A Week After Ethiopia's State Of Emergency, Gonder Starts A General Anti-Gov't Strike
By DeBirhan
A week after the TPLF (EPRDF) led Ethiopian regime declared a State of Emergency across Ethiopia, few days after the specifics of it such as banning any form of anti-gov't protest, were made public, the Gonder city, Northern Ethiopia has launched a general strike against the government today.
There have been three general/stay away strikes against the regime so far in Gonder city.
The general strike includes the closures of all private businesses and services including transportation. The city streets remain deserted and government employees are affected due to the protest forcing the closure of government services as a result.
Gonder city has one of the largest and oldest universities in Ethiopia enrolling students from across the country. In addition, large investments such as Dashen Brewery and Amhara region's main offices are located in the city of Gonder.
The historical city of Gonder also attracts many tourists every year, which has decreased by 70 percent since the beginning of the protests in July, according to Amhara region's television.
The stay away protest will stay on until the end of the week.
Last week Bahir Dar, the capital city of the Amhara region, held a successful stay away strike for five days.
Under the six month long State of Emergency, the Command Post, which is now ruling the country, can take any measure against businesses closing their businesses as a form of protest or anyone taking part in any anti-government protest.
The curfews and the declaration of the SoE does not seem to have worked in Ethiopia as the protests have spread and increased in momentum especially in the Amhara regional state.
Later in the day, some shops have been opening and transport started operating due to pressure by the government.

Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS) Can Make the Dollars and Sense
Jose Robinson
Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS) beat analyst estimates for its first-quarter report even though the growth wasn't as impressive as it was a year ago.
Exact Sciences' revenue for the first quarter increased 16 % year-over-year to $ 402.1 million, far exceeding Wall Street's preliminary estimate of $ 388.5 million. Around 60% of the company's revenue comes from cancer screening services such as the highly popular Cologuard colorectal cancer test and Biomatrica products. More than $ 240 million were generated by this segment in the first quarter, which increased 10% compared to last year.
Specifically, sales of precision oncology products topped $129 million in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 1% (revenue includes sales of Oncotype tests used to optimize treatment solutions for breast, colon, and prostate cancer). In addition to the revenue from COVID-19 testing, the company generated $ 32.3 million in the first quarter.
Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS) also announced a year-on-year decline in losses during the first quarter. Thus, the loss in the most recent period was $31.2 million, or $ 0.18 per share, compared to $134.6 million, or $ 0.91 per share in the first quarter of 2020.
Cathy Wood, an investor, widely regarded as one of the top investors worldwide, acquired Exact Sciences shares for her ARK Innovation ETF. As Katie Wood's opinion is very authoritative for many investors, we can expect interest in Exact Sciences securities to increase in the coming months.
According to Exact Sciences, revenue in 2021 is expected to range from $1.69 billion to $1.737 billion. Approximately $ 1.125 billion to $ 1.15 billion is expected to come from screening and $ 515 million to $ 525 million from point oncology tools, as well as $ 50 million to $60 million from testing for COVID-19.
Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS) shares were trading up 0.48% in aftermarket trading at $105. During the last session, shares of EXAS closed at $104.45, falling -3.25% or $3.51. They ranged between $104.265 and $110.73 throughout the day. The number of shares exchanged was 1.68 million, higher than the average daily share volume of the company over the last 50 days of 1.48 million and its year-to-date volume of 1.66 million. Since the beginning of the year, the stock has enjoyed an increase of 26.13%, and it has lost -20.73% in the past week. The stock has fallen by -15.14% over the past six months and by -27.73% over the past three months. Therefore, the stock has returned -21.13% this year.

Elizabeth is an only child, new to town, and that can be very lonely. So when she meets Jennifer, a girl from her school - who claims to be a witch no less - she is eager to become her apprentice. Over the course of the next several months, the girls meet on Saturdays for their weekly rituals and read volumes on witchcraft in hopes of developing a flying ointment. But they do not find the best magic in Jennifer's black cauldron.

Today I ran running grep on the output of hg log, but only to realize that I wanted a couple of lines before and after the line which matched as well.
I am sure this is common knowledge, but I did not know how to do it, so am sharing it in the hope that someone finds it useful.
Running the above showed me changeset number, comments etc for all the mercurial changesets committed by the specified user.
Haven't actually tried this, but I believe --context=4 should give you the same results. Just a shortcut if you want equal amount of context around the matched line.
You are right, that too worked.

The Art of Conversation: How To Get The Most Out Of Conferences; Events; Business And Social Situations.
Getting some profitable and practical tips in an entertaining and informative way about how to get the most out of 'networking and mingling' is the perfect early keynote for any business or social situation, conference or event.
The truth is, most people have some level of anxiety in business and social situations, not just at formal events, but also sometimes in simple 1 – 1 situations, or even in those speculative exploratory meetings with potential leads or contacts. It is quite bizarre that everyone is expected to be naturally good at 'mixing'. Rarely does anyone really address this in a practical, entertaining and blunt style.

In this keynote Professor Ian Cooper will share his golden rules of asking, his 'Technology of Questions' and shows his audience how to develop a mindset that's always ready to 'Just Ask'. Being able to ask for things and get the answer you want is almost a 'Super Power'!


Give you stores visibility to upcoming campaigns or pushes; the types of elements they'll be receiving, along with expected quantities of the elements. You should be able to control when they see this information by an in-store date or status of the campaign.
Assortment and marketing content is done at store level. Store portal should control the list of signs a store has visibility to by only showing them visual elements that are specific to their store profile. A good store portal should also limit the quantities of the signs a store can reorder based on their profile. More specifically if the system knows a store only has 3 sign holders in the kids department, they can't order 14 signs for those sign holders.
Controlling your store portal allows you to route reorders of visual elements to the printers that actually produced it. This can really help your organization move towards a more decentralized printing model where multiple printers can each produce a selection of signs in a kit. Basic store orders that fit within an auto approve criteria can be processed without home office intervention.
Give your district and regional managers the ability to view what campaigns should currently be active at their stores to ensure compliance. They should also have access to reporting that breaks down what elements are frequently being reordered by their stores, and the reason why. Opportunity to update store profiles often results from understanding reorders.
With a store portal tied to your sign distribution system, your stores no longer have to rely on just the description of the sign on the packing slips. They can pull a visual of the sign that shows them exactly what it looks like along with instructions on how to install the sign.
An overlooked benefit that comes out of store portal is that stores get better visibility to the status of their orders; in particular if it's on backorder or has been declined. The right store portal will also have integration with FedEx, UPS & USPS to provide a real time shipment status on where approved orders are. This reduces the volume of emails and phone calls from stores to the in-store marketing team regarding statuses of orders.
If you're interested in learning more about how our store portal helps retailers stream line their in-store campaign execution, drop us a line.

Philip Stevens continues his preview of the World Cup by talking to key players in the coverage.
Brazil 2014 will be the fourth FIFA World Cup for Host Broadcast Services (HBS) and the fifth for Francis Tellier (pictured below), CEO of HBS Group of companies. In 1998, he was head of operations at TVRS'98 in France, but that was the last World Cup where the host broadcasting operation was handled by a local host broadcaster. As such, Tellier was director general of the last Host Broadcaster of an era – and with his appointment to HBS in 1999, he was the first of a new one.
"Today HBS is FIFA's dedicated broadcaster. And 'dedicated' means the teams live every working day and sleep every night invariably dreaming of FIFA deliverables somewhere around the world," states Tellier.
Having said that, the 2014 FIFA World Cup Production Plan is largely based on the highly successful South Africa tournament coverage. However, several upgrades will be implemented, including increasing the number of match cameras from 29 to 34, providing one additional Clips Compilation Channels to the Multi-Feeds, and a new fully edited 26 minute programme – the FIFA Preview Show.
In May 2013, EVS Broadcast Equipment was appointed to provide technology solutions for live production, centralised broadcast media server and file-based media sharing systems, and new multimedia distribution infrastructure in Brazil.
EVS new LSMConnect, MultiReview, and C-Cast agent tools lie at the heart of the live production workflow along with XT3 live production servers. A combination of EVS XT3 servers and the IPDirector production asset management suite drive all the 'emotion' highlights packages, while the compilation of all the best clips will be managed using the new MultiReview solutions.
Within the IBC, more than 100 EVS IPDirector suites will be used to manage live incoming feeds and access to the FIFA Media Asset Exchange (FIFA MAX) server containing match feeds, clips, highlights, city profiles and other relevant data. In all 12 XT3 will handle 4500 hours of storage that will be accommodated, based on EVS XStore SAN. The IPDirector suites will also be utilised for the live logging of events. Access is provided for the multilateral production team for further editing and programming as well as to Media Rights Licensees (MRLs) to browse, access and download the content.
Electronic News Gathering (ENG) operations at the various venues will be facilitated based on 32 EVS Xedio Dispatcher for rough cut editing, logging and transfer from local ingest points to the IBC.
The EBIF (Extended Basic International Feed) room within the IBC will be based on XT3 servers, LSM Remote and new Connect platform, IPEdit for realtime timeline editing and EPSIO FX for on air graphic insertions.
Thirty six Adobe Premiere stations, along with the EVS IPLink plugin panel will be used to create final edits of World Cup updates, promos, behind the scenes footage and multimedia packages. All the stations have direct access to IPDirector database containing all ingested clips. "The complete set-up will enable FIFA and Rights Holders to produce many hours of added-value content for their global audiences," declares Doneux.
For the first time, HBS will be providing new media distribution capabilities to broadcasters. This process relies on EVS' C-Cast multimedia distribution platform. C-Cast technology will connect the live production infrastructures to a central cloud-based platform, aggregating live streams, multi-angle clips, stats, and social network feeds. These will be distributed to affiliate broadcasters to offer extended multimedia consumption to their viewers, as a second screen application. Two of those broadcasters are HRT from Croatia and ZDF in Germany.
"We started planning for our coverage in Brazil in early February, this year," states Drago Ćosić (pictured) from HRT (Hrvatska radiotelevizija, the Croatian public service broadcaster). Ćosić is HRT's head of project for the event and a reporter with 30 years' experience in live sports broadcasts.
He continues, "HRT will not have its own studio in Brazil, but our presenters will be working from our main broadcasting centre in Zagreb. However, we will have a permanent link from the Croatian national football team camp to ensure the very latest news is available for the many football fans in Croatia." Although the presenters will be working from the Zagreb studio, HRT will take a team of 24 to Brazil.
German public-service broadcasters ARD and ZDF will broadcast the World Cup in full for the first time since 1998.
Gruschwitz says the broadcasters will employ their own technical equipment installed at the IBC and at the matches involving the German team. "We plan to use between three and five cameras in unilateral flash positions or in the mix zone," he adds.
When it comes to personalising further the coverage, ZDF will utilise both pool fed ISOs and Clips Compilation Channel content – both provided by HBS. The Compilation Channel give MRLs access to angles which are not part of the main match feed – and are available in near realtime. All editing will be carried out at the broadcaster's unit at the IBC using Avid and EVS systems.

Gray TV And Raycom Must Divest Stations In Nine Markets In Order To Gain DOJ Approval For Merger

The pending $3.6 billion merger of Gray TV and Raycom, one of the two mega-deals poised to transform the local TV sector, is facing final regulatory conditions before it can proceed.
Antitrust regulators at the Department of Justice today ordered the companies to divest stations in nine markets in order to avoid a scenario where the combined company owns more than two of the CBS, ABC, NBC or Fox affiliates in any single market. Without shedding stations, the company would have more than two of the Big Four stations in Knoxville, TN; Toledo, Ohio; Waco-Temple-Bryan, Texas; Tallahassee, FL-Thomasville, GA; Augusta, GA; Odessa-Midland, Texas; Panama City, FL; Albany, GA; and Dothan, AL.
Securing such an advantage, the DOJ said, would drive up retransmission fees charged to pay-TV providers and, in turn, prices for consumers. In announcing the deal last summer, Gray said it would voluntarily divest stations in the same nine markets identified by the DOJ in order to stay under the FCC's ownership rules. Under those rules, no single owner can control stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households.
Nexstar last week announced plans to take over Tribune Media in a $4.1 billion transaction that will catapult it ahead of Sinclair Broadcast Group as the No. 1 owner of local stations in the U.S.
Raycom Media
"Without the required divestitures, Gray's merger with Raycom threatens serious competitive harm to cable subscribers and small businesses," said Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. "I am pleased, however, that we have been able to reach a speedy and complete resolution of the Division's concerns, thanks in part to the parties' commitment to engage in good faith settlement talks from the outset of our investigation."
The station divestitures must be handled so that the stations "will be used by the buyers as part of a viable, ongoing commercial television broadcasting business," the DOJ said. That stipulation was ignored by Sinclair when it moved to close a deal to buy Tribune. Instead of giving its blessing, which most observers expected, the FCC flagged several of those divestitures as questionable and the transaction was soon abandoned.
Atlanta-based Gray owns 92 television stations in 56 local markets, of which 83 are Big Four affiliates. Montgomery, AL-based Raycom owns 51 television stations in 43 local markets, of which 45 are Big Four affiliates.

Twerk and Selfie Added to Dictionary
By Brian Anthony Hernandez 2013-08-28 01:21:57 UTC
The word "twerk" — a sexually-charged dance that Miley Cyrus recently displayed at the MTV Video Music Awards — has been added to Oxford Dictionaries Online. Popular tech- and social-media words, including selfie, digital detox, Bitcoin, BYOD, emoji, FOMO, geek chic, hackerspace, phablet, srsly and TL;DR, have also been added.
Listed as a verb, twerk joins other pop cultural words that Oxford has introduced to its print or online editions in recent years, such as lolz, totes, OMG, LOL, mankini, jeggings and sexting.
See also: Miley Cyrus Has 2 Songs in iTunes Top 10 Despite VMAs Backlash
The dictionary's official definition of twerk is: "Dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance."
As example sentences, Oxford Dictionaries lists "Just wait till they catch their daughters twerking to this song" and "Twerk it girl, work it girl." The term originated in the 1990s, according to the new entry.
"There are many theories about the origin of this word, and since it arose in oral use, we may never know the answer for sure," Oxford Dictionaries' Katherine Connor Martin told the AP. "We think the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to 'work it.' The 't' could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch."
Here are definitions of other words, acronyms and phrases added to Oxford Dictionaries Online — not to be confused with the elder, more official publication, the Oxford English Dictionary:
Selfie: "A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."
Digital detox: "A period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices such as smartphones or computers, regarded as an opportunity to reduce stress or focus on social interaction in the physical world."
Bitcoin: "A digital currency in which transactions can be performed without the need for a central bank."
BYOD: "Abbreviation of 'bring your own device': the practice of allowing the employees of an organization to use their own computers, smartphones, or other devices for work purposes."
Emoji: "A small digital image or icon used to express an idea or emotion in electronic communication."
FOMO: "Fear of missing out: Anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on a social media website."
Click and collect: "A shopping facility whereby a customer can buy or order goods from a store's website and collect them from a local branch."
Geek chic: "The dress, appearance, and culture associated with computing and technology enthusiasts, regarded as stylish or fashionable."
Hackerspace: "A place in which people with an interest in computing or technology can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge."
Internet of things: "A proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data."
MOOC: "A course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a very large number of people."
Phablet: "A smartphone having a screen which is intermediate in size between that of a typical smartphone and a tablet computer."
Srsly: "Short for 'seriously.'"
TL;DR: "'Too long didn't read': Used as a dismissive response to a lengthy online post, or to introduce a summary of a lengthy post."
Still confused about twerking? You can watch Cyrus' infamous demonstration of the dance move — or try this (NSFW) video featuring classic twerking on the streets of San Francisco.

9. Wanz sang his favorite line from 'Thrift Shop.'
When Mashable asked Wanz, who spits lyrics in the "Thrift Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" hit, what his favorite line from that song is, he sang it. "I wear my grandad's clothes," he sang, before Mashable's Brian Anthony Hernandez finished the lyric with him. "I look incredible."
10. Danity Kane's Shannon forgot to wear a shirt.

« The worst (best?) pop video ever? | Main | Orbital2008 (That's how we're tagging it) »
Turns out the Chinese invented Breakdance
Shaolin Monks was great. A mixture between Martial arts prowess, energetic dance and stagemanship; it was a Martial arts circus. Definitely something to see (I could add the nauseating: for the whole family). There were spectacular shows of well-practiced moves, the circus-element of brick-breaking and balancing on sharp spikes seemed to appeal to the younger audience and there were moments when the cartwheels and rolling on stage held a striking resemblance to Breakdance.
The highlight of the show was a double-act by two very young boys - they looked like they were under 7 years old, but their size might have been misleading. They effortlessly sparred, skipped and hopped through complicated Kung-Fu moves with the sort of ease that usually follows years and years of tireless practice. Watching them was like an optical illusion that made the audience gasp time and time again; it was like watching miniature adults.
We did notice one thing - the audience was completely different from the last Sadler's Wells production we went to see. Yes, lots of families, but also people who looked like they'd never set foot in a theatre before. Many people arriving really late. Or talking during the performance. I don't care if it's your first time when you're 48 years old, but you could at least observe some polite common sense rules on how to conduct yourself.
Perhaps that's harsh. But seriously. Granted, not everyone was taken to their first concert/opera/theatre performance at under 5 years old, taught to sit still and focus, taught to figure out the plot of an opera sung in another language from looking through the programme booklet, but I do idly wonder whether common sense about certain things has to be taught too. Is common sense something you can, or have to teach?
It seems that many Finns still value opera, classical music and the theatre in the sort of way I was used to. In that you don't have to be wealthy, or in any kind of particular social class to take yourself (and your kids) off to see the latest production of The Magic Flute. At least that's the impression I get from the delightful film "Pelikaanimies" (Pelican Man), a film we watched yesterday. I bought it on our Finnish trip this summer, but we hadn't got around to watching it until now. Pelican Man is a simple, but delightful fantasy aimed at children, but entirely watchable by adults. One day a pelican decides to turn himself into a human by landing on a beach and putting on human clothes. The film explores human perception, what it's like to be an adult and what it's like to be a little boy whose parents have just divorced. There is lovely Finnish scenery and a beautiful feel to the whole film.

Rewilding Britain's report : connectivity and biological corridors.
by blogs at woodlands, 28 December, 2020, 0 comments
Sadly, the number and range of various species in the U.K. is decreasing, biodiversity is falling. Our wildlife-rich areas are actually separated and fragmented, by tracts of intensively-farmed land, by motorways and roads, and the ever increasing spread of urban areas. The dispersion and isolation of wildlife areas makes it difficult for both plant and animal species to move. The ability to move around is ever more important as a result of climate change. Rainfall patterns and average temperatures in different regions are changing, extreme weather events are more common. For a species to stay in its 'comfort zone', it may need to move 'northwards' as climate change continues. According to a report released by Rewilding Britain, the speed at which species need to migrate in order to stay in their 'comfort zone' is approximately some 5km / year Read more...
Trees : in town and country
by Lewis, 4 December, 2020, 0 comments
During the last Ice Age, much of the UK was covered with a layer of ice up to kilometre deep, or by enormous glacial lakes. Certainly in northern parts, there was no vegetation as glaciers scraped their way across the landscape. So much water was locked up in the glaciers that sea levels dropped dramatically; we were connected to Europe by areas such as Doggerland. Details of the glaciation and its effect can be found on the BRITICE site. When the ice age came to an end some eleven thousand years ago, plants, animals and humans migrated back to the previously frozen and inhospitable land. Over time, large forests and woodland areas developed. In the North, boreal forest grew up - represented today by the remaining Caledonian Forest. Further south, there was the wildwood (as described by Rackham and others). The wildwood was probably a complex and tangled mixture of different trees, with many of the trees either dead or dying through the effects of wind, fire (lightning strikes) and flooding. It would have offered a vast variety of habitats and niches for plants, insects and mammals. Read more...
"The Scottish Uplands: how to revive a degraded landscape" a talk by Dr Helen Armstrong
by Angus, 14 November, 2020, 3 comments
Checking through my emails, I came across a link sent by a friend to one of the winter talks in the program offered by the Botanical Society of Scotland - specifically "The Scottish Uplands: how to revive a degraded landscape" by Dr Helen Armstrong. The talk was live-streamed but was also recorded and is available here. Dr Armstrong spent 24 years at the Nature Conservancy Council, the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, Scottish Natural Heritage and Forest Research carrying out research and advisory work. The following is an attempt to summarise some of the key features of her informative and enlightening talk. Read more...
Where did all the trees go ?
by Chris, 30 May, 2020, 0 comments
In terms of a 'head count' of tree species, Europe does not do well when compared to Asia or North America. There are approximately five hundred tree species scattered across Europe, whereas Asia and North America are home to some thousand species each. There is fossil evidence that tree species such as Liquadambar (Sweet Gums) and Liriodendron (Tulip tree) once lived here. So one might ask why did they disappear? The answer may be due a combination of glaciation and topography. During the late Pliocene period, the global climate cooled and massive glaciers began to extend across the Earth's surface. Glacial and interglacial periods followed in the Pleistocene or Quaternary Period; sometimes referred to as the Ice Age. As the glaciers moved relentlessly south, so plants (and animals) had to move Read more...
The lasting effect of Rhododendron ponticum in woodlands.
by Chris, 20 March, 2020, 1 comments
Atlantic oak woodland is often referred to as the Celtic Rainforest. It is characterised by lichen covered trees, together with a rich moss and liverwort flora. The environment is damp and humid, with streams and waterfalls contributing to this. These woodlands have evolved under the influence of the Gulf Stream, which helps keeps the area warm (and wet). The difficult access and rugged terrain (in some areas) has helped to preserve these woodlands, plus they have not proved suitable for agriculture or 'industrial forestry'. Consequently, in many areas, they have remained in their 'ancient state', going back to the last ice age. Their sessile oaks are very important for wildlife but as they are not always productive of good timber, they have often been left to grow to maturity. By the same token, Birch trees have relatively low timber value - which has been their salvation. Woodlands like this were more extensive in the past covering the Atlantic fringe of Western Europe from North West Scotland down to the South of Portugal. This type of woodland is rich in terms of biodiversity (primroses, violets, wild garlic, ferns and grasses) and some species are only to be found here and nowhere else in the world. Read more...
Trees for Christmas.

Each year, a variety of conifers are sold as Christmas trees, for example, the Norway Spruce Picea abies Silver Fir Abies alba Nordmann Fir Abies normanniana Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris and in North America Douglas Fir Pseudotuga menziesii and Balsam Fir Abies balsamea. Read more...
Iceland's missing woodland and forest.
by Lewis, 1 September, 2017, 2 comments
Some ten to fifteen million years ago, Iceland supported forests and woodlands of Redwoods (Sequoia), Magnolia and Sassafras. The presence of such species suggests that at this time the climate was warm and temperate. Later, in the Pliocene period, evidence from pollen studies, suggest that Pines, Larch, Birch and Alder had come to dominate; species that are associated with Boreal Forest - so the climate had cooled considerably. There then followed the glaciations of the Pleistocene (often simply referred to as the Ice Age) - a geological epoch which lasted from about 2,500,000 to 12,000 years ago. Glaciers marched across the surface of the Earth, but retreated in the warmer inter-glacial periods. Read more...
Have we moved into 'the human epoch' ?
by Lewis, 1 May, 2016, 4 comments
As a species, we humans have only been present on the Earth for a 'blink of the eye' in geological terms. The Earth is approximately some 4.6 billion years old. Geologists have divided up these years into a number of geological periods or epochs - from the Pre-cambrian (from the formation of the earth until about 540 million years ago) to the most recent - the Holocene, which started at the end of the last Ice Age - about 12,000 years ago. Modern Humans emerged out of Africa probably some 200,000 years ago, and since that time they have increased massively in number. At the end of the C18th , there were probably about one billion people; now there are over seven billion. We have changed the Earth in many ways. Read more...

Phil Rossoni is a commercial glider pilot who has always been interested in finding ways to share the experience of piloting an aircraft with a wide audience. I thought his enthusiasm (and directions and videos!) for lightweight gliding aircraft that can be made with museum visitors would be a great thing to share with ExhibiTricks readers.
What's the next best thing to soaring through the skies like birds? Its called Walkalong Gliding where a simple paper airplane seems to hover in perpetual motion on the edge of a piece of cardboard.
Walkalong Gliding works on the same principles of soaring flight used by all manner of flying creatures to effortlessly take to the skies. The best design for the indoor museum setting is the Tumblewing designed by John Collins aka "The Paper Airplane Guy".
Everybody gets to build and fly their own glider made from a 1"X4" strip of light newsprint. What's the goal? Keep it flying for at least 30 seconds, longer than the current world record for a tossed paper airplane! It's called the "30 second airborne club".
Like the first pioneers of flight had to learn, staying in the air for extended periods requires control of the paper airplane. What's the takeaway? Yes try this at home, come back and show everyone you've learned the right stuff!
To find out more about making lightweight gliding aircraft for yourself or with your museum visitors, check out Phil's book, Build and Pilot Your Own Walkalong Gliders and his list of Tumblewing Links.

The Five Best Events on the Culinary Calendar This Weekend
Amy Antonation August 3, 2018 5:54AM
Megenagna will be at Taste of Ethiopia. Danielle Lirette
Kick off Friday with food trucks, then move on to ful, flowers, Falling Rock and fish (okay, oysters) throughout the weekend. It's a fun food time in the Mile High City; here are the five best culinary events over the new few days, as well as more dates to put on your culinary calendar.
Mo' food trucks, mo' problems. This month, First Friday at the Art District on Santa Fe will be doing double duty as both an art and a food event. From 4 to 10 p.m. on Friday, August 3, Santa Fe Drive between 7th and 11th avenues will host the third installment of Truck Stop, the summer food truck rally that's been making its way to locations around town. The Budlong Hot Chicken, Cheese Please, Cirque Kitchen, Baba's Falafel and Holy Crepe are just a few of the trucks where you can get a bite in between perusing paintings, sculptures and other art installations up and down the strip. In addition, Denver's favorite hometown winery, Infinite Monkey Theorem, will be celebrating its tenth year in business at its original location in the 'hood, 931 West Fifth Avenue, with 10 percent off all bar tabs. Our advice is to get to there early; First Friday plus food and drinks galore equals big crowds and small parking.
There's a lot more to cooking with flowers than just garnishes.

An entire generation of Americans' first impression of Ethiopia was shaped in the mid-1980s, when images of starving children served as fodder for the five o'clock news and the dulcet tones of "We Are the World" was inescapable. That's a shame, because there's much more to the country; for example, it's one of just two African countries that was never colonized by Europeans. Get a glimpse of the fiercely independent and beautiful culture on Saturday, August 4, at the Taste of Ethiopia Festival. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Parkfield Lake Park, 555 East 53rd Avenue, will be filled with Ethiopian dance, music, crafts, food, coffee and fashion. The excellent Megenagna (our Best Ethiopian restaurant in 2015 and 2016) will be serving food at the event, so come hungry — for both food and culture. Details are on Taste of Ethiopia's Facebook page.
If your dinner guests are impressed by a blossom balancing on the edge of their entree, you can really blow their minds by incorporating flowers into the flavors of your food. Find out how at Mossflower's Cooking With Flowers workshop on Saturday, August 4, at the Grand Apartments, 1777 Chestnut Place. From 4 to 6 p.m., florist Gina Hemmings and chef Carly Silberman will teach you how to put together an entire meal utilizing the spicy, herby and, yes, floral flavor profiles of locally grown flowers. The menu boasts a rose drop cocktail, flower butter, calendula blossom paella, and olive oil cake with pressed blooms. Tickets are on sale at mossflower.net for $85; the price includes all materials, recipes and a bouquet of edible flowers to take home.
Ever tasted a beer and thought — perhaps out loud, if you've had a few drinks beforehand — "I can do better than that!?" New Belgium Brewing is taking you at your word. When the brewery's Sour Saison Blending Tour stops at Falling Rock Tap House, 1919 Blake Street, on Saturday, August 4, you'll have the chance to show your stuff by mixing saison and sour beer samples. If you're lucky, you'll come up with something balanced and delicious; if you're not, you lose your beer-geek cred until further notice. Compare your beery blend to the brewery's Sour Saison, which will be on sale at the bar. The fun runs from 7 to 10 p.m.; find out more on Falling Rock's Facebook page.
Start studying for National Oyster Day on August 5. There will be a test.
Linnea Covington
Why celebrate a holiday for a food many — if not most — Americans wouldn't deign to eat if their culinary credibility depended on it (and it does, gentle readers, it does)? Because oysters are delicious, boys and girls, and if you haven't tried them, you haven't really lived. Sunday, August 5, is National Oyster Day, and the perfect opportunity to give the slippery, briny (the uninitiated would say slimy, fishy) little creatures a fair shot without spending a ton of money. Fish N Beer, 3510 Larimer Street, will be selling the raw variety for just a dollar and grilled bivalves for two bucks. Jax Fish House locations will be even more ambitious, with three different oyster flights on special: raw, cooked and shooters. Find out details at jaxfishhouse.com, and after you've been converted to the aquatic oyster, brace yourself for the terrestrial kind — Rocky Mountain Oyster Day is coming up on October 8.
Keep reading for future food and drink events.

Q: Android java .contains() int in object list I connect to an url and read the entire page into a string and then split the string on comma's and store everything in a list with the following code:
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(params[0]);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(get);

bodyHtml = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()).replace("[", "").replace("]", "");
items = Arrays.asList(bodyHtml.split("\\s*,\\s*"));

I need to check if certain integers exist with .contains() in this list but the list itself is java.lang.object
How can I make the list an integer list and not an object list or how can I check for existing integers within the object list?

A: The statement bodyHtml.split("\\s*,\\s*") will return a String array. Subsequently, the statement Arrays.asList(bodyHtml.split("\\s*,\\s*")); will return a List<String>. You should therefore be able to assign the result to a List<String> :
List<String> items = Arrays.asList(bodyHtml.split("\\s*,\\s*"));.
You now have two options to search the list :

*

*If your searchKey does not necessarily have to be an Integer, you can search the List by passing a String to the contains method

*If your searchKey has to be an Integer, you can convert the search key to an String by using searchKey.toString() and pass it the to contains method.

That being said, this approach will only work when there is an exact match. If you want a partial match, List.contains is not the way to go. The quickest solution would be to iterate through the List<String> and call String.contains(searchKey) on each element in the list.

There are plenty of reasons you may be unhappy in your job. Horrible bosses tend to top the list, but boredom, burnout, and busywork that knows no bounds are also viable reasons. But, based on dozens of research done about this very thing, It's recorded that most times the problem is not the job but the person.
Let's say it's not any of the above, in fact, you can't pinpoint the source of your discontent on any one thing. You just know it's not the position for you, and you'd like very much to quit and find something else.
Here's the great thing about determining that it's not your job that's making you unhappy, it's you: You may be able to turn it around immediately!
You literally have a great idea and you shared it with your manager who seemed equally excited about the initiative. She promised to look into budget constraints, draw up a proposal based on your analysis and recommended direction. But you've since stopped because you used to bring it up frequently.
This is, no doubt, one of the most frustrating parts of working with others in an organization that has a lot of moving pieces. Irregardless of how head-banging it can feel to hope for change that no one else seems to care about making happen, it's not a genuine reason for being sad in your job.
Your awesome boss, cool colleagues, and manageable workload won't distract from the fact that you're unhappy because you hate the work. You can't blame the CEO because you've decided that working on a production team isn't your calling. If your long, hard look at your discontent leads you to conclude that you're in the wrong career, well then, at least you have next steps.
Take it as a positive that your ideas are heard because, you know, at a lot of organizations, that's far from the reality. If the day-to-day part of your job is going smoothly, and it's ultimately your impatience that's getting the best of you and perhaps ineffective goal-setting try to see if being patient and rewriting those ideas changes anything.
The feedback from your boss that the strategy you formulate for getting the company's product recognized internationally wasn't the best, and you've been tasked with revising it based on their notes. You really can't believe you put so much blood, sweat, tears into the ideas, only to be told it's not going to work.
It's not easy getting to a point in your job where you don't take criticism personally, but it's absolutely essential to your success. And if you're struggling with truculent feelings at work, have you stopped to consider that they emanate from your inclination to take everything not identified as praise as a hit at your character and competence? Try changing your mindset and see if it helps you move past the traumatic concerned.
However, if the reason it's not your job, it's simply you, because you're in the wrong industry, no amount of learning not to take it personally or reconfiguring goals and practicing patience is going to work.
In no circumstances, should you default to assuming it's your job that's the problem. When it comes to career growth and success, taking ownership is part of the foundation.

The East Hampton girls tennis team, which has rebuilt its roster year after year with a strong contingent of Pierson athletes, was rolling through its early-season schedule until Westhampton Beach came to town on Monday afternoon.
The Lady Hurricanes cruised to a victory in a battle between unbeaten opponents, winning 6-1 on the Lady Bonackers' home court. Rose Hayes, one of the top female players in New York State, who transferred to Westhampton Beach this year from Mercy, set the tone at number-one singles with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Becca Kupershmid.
Pierson sophomore Juliana Barahona has been playing second singles for East Hampton this season.
Pierson sophomore Juliana Barahona, who moved to Sag Harbor this year from Colombia, had a chance to win at second singles after winning the first set, 6-3. She dropped the second set to Brook Delprete, 7-6, however, and then lost a super tiebreaker, 10 points to four.
Pierson students Caroline Micallif and Katie Annicelli lost their matches at third and fourth singles, respectively, while Pierson's Chiara Bedini, who has been playing first doubles this season with Olivia Barris, dropped her match at first doubles.
East Hampton, which up until Monday was a perfect 5-0 on the season, won at third doubles with Sammi Schurr and Annelise Mendelman winning 6-3, 4-6, 10-6. Westhampton Beach improved to 5-0 atop the League VII standings and will host East Hampton in a rematch on October 2 to close out the regular season schedule.
The Lady Bonackers will host Southampton on Thursday, September 20, at 4 p.m. and William Floyd on Monday, also at 4 p.m.
The East Hampton girls tennis team gathers prior to its match against Westhampton Beach on Monday.

When Jesus walked the earth over 2000 years ago, it became evident very quickly that He came to change lives. With an ever-growing number of individuals touched by the Saviour, faith and hope grew within every heart who beheld Him. The same is true of us today. Though many have tried to convince the world otherwise, Jesus has never stopped desiring to touch and change lives for the better. Even in 2018, He has never stopped healing, delivering, saving and everything else the devil has succeeded in oppressing mankind with.
Today we find it difficult to muster up enough faith to receive even the things that God has clearly promised He would do for us. In the days of Jesus, we read on more than a few occasions where men and women believed and received, even though they had no promise on which to base their faith. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 6 had no clear promise of healing, but chose to believe anyway. The man who brought His son to the disciples and was denied, but then came to Jesus in Matthew 17 and was not denied. This Syrophoenician woman had no promise at all that Jesus would answer her cry for her daughter. She simply had a need and sought the deliverer. Even when it seemed Jesus was attempting to discourage her because she wasn't a Jew and cause her to walk away empty handed, she persisted in faith. This was what Jesus was desiring to see all along. He would afterward gladly move to heal her daughter.
Can we trust God even though we have no clear promise He will answer? The answer is an obvious yes! What gives us the right to believe God will move for us since we do not have a clear promise? It all has to do with His character; who He is! Once you understand God's character, that understanding will prompt you to trust that He will deliver, heal and set free. As much as a clear promise from God's word will drive us to Jesus to receive, this is not the only thing that will. In the Gospels, it was more evident that the Jesus' perceived willingness to deliver drove people to Him. It was and forever will be the love of God which moves Him toward us! You can have nothing except knowing Jesus loves you and that would be enough to know He will not leave you bound or oppressed when you call out on His wonderful name! Is it possible to receive things from God even though you personally have never been given the promise to receive? As much as that is true, it is also true that people do not receive from God even though God has promised they could. It is all a matter of faith.
You may be in a situation today where you have no clear promise that Jesus will touch you but so much desire to be delivered of your condition. Friend it is your faith in Jesus that moves Him to touch you. Although God has promised many wonderful promises, some people just cannot see a clear path to their own individual healing. God's character; who He is, is enough to place your faith in. He loves you. He wants to move on your behalf. Will you trust Him enough, although you do not have a chiseled in stone promise, to believe He will deliver? Not having a clear promise did not prevent them from receiving what they needed from God. Genuine faith is resistant to obstacles and persistent in the face of doubts.

Messier Monday: A Big, Blue, Bright Baby Cluster, M47
By esiegel on December 16, 2013.
"Do not look at stars as bright spots only. Try to take in the vastness of the universe." -Maria Mitchell
It's time again for Messier Monday, where we highlight the various wonderous deep-sky objects of the night, and show you how to find them against the expansive backdrop of stars. The (almost) full Moon is out tonight, polluting your night sky with as much light as a large-sized urban area, but that doesn't mean all of the 110 deep-sky objects that make up the Messier catalogue are off-limits!
Image credit: Mike Keith's delightful (a)periodic table of Messier objects!
While extended objects -- like planetary nebulae and galaxies -- may prove more of a challenge, collections of stars within our own galaxy and galactic neighborhood (like open star clusters and globular clusters) are perfect targets on a night like tonight, even with the severe light pollution brought on by the full Moon! While the Messier catalogue boasts 110 total objects, five of them were declared missing for a long time because of various minor errors.
In the case of today's object, Messier 47, there was a sign error in one of the coordinates he recorded that went unresolved until T.F. Morris found the correct object (and position) in 1959! Let there be no more confusion; here's how you can find this deep-sky wonder for yourself.
Image credit: me, using the free software Stellarium, via http://stellarium.org/.
Even with the full Moon out tonight, the great winter constellation of Orion is easy to spot, rising in the east at dusk and passive over the southern part of the horizon as the night goes on. Behind it, the brightest star in the night sky -- Sirius -- rises a little later, followed by other stars familiar to winter skywatchers. Well, if you can find Sirius and the somewhat dimmer Mirzam near it, they'll point your way to Messier 47.
Even in a light-polluted sky, the imaginary line from Mirzam to Sirius will have you running into another naked-eye star in short order: the fourth-magnitude Muliphein. If you continue on in a straight line the same distance again from Mirzam to Muliphein, you'll come to a place with a large number of stars at the limit of naked-eye vision; the imaginary line connecting the slightly more southerly bright pair Adhara and Wezen would meet there as well.
If you train your equipment on this region (at low magnification, for sure), this is what you're likely to see.
The naked eye stars HIP 36773 (in line with the Mirzam-Sirius-Muliphein triplet) and HIP 37379 (a little below it) bracket today's object -- Messier 47 -- very nicely. But this object stands out on its own, and was likely discovered independently back in 1654 before Messier rediscovered it in 1771, saying:
Cluster of stars, little distant from [Messier 46]; the stars are [brighter]; the middle of the cluster was compared with the same star, 2 Navis. The cluster contains no nebulosity.
While I could be convinced to tell you about the "sister" object of this one (Messier 46) next week, let's take a look inside this week's object first!
Image credit: Boris Štromar via the hungarian wikipedia; M46 on the left, M47 on the right.
While the brightest star in this cluster is just barely visible to the naked eye at magnitude +5.7, you're much more likely to notice that there appear to be a ton of bright, blue stars through binoculars or a telescope. That's because of a combination of two factors: the youth and the closeness of this cluster. Based on the stars that are still around, this cluster is dated at about 78 million years of age, and is one of the closest Messier objects at just 1,600 light-years distant!
Image credit: Jim Mazur's Astrophotography, via http://www.skyledge.net/.
Perhaps surprisingly, this is one of the most diffuse -- or low-density -- open clusters that we know of! Although it's only about 12 light-years in diameter, pretty typical for an open star cluster (and about the same angular size as the full Moon on the sky), there are only about 50 stars in there, somewhat surprising considering that these objects typically contain many hundreds or even thousands of stars!
Image credit: Donald P. Waid of http://www.waid-observatory.com/.
But not M47, which has maybe seven prominent blue stars, a couple of red giants, a larger number of somewhat less bright, less blue stars, and then a much larger number of dimmer stars that begins to blend in to the galactic background.
What could be happening here?
Quite simply, the dimmer stars are probably actually there, but incredibly difficult to tease out against the remainder of the galactic plane. Take a look at this deeper exposure to see what I mean.
Image credit: Maheder Hailesillasie of http://asn-astaro.blogspot.com/.
There's no evidence that this cluster is in the process of dissociating, nor that there's an absence of lower-mass stars. What happens -- and this is true for a great many open clusters in the galactic plane, which is where they tend to form -- is that it becomes very difficult to identify how stars are a part of the cluster, proper.
It's too bad, because these bright blue stars are quite the sight!
Image credit: (C) Copyright 2006 Paul Mayo, via http://campingunderstars.com/.
Despite Messier's assertion that there isn't any nebulosity, some images appear to have a little bit, which would be quite consistent with a star cluster of such a young age. You might legitimately be wondering if we could somehow see through that dust -- if it exists -- and whether there'd be a greater number of lower-mass, redder stars than we'd seen otherwise.
Well, that's what looking in the infrared can get you, and guess what we found?!
Image credit: 2MASS (Two Micron All-Sky Survey) / IPAC.
Although it's not yet proven that these stars are associated with the cluster and not the galactic background, there are, in fact, hundreds (and teetering on a thousand) stars in the vicinity of this cluster. Not bad for such a nearby object! That wraps up another Messier Monday, and including today, we've looked at the following objects:
