The Museum is open today!
Please note that the Cathedral Treasury and the Prehistory, Roman Era and Modern Era collection are temporarily closed because of upcoming remodeling and renovation.
The funerary crowns of the Salian emperors, Henry III's imperial orb and Henry IV's gold ring are among the unique objects from the imperial and royal tombs in Speyer Cathedral where a total of eight emperors and kings and three empresses were interred. Their graves were opened and studied in 1900. The grave goods found in the process are the centerpiece of the "Cathedral Treasury" collection.
The most valuable objects from the cathedral treasury on display were and still are used for worship services. These include the so-called Lehrbach Chalice, which made its way to Speyer Cathedral as a gift from Count Damian Hugo Philipp of Lehrbach. This golden chalice is set with rock crystal, rubies, diamonds, emeralds and amethysts and decorated with six mother of pearl reliefs showing scenes from the Old Testament.
Prächtiger Fingerring aus dem Grab Heinrichs IV., 11. Jahrhundert.
Zu den prachtvollsten liturgischen Geräten des Domschatzes gehört der goldene Lehrbach-Kelch.
The eventful history of the city of Speyer and the entire region is reflected in the nearly 1000 year history of the construction of Speyer Cathedral. A virtual reconstruction will transport you into the past and presents the history of the cathedral's construction on three large screens connected in parallel.


the Eurostar Hotel located right on the River Douro a short walk from the historic center of town. We had the afternoon to settle in and get our bearings by taking a walk around the waterfront and up the hill to the old town on the top of the cliffs along the river. We had been here a couple of weeks ago so we had some idea of where we were although at that time we had stayed at a hotel several miles down the river. We did stop with friends for a bite to eat at a local café where Kent and I tried the local sandwich called Francesinha. A Francesinha is a sandwich made with white bread, cured ham, linguica, fresh sausage, steak with melted cheese over it and a hot thick tomato and beer sauce over the top. Of course they serve this with fries and the option of a fried egg on top!
At 6:00pm the entire group gathered to take a short walking tour of our new neighborhood, crossing the double decker bridge to the Gaia district on the opposite site of the river for dinner. The Gaia district is where most of the port wine has been processed and warehoused over the years and is a tourist area today with many restaurants, wine and port tasting rooms, along with ice cream shops.
The restaurant where we all had dinner was called the Sandeman and is connected to the Sandeman Port Wine business which has been here since about 1797. We started out the meal with plenty of red and white wine, olives, bread and appetizers if we liked. Kent had a sausage called Cachorro Quente which is prepared tableside over a fire. For entrees Mark had a delicious pasta carbonara and Kent had a wonderful and generous sized mango and mozzarella salad. For dessert Kent and Christine Z., our group leaders, ordered drunken pears in port wine and a frosted sponge cake which were both delicious. Little did we know this was only the beginning of the desserts. Next came a large plate with six more desserts for each four people to share. And if this was not enough then came the samples of the Sandeman port wines. We had a golden-colored White Port, a darker brown colored port called Tawny Port and then a dark reddish-brown port called Ruby Port. Everything was very good but it was way too much food.

French Toast the Keto Way!
Ok, so this recipe might be cheating a tad bit, because it relies on our signature keto bread recipe. If you haven't made it before, check it out! It's super simple and comes out consistently great every time. Conquering keto bread can really help with adherence to the keto diet if you're having trouble giving up all of your old favorite dishes. We're going to take this bread on a magical journey and turn it into low carb french toast sticks!
We're going to make this low carb french toast the same way you would make traditional french toast, with the only difference being that we are using low carb bread. This recipe can also be used for normal french toast, but I prefer to go with french toast sticks because you have more surface area, and therefore more flavor gets into the bread.
The mixture we are going to coat the bread in is also very easy to customize based on the flavors you're going for. I'm a big fan of maple cinnamon french toast, so that's what I go with here. 1 egg makes enough batter for 8-10 large french toast sticks, so scale up this recipe accordingly. Combine 1 egg, 1 tbsp cream and any other flavors you want. I add 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. If you have a liquid sweetener you are going to want to add it into the batter mixture as well. If you plan on using a powdered sweetener you can dust it on at the end. I usually omit sweeteners when cooking for myself, but these are definitely boosted by a bit of sweetener.
Once coated in the batter you have a few options with your low carb french toast sticks. You can let them sit for 5 minutes so the batter penetrates to the middle and makes the bread a bit soggier/moister. This will result in a softer center in the finished product. I like to throw mine in the pan right after I coat them. We're going to be frying these in Ghee, but you can also use coconut oil. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, for a total cook time of 8 minutes or until golden brown.
Stack the finished low carb french toast sticks into a stack and top with butter and sugar free maple syrup. Redi Whip also goes great on these and is relatively low carb. If you want to get crazy you can whip up your own whipped cream(as shown in the picture). Just use 1/2c heavy whipping cream, some sweetener, and maybe even some cinnamon and beat for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!
If you haven't already, start by baking a loaf of Our Favorite Keto Bread!
Server with butter and sugar free syrup and dust with cinnamon. Enjoy!
1 Serving is 8 French Toast Sticks.
The nutrition listed is for 1 serving, which is all 8 French Toast Sticks.


Launching this week at the Travel Retail exhibition, Cannes TFWA, The Royal Legacy of 1745 celebrates the centenary of the first commercial bottling of Drambuie in Edinburgh in 1909. A travel retail exclusive, The Royal Legacy of 1745 is a sublime interpretation of the original royal spirit enjoyed by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745.
At its heart remains the Prince's legacy – his secret elixir of exotic herbs and spices sourced from around the globe and unchanged for 260 years. Today of course our master blender has the luxury of hand picking a bespoke selection of Scotland's finest rare aged malts to complement the elixir's distinctive flavour notes.
Drambuie's art of spirit infusion, perfected over the past century, is taken to new heights with The Royal Legacy of 1745. Hand crafted cask infusion and small batch production guarantee unique product quality in strictly limited quantities. The finished product is bottled at 46%ABV to enhance the intensity of flavour.
Presented in an embossed decanter, crowned with a weighty cork stopper, The Royal Legacy of 1745, evokes the luxury and indulgence of a bygone regal age. Taking its cue from the new distinctive core Drambuie packaging, the sword slashes on the shoulders and the interlocking DDs trademark are central features of the decanter.
Each decanter's presentation box will be individually authenticated with the bottling date, bottle number and signature of the Drambuie Master Blender.
Miranda Rennie, Marketing Director for Drambuie Liqueur Co. commented: "The Royal Legacy of 1745 is a unique signature statement of Drambuie's art, craftsmanship and heritage.
The Drambuie Liqueur Co. Ltd is an independent, family owned business that has been producing the world-renowned Drambuie Liqueur since 1909. Drambuie is regarded as one of the Top 5 Liqueurs ever produced (Paul Pacult, Spirit's Journal, 2008) and remains a Top 50 global spirit in volume (IWSR, 2008). The launch of The Royal Legacy of 1745 is a major step in Drambuie's marketing strategy for GTR, which is an important part of its overall rejuvenation strategy to reposition the brand to appeal to new and younger consumers.
The Royal Legacy of 1745™ is available exclusively through select international Travel Retail outlets (70cl & 75cl, 46% ABV, TR RSP of £125/€159/$229).

Australian youtuber known for Disney remixes hates gay people
Australian electronic musician Nick Bertke, known by his username Pogo, has more than 700,000 subscribers on YouTube and has received hundreds of millions of views with his musical covers, remixes and mash-ups. But the 29-year-old has been condemned by his fellow YouTube creators and his own fanbase as it turned out that he used to have another Youtube channel through which he was spreading homophobic hate. "I've never liked a grown man acting like a 12-year-old girl. I've always found that to be quite disgusting," he said. "I don't want to really get into this, but when there was the Orlando shooting and the guy was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' or something I was like [celebrating]". He tried to excuse himself saying that he actually did not like people being killed in nightclubs, but it was the worst backtracking ever as in the end he said that Orlando tragedy was 'fantastic'. "It amazes me to see the West welcoming in a culture through the floodgates that wants gays dead. [laughter] Amazing."

HIV+ chefs are fighting against stigma


On October 1, 2010, the government of Pakistan shut down the supply route for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) after an incursion into Pakistan's territory by NATO forces, killing 16 Pakistanis in collateral damage. Two days later, militants torched 28 NATO supply trucks near Shikarpur in the southern province of Sindh. These events reflect the inherent tension both in Pakistan's counterterrorism strategy and in its relationship with the United States and its allies in fighting the war in Afghanistan. The future of U.S. military operations in South Asia depends on the convergence of policies between the United States and Pakistan, but since the war began in 2001, interpreting Islamabad's counterterrorism policy has been difficult.
Pakistan's counterterrorism strategy in Afghanistan is rife with inherent contradictions, caught between an inclination to fight militant forces and yet having to partner with some to strengthen its future bargaining position. The policy flows out of Pakistan's multiple strategic requirements: its need to remain engaged with the United States, to save itself from the Taliban attacking the Pakistani state, and to fight India's growing presence in Afghanistan. Caught between these three issues, Islamabad's counterterrorism policy and objectives continue to lack clarity. At best, the policy illustrates the tension between Islamabad's need to protect itself against an internal enemy and its sensitivity toward the external threat from India.
The primary flaw of Pakistan's counterterrorism policy, however, is that it is defined and driven by the military and that institution's strategic objectives. It is easier to use the military option than to address the problem of changing the basic narrative and socioeconomic conditions that drive militancy in the first place. The need to create an alternative political narrative and change the mindset in Pakistan to address those socioeconomic conditions is a far more critical issue, which receives less attention than it deserves.

Sean McDermott: We collectively have to raise our game with Tre'Davious White out
Posted by Josh Alper on December 1, 2021, 7:09 AM EST
The Bills lost a big piece of their defense in their Thanksgiving night win over the Saints.
Cornerback Tre'Davious White tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the season as a result of the injury. White was the team's top cornerback and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said on Tuesday that he leaves "some big shoes to fill" because of his ability to match up with No. 1 receivers on a weekly basis.
Head coach Sean McDermott said that filling those shoes won't come down to one player making up for what the team loses with White out of action.
"It is next-man-up, regardless," McDermott said, via the team's website. "But I think collectively as a team, we've got to take our game another level."
Dane Jackson was mentioned as one player who is set for a bigger role and the new look defense will get a quick test against the Patriots on Monday night.

ibillwt says:
Vrabel was missing half his roster facing the patriots and there was never a whimper.
jimmytwotimes says:
Not sure the Bills will miss White that much against the Patriots, who don't really have a no. 1 receiver on offense, although Kendrick Bourne seems to be heading into that direction.
redclaw1314 says:
New England traded away their #1 corner this year and their #1 slot corner (one of the best in the league) is on season ending IR. The Pats, seemingly, haven't skipped a beat. I don't see a problem with White being out for the Bills.
zombiepatriot says:
If there is a positive for the Bills they go into the game with no film as to how they'll handle the absence of White. So, it could be a game where Jones really shows how far along he's come as a starting QB.
Go Pats!
therealtrenches says:
Belichick will watch the game from last year when Andy Reid ran a clinic on how to beat McDermott: Clyde got the ball 26 times and gashed them for 161 yards at at 6.2 yard per carry clip. It kept Josh Allen off the field and exposed McDermott for the same weakness he had when he was DC for the Eagles and the Panthers.
billsrthefuture says:
Not really a whimper here, either. McD is just stating the reality, and the aspiration for how the team responds.
Tre is one of the best players on that team, and it's not an easy loss. But Bills fans have also been excited about the development of Dane Jackson, and this really gives him an opportunity to show what he can do. I don't anticipate a major drop-off w/ the way the coaches scheme & the way they use the secondary.
buzzly says:
Buffalo 20F weather will be the biggest defender against Mac Jones.


Week 22 – Hello, calling again!
How soon we forget how over a year we have changed what that "Comfort Zone" entails. What we really need to remember is that as we expand our "Comfort Zone", we can't turn back and let it shrink. Yes, there is always another step to expand it out even further but that is because it is not just getting easier but it means more each and every time.


April 17, 1964, Friday. FINALLY GOT SOME HAIRSPRAY!!
While we were at the apartment, Dave Kendal was across the street at the Flying Jib. Doug say's he loves me. I don't love him.
Handed in Lauri's book report as my own. I know the teacher will find out. There was a big Fashion Show at school… it was so bitchen! Doug was supposed to pick me up at 7:00, but didn't get here until 7:30. I was so mad. I wore Mommy's dress and coat I gave her for Christmas and my matching shoes. Doug couldn't get over how bitchen I looked, he just kept staring at me. What am I going to do? He likes me too much! We went out to eat at Frier's. We tripled with Gary, Dean, Sue and Vicky. After, we went to Doug's apartment at Toes, it's so bitchen, a real beach pad…I love it. He drank 10 cans of beer. We watched TV and listened to records. He tried to kiss me. I wouldn't let him. I kissed him on the way home! He said he doesn't want to loose me, he acts like we've been going together a long time.
With a fresh can of Hair Spray it's easy to see the effect a great hairdo had on a guy. He had to drink 10 beers to get the nerve to kiss me.
Gee do you think Doug was setting me up by taking me to his bitchen Beach-Pad, with a stack of 45's playing on the Record Player, including the most Romantic song ever…I'm sure!… But, it didn't phase me!

I have used quite a few different photo product websites, such as Snapfish and Truprint. A few years ago I was introduced to Photobox by a friend and was really impressed by the quality of their products and the ability to customise your chosen item. When they recently contacted me to review one of their canvasses I was more than happy to.
We have quite a few canvases in our house so I decided it would be the perfect gift for my sister-in-law whose birthday is around this time. She is Disney obsessed and we have previously bought her one of the Annie Leibovitz celebrity prints, so we decided to go for one of those again. After much deliberation we chose the Penelope Cruz and Jeff Bridges as Beauty and the Beast print.
I thought I would try something a little different than the usual canvas, so opted for an acrylic print. The site is really easy to use, I chose my product then had the option of rectangular, square or panoramic and up to six different sizes. I then clicked 'create now' and entered the studio where I uploaded my photo and had the option to edit it. Once I was happy with the image I saved it to my basket and then checked out.
The print arrived only four days after I ordered it, which is fantastic, and I was so impressed with it. It is similar to a clip frame but without the clips and a lot higher quality. There is a really sturdy hangers at the back and pads so that it stands out from the wall, creating a 3D effect.
The picture has printed out really well and suits the frame perfectly. I think my sister-in-law will be thrilled with the gift and I am sure it will be cherished for years to come.
*I was sent this item for free for review, however all opinions are my own.

Nearly one billion Facebook users worldwide will access the social network on a mobile phone at least once each month in 2015, according to a new forecast from eMarketer, who for the first time breaks down mobile phone Facebook users by country.
One billion mobile Facebook users are setting the pace
eMarketer estimates further that over 70% of all Facebook users globally will be mobile this year, and by 2018, more than three-quarters of the social network's audience will access the platform via mobile phones on a regular basis, totaling 1.34 billion users.
Indeed, it is no secret that mobile has been the key driver of growth in Facebook's advertising business in the past 12 months. In 2013, 45.0% of Facebook's $6.99 billion in advertising revenues worldwide came via mobile ads. This year, mobile ads will account for 73.0%—or $10.90 billion—of the social network's ad revenues worldwide, eMarketer believes.
"Facebook has been a leader helping marketers to transition to mobile advertising," said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer. "Because the Facebook experience is basically the same across devices, advertisers don't have to reinvent the wheel to place mobile advertising. As Facebook's user base shifts even more heavily toward mobile, it is well positioned to see increasing ad revenues from this channel."
Overall, there will be 1.58 billion mobile phone social network users worldwide in 2015, according to eMarketer. Even considering the ban in China and strong local social networks in other large-population countries like Russia, mobile Facebook users will still represent more than 60% of the worldwide mobile social audience.
The US will remain the largest market for mobile phone Facebook users this year, and nearly 80% of users in the country, or 123.1 million people, will access the site regularly via mobile phones. Mobile ads will account for 74.0% of the company's ad revenues stateside, eMarketer forecasts, slightly higher than its share on a worldwide basis.
Indonesia outpaces all and stands on top
In its latest release, eMarketer revealed that Indonesia is home to the third-largest Facebook mobile phone audience, after the US and India.
According to eMarketer, 92.4% of Facebook's audience in Indonesia accesses the social networking service through mobile phones at least once per month, putting the country on top of any other country, followed by 79.1% of Facebook users in the US and 82.9% in India.
In fact, virtually all mobile phone social network users in Indonesia are mobile phone Facebook users. In all, just under a quarter of the country's population and 42.0% of mobile phone users will use their devices to access Facebook at least monthly. Hence, Indonesia has the highest penetration among the top 10 countries in terms of mobile phone Facebook users and it is expected that by 2018, that penetration will rise to 98.8%. Further it is believed that the number will approach 100 million and will still be growing at double-digit rates. A majority of mobile phone users in Indonesia will use mobile social networks by 2017, and Facebook mobile phone users will pass the 50% mark in 2018.
India—the world's second-largest Facebook audience—will surpass 100 million mobile phone Facebook users for the first time this year, and by 2017, will have more mobile Facebook users than the US. The UK and Russia are the only other countries in the top 10 where mobile phone Facebook users will account for more than 90% of all Facebook users during our forecast period
Facebook's monetization strategy—the shift to in-feed advertising and the migration to mobile—quite obviously puts the leading social network at the center of the native advertising ecosystem. This means the vast majority of Facebook's nearly $7.9 billion in advertising revenues in the first nine months of 2014 came from native formats (in-feed on desktop, in-stream on mobile).
To date, little of Facebook's native ad inventory has consisted of video assets, but that's about to change. The company has signaled a major push toward video advertising beginning this year, and early signs are starting to appear in users' feeds. eMarketer believes that Facebook's native ads are poised to become a huge revenue driver for the social network—and for native video advertising in general.

Swiss traders grab US$10 billion slice of LNG market
Published by Joseph Green, Editor
LNG Industry, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 15:28
Reuters are reporting that Swiss trading houses are muscling in on the global market for LNG, until now the preserve of energy giants, and expect to grab a US$10 billion share of the rapidly growing business this year.
Trafigura, Gunvor, Vitol and Glencore are all shaking up a decades-old system dominated by Western oil majors and state energy producers which sell LNG directly to large consumers on long-term contracts.
They plan 2017 shipments that will be more than triple the 2015 level.
In the short term, the Swiss traders may prove useful to producers such as Royal Dutch Shell and state-owned Qatargas by finding new buyers in emerging markets, easing a glut that the dominant suppliers helped to create.
But they are determined to challenge the LNG establishment, and have set their sights on supplying not only the fastest-growing consumers like China, India and Pakistan but also the largest, such as power utilities in Japan and South Korea.
The big buyers remain largely locked into long-term deals designed to ensure the producers get a return on their multi-billion dollar LNG investments, but that will not last for ever.
Traders believe they can bring greater liquidity, flexibility and efficiency to the market.
Overall, the four Swiss traders expect to deliver over 25 million t of LNG this year, up from seven million two years ago. Smaller rivals such as Hong Kong-based Noble Group and Dubai-based B.B. Energy should push the total above 30 million tpy.
Many countries are hungry for gas as a lower carbon, less polluting alternative to oil and coal for generating power. With pipeline supplies either limited by capacity or impractical, LNG – where gas is cooled to a liquid for delivery by sea – has become the fastest growing traded commodity.
Numerous LNG projects, conceived before the 2008 financial crisis slowed world economic growth, are starting production. Between 2015 and 2020, global supply will grow by 135 million tpy or nearly 50%, largely from plants in Australia and the US.
However, an expected leap in US import demand has failed to materialise as buyers opt for gas from domestic shale deposits. The resulting glut has pushed spot prices down by 70% from a peak in early 2014 LNG-AS, giving the traders their chance to gain a foothold.
LNG production is set to hit 293 million t this year. That means the traders will deliver 8.5% of global supply.
Over-investment in new production has undercut the producers' dominance and traders are mopping up the surplus at prices often below the cost of production.
Trafigura leads by volume, expecting to deliver around 7.5 million t this year.
Gunvor will raise its LNG shipments this year substantially from the nearly four million t it delivered in 2016, putting it not far behind Trafigura.
Vitol plans to raise 2017 volumes to at least seven million t, according to a presentation to customers earlier this year, from less than three million in 2016. Glencore's new team is to rack up around 3.5 million tpy.
All four are used to working in politically complex markets involving high credit risks. So far they have concentrated on customers such as Egypt and Pakistan, countries with rapidly rising energy needs due to high population growth.
Some are moving beyond trading, seeking stakes in LNG production and leasing capacity in facilities such as floating import terminals, which are far cheaper than those on dry land.
Trafigura and Gunvor are involved in floating terminals in Pakistan, and Gunvor struck a deal in January to supply the country for five years.
Traders are also targeting more established markets. While major Chinese importers mainly have long-term contracts, a number of new players in the country such as ENN and Guanghui Energy Co Ltd are increasingly in the market for LNG.
Developed economies also offer opportunities, including Britain which relies heavily on Norway for gas and Qatar for LNG. Trafigura hopes to reopen a defunct LNG import terminal in northeast England, which could also supply the continent by pipeline.
Competition is stiff in securing supplies, including using the relatively untested technology of floating production platforms. Last month, Gunvor beat Vitol to take output from Africa's first deepwater FLNG project in Equatorial Guinea for 10 years.
It offered to help finance state-run Sonagas's 30% stake in the US$2 billion scheme, marking the first time a trade house has helped bankroll an LNG project.
Gunvor is also the first trading house with access to long-term LNG supply, obtained from Russia's Yamal project. This will start exports later this year.
Vitol has secured a multi-year supply deal with Angola's sole LNG export project, which is led by Chevron. Originally the plant was supposed to supply the US under long-term deals but these never materialised due to the shale gas boom and technical problems.
While emerging markets offer rapid growth, Egypt, for instance, piled up payment arrears of half a billion dollars last year. Some industry figures believe similar problems will crop up among the new batch of LNG importers.
Pakistan's sovereign credit rating, for instance, is deep in junk territory. By contrast Japan's JERA, a tie-up of Tokyo Electric Power Co and Chubu Electric which is the world's biggest LNG buyer, has a high investment grade rating, as does the global number two, Korea Gas Corp.
Competition is also shrinking trading margins. As recently as 2013, traders could pocket millions of dollars on a single trade but that has shrunk to about US$750 000.
To compensate traders are taking bigger positions in the market. Wrong-way bets, however, can mean heavy losses and unlike in oil, traders can't anchor laden tankers at sea in the hope that prices pick up because LNG slowly evaporates.
The Swiss also no longer have the field to themselves as national energy companies and power utilities such as Germany's RWE are expanding their own trading divisions.
For example, Socar Trading, an offshoot of Azerbaijan's state oil company, is working to turn some African countries into LNG importers and has already done so with Malta.

Q: Show remaining time in video recorder in iphone I want to show remaining time on video recorder. Currently it is showing recording time. How can i?
My code is :
UIImagePickerController*  Videopicker1 = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
Videopicker1.delegate = self;
Videopicker1.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
Videopicker1.showsCameraControls = YES;
Videopicker1.videoQuality=UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeLow;
Videopicker1.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie]; // kUTTypeMovie is actually an NSString.
Videopicker1.videoMaximumDuration = 30.0f; // limits video length to 30 seconds.
[self presentModalViewController:Videopicker1 animated:YES];

Thanks in advance.

A: On your VC.h file
@interface VideoCaptureVC_iPhone : UIViewController
<UIActionSheetDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
{
    UIImagePickerController *picker;
    NSTimer *videoTimer;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSTimer *videoTimer;

On your vc.m file
- (void)pickerCameraSnap:(id)sender{
    NSLog(@"start camera capture and timer");
    [picker startVideoCapture];
    self.videoTimer =  [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(changeValue) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

make a calculation as per your need and change the text @"TimeRemaining" in proper place
i have rotated text for landscape view !
-(void)changeValue{
    UILabel *textNameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 30, 100, 100)];
    textNameLabel.center = CGPointMake(30,285);
    textNameLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    textNameLabel.text = @"TimeRemaining";
    textNameLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    CGAffineTransform transformRotate = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation((M_PI  / 2));
    textNameLabel.transform = transformRotate;

    UIView *myOverlay = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    UIImage *overlayImg = [UIImage imageNamed:@"CameraOverlay"];
    UIImageView *overlayBg;
    overlayBg = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:overlayImg];
    [myOverlay addSubview:overlayBg];
    [myOverlay addSubview:textNameLabel];
    [picker setCameraOverlayView:myOverlay];
}

and finally to stop the timer
- (void)stopCamera:(id)sender{
    NSLog(@"stop camera");
    [self.videoTimer invalidate];

    [picker stopVideoCapture];
    [picker setCameraDevice:UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceRear];
}

A: As you have set a video maximum time, and you state you are currently showing the current duration.
TimeRemaining = videoMaximumDuration - currentDuration;

MELINGGIH KELOD, BALI
Volunteering at Begawan Foundation will give you first-hand experience of being a part of our conservation efforts to bring critically endangered Indonesian species back from the brink of extinction. At the Breeding and Release Centre, volunteers help our Bird Keepers with daily animal husbandry and cleaning tasks, and with food preparation and feeding, conducted twice daily for our Bali Starlings, Lorikeets and other species. If you are lucky enough to be present during breeding season, you may help to assist staff feeding any orphaned chicks in the incubator. You will also assist staff to collect nest material around the centre to be placed in the breeding pairs' enclosures and help staff construct nest boxes.
We actively encourage volunteers to help our Breeding and Release Centre staff with monitoring of our wild born and released birds. We use the monitoring data to gain more information on the behaviour of Bali Starlings in the wild, which will allow the Foundation to publish their findings in relevant scientific publications and local and international media.
Begawan Foundation has an active education program in the local elementary and middle schools and offers after-school activities for Bali Starling Eco-Warriors at our own Learning Centre. The Learning Centre assists students with both literacy and numeracy, using games and fun activities in this learning process. The Centre also has a large airy space for additional activities such as wet art and craft, its own kitchen so that students are able to learn to cook as well as apply their Mathematics skills in cooking (measuring, weighing, etc.). It is also strategically placed adjacent to a permaculture garden, a place for students to learn basic principles and enjoy gardening. There are also extra-curricular classes such as Balinese dance and Karate. You may be asked to assist with the preparation and delivery of lessons and student activities. Our motto for our education program is "Learning by Doing" so volunteers can be involved in the interactive learning activities. Our education program aims to give the students a greater understanding and pride in their island's icon, the Bali Starling. The Eco-Warriors program gives the students another opportunity to learn about conservation in a fun out-of-school hours program. If you have skills such as animal husbandry, education, marketing, fundraising, graphic design or experience in a profession which can add value to our current programs, please contact the email admin@begawanfoundation.com.
Interested volunteers may also apply through Bali Internships.
TOM & ENZO
"Alongside assisting with marketing, we also helped to create props and decorations for the student performances, and to spring-clean the Learning Centre. We also had the opportunity to assist with the cricket breeding boxes and helped prepare the wall of the learning centre in order to make it more colorful! We decided to involve the Eco-Warriors for the activity and have prepared a Bali Starling stencil and a "We love Bali Starling" stencil so that the students will be able to paint."
KATHERINA & ANNA
"By volunteering with Begawan Foundation, we undertook real-life experiences that demonstrate when students are given opportunities, they are more involved in conservation efforts. We see how the students always arrive early before the activities and try their best to find the answers and learn during the process. Another interesting observation we had was that the decoration for the Drama Musical was from the environment, using flowers."
AARON NG & NICHOLAS TAM
"We enjoyed observing Bali's wildlife during our time here, and we discovered a lot of new species! (Nicholas) I am a Lepidepterist, and I am amazed at all the different colourful butterflies in the village. We also became aware how significant it is for community and conservation to work together."
ANDRES BICKEL
"I work with one of the most endangered bird species in the world, the Bali Starling, endemic to Bali Indonesia. Volunteering at Begawan Foundation is a unique and fulfilling experience."
AMY DUNSTONE
Amy is from Australian Volunteers for International Development (AVID), an initiative funded by the Australian government. As an Animal Scientist, and in charge of our education program, she has been a member of the team since November last year and will assist us for the next six months.
MARCO KRESSIG
"Volunteering in Sibang at Begawan Foundation was a great experience for me: I celebrated the new and unfamiliar tasks and experienced completely new surrounding. On top of that, all employees of the foundation were the nicest people and made it easy to enjoy my stay there! I really hope to see them again."
MIRIAM FOLK
Miriam assisted the team at Sibang Breeding and Release Centre, with an important role to keep mosquitoes from breeding.
ANNA HIRT
"Volunteering in Bali was kind of a spontaneous thing for me to do. But it happened to be one of the best times in my life that I had ever had. Bali is a beautiful place to visit as a tourist. But in my opinion you see so much more if you go there to volunteer. You really get to know the locals and their culture and of course nature. I really appreciated the opportunity to volunteer at Begawan Foundation. I'm a nature lover, so of course I wanted to do something that helps nature and animals. My work was to clean and feed the Bali Starling, which is the national Bird of Bali. I was also part of a local school program which was built on Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots. We visited 4th grade students in Sibang once a week and taught them about animals and how to treat them. This task is very important to save nature and our ecosystem. I am so thankful for this experience, and I would definitely recommend this volunteering program. I'm looking forward to doing something similar in the near future."
LARA SCHWEINEBART
"Being in Bali is like being in paradise. Everywhere around me is beautiful and the people are very friendly and helpful. Moreover it is the culture and religion that makes Bali an exceptional place. It's not only volunteering but the whole Bali experience! We had an amazing time here!"
CONSTANZE SIEBERT
"Spent a few weeks, not only helping the staff to breed the birds at Begawan Foundation, but it was much more because Bali is an exciting island with lots to discover. I am very glad to be in Bali, both as a tourist and a volunteer "
JULIANNE GLASNECK
"I really have fun living on this beautiful island and it's a great experience for me getting to know the work, the people, the culture and the scenery. I hope that many people from all over the world come to Bali to do the same thing like I do now, and I hope they will like and enjoy it as much as I do"
WYN CLAYTON
"As a teenager, responsibility is hard to understand but the Foundation taught me more about it through direct tasks set to challenge and teach me. Finishing such tasks, for example maintaining the cleanliness of the site in general always brings about a sense of achievement which is so important for any intern in any job. Learning is an important part of life and there was always something new to learn at the Foundation from an elementary knowledge of Bahasa to the ingredients in the Hornbills' diet."
LAURYNAS VECKYS
"I always had the passion for wildlife and was grateful that I could work with the endangered Starlings. Throughout my time in Bali, I gained the best exposure and understanding about conservation work and the Balinese daily life."
PEARL PAN & MEOW LAI
We learned a lot about how a conservation NGO works, and enjoyed a lot being part of the team. We cherished the meetings we had with the Founder. We also valued the experience we had in participating in the clean-up with a local school.


House on the corner, deep green lawn completely shaded with what looks like an old elm, circled by some colorful annuals, pale verdigris folded tin roof. Maybe a few shrubs in the corner. In my mind I'm hearing Sly croon "Hot Fun in the Summertime", kids squealing and laughing, Mayberry USA. Hard to say why my Fujinons keep lingering each time I sweep the waterfront from Escape Velocity, but they do. Ok the kids are speaking French, they're naked in that French way, and there is a palm tree plantation on an improbably steep mountainside that soars above the village to shred the clouds. The halfmoon shaped cliffs seem to cradle the little town in brilliant sunshine while tiny white dots we know are goats make their way over the peaks high above us. What is it with goats? It seems just minutes ago they were busy trimming the grass on the soccer field at sea level. Yes, I said soccer field. How they found enough flat space for that is beyond me but then again, I know that in the Southside of Pittsburgh they shoehorned a football field into a ninety yard long space by only allowing offensive plays toward the only end zone available.
So, as I was saying, Vaitahu, Tahuata, has a church with a nice steeple, a post office and nice tidy houses but where this feeling of nostalgia comes from I'm sure I don't know. Now if only the williwaws would stop funneling down off the mountains scaring me half to death with their 25 kt gusts I could find myself quite comfortable here. Oh, and how about a little wifi, s'il vous plait?

b. A similar bone in most vertebrates.
one of the 12 pairs of arches of bone forming a large part of the thoracic skeleton. The first seven ribs on each side are called true ribs because they articulate directly with the sternum and vertebrae. The remaining five ribs are called false ribs. The first three attach ventrally to ribs above; the last two are free at their ventral extremities and are called floating ribs. True ribs are also known as vertebrosternal ribs; false ribs as vertebrocostal ribs; and floating ribs as vertebral ribs. See also thorax.
An irregular condition resulting from the fusion of two ribs, usually involving the first rib.
A supernumerary rib sometimes developing in connection with a cervical vertebra, usually the lowest.

Q. What causes cramps in, under and around the rib cage?
A. Im not really sure, but you may have IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS affects up to 55 million Americans, mostly women. IBS causes are unknown. IBS symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal cramps. There are IBS treatments such as diet and lifestyle changes and medications that can help. Do you have any of these symptoms? Almost everything that i found with rib cage pain said something about IBS. Not really sure if this is your problem, but I hope this helps.


I'm afraid she will fail. I'm afraid I'm failing her. I'm afraid for her future. I'm afraid of my present ability to deal with her situation.
I have been dealing with what feels like a pretty overwhelming parenting situation lately. I have felt unqualified more than ever. I feel afraid.
It's not often that I stop long enough to have a logical thought pass through my mind when I'm in a state of mothering panic! This particular state has lasted for quite some time when it comes to challenges we face with one of our kids. I have felt so overwhelmed.
In the midst of my mothering panic, I heard a friend speak about fear. It hit me between the eyes like a 2x4 upside the head. I was dealing with fear like I've never experienced. I'm afraid that my child won't find victory over this particular area of hardship for her and I'm scared she will leave here not prepared for the things she will face in the real world.
I'm afraid she will fail. I'm afraid I'm failing her. I'm afraid for her future. I'm afraid of my present ability to deal with her situation. Afraid I may not be enough.
Along with this wave of knowing that I was afraid was the ever subtle Word that came tumbling into my conscious. "For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, of love, and of self-control." 2 Tim 1:7 How swiftly God's Word brings me the much needed calm for my fearful heart.
In the midst of my calm I was finally able to sort out months of fearful thinking and came to several conclusions.
2. When I'm not processing my own emotions (fear) I am better able to deal with hers! I remove my blinders and see her clearly. I see her struggles like I've never been able to see them. When I am powerful, loving, and self-controlled in my own emotions, I am free. That's what God's Word does though, isn't it?! It brings such freedom.
3. It's not about my own emotional response to her situations. It's about me giving control of her to God. He cares even more than I do. Having said that, I realize that mothering is a super hands on task :) and can't be prayed away. But, I do have the ability to ask the God of peace to bring to me a spirit of "power, of love, and of self-control."
Stupid devil. He thought he had me. Fearful no more. I will choose to have a spirit of "power, love, and self-control." I also choose to bathe my daughters in prayer. Knowing that The Lord wants to use me to minister to them...but through His Spirit.
How about you? In what areas has fear crept into your mothering?


Bright green vineyards are set against a harsh desert backdrop. Neuras Wine and Wildlife Estate mainly consist of a stony desert or savannah grassland but nevertheless, it is an oasis in every sense of the word. Because the estate sits on a geological fault that creates a near-perfect terroir for cultivating grapes. Five springs provide pure water, while the mountains shield the earth from the unforgiving desert wind and the alkaline soil is just right for vines.
A full wine tour takes you through the vineyard, the cellar and to the fountains. But this is not the only excitement on offer. A thrilling highlight is the cheetah feeding session. Upon entering the camp in a game viewer, guests stand on a viewing platform and the cheetahs race up to them on top of the hill. Surrounded by cheetahs, guests come into eye-level contact with these magnificent beauties which have been rescued as cubs and can unfortunately no longer be released into the wild. This experience presents amazing photo opportunities.
The cheetahs certainly do not feature on the "cuddle corner" list, but back at the lodge guests can pet adorable goats. Neuras presents itself in a down-to-earth setup with the old homestead still intact. Geese and peacocks roam on the lawn. There is no electricity supply from Nampower – only a generator, solar panels and a battery system. The cement dam has been converted into a swimming pool with an old windmill next to it, the most typical characteristic of the Namibian countryside.
First cultivated in 1894, Neuras Estate served as a vegetable and cereal farm supplying the German Schutztruppe with fresh produce. Today this piece of land is known rather for its wine, and more prominently for Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren's on-going conservation projects concerning Namibia's landscapes, cultures and wildlife. N/a'an ku sê bought Neuras in 2012 with the intention for these 14,400 hectares to become a model of conservation budding from their N/a'an ku sê Foundation founded in 2006.
The welcome mat is out for day visitors and overnight guests who are in search of the rustic farm experience. Guests can enjoy home-cooked Namibian meals, a taste of the simple joys of local cuisine combined with elegance and refinement. The braai facilities sheltered in the shade of trees also add to an authentic Namibian farm experience. Ancient canyons with fascinating geological formations provide marvellous opportunities for nature hikes.
Do you have a burning desire to make a change? The entire N/a'an ku sê Collection offers guests the chance to become actively involved in the country's conservation projects. Become a volunteer and help to restore the environment, while meeting like-minded people and learning all about Namibia.

Celadon City, Kanto
"Well, that's a pretty easy answer! I'm amazing!" She beams a bright smile across the table to the interviewer, letting a loooooong pause hang in the air. The longer it hung in the air, the more it seemed that she was entirely content with that answer. It's only after another dozen seconds on top of the first dozen does her smile begin to falter, her eyes blinking in some semblance of disbelief as she shuffles in her seat uncomfortably, finally clearing her throat. "—That was a joke, sorry," she finally, and quickly, adds on, letting her head drop slightly.
Yet for some reason, an air of disappointment clung around her. She probably wasn't joking. "I guess I'd say that I'm the kind of person who likes to look on the bright side of things, like a real go-getter. I'm always trying to be the best version of myself, no matter how hard or... annoying things get."
There was some major venom in those words, despite the... pleasant? Sure, pleasant smile.
This question brings about a huge glimmer in her eyes, making her stand and plant her hands firmly into the table she's seated at. Loudly. "Have you seen how amazing the world can be? I grew up in Celadon, wandering off and taking in the surroundings a lot as kid, so it's only natural that I'd be doing the same right?" Just as she seats herself again, and the interviewer starts to make an effort to ask the next question, she jumps to her feet again. "And some people don't even get that, did you know that?! So, I'll write so much about how amazing everything is that they'll have to see what I see!"
"To get a fresh start and begin from scratch," she quickly says, idly twirling a strand of hair from her pigtail in her fingers. A flash of annoyance seems to perk up on her countenance, as if remembering a really bad meal in the past. "I feel like it's easier to get a feel for what I want to do if I'm not weighed down by the people I saw every day growing up, and it's probably good for them too, you know? And as far as I'm aware, this is probably the best region to do that."
Any sign of annoyance from her previous answers evaporate in an instant, a wry smile slowly spreading across her lips as she drums her fingertips against the desk idly. "Ohhh, I wouldn't know where to start. I think I'm pretty solid when it comes to doing the things that I'll say I do, whether that's keeping a promise to someone that I care about, or chasing after my dreams. If I wasn't good at that last part, I wouldn't be here either, so there's more proof!"
She laughs, as if she put down the most certain evidence she could in a trial. It doesn't last long, thankfully.
"I'd like to think I'm very resourceful too, you know. And that I'm very, uh… patient is a good way of putting it. Some people back in Kanto can be very polarizing in attitude, and you either do your best to put up with them or run away from them," she then emphasizes with a wild arm gesture that can only be taken as an explosion of some kind. Then another long pause, before, "Not that I ran away!"
"I'm too kind," she flatly states aloud, nodding to herself with what could only be described as an aura of smugness that seems to permeate through the entire room like a bad odor. When it starts to pass, it's only then that she realizes that maaaaybe she should be a little truthful in her answers, not that she didn't believe the only thing she said thus far.
Because, oh boy, she does. Especially when she thinks back to how many chances she's given some people in her life.
"And maybe, just maybe. A teensy, little maybe. I might have a short temper sometimes." The look on her face, especially as she constantly adjusts the distance between her fingertips to illustrate how much of a maybe she meant, describes how much of an understatement that could be.
Propping her elbows onto the desk sloppily, and resting her chin in her hands, she immediately sounds disinterested. "It was okay. I had plenty of friends and like to think I did okay growing up. I think I tried spending most of my free time wandering around Celadon until I was old enough to be alone during the day," which is when a smile begins to spread to her face, one of nostalgia. "That's when I started leaving the city in secret without anyone knowing, looking around and finding all sorts of cool Pokémon that no one in the city was walking around with."
Then her expression drops to one of annoyance. "And then one time… one time!" She straightens up, pounding a fist on the desk. "You get lost one time as a kid, run from the search parties, and then you're not allowed to wander around by yourself anymore! Talk about restricting…" She settles, leaning back and crossing her arms.
Might be a sore spot.
"Don't get me wrong, I love them and care about them a whole lot, but they're really clingy," she waves a hand dismissively, "and a little controlling at times. I mean, obviously not while I'm here in Arciel, but back home for sure. Some space ought to do all of us some good, especially since I'm an only child."
Surely none of that has to do with getting lost outside of the city when she was young.
Knocking her sunglasses from her head down to the bridge of her nose, she gives a wide grin. "Collecting these! Did you know that there's so many shapes, styles, and tints to sunglasses? And most of them look great on me and any Pokémon I'm with! You could swear we're twins, honestly." She gives a curt nod, her expression clearly giving away her wild imagination firing on all pistons.
"Camping out is pretty great too," she trails into, prodding the side of her head with a finger. "That's when all your best ideas come to you. All the quiet, and just writing down all the thoughts coming into your head mixed with all the amazing things you can only see off the beaten path. Nothing like it in the world."
She carefully leans forward, leaning on the desk.
"You need to heavily vet your partners and everyone else around you else you end up with someone giving you the worst possible 'gift' that makes you wish you were muscular enough to casually toss them into the sun," she states flatly and quickly, her expression giving no leeway to her thoughts on the matter. After a moment of pause, she leans back into her chair. "Trust me on that."
She outright refuses to elaborate and answer any further on that. Time to move on.
"As if I didn't already allude to this…" She seems annoyed by the question, considering it already answered, and boy, does she let that be known with a scoff and eye roll. "I want to write, write, and write about everything that the normal person doesn't see when they walk down a route, tossing Pokéballs around all willy-nilly. The way some rocks lined up might make the perfect silhouette of a Pikachu, or the amazing hidden caverns full of unknowns. I want to make everyone understand the beauty of the world that isn't just people like me."
She has been rising out of her chair as she spoke, raising her arms up to encompass just how passionate she is about it. "Both short-term and long-term, I'm going to make the world know my name for one reason, and one reason alone! My writing will make everyone understand why I decided to get lost as a child!" As if she had a choice in that, what with wandering off in the dark.
"They'll see! They'll all see!" She dramatically slams her hands onto the desk, though despite her efforts, she only affords herself a quiet 'thud' from it. "Trees can be just as cool as television, okay!!"
After a moment, she shakes her hands and mutters a quiet, "... ow."
"Ooh, that's a really good question," she elates, sitting down in her seat. Taking a moment to think, twirling a strand of hair again as she prods her brain for something, she begins to rap her knuckles on the desk in front of her. "I can't believe this is actually a really tough question too… I feel like a Grass-type wouldn't be right, and I can't think of any specific one— Wait! Don't get too excited, but I just figured it out."
With a wide, almost self-confident smile, she leans forward and points at the interviewer. "Flying. Wouldn't that just be the best? Being able to soar where ever you please, looking down at everything and everyone and not having to deal with crazy things like… like… tripping. I've tripped enough times for a lifetime, so I'd be totally down with being a Flying-type like Pidgey."
And then she could wear the strongest sunglasses: tinted goggles.
"Isn't that obvious?" She crosses her arms in her chair, nodding to herself as if she had unlocked one of life's most mysterious questions with such a simple answer. The kind of answer that would come to one's head while alone with oneself, such as in the shower. "They're partners, whether it's literally or figuratively."
She doesn't know what she meant by figuratively, but it sounded good.
"Er… like, they're no different than people. Making bonds with them, taking them along on any wild rides and adventures. That's kind of the typical stuff, isn't it? But I think they're invaluable parts of this world and accepting everything for what it is: amazing!" She waves her hands around enthusiastically. "Let's say there's an amazing waterfall hidden away in some remote, mountainous area. It's probably beautiful to look at, right?"
She nods on behalf of the interviewer, leaving no pause unlike when she would compliment herself. "But trying to tell other people about how different and amazing that is from… a waterfall falling from somewhere near a beach, which everyone's seen, is really hard. But what about the way the Pokémon that live near or know about that waterfall interact with it? The way they appreciate it like no one else does?" Snapping her fingers louder than she could ever pound her fists on the table, she lets out an excited laugh that puts her previous excitement to shame.
"That's something that someone can visualize!"
"No, but…" She trails over, leaning back into her chair for the nth time during this interview. "How'd I do? Did I pass? Yeah? No?"
She pauses, before realizing that she couldn't possibly have an answer so quickly after getting all the answers. In fact, that realization makes her face turn a bright shade of pink before she abruptly rises to her feet, clearing her throat and flicking her sunglasses over her eyes.
"You know what? I think I'll wait to hear back on a more official sentiment. To make it feel more… official. I said that, didn't I? Yeah. Thanks for the good time, you…" She made zero consideration to learn the interviewer's name, which only adds on to the embarrassment like a shovel full of snow piling on top of her every single she stands there. "You."
Someone could not possibly leave the room faster than Liv does.
5'4" / 165cm
Thin, slight curves
She has a fair complexion with long, blonde hair that reaches to the middle of her back, usually tied up with braids into two large pigtails. Her soft face usually has a thin layer of make-up to hide blemishes or bruises from her many outdoor escapades. Her legs sometimes sports small cuts or bruises as well, but she does well to cover them up with clothing. Her attire leans toward more earthy and dark colors like greys, browns, and greens. She has a pair of black sunglasses that she always wears, either on her face or resting upon her head, no matter the time of day or weather.
Several shades of green, from dark to light, flowing through itself at random intervals like a moving gradient. The aura itself is serene in flow as it washes about like a slow creek would. When tempers are flared, it erupts toward a solid brighter green and grows more rigid in appearance.
Liv left Celadon City to get a fresh start (and away from certain people) and embrace her love for wandering alongside nature, and naively wants to try to turn that into a whole profession without trying to bring it up to anyone or even trying to see if anyone wants a novice journalist who only wants to write about nature and the things she finds. That obviously won't stop her from trying.
She's a bit naive in general, and very prone to embarrsses herself, yet has a strong sense of self-confidence that stems from the people she surrounded herself with back home. It's less vain and more… unfounded.
Despite how she comes across with her attitude, her love for nature and Pokémon is very real, and Liv and her short-temper will defend it until the day she dies.

/**
 * SECTION:gststreamvolume
 * @title: GstStreamVolume
 * @short_description: Interface for elements that provide a stream volume
 *
 * This interface is implemented by elements that provide a stream volume. Examples for
 * such elements are #volume and #playbin.
 *
 * Applications can use this interface to get or set the current stream volume. For this
 * the "volume" #GObject property can be used or the helper functions gst_stream_volume_set_volume()
 * and gst_stream_volume_get_volume(). This volume is always a linear factor, i.e. 0.0 is muted
 * 1.0 is 100%. For showing the volume in a GUI it might make sense to convert it to
 * a different format by using gst_stream_volume_convert_volume(). Volume sliders should usually
 * use a cubic volume.
 *
 * Separate from the volume the stream can also be muted by the "mute" #GObject property or
 * gst_stream_volume_set_mute() and gst_stream_volume_get_mute().
 *
 * Elements that provide some kind of stream volume should implement the "volume" and
 * "mute" #GObject properties and handle setting and getting of them properly.
 * The volume property is defined to be a linear volume factor.

Q: No matplotlib figure in interactive mode I've ran into this weird problem with Matplotlib (1.5.1) / Python (3.5.2) on my new Macbook (El Capitan), where figures won't show in interactive mode. The matplotlibrc file is empty, except for the specification of backend : macosx.
If I create a figure inside ipython as:
import matplotlib.pylab as pl
pl.figure()
pl.plot([0,1],[0,1])
pl.show()

The figure shows; however with:
import matplotlib.pylab as pl
pl.ion() # or specifying `interactive : True` in my matplotlibrc file
pl.figure()
pl.plot([0,1],[0,1])

I get no figure (no plot window, nothing!), also not with pl.show(). With the TkAgg backend I get a slightly different behaviour: the first example again shows the figure, the second example shows the figure window, without any content (the pl.plot() part), stuck on the spinning beach ball of death.
Does anyone have any idea why/where this might be going wrong? On another system (Yosemite, Python 3.4.4, matplotlib 1.10.4) everything works as expected.

Smartphones and mobile apps have become inseparable from daily life. Indonesia has 171 million internet users: Study (Shutterstock/File)
Indonesia has 171 million internet users: Study. The number of internet users in Indonesia increased by 10 percent last year, according to a recent study by Polling Indonesia conducted in cooperation with the Indonesian Internet Providers Association (APJII).
The study shows that 171 million people, or 64.8 percent of the total population of 264 million Indonesians, were already connected to the internet in 2018. The figure represents an increase from 54.86 percent recorded in 2017.
APJII secretary general Henri Kasyfi said the survey ran from March to April of this year, involving 5,900 samples across the country.
"The number of internet users in the country has increased every year," Henri said as quoted Kompas.com.
He added that because the majority of the country's internet users were aged 15 to 19, the government needed to keep a closer watch on content distributed through the internet.
He went on to say that Java continues to have the largest number of internet users as the region had the highest internet penetration level of 55 percent. Furthermore, he added that Sumatra was the second-biggest contributor with an internet penetration level of 21 percent.
According to the study, West Java accounts for the largest number of internet users in Java with 16 percent, while North Sumatra is home to the most internet users in Sumatra with 6.3 percent.
Despite the overall increase of netizens across the country, Henri said around 38.4 percent of people living in rural areas did not have internet access.
"We expect our recent study to serve as an evaluation for internet service providers in rural regions," he said. Indonesia has 171 million internet users: Study (rfa/kes, The Jakarta Post)

Aw! Tony Goldwyn (Andrew Prior, Father to Tris & Caleb in Divergent) talks about being part of the Prior family, along with Shailene Woodley (Tris), Ansel Elgort (Caleb), & Ashley Judd (Mother, Natalie).
Those that followed along during filming may have seen the cute messages they tweeted, about loving their onscreen family.
From Hollywood Crush: You're going to have to wait for March 21, 2014, to see "Divergent" on the big screen, but if you caught the trailer at San Diego Comic-Con, you've already seen more than Tony Goldwyn—who was actually in the movie—has.
"Divergent" follows teenager Tris Prior in dystopian Chicago as she discovers that she's a dangerous/ mix of several of her society's personality-based factions and subsequently sparks a revolution.
When Hollywood Crush caught up with Tony earlier this week, he revealed that Tris' big leap into the Dauntless headquarters is one of the scenes he's most excited about seeing in finished form. That, of course, was one of the trailer's highlights (yeah, just gonna rub it in that we've seen it). But Tony, who plays Andrew Prior, the father of our heroine, is also looking forward to seeing a couple of scenes he was actually in.
Of course, as you'd expect, Tony has nothing but nice things to say about the film. "The book is so wonderful, but being a movie, Neil brought incredible dimension to the different worlds and the factions. It's really rich and complicated. We have such a great cast... It was a really great experience."
The "Scandal" actor read and really enjoyed "Divergent," but (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FIRST BOOK) he didn't go any further in the series considering his character meets an untimely end at the conclusion of the first book. While the magic of movies leaves the door slightly open for him to potentially return for the sequels (flashbacks! apparitions! the possibilities aren't endless, but there are some options!), author Veronica Roth put the kibosh on any resurrection.
"I doubt it," Tony said of a second appearance. "Veronica Roth said, flatteringly, one of her biggest regrets is that she didn't write Andrew into the other books, that she killed Andrew off, so I don't think there's much hope for a resurrection of the ghost of Andrew. But we'll see."
See! There's always hope for more.
