"Crew, prepare the cabin for landing". Looking out the plane's window, I spotted a town along a river with a huge golden stupa. Even from way up there I could tell was enormous. Pointing it out to J, I wondered whether it was the Shwedagon (which of course it wasn't). We descended over fields of brown and green. A few little towns with simple houses sitting along silver streams snaking through the countryside. We landed before I had a chance to see the city of Yangon.
As we were going through passport control, we contemplated the line of chaos outside the exit. Cars, taxis, minivans crawled along the drop-off/pick-up zone with drivers and passengers weaving through the tangle. After my first Mingalabar with the customs officer, I was through, changing my pristine US dollars to kyats and extracting a few further kyats from the ATM. J also changed some notes while I sussed out the duty free store. The range of goods was small, but the selection of wines surprisingly large.
With a few bottles in hand we met our smiling driver Kyaw, from our local travel agent One Stop Myanmar, amongst the throng crowded at the exit. Shortly after that, J and I were in the back of Kyaw's car gawking at all the sights along the roadside as we headed towards the city. After a brief stop to pay our agent and collect our vouchers and airline tickets, we checked into our Yangon hotel – Kawandgyi Palace (which we loved – review posted on TripAdvisor).
So by now it was mid afternoon, so we thought. With the early departure from Singapore and the short flight, we were a little beat so decided on a quiet afternoon around the hotel and walked along the boardwalks that surround the royal lake. The lake was lovely, with many couples and families strolling around. But we quickly discovered how hot May in Yangon was under that baking afternoon sun. Luckily I had my new best friend – my umbrella – to provide continuous shade as we wondered along the uneven and slightly rickety boardwalk. However, we didn't walk too for, only making it as far as the little temple built on a slight mud-flat island (Shin Upagot shrine). Set over the lake it was a very peaceful place with couples relaxing under shady trees out of the hot afternoon sun. An elderly monk gestured for us to enter the temple, but we were content just walking around the outside where we could see a golden Buddha statue and other shrines within.
Looking over the lake, the huge Karaweik cast a huge gold reflection over the lake. It's a reproduction of a royal barge and resembles a giant boat with two dragon-like bird heads at the bow, a gold palace with a multi-tiered roof in the middle, and the tails of the bird-dragon at the stern. Though it looked interesting and I was keen to see it, we were so hot with sweat dripping down our necks and back, and we hadn't bought any water with us. As we walked back, I noticed that the sky seemed remarkably light, given that by my calculations it was getting close to sunset.
On the hill in the distance Shwedagon Pagoda loomed above the tree-tops over the lake. We had planned to visit for sunset so we cooled off, replenished our fluids and changed into longer pants before heading off. It was only a short walk down the main road. By chance I decided to ask the hotel staff for the time. Turns out, Yangon is one and a half hours behind Singapore, and three and half hour behind Melbourne. So instead of it being (what I thought) five-ish, it was three-thirty-ish. Excellent – some more time to relax.
Shwedagon Paya (or pagoda – not sure which is the right term) was bigger, brighter, golder (is that a word?) and more amazing than I had ever imagined. It only took about ten minutes to walk there, plus another ten minutes to cross the major road and round-a-bout that stood between it and the hotel. J and I are veterans of scrossing busy city roads in SE Asia, having no problem in the dense traffic of Ho Chi Minh, Bangkok, and Phnom Penh. But there is a major difference in Yangon – no motorbikes, just cars, busses and trucks. Just a little bit more dangerous. And the traffic moved steadily around the round-a-bout so breaks and crossing opportunities were few. A few times, we crossed out into the middle of the road, only to turn around an return to the curb as large trucks approached leaving no-where to go. We must have looked like the character from the 80's game frogger stepping forward, then to the side, then retreating… Once on the other side, J noticed a designated pedestrian crossing a little way down the road. "I think we should cross there on the way back", he laughed.
Back to the incredible pagoda. We entered from the southern stairway guarded by two enormous white clinthes, half lion / half dragon creatures. Removing our shoes before we stepped onto the stairs, we appreciated the roof that protected the tiles becoming like a fry pan and cooking the soles of our feet. There are a lot of steps up, but simply looking around at the people, stalls, and many pictures all the way up, the steep journey seemed to melt into a few simple steps. At the top, we exited only to be stopped in our tracks by the sight of the huge gold stupa. It was almost overwhelming and left me in such a state of wonder and awe that tears sprang up into my eyes. Before I continued, I stopped for a moment of silent reflection, for inner prostrations and mental offerings.
Walking in a clockwise direction, J and I slowly explored all the shrines and stupas on the temple platform. I was astonished about just how large the complex was. We spent hours simply looking (or gaping) at the side temples; at the bells; at the many gold Buddhas and disciples; the planetary posts with stations for each day of the week; the incense; the candles; the worshipers and monks; multi-tiered temples; gold gilt and gem encrusted shrines; offerings and prostrations, and the bodhi trees.
We also got our first taste of celebrity status (or so it felt). For the first time during our trip through Myanmar, we were pretty much grabbed by a family and pulled into their family photo. Smiling, pointing, bowing and thank yous. More than once we were stopped to have our photo taken with families, school kids and groups of friends. I had a joyful encounter with a group of monks who exchanged being in my photos for me being in theirs. Much smiling and laughing ensued as we showed each other our shots on the digital screens of our cameras. Some little children shyly stared at us from behind mum's legs. Mum in turn pushed junior out to say hello to the foreigners, encouraging them to say "Hello". More giggles and hand waving with warm greetings of Mingalabar! Those smiles from that first day will always remain in my memory.
As afternoon turned to evening, the scene took on an even more magical atmosphere. The central stupa shone under many spotlights, with the diamond at the top emanating a bright white glow. The many golden Buddhas appeared more shiny and lit up, some with their own halo of 'disco' lights flashing around their serene faces. Even more families and groups arrived to pay their respects. J and I circled three times, taking our time, absorbing it all, stopping to sit and enjoy it all along the way. As the light faded from the sky, a huge thunderstorm threatened near by. Dark clouds were illuminated with lightening bolts and thunder rumbled. You could see the heavy sheets of rain plunging to earth. Looking around, no-one other than us seemed too concerned. J and I were expecting to be soaked at any minute. If nothing else, that spectacular show of nature further enhanced the magnificent temple and made the experience truly amazing.
Of course, what I'm not talking about is poor J lugging my camera pack and tripod around the paya as I constantly stopped to take yet another photo. J has a great eye too and gave me heaps of great ideas for shots along the way. Poor J… We spent maybe 3 or 4 hours there taking it all in. But finally I could see he was getting really anxious and unfortunately needed to have a cigarette. He'd done well doing without for so long, and it was very, very hot so it was probably time to head back to the hotel. But I could have easily stayed for many hours more.
Without a doubt, Shwedagon was (is) spectacular. An absolute must. Even more than what you may read in guide books and travel magazines. This was day one in Myanmar, and it had already become an unforgettable highlight of our journey (of which there were daily highlights). Make sure you allow plenty of time to enjoy, explore and engage fully with the sights, sounds and people if and when you go.

Studio Swine Plays with Plasma to Capture the Sublime at A/D/O
By Zach Andrews - January 29
Old warehouses glancing towards the East River have shifted into artist lofts, cafes and installation studios. Outside these warehouses, surprisingly clean and empty streets vibrate for blocks with the invisible creativity happening behind closed doors. One of these spaces, A/D/O by MINI, recently unveiled the six-month culmination of Studio Swine's residency, an exhibition that investigates the unseen: Wave. Particle. Duplex.
Studio Swine (Super Wide Interdisciplinary New Explorers) is made up of two statuesque faces, Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves. However, the subjects of their work aren't as tangible.
In 2017, they housed an old cinema in Milan with fragile, mist-filled blossoms; in 2018, they praised cyanobacteria–the 3 billion year old friends we have to thank for oxygenic photosynthesis (we breath because they exist). Here, they've given us an installation with two new mediums of work they've named Dawn Particles and Fog Paintings. Heavy research and experimentation with materials have led them repeatedly to form relationships with ephemeral, intangible, invisible or infinitesimal things. Wave. Particle. Duplex. marks Studio Swine's first exploration with plasma.
All New York creatives know the pains it takes to reach the inaccessible G train that leads to Greenpoint. Despite this, A/D/O's co-working space (starting at $375/month) is consistently packed with people willing to make the trek to work there every day. It could be the water, or the café attached to the building, or the access to equipment, or maybe its proximity to installations like this. Maybe a frequency of focus, spawned by magnetized plasma, is giving these kids energies we can't see. Or do they all just live in quiet, clean Greenpoint?
Inside A/D/O, Studio Swine's Fog Paintings swirl grey atmospheres inside backlit vitrines. They diffuse colored light and incase silhouettes that float about in response to the colors. They look like glass windows to a spirit world. Studio Swine says they're homages to the Sublime.
Dawn Particles lack their excitement in photos. On video, red panels light up with mesmerizing movements. But in person–striking hand-blown glass–the magnetized plasmas backed by a series of shifting currents seem to shriek a few sharply-sung odes at the viewer about the nature of unseen particles: "We're loud. We're here. We're always shifting. We affect you. How do you ignore us?"
Inspired by New York City's shifting element–Studio Swine's installation will be on display at A/D/O in Greenpoint, Brooklyn until February 10, 2019. Their Fog Paintings and Dawn Particles may or may not remind you of the Sublime landscapes you've seen or felt or heard in your life, but at the very least, viewers are invited to acknowledge those unseen, often-forgotten energies that are responsible for everything we experience.

I know for a fact that this topic has been covered before but for some reason I can't get it to show up in my search so dont hate...........Anyways I want to know what programs people are using to tag their demo cd's with? I personally am looking for a simple program where I can label each tracks artist and title as well as include my Logo on the album art.
itunes? and burn from there?
There's lots of tagging threads, but none that I can remember for specifically tagging mix CD's. 2nd for iTunes.
Dont have I tunes...I used to just edit in media player in windows but the results sucked....it would really only work if you played the cd in media player. I know people were talking about different programs they used that were almost dedicated to doing this.
Ok if it comes down to it I'll get I-tunes. Just was looking for something simpler since I don't have it and I dont really want it on my pc.
Just cos you download the 75MB file and install it, you don't have to use it as your primary music player. You can just set Windows Media Player (or whatever else you prefer) as your default media player.
Just create a folder somewhere on your PC and put duplicate copies of your mix albums/ep in there and then only import that folder into iTunes. That way, only what you want goes in there and you can tag them all up as you want.
iTunes is by far the easiest programmes to do this. On Mac and PC.
are you taking a giant one track mix and wanna split it up into different tracks so when you burn it they all have the different tracks labled when they come in but still have the transitions and whatnot?
I am. I already split them into seperate files, but I want to to label all of them and include coverart for all of them now. Just installed Itunes and trying to figure it out now. Any tips I should know about?
nah man pretty straight forward. just checking if you had it down to that far before you were gonna label em.
artwork you can drag and drop to a batch of them and do the same thing with any other "simmilar" tracks.


The third edition of the Young3 camp took place in Oakland, California at Boys and Girls Club of Oakland. The turnout was very impressive as 150 kids showed up to the clinic with half of them participating in the 3 on 3 tournament. We saw several extremely competitive games in the 3 on 3 tourney and crowned three new Young3 champions.
Kids were treated to a talk by Ice Cube in which he spoke about the great things that being active does for you. In addition Cube pushed the narrative of 3 on 3 basketball and the fact that it's a great professional option later in life. An abundance of kids took pictures with Ice Cube and were thrilled to have him sign their Young3 jerseys. Commissioner of the Big3, Clyde Drexler also showed up to the Boys and Girls Club of Oakland today and was seen interacting with the kids and even acting as a referee during games. Former Warriors legend, Rick Barry was also in attendance.
Seeing how affected these kids were, I'm positive that one day these young men and women will want to give back to their own communities and make an impact just like Jerome Williams, Desmon Farmer, Erin Thorn and James "Hollywood" Robinson among others have. Calvester R. Stanley also said, "The Young3 Basketball Clinic was a horizon-broadening experience that our kids won't soon forget. The encouragement from Ice Cube, JYD, and Clyde The Glide will generate many returns as our young people continue to learn and grow." Next week The Young3 heads to Detroit, looking to continue to spread their message and inspire more young boys and girls.

Battleship Musashi or on the soft and the hard
Is it a crazy world?
Life in a pendrive
A successful ideology to dissect
—Crazy times, my dear Winnie. Words change so much that we are going to finish not understanding one each other.
—Oh really?
—Now it turns out that in Europe a liberal is a rightist and in the United States a leftish.
—Very leftish indeed, my dear Franklin.
—Man, not so much.
—Not so much? I´ll tell you more, those are the losers.
—Liberals, losers? Which ones, Europeans or Am…?
—Losers. In our times it might have been different, but you must understand this: future belongs to the conservatives, the real winners.
—I see, could you explain that?
—Conservatism victory was forged in the 70s and 80s in our Anglo-Saxon world. The collapse of communism was the definitive accolade.
—But in recent years, the Great Recession, the populisms, even the whole capitalist system is put on the block …
—Ha …
—This cigar makes you choke.
—Capitalism in question? You're clueless, Franklin. If anyone is doing really badly this is traditional progressives.
—Ha! Dou you realize it? Progressive and traditional… simply doesn't fit. Of course, that is why those poor things are confused.
—Go on, drink a little of your Johnnie Walker, Winston. Let's see if your throat clears.
Breath of pure splendor anticipates the grandiloquence.
—We're not in the 30s, my good Franklin. Victory is near. Conservatism triumphs rampant everywhere. In Germany it governs undaunted since 2004; in France it rises over the socialist corpse and prepares the spirit for larger endeavors; in Austria it rides spiritedly on the back of a young leader; in Spain, in the absence of one, there are already two alpha parties, conservatives, of course; In the United States, the decline of middle class and inequality brought us Donald Trump. Change hemisphere and you'll find the same. In Japan, the lost decades of deflation have brought nothing but the return of the liberal democratic party, the deep-rooted lifelong party, and Premier Shimzo Abe visits the Yasukuni Shrine. China protests because it says that war criminals are buried there. Oh, China! Egrrr.
The cloud sprouts magnificent from the Havana cigar, a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real.
—Errrr Oh, China! Xi Xinping imposes iron authority and many see already a return to the essences of Mao's time. Communist conservatism, my friend. Curious, isn't it? Communist conservatism, traditional progress. Yes, you're right, Franklin, crazy times.
—And yet. all these conservatisms are not the same. Are you sure all them fit into conservative?
—I don't know. It seems we'll have to see what we mean by conservative; don't you think so?

Two misleading tracks
—Our first inquiry must be the dictionary, Franklin. For the philologists of the conservative RAE of Spain conservative means … "it is said of a person, a party, a government, etc. especially favorable to the continuity in the forms of collective life and adverse to abrupt or radical changes." And my friends from Cambridge tell us that it is "who does not like or distrusts change, especially the sudden and abrupt change." Edmund Burke would sign this and as you surely know Burke is the father …
—I do not agree, Winnie.
—With whom, aim at the dictionary or with Burke?
—With the dictionary and your taxonomist arrogance.
—Now you have it in for the dictionary.
—I think those years of inactivity …
—Oooh, come on. It seems to me you equate conservatism to moderation, though, is Trump a moderate? Is Xi Xinping's authoritarianism soft? You will agree that your assessments raise a reasonable doubt, Winston Leonard Spencer …
—Are you sure, Franklin Delano.?
—Absolutely, and I'll tell you more, words can sound very confusing sometimes. In the paper dictionary, conservationist is very close to conservative, it sounds similar indeed, but conservationist means ecologist.
—Well, nowadays we have right-wing environmentalists too.
—A fellow named Joan Serrat sang the ecological disaster of the sea and wondered «where are the wise and the powerful who name themselves, guess what, conservatives.»
—Conservative, conservationist. A play on words, it is understood.
—What is understood is that dictionary is not enough.
—Thus, we must look elsewhere. If you do not like the arid taxonomy, let's try the supernatural. In my times we said God, Country and King.
—Winston, please.
—Conservative is one who has beliefs, faith. Faith in the hereafter inoculates against the desire for change. From very old conservatism and faith go together. There you have the judgments of God of the Middle Ages, the contemporary religious fervor of the United States that charges against Darwin and the Christmas congratulations of Trump that return to be confessional. And look in Spain.
—Spain?
—Certainly, a special case. They deemed themselves the spiritual reserve of the West and, not happy with that, they spoke of the crusade against the Freemasons, the Jews and the Communists. Besides, in former Spanish pesetas it put «Franco, caudillo de España by the grace of God». Even today they keep that giant cross in El Valle de los Caídos. Definitely, religious equals conservative just as atheist equals progressive, Franklin.
—Naturally, of course … though, some years ago I went to a seminar on Confucius.
Mouth open, the incendiary Havana cigar rolls on the ground.
—The carpet!
Starts another Romeo y Julieta. A gorgeous cloud of filigree comes out.
—It is extinguished already… on the carpet.
—You're going to drown with so much cigar smoke.
—Confucius, the Chinese sage? What has he to do with all this?
—I raised my hand and said just what you said right now.
—Well said then, Franklin.
—«You are very wrong,» the speaker replied.
—Oh, how could he dare?
—«You are a prisoner in a tiny spot of space-time: twentieth-century Spain.»
—But in the pesetas put …
—»Travel, man, travel, travel in time and space and you will see,» he told me.
—And how is that done?
—»In ancient China —he began very calm— dynasties depended on the favor of Heaven, which bears a certain similarity with that of the leader of Spain by the grace of God, but I assure you that depending on the grace of God Heaven is not as good a business as it seems. Belief in the afterlife makes earthly power less absolute, more contingent. After all, you must consider that, if Heaven gets angry, say goodbye to the dynasty. Consequently, they devoted important resources in securing good augurs to interpret eclipses and storms in the convenient way for the ruler. However, omens are risky and the outcome was that dependence on celestial favor meant that in the history of China very few dynasties lasted more than 300 years. However, in Japan, where Heaven matters much less, the imperial family has been in power for more than 2,600 years, which is much closer to… divine eternity. » I would add that this also happens in our lay times.
—But, Franklin!
—Very indeed. Today the well-off finance ruined newspapers and make them say what they want. Many analysts, thinkers and writers who suffer economic hardship will say whatever they are told to say in exchange for a piece of stale bread. Rulers are better off indeed, laypersons of nowadays are more stable than old time believers since they no longer depend on the hazard of the little genie of rain. It was not you who complained of meteorologist's forecasts before battles?
Astonishment is less and the Romeo y Julieta holds in the mouth.
—Interesting, Franklin, interesting.
—You watch movies, Winston?
—I read books and I take Johnnie Walker red label.

—In the film «Chariots of Fire», Scottish runner Eric Liddell does not want to run on Sunday for religious reasons. Neither the Prince of Wales nor the lords convince him, God is above the fatherland and the king. That of «Chariots of Fire» is by the chariot of the prophet Isaiah, the second Isaiah who wrote chapter 40. And I tell you that there is nothing more transgressor than Isaiah 40. «The nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust in the scales (…) Before Him all the nations are as nothing (…) He brings princes to naught and reduces the judges of this world to nothing». Earthly power is not comfortable sharing authority with the hereafter. Religion, not superstition, is a bad ally for immobilism.
The illustrated track
—I see you're hard to convince, Franklin D. Let's go to the illustrated origins of conservatism. Let's go to Edmund Burke, the English thinker who criticized the French Revolution and whom many consider the father of conservatism. He defines conservatism in six points. One, preponderance to freedom versus equality; two, and almost as a corollary, he prefers a small government, which interferes the least in the affairs of the people; in third place is patriotism; in fourth, the rejection of the idea of progress; in the fifth, the elitism and, in the sixth, the acceptance of the established institutions and rules.
—Go on like that, Winnie, you might even convince me.
—If in the American case we dissect the triumphant conservatism of those Reagan, Bush, Krystol or Ted Cruz by this metrics we will find that, surprisingly, this new-minded conservatism only meets the first three points of Burke which, interestingly, are the most attractive and easier to sell. Freedom is more seductive than equality because we all want to be special and to be able to do things our way, it sounds good. Minimum government means less taxes, no need for explanations. As for the homeland, it is also a safe value, flags enjoy a long-lasting appeal. Besides, it is not incidental that American new conservatism disdains the three less attractive points. American new conservatism is not elitist, at least in its manners. Ronald Reagan, George Bush junior or Donald Trump are easygoing. Neither does it reject the idea of progress, far from it, economic growth and long-term welfare have a central role in the proposal. Lastly, it does not comply with the sixth point since, in a certain sense, it is revolutionary. Unfettered wild capitalism abhors castes. Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor and Secretary of State with president Bush was an example for the black minority. The you are worth the money you have relegates nobility, seniority and the Grays to oblivion. From this standpoint, the success of this kind of conservatism is well understood, it only takes those things that sell well.
—Go on like that, Winnie, but hurry up, you'll drown me with this smoke of yours.
—To find a more integral and pure conservatism, an old-time conservatism, you should look at Spain, since it meets the six points of Burke metric as a whole. Poet Antonio Machado defended progress with the tune that «past times never were better». They payed not much attention to him, he died in exile.
—But, Winnie, you must agree that Burke's conservatism metric can be applied to everything that moves, even to ourselves. How well do you qualify as a conservative, Winnie?
—Well, it's not necessary either …
—You do not reject progress and although you're a duke, you like people. Regarding to established ideas, well, you buried many. A three of six, just pass. You're not as conservative as you look, Winnie.
The smoke screen becomes really dense.
—Well, ahem … And your friend Confucius —the Englishman strikes back.
—Here we do not judge anyone, Winnie, it's just a metric.
—No, of course, and… Confucius?
—He draws with the Americans, three out of six. But…
—But what?
—Well, it's precisely the three points Americans do not meet. It is elitist, past was always better and, before taking any action, you always have to look at what was done in the past. It does not put freedom ahead of equality, it doesn't seek for minimum state, and the issue of patriotism goes in a very peculiar way.
—Then, Confucius is the opposite of a neocon, Franklin Delano.
—And are both conservatives.
—Now I'm confused again, Winnie.
—I will drink a little.
—With this smoke, I can't stand anymore.

Here are Stuart A. and Clare B. with their finished IKAT weaving projects. It's a unique weaving and painting process we've been experimenting with in our Art & Craft Workshop.
We painted our plan warps based on sketchbook drawings, then woven the dyed yarn to create fabric.


3. What is new in this workshop? • Overview of different meta-analysis softwares • Meta-analysis functions on MS Excel • Quality effects meta-analysis model • Q index as a safe-guards score • Inverse variance heterogeneity model • DOI plot and LFK index for assessment of publication bias • Overview of the concept of indirect comparison of three- treatment network using the "single closed loop" method.
5. Combining Effect Estimates The drug (x) is being investigated for the treatment of insomnia. Multiple clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of drug (x). Sleeping hours (h): Improvement = Post - Pre There are 10 studies reporting the improvement in sleeping duration with drug (x) in patients with insomnia. How can you combine the results of these studies in one single combined effect estimate?
7. Using the mean average to summarize effect estimates is not correct! The mean average assumes that all studies have the same power (weight) to influence the final effect estimate. This is not correct because studies do not have the same power and are not equal in sample size or population distribution. Why?
10. Why can not werely onsingle high-quality studies? Under the most rigorous study design conditions, a well-planned single study, even if prospective and randomized, rarely provides definitive results, and primary studies tend to overestimate treatment effects. A recent study reported that 32% of a set of studies with at least 1,000 citations were either contradicted by or reported stronger effects than subsequent studies (Ioannidis, 2005). Ioannidis JPA. Why Most Published Research Findings Are False. PLoS Medicine. 2005;2(8):e124. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124.

As the Afghan government and military hastily scramble forces to attempt to retake the northern provincial capital of Kunduz city, the Taliban has claimed that it seized three additional districts in the neighboring province of Takhar.
The Taliban reports cannot be independently confirmed as media reporting in the Afghan north has focused on Kunduz. But in the past, the Taliban has been accurate in its reporting of districts it has taken.
On Sept. 29, as its fighters stormed Kunduz city, the Taliban claimed that its "combatants conquered the district of Ishkamish in northern Takhar province of Afghanistan, seizing the entire control [sic] of the district after an hours-long fighting on Monday."
"[O]ther government and military installations were also damaged, while those stationed in the installations suffered fatal losses," the Taliban claimed.
Today, the Taliban said it "managed to overrun Yangi Qala district center during an armed assault [sic] early morning hours today." Afghan forces abandoned their posts, the Taliban claimed, and the "district admin building, police HQ and other buildings are currently under the control of Mujahideen."
Also today, the Taliban said it "stormed the Bangi district and seized the district's administration buildings. With the district fallen, the enemy ran away leaving vehicles filled with arms and ammo behind as Mujahideen intercepted them."
If the loss of Yangi Qala, Ishkamish, and Bangi districts is confirmed, then it is a clear indication that the Taliban are serious about taking control of not just Kunduz city, but the entire Afghan north. The Taliban are effectively in control of Kunduz province, with only Imam Sahib contested (Khanabad district fell to the Taliban yesterday along with Kunduz). The Taliban are also in control of a handful of districts in Badakhshan and contest several districts in Baghlan.
Updated to include the Taliban's latest claim that it seized Bangi district in Takhar.

mike merlo says:
sounds like a lot of over reacting. Cooler heads will prevail & take this fight to the Taliban. The Taliban will incur significant loses of manpower, material & territory. Thus will end this Summers 'fighting season.' Hopefully the NDS is prepared for what I'm sure they're aware of. Taliban assaults in other parts of Afghanistan designed to sap the strength & attention away from the Offensive to retake Kunduz. And hopefully Uzbeki's, Tajiki's & the Russians are also prepared to responsibly monitor & defend their parts of the borders

We are happy to share progress on Hiram Johnson High School's new athletic field and facility that is expected to open around November 1st.
Construction crews have been working since June 2018 on the site and now are in progress of installing the new synthetic turf soccer/football field and all-weather surface 8-lane track.
Funding for the $5.3 million facility project comes from Measure Q, a $346 million bond measure passed in 2012 with 70 percent voter approval.
After decades of playing on an old field, student athletes at Hiram Johnson High School can finally celebrate the groundbreaking of a new $5.3 million athletic field and facility that will be funded with voter approved bond money.
To celebrate the start of the construction phase, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on Tuesday, June 12, with members of the Sacramento City Unified Board of Education, student athletes at the school, coaches, teachers, parents and community members.
On April 27th, Hiram Johnson's Law Academy coordinator, Michael Washington, hosted the annual Criminal Justice and Legal Careers Pathway Conference. This year, numerous schools and students from across the region came to Sacramento City College to engage with professionals in the law field.
Two Hiram Johnson High School Law Academy students won first and second places in the California Criminal Justice Skills USA competition. Adrian Morales placed first and Jacob Lee placed second. Adrian will advance to the national completion in Louisville, KY scheduled for June 19-23.
Students in Hiram Johnson High School Corporate Business Academy are participants in VITA, or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance.
Johnson has participated in the VITA program since 1997. Since then, Hiram Johnson students have filed thousands of tax returns for our community, putting hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the local economy.
Attention high school seniors: Learn how to apply for financial aid at a Free Cash for College Workshop next week (October 11 at Hiram Johnson and October 12 at Luther Burbank). Please see flyer for times, dates and other SCUSD high school locations throughout the fall.
Hiram Johnson High School students Luck Vuong and Elsa Esperanza are featured in a new Sacramento Kings video about the importance of exercise.
The students are shown playfully interacting with Kings mascot Slamson. The video was posted to the team's Facebook page and shown to fans at a recent game. It was created in partnership with The California Endowment.

The SkillsUSA state championships are competitive events showcasing the best career and technical education students in California. Contests begin locally and continue through the state and on to the national levels.
More than 100 juniors and seniors from four high schools attended the first annual Criminal Justice/Public Safety Career Conference held last week at The Met Sacramento High School.
The students, all enrolled in criminal justice academies, learned about careers offered in more than 20 federal, state, city and county agencies.
Students participating in Hiram Johnson High School's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program prepared tax returns for 150 families during a "Super Site" event on Saturday.
VITA, established in 1997, is a partnership with Hiram Johnson, the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board and the United Way that provides tax help to low-income families. Under the guidance of teachers Marcia McAllister and Jason Dauenhauer, approximately 20 current students and additional former students have been assisting tax filers annually.
Construction Description: Replace stage drapes and rigging in theater.
This is a free or reduced cost program based on family size and income. This option is for families that are working, in school, incapacitated or seeking employment. Families may receive up to 7 hours of child care services based on the parent's documented need.


In the area known as northwestern Iran, lives a historically nomadic group of rug weavers that have been well-recognized in the region for the better part of 500 years. Located principally between the cities of Shiraz and Kerman, the Afshar people established themselves in the area to avoid tribal wars and power struggles occurring during the late 16th century. Upon moving into the Iranian Azerbaijan province, and swearing allegiance to their newly-honored chieftain known as Nader Shah Afshar of Persia, the once diverse group began to identify themselves as the Afshar.
Throughout the centuries, beyond adaptations occurring in both culture and language, the Afshar people have continued the practice of traditional rug weaving to a great degree. It has become one of the primary sources of income among the largely handcraft-oriented populace, offering many artisans a suitable income in the profession. Consequently, there has been a bit of a revival in the amount of articles emanating from the region, enabling collectors who admire their unique artistry to acquire newly-produced tapestries and rugs.
Although the weaving practitioners have been settled for some time, many of the Afshar rugs produced are smaller than others in the Oriental rug class. The Afshar weavers have maintained the practice of crafting carpets that are easily transportable, hearkening back to a long history of travel inside the Central Asian area when only small looms were able to be carried with them.
Highly skilled in the rug-making practice, Afshar weavers commonly utilize time-honored designs, consisting of geometric shapes and medallion motifs backed by ornate floral arrangements, stressing the beauty of their nomadic traditions. Built atop a premium woolen pile, the tightly-woven cotton warps and wefts integrate into the rug body to create a robust carpet, often used for sleeping, religious pieces, or in high-traffic areas of a home.
More than other Persian rugs, Afshar carpets are highly stylized with a variety of engaging shades not often found in other areas. The predominant color schemes incorporate some of the boldest hues available, featuring expertly-dyed cottons in deep reds, rich violets, stunningly dark blues, and ivory. This palette, in combination with the symmetrical application of their design work, produces some of the most stunning Oriental rugs in the marketplace today.

Are the years catching up with you? Feeling not as sprightly these days? Unfortunately, as we age, our feet bear the brunt of the years behind us, and the weight of our bodies, and the years catch up with us, in the form of foot pains and problems with foot health. As we get older, our foot health has more and more to do with our overall well-being… And with the problems people face with foot pain as they get older, they find themselves in situations where foot issues can be debilitating. Even if a person has never had foot issues in the past, decades of standing on your feet changes them, as the natural cushion of padding under the heel and the ball of the foot is lost. The arches in the foot become less flexible, as they become flatter, and the ankles and joints become stiffer, and the whole foot gets longer and wider.
At the office of Dr. Stuto, we have many patients visit us more and more as they get older. Feet issues and age seem to go hand-in-hand, actually. Problems we see often with the elderly are: bunions, calluses and corns, hammertoes, toenail problems, foot problems related to diabetes, heel pain and Charlie-horses, & foot problems associated with arthritis. We even see issues with arch pain, Achilles tendonitis, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, and Morton's neuroma.
The good news is that you don't have to live with foot pain! Dr. Stuto's two convenient Brooklyn locations make it easy to get the help you need. Don't let foot pain keep you from your everyday activities! Since being able to walk easily is such an important component of health, a foot disorder should not stand in your way. Walking is one of the best ways to exercise and keep fit, as you age- never mind the wonderful mental health benefits this action brings, as well. Many foot ailments are easily treatable, and relief is simply a phone call away. Don't let foot problems slow you down, contact Dr. Stuto or request an appointment so he can get you back on your way to a healthy and happy lifestyle!


The Master, and the Art.
"I hope im chosen!" said Olan "He's so intense!" Olan was a boy of 14. He was well built, but not exceptionally so. He carried a crystal white sword, it was like a big deadly diamond. He wore a steel chestplate, with a jacket under it. The sleeves and tail could be seen, and he wore black pants with brown boots. He was at the ancient training grounds of the long forgotten Sergiki-an old race of fiece warriors. Only one was left among the broken race, and he was to train the one who completes his 'tests'. There were at least 150 people of all ages on the destroyed fields. He then looked to his friend and asked "how do you think youll do?"
[OOC] My friend can be one of you guys, it doesnt matter. I would like some one to take his place though. Please.


Our law firm is investigating a potential class action lawsuit on behalf of customers of Spark Energy , Inc. Spark Energy is an independent retail energy services company (ESCO) founded in 1999. Vista Energy operates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Texas. Typically, consumers sign up for a fixed rate plan and at the conclusion of the term they are automatically rolled into a "competitive" variable rate plan.
It has been alleged, however, that Spark Energy's variable rate is anything but competitive and in some cases is significantly higher than the local utility. It is further alleged that the variable rate plan is not directly tied to the market cost of energy.

Q: Is there a way to remove the id column in a subsequent Rails 3 ActiveRecord migration? In Rails 3 ActiveRecord create_table is it possible to include the option :id => false. For example
create_table :posts, :id => false do |t|
...
end

but is it possible to remove the :id column on an existing table in a subsequent up migration?

A: You should be able to remove the column just like any other non-id column:
remove_column :posts, :id

Your Quick Guide to Visiting Myanmar
Yangon Zoo
Have you been thinking of visiting Myanmar? Here's a quick guide with all the info you need to know before you go!
Myanmar is the "Land of Immortality (Amarapura)," "Land of the Gems (Yadanarbon)," and "Golden Land (Suvanabhomi)" all at once. With a complex history and religious sites untouched by tourism, Myanmar reflects an image unlike many other Asian countries.
Myanmar is still as inexpensive as other countries in Southeast Asia. It has some of the cheapest beer in the world, and a good meal can cost as little as a couple of US dollars, so it's possible to travel Myanmar on an extremely tight budget.
I visited for the first time in 2016. After a month ferrying between Japan, China, and Vietnam, I whipped my scooter around the ancient city of Bagan and felt the gloom of the sea wash off of me. Myanmar has an excitement waiting to be kindled.

Quick Tips When Visiting Myanmar
Socially Responsible Travel in Myanmar
My Favorite Experiences in Myanmar
mAKE SURE ATM'S WILL ACCEPT YOUR CARD before traveling
To avoid using your US dollars (which many countries consider rude and are in short supply if you are traveling), make sure you have a card provider that can be used at ATMs in Myanmar. As of my trip in 2016, my MasterCard and Visa would not work on a single ATM in Yangon or Bagan but did work at restaurants.
TRUST YOUR GUT
Myanmar as a country is still advancing and attempting to keep up with the new tourism demands. As a rule, you should avoid all uncooked foods, including salad, ice-cream, and fruits or vegetables you did not wash yourself. But don't skip out on a meal if it means skipping out on hospitality. I had uncooked peanuts given to me as a gift and also sat down to a meal with a family across the street from my hotel in Bagan, and I did not get sick either time. Trust your gut!
Take the bus
Myanmar is the least safe country to fly in (as of my trip in 2016). However, travel by train or bus in Myanmar is comfortable, cheap, and easy. If you plan to leave your destination city on day trips, most hotels and airport kiosks will have bicycle or scooter rental systems that make getting around convenient almost anywhere—even near remote temples in Bagan.
I traveled with two other women Bagan to Yangon, sometimes at night, sometimes by bus, and sometimes in the city alone. There was not a time when I felt unsafe. In general, I always recommend a few precautions like signing up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program if you are a U.S. citizen.
A Buddhist monk I met said, "The Myanmar ('Land of Smiles') are the happiest in the world." Most people are likely to know English, and even more likely to help you. When I lost my bike key in Bagan, the family who owned the hotel I rented from drove me over to look for the key. They even brought their grandmother along so that I would feel safe! I found that this was a perfect example of Myanmar hospitality.
GET TECHy
Download reliable apps for finding directions and translating. I like maps.me and Google Translate, as you can keep the files for languages on your phone without needing to use Wifi or data.
Responsible travel in any country requires conversation, research, and a strong effort to understand the cultural norms and to adhere to them. Myanmar as a country has been frauded with governmental corruption and a fierce military presence. The current situation is tense. As a people, the Myanmar are extremely welcoming and apologetic to tourists. They want you to like their country and enjoy visiting, so that their country can receive some of the benefits of you being there. As a first-time tourist, it's impossible to remember everything, but trying will make a world of difference, and goes a long way in feeling welcome in a foreign country.
understand the history
Myanmar or Burma? A flag of red or with a white star? The new flag, yellow, green, and red stripes beneath a white star, symbolizes unity in Myanmar along with their new constitution (2008). Even the names, Myanmar or Burma, are still open for debate. A monk I met during my 2016 visit asked us to call his country Myanmar, so I do so out of respect for him. Find out which name your hosts prefer and use it.
The people suffered under a military dictatorship and various human rights violations until Myanmar's first openly contested election in twenty-five years, finally freeing Aung San Suu Kyi in November 2015. If you are a guest in Yangon, pass respectfully by the home where she was kept under house arrest.
KNOW THE TEMPLE ETIQUETTE
You won't just see a lot of crimson and orange robes in Myanmar. You'll also see a lot of unwritten rules, although you might not realize it. Cultivate an attitude of respect for the main religion, Buddhism, by first having a working knowledge of Buddhism and second, memorizing these most basic (and important!) rules. Women should not touch male monks, even in a friendly manner. In the tradition of Buddhist faith, you walk around Buddhist pagodas clockwise. Remove your shoes before entering a temple. When entering a temple, be careful not to step on the threshold. Stand when a monk or a nun enters the room and give a slight bow when you greet them. Dressing modestly means covering yourself (yes, even in the tropics). I think of dressing appropriately in another culture like wearing a costume; it's necessary for your performance in another country.
Understand: Young monks and nuns are orphans being cared for by the temple elders themselves. They feed them out of their own alms bowls. A small donation at a temple is not only appropriate but can be a sign of thanks.
be an informed customer
The gem deposits found in Myanmar's northern region have the highest quality jade in the world, but in the "Land of the Gems," gems can hold a dark curse. Why? The gem trade in Myanmar consisting of the mining, distribution, and manufacture is brutal. Most of the gems mined in Myanmar are not cut for use in Myanmar, instead they are transported to other countries. The laborers living around and working at these mines do so in poverty. In fact, the U.S. banned trade in Myanmar jade and rubies in 2013 for the country's human rights violations. An article by The New York Times called rubies from Myanmar blood red beauties.
PROMOTE AUTHENTICITY
Kayan Lahwi women in the mountainous regions of Myanmar and Thailand protected themselves against tiger and snake bites with neck rings and brass neck coils. Once worn for beauty and cultural identity, many Kayan Lahwi women now wear the neck rings for tourists. Especially around the temples in Bagan, these women will ask you to pay them to take their photograph. Don't stare. As a traveler and not a tourist, you are an ambassador of your country. How you act, what you like, and how you vocalize that can be very influential (for good or bad). As always, ask before you take a photo of someone or their property.
SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISANS
The markets in Myanmar are a source of income for a large part of the population. In Yangon, everything from local produce to handicrafts and clothes to gems are sold. Buying from local artists in Myanmar supports cultural heritage, and ensures the preservation of things like lotus weaving, sand painting, and lacquerware that are Myanmar art icons. Myanmar has many beautiful arts, and artists throughout the country are continuing traditional arts forms hundreds of years old.
Myanmar is a relatively small country, and the train system allows you to travel it quickly. Myanmar has a lot to offer, however, and each region has a different reason for you to visit. You can see all of the top destinations in just a one-week or two-week trip, but to really understand someone, you want to spend as much time with them as possible, and by knowing them intimately, you'll love them deeply. It's the same with visiting Myanmar or any other country.

Sauce bourguignonne (; ) is a French sauce with a base of red wine with onions or shallots, a bouquet garni (parsley, thyme and bay leaf), reduced, strained, and mixed with some espagnole sauce. Just before serving it is mounted with  butter and seasoned lightly with cayenne pepper. Like all red wine sauces, it may have some mushrooms added during cooking to enrich the flavour.

When the sauce is used to accompany sautéed meat or poultry, it is made directly in the sauté pan in which these items were cooked. The onions or shallots are sautéed in the pan and the red wine is added which is used to dissolve and incorporate the residue from the cooking of the meat.  The onions may also be cooked at the same time as the meat.

MILLTOWN 30
This month it will be 30 years since the final game was played at Rovers' spiritual home of Glenmalure Park, Milltown. The opponents on that sad day in the club's history were Sligo Rovers. During the week of our next home game on Good Friday, as it happens also against Sligo Rovers, we will be holding a number of events to mark the 30th of anniversary of the last game played at Milltown on April 12th 1987.
The list of events is as follows:
Dinner and entertainment
The highlight of the Milltown 30 commemoration will be a special dinner event before the game versus Sligo Rovers on Good Friday, April 14th. We will be joined for the event by players from the team that took to the field for the final game in 1987. As well as live entertainment, we will hear memories of events that day and of the time that followed. The cost of the 3-course dinner including a welcome drink is €30. The event will commence at 18:00. Full bar available.
As we expect this event to be very popular, bookings are reserved for club members up to Saturday at 18:00, with season ticket holders able to book after this cut- off. Individual or table bookings can be made by contacting the club on 01-4605948 or events@shamrockrovers.ie.
Commemorative walk from Glenmalure to Tallaght
On Good Friday, April 14th we will hold a commemorative walk from the Glenmalure Monument outside the old ground in Milltown to our new home in Tallaght Stadium. The walk will commence at 17.00 with expected arrival in Tallaght at 18.30. If there is demand, we will be running a courtesy bus from the stadium to the monument so that people can leave their cars at the ground. If you are interested in availing of this courtesy bus, please advise so that we can arrange accordingly. All participants will receive a commemorative badge as well as light refreshments on arrival.
We will have a photo exhibition displaying nostalgic images of the team and from that time back in 1987. Prints of many of these photos will also be available to purchase. Perhaps YOU have a photo or two in your personal collection at home? If so, we would love to reproduce them and include them in the exhibition with your permission and acknowledgement.
Jersey display
We will have a display of the various team jerseys from the 1980's.
Memorabilia display
There will be a display of badges and other memorabilia from the period. While we already have a number of such items, we would love your help in making this a memorable display.

Collection, preservation, documentation & digitisation of ethnic recordings made in India in the acoustic recording process on shellac 78rpm gramophone records (EAP796)
Project team: (L-R) Ms Manju, Mr Shibu, Mr Mathews and Mr Kunnelpurayidom, with shellac records stored in the archive
Gramophone records were introduced in India in 1902 and many short-lived Indian and foreign companies made recordings. During this period India was divided among small Princely states and British India with the culture and music of each tiny kingdom differing from one another. According to the report of the Linguistic Survey of India conducted from 1898 to 1928, there were 179 languages and 544 dialects in India. This project will preserve, digitise and document ethnic audio recordings currently not generally available to the public. These recordings are on highly brittle and perishable shellac records which are 88 to 113 years old.
Recordings made during the first quarter of the 20th century were made without using electricity. The singers of this period had to sing loudly into the horn of the gramophone recorder to make a satisfactory recording. Since the recording artists in this period were known only locally and not all over the country due to linguistic and cultural differences, very few copies of each record were released at that time. Only a few recordings by successful artists were reissued. These records were manufactured using Shellac. Considering the cost of the shellac, when new records were released, companies had a policy of buying back old records from the consumer in exchange for a discount on new records. As such, most of the records made during this period were lost or endangered even at that time. The present generation has little interest in these old recordings and most of the remaining records are left to perish in the cellars and attics of old buildings and sometimes appear in local markets.
A major portion of the remaining records are in the collections of individual collectors. The majority of these collectors are elderly and very few youngsters are interested in these records. Hence records with these collectors are at risk of being sold off at markets. Since there are few takers for these very old recordings made before the popular culture era, old goods sellers take little care in dealing with these rare records. It is high time to conserve these valuable treasures of the past and make them available to those interested: scholars, researchers, and music lovers.
Most of the female singers from South India during this period were 'Devadasis' attached to the local temple and most of the songs by them are the praises of the deity of the temple to which they belonged. Most of the male singers from South India were actors from the local drama troupes which enacted musical dramas. The Devadasi system and musical dramas no longer exist. North Indian female singers were mainly dancing girls. Artists of musical dramas and many hindusthani classical singers sang for recording. Since most of the singers of this period were by mostly unknown artists, these recordings were rarely reissued. Most of the singers were not alive when the recording system entered the electrical recording era. So reissues of old recordings were rarely done. The quality of these acoustic recordings is inferior to electrically recorded ones. So, when electrical recordings came, people lost interest in the old recordings and did not care for these old recordings. Every record found now may be the only remaining copy and needs to be preserved.
The following types of content are commonly found in these records:
Carnatic music (South Indian Classical) - vocal and instrumental
Hindusthani music (North Indian classical) - vocal and instrumental
Imitations, comics, and many local art forms
Abridged forms of musical dramas
The following gramophone record companies had record pressing units in India during the acoustic recording period:
The Wellington Cycle Co. Bombay (1905 to 1907)
The Binapani Recording Co. Calcutta (1908 to 1909)
The Gramophone Co. Calcutta (from 1908)
The Kamala recording Co. Calcutta (1909)
Valabhdas Runchordas & Co. Bombay.(1914)
Record pressing for companies under the control of Carl Lindström AG and The Gramophone Co. were done in Germany until 1908. Records of Pathé were pressed in France.
During this period labels such as Pathé, Beka, Sun, Odeon, James Opera, Ramagraph, Singer, Lyrophone, Viel-o-phone, Heywa, Elephone and various labels of the Gramophone Company like Gramophone Record, Gramophone Concert Record, Gramophone Monarch Record, Zonophone, Cinch, Twin, His Master's Voice etc were present in India.
Approximately 20,000 recordings were issued on more than 10,000 shellac records. Records were initially released as single side in 7, 10 and 12 inch diameter sizes. From 1908 onwards, double sided records became the norm. It is assessed that around 1,000 records issued between 1902 and 1927 have survived and are highly endangered.
More than 2,000 audio files will be created, together with scanned image files of the record labels. Copies will be deposited with several institutions, universities and libraries within India and with the British Library.
The following report has been produced as part of the project outcomes.

Q: "Filter volume has an unconnected output" FFMPEG I've looked at other posts about this but none of the flags seem to work with mine. Here is part of the bash script that runs the command and re-runs the script when there's an error, like when it disconnects.
cmd="ffmpeg \
    -stream_loop -1 -re -thread_queue_size 256 -i "$VIDEO" \
    -stream_loop -1 -re -thread_queue_size 256 -i "$AUDIO" \
    -re -thread_queue_size 256 -i "$AUDIO" \
    -filter_complex \
    "[1:a]volume=0.0[a1]; \
    [aout]" -map 0:v:0 -map "[aout]" \
    -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset $QUAL -r $FPS -g $(($FPS * 2)) -b:>
    -acodec aac -ac 2 -ar 44100 -threads 0 -b:a $AB \
    -f flv -rtmp_live live $URL/$KEY"

until $cmd ; do
        echo "restarting ffmpeg command..."
        sleep 2
done

Then it keeps restarting when I run the bash script with the error
