Once away from shelter, Wyld realised just how cold it was and was glad he was at least wearing a couple of jumpers and a pair of thermal gloves. He had his thermal jacket in the pack but maybe he should turn back and get some more layers. Knowing his luck if he went back then the scientific meeting would definitely end and his opportunity for adventure would be ruined. Anyway, he would only be out for a couple of hours. He would be fine.
To warm up Wyld sprinted towards the nearest section of forest and stopped. He hesitated, it felt wrong. His stomach churned and he scanned the thicket for danger or any movement. There was nothing. That didn't mean there wasn't anything out there waiting. Something made the hairs on his neck stand on end. For a moment he stared at the dense tangle of foliage. It was just like any other forest, it was intense, green and full of ancient trees. Yet how many forests were completely stone-cold silent? It just felt wrong. He stood on the edge listening. All he could hear was heavy breathing and that belonged to him. For the first time he heard his own heart beat as he stared amongst the trees. The more he stared, the more the forest seemed to be beckoning him to venture further. He could still see the cave complex, it was easily running distance – so why not? He glanced back, Sylvia wasn't by the window anymore… If something did happen then there was no-one to witness it. Finally he made a decision, he would just have a little look. If he did see something then he would run and run until he was safe. Simple. His heart jolted. There was something so exciting about what laid beyond.
Exploration was fun and after a short while Wyld became used to being amongst the ancient jungle. It wasn't so bad and for some reason it looked far more interesting the further he moved away from the edge. In the depths he noticed the trees were growing increasingly twisted and old looking. That made them pretty cool. Some even had massive trunks with branches covered in moss and lichen. Wyld liked the way the trees were so solid and so climbable. Many of their branches linked to the other trees like twisted bridges. It was so fun so he explored for an hour without the slightest interruption. He clambered from tree to tree, followed some large tracks and threw some stones at some ugly looking birds. The birds looked like big plucked turkeys with massive skin-like wings. When they called they made strange guttural noises that sounded like hooping mixed with groaning. They were the ugliest birds he had ever seen so he made them fly away by chucking a barrage of stones at them. Other than that, nothing too much seemed to be happening. That was until there was a rustling in the bushes.
The sound of the cracking made Wyld jolt. His gaze circumnavigated the undergrowth. What was that noise? Was it the wind? No it was too solid. There it was again, another rustle. Wyld's heartbeat quickened. He realised he was an obvious target, so knelt down and tried to make himself small. He slowed his breath right down and listened to where the sound was coming from. In that quiet moment he could hear a strange rumbling turning through the air. It was as if something was trying to call to a much larger beast. Wyld didn't dare move, whatever was calling was just on the other side of the bushes. He needed to work out what he should do: if he ran he could be chased. If he stayed then maybe he would be trampled. Wyld listened again, the sound seemed desperate like whatever was behind the bush was calling for help, like it was crying.
On all fours Wyld crept a little closer and hid behind some stones. He waited for a moment, took a deep breath and then carefully peered through a gap between two boulders. There was a fluffy shape in front of him; a hairy bundle with what looked like tiny tusks. Wyld stared dumbfounded. It couldn't be could it? Was it really possible? An extremely hair baby elephant? From what Wyld could gather, the animal before him was one those hairy beasts his dad had pictures of. What if the expedition leader hadn't been lying? What if this creature was only the beginning? What if there were more? His glance erratically scanned the surrounding area. Wyld felt panicked, the other creature sensed it too. Wyld listened. The beast listened. There was an intense silence.
For a while the pair waited. The creature probably thought Wyld was a predator stalking it. He guessed the beast was trying to work out his position before it defended itself. He stayed still, he focused on calming down and considered his options. He was torn between his natural instinct: survival or his unfortunate curiosity. What if what was in the bushes was dangerous? What if it was one of the sabre-tooth tiger creatures, but just appeared like something else? What if it was something even worse-with two heads and a giant shark's mouth? All manner of strange creature stampeded through his mind.
With a deep breath, Wyld turned to leave. It was then that he heard the beast whimper. From what he could make out, it too seemed like a child, a child in a helpless situation. The whimpering turned to desperate sounds begging for help. He felt a pain in his heart, he could sense the beast was pleading with him. In that moment a churn of thoughts tumbled through his mind. What if the beast was setting him a trap? What if it intended to kill him and eat him? There was only one thing for it: Wyld was going to have to take a closer look.
Urgently he shifted to all fours and scurried forwards, there it was again, the fearful crying. Wyld found a tree stump and hid behind it. He peered over the top and almost had the wind knocked out of him. Ahead of him was a red fluffy elephant, it must have been a baby because it was only the size of a sheep. It was covered in wispy red hair, it had a trunk and at that moment it fell helplessly silent as it stared fearfully, but wretchedly back at Wyld.
The abandoned fluff ball watched him move closer; its stare was focused in such a way that if anything startled it, it would dig its tiny tusk into him in a second.
He leant down and stroked the baby mammoth's leg. The fluffy beast made a whimpering sound in gratitude. Wyld tugged at the twine to create a gap and used his Swiss army-knife to carefully cut the beast free. Once the baby mammoth was free it just stood not doing anything.
It didn't run, it just seemed to be waiting.
'Come on fella give me a break. I just freed you, go find your mum.' Wyld glanced around.
With a frown, Wyld sensed something was wrong. He had expected the baby to run or at least move in the direction it had come from. Instead the baby mammoth lifted its tiny trunk and sniffed the air. Wyld watched inquisitively and paused. Something didn't feel right. The distinct feeling of being watched burned into his back. He glanced at the baby mammoth who became nervous then fidgety. It had sensed something too. It had sensed danger.

A grab bag of issues handily assembled into one easy-to-digest post »
The Insider's Guide To Christchurch East
A trouncing. An embarrassment. A warning. A stonking win. Whichever way you try and spin it, Poto William's 4613 vote victory in Christchurch East is a significant result that should be taken seriously. There are two lines which are being faithfully trotted out by the mouth-pieces of the right.
The first is that turnout was low, so it doesn't matter. I disagree that turnout was low. Rob Salmond analyzed the turnout at the last few by-elections, and came up with 14,000 as a par-score. Actual turn out was 13,318 – which is pretty close to that. Saturday's turnout of 41.4% was actually higher than the last two by-elections, Ikaroa-Rawhiti (35.7%) and Botany (36.4%) – and neither of those two electorates were the most badly affected area in a natural disaster. The by-election was fought on the 2011 boundaries, but we know that 10,000 people have left the electorate, compared to the last census (2005). At the 2011 election, many of these people would have either still been living in the East, having not settled their insurance claims, or would have left the area, thinking that they would be able to move back – but stayed on the Christchurch East roll. I spent the day on Saturday based out of the Aranui hub, and each of the streets we went down had a high number of boarded-up homes. Many of the people we tried to get out and vote were very disengaged with the political process, and I'd argue that if turnout had been higher, it could have actually been much worse for National.
The second claim about the turnout is even more disingenuous.
Key said this morning the result was not surprising and didn't represent a big loss to the Government. "The turnout was pretty low," Key told Breakfast.
Of course, low turn-out in an election doesn't mean the result has a lack of legitimacy – just ask John Key. In 2008, he led National to the Beehive with 1,053,398 votes – 44.93% of those cast. In 2011, he was returned with an increased percentage of the votes – 47.31% – though National only increased their total by 5,240 votes. That was because voter turnout fell by over 5%. Key would be on pretty shaky ground if he wants to keep pushing this line of argument. A win is a win is a win. Of course it would have been better if 100% of electors had voted, but you can only count the votes that were cast, and some would argue (hey Eric!) that staying at home is just as valid as getting out to vote.
No, this does represent a big loss to the government. A humiliating one. In the last two months, we've had our MP for Christchurch East run for mayor, win comprehensively, and bring in a new left-leaning council with her. We've then gone out and fought to fill her seat, and have again had our candidate elected in a landslide. Two drubbings in two months – and I'm pretty sure that if they hadn't taken ECan out of our hands, they would have had three. I don't know how we could send more of a signal, without setting fire to the CERA offices.
L to R: Hayden Munro, DC, Poto Williams, your author
I've been involved in the campaign for a while, and it's been a hard, but rewarding slog. While people say that Labour was always going to win, I can honestly say that we weren't taking anything for granted. There were two reasons to be concerned: firstly, the party vote in 2011, which Labour lost by a large margin. I've got no doubt that if they had put forward a better candidate, and run a more effective campaign, National could have done much better. They certainly sent a number of ministers down here – though one has to wonder about the effectiveness of sending an MP as unpopular as Gerry Brownlee out door knocking in some of the most damaged areas (imagine having Gerry turn up unannounced at your property after almost three years of unsuccessfully dealing with the government.) The other thing we were worried about was the local body results, which saw our popular local councillor Glenn Livingstone come in second in Burwood-Pegasus to David East. This risk was moderated by some smart policy announcements, especially around Kiwibuild and the New Brighton revitalization.
While much of the win has been chalked up to "the Labour machine" and "the old warhorse Jim Anderton", it should be noted that it wasn't just a case of flicking the ignition and getting the machine purring. All through the campaign, we were struggling to get as many volunteers as we wanted. After the local body elections (which also overlapped the by-election campaign for about 6 weeks), the leadership election and the annual conference, Labour members in Christchurch were pretty exhausted. You can also add to that the general issues that people have in town at the moment, and get a better picture about just hard people worked to pull this off.
Congratulations have to go to a number of people. David Cunliffe made a big effort in this campaign, which has pretty much covered the entire period of his leadership. His first public appearance after being elected leader was at Poto's selection meeting, and he's been down often since that. The local Labour MPs – many of whom supported Grant Robertson in the leadership contest – have supported David and Poto through the campaign, especially Megan Woods, who has done a huge amount to help with street corner meetings and policy announcements. The local Christchurch East LEC did a phenomenal job. Jim Anderton was a great leader, but much of the credit should also go to campaign dogs body, Hayden Munro, who was everywhere, all of the time. I think he'll be looking forward to a sleep.
Credit must also go to Poto. The party made a bold choice, and I think they will be rewarded with a strong MP. Poto hit the ground running, and worked incredibly hard to meet as many potential electors as she possibly could. She did 100 street corner meetings, even though she had lost her voice after about the first 10.
This was a resounding win for Labour, and hopefully it will convince any of the doubters within the Party that to win back Christchurch, we need to outline a strong plan for the city. This, by definition, means "politicizing" the earthquakes. A clearly articulated vision, which places people at the centre of recovery, will be key to not just winning back Christchurch Central, but also the all-important party vote across the city.

This raincover is specially designed for the Jane Twone in Twin/Double mode, however it can also be suitable for most similar in-line tandems which already have a fabric hood to support it. The design of this raincover has no frame which in turn allows it to be easily folded, compactly away.
Jane's range of practical raincovers will keep your little ones protected and comfortable while you're on the move. These exclusively designed raincovers help to protect against the wind, rain, and also aids air circulation and prevents temperature build-up with the mesh and/or exclusively designed roll up window(s).
Universal type in-line tandem raincover, but has been specially designed and tailored for the Jane Twone range of pushchairs.
Reinforced with mesh to prolong life of the accessory.
Unlike a single raincover, this Twone Twin raincover can be used on the Jané Twone in both single and double modes.
Raincover has two handy little windows that open so you can get to each child easily.
I have purchased the raincover as I enjoy getting out and about and theres nothing worse than getting coughed in the rain. Great cover, great product.
This rain cover is very good, it actually covers the whole pushchair. It is a bit confusing on which way round it goes but I got it in the end.

Q: Not able to step into native code - Android I have been trying to debug the native code on Android studio.
My debugger runs fine on simple hello world jni code.
But when I try to do the same with the code that is linked with shared lib libcrypto.so and libccmssl.so , I am not able to step into the native code.
Now I am not sure if the above observation is any important. But I am not sure where to explore next. While Loading the library I am getting following (attached image) SIGILL, after which, on pressing continue, the code runs, the native functions are called and values returned, but the debugger does not step into native code.

Any pointers what I should look at would be appreciated, Thank You

A: I have been trying to get an external c++ project work with android studio since a week now and trying to narrow down the reason --> "Why I am not able to step into the native code "
For me the problem was presence of  "-gstabs+" flag in LOCAL_CPPFLAGS
I removed it --> build --> and Yay
Following is the flags description:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/Debugging-Options.html
-gstabs+
Produce debugging information in stabs format (if that is supported), using GNU extensions understood only by the GNU debugger (GDB). The use of these extensions is likely to make other debuggers crash or refuse to read the program.
Note: the above SIGILL image that I posted in the question still persist, but it was not what was causing debugger to not step it.

Indiana receives letter from CDC about fall distribution of COVID-19 vaccine
by: Kelly Reinke
Posted: Sep 3, 2020 / 04:45 AM EDT
Updated: Sep 3, 2020 / 04:45 AM EDT
INDIANAPOLIS — The CDC is telling governors the agency and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are rapidly making preparations to implement large-scale distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in the fall of 2020.
Gov. Eric Holcomb's office confirmed he received the letter but not much is publicly known yet about how this will play out in Indiana.
The letter from CDC Director Robert Redfield said the agency has contracted with McKesson Corporation to distribute these vaccines to state and local health departments, medical facilities, doctor offices and other vaccine providers.
Redfield said the appropriate state licensing agency will receive permit applications for the new McKesson distribution facilities.
The letter asks governors to consider waiving requirements that would prevent these facilities from becoming fully operational by Nov. 1, just a few days before Election Day. A spokesperson for Holcomb's office said they will work with the CDC and McKesson on next steps.
"The requirements you may be asked to waive in order to expedite vaccine distribution will not compromise the safety or integrity of the products being distributed," said Redfield.
Ana Bento, an assistant professor at IU School of Public Health, has been researching COVID-19 transmission since January. She wonders how the vaccines will be distributed.
"Is it going to be sent to every pharmacy? Every doctor's office? Every hospital?" Bento asked. "The sooner a vaccine is available, the sooner there is hope for a more robust control strategy for COVID-19."
In the letter, Redfield said the vaccine distribution program could potentially involve hundreds of millions of vaccine doses.
"This is a necessary part in being able to deliver a vaccine. You can't just create a vaccine–you have to have a way to distribute it," said Shaun Grannis, vice president of data and analytics at the Regenstrief Institute.
Grannis analyzes COVID-19 data in Indiana. He said he was encouraged by this letter.
"I don't know if I see the evidence that we are going to be ready by November 1st, but I am hopeful. Perhaps there is information I don't have access to," he said.
On Sunday, the commissioner of the FDA told the Financial Times the department could authorize a vaccine before the end of Phase Three clinical trials, as long as officials believed the benefits outweighed the risks.
Kelly Manning, president of APIC Indiana, anticipates the Indiana State Department of Health will reach out to her group soon, as well as infection preventionists in the community.
"I did not expect it this soon, but I think this is the only way we can stop the spread of this virus," Manning said. "These vaccines go through several processes of clinical trials. I believe ISDH will provide us information on the trial and how all of that was presented to them."

If you should ask how this book came to be written, it was in this way. One day as I was wandering over the world I came upon the valley where I was born, and stopping there a moment to speak with them all--when I had argued politics with the grocer, and played the great lord with the notary-public, and had all but made the carpenter a Christian by force of rhetoric--what should I note (after so many years) but the old tumble-down and gaping church, that I love more than mother-church herself, all scraped, white, rebuilt, noble, and new, as though it had been finished yesterday. Knowing very well that such a change had not come from the skinflint populace, but was the work of some just artist who knew how grand an ornament was this shrine (built there before our people stormed Jerusalem), I entered, and there saw that all within was as new, accurate, and excellent as the outer part; and this pleased me as much as though a fortune had been left to us all; for one's native place is the shell of one's soul, and one's church is the kernel of that nut.

Q&A: Public information about scientific research
LegalQ & A
By sgoldsby	 Last updated Jun 3, 2013
From a freelancer in Kokomo:
Q: I am doing some research about genetically engineered foods. I am interested in knowing if details about grants to public universities are considered public information. I would like to know what grants, for example, are going to the School of Agriculture at Purdue in what amount, from whom, and for what.
I have the same questions about grants going to Ivy Tech that has programs in agriculture as well. Do I have a right to this information?
A: It never hurts to ask. The worst that can happen is you get a denial.
A problem you may run into is confidentiality under IC 5-14-3-4(a)(6) in the state's Access to Public Records Act, which protects "information concerning research, including actual research documents, conducted under the auspices of a state educational institution, including information: concerning any negotiations made with respect to the research; and received from another party involved in the research."

The U3A Tauranga Travel Group meet the 4th Thursday of each month in the lounge at the Wesley Methodist Centre, 13th Avenue. 23 March 2017 had two speakers, morning tea and lots of discussion.
Jonathan Spink spoke to us about his trip from Darwin to the outback of Northern Australia on a glamping holiday for 5 days/4 nights. There were 16 people on the tour and they stayed in tents or permanent huts and had their own guide. They visited Kakadu National Park, Katherine Gorge and Lichfield National Park etc. He mentioned to us that Kakadu National Park is about half the size of Switzerland. Jonathan went at the coolest part of the year and even then it was quite hot which meant there wasn't much bird life but plenty of wild life including salt-water & estuarine crocodiles.
They did quite a bit of walking and saw many ancient aboriginal rock-face paintings.
He showed us a number of photos and some beautiful reflections.
After morning tea Annette McLachlan gave a talk on her trip to the Cinque Terre in Italy.
The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera which consists of 5 small villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore). It was a very poor area until the 1970's when the development of tourism brought wealth to the area and it was then that the houses were painted. The only village that used fishing as its main industry was Monterosso. The locals lived off vineyards and olive cultivation. There are very few roads into the towns that are accessible by car.
A train runs from La Spezia to Genoa which is the best way to get to the villages.
It is possible to walk to all five villages in one day but Annette found it much nicer to stop and enjoy the villages as she went through them.
The area is all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Win Over Georgia Tech a Microcosm of What Could Have Been
OK, so Georgia was not going to finish 11-1 this year, earn a trip to the SEC Championship, and play in a BCS bowl. There simply wasn't a strong enough combination of experience and talent. Nonetheless, beating a very good Georgia Tech team on the road (well, "The Flats" may not be the most intimidating place to play) in such a physically impressive fashion showed that there was enough to work with to mount better than a 7-5 season.
For all the innovations, fads, and rule changes football has seen over the years, the basic formula is still quite similar to what it was during the time of leather helmets and goal posts placed in the middle of the end zone: Run the ball, play solid defense, and win the turnover battle.
The Dawgs haven't rushed so effectively or so often in years. RBs Washaun Ealey and Caleb King both topped the century mark for the first time in years. The defense, while still giving up a couple of big plays and, quite frankly, catching a break with a dropped pass late in the fourth quarter, shut down the Tech attack in the first half, and played well enough in the second half. However, it was winning the turnover battle that was the most astonishing thing to see.
Georgia was on the plus side in turnover margin in a game for the first time this year. In most other games, Georgia was in the red in this department (and often by more than one), and only managed to break even a couple of times.
Turnovers happen, and sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. But, in a year when the Bulldogs were not quite as far ahead of the curve in terms of overall experience and talent, not turning the ball over and causing turnovers were the two things that Georgia could have benefited from the most.

Rendering of Chabad CU's new Jewish students center.
A public university set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, the University of Colorado Boulder holds the number one spot nationally for its atomic/molecular/optical physics program. Twenty two hundred of its 30000 students are Jewish, but CU's distance from major Jewish centers means that Jewish life is less accessible to them.
That makes the Jewish family experience that students find with Rabbi Yisroel and Leah Wilhem a rare commodity on this campus. And this month, Rohr Chabad CU will open the doors to a new center that will offer students yet a new and improved Jewish community life experience.
Nicole Schaeffer has a vested interest in the new Schaeffer Jewish Student Center. When she began her studies at CU in 2003, she was homesick for her native Los Angeles Jewish community. But a year later the Chabad representatives arrived and invited her to Shabbat dinner.
"I felt a connection immediately," Schaeffer recalled. "Going to Chabad at CU gave me the Jewish identity I needed and wanted. I needed a Jewish home." The Jewish home she found with the Wilhelm family has since grown, and by 2010, at least 500 students were interfacing with them, making space tight at their lively home.
Wilhelm and his wife Leah thought up their dream plan: "A place where the students could meet up with their friends and feel themselves a part of a community," Leah told lubavitch.com.
By then, Schaeffer, who graduated in 2011, was no longer on campus. But like other graduates, she was grateful for the Chabad representatives who "changed my life in Boulder," and remained in close contact with them.
The young graduate appreciated their vision for a new space. "I wanted future generations to have a home so that others won't feel lost. I want others to experience what I had, but even better," she says. So she discussed giving back to Chabad with her parents, George Schaeffer and Miriam Schaeffer, who had followed their daughter's positive relationship with the Wilhelms.
The Schaeffer family joined the Rohr Family Foundation with initial funding of 1.5 million dollars towards the acquisition of a building, and the Wilhelms were beginning to see their vision take hold.
Centrally located in the campus's popular Hill neighborhood, the 1928 Italianate style building was a sorority. It was modernized and doubled in size in 1965 by a fraternity, and further modified by the University of Colorado as their Economics Institute in 1979. In its new incarnation, the Schaeffer Jewish Student Center that would house all of the Rohr Chabad House programs, would need a gut renovation.
Plans were drafted, zoning permits were sorted out in aprocess that took three years. Last May, parents and students came out to launch the project. Larry Halpern, a CU alumnus and father of past and current CU students, was brimming with anticipation. "We can't wait to see what the Wilhelms can accomplish in the new Schaeffer Family Student Center," he told the crowd to rousing applause.
Designed as a space conducive to a comprehensive Jewish community experience for the students, at the center of the new building is a lounge featuring a kosher snack bar, a game area, a multimedia entertainment center, quiet study nooks and plenty of comfortable couches and seating. A kitchen, dining room, study space with a Judaic library, mimics a Jewish home environment. And illuminated basketball and volleyball courts offer students a seamless experience.
"If students begin to see this as their Jewish community, they will become more engaged and involved, participating in Shabbat dinners and in the educational programming we offer here," Leah Wilhelm says.
Mark Loewenstein, a CU law professor who spent time at the Wilhelms' home, expects the new center to attract more Jewish students. "We have been over there for Shabbat, for the chagim, and a lot of students are participating in the programs," he tells lubavitch.com.

(Nanowerk News) The Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center has begun a new initiative for the development of new products and companies using advanced materials technologies within the energy industry. Recently, the Center won a $500,000 grant from Pennsylvania's Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority to support the effort.
The Center is providing federal matching funds with the state money using its existing Air Force Research Laboratories grant, along with matches from regional industry to create a $1.1 million program that will continue through December 31, 2010.
to create innovative new ideas for solving the nation's energy challenges, using advanced materials.
to create and support new researcher-industry partnerships to commercialize these new technologies.
To support the first objective, the Center, in partnership with The Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, had planned two workshops this fall, billed as "Advanced Materials Research for Energy Applications." The first event was held in State College this week and the second one is scheduled for November 3 and 4 at the University of Pittsburgh.
The Center has received more than 37 abstracts on unique technologies from university researchers and start-up companies which are being showcased at the two events. Outcomes from the workshops will be new energy solutions in a wide range of topic areas including; solar, wind, storage, efficiency enhancements and technologies related to traditional energy generation, such as coal and natural gas.
For the second objective of the program, the Center will provide grants to new or existing industry-university partnerships to accelerate the commercialization of the technologies to market. These grants will come in two forms; the first will be pre-commercialization grants to university or company researchers with a commercialization sponsor. These projects will support the final development of the technology. The second grant will be for small and large companies to commercialize their technologies for specific product applications.
Pennsylvania is one of the leading states in the country for innovation in advanced materials for energy.
Pennsylvania already has significant industrial presence and employment in the advanced materials for energy sector.
The Commonwealth already has significant alignment between its industry base and research assets in almost all segments of the energy market.
The mission of the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center is to promote and support the commercialization of nanomaterials research for new and enhanced products critical to the U.S. economy and manufacturing base. The center builds upon Pennsylvania's excellence in advanced materials research, development and manufacturing, and it acts as a new model for a public-private partnership among government, universities, entrepreneurs, small and large companies to accelerate the transition from nanomaterials invention and innovation to new products and new companies.

Abridged Compact Disk
Unabridged Compact Disk
The #1 New York Times bestselling novel that picks up where the "tight, right, and dynamite" (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) The Last Man left off, The Survivor is a no-holds-barred race to save America…and Mitch Rapp's finest battle.
When Joe "Rick" Rickman, former golden boy of the CIA, steals a massive amount of the Agency's most classified documents in an elaborate betrayal of his country, CIA director Irene Kennedy has no choice but to send her most dangerous weapon after him: elite covert operative Mitch Rapp.
Rapp quickly dispatches with the traitor, but Rickman proves to be a deadly threat to America even from beyond the grave. In fact, mysterious tip-offs are appearing all over the world, linking to the potentially devastating data that Rickman managed to store somewhere only he knew.
It's a deadly race to the finish as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search desperately for Rickman's accomplices, and for the confidential documents they are slowly leaking to the world. To save his country from being held hostage to a country set on becoming the world's newest nuclear superpower, Mitch Rapp must outrun, outthink, and outgun his deadliest enemies yet in this heart-pounding adventure that proves that Vince Flynn "is a master—maybe the master—of thrillers in which the pages seem to turn themselves" (Bookreporter).

"Flynn is a master--maybe the master--of thrillers in which the pages seem to turn themselves."
– Book Reporter
"Flynn has never been better."
– Providence Journal
"The biggest compliment one can give Mills is that it's totally unclear where Flynn's work ends and his begins, in The Survivor."
– San Jose Mercury News
"Mills has created a wonderful tribute to Flynn while also writing a great novel. While thriller readers and fans miss Flynn, Mills was the perfect choice, and Rapp will continue in good hands."
"Mills perfectly treads the line of bringing his own considerable talent and style to the table while being respectful of the source material and seemingly channeling Flynn's own voice."
– Bookreporter.com
"The Survivor is truly a magnificent book."
– San Diego Book Review
"The book is vintage Flynn/Rapp."
– The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC)
"Superb… the greatest post 9/11 series going."

American Association for University Women Records (DeKalb), 1934-1996 | Northern Illinois University
Title: American Association for University Women Records (DeKalb), 1934-1996
Mrs. Karl Adams organized the DeKalb Branch of the American Association of University Women on March 20, 1930. Forty-five women attended the first meeting. The purpose of the organization was to develop opportunities for higher education for women and to create and maintain high standards in those institutions admitting women students. Membership to the organization is limited to alumnae of colleges and universities which have been accredited by the national association. The organization's membership increased progressively over the years with the largest increase in 1939 when the Northern Illinois State Teachers College was accredited.
Throughout it's history, the DeKalb AAUW sponsored benefit recitals, international fairs, and other fund-raising programs to support educational fellowships for young women of the community. The organization had informative programs presented by professors, club members, and community professionals at their monthly meetings. Within the organization, various sub-groups were formed including arts, education, social studies, international relations, and status of women to familiarize members with different facets of social concerns.
At the April 27, 1996 meeting the board of directors was unable to identify a slate of elected and appointed officers to perform the duties as prescribed by the branch bylaws for the next two year term. Given that the branch was unable to continue to function, a motion was made and seconded that the board of directors meet prior to June 30, 1996 to plan the orderly dissolution of the branch, in accordance with branch and AAUW-Illinois, Inc. bylaws. A vote was taken and the motion passed, unanimously.
On May 16, 1996, the board members met to discuss arrangements for dissolution. The alternative of functioning as a satellite of the Rockford or the St. Charles-Geneva branch was discussed and rejected. The board informed all members of their option to continue as AAUW members-at-large, and the procedures and costs for doing so. All branch assets and properties remaining after payment of all costs and expenses were turned over to the AAUW Educational Foundation, in compliance with AAUW-Illinois, Inc. bylaws. The final meeting of the members was held on June 22, 1996 at the home of Ruth Briles.

The Stones Are Hatching is a young adult fantasy novel by Geraldine McCaughrean first published in 1999 by Oxford University Press.

Plot
Eleven-year-old Phelim Green awakes to find his house full of small creatures, led by the Domovoy which has been living behind his stove. As the Domovoy explains to Phelim that the monsters attacking him are called 'hatchlings', the house is attacked by a monstrous black dog. The Domovoy saves Phelim from being eaten, but evicts him from his house.

Confused, Phelim wanders into a forest, where he meets a tree-dwelling tramp named Mad Sweeney, and later sees a washerwoman cleaning a bloody shirt. He flees in terror, encountering Alexia, a strange girl with no shadow, on a bridge. They are attacked by a hatchling that uses treasure to lure Phelim into the river. The pair are saved by Sweeney, who explains that the hatchlings come from 'stones' hatched by a gigantic Stoor Worm buried under Europe, which has been awoken by the sound of artillery from the First World War. Alexia tells Phelim that he is 'Jack O'Green', the hero fated to stop the worm from destroying Europe, helped by the Maiden, the Fool, and the Horse.

After performing a spell to summon the Horse, Phelim, Alexia and Sweeney are joined by a talking creature made of cloth called the Obby Oss. It takes them to Storidge, where the Worm's head is. Upon arrival, the trio undertake a variety of quests before discovering that Mr. Pringle, the Storidge librarian, has taken control of the town and is forcing its residents to perform ancient rituals to ward off the hatchlings. Pringle learns that Phelim is Jack O'Green and convinces him to take part in a tradition of carrying a burning bale of straw across the town. Alexia takes the bale from him and tries to continue the ritual, but it sets her on fire and she dies.

Sweeney and Phelim use Alexia's bones to make a 'witch's ladder' which they use to climb the cliff up to the Stoor Worm's head. At the top of the cliff, Phelim sees the Worm's soul wandering out of her mouth as she dreams; he attacks it and throws into the sea, killing the Worm. Sweeney and Phelim resurrect Alexia, but she is not the same, so they change her name to Aisling, meaning 'dream'.

Phelim returns home and confronts his older sister Prudence. He discovers that his father didn't die, as she had always told him; he was a dreamer, which Prudence hated, so after their mother died, she had him committed to an asylum. Angry, Phelim summons the ushtey, a water spirit, and tricks Prudence into riding it. It carries her away to the ocean, where she presumably drowns. As the story ends, Phelim and Aisling go to the asylum, where they find that his father is the gardener.

Themes
The book is set in 1919. The hatchlings of the book echo the horrors of war.

McCaughrean uses various creatures from English, Irish, Manx, Orcadian, Scottish, and Slavic folklore and mythology, including the bean-nighe, bugganes, the Domovoy, merrows, the neck, the nuckelavee, the Stoor Worm, and ushteys.

Background
McCaughrean has said that in the process of writing The Stones Are Hatching: "I took it apart so many times, it was like that blouse you make in school that you hate the sight of. I thought it had done for me, that I'd never again enjoy writing".

Reception
Kirkus Reviews compared the book favourably with the "resounding menace" of William Mayne's Hob and the Goblins, but criticised the "distracting family subplot".

In January 2000, children's author Linda Newbery chose The Stones Are Hatching for Books for Keeps magazine's regular "I Wish I'd Written..." feature, stating: "The writing is so marvellous that you can open the book at random and find a brilliant, memorable description".

« We've Created a Monster!
Anyone who has thoroughly perused JibJab has probably noticed our intricate stop-motion animations. There have been an array of amazing clay creatures seen on our site and this week we've been breathing life into this quirky little pine tree using the infamous frame by frame capture process. It's mind meltingly tedious work, but the end result is always something to be marveled at. Here Devin, our master of claymation manipulates the tree's trunk so that it can move and groove on our snowy set. You'll see this one with the rest of our holiday stuff in just a few months!

this is exciting. Love claymation, but then again, I love anything you do.


Hi! I am Mrs. Hoyt and I teach 3rd Grade Math and Language Arts. This is my first year in 3rd grade but my 7th year teaching at West Clayton. I received my BA in Elementary Education, American Studies, and Special Education in New Jersey from the College of Saint Elizabeth in 2009. I am certified in Gifted Education as well. This will be my 7th year teaching. I am married to my husband and have been for almost 7 years. We have one daughter, Amelia Grace, who just turned 3. I am orginally from Hamburg, New Jersey (the northern part of Jersey) and moved down to North Carolina in November of 2011. I visit my family in New Jersey often - my in-laws, my sister, and my grandparents are still up there. My parents live in Myrtel Beach so I see them pretty often. A few of my favorite things are Pigs, whales, Starbucks, Dr. Pepper, Superhereos, Harry Potter, I love to cook/bake, and spend time with my family. My husband is a big runner, he runs ultra-marathons, Amelia and I love to go watch him run. Teaching is something I have always wanted to do since I was little, it is something that I am truly passionate about and I love what each and every student brings to my classroom each and everyday.

It made stars of Hanks, Daryl Hannah, and John Candy and an A-list director out of Howard. Hannah is a mermaid who comes to Manhattan in search of Hanks, the guy she has twice saved from drowning. Hanks runs a business with his lovable blowhard brother (Candy), whose goal in life is to have a letter published in Penthouse. When this perfect woman shows up, Hanks can't believe his luck and plunges into a dizzyingly romantic relationship, unaware of her sea-water secret. But the mermaid needs to soak and unfurl her tail from time to time, which leads to complications, including her capture by the government for scientific study (what else?). Hanks is winningly charming and Hannah is a perfect match in this enjoyably high-spirited comedy, though the biggest laughs belong to Candy. —Marshall Fine

Well, I've now been on hiatus for two weeks, instead of one, and I figure it's about time I get back to this blog.
So for today's Writer Wednesday I'm going to be talking about the Vancouver International Writer's Festival, happening October 18th-23rd.
VIWF is something that my mother has been volunteering for for the past several years. Now that I have no school this semester (yay!) I've signed up to volunteer as well. VIWF is held on Granville Island and has 69 events over the 6 days that it's held. It's the largest literary festival in Canada. Writers from across the country and the world come to talk about their works, the writing process, the topics their writing covers, and much more. There are parties, get-togethers, and even a writing contest. They also have a bunch of morning events that are ideal for school groups — reaching out to youth about writing, reading, literacy, and the world of words.
This week-long event is a fantastic opportunity for networking. Granville Island is literally crawling with writers, pens in hand, insane glints in eyes. (All writers are insane. We admit this happily.) It's also a fantastic opportunity to see your favourite writers speak: a few years ago mom scored us tickets to see Ursula K. LeGuin talk. She was amazing (as expected). I was hoping to see Michael Moore this year (there's a special pre-festival event for part of his book tour) but the tickets are already sold out. Mom's excited about Russell Banks coming and reading from his new book.
I'm hoping that next year I'll be invited to the festival, as a debut author in British Columbia. I just need to prod my publishing company to submit my name for review.
If you're in the area, you should definitely consider coming to the festival. It's not too late to apply to be a volunteer, too — deadline is Sept. 26th for new volunteers — so that's also an option. It's an event you don't want to miss.
Have you ever been to a writer's festival, as a writer or a reader? What was it like? If you haven't been, do you think you'd ever go to one? Why or why not?

For the past couple of weeks I've been experiencing intermittent boot problems with my desktop machine running Windows XP. As anyone who has ever worked in tech support will tell you, these are the type of problems that give tech support agents nightmares. Though when I say intermittent, the error would appear on every second boot. Restarting the system would resolve the problem.
I tried searching Google and the Microsoft Knowledge Base for answers, but not one of the pages I found seemed to deal with my particular problem. Given that the problem would resolve itself after a hard restart I began to think that it might be a hardware problem – this kind of symptom might be related to a component which wasn't initialising correctly, and was causing the OS to blue-screen. By the time I restarted the system, it had "warmed up", and that's why it was only on every second boot that I was seeing the problem.
This particular machine is only a couple of months old, and as you can imagine I wasn't too happy that it was beginning to fail on me, especially as I store all my important data on it.
But more in hope than expectation I decided to ignore the possibility of a hardware issue, and troubleshoot the software side. From experience I've found that more often than not when Windows blue-screens it's driver related, and even more often than not the driver responsible is the video driver.
My PC has an nVidia Geforce 7500 card, so I updated the drivers to the latest ForceWare driver version 94.24. A quick restart, and the problem was solved.
While my problem is resolved, I don't know what caused it in the first place. I haven't installed or changed anything on the machine in a while, except for the usual Microsoft Updates. The only thing that I can think of is that an update from Microsoft didn't like the video driver on my computer, and that there was a timing issue with the initialisation of the driver. That's not s definitive answer, but I think it's a fairly decent guess.

Rebecca von Gyer creates these stunning rugs for her company Gyer from the finest New Zealand wool. They are designed to be runners or rugs of any size. Playful luxury, vibrant colour ways, lush under foot.
I would give ANYTHING to be able to rip up the carpeting on my stairs and use one of these runners. AMAZING!!!!
The colours are amazing and you can just feel the lush pile through the computer screen (especially when you click on the images). YUM!
I'm drooling. I love the marrimeko-ish red flowers.
Now THOSE are cool runners. FUN!

Q: How to JOIN two SQL tables to get a specific additional data based on matching id's I haven't done a JOIN query in a long time, so I'm pretty rusty. What I have: a table called triggers and users. Initially, I just had a query that selected all of the information from the triggers table. This includes a user_id. Well, instead of just showing a user_id, I thought it would make sense to turn the user_id into the username.
The records are from all sorts of usernames, therefore the username shown will have to match the user_id from the triggers table to the id of the users table. This is where I get lost. I can't figure out what to do once I match the t.user_id with the u.id. How do I get the u.username for these records?
I still want all the records to show just as it would if you do SELECT * FROM triggers. I just want to be able to use the correct username for the record.
Here is what I've tried. I get errors starting here:
SELECT (
    u.username
):

Any help would be appreciated. The database tables are shown below.
$sql_triggers = "
    SELECT
        t.*,
        u.id,
        u.username
    FROM
        triggers AS t
    LEFT JOIN
        users AS u ON t.user_id = u.id
        SELECT (
            u.username
        )
";
$triggers_stmt = $con->prepare($sql_triggers);
$triggers_stmt->execute();
$triggers_rows = $triggers_stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$triggers_arr = array();
foreach ($triggers_rows as $triggers_row) {
    $trigger_id = $triggers_row['id'];
    $trigger_title = $triggers_row['trigger_name'];
    $trigger_description = $triggers_row['description'];
    $trigger_setting = $triggers_row['setting'];
    $trigger_user = $triggers_row['user_id'];
    $trigger_placement = $triggers_row['placement'];
    $trigger_date = $triggers_row['date_changed'];

triggers = t
CREATE TABLE `triggers` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `trigger_name` varchar(70) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `setting` varchar(20) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `description` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
 `placement` varchar(10) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `date_changed` datetime NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci

users = u
CREATE TABLE `users` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `firstname` varchar(55) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `lastname` varchar(55) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `email` varchar(55) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `username` varchar(70) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `password` varchar(100) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `salt` varchar(100) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `joined` datetime NOT NULL,
 `last_login` datetime NOT NULL,
 `group` int(11) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=24 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_c

A: for sql code you need  only
SELECT
    t.*,
    u.id,
    u.username
FROM  triggers AS t
LEFT JOIN  users AS u ON t.user_id = u.id
