City issues new guidelines on transgender pronouns
By Joe Tacopino
May 19, 2016 | 1:38am
The city has issued new guidelines that require employers and landlords to use pronouns such as "ze/hir" to refer to transgender workers and tenants who request them — or be subject to fines as high as $250,000. :eek:
The Commission on Human Rights issued the new legal guidelines this week, saying anyone who provides jobs or housing must use individuals' preferred gender pronouns.
As the legislation points out, some transgender individuals prefer to use pronouns other than he/him/his or she/her/hers.
Examples of less prominent pronouns that some transgender people may choose, according to the city, are: "ze," which is the third person singular, such as he and she; and "hir," which is the third person plural, similar to they.
The legal enforcement is in line with the city's guidance on discrimination based on gender identity or expression.
"Gender expression may not be distinctively male or female and may not conform to traditional gender-based stereotypes assigned to specific gender identities," the city advises.
An employer or landlord could be considered in violation of the guidelines if there is "intentional or repeated" refusal to use a person's preferred pronoun after that person has made it clear which one they prefer.
Penalties of up to $250,000 can be imposed for violations that are deemed to be the result of malicious intent.
The idea of using pronouns other than "he/she" has come to light in the past decade as more people are identifying with "non-binary" gender roles, meaning not traditional male/female.
The measure comes a week after the Obama administration issued a decree mandating that every US public-school district allow transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identities.
"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

FBI Tracked 5,723 Trump Supporters by their Phones with Help From Google at Jan. 6 US Capitol Protest – Because That Is the Most Pressing Security Issue in America Today
By Jim Hoft
Published December 1, 2022 at 7:30am
As long suspected, but not confirmed until October 13, 2022, the FBI testified that geo-tracking data is accurate and reliable.
A bombshell report by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) revealed the "vast, secretive" partnership between private companies and the federal government to surveil and track the movements of millions of Americans.
According to the EFF, the Biden Regime's alphabet agencies, including ICE, the FBI, US Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as state and local law enforcement, are being funneled hordes of private cell phone location data by private brokers who harvest the information.
This is the same tactic that Gregg Phillips, Catherine Engelbrecht, and True The Vote used for their investigation into the mail-in ballot dropbox fraud during the 2020 election. The cell phone location data collected by this group was used to identify the network of Democrat operatives who committed mass election fraud, as seen in the recently-released documentary "2000 Mules."
The FBI was alleged to have used this data to identify patriotic protesters who traveled to Washington DC on January 6, 2021, to support President Trump and the US Constitution.
Tens of thousands of nearly one million protesters later walked to the US Capitol following President Trump's speech.
That is where the FBI used geotracking to identify the movements of several targeted individuals.
Last week the FBI-DOJ confirmed they were using geotracking methods in their garbage lawsuit against the Oath Keepers.
On October 13, 2022, FBI Special Agent Jennifer Banks testified in the criminal prosecution of the Oath Keepers in USA v. Stewart Rhodes, et al, Criminal Case No. 1:22-cr-00015, that the same geolocation data underlying True the Vote's and Dnesh D'Souza's "2000 Mules" movie of widespread voter fraud in the November 3, 2020, presidential election IS ACCURATE and reliable.
More than that, the prosecution RELIED UPON that technology in prosecuting the Oath Keepers.
Special Agent Jennifer Banks testified in previous trials on the use of geotracking and phone data to identify suspects in FBI investigations.
And now we know the extent the of FBI's spying operation following the Jan. 6 protests in Washington DC on Jan. 6.
The FBI used geotracking to identify 5,723 devices of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.
These people committed the "crime" of protesting their government and a fraudulent election.
Now they must be punished.
What a complete waste of taxpayer money.
And what a complete violation of individual rights!
95% of the people they tracked committed the crime of standing near the US Capitol on January 6th. There were no markers up that they were trespassing.
This shows the current rot and depravity of the American ruling class.
Wired.com reported:
THE FBI'S BIGGEST-EVER investigation included the biggest-ever haul of phones from controversial geofence warrants, court records show. A filing in the case of one of the January 6 suspects, David Rhine, shows that Google initially identified 5,723 devices as being in or near the US Capitol during the riot. Only around 900 people have so far been charged with offenses relating to the siege.
The filing suggests that dozens of phones that were in airplane mode during the riot, or otherwise out of cell service, were caught up in the trawl. Nor could users erase their digital trails later. In fact, 37 people who attempted to delete their location data following the attacks were singled out by the FBI for greater scrutiny.

Last spring, I launched into a rant on my personal blog (due to some minor profanity, the linked-to article is labeled as not safe for work) over the way the tech media was labeling a lot of the activity that was going on in the tablet market. You see, back then, circa May 2011, the pockets of resistance against the iPad were beginning to fade, and people were starting to get it that this tablet thing was more than just a passing fad…. A lot of the media took the route of not simply articulating the iPad's strengths, but had to declare it great by putting down previously launched products, most notably the TabletPC. While I recognize that I may be in the minority, I will continue to say that these journalists made and continue to make a big whiff when they cite the presence or use of a stylus as a sign of automatic failure — as Steve Jobs asserted during the launch of the first iPhone. I respect Jobs, but his penchant for making binary statements, such as the one he made about what the presence of a stylus indicates, was never something that I agreed with. Ditto for anyone else who follows that philosophy.
Today, I am ecstatic to see companies finally having the spine to challenge that myopic perspective. One of the dynamics that I have always been wary of is the fact that most reviews and tech opinions on devices do not come from people who are like a lot of common Joes. Content creation and journalism is far and away from engineering, finance, and manufacturing. So when things are said like, "tablets are devices that are only suited for media consumption and not productivity", I note that this is a perspective from people who spend most of their days doing content creation. Not sitting in one board meeting after another, or out maintaining equipment in the field. For me, a tablet is indispensable as a portable means of taking notes and recalling data. Add that I do not want to be 'that guy' in a board meeting tacking away on a keyboard, especially when you are not the senior person in the meeting; a sentiment that I see being taken on by more and more workers and students. It is a also lot easier to take notes with digital ink and remain engaged in a conversation. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not particularly engaged in a conversation when I am hacking away on a keyboard.
We start to learn to write with devices that are analogous to a stylus from a very early age. Crayons. Pencils. Chalk. Markers. Pens. And while children are now exposed to a keyboard at a much earlier age, I still do not buy that typing on a keyboard is a more intuitive thinking experience than writing. If it honestly was, then there would be far less paper these days. And for all the discussion from the technoratti insisting on the value of a keyboard over a stylus and writing, I still see most journalists at meetings and press events scribbling into a moleskin notebook or equivalent rather than walking around with a laptop and typing standing up.
One thing to note in the remainder of this discussion is that I have mentioned before the bifurcation of the digital ink community over natural handwriting versus handwriting recognition. Again, I have never understood the declaration of handwriting recognition as a minimum requirement in a digital inking platform, so the recommendations below are based on just writing. I know that some people want handwriting recognition so that their notes are searchable, but it is not a feature that has ever been a requirement for me personally.
So, how do you get your digital ink groove on and replace all those sticky notes littering your apartment, desk, and office in the year 2012? It is not easy, and without a handy guide to give you some shortcuts, it can be a demoralizing, painful experience. Because I have endured some of this pain (and the expense associated with it), I thought I would jot down a few nuggets I have discovered in my search for the best fit digital inking experience.
What options were there? Any of these options might be a good fit for you. I have used some of these devices, and many have only been temporary fits. That does not inherently mean that they were insufficient. Review them all, pick what is best for you, and if you have more questions, please ask in the comments.


This past Spring I had my iPhone stolen while picking up a to-go order at a local restaurant. Because I was under contract I ended up paying a hefty price tag for my new iPhone. It was crazy expensive. Now I am watching this phone like a hawk and trying to protect it from anything I can. What's the worst thing that can happen to your phone? WATER. How can I protect my brand, spanking new iPhone 6s Plus from water? With a waterproof case! And yes, they really do work. The Sunwukin waterproof case has been protecting my new phone for a while now and it has been a phone saver more than once.
Picture this – It's a hot day and the temps are becoming unbearable. I'm sitting at my desk, trying to block out the uncomfortable heat, phone nearby and a tall glass of ice water nearby too. Well, it's so hot that the glass of water is sweating, soon there's a puddle of water around the glass and your phone. (this really did happen) If I would have had a standard case on my phone it could've been ruined. But I had the waterproof case on it. So all I had to do was pick up my phone and wipe off the case. The water never touched my phone!
This weekend we are going camping. It never fails to rain while we camp. NEVER. But there's also this amazing beach nearby. I know we are going to want to go and hang out by the water. And because I don't have a watch my phone will be coming with us. With the waterproof case I know my phone is protected. Protected from any possible water action and also from the sand.
While it is wonderful there are a few differences you need to be aware of. Your whole phone is sealed inside this case. That means – Your screen has a protector over it. If you are planning on using your fingerprint to lock the phone it may not work. I just use a passcode. I have never had an issue with the phone recognizing my touch but I do think a fingerprint scan may have an issue or two. All your buttons are covered. For me, I love this! No more little fingers messing with my volume settings or turning the phone on vibrate when I think it's on sound. And you may need to turn the volume up to hear while you are talking on the phone. Remember, the phone is enclosed. There are no wholes or gaps. You can't have total protection without making a few adjustments.
I'm very happy with the Sunwukin Waterproof phone case. It has already saved my phone from a water mishap. And I'm sure it'll save it from many more!

Valproic Acid for Prolonged Field Care
In June, three MCIRCC multidisciplinary research teams received Prolonged Field Care Research Awards from the Department of Defense's Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP). These awards call for the development of next-generation diagnostics, monitoring, resuscitation and stabilization methods for prolonged field care (PFC) and prolonged damage control resuscitation (pDCR). In June, we profiled research from Hakam Tiba, MD, who is using the eye as a window to the brain. We now turn our attention to Hasan Alam, MD, and his use of valproic acid (VPA) to minimize organ injury and prolong survival.
Most Americans are privileged in that if we suffer a serious injury, we're able to call an ambulance and be rushed to the necessary level of care. Unfortunately, our troops abroad do not have that luxury. As wars become more dangerous, battlefields become more isolated.
In future war zone scenarios, the Department of Defense (DoD) anticipates it could take up to 72 hours to evacuate a soldier after they've suffered a severe injury. Because of this, it is critical to develop technologies and treatments capable of sustaining the injured long enough so they may be transferred to higher echelons of care.
Dr. Alam believes that VPA is a promising treatment option in this scenario. His lab specializes in using this FDA-approved, anti-seizure medicine to treat critical injuries including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock.
As the leading cause of death for young people in the United States, researchers have been interested in the survival rate from accidental injuries for years. In particular, Dr. Alam was curious as to why some patients survive their injuries while others perish even after they've been treated. It is now believed that the activation of gene pathways and proteins in the body are essential in prolonging survival after an injury.
"When the body is injured, it disrupts the equilibrium. To try and maintain balance, a number of pro-survival pathways or genes are activated—but some patients do this more effectively than others. This pharmacological approach activates a number of these protective pathways within minutes, making survivors out of non-survivors," explained Alam.
If administered in high doses, VPA first activates the pro-survival pathways almost immediately. Later, the patient's protective genes are activated offering a delayed benefit to the patient. For TBI, this has been demonstrated to improve long-term neurological recovery and healing in large animal models. It is also beneficial for hemorrhage patients in sustaining their condition until they're transferred to a field hospital.
Not only is VPA effective, it's an ideal solution for the battlefield. The drug is easy to administer and requires no special storage. Because it has been in clinical use for more than forty years, it is widely available and inexpensive. In other words, it would be extremely feasible to see this treatment included in the packs of medics.
Alam is working with MCIRCC to expand the utility of VPA treatment. Among other ideas, he wants to develop a point-of-care device to test patients' blood to determine their level of pro-survival genes and pathways.
"MCIRCC serves as a platform to connect you with people you would never otherwise reach. For many of my projects, MCIRCC has been very helpful in taking it to the level where we can start translating ideas to practical applications with tools and devices. MCIRCC opens up doors that wouldn't have existed otherwise," said Alam.
Alam and his team received $3 million in funding from the DoD for this study. First, they're identifying the optimal dosage for treatment including the timing and amount needed to activate the pro-survival pathways. Secondly, they'll test how long the treatment will sustain a critically injured patient. It is their hope that VPA will be able to meet the unique challenges of the battlefield, especially in that crucial 72-hour window.

You can specify the type of connection that the user is requesting. For example, say you want to have different groups for WiFi users than you want for SSLVPN users. If both types of connection are requested through the same client device, ie a FortiGate, you have to specify the NAS Port Type on the Conditions tab.
Don't put the NAS Port Type in the Constraints tab. The Conditions get you access to the policy; failing the conditions results in the policy not being evaluated for pass or fail. A Constraints is something that the request must have in addition to the specified condition and failing the constraint test results in a deny reply, with no further policies being evaluated.
Connection Request Policies: frankly at this point I'm not sure I understand what the point of these are since you can put all the details into the Network Policy instead -- ie NAS Port Type or Client Friendly Name etc. Possibly it would make sense if you have specific Connection Request Policy limitations and a large number of Network Polices and a relatively few types of Clients, you could define the connection restrictions in fewer places. But my installations are all small (five Clients max, three Network Policies max) so I'm no expert on this.
Juniper EX switches don't seem to send a NAS Port Type for administrative login requests. So I usually stick the Network Policies for these devices at the bottom of the policy list.


After settling a 26-day strike by production workers May 6, the Lehigh Structural Steel Co., Allentown, has run into more difficulty with organized labor.
The company's contract with 12 draftsmen, who belong to the International Federation of Technical Engineers (IFTE), expired last week without a new pact to replace it.
Negotiations have reached an impasse and federal mediator Charles McHugh is meeting at the Allen Street plant with both sides to help resolve differences.
Joseph C. Klein, LSS vice president, is representing the company and Leonard Cornwall of Philadelphia is bargaining for the union. Issues in dispute have not been disclosed.
LSS manufactures large steel items to specification for builders across the nation. On May 6, members of Local 548, International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers, ratified a two-year contract with LSS and returned to work.
While the strikers' picket lines were up, there was no production at the plant that hugs the western bank of the Lehigh River.

The advent of cryptocurrency has also brought about a new wave or means of rewarding people. You can 'earn' for using products, services or spending hours online. This known as 'tokenizing'.
This is not a new concept and has been in use with the gaming world years. In this virtual world, you earned or bought tokens to help unlock new levels.
They allow you get better tools to help you complete a level in your fantasy, first-person shooter or Candy Crush game.
In the Crypto scene, however, your tokens are monetarily valued.
The difference between the token system in gaming vs crypto-trading is that with the former, you pay to get tokens whereas with the latter you earn tokens which have monetary value.
Some platforms issue the tokens free to attract new investors (in pump-and-dump schemes) and this is something that the authorities have been even more strict about regulating or banning altogether.
This is because of their misleading value often based on nothing tangibly owned. Some of these companies brazenly and aggressively list ICOs and then disappear within months with investor funds.
Recently a company claiming to offer a cryptocurrency had its operations shut-down completely by police.
Its alleged Ponzi-like scheme offering what they called 'OneCoins' needed you to 'pay in' to earn these tokens by adding more people to yours and the overall 'network'.
The 'so-called' coins despite being 'earned' and punted as being a new form of currency had no intrinsic value whatsoever . Thus, the rest is history with OneCoin.
You can use a more secure, means of earning such tokens. These can, in turn, be traded for Cryptocurrencies as intermediary currencies via a secure trading platform like on IQOption.
Popular Crypto trading exchange called Binance, has its own token called BNB. It is worth about $15 dollars each and currently ranked 8th on the global Crypto ranking.
It allows you to switch between coins on the platform, use it to offset commission or just trade it for cash.
So, you will be able to use some Bitcoins (BTC) to get Tron (TRX), for example, using your OTN token/s as the interchanger.
This is a more practical use of tokens and they are earned based on your Crypto trading activity and used to offset commission payments.
So, while there are no fees for depositing or withdrawing your funds trading Cryptos on IQOption, you pay a commission on each purchase.
This rate was 10% of each purchase but has recently been slashed to 2,9% – very reasonable when compared to other charges!
The Online Trading Network (OTN) as it is dubbed, is prepped for when the market goes live as a crypto exchange and the OTN tokens will serve as its own unique intermediator token.
And just like trading Forex, using your OTN tokens will be like exchanging South African Rands to US Dollars (intermediary) to get Ghanaian Cedi for example. You would exchange because the rate between the Cedi and Dollar is more favourable.
That way, you save somewhat by converting that way – gaining from 'spread' trading.
To understand a bit more about how the OTN Network works and how to earn them on IOption, watch the videos above and start a free trial before diving in.

Foreign Minister asks US to send back Bangabandhu's killer
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has sought repatriation of Bangabandhu's self-confessed and convicted killer Rashed Chowdhury from the United States (US).
"Bangladesh has long been appealing to USA to extradite him (Rashed Chowdhury) to his own country. Bangladesh has been asked to contact with the Department of Justice (US) in this regard," Dr Momen said.
Foreign minister Abdul Momen, now in Washington, met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington on a wide variety of issues including trade and investment.
The US secretary pledged to stand beside Bangladesh on finding a permanent solution to Rohingya crisis, according to media report.

Growing up poor has long been associated with reduced educational attainment and lower lifetime earnings. Some evidence also suggests a higher risk of depression, substance abuse and other diseases in adulthood. Even for those who manage to overcome humble beginnings, early-life poverty may leave a lasting mark, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of degenerative disease in adulthood.
Yesterday's post was about poverty and it's impact on American educational outcomes. I thought I'd follow that up by sharing a link to a recent piece from the opinion pages of the New York Times, one that asks a question that researchers don't often get the opportunity to examine: What Happens When the Poor Receive a Stipend? We're not talking about charity or welfare, but rather, what happens when we simply give poor people money with no strings attached and no end in sight?
Teaching preschoolers in a city that has a visible homeless population, I have conversations with them about poverty several times a year, including the one I wrote about in this post involving our "burglar." This is always the children's solution: "Give them food," "Give them houses," "Give them money." We adults, smug in the cynicism we often mistake for wisdom, nod along admiringly at their pure hearts and naiveté while making excuses for not giving this straight-forward solution a try, at least not on a scale that can be used for study purposes. Our mental experiments cause us to conclude that it would make people lazy, that it will rob them of the "dignity of work," that it would be far too expensive.
As it turns out, we may want to listen to our kids.
We already know that one in five American children live in poverty. We already know that these children face a much, much higher risk for psychiatric, behavioral, and emotional problems. But, when the Eastern Band of Cherokees in the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina decided in 1996 to to divide the profits from their new casino equally among their 8,000 or so members, roughly half of whom lived in poverty, a rare opportunity emerged for researchers.
. . . just four years after the (cash) supplements began, (researchers) observed marked improvements among those who moved out of poverty. The frequency of behavioral problems declined by 40 percent, nearly reaching the risk of children who had never been poor. Already well-off Cherokee children, on the other hand, showed no improvement. The supplements seemed to benefit the poorest children most dramatically.
Minor crimes declined, graduation rates increased, substance abuse dropped off. And why did it work?
The supplements eased the strain of that feast-or-famine existence . . . Some used the money to pay a few months' worth of bills in advance. Other bought their children clothes for school, or even Christmas presents. Mostly, though, the energy once spent fretting over such things was freed up. That "helps parents be better parents . . ."
Contrary to the cruel myth of Ronald Reagan's "welfare queens" living large on government handouts, the reality of poverty is extreme stress, a condition that makes it nearly impossible for parents to provide their children with the caregiver attention and warmth that protects developing brains from environmental stresses.
Early-life stress and poverty correlated with the shrunken hippocampus and amygdala, brain regions important for memory and emotional well-being, respectively. Again, parental nurturing seems to protect children . . . When it came to hippocampal volume in particular, parental warmth mattered more than material poverty.
Oh, but what about the cost? Certainly, even if we acknowledge that no-strings-attached cash supplements can alleviate many of the negative influences of poverty, society can't afford to be so generous. Or maybe the opposite is true. Maybe we can't afford not to.
Randall Akee, an economist at the University of California, Los Angles . . . argues that the supplements actually save money in the long run. He calculates that 5 to 10 years after age 19, the savings incurred by the Cherokee income supplements surpass the initial costs -- the payments to parents while the children were minors. That's a conservative estimate, he says, based on reduced criminality, a reduced need for psychiatric care and savings gained from not repeating grades.
As for making people lazy, the state of Utah's initiative to end homelessness in their state by simply giving homes to people who need them, again with no strings attached, is finding the opposite. This simple act, the solution, like the one to "give them money," for which the children of Woodland Park have long advocated, has not only resulted in a 74 percent decrease in homelessness, but has allowed many of these people to pull themselves together, to get healthy, to get cleaned up, to get enough rest, and ultimately to find jobs: the opposite of being lazy. Of course, Utah has also reported cost savings.
People often claim that poverty is a problem too big, complicated, and expensive for us to solve, but clearly it is not. And all this without pointing out that it's the right thing to do. Only cynicism, tortured moralizing, and political ideology stand in the way.
Listen to your children. They know this already: give them food, give them homes, give them money. Only then can we really hope to give them education.
Let Me Repeat That: It's The Poverty, Stupid!

On Friday, Governor Martinez signed Senate Bill 42 into law. Under the new law, the NM Human Services Department (HSD) will no longer terminate Medicaid coverage for individuals who are incarcerated, suspending their enrollment instead. The law also calls for HSD to give incarcerated individuals who are not yet enrolled in Medicaid the opportunity to apply for coverage before they are released. These simple changes will make it much easier for people newly released from jail or prison to have immediate access to healthcare services upon re-entering the community. This can make a big difference to our state and to recently released individuals and their families. This law is a good step forward in increasing an individual's likelihood of receiving the care and services they need, both in physical and behavioral health, and successfully re-entering the community.

Flag Day in Uzbekistan Date in the current year: November 18, 2023
National Flag Day in Uzbekistan is celebrated annually on November 18. It was established to commemorate the adoption of the flag of Uzbekistan in 1991.
When Central Asia was conquered by the Russian Empire in the 19th century, there were three Uzbek states in the territory of present-day Uzbekistan: the Emirate of Bukhara, the Khanate of Kokand, and the Khanate of Khiva. Each of them had its own flag that had little in common with the other two or with the modern flag of Uzbekistan, except for the crescent typical for Islamic flags.
After the October Revolution, the Emirate of Bukhara was transformed into the Bukhara SSR Republic, the Khanate of Khiva into the Khorezm SSR, and the Khanate of Kokand into the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Again, each of them had its own flag; this time, the flags were similar because they were based on the revolutionary red flag.
In 1925, the three republics were liquidated, and their territory was divided between the Uzbek SSR and the Turkmen SSR. The first flag of the Uzbek SSR was a red rectangle with a golden inscription saying "UzSSR" in Uzbek and in Russian in the top left corner. The design was revised several times after that. The final version, adopted in 1952, was a red cloth with a horizontal blue stripe with thin white borders in the middle. In the top left corner, there were the golden hammer and sickle and a five-pointed star.
In 1991, Uzbekistan declared independence from the collapsing Soviet Union. One of the tasks facing the new government was the creation of a national flag, since Uzbekistan didn't have a "historical" flag. A contest was held to determine the new design, and the winner was chosen by a special commission from more than 200 submissions.
The winning design incorporated elements inspired by the flags of various Uzbek states. For example, the azure color is widely used by Turkic peoples for heraldic purposes; an azure crescent was present on the flag of the Khanate of Khivia.
The national flag of Uzbekistan consists of three horizontal bands of equal width, separated by two narrow red stripes. The azure band symbolizes clear water and blue sky, the white band stands for peace and purity, and the green band is a symbol of Uzbekistan's rich and diverse nature. Finally, the red stripe stand for courage and life.
In the top left corner of the flag, there are a crescent moon and twelve five-pointed stars. The crescent, as we've already mentioned above, is a popular Islamic symbol, and the stars have many meanings: twelve zodiac signs, twelve months of the year, the age of maturity for boys in Islam, and more.
The national flag of Uzbekistan was adopted on November 18, 1991, making Uzbekistan the first newly independent republic in Central Asia to replace the old Soviet flag with a new one. Turkmenistan followed suit on February 19, 1992, Kyrgyzstan on March 3, 1992, Tajikistan on November 24, 1992, and Kazakhstan on June 4, 1992.
Flag Day in Uzbekistan is marked by flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremonies at national monuments. It is not a non-working day unless it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

REDDING ? The California Department of Transportation District 2, CalFire and The California Highway Patrol warn motorists of the high fire conditions along roadsides. The extremely dry vegetation makes it easy to ignite roadside fires.
? Keep cars in sound mechanical condition, assuring there are no parts hanging or dragging underneath the vehicle that may cause sparks. This is the number one cause of roadside fires.
? Do not throw burning cigarettes or matches from a moving vehicle.
? When towing a trailer, ensure that the safety chains are properly installed and not dragging on the roadway.
? Do not pull off the roadway into high grasses; hot catalytic converters can ignite the dry grass.
Caltrans has reminded motorists in the event of a fire incident, the roadway may be closed. To report fires, call 911.

JONAS PANERIO
THE Small Basketeers of the Philippines (SBP) squad of the University of the Visayas (UV) will be up against some tough odds as they face off against the country's best in the 34th SBP Passerelle Twin Tournament National Finals - backed by Milo at the Dinggoy Roxas Civic Center in Roxas City on Saturday, November 23 and 24, 2019.
The UV squad of head coach Ronald Bucao is seeking to finally claim the title after falling short and finishing in second last year. However, the very same squad that defeated them last year--the La Salle Greenhills--remains the title-favorites as they look to capture a fifth straight national crown.
Also in the mix for the SBP title are the Berkeley School of Baguio and the Corpus Christi School of Cagayan de Oro.
Competing for the Passerelle crown are defending champions National University, Hercor College of Roxas, Xavier University High School and the International School for Better Beginnings of Lucena.
The SBP Passerelle Twin Tournament is the premier tournament for the age group/grassroots level. The SBP is for the Under 12, 11 and 10 age groups, while the Passerelle division is for the Under 15, 14 and 13 age groups.
Games of this nationwide tournament started in August at the local level in Baguio, Pangasinan, Pampanga and Lucena for Luzon; Iloilo, Roxas, Bacolod and Cebu for the Visayas; Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Zamboanga for Mindanao. Metro Manila served as one region. Regional championships were then held in October and November, leading to this weekend's national finals.

Leverage reprieve may be short-lived
The market decides
13 Jan 2014 By Dominic Elliott
Banks' reprieve from leverage ratio prescriptions could be short-lived. The Basel Committee that oversees global banking rules has tweaked the way it measures a lender's equity as a proportion of its assets. European banks with big fixed income trading operations, like Deutsche Bank and Barclays, stand to benefit most and their shares have rallied. But the flipside is that a common global measure could in time be raised more easily.
Basel has now watered down banking rules on everything from liquidity to securitisation. But the leverage tweaks look sensible. Banks will no longer have to count cash collateral as an asset against which equity must be held – it is, after all, cash. Banks will be able to subtract from their assets' calculation any trades that effectively double count business with the same counterparty. That's common sense.
The result is something much closer to the U.S. formulation of bank leverage. Previously, the U.S. 6 percent leverage ratio that big banks with federally insured deposits will have to meet was roughly equivalent to 3 percent ratio under Basel. It will now be easier for investors to compare international banks.
For now, the softer rules should be a shot in the arm for Barclays and Deutsche. Both lenders had scrambled to meet the 3 percent minimum level in the second half of last year and faced the prospect of being forced to cut their trading books if the bar was raised. Any reduction in so-called repo assets – the grease of fixed income trading – would have direct implications for revenue, according to research by Citi.
Continuing the balance-sheet diet would be wise either way. Basel has hinted it may raise its minimum level in time. And banks have found with risk-weighted capital ratios that Basel's yardstick and the market's are not necessarily the same. Although Basel III only requires banks to meet a 7 percent minimum by 2019, investors have for more than two years regarded anything less than 10 percent as falling short. Leverage could be investors' next target.
European banks will benefit from less onerous global regulatory requirements for minimum equity-to-assets ratios after the Basel Committee on Jan. 12 published rules that allow for relief for certain types of trade and financing.
The Basel Committee said banks would be permitted to net off securities financing transactions on a limited basis where several trades were conducted with the same counterparty when calculating their leverage ratios. There will also be more lenient treatment for off-balance items and cash used as collateral for trades.
Banks are currently required to meet a minimum leverage ratio of 3 percent under Basel III rules. However, the Basel Committee said it would monitor data on a semiannual basis "to assess whether the design and calibration of a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3 percent is appropriate over a full credit cycle and for different types of business models."
The Basel Committee said: "The final calibration, and any further adjustments to the definition, will be completed by 2017." Banks will have to comply by the start of 2018.
By 1030 GMT, Deutsche Bank shares were up almost 4 percent; Barclays shares had climbed 3.5 percent.

In the name of the Christ, My Own Real Self, I call to the Heart of my Mighty I AM Presence, to the Angel of the Presence, to Beloved Archangel Michael, Kuan Yin and the Maha Chohan, to take me to the etheric retreat of Beloved Portia over Ghana, according to the will of my Holy Christ Self and the direction of the Maha Chohan. I ask to be taught the balance of justice and mercy within my heart and seat of the soul chakra, especially as it pertains to understanding God-Justice as opportunity.
Beloved Portia, help me to remember upon awakening all that will help me to fulfill my mission on earth and the mission of my twin flame. I accept this call manifested through the power of the Christ and am thankful for its realization. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother, Amen.

Multibagger stock delivers 147% returns in 6 months; Also has a joint venture with RITES
Trade Brains
The shares of Power Mech Projects Ltd surged to a record high of ₹ 2398.00 apiece on the BSE during early trades on Wednesday. The stock has outperformed the benchmark index this year (YTD) and has given multibagger returns.
Power Mech Projects is an engineering and construction company providing integrated services in the erection, testing and commissioning (ETC) of boilers, turbines and generators and balance of plant (BOP), civil works and operation and maintenance (O&M).
In October this year, the company's joint venture (JV) with RITES (NS: RITS ) received an order worth over ₹ 499.41 crores from the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL). According to a regulatory filing, the order is for the construction of a Depot cum workshop at Challaghatta in Reach-2 Extension of the Bangalore Metro Rail Project, Phase-2. In addition, it has 112 ongoing projects including 44 AMCs and 11 overseas projects as of November 2022.
The company said that it is focusing on expansion to new areas in railways, water projects, roads, coal mining, electrical, steel plant works, material handling, oil & gas sector across the value chain, cross-country pipelines, urban infrastructure projects, etc. In addition, it is also focusing on heavy steel fabrication works with investments planned to reduce site costs and better and faster delivery.
Its shares have rallied 147.64% in the last six months to give multibagger returns. They were available at ₹ 955.10 at the beginning of this year and reached ₹ 2398.00 levels on Wednesday. Therefore, if an investor would have invested ₹ 1 lakh in the company's shares at the beginning of this year, the value of their holdings would have been ₹ 2.47 lakhs today.
Similarly, in the past five years, the company gave multibagger returns of 216.46% as its share price increased from ₹ 757.75 to ₹ 2398.00. This means that if an investor would have invested ₹ 1 lakh in the company's shares five years ago, the value of their holdings would have been ₹ 3.16 lakhs today!

---

Today was the last day of the conference part of JAOO. It's not over, though, as there will be tutorials tomorrow and
Friday.

I spent most of the day in the track called Professional Developer. This track was hosted by Bob Martin, and featured a
lot of interesting talks. First up was Kevlin Henney, who did a talk called With Economy and Elegance. I always find
Kevlin to be an interesting speaker, and this was no different. The only "problem" with Kevlin is that he is so smart and
such a fast thinker, that it is really hard to keep up with his ideas. I hadn't seen Kevlin until today, and was
wondering where he had got to this year, and I was pleasantly surprised when he came up to me before the talk and said
hello and chatted for a while. He told med that he had been travelling a lot lately, amongst other places, to
Trondheim!!!, and therefore couldn't justify spending the whole week in Aarhus.

Following Kevlin was a talk by Laurent Bossavit that describe the old craftsman societies of France and Europe and how
they were structured and how they handled passing on the craft. There is a resurgence of such societies that also
include software professionals, and the ideas of craftsmen and their apprentices and journeymen are an interesting way
of dealing with training in the software profession.

The third talk of the day, was a chance for me to see and hear Michael Feather speak for the first time. Michael has
written many influential articles and books, from the humble dialog, through rules for unit tests to the book
"Working Effectively with legacy code".
He did a really interesting talk on error prevention, listing several techniques for preventing bugs in code including
inspection, design-by-contract, formal notation for specification and test driven development. His point was that we are
not using these techniques to the extent we should, and that they all have value and we should use at least one of them.
As you may know, I'm a real fan of Test-Driven Development, and prefer that, but I see that something like
design-by-contract can have its benefits as well.

The final talk was by Pete McBreen on Software Craftsmanship. Pete has written a
book by the same
name that I really enjoyed, and I think that looking at software development as a craft has real benefits.

I took the last session off, and just wandered around for a bit, trying to let my impressions sink in a bit. During this
time I finally also caught up with Dave Thomas (Smalltalk Dave or Big Dave, not Prag Dave), who I also hadn't seen
earlier at this conference. I thought that was strange because he is on the program committee, and he told me that he
too came in only last night, having spent the last couple of weeks on safari in Africa. Then I ran into Charlie Nutter
and Thomas Enebo (the JRuby guys), and ended up hanging out with them looking at the JRuby code. I'll talk more about
that in another post, but the thing that really surprised me was that I was able to download their trunk from
subversion, load it up into Netbeans, and successfully run the JUnit tests without failures. That shows great dedication
on their part.

We all went together to listen to the final panel, where Erik Meijer, Eric Evans, Erik Dörenburg (Thoughtworks) and
Diana Larsen (Agile coach) debated about key things they had learned at the conference. The panel was led by Martin
Fowler. Interestingly  one of their main points was Glenn Vanderburg's talk on The overlooked power of JavaScript, and
this really got an interesting discussion going in the audience.

Charlie and Thomas were going to the speakers dinner, and the bus was leaving from my hotel, so we went back there and
had a quick beer together before they had to leave. Those two are really interesting individuals, and clearly were
committed to making a Java implementation for Ruby so that the rest of us can enjoy Ruby on the JVM. I'm going to look
into ways to help them with this. This is something I would like to contribute to if I'm able. We'll see.

So the final day is over. Now only the tutorial tomorrow remains. That promises to be interesting, and I'll let you know
how that went tomorrow afternoon.

What is Linux?

How to Configure a Touchscreen on Linux
Ah the touchscreen ─ that piece of hardware that promises to finally strip humanity of an interface very much long in the tooth. I'm talking about the mouse. It's that piece of technology that is being threatened with extinction, thanks to the touchscreen. And with good reason. Once you've used the touchscreen, you fully understand that they are, in fact, a much-needed breath of fresh air.
But in Linux-land, all isn't exactly rosy. Once you get your hands on a supported device (such as the fantastic System76 Sable Touch running Ubuntu 14.10), you'll find that not everything works as you'd expect. Sure there are some handy three and four finger multi-touch gestures that work out of the box, but the go-to gestures (such as right mouse click and Firefox scrolling) simply don't work.
The good news, getting those very necessary gestures to work isn't all that challenging. It does, however, require the installation of an app and a Firefox extension. The bad news is that not all distributions respond the same way to these workarounds. Ultimately, this falls into the hands of the Linux community to resolve, as touchscreens aren't going away (and, in fact, will continue to rise in popularity). With that said, let's take a look at what you can do to get that shiny new touchscreen device working in a way that actually makes sense.
First we're going to address the browser ─ since that is one of the most-used tools of the desktop trade. There's a bit more bad news on that front ─ you're going to have to scrap Google Chrome. Why? Because, at least as of this writing, Google Chrome and Linux touchscreens do not play well together. With that said, we're going to focus our efforts on Firefox and a simple extension.
Second, you will need to install and use a handy app called Touchegg. This app will serve as a means to configure specific events for touchscreen interaction.
With that said, let's begin.
Out of the box, Firefox doesn't much care for touchscreens. However, there is an extension you can install that will overcome that issue. The extension is called Grab and Drag. This extension will enable grab and drag scrolling as well as flick scrolling and momentum scrolling.
To install this extension click Tools > Add-ons and then click Get Add-ons. In the search bar of the new tab, enter "grab and drag." When the results appear (Figure 1), click the Install button associated with the Grab and Drag extension.
You will be prompted to restart Firefox. Do this and then, when it reopens go back into the Add-ons window, tap Extensions, select Grab and Drag, and then tap Preferences. In the Preferences screen, you can ignore the Momentum tab (as this feature doesn't work with touchscreens). You will, most likely, want to open the More Options tab and play with the Drag Multiplier setting (Figure 2). By default, the scrolling is rather slow. I've found a Drag Multiplier of 1.6 to be ideal for using touchscreens and Firefox.
Now that you have Firefox enabled, let's install an app that (in some instances) will allow you to control nearly every multi-touch gesture on Linux.
Touchegg
I'll demonstrate how to install this app on Ubuntu 14.10. I will also add a GUI tool that allows easier control over the configuration of gestures. The GUI tool, touchegg-gce, does have a number of dependencies that must be first installed.
Before we install the GUI, let's install the base tool. Touchegg can be found in the standard repositories, so a single command will install:
sudo apt-get install touchegg
Once that installation completes, let's install the dependencies for the GUI tool. The command for this is:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev libx11-6
After the dependencies are installed, download the Touchegg-gce file and place it in a directory that gives you write access (such as ~/). Here are the steps to install this app:
Change to the directory holding the .zip file.
Issue the command unzip Touchegg-gce-master.zip to extract the file.
Change into the Touchegg-gce-master folder.
Issue the command qmake
Issue the command make
Copy the touchegg-gce file to /usr/bin
That's it. You can now issue the command touchegg-gce from any directory and the app will run. When the app starts, you must first choose your language (this happens every time you run the app). From the app main window (Figure 3), tap the Load button to load your Touchegg configuration file (the default should be ~/.config/touchegg/).
At this point, you can either modify an existing gesture or add a new gesture. What you need to know about this process is the configuration options available. With each entry, there are four options:
Fingers: How many fingers make up the entry
Gesture: What is the actual gesture (tap, drag, pinch, rotate, Tap & Hold, Double Tap)
Direction: The direction of the gesture (All, Up, Down, Left, Right)
Action: What is the action associated with the gesture (i.e. Mouse Click, Scroll, Minimize, Maximize, Close, etc).
Tap (or click) the Add button to create a new gesture. For the purpose of example, we'll create a two finger drag for scrolling up. We'll create this gesture under the All Group (which means it will apply to all applications ─ more on this in a bit). From the popup window (Figure 4), configure the following:
Fingers: 2
Gesture: Drag
Directions: Up
Action: Scroll.
When you've configured this, tap OK and the gesture is ready to try out.
Let's say, however, you want to associate a specific gesture with a specific application (or group of applications). For that you must create a new Group. To do this, tap the Add button under the groups (on the left side of the window). In the popup (Figure 5), you have to configure three options:
Applications: The applications this gesture will use
Add to: Select <New Group> to create a new group
Take gestures from: You can import gestures from another group to serve as a template.
Once you've created the new group, you can create new gestures that will work only for that group.
After you've completed the process of creating gestures and groups, make sure to tap (or click) the Save button. If you do not do this final step, your configurations will be lost when you close the app. When you save the configuration, Touchegg will be restarted and your new gestures should work.
Even with the help of apps like Drag and Grab and Touchegg, Linux and the touchscreen have a long way to go. Not every gesture will work on every device and, in some cases, you might still find yourself grabbing a mouse more often than not. Hopefully, over the next year, we'll see major improvement on this front ─ otherwise Linux will struggle as more and more touchscreen devices are adopted.

Alexei Yashin got his first goal for CSKA but couldn't inspire the team to victory against his old colleagues at SKA St. Petersburg. Yashin put the Moscow men in front on a powerplay on 11:41, but Ivan Nepryayev equalized on 12:16 and SKA never looked back. Maxim Afinogenov made it 2-1 and Gleb Klimenko added a third before Sergei Shirokov made amends for his penalty shot failure by reducing the arrears on 37:47. There was to be no way back, though: Viktor Tikhonov made it 4-2 on 54:03.
Maxim Yakutsenya scored twice as Traktor Chelyabinsk won 2-1 at Ak Bars Kazan to take the lead in the Eastern Conference. The team from 'Tankograd' failed to reach last year's play-offs, but has begun the current campaign in impressive style. Yakutsenya, 30, is enjoying some of the best form of his KHL career, with seven goals in his first 12 games this season. Reliable defenseman Ilya Nikulin got Ak Bars' goal.
After slumping to defeat in Novosibirsk the pressure on Salavat Yulaev Ufa intensified after a 1-0 loss at Metallurg Novokuznetsk. The defending champion has been inconsistent this season - at least by usual standards - and is still adjusting to life after the departure of title-winning coach Vyacheslav Bykov. In Novokuznetsk Alexei Medvedev's goal on 41:44 proved decisive, and the hosts deserved their success on the balance of play.
Metallurg Magnitogorsk snapped a five-game losing streak with a much-needed 3-0 win over Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod - but had to work hard before prevailing. It took until 33:57 before Tomas Rolinek opened the scoring. Juhamatti Aaltonen made the game safe, adding a goal on 53:21 to his assist on Rolinek's opener, and Anton But added an empty net goal on 58:13.
Dynamo Moscow might not have the most star-studded roster in the KHL, but just as last autumn Oleg Znarok has his team on top of the table. A 4-0 win at Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk - a second road win in three days - moved the Blue-and-Whites to 26 points and allayed fears that the team could not perform away from Moscow. Konstantin Volkov opened the scoring on 18:19; second-period strikes from Grigory Shafigulin, Konstantin Gorovikov and Vyacheslav Kozlov sealed the win.
The Latvian capital is set to stage this season's all-star game, and the official announcement of January big event during the first interval helped inspire Dinamo to a 4-2 win over Lev Poprad. The Riga team has struggled this season, but found its form against the newcomers from Slovakia. Mikelis Redlihs has been Dinamo's star man this season, and he had a hand in all the goals, scoring the fourth and providing assists for Janis Sprukts and Martins Karsums (2). Karsums missed a chance for a hat-trick when his penalty shot was saved; Emil Lundberg and Martin Chabada scored for Lev.
Dinamo Minsk remain top of the Tarasov division after a 5-2 home win over Barys Astana. Daniel Corso (2), Geoff Platt, Jere Karalahti and Zbynek Irgl scored for the hosts; Brandon Bochenski had assists on both Barys goals with Jiri Novotny and Kevin Dallman scoring.

Thinknum, a NY-based alternative data platform, has expanded its product offering and gained increased traction with sell-side analysts, according to an interview with co-founder Justin Zhen.
Since we initially profiled the firm nearly a year ago, Thinknum has added fifteen public datasets, bringing its total offering to 65 datasets. The platform focuses on public data such as government contracts, product pricing data, store locations, as well as extensive social media data from sources such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
Thinknum uses web scraping to create proprietary datasets from publicly available information, such as product pricing derived from online sales (a chart for pricing of Samsonite products shown below).
The power of the platform is that all the data is organized by publicly traded companies, so for each ticker users can see all the relevant databases available, and can link them together to build a financial model for revenue forecasts. The company has added non-US coverage and doubled its company coverage to 4,000.
Thinknum's clients are primarily hedge funds, but the firm also been adding sell-side clients. Sell-side users now represent about 20% of the client base. Thinknum has recently been cited in reports from Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, RBC and Wells Fargo. The firm's flat fee of $400 per user per month is priced to be broadly attractive across client groups.
The company originated in 2014 as a financial model sharing site, similar in concept to GitHub which allows programmers to share open source code. Zhen was previously a hedge fund analyst and co-founder Gregory Ugwi worked as application developer at Goldman Sachs. The two met while attending Princeton University.
The firm pivoted its product focus from helping analysts build models to gathering alternative data because hedge fund clients were asking for alternative data inputs for their models. The firm still offers modeling capabilities, but with the rise of well-financed model distribution sites such as Visible Alpha and Canalyst, we suspect that Thinknum's focus will remain on alternative data.
Thinknum was funded with an initial seed round in 2014 through the accelerator 500 Startups. According to Zhen, the firm is currently profitable and growing quickly so it does not require funding.
There are a growing number of alternative data providers but Thinknum is unusual in how well it has integrated the data for financial analysts, and the ease of its analytics. The firm is also differentiated in its pricing strategy. Unlike data providers trying to skim hedge funds with high priced product, Thinknum has priced its product at a level to appeal to broad constituencies, including corporates. Partly the pricing strategy reflects a product focus on integrating publicly available datasets rather than trying to acquire private datasets exclusively.
We are not surprised by the growing use of the platform by the sell-side since Thinknum provides an interesting and affordable option, even for independent research firms, since the firm is not exclusively focused on the buy side.


The documentary features interviews with Jacobs' friends and numerous experts in the fields of economics, urban planning and engineering, including Mindy Fullilove, a research psychiatrist at Columbia University, and Jason Epstein, who edited Jacobs' book. It tells of the rivalry between Jacobs and infamous power broker Robert Moses, who is responsible for the Sheridan Expressway that current governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced a plan to tear down. Vintage television footage and energetic illustrations punctuate the roughly 90-minute film.
Sweeping aerial shots of foreign cities serve to remind the viewer that Jacobs' theories, and her many warnings against "slum clearance" and super-highways, apply throughout the globe, not just in New York City. "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" cautiously advocates for urban areas that "have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody," and it breaks down in great detail the reasons classical urban planners have overlooked the very residents they are planning for.

Termite damage is not a concern with either composite or vinyl fences.
Commonly formed from recycled plastics and wood pieces, composite fences look like wood, but you'll never have to paint or stain them. One of the main benefits of composite is the green factor -- you are not using new lumber to build a fence. The wood in composite fencing material typically comes from recycled chips or sawdust. Composite fencing is dense, which makes it strong enough to stand up to the elements for years but it is still relatively lightweight.
Composite fencing is generally more expensive than vinyl fencing. Because the fence has some wood in it, it does expand and contract somewhat with the changes in weather and may warp in extreme temperatures. In addition, you may get stains and mold on the fence's surface from nearby fruits and grasses touching the fence repeatedly over the years. Consistent maintenance and care can help prevent some of these issues.
Constructed strictly from PVC -- polyvinyl chloride -- vinyl fencing has the advantage of being inexpensive to buy and to maintain. If you are looking for a more modern fence, vinyl fencing is the answer. Like any plastic, it can be formed into any shape imaginable. Many vinyl fences are easier to install than composite because the panels notch together, rather than needing screws or nails.
Not all communities allow vinyl fencing, so check local codes or homeowners association regulations before you start shopping. Color fading and mildew are two problems you may get with vinyl fencing. Strong sunlight over the years changes the vinyl's color and wet weather makes the plastic perfect for mildew growth. Because vinyl is molded into panels, rather than constructed of smaller parts, repairing the fence is a challenge. A dent or split means you have to replace the entire panel, rather than a single board, as you would with composite or traditional wood fencing.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Fill a medium pot with water; bring to a boil. Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with a length of foil, letting foil edges hang over at least 2 inches on longer sides of pan. Grease and flour pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, stir together cocoa powder and 1/3 cup boiling water; whisk in milk until smooth.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour and cocoa mixtures, alternating each 3 times, scraping down sides of bowl.
Pour batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula, spread smoothly. Bake, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in pan for 1 hour; using foil as handles, remove cake from pan and turn out onto a tray to cool completely.
Color leaves: In a small bowl, combine sliced almonds and pumpkin seeds with 3 drops of red coloring. Gently mix with a spoon. Repeat with drops of yellow and brown coloring, as desired.
Decorate cake: Place 2 Tbsp. frosting in a ziplock bag. Cut a small hole in corner and pipe RIP onto cookies. Cover top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Adhere pretzel sticks along sides, about 1/4 inch apart, leaving 2 2-inch gaps for path. Create path with candy corn.
Cut 7 small slits on top of cake and insert gravestone cookies; scatter almonds and pumpkin seeds at each cookie, and at corners and edges of cake, to resemble fall leaves. Add candy pumpkins around cake, as desired.

Der Zentralfriedhof Wernigerode ist ein denkmalgeschützter Friedhof in Wernigerode in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Er umfasst eine Fläche von 16 Hektar und etwa 8.000 Gräber. Neben Wahlgrabanlagen besteht auch die Möglichkeit der anonymen Urnenbestattung in einer Urnengemeinschaftsanlage. Die Friedhofsanlage befindet sich an der Adresse Am Eichberg 7 im Wernigeroder Stadtteil Hasserode.

Gestaltung und Geschichte
Der Friedhof wurde im Jahr 1885 als Friedhof An der Molle angelegt. Später erfolgten Erweiterungen der Friedhofsanlage in südwestlicher Richtung zum Eichberg hin.

Der älteste Teil des Friedhofs ist durch eine Hauptallee und Querwege gegliedert. Neben vielen historischen und künstlerisch aufwendig gestalteten Gräbern befinden sich hier auch größere Reihengrab-Anlagen für Gefallene und Opfer des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkriegs. So wurden auf dem "Ehrenfriedhof vor der Weinenden Frau" 50 zwischen 1914 und 1918 Verstorbene beigesetzt, die überwiegend aus Lazaretten der Stadt gestammt haben dürften. Auf dem "Ehrenfriedhof Mauerseite" wurden 250 Personen beigesetzt, die zwischen 1941 und 1948 verstorben waren. Darunter befinden sich die Opfer eines Bombenangriffs auf Wernigerode vom 22. Februar 1944. Dazu kommen 60 Opfer (ausschließlich Männer) aus den Jahren 1941 bis 1948 auf dem "Ehrenfriedhof Soldateneiche". Auf den Stelen der Ehrenfriedhöfe sind nur die Namen der Verstorbenen angegeben, ohne Geburts- und Sterbedaten.

Teile des Friedhofs bestehen aus steil zur Himmelpforte bzw. zum Hasseröder Tal abfallenden Hängen. Die dort befindlichen Gräber sind terrassenartig angeordnet. Mittig befindet sich eine Trauerhalle sowie die Friedhofsverwaltung. Die Bauten sind schlicht, in moderner Formensprache gestaltet. Im November 2004 wurde die von Karl-Heinz Ziomek gestiftete Skulptur Übergang in der Trauerhalle aufgestellt.

Im örtlichen Denkmalverzeichnis ist der Friedhof seit dem 13. Februar 2015 unter der Erfassungsnummer 094 50657 als Baudenkmal verzeichnet.

Beisetzungen bekannter Persönlichkeiten
Der Landrat Erich von Stosch (1877–1946) und der Landtechniker Hans Holldack (1879–1950) wurden auf dem Zentralfriedhof beigesetzt.
Prof. Dr. Ambrose White Vernon (1870–1951) Pastor der Congregational Church, Professor für Biographie am Carlton College Minnesota und Dartmouth College N.H., Professor der Praktischen Theologie am Yale College. U.S.A

Q: How to specify localized forms of CJK scripts in Python's PIL ImageFont? CJK scripts (CJK Unified Ideographs) share the same Unicode code points, the distinction between simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and Kanji can only be handled by the font.
Some fonts support several localized forms (simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Kanji, etc.) at the same time. For example, Arial Unicode.ttf has 4 locl in the GSUB table: jpn, kor, zhs, zht, which handles different localized forms for CJK scripts. jpn is the default one, which corresponds to Kanji.
How can I choose the localized forms to use in Python? More specifically, I would like to control the localized forms when working with PIL package.
image_font = ImageFont.truetype(font="Arial Unicode.ttf", size=10) # PIL.ImageFont.FreeTypeFont object

Is this localized form specification even possible with PIL version 8.0.1?

A: Finally I found the solution. To specify the forms of CJK characters in Python's PIL, it is sufficient to specify the language parameter in the ImageDraw.text() (link), which requires libraqm package.
The following example shows the result:
languages = ["", "zh", "zh-Hans", "zh-CN", "zh-TW", "zh-HK"]
char_ = "骨"
font = ImageFont.truetype("Arial Unicode.ttf", size=32)
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3, figsize=(20, 8))
axes = axes.ravel()
for i, c in enumerate([char_] * len(languages)):
    img = Image.new("L", (64, 64), 255)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
    if i == 0:
        draw.text((0, 0), c, font=font)
    else:
        draw.text((0, 0), c, font=font, language=languages[i])
    axes[i].imshow(img)
    axes[i].set_title(languages[i] + " {}".format(ord(char_)))
plt.show()

We're fully embracing the warm summer weather and having fun with some summer crafting. It's lovely to see our garden bursting with colour and we decided to pick some flowers and try painting with them. The children were excited about painting with something other than a sponge or paint brush.
We headed out into the garden and looked for flowers we could pick. We found daisies and dandelions and other things I don't know the name of. We picked them with enough stalk to hold on to, like a paint brush. Then we poured paint into the paint tray.
My 4 year old enjoyed using the flower heads as a paint brush.
We talked about the different flowers and if they made a suitable paint brush. He made patterns on the paper and I just left him to be as creative as he wanted to be.
He built up layers using the different flowers until they began to disintegrate, and explored mixing colours.
This is a lovely simple craft, we've tried it with leaves too but it was pretty messy and not nearly so satisfying.
Such a fun idea. I've printed with potatoes and leaves before, but painting with flowers is such a fab idea. Amy would love this.
Thanks for linking up with Monday Parenting Pin It Party!
What a fun idea. I saw a t shirt printed with celery the other day, end stalks were all cut off so it was just the base where they all join, it made a flower print. I think I pinned it somewhere, but it was very cool. Honestly what will you creative people think of next!
That's a lovely way to paint and explore. We did something similar with daisies earlier in the year, the children loved it.
what a wonderful activity for little ones!

Gaming Interactive and Mobile Media (GIMM)
Bronco Day 2019, photo Patrick Sweeney
Boise State's gaming interactive and mobile media (GIMM) program recently hosted Boise Mayor David Bieter and other city officials on campus for a look at innovative virtual-reality projects that the program is developing to help people in the Treasure Valley.
KTVB reported on the visit.
Anthony Ellertson, GIMM director, showcased several projects, including those intended to help people who have autism spectrum disorders and sensory sensitivities, as well as those for language learning, occupational therapy and more.
KTVB quoted Ellertson, "Boise State and GIMM exist to serve this community and so we're making projects which we know have a definite need inside of the community. But it's also a win because the students get to create things that are high tech, that are cutting edge in terms of the field and that go into their portfolios, and so ultimately it helps them get a job."
This year, GIMM's work to find high-tech solutions for social issues got a boost when it joined forces with the Old Coot and Maggie Foundation, a Boise nonprofit. The foundation has committed $250,000 per year on an ongoing basis to the program.

Our Version Of A Very Sweet 16
Kevin Williams Published: March 20, 2018
Contributing Authors: Bob BaddersMatt ManleyGregg LernerEd SarlucaMatt HarmonBradley James
We are down to 16 athletes, coaches and contributors in the Shore Sports Network's search for the greatest sports personality/figure from the shore area over the last 50 years. The group includes eleven athletes, four coaches and one very successful sportscaster. The online voting campaign is powered by Sonny's Recycling Scrap Center of Waretown.
There were some very closes contests in reducing the field from 32 to 16 including Frankie Edgar's win over Damion Hahn in a matchup of wrestler turned UFC fighter (Edgar) against what some consider the greatest pure wrestler to come out of the shore (Hahn). In another tight battle soon-to-be pro football player Mike Gesicki edged former Shore Regional record-setting field hockey coach Nancy Williams.
Among those who have attracted significant voter support in the first two rounds are Todd Frazier, Al Leiter, Jim Dowd, Christie Pearce Rampone, Ken Frank and Warren Wolf. In what might be considered a bit of a surprise football great Phil Villapiano has picked up national support from "Raider Nation" and in this round will take on CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz in what should be a great matchup.
The next round of voting is now underway and will continue through Monday. The winner will receive a special award from Ocean Trophies of Lanoka Harbor.
Thanks to Sonny's Recycling of Waretown for sponsoring this program and Ocean Trophies of Lanoka Harbor for providing a unique award for the winner.
