Written by three leading experts in the field, this textbook describes and explains all aspects of the scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and procedures required to optimize the performance of the various methods. Scanning Probe Microscopy covers not only the physical principles behind scanning probe microscopy but also questions of instrumental designs, basic features of the different imaging modes, and recurring artifacts. The intention is to provide a general textbook for all types of classes that address scanning probe microscopy. Third year undergraduates and beyond should be able to use it for self-study or as textbook to accompany a course on probe microscopy. Furthermore, it will be valuable as reference book in any scanning probe microscopy laboratory. Novel applications and the latest important results are also presented, and the book closes with a look at the future prospects of scanning probe microscopy, also discussing related techniques in nanoscience. Ideally suited as an introduction for graduate students, the book will also serve as a valuable reference for practising researchers developing and using scanning probe techniques.

It's the age of the beginning of true boyhood. When the chubbiness that still clung to toddlerhood, preschool, and kindergarten is finally shed. Six is long, lean, and sturdy-limbed. It is tall, gap-toothed, and and ever-hungry. It is inquisitive, creative, imaginative, and risk-taking.
It seems just yesterday my boys were born, thrusting me into motherhood. I didn't know how I'd take care of two babies. I was still in denial that we were even having one baby when we got the news we were having two. Shocked. You know, it's interesting that I have no memory of sharing the news with friends and family we were expecting a baby. I only remember sharing that we were expecting twins.
I was slow to embrace motherhood. My early days of non-stop nursing were plagued with sleep-deprived daydreams of my life before they came. Of when I used to have an hour to read on the bus, sit and work quietly at the computer while drinking coffee and listening to Pandora. I wasn't really into sitting on the couch, staring at a blank wall while two babies fed. It seemed to never end.
But it did. Far too fast.
Because now they are six.

Церковь Святого Духа (Хайлиггайсткирхе; ) — римско-католическая приходская церковь в историческом центре города Мюнхен (федеральная земля Бавария), на улице Прелат-Миллер-Вег (Prälat-Miller-Weg); была основана в 1208 году как часовня при больнице — является одной из старейших сохранившихся церковных построек города.

История и описание
Предположительно в 1208 году герцог Баварии Людвиг I Кельгеймский основал больницу, которая располагалась непосредственно за старой городской стеной — перед Тальбургскими воротами (Talburgtor). К данному госпиталю принадлежала и романская часовня, посвященная Святой Екатерине Александрийской. Часовня, вероятно, была построена, одновременно с основанием госпиталя. Впервые храм упоминается в письме папы римского Иннокентия IV от 1250 года как «ecclesia sancti spiritus de Monacho», то есть «мюнхенская церковь Святого Духа» — вероятно, по названию больницы.

В 1271 году храм получил собственный приход — третий приход в городе. Городской пожар 1327 года (Stadtbrand von München) уничтожил как больницу, так и часовню Святой Екатерины. Новое готическое здание Хайлиг-Гейст-Кирхе было завершено архитектором (мастером-строителем) Габриэлем Ридлером в 1392 году. В 1724—1730 годах Иоганн Георг Эттенхофер и братья Асам перестроили церковь Святого Духа в стиле барокко. Кроме того, в 1729 году была построена и башня-колокольня у хора с восточной стороны.

После секуляризации в Баварии, в 1806 году, больницу снесли, чтобы освободить место для рынка Виктуалиенмаркт. В 1885—1888 годах архитектор Фридрих Лёвель получил заказ на расширение церкви, занявшей часть бывшего здания больницы. На проект нового западного фасада в стиле необарокко заметно повлияли работы архитектора Джованни Антонио Вискарди. В 1907—1908 годах была проведена полная реконструкция церковного здания, в ходе которой был достроен новый южный притвор.

Во время Второй мировой войны, в 1944—1945 годах, Хайлиг-Гейст-Кирхе была разрушена воздушными налетами — сохранились только внешние стены. Реконструкция началась в 1946 году: главный алтарь, созданный из мрамора в 1728—1730 годах по проекту Николауса Готфрида Штубера, был заново освящен в 1955.

The BlindWalk program conceived and conducted by the Project Vision has become the largest eye donation campaign in the world in five years.
Former Chief Justice of India, Shri Venkatachellaih, flagged off the Bangalore BlindWalk from St Joseph's School in which about 800 persons blindfolded themselves to express their solidarity with the visually challenged persons on World Sight Day.
This was part of the World BlindWalk organised by Project Vision in 150 locations across six countries in which about 100,000 participated,making it the largest eye donation dive in the world. The Walk ended at the Samsung Opera with the pledge by the participants to support the visually challenged persons and to donate their eyes after death. Mr Sandeep Bothra, Country Business Head of Alcon, led the group in taking the pledge.
Large number of students from St Josephs, Karnataka School of Pharmacy, Y'smen International, Alcon and the public came forward to be part of this special experience of blindness in the program. The 800 strong BlindWalk was coordinated by Project Vision with non governmental organisations and institutions like Rotary Abilities, St Joseph's College, CBM, YsMen International, AIFO, ECHO, Samsung, Essilor and so on. Rotary Abilities, which is the only Rotary Club in the world with members who are elusively differently abled, took the co-organising role in the program. Their vision is to pursue projects helping differently-abled people to join the mainstream and create credible, dynamic leadership from the community to bridge the perception gap. This helps to create greater equality, inclusivity and shows people the ability to serve rather than being served.
The fifth edition of World BlindWalk was conducted to focus attention on the issues of the visually challenged persons and to promote eye donation. India has 15 million blind persons – accounting for worlds one third population, as per WHO. About three million of these visually challenged persons could see again through eye donation. But eye donation in the country was only around 69,000 last year despite about ten million deaths as per National Program for the Control of Blindness(NPCB).
BlindWalk is a novel idea developed by Project Vision to express solidarity with the visually challenged people with the caption 'Feel Being Blind'. Through this experience people are motivated to donate their eyes. Conducted in US, China, Nepal, Srilanka, Dubai and India, it the largest eye donation campaign in the world and is part of the eye donation movement started by Project Vision.
The specialty of BlindWalk is that it blindfolds sighted people and takes them on a Walk in public place. Started with the first BlindWalk on the M G Road in Bangalore in 2014, about 500 BlindWalks have been conducted so far. In 2017 it was conducted in 253 locations. The most touching aspect of the BlindWalk is that it is led by visually challenged people. While they walk in the front with their white canes, the blindfolded participants hold on to them to find their way.
The second objective is to create Vision Ambassadors, who will do the coordination with the diseased family and the Eye Bank. Third objective is to break the myths surrounding eye donations. Anyone can donate their eyes. There is no age limit for eye donations. People with any diseases can donate their eyes. The face will not be disfigured. It can be done at home through a operation.

'Tis the season when shoppers fill the malls, and UPS and FedEx trucks crowd the roads.
The amount of "stuff" that moves in and out of households during the Christmas season is staggering. According to the business consulting firm Deloitte, the average American household will spend about US$1,500 during the holiday season.
People will fill their living rooms with boxes, only to discard the packaging — and some gifts — the morning after. Many of us can simply look inside our own closets to see the skeletons of Christmas' past.
We are addicted to buying stuff during these holidays.
If we are the addicts, then who are the drug dealers? They are the retailers. Retailers "push" their wares, enabling a habit that is destroying the planet and creating mountains of landfill.
Read more: 'Tis the season to redesign and reduce our waste
Many retailers make gestures towards sustainable development. They claim to be reducing their own waste or that of their suppliers, but this is simply putting lipstick on a pig. The real harm to the planet is in the stuff they sell.
Why retailers won't change
The largest company in the world, based on revenues, is Walmart. Its sells US$514 billion of stuff annually. That amount of stuff is staggering.
Walmart claims to be committed to sustainability. It just launched Project Gigaton, which will "avoid one billion metric tons (a gigaton) of greenhouse gases from the global value chain by 2030." This goal is laudable. Walmart seeks to divert waste from its own operations and from its suppliers' by reducing energy and packaging.
It makes sense for Walmart to work through suppliers. After all, Walmart's environmental footprint is relatively small. Walmart claims that only 10 per cent of its footprint is from its own stores and facilities; the other 90 per cent is from its suppliers and the suppliers of its suppliers.
As the world's largest company by revenue, Walmart has more than 60,000 direct suppliers. (AP Photo/John Locher)
With over 60,000 direct suppliers and at least double that many that want to supply to Walmart, the giant retailer's reach is vast. If Walmart asks something of its suppliers, it can force significant product changes within and across markets. For example, Walmart's initiatives led to concentrated laundry detergents and the default for personal computers to enter sleeping mode.
Pressuring suppliers is seen as best practice among retailers. Even the fast fashion houses like H&M and Zara are pressuring their suppliers.
The problem isn't upstream, it's downstream
But focusing only on suppliers is a distraction. Upstream waste production isn't the problem, it's the downstream stuff that retailers cajole, coax and push us into buying that's polluting the land and clogging the oceans.
It's simple arithmetic. The efficiency ratio may be getting slightly smaller, but the multiplier (the amount of stuff) keeps getting significantly larger. The drug dealer may be offering cleaner drugs, but they are growing our addiction.
So, why doesn't Walmart fix the real problem?
By working on suppliers, Walmart's costs go down. For example, concentrated detergents cost less to transport and take less shelf space. What's good for its suppliers is good for Walmart — the proverbial win-win.
An incentive to sell more
However, Walmart does not want to work on reducing the stuff it sells to consumers, because doing so reduces sales, which reduces the share price. So Walmart, like all retailers, seeks to sell more and more.
What's good for Walmart is bad for the planet and that's ultimately bad for consumers — it's a win-lose.
Selling stuff that clogs landfills and oceans is clearly the problem. But there is another part of the issue that is more subtle, yet may be even more important.
By pressuring suppliers to clean up their production processes, Walmart may inadvertently be hindering — not helping — sustainable development.
Sustainable development is enabled through the circular economy, which requires suppliers to produce stuff that lasts longer, biodegrades faster or can be repurposed more efficiently. But transitioning into a more circular economy may not always be economically valuable for retailers.
The issue of single-use plastic versus paper bags is a clear case in point. Walmart has refused to take a stand on single-use plastic.
On upstream impacts, plastic wins over paper. Plastic uses less carbon to produce and fewer greenhouse gas emissions to transport. However, on downstream impacts, paper is the clear winner. If properly diverted from landfills, paper will biodegrade in less than a year rather than the hundreds of years that it takes for plastic. By selecting plastics over paper upstream prevents us from addressing the issue downstream.
What can a responsible consumer do?
Most consumers believe they need to "walk with their feet." So they threaten retailers to take their business elsewhere if the retailer doesn't take more action on sustainability. It's like the drug addict threatening to buy their drugs from another drug dealer. It solves the immediate problem, but the drug addict still needs drugs and the drug dealer is still selling them — just different buyers and sellers.
Instead, consumers need to demand retailers to focus on the downstream impacts, not just the upstream — what is often called "extended producer responsibility." Walmart, along with other retailers, must be held responsible for taking back the stuff that they sell or working with suppliers and other retailers so they can.
Patagonia, the outdoor gear company, has started a unique eco-friendly program where it will take back its used clothing from customers, fix them and resell them. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
There are only a few examples of retailers that are taking this step. Ikea is the largest furniture retailer in the U.S, with 11.3 per cent of the market. It will now buy back used furniture from consumers for in-store credit. Patagonia has also started a new business called Worn Wear, which will take back worn clothes, fix them and resell them. In so doing, Patagonia learns about the flaws in their clothing so they can manufacture even more durable clothing.
Imagine if consumers could take their used packaging and toys back to Walmart. The mountains of waste that would pile up in Walmart stores would demand action. And that would assure the health of our planet, not just at Christmas, but forever.

Home/News/In the hospital, under a drip: Pregnant Katya Gordon was hospitalized
In the hospital, under a drip: Pregnant Katya Gordon was hospitalized
Ekaterina Gordon is expecting her third child.
A photo: Boris KUDRYAVOV
Star lawyer Ekaterina Gordon was hospitalized in the last months of pregnancy. The hospitalization of the human rights activist was reported by her friend Lera Kudryavtseva. The TV presenter posted on the social network a picture of Gordon in the hospital room. In the photo, Catherine looks tired and exhausted. The doctors put her on a drip. Judging by the picture, the condition of the expectant mother leaves much to be desired.
However, soon Ekaterina got in touch and reassured the subscribers: everything is in order with her and with the baby. Gordon explained that she became ill due to overwork, and the doctors insisted that she spend several days in the clinic.
"Guys, Lera showed you a dumb picture. Seeing the hospital room and the dropper, many began to worry and take an interest in my well-being. In general, it's okay. I have a long term, so the baby is out of danger. I was just overtired, so the doctors decided to keep me under observation for a couple of days. They took my saber and put in a catheter. Yes, I really don't look very good. By the way, the heart is breaking because of the experiences. Many are experiencing similar emotions right now. I don't give up and don't panic. In a week I will become a cucumber again, "said Gordon.
TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva posted a picture of Gordon in the hospital room on the social network.
Ekaterina is expecting her third son from her husband Viktor Harkhalis. From a past relationship, she already has two boys: Seraphim and Daniel. The TV presenter and owner of the Gordon & Sons law firm got married for the third time in January of this year. The businessman became the chosen one of the blonde. The Harkhalis company is engaged in the supply of musical instruments to Russia. The services of an entrepreneur are used, for example, by the teams of Grigory Leps and Alexander Rosenbaum. The couple's marriage took place on January 19 in one of the capital's registry offices.
From 2000 to 2006, Catherine was married to the famous TV presenter Alexander Gordon. In July 2011, she married a second time to star lawyer Sergei Zhorin: the couple went to the registry office just a month after the start of their romance. The marriage did not last long. A few months later, the couple filed for divorce, despite the fact that Katya was pregnant. In September 2012, Gordon gave birth to a son, Daniil, from Sergey Zhorin. After the baby was born, the ex-spouses tried to glue their broken marriage together and in April 2014 they got married again. However, family life again did not work out, and just a month after the remarriage, Sergei Zhorin again filed for divorce. The couple finally broke up, and by no means friends.
Then Catherine met with a businessman, whose name she kept secret. In 2017, she gave birth to a son, Seraphim, from him. However, the couple broke up before the baby was born. Katya called the reason for this the indecision of her chosen one.

Faq & Quation for Curve 4 Bottle Tabletop Wine Rack By Spectrum Diversified ?
Very nice Curve 4 Bottle Tabletop Wine Rack By Spectrum Diversified. The instructions could be a bit clearer. ?
Sturdy and really fine but assembling was a genuine pain! Browse that there have been missing holes and centre panel needed to be removed but both are not accurate. Instructions are perplexing and parts aren't all numbered which means you really need to pay attention in any other case you can confuse parts and think that there are lacking holes when actually you could be used the wrong part. I am quite make sure you and extension works well, hidden under the additional two panels. I'd have given 5 superstars if the assembling had not been so complicated and very long .
Absolutely love them! These were the perfect height and pop of color my home was needing! I was honestly expecting them to be always a little uncomfortable, nonetheless they are remarkably comfy! My hubby was even shocked!
I unquestionably love this set. The quality is good. This can be a first furniture analysis I have felt compelled to create! ?
Super easy to put together therefore cute and perfect fit for my fresh kitchen! We are newlyweds with a fresh home so it's perfect.

The Khanning of America
Have you read your Qur'an, Mr. Khan? I am an ex-Imam. Allow me to give you a copy.
Dr. Mark Christian
Once again, the American public is being duped. This time it's by Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Party, and Pakistani-American immigration lawyer Khizr Khan. They say that birds of a feather flock together. It couldn't be more true than when we are speaking about this group of pathological liars.
Khan, as we all know, because of the "heart-wrenching" tales spun by the liberal media following his DNC appearance, is the Gold Star parent of a hero, his deceased son, Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004 while serving in the U.S. Army. As a speaker at the Democratic National Convention, Khan was presented to the public as a grieving parent who loves America, the Constitution, and the American way. He even went so far as to wave around his pocket version of the Constitution and challenge Donald Trump: "Have you read the Constitution? I will lend you my copy."
America – you've been conned once again.
Khan wasn't at the DNC with the purpose of honoring his fallen son. His appearance was political theater intended to lure Donald Trump into a scheme, baiting him with the Muslim immigration theme. He asked if Trump had read the Constitution, questioning the constitutionality of a temporary ban on Muslim immigration as Trump has proposed in the past.
When Trump hit back, asking why Khan's wife, Ghazala, did not speak at the DNC and suggesting that it could have to do with Sharia, Khan denied that Sharia was a part of Islam (now, please understand, "sharia" simply means "law" in Arabic). It's interesting then that Khan has authored paper after paper related to Islamic law. Who does he think he's kidding? I would like to ask him, have you read your Qur'an, Mr. Khan? I have. I am an ex-Imam. Allow me to give you a copy!
The very reason Khan's son was killed is because of the Qur'an itself and the Sharia law contained within. The Iraqi who drove the vehicle with the suicide bomb that took his son's life did so for one reason – he was hoping to claim martyrdom by waging jihad. How do I know? Because I know what the Qur'an says. But Khan is getting lots of airtime for spreading his lies and misinformation, while Patricia Smith, the mother of one of the Americans massacred in Benghazi, has been virtually ignored since her Republican National Convention appearance. Ms. Smith was actually standing up for the honor of her son by calling out Hillary Clinton for failing to protect and save the men who were abandoned by her State Department. Khan's appearance, on the other hand, was nothing more than the ever-present political grandstanding typical of Hillary Clinton and her ilk.
Are we supposed to take these theatrics seriously? Khan is a Sharia-observant Muslim who worked for a law firm, Hogan and Hartson, now Hogan and Lovells LLP, and operates a website specializing in Muslim immigration, which has been taken down since questions have arisen about Khan's background. The fact is that Khan has deep ties to an immigration program, EB5, which essentially allows wealthy foreigners to buy their way into America. The EB5 immigration program according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee, is "riddled with flaws and corruption."
Let's explore a few more facts:
Khizr Khan, during his time in Saudi Arabia, advocated personally for Sharia. The law firm for which Khan worked for more than a decade has deep legal and political connections to the Clintons and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have retained that same law firm for years and donated between $10 and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. Trump has repeatedly called for Hillary to return that Saudi cash but her response has always been "no can do." The law firm also does Clinton's taxes. Sounds like this group is very cozy indeed.
As for Khan's assertion that Trump's plan is unlawful, he got that wrong too. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 grants the president the authority to bar any class of aliens deemed a threat to the national security. Unfortunately, that doesn't square with Khan's efforts as a Muslim immigration advocate. If he wants to lend a copy of the Constitution to anyone, it should be Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who want nothing more than to gut the document.
So let's dispense with this ridiculous idea that Khan is a Gold Star dad standing up for the U.S. military and the American way of life. It is nothing short of tyranny that Hillary Clinton and the Left are using the sacrifices of our military to lie and scheme and dupe the American public. Their tactics are reprehensible, exploiting those men and women who served honorably and using their stories for political gain. They apparently have learned propaganda tactics from the masters – the former Soviet Union, North Korea and China.
A total of 4,491 U.S. service members were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2014, 14 of those being Muslim, meaning that Muslims comprise only about 3/10th of 1% of all Iraq War KIA. Humayun Khan was the one that was most politically useful to Hillary Clinton, out of 4,491 dead. The evening news continues to lambaste Trump for his statements about the Khans, though his charges were true. Meanwhile, Khan and CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups continue their unfettered false dialogue about the nature of Islam and its Muslim adherents.
CAIR and American Muslim activists, like Khizr Khan, can wave the U.S. Constitution in the air all they want. The fact remains, however, that that document is the very one they seek to dismantle, one principle at a time. The times we live in are unprecedented. President Obama and his gang of Democrats have spent eight long years walking all over the Judeo-Christian guidelines for governance outlined in our Constitution.
Hillary Clinton, in bed with the Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other dangerous Islamic organizations, will continue that legacy of destruction by using any "gold star" lie she can construct.
We've once again been conned by the Clinton machine, or in this case, it would seem that we've been Khanned.

When will IKEA reopen and what are the opening hours?
The chain is opening 19 of its stores
Sophie Drew
IKEA will reopen on December 2
IKEA will be reopening its doors following the end of the second national lockdown, but when will the Swedish flat-packed furniture superstores be welcoming shoppers again, and what are the restrictions?
The IKEA branch in Reading has been offering a click-and-collect service throughout the lockdown.
The lockdown, which was intended to minimise the second wave of coronavirus ahead of Christmas, meant that non-essential businesses across England were forced to close, or adapt to Covid-safe measures, such as click-and collect and delivery.
Reading IKEA recently had to put 73 staff into isolation following an outbreak at the store.
When is Ikea reopening and what restrictions will be in place?
IKEA will be reopening 19 of its stores from December 2, including its Reading branch.
There will be various restrictions in place to keep customers safe, including a limit on the number of customers able to enter the store at any one time through a staggered entry system.
The click-and-collect services will continue for customers opting to avoid walking round the store.
Customers will be able to pick up Christmas trees from outside the store, ready for December's festivities.
Shoppers will be urged to come prepared with ready-made lists and their own bags.
Those wishing to return items are encouraged to do so at a later date. The chain has a 365 day return policy, leaving you plenty of time.
Customers are required to visit in groups of six or less, as part of a household or with someone in their support bubble.
IKEA have pledged to maintain frequent deep-cleaning routines, and hand sanitiser should be available throughout the store.
Play areas will remain closed, but planning services will continue.
All in-home services remain in operation, as usual. These include 'room of choice' delivery, Task Rabbit assembly and kitchen measuring and installation services.
What do you think of the new tier system?
Let us know below:

When could Reading and Berkshire be expecting snow?

The store is currently open for picking up click-and-collect items only, between 10am and 8pm, and 11am to 5pm on Sunday's.
These will continue to be the store's opening times when it return to its usual operation on Wednesday, December 2.
The Reading store is located at Pincents Kiln Industrial Park, Theale, RG31 7SD.

It's natural for emotions to run high about "milestone" birthdays, even if the thrill of turning 16 becomes the dread of turning 30. After all, these birthdays are important because they mark once-in-a-lifetime milestones.
Giving a colorful and cozy memorial quilt is a great way to turn anticipation (or even apprehension) into CELEBRATION! Whether it's a 1st birthday or a 65th birthday, consider the following personalized quilt ideas to make a special person's special day even more wonderful.
happy 1st birthday
Baby is one, a whole year is done – but what to do with all those 0-3 month, 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 month outfits that the little one has outgrown? Turn outfits into a sewn quilt using the fabric. Whether the quilt is for baby to carry on their way to the Terrible Twos or for mom to cherish for years to come, it's the perfect way to commemorate a 1st birthday.
happy 13th birthday
Thirteen is a very lucky age and any new teenager will feel lucky if you get them a quilt for their room made in their favorite color. After all, now that she's a teenager, she's going to be spending a lot of time there! Imagine… hung like a wall quilt, it could even replace a few tacky boy band posters!
A candy-colored pastel fabric quilt is the perfect treat to gift your Sweet Sixteen. Or consider something more utilitarian now that she has a learner's license – a duvet to keep in the trunk of the car could come in handy in a cold weather emergency.
Over the past 18 years, your child has navigated the rites of passage of youth: family vacations…summer camp…school sports. And with each event came a t-shirt: Yellowstone…Camp Granada…Go Lions! Since he's officially an adult now, a quilt made from these t-shirts is a great way to remind him of all those childhood memories.
As the saying goes, you're not 30, you're 18 with 12 years of experience. Celebrate this milestone with a quilt made from reproduction prints from the 1930s. Fabrics from this decade, in colors like apple green and candy pink, pale yellow and sherbet orange, are a nostalgic reminder of the style and of the vintage class. They make the perfect quilt for the 30-year-old who now realizes looking back is as important as looking forward.
And so the jokes begin – "The Big 4-Oh", "Lordy, Lordy, look who's 40", "39 – again?!?". Your friends will be laughing with you, not at you, when you adopt the "Over the Hill" theme and have a black and white quilt made just for you.
Turning 50 means it's time to focus on yourself and have fun! As the Red Hat Society theme says, "All my life I've done for you." Now it's up to me to do it for me. So do it yourself and have a red and purple colored quilt made. Or if red and purple aren't your colors, how about a Crazy Quilt? With all of its embroidery and embellishments, a crazy quilt is a great way to say, "I deserve something special."
Welcome to retirement and the joys of leaving the world of work, 65! Maybe you'll spend more time around the house…why not treat yourself to a quilt designed to complement your living room? Or maybe you're ready to travel…a quilt with an around the world design will represent your dreams during those brief visits home. Or maybe you're just looking forward to spending more time with your family and friends…a quilt with all their signatures or even photos will remind you why you've worked so hard to get where you are.
When it comes to birthdays, whether it's a milestone or you're just happy to be a year older and wiser, the best advice is WISH BIG! After all, every birthday is a new beginning, full of promise and opportunity…and the chance to curl up in a warm, wonderful duvet!

Point and click your mouse to aim your desired shot - once you click, your pool cue will begin moving back and forth. For a longer shot, let the cue farther away and then release, or, for a shorter shot, release when the cue is closer to the ball.
As far as rules go, Pool Online may seem like a simple port of billiards, but it's much more than that. Players are given 8 lives and with every missed shot, you lose half of one live. For every pool ball made, you'll gain a half a live and 100 points. Making shots in succession will increase the amount of points you're making, so getting shots in succession is essential for a high score, and to pass levels you'll need a minimum score, too.
Most online pool games will let you keep playing until you've completed the game - except for this one. With a set amount of lives, a scoreboard, and possible bonus points, Pool Online isn't like every other pool game you've ever played.
Players will be immediately used to the control scheme right when they're playing. It's simple to understand and most players will become skilled with the controls within a game or two. Once you know what you're doing, you'll be making tons of consecutive shots, and hopefully getting through tons of levels.
The first level of Online Pool requires you to score at least 1500 points - that's making at least every shot with a few consecutive shots. As the game goes on, the point requirements for each level get harder, and you'll have to end up making almost every shot in succession in later levels.
To make sure that you get a good score, try angling your shots as best you can. Remember that there's no time limit while playing Pool Online, so check out all of our options before playing. Patience is probably your best bet when trying to get to later levels; that, and luck.

Q: How do I go about training a regression model for a dataset having an two big tensors as inputs? I have a dataset that looks like this -

The first column are image features where one row is now just a tensor of shape (512,7,7). The second column is embedding vectors where one row is a tensor of shape (1,5,768).
What I want to do is to train a regression model in pytorch. I have built a dataset class here -
 where I return a sample of one row from the dataframe, like [img_tensor, text_tensor, label]. I now want to create a dataloader and write a small regression model that will take this data in and train it. I am not sure how to begin the model and how the first layer would look like. I would appreciate any help with this.
I also created a dataloader of batch size 4 but not sure if it looks right!

It sounds a little funny, but we're experts at drilling holes. We have a hydraulic paper drilling machine that features many different sizes of paper drills and enable us to position the hole just about anywhere on the sheet of paper. Just remember to allow 5/8" of extra margin for three-hole drilling along the side of the sheet of paper.

A Building Automation System (BAS) has lulled many into a false sense of security. A commercial building controlled by a BAS could lay claim to being a "Smart Building." All problems solved, right? Not so fast.
Cooling towers are used to remove heat from a building. Cooling a stream of water to a lower temperature using evaporation does this. Large cooling towers are usually used in industries like power plants, petroleum refineries and various manufacturing facilities. They vary in size from large hyperboloid structures to smaller ones on the rooftops of shopping centers, hospitals or universities.


After watching the Bianconeri record their greatest margin of victory of the season, Massimiliano Allegri praised the way his men swatted aside Torino at Juventus Stadium to reach the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
After taking a one-goal lead into the interval, the hosts turned on the style with a further three strikes in the second period, capitalising on Cristian Molinaro's 49th minute dismissal.
Speaking to the media, the Tuscan tactician began: "The team played very well, especially in the second half, when we made the most of our numerical advantage.
"Today we came up against a Torino outfit that is enjoying a good run themselves and had fresher legs than us, but we used the ball extremely well and that helped us a great deal.
Daniele Rugani's assured display in defence in his very first start since arriving in the summer was another reason for Allegri to be pleased with a good night's work.
Satisfied with the way his side signed off the calendar year at Juventus Stadium with a win that sees the Bianconeri still competing for silverware on multiple fronts, Allegri warned against taking lowly Carpi at all lightly in their final fixture of 2015 next Sunday.
"It's important that we're in the quarter-finals and enter 2016 fighting strongly in all three competitions. That said, we've another match this weekend that won't be easy and we need to be on top of our game.

Boise-Eliot/Humboldt School is a special place. It stands, 90-year-old red brick and mortar, amongst newly constructed condos, craft breweries, and combination laundromat-bars, just a block off historic Mississippi Avenue in the Albina area of North Portland, Oregon. It is an obstinate place that, despite its decreasing enrollment and "level one" Oregon State School Report Card status, has survived two separate school closures and simply refused to yield to the forces of gentrification.
A recent article in Governing: The States and Localities described Portland as "the most gentrified city of the century," and the vast majority of the gentrified tracts are in North and Northeast Portland. Although North Portland's demographics have drastically changed over the last two decades, from predominantly African American to predominantly white, Boise-Eliot/Humboldt's student population hasn't. In a neighborhood that is mostly white, we serve the largest volume of African American students in the state. Less than half of the students who live within our district boundary attend our school, and less than half of our student population lives in our neighborhood.
As gentrification has forced out many working-class families of color, affluent white families, who often choose to opt out of the neighborhood's "failing" public schools, have moved in. Many of the students we teach at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt travel long distances, riding public transportation from far in East Portland, to attend our historically Black school. Families often use the addresses of aunties, grandmas, and friends to ensure that their sons and daughters will continue a legacy that sometimes dates back to the flood of 1948, which destroyed the World War II shipyard-worker city of Vanport and pushed its largely African American population into the Albina area.
The mechanisms of segregated housing—unfair lending practices, exclusionary laws, eminent domain, urban renewal, and gentrification—are not distinct to Portland. These racist laws and practices continue to affect communities nationally. Our school, our neighborhood, and our students are part of a larger story, a larger conversation. Because this history is so relevant to our students' lives and is often ignored by traditional curriculum, we decided to co-teach an integrated language arts/social studies unit on gentrification and neighborhood history to our 8th graders.
We hoped this unit would say: Yes, you've lived this. You are living this. Your experiences are important. And, in the face of a changing community, you have something to share that is irreplaceable. You have the opportunity to educate our community and neighborhood about a destructive process that we've all been part of.
We wanted to help students wade through Oregon's often ignored racial history, and to help them feel empowered to go beyond the facts and into the messiness of evaluation and activism. What resulted was a yearlong process that included facilitating structured student discussions; interviewing families; lots of reading and writing; self-publishing a digital multimedia book about the history of race in our state, city, and neighborhood; and a student-driven community activism project.
"Those Fancy Apartments Are Going Up All Over"
We decided to launch our unit with a general overview of gentrification—What is it? How has our neighborhood changed?—and students' personal narratives. We wanted to show students that this unit was deeply rooted in their own experiences. Moreover, we hoped to encourage students to find their own voices to talk back to discriminatory practices.
In his social studies class, Jeff began with a simple definition: "Gentrification is a change in a neighborhood," he said, writing the sentence as a bullet point on a note sheet beneath the document camera. The students dutifully copied the sentence in the notes section of their social studies notebooks. "Our neighborhood has gone through gentrification. A lot of you grew up here. How have you seen it change?" Jeff asked the class.
The students looked up from their notes, and a few hands went halfway up. "The New Seasons [a high-end grocery store] is new. Does that count?" asked Jada.
"Absolutely, that's a change. Let's write it down." Jeff wrote a second bullet in the notes: "How has our neighborhood changed?" and beneath it he put a dash and wrote "New Seasons Market."
A few more hands shot up. "There are a lot more white people," stated Jayla. "I'm not trying to be racist, but I was walking down Mississippi and I didn't see any Black people at all, and it didn't used to be like that."
"They tore down that one bar; what was it called?" asked Aaliyah.
"LV's 22? Wasn't that it?" offered Jayla, leaning forward in her seat.
"That's interesting. What are they building in its place?" Jeff prodded.
"Probably some of those fancy new apartments. They're going up all over, down Mississippi and Vancouver and Williams," said Jayla.
Jeff added "a lot of new buildings" to the list as students named more changes they had seen in the neighborhood. MyKyla talked about her family moving. Jordan said the butcher shop no longer carried certain items, like oxtails, that her grandma wanted. Hailey mentioned that Self-Enhancement, Inc. (a Black community-focused charter school and community resource) had moved its services out to East Portland—or, as our students call it, "The Numbers" (a reference to street names like 157th Avenue). Aaliyah talked about the new bike lanes on Vancouver and Williams, major thoroughfares a few blocks from the school. It just kept coming. After a substantial list was created, we organized our experiences into three categories: people, physical structures, and community services.
"But gentrification isn't any old change," Jeff said. "It impacts certain people more than others, doesn't it? Jayla, what did you notice about race in our neighborhood? Can you connect that to gentrification?"
"Well," Jayla began, "it seems like the people who were already here, Black people, have been hurt more."
Later, we would discuss specific aspects of Portland's development, like using eminent domain to force people of color and low-income families out of their homes. But the students seemed ready to write, and Jeff introduced the first assignment of our unit—the personal narrative: "We've all seen or experienced at least one aspect of gentrification, but many of our families have been here for generations."
"My great-grandma went here!" shouted a student.
"Over the weekend you are going to interview your parents, grandma, auntie, someone you live with, about your family's experiences with gentrification. You can ask them whatever you want, but there are a few questions that you have to ask. Turn your notebooks to your writing section and let's get them written down. What section?"
"Writing!" came a chorus of voices.

Fast-growing IU Model UN team wins national awards
Note: This guest post was provided by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Competing against more than 30 colleges and universities while speaking the language of diplomacy, the IU Bloomington Model United Nations team earned several awards at the Southern Regional Model UN conference. It is the latest indication of the surge in size and prominence of the Model UN program on the Bloomington campus.
Model UN is a high school and collegiate activity that mimics the United Nations. Teams of students represent nations around the world as delegates to UN committees. They caucus, hold formal debates, negotiate agreements and then select the most effective delegates.
The IU Model UN leadership team: from left, Casey Crandell, Mara Gonzalez Souto, coach Susan Siena, Erin McMenamin, Eric Cui, Bradi Heaberlin, Kelsey Cooper and Rashmika Nedungadi.
On that score, IU excelled at the conference this month in Charlotte, N.C., where the theme was "Ensuring Peace and Security in a Turbulent Global Environment: Fostering Prosperity and Forward Movement." IU International Court of Justice Delegate Rashmika Negundadi won an individual award and the IU delegations representing Norway, Oman and Japan were honored. Forty-three IU students traveled to the conference, led by coach Susan Siena.
"I'm so proud of our students and what their performance in Charlotte says about the growth of Model UN at IU," Siena said. "This is a program that gives students a chance to discuss pressing global issues as they gain critical career-building skills in teamwork, negotiating and public speaking. When you do well, as our team discovered, it can also be a whole lot of fun."
The Hoosier team is sponsored by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs in Bloomington, where Siena is a faculty member, and by the IU Bloomington Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and the College of Arts and Sciences. Re-established in 2012, the team has approximately doubled in participants over the past year.
"The students on our Model UN team represent many disciplines across campus and a rigorous undergraduate career," said Dennis Groth, interim vice provost for undergraduate education. "They are building skills in diplomacy and an understanding of international issues facing our world today. These experiences will prepare them to solve global problems as IU alumni, and we celebrate their endeavors toward leadership and constructive solutions. "
While the intercollegiate conferences are the cornerstone of Model UN at IU, the program is also expanding in other ways. The group hosts a summer camp on the Bloomington campus that is now in its second year and has attracted high school Model UN competitors from around the world.

Congress Again Favors Big Money Over Small Investors
The Fiscal Times - In truth, the big bank's concerns over proposed reforms may, in part, be based on false assumptions. In a study published in the Journal of Financial Planning, Michael Finke and Thomas Langdon (professors at Texas Tech and Roger Williams University, respectively, and both certified financial planners) found "no statistical differences" in the ability of fiduciaries "to provide a broad range of products (or) the ability to provide tailored advice (or) the cost of compliance." In comparing states that already have a fiduciary duty requirement in place and those that don't, they also couldn't find any significant difference in the percentages of clients with high net worth. That all suggests that the big banks wouldn't suffer too much from adopting the higher standard.

Home News Rebuck: 'Brexit too big a risk to take'
Rebuck: 'Brexit too big a risk to take'
Published June 1, 2016 by Katherine Cowdrey
Penguin Random House chair Gail Rebuck has said that she and other UK bosses for parent company Bertelsmann are "unanimous" in wanting to stay inside...
Penguin Random House chair Gail Rebuck has said that she and other UK bosses for parent company Bertelsmann are "unanimous" in wanting to stay inside the European Union, because leaving "it is too big a risk to take".
In an interview for Bertelsmann on the company's website, Baroness Rebuck, a senior executive on the board, said consensus among Bertelsmann UK directors was reached after considering "a variety of strategic and commercial reasons", including the "isolationist" message that leaving the EU would send to the global marketplace, possibly making it "more challenging to attract global business service opportunities".
Baroness Rebuck reasoned: "The biggest problem is that we can't say, because no one really knows what 'out' looks like," she said. "That is one of the reasons why I think it is too big a risk to take."
She added: "At the moment, we have full access to the EU's single market of 500 million consumers with a say about how it functions...we can make sure the rules work for our companies and for the British economy, as well as for other businesses in the EU". Alternative models to single market access may exist, she said, but they are unlikely to be "as good as the deal we have". She further cited loss of EU funding for universities and the arts and the result of fewer talented people to work in the creative industries as cause for concern, as well as reports revealing publishers would be impacted by a fall in advertising revenues.
"The EU has helped the UK to become a creative powerhouse," she said. "This is partly because of the EU funding that creative industries receive and partly because our ability to trade freely with 27 other countries in Europe has boosted cultural exports for decades and enabled British artists to tour and collaborate across borders. There are around two million people working in the creative industries in the U.K. and all need those industries to keep growing and flourishing. Over 125,000 EU students study in UK universities and 15% of their academic staff are from EU countries. They make an important contribution to the U.K. economy and culture but they are also a key source of talent.
"Finally and importantly, EU laws help protect copyright for the authors, creators, writers and musicians who are so crucial to many of Bertelsmann's businesses. Although there are differences in direction from time to time, I believe that the UK is better off with a seat at the table influencing policy."
She added: "From a broader business point of view, no one on either side of the debate denies that the British economy would take a hit if we were to leave. The only questions are how bad would it be, and how long would it last – that is not good for any of our businesses."
Baroness Rebuck also quoted an online poll conducted by The Bookseller in February reporting that 70% of those expressing an opinion were in favour of remaining in Europe, including Waterstones c.e.o. James Daunt, whose own reasons also ranged from stability and certainty to worry about the imposition of new trade barriers, lack of foreign direct investment and free movement of workers.
Addressing her colleagues in the UK, Rebuck concluded: "Whatever your views on the EU, please make sure you vote. This is a decision that will have an impact for well over a decade and – whichever way you vote – it is important that this is a decision that you helped to make and not one that is made for you."
Labour life peer Lord Peter Mandelson has also argued that EU membership was "crucial" to publishing at the Publishers Assocation's a.g.m. (18th May), for helping to protect copyright. While in debate with prominent Eurosceptic MP Sir William Cash, Mandelson said government is most effective "when it is operating at the right levels", referencing the EU's "muscle to take on Google", and the benefits of the freedom it provides publishers to move goods, services, finance, people and their ideas around Europe. Sir Cash argued in contrast that "it's about democracy and who governs you. And that is a hugely important question, because it is literally about our future."
Reports voters are shifting towards Brexit circulated yesterday following two Guardian/ICM polls, with voters split 52:48 in favour of leaving the EU.

Flynn is teething. Horses, like humans, possess "baby" teeth and adult teeth. From around the age of one onwards, they begin the process of losing their baby teeth and getting their adult teeth. This will continue until about the age of five, when their last permanent teeth (for males horses at least, as only some females get these last teeth) – their canine teeth – erupt. Flynn last visited the horse dentist (yes, such a person exists) in July this year. At the time, he was yet to show any signs of his canine teeth coming through. But, a few weeks ago as he stood in front of me and yawned a massive horsey yawn, I noticed two little canine teeth poking through on his bottom jaw.
I found this interesting, as in the weeks before this discovery, Flynn had developed a disconcerting habit of tossing his head. As I do, I had considered the various possibilities of why he might be doing this, and on seeing his latest dental developments, wondered if it was simply because his mouth was hurting. The head tossing, now accompanied by occasional nipping and grumpy moments has continued – and so yesterday, Monday, as he stood before me asking for a scratch, I slid my thump into his mouth and found two hard lumps on his top jaw – just where the top canines will poke through. For some unknown reason, I rubbed this area with my thumb and found that my grumpy little horse stood, with his head down, eyes closed, enjoying the sensation!
As I stood in the middle of the horse paddock, I reflected on how much my life has changed. For many years, I worked in a comfortable office, caught up in a seemingly never ending cycle of meetings, deadlines, visions statements and the pressure to ensure that everything I was responsible for was bigger and better than what it was yesterday. Now please don't get me wrong – there is a time and place for those things – but sadly, as is so often the case when surrounded by never ending demands, the truly important things can be easily forgotten. So caught up in making things work, we forget why we are doing those things in the first place.
And so, a couple of years later, I find myself standing in a horse paddock on a Monday morning. The wind is fresh and cold, the sky is overcast and it is drizzling. The warm comfortable office is a memory and I have my hand inside a horse's mouth. There would be those who would suggest I have sold myself short – run away from what I am "called" to do – yet, the satisfaction I feel at bringing relief to a small horse with a sore mouth – is simply irreplaceable.

5th DCA: Can estate beneficiaries sue the guardian's lawyers for estate planning malpractice?
that such negligence resulted in and was the proximate cause of loss to the plaintiff.
The "privity of contract" requirement has been relaxed/eliminated where it was the apparent intent of the client to benefit a third party. The most common example of this exception being in the estate planning area, where the plaintiff is a named beneficiary of the decedent's will and the attorney-defendant drafted the will. However, the third party intended beneficiary exception to the rule of privity is NOT limited to will drafting cases. It can extend to any third party who was the intended beneficiary of the lawyer's work. How far the privity exception goes is what this case is all about.
Can estate beneficiaries sue guardians' lawyers for estate planning malpractice? YES!
In this case the plaintiffs were named beneficiaries of the decedent's will. Prior to his death, the decedent was adjudicated partially incompetent and three guardians were appointed for him. The guardians then obtained a court order allowing them to implement an estate-tax savings plan, including the creation of a family limited partnership ("FLP"). The goal of this estate planning was to reduce taxes for the benefit of the estate's beneficiaries, including the plaintiffs. Unfortunately, when the decedent died, about 2 1/2 years later, the FLP plan hadn't been fully implemented, thus forfeiting the anticipated tax savings.
Generally, a party who retains an attorney is in privity with that attorney and may bring a negligence action for legal malpractice. Angel, Cohen & Rogovin v. Oberon Inv., N.V., 512 So.2d 192, 194 (Fla.1987). A limited exception to the privity requirement in the area of will drafting allows an intended beneficiary to file a legal malpractice claim for losses resulting from a lawyer's actions or inactions, where it was the apparent intent of the client to benefit that third party. Id.; See Espinosa v. Sparber, Shevin, Shapo, Rosen & Heilbronner, 612 So.2d 1378, 1380 (Fla.1993); Kinney v. Shinholser, 663 So.2d 643, 646 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995). Standing to pursue a legal malpractice action is conferred upon "those who can show that the testator's intent as expressed in the will is frustrated by the negligence of the testator's attorney." Espinosa, 612 So.2d at 1380. While the standing exception has been relaxed in will drafting situations, "the third party intended beneficiary exception to the rule of privity is not limited to will drafting cases." Winston v. Brogan, 844 F.Supp. 753, 756 (S.D.Fla.1994) (citing Greenberg v. Mahoney Adams & Criser, P.A., 614 So.2d 604, 605 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993)).
Appellees take the position that there is "absolutely no evidence of any attorney/client relationship" between Appellants and Appellees. The record demonstrates that the overall intent of Cowart's retaining counsel was to create and establish a FLP for the purpose of preserving and maintaining the estate assets and preventing its dissipation through estate taxes. The petition seeking appointment of a guardian of Cowart's property noted that "[t]he estate plan calls for the creation of a family limited partnership into which the Ward's assets are transferred." The expectation, according to the petition, was that "[u]nder current tax laws, the implementation of this estate tax planning may save the estate as much as forty percent (40%) in estate taxes." The purpose of the estate plan was to benefit all named and intended beneficiaries; the larger the net estate, the better for all who might partake.
While there may have been animosity or acrimony among the various heirs and beneficiaries, the actions of retained counsel and the direction of the court in ordering the implementation of the estate plan were intended to benefit all and harm none. As noted in Winston, and as appears herein, while there may be conflict among the parties, there is no indication of a conflict of interest regarding the need to maximize the estate vis-à-vis less taxes and estate preservation. 844 F.Supp. at 756. If the dispute concerns whether or not Appellants were intended beneficiaries, the issue is one of fact for the jury to determine. See id. at 757.
It's not unusual for guardianship lawyers to get drawn into complex tax planning for wealthy wards. How might this happen? Assume "mom" is elderly and suffering from dementia. For her own safety, her children have her adjudicated legally incapacitated, and a guardian is appointed for her. Once the family takes stock of mom's assets, they realize she's done little to no estate planning. With a little tax planning, maybe involving a FLP, the family can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes without prejudicing mom in any way. The family asks the guardianship court for approval to proceed, gets it, and tells guardian to make it happen. Guardian turns to lawyer (i.e., you), says make it happen. Ward dies before you make it happen. Presto! Guardianship lawyer is now a defendant in an estate planning malpractice suit. That's what happened in Winston v. Brogan, 844 F.Supp. 753 (S.D.Fla.1994) (cited by the 5th DCA above), and what happened in this case.
Bottom line, if you're a guardianship lawyer, make sure you know what you're doing before you get pulled into some complex, tax-driven estate planning as part of a guardianship proceeding. Complex tax planning is usually not part of the deal for most guardianship lawyers. Don't dabble; make the guardian hire an expert. If you get this wrong, you can get sued, and the plaintiffs won't be your client, the guardian (who may love you!), it'll be people you never met (or may have even been adverse to you in the guardianship proceeding): the estate's beneficiaries.


The year is swiftly drawing to a close, but before it does so we still have some good markets lined up for you.

The mischievous Spellbound Puppets are back for the last time this year on Saturday 20 December at 11am to entertain and enthral the children with their special Christmas show.
Don't miss this delightful opportunity of allowing your children to experience an enchanting Christmas message. The show is suitable for children from 4 to 8 years and is free of charge. Older children are also welcome, as after the show there is a puppet making workshop at a cost of R50 per child.
After the last Moonlight Market on Tuesday 23 December, the market will close for a short recess and will re-open on Thursday 08 January 2015.
On behalf of all the stallholders and market management we thank you for your loyal support in 2014 and we look forward to being of service to you in 2015.

Q: Is CGO suddenly broken on Windows? My Windows development environment just broke and I can't figure it out. Linux is still fine.
If I try to compile the following simple code, CGO seems not to work. This all worked fine the last time I used it. The only changes were subversion upgrades. I've tried two different systems and got the same result. I don't think it's me.
The two systems are Windows 11 with the latest updates (64-bit). Go 1.18.3. gcc (tdm64-1) 10.3.0, vscode 1.68.1 but also just on the command line fails. On one system I tried reinstalling a bunch of things. The other not. Both fail the same.
Help???
main.go:
package main

/*
#include "stdio.h"
*/
import "C"

func main() {
    C.printf(C.CString("Hello world\n"))
}

vscode Result:
go list failed to return CompiledGoFiles. This may indicate failure to perform cgo processing; try building at the command line. See https://golang.org/issue/38990.
printf not declared by package C
CString not declared by package C

Command line says:

My greater problem... It says:

And I swear this stuff used to work just fine...
package gui

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/webview/webview"
)

func OpenWindow(url string) {
    log.Print("Settings: OpenUI ", url)

    wv = webview.New(true)
    defer wv.Destroy()

    wv.Bind("closewindow", CloseWindow)
    wv.Navigate(url)
    wv.Run()

}

A: Your code is broken.

cgo command
Calling variadic C functions is not supported. It is possible to circumvent this by using a C function wrapper.  For example:
package main

// #include <stdio.h>
// #include <stdlib.h>
//
// static void myprint(char* s) {
//   printf("%s\n", s);
// }
import "C"
import "unsafe"

func main() {
  cs := C.CString("Hello from stdio")
  C.myprint(cs)
  C.free(unsafe.Pointer(cs))
}


Living in Maui for several years was truly an adventure. There are many cultural idiosyncrasies, and one of them is the thoroughness with which they check you out before they hire you for virtually any job. Since many people move to the Islands specifically to escape (literally or figuratively) from the mainland and become more "one with the universe" (with the first order of business often being a name change from Brunhilde Rabinowitz, stock girl at WalMart in Dayton, Ohio, to "Summer Rain, numerologist and chakra reader, under the waterfalls of Kula") it behooves employers to dig up a little more information than simply taking your word for who you are and what's written on your new, fantasy resume.
She hands me a little yellow cup, all bound up with what looked like an entire roll of duct tape, with a large key attached to it, and points me to a small room, where I spent the next 20 minutes peeling miles of sticky duct tape off the container (geez, I heard they were tamper-proof, but this was ridiculous), until I FINALLY got the lid off, did my duty for God and King Kamehameha, spent another 20 minutes re-taping the lid, and triumphantly returned my sample to the front desk, at which point the ENTIRE staff burst into hysterical, raucous laughter.
I'm not gonna lie. I spit coughed coffee all over my desk. That is hysterical! It sounds like something that I would do. Because they ALWAYS hand you the container! ALWAYS!
Ha! How brave of you to share this story!! Laughing til the tears came!
That could have been ANYONE of us!!! Thank god it was you 1st though!!!! Laughed so hard i cried too!!!!
What in the world would I do without the daily dose of, yes, very loud hysterics all by myself, your funniness!!!
Never in my life has anyone EVER made me laugh this hard. Keep up the fabulous, funny, adventures, my girlfriend :-) YOU ARE SOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!
That is definitely the funniest thing I've heard all week. I am so entertained imagining you working so hard to undo the tape and then tape it all up again!!
It was a loooong process! Guess I should have asked for help! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Oh my goodness, Jake is so cute!! How embarassing. Don't feel bad though. It's these memories that will provide you with great stories as the years go on. I have quite a few VERY embarassing stories of things I've done wrong!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Today was my annual employee physical (I work for a hospital), so this was extra funny.
I thought I was the only one in the world who had trouble with the pee test, but I think you beat me with that story! You get the Academy Award for funniest story, and I'll get one for a Supporting role since I peed into a Dixie Cup after not seeing the hermetically sealed cups stored on a high shelf. The nurses laughed at me and wouldn't touch it. In the end, they had to because I ran out of pee! Great and funny story to read during my morning lull.
So funny! Thanks for sharing, loved the image as well!
They were probably wondering what the heck you were doing in the bathroom for so long. Oh Man, that is one for the textbooks on humor.
HAHAHA! This is too, too funny! Will have to share with my daughter as she is one of the folks who helps conduct pre-employment pee tests. I'm sure she's never had such a thing happen either.
That is so funny. You know no work got done the entire time you were in the restroom and none for at least an hour after you left! You certainly did spread the joy!
I know I commented this afternoon but I don't see it here. I wanted to tell you how funny this was, and how I did a similar thing when I didn't see the hermetically sealed cups in the bathroom, and used a Dixie cup instead. Your incident was much funnier than mine – I laughed out loud!!
I read this at Triple A, a place that is anything but exciting. And I couldn't help but laugh out loud!
That is AWESOME! I didn't see that coming at all…hahaha! Found you on FTSF and so glad I did!
My inner self is rolling on the floor screaming with laughter at this; my outer self is pretending to be professional and get on with work (though the large-but-silent grin may give the game away – work's not meant to look fun). Thanks for sharing.
OMG this is HILARIOUS!!! I cannot stop laughing!!!
Oh my! This is totally something I'd do, though I still literally laughed out loud too!
Oh, sweet heavens! I failed a drug screen. My experience says they're more of an intelligence test, really. I failed. Sadly.
I am howling…..that is so funny! I love your humor!
Vicki, you are seriously good!!!! I am supposed to be chasing a deadline and here I am….laughing my eyes out!
