Scientists has presented the first whole genome sequence and analyses of Red Bat (Myotis rufoniger).
It is one of the most well-known and iconic protected wild animals in South Korea ans also known as the golden bat.
Myotis rufoniger is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is a rare bat species that face imminent threat of disappearance from the face of Earth.
Being designated as a Korean natural monument No. 452, only 450 to 500 of these bats survive in the wild in South Korea, presently.
The reseach team expects that this study will provide a genetic foundation for the restoration and conservation of the critically endangered M. rufoniger.
A genome contains all of the genetic information of a given organism, including its evolutionary origins.
The primary reason for the rapid decline in the population of bats is due to very recent human encroachment into and destruction of wildlife.


Australia hasn't done enough to stop UNESCO listing the Great Barrier Reef as 'in danger', a new report by conservationists says.
The World Heritage Committee will meet in Cambodia this week to consider a draft decision to place the reef on its 'danger list' in 2014 unless the Queensland and federal governments clean up their act.
Requests include that no more developments are approved along the Queensland coast that would impact individually or cumulatively on the reef.
Other major concerns include escalating ship traffic through the reef and poor water quality resulting from coastal development.
The WWF and the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCA) have released a scorecard, which shows there has been no improvement in managing the impacts of ports and port development along the Great Barrier Reef coast.
They have 'major concern' that the Australian and federal governments haven't developed a policy to contain port development to existing sites, and a number of proposals are progressing through the federal government's environmental assessment processes.
The governments have also failed to set conservation targets and increase funding enough to stop pollution from catchments. A long-term strategy for sustainability is also overdue.
The WWF's Great Barrier Reef campaign director Richard Leck says Australia could become the only developed country unable to meet its World Heritage obligations.
'Australian governments now have a firm deadline for action to avoid the global icon being placed on an international list of shame,' he said.
WWF and the AMSA want tens of thousands of people around the world to create a 24-hour 'Twitter Storm' on Monday to show global support to protect the reef.
Comment is being sought from Queensland's State Development Minister Jeff Seeney and the Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke.

Presto is working with restaurants to update the 21st century dine-in experience, letting customers order and pay from their table with a tablet device while also providing hardware like wearables for servers so they can be alerted when they are needed by customers.
Considering how much online shopping has shaped commerce and apps like Instacart and Uber Eats are changing how we get food delivered to our houses, it's a bit peculiar that physical restaurants with hundreds of locations have been so slow to shift the customer experience toward a greater reliance on tech.
Presto has launched partnerships with a number of restaurant chains like Applebee's, Red Lobster, Denny's and Outback Steakhouse. These aren't exactly mom-and pop locations, but Presto CEO Raj Suri says these large restaurant groups are always looking to shift their weight to improve efficiencies across the board with new tech in a way that most small businesses just aren't.
Beyond the ordering hardware, Presto's new AI platform is aiming to give restaurants a more robust look at the state of each individual business and insights that help managers make decisions about staffing or deciding which food items to stock. The platform leverages a variety of data inputs so that things like nearby sporting events or weather patterns can be integrated into suggestions about how many servers should be staffed on a given Tuesday.

ichnography 1 A ground plan. 2 The art or process of drawing ground plans. From the Greek for track and drawing.
icon-monger A pejorative term for an architect who designs buildings intended to become icons, whether or not that is appropriate.
iconic adj. Representing something particularly significant and distinctive. Examples: 'Views can be enhanced by buildings [such as] the first iconic glistening building at Canary Wharf before it was compromised by its recent lumpy brothers'; 'Most people outside Liverpool are familiar with a number of its iconic structures: the buildings of the Pier Head, the Albert Dock, St George's Hall or the two cathedrals. There is no general agreement on what constitutes an iconic building. In the words of one writer (Pardey, 2001): 'It only takes one iconic building to make a great city, as Sydney proved in the 1960s, so London should be thankful that it has three in the Tower, St Paul's and the Houses of Parliament. Our age does not yet promise a fourth.' Most people, though, would judge that in London the Lloyd's Building and 1 Canada Square at Canary Wharf (in addition to a fourth classic, Tower Bridge) make the grade. In the wake of the destruction by terrorists of the world trade center, a London developer was quoted (in Garlick and Loney, 2001) as arguing that his company's proposed skyscrapers (designed by Lord Foster for a site at Elephant and Castle) were not likely to be a target for terrorists as they were not 'iconic' buildings. In 2003 the architect Peter Cook became probably the first person to define himself as iconic. 'I regard myself as a collaborator,' he told the Architects' Journal (2003), 'even though I'm identified as an iconic creature.' See also statue.
iconophobia Fear of iconic buildings, or of the fashion for building them. Example: 'Among architects at least, we might be on the verge of a new iconophobia' (2004). See also landmarkitis.

in-and-out-town One that is insufficiently attractive for most visitors to spend any longer there than is necessary.
inclusive visioning The term was included in a list of missing skills by the UK Department of Communities and Local Government. The House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee wrote in 2008 that the phrase 'appears to mean working out what an area needs'.
indirect potable reuse (US) Reusing waste water after treating it, injecting it into the ground and drawing it from wells. This is a more publicly acceptable way of recycling waste water than just purifying it and recycling it as drinking water directly, which critics of such schemes call 'toilet-to-tap'. Example: 'Say "indirect potable reuse" if you want people to accept the idea that their kids will be making lemonade with water that was flushed down the toilet or used to mop the porch.'
insula (Latin) A city block.
insula (Latin) 1 A residential building of four or more storeys, divided into apartments intended for rent. By the fourth century the term may have been applied to single apartments (Lan�on, 2000). 2 A street block. 3 An island.

In 8-1 Blue Jay win, Ryan Goins defies logic
Goins hit the second grand slam of his career and this season in the sixth inning to make it a blowout win for the Blue Jays.
By Mark Colley@MarkColley Sep 22, 2017, 9:51pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: In 8-1 Blue Jay win, Ryan Goins defies logic
Ryan Goins is congratulated by third base coach Luis Rivera after hitting a grand slam home run in the sixth inning during a game against the New York Yankees on September 22, 2017.
Screw the sample size — Ryan Goins is a clutch hitter.
With a grand slam in the sixth inning on Friday night to give the Toronto Blue Jays an 8-1 victory over the New York Yankees, Goins continued his unbelievable stretch as a seemingly situational hitter with runners in scoring position in 2017.
He has a .365 on-base percentage in high-leverage situations, as defined by Baseball Reference, compared to a .247 OBP in low-leverage situations — a difference of more than one-tenth of a full point.
Still, Goins is just short of 100 plate appearances in those high-leverage instances, while having collected 174 in low-leverage instances. It's a small sample size that's weighted towards better performance based on how a pitcher tends to be playing at any given time, but boy — has it ever been fun to watch him.
Goins didn't simply contribute offensively. In the field, he pulled off a slick hidden-ball trick to catch Todd Frazier off of second base.
Baseball is fun.
When Goins hit his grand slam, the score was already 4-1 in Toronto's favour. Earlier, a pair of home runs from Teoscar Hernandez and Russell Martin showed how varied the long ball can be, with poorly-weighted results.
Hernandez reached the Level of Excellence in left field with his home run ball. Martin's barely cleared the right field wall.
Jose Bautista, in perhaps his third-to-last home game at the Rogers Centre, scored the first run of the game with a ground ball to combat a Yankees' run in the top of the first. Immeasurable were his strong plays in right field, reminiscent of better defensive days.
But even with the impending closure of Bautista's authentic career, Goins was in the spotlight on Friday night — perhaps appropriately so — to bring the Blue Jays the win.
And Goins wasn't just good at timing his hits to correspond with having runners in scoring position — his mother and father were at Friday's game.


What are the best linux permissions to use for my website?
I have allot of users which install joomla, wordpress, drupal and other CMS things on their websites ( linux server). Usually they get problem with write permissions when they want to install additional modules or plugins. What they do in this case is to automatically set 777 on their directories and they leave it like that. Of course that causes problems to me from security perspective.
Don't know how to formulate this questions correctly but hopefully someone will understand. what would be the best default permissions to give to users so they would not get such errors and then change everything to 777? Is there any option, when CMS's are in question, which would prevent problems with write permissions and by that users wouldn't need to put everything to 777.

India exports more gems and jewellery, imports less gold
Export of gems and jewellery rose 24 percent in May, while gold imports fell for the fourth straight month.
By : S V Krishnamachari

India is exporting more gems and jewellery to the world, even as its imports of gold — a key input for jewellery — have declined over the past four months.
In May, gems and jewellery exports rose 24 percent to worth $3.71 billion as against $2.98 billion in May last year. The previous month saw exports rise 17.23 percent to $3.45 billion when compared with $2.94 billion in April 2015.
On the contrary, gold imports by India fell for the fourth straight month in May to $1.47 billion as against $2.42 billion in the corresponding month last year, a contraction of 39 percent. However, it was up from April when the world's second-largest consumer of the yellow metal imported gold worth $1.24 billion.
Meanwhile, total exports from India declined for the 18th consecutive month in May, a reflection of persisting weakness in the global economy.
Exports stood at $22.17 billion in May, a marginal fall of 0.79 percent from $22.34 billion in May last year. Imports shrank 13.16 percent to $28.44 billion, year-on-year, leaving a deficit of $6.27 billion, a three-month high.
Export of engineering goods rose 2.2 percent to $5.75 billion. Petroleum product shipment declined 15.5 percent to $2 billion last month, indicating the continuing weakness in commodity prices globally.

Colorado residents and non-residents may attend Pickens Technical College. Resident classification impacts tuition rate. Students will be classified as an in-state or out-of-state student according to the information on the application for admission. Residency requirements are determined by the Colorado Tuition Classification Law (sections 23-7-101 to 105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes).
A. Paying Colorado income taxes.
B. Being permanently employed in Colorado.
C. Owning residential Colorado real estate.
D. Holding a Colorado driver's license or vehicle registration.
Any student who has been classified as an "out-of-state resident," and who believes he/she can qualify as a resident may secure a petition for change of residency status from the Registration Office. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that petitions and all supportive documentation are on file in the Registration Office no later than ten (10) class days after the first day of classes of the semester they wish to receive/change their residency status. The Registration Office cannot assume responsibility for mailed petitions that arrive after the deadline; petitions will not be accepted after the end of the second week of the term.
Immigrant and non-immigrant aliens must show their Resident Alien card or visa to determine residency for tuition purposes.
In cases where the student does not agree with the decision of the tuition classification officer, he/she may request that administration appoint an appeal committee. This appeal committee will review the residency petition and supporting documentation to make a final determination of residency.
Active duty military personnel and their dependents upon moving to Colorado on a permanent-change-of-station (PCS) basis are eligible for resident tuition rates. Before registering at Pickens Technical College, they should contact the nearest Military Education Office in order to complete and have the tuition classification certification form approved by the Education Officer. The form is to be presented at the Registration Office at the time they register for a class.
To schedule your TABE or TEAS V exam, please call the Registration Office at (303) 344-4910 x 27797.
Deferred payment is available at the time of registration for tuition in excess of $300. All fees and 50 percent of tuition costs must be paid on the day of registration. The remaining balance is due in two or three installments. A $10 non-refundable processing fee is to cover the cost of handling the deferred payment. An additional $10 non-refundable charge is assessed for each late payment. If a student has incurred a late fee, the student will not be eligible for another deferred payment for the remainder of the school year.
Financial aid at Pickens Technical College is designed to help students who would be unable to attend without assistance. The primary responsibility for meeting the costs of education rests with the individual student. Financial aid funds are available to supplement whatever funds a student can provide.

Day 52 (July 19th). Downtown Winnipeg. The Peasant Cookery restaurant and Chimney Swift roost.
Andy 2022-2023, Day 52 (July 19th). Downtown Winnipeg. The Peasant Cookery restaurant and Chimney Swift roost. July 31, 2022 August 1, 2022 1 Minute
There is only 1 Swift species in eastern North America, the Chimney Swift. This is closely related to our Swift in the UK and the two species share many characteristics. The obvious difference between the birds is that Chimney Swifts evolved to breed within the tree trunks of massive trees of which there were many across the continent. When man started "remodelling" the landscape the large trees were felled and the Swifts learnt to use chimneys in factories and private homes. These are now disappearing as heating systems change and factories close and Chimney Swift numbers have declined fast with a reduction of 90% in breeding numbers since 1970 and an estimated population in Canada of 20,000 to 70,000 birds. As in the UK there are people obsessed with watching, counting and conserving this fantastic species. In the hope we could see these birds we'd been in touch with a lady called Amanda who works for the Manitoba Chimney Swift Initiative, run by Nature Manitoba which is based in Winnipeg. She sent the address of a large Swift roost and also a 12 page spreadsheet listing nest sites locations across the province.
On the 19th we had invited Louise, Gary, his two sisters Dawn & Bev and Bev's husband Pat, himself born in England, to the Peasant Cookery restaurant to thank them for their incredible hospitality. Unbeknown to us Tali had been in touch with Louise and had put a sum behind the bar as a birthday present for Helen & myself.
Clockwise from left: Louise, Helen, Pat, Bev, Dawn, Gary & Andy
We had a fabulous meal and then Gary took us to the Swift roost site across town, arriving as a few small groups of birds were flying past the large chimney of an apartment block. At the car park we met a lady who'd been captivated by the Swifts throughout the season and she sent the video below, taken earlier in the season when numbers were higher. A more professional video (but not filmed in Winnipeg) can be found here. A fabulous end to a lovely day.

The possibility of an association of mRNA with the cytoskeletal framework (CF) of ascidian (Styela plicata) follicle cells was examined in this study. The approach was to extract the follicle cells with Triton X-100 and determine whether mRNA persisted in the insoluble residue by two methods, in situ hybridization with poly(U) and actin DNA probes and the incorporation of radioactive isotopes into RNA. Triton X-100 extraction of follicle cells yielded a filamentous CF containing approximately 70% of the total poly (A) but only 9% of the total lipid, 23% of the total protein, and 28% of the total RNA. In situ hybridization with a poly (U) probe indicated that approximately 70% of the poly (A) was associated with the CF. In situ hybridization with a cloned actin DNA probe indicated that approximately 60% of the actin mRNA was associated with the CF. Autoradiography of detergent-extracted follicle cells, which had been labeled with [3H]uridine or [3H]adenosine, indicated that greater than 90% of the newly synthesized poly (A)+RNA was preserved in the CF. Thus more newly synthesized mRNA than steady-state mRNA may be present in the Triton X-100 insoluble fraction. It is concluded that a significant proportion of the mRNA complement of ascidian follicle cells is associated with the CF.

Bolton a no-show at impeachment panel; Pence aide appears
November 7th, 2019 | by Associated Press
Jennifer Williams, a special adviser to Vice President Mike Pence for Europe and Russia who is a career Foreign Service officer, arrives for a closed-door interview in the impeachment inquiry on President Donald Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former national security adviser John Bolton failed to appear for an interview with impeachment investigators Thursday, making it unlikely that he will provide testimony to the House about President Donald Trump's handling of Ukraine.
Democrats indicated they have no interest in a drawn-out court fight over Bolton's testimony or that of any others as they move into a more public phase of their impeachment inquiry. They say they will simply use the no-shows as evidence of the president's obstruction of Congress.
An attorney for Bolton, Charles Cooper, said his client had not received a subpoena. Cooper had said Bolton wouldn't appear without one.
An aide to Vice President Mike Pence did appear under subpoena Thursday to speak with impeachment investigators and was deposed for more than four hours.
Jennifer Williams, a career foreign service officer detailed to Pence's office from the State Department, is one of several White House aides who were listening in on a July phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in which Trump asked the new leader to investigate Democrats, according to an administration official who requested anonymity to discuss the conversation.
That call, in which Trump asked Zelenskiy to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his family and also Ukraine's role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, is at the center of the Democrats' impeachment probe.
Though Trump has said there was no "quid pro quo," several of the witnesses, including top Ukraine diplomat William Taylor, have testified that it was their understanding that Ukraine would not receive military assistance or a coveted Oval Office visit until it met the president's demands.
Democrats say the refusal of witnesses like Bolton, Mulvaney and Perry to appear — under Trump's orders — will add fuel to their case that the president has obstructed justice. They say obstruction is likely to be an article of impeachment against Trump, when and if they are written.
Lawmakers leaving the deposition said that Williams' testimony had lined up with the accounts of others.
"It just never ceases to amaze me how all of these people in every material aspect corroborate one another," said Washington Rep. Denny Heck, a member of the House intelligence panel, as he left the interview.
Republican Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina said that lawmakers were finding out more details about Pence's September visit to Warsaw, Poland, where he met Zelinskiy. Pence has said that he and the Ukrainian president did not discuss Biden during their closed-door meeting, but they had discussed the White House's decision to halt security aid to the nation meant to counter Russian aggression.
Speaking to reporters in New Hampshire, Pence stood by Trump and said if Americans read the administration's rough transcript of the call they will find "there was no quid pro quo, the president did nothing wrong." Pence called the impeachment inquiry a "disgrace."
Investigators are wrapping up the private interviews as they prepare to start public hearings next week. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced Wednesday that three State Department witnesses will appear in two hearings next Wednesday and Friday: Taylor, career department official George Kent and Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. Yovanovitch was ousted in May on Trump's orders and Taylor replaced her; both have testified about their concerns with the administration's policy on Ukraine.
Democrats scheduled 13 witnesses to testify behind closed doors this week as they have wrapped up the private phase of the probe, but so far only Williams and another State Department employee, David Hale, have shown up. Trump has directed his employees not to cooperate with the investigation.
In addition to Bolton, Democrats had requested interviews from two other high-level Trump administration witnesses, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and Energy Secretary Rick Perry. Perry did not show up for his Wednesday interview and Mulvaney was not expected to appear for his scheduled deposition on Friday.
Still, Democrats have indicated they think they already have ample testimony about Trump's conduct on Ukraine. The slew of current and former officials from the State Department and White House have appeared and largely corroborated the same narrative — that Trump had delegated his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to guide U.S.-Ukraine policy and that the two men were focused on pressuring Ukraine as the administration withheld military aid from the country.
Heck said there is "already a mountain of evidence" in the probe.
"I think there's more evidence to the effect that the president shook down Ukraine, tried to cover it up, and threatened to and then withheld security assistance to Ukraine than there is evidence that the sun will come up in the East tomorrow," Heck said.
Williams is the first person directly connected with Pence to testify in the probe.

How Power Felt Works
Will our bodies ever be a practical source of electricity?
What if these felt slippers were made with power felt? Could they charge your iPhone?
Daniel Allan/Photographer's Choice/Getty Images
While it would be cool to power an iPad with your body heat, we probably don't have to worry about being enslaved to power a giant computer network like in the "Matrix" movies. Humans are a potential source of electricity, but a fairly limited one. An adult male, for example, theoretically might be able to generate 100 to 120 watts of energy. That's not going to light up the Empire State Building, but it might be enough to power some personal electronics devices -- a laptop requires about 45 watts, and a cell phone only needs about 1 watt to operate [source: Ozcanli].
That said, researchers still have a ways to go before we're able to leverage a significant portion of our bodies' potential to generate electricity. While the idea of power felt has promise, the initial demonstration version only has the ability to generate about 140 nanowatts of juice [source: Zhang]. The villainous Agent Smith from the "Matrix" movies would be disappointed, since that's only about a billionth of a watt. Other available conductive materials for converting body heat to energy don't do much better. By one estimate, such devices are able to harvest about 0.4 percent of the body's heat energy and convert it to electricity. That means that if you covered your entire body with thermoelectric generators, you'd only produce 0.5 watts of electricity [source: Ozcanli].
Still, though, we'll probably improve on that performance over time, and also simultaneously develop electronic devices that are far more efficient at using energy than the gadgets of today. Researchers already are working, for example, to develop super energy-efficient medical sensors that could run off a patient's body heat. But the real upside of power felt may come from using it to capture heat energy wasted by our machines. Recent research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, indicates that by tapping into wasted heat from laptops and cell phones, we might be able to do the equivalent of doubling their battery life. Lining automobile engines and the inside walls and pipes of power plants with power felt might yield a vast supply of electricity that we never even knew we had [source: Chandler].

Roland Michener Secondary School
Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well
District School Board Ontario North East is proud to host Dr. Greg Wells on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Timmins High and Vocational School. Schools in the North and South regions will be able to attend the talk via a YouTube livestream.
"We invite students, families and staff to come hear Dr. Wells' presentation on the topic of: Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well, based on his best-selling book The Ripple Effect", says Bob Brush, Chair of the Board.
"We are so excited to welcome Dr. Wells", says Lesleigh Dye, Director of Education. "He is an inspiring speaker and shares simple and easy to implement tactics to improve all aspects of health. This topic is in line with our vision of empowering all learners to achieve personal excellence, " Dye adds.
Dr. Greg Wells was a 15-year-old competitive swimmer when his neck was broken by strong ocean waves. After neurosurgery, he was told by doctors that he would never compete again. That set him on a lifetime journey to learn how the human body responds to extreme conditions.
Dr. Wells is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto where he studies elite sports performance. He also serves as a Senior Scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children where he leads the Exercise Medicine Research Program.
As an athlete, Dr. Wells has competed in events such as the Nanisivik Marathon, a marathon that takes place 600-miles north of the Arctic Circle, Ironman Canada, and the Tour D'Afrique, a grueling 11,000-kilometre event that is the longest bike race in the world.

4 things you probably don't know about Lionel Richie
From China to Iraq to South Africa, we dig up four things you probably don't know about Lionel Richie.
NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 24: Musician Lionel Richie performs at the Barclays Center on September 24, 2013 in New York City. Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images/AFP
Alex Ritman
If you already knew these four fascinating facts about Lionel Richie ahead of his Dubai show on Thursday, we're very, very impressed.
You know the lyrics, the hair, the music videos, the hair, the reality star daughter and the hair. But how much do you really know about the man behind all this? Lionel Richie has been strutting his stuff since the late sixties and has, unsurprisingly, accumulated an impressive array of killer anecdotes along the way. We'd be happy to lay claim to just one these four.
He's invented languages
"Tam bo li say de moi ya, hey jambo jambo!" sings Richie towards the end of his 1983 smash All Night Long. We all know how it goes (or, perhaps, just the 'hey jambo jambo' bit, sung with extra enthusiasm to make up for missing the previous lyrics, right?). But do you know what it means? With Richie being a deeply spiritual kind of guy, you're probably thinking that it's Swahili for 'be true to yourself', or maybe Berber for 'there is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure'. It isn't. It's gibberish. Apparently Lionel was on the look out for some African phrases, but faced with 101 dialects and running out of time he did what any normal person would do and just made one up. What a totally bish vel ipo tombi nol sem guy.
He's styled statesmen
Among his many, many accolades, Nelson Mandela may go down as one of the most stylish politicians that ever lived, with a dazzling array of kaleidoscopically-coloured shirts and enough international brownie points to wear them as and when he pleased. But who do we have to thank for Madiba's fashion sense? You're never going to guess: it's Lionel! Shortly after being released from prison in 1990, Mandela made his way to the US for a series of public appearances and the special task of updating his rather dated wardrobe was handed to Richie (someone must have seen his sweater in the 'Hello' video). "Man, I decked him out. That man was looking good," Richie told CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos, adding that Mandela had personally thanked him for writing music that helped him through "many days of being in prison". Reports that Mandela spent much of his 30 years in prison attempting to perfect a Richie-style moustache and 'fro combo remain unconfirmed.
He's part of the curriculum
If you're going to China, it might be worth getting up to speed on your Lionel Richie lyrics. When he performed Endless Love on the final of Chinese Idol last year, the singer admitted he was hugely impressed by the audience's command of English. "They told me they teach English in schools with my songs," he revealed to the New York Post. "It's part of the curriculum. Hello, Say You, Say Me and All Night Long."
He's big in Iraq
Fingers on buzzers everyone. When US tanks rolled into Iraq in 2003, what did Iraqi civilians play on the streets? Was it a) Bob Dylan's The Times They Are a-Changin', b) The theme to Team America: World Police, or c) Lionel Richie's All Night Long? That's right, it was Lionel, according to a report by ABC's John Berman, who added that grown men get "misty-eyed" at the mere mention of his name and can sing an entire Richie song without understanding a word of English. At a literary festival in Erbil, authors reportedly read out poetry to interpretations of Richie songs. But just why is Lionel such an icon in Iraq? "I don't have the slightest idea," the hitmaker revealed.

20/20 HONOREES – Dawn Lepore
By Lauren Gibbons Paul
CIO	 Oct 1, 2002 8:00 am PDT
Vice Chairman of Technology, Operations and Administration
The Charles Schwab Corp.
Dawn Lepore's savvy has not gone unnoticed in the Charles Schwab executive circle. Last December, co-CEOs Charles Schwab and David Pottruck expanded Lepore's role, adding operations and administration to her already considerable responsibilities. As vice chairman, Lepore took on the added duties with her trademark gusto, despite equally momentous responsibilities at home. Lepore has a 6-month-old baby girl as well as a 4-year-old son. It's enough to make anyone's head spin, but if anyone can do it all, Dawn Lepore can.
After 19 years at Schwab, she has an innate understanding of the company's mission, which she helped develop, and the direction of the industry. "I think Schwab has several times over helped shape the financial services industry," says Lepore, 48, from her office in San Francisco. "It's very exciting. That's the reason I come to work every day."
Lepore has been there through it all?through Schwab's industry-first introduction of a no-load mutual fund, its debut of a comprehensive customer extranet and its development of expanded advice options for investors. "I do feel very proud of the role I've played in all of this," she says.
She attributes her success to a willingness to take risks. When colleagues at other companies questioned the Schwab decision to invest heavily in Web training in 1995, Lepore was surprised at their reaction. "I always felt the Internet was here to stay. I was willing to take a calculated risk, as long as it would help our clients," she says.
Lepore admits she's good at seeing the big picture. "But I don't wake up and say, I'm a visionary," she says. "Sometimes I can't believe the path I've taken through this company. I do have to stop and pinch myself sometimes."

Shot in the suburbs of Detroit, Brady Carpenter was a pro about being photographed in a bath of milk. He could hardly hear my instructions while I balanced on the edge of his parents bath. Here's the article in today's Guardian. Other subjects won ice cream, toilet roll, books and Kentucky Fried Chicken. U.K. subjects photographed by fellow photographer, Alan Powdrill.
While I prepare a blog about my late Grandfather Nicky McConville who was a Photographer and Barber, I thought I'd share an image from one of my trips to Africa. The image takes pride of place on my wall in a frame made by a local Kenyan carpenter.
This image is from a friends wedding in Ol ari Nyiro, Laikipia, Kenya. This beautiful land is positioned at the edge of the Great Rift Valley and is the home of the Gallmann Memorial Foundation whose outstanding work is prolific in preserving the local environment and wildlife.
The 200 something guests honored the celebration in true British wedding attire, appropriate to their house and heritage. I might have considered wearing something a little more practical other than my traditional black frock coat with it's bells and whistles. Running around with my Nikon D1 and a Mamiya RZ67 in the African heat, was a little taxing to say the least.


About the Book: You Cannot Find Peace Until You Find All The Pieces tells the story of how God through Jesus Christ transformed the author's life and gave her the strength to overcome a less than desirable childhood, the regrets of becoming a teen mother, anger, immaturity, poor decision making and a really bad attitude.
About the Book: It should have been simple, this finding the next-of-kin. But for Officer Cody Byrne the explosion that injures the Shakespeare professor is more than suspicious. So begins the unraveling of a man's life, a man's secrets, his loves and birthright, as Cody follows his trail to Washington, DC, then London, trying to glean something of his shadowed past from the Renaissance documents he left behind. It begins in Montana, but soon takes her on a global journey, as well as a psychological one as she struggles with her own PTSD and the family she hardly knows.
About the Book: Afghanistan, March 2002. In the early morning darkness on a frigid mountaintop, a U.S. soldier is stranded, alone, surrounded by fanatical al Qaeda fighters. For the man's fellow Navy SEALs, and for waiting teams of Army Rangers, there was only one rule now: leave no one behind. In this gripping you-are-there account–based on stunning eyewitness testimony and painstaking research–journalist Malcolm MacPherson thrusts us into a drama of rescue, tragedy, and valor in a place that would be known as ROBERTS RIDGE.
About the Book: When Ann LeSage was a little girl, she had an invisible friend—a poltergeist, that spoke to her with flying knives and howling winds. She called it the Insect. And with a little professional help, she contained it. And the nightmare was over, at least for a time. But the nightmare never truly ended. As Ann grew from girl into young woman, the Insect grew with her. It became more than terrifying. It became a thing of murder. Now, as she embarks on a new life married to successful young lawyer, Ann believes that she finally has the Insect under control. But there are others vying to take that control away from her. They are the 'Geisters. And in pursuing their own perverse dream, they risk spawning the most terrible nightmare of all.
About the Book: Daniel Ang lives to run, so when a freak accident leaves him in a wheelchair, he thinks his life is over. He fights against his injury, against the creatures that did this to him, and against life itself. What he doesn't realize is that the real enemy is not out there at all. It's inside him, and crippling his body is only the beginning. Run is a story of one man's descent into madness as he loses everything he once held dear. Forced to return time and again to the abandoned farm at the center of his nightmares, his life spirals out of control and begins to threaten everyone with whom he comes into contact.
About the Book: Weary but wise private-eye Matt Murdock is back, and he has met his match--a vital and attractive writer and cop's daughter, Helene Steinbeck. Helene is hiking in the hills of Taos when she happens upon the corpse of a young woman downed by an arrow. Murdock appears on the horizon just in time to prevent a team of archers from using Helene as target practice. Murdock has been scouring Angel Mountain and vicinity for evidence that will help him discover the whereabouts of Barbi Bellini, the missing daughter of a friend.
About the Book: Retired Army Ranger Thomas Lane once burned for the taste of gunpowder and the thrill of the battle. But as he struggles to cope with his own PTSD and the death of his eldest son, killed by an IED in Afghanistan, Lane learns that the beast called war demands more. Now the National Guard is calling on Lane's youngest son to serve. Consumed with sorrow, Lane knows he will do anything to save his child—even if it means going in his place, a pursuit unheard of since the Civil War when slaves were sent in place of their masters.

Geoffs Life After Work !
Life is just beginning
My Tribute to Leonard Nimoy at the Brisbane Anime Exhibition
At the recent Anime Exhibition/Show beginning of March I had a good chance to show my Spock greeting hand formation (Four fingers on one hand dived into two split in the middle forming a "V" or as known to Star Trek followers "Trekkies" a Vulcan way of greeting)
Leonard Simon Nimoy (March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015) was an American actor, film director, photographer, author, poet, singer and songwriter. He was known for his role as Mr. Spock of the Star Trek franchise.Nimoy began his career in his early twenties, teaching acting classes in Hollywood and making minor film and television appearances through the 1950s, as well as playing the title role in Kid Monk Baroni. Foreshadowing his fame as a semi-alien, he played Narab, one of three Martian invaders in the 1952 movie serial Zombies of the Stratosphere. In 1965, he made his first appearance in the rejected Star Trek pilot "The Cage", and went on to play the character of Spock until 1969, followed by eight feature films and guest slots in the various spin-off series. The character has had a significant cultural impact and garnered Nimoy three Emmy Award nominations; TV Guide named Spock one of the 50 greatest TV characters. After the original Star Trek series, Nimoy starred in Mission: Impossible for two seasons, hosted the documentary series In Search of…, narrated Civilization IV, and made several well-received stage appearances. He also had a recurring role in the science fiction series Fringe. Nimoy's fame as Spock was such that both of his autobiographies, I Am Not Spock (1975) and I Am Spock (1995), were written from the viewpoint of sharing his existence with the character. Nimoy has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

NAME

ntp_mon - Monitoring Options

ntpd includes a comprehensive monitoring facility suitable for continuous, long term recording of server and client timekeeping performance. See the statistics command below for a listing and example of each type of statistics currently supported. Statistic files are managed using file generation sets and scripts in the [char46]/scripts directory of this distribution. Using these facilities and Unix cron jobs, the datacan be automatically summarized and archived for retrospective analysis.

MONITORING COMMANDS

statistics name [...]

Enables writing of statistics records. Currently, six kinds of namestatistics are supported.

clockstats

Enables recording of clock driver statistics information. Each update received from a clock driver appends a line of the following form to the file generation set named clockstats:
49213 525.624 127.127.4.1 93 226 00:08:29.606 D
The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next field shows the clock address in dotted-quad notation, The final field shows the last timecode received from the clock in decoded ASCII format, where meaningful. In some clock drivers a good deal of additional information can be gathered and displayed as well. See information specific to each clock for further details.

cryptostats

This option requires the OpenSSL cryptographic software library. It enables recording of cryptographic public key protocol information. Each message received by the protocol module appends a line of the following form to the file generation set named cryptostats:
49213 525.624 127.127.4.1 message
The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next field shows the peer address in dotted-quad notation, The final message field includes the message type and certain ancillary information. See the Authentication Options page for further information.

loopstats

Enables recording of loop filter statistics information. Each update of the local clock outputs a line of the following form to the file generation set named loopstats:
50935 75440.031 0.000006019 13.778190 0.000351733 0.0133806 6
The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next five fields show time offset (seconds), frequency offset (parts per million - PPM), RMS jitter (seconds), Allan deviation (PPM) and clock discipline time constant.

peerstats

Enables recording of peer statistics information. This includes statistics records of all peers of a NTP server and of special signals, where present and configured. Each valid update appends a line of the following form to the current element of a file generation set named peerstats:

48773 10847.650 127.127.4.1 9714 -0.001605376 0.000000000 0.001424877 0.000958674

The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next two fields show the peer address in dotted-quad notation and status, respectively. The status field is encoded in hex in the format described in Appendix B of the NTP specification RFC 1305. The final four fields show the offset, delay, dispersion and RMS jitter, all in seconds.

rawstats

Enables recording of raw-timestamp statistics information. This includes statistics records of all peers of a NTP server and of special signals, where present and configured. Each NTP message received from a peer or clock driver appends a line of the following form to the file generation set named rawstats:

50928 2132.543 128.4.1.1 128.4.1.20 3102453281.584327000 3102453281.58622800031 02453332.540806000 3102453332.541458000

The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next two fields show the remote peer or clock address followed by the local address in dotted-quad notation, The final four fields show the originate, receive, transmit and final NTP timestamps in order. The timestamp values are as received and before processing by the various data smoothing and mitigation algorithms.

sysstats

Enables recording of ntpd statistics counters on a periodic basis. Each hour a line of the following form is appended to the file generation set named sysstats:
50928 2132.543 36000 81965 0 9546 56 71793 512 540 10 147
The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The remaining ten fields show the statistics counter values accumulated since the last generated line.

Time since restart 36000

Time in hours since the system was last rebooted.

Packets received 81965

Total number of packets received.

Packets processed 0

Number of packets received in response to previous packets sent

Current version 9546

Number of packets matching the current NTP version.

Previous version 56

Number of packets matching the previous NTP version.

Bad version 71793

Number of packets matching neither NTP version.

Access denied 512

Number of packets denied access for any reason.

Bad length or format 540

Number of packets with invalid length, format or port number.

Bad authentication 10

Number of packets not verified as authentic.

Rate exceeded 147

Number of packets discarded due to rate limitation.

timingstats

ONLY available when the deamon is compiled with process time debugging support (--enable-debug-timing - costs performance). Enables recording of ntpd processing time information for various selected code paths:
53876 36.920 10.0.3.5 1 0.000014592 input processing delay
The first two fields show the date (Modified Julian Day) and time (seconds and fraction past UTC midnight). The next field is a potential peer address, - or -REFCLOCK- depending on the associated io source. Then an event count for the number of processed events in the code path follows. The fifth field is the total time spend for the events. The rest of the line denotes the code path description (see source for more information).

statsdir directory_path

Indicates the full path of a directory where statistics files should be created (see below). This keyword allows the (otherwise constant) filegen filename prefix to be modified for file generation sets, which is useful for handling statistics logs.

filegen name [file filename] [type typename] [link | nolink] [enable | disable]

Configures setting of generation file set name[char46] Generation file sets provide a means for handling files that are continuously growing during the lifetime of a server. Server statistics are a typical example for such files. Generation file sets provide access to a set of files used to store the actual data. At any time at most one element of the set is being written to. The type given specifies when and how data will be directed to a new element of the set. This way, information stored in elements of a file set that are currently unused are available for administrational operations without the risk of disturbing the operation of ntpd[char46] (Most important: they can be removed to free space for new data produced.)
Note that this command can be sent from the ntpdc program running at a remote location.

name

This is the type of the statistics records, as shown in the statistics command.

file filename

This is the file name for the statistics records. Filenames of set members are built from three concatenated elements prefix, filename and suffix:

prefix

This is a constant filename path. It is not subject to modifications via the filegen option. It is defined by the server, usually specified as a compile-time constant. It may, however, be configurable for individual file generation sets via other commands. For example, the prefix used with loopstats and peerstats generation can be configured using the statsdir option explained above.

filename

This string is directly concatenated to the prefix mentioned above (no intervening / (slash)). This can be modified using the file argument to the filegen statement. No [char46]. elements are allowed in this component to prevent filenames referring to parts outside the filesystem hierarchy denoted by prefix[char46]

suffix

This part is reflects individual elements of a file set. It is generated according to the type of a file set.

type typename

A file generation set is characterized by its type. The following types are supported:

none

The file set is actually a single plain file.

pid

One element of file set is used per incarnation of a ntpd server. This type does not perform any changes to file set members during runtime, however it provides an easy way of separating files belonging to different ntpd server incarnations. The set member filename is built by appending a [char46] (dot) to concatenated prefix and filename strings, and appending the decimal representation of the process ID of the ntpd server process.

day

One file generation set element is created per day. A day is defined as the period between 00:00 and 24:00 UTC. The file set member suffix consists of a [char46] (dot) and a day specification in the form YYYYMMdd. YYYY is a 4-digit year number (e.g., 1992). MM is a two digit month number. dd is a two digit day number. Thus, all information written at 10 December 1992 would end up in a file named prefix filename[char46]19921210[char46]

week

Any file set member contains data related to a certain week of a year. The term week is defined by computing day-of-year modulo 7. Elements of such a file generation set are distinguished by appending the following suffix to the file set filename base: A dot, a 4-digit year number, the letter W, and a 2-digit week number. For example, information from January, 10th 1992 would end up in a file with suffix [char46]1992W1[char46]

month

One generation file set element is generated per month. The file name suffix consists of a dot, a 4-digit year number, and a 2-digit month.

year

One generation file element is generated per year. The filename suffix consists of a dot and a 4 digit year number.

age

This type of file generation sets changes to a new element of the file set every 24 hours of server operation. The filename suffix consists of a dot, the letter a, and an 8-digit number. This number is taken to be the number of seconds the server is running at the start of the corresponding 24-hour period. Information is only written to a file generation by specifying enable; output is prevented by specifying disable[char46]

link | nolink

It is convenient to be able to access the current element of a file generation set by a fixed name. This feature is enabled by specifying link and disabled using nolink[char46] If link is specified, a hard link from the current file set element to a file without suffix is created. When there is already a file with this name and the number of links of this file is one, it is renamed appending a dot, the letter C, and the pid of the ntpd server process. When the number of links is greater than one, the file is unlinked. This allows the current file to be accessed by a constant name.

enable | disable

Enables or disables the recording function.

The Small Business Energy Efficiency Program is aimed at assisting small businesses in becoming more energy efficient by providing coaching that will assist in reducing energy costs, developing a sustainability plan and improving the business's environmental footprint.
Energy efficiency is an important next step towards creating a more sustainable future in Lethbridge. Reducing energy consumption is beneficial to the environment and is cost effective for businesses and consumers.
The Small Business Energy Efficiency Program launched on February 1, 2018. We will provide six weeks of sustainability planning focusing on energy efficiency, waste reduction and water conservation.
At Environment Lethbridge, we appreciate the many challenges that businesses can face when trying to become more energy efficient, the largest of which is that many of these activities will include changes to the building that can be cost prohibitive and/or be the responsibility of the landlord. We will be looking to work with each individual business and the limitations they may have. There are many simple steps that can be taken to make your business more energy efficient that are cost-effective, but will also have a great return on investment.
Throughout the summer of 2017, the Environment Lethbridge visited small businesses across Lethbridge and conducted a short survey in order to understand the barriers and benefits to implementing energy efficiency practices. The information that was collected during our survey is helping us to determine the best ways that we can support the implementation of energy efficiency actions by small businesses.
23% of small businesses surveyed believe that the environmental benefit is the number one reason to adopt energy efficient practices.
63% of small businesses surveyed believe that the cost savings is the number one benefit to adopting energy efficient practices.
78% of small businesses surveyed have already installed or will be installing LED Lights!
97% shut the lights off when they leave work for the day!
