Saturday, October 30 was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the low 70's. Still in Auburn at Chewacla State Park, we planned another outside game watching, an evening campfire, a hotdog lunch and a beef stew dinner. What a day! Auburn plays Ole Miss tonight in Oxford. On campus, a fall festival is underway with costume contests, pumplin carvings and game watchings, I'm sure. We are quite comfortable right here on our campsite, thank you very much.
Our football game day began with the UT loss to Georgia. The game had been fairly close through the fourth quarter, but didn't hold up for the Vols. It's been a terrible year for them.
The Auburn / Ole Miss game started at 6 p.m. Our campfire was already underway and the sun was setting. The temperature was dropping. The game was good, especially through the first half. Auburn scored several unanswered touchdowns in the second half and won the game by 20 points: 51 to 31.
All college football is talking about Cam Newton, Auburn's quarterback phenom. My concern is that such praise and godly status placed upon this youngster will certainly cause trouble for him. In researching his background today, I learned he was arrested and charged with the theft of a high-priced laptop computer during 2005 when he was at the University of Florida. Tsk-tsk.
In light of this, I won't be asking Santa Claus to bring me Cam Newton pajamas this year. War Eagle.

Der Boxberg ist mit einer Höhe von 76,8 m zwar nicht die höchste Erhebung im Naturpark Aukrug, doch eine der wenigen Moränenkuppen im mittleren Holstein, die die Bezeichnung Berg verdienen. Die Itzespitze ist mit 83,4 m noch höher als der Boxberg gelegen. Auf dem Gelände des Erholungswaldes Boxberg wachsen heute nur wenige Buchen, von denen der "Booksberg" seinen Namen herleitet.

Er ist an der B 430 zwischen den Aukruger Ortsteilen Bucken und Homfeld gelegen. Von seiner Spitze hat der Betrachter einen weiten Blick über die waldreiche Landschaft des Naturparks.

Geschichte
Der Boxberg wurde während der Saale-Kaltzeit (bis vor 120.000 Jahren) von Gletschern aufgeschoben. Der vor allem mit Buchen bewaldete Berg wurde vor Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts fast vollständig abgeholzt. Danach war das Gebiet vorwiegend mit Besenheide bewachsen. Im Laufe der Zeit ist in der Umgebung der Wald wieder vorherrschend, die Heideflächen sind auf etwa 7–8 Hektar zurückgedrängt worden. Der Berg zeigt einen lichten Bestand von vor allem Kiefern und Buchen. Im Jahr 2007 erwarb die gemeinnützige Kurt und Erika Schrobach-Stiftung mit Unterstützung des Landes Schleswig-Holstein das Gebiet.

Naturschutz
Rund 8 ha offene Heidefläche rund um den Boxberg sind als Schutzgebiet im Rahmen der Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie ausgewiesen.

Nutzung
Rund um den Boxberg sind zahlreiche Wander- und Reitwege ausgeschildert. Des Weiteren gibt es einen Fitnesspfad, einen Walderlebnispfad und einen Infopavillon direkt am Berg. Im Winter ist die sogenannte Expressroute-Boxberghöhe eine beliebte Rodelbahn.

Privacy of transactions is an integral component of cryptocurrencies and one of the most important for many users. While Bitcoin is often characterized as an anonymous medium of value transfer by mainstream media outlets, the truth is that Bitcoin is only pseudo anonymous.
The Bitcoin ledger is fully transparent and although user identities are hidden behind alphanumerical addresses, there are ways of tracking and making correlations between addresses and identities. The obfuscation of identities provides a degree of anonymity for users, however, the amounts transferred in each transaction are visible, leaving a certain degree of confidentiality missing.
As a solution to this problem, some privacy-focused cryptocurrencies adopted the use of Confidential Transactions (CTs), which obfuscate the amount transferred in transactions using commitments (specifically Pedersen Commitments) to the amount. Without the public transparency of transferred values when CTs are implemented, verifying that transactions are valid requires the use of range proofs to ensure that the sum of transaction inputs is greater than the sum of transaction outputs as well as that all transaction values are positive.
These range proofs are attached to every transaction and result in much larger transaction sizes that can lead to transactions with multiple outputs needing multiple range proofs, further increasing transaction size, and degrading verification and storage efficiency. Enter bulletproofs.
4 So What Are Bulletproofs?
Praised as an efficient and useful advancement in verifying commitments of CTs, bulletproofs are short, non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that do not require a trusted setup. They are effectively a much more efficient and secure form of range proofs that utilize zero-knowledge proofing methods as seen in zk-SNARKS and STARKs, but do not require the trusted setup as required with zk-SNARKS and are not as large as STARKs. Their application can be beneficial in a variety of different systems and situations, of which many are outlined directly in the academic paper.
Bulletproofs are especially suited for the distributed and trustless nature of blockchains and can create substantial long-term cost savings, enormous space savings, lower fees, and faster verification times than current implementations of range proofs. Before diving into how bulletproofs work though, it is important to understand two terms first, range proofs and zero-knowledge proofs.
Basically, range proofs are a form of commitment validation that allow anyone to verify that a commitment represents an amount within a specified range, without revealing anything else about its value (known as the secret value). For instance, a simple range proof can be used to validate that someone's age is between 28 and 52 years old without actually revealing the exact age of the person.
The key part in regard to bulletproofs is the "linear in n", which means that range proofs scale linearly in size with the number of outputs and bits in the proof's range. The result is that in CTs, the range proofs take up a majority of a transaction's size. Before bulletproofs, this was a large concern as the size of a blockchain of an anonymity-focused cryptocurrency employing CTs, like Monero, grows much faster than a typical cryptocurrency that does not utilize CTs. Eventually, the size of a blockchain utilizing CTs would become very impractical to many users who do not have the requisite disk space to download the entire blockchain, indirectly affecting decentralization of full nodes.
If you're reading this then you've probably heard of zero-knowledge proofs in the cryptocurrency realm before as they represent a very interesting concept that is predicated on some intimidating mathematics. The concept is difficult to grasp, but their implementation combined with the fact that academic institutions are advancing the concept further, as applied to cryptocurrencies, is a very encouraging sign for the industry.
Essentially, a zero-knowledge proof is a method in cryptography where one party can prove to another party that they know the value of a variable y without conveying any other information aside from the fact that they know the value of y.
Traditionally, this implies that the verifier and prover have some form of interaction between them. However, bulletproofs are non-interactive zero-knowledge arguments of knowledge, which are a specific variant of zero-knowledge proofs where no interaction is necessary between the prover and verifier. This enables proving that a committed value is in a specific range by relying on the discrete logarithm assumption and using the Fiat-Shamir heuristic to make them non-interactive.
Back to bulletproofs. As just mentioned, bulletproofs rely on the discrete logarithm assumption for security and use the Fiat-Shamir heuristic in order to become non-interactive. This leads to bulletproofs increasing in size only logarithmically with the number of outputs and size of the range's proof. The result is that the size of transactions that implement CTs can be substantially reduced. Monero states that they have reached an 80% reduction in transaction size utilizing bulletproofs which leads to an 80% reduction in fees as well.
Not only can bulletproofs help to reduce the size of transactions employing CTs, they allow the prover to aggregate multiple range proofs for transactions with multiple outputs into a single, short proof. Instead of transactions with multiple outputs necessitating a range proof for each output, they can all be aggregated into one. Further, validation of bulletproofs is more efficient in not only size, but time. Outside of zk-SNARKS, which verify quicker than bulletproofs, the time to verify a bulletproof is lower than existing range proofs, leading to quicker blockchain validation.
Importantly, bulletproofs do not require a trusted setup. A trusted setup is a controversial one-time setup that is required when using the zero-knowledge proof zk-SNARKS. The issue is that this one-time setup requires that users need to implicitly trust whoever created the keys for the one-time setup to destroy them after they are done, otherwise they can be used to create an unlimited amount of the native token, undetected. Obviously, there are serious concerns with a trusted setup.
The proofs of bulletproofs are much shorter than other range proofs and "allow inputs to be Pedersen commitments to elements of the witness." The resulting implications of them being short, non-interactive zero knowledge proofs enable bulletproofs to be optimized and applied to a variety of situations such as supporting efficient Multi-party computation (MPC) protocols as well as implementing complex, privacy-preserving smart contracts.
Bulletproofs efficiently support a simple MPC protocol that "allows multiple parties with secret committed values to jointly generate a single small range proof for all their values, without revealing their secret values to each other." Essentially, with a complex confidential transaction that has inputs from multiple parties, their proposed MPC protocol would be able to aggregate all of the required proofs into a single, short proof for the entire transaction. The efficiency and savings afforded by this cannot be understated.
The Provisions protocol is an innovation that allows Bitcoin exchanges to prove that they are solvent without revealing any other information. This is an important step in verifying solvency of exchanges otherwise deemed to be untrustworthy and insolvent without the exchanges actually having to open their books to the public. The protocol relies on range proofs "to prevent an exchange from inserting fake accounts with negative balances." These proof sizes are very large and are linear in the number of customers. Bulletproofs represent a natural replacement for the non-interactive zero knowledge proofs used in the Provisions protocol and can reduce the size of overall proof size for the exchange by up to nearly 300 times.
Highly expressive smart contracts in Ethereum are public and do not provide a degree of privacy to the contracts' parameters. Non-interactive zero knowledge proofs have been proposed as a mechanism for privacy within contracts, however, a contract's computation is limited and expensive across the blockchain network. SNARKs are another potential solution but problematically, require a trusted setup. You can see where this is going. Bulletproofs, being short proofs that do not require a trusted setup are a great fit for the role of privacy preservation within expressive smart contracts. Although as a straight drop-in, bulletproofs are not cheap in this regard, in combination with an incentive delegation model, the validity of a proof does not need to be performed unless a party challenges its verification. Parties presenting faulty challenges will be punished, and further, this design can be supported with efficient multi-party computation.
Bulletproofs are an important and widely applicable innovation in an important field of research of zero-knowledge proofs and other protocols used to secure and obfuscate transaction amounts. The inherent tradeoff with confidential transactions has been their larger size. With bulletproofs, the opportunity to significantly reduce this tradeoff while preserving privacy and security is a major step forward.
As more emphasis is placed on the underlying protocols used to secure transactions and provide anonymity, it will be fascinating to watch how academia responds and continues to evolve technologies on the bleeding edge of a field that is already at the forefront of innovation.


I've spent the past few weeks traveling and working in Israel. I've spoken with students, designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors and even dignitaries from Nairobi about the importance of design. Below are some insights and ideas this trip has helped crystalize. I would love for you to build on these ideas and add your comments below.
I was lucky enough to meet with two entrepreneurs turned politicians in Israel — the Education Minister, Naftali Bennett and the mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat. Bennett started a security startup that he sold in 2005 and Barkat was a founder of an antivirus software company as well as a successful angel investor. We spoke about ways the government could bring in design and technology, be data-informed, iterate on what's working, and even use MOOCs to supplement teaching shortages. We also discussed where the private sector was better suited to tackle problems and how they could best work with the private sector.
What if more politicians had tech/entrepreneurial backgrounds?
Would we have better ways to interact with our government and our cities? Could government be more experimental? Leaner? More progressive? Having recently had a friend elected as a BART Director I believe more people in tech should consider public service as part of their career path and I'd love to see designers and engineers do more to help them get there.
During one of my talks here in Israel a woman asked me why we don't see better designed products and services in healthcare. I quickly polled the room of 80 designers and engineers — how many of you have domain expertise or know someone who does in healthcare? After a few moments of silence and coughing, three hands went up. I decided to drive the point home — if we want to see better designed healthcare products we need to start by connecting designers and healthcare experts.
Though the response in that room is quite common there are people working on bringing together designers and engineers with domain experts to create change. One platform I particularly love is Code for America, an organization that wants to change how government delivers services. I recently met with a couple companies that started as Code for America projects and even early on their solutions are orders of magnitude better than currently available services which require navigating inefficient bureaucracy and working through outdated processes.
And I believe this is only the beginning. Recognizing that people were naturally forming companies after participating in the program, Code for America has now expanded their platform and built an accelerator and incubator to explicitly support developing great companies. If you're interested in changing the way government works Code for America is a great place to start.
Similarly, design agencies can serve as these types of platforms as well. For example, Omada, a Designer Fund digital therapeutics company that is preventing people from getting diabetes, was created when curious, motivated people within IDEO explored the future of healthcare for a client. How many more great companies would we see if agencies were built to explicitly produce world-changing companies?
Designed to serve designers and engineers with an interest in but little to no domain expertise in their areas of focus.
I believe doing that will enable more designers and engineers to successfully tackle a much broader set of problems like healthcare, education, energy, and government.
In his post Learning from Twitter to Make Medium, Ev Williams talks about three types of product features: definitional features, improvements, and transformations. To build on that, I spoke at Aleph and presented 5 case studies of Transformative Design, design that has had a substantial impact on key company metrics.
The feedback has been extremely positive with many designers asking me where they can see a collection of these case studies. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist. We simply don't have the equivalent of the HBS Case Study repository for the type of product design we want to see more of.
To help address this, Designer Fund will be sharing some of the examples we've collected and we would love to hear from companies and designers who want to contribute to this repository. Let's share our learnings so we can build better designed products and services.
The startup ecosystem in Tel Aviv continues to thrive. There's a blossoming of great companies, people, support organizations, and government support. Interestingly enough, you're also now starting to see a burdgeoning ecosystem one hour east of Tel Aviv, in Jerusalem. The city that many associate with religion, history, and archeology is also quickly becoming a hub for startups and technology. For example, the number of new tech startups per year went from about 10 to over 140 in just a few years.
According to the mayor, this is largely due to making it a city young creatives want to live in by supporting things like city-wide light festivals, creating multi-use public spaces, and aggressively building public transportation.
One Jerusalem-based designer told me that Tel Aviv was too impersonal and that Jerusalem was a more intimate and supportive environment. This same designer a few years ago would have had to leave Israel to find a small and tightly knit startup community. Instead, she was able to stay in Israel and is now a major contributor to the ecosystem in Jerusalem.
I've seen this same strategy work at larger companies as well. By creating smaller groups or even grouping people at other geographic locations they can keep a larger and more diverse set of people. Quite often those smaller groups become pockets for innovation and experimentation. As examples Facebook Lite, Facebook's Analog Lab, and Airbnb's new branding were done employing this strategy. In fact, we even have a name for employing this strategy as individual designers: side projects.
I hope that we continue pushing companies, ecosystems, and ourselves to create nimble spaces for experimentation. Often it is in these pockets where creativity thrives and new ideas are born.
Thanks to Jocelyn Ross, Heather Phillips, and Katie Topper.

Ferrand-Prevot: undeniably the new star of women's cycling
September 29, 2014 megabicicleta	2 Comments
In the end it was just a few pedal strokes too far for Marianne Vos, and the rainbow jersey was seized by one of cycling's most exciting emergent forces, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot.
The Frenchwoman, who at just 22 has been the revelation of the 2014 season, didn't need to be asked twice, and launched herself off the wheel of a fading Vos with 100m to race. It was just enough to hold off a fast finishing Lisa Brennauer and Emma Johansson, with two-time World Champion Giorgia Bronzini a close 4th.
Australia's leader Tiffany Cromwell rode brilliantly to finish 5th.
You could say Ferrand-Prevot relied on an element of luck to catch the elite group of Vos, Lizzie Armitstead, Emma Johansson and Elisa Longo-Borghini, who had broken clear over the final climb of the day.
But in the last two kilometres, the four leaders – all of whom were amongst the pre-race favourites, with the expectation that brings – were more intent on avoiding leading each other out than they were on staying in front of the chasers. It was one for students of game theory: cooperation would have ensured success for one, but certain defeat for whoever cooperated most.
It was not to be. All four soft-pedalled and the second group, driven by the Germans who had two riders present, pulled themselves and (crucially) Ferrand-Prevot back into the race.
This was Ferrand-Prevot's luck, but winning a bike race always relies on an element of it. Her opponents' blackjack games went bust and she played the hand she had. Don't forget she still had to win the sprint against some of the best in the world.
It's not as if her win was a surprise, either. Last week at The Roar I named her as the biggest threat to her Rabo-Liv trade teammate Vos, and if I knew that then you could bet your house that every woman in the race knew.
This year she's won Fleche-Wallonne and Emakumeen Euskal Bira (a four-stage race in the Basque Country, where she also won two stages). She was second overall in the women's Giro, and has only been outside the top 5 in a road race five times this season. One of those was La Course, where she crashed.
Ferrand-Prevot has been around for a few years, and won the World Junior road race title in 2010, but this year she's has raised her results in the pro peloton from top ten or fifteen to being a consistent podium placer, and there's been a sense that there's lots of improvement still to come.
You see, what makes Ferrand-Prevot really interesting is her versatility. She's the French National Champion in the road race and the time trial.
And cyclocross.
And cross-country mountain-biking.
She's a freak. Along with her outstanding road season, she's been racing mountain bikes all year. Three of those national titles were won in a four week period, in July. It's not as if she jumps off the road bike in winter and hits the CX course for some off-season fitness (although she does that, too). Nope, she races road and MTB in parallel, and she plans to continue.
As for Marianne Vos, it was easily her worst result in a World Championships. For whatever reason, it seems that her lack of form in the team time trial had not fully resolved, and she didn't have the legs to dominate as we have seen her do in the past. Perhaps the strength of her team – diminished here by national allegiances and last week's crash – has been even more important this season than we thought.
Vos was able to follow Lizzie Armitstead's vicious attack on the final climb, but she looked laboured doing so, head down and shoulders rocking. In the run to the finish she was hesitant, then seemed to panic when she opened up the sprint more than 300m from the line. It was too early, and she was swept up easily. Probably this is good for the sport, to see that she is human after all.
Before I wind this up, I want to comment on the discussion about whether or not it was a boring race. SBS Cycling Central blogger Anthony Tan lit the fuse, calling it "a three-and-a-half hour advertisement on why we shouldn't watch", retroactively undermining his network's decision to broadcast the race live on SBS One. His argument is that virtually nothing happened until the last two laps, that there was not enough impetuosity, which reflects poorly on women's cycling.
My view is that we've definitely seen more exciting televised racing this season, at La Course and during the Women's Tour (of Britain), but that it's the wrong way to look at it. Of course it's unsurprising that there were no impetuous (a euphemism for tactical suicide?) attacks, given the combination of a challenging parcours and smaller national teams with less depth, that provide fewer tactical options compared to some of the powerful trade teams.
But cherry-picking one conservative race and arguing that it's a reason to stop supporting televised women's racing, especially without really considering why tactics were so, is a sloppy argument.
If you happened to watch the men's race, which had a live-stream for virtually the entire race, you will realise why most TV coverage avoids the boring first two-thirds of most races – it was also a complete snorefest until the last 60km (or 25% of the race) when the Italians decided to rip everyone's legs off (including their own).
Hard courses make riders cautious, which means there will be long periods when the race is left to tick along without much incident. Most times, we never even see the long build-up, because the broadcasters know how unlikely it is to be compelling viewing.
So yes, the women's road race was ridden conservatively until the final stages, but that happened in every road race of the week – singling out one race for special criticism seems unfair to me. If anything, the organisers should be blamed for designing a course that encouraged dull racing. SBS deserves praise for broadcasting the race live. I hope they don't lose their nerve because of a few snarky comments.
We now have a new wearer of the rainbow jersey. She has the ability and image to captivate audiences, and build on the momentum that women's cycling has gathered with the UCI's support this year. A few cheap shots shouldn't muddle that.
Chapeau to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot.
Update: Bridie O'Donnell, who understands and communicates women's racing as well as anyone and better than most, has ripped in with a far more detailed analysis than I have done – go and read it.

Hoeven Working to Keep Critical Infrastructure Projects for Minot Air Force Base on Schedule
Senator Pressing Air Force Officials to Move Forward on Helicopter & Weapons Storage Facilities in Minot
WASHINGTON – At a hearing of the Senate Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Committee this week, Senator John Hoeven pressed Lt. Gen. Warren Barry, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Engineering, and Force Protection (Air Force), to keep critical infrastructure projects for the Minot Air Force Base (MAFB) on schedule, including:
Helicopter Facility – The existing facilities are aging and will not accommodate the MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopters that will replace the Hueys currently deployed in Minot.
Accordingly, Hoeven secured more than $71 million across fiscal years (FY) 2019 and 2020 for a new helicopter facility at MAFB.
Hoeven also provided $194 million in FY2021 to purchase the first eight Grey Wolf helicopters and is pressing Air Force officials to secure the aircraft's FAA certification to keep the program on schedule.
Weapons Generation Facility – The Air Force is currently undertaking a broad effort to construct new, secure and modernized facilities to store and maintain the nation's nuclear weapons.
The senator stressed the critical role of MAFB as the nation's only dual nuclear mission, as well as the high deployment rate of the 5th Bomb Wing for operations in the Korean peninsula and the Middle East.
"As the only dual nuclear base in the country, Minot is essential to the defense of our nation, and we're working to ensure these servicemembers have the infrastructure and equipment they need to be successful in their missions," said Hoeven. "Both the existing helicopter facility and the weapons storage facility are outdated and will not meet the base's future needs. That's why we're pressing the Air Force leadership to keep moving these projects forward, so the facilities can be built on schedule, ready to support the new Grey Wolf helicopters that will provide security for the missile fields and meet the fast-paced demands placed on Minot's B-52s."

Democrats Move Forward on Impeachment, Some Republicans Say They Would Support 25th Amendment
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Wednesday's violent protest at the Capitol an "insurrection against the United States" that was incited by President Trump and called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to begin the process of the president's removal.
DEM LAWMAKER CALLS FOR EXPULSION OF REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
Pulling Trump from office has been the dream of Democrats since before his election victory in 2016. Democrats have been trying to sell the public that Trump is a Russian asset and rogue president. But despite his impeachment in the House, the anti-Trumpers on the Hill never got enough bi-partisan support for his removal.
But that may be changing.
"I don't know anything about the President's mental state, or any of that. The Cabinet decides on the 25th Amendment that is. If the Cabinet decided to do that, I would not oppose it," Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) said in an interview.
The fallout comes after pro-Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol to express their anger over allegations of widespread voter fraud. Washington D.C. police said that five people died—one woman was shot and three died of natural causes—and dozens were arrested. Sixty Capitol Police officers were hurt, including 15 who were hospitalized.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also called on the Senate to invoke the amendment for Trump's removal. NBC News reported that an impeachment trial is another option, but "there would be little time for a Senate trial before Trump's term ends in 13 days."
"The quickest and most effective way — it can be done today — to remove this president from office would be for the vice president to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment," Schumer said, according to the network. "If the vice president and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president."


For those who want to share their ideas and concepts through fuzzy sketchiness. Lets all try and scribble a bit once a day!
Thanks to Electric_Goldfish who posted the original and others who helped come up with this idea.
Can be anything from a sketch a day, to unfinished concept art, to works in progress, to just trying out art programs and new mediums. Think of it like a think-tank, while the Drawing Board is more for finished work (which can also be positively-critiqued, but more of an after-thought for future works and not so much at an in-development stage.) Expect a lot of file-dumping here.
One recommendation I can make is to upload thumbnails of the sketches because the forums still allow them to enlarge to normal size when they're clicked on, making it easier for 56K Internets and also be able to upload more images per post. A photobucket account's really good for this.
I'll start off: I'm planning designs for a RockmelonSoda Bar after thinking how cool it is that Dragon Quest makes Bars for its franchise in Japan. Also lets me work in perspective, another thing that I love Manga Studio for because I don't have to mess with rulers or big paper for vanishing points.
I'm going to get in on this as I've been meaning to start drawing every day again.
I did? Haha! I need to follow my own advice! I shall do my best and try not to stress about how 'good' or 'bad' my sketches are.
i'd move it buuuuut not exactly sure how. Please move yall's posts.
Hmmm...I kind of made this thread for sharing ideas and drafts, though I guess this is specifically for posting a sketch a day.
Kazuyami, another character of mine (not even sure what medium his story is going to be played out in), fighting a bunch of Gaki. Check out the Let's Get Working thread for progress pictures.
EDIT: Can we post progress pictures?
Kazuyami, another character of mine (not even sure what medium his story is going to be played out in), fighting a bunch of Gaki. Gonna be adding more detail to Kazuyami, finishing the Gaki, and adding fog and trees.
I think lowering the opacity levels of the pencil down to 35% in my program is actually working for me now. Looks a lot more like graphite instead of dark charcoal strokes, and builds onto lines like pencils do.
Can we post progress pictures?
I would think that'd be in your Let's Get Working thread.
Jet being all Robrocop. I'll go over the lines later.
Hmmmm...Maybe you're right. Think I might replace the picture here with the sketch.
I like it. :D It has an impressionistic feel to it.
That looks like humd. It is actually hump. It does not want to humd your face, because that doesn't make sense.
I'm gonna hund all over your face baby.
I mean humd. XD Dammit. My printing threw me off so bad that I couldn't even translate it correctly.
d'awwwww, you captured her d'awwness. It's lovely.

Q: Save values of colours in a list for easy access and unclutter environment I have a range of colours that I'm using in R. E.g.
odi_dBlue <- "#2254F4"
odi_mBlue <- "#00B7FF"
odi_lBlue <- "#08DEF9"
...

This is the simplest way to store them and they can be easily accessed by invoking "odi_dBlue" in a graph command.
However, they clutter the environment. What is the best alternative? Dataframe, list etc. and how would you then access them?

A: you can store other objects in a list and obtain them with get or mget
colours <- c(odi_dBlue, odi_mBlue, odi_lBlue)
get(colours[1])

About how to access them in the help page it is quite clear how to do it with get and mget
Although in the ls command they will appear too. Or just store directly in a list the values, if you know where it is each colour you can call them directly with colour[1].

Could military strategy win the war on global warming?
by Jennifer Horton
Aerial Reforestation
Aerial reforestation could help to replant this wetland, where people would have a difficult time maneuvering.
Siri Stafford/Getty Images
While it's not always militaristic, aerial reforestation has many applications. It's often used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to increase cover and prevent erosion at a burn site soon after a fire. It's also helpful anywhere that traditional reforestation would be difficult: barren deserts, inaccessible mountain sides, war-ravaged areas and wetlands where people might not be able to find firm footing to plant seedlings.
While it doesn't always have as high of a success rate as manual methods, its effectiveness depends on several factors such as using the right type of seeds, distributing those seeds during the appropriate season and releasing them at the right moment and in the right location. Another issue is predation: the efforts after World War II were stopped because the dropped seeds ended up feeding mice and gophers rather than growing into trees. If it's done right, though, reforestation by air can have a success rate as high as 70 percent [source: Joffe-Block].
Traditional reforestation methods, although more easily controlled than aerial methods, are labor-intensive, time-consuming and expensive. Planting just 1 acre by hand could cost as much as $3,500 [source: Utomo].
Money matters aside, the quantities of seeds that can be planted using aerial reforestation is astonishing. A large plane could drop as many as 100,000 seeds in one flight, which comes out to about a million trees in just one day [source: MIT]. Even if only 70 percent of those survived, that would still be 700,000 trees -- a pretty successful day. Planting that many trees by hand in one day would require a lot of hands, even at the 95 percent success rate typical of manual planting methods [source: Joffe-Block].
Of course, all this hypothesizing depends a lot on the methods used. Just like strategy can win or lose a military battle, it could be the key to winning this particular battle as well. In the next section, learn how military technology could be used in a more peaceful way.

Firstly, I would like to give you a short definition of this Social Networking Site.
Pinterest is like a big board in which you can visualize everything you love at a glance.
Inside the big board, you can configure it by creating new small boards with different images or videos you like (this content you add is called "pin"). When you share this pinned images that have already been added by other users, you are "repineando").
Pinterest has all the elements to be the best visual social networking site. But the big question is: What can this social networking site do for our products or brands in a Social Media Strategy?
The reason that I like Pinterest a lot in a Social Media Strategy is that you can obtain a lot of useful content.
I would like to mention 5 reasons you should use it.
1)You can research your followers repinnings trends in order to see which product is the most repinned. This information could be useful later, for example, in hosting an online product contest because it last sponsors know which product have the most appeal. This would be part of a broader online marketing strategy.
2) You can show all of your shop's product in an online catalogue.
3) You can promote events.
4) You can create more loyalty with your followers, by posting photos of the members of the company doing their business very professionally, showing the most popular events carry out for the company etc. It's a good way to create a better and more personal brand.
5)With the aim of integrating in to a other Social Media Network, you can post your Pinterest Profile in other sites such as Facebook.
I think you should take a look at this short video to understand more graphically this Social Networking Place.

No legislative, judiciary autonomy in Cross River
A member of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Efa Esua, has said that two arms of in the state, the judiciary and legislature, do not have autonomy and independence.
According to Esua, who is representing Calabar municipality and was also former chairman of House Committee on Public Petition, Public Service Matters, and Conflict Resolution, it is a deliberate attempt by the executive to control and dictate to them.
Speaking to journalists in Calabar on Thursday, he said, "Recently, there was a long strike by judicial workers over judicial autonomy. There were a lot of appeals that the strike should be suspended. But up till now, even despite that our governor signed that autonomy, is there anything like judicial autonomy in the Cross River State judiciary?
"There is also no independence or autonomy in the state parliament. As we speak, we are still waiting for the executive arm of to approve our salary, but other states have implemented theirs."

He further stated, "When you don't have autonomy, why won't you be seen as a rubber stamp? Even to drink water you will wait and depend on the executive. We, judiciary and legislature, largely depend on the executive arm of to get money and survive."
Esua also decried the bill currently in the National Assembly seeking to stop medical workers from going on strike in the country.

Currently closed for the winter
Open Sat 15 February to Sun 23 February inclusive
10.30 to 4.30
(donations very welcome)
At the top of picturesque Gold Hill, well known for the Hovis "Boy on a Bike" advert, this modern museum is set in two historic buildings. One was once the priest's house and still has a "squint" through the wall to St Peter's church; the other provided basic lodgings for traders at the market on Gold Hill.
Eight galleries tell the story of rural and town life, starting even before Shaftesbury's notional foundation by Alfred the Great. Highlights of the collection include the unique Byzant, carried during annual celebrations of the securing of the water supply, so vital to a hilltop town; Dorset's oldest fire engine, dating from 1744; fine lacework and costumes; handmade Dorset buttons; and a mummified Dorset cat.
Gold Hill Museum is owned and managed by volunteers of The Shaftesbury & District Historical Society, a registered charity. You can read about the range of activities of The S&DHS in the Diary of Events, Library and Lectures & Speakers pages, in the "About Us" and "Events" menus, and in our recent News Blogs and Newsletters.

No work is more of a protection to the Church than temple work and the genealogical research which supports it. No work is more spiritually refining. No work we do gives us more power. No work requires a higher standard of righteousness. Our labors in the Temple cover us with a shield and a protection, both individually and as a people.
For that person striving to live righteously, this mortal existence is a testing time indeed. The faithful are plagued with the temptations of a world that appears to have lost itself in a snarled maze of ambiguity, mendacity, and threatening uncertainty. The challenge to live in the world but not of the world is a monumental one, indeed.
I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish; but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road. A [mathematical] sum [incorrectly worked] can be put right; but only by going back till you find the error and then working it fresh from that point. [It will] never [be corrected] by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot "develop" into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound.


The World encourages journeys and new beginnings in your life journey.
Imbued with deep meaning, The World card portrays Planet Earth on a floating chiromancy palm for divination. Around it, the ouroboros snake eats her own tail, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life, and that everything will eventually find its balance. In the four corners of the tile are the four houses of Tarot – cups, pentacles, swords and wands. The World card promises journeys, and rewards positive efforts with an improved world around you. Floating in a sea of stars, the world is quite literally at your fingertips.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by: Ransom Riggs
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs.
A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (65%) was just plain okay for me. There were some good parts to this book, but nothing spectacular.
Now, for those of you who watch BookTube, we all know how much JesseTheReader loves this book. I definitely respect his love for the novel, but I just can't relate to his feelings. For me, it definitely doesn't need the hype it gets. I also understand that Jesse might relate to this book a lot more than me, which makes a ton of sense.
One of the main reasons that I was turned away from liking this book was the background set-up and the length of time that was spent world-building. Both took FOREVER!
This is exactly how I felt when I looked down and realized I was about 150 pages in and Jacob still wasn't at the home yet.
I also don't feel like there was a lot of character development. Jacob did have to grow up and leave his time behind, but other than that, almost everyone else stayed relatively the same.
Overall, I think it was neat that Ransom Riggs could find a story in some pictures, but really that's all.
What did you think of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children? Leave your thoughts down below!
From out of her hiatus,
We cling to our fairy tales until the price for believing in them becomes too high."

Garella France
After completing a double major in literature and art, Garella began his professional career in the communication sector before working for himself as an independent artist. Even though he started out working in musical composition and in visual compositions, his pluridisciplinary artistic vocation eventually gave way to the development of his painting, which today takes up the entirety of his time and interests.
Garella lives in the centre of the Vendée, in a region surrounded by the coast and nick named ""the coast of light"" on account of the quality of the sunshine, and is constantly inspired by the surrounding nature. At the heart of his research, the painter has found his favourite theme by observing landscapes, which he loves to interpret, again and always. He is deeply inspired by works by the British landscapist William Turner (1775-1851) and by the Chine artist Zao Wou Ki (1920-2013), Garella conceives of his canvas as a ""meditative space in which dreams encounter nature and where he can search for a world beyond the horizon: all the spaces we carry within us and from which the unexpected emerges.""
The painter approaches his subject like a sensory experience and sculpts the material, captures the light, using tubes, spatulas and paintbrushes to give birth to abstract, poetic and exalted compositions. Garella's lyrical works are made only with the acrylic paint he work on the support itself and they carry the viewer's gaze to the edge of the real, to the place where emotion meets dreams and perception seems to grow to reveal the inexpressible.


Did 'Close Encounters' Herald the Advent of a New Religion?
Spielberg's 1977 sci-fi epic is loaded with portents, but what do they mean?
You don't need to strain too hard to find the biblical imagery in Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. You don't even need to see the movie. The poster alone—a mountain clouded with smoke and bathed in heavenly light—is enough to signal that something big is about to be revealed.
In the movie itself, the allusions to Mount Sinai are even more direct. When we first meet our protagonist, electrical lineman Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), he's just given his kids permission to watch Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, even though it's almost bedtime. "Roy, that movie's four hours long," complains his wife, Ronnie (Teri Garr). "I said they could watch five commandments," he answers.
Writing in The New Republic when the film first appeared, critic Stanley Kauffmann argued that Close Encounters "is not so much a film as an event in the history of faith." It's a movie about the power of movies, but it's more than just an exercise in self-reflexivity. For a society awash in technological innovation, he argued, Spielberg's brand of movie magic becomes a uniquely potent force. It excites and convinces, but, ultimately, comforts and soothes. Yes, there's life out there, Close Encounters tell us, but not to worry: They like us. In Kauffmann's conception, the director is much more than mere entertainer. He is a saintly figure imparting holy bliss. He's also engaged in the ultimate act of chutzpah: He leads us to Mount Sinai only to reveal his own creation.
Creativity and the creative process are central motifs here. Roy Neary gets an idea and spends much of the movie trying to make it real. After his first encounter with an alien ship, he gets an image stuck in his head—an image of the mountain, Wyoming's Devil's Tower, where, in the film's final act, the alien mothership will make its dazzling descent. But before Roy understands just what the image is, he fashions more and more sophisticated representations of it: first with mashed potatoes, then with clay, and, finally, with a sculpture that takes up the better part of his living room.
Roy enhances and refines and perfects his vision as a film director might. (Here's Spielberg in 1980 with a scale model of one of his Raiders of the Lost Ark locations.) Perhaps it's no accident that the staging area set up for the spaceship's arrival, with its glaring lights, copious sound equipment, and bright white screens—to say nothing of the throngs of people waiting for something, anything, to happen—bears a strong resemblance to a movie set.
Wide-eyed and wildly ambitious, Close Encounters is a young man's film. In a 2005 interview, Spielberg, who made the picture before he had children, said that now that he's a father he wouldn't be able to end the movie with Roy climbing onto the spaceship and leaving his family behind. The director's view of America and American institutions has also changed. In Close Encounters, the army does nothing but lie and deceive—a state of affairs far different from the one Spielberg offers in, say, Saving Private Ryan.
In Close Encounters, Spielberg goes up the mountain in order to subvert it—and he announces his own arrival in the process. In more recent years, he's had his sights set on a more conventional sort of Sinai. Back in the 1970s, five commandments was enough. Nowadays, he's interested in the full 10.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind will be screened at New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage on Wednesday, July 23, at 6:30 p.m. as part of the free summer-long series Close Encounters of the Spielberg Kind, which will continue every Wednesday through August 13.

Occupational Health and Safety & Workers Compensation
Fasken has some of the best lawyers and OHS consultants available to assist with EHS issues and have been involved in several of the leading OHS cases at all levels of court and tribunals, up to and including the Supreme Court of Canada.
We are available to assist employers in all OHS legal matters, workplace accident investigations, defence of OHS enforcement proceedings, and challenging Workers' Compensation claims and appeals.
The legal risk and public scrutiny of workplace incidents in Canada and around the world has resulted in strict enforcement of Canadian Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws across Canada.
Employers are the primary target of the enforcement of OHS laws. OHS legislation exists in every Canadian province and federally under the Canada Labour Code. OHS laws are enforced by OHS inspectors issuing Orders, Directions, and Quasi-criminal Charges. Legislatively, there are many critical OHS policy and procedure requirements that employers must have in place to establish an effective OHS Management System and the legal defence of Due Diligence.
The Westray Mine Disaster Bill C-45 amendments to the Criminal Code have resulted in a new crime of Occupational Health and Safety Criminal Negligence, with extremely high fines, for Corporations, and up to life imprisonment for individuals. We advise and represent as counsel organizations, directors, officers and managers in these complex, specialized prosecutions and judicial proceedings.
Workers' Compensation legislation exists nationally. This "no fault" insurance system compensates workers who have been injured in the workplace, regardless of the cause of the workplace injury. The replacement of lost earnings under Canadian Workers' Compensation systems also provides a legal bar against civil law suits against employers for allegations of wrong doing that caused the accident. Numerous, complex issues arise in the administration of worker's compensation claims, including rate group classifications, entitlement issues and appeals, and transfer of cost applications to worker compensation boards. Employers often can reduce the costs of Workers' Compensation claims through accident prevention and effective claims management.

The end of the liberal Tory
A hard Brexit fringe has seized control of the Conservatives. That leaves millions of voters homeless. Could they swing the coming election?
by Gaby Hinsliff	/ October 4, 2019 / Leave a comment
Will can remember the exact moment that he realised he no longer felt comfortable in the Conservative Party.
He had never been that keen on Theresa May, but hoped she would at least prove the "grown-up in the room" after the referendum; even as a Remain voter, he says, he could have accepted a sensibly negotiated Brexit. But then came the 2016 party conference in Birmingham, at which May dismissed people who consider themselves "citizens of the world" as "citizens of nowhere," shallow-rooted types with little interest in what was best for their own country.
"I just thought you don't actually want people like me in the party around anymore, do you?" says Will, who is in his mid-30s and joined the party under David Cameron. "It made me realise how tribal I had become without realising it. These scales fall from your eyes, and you realise how much bullshit you have swallowed over the years." After months of soul-searching, he has resolved that at the next general election he will both vote and campaign for the Liberal Democrats. What is unusual about Will is that he isn't just any voter; he's a former Conservative parliamentary aide, whose girlfriend is still active in the party.
"I've always supported the Tories because I'm a fairly un-ideological, moderate person who just wants reasonable, pro-business policies," he explains. "But this is a massively ideological project and I think it's profoundly unconservative, or not my kind of conservatism anyway."
Will is part of a longstanding tradition of pragmatic Tory thinking that abhors the idea of radical beliefs trumping practicalities. It's a tradition that in recent times has often been defined against doctrinaire Europhobia, but it long predates that—stretching from Disraeli's early One Nation Conservatism via Baldwin and a post-war revival under Harold Macmillan, to the so-called "wets" uneasy with the socially divisive aspect of the Thatcher years and ultimately to David Cameron, the leader who always insisted there was no such thing as "Cameronism"; no specific ideology, just an understanding of what works.
What worries Will isn't just the economic consequences of a no-deal departure, but what he sees as hard Brexiteers' apparent willingness to sacrifice anything—the Union, the queen, the legal and constitutional proprieties trampled in pursuit of a parliamentary prorogation that the Supreme Court ruled unanimously to be…

Boris Johnson must be stopped before he pulls the UK off the no-deal cliff edge
NR_BUCHSBAUM
It is a REAL LOSS to the Conservatives, but a Conservative prime minister foolishly called a referendum in a parliamentary representative democracy, and a majority of the voters chose to leave the EU. To ask people to vote and vote until the establishment likes the result is what they do in continental Europe. Tony Blair destroyed British traditional institutional arrangements by scuppering the Law Lords, giving too much power to all the nations except England through devolution, and Theresa May was not competent as a negotiator for the UK. Britain has a lot going for it, and she squandered time and advantages and was unable to get a deal that anyone in Britain would accept. Why did she not stress the UK's security blanket, its intelligence services, its military prowess, its closeness to the US, and what should matter to those materialists in Paris and Berlin, that the UK is Germany's best customer for its cars in Europe, and Britain is the home of the English language, the most important language in trade, commerce and tourism in the world.
