Q: How to use hardware accelerated video encoding of GStreamer on Android? I am trying to design hardware accelerated video encoder based on Android. I have done research for some time but I did not find much useful.
Anyway, I saw the Gstreamer (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/). It is said this can provide hardware video encoder. However, after I read the manual, I found nothing about encoder.
Does anyone know about this stuff? Thank you!

A: It's going to be dependent on your hardware. What device are you running on?
If your processor contains an IP core that implements video encoding/decoding, the manufacturer needs to either offer a driver so you can call this hardware, or ideally go a step further and offer a specific plugin for GStreamer that does it.
For example, the Freescale i.MX6 processor (used in the Wandboard and CuBox) has a driver maintained by Freescale: https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx
TI OMAP processors have support: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GStreamer, also see TI Distributed Codec Engine.
Broadcom processors have support: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/gstreamer0.10-crystalhd
There are also several standard interfaces to video accelerator hardware, including VDPAU, VAAPI, and OpenMax IL. If your processor is not one of the above, someone may have written a driver that maps one of these standard interfaces to your hardware.
The Rasberry Pi is apparently supported by the OpenMax IL plugin: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/gst-omx/1.0.0.html
If you don't know whether your processor is supported, I'd search for the name and various combinations of "VDPAU", "VAAPI", etc.

A: There are a wide variety of encoding options in Gstreamer to take a raw stream and encode it.  Pretty much any element ending in "enc" can be used to do the encoding.  Here is a good example of a few encoding pipelines:
https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/TVP5146_GStreamer_example_pipelines
With that said, I'd caution that video encoding is extremely hardware intensive.  I would also look at getting a special purpose hardware encoder and to not do software encoding via GStreamer if you're stream is a robust size.

Fort Sill is first and foremost a military installation. That means visitors aren't its priority – get ready to deal with a bit of bureaucracy and instructions that could have been translated from a foreign language but weren't! Nonetheless, it's a beautiful post with amazing history and well worth the time of anyone interested.
What is there to see? The original buildings date to 1869 – and some are still in use. This is the most complete fort in existence from the period of the Indian Wars on the Frontier.
Start with the Ft. Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum. There are several exhibits, including a section on Buffalo Soldiers, in the Visitors Center on the south side of the quadrangle. Down the hill is the old corral – currently undergoing restoration.
The 1875 "Old" Post Chapel is located on the northeast corner of the quad. The Commander's House on the north is generally referred to as the "Sherman House." Several attempts to kill visiting General William Tecumseh Sherman were made on the front porch in 1871. The Cavalry Barracks run down the west side of the quad – stop and look in the door to see what they would have looked like in the 1870s.
Across from the Old Corral, you can't miss the fields of cannons and weaponry in front of the U.S. Army Artillery Museum which tells the story of the Artillery from the Revolution to the present day.
The Army Air Defense Artillery Museum exhibits weapons from World War I to contemporary times. Fort Sill's museum complex is the largest military museum complex west of the Mississippi
and fourth or fifth largest in the nation.
Geronimo figures prominently in the fort's history and a visit to the Guardhouse is a great stop for discovering the gaps between the legends and the reality of his capture and incarceration. Many visitors take a wandering route through the post to reach the Apache Cemetery where Geronimo and other important Native Americans are buried. You'll often see tributes which have been left at Geronimo's grave.
As you drive through the post, you'll notice different architectural and construction styles. The Old Post buildings are native limestone. Brick and stucco buildings were constructed pre-World War I. The Spanish-style structures were built in the mid-1930s.
The Lake Elmer Thomas Recreation Area (LETRA) is also accessible from the Fort proper. Just be sure and observe the NO TRESPASSING signs – and don't photograph any contemporary materials.
Planning a visit? Your first step starts before you even get to the gate. On your computer, go to Visitor Control Center to check whether you need a pass to get on post. If you do not have DoD-approved identification, you'll have to fill out Form 118a (links on the web site) and bring it with you, with photo ID to the Visitor Control Center. If it's a busy day, you may have a bit of a wait – usually the process takes less than 10 minutes. But persevere – the post covers a broad swath of American military history and is definitely worth a visit. Be sure to ask for a map of the post — you'll need it.

2003 10.05. — 22.06.03 Kunsthalle Palazzo
10.05 — 22.06.2003 Kunsthalle Palazzo
View of the exhibition SLOTS Kunsthalle Palazzo, 2003 © Kunsthalle Palazzo / le Crédac, 2003
Artists: Christophe Cuzin, Véronique Joumard, Hugues Reip, David Renaud, Cédric Teisseire, Emmanuelle Villard
Curatorship: Claire Le Restif
Slots, a topical headline, as it concerns, among other things, "take-off and landing clearance slots" for aircraft . Networks can be bought and sold, for air transport, telecommunications, but also networks of influence, networks of thought, artistic networks, which need invitations outside their own territory in order to assert themselves.
This is what the Kunsthalle Palazzo offers us, by inviting these six artists to come down to Liestal station. While maintaining for each of the works its autonomy, its identity, "Slots" is a collective form. A game, with rules, colours, materials and various subjects, is set up between the pieces of the different artists.
The works proposed by these artists for Slots, are abstract, organic, haptic, optical, with painted, dry and greasy surfaces. They deal with metamorphosis, composition, light, colour, abstraction, a certain idea of fiction. They allow you to "take off" from one universe to another, immaterial and imaginary.
For Slots, Cédric Teisseire created two proposals for a wall, one on the façade of the Palazzo, the other signalling the beginning of the exhibition, Les trois miroirs (2003) by Véronique Joumard geniusfully shift our attention towards space. But beyond allowing sharp, different and original points of view on the exhibition, or on the landscape outside, they above all offer us a blurred reading of our own reflection.
A universe where the image has disappeared, a foggy world, where we cannot focus from the front.
David Renaud's device Sans titre (2003), consisting of six circular platforms equipped with motors, is placed on the ground. On each of the circular "tables" are represented a kind of coloured molecule. These concentric motifs, a sort of roto-relief, water lilies, machine organisms, double the revolving effect. Naturally, we circulate, we bend down to look, physically and mentally caught up in this imaginary universe.
Emmanuelle Villard makes visual objects that she installs, perhaps even stages, no longer within the framework of a blank wall, but at the heart of a device drawn on the wall. She envisages the exhibition of her shapes, now without motifs, full, swollen, bloated or empty, folded, from which she has expelled the frames, creating the visual support that takes their place as a showcase. Further on, a small painting, both genesis and signature of the artist's work.
Hugues Reip and Christophe Cuzin develop an essential relationship with space. They set up their territory by combining discreet invasion, lightness and efficiency. To questions related to space, they formulate answers to the context, to the place. Christophe Cuzin questions the links between painting and the built environment, using colour in monochrome units, with a roller, without any sign of facture. For Slots, he creates a pictorial environment, red as red, for the exhibition corridor. Hugues Reip, draws the space, drawing lines with wire. Aerial environment, tenuous visual space. These are two devices determined by the characteristics of the place, in situ, in the sense that this notion signals an explicit organic link between given elements and their situation.

Uncharted Africa Safari has teamed up with Kenya charter company, Tropic Air, to offer a one-of-a-kind helicopter safari excursion to the most remote areas of Ethiopia. This journey allows guests to see and experience previously inaccessible areas, boasting rock fields, lava flows, volcanoes, lakes and remote tribes.
The safari starts in the remote region of the Omo River Delta—dubbed one of the last wild frontiers in the world—an area where the many colorful tribes call home. From here, the safari moves north to Ethiopia's holiest city, Lalibela and later, further extremes are experienced in the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest places on earth and home to acid volcanoes and saline lakes.
Ralph Bousfield—co-founder of Uncharted Africa Safari and one of Africa's best-known guides—will lead guests on this heli-safari. The safari experience is limited to parties of only two persons per helicopter.

RF, a 75-year-old male, who lives at home with his wife, was admitted to hospice today with a primary diagnosis of prostate cancer metastatic to the bone. Additional diagnoses include hypertension, depression, and hyperlipidemia. On assessment, his PPS is 50% and he is noted to have symptoms of fatigue and a severe level of pain (8/10). He is recently homebound due to overall weakness and discomfort. He has no known drug allergies.
According to his medical history, RF's hormone-refractory prostate cancer was diagnosed 14 months ago. At that time, he was symptomatic of metastatic disease1-3 including pain in his lower back and hips. He received external beam radiation therapy to his prostate, pelvic lymph nodes and spine initially achieving adequate pain relief.4-7 He also received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (hormonal therapy) and two courses of chemotherapy. Despite these treatments, his PSA continued to rise and he had evidence of worsening metastatic disease on a recent bone scan.
The benefits and the problems (side effects, cost and time) associated with undergoing additional palliative radiation were reviewed with RF and his wife. They opted to stop all treatment and focus on supportive care and comfort instead. His goals are to maintain his level of activity and be as pain-free as possible. He continues to have pain in his lower back and hips that is partially relieved with morphine breakthrough doses. He tells you that his daughter is a nurse and recently read an article about bisphosphonate therapy for bone pain. He asks if there would be any benefit to starting this therapy.
How does bone metastasis affect the bone?
Cancer cells can travel to the bones through the blood stream and are thought to be attracted to the bone marrow by cytokines. There are 2 types of bone cells- osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts form new bone while osteoclasts dissolve old bone. When the bone cells are healthy, new bone is always forming while old bone is dissolving, keeping bones strong. Cancer cells weaken the bone structure by interfering with these actions, thus, creating risk for pain and/or fractures.8 Bone metastasis occurs in 70-90% of patients with prostate cancer.
WHAT complications are caused by bone metastases?
Pain: Bone pain may initially come and go and get better with movement. As metastases progress, pain often worsens with movement and is usually described as sharp and localized to the site of metastases.
Fractures: Fractures can occur more frequently with a fall or injury, as well as during everyday activities, most commonly in the bones of the arms and legs.
Spinal cord compression: Metastases that travel to the spine can form tumors that place pressure on the spinal cord and cause nerve damage that may lead to paralysis if not treated. The spinal cord nerves are what allow the body to move and feel, including maintaining control of functions like bowel and bladder control. Trouble urinating and/or constipation often result.
Hypercalcemia: Damage to the bones releases calcium into the blood stream and increases serum calcium levels. High serum calcium can cause constipation, nausea, loss of appetite and extreme thirst and is associated with fatigue, weakness, and confusion if left untreated.
Pamidronate and zoledronic acid are the only bisphosphonates indicated for the treatment of SREs related to bone metastases. Zoledronic acid is administered every 3 to 4 weeks as a 4mg IV infusion over 15 min. Pamidronate is also administered monthly as a 90mg IV infusion over 4 hours. Intravenous pamidronate and zoledronic acid are considered equally effective in reducing SREs in patients with bone metastases.9 Zoledronic acid are the more costly of the two agents, however, the shorter infusion time may offset the higher medication cost with less nursing time, less outpatient facility time, and associated improved quality of life.
What is bisphosphonates' place in hospice therapy for palliating bone pain?
Bisphosphonates may be useful for reducing both bone pain and high calcium levels and lowering the risk of broken bones. 11-14 Long-term treatment better manages pain, therefore, bisphosphonate therapy should be reserved as adjunctive therapy and not the primary method of pain control.11 Their role in the management of acute malignant bone pain remains unclear. In general, single-dose treatments may be useful for patients with hypercalcemia of malignancy, however, regular monthly treatments are required to prevent SREs.
RF's pain is partially relieved with his scheduled long-acting morphine and maxed out on his dose of naproxen, causing him to seek breakthrough pain management with short-acting liquid morphine, averaging 4 doses a day. His medical history and description of pain indicate bone pain. Bone pain, being somatic in nature, is inflammatory and never fully relieved with opioid therapy alone, requiring the need to adjust his NSAID adjuvant therapy or replace with an oral steroid. It is also noted that the morphine breakthrough dose does not complement his scheduled morphine therapy and may be too low.
Discuss with RF that he is already prescribed the recommended therapy for the type of pain he is experiencing, however he may not be on the right dose of morphine (we can adjust this) and naproxen is currently at the maximum dose allowed (we can try a medication that works similarly but in another drug class). Considering his prognosis, low functional status and reasons for foregoing further palliative radiation, he is not a good candidate for bisphosphonate therapy.
Discontinue naproxen and start dexamethasone 4mg PO BID. This therapy will not only assist with bone pain but may help short term with symptoms of fatigue. Long-term benefits of corticosteroids for fatigue have not been shown.16 After approximately 2 weeks, it is recommended to reassess his pain and fatigue and consider adjustment of therapy if needed.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
These words are part of a traditional Lutheran worship service during the time we call "brief order for confession and forgiveness". It's when we publicly confess our sins to the Lord and hear a declaration of forgiveness by the pastor.
For instance, Lutherans tend to place a high value on Holy Communion. There was never any question the new service would include weekly communion. A reciting of the Lord's Prayer is included in that portion of the service as well. One of the things I love most about this prayer is how Christians from different traditions often know this prayer. It's one we can usually say together by heart, which expresses the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17.
More recently we decided to include a weekly confession and forgiveness portion to the contemporary service. I've been to literally hundreds of contemporary worship services over the years in many different kinds of churches, but I struggle to remember any (including Lutheran) that included a corporate confession/forgiveness element. There's something cathartic about confessing my sins and receiving absolution (another word for forgiveness).
Gracious God, you know how we continually fall short of your dreams and expectations for us, yet you love us anyway. You meet us in the place of our failures and lift us up to new life. This morning we thank you again for your tender mercies which are new every morning. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Measuring "Kony 2012" Viral Impact
Just a side note here about how "Kony 2012" measures up to other viral videos. As of this writing, the YouTube version has received over 76 million views. But the Visible Measures group says total views across the internet is over 112 million. How does that measure up to other viral sensations like "Charlie Bit My Finger Again" or Rebecca Black's "Friday"? It took only six days for "Kony 2012" to become the fastest "campaign" to surpass 100 million views. In short, it's the fastest growing viral video campaign in history. The stats are below.

Anne-Karine Strøm (born 15 October 1951) is a Norwegian singer, best known for having taken part in the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest selection, Melodi Grand Prix, in six consecutive years between 1971 and 1976, winning on three occasions (twice as a soloist and once as a member of an ensemble) and representing Norway in the Eurovision Song Contests of 1973, 1974 and 1976.

Melodi Grand Prix

Strøm's Melodi Grand Prix appearances were as follows:
1971: "Hør litt på meg" – 10th
1972: "Håp" – 4th
1973: "Å for et spill" (as member of the Bendik Singers) – 1st
1974: "Hvor er du" – 1st
1975: "1+1=2" – 4th
1976: "Mata Hari" – 1st

Eurovision Song Contest

The Bendik Singers' 1973 winning song was given English-language lyrics and retitled "It's Just A Game" for the 18th Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 7 April in Luxembourg City, where it finished in seventh place of 17 entries.

Strøm travelled to Brighton, England for the 1974 contest, held on 6 April.  Again, the song had been translated into English as "The First Day of Love", and backing vocals were provided by the other Bendik Singers.  This was the notable contest which was won by ABBA and also featured several already internationally established names (Olivia Newton-John, Gigliola Cinquetti, Mouth & MacNeal).  In this competitive field, "The First Day of Love" struggled to attract votes and ended as one of four songs sharing last place with just three votes each.

Strøm's final Eurovision appearance, at the 1976 contest in The Hague on 3 April, ended in complete failure, as "Mata Hari" placed last of the 18 participating songs.  Prior to the contest "Mata Hari", a very modern and contemporary disco-style song, had been expected to do well, but it was suggested afterwards that Strøm's rather odd outfit and performance on the night may have cost votes. With two last-place finishes from three entries, Strøm is usually cited as the least successful artist to have appeared in more than one Eurovision Song Contest as the only artist to date finish in last place twice.

Post-Eurovision
In the late 1970s Strøm began performing in musical cabarets with Øystein Sunde and her then husband Ole Paus.  She released three albums between 1978 and 1986, which reflected a move towards a more serious style of music.

Albums discography
1971: Drømmebilde
1975: Anne Karin
1978: Album
1982: Casablancas Døtre
1986: Landet utenfor

Shape Your Future: Complete Count is Critical for April's 2020 Census
Whether you care about protecting the most vulnerable, attracting new growth, affordable housing, equal representation, funding roads, or emergency preparedness in our community, participating in the 2020 Census can have an impact on all of those issues and more – and every ten years, it's also been the civic duty of every single person living in the United States since George Washington was President.
⚠ NOTE: In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the U.S. Census Bureau is adjusting 2020 Census operations. While census takers may not be following up door-to-door until August (instead of May), it's still more important than ever to self-respond now so they can avoid your house altogether. Visit my2020census.gov to respond today.
What exactly is the Census? The Census is a simple questionnaire, mandated by the U.S. Constitution, that records every person living at your address on April 1st, 2020. Visit the official Census website for a wealth of resources and information.
https://youtu.be/Syg4zqb0iCU
2020 Census PSA: What is the 2020 Census?
Why should I participate? Your responses will help:
inform where over $675 billion is distributed each year to communities nationwide for clinics, schools, roads, and more
provide community leaders with vital information to make decisions about building community centers, opening businesses, and planning for the future
redraw legislative districts and determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives
What happens if I don't participate? For each individual who does not respond to the 2020 Census, it's estimated that their community could lose out on as much as $20,000 from now until the next Census. That could mean a total of $100,000 for a family of five who didn't respond.
By census law, refusal to answer all or part of the census carries a $100 fine. The penalty goes up to $500 for giving false answers. In 1976, Congress eliminated both the possibility of a 60-day prison sentence for noncompliance and a one-year prison term for false answers.
But the fine could be significantly higher than $100 for purposely avoiding questions. The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 effectively raised the penalty to as much as $5,000 for refusing to answer a census question. A census spokeswoman has said, "We view this approach as a last resort."
…there have only been a handful of prosecutions for noncompliance in the history of the census, and none since 1970.
From American Bar Association: "A boycott of the 2020 census could be costly"
https://youtu.be/zuEo-lXtVjc
2020 Census PSA: How Will 2020 Census Data be Used?
When is the 2020 Census happening? In mid-March of 2020, every household will get an invitation by mail. You can respond by mail, phone, or (brand new for 2020) online. Local census takers will assist those who do not respond.
https://youtu.be/wg2mPgmyvBg
2020 Census PSA: How Do I Take The 2020 Census?
Is my personally identifiable information safe and confidential? Your responses to the 2020 Census are safe, secure, and protected by federal law. There are NO exceptions.
In fact, your answers can only be used to produce statistics. They cannot be used against you by any government agency or court in any way—not by the FBI, CIA, DHS, or ICE. By law, all responses to U.S. Census Bureau household and business surveys are kept completely confidential. No court of law can subpoena census responses.
All responses submitted online are encrypted to protect personal privacy. Once responses are received, they are no longer online.
https://youtu.be/qzmB5oJQ_z4
2020 Census PSA: Is My 2020 Census Data Safe?
What questions are in the 2020 Census? You'll be asked a few simple questions about age, sex, race, number of folks living in your home, and their relationship to you. View a sample copy of the paper Census form.
The census will never ask for Social Security numbers, bank or credit card numbers, money or donations, or anything related to political parties
The 2020 Census will NOT have any question about citizenship status
While you may identify persons in your household as a same-sex partner or spouse, there are no sexual orientation or gender identity questions
The only options for a person's sex are "male" and "female" – if you identify differently, the National LGBTQ Taskforce has some suggestions in their guide
Draft copy of 2020 Census
Timeline of what will be sent to your mailbox in 2020:
March 12-20: Invitation letter to respond online to the 2020 census (some households will also receive paper questionnaires)
March 16-24: Reminder letter
March 26 – April 3: Reminder postcard
April 8-16: Reminder letter and paper questionnaire
April 20-27: Final reminder postcard before Census takers start following up in person
Community members talk about the importance of Census 2020 for Washington State (Washington Counts)
How do I respond to the 2020 Census? The 2020 Census marks the first time you will be invited to respond online—even on your mobile device. You can also respond by phone or mail. The invite you get in the mail by mid-March 2020 will include your Census ID, an online link, and a phone number. If you do not respond, a paper form will be sent in mid-April 2020 (some households may get a questionnaire much earlier if considered to be "less likely" to use the internet).
If you just moved, had a baby, or lost a member of your household on Census Day (April 1), or if you are a college student living in a dorm, have household members deployed overseas or in a correctional facility, or are living in an RV park, hotel, or tent, please check out this resource that explains who to count as part of your home.
2020 Census Factsheet in Vietnamese (other languages available here)
How accessible is the 2020 Census? Here are some facts:
Multiple languages available – The census form will be available in English and 12 additional languages. Videos and guides to the form will be available in 59 languages.
2020CENSUS.GOV is a 508-compliant website accessible to people with blindness or low vision, deafness or hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, photosensitivity, and various combinations of these.
If you prefer to respond by mail but do not receive a questionnaire in your first mailing from the U.S. Census Bureau, you can wait for the fourth mailing, in mid-April 2020, which will include a questionnaire.
If you have blindness or low vision, you can print a guide to the questionnaire in braille or large print from 2020CENSUS.GOV.
If you have deafness or a hearing loss, you can: respond to the census using telephone devices for hearing impaired; access video guides to the questionnaire in American Sign Language on 2020CENSUS.GOV; view online videos and webcasts with closed or open captioning; or request a visit from a census taker who uses American Sign Language.
From May – July 2020, census takers will visit households that have not yet responded. A census taker can assist if you need help completing your form.
In 2020, the Census Bureau will devote three days (March 30, 31, and April 1) to counting people who are experiencing homelessness, with checks in place to ensure that people aren't counted more than once.

This is an amazing 45 kilometre tour around Admiralty Island, up through the mangroves, past an original Sydney Harbour ferry and in to Mackey Creek. See crocodiles in their natural habitat. Watch as 150 pairs of nesting Ospreys glide in the skies above. The animal life is stunning with Ibis, Egrets, Sea eagles and too many more to mention.
Then it's a quick sprint over to Two Mouth Creek as we travel across the smooth waters to our last two creeks. Check out a few more crocs in Wrights creek before our final run into Blackfellow Creek and then the journey home.
This is by far, the best way to cruise the local waters of trinity inlet and see a few of the locals too.


Congratulations on the appointment of John Gouldson as Councillor in the recent Toowoomba Regional Council elections!

Stubborn man creates new tiny house community near Hearst, Ontario
February 15, 2022 6063 views7
By Maria Sturova
Photo: Rob The Tireman
Rob "The Tireman" is a charming and kind man in his sixties with a white beard and a booming laugh. He is a self-described "stubborn old man living in the forest." And he is looking for others to join him.
What brought Rob to a remote piece of unorganized land near Hearst, Ontario?
"I ended up here because I went broke fixing my cottage. I bought a cottage in 2017 and started rebuilding it, but COVID affected my finances toward the end and I did not have funds to finish my project. I couldn't live surrounded by unfinished work. I started falling into a depression."
Faced with the chaos of ongoing construction that he was not able to complete because his bank stopped funding the renovations, Rob battled other demons as well.
"I have a history of alcoholism and I've been sober now for many years. But, just recently in 2017, all the corner stores where I lived started selling alcohol. Every time I walked into the store, I was seeing the alcohol there on the left hand side. It's there and you see it every time you walk by and you're depressed. I started slipping back. And I stopped myself because I promised I would never live that way again. So, I said, "If I don't create change, nothing changes." So I created change."
"If I don't create change, nothing changes. So I created change."
"I put the cottage and my car up for sale and said, "I'm gonna have to find somewhere where I can live in a container building." I've been following container buildings for a long time. I had a towing company in the 90s and I actually built a truck trailer into an office. I couldn't put a container home just anywhere, so I had to find an unincorporated township. So that's what led me to this spot."
It wasn't easy to find unorganized land that was accessible, physically and financially. Much of the land that Rob initially found was landlocked with no access roads. Finally, he located a piece of land on an outdated website that had been for sale three years ago. It had access to a main road and was 63km away from a town – Hearst, Ontario.
"I found this parcel of land that is 5.75 acres. Right away, I thought this would make a great place for a tiny house community. When I came up to visit the land, it was a different story. It was horrible-looking to me. It was just awful. You can see it on the first video for my tiny town. I almost didn't buy it because of how I felt. But, I said, "This stubborn old man ain't gonna give up. Somehow I can make this work." And now I love it."
"This stubborn old man ain't gonna give up. Somehow I can make this work."
This stubborn man didn't give up. Rob is no stranger to hard work and determination. He has already invested a lot of time and money into making his tiny home community dream a reality. And his hope is that others will come make it their home as well.
"I hired multiple companies to clear it out, put in a gravel driveway and mulch the tiny home spots. It was over $30,000 in total, on top of the cost of the land. Now there is a camping spot carved out for each one of the slots. Anyone who comes will have their own spot surrounded by trees. Once I have a well put in, it will feed the whole property with water."
"I can't wait to have potluck dinners here and BBQs all summer. You don't need a big group of people to have a great time. Just good people. We are going to have excellent times."
"I hope this will be a place for kids to play. It's not going to happen overnight. But if everybody chips in to help, I will give up ⅓ of my one acre to clear out and put up a playground. I can't wait to have potluck dinners here and share stories about work you're doing and things like that. And all summer we're going to have BBQs. You don't need a big group of people to have a great time. Just good people. We are going to have excellent times."
Excellent times are just around the corner for Rob because already, he has several of his 6 lots taken. People are coming for the lifestyle that initially attracted Rob himself.
"You can fish, you can hike, you can enjoy the nature."
"All around, it's lakes, lakes, lakes. Every one of the roads leads to lakes. I haven't travelled to them all yet because I've been busy. But, I went to Rabbit Lake and the phone service is full bars there. I have no cell service here. So, that's where I go to use my phone. It's a beautiful place to make phone calls."
Rob doesn't have cell service, but he does have a great internet connection which allowed us to have a video call with no problems. He maintains a lively Youtube channel and a Facebook page about his budding community. Other than that, Rob is busy building and settling in
"I haven't had time to explore very much, because I've been working, building, and preparing wood. I want to build a nice community for good companionship, good collaboration. We can go together to explore the Crown Land that is behind the property. I can see on Google Maps that there is a stream there. We can enjoy our serenity."
Rob is happy where he is. The area has everything he needs and nothing that he doesn't need.
"There isn't a lot of consumer stuff here. There's no Walmart or anything like that. But whatever you need is here. There is a Home Hardware, a building center."
"I love it. It's quiet. I left my keys in the truck for two weeks. They were still there. I feel safer here than I ever have in my entire life."
"I feel safer here than I ever have in my entire life."
Rob ends on a note of mystery. "The town sign says, "Hearst is different." It is."
I guess, if you want to know why it's different, you'll have to go look for yourself. To connect with Rob, email him at [email protected]

LOVE what you are doing. I have thought about container home, a tiny home, and living in a RVA. Problem is there is no place to park it and land is very expensive. GREAT idea, i am very interested.
I lived in Hearst for 10 years ending in 2015 or so… too bad we didn't meet… I will send you an email and introduce myself…
Cool story. I am also considering using my 12 acres near Cochrane for my tiny home. Looking forward to pouring a foundation this summer.

Last night on the season finale of Sister Wives, Kody married his 4th wife, Robyn.
Cameras were "not invited" to the religious ceremony part of the wedding, but were present at the reception — although most of the guests and extended family members chose not to be filmed for the show. Janelle, Meri and Christine — Kody's three other wives — gave Robyn a claddagh ring as a wedding present, which Robyn found very moving. She said, "It's like I got into the sorority."
But before the nuptials, there was some drama. Robyn attempted to include the other women in the wedding planning as much she could — picking flowers, cake tasting and location searching. When it came to choosing a wedding dress, Robyn and the ladies had a great time as she tried on some different options, but Robyn didn't actually pick a dress while she was with them — she picked one later, with Kody. She'd intended for this to be a secret, but Kody bragged about it on camera, which got Christine so worked up that she had to leave the set.
Now that the show is over, and we can reflect on what we've learned, I think it is safe to say that there are benefits and drawbacks to being in a polygamous marriage. For these women, having a big family — lots of kids and other women to relate to and help out around the house — is really important. It's clear that there's a lot of love in the Brown family, and these are all consenting adults dealing with some of the same issues any married people have. That said, it's very strange that in a time when being a religious extremist is so reviled, these people are painted as a warm, happy unit. This particular polygamous situation is fraught with tension, jealousy, feelings of betrayal, double standards and heartbreak, and it is obvious that the women have to sacrifice, share and manage expectations in a way that Kody doesn't.
And when Robyn talks about making Kody's eggs properly, she sounds straight out of a 1950s home ec filmstrip. Pre-equality, pre-women's lib. Even though she says that he would do it for her and he's worth it, what proof do we have?

For Readers in 20 Countries, the Marrakesh Treaty is Now a Reality
Vision Australia and the CNIB in Canada have made the first exchange of books under the Marrakesh Treaty, which is now in effect in 20 countries. The treaty, which allows books and other materials to be shared in accessible formats across borders, took effect September 30 after Canada ratified it in June, pushing it across the 20 country threshhold necessary for adoption.
While over 80 countries and territories have signed the treaty, only 22 have ratified it as of this post. They are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Israel, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, North Korea, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (as of December 15), Singapore, Tunisia (As of December 7), United Arab Emirates, and Uruguay. It takes effect in each country three months after it is ratified. The treaty is widely supported by blindness and other organizations in the U.S. but efforts to ratify it have been stalled in the Senate.

Alright, time for me to get to work.
I was just about to regret up-voting this theme, but now I'm totally psyched about it.
Since my last entry was so offbeat, I am going to go for an all-too-familiar tower defense type game this time around.
Here's a quick reference for those of you making timelapse videos this year.


The Kiln Client and Tools (download this by clicking your avatar on the top-right of the UI, and then click "Kiln Client and Tools") comes bundled with preconfigured version of TortoiseHg with some extensions to Mercurial, optimized to work with Kiln. We strongly recommend you use this version.
…as well as Joel's generic Hg tutorial, hginit.com.
New options in the Windows context menu (the one you get by right clicking on something in Explorer) to give you Mercurial controls. When you right-click inside a repository, you get access to the most commonly used commands.
hg commit -m "Fixing mixed line endings that were causing diffs to look crazy"
The GUI gives you a place to enter a commit message, and a bunch of other useful controls (this is the GUI I use most frequently). The GUI that is least useful, for me, is the one the deals with push/pull/update. I simply find it easier to use the command line interface for these commands.
I would recommend trying them all out to find out which ones are most useful for you. For a day, simply replace your hg commands with thg. This should help you figure out which interfaces actually help you the most.

Just as providers are (once again) gearing up for the transition to ICD-10, a new battle is brewing that has many experiencing déjà vu. In recent weeks, several state medical associations have begun lobbying Congress to attach a two-year delay to a "must pass" spending bill this month, prompting ICD-10 proponents to take to social media to speak out against the effort.
(For those of you not following, the transition to ICD-10 – a system of codes used to describe medical services in bills sent to payors – was delayed by a year after it was attached to a similar "must pass" bill back in April).
While hashtag campaigns aren't new, I have to give props to the folks behind the #ICD10matters campaign (namely AHIMA and the Coalition for ICD-10) for bringing a fresh approach to this stale debate. In addition to sending the usual letters and emails to Congress, AHIMA recently held a "tweet rally," encouraging members to tweet messages of support for ICD10 implementation to their elected representatives and tag them #nodelay or #ICD10matters. Members from across the country obliged – sending more than 4,000 tweets highlighting the benefits of the new coding system in a matter of hours. From a compelling infographic that demonstrates the real-world impact ICD10 could have on tracking the spread of ebola to a slew of messages touting ICD-10's effect on everything from payment cycles to population health, the campaign drove home the reasons why many believe it's time for a change. Many participants even injected a little humor into the debate (this tweet is a personal favorite).
Only time will tell if these efforts made a difference but one thing is certain. No matter what side of the debate you're on, it seems clear that further starts and stops will only make it more difficult to engage employees and physicians around the transition. As a communications professional involved in ICD-10 awareness and training efforts, I know how challenging it is to get the attention of busy providers. We can only cry wolf so many times before people stop listening, which underscores the importance of setting a deadline – any deadline – and sticking to it. What do you think?

Plantation forests of Australian hardwood species in South-East Asia now exceed 7 million hectares, and the viability of these plantations is increasingly threatened by diseases and pests.
Workshop participants at the Biological Control workshop in Indonesia.
Thanks to the Crawford Fund and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 70 participants from around Southeast Asia and Fiji met in Jogjakarta, Indonesia for a workshop on biological control as a sustainable option for the management of these pests and diseases.
Held recently, the workshop brought together over 14 facilitators from around Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Fiji and Thailand, with the aim of exploring myths and realities of biological control in forestry, the regulatory framework for biocontrol and how to critically evaluate success or failure in hardwood plantations in Southeast Asia.
Focused on introducing the general concepts of biocontrol, the biocontrol of fungal pathogens and biocontrol strategies against invasive insect pests, the workshop featured 3 keynote speakers: Marc Kenis from the Invasion Ecology and Risk Assessment Section, CABI, Switzerland; Simon Lawson from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia; and Caroline Mohammed from the University of Tasmania, Australia.
In an effort to reduce the impact of productivity limiting diseases in Acacia plantations, the workshop was designed to provide training in the development and application of biological control technologies for insect pests and fungal diseases in tropical tree plantations.
A simulation exercise for all participants focused on a practical interactive exercise in decision-making following the introduction of a new exotic insect pest into a plantation estate. A series of decision points were outlined for group discussion to reinforce the concepts of classical biocontrol and its regulatory environment and to increase participants' confidence in making appropriate decisions about biocontrol, all in line with the goals of building capacity and collaboration on forest health in Indonesia.
While feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, the urgent need for regional collaboration in both biocontrol and biosecurity research and implementation was highlighted.
Bringing together representatives of the major public-sector research organisations from Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and Myanmar countries, universities in Indonesia and Thailand, and major industry partners in Indonesia, an additional goal of the workshop was to establish and nurture professional networks among forest health workers in Southeast Asia and beyond.
With workshops like this critical in assisting in establishing and nurturing the relationships required for increased levels of collaboration, training facilitators noted a willingness amongst participants to find new ways and funding to collaborate in research that will improve biosecurity for partners in both Southeast Asia and Australia. In a positive step towards this, following the workshop, feedback from participants indicated that they would either extend the scope of their biocontrol research or adopt a collaborative approach to insect pest and disease management.

The US government won't put a new price on carbon — Quartz
The US government's price on carbon doesn't value the future much
By Michael J. Coren
Climate reporter
FROM OUR OBSESSION
The climate economy
Every decision counts.
The "social cost of carbon" is a concept virtually unknown outside of academia and federal agencies. But this shadow metric—which estimates the dollar cost of putting one more ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere—touches virtually everything the government does. It informs decisions about everything from vehicle fuel mileage standards to buildings to oil leases to the climate itself.
Right now, though, its value in the United States is in limbo, as a recent report from the Government Accountability Office (pdf) lays out. Calculating an accurate social cost of carbon (SCC) is one of the more important, if least-watched, political battles over climate change.
Until recently, the SCC had been set by a group of scientists and economists working across the federal government. An interagency working group, established in 2009, estimated the net economic damages of climate impacts, from agriculture and human health to property damage and energy costs. Their figures put the social cost of carbon between $50 and $75 per ton in 2020, with a catastrophic "high-impact" scenario figure at $150 per ton.
That changed in March 2017, when the Trump administration issued an executive order (pdf; p 4) dissolving the working group and rejecting its conclusions as "as no longer representative of governmental policy." The SCC was slashed by a factor of seven. Today, the government uses a $7 cost per ton in most cases, down from $50 per ton during the Obama administration. Similar reductions were made for SCC projections through 2050.
Since 2008, a United States federal court has ruled agencies must consider SCC when writing regulations that affect emissions. Not doing so could render federal rule-making "arbitrary and capricious," a disqualifying verdict in courts. Reducing its value makes it easier to justify federal decisions that increase emissions and run counter to climate change mitigation goals.
How did the White House justify such a dramatic reduction to social cost of carbon estimates? First, it limited damage assessments to the United States, rather than consider the global impacts of greenhouse gases emitted into our collective atmosphere.
The second change increased a number called the discount rate, a small figure with a big effect. The discount rate is way to reflect the fact that people generally value the future less than the present: Any future benefit (or cost) is reduced by a certain percentage each year from the present day. For example, if emissions from an oil field lead to $25 billion in damages in 2050, those future damages will be valued at $3 billion under a 7% discount rate. Under a 1% discount rate, the damages would be $19 billion.
As of 2017, the Trump administration's new discount rate for SCC is between 3% to 7%—up from 2.5% to 5% during the Obama administration. When setting funding priorities and regulatory policy for government agencies, the Office of Management and Budget has been instructed to use the maximum rate of 7%.
That leaves the US without many peers, says Peter Howard, an economics director at New York University School of Law's think tank for government decision-making, Policy Integrity. "Few economists think that [discount rate] is appropriate," said Howard. "Seven percent is an extreme outlier."
Most jurisdictions use far higher estimates for SCC, too. Many of the 11 US states using SCC in policy, including California, Minnesota, and New York, still use the previous federal standards (pdf; p 41). Germany has estimated the SCC at about $220 per ton, rising to as much as $885 per ton in high-impact scenarios.
In 2017, the National Academies of Science set a deadline of 2022 to use "the best available science" to set a social cost of carbon. Government agencies are now awaiting new regulations based on that guidance. But with no research underway, no federal working groups, and no agency tasked with issuing them, the GAO report says it will be hard to apply the "best available science" to any new standard. That effectively leaves it up the discretion of the occupant of the White House.

Bringing hidden resources to light (2017)
Bazzell, Tokiko Y.
During the Allied Forces Occupation of Japan after WWII, published materials such as books, magazines, and newspapers were censored from 1945 through 1949 by the Civil Censorship Detachment (CCD) under the Supreme Commander for Allied Powers (SCAP). In addition to publications, Japan's traditional performing arts such as Noh, Joruri, and Kabuki plays were also censored, with an estimated 100,000 Kabuki scripts censored during the period.

From hinagata to isho (2017)
Yamada McVey, Kuniko
Harvard-Yenching Library holds a few hundred volumes of Japanese design catalogs from the late Edo period to the early 20th century. These were originally called Hinagata, then Ishō, or Zuan in the modern era. Typical contents of traditional Hinagata include kimono patterns, architectural decorations, and details, weaving patterns. Many are hand-drawn in color. They were used for practical purposes, such as kimono merchants taking orders from clients. After the Meiji restoration in 1868 when Japan opened to the outside world, the new government promoted the export of Japanese craft goods such as pottery, lacquer ware, textiles to earn the currency necessary for building the modern nation. These goods were well received in Europe where "Japonisme" was already popular. Many designers for these craft goods were trained in Kyoto and publishers there produced color woodblock print design catalogs introducing these designers' works

Q: Creating a table record - Google Spreadsheets API I am trying to learn how to use the Google Spreadsheets API through the Developer's Guide: Java. My application can authenticate to the spreadsheets service,retrieve a worksheet-based feed and create a table. The next step would be to create a table record what I am trying to do. My problem is when I run the application I obtain this error :
Service failure
com.google.gdata.util.InvalidEntryException: Bad Request
[Line 1, Column 429, element entry] Required extension element  http://schemas.google.com/spreadsheets/2006:header not found.

This is the code part for the creation of the table :
//Creating a table record
String nameValuePairs = "Column A=Rosa";
RecordEntry entryToChange = new RecordEntry();
// Split first by the commas between the different fields.
for (String nameValuePair : nameValuePairs.split(",")) {
    // Then split by the equal sign.
    String[] parts = nameValuePair.split("=", 2);
    String name = parts[0]; // such as "name"
    String value = parts[1]; // such as "Fred"

    entryToChange.addField(new Field(null, name, value));
}
try {
    myService.insert(tableFeedUrl, entryToChange);
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("I/0 problem");
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ServiceException e) {
    System.err.println("Service failure");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

tableFeedUrl :
tableFeedUrl = factory.getTableFeedUrl(entry.getKey());

entry :
entry = spreadsheets.get(0);

Apparently the problem come from :
myService.insert(tableFeedUrl, entryToChange);

but I am not sure and I don't understand why...
Thank you for your help.

A: I have found the solution. I answer my own question for those who will have the same problem.
I use :
myService.insert(tableFeedUrl, entryToChange);

"tableFeedUrl" corresponds to :
http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/<key>/tables/

this's not the right link to access to the table (the doc).
But in the Java developers guide it's notice we have to use :
myService.insert(recordFeedUrl, entryToChange);

"recordFeedUrl" results from :
URL recordFeedUrl = tableEntry.getRecordFeedUrl();

But the method : getRecordFeedUrl() doesn't exist... (the doc)
The solution is to create manually the URL :
recordFeedUrl = new URL(table.getId().toString().replace("tables", "records"));

So the URL corresponds to the table :
https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/<key>/records/60

"60" corresponds to the table number.
I hope it will help!
