Q: How to write a function that updates materialized views with dependencies on each other I want to write a query that will update all materialized views in the database. The materialized views have dependencies on each other so they have to be materialized in a certain order.
Is there a way to come up with a query that will do this in a hands off way? Meaning I don't have to maintain some data structure that records the dependencies. Just every-time I add a new materialized view it will be updated in the right order. This could be an internal sql routine or an external app that calls the query periodically.
I was thinking of using row creation time of pg_matview but postgresql doesn't record this anywhere.

Q: Rails 4.1.0/Paperclip/nginx send_file not working with large PDFs I have a Rails 4.1.0 app running with nginx, hosted on Engineyard. I'm having some puzzling issues with the send_file method (also tried send_data) with pdf files.
The setup:
In my controller:
send_file path, type: asset_content_type, disposition: 'inline', filename: filename

I have confirmed with logger that all the variables in the above line are correct. I uncommented this line in the config for the environment in question:
config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect' # for nginx

Here's the paperclip setup on the model:
class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :attachable, polymorphic: true

  has_attached_file :asset,
    styles: lambda { |i| i.instance.attachable_styles },
    path:   ':rails_root/private/system/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename',
    url:    '/files/:id/disposition/:style/:hash.:extension',
    preserve_files: true

  validates_attachment_content_type :asset, :content_type => /.*/

The symptoms:

*

*No problems at all locally running POW or webrick.

*With the app running remotely, downloading any kind of image file of any size works normally.

*Downloading pdfs ~ 140KB or less works normally.

*Downloading pdfs larger than that, I get a fraction of the file. Say I have a 1MB pdf. I download it, and end up with a corrupted file that is around 140KB.

*I have confirmed that file on disk is fine. I can scp the same large pdf to my local machine, and the pdf is fine.

*The paperclip record in the db is normal.

Maybe it's an nginx config issue I'm overlooking?
EDIT: The pdf thing is a red herring. It appears all large files are only partially sent.

A: EY support gave me a hand. Here are the steps they followed to solve the issue:

*

*Noted the directories that nginx was referencing did not seem to match up with what was in /var/tmp/nginx/proxy.

*Removed all the temporary folders in /var/log/nginx/proxy, and restarted nginx.

Now it works.


I am so excited to share this hibiscus sparkler with you today!! As we get closer to summer, refreshing fruity drinks are in high demand and this hibiscus drink hits all the notes for that. Sweet, delicious, refreshing and vibrant. It's just what we all need for the upcoming relaxing season.
I recently bought hibiscus flowers at our local African food store and I've been dying to use it in a recipe for you. I grew up on hibiscus, with beautiful hibiscus flowers in our yard in Sierra Leone. It reminds me of the tropical weather and buzzes of bees flocking to the pollen.
When I ran into the dried flowers at the store, I immediately knew I had to make our traditional 'sorrel' juice we make at home. Luckily my mom was here visiting and she whipped it up for me. There's nothing like your childhood favorite food or drink made by your mom in your thirties. It's just as I remembered with the cold sweet ginger hibiscus juice bursting with hints of lime. Delicious and refreshing. And that is the recipe I have here for you!
My childhood favorite drink made by my mother just for you. I added in sparkling water to her hibiscus juice since it is more refreshing and perfect for summer. I needed to share this hibiscus sparkler first before experimenting further with the dried hibiscus flowers in baking recipes. Keep an eye out!
By the way, this sparkler is going to be your go-to for brunch (hint hint Mother's Day!) and summer parties. I hope you enjoy this childhood favorite. If you do make it, please let me know as I'd love to hear what you think.
A refreshing sweet hibiscus drink with hints of ginger and lime for a hot summer day.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add in the hibiscus flowers and sliced ginger. Let steep for 20 minutes before straining out the flowers and ginger. Transfer mixture to a large pitcher and chill until cool.
When ready to serve stir together the hibiscus liquid, lime juice, mint leaves (if using) and alcohol (if using). Bring up the mixture with sparkling water until your desired sweetness is reached. Chill until ready to serve.
Serve over ice-filled rocks glasses garnished with mint leaves and lime wedges.
This is one gorgeous drink! I just love the color hibiscus gives things. Every time I visit my mom she makes my childhood favorites too :). I think they taste even better now!
Tequila === NOT optional! And that's my professional opinion. But, seriously, someone had better make this for me on mother's day morning. Ahem.
This sounds so refreshing Zainab! I need to keep my eyes open for those hibiscus flowers!
I have a big bag of dried hibiscus that I bought on Amazon a while back. I'll be making this drink for sure and am looking forward to your other hibiscus recipes!
Use it Sherry!! You will love it!

Gun control for retired police convicted of DUI draws Todd protest
By Erik Schelzig, Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — State Rep. Curry Todd, a retired Memphis police officer who has pleaded guilty to drunken driving and gun charges, is speaking out against Gov. Bill Haslam's proposal to keep retired law enforcement officers with DUI convictions from being able to carry firearms in public.
Todd was arrested in Nashville in 2011 after he failed a roadside sobriety test and police found a loaded .38-caliber gun stuffed next to the driver's seat. The Collierville Republican later pleaded guilty, but has easily been re-elected to the Legislature ever since.
The Haslam administration bill carried by Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, would give the Tennessee Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission the authority to ban retired officers from obtaining handgun carry permits if they were convicted of drunken driving once in the previous five years or twice within the past decade. It would only apply to new applicants.
The bill was up for a House floor vote on Monday evening after passing the Senate unanimously last month. But the vote was delayed after Todd questioned the need for the bill.
"I have no problem with removing someone's firearm if they've been convicted of a DUI," said Todd, whose state-issued carry permit was suspended after his 2013 guilty plea. But Todd said that he doesn't support giving the POST Commission the added authority over retired officers.
"This is not needed; this is redundant," said Todd. "They're actually going into areas they shouldn't be going in, and I think they're trying to get a little kingdom out there."
Todd served on the POST commission in the 1980s and was again appointed to the panel by House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, last year. But Todd said he resigned over scheduling conflicts.
Todd said any state law on the matter would be superseded by the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, which gives off-duty and retired officers the ability to carry their concealed firearms nationwide. Todd told his colleagues that he expects to obtain his certification under the federal law next year.
Rep. William Lamberth, R-Portland, said disagreements about the bill amount to a "turf war" over jurisdiction, and argued that the measure is aimed at keeping former officers with multiple drunken driving convictions from getting "special treatment."
"If anybody were to get multiple DUIs after retirement, surely all of us would agree that they should have to have special evaluations and have to go through the same type of evaluations and standards and review that any other citizen would," he said.
A vote on the bill was rescheduled for April 18.

Called the surgery and got an appointment for the same day and was seen on time. Dr Lodhi was extremely helpful!
Been with this surgery 30 yrs plus. Cannot thank them enough for the care of my health. Their prompt action has saved my sight, & they have helped me in so many ways to avoid serious physical and psychological problems. Cannot understand the low reviews - I've been in the surgery & in recent years heard people come in from the street & rudely demand appointments! I know that all GP surgeries are under extreme pressure to cope with so many new arrivals and the govt funding cuts, so try & be understanding to the staff as much as possible. I know, because my oldest friend is a GP receptionist (in another London surgery) and I hear how she gets spoken to. This is the best surgery for miles, and if you are seriously ill you will be seen asap if you follow their rules.
I took my mom for her appointment. It took her 5 weeks to get an appointment to see a doctor, complete disregards for patients urgency. The surgery itself is very dated and definitely needs a renovation. It's also not wheelchair friendly as there steps to climb inside, which I don't find usual for an NHS surgery. I would have given it 0 stars if it was'nt for the excellent service provided by Dr Asubiaro. He was really understanding and he listens to your problems thoroughly before advising on the best course of action.


Finally, you add Grimas Blood or Filmblood, depending on the desired effect.
Grimas Blood has a light and syrupy texture and a deep red colour. Apply directly from the tube or with a brush.
Filmblood is available in two colours: light, oxygenated blood (A) and dark, deoxygenated blood (B). You can apply it directly from the bottle.
Use a Stubble Sponge or a tissue to disperse the blood around the 'wound', if desired.
If a slight film forms on the skin, cleanse it afterwards with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.

AQUISITION CRITERIA
Stratford Ranch, Perris, CA
6,000 & 7,200 SF Min Lots & Industrial Distribution Site
Centex Homes, Richmond American Homes, Pulte Homes & IDI Logistics
Stratford Ranch is a 400 + acre mixed-use development located near Lake Perris and adjacent to a state fairground and park. The Ranch was purchased in 2003 by a joint venture managed by the Mission Pacific principals. Despite significant developmental constraints, including the need to acquire more than three dozen small "window parcels" within Stratford Ranch, Mission Pacific principals were able to entitle and sell nearly 100 acres of property to two separate homebuilders, eliminating all debt on the balance of the property and returning the original investment capital to its partners.
Mission Pacific principals continue to solve the complex and multi-jurisdictional developmental issues facing the remaining 300+ acre balance of the 300+acre Stratford Ranch, which is being entitled for commercial, residential and industrial uses. The development issues include the widening and realignment of a major regional storm drain, the creation of two major detention basins, and the design and widening of the state's Lake Perris emergency run-off channel.

Jail for Kirkby man who went on crime spree and stole war medals
Drink drivers caught on same Mansfield Street on same day get exactly the same ban
Two drink drivers who were caught on the same street in Mansfield on the same day, were both banned for exactly the same length of time, a court has heard.
Mansfield Magistrates Court.
Artur Tkaczyk, 37, of Chaucer Street, Mansfield, admitted driving while he was over the limit on Arundel Drive on July 27.
Earlier in the same court room, Rafal Mazurek, 31, of Byron Street, Mansfield, admitted the same offence on the same day at the same place. He also admitted possessing a small quantity of amphetamine.
Both men appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning, without representation, and spoke via the same Polish interpreter.
Breath tests revealed that Mazurek had 43 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, while Tkaczyk had 46 microgrammes. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
When interviewed, Mazurek said his family had been away for the night and he had 'seen the opportunity to have some fun', said Ruth Snodin, prosecuting.
Magistrates banned him for 13 months and fined him £255, with a £30 victim surcharge and court costs of £85.
Tkaczyk told magistrates a neighbour had asked him to move his car and said he hadn't been thinking.
He was also banned for 13 months and given a £310 fine, with a £31 victim surcharge and court costs of £85.


The earth at night, as photographed by NASA. You've got to see this!
Discussion in 'Archived Threads 2001-2004' started by KeithH, Sep 7, 2001.
I saw that before, it really puts things into perspective. I really wish more pictures were taken like that, but who knows how much money was involved for that to be taken? I can only dream how the earth looks in space compared to the other planets. Or I can pick up an IMAX DVD.
The NASA channel is one of the best during flights.
It has live feeds of pic and daily activitys.
When on the big screen it makes for a great event.
I've had that image as my desktop background at home and at work since it was posted on the APOD. It is effing amazing.
Same as Kolya; I've had that as my desktop (albeit a bit altered for best effect) for quite some time. I saw the image and knew it had to be my wallpaper.
Thanks for the link. Great photo.
No problem. Glad to do it.
I downloaded a copy of the picture and have it on my desktop too. It's too bad NASA is not selling posters of it. They would sell many of them. I know I'd get it framed and hang it up in the den.
Wow, 'great wallpaper' was the first thing that popped into my mind!!!
A poster would be mint. It reminds me when I was 15 and saw on the TV that guy standing in front of the 4 tanks at Tiananmen square and I said to myself If I ever see a poster of that I'll be buying it. A few years later at the largest shopping mall in the world I saw it and it has since been the centerpiece picture of the room.
spaceshots.com has some good earth/space posters. They have one similar to the topic picture, but with some extra crap at the bottom. I saw it, and bought some others, at Pier 39, in San Fancisco.
Probably everybody has a waterfront estate, hehe.
The thing that surprised me, and this is in no way intended to be derogatory, is how lit up India is. I would never expected that. I am not in any way saying that I thought of India as uncivilized, but I would not have expected the concentration of light there that the picture shows.
1. Breathtaking- imagine zipping by all the other planets, and then passing this one! As an interstellar traveler, you'd have to stop.
2. Saddening- it's a reminder of the over-use of natural resources, and the main reason I can't see many stars at night.
You should see the night sky from the top of a submarine in the middle of the ocean on a clear night during the new moon. Truly breathtaking!
The only thing I would have liked was that they would be closer to the equator.

Power shortage worries increase hunger for coal
August 12, 2022 | 20:00
Vietnam is maximising its coal mining output amid widespread power outages in the north.
Cao Son Coal, the company with the largest mining output in Vietnam, on July 19 announced to improve and expand the capacity of the Cao Son coal mine in Cam Pha in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh, to meet high production requirements.
Coal mining companies are increasing output to deal with power generation shortages, Le Toan
The mine has total reserves of almost 52 million tonnes, with a designed capacity of about 4.5 million tonnes per year. By upgrading the reserves, Cao Son's coal mine is expected to complete a record high mining output of 6.78 million tonnes in 2022.
Phan Quoc Viet, director of Cao Son Coal, said, "We have mobilised equipment to maximise the exploitation of raw coal at the Cao Son mine. In 2021, we achieved a mining output of over 6.4 million tonnes."
Many miners feel that Cao Son Coal's plan to increase output faces many challenges, especially considering the increasingly difficult and complex open-pit mining conditions. Similar to other open-pit mines in Vietnam, the Cao Son mine is exploiting deeper and farther, with an increasing level of risk.
The miners believe that high input costs will prevent Cao Son Coal from reaching a record in mining output. Currently, the coefficient of rock removal and transportation speed at open-pit mines has tripled compared to 1995, from 3.4 to 11 cu.m per tonne, while the transport level has increased four times, from 1km to over 4km, according to state-run Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin).
The group asked coal mining companies to increase outputs to deal with a shortage of coal for power generation, a risk that threatens to disrupt industrial supply chains and hinder international economic growth. The total volume of coal for power production in 2022 is expected to be about 43.99 million tonnes, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
Dang Thanh Hai, general director of Vinacomin in July said that the domestic demand for coal is at a very high level, especially coal for power production in the peak months of the hot season. "We have directed coal production units to mine an additional 1.4 million tonnes of coal," Hai said.
Nguyen Tien Chinh, former head of Science, Technology, and Development Strategy under Vinacomin, commented that the current situation of coal production and consumption reflects the results of the investment process in the past.
"Along with geological mining and production conditions, and market factors, the mechanisms and management policies for coal production are still inadequate," Chinh said.
Vietnam is maintaining a high royalty policy for coal production. Total royalties and fees account for 16 per cent of coal production cost. In which, the natural resource consumption tax is 12-14 per cent of the taxable price and the cost of granting coal mining rights is 2 per cent.
With this, the average cost is about $9.20 per tonne. In addition, the environmental protection tax applied to coal is $1.30 per tonne, which is included in the coal price.
"Many countries are maintaining lower tax rates in the coal industry. Australia's royalties are between 7 and 10 per cent. Meanwhile, China charges 2-8 per cent per tonne, Indonesia about 3-7 per cent, and South Africa 0.5-7 per cent," Chinh said.
Vietnam has transformed itself from being a coal exporter to a net coal importer. The MoIT data showed that the coal exports of 24 million tonnes in 2009 decreased to 12 million tonnes in 2013, and to only 1.9 million tonnes last year.
Meanwhile, coal imports increased rapidly from 2.3 million tonnes in 2013 to 14.7 million tonnes in 2017 and 36 million tonnes in 2021. The MoIT even forecasted that coal imports will increase to about 46.5 million tonnes by 2025 and 123.7 million tonnes by 2045.
Many miners find it impossible to increase production by around 10-15 million tonnes for Vietnam's thermal power plants in a short period of time.
Meanwhile, Vietnam's future coal demand continues its upward trend. It is expected that the domestic coal demand will reach about 92-99 million tonnes in 2025 and about 171-182 million tonnes in 2045, according to the draft strategy for the development of Vietnam's coal industry towards 2030 complied by the MoIT.
Le Minh Chuan, chairman of the Members' Council of Vinacomin, called on the National Assembly deputies to apply innovative thinking when considering the national energy security strategy for 2030 and 2045.
"Vietnam's coal resources are now located mainly in Quang Ninh province. The companies have mined as deep as 500m under sea level, creating huge pressure. It is very difficult to increase productivity amid complicated production, increasing costs, and declining human resources," said Chuan.
Coal conundrum ahead forces Vietnam to rethink priorities
While the pressure on the environment and issues like climate change are increasing, it remains difficult for Vietnamese companies and the government to turn away from fossil fuels completely. However, experts warn that while a strong reliance on them will only increase related problems, using state-of-the art technology would count most.
Coal shortages require Vietnam to diversify supply sources
Vietnam is now in need of diversifying energy supply sources as it is facing a shortage of coal supply for electricity, cement, and fertiliser production due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia - Ukraine conflict.
Coal power balance back on the agenda
Following global tensions and heatwaves in its metropolises, Vietnam is becoming more ravenous for energy by the day, demanding not just sufficient but also sustainable solutions against the backdrop of its zero emissions targets.
Vietnam spends $5 billion on coal imports
In the first seven months of this year, Vietnam spent over $5 billion to import coal for thermal power plants, up 123 per cent on-year.

Regional cerebral metabolic rate for glucose was determined for six different areas of the gray matter in an 8-year-old girl with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. In all regions, the rates were almost half of the control values. The regional cerebral metabolic rate for glucose was relatively preserved in the striatal region and severely reduced in the frontal cortex. (J Child Neurol 1990;5:98-100).

Q: Can I redirect non-SSL traffic that comes in on an SSL port with Nginx I have a fairly standard setup with nginx fronting a django app. I want the django app to be SSL only, and so I have two listen blocks in my nginx conf, with the traffic coming in on port 80 (HTTP) being redirected to port 443 (SSL). This is working as expected.
I am running this setup inside a VM that has port forwarding turned on, such that I can browser the site from the host machine by going to port 8080 (HTTP) or 8081 (SSL). Again, this work fine, as expected.
The problem comes when I am redirected internally from the Django app during a registration workflow. Because Django never sees the SSL status (SSL is terminated at nginx, and traffic to the app is forwarded on port 5000 over HTTP), but does see the port, the redirect is getting mangled**.
The net result of all of this is that I have traffic being directed into nginx on the SSL port, that is not SSL, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:443/. Is there any way to configure nginx to handle this?
** NB I am setting the X-Forwarded-Proto header in Nginx, and Django is picking up the correct .is_secure() value, this is a specific problem with an external library not checking is_secure and just redirecting on the incoming URL scheme.
[UPDATE 1]
Attached are the relevant config settings. This is from the Vagrantfile itself, showing the port forwarding:
config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080     # website, via nginx (redirects to SSL:8081)
config.vm.forward_port 443, 8081    # website, via nginx (accepts SSL)
config.vm.forward_port 5000, 8180   # website, via gunicorn (direct)

Using the above port forwarding configuration, if I browse to the site on the host machine on the HTTP port (8080), then the request is accepted, and nginx (see below) redirects this request to HTTPS  (running on port 8081). Once I am on HTTPS the site itself works fine:
(host) http://127.0.0.1:8080  -> forwarded to -> (guest vm) http://127.0.0.1:80
(host) https://127.0.0.1:8081 -> forwarded to -> (guest vm) https://127.0.0.1:443

The problem occurs when I get a redirect internally from Django which mixed scheme & protocol, and ends up with a request to http:\\127.0.0.1:8081\..., which fails, as nginx is expecting traffic on 8081 to be SSL.
What I really want is a rule that says 'listen on 443 for both SSL and non-SSL and redirect non-SSL'.
This is the relevant nginx configuration:
# Django app is served by Gunicorn, running under port 5000 (via Foreman)
upstream gunicorn {
    server 127.0.0.1:5000 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    # 8081 is the port I am forwarding to on the host machine
    rewrite ^ https://127.0.0.1:8081$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
    listen 443;

    ssl on;
    ssl_protocols       SSLv3 TLSv1;
    ssl_ciphers         HIGH:!ADH:!MD5;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/self-signed.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/self-signed.key;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

    location /static/ {
        alias /app/static/;
    }
    location /media/ {
        alias /app/media/;
    }
    location / {
        # everything else is to be served by the django app (upstream 'gunicorn')
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        # this is set to ensure that django is_secure returns True
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_pass http://gunicorn;
    }
}

A: You should check out "Error Processing" section of this document:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html
Non-standard error code 497 may be used to process plain HTTP request which has been sent to HTTPS port.
Something like this should work (untested):
error_page 497 https://$host$request_uri;

Named locations may also be used in error_page, see http://nginx.org/r/error_page for details.


100% Human 22" Stick-Tip Hair Extensions.
One of the ways to apply stick tip hair is by using micro rings in conjunction with smooth jaw pliers. You can also use shrinkies together with a heat a connector to apply the stick tipped hair. The quality of these extensions is Chinese Remy, making them the one of the best available in today's market. Being 100% human hair cuticle correct, they won't tangle because all the hair strands are parallel to each other and they are also aligned in the same direction. On longevity, you can use the extensions for between two and three months, though this will be determined by the kind of aftercare they are given. Finally, you can accord them normal treatments such as washing, curling and straightening, just as you can do to your natural hair.
The number of strands needed for a full head will depend on the thickness as well as the volume that the user desires. With that said, a full head may need about 100 – 125 strands while half head may need approximately 50 – 75 strands.


A couple of weeks ago I dragged my husband to the Los Angeles Arts District because it was my birthday and that's what I wanted to do! For those of you who are not familiar with the different areas of Los Angeles, the Arts District was once home to numerous factories and industrial spaces, most of which were abandoned in the 1960s. With so many empty warehouses and commercial spaces, a burgeoning arts scene began to take hold in the area in the 60s and 70s, although the area also had a sort of a seedy underbelly. Now it's a growing mecca of street art (lots of cool walls!), galleries, food, shopping, and bars. Essentially it's now a hipster heaven. Below you will see a pictorial stroll through this somewhat gritty, but nevertheless alluring area of Los Angeles.
The first place we visited on our trek to the arts district was the Hauser Wirth & Schimmel art gallery. The building was actually a sprawling flour mill decades ago. Now its most distinguished feature is a sprawling mural by artist Kim West. I love the style of her work because of the colors and the strange creatures, such as the bear below, that inhabit her work and make for a very distinctive style.
Below you will see the main entrance of the Hauser Wirth & Schimmel gallery. I think I would definitely describe the building as business in the front, party in the back!
If you were wondering what type of art the gallery showcases, I am including a little of that as well. I would describe it as an "eclectic" mix of contemporary art from some very established artists to up and comers in the art world. I am not sure I quite understood everything on display (especially the weird cat thing below!) but it was colorful and fun to observe.
After looking at some art and racking one's brain to extract some sort of meaning from the crazy cat installation, one works up an appetite! We decided to eat at Wurstkuche, an "innovative sausage" joint specializing in rare and exotic sausages like rabbit and rattlesnake or pheasant with herbs. The ambience of this place will make you think you are in a hip and trendy German biergarten, and just like a German biergarten, the beer on tap is delicious and the sausages are pretty tasty as well! Although Wurstkuche will set you back more than you might expect for sausages and beer in a very casual setting (we spent spent about $60 for four sausages, one order of fries and two average-sized beers), it's worth it for the quality of the food and beer and to experience something a little different and out of the box. It's definitely not your average hot dog joint!
Last, but not least, are the walls of Los Angeles' Arts District. Everywhere you look, there's eye candy! To be honest, the street art does range from the beautiful, such as this second Kim West mural below, to what amounts to graffiti, such as the ATM machine covered with stickers below. Regardless, there's something for everyone...well, maybe not my husband, although he did really like the beer and sausages!
OMG, you were in heaven here with all those gorgeous art walls. Love them all. The creepy thing is the cats though - I don't get them. The exotic sausage joints sounds great but man so pricey. When I visit LA one day, I will make sure to visit this beautiful art district. Thanks for sharing, Katie.

Sak Yant Tattoos:
Sak Yant tattoos are well known to tattoo lovers as a mainly Thai Buddhist form of tattooing. "Sak" means "to tap" or "to tattoo", and "yant" comes from the Sanskrit word "yantra" which has many meanings. Usually referring to a "machine", "instrument" or "apparatus".

Most people who have heard of Sak Yant tattoos are familiar with them because of their tie to Thai culture, but this specific form of tattoo actually comes from the Khmer people of Cambodia.

Sak Yant tattoos are very closely tied to religion and spirituality, mainly Buddhism. Most Sak Yant tattoos are performed by Buddhist monks at a temple where they can bless the tattoo properly. But the Sak Yant designs are becoming so popular that tattoo artists are doing them, just without the blessing or spiritual connectedness that accompanies the tattoo when done by a monk.

Much of the script featured in Sak Yant designs come from Buddhism and are meant to be a chant or a mantra. This is why it's important to research what kind of Sak Yant you would like, as they all carry different meanings.

While Sak Yant pieces can be for anyone to wear, it's important to understand the religious and cultural significance of the piece, and make sure you are getting the tattoo in a respectful way, including the placement of the piece. Since Sak Yant's are largely Buddhist, it can be seen as highly disrespectful to tattoo the design anywhere below your waist, particularly if it includes a design featuring Buddha.

Tattoo History 17: Shanghai Kate
Kate Hellenbrand AKA "Shanghai Kate" AKA "America's Tattoo Godmother" got started as one of America's most well known female tattooers in the early 1970's, and still tattoos now (though she is semi retired). She works out of Holy Work Tattoo in Austin, Texas, and works tattoo conventions with her husband.

Kate has worked alongside some of the greatest American tattoo icons of the 1900's including Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, Jack Rudy, and Ed hardy, and was also good friends with the late Lyle Tuttle.

Kate has a background in art and became interested in tattooing when she lived in New York with her partner Michael Malone at a time when tattooing was actually illegal in the city. The two worked out of an apartment and would hand out business cards to anyone they came across who had a visible tattoo. Tattooing was difficult at the time, and they even had to make machines using parts bought at bike shops, or pretend to be nursing students to acquire medical equipment.

In 1972 Kate was invited to be one of the seven tattooers at what was the first international tattoo convention in Hawaii that was hosted by Sailor Jerry. This group was called "The Council of the Seven." This lasted around one week, but when the other tattooers left, Kate stayed behind to work with Jerry for a number of weeks. Sailor Jerry was notoriously protective of tattoo culture and disliked most newcomers to the industry particularly women, but Kate seemed to be an exception and was welcomed wholeheartedly and taught a lot.

As well as still occasionally tattooing, Kate also sells tattoo memorabilia including old flash from the greats, tattoo books, and also gives talks at tattoo conventions around the US.

Tattoo History 16: "Dainty Dotty" and Owen Jensen
Owen Jensen and "Dainty Dotty" were artists who married sometime in the mid 1900's. Owen was a tattoo artist with a number of cities and shops under his belt, and Dotty was initially a circus performer working as a "fat lady" before she started tattooing.

According to a letter written in 1972 to Steve Rogers, Owen Jensen was introduced to tattoos in 1911 in Utah after walking some 12 miles to see the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, which featured James Malcolm as a performer, who had been tattooed by Charlie Wagner. A few years later Owen got his first tattoo from Bob Hodge.

It's unknown who taught Owen to tattoo, but during WW1 he served overseas and tattooed other military folks while abroad. When he returned to the US he never stayed in one place too long, working in cities such as Michigan, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, Norfolk, and finally Long Beach, just to name a few. He eventually met Dotty and the two married and settled in Long Beach, working near Bert Grimm. Around the early 1970's Owen had a disagreement over flash with Bert who then apparently "ran him off." Owen then worked with Lee Roy Minugh until he was stabbed in the back and beaten on July 5th 1976. Owen never fully recovered from the attack and died July 24th 1977.

Dainty Dotty was initially a circus performer as mentioned above. She first worked as a "fat lady" in the Ringling Brothers circus in the 1930's and 40's. Dotty learned how to tattoo after meeting Owen, and he supposedly tattooed her, but there are no known photos of Dotty with tattoos, though there are photos of her tattooing people, and her flash is still floating around!

Dotty is famous for being the world's largest female tattoo artist, though she is in fact not the largest woman on record. Both Dotty and Owen tattooed classic old school designs such as eagles, skulls, roses, snakes, and patriotic pieces such as the statue of Liberty, American flags, and military designs.

Tattoo History 15: Myanmar
Tattoos have long been an important part of Myanmar (Burmese) culture. Legend has it that tattoos were first introduced to what was then called Burma around 200 BCE by ethnic minorities that migrated to the area from southwest China.

Tattooing was/is a very important part of belonging to Myanmar, and everyone from the kings to commoners would get work done, and continue to do so even today. Early on tattoos were a way of showing off masculine strength as well as feminine beauty, on top of cultural identity and aesthetic appeal. Lots of tattooed people also believed (like many ancient cultures) that tattoos would serve as a protection from evil and that they (tattoos) could protect the wearer from harm. Being largely a Buddhist country (90% of the population is Buddhist), Buddhist tattoos have also been important in the area. Tattoos related to Buddhism would often be created at temples by monks, thus ensuring that the wearer would be protected from harm.

Early on in Myanmar's history it was mainly the Shan, A Ta'I ethnic group that were getting tattooed the most frequently. The Shan States still dominate Northeast Myanmar today. Men would mainly get their waists down towards their knees tattooed as a sign of virility. Early on it's believed that both men and women were tattooed frequently, but by the mid 1600's only women were mainly receiving facial tattoos, particularly women of the Chin State in Western Myanmar. The women of the M'uun tribe are easily recognizable with the looping "P" or "D" shaped tattoos on their faces, along with the "Y" on their foreheads. The M'kaan women have lines on both their foreheads and chins. There are six tribes in total in the area where facial tattoos were popular for women, though sadly in the 1960's this practice was outlawed and when these women pass away a piece of history will die with them.

Below are a few charts that show what kind of person was getting what kind of tattoo, and where on the body, with regards to military action.
Other common motifs for tattooing in Myanmar include cats of various sizes from house cats to tigers, dragons, geometric patterns, and figures from Myanmar's and Buddhism's history and culture.

Tattoo history 14: Percy Waters
Percy Waters was a well-known American tattoo artist from the early 1900's. Born in 1888, in Anniston, Alabama, he was (allegedly) first introduced to tattooing through the sideshows of traveling circuses that passed through his hometown. At the time he was learning the trade of molder, and tattooing locals became a hobby on the side.

He's known to many as a Michigan artist, and not from a small town in Alabama, due to the fact that in 1917 he tattooed someone he shouldn't have and got in trouble. He left Anniston and moved to Detroit, Michigan. He built up a successful tattoo business where he also sold supplies to other tattoo artists. In 1929 he even got a license for his tattoo machine design, which was an adjustable two-coil electromagnetic machine that hasn't changed too much in modern tattoo machines. It had also taken almost 55 years (from 1875) for the tattoo machine to be adjusted after Edison's machine. In 1939 he moved back to Anniston and ran what was most likely the biggest tattoo supply company in the world at the time until his death in 1952.

Percy was very modest and was known to call himself "just a good tattooer"; However, he was quite well known regardless of his humility, particularly in the sideshow world where he tattooed "tattoo attractions" such as; Bobby Smith, Red Van, Detroit Dutch, Shelley Kemp, Clyde Williams, and Mrs. Ted Hamilton among others.

His style stays true to early 20th century old school designs. With classics such as portraits of women, dragons, eagles, snakes, panthers, good luck symbols, ships, and more. His original designs are still redrawn often today, and many contemporary artists are heavily inspired by him in their own styles.

Some of the most well-known tattoos he did were Pharaohs' Horses as a back piece, an image of a woman riding an eagle, and whole-body suits made up of patriotic American pieces coupled with images such as butterflies, flowers, dragons, snakes, and ladies.

Fukushi Masaichi "the skin collector"
Fukushi Masaichi (1878-1956) was famous for his interesting and macabre collection of human skin, specifically tattooed human skin. Dr. Fukushi was a Japanese physician, pathologist, and professor of Nippon Medical School in Tokyo. He was studying moles and movement of pigmentation in human skin, which is how he became interested in tattoos; more specifically Japanese bodysuits. This interest led to him collecting tattooed human skin after people died (with their permission).
Dr. Fukushi worked for a long time at the Mitsui Memorial Hospital in Tokyo, which mainly helped the poorer and lower classes. At the time, these classes were largely the kind of people who were also getting tattooed in Japan such as gangsters, construction workers, and other day labourers.
The doctor had such a fascination and interest in tattoos that he even paid for some people to get full bodysuits, or to finish existing work on the condition that he could harvest their skin when they died.
This fascination also lead to him forming friendships with his tattooed patients, and helped form the Tattoo League of Japan. The League would meet in public bathhouses to show off their body art to each other and the doctor.
Don Ed hardy is one of the few lucky foreigners to have seen the collection in 1983 at the invitation of Dr. Katsunari Fukushi, Masaichi's son, who also continued the collection. At the time there were over 3,000 photographs of tattoos, over 100 tattooed human skins, and notes and records from Masaichi.

Tattoo History 13: Doc Forbes
Doc Forbes is one of the most famous early tattoo artists in Canadian history, having learned the craft from Frederick Baldwin, the first tattoo artist in Canada to use an electric tattoo machine, in the 1920's.

Doc Forbes trained under numerous brilliant artists including Pat Martynuik from San Francisco. Much of Doc's work can be found in Lyle Tuttle's collection, although unfortunately Doc suffered a stroke in the early 70's which led to severe depression, which in turn led to him destroying a lot of his work.

Doc Forbes tattooed in the classic old school American traditional style, and most notably worked near the navy base in Victoria, and then on Davies Street right in Vancouver from the 1960's through to the 1970's. He died in 1977 on Lyle Tuttle's birthday; October 10th. Though Doc was a pioneer of old school tattooing in Canada, he also performed medical tattoos on burn victims, and cosmetic tattooing on women's lips and eyebrows.

Doc tattooed everyone, but his main clientele was young men in the Navy who often got classic military and navy designs such as eagles, skulls, roses, ships, and lover's names.

A brilliant documentary about Doc can be seen here on CBC's website. Made in 1964, and entitled "The Diary of a Tattooist," the short documentary and interview features CBC host Harry Mannis visiting Doc in his shop in Victoria. Numerous people are tattooed in the short film including a mother of four, a man in his 80's, a close friend of Doc's, and two sailors. Throughout the documentary Doc talks about hygiene and safety in tattooing, how he makes his colours, the technicality of running the machine, who his clientele are, and much more.

Tattoo History 12: Hong Kong
Hong Kong, a fascinating city with an equally fascinating history and culture. Tattoos are becoming more and more popular as they enter into the mainstream, making it hard to walk around the downtown area without spotting a tattoo either on a tourist or a local. But for a long time tattoos were seen as something only for criminals, mainly the triads (the Chinese mafia that also operates in Hong Kong and Taiwan among other places).

While tattoos of course existed in the area long before the 1940's, the first official tattoo shop wasn't opened until 1946 by the famous James Ho (father of Jimmy Ho). James Ho was a Shanghainese marine engineer in the navy in 1940 and was sailing on a ship in the Indian Ocean when it was hit by a Japanese torpedo. James was lucky and survived by clinging to wreckage and was picked up by an American warship and brought to Calcutta where he first came in contact with tattoos; hand poked tattoos to be specific. James brought his new passion home to Shanghai where he made a machine from bike chains and other spare parts. He fled Shanghai towards the end of WW11 because of political conflict and went to Hong Kong, where he opened the first shop; Rose Tattoo Studio. James had seen mainly old school tattoos on sailors, so that's what he brought back both to Shanghai and Hong Kong, and why old school Hong Kong tattoos follow similar tropes of hearts, flags, pin-ups and more, all with thick bold lines and vibrant colours. The shop did very well, mainly working on those in the Navy during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Along with these American designs, tattooers in Asia were adding imagery such as dragons, koi, and tigers, among other culturally significant iconography.

To keep up with the high demand, James took on four apprentices; Ricky Lo, Pinky Yun, Benny Tsoi, and Swallow, and later eventually his own son, Jimmy. Jimmy started officially working for his father at the age of 14 after already tattooing clients after hours from around the age of 12. His mother didn't want him working there but he insisted, and when he showed his father James the earnings, he was finally gifted two tattoo machines of his own. Pinky eventually moved to the US in the 70's and became very popular after first working with Ricky at "Ricky and Pinky Tattoo", Benny has a shop still in Hong Kong run by an apprentice (his daughter also tattoos and runs her own shop), and Jimmy's shop is also still being run by an apprentice in Hong Kong.

When business declined for all tattooers in Hong Kong after the Korean and Vietnam wars, tattooers were working more and more with triads. Only a "大佬" or, "boss" could get tattooed then, and some of the main designs included dragons on the arms or back, or eagles on the chest. Now triads are tattooed less and less, similar to the yakuza in Japan. But when they do opt to get tattoos they are more likely to get them in mainland China where they are significantly cheaper.

Apart from gangsters, the most common people getting tattooed from the 70's-90's were construction workers and truck drivers. These developed their own kind of style which consisted of only an outline without any shading, often because they would run out of money. As long as you could tell what the design was supposed to be, it was good enough.

Hong Kong style is also compared to Japanese, particularly for full bodied work with backgrounds such as waves and clouds. This is largely due to Japanese tattooers visiting Hong Kong, and vice versa. For example, James' son, Jimmy Ho was visited numerous times by Horiyoshi in the 1990's. Jimmy then borrowed Japanese ideas of tattooing but made them his own.

Today, artists such as Marcus Yuen and Samantha Fung, both working out of 59 tattoo alongside other great artists, and Dave Ryo Lau working out of The Company Tattoo, are all keeping Hong Kong style tattoos alive by continuing to tattoo in the unique style. Marcus in particular works hard to keep Hong Kong style tattoos alive by also sharing information about the old legends, and many historic pictures on his Instagram account.

So, I don't think I've mentioned this on here before but we (husbondo and I) are about to build our own house. Not with our own bare hands of course, that would be mental, rather attempt to organise other people with actual proper skills to build our house. Yours truly is project managing. It's strange that I haven't talked about it before because if you were to meet me, it's pretty much the only thing I talk about besides flowers. Well, that and telly. Or more specifically, The Bridge. Obsessed. Anyway, life has become a glamorous mix of budgets, schedules, builders, architects drawings and for sanity... flowers of course.
I took part in my first editorial shoot recently. Two exquisite venues in central Bristol and some very talented women made for a fantastic day and some gorgeous images.
The Milk Thistle, my favourite cocktail bar in Bristol, is intriguingly hidden away behind an unassuming black door (only the hipsters know which one) and The Ox is Bristol's newest, most stylish spot for steak and champagne. Both are deliciously dark with moody lighting, dark walls, wood paneling and stuffed animals aplenty. If you find yourself in Bristol, check them out. Just bring some form of GPS.
More images and words by wedding coordinator and organiser for the shoot, Michelle Jetzer can be found here on the lovely Whimsical Wonderland Weddings blog.

Золотистоплечий тамарин () — вид игрунковых обезьян из рода тамаринов (Saguinus).

Классификация
Классификация этого вида дискуссионна. В ходе полевых исследований в Южной Америке учёные сравнивали особенности питания и поведения золотистоплечего и буроголового (Saguinus fuscicollis) тамаринов и пришли к выводу, что эти виды очень похожи. Эта схожесть и недостаток свидетельств симпатрии с буроголовым тамарином или черноспинным тамарином (Saguinus nigricollis) позволяют рассматривать золотистоплечего тамарина в качестве подвида буроголового тамарина. С другой стороны, некоторые подвиды буроголового тамарина могут рассматриваться в качестве отдельных видов.

Описание
Длина взрослого животного от 218 до 240 мм, длина хвоста от 316 до 341 мм. Уши длиной около 30 мм. Голова чёрная, мордочка белая, шея и грудь золотистые или кремовые, низ туловища оранжево-серый. Длинный хвост используется для цепляния за ветки, глаза смотрят вперёд. Клыки большие.

Распространение
Встречается к востоку от Анд в Эквадоре и на северо-востоке Перу.

Образ жизни
Дневное животное, проводящее большую часть жизни на деревьях. Передвигается на четырёх конечностях, хорошо прыгает. Ищет пропитание чаще всего на высоте от 4 до 10 метров над уровнем земли, в рационе в основном фрукты, нектар и насекомые. Также питается древесными соками.

Размножение
Образует небольшие группы, обычно от четырёх до девяти животных. В помёте обычно двое детёнышей, причём в сезон размножения только одна самка в группе приносит потомство.

Беременность длится около 140 дней. За потомством следят не только мать и отец, но и другие члены группы, включая самцов. Детёныш питается молоком матери до трёхмесячного возраста. Половая зрелость наступает в возрасте 12—21 месяца.

Статус популяции
В 2008 году Международный союз охраны природы присвоил этому виду охранный статус «близок к уязвимому» (), поскольку несмотря на большую популяцию, скорость депопуляции оценивается в 25 % за три поколения (18 лет). Главная угроза виду — уничтожение привычной среды обитания.

Should I use Unreal for forestry app?
I'm going to make a mobile forestry app that detects user's GPS coordinates, then pulls alternate data from a database, probably using MySQL. It would only have to ping for coordinates when the user clicks a button. There will be little to no cell phone reception where the app will be used. A friend of mine said I should consider using an event-based program instead of Unreal because using a game engine such as Unreal might drain the battery too fast. Since there won't be anything graphically intensive going on in the app while it's running, can I use Unreal for my app or would it likely drain too much battery? A few hours of usage time before battery dies should be sufficient. Thanks!
