TWINSTERS Part 2: Post Production
Adopted, raised on different continents & connected through social media, Samantha & Anaïs are twin sisters separated at birth.
Samantha Futerman
Project We Love Los Angeles, CA Documentary
If this is your first time hearing about our story, let us catch you up…
On February 21, 2013, Samantha, an American actor living in Los Angeles, received a message via Facebook that would drastically change her life. It was from Anaïs, a French fashion design student living in London. Anaïs' friends viewed a KevJumba YouTube video featuring Samantha and were immediately blown away by the identical appearance of Samantha and Anaïs. With a few light Google stalking sessions, Anaïs and her friends discovered that both girls were born on November 19, 1987 and adopted shortly after. Anaïs knew immediately that it was possible for Samantha to be her biological twin sister and reached out to her through Twitter and Facebook.
After endless Skype conversations, text messages and any other possible form of communication, the girls were ready to meet in person. Samantha and Anaïs decided they wanted to document their story to share with the world. In May 2013, Samantha, her family, and a small film crew flew to London to meet Anaïs and her family for the very first time.
Why we need your help!
Why are we asking for more? Having previously gained the bulk of our budget through Kickstarter, we are now struggling to complete our project. With every life-changing moment caught on camera, we need additional funds to put all of the pieces together in post-production.
With your support, we made it to London and experienced an amazing 10 days with both of our families in tow. After such an incredible reunion, our relationship quickly blossomed and our story continued to unfold in unexpected ways. We were able to capture even more life-changing events, including 2 weeks in California and 10 days in Seoul, Korea where we attended the International Korean Adoptee Associations (IKAA) 2013 conference, visited our adoption agencies and together, discovered the land where our separation took place.
In addition, we were able to begin the post-production process—organizing all 42,000 video clips in preparation for the editing room. The funds from this Kickstarter will go directly to hiring an editor, assistant editor, colorist, composer, graphic designer, sound designer, publicist, film festival fees and legal fees.
Our goal of $80,000 is the bare minimum we need in order to complete the film. Anything more will grant us access to the best resources available so we can tell this story as it deserves to be told. We will be in post-production 8-10 hours per day for another 8 months, with a finished film ready to submit to the 2015 film festivals.
We are firm supporters of the social media world. Having access to such a powerful resource as Kickstarter, we are beyond grateful to have the chance to complete this project with the generous support of the people who are truly invested. Without the world of social media, we would have never been able to connect.
**If you are a previous backer and donate the same amount or more, we will bump you to the next reward level!
Anaïs' first Facebook message to Samantha.
Anaïs was born in South Korea on November 19, 1987. She was put into foster care through Holt International Children's Services. About three months later, she was adopted by a couple & raised as an only-child, in the suburbs of Paris where she grew up enjoying all types of food & cheese. She also spent the first years of her childhood in Belgium. Always fascinated by drawing & encouraged by her parents to pursue a career in the arts, she graduated with a BA in textiles from ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres in Paris, France. Anaïs recently graduated from the acclaimed Central Saint Martins College of Arts & Design in London with a degree in fashion design. She now works as an assistant designer for Gerard Darel.

Samantha was born in South Korea on November 19, 1987. She was put into foster care through Spence-Chapin Adoption Services. About three months later, Samantha was adopted by a family in Verona, New Jersey. She has two older brothers, Matt & Andrew, her parent's biological sons. Her father is an accountant & her mother is a pre-k teacher. Samantha's childhood hobbies included harassing her brothers, softball, dance & theatre. She eventually attended & received her high school diploma from the Professional Performing Arts School in New York City and a BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University. Samantha currently lives in Los Angeles, pursuing her acting career.

The risks and challenges of post-production are endless. Sifting through over 42,000 video clips in order to put together a feature-length documentary is more than a challenge. In addition to the 42,000 video clips shot on our Canon C100, we have an array of footage from iPhones, iSight cameras, compact cameras, Skype and computer screen capture. It is imperative that we find a talented editor who has the tools to help construct this story in the most powerful way possible. He/she will be the person to nip, tuck and screw everything into place.
Calculating all post production costs (editor, film festival fees, color correction, publicity, legal, etc.), the amount we need to finish this film totals $80,000.

The commissioner had told newsmen that 17 suspected cultists had been arrested with assorted arms.
He said senior lecturers of the university found to be aiding and abetting cult activities would not go free. Gwandu promised that his command would continue its zero tolerance on crime in parts of the state.
"The university community made a call that cult groups were killing and they killed so many. At a point two were killed. At a point, they went to inspect a site; officers discovered more than 14 beheaded students at that particular time.
"There were some senior lecturers who were arrested with firearms. We are going to arrest those who have been mentioned and those who are real cultists and charge them to court.
"My anti-cultism unit was there on a distress call on the 17th day of March 2017. We dispatched Anti-Cultism Unit to assist the division.
"Having gone there, we were given an intelligent report that one of those who were arrested initially and taken to prison was sighted around the school.
But AAU spokesman debunked the commissioner's statements.
He said: "We hereby state unequivocally that Ambrose Alli University has had no issue of cult-related activities since the inception of the administration of Prof. Ignatius Onimawo and his management team.
"There has been no report from the Police Force or any individual or groups for that matter concerning any incident of cultism or cult-related activities.
"The Police Commissioner and his team could not have arrested any staff of the university, or found 14 students dead and not make a report, formal or informal, to the authorities of Ambrose Alli University.
"The Police Commissioner, by his pronouncement, has opened the way for damaging and libellous display of falsehood in the social media.
"The university management hereby enjoins students of Ambrose Alli University to disregard this false, distressing and embarrassing report in the media, fuelled by officers of the law.


Combine a small package of strawberry gelatin and 1 cup of water. Heat on the stove until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup rum, 1/4 cup Grand Marnier™ (or triple sec) and 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice. Set aside.
Shave a tiny bit from the bottoms of the strawberries. Be careful that you don't take too much off: just enough to allow them to stand upright. Then, hollow out the strawberries, using a strawberry huller, paring knife or grapefruit spoon.
Set strawberries snugly into a pan and fill them with spiked gelatin. Refrigerate and allow to set 3-4 hours.
Just before you're ready to serve, rotate the rim of the strawberry in sugar. Garnish with mini lime wedges, if desired, and serve!
May is National Strawberry Month! That seems deserving of a celebration, don't you think? And since we're of the opinion that celebrations are made better by an awesome jelly shot, let's combine the two! These might be the best jelly shot to date. Not only do you get the boozy fun of a jelly shot, but also the vessel that holds the shot is edible. And not only is it edible ... it's a sweet, delicious strawberry. It doesn't get much better than that! To turn the strawberry into an edible shot glass. Shave a tiny bit from the bottoms of the strawberries. Be careful that you don't take too much off ... just enough to allow them to stand upright. Then, hollow out the strawberries. If you have a handy dandy strawberry huller go ahead and use it, but a paring knife or grapefruit spoon would work too. A turkey baster works great for filling the strawberries with the Jello! Refrigerate and allow to set 3-4 hours. Just before you're ready to serve, rotate the "rim" of the strawberry in sugar. (No need to wet the berries, the sugar will stick on its own.) Garnish with mini lime wedges, if desired, and serve! Cheers to the strawberry – and endless summer BBQ's filled with these sweet treats!

Melissa Benoist Gushes Over Being A New Mom to Baby Huxley: 'He's Such a Sweetheart'
Melissa Benoist is love being a new momma!
The 32-year-old Supergirl actress spoke about her newborn son, Huxley Wood, in a brand new interview.
"Oh, man, he's the best," Melissa gushed about her son during an Instagram Live video with Congresswoman Karen Bass. "I am loving being a parent. I love being a mom. He's such a sweetheart."
She added that Huxley is already "so big and every day I'm, like, crying because he's gained half an ounce."
Melissa also opened up about the plans for Huxley's first holiday – Halloween.
"We'll probably watch movies…It's a bummer we're not gonna get any trick-or-treaters [amid the coronavirus pandemic], but it's for a good reason," she shared.
Melissa and husband Chris Wood welcomed Huxley in last month, and waited a few weeks to announce his arrival.
"Huxley Robert Wood got here a few weeks ago ♥ and this little boy is everything," she wrote.
If you missed it, Melissa's ex-husband, Blake Jenner, opened up about their past relationship. See what happened here…

EU executive defends itself against allegations of farm subsidy abuse
By Deutsche Presse-Agentur
Brussels – The European Commission defended itself on Monday against allegations that a notable share of EU agricultural subsidies ends up in the pockets of politicians and local strongmen, especially in central and eastern Europe.
Allegations against the EU
Agricultural payouts are the largest proportion of EU spending, totalling around 36 per cent of the bloc's 2019 budget, or 58.4 billion euros (65.1 billion dollars).
Following several months of investigation, the New York Times reported on Sunday that in countries such as Hungary and the Czech Republic, a large share of this funding is used by those in power to line their pockets or protect political interests.
But the commission – the European Union's executive – pushed back, arguing that the reporting was overblown and that it was doing everything it could to fight fraud.
"In 2018, according to the European Court of Auditors, the error rate in direct payments expenditure was below 2 per cent, regarded as insignificant," said commission spokesman Daniel Rosario.
"Zero tolerance for fraud"
"The commission has zero tolerance for fraud with EU funds," he added, while noting that the primary responsibility for ensuring money is spent correctly rests with member states.
Allegations of malpractice are investigated and ultimately handed to EU anti-fraud agency OLAF, Rosario said, noting that several investigations were under way.
A European public prosecutor's office is also being set up to tackle EU funding abuse, while the commission has proposed linking future EU budget payouts more closely to sound resource management and respect for the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Green EU lawmaker Martin Haeusling said the EU should only pay active farmers, rather than linking subsidies to land surface area.

Whether you are decluttering your kitchen or your closet, here are a few simple questions to think about while you are sifting through your stuff. Sometimes decluttering can be an emotional process and asking yourself these questions will help you determine what's worth keeping and what's letting go.
1. Do I Love It? ... I forgot about this award I got when I was in college...should I take a picture of it and let it go, or do I want to display it?
2. Do I Need It? ... Are You kidding me, part with my hair dryer? Never!
3. Will I Ever Use It? ... These black boots are cute, but I haven't worn them in 6 years!?
4. Is It A Duplicate? ... Wow, I really have three melon ballers?
5. What Is The Worse Thing That Will Happen If I Let It Go? ... Ok, I'm letting go of two of my melon ballers. If I have a big melon decorating party I will just have to borrow a few more.
What questions do you ask yourself when decluttering?

Hov, är en by i Östervåla socken, Heby kommun.

Byn omtalas första gången 1316 "in Hoff", då två kyrkolandbor upptas i förteckningen över vad hertig Valdemar uppburit i kyrkogodsen i Tiundaland. I ett odaterat brev från 1340-talet intygar Bengt Kirstinesson att hans mor i livstiden uppburit full betalning för Hov, en försäljning som då borde ha skett före 1316.

Tidigare forskning tolkade ortnamnet Hov som "hedniskt gudatempel", modernare forskning ställer sig mer tveksam till en sådan forskning, och Mats Wahlberg föreslår istället att namnet kommer av en hallbyggnad (möjligen även den kopplad till kult), men kan eventuellt även betyda upphöjning eller terrassering.

Möjligen finns någon koppling till byn Hovberga, som före storskiftet gränsade till Hov. Den troligaste etymologiska förklaringen vore att Hovberga ursprungligen varit fäbod till Hov, men Hovberga förekommer i skriftliga handlingar redan 1312 som självständig by, och har till skillnad från Hov ett gravfält med 25 gravar. (RAÄ 9, Östervåla)

Byn saknar gravfält som kan direkt kopplas till byn, men den ligger intill Östervåla kyrka, och har troligen fungerat som kyrkby.

1541 fanns två kyrkolandbor i Hov. Under 1600-talet ägde regementsskrivare och senare överinspektören över salpetersjudarna Petter Gamb hela byn, han sålde den senare till kyrkoherden i Östervåla.

Suzie Q is the first Airstream addition to our ESK family. This 1953 vintage beauty spent most of her life in barns and storage containers from Minnesota to Ohio. Now we are fully restoring her from the outside in, taking her on the road along the way. The plan is to keep the overall design as authentic to original 50's style as possible... while adding our ESK twist.
We have fully polished the exterior including the inside of the door. The tongue, bumper, and rims have been painted black and we tinted the windows true to ESK fashion. The original tile floor was in disrepair and thus removed and replaced with vinyl, faux wood flooring. The exterior running lights were replaced with original glass lenses. Overall, Round One went to the exterior. Suzie is now shined up and glowing from the outside, while her interior sits ready for its full makeover.
Keep scrolling to follow her process so far!
Getting a new trailer home or into the shop is always exciting, but after the initial glow of your new buy wears off.. you quickly realize how much work is there to be done. We dove into this project immediately to get Suzie ready for her first event a mere month away. Our first step is always to properly catalog the exterior and interior details of the unit as they are when we received it. No matter your intentions with the project in the end, we believe this is an important step! Not only can it be handy to catalog the time and money you've put in, it is fun and informative to see how far the transformation has progressed along the way.
Once every inch was visually documented, we began removing old and broken items like the flooring, destroyed seals and damaged hardware. With a short timeline of one month, we gave ourselves a tight but reasonable goal of replacing the floor and polishing the exterior in time for the event. Justin, our resident pro-polisher took on the messy task of making Suzie Q shine.
It doesn't take long after diving into any renovation project, trailer or building, to find a maze of issues or obstacles you might have initially overseen. That's one of the reasons we are so adamant about taking on projects that you can handle and preparing yourself mentally and financially for unforeseen challenges that will most likely arise.
Our first setback came in the form of silver spray paint. Let us start out by saying NEVER spray paint anything directly on your Airstream in a random fashion... or near your Airstream without accounting for over-spray... and ask yourself if the things you are painting really need to or should be painted that way. This takes away from the value of the trailer and causes issues down the road for yourself or future owners.
Paint needs to be stripped off from the surface of the aluminum before you can do a proper polishing job. If not, you will either find it impossible to get a mirror-like finish, or you will ruin your equipment in the process trying to work through the paint. Gunked-up wheels and burnt-out motors just add to the overall cost of your project, and create unnecessary frustration that can be easily avoided.
Similar problems can arise when using the wrong type of tape directly on the aluminum, and leaving it for long periods of time.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, with over-spray on the exterior or a painted door you want bare metal instead, you can do like we did and turn to paint-stripping products. These products come in a variety of strengths and methods of application. They offer an effective way to remove buildup without harming the aluminum underneath. Avoiding abrasive alternatives like grinding, soda blasting, or sanding is key if you want to reach a flawless, reflective surface in the end.
We found that the quick-acting spray option was enough to tackle the thin paint randomly scattered along the exterior. But the product that saved the day was a longer-sitting gel option that did it's magic after about 30-60 minutes. This not only ate through 3 0r 4 layers of paint, it removed baked-on duct tape, tree sap, and even old silicone seals around the door. By cleaning the surface so well, even around the doors and edges of things, we were able to polish every inch of the exterior to give the most impressive outcome possible.
With special help from the team at Lawton Floor Design in Brattleboro VT, we were able to get a durable and attractive vinyl floor for our Airstream's interior. They made the experience enjoyable and seamless, getting the product to us quickly so we could make our tight deadline. We will definitely be back for future projects!
The floor of this trailer shows how you can take certain design liberties when doing restorations. There are many pleasing qualities about the different eras and their fads, but then there are some flops. In such a small space, classic 50's checkerboard or avocado green tiles wouldn't bode well spanning the interior. Instead, we opted for a more traditional style that would highlight all other elements from the earlier time period. It's about mixing old with new and finding the right design balance. This can be applied to your own interior projects no matter their location. Taking visual breaks from busy or eye-catching elements with neutral fillers helps highlight what needs to be highlighted, without overwhelming the space.
Eames had it right in saying " The details are not the details. They make the design." The small elements of a project are extremely important, yet often overlooked. If you skimp out on the personal touches, the end product will suffer. But if you take the time and care to finish off each stage cleanly or creatively, the project will benefit as a whole. The interior floor we laid is a good example of this ideology. We began by pulling out the furnishings we could with the time constraints we had. Although we would prefer to clear the trailer completely before installing a floor, time and budget don't always allow for that. When that happens to you, roll with it! Setbacks create new opportunities.
We used a lightweight vinyl option that was amazingly easy to cut and came in 3" thick strips. This made it a breeze to fit the flooring around complex corners, curved walls, and to slide under currently immovable objects. Taking extra time to measure around objects in order to keep the offset pattern consistent are one of those small details that goes a long way. Another example is the framed step leading into the trailer. With this simple mitered element the entryway is now brought to the next level. These components may seem small or insignificant, and may even be unseen by some, but if they were missing or wrong their absence would be glaringly obvious.
We were extremely lucky to be given original 1950's pieces that were built in or bought for our trailer when she was first produced. One of the most impressive of these antiquities is the awning room shown here. Made out of an Army canvas material with painted stripes, this multi-part extension adds a great amount of covered space to the Airstream's exterior. Being made of old material and oil-based paint means that the years were not so kind to our new heirloom. So we packaged it up and shipped it to rising star Jean Bundschuh of Tin Can Awnings to reproduce in a fabric of our choice.
We've known from day one that we want to incorporate minty teals and red accents into Suzie's design inside and out. Going with a pin-up inspired stripe, we searched until we found this beautiful vintage looking fabric from Sunbrella. It has that matted down mint color and exudes the classic feel the original green awning lacked. That is the best part about restoration after all. Taking all the best parts of eras past to highlight in your design... while cutting out the styles and structures that weren't so successful. Military green nixed for beautiful, subdued mint.
For now, we have just replaced the main part of the awning on top. We are in the middle of picking apart the walls with Jean to learn the snap and hook system used in creating the walls of the outdoor room. She is excited to get things squared away so she can start offering others this option for their trailers.
IN NEED OF AN AWNING?
We very highly recommend checking Jean at Tin Can Awnings out on Facebook to see her past work (all categorized in the albums) and speaking with her about your project. She is great in helping you choose fabrics, taking the time to copy elements precisely if needed, and working efficiently to get the finished product to you in a reasonable amount of time. If you would like to choose your awning fabric we recommend finding one through Recasens since that is the company she works with directly. Don't forget to tell her "hello" from ESK!

Double First Call in Grenada
Grenada welcomed a double call earlier this week when two cruise ships both made inaugural calls to the destination, with the Celebrity Reflection and MSC Preziosa combining to bring more than 5,000 guests.
The captain and crew of the Celebrity Reflection were greeted by a local delegation including the CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) Patricia Maher, representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, local agents George F. Huggins & Co.Ltd, the Grenada Ports Authority, Customs and the Royal Grenada Police Force. They met with Reflection Captain Panagiotis Skylogiannis, handing over the traditional welcome plaque.
"We are delighted that your passengers are enjoying such perfect weather today. They are spoiled for choice when visiting Grenada from experiencing bean to bar chocolate tours and rum factories to waterfalls, white sandy beaches and so much more," Maher said.
Similar plaques were handed over by George F. Huggins & Company Ltd. and the Ports Authority.
The team then boarded the MSC Preziosa for a short inaugural commemoration ceremony. Welcoming the captain and crew and handing over a commemorative plaque was GTA Communications Officer Ria Murray.

Report On Business Home Capital cuts 65 jobs; cost-cutting effort now 'substantially complete'
Home Capital cuts 65 jobs; cost-cutting effort now 'substantially complete'
A pedestrian walks past sigs for Home Trust Co., a subsidiary of Home Capital Group Inc., outside the company's headquarters in Toronto.
Cole Burston/Bloomberg
Published October 2, 2017 Updated October 2, 2017
Home Capital Group Inc. slashed about 65 full-time jobs on Monday as the company wraps up a plan to reduce the mortgage lender's annual spending by $15-million.
Since February, an initiative dubbed Project Expo has focused on shrinking the struggling mortgage lender's head count, office space and other operating costs as the company attempts to rebound from a run on deposits that threatened its viability earlier this year.
That project is now "substantially" complete, the company said on Monday, and is expected to meet its $15-million savings target. The jobs were eliminated from the operational, sales and underwriting division.
Having survived a period of crisis brought on by concerns about disclosure of apparent fraud among its network of brokers, Home Capital believes it has entered a new phase of its recovery. A more stable base of deposits is allowing the lender to gradually increase the flow of new loans it underwrites. But its staff is 10 per cent smaller than it was on June 30, and the company is still crafting a new strategy to wrestle its funding costs down to more manageable levels.
Home Capital booked $9.7-million in restructuring expenses in the first half of the year, and does not expect to record "any further significant expenses," according to a news release.
However, the company has just lost a key executive. Greg Parker left last week to join rival lender Street Capital Group Inc., less than three months after assuming a newly created post as Home Capital's head of strategy.
The job of crafting a new strategy falls to Yousry Bissada, who took over as chief executive officer in early August. He is leading a revamped management team that includes a new chief financial officer, Brad Kotush, who will assume Mr. Parker's responsibilities.
"We have taken important steps to ensure we achieve a more efficient cost structure, and we are now firmly focused on crafting and executing a strategy for Home Capital that will drive our growth as one of Canada's leading alternative mortgage providers," Mr. Bissada said in a statement.
The company has enjoyed renewed confidence among investors and depositors since Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the firm led by value investor Warren Buffett, became Home Capital's largest shareholder in June. But last month, shareholders rejected a proposal that would have allowed Berkshire to deepen its ties to the Canadian firm by buying another large tranche of discounted shares.
Home Capital also faces continued uncertainty as Canada's banking regulator considers tightening the rules on mortgage underwriting, including introducing tougher stress tests for uninsured mortgages. The company has said the new rules, if made law, could have a material impact on its business.

Public Defender's Statement on Restriction of Journalist's Professional Activities
The Public Defender of Georgia is echoing the cases of restriction of attendance at the session of the Parliament of Georgia for Telara Gelantia, editor-in-chief of the BM.GE media agency.
Telara Gelantia reported about the obstruction of her professional activities and coverage of the governmental session on September 12, 2022. According to her, representative of the press service of the Administration of the Government of Georgia named the fact that she had violated the rules, had been asking too many questions and thus hindering her colleagues as the reason for banning her from attending the session. Unlike Telara Gelantia, the cameraman accompanying her did not have a problem attending the session. Telara Gelantia was not allowed to attend the governmental session on September 26 either.
Unfortunately, in the recent period, the trend of not allowing and/or not inviting representatives of critical media to briefings or municipal events organized by certain state agencies has been repeatedly observed, which the Public Defender assesses as a practice that contradicts the principle of equality.[1]
The Public Defender emphasizes the special function of the media to disseminate information of public interest and to promote informed public debates on issues that are a necessary prerequisite for the involvement of each of members of society in public life. The existence of critical media is a necessary condition in the process of self-determination of society and formation of a democratic state. The Public Defender considers the cases of preventing journalists from carrying out their professional activities as an alarming trend and believes that this poses a threat to the media pluralism and has a negative impact on the country's democratic processes.
The Public Defender calls on the authorities to ensure unhindered access to information for media representatives, including to give journalists the opportunity to attend governmental meetings and ask their desired questions, in compliance with the principle of equality.
The Public Defender continues monitoring the restriction of Telara Gelantia's attendance at governmental meetings, as well as the situation of professional activities of media representatives.

Some highlights included a Britten V1000, 1 of only 10 ever built. If you wanted one, you'd probably need at least a million dollars, and then you'd need to wait about a million years until one of the current owners finally decided to sell.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, for anyone who doesn't remember the excitement around the time in the early 90s when Britten launched this bike, just for sake of comparison.
Great pics as always, Nev.
Why is Jo sitting down in almost all your photos?
We spent a day in Queenstown as tourists.
Queenstown is very touristy. Everything revolves around the tourism industry. I'd hate to be a local, because everything costs tourist prices here.
We went for a ride up in the Gondola to the Queenstown Skyline. From here you can do paragliding, bungee jumping or ride on the luge. All of these at extravagant prices. We just had morning tea in the cafe and enjoyed the free vistas across the lake.
At the bottom of the gondola we visited the Kiwi wildlife park.
It's almost impossible to see a kiwi in the wild in NZ and even in a couple of places we've visited which have kiwi enclosures and birds in captivity it's almost impossible to view them up close, but this establishment did have an enclosure which encouraged the kiwis to make themselves be seen without feeling vulnerable.
Day 9 Queenstown to Lake Hawea.
We got off to a fairly early start, and headed straight up to Coronet Peak. Near the top we took the Skippers Canyon turnoff. The road was very slippery. There was grading in progress and it looked like some sections had been visited by the grader just before our arrival.
When we got to the bottom of the canyon, the location of the Welcome Home Hotel (or at least the location of the chimney which remains) Jo let me know she wasn't having much fun on this road, so we turned back and headed back up the hill. It was good timing really, because near the top we hit the first few 4wd of the morning heading down into the canyon, and after we reached the top there was a steady stream of minibusses and 4wds full of tourists heading down.
Then we continued up the mountain to the Coronet Peak skifields. There was no skiing going on, but the adventure sports were in full swing. We were there for about 15 minutes and watched 2 hang gliders and 1 parasailer (each being tandem units with a paying customer strapped in) launch off the side of the mountain.
Back down the mountian and we turned left towards Arrowtown. We stopped for morning tea at a cafe set up in the paddock where the paragliders and hang gliders and tandem skydivers land.
On both of my previous riding trips through this area I've headed north over Crown Range to Wanaka, so today we continued east and south to Cromwell, through Cromwell Gorge and down to Alexandra where we lunched before taking the return trip up through Cromwell Gorge to Cromwell again.
Past Lake Dunstan and further north to Lake Hawea where were spent a relaxing afternoon in the shade of the trees by the lake in the caravan park.


Mornings soothes or rubs. This morning it is the latter. It is wise advice not to go to bed irritated. It is easier said than done though. I'm trying to soothe myself with another cup of tea. I'm trying to erase my self irritation by leaving them on the page. I hate getting caught unawares by some unseen and unknown cyber troll. I'm trying not to dwell on the reasons why people do things like that – for monetary gains or the pleasure of disturbing my sleep.
Beware of strange emails. The senders of such understand human nature very well – our innate curiosity, the need to understand and frustration of not understanding and the inability of opening an attachment. Well, it was late in the evening. I did a million clicks on it. I hope I did no harm to my computer. I have an Apple after all. That is my small comfort. I have confirmed that the email was spam and not from Fedex. My package will not be sent back to the shipper.
I think I need a cup of coffee now and to do another embroidery on my Bernina. It's better than gnashing my teeth. But I better do some qigong to rid some bad thoughts and energy.
It is snowing gently. It is a soothing kind of afternoon. I'm glad. Yesterday rubbed me all day long. I'm ready for some flow and relaxation. I'm happy to sit here with my decaf and mumble on my keyboard. My body is feeling the fatigue of a good workout at our step aerobics class this morning. It's good for keeping my stress and cortisol levels low. It helps for a good night's sleep. It's healthy self-love.
What do you do for self-love? I have to keep reminding myself what is good and what is harmful. I'm listening better now. I'm resisting the urges of the instant gratification of blowing steam, choice words and actions. Much better to count to 10 to myself and wait a second or two. I'm surprised at how fast I CAN turn around, feel and do different and better.
It is almost 2 pm. I have a bit of time to set up another embroidery motif for my table cloth. I am getting intimate with my Bernina. We're past the coffee stage at last. Well, it will be a year since I bought it home.

I love the image of the snow outside your window. I am sitting on my verandah at 9.18am, luxuriating in the cool breeze that is blowing. It is too hot to stay inside. As always, you express your thoughts in such a beautiful and coherent way that it is a pleasure to read. The photos of your embroidery are a bonus. I find sewing a great way to de-stress but my sewing is at the very basic level. Lately I have indulged in converting old skirts into something a little more modern. I like that I can use the hems that are already there, and with a few cuts and a seam or two, I have a new skirt. I think the environment will be pleased as well – less manufacturing than buying a new one.
Thanks Maureen. Our seasons are the opposite. It warms me just picturing you sitting on the verandah. I haven't done sewing for a long time. I used to sew just clothes. My embroidery is a new thing. It took me almost a year after I got my new machine to get going. I'm using my old stash of material I've collected over the years. I have a stash of yarns, too.
Your embroidery is beautiful!!! I'm swimming now and like you many days just want to roll over and be a couch potato! There are days I just can't get going. I am loving it once I get into the pool. Since I've been swimming my blood sugars are near normal so I have to keep it up😉 I get that fedex garbage mail all the time not to mention all the Robo Calls!! My patience is running thin!!!!
Thanks Terry. I swim every Saturday morning. I'm almost quarantined a lane to myself. It's a good incentive to go. Still Friday evening I think about how nice it would be to stay at home. When I get up to go to the bathroom I think about not going. Somehow I make myself and it's always feel so wonderful when I get there. My sinuses somehow don't like it if I go more often. So I do aerobics 3x/wk. I'm glad you are enjoying your swimming.
The Fedex caught me at exactly when I was expecting a package. I wish most people would get a like. My partner got scammed a couple of times thru emails. Had his savings account cleaned out and things charged on his account. Good thing they were covered by bank and credit card insurance.

Q: The help systems return "help provider not available" I'm using visual studio code to program in R and I have recently had trouble using the ?func and ??func command.
When typing something like ?rnorm, the message Couldn't show help for path: /library/stats/html/Normal.html  shows up. The path is there and I'm sure R is in the path environment. This is really boggling me.
When I first installed R it was working absolutely fine in VSC but now it does not work. However the function works in the R shell. When I try to navigate to the R extension and click on "Help Topics by Package" it says help provider not available.
The packages/html files are there, but VSC doesn't want to access them.
Please advise what I can do to solve this.

A: I solved the same issue by checking my environmental variables. The steps I followed:

*

*I added the bin installation file (C:\R\R-4.1.3\bin in my case, or C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.3\bin) to the path in my user environmental variables. If you have an admin account, then you have to add the bin folder to the system environmental variables.

*Check if you can start a R console from any terminal.

*If that is positive, then in the Rpath settings for the R extension in vscode write r, or in the settings.json: "r.rpath.windows":"r"

*Restart vscode. Check if the help pages are working.

Hope this helps ! Cheers.

A: This happened to me as well. I googled and tried different things and this works for me:
You need to provide the Rpath for the system you are using in the settings for the vscode R package. For example, for a windows machine, you need C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.3\bin\x64\R.exe there if you installed the latest R using the default settings, and similarly for other systems.
Hope it helps!

Villa Pretty F**ked, Deny Being Pretty F**ked
Randy... Lerning it's not so easy (Img: Jonesy702)
Aston Villa are pretty f**ked, according to latest figures.
The Midlands giants, struggling, yesterday announced a loss of £53.9m for the last financial year, calling into question the wisdom of owner Randy Lerner's policies of letting players choose their own wages and making managerial appointments based on the advice of a "a little blue alien called Small Heath that only I can see – he's kinda like The Great Gazoo but with a Birmingham accent, and he likes to swipe hamburgers away from my mouth just as I'm about to take a bite".
While Martin O'Neill was roundly praised for spending a small fortune on finishing just below Everton, the Villa Park faithful will be disappointed to learn that his 2010 resignation triggered a clause in his contract which stipulated that he was entitled to a solid gold house, a fully operational replica of the Batmobile and Emile Heskey's first born son if he suddenly decided that he couldn't be arsed with it all any more and left the club in the lurch.
Villa's chief financial officer Robin Russell said: "Given the challenging economic environment, we're absolutely super-stoked at announcing record losses, especially at a time when things are going so well for us on the pitch.
"The board of Aston Villa are confident that the actions taken since the end of the 2010-11 financial year have galvanised the long-term sustainability of the club and have also given us a better financial platform on which to build for future mind-numbing mediocrity and stockpiling of permanently injured midfielders on massive wages.
"Our objectives are to compete sporadically on the pitch and to achieve sustainability as well as compliance with Uefa's Financial Fair Play requirements, not that there's anything particularly unfair to other clubs about investing millions of pounds into sinking ever lower out of contention."
McLeish: Mentioned
Curtis Davies, Habib Beye, Luke Young, Marlon Harewood, Carlos Cuellar, Fabian Delph, Nigel Reo-Coker, Nicky Shorey, Shaun Maloney, Wayne Routledge, Moustapha Salifou, Didier Agathe and Steve Sidwell said: "F**k do I care? I've been to Disneyland so many times now that Mickey Mouse and I are pen pals."
Alex McLeish said: "You should probably mention me in the article at some point, if just for the sake of key words."

"Shutting schools is not cool": Parents, school children stage demonstration demanding reopening of schools
Jugnu Grewal Almeida said, "The schools (in Gurgaon) were closed on account of severe pollution. Now that the air quality is relatively better, schools should open."
By: Express News Service | Gurgaon |
Besides, the NDMC is also upgrading 45 Atal Adharsh Vidyalaya and Navyug Schools with new labs, library, scientific teaching techniques, classrooms and staff rooms and other infrastructure. (File)
A group of parents and school children staged a demonstration at Galleria market in DLF Phase 4 on Tuesday demanding the reopening of schools in Gurgaon. Parents said that for over 21 months, the children had not been to school — on account of the pandemic and now pollution — which was a grave concern for their mental health.
Anju Kapur, a city-based lawyer, said, "Everything else — malls, wedding venues, offices — are open. Why should the schools be closed? It seems that the government has no policy on how to tackle pollution, which is a recurring problem. It has been 21 months since the children have been to school properly. First, it was due to Covid and now because of pollution. For a brief period, the schools opened, and now they have shut again. The children want to go out and meet their friends. We have been approaching the authorities requesting them to open the schools."
A group of over 30 parents and children, carrying placards that read, "Shutting schools is not answer to pollution", "We want our children #Back to school", "We want schools, not screens", "I want to go to school please", "Shutting schools is not cool" held a demonstration at the market for half an hour on Tuesday evening.

Jugnu Grewal Almeida said, "The schools were closed on account of severe pollution. Now that the air quality is relatively better, schools should open. Pollution is the same in homes as well. In fact, some schools have now installed air purifiers and are better equipped. For close to two years, the children have been studying online through screens. It takes a toll on their mental health. Children have forgotten how to socialize. The government should leave it to the schools to decide whether to call students or not."
On December 3, the Haryana Government had ordered the closure of all schools in four districts neighbouring Delhi – Gurgaon, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjar – until further orders due to deteriorating air quality in the NCR. Schools had earlier been shut in the four districts from November 14-17 due to pollution. The CAQM had extended the closure on November 17. A week later on November 25, the deputy commissioner of Gurgaon had issued an order stating all educational institutions in the district shall reopen from November 26.

Chhabi Khare, said, "There is no logic as to why the schools should remain closed on the pretext of pollution. Isn't pollution everywhere? It is difficult for working parents to manage the tasks with children studying from home for such a long time. We had been discussing that schools should open in our WhatsApp group and decided to organise this small demonstration here today."

Myra Kapur Dutta, a class 12 student, said that she has not been to school since December 2019. "At the time, we were given preparatory leaves for board exams. Since the onset of the pandemic, schools were shut indefinitely. I think schools should open now considering that Covid cases across NCR are relatively lower and pollution is also not as severe as it was a few weeks ago."

Designing a Mars Rover
There's a lot to think about!
The ExoMars' key mission objective is to look for life or conditions for life – that's fossilised organic materials, gases like methane and water or at least signs of water.
So designing robots for Mars is a big job – they have a lot of work to do – and they'll be up there all alone.
There's a number of key skills a robot will need to have…
Communication between scientists on Earth and the robots on Mars is going to be very important. This is done with satellites – but because of the distance from Earth to Mars, it can be a bit tricky.
Managing in the environment
There's lots of natural things which can cause humans, not least robots, to have to work hard. The temperature on Mars is much colder than on Earth – as much as minus 70 degrees at night. It's also VERY dusty, which can cause problems for the instruments. And then there's quite a lot of radiation.
All the very delicate gadgets and computer technology that the robot will use, well Mars will pose quite a challenge.
And with no nice roads to travel along, our robot needs to be pretty tough. It will need really tough wheels – you don't want a flat tyre out there!
Navigation is also something to think about – the robot needs to choose its own route rather than waiting for commands from Earth. That's because of the time delay in sending signals to Mars from Earth, and also because the Rover will have a better view of what's around it – and any obstacles.
Powering the Rover
Another thing that the designers have to think about is how to power your robot. You can't take power sources to Mars – they'd be too bulky and possibly dangerous – so solar panels will be used to power the robots. But remember that dust? Not great for solar panels!
Landing on Mars
Humans have sent over 40 missions to Mars to date – and more than 50% of them have ended in failure. Problems in landing account for most of these failures – and you can imagine how devastating that is – after all the work done!
So as you can see, there are lots of things to think about before you even start building a rover. Next time we'll see how scientists can tackle some of these problems down in the Deep Space High Robotics lab!

Law Society vs Gopalan Nair, latest
Latest is as follows.
The Tribunal still refuses to forward the court transcripts for my Singapore High Court and Singapore Subordinate Court 2008 cases.
They suddenly changed their position on December 10, 2009 and have said they will release them to a courier company but that I have to pay for them.
Since they have changed their position on this, I had on Dec 16, 2009 asked for an extension of time for filing the List of documents due on Jan 7, 2010, and further proceedings and trial dates to be vacated until I receive the transcripts and had time to peruse them.
They have flatly refused to reply to my letter.
They have flatly refused to provide the audio recordings in the Singapore High Court.
The Tribunal earlier simply refused to advise if I have permission to enter Singapore and demanded that I deal with the Immigration and Customs Department in Singapore.
Suddenly they did another U turn. On December 10, 2009 the Tribunal wrote to Marilyn Tan of the Immigration and Customs Department asking them to assist in my application to re-enter Singapore since my deportation from the island. I am, as you know, now banned from entering Singapore.
Up till now there is no news from either the Immigration authorities or the Tribunal on my travel situation. I do not know if I can enter Singapore, whether I will be arrested if I did and confined at government expense in the Changi Prison beside the Singapore Airport.
And all this, according to Lee Kuan Yew is none other than Singapore, the first world paradise in the tropics.

"Try the boat. She's great in any weather, sailed her many a time. Have a good trip" sdaid the ex-Admiral-No.66.
Well I can tell you that here in Loughborough, on the Great Union Canal, we have our own "Stone Boat." A friend came to pay us a visit last year, he is a fan of Prisoner, so the wife and I took him along the Great Union Canal to show him the "Stone Boat."
He looked, and looked, and looked, but failed to see the said Stone Boat which was right in front of him, so we actually pointed it out to him the Stone Boat - "T.S. Venomous."
Point Of Observation
Apart from two specific instances, in Arrival when he's laying out the Prisoner's breakfast, and during 'The Schizoid Man' when he's giving No.2 a massage, the butler never takes off his gloves!
If No.1 is supposed to be the alter-ego of No.6, the darker side to his nature, then I should think that No.1 knew the reason behind the Prisoner's resignation long before he was brought to the Village. But having brought the Prisoner-No.6 to the Village, perhaps for darker motivations, so as to break his alter-ego in No.6. So as to stop his resigning from the Village in the first place.
Free for All - When this episode was first broadcast in Great Britain, the violent scene near the end - in which Number Six is badly beaten up in the cave where men sit worshipping the Village Guardian, or being indoctrinated by it, by two mechanics - was not aired. The scene now included in most broadcasts, is on Video and DVD. It is a remarkable scene, primarily because of this strange "Rover" cult. In no other episode will Villagers interact with "Rover" in such a mysterious way. The ritual is never explained.
'The Chimes of Big Ben' - The surprise but inevitable ending makes the viewer re-think what has transpired during the episode. Nadia was a plant, something No.6 would later be accused of in the series, Number Six's escape was encouraged by The Village authorities in order to extract information. The location of The Village remains uncertain. However, we know now that two of Number Six's former British ex-colleagues, are not only aware of his incarceration, but are actively involved in it.
'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling' - This is the only episode that has any affectionate embrace between No.6 and a woman. That's as maybe, but Number Six's mind is supposed to be housed in another mans body, and so it's not Patrick McGoohan in the embrace, but Nigel Stock. Lucky for McGoohan as he had a problem with physical intimacy on-screen, unlucky you might say for Zena Walker!

I find it is usually easier to dance than speak words, do you? Dancing seems to merge our dreaming with our feelings. Dance seems to be the first language for a child. Babies do their wriggles before they can speak.
I believe we all break into random dance without realising it. This has nothing to do with being great supple dancers. Dance is as much of a language if we are stiff, robotic, and do not seem to be in time with anything. When we do dance we are certainly in tune with something.
Vibration urges us to dance. Vibration that may not be heard, may not be seen, but it is there and we dance to it.
Dancing is not just limited to moving to groovy music.
Sunlight during the rising sun often inspires me to dance. This is not a burst into some frenzied idiot dancing but a subtle skippiness in my legs, arms, and other body movements.
I think bright morning sunlight infects many of us like that, especially if it seems to be dancing through branches of trees, especially if the tree branches are also dancing in breeze.
I find that a sunrise morning dance also provokes imagery. Its as if the sun rays take on an image of a person joining in the dance.
Allowing that impulse to be free to be, rather than siting and clouding ourselves with a 'this is daft' attitude, it is wonderful for setting the intent for the day. That morning light dance is an overall joy for the day happening.
Its like a charge from feet through to head, the passionate connection to all that is happening around us. A wonderful feeling of nourished oneness. The perfect breakfast.
A morning experience like that, confirms that life spirit is present. We may call it god, goddess, visiting angel, or not bother to name it ebut let it be.
From these sunrise breakfast dances we may discover we use dancing during other parts of the day to shift gears, to express feelings, integrate our surroundings to ourselves and flow in a stream of intent.
Dancing can help us to get things done, or help us make decisions. Often, dancing is more effective than meditative silence. Dancing can also be silence as body movements replace the chattering mind.
Recently, through an illness that kept me in bed for over two months, I used this time to explore sound, and through the few minutes without pain every hour or two I built an over the bed recording studio. With the equipment being so small these days this is possible.
as sound caused me to ignore and overcome pain.
It seemed obvious to create ambient meditation type of Music, and I did that for a few days. But in bed I was missing dancing, as I do a lot of dancing in the kitchen while preparing food.
So I started messing about with basic beats then creating all kinds of percussive loops and putting ambient melodies over them.
That was actually more effective for pain relief. An infected leg that I could not move, was moving a lot when the headphones were on playing back the beats I had created.
Beat motivating movement was confirmed as a subconscious process, then. No way was I focused on the beat and my movement to it. It was all an unexplained synchronisation sensation.
Each time this happened there was no pain but energy build up, and very strong prophetic visuals, as strong as out of body experiences I have had.
After 'awaking' from those twilight zone dance experiences, the 'enlightenment' was on how this sound synthesis is wonderful directed onto parts of our body and mind that needs healing. It was ultra strong medicine.
Sound therapists with their talking bowls, gongs, drums, rattles, tuning forks, harps, etc. have known this for thousands of years. I have friends who provide these services and they all have amazing integrity and connection with what they do.
Sound therapy is not something I have worked with much, well not with instruments. I have shared sound experiences with tree sounds, birds, water and similar. I must admit that I do introduce the percussive vibrations of these sounds, though.
Where it is percussive there is dance.
What I worked with, in the healing bed, was digital and electronic sound generation. I was using sound samples of real instruments rather than directly using real instruments. It did work very well for my circumstances, though. That surprised me!
A 2019 project is to get more crystal bowls into the labyrinth gardens. I did vow not to include items mined from the earth. Maybe wooden drums and flutes are more ethical, replaceable and sustainable? I will brood on this further. What do you think about when you consider crystal bowls?
I have been reminded how sound, vibrations, have been the language of consciousness through the hearts of tribes since the birth of humanity, and 'spoken' through dance.
If we have evolved through primates, watch how monkeys, chimpanzees and apes dance to express themselves. It's an honour to be somehow related to them.
While traveling through North America I met tribes people who danced for rain, for love, courtship, and sexual fertility. Some danced sequenced dances with each dancer representing something from the sky such as sun, moon, mars, a comet maybe, shooting stars. With these dancers they dance orbits around each other, to be as the sky.
All of these tribal dances seem to unite the dancers into a groove, egos surrendered and individualism dissolved. From that grounded groove, they travel off into ecstasy.
I have not been to African countries so my experience of their 'dance' is from immigrants, documentaries and YouTubes.
African dances seem to be very focused on work and hunting. A lot of dancing before they go off to either, to get their mojos and spirits lifted. African dances seem to be very nurturing for their people. They are very inclusive of onlookers who they are eager to lure to join in.
A lot of bardic archiving wrapped up in their dances too.
expressing the consciousness and becoming archive too.
As for white folks dancing, Scottish ceilidh dancing, sean nós dancing, set dancing, social dancing, line dancing, jive dancing, salsa, what are they all about?
Its fun, I love it, dancing with intent of order, yet we can still make it swing and become a consciousness language, and mating language too.
The moral of my rant here, if there is one, is dance when you can no matter how disabled and stiff we are. So dance we must. Dance for the provisions of each season, and dance for no reason.
There will be more dancing at our Fire Dance Garden and other Labyrinth Gardens at Carrowcrory this year. Dancing is among our poetry performance and storytelling too.
How, when and where do you dance?
What visions does this awaken you to, and what wellness does this nourish?

On the Microscopical Structure of some British Tertiary and Post-tertiary Freshwater Marls and Limestones
H. C. Sorby
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, 9, 344-346, 1 February 1853, https://doi.org/10.1144/GSL.JGS.1853.009.01-02.50
The author first described the general conclusions he had arrived at with respect to the condition of the mineral portion of calcareous organisms, which he considered is first deposited in the form of crystalline granules of variable size, that afterwards undergo more or less of crystalline coalescence. In some cases this scarcely occurs at all; but in others it does to a very considerable extent during the life of the organism, and this produces a great difference in the character of the particles into which it is resolved by decay. The falling to powder that then takes place is the result of the oxidization and removal of the organic portion, and, if no crystalline coalescence had occurred, the shell or other body might be resolved into the very minute, ultimate, crystalline granules; whereas, if much coalescence had taken place, it would break up into much larger ones, showing in many instances its minute organic structure.
The particular forms of the particles into which the Limnæans and Paludinæ, found so plentifully in many freshwater marls, are resolved by decay, were then described and shown to present such definite characters as to render it easy to distinguish them with certainty from most others at all likely to occur in them. Soft loose marls can of course be investigated by mixing the particles in water; but thin sections of harder limestones must be prepared, and the facts which may be learned from them are in many respects very superior, and from them the

Rivals believe England are big threat at World Cup – Kane
England captain and striker Harry Kane insisted Gareth Southgate's men can cause problems at the World Cup.

Harry Kane said rival nations see England as a threat at the World Cup after he urged his team to believe ahead of the Russia showpiece.
England captain Kane was on target in Saturday's 2-1 win over Nigeria at Wembley in their penultimate match before the World Cup.
Not since 1966 have England won the World Cup following the country's group-stage exit in 2014.
However, star striker Kane insisted Gareth Southgate's men can cause problems at the tournament.
"A lot of countries do believe that England are a big threat in the World Cup," the Tottenham forward said.
"For some reason, not a lot of us or not a lot of us believe in it. But, I've said before it's going to be very tough, that's no doubt about it, it's a World Cup.
"But you have to believe, you have to have that feeling that you can win it. Obviously there is a long way to go, but yeah, we've just got to do what we done today.
"We play like that against any team in the world we are going to cause them problems, so that's what we've got to try and do."
England will face Costa Rica in Leeds on Thursday before going head-to-head with Tunisia (June 18), Panama (June 24) and Belgium (June 28) in Group G at the World Cup.
Nigeria skipper John Obi Mikel, meanwhile, believes England's pace and energy can carry them to the semi-finals.
"I think they have a very good chance of going all the way," the former Chelsea midfielder said. "I do think because the youthfulness, the energy in this team you can feel it.
"I think the pace in the team you can feel it. I think that's why we had some problems in the first half, I think the second half we corrected some mistakes and we played a lot better. So, I think the England team have a good chance of getting the quarters, even the semis I think."

Q: Js replace slashes in string I have url that i need to change to a valid slashes.
var url = data\14/loto/posts.json

I need this to change to this:
data/14/loto/posts.json

But this is not working:
url.replace('\', '/');

A: In JS, you need to escape backslashes, because they are normally escape characters themselves.
url.replace('\\', '/');
Additionally, if you want to escape multiple backslashes in the same string, use a regex literal with the g flag, "g" standing for "global".
url.replace(/\\/g, '/');

A: Should be
var url = "data\\14/loto/posts.json" // "\\" is because slash should be escaped, otherwise your url isn't a valid string
url = url.replace(/\\/g, '/');
