Edit these variables in the config file and leave everything else with the default value.
I followed the tutorial step by step too and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
This is related to the version 2.3.5 that comes with Debian/Wheezy.

Thanks for the howto, helped a lot!
Thank's Writer & Sam, It's tutorial running well using my tiny machine Raspberry Pi 2 under rasbian wheezy.


Android has supported notches and other screen cutouts since Android Pie, but they never appeared in screenshots. The cutouts themselves are physical holes in the display, so it makes sense they weren't presented in the software. For whatever reason, notches are now front and center in Android Q screenshots, as well as screen corners.
This might be a Pixel-specific change in Android Q, but since the beta is only available on Google's phones, we can't be sure yet. Screenshots from the 2016 Pixel and Pixel XL look identical to before, since they don't have rounded screen corners or notches.
The new screenshots give a more accurate representation of what the display looks like, but they're not pretty.

Invent new ways for your commitments to unfold.
"There is never, ever, anything wrong," and "Anything is possible!" my coach Joe Rink barked repeatedly during the Fall 2013 Introduction Leaders Program. This was my first time leading the Introduction Leader Program classroom in Jamaica. It was a grueling eight-month experience, hazardous to my identity, as it constantly looked like I was failing. In hindsight, it was a daring feat, exhilarating, enlivening and an adventure to behold!
What if it were true though? What if—in embarking on a quest for the fulfillment of an impossible outcome—there was "nothing wrong"? And, if it were indeed possible, then what?
Sitting with those questions, I was confronted with a rapid series of other questions: Am I willing to have my commitments fulfilled in the world? What if my commitments were fulfilled independent of my work, my insight, my planning? What if others happened upon a way to produce the same outcome—others who I may not like very much or agree with at all fundamentally? Would I even notice? I found myself oddly saying "no." But, who then would I need to be to allow this to happen? Do I need to have only my hand in the accomplishment of my promise, my commitments? If not, then how would I be participating in the world? On what might my attention be focused that my attention has not been focused? What new possibilities for fulfillment might be forged in my listening?
If you are at work on a commitment for the world, you are dealing with communication of your commitment with people of many different faiths, nationalities, beliefs. And you are most likely using multiple platforms to communicate, including social media. While we strive to increase interest in and membership into our commitments, often our communication unknowingly alienates large swaths of humanity.
In two hours with Seamus Ford, Landmark's Global Internet and Social Media Manager, we will address communication, with a focus on social media that calls for action, while being inclusive of all people, everywhere.

Dove award-nominated singer Jonathan McReynolds recently opened up about the pressure of fame and how it differs for gospel artists compared with that of secular artists.
Hot off of his impressive performance at the 30th annual Stellar Awards earlier this month, the 25-year-old Chicago native is reeling in the success of his brand new track "Pressure," which recently landed at #2 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel Charts.
In addition to his music success and touring around the country, McReynolds continues to make his mark on the gospel music industry and recently launched his very own APP. He's gearing up to release his sophomore album in Sept. and he graduates with a Master's in Applied Biblical Studies from the Moody Bible Institute on May 16th.
Three years after launching his singing career, the acclaimed gospel star's fanbase runs global and it continues to grow rapidly (fans include the likes of Grammy award-winning singer India Arie).
He recently took time out of his busy schedule to sit down for a candid chat with The Christian Post, in which he discussed The Stellar Awards, ministering with Rev. Billy Graham's daughter at a Louisiana prison and growing up fatherless.
The Christian Post: Last month you performed your brand new track "Pressure" at the Stellar Awards – what was a highlight for you?
Jonathan McReynolds: Well its always an honor and a scary experience to sing new music … that was probably the second or third time that I ever performed it live but it was amazing that people related to it. Of course I had fun with it. I think it's such a timely and relevant message for where I am in my life right now and I'm just grateful that other people feel the same way.
CP: The song talks about peer pressure and defying expectation, what are some pressures that you face as a young Gospel artist?
JM: Well, we have plenty of pressures. We have the pressure to succeed to a certain level. You have peers that are doing so well, or some peers that are not doing so well and whether you like it or not you are constantly being compared to them. And of course you have the church pressures ... Gospel artists have to do something that secular artists don't always have to do and that's kind of abide by and reflect a certain set of values and morals. So everything that we do, every decision that we make, every picture that we take has a different weight on it. It's always interesting in balancing being an artist but being a minister as well. And so all of that goes into the song and goes into my mindset while writing that song, so there's tons of external and internal pressures that we deal with but live for God and you'll be alright.
CP: The song landed at #2 on iTunes Christian/Gospel Charts. Why do you think the song is resonating with so many people?
JM: I hope it's why any other song that I wrote relates to them and that it's transparent, it's genuine, it's an actual experience for Christians. This is not music that I just kind of make up and imagine or fantasize about, its like a diary/journal to music. So I pray that when people hear it, they say at the very least 'man I'm glad that someone else feels that way too.
CP: What was is like ministering to inmates Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola?
JM: I went down there with Ruth Graham, whose Billy Graham's daughter, who is an incredible evangelist and an incredible speaker. Her and I clicked so well when we ministered together last year because she's extremely transparent ... I mean she will give it to you the way it is. She doesn't mind using her life as a witness, the good and bad parts, so this was an incredible invitation that I got from her to go down to Angola with her. Then it was an incredible experience to see the transformation that God's presence can have first hand in what people think is the lowest part of society - it was just incredible. The men, you forget that they were convicts, you forget that they were convicted of such crazy crimes because they truly have let God into their lives and they walk with a southern peace and joy and confidence that I admire even being a free person.
CP: You were raised by a single Mom and you grew up in the church. How did growing up without a father affect you emotionally?
JM: I think for most guys, when we grow up we're trying to establish what being a man means to us and so I think it's pretty helpful and beneficial when there's a role model in the house. But I was grateful to have plenty of role models outside of the house such as my pastor, my uncles, my godparents. My mother is a very churchgoing woman, a biblically minded person. So I was even raised by the characters in the bible as well. So of course it can affect you emotionally but so can a Christian upbringing.
CP: What was it like working with acclaimed music producer Warryn Campbell on your lead single "Gotta Have You?"
JM: It was incredible, he's a legend, he's absolutely a machine. I didnt know how he was going to do it and he just did it with great ease and quickness. That song, we were able to put it together very quickly. It was the quickest, easiest song I've ever done in my entire life … the process was quicker than any process I've ever had. I've heard many artists say that sometimes the song that takes the littlest amount of time are sometimes the best songs you ever do. It was very fun and a great, creative experience and great to learn from the best.

In this note we are going to install the Ganglia monitoring system on a Virtual Cluster.
Gangila was initially developed at UBerkley. Is free software. It scales to multiple nodes and multiple clusters. Oreilly has a book on it.
Ganglia consists of three different services gmond, gmetad and gweb.
lightweight process that monitors system ressources and broadcast them on the local subnet. Also it receives broadcast messages from the neihbouring nodes and makes them accessible for polling by gmetad. It is important to note, that only the current state is rembered by the gmond instances and no historical data.
Service that aggregates status information from multiple clusters. Per cluster it is sufficient to poll one gmond instance, since the state is shared among the nodes.
web dashboard for gmetad nodes.
Gathers data from local system on an independent schedule.
Implication: System does not rely on external polling. Many independent poller can queery the cluster. E.g. gmond-zeromq publishes data on zmq bus.
Can be extended to report metrics provided by scripts in any language. Especially easy: C, C++, Python. gmetric tool provided.
Polls the gmond daemons for data.
You should see an XML dump of the metrics in your terminal window.
it should respond with an XML representing the state of all connected nodes (i.e. none).
Ganglia uses multicast channels to connect different gmond daemons with each other.
Now, you should be able to open the webfrontend by opening the url: http://localhost/ganglia on your host machine.
and you should be able to see two virtual machines in the web frontend.
There are two different ways to extend ganglia by customized metrics.
It does not, however, allow the repeated execution of a specific script scheduled by the gmond daemon but has to be triggered by an extrenal process like cron.
appears next to it, then something went wrong.
In my case cron was using a different shell (dash) and the path variable did not contain the current directory ("."). Therefore environment variables (like $RANDOM) were not working as intended and I as not able to run scripts in my home directory directly.
redirect output to a log file by appending 2>&1 >> ~/cron.log to the crontab line.
echo `date` "- executing ganglia-metrics.sh"
Note, that the script uses a shebang '#!' in order to be executed by the bash shell.
More examples can be found on github. See https://github.com/vvuksan/ganglia-misc/tree/master/gmetric-python for a python implementation of gmetric.
Ganglia can be extended by python modules. In contrast to the gmetric method explained before, these python modules are executed by gmond and do not have to be scheduled by a cron job.
to verify the module is loaded correctly. (You shoud see loaded module: python_module at the beginnig followed by no error messages).
Check that everything was is working fine by running, e.g.
Start gmond again and you should see disk_free metrics in the web interface.
"""Return a value for the requested metric"""
Now add the python module to gmond configuration using e.g.

In response to the upcoming budget debate and the resulting impact on new farm legislation, the NCC Board of Directors has adopted an NCC farm policy statement.
The National Cotton Council believes that sound farm policy is essential to the economic viability of the cotton industry. The combination of the marketing loan, Direct Payments (DP) and Counter-cyclical Payments (CCP), as structured in the 2008 Farm Bill, has served the cotton industry extraordinarily well and, in recent years, has required minimal federal outlays.
However, it is clear that future deficit reduction efforts will place unprecedented pressure on the existing structure. The Budget Control Act reinforces the severe funding constraints facing not only U.S. cotton, but all of agriculture. Deficit reduction will lower the baseline funds available to upland cotton, and simply downsizing the current program structure would likely undermine the effectiveness of the programs to the extent that alternatives must be evaluated to ensure growers have access to the most effective safety net.
The cotton industry faces another unique challenge. As part of developing new farm legislation, the U.S. cotton industry must work with Congress and the Administration to resolve the longstanding Brazil WTO case and remove the threat of imminent retaliation against exports of U.S. goods, services and intellectual property.
In order to respond to the challenge of designing the most effective safety net with reduced funding, and to make modifications that will lead to the resolution of the Brazil case, the industry recommends an adjustment to the current program, which will result in strengthening growers' ability to manage risk by making an affordable revenue-based crop insurance program available for purchase. By making modest enhancements to existing products, the program would provide an effective tool for growers to manage that portion of their risks for which affordable options are not currently available.
The revenue-based crop insurance safety net would be complemented by a modified marketing loan that is adjusted to satisfy the Brazil WTO case. In the opinion of the U.S. cotton industry, this structure will best utilize reduced budget resources, respond to public criticism by directing benefits to growers who suffer losses resulting from factors beyond their control, and build on existing crop insurance program, thus ensuring there is no duplication and offering the potential for program simplification.
The industry also believes the revisions will provide confidence to lenders and ensure market-oriented production decisions that ultimately serve the long-term financial health of merchandizers, processors, related businesses and rural economies.


Whenever Nebraska is mentioned, typically what comes to mind is Corn Huskers football, beef cattle, and the fact that within the state lies America's "breadbasket." All are correct. However -- and this is a big however -- there are nooks and crannies in western Nebraska that typically fall under the radar when it comes to understanding the history of the Old West and who we are as Americans. From North Platte to Ogallala, from Scottsbluff to Alliance, along with Crawford and Chadron in the northwest corner of the state are towns that for the most part go undiscovered, where the legacy of the Old West is as rich as the soil is black and fertile. Here, friendly, down-to-earth folks live; to-die-for food is served in abundance; lodging spans the comfort zone from rustic to pure luxury; and the fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation make western Nebraska a destination to be discovered.
A midsize SUV Toyota RAV4 AWD, powered by a 3.0-liter V-6 coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission served as transportation for this journey into history. The RAV4 yields uncompromised luxury and comfort for this vehicle class, and over the 1700 miles to be covered, its excellent fuel economy (29.5 mpg) makes it a perfect fit for anyone's budget. Had we wanted, we could've towed a 1500-pound camping trailer and enjoyed the many pristine campgrounds that lace Western Nebraska. We programmed our GPS and took off for adventure.

A good place to begin is in North Platte at Buffalo Bill Cody's Scout's Rest Ranch. This is the headquarters of Cody's Wild West Show, which was the genesis of today's modern rodeo. Built in the 1880s, Buffalo Bill's home is furnished with his belongings, and the house looks as though the legendary showman has just stepped out for a sarsaparilla. The walls are covered with original photos that chronicle his early days as a scout with the U.S. Army, the Indian Wars (1876-1890), his family and personal life, and the Wild West Shows he took around the world.
Another important stop in North Platte is the World War II Service Men's canteen located inside the North Platte depot. Started by local women two weeks after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the canteen hosted 6 million troops transported by railroad across the United States during the war. Stopping here while the locomotive was being filled with water and coal, the servicemen were treated to cake, coffee, milk, and sandwiches. The canteen handled troops from a dozen trains a day and was open seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, until the spring of 1946. All of western Nebraska participated in this effort, with families donating part of their monthly sugar ration for the pastries.
North Platte also hosts the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center. Every Union Pacific railcar crossing the U.S. today is separated one at a time and sent to where it needs to go. It's done using elevated rail beds (one end is higher or lower than the other end) and gravity is the source of locomotion with computers keeping track of every railcar. Railcars and diesel locomotives also are serviced and reconditioned here. An elevator takes visitors several hundred feet up to the museum's observation tower for a bird's-eye view of the operation. You can see a presention of the history of the railroad during the last 150 years, including the "orphan trains" that routinely emptied Eastern cities of children living on the streets and gave them out for adoption to families across America who needed labor. Brothers and sister and even twins were often split up, never to find out what happened to their siblings.
Ogallala, a town minutes west of North Platte on Highway 30 (the old Lincoln Highway), was one of the first towns at the end of the trail where Texas longhorns were driven north and shipped back east before the railroad reached Abilene, Texas, and Dodge City, Kansas. Front Street downtown offers a representation of this rich saga. Across the street is the Petrified Wood Gallery (you must check this out), and minutes from the gallery is "boot hill" cemetery.
On Highway 26 northwest of Ogallala are three geologic formations seen by the half-million pioneers who followed the Platte River on their way up the Oregon Trail between 1842 and 1869, when the transcontinental railroad was completed. These rock formations rise hundreds of feet into Nebraska's pastel-blue sky and include Courthouse and Jailhouse Rocks, Chimney Rock, and Scotts Bluff. The pioneers could see these rock formations for days before actually reaching them, giving many the idea that this was the beginning of the Rocky Mountains. Today, it takes just minutes to get from one to the other.
There is speculation as to how and why England's Stonehenge was built. Some think it's a solar calendar, while others argue it's something else. A mile outside the town of Alliance, there's a similar-looking formation called Carhenge. Like Stonehenge, it's built in a circular configuration, but rather than stones, full-size 1940s, '50s, and '60s trucks and cars protrude from the ground straight up or at angles. Other vehicles serve as bridges connecting those sticking out of the ground, while others are cantilevered off the ends of those poking at the sky. It's a strange, surreal creation in the middle of nowhere. All the cars are painted gray for a stone-like effect.
In the very northwest corner of the state, near the town of Crawford, several destinations call for a stay of at least a couple of days. One is Fort Robinson, where Sioux Chief Crazy Horse was killed after he surrendered to the U.S. Army. Today the original fort is a state park offering overnight lodging and a bunch of fun things to do. You can stay in the old officer's quarters or in the enlisted barracks. The lodge dining room menu features home-raised buffalo. Horseback riding and stagecoach rides are offered. The fort's museum provides a no holds barred presentation of the Indian Wars, giving both sides of what took place in the West up until the 1890s when Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were murdered.
The High Plains Homestead, a guest ranch near Crawford, has private cabins and an old saloon, and some of the best ranch fixin's anywhere. Mike and Linda Kesselring brought in old buildings from old towns, ranches, and homesteads that had been left to the elements, restored them, and recreated an Old West town. Drive out for dinner or stay a couple of nights.
On Highway 20 is the Museum of the Fur Trade. This is the epicenter for research on the history of the fur trappers and traders out West from the mid-1700s until the 1840s. It has the largest collection of antique rifles anywhere, along with thousands of square feet of exhibits that tell the fur trade story.
Further east in Chadron is the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center, where a museum and permanent exhibition is devoted to this Nebraska author. She wrote extensively and intimately about her Swiss immigrant family and their 1890s pioneer experiences. Sandoz describes the struggles of everyday life on the prairie where, on a scale of 1 to 10, pleasures were often lower than a zero.
Her stories capture the pervasive loneliness on what was an empty plain, the effects the never-ending wind had on an individual's sanity, and how the absolutely treeless landscape affected the human spirit. My, how things have changed!

Since we are still in the month of January, I'm making sure I stay focused on all the resolutions I have made for myself this year. For anyone who has been following me on social media, you know that 2018 was a big weight loss year goal for me after baby number three. I was so fortunate to have partnered with Ladyboss for my journey. Ladyboss is an app that provides you with healthy meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks six days a week! I love that this app gives you Saturday's off, so you can have a cheat day. For me, being allowed to have whatever I want on Saturday's helps keep my cravings in check and stay on track for the rest of the week. I never feel like I am depriving myself of anything which makes me less frustrated than previous diets I've tried. By following the Ladyboss meal plan and workouts, I've lost 26 pounds and kept the weight off this time! If this app sounds like something you'd like to try (what do you have to lose, besides unwanted weight), you can try it for free here!
Even though I have had a lot of success in keeping the weight off this time, I am always trying to be mindful on what other tweaks I can make in my daily routines to live the healthiest life possible. For 2019 I have decided to try swapping out simple every day foods with healthier alternatives. My hope is this will help me maintain my current weight and continue to feel fabulous! Here are some things I am going to try swapping out when cooking.
Instead of sour cream, try using plain Greek yogurt. I haven't been able to tell a difference in taste and it cuts back on some of the unnecessary calories.
Try using Classic Yellow Mustard instead of Mayonnaise. Mustard has ZERO calories!
When making a sandwich or burger, try eating it without the bun or bread. Or, try an open-faced sandwich and only use one piece of bread instead of two.
If you are grabbing peanut butter, try an all-natural one that only has peanuts listed in the ingredients. This will help cut down on a lot of sugar and it still tastes delicious.
Craving pasta? Go for whole wheat pasta or try using a spiralizer to create pasta from veggies!
Where are my ladies who love sweets like me? Ladyboss lean protein powder is an amazing product to have on hand for dessert making! I've used this product to make healthy Reese's shakes and cake balls! This powder was created with ladies in mind and was specially formulated to taste just like cake. It has been a total game changer for me! I have a hard time giving up sweets and with this protein powder, I don't have to. It is truly delicious!
I am also including some links below to some FREE resources that I have come across that provide more healthy swaps and recipes. Also, if you haven't already, please join me in Kylee's Korner Weight Loss group on Facebook. It is a group I created to help us ladies support one another in achieving our goals and being the best versions of ourselves we can be. Let's do this ladies!
The new year is a time to regroup, reenergize, and resolve to make a change. You may have one major goal in mind or a series of smaller ones. There may be new ideas to adopt or old habits to toss out. The truth is, if you're craving more zen in your daily life, here are a few things to try.
Today, many of our affairs are a hundred or a thousand. We say yes to every favor, responsibility, and extra-curricular activity, skyrocketing our stress level and taking time away from the people and things that matter most.
This year, live by the mantra, simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. If this means saying no more than you say yes, do it. If it means missing spring soccer tryouts, that's fine. You will be happier when your accounts fit on your thumb nail than on a mile-long to-do list.
2. Get rid of a bunch of stuff.
This year I am purging my home and my life of all the things that have accumulated over the years. I've found that "stuff" does not bring happiness, and on the contrary, too much of it invites turmoil.
Does someone need this to live?
Does this bring true joy?
Would I be okay if this was gone from my life?
Cartoons may depict meditation as sitting cross-legged, arms outstretched chanting "Hmm, hmm," but there's nothing loony about it. Meditation has been around since around 1500 BCE and everyone from Buddhist monks to modern-day moms can use it to de-stress and live each day with more focus and intention.
Meditation takes many forms. Beginners can meditate for a few minutes, then work up to greater lengths of time; some pros can meditate for hours!
For me, I'm striving for ten minutes of meditation daily, mid-day while the baby naps.
4. Positive affirmations…because you can.
I have the creativity it takes to do this.
This is hard, but I can get through it.
Allow room for simplicity and positivity this year and you'll notice a huge difference.

I have lived the struggle and subsequent blessing of heroin addiction in my immediate family. The heartaches and terror of it could fill volumes. Yet, the blessings and lessons learned are equally numerous. A beautifully restored relationship with my son and God's faithfulness and absolute provision shine through the wreckage even today. God was and is the Peace amidst the pain and suffering.
One life saving provision and blessing for me is the gentle and practical AL-Anon Program. The meeting structure, a safe, complete-acceptance, no-judgement setting, allowed a place to release my terror and trauma so that I experienced firsthand the healing power of sharing an unfiltered story. The "no judgement and no advice policy" allowed The Good Shepherd to be my primary teacher. Hearing others' raw stories (their experience, strength and hope) showed me how dysfunctional my behavior had become. The practical, effective tools instructed me how to move forward in the current and upcoming mine fields. And a strong, experienced sponsor, who walked step by step with me as I set long over-due, difficult boundaries, gently reminded me – "yes, it will likely get harder and could end in early death – that's why you must cling to your Savoir".
It is wise to learn about the addiction-disease much like one would learn about a rare cancer-disease afflicting a family member. I learned my son was ill and he was not out to hurt me.
It is essential to approach all situations, especially those involving sociably unacceptable, and thus shame-ridden, diseases with unconditional love, to lead with deep compassion and a patient, sincere desire to understand and to check my judgement at the door.
God taught me to let go of what others think, worldly trappings and accomplishments and to seek authentic living with Him and others.
He showed me that He would carry me as I set clear, tough boundaries. Boundaries allow a broken relationship to heal.
He taught me that I could not control this disease much less another person. I can control the words I speak to my adult children (and others) so I must choose my words prayerfully and wisely.
I've learned to choose connection and respect over judging, lecturing and preaching; it may provide an opportunity to influence.
I came to understand that when I isolated and withdrew, my shame grew and I got sicker.
He showed me that I had relied on myself for our survival more than Him and that my children had become mini-idols.
Finally, I learned to put my son and his disease in His loving, all-powerful hands and to place it back there when I pick it up and worry.
At this point in my journey, I wish my son had not experienced this horrible struggle. I am grateful for the resulting blessing of being desperate for Jesus. It was in the desperate moments that He sustained me and our relationship deepened. When we call upon the name of our Lord and Savior, when we seek Him, we find Him. And in Him, we find peace, comfort and assurance. Now, I want to help others suffering from the socially unacceptable addiction-disease.

BLANGA: It's Krankschaft!
November 21, 2014 June 19, 2015 / J. Eric Smith
Some years back, English singer-songwriter-guitarist Steve Pond created a brilliant online reminiscence of The Glory Days of British Glam Rock, to which he was a first-hand observer and participant as a music-loving youngster. While he certainly recognized and appreciated the visual and sartorial excesses of the era, he also nailed a key tenet of what made the music itself so special, and I quote him on this topic, below:
[Glam's] main identifying mark wasn't the clothes worn or the name of the singer (Larry Lurex anyone?) but the rhythm of the music. A very basic tribal four on the floor pervades glam rock, sometimes played on the floor tom tom a la Gary Glitter/Suzi Quatro, sometimes the whole band just stomped along on the beat like Slade or T-Rex, but this was rock n' roll, pure and simple.
That same type of stomping mighty tribal beat — amplified by amphetamines — also underscored the work of pioneering space rockers Hawkwind, who at the peak of their powers merged thunderous, monolithic rhythms (courtesy Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister on bass and woefully under-appreciated drummer Simon King) with science fiction storytelling and free-form squalls of synths and horns and guitars, creating a style that's come to be known, in certain musical circles, as BLANGA. (Full disclosure: Steve Pond and I both played long-ago roles in the creation and dissemination of that descriptive musical term, documented here).
While glam largely shifted into the purview of mildly embarrassed nostalgia in the aftermath of the punk cataclysm of 1977, Hawkwind soldier on to this day, still dishing out the BLANGA, still widdling the synths, still in search of space. Steve Pond himself went on to craft a fascinating musical career that orbited between the twin touch poles of Glam and BLANGA, working for many years with erstwhile Hawkwind frontmen Nik Turner (in Inner City Unit) and Robert Calvert, whose Pond-fortified backing band was called Krankschaft. And now, long after Calvert's untimely death in 1988 and a long series of personnel-driven fits and starts (documented in this brilliant Pete Frame-style family tree), 2014 finds the former glam kid and space-rocker fronting a new three-piece incarnation of Krankschaft, and issuing the band's excellent third album, fittingly called Krankschaft Three.
The album's brilliant artwork (courtesy one Dr. Foxon; see example below) explicitly makes the BLANGA connection in an apt onomatopoeia inspired by two fist-fighting robots, and Krankschaft Three should no doubt appeal to the unreformed, badger-loving, caravan-camping crusties at the heart of historic Hawkwind fandom. (I count myself as an honorary member thereof, so that's in no way an insult!) But, oh, there's so much more to this album than just the BLANGA, and I hope that it gets a fair hearing from fans of, as Pond wrote, long ago, "rock n' roll, pure and simple," because this is a shining example of the form, delivered with style and zeal.
Bassist Alex Tsentides and drummer Kevin Walker both make their Krankschaft recording debuts on this disc, and they are a crackerjack rhythm section throughout, driving each song with their propulsive playing, often creating a sense of some sentient perpetual motion machine, hammering against its housing in a display of pure kinetic enthusiasm. Pond serves as quadruple threat here, rocking the guitar riffs, laying on rich layers of synth and sequencer squiggles of all shapes, sorts and sizes, leading his comrades in the shouty singalong choral bits while taking the lead vocal turns on the verses, and penning six of the eight great songs on the album. The trio work fantastically well together, and the clarity and punch of the recording puts you smack in the center of the formidable energy they create, front row for the riffs, middle seat for the melodies, strap in, hold on, blast off!
The two cuts not penned by Pond include a previously-unrecorded Robert Calvert number called "The Day of the Quake" and a reclaimed '70s gem from the long-forgotten Nebula called "Come Fly With Us." These two lost lambs are seamlessly herded into the sonic and lyrical arc of the record, which loosely chronicles the tale of three friends who travel in time from the early '70s to the future, bringing "rock n' roll, pure and simple" with them, much to the dismay of the Engrish-spewing multinational marketing and manufacturing conglomerate, Kranky Corps. For those of you who remember how much fun it was to purchase albums in the '70s to relish all of the posters, stickers, and other swag that fell out once you tore off their shrink-wrap skins, I heartily encourage you to buy a physical copy of this disc, because Krankschaft remember those days fondly, too, and they've been more than generous with the masterpiece graphic design goodies you'll receive in exchange for your hard-earned dosh.
What ultimately makes this record so absolutely successful are the ways that Krankschaft deftly weave disparate elements together in ways that clumsier, less accomplished bands are never likely to achieve. There are crunchy riffs by the bucketful on Krankschaft Three, but they're balanced by equally memorable melodies. There's a well-developed narrative arc that links the songs, but every one of them stands strong alone, completely realized works in their own right. There's evocative, soaring synths sparkling across the open spaces above the dense metronomic rumble of a nuclear-grade power trio magneto. And there are some serious social themes (is it surprising that the three mates from the idealistic '70s find themselves thinking "I hate this future we've been sold?") that are delivered with such a sense of good will and flat-out fun that you just want to put this thing on endless repeat and relive the journey, over and over and over again.
At least that's what I'm doing today. And probably tomorrow, too. And then for some time after that. And then some more. If you're a fan of "rock n' roll, pure and simple," (and who isn't, really?), then you owe it to yourself to strap on your jet back and zip over to the nearest Kranky Corps outlet near you to score a hot-off-the-press copy of Krankschaft Three. We may hate the future we've been sold, but this album celebrates and modernizes the best of our musical past, and that makes the present a much better place to be.

Rakusan did not include the Fan Series in his main sequence numbering. Therefore, the original number used for each of the 36 Series prints has been modified to identify the Fan Series members of its theme. The five different fan silhouette shapes have been here assigned arbitrary numbers 1 through 5. To indicate a fan design these shape designations are added to the 36 Series number separated by a hyphen. 109-4 is the Fan Series design with fan shape 4 in the 109 Eggplant theme. Like all other designs in this series, 109-4 was only produced in a single print run, and few copies are currently documented.
The composition of 109-4 shows a portion of an eggplant with leaves, an open flower, and a few buds but no fruits. Flying from the plant is a long-headed locust. All of the elements are rendered in a loose flowing style with bold lines and solid highlights which works equally well either as ishizuri or in the original sketch.
The large insect is clearly a member of the grasshopper family Acrididae. It is probably the Oriental Long-headed Locust, Acrida cinerea, 精霊飛蝗, しょうりょうばった, ショウリョウバッタ, shouryou-batta, lit. 'spirit-locust', a common Japanese species. Rakusan has used the same sort of insect in several different designs.

Between the two world powers, the USA and China, which each in their own way, and according to their own interests, want to shape the new world order, Europe has a political message of balance and tolerance, which undoubtedly remains the best possible answer to the multitude of challenges. Its problem lies in convincing itself that it must shoulder this responsibility, and to do this it has to be in working order to overcome the divisions.

Are you curious about hypnosis for insomnia? Sleep issues, also known as Insomnia are very common in my private practice and it affects not only adults but children and teens as well. With the pressure of responsibility and expectation in our lives, we constantly have a "to-do" list running through our heads.
For those struggling with sleep issues, it is your subconscious still running that list of "to-do's" in order to help keep you productive or safe.
Since your subconscious mind's job is to protect you in every way, it thinks you need this prompting, even when your conscious mind is ready to call it a day and sleep.
Hypnosis for insomnia is a great way to access your subconscious and understand why it is playing the tape that keeps you awake at night even though you want to sleep.
In the first session we will uncover the belief system operating at your subconscious level and then re-educate it so you can sleep and once again experience a peaceful nights rest.
If you struggle with sleep issues, there is help available to you.
Call Keli Raymond, Clinical Hypnotherapist today and start getting the rest you need.
To schedule an appointment, please call us at (754) 484-4492 or request your consultation here. Sessions are available in person, one-on-one in her Coral Springs, Florida, or Elk Grove, California, offices or online which is equally effective.
At Pathway Hypnotherapy & Intuitive Counseling, LLC. We Are "Improving Lives"….
I had suffered from insomnia for many months, despite trying several homeopathic and sleep hygiene remedies to no avail. I was becoming increasingly frustrated with my dysfunctional sleep pattern and believed that pharmaceuticals would be in my future, even though I knew they weren't the answer to my problem.
Finally, I decided to give hypnosis for insomnia a try. I must admit that I was skeptical that I would benefit from hypnosis, as all previous attempts to remedy my sleep problem were unsuccessful. To my surprise, I was able to achieve a restful night's sleep after two sessions! The reinforcement techniques I learned in my sessions have allowed me to have continued uninterrupted sleep. I now awake generally feeling well-rested and with more energy. Keli's thorough and insightful approach has quickly made me a believer in the benefits of hypnotherapy.

Well, anywhere we went, the bulls wanted to go too. They'd follow us. We'd shoo 'em back to the barn. We tried to outrun 'em, but man they could move. One day, we jumped up on their backs. They didn't care at all. We tried to kind of prod 'em with our knees on one Page 25 side to make 'em turn, and kick 'em with our bare feet to make 'em go. Boy, would they go, as fast as a horse. But sometimes they'd turn and sometimes they wouldn't. One day Uncle Isom saw the problem we was havin'. He told us he had a tool a blacksmith made for him that would put a hole in the bulls' noses.
He pulled away from the man and here he come runnin' as fast as he could. The man tried to call him, but Ring didn't even look back. And that's how I got my first dog. Page 14 Fishin' Story There used to be some fish in the Neches RiverI mean big fish and lots of 'em. Every now and then they'll bite like they used to. But since they put that dam in, fishin' just ain't been no good. River ain't like it was before, neither. It was such clear water back then you could see the bottom five feet down.
He Page 10 just stayed right beside me, watchin'. I made another run at the mule. And then, somethin' happened. I just stopped, mad as I could be. I didn't even think. " That's all I had to say. He was gone and so was the mule. Side by side runnin' full gallop, Ring pulled in beside her front shoulder. Then he jumped, grabbed her nose and pulled her head down between the front legs and turned her a flip. KA-WHUMP! She hit the ground on her back. Ring knowed when to let go. He stepped back and stood there watchin'.


The digital health world recently took a step in the right direction when it comes to supporting access to your health care information. You can now be in charge of both your own and your family's immunizations records in several states through a tool and online resource called MyIR (think "my immunization registry"). You can register yourself and your dependents and access to your official, consolidated immunization records on any device, any time. How great is that? No more calling your doctor's office and asking them to fax your records over. Waiting for snail mail to deliver a copy is a thing of the past. For procrastinators with school paperwork, this is for YOU! With back to school rapidly approaching, now is the time to get your children up to date on their vaccines. And a great time for you to have unfettered access to the records.
If Auto Match can't find an exact match, click State Assisted Registration and follow steps (I had to do this and it was very efficient!).
Need 2 chicken pox shots documented this year. This year, schools are requiring documentation for all children in K-12 fro varicella vaccine. Parents need to make sure the school has the record to prove children have had both doses (given typically at 1 year and 4 year well child check-ups).
The flu vaccine is not required for school, but is safe and essential — flu vaccine is recommended for all children over 6 months of age.
Nasal flu vaccine not recommended this year — only option is the poke, but it's the best bet at protecting your children from influenza!
The HPV vaccine reduces the risk of cancer from HPV for boys and girls. It also reduces the likelihood of getting genital warts and lesions after teens or young women and men becomes sexually active.
All teens benefit: girls & boys receive 3 doses of the HPV vaccine starting at age 11. First dose at age 11 years, a second dose 2 months later, and a third dose at least 6 months after the first dose. If you wait a bit longer, the series doesn't have to be restarted so get in to get the booster if you haven't finished all three shots in the series!
No benefit in waiting! The vaccine is proven more effective at younger ages (age 11 tends to give a more robust immune response than when giving the vaccine in later adolescence). There is no health benefit in waiting in immunize your teens — same pain with the poke but more time a teen could be exposed to HPV.
The Auto Match found me – but then sent a text message to my landline. :-P I guess I'll have to go through the State Assisted Registration.


Grilled vegetable pasta is a nice excuse to get out of the kitchen, so heat up your outdoor grill and get busy! This is a great pasta to make during the hot summer months when fresh vegetables are at their peak. The vegetables themselves are the sauce and because they are cut into chunky pieces this recipe works best with short dried pasta shapes such as rigatoni, fusilli, or penne. I enjoy this pasta as written, but you could also add in some capers, flavorful pitted olives, or a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar.
Grilled vegetable pasta is a nice excuse to get out of the kitchen!
Preheat outdoor gas grill or barbecue, and then grill the tomato, pepper and onion halves over medium heat until browned and tender.
Remove from the heat and coarsely chop.
While the pasta is cooking, mix together the oil, garlic, herbs, and seasonings.
Drain the pasta and add the seasoning mix.
Add the chopped onions, cheese, peppers and tomatoes and cook a minute or two over medium heat until everything is piping hot.
This recipe didn't really work for me, and I'm wondering if it's because British and American cooks understand something different in the word 'grilling'.
I grilled the vegs under my electric grill but the onion didn't cook through, although the tomatoes and peppers were fine.
The recipe says to grill the vegs OVER medium heat. In the UK we would say UNDER medium heat.
So I am thinking maybe the vegs should be cooked in a pan with the heat source underneath it.
Or perhaps the vegs should be roasted in the oven?
I think in the US what we'd call grilling is called broiling.
Sorry, when I said grill, I meant outdoor grill on a gas or charcoal barbecue. You could get similar results by roasting the vegetables in a preheated hot oven, but if using this method I would cut the onions and peppers into bite sized pieces first.


Karate is martial art (fighting style) developed in Japan (more specifically the Japanese Ryukyuan Islands). Unlike many other Japanese fighting styles which were developed for and by the warrior class the Samurai, it was mainly practiced by the farmers and fishermen of the island. Because the government had outlawed the ownership of weapons by any except those born to the noble class, karate was and still does focus on unarmed self defense combat. In more recent times, it has also become popular for its fitness and sport aspects.
Reasons for learning karate differ with every student. Many learn it because it is a proven self defense system, many practice it to improve their health and flexibility. Its a fantastic base style for those who might be hoping to become fighters and go out to compete.
How is Karate different than other martial arts?
Karate generally employs punches, kicks, joint locks, and pressure points from a standing position to fight. It is somewhat less acrobatic than some other popular styles, making it more quickly applicable to those with limited flexibility at its basic level.
What is the sport aspect of Karate?
For a full contact system like the one we teach, there are limited karate only full contact tournaments here in the south. There are however several kick boxing and MMA venues which our karate can prepare any interested students for.
What can I expect in a normal class?
Expect a warm up with a healthy dose of stretching, followed by a short period of calisthenics. Once we are all warm and flexible, we proceed to the day's lesson. We believe in sparring with each class to enforce the lessons learned and to keep techniques realistic.

Q: PDO fetchAll non object Why am I getting the error Fatal error: Call to a member function fetchAll().  I have looked over other issues with the same error but my code seems fine and it seems something to do with $this->$dband the var_dump returns object(PDO)#2 (0) { }

  $cars = new Cars(connection());

  $listAll = $cars->listCars();

        //return $query->fetchAll();

        var_dump($this->db); exit();
    }
}

?>

A: Your query syntax is wrong you didn't put in commas
change
SELECT `id` `rego` `engineSize` `type` `colour` `year` `additionalFeatures` FROM `cars

to
SELECT `id`, `rego`, `engineSize`, `type`, `colour`, `year`, `additionalFeatures` FROM `cars`

You don't even need to prepare in this case, try this:
public function listCars()
{
    $query = "SELECT `id`, `rego`, `engineSize`, `type`, `colour`, `year`, `additionalFeatures` FROM `cars`";
    $stmt = $this->db->query($query);
    if (!$stmt) {

        print_r($this->db->errorInfo());
        exit();
    }
    $rows = $stmt->fetchAll();

    return $rows;
}

A: See if this works. I have never done it the way you are doing it, but if I were going to try, this is what I would attempt...
<?php

        $query->execute();

The Women's Center for Creative Work
Health/Care Film Series: 3 Short Films
Thursday, March 8, 7-10pm
Presented by Emma Ben Ayoun
30 participants maximum
The House is Black (Farrokhzad, 1963)
In My Language (Baggs, 2007)
Voice/Over (Barry, 2007)
These three short films explore disease, disability, marginalization, and expression in very different ways. The House is Black, a 1963 film produced in Iran and directed by Forough Farrokhzad, explores the lives of individuals living and working in a leprosy colony in northern Iran; In My Language, made by American activist and blogger Mel Baggs depicts Baggs' relation to language; and Voice/Over is part of a trilogy made by South African filmmaker and disability rights activist Shelley Barry.
The screening of these films (cw: trauma, images of physical suffering and pain, medical spaces) will be followed by a discussion, moderated by Emma Ben Ayoun. Some guiding questions we may collectively ask include: how can films about bodies that have been construed as physically or developmentally 'other' do justice to the lives and experiences of their subjects, and what can these films teach well or able-bodied folks about the ways we can make the world a safer and more inclusive place? How do disease and disability intersect with other identity categories and genres, and in this context particularly with gender? What is the significance of a filmmaker's subject position, particularly when it comes to documentary? How do these vastly different films offer important, and interconnected, perspectives on film's power as well as its shortcomings as a medium for activism and social change?
Emma Ben Ayoun is currently working on her PhD at the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on the social, medical, and visual implications of "sickness" (as a colloquial, and often pejorative, term) in cinema; she is interested in media that moves beyond reductive or harmful representations of illness, disability, and pain, and allows subjects who have been constituted as "sick" to reclaim and depict their own experiences. She is deeply inspired by scholars in disability studies, gender studies, and critical race studies, all of whom have asked us to reconsider the politics of the normative body and who have also found ways to integrate advocacy, inclusion, and resistance into their academic work. She would love to hear from you.
Heatlh/Care Film Series Screenings:
— Saturday, March 31: Nothing About Us Without Us, a short film program presented by Georgian Badal.
