Cash crunch looms at Kenya Power after price cuts

Firm's managers are keen to avoid expressing displeasure publicly over the new lower tariffs.
Privately, the company feels it is being forced to single-handedly shoulder the burden of reducing electricity prices.
Cash-strapped utility firm Kenya Power Company is set for tougher times after the government significantly slashed electricity prices, in a move that is likely to return the firm into loss-making territory.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) last week reduced the energy charge for domestic lifeline consumers by Sh2.3 per unit to Sh7.7, down from the previous Sh10 adopted in November 2018.
Meanwhile, domestic consumers whose monthly consumption exceeds 100kWh but is below 15,000kWh will now pay Sh12.6 per unit, down from Sh15.8, a 20 per cent reduction.
Kenyans to pay less for electricity
Business Jan 12
PRIME Why Uhuru order on low-cost power has failed
But the firm's managers are keen to avoid expressing displeasure publicly over the new lower tariffs, so as not to be seen standing in the way of President Uhuru Kenyatta's efforts to lower the costs of electricity.
Privately, however, the company feels it is being forced to single-handedly shoulder the burden of reducing electricity prices despite being only an implementer of questionable government policy decisions.
These include signing on independent power producers (IPPs) without proper demand forecasting to economically justify the investment.
Most of the contracts run for an average of 20 years.
The company only bounced back from a Sh939 million net loss in the 2019/20 financial year to post a Sh1.49 billion after-tax profit for the year to June, boosted by higher earnings from electricity sales.
The lower tariffs come even as the firm buys power from private producers at a higher price than it sells it for, a situation that is set to worsen.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu's report on Kenya Power for the year to June shows that the firm buys 70 per cent of its electricity (from KenGen) at about Sh5.3 per kilowatt hour, well below its selling price.
But Ms Gathungu noted that the company buys 30 per cent of its electricity - from IPPs - at an average of Sh15.3 per unit and sells it at an average of Sh15.6 per unit, which means it is selling at a loss.
"The company, therefore, entered into very expensive contracts with IPPs and was in some instances selling power below the cost price," said Ms Gathungu.
However, the government is betting on convincing IPPs to lower their prices in negotiations that are expected to be completed before the end of March.
Failed bids for higher tariffs
The company has been fighting for years to increase its electricity prices by up to 20 per cent, citing rising operational costs that needed a corresponding increase in revenues.
Last year, Kenya Power called for an expert to help it craft a compelling tariff to be submitted to Epra.
"Whereas the company needs sufficient revenues for sustenance of its services, the power pricing in Kenya is regulated by the government," Kenya Power told bidders in the Details of Service (DoS) document accompanying the tender.
"A key challenge over the last three years has been either delays in the review and/partial approval of the required revenues.
"The last tariff granted in 2018 was delayed for two years, a period within which the company could not recover return on investment (nor) was it compensated for incremental operating expenditure. The latest tariff application has so far been delayed for close to two years impacting negatively on the company's financial performance."
Insolvent
The company is insolvent, with liabilities of Sh116.11 billion compared with assets of just Sh49.63 billion as of June, leaving it in the red for the fifth year running.
The firm owes Sh6.17 billion to customers in electricity security deposits and is betting that it will not be called upon to reimburse them in the near future, despite an increasing switch to prepaid meters and to cheaper power sources, in which instances consumers claim refunds.
"Customer deposits are held as a non-current liability because the Company will continue to offer services to the customers for the foreseeable future and the customers are not expected to discontinue their use of electricity in the short run," says the firm in its annual report.
It also has commitments of Sh11.66 billion to several ongoing projects and Sh4.76 billion to projects that are yet to start.
Kenya Power also owes Sh24.7 billion to KenGen, Sh23.19 billion to IPPs, Sh6.1 billion to suppliers, a Sh5.54 billion wheeling charge owed to Ketraco, and Sh12.09 billion to the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (Rerec).
Government bailouts
The National Treasury told the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Kenya Power and troubled Kenya Airways are the two strategic state-owned entities that present the highest fiscal risk to the budget over their need for urgent multibillion-shilling bailouts to stay afloat.
For Kenya Power, lower revenues from cheaper tariffs will expose it to more financial trouble, making it ever more reliant on bailouts from state coffers.
"By December 2021, we will prepare an action plan that lays out how Kenya Power's identified Sh110 billion liquidity gap will be covered in the medium term," the Treasury said.
The Treasury said it will inject Sh7.5 billion into the firm in the current financial year to help it address its financial woes.
However, the government wants to radically reform the company in a turnaround strategy that seeks to cut corruption and wastage, and make it leaner for efficiency even with lower earnings.
Part of this plan is to boost revenues from sources such as unpaid bills from customers that have hit Sh29.66 billion, reduction of system losses and restructuring the company's commercial debt.
The firm spends about Sh20 billion annually to service debt.
It also includes restructuring the firm and staffing levels, in a move that will trim its over 10,000 workforce.
The planned reforms also target Kenya Power's procurement to boost stock management in a bid to lower unnecessary spending on new projects and equipment that have bled the company of billions of shillings.
Kenya Power declined to comment on whether it has the capacity to absorb the impact of lower tariffs and whether it had expressed any concerns over the impact of the tariff to Epra before submitting the tariff review application.
The Ministry of Energy and Epra could not be reached for comment on how the government plans to plug the expected revenue shortfall at Kenya Power.
Politics 1 hour ago


We've all been there. You're out and about, on a sunny day, when all of a sudden the clouds gather and it starts to rain. It's not a light shower, either, but that apocalyptic type of rain storm that looks like all the rain in the world is going to fall before it stops.
If only there were some useful headwear that could deal with the problem of getting wet without you having to carry an umbrella in your bag and get it out ... an umbrella that could automatically open at the first hint of rain, and keep you genuinely dry.
Something roughly equating to this scenario has clearly been going around the mind of YouTuber Richard of the Lingonsaft channel ... well, why else would he have constructed a hard-hat-mounted umbrella, complete with an Arduino and water sensor to detect rain?
In the video above, you'll get an idea of what is involved, with a speeded-up look at the construction of the hat, along with a few amusing tests. In short, the umbrella is attached to the top of the helmet, along with the servo, which features a release mechanism to open the umbrella. At the back of the helmet, the water sensor is situated, while between the bottom of the umbrella and your head is the Arduino, connected to a battery.
Once rain strikes, and hits the sensor, the code in this Arduino sketch triggers the servo. Strategically-placed elastic bands hold the umbrella in its 'closed' position, but once the servo activates, the umbrella springs open, ready to shield the wearer from the elements.
Now clearly this is a design missing elegance; the wearer looks utterly ridiculous. However, it's damn clever, don't you think? With a bit of time, a build like this could be reworked, or even repurposed. Perhaps a patio table with an automatically-opening canopy or parasol for particularly sunny weather for instance, or a similar device on a pram or pushchair.

"Doctoral Study in Accounting: Costs and Financial Support" by Joseph V. Carcello, Dana R. Hermanson et al.
This study analyzes the costs of doctoral study and the financial support available to accounting doctoral students. This information should be useful to prospective students and to faculty who advise them. Accounting chairpersons and doctoral students at the vast majority of U.S. doctoral programs responded to two surveys. The main findings are: (1) the direct costs of pursuing a doctorate are low (approximately $1,500 per year), while the total estimated opportunity cost of obtaining a doctorate is high (over $90,000); (2) doctoral students have average income of approximately $15,700 per year and average total support (including loans, savings, and spousal support) of approximately $22,500 per year; (3) approximately 55 percent ($12,500) of the students' total support comes from the university, and almost all students receive university financial support during the first three years of the program; and (4) financial support packages are more generous at "first tier doctoral programs.

Governor Hochul Issues Proclamation Celebrating Climate Week in New York State
Proclamation Reaffirms New York's Commitment to Tackle Climate Change, Achieve Nation-Leading Climate and Clean Energy Goals
Governor Kathy Hochul today issued a proclamation announcing September 19-25, 2022 as Climate Week in New York State. The announcement reaffirms New York's commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, make communities more resilient, and drive action to tackle climate change and create new opportunities for all New Yorkers. Climate Week is observed in New York City each year, with this year marking the 14th year as the biggest global event of its kind.
"New York is implementing the nation's most ambitious plan to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions that are affecting our climate and advancing a clean energy economy to reach our aggressive targets as part of the Climate Act," Governor Hochul said. "Our transformative investments in renewable and sustainable projects and infrastructure are ensuring that New York is at the forefront of climate action with a focus on environmental justice to benefit all New Yorkers for years to come."
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the nine years from 2013 through 2021 rank among the 10 warmest years on record, with 2021 being the sixth-warmest year on record. Severe storms and flooding, extreme heat, drought, and air pollution have threatened New Yorkers' health and quality of life, and our infrastructure continues to be threatened by climate-related hazards including sea level rise, coastal flooding, and intense precipitation events.
In 2019, New York State enacted the nation-leading Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) requiring a reduction in statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030, and 85 percent by 2050, putting the State on a path to carbon neutrality. The 22-member New York State Climate Action Council was created pursuant to the CLCPA and released a Draft Scoping Plan to meet the greenhouse gas emissions limits for public comment and will complete a Final Scoping Plan by the end of the year.
New York State is putting environmental justice front and center with a commitment to provide disadvantaged communities with 35 percent, with a goal of at least 40 percent, of overall benefits from investments in clean energy and energy efficiency. The CLCPA also establishes the most aggressive clean energy agenda in the nation, requiring 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030, and 100 percent zero-emission electricity by 2040.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner and Co-Chair of the State Climate Action Council Basil Seggos said, "New York State is taking bold action to reduce climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health and quality of life of New Yorkers, and protect the environment. The work of the Climate Action Council is helping to ensure we meet our aggressive climate targets outlined in the Climate Act and prioritize disadvantaged communities that have been historically overburdened by climate change. This Climate Week, we join with our local, state and federal partners in advancing our collective goals for a cleaner, brighter future."
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority President and CEO and Climate Action Council Co-Chair Doreen M. Harris said, "This Climate Week is a reminder that New York is uniquely poised under Governor Hochul's leadership to capitalize on this moment and address climate challenges head-on for the benefit of all New Yorkers. NYSERDA looks forward to continuing its work to reduce the state's carbon footprint, make our communities more resilient, and through the Climate Action Council's thoughtful planning and collaboration, create new opportunities for future generations as we work together to achieve our nation-leading climate and clean energy goals."
New York Power Authority Interim President and CEO Justin E. Driscoll said, "It's important to take this moment during Climate Week to recognize the collaborative state effort to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. Under Governor Hochul, New York State is redoubling its efforts to decarbonize the economy through investments in transmission resiliency, renewable generation, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency measures."
New York State has more than 120 solar, land-based wind, and offshore wind projects under development across the State that will be capable of providing over 66 percent of New York's electricity with renewable sources once completed. The State is also investing in the increased resilience and reliability of the transmission system through the development of numerous high-impact projects that will enable the efficient transfer of renewable power throughout the State.
As a leader in the transition to clean and renewable energy, New York State is investing in innovative technologies that are creating new economic opportunities across the State, including programs like NY-Sun, ReCharge NY, NY Green Bank, as well as programs to assist communities to implement locally-based climate action, including the statewide community air monitoring initiative, Climate Smart Communities program, Clean Energy Hubs, BuildSmart2025, Smart Street Lighting NY, Evolve NY, and Charge NY.
New York State's Nation-Leading Climate Plan
New York State's nation-leading climate agenda is the most aggressive climate and clean energy initiative in the nation, calling for an orderly and just transition to clean energy that creates jobs and continues fostering a green economy as New York State recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Enshrined into law through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York is on a path to achieve its mandated goal of a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040, including 70 percent renewable energy generation by 2030, and to reach economy wide carbon neutrality. It builds on New York's unprecedented investments to ramp-up clean energy including over $35 billion in 120 large-scale renewable and transmission projects across the state, $6.8 billion to reduce buildings emissions, $1.8 billion to scale up solar, more than $1 billion for clean transportation initiatives, and over $1.6 billion in NY Green Bank commitments. Combined, these investments are supporting nearly 158,000 jobs in New York's clean energy sector in 2020, a 2,100 percent growth in the distributed solar sector since 2011 and a commitment to develop 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2035. Under the Climate Act, New York will build on this progress and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, while ensuring that at least 35 percent with a goal of 40 percent of the benefits of clean energy investments are directed to disadvantaged communities, and advance progress towards the state's 2025 energy efficiency target of reducing on-site energy consumption by 185 trillion BTUs of end-use energy savings.

Hasan Minhaj Delivers A Rockstar Performance In 'Homecoming King'
By Ruben Diaz
The Daily Show is a staple of news satire that's been around for nearly 20 years. Many great comedians got their start along that road of political humor. Steve Carrell, John Oliver, Steven Colbert, and more broke through to stardom on the Comedy Central series. Hasan Minhaj is a current correspondent who's making quite a name for himself. Hasan's bits on The Daily Show lead to him headlining the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year. Now, Minaj is the star of his first Netflix Comedy Special called Homecoming King.
Hasan takes viewers on a wild ride through his life.
From start to finish, Minaj is telling stories. The comic's electric stage presence comes through with every word. Like a movie, the special has a running plot through it of the girl who could be called Hasan's first love. It was in high school, and the girl was going to be Hasan's "secret" prom date. The special night a secret to two influential people — Hasan's parents.
Hasan takes viewers on a wild ride through his life. The prom date punctuates different parts with a new lesson for the comedian. Along the way, Hasan uses tweets and graphs on a giant screen behind him as visual aids. Sometimes, social becomes a brilliant punchline, like when Minhaj learns that his one-time prom date, now an adult, is dating another brown Muslim guy.
Perhaps nothing provides such power to this comedy special than Minhaj's religion. As a Muslim, the comedian repeatedly reminds us of what that life is like, both good and bad. The special is a brilliant guide through a Muslim-American family life littered with many of the same tropes as most families. But the parts alien to non-Muslims are made real by Hasan's performance.
One word best describes Homecoming King: spellbinding.
Homecoming King is a comedy special that could just as easily be called a one-man play. Hasan is not afraid to let the set becomes deeply emotional, like raw drama. Hasan tells heartbreaking moments of racism and failure. But also finishing stories with a happy ending provided by becoming a better person.
Director Christopher Storer stands out here as well which is rare for a comedy special. But his work accentuates the words of Hasan every step of the way. Sometimes it's subtle, a close up of Hasan who carries the moment by looking right into the camera. But quick wide shots play as exclamation points to Hasan's physical antics.
One word best describes Homecoming King: spellbinding. Hasan takes the reigns, and the ride is a vibrant journey through the comedian's life. The trip includes Hasan's audition for The Daily Show which was a near disaster.
Hasan is an American who happens to be Muslim who happens to be a nerd who happens to be on a television show. Hasan is also an insightful human who just delivered a comedy special that ranks as one of the best of the year and perhaps even the last few years.

Development of organic farming occured in a series of stages like the amplification of organic concepts and methods, polarization around them, their recognition, accommodation and their extension. Priorities in agriculture research are gradually moving from a focus on individual crop performance to a total system productivity with due attention on product quality, environmental safety and human health.
Organic refers to food grown without the use of artificial fertilizers, sewage sludge, conventional pesticides, herbicides, antibiotic, genetically modified organisms or human waste and processed without the use of insecticides, ionizing radiation, artificial colouring, food additives, or artificial flavouring.
Organic certification is the public's affirmation that the products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs. When you see that product has been certified organic, you can rest be assured that the product is genuinely organic and that the reliability of the product is maintained from farm to plate.
It is also called 'Biological' or 'Ecological'.
Till three decades ago the importance of food as a major determinant of health has been based on the fact that it contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and mineral essential for growth, development and normal upkeep of body tissues. As well as it also contains large array of chemical substances that influence cell metabolism and thereby exert significant effect on health/disease processes. On the other hand organic food, which has no chemicals, pesticides, harmful fertilizers, herbicides residue etc play not only a health promoting but also a disease-preventing role.
The major benefits of organic food like……..
Organic crops has significantly higher levels of all 21 nutrients analysed compared with conventional produce including vitamin C (27% more), magnesium (29% more), iron (21% more) and phosphorous (14% more).
It reduce the risk of Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Heart related problems etc… thus plays not only health promoting but also a disease preventing role.
Farmers can grow number of produce on land, thus preserving diversity.
It prevents water contamination and erosion of soil.
Organic food has no chemicals, pesticides, harmful fertilizers, herbicides residues etc.
It is eco friendly and natural.
* Above substances are not found in organic food products.

Q: Using config file for logging in python i wrote function for logging in python:
def go_logger(name_of_file):
    formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(message)s')
    logging.basicConfig(filemode='a', datefmt='%m-%d-%Y')
    logger = logging.getLogger(name_of_file)
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    handler = closehandler.ClosingHandler(os.path.join('/path/to/logs', filename), mode='a')
    handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(handler)
    return logger

And it works. I can call this function, like this:
LOG = host_utils.go_logger('wwe.log')

How you can see, i can call my function with writing into different log files.
But i want to use config file. Using config (from official documentation of python):
logging.config.fileConfig(fname, defaults=None, disable_existing_loggers=True)

Ok, fname this is name of config, but how i can use placeholder for name of file for log ?
Part of writing to file from config:
[handler_handler]
class=handlers.FileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=Formatter
args=('wwe.log','a')

Do you see, args=('wwe.log','a'). How can i put placeholder, instead name of log of file ? I repeat, i want to call function, like i did with help of my method:
LOG = host_utils.go_logger('wwe.log')
But with using config file. What can you advice me ?

A: You can use the keys of the defaults dictionary as place holders in the configuration file.
Since your other question uses place holders, I assume you figured that out, but here's a full, runnable example from your other question, in case others have the same problem:
import logging.config

def get_logger(logfilename):
    config_file = ('config.txt')
    logging.config.fileConfig(config_file, defaults={'logfilename': logfilename}, disable_existing_loggers=False)
    logger = logging.getLogger("main")
    return logger

logger = get_logger('scratch.log')
logger.info('Hello, World!')

Here's the config file with the logfilename place holder:
[loggers]
keys=root

[handlers]
keys=fileHandler

[formatters]
keys=Formatter

[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=fileHandler
qualname=main

[handler_fileHandler]
class=FileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=Formatter
args=('%(logfilename)s', 'a', 'utf8')

[formatter_Formatter]

Xiaomi Mi Max phablet Chinese, looked forward to a formal submission on May 10, back to talk himself with a series of photos that appeared on the popular social networking site Weibo.
The shots this time do not directly relate to the Terminal, but are dedicated to what appears to be a first official cover Ulta-Slim Soft Case, complete with box and logo. The images of the cover is confirmed by the large size of the phablet, which should mount a display from 6.4 ", although the latest indications suggest a possible 6.7 inch diagonal". The cover also shows the space devoted to the inevitable fingerprint sensor on the rear, the slot for the port USB Type-C and what appear to be two slots dedicated to audio speaker.
On financedns.com, there are still many doubts regarding the hardware configuration of Xiaomi Mi Max, because the Terminal is indicated both as a possible top of the range, then display with QHD and Snapdragon 820, both as a powerful medium end with Snapdragon 650, display FullHD and 2/16 GB of RAM/courtyard.
Obviously we are accustomed to the presence of different configurations of the same terminal as regards products Xiaomi, so it's reasonable to expect variations with quantities of internal RAM and much more tasty.


With the acquisition of Motorola last month we can expect Lenovo to ramp up its smartphone lineup for the US market. As of today, Lenovo has introduced smartphones in 25 countries for the past two years. At MWC, the Chinese manufacturer announced three new affordable smartphones in its popular S-Series: the S860, the S850 and the S660.
The S860 offers a 4000 mAh high capacity battery for an all-day of intense usage, according to the manufacturer the S860 delivers up to 24 hours of talktime over 3G connections and stand by up to 40 days. The Lenovo S860 boasts a 5.3-inch wide view HD display, a Quad Core MTK processor, 2GB RAM, a dual SIM, a wide angle 1.6 MP front camera, a 8 MP rear camera and a flash equipped rear camera.
To give some prospective on this, most recent phablets feature batteries in the 3,200 to 3,400 mAh range. The 6.1-inch Huawei Mate 2 is the only one to carry a 4000 mAh battery, and, given the huge size of its display compared to the Lenovo S860, a lot of the power is used to light the pixels on the screen.
The Lenovo S860, will be available in selects markets and at www.lenovo.com for a starting price of $349.

"It doesn't look that deep," is probably what the men in this photo thought before they attempted to cross a deceptive stream on the Navajo reservation. Photo is by Adam Clark Vroman, 1901. "Something that happened on the trip," it says on the back. They were evidently on the way to Walpi and Tewa, both Hopi towns, at that time a remote part of Arizona.
Vroman died in 1916 and his photographs were forgotten until Lawrence Clark Powell, then librarian at U.C.L.A., initiated a search for the lost negatives in 1953. The search was successful, saving some real treasures. Part of his impressive collection, including these two photos, is on display in a book I own called, "Photographer of the Southwest: Adam Clark Vroman, 1856-1916."

Hostal Acosta was a great place to stay in Havana. The staff were lovely and friendly and the rooms clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the included breakfast every day and the location made it close to many major sites in Havana. Would recommend this Casa in Havana!
4 out of 5	Casa Hostal Acosta one of the best!
Highly recommend for location, cleanliness, quiet rooms with updated bathrooms. good hot water pressure too! Lovely hosts excellent breakfast, all around great experience. Our only disappointment was that we only stayed 1 night.
5 out of 5	Beautiful casa with the best and nicest hosts, we had on our Cuba trip.
We stayed in Casa Hostal Acosta for 4 nights (just opend in August 2017). It was the most stylisch and nicest casa I have found on the web in Havanna and it was even nicer then expected. Specially the livingroom with balcony is a dream. The flat is perfectly located in the old town of Havanna. Even that the road looked really dark in the beginning, it is aboslutly safe. Everything is close to walk at. Mandy and Alejandro are really helpful, nice and gentle host and speak very good english. Cuba is a loud country, bring earplugs, you will need them all over the countery.
Sending this form you will be in contact with the owner of Casa Hostal Acosta within minutes.

Q: How to format the output of ls? I would like to output all headers in a directory. There is one entry per line and each line should begin with four whitespaces and should end with a whitespace and a '\' character.
____header1.h_\
____header2.h_\
____header3.h_\

I already figured out how to make the output one entry per line.
ls -1 *.h

But I do not know how to do the formatting. Where should I look to learn more complicated formatting?
EDIT:
All the scripts in all the answers produce the desired output. I wish I could accept all answers.

A: ls -1 *.h | sed 's/^/    /' | sed 's/$/ \\/'

Alternatively, you could say:
ls -1 *.h | sed 's/.*/    & \\/'

A: see
find . -maxdepth 3 -type f -iname "*" -printf "%h,%f,%CY-%Cm-%Cd %CT,%s,%u,%M\n"

A: ls -l *.h|awk '/\.h/{print "    "$0" \\"}'

Or in a more simple way in awk:
> ls -1 *.h | awk '$0="    "$0" \\"'

Tested :
> ls -1 *.hh
Algorithms.hh
Timer.hh
a.hh
> ls -1 *.hh | awk '/\.hh/{print "    "$0" \\"}'
    Algorithms.hh \
    Timer.hh \
    a.hh \
>

Or you can use perl:
ls -1 *.h | perl -plne '$_="    ".$_." \\";'

A: You can use printf and shell globbing rather than attempt to format ls output.
Try something like:
$ printf '    %s \\\n' *.h
    a.h \
    b.h \
    c.h \

ls is really meant as an "interactive" tool for humans, avoid using it for anything else.

A: ls -l *.h|rev|ts "\\"|rev|ts "   "

( if ls output is not an interactive terminal, it will display filenames line by line)


The Ironman World Championship. Every year it happens on the second Saturday in October in Kona, Hawaii.
It's been exactly 25 years since the most dramatic race so far took place. A duel lasting 8 hours 9 minutes and fourteen seconds between Mark Allen and Dave Scott.
We're honored to have that day's victor with us on the show. That's Mark Allen. He's now a coach, a mentor and guide in the fields of triathlon, endurance sports in general and in the art of living. He's also recently produced an inspiring book called The Art of Competition – a series of 90 quotations illustrated with stunning scenes of nature.
Before we jump into the interview, it's worth highlighting some of Mark's many accomplishments: Winning the Ironman World Championships the six years in a row he competed; 10 victories in the ITU Olympic Distance World Championships. And how about this? He was named "The Greatest Endurance Athlete Of All Time" in a worldwide poll conducted by ESPN in 2012.
With (Thomas) Hellriegel (in 1995), I was racing a guy who'd passed me on the bike and I didn't see again for hours. It was very hard mentally to keep going and say this is something that could turn around.


With the conquest of Anatolia by the Turks and the beginning of the process of Islamization and Turkification, Akhi nicknamed persons and their monotheisms began to appear almost everywhere in the region. The famous traveler Ibn Battuta, who traveled to Anatolia at the beginning of the 14th century, has often been received the hospitality of the Akhis, has been accommodated in his tekke and has given extensive information about the Akhis in his works. Having an active role in the socio-cultural, economic, and even political life of Anatolia in the 13th-15th century, the Akhis, even in a weak level, were able to protect their existence. The Akhis and the organization they belong to (Akhism) attracted the attention of researchers especially in the last century, and many different and sometimes contradictory views have been put forward about them. This study is an attempt to evaluate the researches related to the subject critically by taking advantage of the main sources related to the subject and to get an idea about the authority of the Anatolian Akhism. In the first part of this work, which is composed of four chapters, the philosophy of futuwwa is examined, by taking into consedration its origins, its historical development and its relation with the Akhism. In addition, attempts have been made to identify the Akhis in the non-Anatolian Middle Ages Islamic world. In the second chapter, the Akhi organization in Anatolia was subjected to a historical inquiry by discussing its entrance to Anatolia and its historical development with an account of the thesis that it was a Turkish institution.

Q: python super question I have a syntax question about python's super() and multiple inheritance. Say I have class A and B, both of which have a method hello(). I have a class C that inherits from both A and B, in that order.
How do I call the hello() method of B explicitly from C? Seems simple enough, but I can't seem to find the syntax for it.

A: To call B's hello method explicitly from C:
B.hello(self,...)

A: >>> class A(object):
    def hello(self):
        print "hello from A"

>>> class B(object):
    def hello(self):
        print "hello from B"

>>> class C(A, B):
    def hello(self):
        print "hello from C"

>>> c = C()
>>> B.hello(c)
hello from B
>>> # alternately if you want to call it from the class method itself..
>>> class C(A, B):
    def hello(self):
        B.hello(self) # actually calling B

>>> c = C()
>>> c.hello()
hello from B

A: You might want to consider using super()–instead of the hard-coded B.hello()–, as explained in Python's super() considered super.  In this approach, C.hello() uses super() and automatically call A.hello(), which in turn uses super() and automatically calls B.hello(), with no hard-coding of class names.
Otherwise, B.hello() is indeed the normal way to do what you want.

A: Remember that Python calls superclass methods from right to left.

The Celtics wore out the great Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, and they did it with defense
By Dan Shaughnessy Globe Staff,Updated May 15, 2022, 7:51 p.m.
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo realized the Celtics' lead was insurmountable late in the game.Jim Davis/Globe Staff
The Bruins' season ended Saturday. The Red Sox season feels like it ended in April. The Patriots offseason has been wildly underwhelming.
It was left to the Men in Green to keep things interesting around here and the Celtics did not disappoint Sunday, with a 109-81 Game 7 victory over the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. Veterans Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart will take their talents to South Beach for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night at FTX Arena.
A raucous Causeway Street crowd chanted "Beat the Heat!" in the closing seconds of the first rout of the series.
Celtics-Bucks 2022 was every bit the Ali-Frazier matchup we'd hoped to see; an exhaustive, two-week, 15-round heavyweight bout with four contests won by road teams and zero carryover from game to game. We saw smashmouth basketball for the full 48 minutes every night.
Game 7 was one final rock fight, with the winners shooting 42 percent, compared with 36.7 percent for the losers. The Celtics trailed by 10 in the first half and it wasn't until late in the third that Boston finally broke the worthy Bucks, opening up a 16-point lead and pushing it to 28 by game's end. Grant Williams emerged as Boston's Deer Hunter in the finale, scoring 27 points, draining 7 of 18 from international waters.

Bounce around the NBA with our Celtics-centric look at the latest happenings on and off the court.

"Extremely proud," said Celtics rookie head coach Ime Udoka. "We showed some resiliency . . . We bounced back (from blowing a 14-point lead in Game 5) and showed our resolve."
The Celtics took a whopping 55 threes in the finale, making 22 but strange as it sounds, Boston won because of defense. The Celtics are in the Final Four because of defense. They have a chance to win the fabled franchise's 18th flag . . . because of defense.
Many of those 17 banners in the Garden rafters are owed to great team defense. Bill Russell was the greatest practitioner of defense in American sports history, winning 11 championships in 13 seasons without needing to shoot the basketball. Russell was supported by stellar backcourt defender K.C. Jones and both won multiple championships with the Celtics as players and head coaches.

Perhaps not coincidently, Boston's 44-year-old coach played one year of college basketball at the University of San Francisco, where Russell and K.C. won 56 straight games and two NCAA championships. Perhaps Udoka soaked up some of the defensive wisdom and karma of the 1950s Dons.
One thing Russell and K.C. taught was playing hard and showing up every night and this is what Udoka and the Celtics did April 10 in the regular-season finale in Memphis. While half the league elected to tank and rest (including the Bucks, who intentionally lost to avoid Brooklyn in the first round), the Celtics routed the Grizzlies. Walking in Memphis with their feet 10 feet off of Beale Street ultimately gave the Celtics the edge against the Bucks. It vaulted Boston ahead of Milwaukee in playoff seeding.
"That's why we played it out — to have home-court advantage in Game 7," Udoka said.
Related: 'We didn't want it to be over:' How the Celtics marched past the defending champs and into the Eastern Conference finals
The Celtics effectively won Game 7 in the third quarter, specifically when Tatum went to the bench with his fourth foul (a questionable charging violation). Boston led by 10 at that juncture, then proceeded to put it away with a 13-5 surge, punctuated by a couple of Williams 3-pointers. With Tatum anchored to the pine, the Celts pushed their lead to 16 and settled for a 79-64 lead at the end of three quarters.
"That was our execution," said Williams (Boston's new Steph Curry). "It was a team effort with Jayson out. We were excited to be able to play and he was cheering us on and that's a special thing to have."
Sadly, this stretch of Boston dominance coincided with a trio of NBA officials attempting to ruin the fan experience by calling everything. It had to be darn near unwatchable for folks watching from home across NBA America, but nobody at the Garden cared.
In the fourth quarter we saw the ultimate collapse of the noble Giannis Antetokounmpo. The two-time MVP, who carried the defending champs for 6½ games, was totally spent and scored only 8 points in the second half, 2 in the final quarter. The king of the non-called charging and traveling violations finally keeled over and succumbed to Boston's Belichickian defense.
Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo can only watch as time wound down on the Bucks in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game.Barry Chin/Globe Staff
"Defense won this game," said Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck. "We held them to 81 points. That's unbelievable."
Udoka didn't empty his bench until the final two minutes with Boston leading by 26. The curtain calls for the starters were long and loud.
Now everybody gets one full day of rest and then they're back at it Tuesday in Miami. It marks the 37th time the Celtics have appeared in the conference finals. In 75 NBA seasons.
Related: Giannis Antetokounmpo has won a title. He thinks the Celtics have what it takes to do the same.
"We're probably tired, but we'll give it a go," said the owner.
Players and fans are tired after this seven-game bloodbath. But it's mid-May and one of the Hub's teams is still fighting for a championship and that's all that matters in sports-centric Boston.

A national strike which was organized by private anti-Chavez businesses severely disrupted Venezuela's oil exports in 2002 was dealt with severely by Chavez. The strike was called to try to coerce Chavez into a referendum on whether or not he should stay in power.
When the strike was broken Chavez fired 18,000 workers who had participated in it as well as seven executives from Venezuela's biggest oil companies. Nonetheless the President called the requested referendum for the following year, where Venezuelans voted resoundingly "No", when asked whether or not he should stay in power.

…Discrimination on political grounds has been a defining feature of the Chavez presidency, at times, the president himself has openly endorsed acts of discrimination.

The Unveiling of Desert Muse
(Greater Palm Springs, CA) - Iconic images of Greater Palm Springs captured by renowned photographer Greg Williams will be showcased tonight at a private event at the Parker Palm Springs. A behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot will also be presented.
Over the past 15 years, Greg Williams has photographed some of the world's most recognizable faces—from Keira Knightley to Tom Hardy and most notably with Daniel Craig in his tenure as 007. Until recently, his work in films and photography had never brought him to Palm Springs. That changed in 2014 when the Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) invited Williams and his muse— model and designer Daisy Lowe—to experience this Southern California Desert Oasis.
For his first venture to Greater Palm Springs, the CVB gave Williams complete creative freedom to produce this photo shoot, resulting in the photographer's own artistic interpretation of the beauty that exists in this iconic destination. As Williams and his crew traveled throughout the destination over a three-day period, many shoot locations were chosen on an artistic whim—as inspiration dictated.
In addition to creating Williams' photographic vision, the team enlisted videographer Sean Hill to film behind the scenes of the photo shoot with Williams and Lowe. The footage has been transformed into a 12-minute video that captures the iconic photo shoot locations in the Coachella Valley and the making of the ten cinematic images set in Hollywood's "playground of the stars."
WHAT: The Unveiling of Desert Muse by Greg Williams featuring Daisy Lowe
Showcasing 12 images by photographer Greg Williams and the behind-the- scenes video of the photo shoot.
WHEN: Thursday, April 9, 2015
WHERE: PSYC at The Parker Palm Springs

Disruptions Meetings are appropriate where a child placed for adoption has moved from that placement. Where it is considered helpful to the planning for a child who has moved out of their adoptive family post order you should contact the Agency Advisor to discuss.
Disruption meetings are an opportunity for all those involved in a particular case to look in an open way, and with the benefit of hindsight, at the issues that may have contributed to the placement breakdown. They are a forum that can provide valuable information and feedback, which can inform future practice and benefit looked after children.
That the development of good practice is highlighted and assisted.
A disruption meeting must be held when a prospective adoptive or permanent (long term fostering or residential) placement has broken down.
The child's Social Worker should inform the Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) Team prior to (when possible) or within 5 working days of a disruption to request an IRO chairs a disruption meeting.
If a prospective adoptive placement disrupts, the disruption meeting must take place no sooner than 28 days and no longer than 42 days after the date of disruption.
It is expected that the matter should be referred to the Adoption and Permanence Panel no more than 3 months after the disruption of an adoptive placement.
The circumstances of each particular case will influence the number of people invited to a disruption meeting, but care should be taken to ensure the meeting does not become too unwieldy.
Other professionals directly involved with the child/young person (i.e. therapists, school teachers).
If the child/young person or their previous carers or birth parents do not attend the disruption meeting, steps should be taken to ensure their views are accurately obtained and conveyed to the meeting in writing or via a prior meeting with the independent chair.
Participants are expected to attend for the duration of the meeting and partial attendance should be avoided where possible. It is important that participants are reminded of this at the point of invitation and any partial attendance discussed with and agreed by the independent chair, prior to the meeting.
The Social Worker is responsible for drawing up the list of invited participants, agreeing these with the independent chair and arranging for invites to be circulated.
Proper preparation for a disruption meeting is essential to its success.
Children/young people, previous carers and birth parents.
If the child/young person, their previous carers and birth parents are attending the meeting, it is vital they are briefed appropriately to help prevent or minimise unnecessary distress.
In preparing a child/young person, their Social Worker should ensure they are aware of their personal and family history to avoid the possibility of any unknown information about their past being discussed.
Arrangements for the appointment of an advocate or other support should be made following consultation with the child/young person and the Children's Rights Service, as appropriate.
The independent chair should make arrangements for the child/young person, their birth Parents and their previous carers to have the opportunity to meet with/have contact with them prior to the meeting. This option should be made available regardless of whether they intend to attend the disruption meeting.
Background reports for the disruption meeting.
The child/young person's Social Worker and the previous prospective adopters/carers' Supervising Social Workers must prepare a joint written report for the disruption meeting.
Appendix 1 outlines the report guidelines and the report should be with the independent chair 5 working days prior to the disruption meeting and copies made, by the Social Worker, for participants to read at the beginning of the meeting. This report must be shared with the child/young person (as appropriate), birth Parents (as appropriate) and the Carers, past and present, prior to the disruption meeting.
The Supervising Social Worker must also ask the previous prospective adopters/Carers to prepare a written background report for the disruption meeting. Appendix 2 outlines the report guidelines. The report should be with the independent chair 5 working days prior to the disruption meeting and copies made, by the Supervising Social Worker, for participants to read at the beginning of the meeting.
Previous prospective adopters/Carers should prepare a report even if they intend to attend the disruption meeting; if they are unable to attend, this report becomes even more significant.
Supervising Social Workers are responsible for informing the independent chair if it has not been appropriate or possible for the previous prospective adopters/Carers to complete a report.
The independent chair should arrange a preparatory discussion prior to the disruption meeting with the child/young person's Social Worker and the previous prospective adopters/Carers Supervising Social Worker, in order to clarify arrangements and issues.
Disruption meetings normally take a significant period of time and often last several hours. Good preparation can reduce the actual meeting time.
Any other issues that should be considered.
The Business Support Manager who has taken the minutes should complete a draft report for the chair, within 5 working days of the disruption meeting.
Recommendations – which should include proposed changes to current agreed policy and practice.
The independent chair is responsible for circulating the summary, action plans and general recommendations to the participants of the disruption meeting, requesting any amendments with regard to factual inaccuracies, within 10 working days. The practice feedback section should only be copied to the Social Workers and relevant Managers and not to the other meeting participants.
The chair should finalise the summary, action plan, practice feedback and general recommendations and send a copy to the child/young person's Social Worker for the case file, together with the minutes of the meeting. The child/young person's Social Worker will arrange circulation to the meeting participants.
The final version of the summary, action plan, practice feedback and general recommendations should be sent to the Adoption and Permanence Panel by the independent chair. The Agency Adviser to the Adoption and Permanence Panel will seek any necessary clarification and advise whether attendance of either the independent chair or child/young person's Social Worker is required at the Panel meeting. The Agency Adviser will inform the independent chair and child/young person's Social Worker of the date the paperwork will be presented to the Adoption and Permanence Panel.
Once the Adoption and Permanence Panel has considered the disruption and related recommendations, the Agency Adviser will discuss any necessary action with the relevant Agency Decision Maker. Any immediate action, and those responsible for taking it, will be agreed by the relevant Agency Decision Maker.
The Independent Reviewing Officer Manager and the Agency Adviser will meet annually to monitor all recommendations of disruption meetings and make any necessary recommendations to the relevant Agency Decision Maker regarding changes to policy, procedures and practice.
The Adoption Agency annual report will include a summary of any action taken, practice issues and lessons learnt from disruption meetings presented to the Adoption and Permanence Panel.
Legal status of current placement.
Contact with birth parents & wider family.
The support network & support services offered.
Initial professional judgement about lessons to be learnt.
These guidelines are suggested headings for a report that previous prospective adopters/carers may wish to prepare for a disruption meeting. Advice and support in preparing a report can be obtained from the Supervising Social Worker.
Child/young person's name, date of birth & how long she/he was living with you.
How did you come to hear about the child/young person? Did you receive enough information?
How did you find their behaviour? Was this as you expected?
What did you learn about her/him as a result of living together?
Why do you think your family was selected for this child?
What were your reasons for wishing to adopt/care for her/him?
How were the introductions organised and who was involved?
How do you think the introductions went?
What worked well and not so well in the placement?
Did you have the opportunity to express any concerns or withdraw?
How did you feel during the introductions? Did you feel you received enough support?
What do you think caused the disruption? What lessons should be learnt?
How do you think her/his needs can be met in the future?
Do you have any unresolved issues in your relationship with her/him?
Do you think on-going contact with the child/young person would be of benefit to her/him?
Are there any additional measures you would like the department to take regarding your relationship with the child/young person?
Is there any other assistance you would wish the department to consider?
Are there any specific issues you would wish raised at the disruption meeting?
Your Supervising Social Worker will ensure copies of your report are available to be read at the beginning of the disruption meeting.
Disruption meetings are held when a prospective adoption placement has broken down. The purpose of the meeting is about trying to learn what happened, what could have been done differently, what worked well and what should happen in the future. It's about trying to make sure that your needs and your previous Carers' needs are met. It's also a chance for social work Managers to learn from these experiences and, where necessary, make changes to the way things are done.
The disruption meeting is not about blaming people, it is about talking about what happened and helping people come to terms with and make sense of things.
Disruption meetings are chaired by an Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO), who will be different from the IRO who has been chairing your Me and My World Review.
Disruption meetings can feel overwhelming and difficult for all those involved, particularly young people. You are the most important person in the process so it's important that you have an opportunity to say what you want to say. Your Social Worker, your advocate (if you want one) and the IRO will all help to make this happen.
Young people are generally invited to attend their disruption meetings and their contribution is very important. It may be that in some cases, young people aren't invited to the meeting. If this happens in your case, your Social Worker will explain why this decision has been made.
Disruption meetings can last for a number of hours and some young people only want to attend part of the meeting. Other young people only want to attend if their previous carers are not there. Some young people don't wish to attend any of the meeting, preferring instead to tell an advocate their views or by sending the meeting a note or recording. Any of these options are available and your Social Worker will talk these through with you.
If you would like an advocate appointed to help you express your views, let your Social Worker know and they will arrange this.
A week or so before the meeting, the IRO will make a time to come and meet with you. This will be a chance to talk about who will be at the meeting, what will be discussed and how you want to be part of things. If you are worried about anything to do with the disruption meeting, let the IRO know and they will try and help sort things out.
Your Social Worker, together with your previous permanent carers' Social Worker, will be writing a report for the disruption meeting. Your Social Worker will generally show you this report prior to the meeting and make sure you are clear about what has been written. This report will then be read by everyone who attends the disruption meeting. Your previous carers will also be asked to write a report for the meeting so that their views about the placement can be obtained. You may have decided to write a report or make a recording and if so, this will also be read/listened to/watched at this point.
Once all the reports have been read/heard, the meeting will then spend time looking at your placement with your previous carers, from the beginning when you first met them, through to the breakdown. The meeting will then look at what is happening for you now, what should happen in the future, and what support and help you may need. It will also look at what support and help your previous carers may need.
Following the meeting, the IRO will write a summary of what was discussed. You will generally be sent a copy of this and a copy will be put on your social services file. A copy of this report will then be sent to Brighton and Hove's Adoption and Permanence Panel, who may have originally approved your placement with your previous Carers, who may wish to ask your Social Worker or the IRO some further questions.

Decision on controversial housing development deferred after last minute amendments
By Chris Young @ChrisY_TandA Local Democracy Reporter
The site of the proposed houses off Rooley Crescent
A DECISION on a major housing development in the South of Bradford has been deferred until the new year.
At a meeting this morning members of Bradford Council's Regulatory and Appeals Committee was due to decide whether to approve a development of 150 homes for rent on land to the south of Rooley Crescent, off Rooley Avenue in Odsal.
The plans have proved controversial, with almost 150 people objecting to the scheme.
And Council planning officers had recommended members refuse the plans, by Caddick Land, saying they could interfere with a planned park and ride scheme that was proposed for a neighbouring piece of land.
The proposed scheme aims to reduce congestion on Bradford's streets by allowing people coming into the city from the M606 to park on Council owned land off Staithgate Lane. They would then be able to travel into the city centre via bus.
The car park would have space for around 500 vehicles.
Housing development could halt park and ride plans - Councillors to be told
Officers had said these housing plans would "sterilise" the park and ride project, limiting vehicle access to the planned site.
A number of objectors attended yesterday's meeting in City Hall. Before the Committee's discussion started, members were told that last minute amended plans had been submitted to the Council.
Committee members said it was important that Councillor officers and the public have the opportunity to look at these amended plans before any decision was made.
Members voted to defer their decision until officers could pore over the amended plans.
Chair Councillor David Warburton (Lab, Wyke) said: "I am very concerned about the lateness of this new information.
"It is important that all information for a planning application is available so officers and the public can get a full view of the scheme."
He said every resident who objected to the scheme needed to be informed of the changes, and that the plans come back to the committee no later than March.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Susan Van Leuven's new boat building book speaks volumes. The 8½" by 11" hardcover 288-page book contains over 800 (that's eight hundred!) color photographs, over 50 drawings and sketches by the author, and is printed on heavy weight glossy paper. While the text alone gives an overview of each major step in the process, the descriptive details in the notes under each picture provide a degree of explanatory detail that almost gives the reader a sense of being there. This theme continues the author's writing style seen in her first highly acclaimed book, Illustrated Guide to Wood Strip Canoe Building, published in 1998. A casual reader could get sufficient information to make a building decision by reading just the text, but a committed builder would get all of the detail needed to build a boat by delving into the picture captions.
If I were to have an overall impression of the book, the very last sentence says it all – "After all, quality time is what wood strip boat projects are all about." The book is all of that, written with a sense of relaxed pleasure along the way, wisps of levity here and there, and "quality time" enjoyed while building a boat. While craftsmanship is only mentioned in passing, it is seen continuously in the work the author describes and shows in photographs. She takes her time with each step, waiting for glue to properly cure or epoxy to fully harden before going on to the next operation.
Building a modern rowing craft using wood strips, fiberglass, and epoxy is a logical application of a building technique that has seen innumerable strip-built canoes and kayaks produced mostly by amateur builders world wide. The book uses two wood strip boats as demonstrations of rowboat building techniques. These are the Rangeley Lakes boat, a long-popular rowing boat design indigenous to Maine lakes and used as a fishing platform; and the Liz, a boat designed primarily for recreational rowing for the sheer enjoyment of doing so. Both boats are single ended designs with transoms and propelled by the rower using oars, defining the key differences between a rowboat and a paddled canoe or kayak.
The construction of these boats is described in detail, while along the way explaining concepts and methods applicable to other types of strip-built boats. The Rangeley Lakes boat was built from western red cedar strips milled by the author, while the Liz was built from pre-milled Alaskan yellow cedar strips. Also in keeping with the concept of presenting optional methods, the Rangeley building forms and plans were obtained commercially . The plans for the Liz, designed by Ken Bassett, were originally drawn for lap straked construction, but were adapted to strip building. The author modified the study plans for the Liz by adding intermediate stations to better define the hull shape in the building form. The procedure for doing this was clearly described in the Lofting section, which also explains basic lofting in general.
The book contains the expected chapters and sections on building space and environment, tools, materials, safety, and working with epoxy, among others, all of which are discussed in detail. The construction portion starts with building the strongback, followed by making the individual station forms, mounting them on the strongback, and precisely aligning each form to center lines on a reference plane on the strongback and in space above it. Once again, all of these steps are fully described and documented with clear color photographs.
Throughout the book, the author describes more than one way to perform a step or build a part. These can be taken as options for the reader to fit his or her particular building situation. For example, she describes holding the glued strips to the forms by clamping them to precut grooves in the forms, stapling the strips to the forms as they are mounted, or using thin nails driven through small pieces of strip or thin plywood that act as cushions. She leaves the choice of fastening method to the reader, indicating that the choice of method used is one of the "…factors which can affect the speed with which the hull is completed. Another is your standards for quality of fit, and means of achieving it." Her high standards are evident throughout the book.
Once the raw hulls are completed, fairing, sanding, filling gaps, and preparing them for fiberglass are described. The author continues her theme of presenting options in describing different brands of epoxy. Fiberglassing the hull, perhaps the most daunting operation for the first time builder, is next and is described in comforting detail. Then on to the inwales and outwales, seats, stem band, and oarlocks, all of which are offered with choices. Descriptions and characteristics of several commercial brands of varnish and paint are given, as well as techniques for applying them. For the Liz, the author describes fitting and installing a commercially available sliding seat drop-in oar system that uses outboard oar mounts. The book ends with a chapter on accessories such as oars, trailers, and small dollies for moving a boat.
There are three appendices – Lists of Tools, Lists of Materials and Supplies, and Lists of Supply Sources. Fully twenty three pages are devoted to these lists, but I found them overly detailed and repetitious. The list of tools is first broken down by major headings pertaining to each of the two boats, which are further subdivided to lists of the actual tools used for each major part of each boat. The consequence of this is a lot of repetitive listings. For example, "block plane" appears nineteen times in the Lists of Tools appendix, distributed among the various sub lists. Similar multiple entries also appear in the other appendices. Typical books about building boats usually contain similar information, but are of a more general nature and apply to the project as a whole.
There are a few errors in the book; none of which are serious. In the definition of breasthook on page 10, "... the sides of the hull come together at the stern...". Stern is an obvious error, and should be stem. With the particular font used, it is difficult to distinguish the letters rn from the single letter m, and the error wasn't picked up in the proof reading process. Another, on page 215, has the reader searching for a picture referred to in the caption under the sketch, and again on page 257 in the body of the text. The references to the pictures do not state where the picture can be found; rather they appear to be place holders referencing the author's file location of the actual pictures. I found one back on page 42; I couldn't find the other anywhere in the book.
Despite these few warts, the book is destined to become highly regarded in marine literature. It is substantially detailed, profusely illustrated, and well written by an author intimately in touch with her subject.
John Michne is an award-winning amateur builder and co-author, along with Michael Olivette, of Building an Adirondack Guideboat – Wood Strip Reproductions of the Virginia.
Strip building plans and forms for both boats are available from Newfound Woodworks, Bristol, NH.

So I spent the better part of yesterday dilly-dallying. I shouldn't have, but I admit it. Ironically, it felt great to take a little break from writing since I've been doing a lot of it lately.
I also spent some time messing around making some digital art. One of the things that I was working on was a cover for the short story that I wrote recently titled 'Compromise of the Soul'.
I present to you all the cover that I've spent most of the evening working on.
What do you think? Would love to know your thoughts/likes/dislikes.
Thanks for checking out the cover!

Understanding what has been happening in recent years with income inequality in Canada is vitally important.
What do we know, for example, about the incidence of low income and poverty, or the impact of taxes and income transfers on the level and distribution of family income? What are the differences in income across provinces, or between different kinds of families, such as seniors and lone-parent families? More pressingly from a public policy perspective, what difference has government policy made to the economic well-being of Canadian families and to the fairness and equity of Canadian society?
Answering these questions relies on having sound data that are reliable and comparable over time.

Panasonic announces GH5s mirrorless camera for $2499
Montelent January 10, 2018
Panasonic has launched the GH5s, an even more video-focused version of the popular and already video-friendly GH5. The new camera comes with a bunch of changes, most of which are under the hood.
For starters, the GH5s has a new 12.5MP sensor with 10.2MP usable resolution. The extra pixels allow the camera to maintain its diagonal field of view when switching between aspect ratios such as 4:3, 17:9, 16:9 and 3:2. More importantly, the new sensor is optimized for low light sensitivity, a bit like the Sony A7S II, and now supports shooting up to ISO 51,200 without extended ISO. The autofocus also works in -5EV luminance.
The GH5s comes with a bunch of video specific features. It can now record internally in Cinema 4K (4096×2160) at 60p in 4:2:0 8-bit or 30p in 4:2:2 10-bit, making it the only mirrorless camera to do so. It comes pre-installed with HDR Hybrid Log Gamma and Panasonic V-LogL, time code in and out sync, waveform monitor, vector scopes, and programmable zebra patterns. For stills, the camera supports 14-bit RAW files. The rest of the camera is more or less identical to the GH5.
The Panasonic GH5s is priced at $2499 body-only and will be available February 2.
