Last week I read a lot more of Yaqui Delgado but I'm not quite done yet. I'll keep working on that this week. I did get to book talk it to 7th and 8th graders and they liked the title alone...of course. We were hit with some sickness in our house last week plus it was the week before break so that's about all of the reading I got in last week!
This week it's finally spring break! I'm planning on finishing Yaqui Delgado and Here We Are. I also have Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson to read and I'd love to read it over break. I also have some reading to do for class and I really hope I make time to get that done this week otherwise I'll be mad at myself!

(Shrinkwrap is cracked a bit at the opening. Cover has a cut corner.)
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Win for LGBTQ: Court rejects Trump's bid to stop transgender military recruits
Published Dec 23, 2017, 12:08 pm IST
Updated Dec 23, 2017, 12:08 pm IST
Four federal judges around the country have issued injunctions blocking Trump's ban on transgender people from the military.
In an August memorandum, Trump gave the military until March 2018 to revert to a policy prohibiting openly transgender individuals from joining the military and authorizing their discharge. (Photo: File)
Washington: A federal appeals court in Washington on Friday rejected a bid by President Donald Trump's administration to prevent the US military from accepting transgender recruits starting January 1, the second court to issue such a ruling this week.
Four federal judges around the country have issued injunctions blocking Trump's ban on transgender people from the military, including one that was also handed down on Friday. The administration has appealed the previous three rulings.
In a six-page order, the three-judge-panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the administration had "not shown a strong likelihood that they will succeed on the merits of their challenge" to a district court's order blocking the ban.
On Thursday the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals said it was denying the administration's request while the appeal proceeds.
The two courts' actions could prompt the administration to ask the conservative-majority US Supreme Court to intervene.
Also on Friday, a federal trial court in Riverside, California, blocked the ban while the case proceeds, making it the fourth to do so, after similar rulings in Baltimore, Seattle and Washington D C.
US District Judge Jesus Bernal said without the injunction the plaintiffs, including current and aspiring service members, would suffer irreparable harm. "There is nothing any court can do to remedy a government-sent message that some citizens are not worthy of the military uniform simply because of their gender," he added.
The administration had argued that the January 1 deadline for accepting transgender recruits was problematic because tens of thousands of personnel would have to be trained on the medical standards needed to process transgender applicants, and the military was not ready for that.
The Obama administration had set a deadline of July 1, 2017, to begin accepting transgender recruits, but Trump's defense secretary, James Mattis, postponed that date to Jan. 1.
In an August memorandum, Trump gave the military until March 2018 to revert to a policy prohibiting openly transgender individuals from joining the military and authorizing their discharge. The memo also halted the use of government funds for sex-reassignment surgery for active-duty personnel.

We are pleased to offer this fantastic program again this season which combines both on and off ice training.
Skaters can continue to enhance their on-ice skills in this program, and our off-ice program offers dance instruction for figure skaters. The goal is to expand technical and artistic abilities in a variety of dance styles, while developing stamina and strength. The focus is on body alignment, rotation, artistic movements, posture, gracefulness, musicality and rhythm. Our convenient daytime program hours will appeal to those skaters wishing to take advantage of daily off-peak training hours.
Please note dance partners may be available for lessons during this program. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please speak with your coach.
More details about this program coming soon!
All STARSkate levels. We are pleased to offer an off-ice jump class on Saturdays. Off-ice jump training is very important in developing proper technique and is highly recommended by our coaching staff.
All STARSkate levels. Skaters are free to do all types of skating on open sessions (skills, dance and freeskate).

Q: Feature Labels Disappear at Lower Zoom Levels, I want to force them to always appear What controls whether or not a feature label will display? I would like to force the feature labels to display regardless of zoom level and relative distance to another feature.  There is some magic happening behind the scenes that makes the labels disappear as zoom level decreases (panning out).  Is there a way to override this?

I thought the declutter option could be set to false, but that didn't do it either:

Sacrifice, Serve and Save
His Grace Mar Thoma Dionysius
H.H. Baselios Marthoma Didimos I
WELCOME TO ST.STEPHEN'S COLLEGE,PATHANAPURAM
The college is affiliated to the University of Kerala and was upgraded in 1978 St. Stephen's College was founded in 1964 after the name of St. Stephen, the first martyr of Christianity. The college was the fulfilment of a long cherished desire of its founder, His Grace The Most Rev. Mar Thoma Dionysius. The college was formally declared open by His Holiness Mar Baselios Augen of the East on 8th July 1964. In 1968 the College was shifted to its present site, in the serene village of Maloor, 6 kms away from Pathanapuram.
Our College is named after St. Stephen (1st century), one of the first seven ordained Deacons and the first Martyr of Christianity. His biography and an elaborate apologia by him before Jewish council are recorded in the Book of Acts, chapter 7 (Bible). Though by birth a Hellenistic diaspora Jew, he was brought up by his mother as a true Christian. Justifying the meaning of his name (Stephen=Crown) he was truly a 'crown' of the Church. He was a mirror image of Christ in every sense and was a man full of faith, wisdom and of the Holy Spirit. He taught in the Synagogue of the Libertines. He was accused of blasphemy before the Jewish council and was then stoned to death and while dying, he prayed for the pardon of his accusers. We should be proud of having St. Stephen as our Patron Saint. We should imbibe from him the message of sacrifice, forgiveness and commitment and try to be crowns of the society.
A Word about our Founder
The life of His Grace Mar Thoma Dionysius is a source of inspiration for all of us in the family of Mount Tabor. His Grace was a pioneer in the educational field of Kerala. More than five decades back, His Grace laid the foundation for a Religo-Educational Centre at Pathanapuram at a beautiful hillock which he christened as 'Mount Tabor'. His Grace was a student of Christ Church College in the Oxford University during 1937-39. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, former President of India, was one of his best friends there. Inspired by the noble traditions of western culture and civilization, His Grace wanted the Mount Tabor to be the fountainhead of progress for the people around. He was consecrated as Metropolitan of Niranam Diocese of the Orthodox Church in 1940 and continued in the same ecclesiastical post for 32 years till his demise on 3rd December 1972. Besides being an ecclesiastical episcopal leader, he was also a versatile social leader, philanthropist, humanist and educationalist. The valuable services rendered by Mount Tabor educational institutions, hospitals and orphanages in different parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu testify the commitment of His Grace for the cause of education and social welfare in the backward and under developed areas.
To equip the youngsters to face the challenges of life, by creatively responding to changing environments; to become useful and responsible members of society, by becoming adequately proficient in different branches of learning; to imbibe a spirit of cooperation, uprightness and empathy and readiness to respect others; and to become aware of their social and moral responsibilities.
To provide quality education in the concerned areas of learning, by arranging suitable educational environment, where learning becomes a joyful experience. To encourage creative thinking in students, which would inspire experimentation, research and discovery leading to excellence in learning. To provide for growth of students as mature personalities, by developing academic, social and physical skills, through playing leadership roles; and participation in campus activities and community building programmes

Everyone knows someone they would describe as "detail-oriented," "super picky," and so on. I'm that guy!
I grew up in a hardware store that made window shades and screens from scratch, cut glass and mixed paint, well before the days of computers. I've literally been in the building materials industry since age six.
Years later, my parents' business changed to flooring. This led to a career in the flooring industry, with a strong focus on its technical aspects. After college and a year of law school, I found that inspecting homes is far more gratifying than endless hours writing legal documents and something I am truly passionate about. I'm one of those people who walks into a restaurant and (in the back of my mind) will notice if the crown moulding has been installed upside down. I'm just like that. Now, I can bring that level of detail recognition to you, my client.
"I'm a perfectionist by nature. Our inspections exceed industry standards in many ways, and our goal is that they will exceed your expectations as well.

Global data center traffic is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 23 percent from 2013 through 2018, which will account for nearly 8.6 zettabytes (or 8.6 trillion gigabytes) of data traversing data centers around the world, according to Cisco's Global Cloud Index. By this estimation, the world's data center traffic will have tripled in less than six years' time, due primarily to cloud's growth within the market.
While traditional data center traffic is projected to grow 8 percent annually, its share of the market will inevitably fall each year as cloud's traffic soars at a compound annual growth rate of 32 percent (see the following chart and table).
Despite initial concerns regarding security and integration with existing IT, cloud adoption has skyrocketed since 2013. Cloud services have become prevalent, in part, due to their ability to handle greater traffic loads than traditional data centers, while offering support through virtualization, standardization, automation and service delivery.
Of the three "as-a-Service" cloud computing models--including Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service--Cisco projected that SaaS will surpass IaaS and increase nearly 20 percent by 2018.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Sees D2C Play as a Key League Initiative
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Sees D2C Play as a Key League Initiative By Ken Kerschbaumer, Editorial Director
Thursday, October 21, 2021 - 10:37 am
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver laid out a vision for league production and distribution at the SportsBusiness Journal's World Congress of Sports that will see the league engage with fans in new ways and, most importantly, on new devices and services.
Probably the biggest issue for us right now is we are a sport that's heavily on cable which has had enormous amount of disconnects over the last decade, he said. Something like 20 percent fewer homes receive cable, but it's much worse than that and is closer to something like 30% fewer viewers because many people are just using broadcast or cable connection to get broadband.
Part of that transition will also require a change in how events are produced as the goal will be to offer more personalization something that has been lacking to date due to the functionality limits on cable set-top boxes.
High definition has changed everything but other than that, it's still essentially a standard broadcast, says Silver. And part of the limitation was of course technology. It wasn't that the great broadcasters and distributors out there didn't want to change it, but they were locked in. And I think as we now move to more of a direct to consumer model what will come with that is personalization and customization.
Part of the urgency is because fans in the coveted 18-34 demo are especially disengaged from relying on a cable set-top box to get their content. Instead, they are leaning into streaming services.
You could argue that the bundle is just being recreated through these streaming services, he said. But putting that aside, I think at least for now, clearly the bundle is broken.
What is the solution? Silver said that as the NBA moves into the direct to consumer market, they would very much like to have their digital rights.
My long-term view is that we need to be in the direct to consumer business, he said. Exactly how it manifests itself I'm not sure and it may be that in certain cases we're part of multi-sport offerings. In other cases, it may be an NBA standalone [service] as we have now with our League Pass product.
It seems pretty clear that's the direction and I think that's what our fans are going to demand, says Silver. They want deeper, richer, more personalized content, and we have to respond to the market.
The great news for everybody, he added, is that people of all ages are devoting more time than ever to watching a screen.
They're watching streaming services and whatever they can watch on their phone, he said. We're a little bit caught in the switches right now and we'll work through that with our partners. And I think that where we end up will be a much better place. But we're going to have to work through that transition.
Helping in those personalization efforts will be the use of smartphones and other devices that offer new ways to tell stories.
We're learning how to produce events in a very different way, much less expensively, much more intimately, says Silver. What we'll see now in the sports industry is people rethinking how they can create some incredible content. In some cases, it's using iPhones or smartphones so intimacy can come through. There's a huge desire and demand for deeper content from our players and from the activities around the league. I think it's going to take us in a whole new place, especially as we move to more, to a direct to consumer relationship.
Silver also discussed sports gambling and its ability to also drive fan engagement. The biggest issue is that without federal oversight of sports gambling anyone looking to get serious about it on a national level quickly will find themselves dealing with dozens of entities.
Roughly 30 states have some form of legalized sports betting and if you are a content creator provider like we are you're dealing with 30 different jurisdictions which is a bit of a trap sometimes, he said. You can have somewhat of a race to the bottom where no jurisdiction wants to be overly restricted or too heavily regulated because then people go elsewhere. You see that a little bit in DC, we're its more regulated than in Virginia. So, I do think there should be national framework here. I don't think it's on the top of anybody's agenda in Congress right now, but I think we would be better off in a few years to legalize sports betting.
He points to how European soccer leagues which have made the transition from betting parlors to online gambling which offers safeguards against irregularities and corruption.
Online people have to identify themselves and they're using credit cards, he says. And just like with insider trading, computers are highly sophisticated and if they're detecting irregular activity the flags go off and they can tell leagues or other governing bodies. There's a lot of bad that could happen from this but, on balance, you can't turn the clock back. I think we're a lot better off with a regulated, transparent framework.
All of the efforts around personalization, gambling, and next-gen services are focused on one thing: making sure NBA fans are more connected than ever.
[All the leagues] need to focus on this in our own way but we really need to find ways to make sure that coming generations of fans aren't just fantasy fans or fans looking at highlights or what our players are doing off the court, he said. We want them to make an appointment to say there is a game on tonight at nine o'clock and I want to be part of that experience.

20 million holidaymakers travel with TUI every year. The tourism group is represented in over 100 holiday destinations. TUI has a longstanding and cooperative relationship with the holiday destinations and host countries. TUI would now like to highlight this partnership. To this end, the Group is christening its new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the names of destinations in the holiday regions. TUI Airline's aircraft are thus becoming ambassadors for these regions.
The Canary Island of Tenerife is one of the most important holiday regions for TUI guests from all over Europe. This is why the island has now given its name to the first of 72 new aircraft that have been ordered. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 of TUI fly Benelux with the registration OO-MAX, was christened "Tenerife Alegria" today at Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur Reina Sofía Airport.
The aircraft's Godmother is Michelle Alonso Morales, a 24-year-old swimmer born in Tenerife. The two-time Paralympic, World and European champion christened the aircraft with water from a stream of the Teide, Spain's highest mountain. Besides the Godmother, Jose Domingo Regalado Gonzalez, Mayor of Granadilla de Abona, and Gunther Hofman, Managing Director of TUI fly Benelux, also signed the christening certificate. Canary Islands political officials were present at the ceremony, as well as representatives of tourism associations, and the Spanish airport operator AENA, TUI's hotel partner in Tenerife and local media.
Compared to other machines of this size previously operated by TUI fly, the 737 MAX is distinguished by a 20 percent lower fuel consumption and thus 20 percent lower CO2 emissions. Additionally, the noise level is 40 percent lower and also contributes to the Group's sustainability targets. The TUI Group has set itself the goal of becoming Europe's lowest-emission airline by 2020.

In Dense Cities Like Boston, Coronavirus Epidemics Last Longer, Northeastern Study Finds
Carey GoldbergTwitter
Downtown Crossing is the epicenter of Boston's social, cultural and commercial history. Since its heyday, it's seen a number of highs and lows. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
An analysis by Northeastern University researchers and colleagues finds that in crowded cities — like Boston — coronavirus epidemics not only grow bigger, they also tend to last longer.
The paper, based on data from Italy and China, looks at how quickly an epidemic peaks depending on how crowded a location is.
"In urban areas, we tend to see long, broad epidemics — for example, Boston," says lead co-author Samuel Scarpino from the Network Science Institute at Northeastern. "And in comparatively more suburban or rural areas we tend to see sharp, quick, burst-y epidemics."
Scarpino says it's key for Massachusetts to have uniform rules across the state, because movement from one area to another — say, from a town where restaurants are closed to one where they're open — can help spread the virus. Here are some edited excerpts of our conversation, beginning with how he sums up the research just out in the journal Nature Medicine:
Scarpino: What we report in the paper is that the structure of communities affects both the height and the duration of COVID-19 epidemics.
Carey Goldberg: So more dense areas will have not just more cases, but a more prolonged course?
Right. In urban areas, we're likely to have larger outbreaks — in terms of total number, even in terms of percentage of the population — and they will be much longer, lasting weeks and weeks or months, as we've seen in Boston, New York City, London and many places around the world.
However, in rural areas, or areas that have population structures that are much more tightly knit — as opposed to a looser collection of households in neighborhoods, as we have spread out across Boston — you get sharp, intense outbreaks. They can be overwhelming in terms of the resources available for caring for patients, and quite dramatic in terms of their effects on the population.
Think about the outbreak in rural Maine that was sparked by a super-spreading event at a wedding, and how it quickly swept through the population.
Why do these insights about community structure and its effect on transmission matter?
In many rural areas that are at risk of these intense outbreaks, there's much lower health care coverage and often, especially in the United States, a lot more complacency around mask-wearing and physical distancing. These areas are largely protected because they're isolated. However, if cases show up — as we've seen in places like rural Maine — the outbreaks can be quite severe and rapid.
Also, in the more dense areas, you're going to have cases that move around throughout the population, throughout the different neighborhoods of the city. You're going to have outbreaks go quiet in some areas, and then become louder in other areas.
And this process can be very, very prolonged, and can make the types of intervention measures that you need to deploy either quite severe or quite complicated, because they have to be very specifically tailored to what's happening at the really local level within the larger cities.
So what does this mean for policy?
Well, in related work we show that having policies that are different across a city can lead people to move out of their neighborhoods, to go to parks or to go to restaurants with different dining restrictions, or to go to venues with different limits on capacity. And that interacts with the structure of the city to spread the outbreak much more rapidly, kind of accelerating the pace and tempo of cases.
So that really suggests that because the outbreak is going to be so long-lasting, you really either need to focus on driving it completely out or you need to have policies that will protect all of the places with lower rates of cases while intervening in a targeted way in the places with much higher rates of cases.
So what you don't want to do is put in tougher measures in hot-spots, because then you're just going to drive people out to other places where they're going to spread it even more.
Exactly. In the state of Massachusetts, where we have the governor relaxing measures in a fairly extreme fashion in some areas and not in other areas, you are likely to have a situation where you're just moving the infection around and putting other communities at risk.
So having a more intermediate level of control that's more uniformly distributed across space is much better epidemiologically.
But that's not what the state is doing.
The state in many ways is really doing almost the opposite of what our paper suggests in terms of the ways in which you need to focus on controlling COVID-19, and also related work that shows this sort of patchwork of different policies really creates quite a bit of risk.
It seems incredibly important to have hyper-local information, because in the structure you describe, the spread happens at the level of households or neighborhoods, and then you have just a bit of crossover to other places, and that's how it just keeps going.
That is the implication of our work and many other studies that show that COVID-19, from an epidemiological perspective, is an amalgamation of local transmission that's happening in households, in restaurants, in occasional longer-distance transmission that moves it into new areas. So you need to have really hyper-localized information around where the cases are occurring and to find out where the cases are coming from.
And that, unfortunately, is one of the things that we're still not getting clear guidance on from the state: Where are the cases coming from? So that we can understand how we need to intervene.
Without that data, we really aren't armed with the right kinds of information to both stop the spread and to try and implement measures that will maximally control COVID-19 while having the least possible effects on our economic health, mental health and societal health.

Home > Opinion > Baillie Gifford on Mars
Baillie Gifford on Mars
What links Edinburgh with Mars? Answer: Baillie Gifford, the big Scottish investment management fund. Baillie Gifford was founded in 1907 and made its initial pile out of rubber in colonial Malaya. These days Baillie Gifford is a major investor in Elon Musk, the US billionaire behind SpaceX rockets and Tesla electric cars. In fact, Baillie Gifford owns around a fifth of Tesla, making it that company's fourth biggest share-holder, with a stake worth circa $4bn.
South African-born Musk made his initial fortune from PayPal. A restless soul, he became obsessed with building re-useable satellite launchers for Nasa, as a prelude to his long-term goal of establishing a human colony on Mars. That might be enough of a career for any entrepreneur, but Musk is also obsessed with electric cars and to give him his due the threat from Tesla products has forced the entire global car industry to switch away from the internal combustion engine.
There's one, wee problem: Mr Musk's various enterprises don't make profits. Tesla operations posted a record loss of £523 million in the first three months of 2018, thanks to delays in mass producing its Model 3 car. Indeed Tesla has never made a profit since it went public back in 2010. So why is Baillie Gifford so committed to the wayward genius of Elon Musk? Because investors are betting that someday he will hit the jackpot and dominate the global automotive market on earth (and, who knows, Mars). In ordinary parlance, Baillie Gifford is gambling big time.
Fortunately, there are enough such gamblers to have boosted Tesla shares into orbit. They are currently circling $350 a pop. Ballie Gifford may not be making cash but the book value of their Tesla holdings has soared. But there's a problem. Tesla may have pioneered electric cars but the rest of the industry is catching up. Some are betting that Tesla will never return its investment. As a result, Tesla shares are being shored wholesale; i.e. speculators are betting on a share price collapse. This has prompted the irascible Mr Musk to announce he is taking Tesla private. Alas, he tweeted this bombshell without discussing its merits with shareholders.
This has provoked a rare public rebuke from the normally reticent Baillie Gifford. James Anderson, one of the senior partners, is quoted as saying:
"We are very supportive [of Mr Musk], but we would like peace and execution at this stage." Anderson went on: "It would be good to just concentrate on the core task." In other words, Musk should stick to the day job. On the other hand, Musk is talking about taking Tesla private at $420 a share, which would make Baillie Gifford a handsome profit. For those of you confused as to how a loss-making firm can be worth that amount of money, you don't understand capitalism.
GROWTH RATES AGAIN
Politicians are ill-advised to pounce on early publication of economic growth and employment figures, as the raw data is always subject to later revision. There is much egg on Unionist faces following this week's publication of revised growth numbers for Scotland. Instead of lagging, Scotland actually grew faster than the UK in the year till the end of March. Back in April, referring to the earlier, uncorrected data, David Mundell, the Scottish Secretary, ranted that he was "increasingly concerning that a significant gap persists between Scotland's economy and the rest of the UK" and that the SNP Government should use its powers "to close this gap". Presumably our Man in the Cabinet will issue a suitable apology – not.
INFLATION WARS
Should we measure inflation using the old Retail Price Index (RPI) or the newer Consumer Price Index (CPI) favoured by the Tory Government? Both use a select basket of goods to track price changes. But CPI leaves out the costs of your home – so rises in mortgage payments and rents are deliberately ignored. As a result, RPI is higher. So linking pensions, welfare payments and wage increases to RPI costs more. Which explains the Government's preference for CPI. Hence also Chris Graying, the UK Transport Secretary, demanding that rail wage increases be set by CPI instead of RPI.
Grayling justifies his preference for CPI by saying even the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, thinks RPI is "unfit for purpose". True Carney did use those words but there's more to it than that. The two indices are calculated using different mathematic techniques as well as different baskets of goods. CPI is in fact more statistically reliable – which is why Carney says its "better" than RPI. But he also pointed out that there is a third and better index called CPIH which – crucially – includes housing costs. Carney implied it was CPIH we should be using, not the politically-motivated CPI. Even a Martian can understand that.
Edinburgh Book Festival
By George Kerevan
Dougie Blackwood says:
The difference between RPI and CPI are really quite significant but we, the consumers of goods, services and pensions are being ripped off both ways. When it suits pensions are increased by CPI but did I hear right that rail fares are increased by RPI? I haven't researched it but I suspect there is a PHD to be written about the various double standards that are used to fleece the public.
And the interest rates for repaying student loans are calculated using the higher RPI rate. That's handy.
'Looking forward already to the first Interplanetary Book Festival on Mars. Top-billers Gordon Brown, Alistair Moffat and John Lister-Kaye will be flying Virgin business class from the A'Mhoine Spaceport in Sutherland.
Jamsie says:
Good point George!
Scotland as part of the U.K. and receiving support is keeping pace in one quarter with the rest of the country.
Hardly a ringing endorsement of SNP governance if that is what you are alluding to.
And certainly not a basis to impose a referendum on Indy upon a discerning electorate!

The gallery featured the works of aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau — "the Picasso of the North" — and various West Coast artists. There was talk of incorporating a chic wine bar.
'I did a lot of things wrong': Why artists turned against a small-town gallery owner in B.C. Back to video
But about a year and a half in, the gallery went bust and residents in this normally staid town are said to have become furious with Goring over unpaid debts and unaccounted-for paintings.
"Everyone was knocking on his door," said Dan McLeod, a local builder who helped construct the gallery. "People were chasing him all over the place."
It was a shit show of my own making
While some people wrote off their losses, others set lawyers on Goring, posting angry blogs and even calling police in a bizarre series of disputes that illustrates the sometimes-ugly underbelly of the art world.
Goring, who has since filed for bankruptcy and moved to Victoria where he works as a framer, told the National Post he always assumed he could "sell my way" out of his debts, which was a mistake.
"I did a lot of things wrong, lost what little money I had, and most of my friends," he said. "It was a shit show of my own making."
A groundbreaking 2016 study laid out in stark terms the challenges of operating an art gallery.
German economist Magnus Resch sent out a survey to gallery owners across the U.S., Britain and Germany. Of the 1,300 respondents, 55 per cent reported revenues of less than $200,000 and 30 per cent operated at a loss.
Goring, who had previously run a frame shop, chose an old Home Hardware location to open a gallery called Art Worx.
Goring turned to Ontario art wholesaler James White to supply him with a number of Morrisseau and other paintings. Under a consignment agreement, each time Goring sold one of White's paintings, he was to pay White the wholesale price before pocketing the rest.
When White learned in July 2014 the gallery was shutting, he went to B.C. to try to recover his paintings. Goring turned over 13, but 22 pieces — with a retail value of $221,000 — were unaccounted for.
"We have been friends for years, our families have stayed with each other and I believed we were close," White wrote to Goring after his visit. "That is why I have tried to believe in you and refused to accept that you could steal from me and create a story of lies."
"I have been sitting here, knowing that this moment would come and I have dreaded this more than anything in my life," Goring replied. He blamed sluggish sales, high overhead costs and unpaid taxes. And then he cut to the chase: "I have no money and I also have none of your art."
White asserted in a December 2015 statement of claim that Goring had either "stolen most of the missing paintings" or had "traded away (White's) paintings in exchange for services or for money received which was not reported."
James White, an art wholesaler in Ontario, says he consigned paintings to Marlowe which remain unaccounted for. Seen here: 'Spirits Journeys' by Norval Morrisseau.
Goring never filed a response and in an April 10 decision, Ontario Superior Court Judge Joseph Fragomeni found that Goring had committed civil fraud and breach of trust and awarded White $170,000 in general damages and $10,000 in punitive damages. The judge also gave Goring 90 days to account for each of the missing paintings.
Goring told the Post he was unaware of the lawsuit and assumed he had resolved the dispute when he let White put a lien on his mother's estate. Nevertheless, he promised to "own my responsibility in this."
Aside from one or two occasions when something might have "slipped through," he denied selling other people's art without paying them. Asked where White's missing paintings ended up, Goring said he needed time to go through his books as he was battling depression at the time.
I have been sitting here, knowing that this moment would come and I have dreaded this more than anything in my life
"My entire dream, my marriage, my life was just going — I was a spent man, truly," he said.
As word of the Ontario judgment spread, many of Goring's detractors on Vancouver Island began to speak out.
Liz Virgin said Goring owed her and her husband "several tens of thousands" of dollars in rent for use of the gallery space. They brought in a lawyer to tell Goring he had to pay up or move out.
"It was not fun," she said, adding they never got their money.
McLeod, the builder, said he and several tradespeople who helped construct the gallery were also out tens of thousands of dollars.
He said Goring tried to pay off some of that debt by giving him three paintings. However, when he learned those paintings — plus two more he bought off Goring — belonged to White and that White hadn't been paid for them, he immediately worked to settle things with White by paying for two more of his paintings.
"(Goring) is a likeable guy, a good schmoozer," but not always forthcoming, McLeod said, adding that several tradesmen received paintings in place of money owed.
Goring said he felt "intimidated" by McLeod and so he gave him a handful of paintings. He said he couldn't recall gifting paintings to anyone else.
Seen here is 'Father Spirits' by Norval Morrisseau, which James White also says he consigned to Goring.
"As a rule, it's not in my — no, I don't usually, I'm in the art business. I don't usually give art away," he said.
But Allan Dunfield said that's what happened to him. The Qualicum Beach artist said he met Goring over a decade ago and credited Goring for elevating his profile.
But Dunfield said their relationship became strained when Goring owed him several thousand dollars for about half a dozen paintings. Dunfield said Goring gifted him a Morrisseau painting, but he later learned the painting belonged to White and turned it over.
Goring said he has no recollection of this. "As far as I knew we were even," he said.
Port Alberni artist Brad Piatka, who died from cancer in 2016, had a long-simmering feud with Goring, said Piatka's friend, Rob Longeuay.
Brad is waiting for his $1000.... Just pay up and return his paintings!
One day in 2014, the two visited Goring to check on Piatka's paintings and discovered about five pieces were unaccounted for. After pressing for answers, Goring said a couple were "on loan," Longeuay said.
Concerned that Goring wasn't paying Piatka properly, they decided to return and gather up all of Piatka's remaining work.
Longeuay followed up with a stern Facebook message in late 2014. "Brad is waiting for his $1000…. Just pay up and return his paintings!"
Days later, he filed a complaint with the RCMP. Despite assuring the officer that the $1,000 debt would be paid, Goring never paid up, Longeuay said.
Goring said he remembers a friend of Piatka's "coming into the gallery and threatening me with bodily harm." He confirmed that some of Piatka's art was used temporarily in show homes, but that they were returned. He insisted the $1,000 debt was paid.
Another of the paintings in question is seen here: 'Seven Watching Spirits' by Norval Morrisseau.
Other artists cut their losses and moved on.
"People catch you by surprise and they aren't who they appear to be," said Jacqui Townsend, widow of the artist Bill Townsend. She said her husband was never paid for some sold paintings and for money he lent to Goring for back taxes.
In the end, they just wrote it off.
"The people he hurt — and he did hurt a lot — said it was not worth worrying about," she said.
Goring said Bill Townsend cut off their relationship before he could pay him back.
"He actually phoned me and told me he never wanted to talk to me again," he said.
Not everyone was willing to let things go.
The people he hurt — and he did hurt a lot — said it was not worth worrying about
Unbeknownst to him, Goring became the subject of two blog posts last year by artist Sea Dean. Titled "Theft, Stolen Art," the posts described how she had consigned two pieces of art to Goring only to discover that Goring "did a disappearing act one night, along with all the art in his gallery."
She asked anyone who knew Goring's whereabouts to contact her. "I would be happy to offer a reward."
Goring said he isn't that hard to find.
"A lot of these people just like the drama," he said, adding he gave artists ample opportunity to retrieve their work.
Goring said he's not trying to play the victim, but he can't help but feel "let down" by the arts community.
"The moment everything went bad it was just like, everybody just — I was left there alone with no support after I supported all these people," he said. "I know this is going to sound crazy, but I'm an honest guy."

Q: TypeScript AuthContext cant take undefined when on Routes I'm using TypeScript and I need to create a route with the user info and sign with google from firebase (I plan to switch to Redux as an exercise later).
Happens that when typing the user, if its logged in = User, if its not = undefined, but Router won't take an undefined as a child...
import { createContext, useState } from "react";
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";

import { auth, firebase } from "./services/firebase";

import { Home } from "./pages/Home";
import { NewRoom } from "./pages/NewRoom";

type User = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  avatar: string;
};

type AuthContextType = {
  user: User | undefined;
  signInWithGoogle: () => Promise<void>;
};

export const AuthContext = createContext({} as AuthContextType);

function App() {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User>();

  async function signInWithGoogle() {
    // provider is whos giving the log in - google
    const provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();

    const result = await auth.signInWithPopup(provider);

    if (result.user) {
      // username, photoLocation, uniqueID
      const { displayName, photoURL, uid } = result.user;

      // what if theres no data?
      if (!displayName || !photoURL)
        throw new Error("Missing information from Google Account");

      // set user information
      setUser({
        id: uid,
        name: displayName,
        avatar: photoURL,
      });
    }
  }

  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Routes>
        <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, signInWithGoogle }}>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="/room/new" element={<NewRoom />} />
        </AuthContext.Provider>
      </Routes>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

export default App;

A: Whenever you want to render nothing, use null instead of undefined. If User is not not logged in, you can redirect to an unauthorized page using <Navigate to="/signin" /> which is a valid child for router (just a suggestion).

A: Sorry, it was late and past my bed time, it was a simple fix:
before:
`return (

  <Routes>
    <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, signInWithGoogle }}>
      <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
      <Route path="/room/new" element={<NewRoom />} />
    </AuthContext.Provider>
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

after:
``
return (
<BrowserRouter>
  <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, signInWithGoogle }}>
    <Routes>
      <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
      <Route path="/room/new" element={<NewRoom />} />
    </Routes>
  </AuthContext.Provider>
</BrowserRouter>

);
``
Just move AuthContext out of Routes as it is not a Route, obviously

Havoc, DLC for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare comes about three weeks out on PC and PlayStation Network. Havoc is available for download since last week on the Xbox One. New in the dlc is the Exo Zombies game mode.
The exact date of Havoc will be available is February 26 , so made Sledgehammer Games known. Thus the dlc four weeks after he appears to download on Xbox Live. Besides the Exo Zombies game mode there are some new elements in the dlc.
The Havoc-dlc further adds two new weapons and four new playgrounds for the multiplayer mode to. Depending on whether you have a Season Pass buy the dlc or loose, you get the energy weapon AE4 or slightly modified version of it, the AE4 Widowmaker. Exo Zombies is incidentally another energy weapon exclusive to that mode, the CELL-3 cauterizer called.
Havoc offers players four new maps: Sideshow, Core, Drift and Urban. The DLC on Xbox costs 14.49 euros. It is obvious that the price on PC and PSN thus be in line.

Q: Options for storing huge tile map I am creating a pseudo-turn-based online strategy browser game where many people play in the same world over a long period(months). For this, I want to have a map of 64000x64000 tiles = 4 billion tiles. I need about 6-10 bytes of data per tile, making up a total of around 30GB of data for storing the map.
Each tile should have properties such as type(water, grass, desert, mountain), resource(wood, cows, gold) and playerBuilt(road, building)
The client will only ever need access to about 100x100 tiles at the same time.
I have handled the map on client side under control. The problem that I'm faced with is how to store, retrieve and modify information from this map on the server side.
Required functionality:

*

*Create, store, and modify 64000x64000 tilemap.

*Show 100x100 part of the map to the client.

*Make modifications on the map such as roads, buildings, and depleted resources.

What I have considered so far:

*

*Procedural generation: Procedurally generating whichever part of the map is needed on the fly. Making sure that given the same seed, it always generates the same map. The main problem I have with this is that there will be modifications to the map during the game. Note: Less than 1% of the tiles would be modified during the game and it could be possible to store modifications with coordinates in an outside array. Loading them on top of the procedural generation.

*Databases: Generating the map at the start of the game and storing it in a database. A friend advised me against this for such a huge tile map and told me that I'd probably want to store it in memory instead.

*Keeping it all in memory on the server side: Keeping it in memory in a data structure. Seems like a nice way to do it if the map was smaller but for 4 billion tiles that would be a lot to keep in memory.

I was planning on using java+mysql for back-end for this project. I'm still in early phases and open to change technology if needed.
My question is: Which of the three approaches above seem viable and/or are there other ways to do it which I have not considered?

A: Depends on:

*

*how much RAM you got (or player/users got)

*Is most of the tile map empty (sparse) ? Opposite is dense.

*Is there a default terrain (like empty or water ?)

If sparse, use a hashmap instead of a 2D array.
If dense it will be much more challenging and you may need to use a database or some special data structures + cache.
You may detect hot zones and keep them in memory for a while, dead zones (no players there, no activity ...) can be stored in the database and read on demand.
You may also load data in several passes: first just the terrain, then other objects... each layer could be stored in a different way. For example the terrain could be perlin noise generated + another layer which can be modified.

Explainer on the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) shared spectrum in the 3.5 GHz "innovation band"
By Bob Brown and Tim Greene
First off, CBRS is an acronym for Citizens Broadband Radio Service, and the upshot for IT pros is that it could enable enterprises to build their own private 4G/5G networks and result in improved 4G/5G offerings from service providers. Here's a primer on CBRS—because you are going to want to know about this.
CB, as in CB radio?
No, good buddy, this has nothing to do with the Citizens' Band radio service used by truckers for two-way voice communications and that lives in the 27MHz band in the US. CBRS lives in the 3.5GHz band.
What is CBRS then?
CBRS is a band of radio-frequency spectrum from 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz that the Federal Communications Commission has designated for sharing among three tiers of users: incumbent users, priority licensees and generally authorized, which is lightly licensed.

The incumbents are those who have historically held exclusive rights to the band namely satellite ground stations and the US Navy. Priority licenses will be auctioned off June 25 and will allow licensees to use the band in particular US counties so long as they don't interfere with the incumbents and tolerate possible interference from the incumbents. Generally authorized access gives users the right to use the band as long as they don't interfere with the other two categories of users.
Who's guarding against interference?
A network of sensors—the Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC)—detects use of CBRS. Devices that want to use the CBRS band first put in requests to a cloud-based Spectrum Access System (SAS) to reserve unused channels in a particular geographic area. If channels are free, SAS can grant the requests. When devices that have been granted permission to use channels are done with them, the channels are put back into the pool that the SAS can draw from to grant further requests.
How did the 3.5 GHz band become available?
The freeing up of the 3550-3700 MHz band stems from the 2010 National Broadband Plan issued by the FCC, which set out to make 500 MHz of additional spectrum available for new mobile uses. The FCC zeroed in on the 3.5 GHz band (which has dubbed the "innovation band") in rules issued in April of 2015, then reaffirmed those rules about a year later. In the meantime, it has been working out the details of implementation.
Who's going to use this spectrum?
Carriers look forward to using it to extend coverage and capacity of their 4G LTE and 5G networks. As we know from their efforts to horn in on the 5 GHz band used for Wi-Fi via a technology called LTE-U, carriers seek access to more spectrum. But cable operators looking to get into wireless also want in on this action, as will assorted managed service providers, which could include entities such as building-management companies that need to communicate wirelessly with on-site devices. What's more, enterprises could use the spectrum to set up their own 4G and 5G networks with which they could connect their IoT devices including factory robots. The services work both indoors and outdoors.
What applications will use CBRS?
Service providers are expected to use CBRS to replace last-mile fiber access to customer sites, deliver fixed-wireless services, and even point-to-multipoint connections. Enterprises and managed service providers could exploit it for IoT connectivity and even for Wi-Fi replacement or supplementary services. LTE services could hit 1Gbps indoors and maybe five or 10 times that for outdoor uses with line-of-sight access. 5G could be 10 times faster than LTE.
How expensive is it?
CBRS backers say the economics of this technology are much better than those of distributed-antenna systems, and they contend the speed and consistency of service will be much better than Wi-Fi. CBRS supporters also say imaginative new services will be enabled by the availability of more cheap spectrum. Federated Wireless has introduced a 4G/5G service being sold through AWS, and Microsoft Azure has sold it as connectivity to the cloud.
Where will hardware, software, and services come from to support all this?
Here's one clue: Almost 40 vendors, from the Big 4 carriers to service-provider equipment vendors Ericsson and Nokia to enterprise-equipment companies like Cisco and Ruckus to chipmakers like Intel and Qualcomm have banded together in the CBRS Alliance. Samsung already belongs to the CBRS Alliance, and look for smartphone and computer makers to join, too, once carriers make their requirements clear.
