Q: A Tk label that can be moved by dragging I want to have a Tk label that can be moved in a window by dragging. Here's how I tried to get it:

*

*Place a label by place using an absolute coordinate.

*Bind the events ButtonPress and ButtonRelease, and monitor whether the mouse button is pressed. Also record the coordinate of the mouse pointer when the user start dragging.

*Bind the event Motion and get the coordinate of the pointer.  Calculate the difference between the two coordinates, and add it to the coordinate of the label to get the new coordinate of the label.

*Set the new coordinate of the label by calling place again.

Here's the code. It's written in OCaml, but I think it clear what I'm doing here.
let () =
  let t = openTk () in
  let l = Label.create ~text:"move me" t in
  place ~x:100 ~y:100 l;
  let d = ref false
  and xprev = ref 0 and yprev = ref 0 in
  bind ~events:[`ButtonPress] ~fields:[`MouseX; `MouseY]
    ~action:(fun ev -> d := true; xprev := ev.ev_MouseX; yprev := ev.ev_MouseY)
    l;
  bind ~events:[`ButtonRelease] ~action:(fun _ -> d := false) l;
  bind ~events:[`Motion] ~fields:[`MouseX; `MouseY]
    ~action: (fun ev ->
     if !d then
       let x = Winfo.x l and y = Winfo.y l in
       place ~x:(x + ev.ev_MouseX - !xprev) ~y:(y + ev.ev_MouseY - !yprev) l)
    l;
  mainLoop ()

It seems this works, but is this a correct way to do what I wanted to do?

A: Yes, using place and mouse bindings is the right way to do it.

One tool, one app, endless possibilities
Rugged handhelds part of residential recycling program
Create a simple but comprehensive way to gather data on a new recycling program and use that data to help the program find success.
A customer-specific package of a Nautiz X7 rugged handheld with RFID and GPS functionality, custom process software from Logic Concepts, and an RFID reader and antenna from A.C.C. Systems.
Sanitation field workers gather collection data for every recycling container in the city. The department can use the data target low-participation areas for educational efforts, and use the system to gather other useful data as well.
Rugged handhelds enable success in a new residential recycling program for a North Carolina public works department.
There's an old saying: When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In less pithy terms, it means if you've got a tool or some specific knowledge, you want to apply it everywhere you can. And that can certainly be either a positive or a negative thing.
In the expanding world of handheld technology solutions, the possibilities are vast – nails everywhere you look. And that's a very good thing for Kings Mountain, North Carolina, where the public works department is using the powerful combination of a Nautiz X7 handheld computer, a customized Logic Concepts software program and a rugged radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna and reader to maximize their curbside recycling program. And that's just the beginning.
It started with a simple sales call. Mack McCarter of Logic Concepts, a creative technology company in Greenville, South Carolina that specializes in data collection systems, contacted Kings Mountain about streamlining their sanitation collection process – "get the right people to the right place, save gas," McCarter explains.
He talked to Jackie Barnette, public works director of Kings Mountain, a city of roughly 11,000 people. And while Barnette was open to McCarter's idea, he had something else in mind, too. "We were just developing a curbside recycling program, with a grant from the state of North Carolina to get started," Barnette recalls. "The grant indicated a preference for using RFID readers to track recycling participation."
Now, Kings Mountain had previously considered using handheld computers for other applications, but hadn't been able to justify the cost. But a handheld computer with RFID capability built in? Now they had justification, and Logic Concepts offered a solution.
Jumping from the idea of the initial sanitation application to the RFID recycling application was a common phenomenon for handheld users, McCarter says. "People see our products and the wheels start turning. They see that they push this button and it tracks this thing, and they start thinking, 'How does this apply to other issues we have? We could make this button do that…'"
So Logic Concepts put together the ideal tool for the job. It started with the Nautiz X7 rugged handheld from Handheld US in Corvallis, Oregon, a respected provider of mobile technology. "Our software can go on a host of different hardware," McCarter says, "but we prefer to partner with Handheld. After trying other hardware in the field in the past, now we go with Handheld, because they offer the best product."
The Nautiz X7 had everything Kings Mountain would need: A rugged, easy-to-operate handheld tool with an impressive array of functionality and performance. The 17-ounce (490 g) Nautiz X7 has optional RFID capability, integrated GPS, an autofocus 3-MP flash camera, voice-note capability, a non-reflecting touchscreen and a battery life of 12 hours. Plus, it's rugged enough for field work – it's impervious to dust and water, it can withstand repeated drops, it operates in temperatures up to 140° F (60° C), and it comes with a three-year warranty.
Logic Concepts then created a customized software program for Kings Mountain. Their software solutions are based on a simple programmable touchscreen interface, with buttons for different data-gathering functions. "The customer knows the right questions to ask, based on what they need to know," McCarter says. "We create a process that lets a field worker gather that data easily and consistently, using a simple button-level approach."
The final piece of the puzzle was the RFID-specific functionality. Logic Concepts sought out A.C.C. Systems, a Bohemia, New York, company that supplies a full spectrum of RFID equipment for clients as diverse as NASA and NASCAR. A.C.C. provided a RFID reader and antenna combination for the Nautiz X7 that maintained the handheld tool's waterproof, dustproof, vibration-resistant ruggedness.
Once the comprehensive solution was created, Kings Mountain put it to work. The recycling program's overall goals were straightforward – haul less garbage to a landfill, pay less in landfill charges, save money while helping the environment – but at the detail level they needed to know which households were doing what.
First the city installed RFID chips in each of the approximately 4,200 recycling containers in the sanitation district, attaching a corresponding street address to each. Barnette's team then split the district into 10 zones – the pickup schedule is once every two weeks, so there are 10 different daily routes. Using the dash-mounted Nautiz X7, field workers check recycling containers as they follow their route. The simple button-based software also enables them to gather detailed information: Is there a container out at each address, does the container match the address, is it full or half-full, are there non-recyclables mixed in, does the container need repair or replacement?
Using the Nautiz X7's built-in Wi-Fi functionality, at the end of their shift the field workers upload the day's data directly to the central public works computer with one touch of a button. The department uses the information in a variety of ways – but most importantly to enable the success of the recycling program. "We've been keeping records for six weeks now," Barnette notes. "The system is really user-friendly, and the workers love it. Already we can tell how much participation there is in each zone. We'll target the zones with lower participation levels, providing those folks with more education on the benefits of the program. Having the RFID data helps us allocate our resources where they're most needed."
Mission accomplished, then. But now that they have this cool high-tech hammer…
"Once they got the system in there and accomplished the initial scope, they quickly recognized the ability to do additional data-gathering," McCarter reports. "The software offers many more options," Barnette adds. "We can track low-hanging branches, roadside garbage… and now our local gas utility is looking at this." "The more you work with this technology, the more applications you see for it," McCarter says. "The gas utility wants to locate all the valves in town, document incidents and solutions, and ensure regulatory compliance. The city could use it for stormwater management, police and fire, asset management… it's like a library of applications people can share – you can adapt it to any need. It illustrates the versatility of the hardware and software working together."
A.C.C. Systems' Nicholas Addonisio puts it best: "Simple asset tracking and inventory management applications using RFID technology are common today. But Logic Concepts has demonstrated that RFID readers no longer have to remain in a warehouse and perform simple tasks while mounted on a wall. The possibilities for mobile asset tracking and management are endless."

Q: 12.04 not mounting Kindle 3 I've tried plugging in my Kindle (3rd generation-keyboard), but nothing happens when I do.  It's not seeing the device anywhere.  I've tried re-booting the kindle while plugged in, I've installed Calibre and I've tried a couple of other suggestions I've seen mentioned in the forums.  Still nothing.  Any suggestions or anyone else with the same problem?
Thanks for any help!

A: After connecting the kindle to your computer
the last lines of /var/log/syslog
should contain something like this:
[39034.269113] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
[39034.271098] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] 1982464 512-byte logical blocks: (1.01 GB/968 M

Since the Kindle devices behave like ordinary mass storage device.
If nothing is to be found your device is not being detected at all. Does anything change on the kindle itself when you connect it? The screen should change into a  docking /  charging screen.
You might have a broken port on the kindle or perhaps the usb cable.

An Overview of Indian Wells
Indian Wells is a premier residential community and world-class sports destination located in the Coachella Valley, between Palm Desert and La Quinta along the Highway 111 corridor. Indian Well`s rich history began in the early 1800`s as a pivotal watering point and stagecoach stop for prospectors seeking their fortune in gold from the Colorado River. Caleb Cook was among the first settlers to the area that would later become the City of Indian Wells. Arriving around 1910, Cook and other early settlers are credited with pioneering the establishment of the Coachella Valley`s date industry.
The golden era for Indian Wells came in the 1950`s, when residents, led by E.M. Peterson, began augmenting the city`s development from a flourishing agricultural center into an affluent residential and resort community. The late 1950`s saw the construction of the Eldorado Country Club as well as the Indian Wells Country Club and Golf Resort. Desi Arnaz was one of the founders of the Indian Wells Country Club, and he and his wife, Lucille Ball, would go on to open the Indian Wells Resort Hotel as well.

The Other Art Fair x The Hoxton, Williamsburg
June 29, 2022Posted by Charlotte Grussing
The Other Art Fair Brooklyn presents Theresa Gooby's work at the Hoxton Williamsburg to celebrate the great outdoors this summer.
Theresa recently showed her work at the June New York fair at the Knockdown Center. Her work explores relationships with nostalgia, specifically how it is a fiction that we create. Theresa adapts images of women from the past to re-write the narrative. We asked Theresa some questions about where she draws inspiration for her work:
The Hoxton's theme for this installation is the outdoors. What reference points from the natural world influence you most? Is there somewhere you go specifically for influence outdoors?
I love summer! After living a big chunk of my life in San Francisco, I never really experienced a full-on hot summer until I moved to New York. I want to spend my summer days at a beach, a pool or a lake. I feel fortunate that I've been able to do a lot of that. Every summer I go to Maine with my family where we swim in ponds, jump off of docks, and go canoeing. It's a lot of fun, I have many great memories of beautiful summer days.
Do you draw inspiration for the women in your work from people in your life or elsewhere?
I think about all the women in generations before me who lived their lives with a completely different set of rules than we have now. Look pretty, dress nicely, be pleasant, get married and depend on your husband to provide your house, your car, your money. Careers were limited and women often got fired for getting married. I start with that as a foundation and build images of women who are empowered in some way to be themselves and live the lives they want. I like to draw that line between the conventions of the past and how far we've come. Women are constantly having to fight to maintain their rights to exist as equals in the world, just as we have for decades.
There is such a variety of fabrics and styles in your designs, how do you feel fashion plays a role in your work and in your life? And do you feel your work responding to some of the issues around fast fashion and sustainability?
Fashion trends come in cycles so what was cute in one decade will come back around eventually. I always have one eye on the past looking for patterns and styles that are decidedly out of style but may be on the verge of making a comeback. There are some items that take me right back into a specific moment in time, like Roller Girl. Those striped short-shorts and knee socks, that was a look that was everywhere in the California 80s, when I was a kid. It's not an intentional comment on fast fashion, but before the existence of fast fashion, there were fewer choices so you had a lot of people wearing the same trends, which is how a pair of shorts becomes a defining look.
When I was in high school there was a fabulous thrift shop that I would go to. This was before thrifting was cool (that makes me sound really old, I know) At the time no one would touch a thrift store but me and my weirdo punk rock friends. Wealthy older women would donate their gorgeous Ladies Who Lunch-style outfits from the 60s to this place. I would pick up beaded cardigans and silk shift dresses which I would wear with high top Converse sneakers or Doc Martens. I love digging through piles of old stuff that no one else wants.
After showcasing your work at The Other Art Fair LA and New York this past year, can you recount a memorable interaction you had during this experience?
Those four days of an art fair can be such a blur! I have had so many interesting conversations about subjects ranging from Patty Hearst to gender roles to living in Beacon NY. People who come into my booth are often drawn to one particular element in my work. I met a woman who told me that she and her partner were avid bird watchers. I have a series of works on paper that combine birds in fabulous 1970s fashions and we talked for a while about the traits animals and humans share, in the best of ways.
Can you tell us about any upcoming projects or exciting endeavors you are working on?
I'm really excited about how I've been able to use my art to help raise money for causes I care about. Ever since we learned that Roe v Wade was about to be overturned, I've been selling these small works called Gunderpants from my website. For every work sold, I make a donation to www.wrrap.org, an organization that financially assists women to have access to contraceptives and abortions. Since last Friday, June 24 when the Supreme Court came out with their ruling, there's been an uptick. I don't make any money off the sale, all the proceeds get donated. It really is wonderful to be able to contribute to an organization that does this work.
Make your way on over to the Hoxton, Williamsburg to see Theresa's work on display from July 1st.

Q: Creating file loop How can I ask the user for a file name and if it already exists, ask the user if they want to overwrite it or not, and obey their request. If the file does not exist, a new file (with the selected name) should be created.
From some research on both the Python website and Stack Overflow, I've come up with this code
try:
    with open(input("Please enter a suitable file name")) as file:
        print("This filename already exists")

except IOError:
    my_file = open("output.txt", "r+")

But this will not run in Python, and doesn't do everything I want it to do.

A: You can use os.path.exists to check if a file already exists are not.
if os.path.exists(file path):
    q = input("Do you want to overwrite the existing file? ")
    if q == (your accepted answer):
       #stuff
else:
    #stuff

You could do this with a try / except if you want to abide by the whole "easier to ask for forgiveness" motto, but I think this is cleaner.

A: Alternative soltution would be (however the user would need to provide a full path):
import os

def func():
    if os.path.exists(input("Enter name: ")):
        if input("File already exists. Overwrite it? (y/n) ")[0] == 'y':
            my_file = open("filename.txt", 'w+')
        else:
            func()

    else:
    my_file = open("filename.txt", 'w+')

Don't forget to close the file object when it's not needed anymore with my_file.close().

Computer hackers around the world are targeting small-sized health care providers in the United States to gain access to ePHI. American patients' ePHI records are valuable assets in the dark Internet.
Due to the proliferation of attacks and ePHI breaches in recent years, large enterprises have battened down the hatches to protect their data assets from unauthorized access. Subsequently, hackers have moved down the food chain to target smaller-sized providers who have not adequately shored up their defenses. Many providers have already been breached and don't know it.
Most small-sized providers do not have the expertise or IT security knowledge to ensure they have secured their data borders. Reliance on outside vendors with incomplete solutions can leave gaps in security coverage. Those gaps put your company at risk of exposure to unauthorized access of ePHI in your environment.
During this webinar, attendees will learn why health care providers are prime targets for hackers and how you can protect your network from this costly threat.

Matt Curtis
Matt Curtis on How to Identify City Government Best Practices
In Chapter 8 of 20 in his 2014 Capture Your Flag interview, Matt Curtis answers "How Are You Deepening Your Understanding of How City Government Works?" By working in city government and working with city government in his job at HomeAway, Curtis travels the world and finds ways for local governments to identify and implement best practices from other cities. He finds there is nearly always a case study of a city developing a program or implementing a solution that eliminates for any local government to "reinvent the wheel" on a project, on areas such as economic development and city infrastructure.
Matt Curtis is the director of government relations at HomeAway Inc. Previously he was deputy to Austin mayors Lee Leffingwell and Will Wynn.

Director at Teatro alla Scala in Milan (President of the Jury)
"I am happy to chair the jury of this wonderful and perfectly organized competition, which offers a great opportunity to very capable singers. All editions of the Portofino International Opera Competition have been a great success, and in July we will again have the opportunity to help young singers make their way in the world of music.

Peter de Caluwe
General Director at La Monnaie in Brussels
"This is one of the few competitions I know of where everything is in harmony. What is special is the connection that is created between the contestants and the jury. Here the same connection is established that is created in the theater during a show between stage and audience. The final of the competition seemed much more than a concert. Many singers will be busy very soon. I already have my list of people to involve in the future. "

Clashes between separatists, army kill at least 10 in Cameroon Featured
Separatists in Cameroon countered the death toll figures given by the government, following heavy fighting between the army and rebels on Wednesday.
The conflict between Anglophone separatists who want to create an independent state called Ambazonia and government forces has killed hundreds since last year and emerged as Biya's greatest security problem in nearly four decades in power.
Threats by the separatists disrupted voting in Cameroon's two Anglophone regions during the Oct. 7 election, keeping turnout to 5 percent in the Northwest and 16 percent in the Southwest.
For the past two months, the regime has attacked our camps. We lost seven and a couple of others were wounded.
Gov't, separatists differ on death toll
Cameroon government spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary told Reuters the army killed about 30 separatists in fighting early on Tuesday morning near the northwestern town of Ndu and freed 16 hostages held by the rebels.
One government soldier was killed in the fighting, he added.
Cho Ayaba, head of the Ambazonian Defense Force, one of the main Anglophone secessionist groups, disputed Tchiroma's death toll. He said seven rebel fighters were killed when the army sacked one of their camps, and three army soldiers also died.
"For the past two months, the regime has attacked our camps," Ayaba said. "We lost seven and a couple of others were wounded."
Cameroon's linguistic divide dates back to the end of World War One, when the League of Nations divided the former German colony of Kamerun between the allied French and British victors.
Separatist militia launched an insurrection last year against the predominantly Francophone central government after authorities violently repressed peaceful protests against perceived marginalisation of English speakers.
The army has burned villages and killed unarmed civilians, residents have told Reuters, forcing thousands to flee to French-speaking regions or neighbouring Nigeria.
Biya won the election with 71 percent of the vote, extending his 36-year-rule, the second-longest of any African leader.

Q: Flask-SQLAlchemy InvalidRequestError: Object is already attached to session I'm creating a forum project using Flask, and managing all the users, threads, posts, etc. using Flask-SQLAlchemy. However, I've found that when I attempt to do x (e.g. edit a post), I get an InvalidRequestError if I attempt to do anything else (e.g. delete the post).
For editing a post,
def post_edit(id, t_id, p_id):
  post = Post.query.filter_by(id=p_id).first()
  if post.author.username == g.user.username:
    form = PostForm(body=post.body)
    if form.validate_on_submit():
      post.body = form.body.data
      db.session.commit()
      return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))
    return render_template('post_edit.html', form=form, title='Edit')
  else:
    flash('Access denied.')
    return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))

and deleting a post,
@app.route('/forum=<id>/thr=<t_id>/p=<p_id>/delete', methods=['GET','POST'])
def post_delete(id, t_id, p_id):
  post = Post.query.filter_by(id=p_id).first()
  if post.author.username == g.user.username:
    db.session.delete(post)
    db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))
  else:
    flash('Access denied.')
    return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))

and posting a post
@app.route('/forum/id=<id>/thr=<t_id>', methods=['GET','POST'])
def thread(id, t_id):
  forum = Forum.query.filter_by(id=id).first()
  thread = Thread.query.filter_by(id=t_id).first()
  posts = Post.query.filter_by(thread=thread).all()
  form = PostForm()
  if form.validate_on_submit():
    post = Post(body=form.body.data,
                timestamp=datetime.utcnow(),
                thread=thread,
                author=g.user)
    db.session.add(post)
    db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))
  return render_template('thread.html', forum=forum, thread=thread, posts=posts, form=form, title=thread.title)

Unfortunately, the only surefire way to make this problem resolve itself is to reset the script that actually runs the app, run.py
#!bin/python

from app import app
app.run(debug=True,host='0.0.0.0')

A: Are you using WooshAlchemy because it might be part of your problem. Described here
He describes the "fix" that requires modification of WooshAlchemy extension.
Usually though it could mean you called a Post model object and then attached it using "session.add" and then tried to "session.delete" or did another "session.add" on the same object.
Also your request routing is a bit strange for flask I've never seen the "thr=<t_id>" type of notation with Flask before. Has that been working well for you?
http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#variable-rules

A: I think your edit post is not done correctly. Use the populate_obj function.
@app.route('/forum=<id>/thr=<t_id>/p=<p_id>/edit', methods=['GET','POST'])
def post_edit(id, t_id, p_id):
    post = Post.query.filter_by(id=p_id).first()
    if post.author.username == g.user.username:
        form = PostForm(obj=post)
        if form.validate_on_submit():
            form.populate_obj(post)
            db.session.commit()
            return redirect(url_for('thread', id=id, t_id=t_id))
        return render_template('post_edit.html', form=form, title='Edit')
   else:

Preiskava je trajala 3 dni, zato se je Baley težko poslovil od Daneela. Spoznal je tudi, da se bo človeštvo moralo preseliti v vesolje.

Dela Isaaca Asimova


This sofa bed was designed by Adrian Pearsall in 1961 and produced by Craft Associates, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA. It was carefully restored and re-upholstered in gray fabric with Top Care stain protection and features a reversible sleeping mattress (length 190cm) and a teak structure.
American designer Adrian Pearsall (1925-2011) was born in Trumansburg, New York, in 1925. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the age of seventeen. Subsequently, he studied architectural engineering at the University of Illinois, graduating in 1950. After only two years working in architecture, he decided to change his focus to furniture design. In 1952, he and his brother Richard founded Craft Associates, Inc. in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. In the beginning, the company primarily produced designs in wrought iron, but it soon came to specialize in wood furniture, especially walnut. Pearsall's use of walnut in the structures of coffee tables and sofas became his signature look.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Craft Associates, Inc. became one of the US's most prominent furniture companies. At the time, Pearsall's designs were seen to be daring, as he was fond of creating dramatically high-backed armchairs, as well as long, gondola-shaped sofas; all of which featured sculptural wood components. His vibrant upholstery choices also stood out at the time and were heavily influenced by women's fashion.
Many of his Pearsall's designs are un-named, due to both the prolific nature of his work and the fact he often created custom designs in his free time. Currently, his family is creating a catalogue of his designs for prospective collectors and furniture enthusiasts.
Pearsall work is often overshadowed by his more successful, Atomic-Age contemporaries, such as Vladimir Kagan (1927-2016) and Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988). In fact, it's frequently described as "in the style of Kagan" and has been purposefully mislabeled by auctioneers and sellers in order to fetch higher values. Today, however, many collectors are finally giving due credit to Olsen's extremely well crafted designs.
Sometime between 1968 and 1969, Craft Associates, Inc. was sold to the Lane Furniture Company. In the years following, Lane produced a series of Brutalist-style coffee tables, dining tables, and chairs that have been misattributed to well-known American designer Paul Evans (1931-1987). Lane eventually closed Craft Associates in the late 1970s, due to their unsuccessful aesthetic shift. In the 1970s, Pearsall, along with business partner John Graham, founded a new company, Comfort Designs.
In 2008, Pearsall was nominated for the American Furniture Hall of Fame. He passed away in 2011.

A Lucy Ball, age 40, shows in the household, likely a relative to David. Several workers reside in the home, probably employees of David. She shows as Julia B. Ball in the 1860 census at age 24, a teacher of music, in the household of David and Fanny Ball, who are now reported as age 59 and 54, respectively. Jane E. Ball. 21, is also in the household.
In the 1870 census for Winchester, she is listed as Julia A. Ball, age 34, a music teacher, with Jennie E. Ball, 31, keeping house.

Mr. Edward Carrington Thayer was born in Uxbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts May 10,1828 to Joseph and Chloe Taft Thayer who had been married in Uxbridge Sept 3, 1818 (Uxbridge Vital Records to the year 1850). Edward was one of at least 6 children (IGI). Joseph was a well-to-do farmer and attorney.
Edward shows in the 1850 and 1860 Uxbridge censuses in his parent's household and lived in Uxbridge at least as late as the 1870 census. In the 1870 census Joseph shows a net worth of $100,000 and Edward as a farmer in his father's household. After the 1870 census Edward apparently moved to Keene, N.H.
Mr Thayer served on the city council of Keene from Ward 5 in 1876 and 1877 and as Ward 5 Alderman in 1878 (Anon., 1886) In 1885 Edward Thayer was treasurer of The Ashuelot Manufacturing Co., incorporated 1878, which manufactured Union and Moscow beavers.

The family was very generous to the city of Keene and many other places. In 1893, Edward Thayer gave the city of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, a building in his parents' honor to be a new home for the town library, then located in the Town Hall.
The Uxbridge native spent $33,500 on the Thayer Memorial Building: $28,000 for construction, $4,000 for its North Main Street parcel and $1,500 on furnishings from Boston's Paine Furniture Co., whose founders once lived in Uxbridge. (See http://www.uxbridgenow.com/townissues/townhall/Town%20Hall%20holds%20the%20ghosts12_7_2003.htm
Just before he died, Edward Thayer gave the city of Keene the Henry Colony House on West Street in May, 1898 for use as a public library and his widow and niece gave $5000 for the purchase of books. The offer to the city can be found at _http://www.ci.keene.nh.us/library/appendix.html_

About CJD and the Cause
2020 Fundraising Drive
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease, one of several Prion Diseases caused by prion proteins that misfiled in the brain. There is no treatment or cure and the disease is invariably fatal.

Welcome to the 2020 annual fundraising drive in memory of Robert (Bob) Vitanza, who succumbed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in 2008. Throughout the 12-year history of this event, and thanks to the help of many, ROCK4RV has become the #1 "family fundraiser" (as conducted by a family of a deceased loved one) in the 26-year history of the CJD Foundation! You all ROCK!
Please continue to support by making a tax deductible donation. All proceeds will be donated directly to the CJD Foundation Inc (www.cjdfoundation.org), a 501(c)(3) organization and, specifically, for research grants to find a cure for this rare and fatal brain disease.

HRT Self medicating
Neon Moon – Promotes Trans Rights, Fails To Demonstrate
Added by Amy Walker on November 15, 2015.
Saved under Activism
Tags: Feminism, Feminist, Neon Moon, Trans, Transgender
A few weeks ago I produced an article on the feminist lingerie brand Neon Moon, discussing their use of a transgender model in their latest campaign. To prepare for that article I interviewed both the model, and the CEO of Neon Moon Hayat Rachi.
Following that article Neon Moon has acted rudely and cold towards myself and Planet Transgender, where the article was published, and even reprinted much of my work on their own website claiming it to be their own work.
The article did not mention that the interview was conducted by myself, or were conducted for Planet Transgender. The article made the claim that it was a piece of their own making, and that they were the ones who performed the interview.
This was done without the knowledge or consent of either Planet Transgender or myself. We were not approached to ask if Neon Moon could reproduce our work, and we were certainly not asked if they could tell people that it was their work.
The link to the now deleted article, clearly stating 'We ask', rather than citing the original article.
The only main difference between the interview I conducted with Hayat, and the article she had produced, was that they added a question and answer about her appearing in her company's photographs as a model, and removing a question I asked her about how she would react to accusations that Neon Moon were just using a trans model to gain media attention.
I believe that it was this question, and the subsequent reporting of it in my original article that begun Hayat's cold behaviour.
I asked that question of her to give her a chance to counter any criticism of her and her company before it arose. I made it clear to her that I myself was not accusing her of 'taking advantage' of the focus on trans people, but giving her an easy way of showing that she wasn't before the accusations began. We live in an age where even good deeds can be seen as suspect, of having an ulterior motive. I wanted to give Neon Moon the platform to say 'that's not us'.
Hayat refuses to respond to a question, a question I believe to be the source of
her poor behaviour towards myself and Planet Transgender.
The reason I believe this question became a source of contention for Hayat was that her response was 'I'm not comfortable with this question'. She went on to say that 'no one would accuse Neon Moon of this', and asked me why I would ask that question of her. After explaining that I was not trying to cause offence, but on Neon Moon's side her response was 'could you word it? They'd trust you more than me'. She had once again refused to answer the question, and that fact was reported in my article.
With this question removed from the interview I conducted with her and a question of her own put into it's place I guess she felt that it was an original enough work to claim it as her own. The article was posted to Neon Moon's Facebook page and Twitter feed, where I left a comment to say where the article was originally publish and who the actual author was.
At this point I was upset that Hayat had taken my work and was trying to pass it off as her own. I took to Twitter and vented my frustration that someone had taken my work and was claiming it as theirs. I did not, at any point, however, mention Hayat Rachi or Neon Moon in this, giving them the benefit of the doubt of contacting them before going on to name them.
Later that night, when I was then able to try and message Hayat I found that the article they had produced had been removed from their website. I went to contact Hayat to talk about what had happened only to discover that I had been blocked by Hayat on Facebook, and blocked from the Neon Moon Twitter page.
I emailed Hayat to talk to her about why she had felt the need to block me, and messaged her on Facebook through the Neon Moon company page. The email has thus far been unresponded to, and the several messages that I have sent through Facebook have been viewed, but ignored.
Hayat Rachi blocked me from both Facebook and Twitter, ignoring my communications.
I worked with Hayat on three articles, two of which were way before she announced involving a trans model with the company. I believed in Neon Moons message of body positivity, I thought that they had a good and healthy approach and were a company that conducted itself well. I even believed that they wanted to help tackle transphobia and help trans women.
What I find hard to understand is why a company that preached equality, and spreads a message of positivity towards trans people would firstly steal work from a trans person, then block and ignore that person when they try to speak to them about it. I find it hard to understand why Neon Moon go out of the way to share and promote the articles people produce on them, yet have not once shared or mentioned the last article produced by a transgender publication. They are sending one message, and then acting completely opposite to that message.
This is not designed to be an attack piece, instead I'm hoping that the publication of this prompts Hayat to open communications again so that this matter can be resolved. However, I doubt that she will do so. So instead this is designed as a warning, that some companies, and I believe Neon Moon in particular, preach a good message when it comes to trans people, but act completely contrary to that message.
Less than 24 hours after posting this article another trans woman read this and chose to try and ask Neon Moon about this rather than believing it as fact from only hearing one side of the argument, a very well reasoned choice.
This other person was wanting to give Neon Moon the chance to explain what had happened, to give them a chance to apologise, or to even say that their had been a misunderstanding. Instead, Neon Moon deleted this woman's comment and blocked her.
That makes two trans women blocked in a two day period. Questionable action from a company that is pushing for trans equality and sending a pro-trans message.

Olive Garden adds three new under-575-calories dishes this month to their Lighter Italian Fare menu.
Inspired by Italy's Mediterranean coast, the three dishes are Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Piccata, and Tilapia Piccata.
Shrimp Scampi comes in at Shrimp 570 calories and features shrimp sauteed in a garlic sauce and tossed with asparagus, tomatoes, and angel hair pasta.
Coming in at 530 calories, Chicken Piccata includes grilled chicken topped with a lemon garlic butter sauce, sundried tomatoes, and capers. Parmesan-crusted zucchini comes on the side.
Finally, Tilapia Piccata consists of tilapia baked in a lemon garlic butter sauce topped with sundried tomatoes and capers. It also comes served with parmesan-crusted zucchini and is listed at 450 calories.
Of course, the low calories counts might just mean more room for breadsticks as all three meals come with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks.
Other dishes on the Lighter Italian Fare menu include Citrus Chicken Sorrento, Herb-Grilled Salmon, Baked Tilapia with Shrimp, and Garlic Rosemary Chicken.


Sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and onions fresh from the dirt are all cooked to perfection in these lovely zucchini boats. Basically, this meal is what Tumbleweed Farm tastes like in August.
We are blessed with so much amazing produce at the moment. Each meal has turned into a celebration of the harvest and these zucchini boats are bursting with farm fresh flavors at their peak.
This is one of those non recipe recipes. You can really use any grain and flavor combination that you want, the important thing is to use fresh ingredients. All I did was toss a bunch of our lovely vegetables with some cooked wheat berries and farm fresh pesto. I then stuffed the mixture into a few hollowed out zucchini and put everything into a hot oven. The result was a simple summer meal bursting with farm fresh flavors.
If you haven't cooked with wheat berries before I highly recommend it. They have a chewy texture that I absolutely adore. I cooked my wheat berries the evening before I made these zucchini boats since wheat berries take a while to cook (about 45 minutes). If you're strapped for time feel free to substitute with a faster cooking grain.
I hope you all enjoy this summertime meal as much as we do. Savor these fresh flavors while they are still in season. Cheers!
Cook wheat berries according to your specific brands instructions.
Prepare the pesto. Combine all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor or blender and whirl away until smooth. Taste test and adjust seasonings if necessary.
In a large bowl toss the pesto with the cooked wheat berries and remaining vegetables.
With a sharp knife cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon scoop out the flesh leaving 1/4 inch thick shells. Reserve flesh for another use.
Scoop an even amount of the wheat berry mixture into each zucchini boat. Drizzle with a little olive oil and place the "boats" on a prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven until zucchini is tender and tomatoes have soften and slightly blistered- about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and garnish with basil. Enjoy!
Such beautiful photos! Love all of the fresh produce. These zucchini boats look amazing. Such a great use for zucchini, tomatoes, corn and basil. Yum!
I have to say – your farm stand looks beautiful! I run farmers markets in NYC, and we talk a lot about how important a beautiful stand looks, and to have your eye moving around the stand, especially vertically. Love it!
Yum! I have been eating my own version of these all summer long it feels like. I am one of those novice gardeners that over-planted the squash :\ I cant wait to try yours!
Yay, your squash boats are back! I knew we could expect them any day now 🙂 These do look like a celebration of fresh summer flavors – almost like they're stuffed with confetti. Little zucchini pinatas! I'm loving them.
I love wheat berries! Every time I make something with them I think, I should really cook these more often. The texture is lovely and I'm wishing I had some in one of these zucchini boats right now. I can just smell how fresh all of that produce is right through the screen!
Great pictures. All my farmers on this side of the country say this is be best harvest they can remember. Incredible yields and quality, too. Hope it is the same for you. I smile each time I see your pics on the Hutchins bulletin board.
You two look great and this is my kind of food. Thanks for the idea.
Can't get much better than this for a casual August dinner! I love the chewiness of wheat berries too!
I am totally loving the idea of a zucchini "boat". They look delicious, I definitely need to try out the recipe, thanks for sharing it!
Oh gosh, I saw this on FoodGawker and was wishing you were near. This looks like such a delicious recipe and I was thinking how sad it was I was going to have to go to a different farm and get these veggies, when I really want to support you and thank you for the idea. I especially loved "fresh from the dirt". Then I saw the mountain and I knew you were in Oregon! I can't wait to find you!
Beautiful recipe! I love the summer harvest concept, and the pictures are wonderful!
These stuffed boats look amazing. I wish we lived closer to Tumbleweed, because your stand is adorable.
Your basil is out of control! I wish mine grew like that – I always seem to kill it :/ Just discovered wheat berries – these look delicious.
Your farm looks so beautiful and so does this recipe! I'm going to have to try making it!

Durham Regional Council appoints new Regional Chair
The Regional Municipality of Durham would like to advise residents that Gerri Lynn O'Connor has been appointed to the position of Regional Chair. O'Connor will be officially sworn in shortly, making her the fifth Regional Chair, and the first female to hold this role.
O'Connor has 34 years of municipal experience, including 29 years as Mayor of the Township of Uxbridge. She is a long-time resident of Durham Region, having moved to Uxbridge, at the age of eight, from her hometown of North Bay. After earning a diploma from Shaw College, she held positions as assistant to a buyer for a major corporation and at a recording studio. Her interest in politics, however, was spearheaded while working as a reporter for a local newspaper; covering the major decisions of Uxbridge Council.
Hoping to make a change, O'Connor was elected, as a local councillor, in 1980; a Regional Councillor in 1982; and moved into the role of Mayor in 1985. Although she took a break in 2006, to focus on family, O'Connor returned to serve as Mayor in 2010.
Throughout her time on Durham Regional Council, O'Connor has served as the Chair of the Planning & Economic Development Committee for 17 years. She was also Chair of the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for eight years.
Under her leadership, Uxbridge has had significant improvements, including infrastructure (roads, culvert and sanitary sewer projects), enhanced community facilities (a new fire hall, outdoor recreational spaces, and more), a designation as the Trail Capital of Canada (due to a network of trails that link to the Trans-Canada Trail and the Oak Ridges Trail), additional economic development opportunities, strong financial reserves, and various other initiatives.
O'Connor will hold this position until November 30, 2018 (the current term of council).
The Office of the Regional Chair was declared vacant today by Regional Council, after the passing of long-term Regional Chair Roger Anderson. Regional Councillors voted to move forward with the appointment of a current member; electing O'Connor to the role. It was believed that, with less than a year remaining in the current term of council, a current Regional Councillor would have the experience and knowledge necessary to step into the role.
In Ontario, the Municipal Act sets out the responsibilities of the Regional Chair. The Regional Chair is both the head of council and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Region. This position has a very important role to play—acting as the head of Durham Regional Council and Chief Executive Officer of the municipality; presiding over all meetings of Regional Council; being a member of all standing committees; promoting and advancing the Regional position on matters; and representing Durham Region on various boards, committees and organizations; and other significant duties.

OCC Puts ORPP Back In The Spotlight With An Open Letter To The Premier


Dawsongroup, the leading specialist asset rental business operating in several related markets within the European logistics sector, invests only in high quality premium products which has proved a key strategy in the success of all of its rental businesses. Established in 1935 originally as a general haulage business, the Group has evolved as an asset rental specialist and the Dawsonrentals brand has developed and diversified through successful acquisitions and organic growth since its inception. The group's customer base is extremely varied stretching across a broad spectrum of sectors, sizes and operational types, thus enabling experience to be gained in a wide range of industries and markets.
As one of the UK's largest independent rental companies, Dawsonrentals invests a huge amount of time in its research of suitable vehicles to ensure that its high specification boasts product quality and serviceability goals are met. Offering short term spot hire, operating lease, long term rental or contract hire, it offers flexible rental options provided by approaching 50 branches Europe wide and provides reliable local vehicle rental service as well as national coverage.
Having established itself as the UK's leading sweeper contract hire/rental provider Dawsonrentals Sweeper Division took the decision to enter the closely related refuse collection vehicle market and have invested time and effort in their search for the best vehicles to suit and expand their operation. They already have 20 Heil Farid PN13 refuse and recycling vehicles mounted on 16t DAF chassis which are proving very successful, so it was little wonder that they looked closely at the Heil Farid mini compactor range of RCVs to fulfill this requirement for a smaller option vehicle. After careful appraisal an order was placed for 5 x MiniMatics on 7.5t GVW Mitsubishi Canter chassis. These vehicles were put into service during June and July this year.
Heil Farid MiniMatic 8 cu m body complete with Heil Farid comb bin lift mounted to a 7.5t GVW 4×2 Mitsubishi Canter. Coming from the Heil Farid satellite 'Mini Compactor' range of vehicles, the Heil Farid MiniMatic is a fully sealed, one piece construction body with compaction ratio of 3:1 with guaranteed no leakages, making it ideal for recycling or general waste collection.
It comes with an integral Heil Farid comb bin lift capable of handling bins from 120 litres up to 1,280 litres capacity and food waste caddies or 'slave type' bins. Alternatively, hand loading can be achieved by lowering the rear drop-down rave plate, which can be opened at a moments notice and safely stowed away using the bin lift. This, coupled with the large 8 cu m body capacity, makes the MiniMatic ideally suited for additional bulky waste collection services.

22/06/2018 · No one is letting immigrants get away with murder, dummy. There *IS* a difference, however, between murdering someone (felony) and simply crossing a border (misdemeanor). There *IS* a difference, however, between murdering someone (felony) and simply crossing a …... "How To Get Away With Murder" is shattering barriers for women, minority, and LGBTQ representation in mainstream media. Groups that are typically shoved into ensemble roles (or in many cases, not even on the screen at all) finally have an outlet where they can show their expertise as actors, capable of keeping viewers hooked.
I'll be honest: I would happily watch 45 minutes of Jimmy Smits facing off against Bonnie or Annalise. The other five minutes could just be filled with Annalise doing victory dances.
Meanwhile, a distraught Annalise finds herself in an unimaginable situation as Laurel and her baby struggle to cling to life on "How to Get Away with Murder," THURSDAY, JAN. 18 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network, streaming and on-demand.
12/12/2014 · How To Get Away With Murder is taking the US television scene by storm in the new season. However, its fresh take on legal drama is not what's drawing unique attention.


GOP lawmakers now have the power to decide what kinds of ID will be acceptable for voting.
Photo ID will now be required at the polls in North Carolina after voters approved an amendment to their state constitution on Tuesday.
The constitutional amendment says only that a photo ID is required when someone votes in person, but now the state legislature, where Republicans have a supermajority, will get to decide what kinds of ID are allowed and what exceptions to make for people who don't have acceptable ID. Those details are crucial and could make it more difficult for minority groups, the poor and young people ― who are more likely to lack government ID ― to vote in the state.
Enshrining a photo ID requirement in the state constitution makes it more difficult to challenge the requirement in state court. Allison Riggs, a civil rights lawyer at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, told HuffPost earlier this year that putting a voter ID requirement in the state constitution ensured no future legislature where Republicans didn't have a majority would be able to just repeal it.
Supporters say voter ID is necessary to combat voter fraud, and North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R) said in June it was needed to "secure the integrity of our elections system." But a state audit of the 2016 election found just two cases of voter impersonation that were referred to prosecutors. About 4.8 million people voted in the 2016 election in the state. Nationally, several studies and investigations have shown that voter fraud is not a widespread problem.
Nationally, 34 states have some form of voter ID requirement, but the details vary from state to state.

Amazon / Amazon Expands Free Music Access With Ads For Some
Amazon Expands Free Music Access With Ads For Some
By Daniel Golightly
Customers in the UK, Germany, and the US can now get free access to Amazon Music via the Amazon Music app on iOS, Android, FireTV, and the service's web interface. That's according to an announcement made by Amazon today highlighting the company's latest service extension. That not only won't require any payment via a subscription or credit card. Users won't need to have an Amazon Prime membership or Amazon Music Unlimited account.
Amazon is instead supporting its service via advertisements. In fact, the company says the offering will be similar to that already enjoyed by owners of its Echo-branded devices. Summarily, that works like any number of available music streaming services, such as Pandora. Users can use Amazon Music to access "thousands of stations."
The service builds those stations around users' favorite songs, artists, 'era', or genre. It also hosts stations based on "top global playlists" and holiday-related themes.
Does this work as a free preview of paid Amazon Music Services?
The decision by Amazon to provide free access to its Music-branded service for users appears to be part of a bid to gain a wider audience for the service. This announcement follows another made by the company, offering four months of its service for just $0.99.
Specifically, the company made that offer in conjunction with Amazon Music Unlimited. The service offers users the ability to stream more than 50 million songs via their Alexa-branded devices, as well as on Android and iOS. Music stations described in the latest announcement are included in that and the service also works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The assortment of music, of course, includes all the newest releases as well as classics.
That's a fairly substantial deal, even by comparison to what's available to Amazon Prime members. Amazon Prime members have access to over 2 million songs, ad-free.
Comparatively, Amazon Prime members who want access to Amazon Music Unlimited are required to doll out $7.99 per month for a monthly subscription. As an alternative, the service costs $79 year for an annual subscription. Customers who aren't Prime members pay $9.99 per month. So it goes without saying that a deal for four months at $0.99 is a generous one.
For this announcement, Amazon also reiterated its offer, implying the company is looking to the combination of offers as a way to expand its subscribership. In effect, the offers work as budget or free trials of the services. In the latter case, the customers are getting access to in excess of 48 million more tunes.
Is this permanent?
The primary difference between that previous budget-friendly offering and the new one appears to be that the new deal is permanent. The company hasn't listed or even suggested at a timeline during which users will be able to listen with ad-support. There's no telling when the $0.99 deal will end but that is reportedly a limited-time offer.
Amazon's primary competitors in the space are big hitters such as iTunes, Google Play Music, YouTube Music, and similar services. Offering users a chance to try out the service and make comparisons could serve as a viable way to gain market share.
The same holds true of any free offering supported by ads, as that's already relatively common among the competition. Especially at a time when Amazon's devices and device bundles are undergoing tremendous seasonal sales across numerous retailers.

Mark Wahlberg was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts as the youngest of nine children. Although Wahlberg attended Copley Square High School, he dropped out. He did receive his GED in June of 2013.
Wahlberg was well-known to the local police as he seemed to be in trouble frequently. He committed a few minor felonies and attempted to straighten out his life by working at various odd jobs. Wahlberg and his brother Donnie performed together for a short time doing rap music with Donnie's band New Kids on the Block. Wahlberg decided to go it on his own and he created Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. He gained a fair amount of notoriety with his on-stage antics, including dropping his pants.
Wahlberg also worked as a model for a short time including doing underwear ads for Calvin Klein where he sometimes worked alongside famous model Kate Moss. He was featured on Vanity Fair's annual Hall of Fame issue. He also made a workout video.
However, Wahlberg's underwear and rap music career seem to have faded into the background as he is most recognized now for his film career. Movies such as Boogie Nights, The Perfect Storm, The Italian Job and The Departed made Wahlberg a household name. In 2006 Wahlberg earned an academy Award as well as Golden Globe nominations for his performance in The Departed.
An interesting note to Wahlberg's life; he was scheduled to fly on American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11, 2001. A last minute change of plans led him to cancel that flight. Wahlberg is a committed Roman Catholic and has said that he believes he was spared from that flight for a higher purpose.
Wahlberg is actively involved in numerous charities and loves to play cricket in his spare time. In fact, Wahlberg's interest led him to buy an equity interest of the Barbados Tridents cricket franchise in July of 2013. Wahlberg has a current net worth of $200 million and has stated that he is possibly going to do a sequel to his Dignam character from The Departed.


Orientational Day for International students.
On 8th October 2018 (Monday) at 15:00 we organise an Orientation day for International Students. They receive all kind of useful informations which they need during their stay in Hungary.


Hi, it's Rick Hamlin. This is psalm 37: "Fret not," fret not, it urges us right from the beginning, fret not. Well, don't we all spend a lot of time fretting. You worry about money, health, food, family, there's so much, so much that piles into my head and all of our heads, we're constantly fretting. This is a long psalm and there's a lot going on but there is that real classic line there in the middle: blessd are the meek, they shall inherit the earth, they shall inherit the earth. Now, the meek are not those people who kind of scowl or they're humble, and they're not quite sure of themselves, the meek are those who trust God. Blessd are the meek, so the meek inherit the earth by fretting not. I love this thought, fret not, just tell yourself, freet not. Read the psalm and remind yourself: fret not.
