Earlier, Fakhar and Sarfraz found form with fighting knocks after Australia spinner Nathan Lyon (4-78) had rocked Pakistan in the morning session, taking each of his four wickets in the space of six balls with the score on 57.
The visitors started this test in equal fashion with a stunning 11-minute period by offspinner Lyon.
First to go was arguably Pakistan's best batsman in Azhar Ali who's ill-advised charge down the wicket gifted Lyon a simple catch, before Haris Sohail was smartly caught by Travis Head the very next delivery. Lyon has figures of 4-58. In the process, Lyon surpassed former paceman Mitchell Johnson to move to fourth on Australia's list of all-time leading wicket-takers with 314. Zaman survived being dropped on 30 by Labuschagne off an irked Jon Holland, and later a close run out.
Labuschagne, who took a juggling grab to remove Mohammad Hafeez off Mitchell Starc in the third over, also dismissed Sarfraz.
After crashing to 57-5 in the first session, Pakistan outsmarted Australia in the second session through Zaman and Ahmed as they scored 127 runs. It ended a remarkable 147-run, sixth-wicket stand lasting 37 overs.

World Fine Art Professionals and their Key-Pieces, 189 – Aat Verhoog | Marbella Marbella – Adelante!
On a sunny Whit Monday, I went to visit Aat Verhoog. His studio is located on the Oosterbeek Estate on the border between Wassenaar and The Hague. In this area was the famous Film Complex 'Film City' of Loet Barnstijn. Many buildings have disappeared, but the former technical workshop is still there and now offers workspace for artists such as Aat Verhoog.
There are two easels with work on it. On the left a work in progress, it is almost finished. A young woman putting on her blue sweater. Or does she pull it out? She has nice shoes in a checkered pattern. "To real model, those shoes are more here than in my wife's closet. A large layer of gold will be added to the painting." Behind more paintings. A woman on a staircase, a duck flies by. Head and duck become almost a whole. Verhoog removes some other work, and then it suddenly turns out to be a very elongated painting, with a boy with long hair at the bottom of the stairs.
I see the right part of a beautiful triptych that also hung in Pulchri. In the central part, a blonde woman points to a woman with black hair the hole of the door. It looks like a classic piece that could also have been made in the Renaissance under the title 'The Expulsion of the Evil Angel to Hell'.
Does he have key works, works that meant a turn in his work? He has it, but he has sold them, he says. These are works that show his transition from direct realism to multiple perspectives. "The direct realism, a painted picture, for example, yields beautiful things. You look like it was with 'the view of the camera'.
Poets were inspired by the work of Verhoog. Gerrit Kouwenaar wrote ten poems about his work. Finally, a Kouwenaar poem in response to the painting 'Blue Summer' (1978) with a woman in a white folding chair on a pebble beach. The woman is blue, the sky is blue and the pebbles have a blue sheen.
does she know them one by one?

Let's just say that this is going to be one of the biggest coverages of any of our shows. We might be breaking it up in 5 different pieces since we had multiple awesome photographers present. On top of all that, the event had a thousand cars. If we are being real with you, it's almost impossible for one photographer to take multiple photos of every single car that was there in the 5 or so of the show hours. For years, we've discussed the possibility of making this a two-day event but it was simply not possible. One other reason we are going to be going into such depths in this coverage is because this was the last year we could use this particular location. With Tokyo Auto Salon coming up in 2020, the parking lot will not be available to public for years to come. We'll touch more on that in the next part but for now let's just get you into some visuals. First up we have a ton of awesome photos by Yuuki Kouno (or Rock Photograph, as most know him). Stay tuned for more!

Locksley named assistant coach at Alabama
By Aaron SuttlesSports Writer
When Mario Cristobal left the University of Alabama coaching staff last week it not only left a hole on the field for the Crimson Tide offensive staff but also in its recruiting efforts as well.
That hole was filled Monday afternoon when UA head coach tapped Mike Locksley to fill the void. It is unclear which position Locksley will coach (Cristobal coached offensive tackles/tight ends) but he brings a wealth of experience as a veteran head coach. He served as an offensive analyst for Alabama in 2016.
Locksley brings a strong reputation as a recruiter, especially in the mid-Atlantic area of the country, where Alabama has landed a variety of players over the recent past including Cyrus and Arie Kouandjio, Cyrus Jones, Da'Shawn Hand, Jonathan Allen and Trevon Diggs.
Locksley was a head coach at New Mexico from 2009-11 and served as an interim head coach at Maryland for six games of the 2015 season.
"We are excited to add Mike Locksley to our staff as an assistant coach on the offensive side of the football," Saban said. "He is an outstanding offensive mind who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as both a head coach and offensive coordinator. Mike is also one of the best recruiters in the nation and will be an excellent addition to our staff. His time as an analyst with us over the past season should also ensure a smooth transition and a full understanding of how our organization operates."

#sextrafficking | Underground party in California leads to 158 arrested, sex trafficking victim rescued | #tinder | #pof | #match
December 9, 2020 Author: Dating Scams 101
More than 150 people were arrested and a juvenile sex trafficking victim was rescued after Los Angeles County authorities shut down a massive underground party.
Deputies broke up the party Saturday night at a vacant home in Palmdale, northeast of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a news conference on Tuesday that organizers broke into the home and used a rental truck to move their party equipment.
"This is how brazen this operation was," Villanueva said, calling the party a "superspreader" event that could become a "deadly source of contagion" during the coronavirus pandemic.
"As you can see, this was a flagrant violation of the governor's health order. But also please understand that even without the health order, these actions were criminal in nature," he said.
Authorities arrested 158 people at the party, including 35 juveniles. A 17-year-old girl who Villanueva described as a "commercially sexually exploited child" was rescued from the home. Six guns were also recovered.
Villanueva said the department had received information that the party would be taking place. Authorities are tracking other large gatherings, he said.
"Had we done the normal approach, break up the party before, the same victim would have been taken to the next location, so this actually rescued her from that," Villanueva said at a news conference. "She would have been passed down to the next party."
Just days before the gathering, Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced a new regional stay-at-home order that will require bars, wineries, hair salons and other nonessential businesses to shut down for three weeks once a region's intensive care capacity falls below 15 percent.
According to NBC News data, California has had one of the most significant surges in new Covid-19 cases in the country over the past few weeks.

Pieter Willem Botha (born 1916) was inaugurated as the first executive state president of the Republic of South Africa in 1984 after serving for six years as prime minister. Botha's administration was characterized by civil unrest. His policies have been assessed as essentially opportunistic, swaying from the progressive front to the radical right wing. Botha is best known for his stubbornness, a trait which earned him the nickname of The Old Crocodile.
Pieter Willem Botha, who is widely referred to by the Afrikaans pronunciation of his first two initials— "pee-vee"—was born on January 12, 1916, at "Telegraaf" farm in the Paul Roux district of the Orange Free State. In South African parlance, he is an Afrikaner, that is, a white person who speaks Afrikaans, a derivation of the Dutch language, as mother tongue. However, he is also fluent in English.
Botha's early education was at Paul Roux. Later he attended secondary school in Bethlehem before entering the University of the Orange Free State in Bloemfontein to study law. But he left the university before completing a degree in order to begin a full-time political career, a decision made when he was only 20 years old.
The rural Orange Free State was among the most Afrikaans-speaking regions of South Africa, and for many decades it was a bastion of extreme political conservatism among whites. Thus, it was not surprising that Botha affiliated in 1936 with the right-wing, ethnically-oriented National party, though at the time this was still a minority party in South African white politics. Botha was initially appointed by the party leader D. F. Malan as a political organizer for the Nationalists in neighboring Cape Province. Later he was made responsible for national publicity during the campaign leading up to the May 1948 general election, an election which the Nationalists unexpectedly won.
In the 1948 election Botha won a seat in the House of Assembly, the lower chamber of South Africa's bicameral parliament at the time, for the George constituency in the southern Cape Province. He would hold this seat for the next 36 years, becoming the assembly's longest serving member. Also in 1948 Botha was made chief secretary of the National party in the Cape Province, a post he held for a decade. His long association with the Cape Province is said to have somewhat eroded Botha's inherited conservatism in favor of what is referred to as traditional "Cape liberalism."
In 1958 Botha was appointed deputy interior minister under Prime Minister H. F. Verwoerd. Three years later he was promoted to full minister, gaining the portfolios of community development and biracial affairs. In 1964 he was made minister of public works, and two years later defense minister. Botha held this latter position for the next 14 years and was the responsible cabinet minister at the time of the South African military's ill-fated invasion of Angola at the end of 1975. During his long tenure as defense minister, annual military expenditures increased 20-fold, and South Africa, which had been subject to an international arms embargo since 1963, became virtually self-sufficient in the manufacture of weapons. Botha also created new opportunities in the military for women and nonwhite South Africans.
Early in his years as defense minister, Botha gained a reputation for toughness, known as "kragdadigheit" in Afrikaans, as well as for efficient administration. These qualities pushed him to the fore when Prime Minister B. J. Vorster unexpectedly resigned in 1978. During this time Botha was also prominent as the Cape provincial leader of his party. Nevertheless, his elevation to the premiership on September 28, 1978, was to some degree unexpected and aided by a well-publicized scandal in the Department of Information. This fatally compromised the reputation of its minister, Connie Mulder, another serious contender for the position and then the National party's leader in the important Transvaal province. Thereafter, in a series of speeches, Botha seemed to try to direct the country into reformist paths and away from the racial "apartheid" (separation) which had been an article of faith for the National party since 1948. The new prime minister told his fellow whites that they would have to "adapt or die."
Predictably, the right wing of the National party, especially in the Transvaal, strenuously resisted this suggestion, and for some years the ensuing struggle over policy within the governing party seemed to neutralize Botha's reformist intentions. Then in 1982 elements on the right of the National party finally broke off to form the new Conservative party, shifting the political balance in favor of "reformism" among remaining Nationalists. One result of this was the new South African Constitution of 1983, which continued to exclude all South African blacks (72% of the total population) from any participation whatsoever in the central institutions of the state. But it did for the first time admit Asians and mulattos to membership in Parliament (albeit in racially segregated chambers) and the national cabinet.
Concurrent with these changes, Botha's own role was restructured with his elevation through an indirect election of the new tricameral parliament to the post of executive state president (as distinct from the previous ceremonial position of the same name). The earlier position of prime minister had been abolished. Until the middle of 1985, however, there was little to suggest that Botha's constitutional or other reforms had lessened unrest within the country's black population, unrest that had in fact continued in one form or another for nearly a decade from the time of the Soweto uprisings of 1976-1977.
Over the course of time, Botha's liberalism was increasingly perceived as political opportunism. His lack of a firm resolve caused his policies to be received with question. He moved successfully for the repeal of the oppressive passbook system which precluded free mobility within the region by blacks, but the passbooks were replaced by a racially biased ID card requirement for all citizens (black and white). Scores of political prisoners were released, and the squatting practices of blacks were legitimized, but promises to invest all blacks and mulattos with full citizenship rights remained unfulfilled. The country was wracked by heavy rioting and was further plagued by outside sanctions imposed by the international community. This dubious relationship with the country's black population was further scarred by Botha's handling of an ongoing situation with the prisoner Nelson Mandela. In May of 1986 the government backed a series of commando attacks in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, and South Africa. The attacks initiated new rioting, which left dozens of people dead and tens of thousands homeless and caused an escalation of racial tensions. By June 12 a national state of emergency was declared by the government in Pretoria. Botha's government was condemned abroad for these activities. Existing international sanctions were augmented, including new sanctions from Zimbabwe and Zambia. Nonetheless, Botha and the National party held strong. The sanctions proved only mildly effective as the price of gold, South Africa's chief export, rose sharply. Botha's transient loyalties had migrated further to the right by the time of the Parliamentary elections in March of 1988. He banned many antiapartheid organizations and sanctioned the arrest of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
By August of 1988, however, Botha had shifted his strategy once again. He relaxed his foreign policies toward Angola, Namibia, and other African states, although his intentions were regarded with suspicion, especially by Mozambique. Anti-squatting laws were re-introduced with a vengeance.
On January 18, 1989, Botha suffered a stroke which left him partially paralyzed. He refused to resign and was subsequently ousted from office by members of his own party. Despite the party's actions, he tenaciously retained the presidency amid persistent rumors of his resignation. On July 5, 1989, an historic meeting took place between Botha and Mandela. Mandela's release was not effected at that time, but the meeting was hailed as a coup and a breakthrough between the white ruling party and the black majority. Botha officially resigned from the presidency on August 14, 1989. On May 6, 1990, he resigned from the National party.
Botha has persistently refused to apologize for his role in the establishment of the apartheid system which was eventually abolished under the administration of Frederik W. deKlerk, Botha's successor. Seven years later, in 1996 and 1997, Botha was implicated in a series of bombings which had taken place in the 1980s against the African National Congress.
Regarding South Africa's international relations, Botha's leadership brought several notable breaches in the country's long standing isolation in world affairs, although he simultaneously warned of an externally based "total onslaught" against the republic. He met with President Kaunda of Zambia in 1982, and in March 1984 he signed the "Nkomati Accord" with President Samora Machel of Mozambique. This agreement sought the pacification of the two countries' long common border. Later in the same year Botha officially visited seven Western European capitals, the first South African head of government to be so received in many decades.
Botha was married to Elsie Rossouw on March 13, 1943. They have two sons and three daughters. Botha received two honorary doctor's degrees, including a degree in military science from the University of Stellenbosch in 1976.
There is no standard biography of P. W. Botha in English. On South African politics in general, see Leonard Thompson and Andrew Prior, South African Politics (1982). For a perspective on Afrikaner politics, see Heribert Adam and Hermann Giliomee, Ethnic Power Mobilized: Can South Africa Change? (1979). A journalist's account of P. W. Botha's June 1984 trip through Europe is found in John Scott's Venture to the Exterior (Port Elizabeth, 1984).

Pieter Willem Botha (pē´tər vĬl´əm bō´tə), 1916–2006, South African political leader. An Afrikaner and a member of the right-wing National party, he first entered parliament in 1948. Botha gained prominence as minister of defense (1966–80) and became prime minister in 1978. He initiated a limited reform of apartheid policies, establishing a new constitution that provided legislative chambers for whites, Coloureds (persons of mixed race), and Asians but excluded the black majority; under it, he became executive president in 1984. While hinting at the possibility of dismantling apartheid, and beginning negotiations with Nelson Mandela, he promoted the bantustan (homelands) policy, violently repressed dissent, encouraged tribal rivalries within the country, and actively destabilized neighboring nations, particularly those that harbored African National Congress forces. Reelected in 1987, he resigned over party differences in 1989 and was succeeded by F. W. de Klerk. His 1998 contempt conviction for refusing to testify before the Truth Commission regarding apartheid-era crimes was overturned by an appeals court.

As defence minister (1966–78), he increased South Africa's armed forces and was responsible for the military involvement in Angola. He became prime minister (1978) and undertook limited reform of apartheid. The adoption of a new, racial constitution allowed the participation of non-whites in parliamentary government, but excluded the black majority. In 1980 he established the Southwest Africa Territorial Force, as part of a destabilization policy of South Africa's neighbours. He became the state's first president (1980) and was re-elected in 1987. In 1989 he suffered a stroke and, amid increasing National party factionalism, resigned and was replaced by the more reform-minded F. W. de Klerk.

Sometimes rankings don't tell the whole story.
Based on rankings, No. 1 Stanford men's swim and dive should have demolished No. 2 Cal. Based on rankings, Stanford should have won their third consecutive Pac-12 Championship.
This time around, the Bears wrote the story.
Cal made a statement last week, winning 11 of 18 swimming events — including four of five relays — en route to its first Pac-12 Championship since 2014.
The Pac-12 Swimmer of the Meet award reunited with a familiar face in junior Andrew Seliskar, who won the honors as a freshman in 2016. Seliskar wrote his name all over the Pac-12 record books, taking apart previous 400 IM and 200 breast championship records. To cap it off, he also swam legs in two winning relays.
"Even though we were up here competing as a group of swimmers, really our divers set the table for us last week by doing a great job on all three levels, and that just really inspired us to come out this week and get the job done over the last three and a half days," said Cal head coach Dave Durden.
After the men's diving portion last week, Cal was in third place. The Bears were catapulted into second place overall after two blazing relay swims in the 200 medley and 800 free to kick off the week. Their two winning times were good for the third- and fourth-fastest time in the country this season.
It only took halfway through the second day of competition for the Bears to rise to the top.
Half of the swimmers lined up on the block in the 50 free finals donned the blue and gold, with senior Justin Lynch winning the sprint in 19.00 flat. Sophomores Pawel Sendyk and Michael Jensen took third and fifth, with freshman Ryan Hoffer rounding out Cal at sixth.
After the 50 free, the Bears were in first place and would not relinquish their coveted position.
The very next event — the 200 free relay — saw that same quartet team up to touch first in 1:15.78, the third-fastest swim in the country this year.
Cal junior Nick Norman became the Bears' first Pac-12 champion in the 1650 free, swimming an NCAA "A" time of 14:39.77. Freshman Sean Grieshop followed Norman to place second in front of six Stanford distance swimmers, a group that has constantly finished in front of Cal in previous meets.
For a Cal squad that has its sights set on the big prize in late March, the Pac-12 Championship was a great time to get the butterflies out of their stomachs.
As the swimmers are riding a high, two Cal divers make their way to high-altitude Flagstaff, Arizona, for the NCAA Zone E Championships this week. Sophomore Connor Callahan and freshman Johnny Robinson will try to punch their tickets to the NCAA championships.
Robinson's debut at this competition will come at a familiar location. The Bears competed at Flagstaff in November, when Robinson qualified for the Zones competition, and they also spent the beginning of January training in the same thin air. He will compete in the 3-meter and platform.
Callahan's first Zones competition last year was a successful one, with his seventh place finish in the 1-meter netting him a trip to the NCAA championships. In his second go-around, he is tabbed for all three events.

Some years ago, Joan B. was among my wife's circle of close female friends. She was in her mid-40s, active, intelligent, happily married with two good kids, keeping a comfortable suburban home, and generally living the prototypical suburban middle-class life. Always busy, she often expressed the desire to travel to various exotic places, but she dismissed those yens as impractical and relegated them to the "maybe later" category.
Sadly for Joan, "maybe later" never came. One day, without any warning symptoms, she suffered a catastrophic brain hemorrhage; after two months in a coma, doctors and family reluctantly decided to remove life support. Since that time, whenever any of that group of friends discussed delaying some adventure or trip because of day-to-day pressures and preoccupations, the others always countered with "Remember Joan" and urged her to go ahead while she could. My wife and I, too, often used this rationale—for which I am very grateful, because we took some great Joan trips before an unexpected stroke grounded my wife for the remainder of her days.
The alternative term to "Joan trip" is, of course, "bucket list trip." But a bucket list implies foreknowledge of some imminent dire consequence, which should not necessarily be the case. The idea is to take a "Joan trip" while you're still on top of your game, not to wait until you get some sort of bad news or, finally, the inevitable death sentence.
I'm in the process of planning my own Joan trip, using some frequent flyer miles piled up over the years when I thought I was too busy to travel. Yes, I was busy then, and I still am, but because of repeated postponements, my wife can no longer come with me. So I'm going now while I'm still able.
I have enough miles that my Joan trip will be a big one: I'm taking a month to fly around the world in business class, with a total transportation outlay of miles plus $199.25 in taxes and fees. My trip will be a combination of stops in places that I never had a chance to visit before, including Beijing and Istanbul, with return visits to the places in Europe I've visited and loved for years.
My Joan trip won't be entirely fun and games. I'll be schlepping a notebook computer and every hotel I've booked has Wi-Fi, so I'll be able to keep up with my columns. And SmarterTravel will post an online "Ed's Joan Trip Journal," which I will file every day or two. Look for it if you're interested.
Your Joan trip doesn't have to be expensive: It can be as simple as a camping trip you had postponed, or a quick trip to a nearby seacoast or lake, or taking the kids to that theme park you've always promised. Or how about taking in that music, theater, art, or cooking festival you've always wanted to attend, or a fishing trip with your buddies?
The idea isn't to spend a lot of money. These days, many of you are pretty squeezed, and you're worried that "maybe later" will morph into "probably never." Try to avoid total negativism and figure something that would be fun and within your means. Remember, money can be replaced—albeit sometimes with great difficulty—but time can never be.
Neither frequent flyer miles nor people improve with age, so burning off any surplus miles you might have is a good way to cut the financial bite out of a Joan trip. Obviously, you don't have to blow as many miles as I did. 50,000 miles will take a couple most places in the United States and to nearby Canadian, Caribbean and Mexican spots, while 120,000 miles will get a couple to Europe. Sure, it's hard to score low-mileage-level seats, but be flexible about time and a specific destination, or go when your airline (or a partner line) has seats. There's nothing wrong with being frugal; just don't wait as long as Joan did.

Europe's seas provide important economic, environmental and social benefits including healthy, secure food supplies and other resources, and employment in coastal communities. At the same time, seas are subject to competing demands, including pollution, warming and acidification. Some fish stocks are not fished at sustainable levels and some habitats and species are threatened by the pressures on our seas. Many of the threats facing Europe's seas require cooperation between Member States to tackle them efficiently. In June 2008, with the adoption of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the first encompassing piece of EU legislation specifically aimed at the protection of the marine environment, the European Union has set itself the aim of achieving or maintaining Good Environmental Status of the EU's marine waters by 2020, protecting the resource base upon which marine-related economic and social activities depend.
Legal and policy experts at Milieu have considerable experience in the marine area, in particular with regard to international agreements and transnational programmes. We lead a large consortium to support DG Environment in addressing the numerous challenges the EU and the Member States face in the implementation of the Directive.

Ready Player One Came Out Too Soon by MiscRave
September 6, 2020 September 28, 2020 Luigi Kawasaki
I've always loved VR since I first heard about it as a kid in the 90s and seeing what that could be in the future. I was disappointed when the hype for VR died in that decade and was glad that we would get a revival of Virtua Reality in the mid 2010s, the tech had finally begun evolving again and we're now seeing the fruits of that new wave of VR and AR. Hype came and went but the tech is still evolving and Steven Spielberg gave us a movie based on a book and well some hated the book but liked the movie some hated both, I think the movie misses a few points but is the best Virtual Reality movie we have until now, we have some cooler VR shows though.
Apparently the book by Ernest Cline is full of references to pop culture, more specifically the 80s that it becomes distracting. The movie definitely does, which makes sense especially with how much Spielberg influenced that decade. They're definitely cool, I mean the T-Rex from Jurassic Park chasing Back to the Future's Deolrian? but in a way makes it hard for the movie to have an identity and ironically make it not become pop-culture because of it. I also don't think the people will still be obsessed with the 1980s in the year 2045, we've had 80s nostalgia be mainstream since the early 2000's. I'm not complaining though, seeing the Ninja Turtles and Spawn up there with other characters I recognize or don't recognize is just cool.
I like the way they set up VR glasses and headsets, I do think that's similar to how things would eventually become; Just like the Television and Smartphones before it. People will become obsessed with the technology and just do everything with it, with those who were early adopters of VR having the benefit of being first and also getting bored first. It's too bad the movie doesn't focus more on that since that was an interesting point that was barely touched by the movie, Kiss Me First, a VR show I also similarly forgets about that after the first few episodes like this movie did.
As far as the actual plot it feels like a classic kid adventure story from the 80s where you are on a quest to find something. Is it realistic? Not at all and while it doesn't have the magic that those type of movies used to have, it gets very close of having an objective to be able to become something, I think in parts it was not gritty enough and in others too gritty for this to happen. The balance between finding a target audience sort of hurts the movie. The ending is predictable but it works alright, it's not the best movie because of it but it's a fine experience.
Sadly most of the characters are not interesting enough, we do get a few that are but the main characters don't have enough charisma to get you to like them, just enough to go through the movie. The avatar system I would think is silly except I've spent plenty of time on VR Chat and hanging out with Uganda Knuckles to know that well people will do that. I think a more interesting plot could've been done with the same story and just having some slight changes here and there.
I don't think we'll ever get a world anywhere like the Oasis but shows us what our world could be like, this movie deserves a little more love despite its flaws and this is my little tribute to it. The concept art alone of the movie goes to show that VR has not been used enough in fiction but we'll see more content, and hopefully more 90s influences in EXTREME digital avatars and a little more time to see the virtual world and why it's so awesome in a future movie.
There will be a sequel book apparently and likely a sequel movie so I guess Ready Player Two will happen. I'd like to see more things explored, the book will follow the same kids which is a shame but who knows what it can be about. I'd watch a movie, we need more Virtual Reality in fiction but in the meantime click to read some of our VR articles at MiscRave since entering a digital world is pretty raving.

So I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while and finally a class has given me the push to do it. My blog will include some class work and some individual stuff, but all having to do with stories and my perspective of them. Whether it be a review of a play that I have seen, my thoughts on a movie, or one of my news stories. It will be the kind of mash-up that is me! Hope you enjoy reading!


Akamai strikes up deal with AT&T to develop new solutions as multimedia content continues to pile up demand on networks.
AT&T and Akamai are teaming up to offer new content delivery network solutions to their business customers as video and other large loads of content ramp up demand across networks.
Essentially, AT&T is combining Akamai's content delivery platform with its own IP network to deliver to this new suite of CDN solutions, which will be jointly-marketed, managed and supported by the two companies.
AT&T will transfer its existing CDN operations, customers and service to the Akamai platform starting next year.
Akamai will deploy its servers at the edge of AT&T's IP network and within AT&T facilities throughout the United States.
The goal is to provide businesses with faster access and ownership for digital video, web-based apps, and other assets that are both in high demand and volume.
With the deployment of Akamai's CDN infrastructure integrated with AT&T's network infrastructure, both companies boast that customers will see more efficient content routing and better delivery of digital content.
Although it is described as a "global strategic alliance," AT&T and Akamai will actually first focus this initiative on North America, with plans to expand worldwide within a year.

Orthodontics for pets - ensuring healthy mouths
Jimmy plays with a ball in an effort to move his canine teeth.
I saw Jimmy, a Collie, recently, with an unusual dental problem: one of his lower canine teeth (the large pointy one at the front of the mouth) was directed inwards, so that it was pressing directly onto his hard palate.
https://www.independent.ie/regionals/sligochampion/lifestyle/orthodontics-for-pets-ensuring-healthy-mouths-37758959.html
https://www.independent.ie/regionals/sligochampion/lifestyle/article37758958.ece/652d2/AUTOCROP/h342/2019-01-29_wex_47576972_I1.JPG
The tooth was meant to point half an inch further to the outside, so that it wouldn't be pressing on anything at all. The malposition meant that every time he closed his mouth, the point of the tooth pressed against the soft fleshy tissue of his hard palate. There was already a dent in his hard palate, and it would soon start to cause pain and discomfort.
Action needed to be taken, but what could be done? If he was a human, he'd visit a dentist with a special interest in orthodontics. But he was a dog. How could I help him?
Orthodontics is the science of correcting dental malocclusions i.e. abnormal alignment of the teeth. The word "orthodontics" is derived from the Greek words for "straight" or "proper" ("orthos") and "teeth" (dontics).
Nearly 30% of humans have malocclusions severe enough to benefit from orthodontic treatment. It might be unusual for people to have teeth pressing directly into the hard palate, like this dog, but plenty of people have teeth that are in the wrong place, and that need to have their position tweaked.
Human treatments are typically braces, applying pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct place.
The field of orthodontics in animals is relatively new, and it's different to human orthodontics. In humans, the cosmetic appearance of our teeth is important: we don't like having crooked or gappy teeth. In pets, appearance is not important apart from, perhaps, in the show ring, and it isn't seen as ethical to carry out orthodontics for this reason.
In animals, the focus is to ensure that every pet has a comfortable and functional bite. If teeth are crooked or misplaced, they can press on the soft tissues of the mouth, causing pain and ulceration, as in the case of my patient Jimmy. In some cases, a physical hole can be created because of the pressure caused by a misplaced tooth. In some cases, this can even create an open passage between the mouth and the nasal cavity, so that when the animal eats, food ends up inside the nose.
As well as obvious physical injuries like this, crooked teeth can cause pain in the jaw joints as well as in the gums, lips, cheeks, and teeth.
Why do these problems happen? Many factors are involved, including genetics, nutrition, and the environment.
Genetic factors account for severe over or under bites, as well as overcrowding of the mouth with too many teeth, which is common in short-muzzled (brachycephalic) breeds. Dog breeders have a responsibility to ensure that the puppies they produce have healthy adult teeth, and this starts by ensuring that only adults with healthy dentition are used for breeding.
The effect of nutrition is easy to sort out: ensure that growing pets are fed a balanced diet. All commercial pet food is legally obliged to be nutritionally balanced, so problems with deficiencies and imbalances that can affect the teeth only happen when people feed imbalanced diets (such as pure meat, or nothing but porridge).
The impact of the environment is more complicated: this includes factors like dogs playing vigorously with rope chews or chewing objects which apply strong, regular pressure to their teeth.
Veterinary orthodontics aim to correct crooked teeth so that pets can live, eat and carry objects in their mouths without pain.
If an owner suspects their pet may have an orthodontic problem, the first stage is to discuss the situation with their local vet: a referral to an orthodontist may or may not be needed.
A range of orthodontic procedures are available for pets, including glue-like acrylic resin which is stuck to the teeth, as well as metal plates, grids and wires. Surgery may be needed to extract teeth and even sometimes to cut and realign the flesh and bone of the jaws.
As you can imagine, these procedures are complex, time-consuming and expensive, but sometimes, there's no choice. For the animal to have a comfortable life, it just needs to be done.
Early use of orthodontics is important. The first year of life is a busy time inside a pet's mouth, with baby ("deciduous") teeth coming in, then falling out, and adult teeth emerging. If orthodontic intervention is needed, youth is the best time to do it. Everything is still growing and moving. Once the animal is a fully grown adult, it's far more difficult to shift the shape and position of the teeth.
My patient Jimmy is just four months old, so there's still time to help him. The initial plan is to use a simple, non-invasive technique known as "ball therapy".
Jimmy will be encouraged to play with a rubber ball that will apply apply gentle (passive) force to the canine teeth, pushing them outwards, and hopefully correcting their position. If this technique does not work, he'll either need more complex (and expensive) techniques, or in the worst case, the offending tooth may need to be extracted completely.
Pets have teeth just like humans, so it's no surprise that they sometimes need dentistry and orthodontics.

Our public Announcements section on our website was written to use the ID (PK) from an SQL database table to point the URL of the an
announcement (from a list inside an sql table), with lots of categories such as jobs, events, garage-sale, etc, etc. I know, you all know
this is pretty standard for amateurs. So, as you well know, this URL method is not only clumsy, can be a security risk, but does not
easily allow for me to format the URL as I want.
The selection of announcements starts at the 'select' page:
www.domain.com/event/select.cfm
So, currently when clicking on one of the links on the select.cfm page (the list generated from a cfquery output)
I get this URL and am taken to the view page to display the actual individual announcement:
http://www.domain.com/event/view.cfm?id=23
select.cfm and view.cfm are both in the same directory inside /event/.
The anchor for the link: href="/event/view.cfm?id=#ViewInfo.ID#" (without the brackets of course).
Everything displays and works fine except for the URL I don't want.
Obviously, the folder /event/ is just off the web root, (the announcements directory) which is the only place this rule should operate.
That 'ID' I've been using in the sql table is announcement number 23 in the JOBS category. All categories and announcements are in just
the one table.
For a more friendly URL, I'd prefer to use the 'category' of each announcement and the current 'date' the announcement was saved, which
seems a pretty normal, right?
Except I'm nearly brand new at programming and really hesitated coming here.
Anyway, before attempting to use URL ReWrite, I first tried to do this:
www.domain.com/event/jobs/23/2015-12-2/view.cfm or some variation. Nothing worked the way I wanted.
It was a mess.
I quickly learned the forward slash required an actual directory on the hard drive between each slash and I could find no way around it. I
added another notch to my html synapse. I didn't want to create tons of folders and sub-folders for no good reason. So, I thought by using
the URL ReWrite I could do something like this:
www.domain.com/event/jobs-2015-12-2_3.html or some crazy variation. A couple days later my brain was hurting far too much.
I had figured this way I'd rid myself of the id= and .cfm file, and add a category which makes more sense and is easier for reference. I
may actually use part of a uniqueidentifier instead of the PK ID but that's not important for this problem.
So I stumbled onto URL REWRITE and installed it.
I opened IIS 8.5 Manager, went to the website I was using, and to the /event/ folder and clicked on URL REWRITE. I then selected Add Rule
and User-Friendly URL. I then entered the URL to one of the announcements:
"/event/view.cfm?id=" at the top of the tab, as the "internal URL".
I also tried hard coding the full URL just for a test: "/event/view.cfm?id="23"  They did not work.
For each test, I entered the second example suggestion on the second line:  /id/184/    just to see if it would work.
But it did not. I checked the 'web.config' file (which I will include here) in the /event/ directory and the code rules had been written
correctly. But there was there was no change to the URL as I expected when I click on the link to view.cfm. It still showed this:
www.domain.com/event/view.cfm?id=23
I tried every combination in URL ReWite I could think of but I cannot get the link to the URL to change at all, to anything, no matter
what I do. I don't get it.
I know that my installed URL ReWrite is working because of another rule I use to forward all discovered .htm files to the .cfm equivalent
when they are found.
I even did a "repair" to the installed URL ReWrite and rebooted but that did not help. Then I uninstalled URL ReWrite and installed again,
rebooted. Still no change. It works, but not with the Friendly-URL rewrite. I'm obviously doing something wrong but am at at a total loss
and might need to hire a real programmers. And that could be the end of my new job.
So, hope someone can steer me in the right direction. If so, I promise to learn and help others as I can.

Whew, that's all the Amagami SS BD episodes done! I was reminded of how awesome the closing scene of Tsukasa's arc was, oh gawd. I was expecting Tsukasa's extra scene to expand on how Tsukasa's Santa belief was shattered but was disappointed to discover otherwise. Oh well, we got two (yes, two) other scenes instead.
Risa, on the other hand, had three extra scenes; the one the episode closes with made me d'awww so hard. Her episode also has the preview for Miya's arc.
Nothing whatsoever was changed for Miya's episode, so the 720p release for it is the same as the standalone one we released earlier.
Episode 23 has a broken frame at around minute 17:59, could you please please fix it.

We at Paddock magazine meet Otmar Szafnauer, who has been with Force India since 2009 and has played an integral role in the team's improved performance since his arrival, with the team going on an upward path, finishing seventh in 2010 and sixth in 2011, 2013 and 2014, before breaking in the top five in 2015 and achieving a team-best finish of fourth in 2016. The Chief Operating Officer's efforts also secured a long-term agreement to use the Mercedes-Benz powertrain from the 2014 season onwards. Let's ask him a few relevant questions.
Otmar, apart from "being the champions of pounds spent in Formula 1", what other traits make your team efficient as an organisation?
The key to achieving success is planning intelligently and trying to be as efficient as we can. We know we cannot commit the resources of some of the other teams, so it's a matter of using what we have in an effective way. It's a philosophy that applies in every aspect of what we do: every time we look at an update, we ask ourselves "how it is going to improve our car? Can we justify the effort we are going to put in to its development?" It's about spending money intelligently and always having performance in mind. As a team, we are made up of racers who share the racer's mentality. That's certainly one of our strengths.
You were fifth in 2015, fourth in 2016 and you're fourth again right now. How close is Force India to the top three teams?
Our objective is always to move forward. We were sixth and we aimed for fifth, then for fourth, even when most people thought it was impossible. So now we're aiming for third, but recognise the teams ahead of us have considerably more resources available. In order to beat them, we have to do everything right and they have to make a mistake – it's about being there ready to make the most of those opportunities.
It's about spending money intelligently and always having performance in mind.
The decision to go pink this year was positively received by fans. Are you enjoying racing in your new colours?
The partnership with BWT brought this colour change and we're very pleased about the public's reaction. Being pink makes our cars stand out and we're immediately recognisable, so there are positives for everyone. There was a real buzz when we launched the colour with photos of the car appearing all around the world in newspapers that would not normally cover the sport. This shows the power of pink and the brilliant marketing strategy of BWT. They are a market leader in Water technology, which is a great fit with our team and Formula 1.
Were you happy with the 2017 calendar? If not, where would you like Formula 1 to go next?
This is not something we are directly involved with and we will race wherever the calendar takes us. I think the balance achieved now, with 20/21 races in the calendar, is sustainable and we applaud the efforts Liberty Media are making to engage the race promoters. As for new races, there are so many great locations around the world that would love to have a Formula 1 race. I would like to see more races in the US because it's such an important market for global brands and there is huge potential for the sport to grow even further.
Working inside the sport, what positive changes can you already see following Liberty Media's takeover?
It's still relatively early days and it would be unfair to draw any finite conclusions at this stage, but we certainly appreciate the openness that Liberty Media have shown. They seem to genuinely take on board the feedback from teams, promoters and fans, and have a lot of ideas to develop the sport in the future.


A wifi antenna reflector? There are some excellent factors to try as well as boost the function of your wifi system, or to increase the signal from your cordless router in a specific direction. This short article gives constructional details for an antenna reflector that we built, utilizing tips and advice from somewhere else on the internet. It regretfully did not accomplish enough of a boost to achieve the goal of long-distance 200 backyards function; however it did enhance reception, and would be great for less-ambitious goals. With wifi, you generally have 1 or 2 little antennas developed into your cordless router, as well as an antenna on your COMPUTER constructed right into the laptop computer, or in a USB dongle. Typically this is all you require, however sometimes you need something a little bit much better.
For instance, at home, if your research study is some distance from the router, you can obtain a bad signal, or far from residence, in a resort, you might find similar issues. To solve it, you can improve the antenna on your PC, or if in your home, you can likewise boost the antenna on your router. The idea is to make an antenna directional, so that it is more powerful in a desired direction, and weak in instructions that do not matter. With a laptop computer PC, you antenna is generally built into the panel holding the screen, as well as there is no other way to boost it. So you will certainly require to purchase a USB super boost wifi reviews dongle with an outside antenna link. By placing the dongle on a USB cable you may boost reception, and also by installing a larger antenna, you may enhance reception. In either case this might be enough to fix your problem, without worrying about directional elements.
Nevertheless, as soon as you have an exterior antenna, either on the COMPUTER or the router, you can give it directional properties with an ideal reflector, which we did as described below. An additional technique is to make your very own directional antenna from the ground up, something referred to as a 'cantina'. Generally this is a metal can, functioning as an overview to the radio waves, with a pole inside as the antenna. On the internet, there is much conversation of the optimum dimension for a cantina, with several fans of utilizing a Pringles foil-lined container. The history to this job was remaining at a hotel without any wifi, yet understanding that about 200 backyards away there was a dining establishment with wifi for which I could obtain the accessibility code by having a coffee there!. So the obstacle was to enhance my laptop's function, offered an exceptionally weak signal from the restaurant.

Wikipedia has a Google Translate problem
21/08/2019 /in Latest Posts /by Elio Esposito
Smaller editions badly need a machine translation tool — but it isn't good enough to use on its own
Wikipedia was founded with the aim of making knowledge freely available around the world — but right now, it's mostly making it available in English. The English Wikipedia is the largest edition by far, with 5.5 million articles, and only 15 of the 301 editions have more than a million. The quality of those articles can vary drastically, with vital content often entirely missing. Two hundred and six editions are missing an article on the emotional state of happiness and just under half are missing an article on Homo sapiens.
It seems like the perfect problem for machine translation tools, and in January, Google partnered with the Wikimedia Foundation to solve it, incorporating Google Translate into the Foundation's own content translation tool, which uses open-source translation software. But for the editors that work on non-English Wikipedia editions, the content translation tool has been more of a curse than a blessing, renewing debate over whether Wikipedia should be in the business of machine translation at all.
"PEOPLE TAKE GOOGLE TRANSLATE TO BE FLAWLESS… OBVIOUSLY IT ISN'T."
Available as a beta feature, the content translation tool lets editors generate a preview of a new article based on an automated translation from another edition. Used correctly, the tool can save valuable time for editors building out understaffed editions — but when it goes wrong, the results can be disastrous. One global administrator pointed to a particularly atrocious translation from English to Portuguese. What is "village pump" in the English version became "bomb the village" when put through machine translation into Portuguese.
"People take Google Translate to be flawless," said the administrator, who asked to be referred to by their Wikipedia username, Vermont. "Obviously it isn't. It isn't meant to be a replacement for knowing the language."
Those shoddy machine translations have become such a problem that some editions have created special admin rules just to stamp them out. The English Wikipedia community elected to have a temporary "speedy deletion" criteria solely to allow administrators to delete "any page created by the content translation tool prior to 27 July 2016," so long as no version exists in the page history which is not machine-translated. The name of this "exceptional circumstances" speedy deletion criterion is "X2. Pages created by the content translation tool."
"A COMMUNITY-WIDE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE MACHINE LEARNING SHOULD BE DISCUSSED"
The Wikimedia Foundation, which administers Wikipedia, defended the tool when reached for comment, emphasizing that it is just one tool among many. "The content translation tool provides critical support to our editors," a representative said, "and its impact extends even beyond Wikipedia in addressing the broader, internet-wide challenge of the lack of local language content online."
That may be surprising if you've seen headlines in recent years about AI reaching "parity" with human translators. But those stories usually refer to narrow, specialized tests of machine translation's abilities, and when the software is actually deployed in the wild, the limitations of artificial intelligence become clear. As Douglas Hofstadter, professor of cognition at Indiana University Bloomington, spelled out in an influential article on the topic, AI translation is shallow. It produces text that has surface-level fluency, but which usually misses the deeper meaning of words and sentences. AI systems learn how to translate by studying statistical patterns in large bodies of training data, but that means they're blind to the nuances of language that are used more infrequently, and lack the common sense of human translators.
The result for Wikipedia editors is a major skills gap. Their machine translation usually requires close supervision by those translating, who themselves must have a good understanding of both languages they are translating. It's a real problem for smaller Wikipedia editions that are already strapped for volunteers.
Guilherme Morandini, an administrator on the Portuguese Wikipedia, often sees users open articles in the content translation tool and immediately publish to another language edition without any review. In his experience, the result is shoddy translation or outright nonsense, a disaster for the edition's credibility as a source of information. Reached by The Verge, Morandini pointed to this article about Jusuf Nurkić as an example, machine translated into Portuguese from its English equivalent. The first line, "… é um Bósnio profissional que atualmente joga …" translates directly to "… is a professional Bosnian that currently plays …," as opposed to the English version "… is a Bosnian professional basketball player."
"MACHINE TRANSLATION WILL NEVER BE A VIABLE WAY TO MAKE ARTICLES ON WIKIPEDIA"
The Indonesian Wikipedia community has gone so far as to formally request that the Wikimedia Foundation remove the tool from the edition. The Wikimedia Foundation appears to be reluctant to do so based on the thread, and has overruled community consensus in the past. Privately, concerns were expressed to The Verge that there are fears this could turn into a replay of the 2014 Media Viewer fight, which caused significant distrust between the Foundation and the community-led editions it oversees.
Wikimedia described that response in more positive terms. "In response to community feedback, we made adjustments and received positive feedback that the adjustments we made were were effective," a representative said.
João Alexandre Peschanski, a professor of journalism at Faculdade Cásper Líbero in Brazil who teaches a course on Wikiversity, is another critic of the current machine translation system. Peschanski says "a community-wide strategy to improve machine learning should be discussed, as we might be losing efficiency by what I would say is a rather arduous translation endeavor." Translation tools "are key," and in Peschanski's experience they work "fairly well." The main problems being faced, he says, are a result of inconsistent templates used in articles. Ideally, those templates contain repetitive material which may be needed across many articles or pages, often between various language editions, making language easier to parse automatically.
Peschanski views translation as an activity of reuse and adaptation, where reuse between language editions depends on whether content is present on another site. But adaptation means bringing a "different cultural, language-specific background" into the translation before continuing. A broader possible solution would be to enact some sort of project-wide policy banning machine translations without human supervision.
Most of the users that The Verge interviewed for this article preferred to combine manual translation with machine translation, using the latter only to look up specific words. All interviewed agreed with Vermont's statement that "machine translation will never be a viable way to make articles on Wikipedia, simply because it cannot understand complex human phrases that don't translate between languages," but most agree that it does have its uses.
Faced with those obstacles, smaller projects may always have a lower standard of quality when compared to the English Wikipedia. Quality is relative, and unfinished or poorly written articles are impossible to stamp out completely. But that disparity comes with a real cost. "Here in Brazil," Morandini says, "Wikipedia is still regarded as non-trustworthy," a reputation that isn't helped by shoddily done translations of English articles. Both Vermont and Morandini agree that, in the case of pure machine translation, the articles in question are better off deleted. In too many cases, they're simply "too terrible to keep."

Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone's had a great week. If not, don't worry because the weekend is here! Today's outfit is from a couple weeks ago, right before heading out to the beach with my sister and a friend. It wasn't a very hot day, so I did end up spending most of the time in these clothes. I did change my boots for flip flops though! My favorite item in this outfit is definitely the crochet cardigan. A few months ago my mom was cleaning out her closet and getting rid of a bunch of her clothes and I spotted this cardigan. I was so excited! I guess she'd had it for quite a while because I had never seen it before and not even she remembered where it was from. All I know is that it's mine now and I'm loving it! Also, I did film a bit of this day so I'm going to mash that up with some footage I have from other days around the same time and post a video soon. So keep an eye out for that sometime next week!
Feliz Sexta-feira pra todo mundo! Espero que tenham tido uma ótima semana. Se não tiveram, não se preocupem porque o final de semana chegou! O look de hoje é de algumas semanas atrás, bem antes de ir pra praia com minha irmã e uma amiga. Não era um dia muito quente, então acabei ficando com essa roupa mesmo a maior parte do tempo mas troquei a bota por um chinelo. A minha peça favorita nesse look é com certeza o cardigan de crochê. Há alguns meses atrás, minha mãe estava separando roupas que não queria mais e eu vi esse cardigan no meio. Eu fiquei muito feliz! Acho que ele é bem antigo porque eu nunca vi ela usando e nem ela lembra de onde é. Só sei que agora ele é meu e eu estou amando! Também queria falar que eu tenho umas filmagens desse dia aí, então vou juntar com umas filmagens que eu tenho da mesma semana e postar um vídeo. Então fiquem de olho aqui no blog semana que vem!
Love that cardigan and necklace!
I know, right? I'm so glad I spotted it before it was too late!
Such a cute and elegnat cardign ! Loved these round sunnies too !

Aberdonians can expect to enjoy some pleasantly warm weather this weekend. Well, compared to the past week anyway.
Saturday is expected to have a high temperature in the mid 20s while Sunday's high might reach the lower 30s, which is a major relief to anyone tired of deal with single digit and sub-zero temperatures, said Taylor Trogdon, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Aberdeen.
"This is going to feel pretty warm compared to what we have seen," he said.
The weather is expected remain dry with virtually no chance of precipitation, Trogdon said.
Low wind speeds are projected, he said. Winds between 10 and 15 mph are expected Saturday while Sunday shows 5 to 10 mph., Trogdon said.
Cold weather brings question: Where's the heat?
