Malaybalay, Bukidnon– ATHAG conducted a Hilot healing mission and presentation in this cool mountainous city on August 17-20, 2013. Dr. Bibiano "Boy" Fajardo, with the assistance of ATHAG Hilot therapist Karen Reyes, introduced the science behind Hilot healing to the monks and nuns of the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Brgy. San Jose, City of Malaybalay.
Dr. Bibiano "Boy" Fajardo and ATHAG were invited by Fr. Columbano Adag, O.S.B., the Subprior of the monastery, who wished that the other monks and nuns in the monastery would also experience the healing benefits of Hilot that he himself had experienced.
Fr. Columbano Adag introduces Dr. Bibiano Fajardo to the monks at the monastery.
In March of this year, Fr. Adag had travelled to Manila to attend the launch of Go Negosyo's book, "50 Inspiring Stories of Agri-Entrepreneurs," in which the monastery was featured because of its very successful Monk's Blend Premium Coffee.
But on the morning of the ceremony, Fr. Adag was in severe pain, which left him unable to even get up from his bed. His host, a friend of Dr. Fajardo, sought the latter's assistance, knowing that Dr. Fajardo would be able to help him. Due to distance and time constraints, however, Dr. Fajardo could not go all the way to Alabang, where Fr. Adag was staying. So instead, he employed a traditional Hilot distance healing technique which temporarily lessened the pain (and enabled Fr. Adag to take part in the ceremonies), with strict instructions that Fr. Adag should be brought to ATHAG the day after.
On the following day, Fr. Adag arrived at the ATHAG office. He had to be carried up the stairs, because the pain was back in full force. After determining the cause of Fr. Adag's pain (severe arthritis and weakened kidneys), Dr. Fajardo put him on a Hilot-Herbal program.
Several Hilot sessions later, Fr. Adag was already able to walk. After around two months of Hilot-Herbal treatment, Fr. Adag was already running up the stairs of the monastery, much to the astonishment of monks and nuns who were used to seeing him slowly make his way around with the aid of a walker.
Inspired by his remarkable recovery, Fr. Adag made arrangements in the monastery and the people of Malaybalay so he could bring Dr. Fajardo and the science of Hilot to their mountainous city.
Dr. Bibiano Fajardo explains how Hilot is done as ATHAG Hilot therapist Karen Reyes demonstrates.
In the morning of August 17, Dr. Fajardo presented the art and science of Hilot-Herbal healing to an audience of ten monks and their hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Ramos. During his lecture, Dr. Fajardo integrated the diagnosis of the participants' ailments, and ATHAG Hilot therapist Karen proceeded with the Hilot treatment. The same process was also done in the afternoon for the nuns of the monastery.
On the following day, August 18, several patients came up to Dr. Fajardo after the Sunday mass ended, at around 10:00 a.m. While Karen performed Hilot on some of the monks, Dr. Fajardo attended to the people who came to him for help with their ailments.
One of the people who sought out Dr. Fajardo was an 81 y.o. widow named Alice, whose hand was in a wrist brace. According to Alice, she had been wearing the brace for some eight months already. She could not move her hand because of severe pain. She had been advised to undergo surgery, she said, but she did not have the amount needed for the surgery and the physical therapy that would be required afterwards. Dr. Fajardo took a look at her hand, asked her to take off the brace, and proceeded to perform Hilot. After about 20 minutes of Hilot, Alice was overjoyed to find that she could already move her hand because the pain had considerably lessened. Dr. Fajardo instructed her how to prepare slices of ginger and apply it to her hand to aid in healing.
In the afternoon, Dr. Fajardo and Karen went to their second host, the family of Mrs. Nena Ma, where they also performed Hilot treatment on family members.
Dr. Bibiano Fajardo performs traditional Hilot on a patient in Bukidnon.
On their third day in Malaybalay, Dr. Fajardo conducted a day-long Hilot seminar at the Cathedral for members of the diocese who were interested in Hilot. In between lectures and demonstrations, Dr. Fajardo also attended to people who came in for healing.
In the morning of the following day, Dr. Fajardo and officers of the local health department explored possibilities of conducting further Hilot trainings in the area through a formal partnership with ATHAG.

Q: using find and grep to empty multiple files find . -name '.htaccess' -print | xargs grep -il 'sound' | xargs -p sh -c ">{}"

Trying to find some .htaccess files on a host that've been compromised, grep them to make sure they are bad .htaccess (not all on server have been ruined) and blank them out.
All is working, except the last part. Tried many variations of echo > etc.
I'm missing a fundamental here and can't seem to grok it out of all the man pages.
Thanks.

A: find . -name '.htaccess' -print | xargs grep -il 'sound' | xargs -I {} sh -c ">{}"

Per usual, I get it minutes after posting a question.
Think it helps sometimes to just spell it out (literally)...

A: Try it with the : > filename noop.
But would it not make more sense to remove the bad .htaccess files rather than zero them?

V773 Tauri is a young, multiple star system in the central region of Taurus, an equatorial constellation. This is a T Tauri-type variable star that ranges in apparent visual magnitude from 10.59 down to 10.95, which is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. Based on various estimates, the system is located at a distance of approximately 433 light years from the Sun. It lies near the dark cloud Lynds 1495.

Hierarchy of orbits

This system was identified as a T Tauri star by A. E. Rydgren and associates in 1974. Radio emission was detected from this source in 1983. In 1993, it was discovered to be a double star with an angular separation of about : the two components are designated A and B. Component A was found to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 51 days. In 2003 a third member of this group was located, component C, at a separation of  from component A.

Orbital solutions for the A–B pair provide an unexpectedly high dynamic mass of  for component B, suggesting it too may be a binary system. A single star with that much mass would have 17 times the luminosity of the Sun, which is inconsistent with the observed optical luminosity. Photometry of component B suggests it is experiencing extinction from dust along the line of sight. The component is variable in the K band, which is consistent with clumps or clouds of dust in orbit.

In 2010, an extended eclipse was observed in the V773 Tauri system. This was interpreted as a circumbinary disk of component B passing in front of component A. The eclipse obscured 70% of the emission from component A and lasted 150 days.

Rob Lewis is a record producer from the Bronx, New York who met D.J. Chuck Chillout, a legendary New York hip-hop D.J. and radio personality, and crew (Kool Chip, Deuces Wild and D.J. Funkmaster Flex) during the late 1980s / early 1990s and was asked to do pre-production on Chuck and Chip's album, "Rhythm is the Master".

Lewis being an unknown producer was introduced to D.J. Chuck Chillout by DJ Wildstyle from Co-Op City in the Bronx. Wildstyle suggested that Lewis create a radio promo for Chuck. A radio promo is a short musical segment giving props and promotion to the radio D.J. and these promos were very popular at the time. Lewis's promo, known as "Chuck Is Chillin', was revolutionary for that time as it was created using individual word samples taken from various records and strung together to create a new lyric line. This style of sampling has since been copied numerous times both in radio promos as well as complete songs.

Lewis went on to produce songs on Chuck Chillout and Cool Chip's album Rhythm is the Master and later produced the majority of songs for the Bronx artist known as Nine whose two albums, Nine Livez and Cloud 9, are widely sought-after. Lewis's production for Nine includes the songs "Whutcha Want?", "Any Emcee", "Lyin' King", and "Make or Take" (featuring Smoothe da Hustler), among others.

Mazo Beach is the colloquial name for Mazomanie Bottoms State Natural Area, located in Sauk County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Property along the river was acquired in parcels by the State of Wisconsin since the 1950s to provide a full range of nature based activities including hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, and wildlife habitat.  Since 1978, the beach and surrounding nature preserve have attracted picnickers and swimming day-trippers to its open and expansive shoreline.

The Mazomanie Bottoms encompasses a large area of Wisconsin River floodplain forest dissected by old river channels that are dry except during periodic floods. Silver maple, elm, basswood, and ash dominate the forest; other trees include swamp white oak, cottonwood, willow, river birch, and hackberry. Openings in the canopy due to elm mortality have a dense understory of prickly ash, gray dogwood, buckthorn, and young trees. Ridges of sand support oaks, but the slough margins are nearly pure silver maple. Vining plants and lianas are found in abundance: virgin's bower, wild yam, moonseed, wild cucumber, woodbine, poison ivy, carrion flower, and grape. Sand bars and ephemeral pools along the river add considerable diversity. The forest harbors thousands of migrating birds. Nesting birds include these uncommon species: cerulean (Dendroica cerulea), Kentucky (Oporornis formosus), prothonotary (Protontaria citrea) and mourning warblers, winter wren, and brown creeper. The site has a large woodpecker population and is used in winter by bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Mazomanie Bottoms is owned by the DNR and was designated a State Natural Area in 1978. Seasonal changes shape the river, thereby altering the beach's size. This along with additional Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) changing land restrictions means the actual beach area changes annually.  Camping is not allowed on the sandbars near Mazomanie Bottoms.

On a hot summer weekend, the beach may see hundreds of people to include families with children and recreational boaters. In the past, conservation groups have occasionally protested near the beach to ensure it remains open and free to all the citizens of Wisconsin. The clothing optional beach lies along the Lower Wisconsin River, located in the northwest corner of Dane County in the Town of Mazomanie between the Village of Mazomanie and Sauk City, Wisconsin.

In 2013, a bill passed closing the beach on weekdays. On March 8, 2016, the DNR closed the beach until further notice, citing illegal activity. The state is updating its master plan for redevelopment of the area, but Mazo beach was left out. Prior to the closure, it had been described as one of the "most popular nude beaches" in the country.

Q: Extract data between (' and '), using vba code I want to Extract data between ('  and  '), using vba code.
e.g from string =" ('128003848885492'), ('128003848885502')".I need 128003848885492 and  128003848885502 and need to compare these values in other file separately.
please suggest.
thanks in advance.

A: Remove unnecessary characters leaving the commas to split the string.  This will leave you a string array of numbers.
Sub Example()

    Dim StringValues  As String
    Dim ArrayValues() As String
    Dim Value As Variant

    StringValues = "('128003848885492'),('128003848885502')"

    'Remove unnecessary characters leaving the commas to split the string
    StringValues = Replace(StringValues, ")", "")
    StringValues = Replace(StringValues, "(", "")
    StringValues = Replace(StringValues, "'", "")

    ArrayValues = Split(StringValues, ",")

    For Each Value In ArrayValues

         Debug.Print CDbl(Value)

    Next

End Sub

A: Another way, more generically and separating only numbers:
Dim str, newstr As String
Dim arr() As String
Dim i As Integer
str = "('128003848885492'), ('128003848885502')"
For i = 0 To Len(str) - 1
   If IsNumeric(Mid(str, i + 1, 1)) Or Mid(str, i + 1, 1) = "," Then
      newstr = newstr & Mid(str, i + 1, 1) 'We extract only the numbers and the comma.
   End If
Next i
arr = Split(newstr, ",")
MsgBox (arr(0)) 'first number
MsgBox (arr(1)) 'second number

Buzz's political views still have a good distance to fall before they bump into Johnny Ramone's.
But whatever. He can think what he likes. It would be a different story if he was a criminal, like Burzum or Roman Polanski, or if he used the band to promote white supremacy, like Burzum again.

As the conversation here shows, it's not a dichotomy of either cancelling a band on one hand or completely ignoring the politics and actions of a bandleader on the other.
You can talk about a musician's politics and explicit worldview, talk about their sound, talk about their discography, talk about their hair, talk about their gear, talk about how they treat other people behind the scenes, talk about their lifelong love of Nazi memorabilia and outspoken admiration for Holocaust architect Reinhard Heydrich (in the case of Ron Asheton), talk about whatever.
And if Buzz Osborne likes to rescue dogs in his free time but he thinks human beings should rot to death in cages in America's historically unprecedented racist incarceration machinery, and he's the guy singing all the songs, people are free to mention it. No need to get uptight about it.

Now Bernie Sanders, on the other hand. What is wrong with young people today supporting this creepy old socialist from the Northeast? I don't get it. Does he honestly want us to believe any of this stuff? His idea to close the gap between the rich and the poor by taking money away from the rich and then plowing it into an inefficient government bureaucracy staffed by brain dead money wasting lazy morons called government employees? He wants education to be free, so in other words he doesn't want people to have to pay a student loan, but he has no problem with people having heavy taxes. He wants me to pay for it — he thinks I, someone who's not going to college and never went to college, should support people who do.
This scans like some average, typical middle-aged male American stuff.
As someone said upthread, it's American small-business-owner shit. The guy who has a car dealership or a swimming pool business. A huge and important segment of Trump's base.

Trying to decide if that still works. If I can just turn it off completely like that in 2019.
I advocate for this almost daily in my job through literature. Wallace Stevens was a piece of shit conservative; Hemingway, oy vey, not a good dude. Still cover their work all the time.
I don't know if I could go that far with bands or public artists today, and if I did I think it'd be my own privilege screaming loudly.

I hear ya. Not going to defend him because I've got no skin in this game (Melvins), but I guess I just see Libertarians for what the ones I've known personally generally are - short-sighted selfishness that also happens to be anti-government. I was definitely that person when I was 20 and living in Missouri (I specifically remember having the viewpoint of "why should I pay for public schools? I'm not going to have kids and I mostly didn't go to one."). So on some level I guess I get that narrow-minded way of thinking. I don't agree with it. But it's just selfishness. I'd like to think I've come a long way from that. I'm all for socializing everything these days.
Anyway, we all have our lines in the sand. This just isn't where mine is, and it doesn't matter if I like the band or not.

Steve Austin is one of the greatest musicians that ever lived IMO, and he has a fixation for guns. And if I knew more about his political views, I'm sure I wouldn't like it.
Still love him and support him.
I don't approve, but I respect him as an artist and even as a person with different views.
When artists are concerned I have more problems with incoherence or hypocrisy than with people thinking differently, as long as it's nothing like racism or homophobia or stuff involving human rights in general.

I'm sorry I spilled so much ink and took this all too seriously. We talk shit about musicians here and I shouldn't be so touchy. It's just that people who I have met and spent time with and enjoyed are people I'm going to reflexively defend. Even more so if I like their art, words, or music.
Take it or leave it but I'd defend a lot of you as reflexively too, because you're included in that group of people I have crossed paths with and whose art and music and words and company I enjoy.

Eh, it's ok to come to the thread of a band to say that you find band guy's politics to be gross/objectionable. It's ok to come defend band guy, too, if that's what you want to do, I guess.
Buzz isn't (as far as I've seen) espousing racist or hateful shit. His evident politics place him more in "this guy seems like a dick" zone than "this guy seems like a monster" zone.
The grossest thing about Buzz is still this:
Wood Goblin wrote: As for Buzz, I've never liked how readily he trash-talks former band mates and friends in interviews.
It's not just Cornell/Soundgarden, either... dude has talked shit about more former band mates and friends than I can count. All signs point to him being a bitter dick.
On another note, this:
jbar wrote: I definitely do not like Steven McDonald's Dr Rockso bullshit, so it was a real treat seeing him play in TWO bands last night.
This dude is a bummer to watch live. Jokey and hokey.
The band's music has been goofy and Zappa-esque (solid comparison) for a while now. I still really enjoy a solid two decades worth of Melvins records, though, and that's a really impressive run. I like 95% of the content on every record from the beginning through the earlyl/mid-2000's. Even if I'm not into their newer records, I'm glad they're still out there and glad I get to see them play from time to time, especially when Steven McDonald's cheesy ass isn't joining them.

Blegh. I actually read some of those more recent interviews. That stuff is a drag. There's some pretty deep hook phrases I've read too often grading undergrad papers. I can't help but find so much of libertarian lines of reasoning to be either morally deficient (to be kind) or terribly naive.
There was some line about legalizing drugs but not supporting rehab funding. This is just drug abuse as death sentence. Not everyone with a habit has a group of support eager to sort them out. The lack of such a resource may even be correlated with addiction. I don't know. But the alternative is for marginalized people with deadly pain killers to conveniently die off out of sight in poor minority communities, the Appalachians, or wherever (or on Fox News if you live in WA or CA). So that's the hard hearted part and presumably not the libertarian's problem (though that is short sighted on the societal level). While personal commitment is a necessary condition for rehab it is not, save for rare examples, sufficient.
But he goes further to suggest that something would be solved by legalizing public access to all medications. This is either just clowning around or moronic. It suggest a pathological distrust of expertise and a grandiose faith in the cult of the individual. By bypassing prescriptions you just cut out the doctors, who I'm no great fan of but are the skilled labor that separate medicine from trial and error mushroom eating. And it does nothing to address the prohibitive costs of medications and all the nefarious crap that goes into setting those prices.
Sorry this should be in the libertarian page, if there is one. And maybe Buzz doesn't self identify as libertarian. What ever. He's in the ballpark. He's in the diamond. I'm surrounded by this ideology these days. I've had to grade so many papers filled with these half thought out measures. And yes, I graded fairly. That said, I really like that Bulls & The Bees EP and the double album that came out a few years ago. Lots of those tracks get stuck in my head lately.

Surely this discussion has been had here many times, but could literally write down 100 names of people I wouldn't have wanted to have dinner with...or even meet...who made amazing art that I really love.
I don't know anything about his politics other than that he was conservative, but if you teach Stevens, I don't think you need advocate for anything other than the apex of an art form.
I do feel one has to clear a bit more of a hurdle creatively if not there as a person otherwise. Hemingway is actually a good example of someone who doesn't make it for me.
Fair to say that on the Thinker Scale, Buzz is not on the same end of it as Wallace Stevens or Ezra Pound or Nietzsche or whoever. Which may be a point in his defense. Is it a luxury to not give a shit about politics and/or be ignorant about the world outside of your own life? Yeah. Is it understandable? Yes. Many of us know how exhausting it is to think about it very much, much less actually act in some way.
I have said some dumb shit in my life, and some of my best friends spent literally years doing it a lot. We're all a bunch of idiots, basically. Knowing I'm an idiot, I try to be careful of who I write off. They have to really prove it, and even then, I might still buy their records if they're good enough.

Buzz can come across as hypocritical as well, like when he took over a fan forum because the fans were posting negative reviews about the 'Bulls and the Bees' album. He (his rep) started booting members and erasing posts. It was bizarre and a bit sad.
He ruins more than a few songs with his bass twiddlings, flourishes, and goofball poses.
The bands discography is outstanding, up until Nude With Boots, and tends to run downhill after that. I tend to get the feeling the band is more concerned with milking their fans with manufactured limited edition EPs, instead of crafting the type of songs that they used to for the first twenty or so years of their career.

I honestly can't think of another band who has had more wild comparisons and superlatives dumped on them, only to have their music be mostly devoid of any lasting substance. They really had some interesting things going one with Gluey Porch Treatments and parts of Bullhead. Also, maybe that first single off of Houdini? Otherwise, I'm kinda at a loss. I honestly wish I heard what others hear because all of the ink thats been dropped makes them come across as some fucked-up, metal band from Neptune, and nothing in their music comes even remotely close to that. As I go in make a wild comparison myself; they sound like Ween jamming with godheadsilo. You wonder, had the Nirvana connection not been so strong, they would have ended up being a longer running Hammerhead.
That all being said, they bring a ton of joy to their fans, obviously, and that allows them to make money off their deal, which is cool for a band of their ilk. Buzz seems to be the 50-year-old version of your cousin who goes to the Alternative High School and just discovered pot for the first time, but I don't think that makes him necessarily a bad dude. I did read that he was on that Fox News "youth" show, Red Eye, which is a bummer, but I haven't gone further down the rabbit-hole on his politics.
Anyway, meh.

You're not listening if you think they're operating in the same league as all the amrep stuff that followed in their wake.
They did the heavy punk thing well ahead of schedule, then proceeded to push the boundaries of rock music on their first run of indie releases. The number of sub-genres that were influenced by a Melvins record (or even just a single song) is nuts. They're innovators on the scale of Black Flag, IMO.
Grunge, drone, doom, sludge, grind (Ozma's song structures are a big influence on the more musically able bands like Brutal Truth and Pig Destroyer), noise rock… Buzz and Dale are the ground zero for so much music.
I totally get why their obnoxious attitude is a turn-off. I understand that you're joining in with some pile-on here to feel like you belong to a group of like-minded people. But come the fuck on.

A Mamoa de Sejães está coberta por terra, mimosas e pinheiro e fica junto à Estrada Municipal 505, entre Terroso e Rates, perto da Cividade de Terroso.

Dado que ainda não foram feitos estudos arqueológicos, nada se sabe sobre a estrutura do monumento; provavelmente, pelo seu aspecto, não se encontra violada após milhares de anos de acção humana intensa na região, o que a confirmar-se será caso único no concelho.

A Mamoa da Cova da Andorinha, a Mamoa de Abade (logo abaixo de Sejães) e a Mamoa de Monte Redondo encontram-se violadas; a Mamoa da Estrada está destruída. Existem referências a várias outras mamoas ou antas antigas no concelho, tais como Mão Pedrosa em Beiriz ou leira da Anta entre Terroso e Amorim e uma em Balazar.

Airman's Death in Syria Highlights Role of Space Command Downrange
Staff Sgt. Austin L. Bieren, 25, a security forces Airman, died from suspected natural causes while deployed to northern Syria in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. (U.S. Air Force photo)
Military.com | By Hope Hodge Seck
The death of a 25-year-old airman assigned to Air Force Space Command in Syria this week is tragic, but his presence downrange in support of the fight against the Islamic State is illustrative of the quiet role U.S. space forces play in ongoing fights, the head of U.S. Strategic Command said.
Staff Sgt. Austin Bieren, of Umatilla, Oregon, died March 28, reportedly of natural causes. A member of the 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, he had been deployed to northern Syria.
Speaking at the Military Reporters and Editors Association conference near Washington, D.C., Air Force Gen. John Hyten said it is far from unusual for space troops to be present in hot combat zones.
"It's one of the interesting things that's very misunderstood in our country, is that if you're conducting a military operation anywhere in the world -- anywhere in the world, space is fundamental to the execution of that military operation," he said. "I was the director of Space Forces [for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom] in 2006 in Central Command. And when I was director of Space Forces, at that time, guess where I was -- I was in Iraq, Afghanistan, all through the Middle East."
The little-reported activities of Space Command and service-specific counterparts focus on satellite communications and activities, and information of tactical value to troops downrange, including satellite-based intelligence, weather and missile-warning systems.
Hyten said during the fighting in Fallujah in the early 2000s, there was a joint space support team, commanded by a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel and staffed with airmen and soldiers, who brought space capabilities to bear for Marines in combat.
"I can't tell you what the airman specifically was doing in Syria, but anywhere we have military operations, you will find space people deployed," Hyten said. "In the Army divisions, in the Army [brigade combat teams], in any ground maneuver unit, you'll find space people."
The perceived significance of space capability to the fight is underscored by the relative paucity of American military personnel in Syria.
There's a Pentagon-imposed troop cap of just over 500 troops, although the number of personnel in country is actually roughly 900, due to the authority of commanders on the ground to make temporary exceptions. Other personnel on the ground include advise-and-assist forces and special operations troops, among others.
"It's tragic that we lost that young man in kind of a strange way for a 25-year-old, but nonetheless space is embedded in everything we do," Hyten said. "So anywhere you have American military people, you're going to have space."

Along the burnished foothills of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked alongside the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, lies a sinuous and arresting building clad in copper. Appearing to meld with the landscape, its russet walls mimic the hues and rugged terrain of the red buttes that tower above its rooftop. The architecture of the The Natural History Museum of Utah is nearly as astonishing as the vast array of over 1.2 million treasures housed inside. Your journey begins the moment you climb the hill to the museum's parking area. Soak in the views of the wide Salt Lake Valley and prepare to transport yourself back in time. Walking to the entrance is a trip in itself. The passage of time is depicted along markers as you approach the main entrance, providing context for the vast breadth of the earth's ages. To conceptualize the brief blip of time that humans have existed on earth helps to frame the wonders contained within the museum's glimmering walls.
Nine permanent exhibitions within NHMU provide enough wonder for an afternoon stroll or an entire day of discovery. The museum also curates 1 rotating exhibition hall, which has unlocked secrets surrounding a diversity of subjects from horses, to chocolate, to the power of poison, to the current exhibit: Vikings—Beyond the Legend. Thanks to a partnership with the Swedish History Museum, patrons can gain insight into the daily lives of the intrepid Viking people. With over 500 objects that have never been showcased before in the USA, you can expect a memorable experience!
The thoughtful design of NHMU's building is reason enough to pay a visit. (Don't believe me? Insider declared NHMU the most beautiful building in the state of Utah.) The main hall captures the essence of the towering walls of canyon country in Southern Utah with the added bonus of breathtaking views of the Salt Lake Valley. The flow of the museum experience will seamlessly take you up 4 floors with a rewarding visit to the weather stations perched on the rooftop deck.
I remember visiting the old NHMU as a young child, located in a decrepit building along President's Circle on the University of Utah campus. When the museum relocated to the foothills of Red Butte in 2011, the collection on display tripled in size and found new life in a space as inspiring as Utah's singular natural landscape. Take a moment to watch volunteers and scientists process bones before heading into a lofty galleria stuffed full of roaming dinosaurs. The wall of ceratopsian skulls depicting their phylogeny is a personal favorite.
Effortlessly gliding upward to the next exhibit, admire intimidating megafauna, simulate the rise and fall of the ancient Lake Bonneville and find new appreciation for the salty lake for which our fair city is named. The museum provides interactive exhibits for all patrons; children and adults alike will enjoy creating an earthquake, smelling Utah's native flora, and learning about the role of wind and water in shaping a landscape.
Learn about the ancient peoples who creatively adapted to the tough conditions found in Utah and the Intermountain West. Over 3,000 historic Native American artifacts are beautifully displayed and provide insight into the lives of Utah's first inhabitants.
Be certain to check the museum's event schedule often, as they host a fantastic diversity of classes and workshops. I've actually taught classes on how to make your own terrarium, and I can say these workshops are a fun, inexpensive way to spend an evening. From Norse Fest to a Paint Mixer Workshop or an Indian Art Market, the NHMU provides ample opportunity to cultivate a new skill or passion.
Coming up next, you can expect great things from the newest exhibition in February, Nature's Ultimate Machines, when the Vikings exhibit moves on. Then, in November, experience the fascinating complexity of the ancient Mayan culture. The museum is open 363 days a year and offers a fun opportunity to visit in the evening on Wednesdays. Plan your visit here and make note of the free admission dates offered by the museum.
I can hardly imagine a more inspired building to serve as an educational hub for the natural history of Utah's landscape. Visiting NHMU is always at the top of my recommendation list when friends stop in town. It's difficult to say if I like the building or the impressive collection of dinosaurs more, but regardless, a day at NHMU is a day well spent.


I have been attending WordCamps for a long time now. My first was back in 2009 for WordCamp UK in Cardiff, my most recent WordCamp Manchester 2018. More recently there has been the trend of filming the talks and these are then placed on the WordPress.tv website.
Filming talks is a great idea and allows attendees to see videos from the alternative tracks available as well as allowing people who could not attend the event to view the talks. However recently it seems to be taking a long time to get things onto WordPress.tv. With that in mind, I set about trying to find a quicker solution that still produced a good quality video and did not cost the earth in terms of hardware and post-production time.
Before I continue with this post, I just want to outline that I am fully aware that all of this is done by volunteers and by no means is this post de-valuing the work they do, rather trying to pose an improved way to make life easier for everyone.
WordCamp Central currently have a suite of cameras and audio equipment for use at WordCamps in the US, Europe or Canada. This is great and involves an HD camera and wireless audio transmitters and receivers. However, this needs to be shipped around the world in order to get to the WordCamps which can be costly and take time.

In addition to this, the video files that come off the cameras can be large and moving large files between computers can be tricky and hence the ease of editing is difficult.
The other difficult thing is that the video/audio files are separate from the screencast of the presenter's slides. This means you have two video files to merge into one.
Not only WordCamp talks, but I have used this at local meet-ups too. When trying to come up with this setup I had a few goals in mind. I wanted to keep the price down as much as possible. I also wanted to kit to be portable, so that it could be transported easily in a laptop bag. Finally, it still had to be decent quality.
The idea with my setup was to capture the entire presentation in one piece of software on my laptop, using a video camera and external audio all connected to the laptop. I would also record my screen at the same time.
My kit, all setup ready to record at the WordPress Manchester User Group in November.
This is a piece of software for Mac, that allows you to record your screen, external audio from a connected Mic and also a feed from a webcam. It also provides pretty good editing facilities too.
Initially, I thought it using the laptop camera however that you mean that the camera would be too close to the subject. Therefore I thought that there would be nothing wrong with an external webcam because Screenflow would still pick this up.
We had already purchased this camera for one of our employees and it worked really well, recording good quality video.
As the presenter is likely to be stood further away from the laptop during recording (although not a million miles away) an external Mic would ensure better quality audio. I also use a standard 2-metre headphone extension cable so the presenter can be about 2.5 metres from the laptop.
To make sure the camera is not looking up at the subject, a simple tripod works well and the webcam above is tripod mountable which means it is secure. I also use a standard 3-metre USB extension cable so the camera can be about 3.5 metres from the laptop, which means you get a nice wider shot.
All this kit adds up to less than $220 dollars. In addition to this, and perhaps more importantly in terms of getting videos published quickly is the speed on editing.
I last used this setup at WordCamp Manchester 2019 and I managed to have the video edited in about 30 minutes, the same evening of the WordCamp and uploaded to Youtube within a further 90 minutes.
An additional advantage with using Youtube is the quite superb audio captioning for the videos which are automatic and does not require any work from the video editor. It is also extremely (if not 100%) accurate.
I have noticed in the video above some auto-focusing on the camera which has not been a problem before. I think this is because in this video I am moving in front of the camera rather than staying to one-side.
I have, however, downloaded the Logitech software and turned off the auto-focusing feature and therefore I hope the next video I do will be a little clearer and not have that annoying feature on.
Note to self: when recording another video at the WordPress Manchester meet-up this evening I noticed the finished audio was not picking up the correct Mic. This happened previously and I thought it was me not selecting the correct mic on record.
However this evening I was certain I have selected the correct mic. Turns out Screenflow does pick a mic that is plugged in after the software is loaded. Therefore you must plug in your mic then launch ScreenFlow for the software to pick up the mic.
Lesson learned and the experiment continues.
