Innovation. Community organizing. Justice. These are the themes of the Oakland Innovation Film Lab, coming to town June 18-21.
The Film Lab, hosted by BluBlak Media, gives students, emerging artists and award-winning documentarians the opportunity to show off their creative abilities. It focuses on experimental projects that take a new and powerful approach to storytelling. Each of the films selected for this year's event adds something new to the film genre—while also giving a voice to social themes.
As part of the event, Green For All's Director of Education and Outreach, Rosa González will join Aekta Shah, a Green For All Fellow and Food Justice Director for I-SEEED along with other local foodies for a dialogue on food justice, followed by a screening of the film Soul Food Junkies by Byron Hurt.
In addition to focusing on innovation, this year's Film Lab explores issues like youth empowerment through hip-hop, food justice, escalating high school dropout rates, and modern love and relationships. The event also features a youth lab for student filmmakers.
Film Lab host BluBlak Media was founded in 1998 by Green For All Fellow Ashara Ekundayo, with a mission of deepening conversation and collaboration between organizations engaging with communities of color.


I'm very impressed with the latest version of pfSense: 2.0!
The feature I've been most looking forward to is the ability to create GRE tunnels, but after installing it on an extra ALIX board I had lying around, I found some other features that are really awesome!
The new version of pfSense uses relayd replaces slbd for load balancing - and that includes the ability to probe pool members with ICMP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SMTP.
I haven't scratched the surface yet with NanoBSD, but from what little I've read on the topic, its great news for the embedded version of pfSense.
The new version of pfSense also includes the glxsb driver! This is good news for owners of ALIX boards.

Liverpool closing in on the signing of Minamino
Sai 12 December, 2019 English Premier League, General Football News, Liverpool, Site News, Transfer News & Rumours
Liverpool are expected to sign Minamino from RB Salzburg in January.
According to The Times, the Reds were very impressed with his performances in the Champions League earlier this season.
The Japanese international terrorized the Liverpool defence at Anfield and in Salzburg during the two group games. It seems that Klopp is convinced about his quality.
As per the report, the player has a £7.25m release clause and the Reds could trigger it next month.
Meanwhile, the reliable James Pearce from The Athletic has revealed that the move is highly likely and he expects it to happen.
It will be interesting to see how Minamino performs in the Premier League. His quality is beyond doubt and he has shown that he is ready to shine at the top level.
His arrival will not only improve Liverpool going forward, he will also improve the club's presence and stature in Asia.
Football is a very popular sport in Japan right now and Minamino would help Liverpool tap into the Asian market.
The Salzburg ace can play in the wide areas but he is primarily an attacking midfielder. He has an impressive turn of pace and immense technical ability. The 24-year-old Japanese midfielder should be able to form an exciting partnership with Liverpool's world class front three.

(Reuters) - LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers will play a pair of exhibition games against the Brooklyn Nets in China later this year ahead of the 2019-20 National Basketball Association (NBA) season, the league said on Monday.
The Lakers, 16-time champions, and Nets will play in Shanghai on Oct. 10 followed by a game in Shenzhen on Oct. 12, extending the trend of NBA squads competing in China.
The games will mark the Lakers' second trip to China following their initial visit in 2013 while the Nets will be playing in China for the third time after visits in 2010 and 2014.
Since 2004, 17 NBA teams have played 26 games in Beijing, Guangzhou, Macao, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Taipei.
The Lakers have not made the playoffs since 2013 but will surely be a draw given a roster that currently features three-time NBA champion James.
Nets minority partner Joe Tsai, who bought 49 percent of the team last year, is the executive vice chairman of the China-based e-commerce giant Alibaba and was named to the NBA China board of directors last October.

As we are well aware that there are four grand slam tournaments in tennis played every year. The Australian Open is the first grand slam which is played every year. Let us know more about this tournament via this article.
The Australian Open was started in 1905 by the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia or LTAA which is now known as Tennis Australia. The first ever Australian Open was played at the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground in Melbourne and now it has been turned into Albert Reserve Tennis Centre. The Australian Open was first known as Australasian Championships and then it was renamed as the Australian Championships.
In 1969 the tournament was renamed as the Australian Open. The Australian Open was played in various cities around Australia and New Zealand in past. These cities are Sydney (17), Adelaide (14), Brisbane (7), Perth (3) and Melbourne (55 times). The New Zealand cities are Christchurch (once in 1906) and Hastings (once in 1912).
Till 1923 the Australian Open was not considered to be a major tournament in the world of tennis. But then in a meeting in 1923 it was decided to introduce the seeding system in the tournament and in 1972 the tournament was shifted to Melbourne permanently. The Kyooyong Lawn Tennis Club was the original place of the tournament and now it is staged at the Melbourne Park complex, since 1988.
The Australian Open is known as one of the toughest tournament in the entire year as it happens during the hot and humid Australian Summer. Many times the humidity is so high that the matches have to be stopped due to that. The 2014 Australian Open was one of those tournaments where heat was the major factor to fight for the most of the professional tennis players around the world.


As part of my retirement investing strategy at some point I need to buy a house. As I have mentioned before I am not currently buying as I believe house prices are overvalued.
I have been looking for a data set that would show me when average interest rates charged by the banks for house mortgages were starting to rise. I was also looking for a measure that would show increases fairly quickly rather than waiting for lots of old fixed rate mortgages to expire. I thought I had found a good measure and started to see rates rising by using UK resident banks interest rates of new loans secured on dwellings to households when I blogged here.
I've been thinking about what loans secured on dwellings means and it seems likely that it includes a lot more than mortgages. I've had another trawl through the Bank of England web site and found a data set that should be certainly showing very recent changes to mortgage interest rates and might be more appropriate to use. This data set is the monthly interest rate of UK resident banks and building societies sterling standard variable rate mortgage to households not seasonally adjusted (data set IUMTLMV). A chart of this is shown above. Unfortunately, unlike the previous 'secured on dwellings' data set variable rates are still at lows of around 4% having been as high as 8.87%. So unfortunately for those (including me) waiting for increasing mortgage rates to potentially reduce house affordability it appears we have a while to wait yet.
Here's an out of the box idea. How about the government lets the market operate freely rather than distort it with all this intervention. So where do the banks then get their money from? Another 'crazy' idea. How about they start paying interest rates on savings that are above inflation and that will encourage people to start saving again. Oh that's right, that would then force mortgages up and maybe bring house prices back to more sensible levels. Let's see if the government after the next election gives in to the banks demands.
Secondly, the Financial Times also reports that estate agents have seen the first drop in new buyer enquiries for 14 months. Is this a genuine fall or due to the cold weather that we have been happening? I guess it will all show up in the house price figures in due course.
That said, if I'm honest it's been good for the economy for the past 18 months that Armageddon has been averted.
My median expectation is now for +/- 5% a year for the next 5-10 years, as rates gently tick up, but I wouldn't be surprised to see London boom again.
Re: Your search for data, been there, got the t-shirt. You can find excellent predictors for all kinds of angles of lending and buying, then the housing market just confounds you again and again.
Good luck though, it makes for interesting reading!

Sir John Pratt  (1657–1725) was an English judge and politician. He was Lord Chief Justice of England from 15 May 1718 until 2 March 1725. He was appointed as an interim Chancellor of the Exchequer on 2 February 1721 until 3 April 1721.

Life
He was the son of Richard Pratt of Standlake, Oxfordshire. After matriculating at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, on 14 March 1672–3, he migrated to Wadham College where he was elected scholar in 1674, and fellow in 1678. He graduated B.A. in 1676, and proceeded M.A. in 1679.

Pratt was admitted on 18 November 1675 a student at the Inner Temple, where he was called to the bar on 12 February 1682. He appeared for the Crown before the House of Lords in Sir John Fenwick's case, 16–17 December 1696, and before the House of Commons for the East India Company in support of the petition for a charter on 14 June and 1 July 1698. He was made serjeant-at-law on 6 November 1700, and was heard by a committee of the House of Commons as counsel for the court of exchequer against a bill for curtailing the fees of the officers of that court on 25 February 1706.

On 17 January 1710 Pratt was assigned, with Sir Simon Harcourt, as counsel for Henry Sacheverell, but declined to act. On 20 December 1711 he appeared before the House of Lords in support of the patent conferring an English dukedom on James Douglas, 4th Duke of Hamilton. On 28 December 1711 he was returned to parliament for Midhurst, for which he sat a silent (or all but) member until the dissolution which followed the accession of George I. Meanwhile, on Lord Cowper's recommendation, he was raised to a puisne judgeship in the court of king's bench, and was sworn in accordingly on 22 November 1714 and knighted.

On the question of prerogative submitted to the judges in January 1718, whether the custody of the royal grandchildren was vested in the Prince of Wales or the king, Pratt concurred with the majority of his colleagues in favour of the Crown. He was one of the commissioners of the great seal in the interval (18 April–22 May 1718) between the resignation of Lord-chancellor Cowper and the seal's transference to Lord-keeper Parker (later the Earl of Macclesfield). He succeeded the latter, 15 May, as lord chief justice of the court of king's bench, being sworn of the Privy Council on 9 October.

In the case of Colbatch v. Bentley, in 1722 (see John Colbatch, Richard Bentley) he resisted the combined influence of Sir Robert Walpole and Lord Macclesfield, which Bentley had enlisted in his interest. Walpole could only explain it by supposing that Pratt was conscious of having "got to the top of his preferment". His treatment of the Jacobite Christopher Layer has damaged his reputation.

Pratt bought, about 1705, the manor of Stidulfe's Place, which he renamed Wilderness, in the parish of Seal, Kent; also, in 1714, Bayham Priory, in the parish of Frant, Sussex, the ancient church of which he disroofed. He died at his house in Great Ormond Street, London, on 24 February 1725.

Family
Pratt married twice. By his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Gregory, rector of Middleton-Stoney, Oxfordshire, he had issue four daughters and five sons. By his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh Wilson, canon of Bangor, he had four sons and four daughters. His heir was John, his fourth son by his first wife (see Robert Tracy 1655–1735). Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden was the third son by the second marriage. Of Pratt's daughters by his first wife, the second, Grace, married Sir John Fortescue Aland; Jane, his second daughter by his second wife, married Nicholas Hardinge; Anna Maria, his third daughter by the same wife, married Thomas Barrett Lennard, 16th Baron Dacre.

Suspect poisoned woman's cheesecake in attempt to steal look-alike's identity, prosecutors say
by: Tribune Media Wire
Posted: Mar 1, 2018 / 06:53 AM EST / Updated: Mar 1, 2018 / 06:53 AM EST
NEW YORK — A woman allegedly tried to kill her look-alike with poisoned cheesecake in a devious attempt to steal the victim's identity, New York City prosecutors said Wednesday.
Viktoria Nasyrova, 42, of Brooklyn, allegedly brought a cheesecake with the drug phenazepam, a type of tranquilizer, baked into it to the victim's home in Queens in August 2016, according to WPIX.
The 35-year-old victim started eating, but then began to feel sick and lay down, officials said. Her last memory is of seeing Nasyrova sitting beside her.
The victim was found the next day dressed in lingerie with phenazepam pills scattered around her body, a fabricated scene meant to convince investigators that the victim tried to kill herself, prosecutors said.

"This is a bizarre and twisted crime that could have resulted in the death of a Queens woman, whose only fault was that she shared similar features with the defendant," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said. "Offering a gift of a cheesecake, the defendant is alleged to have laced the dessert with a Russian drug and presented it to the unsuspecting victim."
When the victim returned home from the hospital, she found that her passport, employment authorization card, cash and jewelry were missing. Investigators noted that she and the victim resembled one another. Both have dark hair, the same skin complexion and speak Russian, they said.
Nasyrova was arrested on March 20, 2017, at which time police found the victim's passport, employment card and ring. She was arraigned on Tuesday.
Nasyrova moved to New York City in 2014 from Russia to avoid authorities after allegedly killing 54-year-old Alla Aleksenko, according to the New York Daily News. Investigators found the woman's charred remains buried in a grave in western Russia.
She faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Q: a dcpo seen as a category: when does a dcpo map induce a functor with an adjoint? Take two posets $A, B$ (partially ordered sets).  Now consider these posets to be categories $Cat(A), Cat(B)$ respectively.  Consider a map from $A$ to $B$, $f: A \rightarrow B$.  This can be seen as a functor $F : Cat(A) \rightarrow Cat(B)$.  Under what conditions on the posets $A, B$ and the map $f$, will the functor $F$ have an adjoint?  I would like to say that if $f$ is Scott-continuous, then $F$ will have an adjoint.  Is this true?

A: I would like to say that if f is Scott-continuous, then F will have an adjoint. Is this true?
No.
If $A$ and $B$ are complete (semi)lattices then $f:A\to B$ has a right adjoint $f\dashv g$ iff $f$ preserves all joins, and then $g:B\to A$ that preserves all meets, and vice versa.
We could call this the (Special) Adjoint Function/or Theorem.  However, the result is actually so familiar that it is built into the language of mathematics, if not everyday life, for example in phrases like least common multiple.
If $A$ and $B$ are finite lattices, every order-preserving function between them is Scott continuous, but $f:A\to B$ has a right adjoint iff it preserves $\bot$ and $\lor$.
Of course, posets or dcpos that are not lattices can have or fail to have adjoints too, but it is really not worth the trouble of formulating (necessarily very complicated) theorems about this.
Contravariant adjunctions between lattices arise extremely commonly just from an arbitrary binary relation.  I feel that this justifies retaining the name Galois connection for the contravariant situation.
Let $R\subset X\times Y$ be any relation between two sets.  For any subsets $A\subset X$ and $B\subset Y$, write
$$ A^+ = \{ b | \forall a\in A.R(a,b) \}   \text{ and }  B^+ = \{ a | \forall b\in B.R(a,b) \}. $$
Then this defines a contravariant adjunction between the powersets of $X$ and $Y$.
In the particular case of Galois theory, let $X$ be the field, $Y$ its automorphism group and $R$ the relation that a particular automorphism fixes a particular element of the field.  Then as a corallary and not as a necessary hypothesis, $A^+$ is a subgroup for any subset $B$ and similarly $B^+$ is a subfield for any subset $A$. Under the usual conditions (and only now do we introduce non-trivial algebra) the $(-)^+$ constructions restrict to a bijection between subgroups and subfields.

A: An adjunction between posets is precisely a Galois connection.  (Paul has characterized these in the case where the posets are both complete.)  English Wikipedia; nLab.

Q: Setup Azure Function from Powershell In Azure CLI, there is az functionapp, but no such equivalent can be found in Powershell AzureRM-library nor Az-library.
Using raw Azure resources, I've attempted something like this to create a function app on my Application Service Plan:
New-AzResource -ResourceType 'Microsoft.Web/Sites' `
    -ResourceGroupName "MyRgName" `
    -Location "westeurope" `
    -ResourceName "MyFunctionName" `
    -kind 'functionapp' `
    -Properties @{ServerFarmId="abc-123"; alwaysOn=$True;} `
    -ApiVersion '2018-11-01' `
    -Force;

It almost works, but doesn't create a 100% working Function App. Azure Portal will spit lots of errors and warnings, for example from missing Host Keys.
Alternatives:

*

*ARM-templates. What to put into a template to successfully create Azure Function? I have no idea. The one generated by Azure Portal is useless.

*Azure Portal: Not really handy approach for environment setup from Azure DevOps release pipeline, but it will create a fully working Function App.

The question is: How to create a Function App from a Powershell script?

A: I am doing the exact same thing to create a dev sandbox environment.
Provisioning function apps is a gap in the Az Powershell module but it does appear to be possible.
I provisioned my function app by following the steps here https://clouddeveloper.space/2017/10/26/deploy-azure-function-using-powershell/ but changed it to use an existing app service plan instead of consumption plan.
$AppServicePlan = "abc-123"
$AppInsightsKey = "your key here"
$ResourceGroup = "MyRgName"
$Location = "westeurope"
$FunctionAppName = "MyFunctionName"
$AzFunctionAppStorageAccountName = "MyFunctionAppStorageAccountName"
$FunctionAppSettings = @{
    ServerFarmId="/subscriptions/<GUID>/resourceGroups/$ResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/$AppServicePlan";
    alwaysOn=$True;
}

# Provision the function app service
New-AzResource -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Location $Location -ResourceName $FunctionAppName -ResourceType "microsoft.web/sites" -Kind "functionapp" -Properties $FunctionAppSettings -Force | Out-Null

$AzFunctionAppStorageAccountKey = Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -AccountName $AzFunctionAppStorageAccountName | Where-Object { $_.KeyName -eq "Key1" } | Select-Object Value
$AzFunctionAppStorageAccountConnectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=$AzFunctionAppStorageAccountName;AccountKey=$($AzFunctionAppStorageAccountKey.Value)"
$AzFunctionAppSettings = @{
    APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY = $AppInsightsKey;
    AzureWebJobsDashboard = $AzFunctionAppStorageAccountConnectionString;
    AzureWebJobsStorage = $AzFunctionAppStorageAccountConnectionString;
    FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION = "~2";
    FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME = "dotnet";
}

# Set the correct application settings on the function app
Set-AzWebApp -Name $FunctionAppName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -AppSettings $AzFunctionAppSettings | Out-Null

A: This might help:
To create an Azure Function we have dependency over "Storage Account", "Service Plan", "a resource group" and "Application Insight"(optional). Below i am initially defining variables. Post that i am checking if Resource group exist. If not it will create a new one. Post which i created Azure Storage Account, Service Plan and Application Insight. In Azure function we need to select Runtime Stack which can be "Java"/"DotNet"/"Python" etc. Here I am using "Dotnet". Azure Function requires Storage Account keys to link the same, which is extracted below under variables "WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING" etc. To link AppInsight with Function we need to map Application_Insight_InstrumentationKey. Please follow inline comments :
#=============Defining All Variables=========

A: The best way to do this from PowerShell is to use an ARM template, rather than try to create each resource individually. You can find an example template here. It also hooks up the app to github, but you can leave out that part if you just want an empty app

Ok, it's getting close to the end of the year. Sept. 20 will be our "MEGA, mega, ...... Evaluation Day". All that means is that we are doing all the evaluations in one day. I will need a couple of volunteers to help out with this so, step up. We will start at 9:00 am and will probably end around 2:00. At least that what happened last year. If by chance you can't make it and still need your evaluations for this year, you will have the months of Oct. - Dec. to complete them.
Tony Gaier did an excellent job putting together the last training. He also did a pack check. He went around and asked everyone to see just a couple of things out of their pack. He asked me to see my signal mirror and insulating layer. My mirror was buried with my compass which, I had to dig out anyway. The insulating layer was thrown into my truck, with my outer pants. Why? The night before while I was packing up my gear, I was thinking that Tony usually makes us climb all over the mountain for his trainings, so I was going to travel light. The projected temperatures were supposed to be in the 90's anyway. But, Tony said he was going to do a pack check, and I knew that those two items were out of my pack, so I just threw them into my truck.
Now, do I carry everything? Do I keep my pack totally full? Steve recently said his pack is about 25 pounds with all his gear. My pack is about 40lbs. My only excuse, my clothes are bigger. I've tried to cut my gear down, but just can't get past the 40lb. mark. Recently, I've started to leave a couple of items out of my pack, eg. "insulating layers". It's summer right. So, any way, I've been lucky. I haven't had to use any of the stuff I've left behind. Luck? Educated guess? Well, it is luck and part educated guess. Do I recommend leaving stuff out. Not really, but I look at the weather and gamble. But in the end, Steve's clothes will not fit me.
Also, in preparation for the training. I put some "Oral Rehydration Salts" in some of my water. Let me put it this way. "yuk". I going to buy the Gatorade or other flavored stuff. I been told you just need about half strength. Larry, aka, SAR God, told me this years ago, but I aways need to figure this out myself.
Again, thanks to Tony, I only saw two other guys who had to go past the power lines at the training.
Reminder, most people ordered their Northface stuff. Mostly sleeping bags. If you still are thinking about getting something, get with me.
Past memo from the SAR God, aka Larry. "Cut your toe nails"
Please join me in welcoming Shawna Grant to the team as a new prospective member. Shawna is on Terry's branch of the phone tree, and Warren is her mentor. Expect to be seeing Shawna at missions in the near future. Based on the last training, she also seems to have a knack for land navigation.


IT'S 11 A.M. and 10 beers and five cheeses are about to be consumed, all in the name of promoting local agriculture. A brewery may seem like an odd location for such an endeavour, but it makes sense as you learn about the brewing process, especially if local ingredients are being used. That's the case on this mid-March morning in Toronto as Great Lakes Brewery and Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. team up to create a pale ale with products from Escarpment Laboratories, VQH Farms Hop Co. and Barn Owl Malt. The resulting beer was shown off in late April at the 12th annual Terroir Symposium, which promotes using local food as a way to support economic profitability, improve corporate culture and environmental sustainability, and maintain vibrant communities.


We're happy to say multiple graduates of Recording Connection have found ongoing work at the preeminent, world-class studio The OC Recording Company Inc. (located in Santa Ana, CA) where they're working with producer/engineer and studio owner, Asaf Fulks on a number of exciting projects!
So how did it happen? Well, besides being voted Best Orange County Studio in 2012. The OC Recording Company Inc. is also a popular Recording Connection mentor studio, where RC apprentices are honing their recording skills hands-on.
Since their apprenticeships, Sanchez & Santos have gone on to produce several hip-hop tracks for hiphopbeatz.com, which OC Recording owns and maintains.
He is a great producer and engineer and really picked up the material fast. Recently, he helped me produce and engineer original tracks for Skylar Stecker, Alias Music Publishing, Joseph Vincent, Whosoever South and also a track for The Eddie Mantello Band that was this year's Boston Marathon theme song. Eric recently engineered voice-over sessions for the Orange County Toll Roads and Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Warren Moon.
Congrats to our Recording Connection graduates! Keep on movin' guys!

This house was built in the 1990's, and the house plans were definitely tampered with.
The Previous Owner acted as his own general contractor. His version of "upgrade" was building the whole thing with steel, like a commercial building. He also did some odd things to the interior but today I'll stick with the outside shots. ;) The inside is where the really crazy stuff is - don't want to get ahead of myself.
I've never lived in a house this size, or with this many issues. It's overwhelming to me.
So far I've had the plumber out here 5 times just so we have hot and cold water and all the toilets work.
I feel like all these (rotten and leaking) patio doors and windows will be next but... that's just a guess.
oh but there I am, getting ahead of myself again.
Whenever I start feeling overwhelmed, I try to focus on the view.
That is quite a view for sure!
How exciting! A real blog worthy home you have. I am looking forward to your new journey. What will you do with all that space?
Neo-eclectic? Is that any weird relationship to neoclassical?
So glad your bringing us along for the ride. What a huge challenge you have ahead of you but well worth it for your family.
Kind of a nightmare, but that VIEW! I'm very excited to follow the progress. The previous owners had some very eclectic taste....and the cameras? Are you sure he wasn't a Latin Drug Lord? I think it will be totally worth it, even if it isn't the smartest investment...it's about making a home for your new little fam.
very late in showing up here! super thrilled for you! and am glad you are posting again, i missed our visits. looking forward to your vision turning this place around and congrats big time on your marriage!!
so much potential! can't wait to see what you do with it!
Beautiful view. Our old home in California was in a huge neighborhood on a golf course and there were three types of architecture. There was Mission style, Mediterranean and a mix of the two they called eclectic. Ours was the eclectic. So yes, they even exist on the west coast.

The International Conference on Quantum Technologies is not just an important scientific event: it provides a platform where IT experts and high-tech industry leaders can communicate on how to implement quantum technologies and create infrastructure for their development.
Senior executives from big name IT and hi-tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Airbus, will gather at the Fifth International Conference on Quantum Technologies in Moscow, slated for 15-19 July 2019.
READ MORE: Quantum Leap: Scientists Design Machine to PREDICT FUTURE
The event focuses on the prospects of quantum technologies development and will be joined by leading quantum physicists from over 20 countries.
The conference will be attended by the leaders of all three schools that are heading the quantum race: a competiton among those trying to develop a universal quantum computer, inlcuding Mikhail Lukin, a professor at Harvard University, who uses cold atoms held inside laser traps at ultra-low temperatures; Christopher Monroe, a professor at the University of Maryland, who created a qubit system based on ions in an optical trap, and the research team under the leadership of Hartmut Nevern, Google's engineering director, who uses superconducting qubits.
As world corporations realise that quantum devices and the tech market will be comparable the electronics and IT market, they are already heavily investing in the development of quantum solutions in new materials engineering, secure data transfer, computing, and sensors.
"The world is coming closer to the state of quantum superposition. A lot has changed since 2011 when ICQT took place for the first time. The quantum networks emerged and grew up in many countries — from Switzerland and China — and also in Russia. Development of quantum computers and simulators is carried out by dozens of hi-tech companies, and you can get access to some of them via the internet. Quantum sensors of different types and functions are gradually becoming a product of mass consumption", Ruslan Yunusov, CEO of the Russian Quantum Centre, says.
The biennial International Conference on Quantum Technologies is organised by the Russian Quantum Centre, an international scientific-research organisation working in quantum physics, with the participation of prominent world scientists.

Construction delays move-ins in Collegetown
by Brian Crandall August 22, 2016 August 22, 2016
ITHACA, N.Y. — It's been a bit tough to get projects finished on time in Collegetown. The city has had their delays with utility and road work, and delays have also plagued two of the three large apartment buildings set to open this month.
Tenants at two of the new apartment buildings, Dryden South (205 Dryden Road) and 327 Eddy (The Dryden Eddy Apartments), are reporting unfinished common spaces and having to live temporarily in hotels, according to Rachel Cera at 14850.com.
"Since August 1st, I had to put people in hotel rooms in the Ramada and in an apartment on Eddy Street, everybody's been provided with housing, we had personal belongings stored. People have been pretty understanding, and they've been able to move in now," said Pat Kraft, owner-developer of Dryden South. Kraft was able to secure a temporary certificate of occupancy to move tenants into the building while work is finishing up.
"There's a lot of chaos in the street. The 200 block will be completely closed this week, we're setting up scaffolding today to finish the masonry. The suites are all done, the safety systems are operational, that's all good. There's minor items like window blinds and sills that had to be custom ordered after everything else was installed, so it's down to just minor cosmetic stuff. The front of the building, Labor Day hopefully [the construction crew] should be done and out of there."
Steve Fontana, the owner-developer of the Dryden Eddy Apartments, reported a similar experience.
"Our leases didn't require to put the people up, but we did anyhow. We offered a discount per day, and hotel rooms. I'm beyond upset that it's not ready, but I'm hoping this Friday. We have all our inspections and hopefully we can move them in on Friday. I coughed up some extra money to give people extra credit if they crash with friends, or stay at a hotel. I want them to be in a place where they're comfortable."
Asked what caused the delay in opening, Fontana said it had to do with elevator inspections. "The delay was primarily because of the elevator. It has to be 100% complete, including how it ties into the fire alarm. The elevator had to be completely integrated, which it wasn't just yet. The code is pretty clear, I respect the city's position, they gotta go by the codes."
On the bright side, Fontana did mention he secured a couple of tenants for the first-floor retail space of his new building. "We have a liquor store, 'Ithaca Wine and Spirits', and a coffee shop, 'Chatty Cathy', signed up for the first floor. They'll be run by the Papachryssanthou family, the same family that runs the Souvlaki House."
A couple of blocks away, Collegetown Crossing (307 College) seems to have been the lucky one out – during a visit Sunday, the building was finished and furnished, and tenants were busy moving in before the afternoon's rain.
"We were able to pull it off, we were able to move in all of our tenants as planned," said Collegetown Crossing landlord Josh Lower. "We've been working 60, 90 hours a week for a long time, there's been a lot of people putting in a lot of hours. We were able to persuade guys to do extended hours, holidays, we compensated triple time (triple hourly rate) at times. I had a good contractor, that's the important part. We had challenges that came up. The contractor did a spectacular job of delivering it on time, but also, additional money really helped," he says with a laugh.
Still, the opening of Lower's building was not without a few glitches. The long-anticipated opening of Greenstar was delayed from Wednesday the 17th to Monday the 22nd due to product delivery hang-ups created by the road construction and traffic issues, according to Greenstar marketing director Joe Romano.
With all the construction and delays, it's easy for residents to get frustrated. Dryden South's Kraft was sympathetic, but thought it would all pay off. "We'll finish soon. And the city, the utility work is very important to Collegetown, it's created some headaches but it's important. It'll make for a nicer place when it's done."

What warranties do you offer with shutters?
Most companies have been selling the PVC shutter within Brisbane for approx. 2-4 years however, they still offer a 25-year warranty…. A warranty is only as good as the company who backs it, so how can these companies offer a 25-year warranty with no history that the shutters will actually last. We are upfront with our warranties, some have a 3 year warranty (that covers every part), and we have a 20 year warranty.
Will the shutters change colour? Will they break down from the Australian UV rays? Will the shutters warp, twist?
Quite simply the answer is no. We only sell Brisbane's finest Shutters that withheld the harsh Australian climate.
Other companies advise their shutters are made in Australia are yours?
As far as we know, there are no australian made shutter materials available. Companies may advertised Australian made, but you might realise that the materials are imported from overseas and assembled here – labelling them Australian made. What's more important is the Shutter material itself – ensure you are purchasing a high quality shutter.
Will my shutters be custom made to fit my exact windows/doors?
Absolutely. Every shutter we make is made to fit the exact specific measurements of every window and door.
What colour shutters are available?
We have a large range of colours available to select from. When our team member visits you, they will have an array of colour samples for your viewing.


You must be "up to" something, Lord… because I remembered something I haven't thought about in years.
Today was "full to overflowing" with some of each.
The Thrill of Victory — the amazing conversations I had with two precious sisters-in-Christ, sisters I met only recently. They were talking to me from their respective "Sweet Spots" — that place where who they were made to BE intersects with what they were made to DO and nothing's holding them back. Both of them so different, yet so similar. Different in the one-of-a-kind work You have set before each of them — precious work that is making a tangible difference in their clients' lives, both now and for eternity. Similar in the Joy, Passion and Hope that exudes from them… because they are pointing their clients to You.
Especially when the "Who" is You, Lord.
In the aftermath of today's bad news, I remembered the testimonies I had heard just hours earlier from these two women. Women who are operating in what athletes call "The Zone." They had run into more than one "DETOUR" along the roads they had traveled. They didn't arrive at their present place of Passion via an easy road that allowed them to coast. And my own journey through Life led to some dead ends that almost killed me. That would have killed me, except for the Who I didn't yet know back then… You, Lord. The One Who didn't let my ignorance of You — even my rejection of You — be the Final Word.
Sometimes the sweetest victories are the very ones that are snatched out of the jaws of defeat… aren't they, Lord?
Praying tonight for these dear sisters, that Your anointing will help their clients achieve life-changing breakthroughs. Also praying tonight for that dear college wannabe, that Your Guiding Hand (though still unseen) will turn every detour into The Road Back Home… sooner, rather than later.
← Lord of Exclamation Points!


Most institutions and organizations have a mission statement. But what should the mission of the church be? Is there a clear and critical cause for us beyond our weekly gathering? Scripture is clear that there is an eternal cause in Christ and that we, as followers of Christ, are privileged and empowered to be a part of it.


In this section of our little Amazing Selling Machine X review site, I wanted to talk a bit about an Amazon seller account.
If you have an Amazon seller account the you know how hard it can be to sell on Amazon. In no time at all you will start to see a difference in your sales. Maybe the products that you are offering isn't what is selling right now. Wouldn't you like to know what products to sell and what is 'hot' right now in sales?
If you don't have an Amazon seller account then you will need to know how to set one up so that you will have access to millions of customers. Amazon is the number one e-commerce site on the internet. This is where you want to sell your products. You will have to have an Amazon seller account. The seller account will help you list your products, sell your products and so much more. It sounds easy, but without the help of the Amazing Selling Machine X you won't know what products are selling at Amazon. You don't want to sell things that people aren't buying. What good would that do you?
With this program you will be taught with the training course how to choose products that are big sellers at Amazon. You will learn how to run your account so that the account will work for you and not you work for the account. There is so much information packed into the selling machine training course. You will learn about drop shipping. This will allow you to purchase wholesale and not have to ship any products yourself. You will be making profit by doing drop shipping. The software is easy to understand that even a new seller can start making money with the selling machine advice.
You can get your Amazon seller account started and working for you with the software. In easy to understand steps created by Matt Clark who is known as "The Amazon Master". Matt Clark has mastered Amazon and put all this knowledge into the training course and software to help others who want to make a six figure income at Amazon. This is not a scam. Thousands of people have turned to this program and is now making money selling products at Amazon. These same people were just like you. They had products that didn't sell at Amazon until they got the selling machine program. Now they are making a six figure income.

This was a disgusting new low even for Harry Reid.
Besides bashing President Bush, Harry Reid said today on Meet the Press that the war is still lost and that there is a civil war in Iraq and Israel?
MR. GREGORY: Let me ask you about the war in Iraq. In April of 2007, this is what you said: "I believe myself that … this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything." Were you wrong?
MR. GREGORY: But you said the surge was not accomplishing anything. Even Barack Obama said last fall that it exceeded everyone's expectations and succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.
SEN. REID: Listen, at that–the time that statement was made, the surge–they weren't talking about the surge. Petraeus added to the surge some very, very interesting things that changed things. He said a lot–just simply numbers of troops is not going to do the deal. What we need to do is work with the Iraqi people, which we haven't done before. That's where the Awakening Councils came about, as a result of David Petraeus' genius. He's done–he will be written about in the history books for years to come. My original statement was in keeping what David Petraeus said; that is, the war cannot be won militarily.
MR. GREGORY: Do you believe that the war in Iraq has been lost?
MR. GREGORY: So you spoke to soon in 2007?
MR. GREGORY: You said that the war is lost. Today, in 2009, that's no longer your view?
Enemy attacks today are at an all-time low.
US fatalities and injuries are also at all-time lows.
Leave it to the top democrat in the US Senate to completely discredit our military.
Macsmind has more on Reid.
Ace finds this trick by Harry "This war is lost" Reid to be particularly galling.


A friend or family member might be going through a difficult time. This can be worrying for everyone involved.
You mightn't understand what they are going through. You might also not know how to help.
The best thing you can do is to listen to the person. You could also help them get professional help if they need it.
Try talking directly to them about your concerns. People often want to talk but find it hard to start the conversation. Most people will turn to a friend or family for support during tough times, so being there for them can help.
For many people, asking – and listening – will help. It can be a huge relief for the other person to know you are there. They may feel such relief that the problem may resolve itself by talking it out with you.
If you are still worried about them, talk to a GP.
If you have concerns that someone might be unwell, you may need to get professional help.
They may be experiencing a mental health problem. There are signs you can look out for.
If the person has used or uses a mental health service, get in touch with the community mental health team. Contact them even if the person is no longer using the service.
Ask for an appointment or ask to speak to the community mental health nurse. They will give you advice on what to do.
If the person is not linked with mental health services, encourage them to attend. You could also bring them to a GP or to the emergency department.
Find your nearest GP or hospital here.
Sometimes the person experiencing a mental health problem won't want to get help.
This can be difficult to accept when you have concerns about them. But it's usually better that they go for help themselves.
It's important for them to accept that help is necessary. Making the decision alone to get help is an important part of the recovery process.
Continue to listen to them. Let them know you are there for them. Share your concerns with them.
If you are very close to the person or living with them, it's important to mind your own mental health.
You will play a key role in your loved one's recovery.
Reconnecting with people is an important step. It's a part of a person's recovery from mental health problems.
Sometimes a person won't want to get help but are a real danger to themselves or others.
If they are thinking of harming themselves, get rid of any means of suicide or self-harm. This includes sharp items, medicines and ropes.
Stay with them while you call a GP or emergency services. Do not leave them on their own. Once you have contacted the services, go with them to their appointment.
If you feel you're at risk or have been assaulted or threatened, contact the Gardaí on 999 or 112.
A garda may try to have the person admitted to mental health services. This may be involuntarily. This will only happen if the garda thinks the person is likely to harm themselves or others. This is a last resort in a crisis situation.
A person can be admitted to a mental health service against their will. This is part of the Mental Health Act 2001.
You can get information on this and your rights from the Mental Health Commission.

The script uses DaxWalker for getting around. It sees your charged glory as the fastest way to a bank, so uses that. If you stick your glory (and other tele items) in the bank before running the script it will walk as intended.
I don't recommend blackjacking on a level 3. Simply because in the worst case, the max hit is 7. Meaning you should keep your HP at 8 or higher, which will not only be wasting food, it will also kill your xp/hour due to the the constant eating. I'd stick with master farmers for a bit longer and then do ardy knights instead. If you really want to do it: enable cautious mode, put a custom food percentage (probably at 80-90%), run away from combat instead of luring and use the regular client (not looking glass).
Just ran ardy knights for 3,5 hours on a low level account.

Your issue with the null characters is likely because you decode the entire string in one go and line returns don't decode properly.
The script queue dat files are double base64 encoded. You can decode them once, and then decode each string seperately to see the data. You could build a custom UI for this yourself. The proxies.dat look serialized and can't be reversed that easily.
Just enable shift dropping in the runescape settings and the script will automatically detect and use that.
Awesome 18 hour blackjacking proggy! (profit is off due to manual banking) made by @zoxie, thanks!
The GUI will only open when the script starts. You can't open it while it's running. Just restart the script if you want to make changes.
Master farmers can be up to 800k-1m/hour with rogue equipment and 90+ thieving.

Supreme Court Upholds Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act
Categories: Abortion
Associated Press | April 18, 2007
The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench.
The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.
Click here to read the full Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.
The opponents of the act "have not demonstrated that the Act would be unconstitutional in a large fraction of relevant cases," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.
The decision pitted the court's conservatives against its liberals, with President Bush's two appointees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, siding with the majority.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia also were in the majority.
It was the first time the court banned a specific procedure in a case over how — not whether — to perform an abortion.
Click here to read the Supreme Court case.
Abortion rights groups have said the procedure sometimes is the safest for a woman. They also said that such a ruling could threaten most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy, although government lawyers and others who favor the ban said there are alternate, more widely used procedures that remain legal.
The outcome is likely to spur efforts at the state level to place more restrictions on abortions.
More than 1 million abortions are performed in the United States each year, according to recent statistics. Nearly 90 percent of those occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and are not affected by Wednesday's ruling.
Six federal courts have said the law that was in focus Wednesday is an impermissible restriction on a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.
The law bans a method of ending a pregnancy, rather than limiting when an abortion can be performed.
"Today's decision is alarming," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in dissent. She said the ruling "refuses to take ... seriously" previous Supreme Court decisions on abortion.
Ginsburg said the latest decision "tolerates, indeed applauds, federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."
She was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens.
The procedure at issue involves partially removing the fetus intact from a woman's uterus, then crushing or cutting its skull to complete the abortion.
Abortion opponents say the law will not reduce the number of abortions performed because an alternate method — dismembering the fetus in the uterus — is available and, indeed, much more common.
In 2000, the court with key differences in its membership struck down a state ban on partial-birth abortions. Writing for a 5-4 majority at that time, Justice Breyer said the law imposed an undue burden on a woman's right to make an abortion decision.
The Republican-controlled Congress responded in 2003 by passing a federal law that asserted the procedure is gruesome, inhumane and never medically necessary to preserve a woman's health. That statement was designed to overcome the health exception to restrictions that the court has demanded in abortion cases.
But federal judges in California, Nebraska and New York said the law was unconstitutional, and three appellate courts agreed. The Supreme Court accepted appeals from California and Nebraska, setting up Wednesday's ruling.
Kennedy's dissent in 2000 was so strong that few court watchers expected him to take a different view of the current case.
