Shooting Range Owner Indicted For Illegal Firearms Sales
RENO, Nev. – A federally-licensed firearms dealer and owner of an indoor shooting range in Reno, Nev., was indicted today by the federal grand jury on charges that he unlawfully sold multiple firearms, including guns with obliterated serial numbers and machine guns, to undercover ATF agents at his business in April and May 2014, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada and Joseph M. Riehl, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"Federally licensed firearms dealers are entrusted to uphold federal laws pertaining to the importation, manufacture and sales of firearms," said U.S. Attorney Bogden. "We will be especially vigilant in our investigations and prosecutions of firearm dealers who consciously choose to violate these laws."
James David Harwin, 59, of Reno, is charged in a six-count federal indictment with one count of illegal sale by a federally licensed dealer to an out-of-state resident, one count of possession of a firearm with an obliterated, removed or altered serial number, three counts of transfer of a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act, and one count of obliteration, alteration, or removal of the serial number of a firearm. Harwin, who was previously charged by criminal complaint, is currently in federal custody, and is scheduled for an arraignment and plea on June 12, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison on the illegal sale charge and up to 10 years in prison on each of the other five counts, as well as fines of up to $250,000 on each count.
According to the allegations in the criminal complaint and indictment, James Harwin and Safe Shot LLC possessed a Federal Firearms License to manufacture and sell firearms. Safe Shot LLC did business as the Safe Shot Indoor Shooting Range, located at 9425 Double R Boulevard in Reno. On or about April 17, 2014, Harwin unlawfully sold four handguns to two undercover ATF agents who told Harwin they were residents of Sacramento, Calif. One of the handguns had an obliterated serial number. On May 2, 2014, Harwin sold a machine gun with an obliterated serial number to the undercover ATF agents, and on May 29, 2014, Harwin unlawfully sold a Street Sweeper shotgun and three machine guns to the undercover agents. Harwin removed the serial numbers on one of the machine guns in the presence of the undercover agents.
"ATF is charged with ensuring compliance of all applicable laws and regulations as it relates to licensed federal firearms dealers," said Special Agent in Charge Riehl. "We will aggressively pursue those individuals, including federally licensed dealers who try to circumvent and violate the federal firearms laws, in an effort to protect the public and prevent unlawful machine guns and other firearms from getting into the hands of criminals."
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Megan Rachow and investigated by ATF.
The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

In recent years, graphic novels have exploded in popularity. They are everywhere. And kids are excited about reading them. When I look at the circulation statistics in my K-5 library, graphic novels are some of the most checked out titles. El Deafo, Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Smile, and The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Evil Penguin Plan are just a few that fly off the shelves on a regular basis. Roller Girl, a 2016 Newbery Honor Book, is another one. Based on this information, one would think that educators and parents would be wholly supportive of their students and children reading these books. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Many parents and educators view graphic novels as glorified comic strips. They don't believe that these books are quality pieces of literature. I've had students tell me that their parents won't let them read graphic novels because they're "not real books." I've also had classroom teachers encourage their students to select "real books" and not graphic novels when they visit the school library. For all of the nay-sayers, I'd like to set the record straight. Graphic novels are REAL BOOKS. They are full length stories told in paneled, sequential, graphic format. They are NOT simply collections of comic strips. Many genres are written in graphic novel format, including fantasy, realistic fiction, historical fiction, biography, and nonfiction. They are NOT all about superheroes, nor do they all include scantily clad characters.
Graphic novels promote literacy in a variety of ways. They attract and motivate kids to read. The same titles can appeal to both reluctant and advanced readers. The illustrations provide struggling readers and ESL students with contextual clues to access the meaning of the written text. Graphic novels can offer students opportunities to read about diverse characters. As a school librarian, I want to help each of my students find a book they will love. For a variety of reasons, some students can't get excited about picture books, chapter books, novels, or poetry. However, these students may fall in love with reading if they're introduced to graphic novels. We owe it to our students to help them discover the joy of reading.
There are many resources available to help you select the best graphic novels for your collections. The ALA's Association for Library Service to Children has compiled recommended reading lists of graphic novels, broken up by age level.
Here are some other graphic novels that are worth checking out.
I was recently awarded a grant by the Southington American Legion Auxiliary to purchase 50 new graphic novels for my library. My students were thrilled when I shared this news with them. I'm hoping this grant will shine a light on the importance of graphic novels and help the entire school community recognize the value they bring to our collection.
What have your experiences been with parents, educators, and graphic novels?
I have been in education for the past 15 years. Currently, I am the K-5 Library Media Specialist at Thalberg Elementary School in Southington, Connecticut. Prior to that, I taught kindergarten, first grade, and third grade. I am also a picture book author. My first book, PIXIE'S ADVENTURE, is coming out in early 2017 from eTreasures Publishing. More than anything, I LOVE to read! I also love skiing and cheering for the best team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox!
You are so right on with my own discoveries with graphic novels. Over 10 years ago I was teaching a graduate children's literature course and challenged a couple students who were active librarians. One public school, one public young adult librarian to do a little research in their perspective settings on graphic novel usage.
The public school librarian had a few on a rotating cart at the time. She began observing their usage. Most kids read them in school and never checked them out. Why? Parents disapproved as mentioned in your blog. One student actually said his father would always take them so he could read them. What this reaction did for the school librarian was convince her to buy more and ultimately did workshops in the school district for other librarians to get graphic novels in their libaries.
The city young adult librarian did a search on usage records in their checkout system. What she discovered was quite surprising. Out of all books including adult books, graphic novels had the highest checkout rate. She also discovered they were read by teens and adults. Fast forward a few years and their collection has grown immensely and they host an annual Comic-Con. Having attending since the inception I mark this year as a turning point as many adult comic readers came out of the closet and found a new home at the event.
We still have a little work to do with parents and I take every opportunity when I am speaking at schools, parent groups, library and teacher conferences to let them know the benefits of graphic novels. After all they are the bridge between media and print. Happy Reading…Stan Steiner, the Bookman.
Thank you for posting this! The simplest way to make them more legitimate, I think, is to read them ourselves and talk about how much *we* enjoy them with students, parents, community members, etc.
Y'know how those TV commercials used to call cereal "part of a complete breakfast?" That's what I think of when I think about graphic novels. Part of a complete reading diet.
Great supportive article. Texas Library Association selects 2 graphic novel recommended reading lists each year-The Mavericks, and The Little Mavericks. http://www.txla.org/groups/Maverick http://www.txla.org/groups/little-maverick-graphic-novel-reading-list.
When I started working at my current school, the previous librarian scoffed at adding a graphic novel section to the collection. The instant I stepped into the librarian position I ordered as many graphic novels as my budget could bear, and I've been adding to it ever since. As you say, they are the most checked out books in the place, and getting a teenager to read ANYTHING can be a challenge. Graphic novels provide advanced vocabulary and sentence structure as well. Thank you so much for validating my thoughts!
I have recently started at a new school and the graphic section is so sad. But I have already sent in my first order and plan to do so each year. I'm including the "Graphic Novel growth", as one of my goals as I write my new collection development plan. Does anyone have a % of Graphics that you would suggest for middle school? I would like to provide some numbers and % for my admin team.


Jay Farrar still can't say Jeff Tweedy's name | Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?
His prose, like his songs, is a touch too serious, and at times the book seems stiff. But it's clearly Jay's voice. There's no question in my mind he wrote this without the help of a ghostwriter. The anecdotes, about his early interest in music, his mom and dad (Pops Farrar) and other family members, seem authentic. But they're a bit sterile at the same time, almost as if he's written a book to satisfy the fans and others who want to get a piece of him without actually surrendering his inner self.
While it's a little curious, it seems consistent with the Jay I met when I interviewed him on the earliest days of Son Volt — a friendly and honest, but cautious and extremely private, guy.
So if you turn to the book for major insights, revelations and serious dirt, you'll be disappointed. In fact, if you're interested in knowing what Jay thinks about his music, how he makes it or what motivates him to create it, you'll be unsatisfied, too.
Even so, the stories he tells of growing up in a relatively poor family in the Midwest says a lot about why he became the man he is.
I have to admit that Jeff Tweedy was the reason I picked up the book. I wanted, finally, to know how Jay felt about his longtime friend and cofounder in Uncle Tupelo, who took most of Tupelo's members with him to create the extremely popular Wilco.
He mentions the band by name for the first time nearly halfway through the book, and only twice more after that.
The junkyard-ethos era with my father continued on through my early twenties, till I had enough money to buy a car outside of the salvage realm. I was in a touring band then, in the early 1990s. The last junkyard sojourn with my father was on the same day I left that touring band for the second time. The first time was when the bass player woke up my girlfriend, who was sleeping on the back equipment van bench, to profess his love for her while I was in charge of driving up front. The reason for leaving the band the aforementioned second time was for artistic and band direction differences of opinion. I spoke the words, "I have the desire to be your friend. It's just not possible in the context of this band." The bass player responded with belligerent vitriol. I walked away … Even then I was aware that nothing in the world could be more pathetic than two guys throwing punches in the early afternoon in a decrepit apartment on Eleventh Street in Belleville, Illinois.
I have to admit that I was on Team Jay after the breakup. He struck me as the more mature and genuine artist of the two, someone interested in making something more than just party music. And Jeff's legendarily bad treatment of members of Wilco, including Jay Bennett, pushed me further into Jay's corner.
made it easy for me to dismiss him for awhile.
My opinion of Jeff has changed as he grew as an artist and got his head on straighter and his demons under some semblance of control. Wilco's Solid Sound Festival, every edition of which I've attended over the last four years, did a lot to bolster Jeff's image in my mind.
While I'm still on Team Jay, I've become very open to Jeff and see him as equally brilliant — and obviously more successful, whatever that means.
In the end, Jay's book really seems to show that he hasn't grown as much as Jeff. And, I think, until he comes to grips with his feelings a bit more directly, Jay's art, sadly, will always take a backseat to Jeff's.
This entry was posted in Books, Country, Folk, Music, Pop and Rock, Recordings and tagged Falling Cars and Junkyard Dogs, Jay Bennett, Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, MASS MoCA, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, Pops Farrar, Solid Sound Festival, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Wilco. Bookmark the permalink.
Whether he meant it or not, those lines reflect Farrar's own musical journey, which has remained committed to his traditionalist roots. Obsessives of Uncle Tupelo, a band more famous now than during its active years, will likely seek out this book for crumbs explaining Farrar's split with co-founder Jeff Tweedy, who went on to front Wilco.
Jay Bennett didn't commit suicide. His death was an accidental overdose of a painkiller delivered by a patch that was on his body at the time of death.
Thanks for pointing this out. His death was not declared a suicide. I apologize for the misstatement. The post has been updated.
I don't need Jay to be as balanced or to have matured as much as Jeff, on a selfish, music fan level. I need him to deliver soul-searching grit.

What is it like to visit Istanbul and cross between Europe and Asia?
A man casts a glance over his shoulder before arching back and casting his line into the water. The street chatter and rush hour traffic drown out the subtle splash but from the look on his face, you'd think he stood alone in the countryside, miles from anyone, miles from anywhere.
He's one of many who line the Galata Bridge in Istanbul, searching for sea life in the inlet of the mighty Bosphorus, the waterway known as the Golden Horn.
Despite the size of the city ( 13 million at least at the last count,) the air feels fresh and clean, with soft wisps of salt dancing through the breeze. It's early morning and it's also winter, meaning that the sun, like the rest of us, is still warming up to the idea of the day ahead.
I stride across the bridge, my hands curling inside my pockets to grasp any vestige of heat, while my breath joins the mist that veils the view ahead.
And what a view it is.
About Istanbul: Both Europe and Asia
Minarets in lavender blue, matching domes in resting chrome. A foreground of scarlet wagons selling roast sweetcorn and pretzels and damp yet golden flagstones lit by the rising sun.
I love the city of Istanbul, perched as it is across the Bosphorus that divides Europe from Asia, with diplomatic parallels to match. When designing my #ironroute tour, a rail journey to look at the "east-west" divides in Europe and the former iron curtain, Istanbul seemed like a natural fit.
Its terminal used to mark the end of the Orient Express, a near-mythical journey that swept up Agatha Christie, Jackie Kennedy, Ernest Hemingway and more from the chic streets of Paris to the chandeliers of the Pera Palace Hotel. And while Turkey's role in the Cold War was rather low key, Istanbul is certainly a city that knows a thing or two about divisions, from geography to ideology.
About Istanbul: East and West
When the vast empire of Rome drew a curtain between its own territories, "western Rome" took Rome as its capital, while "eastern Rome" took Istanbul (or Constantinople as it became at the time.)
While the western Roman Empire crumbled in less than 100 years, the eastern one continued for more than a thousand. This Christian stronghold switched to Islam with the invasion of the Ottomans, who themselves established an empire that spanned more than seven centuries.
It's hard to miss the greatest symbols of these two former empires as they face one another in the grassy area of Sultanahmet. The Hagia Sofia and the "Blue Mosque" remain two of the most awe-inspiring and magnificent buildings in the world – and at the very least they deserve is a blog post of their own (watch this space.)
About Istanbul: Crossing to Asia
This morning, though, while I admire Sultanahmet's silhouettes on the horizon, that's not where I'm headed. I'm filing along behind the commuters to reach the Spice Market – a collection of stained glass, leather, perfume, and yes, spice – and the designated meeting point for my guide from Context Travel.*
Context employs academics in love with their cities. I took my first tour with them last year in my own city, London, to find to my surprise Roman remains and Victorian markets beneath the glistening brittle glass of the City.
This time, I'm crossing the Bosphorus to reach Asia on a public ferry that costs about two lira (about one euro.) We've missed the rush hour and have both the seats and space to stretch out a little, while gulls loom ominously past the railings.
Sultanahmet Slides Away
The foam froths below and Sultanahmet slides away. I try to talk to my guide about the project I'm working on and she misunderstands me straight away.
"So you're retracing the rail route from Istanbul to Berlin because of its 50th anniversary."
Well, yes – and no. I will be travelling by rail, I will be travelling to Berlin but my little journalist's heart flutters a little at this potentially missed detail. "What anniversary?"
Conversation becomes difficult. "The workers who went… In the 1960s… I thought that's what…You know…"
More awkwardness – and I'm not quite sure whether the reticence comes from the misunderstood purpose of my visit or the event itself five decade ago.
I let a few more metres of Bosphorus glide past before trying again. Turkey, it seems, sided with Germany in World War One, the conflict that set the world stage for all the other global conflicts that followed that century.
"Turkey won all of its battles," she says. "All of them. But it lost overall because it picked the wrong side. And that's when the Bosphorus became international waters."
The Bosphorus
The gulls circle past, squawking and angry.
In less than twenty minutes, we will have passed from Europe to Asia. We will have reached the other side of Istanbul. But we will have travelled through international waters.
Never underestimate the complexity of politics when a valuable resource is at stake.
And the Bosphorus is valuable. Extremely valuable. This narrow channel connects the Black Sea in the north to the Sea of Marmara in the south and from there on towards the Aegean and then the Med. In shorter terms, it provides the only international shipping access for several watchful countries. No wonder both the Christian Romans and the Islamic Ottomans fought over its vital strategic position. And, perhaps no wonder that Turkey is now a secular state.
"They are planning to build their own channel now, though," my guide continues. "It will be bigger than the Panama Canal, bigger than the Suez. The plans are in the pipeline…It will…happen."
My mind spins a little as I listen to the plans to carve a route through inland Turkey. It sounds like a plot from a James Bond thriller rather than 21st century politics.
I still haven't uncovered the real story behind the Turkish workers who travelled to Berlin 50 years ago, other than to read between the lines of economic and educational exclusion and conflicts over repatriation. It's something for me to investigate on perhaps another day.
For now, though, the foam turns the international water turquoise as we come in dock, translucent jellyfish suspended in fathomless blue.
Through our words, we've travelled through centuries. And yet in twenty minutes, we've only just reached Asia.

I absolutely love the way you talk about Istanbul. It brings back my memories of the Spice Market, the vendors outside, the ferry (and the jellies) … plus, it's educational. Really fascinating. :)
Thanks. I absolutely love Istanbul. Could write about it forever…
Wonderful Istanbul, I've only been once and absolutely loved it. Great write up, Context tours are always excellent!
Becoming a huge fan of the Context Tours. Went on a couple in Berlin as well – such a pleasure to meet intelligent, well-educated guides who are happy to answer almost any question you throw at them ;)
Kirsten Alana says:
I don't think I've ever longed to visit Istanbul as much as I do now. After reading this. Thank you, as always, Abi for both sating and fueling my wanderlust all at once.
Go Kirsten, go! And then we can all enjoy your photos :)

Although people had already been moving north/west from Turkey to Germany in the 1950s, the two countries signed an official agreement in 1961 to allow Gästarbeiter (guest workers) : http://bit.ly/rpio45 (Spiegel English). The conversation about the status of long-time Turkish immigrants in Germany continues to be awkward in any language.
Thanks again for your post, Abi. Your story and photos have only added to my ever growing desire to visit Istanbul. My hope is that I can convince my Turkish friends in Germany to accompany me and show me their version of Istanbul.
That's a fantastic article – thank you. On a side note, I chuckled when I read the comments about the border crossing between Turkey and Bulgaria. It was still the most difficult by far on my own trip between Istanbul and Berlin in 2011!
I hope that you make it to Istanbul one day – with your Turkish German friends.
You're welcome, Abi! As I mentioned it to them this past October in Frankfurt and I'm heading back "home" to Germany this coming (northern) autumn as part of this year's RTW, I hope they've some time off work for a weekend in Istanbul. :)

Hiya! Nice Artikel.thanks for share..more wait .. …
Maddy @ I'm Not Home says:
Lovely sentiments on the city I happen to be in right now! How long were you in Istanbul for?
On this occasion, just a few days. I'd been lucky enough to spend a little longer there a few years ago. Fascinating city – I love it! Hope you're having a good time.
What a lovely post ! So descriptive! We loved Istanbul and going to the Asian side was a lot of fun for us! I really hope we get to go back to Istanbul again because I feel it's a city you could explore for a very long time!
I'd certainly love to go back as well. So much to see and so much to experience. Thank you for the comment – I'm glad you enjoyed the post!
Jonathan Simmons says:
This is a great little introduction to the city thank you for posting it! I've been living in Istanbul for a year now and I always find that there is so much to discover, because of its sheer size and inclusion of such a vast array of traditions.
I love Istanbul – always good to hear from others who do too!
Great article. I'm always fascinated by cities that exist as a crossroads between two worlds. Lots of great topics for further exploration too.
I love this entry — you really capture the feel of Istanbul. And the history is so interesting and important. It's kind of pathetic how little Turkey/The Ottoman Empire was covered in my high school history classes (in the US). But in retrospect the fact that the Ottoman Empire chose the wrong side in WW I is probably one of the most significant historical events in the 20th century. (I read something a while ago where some historian said that WW I has never really ended — they consider a lot of the current conflicts in the mideast a continuation of WW I because of the fact that WW I resulted in the breakup of the Ottman Empre.)

Higher toned. More an undertow of red fruit aromas than precise berries, but slowly it takes on more focus – very interesting. Sweetness, concentration, soft but not too plush. The tannin is well covered and then the flavours bursts through. this is lovely.
Red fruit and green herbs on the nose. Mouth-filling fruit that's not too sweet but tastes really nice as it emerges from the medium strength, ripe tannins. Almost good.
Herbs aromas with ripe red fruit. There's plenty of tannin, but it's not too overwhelming. The fruit has good flavour and a decent intensity too.
Medium, medium-plus colour. Directly following the Château de Chorey the nose and palate both seemed attenuated and narrow, only the finish was captivating – much longer than the Beaune. Within 5 minutes the nose showed occasional flashes of brilliance – beautiful red fruits and hints of coffee. The palate is clearly barrel-tight making the acidity seem forward, but the tannin is burried. You only have to experience the finish to know this is a great wine, but perhaps we may have to wait 10 years to see it. Day two there's a hint more width, but no more.
Another sorbet-fruit nose, darker-skinned fruit than the Chanlins. This is from near to Rugiens, but without the red iron-oxide soil. This is made up from two cuvées, one from 50 year old vines, the other from 70 year old vines. There's a step-up in the silkyness of the ample tannins – they cling to your mouth – another slow diminuendo. Super.

A cornerstone for cognitive mobile agents is to represent the vast body of knowledge about space in which they operate. In order to be robust and efficient, such representation must address requirements imposed on the integrated system as a whole, but also resulting from properties of its components. In this paper, we carefully analyze the problem and design a structure of a spatial knowledge representation for a cognitive mobile system. Our representation is layered and represents knowledge at different levels of abstraction. It deals with complex, cross-modal, spatial knowledge that is inherently uncertain and dynamic. Furthermore, it incorporates discrete symbols that facilitate communication with the user and components of a cognitive system. We present possible instantiations for each layer of the representation and provide a proof of concept realized within an integrated cognitive system.

Q: PySNMP unicode support Does PySNMP support Unicode for sending snmptrap. I sent trap with unicode character in it but I get the result in hex. Is there any work around to get the value in Unicode. e.g. Here is my snmp trap command

sudo snmptrap -v2c -c public 192.168.2.162 '' .1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9
  ifIndex i 2 ifAdminStatus i 1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.599.1.3.1.1.1.0 s "विवेक
  सुवेदी"

But in the place of  "विवेक सुवेदी", I got 0xe0a4b5e0a4bfe0a4b5e0a587e0a49520e0a4b8e0a581e0a4b5e0a587e0a4a6e0a580
. Is there any way to get unicode?

A: AFAIK, to properly render UTF-8 strings, MIB object (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.599.1.3.1.1.1.0) should be typed as some TEXTUAL-CONVENTION having DISPLAY-STRING="255t" that indicates UTF-8 string.
If that is not the case, SNMP will treat it as a binary string and will not attempt to render it properly. The same happens if you do not use MIB resolution (what converts pure ASN.1/SNMP types into MIB-defined subtypes) and deal with pure ASN.1 objects.
In the latter case a hackerish solution is to skip .prettyPrint()-ing values through SNMP and use them as-is via .asOctets:
>>> print(OctetString(u'кириллица'.encode('utf-8')).asOctets())
кириллица

The problem here is that you might have to programmatically apply this logic to specific OIDs -- this is what MIB is designed for. ;)

Using the Treasure Ring builder, shoppers are able to try their hand at being a designer and create a ring that suits their individual style. With Treasure Rings, clients may choose a metal, stone, and an engraving. "The eCommerce platform is so organized and flexible that it gives our clients all the details they need in a beautiful and clear manner," said Christina Mooney, Manager of Production and Client Relations at Takohl.

The platform is easy to navigate and operating the backend is super simple,? said Tammy Kohl, Founder of Takohl.

"The Treasure Ring builder is now HTML5 based, allowing it to also be accessed on all platforms." Social media capabilities were also added, including a blog, allowing Takohl to more effectively communicate with their customers. Additionally, rings designed with the ring builder may be shared via social media.
"I would recommend Broadleaf Commerce and Dunn Solutions to any business looking to take their game to a worldwide level with precision and ease," said Kohl. "Their care and professionalism was outstanding."

In the year of our Lord. Abbreviated A.D., it is based on the supposed year of Christ's birth devised by Dionysius Exiguus (d. 550). Modern scholarship agrees that the actual birth was several years earlier, either between 7 and 4 B.C., based on the death of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:19) in 4 B.C., or at A.D. 6, based on the great taxation under Quirinius (Luke 2:1-2).


Big data analytics, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, digitization and the cloud cause manufacturers to consider the disruptive potential these new technologies can have on their market and processes. And, as consumer demands for convenience, flexibility and personalization grow, the packaging industry continues to design solutions to meet these expectations. That's why PACK EXPO International is poised to showcase innovation in action at this year's tradeshow, scheduled for Oct. 14-17 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
Produced by PMMI, The Association of Packaging and Processing Technologies, Reston, Va., PACK EXPO International 2018 is co-located with the Healthcare Packaging EXPO, and is expected to host 2,500 suppliers and 50,000 attendees from more than 125 countries in over 1.2 million net square feet of exhibit space.


The bill would have effectively outlawed end-to-end encryption, critics argued.
A bipartisan bill that would have forced tech companies to put encryption backdoors in order to ensure customer data can always be turned over to the government is reportedly "dead."
The news was first reported by Reuters on Friday, which said a lack of support from the Obama administration, as well as an "ambivalence" by the NSA and CIA, which argue the bill would interfere with its encryption efforts should it become law.
The Burr-Feinstein bill would put every American at risk from foreign nations, hackers, or even the next US president.
Silicon Valley giants were resoundingly mute upon the bill's debut, but the report also said that the tech industry had no support for the bill -- a position not all surprising given the pro-encryption push by tech companies since the wake of the Edward Snowden revelations.
One civil liberties groups heralded the bill's demise. The Electronic Frontier Foundation called the bill "terrible for digital security," and was mocked as a "do magic" bill by security thought leaders.
The bill released last month by Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), two leading senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee, would require tech companies and phone makers to decrypt customer data at a court's request.
But with the constant, looming threats of nation-state attackers, encryption keeps vital information scrambled and unreadable to the outside eye -- and keeps data on the internet secure.
It came in the aftermath of the Apple vs. FBI ruckus, in which the government pushed the technology giant to write new software that would bypass the unbreakable encryption on the iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter -- a request that Apple denied.
That refusal to help pushed Feinstein and Burr to create the Compliance With Court Orders Act, which congressional colleague Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said in a tweet would "undermine the foundation of cybersecurity for millions of Americans," making them "less safe."
The Burr-Feinstein bill echoed similar sentiments announced at the state level in California and New York, both of which would prohibit the sale of encrypted devices that can't be opened by law enforcement.
Neither Burr or Feinstein's offices could be reached for comment on Sunday.

A pí szám irracionális. Jelen cikk ezt az állítást bizonyítja.

Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728–1777) bizonyítása a tangensfüggvényt és a lánctörteket használja. Lényege, hogy a racionális számok tangense irracionális. A π/4 tangense 1, így π/4, tehát π sem lehet racionális.

A bizonyításhoz két lemma tartozik:

1. lemma: legyen  ahol  és  relatív prímek. Ekkor, ha véges kivétellel , akkor  irracionális.

2. lemma:  tangensének lánctört alakja:

Első lemma
Feltehető, hogy már az  értéktől kezdve , kivételek nincsenek. Ekkor minden pozitív egész -re , és mivel az  és  egészek különbsége legalább 1, ezért . Mivel az  érték feltevésünk szerint egynél kisebb, ezért nem tudja megváltoztatni az egész számok előjelét.

Az előjel nem változott, ennélfogva  előjele megegyezik  előjelével. Hasonlóan kaphatjuk, hogy  előjele is megegyezik  előjelével, és abszolútértéke egynél kisebb. Leszálló rekurzióval (ismertebb néven: végtelen leszállással) beláthatjuk, hogy  előjele is ugyanez, és abszolútértéke nem lehet egynél nagyobb.

Az  eseteket könnyen átvizsgálhatjuk. Ha , akkor tegyük fel indirekt, hogy  racionális:
,

ahonnan . A  szám olyan, mint a fenti , tehát egynél kisebb abszolútértékű, és . Ezt ismételve törtek végtelen sorozatához jutunk, ahol a számlálók abszolútértékben csökkenő egészek, ami ellentmondás.

Második lemma
A szinusz és a koszinusz sorfejtését felhasználva:

 ahol

és hasonlóan írhatjuk, hogy  Ezt folytatva kapjuk, hogy

a rekurziót feloldva

Innen már következik, hogy

Még bizonyítani kellene, hogy ez a sor a tangenshez konvergál. Ehhez a számlálók és a nevezők egyenletes konvergenciáját és határértékeit kell igazolni.

A tétel bizonyítása
A  helyett használhatjuk a -t Legendre nyomán:

-től kezdve , tehát az első lemmával kapjuk, hogy , így  is irracionális.

Arcadia supermarket owner released by federal…
Arcadia supermarket owner released by federal judge after new evidence emerges
By The Pasadena Star-News | pasadenastarnews@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: June 9, 2009 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 1:10 am
LOS ANGELES – A federal judge overturned several charges in the case of an Arcadia man accused of running his grocery store chain business like an organized crime ring.
George Torres, 52, had been convicted of racketeering charges, solicitation of murder, and multiple other tax and fraud charges when prosecutors came forward with new evidence that appeared to exonerate him on the more serious charges.
Torres, who owns the Los Angeles-based Numero Uno grocery store chain, was released from federal custody Tuesday, after being held without bail for two years.
His lawyer, Steve Madison, also a Pasadena councilman, filed a motion alleging government misconduct in holding back evidence last month.
"There was just a pattern in the case of non-disclosure of material that was troubling," said Madison. "Only with the motion did they dig deeper and look carefully at all the evidence they had on my client."
Federal authorities had a different take on the recently-discovered new evidence.
"Once we discovered the evidence and realized what it was, we immediately turned it over, even though it hurt our case," said Department of Justice spokesman Thom Mrozek.
Some of the convictions against Torres, including several tax charges were upheld, though Madison has filed a motion to have those dismissed as well.
If those convictions are not overturned, prison time could still be a possibility for Torres, said Mrozek, though he now has credit for two years of time served during the court process.
Torres had been accused of involvement in the killing of a worker at the 11-market Numero Uno chain.
The worker, Ignacio Meza, disappeared in 1998 following the theft of $500,000 from a Numero Uno market on Jefferson Street in Los Angeles.
Before the disappearance, prosecutors allege Meza had killed two gang members for George Torres.
The government also said he bribed public officials to help him get liquor licenses, staffed his stores with illegal immigrants, evaded taxes, shook down shoplifters in exchange for not reporting them to police, and traded in stolen meat and produce.
Much of the case was built on information from current and former Numero Uno employees, as well as telephone wiretaps.
The new evidence that exonerated Torres were tapes that were recorded at a Santa Ana jail where star prosecution witness Raul Del Real was being held, attorneys said.
Details of the taped conversations were not revealed in court, but Torres' attorneys have long maintained that convicted drug trafficker Del Real and other informants called to testify had been improperly coached by a somewhat mysterious Los Angeles police detective who never took the stand.
A Mexican national who grew up in Los Angeles, Torres developed his Numero Uno chain more than 20 years ago in blighted areas of the city. Since the indictment, Torres has sold most of the business, but still retains ownership of a couple of markets, his attorneys said.
A hearing is scheduled for June 30 to review the motion to dismiss the other charges.

Presidency Replies Tunde Bakare:Buhari Will Not Pick His Successor
CKN NIGERIA Published: January 07, 2020
More than 24 hours after one of his well-known allies asked him to pick his possible successor, an aide of President Muhammadu Buhari has said the Nigerian leader is not interested in doing so.
"The president will not pick a successor if you know him," Buhari's media adviser Femi Adesina said on Channels on Monday night.
"He is not somebody like that. But yes he will be interested in the process and he has said that he will ensure that there will be a free, fair and credible process and nobody will come to use money and resources to bamboozle his way to the leadership of the country, it will not happen."
The pastor of Latter Rain Assembly Tunde Bakare Sunday told Buhari to be decisive in choosing a member of his party that will succeed him in 2023.
Bakare was Buhari's running mate in the 2011 presidential election as the candidates of the Congress for Progressive Change.
Although he is not known to be a card-carrying member of Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Change, Bakare is believed to interested in becoming the president of Africa's largest economy.
He told News Agency of Nigeria last March that he would like to succeed Buhari in 2023.
"I am going to throw my hat into the fray. I am just waiting for President Buhari to finish his tenure (in 2023). We cannot continue this way because we have something to offer this country, and we will by the grace of God,'' he said.
Bakare made a similar statement during a sermon in February 2018. In that sermon, he categorically predicted that would succeed Buhari as Nigerian president.
"I am saying it to you this morning, in the scheme of things, as far as Nigerian politics is concerned, President Muhammadu Buhari is number 15 and yours sincerely is number 16," he said in a video that only went viral more than a year after it was recorded.
The video has since been pulled down from the YouTube channel that first published it, a check by The Guardian on Monday night showed.
However, Buhari's spokesman said his boss will be interested in handing over not to persons who may loot the country.
"The president will ensure that Nigeria is in safe hands, there is no point having worked from 2015 to 2023, having made gains, advances and then hand Nigeria over to looters once again or to allow looters use stolen funds to seize power," Adesina said.

Summary for 1255 Harrison ST / Parcel ID 6849200005 / Inv #
Historic Name: Central Supply Center for Seattle School District #1 Common Name: Evergreen Wholesale Florist
Style: Modern - International Style, Other - Industrial Neighborhood: Cascade
Built By: Year Built: 1956
In the opinion of the survey, this property appears to meet the criteria of the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Ordinance.
In the opinion of the survey, this property is located in a potential historic districe (National and/or local).
The building was designed by architect John Maloney in 1955. Several bays were added shortly thereafter by 1956. The nature of the construction and design probably made it easy to design and build additions. John Maloney was a well-known Seattle architect in his day. The building was constructed on the site of the former Cascade School (designed by John Parkinson, completed in 1894 and demolished in the early 50s). This building was also built for the Seattle School District and is described in drawings as "Central School Supply, Seattle School District 1." It mainly served as a warehouse for supplies and books for the School District. It is also significant because of the nature of its construction. This is a warehouse building, clearly designed according to International style/Modernist notions, as well as innovative construction practices: repeated concrete barrel shell vaults and tilt-up concrete walls, ribbon windows. There seems to only one other known industrial building of this type and from this period in Seattle ( built later in 1963 by the Concrete Technology Corporation, known for industrial warehouse design and construction). In addition, this building is a remarkable and noticeable building in the Cascade District that helps residents and non-residents alike orient themselves. The Seattle School District still owned the building during most of the1980s. By 1989, Pemco, the current owner, had bought it. It currently houses the Evergreen Wholesale Warehouse.
The building plan is a rectangle with a smaller rectangle cut out of it at the southeast corner. It takes up the entire block from Harrison to Thomas Streets and from Pontius to Yale Avenue North. It has precast concrete tilt-up walls. Its roof mainly consists of repeated concrete barrel shell vaults, supported on concrete post. A small rectangular area to the north has a flat roof, supported by steel joists, and was designed as a loading area. The elevations reflect the variation in roof structure, with a preponderance of concrete barrel shell vaults. For instance, on the west elevation, starting from the north, the first three bays have a flat roof, and are succeeded, running to the south, by eight barrel shell roof vaults. On the east elevation, the first four barrel vaulted bays are cut into by the smaller rectangle, creating a courtyard and entrance to the building, and then succeeded by four barrel vaulted bays, and then three shorter bays covered by the lower flat roof. Another distinctive feature, tying all elevations together, is the continuous ribbon of square windows.

Q: Translate from applemac to utf8 Hi at all i want to translate this template from applemac to utf8 how can i do?
thanks at all !

A: Before Lion it was possible to use the soft Cyclone but now another possibility is to use textedit ( I suppose that you work with a math ). In the prefs of textedit go to Preferences and choice the item Open and save ( I have the soft in french so I don't know exactly the texts) New choices opening encoding : Occidental : mac os roman  save encoding : UTF8.
Now you can open a file with mac roman and save it with UTF8. You can re-encode Tesi.tex from applemac to UTF8.
It' s posible with textmate and with textwrangler (I suppose)
If you want to convert a lot of files, you can use the command from the terminal
  iconv -f MAC -t UTF8 fileMacOSRoman.tex > fileUTF8.tex

and then you need to change \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} to \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in Tesi.tex


…all ending with a sad and final thud as I drove out of Manhattan to Cape Cod with a car filled with mementos and my Herman Miller Aeron chair, a totem of the dot.bomb if there ever was one.
at http://www.churbuck.com/wordpress/. Do you have a Cape Connection? Am I addressing the correct writer? What is the real meaning of existence… forget the last.
If you do ever have thought about our sand spit held together by package stores" please past them along and I'll feature that post on http://CapeCodTODAY.com.
Funny – I hadn't seen any local blog of blogs before. The concept of regional blogging seems strongest with Jonathan Weber's community publishing experiment in the west. Good concept whereever it lands.
Is this blog written by Marshall Churbuck? If so, you are an aquaintance from the past!

Watch Michael Stipe Join Stephen Colbert and James Franco for 'It's the End of the Year As We Know It'
Feeling less than positive about the way things went in 2016? Take comfort in knowing that former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe and Stephen Colbert is right there with you.
Stipe stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Dec. 15, and with 2017 rapidly approaching, Colbert took the opportunity to set up a couple of mics for a reworking of the R.E.M. classic "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" — performed here, naturally, as "It's the End of the Year as We Know It."
The major difference, aside from the fact that Colbert took lead vocals and the duo were standing in front of a green screen flashing quick visual recaps of all the (mostly fairly unappealing) things that happened this year, was that — much to the audience's mirth — Stipe refused to add the song's signature tag, mutely expressing his disdain for 2016 instead of singing "I feel fine."
Fellow Late Show guest James Franco joined in partway through the song, which serves as a reminder of just how much headline news we go through in the space of a calendar year — and may help you get a chuckle out of some of 2016's darker moments. Check the whole performance out via the above video embed.
Stipe also sat for an interview with Colbert, discussing topics ranging from his bushy beard — he says he's "going for Zeus" rather than the "skid row Santa" he's occasionally accused of looking like this time of year — and the possibility of an R.E.M. reunion, which he seemed to welcome noncommittally by saying, "I saw PJ Harvey, Radiohead — you see them up there and it's like, wow, I kinda wanna jump up there again." Watch the interview below.

I first read this book ten years ago - and was amazed that the Bible made so much more sense as a result! "According to Plan" both equips you to read the Bible, and gives a hunger to do so. Today in evangelical circles, it is common to refer to Biblical Theology and the need to interpret passages in the context of the Bible's plot line. This book is the classic that did much to equip a generation with the tools for reading the Bible as one book, rather than a collection of disconnected stories.
The book has four sections, dealing with why Biblical Theology is essential, how it is done, what it consists of and where it leads. Almost half the space is spent on the third section, which outlines the Bible's narrative from start to end.
A great strength of "According to Plan" is the way Goldsworthy puts Jesus at the centre of the Bible's plot and hence the central interpretative key to Scripture. For anybody who has been raised on the Old Testament as a collection of inspirational character studies, it is spiritually refreshing to see what was written before Christ as a rich tapestry that gives colour to our picture of the Saviour- and hence deepens faith. It is difficult to underestimate the positive contribution Goldsworthy has made to the Church with his reclaiming of the Old Testament as truly Christian Scripture.
The central chapters that outline the content of the Bible constantly drive the reader to turn to the passages that are discussed. Huge amounts of material are covered concisely. Summaries and study guides help the key lessons sink in - hopefully to shape future sermons and Bible reading! Diagrams and charts are helpfully included. Many speakers and authors have plundered them over the past few years, but this is where they originally appeared.
The unity of Old and New Testaments is often opened. A typical comment from Goldsworthy is, "While the gospel will reveal the final significance of all God's promises to Israel, the redemptive revelation in the Old Testament will deepen our appreciation of what it means for Jesus to be the Christ" (pg. 198).
One of the most thoughtful sections of the book is Goldsworthy's presentation of the New Creation in four chapters- the new creation for us, the new creation in us initiated, the new creation in us now and The new creation consummated. This approach allows the crucial importance of the New Creation as the climax of the story to be seen, and also offers a sensitive delineation of the tension between what we experience now directly and what we own in the future by faith. This is one of the main issues that is dealt with in the New Testament, and demands to be addressed by Biblical Theology. These chapters form a powerful conclusion to the central section of "According to Plan."
The coherence and clarity of Goldsworthy's presentation of the biblical witness is undeniable. If there is a weakness to this book it is these strengths! The author admits he has made a selective decision to arrange the themes as he does: "I have chosen the linked themes of the covenant and new creation as a unifying element in the Bible message. Time and space do not permit us to explore in detail all the different themes that might be regarded as the basis for Biblical unity. Most of them will appear in some way or another in our examination of Biblical Theology, but we need to focus on one in order to highlight the fact of unity" (pg. 77). There are other ways of presenting the Bible story, but Goldsworthy's arrangement is so simple and clear that it is difficult to set it aside to give other options a thorough investigation. For example, the emphasis in this book is on the unity or similarity between the Old and New Testaments. That there is difference is clearly acknowledged - but the implications of it are not developed much beyond the way they prepare the way for Jesus. Further study of this area could yield more rich and surprising ways of viewing Jesus that stir up faith in him.
After summarising and shaping the Bible story, the book concludes with two chapters about where Biblical Theology leads. These chapters take two issues, knowing God's will and life after death, and asks what insights the Biblical Theological approach can shed on them. This is refreshing as it reminds readers that reading the Bible shapes daily life, and is not a merely intellectual exercise. Having completed these two chapters, the reader is left thinking that there is a great need to address more issues of life with the rich tools of Biblical Theology. Picking up a Bible and reading it eagerly - start to finish - theme through theme - Christ in view - would be a good response to reading "According to Plan."

Bank of England's Carney to become U.N. climate finance envoy

Mark Carney, the current governor of the Bank of England, will become UN special envoy on climate action and climate finance
He'll work on the intersection of climate change and finance - including risk management and net-zero investments
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney will lead a push by the United Nations to make the finance sector take proper account of the risks posed by climate change, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday.
Guterres said the Canadian, due to leave the bank on Jan. 31, was "a remarkable pioneer in pushing the financial sector to work on climate".
How can we unlock finance to fight climate change?
He told a news conference before a U.N. climate summit in Madrid beginning on Monday that Carney would be the U.N. special envoy on climate action and climate finance from next year.
Governor of the Bank of England Mark Joseph Carney makes remarks during a
Michael Bloomberg, billionaire owner of the Bloomberg financial data and news service and former New York City mayor, was the U.N. special envoy for climate action until he stepped down in November, shortly before filing paperwork to run for U.S. president.
Carney first spoke of the risks that climate change poses to finance in 2015, and since then has urged better risk management, supervision and disclosure.
He has spoken of "stranded assets" - deposits of coal, oil and gas that might lose their value if the world shifts away from carbon - and decried a lack of transparency about the effect on global warming of trillions of dollars of potential investments.
The 54-year-old has spent nearly seven years at the head of the bank, and previously led the Bank of Canada and worked for Goldman Sachs.
The Bank of England said Carney would seek to make the impact of climate change central to financial reporting, risk management and the calculation of returns ahead of a global summit in Glasgow in November 2020.
"The disclosures of climate risk must become comprehensive, climate risk management must be transformed, and investing for a net-zero world must go mainstream," Carney said in a statement.
Some 70 countries have promised to go 'net zero' - offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions with measures such as carbon capture or planting trees - by 2050.
Last week, Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann said addressing climate change was a job for governments.
But the new head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, has promised to discuss sustainability considerations in an impending strategic review.
The Band of England said Carney would earn $1 million a year in his new role, nearly 900,000 pounds ($1.15 million) less than his annual package at the British central bank.
Carney was originally due to leave in 2018 but stayed on to help steer Britain's economy through the Brexit transition. His successor has not yet been named and Carney has signaled that he would extend his stay beyond Jan. 31 - the date Britain is due to leave the EU - if necessary.
Carney had been seen as a contender to lead the International Monetary Fund, but the job went instead to Kristalina Georgieva, former World Bank chief executive.

Other than the expense and complications of Swan-Ganz catheters, its use in titration of drug therapy has no conclusive end point. Because BNP reflects both elevated left ventricular pressure and neurohormonal modulation and has a short half-life, we hypothesized that levels of BNP would decline in association with falling wedge pressures. Final BNP levels would perhaps signify a new set point of neuromodulation.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Twenty patients with decompensated New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV congestive heart failure (CHF) undergoing tailored therapy were studied. BNP levels were drawn every 2 to 4 hours for the first 24 hours (active treatment phase) and then every 4 hours for the next 24 to 48 hours (stabilization period). Hemodynamic data was recorded simultaneously. In 15 patients whose wedge pressure responded to treatment in the first 24 hours, there was a significant drop in BNP levels (55%) versus nonresponders (8%). There was a significant correlation between percent change in wedge pressure from baseline per hour and the percent change of BNP from baseline per hour (r = 0.79, P <.05). When the wedge pressure was kept at a stable, low level during the stabilization phase, BNP levels continued to fall another 37% (937 +/- 140 pg/mL at 24 hours to 605 +/- 128 pg/mL). Patients who died (n = 4) had higher final BNP levels (1,078 +/- 123 pg/mL v 701 +/- 107 pg/mL).
The data suggest that rapid testing of BNP may be an effective way to improve the in-hospital management of patients admitted with decompensated CHF. Although BNP levels will not obviate the need for invasive hemodynamic monitoring, it may be a useful adjunct in tailoring therapy to these patients.

Q: Access an object returned by factory and modify in the view I am newer in AngularJS, so please correct me if I am doing something stupid.
I want to have a model object that can be changed from the view, some of the methods has to be public others private.
So I created a factory for the model
angular.module('nanApp.models', [])
    .factory('PoiModel', [function () {
        function Poi() {
            this.name;
            this.tags;
            this.address = {name: undefined, location: {lat: undefined, lng: undefined}};

            function addAddress(name, location) {
                this.address = {name: name, location: {lat: location.lat, lng: location.lng}};
            }

            function place() {
                return this.address.name;
            }

            function print() {
                return {name: this.name, address: this.address, tags: this.tags};
            }

            return {
                addAddress: function (name, location) {
                    return addAddress(name, location);
                },
                place: function () {
                    return place();
                },
                print: function () {
                    return print();
                },
                name: this.name,
                tags: this.tags
            }
        };

        return {
            createNew: function () {
                return new Poi();
            }
        }
    }])
;

From outside we can create a POI, name and tags are public as has to be binded from the view and address is private but has a public method to modify.
The controller looks like
angular.module('nanApp.controllers.pois', ['nanApp.services', 'nanApp.models'])
.controller('PoiCtrl', function ($scope, PoiModel) {
    var vm = this;

    vm.poi = PoiModel.createNew();

    vm.saveElement = function () {
        console.log(vm.poi);
        console.log(vm.poi.print());
    };

    vm.locationSuccess = function (name, location) {
        vm.poi.addAddress(name, location);
    };
});

Then from the view I am able to call locationSuccess and modify the address.
From the form I want to change the name, tags and then save.
When I am done and call saveElement() is printing that
Object {name: "a", tags: "b"}
Object {name: "", address: Object, tags: undefined}
  address: Object
    location: Object
      lat: 50.8176986
      lng: -0.12310700000000452
    name: "Marine Parade, Brighton, United Kingdom"
    __proto__: Object
  name: ""
  tags: undefined
  __proto__: Object

I understand that the first print doesn't print the address as it is private, but if I make it public is undefined.
In the second print, why name and tags are undefined?
Thanks,

A: Finally I solved it using a better sintax.
angular.module('nanApp.models', [])
    .factory('PoiModel', [function () {
        var poi = {};
        var address = {name: undefined, location: {lat: undefined, lng: undefined}};

        poi.addAddress = function (name, location) {
            address = {name: name, location: {lat: location.lat, lng: location.lng}};
        };

        poi.place = function () {
            return address.name;
        };

        poi.print = function () {
            return {name: this.name, address: address, tags: this.tags};
        };

        return {
            createNew: function () {
                return poi;
            }
        }
    }])
;


Golf is hard, golf is frustrating, and golf is expensive. Yes, golf is also very enjoyable. Many people don't have the time/money to invest into the sport to get to that point.
For most, golf is an escape from work and/or family problems. I've talked to a lot of people who have tried to play golf and they all say relatively the same thing, "I get to a golf course angry and stressed and leave feeling the same way, add disappointment."
Do I feel that way - no. However I've had a lot of time to work on my game. I think what deters people is time. Not time as in pace of play, but how much time it takes to become a skilled golfer.
People are walking away from the game because golf isn't that much fun. It's work. It takes tons of time, effort and money to play well enough to enjoy the game. In my case, I've been playing for over 50 years, and it's more of a part-time job than enjoyable leisure activity. I don't like the person I become when I play. Golf drives me into a concentrated head space that makes me difficult to be around. Sometimes I'm quite ashamed of myself. The notion that it teaches positive values like honesty and integrity is just a lie. Judging by the people I see, it actually teaches discourtesy, gambling and drunkenness. I wouldn't advise people to get involved with the game. Like an abusive lover, golf promises much more than it delivers, and the entire relationship is often toxic.
Why do you play? I've also been playing as long as you, and my experiences are just about opposite of yours. If it ever became work for me, I'd quit!
Yes, that's the point of this thread.
It's that easy. If you don't quickly develop a love for it you'll give it up. That simple.
I like golf more now than I ever have BECAUSE it's hard. Its the only thing in my life I've never been able to master inside of a few days. It intrigues me.
Evidently you have difficulty sinking a 3 ft putt for eagle, hence your call name, 2putttom!
My first home course was a little muni track that I got to play for free year round because I was on the golf team. When I was 14-17y/o (late 90s-ish) that course was crawling with blue collar types. I'm talking guys in their 50s & 60s that wore work shirts, work boots, and jeans to the course even in the dead of summer. They played in 5-somes and had their money games and despite having homemade swings could get around the course with respectability. Now you also had your kids and more polished golf types but those people seem to still be playing. It's these blue collar types that I don't see anymore when I go to my old stomping grounds. I think golf was on its way to a decline right when Tiger showed up and brought in a bunch of new blood from 2000-2008 or so. But those people were more Tiger fans than golf fans and with his decline their interest waned. That bandaid is gone and now we see where golf was heading all along.
Cost, time, instruction, attention span, yeah those are all huge issues but I think golf (much like bowling) has suffered due to the easily accessible forms of entertainment out there thanks to video games, cable tv, the internet, smart phones, etcetera. I think it belongs alongside more specialized hobbies like fishing, hunting, hiking, biking etcetera that are reserved for enthusiasts who take it very seriously. I think it will take another Tiger coming along to create another boom. And I am skeptical that you can catch that lightning in a bottle ever again.
Love how Golfwrx members are more qualified to teach than actual PGA teachers.
I think teaching pros are at a disadvatage in that most people expect to pick up the game so quickly, and when they don't, they feel they had a poor teacher. So pros don't have the luxery of teaching a few basics and letting trial and error take its run. With a family member or friend you wouldn't bog them down with too much detail. A work in progress would be understood.
Yes and no. Pro's teach what they believe to be the "best" golf swing...how they learned...how they "feel", what they "do" during the swing. That means they disregard the student as an individual who may swing like Furyk or Daly, so they're talked out of that swing in favor of what the pro thinks is best. That can lead to years of tension and anxiety....trying to do something that's never going to work, or far too long of a struggle and complete waste of time.
Besides, the best players are not always the best teachers. I like Malaska, Sparks, Boomer, Ernest Jones, the Canadian Pro Ron "LearningtheRealSwing", Paul Wilson, Shawn Clement and many others because they simplify the golf swing instead of analyzing every 1/8th inch of movement. Notice i didn't include "Tiger, Phil, and other tour pro's on the list?
Teaching, whether it's golf or anything else, is all about communicating. I've been around a dozen or so Club Professionals in my 20 or so years playing golf and not one of them did I think was a good teacher. They were all great dudes and tremendous assets to the clubs they are oversaw but being a teacher is really, really hard. The guys you mentioned as great teachers are good communicators. They can turn on a camera and just talk and they get their point across. I've seen a few posters on this site give tips and communicate it in a way that was better than any teaching pro I've ever seen in action. It's just a hard thing to be good at.

Precisely. I recall a geometry teacher that I was struggling to learn anything...then my slightly older brother stepped in and showed me basic examples of what geometry was all about...why it is used...and suddenly learning geometry wasn't hard anymore. Remember, teaching pro's at clubs are guys who couldn't make it in the big league, they worked on THEIR swing all their life...so naturally they teach their swing...or some tour pro they think is someone to copy.
When is the last time you had to buy a new baseball bat or glove?
What about a new football?
Maybe you need a new tennis racket?
How about a racketball racket?
You must need a better basketball this year?
How do you expect the sports equipment manufacturers to survive? OMG...!!!
I get so confused as to why golf manufacturers think they need to put out new clubs and balls every year? Seems like a lot of effort for no reason other than profit. Kind of silly IMHO...bet they could be doing better things with their time and capital.
People are sick of spending $600 on a driver that doesn't work. $1000+ for irons that aren't fit right for them. **** near $200 a wedge now?!?!?!?!
When I was playing baseball/softball, I got new bats every year, new glove every other year.
Footballs, even playing in the neighborhood we'd shred them in a year.
Tennis racket, needed re-strung every couple of months, new racket about once a year or so.
Racketball racket, see tennis racket above.
I see it kind of like automobiles. The manufacturers come out with new models every year to attract new buyers with the latest and greatest features; if you bought a car last year they're not expecting to see you, BUT if you get the itch for something shiny and new they'll gladly take your money.
And that's the thing, nobody's forcing you to go down to the local golf shop and whip out your wallet.
And if you get attract like a deer to headlights, that's not their fault.
As the initial respondent noted, golf has never been cheap, and in the greater scheme of things golf equipment is cheaper today than it was back in the day (if you factor in inflation).
And here's the final rub, whether it be automobiles or golf equipment, the quickest way for any manufacturer to fall by the wayside is to not be on the forefront of the latest releases.
Best golf instruction I ever got was from studying the TGM with a certified instructor, we've been studying it for many years. I dont think in terms of it whilst playing but understanding certain mechanics is crucial. Everything else just becomes finding and attaching a feel to the mechanic.
The very best golf instructors don't teach "their" swing, they teach a swing that they believe the student can repeat with consistency. Not all students are created equally.
Vis-a-vis your older brother - many years in the office as a senior technical type I'd have to explain something to a more junior person. They didn't get it. I tried explaining it a little different way. Nope.
And the best players OFTEN don't teach at all; at least not formally. If you remember, Nicklaus' book is "Golf My Way" and he clearly explains "This is how *I* do it" (not necessarily the way you should).
And the best teachers OFTEN don't teach at all; at least not formally. If you remember, Nicklaus' book is "Golf My Way" and he clearly explains "This is how *I* do it" (not necessarily the way you should).
Another issue that arises from books like "Golf MY Way" and Hogan's Five Lessons is that they're explaining based on what they felt they were doing. Super slo-mo video (or movies) were very rare, so they couldn't accurately see what they were really doing, all they had were feels. There's nothing wrong with those feels, but the same feel can produce widely varying motions in different people.
Separately, great golfers don't necessarily make great teachers because most of them worked really hard at their own golf swing, but they didn't always learn very much at all about the golf swing in general.
A friend of mine in the Corps called golf "cow pasture pool", and thought it was a very stupid idea of a sport. One day he was looking for me and found me out at the local driving range. After watching me a bit, he said that golf looked pretty easy.
I handed him a club.
After about a dozen wiffs, chunks, and skulls, he proclaimed the game too stupid, and almost threw my club. I asked him to show me his baseball swing (he was a good college player). Then I had him repeat the same swing when bent over at the waist. Better. Then I told him to take a slo-mo swing and stop at the bottom, look at the face of the club, and adjust your grip so that the face is perpendicular to the direction the club was swinging in.
Long story short, he was the first person I actually tried to help. We finally got him down to single digits after about 10 months. It was mostly him though, I just pointed out a few things from time to time. I couldn't see myself teaching though. I'm not a people person.
Most people walk away out of frustration, lack of time or cost to play or a combination of these things. I believe instruction causes some frustration in that not everyone can do 'the' moves. As for instruction, someone can teach you the setup and basic motions but not everyone can make the picture perfect moves and have to find an adaptation that does work.
Some are, and some are not. And some can actually play better than most teaching pros as well. Becoming a teaching pro isn't that hard. Some are good at it, some are not.
A bunch of years ago, I played in a pro-member scramble tournament, each team 3 members and 1 of the CC's pros. We had our head pro on our team. I was playing a lot at that time and playing well. This is a not very passive brag, but we used my ball more than all others, including the pro. They are not gods or imbued with special powers.
The club pros I know never play. And I mean never. A few of them are club pros at big time courses too.
There are a lot of hack pros that make the good ones look pretty bad. At the same time, there are a bunch of great teachers that never played all that well themselves.
Golf is the only activity I can think of where all of the teachers are failures. Not a single golf teacher went to school with the intention of growing up to become a teacher. They are all players who simply ran out of competitive gas and started teaching in order to stay in the business. At some point, they all failed as players and started teaching instead.
Yeah, golf's version of the High School coach teaching History.
Costs too much money & takes too much time. Fix those, which no one ever will, and you will see a resurgence in the sport.
I don't believe this is true at all. By the time most golfers leave high school they have at least an idea of their chances of making a pro tour. Most know its simply not a realistic possibility, yet many choose a career in golf. They may aspire to be a club pro, to be a sales rep, a club manager, a teacher, any kind of career in the golf world. I know a teaching pro whose only ambition is to teach, and he does it pretty well. He's slogged through the PGA apprentice program to get that specific credential, but his knowledge of the golf swing far exceeds anything taught in the PGA curriculum. If you want to call everyone who makes an informed decision NOT to play golf for a living a "failure", I suppose that's one definition. In my experience, most golf teachers have never really tried to make their living actually playing, so its hard for me to label them so harshly.
waiting for par 5 green to clear from 245 out when you haven't got any shot that far all day.
Takes too much time. Which is why the ball has hurt the game. A shorter ball is easier to walk to and goes less offline. No better way to speed up the game then to shorten the ball and shrink golf courses. I just don't see the setbacks of a shorter ball, why are people so emotional about it.
I think every single kid who makes it onto a college golf team wants to see how good they can get with the possibility of getting to a tour. Then when it becomes obvious that it's not gonna happen some of them become club pros. I personally know 3 kids who have just taken this path.
I think what makes golf hard particularly for male golfers is Tour golf. Those guys make it look so easy, but we don't see the 1,000s of hours of practice. Our egos are hard to overcome.
Secondly, no matter how much time you spend on the range hitting balls, you can't learn to play golf on the range. From my experience you need to develop a consistent golf swing, and that does take some time, but you learn to play by playing.
This makes sense to me. Are those kids "failures" for understanding the limits of their abilities, and making a reasonable choice based on their own limits? Not in my book.
I can buy this on some level, but one can play 9 holes. It's even encouraged now and the forward tees have always been there.
Many are over thinking this subject. Golf is hard to do well. Majority of people don't want to work that hard for a hobby.


Integrated control of cocoa tussock moth (Orgyia postica Wlk.) in North Sumatra (Indonesia).
After the discovery of the parasitoid wasp Telenomus sp. (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) which attacks the eggs of the Orgyia postica Wlk. (Lepidoptera, Lymantriidae) pest, at the cacao planting of Mariendal Estate, Deli Serdang (North Sumatra, Indonesia) in the beginning of 1982, insecticides should be used more wisely and more selectively, to ensure the survival of its natural enemy in the field in controlling O. postica pest in cacao plantings. Integrated control of O. postica pest may be performed by the selective use of the bioinsecticide Bacillus thuringiensis which is specific for Lepidopterous larvae, and it is probably better, if possible, that the shade tree Leucaena glauca be substituted with clone Leucaenia L-19, since the leaves of the first mentioned tree is preferred to by the larvae of O. postica.

Asbestos insulating board (AIB) or sometimes referred to by its trade name Asbestolux was a common construction material used from the 1930s up until it production ceased in 1980. Asbestos insulating board was used due to its excellent fire and heat insulating properties. AIB contained anywhere from 25-40% asbestos, usually of Amosite fibres, but also contained a Chrysotile / Amosite mixture in some cases. In older boards and in marine applications, Crocidolite was also used to produce AIB.
Because of the high quantities of asbestos present in AIB and their relatively porous nature, the potential for fibre release is very high if boards are disturbed.
AIB is in the mid-range in terms of friability on disturbance so it is reasonably likely to release asbestos fibres when it is worked on. Due to this, when working with AIB, a number of precautions should be taken. In most cases, removing any kind of AIB is classed as notifiable with the HSE and should always be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
If you are aware of any AIB in your domestic or commercial property, then get in contact to find the best solution in either managing the associated risks, or having it removed.

Bush's Last Stand
Bush Faces a Battery of Ugly Choices on War - New York Times:
One official providing advice to the president noted on Thursday that while Mr. Bush still insists his goal is an Iraq that "can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself," he has already dropped most references to creating a flourishing democracy in the heart of the Middle East.
Or, he could take the advice of Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who is expected to run to replace him in two years, who argues in favor of pouring more troops into Iraq, an option one senior administration official said recently might make sense but could "cause the bottom to fall out" of public support.
But whatever choices he makes — probably not until after the Nov. 7 election, and perhaps not until the bipartisan group issues its report — they will be forced by a series of events, in Iraq and at home, that now seems largely out of Mr. Bush's control, in Iraq and at home.
So, let's see. No WMD. No bin Laden. No democracy. Hmmm. Why are we there again? I can't seem to remember....
