Killing Eve Season 3 Episode 3
Killing Eve has reached the point in its lifespan where it can use our expectations as viewers against us, and "Meetings Have Biscuits" is an excellent example of how to do so effectively. Two of the biggest stand-out moments, Villanelle on the bus and using Carolyn as a red herring for the episode's second kill, rely on fans knowing the show likes to teases us when it comes to seeing #Villaneve together and is willing to kill off our faves. Somehow, giving us the real thing in one case and faking us out in another both have the same effect: keeping the audience on our collective toes.
When Villanelle appeared on the bus, it felt like time slowed down as I waited for the telltale sign that Eve had drifted off on her ride home. But it never came, and Killing Eve showed us how sometimes the best way to be coy is to simply deliver exactly what we've been waiting for, suddenly and unflinchingly, instead of withholding. Even better: Eve's violent reaction to Villanelle kissing her. We've been waiting for an all-out brawl for so long and it was the perfect reason for our drab, listless Eve to wake the hell up. Meanwhile, the soundtrack (a cover of The Kinks' "This Strange Effect") was tempting us to think we would still get the old Eve: "You've got this strange effect on me and I like it…and I like the way you kissed me. Don't know if I should…that's why I feel good."
Villanelle killing Sergei goes the other direction by legitimately making it seem (if only for a moment) like Carolyn Martens was dead before revealing the truth. Yet the move doesn't feel cheap or like a fakeout, regardless of how it might seem on paper. After Kenny died, it truly feels like anyone could die, and putting Carolyn (whom the show has positioned as a third lead more with each season) in literal crosshairs was a startling reminder of that fact. After the obligatory punch-pulling on Eve's death, the writers needed to do something to remind us of the stakes. Coming within inches of taking away Fiona Shaw is certainly a way to do it.
The world of Carolyn and Bitter Pill came together properly, and the palpable animosity between Carolyn and her son's boss is absolutely life-giving. More of Carolyn swanning around like a boss, please. I could watch her do eccentric things like take meetings from the bath all season long, especially considering how easily Fiona Shaw slips in so much characterization in a brief line like, "It's not fun using people you once loved."
Speaking of Carolyn, she's increasingly one to watch from a fashion standpoint, including her red "date night" top in this episode. Dasha continues to bring it 80s-style/normcore with her head-to-toe power-clashing animal prints. Villanelle's many great looks include those gold shoes, her Fruit Stripes Gum/90s Kate Spade-looking dress with dramatic sleeves, obviously the overalls and double-breasted grey suit, and the fabulous wide leg yellow high waisted pants look. Finally, shout out to Eve rocking her drab season 1 office look again. It's not a great look but I'm feeling nostalgic.
My biggest struggle with this episode is the way that it does two things, both centering around the painfully long exposition dump on the mystery with Twelve and who killed Kenny. First, the audience is asked to remember a relatively small one-off character, Panda, to a startling degree. It can make the world feel more real to bring back up old characters, even dead ones, but most will recall little more than that Panda was killed in the sex shop back in season 2. Second, this episode becomes about labyrinthine financial crimes to an unprecedented degree.
Both of these are uncharacteristic of the show, asking the audience to step out of the stylish, fun mode that we're used to and start parsing a confusing mess of information to decode the main events of the central mystery. Racing to figure out what Villanelle and Eve are each (separately) up to and watching them try to beat one another at their own game is one of them most fun parts of the show. But without a basic understanding of what's going on, the audience is largely on the outside of the game.
If Killing Eve is to become more reliant on exposition, one-and-done characters from its past, and – perhaps the worst offender – understanding financial crimes, it's going to need to get a lot better at delivering them to us.
– Yes, Villanelle did steal an entire baby and Dasha literally threw it in the thrash. How many more times will they allude to Villanelle and Eve settling down, white picket fence-style, only to turn it into, well, something more grotesque?
– Eve telling someone else about self-control is W I L D
– I would watch an entire prequel series about a young Carolyn Martens (and I guess Konstantin) and all her spy exploits and Cold War Boyfriends.
– "Don't talk about Stalin! He's strictly third date!"
– Villanelle is back on that perfume train: "I want to smell like a Roman centurion whose coming across an old foe, who in battle once hurt him greatly, who since then the Roman centurion has become emperor and is now powerful beyond measure." "Maybe something woody?"
– Creepiest use of the song "Teddy Bears' Picnic" ever!
– Is Eve afraid to get on the bus now?
– They're really owning this pink poufy thing this season.
Keep up with Killing Eve season 3 news and reviews.

This weekend, a water pipe broke in the ceiling of Wedgeworth Elementary School in Waxahachie, Texas. Flooding was not discovered until Sunday night. Leaking water flowed through the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade hallways causing extensive damage. Raechelle Ivy, a 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher, whose classroom was directly under the leak, lost 15 years of teaching materials-- including her classroom library. Ms. Ivy works to engage students with reading, but this goal faces a new challenge this year as she struggles to instill a love of reading without many books.
Raechelle will share any book donations with other teachers at her school who need them. I am loading a box now!


Have you got rotary encoders on these axes as well? If you do then you can use the "Z" signal of the encoder to detect your homing position. Basically drive the motor until you hit the limit switch, then drive the motor the other way until you detect the "Z" signal (i.e. full rotation signal), this will be your know homing position. Obviously if you do not have the encoders you will have to rely on homing sensor (as Mendon mentioned preferably not a typical mechanical one due to the lack of accuracy).
It seems to be a know problem (subset-sum problem), if you search on the Internet you will most likely find a few applicable solutions. Depending on the computational resources you can either try to find the best solution using all the individual weights as inputs, or sort them first and then utilize just a subset of these. I wrote a control program for a multi-head weigher (16 heads) a few years ago, I will have a look and see if I can find it.
Which PLC, HMI, should i choose?
What type of a motor will you use? Standard 3-phase asynchronous motor, DC motor, servo motor? Will you control it using a relay/contactor or a driver/inverter? In case of positioning, relying on timers is not a good idea, to get any reasonable accuracy you would need an encoder of some kind. To be honest you have not provided any detailed information regarding your application. Tell me what are you trying to achieve, what kind of drives will you use, how complex is the machine, etc. Then we will be able to advise you on the possible solutions.
MicroLogix 1500 - connect via Channel 1?
Allen-Bradley as well as MicroLogix family is something completely new to me. Anyway, I have the following question. I have a MicroLogix 1500 PLC which has to be re-programmed. It has two serial ports, Channel 0 (round-shaped, 8-pin, DIN connector) and Channel 1 (standard DB9 socket). The current software in the PLC makes use of the Modbus Slave mode at the Channel 1. I do not have the dedicated programming cable with round, DIN connector so I would like to program it using a standard DB9-DB9 cable. Now, the problem is - am I able to connect to the PLC using Channel 1? I know that there is a 'default comm parameters' switch, but it only affects the Channel 0. Is there a way to temporarily default the Channel 1 parameters as well? Just for programming? Or maybe I am able to connect to the PLC despite the fact that it is in the Modbus Slave mode on that port? Or do I have to buy the dedicated cable and program the PLC using the Channel 0?
Maybe I'll just describe the procedure that works for me. I start with adding a new graphics. Then I add required states to the newly created element. Then if I place any element (e.g. bit lamp) on the screen and use the new graphics, the transparency works without any glitches (as an example, yellow background with letter on transparent background). As for your reference, you'll find my .png file with letter A on transparent background here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23860146/mrPLC/letterA.png . Hope that helps.
You have to use graphics format with native transparency support which is at the same time supported by NB designer. I suggest you use .png graphics. So instead of colored background you use transparent one in .png file.
I've been playing with Omron built-in file functions in CJ2M-CPU32. According to the manuals, I am able to read and write data (with FWRITE and FREAD) and do some other stuff like delete files, create directories (by means of FINS messaging). Now the case is that I want to list all the files in given directory. For example, I have a CompactFlash card installed, with directory \Recipes. In this directory there is an undefined number of .csv files. Assume that I want to make a list of those and display them in HMI. Is it even possible to make such a list in any reasonable manner? Or do I have to know the list of files a priori to access them?
In general I really love the STEP/SNXT functionality in Omron controllers, I just don't understand why other manufacturers do not support something similar, i.e. ladder representation of SFC. That just significantly reduces code responsible for the state machine mechanics. Anyway, I believe that the most popular pattern for implementation of state machines it to program two dependent layers: one layer responsible for the state machine mechanics (i.e. you map the step number to corresponding coil that executes some actions, while also managing transitions from step to step) and the other responsible for the above mentioned actions - i.e. when step coil is active make some movement, turn on the pump etc. Once you get the picture it is quite efficient. On the other hand I've seen some state machines programmed in structured-text FB's (e.g. using case statement), but I'm not really a fan of such solution. Though, maybe somebody else knows something about more efficient ways of programming state machines in PLC-s, also taking into account the new capabilities of NJ-series.
The problem is that the macro is executed when you press the Number Input component, not when a new value is entered. Thus, the macro ends long before the keypad is displayed. One solution would be to run a cyclic macro when given screen is displayed (let's say every 1 second or so), though that would slow down the HMI a little bit (depending on the macro complexity). The other solution would be to design a custom keypad so that every time you press Enter key the macro would be executed. That would require a custom keypad for every numeric input so I don't think that's a reasonable solution in case of multiple inputs.
I am not really that much into Siemens (I work mainly with Omron PLC's), but from my experience S7-1200 fits for small scale, low cost machines (its' possibilities are quite limited compared to S7-300). If you are willing to use something new you could go for S7-1500 (current replacement for S7-300/S7-400).
I was wondering recently how far can you go when it comes to integration of safety circuitry. Here's an example: I've got a small production line composed of 4 independent machines (system of conveyors, one check-weigher and two processing machines). Now, three of those were provided by an external company, these are stock models incorporating basic safety circuits (mainly E-Stop and several guard doors). Now, imagine I want to have a complete, integrated safety circuit so in case of emergency one does not have to wonder which e-stop button to press and that all the machines will stop immediately. Can I mingle with the safety circuits and develop a single-centralized circuit (obviously under assumption that the person responsible knows what he's doing in accordance with the standards). Or maybe one should avoid at all cost such integration and stick to stopping individual machines with individual e-stop buttons, where the remaining machines will be stopped with standard, non-safety information. I believe there is no single, universal answer to this question, but I would like to ask other experienced people what's their opinion on this subject. I would be grateful for any suggestions as this is not the first time when I'm wondering how far you can, and how far you must go when integrating safety circuitry.
Yes, it is possible to control the speed of MX2 inverter via Modbus interface. A001 register is responsible for the frequency source configuration and A002 for run command source configuration. You have to simply change the A001 register to 003 and leave A001 unchanged, this way you will control the speed via Modbus and apply RUN command via terminal block.


If God has gifted you with a love for the poor and a desire to know him more deeply, he may be offering you the precious gift of a vocation to consecrated life. We'd be happy to talk to you about how to serve and to accompany you in your discernment.
With the recent canonization of our foundress and the ever increasing population of older persons, our vocation is more relevant than ever. Saint Jeanne Jugan often said, "What happiness for us, to be a Little Sister of the Poor!" We feel the same way today and we're eager to share our joy with you.

A few days ago on April 2nd, a forum poster by the name of KansasCityJoe turned up at AndroidCentral.com forums out of nowhere and suggested he had a pre-release version of Android 2.1 on a Samsung Moment. KansasCityJoe, being a busy urban dude, has not posted any evidence, however, and other forum readers quickly called him out on it.
Well word has it that they have found some more problems (I haven't seen any personally). Whether that will affect the release or not is up in the air. If I were a betting sort of guy, I would bet that they release it this week anyway. But that is just me. My boss has said they will have more info on Monday.
The phone, which is currently running Android 1.5 was expected to receive an update sometime in March, together with the HTC Hero but unexpected delays apparently pushed it further, at least according to Joe.

Kuoni and the East India Company Join Forces to Bring Alive the Ancient Art of Tea Drinking
Released on: October 24, 2012, 12:26 pm
Author: Kuoni
October 24, 2012, 12:26 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Kuoni has joined forces with the recently re-launched East India Company, to bring alive the ancient art of tea drinking at two exciting customer events to be hosted in The East India Company's chic store at 7-8 Conduit Street, London, W1S 2XF on 06 and 15 November 2012, and one customer event to be hosted on the stunning SS Great Britain, a former passenger steamship now permanently docked in Bristol's Great Western Dockyard, on 13 November 2012.
Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1600, The East India Company was founded by a group of enterprising merchants and businessmen to explore the mysteries of the East. It quickly began exploring new territories, mapping trade routes and discovering exotic goods all over the world. Its pioneers and adventurers established trading posts which would eventually grow into iconic world cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai.
So now Kuoni Travel is to bring alive the exotic destinations where the East India Company's tea is grown to an audience who are interested in travel, discovery and the story behind how tea travels from plantation to porcelain cup.
Tea master, Lalith Lenadora who started at the age of 18 as a tea planter in his native Sri Lanka, will guide customers through the many exotic varieties of tea. The journey will include some of the world's most interesting teas: rare white varieties such as Golden Tips, subtle green teas such as Dragonwell and Buttery Oolongs from Taiwan, rich black teas such as Rainforest Lumbini and Darjeeling First Flush to some romantic flowering teas such as Sacred Heart, and Thousand Year Red. Each tea is hand-selected by Mr Lenadora who will explain how to develop an understanding of the seasonal qualities of the teas and how to fully enjoy their unique flavours.
On the evenings, Kuoni's personal travel experts will be on hand to bring alive the far flung destinations these teas are grown in and to talk to customers about holidays to these locations. Kuoni makes a point of hand-picking the best retreats, authentic travel experiences and hotels and tours that are exclusive to Kuoni guests.
At the events customers will be able to taste not only teas but also some of the exotic canapés, biscuits and chocolates that the company creates using their worldwide palette of influence. Customers will also have their names entered into a prize draw to win a flavour of the East India Trading company.
Those interested in attending one of the events can reach Kuoni's Rebecca Leech on 01306 744 010 or rebecca.leech@kuoni.co.uk, giving a full name, address details and phone number so tickets can be posted. The event details are: The East India Company Shop, 7-8 Conduit Street, London, W1S 2XF on 06 and 15 November 2012 from 6.30pm to 9.00pm SS Great Britain, Great Western Dockyard, Gas Ferry Road, Bristol, BS1 6TY on 13 November from 6.00pm to 8.30pm

David King is a San Diego corporate attorney.
Entrepreneurs often share ownership with key members of management to give others a stake in the company's success, retain them and add to their compensation without adding to payroll. Members of management take pride in ownership, strive to build the value of the enterprise and enjoy a tax-deferred wealth enhancement. However, sharing ownership with others comes at a cost and with risk. Phantom stock plans can mitigate these risks.
Shares of a corporation's stock must be issued in exchange for cash, property or past services. When shares are issued in exchange for past services the recipient must recognize taxable income, just like W-2 wages. Key employees are often disappointed to learn that they must either pay the fair market value of their shares or face taxable income.
Stock options are a popular form of equity compensation and a key component of corporate finance in the high-tech economy. Companies in Silicon Valley typically plan for an initial public offering. Expectations of exponential early growth in the stock price justify the cost of properly implementing a stock option plan with tax-favored incentive stock options (ISOs). In 2013, most businesses do not expect to go public, taking some of the luster out of ISOs. Ultimately, stock options must be exercised, requiring a cash payment to purchase shares.
Adding shareholders to a closely-held company comes with the risk of a disagreement among owners at the most crucial times in the life of a company. Shareholders have the right to dissent against mergers. Shareholders may exercise inspection rights and force privately-owned businesses to produce all their accounting records—all the way down to invoices and canceled checks.
Shareholders owning one third or more of a company's stock have the right to petition a court for the involuntary dissolution of the corporation. State courts are well-suited for trying slip-and-fall cases—not for battles over corporate management and control. During times of great opportunity or immense hardship, additional shareholders can cause trouble.
In general terms, phantom stock is a compensation plan that confers the right to receive cash at a future point in time, typically a share of the proceeds received upon the sale of a company. The amount of cash is linked to the value of the company's stock or the appreciation in the value of the stock after the date of the phantom stock award. Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) are close cousins of phantom stock.
When a business is sold, the phantom stockholder might receive an amount equal to the cash the recipient would receive if he or she owned the same percentage of the corporation's stock (or the appreciation in value of an equivalent amount of stock). Some plans also include participation in dividends paid to shareholders.
Phantom stock is like a cash bonus deferred until the future, but typically much bigger than an annual bonus. The award is usually contingent upon the phantom stockholder's continued employment with the company, i.e. retention of key management.
Phantom stock plans must comply with tax provisions designed to ensure that insolvent companies don't pay bonuses while leaving creditors and shareholders unpaid. Phantom stock plans usually provide for vesting of benefits so as to avoid the complex and broad rules found in Internal Revenue Code section 409A. Section 409A governs a variety of deferred compensation plans and sets restrictions with regard to payment and timing.
Phantom stock should be non-taxable until the cash is paid, generating ordinary income for the employee and a deduction for the company.
Plans that are limited to only key employees should be free from the burdens of ERISA rules governing participation, vesting, funding and fiduciary responsibilities.
Implementing a phantom stock plan should cost less in legal and accounting fees than a formal stock option plan but more than simply selling stock to an employee.
Even when simply selling stock, a sole shareholder must then revisit all aspects of corporate governance, usually expanding the size of the board of directors and implementing vesting provisions or a buy-sell agreement. If the new "business partner" ever initiates litigation using his or her rights as a shareholder, the costs of such dispute might run in the hundreds of thousands, potentially costing all the wealth an entrepreneur has accumulated and threatening the life of the business.
Phantom stock is a way to share a stake in a business while avoiding the need for the new "owner" to invest cash or suffer taxable income. Most importantly, phantom stock avoids the risks inherent in having additional shareholders.
A key member of management will savor having an economic stake in the company, but may have little concern for the legal rights inherent in being a shareholder. The moment a minority shareholder becomes interested in a closely-held company's corporate governance, the original entrepreneur should take notice.

ISIS claims train attack in Germany. Why shouldn't we change tack?
EDITOR: Vanessa Ellingham
The first attack in Germany to be claimed by ISIS took place on Monday night when a teenage boy stabbed passengers on a train in southern Germany. Thankfully there have been no casualties, but three people remain in a critical condition.
But whether ISIS was really involved in the attack, whether the boy was really from Afghanistan, whether he was a refugee: all these things are yet to be confirmed.
Of course that doesn't stop the media and the public from jumping ahead. All these possibilities together paint a convenient picture for those wanting to restrict immigration and drum up fear. The same aspects are what stoke ISIS's flames.
In a country which had, until now, escaped the terror meted out to its neighbours by ISIS, there may have been a self-assuredness that Germany was not a target due to the way it treats refugees or Muslim residents, or for its relatively passive role in the fight against the Islamic State. That it might have escaped targeting by showing it couldn't be drawn in to war rhetoric.
Even when the attacker's identity is confirmed, and whether we discover he had refugee status, whether he was from Afghanistan or Pakistan and whether he was really involved in ISIS or acting as a lone wolf, Germany cannot afford to veer off its course.
Descending into war talk, stopping asylum seekers, and buying into rhetoric that resents refugees and those who are different is never going to be the way to stop ISIS.
Keep security tight, of course. But also hold true to those values of inclusion, solidarity and understanding. This is exactly what ISIS doesn't want.

You will find out which nation is the best choice for your first games and which should be avoided. In this guide you will also find information about economy, war diplomacy and many other aspects of this complex game.
What do I need to know about Imperator: Rome?
Which nation to choose for the first game?
Imperator: Rome enables you to manage an ancient state in Europe, North Africa and Asia. The gameplay is very similar to many other titles from Paradox studio, such as Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings or Stellaris. Each nation has numerous stats, residents and characters that have can influence foreign and internal policy. What's more, each army is commanded by a character who has a loyalty factor and can betray you and start fighting against your troops. It is necessary to develop technologies, cities and provinces as well as traditions unique to a given cultural group.
If you have played other games develop by Paradox, their so-called Grand Strategies, you will notice a lot of similar elements and minor differences.
Crusader Kings had an extensive character system. A similar system exists in Imperator: Rome, but is not as crucial as in CK. You can assign characters as commanders or diplomats, but you don't manage a family. Death of a character is not as painful as in CK and does not announce an imminent end of the game.
Hearts of Iron introduced a system of units and more detailed battles when compared to other titles. Imperator: Rome has more military units than EU, but not as much as HoI. The differences between units, as well as battle mechanics and tactics system place Imperator: Rome somewhere between the two.
Victoria and Stellaris - both titles had an extensive population system. Imperator: Rome has a similar division. There are 4 classes of residents here, which is a much limited number than in Victoria, but the residents are often called pops like in Stellaris. Each city has a specific number of pops that can be promoted to another class or moved to other regions.
Imperator: Rome has the most detailed map division model, including the smallest territorial units, e.g. cities (and not provinces as in the previous part). A group of cities forms provinces, and these in turn form regions. All this is to enable a more detailed view of the world and to facilitate cultural division and the creation of new national borders.
It's best to choose the eponymous Rome. While it's not the strongest state early in the game, it has the potential to become the greatest power. It's located in a good geographical and geopolitical position. You have small, quarrelsome neighbors, but you have to take care of the economy and increase your military power.
Rome is one of the most interesting choice. It's a republic, so you will have to deal with the political plays of your power-hungry senators and be wary of the loyalty of your generals. An unsatisfied general can declare independence, and the more legions he has under his command, the worse for the Republic. Especially if his name is Julius.
Another interesting choice is either Carthage or Egypt. Both countries have large territories, and strong economies. Carthage is a power at sea and can decide about everything that happens in the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt has the most fertile lands in the game and the most populated regions. Thanks to this, gold from trade and taxes flows into your treasury like a river. With the appropriate funding you are able not only to efficiently lead your country, but also wage wars and conquer new territories without any problems.
Imperator: Rome has a number of map modes that will make your life easier and help you rule the country.
Map modes will enable you to achieve better control of situation in your state, monitor the status of economy, unrests in the provinces and relations between your neighbors.
Geographical. It will enable you to quickly preview the areas you want to conquer. One glance, and you'll be able to see where are the deserts, forests or hills are and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Political. This is the mode in which you will spend most of the time. All cities and provinces will be marked with a color unique to the nation and the name of the country. This way you can easily see who own the territories.
Diplomatic. This mode will enable you to see what relations you have with other countries and what may connect your neighbors with your enemies or friends. This information is valuable and enables you to plan your foreign policy and future conquests.
Religious. In Imperator: Rome there are many different religions that affect the stability of the state and individual regions.
This is upcoming Game Guide and Walkthrough for Imperator: Rome Video Game.
We are working on it now. We want to publish this Game Guide close to Imperator: Rome Release Date.
Imperator: Rome is a strategy game, in which you lead an ancient nation. It was developed by Paradox Developments, known for such productions as Crusader Kings II, Hearts of Iron IV, Stellaris, and Europa Universalis IV.
The spatial and temporal setting of the game is wider than the title might suggest. The gameplay starts during the golden age of Athens. Imperator: Rome features an enormous map, stretching from the Pillars of Hercules (the ancient same of the Rock Gibraltar) to India. You can conquer every nation visible on the map.
Imperator: Rome builds on ideas from other games of the studio. It's a large scale strategy game, focusing on managing your nation instead of managing your troops in battle. Mechanics-wise, it's similar to other Paradox games, such as Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis IV, and Hearts of Iron IV, and it utilizes an upgraded version of the engine those games used as well.
The mechanics are very expansive, and your range of duties is quite wide: you have to manage the domestic and international politics, economy, scientific research, and social structure, as well as military operations.

My husband North first became obsessed in December of 2005. He was spending Christmas with me at my parent's home in Tallahassee for the first time. While the visit itself held lots of good memories, it was his first bite of the world's best rum cake that seems to stand out most vividly in his mind.
The world's best rum cake, unassumingly wrapped in aluminum foil, has been given to my parents as a Christmas gift for years now. In a move which is not surprising , considering the history of this type of deceit in my father's family (see my post on Granny Ivey's Strawberry Roll for details), as children we were never told how delicious this cake was. In ignorance, we nibbled on sugar cookies while my father slowly savored the rum cake by himself.
During North's first Christmas visit, in what was truly a generous move on my father's part, he offered a piece of the rum cake to North. I can only imagine his dismay when he saw that North coveted the rum cake just as much as he did. North flew out on an early flight that year and when my mother cut him a piece of rum cake for his flight, my father grumpily asked that she cut North's piece a little smaller. He was not used to sharing.
Since that first Christmas, North eagerly awaits the Christmas rum cake and I too have developed a love for it. At home, I've tried to replicate the recipe although with less than desirous results. The first rum cake I made was so boozy that it served as an after dinner drink and dessert in one.
You might be wondering why I don't just ask for the recipe. There are two reasons. First, I would be so disappointed if she told me no. Second, if I made the world's best rum cake, I wouldn't give out the recipe either. I know…a little hypocritical on my part. But honestly, I would prefer to happily hold on to the secret while the recipients of my baking prowess did their best to stay in my good graces for fear of losing their annual Christmas gift. Yes, this would be power.
While I haven't replicated the cake yet, I did come up with this recipe which is pretty darn good, if not the best in the world. In what was obviously a slip, I learned that the maker of the worlds' best rum cake used yellow cake mix in her recipe. The brand of cake mix remains a secret, but the tip has at least allowed me to narrow down the recipes that I have attempted. In doing so, I've found that instant pudding mix is another secret. Before you scoff at the use of not one, but two boxed mixes, give this cake a try. It's extremely moist, also elegant, and won't last long. In the meantime, I'll keep on searching for that holy grail of rum cake recipes.
While certainly not the world's best rum cake, this recipe is the closest I've come to recreating it. Do you have your own rum cake recipe? As I continue my search, I would love to see it.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10" bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cake mix and the instant vanilla pudding mix. Add the eggs, cold water, vegetable oil, and dark rum. Stir the mixture until smooth (you will really have to use your arm muscles to get out all the lumps).
Scatter the chopped pecans evenly on the bottom of the greased bundt pan and then pour the batter over the pecans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick, when inserted into the cake, comes out clean. During cooking, the cake may rise above the bundt pan. If this happens, when you take it out of the oven allow it to cool slightly before gently pressing the cake down.
Cool the cake completely before adding the glaze.
For the glaze, melt the butter in a saucepan. Mix in the water and sugar and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. The mixture may start to bubble over so watch it carefully. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rum.
Invert the cake (so the pecans are on the top) on to a serving plate. Using a toothpick stick holes into the cake then drizzle the glaze over the top a little at a time. Let the glaze soak in before adding more glaze.
I work as an RN with your Dad and made your cake the other day to bring in to work. He thought it was definitely the best rum cake ever! But you are right about him not wanting to share and being grumpy when others wanted a piece. I guess i'll have to make him his own next time. P.S. The entire staff LOVED this cake cake.
I'm so glad you not only made, but also liked the cake. As for sharing it with my father, you are a brave woman. He's a different man around rum cakes!
I made your rum cake last night for Derrell and he LOVED it 🙂 I left it as a surprise at his place, but I can't wait to try it myself tonight! Thanks for posting such fun recipes!
Great to hear from you and I'm delighted that the rum cake was a hit! It is pretty darn good!
I presume the "other" famous cake you refer to is Barbara Storey's? I had one, it's really good — but very different from what I've ever had (it's the mushy, soaked type). Tortuga is in fact a cake mix that is doctored, along with a lot of BS marketing about some old family recipe.
Another key ingredient I think you might be missing is that most of these cakes use artificial rum flavoring in the mix to accent the taste.
The recipe above is about the same that's on the back of the McCormick "Rum Flavoring" box. I tried it, it is nice… close. But I'm still feeling (tasting) something missing.
Once I get a really good, reliable recipe, I'm going to try adding cocoa, banana, etc., to see what variations I can make.
Glazing is a process. If you put on too much, it's mushy, if you don't thicken the glaze enough, it's mushy. Too much booze and, as you've found, too boozy.
I would certainly ask my mother for the recipe if she knew it, but she doesn't. It was always given to my family as a Christmas gift growing up. I suppose I could seek out the giver of the gift and beg for the recipe, but I respect secret recipes and like the challenge of figuring it out for myself. The rum extract is an interesting idea – I'm in favor of the real deal, but it's a nice option particularly when the booze becomes a little overpowering. Thanks for reading!
I'm trying this for a after dinner Christmas Day treat. I'll let you know how it turns out. Your pictures made my mouth water. I used to live by a little old lady who would make rum cakes every so often and then share the moist, rummy goodness with me. I never thought to ask her for the recipe. Doh!
Know what you think! Happy cooking.
This rum cake was a total hit yesterday! So moist and not too boozy. Thanks for the recipe. It is an absolute keeper in my book!!
Sooooo, the question is…what does your Dad think about this recipe?
Great question! He has the original nearby so I have actually never made this wannabe version for him. I think that needs to happen though – I am sure he won't mind!

Q: Twilio - Emergency calls for other country than available ones Twilio has available countries for which emergency calls can be made and their respective numbers (like 991 or 112).
I'm wondering if there is a possibility to call emergency services for other countries and their emergency numbers using Twilio calls.
To me, it seems that you can not, since it is limited to the available countries for this feature in Twilio, but the problem is I cannot find any confirmation for that.

Computer-based interactions increasingly pervade our everyday environments. Be it on a mobile device, a wearable device, a wall-sized display, or an augmented reality device, interactive systems often rely on the consumption, composition, and manipulation of text. The focus of this workshop is on exploring the problems and opportunities of text interactions that are embedded in our environments, available all the time, and used by people who may be constrained by device, situation, or disability. This workshop welcomes all researchers interested in interactive systems that rely on text input or output. Participants should submit a short position statement outlining their background, past work, future plans, and suggesting a use-case they would like to explore in-depth during the workshop. During the workshop, small teams will form around common or compelling use cases. Teams will spend time brainstorming, creating low-fidelity prototypes, and discussing their use-case with the group. Participants may optionally submit a technical paper for presentation as part of the workshop program. The workshop serves to sustain and build the community of text entry researchers who attend CHI. It provides an opportunity for new members to join this community, soliciting feedback from experts in a small and supportive environment.

Trailokya Trilogy, A Land of Wolves and Lions
May 22, 2015 By Captain Maiel 1 Comment
Atka, Arctic Wolf, Wolf Ambassador NY Wolf Conservation Center
Trailokya Trilogy, Book One: the Shadow Soul features a lot of recognizable themes, myths both ancient and current and introduces its audience to a mind blowing way of reimagining them all. To the delight of many, it also includes the theme of animals as contributing members of society, powerful beings with their own autonomy and paths to pursue. In the middle of this, every atman (soul/being) selects another being with which to walk that path. In fact, they choose several soulmates. And, so the journey goes for centuries as each reaches toward higher experiences.
The most prominent of animals, or souls as the book calls them, are canines, more specifically, Canis Lupus—the wolf. Captain Maiel, the central figure of the narrative, is almost always accompanied by her cohort of wolves. The pack is led by Argus, the Arctic wolf, and his gleaming coat of white fur (they come in white, gray and black, the last being an indication of mating with domestic dogs). At his side is his mate, a black coated female from the wilds of Elysion, Zion, named Shee. The pack is filled in by various grays and their first litter of pups.
The other prominent animal is the Mountain Lion. Not only is Captain Maiel what her world terms a guardian, but her make-up is part muse, a sort of ethnicity that allows her to alternate forms between her native duta (what we call angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic practices) appearance and that of a North American Lion of Earth. The captain is also a twin, and her brother Joel carries the same abilities. These abilities are almost always expressed in an effort to quell anger, but more importantly as a defense.
Why wolves and cougars? We humans have developed an understanding of the animal world, in respect to our culture. Wolves and cougars are viewed as warriors–hunters and tough as nails, fierce beings. However, the characters of the trilogy regard all animals as citizens of their world, with autonomy and inherent worth beyond the power they can augment into our beings through belief based ritual. They're integral in the success of each concerned, as equals. Instead of a dangerous predator – wolves and lions are seen as souls filling an important niche and contributing to the success of the entire world and the others lives living in it. This is a theme that humanity still struggles with, caught between latent memories of the forest and the modern era. Fear still separates us from proper stewardship of our fellow travelers.
Wolf ambassador Atka from NY Wolf Conservation Center spends a great deal of his time teaching modern humans about the benefit and reality of wolves in the ecosystem and their communities. The wolf is essential, is the message. However, in much of the United States and the rest of North and Central America, the wolf is still dwindling in population—a victim of old world thinking and fears. Many conservation efforts face and uphill battle erasing what is 'known' in common culture about predators.
Petitions against wolf hunting in the Western United States:
Wolf Killers for Hire
Idaho Has Gone Too Far "Idaho is paying this federal agency $225,000 to help decimate the state's wolf population. Demand that Wildlife Services stand down!"
MoveOn Petitions – Protect America's Wolves! – MoveOn.org
Howling For Wolves: Stop the Hunt.
Watch this National Geographic video on studying the Mountain Lions of California, for a lighthearted look at the job.
Likewise the Mountain Lion, and all of her incarnations over the States and Canada, is being hunted and their populations decimated out of fear for what they will do to those encroaching on their territory – because it's more important for people to be able to jog in the mountains than allow nature her course, or build and develop on top of their hunting grounds. For example, the Florida Panther is on the verge of extinction, every now and again coming back from that edge, but never to the numbers the animal enjoyed in days before European settlements, which pushed out the native human population who had lived in harmony with them.
Jamie Dutcher (pictured) and her husband Jim, spent year living with wolves. This gives you an idea of their size.
Many organizations work worldwide to ensure a future for these animals, echoing the themes of cooperation in Trailokya and showing humanity a better and more sustainable way of existing together. The reality is, these animals are essential to our well-being more than we can ever understand. This video that went viral on Facebook attempts to explain the need for wolves, despite arguments against them, as dangerous menaces to human life. I have enjoyed donating some of my earnings to the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem New York (Atka's home) for the past year. The strides they make in teaching about these essential predators are remarkable. Understanding is the key to any great predator's survival. I also donate to the Mountain Lion Foundation in California, USA.
Whether culling is the answer or not, and I agree that there should be culls done by the forestry service and not average hunters jacked up on power trips—but only when absolutely necessary for the animals' health. Education about these animals and cooperation with them is necessary for everyone's survival. If we are going to cull them, then the resultant corpses should be used in the best way possible: food, clothing, and religious pieces for those adhering to that Medicine – there are artisans/crafters in the Americas, who produce such work with respect to these animals in the traditions of their ancestors. I am blessed to have one of their cougar pieces, not for the fun of having such a piece, but in respect to North American Indigenous Traditions and teaching–I do not condone buying such products outside of a real need.I want one isn't enough justification. When people create a market for animals parts, the animals will be wholesale slaughtered, so it is best to make them few and only as religious icons, teaching tools and museum pieces.
It is my hope that The Trailokya Trilogy will instill readers with a sense of respect and cooperation with their fellow souls.

What are the 4 factors that work together for natural selection to take place?
Four (4) conditions for natural selection. Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
Considering this, what are the four factors that affect natural selection?
Darwin also named some factors that affect the process of natural selection. Among these were overproduction, competition, and variations. Overproduction happens when species reproduce many more offspring than can possibly survive.
What are the four aspects of natural selection?
Darwin's process of natural selection has four components.
Variation. Organisms (within populations) exhibit individual variation in appearance and behavior.
Inheritance. Some traits are consistently passed on from parent to offspring.
High rate of population growth.
Differential survival and reproduction.
What are the factors that influence natural selection?
Genetic diversity within a species, the degree of genetic expression, and the ability of most species to reproduce excess offspring all exert an influence on the process of natural selection. Therefore, it is important to identify the processes that generate genetic diversity within a population.
What is the main cause of natural selection?
Four general conditions necessary for natural selection to occur are: A. More organisms are born than can survive. B. Organisms vary in their characteristics, even within a species. D. Differences in reproduction and survival are due to variation among organisms.
What are the five factors that lead to evolution?
Five different forces have influenced human evolution: natural selection, random genetic drift, mutation, population mating structure, and culture.
What drives the natural selection?
This is natural selection. Individuals that are better suited to their environments are more likely to survive and to reproduce, thus passing on their strong genetic traits to a new generation. Their offspring eventually pass along those traits too. Natural selection is caused by competition.
What is the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Natural Selection vs. Selective Breeding. Natural selection and selective breeding can both produce changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection occurs in nature, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene.
What does natural selection directly act on?
The interactions between individuals and their environment is what determines whether their genetic information will be passed on or not. This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup.
What is natural selection and how does it lead to evolution?
Natural selection leads to evolutionary change when individuals with certain characteristics have a greater survival or reproductive rate than other individuals in a population and pass on these inheritable genetic characteristics to their offspring.
Is genetic variation a factor of natural selection?
Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.
How is the process of natural selection related to evolution?
Natural selection is the process through which this change occurs. It is the driving force of evolution. All organisms are born with small variation (mutations). But nature selects which ones get to reproduce (mainly by killing all the others).
How does DNA and genetics play a role in evolution?
An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.
What is the result of natural selection?
The process by which organisms that are better suited to their environment than others produce more offspring. As a result of natural selection, the proportion of organisms in a species with characteristics that are adaptive to a given environment increases with each generation.
Is natural selection survival of the fittest?
"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success.
What are the two main sources of heritable variation in a population?
What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population? The 2 main sources of genetic variation are mutations and genetic shuffling that results from sexual reproduction. In genetic terms, evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population.
How does natural selection variation affect evolution?
Lamarck said that structures that are used develop and are passed on to offspring, whereas structures that are not used are not passed on. Natural variation provides the raw material for natural selection, which, in turn, leads to evolution.
How natural selection could affect the environment?
Neutral mutations are usually insignificant because they do not influence an organism's survival in any way. Harmful or beneficial mutations do influence an organism's survival. This is where natural selection comes into play. This is how organisms evolve and adapt to changing environmental conditions over time.
What are the factors that drive evolution?
Forces that drive evolution
Natural selection. Natural selection refers to the deterministic change in allele frequency due to a differential in fitness among different genotypes.
Genetic Drift. Genetic Drift refers to the stochastic sampling process of individuals.
Mutations.
Gene flow (aka.
What are the four conditions for natural selection?
What is the principle of the common descent?
Common descent describes how, in evolutionary biology, a group of organisms share a most recent common ancestor. There is "massive" evidence of common descent of all life on Earth from the last universal common ancestor (LUCA).
What are the four factors that lead to natural selection?
Natural selection occurs if four conditions are met: reproduction, heredity, variation in physical characteristics and variation in number of offspring per individual.
Reproduction.
Heredity.
Variation in Characteristics.
Variation in Fitness.
What are the factors that affect natural selection?
What are the 4 factors of production and give an example of each?
What are the 4 levels of organization in living things?
What is transitive in psychology?
What is MDF and NDF?

The Gallery Bistro in Port Moody is hosting "Making a Scene": A group exhibition of Emily Carr University graduates with ties to Port Moody.
The show features the work of Gayle Arnold, Jennifer Chernecki, Emily Boulton and Mattthew Knockaert .
VCON is Vancouver's premiere science fiction, fantasy and games convention- this year's in October, will be the 39th annual. We're excited to be hosting this exhibition to provide a sneak peek of some of the art that will will be showcased at the convention.
There will be a good cross-section of work types in the show, Carolyn Bruce's steampunk and even more out-there jewelry , Kevin Chase's sort of fractal CG works and Nancie Green's photo-manipulated works to say nothing of the exquisite pencil and watercolours of Melissa Duncan. Apis Teicher is a Port Coquitlam artist. Avis has been nominated for a 2014 Aurora Award (from the Canadian Science Fiction & Fantasy Association).
The line-up of artists includes : Apis Teicher, Nancie Green , Melissa Duncan, Kevin Chase, Rebecca Tsang, Natorra Ferguson, Carolyn Bruce, and Lynne Fahnestalk.
Celebrating the talented people in our City of the Arts, the Inlet Artists work together to inspire, create and share their diverse works.
The Inlet Artists' "Hands that Shape our Community" exhibit is a pictorial study of Port Moody area artists at work, captured by local photographers Tracy Riddell, Gerry Moss, Gaetan Royer, Rainer Daniels and Markus Fahrner.
The collaborative project seeks to highlight the way in which these artists use their hands, emphasising the process of their creation. The spirit and passion of potters, painters, sculptors, illustrators, typographers and musicians are brought to light in their raw form.
This first 'exposure' of their work will surely spark many more creative explorations. When artists inspire other artists, beautiful things happen.
Worn, weathered surfaces and objects are interpreted and transformed from mundane to sublime by artist Kelly Selden. Photographs printed on aluminum illuminate subjects that normally go unnoticed now stir the viewer's imagination.


Too often, people assume that their pets will be adopted by a family member or a friend without ever discussing it. This can lead to uncomfortable situations where families argue over an unwanted animal and the costs associated with it.
It doesn't have to be that way. If possible, identify the person you want to care for any pets and include the designation in your estate plan. Make sure you name the person, and if possible, cover some of the expenses for caring for the animal.
You can also set up a trust for your animal if you're worried the cost of caring for them is going to be too expensive.
Not many people realize how important our digital possessions have become. Families are often stuck trying to piece together how to manage a person's digital assets, without having a clear idea of what is even available to them.
Occasionally, sentimental valuables like pictures are inaccessible because they cannot get into a personal computer or online account.
When creating an estate plan, have a directive for what happens with your online profiles. Keep your important passwords in one place, like a safety deposit box or a safe. Designate what you want to be done with your online presence.
Don't leave your family to figure it out for themselves.
One of the most practical issues is also frequently glossed over. You should define what you want at your funeral. Many times, people have a vision for what they want their remembrance to be but never take the time to write it out.
Families want to honor the wishes of their loved ones. This is made much easier by having a funeral or celebration of life directive.
A conclusive plan gives everyone peace of mind. You know you've taken care of your family and loved ones, and they know how to best honor you after passing.
To start the process, or if you have any questions, a skilled estate planning attorney can be a valuable resource.

Interfacing Lua and Ruby with C
3:30 PM Sunday
Town Square C
Gnu/Linux,
Scripting languages are popular today because of it's reasonable learning curve and speed of development. But there are programming problems where scripting languages can not be used. Examples include talking directly to specific OS system calls not exposed to the scripting language (like raw sockets on Linux), or communicating with peripheral hardware devices. Such system interfaces are often written in C. But how do we use them from scripting languages? We can write interfaces from scripting languages like Ruby or Lua to C libraries. In this session, we will look at writing interfaces from Lua to C library. We will also look at writing code from Ruby on Rails to use C library. You will not need to be experts of either language but some programming experience is presumed.
A survey of mechanisms available to call native libraries or system level code from higher level application.

It had always been my dream to go to Japan and I was so overwhelmed when I was accepted as the only candidate from Brunei who was given the opportunity by the Japanese Government to further my studies for Master's Course in Japan. Honestly, Saitama University became my first choice because of its large community of Muslim. Also, even though during my Bachelor's Degree my major was Mathematics, I had a strong interest in Environmental Science and my laboratory gave me the chance to pursue research in that field. Doing Master's Course in a field different from my background was difficult and there were so many obstacles to overcome throughout the research as I was required to have programming skills as well. However, with a lot of patience and prayers, hard work, and motivation from friends and family, I managed to excel and surpass those tough times. Studying in Japan might be strict but it certainly benefitted and shaped me up to become a better researcher. Handling different kinds of tasks, discussions with Japanese companies, catching up with deadlines, countless presentations etc. helped me to develop various skills and prepare myself for working life. Japan has numerous research techniques for forest management which will be a useful application in Brunei because 70% of its land area is covered by forest. I wish to contribute to the improvement of my country by conducting more research using feasible techniques similar to what I had done in my research at Saitama University.

Duo explain how Edinburgh made O's winners again

Jobi McAnuff has discussed the way Leyton Orient head coach Justin Edinburgh drilled into the squad from day one what it takes to become winners.
While O's are basking in the sun after a glorious season where they were crowned winners of the National League, there were dark clouds back in November 2017.
Although optimism had been rife after Nigel Travis and Kent Teague had taken ownership of the club, on the pitch things were going badly wrong again.
Orient were starting to face up to the prospect of back-to-back relegations, but in Edinburgh's first home game in charge they thrashed Sutton United 4-1 and never really looked back.
McAnuff, who was given the captain's armband last summer, said: "When the gaffer came in, we were not in a great position, but he made it clear from the outset we had to find a way to win.
"I think in the early days it was not at any cost and we kind of had an acceptance that if we had played okay, then defeat wasn't the worst thing.
"Whereas when the gaffer came in, straight away he was like 'that's not acceptable, we've got to find a way to win games' and we've built on that.
"We've improved and grown and that culminated in what has been a brilliant season."
Edinburgh's impact is almost immeasurable. He took over when the club were one place above the relegation zone and led them to a respectable 13th-placed finish.
Orient also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy, but blew a healthy lead over Gateshead and missed out on the last four.
Given the challenges O's had to face during that debut campaign in non-league football, many were expecting a plethora of changes last summer.
But the head coach had spotted something in the group and made minimal additions and instead backed the squad put together by director of football Martin Ling.
It would prove inspirational and so was the decision to hand the captaincy to McAnuff, who had unfinished business in E10.
Joe Widdowson is one of several to flourish under the head coach and although Orient couldn't end the season with a Wembley win in the FA Trophy final, this is a campaign no one will forget in a hurry.
He said: "One of the many things that the gaffer has instilled since he's come in is that winning mentality.
"Our number of defeats this season is pretty low, so we're not used to losing and it hurts when we lose, especially in a final.
"It's disappointing, but we won the league, which was our main objective and we have to say that it's been a very good season for us."
Edinburgh has been faced with many choices at Brisbane Road and time and time again he has got it right and the O's supporters will forever be indebted to him.
After relegation, everyone was told it was a challenging, long and horrible journey back to League Two.
The National League resembles a graveyard for Football League clubs, but not for Orient anymore thanks to Edinburgh and Co.


Horace's version (56) of the town mouse and the country mouse is currently the oldest variant in this collection. It's also one of the most influential, as I discuss in greater detail here. This 19th century variant of the fable, told almost 2,000 years later, actually has the town and country mouse living in different sections of Horace's Rome. The country mouse lives on Horace's farm and the Town mouse lives in the mansion of Maecenas, the prime minister of the Roman emperor Octavian.
This version is quite long and includes extended descriptive passages of both locations, describing Horace's residence as "a pretty white house with green window-shutters" and Maecenas' residence as having "walls...adorned with looking-glasses and guilding; and immense chandeliers of silver." The "town foods" mentioned in this variant are also interesting: Pineapples and Ice Cream, two foods which the Romans did not have, but which would have been delicacies of a sort in 19th century England.
All in all, this variant provides an interesting look at how the 19th century C.E. saw the last century B.C.E.

How Social Media Saved Lives in Hurricane Harvey
The nightmarish images from Houston of collapsed homes and streets that have turned into rivers are eerily reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina from 2005. During Katrina, phone calls to 911 and other emergency numbers was the primary way that victims found help. While this is still the case, victims have another tool at their disposal: social media. In 2005, Twitter did not exist and access to Facebook was limited to desktops. The iPhone didn't come out until 2007. More than a decade after Katrina, social media is now a part of most American's daily lives, and imperiled victims of Hurricane Harvey have been using it as a cry for help. Desperate messages with home addresses and pleas for help have pervaded the Twitter feeds of users in the Houston area.
According to The Washington Post, on Sunday morning, Maritza Willis tweeted "I have 2 children with me and the water is swallowing us up…911 is not responding!!!!!!" She also included her address and a little over an hour later, she had been saved by emergency workers.
In a follow-up tweet, Willis wrote: "The children and I are safe. Thank you everyone and thank you Facebook!!!!!! [she had also posted to Facebook] The miracles of social media. Forever grateful!!!"
Willis's tweet for help was re-tweeted more than 1,000 times. To point out the obvious, social media is helpful in circulating messages because a single message can be spread to a wide audience as it gets passed on many times over. In a rescue effort like this, success requires people who are not in distress to facilitate help for others. Among those passing along messages has been the Houston Rockets basketball player, Clint Capela. Capela promised his more than 27,000 Twitter followers that he would share their emergency situations on his Twitter feed. His feed has turned into a stream of desperation and hope, where stranded victims are posting their addresses, trying to connect with people who can save them by boat.
Another example of technology saving lives in this natural disaster was on Monday when a woman stuck on a roof with dozens of others appeared on "Good Morning America" via FaceTime, begging for help. The show's producers contacted the National Guard and reported a few hours later that a Coast Guard helicopter was on its way to rescue the group.
According to ABC News, some local Houston-area officials and law enforcement have engaged with hurricane victims on Twitter, answering questions and offering assistance. They have also used their Twitter accounts to distribute information. Via Twitter, the Harris County Sheriff's Office advised people awaiting rescue on Monday to hang a sheet or towel somewhere visible so that officers can find them.
Yet the Coast Guard instructed those waiting to be rescued not to use social media as a replacement for calling. On Monday, the Coast Guard's Twitter account read:
"To report a #harvey emergency you must call numbers below or 911 for assistance. If busy keep trying. Do not report distress on social media."
But when phone battery power is diminishing and 911 calls are going unanswered, social media is offering hope for victims that someone might see the plea and be able to get through to rescue workers.
Timothy McIntosh gives credit to a photo he tweeted on Sunday for getting the National Guard to rescue patients in danger in his family's nursing home. The photo – which showed elderly women sitting waist-deep in water – was shared on Twitter almost 5,000 times. The National Guard learned of their situation and the patients were rescued by helicopter.
In addition to helping with immediate, life-saving rescues, social media is also helping to raise funds for the rescue effort. On Sunday, J.J. Watt, a famous American NFL defensive end for the Houston Texans, asked his 3.9 million Twitter followers to help raise $500,000 for the rescue effort. By Monday night, $800,000 had been donated via the crowd funding site, YouCaring.com. Late Monday night, Watt raised the new goal to $1.5 million. The YouCaring.com was not working Monday night, likely because the site was not prepared for the volume of visitors seeking to donate to the rescue and relief effort.
"Incredible to witness people coming together for the greater good of humanity," Watt wrote in a tweet on Monday.

We should bring latest technologies to protect rescuers from risking their own lives to save others. We have greatest cutting-edge technologies like AI, IoT, Blockchain, Cloud computing and drones to save lives. I did a power point presentation to show how to use these technologies to rescue humans during a hurricane disaster without risking the lives of rescuers. Please take a look. It is very interesting to see how these technologies work together to save lives.
