Bombings in Thailand target tourist cities, killing 4 people
Posted: 3:18 AM, Aug 12, 2016
HUA HIN, Thailand (AP) — Attackers using firebombs and homemade explosives struck a series of popular resort cities and beach towns across Thailand in some of the worst violence to hit the country since a military coup two years ago. At least four people were killed and dozens wounded, including 11 foreigners.
It was not clear who was behind the attacks Thursday and Friday, which followed a successful referendum held last weekend on a new constitution that critics say will bolster the military's power for years to come.
The attacks occurred south of Bangkok and several of the blasts — including one on Patong beach in the tourist town of Phuket and four in the seaside resort city of Hua Hin — appeared designed to strike the tourism industry, which provides vital income to the government.
Police said firebombs also triggered blazes at markets and shops in six places, including Phuket, Trang, Surat Thani, Phang Nga and a souvenir shop in the tourist town of Ao Nang, Krabi.
Thailand's economy has sagged since the military seized power in a 2014 coup. But tourism has remained one of the few bright spots, with visitors rising to 30 million in 2015 and more than 14 million having visited by May 2016, according to the latest official figures.
Foreign governments, including the United States, issued warnings Friday urging travelers to use caution and avoid affected areas.
Police said four of the injured tourists were from Germany, two from Italy and one from Austria. The Netherlands said four of its citizens were also wounded.
"It is not yet clear who is behind these attacks," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a statement. "But one thing is clear: no political aim justifies violence and attacks on innocent people."
Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said the government was doing the best it "could to provide security to the country. ... We have to band together and stay strong."
"Why has it happened now when the country is improving ... Who (did it)? Who doesn't want to see Thailand getting better? Which group? Go find out for me."
Police said they were investigating all leads and had ruled out links to international militant groups.
Royal Thai Police Col. Krisana Patanacharoen said it was "too early to conclude" who was behind the attacks. But he said the bombings followed "a similar pattern used in the southern parts of the country" — a reference to a low-level insurgency in the country's Islamic south that has ground on for more than a decade and killed more than 5,000 people.
Southern militants fighting for greater autonomy have carried out sophisticated, coordinated attacks before, but most have hit three provinces in the far south that were not among those targeted Thursday and Friday.
The most devastating explosion occurred overnight in Hua Hin on a busy street filled with bars and restaurants. One Thai woman was killed and about 20 people were wounded, half of them foreigners, according to police Lt. Chaiyot Tisawong.
Gen. Sithichai Srisopacharoenrath, the superintendent of police in Hua Hin, said the bombs were hidden inside potted plants and were set off by remote control, about half an hour apart. The second blast caused the death and injuries. He said a Samsung cellphone had been recovered that they believe was used to detonate at least one of the bombs.
On Friday, debris and ball bearings could be seen strewn across the road as police investigated the scene. The blast damaged a pair of phone booths and shattered the window of a nearby Starbucks.
Many shops in the city center closed afterward and normally bustling streets were empty, for good reason: Hua Hin was hit by another two bombs that exploded in quick succession Friday morning near a clock tower, killing one person and wounding four more.
Separate blasts were reported elsewhere in the south. One exploded on Phuket city's popular Loma Beach, injuring one person. Two more detonated half an hour apart in front of two police stations in Surat Thani in southern Thailand, killing one and wounding three. And two bombs exploded outside a market in Phang Nga, damaging two vehicles but causing no casualties.
On Thursday afternoon, a bomb blew up in the southern province of Trang — full of beautiful beaches and tourist islands — killing one person and injuring six, according to police and Thai press reports.
In Hua Hin, 51-year-old Italian Andrea Tazzioli said he "saw light, white light" after the second of Thursday night's explosions, and that he immediately felt pain in his shoulder "like big fire."
Speaking later at a hospital, he said he fell down and saw people "screaming, the glass broken, table broken, confusion."
Tourist Shane Brett told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. from his hotel room that there was panic after the first Hua Hin explosion.
"I was at a bar in the main bar district in Hua Hin right outside the Hilton Hotel and at first I heard kind of a bang ... and everyone kind of panicked," Brett said.
He looked outside and saw people running. Half an hour later, heading back to his hotel, he saw "a good few people injured and the whole area just panicking ... the whole area was just shut down with police cars, ambulances."
Thailand has been plagued by political violence, including several bombings, since the populist billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra was ousted as prime minister in a 2006 military coup after demonstrations accused him of corruption, abuse of power and insulting King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Thaksin's ouster set off sometimes-bloody battles for power between his supporters and opponents, who include the military. The government of his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who became prime minister in 2011, was toppled in the country's last coup in 2014.
On Sunday, Thai voters approved a referendum on a new constitution that is supposed to lead to an election next year. Critics say it is undemocratic and is fashioned to keep the military in control for at least five more years even if a free election is held.
Friday's blast took place on the birthday of Thailand's Queen Sirikit. The junta has repeatedly said that defending the monarchy is a top priority, and the army and its allies are keen to ensure a smooth succession for Bhumibol, who is the world's longest reigning monarch.


The 2014 Gordon Research Conference on Marine Natural Products will highlight progressive research on the chemistry and biology of natural product chemicals from the marine environment. Featured topics will include advances in molecular characterization, biomedical applications, biotechnology, genomics, chemical ecology, molecular pharmacology, and chemical biology to reflect the ever-evolving breadth of this dynamic field. The conference will feature outstanding investigators from academia, industry and the government, and will provide opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format. Some poster presenters will be selected for short talks. One of the hallmarks of this biennial conference is its friendly and collegial atmosphere that facilitates the exchange of ideas with leaders in the field that often lead to cross-disciplinary collaborations. We look forward to your participation.
The paper presented is among the seminal discussions on the underappreciated biodiversity of benthic cyanobacteria and provides strong evidence on the linkage between chemodiversity and the phylogeny of marine cyanobacteria. Hence, the paper presented was very well received by junior and senior participants in the meeting. The paper also received commendation on the discovery of chemotaxonomic markers as an alternative to 16S rRNA for phylogenetic identification of marine cyanobacteria. Also, the audience was appreciative of the comprehensive research done on marine cyanobacteria- from biodiversity, chemodiversity and bioactivity assessment.
Lilibeth A. Salvador-Reyes PhD, assistant professor at the Marine Science Institute was among the participants in the Marine Natural Products Gordon Research Conference held last March 2-7, 2014 in Ventura, Californa. Dr. Salvador-Reyes presented her research entitled "Targeted Natural Products Discoveries from Marine Cyanobacteria Using Combined Phylogenetic and Mass Spectrometric Evaluation". She was also among the junior researchers who participated in the inaugural Marine Natural Products Gordon Research Seminar held from March 1-2, 2014.

Fruit Flies and Their Taste in Music
By Enago Academy
Music has a different effect on all of us. But what about other living organisms? Do you think they can hear music? Scientists can anwer your question, at least for flies. Did you know that even flies have a taste for music? Researchers at Nagoya University carried out a study on fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). According to their study, fruit flies have a specific wing movement that can attract their partners. The female fruit flies get attracted to a specific wing "pulse" of male fruit flies, which in turn leads to copulation. They identify their species with the help of the "sound" generated by the wings. Using the process of auditory learning, the Nagoya University researchers were able to modulate sexual preference in insects.

Q: How to crop dynamic images coming from java side? I'm getting an image from a url from a Java service.  The image size is too big.
How can I decrease it's size using inline css?
Image contains lots of white border from top and bottom.  I need to remove that too.

A: Please remember, that StackOverflow is not made for doing your work. Please try it the next time yourself and google the stuff you want before consulting SO.
Here the first two links if you google css3 cut image, both do more or less the same you want:

*

*CSS Display an Image Resized and Cropped

*How to "crop" a rectangular image into a square with CSS?
Anyways, here is a possible solution for you with inline-css:
Place the -Tag with your image in a
, which defines the size of the "window", trough which we look at the image (which size remains actually the same).
Here a simple exapmle:

We are using overflow: hidden; here, which says that everything in this box, which is bigger than the box itself, will not being displayed. To adjust the image (because of your white borders), add i.e. style="margin-left: 10px"; to the -Tag. You can also use negative values there.

Marking accessibility gains while looking toward a more inclusive future
DNR debuts 30-year anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act presentation
By JOHN PEPIN
Michigan Department of Natural Resources
On a late July day in the summer of 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law on the south lawn of the White House, before a crowd of about 3,000 people.
The landmark civil rights legislation – which the U.S. Department of Justice said prohibits disability discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life – was patterned after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on color, race, sex, religion or national origin.
"It is long overdue," a wheelchair user and manufacturer told the Times Herald in Port Huron a couple of days before the bill was signed. "It will finally open the door to official recognition of the largest minority in the United States, which are the physically and mentally handicapped."
Today, the term "handicapped" would not be used, in favor of "people with disabilities."
The Herald said, "The bill defines disabled as anyone with a mental or physical problem limiting 'some major life function.' It protects those with disabilities from discrimination in employment. It will guarantee access to all public venues – hotels, stadiums, retail shops, restaurants, buses, trains, airplanes and much more."
Thirty years ago, when the legislation was signed, 43 million Americans – or about 1 in 5 people – were living with a disability. Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report 61 million adults in the U.S. have a disability, or about 26% of the population.
This statistic is vitally important for Michiganders, and others, seeking to enjoy and experience the beauty of nature, the fascination and educational opportunities offered by museums, libraries and other cultural resources, and the exhilaration of outdoor recreation.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has an ongoing commitment to improving access for everyone and has made substantial progress in that endeavor.
The DNR has joined numerous governmental agencies across Michigan in commemorating the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, pledging a renewed focus and more work toward greater opportunities for inclusion.
"We want to learn and discover more ways that we can help make Michigan accessible to everyone," said DNR Director Dan Eichinger. "We at the DNR want to spread the word about the improvements we have made so that more people across Michigan, regardless of ability, can enjoy outdoor recreation as part of their everyday lives."
In 2019, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights State Americans With Disabilities Act Compliance Division pulled together a committee of representatives from across state government, including the DNR, to plan a commemoration celebrating three decades of progress under this important civil rights legislation.
"Plans for a large in-person event were just underway when the committee saw it would have to pivot because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Diana Paiz, DNR liaison to the state committee and chairwoman of the DNR Accessibility Team's marketing subcommittee. "The planning committee turned to an online strategy that would commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ADA and provide education to the public through a webinar series on state services that may be of particular interest to people with disabilities.
"It quickly became clear that the new online format would make the commemoration have a much wider and longer lasting impact than the original concept of a single in-person event."
Michigan's online commemoration series began in July 2020 with a live presentation, featuring Lt. Gov. Garland Gilchrist and recorded messages from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and former U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, who was instrumental in the effort to pass the Americans With Disabilities Act in Congress.
With the help of eMichigan, the Michigan.gov/ADA30 website was established, which includes a calendar of upcoming online events in the ongoing commemoration series and an archive of past events.
Today marks the debut of the Michigan DNR's presentation on accessible recreation. Click the link above to view the video.
"The purpose of the video is to help viewers discover tools, highlight DNR resources and provide personal testimonies about Michigan's accessible recreation opportunities," said Bradley Parsons, the DNR's media production specialist.
The DNR wanted to make sure the video itself was accessible, so it includes captions and American Sign Language Interpretation throughout.
Parsons worked hard to produce the video presentation for the DNR, which highlights numerous advances in accessibility, ranging from special motorized track and mobility chairs to hunting blinds with adaptive hunting equipment where hunters suck on a plastic tube to fire a rifle.
From state parks to beaches and waterfalls to shooting ranges, museums and libraries, the DNR has helped make accessibility more common where recreation is concerned.
The DNR's 90-minute accessible presentation features more than 20 speakers – including members of the department's Accessibility Team (A-Team) – contributing insight into the department's ongoing accessible recreation improvement efforts.
"The Department of Natural Resources is committed to accessible use and enjoyment of the state's natural and cultural resources for current and future generations," said Mike Holsinger, ADA coordinator for the department. "Providing greater access to outdoor recreation in Michigan is key to increasing meaningful participation for people of all abilities."
Holsinger said an internal DNR accessibility team was created in the late 1990s to provide broad representation across divisions within the department, as well as to supply a venue to discuss programs, new facilities construction or alterations, legislation, policy and procedures.
The DNR Accessibility Advisory Council was formed in 2007 as an external body of private citizens who demonstrate a clear interest in improving accessibility to Michigan's natural resources. The council provides guidance to the DNR and outreach to the general public.
Members of the council, some of whom represent disability communities, are appointed by the DNR director. Council members also appear in the DNR presentation, along with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and DNR Director Dan Eichinger.
"Improving accessibility for people with disabilities is an important part of my administration's continuing work to foster inclusion for all people across Michigan," Whitmer said. "It's hard to imagine having equity and inclusion without accessibility."

Chick-fil-A, notorious for its deep ties to the anti-LGBT movement, is now bullying a Vermont businessman, threatening to sue him for copyright infringement.
Bo Muller-Moore, a Montpelier artist whose story has been all over the Vermont media for weeks and has now caught the attention of the national media, has printed T-shirts featuring original designs in a room above his garage. He's been at it since 2000, printing each shirt by hand, one at a time.
A few months after he started printing shirts, a local kale farmer approached him at the Montpelier Farmers Market. The man grew kale and wondered if Muller-Moore would print him a shirt reading "Eat More Kale." Muller-Moore agreed, and delivered the shirt to the farmer. When the two ran into each other at the farmers market a few weeks later, Muller-Moore was surprised to learn that the farmer was being barraged by people requesting shirts of their own. Since then, Muller-Moore's "Eat More Kale" T-shirts have grown into something of a cultural symbol in a state that prides itself on its environmental consciousness and its support of both local sustainable agriculture and the "buy local" movement.
To this Vermonter, the chain's argument is implausible. This isn't trademark infringement, it's corporate bullying.
Vermont's two senators, Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders, have gotten involved, and today, governor Peter Shumlin held a press conference announcing his support for "Team Kale" and encouraging others to support Muller-Moore's stand against Chick-fil-A. If you'd like to lend your support, like Eat More Kale on Facebook, sign the Change.org petition calling on Chick-fil-A to get off the back of local businesses, and donate to Team Kale! I can't think of a quirkier, cooler way to make a statement this holiday season than an "Eat More Kale" T-shirt (other than a Truth Wins Out shirt, of course :-).

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said on Tuesday they would keep investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, despite a decision by Republicans on the panel to shut down the probe.


The concept of molality arises while studying solutions. Molality is also called as molal concentration. A solution is formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent. Solute is a substance which is dissolved in another substance during the formation of a solution. Solute are usually in smaller quantities. The solvent is a substance which dissolves solute in itself during the formation of the solution. The solvent is usually in larger quantities when compared to the solute. For example, salt is dissolved in water here salt is the solute and water is the solvent. Sugar dissolve in juice, here sugar is the solute and juice is the solvent. Hence when a solute dissolves in a solvent a solution is formed. The solutions in which the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent is called as a homogeneous solution.
The amount of solute dissolved in the solvents, and the solution formed can all be expressed in terms of concentrations. There are different ways in which the concentration is estimated such as molarity, molality, formality, percent composition and many more.
The amount of solute dissolved in one kilogram of the solvent is defined as the molality of the solution. The amount of solute is expressed in moles. Therefore the molal concentration of a solution is the moles of solute in kilogram of the solvent.
Moles of the solute used to form a solution.
Amount of the solvent expressed in kilograms.
The molality of a solution is expressed as 'm'. The units for expressing the molality equals moles/kilograms or mol/kg.
Question: Find the molality of 5 moles of Nacl mixed in 2000 grams for the solvent?
Here the moles of the solute = 5 moles.
The amount of the solvent = 2000 grams.
Expressing the solvent in Kilograms = 2000/1000 = 2Kg.
Simplifying the calculation, Molality = 2.5 m.
Question: Find the number or moles of FeO dissolved in 1.5 kg of solvent, if the molality of the solution if 0.3m.
Here, the amount of the solvent = 1.5 Kg.
Molality of the solvent used = 0.3 m.
This gives Moles of solute = 0.3 x 1.5 = 4.5 moles of Feo.
Question: Find the amount of the solvent if 0.24 moles of the solute is dissolved to obtain a molality of 0.48m?
Here, the number of moles of the solute = 0.24.
The molality of the solution = 0.48 m.
The amount of the solvent = 1/2Kg = 0.5 Kg.
Question: Calculate the molality when 20 grams of KCl is dissolved in 400 gm of the solvent?
Mass of solute = 20 grams.
Moles of KCl = 20/74.6 = 0.27 moles.
Amount of solvent in Kg = 400/1000 = 0.4 Kg.
Question: What is the molality of the solution when 15 grams of Na2CO3 is dissolved in a 0.25 kg of solvent to form a solution?
Given is the mass of Sodium Carbonate = 15 grams.
The number of moles of Na2CO3 is required for finding the molality of the solution.
The Molar mass of Sodium Carbonate Na2CO3 = 2 (Na) + C + 3 (O).
Refer the periodic table for the atomic mass unit for Na, C and O.
Molarity and molality are both used to express the concentrations of a given solution. Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of the solution. Molarity is also called as the molar concentration of the solution. Molarity of a substance gives the concentration with respect to the total solution whereas the molality gives the concentration with respect to the amount of solvent. The units for expressing molarity is mol/L or M.
Following are very unique and useful solved examples involving molality and molarity.
Question: The molality of a solution formed by dissolving NaCl in a solvent is 0.56m. The density of the solution is 1.8g/ml. What is the molar concentration of the solution formed?
The molality of the solution = 0.56m.
This implies 0.56 moles of a solute NaCl is dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
Density of the solution given = 1.8g/ml.
Using the density formula .
Volume of the solution = 1.8 x 1032.73 = 1858.91 ml = 1.85891 L = 1.86 L (approx.).
Question: The molality of a solution formed by dissolving KI in a solvent is 1.2m. The density of the solution is 2.5 g/ml. What is the molar concentration of the solution formed?
The molality of the solution = 1.2m.
This implies 1.2 moles of a solute KI is dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
Density of the solution given = 2.5g/ml.
Volume of the solution = 2.5 x 1199.20 = 2998 ml = 2.998 L.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the authorities to inform it whether they can shift the students of a school in Asola Bhati Mines area to some other AAP government-run institution. Justices V K Rao directed Delhi government's education department to decide within six weeks the proposal of shifting 810 girls and 1123 boys of the senior secondary school to some other institution till the new school building is constructed there. It also sought to know whether the students can be given free bus facility till then.
The court issued the direction during the hearing of a plea filed by a parent, through advocate Ashok Agarwal, contending that the senior secondary school in Bhati Mines had only a temporary roof and lacked basic infrastructure. Petitioner Bazi Ram had said the classrooms were made of temporary pre-fabricated material with tin roof and there was lack of furniture for students to sit and study. He has also said that the school had around 1933 students.
However, the Delhi government has said that construction of a permanent structure for the school in Bhati Mines cannot be done without the forest department's nod as it was located within the notified forest land around Asola Bhati wildlife sanctuary. It also said that a piece of land at Asola, about three km away from the present school premises, has been allotted for opening of the new government school which may be expedited as a permanent solution to the problem.
The petitioner's counsel suggested in the court that can they be shifted to other government-run school. The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing on August 3.

Save between 1 and 3 shots per hole!
If you want to maximise your enjoyment and minimise your scorecard there is only one answer - practice, practice, practice!
If you wanted to be good at a sport at school or college, how did you do it? you trained with a coach at least once a week to get yourself ready for the match. Some golfers mistakenly think that just going up the range to 'get their eye in' is the answer. Sadly, this is not the case. What happens is that you develop and embed bad habits. The right answer to increasing your enjoyment and improving your game is to combine coaching with practice. Learn how to play the shot correctly and then practice what you have learned.
Another challenge for amateur golfers is that they place the greatest emphasis on distance rather than their short game. However, top golfers and coaches agree that this is holding them back. They conclude that about 70% of your score is decided by how good you are with your short game shots! That's right 70%!! That number alone should motivate golfers to work more on their pitching, chipping and putting skills.
At Princes Risborough Golf Club we have decided to do something about this!
We have developed a new Academy Short Course.
You play the 9 hole Academy Short Course like you would any other course - it is competitive and fun. But, here's the difference, each hole provides you with the opportunity to be practicing one of the '9 smart shots to a better scorecard'. That's right, organise coaching for the 'smart shots' and then have fun practicing them whilst competing with your friends. Enjoy knocking from 1 to 3 shots off of your scorecard per hole by practicing some simple coaching guidance.
At Princes Risborough Golf Club we have put the fun back into learning and coaching great golf - it's a lot easier than you think. Simply practice doing the right things and you will improve. Or you could practice without direction - well what did Einstein say about the definition of insanity? "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result".
If you are a Member, access to the Academy Course is currently free with your membership.
So why not book a lesson with Bruce, simply click here - increase your enjoyment and improve your scorecard! or sign up to one of our 'Try Before You Buy' packages.

Q: Skipping callbacks and validation Is there a way to skip callbacks and validation by doing something along these lines in Rails 3?
Object.save(:validate => false, :skip_callbacks => true)

Thanks!

A: I encountered something like that before and I used this:
Model.send(:create_without_callbacks)
Model.send(:update_without_callbacks)

A: Skipping callbacks is a bit tricky. Some plugins and adapters add their own "essential" callbacks (acts_as_nested_set, oracle_enhanced_adapter as examples).
You could use the skip_callback and set_callback methods in checking which ones you'd be able to skip.
Some custom class methods could help:
  def skip_all_callbacks(klass)
    [:validation, :save, :create, :commit].each do |name|
      klass.send("_#{name}_callbacks").each do |_callback|
        # HACK - the oracle_enhanced_adapter write LOBs through an after_save callback (:enhanced_write_lobs)
        if (_callback.filter != :enhanced_write_lobs)
          klass.skip_callback(name, _callback.kind, _callback.filter)
        end
      end
    end
  end

  def set_all_callbacks(klass)
    [:validation, :save, :create, :commit].each do |name|
      klass.send("_#{name}_callbacks").each do |_callback|
        # HACK - the oracle_enhanced_adapter write LOBs through an after_save callback (:enhanced_write_lobs)
        if (_callback.filter != :enhanced_write_lobs)
          klass.set_callback(name, _callback.kind, _callback.filter)
        end
      end
    end
  end

A: For skipping callbacks in Rails 3, you can use update_all for your given purpose.
Source: update_all
The full list for skipping callbacks are here:

*

*decrement

*decrement_counter

*delete

*delete_all

*find_by_sql

*increment

*increment_counter

*toggle

*touch

*update_column

*update_all

*update_counters

Source: Skipping Callbacks

A: If you are trying to update the record skipping all callbacks and validations you could use update_columns passing the attributes hash. This method will update the columns direct on database.
For example:
object.update_columns(name: 'William')
If you want to create a new object, unfortunately I think there is no method to skip both validations and callbacks. save(:validate => false) works for validations. For callbacks you could use skip_callback but be careful, your code probably will not be thread-safe.

A: Object.save(:validate => false)

works as you would expect.  So far as I know you cannot turn off callbacks (unless you return false from a before_ callback, but that then aborts the transaction).

A: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations_callbacks.html details a small list of methods that avoid callbacks and validations - none of these include 'save' though.
However, the point of validations and callbacks is to enforce business logic. If you're avoiding them - you should ask yourself why.

You all remember the AccuQuilt GO! Cutter, right? I'm not really a quilter, but I want to be. So, when I was given the opportunity to participate in a bloggy tour for this new book showing all kinds of quilts you can make with your GO! Cutter, I jumped at the chance.
I've been asked to review the very first (hint: easiest) project in the book (probably because they know I'm not a quilter but I play one on the internet).
The quilt is called Stepping Stones.
All the quilts in the book use the Mix & Match die set.
The Stepping Stones quilt only has 2 different blocks…I think even I could handle that. The directions are clear and simple. The illustrations and pictures are plentiful. And, there's even a graphic at the beginning of each quilt to show you exactly which dies you'll use. Seriously…there's pretty much no way you can screw this up!
To purchase the book (hard copy or PDF because you need it NOW), go here.

Gilbert Maurice Norman (7 April 1915 – 6 September 1944) was a British Army officer who served in the Special Operations Executive in France during World War II.

Norman was born in Saint-Cloud, Hauts-de-Seine, to an English father and a French mother and was educated in France and England. He joined the army, receiving a commission in the Durham Light Infantry in November 1940 and was subsequently recruited into the Special Operations Executive (SOE). In November 1942, he was sent into France to join the newly formed Prosper network, but on 24 June 1943 was arrested by the Gestapo, together with cell leader Francis Suttill and courier Andrée Borrel.

Norman was taken to the Paris headquarters of the Sicherheitsdienst at 84 Avenue Foch. The Germans used Norman's captured wireless set to transmit their own false messages to SOE Headquarters in Baker Street.  Norman attempted to warn London that he was in captivity by not giving the Germans the second part of his security check, which they did not know about. Omitting the security check from a message was specifically designed to act as a duress code which would warn London that the sender was being coerced. However, Norman was frustrated when London sent a curt reply telling him to correct the omission.

The Germans were thus able to set a trap which resulted in the capture of Jack Agazarian who had been sent with Nicholas Bodington to investigate the fate of the Prosper network.  Norman was shipped to Mauthausen concentration camp, where he was executed on 6 September 1944.

Major Gilbert Norman is honoured on the Brookwood Memorial in Surrey, England, and is also on the "Roll of Honour" on the Valençay SOE Memorial in the town of Valençay, in the Indre departément of France.

Author Luke Jennings is behind "Villanelle" and "Eve"
'Killing Eve': The Book Series That Inspired The Hit TV Show

Killing Eve premiered on BBC America to rave reviews in 2018. But did you know that the spy-thriller is based on a book series? Let's take a closer look at the origins of "Villanelle" and "Eve" in the novels by British author Luke Jennings—who continues to receive credit as creator on Killing Eve episodes to date.
Viewers first met "Villanelle" (Jodie Comer) and "Eve Polastri" (Sandra Oh) when Killing Eve premiered in 2018.
But fans of spy and assassin literature may have known the characters beforehand, if they were familiar with the work of Luke Jennings. The British author is behind the series of novels that were the inspiration for Killing Eve and first contained the "Villanelle" and "Eve" characters. Here's what you need to know about the books.
Author, critic, and journalist Luke Jennings wrote his first novels in the 1990s, some time before he would introduce the world to "Villanelle." After work in various genres, the British author began to release thriller Codename Villanelle, which was published as a series of four e-book novellas between 2014 and 2016.

The series introduced "Villanelle" and "Eve Polastri" as Killing Eve fans know them now. It traced the Russian assassin's origins and her work with "The Twelve," as well as the eventual investigation involving MI5 agent "Eve." Following Codename Villanelle, Jennings has released two sequels, Killing Eve: No Tomorrow (2019) and Killing Eve: Die For Me (2020).
Killing Eve Cast Season 3
Killing Eve: TV show vs. books - The differences
Whereas the TV series is "based on the Villanelle novels by Luke Jennings," the author's two sequels are noted to diverge from the direction of TV's Killing Eve. Whether or not the show will reconnect with the later novels remains unclear as it heads into season 4 and beyond.
There are also important differences between the TV series and novels, including:
More "Villanelle" and "Eve" face-to-face time on TV
Additional "Villanelle" backstory in the books
"Villanelle" is more ruthless and "Eve" is younger and British in the books
The character of "Carolyn" is a man in the novel series
Deaths, assassinations, and romances differ between TV and books
Killing Eve: "Eve" (Sandra Oh) and "Villanelle" (Jodie Comer) in season 2.
"The plot that suited the book is similar to what they used on TV, but it's not the same in all aspects," Jennings explained in a 2020 interview. "I think of the books as occupying the same imaginative universe as the TV series and featuring most of the same characters, but they're complementary," he added. "They're not the same."
To explore the origin of — and a new angle to — the TV show that many know and love, read Luke Jennings's Codename Villanelle and Killing Eve sequels today.

The Poplar Bluff Kindergarten Center was among three schools in Southeast Missouri to be recognized by the state last year for exhibiting best practices under the Collaborative Works initiative.
The grant-funded program through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is designed to teach at risk students how to track their own academic and behavioral progress in the classroom.
Teachers generally choose kindergarten because they have a passion for early childhood education, agreed Brotman, who described it as hands on all day long, a pace that requires lots of energy. "It definitely takes a special person to teach kindergarten," Brotman admitted.
"It is true," Brotman said. "This is their first experience dealing with a friend, losing a tooth, leaving mom, eating lunch in a cafeteria, opening milk, getting in line.

In July of 1984, a group of community minded individuals, led by Tom Schipp, met to discuss the feasibility of purchasing a tract of land near the north side park with the idea of building a community center. In August this group met with local businesses and industries to determine if sufficient funds could be raised to help purchase the land and build a community center. In September of 1984, the group met with an attorney and filed an application to the State of Indiana requesting incorporation of the Ferdinand Community Center as a not-for-profit corporation. The original board included Tom Schipp, President; Andy Olinger, Vice-President; James Hagedorn, Secretary; Lee Begle, Treasurer; and Board Members; James Treat, Fritz Blessinger, and Albert Rothgerber. Fred Weyer joined the board in 1985, replacing Fritz Blessinger who passed away and Ken Pund replaced James Treat who moved out of town in 1988. Tom Schipp served as President of the Board from 1984-2001 and remained on the board until 2002. Andy Olinger took over as President in 2001 and served as President for the next 4 years. In 2005, Lee Begle was named President and continues to serve as the current President of the Board.
In the next few months the board raised $60,000.00, enough money to purchase a 12.28 acre tract of land in January of 1985 from Robert A. Leinenbach. The board then established a set of goals and time-lines to raise enough money to build a 12,000 square foot facility. On April of that year the board along with fifty community members kicked off an official fund drive that included lifetime memberships. Fundraising continued over the next three years and on June of 1987, an official ground breaking ceremony took place. Bid letting for construction took place on December 1988 and general construction began on the community center building in March of 1989. On September 2, 1989, the facility held a Dedication and Grand Opening Ceremony.
During the years leading up to the grand opening, membership continued to grow to over 800 members. The lifetime membership for those joining in the first year was $250.00 and those donating $1,000.00 or more were given Honorary Charter status. Following the initial campaign, lifetime membership rates moved to $300.00 per family. Thanks to the generous support from local businesses, industries, and 800 plus members, the Ferdinand Community Center had enough money to build a facility that was much needed in the area. The building includes a large community room that has a capacity of 800 and a meeting room that can accommodate up to 80 guests. The board added approximately 1000 square foot storage room onto the facility 8 years after the opening. The facility has hosted a large number of wedding receptions and other celebrations. It also has been used for auctions, gun shows, community events, corporate events, home shows, and a variety of other entertainment. The most significant thing about this facility is the fact that not one tax dollar was used on the construction of this facility. Every penny was derived from donations and memberships, a testament of the true cooperative spirit of Ferdinand and the surrounding area. The facility was built on 1710 Community Drive.
The current community center board of directors include Lee Begle, President; Andy Olinger, Vice President; Randy Greulich, Secretary; Ken Pund, Treasurer; and Board Members, Don Mohr, Paul Weyer, and Greg Dilger, all volunteers. Mark Oser also served on the board for a six-year period of time from 2002-2008. Current salaried positions include a booking manager and cleaning personnel. The facility hosts around 35 weddings per year and a number of other club meetings and community events.
In May of 2009, the Community Center Board made the decision to donate 5.55 acres of community center property to help pave the way for two significant additions to the Ferdinand community, a library and a YMCA. The library was built on 1.95 acres and the YMCA was built on 3.6 acres of land. These two facilities, combined with the Community Center and the 18th Street Park, provide the Ferdinand community with tremendous social, educational, and recreational opportunities.

Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2018 1:09 pm Post subject: How to store seeds??
Hi there. I have heard conflicting advice on how best to store seeds. I have the usual range of annuals, perennials and vegetables.
2. is it possible to leave seeds too long in the fridge?
At present my seeds are in the small plastic bags that they came in, and they're all in a Tupperware box in my garage.
4. Which storage method would result in longer periods of viability?
First off i would change them into brown paper bags/envelopes.
If you have that many then have a look into freezing them.
You are going to get a few answers at variance on this one, each have their own favoured methods.
So that you know, the reason Tagwex said put them in PAPER, instead of plastic, is because they'll always have just a little bit of moisture in them and will go mouldy in plastic.
If 'Management' will permit, I always kept mine over the winter on the floor of the hot press/airing cupboard. Moderate warmth and dry. Dry is the key.
Just so that you know, for 'management' read her that I live in fear of!!!! Met her once, lovely woman.
Storing seeds in a fridge for a short time tricks the seeds into thinking they have gone through a winter and when you take them out it is time to start growing!.
Don't leave them in plastic. Something we would all agree on, seeds need to be kept dry.
Viability depends on the type of seed. Grass and lettuce seeds last about a year before germination rates plummet. I once tried to patch a bare bit of the lawn with seed I bought the previous year. What a waste of time THAT was!
Some seeds can survive in drought situations for 50 years! Parts of the Atacama Desert don't see rain for decades. Yet when they do, the desert blooms!
Unless you can keep them in ideal conditions most seeds will last 3-4 years tops.

Public Universities Move to Scale Active Learning in Undergraduate Math Education
Washington, DC – In an effort to help undergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees succeed in introductory mathematics courses – the most common roadblock to a degree – the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) today announced it will work with a dozen universities to scale the adoption of active learning for undergraduate pre-calculus and calculus instruction.
Over the past year, APLU has worked with San Diego State University, University of Colorado Boulder, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which have all championed the use of active learning in introductory mathematics instruction with great success. With those three institutions as partners, APLU will now support and study the efforts of nine universities across the country. The process will help to identify which methods for implementing active learning for mathematics work best at different types of schools, with the ultimate goal of developing models that can work at virtually any institution.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting the project, known as SEMINAL: Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning, with a $3 million, five-year grant. The initiative will place a particular emphasis on helping underrepresented minority students succeed in introductory math courses that are foundational in STEM fields.
The nine universities announced today will join the three core institutions to form a diverse cohort of institutions aiming to study how to enact and support institutional change fostering the use of active learning in mathematics. The universities joining the effort were selected from a pool of 47 institutions that submitted proposals and will serve as models for a national push to reform introductory math instruction. Given significant university interest in joining the active learning project, SEMINAL will seek ways to engage a broader network of universities in the future.
"Far too many students hoping to pursue careers in STEM fields get tripped up by introductory math courses right off the starting block," said Howard Gobstein, APLU's Executive Vice President and one of the principal investigators on the NSF-backed initiative. "With a persistent shortage of skilled workers in STEM fields and unequal access to all students, we have a tremendous opportunity to broaden participation and address the biggest hurdle for STEM students' success. A growing body of evidence shows that active learning is highly effective at helping students succeed where traditional instructional methods would have failed them. And we're thrilled to scale an approach that we know works to help more students realize their dreams in the STEM fields."
The nine institutions are: California State University, East Bay; California State University, Fullerton, Kennesaw State University, Loyola University Chicago, Morgan State University, The Ohio State University, University of Maryland, University of Oklahoma, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
The institutions were selected through a rigorous peer review process examining the merit of proposals as well as institutional characteristics including type, size, location, and attributes of the student body. SEMINAL was initiated through, and continues to align with, the APLU Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership (MTEP) – building on earlier funding from the Helmsley Charitable Trust. APLU is also working to increase underrepresented minority participation in the STEM fields through its APLU INCLUDES effort, which aims to diversify STEM faculty.
"We have clear evidence that we can improve learning and retention for all students through active learning that promotes cognitive engagement, and this works especially well for those who are most at risk," said David M. Bressoud, Director, Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. "In response, the presidents of the professional societies in the mathematical sciences have called for the incorporation of these practices into all mathematics courses. But most faculty are not conversant with how to do this effectively, and most departments do not know how to foster the changes that need to be made. The work of APLU and its partnering universities through SEMINAL is demonstrating how departments can enable and support these innovations."
Introductory math courses are foundational to success in STEM majors and fields and active learning has proven highly effective in helping more students succeed in such courses. The largest study of undergraduate STEM education literature to date – a meta-analysis of 225 studies published by the National Academies in 2014 – found that undergraduate students in classes using active learning methods had higher course grades by half a letter grade, and students in classes with traditional lectures were 1.5 times more likely to fail.

Q: EF6 Complaining that unused Model has no Key I just spent some time resolving the strangest bug, and I can't figure out why it happened.  Maybe someone can follow along and shed some light on why...?
tl;dr: lightweight MembershipContext fails due to some completely unrelated object not having and ID field, but only does so when running under MVC: all integration tests that make sure this stuff works correctly... they work correctly.
What I Have:
I have a solution with a number of projects.  The pertinent ones are:

*

*LPA.Domain (contains POCOs for business objects/behavior)

*LPA.Data   (contains EF6 stuff with FluentAPI config and references LPA.Domain)

*LPA.Web    (contains an MVC project, refs Data and Domain)

This is a very normal setup for us and the project has been in development for some time with no issues.
Within the Data project I have two DbContexts that are used.  One, MembershipContext is used only during login and bypasses the user-based audit system to validate the user.  The MembershipContext has only three entities: User, UserMembershipDetail and UserRole.
The second, CoreContext has all the normal stuff (including tracking the currently logged in user ID for audit purposes).  This has many entities.
What I Did:
Now let's pretend I spend a few days doing some domain-level development.  I add handful of classes, set up their db counterparts, build the models (in CoreContext, MembershipContext doesn't change), write integration tests for the models and unit tests for the domain work.  All is well.  I haven't touched MembershipContext at all.
Part of what I did was add a new class to LPA.Domain to deal with an object called Matter (legal matter).  This was to mock up a single method I needed elsewhere, but was not set up in the db (yet).  I added an Ignore() on the appropriate entity and will flesh it out later.  No biggie, right?  All still happening in the CoreContext
What Happened:
I get done with a few days of domain-level development, then go to fire up the LPA.Web project and hit a strange error when trying to log in.  Some digging around tells me basically this:
When trying to get from Users in MembershipContext, it's throwing an exception saying that the LPA.Data.Matter EntityType has no key.
A couple confusing things about this:

*

*LPA.Data.Matter is not an object.  The Matter object resides in the LPA.Domain.Legal namespace.  Presumably this is an internal thing with EF6 as it creates it's own object to deal with things.  Ok, I can buy that...

*MembershipContext makes no use of Matter at all.  The three objects it does make use of have no downstream references (shallow or deep) to the Matter object.

*Integration Testing to build/retrieve the MembershipContext.Users works fine! (Users being the offending Entity in the exception)  I think this must indicate some different method between how the LPA.Web project is loading the LPA.Data.MembershipContext as opposed to how the test project is, but that doesn't make much sense to me...

*This Matter object is used in testing for the domain project and the LPA.Data.CoreContext tests without issue, why does it fail on the Membership and only when using it through an MVC project?

How I Fixed It:
As noted, I added the Matter class as a quick helper on the domain but hadn't fleshed out the storage stuff yet.  As such, I had no ID field on the object.  The resolution was as simple as adding an ID field.
This resolves the problem, but does not in any way help me understand what went wrong.
For what it's worth, in the MVC project we use a custom user and role provider based on the ExtendedMembershipProvider, which uses a custom repository (that in turn uses the MembershipContext).  The instantiation of the MembershipContext is identical between the test and the MVC projects.  I can't imagine why they'd act differently.
It's as if something in the MVC project is forcing EF6 to read/validate every object in the Domain class to ensure their validity to a non-existing data model.
Does anyone have the slightest idea why this happened?  I'm baffled, myself.

Chiara Varazzani: Behavioral Science Needs More Neuroscience
Chiara Varazzani, PhD is the Principal Advisor at the Behavioral Insights Unit in the Victorian Government's Department of Premier and Cabinet in Australia. Chiara is Italian born, French educated, and employed in Australia, adding her to the list of Italian-born behavioral scientists we've had on our show (Cristina Bicchieri, Francesco Gina, and Silvia Saccardo, in case you're counting).
She blew us away with her passion for behavioral science as well as her comments about the way our brain calculates the ratio between effort and reward with dopamine and noradrenaline. It was a reminder that there is hard science behind why we do what we do. She also wondered why so much of behavioral science interventions rely on what she very passionately described as old school methods. Interesting question!
If you're a marketer or a health care provider, Chiara has insights that prove beneficial to your work. And if you have any ideas on how to use smell in the world of sales incentives, we'd love to talk with you about that!
We also had a great exchange about music. Chiara has very wide musical interests and her playlists are bound to invite you into some wonderful, and possibly unfamiliar, artists.
Please enjoy our conversation with Chiara Varazzani.

For 2019, Petzl reinforces their commitment to helmets that offer side protection in addition to the standard top protection. Ideal for climbing, mountaineering, and even ski touring, the updated Meteor helmet joins updated belay devices and new rope bags in the brand's new product lineup for next spring.
The updated Meteor ($99.95), Petzl's most versatile helmet, designed with climbing, mountaineering and ski touring in mind, now offers enhanced protection that complies with Petzl's more stringent top and side protection testing protocol. Petzl helmets that pass these additional in-house tests guarantee a certain level of protection that goes beyond the EN 12492 and UIAA 106 standards that focus mainly on the top portion of the helmets. Petzl has recognized that impacts to the front, rear and side of the head happen as frequently as to the top, and has improved the level of protection that a helmet should offer.
Other improvements to the Meteor helmet include lighter weight, better ventilation, and compatibility with ski goggles or a visor. Both the Meteor and Sirocco helmets now have the option of adding a lightly tinted Skreen eye shield that protects eyes from wind and improves visibility in inclement weather. These improvements make it well suited for both summer and winter use.
In further product news, both the GriGri ($110), Reverso ($30), and Verso ($20) belay devices have been updated to be compatible with the ever shrinking rope sizes — they now work with dynamic single ropes from 8.5 mm to 11 mm, although they are optimized for 8.9 mm to 10.5 mm diameter ropes, half ropes (7.1 mm – 9.2 mm) and twin ropes (6.9 mm – 9.2 mm).
Petzl also debuts two new rope bags, the Kliff rock climbing bag ($60) and the KAB gym bag ($80). The Kliff, designed with a practical opening system, offers quick access to all essential gear (harness, quick draws, shoes, and rope up to 100 meters) without having to lay the back panel on the ground. The bag features a removable tarp for rope protection and adjustable foam shoulder straps for a more comfortable approach. Featuring a more urban aesthetic, the Kab has two distinct compartments to separate climbing equipment from other items in the bag. The design allows the volume of the pack to adjust from 20 to 26 liters. It has a removable rope tarp and a reinforced, adjustable strap for maximum comfort.
Expect the new products to hit shelves in January 2019.
