We demonstrate a new Fourier pulse shaping apparatus capable of achieving simultaneous high resolution and broad bandwidth operation by dispersing frequency components in a two dimensional geometry through simultaneous use of a high resolution and a broad bandwidth spectral disperser. We show experimental results which demonstrate significant improvements in achievable waveform complexity (number of controllable temporal/spectral features). We also demonstrate experiments of line-by-line pulse shaping with optical frequency combs. In this regime our configuration would allow significant enhancement of the number of controllable spectral lines which may further enhance recently demonstrated massively parallel approaches to spectroscopic sensing using frequency combs.

Fig. 1. The experimental setup - after undergoing dispersion by the VIPA (free spectral range (FSR) of 200GHz) and the grating (940lines/mm) in perpendicular directions, and spatial Fourier transforms by the respective lenses, the light forms a 2D pattern on the Fourier plane where a patterned mask shapes the input spectrum. An adjustable fraction of the light is diverted to an imaging camera for aligning and monitoring the mask.
Fig. 2. (a) Image of the Fourier plane without a mask, (b), with a mask.
Fig. 3. (a), the full spectrum of the shaped pulse. (b), magnified portion of the spectrum circled in red in Fig. 3(a). The smallest features are 5GHz, and over a bandwidth of 8THz (> 64nm), there are more than 1600 controllable spectral features. (c), time domain cross correlation trace. An initially bandwidth limited pulse of 150fs is shaped over a time window exceeding 200ps.
Fig. 4. (a), images of the Fourier plane for the two halves of the mask; the corresponding spectra are shown in (b). The smallest spectral feature is 10GHz and the total number of features in either spectra is around 450. To better represent the features determined by the mask, both spectra are split into three sections, each consisting a few FSRs of the VIPA. Each section is then plotted in segments of one FSR (200 GHz) lined vertically as shown in (c). The clear correspondence between the applied mask and the spectrum demonstrates enhanced spectral control made possible by the ability to control fine spectral features over a large bandwidth.
Fig. 5. (a) a portion of the input frequency comb and the same section after application of a pulse rate quadrupling mask. The line-to-line spectral spacing of the input is 10GHz, which is the temporal repetition rate of the source. After application of the mask, the line-to-line spacing is manipulated to be 40GHz. (b), the image of the Fourier plane with the quadrupling mask and the corresponding time domain cross correlation trace. The pulse-to-pulse separation is 25ps corresponding to the 40GHz repetition rate. (c), a pulse rate doubling experiment. The image of the Fourier plane shows spot-to-spot separation equal to half of that shown in (b), corresponding to a frequency comb of 20GHz separation. In the time domain the pulse-to-pulse separation is 50ps as expected. In D, a mask is utilized which is a slight modification of the pulse rate doubling mask. This is indicated by the spot-to-spot separation being similar to C, but the pattern is staggered by inserted irregularities every 20 spectral lines. In the time domain this results in a significant change, where a double pulse structure is observed near zero delay instead of a single pulse as in the pulse rate doubling case (c). Excellent agreement between the simulated (red) and the experimental (blue) cross correlation traces is observed.
Fig. 6. An experimental cross correlation trace (solid blue) and the simulated (dashed red) trace are superimposed; excellent agreement between the two traces is observed. Both satellite pulses have been broadened, indicating a quadratic spectral phase with the acquired tail indicating a cubic spectral phase. The image on the inset shows the Fourier plane with the mask in place.


The room gets quiet as the curtain parts, the mechanical clicking turns into a hum, the orchestra begins, and a giant screen crackles to life with light and movement. The 1920s were truly cinematic in every sense of the word.
The decade between the wars demonstrated a zest for life which could be seen everywhere from the crowds who came to socialize at the Speakeasies with the sounds of Jazz, and the flappers with their bobbed hair and short hemlines who danced the night away. There was an unprecedented growth in wealth, revolutions in music, art, fashion, literature, film, alongside giant leaps in modern technology that were matched with an equally rapid change in social conventions.
I was swept away with these early ideas of progress, movement, simultaneity and overlapping images of modern life. The swirling energy, optimistic spirit, and new found leisure time certainly made it look ideal. I created this series of photographs to provide a glimpse into this dynamic time using multiple exposures from silent films of the period that reflect the vitality with overlays of typography from the movie palaces where these films were screened. The allure of silent films for me is how the medium does not give everything away. As the viewer, there is an element of interpreting the emotion, the sounds, the action, and the story on your own. Silent films, like books, tend to become more personal and meaningful when you have to invest a little imagination into them. I enjoyed having the lines blurred with multiple images layered over each other, telling various narratives and ideas. I invite you to experience this era of energy and exuberance and rediscover the roaring 1920s.

Q: A custom validation for checkbox_box_tag Ok, I have this in my _form.html.erb

   <%= label_tag "What days of the week do you want to work with us? (maximum of three days)" %>
    What days of the week do you want to work with us? (maximum of three days)

    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Monday" %> Monday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Tuesday" %> Tuesday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Wednesday" %> Wednesday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Thursday" %> Thursday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Friday" %> Friday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Saturday" %> Saturday
    <%= check_box_tag 'days_of_week[]', "Sunday" %> Sunday

How do I write a custom validation for it to ensure that a person does check three or less?
Here's a little background that complicates it a bit .. look at the code below, see @new_partnership? it's not part of that ... it does show up in parameters, but not in :new_partnership parameters.
just wanted to explain that.
       <%= form_for(@new_partnership) do |f| %>
           <% if @new_partnership.errors.any? %>

<%= pluralize(@new_partnership.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this new_partnership from being saved:

            <% @new_partnership.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>

<%= msg %>

              <% end %>

        <% end %>

Please let me know if there is additional info should I have  to give.
EDIT 1
Also, before anyone suggests jQuery, etc ... is there a way to validate this just in ROR without having to resort to it?
You know, something like this:
        validates :days_of_week, :presence => { :message => "Must check three or less" }
two problems from the statement above, one is that ROR says that days_of_week is undefined method (obviously since it's a custom tag) and secondly, it doesn't actually check to see if 3 or less checkboxes were checked.

A: You can always construct free-form validators with validates_each:
validates_each :days_of_week do |record, attr, value|
  record.errors.add attr, ' must have 3 or fewer checked.' if value.length > 3;
end

Note that for this to work your model must be able to use an array-valued attribute, which probably requires specialized accessors.
What you wrote in the "background" part of your question doesn't signify anything as far as I can see.

...wind warnings this morning. I get weather alerts from all over the world and today I had high wind warnings for Utah, Iowa, Oklahoma and, of course, Colorado. I looked out around 3:30 am when I got up and it looked like a normal morning. Dark. I was writing away at the computer at around 7 am and I think I felt the house move in the high winds. Looked out and sure enough we had horizontal snow. Blowing sideways. Loveland Basin Ski Area opened yesterday and Arapaho Basin opened this morning. One of our many local radio stations is broadcasting live from A Basin and they described the snow conditions as heavy, new powder. Normally they would say fifteen inches of man-made. Nice. We have had a very balmy fall with temperatures in the 70s until a couple of days ago. I was doing my 12 mile daily run in very light clothing and would work up a good sweat every day. Not today. I have said this before but I am convinced that the reason people live here are two fold. First for the views and second for the crappy weather. Without crappy weather it can get pretty boring around here.

How to Draw Super Mario
Easy, step by step Super Mario drawing tutorial
Mario first appeared in the arcade version of Donkey Kong in 1981. Originally called "Mr. Video", and later "Jumpman", Mario has since appeared in over two hundred different video games.
Considered the most successful video game franchise of all time, Mario is the premier mascot of the Nintendo corporation. The character has also featured in books, television series, films, and merchandise.
Mario is said to be of Italian descent, having been born on Yoshi's Island. When he's not rescuing Princess Peach from evil villains, he pursues a career as a plumber. Mario becomes "super" when he collects power ups that grant him various powers.
Would you like to be able to draw Super Mario? If you have a pencil and a piece of paper, you can, using the step-by-step tutorial below. This drawing guide is easy to follow. Simply add the blue highlighted lines in each step. Have an eraser handy, so you can erase mistakes and guide lines as needed. You may also wish to use markers, colored pencils, or crayons to shade your finished picture.
If you liked this tutorial, see also the following drawing guides: Pikachu, Charizard, and Batman.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Super Mario
Super Mario drawing - step 1
Begin by drawing a curved line. This will outline Mario's face and jaw.
Next, draw a circle within the curve of the line. This will form Mario's nose.
Draw Mario's ear. To do this, draw a curved line, nearly completing an oval. Within the figure, draw two connected, curved lines. These lines detail the folds of the ear.
Draw Mario's mustache. Extend a short, curved line from each side of the nose. Below this, draw a series of short, connected, curved lines to form a scalloped design. This scalloped line will connect the ends of the mustache.
Draw a curved line to form the top of the head.

Below the chin, draw a large circle. This will form Mario's body.
From the neck to the circle, draw two sets of parallel, curved lines. Connect each set by drawing two short, straight lines, meeting at a point. You have just drawn Mario's suspenders.
Erase the guide lines from the body.
Draw a curved line connecting the suspenders, and a small circle for the button at the end of each suspender.
Super Mario drawing - step 10
Draw Mario's arms and legs. On the left side, draw a curved line extending from the neck to the middle of the side. On the right, draw a similar line. Then, draw two short, connected curved lines to form the elbow. Draw two sets of parallel, curved lines extending downward.
Draw a curved line across the left arm to indicate the curve of the elbow. At the end of each arm, draw a cuff using two curved lines. Draw another curve horizontally across the belly. Then, draw a curved line from the horizontal line to the bottom of the circle. Connect the ends of the leg lines using curved, wavy lines.
Erase the guide lines from the figure.
Draw Mario's hands, using overlapping curved lines to form each finger.

Draw Mario's shoes. Use a long, curved line to outline the shoes, squaring the heel. Detail the soles of the shoes by drawing curved lines parallel to the shoe bottoms.
Draw Mario's hat using two long, wavy lines. The brim of the hat will extend from the ear to the other side of the head. The top of the hat will extend from the ear to the far side of the first line, enclosing the shape.
Draw Mario's other ear by enclosing an oval, using a curved line. Add detail to the ear by drawing a small, curved line. Draw another curved line to enclose the brim of the hat, and several short, curved lines to indicate hair near the first ear.
Draw a curved line from the brim of the hat, and enclose a circular shape above the line. Within the circle, draw the letter "M" for Mario. Draw some more hair at the back of the head using a wavy line, and connect the suspender to the hand using a short, curved line.
Draw a "U" shaped line beneath the mustache to form the mouth. Draw oval shapes for the eyes, and a curved shape above each to indicate eyebrows.
Use curved lines within the mouth to indicate tongue and teeth. Draw an oval within an oval in each eye, shading the smaller.
Color Mario.

Within this quick changing realm of competition and advancement, it has been a proven fact that people barely get enough time to invest at their homes, taking care of on their own. It is obligatory for all of us that people spend the vast majority of the times time in workplace, doing our responsibility. If the workplace does not have in correct equipments and facilities for that workers, the employees start getting severe health issues. Likewise, the decorum and the tools of the offices are supplied enormous significance. These days, almost all the equipments are selected inside a cautious manner so as to ensure the workers comfort. One particular important product in the office may be the ergonomic desk workplace seats. As most of the workplaces have ended up being smart, which means they rely more on device than hard physical work, ergonomic office chairs are especially designed for this kind of workplaces. They are the seats used for the use of the offices getting pc work stations.

The more complex a rug, the harder it is to restore after damage or accumulation of wear-and-tear. Restoring handmade wool and silk rugs from the old ages or the Far East takes a lot of precision and experience. We generally split our restoration efforts into two categories. While we frequently cover multiple points from each when restoring a carpet, grouping them lets us get a better handle on the work that needs to be done.
Functional restoration: These techniques deal with damage to the carpet of the fabric itself past the mere visual aspect. Exposure to insects is what damages a decorative carpet most often, followed by rot and internal mold. Water and smoke can also change the texture of the fabric – we'll do our best to make each material feel as close to what it did on the first day. Remember – there's more to a carpet than just its surface.
Delray Beach Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros offer professional rug restoration services. Our rug restoration experts provide our clients with exquisite rug restoration to bring life back to your rug. With 30 years experience in rug restoration, you can count on Delray Beach Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros to provide you with the best rug restoration services in Delray Beach.
We offer our exclusive white-glove service along with our complimentary pickup and deliver to make your rug restoration fast and easy. Give us a call today at 561-475-1212 today.


Chaffinch provides a free primary education to over 80 children. Costs include provision of consumables such as pencils, pens, and exercise books, as well as the maintenance of classrooms and basic facilities. There are teachers to employ and a store of textbooks that need regular updating.
Education is believed to be the number 1 way to improve the prospects of a child born into poverty. Yet, in Kibera, access to that education is denied to many.
With no government schools in the slum, families must pay to educate their children. School fees, uniforms, books, pencils, examination costs…it all adds up. And it's beyond the reach of many.
Without even a basic primary school education, there is little hope of quality employment, of earning enough to take even the first steps out of a life of extreme poverty. And without access to school, boys are frequently pushed into work at a young age, and girls are at risk of being pressured into early marriage or domestic slavery.
Chaffinch works with Future Stars to provide completely free primary education to some of the most vulnerable children of the slum, providing everything from pencils and exercise books to examination costs and tuition.

The main thing that I want to understand is entanglement from both a quantum field theoretic point and an information theory viewpoint.


Prices rolled along to a 32-month high in the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, increasing from 5.6 percent the month prior. The Index's 10-City Composite rose 5.2 percent, while its 20-City Composite rose 5.9 percent. The 10-City Composite shows an increase from 5 percent the month prior; the 20-City Composite, an increase from 5.7 percent the month prior. Month-over-month, the 10-City Composite rose 0.3 percent and the 20-City Composite rose 0.4 percent.
"Housing and home prices continue to advance," said Blitzer in a statement. "The S&P Corelogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index and the two composite indices accelerated since the national index set a new high four months ago. Other housing indicators are also advancing, but not accelerating the way prices are. As per National Association of REALTORS®, sales of existing homes were up 5.6 percent in the year ended in March. There are still relatively few existing homes listed for sale and the small 3.8-month supply is supporting the recent price increases.
"Housing affordability has declined since 2012 as the pressure of higher prices has been a larger factor than stable to lower mortgage rates," Blitzer said. "Housing's strength and home-building are important contributors to the economic recovery. Housing starts bottomed in March 2009 and, with a few bumps, have advanced over the last eight years. New-home construction is now close to a normal pace of about 1.2 million units annually, of which around 800,000 are single-family homes.
"Most housing rebounds following a recession only last for a year or so," said Blitzer. "The notable exception was the boom that set the stage for the bubble. Housing starts bottomed in 1991, drove through the 2000-2001 recession, and peaked in 2005 after a 14-year run."


Finally, a neck pillow you won't forget at home.
We all need a jacket that goes with everything. The one you can throw over jeans and a tee, slacks and a sweater, a simple dress. You know, that jacket you can pack on just about any trip, without having to fuss over whether it gets wrinkled or worry about it being too heavy and cumbersome to bring. Well, my friends, this simple little puffer jacket from Madewell is the answer to your prayers. Not only is it lightweight, warm and insulated with 100 per cent recycled content (that's 6 water bottles, in case you were wondering), it also folds up into a travel pillow. Yes, that's right. A travel pillow. Instead of lugging one around in your carry-on, you can roll up your jacket with ease, sling it around your neck, and watch your seatmate look over at you with envy.
The jacket comes in four different colours, so you can pick the perfect shade for you. There's military surplus (an army green), sweet dahlia (a soft peachy rose), southern sun (a mustard yellow) and for those of you not into colour, no worries, it also comes in a true black.
At $183, it's not the cheapest of coats, but the good news is that Madewell offers free delivery to Canada for all orders over $175. So no extra shipping costs to worry about. What you do need to worry about, however, is picking out the colour they're going to like best. (And trying not to buy one for yourself.) Happy shopping.
Your stylish mom/sister/aunt/cousin/pal who likes to travel in comfort.
Tis the season to be jolly (and a bit stressed from shopping, list-making, cooking and more shopping). But don't get yourself too worked up, because we're here to help you cross those names off your list one day at a time, one gift at a time.

Books August 2014
Examining the events of 1945
A look at the pivotal year when the world changed dramatically
I have long been an admirer of Ian Buruma's writing. Aside from his considerable journalistic output for such publications as The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The New York Review of Books, he has authored an impressive backlist of books that covers an equally impressive range.
One thinks of The China Lover, Murder in Amsterdam and Taming the Gods in particular.
The books cover subjects that are very different, yet each rings with Buruma's distinctive voice; one that is compassionate and authoritative. Arresting and engrossing, as all of these volumes are, it is hard not to feel that the work under review is the book Buruma was born to write.
Luce Professor of Democracy, Human Rights, and Journalism at Bard College in New York, Buruma was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and a British mother. He studied Chinese literature and Japanese film and his exposure to both the European and Asian cultures informs his writing on every page.
The year 1945 marked the official end of the Second World War. It was a pivotal year that marked the collapse of one world and the beginning of an uncertain new one.
Cities across the world, from Berlin to Tokyo, lay in ruins. The people in those cities—and many more like them—were starving and displaced; whole populations were decimated.
In a series of carefully paced and beautifully written chapters, Buruma explores exactly what the events of 1945 brought about: for example, the creation of the United Nations, the European Union and Japanese pacifism. Here is his take on the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers Directive of 15 December 1945:
"Ordering Emperor Hirohito to announce on the radio that he was a human being like everyone else did not seem like such a bad idea … What the emperor actually said was that his ties with the Japanese people were not 'predicated on the false conception that the emperor is divine'.
"This satisfied the Americans. Most Japanese were hardly surprised by the statement, since they never doubted his humanity. But they saw him as a ruler descended from the Sun Goddess, something he never repudiated. In any case, few Japanese seem to have cared much one way or another".
But this is no dry re-telling of history. Woven through the meticulously researched chapters that embrace the entire theatre of war is a deeply personal story. Buruma's father fell victim to the Nazis during the occupation of the Netherlands, and remarkably survived the ordeal of being in a Berlin labour camp.
In a moving epilogue, Buruma recounts a visit with his father to Berlin in 1989 to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall. He is prompted to ask whether 1945 really was the end of the war, or whether it was actually 1989.
"With the fall of the Soviet Empire, there was hope that the gash running through the spine of Europe might heal at last. More than that: hope that the world would finally come together briefly flickered again in that miraculous year [1989], despite what happened in China in June … Now there was only one Big Power left. There was talk of a new world order, even the end of history".

Jeroen van Inkel, geboren als Jeroen Hendrik Donderwinkel (Amsterdam, 7 juli 1961), is een Nederlands radio-dj bij NPO Radio 2 en schrijver.

Van Inkel geldt, samen met Frits Spits, Lex Harding, Erik de Zwart, Adam Curry, Rob Stenders, Rick van Velthuysen, Ferry Maat, Tom Mulder, Ad Roland, Daniel Dekker en Corne Klijn, als een van de bekendste en invloedrijkste Nederlandse radiodeejays sinds de jaren 80.

Biografie

Illegale zenders (1979-1983)
Van Inkel begon zijn loopbaan bij de illegale piratenzender Radio Nova en ging vervolgens naar de Haagse poppiraat Hofstad Radio en Radio Decibel. Deze Amsterdamse radiopiraat bracht meerdere bekende DJ's voort.

Veronica (1983-1995)
Eind 1983 stapte hij over naar de publieke omroep Veronica, waar hij op de nationale popzender Hilversum 3 (op 1 december 1985 werd dit station omgedoopt in Radio 3) programma's als Oh, wat een nacht, Rinkeldekinkel, (vanaf 6 december 1985) invaller bij De Stemband, Curry en Van Inkel, Stenders en Van Inkel, Staverman en Van Inkel en vanaf 22 mei 1987 tot en met de laatste Volle vrijdag van Veronica op 2 oktober 1992, Ook Goeiemorgen presenteerde.

Vanaf 5 oktober 1992 presenteerde hij tussen 17:00 en 18:00 uur van maandag tot en met zaterdag de radioshow Rinkeldekinkel op het vanaf dan vernieuwde en horizontaal geprogrammeerde Radio 3.

Veronica (1995–2000)
Op 1 september 1995 werd Veronica een commerciële omroep en verliet het publieke omroepbestel. Van Inkel verhuisde mee naar het radiostation HitRadio 1224 (later omgedoopt tot HitRadio Veronica, Veronica FM en Yorin FM), waar hij op werkdagen tussen 6:00 en 9:00 uur het ochtendprogramma Ook Goeiemorgen ging maken. Ook presenteerde hij het televisieprogramma Veronica computer magazine.

Radio 538 (2000–2003)
Vanaf 17 april 2000 presenteerde Van Inkel het middagprogramma van 16:00 tot 19:00 uur op Radio 538. Hij begon gelijktijdig met Edwin Evers (Evers Staat Op), die van Radio 3FM overkwam.

Radio Veronica (2004-2005)
Op 1 september 2003 kwam Radio Veronica na jaren terug in de ether met een 80's- en 90's-hitsformat. Van Inkel wilde graag naar Radio Veronica, maar hij zat nog vast aan een contract met 538. Dit station wilde hem niet laten gaan. Na langdurige onderhandelingen kon hij in januari 2004 de overstap maken. Eerst maakte hij de middagshow en in september 2004 verlegde hij zijn activiteit naar de ochtend.

Qmusic (2005–2014)
Een jaar later stopte Van Inkel alweer bij Veronica en stapte per 1 september 2005 over naar het nieuwe radiostation Qmusic, waar hij de ochtendshow Je dag is goed en Het Foute Uur ging presenteren. In maart 2008 verhuist hij naar de middag van 16:00 tot 18:00 uur. Ruud de Wild nam vervolgens zijn plaats in de ochtend over. Hoewel Van Inkel niet blij was met deze verandering, verlengde hij in september 2008 toch zijn contract bij Qmusic. In mei 2010 kreeg hij er een uur bij en werd de middagshow omgedoopt tot Van Inkel in de Middag. Van 2011 t/m 2013 presenteerde hij als Sint Jeroentje van eind november t/m 5 december de jaarlijkse Sinterklaasactie van QMusic.

Radio Veronica (2014–2017)
Op 30 juni 2014 werd officieel bekendgemaakt dat Van Inkel terugging naar Radio Veronica, waar hij vanaf 1 september 2014 de middagshow Van Inkel in de Middag zou voortzetten. Per 2 februari 2015 verhuisde hij echter weer naar de ochtend. Hier blies hij na 15 jaar (sinds zijn vertrek bij Radio 3) Rinkeldekinkel nieuw leven in tussen 7:00 en 10:00 uur.

Na de overname van Radio Veronica door Talpa Radio werd de programmering weer omgegooid. Van Inkel raakte zijn ochtendshow kwijt en verhuisde in januari 2017 naar het weekeinde van 12:00 tot 16:00 uur. Vanaf begin april 2017 was Van Inkel voor onbepaalde tijd niet meer op Radio Veronica te horen wegens gezondheidsproblemen. Op 26 juli 2017 werd bekendgemaakt dat Van Inkels contract, dat op 1 september 2017 afliep, door Talpa Radio niet meer zou worden verlengd.

NPO Radio 5 (2018-2020)
Van Inkel gaf aan nog steeds de ambitie te hebben om dagelijks een radioprogramma te presenteren op een landelijke zender. Op 1 september 2017 vertelde hij in het programma The Friday Move in gesprek te zijn met de NPO over een plek op een van hun radiozenders. Op 17 november 2017 werd bevestigd dat Van Inkel op 2 januari 2018 bij Omroep MAX aan de slag zou gaan. Hij volgde Henk Mouwe op, die met pensioen ging.

Op 2 januari 2018 begon hij op NPO Radio 5 als presentator van de ochtendshow Je dag is goed, die werd uitgezonden van maandag t/m vrijdag van 7:00 tot 10:00 uur. Op 18 september 2020 nam Van Inkel afscheid bij NPO Radio 5. Opvallend was dat Je dag is goed nog een week langer doorging, maar dan met Astrid de Jong. Vanaf 1 oktober 2020 is Bert Haandrikman te horen met de nieuwe ochtendshow.

NPO Radio 2 (2020-)
Sinds 3 oktober 2020 presenteert Van Inkel elke zaterdag en zondag tussen 7:00 en 10:00 uur de ochtendshow Rinkeldekinkel voor BNNVARA op NPO Radio 2. Op deze datum ging de nieuwe programmering in het weekeinde van start. Verder is hij vanaf 5 oktober 2020 ook in de nacht van zondag op maandag op NPO Radio 2 te horen tussen 0:00 en 3:00 uur met Van Inkel's Choice. Tevens viel hij regelmatig in voor Rob Stenders in Stenders Platenbonanza.

Van Inkel maakte deel uit van het dj-team voor de NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 edities 2020, 2021 en 2022. Hij presenteerde op het tijdslot 0:00-2:00 uur.

Voice over
Van Inkel sprak in de film Cars de stem in van commentator Bob Cutlass en in de film Cars 2 sprak hij de stem in van commentator David Hobbscap. Ook deed Van Inkel in Wreck-It Ralph uit 2012 de stem van Zangief, wat hij ook weer deed in het vervolg uit 2018 Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Prijzen
Op 22 oktober 2010 werd Jeroen van Inkel onderscheiden met de Marconi Oeuvre Award. De prijs kwam hem volgens de vakjury toe omdat hij 'een belangrijk icoon is binnen de Nederlandse radiowereld'.

Boeken
Van Inkel debuteerde op 27 februari 2014 als schrijver met het boek 'Kortsluiting', een thriller over een diskjockey met als hobby misdaadjournalistiek. In 2015 verscheen zijn tweede thriller, 'Verwarring', waarin het personage van de dj met als hobby misdaadjournalistiek terugkeert.

Video Press Release: Rio de Janeiro's Cleanest Sewage Is in the Favela! Vale Encantado Establishes a Biosystem for Sewage Treatment and Solar Panels
Press conference and launch event, on June 4, will be attended by residents and allies who are leading the projects. Click here to register. [View PDF]
June 1, 2022—Is Rio's cleanest sewage in the favela? The answer is yes! In the video above, released today and produced to be used by the press to bring visibility to the Vale Encantado biosystem, you will see how an isolated community in Rio de Janeiro's Alto da Boa Vista region is becoming a reference of sustainability for the entire city.
Watch the Video and Incorporate It Into Your Reporting, Here.
Vale Encantado has just taken a leap as an incubator of sustainable practices with the launch, on June 4, of a biosystem that will treat the entire community's sewage and solar panels at the community cooperative. These two projects, alongside others being developed by the community, relied on the participation, training and work of residents who, for decades, have sought to subsist in environmentally sustainable ways. The launch of the biosystem connecting the entire community to sewerage infrastructure, and the solar panels, represents yet another achievement by the community, which is already considered a model to be followed by other favelas.
The construction of the Vale Encantado ecological sanitation biosystem began in 2015 through a partnership with researchers from Rio's Catholic University (PUC-Rio), who won a public bid from the Research Support Foundation for the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). With this funding, they built a biodigester that had the appropriate size and scale to treat sewage from every house in the community. However, during the first phase, due to lack of resources, only five houses were connected to the system, despite having the ability to treat sewage from the community's 27 structures.
In 2021, Rio's Sustainable Favela Network* (SFN), through its managing organization Catalytic Communities (CatComm), and the Environment in Motion Institute, through German organization Viva Con Agua, and in technical partnership with Taboa Engineering, attracted the resources necessary to connect all the houses in Vale Encantado to the ecological sanitation network.
As of the press conference on June 4, the system will be fully operational, connecting all the homes and treating 100% of the community's sewage. Vale Encantado will become the first favela in Rio de Janeiro with 100% ecologically-treated sewage.
In the video, resident Rozineida Pereira gives her account of these green initiatives. She is part of the Vale Encantado Cooperative's community kitchen, which uses locally grown food. Her vegetarian concoctions are served to visitors to the community.
Like Pereira, other residents shared how the community's green projects impacted their lives. Otávio Barros, president of the Residents' Association, talks about his relationship of love and sense of belonging to the place, as well as telling how the idea of building the biosystem and installing solar energy came about. Barros realized the potential Vale Encantado had in focusing on its vocation as a green community and developing the community based on its assets, generating work and income, as well as contributing to the fight against threats of eviction.
"This biodigester project fit like a glove because we were being threatened with forced evictions. One of the reasons they wanted to take us away from here was that they said we were polluting, dumping sewage out in the open. Here, we don't have basic sanitation. We don't just 'dump our sewage,' we have septic tanks and all that. We don't do it because we want to, it's because we don't have it!" — Rozineida Pereira, resident and member of the Vale Encantado Cooperative community kitchen
According to residents, these green initiatives have multiple impacts. For resident Luciana Cardoso, the biosystem will be very good, reducing the incidence of disease and the number of cockroaches and rats. Her neighbor Magdalena Cordeiro highlights that the project will bring very good things by channeling the community's sewage, which she said has never been done by public authorities. Renan Fernandes, a resident who was involved in the system's construction and in connecting the homes to the biodigester, reflected on the importance of training and empowering residents within the scope of the project, a fact also mentioned by other residents.
"When they started this project, I didn't have much faith in this messing with waste and such. But then it was explained to us, we took classes and courses on the plumbing part, on the bamboo that maintains the bacteria that release the gas. You end up liking it and adapting to all that stuff and you don't want to let it go. It's really great!" – Luiz Carlos, resident and builder of the Vale Encantado ecological sewerage biosystem
Along with residents, the video also interviews Leonardo Adler, the sanitary and environmental engineer who participated in the construction of the biodigester since Barros' idea emerged, in 2011. At the end of the video, Barros and Adler tell a little about the history of the project, its phases and technical details.

Move aimed to flush out black money hoarders, counterfeit notes; govt withdraws Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes from midnight.
New Delhi: In an extraordinary step to tackle the scourge of black money in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will no longer be legal from midnight today.
In his first televised address to the nation, Modi said people holding notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 can deposit the same in their bank and post office accounts from November 10 till December 30. He explained that the currency notes will be just paper with no value.
The government also listed some exceptions to help minimise inconvenience to the common man, like hospitals will continue to accept the big currencies for the next 72 hours. Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will also be valid for transactions related to booking of air tickets, railway bookings, government bus ticket counters till the midnight of November 11 and 12.
Banks will remain closed tomorrow and ATMs will also not function tomorrow and day after, Modi said. He expressed confidence that the staff of banks and post offices will rise to the occasion to introduce the new order within the available time.
Modi's announcement comes just days after some leaders suggested that currency notes of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 denominations should be abolished to curb black money in the country.

Q: Is it possible to pull all opportunities related to single contact via contact roles in a Visualforce email template? We are trying to compile a broker report detailing commissions on a per broker basis (one email per broker). A single broker may be linked to multiple opportunities via the opportunity's contact roles i.e. the broker may appear on multiple opportunity pages as "Referral Source" under the opportunity's contact roles.
We'd like to set up an email template that displays a list of all the opportunities that the contact is listed as "Referral Source" in the contact roles.
I think that we can query for a list of opportunities that the broker is related to using the following advice: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008zWVIAY
However, I am unsure how to incorporate that into the Visualforce email template below. We are looking to have a table listing all of the broker's referred opportunities along with the related financials in the email.
Any help is appreciated and thanks so much for y'alls time.

I've been seeking freelance writing work for a month now. From The Write Feeling site, Freelancer and several other places, I've put out my name and my skills to find work that pays. While prepared for how hard this would be, I didn't count on how frustrated I would feel. It's been a month and while my business plan reflected a slow start (over three months in fact), I'm still hurting that I've been unable to secure work.
On Tuesday I returned to my Freelancer account to assess my skill set. I updated it and began a fresh search for jobs with these new skills in mind. I now include ghostwriting in my skill set as well as blogging, articles, fiction, editing and proofreading. My search is primarily for editing and proofreading work, since this is what The Write Feeling specialises in, however, in light of the update, I did look at ghostwriting. Three days on I'm yet to place a bid on any ghostwriting job.
I spent a day considering this – since I'm unconsciously disregarding a potential source of income I need to know why! After much thought I found the answer and through understanding why I've avoided these jobs, I've also come to better understand my motivations as a writer.
Huh. So, though I'm paid, I don't get the credit for the piece? What if it's the best thing I've ever written? What if, after completing the job, I lose all my fingers and can't type another story ever again? What if I just decide to pack it all in, after the job? Despite having written something that is now published and earning a few pennies, I'll never get credit.
I laughed at myself when I identified the problem. I found it funny. It comes down to what I've always suspected about myself but have now proven: I don't care about the money. While it would be nice, big bucks are just a fringe benefit to seeing my name in print.
At least now that I know that, I can be smarter about how I bid for jobs on Freelancer and anywhere else.
Where do you guys draw the line when it comes to your writing? What is the key aspect of it for you that keeps you going back for more and more?

I have a full-time job to pay the bills. I write for fun. It would massage my ego if someone "discovered" me and published my work, but I'm not expecting that to happen any time soon. I guess I'm architypical amateur.
It's a curious balance with me. I've now reached the point that I can't remember what it was like working 'full time.' Most of my fun I get from being able to sleep (!), but writing helps too!
I'm dipping my toe into the water of freelance at the moment – thanks for your insight, it gives me more food for thought. I edit mostly but did succeed in collaborating in creating a Vision Statement for my local council recently – this is a boost for my freelance portfolio.
Oooh, awesome sauce. That sounds like a good piece to have done. Good luck to you too!

Before the University of Houston GOP Debate
February 24, 2016 L. Wayne Ashley	Leave a comment
In February of 2016, It's no surprise that the political world is at a frenzy right now. But what is different for those in the University of Houston community? That frenzy has taken over the campus this week. Set for Thursday, February 25th, the Republican Party's 'Super Tuesday' Debate will be held at UH's Moores Opera House. Even before the candidates arrive, the debate has caused a firestorm across Houston as party faithful, students and media all try to land coveted tickets into the 800-seat venue. With the race cut down from an historic 17 candidates to just 5 remaining, this week's debate could prove a pivotal turning point in the GOP contest.
So the Republican candidates we be at the University of Houston. But, will the candidates have an opportunity to actually see the University of Houston? If so, maybe they would be quite surprised by what is going on around them. The institution is much more than a stage… it's a window into America's future.
Perhaps they would see that, as the Number 2 most racially/ethnically diverse university in the nation, people of different races, ethnicities, backgrounds and faiths really can live, work and play together without fear or suspicion of what they don't always understand. Maybe, instead of calling for a wall on our Southern border, or a ban of all Muslims into the country, they would see that diversity forms an important asset to the UH community.
Perhaps they would see an institution that not only educates, but supports undocumented students and families. One that believes "all Texas high school graduates should enjoy equal access to our state universities and the opportunity to obtain a college education, becoming better informed and more productive contributors to our community,".
Maybe they would even see a campus that not only supports the LGBT community, but stands up for full equality even when it's not convenient.
Make no mistake… it's a distinct honor for UH to become just the third site in Texas to host any form of Presidential debate. But even better would be if the university's value could have some role as well.
In any event, Texas will be watching.

The Hollerwood Park board met for a second week in a row in order to expedite the process of opening the park. With the recent change in the proposed management contractor, the board needs to regroup around the management concept for the park. The major hurdles are out of the way from the business perspective, but now we need to solve the problem of staffing, trail development, maintenance, and business management. The board went in to Executive Session as outlined on the Facebook Event to discuss personnel and exactly how to proceed.
We've been at work upgrading our office building. We've tackled some electrical issues; running new circuits, adding new exterior security lights, adding motion-sensor lights, etc. We've also added new security features to the park including improved access solutions and access auditing. Finally, we finally were able to acquire internet access for the office building. This was one of our last big hurdles before opening the park.
We discussed the Boneyard off-road park. We've been in discussions with the managers of that park on how we can best cooperate with each other to make this area one of the best off-road destinations in the country.
Allmotive, Inc. formerly was the only vendor to submit a bid for the management of the park. Due to expanded operational opportunities, they have since pulled their offer, but found a replacement group in KRCA, LLC. Representatives from KRCA, LLC. came to the meeting to answer any questions the board may have regarding the contract. The board entered in to executive session to discuss the contract.


The iPhone 7 Plus is a large-format phablet type smartphone, and the size, although great for allowing an increased viewing area, always makes these phones a bit of a challenge to handle. The iPhone 7 Plus may have been the most water and dust-resistant of iPhones yet released, but any smartphone case or screen is liable to be damaged by a hard drop. In fact, impact damage is one of the most frequent reasons for people to have to seek out an iPhone 7 Plus repair.
The iTechnician network has Apple iPhone repair centres the length and breadth of the UK, so there's always an Apple device expert at hand when you need one. Whether you are looking for an iPhone 7 Plus screen repair, you have issues with the camera, or you've damaged the case, the iTechnician network members will have seen and repaired it before, so you're in good hands. You can also be assured of a local, friendly, professional service, and prices that won't be beaten.
To find an iTechnician network member, you simply need to select iPhone from the drop-down menu at the top of the page, and tell us your location. We will provide details of all the iTechs in your area, choose one or more of the featured technicians and request a quote online for your iPhone 7 Plus repair. Quotes are free, and you are not under any obligation to proceed with the repair, although we are confident that you will once you've seen the prices.
The launch event in September 2016 saw Tim Cook (CEO of Apple Inc.) announce two new iPhones - the iPhone 7 Plus and the iPhone 7. These iPhones were released for sale later the same month as the latest flagship models. As with all Apple launches, there had been rumours beforehand that there were to be significant changes, and controversially, the new iPhone 7 Plus was indeed released without a standard 3.5 mm jack socket. This change rendered all existing 3.5 mm socket peripherals redundant, unless the user was happy to fit the adaptor which had been supplied with the iPhone. Many chose to purchase new wireless peripherals such as Apple EarPods, to avoid this rather clunky-looking solution.
Another major change was the Home button – this has been a feature of iPhones right from the start, but the physical 'button' had now been replaced with a static capacitive Home key. This is a virtual button that appears to move as you press it – it is this feature that contributes to the iPhone 7 Plus being hailed as the most dust and water-resistant iPhone model yet released. Other enhancements were a telephoto lens combined with image-stabilisation on the rear 12-megapixel camera, 2 welcome new colour options of matt black and jet black, and a 5.5-inch super-detail display, as well as a super-fast processor.

HMS Churchill (I 45)
Destroyer of the Town class
Class Town
Pennant I 45
Built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. (Newport News, Virginia, U.S.A.)
Laid down 25 Nov 1918
Commissioned 9 Sep 1940
End service 16 Jul 1944
USS Herndon (DD 198) was decommissioned and turned over to Great Britain under the lend lease program at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 9 September 1940. As HMS Churchill (I 45), she served as leader of the first Town-class flotilla in transatlantic convoys and patrol duty off the western approaches to the British Isles. High points in her career in the Royal Navy include participation in the search for Bismarck after the German battleship had sunk HMS Hood (51), and a visit by her namesake, the redoubtable Prime Minister, on his way home from the momentous Atlantic Conference with President Roosevelt in August 1941. HMS Churchill (I 45) also served as an escort for the pre- and post-invasion buildup for Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa. Transferred to the Russian Navy 16 July 1944, the destroyer was renamed Dejatelnyj (Active) and was probably sunk by an U-boat on 16 January 1945 about 40 miles east of Cape Tereberski while escorting the convoy KB-1 over the treacherous route from Kola Inlet to the White Sea.

This annual rivalry high school football game between the Northern Kentucky powers Highlands Bluebirds and Covington Catholic Colonels looked to be the closest it had been in three years.
While the Bluebirds (6-2 overall, 1-1 district) fell short 21-14 in the Class 5A, District 5 battle, they left with the full confidence they are once again state championship contenders. The Colonels (8-0, 1-0) still own the state's longest winning streak at 23 in a row.
The thing that will haunt Highlands in this game is the turnovers. The Bluebirds threw two interceptions and lost a fumble while CovCath lost a fumble. Two of the Highlands turnovers gave the Colonels short field position they used to score 14 points.
"That was one heck of a game," said Eddie Eviston, CovCath Head Coach. "They came out and did some things offensively. Our defense was kind of bending, but they weren't really breaking all game. Obviously, it came down to a good defensive stand there at the end and kept them from tying the game or going for the win."
Junior defensive lineman Conner Zell recorded the fumble recovery for the Bluebirds. That marked his second one of the year tying junior linebacker Mason Schwalbach for the team-high.
Highlands ran for 299 yards of total offense on 71 plays compared to 256 on 51 plays. But Covington Catholic averaged just more than five yards per play compared to 4.2 for the Bluebirds. The Colonels had one solid drive down the field.
"I'm very proud of the offense," said Zach Deaton, Highlands Offensive Coordinator. "Obviously, there was a play here or there that we missed and in a game like this, you can't miss them. But I'm very proud of what we did offensively. We battled through the whole game. I don't know the stats are. Those are all great, but we want to be with more points than them at the end of the game so we will spend every second between now and each game that we play working to get to that."
CovCath came into the game averaging just more than 452 yards per game offensively. The Bluebirds held the Colonels well below their passing average of 231 yards per game to just 45 yards. Sophomore quarterback Caleb Jacob completed 4-of-10 passes for that amount. Junior tight end Michael Mayer had just one catch for 28 yards. Senior defensive lineman Ben Sisson sacked Jacob once.
"The defense played well," said Brian Weinrich, Highlands Head Coach. "There are some things we have to clean up obviously. There were a couple times we got lost and a couple times you get lost against a team like that, that's where they got their completion to (Mayer) to put them in position to score that first touchdown. There were a few times we could have gotten off the field sooner. We played fast. We played aggressive. We played confident. A good offense is going to do things. But our guys did a good job responding to the adjustments we were making based on the adjustments they were making. Like I told them after the game, it doesn't matter now. Now we have five weeks to get ready."
But CovCath rushed for 256 yards. Senior running back Casey McGinness came into the game averaging 163 yards per game. He finished with 179 yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns averaging 6.6 yards per carry.
"Our defense worked its tails off (Friday)," said Alex Starkey, Highlands senior linebacker. "They struggled getting anything and when they did get touchdowns, they were from the 10 going in. It's a tough loss, but we're going to come back and see them in November."
Highlands rushed for 185 yards against a 3-4 CovCath defense that allowed just 302 yards all season. A reason for that may be the Colonels have jumping out on teams early and forcing opponents to throw the ball.
Like pretty much every opponent this year, the Colonels focused on containing senior running back Cooper Schwalbach. Schwalbach had 36 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown averaging just more than 2.5 yards per carry. His touchdown with 3:11 left in the third quarter made the final score.
But sophomore running back Joe Buten gave the Bluebirds a spark rushing for 134 yards on 17 carries for an average of just under eight per touch. His 40-yard dash late in the first quarter set up Highlands at the CovCath 5. Highlands took its only lead when senior quarterback Grady Cramer hit senior Hunter Ahlfeld for a 2-yard touchdown with 11:57 left in the first half.
Cramer completed 14-of-29 passes for 114 yards one touchdown and two interceptions to six different receivers. The Colonels sacked Cramer twice.
Senior Nate Roberts had four catches for 33 yards and Ahlfeld had two catches for a team-high 34 yards. Senior Austin King had three catches for 20 yards and junior Adam Weyer had two receptions for 24 yards.
Following Ahlfeld's score, CovCath tied the game with 7:41 left in the half. Senior Duncan Summe ran a sweep around the left end for the score. After recovering a Highlands fumble inside the Bluebird 15, McGinness scored from three out with 6:10 left in the game to give the Colonels the lead for good at 14-7. Sophomore Ryan Schneider had the fumble recovery for the Colonels.
"It's one of those things where we've been used to scoring a lot more, but we had to do what we had to do to kind of control this game and come away with a win," Eviston said. "The biggest thing I can take away from this is our kids fought hard for four quarters. That was good to see."
Highlands had a chance to tie the game later in the half. But Summe intercepted the ball at the CovCath 1.
Senior Jack Coldiron had the interception early in the second half that set up the Colonels up at the Highlands 2. McGinness scored his second touchdown from two yards out to give CovCath a 21-7 advantage with 9:04 left in the third quarter.
"There was one where (the ball) just didn't quite get there and it was raining pretty well so I don't know," Deaton said. "(On) another interceptions, we kind of gave up as we were trying to make a play to end the half. We'll look at those and figure out what's going on, but I'm pretty happy with the decisions that were made by (Cramer) and some amazing throw there too. We'll get better at those for sure."
Highlands had a chance to tie the game late in the first half taking over at its own 26 with 4:53 left in the game after stopping McGinness just short of the first down on 4th-and-1. The Bluebirds came inches from tying the game. Ahlfeld got behind the CovCath defense, but the ball went off his hands.
The Bluebirds had a 4th-and-7 from the CovCath 33 with 40 seconds left. But the Colonels stopped Cooper Schwalbach from making the first down and took a knee to end the game.
Both teams made plays on third and fourth down. Highlands converted 6-of-13 for 46 percent on third down and 2-of-4 on fourth down for 50 percent. CovCath converted 3-of-9 third-down opportunities for 33 percent and neither of its two fourth-down tries.
Highlands concludes the regular season with two home games. The Bluebirds play host to the Greenwood Gators (2-6) from Class 5A, District 2 on Friday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.


It happens to all of us at some point: We could be traveling, commuting to work, at a meeting or headed out to dinner when we realize that we forgot to charge our phones, our tablets or our laptops. Then we have that moment of panic, as we feel disconnected from the world.
For whatever reason, it just didn't get done, we forgot our charger, we left without the international adapter, we forgot to plug them in and recharge, we left our alternate source of power somewhere else or we thought we had charged our devices sufficiently, but we just used whatever energy and power we had stored up. And now we find ourselves stranded without any connection.
Has it ever happened to you personally, energy level is low and getting lower, power supply drained and nowhere to plug in? And when we are in low-energy mode or our source of power feels like it is used up, doesn't it feel like we are disconnected from the world, too? It happens to me, for sure; sometimes I just run down my own battery so low, I need to plug in and power up.
So, what drains our batteries and our energy? When is it that we find ourselves tapping out and tired? And then how do we recharge and re-energize ourselves?
Well, I believe the first question is the most important: What is sucking the life from our personal power source? We need to identify what gives us energy and what drains us of energy. For me, tedious projects, negative people, drama and administrative tasks all sap my energy. I am just not a detail-oriented guy, pessimism and negativity have no place in my life, people who bring drama and problems that they really don't want solved take way too much time and energy, and paperwork such as reports, expenses and filling out forms are energy-killers for sure.
Now, let's talk about what gets me fired up and recharged: hope, creativity, positive people, teamwork, family time, reading, church, speaking, training and coaching and watching other people grow. Being a difference-maker in someone's life is one of the things that really gets me re-energized and ready to go and ready to grow myself.
So, when I am feeling low-energy levels or need a recharge, I reach out to positive people in my life, I send a text or make a call to my family, I tap into creativity to write a column, short story or poem, I remember why I am so hopeful and that hope is such a great activator of power, or I go deeper into my Bible study and prayer group.
It's like looking down at my phone and I see that I only have 7 percent battery life left, and then all I need to do is plug into one of the things that motivates me and re-energizes me, and the next thing I know, I am back up at 100 percent.
It seems to me that many of the people I speak with lately spend too much time or put too much focus on the things and people who drain them of their energy. What we need to do is to come up with a strategy to help identify those things that drain us of our power and energy and then recognize what gives us a spark, new life, inspiration, hope and a new source of power and then focus on those things while doing our very best to avoid the things that are weighing us down, sapping our strength and energy.
So how about you? Where are you spending most of your time? Are you filling your days with people, places and things that energize you, or are you caught up in all those things that cut off your own power supply? As always, I would love to hear all about it and your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we know where and how to recharge and re-energize our own batteries, it really will be a better-than-good week.
