All the World's Her Stage
T.R. Witcher October 26, 2000 4:00AM
Lucy Walker, the 74-year-old founder of EDEN Theatrical Workshop, sits sipping her coffee with measured grace. At this breakfast banquet extolling the benefits of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, which apportions sales-tax money to arts and cultural organizations throughout the Denver metro area, arts enthusiasts offer skits, fancy slide presentations and self-aggrandizing announcements. But as the rest of the audience cheers and claps with appropriate gusto, Walker clutches her napkin in her lap with both hands.
Before the program began, one SCFD official had approached her about making a few statements regarding the arts in Denver - if there was time, of course. In response, Walker handed him a piece of paper. "This is my statement," she said. "You don't want me to speak." Her letter, addressed to the SCFD board of directors, protests that after 37 years in Denver, her theater group "has been declared worthy of only $2,100 out of a $30 million budget to operate for a period of one year."
Later, a presenter tells the enthusiastic audience that SCFD supports institutions as diverse as the Butterfly Pavilion, the Denver Art Museum, El Centro Su Teatro and, yes, Walker's EDEN. Maybe her organization is included because SCFD officials know Walker is mad at them; although she's hardly said a word to anyone, her dark face and cool gaze are conspicuous this morning. At the mention of Walker's name, people at her table turn to nod and smile. Walker doesn't smile back, though.
Her aloofness may not be an act, because Walker can't really hear what the speakers are saying. (She refuses to wear a hearing aid.) But then again, maybe it is an act. After all, the script Walker's followed for most of her life is essentially this: If she can't hear you, what you're saying is not important.
EDEN's office is a yellow house on Gilpin Street. For years, rehearsals have been held in the cramped living room, where costumes hang from the wall, spare furniture crowds against the corners and pictures of penguins are everywhere. A fluffy black-and-white cat named Twine, who responds only to the sobriquet "Cat," hangs out on the windowsill at the front of the house, near a fat grant application package addressed to the Anschutz Foundation. Walker is constantly working on grant proposals, trying to secure funds, trying to keep the show going. "Nobody works harder than me," she says, and she can't stop working. "Ain't nobody gonna give a job to a 73-year-old woman who's already eligible for retirement."
She's apparently chosen to ignore all the birthday cards in the room wishing her a happy 74th.
If Lucy Walker didn't work, she might as well be dead. She said so herself after she appeared with her daughter, Lynne, at an SCFD board meeting in Parker last month. Walker had gone to complain about funding; boardmembers responded with dry reminders about procedures and rules and paperwork, promised to have someone get with her to make sure she understood the requirements, and sent Walker on her way within five minutes.
The money - and the lack of money - is what bothers Walker. EDEN has received funds from SCFD every year since the organization was founded in 1990 after voters in six metro counties voted into existence the .01 percent sales tax for the arts. Walker's take of the tax totals $45,340, an average of $4,100 a year. But this year, for the fourth year in a row, her award was reduced, this time to $2,100, the lowest amount she's received since 1994. (The smallest grant Walker ever received was $750 in 1992; the largest, $9,000, was awarded in 1996.)
That same year, SCFD gave a generous $27,000 to Eulipions, another black theater organization, which received an average of more than $14,000 a year in SCFD funds from 1990 to 1997. And, among the smallest arts groups in Denver that received funding, the year 2000 average is $12,000.
"I don't expect them to care about me and give me what I think I deserve," says Walker. But at the very least, she'd like to get some respect for her famously unknown theater. EDEN, one of the city's only black theaters, has been around since 1963 and has staged more than forty major shows on shoestring budgets. If EDEN is not Denver's best theater group -- and it isn't -- it is probably the group with the most heart.
Walker is "really bent out of shape about the process," says SCFD spokeswoman Ellen Dumm. "It has gotten more technical over the years. She has not particularly liked that." There is more paperwork to fill out, a more exact accounting of funds demanded. SCFD requires that grant recipients turn in reports on how they spent the previous year's moneys before they can receive this year's take; EDEN has not done that.
Walker acknowledges that requirement, but she doesn't like having to spend so much time on administrative matters, or to prove, again and again, that EDEN is worthy of support. She would rather work on theater. "They don't dislike me, they don't like me," she says of funders in general. "I just don't do anything for them: 'If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.' Well, I don't scratch."
Nevertheless, the largely one-woman show that is EDEN carries on. The group celebrated its 37th anniversary recently at a well-attended banquet. And while money is in short supply, the theater has received financial support -- however limited -- from more than forty individuals and organizations, including many of Colorado's major corporations, foundations and banks.
Last year Walker received help with her grant applications from Regis University students. Directors of three arts organizations visited Mark Bruhn's literature and economics class to meet with students, who were then placed at these organizations' disposal. The first two directors gave formal presentations. Walker's was much more casual, and she won the kids over with her personality. "She's coy and clever," says Bruhn. "She's funny, humble, proud. She's this stunning mix. She's a real character." She was the oldest of the three, and the darkest of the three, in a class full of white students. Her differences attracted them to her.
The original city of Memphis was located on the west bank of the Nile River, just south of present-day Cairo. It was the capital of ancient Egypt more than 4,000 years ago. "It somehow seems my birth in Memphis, Tennessee, connects with my African descent," wrote Walker in a booklet commemorating EDEN's 25th anniversary, "although for artistic reasons, I identify with the tall, graceful Watusi."
Tall and graceful herself, Walker looks made for the theater, although the truth is, she doesn't particularly like being on stage and prefers the security of working behind the scenes. Her earliest performance consisted of reciting four-line poems at East Trigg Baptist Church in Memphis; she also saw plays there. And at home, she and her sister sang church songs. "There was a church across the street from our home," she wrote, "and we learned many of the songs we heard while sitting on the porch or playing in the yard on those nights when it was too hot to sleep."
Walker's father was a Pullman railway-car porter. After he heard he could get more work in Denver than in Memphis, the family moved, as did other Pullman families. Walker was eleven. At Zion Baptist Church in Denver, Lucy was "transported" by reenactments of the Bible performed by her Sunday school teachers.
Walker didn't try out for a play until she attended Wilberforce University in Ohio. The director shouted "Next" before she had even finished her lines, and she never tried out for another speaking role at school. Besides, theater was less important to her than her goals of getting married, having children and being an "excellent housewife." She graduated with a degree in secondary education and, because there were few opportunities for black teachers, went to work at the old U.S. Air Force Finance Center in north Denver. She married an IRS employee and began substitute teaching at black schools in Denver, then at white schools. She wanted to continue teaching black kids, who lived in the same part of town as she did, but, she notes ruefully, "Once you have been determined capable to teach their children, that's where you go."
Her husband didn't want her to work, so she left her job to concentrate on raising her two young children, Lynne and Floyd. But being an "excellent housewife," she soon discovered, was not for her. (Walker and her husband, whom she declines to name, divorced in the early '70s. Asked whether he's still alive, she shrugs: "I suspect I would know if he wasn't.")
Theater called, and she tentatively answered, starting EDEN in 1963 with a "willingness to work at it gradually." The name doesn't refer to Genesis: It's a contraction of East Denver, where EDEN got its start. "Workshop" was attached to the title to reflect the group's commitment to train anybody who wanted to learn about theater - and color, including white, was no obstacle.
EDEN was grassroots theater. It was theater for those without easy access to theater, for those who didn't know about theater. It was theater for actors and technicians looking for a break or a chance, a little experience, encouragement and support. The workshop was straightforward: Get the rights to a play, find a place to rehearse and perform, fix the place up, and put on the show. In the beginning, the group could only afford to stage its shows for a few days - and then Walker and her colleagues would sell dinners, cakes and pies to raise money for the next year's shows. Even collecting fifty cents in monthly dues from workshop members could be tough, so EDEN began holding workshops and classes and producing newsletters. The group worked out of a garage it had fixed up at 2856 Fairfax Street in Park Hill.
EDEN is "just like any other theatrical organization," says actor John Martinez, who got his first break with EDEN in a play about life in the Appalachian Mountains. "They're always operating on a shoestring. You're always doing what you can with what you have. It's always nip and tuck."
Walker had no ambition to run the group she'd started. "I never felt I was capable of leading the group, even though I founded it," she says. "I didn't have a degree in theater. I didn't know much about theater. I didn't know much about anything." In fact, the director of the group's first play doubted Walker's talent and refused to cast her; she got a role only after an original actor dropped out. It was a small role with only a couple of lines: Walker played a murderess who was cuffed on stage by a few cops, then taken away.
In the '70s, Walker moved to Texas for a while, and EDEN almost folded. When she returned, she took over day-to-day operations, and she's never let them go. She began taking theater classes at the University of Denver, and EDEN soon hit its stride with a series of works called Plays for Living, one-acts about social issues such as alcoholism, teen sex and elder care.
"I had always considered myself more of a social worker than a theater person, and my involvement in theater had always had more of a social leaning," she wrote in the 25th anniversary program. But Plays for Living didn't just fit Walker's philosophy, it fit with funders' needs. The plays became an "educational component" of Human Services, Inc., an agency affiliated with the Mile High United Way. Human Services purchased scripts, paid royalties and helped book theater space for EDEN. A reviewer described one Plays for Living show as "a combined dinner/theater/discussion/support group. It can't be legitimately evaluated as either art or entertainment, but it worked on its own terms, stimulating a discussion afterwards that seemed important and useful to the audience."
In 1978 EDEN moved into the house on Gilpin Street. A grant from the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act increased EDEN's annual budget from $4,000 to $25,000; when those funds dried up, in 1981, other organizations, including the Piton Foundation, stepped in. EDEN's theater season expanded to five productions, and the workshop was buzzing. "Nearly any day, there is a rehearsal, performance or workshop," Walker related in 1988. "There are more people who want to be involved than our little house can hold or for whom we have leadership. Often you will find two groups rehearsing or meeting at the same time."
EDEN performed at schools, community centers, nursing homes, hospitals -- anywhere it could. And it performed whatever it wanted: James Baldwin plays, a Scott Joplin opera, a take on Aeschylus's "Prometheus Bound" called Prometheus (re)Bound, works by writers as diverse as Ossie Davis, Lorraine Hansberry, Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee. Nor was casting limited by traditional thought. Jeffrey Nickelson, who now heads up the acclaimed Shadow Theatre Company, auditioned for a show in 1979; Walker cast the black actor as a white character. He turned it down -- he wasn't ready for that. "Now that I look back on it, what a risk she was taking," he says.
After returning from pursuing theater in Korea, of all places, Nickelson approached Walker again in 1986, asking to direct a play. She was suspicious at first, but warmed up and agreed to let him direct Black Gravy, marking the start of a decade-long collaboration. The experience was a confidence-builder for Nickelson, who didn't have anywhere else in town to go.
Lucy Walker is a woman who's rarely influenced by other people, and that position has its price. Walker, says Nickelson, is the kind of person who will hug a child with a snotty nose and ashy knees while a nicely groomed, well-dressed child standing nearby garners the attention of everyone else. "People won't understand why she's doing that," he adds. "Instead of embracing the wonderful things she's done and moving them forward, she feels the negativity and refuses to conform."
Walker is stubborn, and if she's overlooked opportunities to shake the right hand or make the right compromise for EDEN's economic benefit, well, that's a tradeoff she'll live with. "There are some folks who play the game well," she says. "I don't play games. I was brought up free. Too free."
Sometimes she's even a little free with the financial facts. EDEN's budget has averaged $40,000 for the last several years, but Walker often inflates that budget in her proposals to try to get more money from potential contributors. She knows she won't get whatever she asks for, so she sees no point in asking for what she really needs. "Corporations will give you less if you say you need less," she explains. "They play games with me, I play games right back."
But these games are in the minor leagues, while other Denver groups play in the majors. Cleo Parker Robinson, whose Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble is almost a decade younger than EDEN, shows up in the papers on a regular basis. Robinson recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to receive a $10,000 award from the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities; her company is scheduled to perform in Jerusalem in November.
Here at home, the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble has also received financial rewards. Although it's moved back and forth between the lower two tiers in the three-tiered SCFD funding scheme, in 1998, when it was funded in the same tier as EDEN, it received $30,450 in SCFD support.
"It's exciting to know she's still making it happen," says Robinson of Walker, at the same time suggesting that comparing the two groups may not be appropriate. "I never felt she was in competition. I felt she was very special, very different. I never felt she was trying to be somewhere else. We were always striving to be national, international. I think she knew she wanted to be community-based. I think she was really true to that."
Still, Walker can't help but notice the different support levels. And although Robinson's company does perform internationally, Eulipions is Denver-based. Very Denver-based: The group received almost $2 million in loans and grants to purchase the massive El Jebel Temple downtown, a deal that's fast unraveling ("Playing to an Empty House," October 5). Walker, who will never see a tenth of that funding, used to resent the success of these groups. But that only made her "lose energy," she says.
She has the future to plan -- the future of an organization that sometimes only makes sense with her as its head. "She tries to do too much and wear too many hats," Martinez observes, adding that after 37 years, it can be "kind of hard to turn the reins over." Friends and longtime associates glow with praise for Walker, but when the topic turns to EDEN's long-term prospects, they quiet down. "It's sad to think that when Lucy Walker goes, EDEN goes with her," says Nickelson. "That makes me sad."
But Walker's not about to go anywhere right now. She has her ongoing campaign to battle the SCFD board for funds. Next month EDEN will hold auditions for its upcoming production, The Green Pastures, which is based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the first black musical to be staged on Broadway. That production is set for a two-weekend run in February at the Temple Events Center. After that, Walker will keep busy teaching theater at elementary schools around town. "That satisfies me," she says. "I don't need to put on major productions...but I will."
She's already planning EDEN's 38th anniversary party in September 2001.
Walker recently traveled to St. Louis, on a $700 grant from the Colorado Council for the Arts, to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Black Theater Network. She's proud of that award, much prouder than she is of a recent $2,600 grant from the Mayor's Office of Art, Culture and Film. EDEN, one of 38 arts groups honored, was selected because "they are a long-term Denver organization that's well respected for their work with youth," says Donna Smith, performing-arts coordinator with the mayor's office.
EDEN has been a recipient of that grant since 1993 - a fact that's not lost on Walker. It's not enough money to keep her group going, not enough to fund her vision, but it does have benefits - for the City of Denver. And so Walker always sends someone white to collect the grant, to foil any attempt by Mayor Wellington Webb to stage a "We Are the World" style photo op.
"I don't want no black people in the picture," Walker says, then adds, "Isn't that mean?"
Maybe it is, and for a moment Walker frowns, as though she regrets mentioning the idea at all. Then she nods, convinced she is right and to hell with consequences. "I'm tired," she says, "of my picture being used for a pittance."

You also have a thing for your hands dad laughs because I call you a little magician but you also clasp them together and play with them and they also always end up in the mouth your necks getting stronger and are managing to hold it up. You keep giving me a fright every morning I wake up as you some how always manage to kick all the way to the top of your little carry cot and pull your shawl over your face and just laugh and smile when I try to pull it down and tuck it in. Your such an amazing sleeper going down between half 9 -10 and sleeping right through to half 6 -7.
When I took you for your jags the other week you screamed I think you were the loudest in the doctors but when I sat feeding you in the waiting room you started smiling and laughing at the other babies. Your slowly starting to grow out of your newborn clothes and making your way into 3 month outfits you were 9lb 3oz at 7 weeks old I can't believe how quickly you are growing up we are starting a baby massage class next week and I think am way more excited than you are, but you hate when I take your clothes off and your lips shiver so I am unsure if you will like it.

I have also recently helped a friend who needed their house "fixed up" up after coming out of a bad relationship. I have picked up some handy renovation skills, including carpentry skills in fixing all the doors in the house. It certainly kept me busy for 16 months but I felt good in helping a friend in need.
On a first date, I would like to chat over a nice meal with a nice red wine and talk about our interests, passions and hopes for the future. I hope to meet somebody who is positive and enjoys life and we can go from there!

Tommy Togiai, DT, Ohio State – NFL Draft Player Profile
1 week ago Adiantku
The 2021 NFL Draft's interior defensive line class still isn't inspiring all the way across....
The 2021 NFL Draft's interior defensive line class still isn't inspiring all the way across. However, over the course of the 2020 season, several defensive tackles have emerged as potential early picks at the position. One of those defensive tackles in this year's NFL Draft is Ohio State's Tommy Togiai. How does Togiai win against opposing offensive linemen, and does his play style project well to the NFL?
Tommy Togiai NFL Draft Profile
Height: 6-foot-2
School: Ohio State
Current Year: Junior
Normally, you don't see college football dynasties making the trip out to Pocatello, Idaho to do recruiting. But in the case of Tommy Togiai, the Ohio State Buckeyes chose to make an exception.
Despite playing in a relatively obscure location, Togiai was one of the highest-rated players at his position in the 2018 recruiting class. Togiai graded out as a four-star prospect and the fourth-best prospect at the defensive tackle position. At 6-foot-2, 295 pounds, he already had the desired size from a defensive tackle prospect. His hard-nosed, physical style only served to solidify his stock.
The Buckeyes weren't the only prestigious team to offer Togiai. By the end of his recruiting cycle, the future Ohio State defensive tackle had offers from Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, and USC. But the pedigree of Ohio State's football program allured Togiai. Thus, he committed to play for the Buckeyes.
Tommy Togiai's career as an Ohio State defensive tackle
It didn't take long for Togiai to see the field for Ohio State. He made his way onto the field as a true freshman, serving as a rotational lineman. Appearing on defense in six games, Togiai logged 10 total tackles and 2.0 tackles for loss, setting a foundation for his Ohio State career.
In 2019, Togiai saw a bit more action, but the season was essentially a continuation of his true freshman campaign. Togiai only amassed 16 total tackles, a pass deflection, and 2.0 tackles for loss. Despite the minimal uptick in production, however, Togiai's first two years helped build up to a career season in 2020, one that has him now listed as a breakout NFL Draft candidate.
Tommy Togiai's 2020 season
Once a mere run stuffer, Togiai has developed into a more complete defensive lineman this year.
In seven games for the Buckeyes, he has 23 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, two pass deflections, and a forced fumble. Projecting to a normal 14-game season with a conference championship and a bowl game, Togiai would be on pace for 9.0 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks. As an interior lineman, those are impressive numbers.
Togiai still has one more game to play tonight — the National Championship against the Alabama Crimson Tide. But he's already made an impression on the college football stage. Togiai received recognition as a second-team All-Big Ten selection, and his breakout bodes well for his eventual NFL career. There's no word on whether or not Togiai will declare as a true junior. However, after his 2020 season, it has to be a compelling consideration.
Analyzing Tommy Togiai's NFL Draft profile
Togiai is a bit slept-on at the moment, but that shouldn't last for long. The Ohio State defensive tackle possesses many of the building blocks required to succeed on the interior defensive line. Most notably, his raw power and explosiveness off the line.
Togiai stores an exceptional amount of explosive potential in his lower body. His initial burst gives interior linemen a lot to handle, and he's pleasantly consistent with that burst.
Togiai's burst serves as a perfect complement to his upper-body strength and functional power in run defense. Furthermore, Togiai's burst allows him to hit linemen with devastating momentum when playing on the pass rush unit. It also allows him to get leverage by shooting gaps.

Togiai's power is far from a supplementary trait, however. Togiai's power is just as, if not more, fundamental to his game. The Ohio State defensive tackle's length isn't the best, a factor which partly derives from his height. However, Togiai's functional strength is excellent. He also has swift, heavy hands, and his strength allows him to plant a strong anchor at the point of attack.
Where can Togiai improve?
In his breakout 2020 season, Togiai showed solid improvement as a pass rusher. He also retained his utility as a stout run blocker who's hard to move. In all honesty, there aren't too many notable limitations with Togiai, but there are some areas where he can improve.
As one might expect, while Togiai has great hustle in pursuit, his pursuit speed isn't top-tier. Additionally, Togiai can be more diverse with his hand techniques as he rushes. There are some occasions where Togiai simply establishes his anchor and struggles to disengage. Being more consistently active with his hands could help.
Furthermore, Togiai's relative lack of length and torso flexibility limits his pass rushing upside a bit. He has a high floor and a decently high ceiling. However, a few other linemen supersede him in the draft class. Nevertheless, Togiai's explosiveness, power, and natural leverage make him a solid, versatile threat on the interior, and his stock continues to rise as the NFL Draft nears.
Tommy Togiai's best fits in the 2021 NFL Draft
In an Ohio State draft class that includes Justin Fields, Wyatt Davis, Chris Olave, Shaun Wade, Pete Werner, Josh Myers, and Jonathon Cooper, among others, Togiai is trending toward the top. He's still comfortably in the middle of the group. However, he's worked himself into the Day 2 range with his impressive play in 2020.
Togiai has enough burst and carries enough weight with his hands to be a formidable pass rushing threat in the NFL. Additionally, his skill set is naturally conducive to success in run defense. In that phase, dominating play strength earns players an inherent advantage.
Togiai most often plays a 4-3 defensive tackle for the Buckeyes. That said, his power and leverage should translate to several different roles, making him a candidate for 3-4 teams as well.
Which teams should be interested in Togiai?
At this point, any team with a need for a boost on the defensive line has reason to select Togiai on Day 2. Where Togiai is ranked will ultimately be a subjective matter from team to team. Nevertheless, squads like the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Cincinnati Bengals could be good fits for Togiai.
But in truth, if you're a team with a need for better run defense and pass rushing upside on the interior, Togiai is one of the safer, more well-rounded players available.
As the defensive tackle class continues to settle, Ohio State's Tommy Togiai has a good chance to keep rising. He has the necessary athleticism and power to produce in all phases. Although he's not the longest player, he makes up for that with strength, leverage, and a motor that's always running hot.

Holy Trinity Church, also known as the Church of the Holy Trinity, is a Church of England parish church in the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It is situated on the Oxford Road some  west of the town centre. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

The church was built in 1826 as a proprietary chapel and was designed by Edward Garbett, a local architect who was also responsible for the church of the same name in Theale. The building was heavily modified in 1845 either by another local architect, John Billing (according to the list description), or a William Webb (according to the Jesuit priest and architectural historian Anthony Symondson), when it acquired its current high-pitched roof and façade. In 1864 it became a chapel of ease in the parish of St Mary the Virgin, and in 1870 it became a parish church in its own right. The architectural historian Gavin Stamp described it as a "dull Gothic box"; but it was one which the Vicar from 1967 to 1989, Brian Brindley, greatly enlivened.

The chancel screen in the Church was designed by Augustus Pugin and had originally been installed in St Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham. It escaped destruction and was rescued and installed here by Fr Brindley. The chancel screen is the reason for the church being listed. The chancel screen was merely the most prominent of the treasures that Brindley acquired. Other items included a Martin Travers high altar (in the form of a gilded sarcophagus), designed for Nashdom Abbey, which Brindley installed in the Lady chapel. The pulpit was rescued from All Saints Church, Oxford when it was converted to Lincoln College's Library. From the same source came Sir Thomas Graham Jackson's gilded lectern. The high altar was rescued from St Paul's, Walton Street, Oxford, complete with its 17th-century tabernacle, which had itself been rescued from a Belgian church in the First World War.

The organ has a complicated history. Although the listing description refers to it as dating from 1800, this antiquity is not borne out by the details available from the National Pipe Organ Register. The original organ was installed in 1828 by Flight & Robson; it was described as 'a very bad organ'. This was replaced in 1870 by an organ made by Gray and Davison. During the Brindley era in the 1970s it was rebuilt, by an amateur, making use of organ parts from a number of other instruments, including another Gray and Davison from Brondesbury Baptist Church and an organ from All Saints, Oxford. The Brondesbury organ appears to have been rebuilt from a Hill instrument. The organ from Oxford had been built by C Martin in 1879, and restored after 1919 by PG Phipps although Symondson attributes an earlier date of 1780 to it. The entire composite organ was then restored from 1979 onwards by BC Shepherd & Sons.

The church appeared in one of the earliest ever photographs by Henry Fox Talbot whose Reading Establishment was located nearby.

As a traditionalist Anglo-Catholic church that rejects the ordination of women as priests and bishops, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry (currently Paul Thomas).

Q: Linux Networking Kernel I am reading Kernel Networking In linux. I found this http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-networking-stack/ article helpful. After reading this I have a doubt that If I create any software in Linux platform.. Lets say, some chat Program.. Do I have to make use of all those API`s(sk_buff and all) available to connect to the another network? Please help me with it.

A: sk_buff is a kernel structure that is part of the kernel's TCP/IP stack. You shouldn't need to touch this directly and will in actuality find it difficult to do so.
What you need instead is to learn the user-space API's for network communication. For quickly learning the basics of network communication on Unix, it's tough to beat Beej's Guide.

A: If you want to create a chat software I would recommend to you to checkout the BSD Sockets or any TCP/IP Network Guide for Linux. You don't need to understand what's going on within the Kernel in order to Program a chat software.
The sk_buff is relevant if you would like to create a new device driver but you seem to be above the protocol level.
If you want to create a chat you would create a Server Socket (Listener) and Clients which connect to the address where your Server is listening and exchange information through TCP/IP.

A: sk_buff is a kernel data structure for socket buffer. You do not have to touch it for your chat server. If you have taken an OS class you must have noticed there is a process structure(struct proc in Linux) but does it mean you have to use it when you write a program ? No. sk_buff is a similar case, Linux kernel uses it to buffer certain data. You don't have to be concerned with it.
For your chat server have a look at Beej's guide, it has an implementation of Chat Server if I am not wrong and its the best guide that I know to get started with Network Programming on Linux, and is filled with humour. For a deeper understanding of Network Programming look at Richard Stevens Unix Network Programming, Volume 1 and Volume 2. It is considered the bible of Network Programming.

Deslave presents AFTERGLOW, featuring the work of Tony Cokes and Esther Ruiz; curated by Marina Grize and Lissa Corona. Pairing Cokes' arresting video installation, Black Celebration, a rumination on the riots of the 1960's in Black neighbourhoods of Watts, Boston, Newark, and Detroit, with the neon glow of Ruiz's minimalist sculpture, AFTERGLOW addresses the mass media perception of political unrest as a threat to consumerism rather than centering the justifiable frustration of the oppressed.
As the viewer is enveloped by the light of the video projection, the industrial material of Ruiz's minimalist sculpture calls upon the urban spaces marked as landmarks of these historical uprisings. What is left after a riot and who or what do we choose to focus on when the people are tired of being silenced? AFTERGLOW serves as a reminder of the power we hold in numbers: as workers, neighbours, brethren demanding social and economic justice.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's recent VOGUE cover has led to criticism, parody and now–a lawsuit. Former child star, singer Ricky Spicer, has filed a lawsuit against the magazine over music featured in a behind-the-scenes video for the KimYe photo shoot. Spicer was the pre-teen lead singer of a soul group called The Ponderosa Twins Plus One, a Jackson 5-esque 70s act. Kanye's single "Bound 2" samples Spicer's voice and was the background music for the behind-the-scenes video.

How do I enable auto-open for inline preview for external files?
We have many courses in which students need to access one and the same pdf, preferably displayed with inline preview, but which we keep and update in just one place. In this case the pdf is located outside Canvas on a server. De DocViewer recognizes it is not coming from Canvas and therefore not providing the Auto-open the inline preview for this link option.
If I'm not mistaken, the DocViewer is a JS script and gathers some variables before it displays anything, what variables would that be? Please share if you know more about the workings of the DocViewer.
To enable the auto-open feature, the file has to be uploaded to the Canvas site. You may consider use "Blueprint" to push the pdf to multiple sites and/or use Canvas API to upload the pdf to multiple sites. Once you done that, you could use Canvas API to embed the pdf to anywhere support rich text editor. Here is an example.
As you may see, the "auto_open" class would be the "variable" you are looking for.
Since I have very little knowledge about the DocViewer in Canvas, I'm not sure if this is the best way to solve your problem. So just post it here for your reference.
I'm still hoping there is a way to use the DocViewer with external PDF's.

Map out your future
About Go Make It
Go Make It is manufacturing careers platform, designed to help students, parents, and teachers explore the world of advanced manufacturing, and to find the information they need to pursue careers in our exciting industry.
The project was born from the local manufacturers' need to show people how different manufacturing plants of the 21st century are from what they might expect - not a laborious, repetitive job on a production line, but a place where highly skilled experts use cutting edge technology to craft quality parts and products. It is a collaboration between public (governmental) organizations and private industry, and has been carefully crafted to give a fair and helpful representation of what a manufacturing career might look like, so that young people might see the potential for a challenging and rewarding career. After all, they are the future of this industry, and hopefully they'll see that this industry is the future of innovation in America.
Picking a career didn't use to be so complicated - there was a pretty straightforward list of professions to choose from, and those haven't changed all that much in the last 100 years. But ask yourself this question honestly - do you know what the jobs of the next 100 years will be?
STEM Careers Lead the Way
Careers of the future will rely on skills in the arts of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Whether your children are going to design innovative new products, build robots and drones that will change the way we live our lives, find solutions to global issues like climate change, over-population, and access to food and water, or even just work with these new technologies in their day to day role, a STEM education prepares them for the types of jobs that will be in high demand as technology advances. With startup companies revolutionizing the ways we do things, skills like coding are already giving students a significant leg up, and this pattern will only continue. You can read more about the importance of STEM to the future of American jobs via the White House.
HOW MANUFACTURING FITS IN
21st Century manufacturing jobs in America are not the laborious and repetitive roles you remember. Manufacturers across the country are desperate for young men and women with STEM skills, to work with computers much more than their hands. In an era of 3D printing, robotic assembly, and sophisticated, computer-controlled machining, there is a well-paid career opportunity, with comprehensive benefits, for anyone with the technical skills to design, program, and operate these machines.

The Changing Epidemiology of Pertussis in Young Infants: The Role of Adults as Reservoirs of Infection
J. D. Nelson
Pediatrics - Other
We reviewed 400 bacteriologically confirmed cases of pertussis in infants and children during the past 18 years. Several changes in the epidemiology have occurred in the most recent six-year period. The incidence of whooping cough in children has decreased by at least 50%, but the proportion of cases occurring in infants younger than 12 weeks of age has doubled to 30% of all cases. Formerly most young infants acquired their illness from siblings or other children, but in the recent period adults in the household were the most common source of infection to neonates and young infants. This observation plus the increasingly high level of immunization in preschool and school-aged children suggest that young adults with waning immunity and mild illness are a major reservoir for transmission of pertussis to infants too young to be immunized.

Background: The changing pattern of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection could have a significant impact on future medical prevention practices and therapies.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the changing pattern of HCV infection in southwest China using clinical epidemiology, and to assess the association between the genotypes distribution and certain potential risk factors.
Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis which included 1 208 subjects with chronic HCV registered at the Southwest Hospital (Chongqing, Southwest China) was performed. The information was reviewed and the data collected from clinical records and short telephone interviews when necessary. HCV genotypes were determined by nucleotide sequencing of the CE1 regions followed by phylogenic analysis with the published HCV genotype. HCV genotype distribution was analyzed according to the patients' age, gender, risk exposure, and the initial risk exposure.
Results: Among the 1 208 patients, the HCV subtype 1b was the most prevalent (32.9%), followed by subtype 3b (18.9%), 6a (18.0%), 3a (12.8%) and 2a (10.4%), while subtypes 1a and 6k accounted for cases of HCV infection in only 9 and 3 cases respectively. Individuals older than 40 years were mainly infected with subtypes 1b and 2a, whereas younger patients were predominantly infected with genotypes 3 and 6. Subtypes 1b and 2a were observed more frequently among 44.4% and 16.0% patients respectively, with a history of invasive operations. Subtypes 3b and 6a constituted the majority of HCV infections among intravenous drug users (IDUs) (28.7% and 34.9%, respectively). A significant difference (P < 0.001) was observed between the HCV genotype distributions, according to the potential route of infection.
Conclusion: In southwest China, the most common remaining subtype is the 1b genotype, but this has declined significantly among young patients. This is followed by subtype 3b and 6a which has increased significantly, especially among young patients. The distribution of such genotypes was also variable according to gender and age. The changing pattern of HCV infection was associated with changes in the modes of HCV acquisition, which raises an alarm signal concerning the major steps that need to be taken in order to reduce such infections in southwest China.
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:This article investigates the changing pattern of clinical Epidemiology on hepatitis C virus infection in Southwest China. This has an important implication for those who are involved in medical prevention and therapy to chronic hepatitis C.

Is the use of sitagliptin associated with cancer?
sitagliptin belongs to the group of drugs called incretins which have been associated with pancreatic cancer in some clinical studies. However, a definite evidence is missing, so, it is advisable to talk to your doctor regarding the same.
What is its treat? I am attaching some reports.
Ok. Send me your symptoms in detail.


I love shooting maternity sessions but when I get to shoot my family it's even more special. We had known for a while that Paige was high risk and was going to need to deliver early. So we knew we would have to do their session a little sooner than typical. We were so blessed to have such a cool day in August to shoot. I believe it was under 80 degrees and very little humidity which is unheard of in the midwest.
This family loves to laugh together.
Beautiful photos Rachael and even more beautiful people.

QUANTRON takes off emission-free with the CIZARIS electric bus
World premiere: First all-electric bus from QUANTRON
Launch as an attractive twelve-meter electric bus (BEV) with proven battery and traction technology that narrows the price gap between diesel bus and zero-emission bus. Zero-emission for everyone!
Modern vehicle design and adapted company logo lays the foundation for the steadily growing zero-emission QUANTRON bus portfolio.
Robust lithium iron phosphate batteries from QUANTRON partner CATL, the world's largest battery producer, combined with an efficient central synchronous motor ensure reliable propulsion and ranges of up to 370 kilometers.
Modern, QUANTRON's own vehicle design with adapted company logo lays the foundation for the steadily growing zero-emission QUANTRON portfolio. Further vehicles of the QUANTRON brand will follow.
For the market launch, the sales focus will initially be on Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Scandinavia and Southern Europe.
An Augsburg goddess as name inspiration
QUANTRON's new twelve meters long electric bus will stimulate the market for zero-emission and at the same time affordable buses and will be called CIZARIS. The new bus model in the Augsburg-based company's bus portfolio will be launched as an all-electric version (CIZARIS 12 EV), followed in 2023 by a fuel cell drive (CIZARIS 12 H) that uses a largely identical powertrain: both two- and three-door models with a total of nine interior layouts are available. QUANTRON enjoys a special position here as a "Preferred Partner" thanks to its corporate association with the Asian manufacturer EV Dynamics. The name of the new offering for sustainable and reliable mobility in cities says it all: the basic "CI" stands for "City" – i.e. the area of use – the central and prominent "Z" stands for "Zero (emissions)" and the suffix "ARIS" is derived from the Greek and stands for "the noblest/the best".
But that's not all, an Augsburg goddess also comes into play: Ciza or Cisa(ris) was the name of the fertility goddess of the Germanic people of the Vindelics, who settled in Augsburg. In this way, the modern drive technology of the future is also linked to the origins of the Augsburg-based company QUANTRON, which has 140 years of roots in the Haller Commercial Vehicle family business. The CIZARIS represents the entry of electric vehicle pioneer QUANTRON into the sustainable and tender-driven city bus market, which is becoming increasingly significant due to the European "Clean Vehicles Directive". In doing so, the designers are drawing on a vehicle platform that has proven itself hundreds of times over in Asia's largest electric bus markets in recent years. At the QUANTRON plant in Augsburg-Gersthofen, the design features typical of the brand as well as the customer-specific adaptations for the highly regulated municipal transport sector are being made. In the medium term, the CIZARIS will be given a new, completely independent design in the style of the new QUANTRON brand family.
As the first model of QUANTRON, the electric bus bears the evolutionarily enhanced QUANTRON lettering and the new logo. Both are clearly more modern and convey a high recognition value on the front (with logo), the rear and behind the A-pillar. The modern driver's workplace is also emblazoned with a milled, high-quality QUANTRON logo. It stands for the combination of the three brand values "Reliable – Energetic – Brave". These values are also embodied in the striking three-part, intermittent "running light indicators" in the front, which are similarly installed in other QUANTRON models.
Modern vehicle design with a friendly character
The CIZARIS city bus is a feast for the eyes, illustrating QUANTRON's brand values at first glance with its purposefully placed color components in "Absolute Zero Blue". The front of the vehicle is visually appealing thanks to its windshield, which is pulled far down and has large radii on the outside, leaving space below for the new logo. The front and rear roof edges are clearly rounded and adorned with an additional "front shield", which takes away the vehicle's bulkiness and, in conjunction with the refined side graphics, gives it a distinctly three-dimensional impression. The low-floor character of the bus is made clear by the black contrasting center section, while the roof edge trim at the front and rear puts the emphasis on the battery technology, which is hidden there on the roof outside any crash areas. This allows the car to dispense with a conventional "aggregate tower" in the rear and thus offer a proud 24 to 35 seats – in total, there is room for 81 to 95 passengers depending on the battery package – significantly more than many competitors. The rear end with its large taillights, some of which are made of frosted glass or have a light-striped design, is also visually very striking and European.
Light-flooded interior for up to 95 passengers
Access through two or three 1,200 mm wide doors makes it clear to the passenger that he is dealing with a true space artist (pneumatic interior swing doors are standard, electric exterior swing-sliding doors are also available on request). Wide passages between the axles or to the optional third door at the rear contribute to the airy and pleasant impression of space, as does the enormous headroom of 2,449 mm. The front area up to door two is fully low-floor and very easy to clean thanks to beautifully designed keel seats (with cantilever suspensions in the case of the individual seats). For the first time in this segment, the robust seat covers are manufactured using textile digital printing and feature the QUANTRON logo in the specially created parametric design pattern. The color scheme can be very easily adapted to suit needs such as those of people with limited mobility, making these seats instantly recognizable. A total of four seat configurations are available for the two-door model, and as many as five for the three-door model. In the rear, the seats are mounted on pedestals, offering passengers a comfortable, elevated seating position on longer journeys. For short-distance passengers, the seats mounted transversely on the compact engine box directly opposite door 3 are ideal – here the bon mot "hop on – hop off" takes on a whole new meaning. Optionally, a large luggage rack can also be mounted here, for example for airport buses. A highly efficient Valeo heat pump/air conditioning unit with a cooling capacity of 33 kW provides the right climate on board, and the driver also has a front box. Thanks to the advanced principle of "Positive Temperature Coefficient Heating (PTC)", the total heating capacity can be increased to a total of 50 kW if required. The process enables an effective heating output adapted to battery operation with lower energy consumption. Of course, antiviral filters as well as a closed driver's cab are among the possible equipment options adapted to the respective countries. A special highlight in the interior is the elaborately perforated aluminum ceiling with indirect side lighting and additional LED lights mounted transversely to it, the color of which can be changed on request. This quickly creates the dignified atmosphere of a touring car, especially in the evening and at night. Modernity also reigns when it comes to USB charging: either the standard sidewall-mounted USB-A plugs or the optional USB-C plugs under the comfortable seats are available. Why not order both and be future-proof on the road?
Ergonomic driver workstation and safety systems
The driver's workplace of the CIZARIS is in no way inferior to the lounge for the passengers. Mounted on a raised platform from which the driver meets his customers at "eye level," each driver finds the optimal position on high-quality and versatile adjustable seats from Isringhausen or Grammer. The easy-to-grip steering wheel with the new brand logo, but without buttons that tend to distract in city traffic, can also be adjusted in two directions. A VDV-compliant version currently in planning will even be fully adjustable. The basic principle of the cockpit could be summed up as "less is more": the very functionally designed panel with large monitor for rear view camera and co. has very few buttons, which are also easy to replace. The manual spring-loaded lever is just as easy to hold as the door control buttons. On the right of the steering wheel is the recuperation lever, which can be used to select the power of the brake energy recuperation in three stages. The power steering pump for the sensitive electrohydraulic steering is installed quietly in the rear. Information on all important processes and status messages is provided by a fully digital instrument cluster from Actia, which is optimally readable at all times – as are the high-resolution camera mirror monitors mounted directly in front of the A-pillars, where they cut down little field of vision. The CIZARIS is one of the few city buses to also offer a separate nose observation camera with a large monitor above the cockpit. Safety first! That's why the electric bus is also equipped with the latest electronic safety systems such as ABS/ASR, EBS 5.0, ECAS from European production, and the turn-off assistant from Mobileye can also be retrofitted on request. Stabilizers on the front and rear axles ensure high safety and comfort on board. And optimum fire protection is ensured in the rear compartment, in the battery modules and other high-voltage components by means of fire detectors (temperature/gas sensors) and separate powder extinguisher cartridges – even though the LFP batteries are considered by all experts to be largely "incombustible".
Robust battery and traction technology
The undoubtedly most important technology component of an electric bus is the battery and traction technology. And here QUANTRON relies on the combination of robust and reliable lithium iron phosphate batteries and highly efficient synchronous central motor from Dana/TM4, which has been used in tens of thousands of buses for years. From QUANTRON's point of view, this combination, which has so far been rather rare in Europe, represents the optimal team for converting the energy on board into propulsion as safely and efficiently as possible. With between 242 and 424 kilowatt hours of selectable battery capacity, the roof-mounted battery packs only (a maximum of six in the front and six in the rear depending on customer preference) are fast-charged by CATL with 65 to 150 kW direct current (DC) in two to five hours. The matching CCS combo plug is installed on the right, left or in the rear at the customer's request – a key point in terms of customer convenience. In the medium-heavy eSORT 2 cycle, this energy is sufficient for circulations of 220 to 370 kilometers with a charging stroke (DoD) of 10 percent. This range is fully sufficient for most transport operators, saving them greater expense on charging infrastructure. For higher demands, the CIZARIS 12H will have even greater range for intercity travel starting in 2023. The CIZARIS is not only efficient but also easy to maintain – a foolproof and highly reliable electric bus.
The vehicle-mounted and water-cooled central motor from Dana/TM4 based on the permanent synchronous principle (PSM) is appealing due to its low speeds and particularly high efficiency compared with asynchronous motors. It has an output of 145/245 kilowatts (nominal/maximum) and a maximum engine torque of 1,055/3,329 newton meters, which is developed without any gear changes. With the introduction of the fuel cell version, an even more powerful powertrain will be used. Another advantage of the central engine, in addition to its largely silent operation, is that since it does not contribute to the unsprung masses of the chassis like an electric portal axle, it is not exposed to constant vibrations and thus has a longer service life than such systems.
Service and warranty from a German full-line provider
An electric bus is only as good as the service you buy with it – a truism in the industry. QUANTRON does everything in its power to help the customer configure the vehicle and analyze its routes and electrical equipment as early as the purchasing process with its experts. This is because the battery size in particular must be precisely adapted to the circulations so that people really are moved instead of unnecessary battery mass. The basis for a long bus life is a complex cataphoretic dip painting of the frame (KTL) and other effective corrosion protection measures. A central lubrication system on the front axle ensures optimum maintenance. The warranty terms are basically two years for the entire vehicle, and eight years or 3,000 charge cycles (or 80 percent charge capacity – whichever comes first) for the all-important batteries – extensions or service contracts can also be offered on request. Re-use options for batteries at their end of life can also be offered by QUANTRON. In total, QUANTRON has a network of 700 service partners in Europe, many of whom can also service electric buses. In a multi-stage service concept, it is checked in each case whether the customer's workshop can be upgraded to work largely self-sufficiently with the support of QUANTRON technicians. The connectivity of the buses is ensured by the FMS 4.0 interface, and the use of QUANTRON's partner telematics CAPTE or VinCity is also currently being examined in order to be able to remotely retrieve the essential data of the bus, proof of which is also required for public funding, at any time.
For the market launch of the QUANTRON CIZARIS, the sales focus will initially be on the markets of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Scandinavia, and Southern Europe. Due to the special requirements of the German market, such as the VDV specifications relating to the driver's workplace and other systems, the market launch in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will take place in the second half of 2022.
