Stop right there, don't make any more golf excuses before you tee off! The very next word you speak could ruin your golf score! Remember the last game of golf you had when you whinged more times than you care to remember? Maybe you felt by expressing how you felt you might get some sympathy from your playing partners?


We all woke up this morning to the first major snowstorm in our part of the world. Besides breaking out the shovels and ice melt, snow on the roads also means that we are adding 20-30 minutes to our commute. The added time, however, is well worth your safety – drive carefully.
Adverse weather results in over 1.5 million accidents per year.
Everyone in Rhode Island is a self-professed master of driving in the snow, but these national numbers seem to contradict our ability to drive in winter weather. Take it easy out there.
If you are injured in a car accident, whether a result of the snow or not, contact our office for a free consultation. There is no fee unless we are successful in obtaining money for you.

Q: Odoo 11 modules upgrade - KeyError: 'sequence' I am porting my Odoo 10 to Odoo 11.
I successfully used open upgrade to create a backup of my database v10 ready to be ported on v11.
I am using python 2.7.15rc1 in a virtual environment for version 10 and python 3.6.7 for version 11 still in virtual environment.
After DB port I am upgrading it with the option "-u all".

Tried to get more info on this online but couldn't find any detail.
Help appreciated.

A: Found the answer, there was a module partially loaded, in my case it was account_fiscal_year. It came in the log much earlier, I ignored it thinking that I could manage it later as this would not be linked to that warning, big mistake.
Always solve issues in the order they appear.

Q: express-gateway : Consolidate requests Is there a way to chain / consolidate multiple REST calls? For example, expose an api that would accept all order details and then when that api is called, make multiple calls for different steps like add to cart, checkout etc and when it's all done, send a response back.

A: unfortunately we're not offering such feature just yet, although it's highly requested, so I feel we will start to work it kind of soon.
In meantime, you can reach almost the same feature through a plugin that you can write by yourself.


If you take a close look at your Allo app, you will see a new sixth icon (fifth in the row) shaped like a paper clip. This icon is what you can now select in order to attach and send files in your Allo conversations.
Once you click on that paper clip icon, you will jump into your device's file explorer. From there you can select from the new assortment of supported .pdf, .docx, .apk, .zip, and mp3 files.
For those that that would like to trial this out but do not have the update yet, AP has you covered with a link to the newest version at APKMirror.
Staying true to form, (at least for Google) what would a new feature be without some glaring issue? I noticed right away that Allo does not support the sharing of Google's own Docs, Sheets, and Slides online files. Sure, now I can share Microsoft's .docx all day long, but why is it that I can not share Google's own documents from within their own messaging app?
Color me unsurprised. Two steps forward and one step back should be Google's motto at this point.

Microsoft DirectX [dəˈrektˈeks] je sada proprietárních knihoven, poskytujících aplikační rozhraní (API) pro umožnění přímého ovládání moderního hardwaru. Jejich cílem je maximální využití možností hardware jak po stránce nabízených funkcí, tak z hlediska maximálního výkonu, což je využíváno pro tvorbu počítačových her, multimediálních aplikací i grafického uživatelského prostředí (viz Windows Aero). Původně měla API samostatná jména (a dodnes mají) například Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic a další; název DirectX je tak zkratkou pro všechny tyto knihovny, kdy X nahrazuje název knihovny a později se tak stal i názvem celé kolekce. Když Microsoft začal vyvíjet vlastní herní konzoli, ono X bylo použito jako základ názvu (Xbox, zkratka z DirectXbox) a značilo tak, že i tato konzole poběží na technologii DirectX. Samotné X se pak objevilo i v názvech některých API posledních verzí DirectX, například Xinput, Xaudio2 nebo XACT.

Vývojářský kit pro DirectX (software development kit, SDK) pak obsahuje běhové (runtime [ˈrʌntaɪm]) knihovny v rozšiřitelné binární formě, společně s dokumentací pro použití. Původně se běhové knihovny DirectX instalovaly společně s hrami, nebo ručně uživatelem. Původní Windows 95 DirectX nativně neobsahoval – to až ve verzi Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2; od těch časů byl DirectX součástí všech následujících Windows. Vývojářský kit je pak možné zdarma stáhnout na internetu. Přestože je SDK uzavřeným (closed-source) softwarem, pro většinu částí je dostupný i zdrojový kód.

Direct3D 9Ex, Direct3D 10 a Direct3D 11 jsou dostupné pouze pro Windows Vista a novější, protože tyto verze spolupracují s novým nativním ovladačem WDDM, který byl představen právě ve Windows Vista. Tyto ovladače zahrnují novou správu video paměti, která podporuje virtualizaci grafického hardwaru v různých systémových aplikací, například správce oken.

Jak z názvu vyplývá, je DirectX produkt firmy Microsoft určeným výhradně pro operační systém Microsoft Windows.

Části
DirectX se skládá z několika částí, rozdělených podle svého účelu. Rozdělení je podstatné pouze pro programátory, protože je k dispozici jako souhrnný balík obsahující všechny komponenty.

 DirectX Graphics obsahující:
 DirectDraw: pro vykreslování 2D grafiky (rastrová grafika); nahrazeno Direct2D), avšak stále používáno ve hrách a pro renderování videa multimediálních aplikací
 Direct3D (D3D): pro vykreslování 3D grafiky
 DXGI: pro zjištění grafických adaptérů a monitorů, jež jsou k dispozici; poskytuje společný základ pro Direct3D a OpenGL
 Direct2D: pro 2D grafiku
 DirectWrite: pro fonty
 DirectCompute: pro využití GPU pro výpočty
 DirectInput: rozhraní pro vstupní zařízení (klávesnice, myš, joystick, různé herní ovladače); po verzi 8 nahrazeno rozhraním XInput pro ovladače Xbox 360 nebo standardní WM INPUT
 DirectPlay: pro komunikaci přes počítačovou síť; po verzi 8 označeno jako zastaralé (deprecated)
 DirectSound: pro přehrávání a záznam zvukových samplů
 DirectSound3D (DS3D): pro přehrávání prostorových zvuků
 DirectMusic: pro přehrávání zvuků vytvořených DirectMusic; označeno za zastaralé
 DirectX Media: zahrnující DirectAnimation pro webovou 2D/3D animaci, Microsoft DirectShow pro přehrávání multimédií a streamování, DirectX Transform pro webové interaktivní aplikace a Direct3D Retained Mode pro 3D grafiku vyšší úrovně; DirectShow obsahuje DirectX pluginy pro zpracování audiosignálu a DirectX Video Acceleration pro akcelerované přehrávání videa
 DirectX Diagnostics (dxdiag): nástroj pro diagnostiku a podání zpráv o stavu jednotlivých komponent (audio, video, vstupní ovladače)
 DirectX Media Objects: podpora pro streamované objekty (enkodéry, dekodéry a efekty)
 DirectSetup: pro instalaci komponent DirectX a zjištění jeho aktuální verze

Historie
V druhé polovině roku 1994 byl Microsoft připraven na vydání svého nového operačního systému, Windows 95. Důležitým rozhodujícím faktorem pro zákazníky pochopitelně bylo, co za aplikace budou moci na tomto systému spustit. Tři zaměstnanci Microsoftu, Craig Eisler, Alex St. John a Eric Engstrom, však byli znepokojeni, protože pro herní vývojáře byl lepší platformou předešlý operační systém MS-DOS, což by znamenalo málo aplikací pro Windows 95 a tedy neúspěch celého systému.

DOS dovoloval přímý přístup ke grafickým kartám, klávesnicím, myším, zvukovým zařízením a dalším částem systému, zatímco Windows 95 s ochranou paměti přístup ke všem zařízením neumožňoval. Microsoft tak potřeboval rychlé řešení pro programátory, vzhledem k tomu že Windows 95 měl brzy vyjít. Trojlístek Eisler, St. John a Engstrom tak společně pracoval na řešení, které později nazvali DirectX.

První verze DirectX byla vydána v září 1995 jako Windows Games Software Development Kit. Byla tak náhradou za DCI a WinG, API určené pro Windows 3.1. Díky DirectX tak všechny Windows, počínaje verzí 95, umožňovaly vysokou multimediální výkonnost. Následné přijetí DirectX herními vývojáři bylo ale velmi pozvolné; přetrvávaly totiž obavy, že DirectX bude brzy nahrazen něčím novým (jako tomu bylo u DCI a WinG), že Windows 95 nepřekonají výkon MS-DOS, a že velký počet konzervativních vývojářů zůstane právě u MS-DOS.

DirectX 2.0 se stal přímou součástí Windows s příchodem verze Windows 95 OSR a Windows NT 4.0 v polovině roku 1996. Protože byl Windows 95 stále nový systém, pro který bylo vydáno malé množství počítačových her, tak se Microsoft rozhodl pro silnou propagaci u herních vývojářů, kteří nevěřili ve schopnosti Microsoftu vytvořit fungující herní platformu pro Windows. Duchovní otec DirectX, Alex St. John, měl pak na konferenci pro herní vývojáře v roce 1996 přednášku, kde mimo jiné nechyběli ani živí lvi, na které Microsoft poprvé představil Direct3D a DirectPlay, a demonstrovali režim více hráčů (multiplayer [ˈmʌltipleɪə(r)]) hry MechWarrior 2 hraný přes internet.

Tým okolo DirectX pak čelil výzvě testování všech verzí na veškerém dostupném hardwaru a softwaru. Velké množství grafických karet, zvukových karet, základních desek, CPU, vstupních zařízení, her a dalších multimediálních aplikací bylo testováno s každou beta verzí a finální verzí. Tento tým stál také za vývojem testovacího prostředí, který hardwarovým vývojářům dovoloval testovat, že nový hardware a jeho ovladače budou s DirectX plně kompatibilní.

V upravené verzi je DirectX použitý také na konzolích Xbox a Xbox 360. API pro Xbox bylo navrženo Microsoftem společně s firmou Nvidia, která pro původní Xbox navrhla grafický čip NV2A (odvozený z GeForce 3). API pro Xbox je velmi podobné PC verzi 8.1, nicméně (tak, jako ostatní technologie konzolí) je neaktualizovatelné na novější verzi. Pracovní název pro konzole Xbox byl původně DirectXbox.

Přehled verzí DirectX
Verze DirectX zde uvedené musí také podporovat grafická karta!

DirectX 10
Tento významný update celého DirectX je dostupný pouze pro systém Windows Vista a novější. Předchozí verze Windows (například Windows XP) nemohou spouštět aplikace určené pro DirectX 10. Pokud je v systému s Windows XP hardware podporující verzi 10, pracuje neplnokrevně v módu DirectX 9.0c (což je poslední verze, která pro Windows XP vyšla). Některé neoficiální projekty ale přinesly port DirectX i pro Windows XP.

DirectX přineslo významné změny. Spousta částí aplikačního rozhraní byla zavržena a v nejnovějším vývojářském kitu se zachovaly jen kvůli kompatibilitě. DirectInput nahradil novější Xinput, DirectSound nahradil systém XACT (Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool) a přišel o hardwarovou akceleraci; Windows Vista renderují zvuk jen softwarově via CPU. Knihovna DirectPlay, dplay.dll, byla odstraněna a nahrazena knihovnou dplayx.dll. Počítačové hry, které tuto knihovnu využívaly, řeší problém duplikací knihovny a jejího následného přejmenování na dplay.dll. První hrou, přímo založenou na DirectX 10, byla 3D FPS Halo 2, která byla určená jen pro Windows Vista. Mezi další hry patří například Bioshock a Crysis.

Aby se dosáhlo zpětné kompatibility, DirectX ve Windows Vista obsahují několik verzí Direct3D:

 Direct3D 9: emuluje chování Direct3D 9 tak, jak tomu bylo ve Windows XP. Veškeré nové funkce WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) jsou pro aplikace zakázané, pokud jsou tyto ovladače nainstalovány. Jde o jediné dostupné API v případě, že jsou nainstalovány ovladače pro Windows XP (XDDM), například při upgradu na Windows Vista.

 Direct3D 9Ex (při vývoji Windows Vista také známé jako 9.0L nebo 9.L): povolují přímý přístup ke všem funkcím WDDM (za předpokladu, že jsou ovladače WDDM nainstalovány), při zachování zpětné kompatibility; Windows Aero plocha běží právě na D3D 9Ex.

 Direct3D 10: Designováno pro nový model ovladačů ve Windows Vista (WDDM) obsahující několik zlepšení renderovacích schopností a flexibility, například Shader Model 4.

DirectX 10.1 je přírůstkový update verze 10.0, který vyšel společně s Windows Vista Service Pack 1, který také vyžadoval. Tato verze upravuje několik standardů kvality obrazu, díky kterým mají výrobci grafických karet nad kvalitou obrazu větší kontrolu. Také například přidává rozhraní Direct2D, podporu kubické mapování (cubic mapping), exportování krycích masek z pixel shaderů, schopnost provozu pixel shaderu po snímcích a vyžaduje, aby grafické karty podporovaly Shader Model 4.1 a vyšší a 32bitové operace s plovoucí desetinnou čárkou. Tato verze plně podporuje hardware DirectX 10.0, ale pro správný chod všech nových funkcí je potřeba hardware s podporou verze 10.1.

DirectX 11
Microsoft představil DirectX 11 v Seattlu na Gamefest 08. Hlavní novinky pak byly podpora GPGPU (DirectCompute) a zlepšení vícejádrové podpory pro herní vývojáře, pro jednodušší odladění her pro vícejádrové (multi core) procesory. DirectX 11 podporuje Windows Vista, 7 i 8. Některé součásti tohoto API fungují i s hardwarem určeným pro starší verze 9/10/10.1, zatímco například Shader Model 5.0 vyžaduje hardware s přímou podporou DirectX 11. Jedenáctka je pak rozšířením verze 10.1 – veškerý hardware a funkce 10.1 byly zachovány, nové funkce se zapínají pouze pokud je vyžaduje aplikace. To pomáhá zachování plné kompatibility se staršími verzemi DirectX.

Microsoft vydal finální update pro Windows Vista pět dní po oficiálním vydání Windows 7, které DirectX 11.0 obsahovaly ve své základní výbavě.

Direct X 11.1 je přímou součástí Windows 8. Podporuje WDDM 1.2 pro zlepšení výkonu, zlepšení integrace Direct2D, Direct3D a DirectCompute a přináší DirectXMath, XAudio2 a knihovny z XNA framework pro Xinput.

DirectX 11.2 pak bude exkluzivně pouze pro Windows 8.1 (podobně jako DirectX 10.1 pro Windows Vista Service Pack 1).

DirectX 12
Určen pro Windows 10; vyžadován pro běh Windows 11.

Direct3D
Direct3D je programové API rozhraní nabízející aplikacím širokou škálu funkcí pro práci s 3D grafikou.

US authorities have resumed "Operation In Our Sites" and have seized several domain names associated with copyright infringement or counterfeit related crimes. Among the new targets are two sites that linked to copyrighted films hosted on third party streaming sites such as megavideo.com and veoh.com. Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has yet to officially announce the new operation.
Over the past several months a series of domain name seizures by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made headlines across the Internet.
Under the flag of "Operation In Our Sites" the authorities shut down a dozen file-sharing and streaming sites and many more accused of selling counterfeit goods.
The first two domains are accused of copyright-related offenses, but did not host any copyrighted films themselves. Both Re1ease.net and Watchnewfilms.com linked to popular movie streaming sites such as Veoh.com and Megavideo.com. The rest of the domains appear to be connected to sales of counterfeit goods.
The new targets were most likely put forward to ICE by movie industry groups. In April of this year ICE director John Morton admitted that his organization was acting based on "tips from industry representatives," among others.
The authorities are also aware of the fact that the domain seizures themselves are not really an effective tool. As pointed out before, more than half of the piracy-related domains that were seized by Operation In Our Sites simply continued under a different name.
To quash allegedly copyright infringing sites more effectively U.S. lawmakers introduced the PROTECT IP Act last week. Aside from domain seizures, the new bill will also make it possible to block sites on an ISP level, to censor search engines, and to cut funding of allegedly copyright-infringing websites.
TorrentFreak is closely monitoring developments in Operation in Our Sites 4 and if any additional domains are seized we will update this report accordingly.

Aaron Rodgers: 'If Science Can't Be Questioned…It's Propaganda'
URGENT: FACEBOOK AND TWITTER SAY THEY WILL STEP UP THEIR CRACKDOWN ON CONSERVATIVE CONTENT. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR TODD'S EXCLUSIVE CONSERVATIVE NEWSLETTER AND AVOID THE BIG TECH CENSORS!
Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, decried the appeal to authority on the "Pat McAfee Show," those who say science shouldn't be questioned, equating that fallacy to propaganda.
"If science can't be questioned, it's not science anymore; it's propaganda," Rodgers told an excited McAffee.
"That's the truth," he added. "When did science become this blind agreement [about] not having any debate over what can actually heal people and work for people. That makes no sense to me."
SUBSCRIBE TO TODD'S RUMBLE CHANNEL FOR CONSERVATIVE VIDEOS!
Rodgers' comments come in light of his recent infection with COVID-19, during which he followed up with a series of treatments that did not include a vaccine. "I also got better in 48 hours," from the treatments he added. "And I had symptoms."
In a separate appearance on McAfee's show, Rodgers questioned why there was no public discussion on the promotion of a healthy lifestyle to combat the virus.
"Throughout this entire time, there hasn't been real conversations around health…As far as giving people, you know, things to think about when it comes to how to be healthier, right? As far as your diet, vitamins, exercise and those kinds of things," Rodgers stated. Read more at Newsmax.

Q: Fisher's exact test two sided confusion Consider the guessing milk tea example
$$\begin{array}{c|c|c|}
 & \text{Guess Milk} & \text{Guess Tea} \\ \hline
\text{Milk} & 3 & 1 \\ \hline
\text{Tea} & 1 & 3 \\ \hline
\end{array}$$
I want to test that $H_0: \theta  = 1$ (independent) vs. $H_a: \theta  \neq  1$ (associated)
The formula for $P(n_{11} = t) = \frac{{n_{1+} \choose t} {n_{2+} \choose n_{+1}-t}}{{n \choose n_{+1}}}$
It's fixed on $n_{11}$
The range is given by $m_- = max(0, n_{11} - n_{22}) = max(0,0) = 0$ and $m_+ = min(n_{11}+n_{12}, n_{11}+n_{21}) = min(4,4) = 4$.
$$0 \leq n_{11} \leq 4$$

This is what my notes did after that
$P(n_{11} = 0) = 0.0143, P(n_{11} = 1) = 0.2285, P(n_{11} = 2) = 0.5143, P(n_{11} = 3) = 0.2285, P(n_{11} = 4) = 0.0143$
Thus, the two sided p-value is $$P(n_{11} = 0) + P(n_{11} = 1) + P(n_{11} = 3) + P(n_{11} = 4) = 0.4857$$.
Why was $P(n_{11} = 2)$ excluded ?

The algorithms' goal is to create clusters that are coherent internally, but clearly different from each other externally. I'm still not figuring out why this is causing memory difficulties. Because of that, MD works well when two or more variables are highly correlated and even if their scales are not the same. I had this a part of my comment but it's really a candidate as an answer unless I missed the point of question: Shouldn't it be just: ?

Any unambiguous substring can be given. Usually, built in functions are faster that coding it yourself (because coded in Fortran or C/C++ and optimized). If both sets do not have the same number of points, the distance between each pair of points is given. However, while not that much is being saved in memory, it is very very slow for large matrices (my use case of ~150K rows is still running). distances (also known as dissimilarities) can be added by providing an If all pairs are excluded when I need to create a function that calculates the euclidean distance between two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) as d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)). and y (supremum norm).

In theory this avoids the errors associated with trying to calculate distance measures for very large matrices. For categorical data, we suggest either Hamming Distance or Gower Distance if the data is mixed with categorical and continuous variables. And is the goal to find the minimum distances or to find which one is the minimum for each data.test row. pdist2 supports various distance metrics: Euclidean distance, standardized Euclidean distance, Mahalanobis distance, city block distance, Minkowski distance, Chebychev distance, cosine distance, correlation distance, Hamming distance, Jaccard distance, and Spearman distance. In mathematics the Euclidean distance or Euclidean metric is the "ordinary" distance between the two points that one would measure with a ruler, which can be proven by repeated application of the Pythagorean theorem. (aka asymmetric binary): The vectors Terms with zero numerator and denominator are omitted from the sum Thanks in advance (and for your patience). Apologies for what may seem a simple question, but I'm still struggling to think in a vectorised way. I'm wondering whether anyone can advise or point me in the right direction in terms of vectorising my function, using apply or similar. You might want to split it a bit for optimization. Here is an example, with three levels and 10000 training rows: If the data is not discrete and unordered, then the formula for Gower's distance is different, but I suspect that there is a similar way to compute this more efficiently without computing the entire distance matrix via gower.dist. Am lost please help. Academic Press. This calculator determines the distance (also called metric) between two points in a 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D Euclidean, Manhattan, and Chebyshev spaces. a numeric matrix, data frame or "dist" object.

Affordable Accoutrements: My First PINK Post!
When I e-mailed Beverly of How Sweet the Sound to inquire about participating in "Pink Saturday," I assumed it might be something I'd try NEXT week ... not now! But she graciously said she'd add me to the list of Pinks. Then I had to think pink .... and think fast!
The first thing I thought of was the big crepe myrtle in front of the house. I went out and cut a few of the low-hanging blooms. As I was headed inside, I noticed several other pink blossoms of various types. The casual arrangement below is the result. If you're a gardener, you can probably name the various components (one or two I'm a bit unsure of myself). The urn came from an antique mall and cost $5. The round "chop plate" in the foreground (holding rolls in a napkin) is by Theodore Haviland. The pattern is "Apple Blossom." The little round dish with the hibiscus bloom is from Goodwill and cost around fifty cents.
The feather wreath is from Goodwill, and I featured it in one of my first posts. The ironstone plates on top of the stack are also GW finds. The pattern is "Snow White Regency" by Johnson Brothers. The large plates used as chargers are from Crate & Barrel. The pink flowered tablecloth was a yard sale find (the same one I used for "Morning Coffee on the Terrace").
The lace placemats are from a yard sale, and the "Sum & Substance" hosta leaves are from .... the garden. The flatware is "Patrician" by Oneida, introduced in 1914. I paid around $15, plus shipping, on eBay for a service for 10. It has an intitial engraved on it (an E or an H ... difficult to tell). I suppose that's why no one else bid on it ... it's one of the reasons I like it!
The pale pink damask napkins were an estate sale bargain. The simple decanter was $1 at a local thrift store. The glasses are "Flanders" by Tiffin. The pattern was introduced in the 1920's.
They had rim chips, which I filed down to make them usable. I'll show you how it's done in a future post.
The pitcher is made by Cash Family-Clinchfield Artware Pottery. Cash was a small company in Erwin, Tennessee. Family members had worked for Southern Potteries, manufacturer of Blue Ridge dinnerware. All the pieces were hand-painted. In it's heyday, Southern Potteries was the largest manufacturer of handpainted dinnerware in the world. Both Blue Ridge and Cash pieces are highly collectible (and not terribly expensive).
It's nice to have fresh flowers from the garden, isn't it?
After the "Pink" shots were taken, only the flowers remained. The Gorham silverplated candleholders were 2 for 49 cents at GW.
I hated to waste the large hosta leaves, so I used one to line this vase. Most of the daisies were left from this week's "Tablescape Thursday" post.
Hope you enjoyed. See you next time!
Very nice! Welcome to Pink Saturday.
Welcome to Pink Saturday. Your flowers and table scape are gorgeous. What wonderful finds from the GW.Happy Pink Saturday.
Congratulations on your first pink Saturday -- your table is beautiful -- love all of your pink!
You are truly a bargain shopper -- and such neat pieces at such great prices!
Welcome and Happy Pink Saturday!
The tablescape is just wonderful... so many excellent finds!
I love how you arranged the flowers in the urn and added the feather wreath.
Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Bill. I am glad you decided to join us.
I like your idea of using your hosta leaves under the plates. I had no thought of that, and it looks great. Your table setting looks wonderful. It was very interesting to learn about the Cash pottery. I have a few pieces of Blue Ridge.
I believe your crepe myrtles are the same color as ours. I love all crepe myrtles, but this is my favorite.
Wow Bill, I'm impressed. Everything that you showed was soo romantic and went together perfectly. Are you a design professional?
Stop by The Old Parsonage anytime, I love company.
Welcome to Pink Saturday, Bill! Just beautiful - everything! I love what you did with the flowers and your tablescape is fantastic. Thanks so much!
WOW, Bill! First, let me welcome you to Pink Saturday. Second, let me say ....YOU HAVE A GREAT GOODWILL!
Loved your leaf idea. Very creative!
I love your "pinkness". The feather wreath is just perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the follow. The flowers are so lovely. Can I pull up a chair? lol What a wonderful table setting! Have a great week!
Oh, Bill, this is such a pretty pink post, and I love your arrangement... crepe myrtles are so pretty. They just speak summer to me.
I'm so glad you joined us for Pink Saturday and hope it's extra special for you!
happy 1st pink saturday. love your table, especially love all the great deals you got! have a wonderful week.
Love your table! Such a pretty post for Pink Saturday. Welcome, to your first and enjoy your weekend.
Oh how wonderful!!! Congrats on your first Pink Saturday!!! You really know how to flaunt the pink!!!
I love the pitcher and the fresh flowers are gorgeous!!! Beautiful post!!!
This is my first time to your blog and I love everything especially that beautiful green feather wreath around your gorgeous arrangement.....of course I love...love the white pottery....I love your little class on Cash Pottery.
Happy Pink Saturday and a nice week ahead.
P.S. Where in TN are you? I lived in Knoxville when I was a youngster and recently visited a girlfriend in Franklin. I came home and told my husband, I want to MOVE to Franklin!!!
What a fabulous 'scape you put on for Pink Saturday!
Happiest of Pink Saturdays to you!
little pink world! FABULOUS table...especially the feathers!
Hi Bill ~ wowza, I am so glad you joined Pink Saturday so I could have so much fun reading your blog! It's fantastic as are all your finds! How come I can't find great things like that at GW?
Wow Bill, I love it! Everything looks sooo pretty! Thank you for sharing with us.
What a pretty table setting.
This is so beautiful - and as always, you give us such great information about all your dishes. I love all the finds - always a thrill to find a treasure that someone else tossed!
I enjoyed your pictures very much! All of your finds are wonderful and it's fun to hear where they're from. I really like the square ironstone plates. You have the knack for putting it all together.
This is beautiful! I always enjoy seeing all your thrifty tablescape finds. You really have a knack for creating centerpieces with fresh flowers.
I love your dish with the soft pink flowers in them. but have to say, your table really just looks beautiful.
Your table scape was beautiful! I love the flowers and the use of the leaves, on the table and in the vase. Welcome to Pink Saturday and have a terrific Sunday!
I love all of it!I love that you can set up beautifully decorated tables without spending a fortune.
I showed this post to my husband and together we admired your lovely tablescape.
This is gorgeous, Bill! I love how you used the hosta leaves!
You truly have a great sense of beauty!
I was going to send you a Happy Pink Saturday, but that's a little late now... so have a happy pink and sunny week!
My goodness, I leave you alone 5 minutes and look at all these posts! :-) This is the best PS post I've ever seen! Gorgeous table setting and that arrangement is stunning! I think I see hydrangea, butterfly bush and crepe myrtle. Can't remember the name of the varigated stuff, although I have that same bush, too. I definitely want to read a post of filing edges of chipped stemware...I have several old pieces I was given that need that terribly.
Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Bill! And what a lovely post you had for us! The table is just gorgeous, but my favorite is the flower arrangement . . . well done!
I'll spend some time later going through your blog . . . you have some great stuff here!
Hope you enjoyed your first Pink Saturday!


Whether you're just moving into your first home or you've been settled for some time, you should love your home every time you walk in. As a safe haven from the ills of work and the wider world, your home needs to excite you and comfort you in equal measure; it should be something you're proud of, something you want to show off to guests and somewhere you're happy to lay your head each night.
Of course, if you're new to home ownership or you've never really given any thought to interior design, you might not know where to start on creating your perfect home. Don't worry – we're here to help. These tips should help you get started with planning and executing your vision for a home you'll be proud to call yours. Here is our beginner's guide on creating the perfect home.
Art and photographs add a certain je ne sais quoi to a room. Even if you find it difficult to know exactly why art is important, you'll certainly notice the difference if you enter a room with no art, or if the art in a room isn't doing it for you. Filling a room with personalised, eye-catching art makes it feel more like home, gives guests a conversation topic and gives you something to look at and remember into the bargain. We recommend starting with a custom photoshoot taken by a great studio like this one. Whether it's your family, your pets, your kids or even just yourself, a photoshoot can show off your good side, show visitors your character and maybe even help you learn something about your family's personality into the bargain.
Sure, you could opt for that chest of drawers or that wardrobe from a well-known flatpack furniture outlet. That furniture would be functional, and it would serve its purpose fine. What it wouldn't do, though, is add character to a room. Everyone ends up with the same furniture in their house, and yours won't seem remarkable to guests or family members. Instead, try sourcing furniture from charity stores, friends who are getting rid of unwanted pieces or even from street corners – people often throw away furniture, and it's better put to use in your home than sitting out on the street doing nothing. Building an aesthetic with unique and interesting furniture will make your home feel more individual.
Don't make the rookie mistake of assuming your central room, bedroom or even kitchen can double as your home office if you're working from home. That way lies disaster; you'll be frequently distracted by your family or by noise, and you won't be able to get work done. As such, make sure you build a home office, or allocate a room as an office or study if you're a home worker. If not, then it's a good idea to have a room in which you can indulge your hobbies. If you're a film buff, try building a home cinema; you don't need expensive equipment for this, just a decent furniture arrangement. Similarly, if you're a gamer, allocate some space for your consoles, such as the PS4, and a decent home entertainment system; having somewhere to escape when the pressures of life overwhelm you is important.
The smaller details of your home are where the whole aesthetic will really come together. Choose curtains that complement the overall visual style you're going for, and you'll reap rewards when you realise the whole thing fits perfectly. Similarly, you might be tempted to put all your effort into choosing the right seating without worrying about adornments like cushions and throw blankets. Buying little extras like that really makes a place feel alive. If you're building a home office, try adding personal touches like art you love, or memories of certain times in your life; working in that environment will feel that much better if the space feels more personal. Add little decorations like mantelpiece adornments, pottery, sculpture and other assorted miscellanies; the smaller details will really accent the bigger stuff.
It sounds minor, but one of the biggest ways you can create the perfect home is to cook home meals regularly. The nutritional benefits of eating home-cooked meals are obvious and well-documented, but the actual act of cooking is intimate, homely and helps you become acquainted with an unfamiliar space (or become re-acquainted with a familiar one). If you're not a skilled chef, then cooking regularly can help you improve your cooking prowess; building a skill and learning how to do something new can give you a great association with your home. If you are a skilled chef but you've lapsed, or work is becoming overwhelming, then you'll re-discover an old love of yours and improve your family's nutrition into the bargain.


As an encouragement cheerfully to offer intercessory prayer, remember that such prayer is the sweetest God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ is of this character. In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain for himself.
His intercession must be the most acceptable of all supplications—and the more like our prayer is to Christ's, the sweeter it will be; thus while petitions for ourselves will be accepted, our pleadings for others, having in them more of the fruits of the Spirit, more love, more faith, more brotherly kindness, will be, through the precious merits of Jesus, the sweetest oblation that we can offer to God, the very fat of our sacrifice.
Remember, again, that intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with its marvellous deeds. Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren.
When thou hast the King's ear, speak to him for the suffering members of his body. When thou art favoured to draw very near to his throne, and the King saith to thee, "Ask, and I will give thee what thou wilt," let thy petitions be, not for thyself alone, but for the many who need his aid.
What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us.
But when he had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty and for succour in the day of trial.
We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock—Christ Jesus the Lord.
Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner upon the daily bounty of God; and hence your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and therefore the supplies have been infinitely great, and your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless.
Then have you not cause to say, "I love the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplication"? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God's answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonoured him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat.


I've been getting more and more .NET developers talking to me about my MapGuide Open Source move over the holiday. Seems like many ArcIMS developers are downloading and checking out MapGuide, trying to get away from the ArcGIS Server/Desktop conflict (they have to develop on 9.1, but their IT department wants to roll out 9.2). I've said this before, but every day I get more and more ESRI developers asking me for directions on how augment their toolbox with open source. Personally I'm beginning to see the power behind hit and the .NET integration is welcome. After my initial battle with PHP, I'm running very well and at least on this laptop MapGuide Open Source and AJAX Tile viewer. It seems to run faster than ArcIMS 9.2 and the Web ADF on my laptop, but I'll be honest that isn't a scientific observation.
The most remarkable thing in my mind was that this meeting was unlike any other event of a similar type that I have attended at AU (Autodesk University) in the past, and I think the reason was that the focus was on open source, specifically MapGuide Open Source.
I think the move to open source MapGuide has been a great one, not only for Autodesk, but their users. The kicker here is how open source will direct the future of MapGuide and how that differs greatly from the traditional closed model that seems to be driven more by large clients (see PUG) and less by the small users like ourselves. This whole "Request for Comment" process is wonderful because you don't need to know Jack Dangermond personally to get a say in the future development of products that directly affect your career. There are small companies doing great things with MapGuide Open Source so anyone can be successful at open source web mapping.
MapGuide Open Source just reinforces the idea that the future of web based applications will be based around the open source model that companies such as Autodesk have jumped on. Being at the front of this wave will benefit not only Autodesk, but the community that is built around MapGuide itself. Exciting times indeed Geoff!

Q: Using the Facebook API compared with the Twitter API I thought it would be useful to contrast facebook's api with twitter's, when it came to accessing user information.  I am not sure about facebook's API, so I'm trying to clarify and compare the following:
1) With twitter, you can scrape data about most people by using an "application" oauth token/secret. Simple and free apps can do twittermining with there own oauth token/secret, that has no relation to a user.
Is this approach possible in facebook?
2) With twitter, an oauth credential has several requests which it can be used to "power".  In facebook, can we reuse and recycle Oauth tokens for different requests?  Or are they specific to users?  This relates to question (1), since I'm not quite clear on whether the graph API allows anonymous requests.

A: In general, Facebook is less open than Twitter when it comes to sharing information. Privacy is more of a concern because people share more personal data on Facebook.

*

*Yes, you can use facebook's APIs to "scrape" data about people. What and how much data you can scrape depends on their privacy settings, privileges they have granted your app, etc. While the ethics are somewhat questionable and it is probably against facebook's terms of use, it is technically possible to create an account and use an OAuth token to gather data about people with it (although the amount of data you can gather, again, depends on their privacy settings).

*OAuth tokens are user-specific. When a user logs in and authorizes your app to access their account, you're given a token you can use to access their account. You can make anonymous Graph API calls, as not every call requires an access token. However, data about users is generally limited to what's available on facebook when you're not signed in when making "anonymous" requests with no access token.
Facebook's Developer documentation pretty well covers what is available. It may be confusing or unclear at times, so I've found the best way to figure out what's possible and what's not is to write a little app and try it.


Yeah, the only things I still buy from Amazon now are books.. what I started with. Although now most are ebooks. TIhe final physical item (besides books) was their own Kindle. I've stopped buying other stuff from (or should I say 'via') Amazon. Completely.
Its the same way with certain PDA batteries or phone batteries. I hate it.

Gagosian Paris: Takashi Murakami and others come together to help Notre Dame
Tawfik Akachar
Senior Writer, Paris
Exhibition for Notre Dame de Paris — The Gagosian Gallery in Paris has just announced a new exhibition that will benefit Notre Dame. The international gallery is committed to paying homage to traditional French culture and architecture through an impressive exhibition. The exhibition — that is set to open on June 9 2019 in Paris — will later be open to the public from July 11 to July 27.
Une publication partagée par Takashi Murakami (@takashipom) le 12 Déc. 2018 à 12 :26 PST
And the list of artists taking part in the charity event goes on and on. Some of the most sought after gallery artists are giving away artworks to raise money for the French monument. The biggest stars of the last decade will be part of the transient joint project. Among the list, some artists have even crafted artworks just for the unique event. All of the names listed in the exhibition are available on Instagram or on the Gagosian Paris' official website.
Une publication partagée par Gagosian (@gagosian) le 30 Mai 2019 à 9 :54 PDT
An artistic philanthropy
The proceeds generated by the event will fully go to the Friends of Notre-Dame de Paris organization (La Fondation Notre-Dame). In their press release, the Gagosian Paris also takes time to thank set designer Cécile Dugos and design company Astier de Villatte, for their contributions to the event.
"Notre-Dame is one of the most widely recognized symbols of the city of Paris and the French nation. I wish to contribute to the reconstruction of this iconic monument after watching, with devastation, as it was engulfed in flames", Larry Gagosian, owner and founder of the Gagosian galleries recently stated.
The Parisian landmark's roof burned down for a whole night earlier this year and people from all over the world showed support to the cathedral. After the tragic fire that happened in Notre Dame on April 15 2019, some of the wealthiest organizations in France came together to provide a fund to have the roof rebuilt. The LVMH and Kering groups, among others, were the first to react. The donations quickly piled up and after 10 days, had already reached the billion euro mark.

Yemeni Former President Ali Saleh Committed a Deadly Mistake, Literally
Arabi Souri December 4, 2017 Yemen 2 Comments
Former president of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed today upon his attempt to flee the Yemeni capital Sanaa towards the bases of the US-led Coalition in Marib.
The longest-serving president in the Arab World for more than 33 years and been in the shadow policies of the Yemeni's leading political The General People's Congress party has committed a horrific mistake that led to his killing.
The news of the killing was contradicting until the Yemeni Ministry of Interior issued an official statement confirming the death of the former president without naming him and followed within few minutes with footage showing the body of Saleh wrapped in a rug and loaded to a pickup truck.
Graphic: Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh – Killed – image blurred (original: http://bit.ly/2iMVGrf)
Saleh was attempting escape where the Saudi-led Coalition had targeted 11 army posts and checkpoints of local defense forces killing scores of the local fighters along his escape route. His convoy was made of 3 armored vehicles that fell in an ambush by the forces loyal to the Yemeni government.
Two of his sons accompanying him were arrested and a number of his entourage were killed and injured.
Saleh's Deadly Mistake:
Saleh felt the danger of being arrested by the Yemeni government after his inflammatory statements in support with the Saudi-led aggression against his country and when he saw that his closest aides have abandoned him so he decided to flee towards forces under the command of his cousin which joined the Saudi forces against their own country. His statement, his acts and amounting evidence against him of his involvement of directing mercenaries to create chaos in the Yemeni capital Sanaa and his agreements with Yemen's enemies over the years made his former overt allies in Yemen as calling it a betrayal and backstabbing.
This chapter now closed opens a clear choice for the Yemeni people whom over 22 million out of 30 million of them stayed loyal to their government against the Saudi aggression and its attempt to install a puppet regime headed by Saleh's own deputy.
Houthis are now focusing on the outside front with Saudi and its allies, no more strained by local infighting and backstabbing while they fight to defend their country.
Yemen has been under continuous criminal bombardment for the past 3 years and under inhumane siege condemned by all nations and international organizations. The suffering of the people of Yemen is massive and the crisis they're living is unprecedented as all heads of United Nations organizations has described. Check our former report The Saudi Led Coalition is Killing Yemen Slowly, and Painfully.

A reporter with iGaming, John Mehaffey, has called out WSOP Nevada and its communications executive, Seth Palansky, for participating in what he referred to as "meritless thuggery." Mehaffey made the remarks in response to what he perceives as strong-arm tactics by the WSOP and Palansky in an effort to force vulnerable players into playing more.
It all started with a cashout dispute between Mehaffey and WSOP Nevada. That dispute has been resolved, but Mehaffey asserted in a subsequent blog post, "WSOP Poker Site Sent Me Dubious Legal Threat," that the site uses several protocols that are contrary to responsible gaming guidelines.
The issues began in July 2017, when Mehaffey was banned from the site. That ban came after the site was ordered to make good on a $411 payout to the reporter and recreational poker player. He said in his blog post, "The company reversed a $411 cashout after I won $11 over a few weeks," wrote Mehaffey. "Customer service told me that I only gave 'minimal action' and wanted me to explain myself. This was a player retention trick used by old offshore sites to push players back to the tables when cashing out entire balances.
"I paid about $273 in rake and turned my $400 cash deposit over about 15 times. Apparently, that is minimal action to WSOP.com.
Mehaffey further said in his blog that he was contemplating informing Nevada gaming regulators. He added that he would not be lodging a formal complaint but, rather, a policy recommendation.
That response, according to Mehaffey, is a "dubious legal threat" and is indicative of the "thuggery" employed by the site and the WSOP executive. He argues that the tactics demonstrate how the WSOP is prepared to threaten an individual in public in the midst of a dispute.
I have a feeling that this story hasn't yet had its final chapter written.

Are you sure that your ancestor is the Sarah SMITH convicted at the Old Bailey?
Well, Sarah who married George SMITH is clearly NOT the lass who was tried at the Old Bailey.
Are you descended from George SMITH or from Thomas WEAVERS?
I think a Thomas George, son of a Thomas and Sarah WEAVERS was born 28 Oct 1833 and baptised C of E 12 January 1834 by Rev Richard HILL. Thomas and Sarah were of Castlereagh St, Sydney. He a carter.
ADD so you are looking at Sydney, September 1833 and earlier for a Mrs Sarah SMITH. but as to when and where she was married to Mr Smith ?
I just wanted to apologize had to log off quick last night, storm approaching.
I have that death cert. for Sarah Weavers, and that is what I am trying to match up.
If you check the dates and years in the colony, place of birth, it matches up with Sarah Smith who arrived on the Broxbornebury.
I have a copy of her TOL dated 1825, this also matches up, states birth Hertfordshire, ship Broxbornebury, name Sarah Smith arrival 1814.
I am the gg granddaughter of a Charles Lewis and Mary Anne Smith, Mary Anne was the daughter of a Sarah Lake and William Smith, that's where it all gets so confusing?
A lot of people have Sarah Lake as the Sarah that married Thomas Weavers in 1833 after William died, but that can't be correct, Sarah Lake was convicted Devon assizes, and arrived 1808 on the Aeolus, I also spotted a document of convict deaths, Sarah Smith, Aeolus died Parramatta Hospital 1841.
My head goes into a spin every time I try to sort this out?
We have Sarah Blades, Sarah Smith, Broxbornebury, Sarah Lake, Aeolus.
I am trying to find out the Sarah that married Thomas Weavers, otherwise I can't establish a link to my gg grandmother Mary Ann Smith?
There is also an OBT for Sarah Weavers died 21/7/1876 Bathurst, widow of J Weavers Esq. beloved mother of the late Mrs W Mulhall Sen.
My turn this year for full house of visitors for festivities, so I may be tardy in replies too. I will look up some offline resources asap.

David Beckham's clash with son Brooklyn over tattoos
Amy Hunt
TAGS: must read
Brooklyn is the oldest of the Beckham clan, but it definitely doesn't mean he's any more likely to stick to the rules than his younger siblings.
In fact, the 18-year-old almost clashed with his famous father over his very first tattoo. David, who has many inkings himself, recently revealed the two almost came to blows when he decided he wanted to get one.
Speaking to James Cordon on The Late Late Show, the former footballer told how he'd always insisted that he wanted to be there to experience his eldest son getting his very first tattoo.
But Brooklyn almost went ahead without his father in tow – much to David's disapproval! David explained, "He was counting the days down because he was talking about a tattoo for a long time.
"Four days before he was with his girlfriend in Paris and one of my friends who was looking after him called me and said 'It's not come from me, but Brooklyn is in a tattoo shop with his girlfriend.'"
He continued to explain, "He always promised me and I said if you have your first tattoo I want to be there just to experience it. That was the deal."
But young Brooklyn – who is pursuing his own career in modelling – almost got caught in a lie to his dad. David said, "My friend said you should call him. So I Face-timed him and said 'What you doing mate?' and he said, 'We're just going for dinner'. And I said, 'Are you sure?'"
So Brooklyn was clearly forced to admit the truth! David continued, "He [Brooklyn] said 'Actually dad I am in a tattoo place thinking of getting something, and I'm with my girlfriend."
The tattoo…
"I said 'You are welcome to have it, but remember you promised me and I am your dad and I would feel really upset if you went through with it.'"
Clearly, Brooklyn later made sure to honour the promise to his dad, who revealed that he didn't actually go through with then.
A post shared by bb (@brooklynbeckham) on May 8, 2017 at 5:05am PDT
But the youngster did eventually get his tattoo with his Dad by his side. And Brooklyn now happily displays his new inking out and about at events.
Healed….. @_dr_woo_
A post shared by bb (@brooklynbeckham) on Apr 28, 2017 at 6:10am PDT
He even got the tattoo done by a friend of David's, captioning a photo of it with "Honoured to have my first tattoo done by dad's friend Mark Mahoney."
Would you let your kids get a tattoo? What do you think of Brooklyn's? Let us know in the comments, or on the Woman's Own Facebook page – we love to hear your thoughts.


If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I'm all about finding hidden gems in the Nordics and trying to promote sustainable tourism, especially in Norway as the fjords in the west and the Lofoten Islands in the north, are getting way too crowded.
One of the recommendations I always give people who'd like to explore Norway off the beaten track, is to explore Northern Norway (aside from Lofoten). A region stretching over 112,951 km² and making up about 35% of Norway's mainland, you can be sure to discover a hidden gem or two when traveling around this area.
One of the biggest (and least crowded) gems in itself is the region of Finnmark, stretching all the way to 71 degrees north. I was lucky to experience life in the outskirts of Europe when I did my Workaway stay in the small village of Gamvik, and still regret that I didn't went further east to explore the Norwegian-Russian border area around Kirkenes.
Therefore I was all the more excited when I was contacted by Prityazhenie, asking if I'd be interested in writing a post about the region and specifically about Pasvik Nature Reserve - a national park that actually stretches over areas of Norway, Russia and Finland, and apparently is a heaven for bird watchers!
*This post was written in collaboration with Prityazhenie, Moscow.
Pasvik Nature Reserve is situated in the South Varanger region of Finnmark in Norway, and stretches all the way over the border to the Pechengsky district around Nikel in Russia. It's in total 166km² big and was established as a joint project of Russia and Norway in the 1990s.
The reserve follows the border river Pasvikelva and only 19km² of it are actually situated in Norway, while the rest is located in Russia.
The adjoining Vätsäri Wilderness Area near Inari in Finland on the other side of the Norwegian border, together with Pasvik Nature Reserve, shapes the so-called Pasvik–Inari Trilateral Park - a nature reserve that stretches over 3 countries.
The Pasvik Nature Reserve isn't just special because of its border-crossing location, though. The interculturality of the place is also reflected in the flora and fauna of the reserve as Pasvik is regarded as the meeting point of both, western and eastern vegetation, with the taiga (or forest tundra) meeting the marshlands of the Arctic tundra.
Thus, it's a place of interest for scientists and nature enthusiasts alike - not least because of the over 230 species of birds that have been sighted in the area.
One of the best places to watch birds in the area is the small island of Varlama, situated right in the middle of the border river Pasvikelva and thus, right in the middle of the border zone. Visiting the island is usually off limits for both, Norwegians as well as Russians, but the island was opened for a short period of time this autumn in order to celebrate the birds of the nature reserve.
The festival "Birds of Pasvik" was hosted for the first time this year, on the occasion of celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Pasvik Nature Reserve, and gave students of the local community college in Pasvik, as well as scientists and teachers from Russia the opportunity to experience the border in a whole new way.
Festival attendants had to go through customs control and then board a small boat to get a lift to the island - and even the Norwegian chief inspector of customs control was invited and attended the event.
The festival had only 50 attendees in total, but considering the size of the island and its location in the border zone, a bigger festival wouldn't have been possible. As if the birds had known the cause of the event, though, attendees counted 25 bird species in total.
Originally, Pasvik Nature Reserve was established as an area to protect birds and is a direct result of joint Norwegian–Russian relationships and environmental efforts, supported by the local mining company Nornickel.
Festival attendees of both countries are very happy with the outcome of "Birds of Pasvik" and hope that the festival will be hosted again in the future.
I know, I said visiting the island of Varlama is pretty much impossible when there isn't a bird festival going on - BUT, that doesn't mean you can't visit the nature reserve at all.
The easiest way to make your way into the area is by flying into Kirkenes and renting a car there. You could, of course, also combine a visit to Pasvik with a cruise along the Norwegian shore on board of the Hurtigruten, as Kirkenes is the end point of the northbound cruise (and, respectively, the starting point of the southbound one).
There are 4 villages in the area close to Pasvik Nature Reserve on the Norwegian side: Svanvik, Skogfoss, Vaggatem and Nyrud. When it comes to finding a base for your nature adventure in Pasvik, though, Svanvik seems to be your best bet!
You can stay at Svanhovd Conference Centre and from there, venture out to explore Svanhovd Botanical Garden, Øvre Pasvik National Park Centre, Varanger Museum, or Height 96 (Høyde 96) - an observation tower that was once used by the military and now hosts a small cafe in the summer.
Apparently you can not only watch birds and even bears from the tower, but also see as far as Nikel at the other side of the border!
Fore more information on visiting Pasvik Nature Reserve, you should have a look at the website of Visit Kirkenes.
Would you be up for a wilderness vacation in Finnmark?

In his novel Grenko morje [Bitter Sea] (2002) and in the collection of short stories Južni veter [Southern Wind] (2006), Marjan Tomšič presented Alexandrianism as a state of being torn between sacrifice and pleasure. Representations of Alexandrianism as a phenomenon which was supposed to cause the downfall of women are present on numerous levels: in the title, in the scheme of characters, in the narratological categories, in themes and motifs, in the imagery, in the language and in the speech of the characters.
In the collective memory, the images of aleksandrinke (at home in Slovenia, the emigrants to Alexandria, Egypt were named after their presumed final destination) were often the same as those of wet nurses, although only approximately a third of all the emigrants actually were wet nurses (Škrlj 2009: 164). In the shaping of the collective memory of the phenomenon of Alexandrianism, mother's milk became a symbol of mother's love and the withdrawal of milk on the literal, but mostly on the symbolic level meant the abandoning of a child. For this reason, aleksandrinke were often stigmatized as bad mothers, and at the same time as victims of economic and social conditions. However, images of aleksandrinke as victims were marginal and became more widespread only upon the publication of Aleksandrinke by Dorica Makuc (1993). In this work, the aleksandrinke were finally given a voice, even though much of the book is dedicated to the role of the Catholic Church and to the recognition of the nuns who were working as missionaries in Egypt.
Consequently, modern, nonscientific discourse about aleksandrinke often turned into rhetoric about victims and into the wish for erecting monuments. Representations of Alexandrinianism as a phenomenon which was supposed to cause the downfall of women are present in Marjan Tomšič's novel Grenko morje [Bitter Sea] (2002) and his collection of short stories Južni veter [Southern Wind] (2006) on numerous levels: in the title, in the cast of characters, in the narratological categories, the themes and motifs, the imagery, the language and the speech of the characters.
In his novel, Tomšič presented Alexandrianism as a state of being torn between sacrifice and pleas- ure on various levels. He is the first writer in Slovenian literature who concentrated on this phenomenon in two lengthy works. In Bitter Sea, in contrast to the long silence of the actual migrants, the aleksandrinke finally speak, despite the fact that they are trapped in their relationships with men and children at all times. Most of them are depicted either as victims of corrupted Muslim and Eastern European men or as sexual beings who only follow their instincts. By stressing their illfated life stories, the writer glori- fied the role of the Catholic Church as the only institution which tended to the moral integrity of the Alexandrians. Tomšič's representations of Alexandrianism are not consistent with the findings of historical, ethnographic, and sociological research; however, they express the author's personal point of view regarding this phenomenon, which is a perfectly legitimate modus operandi for authors in literature. However, by stressing the painstaking study of the sources, Tomšič himself – deliberately or not – created the opinion that his book was a mirror image of reality, and at the same time he perhaps did not even realize his own entrapment in the often collective fantasies and phantasms about womanhood. In this way, he gained many casual readers on his side who were only drawn to the "true" stories, and furthermore, he also re-opened the never-healed family wounds of many a descendant of the aleksan- drinke; wounds that created made due to the stigmatization of the aleksandrinke as women who were incapable of controlling their sexuality or who used their sexuality to their own advantage. The reception of Tomšič's representations of Alexandrianism testifies to the power and the effect which a literary text has on its readers. This reveals that literature through subtle manipulation is still an important factor in the process of the forming of the collective memory, especially if literary science and criticism fail to reveal it as fiction.
