I made this cross in late May of 2008, on a whim. I wanted to determine what, if any, fertility the Spinosissima hybrid 'William III' might have. It is a remarkably sturdy, disease free rose with great charm in a garden setting, and exquisitely scented purplish-pink blooms. I figured it might have some merit in breeding for improved care-free shrubs. I chose 'Condoleezza' simply because it is my "indicator" rose for breeding. If 'Condoleezza' won't take a specific pollen, nothing will.
What I got was about 7 well developed hips full of seed, and nearly every one of 'em germinated. The result was about 70 seedlings, of which I selected about 30 to grow on. (I made selections based solely on vigor, health and attractive growth habits/foliage, as none of these would bloom will the next year) Well, these are now leafed out and the first three are showing buds. Much to my surprise, all three are Mosses! ('Condoleezza' is very hit-or-miss when it comes to transmitting the mossing trait) Shown here is the most well developed of the three, clearly illustrating well mossed buds. Suddenly these seedlings are far more interesting to me as far as taking them forward into another generation is concerned. I will post more images as these grow.
More info about 'Condoleezza' here.
"Pteragonis" is very similar to R. sericea pteracantha, with the same ornate red thorns, but a larger flower in a pale butter yellow hue. It makes a very interesting specimen shrub with virtues that go far beyond that of an ordinary Spring blooming species hybrid.
For more info on "Pteragonis" see the HelpMeFind listing here.
Today I potted up the seedlings from cross 100-09 ('Golden Angel' X 'Champlain'). I have over 100 individuals of this cross now, which is ideal. Ralph Moore told me that he believed that you weren't seeing the full scope of what was possible in a cross until you had at least 100 seedlings to look at.
Also noteworthy is that the seed parent, 'Golden Angel' is a known triploid, and yet I got nearly 98% germination from this cross. The popular mythology about triploids suggests that they are often infertile or have very limited fertility. Clearly that is not always true. I suspect if we did gene counts of many highly fertile parents, we'd discover many triploids.
Where to buy roses, by Carolyn Parker. Thanks Carolyn!
Following quickly on the heels of my last post about R. fedtschenkoana, here is another rose that has a species prominently featured in its pedigree. The species in this case is the native North American R. nutkana, a beautiful thicket forming shrub with excellent architecture and often very richly colored single blooms.
Here, Ralph Moore put pollen from 'Schoener's Nutkana' (R. nutkana X 'Paul Neyron') onto 'Orangeade' (if 'Orangeade' won't take your pollen, nothing will!) and this was the seedling Ralph saved from the cross. (There may have been others, but this is the one I know about) It is a large plant to 12 feet or more, with graceful arching architecture, presenting clusters of 3 to 7 blooms all along its canes at every lateral. In many ways, it comes close to the ideal plant architecture for a rose, in my mind, and it is this trait that I include this rose in my work. I made several crosses with this hybrid about 7 years ago and found it to be a less than willing seed parent. Now that it is fully established I find it sets seed much more readily, and so in 2009 I made a number of crosses and await the germination of the seeds.
Although "Moore's Nutkana" leaves something to be desired in terms of Blackspot resistance and freedom of bloom (it blooms only sparingly after the first flush), these problems can be fixed in subsequent generations. *crosses fingers* I'll post photos of anything worth looking at when the seedlings are up and (hopefully) blooming.
54-08-03 = 'Midnight Blue' X ('Orangeade' X R. fedtschenkoana). The latter is a Kim Rupert hybrid given to me years ago for breeding purposes. See: LINK.
Some of you probably know that R. fedtschenkoana was identified about a decade ago as one of the species that helped found the Damask class. Since then, some hybridizers like Kim Rupert have incorporated the species into their breeding program in order to explore its genes as a potential source of new characteristics. Kim gave me a piece of his 'Orangeade' X R. fedtschenkoana hybrids several years ago and I have only recently started using it in my work. It took several years to start to flower, and because it clearly isn't ideally suited to my climate, it blooms only sparingly during its first cycle. And so, I rarely have pollen available at the right time.
However, in 2007 I managed to pollinate a few late blooms of 'Midnight Blue' with its pollen and about 14 seedlings resulted. Several of these grew so fast that they had to be moved into 5 gallon cans by June! I can see that hybrid vigor is something Kim's hybrid can bring into the mix. As expected, none of these flowered in their first year, and although "Kim's Fedtschenkoana" does rebloom, I don't expect my seedlings to be remontant. Often the remontancy genes from one class don't "play nice" with remontancy genes from another and what you get are mostly once bloomers. We shall see. To be honest, I don't expect anything but pinks, but with 'Orangeade' and 'Midnight Blue' in the mix, anything is possible.
The more I work with breeding roses, the more I find myself exploring non-traditional territory, often involving species and near-species hybrids. I think that if anything truly original and new is to be done with roses, it will surely come from the experimental breeding work of the dedicated "amateurs". (My friends, you know who you are!) The temptation to make crosses that will yield quick results is always there, but I say RESIST that temptation, and dare to strike your own trail. You just might end up creating a building block that future hybridizers might find invaluable in leading their own work forward. What better legacy could you want?!


Fencing is a great solution for many of your outdoor needs. Sometimes a permanent fencing solution is impractical or expensive, and a temporary fence is more ideal for your situation. These polypropylene polymer mesh fences can be used for almost any situation in any setting, and we can help you set up the perfect fencing on your property.
Adjustable barrier gate for parking, roads, bike paths, golf courses and more.
This roll fence will provide a virtually invisible barrier to help control deer.
An easy to install fence that provides superior strength and performance against deer and other predators.
This roll fence will provide a temporary barrier to help protect your pets.
Ideal for creating temporary or permanent containment fencing areas at almost any site.
Ideal for creating temporary or permanent containment fence areas at almost any site.
One of the most popular uses of this style of fencing material is for deer exclusion. Deer barrier fencing will help to protect young trees and other plants from deer damage. The Tenax Deer Fence C Flex HD Pro is virtually invisible, making it a great fencing option to maintain the look of your property without breaking it up with a fence.
Roll fences can also be great solutions to create pet barriers to keep your pets in a safe zone and protected from other animals in your area. The Tenax Pet Fence can be used for dog runs and other temporary enclosure areas, and even for training purposes.
Construction areas around your home or property can often benefit from a fence, to keep people safe, to keep intruders out, and to alert people to a construction area. This type of fence is perfect for this use, since the very nature of construction is temporary.
These fences can be used for different animals, not just deer. They are especially useful when repellent products, electrified fences, and other methods have failed to reduce animal pest damage.
You can even use fencing to support plants in flowerbeds, container gardens and even planters.
Although a roll mesh fence is generally an easy set up, it does still take certain tools and steps to create a strong barrier. Here are a few tips to make sure you're prepared and ready to set up your fencing solution.
Before you begin to set up your fence, you'll need to make sure you have all the proper materials. To properly set up a roll fence, you'll need posts, nylon string, zip ties, scissors, a hammer, sod staples, tent-style stakes, and tie wire. To start you off right, try the Tenax Deer Fence Kit, which includes sod staples, ties, and poles, along with the fence.
Determining fence placement, planning out all posts and gates, and properly supporting and reinforcing your fence are all important points to plan out before setting up your fence, so it can be as sturdy as possible.
Generally, placing posts every ten feet and securing the fence to the post with zip ties every foot up the post, and using sod staples along the bottom of the fence every five feet is a good place to start when setting up your fence.
When using fence as a deer barrier, the height of the fence is very important. Deer can jump up to eight feet vertically, so the fence should be at least that high. A slanted fence should extend six feet at a 45-degree angle. Since these fences allow for maximum visibility, hanging streamers every few feet on the fence will help the deer see the fence (they have very poor eyesight) and will prevent the deer from running strait into the fence.

Q: [NgRx]Is there any risk in registering the ComponentStore at the root level? I saw the articles, they put the componentStore at the root level as a global store, which is convenient for development and can work normally.

However, in the NgRx documentation, @NgRx/Store is still used as an example if you want to manage global state.

In my opinion, it seems correct to regard componentStore as a global service, but it conflicts with the design concept of ComponentStore. I don't know if there are any objections. Do you have any opinion?

A: I recommend not bothering to go down the ngrx route for anything, ever.
With Angular's architecture and its DI and singleton services and whatnot, the only thing you get out of ngrx is a headache and lot more complication in your code.
Why sub to your service and make a single request for new data when you could make 17 other objects for effects, and reducers, and whatever else it needs before... subbing to the service and requesting new data?
Whatever global service you want:
export class GlobalCacheService {
    private observers: {[key: string]: Observer<any>} = {};
    private observables: {[key: string]: Observable<any>} = {};

    public getObs<T>(key: string): Observable<T> {
        return this.observables[key];
    }

    public addObs<T>(key: string): void {
        if (this.observables[key]) return;
        this.observables[key] = new Observable<T>((x: Observer<T>) => {this.observers[key] = x;}).pipe(share());
    }

    public request<T>(fn: () => Observable<T>, key: string, returnRawResponse?: boolean): void {
        const sub = fn()
            .subscribe({
                next: (response: T) => {
                    sub.unsubscribe();
                    this.emit(key, response);
                },
                error: (err) => {
                    sub.unsubscribe();
                    this.emit(key, returnRawResponse ? err.error : undefined);
                }
            });
    }

    private emit<T>(key: string, data?: T): void {
        this.observers[key]?.next(data);
    }
}

This is actually taken from a base class I have in use somewhere, but I figure it would do the job for illustrating.
Usage:
private readonly cacheKey: string = 'someKeyThatShouldBeSomewhereSharedRatherThanJustInHere';

constructor(private readonly cache: GlobalCacheService) {
    cache.addObs<string>(this.cacheKey); // ensure it's initialised - probably should be done elsewhere.
}

public ngOnInit(): void {
    this.cache.getObs<string>(this.cacheKey)
        .subscribe((x: string) => this.onData(x));
}

private onData(x: string): void {
    console.log('got data from global cache: ', x);
}

Now, as I said, it's not really a cache because it's actually an abstract base service template thingy, but it had the extensible observable setup in it which is the crux of the matter.
Though probably BehaviorSubjects would be better for a cache because they will emit the last value to any new subscribers, whereas those plain old Observables will only emit when told to emit, so not great for a cache.
As it's a base service it contains a request wrapper for, for example, http requests, usage would be thus:
export class MyService extends ServiceBase {
    public static dataKey: string = 'dataKey';

    constructor(private readonly http: HttpClient) {
        this.addObs<string>(MyService.dataKey);
    }

    public getSomeData(): void {
        this.request(() => this.http.get<string>('someUrl'), this.someKey);
    }

}

Ostensibly, anything could be in that anon method, though.
and component usage, per above already:
export class SomeComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor(private readonly service: MyService) {}

    public ngOnInit(): void {
        this.someSub = this.service.getObs<string>(MyService.dataKey)
            .subscribe((x: string) => onDataReceived(x));

        // Assuming this component is responsible for getting/refreshing the data and the other eleventeen components listening don't, I dunno
        this.service.getSomeData();
    }

    private onDataRecieved(x: string): void {
        console.log('got data: ', x);
    }
}

So yeah, that's a lot of rambling for someone that wants to just crawl into bed, and it looks worse than it is because we're looking at all the base stuff.
Once the one or two files are in place, you're looking at one or two lines every time you want your service or component to tap in to that cache: an init call (unless its done somewhere at app setup (likely recommended), and a subscription... plus the occasional request call whenever a component/service wants to get fresh data for everyone.
Just remember that ultimately, the store pattern type stuff just means a single place that everything will go, to listen for and/or cause updates.
Welcome to observables in a [singleton] service in Angular. A basic concept involving a lot less effort (especially when done at a very basic level).

EDF is bracing for a multi-billion euro rise in costs at its Hinkley Point C nuclear site after a fresh evaluation of the project revealed yet another likely delay. An internal review of the troubled project by senior executives at EDF's French headquarters is expected to confirm fears that the state-backed energy giant will not be able to deliver Hinkley on time or in line with its £18bn budget. The French newspaper Le Monde reported over the weekend that sources close to the review have said no one believes it can be delivered by 2025. Instead, the start-up date is likely to be 2027 and pile a further £870m on to the construction costs of the £18bn project. The review is being led by Jean-Michel Quilichini, the group's audit director, and is expected to be made public later this summer. The latest delay is likely to fuel concerns that Government has locked energy bill payers into "a high cost and risky deal" that could fail to deliver on its economic promises.

EDF's Hinkley C nuclear power plant will experience a budget overrun of between one billion and 3 billion euros as its construction could be delayed by two years, French newspaper Le Monde said on Saturday, citing sources close to the matter. Le Monde said that the first conclusions of an internal review of the project showed that construction initially slated for end-2025 was not likely to start before 2027.

The web is blazing with speculation that DoCoMo will introduce their first Android device, HT-03A or better know as the HTC Magic, along with an expected soon upcoming summer 2009 handset series announcement. While we would not be at all surprised, naturally nobody who really knows is prepared to confirm the scoop for us.. wink-wink. Meanwhile, there are even more tongues wagging about big D rolling an iPhone! Now that would be interesting, and even odds-on possible, but again we're sadly only in a position to speculate along with the masses – including the Nikkei – on that one as well.

Speeches by Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair were beamed across Iraq on the same channels where Iraqis have been getting state-run TV featuring video of Saddam Hussein and claims by Iraq's ex-information minister that the coalition was losing the war.
A C-130 Hercules aircraft backed up by ground transmitters beamed out the signal for the new Iraqi TV network that will deliver five hours of programs five days a week, offering an alternative to Arabic stations like al-Jazeera that take a negative view of the war.
Blair, who followed Bush on the broadcast, added that coalition soldiers are "friends and liberators, not your conqueror," and that Iraqis need not fear a repeat of 1991, when Saddam was allowed to crush a rebellion.

Alex Cross faces the most cunning, psychotic killer of his career in the blockbuster James Patterson novel that inspired a major motion picture.
Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, D. C. Police Department when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife in front of him. Alex's need for vengeance was placed on hold as he faced another huge challenge: raising his children without their mother.
Years later, Alex is making a bold move in his life. He has left the FBI and set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex finally feels like it's in order. He even has a chance at a new love.
Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. Now Cross must go on the hunt for the most cunning, psychotic killer he has ever faced. . . and it pushes him dangerously close to the breaking point.
James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to Guinness World Records. Since his first novel won the Edgar Award in 1977 James Patterson's books have sold more than 300 million copies. He is the author of the Alex Cross novels, the most popular detective series of the past twenty-five years, including Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. He writes full-time and lives in Florida with his family.

Fir an Esthetician to provide the best services to the customers, there are a lot of machines that he or she should buy. There are a lot of suppliers of these machines from who you can buy the ones that you want. The problem comes in when you have to select the best equipment and the best supplier. You should read the following information as it will show you some of the factors that you ought to consider when selecting the best supplier and high quality esthetics supplies. To start with, you ought to start by having a look at the requirement that you have that is the machines that you require to buy.
The benefit if this consideration is that it enables you to buy the right machines and also from the best supplier of the machines. You should also consider whether the supplier of the Esthetician machines oases them through testing. You should look for a supplier who shows the evidence the machines are passed through use before they are offered for sale. By doing that, you will buy machines that will offer you 100 percent satisfaction.
Another factor that should guide you through this proves is whether the supplier provides a guarantee policy for the supplies. You should select a supplier who is willing to offer you a guarantee that runs for a whole year or even longer. You will by this be assured of a fix or a new machine incase the supply does not work as you expected within that period. Buying from a supplier who offers you a long term warranty shows that you are buying high quality materials and even the supplier trust in the equipment. You should also ensure that you buy from a supplier of Esthetician machines that come along with instructions on how to use them.
This will help you to learn how to use them quickly. You as well should ensure that you can get support at any time you need it due the issues that may affect the machines. The support desk of the esthetics machines supplier should be highly friendly and offer the best help. You as well need to look for a supplier who uploads videos on YouTube on how to use the machines that they sell.
The location of the Esthetician machines supplier should as well be of concern. The supplier who is more close to your area of business should be more favored as they will make sure that you get the supplies on time. When you buy from the online supplier, and there is a need of shipping to your location, you should make sure that it is done within a short duration so that you can get the supplies on time.

Star Trek: Prodigy 1×17 Review: "Ghost in the Machine"
December 8, 2022 Jamie Sugah
Photo: Nickelodeon/Paramount+ ©2022 VIACOM INTERNATIONAL. All Rights Reserved.
Star Trek: Prodigy's first season continues to deliver with every episode. "Ghost in the Machine" offers another traditional holodeck episode while at the same time revealing that maybe the enemy has been aboard the Protostar all along.
After the unbelievable cliffhanger at the end of last week's episode, when "Ghost in the Machine" started, I was a little disappointed. I love a good holodeck-gone-haywire episode as much as the next girl, but I just couldn't understand why they chose to have such an episode directly after "Preludes". After all, that episode ended with real!Janeway being knocked out after the Diviner regained his memories.
But I was too hasty! Chad Quandt has given us an amazing episode that both called back to classic Trek and flipped the script again. After having seen the whole episode, I can see why they chose to stick this in where they did.
"Ghost in the Machine" takes place almost entirely on the holodeck. The crew of the Protostar has been running multiple simulations, trying to find a way out of the Neutral Zone without putting the Dauntless – and Starfleet as a whole – in danger. Unfortunately, all of their simulations end with them losing. In the end, they decide that maybe they shouldn't go to Starfleet after all.
Honestly, they keep changing their minds about whether or not to risk it. I guess they recognize that, no matter what they do, it isn't going to end well. Given everything that's happened, it's likely they won't be given the benefit of the doubt. Even though Janeway now knows that they're a bunch of lost and traumatized kids, there's simply no way for them to get close enough to relay the danger.
I love the scene where they all try to drown their sorrows in ice cream. It's at once extremely relatable and yet another reminder that these are children. Although even I still believe that a big bowl of ice cream can solve all my problems.
Also, I just have to mention that Dal's line, "Let the darkness take me," when he went to bed was perhaps the funniest line this season. I feel like I'll be saying that on a regular basis for the next month at least.
The crew quickly realizes that something is wrong. Gwyn sees what looks like a phantom walk past her door. Jankom and Rok come across one of her sparkly glitter blob pets. Then fog permeates the corridor, and they learn that they never left the holodeck. Everything since ending their last simulation has, in fact, just been another simulation. Even the ice cream. (I'm not going to lie, I got a kick out of their disappointment that the ice cream was fake.)
This was a very well-structured episode. "Ghost in the Machine" introduces the possibility of a sentient holodeck, coming up with a situation specifically designed to keep the kids occupied. They are first presented with a mystery to solve – something Zero apparently does a lot on their down time. I really liked this subtle nod to The Next Generation, which features an episode where Data and Geordi play a Sherlock Holmes simulation.
As they move through the mystery, it's obvious that there is something wrong with the holodeck – you know, aside from the fact that they got trapped there without realizing. The simulation starts with Zero's program, then moves to Jankom's, then Murf's, and finally Dal's. In each program, they get a little closer to uncovering the problem while they chase after a skeleton key that doesn't exist.
Murf's program, by the way, is genuinely the highlight of the episode. Who knew that Murf liked to fantasize about being a lounge singer from the 1940s? But it was really cool how they managed to give each program its own atmosphere. Moving from Jankom's dark, gritty street fighting program to Murf's film noir scenario to Dal's bright, colorful pirate simulation was nicely done.
In the end, Zero realizes that the mystery of the skeleton key is a ruse to keep them occupied. The only person with the ability to override the holodeck was, in fact, hologram!Janeway. The crew's decision not to go to Starfleet triggered a subroutine in Janeway's programming. She trapped the kids on the holodeck, manufactured a situation to get Dal's command password, and moved the Protostar out of the Neutral Zone while they were otherwise engaged. But Janeway remembers none of this.
Hologram!Janeway has been such a staple for these kids, and the betrayal – unknowing as it was – stings. It seems that the subroutine, likely caused by the Living Construct, makes getting the Protostar to Starfleet Janeway's primary purpose. This means that her encouraging the kids and extolling the virtues of Starfleet may have been a ruse so that they would do what "she" wanted. It's possible that she doesn't think they're Starfleet material, that she was just saying what they needed to hear in order to accomplish her goal.
But it's also possible that Janeway, a dedicated Starfleet Admiral (Captain, as a hologram), legitimately did think taking the ship to Starfleet was the best option. After all, it is a Starfleet ship that was lost. I'd wager that any Starfleet officer, upon discovering the ship, would immediately choose to return it. It's possible that she does think that they would do well in Starfleet, that she has been encouraging them because she wants to give them a purpose.
Sadly, there's no way to tell when the subroutine truly became activated; if it only started when the crew decided not to go to Starfleet, then everything that happened before that was genuine Janeway. However, there's also the possibility that the subroutine bled into Janeway's programming and may have unconsciously affected her actions.
The ending shot of "Ghost in the Machine" shows the dire straits that the kids are in. The much larger Dauntless, looming outside the viewport as the crew realizes that they've potentially lost their last – and only – ally. As it's been several days since real!Janeway was knocked unconscious, we have no way of knowing what's going on aboard the Dauntless – or who is in charge.

Ten Years of Apple on One Page
Benjamin Mayo:
Apple entered the 2010s just as the iPhone began to explode in popularity. The iPhone became the most successful consumer product, ever. Sales surged for another five years and still make up a majority of Apple's revenues.
In an on-stage interview a couple months after the iPad was released, Jobs told Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher his vision of the future of the computer industry, comparing PCs to 'specialist' trucks and iPads to mainstream cars.
The first-generation MacBook Air was sleek but slow and expensive. Apple's second stab at the ultrabook was a huge success.
iCloud is now a foundational feature across all of Apple's platforms but it didn't start to become a thing until 2011 with iOS 5.
Apple brought Retina to the iPhone in 2010 but it took another two years for the high-density screens to make their way to the iPad and the Mac.
The culmination of Jobs demise, Forstall's ousting and Ive's new found mandate over all of Apple human interface resulted in iOS 7. Apple redesigned the entire aesthetic of its mobile operating system in about eight months.
Swift debuted with big ambitions to be a universal programming language spanning app development to low-level systems programming, with expressive syntax and more safety guarantees than Objective-C could provide, whilst also pushing for bare metal performance and efficiency goals.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro was the straw that broke the camel's back, as far as Apple's alignment with the professional market. It would begin to rectify the relationship and appeal of its pro products in 2017 but a 'truly great' MacBook Pro would not be available for another three years.
As a financial event, this would just be an amusing statistic of history but of course this result had ramifications on Apple's product plans. Apple doubled down on Services initiatives as a way to show investors underlying long-term growth potential in its business.
Adobe Flash Apple Apple Maps Apple Park Apple Watch Beats Business Craig Federighi History HomePod iBooks iCloud iMessage iOS iPad iPad Pro iPhone Jonathan Ive Mac Mac Pro MacBook Air MacBook Pro Retina Scott Forstall Siri Steve Jobs Swift Programming Language Touch Bar
> "whilst also pushing for bare metal performance"
How is Swift doing in this area?
This is way too glowing of a summary for Swift. Let's try:
Swift debuted and stayed in beta for 5 years, constantly introducing churn and slowing app devs. Coincidentally, same can be said of most iOS/macOS releases during that time. Swift remains an over-complicated mess to this day. Objective C without the C was a lie.
"Eschewing physical hard drives, the MacBook Air's iconic taper design was achieved by going all in on solid state storage. The SSDs were soldered directly onto the logic board, which was bad for repairability but good for miniaturization. In the following years, all of Apple's laptops adopted the soldered SSD approach."
This is not correct, none of the Macbook Airs until the Retina redesign had SSD storage soldered to the logic board, they were all removable. That, along with the better keyboard, made them still a good alternative to the redesigned Retina Air. (Also, the 11" Airs are nice little machines and highly underrated.) Even the Macbook Pro didn't switch to soldered SSD storage until 2016.
"Much of the fanfare around the Retina MacBook Air in 2018 originated from the fact it had kept so many elements from the 2010 iteration."
I just don't understand how or why anyone would make that statement. If you ask me, the 2018 Air has more in common with the 2016 Macbook than the 2017 Air. From the keyboard, to the display, to the lack of useful ports, to the lack of an adequate cooling mechanism. The previous 7 years of Airs were all literally identical from the outside (aside from the microphone holes, anyway).

POSTPONED -- Lindsey Vonn -- "Rise"
by Boulder Book Store
Sat, Jan 22, 2022, 3:00 PM MST
Unity of Boulder Church
2855 Folsom Street
Refunds up to 1 day before event
POSTPONED -- Join Lindsey Vonn for a discussion and audience Q&A about her life, incredible career, and new memoir, "Rise."
Very unfortunately, due to an urgent personal matter, Lindsey Vonn can no longer travel to Colorado for her event this weekend. This event WILL be rescheduled.
Join Lindsey Vonn for a discussion and audience Q&A about her life, incredible career, and new memoir, Rise: My Story, on Saturday, January 22nd at 3:00pm at *Unity of Boulder (2855 Folsom St.)* Tickets include a pre-signed copy of Rise.
82 World Cup wins. 20 World Cup titles. 3 Olympic medals. 7 World Championship Medals.
A fixture in the American sports landscape for almost twenty years, Lindsey Vonn is a legend. With a career that spanned a transformation in how America recognizes and celebrates female athletes, Vonn—who retired in 2019 as the most decorated American skier of all time—was in the vanguard of that change, helping blaze a trail for other world-class female athletes and reimagining what it meant to pursue speed at all costs.
In Rise, Vonn shares her incredible journey for the first time, going behind the scenes of a badass life built around resilience and risk-taking. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits, a pursuit so focused on one-upping herself that she pushed her body past its breaking point as she achieved greatness.
At once empowering and raw, Rise is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the way—an emotional journey of winning that understands all too well that every victory comes with a price.
IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION
Tickets to attend are $28.99 (plus tax and a small processing fee) and include a pre-signed copy of Rise, to be distributed at the event.
If this event has not sold out, tickets at the door will be $35.
There will NOT be a signing or photo line after the event.
COVID-19 measures: Masks are required for all attendees.

Q: VueJs - avoid useless v-for iteration Hello,
I noticed that when data is render like this:

 {{post.content}}

data () {
    return {
      posts: [{...},{...}]
    }
  }

and when I update posts array like this :

methods: {
    addPost: function (post){
      this.posts.unshift(post);
    }
  }

VueJs parse all data in posts, so loaded data is reloaded again, any idea ?
Update

<template>

 {{post.content}}

            <time>{{post.created_at}}</time>
            {{log('hey')}}

</template>

If I add a post, log function is call 10 times on first load and 20 times for 10 posts on update.
If it's because of log function, there is another way to test v-for iteration ? In fact, I want to verify that v-for iterate only once if I add post in posts.

A: Whole list will be re-rendered because Vue have no clue how to detect which object was removed, because there is no meta-information for the post identity.
You need to specify "key" attribute, which explicitly defines id<->data binding.

 {{post.content}}

A: Vue does not understand what was the change in your list, so it renders the component again. You need to add an identifier in your loop.

The key attribute is used to maintain the state. For more details about the key attribute, read here

Can You Afford to Lose Your DL for 30 Days?
If you lose your DL it can make your life incredibly difficult. You cannot drive a car, so getting back and forth to work, shopping, and doing things with your friends and family will be tough. When you get traffic tickets because of traffic violations, one or two points are added when you are convicted of the violation. These points go against your driving record for a minimum of three years or attend traffic school. If you gather more than four points in a year, you lose your DL due to suspension.
Minor infractions, such as speeding, not signaling before you turn, running a red light, and others are one point, while more serious infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies are two points.
However, some violations of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) give the judge the ability to suspend your license for 30 days.
One of the CVC violations that carries a 30-day suspension is speeding over 100 mph. The traffic commissioner in Hanford, CA has said that he believes in a 30 day suspension for over 100 MPH tickets. Therefore, if you are convicted of speeding while exceeding 100 mph on I-5, without legal representation, chances are you will lose your license for 30 days.
If you get pulled over and are under the influence of drugs or alcohol you will face not only an arrest, but a possible suspension (normal suspensions are between 120 days to a year). You will be issued a thirty-day temporary provision that allows you to drive while your case is being examined but you only have 10-15 days to let the DMV know that you will contest your suspension.
And, do not try to evade the police officer or law enforcement (LE) officer, it gets much worse. How about imprisonment in a county jail for one year? Between $2000 and $10,000 in fines? If your evading is dangerous enough to rise to a felony, you could even be facing state prison for up to three years.
Well, it's Thursday so at least you can drive home, take a couple of days to find your brother-in-law, and let him know he will be driving you around for 30 days because he caused you to lose your DL, even though it was you driving over 100 mph. If only I had hired an lawyer.
In Kings County, just as in Kern, Riverside, SLO, Tulare, LA, or Inyo County and a few others in SoCal, call Bigger & Harman, 661-349-9300, for vigorous representation for traffic violations. Or email: attorney@markbigger.com to arrange a FREE initial consultation about you speeding ticket. Do not go it alone.
Sometimes officers are not free for court due to another assignment or another technicality could result in a dismissal of charges, if you have representation. Traffic defenders work in the system every day and have gotten to know what works for you and what works against you. Telling the judge, you were going 80 but so was everyone else is an admission of guilt, so don't try that one. Bigger & Harman have disputed and won nearly 2000 traffic tickets in California courts!


Sept. 9, 2011 – With the coming of the moose rut, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) is expecting the number of vehicular collisions with these large animals to increase. During the latter stages of September and throughout October moose are on the move, seeking mates. Often, bulls will travel great distances in their single-minded search for cows.
"Moose are not very road-wise," says Darrell Crabbe, Executive Director for the SWF. "In fact, they often have little or no regard for their own safety when it comes to crossing highways. Some bulls have even been known to become aggressive enough to attack vehicles that approach too closely.
"We want to make people very aware of the danger of hitting a moose with their vehicle. They are large, heavy animals and hitting one could cause extensive damage to your vehicle and possibly cause severe injury or death," Crabbe said.
The SWF, with financial assistance from SGI, launched a new public safety campaign in June focusing on vehicular collision avoidance with moose. Titled "Moose On The Loose," the campaign includes highway billboards, radio and television PSAs, posters in SGI branch offices, roadside signs distributed to wildlife federation branches for local dispersal to problem areas, and informational restaurant placemats distributed to all wildlife federation branches to be used at fundraising dinners and special events across the province.
The campaign is designed to remind motorists that during the autumn months, both deer and moose are much more mobile and therefore they need to be more vigilant when driving, especially at dusk, at night and at dawn. SGI collision statistics show that the greatest proportion of vehicular collisions with wildlife take place during the fall months.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) is the province�s self-sustaining auto insurance fund. SGI operates 21 claims centres and five salvage centres across Saskatchewan with a head office in Regina. SGI also works with a network of over 400 motor licence issuers across the province. http://www.sgi.sk.ca/.

«Про дудочку и птичку» — рисованный мультфильм киностудии «Союзмультфильм» 1977 года.

Две весёлые истории о маленьких и для маленьких: «Уточка и дудочка» (по стихотворению Екатерины Каргановой) и «Про птичку» (по стихотворению Овсея Дриза).

Сюжет
Мультфильм состоит из двух историй, не связанных между собой и созданных по стихотворениям детских писателей.

Уточка и дудочка
В первой своей части мультфильма мы знакомимся с маленькой капризной уточкой, которой мама, по её же просьбе, подарила дудочку. Подарок настолько понравился малышке, что она с ним попросту не расставалась. А так как музыкантша из капризной уточки была не очень важной, то все окружающие звери в полной мере прочувствовали на себе последствия такого подарка. В конце концов, соседи отняли у уточки дудочку и пожаловались маме-утке, но та вместо того, чтобы укорить свою дочку, вместо дудочки подарила ей уже барабан.

Про птичку
Во второй части мультфильма рассказывается об одном кошачьем семействе, которой пришла идея пойти в фотосалон, чтобы сделать семейную фотографию. Однако тут возникла большая проблема: как только козёл-фотограф объявлял «сейчас вылетит птичка», никто уже и не думал о фотографировании. Кошачье семейство приняло это буквально и, в результате, всё, что было в салоне, пришло в беспорядок. Как потом извинялся за происшествие папа-кот, глава семейства: «Подвела привычка!».

Создатели

Видеоиздания
Мультфильм неоднократно переиздавался на DVD в сборниках мультфильмов: «Птички», Союзмультфильм, дистрибьютор «Союз».

We are headed to the mountains today to the remote Monastery of Montserrat. We will brave the Barcelona subway for the first time, to get to the train, which will drop us off at the cable car, which will take us up the mountain to the Monastery itself, before taking the funicular to the top of the mountain to St. Joan's and the holy caves.
Do you see the yellow cable car? That's us!
It's a bit of a journey, so we are equipped with snacks and water, good walking shoes, and our best sense of adventure.
Once there, we find the beautiful (Square) Placa de Santa Maria, pausing to soak up the serenity this mountain retreat so generously offers. The breeze is cool, the sun is warm, and the church is welcoming.
The Virgin of Montserrat is a small wooden statue of La Moreneta, which translates "the dark one", and it is said to be the soul of Montserrat. Believed to have been made by St. Luke and brought here by St. Peter in AD 50, having been kept hidden from the Moors in the nearby caves, we saw it be much revered by those of the Catholic faith, who stood in long queues to have the opportunity to have a face-to-face encounter, be it ever so brief, on their pilgrimage here.
After a rewarding visit to the Basilica, where the so nicknamed "Black Virgin Mary" is housed, we are anxious for a hike up the hill to see St Joan's.
The path is rugged, but we are rewarded with stunning views of the valley below.
Indeed, the whole of Barcelona is seen in the remote valley distance.
Just above Saint Joan's, there are some really cool caves. We explored these, too, since we were so close.
There are all kinds of trails & hike up here if you're into that kind of thing. You need to come prepared, though. You can see my shoes are really not the best for this whole deal.
Now it's time to head back to Barcelona. This time we catch the Funicular down the mountain to catch the train down the hill to catch the train back to Barcelona to take the subway back to the hotel.
Oh wait! We might as well go straight to one of our favorite restaurants for a Spanish-style dinner of fish (for me) and steak (for Mr. C), complete with a well-deserved pitcher of refreshing Sangria. (You might notice, when they serve me a whole fish, I have to cover up the eyes ~ a handy tomato does the trick this time. Can't really eat something that's watching me). And one last serving of fresh calamari (I've never had better than here in Barcelona ~ and I've consumed it all over the world, by now!).
I am sad to leave Barcelona behind. But cheers to another great day in Spain!
Oh, oh, oh! I love this! I am so ready to travel to Barcelona after reading your blog and seeing all your pictures! Cute sandals and if you have to wear shoes... Well then at least you have really cute ones even if not ones to hike in! They look good! It is hard to eat something that is looking back, so, cute that you solved that issue! Great picture of Mr C and so nice of him to take pics of you along the way on all these trips! Can't wait to read your next adventure! Keep 'me coming! They are fab!
Thanks for your comments, K, we really did love Barcelona. A wide variety of sights and activities. Those shoes are great walking shoes, but I did not know we would be hiking ~ there is a difference! Can't wait for J to take you, I know he loves Barcelona ~ you will love it too! We found our September weather to be very accommodating, by the way.
I must say, your pictures are very crisp and clear! Indoors too! The inside of the cathedral shot is really quite spectacular! Nice camera and great skills on your part!
It's all the camera, my dear! I love my new little Sony! It gives me lots of options if I want to get fancy, but it's also really excellent on plain ole' point & shoot. I particularly like the low-light settings for situations like the interior of these churches, as pictures are allowed but flash photography is not.
Another breathtaking place I have been fortunate enough to visit! It is amazing how much you take for granted when you are younger. Thanks dad for all the great experiences! Glad you are enjoying yourselves!


About you and the problems you may be experiencing.
My training and experience is in working with people from 16 upwards.
I am experienced and trained in the individual evidence based protocols for each of these problems and this informs my practice. However, my experience of real people tells me that few people actually fit into these neat boxes and a broader or 'transdiagnostic' approach can be beneficial.
Shyness or social difficulties relating to autistic spectrum disorder traits.
I also enjoy working with people who just need someone to help them step back, take stock and reconnect with their values.
Whatever your problem, your treatment plan will be tailor-made to suit your individual needs. We will also have regular reviews to ensure skills and strategies being learned and practised continue to fit with your planned hopes for change.

Mike Pence Is Stopping Through The Bay Area and Monterey Next Week
Our extra-special right-wing vice-president Mike Pence is making a couple of Republican fundraising stops in California next week, and dropping by the San Francisco Bay Area for a quick, not-easily-protested speaking engagement.
The undisputed homophobia czar in the current administration, Pence will making stops in Santa Ana and Monterey, as the Chronicle is reporting, with the not-publicized Monterey fundraiser happening on Wednesday, November 13. He's then set to stop by NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View on Thursday, November 14, before taking off from there — likely from Moffett Field, which is right there, and which is where President Trump flew into and out of on his Peninsula fundraiser visit in September.
Pence has made more trips to the West Coast than Trump since the 2016 election, coming for a fundraiser back in October 2017 in Los Angeles, and returning in March 2019 for a visit that included a stay in Monterey and a trip to an Oracle event in Redwood City that was closed to the press. Pence was back in the state in July at events in San Diego and a fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe.
Tickets to next week's fundraiser in Monterey start at $1,000 and top out at $35,000, according to the invitation obtained by the Chronicle. Proceeds will benefit the PAC called Trump Victory.
Meanwhile, let's never forget the time Trump tried to go in for a kiss with Pence on stage at the Republican National Convention, and Pence deflected about as hard as Melania on an average Saturday.
