Seeing 20/20 is not good enough. Many people equate good vision with seeing well. The College of Optometrists in Visual Development (COVD) has performed numerous studies to indicate 17 visual skills that are needed for reading, learning, sports and….life! It has become an assumption that seeing 20/20 is the only visual goal that needs to be reached. Seeing 20/20 is very important; however, visual acuity is only one of the 17 visual skills.
Simultaneous eye alignment at near – both eyes looking at the same object at near.
Gross visual- motor skills (eye/hand coordination) – one's ability to control large muscles of the body for activities such as pointing at an object, catching or throwing a ball, stepping over an obstacle etc.
Fine visual-motor skills (eye/hand coordination) – one's ability to control small muscles of the body such as hands and fingers while writing or drawing etc.
A comprehensive eye exam is the first step in assessing your visual and ocular health, both of which are essential to good vision. A visual skills examination takes an eye exam a step further focusing only the visual system to determine which, if any, of those 17 areas need to be addressed and is the basis for the development of a customized vision therapy treatment plan.

The project, Strengthening Water Security of Vulnerable Island States, commenced in 2015 in five Pacific atoll countries acutely vulnerable to the impacts of drought and other hazards on drinking water supplies: the Cook Islands, Kiribati, the Republic of Marshall Islands, Tokelau and Tuvalu. Funded by New Zealand and implemented by the Pacific Community (SPC), the five-year project aims to assist vulnerable and isolated communities secure access to safe and reliable drinking water supplies, including during periods of drought. With the assistance of technical support and coordination at the regional level, the project is developing practical measures that target some of the major barriers to protecting water security, including: (i) capacity to anticipate, prepare and respond to drought; and (ii) ability to effectively and efficiently utilise and maintain existing systems (both human and infrastructure).
The overall objective of the project of which this contract is a part of is to enhance water security through building the capacity of local communities and the Tokelau government to develop effective water resource management structures and frameworks to identify and implement measures that increase climate resilience.
b.	a revised draft national water and sanitation action plan, responding to the priority areas of the policy and integrating and updating existing work plans at the village and national level.
•	Engagement of the community in water, sanitation and hygiene issues.
To assist in the development of the framework, the Consultant will conduct a comprehensive review of current water governance and institutional arrangements for water in Tokelau (including those supported by various water related donor programmes) and identify gaps and measures to bridge these through the adoption of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approaches and principles.
The work will take into account other major related on-going or planned activities related to water and sanitation policy, and specifically consider the important issue of Tokelau's capacity to adapt to the water-related impacts of climate change, with a view to ensuring that the policy and coordination framework supports provisions to strengthen this capacity.
The Consultant will be required to work under the direction of SPC and the Tokelau Government, and in consultation with relevant government parties, civil society and the private sector. In undertaking this work, the Consultant will contribute to building the ongoing capacity of Tokelau governance structures at multiple levels. The Consultant will be required to apply a highly participatory approach during the assignment, and undertake coaching and targeted training of counterpart staff in order to enable their meaningful participation in this and future policy development processes.


(Bee)autiful Blessings: Happy Birthday IJM!
I tend to try to keep things on this blog personal and light-hearted. Superficial, even, sometimes. This week, however, is the 15th birthday of, in my mind, one of the greatest humanitarian organizations in existence today, International Justice Mission. So without further ado, allow me to celebrate!
I first learned of International Justice Mission my freshman year at Eastern University. As a part of our introductory freshman curriculum we read a book written by IJM's founder, Gary Haugen, entitled The Good News About Injustice. The book began as he recounted the horrors he witnessed as he stood surrounded by the slain bodies of Rwandan victims as the U.S. Department of Justice's Genocide Investigator. He sat on a bus en route to his job days later looking around at his fellow passengers and thinking, "Excuse me, friends, but did you know that less than forty-eight hours ago I was standing in the middle of several thousand corpses in a muddy mass grave in a tiny African country called Rwanda?"
Gary (yeah, I like to think we're on a first name basis) was soon challenged with how to reconcile what he'd witnessed with the suburban comforts of his own life. And so he courageously embarked upon a journey to found International Justice Mission.
For those who don't know, IJM is a faith-based human rights agency whose aim is to bring justice to victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. They work with local governments to bring slave owners to justice, they send undercover investigators into brothels to release young girls forced into prostitution and they provide counseling and after-care to help the rescued assume a happy, healthy life.
The success stories that come out of IJM's work are unbelievable and with that in mind I decided I wanted to be a part of it. The summer following my semester abroad, one of my best friends and I decided we were going to head our campus' chapter of IJM. We led weekly meetings filled with prayer about IJM's casework, we organized fundraisers with 100% of proceeds directly benefiting the organization and we organized a trip to IJM's 2010 Global Prayer Gathering.
Gary Haugen and I at the 2010 Global Prayer Gathering. I was completely starstruck!
Ultimately, we both felt so fortunate to bless IJM in even the smallest ways that we were able. But the reality was, we were far more blessed just to be involved with them.
If you'd like to learn more about IJM, visit their website here. And if you feel you have 5 minutes to spare I'd really encourage you to watch this video celebrating IJM's 15 years and making plans for an amazing 15 more.


The twelfth seminar in the CLOSER Longitudinal Methodology Series featured talks from Vasiliki Bountziouka and Chris Belfield. Vasiliki is a Research Associate at the UCL Institute of Child Health and Chris is a Research Economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). Vasiliki will present an investigation of the distribution of childhood visual function in the UK and associations with early life social position. Chris will discuss how his project has worked on deriving harmonised measures of income which are consistent both within and across CLOSER studies.
Although country-specific strategic plans exist to tackle social inequalities in visual health in adults, underpinned by a growing evidence-base, little is known about trends in distribution of visual function in childhood and its association with social position. We present an investigation of the distribution of childhood visual function in the UK and associations with early life social position, over a quarter century of social change. We used harmonised data from the British 1946, 1958 and 1970 national birth cohorts and found evidence of a temporal decline in visual function in childhood with the risk of overall impaired vision increasing by 20% over this period. Social position at birth and in childhood was associated, in opposing directions, with this cohort effect with girls consistently at increased risk. We will discuss how the patterns of associations with social position varied by vision category and how early life social position may have contributed to the current known social patterning in visual function in older adults in the UK.
Many research questions of vital importance to public policy require consistent data on socio-economic status both within and across cohorts. However, across the waves and studies that make up the four major British Cohort Studies, information about income is recorded using a various different methods. The resulting measures are, therefore, inconsistent and this creates a barrier to reliable cross cohort analysis. In this work, we account for these differences and derive harmonised measures of income which are consistent both within and across studies. We use external data sources to validate these measures and test for Two Sample Two Stage Least Squares bias using simulated data. We use these consistent measures of income to explore the role of assortative mating and the tax and benefit system in perpetuating or mitigating intergenerational income persistence.

Ontario must also invest in college infrastructure projects
(Brockville, Cornwall, Kingston, Jan. 28, 2009) – Ontario is being urged to follow Ottawa's lead and invest in college infrastructure projects in this year's provincial budget, St. Lawrence College president and CEO, Chris Whitaker said today.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for Ontario to create new jobs immediately and to invest in the province's economic strength over the longer term," said Whitaker.
"Investing in shovel-ready projects will stimulate job growth and create new spaces to help colleges deliver quality education and training to Ontario students."
The comments follow yesterday's federal budget announcement of investments into college infrastructure. The presidents from Ontario's 24 colleges met in Toronto on Monday and Tuesday and the capital requirements at colleges was one of the main subjects of discussion.
Infrastructure plans for St. Lawrence College include approximately 50 million dollars for projects across our three campuses. Plans include consolidation and revitalization of the Cornwall campus, improvements to the Brockville campus to accommodate growth in the degree nursing, music theatre performance, and pre-service firefighter programs, and Kingston campus expansion to include space for renewable and sustainable energy programs, applied research, community and justice studies, and more.
Building repairs are long overdue in many colleges. Major systems such as water, sewer, mechanical, electrical and heating and air-conditioning need renewal.
There are also health and safety issues to address, such as facility modifications to improve access for disabled students. And additional capital funding will enable colleges to improve energy conservation and reduce future energy costs.
These kinds of renewal projects are in keeping with the province's plans, announced in 2004, to revitalize public infrastructure projects in priority areas such as schools, hospitals and roads.
The need for improvements is growing more urgent. The recession has increased the numbers of students applying to colleges. This year St. Lawrence College experienced a 16 per cent jump in applications to programs that start in January.
"Many people, including the recently unemployed, recognize that a college education provides excellent job opportunities," Whitaker said. "More than 90 per cent of our graduates find work within six months, which is a very attractive prospect in the current economy.
"Infrastructure investment at the colleges will mean government is investing in the future labour force as well as in immediate job creation in the short term."
About St. Lawrence College
St. Lawrence College has approximately 6,000 full-time students from Canada and around the world, 20,000 part-time registrants, and 3,000 Job Connect Clients in over 80 academic programs and employs over 1,000 full-time and part-time staff at our three campuses in Brockville, Cornwall, and Kingston. In addition to new residences with more than 700 beds, the College has recently invested in new programs including degree Nursing, Bachelor of Business Administration, Energy Systems Engineering Technology, and the Culinary Co-op Apprenticeship Diploma Program, among others.

This Is Anfield • Liverpool FC News •
Martin Kelly "sharper" and ready to push for first team place at Liverpool
Martin Kelly has revealed that he is almost back to full fitness and ready to make a push into Liverpool's first-team.
Kelly has made just two league appearances for the Reds since rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during a league match against Manchester United in September 2012.
Now the 23-year-old defender feels he is regaining his sharpness after over a year in rehabilitation.
"It was a good chance for me to get some minutes," Kelly told the Liverpool Echo, after coming on as a second-half substitute against West Ham at the weekend for the final 12 minutes.
"I'm feeling a lot sharper. I've been doing some additional training over the past few weeks and I'm ready to push on.
"It has taken longer than I hoped to get back to this level but that's been brought on by us not being in the Europa League or having much of a run in the League Cup.
"It's been difficult to get game time as the manager has to pick his best XI to start every game
"I was just made up to get on against West Ham and now I need to keep progressing. I've been working hard and I feel a lot fitter than back in pre-season."
Kelly also played during the Liverpool Under 21s defeat at home to Bolton on Monday afternoon as he looks to increase his game time and fitness.
Asked whether the final part of his return from injury could have any psychological hurdles to jump, Kelly added, "I don't think there's been a mental barrier to get through as such, it's more about not feeling as sharp as I wanted.
"Ask anyone who has had a long-term injury and they'll tell you it's tough to get back to that level you were at before the injury.
"It takes time and it comes back slowly. Now I'm back nearly to peak fitness and I'm ready to go."
Since making his debut for the club in 2008/09 under Rafa Benitez, Kelly has made 57 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring once, in a League Cup victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in November 2011.

Week in Words
A field guide to unusual words in this week's Wall Street Journal.
By Erin McKean
supers
In the three operas performed this season, there are nonsinging roles aplenty: 150 in Verdi's "Aida," 28 in Berlioz's "Les Troyens" and 80 in Puccini's "Turnadot." These cast members are called "supers," an encouraging label if there ever was one for someone who doesn't do something.
A super, shortened from "supernumerary" (equivalent to an "extra"), is also called a "spear-carrier," as the actor often stands and does just that.

Is Hawaiian Airlines Riding A Wave Or Will Southwest Create Too Much Undertow?
Can New 'Magnetic Shield' Stop Drone Attacks?
Once A Fine Dining Experience, Then A Bad Joke, Could Airline Food Be Primed For A Comeback?
Industrial scale meal preparation like this at an airline catering facility at Charles de Gaulle ... [+] International Airport outside Paris may be efficient but it creates big challenges to delivering great tasting meals that travelers will love in the low pressure/low humidity environment aboard a plane at 35,000 feet. (LIONEL BONAVENTURE/AFP via Getty Images)
Go figure: At a time when air travel demand is down globally by about 70%, Singaporeans are booking reservations weeks in advance for the chance to pay $40 to $525 to dine inside a parked Singapore Airlines Airbus 380 super widebody.
In Pattaya, Thailand, business at Thai Airways headquarters' café has exploded in the months since the company chopped up one of its narrow body planes and rebuilt it, with some slight modifications, inside the company's former commissary.
And people have been flocking since 2013 to the world's largest "aviation movie set" inside a warehouse in the blue-collar Los Angeles suburb of Pacoima. Once there, they pay $475 to $875 a person to enjoy everything from a conventional 1970s economy class inflight meal served on plastic trays to a lavish first class feast served on fine airline china and crystal. And what makes the meal, and an accompanying movie, so special is that it is served inside a giant Boeing 747 "set" by beautiful actors dressed in 1970s airline uniforms. The dinner theatre-style production is called the Pan Am Experience because it seeks to replicate what it was like to fly - and eat while doing so - in the 1970s.
In the real, Covid-19-infested world today, few airlines are serving their few passengers any food or drinks at all. And when they eventually begin doing so again, you can bet that travelers will complain loudly about the quality of the food.
Yet, to some airline and travel aficionados, the opportunity not only to eat airline food but to do it aboard a real or replica airliner has become almost a bucket list item, or else decadent pleasure they allow themselves every now and again.
Over the last 80 years airline food has evolved from a novel idea and technology to:
A high-status experience about which people bragged
The brunt of endless jokes and complaints
Almost non-existent.
But, if a Irish-British historian whose intriguing new book on the history of airline food hits the shelves today is right, airline food is likely to make a limited comeback over the next few years as passenger demand and the industry slowly recovers from near-collapse due to the pandemic.
"I don't think we'll ever get back to the point of there being cocktail lounges on 747s; to the Frank Sinatra Come Fly With Me marketing approach, to experiencing what it's like to have white-gloved stewards working from silver service trolleys carving chateaubriand right at your seat and serving you fine wines," says Bryce Evans, an associate professor of history at Liverpool Hope University in the United Kingdom.
"However, I can see - and I really think more international airlines are doing this already – carriers once again are concentrating on food service as a critical piece of their marketing, of their brand and service experience," says Evans, author of Food and Aviation in the 20th Century. Published by Bloomsbury, it goes on the shelves in North America and the U.K. today.
"Even now, with the pandemic still going on, several top international airlines like Emirates, Thai, Singapore and Turkish really take pride in their food. That's something that U.S. carriers used to take great pride in, too. I wish I could say that British Airways, which always used to be quite good with their food service, was still good. It has fallen off some in recent years, but it's still pretty good and I believe that as part of such airlines' efforts to attract travelers, especially premium class travelers back to their planes they will once again begin trying to distinguish themselves by their food service in the premium classes."
Alas, Evans says he does not expect airlines to focus a lot of attention and effort on improving what food they will be serving again to their economy class passengers. Such travelers' overwhelming preference for low fares will preclude airlines from spending much more on coach class food than they were spending prior to the pandemic's arrival.
Higher-quality airline food, he says, "is always something you're going to have to pay more" to receive, whether that cost is embedded in a higher, premium class fare, charged as an extra fee, or presented as an a la carte/buy-on board offering.
Evans, an Irishman teaching at a British university, got interested in the subject of airline food via his research as a historian into how leading historical political leaders used food and sources of food to manipulate key political or historical developments. In particular, he studied how British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill tried to pressure an independent and neutral Ireland into supporting Britain's World War II efforts through the constriction of the smaller island's access to food supplies. And it was during that research that he happened upon the character William Maxson, a Minnesota engineer and inventor who at the end of the war essentially invented the process still used today for preparing airline meals many hours in advance and then heating them up in flight right before serving them.
"In 1946 Pan Am signed a contract with Maxson to introduce hot airline food," Evans explained. "He had created a multi-compartment convection oven that could reheat meals made and frozen well in advance.
You read that right. Singapore Airlines has turned one of its Airbus A380s into a static restaurant ... [+] during the pandemic at Changi International Airport there. Customers willing pay up to $900 are flocking to experience what it's like to eat a gourmet meal in the premium sections of the world's largest passenger plane. (ROSLAN RAHMAN/AFP via Getty Images)
Maxson had teamed with Birds Eye, the American company that perfected the process for freezing vegetables for sale via modern grocery stores, to develop a way of thawing those vegetables, preparing inflight meals using them, and then freezing those meals for service hours later on planes.
The only problem, Evans, noted, was the "Pan Am's people realized very quickly that Maxson's meals were quite bad tasting. Others did, too. The New Yorker wrote that they were 'meals prepared for doomsday.'"
Pan Am, though adjusted quickly by breaking its contract with Maxson and began working with famous chefs, a practice that airlines still engage in today, to come up with more appealing recipes. That, however, is easier said than done.
Noise and motion actually have a negative impact on a person's ability to taste and enjoy food. So in the piston-engine era airline food departments and their big-name chef advisors had to find ways to overcome those taste challenges. Salt – lots of it – helped. Then the problem got worse with the coming of jets. High altitude, low humidity, and reduced air pressure all have a deleterious effect on the sense of taste. The answer? More salt. And sauces. Lots of them. The thicker the better.
Whether it was intentional or happenstance, carriers in the '50s and '60s worked with lots of famous French chefs, or others like the American Julia Child who were expert in the French style of cooking. The emphasis on sauces and ingredients with strong flavors, such as curry, helped overcome the degraded sense of taste issue related to eating at altitude. Carriers also switched away from "finer" wines to more full-bodied, fruity – and, lucky for them – usually less expensive wines. Their stronger taste could be more readily sensed by passengers, many of whom actually had been complaining that the very fine wines previously served by airlines didn't seem to have much taste to them at all.
"Airline food in the '50s and '60s was actually quite good," Evans says. "They actually changed Americans' palettes in those days by popularizing French style cooking before the era of chefs having their own cooking shows on TV."
The industry gets credit for actually inventing a what is – or at least used to be – a popular lunch menu item at upscale restaurants; the open-face steak sandwich. Airlines regularly engaged in "top this" competitions with their in-flight menus. At one point arguments about over-the-top offerings focused on several carriers that had begun serving steak for lunch on its planes. To calm things down, the International Air Transport Association, the industry's global lobby organization, established a rule that airlines could not serve steak at lunch. But to get around the rule someone came up with the idea of placing a small steak on piece of toasted bread, with another piece of toast laying next to it. Walla; the open face steak sandwich.
It wasn't until the early '70s, as the widebodies like the 747 had begun entering service and airline costs began rising very high that airline food began to get a reputation for not being very good."
The famous story of American Airlines President Robert Crandall in the late '1970s ordering the removal of the single olive in the carrier's in-flight dinner salads is the perfect example of why airline food service began to fall in quality. Crandall's seemingly nit-picky olive order saved his airline an amazing $40,000 annually on the purchase of food at a time when it was in deep financial trouble and looking under the coach cushion for change to stay in business.
Evans said Crandall was right in that consumers didn't notice or complain about the lack of an olive in their salads. But the lesson learned by the industry was that carriers could save lots of money by cutting back on lots of small items, including various aspects of food delivery and preparation. So, gradually, the quality of food – like the quality of other service features – declined as carriers cut further and further at a time when deregulation was forcing formerly regulated carriers to dramatically cut costs so they could, for the first time ever, compete for the first time on the basis of low fares and low costs.
Now, though, Evans expects at least some carriers, especially those heavily dependent on long-haul international flying, to make the quality of their food a more prominent aspect of their brand identities and they try to coax business travelers and the wealthy to buy more premium class fares.
"With Pan Am back in the day it was about the quality of the food, but also about making a statement about the entire cultural experience of the carrier and its home country, with food being the feature attraction," Evans said. "Of course, back in those days food became a distraction from the fact that there wasn't much to do but sit in a seat and read or sleep. There weren't any movies to watch, at least not early on. The dining experience actually served as a form of entertainment and distraction. Now travelers have seat back videos, their phones and other devices and so much else to occupy their time in flight that maybe food isn't quite as important."
Additionally, after adjusting in the '90s, '00s and '10s to meet new market trends related to eating healthier – which included more emphasis on cold pastas, salads and generally less tasty (and cheaper) foods – Evans says that even before the pandemic began, a new trend was emerging to include some more flavorful menu items.
"I don't think we'll be going back to lots of heavily salted and sauced foods," he added. "But I think we'll be seeing more strongly flavored meats like beef and exotic poultry rather than rather blander meats like chicken being featured in airline meals. People's tastes and attitudes change over time and that seems to be happening now, at least in the international [air travel] market.
"But in domestic markets, especially very large domestic markets like America's, there may be a small comeback and improvement in airline meals," Evans said. "But with the continued emphasis on low fares I'm afraid we won't be seeing a lot change or improvement in airline food there."

All About Lightning
by: Adam Solarczyk
It can be seen in thunderstorms, hurricanes, snowstorms, and even volcanic eruptions. Lightning is a natural atmospheric phenomenon caused by the difference between positive and negative charges. When enough opposite charge builds up, the air can no longer insulate the charges, resulting in a rapid discharge of electricity. Martin Fisher, Executive Director at Science Central, uses the Van der Graaf generator at Science Central to demonstrate this in a safer way.
"What's going on up in the sky with air, with lightning is you have all of these air particles, water particles, dust particles, that are rubbing up against each other. Two different objects rub up against each other and it builds up a static charge. Static electricity – and that's what lightning is."
Lightning and thunder go hand-in-hand. You can't have thunder without lightning. A bolt of lightning heats the air around it to as high as 50,000 degrees in just a few millionths of a second. That's about 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Fisher adds, "Thunder is this incredibly fast expansion and contraction of air. And it's because the lightning is so hot. It heats up the air, moves out, comes crashing back in – we hear a sound. We can't really see that it's hot, but this machine does show that the spark is hot. It's warming up the air, it's rising up and bringing the spark with it."
Lightning helps the earth maintain electrical balance and makes ozone-producing chemicals. Without thunderstorms and lightning, the earth-atmosphere electrical balance would be gone in about 5 minutes.
Most lightning is cloud-to-cloud, but lightning strikes the ground – or cloud to ground – an average of 20 million times each year in the U.S. according to the National Weather Service. The chance of you being struck by lightning in your lifetime are about 1 in 13,000.
When it comes to lightning safety the first thing to remember is "when thunder roars, go indoors." Find a sturdy building or a vehicle as fast as you can. If you are stuck outdoors, avoid open fields, you don't want to be the tallest object in the area…lightning tends to strike the taller objects so also avoid shelter near tall trees, towers or utility poles.
Since lightning is electricity you will also want to make sure you are away from any metal fences or wires. Inside of your home you will want to try and avoid using anything that is plugged into the wall, such as corded phones.
What if lightning strikes your home? The biggest danger lightning poses to a house is fire. It is most common for lightning to start a fire in the attic or roof of a house. You may smell burning without seeing the fire, as the insolation in many attics may delay the flames. If that's the case, call the local fire department to make them aware of it.
A single lightning bolt can carry up to 1 billion volts and billions of watts of electricity.
That's why it is incredibly dangerous to be outdoors during a thunderstorm. If there is a severe thunderstorm heading to your location you may hear the storm sirens. We will have more about those tomorrow night at 6 when Severe Weather Week continues.
And don't forget, we have a bunch of links to get you prepared for the storm in the weather section on wane-dot-com

Three Episodes in…Ordinary Joe
ReviewsTVTV Reviews/Recaps
By: Norton
I wanted to like Ordinary Joe, I really did. The concept was right up my alley – as a person in a perpetual state of buyer's remorse it's fascinating to wonder "what if…?" Unfortunately, unlike the limited run Disney+ series of the same name, this "what if…?" adventure is much less satisfying.
Joe Kimbreau (played by Watchmen alum James Wolk) is just your average American straight white male. On the day of his college graduation his life has the opportunity to split into three separate paths:
He goes to the shore with his best friend/college sweetheart Jenny Banks (Elizabeth Lail) discovers she's pregnant, winds up in a shotgun wedding which leads to a barely surviving marriage ten years down the line.
He ghosts Jenny and hooks up with the girl he just met (while running late for his own graduation), Amy Kindelán (Natalie Martinez) resulting in what most would call the best timeline. Joe is a famous rock star with a hot wife, but sadly no kids.
He ghosts Jenny, and the new girl, and goes to dinner with his Uncle Frank (David Warshofsky) who convinces him to follow in his father's footsteps and become a cop. Cop Joe is the middle ground life – friends and family, no wife, no kids, but still plenty of options.
Joe's three alternate lives are separated using a color scheme – green for Nurse Joe (this is the Joe that married Jenny), red for Rock star Joe, and blue for Cop Joe. It's a decent try, but the color schemes can be hard to differentiate sometimes leading to inevitable confusion. Most of the time you can tell which Joe it is by the people around him.
Cop Joe's Jenny is married, hiding the truth of her son Christopher (John Gluck) from his biological father, while her statistician hubby Ray (Joe Carroll) worries he'll eventually find out and ruin their happy family. Although, it is fun to note that this Joe isn't interested in having kids because he wouldn't want them to have to suffer if he's killed on the job. Joe's best friend Eric Payne (Charlie Barnett) is married with a child on the way, his mother Gwen (Anne Ramsay) is constantly bothering him about dating, and he meets Amy because he winds up saving her boss, congressman running for reelection Bobby Diaz (Adam Rodriguez). Turns out Amy is having an affair with the married congressman, but has a thing for Joe. Best part of this timeline? Stat-daddy Ray! Seriously, the guy is barely there but when he is…
Nurse Joe's Jenny is one foot out the door on their marriage. Unfortunately, their son has disabilities and they weigh heavily on both his parents (worth noting that in all timelines his and Jenny's kid is disabled). It seems to have forced their relationship onto the back burner, which is a little weird given that this Joe is a nurse. A nurse. If any version of Joe should be capable of handling a disabled child shouldn't it be nurse Joe? Why does he seem to be oblivious about how important it would be to invest extra time into your marriage when you have a child that sucks up so much of your energy? Sadly, Jenny is made out to be the villain in this timeline (well, let's face it, all timelines have Jenny as the villain). Why can't she see how wonderful her husband is!? Why can't she put aside her dream job and dedicate herself more to her family!? Oh right…because she already did that. Twice – if you consider the third episode. Nurse Joe's mother has somehow never helped him out with Christopher, which I find impossible to believe. Given how much this woman wants her son to have a kid in the cop reality, there's no doubt in my mind that she would have pitched in, learned everything there is about how to deal with a disabled child, and let these two crazy kids have some fucking date nights. Which again, leads to Jenny being the bad guy – because it's Jenny who can't trust Joe's mom to watch their kid for two days so they can finally have some alone time. By the way, in this timeline Joe's best friend Eric is married to Amy after he asked her out when Joe didn't. And, lastly, adding another notch in the Jenny the villain column, Joe is a nurse under Jenny's father – Dr. Douglas Banks (Jack Coleman) – who is a controlling asshole.
Rock star Joe's Jenny isn't really in his life. In fact, she only re-enters his life because he goes to their 10 year anniversary. She works up the courage to reveal that she was pregnant with his child but chose to give it up for adoption. Famous Joe isn't a fan, but Jenny is determined to screw him out of a chance to be a father to his estranged son (whaaaat??? Jenny is the villain again!? No way! In case you're tone deaf, I'm being heavy on the sarcasm here). Her husband in this timeline is hapless Darren (Jason Burkey) who only sees Joe as a celebrity and gushes every time they interact. He has no idea Jenny gave a child up for adoption and why would it matter? This Jenny has two daughters with him, who are not disabled (as Stat-daddy Ray explained it was a recessive gene so the odds of her having another were slim). Famous Joe is married to Amy but their perfect life is marred by the lack of children – which is another plot point I can't get behind. Look, I know miscarriage is a real thing, and it's a struggle a lot of women go through, but why do people never consider adoption??? Seriously. If you can't have a child of your own why put yourself through expensive rounds of IVF just so you can have a genetic legacy if all you really wanted was a child. Because then you don't really want a child, you want a genetic legacy. I mean, Joe is fucking rich. He's a celebrity. Hell, celebrities who can have children naturally go out and adopt, it's pretty much like skiing or polo i.e. a rich person hobby. You're telling me that in the entire ten years these two have been married they never once considered adoption??? That's fucked up. And frankly, I'm tired of this storyline in every fucking media representation of infertility. Oh, I can't have a baby…but I'm also not going to adopt one. Instead, if I can't have a baby, I'll just have to settle for no baby at all! Now, the argument could be made that perhaps Amy's not bringing up adoption is evidence that she doesn't actually want kids at all – she's perfectly happy living together with Joe without them. Still, given how often this storyline comes up, that's rarely shown to be the case.
Famous Joe is also probably the worst of the Joes. He's hell bent on finding his son regardless of what consequences that might bring. He's willing to blackmail Jenny! I guess this isn't too surprising though, I mean, this is the Joe that's gotten everything he's ever dreamed of. He wouldn't exactly have perspective, eh?
All in all, Ordinary Joe isn't great to me. The two main women of the show seem to be cast in the same negative light, timeline notwithstanding. Amy is either a selfish wife who doesn't want to give her famous husband the family he so desperately craves and would rather pursue a political career, or a two-timing harlot sleeping with a married man while dating the heroic Cop Joe. I guess on the bright side, Amy is portrayed as a loving wife to Eric. And Jenny…poor Jenny. She's either the wife who tried to do right while sacrificing her marriage and her own personal dreams, the wife who lied to her husband about a child she had waaaaaay before they ever got married and is keeping that kid away from his biological father, or, the wife who is lying to her son's biological father because her husband is afraid their family will be at risk.
Joe himself becomes hard to know. Famous Joe and Nurse Joe are big on the kid thing, while Cop Joe doesn't seem too jazzed about the idea – granted he has understandable baggage about it but they all have the same baggage! Forcing the main character to exist as three versions of himself robs the audience of an in depth character study. Who is the real Joe? I mean, Famous Joe completely forgets about Jenny, while Cop Joe seems to have kept somewhat polite contact with her, and Nurse Joe clearly still loves her. Famous Joe loves Amy but not as much as he would love a wife who could give him a child, Cop Joe likes Amy – which might work out since infertility would save him from having a kid, and Nurse Joe only knows her as his best friend's wife. Not to mention the other side characters like Congressman Diaz – who has early onset Parkinson's in all three timelines but only knows about it in one.
It was a nice idea, but as Sliding Doors has shown, it is a better concept for a movie. I might give this show a few more episodes, might even finish out the season, but I wouldn't give it another unless it manages to turn things around drastically.

Die Pavel Bazhov (, dt. Transkription: Pawel Baschow) ist ein Flusskreuzfahrtschiff, das im Jahre 1961 in der DDR auf der VEB Mathias-Thesen-Werft Wismar als Schiff der Serie II 588 gebaut wurde und zur Rodina-Klasse (Projekt 588) gehört. Die deutsche Bezeichnung lautet BiFa Typ A (Binnenfahrgastschiff Typ A). Es trägt den Namen des sowjetischen Schriftstellers Pawel Baschow.

Beschreibung
Das Flusskreuzfahrtschiff mit der Baunummer 141 mit drei Passagierdecks wurde 1961 unter dem Namen Vilgelm Pik (, dt. Transkription: Wilhelm Pieck) in der DDR für die Sowjetunion in 72 Tagen gebaut, wobei die Schiffe mit anderen Namen erst in über 90 Tagen fertig waren. Es gehört zu einer von 1954 bis 1961 hergestellten Baureihe von 49 Schiffen des Typs Rodina, die in zwei voneinander abweichenden Serien vom Stapel liefen. Die erste Serie von elf Schiffen der V.-Chkalov-Klasse und seit 1957 die zweite Serie von 38 Schiffen der Kosmonavt-Gagarin-Klasse.

Geschichte
1961 bis 2012 wurde das Schiff von der Kama-Reederei in Perm (ГП Камское речное пароходство МРФ РСФСР) betrieben und war bis 1978 Flaggschiff der Kama-Reederei. 1992, mit dem Ersatz der Hauptmotoren durch stärkere, wurde das Flusskreuzfahrtschiff umbenannt. 1994 wurde die sowjetische Flagge von einer russischen ersetzt. Seit 1995 wird die Pavel Bazhov ständig modernisiert, wobei die Atmosphäre der 1960er Jahre erhalten bleibt. 2013 wird das Schiff von dem Reiseveranstalter Sputnik-RMK von Perm aus auf der Wolga, bis Jaroslawl im Norden und Astrachan im Süden, betrieben.

Technik
Das Schiff verfügt über einen dieselelektrischen Antrieb mit drei Hauptmotoren.

This rural water supply three-phase project will provide improved water to 2976 people in 4 Villages in Andoung Snay Commune in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia. The beneficiaries will support the sustainability of the project.
The project will be implemented by East Meets West staff based in Phnom Penh, with technical assistance from experts in East Meets West Vietnam. A Water and Sanitation User Group will be formed from members of the Commune to assist with project implementation. The project will also be supported by the Commune Council, Village Chiefs, and Provincial Department of Rural Development.
Design team recommended collecting further water sample to confirm the water quality during dry season.
With assistance from WSUG and PDRD we pumped the well for 2 hours and collected water sample for water quality testing. Water level in well recovered quickly once pumping had stopped.
Met lowest price tenderer for construction of the treatment system and pipe network to discuss and review the construction cost. After reviewing and discussions, the Contractor agreed to send a new schedule of quantities within this week. For the available construction budget, it is likely that the treatment plant will need to be reduced in size to supply 250-300 households.
EMW will follow up with design team regarding re-design of treatment system and the the contractor regarding proposed modifications.
The WSUG have a clear understanding of the issues and challenges faced during operation and management of a water supply system. They also learnt about methods to encourage the community to connect to the system, potential technical issues, dealing with maintenance issues, collecting fees, leakage in pipes / meters, and understanding how to build communication between their networking groups for assistance.
The WSUG emphasized that they are so happy with this opportunity to visit those pipe water supply system and get a clearer understanding of the importance of water and sanitation for community health and improve people access to safe drinking water. They said that these two site visits were very helpful and useful for them.
Please refer to the field trip report for more information.
Upon arrival at the site of the proposed new well, we discovered that the existing well is 45m deep and supplies 10 households with untreated water. However, there is only a little water available from the well during the dry season, it mostly dries up, and so is only used in the wet season. We discussed other potential locations, unfortunately the WSUG and PDRD were unable to identify any other suitable locations that have a good year round supply. We will therefore continue with the original well location and ensure the treatment plant is designed accordingly.
The WSUG have prepared a good hand drawn village map, indicating the location of roads and houses.
Discussed draft bylaw with WSUG and reiterated that it was their responsibility to review the document to ensure that they have a suitable bylaw.
With assistance from WSUG we pumped the well, taking measurements of water level regularly and collected water sample for water quality testing. Water level in well recovered quickly once pumping had stopped. Approximately a 100mm drop was noted in the adjacent dug well during the pumping (approximately 10m from new well).
Successful meeting with the WSUG to discuss the project, we conducted training for carrying out the household baseline survey, and a study tour to 3 schools in Kampong Chhnang. The WSUG were very happy with the visit, they appreciated the study tour and felt able to make an informed decision about their water supply.
The water supply system will be managed, operated and maintained by the Water and Sanitation User Group (WSUG). A fee for initial water supply connection and water use per litre will be collected to fund ongoing operation and maintenance. The fee will be set by Commune Council and WSUG. East Meets West will provide ongoing technical advice and will undertake monitoring and evaluation for 6 months following commencement of operation.
The Commune has only one available well location and the water quality is poor. The treatment plant will be designed to treat the poor quality water, though the cost of construction and operation will be higher.


On April 11, 1970, the Apollo 13 Saturn V rocket escaped from Earth's gravity and headed towards the moon. The astronauts on board were Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. Of the three, Lovell was the only one who had previously gone to the moon (on Apollo 8). However, that mission's objective was to orbit the moon only. For Lovell and Haise Apollo 13 presented the opportunity of a life time; they would get the chance to walk on the moon, so they thought.
Leading up to the mission Apollo 13 lacked the media attention given to the first two moon landings (Apollo 11 and 12). Understandably the first landing made history, and the second landing might have given the public the false impression that it was becoming routine. In the end Apollo 13 became perhaps the most dramatic and famous of all the Apollo missions.
It wasn't long before Mission Control realized that Apollo 13 would not be landing on the Moon. The objective had suddenly changed into a rescue mission. After the explosion Lovell looked outside through a window and noticed a gas escaping from the spacecraft. It was determined that the gas was oxygen. The implication of the loss of oxygen was significant. The Command Module (Odyssey) had now lost its normal supply of electricity, light and water. With the Command Module now compromised, the crew needed to find a way to preserve it for re-entry.
It was determined that the Command Module needed to be temporally shutdown and later re-powered for re-entry. This part of the spacecraft had to remain viable because it contained the heat shield. In the meantime all three astronauts would have to jam inside the Lunar Module (Aquarius), which was designed for a two-man moon landing. Mission Control was faced with procedures that had never been done before. They had to solve problems on the ground by writing procedures down and then testing them on the simulator before instructing the crew. There was no time to waste, so Haise and Lovell powered-up the Lunar Module while Swigert shut down the Command Module.
After a day and a half inside the Lunar Module the carbon dioxide levels became a chief concern. The Lunar Module was not equipped to handle a third astronaut for an extended period of time. Mission Control had to solve the problem by figuring out how to adapt the lithium hydroxide canisters from the Command Module to the Lunar Module. These canisters removed carbon dioxide from the spacecraft but the square canisters from the Command Module were not compatible with the round openings in the Lunar Module. From the ground the crew was instructed to use plastic bags, cardboard and tape to fit the Command Module canisters to the Lunar Module system. It worked and a potentially fatal problem was averted.
To facilitate the return trip Mission Control decided to use the moon's gravity and slingshot around. The spaceship's course had to be altered from a landing trajectory to a loop around the moon. Two initial burns were performed, one 35 second burn as they approached the moon; then a longer 5 minute speed-up burn two hours after going around the dark side of the moon. A third burn would later be required to adjust the spacecraft's trajectory before re-entry. All this had to be done with the Lunar Module even thought it was not designed for these maneuvers. However, out of necessity, Mission Control and the crew made it work.
The Lunar Module had to be preserved for an additional two days longer than it was designed for. Every nonessential system was turned off to conserve energy. This was necessary, however, it meant that the crew would have an unpleasant return trip. Temperatures dropped to near freezing, water was rationed and some food became inedible; the crew became hungry and dehydrated. For the next few days they got little sleep and Haise developed a kidney infection.
Despite the discomfort inside the Lunar Module it had done its job; now it was time to power-up the Command Module for the last leg of the journey. No one knew for sure how this would go. The Command Module had never been left in the deep freeze of outer space and then re-powered. Mission Control relayed the instructions and the crew wrote down the steps. This was no simple task, because there were over 500 steps to follow to the letter. Fortunately the Command Module came back to life.
A few hours before re-entry the Service Module was jettisoned and for the first time the crew was able to see the damage from the explosion. A whole panel had been blown off. One Oxygen tank had been completely destroyed and another one damaged. A NASA investigation later revealed that a spark from an exposed wire inside an oxygen tank caused the fire.
The Lunar Module was then let go and all that remained was the Command Module. There was a concern that the heat shield may have suffered some damage in the explosion. Nevertheless, at this point there was nothing that could be done about it. Re-entry was imminent; everyone held their breath and hoped that the heat shield would hold up. Normally a loss of communication of about four minutes is expected as the spacecraft enters the earth's atmosphere; however in this case it took an additional 1 minute and 27 seconds before communication was restored.
When word was finally received from the crew, Mission Control erupted in celebration. On April 17 the Command Module splashed down in the Pacific Ocean; at last they were home. Although Apollo 13 did not achieve what it initially set out to do, it did test Mission Control and three astronauts to their limit. Ironically, what could be viewed as a failed mission, turned out to be arguably Apollo's finest hour.

I was born in 1963, when the Apollo program was just beginning. I still have vivid memories of the last few Apollo missions (the program lasted until the early 70's). Apollo made quite an impression on a young kid. What a thrill it was for our home room school teacher to bring a television set to class, so we could watch the return of the astronauts from space. Back in those days the method of re-entry was called a splash down. As the Command Module passed through the atmosphere and approached the earth three parachutes opened. Then it all ended in a splash as the spaceship fell into the ocean. For some reason I have no recollection of the moon landings; perhaps they happened late at night, I don't know. I do, however, remember footage of the astronauts testing a vehicle on the surface of the moon called the Lunar Rover.
Despite the enthusiasm of many kids and science buffs, Apollo got off to a rocky start. On January 27, 1967 the first Apollo mission turned into a disaster when a fire ignited the Command Module. In a pre-flight test, astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee lost their lives. Later, investigators pointed to high levels of oxygen and exposed wiring as possible causes for the fire. In any event, Apollo 1 was the program's lowest point, but it would recover from this and eventually go on to make history.
Several missions were necessary before any attempt could be made at landing a man on the surface of the moon. Apollo 4 through 6 (Apollo never flew any spaceship with the name Apollo 2 or 3) were unmanned missions for the purpose of testing the Saturn V launch vehicle. The first manned Apollo mission was Apollo 7 which propelled the Saturn V into earth's orbit for a few rotations before re-entry.
The Saturn V rocket was a fascination for many kids. My older brother Gilles had a model of the final stage of the Saturn V. On his bedroom desk he displayed the Command and Service Modules, along with the Lunar Module. The Command and Service Modules would orbit the moon and the Lunar Module would land. In the eye of a young boy they looked just like the real thing. Each module could be separated manually and then resembled. I wonder what ever happened to that thing; it would be great to see it again.
With Apollo 8 things began to get a little more interesting. Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to enter lunar orbit. This was the first time that man experienced the dark side of the moon. The moon is in gravitational lock with the earth, therefore the same side is always facing us. As you might expect there wasn't much to see. Some astronauts described the experience of the dark side as eerie and foreboding. The fact that radio communication with ground control was lost behind the moon probably didn't help either.
The next step for NASA was to test the Lunar Module in maneuvers that would be needed in lunar orbit. However, Apollo 9 did this while orbiting the earth. The mission tested the Lunar Module as a self-sufficient spacecraft. Rendezvous and docking with the Command Module were also worked on. The dress rehearsal came next with Apollo 10. This mission accomplished everything that a moon landing would, except the landing. The Lunar Module separated from the Command Module and descended to about 9 miles of the lunar surface before re-joining the command ship. The stage was now set for achieving the ultimate goal of Apollo.
U.S. President John F. Kennedy set the bar high when on May 25, 1961 he stated that the nation should commit itself to sending a man on the moon and to bring him back safely. And to do this by the end of the decade. Unfortunately President Kennedy would not live long enough to see his vision realized.
Nevertheless, on July 20, 1969 the NASA Lunar Module (Eagle) landed on the surface of the moon. The decent took a little longer than expected and touched down with just seconds left of fuel allocated for landing. Almost immediately after landing, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin had to do a system check to make sure that they could remain on the moon. The tests were successful and the decision was to stay. Upon landing, mission control had scheduled a 4 hour sleep period for the astronauts. But Armstrong and Aldrin asked to delay the rest period and go ahead with preparations for a moon walk. I can certainly see their point; in reality, who's going to sleep just after landing on the moon.
Six hours after landing Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon. With his first step he spoke to the world, "one small step for (a) man one giant leap for mankind." Buzz Aldrin would join him several minutes later. Armstrong and Aldrin spent about 2 and a half hours on the moon (outside the spacecraft). Once both were back in the Lunar Module, all that remained was to return home safely.
After a little less than a day in total on the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin prepared for rendezvous with Michael Collins operating the Command Module (Colombia). Collins had been in lunar orbit awaiting his crew members. Due to weight restrictions the Lunar Module had only one engine designed for launch and it had to work. If it failed, there would be no way to rescue the men off the moon. In going through the launch sequence Aldrin noticed a broken circuit breaker; it was the one switch necessary for igniting the engine. Aldrin improvised by pushing a pen into the switch's remaining space, and it worked.
All three astronauts were then reunited as the Lunar Module docked successfully with the Command Module. The Lunar Module was then released into space and crashed on the surface of the moon. The crew headed for home as heroes. And on July 24, the Command Module splashed down as planed into the Pacific Ocean.
Apollo went on to land 5 more missions on the moon. But by Apollo 17 (the final Apollo mission) the luster was gone. Considering the exorbitant cost of the program and the lack of practicality of moon missions, Apollo was terminated. Some could argue that from a practical stand point, going to the moon did not accomplish very much. Could the money spent on Apollo have been used for better means? Did the U.S. go to the moon simply for political reasons, because of a so-called space race with the Soviet Union?

June is Pride Month, an annual celebration around the world of the LGBTQ+ community. An important symbol of Pride is the rainbow pride flag, with the colours of the rainbow commonly representing diversity in gay, lesbian and trans culture. To honour Pride celebrations, we take a look here at rainbows in medieval manuscripts and the colours used by scribes and artists to make them.
The conventional seven colours of the rainbow may be best remembered in Britain by the mnemonic 'Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain': R(ed), O(range), Y(ellow), G(reen), B(lue), I(ndigo), and V(iolet). Pigment colours used by scribes and illuminators were made from a variety of materials, including plants, minerals and animal sources. Ordinary dark writing ink was made from oak galls.
Many scribes prepared their own pigments, the colouring agent in paint. Pigments were made in a powder form, before being mixed with a binding medium such as glair (made with egg white), egg tempera (made with egg yolk), or gesso (a mixture containing gum).
Red and orange pigments were made with natural minerals, including a form of lead that when heated produces a vibrant orangey-red known as minium. Minium was commonly used to outline illuminations, giving the pictures in manuscripts the name 'miniatures' (not because they were small). Minium was a cheaper pigment in cost, and was also used in medicine and cosmetics.
The most common yellow pigment was made from a highly toxic substance containing arsenic, known as orpiment. Orpiment reflected light, similar to gold, but reacted easily to other pigments on the page. Yellow could be also produced organically from plant and mineral sources, including the luxury spice saffron that was imported from Persia and parts of Europe. Ochre was a cheaper alternative to saffron, and could be locally sourced in Bury St Edmunds, Oxford and the Forest of Dean.
A colourful diagram relating to music, in De artibus ac disciplinis liberalium litterarum by Cassiodorus, 9th–10th century: Harley MS 2637, f. 41v. This manuscript has been recently digitised by The Polonsky Foundation England and France Project.
Artists could find recipes for pigments in written works such as the De diversis artibus of Theophilus Presbyter (fl. c. 1070–1125). The British Library holds the most complete copy of this treatise, containing instructions for painting, glassmaking and metalworking. It includes recipes for 'Salt green' and 'Spanish green', types of verdigris, a green pigment produced through a chemical reaction with copper. Verdigris was very corrosive and was often mixed with saffron to last longer on the page.
Ultramarine blue was the most valuable pigment that artists could obtain, derived naturally from the mineral lapis lazuli. It was imported to Europe from Afghanistan and could cost as much as gold. Later medieval artists often used ultramarine blue for the robes of the Virgin Mary, saints and wealthy patrons to reflect their high status. A more affordable form of blue pigment known as citrimarine was manufactured from a copper compound called azurite.
Deep blue or indigo was a plant-based pigment, likely obtained in Europe from the leaves of the woad plant. Indigo was used to complement gold leaf and used in night scenes in manuscript illuminations.
Violet or purple colours could be made from mixing red and blue pigments, or made from plants and lichens. One rich purple dye known as Tyrian purple was extremely valuable in the eastern Mediterranean, as it was extracted in tiny quantities from live sea snails, the mollusc murex brandaris. A precious pigment, Tyrian purple was used as a dye for the imperial robes of certain Roman emperors. The dye was also used to colour whole pages in high-status manuscripts.
Together all of these fantastic colours make the colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky and in illuminated manuscripts alike!

Joe Bonamassa - Chattanooga, TN - 2014
Joe Bonamassa In Concert
Show Date: December 9, 2014
Venue: Chattanooga, Tennessee
Photo by http://www.jamespattersonsgallery.com
Who says that lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot? For me, the lightning of a Joe Bonamassa concert struck me twice this year. The first time taking place back in April in Lexington, Kentucky, and the second time was the night of December 9th at the Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
That Bonamassa bolt of musical lightning put on an absolutely amazing show.
Starting precisely at eight o'clock, Bonamassa and his band delighted the enthusiastic tri-state crowd with an eight song acoustic set. With a stompin' rendition of "Dust Bowl," Joe glided into "Jelly Roll," "Different Shades of Blue" (from his new CD of the same name), "Black Lung Heartache," "Happier Times," "Jockey Full of Bourbon," "Dislocated Boy," and "Athens to Athens."
Each and every song was brilliantly performed. The band was tight as tight can be. Joe's riffs were precise and flawless. While I absolutely love Joe's electric part of his shows, I could've also listened to the acoustic version all night long.
After precisely fifteen minutes of intermission time, Joe and the band hit the stage performing the first to cuts from "Different Shades of Blue," ("Hey Baby" and "Oh Beautiful") before seguing into "Hidden Charms."
Joe then invited fellow blues man, J. D. Simo to the stage to play along on "Double Trouble" and "Gave Up Everything For You." All I can say is, "Wow! Wow! Wow!" These guys tore it up! Thank you, Joe, for turning me on to Simo!
Bonamassa closed the show out with "Love Ain't A Love Song," "Sloe Gin," and "Ballad of John Henry" with the encore being, "Django" and "Mountain Time" (a personal favorite of mine).
If you haven't ever seen Joe Bonamassa live in concert, you're really missing out on an incredible treat. Check out his DVD's or look him up on YouTube. He's definitely on my short list of all time favorites.

Had a few experiences recently of young, clearly privileged hipsters (who I strongly suspect never took up any real political fights in their lives) telling me why we're doomed, doomed.
I very much like the concept that one has to earn one's detachment, one world-weariness, one's sardonicism. Go spend 10 years on the barricades, and then we'll commiserate about the burden of the world and the crooked timber of humanity. I'll even buy the first round.
Until then, go do your duty to humanity and contribute something… or make way for those who will.

Who will read my new book?
A tale of love and loss, betrayal and treachery, with an added element of mystery.
That is a summary of The Amazon's Girdle, which is now being prepared for publication.
But who are your readers? I keep being asked.
People like me, I tend to reply. I wrote a book that I would probably enjoy reading, so imagined other people might enjoy reading it too.
So just WHO are the people like you? I am asked. People who read books, I say. Good books. You know. Good reads.
Alas, this appears not to be an adequate answer.
Apparently I should have decided specifically WHO will want to read my book, WHERE such special people hang out, and WHY they should bother to order the extraordinarily low-priced paperback – or even the Kindle version – which will soon be available.
Not being experienced at, or even very good at, selling my own work, I turned to the Marketing Experts who throng the internet. They are all, without exception, devoted to helping new authors on the scene find lots of readers and make a fortune. Wonderful, generous people all. I was all set to follow their advice.
But now I discover I have started all wrong. I have learned that an aspiring author who writes a novel because she wants to write that particular novel, because it feels right, is committing an ERROR. A sensible author, I am told, decides on a genre before writing one word and sticks to it.
Now it seems I have a book which doesn't fit any genre neatly. In fact, it appears to cross several genres: a love story that goes terribly wrong, so perhaps contemporary women's fiction rather than romance; a teenager who discovers her life has been based on a lie and has to find a way of living with the truth, so perhaps Young Adult (YA); and a mystery, with a suggestion of murder, so, yes, mystery.
Which has posed somewhat of a quandary: today I passed the paperback version as ready for sale and couldn't decide where on the fiction shelves it should appear.
So, Beloved Readers, I'd love to have your help! In a separate blog, I shall post the blurb for you to examine, and if the book sounds at all appealing, then be brave and order it. Please. The Kindle Version is to be available very soon (yet more technology for me to get my head around, but I promise not to sleep until I've mastered it).
And then, if you like it, please let me know WHO you are, WHERE you look for a new book, and WHY. That will mean next time I shall know who my readers are!

The show was split into 2 sets with the first half consisting of prog masterpieces such as "One of These Days", "Time", "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Welcome to the Machine". The huge screen behind the band took the audience into space voyages whilst they performed those unforgettable songs but Roger Waters is also acclaimed for his folk and blues influenced ballads and when it was time for "Wish You Were Here" the audience reached their fervent peak.
A couple of the songs from the new album were also added to the set list but it was predominately the classic songs from albums such as 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals' and 'The Wall' that dominated the performance. A Sydney ensemble of teen dancers joined the band on stage and provided the backing choir for the anthem "Another Brick in The Wall part 2".
The 2nd set brought even more of a spectacle with a long double side screen coming on top of the audience to present more stunning visuals. The performance featured the songs "Dogs" and "Pigs" from an Orwellian 1977 concept album that imagines humanity divided into different animal groups. The visuals behind "Pigs" blatantly referenced Donald Trump's most moronic and bigoted quotes. In the end the message was clear to everyone in the audience: Trump is a pig and Waters is going to write it in big letters for all to see and for those who missed it a giant pig flew around the arena with trumps face on it.
Waters has always been fascinated by human greed and no song better exemplifies this than "Money", with its instantly recognizable bass riff it certainly went down well in front of the Sydney crowd. With such a huge production the final light show on display was the iconic pyramid breaking the light beam into a prism of colours shining through it. However there's only one song to close a Roger Waters show and that was the epic composition "Comfortably Numb" with arguably one of rock music's greatest guitar solos. It's no easy feat emulating David Gilmour's guitar prowess but Dave Kilminster did a fine job and brought the show to a grandiose closure.
Roger Waters' legacy is far too significant to extrapolate in just one review but it is evident that his life long dedication to writing songs forever cast on people's imaginations and his need to be critical of world leaders and of man's lust for greed and power is why Waters has remained relevant and has had such an extraordinary and long career. It's likely this will be his last tour to Australia but for young and old fans last night's show was unmatched for its quadraphonic surround sound and out of this world sensory visual production.

Q: How would I add the 5px padding across all the lines? How would I add the padding across all the lines? It only shows up on the first line.

Here's my code:
code {
  color: black;
  background-color: darken($background-color, 5%);
  border-radius: 4px;
  overflow: auto;
  padding-left: 5px;
}

A: Ok, let's say that you have the following code, you will notice that there is no extra space as you wanted in the result.
And I actually noticed that indentation matters check out the snippet below, to see how I wrote it in my editor.

  pre code {
        background-color: #eee;
        border: 1px solid #999;
        display: block;
    }

pre code {
        background-color: #eee;
        border: 1px solid #999;
        display: block;
        padding: 20px;
}

And check this out with some indentation. The result is going to change and two new lines are to be added. One at the top and one at the bottom.

 pre code {
        background-color: #eee;
        border: 1px solid #999;
        display: block;
        /* padding: 20px; */
    }

        pre code {
        background-color: #eee;
        border: 1px solid #999;
        display: block;
        padding: 20px;
}

The two new lines are called textNode they are added by the browser since there is space in the line. And every space you add is called textNode
I don't understand the process behind it completely but I think it is the reason you are having some extra lines or paddings you didn't even add.
And that's how it looks on the browser

and here is the result after removing the extra spacing.

Edit

Based upon your request.
Here is how the code looks in my editor

and here is how it looks in the browser

To add padding from all sides as I understood from your code all you need to do is to add the following.

/* CSS */
pre code {
  border-radius: 4px;
  overflow: auto;
  padding: 15px;
  color: black;
  background-color: #eee;
  border: 1px solid #999;
  display: block;
}

pre code {
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid #999;
display: block;
padding: 20px;
}

Another way to avoid all of this hassle is to use white-space: pre-line; here is how it looks on my editor.

pre code {
  border-radius: 4px;
  overflow: auto;
  padding: 15px;
  color: black;
  background-color: #eee;
  border: 1px solid #999;
  display: block;
  white-space: pre-line;
}

    code {
        background-color: #eee;
        border: 1px solid #999;
        display: block;
        padding: 20px;
            }

And there you go, the padding is working as expected make sure you are wrapping the code with a pre in order to get it to work correctly.
If that wasn't what you request do please let me know again. I will do my best to help you out.

A: There is most likely padding in the code for the text in the code blocks. Could you  try making that padding 0? I would post the code for it as well for a better chance of finding the issue.

Q: Parse Server Cloud Code Logging I have successfully set up my own Parse Server on AWS. I have not been able to implement logging that is visible in the dashboard, nor have I been able to locate log files on the server itself that pertain to cloud code. (there are console.log statements throughout the functions.)
I have found a few references, but nothing explicit as how to implement... (only experience with Node.js is to set up parse server)
This is a screenshot taken from https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server.
The "usage" described for the environment variable does not match the other environment variables such as appId or masterKey in the AWS configuration section. (the descriptor is in a separate column than the value, and there is no equal sign). If this goes in a file, which one? Is the path to file absolute or relative?

I also have "var logger=..." in require section & loggerAdapter in the "var=api.." section as seen in the link below. And yet, I cannot get logging to work.
https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/issues/1904
Any ideas or references to help clarify this?
Please no links back to the Parse Server main page on Github or blogs that copy the same information with no additional insight.

Eliza Jane Beach, Birth Date: 10 March 1819, Death Date: 15 August 1856,
Eliza Jane married Rufus Beach in Nauvoo on 21 January 1846, and Rufus came to Utah in 1847 with the Daniel Spencer/Perrigrine Session pioneer company, but Eliza Jane was not with him.

Her name appears as "Eliza Grant" on the 1850 Missouri census with Sains Grant, age 35, born in 1815 in France.  This census was taken on 2 September 1850, so we know that she came to Utah between 1851 and 1856, when she died in Utah.  Further research is needed to determine the year of her arrival and the name of the pioneer company with which she traveled.

All of the death records show her surname as variation of "Fosdick."  With her surname being "Grant" on the 1850 Missouri census, it is possible that she was married to a man with the surname of "Grant" before marrying Rufus Beach.

The below screenshot, is the box-score from yesterday's (4/26/11) baseball game between SLA and University City. As you can see, SLA was off to a strong start with 9 runs in the first inning after giving up 4. From that point on, we as a team were just on fire, like the 3 doubles from Ian Mclendon, T.J (not P.J) Nicolella, and on top of that we were stealing bases left and right when we reached. But that 17-6 win brings us to a 4-1 record going into our next game on 4/28/11 against Strawberry Mansion HS.
