Will stabbed Davy Jones's heart (With Jack's help), thus replacing Jones as the captain of the Flying Dutchman.
BUT....What if Jones had stabbed the heart himself? Like if he tired of his existence and wanted to end it all? Who would replace him as captain then?
Does the Dutchman have a first mate? That's a good question. Maybe he is physically unable to stab his own heart.
That's a very good question - would certainly make an interesting story.
I think the FD has a first mate... does she?
Maybe he couldn't stab his own heart. maybe its part of the "rules".
that iss a very interesting question...i bet that shark dude would take over. that'd be cool.
I don't think Davy Jones liked Bootstrap all that much, especially after that whole son thing, lol.
Bill: Will! I thought I gave you my knife, heard you say you wouldn't abandon me, and take off!
Will: Yeah, well, I've decided to come aboard and stab the heart and take Davy Jones' place.
Will: Just kidding. There's no way in hell I'd do that.
Should of just used the heart as shark food or somethin'...lol. Who would be the captian then?
do you really have to stab the heart? can't you squeeze it to death? shoot it? crush it? put it in a blender?
Then wouldn't the blender be the captain? Lol. That would ruin things for whoever the future captains would be because whenever they would screw up, someone could say, "You know, a blender was able to do this job. Why can't you?"
If the Captain of the Dutchman destroyed his own heart, I believe that one of three things would happen; Calypso would choose a new captain, the ship would simply vanish, or the ship would sail the seas for forever, its crew trapped between life and death for eternity.
Following movie-verse, I believe the most likely action would be Calypso would create a new Dutchman with a new captain. Of course, I base this only on my own imagination since obviously this subject wasn't really covered in the film.
As for whether or not Davy Jones would have been capable of making the choice to stab his heart, I would say "No". Considering the makeup of his personality, he held onto his "life" with the tenacity all petty, sadistic rulers do. He never desired death; he wanted only his vengeance on the world.
Really, it's very depressing when you think about it.
Surreal! Whow! Long time no see.
Mhmm! Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one who yelled at Impy a bunch when she made the 'LEWZMP' thread?
I totally forget, what was the LEWZMP thread? And if it was insulting or stupid, probably yeah I yelled at her, although I don't even remember Impy very well. :/ I have a dreadful memory.
Jaeh, Davy might have eventually killed himself, but I think it would have taken a long time since he seemed to derive so much satisfaction from watching people be harmed, whether it be physical or emotional pain.
I think Maccus (the hammerhead shark guy) was first mate.
a question: Davy J. could go on land once every ten years, right? how long could he stay on land, then? and.. what if he over-stayed? what would happen?
I think it's from sun up to sunset because at the end of AWE when they are waiting for Will, it looks like sun up. My thinking is that the captain of the FD is physically unable to stay longer than that, that he would instantly be transported back to his ship and that would be that.
Why did we name a thread after that twit?
I think it was because Impy and I talked about the fact that she might invade the forums and everyone was asking who she was. The background story was too long for the thread we were on so Impy gave her a seperate thread. That was BEFORE she showed up.
Oh, okay. Well, back to Davy Jones. What I want to know is, Calypso says that he was many things, but never cruel. What do you think he was like before he became the Davy Jones we all know? Like was he basically a nice guy, or did he pull an Anakin and was kind of angsty and dark even before anything bad happened?
teehee, pulled an Anakin... I like that.
maybe he became bitter after calypso left him.
My goodness, this is a sticky wicket yes?
What my deal is about the DJ? questionis: DJ cut out his heart becos he was grievously wounded by Calypso's unfaithful actions. Got that. He made choice and then twisted off to become Mr. Rogue FD captain, with his vengence based interpretation of how to handle dead and dying of the sea. (Dutchman's job was to ferry souls--10 years service, then new captain--I know there was "other" on that--my bit here, my interpretation of curse thank you very much).
Other captains of the FD didn't have to forfeit hearts? DJ didn't leave his with any one person, just buried it up to keep it away from pain. Doesn't seem right that the crew decided to butcher Will. Doesn't make sense none some a'tall. In "dying", Will stabs the heart, sidesteps death so to speak, becomes captain--eyah, it's done. DJ wasn't dead when he became captain, was he? Sounded like he was in the land of the living (albeit, possibly Leaning towards Nutso County) when he fell for Calpyso. Anyway, my rift on this unusual question.
The other: Just nasty--without redeeming social value.
It depends on whether you put more value into T&T's vision or in what is actually on screen. T&T had every intention of Liz's faithfulness freeing Will after 10 years, which is a much better ending since we're going to go the willabeth route anyway. What is on screen though, is significantly different because that little loophole is never mentioned and there are no clues, in spite of what anyone may say, that Will will be free after 10 years. So it all depends on your interpretation and where you place your values.
okay, scratch that, another hole AWE made.
just another thought... suppose Will does return after ten years and stays... will he have another one of those "open heart surgeries" to put the heart back in?? or something?
and What if Davy Jones suddenly decided to be good again? will the curse be lifted and the heart quite possibly be put back in?
Well, Davy Jones is dead. When the heart was stabbed, he died and plunged into the sea, so in a way, he was reunited with Calypso.
Hmm, how would Will being freed work with the heart? I never understood why his had to be cut out. Maybe on the day he is able to come back from good, it could just materialize back in him, like the chest would suddenly be empty and his body would be like it never happened?
yeah, maybe, and he even has that big old nasty scar to show off to the ladies and to prove it!
i wonder why they had to cut his heart, though... is it suddenly part of the "rules"??
*sighs* I wish they would just clear all this up! even if they're just what ifs!
Hey, Jaeh, on a random note: I watched National Treasure yesterday! Like your siggy.
*mechanism, not machanism* so what do you think of it?
I don't understand. Do you mean now that a captain going corrupt WASN'T such a rarity now that all captains AFTER Davy Jones would have to get their hearts cut out to avoid going corrupt? Please clarify because I don't see how that would prevent someone from going all crazy.
wouldn't will still feel luuuurve and all that since he left his heart with lizzie it reminds me of the stardust thing, like, yvainne loved tristan so much that "her heart was his" and so they both were able to live eternally...?
i think that if the heart was destroyed ANY OTHER way than stabbing it, the Dutchman, which after all is a ghost ship, would be unghosted, and everyone bound to Davy Jones would finally go on to rest in peace. Also, the Locker would let go all of its prisoners so they could go on to their eternal rest as well.
since there was only a rule about stabbing, and that's what happened, the whole "yay let's rip out will's heart because he's done absolutely nothing wrong!!" thing.
but i do sincerely think that after the ten years, will got to leave the ship IF lizzie stayed faithful. and then, boat dissolves, souls go to eternal rest, la dee da the people who die on the sea go ahead in the little boats with the lanterns in front.
Do ya' post them? I'd love to read 'em!
Hey jaeh! What up my partner in crime?
I read that one fic, the 'Awkward' one! Loved it! I also read Ch. 1 of the Blog one before I had to get off.
Well, Now I know why you are always complaining about being scolded for being random, Bwa.
Anyway, you other People should continue with your Davy Jones discussion.
D'you all think that had anything to do with anything?
i thought the locket was like their token to each other's love or something... does anybody know its origins or something?
I think the same thing, Jaeh. It's like when couples get matching tattoos or something like that nowadays. "Look we're in love and we have to have something matching to always wear on our person to make that fact known!"
Yes, I'm new, but I know Bwa from Elswhere. Call me 87 since it's the most awsome number ever! 12 comes in second, and then is 42!
What?!? You left Simmons for third? It's the year of Simmons, don't you remember?!? And I wasn't THAT random, it had to do with her siggy. And 'Elsewhere'? WOW. So unincredibly obvious.
Who cares about Simmons? You are the blue fanatic.
And what about every other random quote you've posted? What about your hobbies list?
And the Elswhere bit? That was supposed to be obvious! That was meant to confuse people who can't actually think for themselves and therfore shouldn't be priveliged to read our display of human inteligence.
I thought the locket, the fact that he kept it, signified that he still loved her.
Yes, but he WAS Blue for a time.
My list isn't to be taken seriously. I'm not a very serious person (or did you forget?).

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Hurricane Florence put a corridor of more than 10 million people in the crosshairs Wednesday as the monster storm closed in on the Carolinas, uncertainty over its projected path spreading worry across a widening swath of the Southeast.
Florence's nighttime winds were down to 115 mph from a high of 140 mph, and the Category 4 storm fell to a Category 3, with a further slow weakening expected as the storm nears the coast. But authorities warned it will still be an extremely dangerous hurricane.
As of 8 p.m., the storm was centered 335 miles (540 kilometers) southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina, moving northwest at 16 mph. The hurricane center said Florence will approach the coast Friday and linger for a while before rolling ashore.
As of Tuesday, more than 1.
7 million people in the Carolinas and Virginia were warned to clear out. Airlines had canceled nearly 1,000 flights and counting. Home Depot and Lowe's activated emergency response centers to get generators, trash bags and bottled water to stores before and after the storm. The two hardware chains said they sent in a total of around 1,100 trucks.

Q: Search and Replace text in All Fields in QGIS 3 I want to replace a string in ALL FIELDS / Columns of table without having to do it using field calculator in every field manually using  replace(  "RoadName1" ,'Wharf','WharfXXX').
I have
layer = iface.activeLayer()
searchText = "Wharf"
replaceText = "WharfXXX"
for field in layer.fields():
    fieldName=field.name()
    print (fieldName)
    for feature in layer.getFeatures():
        inText=str(feature[fieldName])
        #print (inText)
        if searchText in inText:
        #try QgsStringReplacement
            QgsStringReplacement(inText,replaceText, False, False)
        #try Field Calculator

            print ("Replaced %s with %s" %(inText,replaceText))
        else:
            #print ("not found")
            pass

It seems to work but I am not seeing any changes in the dataset.
I can't find any example implementations of https://qgis.org/api/classQgsStringReplacement.html
Does this function do what I think it's supposed to -i.e. replace text when it matches?
I guess I could configure field calc to use these inputs but the function above seems cleaner in the long run.
processing.run("qgis:fieldcalculator", {'INPUT':'test.tab|layername=test','FIELD_NAME':'RoadName','FIELD_TYPE':0,'FIELD_LENGTH':10,'FIELD_PRECISION':3,'NEW_FIELD':False,'FORMULA':' replace( \"RoadName\" ,\'Warner\',\'WarnerXXX\')','OUTPUT':'memory:'})

A: You can try code below (backup data prior):
layer = iface.activeLayer()
textfields = [f.name() for f in layer.fields() if f.typeName()=='String']

replacedict = {'Hus,':'HusXYZ,','1':'ONE'}

with edit(layer):
    for feature in layer.getFeatures():
        for f in textfields:
            value = feature[f]
            if type(value)== str:
                new_value = ' '.join([replacedict[word] if word in replacedict else word for word in value.split()])
                _=feature.setAttribute(feature.fieldNameIndex(f), new_value)
                _=layer.updateFeature(feature)

From:

To:

If you want to replace parts of Words you can do:
layer = iface.activeLayer()
textfields = [f.name() for f in layer.fields() if f.typeName()=='String']

with edit(layer):
    for feature in layer.getFeatures():
        for f in textfields:
            value = feature[f]
            if type(value)== str:
                new_value = value.replace('Wharf','WharfXXX')
                _=feature.setAttribute(feature.fieldNameIndex(f), new_value)
                _=layer.updateFeature(feature)

A: You can solve your problem using layer.changeAttributeValue() in an edit session.
layer = iface.activeLayer()
searchText = "Wharf"
replaceText = "WharfXXX"

# Start edit session for the layer
layer.startEditing()

for field in layer.fields():
    fieldName = field.name()
    # get field index
    fieldIndex = layer.fields().indexFromName(fieldName)

    for feature in layer.getFeatures():
        inText = str(feature[fieldName])

        if searchText in inText:
            # change inText
            outText = inText.replace(searchText, replaceText)
            # change field value of the attribute (in memory)
            layer.changeAttributeValue(feature.id(), fieldIndex, outText)

# save changes
layer.commitChanges()

Or you can use layer.dataProvider().changeAttributeValues(). In that case, you can change multiple fields at once. To see changes you may need to reopen the attribute table.
layer = iface.activeLayer()
searchText = "Wharf"
replaceText = "WharfXXX"

# get data provider
dpr = layer.dataProvider()

for field in layer.fields():
    fieldName=field.name()

    for feature in layer.getFeatures():
        inText = str(feature[fieldName])
        # get field index
        fieldIndex = layer.fields().indexFromName(fieldName)

        if searchText in inText:
            # change inText
            outText = inText.replace(searchText, replaceText)
            # save changes
            dpr.changeAttributeValues({feature.id(): {fieldIndex: outText}})

KPMG Institutes › Healthcare and Life Sciences Institute › Coding for COVID-19
Coding for COVID-19
For an overview of how to navigate the new COVID-19 coding guidance, going into effect on April 1, 2020
Managing Director, Health & Govt. Solutions, KPMG US
As healthcare organizations continue to treat patients with known or suspected COVID-19, it is critical to understand the newly established coding guidelines just announced by the CDC. Beginning on April 1, 2020, all COVID-19-related diagnoses should be coded as U07.1 COVID-19. Using a specialized code for COVID-19 cases will facilitate better clinical decision making, disease surveillance, population health management, and research, among other imperatives.
As detailed in this issue brief, it is critical to note that there are exceptions to this coding guidance:
If a discharge occurred prior to April 1, the supplemental ICD-10-CM coding guidance should still be used.
If a patient has COVID-19 signs and symptoms, but no definitive diagnosis, there is a series of codes related to presenting symptoms.
Although the new code should be used upon discharge for most confirmed COVID-19-related cases on or after April 1, it should not be used for obstetrics and newborn cases.
At this time, KPMG's Clinical Documentation Integrity team is committed to helping its healthcare clients navigate the complexities of this code-updating process. To that end, please click here to access the issue brief, Coding for COVID-19.

Breaking Ground newsletter: A local shot at the billion-dollar gun business
The weekly Breaking Ground newsletter looks at the latest in growth and development in Southwest Florida.
Breaking Ground newsletter: A local shot at the billion-dollar gun business The weekly Breaking Ground newsletter looks at the latest in growth and development in Southwest Florida. Check out this story on naplesnews.com: https://www.naplesnews.com/story/money/real-estate/breaking-ground/2019/10/08/breaking-ground-guns-history-industrial-park/3843025002/
Phil Fernandez, Naples Daily News Published 4:18 p.m. ET Oct. 8, 2019 | Updated 1:39 a.m. ET Oct. 10, 2019
Guns are big business. For example, shooting ranges alone are a growing $2 billion a year industry in the United States, according to Ibis World researchers.
A bigger piece of that pie could come to Collier County if a property owner is successful in realizing his dream of opening a new private gun club.
That path became clearer after an old prison went up in smoke recently on Collier's northeastern edge, according to Laura Layden's reporting for naplesnews.com.
The prison near Immokalee burned to the ground in a training exercise involving multiple agencies including Greater Naples Fire Rescue.
Owner Matthew Pitel, who had a permit in hand from Collier County to demolish the building, offered it up for firefighter training first.

Land records show Pitel purchased roughly 20 acres — at 20201 State Road 29 — in March for $400,000 after a foreclosure. It's the former home of the Copeland Road Prison, also known as the Deep Lake Prison.
Pitel is not talking publicly about his plans just yet, but information he submitted to Collier County shows he plans to operate an "education gun club" through a company called Deep 50, which would sell annual memberships.
Other growth and development news
» Some view the defunct Courthouse Shadows Shopping Center near the Collier government center as a "blight on the community." However, reporter Andrew Wigdor found that the property could soon spring back to life with a proposed four-story, 300-unit apartment complex that could act as an anchor for the center.
» One of the first wood-frame buildings constructed in Southwest Florida met its end, 119 years later, largely because of neglect in this new century. The owner had accrued $550,000 in code violations since 2014. A number of historical preservation enthusiasts made an 11th-hour, unsuccessful plea to call off the demolition, according to reporter David Dorsey.

» While some tend to fall asleep when the words "industrial" and "park" get used together in a newspaper web article, Dorsey says a new industrial park with a sleek look could turn some heads upon its completion off Crystal Drive in Fort Myers.
» Among numerous other items reported in the last week or so including the latest on the Oakes opening: In the Know revealed the start of construction for a $15 million project off Tamiami Trail East, which is having new growth of its own, even if not at the rate seen in North Naples.
» Southwest Florida could be in line for a new toll road that would connect Polk County, south of Orlando, to Collier County. But some environmental leaders toldnaplesnews.com that an aggressive schedule, the potential for more sprawl and the possible fragmenting of Florida panther habitat has them worried.

Civil Forfeiture in Canada
← Alberta (Justice and Attorney General) v. Cardinal, 2013 ABQB 407 – Defendant Disbelieved, Despite Acquittal in Criminal Trial
British Columbia (Director of Civil Forfeiture) v. Dery, 2013 BCSC 1643 – Speeding Not Grounds for Civil Forfeiture →
British Columbia (Director of Civil Forfeiture) v. Nguyen, 2013 BCSC 1610 – Lower Standard of Proof Makes Director's Case
The Director of Civil Forfeiture alleged that the Defendant, Vu Huy Nguyen, had either participated in or allowed three illegal marijuana grow operations at his Vancouver home between 2001 and 2008. Because Mr. Nguyen had not been directly connected to any of the grow operations in question (which he asserted were established by his tenants without his cooperation), the Director sought the benefit of the lower standard of proof inherent in civil forfeiture proceedings.
Mr. Nguyen's counsel attempted to forestall the forfeiture proceeding with a constitutional challenge based on the division of powers. Madam Justice Kloegman of the BC Supreme Court characterized the Defendant's argument on this point as follows:
[35]	Thus there is no doubt that the Act is valid legislation. The real complaint of the defendants lies in what their counsel referred to as the "operational conflict" between the Canada Criminal Code, which governs the procedure by which the evidence in forfeiture cases is collected, and the procedures, burdens and presumptions sanctioned in the Act. To the extent that provincial legislation conflicts with federal legislation, the doctrine of paramountcy requires the court to read down or ignore the provincial legislation to the extent necessary to remove the conflict (Canadian Western Bank v. Alberta, 2007 SCC 22 (CanLII), 2007 SCC 22).
Interestingly, the court based its rejection of the Defendant's "operational conflict" argument on the fact that the same constitutional standard which applies to criminal proceedings also applies to civil forfeiture proceedings:
"[38]	Unfortunately, the defendants' submissions were premised on a misunderstanding of procedure in civil cases. Firstly, evidence in civil cases is subject to the same general common law rules of admissibility of evidence as in criminal cases. If evidence is obtained by a breach of Charter rights, it could be inadmissible under s. 24(2) of the Charter. In British Columbia (Director of Civil Forfeiture) v. Huynh, 2013 BCSC 980 (CanLII), 2013 BCSC 980, there were discrepancies in the information to obtain relied on by the police to obtain evidence of the marihuana grow operation on the residential premises subject to forfeiture. The defendants raised s. 8 of the Charter and submitted that the evidence should be excluded under s. 24(2) of the Charter. A voir dire was held at the commencement of trial. The trial judge applied the same law and cautionary approach to this evidence obtained under the Criminal Code as he would have done in a criminal trial."
After hearing the evidence in Mr. Nguyen's case, Madam Justice Kloegman was satisfied on a balance of probabilities that the Defendant had repeatedly either participated in or allowed marijuana grow operations on his property.
"[64]	In my opinion, the only reasonable inference to draw from the evidence, or lack thereof, is that the defendant Nguyen likely knew, participated or acquiesced in the marihuana growing operations in 2007 and 2008. I am not saying that the evidence would be sufficient to prove a criminal offence under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, but in my opinion it is sufficient, on a balance of probabilities, to establish the defendant Nguyen's involvement in the unlawful activity taking place on the Property."
On this basis, the court ordered full forfeiture of Mr. Nguyen's house.
Although Justice Kloegman's factual findings are not unreasonable on the balance of probabilities, her disposition of the case might be indicative of a fundamental misunderstanding of the interplay between the Civil Forfeiture Act and the Charter.
Justice Kloegman acknowledges at paragraph 38 of her reasons for judgement that civil forfeiture proceedings are subject to the Charter, and that illegally obtained evidence might be excluded pursuant to Section 24(2) thereof. In paragraph 64 of her reasons, however, Kloegman casually discards the notion that a civil forfeiture defendant should be presumed innocent. If the Charter is to be applied consistently in the civil forfeiture context, it would seem that there is an open opportunity for a well-crafted constitutional challenge based on Section 11(d).
Decided by the BC Supreme Court on September 3, 2013.

Audit Readiness, the Chief Financial Officers Act (CFOA), and Right-size the Installation Footprint (RtIF) initiatives are driving tremendous activity for installations and commands. It is essential for installations to accurately account for their real property. An accurate real property inventory helps to ensure installations have the correct types and quantities of facilities to efficiently conduct their missions; receive the correct amount of Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) funding; and assess that all facilities where soldiers and their families work, play, and live in are up to standard. These initiatives have focused attention on data quality in Army enterprise systems including General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS), the Army's database of record for assets including the real property inventory and all downstream systems (e.g., HQIIS, RPLANS, ISR, IGI&S AIA, ePRISMS, etc.).
IMCOM HQ has published an operations order as a framework to comply with these initiatives. The IMCOM Operations Order (OPORD) 19-009 Real Property Physical Inventory provides for a consistent and accurate reporting of all IMCOM real property that meets financial statement audit compliance and real property asset management requirements. This OPORD requires all IMCOM installations conduct a 100% physical inventory of all real property assets within the Army's Accountable Property System of Record (APSR) – GFEBS.
IMCOM Directorates, and their supported installations, need to effectively inventory, manage, accurately document, and report their Real Property asset inventory in accordance with IMCOM OPORD 19-009, Real Property Physical Inventory, and the Chief Financial Officer Act (CFOA) of 1990. A clear, comprehensive strategy for achieving real property accountability, management, and audit readiness is critical to ensuring limited resources are assigned effectively to facilitate sustained and measurable progress.
SYNCADD is actively supporting installations to meet OPORD 19-009 Physical Inventory Requirements with a customizable approach capable of integrating into both local installation and directorate needs. Our scalable solution provides a critical path for installations to achieve real property accountability and audit preparedness, while balancing short-term accomplishments with long-term goals.
SYNCADD's strategic plan meets real property physical inspection and data collection criteria mandated by OPORD 19-009, plus augments customer facility requirements in planning, real property asset lifecycle management, and space utilization reporting. SYNCADD understands the key to achieving real property asset accountability, management, and auditability, is focusing on the entire real property asset acquisition to retirement (A2R) process. Our approach balances this intensive requirement by leveraging current and emerging technologies and systems integration to incorporate efficiencies in the assessment, review, update, and validation workflow.
SYNCADD not only has the expertise to assist with real property compliance, we also have extensive functional and technical knowledge of the Army's suite of planning and related decision support information systems, their functional and data interrelationships, and the Army planning functions those systems support. We employ integrative processes that seek to address issues in all the enterprise real property systems (e.g., ePRISMS, ISR, RPLANS, HQIIS, AIA, and ASIP), ensuring the critical horizontal relationships between data sets are considered and accommodated in every task.
To support the Army's war fighting mission, we must ensure our installations remain ready, resilient, and capable of meeting the demands placed upon them. A Facility Investment Strategy (FIS) enables installations to optimize an approach for facility sustainment, restoration, modernization, and new construction. To ensure a proper foundation for decision-making and force planning, SYNCADD supports installations in achieving accurate and accountable databases of record (GFEBS, HQIIS, GIS, RPLANS, ASIP, ISR). This encompassing approach to Real Property Inventory Compliance enables installations to establish and properly communicate guidelines to "right size" installation facilities.

Walking around any city in Greece, you will soon realize there are beautiful bakeries everywhere serving tray after tray of syrup-laden desserts. The most popular Greek dessert is baklava. Famous for its flaky phyllo dough, rich nutty filling, and sweet syrup, baklava is the ultimate Greek dessert. Many people have only had a store-bought, pre-made version of baklava. The real thing is so much better! The store-bought are loaded with preservatives and a list of ingredients too long for comfort. The homemade version uses good quality extra virgin olive oil which I know the store brands aren't using.
My favorite way to eat Greek baklava is with a nice strong black coffee. The best is a boiled Greek coffee. The sweet baklava contrasts perfectly with the black coffee.
Mix almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, cinnamon, ground cloves, and honey in a bowl.
Brush 1 sheet phyllo (both sides) with olive oil and place in baking pan. Place 3 additional oiled sheets on top. Spread half of the nut mixture evenly on the phyllo.
Brush 4 sheets of phyllo dough (separately) with olive oil and layer on top of nut mixture. Add the rest of the nut mixture on top of the phyllo you just layed down.
Cut the baklava into square pieces. Place one whole clove on each piece. Bake for 35 minutes or until top is golden brown.
For the syrup add water, honey, sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes and then let the syrup cool down until it's warm, not hot. Mix in the lemon juice.
Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the warm syrup over the baklava.

Kentuck Art Center is proud to present the sculpture of Dennis Thompson. He has won numerous awards but is also famous for turning down a ground floor opportunity with a little company called "Dreamworks" in the early '70s.
He says: "The inspiration for my sculpture is based in my longstanding interest in paleontology and archaeology; an exploration of how universal forms evolve and adapt. I create sculpture that reflects the fluid and dynamic forms found in the natural world. My curiosity about how these forms developed and how different cultures perceive these forms is the driving force behind my work. My work is often viewed as "fantasy" art. However, for me, the dragons developed more as a cultural interpretation of archetypal reptilian forms rather than a representation of mythological creatures. The sculptures I build are diverse and encompass a wide range of richly organic forms. It's all about the bones."

Leanna Leithauser-Lesley has a degree in visual arts from Auburn University and has spent most of her life drawing and painting. For fun, she's always needlepointed. Until college, she needlepointed painted canvases that were purchased in a needlepoint shop. Once she was in college, she could no longer afford hand-painted canvases, so she started designing her own. Her work has evolved into stitching portraits. Though she doesn't draw or paint the image onto the actual canvas, her ability to draw helps her needlepoint; she looks at a photo while she stitches, just as she would look at a still life while drawing. She follows the line and the form, lights and darks, making for a perfect marriage of her talents.
Lesley is compelled by the power of jazz music, the drama of photography and the intention to raise the awareness of needlepoint to an art form. She is preoccupied with the idea of weaving together the quiet, methodical ways of needlepointing with the often-unrestrained methods of jazz, while also capturing the emotion of the photograph she prefers to stitch. Rejecting the shortcuts associated with technology, she chooses to rely on her training as a visual artist to paint the canvas with yarn, using a photograph as her still life. Each piece stitched is a unique freehand homage to the musician she decides to needlepoint.
Jazz, an American art form, is the product of a cultural collaboration and a universal language of tolerance and freedom. Lesley's heartfelt exhibition "Textures of Jazz" reveals the story of lives profoundly lived and layered with experience.
Kentuck Art Center is proud to present the work of Col. Lee Busby (Ret). A native Tuscaloosan and University of Alabama graduate, Lee has had a distinguished career in the United States Marine Corps, was Vice Chief of Staff to General John F Kelly, and ran as a write-in candidate during Alabama's senate election in 2017. Lee is an incredible sculptor and ceramicist, and says his most interesting work is a juncture between the two.

Kentuck Art Center is proud to present the work of Kentuck Festival Guest Artist Missionary Mary Proctor. Proctor's painting "Art Heals" says it all--"I Mary have been painting since 95. I have been painting nationwide. My mission is to show you can make good out of anything." In 1994, three of Proctor's family members perished in a home fire while trying to find their way out. A year later, Mary received a spiritual message, "the door is the way." She followed directions, painted an old door, leaned it up against her chain link fence, and sold it to a passing collector. More doors were commissioned, and a show in New York convinced Proctor that art was her calling. Her work has been featured in the American Visionary Museum, Raw Vision Magazine, the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum, and in Kentuck's Permanent Collection. In 2015, she was voted Folk Artist of the Year by the Folk Art Society of America. Mary Proctor's work was recently part of a large gift to the Metropolitan Museum from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. Click here to read more about Mary in an article from Bitter Southerner.

Throughout the years many "undiscovered" artists who are now in textbooks, galleries, and museums have exhibited at Kentuck.


Economist Robert Shiller (co-creator of the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, an essential tool for investors and economists) has an interesting idea for stimulating the economy: Put a teacher's aide in every classroom.
Why? As reported by the Wall Street Journal, "Not only would it employ millions, but it would be good for the children," who would benefit from "the extra attention of another person."
Shiller is regarded as one of the most important economists today. The Arthur M. Okun professor of economics at Yale University and professor of finance at the Yale School of Management, he forewarned about both the dot.com bust and the housing bubble. For years, he criticized the so-called efficient markets model of economics, which many today cite as a key driver of the policies that led to the financial crisis. He is also the author of many books, including, Irrational Exuberance in 2000, which warned that the peaking real estate and stock markets were in bubble territory.
Shiller is worried about today's economy. He estimates that the likelihood of a double-dip recession is growing and that we are "teetering" on the brink of a dangerous deflationary spiral. What to do?
The immediate issue is jobs, Shiller says. His suggestion: The government should invest in teacher's aides. One for every classroom in America.
Shiller's dire warnings before the 2008 economic crash were dismissed by more mainstream economists. He was right; they were wrong. Is anyone listening now?
I am a paraprofessional. I take pride in the fact that this "warm body" has warmed the hearts of children for 35 years; I've helped shape the minds of hundreds of kids. I have helped countless children succeed in school and in life. My impact is far-reaching. In fact, study after study shows that paraprofessionals can make a difference in students' lives. (See this summary http://www.aft.org/pdfs/psrp/ParasandStudAchieve.pdf that shows the benefits of paraprofessionals to student achievement). I'll give TFT (The Frustrated Teacher) the benefit of the doubt and assume that he or she has been too busy to question why the school system didn't adequately prepare its paraprofessionals and volunteers for their job assignments, but I'm happy to say that it isn't the norm. I am proud of who I am. I am proud of what I do. And, most of all, I am proud of the impact I make on children's lives.
Don't forget that putting a warm adult body in a classroom doesn't mean that body will be helpful. Often, when an aid or parent volunteer come in to a classroom to help, they need more direction than the kids. Plus, the teacher has to make sure the extra adult is doing the right thing. In my experience, unless I know the extra person and we are on the same page, they just get in the way. Instead of using kids and schools as a means to solve society's problems maybe we should look to real solutions: -Universal health care -Free, high-quality early childhood education -Decent school lunches -A modern Conservation Corps Economists shouldn't be giving advice on schools--or maybe anything, for that matter, considering how screwed up the economy is.

Missile Early Warning: Peeking Over the Curtain
A painting of a Defense Support Program satellite from the Air Force Art collection. DSP provides a variety of national security capabilities. Its flagship mission of launch detection was made famous during the Cold War. (U.S. Air Force image)
Military.com | By Bryan Hubbard
Missiles and submarines, nuclear warheads, civil defense, and hotlines between the White House and The Kremlin played major roles in the Cold War experience, but another development played as significant a role and is often overlooked - the development of early warning satellite systems.
In 1956 as long-range bombers gave way to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), the Central Intelligence Agancy (CIA) warned that "it is possible the USSR, if it sought full strategic surprise, could launch an attack on the continental U.S. without undertaking any observable preparations which would provide strategic warning."
While this warning did not fully foresee the extensive development of ICBMs, it inspired an American effort committed to early detection, first against the threat of penetrating Soviet bombers and later against ICBMs.
The early development involved enormous earth-bound radars that could provide 10-20 minutes warning. A vast network of RADAR stations continues to provide surveillance and warning. Linked together, this network relayed its data to NORAD for analysis and decision making. Despite its success against aircraft, this Ballistic Missile Early Warning System or BMEWS was limited by technology and physical factors associated with ground-based radar.
Recognizing these limitations, Joseph Knopow of Lockheed and Sidney Passman and William Kellogg of RAND began exploring infrared sensors to detect missile launches in 1955. Their recommendations include satellite-based sensors. This idea evolved in to the Missile Detection and Alarm System or MIDAS which first orbited in 1960.
The data from these satellites became the stuff of legends because every reaction and Cold War calculation began with the warning of enemy action. The satellites promised an eight-minute warning of a Soviet nuclear-missile attack. In those eight minutes, plans were constructed for emergency evacuations of key personnel and for the American response. With just an eight-minute-warning strategies like "Launch on Warning" were developed with fearful automated response systems. The eight minutes became the standard warning for Cold War-era civil defense actions and the standard for missile and bomber crew actions.
Despite the dependence that MIDAS inspired, the system was plagued with limitations. With an operational life of one year and a relatively low orbit, MIDAS required many satellites and a continuous schedule of launches. Yet, despite controversy and poor performance MIDAS served as the backbone for America's early warning system for nearly a decade.
The follow-on to MIDAS eventually became known as the Defense Support Program (DSP). Using geosynchronous orbits, DSP required only 3 or four satellite to provide surveillance of the entire earth and promised an effective life of more than three years. These satellites were integrated with the radar systems already reporting to NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs. Once analyzed, DSP data provide great detail about Missile activity including the number of missiles, their azimuth, and projected impact points. DSP even provided the capability to detect submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
DSP proved successful in providing reliable early warning and important information about Soviet test operations. During the 1970s and 1980s, DSP completely removed the possibility of a successful surprise attack on the Unites States using ballistic missiles lengthening the eight minute response time to more than 20 minutes in some cases.
But throughout this long vigilance, DSP only first performed in wartime in 1991 during Desert Storm. Called "the most important of all Air Force satellite projects" by General Donald J. Kutnya, commander of U.S. Space Command in 1991, DSP provided warning against Iraqi Scud missiles. This intelligence was shared with allies like Israel during the conflict.
Early warning satellites in the Defense Support Program make up only a fraction of the operational satellites of the Cold War and today's military space programs. Satellites provide comprehensive communications, surveillance, meteorological data and even nuclear test detection.
This last mission of detecting nuclear explosions plays an important part in enforcing the treaties which helped bring an end to the Cold War. Although development began in Defense Department studies as early as 1959, the first satellite aimed at nuclear detonation detection launched in 1963. Called Vela Hotel, the satellites carried x-ray, gamma ray and neutron detectors which could spot a nuclear explosion as far as 100 million miles from Earth. With just two satellites placed in 70,000-nautical-mile orbits, the Vela Hotel satellites could watch the entire globe. The Vela Hotel program ended in 1984 after 21 years of continuous operations. The nuclear detection program blended with other DSP and Navstar GPS satellites using the detection technology from the Vela Hotel program and was renamed the Integrated Operational Nuclear Detection System (IONDS).
As satellite technology continues to move from Cold War deterrence and top-secret status into more mainstream applications and people use satellite televisions, hand-held navigation devices and satellite enabled phones; the contribution of Cold War satellite programs continue long after their primary mission of detection, warning and deterrence.

Paper Napkin Interview: Dishing with Erin Andrews
We talk grits, gators, and good seats with the adorable ESPN College GameDay reporter and Dancing With the Stars alum.
By Caroline McKenzie
ESPN reporter Erin Andrews enjoys a breakfast of eggs and grits at The Flying Biscuit Cafe in Atlanta, GA.
| Credit: Gregory Miller
Your job requires you to be on the road well over 100 days a year. Do you have tips for getting to know a town?
I never eat at chain restaurants. Instead, I go somewhere recommended by a local.
As a sideline reporter you have a unique perspective of football games. What surprised you about this up-close view?
I'm surprised by how spoiled I've become. Now, when I'm a spectator, no matter how great my seats are, I constantly feel they're not good enough. I'm always thinking, "No, I want to be down there."
Do you think there are any advantages to being female in your line of work?
Of course. You stand out, obviously, but that's good and bad. When you make mistakes, people notice and don't let them slide like they do for men.
How did you learn about football?
My dad is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, so I watched them from an early age. And growing up in Tampa, Florida, I was in the middle of college football country. You had to be for the Gators, FSU, or Miami.
What made you decide on the University of Florida?
I knew I wanted to go into sports broadcasting, and Florida had a great journalism program. Plus, and it may sound silly, I wanted to go to a school with a winning football program. I knew ESPN would be covering strong teams and I wanted to see that coverage up close.
What is the biggest misconception about the South?
That every guy here has a Justin Bieber haircut.
Any hidden talents?
Singing like Taylor Swift. I feel a connection with her since we're both tall, blonde, and high-spirited. My friends may disagree, but I think I'm especially good at "Picture to Burn."
What's your favorite aspect of Southern football?
The commitment to tailgating, especially at LSU. By Wednesday afternoon the RVs have arrived and the crawfish boil is cranking up.
Who's your all-time favorite player?
Tim Tebow because of everything he stood for and how hard he played. I unfortunately often have to report negative news about players. It was nice to have such a wonderful ambassador for college football.
Last thing you scribbled on a napkin?
I'm cheesy and girly and always draw hearts.

Q: Creating new user in Active Directory and setting the samAccountName gives a weird string I am to create a user. I auto generate a username through a function.
Then I do:
MessageBox.Show(userName);
user.Properties["samAccountName"].Value = userName;

I use the message box to ensure that the userName value is as expected. It is.
The format is something like XBeBoReso as an example. However once the user is created and I check manually on Active Directory the samAccountName is something like:
$AM2000-JDU226IQG9UL
Why does this occur? I can't seem to find where this change is made.

A: $AM2000-JDU226IQG9UL is an autogenerated logon name. According to MSDN:

The server will create a random sAMAccountName value if none is
  specified.

This could mean, that AD didn't get the value and you need to check one more time if your code really takes and saves the correct value. I would also try to change samAccountName to sAMAccountName to check if it would make any difference.

What we learnt about the podcast industry from deep-diving 350 applications for a job as a show producer
James Bishop
We advertised a job for a Podcast Producer during the pandemic. The results are a fascinating insight into the current state of the podcasting industry.
This is what we learned:
The podcast industry is big business. According to PWC and IAB - the auditing firms that gather financial statistics - US advertisers were predicted to spend over a billion dollars in 2021 on podcasting advertising.
In May, The Joe Rogan Experience podcast was purchased by Spotify for a reported $250 million - a sum that will almost certainly make him the best-paid broadcaster in the world. (Guardian, 2020)
A quarter of the total US population listen to podcasts weekly (Edison, 2020) while just under 20% of the UK population are weekly listeners. The profile of listeners are paramour for advertisers as well, with the majority being young, affluent, and loyal to the medium.
In the past two years, the industry has seen an influx of listeners, revenue and content. In 2018, there were 18.5 million podcast episodes published on Apple Podcasts. In 2020, the figure stands at just under 30 million (Apple World Developers Conference, 2020).
This has all resulted in a huge growth in applicants entering the podcasting industry.
OneFinePlay advertised the role on the 5th June 2020. The ad was posted on LinkedIn, Work In Startups and Indeed (UK). On Indeed alone, 118 CVs with cover letters were received in the first 48 hours.
The job ad had only been up for four days before we took it down — but that wasn't before over 300 applications were submitted.
Evidence from the outset would suggest a recruiter's market but when taking a closer look that's not so clear.
Let's start with the basics. Out of the 300 or so applicants, the gender (or rather sex) divide is smaller than one may imagine.
*N/A = Non-specified, not answered.
This would certainly suggest any wider gender disparity currently in the podcasting industry isn't down to a vestige of female or non-cisgender identifying applicants.
An overview of the educational background of applicants shows that those looking to fill the role of Podcast Producer are generally well educated.
64% alone had bachelor of arts degrees. 9% had master degrees. The academic diversity in applications was also stark. Law, engineering, medicine, accountancy and science graduates applied. The inbox was also replete with drama students, music production graduates and political science majors.
The most common degree alone was BA in Film which accounted for 7% of total applicants. English and Journalism only accounted for 5% apiece whilst those without any higher education background accounted for a grand total of 8.3% of applicants. This figure is likely even smaller when you consider older applicants with more experience tend to leave out third level education on their CVs altogether.
Additionally, the national demographic of applicants was equally intriguing. 78% of applicants were from the United Kingdom. The remaining 22% was a cross section from across the globe. The most applicants from outside the UK were from the United States with 3.5%. Then surprisingly, Spain comes in second 2.1% and India third with 1.4%. Other countries like France, South Africa, and Germany come in with 1% each.
Overall, 34 different nationalities submitted applications. Despite this role being London based, only 80% claimed to be living in the nation's capital. People applied living as far and wide as Bali, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Los Angeles, and Cape Town.
The professional background of applicants also made interesting reading. Despite the perceived close relation between podcasting and radio, only 28% had experience in the latter.
Similarly, experience in filmmaking appeared on 29% of CVs received. Print and online journalism only emerged on 24% of applications. By far the largest professional demographic were those from television, making up 39% of all applications.
In total, 83% of applicants had at least one or more of film, television, radio and print/online journalism on their resumes. 49% had one of the four, but many candidates were multi-hyphenates with 28% having two, and 4.5% having three. Interestingly, no one applied with all four professional dictates included on their CV.
Another intriguing piece of information was the profundity of former BBC employees submitting. Over 15% of total applicants had previously been employed by the national broadcaster.
Relevant Experience
In the job description, successful candidates were required to have at least two years-experience producing content editorial. Despite this, 30% of applicants had fewer than two years' experience, with 16% of total applications possessing no previous experience in production.
A combined total of 1391 years of production were in the applications, with candidates possessing an average 4.8 years. One individual candidate had as many as 36 years in production
Graph A: Individuals with 15 or more years of production.
Graph B: Individuals with 15 or less years of production
Relevant Skills
A second requirement for applicants to satisfy was to have experience using editing software: Premier Pro, Adobe Audition, Photoshop and InDesign.
Given the nature of the role advertised, a working knowledge of these applications is crucial. Surprisingly however, only 17% of applicants stated having experience with at least three out of four of the aforementioned software.
Equally fascinating is the employment rate of candidates. The vast majority were already working with 204, or 71.1%, of applicants identifying themselves as employed despite the pandemic.
This high number however could also be symptomatic of applicants wanting to appear employed and active rather than have a professional gap in their careers. In addition, many of those describing themselves as 'employed' did so as freelancers and, given the current global health crises, freelance opportunities have greatly suffered.
Evidently, the podcast industry is an attractive option for skilled, educated workers. It is an even more attractive option during a pandemic, where remotely recording, editing and publishing is perhaps more feasible than any other area of production. This would explain both the huge number of applications in such a small window, but also the variety of applicants.
From the advertised job description, only two 'hard skill' requirements were made. As mentioned before, candidates were charged with having at least two years' experience producing content editorial and it was preferred for them to have experience using Premier Pro, Adobe Audition, Photoshop and InDesign. Out of all the candidates, only 12.5% satisfied these two criteria. This is perhaps less surprising than the following discovery however.
Astonishingly, only 50 of the 288 total candidates had ever been involved in the making of a podcast. This results in a diminutive 17%. A figure which shrinks even smaller if looking for applicants who had made, or were currently making, their own podcast: A microscopic 9%.
Applicants are more likely to be male but not drastically. They're well educated with over 90% having third level education. Applicants don't seem to struggle finding work either, with well over 2/3rds being currently employed. Podcast Producer roles have global appeal, with roughly 20% applicants either living overseas or hailing from outside the UK. Applicants are also professionally varied with over a quarter having more than one area of production on their resume.
Podcast jobs advertised on websites like Indeed, Working Startups, and LinkedIn, may have a tendency to receive applications that are not totally relevant. None of the advertisements were paid for, which might explain the diversity and generality of applications.
Most striking is the lack of direct podcasting experience. Perhaps applicants consider any production experience to be interchangeable with direct podcasting experience. This is obviously not the case. A broad analysis of candidates can reveal what recruiters don't know about applicants, and as a result, can be revealing for an industry itself.
As the podcast industry reaches maturity on a global, artistic, and economic scale, we will begin to see candidates that are more specialised to the genre. In the meantime, successful candidates can be pleased with uncharted territory podcasting is expanding into. Conversely, recruiters will be excited to learn there is no shortage of trained professionals willing to explore.
