Buds epitomize new growth and beautiful things to come. So naturally, this pair of buds tends to blossom with fresh feelings of hope and beauty. Hand-forged and hammered, each sterling silver design measures 1.25" long.


The long-running medical drama will return in 2013-2014.
ABC has renewed Grey's Anatomy for a tenth season. The Shonda Rhimes medical drama has been on the air since 2005, becoming a Thursday night regular since moving there in its third season. The show will surpass the 200-episode milestone in 2013-2014.
They should put in a little kick with some of the doctors form ER making cameos here and there. Scott Grimes, George Clooney, Etc.
Alan Alda should come in as chief of surgery.that would be awesome!!!
I've been an avid fan of Grey's but I have to admit that season 9 was below par.Here's hoping season 10 ups the ante somewhat. I'd hate to see Grey's end,ever.
What? Is this crap still going on?
and Grey is still on air?
What date does Season 10 of Grey's Anatomy begin?
This show is a poor man's ER.
Grey's is great! I enjoy the characters and their complex dillemmas! Bravo for season 10!

Q: Calculate the complex integral $ \int _\gamma{\operatorname{Re}(\xi)d\xi}$ Compute $$ \int _\gamma{\operatorname{Re}(\xi)d\xi},$$
where $\gamma(t)$ is the right semicircle with radius $1$ and center $0$ from $z=-i$ to $z=i$.
$$z_0=0,\,\, R=1,\,\,z=[-i,i]$$
I tried this.
$$z(t)=x(t)+iy(t)=\cos(t) + i \sin(t)$$
$$ \xi(t)=\cos(t) + i \sin(t)\to \operatorname{Re}(\xi)=\cos(t)$$
$$ \xi'=-\sin (t)+i\cos(t) $$
$$ \int _\gamma{\operatorname{Re}(\xi)d\xi}=\int _{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}{\cos(t)(-\sin (t)+i\cos(t))} dt$$
I don't know if it's a correct procedure and how to evaluate the integral.

CAMH Foundation Newsletter | Spring 2018
Through your past generous support of CAMH you have helped move the mental health movement forward.
Showing the world that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Thank you for believing in the future of mental health
We hope you enjoy reading the following stories — they are proof of your generosity at work.
Gifts of Light gives patients the joy of music
Meet a CAMH Change Agent
New research and education hub for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and mental illness
Jamie Dew shows his strength
Thanks to donor support, Gifts of Light is creating a sense of community through the joy of drum making and playing. In partnership with Vibe Arts, a community arts organization in Toronto, Gifts of Light gave clients the opportunity to participate in "Beat of Your Own Drum (BYOD)" last summer — and its impact continues to echo across CAMH.
"Friendships were developing, and our clients began sharing stories, skills and compliments with one another."
Over three weeks, more than 10 clients worked with drum master, Saikou, to build their own Djembe drums. It was a fun, hands-on experience. Clients chose symbols from Ghana to draw onto the body of the drum and were responsible for sanding, waxing and preparing it for the intricate tuning process.
Each class, the clients started to gain a new sense of confidence about not only the drum making process, but their identity within the group. "Friendships were developing, and our clients began sharing stories, skills and compliments with one another," said Quinn Kirby, Gifts of Light Program Manager.
The finished drums were donated to units across the hospital, so that everyone could enjoy them. Gifts of Light continued to facilitate weekly workshops throughout the fall, teaching clients and staff how to use the drums and celebrate the healing nature of music together.
"We were overwhelmed with the popularity and success of the drumming programs in 2017 and discussions with Vibe Arts are well underway to bring additional music and art programs to our clients throughout 2018," said Kirby.
Watch the drum making process below and donate today to help more CAMH clients build confidence.
Creating Hope for Complete Recovery
"We're sending a strong message that individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities deserve equitable access to the resources of our health care system and our society."
In early 2018, CAMH announced the Azrieli Centre for Adult Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Mental Health, the first centre of its kind in Canada.
Created through a visionary $10.4-million gift from the Azrieli Foundation and led by Dr. Yona Lunsky, the Centre will give adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and mental illness greater opportunities to lead healthier lives and reach their full potential.
The Azrieli Centre for Adult Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Mental Health will fuel new breakthroughs, train the next generation of experts, provide better care and share groundbreaking knowledge with the world.
"This CAMH Centre will re-imagine care and supports for people with neurodevelopmental disabilities who have the experience of mental illness," said Dr. Catherine Zahn, President and CEO of CAMH. "We're sending a strong message that individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities deserve equitable access to the resources of our health care system and our society."
Your support helps fuel breakthroughs — donate today.
A Closer Look at Child and Youth Mental Health in Ontario
Young people aged 15 to 24 are more likely to experience mental illness and substance use disorders than any other age group.
In Ontario, the number of visits to a physician by children and youth for mental illness and addictions has increased 25 per cent between 2006 to 2014.
The number of emergency department visits for children and youth with mental illness and addictions has increased 53 per cent between 20016 and 2014.
Facing Off Against Mental Illness
In January, 20 CAMH clients took part in the sixth annual Hockey Talks Mental Health Awareness Night at the Air Canada Centre. Gifts of Light helped promote CAMH and coordinate the exciting evening, while clients and staff cheered on the Toronto Maple Leafs from the Ford Fan Deck.
Hockey Talks is a program run by the National Hockey League that aims to raise awareness and help end stigma around mental illness. CAMH has partnered with the Maple Leafs on this initiative since 2013.
Zach Schwartz is hopeful. The self-described optimist says it's an "exciting time" for mental health — and he's doing his best to seize the moment. A proud CAMH volunteer and supporter, Zach is a Change Agent, making monthly donations to fuel life-saving research and care, and a board member of CAMH Engage, a young professionals' group raising funds and awareness for mental health.
Why did you decide to get involved with CAMH?
I struggled with — and indeed still struggle with — depression and anxiety, which was most acute during university. I was fortunate to get the help I needed and that put me on an upward, albeit non-linear, trajectory. CAMH is uniquely positioned in its ability to drive change for mental health: locally, nationally and internationally. The hospital impacts policy, produces groundbreaking research, and does extraordinary clinical work that's making a real difference in people's lives.
You're a Change Agent, giving monthly to CAMH. What impact do these kinds of gifts have?
Monthly donations provide the hospital with a reliable and predictable source of funds that offer researchers and clinicians some much-needed flexibility — so they can focus all of their efforts on leading discovery and improving care for patients. I might periodically make supplemental, one-time gifts to specific areas relevant to me and to my CAMH Engage colleagues.
"CAMH is uniquely positioned in its ability to drive change for mental health: locally, nationally and internationally."
You're also having an impact in the community as a member of CAMH Engage. How did you become part of that group?
I heard about CAMH Engage through Alex Tapscott, who I've known since high school [Alex's mother, Ana Lopes, is former Chair and current member of the CAMH Foundation Board of Directors]. Given my personal experience, I wanted to get involved. It's been extremely rewarding. CAMH Engage raises a meaningful amount of money and, equally important, raises awareness about mental health.
The subcommittee I'm co-chairing right now is focused on community outreach — a new area for us and one that we're quite excited about. We're developing innovative opportunities for businesses of any size to support CAMH.
It sounds like you are doing a lot of great work with CAMH. What would you say to others looking to contribute?
Talking about mental health with your family, friends and colleagues is a great start! CAMH and the Foundation both have some great options for leveraging your talents to help you make a difference.
It's an exciting time for CAMH and mental health in general. There's still a lot of work to do. In the current political climate, particularly south of the border, insalubrious media discussion — or more accurately, speculation — about mental health may be counteracting some of our efforts to reduce stigma. Still, attitudes are changing and CAMH is leading the way — not just in research and clinical successes, but also in changing hearts and minds.

Lending a Helping Paw
Thanks to a recent grant from PetSmart Charities of Canada, CAMH will increase the number of dogs in the Pet Therapy Program from 28 to 40 over the next year. This grant will provide even more clients with the chance to benefit from the healing power of animals.
Encouraging Courage
For Jamie Dew, living with constant anxiety and sadness just felt normal. For most of his life, he had managed to power through each day, carrying the weight of an undiagnosed mental illness. Then in his early 20s, his symptoms took over and he simply couldn't get out of bed.
"I saw the look in somebody's eyes from across the room when I told my story. They were saying, 'I get it.'"
In the years since, Jamie has made not only a commitment to his own health, but also the health of others.
"I remember going into my first outpatient group and sitting in a room with strangers, feeling totally nervous and, to be honest, a bit skeptical," says Jamie. "But then I saw the look in somebody's eyes from across the room when I told my story. They were saying, 'I get it.' It flipped a switch in me and I realized the power in sharing stories and supporting each other. None of us are as alone as we feel."
That connection and understanding inspired Jamie to help others talk about their own experiences. He recently launched a podcast called "A Show of Strength" to give others a forum to share their stories.
The podcast features down-to-earth and in-depth conversations that "encourage courage," Jamie's personal mantra.
After all, who couldn't use a little more courage in their life? "Maybe there are people out there listening that will also have that 'aha' moment, right?" says Jamie

New Drug Formulation Could Treat Candida Infections
This photomicrograph of a sputum specimen reveals the presence of chlamydospores of the fungal organism, Candida albicans, in a case of invasive pulmonary candidiasis. Courtesy of CDC/Dr. Brinkman
With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increasing around the world, new research led by the University of Bristol has shown a new drug formulation could possibly be used in antifungal treatments against Candida infections.
Candida albicans, a well-known yeast usually seen in the mouth, skin, gut and vagina, is reported to form biofilms and cause mild to life threatening infections. Fluconazole, an antifungal drug widely used to treat Candida infections is completely ineffective in treating Candida biofilms and new drugs are needed to treat them. However, unlike antibiotics, developing antifungal drugs is very challenging because yeast cells are structurally similar to human cells, as a result, there is a greater chance of unwanted side effects with new antifungal drugs. A better alternative would be to improve the efficiency of currently approved antifungal drugs such as fluconazole but with minimal side effects.
Recent studies have shown that microorganisms can communicate with each other using various chemical signals. Some microorganisms use these signals to control other competing microorganisms and these signals could potentially be used as antimicrobial drugs.
In the study, published in International Journal of Pharmaceutics, the researchers investigated whether using some of these microbial signals from bacteria could improve the activity of fluconazole against Candida biofilms.
The research team found that a specific chemical signal released from a major bacterial pathogen can be successfully used to significantly improve the activity of fluconazole against Candida biofilms by packaging them to small lipid molecules and delivering them together.
The pioneering research is one of only a few studies to demonstrate the possibility of using naturally existing microbial compounds against other pathogenic microorganisms.
Dr. Nihal Bandara, a lecturer in oral microbiology from the Bristol Dental School and corresponding author, said: "It is well known that microorganisms live as "slime" communities, called "microbial biofilms", and are responsible for up to 80 per cent of all infections in humans. These microorganisms are extremely difficult to remove even with the most effective antimicrobial drugs. They can lead to a significant number of deaths and disabilities to patients and can be a healthcare and financial burden to economies around the world.
"It was really exciting to discover that we can use various signals released by microorganisms against others to control infections."
The research team would like to develop the technique used in the study and investigate the efficacy of new drug formulation using an animal model.
In the future, it is hoped researchers and pharmaceutical industries will explore the antimicrobial properties of microbial chemical signals so they can be developed into cost effective treatments.
This work was supported by IADR Innovation in Oral Care Award 2016 awarded to Dr Nihal Bandara by the International Association for Dental Research and GlaxoSmithKline.
The study was an international collaboration by a team from the University of Bristol, UK; University of Texas at Austin, USA; University of Queensland, Australia and University of Sharjah, UAE.

These dogs deserve the best because they have lived the worst.
Almost all of our dogs come from local animal controls. We visit and evaluate the dogs and leave with as many as we can, depending on funds and foster homes. The photos on this page are just some of the dogs that we are hoping to save. To be clear: These dogs are NOT on "Death Row" at FLDR. These are the dogs we are hoping to save FROM "Death Row" at local animal control shelters, puppy mills, or are being surrendered to FLDR.
All of the dogs on this page that are in shelters are available ONLY to rescues because of their medical or behavioral issues. The public can't adopt them directly from the shelters.
Will you help us free a dog from death row now? You are able to see pictures of the life YOU helped save - with your name and the dog's picture posted right here on this page. You are able to see quickly the life that you saved, and follow their progress to foster care, adoptable dogs, and then adoption into a loving furever family!
Simply click any of the "Donate" buttons, donate $75 and you'll see the first photo of the dog you saved. Please also consider saving a dog as a unique gift for a friend who loves dogs. Just include their email address and we'll note that this generous gift of life was made by you, on behalf of your friend.
THANK YOU for acting now to save these dogs!
Thanks to YOUR donations, we've been able to rescue the dogs on this page this month! YOU are making a difference in their lives!
For just $75 you will guarantee one of the desperate dogs on death row at Animal Control (or awaiting intake from a puppy mill) will "escape" into one of our loving foster homes where we will provide the medical care, emotional recovery and comfort the little dog needs until we find them their furever home.
Just to be clear: We want to SAVE these dogs FROM Death Row at Animal Control. FLDR does not have a Death Row, and once with us dogs are not in jeopardy of being euthanized. Please read the entire page and info before sending us hateful emails and voicemails accusing us of wanting to kill dogs:( We are working hard to save them, but are limited financially, which is why we need Angels. Thank you!
Most of these dogs, and many more, are on Death Row at Animal Control right now! We are eager to save them.
For only $75 you can save a dog from death row--a fee to animal control to "pull" the dog, an initial exam at our vet's office and to our groomers for emergency loving care. These dogs can never be placed up for adoption at Animal Control, as their conditions require immediate care. Others, just need immediate surrender to FLDR. For just $75 you can provide them with that immediate medical care. We are their only hope!
If the dogs below are marked "saved" please know your donation will be applied to the next dog that needs us, and we receive many more "Please save them" requests from Animal Control each day!
These dogs, and many more, are on Death Row at Animal Control right now! We are eager to save them.
All of the dogs above are available ONLY to rescues because of their behavioral or medical issues. The public can't adopt them directly from their shelter. We are their only hope!
These dogs have been saved thanks to YOU! They have been released to our vets for medical care, have been groomed, and placed into foster care, where they are being loved and rehabilitated emotionally and physically thanks to YOUR donation! Thank YOU!!
Keep an eye out for these Florida Little Dogs on our "Adoptable Dogs" page!

Saxon - "Saxon"
ALBUM TITLE: Saxon
GENRE: NWOBHM
ARTIST: Saxon
Saxon's self-titled debut, widely regarded as the first LP to be released by a New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band, was first released in 1979 on the French Carrere label. Originally forming in Barnsley, South Yorkshire as Son Of A Bitch, the quintet of Biff Byford on vocals, Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn on lead guitars, Steve Dawson on bass and Pete Gill on drums, upon being signed, the band swiftly changed their name to Saxon (which their label thought would be more palatable to US audiences). Produced by John Verity at Livingstone Studios, the album starts with the progressively flavoured suite of 'Rainbow Theme'/'Frozen Rainbow'. The rest of the album is suffused with a punky energy, and features the classics 'Stallions Of The Highway', 'Still Fit To Boogie' and 'Militia Guard'.
Bonus material:
The original album is now supplemented by pre-album demos, recorded when they were still called Son Of A Bitch, their first BBC session, recorded in 1980 for Tommy Vance's Radio 1 Friday Rock Show, plus live tracks from the inaugural Donington Monsters Of Rock show, 1980. It also features rare and previously unseen photos courtesy of the band's personal archives as well as extensive liner notes by Classic Rock and Metal Hammer journalist Jerry Ewing, written in co-operation with lead singer Biff Byford.
Innocence Is No Excuse
Rock The Nations
Originally released on 16th April 1984, Saxon's sixth album was produced by Kevin Beamish at the legendary Sound City Studios, in Los Angeles.
Saxon's fifth album, Power And The Glory was originally released on 21st March 1983 and was produced by Jeff Glixman at Axis Sound Studios in Atlanta.
Denim And Leather
Saxon's fourth album, Denim And Leather was originally released on 5th October 1981.

Since our inception in 1920, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has worked diligently to procure benefits for disabled veterans and their families. We are a non-profit organization that has no affiliation with the government, nor do we receive any subsidies or funding.
At DAV, we work to enhance our understanding of the horrors of previous wars and their effects. We continue to build our knowledge on the issues currently pertinent to the newest generation of heroes. Historically, DAV has focused on the effects on veterans from mustard gas of World War I, radiation poisoning of WWII, Agent Orange and PTSD from the Vietnam Era. Now we are working diligently to understand the issues of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and severe amputations, as well as the increased survival rate from these injuries and the obstacles they face.
Many think the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) takes care of all veterans' needs, especially those injured in service. Due to the current transitioning practices within the VA and the backlog of claims, DAV is forever vigilant in addressing the wellbeing of our nation's veterans. Learn more about our services and how our unique organization is fulfilling our promise to the men and women who served.

Popowo Stare – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie wielkopolskim, w powiecie wolsztyńskim, w gminie Przemęt.

Historia
Wzmiankowana była po raz pierwszy w 1361 r. Pierwotnie należała do Popowskich, później do Rozdrażewskich, Jeziorkowskich i Gawrońskich. Być może w średniowieczu była to siedziba rycerska, po której pozostały relikty fosy. W początkach XVIII w. wieś należała do Rogalińskich, którzy mieli tu dwór kryty strzechą, a od poł. XVIII w. majątek należał do Szołdrskich z Czempinia. Popowo było wówczas miejscem zjazdów szlacheckich, związanych z działalnością patriotyczną. W 1 poł. XIX w. Popowo przeszło w ręce niemieckie. W tym czasie zwane było Popowem Niemieckim.

W okresie Wielkiego Księstwa Poznańskiego (1815-1848) miejscowość wzmiankowana jako Popowo niemieckie (niem. Deutsch Poppen) należała do wsi większych w ówczesnym pruskim powiecie Kosten rejencji poznańskiej. Popowo niemieckie należało do okręgu śmigielskiego tego powiatu i stanowiło siedzibę majątku, który należał wówczas do J. Szołdrskiego. Według spisu urzędowego z 1837 roku Popowo niemieckie liczyło 254 mieszkańców, którzy zamieszkiwali 29 dymów (domostw).

W 1832 r. ukrywał się tu gen. Klemens Kołaczkowski, jeden z przywódców powstania listopadowego. Być może w tym czasie gościł tu także Adam Mickiewicz. W 1890 r. wykupił je Franciszek Ksawery Speichert. Od 1936 r. wieś była w posiadaniu rodziny Łanieckich, którzy sprzedali dwór wraz z gospodarstwem i gorzelnią w latach 70. do PGR Stare Bojanowo.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa leszczyńskiego.

Zabytki
 Pałac wznoszący się w południowo-wschodniej części wsi rozpoczął budować przypuszczalnie po 1781 roku Ignacy Szołdrski, a po jego wczesnej śmierci budowę kontynuowała jego żona Balbina z Suchorzewskich, która zakończyła budowę około 1785 roku. Rezydencja pomimo że była parterowa, miała wyniesiona część środkową, która mieściła wielką salę balową. Twórcą pałacu był architekt Ignacy Graff, nadworny architekt książąt Sułkowskich, który stworzył jeden z najcenniejszych przykładów późnobarokowej siedziby w Wielkopolsce. Wewnątrz zachowały się oryginalne rokokowe dekoracje sztukatorskie. W 1826 roku z inicjatywy Albertyny z Kołaczkowskich w pałacu przeprowadzono remont. S 1832 roku ukrywał się w nim generał Klemens Kołaczkowski, jeden z przywódców Powstania listopadowego. W drugiej połowie XIX wieku na skutek polityki władz zaborczych Popowo przeszło w ręce niemieckie, jednak w 1890 roku wykupił je Ksawery Speichert. On też odnowił rezydencję w 1908 roku zmieniając częściowo stolarkę. W 1938 roku Speichertowie sprzedali pałac Józefowi Łanieckiemu, od którego syna w 1976 roku rezydencję odkupił miejscowy PGR. Pałac obecnie przeżywa ponownie czasy świetności organizując liczne imprezy kulturalne i okolicznościowe w doskonale odtworzonych wnętrzach. Przy północnej ścianie dworu rośnie pomnikowa grupa pięciu cisów, a od wschodu oddziela pozostałość dawnej fosy.
 Park rozciągający się przy dworze o założeniu krajobrazowym z końca XIX w. (4,00 ha), z różnorodnym drzewostanem i wieloma pomnikami przyrody, z których najgrubszym jest rosnący na północnym skraju dąb o obwodzie 640 cm. Z przodu reprezentacyjny podjazd w kształcie elipsy i brama z XIX w.
 Gorzelnia, murowana, 1901 r.
 Dom pofolwarczny, murowany, 1859 r.

A push is on to double the number of angel investors in Ireland with the aim of increasing the amount going into Irish start-ups to €25 million a year by 2020.
Marking its tenth anniversary this week, the Halo Business Angel Network (HBAN) said it aims to increase investment by 17 per cent per year for the next four years.
The network said its key focus over the next four years will be attracting more seed investors to invest in the ICT, medtech and health sectors in particular. Combined, these sectors attracted over €8.7 million, out of a total €13.6 million, in angel funding invested last year.
HBAN, which is a joint initiative of InterTradeIreland and Enterprise Ireland, serves as a go-between to bring start-ups and investors together. Key sectors covered by angel syndicates managed by HBAN include ICT, healthcare, consumer products and food.
"We're very focused on recruiting new angels and developing our regional syndicates. In particular, the HBAN offices in Galway, Cork and Waterford are very active in attracting new investors by inviting them to monthly forums and pitching events," said national director John Phelan.
HBAN angels have invested over €80 million in Irish start-ups over the last ten years. When the €124 million invested by other funds in those agreements is taken into account, this brings the total invested to €204 million. The 395 investments include a number of success stories including AventaMed, Rubicoin, GloFox, iCabbi and Corlytics.
Angels have seen a good return on investment on deals overall, with noteworthy exits including Mark Little's Storyful; music analytics firm, Soundwave, which was acquired by Spotify; and biopharma company, Nexvet, which was bought by Zoetis for $85 million.
Last year, investors associated with HBAN ploughed more than €13 million into 50 Irish start-ups with the average investment running at €272,000. This marked a 25 per cent increase on the €10.8 million raised from angel investors a year earlier.
HBAN has six angel syndicates operating in Ireland. There are also four recently established international investment groups.
"In terms of return on investment, HBAN is providing excellent value. Over twenty times the cost of the programme is invested by angels in Irish companies through the network, and when other public and private funds are included, that jumps to 50 times the cost of the programme," said Mr Phelan.

Culture Crush: February 2021 Closes Out with Virtual Events
Throughout February, the Marin County Free Library has hosted a slew of virtual events and other programming pertaining to Black History Month. This week, the library presents several more events, including "Food for the Soul: Black Experience in Marin," which invites the public to hear a cross-generational panel discussion about living while Black in Marin. The online event brings together County of Marin African American Employee Association leader Meloni Page, youth activist Sophia Martin, Tam Wellness coordinator Amber Allen-Pierson, PLAY Marin Executive Director Paul Austin and others on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7pm. Free. Marinlibrary.org.
Virtual Reading
Longtime educator Lauren Coodley is the author of three books on Napa history, as well as a textbook of California history and a biography of Upton Sinclair. On March 1, Coodley will release her latest book, Lost Napa Valley; and this week she participates in an online reading and discussion with the Napa County Historical Society as part of the society's "Who Tells Our Story" event series. Lost Napa Valley takes a deeper look into once-beloved Wine Country landmarks, like the Kay Von Drive-In and the Bel Aire Bowl, that now live on only in memory. Coodley launches the book on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7pm. Free. Napahistory.org.
Later this year, the Museum of Sonoma County will exhibit "Collective Arising: A Positionality of Insistence from Black Bay Area Artists," which tells the story of how Black artists in the Bay Area turned to artists' collectives to help amplify their voices. This week, exhibit co-curators Ashara Ekundayo and Lucia Olubunmi Momoh will discuss the history of artists' collectives and their philosophical and political foundations. The two will also preview the forthcoming exhibit, which will feature varied works made by contemporary Black artists living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Join the discussion on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7pm. Free. Museumsc.org.
Virtual Variety Show
Last year, Occidental Center for the Arts took to the internet to present streaming entertainment in the wake of Covid, and the center wraps up February with its fifth virtual variety show, titled "Winter Classic."

Q: Can I use a Wildcard in CMD when looking for a folder that has a Timestamp on it? I'm trying to move a file from one location to another folder that was created with a timestamp in CMD.
At its simplest form, it looks like this:
move C:\temp\version.txt C:\temp\DB-backup*\version.txt

It gives me the error that "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"
I"m really pretty new at using wildcards at all and a lot of what I've already researched doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Any help is greatly appreciated

A: Can be done in PowerShell:
dir C:\temp\DB-backup* | foreach { copy C:\temp\version.txt $_ }

and then delete the source (since you want to 'move' it):
del C:\temp\version.txt

A: Short answer: No.  :)
Long answer: What you're trying to do is a little vague, because it is unclear if there are other folders with the same naming convention. So here is one solution, which finds the most recently created folder that matches the naming convention "DB-backup(somestuffafter)"
mv version.txt (Get-ChildItem -path C:\temp\checkdirs | where {$_.Name -match "DB-backup(.*)"} | sort -property creationtime -descending | select name -first 1).name

Yes, that's a little much for a one-liner, so let's unpack it a bit:
(                                                  # parens to capture the object
Get-ChildItem -path C:\temp\checkdirs -Directory | # get list of directories
where {$_.Name -match "DB-backup(.*)"} |           # that MATCH the naming convention
sort -property creationtime -descending |          # reverse sort by creationtime
select name -first 1                               # select the first one in the list
).name                                             # then we only want the value of 'name'

The MATCH can obviously be much more complex, and handled with regex.  This solves the problem if you're only looking to isolate by the creationtime property.
But if you want to sort on partial text of the actual filename, that will likely require a capture, save capture and filename to hash, then sort the hash by the capture, but use the filename.  Please give more specifics if that is your question.  :)

A: In Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) wildcard can only be used in the last element of a path.
To work around that you could first use a for /D loop to resolve the parent directory path and then build the final file path, like this:
for /D %I in ("C:\temp\DB-backup*") do move "C:\temp\version.txt" "%~I\version.txt"

Note that this would try to move the text file multiple times if there are more than one directories matching the pattern DB-backup*, but it would fail, of course, because the file has already been removed from the source location. If this could happen you could copy the file instead and delete it afterwards:
set "ERR=" & (for /D %I in ("C:\temp\DB-backup*") do copy "C:\temp\version.txt" "%~I\version.txt" & if ErrorLevel 1 set "ERR=#") & if not defined ERR del "C:\temp\version.txt"

The if ErrorLevel 1 check checks if copying succeeded and sets a flag-like variable ERR if not; so the following command only executes only in case all the preceding ones succeeded. This means if at least one copy action fails the source file is not deleted.
To use the above code fragments in a batch file, make sure to double the %-signs of the for /D variable %I.

I've seen this page getting increased traffic recently, so I've updated it to include extra information I have about the Notes, Photos, and Calendars format, and I've released my improved backup information extractor tool.
I was recently exploring ways to "archive" content from iOS backups (mainly message transcripts) in an easily readable format. In order to accomplish this, I first started looking in the backups folder, which is located in. ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ on macOS.
As it turns out, these backups are a treasure trove of information about almost every aspect of your iOS device, and they're unencrypted by default. So even if you've got a fancy passcode on your phone, every time you sync with your computer, all of your data is stored unencrypted on your hard disk for anyone to see and use. I've found a few interesting things to note of so far, one of which appears to be a glich in iOS notes which causes notes some old iOS notes to be retained even though they are deleted. Additionally, the Photos library kindly stores location data in an sql database that we can query!
Note: This page / project are a work in progress, and these are mostly notes to myself. I'm publishing them to help others if they're looking to do something with iOS backups. Regardless, use this info at your own risk..
Is it a full backup?
You should be able to use this index to retrive specific files of your choosing from the backup.
Appears to be included in only v3.2 backups.
Certain files in the manifest sometimes don't actually exist in the backup.
flags INTEGER Unix file flags?
Empty in my backups, seems like a place to store file metadata.
We can use the Status.plist > Version to find out the structure of the rest of the backup.
Backup Files are seperated into folders based on the first two characters in the filename. (I'm assuming this is for preformance especially for looking up files when there's thousands in a single directory).
on macOS you can explore these files using the sqlite3 command.
is_from_me - boolean flag, did I send it?
There are many more flags attached to message records, such as read states, etc.
display_name - The display name. For group chats, if you name them, it is stored here.
properties a binary plist formatted blob that contains information about the chat, such as time last used.
The purpose of this table is to link the rowids of chats and the messages inside of them.
ROWID - the id of the handle, used in the messages.handle_id field.
This database is stored under the file "AddressBook.sqlitedb": 31bb7ba8914766d4ba40d6dfb6113c8b614be442. It is a little more complicated, with data structures pointing from an ABPerson record to tables with entries for phone numbers, etc. But using a structure like that doesn't seem very easy to search. I then encountered a few tables such as ABPersonFullTextSearch_content which seem to contain indexes of all of the data for easy search.
The ABPersonFullTextSearch_content table contains columns for each type of data the contact can contain, such as phones, emails, etc. We can use this to search contacts in the backup based on data. It contains columns like c16Phone and c17Email. The numbering of the columns depends on the version.
// if it's 11 digits, and the first one is a `1`, we can strip it because it's USA's country code.
-- This changes for other versions as numbering of columns changes.
-- See the ABPersonFullTextSearch_content Fields section.
Stores information about phone calls, including metadata.
Contains voicemail entries. We can actually pull the recordings from the backups!
-- These datestamps are not 2001-relative.
Also, if you query the Manifest.db file, if it's iOS10+ and you can retrive the actual voicemail files.
# List voicemails and saved files.
# Or, We can optionally dump the files to disk!
ibackuptool -b <UDID> --report voicemail-files --export .
This information is from an iOS 11 backup.
See Notes for the newer format.
It appears to be a database from an iOS upgrade containing notes that no longer exist but the database was not deleted and (appears to) be no longer used.
Most of the interesting data is in the ZNOTE and ZNOTEBODY tables.
Many of the notes contained in the tables here no longer exist, and haven't for some time (2014). Also, new notes I added would not show up here, indicating that there may be a new database for iOS's upgraded notes. This may be useful since the notes appear to be not deletable by the user. In fact, the user probably doesn't know there's copies of these notes still around.
Notes also appear to be stored as HTML documents, which is kind of neat. You can view the all the note contents using the following query.
-- There's a lot more information here than previous versions.
ZCREATIONDATE TIMESTAMP, -- Legacy creation?
ZMODIFIEDDATE TIMESTAMP, -- Legacy modified?
ZTITLE VARCHAR, -- Legacy Title?
ZTITLE2 VARCHAR,  -- Another title, seems to be related to folders.
There's a LOT of information here, including easily queryable location data & timestamps.
The most interesting one I've seen so far is the ZGENERICASSET table. It stores a lot of information about each photo, including location information.
We can also collect all of the wifi locations and their last accessed time. Combined with open source data on WiFi access point locations, we can obtain a location history for recent visits to locations.
lastJoined - Last time the user manually joined the network.
lastAutoJoined - Last time the device automatically connected. We could use this to place a phone at a specific location/timestamp even if the phone simply went near the access point.
SecurityMode - Is there security enabled?
HIDDEN_NETWORK - Is it hidden?
networkKnownBSSListKey - For enterprise/multi-ap networks, the phone maintains a list of all access points that have been connected.
lastRoamed - The last time the AP was connected.
DISCLAIMER: This tool enables the extraction of personal information from iPhone backups located on a computer drive. The tool is for testing purposes and should ONLY be used on iPhone backups where the owner's consent has been given. Do not use this tool for illegal purposes, ever.
The project contributors and Richard Infante will not be held responsible in the event any criminal charges be brought against any individuals misusing this tool and/or the information contained within, to break the law.
2017-12-05 - Updated additional info about iOS 11 backup format and add notes about Calendars, Notes, Photos format.

Pullman does that to a person: A reflection on becoming a Coug
Wazzu gets in your blood.
By Steven Ayers Oct 13, 2021, 1:37pm PDT
Jack Ellis/CougCenter
Share All sharing options for: Pullman does that to a person: A reflection on becoming a Coug
Wazzu gets in your blood. When my wife first came to Pullman, she spent her first Apple Cup in a café downtown studying and was confused by the unusually large number of parked cars compared to the unusually small number of people downtown. (I'm being kind here — she was alone.) Four years later, she only pronounced the word "Huskies" with an f, and to this day, she takes Coug losses harder than I do.
Pullman does that to a person.
I grew up singing the Cougar fight song in a knee-length Ryan Leaf jersey in my sixth-grade classroom, hitching rides to home games from my … let's go with "enthusiastic" uncle (he had a not-insignificant run as a recurring villain on Softy's radio show, so I'm not kidding here). I'd talk with my cousin about the two of us playing up front for the Cougs; we were big guys and fantasy can only go so far, so even at 11, it was offensive line or bust for us.
Family does that to a person.
I've spent all but six years of my life living in Bellingham. Those six include four in Pullman and one at WSU Spokane, believe it or not. I'm not alone here in B-town, Coug wise, but most of the time I'm close enough. When I see a hat or sweatshirt with the best logo in sports on it, I say "Go Cougs," and they say "Go Cougs," and my day is a little better. In college, I had a friend tell me that same thing happened to his dad once riding around in a boat in Fiji, and every fall Saturday, College Gameday serves as an intermediary for Cougs everywhere to remember each other, and as a platform to tell the whole world the same damn thing. Go Cougs.
It's amazing how a place can become so much more than that.
Sometimes fantasy isn't so fantastic. On August 30, 2008, I started my first game for the WSU Cougars. I was a redshirt freshman and I played left tackle. In hindsight it was probably the best game I ever played. I didn't end up being very good. Typically, we would lose by at least five scores, I would get my nose rubbed in my bad play during film on Sunday, demoted on Monday, and then watch the exact same thing happen to my replacement over the next six days. Then the next Monday I would be promoted to starter again. Rinse, repeat, and order another round.
I started around half the games WSU played in '08 and '09. It ground me down, beat me down, and, well … this is really more of a three-drink conversation so let's move on.
Impossible situations do that to people.
If all that sounds like an excuse to you, I won't blame you. It's taken a decade of neurosis, therapy, and my own coaching career (at the high school level) to convince myself that it's more of an explanation than an excuse; so, no worries if you need a bit more time to reach the same conclusion. I'm sure it's not shocking to anyone that playing losing football isn't fun and someone who played during the '08 and '09 seasons wasn't very good. I maintain that barring my career ending concussion in the spring of 2010 I would have been alright my junior and senior year, but ifs and buts ya know?
When I finally left Pullman in the spring of 2011, I wanted to put college football behind me, but I never once wanted to put WSU behind me. The idea never even occurred to me. I met my wife at WSU. I made friends at WSU. More importantly I learned how to be a friend at WSU. Hell, I even did grad school at WSU Spokane! When I sang the fight song in sixth grade, I cheered for the Cougs. When I sang the fight song in 2011 I was a Coug, even if sometimes I just mumbled it. That had nothing to do with playing football. I could leave football behind; I would never leave WSU behind. There is no leaving behind something you are.
That is what Washington State University does to a person.
The good times and the tough times, the newbies and the vets, criticism and devotion, the best of myself and the worst.
That is what being a Coug means to me.

U.S. troops raided the KDP offices in Kirkuk Saturday night, seizing AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. The Americans also arrested a senior KDP leader. A PUK office also was raided.
The raids are connected to the "recent ethnic violence":http://www.back-to-iraq.com/archives/000637.php between Turkmen, Arabs and Kurds in Kirkuk that has left almost 20 people dead since "August":http://www.back-to-iraq.com/archives/000445.php#000445. Six have been killed since last week.
"We are disappointed by this," said Mohammad Sabir, chief PUK representative in Washington when I contacted him this afternoon. "We are very close to the U.S. but I don't know [the reason for] the raid. Maybe some Turkmen or Arabs gave them information that the PUK had many weapons. I don't know, really."
He added that the PUK was working to clear up any misunderstanding.
The KDP representative in D.C., Farhad Barzani, said he knew nothing about the raid and couldn't comment.
The "Kurdistan Democratic Party":http://www.kdp.pp.se/ and the "Patriotic Union of Kurdistan":http://www.puk.org are the two main Kurdish parties in Iraq and have been pushing for a federal system guaranteeing Kurds "significant autonomy":http://www.back-to-iraq.com/archives/000046.php#000046 since last year. Arabs, Turkmen and surrounding countries have all expressed alarm and displeasure over the idea of significant Kurdish autonomy.

Veterans Day was established to honor servicemen (and now service-women) who had enlisted or were drafted into the armed forces. The day, however, was not always called Veterans Day; its original name was Armistice Day, and it was created following World War I to honor those veterans who had served in the "War to End All Wars."

Taking a trip through Stroudsburg history

The door of George Yeisley's cabin was open to provide more light. Amy Leiser, dressed a bit formally in a long floral-print dress and bonnet, needed the light to read to the children gathered at her feet. They listened intently as she read them books about Paul Revere's midnight ride and George Washington's teeth. It was a beautiful day in a setting straight out of 1795, yet it was only last week.

Our grants and grant recommendations generally range from $5,000 - $50,000 for a one year period. Occasionally, the Foundation's officers may authorize smaller grants.
The Barney Family Foundation's primary focus is in the educational field, particularly children in grades K-8. The Barney Family Foundation places significant emphasis on giving children the opportunity for a better education. We want to be convinced that a project we fund will lead, over time, to significant improvement in children's life experiences and as such, favor proposals that describe a plausible and practical chain of events leading to tangible results for children. From organizations that work directly with children and families, to teachers and other frontline workers, we look for fairly simple, original ideas embedded with a strong plan for their implementation. We expect strategic impact from organizations engaged in research, policy analysis, advocacy, or other work that does not touch children directly.
Our proposal meets your objectives, but we are looking for a grant larger than that which you would normally fund. Should we contact you?
Yes, please. We will attempt to partner, when possible, with other funders in order to consider larger proposals. Even when we can't make a contribution, we like to stay abreast of key work in the field. We may be able to support a piece of the project or provide funds for a planning or pilot stage.
My family needs support. Can you help us?
The Foundation does not make gifts to individuals or individual families. We suggest you seek help through your local childcare center, school, or family support program. Alternately you may wish to contact your local community foundation or United Way for lists of agencies that may be able to help.
Our center has developed an innovative program that we would like to expand. Should we look to you for funding? If not, what would you recommend?
We would love to hear about your program, although we don't generally fund local direct service projects. A local bank or corporation that markets to families, a family foundation or health foundation that focuses on your geographic area, or a community foundation would be a more likely funder. The Council on Foundations' website provides links to community foundations and to Regional Associations of Grantmakers, who can give you lists of local funders.

Sec. 2(m), Wealth Tax Act
Bombay H.C : Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the deduction on account of debt owed for the purpose of determining the net wealth as claimed by the assessee should be reduced by the investment made in Capital Investment Bonds
Posted on January 22, 2009 August 23, 2019 by Avijit Das
High Court Of Bombay
Miss Deanna J. Jeejeebhoy vs. Wealth Tax Officer
Section WT 2(m)
Asst. Year 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89
F.I. Rebello & R.S. Mohite, JJ.
WT Ref. No. 25 of 1997
Counsel Appeared :
Neeraj Shah with Rajesh Shah, for the Applicant : P.S. Sahadevan with Mrs. Anuradha More, for the Respondent
R.S. Mohite, J. :
The two questions of law which have been referred for our opinion under s. 27(1) of the WT Act, are as follows :
"1. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the deduction on account of debt owed for the purpose of determining the net wealth as claimed by the assessee should be reduced by the investment made in Capital Investment Bonds ?
2. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the Tribunal was justified in law in holding that although the debt owed was incurred in relation to a property which was chargeable to wealth-tax, the full amount of the debt could not be allowed as a full deduction because of the investment made by the assessee in an asset exempt from wealth-tax ?"
2. The facts on the background of which the two questions of law arise are as follows : (a) The three applicants are sisters. Along with their mother each of them owned 1/4th share in a building named as 'Sett Minar, situated at Dr. Gopalrao Deshmukh Marg, Bombay. In 1982, the property was given on leave and licence basis by the owners to the Indo Suez Bank. Under the licence agreement, in addition to the licence fees, the owners obtained a refundable deposit of Rs. 35 lakhs. After the licence agreement came to an end it was renewed in January 1987 and the refundable deposit amount was increased from Rs. 35 lakhs to Rs. 43,75,000. When the applicants filed their WT returns, they claimed their 1/4th share in the deposit as debt owed and sought to deduct it in the computation of their individual net wealth. Accordingly, each of them sought to deduct a sum of Rs. 8,75,000 in each of the two asst. yrs. 1986-87 and 1987-88 and a sum of Rs. 10,93,750 in the asst. yr. 1988-89. In all these WT returns, the immovable property in question was valued under r. 1BB and under that provision the value arrived at was Rs. 90,540. (b) Out of the deposit money the three applicants had invested a part of the amount in Capital Investment Bonds which were exempted from wealth-tax. The WTO allowed a deduction for the debt owed only to the extent of Rs. 90,540. He observed that the value of the property was exempted under s. 5(1A). He also referred to the investment made by the assessee in Capital Investment Bonds which were exempted from wealth-tax. (c) In the appeal to the CWT(A), the WTO's action of allowing only a partial deduction for the debt owed was challenged. The CWT(A) accepted the contentions of the applicants and directed allowance of the full amount of the debt owed as claimed. (d) The Revenue appealed to the Tribunal and the Tribunal partly allowed the appeal and directed that the debt owed as claimed should be allowed after reducing therefrom the amount invested in Capital Investment Bonds. The applicants thereafter made an application for reference and in such circumstances, the aforesaid two questions have been referred to this Court for consideration.
We find that all throughout, there has been no dispute that the immovable property in question has been treated as property in respect of which wealth-tax was chargeable. In fact, the applicants had valued this immovable property under r. 1BB of the WT Rules and this valuation was accepted. Under s. 2(m) of the WT Act, the term "net wealth" is defined as under : "'net wealth' means the amount by which the aggregate value computed in accordance with the provisions of this Act of all the assets, wherever located, belonging to the assessee on the valuation date, including assets required to be included in his net wealth as on that date under this Act, is in excess of the aggregate value of all the debts owned by the assessee on the valuation date other than— (i) debts which under s. 6 are not to be taken into account; (ii) debts which are secured on, or which have been incurred in relation to any property in respect of which wealth-tax is not chargeable under this Act; and (iii) the amount of the tax, penalty or interest payable in consequence of any order passed under or in pursuance of this Act or any law relating to taxation of income or profits or the Estate Duty Act, 1953 (34 of 1953), the Expenditure-tax Act, 1957 (29 of 1957), or the GT Act, 1958 (18 of 1958), (a) which is outstanding on the valuation date and is claimed by the assessee in appeal, revision or other proceeding as not being payable by him; or (b) which, although not claimed by the assessee as not being payable by him, is nevertheless outstanding for a period of more than twelve months on the valuation date; Explanation—A building or part thereof referred to in cl. (iii), cl. (iiia) or cl. (iiib) of s. 27 of the IT Act shall be includible in the net wealth of the person who is deemed under the said clause to be the owner of that building or part thereof;"
5. Counsel for the applicant relied upon a judgment of this Court in the case of Bishweshwarilal Chirawala vs. CWT (1991) 187 ITR 118 (Bom). The facts of the said case were however different. In that case a loan was obtained by the assessee against the pledge of gold bonds which were not chargeable to wealth-tax. It was held that the loan was not deductible in computing net wealth. This finding was based on the footing that the debt was a specified non-deductible debt covered by s. 2(m)(ii). Advocate for the assessee also relied upon the judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in the case of CWT vs. Narayandas J. Hemani (1983) 143 ITR 87 (MP). In that case also the loans were obtained against insurance policies which were exempted from income-tax (sic- wealthtax). On the same principle it was held that such a loan was not deductible in computing net wealth as the debt was a specified non-deductible debt. In our view, the aforesaid two judgments cited have no bearing or relevance for deciding the questions of issue.
6. It is seen from the said definition that the net wealth is to be calculated by deducting all the debts from the assets, excepting the three kinds of debts which are specified in (i), (ii) and (iii). Once it is accepted that the security deposit taken by the applicants was a debt in respect of property which was chargeable to wealth-tax then the said security deposit could not amount to a debt covered by s. 2(m)(ii). Merely because a part of the amount obtained by the applicants was invested in Capital Investment Bonds which were not chargeable to wealth-tax, that by itself does not change the nature of the debt. We find no provision in the WT Act where a debt secured on or incurred in relation to property in respect of which wealth-tax is chargeable ceases to be a debt or changes its character into one of a non-deductible debt merely because it is invested in an instrument which is not chargeable to income-tax (sic-wealth-tax). Holding otherwise will amount to creating one more category of debt in addition to the three categories contemplated by s. 2(m) (as it then stood) which are not to be deducted from the net assets while arriving at net wealth of the assessee. This being the position, we answer both the questions in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee. Reference stands disposed of.
This entry was posted in Sec. 2(m), Wealth Tax Act and tagged 330 ITR, Bombay High Court, In favour of Assessee.
Bombay H.C : Whether in view of facts and circumstances of the case the Hon'ble Tribunal is justified in allowing the interest on the borrowed fund under s. 36(1)(iii) of the IT Act, 1961, when the share of the group company which was acquired was not shown as stock-in-trade but as investment ?

XKX were asked to develop blue prints and to build a life-sized Falcon Cruiser installation for Ultra Con's 2016 event in Doncaster.
The installation includes both external and internal modelling of the famous Star Wars spaceship and is the only replica of its kind in the world.
Built using Wisa ply clad in MDF, we scenically treated all elements to create a realistic aesthetic. The cockpit and corridors feature interactive lights, buttons and toggles to create a Star Wars experience like no other.
XKX developed designs & built a 3m high padded tube for GTMS and Pringles. The 'View Tube' featured face to face offset seating, multi-media and appliances.
The seats' ergonomic tube design carried the theme into the interior.
The freestanding unit also contained a built in DVD player, two LED screens and a bottle fridge.
XKX were given 4 and a half weeks to manufacture and install a temporary roof terrace on the 5th floor of the IET building, Savoy Place in London.
We worked with 3 structural engineers (WRG, West Minster and IET) and designed the steel structure considering point loads, wind load and even the London underground.
The project for WRG included an infinity pool, canopy, water feature, viewing platform, 6m spiral staircase and handrails. XKX also removed a skylight and installed a lift.
XKX designed and manufactures fully automated trailers with fold out ceilings and self leveling mechanisms.
All functions can be controlled via a hand held tablet for ease and practicality.
A large LED screen and four custom-fit touch monitors allow consumers to experience and engage in the JLR activations.
XKX were asked to design the machanics for two robotic arms for agency, Just Communicate.
The machanics enabled both huge arms to move when operated for a central control panel. The arms were showcased at an exhibition in Austia for pharmaceutical brand Biogen.

Q: Unable to go from tf.keras model -> quantized frozen graph -> .tflite with TOCO I am new to all of these tools. I'm trying to get started with using Tensorflow Lite to ultimately run my own deep learning models on the Coral Edge TPU.
I have built a toy XOR network with the Keras API, written out the tensorflow graph, and frozen it. Now I'm trying to use TOCO to convert the frozen model to tflite format. I'm getting the following error:

ValueError: Input 0 of node dense_1/weights_quant/AssignMinLast was passed float from dense_1/weights_quant/min:0 incompatible with expected float_ref.

I have seen others talking about similar errors on github but I have not been able to find a solution.
Full code below:
training_data = np.array([[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]], "uint8")
target_data = np.array([[0],[1],[1],[0]], "uint8")

model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(16, input_dim=2, use_bias=False, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dense(1, use_bias=False, activation='sigmoid'))

session = tf.keras.backend.get_session()
tf.contrib.quantize.create_training_graph(session.graph)
session.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

model.compile(loss='mean_squared_error',
              optimizer='adam',
              metrics=['binary_accuracy'])

model.fit(training_data, target_data, nb_epoch=1000, verbose=2)
print model.predict(training_data).round()
model.summary()

saver = tf.train.Saver()
saver.save(keras.backend.get_session(), 'xor-keras.ckpt')

tf.io.write_graph(session.graph, '.', 'xor-keras.pb')

Then freeze the model:
python freeze_graph.py \
  --input_graph='xor-keras.pb' \
  --input_checkpoint='xor-keras.ckpt' \
  --output_graph='xor-keras-frozen.pb' \
  --output_node_name='dense_2/Sigmoid'

Then calling toco like this:
toco \
  --graph_def_file=xor-keras-frozen.pb \
  --output_file=xor-keras-frozen.tflite \
  --input_shapes=1,2 \
  --input_arrays='dense_1_input' \
  --output_arrays='dense_2/Sigmoid' \
  --inference_type=QUANTIZED_UINT8

Here is the full output from TOCO:

A: I solved my own problem. It turns out that the "training graph" is not convertible to TFLite but the "eval graph" is. Saving the graph from the training session produces the incorrect input.
It seems to me that the freeze_graph script should be smart enough to handle this but alas, it isn't.
Code to produce the proper input to TOCO is below.
# <Load the model into a new session>

session = tf.keras.backend.get_session()

saver = tf.train.Saver()
saver.restore(session, 'xor-keras.ckpt')

tf.contrib.quantize.create_eval_graph(session.graph)

tf.io.write_graph(session.graph, '.', 'xor-keras-eval.pb', as_text=False)

Madurai: The Blue Whale Challenge has claimed its first victim in Tamil Nadu in a 19-year-old college student, who hanged himself at his house, police said today.
Vigesh in a suicide note wrote "the game was a devastating one… once you enter it, you would not be able to come out", they said.
In another incident in the southern part of the state, a school student in Tirunelveli hurt himself reportedly after playing the social media "game" which has been linked to teenage deaths in several countries.
Vignesh reportedly hanged himself at his house yesterday when his parents were at work.
His devastated father Jayamani, who works at a bakery, said he was not aware that his son was "so serious" about the online game.
"I thought it was like boys playing on the street. But my son died due to the cruel game," he said.
He appealed to the youngsters "not to be maniacal about video games".
Jayamani also wanted the creator of the Blue Whale challenge to be identified and booked on murder charges.
He demanded that the central and state governments ban the game.
A police official told PTI that Vignesh had drawn a picture of blue whale on his hand with a ball pen.
In the suicide note, he wanted parents to keep a watch on their children so that they do not get involved in such online games.
The official said police had already asked computer centres to keep a watch on those playing online games.
The cyber police has been alerted about deadly online games and asked to keep a close watch on the Blue Whale challenge, the official added.
Meanwhile, a 15-year-old school student in Tirunelveli, hurt himself allegedly after playing the game, which involves a number of tasks which have to be completed by the player in 50 days.
The game ends in the person taking their own life.
Police said the boy had "harmed himself with a knife" and suffered burn injuries. He has been hospitalized.


Divorce is not a topic one might expect to see in a real estate blog. However, many couples do own property and might be looking to dispose of some of it, or rearrange ownership after parting company. A real estate law firm might be the right place to look for help in Toronto and the GTA.
Dividing assets is a complicated and emotional affair. Unlike furniture, or other household goods, however, one cannot pack up and walk away with a house. When two people cannot agree on who should keep the house, they may choose to sell it, instead, and split the proceeds.
If the parties can't agree on what to do with it, they may not agree on a real estate agent, either. Should that be the case, they can opt to each use their own agent, assuming agents can be found who will agree to share the job.
As can easily be imagined, the entire process can become complicated. When there are a lot of cooks in the proverbial kitchen, the registrar of the Real Estate Council of Ontario suggests hiring a real estate lawyer to help keep all legal matters in order. A lawyer who focuses on real estate law can ensure one's rights and interests are protected.
When it involves divorce, matters related to real estate law have the potential to become complex. When a person is selling real estate or making a transfer of ownership during a divorce, he or she may face a myriad of different issues that need to be addressed with care. Having an experienced lawyer to handle the legal aspects might make a difficult time a lot easier to navigate.
