What the Godfather of IF Eats – Mark Mattson, Ph.D. – #634
By: Dave Asprey
In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is one of the world's top experts on the health benefits of intermittent fasting on the brain and body.
Decades before intermittent fasting diets became popular, Mark began studying mouse models to understand how the brain adapts to challenges like fasting and exercise. He and his research teams have shown that fasting can improve cognitive function and metabolic health. Early studies in humans now are underway.
"Intermittent fasting and exercise can reverse diabetes, and obesity in humans if a person can switch their eating pattern, and get on an exercise program," Mark says.
His work on intermittent fasting has been featured on national media and he has given a TED Talk, "Why Fasting Bolsters Brain Power". Our conversation in this episode covers a lot of ground, such as:
What happens during a fasted ketogenic state;
How to choose an intermittent fasting time period;
What and when Mark eats to obtain maximum intermittent fasting brain and body benefits;
How the mTor pathway is inhibited;
How autophagy acts as both a garbage disposal and a recycling bin;
How the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant defense pathway is activated; and
How important nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are to brain health.
Mark currently is a professor of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. He's one of the foremost researchers in the area of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Previously, he was chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences at the National Institute on Aging Intramural Research Program (IRP) at the National Institutes of Health since 2000.

YOU: BETTER AT EVERY DECADE
While most people assume we will peak when we are young, my new book, SUPER HUMAN: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever, reveals there is another way. It is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to transform how you look and feel now, get healthier and disease-proofed with every decade, and dramatically extend your lifespan. Said differently, I wrote this book to help you have better sex, develop super brain power, avoid disease and live until 180.
Live better now and live longer later. Get reading.

Grimes - Good Records - 3/1/12
Audra Schroeder
| Concert Reviews |
Audra Schroeder | March 2, 2012 | 7:47am
Grimes Good Records Thursday, March 1
Was it just me or did Grimes seem a a little nervous to be playing at 4 p.m.? There was a hesitancy to the daylight set, as well as vocal and sound issues, which could have added to the feel. And she could apparently only play four songs.
With all that out of the way, Grimes - aka 23-year-old Claire Boucher - still managed to convey her digital feelings. She got into the physicality of the music, moving her fingers like a conductor to the beat, kneeling on the ground between two cases full of equipment, bending her torso, scanning with her eyes and making mental notes. When she didn't quite hit the high note on "Symphonia IX," she barked, "Fek!" immediately after, but it might as well have been part of her glitchy canvas.
"Be a Body" showcased the many dark corners of her voice, which really is the focus of Grimes' music. It's another instrument for her to synthesize and manipulate.There's one song on new album Visions that reminds me of the chorus from Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait," but other than that accidental indulgence, Grimes' music doesn't ape the era she was barely alive in, and it doesn't feel as rote as a lot of "dance" music these days. Seeing her on that stage, a bit nervous, surrounded by her "electric friends" gave a sense of how she might be creating in her bedroom.
"Fuuuck," she said again towards the end of the last song, then noticed the row of kids in front of the stage. "Oh, god, there are kids. I'm sorry!"
By the way: Word is her show at Dan's later in the night was a bit more cohesive. Also, word is when the crowd started hollering requests, two men shouted, "Video Games," because that's where we are right now?

Host Cards C-USA favorite
Marquette, the No. 8 team in the nation, will be the No. 1 seed in the Conference USA Tournament starting March 12.
The Golden Eagles clinched the American Division title and have one game remaining against Memphis Saturday.
Marquette boasts an All-American candidate, Dwyane Wade, who averages 21.7 points per game.
The No. 2 seed in the tournament, Memphis (11-3 in C-USA), is riding a nine-game winning streak heading into its final matchup against UAB.
The Tigers are led by 6-foot-9 senior Chris Massie, who has 17.1 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game and has helped lead Memphis to No. 27 in the country in blocked shots.
No. 15 Louisville looks to be the No. 3 seed with a 10-5 record.
The Cardinals have another potential All-American candidate in Reece Gaines, who averages 18.6 points per game.
Cincinnati has a final regular-season matchup with Marquette that could boost its current No. 4 seed.
The Bearcats have a chance to move into the No. 3 seed if they pull off a victory at Marquette. However, they should stay at No. 4.
After the top four teams, the field thickens, with the next six teams sporting an 8-7 or 7-8 record.
Saint Louis has a matchup with 3-12 East Carolina Saturday and should escape the weekend with a 9-7 record and the No. 5 seed.
UAB will fall prey to the nation's sixth-longest winning streak against Memphis and fall from No. 6 to No. 8.
Playing in the No. 6 seed will be USF, which will break its road jinx by defeating TCU Saturday.
The Bulls' leading scorer, Will McDonald, will continue to impress the scouts, and senior guard Reggie Kohn will prove his leadership and not go out easily.
Charlotte, C-USA's leader in three-point field goals made (76), will enter the tournament in the No. 7 seed.
UAB and DePaul share the middle of the bracket at the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds, respectively.
Tulane, 70-62 losers to USF Wednesday, hosts Southern Miss and will improve on its record with a home win against the Golden Eagles.
Houston and Southern Miss fill out the bottom of the bracket in the No. 11 and No. 12 seeds.
With Marquette, Memphis, Louisville and Cincinnati receiving first-round byes, UAB and DePaul will meet in the first round.
The Blazers will move on before losing to Marquette in the second round.
St. Louis will make it out of the first round but have a short-lived glory, losing to the Bearcats.
The Bulls will make it past Houston before losing to host Louisville. Charlotte rounds out the first-round victories and falls to the Tigers.
In the semi-finals, Marquette will move on to the final.
The Cardinals will give the home crowd something to cheer about after defeating Memphis, in what could possibly be a classic affair, to pair itself with Marquette for the championship.
Louisville will earn its automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by becoming the C-USA Tournament champions with a victory against Marquette.

Q: Changing a column type in a very large pandas dataframe is too slow I have a very large dataframe, around 80GB. I want to change the type of some of its columns from object to category. Trying to do it this way:
df[col_name] = df[col_name].astype('category')

Takes around 1 minute per column, which is a lot. My first question would be why does it take that long?
Just running:
df[col_name].astype('category')

takes just around 1 second.
I tried something like:
temp = df[col_name].astype('category')
df.drop(columns=[col_name])
df[col_name] = temp

In this case it turns out that dropping the column is also very slow.
Now, I also tried replacing drop by del, that is
temp = df[col_name].astype('category')
del df[col_name]
df[col_name] = temp

Surprisingly (for me) this was very fast. So My second question is why is del so much faster than drop in this case? What is the most "correct" way of doing this conversion, and what is the most efficient (hopefully they are the same)?
Thanks

A: You could use something like
df['col_name'].values.astype('category')

The Early 20th Century Society That Tried to Make English Spelling More Intuitive
Lily Ordineav
English is such a complex and involved language, and many could argue that it's perhaps too complicated. There are so many tenses in English, not to mention words that are spelled differently, and mean different things, but are pronounced the same – their, there, they're. In fact, English can be such a complex and difficult language, that we often wonder how people can learn it.
Have you ever just hoped and prayed that the English language would just be that little bit simpler? Slightly less complicated and forced, and a little bit more intuitive? Well, it won't surprise you to hear that you're not the only one. In fact, in the early part of the 20th Century, there was a society that was created to try to make English spelling and language more simple – let's find out more about them.
London Simplified Spelling Society
At the turn of the 20th Century, the LSSS was just one of the groups that were pushing for the simplification of the English language in terms of spelling. The group published its first journal in around 1912, which detailed how tricky and unreasonable English spelling was. In fact, one of the first things the group championed was the idea that there should be alternate ways of spelling words. They hoped that this idea would catch on, but it seems like not everyone shared their sentiments.
In fact, the London Simplified Spelling Society even included and came up with a pronunciation guide. This was a guide that included many different alternate pronunciations of words that can be deciphered easily. You might have seen this guide before, and, if you haven't, let us tell you it's a little bit OTT. In fact, in some ways, this guide is almost more complicated and difficult to decipher than the spellings they were originally trying to combat. If you ever get a chance to check out this guide, make sure you do, it's a curious and fascinating read.
Those who created the society found themselves in good company, for there were many people around that time calling for a reform of the English language, and spelling in particular. Indeed, even Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, were in favor of spelling reform. In fact, Irish playwright and polemicist George Bernard Shaw was actually a member of the London Simplified Spelling Society. So it's clear there were many people, even well-known people, who worked with spelling and words, who supported the spelling reform that was put forward.
As you can see, there are a lot of complexities that remain with the English language and spelling. Anyone who has tried to learn English as a foreign language, or teach spelling to children will understand how difficult it can be. And it's clear that even far back in the early part of the 20th Century people shared that viewpoint. Perhaps it is time to rethink the way that we spell words and look for a simpler way of exploring our wonderful language.

A Foodie Bibliophile in Wanderlust: Want to make kids readers? It's simple. Ditch the textbooks and give them REAL books!
This just makes me want to shout, "Yay!" How exciting. I love the three girls sitting together by the window and reading. It makes me want to call my best friend!
What grade do you teach? I'd love to get my 3-5 teachers on board with reading workshop. When students come to the library for checkout, it's always the same books that get checked out from week to week no matter how much I promote other genres, new books, movie tie-ins, you name it! Hmm, definitely need to think about how I can make this work in the library - thanks for sharing!
I teach 5th and 6th grade. I highly recommend reading The Book Whisperer, or at the very least, recommending it to the teachers at your school. It is so inspiring. I read it last year in May and was so bummed it wasn't September so I could start the workshop. I had been doing a very loose version of reading workshop for a few years, but it never had the structure that Donalyn Miller was able to give to me. Her book really gave my class a structure and purpose to reading workshop.

Q: Coordinate array to layer using cheap-ruler I have calculated a destination from bearing/distance (feet) using cheap-ruler.js https://github.com/mapbox/cheap-ruler
Console.log() returns this array from the calculation..
[-87.36328091530362, 37.78808138412046]

I then am trying to add the result to the map using...
    var ruler = cheapRuler(35.2, 'feet');

    var bearing = document.getElementById('bearing').value;
    var distance = document.getElementById('distance').value;

    var calc = ruler.destination(lnglat, 0.1, 90);

    destlnglat = [calc[0], calc[1]];

    var myIcon = L.divIcon({className: 'css-icon'});

    // Pass array to layer...
    var destinationPoint = L.geoJson(destlnglat, {
    pointToLayer: function (feature, destlnglat) {
            return new L.Marker(destlnglat, {icon: myIcon });
        }
    }).addTo(map);

Which returns no error in the console? How do I correctly pass back to L.geoJson()?
Edit: I got this working using the following..
function calculateDestinationFt() {

    var ruler = cheapRuler(35.2, 'feet');

    var bearing = document.getElementById('bearing').value;
    var distance = document.getElementById('distance').value;

    var calc = ruler.destination(lnglat, bearing, distance);

    var myIcon = L.divIcon({className: 'css-icon'});

    var m_coords = {
        lng: calc[0],
        lat: calc[1]
    };

    var destination = {

But my results are waaaay off? I got these results pluging in a bearing:270 and distance 5280ft? Neither ft or bearing appear correct. AaAH!!

A: Simple answer!
You're got your bearing and distance around the wrong way. From the docs: https://github.com/mapbox/cheap-ruler#destinationp-dist-bearing
Quote:
destination(p, dist, bearing)
Returns a new point given distance and bearing from the starting point.
var point = ruler.destination([30.5, 50.5], 0.1, 90);

ICE Product Profile—INTERBLOCK
KEYWORDS Gaming Conferences / roulette
Luxury gaming manufacturer and electronic table game market leader Interblock will raise the bar even higher at ICE Totally Gaming in February 2017 with a diverse, industry-leading profile of new products, side bets, features and functionalities at booth #S4-210.
Interblock Global CEO John Connelly said, "2016 has been a year dedicated to investing in all sectors of the business in order to build an infrastructure for the future. We introduced new, innovative technology designed to enhance the player experience and expanded our product portfolio, which has allowed any casino to place an Interblock product on its floor. Our objective at ICE this year will be to show our commitment to our customers by showcasing our most demanded products for the market; by introducing our newest products and features; and by sharing our data-driven information illustrating that ETGs should no longer be directly compared with the slot business."
At this year's exhibition, Interblock will showcase its wide range of automated, video, and dealer assist advanced multi-player ETGs (electronic table games) methodologically enhanced based on customer and player feedback, including the Big Six wheel, StarBar, Stadium, MiniStar Roulette, TRIO, PULSE ARENA, Dual Roulette and more.
The MiniStar Roulette offers a smaller footprint than Interblock's Diamond Roulette product line to accommodate any casino floor. The ergonomically designed MiniStar Roulette features super-comfortable techno-gel armrests, optional progressive jackpot systems, and fast result detection.
Interblock's Big Six wheel scheduled to be on display at ICE will feature its enhanced audio and visual effects launched at G2E Las Vegas 2016. This wheel is not only the largest wheel in the industry, but is also the industry's only double-sided wheel, providing the flexibility to add play stations on one or both sides. In a recent report, Interblock announced that the Big Six game is performing at two times the house average at two of New York State's largest gaming destinations including Resorts World New York City and Empire City Casino.
StarBar, which was awarded the Silver Medal for the Best Table Game Product and Innovation for 2017 at G2E, is another game-changing product that will demonstrate its ability to connect to generators placed in remote areas of the booth. This innovative play station is playable directly from the bar's counter and allows guests to play up to four games simultaneously, including popular video poker games and traditional table games such as Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and more.
Interblock's Diamond Stadium configurations will show how casinos can easily transform a dealer-assisted Stadium into a fully automated Stadium, ensuring that the section is always active on the casino floor, and can generate constant revenue even without dealers. Interblock's Stadiums allow operators to maximize their floor space by adding dealer assist, automated or video generators, and even incremental play stations based on their growing needs.
The PULSE ARENA, which boosts the Stadium environment into a multi-sensory, social gaming experience, will make its second appearance at the ICE show. PULSE ARENA offers players the opportunity to play all of their favorite casino games from the comfort of a single play station with a live dealer, automated games, or in video format. Its multi-game functionality lets players switch seamlessly between as many as four games with the press of a button—without having to cash out, change machines, or even go back to the menu screen to select a different game.
The TRIO ETG island, a new product which made its debut at G2E Las Vegas 2016, will also be displayed at Interblock's booth. TRIO is made up of three 5-seater automated and/or video ETG products designed to transform any footprint, large or small, by combining and connecting popular games into one unit. At the show, the game will be configured with Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps and will offer two new progressives.
Finally, Interblock's newest automated Diamond Dual Roulette, which also debuted at G2E Las Vegas 2016, will showcase its simultaneous multi-play and multi-game functionality and 27" graphic user interfaces. This product allows players to play two Roulette games on the same screen, at the same time. The game is composed of two different colored Roulette generators that work in concert, allowing for no interruption in betting.

So here's something you rarely get to see… a freaking rain bomb, or the technical term "microburst"! Yeah… I've never heard of that term either, but it's actually really a thing.
Basically, it happens when hot, dry air rises and mixes with heavy rain-bearing clouds.
Most of the water droplets in the clouds evaporate, causing a swift cooling of the air around them… it then starts to sink.
The falling air pulls the remaining raindrops with it, creating one hell of a downpour.
Here's the video captured during the process… it's pretty cool to say the least.
If you thought that was crazy check out the one that fell over Phoenix this year (HERE)! It's even better.

Volume 12, Issue 52; December 26, 2012: The Paradox of Structure and Workplace Bullying
The Paradox of Structure and Workplace Bullying
Structures of all kinds — organizations, domains of knowledge, cities, whatever — are both enabling and limiting. To gain more of the benefits of structure, while avoiding their limits, it helps to understand this paradox and learn to recognize its effects.
An FBI SWAT team assists local law enforcement in New Orleans in the days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005. The storm disrupted government functions of all kinds, including law enforcement. Both civilians and law enforcement personnel exhibited lawless behavior, with the result that citizens lost significant day-to-day freedom. In a most unfortunate example of the Paradox of Structure, removal of structure led to loss of freedom. Photo courtesy U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The paradox of structure is that structures, of whatever kind, simultaneously enable and limit human activity. The paradox has long been recognized in the field of education. For example, at one time, decades ago, it was thought that playground fences inhibited children's creative play. But in fenceless playgrounds, it was found that students felt insecure, playing less creatively. They remained clumped in the center of the playground, afraid to use its open expanse. When the fences returned, the students expanded their play to use all of the playground space. The limiting structure of the fences paradoxically enabled a sense of freedom.
Because of the Paradox of Structure, removing or imposing structures can have surprising, unintended effects. At work, although we might expect structure removal to further organizational goals by enhancing productivity or creativity, it doesn't always do so. And imposing new structures doesn't always limit behavior in the ways we hope it will.
Consider workplace bullying. Targets of bullies typically assume that they can end their misery — or at least minimize it — by adjusting their own behavior. They hope that if they avoid or take care not to offend the bully, the bully will leave them alone. This hope is based on social structures built around one of the customs of decorum that most of us honor: courtesy begets courtesy, and offense can beget counter-offense. Such a relaxed social structure enables most of us to interact smoothly with each other, more or less. The structure enables our fair treatment of each other.
But it also limits our fair treatment of each other. Here's how.
Most bullies don't bully to exact revenge on their targets for supposed past offenses. Bullying behavior is pathological, and the pathology lies within the bully. Bullies might use some prior act of the target to justify their abusive behavior, but they are merely exploiting, as a defense, the reciprocal-courtesy social structure in which we all work together.
Ironically, Bullying in the workplace persists
because the workplace social
structure is weak enough to
enable bullying to thrivebullying in the workplace persists because the workplace social structure is weak enough to enable bullying to thrive. Probably out of respect for personal freedom, many workplace social structures tend not to impose constraints on personal behavior that are as tight as the constraints that address work processes. By avoiding constraints on personal behavior, workplace social structures leave room for bullies to maneuver. In the end, because bullying persists, relaxed workplace social structures create tighter constraints on people overall than would a more stringent regime that severely limited bullying behavior. Now emerging is a consensus that we can reduce the incidence of workplace bullying only by tightening constraints on personal behavior.
Manifestations of the Paradox of Structure are subtle. But once seen for what they are, we can usually find a better balance between freedom and constraint. Top Next Issue
Are you being targeted by a workplace bully? Do you know what to do to end the bullying? Workplace bullying is so widespread that a 2014 survey indicated that 27% of American workers have experienced bullying firsthand, that 21% have witnessed it, and that 72% are aware that bullying happens. Yet, there are few laws to protect workers from bullies, and bullying is not a crime in most jurisdictions. 101 Tips for Targets of Workplace Bullies is filled with the insights targets of bullying need to find a way to survive, and then to finally end the bullying.

So You Want the Bullying to End: II
If you're the target of a workplace bully, ending the bullying can be an elusive goal. Here are some guidelines for tactics to bring it to a close.
Strategies of Verbal Abusers
Verbal abuse at work has special properties, because it takes place in an environment in which verbal abuse is supposedly proscribed. Yet verbal abuse does happen at work. Here are three strategies abusers rely on to avoid disciplinary action.
Being "judgmental" is a stance most people recognize as transgressing beyond widely accepted social norms. But what's the harm in judging others? And why do so many people do it so often?
Entry Intimidation
Feeling intimidated about entering a new work situation can affect performance for both the new entrant and for the group as a whole. Four trouble patterns related to entry intimidation are inadvertent subversion, bullying, hat hanging, and defenses and sabotage.

Q: Symfony service attem i'm trying to configure services in symfony2:
services.yml
parameters:
    trendio.user_provider.class: Trendio\DelivBundle\TrendioUserProvider
    trendio.rest.class: Trendio\DelivBundle\Services\TrendioRest
    trendio.rest.backend_ip: 192.168.0.102
services:
    trendio_rest:
        class: %trendio.rest.class%
        arguments: [%trendio.rest.backend_ip%,@serializer,@buzz]

I got a error :
ClassNotFoundException: Attempted to load class "TrendioRest" from namespace "Trendio\DelivBundle\Services" in /var/www/deliv/app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.php line 3176. Do you need to "use" it from another namespace?

TrendioRest.php
<?php

namespace Trendio\DelivBundle\Services;

class TrendioRest { ... }

But,if i move class to top-level bundle namespace (Trendio\DelivBundle), service worked correctly. Why class doesn't load load from sub-folders namespaces?

A: It's best practise to use Symfony class
Since new Symfony 3.3 DI features you can simplify it like this:
parameters:
    trendio.rest.backend_ip: 192.168.0.102

services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true

    Trendio\DelivBundle\TrendioUserProvider: ~

        arguments: [%trendio.rest.backend_ip%]


(Italian) Did you know that in 1912 a Silver Ghost took part in the second edition of the Monte Carlo Rally, gaining fourth place overall, first in class and first in the Concours d'Elegance et Confort, anticipating the better known Alpine Trials and Spanish GP? That car was the first Rolls-Royce ordered, bought, and owned by an Italian. And it started a love affair between the "Best Car In the World" and the country best known for low, red, uncomfortable, and noisy sportscars for middle-aged teenagers.
That is the story told by this book. But there is a warning: you will have to learn—or already be able to read and understand—Italian in order to read it.
Back in the mid-1980s in Milan, the motoring bookseller-turned-publisher Giorgio Nada decided to publish a book on Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars for the his market. In that car-crazy country quite a few people were interested in these British marques but lacked the language skills needed to appreciate the existing books as most all were in English.
Searching for a book that covered, with a broad brush, the history of the two brands and also gave details of the various models produced, Nada ended up buying the rights for a book originally published in 1988 in German by Halwart Schrader. Encountering difficulties with the translation and editing of the book, he contacted his best customer for Rolls-Royce books, a chap who himself had purchased his first books when only 15 years old but who had gone on collecting books, memorabilia and a few cars as well. That person, Marco Makaus, had already translated and edited several Jaguar books for Nada. Makaus worked hard on the Schrader book, adding information to some sketchy bits and inserting additional details making the Italian version, published in 1989, more complete than the German and English ones.
As the 1989 edition had long been out of print, Nada decided to publish a new one as certainly changes had occurred, including the separation of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques and new ownership of each by two different German automotive groups, plus the successful launch of new products. Meantime Marco Makaus too had embarked upon new ventures in the automotive industry. Since 2004 he had been working for Rolls-Royce, first as European regional director and was now running the two Italian dealerships. Nada approached him about the new book and he accepted on the condition that he be allowed to develop new material, and tell the story of the relationship between Rolls-Royce and Italy.
The new book starts with an analysis of the first Italian Rolls-Royce customers, and the impact the cars had on the upper class of the prewar years. Next attention turns to the work of Italian coachbuilders on Rolls-Royce chassis. The book is enriched by sections telling of the lesser-known aspects of Rolls-Royce history, such as the Founders, the aero engines, and the Schneider Cup, the Rolls-Royce-powered record cars and boats, the industrial engines and other products.
The events of 1998-2000, when Vickers divested itself of Rolls-Royce and Bentley and VW and BMW divided them, based on Makaus's industry knowledge and his complete collection of press clippings of the period, throws light on the industry's personalities and power games that are generally hidden from view. The above comprises approximately one-third of the book.
The influence of Italian styling—right from the horse's mouth—has Leonardo Fioravanti, responsible for the relationship between Rolls-Royce and Pininfarina, contributing that chapter on the firm's seminal, and controversial even now, 1970s Camargue.
This edition further benefits from photographs and documents Makaus assembled over the last three decades, many of which show Rolls-Royce motorcars in Italian settings. For most the author has been able to identify the cars by chassis number, thanks to the help of books by renowned listologists such as André Blaize, John Fasal, and Bernard King. All models up to the 2009 model year are described. The photos are uniformly well reproduced and supplemented by period ads, coachwork drawings, and press clippings.
Appended are listings of the three international Rolls-Royce clubs and a table of retail prices in Italy 1956-1988. Even if you have any of the previous editions of the book in any of the languages in which it appeared, this new Italian edition takes it to a new level. If you don't know Italian, find yourself a patient Italian-speaking friend or just look at the pictures. They "tell" a slightly different story to the one we are used to.
Our Italian-speaking friends, who spent countless evenings looking at books written in a tongue foreign to them, will for once feel vindicated.

How Do Big Banks Trade the Forex Market?
How do big banks trade the Forex market? Forex trading is all about exchanging one currency for another countries' currency. It is the biggest trading financial market in the world and used to be only accessible by big banks and corporations who had the huge amounts of capital to speculate on currency fluctuations. Trillions of dollar exchange hands daily on this market.
1. What is the Purpose of Trading the Forex Market?
The purpose of currencies trading is not necessarily for profit. It is so that international businesses can transact and also as a way for banks and other institutions to hedge themselves against the possibility of currency debasement. However today, any small investor can invest and trade in Forex because of an increasing number of online brokers offering better and better terms for small investors today.
2. How Do You Make Money from the Forex Markets?
In order to profit from this type of trading activity, one needs to have extremely good discipline. The trader needs to understand what causes a currency to gain or lose against other currencies and use this knowledge to buy or sell just before the anticipated move.
3. So How Do Big Banks Trade the Forex Market?
Banks are able to make money consistently because they know generally how different currency pairs move during different times of the day. Currencies are being traded 24 hours a day consisting of the Asian, European and North American sessions. Moving from session to session can sometimes generate highly predictable changes in volatility and volume in specific currency pairs. This knowledge is used by big banks to capitalize and make money from currency fluctuations.

Seminaries Start Slavery Reparation Funds Amid Calls For National Program
By Tom Gjelten • Oct 29, 2019
Originally published on October 29, 2019 11:39 am
How to compensate for America's original sin - the issue of reparations has made its way into the Democratic primary and into the broader culture. Several of the presidential candidates say they would support a commission to study the matter. And two Protestant seminaries, this fall, announced plans to create reparations funds in recognition of their own ties to slavery. NPR's Tom Gjelten says these schools that train clergy see it as a confession of past sins.
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey was founded in part by people who used slave labor or profited from it. The seminary president, Craig Barnes, says, in consideration of that history, the school will spend more than a million dollars a year through a reparations fund.
M CRAIG BARNES: About half of that's going to scholarships, also curricular changes, fully funding a center for black church studies.
GJELTEN: Also this fall, Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria announced its own somewhat smaller reparations initiative. Some of the money would go to descendants of the slaves who actually built the school. The idea of reparations does remain somewhat controversial, however, at least as exemplified in these cases. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville last spring rejected a petition from some Baptist ministers and former faculty calling for a reparations fund. That school's president, Albert Mohler, says if an institution just sets aside scholarships for African American students, it's not really paying reparations.
ALBERT MOHLER: You're taking a percentage of your own funds, and then you are designating that for scholarship assistance to be paid to your own institution.
GJELTEN: Mohler says the seminary, in that case, is simply prioritizing black students for scholarship assistance. His seminary last year acknowledged its own extensive connections to slavery. Partly to make up for that legacy, it's now giving financial assistance to African American students in its doctoral program not unlike the assistance other institutions are offering their black students. It just doesn't call it reparations. At Princeton, President Barnes says terminology can be a bit of a hang-up.
BARNES: We're not afraid of the word reparations, but we prefer repair. Like, how do we repair the legacy that we've inherited?
GJELTEN: A broader question is whether the legacy of slavery can be addressed by individual institutions taking steps on their own.
WILLIAM DARITY: The case-by-case approach can't encompass the full range of effects of slavery in producing racial inequality in the United States.
GJELTEN: William Darity is a professor of public policy and African American studies at Duke University. He has written extensively on reparations. A focus on individual perpetrators and individual victims, Darity says, obscures how slavery in the United States was officially authorized.
DARITY: And so I'm convinced that what we have to do is treat the federal government as the culpable party.
GJELTEN: Culpable because laws and court decisions provided a legal framework for slavery, segregation and racial injustice generally.
DARITY: But also because of its implicit approval of these kinds of practices by its failure to intervene.
GJELTEN: At Princeton Seminary, President Barnes says an institution's establishment of a reparations fund is no substitute for a national program. The country needs to have a conversation about this, he says. And he says his school is happy to participate in it.

Q: How to show loader on custom checkout page in Magento 2? I have created some steps in magento 2 on saving the data an ajax is fired.
I want to show loader between start and complete process how to i achieve that.
My JS file for saving the data is :
define(

     * @param simpleNote
     */
    $('body').trigger('processStart');
    save: function (simpleNote) {
        if (simpleNote) {
            var quoteId = quote.getQuoteId();
            var url;

            url = urlBuilder.createUrl('/carts/mine/set-simple-note', {});

            var payload = {
                cartId: quoteId,
                simpleNote: {
                    simpleNote: simpleNote
                }
            };

            if (!payload.simpleNote.simpleNote) {

                return true;
            }

            var result = true;

            $.ajax({
                url: urlFormatter.build(url),
                data: JSON.stringify(payload),
                global: false,
                contentType: 'application/json',
                type: 'PUT',
                async: false
            }).done(
                function (response) {
                    result = true;

            );

            return result;

Q: Why Linux VmSize VmData is larger than estimation from code? I want to know how many memory will take when the code is running.
I sum all memory used in my code and use GCC to convert to an executable bin file.
When I run the bin file, and use cat/proc/$PID/status, the VmSize VmData is much larger than expected. Even if remove all code but only sleep, the result still is the same,
VmPeak:    12816 kB
VmSize:    12816 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmPin:         0 kB
VmHWM:       964 kB
VmRSS:       964 kB
VmData:      204 kB
VmStk:       136 kB
VmExe:        56 kB
VmLib:      2100 kB
VmPTE:        48 kB
VmPMD:        12 kB
VmSwap:        0 kB

*

*Why the memory is so large even if no data is in my code? the data I estimate in code should be 40K at most, but VmData is 204K, much larger...

*Why VmData is the same no matter I add #if 0 in code or not? Why not change smaller when added? At least should be 30K smaller I think...

*how to get memory my code is using exactly? Any other ways to test?

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    #if 0
    extern int ed25519_getpub(unsigned char* public_key, const unsigned char* private_key);

                    const unsigned char* private_key,
                    const unsigned char* msg, const unsigned long msg_len); // use a large static global 30K array
    extern int ed25519_verify(const unsigned char* signature,
                      const unsigned char* public_key,
                      const unsigned char* msg, const unsigned long msg_len); // use the same 30K array

    int ret = 0;
    unsigned char public_key[32];
    unsigned char private_key[32] = "123456789ABC";

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
    {
        #if 0
        //compute public key
        ret = ed25519_getpub( public_key, private_key );
        if (0 != ret)
        {
            ret = 1;
        }

        printf("public_key = %s, ret = %d \r\n ", public_key, ret);

        ret = ed25519_sign( signature, private_key, msg, strlen(msg) );
        if (0 != ret)
        {
            ret = 2;
        }

        printf("signature = %s, ret = %d, \r\n", signature, ret);

        //verify sign
        ret = ed25519_verify( signature, public_key, msg, strlen(msg) );
        if (0 != ret)
        {
            ret = 3;
        }

        printf("ed25519_verify ret = %d, \r\n ", ret);
        #endif

        if (0 == (i % 5 ))
        {
            sleep(10);
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

A: that mass of code boils down to: (because most of it is eliminated via the `'#if 0' ... '#endif' sequences)
#include <unistd.h> // for the 'sleep()' function

int main( void )
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
    {
        if ( 0 == (i % 5 ) )
        {
            sleep(10);
        }
    }
}

There's a lot of buzz online about this mysterious project called Paper that is being finalized deep in the bowels of Facebook. As with other mysterious projects that may disrupt existing layouts and user experiences, there's a lot of anxiety about Paper. This is very understandable, after all, Facebook's time line has gone through many different changes. In fact, it's used to be called Timeline, you remember that? Also, the way Facebook's top pages and graphics were presented used to be different. The truth is, change is the name of the game when it comes to Facebook. A lot of these anxiety regarding Paper has something to do with the fact that it may impact how people make money off Facebook. Let's face it, a lot of people makes millions of dollars off Facebook. I'm not talking about official sponsors. I'm talking about spammers and non-spammers who use Facebook as a marketing platform. Be that as it may, there's going to be changes with Paper, at least, on the mobile end. Why is this a big deal? First and foremost, most of the people that access Facebook are now accessing it through a mobile device. If there is any changes regarding how people interact Facebook using a mobile gadget, it may impact people's bottom lines. Serious talk here.
What is Paper? Paper is basically a simplified version or if you prefer, a streamlined version of Facebook's news feed. It's supposed to be mobile-friendly and less cluttered than Facebook's web version. A part of the reason Facebook has not really fully leveraged its mobile experience into a money making machine is the fact that there's still a lot of this legacy hangover from past designs. Paper is poised to be a dramatic engineering of how Facebook will appear on mobile devices. As you can well imagine a lot of people are going to be watching this very carefully. The big difference that Paper brings to the table is the fact that you can look at content from your own social network which is well and good, however, you can also use a news wire. You can take information from different feeds and use Paper as your one-stop content source. This can be huge. Make no mistake about it. It basically turns Facebook from a mere gossip center into a real news center.
Of course, just because the people behind this project are dreaming big, it doesn't mean it will pan out. Remember, there has been several Facebook projects in the past that fell flat on their face. Google is known for launching and moth-balling projects. So, just because there's a lot hype and a lot of fear regarding this mobile app, does not necessarily mean it will revolutionize Facebook. Still, from initial reports, this is going to be a big one.

FOG Tune Lyrics: Soldier's Joy
If you've played in a FOG gig before, you've observed the designated emcee occasionally introducing a tune by citing its little known lyrics, as a means of adding a little "color commentary" to our performances. We thought it might be of interest to feature some of those lyrics. In honor of Memorial Day, we feature Soldier's Joy.
"Soldier's Joy" is a fiddle tune, classified as a reel or country dance. It is popular in the American fiddle canon, touted as "an American classic" but traces its origin to Scottish and Irish fiddle traditions. It has been played in Scotland for over 200 years, and Robert Burns used it for the first song of his cantata 'The Jolly Beggars'. According to documentation at the United States Library of Congress, it is "one of the oldest and most widely distributed tunes" and is rated in the top ten most-played old time fiddle tunes. According to the Illinois Humanities Center, the tune dates as early as the 1760s. In spite of its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, the term "soldier's joy" has a much darker meaning than is portrayed by the tune. This term eventually came to refer to the combination of whiskey, beer, and morphine used by Civil War soldiers.
Gimme some of that Soldier's Joy, you know what I mean'
I don't want to hurt no more my leg is turnin' green
Twenty-five cents for whiskey, twenty-five cents for beer
Twenty-five cents for morphine, get me out of here
I'm my momma's pride and joy (3×)
Sing you a song called the soldier's joy(1)

His first half-hour is occupied in trying to decide whether to wear his light suit with a cane and drab billycock, or his black tails with a chimney-pot hat and his new umbrella.
And they used to wear hooped petticoats of such enormous size that it was quite a journey to walk round them.
She need not wear it if you object, for I know we promised to let you do what you liked with the poor dear for a year.
Thursday was the day of the ball; and on Wednesday morning Fanny, still unable to satisfy herself as to what she ought to wear, determined to seek the counsel of the more enlightened, and apply to Mrs.
I must wear it more often than I have done of late, although it may not be the best of my collection.
I don't think I like it only because it's so pretty, but I want to wear it as the girl in the story wore her bracelet, to remind me of something.
They would be just the thing to take a long walk in, for they could not wear out.
No, Button-Bright must wear his fox head, and he'll be sure to love it dearly as soon as he gets used to it.


How long can you drive? Driving the car is a skill, which requires good visual concentration and motor coordination. Why? Concentration to pay attention to traffic. Concentration to manage clutch and gear settings adjust to the road conditions, when adjusting the speed of the vehicle. Of course this applies if using a vehicle with a manual transmission. Then what about drivers who have difficulty with manual transmission? Thankfully now many are using automatic transmission. You just find out how to drive a car automatic, so no trouble driving it.
1. The car automatic will not live its engine if the position of the lever is not in P.
2. When experiencing congestion on the road and the engine off, the car still stay. Not jumping as if using a manual transmission, when switching the lever to neutral.
3. The car does not retreat when the engine dies, so passengers remain calm.
4. Concentration when driving enough on the monitor under the steering wheel, which indicates the speed of the vehicle running, indicating the position of transmission gear, lights, fuel tank and engine temperature.
P (park) = for parking position, or can be used on streets to stop which is expected to be long e.g. 10 minutes. Make sure the transmission gear lever is in position P, when the car is in a state of stopping.
R (return) = used for backward.
N (neutral) = used if the streets are jammed until they stop so the driver is not tired. When N needs to be assisted with hand brake so the vehicle actually stopped. In this position the foot release from the brake pedal and gas.
D (drive) = forward. This drive consists of D1, D2 and D3. You can use D2 and D1 if the vehicle's speed is low.
Make sure the lever is in position P, step on the brake pedal and turn on the engine. Allow a few moments, to make the car engine hot enough. Then point the lever to D1 if you want to advance, or to R if you want to step back, while stepping on the brake pedal. Slowly, lift your foot from the foothold on the brakes for the vehicle to move. Only then the gas stepped on to increase its speed. Slide the lever to D1, D2 or D3 at the desired speed. When on the road uphill, slide the lever to position L. Familiarize step on the brake pedal, when shifting the lever.
One of the advantages of the car now, is the door lock that automatically works when the lever is shifted to D. Likewise for setting the position of the side mirror (rear-view) can be adjusted through the buttons located around the driver's door. Another sophistication of this automated car now has several buttons mounted on the steering fingers, for example to set up a radio / TV / Audio complete with volume buttons.
How, interested to have an automatic cars? It does not seem to be hard to drive, is it? After learning how to drive an automatic car, do you want to change cars? Well, the more sophisticated the technology the easier it is to drive it, the higher its sense of security. However, we still pray, self-control must still be strong even in a hurry.

14. November 2017 Interview
Chris McCall about his career, CEO title, drone industry and lessons learned
Chris McCall is the CEO of the Zurich-based startup Fotokite which makes drones for aerial photography. The editor of the goal asked Chris about his career, drone industry, his CEO title, and lessons learned.
Hi Chris! You have a product which is an eye catcher when you present it in front of the audience. But how do you sell it?
We focus on B2B markets like News Broadcast and Public Safety and our first sales have primarily been made directly to our customers, which include CNN, BBC, AFP, Tribune Media, and many more. With a new product category like ours, it's important to start off with close relationships to your early adopters. This helps you get key insight into their use case and feedback on what they want next.
You are originally from San Diego. And you studied there at the University of California. Right? Then you worked for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for some years. How did it happen that you moved to Zurich?
That's correct. My fiancée and I were looking for a place to move in Europe with a strong robotics scene (for me) and great environmental engineering (for her).
After a few phone calls and looking at the aerial robotics scene in detail, it was an absolute no-brainer to choose Zurich. Anna started a PhD here, and I met Sergei Lupashin who was looking to get a company started from his PhD work on tethered drones. Looking back on the decision-making process now, I wouldn't have changed a thing!
OK. You were a member of Engineers Without Borders (UCSD). Is it like Doctors Without Borders? Why did you join it?
Yes, similar in many respects. I've always been lucky enough to travel quite a bit throughout my life and along the way, I found the experiences that stick with me regularly are the memories of interacting with people even if it's just through hand gestures and smiles. EWB gives you the chance to work together with communities around the world, people you'd otherwise never meet, and help them design and implement something meaningful that improves their day-to-day lives. Seemed like an easy choice to get involved.
And since 2014, you are Head of Speakers at TEDxZurich. I suppose this is an exciting experience. Would you tell us how to tell a story which can have a wow effect?
How you tell the story is definitely important, but the biggest wow effect always comes from the content of your story. I find that the most successful talks are always delivered by people who are genuinely excited about what they are doing. Such excitement is contagious and naturally grabs and holds the attention of most audiences.
I help to choose speakers and select them based on their life's work – it's the hard part. Making it sound good on stage is the easy part.
Good. Then in 2014 you started working at Fotokite as a Product Lead. How did it happen that you joined Fotokite?
I moved to Zurich because of the strong robotics scene and met Sergei Lupashin at the moment he was spinning off Fotokite from ETHZ. Within the first week we met, I also watched him giving a TED talk up in Berlin. The technology looked promising and he's an absolute thought leader in the field. Natural talent is paramount for a startup's success and I felt lucky to join.
Now, you are the CEO of Fotokite. What does it mean to you? What are the goals the CEO of Fotokite should pursue?
I don't put much importance into the title itself but the goals we have as a team are certainly something critical. Like any startup, razor-sharp focus on delivering value to your customers is a must. Agility or flexibility is key, but a dedicated company mission should be a strong foundation for a company's core team to jump on board for. As CEO, I'm excited to keep pushing for solutions in the markets that we get excited about as a team.
By the way, who are the people behind Fotokite? Are you looking for someone right now?
We are a tech-heavy team, lots of specialization in controls, electronics, and mechanical engineering. We're also a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to backgrounds: the nine of us come from eight different countries. This is a great thing in my opinion. We'll always have something to learn from each other.
When it comes to high-level talent, we're always on the lookout. Soon we'll be making our first dedicated sales and business development hires, but a big part of Fotokite being founded in Switzerland is the availability of high-caliber technical talent from ETHZ, EPFL, and UZH. If someone applies in with a strong track record and an obvious fit with our team – it's smart to try to find some room.
Now about drones… I have the impression people will get their parcels delivered by drones soon. What is going on on the market right now? Which are the main sectors you see a product-market-fit? And why did you decide to go into aerial photography?
Wide-spread mail delivery is actually one of the drone applications you will need to wait longest for. Right now, most of the commercial drones are being used in controlled environments, as in far away from densely populated areas and for limited amounts of time.
At Fotokite we're trying to change that completely- we think that our special combination of safe autonomous flight, hours of flight time, and accountability can unlock a class of drones that are used regularly in cities and around crowds of people. We focus on the markets that need what we offer, like news broadcasters and public safety teams. These are natural fits for something that flies uninterrupted for hours at a time, doesn't require an operator to focus on flying, and brings added levels of safety compared to traditional drones.
In your pitch at Swiss Startup Days you said that the company has already made its first million in sales. And I go back to my first question: How do you establish sales within a startup?
We focused on developing relationships with the industry leaders in our target market. Starting with Broadcast News, we reached out directly to BBC, CNN, AFP, and Tribune Media. We listened to their feedback and built something just for them.
Once we were ready to deliver our first generation of products, we showed the technology and customers placed their orders. This was a good sign that we were heading in the right direction.
If you look back what are the most important lessons learned within the last five years?
Focus. Know your market and focus on delivering value there. Making your key customers happy is the most important thing to do as an early stage company. They will become your best sources of information on the market, your best references for future investors, and great torch bearers for other customers to follow.
OK. And what is the plan for the next five years?
Show that the Fotokite as a technology is ready for real-world use in our target markets by delivering our 2nd generation of flying platforms and supporting those key early adopters in each of our target markets. Once we've done this, we will be armed with the market knowledge needed to scale into a significantly sized company and solutions provider. That would be exciting!
Fotokite Pro
The Fotokite is a spin-off of ETH Zurich's Flying Machine Arena and was founded in 2014 by Sergei Lupashin.

This leaflet answers some common questions about Gabapentin AN.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Gabapentin AN against the benefits it is expected to have for you.
Gabapentin AN is used to control epilepsy in stabilised patients.
Gabapentin AN is also used to treat neuropathic pain, a type of pain caused by damage to the nerves.
Gabapentin AN belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants.
Gabapentin AN also has pain relieving effects.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Gabapentin AN has been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed it in addition to your current therapy when your current treatment is no longer working as well.
Gabapentin AN is not recommended for use in children. The safety and effectiveness of Gabapentin AN in these age groups have not been established.
Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. Your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits involved with you.
If you have not told your doctor or pharmacist about any of the above, tell them before you start taking Gabapentin AN.
Some medicines may be affected by Gabapentin AN, or may affect how well it works. You may need different amounts of your medicine, or you may need to take different medicines.
Your doctor may recommend that you start with a low dose of gabapentin and slowly increase the dose to the lowest amount needed to control your condition.
People with kidney problems and/or undergoing haemodialysis may need smaller doses.
Note: Gabapentin AN is available as 600 mg and 800 mg unscored tablets and should not be broken into half.
Swallow Gabapentin AN whole with a full glass of water.
If you are taking Gabapentin AN three times a day, do not allow more than 12 hours between doses.
Continue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you to. This medicine helps control your condition, but do not cure it. Therefore you must take your medicine every day, even if you feel well.
Immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone Australia 13 11 26 or go to Accident and Emergency at the nearest hospital, if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much Gabapentin AN.
If you are about to be started on any new medicine, remind your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking Gabapentin AN.
Tell your doctor immediately if you have any thoughts of suicide or self-harm, any unusual changes in mood or behaviour, or show signs of depression. Some people being treated with anti-epileptics such as Gabapentin AN have had thoughts of harming or killing themselves.
If you or someone you know is demonstrating these warning signs of suicide while taking Gabapentin AN, contact your doctor or a mental health professional right away.
Do not take Gabapentin AN to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.
Do not stop taking your medicine or lower the dosage without checking with your doctor. Stopping Gabapentin AN suddenly, may cause unwanted effects or make your condition worse. Your doctor will slowly reduce your dose before you can stop taking it completely.
Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how Gabapentin AN affects you. As with other anticonvulsant medicines, this medicine may cause dizziness, light-headedness, tiredness and drowsiness in some people.
Make sure you know how you react to Gabapentin AN before you drive a car, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or light-headed. If this occurs do not drive. If you drink alcohol, dizziness or light-headedness may be worse.
Children should not ride a bike, climb trees or do anything else that could be dangerous if they are feeling drowsy or sleepy. This medicine may cause drowsiness, dizziness or sleepiness in some people and affect alertness.
Be careful when drinking alcohol while you are taking this medicine. Combining Gabapentin AN and alcohol can make you more sleepy, dizzy or light-headed. Your doctor may suggest you avoid alcohol while you are being treated with this medicine.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Gabapentin AN. All medicines can have side effects.
It can be difficult to tell whether side effects are the result of taking Gabapentin AN, effects of your condition or side effects of other medicines you may be taking. For this reason it is important to tell your doctor of any change in your condition.
If you get any side effects, do not stop taking Gabapentin AN without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
The side effects in the above lists marked* have been specifically reported in children taking Gabapentin tablets.
Do not store Gabapentin AN or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink.
Do not leave Gabapentin AN on a window sill or in the car. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines.
If your doctor or pharmacist tells you to stop taking this medicine or expiry date has passed, ask your pharmacist what to do with any medicine that is left over.

Denver native Stephen Trimble fell in love with the West from the back seat of the family car. On summer field trips with his mother and geologist father, Trimble developed a fine eye for red-rock country and the light that filled unspoiled valleys and vistas. He's since produced gorgeous photography books and insightful natural and human histories. Now, examining a single moment on a single, no-longer-unspoiled patch of land, he's written possibly his most comprehensive book.
That patch of land is home to the Snowbasin ski development on Mount Ogden, Utah. The moment in question is the men's downhill race during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Wondering what it would "take" to bring a racer to the finish line, Trimble launches into a complicated, often maddening tale of a property dispute that resembles a thousand similar battles in today's West. Billionaire developer Earl Holding, the 63rd richest man in the country, manipulates U.S. Forest Service officials and politicians to buy public land for a ski resort that will host the Olympics. Holding's power and cunning trump the wishes of Ogden Valley residents and others who want to preserve the shrinking open spaces of the West.
It's an old story, but Trimble tells it in a new way, avoiding simplistic Good-Guy-vs.-Bad-Guy characterizations. You may never come across a more fair-minded yet critical portrayal of a wealthy developer. Earl Holding loves his work and wants to build the best-run resorts possible. One U.S. Forest Service official who helped Holding most likely did so because of his own love of skiing, rather than for darker reasons or out of simple naiveté. And when Trimble buys his own swatch of unspoiled land near Capitol Reef National Park, he has to acknowledge that, "Just like Earl, I am about to hire earth movers to reshape this land to suit my own needs . . . "
Ultimately, Trimble ends on a hopeful note. Thinking back on Earl Holding, then considering his own occasional run-ins with his new Utah neighbors, he concludes that civic health and the best interests of the land require us to "start the conversation before a crisis." How best to bargain for what's left of Eden? Keep everyone talking with open hearts and open minds.
