South Korea: Bolton 'Substantially Distorts Facts' Around Trump-Kim Summit
Posted on AllSides June 22nd, 2020
Add to My Front Page
South Korea is disputing former national security adviser John Bolton's account of President Trump's negotiations with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
Bolton has written a memoir of his time in the White House under Trump titled "The Room Where It Happened." The book is scheduled for release on Tuesday, though many excerpts have already appeared in the press.
A South Korean security official says that Bolton's version of the events surrounding three U.S.-North Korea summits that took place from June 2018-June 2019 is "distorted." In his book, Bolton claims that...

Well… Im a novice in this, but we have to start at some point, right?
Traditionally, the promotional artwork for books or movies always portray the main characters and some images like locations, enemies, etc… to offer the viewer a big picture of the stuff.
An unidentified misterious asteroid appears in earth´s orbit, creating tension in the already stormy political weather between the supreme potencies.
The asteroid appears to be the rest of a high evolution technology culture, an american physics scientific by the name of Patricia Vasquez is taken to the asteroid to try to unsolve the mistery on the last chamber inside the asteroid… a hallway several kilometers long, apparently infinite… bigger than the outside of the asteroid itself.
Further research shows that the asteroid is not an alien work… it was made by humans from the future after a nuclear war. Patricia has to discover how this asteroid is linked to the present.
Now, back to the idea… So, to me, to make a summary in just one frame of the whole story, the best image would be miss Patricia in her futuristic lab trying to figure out what the asteroid really is… this is a clear message, but we still dont "reveal" the whole thing, i want to send the message that this journey is just beginning.
So, in the concept art I draw the main character (it took less than 20 minutes and it shows ) in the location, figuring out if she should have floating screens, or a desk which is all screen… at the end i liked the idea of an intelligent map, like a hologram of the rock, reflecting all in her glasses, while she adopts a thinking pose… im still thinking about incluiding some esoterical symbols on the scene, to add drama to the role of Patricia.
I noticed the challenge on monday, so there`s no time to waste; I actually think about concepts while I ride on the bus to the office and start modeling during my lunch hour and late at nite.
I divided Patricia into parts because every part needs different amount of detail.
It was Mies van der Rohe who said "God is in the details"… I would say "Thank God for the ZBrush".
These images are raw polygon (from my first session modeling), next step will be to zbrush'em for the details.
Well, until today I was able to work some more. Some ideas are clearer, this is the modeling stage of the lab where I´ll sit Patricia to study the asteroid. One more analysis table and her chair are still to come to complete the lab geometry, but I felt the need of make this upload.
I added bevels on almost all corners, because the effect of the light is more pleasent and it renders nicer. I`ve notice that when modeling nothing should be as sharp as a knife, not even a knife.
Well, I went for the cyberpunk/anime look with Miss Vasquez; This is the first preview of the character. The model was built in Maya and then Zbrushed and textured.
D) Well, now open the Visor window and select the brush of hair that you want to apply; Now select one of the roots for the hair (one of the first lines that you draw) and go to the paint effects menu and then go to "Curve Utilities" and select "Attach Brush to Curves"… A stroke will be created in the scene, attached to the curve you selected.
Now select the curves attached to your root and again go to the Paint Effects menu and under "Curve Utilities" select the "Set Stroke Control Curves", the hair will be created. Repeat this process for the other (or others) root of your hair.
To adjust the length, shape, width and other forces on the hair, select the stroke and go to the attribute editor; under the brush name go to the "Tubes" option and open it, locate the "Behavior" option and open it too, then go to the option named "Forces" there modify first the "Path Follow" and "Curve Follow" to mold the hair, start increasing the values with small numbers… and voila, there you go.
Well, this is the first preview of Patricia. As I want her glasses to reflect the hologram on them, I made a very reflective shader for the surface, this is a test of the hair too.
This is the model of Patricia`s hand after texture. Then back in Maya I added the bones after looking for some reference on an anatomy book. I like to work on the hypergraph to make easier the process of selecting the bones to make the poses.
At last, the whole geometry on the same scene. Now I`ll start the texturing and lightning process, and look for some more angles to make the stablishment of the scene. this is a capture from the perspective viewport.
I wanted to post my first test render. I just added the textures and the hair. My next step will be to adjust the lightning and the composition. The lightning will tell me if I need to adjust any textures.
I like the reflections on the glasses… but I also think that the glasses distance the viewer from your character somewhat. If you're doing such a character-centric piece, you really want the viewer to associate with and relate to the main character… But sunglasses and mirrorshades keep the us from seeing the eyes (as they say, "the windows to the soul") and make the character come off as distant, unapproachable, and cool (in both meanings of the word.) It makes her feel more like a cyberpunk heroine than Patricia, but that's just my opinion.
But anyhow, the lighting is very cool (again, in both sensed of the word! ) Good luck finish it!
The main source of light is the hologram, for this I used a spotlight with the fog effect activated.
Next, I dragged 4 area lights: one comes from top to the face of Patricia, this is the more intense area light, in the style of the impressionism style; another area light is used on the side as a fill light and one more for the backlight.
I also added an ambient light for the overall.
This is the second to last step in the journey. Here Im making the color adjustments in Photoshop. Basically Im playing around with layers and blending modes and with the hue control to obtain the look that I want.
if you are going from left to right I like the one on the bottom left, though it makes her hair to red I think. I am guessing that is a hologram , the thing that looks like a chunk of ice? are you going to put an image in it that she will be looking at? I think it might more clearly define it if you do.
My setting of the story is on a dystopia. I went for the cyberpunk/anime look for my illustration and Patricia is the heroine of the tale.
Here we see Patricia in her lab, isolated from everything… trying to figure out what the asteroid really is.
I made her use glasses to emphasize her concentration (and because the reflections look cool). The blue flood of light is based on what that color represents: the confidence, strenght, technology and idealism.
Patricia`s hair color is a blend of different tones of red to represent the strenght, energy and leadership.
On the roof I added a kabbalah as an evolution metaphor (according to the kabbalistic cosmology, the tree of life corresponds to ten levels of creation), over Patricia`s head are the top most sephiras or states that represent the sublimest; what is completely incomprehensible to man (kether). The understanding (binah) and the wisdom (chokhmah).
As a final touch, I added some depth of field to center the focus on Patricia`s eyes… the human side slowly emerging over the science (the glasses).
Understanding is a human skill, not scientific.
Well, greetings to everybody. This is my first challenge and I learned a lot from it, can't wait to start working on the next one.

Safety warning around dam as alien clearing starts
The first section to be cleared will be from the dam wall and up the river towards pepsi pools and up to the service road above the dam.
Source George Municipality | Wednesday, 06 January 2021, 08:01
Garden Route Dam (file image)
GEORGE NEWS - Alien vegetation clearing above the Garden Route Dam is expected to commence next week (11 January) and public access to certain areas will be restricted for safety reasons.
George Acting Municipal Manager Michele Gratz said the long-awaited project was funded by the Cape Agency for Sustainable Integrated Development in Rural Areas (Casidra) and would see the clearing of alien vegetation such as blue gum, pine and wattle around the edges above the dam and upstream rivers.
"While essentially aimed at improving water flow and run-off into the catchment area of the dam for water security, the reduction of biofuel also decreases fire risk for nearby residences and plantations," said Gratz.
"However, while the contractors are on site, we appeal to the public to stay clear of areas that are marked as restricted due to the presence of heavy vehicles and dangerous equipment including woodchippers, chain saws and cutters – not to mention falling trees, snakes and other wildlife disturbed by the temporary commotion."
The contractor should be on site next week and clearing is expected to take place until February or March, depending on circumstances. Public access to the dam will be restricted depending on where the teams are working and on the kind of equipment and vehicles they are using. Access control will be applied at the main gate to the dam, the dam wall or access roads, whichever is most appropriate. Signage will be applied accordingly.
Map of the alien clearing around the dam.
The first section to be cleared will be from the dam wall and up the river towards pepsi pools and up to the service road above the dam. As this is a popular cycling and hiking area, an urgent appeal is made to outdoor enthusiasts to stay clear of all plantation and forest terrain, tracks and roads in this vicinity.
"While it may be temporarily inconvenient for regular users of the terrain to find alternative outdoor space for a while, the long-term benefits of less invasive species in their natural playground will reap its own rewards.
"While signage will be placed at as many points of access as possible, the area is not fenced, and the municipality will rely on citizens to help spread the word and to warn and discourage people from accessing the area. Ongoing messaging on several municipal communication channels will also take place.
"The municipality thanks residents and visitors for their support and patience during this project. It will be a temporary inconvenience but will provide longer term water security in a changing climatic environment," said Gratz.

Q: remove permissions _and_ digits after those permissions - from ls listing I am using my own generated 'script' to make recursive - yet - readable listings of my audio collection on HDD - I remove permissions from list, yet I remove 1st digit after permissions letters, and second - zero size digit right before date of folders.
Everything worked OK until I met something strange. First one is normal results I get from my 'script':

What is happening, why my 'script' works OK with one folder(s) and fails for other(s)?

Thanks are going to all silent Gurus, whose spiritual inspirations were so much helpful to me ;)

It's been two weeks since I took my last steps on the trail.
I miss it everyday. I'll admit, my biggest fear has yet to happen. I thought I would be rolling in post-trail depression the day I came off Katahdin, but I have been blessed with nothing but happy thoughts. Maybe it's because I have been keeping myself busy that I'm just running away from the inevitable feelings that will eventually grab me. Even thought I'm grateful my head isn't about to explode in grief from the absence of the trail, there are moments when I miss the trail and wish nothing more to get dirty.
Last night, I went to bed with muddy legs after mowing the lawn because I missed stuffing my mud-caked, dirty legs into my sleeping bag each night. I looked down at my legs, glanced at the shower only a few steps away, made the choice not to shower all the mud off and risk dirtying my nice, comfy bed. Even something so simple as mud brought the trail back to me for that one moment. It was then I realized I am not done being a thru-hiker. I will never be done being a thru-hiker.
I think my biggest fear is no longer post-trail depression, but adapting so quickly to societal life that I will soon forget all the memories and experiences that define the best era of my life.
I remember thinking after taking my last steps on the trail how looking back from Georgia to Maine almost seemed impossible. The whole experience appeared as a blur.
I just spent 6 months out in the woods where every day was a wild ride from sunrise to sunset – how can I only remember it as a flipbook? I realized I have to do something to keep these memories from slipping out of my mind. I have to keep writing about the memories and prevent them from getting lost in dusty file cabinets secured at the back of my brain.
I didn't take many pictures on the trail, mostly because my camera kind of broke before Erwin, TN after I stupidly took it out in the rain. I never really regretted something so much (both breaking my camera and not taking pictures, it seems). Sure, my camera sucked, but I would rather have crappy pictures than none at all. I scroll through my AT pictures so often, jogging my memory of the moments that were once so alive. But I can't help but ask myself – what about all those moments where I don't have any pictures? Can I still remember them?
I'm scared of forgetting so much. I'm scared of losing what the trail taught me. I'm terrified of re-emerging into society and thinking that maybe I do need all this "stuff." That maybe this AT hike was just a "phase" and that the "real" world will always be waiting.
I want to punch myself in the face anytime those scary thoughts pop into my head. But I'm afraid I might just end up with a big bruise.
I never want to forget the people that I met. There are so many times on the trail where I wish I could've turned back and told everyone how much I loved them and gave them a hug instead of just assuming I would see them again. Because for the most part, towards the end, I did never see them again. And while experiencing Maine on my own was a very unique and tough learning experience, I wish I had more closure with all the beautiful souls I met along the way. I wish I would've put more effort into the relationships I made along the trail, because in the end, what else truly matters? I can hike from Georgia to Maine, and that's wonderful, all wonderful, really, but if I can't share those memories with people, what did I truly learn about being out on the trail? To anybody I hiked with on the trail, I love you. And I hope to see you one day soon.
I miss being called Cider everyday. I even miss the wet shoes and socks and sitting on a rock and crying and all the trail magic and swatting at the stupid gnats and staying up past hiker midnight talking with friends and the gnarly climbs where I could barely breath and saying hi to everybody and feeling weird and awkward all the time but also feeling like I never felt more at home in the world. I want to remember all that I missed, even if it burns a hole in my heart. But I'm glad I don't have to feel sad about it.
The truth is, I am happy and relieved to be done with the trail, because it means I accomplished my dream. I am excited to see where the next chapter of my life will take me because I don't want to be living in the past.
But I know my backpack will be calling my name soon. My sleeping bag will appear in my dreams, begging to be used. My trekking poles will begin to prod my busy brain.
And I will have no choice but to drop everything and gladly adventure to the road I have yet to travel.


A stone's throw away from the ancient capital of Marwar, Mandore, and only 8 km from the city-center of Jodhpur, Balsamand Palace is a world away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The lake was engineered in the 12th Century but the exquisite red sand-stone palace came later; it was built by Maharaja Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur in the 17th Century, at the very zenith of Rathore Rule under the umbrella of the Mughal Empire. Set in a private estate of over 60 Acres, with sprawling orchards of lime and pomegranate and landscaped gardens criss-crossed by elegant waterways and even a aqueduct, the palace with its lovely promenade on the lake, was always more than just a residence; a pleasure palace in the finest Mughal tradition of the picnic. In more recent times a tradition has developed with the Royal Family celebrating the first rains in Balsamand; a custom that has led to the palace being referred to as a Monsoon Palace.

About 1.6 million domestic birds were vaccinated from bird flu in southern Russia
About 1.6 million domestic birds were vaccinated from bird flu in southern Russia, the information department of the Emergencies Ministry told Itar-Tass on Thursday. "The planned vaccination has begun in southern regions on March 10. For this period of time more than 1,580,000 birds were vaccinated, about 763,000 birds were vaccinated over the past day," the information department said. The Pokrovsky plant of biopreparations supplied 7,930,000 vaccines to the Southern Federal District. The Emergencies Ministry stressed that "this amount of vaccines meets the needs of the region." According to the information department of the ministry, the poultry vaccination is being conducted in all constituents of the Southern Federal District. The bird flu outbreaks have already been registered in Dagestan, Kalmykia, Adygeya, Chechnya, Kabardino-Balkaria, the Stavropol and Krasnodar territories and in the Astrakhan region. Meanwhile, the ministry noted that several bird flu fatal cases among wildfowl were also registered in North Ossetia. In all, about 33,000 domestic birds died or were slaughtered in southern Russia over the past day.

What Are Gravity Waves in Earth's Atmosphere?
Gravity waves and gravitational waves might sound the same, but they're actually very different. A gravitational wave is a physics term for tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time itself. Gravity waves, while slightly smaller in scope, are just as majestic; these rippling patterns in the clouds are caused by fluctuations in air density.
Earth's atmosphere consists of a number of different layers. These layers vary in air pressure and temperature. Earth's terrain isn't completely flat, so when these layers of the atmosphere move over a tall formation such as a mountain, they push against it. At the same time, Earth's gravity pulls the atmosphere downward. The effect is similar to the way waves crash against the shoreline, then retreat back into the ocean — the action creates ripples.
Gravity waves are especially visible when there's enough moisture in the air to form clouds. The altitude of Earth's terrain isn't necessarily the cause, either. For example, in June 2016, NASA's Earth Observatory spotted rippled clouds caused by gravity waves over the Namib Desert on the coast of Africa. These waves are caused by the cool air of the desert night moving out over the warmer, more humid ocean. The warm ocean air pushes upward, while gravity and cooling pushes the air downward. The resulting rippled clouds form several kilometers off the coast.
Viewed as a satellite image, the clouds create an amazing overlapping pattern that is especially visible over the dark ocean. According to Bastiaan van Diedenhoven, a researcher for Columbia University and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, this area off the coast of Africa frequently boasts these incredible cloud formations.
Gravity waves are a little closer to home than gravitational waves, but they are just as interesting. Studying the clouds is a great way for scientists to better understand our home planet.

Winnipeg's Movie Makeup King – Blanche Macdonald Graduate Doug Morrow
It's hard work conducting an interview with Winnipeg Professional Makeup Artist and Blanche Macdonald graduate Doug Morrow. It's not that he isn't charming and eloquent. Because he is.
The problem is that every five minutes Doug's cell phone rings and he has to pause the interview take it. The reason? He's expecting a call from actress Rebecca De Mornay. As key makeup artist for a long list of major movies, speaking with the stars is a regular occurrence for Doug.
"I always call the actors beforehand and check if there's anything special they need," explains Doug. "It's something I picked up when I moved back to Winnipeg from Vancouver. In actors' minds who can there be in Winnipeg who knows anything? So I call the cast to introduce myself as the key makeup artist to touch base and put them at ease."
That personal touch is one of the tricks of the trade Doug has learnt in his twenty years in the business. It's a career born from a passion for makeup and movies that started at a young age.
"When I was eight years old I saw the original Planet of the Apes movie," he recalls. "I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. The apes were really believable characters. I went to the library and got some books about stage and special effects makeup. A buddy of mine was really into movies and we would make our own. I'd do the makeup and we'd do stop motion animation. I'd always had the dream that I could work on the movies, even when no one was making them in Winnipeg. Even when I was at university I'd come home, go to the basement and make faces."
Doug moved to Vancouver in 1990 and decided that makeup was going to be his career as well as his passion. He took a job in a makeup supply store called Act One and began special effects legend Dick Smith's correspondents' course in movie makeup. The talent and enthusiasm were there. All Doug needed was a little formal training.
"I called Blanche Macdonald and it seemed like the place to go," he continues, "The people I talked to there, like Todd McIntosh, said that if I wanted to work in this business, especially in Canada, I needed to learn to do regular makeup, because that's what I'd be doing. That proved to be totally correct.
"The course I took was an Introduction to Beauty Makeup, which I had no skill in or had ever played around with. It was scary for me, but not that scary that it dissuaded me from wanting to keep doing it."
Job offers for the talented Blanche Macdonald graduate arrived quickly. ABC's cop series The Commish was his first major role, and it wasn't long before the movie fan was living his dream, getting calls from films like Look Who's Talking 3, Jumanji and Happy Gilmore.
"There's a scene at the beginning of Happy Gilmore where Happy is talking about hitting a big guy in the head with a nail gun. The next scene is Happy in hospital with a bandage on his head and a swollen eye. I made a couple of little appliances and applied them to Adam Sandler, who's a really great guy. When I was putting his makeup on he was pretending he was my grandma and was proud that I was finally working in the movies."
Winnipeg may not be a movie hub like Vancouver, but since returning to Winnipeg this Professional Makeup Artist's career has gone from strength to strength. He's head of the Winnipeg branch of the IATSE union and he's the first person producers call when they're filming in town. Doug was key makeup artist on movies like New In Town with Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr, Capote, where it was his job to accurately portray a brutally murdered family and more horror with 2009's Whiteout and A Haunting in Connecticut. His favourite task however, is the subtle art of aging actors, as he's done on a forthcoming series where he turned actor Jared Keeso into Canadian hockey icon Don Cherry.
"The Don Cherry series was hard," promises Doug. "There's all kind of period makeup and Jared plays Don from age 20 to 47. There was some kind of makeup or prosthetic effect I had to do every day. Every weekend I'd have to prepare and build appliances for the next week's shoot. And we were shooting with this new high definition digital camera called the Red cam, which shows everything. You have to be a lot subtler. You can't have a heavy hand. I used gelatine, as there was no way I could use foam latex on this kind of aging makeup. Foam latex has a tendency to crinkle, especially after it's been on the skin for a while. When you're doing a very subtle mid to late 40s aging makeup, that's different from doing an old-age makeup where the little wrinkles go with the rest of the face."
I'd always had the dream that I could work on the movies, even when no one was making them in Winnipeg. Even when I was at university I'd come home, go to the basement and make faces.
The technology may change but the basis of what Doug does, and why movie producers and stars keep calling, remains the same. It's advice he's happy to pass on to the next generation of makeup artists.
"The number one tip I can pass on is practice. I liken what I do to what a ballet dancer does. She practices every single day to be the best that she can, because it's so competitive and so many people want to do it. You have to keep up with all the new knowledge and all the new techniques. And the only person that can do that is you.
"Number two, come across as confident. I'm not saying I'm the best movie makeup artist in the world. I know I still have a ton of stuff to learn. But when an actor sits in my chair I give off this confidence that they can feel. And that puts them at ease. I want the actors to feel totally comfortable with what the makeup department are doing. They shouldn't have to worry about what they look like. All they should be concentrating on is their craft.
So often over the last seven or eight years producers have come up to me and told me that an actor really likes me and they're not worried about anything. That means I've won."
Doug Morrow continues to be a winner in Winnipeg. There's little chance of that changing anytime soon.

Along For The Ride at The Sea Otter Classic
Somehow, even into the 28th year of the Sea Otter Classic, the event continues to grow and pull in more exhibitors and athletes. It's a true melting pot of almost all of the cycling disciplines where regardless of whether you're riding flat bar or drop bar bikes, there's something for everyone. From competition to fun rides to the festival that features nearly every industry brand, as events go, the Sea Otter has no equal in North America.
For us, it was a busy week coming on the heels of our SES 3.4 AR launch and what better way to show off the wheel and get some miles on it than under the California sun? With a couple of cycling journalists, some of our pro athletes, in addition to a few of us from ENVE in tow, we rode 140 miles down the coast from San Francisco to Monterey–starting the week off in the best possible way, on the bike.
Sea Otter itself was full speed from Thursday through Sunday as we showed off our redesigned booth with interactive M Series, G Series, and SES displays, in addition to our new inflation station that was a hit with everyone wanting to dial in their exact tire pressure through our tire pressure guide and digital inflator.
What's the only thing better than hanging out talking about bikes? Actually riding them! So that's what we did on Friday and Saturday. Rebecca Rusch lead us on a 15-mile gravel ride on Friday, while Saturday's Gravel Grab with IRC tires and Sage Bicycles allowed us to offer a scavenger hunt style ride with some of the best singletrack the area has to offer. Riders went home with free tires, saddles, and even an ENVE Gravel Bar.
On the racing side, we had athletes competing in every discipline during the week, from downhill to the road race, and everything between. Cody Kelley of Alchemy finished in 5th in the pro downhill, while Christina Birch took third in the pro women's criterium. Giordana-Meteor X rider Kevin Girkins won the pro men's criterium the day after logging 142 miles with us on our way down the coast.

I have this rule that I can buy magazines only when I'm traveling. When I'm on the road, I have a permission to pick up any publications, even trashy tabloids, although I usually end up selecting my usual The Oprah Magazine and Real Simple (and maybe The New Yorker when I'm in the mood for some intellectual read).
Finally growing into my true self.
Breakfast (9:00 a.m.): Had a quick rice bowl with leftover Korean BBQ beef and seaweed salad for breakfast before the workout. I was halfway through the bowl when I realized that I forgot to take a picture.
Workout: Saori came over to my neck of the wood and trained me, Tiffany, and Shannon on Kangoo at Rose Bowl. She has wanted me to try this rollerblade-meets-trampoline exercise for several years but I resisted, until today.
It was a little difficult to get the hang of it at first, but it became super fun once I got over the fear. We ended up having an absolute blast! I think I'm officially a Kangoo addict. I can't wait to do it again on Wednesday!
Lunch (1:30 p.m.): After the Kangoo workout, we went to Le Pain Quotidien (our usual) for well-earned lunch. Instead of the usual bread basket, we split two chocolate croissants among the four of us.
I was still hungry so I had two pieces of bread with its homemade Nutella-esque hazelnut spread. I was in heaven.
Snack (5:00 p.m.): After I came home, took shower, and threw clothes in a washing machine for the second time, I had a small bowl of rice with squid kimchi and seaweed salad.
Dinner (7:30 p.m.): I realized that I ate just a little too much again today (despite the workout) so I decided to go light and ate shabu nabe with napa cabbage, mushrooms, onion, tofu, and five pieces of sliced pork for dinner. No rice because I already ate it for snack a few hours earlier.
It was a wonderful weekend. I'm looking forward to a great week!
And by "you' I mean "your", darn grammer check!
I love your six words, Shannon, so much! It's a reminder how lucky we are to have all that we have … and yes, we truly deserve all the happiness in the world! Thanks for sharing!
That's a good one, Remi! I love it! I think "everyday" is two words, but it doesn't matter! LOL. We make up our own rules, right! YEAH!
Very nice food photos. I wish I have this presentation.edge.

There is a proliferation of biographies of women who are described to be ingenious, adventurers, and rebels. While definitely laudable, there are a few issues that I am finding now, as I read more of them for our current reading theme. Here are two collections of such stories about fearless females, and some of my observations, both as a reader and a researcher.
ISBN: 1492653276 (ISBN13: 9781492653271). Borrowed a copy from the Jurong West Public Library. Book photos taken by me.
I am intrigued by stories depicting women, ostensibly from different parts of the world, because I am keen to look at representation. The first thing I did after borrowing this book from the library was to look at the table of contents and check from which countries these daring women come from.
The book is divided across three major categories: Daredevils, Adventurers, and Rebels. I would have appreciated a short description of how the authors/illustrators came up with their categorizations: what constituted daredevils, who are the adventurers, and rebels? Right now, the women could have fallen under any of these categories, as the labels seem fairly interchangeable, which does not really do it justice – because otherwise why come up with the categories in the first place.
I was also intrigued initially when I saw that there were women coming from Germany or Australia that I didn't know about. As I read through, however, I realized that even the women born in Nicaragua or Jamaica eventually became American immigrants and citizens. While there is nothing wrong with this obviously, the way that the women are depicted raises the polemical and oft-problematic issue of what constitutes where one is from: is it place of birth, one's ethnicity, where one currently resides, or where one grew up.
Most of the daredevils are also performers with the Barnum and Bailey Circus in the United States. In fact, there is a whole group of them that can fall under the Barnum category entirely. Again, nothing wrong with this – but still raises the issue of range of representation of what constitutes daredevils. This is where a Section Introduction would have helped tremendously in setting expectations.
I suppose one of the reasons why we can now nitpick these anthologies is because so many of them have come out in recent years – and once again, I see very few people coming from Southeast Asia – except for the occasional Japanese mountain climber or martial artist – as is shared here.
Regardless, I think that this remains a good collection that would benefit all young readers. Definitely more wordy than other anthologies of a similar theme, but still a worthy addition to your library collection.
ISBN: 0618195637 (ISBN13: 9780618195633). Literary Awards: IRA Children's and Young Adult's Book Award for Older Reader Category (2001), Society of Midland Authors Award Nominee for Children's Nonfiction (2001). Borrowed a copy from the Jurong West Public Library. Book photos taken by me.
There are only twelve ingenious women presented in this fairly-thin collection of biographies, but I found the story highly compelling, and the narrative flow suspenseful and ultimately triumphant – as the ingenious inventors made the public realize the worth of their creations.
I especially liked how Madam C. J. Walker was depicted in the Introduction. Born Sarah Breedlove, daughter of former slaves, Madam Walker eventually became a self-made millionaire through her hair care products.
The book also depicted the female inventor of Kevlar, the maker of Paper Bags, and the creator of the Windshield Wiper. I like how these are simple, but ultimately life-changing inventions that revolutionized safety, comfort, and the affordability of things that one can not imagine living without now.
I especially enjoyed direct quotes from female creators based on the creators' research on their lives. What I found mildly disturbing, however, was how a few creators mentioned getting their ideas from others, yet there was no indication of efforts being made to donate to a particular cause that inspired the idea in the first place. A case in point is the patenting and creation of Snugli which was inspired by Ann Moore's time in West Africa, and how the mothers snugly held their babies close to their bodies through these makeshift clothing (see image below).
While sales for the creation of Snuglis have reached millions of dollars, there was no mention of how these West African mothers may have benefited inadvertently from providing the inspiration to the idea.
Another interesting aspect of the book is that it also included very young female inventors. It also includes information on how one can go about patenting one's idea, as well as the many contests and camps, organizations that young people can be a part of to stretch their ingenious inventions further.
We have also just recently decided to come up with a monthly #ReadAlong given our quarterly reading themes. Please feel free to join us. I shall post an update somewhere at the end of the month to host a discussion of each book (which we will be linking up as well in our Twitter, Facebook Page, Litsy, and Instagram). Essentially, I intend to simply share my thoughts about the books – and hope that you will chime in with your own musings and reflections.
January: Crazy Brave by Joy Harjo – this choice was deliberate given the heinous events that have just recently transpired (Country: USA).
February: Sin by Forugh Farrokhzad edited and translated by Sholeh Wolpe (Country: Iran).
#WomenReadWomen2019: Apart from Livi Gosling who lives in the UK, all the other authors/artists are from the United States.
I would love to read both of these books. I'm going to see if we have either of them locally, Myra. Thanks for sharing!
I love having these types of anthologies available for my students, but it's never my preferred reading. I like a more in-depth story. It does seem like Girls Think of Everything might provide that, so I will definitely look for that one. (Also love the Melissa Sweet illustrations!) I've been meaning to read Crazy Brave forever–will try to get from the library this week and maybe finish this month?? I love the idea of your readalong and the theme and the books chosen so far!
I hadn't heard of the first anthology you shared, Myra & appreciate your review, as well as the points made for 'Girls Think of Everything' which I shared recently. I hadn't thought that some might use some of their success & profits to benefit those from whom the idea came, like the Snuglis. Perhaps they did, but you're right, no mention of it.
The cover of Girls Think of Everything is incredible – We love Melissa Sweet's illustrations. These short biographies would be fun to read aloud and good texts to pair with historical fiction texts. If kids could read about when particular items were invented, it would give them an interesting perspective and build background knowledge.
Thank you for your thoughtful reviews of these books Myra. I like that there are more books about remarkable women available for young readers. I recently read an article about how the language of capitalism influences what we read and fosters a mindset that ends up valuing corporations over people. Your comments on the second book remind me of this and that I need to find time to read Keywords: The New Language of Capitalism by John Patrick Leary. It will probably destroy my reading life at the same time as it enables me to read more critically.

After the portlet application is developed and its portlets packaged into a Web Application Archive (WAR) file, it is ready for deployment. In the context of WebSphere Portal Server, it means installing the portlet on the server for users to place onto a portal page.
Portlet deployment on the z/OS platform is a two step process that performs a configuration change to the Portal Server and additionally performs a change to the WebSphere Application Server.
To deploy portlets in WebSphere Portal on z/OS and OS/390 platform, you perform the following steps.
Administrative tasks on WebSphere Portal using the administration portlets for installing portlets. These require a user with portal administrative rights to login via a browser from the portal home page. This portlet deployment step generates job files in the z/OS Portal HFS directory structure for further administration steps to be done to WebSphere Application Server. Changes to the portal configuration are effective immediately but the portlets are not operational until the second step is performed.
This is different from portlet deployment on a distributed platform which does not have the second step.
Administrative tasks on WebSphere Application Server, where you install, update or delete portlets by running script WPAConfig and the jobs created in Step 1. The WPAConfig script searches for the jobs and executes them one by one in the sequence of their generation. After this step the portlets are operational on WebSphere Portal server.
If the Portal Server is running during Step 2 when executing script WPAConfig, it is stopped and restarted for each of the portlet deployment jobs it finds. Therefore, if you are deploying a large number of portlets from within a WAR file, we recommend you stop the Portal Server first, execute WPAConfig using one of the methods described later in this chapter, and then restart the Portal Server.
When the administration portlets in WebSphere Portal server are used to install, delete, or update a portlet they generate portlet deployment job files on the HFS file system on z/OS. These files contain descriptions of further administrative steps to be done in WebSphere Application Server. There is one file for each configuration step, which is referred to as a job. Usually this file is accompanied by further resources, such as a file containing the portlet binaries. The job descriptions in the job files consist of name-value pairs that are recognized by the WPAConfig script. The generated job files only support application type or apptype of war.
Although the ear apptype is recognized by WPAConfig script, it is officially not supported.
Table 6-1 shows the name-value pairs that WPAConfig recognizes and the context in which they apply.
Display name of the application needed when generating an EAR file to wrap a WAR file. For the DeleteApp action, this is the name of the application to delete.
Portlet deployment jobs are stored in a file hierarchy that is rooted in the portal temporary directory. The temporary directory is determined during installation of WebSphere Portal.
Generated by the administration portlet contains the jobs by date in the format yyyy_mm_dd. A job directory contains all the files that belong to a single job including the job file itself and the portlet's binary file that needs to be installed or updated.
Contains jobs and resources that have been successfully executed. Jobs are stored in the hierarchy when they were first generated.
Contains all those jobs that were not successfully executed. Jobs are stored in the hierarchy when they were first generated.
Contains all those jobs that the script found in the jobs directory at the beginning of execution and moved to work directory.
For each run, the script writes a log file. These log files have the same name as the conversation that is used to make changes to WebSphere Application Server. This name consists of a prefix, the date, and the time of execution.
In our project environment, for example, WebSphere Portal was installed in /usr/lpp/PortalServer/PortalServer.
As mentioned, WPAConfig.sh is the name of the script and is found in the <WPS_PATH>/PortalServer/zosinst/scripts directory.
Parses the arguments. If the optional parameter that determines the number of jobs to process is incorrect, it writes an error message and exits.
Builds global variables that are used throughout the script.
Searches for new jobs in the jobs directory and moves them into the work directory.
Looks in the work directory and checks for jobs. If there are no jobs, it exits.
Analyzes the job file to see what action is required.
If the action is CreateApp or UpdateApp, resolves the WAR or EAR file and deploys the portlet into the application server.
Moves successful jobs to the done directory.
If the deployment of an individual job fails, it moves the failed job to the failed directory.
Every step of the script is documented with messages that are written to the standard output and to a log file. When the script finishes, it exits with a return code that indicates whether or not it was successful. The return codes are shown in Table 6-3.
The WPAConfig script has one optional parameter, which must be a positive integer. This parameter determines the maximum number of jobs that are processed by the script. If the parameter is not specified, the script will process all available jobs.
There are two methods to execute WPAConfig.sh script when deploying portlets. The first is to run the WPACONF job that was used during installation to deploy the portlets installed with Portal Server, and the other way is to use the WPAConfig.sh script by telnet'ing to the z/OS UNIX environment.
Bring up the login portal page by entering the following URL in a Web browser: http://<HOST_NAME:8082>/wps/portal.
Log on to WebSphere Portal as a user with administrator rights, and via the Portal Administration GUI, install, delete, or update portlets as required. Make sure this step completes successfully.
Logon to a TSO session and stop WebSphere Portal via the command: /p <WPS_PROCNAME>.<WPS_SERVERNAME>A.
For example, we used: /p WSPORT.WSPORTA.
Submit the WPACONF job to deploy the portlets to the hosting WebSphere Application Server to make them operational. The JCL for this job was customized during installation; refer to Chapter 2, "Portal installation" on page 19.
For the file <WPS_PATH>/PortalServer/zosinst/tools/deploy/client_env, make sure it is configured to set up the correct client environment for using the System Management Scripting API of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS or OS/390.
This job runs the shell script WPAConfig.sh which installs the portlets on the application server.
Check the job log for successful completion.
From the TSO console, start WebSphere Portal via the command: /s <WPS_PROCNAME>.<WPS_SERVERNAME>A.
For example, we used: /s WSPORT.WSPORTA.
The startup performs naming registration for newly-deployed portlets and displays console messages about starting and completing the registration. Wait until the naming registration has successfully completed before using the newly deployed portlets.
Bring up the login portal page by entering the following URL in a Web browser: http://<HOST_NAME:8082>/wps/myportal.
Log on to WebSphere portal as a user with administrator rights and install, delete, or update portlets via the Portal Administration GUI. Make sure this step was successful.
Go to a z/OS or OS/390 console screen, stop WebSphere Portal via the command: /p <WPS_PROCNAME>.<WPS_SERVERNAME>A. For example: /p WSPORT.WSPORTA.
Log on to the UNIX System Services on the target system as a user with administrator authority for WebSphere Application Server.
Run WPAConfig. This will install, delete, or update the portlet, as the case may be, on the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS or OS/390.
From the z/OS or OS/390 console, start WebSphere Portal via the command: /s <WPS_PROCNAME>.<WPS_SERVERNAME>A,srvname='<WPS_SERVERNAME>A'. For example: /s WSPORT.WSPORTA. This startup performs naming registration for newly-deployed portlets and displays console messages about starting and completing the registration.
Wait until the naming registration has successfully completed before using the portlets.
First check that the processing of the job and script on z/OS was successful. Check the log files for error messages or warnings. The totals are displayed at the end of the log file as messages WP00047I and WP00048I. If there are warnings and no error messages, everything was, most likely, successfully configured.
Jobs that have errors are moved to the failed directory and not to the done directory. Therefore, after the problem is fixed, move the job from the failed directory to the jobs or work directory. Then re-run the WAPCONF job or WPAConfig script.
If everything was successful, go to a Web browser and bring up the default portal page, via the URL http://<HOST_NAME>:8082/wps/portal. If need be, login and navigate to the page where the new portlets are placed. If the portlets were placed on a place and page after Step 1 of the deployment process then they should now be visible without errors.

Why is gold considered so precious and why does it have such high prices?
Arthur E. answered • 05/11/19
National Geographic Education Coordinator
As far back as man has been known to exist, he has considered gold precious. It was probably the first metal known to man.
One reason primitive man was drawn to gold was that it can be found in the free state, which means pure gold can be found in small lumps (called "nuggets") uncombined with other metals or rocks. Since it has a bright yellow color and a shiny appearance, even the earliest man liked to possess it and make ornaments out of it.
The value of gold increased when people realized that it is the most easily worked of all metals. A nugget of gold is easily hammered thin and is flexible enough to bend without breaking. This means that early man could fashion gold into any shape he wished. At one time, for instance, it was used for hoops to bind the hair. Out of this came the idea of crowns and coronets made of gold.
The supply of gold that can be obtained easily from the earth is very limited. Soon people who couldn't find their own gold offered to exchange other things in return for some gold. That's how gold came to be a medium of exchange. While other commodities were perishable, gold was not, so it became a means of storing value for the future, and a measure of value, as well.
Centuries later, gold was made into coins as a convenient way of indicating the weight and fineness of the metal, and thus its value. Later on, bankers would keep the gold itself in their vaults for safety's sake, and give a written pledge to deliver the gold on demand. From this practice, governments began to issue currency, or money, that was also simply a pledge to deliver a certain amount of gold on demand.

We can't talk about brain health without looking into our gut and recognizing the relation between the brain and everything gut related. What happens in your gut/GI tract is essentially what happens in your brain. This has scientists calling the gut the 2nd brain! The gut and the brain are in a big time romance. They are entwined and can effect all of our bodily health, including brain function and how we feel everyday.
You've heard the term "having a gut feeling," and well, it's definitely something you can pay attention to. Our brains have hundreds of millions of neurons connected to our nervous system which control our gastrointestinal system.
What's even more amazing is that within the GI tract, it is estimated this is where 80-90% of the body's serotonin is made (that happy hormone!) So the brain operates our bodily functions, but the gut can also send messages to the brain.
Not convinced? Think about how certain foods affect how you feel, like chocolate. Chocolate releases endorphins in our gut and sends that "feeling good" message to our brain. Of course this can work the opposite way too. High fat processed foods for instance, can make us feel tired and sluggish. There is so much going on in brain-gut connection that I really encourage everybody to take note of how foods make them feel and maybe even keep a journal for reflection and assessment. This is obviously such a complex system, so if you are keen to research more, you might like this research manuscript I found that really delves into exactly how food controls the brain and cognitive health. It's a big read but very interesting!
So to aid our gut health, which would also aid brain health is to not only eat healthy "rainbow foods" that I spoke of in the first part of this series, but also by adding fermented foods and kombucha into your diet. Both of which are perfect for assisting in balancing the gut flora. We have billions of bacteria living in our body, so we want to be sure that there is enough strong, good bacteria in there to keep viruses and fungi away. Which also helps to prevent disease. Adding 1 or 2 servings of kombucha or fermented foods daily can have a huge impact on your overall well-being, especially, of course on your brain health!
If you are interested in learning more about kombucha and even how to make your own, we have two upcoming workshops with Wolseley Kombucha. You can register here. Or you can always purchase a growler from us and fill it up at our Wolseley Kombucha tap, in-store!

Increase quantity for A Capitalist In North Korea
Business in North Korea: a paradoxical and fascinating situation is interpreted by a true insider.
In 2002, the Swiss power company ABB appointed Felix Abt its country director for North Korea. The Swiss Entrepreneur lived and worked in North Korea for seven years, one of the few foreign businessmen there. After the experience, Abt felt compelled to write A Capitalist in North Korea to describe the multifaceted society he encountered.
North Korea, at the time, was heavily sanctioned by the UN which made it extremely difficult to do business. Yet he discovered that it was a place where plastic surgery and South Korean TV dramas were wildly popular and where he rarely needed to walk more than a block to grab a quick hamburger. He was closely monitored and once faced accusations of spying, yet he learned that young North Koreans are hopeful-signing up for business courses in anticipation of a brighter, more open, future. In A Capitalist in North Korea, Abt shares these and many other unusual facts and insights about one of the world's most secretive nations.

About Lake County
Lake County is a county located in the north central portion of the U.S. state of California, north of the San Francisco Bay Area. It takes its name from Clear Lake, the dominant geographic feature in the county and the largest natural lake wholly within California (Lake Tahoe is partially in Nevada). As of the 2010 census, the population was 64,665, up from 58,309 at the 2000 census. The county seat is Lakeport.
Lake County was formed in 1861 from parts of Napa and Mendocino counties, but the area had settlers from at least the 1840s. Lake County has long been known as a farming community. Vineyards were planted in the 1870s. By the early 20th century the area was earning a reputation for producing some of the world's greatest wines. However, in 1920, Prohibition ended Lake County's wine production. Most of the vineyards were ripped out and replanted with walnut and pear farms.
Lake County has habitats for a variety of species of concern including the uncommon herb, Legenere limosa, the rare Eryngium constancei, and the tule elk. Waterfowl, bear, and other wildlife abound in the Clear Lake basin.
"Lake County leans Democratic in Presidential and congressional elections. The last Republican to win a majority in the county was Ronald Reagan in 1984. Lake County is split between California's 3rd and 5th congressional districts, represented by John Garamendi (D–Walnut Grove) and Mike Thompson (D–St. Helena), respectively."

Lviv chase Europa Cup
Karpaty Lviv vs Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, Ukrainian Premier League,
28 March at 18.00, Ukraina Stadium
Lviv's talisman side Karpaty go into this crucial clash with fellow Europa Cup qualification chasers Dnipro with the West Ukrainian side lying in 6th place, just outside the European berths. They are level on points with 4th placed Dnipro and will be looking to build on a formidable recent run of form which has seen the Lviv side win three of their last five games, including a vital home win over high-flying Metalist Kharkiv. Thanks to Ukraine's strong showing in European competition in 2009 (Ukraine provided the UEFA Cup with three quarter finalists, two semi-finalists and the eventual winners), Ukraine has been awarded an additional berth for the 2010-11 season, making this the ideal opportunity for Karpaty to break their decade-long European exile. Lviv have not enjoyed a European campaign since the team's dismal first round exit from the UEFA Cup in 1999 and the fanatical supporters who form the core of the Karpaty Ultras would like nothing better than to be able to plot out a European strategy for the coming autumn campaign. If Lviv are to qualify for European football next year they will have to beat sides like Dnipro, making this game hugely important for the West Ukrainian standard bearers. With a side crammed full of young Ukrainian talent, a European breakthrough could provide Karpaty with the momentum required to push the club towards a level of achievement more in keeping with their status as the leading club side in Right Bank Ukraine
Rock'n'Dog: Fresh Ideas in the Ancient City


Even a few years ago, these milestones in LGBT rights would have been inconceivable. Homosexuality was illegal in Ireland until 1993; despite the growing secularization of the country and numerous revelations of church-sanctioned abuse, religion remains a powerful political force. A Dubliner friend of mine tells the story of a priest suffering a heart attack in a cruising sauna and being dragged out in the street to die, rather than face the ignominy of an ambulance being called to a gay establishment. And for me, a queer trans boy growing up in Northern Ireland in the 80s and 90s, at an all-girls' school in a country at civil war in which queer sexuality and non-conforming gender identity were simply not on the discursive barometer, the rapidity of this joyous change is overwhelming. Across the border from the Republic, on that tiny island, my own country remains the only part of the United Kingdom to disallow gay marriage. And as the pernicious influence of religious conservatism wanes, there is still so much ahead of us.

Q: How to stop xss in JSON result in ASP.Net MVC 4 We have an action on our controller that returns a json result with an id and a name.  We then take that and do this..
    var markup = '';
    for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        markup += '<option value="' + data[i].id + '">' + data[i].agentName + '</option>';
    }

    $("#agentId").html(markup);

The + data[i].agentName + opens us up to an xss attack so I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this scenario.
So far my "best" option seems to be to see if I can use the AntiXss library on the server side and encode the agentName before I return it.  I say "best" because (as of 5/14/2012) the AntiXss library is getting a lot of hate so I'm not in love with the idea of using it.
Any other options?
Update
<select id="agentId"></select>

Is how I build the select element I'm going to be adding to..

A: You should build DOM elements using jQuery and call text():
$("#agentId").empty().append($.map(data, function(obj) {
    return $('<option />').val(obj.id).text(obj.agentName)[0];
}));

A: Have you tried knockout.js?
It's got a great built in binder that populates your select elements with json data.
