Patina Moon: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
Well, this was actually December of last year, 2008. We don't usually get snow here every year, and this snow was even melted by Christmas, but it was beautiful when it happened, especially at night, I remember sitting inside at that front window looking out watching the snow falling against the Christmas lights on the house.
I just wanted to share these "snow" photos even if it was last year, just because it looks so Christmassy!
This is actually what it looked like today, this year, about 62 degrees. The sun was warm and it felt good to read a book in the sun. Not very Christmassy, I guess, but typical in the desert. Oh well, at least I get to enjoy the many beautiful winter photographs from my fellow bloggers from all over the world.
Of course I just love your Pictures agian! I wish we would at least get some rain! Anything would be nice.
A New Year's Eve Celebration!

3rd body reportedly found in SoCal fire zone; at least 56 dead in Camp Fire in northern California
Posted 3:55 pm, November 14, 2018, by AP Wire Service, Updated at 08:28PM, November 14, 2018
MALIBU, Calif. — Authorities were investigating a report of a body found within the burn zone of a huge wildfire in Southern California, but the coroner's office was unable to confirm Wednesday whether it was burned.
Two deaths were previously linked to the weeklong blaze in Ventura and Los Angeles counties that was 47 percent contained after scorching more than 152 square miles (394 square kilometers), engulfing homes, scenic canyon getaways and celebrity estates.
The body under investigation was found in a burned residence in the Agoura Hills area. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department called it an apparent fire-related death but did not immediately have any further information.
The Woolsey fire flared before sunrise Wednesday in rugged wilderness at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains as winds buffeted parts of the region.
The flare-up sent a huge column of smoke out to sea as it burned in parklands well away from communities.
The National Weather Service said winds would slack off sufficiently during the afternoon to allow authorities to lower wildfire warnings from their highest "red flag" levels.
Forecasters cautioned, however, that low humidity levels would keep danger levels elevated.
Authorities allowed residents back into several more communities on Tuesday, including a section of Malibu. Other areas have been repopulated since the weekend. As many as 250,000 people were ordered out at the height of the fire.
Officials tempered optimism with caution, saying there were hotspots and pockets of unburned vegetation that could ignite.
"We are not out of the woods yet. We still have some incredibly tough conditions ahead of us," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said Tuesday.
The two adults found dead last week in a car overtaken by flames have not been identified.
The number of homes and other structures destroyed stood at 435 but that number was expected to rise.
More than 80 percent of National Parks Service land in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area was incinerated.
Some people who stayed behind in coastal communities that were cut off by road closures got supplies by boat. Gas, food, baby wipes and horse pellets were among the items brought ashore in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu. Some residents donned wetsuits and swam ashore with cases of water and beer.
"It's pretty cool. It's really amazing that people out there know that we're kind of stranded here in Malibu," Cherie Millford Smart said.
The area has not seen such a destructive blaze since 1993. The blaze has left an array of hazards, including trees ready to fall, downed power lines, toxins, and water main and gas leaks.
A forecast of possible rain next week would help firefighters but also raised the prospect of potential mud flows.
A new fire erupted late Tuesday about 75 miles (121 kilometers) to the east in the Fontana area of San Bernardino County, but firefighters reported good progress overnight, holding the blaze to 147 acres (59 hectares).
The cause of the Woolsey fire remained under investigation.
Downed power lines and blown transformers have been blamed for several of the deadly fires that have burned around the state in recent years.
A lawsuit was filed Tuesday over a wildfire in Northern California, where at least 56 people died in the Camp Fire that obliterated the town of Paradise. The suit on behalf of some victims accuses Pacific Gas & Electric Co. of causing the massive blaze.
A landowner near where the fire began said PG&E notified her the day before the wildfire that crews needed to come onto her property because wires were sparking.

Atlantic Council: Pro-NATO Pressure Group Uses Distortions to FIght 'Disinformation'
Written by Bryan MacDonald
Saturday June 9, 2018
Fueling hysteria about "Russian disinformation," "Russian meddling," and "Russian propaganda" has quickly become a lucrative pastime. Now NATO's Atlantic Council has gathered the leading proponents under one umbrella.
"Russian's everywhere, everywhere Russians" – that's long been the mantra of NATO's propaganda wing, the Atlantic Council. And, since 1961, the American lobby group's raison d'être has been to convince the world that Moscow presents an existential threat to the rest of Europe.
And as NATO has expanded, the "think tank's" agitprop has evolved from the "reds in the bed" whispers of the Soviet-era to today's new racket: "disinformation."
This week, Atlantic Council announced a new initiative known as the "DisinfoPortal."
Their latest wheeze is pitched as "an interactive online guide to track the Kremlin's disinformation campaigns abroad." Something you can take to mean pretty much everything which contradicts NATO-friendly messaging, whether accurate or not.
And they kicked off with a bit of classic deception of their own, right on the landing page, which announced: "in 2014, Putin invaded Ukraine, the first annexation of territory in Europe since World War II." This came replete with animated tanks powering across the image.
Of course, here Atlantic Council seems to have forgotten about the events of 1974 when (NATO member!) Turkey staged a de-facto annexation of Northern Cyprus, a military occupation which continues to this day. As it happens, the "think tank" receives money from the Turkish government, via the state-owned Turkish Petroleum Corporation.
And that's aside from whether Russia's reabsorption of the peninsula was strictly an annexation anyway, given Crimea, previously a semi-autonomous republic within Ukraine, voted to secede from Kiev after an unconstitutional armed-coup which had removed the democratically-elected central government. But we shall leave that debate to the legal experts.
According to Atlantic Council lobbyist and former Washington man in Poland Daniel Fried, "it's time to stop 'admiring the problem' of Russian disinformation and start fighting back, using the tools of democratic societies to counter the autocrat's playbook."
What makes the portal noteworthy is how it brings a multitude of "info warriors" together, from various backgrounds. Some previously operated as part of organized groups and others have apparently been freelancers. But now they are all united under one roof.
And a well-resourced parapet it is, to boot. The Atlantic Council has considerable financial muscle: its backers include NATO itself, along with the US State Department, various branches of the American military and defense contractors (such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin). All of whom, obviously, benefit from tensions with Russia. Other substantial contributors include the United Arab Emirates and the Ukrainian World Congress.
So, there's no evident shortage of cash, which has allowed them to bring more than 80 "experts" to the project. Here are some of the more colorful:
Julia Davis – Atlantic Council describes this Ukrainian-born activist as "an investigative reporter and a Russian media analyst." Which basically seems to amount to watching Russian television and tweeting about the topics it's covering on any given day, something any telly-addict Russian speaker with too much time on their hands, could manage. Before she became interested in Russia-related "info wars," Davis was better known for claiming to be a victim of US surveillance after she alleged the late actress Brittany Murphy "was caught up in a government plot against a national security whistleblower."
Eliot Higgins – A former payments officer at a women's underwear company, he first came to prominence during the early stages of the Syrian War by using open-source data to "geolocate" various events in the conflict. Higgins switched his focus to Ukraine in 2014, and was snapped up by the Atlantic Council, who made him a "fellow." A notable feature of Higgins' work is how he only seems to investigate actors who oppose British foreign policy objectives. For instance, his team has shown little interest in Yemen: a stance he put down to a "lack of resources" in a tweet he appears to have subsequently deleted. This excuse is pretty hard to believe, given how he began his Syria work when he was unemployed.
Alina Polyakova – An experienced lobbyist, the Ukrainian-born Polyakova previously steered a controversial 2016 Atlantic Council hit job which smeared dozens of respected public figures as being the Kremlin's "trojan horses." This astounding neo-McCarthyist report declared that pretty much every anti-establishment political force in Europe was an agent of Russian influence: including figures as diverse as French right-winger Marine Le Pen and socialist British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Ben Nimmo – A former NATO press officer, Nimmo grabbed headlines in April when he wrongly "outted" a genuine Twitter user as a "Russian troll." According to the self-styled 'Digital Sherlock,' @Ian56789 was a nefarious "bot." However, it later turned up out that the account was managed by a British retiree named Ian Shilling.
Brian Whitmore – A journalist-turned-lobbyist who once hosted the rapidly Russophobic "Power Vertical" podcast on US state broadcaster RFE/RL, Whitmore recently joined up with CEPA (The Center for European Policy Analysis). The primary goal of this Washington and Warsaw-based foundation is to whip up anti-Russian hysteria, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe, which have become new markets for American arms manufacturers since their accession to NATO. How appropriate then that CEPA is funded by the likes of Lockheed Martin, FireEye, Raytheon, Sikorsky Aircraft, and Bell Helicopters: information which used to be displayed on its own website but now returns a dead link!
Edward Lucas – Another CEPA "employee," Lucas enjoyed a relatively distinguished career in journalism before turning his hand to lobbying, working as an editor at The Economist and writing regularly for The Daily Mail. He still pens a column for the Times of London, but is more likely to be found these days on the European and US conference circuit warning about "dangers" from Russia.
Andrew Weisburd – One of the creators of the German Marshall Fund of the United States' (GMF) much-maligned "Hamilton 68" dashboard. Weisburd, whose Atlantic Council bio shows him posing in front of an American flag, has an "interesting" background according to Alternet, such as a "well-documented history of online vigilantism, including his founding of a one-man, anti-Palestinian web monitoring initiative that specialized in doxxing left-wing activists, Muslims, and anyone he considered "anti-American."
Michael Weiss – One of the few monolingual "experts" on the disinfo portal, Weiss arguably kicked off the current "disinformation" bandwagon with a 2014 report (co-authored by fellow lobbyist Peter Pomerantsev) on how the "Kremlin weaponises information, culture and money." Previously, Weiss worked for "Just Journalism," a London-based pressure group dedicated to smearing media workers who opposed Israeli foreign policy. Later, he joined the neo-conservative "Henry Jackson Society" before he returned to the US to found "The Interpreter," a blog which smeared media figures who refused to support American objectives in Ukraine and Russia. He regularly appears on CNN these days, analyzing Russian affairs, which has raised eyebrows because he cannot speak Russian and has, by all accounts, never actually visited Russia.

This is part XI (!) of the 3D Flyover video series of the proposed PennEast Pipeline route.
This one is a look at another one of the Important Bird Area (IBA) Avoidance Routes, specifically the one that avoids the Holland/Milford area in NJ and instead routes through Bucks County.
The potential route is in transparent red, we fly a few hundred meters above it. The route is shown in a 350′ wide zone of uncertainty, given the coarse natures of the maps provided by PennEast.
The video starts at the Delaware River and heads North. So at the very beginning we go straight up a very steep climb, then continues going up and down some modest hills. It then heads out through old growth forests, paralleling a narrow power line cut.
After a long path through forests, it gets dramatic around 2:10. There the route goes right to the very edge of the Delaware River bluffs on the PA side. Just before turning left you can see the Gilbert generating plant across the river in NJ and the Gilbert interconnect route to get to it.
The route then teeters on the very edge of the bluffs, like the Man in Black peering down from the Cliffs of Insanity.
After the bluffs, it dives into PA heading out through farm country.
It terminates at the interconnect at Route 78.
As with all of the IBA Avoidance alternatives, the routing choices are just nuts. It's clear that PennEast put nearly zero effort into the routing.

Water damage may be sudden and accidental, but it can cause immediate and long-term damage to your home and the health of your family. We are here as your policyholder advocates to handle every part of the claim process in dealing with your insurance company to get you the optimum amount from your claim.
Our public adjusters pour over every detail of your homeowners insurance policy to make sure you know what you are entitled to recover when you file a claim for water damage.
Water damage can come from storms and floods or from a frozen and burst pipe. Within moments, the ceilings, walls, and floors of your home can be damaged along with expensive electrical systems. Also, the moisture from water damage can lead to mold growth, making your home unsafe. The immediate need to clean up and control as much damage as possible may delay you in the beginning, but organizing a plan for the handling of your water damage claim will be vital to your recovery.

Our team of public adjusters will work on your behalf and negotiate with your insurance company for a maximum water damage claim recovery. As your trusted advisors, we are fluent in insurance policy terms and conditions. We will evaluate and document your property's water damage in full detail to make sure you receive the optimum amount to recover. Because of our experience successfully negotiating water damage claims, we are the public adjusters Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Puerto Rico policyholders rely on to recover more, sooner.
Water. Nothing is more essential. Yet nothing can be more destructive. In this edition we look at two of the ways that happens.

Mysterious Object to Pass the Earth, Not Identified as an Asteroid
Shusree Mukherjee
Reports suggests that a mysterious object is to pass the earth safely. However, it is not a true UFO. Astronomers are trying their best to track this visitor. Moreover, from September, there have been spotting of some mysterious elements from the Hawaii observation station.
Mysterious object to past the earth
At first, the mysterious object was speculated as an asteroid. However, the scientists at NASA said that it can be a piece of junk left over from an early exploration to the space.
As per the research update reported on November 12, the object is not like an asteroid. NASA officials continued to state that it can be a Centaur upper stage rocket booster that helped the Surveyor 2 spacecraft go towards the Moon in 1966.
The officials also said that the 2020 SO's orbit doesn't look like a typical asteroid. But it resembles something that originated from the planet. With the help of computer modeling, the team speculates that it can be related to the launch of 1966.
Soon after the lift-off, the Surveyor 2 separated from the Centaur upper-stage booster. Although this step was planned, the spacecraft lost control when one thruster didn't ignite. It started spinning and crashed onto the moon while landing southeast of Copernicus crater on September 23, 1966. The Centaur upper-stage rocket sailed past our moon and then vanished into an orbit around the Sun.
According to researchers, the object has been in the Earth's orbit before as well. However, the recent one was a close flyby and at a close proximity of around 1/7th from the distance of the moon. Thus, sky watchers will get a close look into the object and will confirm the theory of the rocket orbiting to be true.

According to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA, the object is 15-30 feet wide. It will flyby closely during the early Tuesday morning.

Cassy devises a plan to make Legree think that ghosts haunt the garret of the house. Then she and Emmeline conspicuously attempt an escape, running from the house and into the nearby swamp. The overseers order a hunt, and while the household searches for the women, they slip back into the house and into the garret, where Cassy has been hoarding food and supplies. Cassy and Emmeline can remain safely in the garret, for Legree and the others will attribute any noises they make to the "ghosts" and will never dare to venture upstairs to investigate.
Unable to act on his fury over Cassy and Emmeline's escape, Legree directs his wrath toward Tom. He suspects that Tom knows something about the women's plan and sends for him for questioning.
He tells Tom that he will kill him if Tom does not tell him what he knows about the women's escape, but Tom says that he would rather die than speak. Legree pauses for a moment, as if good and evil were battling inside his heart, but evil wins. Legree beats Tom all night, and then he orders Sambo and Quimbo, the overseers, to continue the beating. Tom prays and remains pious to the end, touching Sambo and Quimbo's hearts. They believe him when he tells them of Jesus. Tom prays that their hearts can be saved.
Two days later, George Shelby, Mr. Shelby's son, arrives at Legree's plantation. He has spent much time searching for his beloved former slave after the death of his father. George finds Tom near death, but Tom is delighted to see "Mas'r George" after their long separation, and he dies a contented man. George takes Tom's body and tells Legree that he will have him tried for murder. Legree points out that no whites witnessed the flogging, and thus the case could not go to court. George strikes him and knocks him to the ground. The other slaves plead with him to buy them, but he cannot. As he leaves, he resolves to do all he can to abolish slavery.
Cassy, disguised as a Creole Spanish lady, escapes from the plantation with Emmeline. They board the same boat as George Shelby, who notices Cassy. Fearing that he sees through her disguise, she tells him everything. George promises to protect her to the best of his abilities. The passenger in the next cabin, a French woman named Madame de Thoux, asks George questions about his home and realizes that George Harris, Eliza's husband, is her brother. Madame de Thoux was born into slavery like her brother, but she was later sold to a kind man who took her to the West Indies, set her free, and married her. Her husband died only recently. Cassy, too, has listened to George Shelby's story, and when she hears his description of Eliza, she realizes that Eliza may be her daughter.
Cassy, Emmeline, and Madame de Thoux travel to Montreal, where George and Eliza Harris are living. George works in a machinist's shop, and Eliza has given birth to a second child, a daughter. The five reunite with tears and joy. Madame de Thoux's husband has recently died and left her a great fortune, which she offers to the family. From Canada, they sail to France, where they live for a few years before returning to the United States. In a letter to one of his friends, George advocates the immigration of blacks to Liberia, a West African nation founded by private organizations and the U. S. government in order to resettle freed slaves. George and his family immigrate to Liberia and are not heard from again.

Bear with me on this review, it's my first ever. You know, excluding little two sentence things on GoodReads.
I'm Kate. Hi. I like to read and write and sail and sew and play my viola. I'm @becauseofpercyjackson on instagram, so come check out my account if you're a fellow PJO/HoO lover ;). Anyways, I'll be reviewing stuff on here too, and although I'm no experienced blogger like Isabel (two years! Wow!) I'm really excited to start and get involved in all this stuff. So yeah, hi!
Along with this being my first review ever, this was the first ARC I've ever read. So that's unbelievably cool.
Okay, about the book. It's the first in a new two-book series by the author of Pretty Little Liars. Two books is a definite relief, as PLL is going on it's 16th book and is to the point where I JUST WANT IT TO END. Just like PLL, it's a murder mystery, told from the point of view of girls trying to figure out who did the crime, of course while trying not to be suspected themselves. Because they didn't do it… right?
Each girl comes from very different family lives, and each has their own host of problems in their lives. Mackenzie was an ok character, but I feel like she was the weakest out of all of them. I feel like the author just added her in so there wouldn't be the same amount of girls as in Pretty Little Liars. Caitlin was the most relatable, with her rethinking her life and wondering why soccer meant so much to her and dealing with her little brother's suicide. She's also had the greatest motive against Nolan. Ava was interesting to read from, but she's kind of slow on the uptake with some things *cough* don't do that you're stupid *cough*. Julie was very interesting, as you don't find out fully about her family issues until later in the book. She also doesn't wallow on her problems and instead tries to help others with theirs. Parker was the most mysterious, but immediately you can tell that she's been through a lot and is having a hard time staying strong. But she can stick up for herself like nobody's business.
The main characters were overall good, but there were SO MANY secondary characters. Each girl had their own family and friends and boyfriend and it was very hard to keep track of them all. But that's to be expected with a mystery, I guess. There's got to be lots of suspects.
Plot: 4/5 it kept me interested, and now I really want to find out who did it. It's very quick paced, and spends a good balance of time between the girls's individual problems and the mystery as a whole.
World Building: 3/5 I feel like I get Beacon Heights as a whole, but it would be better if the author had included a little more information on the town.
Writing: 4/5 Could use some more details, but you definitely know what's going on at all times. The dialogue doesn't show much emotion, and I wish I could feel more of what the characters were feeling.
In Beacon Heights, Washington, five high school seniors- Mackenzie, Ava, Caitlin, Julie, and Parker- are each driven to be perfect in their own ways. They think they have nothing in common, until they discover that their rich, entitled classmate Nolan has done terrible things to all of them. As a joke, they come up with the perfect way to murder him. It's a hypothetical murder, of course… until they wake up one morning to find that Nolan was killed, in exactly the way they planned. The thing is, they didn't do it. Suddenly prime suspects in his murder, the girls scramble to find the real killer before their perfect lives come crushing down around them.

Watch: Aerial Footage Catches Man Stopping at a Drive Thru -- While Being Chased By Police
An Arizona man recently led police on a bizarre low speed chase.
Johnny Liberty
Chandler, AZ - In a scene that seems straight out of a Hollywood satire film, an Arizona man was caught on video going through an In-N-Out drive thru while he was involved in a "low speed" chase with police.
According to reports, police attempted to stop the 35-year-old burger-loving suspect just before 10:30 pm. The suspect then fled at low speeds, leading police on a chase through South Phoenix into East Valley. The chase then took a strange turn when the suspect pulled into the In-N-Out Burger location near Chandler Boulevard and Ray Road.
While sitting in the drive thru, the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Josh Adkins, appears to order food before pulling away several minutes later.
After leaving the restaurant parking lot, Adkins reportedly exited his vehicle and attempted to flee through backyards, where he was pursued and eventually surrendered to officers.
According to police, Adkins was arrested and charged with suspicion of unlawful flight from law enforcement, aggravated assault-domestic violence, and unlawful imprisonment.
While this chase may seem humorous and thankfully ended peacefully, sadly this is more often than not an exception to the rule. As The Free Thought Project previously reported, a shocking study has found that, on average, one person every day is killed or injured during a high-speed chase.
According to the study, more than 5,000 bystanders and passengers have been killed in police car chases since 1979. Tens of thousands more were injured as officers repeatedly pursued drivers at high speeds and in hazardous conditions.
Even more shocking, is the fact that, according to the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Institute of Justice, a whopping 91 percent of high-speed chases are in response to non-violent crime; most of which involve only minor traffic infractions.
These statistics are yet further proof that there is no law so trivial that the police will not kill you to enforce it. As America slips further into a dystopian nightmare, it's time for people to wake up to the reality of what policing has become in 2016.

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. – Piedmont blues is a genre of the blues named for the region in the United States between the Appalachians and the Atlantic.
Valerie and Ben Turner, the acoustic duo Piedmont Bluz, will present a program at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus of Manchester University.
The Turners are dedicated to preserving the rural country blues of African-Americans in the Carolinas, Virginia and Tennessee and educating their audiences. They do this by putting their performances into the historical context of the Piedmont style. This takes listeners back to the 1920s and 1930s.
Valerie sings vocals, and plays guitar, spoons and banjo. Ben plays the washboard, bones and harmonica. Here is an example of their music.
The Turners' work has been influenced by Piedmont musicians Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis and John Cephas.
This event is sponsored by the Values, Ideas and Arts Committee at the University.

Our Former New Jersey Deputy Attorney General has handled hundreds of ABC cases. Let us put our experience to work for you.
NJ ABC Seeks To Revoke Liquor License for Violation of Governor's COVID-19 Orders
The Attorney General announced that the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Bureau was seeking to revoke the liquor license owned by Billings, Inc., trading as Post Time Pub, located in Blairstown, New Jersey. According to the charges issued by the ABC Enforcement Bureau, Post Time Pub serve alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption on March 27 and April 2 in violation of Governor Murphy's emergency orders related to COVID-19. Normally, a violation of an Order would only carry a 10-day suspension. However, because the Executive Order signed by Governor Murphy was issued during a declared State of Emergency, the violation allegedly "poses an imminent threat to the public health, safety and welfare."
Executive Order 107, which incorporated and superseded Executive Order 104 issued by Governor Murphy on March 16, permitted bars and restaurants to remain open as essential businesses but only for take-out or delivery services of food and alcohol. Guidelines issued by ABC clarified that under the Executive Order 107, no licensee with a retail consumption privilege is permitted to sell, serve or deliver alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption.
In the filing, ABC's Enforcement Bureau stated that local police observed owner Billings serving what appeared to be alcohol to a patron in her bar. After issuing Billings a summons and warning her that her conduct violated Governor Murphy's emergency directives, police again observed Billings serving patrons on April 2.
What Happens if the Revoke a Liquor License in New Jersey?
Generally, once a license is "revoked", the license ceases to exist. That means that no one else can purchase or use the license. For municipalities that have already reached their "population cap", they will not be able to issue a new license to replace the revoked license. Furthermore, Alcoholic Beverage Control Laws prohibit any person who has an interest in an alcoholic beverage license which is revoked from having any interest in any other license for a period of two years from the effective date of revocation. Therefore, if a license is revoked, the individuals who have an interest in that license must immediately divest the interest in any other licenses that they held. Additionally, a second revocation forever prohibits a person from having any interest in an alcoholic beverage license in New Jersey.

An Accomplished Woman: Holiday Planning #2 and Menu Week Ending December 9th.
Holiday Planning #2 and Menu Week Ending December 9th.
This week, I am finishing decorating as the hubby comes on Friday and we are decorating outside this weekend. My gifts are wrapped and ready for Christmas. This is the last week of teaching and I am ready to put 100 percent into the holiday season.
So this week is dedicated to baking or rather cookie dough making. I have two little girls coming next week to decorate cookies. They are super excited but I am more excited than they are to decorate cookies. My favorite memories of my children and their friends is decorating cookies.
We start with putting all the dry ingredients together in Ziploc bags.
The next step is to prepare the bags and wax paper to put the cookie dough in once it is prepared.
The night before, I lay out the eggs and butter so it will be room temperature by the morning.
Thursday morning, I will start with the lightest cookie dough and work to the darkest cookie dough. For example, start with the sugar cookie dough, next snicker doodles, heath cookies, chocolate chip up to the chocolate cookie. Why? Because if you have a bowl scraper, you do not need to wash the bowl between cookies. WHAT!!! No I do not wash between the cookies. The bowl scraper does an excellent job of getting rid of all the cookie dough. I do not even wash the beater. Shocking… I know.
Lastly, I wrap the cookie dough into rolls in wax paper. Then store them in Ziploc bags in the freezer. This way I have cookie dough ready to bake on December 23rd. We deliver fresh cookies on December 24th. I put the recipes in the Ziploc bags so we can easily bake them. My ovens can bake 6 trays at a time.
I am also making all the Chex party mix, spicy pecans and half of the marshmallows this week. I deliver marshmallows to all the employees of my favorite hair salon, postmen and delivery men. They are so funny and look forward to this special treat. During the holiday season, I make 10 double batches of marshmallows.


In this dissertation, the cooperative multi agent search and coverage problem in uncertain environments is investigated. Each agent individually plans its desired trajectory. The agents exchange their positions and their sensors' measurement with their neighbouring agents through a communication channel in order to maintain the cooperation objective.
Different aspects of multi agent search and coverage problem are investigated. Several models for uncertain environments are proposed and the updating rules for the probability maps are provided. Each of this models is appropriate for a specific type of problems. The cooperative search mission is first converted to a decentralized multi agent optimal path planning problem, using rolling horizon dynamic programming approach which is a mid-level controller. To make cooperation between agents possible, two approximation methods are proposed to modify the objective function of agents and to take into the account the decision of other agents. The simulation results show the proposed methods can considerably increase the performance of mission without significantly increasing the computation burden. This approach is then extended for the case with known communication delay between mobile agents. The simulation results show the proposed methods can compensate for the effect of known communication delay between mobile agents. A Voronoi-based search strategy for a team of mobile agents with limited range sensors is also proposed which combines both mid-level and low-level controllers. The strategy includes the short-term objective of maximizing the uncertainty reduction in the next step, the long-term objective of distributing the agents in the environment with minimum overlap in their sensory domain, and the collision avoidance constraint. The simulation results show the proposed control law can reduce the value of uncertainty in the environment below any desired threshold.
For the search and coverage problem, we first introduce a framework that includes two types of agents; search agents and coverage agents. The problem is formulated such that the information about the position of the targets is updated by the search agents. The coverage agents use this information to concentrate around the more important areas in the environment. The proposed cooperative search method, along with a well-known Centroidal Voronoi Configuration method for coverage, is used to solve the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by simulation and experiment. We then introduce the "limited turn rate Voronoi diagram" and formulate the search and coverage problem as a multi-objective optimization problem with different constraints which is able to consider practical issues like minimum fuel consumption, refueling, obstacle avoidance, and collision avoidance. In this approach, there is only one type of agents which performs both search and coverage tasks. The "multi agent search and coverage problem" is formulated such that the "multi agent search problem" and "multi agent coverage problem" are special cases of this problem. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Three-Fourths Of MACHINE HEAD's 'Burn My Eyes' Lineup To Reunite For 25th-Anniversary Tour
Three-fourths of MACHINE HEAD's "Burn My Eyes" lineup will reunite to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the classic debut album by performing the record on tour.
Joining guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern will be returning members Logan Mader (guitarist) and Chris Kontos (drums).
So far, two dates have been leaked, both in Italy:
Oct. 25 - Trezzo Sull'adda (MI) - Live Club
Oct. 26 - Padova - Hall
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, March 29.
Released worldwide on August 8, 1994, "Burn My Eyes" was and still is considered to be one of the most important albums of its genre, garnering the band an unprecedented level of recognition and spawning a myriad of imitators — all from just MACHINE HEAD's first record.
"We really loved PANTERA and SEPULTURA, but we also started getting into BIOHAZARD," Flynn said in a 2007 interview. "Their guitarist Bobby Hambel was like Slash to us. He was a total fucking rock star. They were mixing hardcore with hip-hop beats and grooves and there was nothing else it. When we wrote 'Burn My Eyes', I was actually listening to more hardcore, hip-hop or industrial shit like NEUROSIS than actual metal."
Flynn said that "a big chunk" of "Burn My Eyes" was written with PAPSMEAR singer-turned-drummer Tony Costanza, who stepped in because Kontos, then still a member of ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and GRINCH, didn't have time to devote to MACHINE HEAD.
"Tony was from Vegas and he had heard of us and was like, 'Dude, I'll come out right now,'" original MACHINE HEAD bassist Adam Duce said. "We wrote eight songs with him. But then he left because he lacked experience and there were also some personal problems between him and some of the other guys. At the same time, Chris started to gain interest again, and he was the one we wanted in the first place. Tony quit because he felt like he was going to be fired. So, then Chris came back and worked on the record with us."
Asked by Metal Hammer if it bothers him that some fans still regard "Burn My Eyes" as MACHINE HEAD's best album, Flynn said: "No. The clincher for me, and this rarely happens, is when someone says, 'You should write 'Burn My Eyes' again,' but it'd be so phony! I'm not 24, fuckin' running around on the streets. It was real and that's why it came out the way it did. If I tried to do it now, it wouldn't be real. Those times made me who I am and affected me forever and I'm fearless because of them, but I'd like to think that I've aged gracefully and I hope to continue to do that. How dumb would it be for some [50]-something dude to be acting like some teenage gangster? It'd be ridiculous."
Kontos left MACHINE HEAD before the release of the band's second album, 1997's "The More Things Change", and was replaced by Dave McClain.
McClain and guitarist Phil Demmel exited MACHINE HEAD last fall.
When he announced his departure from MACHINE HEAD, Demmel, who first played with Flynn in VIO-LENCE in the late 1980s and early 1990s, said in a statement saying that it was "simply time" for him "to step away and do something else musically." He later revealed in an interview that he was minimally involved in the making of MACHINE HEAD's latest album, 2018's "Catharsis", a record that he said he hated. He also said that MACHINE HEAD gradually "became a Robb Flynn solo project, and that isn't what I signed up for."
Duce, who played bass on "Burn My Eyes", was fired from MACHINE HEAD in February 2013. He was replaced four months later by MacEachern. Adam later sued MACHINE HEAD, claiming that the other bandmembers "simply kicked him out of the band and presumed he would forget about over two decades of hard work, dedication, and effort" he put into the group. Duce also said his likeness was used on the band's web site and in promotions without his authorization. The lawsuit was settled out of court in July 2014.

People who use English as a Second Language (ESL) often fail to distinguish between words that are homophones (pronounced the same) but have different meanings. Also, they often tend to pronounce and use some common words/phrases without having the knowledge of their proper meanings and usage. Keeping these things in mind, this workshop has been designed for participants to have a clear understanding in the type of common mistakes they make in daily conversation so they can avoid miscommunication.
Learners will work in pairs on some pictures. The activity will engage learners to describe the picture they are holding (two pictures for a pair with some similarities) to their partner. Trainer will observe each pair and occasionally correct their pronunciation and grammar.
Complete powerpoint presentation will be made in 3 parts with hands-on activities to be done in the middle so it doesn't get monotonous. Trainer will discuss about some common phrases and words to distinguish their meanings and usage. Trainer will also encourage participants to engage in discussion.
Learners will work in groups of 3 or 4. TRAINER will label each group with a letter, e.g. group A, group B etc. Each group will be provided with a worksheet (different for each group) where they will see some sentences containing mistakes (sentences will be easy but misleading). All the members in the groups will discuss and correct each sentence on the sheet. Once all the groups have done it, Trainer will ask each group to say the sentences they have (with mistakes). One member can read out one sentence in turn. While one group members are reading their sentences, other groups will listen and try to correct the sentence orally. The group that corrects the sentence first will get one point (Trainer will write the points on the board). The group getting the highest number of marks will be declared the winner.
This presentation will cover more examples of common mistakes and tips to avoid them. Pronunciation tips may also be given.
Trainer will give each learner a blank sheet. Each learner will write his/her name at the top of the sheet and leave it at their desk. Now each learner will stand up and go to other learners' sheet in turn (except their own) and write a good thing about that learner (a learner may guess in case s/he doesn't know the learner s/he is writing about). This way all the learners will get a number of sentences praising them. Trainer will ask each learner to read out the sentences they have got.

/ News / Kerala Tourism wins Golden Gate award in Germany
Updated: 08-Mar-2015
Kerala Tourism's popular global multimedia campaign to promote the backwaters has won the Golden Gate award at the Internationale Tourismus-Borse Berlin (ITB-Berlin) – 2015, the world's leading travel trade event.
The state tourism department bagged the silver prize at the Das Golden Stadttor (Golden Gate) Awards presented in the German capital on Thursday night.
Tourism secretary G. Kamala Vardhana Rao, who is leading the state tourism delegation at the ITB 2015, and Suman Billa, joint secretary in the union tourism ministry and former state tourism secretary, received the prize at the ceremony in Berlin.
Conceptualised by Kerala Tourism's creative and marketing agency Stark Communications, 'The Great Backwaters' campaign had won the Golden Gate Gold Prize in the Print category at the ITB-Berlin last year.
Earlier, Kerala Tourism had won the Golden Gate Silver Prize for the hugely successful 'Your Moment is Waiting' ad campaign in the print category.
Presented every year at the ITB-Berlin, Golden Gate Awards, dubbed the 'Oscar in tourism communication', is considered the ultimate recognition in global tourism communication.
The awards, in its 14th year, provides worldwide attention to the tourism industry.
"We are honoured by the remarkable recognition for the Great Backwaters Campaign at the world's biggest travel trade event," said Kerala Tourism Minister A.P.Anilkumar.
"The honour in Berlin will inspire us to promote our state further across the world. Our efforts are aimed at promoting Kerala in the most creative and effective way to a larger global audience," Anilkumar added.

I'll blog the keynote news as it happens, with color commentary from special guest Doug Aamoth of Techland. Tens of thousands of folks attended our last Apple live coverage (the iPad 2 announcement), but we'll save room for you. Join us at technologizer.com/wwdc11–and go there now to sign up for an e-mail reminder if you like.


Make your golden years the best ones of your life! You spent years toiling away at your job, doing everything everybody else's way instead of your own. Now is the time of your life to break out of that habit to do and learn all the things you've always wanted.
It's important to keep learning new things as we age. Learning makes life more interesting and just plain better. Picking up new skills and information helps keep our minds sharp and improves cognitive function. Trying out new stuff also helps us stay social, which can prevent isolationism and depression. Boosting your brainpower helps you feel younger and happier. If you want to take advantage of all the benefits of picking up something new to do in your life, consider the following fun skills that are perfect for seniors.
Dance is the perfect exercise for seniors. It helps you get in the doctor recommended daily 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, which burns calories and promotes a stronger and healthier heart. It promotes balance and mobility while being low impact on your joints. If you want to be more social, taking dance classes gives you a fun opportunity to do something new with friends or loved ones or it can help introduce you to new people. If you prefer doing new things on your own, online dance tutorials can teach you from the comfort of your own home. You can pick up new dance moves from around the world be it from salsa, tango, jazz, martial arts style… whatever you fancy! There's no wrong way to approach this fun and active hobby.
If you've always wanted to fill your home with music, learning to play an instrument is an incredibly rewarding skill that you can pick up in your free time. Taking up a new instrument is a great way to take care of your mental health as you age. It improves cognitive function and may create alternate connections in the brain that make up for the natural decline it goes through with time. Making music is also connected to lowering blood pressure and heart rate. People that play music feel less anxious and depressed and there is even evidence that it may help improve your immune system. If you want to learn to play a new instrument, take your time figuring out how to pick the best one for you. For instance, if you are looking into learning the saxophone, a beginner's model alto or soprano may be a better fit if you have trouble lifting heavy objects. This saxophone buying guide may prove useful for picking the right instrument.
There are numerous benefits to cooking your own food. It's a healthy habit that allows you to control the ingredients and portions to fit your needs. It helps save money on a fixed budget and encourages you to really think about what you are putting in your body. Best of all, you get a feeling of accomplishment when you sit down to savor every last bit of a meal your created. If you have beginner or even moderate cooking skills, you will find that taking lessons can really open up new culinary doors for you. While your community center or grocery store probably offers special classes that provide hands on teaching, you can also find free cooking classes and recipes online that you can experiment with in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Make the most of your retirement when you spend your free time learning something new. Picking up skills as we age helps improve mental health as well as overall life quality. Try something you've always wanted like dance lessons that keep you active and social. Learning a new instrument fills your home with music and keeps you feeling happier. If you've always wanted to be a wiz in the kitchen, cooking classes can help elevate your skills with the added bonus of a delicious dish at the end.


It's finally March, the Spring is here and those dark winter days are long becoming distant memories (if not for all the snow and sub-zero temperatures). But whilst the weather might be broken, there is one constant that cannot be taken away. And that of course being St Patrick's Day! We're not too big on stereotypes here in the ole emerald isle begorrah! But there's nothing we like more than good music (and maybe a sociable drop of the small stuff to loosen our ears and liven the spirits). And on the 16th (yeah it's not technically Paddy's Day but we all have to get up for work on the 18th) Jameson are putting on a pretty impressive celebration in Vicar Street. Jameson St. Patrick's LIVE, a night dedicated to celebrating the countries very finest, will see not one, not two but three of Ireland's most promising bands take to the stage at Vicar Street. Headlining duties on the night fall to Little Green Cars, a band who've tasted success both here at home and abroad with singles such as 'The John Wayne' and 'Harper Lee'. With a follow-up to the critically renowned 'Absolute Zero' due to for release later on this year it's fair to speculate that some new material may be trialed on the night. Support duties fall to Delorentos and We Cut Corners who both picked up nominations in this years Choice Music Prize for best album. As two of the countries premier live bands Jameson St. Patrick's Live promises to be a very special gig.

Zachary Lucky
In Music Reviews
Midwestern
Wroxton Recordings
What I took away from Ken Burns series Country Music, was that there has always been a tension between what the folks on Music Row think people want and what people out of the periphery are actually playing. Burns illustrates how musicians playing a less glossy form of country had to take refuge in Austin or Bakersfield to find their groove.
There is nothing Nashville about Midwestern. Zachary Lucky is a road warrior from Saskatchewan who recorded his fourth album live in the studio to capture the spontaneity and intimacy of a small dance-hall gig out on the prairie. Lucky has a world-weary baritone that reminds me a bit of Warren Zevon. His band provides sympathetic, understated settings for songs about working people and adulting.
Midwestern is primarily an album about coming to terms with responsibilities. The opening track, "There Was A Time When I Used to Roam" sets the tone. Lucky sings about his days of living on the road and how he thought he'd be playing one night stands forever. He sounds wistful for those days and astonished that he willing gave them up. "Rock and Roll Dad" finds Lucky singing about actually liking mundane things like getting the kids off to school and getting to work on time. This being responsibly thing isn't all that bad. The record closes with "Sometimes I Wonder (How I Got This Far)". It is the rambler from that opening song looking back in amazement that he's still around.
I like the way "No Shame In Working Hard" gives dignity to the people doing the jobs that have to be done. He sings about how there's nothing wrong with swinging a hammer or driving a truck. Lucky sings about blue-collar life in a matter of fact manner. It doesn't feel like he's trying to make a point. He's not being defensive or standing up to coastal elites like his Nashville cousins. He's just pointing out the obvious, that there is dignity in doing the unsexy work that needs to be done.
"Revelation Blues" is an interesting take on the emerging climate crisis. Lucky sings, "Things keep changing, why the hell are we staring at our phones?" Lucky checks off floods, fires, melting ice caps and poisoned water, then wonders if things might still work out. The chorus is a bit more pessimistic. "I ain't a believer, but I can't deign the truth. The end times are coming. I've got the Revelation Blues."
I think Ken Burns would like Midwestern. It's country music from well outside the industry's mainstream. It's stories about real people doing what they have to do, told in with honesty and dignity. There certainly is no shame in that.

UrbanClap is India's leading marketplace for local services. It's a one stop destination for all urban lifestyle services helping users hire any professional, from sofa cleaners and carpenters to real estate lawyers, architects, dieticians and more.
Audience Segmentation - RevX's DMP technology helped build real-time user cohorts based on various attributes such as location, affinity to service category and booking history.
Dynamic Ads for Hyperlocal Services - RevX leveraged its dynamic ad technology and custom creative templates to create personalized ads specifically designed for hyperlocal marketplace use cases.
100% Transparency - The technology fee model took arbitrage out of the picture and aligned UrbanClap and RevX interests, resulting in a strong collaborative relationship. While initially the CPA driven by RevX was slightly higher than target, overtime, the CPA decreased and scale increased as the system learnt and collected data and accrued these learnings to optimize for UrbanClap's CPA rather than RevX's margin (refer graph below).

Q: How do I print the next common element in a string? I wrote a program that finds a common letter in a string, I intend to print that letter, and the letter that is the second most common, how do I achieve that?
Here's my code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <time.h>

 #define MAX 10
 #define MAX_FREQ 256
int main()
{
    char string[MAX] = {0};

    int i = 0;
    int freq[MAX_FREQ] = {0};

    printf("Enter a String: ");
    fgets(string, MAX, stdin);
    if(string[strlen(string)-1] == '\n') {string[strlen(string)-1] = 0;}

    for(i = 0; string[i]; i++)
    {
        freq[string[i]]++;
    }

    for(i = 0; i < MAX_FREQ; i++)
    {
        if(freq[i])
        {
            printf("Most common: %c, 2nd most common: %c\n", i, i-1);
        }
    }
    return (0);
}

Thanks.

A: I think the comments in the code will be enough for you to understand.
// max - most common, snd - second most common
int max_freq = 0, snd_freq = 0;
char max_char, snd_char;

// iterate through frequency array
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_FREQ; i++)
{
    if (freq[i] > max_freq)
    {
        /*
         * we had a previous max_freq that satisfied max_freq > snd_freq
         * since we found a new freq > max_freq, we'll change snd_freq as well
         * to max_freq
         * order: freq[i] > max_freq > snd_freq
        */

        snd_freq = max_freq;
        max_freq = i; //it'll be converted, don't worry

        snd_char = max_char;
        max_char = str[i];
    }
    else if (freq[i] > snd_freq)
    {
        snd_freq = freq[i];
        snd_char = i;
    }
}

// print most and second most common characters
printf("%c %c", max_char, snd_char);

A: use code like below one:-
int max = INT_MIN , max2 = INT_MIN,maxi,max2i; //using <limits.h>
for(i = 0; i < MAX_FREQ; i++)
{

    if(max<=freq[i])
    {
        max = freq[i];
        maxi =i;
    }

    if(freq[i]<=max && freq[i]=>Max && max1i! =i)
    {max2 = freq[i];
      max2i = i;
     }
}

now you can easily use max1i and max2i index to print those characters
