In the most simple terms, the diet we recommend is comprised of a staple pellet diet (75%) and a variety of supplements (25%).
If you are interested in the benefits that come along with feeding insects, we have a variety of choices for you. Our dried insects are chemical free, farm-raised, and not gut-loaded with fillers. Along with pellet diets, insects are also a way to maintain good dental health, because they promote intensive chewing action and help keep the plaque buildup down. Not to mention you will soon find that your gliders will mostly likely go crazy for insects, especially mealworms! Mealworm Munchies contain natural, farm-raised mealworms that provide an excellent protein source for your gliders. Mealworms are frozen, then freeze dried to maintain their nutritional value, and store for a year without refrigeration. These, along with our other dried insect options, are a great choice for owners who aren't comfortable handling live or moist/canned insects. Make sure you are not feeding your gliders mealworms every day, or letting them fill up on them as a majority of the diet. Mealworms are high in fat and phosphorus. As you may know, feeding your gliders insects may throw off their calcium to phosphorus ratio. We recommend dusting any insects with Glider-Cal calcium supplement, so you can feel comfortable feeding your gliders this food that they love, without having to worry about calcium deficiency. If you want to feel even more secure about Ca:P ratios, try Calci-Worms as an all-natural, calcium rich insect choice. Calci-Worms (black soldier fly larvae) are considered the best new alternative for incorporating calcium and protein into an animal's diet. The variety of natural colors are eye-catching to all animals, and come from being naturally sun-dried to maintain their nutritional value. Black soldier flies are from Canada, and during their larval phase they feed off various kinds of organic material, converting this to proteins. This is why Calci-Worms have such a high nutritional value. Most sugar glider owners know the goal in a diet is to achieve a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2:1 (over 1), meaning more calcium than phosphorus in the diet. Unlike mealworms, crickets, superworms, etc. Calci-Worms have a ratio of 1.52 (view nutritional comparison chart here). These Calci-Worms have a calcium ppm of 8155, while mealworms have a calcium ppm of only 133!
Here at Exotic Nutrition we do our best to give you the largest selection of sugar glider foods out there, which match up with what gliders eat in the wild. In the wild, sugar gliders dig under tree bark in search of nectar, sap, and insects that are found within. We give you the opportunity to provide these types of foods to your sugar gliders using - gums, pollen, sugar beet, honeydew, sugar cane, and eucalyptus branches, powder, and leaves. One of our gum diets, Gumivore-Fare, delivers pure acacia gum (in jell form) combined with small chunks of mixed fruits and fresh fruit pulp. Gliders can't resist this food which is native to their homeland, and owners love it because acacia gum is a very important carbohydrate source. Made with all natural ingredients including acacia gum, pineapple, peach, mango, apple, and papaya.
We've covered protein, insects, and gums; now let's go into more depth about fruits and vegetables. Portion control is very important when serving fruits and vegetables. For less dense foods that have a higher water content, such as melon, you would offer a larger piece. For denser foods, like sweet potato, you would offer a slightly smaller piece. Fruits and vegetables shouldn't be canned or frozen, as those can often contain added sugars and other preservatives harmful to sugar gliders. It is also recommended that they are bought and kept fresh, rinsed well, chopped into bite sized pieces, and seeds removed. Fruits and vegetables are important to the diet of your gliders, but buying them fresh all of the time can get expensive, and you may find that there is a short period of time between ripeness and mold. Therefore, you may want to consider dried fruits and vegetables so you don't have to worry about fruit flies or food spoilage. This form of produce is completely safe and healthy for your sugar glider, and are packaged without preservatives or additives here at Exotic Nutrition.
These fruits and vegetables are packaged in an FDA-approved resealable bag for convenience and preservation of freshness. They are sweet and nutritious, and are already chopped into bite sized pieces for you to hand-feed to your gliders. The most popular fruit choices are Fruit Medley (mango, coconut, papaya, pineapple, and raisins) and Island Blend (tiny ⅛" dices of pineapple and papaya). While the most popular vegetable choice is Veggie Blend (sweet potatoes, carrots, green peas).
We also have variety package sets for you to find out your glider's favorites. When picking and choosing which foods to fill this 25% variety category with, be sure to do your research on the nutritional benefits of each options, and to know which are healthy diets, which are supplemental foods, and which are treats. This is when having our descriptive paragraphs and guaranteed analyses come in handy, versus estimating nutrition content at a grocery store. Healthy treats have several benefits for both gliders and owners. Treats can add behavioral enrichment, provide good exercise for teeth and jaws, and form a connection between you and your gliders. The treats most favored by sugar gliders and best for bonding are Yogurt Drops. Although it is made with nonfat yogurt, as you may guess this is one of the sweetest treats. If you are looking for the treats lowest in sugar and fat, some options are Diced Coconut, Veggie Blend, and Blueberries. Remember to limit treats, and watch for weight gain. Once again, feed what you think will be right for your sugar gliders.
One customer favorite are the HPW diets. More specifically, Instant-HPW, which includes the major ingredients from the original High Protein Wombaroo diet that is trusted and fed to sugar gliders worldwide. If you didn't know, the High Protein Wombaroo (HPW) diet plan = protein supplement + eggs + honey + bee pollen. We have made this homemade diet plan into an easier, mess-free, pre-made form using dehydrated ingredients. Instant-HPW is a vitamin-enriched, powdered sugar glider diet that mixes with water to form a soft, pudding-textured food. Sugar gliders love the delicious vanilla bean flavoring and natural ingredients including honey, eggs, bee pollen, ZooPro high protein supplement, flaxseed oil, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, calcium carbonate, potassium, magnesium, iron, and nine types of vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D3, E, K). Feeding this diet loved by sugar gliders has never been easier or quicker! Many owners feed this as their gliders' main diet, while some feed 75% Glider Complete with 25% Instant-HPW daily. One owner says - "We have used this for the last 4 years. Our suggies just love it. Super easy to make. We add in fruits and veggies and it's gone before playtime.". We also offer the ingredients for the homemade HPW Diet, and the premade version called HPW Jar (cooked in a jar).
Berries & Bugs is a nutritious insectivore diet containing insect larva, grains, and berries. This diet is formulated specifically for insectivorous mammals like sugar gliders, and can be fed along with a supplemental protein source and vegetables. Some ingredients include tomato pomace, blueberries, adult insects, insect larvae, rosemary, bee pollen, vitamin B-12 supplement, calcium pantothenate, vitamin A acetate, D-biotin supplement, and D-activated animal sterol (source of vitamin D3).
Insectivore-Fare is a high quality soft diet, designed to be fed free choice to a wide variety of insectivores, including sugar gliders. Made with calcium carbonate, vitamin E supplement, vitamin B-12 supplement, sources of vitamin D-3 & vitamin K.
Insect-Eater Diet is a fortified, balanced diet containing all natural ingredients for insectivores. New & improved to be even more moist, pressure cooked in an easy-to-feed jar. Contains mealworms, waxworms, fruits, and vegetables. Made with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, and no artificial preservatives. In their natural domain, insects are a primary source of protein for sugar gliders. Offer in an open dish, or it can be placed into hollow openings in branches to allow animals to forage. Other ingredients include whole eggs, beet pulp, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, honey, tallow, lecithin (source of phospholipids), fish oil (source of omega fatty acids), taurine (amino acid), yeast culture, vitamins and minerals.

Q: C++ OOP segmentation fault I have a task at the college. I'm making a chess board with chess pieces on it. I have a method step() to move them. But I need to print the result of the move. I get a segmentation fault after trying to print it. And are there any other methods to declare that chess board with symbols. It seems to me it is not properly declared. (Yes, chess pieces should be like "01""10". I will use that later to make rules for each piece type).

7| 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 00
8| 12 13 14 16 15 14 13 12

Why you should not perform char-int?
Well, I added a printf %d on that one, gave me this, which is quite self-explanatory.
.
printf ("\nThe result of bad operation : %d\n", fign - 1);
.

The result of bad operation : 54

Fromm Remembered at Harvard
May 8, 2013 April 10, 2013 by Brian Schuth
Paul Fromm (file photo)
In the 1920s, while still in his teens, Paul Fromm heard a performance of the Rite of Spring and concluded, "it made a 20th-century man of me." In 1952, having established himself financially, he formed the Fromm Foundation, which he -dedicated to the cultivation of new music through the support of composers. In 1972, the foundation moved from Fromm's home city of Chicago to Harvard University. This weekend, the Harvard Department of Music will celebrate the anniversary of the Fromm Foundation, still going strong after 60 years, with a pair of free concerts in Paine Hall on Friday and Saturday at 8:00 [details here]. These concerts arrive under the rubric "Fromm Players At Harvard: Celebrating 60 Years Of The Fromm Foundation (1952-2012)." Sound Icon, a Boston-based new music group which patterns itself on international groups such as the Ensemble Modern, Ensemble InterContemporain, and the London Sinfonietta, is taking the mantle of the "Fromm Players", the ensemble formed during a 1957 experiment at Tanglewood created by the Foundation. Music commissioned by and inspired by the Foundation and Mr. Fromm, spanning a period of over fifty years will be programmed. In addition, there is student-curated exhibit of documents, scores and pictures from the Fromm archives on display at the Edu Kuhn Loeb Music Library at Harvard.
Paul Fromm was deeply concerned about "the frustrating isolation of young composers and performers from each other" in this country; and even more generally, about the "lonesomeness" and "spiritual bankruptcy" that could result when a society lost sight of its cultural priorities. He took on the task to help create of a vibrant contemporary composing environment in this country. In Europe there was significant support from government, and Darmstadt and Donaueschingen were gathering places where artists could gather to learn from one another, but there was nothing comparable in the United States. The Foundation started unassumingly, commissioning composers privately and funding concerts and recordings; by the time it moved to Harvard, it was regularly commissioning 12 to 15 pieces a year. As the Foundation gained visibility, it expanded its activities: In 1957 Aaron Copland headed an experimental contemporary project that by 1964 grew into the Festival of Contemporary Music at Tanglewood. The Foundation held seminars at Princeton in 1960 that helped birth the periodical Perspectives of New Music in 1962, and in 1985 it created the Fromm Visiting Professorship at Harvard, first awarded to Peter Maxwell Davies, and last held by John Luther Adams.
The music that emerged from the first half of the Fromm's existence is largely modernist, and frequently complex. The Foundation was birthed at a time of great experimentation in music: in 1952, Pierre Boulez and John Cage were just beginning to realize their projects were divergent (4'33" would be premiered that August); Messaien's Turangalîla Symphony was only four years old. The earliest works on the two concerts are from the 1960s, and they represent crowning achievements of different kinds of modernist projects: Luciano Berio's Circles and Leon Kirchner's Concerto for violin, cello, 10 winds and percussion, both from 1960, and Elliott Carter's Double Concerto. Circles, written for Berio's wife (the redoubtable and sometimes terrifying Cathy Berberian), explores the nature of words as sound and the limits of meaning in setting three e.e. cummings poems. The Double Concerto famously pits two separate orchestra and soloist groups (one pianist and one harpsichordist) in independent yet interrelated tempi. Kirchner's Concerto is a very different beast; Sound Icon's Jeffrey Means describes the Carter as "a tower of complexity", while the Kirchner is a "transparent, fragile structure that must be handled lightly." One might also lump Bruno Maderna's Giardino Religioso from 1972 into this group, though its extensive use of free improvisation places it in a different continuum of musical control; at one point the conductor leaves the podium to lead the ensemble by performing a conga improvisation. The title of this piece was originally Fromm's Garden, but Maderna hid the tribute via translation, "religioso" being Italian for the German "fromm".
There was never any one particular compositional philosophy supported by the Fromm, no criteria other than quality and the idea of supporting a broad variety of styles and approaches. A remarkable photograph in the exhibit at the Loeb Library demonstrates this, showing a group of composers at a Fromm gathering, a delightfully varied bunch : Earle Brown, Matthias Kriesberg, Ingram Marshall, Ben Johnston, Bernard Rands, Jacob Druckman, Joan Tower, Morton Subotnik, Alvin Lucier, James Tenny and Luciano Berio. As modernism began to harden into serialist orthodoxy, Fromm's desire to keep his mission broad resulted in some uncomfortable conflicts. In 1972 he withdrew funding from Perspectives in New Music because he felt that it was becoming too narrow in focus. In 1983, he reduced his financial support for the Tanglewood Festival for similar reasons. The Foundation itself went through some restructuring, and in 1985, Steve Reich received a Foundation commission which resulted in the clarinet ensemble work New York Counterpoint, a composition worlds away from modernist complexity. Fromm felt it was especially important to support women composers, and the three most recent works presented this weekend are all by women: Barbara White's Third Rule of Thumb from 1999, Liza Lim's Shimmer Songs (2006), and a world premiere by Karola Obermuller, elusive corridors.
The Fromm Foundation has enriched the musical life of Boston through its regular concerts, but also through the cultivation of Boston composers. In addition to Kirchner's concerto, the Boston connections represented by Tre Invenzioni (1972) by Gunther Schuller, and Pre-pulse Suspended (1984) by Lee Hyla.
Among Fromm's hopes was that there might be a received canon of modern works that would enter the standard repertoire. One of the displays in the Loeb exhibit concerns a 1974 report on "music of the last 40 years not yet established in the repertoire." Composers were asked to list compositions they felt deserved more performances than they had so far received. John Adams', just two years before his 1976 conversion experience, advocated for pieces by Cage, Cardew, Stockhausen and Boulez. Fromm's hope cannot yet be said to be realized. Circles and the Double Concerto are now recognized as critical pieces in the development of 20th century music, but they are demanding enough and played rarely enough that this weekend's performances are a major event, not the presentation of "standard new music repertoire." But then again, – the 1974 Fromm survey notes that even the Rite of Spring, Paul Fromm's inspiration for a life of musical philanthropy, was still not "standard" in much of the country. That has certainly changed. And here in Boston, the plethora of new music ensembles owe some debt to the support, encouragement and hope promised by the very existence of the Fromm.
The concerts of the "Fromm Players At Harvard: Celebrating 60 Years Of The Fromm Foundation" will be presented at Paine Hall Friday and Saturday nights, April 12 and 13, at 8 p.m. at Paine Hall. Friday night's concert will feature works of Lim, Berio, Kirchner and Maderna; Saturday's will include pieces by Schuller, Hyla, Obermuller, White and Carter. The concerts are free and open to the public.
Related Compact Disc Review
Anyone drawn to Friday night's Fromm Foundation anniversary concert featuring the Concerto for violin, cello, 10 winds and percussion by Leon Kirchner may also be interested to know that "Revelations", a CD of works by Kirchner, has been released by Verdant World Records. "Verdant world" is presumably from the well-known quote of Kirchner's: "an artist must create a personal cosmos, a verdant world in continuity with tradition." Kirchner, who died in 2009, is noted for both his uncompromising musical vocabulary and for his passion and intensity. Pianist Jonathan Biss, in comments made at a 2010 appreciation of Kirchner, called him "powerful" and "authoritative", the music filled with "conflict" and "turmoil" and the messiness of contradiction and complexity. The works on this disc offer a view into Kirchner's own "cosmos", though the selections make it more of a sampler than a thorough overview.
The pieces were written over more than six decades, from 1943 to 2006. They emphasize vocal and choral works, many of which have not been previously recorded. When writing for singers, the young Kirchner was drawn to challenging poetry, with mixed results. "Dawn" (1943-1946), for choir and piano, sets a rather lurid poem of Federico Garcia Lorca's ("Sometimes, the coins in furious angry swarms/Sting, pierce, devour abandoned children") to music that seems almost reticent, almost decorative, in comparison. "Three Songs" (1943-1946) for soprano and piano sets three very different poems: Gerard Manley Hopkins' "The Times Are Nightfall" resists clear setting ("Work which to see scarce so much begun/Makes welcome death"), though Kirchner captures the romantic melancholy embedded in the poem, and closes with a touching cadence which would sound out of place in his later music. "A Letter to My Wife" by Sidney Alexander, written in 1938, depicts a love shadowed over by the fear of impending war, filled with drum-roll rumbles and implied fanfares, but never overwhelmed; Whitman's "The Runner" is an simple, four-line, almost prosaic description of a man running, captured in less than a minute of tone-painting. These early works, though perhaps a little slight, wear their romanticism more on their sleeve than do the later works, and provide a more accessible insight into the emotions of the composer that helps to unlock the more daunting later pieces. Diana Hoagland sings persuasively with careful attention to the texts, finding reserves of warmth even in the knottier phrases.
The other very early piece is the Little Suite (1949) for solo piano, whose five movements are over in less than five minutes. They comprise a genre with precious few other pieces – modern works intended for non-professional performers. Of the many accusations made about the inaccessibility of modern music, one of the more damning is that much of it is not playable by any but the most highly trained musicians. Kirchner in this suite speaks the same language as in his other pieces from this period, but does so briefly and without complication: a brief contrapuntal Prelude is followed by a Song that starts out quite conventionally then wanders slightly afield; then there is a rhythmic and spiky Toccata, a melodramatic and noisy Fantasy, and a shadowy and hypnotic Epilogue. This is music that is charming without being sentimental, simple without being simplistic.
With the choral Words from Wordsworth (1966) we are two decades further along and in a quite different sound world. The texts are brief fragments from The Tables Turned and Intimations of Immortality, broken apart and distributed among the voices – the gestures are now more concentrated, even percussive, with brief swoops of something like Sprechstimme; the piece is over in less than three minutes. The Twilight Stood (1982) for soprano and piano goes even further in its setting of six poems by Emily Dickinson. The soprano frequently is pushed to the extremes of her range; the piano is restless, often bursting out in torrents of notes; at other times, moving nervously behind the long lines of the singer. The texts are occasionally difficult to follow, but Kirchner at this point in his life is a more acute interpreter of the emotions moving in the text.
The disc is filled out with the brief (47 second) "A Moment for Roger", dedicated to Roger Sessions; and to The Forbidden, a solo sonata for piano from 2006. It takes its name from the catalog of forbidden elements (such as diminished sevenths) cataloged by the devil in Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus. Kirchner employed those elements here (and in both a string quartet and orchestral piece by the same name) to prove their usefulness when deployed in an original manner. The result is a propulsive and quicksilver piece which I found the most engaging of the recording.
The performers all show an intimate and idiomatic way with the music. In the case of The Twilight Stood, this is perhaps less remarkable as it is a live recording from 1982 featuring Kirchner himself on piano and soprano Beverly Hoch. The other pieces feature pianist Joel Fan as soloist and accompanist, who plays this music with clarity, eloquence, and occasional intelligent violence in The Forbidden; and Scott Dunn leads the excellent choir assembled for the recording in Dawn and Words from Wordsworth.

10 Items to grab when the SHTF!
HomeSurvival hacks10 Items to grab when the SHTF!
Tagged by a viewer 2nd Chance George. I was asked what 10 items would I grab in a SHTF scenario. Not an ideal situation but and exercise to make you think.
Primary Arms 1-6x Raptor & Midwest Industries SLH – an update to the previous update….


Fast forward half a decade and the teenager has stuck to her word. Having already amassed a string of national and international medals (32 gold, eight silver and two bronzes), since she started skating at the age of eight, Bagen has emerged into the spotlight with the attitude that she will put in as many hours as are required to reach the top of her sport, and thinks nothing of training sessions with a 5am start, prior to continuing her school studies in Edinburgh.
This summer, she spent her holidays under the tutelage of Michael Huth, the German maestro who coached the three-time European champion, Carolina Kostner.
Whether talking about learning from Huth or impressing the Kerrs or the former Olympic champion, Robin Cousins, Bagen possesses a relentless desire for self-improvement, which probably explains why many are predicting a bright future for the youngster.
"I love the adrenaline before you are about to skate in a competition, because it just makes me feel more determined and I really want to win," says Bagen, whose early career was nurtured by Leanne Collins and Alice Fell at the East Kilbride and Murrayfield rinks, before she joined forces with the renowned perfectionist, Huth. "He was very disciplined, which was different from anything I had experienced before, and he was very strict. But he had a great sense of humour as well -- I just didn't laugh until he did, to be on the safe side.
"The biggest thing for me was that I was in the same company as some of the most promising junior skaters in the world and, at the end of the summer, Michael put on a show and gave me a solo piece, which made me really proud, and it was something I totally enjoyed.
Much can happen in the transition from gifted youth to senior challenger. Yet, there is a drive and fierce commitment about Lana Bagen which hints at something special.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
— Arthur C Clarke's Third Law
As a new decade is about to begin I am drawn to thinking about the rate at which the world is changing and our ability to keep up with that change.
At the start of 1950 I was approaching my second birthday. My memories of that time are almost non-existent – just a few fleeting images lacking any context. My brain was still too busy coping with the basic mechanisms of being a sentient, living being to have much room for organizing incoming information. A framework takes time to construct and without it there's nowhere to place new facts, so everything goes into a disorganized heap. Perhaps some of it is still there but it's hard to access on demand.
Notwithstanding my inability to remember those days, however, the world of the time was very real but a remarkably different place to the one we live in now. The Second World War had finished only 5 years earlier, the UK monarchy was headed by King George VI and although the word "supermarket" had been coined a couple of decades earlier the first self-service stores in the UK had only arrived 2 years before. Here's an arbitrary list of other things that have changed out of all recognition over 70 years:
The first passenger jet aircraft (the De Havilland Comet) did not arrive for another 2 years.
The Ford Anglia (below) was typical of the models available for the majority of UK car buyers.
There was a single 405-line TV channel, available only in the South of England and only in black and white. If you wanted to see programmes in color you went to the movies.
Radio was AM (Amplitude Modulation) on medium and long wave. FM (Frequency Modulation) broadcasting did not start until 1955.
The 33 rpm (long play) record had been invented a couple of years earlier but there were no portable music players.
In the kitchen, a Kenwood Chef cost the modern equivalent of £500. Fridges and washing machines were also luxury goods few could afford.
Telephones were mostly black, had a dial instead of a keyboard and were connected to the exchange by a cable. Answering machines came later.
Ford Anglia
Imagine yourself unexpectedly transported back in time to 1950 with just the clothes you stand in. As you encounter this unfamiliar world you discover in your pocket just one attribute of the year 2020; your smartphone. Unfortunately, without a digital wireless telephone network most of its functions are non-operational. In the limited time before the battery expires, how would you establish your credentials as being from the world of 70 years hence by explaining to people what this curious object is and what it can do?
I'll assume your audience is intelligent and fully up-to-speed with current developments. For example, they would know that the transistor had been invented 2 years ago but would have no idea of its potential.
To start with, the materials used in the construction of the strange device you are holding will be unfamiliar. Although some plastics such as polyethylene had been invented there was no way they could pass off as metals in the way they do now. Sometimes the only clue is by touching; metals feel colder to the touch than do plastics.
When you power up your smartphone in front of your 1950 audience, the shock of seeing a blank slab of glass suddenly reveal pictures in living color will be considerable. The common assumption would be that it was some kind of magic trick involving a hidden cinema projector. So how do you explain to your new friends what is actually going on?
From valve to chip
The explanation starts in that time itself, in those early days of the transistor. Before then, wireless radio and TV sets used "triode valves"; glass envelopes similar to light bulbs but designed to perform switching functions rather than generate light. The presence or absence of a voltage on one of the triode pins caused it to pass or block electrical current on two other pins. Two more pins connected to a heating coil, without which the device wouldn't work. In those days you had to wait for a radio or TV set to "warm up" before it would do anything.
Triode valve
Valves were bulky, they consumed a lot of power and they had a limited lifetime before they "burned out". The simplest of computers requires hundreds of switching elements so their operators spent much of their time replacing blown valves. The transistor was revolutionary as it did away with the glass envelope. Instead, a blob of one metal on the surface of a small sheet of another allowed the same switching function to take place without the need for a heater. Transistors were smaller, they consumed far less power and they didn't wear out.
This new invention was revolutionary, permitting all sorts of devices to be built that had hitherto been impractical or impossible. The transistor radio, with just a handful of transistors replacing a similar number of valves, could be made small enough to carry about, and could be run from a battery, thus sparking a revolution in how music could be enjoyed on the move. But there were far bigger revolutions on the way.
Transistors were small and initially they were made just one at a time. The next step was to fabricate more than one on a single piece of the base material, silicon. The race had begun to put more and more transistors onto a single "chip"; first dozens, then hundreds, thousands, millions and so on until we reach the present day where the new Intel Core i9 CPU is believed to contain about 7 billion transistors.
This is too much for your audience in 1950. Seven billion transistors in the space of the smallest coin? This is way beyond anything science fiction dare imagine. So you need to explain how such a thing is possible, which takes us to photography, or to be more exact, photolithography.
Lithography, invented in 1796, is a printing technique whereby a design is created in oil on a stone or metal plate, which is then exposed to an acid that etches away the unprotected areas. Ink is applied to the resulting printing plate but only adheres to the un-etched areas so it can then be transferred to a sheet of paper.
An electronic device with millions or even billions of transistors starts as a large-scale design that uses a very sophisticated version of the above to create the same design in miniature on a piece of silicon. The machines that are built to do this work are themselves extremely complex and cost billions of pounds, so they only become economic if a huge number of chips are to be produced at a price low enough for millions to be sold. The designs referred to above are themselves held in computers that could not exist without some previous version of the same chip being available.
In this way the industry builds upon itself, year after year and generation after generation. The process is called "bootstrapping"; a reference to "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps", which although impossible in the normal world is effectively what is happening in the world of microelectronics. The magical device you are showing to a 1950 audience is not unique; there's one in nearly every pocket. They are disposable items we casually dispense with as soon as a better model appears. This notion alone is enough to give 1950s people a headache.
So now, having given your 1950 audience time to recover from the thought of machines creating billions of future versions of themselves, let's show them what a smartphone can do with the power conferred by the chips that drive it.
We all use our smartphone in different ways, but at some point most of us use it as a telephone. Unfortunately, there was no mobile phone network in 1950 so your audience only has your word that a simple slab of plastic, metal and glass can perform the miracle that is telephony. After all, where are the microphone, receiver and dial? Not to mention the cable that connects it to a telephone junction box (there were no plug-in sockets in those days).
This leaves you unable to demonstrate the primary function of the device. So what's left? How about mapping? Surely that will impress them? Well it would but for the fact that the first satellite, Sputnik 1, went up in 1957, the first mobile phone network opened in 1979 and Google was not founded until 1998. You may have a stored map on your phone but no navigation features will work.
In the absence of anything to demonstrate, you might like to describe to your sceptical audience the nature of telephone networks in 2020, though the changes that have taken place over 70 years are just as mind-boggling as any other part of the smartphone. You could start with satellites. Although there were none in orbit at that time, rocket technology was well advanced. It is interesting that the fastest non-rocket powered plane, the Lockheed SR-71, was built only a few years after your visit to 1950 and still holds that record. Your audience will surely be persuadable that objects can soon be launched into orbit around the Earth, and that some of these objects could hold radio transmitters and receivers able to permit communication with the planet below.
Given the size of aerial required at the time to handle regular radio and TV signals it could be a bigger step to convince them that a device small enough to put into a pocket could communicate at any distance, and in the case of GPS from space itself. But assume you overcome that hurdle, then GPS is the next step. This is after all based on triangulation, well known to mariners and other navigators for centuries. It's only mathematics, after all. What takes more effort to comprehend is our ability to measure the position on its wave at which each signal arrives, when the waves themselves are microscopically short and operating at frequencies which at the time were inconceivable, and from those measurements establish where the user is to an accuracy of a few meters.
Almost as mindboggling is the way hundreds of phone conversations are crammed into a single transmission during their journeys around the telephone network. Everything – voices, data, music and video – are all hurtling along cables on land and under the sea, between radio masts and out into space and back, and errors are so rare as to be essentially nonexistent. Here we have a triumph of mathematics; algorithms that can overcome errors inherent in any communications channel and deliver a perfect copy of the original, even encrypting and de-encrypting along the way if this is required to prevent eavesdropping. The same mathematical principles are also applied to the recording of compact discs, allowing vast quantities of data to be stored reliably on what is a very error-prone medium.
In fact, of all the things you can do with your phone, just about the only ones that don't require a network are some games and the media player. These are pretty impressive in their own right, of course, though a modern computer game will look pretty baffling to people in 1950. The first video game (Pong) was invented in 1958 and bears little resemblance to any game you'd play on a smartphone. Some of our Solitaire games, though, might be understandable once they get past the idea of being able to interact with a screen by touching it.
The first touchscreen was built in around 1965 but the technology didn't find its way into phones until the IBM Simon in 1992. Now we have pressure sensitivity and multi-touch with up to 20 or even more touchpoints (for those with that many fingers). Touch technology allows the screen to be pinched and zoomed; it also works with handwriting recognition or the ability to type words by swiping through all the letters they contain. The pattern recognition software that drives this is smart enough to recognize not just words that aren't in the dictionary but also syntax and even style errors, and offer or substitute better alternatives. To anyone used to a 1950s mechanical typewriter this is close to magic.
Finally we have cameras and media players, each the result of long chains of development over the decades. A camera relies on a panel that is sensitive to light, both in intensity and color, and to achieve the resolution demanded by modern photography a huge number of sensors have to be packed into a very small space as a single chip. As described above, photolithography comes to the rescue. Each sensor point is a transistor built in such a way that light falling on it affects its electrical behavior, allowing the signals from millions of similar devices to be translated into an image. The speed with which this can be done allows many hundreds of samples to be taken every second, enough to achieve video at high frame rates.
Images captured in this way take up a lot of space but the eye and brain do not require all the information to be present in order to see a "perfect" image, so a huge amount of research has been done into discovering just how much can be discarded. This combination of psychology, physiology and mathematics have resulted in algorithms such as JPEG (Joint Pictures Expert Group), which can compress images to a small fraction of their original size without causing any perceived loss of quality. The computations require large amounts of processing power so they are only possible in anything close to real time thanks to the huge advances in computer power that have taken place over the same period.
The ability to take pictures and do complex processing are at their most impressive when used in combination by apps like Instagram to play tricks with reality itself; decorating actual photos with effects that rely on the software "understanding" what it's looking at so it can add outsized sunglasses to a face or outlandish clothing to a human form. This is merely the latest in a chain of developments that started ten or more years ago with cameras that were able to detect their subjects blinking while the photo was being taken and to warn the camera operator.
Well it turns out there was a mysterious fault in your smartphone itself, responsible for projecting you back 70 years. Once the battery died the projection failed and you have been returned to the present, and once recharged your phone will resume working at it always did. For the people you visited in 1950 your disappearance was as sudden as your appearance.
In spite of your efforts to describe 70 years of future technological development, you won't have changed history in any way; everything you told them was so outlandish that nobody would believe it in the re-telling. You'd have done better by predicting the first organ transplant, the start of the Korean War or the death of the King to come in February 6, 1952; that way you'd have made your mark as a true seer.
I am left with one thought; suppose a visitor from 2090 were to appear today and attempt to describe his or her world to us. Would we find it any easier to believe the changes that are to come upon us? Or are we, like those people in 1950, prisoners of our time, unable to believe the existence of something way outside our experience until it is a historical fact?
A very Happy New Year to all.

We reside worldwide of conversation, where by conversation might be described as "the activity or process of indicating suggestions and sensation, and of delivering details to the people". Communication comes about through the method of terminology and it is presented in 2 various forms viz, written and talked. The cabability to talk inside a words mirrors a person's personality, self-picture, and data around the world, power to reason and expertise to convey feelings in real time. Nonetheless talked vocabulary abilities usually rating much more in terms of power above written talent, given the fact that verbal interaction is usually with greater frequency employed than written..

However, it is not necessarily always easy for individuals that use English as a next terminology so as to articulate on the stage as a local presenter. They have to flawlessly comprehend the phonetics of English, have a strong grasp on proper terminology and then location terms jointly intelligently and without the need of reluctance in forming comprehensible phrases. In addition, they have to understand exactly what is becoming thought to them and require to be able to react properly to determine background associations or accomplish their communicative target. Put simply, comprehension capabilities are crucial to efficient English language communication. No-native British speakers typically deal with these obstacles and are generally subjected to make some mistakes at sizeable. Moreover, from a look recollection of my own experience, we have seen a lot of events that caused discomfort and miscommunication because of imperfect order on British.
Talked English interaction is an important assortment parameter for several work functions right now. User profiles like revenue, client maintenance, front side business office work call for very good English talking abilities at huge regardless of sectors or businesses. A lot of deserving applicants miss out on careers simply because they may not be so excellent at English language speaking expertise.
The real key factors that impede efficient The english language communication include of inadequate understanding of grammatical abilities, unorganized looking at and understanding abilities, inadequate terminology and phonetics.

Local Groups Help LGBT Victims of Hurricane Dorian in Bahamas
09/11/2019 | South Florida Gay News
Local LGBT and LGBT-friendly organizations are joining forces to get much-needed funds and supplies to LGBT Bahamians whose lives were upended after Hurricane Dorian. Thousands of residents of Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands are relocating after the storm because they lack access to housing, food, and water. Among that population are presumed to be a significant number of LGBT people. Pride Fort Lauderdale and the Rustin fund are partnering to get help to LGBT victims as quickly as possible. "While there are already many organizations working in the Bahamas, LGBT+ people are still frequently overlooked in disaster relief responses," said Charlie Rounds, who is managing the effort, in a pre-released statement. "In the wake of the first major hurricane of the season, many displaced LGBT+ persons in the Bahamas are urgently in need of safe and friendly temporary housing, as well as the basic necessities for survival." The Rustin Fund for Global Equality, founded in memory of gay civil rights pioneer Bayard Rustin, is soliciting financial donations online. Caribbean Vulnerable Communities Coalition (CVC) will distribute those funds to LGBT organizations in the Bahamas. Both the Rustin Fund and CVC work to empower LGBT people in developing countries actively.

Welcome to the 48th Annual Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest!
Nestled high in the San Bernardino mountains, we pride ourselves in throwing one of the best German celebrations this side of Munich.
The following will get you started on enjoying our quaint celebration! Prosit!.
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest begins in early September and runs through the first Saturday of November. Peak-season for Oktoberfest generally begins in October. However, it is interesting to note that the original Oktoberfest in Munich actually begins September 22 and ends on October 7th. September weekends at the Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest tend to be less crowded with all the same great entertainment as the October weekends. Sundays in Big Bear are family day with free admission for children 12 and under. Sunday's German fun is geared toward families.
Tickets are on sale now and can be pre-purchased for all the weekends. If you are coming to Oktoberfest in October, we do recommend you pre-purchase tickets. Pre-purchased ticket holders always receive "Priority Entry" and are limited so shop early!
Also available on line for pre-purchase are 10-pack Bier Booklets and Burgermeister Booklets. Be prepared, walk-in and enjoy everything Oktoberfest has to offer without having to go to a ticket booth.
Burgermeister Bucks are ticket booklets good for purchasing food items at the German Kitchen, the new Food Court and the Sports Park Grill. They can also be used to purchase all beverages (including beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee, etc.).
Bier Booklets are books of 10 beer tickets and is one way to save you time once you're here.
If we knew exactly what the weather was going to be like during Oktoberfest, we wouldn't be writing this text!!! Typically, Big Bear enjoys an Indian Summer during the month of September. Daytime highs range in the upper 60's to upper 70's with nighttime lows dipping into the 50's to low 40's. Fall begins to set in during October with daytime highs in the upper 50's to mid 60's. Nighttime can get a little chilly with lows dipping into the low 30's. So, be prepared with a light jacket. We do have space heaters in all the outside bier gartens, but later in the event a jacket or sweater is generally needed. For the absolute best Big Bear local weather forecast go to bigbearweather.com.
That said, please note that there is no re-entry during Oktoberfest. So be sure to bring everything you might need for your day of festing including a camera, jacket and sunscreen!
Parking is free, however, limited. We do offer Preferred Parking for $15 per car for those who want front row service.
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest offers a complimentary shuttle that runs from the downtown Big Bear Village to Oktoberfest on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you have a little too much Oktoberfest fun, let us do the driving. The Coor's N.A. Complimentary Shuttle begins running on Saturday evenings at 6 p.m. and provides door to door service anywhere you are staying within the Big Bear Valley throughout the night.
Dial up one of the local Taxi companies, the City's Dial-a-Ride or Uber.
You've arrived . . . now what?
Come on in, grab yourself a seat and get comfortable for a full day of fun.
TICKETS, TICKETS, WHO HAS THE TICKETS?
For the convenience of our guests, all German food and Bier and Wine must be purchased with tickets. There are five convenient ticket booth locations throughout the grounds to purchase tickets. Or better yet, save time and pre-purchase either the Burgermeister Ticket Book or the Ten-pack Bier booklets on line prior to your arrival.
Ticket types include: Dinner, Sandwich, Beer, Wine, Burgermeister Bucks and Bier Booklets. Burgermeister Bucks can be used for both food and alcohol and can be purchased in $2.00 increments in books of $40.00 or $80.00.
Dance, Sing, Eat and Be Merry.
You can't help but participate in the fun at Oktoberfest.
Put on your dancing shoes, because you'll definitely want to do the Chicken Dance or Circle Dance. Grab one of our Gaudi's (Hostesses/Hosts) and dance.
Enter one of our free contests. Saw a log, hold a stein, or slam an Coor's N.A..
After a few rounds of polkas, Macarena's, Chicken dances, etc., step outside and take a big breath of fresh mountain air. Take a stroll down the Budenstrasse (Avenue of the Booths). The outside vendor and game area features everything from homemade soaps, to sports memorabilia, to handmade jewelry and candies. Have your palm read or simply enjoy a bag of Kennel Korn.
Little Oktoberfest fans will enjoy the Kinder Garten complete with bounce houses, face painting, airbrush tattoos and carnival games.
We serve up a German feast fit for a king. All the favorites from Brats, to Schweine Braten, to pretzels, to pickled pig feet and Strudel.
And, if you're looking for something other than German food, we offer that too. Hans' German Cantina offers a unique fusion of German and Mexican favorites from German Nachos to Brat Burritos to Southwest Cobb Salads.
The Wurst Wagon serves up good old fashioned grilled burgers, chicken strips, fries, Beer Cheese Soup or Split Pea Soups.
Other festival favorites include Kettle Korn, Deep Fried Oreos and Funnel Cakes.
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest proudly pours both German and American bier & wine, as well as a variety of soft drinks, water, coffee and sports drinks.
There are two main inside bars and four outside bier gartens – the Warsteiner Bier Garten, the Spaten Bier Garten, the Shock Top Sports Garten, and new this year, the Budenstrasse Bier Garten. It's all about the beer! Click here for what's on tap!
Looking for the best deal on beer?
Buy a stein! General beer cup sizes are 16 oz.(1 ticket) and 32 oz.(2 tickets). Our steins sizes start at 16.9 oz. (1 ticket) and increase to 33.1 oz. (2 tickets). You do the math. We also offer Warsteiner mini kegs, which are 5 liter cans. Mini kegs are $48.00 and pour 10+ 14 oz. cups. And finally, we offer Bier Booklets which consist of 10 beer tickets for $80.00.
Be sure to stop by the Oktoberfest Shoppe or the Oktoberfest Kaufhaus and pick-up an Oktoberfest souvenir. We offer everything from Sweatshirts, to T-shirts, to hair wreaths, to magnets, to festival hats and much more. Both locations also offer a full selection of beer steins. Click here to see this year's steins and what we have to offer.

Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott said at a press conference Tuesday he hopes the teenager accused of killing an 80-year-old woman near Strafford on Friday will be charged as an adult.
Mary J. Shisler, 80, was found dead in a field near her home in northeastern Greene County on Friday night, and a 16-year-old boy from Republic was later arrested in Webster County in connection with the homicide, according to the sheriff's office.
Bill Prince, the family court administrator and chief juvenile officer, said Sunday the 16-year-old had been charged with seven offenses in juvenile court. Prince said the equivalent of those charges if they were brought against an adult are first-degree murder, armed criminal action, abandonment of a corpse, second-degree burglary, stealing, attempted arson and tampering with a motor vehicle.
A juvenile judge could decide to send the case to adult court, but it's unclear when that decision might come.
When asked Tuesday if he thought the teen would be charged as an adult, Arnott said, "I certainly would hope so."
Arnott did not give the suspect's name, but he did provide a few new details about the case at Tuesday's press conference. He said a witness reported seeing Shisler talking with the suspect in front of her home on Friday prior to the 911 call, but he still believes the killing was "totally random."
"It's not, unfortunately, the day and time that you can assume a young man, or someone else, is your friend," Arnott said. "I hate to say it, but that's the facts."
Arnott also said investigators brought the teen back to the scene of the homicide to help them find Shisler's body on Friday night after he was arrested.
Arnott said investigators have some information about the motive for the killing, but he could not discuss the motive since the case is still in juvenile court.
Shisler's cause of death, Arnott said, was blunt force trauma to the head.
According to a news release from the Greene County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called out to a home in the 8300 block of North Farm Road 223 near Strafford at about 5:45 p.m. Friday to check on Shisler after a neighbor noticed an unfamiliar car in the driveway.
The release says the neighbor told deputies the home had been ransacked, there was a strong odor of gas inside and Shisler's pickup truck was missing.
Authorities later found the truck when it pulled into someone's driveway in Webster County, and the resident called 911 to report suspicious behavior, according to the release.
The release says authorities stopped the truck in Webster County and arrested the driver, a 16-year-old boy from Republic.
The teen was taken into custody and transported to the Greene County Juvenile Detention facility, the release says.
Later that night, at about 11 p.m., the release says, authorities found Shisler's body with stab wounds in a field near her home. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Arnott said neither Shisler nor the suspect had any ties to one another.
At Tuesday's press conference, Arnott cautioned people in Greene County to look out for their neighbors.
"Watch out for each other," Arnott said. "There are evil people out there, and this community has experienced it more than it should."
Prince, with juvenile court, explained that in a murder case, juvenile prosecutors are required to file a motion to dismiss to allow prosecution under the general law.
At a future hearing, a judge will decide to either accept that motion and have the juvenile charged as an adult, or keep the case in juvenile court, according to Prince.

MasterCard Foundation launches US$ 50 million fund for rural farmers in Africa
Rayhab Gachango
Good news for the Agricultural sector, today MasterCard Foundation launched a USD 50 million challenge fund. The fund is meant to improve the lives of smallholder farmers. The idea is to create an enabling environment for financial services to be provided to rural farmers. MasterCard Foundation today launched a US$50 million challenge fund to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in Africa by enabling businesses to begin or expand financial services in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa.
"The idea is to provide access to training, markets, financial services and insurance" according the Anne Miles, the Financial Inclusion Director of the Mastercard Foundation. "the fund is meant to be a catalyst and is meant to stimulate the private sector to engage with farmers."
Reeta Roy, President and CEO of The MasterCard Foundation said that even though there has been substantial economic growth, this has not befitted the rural poor. Many of these are mostly smallholder farmers who are women depending on subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods. "This new Fund will stimulate private sector organizations to provide affordable and accessible savings, credit and insurance products. These services are essential to enable African farmers to increase productivity and incomes and, ultimately, grow rural economies."
The MasterCard Foundation Fund for Rural Prosperity supports innovative ideas that can be scaled up (potential) and that also have a social impact.
• Innovation: $15 million will support the development of ideas for new products, services or processes that increase access to finance for the rural poor; and
• Scaling: $35 million will help to scale the most promising ideas or pilots that have the potential to drive financial inclusion for smallholder farmers in new geographic areas.
Rural households (over 70%) derive most of their income from agriculture. Getting finances from financial institutions has been a challenge as many of these institutions lack the knowledge and capacity to develop products and services for this segment.
Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u, Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, said: "Over the last decade, the Central Bank of Kenya has championed financial inclusion supported by innovation in the financial services sector in Kenya. As a result, the proportion of Kenyans who are unbanked has declined from 38.4 percent in 2006 to 32.7 percent in 2009 and 25 percent in 2013. Kenya's vision as espoused in its developmental blueprint, ''Vision 2030'' is to leapfrog penetration of financial services by 2030. Financial inclusion is the surest way to achieve inclusive growth for Kenya. We expect that this initiative by The MasterCard Foundation will be critical to achieving this vision by extending financial services to a broader spectrum of rural households."
Applications for innovation proposals will be accepted from 20th January to 20th March 2015. These are for projects in 24 countries including Burundi, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, DRC, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda and Zambia. The project will be managed by KPMG International Advisory Services. Later in the year, applicants will have the opportunity to submit proposals for scaling business ideas, products or services in eight countries (Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia).

News archive - EU adopts €1 billion package to support reforms and regional cooperation in the Western Balkans and Turkey
The European Commission has adopted its 2015 package of pre-accession assistance programmes to support reforms and regional cooperation in countries wishing to join the EU
The European Commission has adopted its 2015 package of pre-accession assistance programmes to support reforms and regional cooperation in countries wishing to join the EU, totalling approximatively €1 billion.
"This package expresses our strong commitment to the EU perspective for the Western Balkans and Turkey. It is a long-term investment in the EU's own stability, security and prosperity and will support the political and economic reform process of the countries on their EU accession path", said Johannes Hahn, European Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations.
Support for reforms
The funding comes under the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II), and will be available to Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey. It will support further democratic and economic reforms, the modernisation of the judiciary and of public administration, as well as regional cooperation.
Investment in Connectivity
The package notably includes a €155 million programme to help fund major regional infrastructure projects in the energy and transport sectors in the Western Balkans: four power interconnections, two road projects and two rail projects, all of which will bring economies and societies closer together. The EU contribution is expected to trigger loans from partner financial institutions totalling €540 million.
Improving connectivity within the Western Balkans, as well as between the Western Balkans and EU, is a key factor for the economic development of the region. The Commission has made the connectivity agenda one of its highest priorities in this region, with the full support of the Western Balkans governments. Special emphasis is given on preparing and financing concrete regional infrastructure investment projects, but also on implementing technical standards and soft measures (e.g. simplifying border crossing procedures or unbundling utilities, and third party access to networks).

Strengthening Communities in New Ways
You share our passion. You have ideas about how to improve your part of the world. And you know people who are willing to volunteer to help. But there isn't a Lions club near you. Don't worry. That's exactly how many of our clubs get started.
Start a New Club
Start a new Lions club and develop programs that interest you. While community-based clubs are our tradition, we realize that one size does not fit all. That's why we offer several club types for you to choose from:
Traditional clubs are the most common club type, and offer a group of people flexibility when serving their community. Consider chartering a club based on members common interests such as a hobby, profession or ethnicity. Often, a shared interest brings even greater energy to a group of Lions.
A club branch allows a small group of people to start a club before they have reached the 20 person charter requirement so they can start making a difference in their community sooner.
Campus clubs make an impact on your local college or university community while connecting students, faculty members and business leaders. Campus clubs offer students the opportunity to strengthen their leadership skills and build their resume.
Whatever the case, we will help you start the Lions club that works best for you and your community.
