If you have ever heard my Ode to My Ex-Boyfriend Reggie haiku….. well, here is a little into the background of why he got such a beautiful poem from me. Recently, something happened and it made me think of this particular situation and I felt that it was time for me to share it. I believe that circles happen in your life because there was something that you were supposed to learn something you missed the first time around or to see if you actually learned, kind of a test the second time around. lol. Well, I want to live to be well into my thirties and I know that I will not fall into the same cycle again. Fellas, when your lady is constantly asking about something…..usually there is a reason. And if it is about your health, you should be happy that your woman cares enough about herself and you to ask such questions.

DDoS Attack on GitHub Linked to Earlier One Against GreatFire.org
Author: Dennis Fisher
The ongoing DDoS attack on GitHub, which has made the social coding site intermittently unresponsive since March 25, is essentially a side effect of an older operation from the Chinese government against a site run by the anti-censorship project GreatFire.org.
Officials at GreatFire said that the attack on their infrastructure began on March 17 and involved essentially the same techniques employed in the attack on GitHub. Unlike a typical DDoS attack, these operations don't involve specialized attack tools. Instead, the attacks on GitHub and GreatFire use traffic hijacked from unsuspecting Internet users around the world that is then sent to the targets. The traffic hijacking is done through the use of Javascript Baidu Web analytics code placed on thousands of sites, and when a user visits a page containing the code, the code makes a request to Baidu's network inside China.
According to an analysis of the attacks by researchers at Swedish vendor Netresec AB, that's where the Chinese government intervenes.
"The web browser's request for the Baidu javascript is detected by the Chinese passive infrastructure as it enters China. A fake response is sent out from within China instead of the actual Baidu Analytics script. This fake response is a malicious javascript that tells the user's browser to continuously reload two specific pages on GitHub.com," the analysis says.
That tactic is virtually identical to one used in the attack on GreatFire earlier in March, GreatFire officials said.
"Millions of global internet users, visiting thousands of websites hosted inside and outside China, were randomly receiving malicious code which was used to launch cyberattacks against GreatFire.org's websites. Baidu's Analytics code (h.js) was one of the files replaced by malicious code which triggered the attacks. Baidu Analytics, akin to Google Analytics, is used by thousands of websites. Any visitor to any website using Baidu Analytics or other Baidu resources would have been exposed to the malicious code," the Great Fire analysis says.
The root cause of both attacks appears to be the Chinese government's dislike for the content on GreatFire, which provides anti-censorship tools and monitors censored sites and keywords inside China. When the DDoS attack on GreatFire began, the group began mirroring some of its content on its GitHub page and pointed users to it. The DDoS attack traffic then began flowing toward GitHub, aimed directly at the GreatFire mirror URL and another URL that hosts Chinese content. Malicious Javascript is being used to hijack users' traffic and send it to the GitHub pages.
GitHub officials have been working to mitigate the effects of the DDoS attacks, with varying degrees of success. The latest status update from GitHub on Tuesday morning shows that the service is operating normally at the moment. GreatFire officials have published a detailed report on the attack, and have concluded that the Chinese government is behind both DDoS attacks.
"When we first blogged about this attack we did not want to level accusations without evidence. Based on the technical forensic evidence provided above and the detailed research that has been done on the GitHub attack, we can now confidently conclude that the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is responsible for both of these attacks," the GreatFire blog post says.
Researchers say that JhoneRAT has various anti-detection techniques – including making use of Google Drive, Google Forms and Twitter.
The WeLeakInfo "data breach notification" domain is no more.
Are publicly released proof-of-concept exploits more helpful for system defenders — or bad actors?
Matt H on March 31, 2015
If a cyberwar broke out, would the world even notice? There may be digital forensics to prove attacks were committed, but will we ever be able to attribute the attacks to a governmental organization? And, many doubt that it is war if the target isn't directly the assets of another countries government.
whois on April 1, 2015
The fact that they are not bothering to hide the source of the attack, coupled with the fact that they are only using 1% of this particular capability means this is the tactical equivalent of lasing your target. Github is a nice neutral ground to do something like this because it leaves room for the US government to save face and say that it can do nothing, and since it's a civilian website, not necessarily a 'national security' issue. The Greatfire tools that are being attacked probably pose no more threat to the Chinese government than does Tor to the US.. it's just a fish barrel where proto-revolutionaries can be identified and tracked before they become an actual problem.

The CILIPS Conference is always jam packed with attendees, all contributing, by presenting, exhibiting, engaging and networking, from a diverse range of sectors from the library and information world. This year's conference proved to be as lively as ever, with the apt theme of 'Making Connections'.
As I had arrived early I attended the optional workshop led by the Scottish Poetry Library. The aim was not a challenge for each of us to produce a poem, but to look at various poems, recite some of the lines to each other, and in the process, to learn the importance of the power of words and language, and how important it is for all of us to take time out from our busy working lives, during each day for some quiet reflection – very therapeutic and sound advice for personal wellbeing!
The CILIPS AGM, included presentation of Student Awards. Most unexpectedly, along with several other CILIPS members, it was announced that we had received Honorary Memberships. These awards will be presented at the CILIPS Autumn Gathering on 20th October 2016 in central Glasgow, so shall look forward to being there and to attend some more of the lively presentations.
A Special General Meeting then followed, to change the legal form to an SCIO, and this was agreed unanimously by attendees.
The programme included a mix of Keynote and Parallel break out sessions. Highlights for me includedLibraries: Making communities smarter through connections presented by Jan Holmquist, Assistant Library Director, Guldborgsund Libraries, who shared his experiences of his initiatives and involvement in various international projects, like the Buy India a Library project, and 23mobilethings.net, by making personal connections with LIS professionals, through social media. Jan encouraged us all to be globally inspired and then to translate this to a local basis, and to share and adapt ideas via this approach.
Ross McCulloch, Director, Third Sector Lab, gave a very practical presentation on Thinking strategically about social media, and asked attendees to give a show of hands if we already had a social media policy and strategy in place. The number of hands was on the low side so Ross stressed how important it is to have these in place, and he gave us plenty of useful links to resources we could use and adapt, rather than re- invent the wheel.
Personal Learning Networks by Donald MacLean, College Librarian, Perth College UHI and the CILIP Virtual Learning Environment by Luke Stevens-Burt, Head of Business Development (Member Services), CILIP, was a very useful and practical session on the free online learning opportunities that are available to CILIP members, which contribute to CPD and to accreditation.
The closing Keynote from Stuart Hamilton, IFLA's Deputy Secretary General, Libraries, development and thebigger picture: what will the post-2016 information environment look like for libraries? was broad ranging, and discussed how professionals and institutions can use the ambition of the Sustainable Development Goals to support and develop long-term sustainable information environments.
Recordings of the keynote sessions will be made available within the next month.

Lie prone on mat. Place forearms on mat, elbows under shoulders. Place legs together with forefeet on floor.
Raise body upward by straightening body in straight line. Hold position.
Muscles are exercised isometrically. Exercise can also be performed with straight supporting arms in pushup stance. Also see Spot Reduction Myth.
Movement can be made easier angling body up on elevated platform or bench. Exercise can also be performed on bent knees instead of forefeet.
Exercise could be made more challenging with added weight (eg: sandbags, partner) on hips or low back, although it is rarely performed in that manner. Raising one foot up off floor can also make holding this position more difficult. Stability Ball Rollout requires more shoulder strength.

College Radio Focus: YOUR MOVE at WMLU
Posted on September 16, 2019 September 16, 2019 by collegeradioday
By Dave Sarkies
One of the great things about college radio is the variety of programming. Particularly when it comes to music. Tune in for more than a few hours and it's not unusual to hear a variety of genres on back-to-back shows. Sometimes, the diversity of music can be heard within the confines of just one show. Take for example Your Move, a program hosted by Ian Danielsen and Mark Kernohan at Longwood University's WMLU in Farmville, Virginia.
The show got its start after Ian, an Assistant Professor in Longwood's Social Work program and a former social work practitioner, settled in at the university and his thoughts turned to some bucket list ideas. "I tried to conceive of a show that people would find fun that's kind of a celebration of music, where the storytelling would be rich, and Mark is a fantastic storyteller. I figured people would enjoy the dialogue."
"It was really Ian who had the idea," Mark jokingly concurs, "and I followed along willingly." Ian agrees but notes he had Mark in mind as a co-host from the get-go. "Mark is the one who got to see all the cool bands back in the day. If we're talking about Yes or Jethro Tull or Todd Rundgren or The Who, Mark's got fabulous stories of sort of his experiences with those bands."
For Mark, not only was he a natural pick for co-host, he's also been a college radio fan for years. Good qualifications for someone who's the only non-university employee or student associated with WMLU. "I'm the outcast," he muses.
The two connected when Ian would stop at a local brewery Mark managed. "The best thing about owning a brewery is that you get to pick the music that's played," Mark jokes. He says there must have been something about it because when a great song would come on, Ian would light up and rattle off fascinating details regarding the bands and songs. "'Man, that's a great song,'" Ian says, mocking his on-air partner. "'Did you know that was recorded in '73 and they had just gotten out of rehab…?'"
Considering their knowledge of classic rock, it's fitting the show's name was inspired by a section of the Yes classic "I've Seen All Good People" entitled "Your Move". The name was apt not only because Ian and Mark both enjoy prog and classic rock from bands like Yes and others of the era, but also as a nod to the show's concept. "The rationale behind Your Move is that while we didn't want to do an all request show, we wanted listeners to have some input," Ian explains. "We want people to contribute to themes and categories we select."
Ian points out that while the show often hearkens back to bands like Crosby, Stills & Nash, Pink Floyd and others, it's not a classic rock show. It depends on the theme of the week and suggestions listeners make. "We did a world music show. Somebody who's part of the Facebook group suggested it and we got over 200 suggestions. The problem was picking from so many," Ian remarks. "We had an hour of music with no English language songs," Mark adds.
"The audience really helps us. I'm good at the '70s, '80s and '90s, but getting into this century I'm pretty clueless, so our audience helps us out a great deal," Mark confirms. Even if songs aren't played on the radio show, listeners have fun contributing suggestions on the Facebook group. "I think people have nostalgic moments, like 'I forgot about that song by Paper Lace, "The Night Chicago Died"' – it's fun to make that connection with listeners," says Ian.
"The challenge comes in filtering it down," Mark points out. "Because then there's the dialogue between us." Ian adds, "We did a show on Woodstock for the 50th anniversary last month and we found ourselves with a whole lot to talk about." The same was true of the next show planned, celebrating great movie soundtracks, as movies always lend themselves well to discussion.
"Sometimes it's like, 'We have these 200 suggestions… Where do we go?'" So, I pick some music, Mark picks some music, and it's fun to see where the nexus is, where the lines cross. Other times it's like, 'Wow, I would've never thought you'd like that one!'"
Some categories are genre based, like recent prog rock and folk-rock themed shows, while others are more open-ended. Some members of the Facebook group suggested songs with street names in the title, a category that can pull in an unlimited number of genres, resulting in more variety. Some shows are more narrow while others are more broad, but both can be great fun. Mark describes it rekindles old memories. "I relate it to as a kid, getting a new album, breaking it open, reading the liner notes, and putting the needle on the record for the first time."
Ian points out that the varied suggestions from across genres has led he and Mark to broaden their musical horizons, which is exciting personally. "It seems like every show I get turned on to something I'd never heard before or had an inkling about and got to go deeper because of what somebody shared," he contends. "Over the summer I made it a point to deepen my experience with early Genesis – Peter Gabriel era Genesis. Mark and some Your Move members helped. As for newer music, the all-woman band Mountain Man, and Sylvan Esso, which is kind of like songwriter music meets techno. So yeah, genres that I was underexposed to and stuff that I had heard of… Your Move helped me go deeper."
Though relatively new to WMLU's airwaves, Your Move has become quite popular with listeners across the university and Farmville communities. "People stop me and say, 'Really good show last night,'" Ian notes. And you can see the evidence of its popularity in the activity on the show's Facebook page.
WMLU came on the air in 1981, and there's a lot of loyalty to the station among students and faculty. The current faculty advisor at the station was himself a student DJ many years ago. Ian and Mark say the students run the station professionally and democratically. "The students run the station like a business and we see great student commitment and loyalty. It's a top tier student organization, so they get a little more autonomy. Student board members are expected to work hard. And they do. I've never seen such love for the station and commitment to keeping it going."
Mark agrees, adding that WMLU serves students who want to get their feet wet in the industry for jobs down the road, teaching them how to run the board and do remotes, while also serving the community with university, local and national news and university sports.
Even with music programming, hosts don't get to do a show unless they can demonstrate what they'd like to play fills an unmet need. "From a musical diversity standpoint, I've never seen a higher standard," Ian insists. "It's a very special radio station."
Ian and Mark view the medium of college radio in much the same way. "I look at it as indispensable," Ian asserts. "Young people having a voice on the airwaves, sharing music outside the corporatocracy."
That's what it's about.
If musical diversity is what it's about for you, check out WMLU. And if you enjoy your music diversity concentrated into a 60-minute celebration, you can find past episodes on SoundCloud, or tune in online at wmlu.org, or at 91.3 FM in the Farmville, Virginia area, Wednesday nights from 7-8.
It's your move.

Q: Field due to induced charges in and out of a conductor with a cavity that contains a charge inside I want to know the proof for the following statement:-
The net electric field due to the "induced charges on the surface of the cavity and the charge inside the cavity" is zero everywhere outside the cavity.That is if the charge distribution of the surface of the cavity and the charge inside were imagined to be isolated and with the same configuration the net electric field outside it would be zero .

A: Perhaps one can think this way: When you place a, say, positive charge in the cavity, what happens is that the electric field generated by it spreads around. This field drives the positive charges on the surrounding conductor away from the center, and attracts the negative charges towards the center. This seperation creates an internal field which counterbalances the inducing field exactly (otherwise, the process continues to go on), making the total field inside the conductor zero. Use Gauss's theorem on the graph you draw will know that total Q inside should be zero, and negative charges should exist on the internal surface.

A: The electric field inside a conductor must be zero so the net charge within the Gaussian surface must be zero.
Thus the charge $+Q$ must induce a charge of $-Q$ on the inside of the conductor.
If the conductor was originally uncharged then this in turn must lead to the conclusion that the charge induced on the outside of the conductor must be $+Q$.

This arrangement is a capacitor with zero electric field outside the capacitor.

A: Is possible to give a proof of this statement (See Griffiths pag. 121):
In a volume $V$ surrounded by conductors the electric field $\textbf{E}$ is uniquely determined if the total charge on each conductor is given.
Now consider your example. I want to know the field due to the charge inside and on the surface of the cavity in a point $P$ external to the cavity. What happens if I let expand the outer surface of the conductor? The charge on the conductor remains the same (zero) and also the cavity remains the same (its shape), so the field inside the cavity doesn't change, thanks to the theorem.
There's more, also the charge configuration on the cavity surface doesn't change because of
$$
\textbf{E} = \sigma/\epsilon_0 \textbf{n}
$$
on the inner surface of the conductor. So the situation in the cavity is exactly the same as before.
But we can enlarge the outer surface as we want, such that the field due the plus charge outside evaluated in $P$ goes to zero (if the outer surface is far away) and $P$ is now inside the conductor. So we are in the same situation of your answer but we have eliminated the contribution from the outer surface. Since $\textbf{E}$ in $P$ is zero (we're now inside the conductor), the field due to the charge inside and on the surface of the cavity is zero.

Cliff Mass (meterologist, and a smart man with a consistently different take on global warming issues), makes an interesting point in a recent post: By focusing on global warming as a moral issue (and from his perspective, using scare tactics about the weather to promote concern) environmental activists are failing to convince the public to make needed changes now. Instead, we should talk about sustainability–switching the conversation to how to adapt to climate change and preserve out lifestyle better, less destructive, technologies.
1. Since substantial global warming is certain, we must prepare society for inevitable changes. That means adaptation and making society more resilient. For Washington State, the probably means more storage of water during the spring, since snowpack will be less. Getting folks away from rivers that will flood more often. Fixing the damaged forests of eastern Washington.
2. Global warming is a technological problem and technology is our only hope. New energy sources, better energy storage, ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, safe nuclear and new energy technologies that we can't imagine today. But developing these technologies will require substantial investments for research and development on a much larger scale than occurring today….
3. Society should use cost effective energy-saving and renewable technologies that are cost effective today, like more efficient appliances, high-mileage and electric cars, smart devices, and better insulation in buildings, better mass transportation, and others. They may not solve the problem, but they will help.
4. Environmentalists have hurt themselves by being fixated on global warming. They, and their political allies, should broaden their view to think about sustainability.
He could not. Musing, I can offer one example: Joseph's warning to Pharaoh above 7 drought years.
I can think of one example, in our own society, that might be a model of where to go from here: Our response to discovering chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) destroy the ozone layer of our atmosphere. It was a new problem, borne out of relatively new technologies (aerosol cans and refrigeration) people loved, involving damage to a relatively abstract thing (a particularly layer of the high atmosphere), with long-term concequences but relatively few immediate concequences to those in areas with the most emissions. A proper response to the problem required the worldwide banning of the use of CFCs. In many ways the challenge of CFCs is quite similar (and in fact intertwined with) the problem we face with carbon emissions. Surprisingly, we've been modestly successful at this challenge.
How have environmentalists been more successful saving the ozone layer than combating global warming?
Viable alternatives were available, in part because of direct scientific work by environmental NGOs. Greenpeace funded development of replacements for CFCs, Hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs. Your car's AC probably uses HFCs rather than CFCs. Despite aggressive propaganda, even domestic refrigerators are slowly transitioning over as well. The response by key environmental groups to ozone depletion was a sustainability focused one. In addition to education, a sustainable alternative was researched, vetted, and promoted.
With the revelation that Exxon knew about climate change since the late seventies, we know that such a response is unlikely to come from the industry heavyweights. Much like the railroad companies thinking of themselves as rail not transportation companies, energy-industry heavyweights think of themselves as fossil-fuel companies, not energy companies–and devote their significant resources to propaganda to prop up their fatally flawed product, not R&D into sustainable energy (despite having all of the needed basic scientific knowledge about solar, wind, and nuclear power to be successful). It's an opportunity.

Q. 'Fine dust' vs. 'ultrafine dust'?
A particle of "ultrafine dust," or particulate matter 2.5 is smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. The width of PM2.5 is about 30 times less than that of a human hair.
"Fine dust," or PM10, is particulate matter 10 micrometers or smaller in diameter.
In South Korea, the average level of PM2.5 was 25.1 micrograms per cubic meter in 2017, the worst among 35 member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The OECD average was 12.5 micrograms per cubic meter.
Q. Where does fine dust come from?
Toxic particles carried by the wind from neighboring countries and changing weather patterns -- such as slowing wind speed stemming from climate change -- are main contributors to the hazardous levels of particulate pollution in South Korea.
Domestically, fine particles primarily come from emissions from diesel vehicles, ships, construction equipment and other operations involving the burning of fuels such as coal, wood and oil.
Toxic particles are generated indoors, too.
When meat and fish are grilled or fried indoors, for example, levels of ultrafine dust easily go over 100 micrograms per cubic meter. Tobacco smoke and burning candles also produce dust particles.
The widespread perception in South Korea is that a large proportion of the dust originates from industrial areas in China, but there is a lack of scientific research to determine China's contribution to the air pollution here.
The state-run National Institute of Environmental Research attributed 75 percent of PM2.5 on average to overseas sources -- China, Mongolia, North Korea and Japan -- when the country suffered from hazardous levels of ultrafine dust for five days straight in January.
Q. When are dust levels high?
The particle pollution chokes South Korea typically between November and May.
The pollution in winter is getting worse every year in large part due to a northwesterly wind from China and high volatility in temperatures, which is affected by global warming, experts say.
The fluctuations in temperature between day and night slows wind speeds, causing stagnant air masses on warm days. High pressure systems also trap dust particles in the atmosphere near the ground, worsening air quality.
In January, the density of PM2.5 in all areas was high for four days straight because fine dust particles had accumulated in and out of the country due to a lack of wind, as well as due to additional inflow of dust particles from overseas, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.
According to Air Korea, PM2.5 levels typically have begun to rise in November and hovered around a monthly average of 15 to 35 micrograms, before the levels dropped in the summer, over the past years.
Q. How dangerous is fine dust to health?
Fine particles can penetrate into the respiratory system, reaching the lungs and bloodstream. The smaller the diameter, the deeper the particles can travel into the respiratory tract and the more dangerous it is to human bodies.
Exposure to fine particles can cause short-term health effects such as skin, eye and respiratory system irritation.
In the long term, exposure to fine particles not only worsens medical conditions such as asthma, but can also causes a variety of illnesses, including cerebrovascular diseases, heart disease and cancer.
Recent studies have shown that particulate pollution is also linked to mental diseases such as depression and dementia. People with breathing and heart problems, children and the elderly are especially at risk.
Q. What should you do on high dust days?
When dust levels are high, it may be best to avoid going outside and to reduce exposure.
If it is inevitable to go outside, it is advised to wear a dust mask with a mark of "KF 80" or above.
KF, for Korean Filter, is a rating system approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. KF 80 masks filter out 80 percent of PM2.5 particles and KF94 masks can block 94 percent of fine dust.
It is best not to reuse disposable masks. When the masks are washed with soap, their capacity of blocking dust drops significantly.
Outdoor particles could come indoors with you. Shake dust off your clothes before entering your house, and wash your hands and face. The use of air purifiers inside could be helpful as well.
It is important to drink water frequently to keep yourself hydrated. Fluids inside your body help cleanse your body of toxins through sweat and urine.
Eating fruits, vegetables and seaweed could also help discharge hazardous substances from the body.

Instead of Using Batteries, This Computer Draws Energy From the Air
BY Michele Debczak
Some computers are already small enough to fit into our pockets, and researchers at the University of Washington Sensor Lab found a way to make them even smaller: get rid of the battery. As reported by Fast Co. Design, the team's Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP) gets its power by harvesting radio waves from the air.
In order to function, the WISP gathers energy from a standard radio frequency identification, or RFID reader. From there it's able to generate enough electricity to do low-key processing tasks like keeping track of sensor information.
It has around the same bandwidth as Bluetooth Low Energy mode and the same clock speed as the processor in a Fitbit. While it's not powerful enough to pave the way for battery-free smartphones any time soon, it could be used for more low-tech applications. Architects could build the light-weight computers into concrete structures as a way of monitoring a building's status after an earthquake without taking it apart. It could also be used as a sensor in fitness wearables and medical implants that track a patient's health.
Researchers have been working on WISP for a decade, but they just recently developed the feature that would make all these applications more practical. WISP can now be reprogrammed wirelessly, so if users wanted to update it after installing the sensor in a building, or someone's body, it wouldn't need to be plugged in.
WISP isn't the first battery-free sensor of its kind. A few years ago, researchers developed a RFID-powered "smart hard hat," that beeps when hazardous equipment is nearby. But in terms of battery-free technology, WISP's wireless feature is a breakthrough. You can get a closer look at the device in the video above.

The metal halide medium pressure UV lamp is constructed from a quartz envelope containing mercury with metal halide additives that create specific wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation. The addition of metal halides creates a shift in the spectral output, producing longer wavelengths enabling a greater depth of cure.
Metal halide lamps are increasingly used in the Printing Industry and in a wide variety of industrial applications, i.e. the production of CD's/DVD's, wood products and printed circuit boards.
Alpha-Cure are able to offer medium pressure UV lamps for ALL reprographics equipment available on the market from 400 watts upwards.
The specific quality of the metal halide lamp can be determined by short exposure times, long service and reliable ignition.
Gallium Iodide – Introducing spectral lines at 400nm and 420nm of the electromagnetic spectrum, this lamp is suitable for curing of white pigmented coatings and therefore it is commonly used in Diazo type processes.
Iron Iodide – This UV lamp enhances the spectral output between 320-400nm and it is used where deeper penetration is required. Applications include thick pigmented coatings and very thick clear coats.
Selecting the right spectral output is vital for efficient UV curing performance. Multi-spectrum lamps may consist of two or more additives, and using this type of lamp can improve performance across a range of different exposure products. In order to obtain the best results in all processes, the lamp should closely match the requirements of the photo-chemical process.

The rewards of shale gas are starting to outweigh the potential risks of getting the energy source out of the ground for a number of European countries. Reserves of the gas are now thought to be much larger in some states than previously estimated. In others, there is growing concern over the dominance in the market of the United States. Some are also keen to break their dependence on Russian conventional gas.


It's not an easy subject to talk about, trust me.
But that's probably a very good reason for continuing.
As a dad, I'm growing more fully aware of the role my own parents played in my development. There's a dawning realisation just how integral they were to making me, me.
Which brings me back to my main point: that missing piece of the jigsaw.
Some days it feels like yesterday. If I choose to seek them out, I'd easily find the emotions attached to her death – the hurt, the pain – knowing they're all still as fresh as if it were a recent event.
My mother died of cancer. A cruel and merciless disease. It tore a hole in my family 18 years ago, just as it continues to decimate the lives of people all over the world every day.
The thing is, as a parent, I'm now necessarily pondering the 'What-ifs?' of my life.
It's quite simple, really: What if my mother had lived long enough to know my son?
Part of me thinks that such a question should never be broached; it's a cruel conundrum to burden myself with, as a useful answer can never, truly, be given. Even so, I think of her a lot at the moment.
I was (just) 20 when she died. Looking back I can see that I was a kid, nothing more. So immature, so tied to the apron strings, so lacking in any meaningful life experience. My parents had managed to shield me from the worst of what life had to offer – which, I think, is a big part of your role, as a parent. This, however, had an unintended side effect. It made the savage, gut-wrenching, unfairness of her death all the more piquant.
I'm not going to go into details. It's enough to say that the disease tried to rob her of her dignity. It failed, but that was only because of the sheer force of will she brought to the situation. Forty-five is no age at all.
As a father, I'm aware of wanting to have a positive and lasting effect on my son Sam's life. Something that lingers. None of us know what tomorrow brings, but thinking back to my mum makes me want to take a little more control of today. I'm sure that she had regrets. We all do.
But the regret that my mum shared with me was – and is – an inspiration.
The sheer whimsy of this statement, from a woman who was staring into the abyss, has stayed with me. I take her thought to mean that she wished she'd lived in the moment a little more; that she had taken more time to enjoy herself.
So what do I take from all this? Where does it go? I'm not going to stop thinking about my mother; keeping her alive in the memory is a duty that I have been given. I also feel that it's my duty to tell stories of her to my son. I catch glimpses of her in him every now and then, just moments that evaporate as soon as I've noticed them. There's part of me that feels on some level that he'll know the stories of his grandma already – passed down in his DNA.
Well, it might not surprise you to hear that, as soon as he's ready, Sam will be getting a pair of skates. I'm sure he'll skate rings around his daddy, probably with the assistance of a set of celestial stabilizers.

The Future is Wild – Douglas Dixon & John Adams ****
Subtitled "a natural history of the future", this book (and presumably the accompanying 12 part TV series that the book accompanies) is a fascinating reverse of all those books looking backwards in time at evolution. Here the authors have beautifully speculated on how things will go in the future. The book is split into three broad sections. One, set 5 million years in the future finds a largely unchanged world in the grip of an ice age. Here the animals may be unfamiliar, but they are clearly derived from current forms. In the other two sections, looking 100 and 200 million years ahead, much bigger changes have occurred. Continental drift has resulted in a reshaping of the earth's surface. Creatures are developing significantly, with some creatures leaving the sea (imagine a land-based giant squid), birds taking to the water, and descendents of fish flying. Highest in yuck factor is probably some of the insect life, while most striking are the envisaged developments from jellyfish,
Happiness – Daniel Nettle ****
At first glance this could be one of those infuriatingly smug books of uplifting sayings. It's small (just 18cm by 13, smaller than a normal paperback [This refers to the original hardback edition - Ed.] ), bright yellow and has a fun balloon on the front. But resist the urge to yell "lead me to the sick bag" – this is not what it seems (though one has to wonder slightly why the highly respected academic publisher OUP has packaged it like this – hoping for some accidental crossover sales, perhaps?). The subtitle "the science behind your smile" is the first clue that this is, in fact, a serious scientific study of the nature of happiness. As the author admits, this is quite a difficult concept to pin down, which has led many scientific studies to ignore it – but that's a mistake. Happiness in its different forms plays a major part in our life, one way or another. Daniel Nettle identifies three kinds of happiness – the immediate, short-lived buzz of joy, the feeling of well being a
Perfect Copy – Nicholas Agar ****
To clone or not to clone, that is the question. Or at least, that's the question addressed in Nicholas Agar's clear and well written book. He starts from the science of cloning. Pretty well all of us have opinions about the whole business without having a clue about what's actually involved. The science isn't as straightforward as you might think (so perhaps its no surprise it's so difficult). For example, it's not widely understood that the famous cloned sheep Dolly is actually less of a clone than a perfectly normal identical twin. The identical twins share the same DNA (apart from any mutations), but Dolly's cloned material was her nuclear DNA – the DNA that normally comes half from each parent. The other, less frequently mentioned DNA, mitochondrial DNA came not from the sheep she was cloned from but from the donor of the egg. This DNA, which has proved valuable in the past for tracing the maternal line as it normally comes only from the mother, may not have much to do with the
Deep Simplicity – John Gribbin ***
There's something infuriating about chaos theory. It's a tease. It provokes you to excitement with all its promise of explaining all those complex (yet somehow simple)phenomena like weather and the stock exchange… then it fails to deliver because you can't really do anything with it. There are already two great popular science books on chaos. James Gleick's book Chaos not only brought chaos theory to the popular audience in a powerfully gripping way, it almost defined the genre of crossover popular science books – books in a scientific topic that appealed outside the narrow group of science enthusiasts. The follow-up book, The Collapse of Chaos by Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart goes beyond chaos theory to take in complexity, simplicity and the impact on the real world. So what's left? John Gribbin, I think, was lured by the siren song of chaos. It just seems so natural that there ought to be more "chaos and X" books – in this case, chaos, simplicity and life – that it's easy to ignore
A Devil's Chaplain – Richard Dawkins *****
The great thing about A Devil's Chaplain – that makes it arguably Richard Dawkins' best book – is that it's a collection of essays. His full length books, clever though they indubitably are, have a tendency to fall off in quality in some chapters and can be a little repetitious. Here, every piece is a neatly crafted gem. It isn't necessary always to agree with Dawkins to admire this book. In places, as usual, he is rude, intolerant and unpleasant (though in an entertaining way – for UK readers, he's the Jeremy Paxman of science). In others he carefully weaves his argument to produce a result that arguably isn't justified. For example, in the essay Science, Genetics and Ethics he comments "you may be being inconsistent if you think that abortion is murder but killing chimpanzees is not." He argues this because we are on an evolutionary continuum with the chimpanzee, just as the non-sentient foetus is on a continuum with the sentient adult. But this entirely misses the point. The ti
Fred Hoyle: A Life in Science – Simon Mitton ****
There can be few more ideal subjects for a biography than the late astronomer Fred Hoyle. He was a larger than life character who devised a whole swathe of theories – some right, some wrong – across the span of theoretical astronomy. It's somehow not surprising that Hoyle was from Yorkshire (the UK's equivalent of Texas or Bavaria), but with ancestry from the neighbouring, perhaps a little more thoughtful county of Lancashire, producing a fiery but deep thinker. In this book we see the familiar Hoyle to those who remember him – the passionate supporter of unlikely causes from the steady state universe (okay, it wasn't unlikely when he first came up with it) to life from the stars, the superb presenter of science for the masses, the science fiction author and more. But there's also the less well-known Hoyle – for instance in his radar work during the Second World War or coming up, almost as a throw-away, with ideas the possibility of there being massive black holes at the centre of

Q: clearInterval() won't clear setInterval and Affect navigation Alright, So I have a Splash screen which uses setInterval but the problem is setInterval now basically affects my whole navigation in my app I tried to use clearInterval but It won't work.
I tried changing from componentWillMount to componentDidMount but it still doesn't work.
componentDidMount(){
  const splashInterval = setInterval(()=>{
      this.props.navigation.navigate('Main');
    },2000);
    this.setState({splashInterval: splashInterval});
}

componenWillUnmount(){
  const splashInterval = this.state.splashInterval;
  const clearSplashInterval = this.props.navigation.clearInterval(splashInterval);
  this.setState(clearSplashInterval);
}

A: you don't need to clear interval you can just simply
  componentDidMount(){
    setTimeout(() => {
this.props.navigation.navigate("Main")
    }, 100);
  }

when you are navigate to another class you can use this and if you want to reset your stack like you don't want splash screen in stack
  componentDidMount(){
    setTimeout(() => {

const resetAction = StackActions.reset({
  index: 0,
  actions: [NavigationActions.navigate({ routeName: 'main' })],
});
this.props.navigation.dispatch(resetAction);
    }, 100);
  }

A: Why are you getting the clearInterval from the props?????
to clear the setInterval
do this
componentDidMount(){
 this.inter = setInterval(async() => {
            this.props.navigation.navigate('Main');
        }, 2000);
}

componenWillUnmount(){
  clearInterval(this.inter);
}

The clearInterval() function  clears the interval which has been set by setInterval() function before that.

"Is the law on our side if I say "Ay"?
The remark above is made by Sampson, a servant of the Capulet house. After expressing his hatred for the Montague clan, Sampson bites his thumb at the Montagues' servants to provoke them. The Montagues' servants are offended by this gesture and ask Sampson if he is biting his thumb at them. Since Sampson does not want to break the law by initiating a street brawl, he asks his fellow servant, Gregory, if he will be penalized by the law by admitting the truth to their question. It is noteworthy that Sampson's question reflects his wit. Moreover, the question is posed in a hushed tone, so that only Gregory and the audience could hear him.
The above dialogue is spoken by Romeo when he first catches a glimpse of Juliet at the Capulet ball. Although Romeo makes the above startling revelation to himself in a barely audible tone, the audience also serves as a witness to this aside that expresses Romeo's first declaration of love. Awestruck by Juliet's beauty, Romeo asserts that he has never experienced authentic love, nor witnessed true beauty until he has first set his eyes on Juliet.
The above aside is delivered by Tybalt when he first witnesses Romeo's presence at the Capulet ball. In a state of extreme rage, Tybalt refers to Romeo Montague as a slave and pledges to himself that if he were to strike Romeo dead, it would not be construed as a sin. Although Tybalt is surrounded by other characters in this scene, he remarks the above exclusively to himself. The members of the audience are the only ones who hear about Tybalt's strong disapproval of Romeo.
After discovering that Juliet is the daughter of his family's sworn enemies, the Capulets, Romeo expresses these words above to himself. Stated in an anxious undertone, the audience is the only one who becomes aware of Romeo's worry pertaining to the newfound discovery. This aside reveals Romeo's strong love for Juliet and makes the audience realize that since Juliet is the center of Romeo's universe, he has essentially handed over his life to his enemy's daughter.
The dialogues mentioned above is an aside delivered by Romeo during the balcony scene. After gazing at Juliet and listening to her speak, Romeo is consumed by an overwhelming feeling of love for Juliet and exclaims that Juliet is as bright, beautiful and untainted as an angel. Hence, this aside gives the audience a glimpse into Romeo's passionate love for Juliet.
The above quote is spoken by Romeo after Juliet reveals her intense love for Romeo during the balcony scene. Immensely moved by Juliet's repeated affirmations of love, Romeo asks himself if he should quietly listen to Juliet's passionate love confessions, or respond to her overwhelming admission of selfless love. The audience is the only one to witness this conflicting aside made by Romeo.
This passionate aside remark is made by Juliet after she is informed of Tybalt's brutal murder by Romeo. To conceal her true feelings for Romeo, Juliet has to pretend that she will never forgive Romeo for this horrific act in her family's presence. However, unable to conceal her love for Romeo from herself, Juliet asks God to forgive Romeo in the above dialogue. She further states that she has already forgiven her soul mate. The above aside, therefore, highlights Juliet's firm desire to stay steadfast in her commitment to Romeo.
The above aside is expressed by Friar Lawrence to himself after Paris asks the Friar if he knows the reason why Lord Capulet wants to hasten Juliet's marriage. The reality is that Friar Lawrence has already served as a witness at Juliet's wedding but has not disclosed this fact to anyone. He, therefore, says to himself in a hushed voice that he wishes he was not aware of the reason why Juliet's marriage to Paris must be slowed down, i.e., the fact that Juliet is already married to Romeo.
This particular aside is delivered by Paris' page as they approach Juliet's tomb to pay their respects and scatter flowers on her tombstone out of reverence. The above aside is a candid admission of the page highlighting the fear people usually experience while visiting graveyards and tombs. In this particular instance, the page's aside, and his fear incites a certain element of fear in the audience as well.
"For all this same, I'll hide me hereabout.
This remark is made by Balthasar, Romeo's servant after Romeo asks him to leave him alone while the two are standing outside the tomb. Although Balthasar follows Romeo's advice and leaves, he experiences a certain degree of uneasiness because of the passionate despair and conviction evident from Romeo's face. Hence, mistrusting Romeo's intentions, Balthasar decides to hide near the tomb to watch over Romeo. The above aside makes the audience aware of Balthasar's caring nature.

New trade book by Professor Mark Changizi
Date posted: 2009-05-12 16:14:00
Professor Mark Changizi new trade book "The Vision Revolution: How the Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision" will be available June 2,2009.
From the inside cover
A radically new perspective on human vision is emerging. Groundbreaking research by evolutionary scientist and neurobiologist Mark Changizi is driving a revolution in our understanding of human vision. In asking why we see the way we do, Changizi overturns existing beliefs and provides new answers to age-old questions. Why do our eyes face forward? While binocular vision was helpful to our primate ancestors, its importance for 3-D vision is exaggerated. Squirrels jump from branch to branch just fine with sideways-facing eyes and many athletes, including Hockey Hall of Famer Frank McGee, play with only one eye. HINT: We evolved in a highly leafy environment. Why do we see in color, when most other mammals do not? It's not because it helped our ancestors find ripe fruit. Our color vision has evolved to be extremely sensitive to specific sets of color changes. HINT: Primates with color vision, like us, are the only ones who have areas of bare skin. Why do we see optical illusions? It's not the result of glitches in our visual system. Optical illusions can be traced back to the same specific property of vision. HINT: We are able to catch a ball coming at us much more effectively than we should given the speed at which our brains process visual input. Why do we absorb information so readily by reading?

Blood Brothers.
September 30, 2017 Musicaldeanhbarnard
Saturday 30th September 2017, and a really busy day for me show wise. First off it's a visit to the New Theatre in Cardiff City Centre, for the matinee of the brilliant musical 'Blood Brothers', an absolutely superb show, it's got everything, comedy, drama, and lots of mascara moments in this epic production, with an amazing score, sung with heart and sole, to an always appreciative audience. Having seen this before on its last tour, I knew what to expect, but I'll still probably be in tears myself for most of the show.
A strong cast head up this amazing musical with Lyn Paul as mrs Johnston and Dean Chisnall (Shrek on its last U.K. tour) as the Narrator, Sean Jones and Mark Hutchinson play Mickey and Eddie respectively. For today's show Eddie is played by Andy Owens, who just happens to play the role brilliantly. Also I have to say that Sean is incredible as mickey, the acting in the second act is just phenomenal, so lifelike.
A few other names are familiar from previous tours, but everyone just fits in perfectly with this exceptional musical. With it's comical kids first act, to its more serious adult second act, the show is just spectacular.
With a live band playing the music in the pit, everything just flows into each song, once again brilliantly sung by the cast. Lyn Paul has a stunning voice with added oomph from Dean Chisnall and Sean Jones (who is really magnificent as Mickey). I have to admit that as I predicted, I'm in tears for most of this show, it's so brilliant yet emotional all at the same time. And that ending, so powerful and so emotional. A classic musical, which you could never get tired of watching. Looking forward already to it's next tour.

Karamo Brown of 'Queer Eye' sets the record straight on all the 'What's his job?' questions
Jon San
Supervising Producer, Yahoo Entertainment
Yahoo TV June 14, 2018
Like any super-group, each member of the Fab Five of Netflix's rebooted Queer Eye has his own specialty. Karamo Brown is the designated culture expert, and, well, some people are puzzled about what exactly he does on the show. Culture is a broad and somewhat intangible subject compared to say fashion or design, but Brown happily defends his domain. He recently spoke to Yahoo Entertainment about the depth of his cultural consultations and what viewers can expect from Season 2.
"A lot of people don't get it," Brown says. "They're like, 'What's his job? What's culture?'"
He added, with a hint of frustration, "I'm the guy that does the inside!"
"My background is social work and psychotherapy," says Brown. "So it's about while everyone else [on Queer Eye] is fixing the outside, I'm fixing what's happening [inside]."
The evidence is in abundant supply. In Season 1's breakout third episode, Brown has a heart-to-heart with their makeover subject, Cory, a Trump-supporting cop, about police violence and the Black Lives Matter movement. In Episode 4, he helps a nervous man named A.J. come out to his family. Elsewhere, he repairs broken relationships and reignites romances. Sure, he's not renovating a room like Bobby Berk, but he's certainly rebuilding something.
Season 2 will continue to pull at your heartstrings, Brown says, especially during the episode in which they make over a transgender man. "There's going to be a moment on the field trip where I take our trans guy that I think is going to really open up a lot of people's eyes," says Brown, "and help them to really see the trans experience in a new way."
But the new season will also turn the focus inward, on the members of the Fab Five, Brown says. "You hear me talking about my kids, about Ian — I refer to him as my boyfriend, but he's my fiancé now," says Brown.
One thing that will stay the same, thankfully: There's still going to be a lot of crying.
Season 2 of Queer Eye debuts on Netflix on June 15.

When any piece by America's most famous architect of the Modern era appears on the market, the first question is whether it is slated for demolition (as many have been, and some of which are now gone for good). Another, less-common concern: is it the real deal?
But first, what is for sale, exactly? A multi-acre island less than fifty miles from Manhattan, with a guest cottage compromise built by Frank Lloyd Wright when the budget ran out for the full project. But it also has the full originally-planned house that for many decades never was.
The real question is: what is original? Is it plans and intent, or the physical structure itself? And if we do say this is unoriginal, what of the structures that have required major repairs and retrofits, because Wright was known for pushing the limits of materials in his buildings?


I'm Ceilidh (say it "K-lee") and I'd love to be your family's photographer! You bring your cuties and I'll bring my self-proclaimed dorkiness and years of fine art photography skills.
We'll make art out of the awesomeness that is your family, chaos and all.

Last fall, Actors Theatre of Louisville announced the line-up of full-length plays for the upcoming Humana Festival of New American Plays (Feb. 26 - April 6). Today, it named the three s ten-minute plays: "Winter Games" by Rachel Bonds, "Some Prepared Remarks (A History in Speech)" by Jason Gray Platt and "Poor Shem" by Gregory Hischak.
Each year, the theater chooses plays to premiere in the festival from nearly 500 submissions to its National Ten-Minute Play Contest. Performances are the final weekend of the Humana Festival of New American Plays: 9 p.m., April 5, and 4:30 p.m., April 6, in the Pamela Brown Auditorium.
Rachel Bonds' "Winter Games," which also earned her the 2013 Heideman Award, was originally produced by ATL's Apprentice/Intern Company in "The Tens," an evening of ten-minute plays presented last month. It takes place in a small Pennsylvania town, where Jamie is opening the bakery and encounters Mary, who has been up all night. Brooklyn-based Pirronne Yousefzadeh, who was at ATL as an acting apprentice a decade ago, directed the play in January and will do so for its Humana premiere.
"Poor Shem" marks Gregory Hischak's return to festival, after his 2011 work "Hygiene" brought his work to ATL for the first time. Meredith McDonough, ATL's associate artistic director, will direct "Poor Shem," which follows office workers struggling with a photo copier and what to do with what they find there.

PREVIEW: VAQUEROS HOST FIRST PLAYOFF MATCH IN CLUB HISTORY ON WEDNESDAY
The Vaqueros will host the first playoff match in the club's four-year history this Wednesday night after finishing with the number one seed in the conference standings.
Shreveport (3-2-5, 11 points) claimed the fourth seed and will travel to Cowtown for a 7:30 pm kickoff, Wednesday (July 12) at Texas Wesleyan University's Martin Field (Lancaster & Collard Streets).
The Vaqueros (7-1-2, 22 points) clinched the number one seed after a weekend of back-to-back matches. Fort Worth eliminated the Houston Regals with a 4-0 victory on Saturday and then secured first place with a 1-0 victory against Tyler FC on Sunday.
Fort Worth enters the postseason on a three-game win streak.
"The team is heading into the playoffs on a high after securing first place in the regular season. With three wins on the bounce we hope to carry that momentum into a very tough game against a dogged Shreveport team," coach Nick Stavrou said. "We are hoping the home field advantage of our 12th man will help carry the boys through as the intensity turns up as it is now playoffs time."
Gates for the match will open at 6:30 p.m. with a cost of $10 for adults, $5 for youth (6-16), and 5-and-under free.
The match will feature the regular staples of Vaqueros home games with Pizza Patron, Kona Ice, the youth mini-field, soccer tennis, and the Beer Garden powered by the Chat Room Pub.
"Our boys were on tired legs late Sunday night but credit goes to coach Stavrou for building a deep and dedicated squad that battled to claim the number one spot," Vaqueros general manager Tobias Xavier Lopez said. "It goes hand-in-hand that we allowed the fewest goals in conference play (eight) and ultimately earned the top spot. With the help of the Vaqueros Family especially Panther City Hellfire, I anticipate a scrappy run in the playoffs."
