Q: How to flip a User Control added in a picturebox by 180 degrees? I'm adding a control to a picturebox. This control is a component, precisely it's a toggle switch posted here. I'd like this control to be vertical and not horizontal .
So, since objects can't be rotated or flipped, I found a way to flip the picturebox image with:
PictureBox1.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone)
    PictureBox1.Refresh()

The error I'm getting at RunTime is:

System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox.Image.get returned Nothing

Endeed the control is not an image so is there a way to flip the control inside of the picturebox by 180 degrees?
Also, You think there is a way to know when the value of the toggle switch is on or off?
Thanks

A: As already mentioned above, extend the control to have it drawn either horizontally or vertically.

Having players who set the program's single-season rushing record or lead all of the NCAA in career sacks are vital pieces in building a collegiate football program that can contend for the national championship every season. What sets the truly elite teams apart, however, is the ability to replace those iconic players.
The Slippery Rock football team has welcomed the newest batch of Rock football players into its midst with 27 players signing National Letters of Intent on Wednesday's 2019 National Signing Day.
"We signed 27 guys. Our primary need was a bunch of young offensive linemen. A lot of skill guys but a lot in the secondary. I'm very excited, and since I have been a head coach, it's our best class in terms of guys who are very good football players," said Slippery Rock coach Shawn Lutz.
Despite losing star halfback Wes Hills to the NFL Draft, The Rock's offense is bolstered by the return of junior quarterback Roland Rivers III. Rivers rapidly became one of the top passers in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
Jermaine Wynn Jr. and Henry Litwin, a pair of talented redshirt sophomores, and redshirt junior Mike Merhaut all return to The Rock as River's top receiving targets from last season.
The offensive line figures to be a work in progress following the losses of Colten Raabe and Steve Gaviglia to graduation.
The defense, despite losing star defensive back Kyle Hall, will return a strong, young core headlined by junior linebacker Brad Zaffram, redshirt sophomore linebacker Tim Vernick and sophomore linebacker Trysten McDonald.
Junior kicker Jake Chapla, the best kicker in program history, returns to headline a strong special teams' group.
With much of the first team offense and defense returning next season, the biggest position battles will come from the players whose relationship on the field can make or break a team's offensive success: the linemen and the running backs.
"Offensive line wise, I think the guys who come in and compete will be Eric Festa, who started at Concord as a true freshman, and Anthony Rebar from Belle Vernon. Austin Swink from Lake Norman in North Carolina too," Lutz said.
Eric Festa, a transfer from Concord University with three years of eligibility left, started 10 games for the Mountain Lions and has the potential to be a day one starter for The Rock. Austin Swink from Lake Norman High School and Anthony Rebar from Belle Vernon High School are two high impact freshmen that Lutz feels can see the field next season.
Sam Enslen from Butler High School, Dylan Vaniel—who was a long snapper in high school—from McKeesport High School and Yuriy Hryckowian from Central Bucks-South High School round out the talented offensive line corps.
Now that Hills has departed the program for the NFL, the running back committee will see two more names enter the fray for the running back battle.
Seton Hill transfer Cinque Sweeting, a 6'0" 180-pound running back, compiled 837 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns as a redshirt sophomore. Incoming freshman Avante McKenzie from Aliquippa High School brings gaudy statistics and big game experience from his time in high school.
Bolstering an already loaded receiving core, The Rock brought in eight wide receivers and a tight end.
Converted quarterback Kyle Sheetz from Conneaut Area High School and Penn State transfer Brandon Clark—son of former NFL player Bruce Clark—both stand taller than 6'3" and weigh more than 195 pounds. Lacking a tall vertical threat last season, the two incoming players unlock a new wrinkle in the Green and White's playbook.
Deoveon Crute from Aliquippa High School and Cohen Russell from State College High School each bring elements that will allow for the chance at seeing the field as true freshmen. Russell—the state runner-up in the 100-yard dash in 2018—has the kind of speed unseen before at The Rock, said Lutz.
Dante Flati from West Allegheny High School, Billy Kersten from Norwin High School, RayQuin Glover from South Fayette High School and Cameron Marett from Wilmington High School round out the wide receiver commits.
Colin Kadlick from Deer Lakes High School is the lone tight end recruit this year and should expect to see the field, said Lutz.
On the defensive side of the ball, the defensive backs got a boost with a couple of transfers. Coming from PSAC-West rival Indiana University (Pa.), Nazir James and Erie Community College transfer Sam Fairley will be given looks to start at cornerback and safety, respectively.
Selvin Haynes from Upper Dublin High School—an East-West All-Star game participant in the spring—has Lutz excited for his potential as the future of the secondary. Devin Sims from McKeesport High School, Jalen Dangerfield from Hartford Tech and Dashaun Wright from Imani Christian Academy complete the secondary ranks.
For the front seven, two defensive linemen and two linebackers signed their Letters of Intent for the Green and White.
Jevon Lang, the 6'2" 255-pound defensive end, was the top-ranked player on The Rock's defensive big board. An astonishing 32 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and four forced fumbles as a senior attracted the attention from The Rock. Eric Oblak from Belle Vernon High School rounds out the defensive line commits.
Despite not losing a player that had been in The Rock's recruiting plans, Lang was the one player that Lutz worried would not put the pen to the paper.
"A kid named Javon Lang. A damn good football player and probably the best I've had here since Marcus Martin," Lutz said.
PIAA District 10, Region 6's Co-Player of the Year Chris Mohra from Conneaut Area High School racked up over 2,000 all-purpose yards as a running back in high school but will transition to the defensive side of the ball with the Green and White. Cody Ross from Freedom Area High School brings valued leadership to the locker room, Lutz said.
Fresh off an 11 win season and a PSAC-West title, Lutz credited the program's success in recent seasons along with a stellar recruiting staff in bringing in one of the best recruiting classes in the conference.
With Rock football now fully reloaded for the 2019 campaign, looking ahead is inevitable and Lutz looks forward to being underestimated again.
"I hope they pick us third or fourth like they did last year," said Lutz with a smile.

AUDIO FIDELITY IMPRINT REENERGIZES AUDIOPHILE GENRE
WITH 24K GOLD AND VIRGIN VINYL REISSUES
Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street and Blues for Allah Get Deluxe 180-Gram
Pure Virgin Vinyl Treatment as Label Ramps Up Release Schedule
LPs Arrive in Stores on June 7th
In a move sure to delight audiophiles and collectors of classic pop music albums, the Audio Fidelity label will reissue of two classic Grateful Dead albums on 180-gram pure virgin vinyl, in limited numbered edition gatefold packages on June 7, according to label president Marshall Blonstein. The band's 1975 BLUES FOR ALLAH and 1978's SHAKEDOWN STREET will be available from both online and brick-and-mortar retail outlets as the latest offerings in Audio Fidelity's continuing program of audiophile reissues.
Audio Fidelity, which Blonstein founded in 2002 after leaving the pioneering DCC Compact Classics label that he started in 1986, has become synonymous with high-quality album reissues geared toward the audiophile market. Since 2009, Audio Fidelity has reissued some of the best-known and most significant pop and rock titles in both 24Karat Gold CD and 180-gram virgin vinyl editions. Continuing the policy Blonstein established at DCC, all Audio Fidelity titles are produced from original sources and feature the original artwork. Among the imprint's growing catalog are key recordings by Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel, the Beach Boys, Rod Stewart, the Doors, Cat Stevens, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt.
The two Grateful Dead reissues occupy special places in the fabled San Francisco band's history. BLUES FOR ALLAH, originally released in September of 1975, was the third of only four albums issued on the group's Grateful Dead Records imprint. While the LP's best remembered cuts, "Franklin's Tower" and "The Music Never Stopped," remained in the band's concert set list for some 20 years, the title track—the first part of an ambitious suite—was performed only a few times in 1975 before being retired from the band's repertoire. BLUES FOR ALLAH reached No. 12 on Billboard's album chart; from the LP, "The Music Never Stopped" was the Dead's highest charting single since "Uncle John's Band."
First issued in November 1978 on Arista Records, SHAKEDOWN STREET was the Dead's tenth album, its eighth to go Gold. Produced by Little Feat founder Lowell George, it was an eclectic collection that featured updated versions of venerable live Dead favorites ("Good Lovin,'" "All New Minglewood Blues") and also introduced songs that would become staples of the band's concerts for years to come, most notably "I Need a Miracle" and "Fire on the Mountain." The lighthearted SHAKEDOWN STREET cover illustration was done by renowned underground-comics artist Gilbert Shelton, famous for The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Wonder Wart-hog strips. The album remained on the Billboard chart for close to six months, peaking at No. 41.
The Grateful Dead vinyl reissues represent Audio Fidelity's expanded vinyl release schedule, which has recently included titles such as Cheap Trick's IN COLOR, Laura Nyro's FIRST SONGS, Harry Nilsson's A LITTLE TOUCH OF SCHMILSSON IN THE NIGHT and Kate Bush's HOUNDS OF LOVE. While the label often issues a title in both Gold-CD and virgin-vinyl formats, Blonstein admits some of the impetus for producing the latter comes from the renewed interest in vinyl LP's. According to the R.I.A.A., vinyl sales surged 26% in 2010 over the previous year.
lonstein is bullish on the public's appetite for audiophile reissues of classic albums, and Audio Fidelity's capacity to satisfy it. "The traditional music retail stores as we once knew them are gone," he continues. "At the same time, there's a strong traditional 'unique' retail base of retailers that has found a way to do more than survive; they're thriving. When CDs first came out, they were unique. It was a new format. Vinyl and cassettes starting declining rapidly in sales. The uniqueness and the improved sound quality made the CD an almost instant success, but it lacked the emotional connection consumers experienced with vinyl. The resurgence of vinyl shows us that connection is being made again ... the consumer likes to hold a vinyl LP, to study the artwork. It's now become a very hip format again, and when you see consumers shopping for vinyl at stores, you see them spending more time looking to buy music in general. It's obvious that there is an audience for top-quality remastered CD and vinyl pressings."
Marshall Blonstein's professional career comprises a virtual history of the modern music and entertainment business. The Los Angeles native started in the business in 1965 as a promotion executive at Epic and ABC Records. As a principal of Ode Records, he helped make Carole King's Tapestry one of the best-selling albums of all time and built two of the longest running cult-film franchises in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke. Blonstein subsequently served as president of Island Records, working with artists such as Bob Marley and Steve Winwood, and, in 1986, founded DCC Compact Classics to take advantage of the technical advances offered in the digital medium. DCC quickly grew into the premiere audiophile imprint, issuing sets by Elvis Presley, the Eagles, Doors, Frank Sinatra and many others.
Upon leaving DCC in 2002, Blonstein created Audio Fidelity, which has assumed a similarly prestigious perch among imprints serving the audiophile and music-collecting communities. In addition to its audiophile catalog, Audio Fidelity, based in Camarillo, California, also releases compilation CDs, a variety of reissues and DVDs, such as Soupy Sales, Elvis Presley, Tim Allen and Hugh Hefner's legendary series Playboy After Dark

Q: What does "versin" mean?
$$\newcommand{\versin}{\operatorname{versin}}2\versin A+\cos ^2 A= 1+\versin ^2 A$$

I don't understand the word 'ver' in this equation. What does it mean?

A: Versine is $\displaystyle1 - \cos(\theta) $  or  $ \displaystyle2\sin^2\left(\frac\theta2\right)$
'versin' is the Versine here, 'ver' by itself is nothing.
It is short for 'versed sine'.
See here.

A: It appears that on the unit circle, it is the remainder of the line on the radius after the cosine is subtracted for any given angle.

Microsoft imagines you'll use it to show a colleague your PowerPoint presentation or to swipe through Tinder with a BFF. It also sets Skype apart from its biggest rivals (Messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat) which all surprisingly lack the feature. Its absence on bigger platforms has allowed smaller apps that offer mobile screen sharing, like Squad, to fill the void.
Of course, the feature is still only available in preview for Skype Insiders (aka beta testers). And, according to The Verge, it still hasn't gone live on the Skype for iOS beta. If Skype's other experiments are anything to go by, screen sharing could roll out in less than a month.

Q: Increasing Cygwin's memory allocation I just added a ton of images to my local git repo.  As a result, when I try to push to our remote repo, I get the error:
fatal: out of memory, malloc failed76)

My hypothesis is that this is due to a lack of memory allocated to Cygwin.  I've tried to increase Cygwin's memory by following these instructions but i can't find the registry entries it mentions.
Anyone have any advice?

A: I compiled the example program they have on the site without making any modifications to my system, and I get this:
5fffe000 bytes (1536.0Mb)

Which looks right, and is more than the 384MB maximum that they mention. Perhaps this documentation is for an older version of cygwin.
Note however that I am using the newer cygwin 1.7.
If the keys don't exist you could create them, but once again the documentation looks old.
HKLM/Software/Cygwin seems like the new regkey

I like handling workers' compensation claims in particular. Although, I don't mind doing legal research, I would not want to be in a position to where I couldn't meet with people. My dad was in sales, and, in fact, both of my parents as their retirement jobs were greeters – my dad at Wal-Mart and my mother at Bass Pro Shops. I used to listen to my dad all the time as I was growing up as he was in his home office talking with people on the phone. I just enjoy being around people and talking with people. I wouldn't want to be in a back room somewhere doing nothing but legal research, so I really enjoy what I do.


bridges the gap between DRAM and storage, allowing greater flexibility in data management by low-latency memory closer to the processor. Micron's NVDIMM technology is a non-volatile solution that combines NAND flash reliability, DRAM performance and an optional power source into a single memory subsystem, delivering a solution that ensures data stored in memory is protected against power loss. By placing non-volatile memory on the DRAM bus, this new architecture allows for storing data close to the processor and optimize data movement by delivering faster access to variables stored in DRAM.
Micron's 8GB DDR4 NVDIMM represents the first product in the company's persistent memory family. The DDR4 NVDIMMs combine DRAM (8GB), NAND flash (16GB SLC) and a power source in a memory subsystem to deliver high performance plus the reliability of backing up data if power is interrupted.
Micron says that persistent memory delivers a balance of latency, bandwidth, capacity and cost, delivering ultra-fast DRAM-like access to critical data and allowing system designers to better manage overall costs.
Persistent memory has been designed for environments that require frequent access to large, complex data sets and environments that are sensitive to downtime caused by power failures or system crashes. Applications include big data analytics, storage appliances, RAID cache, in-memory databases, metadata servers that store indexes and on-line transaction processing.
"With NVDIMM, we have a powerful solution that is available today. We're also leading the way on future persistent memory development by spearheading R&D efforts on promising new technologies such as 3D XPoint memory, which will be available in 2016 and beyond, said said Tom Eby, vice president for Micron's compute and networking business unit.
Micron plans to lead the way on persistent memory development, spearheading R&D efforts on promising new technologies like 3D XPoint memory and other storage-class solutions.


The original MHMS Daring School Library Blog was started by Gwyneth Jones, aka The Daring Librarian in 2006 on Blogger. In March 2011 HCPSS blocked Blogger in the schools because Blogger hosts questionable content on some of their blogs. So we've moved here. My advice for any new school or library wanting to start blogging I would def say Edublogs!
NPR and The Bob Edwards Show Visits the MHMS Daring School Library!
We were SO excited & flattered to host the Bob Edwards Sirius XM show! A few years ago, they were doing a month long series called "Shhhh… Libraries at Work!" (of course I HATE the Shhh! part!) and chose Murray Hill Middle School to represent school libraries. They found us through my professional blog and the interview focused on the future of school libraries, digital literacy, creating a positive digital footprint, research strategies, creating student assessment products, audio books, and how we always push the love of reading to our kids!
In Part 1 (#6 on the iTunes list) you can listen to the Bob Edwards XM Show Podcast featuring MHMS kids, MHTV, & our school library! It starts with Mrs. Singleton's 6th grade reading & research class visited for seminar book selection & talked about the kind of books they like, transitions into our MHTV crew creating our news show, and finishes with ..Mrs. Cullison's class coming in for the Book Pass orientation lessons, and more about books – in all kinds of formats!
But it's true, we have learning going on but there's also time for fun, teaching, research, & inquiry that is not always…. hmmmm silent!
Part 2 is #5 on the iTunes list and it's an interview with yours truly about school libraries and the importance of digital literacy and creating a positive digital footprint.
I am following your blog for my INFO 5001 class. I chose to follow your blog because I feel you incorporate the best qualities of a librarian (passion for students, learning, and others). I especially like the way you incorporate technology and social media in your job. Would you be so kind and answer two questions. What does a typical day look like for you? Also, what advice would you give to future librarians?

Chapter Eight : A new way of life
Alex awoke to an unexpected smell. Initially confused by his strange surroundings, he sat up and sniffed the air. "Bacon!" The salty aroma of bacon cooking was unmistakable. He pulled on his clothes and wandered through to the kitchen, where Cassy was busy preparing breakfast. This was nothing like the spoiled girl he had first met on the previous day's flight from Manchester. Eggs were frying, while bacon sizzled gently on the grill.
"Can I help?" Alex felt that he should do something useful.
"You could find some knives and forks and lay the table. I think you should waken Danny and let him have some breakfast with us."
Obediently, Alex returned to the bedroom. "Danny!" the boy stirred, his eyes flickered open and he looked at Alex, with an obvious question in his mind.
"Where's my mummy and daddy?"
"I don't know, Danny. Cassy and I will look after you, for now. Are you hungry?"
The boy looked so sad that the main people in his life had just literally vanished. Alex could see the pain in his young face. He climbed, wearily, out of the bed and followed Alex silently into the dining area.
"Would either of you like some toast?" Cassy had assumed the role of mother, seemingly accepting this strangest of situations, without question.
"Yes, please." Alex knew that all of them needed to eat while they had food, since they had no idea where their next meal would come from. Danny did not respond to Cassy's question. "He seems traumatised, but I would give him some to build up his reserves. How is the baby?"
"She seems alright, but she did wake me up several times during the night. I mixed a biscuit with milk to feed her and it seems to have worked."
Alex was impressed by Cassy's determination to be responsible for their welfare. "You are doing a great job, Cassy. How is your back after your fall into the tree?"
The teenage girl blushed at his praise. "Oh, it's not bad. A few scratches and a few aches, but that's all." At that moment, cries from the bedroom indicated that the baby was now awake. Alex offered to bring her in, while Cassy was finishing preparing breakfast.
As Alex brought the child in, he said, "We don't even know what she is called."
"I have been thinking about that. She looks so angelic, I thought it would be nice to call her Angela. She's young enough to adopt a new name."
Alex took a seat at the table with the now, quietened child on his knee. "I'm certain that's okay. It sounds as though you accept that adults are not coming back?"
"What else can we assume?" Cassy was about to say something else, when she realised that, to say anything more, would upset Danny. Instead, she finished organising breakfast and piled the food on the three plates. "Let's just make the most of what we've got, okay?"
"Yes, of course." Alex was hungry and enjoyed the breakfast Cassy had prepared for them. His mind was in a turmoil and he wondered what they should do next.
Noticing his absent look, Cassy asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I was thinking what we should do, next. We could stay here, but, eventually, the food will run out. And then what?"
"There must be some stores where we can find food. At least we don't need to worry about money."
Alex knew this could be only a short-term solution. "At some stage, the food will still run out. Don't forget, there will be thousands of hungry children just like us, with the same idea." To emphasise his point, he added, "And any fresh food will rot without being replaced."
"So, what should we do, then?"
Alex knew there were few options open to them and said, despairingly, "I wish I knew. I just wonder if we should try to get somewhere, instead of staying here for the rest of our lives."
Shortly after eating, Alex went into the bedroom and picked up his i-phone which had survived the fall. Since it had been in a zipped-up pocket in his jacket, it was damp, but still showed signs of life.
Nervously, he switched it on and tried dialing his home number in England. He was hoping beyond hope that his parents may still be alive. With no answer from his mother, he tried his dad's mobile, but, again, the response was the same. Even allowing for the time difference, he knew that they would have answered if they were able. There was a heavy feeling in his heart as he walked back into the kitchen, saying, "I've just tried phoning home – it does seem that it is not just restricted to America but a global problem."
Cassy knew he had been trying to make contact and was dis-heartened by his findings. She did not want to say too much in front of Danny and chose her words carefully. "I was afraid of this. Do you have any teenage relatives?"
Alex's heart lifted at this question. "Cassy, you're brilliant!" He quickly returned to the bedroom and scrolled through the contact list on his phone. He selected his cousin, Robert and waited, with rising impatience, as the number was called.
His heart lifted as the familiar voice answered. "Hi, Alex – I thought you were in the States."
"I am. Bob, are your mum and dad there?"
"I think they must still be in bed. I've not seen them, yet. Why?"
Alex realised that his cousin was not yet aware of the disaster and chose his words carefully. "Can you go and see if they are there?"
He could hear Bob running up the stairs. "Why? Is there a problem?"
"Just look first and then I'll explain."
He could hear the knock on the bedroom door, followed by a gasp of surprise as he pushed the door open. "They're not here! Where have they gone? How did you know they were not here?"
Again, Alex took a deep breath. "You have just confirmed my worst fears. While I was flying here, last night, all the adults disappeared and I only managed to avoid death by jumping from the plane. I needed to know if this is more than just in America."
There was a stunned silence from Bob and, then, finding his voice, he said, "you must be joking!"
Patiently, Alex replied, "I wish I was. If you don't believe me, look through the window and tell me if you can see any adults."
He heard Bob pulling back the curtains in the bedroom. After a pause, he asked, "You mean there are no adults anywhere in the world?"
"I wish I could say that it was an April fool joke. Something happened last night and it looks as though there are only children left here on earth."
"So what are we going to do?"
"I don't know, but, at least, there will not be any schools as there are no teachers."
Bob laughed. "That is a definite bonus, but there are also no farmers, engineers or anybody who helps to keep the world running."
"True. Listen, Bob. See what you can find out, keep your mobile charged and send me texts when you can. It does mean that I will have to stay in Florida as there is no way of getting back. I have a friend in Singapore, so I will phone her next and find out if the same has happened to her."
"Wish I was stuck in Florida, you lucky devil! Bye, Alex."
Alex scrolled down the list on his mobile and found Jasmine, a fourteen year old Indian Singaporean who he met on holiday two years earlier. When she answered, it was obvious she was pleased to hear from him. She did confirm that all adults in her area had disappeared, that morning. Jasmin and her five younger siblings were struggling to accept their new, precarious situation. She agreed to keep in touch with Alex by text messages and wished him good luck.
Alex decided to tell Cassy about his findings later and looked around the house, searching for a bag. Anything which they could use to carry enough food to last them for a while. He felt triumphant when he found a rucksack, pushed into the back of a bedroom cupboard. It looked quite old, as though it had not been used for many years. He tipped it upside down, allowing the contents to spill out onto the floor. Numerous photographs lay in an untidy heap and, unable to conceal his curiosity, he gathered a few photos together and scanned through them. They were photos of a soldier, back from the Vietnam War in the late sixties. It seemed so sad that someone who had survived such a terrible war, had now vanished as though they had never existed. Alex picked up the rucksack and took some of the photos to show Cassy. "Look at these, Cassy."
She found it equally interesting to discover the history of the occupants of the house they had taken over, just like squatters. "She picked out one of the photographs and held it close to a photograph hanging on the wall. "You can see the likeness with this photo which, I think, was taken only a few years ago."
Alex looked at the picture on the wall. It showed a man and woman, probably both in their late eighties, taken on a cruise ship. The features of the man, compared with the old photos were definitely the same allowing for, probably sixty years of aging.
Cassy looked more closely at the picture. "They looked so happy."
"Yes. It's so sad that, after all they must have been through, they are no longer here."
"I don't know who is luckier. At least they don't have an uncertain future, like us." The look of despair in Cassy's eyes was unmistakable.
Alex put his arm around the girl's shoulder. "Listen Cassy, don't give up. We have to do what we can to survive. It's not going to be easy, but we have got to try."
Encouraged by his words, Cassy took the rucksack into the kitchen. "Okay, let's see what we can find." The couple began to open cupboards, drawers until every storage space had been checked. Fortunately, the couple who had lived in the house had quite sweet tastes and many chocolate bars and cookies were found. Cassy handed everything to Alex who began to fill the bag with their plundered goodies. Oranges, apples, bananas, fruit juice and anything else suitable were added. The bag was not full, but still quite heavy.
Alex, thinking aloud, said, "Perhaps we should stay here one more night, Cassy. It's already mid afternoon, so we may be better waiting until tomorrow."
Cassy agreed and started checking what she could cook for an afternoon meal. In a way, she was pleased to wait another day, as her injuries from the fall were still painful. After a dinner of steak and potato fries, Alex took charge of Danny and Angela, while Cassy enjoyed a relaxing bath. She managed to find cream to apply to her scratched skin and, that evening, she fell into a very sound, restful sleep.
After breakfast, the following morning, they collected all their provisions together and prepared for a long journey into the unknown.
Mindful of the small baby in their care, Cassy filled a flask with milk, which, with some crushed biscuits would provide sustenance for a short while.
Alex pulled the bag onto his back and, together with Cassy, Danny and baby Angela, left the house they had borrowed for the past two days.
As they turned onto the road, Alex stopped. "What's wrong, Alex?"
"I can't decide which way we should walk. I've no idea where we are, so, left or right?"
Cassy understood his dilemma. The choice of direction could affect their future, whatever was left of it. Boldly, she said, "I think Left." She pointed along the road. "Before you ask, I don't know why, but let's try it, anyway."
Accepting her decision, Alex began walking, holding Danny's hand, while Cassy carried Angela.
They had not walked very far before evidence of the previous night's catastrophe could be seen. Many cars, which, presumably, were being driven at speed when the drivers disappeared had crashed, some more violently than others. Two cars had crashed head-on, leaving a burnt-out mangled wreck in the middle of the road. It seemed so sad that all these vehicles, once prized possessions of their owners were now useless heaps of scrap metal.
After walking for about ten minutes, Alex was surprised to hear the sound of a powerful engine disturbing the strangely, silent world. He turned round to see an open-topped sports car heading towards them. He was even more surprised when the car horn sounded and the vehicle drew up beside them.
It was Charles, the boy who had volunteered to jump first out of the aircraft. "Hey! I never thought I would see you guys again."
Alex smiled. "I'm pleased you landed safely."
Charles laughed. "I was lucky. I fell into a lake. Got very wet but, thankfully, nothing broken. Spent a while in a house. Had to break in, but there's nobody to stop us, now."
"We also found a house to stay for the last two nights. But, where did you find the car?"
"I didn't fancy hanging around here and was lucky to find a car which hadn't been wrecked. The key was in the ignition and it's an automatic. Really easy to drive. Can I give you a lift?"
Alex looked at the small sports car and realised that it would be quite a crush for them all to fit. "Thanks, but you have given me an idea. If we can find a larger car with keys, then I am certain I can drive it. Do you want to help us find one so we can stay together?"
Charles looked uncertain at this suggestion. "Sorry, guys, but I don't fancy being held back by small kids. If you don't mind, I think I'll stay on my own."
"Okay, it's up to you." Alex felt a little disappointed that, after meeting up with Charles, he did not want to stay with them.
"Good luck!" Charles waved and sounded his horn as the car accelerated along the road, gradually disappearing from view.
The children continued walking, Alex looking at every abandoned vehicle, hoping to find something suitable. After walking for about thirty minutes, he spotted an eight-seater Ford. The door was partly open, as though the driver was either getting in or out when he had disappeared. "Yes!" Alex found the key in the ignition and felt triumphant at discovering something suitable for the group.
"Are you certain you can drive this thing?" Cassy felt uncertain about using such a large vehicle.
"I think so. What have we got to lose?"
"Our lives?" Cassy answered sardonically.
"Listen, Cassy, we jumped out of a plane, last night and, somehow, we survived it. Driving a car is going to be quite tame by comparison. Just give me a chance to try to get us somewhere."
"Okay, but please don't drive fast." Cassy slid the passenger door open and lifted Danny inside. She fastened his seat belt and then sat beside him. Without a child's car seat, she had no option but to hold Angela on her lap.
Alex was familiarising himself with the controls and instruments. Thankfully, it was an automatic drive.
"I hope it has plenty of petrol or we won't get very far", remarked Cassy.
"Diesel", corrected Alex. "Just a minute and I will know." He checked the drive was in neutral and turned the ignition key. The dials on the dashboard lit up. Another quarter turn and the engine started. Alex looked at the fuel gauge. "The tank's about two-thirds full, which should take us quite a distance."
"But, where shall we go?"
Alex smiled at his doubtful companion. "I have been thinking about that. Why don't we look for Universal Studios? After all, that's where we would have gone if the adults hadn't disappeared. I'm certain there must be plenty of signs to get us there."
Cassy had to admit that his idea was a good one and the thought of still going to Universal Studios excited her. "Okay, I'll look out for signs."
"Right, hold on tight." Alex had to admit to himself, that the prospect of driving frightened him a little, but thought better of mentioning this. He released the hand brake and pushed the lever in to the drive position. His foot pressed the accelerator pedal and they began to move forward, albeit a bit faster than Alex had anticipated. "Sorry." He eased the pressure off a little and they drove along the road at about thirty miles an hour. After a few minutes he gained confidence and skillfully maneuvered around the many abandoned cars.
"Alex! Stop!" Cassy shouted.
He slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt. "What is it?"
The girl pointed to a crashed car. He followed her gaze and then realised why this car was different from all the hundreds of other crashed vehicles they had already passed. It was Charles in the nippy sports job. The front of the car was badly damaged after hitting a fire hydrant and Charles looked unconscious. Alex turned off the engine and jumped out. He ran over to the wreck. "Charles!" He threw the door open and began to drag the heavy boy out. He had not been wearing a seat belt and Alex was worried about the extent of his injuries. There was heavy bruising to his face, but, thankfully, he slowly began to regain consciousness. "What happened, Charles?"
In a somewhat groggy voice, he answered, I was trying to avoid a car on the road and skidded. I think I was going a bit too fast."
"I can imagine. Think you might be safer travelling with us, Charles."
His voice sounded very groggy, as he replied, "You might be right." He smiled weakly and then winced as the bruising made itself known to the teenager. "Don't worry, it will soon heal." He slid the door back and sat behind Cassy. Alex started the engine again and they pulled away onto the freeway.
"Where are you heading?" Charles asked.
"Universal Studios. You can help by looking out for signs. I'm certain it can't be far away."
"That sounds a great idea."
"Is your seat belt fastened, Charles?" Alex knew that, as a novice driver, the chances of an accident were quite high, with or without any other drivers on the road.
Charles obediently fastened his belt. "Yes, Sir!"
Alex liked Charles' jovial nature and hoped that the group could survive a world without adults.
It was amazing how many cars had crashed. Some had collided head-on, resulting in tangled wrecks, while others had careered off the road, ending up in the middle of a neat, manicured lawn, like some strange piece of artwork. Alex's driving skills were put to the test as he was forced into tight maneuvers around the wreckage strewn across the road.
Suddenly, Alex slammed on the brakes and screeched to a halt. "What's wrong, Alex?" Cassy was holding on tightly to the children.
"I can't get through. There are cars all across the road." He unfastened his seat belt and was about to leave the vehicle to check the situation, when he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. A group of at least fifteen teenagers, all brandishing baseball bats, began to emerge from behind bushes. "Hold on tight", shouted Alex. He jumped back into the driving seat, put his foot hard on the accelerator and headed towards a small gap between the line of cars. There was a terrific noise of grinding metal on metal as the people carrier roughly pushed its way through the barricade of lighter cars. Some of the threatening teenagers jumped back as they realised that Alex did not intend stopping for them. It was a great relief when the people carrier finally crashed its way through and accelerated along the road. Alex could, through his rear-view mirror, see some of the teenagers angrily waving their baseball bats at the fast-disappearing vehicle.
"Phew! That was close. They did not seem very friendly." This under-statement from Charles made them aware of how dangerous the world had suddenly become with the demise of adults.
"What do you think they want?" asked Cassy.
Alex shrugged. "Who knows? It could have been our transport or worse, the food we brought with us."
Cassy was shaken at the thought that, even with the disappearance of adults, violence was still a disturbing feature of this modern world.
They drove in silence for about twenty minutes, when Alex exclaimed, "I think I know where we are. I recognise that group of shops over there, which means that my uncle's house is not far from here. Hope
you guys don't mind if we stop there?"
Cassy and Charles could not understand why Alex wanted to stop, knowing that his relatives would not be around, but had no objections.
As if reading their minds, he said, "I know they won't be there, but I just want to see their home for the last time." He was gaining confidence in his driving and skillfully avoided all the crashed vehicles as he turned off the main road. A few minutes later, he pulled up into the drive of a smart, single-storey house, so typical of many found in Florida. "Do you guys want to come in with me?"
Cassy had already unfastened her seat belt and was helping Danny out of his seat. "Yes, I think we should stick together."
Charles seemed undecided, but then, still in obvious pain from his injuries, stiffly followed Alex. The entrance to the house was from a covered car-port, but, when Alex tried the door, it was firmly locked. Undaunted, he walked around the back of the house and lifted a plant-pot from a plastic tray. With a triumphant cry, he picked up the key which had been hidden under the plant. Returning to the kitchen door, he inserted the key and turned it.
Nervously, he pushed the door open wide and entered, followed by the others. Alex half-expected to find his uncle in the reclining chair, sipping a cool beer, watching war documentaries on television in the living area, while Susie would be busy in the kitchen, preparing some delicious, typically American meal, but, of course, there were absolutely no signs of any life.
Sadness could be heard in his voice as he said, "They were probably visiting friends when they disappeared."
Sensing the anguish at his loss, Cassy laid a comforting hand on his arm. As he turned to face her, she could see the sadness in his large, brown eyes. "You were very close to your aunt and uncle?"
He nodded. "I hoped that, one day, I may live here with them. It's been a lifetime ambition for me to live in America."
Cassy had always loved England and could not imagine living anywhere else, but, now, it seemed that her chances of returning home were extremely remote. The closest person in Cassy's life was her mother as her parents had divorced when she was only three years old. Although her father had access rights, she had seen very little of him over the years and felt that he did not want any contact with her.
"Food!" Snapping out of his sad thoughts, Alex decided action was necessary. "My uncle always made certain that there was plenty of food in the house, so we might as well stock up."
He walked to a door at the back of the kitchen area and pushed the door open wide. The larder was stacked high with every type of food possible. "My uncle was in the army before he went into business and believed in always having plenty of provisions in stock."
It really was like an Aladdin's cave, with hundreds of tins of beans, soups, meat and puddings, while there were countless boxes of cereals and biscuits. Best of all, there were many packets of dried fruits, like mango and pineapple which were highly nutritious. It would be impossible to take everything, but, very soon, Alex and Charles had packed several boxes full of the most useful foods and drinks.
Cassy was looking after Danny and Angela, cradling the baby in her arms. Aware of a sudden noise outside the house, she looked through the front window and gave a scream.
"What's wrong, Cassy?"
She pointed to the window. "Someone's trying to damage our car. Look! It's rocking!"
As Alex looked through the window, he saw three large figures coming round the near side of the vehicle. "Bears!" he shouted. As the three teenagers looked on in horror, the bears were using their enormous strength to try and tip the car over. Alex rushed into the larder and quickly returned, carrying a shotgun.
Cassy looked alarmed. "What are you going to do?"
"My uncle always had a problem with bears around here and used his shotgun to scare them away. They come hunting for something to eat. Did anyone leave any food in the car?" He had brought the rucksack into the house and wondered why the bears were still attacking the car.
Charles coughed nervously. "I think I might have left a couple of chocolate bars in the pocket near my seat."
"And was the car door open?" Alex thought he knew the answer before Charles replied.
"Afraid so. I didn't think it mattered." Charles looked very guilty.
Alex was quickly checking if he had a good supply of pellets for the shotgun. "Stay here and keep the door shut. Alex opened the kitchen door and, quietly closing it behind him, crept towards the front of the house. As he turned the corner, he could see the three bears pushing hard against the vehicle. Aiming his shotgun at the backside of the nearest bear, he pulled the trigger. He fired at the hungry bear. It dropped down on all fours and scampered away back to the forest. Before Alex had chance to aim for the second bear, the car fell over on its side with a heart-rending grinding crash of glass and metal. It must have shocked the bears as they quickly scampered away, to join the first bear.
Alex looked at the vehicle which had been their means of escape with an anxious feeling gnawing at the pit of his stomach. This was not supposed to happen. Universal Studios was, above all else, the place where he wished to be, but how?
He entered the kitchen and looked gloomily at the others. "I don't think that car is going to be of any use to us, now." The three of them stood in silence and then Alex shouted, "The garage! There may be another vehicle in there!" He rushed back into the carport and pushed a door on the far wall. He ventured inside and shouted to the others, "It's okay. My uncle had two cars and there's one still in the garage." It was a smaller car than the first, now-ruined one. It was a Chevrolet, five-seater saloon. Alex found the keys for the vehicle and switched on the ignition to check the fuel level. It was just over half full of gas, which should be plenty to get them to universal.
Cassy had a sudden thought. "Why don't we stay here for tonight? It's already mid-afternoon."
Alex liked the idea of staying in his aunt and uncle's house. Just one more night would do no harm. "It's not as though we have to get to universal so soon", Alex thought.
Cassy found it easy to make a meal for them on the modern hob, with the assistance of Charles while Alex looked after Danny and Angela.
They relaxed for the rest of that day, watching recorded documentaries on the large television in the living area. A second night in a comfortable bed helped to recover the group for the next day's journey.
Cautiously looking for any wandering bears, Alex and Charles made several journeys between the kitchen and the garage, loading the car with as many boxes as they could fit. Alex returned to the larder where his uncle had hidden the shotgun and took all the boxes of pellets. He then wandered into the bedroom and slid open a drawer at the side of the bed. Alex knew, from what his uncle had told him, that he always kept a loaded revolver by his bed and Alex felt that it may be necessary to arm themselves. Not far away was a box of cartridges, which he picked up and slipped into his pocket.
Cassy looked scared when she saw the heavy revolver in Alex's hand as he returned to the kitchen. "Do we really need a gun?"
"I… I don't know," Alex faltered. "I just don't know what we are going to find, but I think it may be better to be prepared for the worst. You saw that mob of kids at the road block, yesterday, so it's best to take precautions" He opened the garage doors wide and hurried back into the driver's seat.
Charles sat next to Alex, while Danny and Cassy, with Angela on her knee were in the back of the car.

Colletti Named Interim Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University
AMES, Iowa — Joe Colletti, senior associate dean in Iowa State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and associate director of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, has been named the college's interim dean, effective Nov. 20. He will also serve as interim director of the Experiment Station.
Colletti takes over for Wendy Wintersteen, who was recently selected as Iowa State's 16th president.
"Joe is familiar with every aspect of the college's mission and operations, and its service to the people of Iowa," said President-Select Wintersteen. "He will maintain the strong momentum in our academic and research programs, and work with stakeholders both on and off campus to share our expertise with the world."
In making the appointment, Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost, noted Colletti's stature on campus will facilitate a smooth transition to the next permanent dean.
"Joe Colletti has a well-deserved reputation for collegiality and service that will help the college and university move forward during a critical time of record enrollments and budget challenges," Wickert said. "I am confident he will do very well in the interim role."
Colletti, who joined Iowa State in 1978, holds a bachelor's degree in forestry from Humboldt State University in California, and master's and doctorate degrees in forest economics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He was appointed senior associate dean in 2006 after serving as interim chair of the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management from 2004-2005.
In his current positions, Colletti oversees budgets, resources and personnel for the college and Experiment Station; and facilitates research related to the bioeconomy, including development of the university's BioCentury Research Farm.
"It has been a great privilege to watch the college grow in both stature and impact over the last 40 years, and I am humbled by the opportunity to lead the college during the interim period," Colletti said.
A national search for the next permanent dean will be launched in the coming weeks.

City fund managers call for rethink of capitalism
FT City Network
FT City Network says government and business must address challenges of climate change

November 15, 2019 4:00 am by Patrick Jenkins in London
Two of the world's biggest fund management bosses have called for a rethink of capitalism and its obsession with constant economic growth, in a plaintive appeal for business and governments to deal more decisively with the challenges of climate change.
Anne Richards, chief executive of Fidelity International, said the world must end "our obsession with ever-increasing GDP" and the "primacy of shareholders" to foster the kind of long-term thinking that would help protect the environment.
Andreas Utermann, CEO of Allianz Global Investors, said the world's growth mania — "nominal GDP growth, supported by population growth, [and profit] growth" — was clearly unsustainable, and suggested that capitalism in its current form is "borrowing from the future while destroying the environment".
The pleas for reform, delivered as part of an FT City Network debate on whether capitalism could fix climate change, came in response to an address by Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, in which she called for wholesale reform of the current economic system to avert global disaster.
Mr Utermann, who announced this week that he will retire from AllianzGI after a 17-year career with the asset manager, said: "A more holistic approach to 'growth' needs to evolve, looking to capture societal and environmental benefits and costs.
"More sophisticated measures than GDP per capita are required to determine whether capitalism is delivering to all stakeholders without borrowing from the future while destroying the environment." It was "self-evident that this is not sustainable", he said.
In her critique of the short-termist outlook of shareholders, Ms Richards, who has also worked in senior roles at Aberdeen Asset Management and M&G, called for a "pivot [away] from the Milton Friedman concept of capitalism and the primacy of shareholders, who may have a very short-term involvement with an individual company, towards a wider stakeholder approach".
The surprisingly outspoken interventions from two of the City's best known asset managers reflected a wider view among contributors to the FT City Network debate that business and government must urgently improve their response to the growing evidence of environmental catastrophe. "Solving climate change through inclusive capitalism will define our generation," said Nigel Wilson, chief executive of Legal & General, another big asset manager.
Several participants hailed the role that UK-based climate change activist group Extinction Rebellion has played — alongside the likes of Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg and film-maker David Attenborough — to highlight the issue. Recent protests have focused in part on the City of London and the role that banks, asset managers and insurers play in financing and sustaining some of the world's most environmentally damaging industries, from oil extraction to vehicle manufacture.
Central banks' mandates allow them to tackle climate change
Several City Network contributors said that, while it was impossible to instantly blacklist climate unfriendly firms, it was vital that companies set tough environmental targets, measure whether they were met and reward managers on their performance, rather than on short-term profit.
"Of course it's not 'either profits or sustainability'," said Robert Swannell, the former financier and Marks and Spencer chairman who now chairs the government's investment arm UKGI. "But let us ditch the shareholder value maximisation mantra and look for metrics that not only measure financial performance but also measure positive or negative impact on society."
The shift towards a broader interest in stakeholders was foreshadowed in the US by a summertime announcement from the Business Roundtable, a key US corporate lobby group. It insisted that capitalism was the best way to protect jobs in a sustainable economy with "a healthy environment", though it made no mention of climate change.
The FT City Network is a panel of more than 50 senior figures from across the City of London. Each month the forum debates a subject of topical interest.

Tis the season to be… stressed!
Between parties, school programs, and end-of-year deadlines at work, the holidays don't always feel like "the most wonderful time of the year." This year, instead of working like an elf pulling the third shift on the 24th, give yourself a break. You can't do it all, afford it all, or be everywhere. Before you open one more door on that Advent calendar, set some boundaries for yourself and your family.
It seems like the Christmas decorations come out earlier and earlier every year. Things really ramp up once "Back to School" is out of the way and from that point on we are bombarded with commercials for the latest and greatest tech gadgets, toys, and fashion trends. Instead of running up a huge credit card bill you'll hate yourself for in January, set a budget and stick to it.
Back in the day when I had a retail job, I remember a customer who had an envelope of cash for each person she had to buy for. When the envelope was empty, that was her cue to pack it all up and head for home. Simple, but genius.
In my house, we pick names. I come from a family of 9 and my husband from a family of seven. Counting spouses, parents, nieces and nephews, we'd have 57 people to buy for. Instead, adults and kids each pick a name and we buy one thoughtful gift with a price limit. The gift has meaning and helps us stay connected, even if we aren't together.
Just accept it now. There's no way you're going to participate in every party, gift exchange, volunteer opportunity or family event. Prioritize. Don't waste time at an event with people you don't know – or don't like – if simply declining the invitation would have solved the problem. People understand we're all pulled in every direction this time of year. Your time is precious and the holidays are all about making memories, so do everything in your power to make sure they're good ones.
If your family looks less like a Norman Rockwell painting and more like the Kardashians, take comfort knowing you aren't alone. Family brings out the best and the worst in all of us. If your family is truly abusive and it's an unhealthy environment for you or your kids, stay away. On the other hand, if it's like mine, they're probably just occasionally annoying, sometimes inappropriate, frequently loud and always hilarious. Go in with reasonable expectations, be quick to forgive, and pick your battles.
During the holidays, many people find themselves depressed and anxious. In fact, one Danish study found that suicide rates rise as much as 40 percent after Christmas. Unreasonable expectations about how things are supposed to be, pressures at work or home, and financial issues are all stressors that can seriously impact individuals and families alike.
That's why those boundaries are so important. Be good to yourself and in turn be good to your family. No one enjoys being around someone frantic and agitated because things aren't "just so." So let it go: use paper plates for Christmas dinner; decorate the front half of the tree or skip it altogether; bring Oreos instead of your Nona's famous shortbread to that cookie exchange. No one expects your home to look like Martha Stewart's…well, except maybe Martha's family.
Give yourself permission to say no. It may not bring peace on earth, but for you at least, it can bring peace of mind.

Genesis – Shade Of Dawning (Highland HL069#G10)
By gsparacoon December 2, 2008
Shade Of Dawning (Highland HL069#G10)
Watford Technical College, Watford, England – March 4th, 1972
(66:56) Harlequin, Stagnation, The Fountain Of Salmacis, Twilight Alehouse, The Musical Box, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, The Knife
Shade Of Dawning contains one of the most important documents of Genesis' live career. It is the oldest audience recording of any gig they played in England and one of the most valuable from the Nursery Cryme era. The March 4th Watford Technical College gig circulated before, but this release is a significant upgrade over the poor quality, high generation that was floating around before. The music is sharper and Peter Gabriel's stories, almost inaudible on the old tape, are understandable. The taper was positioned close to the stage and was able to produce a very good audience recording of the event. The audience are very quiet as they follow the tales in what turns out to be a passionate performance by the band. There are three small cuts during Gabriel's introduction to "The Fountain Of Salmacis," two small cuts before "Twilight Alehouse," a small cut before "The Musical Box" and a short tape pause in the very beginning of the song, and a small cut before "The Return Of The Giant Hogweed."
Aside from being the earliest Genesis audience recording from England, this valuable for having the only live version of "Harlequin." Since the tape cuts in at the very beginning it is hard to say if it is the first song of the set. It wouldn't be inconceivable to start the show with a mellow acoustic based ballad. The only older audience recording, dating from January 16th Festival Charleroi in Belgium, has a similar set list except "Happy The Man" is played first before "Stagnation." It is effective in the live setting with the guitars emanating a dreamy landscape perfect in capturing the idea behind Nursery Cryme. Gabriel tells a long story about Thomas Eselberg playing monopoly before the start "Stagnation" which, at the start, maintains the aura of the preceding song.
Gabriel tells the hermaphrodite story before dedicating "The Fountain Of Salmacis" to the Tesco supermarket chain, "without them, none of this would have been possible." This is one of the most passionate renditions of the tale with Peter in particular punctuating the verses with screams. Before "Twilight Alehouse" he tells the long "tube train" story which has nothing to do with the song but is famous for being included on the liner notes to Genesis Live released the following year. This is the only recording where he recites the story.
"The Musical Box" has by this time found its place as their most dramatic and compelling live pieces. Gabriel tells the story of the song and speaks about a "naked Patrick Moore" being lowered from the rafters before they start and even without the visuals and the costumes the stark emotions are conveyed. Banks and Hackett hit the hard rock middle with much aggression which will be carried over into the final songs of the night. Before "Hogweed" Gabriel tells the audience they paid six John Lennon impersonators and challenges them to find the real John Lennon. The middle and ending with Hackett and Banks playing closest to heavy metal as Genesis would ever go and when they come out for the encore Gabriel introduces "The Knife" as "a bit of vintage Genesis." There have been no other silver releases of this tape since Highland produced Shade Of Dawning in 1996 and it remains the definitive edition.

4th Annual Agenda Emerge Powered by Group Y Highlights Innovation and Creative Brand-Building with Speakers Shepard Fariey, C.R. Steyck III, Mike Ness, Tinker Hatfield, and More

The stage is set at the Long Beach Convention Center for the 4th Annual Agenda Emerge conference.
The 4th Annual Agenda Emerge powered by Group Y held in Long Beach, CA, January 6, 2015, was the biggest conference yet for the action sports and streetwear industries. With a capacity crowd of 825, it was clear that people were interested in hearing how innovation and creativity can produce the most amazing brands, bands, and art.
"The heart of Agenda Emerge is the young and inspired minds of a new generation," said Agenda Founder, Aaron Levant. "Going head to head with the largest well-established fashion industry shows and watching these brands reach success, knowing that we had a hand in it, has been a humbling journey. This is a great opportunity for the new generation of designers to learn from seasoned experts who have turned their brands into household names."
The conference took place after the closing of the Agenda trade show, and offered the perfect timing for the tribes to get together and network at the conference. The main attractions of course were the speakers, which Group Y founder Mark Sperling, and others, did a great job at congregating. They included Bob Hurley, founder of Hurley, Rob Hurley, his son and the creative director of Hurly, C.R. Stecyk III, co-founder of Juxtapoz, artist, writer, Lyndon Cormack, co-founder of Herschel Supply Co., Mike Ness, singer and guitarist of Social Distortion, Shepard Fairey, street artist and founder of Obey and Studio One, and Tinker Hatfield, VP of Innovation and Creative Concepts at Nike.
While all of the presenters shared insightful stories about their journeys in creating their brands and concepts, the key theme throughout was don't give up on the creative impulse you may have. Being different isn't necessarily a bad thing, and thinking outside of the box is essential.
Shepard Fairey presents at Agenda Emerge.
The best speaker was Shepard Fairey who relayed the epic story of his journey as a sticker and T-shirt screen print artist and the launch of Obey and Andre the Giant. Instead of being attracted to the museums during a NYC field trip during school at the Rhode Island School of Design, he found himself more attracted to the street art of the gritty subways and streets of the city which told a different story.
Shepard also pointed out that Andre the Giant and the whole "posse" campaign started as an insider joke. But it also represented the fact that advertising is the greatest propaganda. The styles and colors that are signature Fairey have influence from Russian constructive propaganda. There's no doubt that the creative energy behind Fairey's work tends to stem from political misgivings and counter culture roots. In every way, Fairey is inspired by his punk rock aesthetic. Just as easily as talking about the atrocities and bad judgment for war in Iraq, or working on relief efforts in Haiti, he's the only guy I know of that can also incorporate bands like Public Enemy, Black Flag, and Sex Pistols within conversations of art and global atrocities.
Fairey also relayed that his clothing, especially T-shirts, are the canvases of his causes. "Clothing relates to all of us. There's a ripple effect, and things like T-shirts are the gateway to culture." Fairey produces 60-80 graphic T-shirts per year, but stays to his roots of painting giant murals in a number of cities every year as well. The physical and mental planning for the creative production of street art is clearly where his heart is.
C.R. Stecyk III with Ryan Hurley at Agenda Emerge.
C.R. Stecyk III is also a talented speaker. The only complaint during this conference would be that Ryan Hurley, who moderated most of the presentations, should have just stepped aside when it came to Stecyk and let the OG of art and surf and skate culture tell his story without interruption. Fortunately, I've had the privilege to interview Stecyk as well, and you can tell he is a smart man who's artistic endeavors with art, photography, and film have a purpose twisted in with a dry sense of humor that only comes from living through the urban detritus of a crumbling environment.
Stecyk happened to grow up near Ocean Park, the end of the legendary Route 66. His father had photo and film equipment from working as a war journalist during World War II. Combined with a ceramicist, mother, you can see how Stecyk was equipped with the tools of the trades for art and media. At the time, the area was a crumbling landscape of a circus no longer in use. Pilings in the ocean that once held proud piers were now the pillars for legendary local hardcore surfers to shoot through, and when the waves sucked, they took to the streets and started the sport of skateboarding. Stecyk captured the culture which made skateboarding and the guys in it, legendary, as Stacey Peralta's "Dogtown and the Z-Boys" documentary proved.
Stecyk is the Captain Hook of skate and surf art and media and carries with him legendary status like no one else in the industry. You can't get any more authentic than him and he's in demand often for various artistic collaborations to give cred to brands that use him. (Hurley did a collaboration with Haze and Stecyk which was showcased at the Agenda show.)
Tinker Hatfield came from an architecture background, but moved into designing some of the most epic sneakers for Nike ever, including the Jordan series, Air Max 1, and others. His inspiration came from viewing the Pompidou in Paris, which when it was built from 1972-76, was very controversial. The building looks modern, and it looks like it is inside-out because you can see the pipes, staircases, and steel beams. Hatfield took the concepts of the Pompidou and thought about designing a sneaker where you could see the inside workings of the shoe. In the end, it's always inspiring to see how things evolved and where the inspiration for creativity comes from. Footwear from architecture is unique. He also spilled the beans that Nike was working on a revival of the "Back to the Future 2" self-lacing sneaker that Hatfield made for Michael J. Fox's character in the 80's.
Mike Ness from Social Distortion at Agenda Emerge.
Mike Ness from Social Distortion got the greatest applause, which makes sense. The guy is a gifted musician and has been through a lot in his hardcore punk rock life. He expressed the story of finding solace and a "safe place" at his elderly babysitter's room which was covered with religious art and included a big old radio. Growing up in an alcoholic family, music, especially punk rock, was his escape and he made the most of it, even through years of doing odd jobs like house painting. As he put it, whenever anyone said "you can't do it, it just fueled the fire."
"The Sex Pistols," expressed Ness, "sounded like what you felt like. And anyway, we were only supposed to live to 30."
That concept of living your life as full as possible is a huge part of action sports and streetwear which come from roots of necessity mixed with a huge doses of music. As Ness said, "Music taps into that human emotion. It is the only thing that is universal."
This is something we have said often when consulting with brands and organizations when it comes to youth culture. Music is the universal language and the connector across genders, ages, ethnicities, and economic levels of all kinds. Hearing it from Mike Ness in a passionate presentation revived the message.
Lyndon Cormack, co-founder of Herschel Supply Co.
Lyndon Cormack launched the conference with a humbling story of how he and his brother took the concept of creating a well-designed backpack from it's infancy of an idea, named after his grandfather's tiny village in Saskatchewan, Canada, to becoming the well-respected, classic international bag and apparel company that it is today. Lessons from his presentation stem from having the perseverance to figure out how to make your own company, and that relying on your own hard work (and a bunch of Google searches) is how it happens.
Bob Hurley, moderated by his son Ryan, was an interesting presentation on the growth of a brand starting from being at the right place at the right time. In Hurley's case, it started with wanting to make the best surfboard, living in Huntington Beach. CA, a.k.a. Surf City, and making boards for pros like Rabbit Bartholomew. While everyone knows that Hurley was the guy behind growing Billabong into a multi-million dollar company, he didn't go into it that much and instead, chose the path of how he made his own brand, Hurley, into what it is today.
Of course, the aspect missing from the Agenda Emerge conference was a female speaker. Someone like Sophia Amorusa for example, the founder of NastyGal.com would have been a great fit, or Caledonia Dance Curry, a.k.a. Swoon. But the majority of the audience at this conference reflected the bro-nature of the Agenda show itself which tends to skew high on the guy side.
However overall, the 4th Annual Agenda Emerge conference was a huge success and paved the way for a greater variety of educational and inspiring conferences around the industries of art, music, streetwear, and action sports for the future.

There is always that one thing that soothes our soul. When sick, we reach out for our soul food, similarly when in doubt, I always go for white and it never lets me down! For this hot Goan day when heat hot to my head, I slipped into this gorgeous white lace dress from The Yellow Hanger to save the day!
If you have ever been to Goa then you might already know how killing Goa sun is! Being a Delhi girl, I am use to super hot climate but Goan sun can drive you crazy. So the best way to survive is to be in bikinis and chill in water. And that is what exactly what I did!
While we were spending our time in Fort Tiracoal which is located up-north in Goa, and one has to take a ferry to reach there from this beautiful beach called Agonda.
White sand, salty air and blue sky was just perfect. To make the most of Agonda beach, I slipped into a bikini and wore this gorgeous white lace dress from Yellow Hanger and I was ready for my little beach adventure! Totally love the Moroccan vide that this outfit has.
Do check out my Wine day outfit from post Rosé too for a little drinks by the sea!
You look fantastic! Beautiful pics.
Very nice photos! You look amazing!

Seahawks' Earl Thomas Done For Season
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Monday that safety Earl Thomas is done for the season with a broken leg. The injury is specifically to the tibia and occurred during the team's Sunday night win over the Panthers. Thomas collided with teammate, Kam Chancellor, and immediately exited for the locker room.
There is no official timetable for his recovery, but it is certain that he will not be back for postseason play, as his Seahawks sit at the top of the NFC West. The safety even tweeted out during the game that the possibility of retirement was going through his head. A day after, he stated in a text that he was still considering calling it a career.
The five-time Pro Bowler had started the first 118 games of his career, including postseason, until he missed a game in Week 12 due to a hamstring injury.
Third-year player, Steven Terrell, will serve as Thomas's replacement for the remainder of the season. Seattle sits at 8-3-1 on the season thus far, and have three division matchups in their final four games.

This photo of five women walking shoulder-to-shoulder led me to write The Deans' Bible. Over the course of several years when I attended Purdue University "women's events," I repeatedly saw the photo on posters and invitations, as if it were the only representation of women on Purdue's campus.
I did not know much about the quintet, but every time I saw the picture, the women walked toward me, and I thought, There's a story.
Until I began my research, I had no idea how much of a story there was to tell—the untold accounts of discrimination; the quiet battles for equality; the deep connections among the five women; a century-worth of unwavering support of one another, women students, and women faculty.
I did not know there was a secret Bible.
No one knew outside of the deans' circle.
Until I wrote the book.

Steve Sung trudged through college, always knowing in the back of his mind that he wanted to play poker for a living. Having always been a gambler, Sung immediately jumped on the tournament circuit when he turned 21 and quickly found success, making several World Poker Tour final tables and racking up large cashes around the world. In 2009, Sung won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, taking down a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event for $771,106. He followed that up with a second WSOP title in 2013, earning $1,205,324 for topping a stacked field in the $25,000 buy-in six-max no-limit hold'em championship.
Most recently, Sung finished third in the WPT Gardens Poker Championship, adding another $259,880 to his poker resume. In total, the 33-year-old has just shy of $6 million in career live tournament earnings, but those numbers pale in comparison to the amounts he won and lost during high-stakes cash game sessions, and even his time gambling in the casino pit.
Highlights from this interview include growing up in Seoul, visualizing the United States, being thirsty for some wata, how a pay-per-view fail led to poker, dominating pusoy, why Phil Hellmuth quit him in Chinese poker, how Ryan Young won in Vegas before turning 21, paying for good grades, getting his feet wet with a $25k buy-in, battling it out at $2k-$4k online, losing seven-figures in a day, an unhealthy love for blackjack, blacking out with $1.2 million in a middle school pencil case, being numb to losses, the concept of Korean Han, weed paranoia while winning a bracelet, jumping in $300-$600 badugi without knowing the rules, going to space, beating Galfond for bracelet no. 2, a decade-old compliment from Shannon Shorr, winning $300k after closing the window, mastering the flute, and why he settled on Steve as his name.
