If you're in need of New Year's Eve plans, SLC band SuperBubble is 'very serious about fun'
Concert preview • Eight-piece "funk collective" — playing Sunday at The Royal — just wants to make its audiences dance.
By Eric Walden
· Published: December 28, 2017
In the event you haven't yet settled on something to do for New Year's Eve, Brandon Barker has a humble-if-slightly-biased suggestion.
Salt Lake City-based band SuperBubble is headlining the "Happy Funkn' New Years" show on Sunday night at The Royal in Salt Lake City.
"We all just wanna play hard, and make it stanky, and make people dance, and throw a party," said Barker, the group's bassist, vocalist and co-founder.
If a funky, hard, stanky dance party isn't the recipe for a memorable New Year's Eve, then maybe nothing is.
Rob Drayna, who founded SuperBubble along with Barker and serves as the group's co-vocalist and one of its guitarists, added that the band's motivations are simple: "People wanna dance, and people like to dance to funk music. And it's fun s--- to play!"
Indeed, putting the fun in funk is important not just to keep audiences happy, but is SuperBubble's modus operandi, as well.
"One thing that I'm really serious about, personally, is we do this s--- for fun," Drayna added.
"He's very serious about fun!" Barker confirmed with a laugh.
Which makes it all the more ironic that the band was, in part, born out of naked ambition.
Barker had been on the local music scene for several years as a solo "loop-station artist" under the moniker "Simply B." And while he was a popular figure on the festival circuit, he could never get beyond side-stage relegation, finally being told that if he wanted to make it to the main stage, "You need a band."
He and Drayna had met some years before at the now-defunct "Old Woodshed Jam" in Salt Lake City, and had an instant chemistry. So, in February 2016, when the bassist in Drayna's band moved away and the group "fizzled," Barker reached out to see if he'd be interested in teaming up on a new project.
Then at Sundance, Barker met Tim Ouburg, a Dutch-born pianist who came to reside in SLC after meeting and marrying a local woman, and who was, coincidentally, looking to join a funk band. Ouberg, in turn, recommended guitarist Max Webb and drummer Wyatt Richards. Barker's roommate, percussionist Dan Muir, also joined up.
"We got this one gig and we ended up jamming Sunday, Monday, then just played that show on Tuesday with that core crew of six," Barker said. "That's how we jumped into it. That's how we got all six pieces together, just by basically throwing together a show — slapping it together in two days and then just jamming it out."
SuperBubble subsequently added trumpet player Dave Terran and saxophonist Sterling Wootton, whose roles have grown from playing occasional solos to contributing horn lines interwoven into the central fabric of the band's songs.
The end result is that SuperBubble is now a symbiotic musical organism — a combination of guys who are "self-taught and just kinda jam it out" and "super-crazy theory guys [that] actually know what they're doing," according to Barker — whose onstage proficiency has evolved beyond even what appeared on the six-song self-titled EP the band released only a few months ago.
"Listening to the EP doesn't tell the whole story with how a live show looks for us," Drayna said. " … We're able to keep it down in the groove, we're able to do solos, we're able to rev a jam up to wall of sound, just like high energy, really pushing hard. Everyone in the band listens real hard, so in that split-second, we can drop it back down."
After finally headlining Ogden's Fall Equinox festival, the band now has bigger ambitions. They're planning to record five or six new tracks that will combine with the EP to form a full-length album to be released this spring or summer. They've also booked a monthlong European tour that will include stops in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and a headlining gig at the Paris Independent Film Festival.
They'll also be looking for a replacement for Richards, as the drummer is about to embark on a piloting career — though his bandmates are still monkeying around with ways to change his plans.
"Here's my gameplan," Drayna said jokingly, "I'm going to point all the lasers that we bring to our show toward his eyes. That way, he'll fail his physical and we'll get to keep him!"
With or without Richards, though, the goal for the band going forward is straightforward enough: Keep funkin' on wherever they can for as long as they can.
"We're lucky enough to have people super-stoked about SuperBubble. I just hope that we can continue that stoked vibe, and we can continue playing raging shows. And can just continue spreading the roots. I just want people to grab onto it," Drayna said. "It's one of those 'I hate to say too much too soon' things. In a way, you have to take it for what it is, with what you've got going. We have some big stuff ahead of us."

Gather supplies: Ensure you have all the equipment and ingredients necessary to make red wine vinegar.
Pour red wine into wide mouth container: Red wine only needs access to air to turn to vinegar.
This process alone will take at least two-three weeks before it starts to taste like vinegar. Tasting it is the best way to determine if it's to your liking. Be sure to use a plastic or wooden spoon. Keep out of direct sunlight or heat. The warmer it is, the faster it will ferment.
Add raw red wine vinegar as a starter culture: Optionally, you can add a raw or unpasteurized red wine vinegar as a starter culture to your red wine to speed up the process. This ensures that you colonize the exact bacteria you want in your red wine vinegar much more quickly. You can start checking your mixture within one week to determine if it's at your preferable acidity.
Bottle and refrigerate: Once its finished, return your new red wine vinegar to its wine bottle or another bottle with a lid. Don't use metal. Refrigerate to cease the fermentation process and preserve flavor. Enjoy!


For whatever reason, Angband hangs on my machine during startup if I have a command prompt open.
Okay, well, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
If I run the binary, and I have a 'command prompt' open, Angband hangs at startup. If I exit all command windows, then it will start.
The hanging Angband will also resume if I exit the command prompt.
This also happens with the nightly builds.
This currently always happens on my box - I'm running XP.
Seems to happen if I use a 'X' font from NPP (NPP 0.5.0 BETA-6).
I was told to do this because if I don't I get some annoying 'can't read anything due to text overlap' bug and the game is unplayable.

His name is Stuart Hollinger and he was raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. ''I come from a musical family that plays Hawaiian music. I've been the "black" sheep and don't play Hawaiian music and they still love me ! At the age of 13 I wanted to join a Rock-N-Roll band but could not afford to buy an instrument so became the lead singer for the band. At the age of 18 got my first guitar and a few years later I was playing clubs in Honolulu. I learned the bass along the way and did top 40 stuff around town. I moved to Kaua'i in 1984 and continued to play music for a couple more years. I then stopped playing for 20 years and had a "real" job. 5 years ago I had the feeling that I wanted to record an album. I didn't want any regrets and wake one day and say to myself that I could have , should have. So I recoreded and released my first album in 2013 called "Dangerous Crossing". It won an award for Rock album of the year in 2014 at the Na Hoku Hanohano awards ( the Hawaiian version of the Grammys). I've released this current album December 2015 called "Endanged Species" to which I am donating a portion of my sales proceeds to wildlife organizations here in Hawaii and in the mainland. I'm also promoting awareness of the plight of our Wild life organizations. Please donate and promote and be the one to make a difference !''

THIS IS ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2019
THE STARS OF TOMORROW14 THINGS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOUACTS WITH IMPACTPLAYLISTS
172 music acts. Performers, talkers, street artists, writers, architects. Roskilde Festival is an abundance of experiences and adventures. From the headliners to the breaking talents, from the parties to the intimate moments, from the experiments to the experienced.
The programme is put together by a group of music programmers and art curators along with a string of partners.
What's special about Roskilde Festival 2019? What's new, what's different and what's particularly exciting?
Head of programme Anders Wahrén and head of Arts & Activism Signe Brink are answering all these questions in this interview.
How would you describe this year's line-up?
Anders Wahrén: "We have a lot of young headliners, we have the most diverse and possibly best ever talent programme – across music, art and activism – and we're moving in sync with the movements that are so important to most of our young festival-goers. It makes me proud that we can attract artists who really care and have something on their mind, apart from entertainment. You will see a lot of things that wouldn't work at just any festival but seems obvious in the context of Roskilde Festival."
Signe Brink: "We have a programme that's both fun and serious, with big acts and fresh talent of all styles and artforms. This year, we're shining a light on solidarity and what it means in 2019, and this topic really shines through in the line-up.
Why did you choose to focus on solidarity?
Signe Brink: "We're witnessing artistic tendencies and activist movements, and the young generations are carrying the torch. We're witnessing communities critical of several aspects of our time, not least the environment and the demands for perfection that young people are facing today. There are obvious parallels to the 1960's and 1970's, but there are new interpretations and new artforms reflecting this new way of interpreting solidarity."
Can you give us some examples from the line-up?
Signe Brink: "Danish artist Hannah Tocicki Anbert will conduct a silent parade in the name of unproductivity. It's simply about taking part with absoluley no demands, a sort of antithesis to what many people feel they have to live up to in society today. Or take renowned Swiss artist Claudia Comte as an example with her large-scale sculpture ME WE, this is something really simple but powerful to make you contemplate your role in the grand scheme of things. This is about solidarity with the young generations, but even the logs used for the sculpture have been felled in a sustainable way and in a way that allows them to be used and repurposed."
Anders Wahrén: "Silvana Imam is an interesting example from the music programme. She's a very outspoken feminist, she's an immigrant, and she's first and foremost a role model. She's opening the Orange Stage, which will give her show a lot more exposure and awareness, and she's chosen to share the spotlight by inviting about 10 upcoming Nordic rappers with her onstage. This kind of artistic solidarity is not only beautiful, it's luckily something we see more and more often."
What else differs from last year?
Anders Wahrén: "It's striking how many artists are trying out new formats, experimenting with different modes of expression. We see it among well-known artists such as Christine and the Queens and her focus on performance and dancing. Rosalía is an artist who incorporates the flamenco tradition. Danish act Baby In Vain are preparing a show with a choreographer and a dance company from the Royal Danish Ballet."
Tell us a little about the new headliners.
Anders Wahrén: "They're sure to deliver great shows, that's for sure, but I think some people might not know how conscious they are of their surroundings. An artist like Janelle Monáe is really challenging the social and sexual norms in society, and she's helping new talent with her Wondaland Arts Society which opens its doors to young musicians and activists. When she first played Roskilde she called it her most amazing show she had ever played, and we're so excited to have her back."
Signe, what's the first thing you're going to see from the Arts & Activism programme?
Signe Brink: "Where to start?! I'm excited about Søren Aagaard's post-apocalyptic food truck and how it looks when Tomoko Sauvage transforms water bowls into instruments and turns water into sound. I'm also proud of having CERN and the Niels Bohr Institute at the festival for the first time."
How does CERN relate to the rest of the programme?
Signe Brink: "Activism has many faces, and science is one of them. It's very important to us to offer debates and discussions at Roskilde Festival. We have 130,000 participants each year from all over the world, and they're all different people with different viewpoints. Instead of telling them what we think, we're more interested in offering different perspectives on the world. CERN and the Niels Bohr Institute offer debates on energy resources, workshops that will give you a better understanding of nature and power sources and much more."
Anders Wahrén: "Generally speaking, we're not interested in being an echo chamber. We don't have to tell festival-goers what's right and wrong."
Can you elaborate on that?
Anders Wahrén: "It's a general viewpoint, but it's vital in 2019. Just think of the algorthitms on social media and streaming services, even if it helps you choose the most relevant content for you, there's a risk that you won't broaden your horizon and discover anything truly new. That's actually the reason why we have so many different genres on all the stages, so people will move around and catch different vibes and walk into a concert that they didn't know about instead of staying in front of one stage a whole day."
Speaking of different stages, what should festival-goers keep an eye out for?
Signe Brink: "Apart from the Avalon stage moving to the east of Orange Stage, we have a new construction called the Ambereum with performances, concerts and a space to sit and relax. In this space we also have our Sensorium with an interactive museum of smell, a detox with flowers for the hungover, underwater production in a waterbed and much more. At night we'll have DJ's and techno raves in the Ambereum."
Where else do I find a good party?
Anders Wahrén: "You won't have to look far for that! There's always something going on. From the very first day and until the last night there's something for everyone, whether you're looking for legends like The Cure closing the Orange Stage or opting for DJ Koze's closing party at the Apollo stage."
The stars of tomorrow
This is our guide to some of the acts that you should keep an eye out for if you want to catch them before they skyrocket to even bigger stages. Some of them are already well respected, some of them have proved themselves in front of big crowds, some of them have 'made it'. But they're still about to explode, and they're about to get even bigger.
14 things that will surprise you
We know: there's a lot to keep track of. Here is a brief guide to some pretty special, unexpected things you can't miss.
Acts with impact
Many of our acts are role models who have made a big impact both on the arts and in their communities.

Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer. (Vancouver Police)
UPDATED: 'Young, innocent' teen hit during Vancouver shootout dies
15-year-old Coquitlam boy was in a car driving by the scene
Katya Slepian
Jan. 15, 2018 2:15 p.m.
The 15-year-old boy caught in the crossfire of a shooting in Vancouver Saturday night died on Monday, according to the BC Coroner's Service.
At a news conference earlier that day, Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer had said that the teen was on life support and not expected to survive.
Palmer said that "an exchange of gunfire took place between at least two people at East Broadway and Ontario Street " at approximately 9:15 p.m.
Kevin Whiteside, 23, of Vancouver received life-threatening injuries and died overnight, Palmer said.
Whiteside was known to police, Palmer said, but said he couldn't comment on whether Whiteside was the target of the shooting.
"He was involved in the exchange of gunfire," said Palmer.
Another bullet struck a 15-year-old boy whose family was driving from Vancouver back to Coquitlam.
Palmer described the Coquitlam teen as a "young, innocent 15-year-old boy"
"I am incredibly saddened and heartbroken to have to report that this teenage boy is on life support in hospital and not expected to live," said Palmer before hearing the news of the teen's death.
"My heart goes out to the family of the 15-year-old boy. They were having a normal Saturday night out with family and now they are grieving for their son."
Palmer said that investigators were working to determine if it was a bullet from Whiteside's gun that hit the 15-year-old.
Another man in his 30s was treated for injuries at the scene.
Palmer said that it is rare for uninvolved bystanders to be killed in shootings.
"Vancouver is a safe city," Palmer said.
No other suspects have been identified by police and anyone who was in the area or has video footage of the scene at the time of the shooting is asked to call police at 604-717-2500.

While many publishers have been working to build online video libraries, getting this video content in front of viewers remains a challenge, which in turn limits the number of opportunities to monetize it with video ads.
But that task is about to get easier, thanks to a new service from Veeseo, which matches video to articles based on relevance so readers are more likely to choose to watch it.
Veeseo -- which is based in Germany and works with a number of big European publishers including Spiegel, AOL UK and Axel Springer -- has partnered with Touchstorm to launch its video relevance engine in the U.S. The service uses speech-to-text transcription and a semantic algorithm to analyze and identify video that would be most relevant to a particular article. It then embeds the video in the article (in the middle of the page, to maximize viewability) along with pre-roll advertising designated by the publisher.
The company typically monetizes this with a small fee per click, while enabling publishers to boost their revenues with more pre-roll ads.
Andresen also pointed out that unlike other video recommendation platforms like Outbrain and Taboola, Veeseo's system is not designed to drive viewers away from publisher sites to video hosted elsewhere. By sending readers to publishers' own video, it allows publishers to retain more traffic and boost audience engagement.

A: Suppose that $x = \frac{a}{b}$ ($a, b \in \Bbb{Z}$) is a solution to the equation.  Without loss of generality, we may assume that $a$ and $b$ are coprime (so that the fraction is in lowest terms).  Then,
$$
\left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^2 - 3\left( \frac{a}{b} \right) + 1 = 0,
$$
and by multiplying by $b^2$,
$$
a^2 - 3ab + b^2 = 0.
$$
Rearranging a bit,
$$
b^2 = a(3b - a),
$$
which shows that $a$ divides $b^2$.  Since $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, Euclid's Lemma says that $a$ divides $1$.  In other words, $a = \pm 1$.
Rearranging the equation a bit differently,
$$
a^2 = b(3a - b),
$$
so $b$ divides $a^2$, which leads to $b = \pm 1$.
So the assumption that $x \in \Bbb{Q}$ leads inexorably to the conclusion that, in lowest terms,
$$
x = \pm \frac{1}{1} = \pm 1.
$$
You can check that those are not roots.

A: As copper.hat mentioned in his comment, assume $x=\frac{a}{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime integers.  Thus,
$$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{a^2}{b^2}-3\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)+1&=&0\\
a^2-3ab+b^2&=&0\\
a^2-2ab+b^2&=&ab\\
(a-b)^2&=&ab
\end{eqnarray}$$
But $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime.  So either $a$ and $b$ are both odd or exactly one of them is even.  If $a$ and $b$ are both odd, then the left hand side is even and the right hand side is odd. If exactly one of $a$ or $b$ is even, then the left hand side is odd and the right hand side is even.  Either case results in a contradiction.  Thus $x$ is irrational.

A: Hint $ $ If $x$ is a root of $\,f(x) = x^2\!-3x+1$ then so too is $\,1/x$  (since, by Vieta, the roots have product $=1).$ If $\,x\in\Bbb Q\,$ is in lowest terms then $x$ or $1/x$ has odd denominator, so reducing mod $2$ it yields a root of $f$ modulo $2$, contra $f$ has no roots mod $2,\,$ since $\,f(0)\equiv 1\equiv f(1).\ \ $ QED

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that Mississippi can pursue claims of price-fixing against a manufacturer of LCD screens in state court.
The justices today reversed a lower court ruling that blocked the state-court suit against AU Optronics Corp.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for the court, said the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was wrong to order that the case be tried in federal court.
The issue was whether the federal Class Action Fairness Act, aimed at taking class-action lawsuits from consumer-friendly state courts to more business-friendly federal courts, also applied to cases filed by a state on behalf of its residents.
Taiwan-based AU Optronics is one of several Asian companies sued for fixing prices for thin film transistor liquid-crystal display panels from 1999 to 2006.

Roos de Jong (* 23. August 1993) ist eine niederländische Ruderin. 2019 gewann sie Weltmeisterschaftsbronze und 2021 Olympiabronze im Doppelzweier. 2022 gewann sie zwei Weltmeisterschaftssilbermedaillen.

Sportliche Karriere
Roos de Jong begann 2009 mit dem Rudersport. Bei den Junioren-Weltmeisterschaften 2011 belegte sie den siebten Platz im Doppelzweier. Zwei Jahre später trat sie bei den U23-Weltmeisterschaften 2013 in zwei Bootsklassen an. Mit dem Doppelzweier belegte sie den achten Platz, im Achter erreichte sie den sechsten Rang. Bei den U23-Weltmeisterschaften 2014 belegte sie den siebten Platz im Einer, bei der U23-Weltmeisterschaft 2015 gewann sie zusammen mit Laila Youssifou Bronze im Doppelzweier.

2017 trat die 1,75 m große Roos de Jong erstmals im Ruder-Weltcup an und erreichte bei ihrem Auftakt den sechsten Platz im Doppelzweier. Allerdings waren bei der Weltcup-Regatta in Belgrad von den sechs angetretenen Booten im Doppelzweier gleich drei aus den Niederlanden. Bei den Europameisterschaften in Račice u Štětí trat Roos de Jong im Einer an und belegte den siebten Platz. Vier Monate später bei den Weltmeisterschaften in Sarasota belegte Roos de Jong im Doppelzweier mit Marloes Oldenburg den achten Platz. 2018 ruderte Roos de Jong im Doppelzweier mit Lisa Scheenaard. Die beiden gewannen bei den Europameisterschaften in Glasgow mit 0,3 Sekunden Rückstand Silber hinter den Französinnen. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 2018 belegten die beiden Niederländerinnen den fünften Platz. 2019 trat de Jong bei den Europameisterschaften im Doppelvierer an und gewann zusammen mit Inge Janssen, Sophie Souwer und Olivia van Rooijen die Silbermedaille hinter dem deutschen Doppelvierer. Drei Monate später bei den Weltmeisterschaften in Linz/Ottensheim traten Scheenard und de Jong im Doppelzweier an und erkämpften die Bronzemedaille hinter den Neuseeländerinnen und den Rumäninnen. Bei den Europameisterschaften 2020 ging sie erneut mit Lisa Scheenaard im Doppelzweier an den Start und die gewannen die Silbermedaille hinter den Rumäninnen. Nach einem vierten Platz bei den Europameisterschaften 2021 in Varese gewannen die Niederländerinnen bei den Olympischen Spielen in Tokio ihr Halbfinale und ruderten im Finale auf den dritten Platz hinter den Booten aus Rumänien und aus Neuseeland.

Bei den Europameisterschaften 2022 in München siegten die rumänischen Olympiasiegerinnen Simona Radiș und Nicoleta-Ancuța Bodnar im Doppelzweier vor Roos de Jong und Laila Youssifou. De Jong und Youssifou ruderten auch im niederländischen Achter, mit dem sie den dritten Platz belegten. Einen Monat später gewannen Roos de Jong und Laila Youssifou bei den Weltmeisterschaften in Račice u Štětí zwei Silbermedaillen. Sowohl im Doppelzweier als auch im Achter erreichten sie das Ziel hinter den Rumäninnen.

Q: How to validate input custom using directive? I have made the following directive:
.directive('checkValueTypeArray', function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        scope: {
            typeElement: '=',
            typeValue: '='
        },
        link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {

            var type_value = scope.typeValue;

            ngModel.$validators.required = function (v) {

                switch (type_value) {

                    case "integer":
                        status = isInt(v);
                        break;

                    case "string":
                        status = isNaN(v);
                        break;

                    case "object":
                        status = true;
                        break;

                    case "array":
                    case "array_objects":
                        status = true;
                        break;

                    case "boolean":
                        status = (v === "true" || v === "false");
                        break;

                    case "float":
                        status = isNumeric(v);
                        break;

                    case "vector2":
                        status = (v.length === 2);
                        break;

                    case "vector3":
                        status = (v.length === 3);
                        break;
                }

                return status;
            };
        }
    };
})

And call this directive like as:
<input
    ng-required="true"
    check-value-type-array
    type-value="node.type_value"
    type-element="node.type"
    ng-value="item"
    class="form-control"
    ng-change="changeArrayValue(inputValue, $index, node, $parent.$index)"
    ng-model="inputValue" type="text"
    placeholder="Value ($$node.type_value$$)"
>

Problem is that if status false, it does not input field error(color).
So, it does not work for me. When I see input in DOM Chrome, I see isolated model.

A: I assume that you need to add a $observe :
Have a look at the ngRequired directive from the angular.js source :
var requiredDirective = function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    require: '?ngModel',
    link: function(scope, elm, attr, ctrl) {
      if (!ctrl) return;
      attr.required = true; // force truthy in case we are on non input element

      ctrl.$validators.required = function(modelValue, viewValue) {
        return !attr.required || !ctrl.$isEmpty(viewValue);
      };

      attr.$observe('required', function() {
        ctrl.$validate();
      });
    }
  };
};

Rubio Leads Florida Colleagues in Urging Army Corps to Focus on Resilience, Restudy Aging Flood Control System
Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) led a bipartisan group of his Florida colleagues in urging Assistant Secretary of the Army—Civil Works R.D. James to re-study the aging flood control system created as a result of the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Project. Following passage and signing into law of the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019, Congress has now provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with $35 million in investigation funding and $740 million in construction funding for flood and storm damage reduction projects in states and territories impacted by 2018 hurricanes and typhoons, including Florida.
Specifically the legislators wrote: "A new restudy of the C&SF Project is overdue to ensure the cost-effectiveness and resilience of the region's flood control system" and "should integrate the potential impacts of sea level rise and generally higher water tables into the engineering and design of improved flood control features."
U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and U.S. Representatives Greg Steube (R-FL-17), Brian Mast (R-FL-18), Francis Rooney (R-FL-19), Alcee Hastings (D-FL-20), and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL-25) joined Rubio in signing the letter.
The full text of the letter is below.
Dear Assistant Secretary James:
Following passage and signing into law of the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019, Congress has now provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with $35 million in investigation funding and $740 million in construction funding for flood and storm damage reduction projects in states and territories impacted by hurricanes and typhoons in 2018, including Florida. As your office begins work with all three levels of the USACE to identify, evaluate, and take action on studies and projects eligible for this new supplemental disaster funding, I urge you to strongly consider funding a restudy of the aging flood control system created as a result of the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Project.
The C&SF Project was authorized by Congress in 1948 and has served as an invaluable contributor to the development and economic success of South Florida. The most recently completed restudy in 1999 served as a template for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), with the goal of restoring the region's hydrological connectivity and ensuring the sustainability of South Florida's water resources for people and the environment. A new restudy of the C&SF Project is overdue to ensure the cost-effectiveness and resilience of the region's flood control system.
Specifically, a new C&SF Project Flood Control Restudy would assess the full extent of South Florida's aging water management infrastructure. Building off the USACE's concurrent efforts in the region through CERP and the South Atlantic Coastal Study, the restudy should also integrate the potential impacts of sea level rise and generally higher water tables into the engineering and design of improved flood control features. Importantly, the restudy should focus on maintaining current levels of flood control service throughout the region, including by proposing new projects as necessary, such as a South Dade Flood Protection Project to ensure comprehensive seepage management west of Krome Avenue in Miami-Dade County.
Facing dynamic new pressures on the existing flood control system, the USACE, working in concert with the South Florida Water Management District, now has a critical opportunity to improve the resilience of South Florida communities for decades to come. In accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, we encourage you to seize this opportunity to dedicate supplemental disaster funding to restudy the C&SF Project flood control system.

Thing is, once I re-open the terminal, the merge or pull request always seems to succeed, but is not committed. I just commit my changes and its fine. Its mostly just annoying (and a bit nerve wracking for more important merges).
Does anyone know what this may be and how to prevent it?

A: This is not an error message. git pull needs to do a merge and it's asking you to explain why... which is a bit disingenuous to ask of the user, but that's Git for you.
git pull origin test_branch is really git fetch origin plus a git merge origin/test_branch. Git does not talk to remote repositories unless you tell it to, so it has to get a fresh snapshot of what's changed on the remote. It does the fetch to get an update of the state of the remote repository. It stores this in remote tracking branches like origin/test_branch which is where the test_branch branch is on the origin repository.
Before the fetch, your repo might look something like this.
A - B - C - D [origin/test_branch]
             \
              E - F [test_branch]

That means the last time you fetched from origin, its test_branch was at D. Then you did a few local commits.
After the fetch, it might look like this.
A - B - C - D - G - H [origin/test_branch]
             \
              E - F [test_branch]

Somebody else pushed some changes, so your test_branch has diverged from origin's test_branch branch. This has to be merged, so git pull does git merge origin/test_branch. This results in a merge commit, and like any merge, it's asking you to explain why it happened.
A - B - C - D - G - H [origin/test_branch]
             \       \
              E - F - I [test_branch]

You can tell it something like "Synching with the remote".

Do this enough, and you get many merges that are really just bookkeeping.
A - B - C - D - G - H - J - K - L - M [origin/test_branch]
             \       \       \       \
              E - F - I - N - O - P - Q [test_branch]

I, O, and Q are all meaningless. With everybody doing this, the repository can become a big mess. I drew it neatly, but Git doesn't always do so.
There's a better way. git pull --rebase. Instead of a fetch + merge, this is a fetch + rebase. So after the fetch you have this.
A - B - C - D - G - H [origin/test_branch]
             \
              E - F [test_branch]

Instead of doing git merge origin/test_branch it does git rebase origin/test_branch. It rewrites E and F as if they were on top of H all along, giving them new commit IDs.
A - B - C - D - G - H [origin/test_branch]
             \       \
              E - F   E1 - F1 [test_branch]

E and F will eventually be garbage collected, but they'll hang around for a while so if anything goes horribly wrong you can reverse this process.
There's no bookkeeping merges to confuse things. History is nice and linear. It's as if you were working on the latest code all along.
Unlike other uses of rebase this is always safe since it only affects commits you haven't shared with anyone else. You can safely set it so git pull will always rebase in your ~/.gitconfig.
[pull]
        rebase = true

Now git pull origin test_branch will use rebase instead of merge, and you'll have a cleaner history with less bookkeeping.

CAPS: CLIMATE ACTION PROGRAM AT SITES
CAPS is Takeda's integrated GHG reduction and water conservation program.
CAPS teams engage with site leaders and project sponsors to make sure that the environment is an integral consideration as they make investment decisions, manage projects and plan how they will reduce and ultimately eliminate GHG emissions and other environmental impacts like water use at their facilities.
Through the program, our 30+ manufacturing plants, three main R&D sites and our BioLife plasma collection centers have already made significant progress. CAPS uses a proprietary digital platform to accommodate the transparent tracking, trending and forecasting of GHG emission reduction across our facilities as we progress toward site and company goals. The CAPS program also enables knowledge and best practice sharing via internal social media and libraries.
HOW WE WORK WITH OUR SUPPLIERS
Takeda's site operations make up around 15% of our GHG footprint. The rest can be attributed to our value chain outside of our corporate boundaries. Our procurement and EHS teams are working with key suppliers to help them establish science-based carbon reduction goals, and to take additional actions to reduce their emissions in line with these targets. This is critical, as we will only be able to reach our GHG emissions reduction goal through partnering with, influencing and supporting our suppliers to reduce their own emissions.
SINGEN'S EFFORTS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Our Singen manufacturing site in Germany produces around 10,000 metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions each year. This means a reduction of 4,000 metric tons to approximately 6,000 metric tons is needed by 2025 if we are to meet our goals. With this in mind, many activities are under way to reduce energy consumption. Heat recovery, LED lighting, emission-free cooling systems and combined heat and power generation are now standard. The site has been using renewable electricity since 2012. A Climate Action Program at Sites (CAPS) team has been formed under the direction of the energy manager, operating across all functions. The site is currently evaluating the possibility of using new heat pump technology and the generation of steam with electric boilers.
VISUALIZING ENERGY USAGE TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR IN OSAKA
Our Juso manufacturing site in Osaka, Japan, has developed a digital dashboard called "Denske," meaning "revealing electricity usage" in Japanese. The Business Excellence and Engineering Utility teams developed the dashboard to enable easy access for all employees. The dashboard shows energy usage and associated GHG emissions for each building. This allows employees at the plant to see the impact of their actions to promote energy efficient behavior.
SINGAPORE IS FIRST ZERO EMISSONS BUILDING
Takeda's commitment to environmentally sustainable operations is at the heart of our approach to capital projects. A new manufacturing support building at our Singapore site, for example, will become our first zero carbon emissions building when it opens in late 2022. The facility incorporates the country's Building Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Zero Energy Building (ZEB) Scheme standards. It raises the bar for energy efficient design, while its cutting-edge technology and engineering set an internal benchmark for new Takeda construction. A comprehensive energy study, with detailed modelling of the proposed initial design, will help reduce the power consumption originally forecast by approximately 34% – from 618,000 kWh/yr to 408,000 kWh/yr. This means the building can achieve a low energy use intensity (EUI) of less than 100 kWh/m2 – impressive anywhere, but particularly given Singapore's hot and humid tropical climate. The installation of more than 850 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will ensure the building's energy consumption is fully met, with no compromise on employee comfort.
BIOLIFE OPENING ALL-ELECTRIC PLASMA DONATION CENTERS
BioLife opened its first all-electric plasma donation center in Washington. Located in Tukwila, near the city of Seattle, the new center is the first in a sustainability initiative to build all-electric plasma donation centers in the United States.
Instead of using natural gas, which results in carbon emissions associated with air pollution and climate change, renewable electricity is used to provide heat and hot water. BioLife is aiming to build all future plasma donation centers as all-electric facilities.
SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR CONSTRUCTION
Environmental sustainability was a key driver when planning and designing the renovation of our 12-story building at 500 Kendall Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S. This already boasted strong environmental credentials. New features added by Takeda include new water efficient fixtures and natural materials, including locally sourced wood. The building exceeds all environmental requirements for the city of Cambridge. And to support GHG emission reductions, the offices use efficient LED lighting, combined with occupancy sensors and daylight dimming. "Green steam" from the nearby combined heat and power (CHP) plant is used for heating and cooling. The steam is produced primarily from waste heat generated by the natural gas turbines that produce electricity, so the GHG emissions are much lower than they would be from a conventional boiler.
Chilled water is created on-site from an absorption chiller – a technology only viable when there's a close, abundant heat source such as the CHP plant. And PV panels on the roof mean solar energy offsets some of the power needs. What's more, the mechanical systems are designed with a "night set-back," which automatically reverts to energy-saving mode when the building is unoccupied. Demand control ventilation adjusts the amount of outside air up or down, based on occupancy. All this, plus an open office plan that promotes collaboration, enhances workplace flexibility and infuses the space with natural daylight to improve sustainability and wellness.
CAPITAL PROJECTS SET NEW STANDARD FOR CONSTRUCTION: LEXINGTON, U.S.
At our Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, campus, we recently broke ground on a cell therapy manufacturing facility. The 38,000 square-foot building design incorporates solar panels, heat recovery pumps, electric boilers and energy efficient equipment, and it eliminates the need for additional fossil fuel-burning equipment. The campus is also completing a site utilities master plan to guide its roadmap to carbon net-zero by 2040.
EUROPE – GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION & LOGISTICS INITATIVE REDUCES CARBON FOOTPRINT
To reduce our logistic footprint and carbon emissions, we simplified our distribution flows through our regional distribution center network. We minimized the number of distribution centers from 53 to only 31 centers. In energy savings, this reduction is equivalent to powering 3,131 houses for a year. We also managed to increase our truck load fill from 60 to 85%, reducing the need for 250 trucks. This simplification process led to over 10% reduction of GHG emissions (20,000 tonnes CO2), which is equivalent to running 5.4 wind turbines for a year.

Sean Connery died. The legendary Bond had almost become a football player
The Oscar and BAFTA winner was 90 years old.
First Knight, Dragon Heart, Indiana Jones, Murder on the Orient Express or Anna Karenina. The charismatic Scottish actor has achieved a lot in his life. But his real breakthrough was the portrayal of James Bond. He introduced himself to the audience in seven spy thrillers.
Truck driver, lifeguard and model
Thomas Sean Connery was born in Edinburgh in 1930. He has never been one of the best students. He left school at the age of 13 and joined the navy three years later. Due to health problems, however, he didn't stay there long. He made his living by any means he could - driving trucks, working as a lifeguard and posing as a model at Edinburgh College of Art. Artist Richard Demarco, who often painted Connery when he was a student, described him as "too beautiful for words."
He decided to try his luck on stage
Connery also played football from an early age and he was pretty good at it! Manchester United even offered him a contract, which he refused. While working in the theater, he discovered his love for the stage, and the passion that would fuel his entire career was born. It was, as he later said,
"one of my most intelligent moves."
He started his acting career in 1954 with the film Lilacs in the Spring. Gradually, smaller roles in TV shows began to appear.
The first main role
In 1957, he got his first lead role in the film Blood Money, where he played a boxer. A year later, he appeared alongside American actress Lana Turner in the successful drama Another Time, Another Place.
His name is Bond
And then everything changed. Producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman acquired the rights to bring Ian Fleming's novels on cinema screens, and they were looking for an actor to play the Agent 007. Connery's portrayal had a certain sarcastic wit and it was unique. But the critics weren't too enthusiastic about it. The public, however, didn't share their opinion, and Connery's stellar career took off.
Oscar winner
Sean Connery won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in The Untouchables. He also received two BAFTA awards and three Golden Globes. The actor, once voted the "greatest living Scot", died in his sleep on October 31, during his stay in the Bahamas. He lived to be 90 years old.

Marshall Fleet Solutions To Move To Much Larger Head Office In Cambridge.
Head office relocation meets ambitious growth plans for 50th anniversary.
As part of the long-term business growth strategy for the Marshall Group, the Cambridge based company has announced that its expanding Marshall Fleet Solutions business will be relocating from their current Cambridge head office to much larger, and more modern, office premises, also within the city.
By October this year, the head office for Marshall Fleet Solutions will be based in the purpose-built office complex known as 'The Quorum', which is approximately 1 mile from the company's current head office site.
Announcing details of the planned move, Mark Howell, managing director, Marshall Fleet Solutions said, "This is a very important and exciting development for MFS, which clearly demonstrates the long-term commitment and investment by the Marshall Group to the future of Marshall Fleet Solutions. It is also a natural follow on from their recent investment in a brand-new management team here at MFS at the end of 2018."
Mark continues, "As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2022, MFS has already embarked on a period of change, by implementing an ambitious long-term growth strategy for the business. The move to this new spacious head office complex will give us a significant 40% increase in office space that will comfortably accommodate our future expansion plans."
The Quorum is situated approximately 2.3 miles to the east of Cambridge, within the City boundary, and conveniently located only one mile from the main A14 trunk road, connecting with the M11 at Junction 14.
"The Quorum already houses some of the wider Marshall Group companies and by joining them within this superb office complex, this will ensure that the company is at the heart of the Marshall business, alongside Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group and Marshall Motor Group," added Mark Howell.
Founded in 1972 and providing premium sales, service and parts support for the UK distribution industry, Marshall Fleet Solutions is the U.K.'s largest independent refrigeration (including installation), tail lift and commercial vehicle fleet service and support organisation. In 2022, the company will be celebrating its 50th anniversary.
MFS is the longest established dealer of Thermo King equipment in the UK, as well as being main dealers for most manufacturers of tail lift sold in the UK. Currently employing over 200 engineers, together with a national call centre in operation 24hrs a day, 365 days a year, MFS offers unrivalled breakdown support, repair and routine maintenance for transport fleet operators across the UK.
"Our head office relocation forms part of a series of recent breaking news announcements from our parent company, the Marshall Group, who have also confirmed their intention to relocate its world-class Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group (MADG). This is, in turn, inextricably linked to the Group putting forward its Cambridge Airport site for development as part of the next Local Plan from 2030+. All these exciting moves confirm the Marshall Group commitment to its business, its employees and to the growing city of Cambridge," concludes Mark Howell.

"I have had an inner compulsion to paint since I was fifteen, and I'm very aware of being free. I feel ready to spring off: I feel an upsurge, like a bird. And I'll paint until I drop.''
Sandra Blow was born in London and studied at St. Martin's School of Art, London, The Royal Academy Painting School, and the Accademia di Belle Arti, Rome. Between 1960–75, she was a visiting Tutor to the Painting School of the Royal College of Art, amongst her students, R B Kitaij and, David Hockney, her "golden boy".
Since 1951, she had numerous solo shows – including Tate St Ives and, most recently, at the Tate Britain (2005), and featured in many group exhibitions. Her works are in many public collections, including, The Tate Gallery, London, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and Leeds City Art Gallery.
She was elected Royal Academician in 1978, and Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art in 1983. In 1994 she moved from her studio in Chelsea to St. Ives, Cornwall where she lived and worked.
Her contribution to the development of post-modernist painting in postwar Britain is undisputed; the monograph, 'Sandra Blow' by Michael Bird (published by Lund Humphries), celebrates her life and achievements.

Subway Restaurants in Australia and New Zealand has launched its new brand direction with the tagline 'I Got it Made'.
According to Subway's senior marketing manager, Jodie Milini, the campaign focuses on the customisation aspect of Subways sandwich offerings.
"We are thrilled to be launching the 'I Got it Made' execution as this is a natural evolution for Subway to showcase the brand's unique customisation attribute while still being true to our core values," Milini says in a statement to Marketing.
The campaign launches this week and will feature in TVCs, outdoor and online.
It was developed with agencies Publicis Mojo, Ikon and Ripe Marketing.


Another long estuary tramp, being forced to seek temporary shelter, more assorted donations, an ancient university town, a sweet shop with over 600 jars on display, and savage terrain have seen me reach the end of the 132-mile Ceredigion coast path. I'm now poised to start my fourth Welsh path – the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
With no sea bridging-point at Aberdovey, it was a two day walk to go up to Machynlleth and down the other side of the Dovey estuary. Those two days could not have been more different. The route upwards took me onto a ridge overlooking Happy Valley in bright sunshine before more rolling hills appeared as I began the 'Panorama Walk' with glorious estuary views too. I briefly dropped down into a valley before striking up again through forests, later descending almost vertically into Machynlleth.
Here I was dwarfed by the town's famous landmark clock. Funded by public subscriptions, the clock was built in 1874 to celebrate the 21st birthday of Viscount Castlereagh: I just hope he appreciated the generosity of his neighbours and that he was always on time for any future appointments!
Next morning began grey and cloudy but strong winds soon blew in heavy rain, later turning to sleet. Despite walking in a dense forest I could get no proper shelter to turn my map. Being in a remote area, habitation was scarce so it was with relief that I came across a lone farmhouse. For the first time since the Victory Walk began, I was forced to knock on a door to seek assistance. Kate, the owner could not have been more helpful, inviting me in for a coffee while we removed the map from its cover and turned it; if I'd done this outside it would have become one soggy mess. She also provided a photocopy of a further section, placing it in a plastic wallet. I was now equipped for the rest of the day. Such a generous and thoughtful lady.
Later that day I was to meet another kind, helpful person. Yvette had joined the 'Wrens' as a communicator and been one of the first women to serve at sea in HMS Brilliant. Seeing my bedraggled state she helpfully made a chicken casserole for us to eat on that wild evening in Borth, followed by her mouth-watering bara brith cake. Next morning she arrived with a box of free range eggs before waving me off to Aberystwyth.
Regardless of the weather, walking conditions have certainly tested my resolve on more than one occasion. I experienced some roller-coaster cliff walking on my way to Aberystwyth and again towards New Quay further along the coast. The climbs have been severe, followed by plunges into deep ravines, before yet another ascent and the sight of more hills ahead. Windswept cliffs tower over remote coves, jagged rocks and mighty falls if I slip on the muddy paths strewn with hailstones. Treading carefully requires a reduced walking speed, which in turn affects distances covered and timings.
Arriving at Aberystwyth was certainly a landmark moment. An ancient market town and holiday resort, it is also home to the National Library of Wales and a university with interesting roots dating back to 1860. Then, there was a movement to establish a national University of Wales. People from across Wales made contributions, large and small, and by 1867 £10,000 had been raised to purchase the former Castle Hotel.
Known then as University College Wales, it opened in 1872 with just 3 staff and 26 male students. Twelve years later women were admitted, although initially the men and women students were not permitted to socialise or talk to one another. Today there are approximately 8,500 students at Aberystwyth University's new campus but I was lucky enough to walk by the Old College buildings and also witnessed the local custom of someone 'Kicking the Bar'; this is reputed to have originated from the university's early days.
This tradition involves people walking the length of the promenade and kicking the railings at its northern end. There are two theories about its origin. Firstly, male college students used to 'kick the bar' to attract the attention of female students lodged in nearby Alexandra Hall, once a female only college hall of residence. The other story is that all students were encouraged to walk the length of the Promenade to 'kick the bar' to get fresh air and exercise in order to reduce the spread of tuberculosis in the college. I believe the first story is more likely!
Recognising that the coast path guidebook has been written with terrain and local amenities in mind, I have continued to follow the suggested walking legs in the knowledge that the Victory Van can retrieve me at the end of each day. What hasn't been so easy is finding suitable overnight stops, as most campsites remain closed at this time of year.
As before, we have received practical assistance from various sources including the RNLI and Aberystwyth Sea Cadets, where we ended up staying an extra night – all thanks to the predicted snow which never arrived. Morrison's store at Aberystwyth was also kind enough to make a donation to the Victory Walk coffers, as did the lovely Wrens who later cheered me on at Aberporth.
Walking into Cardigan was a great moment, knowing I'd conquered my third Welsh Coast Path, the Ceredigion. I've now only three to go. The best part of the day was walking into the Yum Yum sweet shop which has 600 jars of sweets on display, a further 300 choices in pic 'n mix, and a 4 metre display of chocolates – reputedly the longest in Wales. I couldn't leave without clutching a bag of sweeties and I think I might never leave Cardigan!

The Tale of Lucia Grandia Tour: Guest Post + $50 GC and Book Giveaway

Recently a friend of mine who self-published a very good novel fell into despair and ranted that if she only wrote for herself she would quit. She doesn't want to be an "independent". She's bad at selling herself and hates it anyway. Her goal is to be published by a real publishing house. "I want an agent and deadlines and someone reviewing my work. I want someone to guide me through the industry, someone who will and help make me a better writer."
Her rant got me thinking about writers and their relation to the present day publishing industry. In a guest post I wrote for another blog, I discussed who exactly we write for. While it's foolish for a writer to sit alone in a room writing, totally unmindful of readers, I believe that we do in fact write for ourselves, because out of all the stories there are to write, we choose to write only those stories that we need to write. At the end of the day, we ultimately write for ourselves – but we always hope there are readers we can reach who see as we see, feel as we feel.
Gone are the days when an editor such as Maxwell Perkins could protect, nourish and transform a writer like he did with Thomas Wolfe. That was an era where writers were treated like divas. But clearly the world has changed and so has the world of publishing. With the small press revolution in the 70's and '80s and the rise of the internet and Amazon soon thereafter, the major publishing houses are now in retreat. Agents rarely consider manuscripts that aren't perfectly written and perfectly edited. Publishers will consider only writers who already have a following – who have already marketed themselves.
Today there are more opportunities than ever for writers. But in many ways it's also harder. It no longer matters how you get your book printed; previously, the only way was to have it accepted for publication from a real publisher. With Print on Demand and such services as Createspace, Lulu, Lightning Source, authors can usher their work into print themselves. The hard part now is getting readers to pay attention. The focus – and the challenge – has shifted to marketing. Admittedly, it's a difficult challenge with so many books being "published" either independently or by small presses that it seems like each writer is only shouting into the wind. But whether writers are published by "real" publishers or independently, unless the book is an instant success, they still have to market themselves. In today's publishing world, there's no escaping this.
There are so many services available now for writers can use to make their work professional – from editing and formatting and design services to writing groups where members read, review and critique others works in exchange for the same service. So do writers really need to be published by a "real" publishing house then? I don't think so.
Ultimately, as my friend lamented, the only one who can make a writer a better writer – is the writer herself. No agent, editor or publishing company will do that today.
Writers, then, should not look with envy upon authors published the traditional way. They still have to do all the same work that an "independent" has to do, including hawking their wares to the public. So if you don't publish with a real publishing house, don't despair – there are enough avenues for you to take so you won't perish…
About The Tale of Lucia Grandia
When an old woman is asked to tell the story of her life, she tells is an intense and poignant tale about growing up in and surviving an irrational, warring suburban family during the 1950s and 60s. The narrative is told from Lucia's perspective as the second child where she and her siblings are caught in the middle of a lifelong war between her mother, Ruth, an overbearing, unhappy homemaker, and her father, Leonard, a manipulative, sometimes violent New York City cop. Lucia is the silent, thoughtful eyewitness to her parents' constant and sometimes life-threatening battle.
The story is told as a memoir; each chapter describes a particular incident in Lucia's life which shows the constant struggle between her parents and the perverse effect it has on her and her siblings. From her complicated and unwanted birth, to her witnessing a suicide at age 3, to her stint as a runaway at age 14, the story progresses to the final crisis where as a young woman, she is turned out of her house and banished from her family forever.
