example:

Welcome to my page

I like cars and lorries and have a big Jeep!

Where I live

I live in a small hut on a mountain!

Because HTML conveys meaning, rather than presentation, the same page
  can also be used by a small browser on a mobile phone, without any
  change to the page. Instead of headings being in large letters as on
  the desktop, for example, the browser on the mobile phone might use
  the same size text for the whole the page, but with the headings in
  bold.
This example has focused on headings, but the same principle applies
  to all of the semantics in HTML.

** Emphasis in the quote above is mine **
P.S - Remember that headings h1–h6 must not be used to markup subheadings (or subtitles),  unless  they are supposed to be the heading for a new section or subsection.

With all this above in mind, here is a few (good) approaches:
If you're doing the two headings purely for design then:

*

*add a span inside of the h1, using a media query either using mobile first approach (min-width) or the non-mobile approach (max-width).

PROs - easily manageable through CSS, changing only properties.
CONs - adding extra HTML markup, using media queries as well.

h1 {
  /* demo only */
  background: red;
  margin:0
}
@media (max-width: 640px) {
  span {
    display: block
  }
}

Header: my header

If you need to use the two headings semantically then:

*

*use flexbox layout.

PROs - no need to add extra HTML markup or the use of media queries, being the most flexible currently in CSS (basically the cons from option above mentioned).
CONs - IE10 and below has partial or none support, Can I use flexbox ?  (fallback for IE10 and below would be CSS TABLES)

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  align-items: center;
  /*demo only*/
  background: red;
}

h1,
h2 {
  /*demo only*/
  margin: 0;
}

h2 {
  /*640px will be flex-basis value - can be changed as prefered */
  flex: 0 640px;
}

Header:

my header

*W3C specs - 3.2.1 Semantics

*W3C specs - 4.12.1 Subheadings, subtitles, alternative titles and taglines

A: Changing default css properties is not a good idea, and should be avoided to prevent unwanted shortcomings in your markup. Instead, you should give "id" or better "class" to all html elements you want to customize and do the styling for those.
Besides, using css like "h1", "div" etc. is the slowest way as the engine try to find all those elements in the page.
In your example, it doesnt matter to use display or float as long as you give your h1 elements a css class.
Also, using correct html elements for better semantics can be useful for things such as SEO etc.

Q & A

It all leads to a simple question: Is it a bad practice to change the default display property of HTML elements?

No, not at all. Matter of fact it's a very common practice of web developers (myself included), to alter not only properties of an element, but also attributes, and it's contents to name a few.

Is it breaking the standard and should be avoided if possible?

No, but perhaps the way one goes about doing it may break the code itself which IMO is a greater concern than standards. Standards of course plays an important role but not an essential one. If that were the case, then web browsers should comply under one common set of standards (I'm talking to you IE :P). Off the top of my head, here's things that should be avoided:

*

*Using the table element for a layout

        <input type="button"/>

 ...

*Using inline styles

*Using inline event handlers

Or is it our bread and butter and it does not really matter, as long as code is semantically correct (so headers are placed in h1, articles are placed in article etc...)

Changing an element's display property is a very small yet fundamentally essential aspect of web developing. So yes I suppose it can be considered bread and butter, which would make semantics the parsley that's used as garnish and never eaten. Semantics is subjective, a way of thinking, it is not a standard. I believe a novice should be aware of it's importance (or at least how it's important to others), but should not be pontificating between an
 and a
 being semantically better than using a  and an . In due time, semantics will just feel right.

Approach #1: Use display: inline
I have never found a good reason to use display: inline because display: inline-block is a far better choice.
Approach #2: Use float
Floats are fragile antiques. Just like handling Grandma's bone china dinner plates, you must take certain precautions if you plan on using them. Be mindful of how to clear floats and don't throw them in the dishwasher.
Basically, if given only these 2 options, Approach #1 is a better choice, especially if using inline-block. I'd stay away from floats, they are counter-intuitive and break easily. I recall only using them once because a client wanted text wrapping around an image.

CSS & CSS/JS
Provided is a Snippet comprising of 3 demos:

*

*Pure CSS solution utilizing display: flex.

*Pure CSS solution utilizing display: table-row/table-cell.

*CSS and minimal JavaScript solution utilizing display: inline-block and the classList API
Each of these demos are identical on the surface:
HTML

Demo 1 -

display: flex

This is the original markup with the following changes:

*

*div.container is now header.titles

*h1 text is: "Demo #n"

*h2 text is: "prop:value"

*section#demo#n.area is wrapped around everything.
This is a good example of semantics: Everything has meaning
You'll notice at the bottom of the viewport, are buttons. Each button corresponds to a demo.
Details on how each demo works as well as pros and cons are in the following files located in the leftside menu of the Plunker (see screenshot):

*

*demo1.md  flexbox

*demo2.md  disply: table

*demo3.md  classList
PLUNKER

These notes are not for the purpose of informing the OP of anything relevant to the question. Rather they are observations that I would like to address later on.

Further Notes

*

*Demo 1 and demo 2 are powered by the pseudo-class :target. Clicking either one of them will trigger the click event  It resembles an event because it's invoked by a click, but there's no way of controlling, or knowing the capture or bubbling phase if it actually exists. Upon further clicking of the first and second button, it will exhibit odd behavior such as: toggling of the other button then eventually becoming non-functional. I suspect the shortcomings of :target is that CSS handles events in a completely different way with little or no interaction with the user.

A: best Practice is to group the two heading in hgroup and change the display property for mobile and other views using @media query.
<hgroup class="headingContainer">

Main title

Secondary title

</hgroup>

The HTML  Element (HTML Headings Group Element) represents the
  heading of a section. It defines a single title that participates in
  the outline of the document as the heading of the implicit or explicit
  section that it belongs to.

As hgroup defines a single title for a section ,therefore changing display property within hgroup is not bed practice.

A: You should use:
$('element').css('display','');

That will set display to whatever is the default for element according to the current CSS cascade.
For example:

$('span').css('display','none');

$('span').css('display','');

will result in a span with display: inline.
But:
span { display: block }

$('span').css('display','none');
$('span').css('display','');

A: You can use flex box to arrange elements also, like this

As tax continues to have a bigger impact on returns, IT and operations can present a strong business case for making changes to the data and systems underpinning tax processes. The greatest concern for organizations regarding tax compliance is managing the complexities of regulations in different tax jurisdictions and potentially overlapping regulations, highlighting the need for robust data management systems. If clients are to make informed investment decisions and understand when a transaction may be hit by taxation, it is paramount that they receive accurate data from financial institutions — including, but not restricted to, historical data.
2. How Do We Tackle Technology?
It is now widely recognized that changing tax requirements could have far-reaching consequences for businesses, including potential effects on product offerings and profitability. As a result, more and more financial institutions are assessing what needs to be done to comply with these changing requirements and setting up processes that are fit for an ever-changing market. The challenges that need to be addressed in the planning phase range from ensuring data is easily consumable and digitized to enabling easy integration of new data into existing systems and processes. The new tax-intensive environment requires financial institutions to reassess tax data sourcing models and evaluate the need for new data management systems to centralize data at an enterprise level.
3. Are We Prepared for Complexity?
With no end in sight for the wave of changes to tax schemes, financial institutions must ensure that the processes being established now offer business flexibility and build stepping stones towards end-to-end automation. The tax burden facing the industry has resulted in a strong business case for replacing outdated manual processes, systems and tools with automated ones that help streamline tax data management. With a strong basis for managing tax data, financial institutions will be better placed to reduce the need for manual intervention and serve clients by ensuring easy access to the relevant tax rates for individual transactions.

My dog has been walking hunched over, with his head down and tail tucked for the past day. When he lays down, he keeps flinching at his back end. Unfortunately, I don't know his exact breed, but he is a small long haired dog.
His name is*****'s been with my family for almost 6 years. However, he was gifted to us. I, myself, don't know his age though I think my parents might have his papers. Would a picture help?
Veterinarian's Assistant: Is there anything else the Veterinarian should be aware of about Toto?
He was able to move his bowels yesterday and he seemed to get a lot better after some proper rest, but it seemed to have come back this morning.
No, no vomiting or diarrhea. He's been eating and drinking a little.
Do you have Aspirin or Tylenol?
I think we may have some. Does it need to be specifically for a dog?
He doesn't seem to want to eat his daily food. However, he did eat some of his dog snacks. My mother said that he's been avoiding his water, apparently. Is there anything else we can do for him?
My daughter and I are on vacation with our two Lowchens.
Hello, i have a male poodle / shitzu mix. He is 4 years old.


You will love to stay beside St Mary's Loch at Cappercleuch if you like gorgeous scenery, peaceful walks, spotting wildlife, watching the dark night sky, fishing, kayaking, cycling, driving or motorcycling on quiet roads… or just reading your book!
You won't find streetlights, club venues, jet-skis or fast food outlets. Those things may be great in their place but that place isn't St Mary's Loch!
Of course, if all this countryside gets too much, it's less than an hours drive to the "park and ride" on the outskirts of Edinburgh if you want to spend some time in the capital. Drive all the way into the city by all means but be prepared for some pricey parking!
walkhighlands.co.uk : check out Moffat area of Dumfries and Galloway as well as Scottish Borders for walks close to St Mary's Loch.
Looking out of the bedroom window you will often see an osprey fishing on the loch. Golden eagles were reintroduced to the Borders in 2018 so keep your eyes peeled! Buzzards are so common everywhere these days that they risk not being seen as special but their soaring flight and their ability to hover almost as well as the Kestrel are still worth watching around here. Peregrine falcons can be seen over the Grey Mare's Tail and wild goats are in the same area. If you see an enormous crow it will likely be a raven. We have a red squirrel that visits the garden from time to time and there are usually pheasants there too. A tawny owl sometimes perches on the old telegraph pole in front of the house. Otters have been seen around the loch where there are also many different types of ducks, grebes and divers. Looking up to the hill behind the cottage a red fox was seen, in full flight with his tail streaming out behind him (not welcomed by the farmers but a fine sight)! The roe deer graze the scrub on the same hill and are reputed to swim in the loch.
Mountain hares come down from the hill and one recently did a circuit of the village hall! We have seen lizards and slow worms, both common in the area. An adder was found dead on the road but they are very wary so you would be lucky to spot a live one!
The St Mary's Loch Angling Club looks after the fishing in the loch itself and in the adjacent Loch O' the Lowes (rhymes with cows and often just called "the wee loch"). A day permit is just £8. The club also rents out boats. Huge pike are regularly caught but there are also brown trout, perch and eels. (Once in a blue moon a rogue salmon will come into the loch, so they say). If you want river fishing then the Tweed is, of course, world famous for salmon – nearest point is 20 minutes drive away. The FishPal site gives useful information about the Tweed but their page relating to St Mary's Loch was way out of date last time we looked.
There are free trails at Innerleithen (20 minutes drive) and Glentress (25 mins) in the Tweed valley. If you are serious about the sport you will almost certainly already know of these locations as they regularly host international level events. However, there are also trails for all abilities. If you don't bring your own bikes they can be hired from Alpine Bikes. You can even take a course at Ridelines to improve your skills, kids level right up to total bonkers adult level! You an also "Go Ape" at Glentress.
All these attractions are heading east from St Mary's Loch. If you are in the area for a while it's worth making a trip in that direction to appreciate the huge changes of landscape in the Borders. Going all the way to the east coast is quite a long drive but the roads are extremely quiet (nice motorbike run) and the scenic coast e.g. St Abbs is beautiful.
Dawyck botanic gardens is the tree specialist arm of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh(Dawyck is pronounced Doik … like a young ruffian with a letter D in front). If you like trees even a little you will love this place. These are not just trees, they are TREES! Nice cafe too.
Save yourself the plane fare to Tibet and come to Samye Ling Monastery in the Scottish Borders! The drive itself is a delightful if not spiritual journey. The monastery has been here for more than 50 years. This is not some kind of recreation (unintended Buddhist pun) in the Disney style. It's the real thing. However you do not need to be a Buddhist to visit and sample the spirituality, the beautiful setting, the extraordinary buildings, the tea, the rugs. The monastery runs a number of different courses such as meditation, mindfulness and other topics related to the philosophy and religion of Buddhism.
Looking for something completely different? How about going for a trek with a group of Alpacas? Velvet Hall Alpacas get fantastic feedback and are very near Innerleithen in the Tweed valley, about 20 minutes away by car.

STAMFORD—Over 60 people gathered last night at Murphy's Townhouse Café in Stamford, CT, for the Faith on Tap, an evening of fellowship and faith for Catholic young adults.
This monthly event, hosted by the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist, is often crowded with young professionals from throughout the Diocese, but was particularly full on this evening, due to this month's speaker.
Bishop Frank Caggiano took the podium to excited applause and palpable anticipation, speaking for just over 20 minutes on missionary discipleship. Speaking to the captivated crowd, bishop shared Pope Francis' vision for the church as a field hospital, accompanying and helping brothers and sisters in need.
The bishop also detailed the three ways we can answer the call of the Holy Father to be missionary disciples in our lives. In order to go out on mission, the bishop said, we must first have a clear idea of what our mission is, we must go to the peripheries, and we must accompany people, one person at a time.
The evening ended with a question and answer session with Bishop Frank.
You can hear Bishop Frank's entire speech from Faith on Tap here.

[Ended] Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity has Declined): LOL
Though this too is like the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where the broadcast order does not follow the chronological order, it did so in a bit more deceiving fashion--while arcs are out of order, they didn't break the arc and insert some other random episode in the middle as Haruhi did where it blatantly made you aware that the episode orders are not correct. Here it merely rearranged it in a lot less noticeable way but if you have paid attentions to the details, you'd totally notice some referencing inconsistencies. Here is a list of key points that I managed to pick off:
Arc 1 (ep 1-2): Short hair, immediately after arc 3.
Arc 2 (ep 3-4): "They are STILL working on the human monument project?", chronologically after arc 3, but with long hair, so it would be after arc 1.
Arc 3 (ep 5-6): Assistant present, chronologically after arc 4.
Arc 4 (ep 7-8): First meeting of assistant.
Arc 5 (ep 9): Um...where does this one go...it looks like a finale of some sort...
Arc 6 (ep 10): Just graduated, no assistant, immediately after arc 7 but before arc 4.
Arc 7 (ep 11-12): School, the beginning of everything.
It's basically a logical puzzle where you use clues to try to arrange a correct chronological order. With those clues given, there are some definitive orders can be arranged with exception of episode 9:
11-12-10-7-8-*-5-6-1-2-*-3-4-*
Since there's no clue given for episode 9, as far as I can tell, it really could go on any one of those (*) spots. But since episode 9 looked like a finale, I'd say for now I'd just put it in the end, unless someone could tell me a reason it should go elsewhere. So my final conclusion on the chronological order would be:
11-12-10-7-8-5-6-1-2-3-4-9
Put technical stuff aside, this anime is by far one of the smartest anime I've seen in making hilariously humorous yet direct-to-the-point remarks about the problems that exist in today's society. In addition, it found the most hilarious and creative way I've seen anywhere dealing with time paradox heads on: the time paradog. It is by far the best line I've heard from this anime all season, not the part when the assistant named it, rather, the explanation grandfather gave right afterwards in the background: the universe would produce time paradogs in place of time paradox whenever time paradox is about to occur, which in turn, would prevent time paradox ever from occurring--you'll just end up with a bunch of time paradogs lying around. Brilliant!!
One reason it can afford to make the crude direct-to-the-point criticisms of today's society is the usage of the so called fairy, the smartest creatures in the world who aren't capable of producing sweets and other stuff they like. In my personal opinion, both of them represents human, but at different level: fairies in the story represents today's society at a macro level whereas humans in the story represents today's society at a micro level. So depending on the issues being address, they would use either human or the fairies, because certain issues exist only in micro level and others are better made example at a macro level.
Final Scoreboard:
Drama: 97 (Hilariously over dramatized)
Comedy: 98 (Plain hilarious)
Action: N/A
Art/Animation: 93 (Strange, flat, colorful, different)
Sound/Music: 95 (Catchy)
Character: 97 (Fun)
Plot: 94 (Cleverly out of order)
Ending: 97 (Very well)
Re-watch value: 80 - Still hilarious, and you can try to pick up more clues on the chronological ordering
Overall: 97 - Blunt and Funny
Recommendation: It's pretty save to say that no other short season series from the summer season could beat this in terms of ... anything. So go pick it up and watch it if you still haven't done so, because it is

10-7-8-5-6-1-2-9-11-12-3-4
You don't have it right with 11-12. It is framed around the time that Y is coming to visit Watashi for the first time since graduation. The flashback itself is not the time sequence of the arc. It was a device to show Watashi's response to the first fairy she ever met. It wouldn't have worked very well to show that portion and then flashback to show why she was attached to that particular fairy. Episode 10 is still the first in the sequence. There is a notable time gap between episode 3 and the later episodes in the series, as episode 3 starts off in the winter, and Y was relatively new as a mediator, meaning that between the last arc and episode 3, Y became a mediator.
Episode 9 takes place after episode 2. There is actually a clue to where it takes place in time. If you have been watching the series, there has been a clear indication that Watashi was abused by her grandfather as a child. In episode 5, she wondered whether her grandfather would beat them (Herself and the Assistant), showing that she was afraid of physical punishment. In episode 9, after laying waste to the island, Watashi seemed more embarassed than fearful, showing that she had reason to believe that her grandfather would not beat her. She remarks that the last time her grandfather had beaten her was before she got sent off to school. So, episode 9 takes place after episode 5, due to her eventual realization that the grandfather was not going to physically punish her anymore after she graduated from school, which also puts it after episode 2 since the events of the factory arc take place right after the space probes arc.
My reasoning has also been confirmed as true by multiple people who have read the source material and stated that the novel is written in chronological order.
The Evil Cat said...
Interesting analysis. Though with the additional information you've provided, I could still up with a slightly different order. With episode 10 as the first in sequence, since there's really no clear indication of where 11-12 should go, the lack of appearance of assistant makes me wanting to place it right before 7-8 and after 10, which would give more time for Y to become a mediator.
Also about 9, it may be strong enough of an argument to not place 9 in the end, but I don't think there's a strong argument to place it either before or after the 5-6-1-2 sequence. In my opinion, it could still go either way. So the ordering would be either

Amazon to hire 150,000 workers for holidays, similar to 2021
Published: October 6, 2022, 9:49 AM Updated: October 6, 2022, 11:19 AM
FILE - A truck arrives at the Amazon warehouse facility, in the Staten Island borough of New York, April 1, 2022. Amazon will hire 150,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees across its warehouses ahead of the holiday season. The announcement, made Thursday, Oct. 6, shows the e-commerce behemoth is taking a less conservative approach to its holiday planning than Walmart.

NEW YORK – Amazon will hire 150,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees across its warehouses ahead of the holiday season.
The announcement, made Thursday, shows the e-commerce behemoth is taking a less conservative approach to its holiday planning than Walmart, which said last month it would hire 40,000 U.S. workers for the holidays, compared to 150,000 in 2021.
Amazon, which typically beefs up its operations during the holidays, was looking for the same number of seasonal employees last year. Its other competitors, UPS and Target, have said their holiday hiring plans will also remain in line with the prior year.
Seattle-based Amazon said workers can earn an average pay of $19 per hour, based on their position and location within the U.S. The company had announced last week it would raise its average pay for frontline workers by a dollar, a move aimed towards attracting more employees in a tight labor market. It also said it would make changes so employees can get paid more frequently than one or twice a month.
Analysts expect the holiday shopping season to be impacted by the uncertain economic environment, as budget-conscious shoppers navigate higher prices for food and other necessities amid high inflation and rising interest rates.
Salesforce, which analyzes online shopping data, forecasts digital sales to reach $265 billion in the U.S. in November and December. That means holiday sales will remain essentially flat compared to last year, bumping up only 3%, despite a strong showing compared to pre-pandemic levels, Salesforce said. Analysts note higher prices could also lead to fewer total orders. And the current inflation rate of 8.3% means retailers would see a decrease in real sales.
To accommodate cash-strapped consumers expected to spread out their holiday shopping, retailers are offering more discounts - and doing it much earlier. Next week, Amazon will have its second Prime Day-like discount event of the year, the first time the company is holding a major sales event twice in one year following its Prime Day in July. Target and Walmart have said they'll also offer deals this month.
Amazon's overall retail business has been sluggish in the past few months as Americans shifted away from the pandemic-induced spike in online shopping. The pandemic-fueled demand was so high in the last two years that it drove the company to double its physical footprint and nearly double its workforce to 1.6 million. When the worst of the pandemic eased, the company found itself with too much space and too many workers. It's been reducing its warehouse capacity in the past few months by subleasing some of its warehouses, delaying or canceling construction on others. Between March and June, it said it also reduced its workforce by roughly 100,000 through attrition.
Though Amazon is boosting hiring at its warehouses, it's tightening its budget elsewhere. On Tuesday, The New York Times reported the company is implementing a hiring freeze on the corporate side of its retail business for the rest of the year.

Public Funds Managers
Would you like to access multi-million-dollar FDIC protection on your deposits? You can on deposits placed in demand deposit accounts and money market deposit accounts through ICS, the Insured Cash Sweep® service, and in CDs through CDARS—both offered at our bank.
With ICS and CDARS, you can:
Rest assured. Make even large deposits eligible for protection that's backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government.
Earn interest. Put excess cash balances to work by placing funds into demand deposit accounts using the ICS demand option, money market deposit accounts using the ICS savings option, or interest-bearing certificates of deposit (CDs) using CDARS. Earn one interest rate for each ICS option, and one rate for each CD maturity with CDARS.
Save time. Work directly with just our bank—a bank you know and trust. Forego opening accounts under different insurable capacities or managing multiple bank relationships. Receive just one monthly statement per service from us summarizing your account activity and balances. And, if you are accustomed to collateralization, eliminate the need to track collateral on an ongoing basis.
Access funds. Make unlimited withdrawals using the ICS demand option or up to six program withdrawals per month using the ICS savings option. With CDARS, select from a range of maturities (4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years).
Support your community. Feel good knowing that the full amount of your funds placed through ICS and/or CDARS can stay local to support lending opportunities that build a stronger community.1
That's smart.
[1] When deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other banks in the ICS or CDARS Network, the relationship institution can use the full amount of a deposit placed through ICS or CDARS for local lending, satisfying some depositors' local investment goals or mandates. Alternatively, with a depositors' consent, and if authorized under state law, a bank may choose to receive fee income instead of deposits from the banks. Under these circumstances, deposited funds would not be available for local lending.
Placement of funds through the ICS or CDARS service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in the service agreements, including the Deposit Placement Agreement ("DPA"). Limits apply and customer eligibility criteria may apply. In the ICS savings option, program withdrawals are limited to six per month. Although funds are placed at destination banks in amounts that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount ("SMDIA"), a depositor's balances at the relationship institution that places the funds may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before ICS or CDARS settlement for a deposit or after ICS or CDARS settlement for a withdrawal) or be ineligible for FDIC insurance (if the relationship institution is not a bank). As stated in the DPA, the depositor is responsible for making any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law. If the depositor is subject to restrictions on placement of its funds, the depositor is responsible for determining whether its use of ICS or CDARS satisfies those restrictions. ICS, Insured Cash Sweep, and CDARS are registered service marks of Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC.

#Hyundai-GV70 world premiere
Hyundai unveils GV70 SUV amid pandemic
SEOUL, Dec. 8 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor Co. on Tuesday unveiled the GV70, the second SUV model under its independent Genesis brand, in a world premiere as it strives to gain a share in the high-end vehicle market.
The midsized GV70 will be launched with a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, a 3.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine or a 2.2-liter diesel engine, with potential price tags between 49 million won and 75 million won (US$45,000-$69,000), the company said in a statement.
"The company plans to launch the GV70 in the domestic market later this year and in the United States and other global markets early next year despite the COVID-19 pandemic," a Hyundai spokesman said over the phone.
Hyundai applied its "athletic elegance" design language to the GV70 following the similar aesthetic of the GV80 SUV which was launched in January.
The GV70 comes with eight air bags and Signature Genesis design elements that include a deep crest grille, high-tech quad lamps and large front air intakes.
Safety features include forward collision avoidance assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, intelligent speed limit assist, driver attention warning, forward attention warning systems and advanced rear occupant alert systems.
The current Genesis lineup is composed of the G70, G80 and G90 sedans and the GV80 SUV. The GV70 SUV and an all-electric car will be added to the lineup by 2021.
The GV70 is an important model for Hyundai to revive sales in the U.S. The GV80 went on sale in the world's most important automobile market last month.
From January to November, Hyundai's U.S. vehicle sales fell 11 percent to 555,991 units from 624,051 during the same period of last year as the pandemic weighed on consumer sentiment.
Globally, its sales declined 16 percent in the first 11 months to 3,369,055 units from 4,026,075 a year ago.

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson will return to the air on two TV shows that had been put on hold for a sexual misconduct investigation.
The National Geographic Channel said in a statement Friday that Tyson's "StarTalk" will return to the air in April with the 13 episodes that remain in the season.
The statement says Tyson's other show, "Cosmos," will return on National Geographic TV and Fox at a date to be determined.
Late last November, National Geographic Networks and Fox said they would examine reports that Tyson behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner toward two women. Friday's statement did not address the complaints or investigation.
A message with a representative seeking from Tyson wasn't immediately returned.
Tyson said in December that he denied the allegations and welcomed the investigation.

We do not share some of the fixed income market's concern over near-term recession risks, but we do recognise that we are in a very different environment than we were a year ago.
Given significant flattening of developed market government bond yield curves, traditional havens such as certificates of deposit (CDs) are now yielding 2.25% for little to no risk; and the yield on commercial paper (CP) now averages 2.7%. For those willing to extend just slightly further out on the fixed income maturity curve, even two-year investment-grade credit with an average risk premium of 100bp brings the all-in yield to 3.5%.
These alternatives have a clear impact on risk taking in a world where economic growth is expected to weaken and violent bouts of volatility are common. To us, this suggests that there is little benefit to taking a long spread duration position and that the best exposures in fixed income are in the front end of the risk space.
Tactically, we are positioned for a near-term rally. We express this mostly in the US high-yield (HY) market. We expect fourth-quarter company earnings to exhibit modest growth (albeit lower than that of the second and third quarters). Supply technicals should help as well given the limited issuance.
US high-yield spreads have widened from 300bp in early October to 525bp at the start of 2019. At that level, the market is pricing in the possibility of recession in 2019, which we think is overdone.
Longer-term, we are more inclined to be underweight credit globally and believe that security selection will play a larger role in fixed income performance this year.


U.S. News & World Report definitely seems to have cornered the market for rankings, and it's probably the only reason why it's still in business these days! But before you get too excited about the latest "Best Graduate School Rankings", released today, keep in mind that the Humanities and Social Science rankings are old and not updated. The English rankings, which we know best about, are from 2009, which I guess isn't so awfully outdated. This might be the only time I show school spirit, but you've gotta be kidding me if UCI English is #22 in the country, even though we have a good (though maybe not good enough!) job placement record, with recent grads landing jobs at more highly rated programs like U Virginia, Yale, and UPenn.
These rankings are based solely on the ratings of academic experts. This year, we've produced new rankings of Ph.D. programs in biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, mathematics, physics, and statistics. In addition to these new rankings, we republish older rankings that are based solely on peer ratings in various health fields, Ph.D. programs in the humanities and social sciences, master's of public affairs and public policy, master's of fine arts, and master's of library and information studies programs.
So even basic and (should be) easy-to-find quantifiable measures like job placement rate, size of fellowship package, average year to degree have no bearing on a program's quality. These stats would be useful information for any prospective grad student who might not know better and assume USN&WR's rankings actually have real merit. Oh, and if the rankings help in any way, it might make more sense to publish them earlier, not on the exact day that grad school decisions are due!
Of course, the methodology behind and the out-of-dateness of the Ph.D. rankings only underscore which programs are the money- makers and attention-grabbers, not only for USN&WR, but also within the institution of the university. The magazine, of course, provides updated rankings in professional programs like Law, Business, Engineering, and Medicine. Oh well, maybe those ratings might be more relevant and useful, especially if you're a post-academic from a Ph.D. program looking to make a switch into something else.


What Is The Meaning Of Sound Mod, How Does It Operate?
Discussion in 'Android Tablet Discussions' started by rupeshforu3, Mar 6, 2018.
Hi I am Rupesh from India and I love to listen good music in Android smartphones. In order to get rich music experience I am searching for sound mods.
At present I am using redmi note 4 with MIUI 9.2 and redmi note 4 has a separate audio processing unit and also software for it.
My question is after flashing the zip file of this sound mod when I play music in my smartphone which technology plays important role ie., clear audio+ or HTC beats or Dolby atmos or Dirac HD.
Does only one of the above mentioned technologies tries to maximize the music experience or all of the above tries to maximize the music experience.
Please clarify my doubt. I am new to sound mod technology and so can any one of you specify a link which provides the theory about how does sound mod works.
If you installed all of them the sound quality would be modified by each of them, which really isn't a good thing. So I would select only one and install it. Personally I recommend Viper4Android as it's the most popular and has a proven track record. I do however have Dolby Atmos on my Lenovo Tab 4 (preinstalled) and it works equally well.
I am using redmi note 4 to listen music and it has a separate processing unit for audio. I have flashed viper 4 android sound mod and my question is doe's this sound mod uses this audio processing unit or not.
I can't answer that. I don't have your device. You'll have to ask elsewhere, like on XDA Developers.
I am asking generally which comes into action. Suppose you take a Windows PC in it definitely there will be a processor and sound card component such as ac 97.
Suppose you play any audio file in Windows PC what is the role of ac 97 hardware.
Just now I had to Google AC97 to have a clue as to what the heck you were talking about, because I haven't had any reason to worry about what my laptops, smartphones, or tablets were using. For the record, AC97 is an audio codec; software that allows the DAC (Digital / Analog Converter) to understand the data being sent to it. The DAC converts digital impulses into analog waveforms that humans can hear. A codec allows the DAC to understand the data it receives. The DAC then translates what it receives into something you can listen to.
As already mentioned, the codec allows the DAC to understand the data it receives. The DAC takes what it receives and sends the output in the form of sound waves to the speakers. Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos are graphic equalizers. They stand between the DAC and the speakers, modifying the output of the DAC by adjusting the sound in selected frequencies, depending upon the tastes of the listener. For the average person, the codec and the DAC are irrelevant because they cannot be controlled. The sound output from the DAC however can.

Newest SF community garden brings a welcome splash of greenery
By Jenna Lyons
Updated 2:51 pm PST, Saturday, February 24, 2018

San Francisco's newest garden got a thumbs-up from the green thumbs.
A crowd of gardeners, civic leaders and parks officials gathered in the Ingleside district Saturday for the grand opening of the Geneva Community Garden, the 40th of its kind in the city.
What was once a tangle of overgrown weeds on the way to the Balboa Park BART Station became a 10,427-square-foot garden at Geneva and Delano avenues.
"This is going to be the hottest park corridor in the city pretty soon," Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the Recreation and Park Department, told the crowd.
The space was created after a long campaign by a handful of gardening enthusiasts in the area, who planted the seed nearly a decade ago. On Saturday, they finally reaped the harvest.
Money doesn't grow on trees, so the project was set in motion after resident Martha Arnaud applied for a community opportunity fund grant in 2009.
"It occurred to me it would be really nice to have a plot in a community garden," Arnaud said at the grand opening. "As I started looking into it, I realized there were no community gardens anywhere near here. And one thing led to another, and I just can't begin to describe how delighted I am."
A number of additional programs funded the $1.6 million garden as well, parks officials said, including the city's 2008 Parks Bond.
The garden just opened, but already about 30 people are on the waiting list, said Mei Ling Hui, the city's community garden program manager. People are allowed to plant "pretty much everything," with the exception of cannabis and plants that grow so tall they might unintentionally shade the others.
Steve Wasserman, a resident of the Forest Hill neighborhood, managed to get one of the 60 plots before they filled up. He said he plans to grow some tomatoes, carrots, onions, beets and shishito peppers.
"I grew up in the Midwest in the suburbs, with a big yard and a big vegetable garden every summer," said Wasserman, 64. "Gardening is something that I've been involved in for a long time."
But he found the yard at his home is too small, shady and foggy for good gardening.
"When this opportunity came up. it was a great chance for me to put my hands back in the dirt," he said.
Sharon Eberhardt, one of the residents who oversaw the years-long push for the space, said the yard at her home is "full of gophers." Now, she said, she'll plant carrots and lettuce at the community garden.
"A lot of kids don't see where food comes from. They think it comes from a package at the grocery store. They don't know about farming," said Eberhardt, 72. "I think it's a good educational tool."
Maria Uchi, an Outer Mission resident, walked over to her plot Saturday to plant a calamansi tree — what she calls a Filipino cross between a tangerine and a lemon. The garden is a welcome change from what used to be there, she said.
"This was such an eyesore before," Uchi said. "It was kind of creepy. It's so nice to have something like this."
But at the root of it all, gardens aren't just about planting pretty or delicious things, said Mei, of the parks department.
"Community gardens aren't the end goal. Community-building is the end goal. Community gardens are a tool for community members to come together," she said. "When I'm able to do this kind of work, it really solidifies that the city belongs to me as much as I belong to the city."

Drunk woman crashes her car into police officer in Orange, CA
Published On: 03-20-2017 in Category: alcohol, Drunk driving, DUI
Drunk driving is a serious issue in the United States, killing millions of people across the country. Sadly, people who drink and drive fail to understand that they are not only putting their own life at risk, but also endangering the lives of others on the road. However, one cannot evade the legal repercussions of driving under the influence or DUI, which could amount to a fine or even a jail term. In fact, there is zero tolerance across all U.S. states when it comes to crimes involving illegal substances.
In December 2016, a woman was arrested on the suspicion of drunken driving, at 40 mph in a 25 mph zone, and crashing into the car of a police officer from the city of Orange. Ashley Victoria Bertolino, 27, of Tustin, was accused of driving with a blood alcohol (BAC) level of more than 0.13 percent, when she lost control of the car and hit Officer Doe, who was reportedly standing behind his parked patrol vehicle in the 500 block of North Cambridge Street, Tustin.
Officer Doe was helped by some of his colleagues, who helped him get out from below Bertolino's car, and later, transported him to a nearby hospital to be treated for serious injuries. Bertolino was detained at the accident scene and later, arrested, following a medical checkup at the local hospital. If convicted, she could face a maximum prison time of six years.
Drunken driving incidents rampant in Orange County
Accidents due to alcohol-impaired driving are rampant across all the American states. Even Orange County has witnessed a significant rise in the number of DUI-related car crashes in the recent past. As a part of the ongoing countywide efforts to curb the menace of drunk driving, last year, officers from the Orange County Sheriff's Department's DUI Enforcement Team announced DUI checkpoints in areas known for high frequencies of DUI collisions. As part of the drive, officials present at the checkpoint stopped and arrested drivers with alcohol or drug impairment. Also, whenever feasible, specially trained police officers were assigned to evaluate those charged with driving under the influence.
Apparently, individuals convicted of driving under the influence in Orange County are required to pay hefty fines, apart from facing other penalties, including suspension of licenses, probation, mandatory rehab programs, increased car insurance costs, compulsory installation of ignition interlock systems, as well as a jail term.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2013, one in three crash deaths in the US involved drunk driving. Studies have shown that a combination of alcohol and drugs in a person's system is the main cause of road accidents and car crashes in the country.
Apparently, a significant percentage of motorists who had been prosecuted on earlier occasions for driving under the influence of alcohol, often repeat their offenses. The number of repeat offenses clearly indicates that these individuals are not receiving the right kind of counseling and treatment for their drinking problems.
Battling the menace of alcoholism!
If you or your loved one is battling addiction to alcohol, or any other substance, seek treatment immediately. The Orange County Drug Treatment Rehab Center can help you avail the best addiction treatment programs and embark on your journey to sobriety. Call at our 24/7 helpline number 714-202-4669 for more information on different treatment options in the U.S.

Special thanks to Master Somms' Geoff Kruth and Matt Stamp who organized the aroma compounds in this guide. You can listen to their free podcast and learn how to apply this to blind tasting.
Wine esters come from acids. Esters are used extensively in the flavor industry for everything from essential oils to candy. In wine, esters provide the building blocks of fruit flavors.
Pyrazine is an aromatic organic compound that has vegetable-like smells. It's also one of the fundamental aroma compounds in chocolate and coffee.
The smell of Christmas trees and desert sage are two classic examples of terpenes. In wine, they can smell anywhere from sweet and floral to resinous and herbaceous. By the way, terpenes are a highly desired trait of hops and beer making.
A thiol is an organosulfur compound that smells fruity in tiny amounts, but in larger amounts it smells like garlic and is considered a wine fault. Thiols are also a building block of earthiness.
Sulphur compounds may be the secret to minerality in wine. Some sulfur compounds smell fantastic, such as the chalk-like aroma in fine Chablis. Some sulphur compounds are bad, like the smell of wet wool, which is a wine fault caused by UV damage.
Volatile acidity (a.k.a. acetic acid) is caused by bacteria that are present in wine making. In high doses, volatile acidity smells like acetone, but in low doses it can add great complexity and is a feature of many very fine wines.
Phenols are a group of chemical compounds that are similar to alcohols. Phenols are naturally occurring in many things including sesame seeds, peppers and even cannabis. In wine, one type of phenol is when a wild yeast called Brettanomyces can add either a lovely (clove and bacon) aroma or a very detestable (horse) aroma to wine.
Geosmin is an organic compound from a type of bacteria. It might just be the most earthy-smelling compound out there. If you love beets, mushrooms and the smell of potting soil then Geosmin is your friend.
Rotundone is a kind of terpene that is found in the essential oils of black pepper, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, thyme and basil. It gives that classic peppery aroma that you've probably tasted on great red wines.
Lactones, and particularly gamma-Lactones are esters found in sweet and creamy smelling foods such as honey wheat bread, peaches, coconut, roasted hazelnut, butter and even cooked pork!
Thiols can taste like grapefruit pith and passion fruit, but in higher doses will smell and taste like smoky, skunk, tar and chocolate.
Next time you taste wine think about how the flavor may be one or a combination of the fundamental wine flavors above. If you'd like to know how to pick out flavors better, check out this useful guide on tasting wine.


SCATES, WILLIAM BENNETT (1802–1882). William Bennett Scates, soldier and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Scates, was born in Halifax County, Virginia, on June 27, 1802. The family moved to Christian County, Kentucky, where Scates remained until 1820, when he went to New Orleans; there he clerked and did carpenter work. He arrived at Anahuac, Texas, on March 2, 1831, and in 1832 participated in the Anahuac Disturbances and the battle of Velasco. In 1835 he joined the Revolutionary Army and took part in the siege of Bexar. Scates was one of the two representatives from Jefferson Municipality at the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos and there signed the Declaration of Independence. When he left the convention, Scates rejoined the army and participated in the battle of San Jacinto in Benjamin F. Bryant's company of Sabine Volunteers. When Bryant's company was disbanded, Scates joined Hayden S. Arnold's Nacogdoches Company. After the revolution he settled in Washington County, where he married Theodocia Clardy Smith on November 17, 1836; two children were born to them. By 1840 Scates had title to 150 acres in Fayette County; he also appears on that county's 1846 poll-tax list. After his first wife's death, he married Sarah McMillan, on March 25, 1850; they had five children. At the age of sixty-two, Scates enlisted as a private in Company F, Fourth Battalion, Texas Cavalry, Texas State Troops, on October 9, 1863. He died on February 22, 1882, and was buried near Osage, Colorado County. In 1929 the state of Texas reinterred the bodies of Scates and his second wife in the State Cemetery.
