Proyecto Pegaso es una base científica ficticia de Marvel Comics que ha sido la ubicación de una variedad de historias de superhéroes y supervillanos, más notablemente en el título Marvel Two-in-One.

Historia
Creada en Marvel Two-in-One #42 (agosto de 1978) por el escritor Ralph Macchio, Proyecto: Pegaso inicialmente estaba destinada a investigar formas de energía alternativas (e inusuales), pero también se ha utilizado como una prisión para individuos superpoderosos. La ubicación de esta instalación es descrita estando en las Montañas Adirondack en el Estado de Nueva York.

La instalación es más recordada en los cómics por "La Saga Proyecto Pegaso" impresa en Marvel Two-in-One #53-#58 (más tarde recogido como un tomo del mismo título, coescrito por Macchio y Mark Gruenwald con dibujos de John Byrne y George Pérez). Sin embargo, su uso recurrente como una prisión para supervillanos del Universo Marvel ha dado lugar a una serie de historias de cómics en las décadas siguientes, significativas entre ellas una aparición de la Corona Serpiente. Varios personajes de Marvel han servido términos trabajando de seguridad en las instalaciones, incluyendo La Cosa, Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) y más recientemente Halcón Oscuro. Hubo un tiempo en que también sirvió como un hogar temporal para el Escuadrón Supremo cuando fueron exiliados de su propio universo.

Proyecto Pegaso también parece poseer un vasto conocimiento de otras realidades en el Multiverso Marvel, desde futuros alternos a universos paralelos, como se muestra en los archivos de la continuidad Tierra 616 después de la historia Vigía de los Nuevos Vengadores, nombrándolos por los nombres oficiales que Marvel usa. Un científico bribón del Proyecto Pegaso probó varias fuentes de energía en sí mismo. Como resultado, el científico se convirtió en un ser de rápida expansión que destruyó numerosos universos hasta que fue detenido por el Escuadrón Supremo original [Escuadrón Supremo: La muerte de un universo].

Durante la historia Reino Oscuro, Norman Osborn cierra Proyecto Pegaso. Sin embargo, se volvió a activar a raíz de la Guerra de los Reyes, debido a la apertura del desgarro tiempo-espacio llamado la Falla. Loki más tarde liberó al Hombre Absorbente del Proyecto Pegaso.

Otras versiones

Ultimate Marvel
Una versión Ultimate de Proyecto Pegaso aparece en la miniserie Ultimate Power. Esta versión se encuentra en Devil's Point, Wyoming. Es propiedad de S.H.I.E.L.D..

El jefe de seguridad es el Agente de S.H.I.E.L.D. Wendell Vaughn (contraparte Ultimate Marvel de Quasar). Después de que el proyecto es atacado por el Escuadrón Serpiente (que cree que la Corona Serpiente se encuentra allí), Vaughan se niega a confirmar o negar este reclamo, señalando que "todos el asunto del Proyecto Pegaso está clasificado con la Doctrina Grunewald". El uso del nombre Gruenwald es presumiblemente un homenaje a Mark Gruenwald, que escribió muchas historias del Proyecto: Pegaso y los orígenes de Quasar.

Ben Urich (reportero del Daily Bugle) también se lo menciona a Jonah Jameson como el tema de un artículo que está escribiendo en la edición #106 de Ultimate Spider-Man.

En Ultimate Origins, Proyecto Pegaso resulta ser un almacén emitido por el gobierno para objetos con orígenes misteriosos y, por lo general, de valor destructivo masivo. Es aquí donde la versión Ultimate Marvel del Vigilante fue contenida aquí durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se relaciona con un evento próximo a los Cuatro Fantásticos, Carol Danvers, y Wendell Vaughn. Otros objetos vistos incluyen el Guantelete del Infinito y el Cubo Cósmico.

Power Pack Día Uno
En este universo, el Dr. James Power trabajó para el Proyecto Pegaso siendo contratado para construir un arma de increíble poder.
Debido a la raza alienígena Snarks que secuestra a Power y a su esposa, sus hijos reciben súper poderes para destruir la máquina y salvar la tierra del arma que los Snarks llamaron la Máquina de Aniquilación. Los hijos de Power derrotan a los Snarks, destruyen la máquina antes de que se active y salvan a sus padres.
Se reveló que Carmody, que está a cargo del Proyecto Pegaso en esta realidad, y el villano principal de Power Pack en la comunidad general estaba en contacto con los Snarks, que lo engañaron para contratar a Power para construir la Máquina de Aniquilación. Carmody fue noqueado por Jack Power (Amo de la Masa).

En otros medios

Televisión
 Proyecto: Pegaso es visto en Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes episodio "La Cura." El Hombre Topo aparece tratando de atacar la base.
 Proyecto: Pegaso aparece en Iron Man: Armored Adventures episodio "Iron Man contra El Dínamo Carmesí." Bajo la dirección del Dr. Anton Harkov (con la voz de Richard Newman), desarrollan la armadura Dínamo Carmesí para viajes espaciales, y la base es casi destruida por el vengativo villano, pero Iron Man razona con él. En "Todo Rojo," Obadiah Stane (junto a su jefe de seguridad O'Brian) se acercó al Dr. Anton Harkov para ofrecerle actualizar la armadura Dínamo Carmesí a cambio de que Obadiah ayudara con el financiamiento de Anton. Después de que O'Brian en la armadura Dínamo Carmesí captura a Iron Man, Obadiah hace que Anton ejecute un análisis de toda la armadura de Iron Man, mientras él no está. Cuando Pepper provoca un desvío al apagar el poder lo suficiente para activar el poder de emergencia, Anton se queda con la armadura mientras Dínamo Carmesí se dirige a investigar. Iron Man noqueó a Anton y escapó con Pepper. Al oír esto de Anton, Obadiah exigió que cualquier dato que tienen sobre las armaduras de Iron Man y Dínamo Carmesí sean enviados a él inmediatamente. Para evitar que el Proyecto Pegaso entregue los datos de Iron Man a Obadiah Stane, Tony crea el virus Tecnívoro (una versión actualizada del virus que Iron Man usado para quemar el sistema de Mr. Fix) para usar en los del ordenadores Proyecto Pegaso (que se ejecutan en la IA DELPHI). Después de que Iron Man carga el Virus Tecnívoro y derrota a Dínamo Carmesí, Obadiah hace que su secretaria le diga a Anson que su oferta está rescindida. En "Technovore," Proyecto Pegaso termina atacado por nanocitos infectados por el virus Tecnívoro permitiéndole tomar una forma sólida. Rhodey inspecciona un disturbio encontrando a un aterrorizado Harkov en la instalación. Tecnívoro escanea el guantelete de la armadura de Iron Man y se obsesiona con "consumirla" mientras Harkov huye. Tony es atraído de nuevo gracias al Virus que consume el guantelete y teléfono auricular de Rhodey. Después de numerosos intentos que incluyen un PEM, Rhodey convence a Tony para que detone la armadura a prueba de fallos como un intento desesperado al Virus Tecnívoro. Los dos escapan mientras el Proyecto Pegaso es incinerada junto con el virus. Desafortunadamente, un pedazo de Tecnívoro está oculto en la capa de Harkov. En "El Halcón y la Araña," Pepper menciona a Tony que la Viuda Negra solía trabajar para el Proyecto Pegaso.
 Se hace referencia al Proyecto Pegaso en el episodio piloto de Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Skye mencionó que S.H.I.E.L.D. había cubierto el Proyecto Pegaso en el momento en que Phil Coulson la estaba interrogando.

Película
 Proyecto Pegaso es aludido en Iron Man 2. Tony Stark aparece abriendo una caja de madera (1:24:04) marcada "Proyecto Pegaso" en preparación para sintetizar un nuevo elemento. Además, en el preludio cómico tie-in a los Vengadores, el Consejo de Seguridad Mundial menciona que los fondos son redirigidos desde SHIELD a una nueva operación, con nombre en código Proyecto PEGASO, con el fin de analizar el Teseracto.
 La instalación subterránea Proyecto Pegaso aparece en la escena post créditos en Thor, cuando Nick Fury se acercó a Erik Selvig con la ayuda de investigar el cubo, inconsciente de Loki influyendo en él.
 Los eventos de los post-créditos de Thor conducen a las escenas iniciales de Los Vengadores, donde el Teseracto se está estudiando. Ésta procede a derrumbarse cuando un portal abierto por el cubo implosiona.
 En la película de 2019, Capitana Marvel, Annette Bening interpreta a la Dra. Wendy Lawson, una científica que trabaja para el Proyecto PEGASO. Secretamente, Mar-Vell se hace pasar por humana, trabaja en la instalación en 1989 y experimenta en el Tessaracto. Lawson pudo llevar el Tesseracto a su laboratorio espacial porque estaba a cargo del Proyecto Pegaso. Carol Danvers y Nick Fury se infiltraron en la misma base del Proyecto Pegaso en 1995.

Welcome to Ankota™, where we're enabling the next generation in home care management solutions and patient engagement systems that prevent avoidable hospitalizations. What is it that makes a home care solution next generation? Of course, it must utilize state-of-the-art technology, do things that existing systems can't do, and minimize staffing requirements while maximizing productivity. But to be truly next generation, a solution must go much further... to be next generation, a solution must include state-of-the-art thinking.
Health care today is an extremely complex system of payers, programs, diseases, and treatments that require precise management and oversight. Data, from a multitude of directions must be moved in and out of systems to ensure knowledgeable decision making that achieves the desired results. And day to day service delivery is further complicated by payer authorizations and plans of care, both of which can determine if and when services can be billed. Ankota meets the needs of homecare, private duty and home health care agencies and other providers in a multitude of delivery settings and focuses on several underserved segments specifically in the arena of non-medical home care, Area Agencies on Aging Solutions (AAA), Case Management Service Delivery, Pediatric, Therapy and Respite Services, Managed Care Medicaid Programs & Payer Systems, Remote Population Monitoring and Engagement and Adult Day Care. Our highly customizable software offers full home care agency and Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) management including telephony, GPS, fixed number generator fobs, biometric authentication and verification schema. It manages people, payers and programs via configurable business rule sets and supports optimized delivery of care in homes, readmission reduction, individualized plans of care and cost controls. Sophisticated scheduling algorithms support managing non-skilled and professional workers in post-acute markets. Foresight Care™, is an innovative remote patient monitoring service and patient engagement platform, that helps avoid hospital readmissions at a very low cost.

The limestone and brick architecture dating all the way back to 1926 is probably the first thing one notices about Barbizon 63, the luxury condominium building on 140 East 63rd Street. Barbizon 63 is one of the finest examples of a pre-war conversion in Manhattan-classic aesthetics gel well with modern conveniences in this excellent located Upper East Side building.
Every feature in the apartments at Barbizon 63 make a statement in luxury, elegance and style. The soaring ceilings, the Bolivian rosewood hardwood floors, the marble accented baths, the French casement windows, the top-of-the-line gourmet kitchens-these are just a few of the many deluxe characteristics of the luxury apartments at Barbizon 63.
Residents of Barbizon 63 will also be able to use the facilities of Club Salon-a club that consists of a magnificent library, a large dining room and a movie screening room. Besides the pre-war characteristics, a luxury concierge service lends Barbizon 63 the classic culture of a bygone era. Celebrities like Liza Minelli and Grace Kelly stayed at rooms here when this building was a luxury hotel.

In order for a case to qualify for a medical malpractice claim, two criteria need to be met. First, there must be an act of negligence committed by a professional health care provider whose treatment or omission of treatment departs from the standard of care met by those with similar training. Second, this negligent act must result in harm to the patient. An estimated 225,000 people die each year from some form of medical malpractice; this includes: errors with medication and misdiagnosis.
Medication errors are one of the most common forms of medical malpractice. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than 106,000 patients die each year because of negative effects of their medication and over 1.5 million people suffer injuries each year from mistakes with their prescriptions. These types of injuries are a result of carelessness and are 100% avoidable.
Most medical malpractice cases hinge on the second and third elements.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to medical malpractice, it is important that you call an experienced personal injury lawyer. Call Grabb & Durando. Our attorneys will fight for your rights and help ensure that you get the compensation that you deserve.


Our company is currently trying to demo your Mach 3 CNC Controller software and we have a few questions I was hoping somebody could help answer for us.
First off, we are using a Vision 2448 Router and were wondering if the Mach 3 software is compatible with this piece of hardware. We are currently controlling the router with a hardware control panel. If your software is compatible with our machine, are there steps on how to directly hardwire the computer to the router and also configure the software to get it operational with the router?
Also, if compatible, is there a way to control the z axis when x and y axis's are in motion while running a job?
Re: Mach 3 compatibility questiion.
Did a quick google for that router and it seems unlikely that it will be a plug and play conversion. You may be able to do this with a bit of rewiring but that will depend on the drive types, ie if they accept Step/Dir input or if they are analogue.
Thanks for the info! Looks like I'll be looking a little deeper into this..
Are the motors servos or steppers?
Any idea what make of drives?
If the Aries are Step & Direction Type the conversion should be fairly easy.
Mach's Plasma users have Auto Z height Control features, There are several way's to do it.
Gather up more info on your system will help, Others will post I'm sure.
Probably a good question. I think I need to do more research on this. I work in tech support for a fairly large company that specializes in personalized gifts. To be honest, I've never even used this type of machine before. Management wants to try this program out, and I'm starting from scratch. Most these terms are a foreign language for me, but I apreciate the input and will reference this thread as I learn.
The real reason we want to try this software is to see if it can not only change the x and y axis position when doing a job, but also change the z axis. Not on the fly or manually, but as part of a job.
I would be interested in the Z on the fly adjustments as well. Any info I can read up on?
TP there was a longish post here a while back concerning this, not sure if anyone got it to work properly or not, will see if I can dig it up and post a link.

Mona Sinha on How Women Can Use Their Wealth to Do Good
Women who give will realize how they can change the world today and for generations to come, she says

Some women aren't comfortable with the word "philanthropist," says Mona Sinha, board member of Women Moving Millions, a global group of women making gifts of $1 million or more for the advancement of women and girls.
The word can feel like it is reserved for men who feel more confident about their success and their own largess.
Step into the discomfort, Ms. Sinha tells other women. Women need to celebrate their success and realize the impact they can make with their money, she says.

The Winter World Championships
Details on the Legend of the Five Rings and A Game of Thrones Worlds
#FFGOP #FFGWorlds
"My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel."
–Sansa Stark, A Storm of Swords
If you have additional questions about the Winter World Championships, you can watch our livestream here!
Whether you are defending the honor of your clan in the Emerald Empire, or supporting your faction in pursuit of the Iron Throne, this winter you can claim the ultimate prize at the upcoming World Championships for Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game and A Game of Thrones: The Card Game!
These World Championship events form the pinnacle of competitive Organized Play, drawing in players from all over the world to compete at the highest possible level. In order to dedicate more space than ever to each game, the Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Winter Court and the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game World Championship have been separated this year, taking place on their own individual weekends!
Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game players, you can fight for your clan at the Fantasy Flight Games Center in Roseville, Minnesota from November 6 – 10, 2019. A Game of Thrones: The Card Game players, the battle for the Iron Throne will also take place at the Fantasy Flight Games Center, from February 7 – 9, 2020. This winter, you will have the chance to prove yourself worthy of the title: World Champion.
We'll explore each event in more detail below, but here's a quick overview of the main events at each upcoming World Championship.
A Game of Thrones: The Card Game
November 6: Last Chance Qualifier
November 7: Day 1A
November 8: Day 1B
November 9: Day 2
November 10: Worlds 2020 Qualifier
February 7: Joust 1A, Melee 1A
February 8: Joust 1B, Melee 1B
February 9: Joust 2, Melee 2
As countless battles are waged across both Westeros and Rokugan, few things are certain amidst the unrest that rules these lands. Despite the ongoing conflicts and political conspiracies, time presses on, the seasons change, and eventually, winter comes. It's during these times of hardship that your people must fight for survival—but there's also the greatest glory to be won!
Can you maintain your honor in the face of your challengers? What will you sacrifice to claim the Iron Throne or to serve your daimyō? Prepare yourself for the chaos that comes with the cold and cut through those who dare challenge you.
For more information on these events, we first look to the Emerald Empire of Rokugan…
Whether you favor the churned mud and hard-won glory of the battlefield, or you test your honor in the veiled courts of Rokugan, your struggles for victory ultimately lead you to the Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Winter Court. This year, the stakes are higher than ever before—for the first time, the World Championship is invite-only, and you must do battle to even win your seat. If you've already won your invitation to the World Championship, you can claim your reserved seat using this form, with a deadline of October 4, 2019. If, however, you have not won the glory of a seat at the most prestigious event in Rokugan, you'll have one last chance to win your place in the World Championship at the Last Chance Qualifier!
The Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Last Chance Qualifier will take place on November 6, giving you the opportunity to win your place among Rokugan's greatest samurai. The Top 64 players in the Last Chance Qualifier are guaranteed to advance to the World Championship (split evenly across Day 1A and Day 1B), with additional seats becoming available if any reserved World Championship seats go unclaimed by their champions. Of course, even if you can't seize a place at the World Championship, there's still plenty for you to do, with side events throughout the weekend, a costume competition, and a World Championship 2020 qualifier on Sunday all available for you to play in.
Tickets for the Last Chance Qualifier go on sale on July 11, 2019 at 2:00 PM CDT (UTC –5), with a fee of $25. If you win your seat in the World Championship and choose to participate, there will be an additional $25 charge.
Once the World Championship proper begins, players will duel across two days, with Day 1A on Thursday, November 7, and Day 1B on Friday, November 8. Both of these flights feed into the highly elite Day 2 on Saturday, November 9, with the champion ultimately winning the title of Shōgun and the chance to influence the story of Legend of the Five Rings forever. Then, before the weekend ends, players will have the chance to contend for seats in next year's World Championship, with a Worlds 2020 Qualifier taking place on Sunday, November 10.
We don't have much to share on the prizes for the Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Winter Court at this point, but we'll have much more information on these prizes as we draw nearer to the event. Importantly, the Prize Wall will be returning to this year's Winter Court, and players will be able to use all tickets earned at this year's Winter Court on the Prize Wall! (Koku earned at Kotei events cannot be spent at the Winter Court Prize Wall.)
Are you prepared to duel for the future of Rokugan and uphold the honor of your clan and family? Grab your tickets for the Last Chance Qualifier on July 11, or claim your reserved seat using this form now! And of course, even if you aren't able to join us in person, we'll be streaming the entire event from FFG Live on Twitch and YouTube—so be sure to stop in and join us there to watch the world's greatest Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game players!
UPDATE: You may buy your tickets for the Last Chance Qualifier starting on July 11th at 2:00 PM CDT (UTC -5). At that time, half of the tickets will be made available. Twelve hours later at 2:00 AM CDT (UTC -5), the other half will become available to purchase.
Meanwhile, in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the battle for the Iron Throne rages on, engulfing mighty lords and lowly peasants, spreading from the sands of Dorne to the icy fastnesses north of the Wall. With a full weekend dedicated to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, players from around the world will have the opportunity to come together and celebrate everything that sets this game apart. Giving A Game of Thrones: The Card Game its own weekend also allows more room for participants, with a total of 360 seats being available.
The main event for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game (Joust format) will begin on Friday, February 7 for Day 1A and Saturday, February 8 for Day 1B. Representing the factions of the Seven Kingdoms, players will use deadly schemes, cunning tactics, and brute strength to make their way to the Day 2 cut on Sunday, February 9. Running alongside the Joust tournament, players can also participate in the Melee tournament, which also runs with opening flights on Friday and Saturday. Those players who outwit and outperform the rest of the competition at their tables will then meet on Sunday for the final Melee showdown.
In addition to Joust and Melee, there will be a number of side events available for players to participate in throughout the World Championship weekend. The Ironborn-themed multiplayer variant, Kingsmoot, will be available for groups to play, as well as draft pods. Stay tuned for more information on these and other side events!
As well as the chance to dedicate a full weekend to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, the February event date also gives players the opportunity to pay the iron price for their World Championship entry by waiting to win a Prime Championship before purchasing a ticket. Registration for the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game World Championship begins July 11, 2019, at 2:00 PM CDT (UTC –5), where half of the seats (of the first batch) will become available. The other half of the first batch of seats will become available twelve hours later at 2:00 AM CDT (UTC -5). The second batch of the seats will be made available at a later date once the Prime Championships are underway and players have had more chances to win their seat. The price point for all tickets is $50, but if you have won a reserved seat, you can claim your seat now! The deadline for claiming these reserved seats is January 4, 2020.
And of course, even if you are unable to attend in person, we'll be streaming the entirety of the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game World Championship with FFG Live on both Twitch and YouTube for you to enjoy!
UPDATE: You may purchase your tickets here starting on July 11th at 2:00 PM CDT (UTC -5). At that time, the first batch of the tickets will be made available.

The second batch of tickets will be made available at a later date once the Prime Championships are well underway.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation, and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008).
I'm always a bit nervous when I visit a museum I love from afar. What if it isn't what I expected? In the case of the Wing, I shouldn't have worried. The institution is community-funded, staffed, and designed. The new building was designed to meet neighborhood needs--not just in the content covered, but in the inclusion of spaces made for particular kinds of activities sought by locals (i.e. a "wedding worthy" community hall). It incorporates work by local artists, old and new construction, and is completely gorgeous. The exhibits are exciting. And the staff have a dizzying commitment to the neighborhood. They're involved in everything from job creation to sanitation to promoting local musicians and restaurants. I was immediately inspired to make a donation.
But the thing I loved the most shocked me. It was the tour of the historic part of the building. I am not typically a fan of museum tours. I avoid them. They're so frequently one-way drone fests. But I would go on the Wing's tour again in a heartbeat.
She started the tour by having us all sit down and introduce ourselves. There were eleven of us on the tour, all adults, mostly couples. Vi started joking with us about our relationships and hometowns while making sure we all remembered each other's names. She made it clear from the start that we were expected to address each other by name and have fun with each other. This immediately led to cross conversation. One man (Gordon from Kirkland) told us that "Vi is kind of a celebrity" in the Seattle Chinatown community, which made the rest of us more excited about taking a tour from her.
Vi was unapologetically personal about her own relationship to the content on display. Because the Wing is a community-driven museum, Vi (and all the tour guides) are from the community and have strong ties to it. In Vi's case, this was extreme. We walked into her family's historic association hall and a replica of her uncle's dry goods store. She showed us her name on a donor wall in the museum. Again and again, she told personal stories of her interactions with the historic and monumental people and events she described. She was political. She told family stories. It felt like she was letting us into her world in a generous, funny way--and that encouraged us to relate and share as well.
Several times on the tour, Vi said, "I once had someone on a tour who told me..." and then recounted some related fact or history. I found this particularly remarkable. Vi is unquestionably an expert on Seattle's Chinatown and on the building we were touring, but she repeatedly shared information she'd learned from visitors. This brought other voices into the tour, but more importantly, it modeled a potential interaction that we could have. We were encouraged to share what we knew, and she demonstrated that she would listen and potentially carry on our knowledge to others.
Vi didn't exhaust us with content; sometimes I actually wished she'd explain more about the room we were in or the artifacts in it (a feeling I never have on tours). But she left me wanting more, and I'm confident that when I return to the Wing, I can take the tour again and learn something new.
I believe that the points above could be applicable to any tour guide in any museum. But Vi's tour also reminded me how dramatically different a community museum is from a typical institution. Vi is not a typical guide who was trained to interpret a building with which she had little prior connection. She is a pillar of her neighborhood. She has a personal connection to everything we saw on tour. I even met her brother in the lobby--a man who also gives tours at the museum. The first thing Vi talked about after asking our names was the capital campaign that built the new museum. She spoke at length with great pride about the $23 million the community raised to build the museum, punctuating her comments with prompts like, "Don't you think that's pretty good?" and "That's a lot of money, right?" It was clear that Vi isn't just someone who talks about history. She is deeply entwined in the stories, in the place, and in the institutional mission, and that came out powerfully in her tour.
Think about how this impacts staff recruiting and training. Vi is less like a low-paid interpreter and more like a senior curator. She can give a freewheeling, idiosyncratic tour because she has the confidence, the connection to the content, and presumably the institutional support to do so. I know this isn't easy--for every guide who is as engaging as Vi, there's probably a community member who'd drone on about his or her pet content. But participatory facilitation can be taught. Passion, confidence, and personal connections to the content--those are the hard things to teach.
What kind of participatory techniques have you seen work well on tours? Have you ever seen this kind of approach fail because the guide's passion was misaligned with visitor expectations?

Era Ends with Death of 'Quiet Beatle' Harrison
By Paul Majendie
LONDON (Reuters) - ``Quiet Beatle'' George Harrison, a contemplative musician who brought a spiritual touch to the world's most famous pop group, has died of cancer at the age of 58.
For millions of grieving fans it was the end of an era. Tragedy had hit the Fab Four again: and now there were only two.
``He was a lovely guy and a very brave man and had a wonderful sense of humor. He is really just my baby brother,'' said fellow Beatle Paul McCartney outside his London home.
The soft-spoken guitarist Harrison died in Los Angeles, finally overpowered by the disease that consumed his final years. His wife Olivia and son Dhani were at his side when he died on Thursday.
``He died with one thought in mind -- love one another,'' said long-time family friend Gavin de Becker on Friday.
McCartney, whose wife Linda died of cancer, paid tribute to Harrison's bravery as death approached. The only other surviving Beatle, Ringo Starr, mourned a ``best friend.''
``We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter,'' the Beatles' drummer said.
Yoko Ono, whose husband John Lennon was gunned down outside their New York apartment in 1980, said Harrison had woven magic.
Outside the Abbey Road studio where the Beatles recorded most of their very many hits, tearful fans paid tribute to a lost icon and a lost age. They scribbled messages on the wall and laid flowers in tribute, blind to the rain around them.
``He'll be on my mind today. I'm going home. I'll light a candle, say a little prayer,'' said American Jade Funk.
``Goodbye George, God Bless,'' said fellow fan Geraldine Scott.
In New York, autumn leaves tumbled as mourners gathered at Strawberry Fields, the Central Park memorial to Lennon.
An album of their 27 number one hit singles topped music charts around the world last year, 30 years after the break-up of the group that shaped the 1960s and revolutionized music.
FLAGS LOWERED
Liverpool, the northern English birthplace of the Beatles, put official flags at half mast. A book of condolence was opened for the guitarist who wrote ``All Things Must Pass.''
``There is a hollow feeling over the whole city that will take a long time to go away. It feels like part of the city is missing,'' said Stephen Bailey, who runs the Beatles memorabilia shop in Liverpool. McCartney said he had last seen Harrison, a life-long smoker, a few weeks ago: ``He was obviously very unwell but he was cracking jokes like he always was and he'll be sorely missed. He was a beautiful man.''
Ono said Harrison had brought magic to all who knew him.
``George has given so much in his lifetime and continues to do so even after his passing, with his music, his wit and his wisdom,'' she said.
``My deep love and concern goes to Olivia and Dhani. The three of them were the closest, most loving family you can imagine.''
Harrison, whose many compositions included ``While My Guitar Gently Weeps,'' first disclosed in 1998 that he had been treated for throat cancer.
A song-writer and guitarist, Harrison married the sounds of the East with Western pop by introducing the sitar in Lennon's 1965 song ``Norwegian Wood.'' The instrument also features on the reflective Harrison classic ``Within You, Without You.''
SHUNNED THE LIMELIGHT
Harrison cheated death when stabbed by an intruder at his English country home in 1999. At the time, he said, ``It reminds you that anything can happen.''
On Friday, fans laid flowers outside the house. ``My guitar will gently weep forever. We love you man,'' read one tribute.
He always shunned the limelight. His image was perfectly summed up in the first Beatles song he wrote, ``Don't Bother Me.''
Like Lennon, he soon grew weary of Beatlemania as the group rushed from concert to concert in stretch limousines, dogged at every turn by screaming, hysterical girls.
Harrison was just 27 when the band split in 1970.
The youngest member of the world's most famous pop group will be remembered for his devotion to Oriental mysticism. It was he who persuaded fellow Beatles to fly to India and sit at the feet of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
A long-time devotee of Hare Krishna, Harrison was always in search of religious meaning in his life.
``When you have had all the experiences, met all the famous people, made some money, toured the world and got all the acclaim you still think -- is that it? Some people might be satisfied with that -- but I wasn't,'' he once said.

It may very well be the Holy Grail for wedding photographers — to shoot a wedding in every single state in the country, so I am certainly not alone with this goal.
As much as I love the regular venues that I work with, I am truly inspired every time I get to go somewhere I have never been before. It's like an adventure to quickly scout out locations at new venues.
Here is my list with the states I have already shot a wedding in crossed out. Are you planning a wedding in a state I have yet to visit? Message me!
If you are planning a wedding in a state I have yet to shoot a wedding in, get in touch with me today, I would love to work something out!


Where to set the safety threshold?
Since I've been involved with designing and marketing play apparatus, fall surfacing, climbing walls and skateparks the issue of protecting kids from falls and the use of helmets has figured prominently throughout my five decades in this field. My experience leads me to the opinion that helmets, and other protective gear should be worn when the player has the intention of testing the limits of their skill or when the environment is unpredictable. For example helmets when dirt biking or on busy streets are a good idea but may not necessary when playing in the neighborhood.
What makes us safe is not protective devices but judgment, honed reflexes, and fundamental movement skills. The goal is to reduce the frequency and severity of injury. If you watch a toddler learning to walk they have several innate behaviors that help achieve this end. When they are about to fall forward their reaction is to resumes their crawling gait and extend their arms in what is called "protective arm reflex." When the fall is backwards they drop to their bottoms. In both cases these instinctual reactions to the job of head protection very well.
The question arises then, what is the impact of using a safety helmet? In talking with child development physiologists they suggest several issues. First they suspect, although there is little research on this, that such protective gear may disrupt the normal progression of reflex maturation. They also are concerned that the lack of consequences when falling may retard the child's ability to form proper assessments of their skill, i.e. reduce their judgment. Finally they speculate that it reinforces a pattern of parenting that is over protective and ultimately harmful.
From this example we can see that, what might appear as a good idea is fraught with complexity and perhaps unintended consequences.
From this post on playground design, questioning a proposal by the ASTM Playground Surfacing Committee (yes, that is a thing) to engineer more safeguards into public playgrounds.
The motivation appears to be that the goal of improving playground safety with the current standard has not significantly reduced the number of hospital visits.
To my mind this is not unlike the logic of the medieval doctor who, when their patient did not get well with one blood letting concluded that they needed more blood letting.
Parenting seems like a delicate balancing act. You can set the safety threshold too high, leaving your child too brittle for the real world they will someday inhabit without you. The anti-vaxxers seem to fall prey to that miscalculation.
I'm very curious to study the parenting style and childhood peer set of kids who become serial entrepreneurs because those are people who seem to have a better understanding than the average person of the concept of risk/reward and thus a healthier acceptance of failure. An overly cautious personality, maybe someone who has always had good grades in school, may only want to play deterministic games, where the relationship between hard work and success is linear.
Entrepreneurship, especially in tech these days, is a probabilistic game. That's not a comfortable style of game for those who bruise easily. Watch someone who isn't in a probabilistic modality sit at a blackjack table and witness their discomfort with every losing hand. Their safety threshold may be set so high the only acceptable play is to never sit down at the table at all.
This choice made me proud because I want my children to be willing to delay gratification in exchange for probabilistically greater future rewards. When it comes to human capital, I want them to have low discount rates. One of the most foundational aspects of a person's utility function is the intertemporal marginal rate of substitution, the willingness to forego current consumption in order to consume more in the future. If you (highly) discount future rewards, you're less likely to be willing to invest in human capital; why give up leisure/consumption today for something in the future about which you don't care very much?
Of course, if your discount rate is too low, you will sacrifice most of today's pleasures for the prospect of even modestly greater rewards in the future. I want my kids' discount rate to be low, but I don't want it to be zero.? I don't want them to sacrifice all of today's pleasures for some future pie in the sky.
So, here's a bleg for Freaknation: If you had to choose your child's discount rate, what number would you choose, and why? How much pleasure would you want them to sacrifice now in exchange for more pleasure in the future? How low would you go?
Ayres goes on to endorse the value of the Suzuki method, one I'm familiar with from my many years playing the violin.
As a child of a Tiger Mom, I'm more empathetic to the sentiment that drives Tiger Moms the more the years pass. The payoff for hard work and perseverance often comes only years after the initial drudgery, and parents are often the only ones who realize it as they live in that future where they've reaped those benefits. How they get their children to appreciate those benefits before cashing them in is the trick of parenting, isn't it?
It can be taken too far, though, as in Japanese youth baseball. Young star Japanese pitchers are pushed to extremes that most of the world consider child abuse in efforts to win the mythical Koshien tournament, the most important Japanese high school baseball tourney.
This spring, 16 year old Tomohiro Anraku pitched 772 pitches in 9 days for Saibi High of the Ehime Prefecture. He pitched his team to the final, throwing four consecutive complete games — 232, 159, 138, and 134 pitches, respectively. It all caught up to him in the championship game, when he collapsed in the fifth and sixth innings, eventually getting pulled after 109 pitches in a 17-1 defeat as his velocity and mechanics disintegrated.
Modern pitchers already have a high injury rate, but the injury track record of Japanese pitchers coming to MLB has been even worse. There's a point at which pushing children for near-term gains (and college baseball coaches often subject star pitchers to high pitch counts in the NCAA tournament as well) at the expense of their future is a cruel inversion of the economics of parenting or mentorship.
We've come a long way, as a species. And we're better at many things than we ever were before – not just slightly better, but unimaginably, ridiculously better. We're better at transporting people and objects, we're better a killing, we're better at preventing infectious diseases, we're better at industrial production, agricultural and economic output, we're better at communications and sharing of information.
But in some areas, we haven't made such dramatic improvements. And one of those areas is parenting. We're certainly better parents than our own great-great-grandparents, if we measure by outcomes, but the difference is of degree, not kind. Why is that?
The post includes a couple theories as to why the labor productivity of parenting has not increased.
If you accept the premise that parenting is difficult to do well no matter how hard you try, it's worth reading the arguments put forth by Bryan Caplan in his book Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Being a Great Parent is Less Work and More Fun Than You Think, namely that you should chill out a bit and burn yourself out less trying to be a super-parent. You'll be happier and more stress-free, and your child will probably turn out the same.


Human spontaneous non-demonstrative inference is not, overall, a logical process. Hypothesis formation involves the use of deductive rules, but is not totally governed by them; hypothesis confirmation is a non-logical cognitive phenomenon: it is a by-product of the way assumptions are processed, deductively or otherwise. (Sperber and Wilson, p. 69).
From a Peircean standpoint this raises the question of abductive reasoning and its role in the cycle of inquiry.
As I read him, Peirce began with a quest to understand how science works, which required him to examine how symbolic mediations inform inquiry, which in turn required him to develop the logic of relatives beyond its bare beginnings in De Morgan. There are therefore intimate links, which I am still trying to understand, among his respective theories of inquiry, signs, and relations.
There's a bit on the relation between interpretation and inquiry and a bit more on the three types of inference — abduction, deduction, induction — in the following paper and project report.

Roger Hallsworth had already established himself as one of the top fanciers in the North Road Championship Club, and he enhanced this reputation still further by winning the last old bird race of the season from Thurso.
Provisional results show that the Selston, Derbys, retired miner timed in at 18-54 on Sunday to record a velocity of 1112 yards per minute over a distance of 391 miles.
The birds had been liberated at 8-35am after a two-day holdover, the race having been scheduled for Friday.
The west in the wind suggested that, perhaps, the top prize would not be won in Section A. In the event, the first three provisional places are occupied by Section A fanciers.
This is Roger's fourth open NRCC win, the others being the young bird national last year, Dunbar old birds 2009, and Lerwick 2006. All the open winners are still in his loft.
One of the satisfying aspects of the latest win is the fact that the three-year-old grizzle hen that achieved it, is a great-granddaughter of the Lerwick King's Cup winner.
She had been switched from south road racing this year and was sent sitting 14 days. Previously she had been raced on roundabout, but, when the Lerwick team had been despatched to their race, the remainder had been allowed to be on open hole in the build-up to Thurso, with Ripon being used as a preparation race.
Roger is back in the swing of north road racing again and is particularly enjoying being back in the NRCC fold. Just when he was wondering whether his birds would cope with the switch from south to north, he was given the answer in emphatic fashion, not only by the Thurso winner and the four other birds that followed, but also in the Lerwick race where he was 6, 8, 11 and 32 open (2, 3, 5 and 10 Section A).
Roger has been a fancier for more than 55 years, and enjoys his club racing with the Pinkston club.
Second in the provisional result are Nuttall and Son, Nottingham, on 1096 ypm, and third are Mr and Mrs G Knowles, of Rainworth, on 1092.
Mr and Mrs Russ Skinner, of Boston, returning to north road racing this year, are provisionally fourth. No strangers to NRCC success, they have won the Thurso race twice before, and also been successful from Perth.
Other leading provisional results are: 5 R Hughes and Son, Wisbech 1083; 6 R Laws, Chatteris, 1082.554; 7 Upsall and Grandson, Boston, 1082.324; 8 Mr and Mrs T Augustini, Leicester, 1067 (they were also runners-up from Lerwick); 9 M James, Chatteris, 1061; 10 Mr and Mrs D Evans, Alford 1051; 11 T Winterton, Holbeach Fen, 1047.592; and 12 Dale Neil Dennis and Son, Kings Lynn 1047.255.

Collegiate Comedy Circa 1949
Higher Education When Mother Is A Freshman
Loretta Young wangles way into college at late date (age 35, so her character claims, although LY herself was but 36 in '49) for the sake of bratty daughter Betty Lynn, who's gaga over English prof Van Johnson. No surprise that he'll flip for Loretta, even as years of movie stardom had calcified this actress to appearance older than her actual age. For being at the job so long by 1949, Young must have seemed anything but youthful to an emerging second generation of viewership. She plays comedy not unlike melodrama, both an essential same to a performing mechanism whose focus seemed more on coif and costuming. Collegiate setting is what pleases, the whole of campus exteriors shot at the University Of Nevada at Reno. This was Loretta Young's return to Fox after eight years, having been queen there, but tiring of statue parts they'd assigned her (maybe 20th understood appropriate casting better than she). There's a sophomore dance, music borrowed from previous Fox pix, and to-be stars among student body (Debra Paget, Barbara Lawrence). Professor Van explains to Loretta at one point that there's nothing inappropriate about faculty dating students, the college having progressed to a point where such is OK. He also has a live-in, uniformed maid at his gingerbread teacher's residence and is fully equipped to support Loretta, plus daughter's tuition, should they wed. Struggling educators of the day must have gotten a yok out of that.

Dan Mercer offers fascinating analysis of today's banner:
The close-up of one of Joel Cairo's passports from "The Maltese Falcon" in the banner is great. Is it a frame blow-up? Obviously the Warners art department went to a good deal of trouble to create an assortment of seemingly authentic passports for Sam Spade to rifle through, when some of them would be seen for scarcely a fraction of a second.
This particular one is from Greece, indicates that Cairo is a "traveler" and that his birthdate is May 5, 1903. That would make him around 38 years old when the film was made, more than enough time to have experienced the more sordid aspects of his life. "Traveler" has the sort of indefiniteness that an international man of mystery would enjoy. He was also born under the sign of Taurus, which is neither here nor there, as I should know.
More interesting is the bold signature on passport. Now, this would hardly be a broad enough sample for a Graphoanalysis expert, who would want at least 100 strokes to consider, but for our purposes, it is enough. The upright slant, for example, suggests someone who is logical and practical. His head controls his heart. Always a good thing in affairs that can become ugly. The large size of the letters, however, indicates that he has a big personality and enjoys being noticed. That would go with the natty suits, cane, and bow ties, not to mention the somewhat overwhelming cologne he favors.
He is not all that he appears, however. The loops of his "l"s and "e"s are closed. Possibly he's feeling tense or restricting himself in some way. His clothing is flamboyant enough, but are there other aspects of his personality which cannot be displayed as openly? At the same time, he is skeptical and unswayed by emotional arguments. Of course, that would go with his practicality. If only for that, he would be immune to Miss O'Shaughnessy's whimsies, even if he could be interested in her otherwise.
The large spaces of his letters indicate a critical, cautious, and cultured personality. Obviously he found Spade fascinating but somewhat declasse, Wilmer more so, though with his uses. The baseline suggests, however, that he needs control to feel comfortable, while the unconnected first letters indicates a hesitation in taking the first step. He tends to be overly cautious--that word again--even to procrastinate before having to make a decision. With his intelligence and scepticism, he would be good in a game of intrigue, but he really requires the direction of Kaspar Gutman to prosper; that is, someone with vision and a plan, someone with the will to put it through. So of course he will accompany him back to Istanbul, if the police will allow it. He has no moral sense nor a strong will of his own. Better to be in the hands of a devil than to be nothing at all.
Now, of course, this must all be a coincidence. As much trouble as the Warners minions went to in producing this artifact, I can't imagine that they would even create a plausible signature for the fictitious Joel Cairo. But if it is and if they didn't, there must have been a most unusual personality employed in the back rooms of the studio at that time.

I saw this Loretta Young film in the late 90s on, of all places, HBO. Despite they used Technicolor, it is nothing more than a programmer.
The few posters or ads I have seen from Spain or the United States are basically the same.
This one by Anselmo Ballester, from Italy, is significantly better... and better than the film itself!

Q: Codeigniter slug, url I have 4 controllers: Catalog, Contact, About, Main.
On each controller, I want to set the individual URL from the database.
The structure of the database page:
url_title|id_page|name_page|page_section|
about-us |   5   |  About  |    about   |

how can this be implemented, taking into account that the function will be also indicate the URL?

A: the site url can be different then the controller name and optional method name.
in application/config/routes.php
$route['about-us'] = 'about';

so then website.com/about-us will 'route' to the about controller index method
if you want to specify a method in the about controller such as show()
$route['about-us'] = 'about/show';

The Fred Hollows Foundation
The Fred Hollows Foundation is inspired by the work of the late Professor Fred Hollows (1929–1993).
Fred was an eye doctor, a skilled surgeon of international renown and a social justice activist.
Fred was committed to improving the health of Indigenous Australians and to reducing the cost of eye health care and treatment in developing countries.
The Foundation was established in Sydney in 1992, five months before Fred passed away, with the aim of continuing and expanding on the program work he had started in Eritrea, Vietnam and Indigenous Australia.
The Foundation now works throughout Africa, Asia (South and South East) and Australia, focusing on blindness prevention and Australian Indigenous health.

Three million Australians are currently experiencing anxiety or depression. Every day, seven people take their own lives.
Because this affects all of us, we're equipping everyone in Australia with the knowledge and skills to protect their own mental health. We're giving people the confidence to support those around them, and making anxiety, depression and suicide part of everyday conversations.
And as well as tackling stigma, prejudice and discrimination, we're breaking down the barriers that prevent people from speaking up and reaching out.
