In London to honour his son at a communal dinner hosted by the Centre for Jewish Life, Rabbi Hattab is speaking to the British media for the first time since the Paris attacks.
Having appeared already on French and Tunisian television, Hattab has been a powerful ambassador for reconciliation and interfaith dialogue.
But when it comes to the spectre of rising European anti-Semitism, what we believe and what we want to believe can be two very different things.
The tragic irony of this latest attack on Paris' Jews is not lost on him. Having left an Islamic country for the land of liberté, egalité and fraternité, his son met his end at the hands of a French-born Islamist.
For Hattab, it is the cultural and religious exclusion felt by Arabs living in the West that is chiefly to blame for the fractious ideological landscape that serves as fertile ground for home-grown jihadists. Radicalised Arabs aren't 'chez eux', at home in the West, whereas, he says, in Tunisia "we live together, we have a shared history. There are no problems between Jews and Arabs. I myself am an Arab".
There are an estimated 2,000 Jews living in Tunisia today – that's just two percent of the 100,000 strong community at the outbreak of the Second World War.
As Chief Rabbi of a diminished Jewish population in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, Hattab is as skilled a diplomat as he is a scholar. His measured delivery and broken voice betray a still-raw grief. Yet his message for the Tunisian government that "protects our synagogue, our school" is one of gratitude.
He is as much an 'Arab Jew', as the European Jews are 'European Jews'.
I know what he is trying to say, and sadly he is wrong. Better to remember your own identity, however unpopular it may be, because even if you choose to 'forget' it, then there will always be those that will be happy to remind you that you are Jewish first and foremost.


Jack Fincham finally meets Danny Dyer as Love Island queen Dani turns 22.
Dani Dyer is absolutely living her best life right now. She won the nation's heart, Essex pen salesman Jack Fincham's heart and £50k after appearing on Love Island. A glittering TV career looks like a certainty as she's even been rumoured to be joining the Loose Women panel and to top it all off she just turned 22.
Dani kicked off her birthday celebrations with a serenade from boyfriend Jack as she left his home in the morning for a busy day of work.
In the evening, it was finally time for Jack to meet the parents - Danny Dyer and Joanne Mas - in person as Dani's mum and dad threw her a family party in their garden.
Aww! It looks like 22 is going to be a good year for Dani!

Q: How to copy folders from blob storage? The functionality I am trying to implement is copy paste files/folders from one source to another(same container). Can I use same method to copy folders like I do for copy files?
startcopyblob() throws error while copy pasting folders.

A: Azure blob storage has a 2 level hierarchy - blob container and blob. It is based on a flat storage scheme, not a hierarchical scheme. It does not have a directory structure.   We just can specify a character or string delimiter within a blob name to create a virtual hierarchy. So if we want to copy one folder with azure node blob sdk, we need to copy blobs in the folder one by one.
For example
sdk
npm i @azure/storage-blob

code
const {
  BlobServiceClient,
  StorageSharedKeyCredential,
  generateBlobSASQueryParameters,
  ContainerSASPermissions,
} = require("@azure/storage-blob");

const accountName = "andyprivate";
const accountKey =
  "";
const creds = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);
const blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(
  `https://${accountName}.blob.core.windows.net`,
  creds
);
async function test() {
  try {
    const sourceContainerClient = blobServiceClient.getContainerClient("input");
    const desContainerClient = blobServiceClient.getContainerClient("output");
    const blobSAS = generateBlobSASQueryParameters(
      {
        expiresOn: new Date(new Date().valueOf() + 86400000),
        containerName: sourceContainerClient.containerName,
        permissions: ContainerSASPermissions.parse("rl"),
      },
      creds
    ).toString();
    for await (const response of sourceContainerClient
      .listBlobsFlat({ prefix: "<your folder name>/" })
      .byPage()) {
      for (const blob of response.segment.blobItems) {
        console.log(`Blob name : ${blob.name}`);
        const sourceBlob = sourceContainerClient.getBlobClient(blob.name);
        const sourceUrl = sourceBlob.url + "?" + blobSAS;
        const res = await (
          await desContainerClient
            .getBlobClient(blob.name)
            .beginCopyFromURL(sourceUrl)
        ).pollUntilDone();

        console.log(res.copyStatus);
      }
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}
test();

Besides, if you want to directly copy one folder from one container from another container, we can use azcopy implement it. For more details,  please refer to here and here
For example
npm i @azure/storage-blob @azure-tools/azcopy-node @azure-tools/azcopy-<your system win32 linux win64>

code
const {
  StorageSharedKeyCredential,
  generateAccountSASQueryParameters,
  AccountSASPermissions,
  AccountSASResourceTypes,
  AccountSASServices,
} = require("@azure/storage-blob");

const accountName = "andyprivate";
const accountKey =
  "";
const creds = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);
//create account sas token
const accountSas = generateAccountSASQueryParameters(
  {
    startsOn: new Date(new Date().valueOf() - 8640),
    expiresOn: new Date(new Date().valueOf() + 86400000),
    resourceTypes: AccountSASResourceTypes.parse("sco").toString(),
    permissions: AccountSASPermissions.parse("rwdlacup").toString(),
    services: AccountSASServices.parse("b").toString(),
  },
  creds
).toString();
const { AzCopyClient } = require("@azure-tools/azcopy-node");
let copyClient = new AzCopyClient();

async function copy() {

  try {
    let jobId = await copyClient.copy(
      {
        type: "RemoteSas",
        resourceUri: "https://<>.blob.core.windows.net/input",
        sasToken: accountSas,
        path: "/<folder name>",
      },
      {
        type: "RemoteSas",
        resourceUri: "https://<>.blob.core.windows.net/outcontainer",
        sasToken: accountSas,
        path: "",
      },
      { recursive: true }
    );
    let status;
    while (!status || status.StatusType !== "EndOfJob") {
      let jobInfo = await copyClient.getJobInfo(jobId);
      status = jobInfo.latestStatus;
      await new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
    }
    console.log("OK");

What Program do I need to attend (Level I or Level II)?
Your history of DUI/DWI arrests, circumstances of current arrest (blood alcohol, etc.) and your score when you completed a chemical health evaluation [Rule 25] will determine which program you are required to attend per your probation requirements.
Do we read in class?
Reading is not mandatory, participation is required during class discussions also your class attendance and completion of assignments are required.
Class attendance is mandatory. Sometimes emergency's may happen which would keep you from attending a class. A phone call and inform the instructor as soon as possible and inform him/her of your absence. All missed classes must be signed and approved by your instructor. Missed classes must be made up and unexcused absence(s) can effect your status and may result in grounds for dismissal from the program. Dismissal from the program will have a negative effect on your probation.
Can I come to multiple classes a week?
You will not be able to take more than one class a week. The Driving With Care curriculum has been developed for students to complete the program going though the book 1 chapter at a time. This will give the student time to process information learned that week.

Q: Why is an empty string '' encoded into 2 bytes in utf-16 but 0 bytes in utf-8 or ascii? I was just learning about encoding strings in python and after fidgeting with it a little, I got confused by the fact that the size of an empty string ('') is 0 in utf 8 and ascii but somehow 2 in utf 16? how come?
print(len(''.encode('utf16'))) # is 2
print(len(''.encode('utf8'))) # is 0

I guess a big part of the problem is that I don't understand how utf 16 works. I don't understand why encoding 'spam' in utf 16 would be 10 bytes long instead of just 8 bytes (2 bytes (16 bits) for each character). I'm assuming that the 2 bytes are needed in utf 16 as default for any string for padding or something?
*edit
I am NOT confused about the basics of how UTF 8 or UTF 16 work and differ in storing each individual characters. I am confused about how the absence of any characters (an empty string) would be stored in 2 bytes in UTF 16 but have 0 bytes in UTF 8. (as opposed to 1 byte or 0 for both)
The link does not provide answer to my question.

A: By default, Python includes a Byte Order Mark when encoding to UTF-16, but not when encoding to UTF-8.
>>> ''.encode('utf16')
b'\xff\xfe'
>>> ''.encode('utf8')
b''

You can suppress the BOM by explicitly specifying the byte order with a BE (Big-Endian) or LE (Little-Endian) suffix.
>>> ''.encode('utf-16-le')
b''

I am a conservative Christian woman, and I am glad that our governor has accepted Christ into his life. But I feel there are things that have not been revealed to him, such as the plight of the working poor.
My husband works. He works hard. Because of my health, we buy insurance through his employer. But it is very expensive for us.
We have hoped to find a more affordable alternative soon. But that is looking more doubtful, as there is little indication that our leaders care about that. I fear we will be forced to give up our insurance in order to make ends meet.
We are not ignorant people. We are educated, but our income is low. We are not disabled, and in spite of our low income, we are not eligible for medical insurance assistance.

Women in Translation Month: Violence Against Women Is Not an Afterthought
August 25, 2021 · by smilkova · in Women in Translation · Leave a comment
Trigger warning for rape, sexual violence, femicide, and gender-based violence.
Although it has been more than two years since its publication, I am regularly given a reason to revisit "A Stench That Won't Subside," an article on sexual violence by Kosovo-Canadian lawyer Hana Marku. Marku wrote this piece in February 2019, as Kosovo and Albanian women were reeling with the contemporaneous revelation that in each country, an underage girl had been blackmailed and raped for months at a time. The perpetrators and collaborators included teachers, doctors, policemen, and boys as young as 13.
There had been so many revelations before, and dozens more since. But February 2019 still haunts me. There is something about the overwhelming extent of the institutional failures that enabled the perpetrators to inflict their violence unimpeded for months, exacerbated by the knowledge that so many of the rapists were teenage boys—children basically—that floors me. It made me feel truly, inescapably hopeless.
I return to Marku's article because she speaks to the righteous anger in me. But also, because Marku is unapologetic and incisive in her assessment of how violence against women works. From the very first paragraphs, she makes it clear that male violence against women is not an afterthought. It is not an accident, it doesn't really come from a lack of knowledge; it is not an unfortunate mistake. Violence against women is conscious and systemic, and it is upheld not only by the perpetrators themselves, but also by the silence and complicity of those who don't care enough to hold the men in their life accountable.
I thought a lot about this article and the deliberate nature of rape as I read Shiori Ito's Black Box, translated from the Japanese by Allison Markin Powell. In Black Box, Ito recounts her own rape and her attempt to find justice in the hostile labyrinth represented by the Japanese legal system. She does so with a level of clarity and empathy that reminds me of this double bind that survivors of sexual assault often find themselves in: be "too calm," and people will say what happened to you couldn't possibly be that bad. Or be "too emotional," and you can't be considered a reliable witness to your own experience.
In a book that is full of moments of pain, anger, and vulnerability, there is one particular line that stuck with me. Ito was raped by Noriyuki Yamaguchi, a prominent media figure in Japan with ties to Prime Miner Shinzo Abe. Powerful and connected, Yamaguchi had promised to assist Ito's budding career as an international journalist. Instead, he took her to dinner under false pretenses, possibly spiked her drink, and raped her while she was unconscious. Afterwards, Yamaguchi tells a hurt and bewildered Ito, "Before, you seemed like a strong, capable woman, but now you're like a troubled child. It's adorable."
It's one line, but it condenses an entire philosophy, if we may call misogynistic violence a "philosophy." There is no doubt that sexual violence, and rape in particular, comes partly as a result of men feeling entitled to women's bodies and to sex. But there is also this other aspect to it, the use of rape as a tool to put, or rather to keep, women "in their place." American radical feminists, to whom we owe much of the language and framework that are used today to talk about rape and rape culture, produced a body of work that argued precisely this. That rape, and male-made political and legal institutions, are tools of patriarchal oppression that conspire to limit women's freedom. As Susan Brownmiller controversially argued in Against Our Will, "[rape] is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear."
So much of Ito's experience fits into this pattern. Not just Yamaguchi's words and his behavior, but also the incessant legal hurdles that Ito faced in the aftermath. The lack of information at hospitals and even shelters, investigators not trained to help survivors, reenactments of the rape to establish the "facts," and even the dismissal of the case and arrest warrant issued against Yamaguchi, most probably because of his connections and his reputation. Or, the fact that the Japanese legal system qualified what happened to Ito as "quasi-rape," because she was unconscious during the act. An amalgamation of events and processes that amounted to a "second rape" according to Ito herself.
I called Black Box a memoir, but Ito intended it to be more than that. In tracing step by step her experiences with all these institutions, Ito shares the hope that this book would be useful to women going through the same thing, but also provide a roadmap to bring about institutional change. In this, Black Box reminds me of the writings produced by the women of the 1970s anti-rape movement. These activists organized consciousness raising groups and speak-outs, wrote anti-rape manuals, started ad hoc rape shelters, and lobbied to change laws. These were organized efforts to build solidarity with other women and to speak and write against the silence inflicted by male-made institutions and the narratives men construct to explain away the violence they perpetrate.
The urgency to write, or to tell your side of the story, in order to overcome the paralyzing effect of terror is also the focal point of Cristina Rivera Garza's Grieving, translated by Sarah Booker. In this collection of essays, Rivera Garza traces the roots, consequences, and life in the aftermath of the Mexican "war on drugs" that swept the country from 2006. A war that according to Rivera Garza has done nothing but solidify the hold that cartels have over the government and communities across Mexico. A war that showed the government cared more about profit than its people.
This is a collection that blends the academic with the journalistic and the literary. It features poems that incorporate witness statements by mothers who have lost their children to the "narco state." It sees Rivera Garza use Marx's writings to analyze the relationship between labor and art, speak to taxi drivers, migrants, and anti-femicide activists—and talk about her own losses and experience with grief. Rivera Garza keeps each essay personal, reminding us that if grieving has an object it is never ourselves, but others. Thus, grieving is the consummate communal project. In reminding us of this, Rivera Garza makes of Grieving a manifesto against pretend objectivity, against the debilitating silence imposed by violence so horrific, it is meant to stun us into speechlessness and inaction.
"And where there is suffering, there is voice. Those who suffer have faced horror and come back. The language of pain allows those who suffer, those who acknowledge their suffering and share it with others, to articulate an inexpressible experience as an intrinsic criticism against the sources that made it possible in the first place."
I think an echo of this "language of pain" that Rivera Garza speaks about can also be found in Selva Almada's Dead Girls, translated by Annie McDermot. In this essay that doubles also as an investigation, Almada feverishly tries to solve three cold femicide cases that took place in Argentina in the 1980s: the murder of María Luisa, killed on her way to work; the case of Sarita Mundín who did not return from a trip with her married lover; and the smothering of Andrea Danne in her own bed.
Their stories, and even Almada's own almost inexplicable pull to them, feel familiar. The passion for life, the need to feel loved and even desired, not just squandered by death, but made into the very reasons and justifications for taking a girl's life. And as Almada investigates and writes, more stories of violence come to the surface. A deluge of other murders and rapes, alongside large and small acts of violence and harassment that are meant to curtail women's lives and ambitions. And the common threads between these stories: that the men doing the hurting are usually friends, cousins, or husbands; a sense of shame that stifles dissent and helps violence thrive. And, of course, the financial constraints that force women into exploitative and unsafe arrangements, or even to accept alimony from their sister's potential killer.
There are clear connections between the works of Ito, Rivera Garza, and Almada. Not just the existence of gender-based violence and the parallel structures that ensure the perpetrators remain largely unscathed. But also, this belief in the power of speech and expression. It is a tenet that has underpinned many a social movement, the need to seize control of the narrative, to speak about pain and violence as a measure of agency, control, and even redemption.
As I finish re-writing this, in Kosovo two men brutalized a young woman to death and left her lifeless body on the steps of a hospital, before running away. Albanian media describe it as a crime committed for "weak reasons." I'm assuming that is just a new synonym for "crime of passion." When I began these reviews last week, an Albanian man killed his wife before hanging himself. I have lost count of how many femicides that makes just this year alone. The point is: any given day or week, there are plenty of examples of violence against women to make these books, this problem, feel fresh.
I wish I had an easy conclusion to this piece, other than the fact that violence against women tends to follow an eerily similar script whether it happens in Japan, Argentina, or Albania. And women have been writing about their experiences and against silence for centuries. But I am also wary and conscious of the limits of speaking out. For all the solidarity it may inspire, the need to be "courageous" puts the burden on women to find a solution to a problem we did not create. And I am also aware of the numbing effect of reading about too much violence and pain; of how it shifts the narrative, often raising the bar for what is considered "bad enough." Though I don't think I will ever reach that threshold myself.

Fairfield City Champion's trusted source for property
When Angie Melville - who is the program coordinator for LEAP Robotics at Macquarie University - challenged St Gertrude's Catholic Primary School pupils to enter the recent Rookie Replay Lego League challenge, they jumped at the chance. And the school's first foray into the FIRST Lego league has been a successful one. A group of students from Years 4-6 took up the opportunity and formed a team to promote the 'Gertie Get up and Go' app. Supported by their own teachers and from their network high school Patrician Brother's College, Fairfield, students used their time to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding and design skills to build and move a robot to solve missions on the Lego League Replay playfield. They collaborated on an innovation project, with the theme of 'How to get children moving'. They conceptualised and proposed an interactive game where students physically move around in an online game to score points. Their efforts were rewarded with the robot performance and breakthrough awards. St Gertrude's principal Linda Katisbras said: "Some of these students had never seen, let alone coded or used robotics to push, pull and move lego pieces on the playfield." Mrs Katsibras likened the Lego League core values to those of St Gertrude's. "Discovery, inclusion, innovation, teamwork, impact and fun are all things we promote in our school community," she said. On Thursday, August 12, the students and staff were joined by Prospect MP Hugh McDermott for a virtual awards ceremony. Students spoke about their key learnings from taking part in the challenge and were awarded digital certificates. "It is important during this period of remote learning to continue to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts and achievement of our students and the Zoom provided us an online platform to do this," Mrs Katsibras said.

More than 70 pubs, clubs, community centres and care homes in Leicestershire and Rutland joined a live BBC radio broadcast to Sing Christmas, karaoke-style, on Monday 21 December 2015.
Carol singers in all the different venues joined the live BBC Radio Leicester broadcast by tuning in and singing along. Churches helped their local venues take part and participants got a mention on air by texting BBC Radio Leicester during the broadcast.
Jeff Bonser, one of the team behind Leicester's Sing Christmas (www.singchristmas.org.uk), and HOPE's executive director Roy Crowne are hoping that in 2016, churches across the UK will follow Leicester's lead inviting their local radio station to create a Sing Christmas community broadcast to enable many more people to join in.
Alongside the radio events in 2015, sports clubs and churches used a specially-produced Sing Christmas carols programme published by Tearfund, HOPE and Sports Chaplaincy UK, and introduced by TV adventurer Bear Grylls - available from www.singchristmas.org.
Bear Grylls said: 'For so many of us, Christmas is a magical time of year. A time of peace, of joy, of families and friendship. For Christians though this season though means so much more. The time when we remember the birth of Jesus, when God made his dwelling amongst us.
'It's my faith in Jesus that has so often brought light to a dark path, joy to a cold mountain, strength to a failing body. He has not only been a pointer of the way, but also a backbone, a companion, a friend.
More than 1000 people took part in AFC Bournemouth's Sing Christmas event at the Cherries' ground. At Swansea City players took part in their stadium event reading the Christmas story from the Bible. Sing Christmas at Bolton Wanderers was packed to capacity as local school choirs led the singing. Events have also been held by Bradford Bulls, Ulster Rugby, Newport County, Crew Alexandra, Crawley Town and in hundreds of local churches with thousands of Silent Night programmes being given away to carol singers.
Jeff Bonser used the Sing Christmas programme in Market Harborough, where Churches Together partnered with Harborough District Council for the Christmas Lights Switch-On event in the Town Square. The Sing Christmas programmes were given out to everyone there, and they all sang carols between performances from local school choirs and a school soul band.
HOPE's partner CPO is offering posters, banners and invitations with the 2015 Sing Christmas design available to order here.

Q: File name (title) of the document is coming as blank in Excel client for Office JS addin Simple repro steps -
Create an Excel app for task pane app for Excel client application
Use the below function to print the document name in the task pane
Build and add the addin manifest in the trusted Add-in catalog so you can insert it into any Excel document.
Launch Excel (a new blank workbook will come up)
Click the button to execute the below code
You will see blank string in the workbook name
Next- save the workbook and then click the button again you will see the correct name displayed in your add-in
function getDataFromSelection() {
        Office.context.document.getSelectedDataAsync(Office.CoercionType.Text,
            function (result) {

I have an app for Excel
I am trying to read the name of the URL (document name)
It works fine in online
When the same addin is used in Excel client app it gives correct result for a saved document.
But
When the a new workbook is launched with name eg - Book1.xlsx and we try to print the Office.context.document.url to get the name, we get an empty string.
Is this by design or a bug? is there a way to get the name of the default unsaved document?

A: Upon investigation, it seems like the URL property was indeed designed for Online scenarios, so just a regular file on the computer or an unsaved file will not be returned by this.  We have jotted down a backlog item to expose the filename (just the name, not the path) across all platforms, though, so this should be forthcoming in the future.

2019 According To… Camo MC
Dave Jenkins / 16 December 2019
Photography: Cory Blackburn
Our feeds have been heavily stacked with videos from down under over the last few months as many new wave UK DJs have experienced their first New Zealand tour and shared their view from the decks. Maximum hype clips; it's clear the New Zealand D&B crowds attended their dancefloor tear-up lessons and passed with honours.
It's officially popping over there… Not just when touring artists visit but all the time. And while it's definitely enjoying a fresh new intake of fans this year, New Zealand has had a rich history drum & bass history since the late 90s. Massive acts like Tali, Concord Dawn and Shapeshifter have all set crucial benchmarks, their prime minister is an old school D&B head and you've MCs like Camerin Jago are right in the thick of it.
The instantly recognisable, larger than life Camo MC has been ushering in new Kiwi raver generations since the mid 2000s, hyping them up with his unique party-hearty style. Gradually over the years he's risen to be one of the country's leading mic-men to the point he was recently booked as a headline act in his own right. The show was the cherry on a particularly sweet cake; 2019 has been a movie for this gentleman MC whose signature appears to be made of pure positivity.
Steadily building up his own body of work with tracks such as Taking Over and Gun Fingers Up, Camo levelled up this summer with his Saxxon collaboration We Are One, a track that came with its own wholesome and inspiring story that we covered at the time. More recently his recent track No Stress focuses on mental health, an issue he battles with himself, and came with artwork so cheeky a fan has already had it tattooed to their leg.
These are just a few potted highlights for the self-proclaimed 'serial yarner' who actually started MCing as part of his recovery from drugs and alcohol abuse. With more collabs in the pipeline with acts from UK to Germany, and more headline shows too, expect plenty more highlights from the man in 2020. But first, a rewind to look back over his biggest year so far.
Looking back, you set the tone with Taking Over at the start of the year…
Yeah I guess it was an affirmation. MCs can be narcissistic and self-indulgent but that tune was a track about the sound of drum & bass taking over worldwide. I'm passionate about representing drum & bass and New Zealand in particular. The video was a snapshot of what we get up to on the weekend and what goes down. That show was special, the Timaru show went off! It was like 'wow this is how it's going down, this is drum & bass in 2019'
Has it always been kicking off massively or are we just seeing more videos of it online because a lot of guys have enjoyed their first New Zealand tour?
It's always had a strong scene, particularly in Christchurch. We had a venue called Ministry which we lost in the earthquake. Bailey said it was his favourite venue in the world, for example. But this year has been massive, it's quadrupled. We're seeing these new guys coming through on their first international tours, and that's definitely helped. But you know why I think it's so big here?
Shapeshifter and Concord Dawn. Those two acts changed everything here. You had Morning Light which is just a universal anthem. Then you had Don't Tell Me which featured Tiki Taane who was already a big name thanks to Salmonella Dub who were also huge. That blew things up massively.
You also have very strong reggae and dub scenes and a strong soundsystem culture and, on the flip side, there's also a strong rock scene with bands like Shihad and 8 Foot Sativa As we know, rock has a lot of roads into drum & bass and a lot of local guys come from metal bands. Trei has been in metal bands, Evan left Concord Dawn to be in a metal band, The Upbeats have metal roots. It's a balance of it all. And that's before I even get to Shapeshifter who are the biggest export after Fat Freddy's Drop. Every summer they headline festivals here so kids have been exposed to D&B every summer for decades ages. For fuck's sake our prime minster gave Prince Harry a Shapeshifter album!
She appears to be a pretty cool prime minister.
She's a pretty cool drum & bass head, that's what she is cuzzy. She admitted to Matt from Concord Dawn she was a fan from back in the day.
Amazing. You did your first headline festival show recently didn't you?
I did. Elektro Hangar, which was in an actual airplane hangar with planes and shit around. Absolutely wild and definitely a highlight this year. It's funny; my friend once described MCs as 'the DJ's handbag'. Sometimes we are. Our role is to hype the DJ. But we don't have many options to work with headline acts in New Zealand. To be reliant on touring is tough stuff, so I thought 'I need to be a headline act myself.' I need to do my own show with my own DJ. I tried a few different styles but went back to my drum & bass roots around two years ago. Around this time I shouted Belly Man and suggested an international Car Barz session. He was up for it so I pulled MCs from across the New Zealand musical community. Guys from grime, hip-hop, everything. They all came correct and the videos had thousands of views. So that was me back in D&B and since then I've been releasing tunes steadily and building up to the type of headline slots you mentioned.
Tunes with messages, too. Not just empty hype bars…
Well, I've had my past. My life hasn't been perfect. I know what it's like to struggle and those times, when things feel like they'll never get better, music got me through. The first time I started MCing was when I first got clean off drugs and alcohol. I'd come out of rehab and needed something to focus on. I didn't stay sober that time around, but it was music that kept me sober and clean for all these years.
Oh wow so MCing is part of your recovery and personal development?
The whole drum & bass scene is full stop. Raves get portrayed as druggy things. And yes, there are drugs at parties. But they're everywhere; rock concerts, on the streets, people don't even leave the house and they do drugs. That's a societal issue, not a dance music issue. When I started to go out sober I felt completely welcome. There was no one questioning my choices or judging me, we're all here for the family vibe, we're here for the music. I was able to go out, be sober, socialise and still feel part of something. To be accepted by the drum & bass community was a lifesaver.
I love that. So how bad did things get for you?
It got dark. The thing is, you come out of school and everyone's partying and it's common to experiment. I've dealt with self esteem issues my whole life. I found self-medicating made me feel better and I lost my off switch. I don't think I had one inf the first place. I didn't know myself, I lost my dignity completely and the drugs weren't covering up my issues any more. I was overweight, I was lost and I did my first stint at rehab aged 23. I've slipped up over the years and it got as bad as you want it to get. I've felt completely hopeless. But now I live my dream. I'm a dad during the week and performing most weekends and meeting all these amazing people and getting really inspired by everyone in the community
What's coming up in the dream for 2020?
I'm just grafting cuzzy. I'm working really closely with Octo Pi at the moment. His tunes are fire, he's criminally underrated. I'm sending him vocals every week. I've got some collabs in the works with MC Zee in Toronto, I've linked with Starz and Deeza, me and Saxxon will be doing more music next year, I've just sent collabs to Germany, to the UK, I'm just sending out vocals as much as I can and seeing what comes of it. I've got a tune coming out to look out for called Rave Etiquette.
Ah you've posted about this online…
It's the rules of the rave, right? People complain about the young'uns but are they telling them the rules? Are they educating? Or are they waggling their finger at them? I like to have fun with my music. People can be so serious about drum & bass, overthinking all the time. Go out, have fun, don't over analyse or stop people from having fun. Actually I've got my first obnoxious cheesy jump up tune which I'm excited about. It's a big middle finger up to the haters. It's like people are scared to say they like jump-up again but we all know they're secretly listening to Macky Gee at home. Don't listen to the keyboard warriors!
I've been working with my bro Dekane who's doing a remix of my Gun Fingers Up track. The last video was great fun with so many people throwing their gun fingers up so we've got another one with loads of great people on there. At the start of the video it's me calling out sheep to do gun fingers. Of course they don't because they're sheep.
That's it; I love repping New Zealand and taking the piss out of myself. The artwork for the new single No Stress is me as a golden buddah, taking the piss that I'm a bit on chubby side. Plus the birds in that artwork are native New Zealand birds. I like doing things like that.
Nice one little touches. I think I've seen a pic of a tattoo of that artwork!
You have cuzzy. Crazy shit, right? What an honour that someone would have me tattooed on their leg! Shouts to the artist Theo Arajj for doing something so sick someone would have it tattooed to them for life.
That's dedication. What's been your thoughts on music in general this year?
Loved it cuzzy. My favourite producer to come out is Kanine. Everything he drops hits the spot. He makes anthems but he's got grit. He's smashing it. I've also got more into minimal D&B which I wasn't as much of a fan of before. When I MC'd for Klinical he changed my view on that! The way he mixed and the tunes he's got, I have to big that guy up. I've MC'd with minimal guys before and they didn't like my style, but I see it as a challenge. It's about me giving respect to their set. As much as I love being the centre of the stage on my own shows, I know how to adept and host and toast the DJ.
There are so many shades of MC style…
Yeah man. You need to absorb the atmosphere because every time it's different. There's no blueprint for this. You can have it all planned but the crowd will have a different vibe. Sometimes you have to stand back, other times you can go full tilt. Sometimes I can bring Rage Against The Machine or even Outhere Brothers bars. I know I'll get scalded for that, it's not very D&B, but you know what? Every time I do them, I get a response from the crowd. I actually learnt not to overthink things from a show a couple of years back when Danny Byrd requested me to play. It was at Studio in Auckland. Sold out. Absolute vibes. Danny actually asked me about everyone putting their lights in the air for a particular tune. I'd never done it before but he said it would be cool and not to overthink it. It was sick. But that's the thing; the right time and place for things. Danny called it perfectly. We played again this year and he said it was his favourite set he'd done in New Zealand. I love working with UK DJs because they totally get MCs and often request us even if we're not originally booked.
I'm wondering which UK MCs first came over and inspired you…
We were lucky to have a lot of MCs come over. Lowqui with Goldie, Verse with Pendulum, IC3 and Mampi Swift. GQ and Dyna were big inspirations and caught my attention the most. I had an epiphany when I saw Dynamite and Roni Size in 2005 at Ministry. I was wasted on mushrooms and BZP, which was a pig wormer and a legal speed over here. The crowd control and the dynamic between Dynamite and Roni really hit me. They reloaded Brown Paper Bag four times. Each time they wheeled it just on the drop. Dynamite was saying 'they're not ready!' We were screaming and everyone went mental. That was one of those moment when I knew I couldn't just be in the crowd, I had push myself to be up there.
I also learnt so much from GQ. I had the honour of introducing him and Andy C several times and GQ is just the absolute craftsman isn't he?
Damn straight!
He gets people stomping and screaming. He makes you feel this is one of the most special nights of your life. Like you're part of something larger than life. And that's something I always try and do. If the DJ wants one more tune, I'll get that crowd properly hyped up and tell the DJ to hold on. It can be quite a challenge, especially if the DJ is international and way more famous than you are. It's a fine line to tread but when the DJ sees the reaction then it all pays off.
Enough about international talent. Big up the New Zealand artists…
Lee Mvtthews are sick. They've just released an album, their tunes are on that big dancefloor tip and they're smashing it, they've even been on the mainstream news here. I'd also like to shout out Infectiouss and Getafix who I'm both working on tunes with for next year, as well my own DJ, the badman Resident. Flowidus are killing at the moment, Grommie is doing big things for the ladies on the decks, as well as Unsub who's been killing the studio. Plus my homies Graysound and Monika, both have some very tasty liquid D&B coming through. Sly Chaos are also one crew on the rise worth keeping an eye on, and my boys Medium & Traverse have both been smashing the rollers. Watch out for Moondogg, too. A one man machine about to take the game over on the live tip.
There are so many promoters, DJs, producers & MCs absolutely KILLING it in New Zealand right now so it really is hard to pin it down to just a few so I might leave it there. Apologies to anyone I missed, big up to ANYONE putting work into the NZ scene right now. But I would love to see more local MCs! People are still struggling to get their heads around an MC headlining here but it's happening slowly. If there are any up-and-coming New Zealand MCs reading, hit me up. I want to work with you. We have so many DJs but we need more quality MCs so people understand the culture more out here. We've been blessed with a benchmark set by Tali. I can't begin to explain the inspiration she gave me when she went over to the UK and represented. She just won a New Zealand Music Award for Best Electronic Album. That's the level we're talking about here and I'm working my ass off to keep up that level of reputation; to keep my game up, to bring diversity and make sure I'm always doing my best. And the best is yet to come…

Help For a Jowly Jawline
Beginning in our mid-twenties, our body's production of collagen, the spongey substance that keeps skin plump and firm, begins to decline at a rate of about one percent per year. That means, by age fifty, we have about twenty-five percent less collagen than we did in our twenties and, most likely, a softening jawline to show for it. Here's how to ditch the droop.
By Genevieve Monsma
on Tuesday, April 30, 2019
Boost Collagen Production Topically
Using skincare products proven to boost your skin's own collagen production (and thus slow the progressive loss) is an obvious, easy, and affordable place to start. Two collagen-increasing active ingredients frequently recommended by dermatologists are retinoids and collagen peptides. Both work by revving up the productivity of fibroblasts, the parts of the skin responsible for making new collagen. Retinoids may be found in over-the-counter Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream or Rx-strength Retin-A, while collagen peptides are aplenty in Peter Thomas Roth Peptide 21 Lift & Firm Moisturizer and Juice Beauty Signal Peptides Firming Serum. Note: Using topicals to increase collagen requires patience as it can take up to six months to see results.
Try Microcurrent Therapy
Boosting your body's collagen production is a long-term solution—and, as we mentioned, it takes time. So, if you want to start seeing improvement right now, there are other ways to make your jawline appear more taut, albeit temporarily. "A microcurrent facial uses low-level electrical currents to trigger the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level, improving muscle tone, lifting jowls, aiding in lymphatic drainage, and improving circulation," says Dendy Engelman, M.D., a Manhattan dermatologist and the director of dermatologic surgery at Metropolitan Hospital. The lifting you see right after a microcurrent facial can last up to a week. Manual stimulation via facial massage, or an at-home skin roller, may also help with circulation and lymphatic drainage, though the lifting result is typically shorter-lived than a micro-current facial. (Think two days versus seven.) That said, if you make facial massage or face rolling part of your daily routine, you could see sustained results. For tips on how to do facial massage, skincare company Shiseido offers video tutorials here. Rather have someone else do the massaging for you? British brand The Face Gym, which offers facial "workouts" (aka targeted massages), has just landed stateside in Manhattan with promises of opening new locations across the U.S. this year. Or give DIY face rolling a go with It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Face & Neck Citrine Roller or the Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar; both devices come with instructions.
Consider Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Strategic placement of hyaluronic acid fillers "can help boost facial volume and give the illusion of a less saggy face," says Robert M. Schwarcz, M.D., a Manhattan oculofacial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon and associate clinical professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Sometimes referred to as a 'liquid facelift,' this technique involves injecting thicker, more viscous fillers into the mid and upper part of the face to add volume in those areas and, subsequently, pulling up the slack skin along the jawline. Although the effect is not permanent and lasts only as long as the filler does (from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used), injectable filers also stimulate the skin's own collagen production. Therefore, similar to topical collagen boosters, getting fillers for an immediate lift may also help you maintain firmer skin long-term.
Tone and Tighten with Radiofrequency or Ultrasound
In-office skin-firming treatments that utilize radiofrequency (Thermage) or ultrasound (Ultherapy) technology lift and tone by stimulating fibroblasts to make more collagen. The fibroblast stimulation is believed to be stronger than what you'd get from topical or injectable collagen boosters, and thus the results can also be more dramatic. You still need to wait to see improvement though—typically three to six months. Results vary widely from person to person, depending on the current condition of your skin, and both treatments are recommended for people with mild to moderate sagging, not heavy jowls. The average cost for either therapy is around $2500.
See a Plastic Surgeon
"At a certain point, fillers, radiofrequency, and ultrasound-based technology may no longer lift the lower face as much as you want," says Dr. Schwarcz. And once that happens, it's either time to accept your new normal—or go see a plastic surgeon about a facelift. Surgery is really the only option "to address heavy jowls, deep wrinkles adjacent to the mouth or cheeks or a significantly sagging jawline," says Schwarcz.

The translation is quite good, but some terms are translated without context, so the end user will be confused. Please inform him!
Thanks, we are pretty excited about it our selves.
I understand what you mean about context and I agree, but I think this will sort itself out in time. How can we give context with the way WordPress translate pages are working right now: http://jmp.sh/68GFU90.
The guys that translated are all from our facebook community and they know the plugin very well, plus the Editors will handle it if suggestion from the WordPress community will appear.
Isn't that the point of community translations? To come up with a best version to boot and modify it in time until it will be perfect?
sure, that's way we translate wordpress eco.
We'll look into that, thanks.
@prowebmdk, you have been added as PTE for Brizy for #nl_NL.
I checked the Italian translations and found some inconsistencies.
Please, could you tell to @madz00 read the Italian guidelines, join the Italian Slack Workspace and there ping me, @aliceorru or @wolly for further info?
ps: from today the plugin seems to be removed from the directory. Is that correct?
We are working to address this. Some guideline issue with the JS. We'll sort it shortly.
Done, the plugin is up.
This plugin was closed on June 28, 2018 and is no longer available for download.
Please pay attention to these rules German Glossary, Guidelines and Komposita.
It is also important that the forms of address are not mixed up. The German language has two forms of address: default (du) and formal (Sie) and therefore all language files are available twice.
There are a few errors in the translations. You can correct them (see rules above). Please rejecte your own faulty strings before proposing a corrected string.
If you have any more questions: You can also contact our team at the German Slack #polyglots channel. Join the channel and ask your questions. Someone from the team (not necessarily me) will answer you for sure, but keep in mind that we all do this in our free time and sometimes it can take some time.

but the italian version is showing on the main blog page http://www.rebeccarinaldi.it/servizi-fotografici-di-famiglia-genova/ but it should not; it has a different category so i would just need to exclude that category form the post list but cant find where to do that.
How much of your page is translated? Is it only this post, or other pages as well?
I believe that WPML guys would be much more helpful here.

Zimbabwe-born poet + sound artist MA.MOYO (ALL CAPS) is this week's selector. Her list is every bit the assortment I had imagined – and more.
1. Jay Dee aka J Dilla - Think Twice (1'09" - 1'19")
From Jay Dee – Welcome 2 Detroit (2001)
"One of my favourite pairings in music is Jay Dee & Dwele - such a sick combo. His voice was made for those beats and their chemistry is palpable. These 10 seconds formake a really interesting break in the song - taking us from Dwele's vocals to just pure beats with that really funny bit at the end that ends up not being funny once a gun goes off."
2. Duke Ellington - Jeep's Blues (3'30" - 3'40")
From Duke Ellington And His Orchestra – Ellington At Newport (1957)
"I'm weak for big bands and brass sections. I'm weak for this Johnny Hodges/ Ellington collab. The opening always swoops so high and confidently - it just takes one's breath away then immediately has you swaying back and forth. This is a sexy standard. I chose these 10 seconds because of just the pocket of calm that's created after such a loud and audacious opening."
3. Alice Coltrane - Er Ra (3'55" - 4'05")
From Alice Coltrane - ≈ Turiyasangitananda – Divine Songs (Cassette-only c1987)
"This is one of the many, many pieces of music drawn from four, very rare, cassette-only releases that were distributed to devotees of Alice Coltrane's ashram between 1983 and 1995. The music from these tapes is incredibly meditative, transformative and sonically different to music she commercially released. These 10 seconds resonate with me because we really get to hear not just her vocals but that part of singing that is about devotion to God. Her voice is soft yet strong and yearning. This combined with the harp creates an ethereal feel."
4. Max Roach + Abbey Lincoln - Lonesome Lover (0'10" - 0'20")
From Max Roach His Chorus And Orchestra – It's Time (1962)
"Opening lyrics combined with Abbey's voice just hit sooo hard I will never get used to it. Also - voice and drum when in perfect rhythm can create such a great conversation. I feel this way about Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach."
5. Msaki - Ulwandle Lutshile (0'26" - 0'36")
From Msaki - Zaneliza: How the Water Moves (2016)
"I don't speak or understand isiXhosa, a South African language, but I know this is one of the most well-written songs I've ever heard. Don't ask me how I know - I just do! It's the layering of vocals for me. South African Jazz and all that it influences is top."
6. Tony Allen feat. ESKA - Day Like This (Rework) (2'31" - 2'41")
From Theo Parrish / Tony Allen – Day Like This / Feel Loved 12" (2013)
"This is another example of when the voice and drums are having a juicy conversation. ESKA is one of the best vocalists and musicians and it's always a privilege to experience her genius. Rest in Peace, Uncle Tony."
7. Roy Ayers & Merry Clayton - Oh What A Lonely Feeling (0'39" - 0'49")
From Roy Ayers – Virgin Ubiquity (Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981)
"The breakdown and the switch up of the vocals. My Gods! This song gets me in the gut each time mostly because the way Merry Clayton sang those heartfelt lyrics... It's too much."
PREVIOUS SELECTION
8. Alhaji K Frimpong - Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu (0'30"-0'40")
From Alhaji K. Frimpong- K. Frimpong And His Cubano Fiestas (1976)
"I first heard this song in a basement speakeasy with a yellow door on Dalston Kingsland Road. My Ghanaian friend screamed and ran to the white DJ to ask him where he had heard this song. She went on to tell him it was her Dad's favourite song which she had never heard outside of her home and only closely associated with her Ghanaian heritage. Between being strongly captured by the horns and my friend's strong reaction I couldn't help but hold on to this song forever."

Islamic State affiliates 'in Australia's backyard', ASIS spy chief Nick Warner says
By Colin Cosier

Nick Warner said security agencies needed to adapt and change. (AAP: Alan Porritt)
Australia's foreign spy agency chief says Islamic extremism in South-East Asia, particularly in the southern Philippines, is a growing national security concern.
Nick Warner says "wannabe jihadists" present in South-East Asia
He says IS caliphate will fail in time, but could be followed by a Sunni insurgency
Tells the US Snowden damaged their national security
Nick Warner, the head of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS), is the only agency chief to have spoken publicly in its 60 years of operation.
"In Australia's backyard in South-East Asia there are now ISIL affiliates — in Indonesia , in the southern Philippines," he told a panel discussion in Washington, using another term for the Islamic State (IS) group.
"This year there have been four small scale, and pretty hopeless, terrorist attacks, but the willingness is there, the ideology is there."
Mr Warner warned the southern Philippines were a particular concern and said extremists looked likely to establish a fully-fledged IS branch there.
"That worries me a lot. I can see that acting as a magnate for wannabe jihadists and for returnees out of the caliphate as that is destroyed," he said.
Mr Warner said he had no doubt the so-called Islamic State's Middle East caliphate would fail in time.
But he warned that it could then be followed by a protracted Sunni insurgency.
"And even if the protracted Sunni insurgency doesn't follow, I think the ideology of Al Qaeda and ISIL has spread too far for us to be able destroy it any time soon," he said.
Mr Warner was applauded for his response to a question over whether Australia trusted sharing intelligence with the US after the Edward Snowden leaks.
"All I will say is I'm amazed still that there's a debate about this in the United States," he said.
"Edward Snowden damaged your national security in very significant ways."

Rory Medcalf, the head of the National Security College at the Australian National University, said Mr Warner's focus on South-East Asia was reasonable.
"After all it's the one region of the world where Australia's intelligence agencies can make a fundamental difference, whereas in the Middle East or elsewhere we're essentially part of a much wider team effort," he said.
"If you look at the impact that Australia has had in the past in South-East Asia, for example in the response to the Bali bombings… it makes good sense to focus our efforts there."
Mr Medcalf said Mr Warmer's remarks were significant because he was recognising the "dramatic changes" in the international security environment.
"That Australian spies have to adapt to, if we're going to [become] a country that essentially protects its interests into the future," he said.

Welcome one and welcome all to the greatest fantasy football experiment ever. For the 12th time the Virginator is back to unlearn everything. In this annual and entirely noble experiment, a fantasy football team is drafted, managed and maintained in a weekly article. Utilization of FantasySharks.com is a must and in the end we either win or lose. At least we did it together.
Before this journey begins, my friends, it is my tradition here at Fantasy Sharks, and in my "Diary of a Fantasy Virgin" article, to bring to you what my summer was all about.
The first half of the year was spent recovering from running The Goofy Challenge. My wife and I ran this in January, 2013. Oh, you say. What is the Goofy Challenge? Just go and look up my name and you will see that my wife and I ran the half-marathon on Saturday followed by a full marathon on Sunday during Disney's Marathon Weekend in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Now that is goofy.
And I still wrote my weekly article.
Shortly after the Goofy challenge came winter and we had a couple of incredible snowstorms. On Friday, February 8th a snowstorm dumped 35.5 inches of the white stuff on us. It snowed for no less than 26 hours straight and our road did not get plowed until Sunday. That Saturday evening was one of the loneliest moments in my life. There was no navigable way out and no way in. Only by snowmobile. The eerie sound of just winter and no vehicle traffic on our road manifested itself in a delusional devolutionary zombie environment. It harkened back to days without technology or a future where the world has taken a perilous turn.
Now onto the summer. Sure there was another trip to Disney. It was our 12th anniversary and we spent it having a lovely meal at Victoria & Albert's located in the Grand Floridian Hotel. That was a special evening, and although the seven course meal was great, the company of my wife was much better.
Editor's note: Someone's wife must read his columns.
So I have been writing a weekly article for this website since opening week 2002. And every year I ponder what type of year it will be. It should go something like this. There will be terrific highs and magnificent lows. So welcome to fantasy football. You will need an "ish" of luck to quote the vernacular of the day.
I am going to draft this year like I always did in the past. Just change it up based upon a strong quarterback league or a weak quarterback league. A strong quarterback league is one where when the quarterback gets a touchdown, you get six points. If you are in a weak quarterback league, the quarterback gets three points for a touchdown.
Most leagues give three points to the quarterback, and I personally think it's a ripoff. In a weak quarterback league, draft athletic ability but put off the high-rated quarterbacks until later. In a strong quarterback league, just look it over and if you are drafting 10th and a quarterback is still available, go for it.
Two years ago I took over the commissioner duties of my league and I instituted a strong quarterback league. And everyone did not take a quarterback in the first round. I was dumbfounded. The 10th-rated quarterback will still score more than a go-to wide receiver in a strong quarterback league. And last year was no different. After loading the scoring model into the Fantasy Sharks scoring system, 11 quarterbacks came ahead of the first position player, wide receiver Calvin Johnson followed closely by running back Adrian Peterson.
The modern NFL distribution offense favors wide receivers. The incorporation of the West Coast Offense favors the wide receivers. The "no touch" rules favor the wide receivers. Therefore, wide receivers carry the day after quarterbacks in a strong quarterback league. Only take wide receivers first if your league is not a strong quarterback league.
Knowledge is power, and this site cranks it up with enough wattage to light a moonless winter evening. I will, of course, be writing about that soon enough so I will not get ahead of myself just yet.
I will let you know how my draft worked out by the first week of September. With the NFL starting on Thursday, September 5th, our draft settles everything on September 2nd. As always, it is good to be back. Welcome to fantasy football 2013 and the greatest fantasy football site on the World Wide Web.

Non-Profits in the Pandemic
July 9, 2020 - Readers of many Wisconsin newspapers in the USA Today Network probably saw the same article that drew the attention of Observatory staff and board members.
"Wisconsin nonprofits could be in dire financial straits in the months, and possibly years, ahead as they continue to cancel or scale back vital fundraising events due to the coronavirus pandemic. One in five nonprofits that responded to a University of Wisconsin System survey said they worry about meeting payroll for the next eight weeks. Almost 50% have laid off staff already, and 93% said they're considering future layoffs."
The survey of more than 500 nonprofits statewide to assess COVID-19's effect on Wisconsin nonprofits was led by UW-Milwaukee's Helen Bader Institute for Nonprofit Management with the Institute for Nonprofit Management Studies at UW-Whitewater.
"This survey tells people not to forget about this sector. The nonprofit sector helps our quality of life," said co-author Lora Warner of the UW-Green Bay Center for Public Affairs. "Businesses will struggle and do the best they can. Governments will serve whom they can with fewer tax dollars, but nonprofits step in with shows, environmental protections, trail management and more. They're doing so many things for our communities."
According to Bob Holzrichter, the Observatory's Treasurer, the economic effects of COVID-19 on our own situation have not been kind. "By March of this year," he reports, "it became obvious to the board that our fund balances needed to be watched closely."
We have weathered the pandemic so far—thanks to the diligence, planning and ingenuity of our two staff members, the hard work of our volunteer directors and the continued financial backing of a growing group of supporters. There have been no layoffs, although the Observatory did suspend its seasonal Waterbird Watch at Harrington Beach State Park at the end of the spring survey.
"We've been facing multiple challenges all at the same time," says Board Chair Charles Hagner. "While we were retooling our research objectives under a new science director, we reached the expiration of a significant Fish and Wildlife Service grant connected with our leadership of the Midwest Migration Network and we were forced to cancel many of our spring educational events, which double as fundraisers."
These included a World Migratory Bird Day celebration and native plant sale that draws hundreds to Forest Beach Migratory Preserve each May, as well as a field trip for the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. More recently, the Observatory has had to cancel a planned pollinator tour and Monarch workshop at Coal Dock Park and our annual Monarch tag-and-release celebration.
To compensate, the Observatory is taking advantage of the social-media skills of recently hired administrative assistant Sarah Harsson Stoll to greatly expand our outreach via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Holzrichter points out an additional challenge: "After the Land Trust decided to close the clubhouse at Forest Beach, we were obligated to rent office space in Port Washington at a cost of $3,600 a year, but we haven't been able to occupy it since early March." Both Sarah and Science Director Jennifer Phillips-Vanderberg are working from home.
So the board tackled the things they could control on both the revenue and expense sides. Actions taken so far include:
1) Conducting our first spring giving appeal. The campaign has raised $11,521 so far (it's not too late to contribute!) and is helping offset our lost events revenue.
2) Offering for sale our own "United by Birds" shirts, which emphasize our work for birds of the Great Lakes. The shirts may generate only a modest amount of funds, but they're causing a big increase in awareness of the Observatory.
3) Securing a $16,000 Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan, with the anticipation that the entire balance will be forgiven under current Small Business Administration rules. This will, in turn, help offset the loss of federal grant support.
4) Taking several cost-saving measures. Since wages are by far our largest outlay, we reluctantly suspended our Waterbird Watch after avian technician Calvin Brennan (an independent contractor) announced plans to seek a similar position elsewhere, and we opted not to replace our part-time development specialist when she took a full-time position closer to her home.
In addition, planning continues for an alternative to our annual fall conservation summit, which last year drew nearly 200 people to the clubhouse at Forest Beach and this year had been scheduled for the Pieper Power Education Center at the Mequon Nature Preserve. Some form of virtual meeting(s) seems in the cards instead, perhaps coupled with an online silent auction.
Meanwhile, the board and staff are reaching out to brief supporters on two key initiatives:
Motus: The Observatory is working to expand the Motus wildlife-monitoring network by partnering with environmental-education organizations to use Motus as part of environment, science, technology, engineering and math (E-STEM) programs. Environmental-ed organizations offer both knowledge of E-STEM and great locations for Motus towers, while we provide expertise in bird migration and the cutting-edge technology of Motus. Together we aim to gain both an increased understanding of migration and hands-on opportunities for students to engage in real science.
Habitat: The use of nonnative and invasive species in urban and suburban areas is a major cause of habitat loss and degradation. The Observatory is developing a program to minimize the use of nonnative plant species in yards while studying the effects this shift to native plants would have on birds. Building on successful past outreach about monarchs and native plants and our experience with ornithological research, this program is a hybrid educational and biological research program. By doing these two things together, we can gain insights into how to maximize benefits for birds and help homeowners make bird-friendly decisions.
Both programs will require dedicated grant funding and the continued support of Observatory donors. COVID or not, with your help this will be an exciting growth year for the Observatory. You can make a donation at https://wglbbo.org/donate .

The leap year 2012 is receding into history. The year of the Black Dragon saw the worsening of Russia's existing problems and brought many new problems. The country's life during this period was marked by a tough confrontation between two trends. On the one hand, the majority of the Russian people were increasingly wanting to throw off their necks the multitude of parasites who were robbing them and bring about a turn for the better. On the other hand, the current "masters of Russia" went out of their way to continue milking the authorities. The contest of these two trends determined the social and political situation.

We tend to think of radiant heat as a fairly new concept, but actually, radiant floor heating technology has been in use for thousands of years. The materials and technology have changed, but the efficient principle behind radiant heat has remained constant.
The history of radiant under floor heating began in 10,000 B.C. with the Chinese, who used the word "kang" (original meaning, "to dry") to describe what became known as a heated bed. Inhabitants drafted smoke from fires through stone covered trenches in the floors of their subterranean dwellings. The hot smoke heated the floor stones, radiating into their living spaces. Evidence of radiant heated floors based on this principle was found in 5,000 B.C. in China and Korea.
In 500 B.C., the Greeks and Romans made the process more efficient and less evasive with the "hypocaust". It used pillars to raise the floors, creating a space underneath where the hot air could circulate. Spaces were also left inside of the walls so that hot air and smoke from the furnace would pass through enclosed areas underneath the floor and out of flues in the roof, radiating heat through the walls along the way.
A furnace was usually located against the outside wall of the structure where a worker would have to constantly feed the fire. Water was also heated and circulated under floors, marking the introduction of hydronic floor heating. Today's hydronic radiant heat systems feature specially treated water, along with a boiler to provide the heat and a pump to circulate the liquid through the tubing in the floor. While the hypocaust marked a significant advancement in radiant under floor heating, the process of heating itself was labor-intensive and high in fuel costs, which made it a luxury for those living in villas, and at the public baths.
Radiant heat involves the transfer of energy that radiates heat outward from its source. Today's radiant floor heating systems utilize a heating element (either electric heat cable or PEX tubing for hydronic systems) to heat the floor. The heated floor radiates warmth to objects in contact with it, and ultimately warms the air in the room.
Unlike forced air heating systems that blow warm air that rises quickly to gather near the ceiling, radiant heat originates at our feet, and slowly rises to warm the room. This provides a luxurious warmth and comfort that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
In addition to the comfort, another popular benefit of radiant heat systems that homeowners enjoy is that unlike forced air systems, radiant heat systems warm the home without stirring up dust and allergens. Electric radiant heating systems also operate silently and are virtually maintenance free.
