Jew of the Week: Fernando de Noronha
Founder of Brazil
Fernão de Loronha (c. 1470-1540) was born in Lisbon, Portugal to a Sephardic Jewish family that had been forcibly converted to Christianity by the Inquisition. Like many such families, they continued to practice Judaism in secret. Loronha became a wealthy merchant, and also worked for the German Augsburg banking family. He was knighted by King Manuel I of Portugal (and for this reason, was often associated with the Noronha nobility, being incorrectly referred to as "Fernando de Noronha".) In 1501, he financed a Portuguese expedition to explore the newly-discovered lands of South America, then called Vera Cruz. Scholars believe his primary motivation was finding a new home for persecuted Jews, where they could finally live free of the Inquisition. Some say Loronha captained the expedition himself, and we know for sure that on board was Amerigo Vespucci (after whom "America" is named). At the time, Europeans imported expensive red dyes made from brazilwood from India. Loronha came back to Portugal in 1502 describing the abundant brazilwood in the new lands and the opportunity for great riches. King Manuel gave him an exclusive ten-year charter for all the commercial rights to brazilwood in Vera Cruz. In exchange, Loronha had to send at least six ships per year on behalf of Portugal, build a fort for the Portuguese military, explore new coasts, and pay the crown 4000 ducats per year. His first six-ship fleet set forth the following year, establishing the first brazilwood factories in the New World. Soon, vast amounts of the precious dye were being imported to Europe, making it the continent's second most valuable commodity (after gold). The fleet also discovered a new group of islands, which Vespucci named São Lourenço, or São João. Shortly after, a grateful King Manuel gave the islands as a gift to Loronha and his descendants, and made him the first official donatario ("administrator") in South America. Today, the idyllic islands are still referred to as "Fernando de Noronha" in his honour. Unlike many other colonists, Loronha did not employ slaves, and obtained all the brazilwood through trade with local natives. Most interestingly, it was Loronha who was responsible for renaming the new land to "Brazil" instead of its original name, Vera Cruz. Still a Jew at heart (and soul), Loronha did not want to use the Christian term Vera Cruz (meaning "True Cross"), so he would always refer to it in all of his business dealings as "Brazil" instead. The new name stuck. Similarly, he renamed his main ship from São Cristóvão ("Saint Christopher") to A Judia ("The Jewess"). In 1506, his crew on that ship discovered a set of islands in Mozambique, named Bassas da Judia. Today, the name has been corrupted to "Bassas da India".
Given the history of the attacks on Israel and the oppressiveness and aggressiveness of other countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, boycotting Israel indicates a moral blindness for which it is hard to find any explanation other than antisemitism.

Jew of the Week: Henriques Dias Milao-Caceres
Sean Paul at the Western Wall
Henriques Dias Milao-Caceres (1528-1609) was born in Portugal to a Sephardic Jewish family that was exiled from Spain during the 1492 expulsion. The family had refused to convert to Christianity and fled to Portugal in the hopes of being able to practice their religion. Unfortunately, the Portuguese soon forced them to convert as well. Nonetheless, the majority of these forced converts continue to practice Judaism in secret. Henriques Dias was among them, and succeeded in amassing a large fortune through his booming businesses in Lisbon. Towards the end of his life, he was arrested on false charges, and sentenced to death by the Inquisition. He was burned at the stake at age 82, together with two other members of his family. The rest of the family was forced to watch the execution, and subsequently adopted "Henriques" as a surname in his honour. The family grew tremendously and separated into various branches, including a British, Danish, Swedish, and German branch. A large part of the British branch ultimately settled in Jamaica, where they were free to practice their religion once more, and became one of the wealthiest and most influential Sephardic Jewish families on the Caribbean island. (It should be noted that the family has also drawn some heavy criticism for once being involved in slave-holding.) Among the patrons of this family was Ronnie Henriques, who enlisted in the British Army during World War II to fight the Nazis. He went missing in action until later being freed from a Nazi prison camp, and returning to Jamaica. His grandson is Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques, better known as reggae pop star Sean Paul (who was raised Catholic, but is proud of his Jewish heritage). Other notable members of the Henriques family include Moses (Cohen) Henriques, a real 'Pirate of the Caribbean' who had his own pirate island off the coast of Brazil, as well as British-Jewish philanthropist and author Sir Basil Henriques, and famous Danish composer Valdemar Fini Henriques.

Andrew Hill - Point Of Departure
Product Code: 33BST-4167
Point Of Departure is not only one of the greatest jazz recordings of 1964, but of all time. The stellar lineup (Eric Dolphy, Kenny Dorham, Joe Henderson, Richard Davis and a teen aged Tony Williams) was given a set of challenging compositions by the brilliant pianist and composer Andrew Hill.
This group created the album known as Point of Departure, an acknowledged modern day classic and one of Blue Notes most extraordinary recordings. Andrew Hill was a quiet revolutionary, but he was every bit as original in his conception as Thelonious Monk. Hill extended, twisted and turned hard bop into his own very fresh and personal music.
Like Eric Dolphy, Hill spawned few imitators. His conception was so pure, and so unique, both as a player and as an arranger-composer that nearly a half century later, Point Of Departure remains a brilliant touchstone of modern jazz.

A Short Game In A Tiny Cave Can Feel Like A Whole World

Stories often have strength because we fill in the gaps. Whenever there's ambiguity, there's a chance to speculate and create meaning. Some of the most successful games understand this—Shadow of the Colossus isn't just impressive for its giant monsters, but also for a story where nothing is entirely explained. Stories and Smoke operates on the same principle: Some of the best moments in video games are the ones we give personal meaning to.
In Stories and Smoke, available now on PC and Mac, you play as someone undergoing a ritual in a cave. There's been some type of crime committed, and you might be able to return to society depending on what happens in the cave. The catch is that there's someone else there with you: the Other. Who are they? Well, that's never quite clear. Are they your best friend? Are they a fellow student? Is it just a hallucination of yourself? Stories and Smoke never commits to an answer, but one thing is certain. Only one of you can leave the cave. Someone stays, someone goes. Through conversation and meditation, you need to decide who that person will be.
What I like about Stories and Smoke is how different an experience it will be from player to player. There's not much to do. You can wander your small section of the cave and talk to the Other. Sometimes, apparitions appear that you can speak to as well.
In terms of "gameplay," you walk and choose dialog options about who you are and what you did. But I've never believed that gameplay is only about the verbs a player has access to. Our minds wander when we play games, and that is part of the play experience. Meaning-making and emotional response matters as much as anything else.
Everyone has regrets and things they carry with them. Stories and Smoke is ultimately about whether or not you can forgive yourself and move on. That's not as exciting as winning a multiplayer match, but it can be just as rewarding. Ultimately, I decided to stay in the cave. It's hard to put into words, but I felt was for the best—for my character in the game, and maybe even for me outside of the game. Maybe the solution to a lot of things is to let those things walk away.
It's impressive that 20 minutes of play could give me such a powerful and introspective experience, one with enough wiggle room to decide the particular details of my own story. Games offer huge worlds and spaces to explore, which doesn't always mean climbing every mountain in Skyrim. Sometimes it's just you and your shadow in a cave. Done well, that can feel like the entire world.

Incredibly old tool found in Oregon
by Mihai Andrei
in Archaeology, News
Archaeologists working in Oregon have uncovered a stone tool which seems to be way older than any previously documented site of human occupation in North America.
This June 6, 2013 photo provided by the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History shows the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter archaelogical dig outside Riley, Ore. It is here that they found the tool now, in 2015. Photo: Patrick O'Grady, AP
When archaeologists date things, they use a relative law borrowed from geology, called the superposition law. The superposition law states that sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top; in other words, the new stuff are at the surface, while the older things are buried more and more. But this law doesn't always stand – especially in geology, many things can distort the natural setting, such as a volcano, a fault, or even just the movement of tectonic plates. Interestingly enough, in archaeology that law stands up more than geology, because we're talking much thinner layers and much shorter periods of time (hundreds or thousands of years, as opposed to millions).
So when University of Oregon archaeologist Patrick O'Grady, who supervises the dig in Oregon, found a hand-held scraper chipped from a piece of orange agate he was ecstatic. Why? Because he found it under a layer of volcanic ash from an eruption of Mount St. Helens that has been dated to 15,800 years ago, which indicates that the tool is much older than that layer.
This undated photo provided by the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History shows a scraper chipped out of agate found at an ancient rock shelter in the high desert of eastern Oregon. Photo credits: Photo: Patrick O'Grady, AP
There are two reasons to get excited about this: first of all, because the agate is not from the area – it's not clear where exactly the agate was brought from, but it's nowhere near the site; and second of all, the oldest known advanced human settlement in the area is the 13,000 year old Clovis culture.
"No one is going to believe this until it is shown there was no break in that ash layer, that the artifact could not have worked its way down from higher up, and until it is published in a convincing way," he said. "Until then, extreme skepticism is all they are going to get."
As a geologist, I do see some ways through which the tool may have been moved up, but it's hard to emit a valid hypothesis without at least seeing the site. The first thing that comes to mind is a landslide, which may have relocated the tool and/or the ash layer. But if this is the case, you'd have to see all the higher layers also mixed up, so it should be fairly easy to notice. I can also imagine some scenarios where water carried it up, or more likely, where the tool was actually buried by someone who came around later. But who would bury it, or why? Those all questions which remain to be answered.

this is probably a totally newbie question, but I have just switched to debian from ubuntu, and am working on a self compiled 2.6.11 upstream kernel. I compiled all the sound stuff as modules, but I do not know what file to edit to load them, or even how to start. KDE reports no /dev/dsp on startup, and when I run lsmod it shows no snd or anything like that, so could someone point me in the right direction to start setting up sound on this thing?
if specs are needed this is a G4 Dual 450 (Gigabit Ethernet model) and I am not sure what the sound card is.

It's rare to find a game that's gone through as many delays, redesigns and overhauls as Splinter Cell: Conviction has and still turns out to be any good – it's not called 'development hell' for nothing – so imagine my surprise to find out just how good this game is. My main complaint is that it's not Chaos Theory, which remains one of my favourite games ever – I lost an evening to it just the other day – and while I can forgive that because very few games are that good, the fact that it doesn't try to be is my problem.
I guess it's the same thing that has happened to Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, both once unflinchingly realistic and now barely recognisable near-future Hollywood blockbusters of games. I'm still waiting for a 'proper' Splinter Cell in the vein of the Xbox games, because both Double Agent and Conviction have tried to do something new. Sam Fisher has slowly changed from a Solid Snake knock-off to his current form as an amalgam of Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer. Not the most original character, I'm slowly realising as I type this, but regardless, the series has always been a favourite of mine and now it's barely recognisable.
But taken on its own merits, I had a brilliant time with Conviction. It was a short time, admittedly – seven hours or so by my estimation, without starting on the co-op campaign – but I stand by my conviction (sorry) that I'd prefer a great 6-7 hours to the same thing stretched out to fill 12 or more. I was satisfied by the end of it.
So it's not bad; it's just different. There's no non-lethal option here beyond avoiding encounters entirely, so it's far more of an action game, and indeed some sequences, whether a foot chase through Washington DC in broad daylight or a straight shooting sequence in Iraq, simply would not work within the framework of the original trilogy. As long as you can forgive the fact that this is not your usual Splinter Cell, but rather a new take on the same story that's a good game in its own right, you'll find an interesting experience. Really there's nothing, least of all the official Bourne or 24 games, that makes you feel like such a hard bastard.
Regardless of your opinion of Splinter Cell old or new, I guarantee that you will crack a smile when you get the drop on a room of five enemies, mark four of them, and then quickly follow a headshot on the fifth with a tap of the 'execute' button to take down the others before they can react. It's incredibly satisfying when it works like that, and even without the impetus to push for perfection in your playthrough that always pushed me through the previous games and the best in the genre, it's good to finally have Fisher back.
Now let's just have a proper new one, okay, Ubisoft?

中文摘要 電子產品輕薄短小、處理速度及功能提升的需求,促使電子元件微小化,採用之覆晶接合銲錫隆點(Flip Chip Solder Bump)的電流密度增加,使得電遷移以及熱遷移對覆晶銲錫隆點的影響更加顯著。電遷移會導致結構中孔洞的生成、銲錫中相的分離、突起物的形成及增進介金屬化合物的生成;許多缺陷將會導致底層金屬層的消耗及通電的失效,然而卻少有文獻探討基板端銅銲墊在通電過程中可能的失效行為。本研究探討錫銀覆晶接合銲錫隆點之電遷移行為,其於晶片端之底層金屬層為0.5 µm Ti/0.1 µm Cu/2 µm Ni,基板端則為20 µm銅銲墊,銲錫的直徑為140 µm,高度為105 µm。當覆晶銲錫隆點於環境溫度為150℃,電流密度為1×104 A/cm2通電後,陰極銅銲墊上出現不均勻之消耗,隨著通電時間的增加,銅銲墊在凹洞處有更快速的消耗。當銅銲墊作為陽極或是僅作時效熱處理時,銅銲墊的消耗並不顯著。本研究也針對通電所導致陰極銅銲墊的不均勻快速消耗提出建議機制,由於介金屬化合物厚度的差異與陰極銅銲墊不平整的表面,導致銅銲墊與銲錫界面上產生局部電流密度集中的區域,電遷移的極性效應也會加速銅銲墊在凹洞的消耗,隨著通電時間的增加,在銅銲墊上消耗較多的區域也逐漸成為大的凹洞,導致在通電478小時後,陰極銅銲墊在凹洞的消耗的深度可能到達20 µm,寬度則為40 µm。增加通電時間與增加電流密度皆會使銅銲墊局部電流密度集中之現象加劇,因此時間及電流密度會彼此增效(Synergise)局部電流集中的現象。
英文摘要 The miniaturization of package devices and the ever improvement in processing speed and function of the electronic products has lead to high current density for the flip chip solder bump. The increasing current density may give rise to electromigration and thermomigration to the solder bump. Electromigration has been found to cause void nucleation, phase separation of solder constituent elements, hillocks, and enhance IMC (Intermetallic Compound) formation. Many of these defects will cause consumption and failure to the thin UBM (Under Bump Metal) layers. Nevertheless, there has been few studies to investigate the possible failure of the bonding pad like thick Cu layer on the substrate side. The present study reported the electromigration in a commercial Sn-2.6Ag solder bump, with 0.5 µm Ti/0.1 µm Cu/2 µm Ni UBM. The dimension of the solder bump is 140 µm in diameter and 105 µm in height. The current stressing was conducted at a current density of 1.0×104 A/cm2 at 150℃, which induced uneven consumption of Cu pad. With increasing current stressing time, the consumption of the cathodic Cu pad accelerates at the extruded location. The consumption of the Cu pad was not prominent when the Cu acts as anode or under thermal annealing without current stressing. A schematic mechanism was proposed for illustrating the accelerate consumption of Cu pad caused by current stressing. The slightly rough interfacial structure of the Cu pad provides multiple local current crowding tips spreading at the Cu pad/solder interface. The polarity electromigration behavior at the cathodic interface accelerates the consumption of Cu pad at the tips which merge to large cavity after prolong current stressing. The cavities grow to 20 µm deep and 40 µm diameter at 478 hours of current stressing, indicating a serious local consumption of the 20 µm Cu pad when serves as cathode. With increasing current density or current stressing time, the effect of local current crowding increased. The effect of local current crowding is synergised by time and current density.

Q: Web API Authentication in ASP.NET 5 I've been studying ASP.NET 5 for some time now and there is something I'm yet confused. To implement authentication in Web API 2 what I used to do was basically use the OWIN OAuth Authentication Server Middleware. It was simple to use, I could configure just what I needed and there wasn't a bunch of stuff I needed to put on the app without need for it.
Now, at first I didn't find this in ASP.NET 5 and I thought it was a matter of time to wait the middleware to show up. But yesterday, reading on the issues on the Security repo I found out that apparently there is no intention to port this middleware to the new version of the framework.
Instead, it seems people are encouraged to use Identity Server 3. I took a look on the project and although it is nice and has many usages I really prefer to configure just the minimum I need sometimes. Also, another drawback is that Identity Server 3 needs the full CLR, so if I need to use it in order to provide authentication on my application I would need to stop using Core CLR, which for me is a huge disadvantage since Core CLR is a lot more lightweight.
So, if I don't want to use the Identity Server 3 on ASP.NET 5, how can I implement authentication for Web API if the OAuth Authentication Server middleware is gone? Has anyone been through that and found a way to deal with it?
How to deal with authentication on ASP.NET 5 Web API without using Identity Server 3?

A: Indeed, there'll be no OAuthAuthorizationServerMiddleware in ASP.NET 5.
If you're looking for the same low-level approach, you should take a look at AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server: it's an advanced fork of the OAuth2 authorization server middleware that comes with Katana 3 but that targets OpenID Connect, as you already figured out (
OAuth Authorization Service in ASP.NET Core).
https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server
OpenID Connect is itself based on OAuth2 and is basically a superset offering standardized authentication features. Don't worry: you can, of course, use ANY OAuth2 client with ANY OpenID Connect server, including AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server.
Don't miss the MVC 6 sample: https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server/tree/dev/samples/Mvc
app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(new JwtBearerOptions
{
    AutomaticAuthenticate = true,
    AutomaticChallenge = true,
    Audience = "http://localhost:54540/",
    Authority = "http://localhost:54540/"
});

app.UseOpenIdConnectServer(options =>
{
    options.Provider = new AuthorizationProvider();
});

Good luck, and don't hesitate to ping me if you need help.

A: I ran into the exact same issue when trying to use the OWIN OAuth Authorization Server middleware in ASP.NET 5, so I decided to port the code myself. You can find the source at this GitHub repo https://github.com/XacronDevelopment/oauth-aspnet or just use the NuGet packages OAuth.AspNet.AuthServer and OAuth.AspNet.Tokens. Check out the source code to see how things are wired up; the samples in the source are the same samples Microsoft created here http://bit.ly/1MOGDEJ except with ASP.NET 5 examples added.

St Ives Town 1-3 (aet) AFC Shildon ---
FA Vase Fifth Round ---
ST IVES Town's progress in the FA Vase came to a cruel end against Shildon, as two extra-time goals eliminated the Saints at the Fifth Round for the third year in a row.
The game seemed to have swung in the home team's favour when Ozie Foster sent a packed Westwood Road wild with an equaliser three minutes from the end of normal time, but Shildon withstood the pressure and netted a breakaway goal in each half to advance to the quarter-finals.
Ives started the game strongly against their Northern League opponents, winning numerous set-pieces around the Shildon box. Despite Foster and Conor Washington's hard-work they could not create a clear-cut chance aside from Will Fordham's header onto the roof of the net from a free-kick.
With a heavy Westwood Road pitch hampering both teams, flowing football was difficult, and it was a defensive mix-up that led to the opening goal after 57 minutes.
A loose ball in the box was not cleared effectively, and with defenders waiting for goalkeeper Rob Mackney to collect, Shildon's Samuel Garvie prodded home.
Ives stepped up the pressure thereafter, and co-managers Warren Everdell and Jez Hall switched the formation to match Shildon's 4-3-3. The move gave Saints more penetration up front, and a break down the left allowed Jamie Blackwell to find Foster to drive home from 12 yards.
The momentum seemed behind Ives as the teams entered extra-time, with Foster and substitute Declan Rogers both going close and Washington proving a constant threat, but Shildon provided reminders that they could be dangerous on the break.
A long ball into the heart of the Ives defence was scuffed clear and fell to Garvie, who sidestepped one man and lashed the ball past Mackney to put Shildon in the driving seat again.
Ives battled to get back on terms, but left themselves increasingly open at the back, and Shildon were able to add another goal when substitute Martin Houlahan burst through the back line and fired home to make the game safe.

Mark Gill, General Manager of Schroeder Design Build, Flies High
July 13, 2022 /in News & Events/by Schroeder Design Build
You might know Mark from his active area networking, and as a two-time past president of a local BNI chapter. You might also have worked closely with him on your home renovation project, because he takes tremendous pride in delivering quality work by helping define your vision of a dream home, and ensuring your dreams come true.
"When I joined Schroeder Design/Build back in 2013," beams Mark, "I quickly understood what it takes to run a successful remodeling business: individual empowerment. Systems-based and growth-minded, Schroeder encourages personal and professional growth and development for its employees, and shares that enthusiasm with its loyal clients."
Starting as a sales and design manager, Mark's expertise propelled him to General Manager, and official co-ownership this year. His biggest accomplishment was improving business processes to help reduce the company's reliance on its owners. "We value our people the most," continues Mark. "Great results stem from empowering our teams and optimizing our systems."
Mark partnered with Andrew the CEO to reinvent how SBD does business. "We adopted new training programs and became even more collaborative," smiles Mark. "Owners' duties were shifted to staff, and communications were streamlined with the implementation of new technology. We thrive on sharing accolades, and encouraging each other to grow and succeed!"
Mark's enthusiasm flows into every aspect of his life, including an obsession with "all things airplanes". The hobby was triggered a few decades ago when a friend of his parents gave him flying lessons after his father's death – and he's been in love with flight ever since. "There's nothing more exhilarating than flying, and nothing cooler than planes."
A Sentimental Journey
It's a sunny day in Manassas Virginia. The blue sky holds a few puffy white clouds and a few WWII era fighters and bombers. Schroeder Design Build co-owner and GM, Mark Gill and his wife Lisa, stroll around the airport inspecting the planes and talking to the crews.
Mark struck up a conversation with a crew member of a restored B-17 bomber from WWII, named Sentimental Journey. They encouraged him to become part of the Commemorative Air Force's mission to honor those that had served on those planes so many decades ago and to inspire current and future generations to do great things. Now, several times a tour season, you will find Mark flying as part of the crew on a vintage B-29 Superfortress named FIFI.
When I asked Mark about his obsession with flying on WWII era planes, his eyes light up.
"I can remember the exact isle in the grocery store where they kept the model airplanes. I think I was 8 or so years old. My mom would leave me there to look at the planes, while she and my sisters grocery shopped (You could do that in our small town)."
"I had been staring at a particular model plane for three weeks when Mom finally let me buy it. After that all my savings went to buying and building those model airplanes. My love of planes, and respect for those who did what had to be done to create a better world, grew from there. Reading about the crews and their leaders, I saw that 'belief in the cause' led to ownership of the outcome and then, ultimately to success."
"When I joined Schroeder Design/Build back in 2013," Mark relays with the same twinkle in his eye. "I quickly understood for a remodeling business to be successful it's team members must believe in the service our company delivers, own their mission and the success of each remodeling project. Schroeder encourages personal and professional development for our team and shares that enthusiasm with our loyal clients." Leadership doesn't need to shine, the craft of our teams and their pride in workmanship does.
Mark sees his biggest accomplishment as improving processes and systems. "We value our people the most," continues Mark. "Great results stem from encouraging others to realize their potential and giving them the tools to succeed.
We thrive on doing it well, doing it right". I want our clients to not just see the work behind their remodel, but the excellence we put into everything we do for their home."
Whatever you do in life, do it with joy and purpose," encourages Mark. "I feel the same joy and sense of purpose with my Schroeder team as I do in the air, learning and experiencing life to the fullest. When you help others to realize their full potential, great things happen. Whether you're creating a dream home or living your dreams, the sky's the limit!"

Bike workouts for three levels
15 Feb Bike workouts for three levels
Posted at 09:04h in Published Stories	by	Melanie Chambers 0 Comments
From this Chatelaine story find out the perfect bike workout for you.
Fresh air, low cost, low impact: what's not to love about cycling? Whether you're a beginner or a pro at pedalling, choose a step-by-step workout to get you started this season and keep you cycling smoothly.
by Melanie Chambers
Fresh air, low cost, low impact: what's not to love about cycling? Whether you're a beginner or a pro at pedalling, choose a step-by-step workout to get you started this season and keep you cycling smoothly:
Warm up with an easy 10-minute cycle until you're sweating lightly.
Ride on routes that are flat. As you get comfortable, climb a few hills. Practise shifting gears; find one that's comfortable for riding uphill.
Gradually increase your rides from 10 to 20 and then 30 minutes, three times a week.
TIP If you focus on an obstacle on the road ahead, such as a rock or parked car, you're more likely to run into it, says Maria Mountain, a kinesiologist at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in London, Ont. Keep your eyes focused on where you want to go—not on what you want to avoid.
Intermediate workout
Warm up with an easy 10-minute ride.
Do cycling intervals. Bike for two minutes at a quicker pace, then pedal for four minutes at an easier pace. Alternate from hard to easy four times.
Bike for 20 to 60 minutes, three to five times a week. Increase your cycling time by two to three minutes every two weeks.
TIP Stay in gears that allow 90 to 100 revolutions per minute (rpm) or 22 to 25 revolutions per 15 seconds when on flat terraine, says Lesley Tomlinson, two-time mountain bike Olympian. This faster pace prevents your knees from getting sore. A bike computer will help you track rpm.
Advanced workout
Warm up with an easy 10-minute cycle.
Do high-intensity cycling intervals. Cycle for three minutes at a faster pace, but not a sprint. Further increase your speed for two to four minutes. Your legs will be burning and you should feel tired but able to continue. Slow it down to an easy pace for three to six minutes. Repeat three to five times.
Lift weights two to three times a week to build muscle. The stronger you are, the more force you can put into pedalling and the faster you'll go.
Cycle for 60 minutes, four to five times a week, alternating long rides with interval training or hills.
TIP Shift to an easier gear when you're approaching a hill, says mountain biker Lesley Tomlinson. When you're halfway up and half-exhausted, it's harder on your legs and the bike to make a major gear shift.
Beginner workout


My love and support for David Archuleta never died down even after almost 6 years. People say he's no longer famous and he has no new music so why support him still? But truth be told, it's never really about the fame. Because as cheesy and as cliche as this sounds, David's music has touched, inspired, and motivated me in ways that helped me surpass all those life circumstances and struggles I faced. In fact, I don't know why and how but amazingly, his music just keeps on being timely.
It isn't a secret that I've went through a quarter life crisis last year. I was lost, confused and I was struggling. The thought still haunts me even up to this day, though it may not seem obvious. And then here comes David with his new album, Postcards in the Sky (Please listen to it on spotify!). I know that some might not like his new music, but I really really do love every single song in the album because the lyrics just hits me and David is making me feel that I am not alone and I am strong and God is always with me.
I AM SO PROUD OF DAVID FOR BEING BRAVE AND FOR BEING TRUE TO HIMSELF. Seeing him live 6 years ago and seeing him live again today, he's changed a lot and you can tell that his heart is no longer empty, that he's happier now, that he's believing in himself now and that he's sharing his story and that the passion is burning.
This is long but I just really want to get my thoughts out. Both my 15 year old self and my 24 year old self is really, really happy and grateful right now.
I do not know this singer but it is very beautiful when the music inspires you so much helping you even in difficult moments.
Hi! It should be a fantastic experience.
How cool, I did not even know this artist and I really liked the sound he makes. Have a great day.
Molto bello il tuo blog, ti seguo in facebook, twitter e instagram, mi farebbe piacere tu ricambiassi : lachicchina.blogspot.com Grazie, a presto!
So cool you got to see him again:) I remember him from American Idol.
It sounds like you had a really nice time at the event Rae. I hope you are doing well!
It seems you have a lot of fun.
Oh how fun! Love this!! Have a wonderful Monday, love!
Music can do wonders for the soul, especially during periods in your life like those. I remember my own quarter life crises, and it wasn't fun. Music definitely helped me through a lot.

Professional quality drop forged steel, horizontal squeeze grip!
Blade cutting length of 4.5 inches; overall length of 12 inches. Wt 1 lb.
Scissors cutting action, can be sharpened, forged steel alloy blades, heat treated, non-slip grips, weight 1lb.
Had to return these grass shears. Once I got them in my hand I realized how hard it was to orient the shears for cutting grass. For normal hand movements, the handles should be oriented 90 degrees to the blades not in the same axis as the blades. The shears are very well made, but just awkward for long-term grass trimming with my hands. Having the handles in line with the blades is fine for pruning cutters where branches come at all angles and you can rotate your wrist and forearm to get at the item to cut, but grass always comes perpendicular to the ground so in my opinion this requires a different orientation of the blades/handles for easier hand use.
"Appreciate the great customer service, the fast delivery, and absolutely, the quality of the product. Thank you"
good price, blades are slightly bowed, stiff and heavy.
5 5 Very happy so far. Tim G.
These are very easy to use and are comfortable in your hand. Seems to be very good quality.
5 5 this tool was the answer Barb J.
I have a large patch of creeping thyme on a slope that is kinda dangerous with lawnmower (&messy) so I bought the Japanese blades cutter & this tool. This one let do the cutting without gloves because the handles are coated, so it was comfortable to use for an hour. Real quality that I am very happy with!!!

Q: Manually Set Resolution on Microsoft Display Adapter I have one of those Microsoft Display Adapters that I use for Miracasting. Yesterday I decided to move it from my Sony 40 Inch 1080p 60Hz tv to my AOC f22 Monitor again 1080p 60Hz. On my tv it works fine I get the full 1080p and everything works great, but on my AOC F22 it goes down to 1280x720 and looks really bad and distorted.
Is it possible to manually set the resolution on these wireless display adapters, and if so how. I am perfectly okay with resetting the monitor the adapter whatever it takes.

This palette cleaner from Turner Colour Works Ltd was created to remove Turner Acryl Gouache from plastic palettes. Acrylic gouaches give artists the ability to adhere gouache to anything, but learn quickly after the fact that removing the dried gouache becomes a huge problem--even with scrubbing and soaking. Even the most durable plastic ABS palettes are subject to ugly stains left from staining pigments, after stringent cleaning with soap and water. Turner Palette Cleaner works quickly and easily--simply dip a clean soft cloth into the cleaner and gently rub the palette clean (do not dilute). The 40ml jar has enough for dozens of palette cleanings; a little goes a long way!
Although this product was originally created for use with Acryl Gouache, in testing we found that Turner Palette Cleaner is just as effective at removing watercolor palette stains! Use Turner Palette Cleaner to remove watercolor stains, sticky watercolor mediums, residue and cement-like acrylic gouache like magic—leaving your palette looking brand new!
Turner Palette Cleaner is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Teata from Great features Love it. Use it to clean a glass palette for oil painting.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JJWms from Good product I bought Turner Palette Cleaner because I could not get my palette clean using just water and wiping it up. I wish i had known about Turner Palette Cleaner sooner. It worked great and my palette is back to its original white.

Joseph D. Hulko
In September 2003, Father Joseph Hulko admitted to the Diocese that he sexually abused a minor female while he was the Chaplain at St. Francis Orphanage in Orwigsburg, between June 18, 1971, and October 18, 1971. Hulko expressed that he had been troubled by it for a number of years, which prompted him to admit the abuse.
Hulko was interviewed in 2012. At the outset of the interview, Hulko volunteered that he did not engage in oral sex with the victim. Hulko met the victim at the orphanage and had sexual contact with her. The victim was a teenage resident of the orphanage. Shortly after starting his assignment at the orphanage, Hulko sat in the television room with female minor residents. It was night and the girls were dressed in sleeping clothes. Hulko sat next to the victim, who was wearing "low cut" sleeping clothes so that her breasts were partially exposed. Hulko, motivated by "curiosity," touched the victim's right bare breast. Hulko claimed that this was his first sexual contact with the victim. Hulko stated he did not know how old the victim was at the time but believed she was of high school age. Based on the victim's date of birth, she was fourteen years old when Hulko touched her breast. Hulko said that he knew what he did was "wrong" and "I'm a priest and she's an orphan girl."
The second time Hulko had sexual contact with the victim was when he kissed her at her grandmother's house. Hulko told the investigator that, between the time he touched the victim's breast and the time he kissed her, he was never alone with the victim. As the interview progressed, Hulko revised his story and told the investigator that on multiple occasions he was alone with the victim and kissed her. Hulko described the kisses as "long passionate kisses" and described himself as a "sex addict." When the investigator challenged Hulko's truthfulness, Hulko ended the interview. The investigator wrote in his report that he believed "Hulko deliberately tried to conceal the truth about type and frequency of sexual contact" with the victim.
A document produced by the Diocese, dated July 2012, was entitled "Personal Safety Plan, Rev. Joseph D. Hulko (HJA)." In a section entitled "Summary of Problem Behaviors," the following was written:
"The victim has recently been identified and alleges that there were many instances of HJA kissing her, touching her genitals, grabbing at her body and clothes in HJA's orphanage room, in his car, in the victim's orphanage room, and whenever and wherever HJA found time alone with the victim on orphanage property. The victim reported that there was oral sex between her and HJA in his room. The victim was 14 or 15 years old at the time of the abuse and the abuse occurred over approximately a one year period, as much as twice a week."
Prior to Hulko admitting to the sexual abuse of a minor, he was sent for "treatment" six different times between 1982 and 2003.
In a letter to Hulko's mother dated August 11, 1982, in which Monsignor Muntone was carbon copied, a psychologist from Lehigh Valley Associates wrote, "At your request I spoke to Monsignor Muntone regarding your son's temporary placement … Monsignor has assured me that Joe is safe and doing well … Considering the delicacy of the situation, I agree that no one should know where Joe is at this time." Hulko was at Trinity Retreat Center, New Rochelle, New York.
After his stay at Trinity, Hulko was reported to be on "Sick Leave" for three years, until 1985. Over the next two decades, Hulko was given twelve different assignments and sent for "treatment" an additional five times before his retirement in 2003. Monsignor Gerald E. Gobitas wrote in a memorandum dated January 15, 2015, to administrative personnel that Hulko had moved to Robertsville, Missouri, and "please send his pension checks directly to him."

The state of Canada's former residential school buildings
Canada's last Indian residential school closed in 1996, but many of the physical structures from that dark chapter in Canada's history still stand. Here's a look at the fate or current use of some of these buildings across the country.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission has called for a national plan to commemorate the sites
CBC News · Posted: Sep 26, 2017 6:17 PM ET | Last Updated: September 27, 2017
The Battleford Industrial School in the Northwest Territories took in at least 100 students each year after the Red River Resistance in the late 1860s until the school closed in 1914. The building burned down in 2003, but there's been a renewed campaign to preserve the cemetery. (Archives of Canada) (Archives of Canada)
Canada's last Indian residential school closed in 1996, but many of the physical structures from that dark chapter in Canada's history still stand.
'Sites of conscience': MPs urged to help mark Indigenous residential schools
In its final report in 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on the federal government to provide sufficient resources to identify, document and commemorate the children who died in the residential school system. It also called for a national plan to commemorate residential school sites.
But Ry Moran, the director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba, wants more to be done.
Moran told MPs on Tuesday the federal government should help Indigenous communities that want to preserve the country's few remaining residential school buildings to honour former students.
"It's essential for us, as humanity, not only that we celebrate who we are when we're at our best, but also [that] we never forget who we have been when we've been at our worst," he said
At the peak of the residential school system in the 1930s, there were about 80 of the schools operating in Canada. Here's how some of Canada's residential school buildings are being used now.
Blue Quills Residential School
The Blue Quills school, near St. Paul, Alta., opened its doors in 1931 and was run by the Roman Catholic Church. Today, it has been renamed Blue Quills First Nations College and is run by the seven First Nations communities that surround it.

St. Eugene Mission School, Ktunaxa Nation
"The Mission," as it's known locally, was a former residential school and Catholic mission that was established to bring Christian education to First Nations in the B.C. Interior. The school was closed in 1970 and largely abandoned for two decades. In the early 2000s, the historic building and grounds were converted into a golf resort and casino, which is operated by the local Ktunaxa Nation in partnership with the Samson Cree Nation and the Mnjikaning First Nations.

Birtle Indian Residential School
The old Birtle Indian Residential School in Manitoba has been sitting vacant for several year. The province's historical society says it was sold in 2016, but it still sits largely abandoned. Some have suggested it be demolished.

Mohawk Institute, Six Nations, Ont.
The Anglican Church ran the former Mohawk Institute, now the Woodland Cultural Centre, from the 1830s until 1970, housing children from the Six Nations Iroquois and others from communities across Ontario.

Île-à-la-Crosse Residential School
The residential school in Île-à-la-Crosse, Sask., was shut down in the mid-1970s and later turned into an alcohol rehabilitation centre. Carolyn Bennett, now minister for Crown-Indigenous relations and northern affairs, and two survivors participated in a symbolic demolition of the school in 2016.

Portage la Prairie Indian Residential School
A drawing shows the former Portage la Prairie Indian Residential School in Manitoba, which operated from 1916 to 1975. The site is now used as a resource centre for the Long Plain First Nation. In 2005, it was designated as a Provincial Heritage Site and a plaque was erected in front of the building.

Assiniboia Indian Residential School
The Assiniboia Indian Residential School, located in Winnipeg's River Heights neighbourhood, now houses the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. Former students toured the building earlier this year.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie School
Sir Alexander Mackenzie School in Inuvik was built in 1959 before becoming an elementary school managed by the territory. It closed in 2012 and was demolished in 2014.

The intercoolers have been tried and tested and are on a few vehicles already with absolutely fantastic results. The temps compared to the standard intercooler are so much lower.
The standard intercooler and the MTC intercooler both had intercooler intake temperatures of between 135-140 degrees through 3 runs. At the other side of the intercooler into the engine the standard intercooler temps were between 75-80 degrees whereas the MTC intercooler temperatures were in the high 20's over all 3 runs which is absolutely fantastic! Massive 5 core Intercooler with flowed cast end tanks and 4 rows extra at the front to increase the surface area and keep those temps down! I added a fin to the inside of the casting on the intake side to direct some of the airflow up through the top 4 extra cores. Weighs in at 11.5kg and provides near 100% more volume and 90% more surface area than the standard intercooler.
Dimensions are 520mm X 215mm X 145mm, a massive increase on the standard intercooler. Exactly the same dimensions as the Wagner intercooler. Competition core provides the best cooling properties. Intercooler is powder coated in satin black with machined alloy ends left bare.
Fitting will take 1-2 hours. Proven to handle over 500bhp as I have a car running this power with my intercooler. The intercooler are in stock and ready to dispatch same day if ordered before 12 o'clock. The intercooler are a direct fit and wouldn't say it was a hard job.

It turns out that New York City's streets actually are paved with gold -- its tens of thousands of parking meters could be worth $5 billion or more if privatized.
City officials are looking at how other cash-strapped municipalities have already auctioned off the long-term rights to their meters for hundreds of millions of dollars -- and say the move could work for the Apple.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith -- assigned by Mayor Bloomberg to find innovative ways to cut spending and increase revenues -- liked the idea enough to bring it up at a city Department of Transportation meeting.
Officials confirmed that the proposal had been discussed. Still, they added that it's not likely to be acted on in the immediate future, given that such a one-shot sell-off of such a revenue generator is out of line with Bloomberg's pledge not to saddle future generations with debts.
"We're always looking at different opportunities for new good ideas," said mayoral spokesman Marc LaVorgna. "But it's not something we're pursuing right now."
Still, if the city's fiscal situation gets desperate enough, the plan could shift quickly to cashing in on the meters.
New York City's meters produced $138.9 million for the city treasury last year and provided jobs to 125 Department of Transportation employees who repair and maintain them.
By some estimates, the city's 50,402 single-space meters and 4,834 Muni Meters could command at least $5 billion if sold to a private firm to run.
Goldsmith was enthusiastic about the idea even before he took office.
"This isn't rocket science," he wrote in Governing magazine in January, six months before he joined the administration. "Most citizens couldn't care less who takes the coins out of their parking meters."
Chicago became the first city in the nation to privatize its meters in December 2008, but not without controversy.
For an upfront payment of $1.15 billion, Mayor Richard Daley gave up revenues from 36,000 downtown meters for 75 years. He also gave up the hefty maintenance bill for the meters.
Critics denounced the deal as a giveaway, especially after the proceeds were used to prop up Chicago's budget that year instead of being invested in long-term capital projects or a rainy-day fund.
"Oh, no!" Chicago Alderman Scott Wauguespack exclaimed after being told that New York officials were studying what his city had done.
"It filled the budget gap for one year," he said. "Now, we've lost our revenue stream for the next 70 or so years."
Parking rates in some Chicago neighborhoods quadrupled as part of the agreement with a private investor group led by Morgan Stanley.
