Soft and comfortable, Fit was perfect and good quality of materials. Thanks ApparelnBags.
Warmth and comfortable. Few pockets are irrelevant except the front they are fine.
I ordered this for my husband and he loved it although it was not upto my expectations.
My son ordered it it to me and I always wear 2X but this was too small felt like 2x. I love the way it made but I wish I could be a good size.
The jacket is exactly what I expected. Being a big guy sizing varies quite a bit and is always a risk.
I wasnt pleased with the quality of this jacket. I expected something different. This wasnt warm enough, heavy enough for what I was hoping for.
The mesh on the inside kind of sticks to your skin other than that its perfect.

While driving towards Jasper from Hinton, one would not miss an impressive rock face on the right (west) side, and that's the East face of The Palisade. This is one of the lowest summits in Victoria Cross Range, but just like the nearby Skyline area, anything on V. C. Range involves a long slog up one of the approach trails. For this one it's the Pyramid Fire Road. This road brought up some good memories from June 2013 when Eric, Ben and I started at 1:30 am and did this entire approach in dark, the start of 21-hour epic 1-day traverse of 4 peaks. This time I visited in March on snowshoes so everything except for the length would be different.
After waking up in miserable weather in Jasper townsite I decided to sleep in till whenever I wanted. Eventually I (somehow) managed to drag myself up. After a quick breakfast in A&W I drove up Pyramid Road. The last 2 km passing the Lodge was covered with fresh snow and I was the first one arriving at the parking lot on this day. With not-so-good spirit I started the long trek, with snowshoes in my backpack. The first 1.5 km or so was contouring around Pyramid Lake without gaining elevation. The road was essentially a cross country ski route so gets maintained often. It was rock hard so I figured it's more efficient to boot the initial flat section. Once starting to gain elevation I strapped the 'shoes on for extra traction. I was fully aware of the boredness so brought my iPod with full battery. That was crucial for surviving the hours and hours of foot numbing walk. With musics on time went by pretty fast and in short time I arrived at a smaller lake. By now the weather had improved significantly and I could see blue sky above.
The groomed track stopped at shortly below the Y-junction, but luckily I was able to pick up a set of old snowshoe tracks which saved a lot of energy. Based on the post-holing suffer fest the day before I wasn't really looking forward to any sort of trail-breaking on this day. At the Y-junction the snowshoe tracks turned right towards Palisade Lookout which was very good. But soon enough they stopped and I was left to my own. Thankfully the snowpack was way better in this area than in Willmore. The snowshoe penetration was about 10-20 cm and post-holing was minimal. But this section seemed to be freakin' long. It's only 3.5 km from the junction to Palisade Lookout but it was endless. Towards the end I followed this road climber's right of an impressive rock face. There's supposed to be a "Lookout" somewhere near the edge but I didn't spend time looking for it. Here's also the official end of this road/trail. The true summit of The Palisade lies near 2 km down the ridge.
The road led me climber's right around this rock face. (Or, probably the previous one I don't remember exact).
Though strenuous, the last 2 km's ridge traverse was definitely the highlight of the entire trip. Firstly I contoured around the obvious rock face and found a break to re-ascend back to ridge crest. After that the rest would be simply following the ridge up, but getting to the true summit involved a fair amount of bushwhacking and post-holing. The ridge also narrowed down quite a bit higher up and on each side there were steep loaded slopes waiting to slide. I was forced to stay on the ridge crest overcoming tight and bushy sections, and higher up, big cornices here and there. And there were numerous false summits. Every time I thought the next one must be the true summit it turned out to be another false one… But on the other hand, weather held up nicely and I was awarded with some awesome views with the Colin Range stealing the show. Storms were hovering around Maligne and Parkway area throughout the entire day but blue sky and sunshine were above me and towards east. Pyramid Mountain marked the boundary between the two systems and I was happy to be just a couple km's east of the boundary..
Snow, clouds, and blue sky.
What a view point here..
Mt. Colin looks cool. Someday..
Ahead is the true summit.
Panorama of Athabasca River Valley from the summit. Click to view large size.
Chetamon Mountain was shy to show up on this day.
Roche Jasques would be interesting to explore. Like many Jasper peaks there's no beta.
After a short energy break on the summit I started down. As usual going down was much easier and faster and in no time I was back to the road. Now it was time to turn iPod on again. I wasn't looking forward to the return but at least it went by pretty fast. Once joining the groomed section I put the snowshoes away and walked down the rest. Near the end I re-entered the storm and Jasper was soaked pretty badly… My round trip time was 8.5 hours on a fast pace.
And, this was the weather in Jasper….
For fit parties this is a worthy objective in high avalanche period. After slogging 3-4 hours up a boring fire road you'd be rewarded with a scenic ridge traverse for 2 km horizontally. I'd also recommend skiing it if you can negotiate some tight, narrow and bushy sections. Skiing down the fire road would be a blast!

Q: Parse with Swift - If Contains Channel I'm using Parse for push notifications with Swift.  I'm trying to write an if statement that searches the currently subscribed channels and sees if they have subscribed to that specific channel.
Here's my code:
let currentInstallation = PFInstallation.currentInstallation()
if(contains(currentInstallation.channels as String, "game1")) {
   // do something
}

I get the following error:

Could not find an overload for 'contains' that accepts the supplied arguments

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

A: You are trying to cast [AnyObject] to String. Try this (if you're using Swift 1.2):
let currentInstallation = PFInstallation.currentInstallation()
if (contains(currentInstallation.channels as! [String], "game1")) {
    // do something
}

In Greenville, New Hampshire, a small town in the southern part of the state, Henri Vaillancourt makes birch-bark canoes in the same manner and with the same tools that the Indians used. The Survival of the Bark Canoe is the story of this ancient craft and of a 150-mile trip through the Maine woods in those graceful survivors of a prehistoric technology. It is a book squarely in the tradition of one written by the first tourist in these woods, Henry David Thoreau, whose The Maine Woods recounts similar journeys in similar vessel. As McPhee describes the expedition he made with Vaillancourt, he also traces the evolution of the bark canoe, from its beginnings through the development of the huge canoes used by the fur traders of the Canadian North Woods, where the bark canoe played the key role in opening up the wilderness. He discusses as well the differing types of bark canoes, whose construction varied from tribe to tribe, according to custom and available materials. In a style as pure and as effortless as the waters of Maine and the glide of a canoe, John McPhee has written one of his most fascinating books, one in which his talents as a journalist are on brilliant display.
John McPhee is the author of more than 25 books, including Annals of the Former World, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction in 1999. He has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1965 and lives in Princeton, New Jersey. McPhee's Encounters with the Archdruid and The Curve of Binding Energy were both nominated for National Book Awards in the category of science.
John McPhee was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and was educated at Princeton University and Cambridge University. His writing career began at Time magazine and led to his long association with The New Yorker, where he has been a staff writer since 1965. Also in 1965, he published his first book, A Sense of Where You Are, with Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and in the years since, he has written nearly 30 books, including Oranges (1967), Coming into the Country (1977), The Control of Nature (1989), The Founding Fish (2002), Uncommon Carriers (2007), and Silk Parachute (2011). Encounters with the Archdruid (1972) and The Curve of Binding Energy (1974) were nominated for National Book Awards in the category of science. McPhee received the Award in Literature from the Academy of Arts and Letters in 1977. In 1999, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Annals of the Former World. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Link: tolomeofp7.unipv.it/ - - "TOLOMEO Project Page"
The project "Tools for Open Multi-Risk Assessment using Earth Observation Data" (TOLOMEO) is funded under the Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (PIRSES-GA-2009) with the ultimate goal to establish an international cooperation between partners in Europe and South-America focused on the development of free tools for remotely sensed data analysis.
The availability and volume of readily accessible remotely sensed data, collected from heterogeneous platforms (e.g. airborne and satellite instruments) has been growing exponentially in the last few years. However, a common problem in the remote sensing community is the lack of software and tools commonly accepted by all and with the potential to effectively extract information from massive and ever-growing remote sensing data archives, with many partners resorting to commercial hardware and others designing their own tools and using them only internally despite the potential of such tools to provide an important service to other partners in the community. In this regard, the main motivation of the "Tools for Open Multi-Risk Assessment using Earth Observation Data" (TOLOMEO) project is the need to establish a collaborative environment towards the development of standardized and open software tools to address relevant problems in which the extraction of information from remotely sensed data can provide outstanding benefits to the society, such as multi-risk assessment.
The focus of this proposal will be the development of free/open source tools in the framework of collaborative environment with emphasis on remote sensing analysis tools for risk assessment. The software tools that we plan to develop aim at being robust, easy to use and "free" (if not open source) in order for them to be used in a collaborative way by researchers and other actors in our community (and possibly in other communities) for extracting information from imagery that may be useful to map risk and its parts: vulnerability, exposure and hazard. All of this will be accomplished by exploiting the experience that each of the partners of the TOLOMEO consortium already possess in their own discipline of the world of software development for remote sensing applications.

Home Sports Cricket Corner – The army told Bandits, "By the left, quick march!";...
Cricket Corner – The army told Bandits, "By the left, quick march!"; and Wicked 11 tells Berlan, "Our Wicked is better than your Bad!"
BELIZE CITY, Wed. Aug. 14, 2019– Under the auspices of the Belize National Cricket Association (BNCA), the Sir Barry Bowen/ Harrison Parks Cricket Competition 2019 semifinals ended over the weekend. A pleasant time of the day to all!
The weekend was such a beautiful and pleasant time to play and enjoy cricket! The weekend also brought tears from many eyes. Some were tears of joy, and others were of sadness. But that's the way the game is played. We must always be on the lookout for unexpected results.
I begin with the tie-breaker between BDF vs Bandits, played at Landing. Bandits won the toss and took to bat first. The batsmen showed some skills, scoring the bowlers as the game progressed. At fall of the last wicket, the score stood at 226. Ordel Cassasola scored 43, followed by Glenroy Reynolds with 41. Herman Gordon was the bowler of the day, taking 3 wickets.
That's a very impressive score. I am of the opinion then that Bandits thought they had the win. Not so, said BDF; not because we were third in our Zone, and you first in yours. We will go down fighting. And, yes, they fought; but they didn't go down.
After lunch break and mingling with friends, it was time for showing of power and skills. When the inning started, it was not too bright for the army, as when the 4th batsman was out, the score stood at 61. Then young Glenford Banner went in, and things changed. This young man showed the Bandits that he is "no play." He started playing cool, then started to hit boundaries. The bowlers had no control of his performance, hitting 17 sixes. In one over, he scored 5 consecutive boundary sixes. After the fall of eight wickets, Bandits' score was beaten; 226 to 228 with 2 spare wickets. Glenford scored 137. He walked out with his partner Aaron Arnold who helped win the game, scoring 21. Jerry Cassasola also put in a good pound by scoring 28.
That ended Bandits' season for this year. I believe that fingers will be pointing, but Glenford was too much for the bowlers, who weren't focusing on the batsman.
Team BDF had reached the playoffs last season, but was defeated by Summer Fever. This year, again these two teams met in the playoffs; BDF was successful in this one, and now they move on to the championship rounds. Best wishes for a good match!
There's a team that much is not mentioned of them. They stayed in the shadows observing everything, waiting for the opportune time to act. A well-disciplined team, to say the least. That team is Wicked 11, hailing from Flowers Bank. In the season of 2015, the team had gone to the finals, but was defeated by Easy Does It Cricket Team. This year, they are back in action, meeting a Team BDF who are one-and-one with them in the regular season games. Both teams are now in the championship rounds.
On Sunday at Flowers Bank, Wicked 11 went up against Berlan for the fifth time. Wicked 11 defeated them again. The wicked boys went to bat first and scored 214 runs, with Aaron Muslar scoring 102 runs. Marlon "Camala" Nicholas and Shyam took 3 of Wicked 11 wickets.
"Big Bad" Berlan went to bat next, and at the fall of the last wicket, scored only 85. Lionel Russel scored 22; and Winston Dawson and Brandon Lewis took 5 and 3 of Berlan wickets, respectively. That ended Berlan's bid for the garland. I say congrats, Team Berlan! You too have done extremely well throughout the season. Next season may be better.
So, come this Saturday, the action begins at BDF grounds – Wicked 11 vs BDF, first and third place finishers in the regular season. Both are from Zone Two. Zone Two shows they are better than Zone One.
(Is my stat correct?) Please note that the two batsmen that batted over 100 runs this past weekend are from the beautiful village of Lemonal, although playing on different teams.
That's all, folks! Come out this weekend at BDF grounds and enjoy cricket at its best. Respect to and for all. Bye Bye!

I'm a Republican. What on Earth Is Wrong With My Party?
Source: Time
By ELISE JORDAN
Jordan is an NBC News/MSNBC political analyst and a TIME columnist
I am a Republican in the era of Donald Trump, and I am emotionally depleted by the constant cruelty of the President of the United States.
I've told myself repeatedly that I am done being shocked by a degenerate of such magnitude that I wouldn't want to invite him to a family gathering for fear of what he might say in front of my mother.
But just when you say you can't be surprised, Trump exceeds the generosity of your lowest expectations. My heart hurt when Trump went out of his way to attack Myeshia Johnson, the pregnant widow of a fallen soldier he sent to the battlefield. I recoiled in disgust when he slanderously (and laughably) insinuated that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was willing to prostitute herself to him for a political donation. When the President offered that among the white supremacists who killed a peaceful protester, there were "some very fine people," it felt like an alternate history, one where the Citizens' Council ascended to power instead of ignominy. Then there's his support for Roy Moore, even after multiple women accused Moore of preying on them when they were teenagers and he was in his thirties.

Hillside Golf Club is a golf club located in Southport, England. The club was founded in 1911. Classed as a "links" course, because of the type of vegetation and geography, it runs over 18 holes and about 7,000 yards, all the holes being between and on mainly large dunes and local indigenous pinewoods, typical of the immediate coastal area. The second group of nine holes, the "back nine" is often thought by professional golfers to be quite challenging. The club has hosted, in its history, a number of UK championships, and also including qualifying rounds for the Open.

It is physically close to both the Royal Birkdale Golf Club, near its south-western boundaries, and to the Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club, somewhat to the south of it.

The clubhouse was originally built in the style of an Edwardian private residence, and has been extended somewhat.

In recent years, research from cognitive science has provided a solid theoretical framework to develop evidence-based interventions in education. In particular, research into reading, writing, language, mathematics and multimedia learning has been guided by the application of Baddeley's multicomponent model of working memory. However, an over-reliance on this single perspective has overlooked the theoretical diversity of contemporary research into working memory. We review the successes and shortcomings of applying Baddeley's model in accounting for a range of evidence and draw attention to alternative models that have been largely ignored within educational research. Specifically, we evaluate frameworks of working memory provided by Kane, Engle and colleagues (attentional control model) and Cowan (embedded process model). We conclude that these alternative views can support a reconceptualization of the contributions of working memory to academic learning that may not be afforded by interpretations of the prevailing multicomponent model.

Health Canada Grants Cultivation License to Grey Bruce Farms, Doubling GTEC's Production Capacity
Kelowna, BC, July 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GTEC Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V:GTEC) (OTCQB:GGTTF) (FRA:1BUP) ("GTEC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grey Bruce Farms ("Grey Bruce") has been granted a Standard Cultivation License (the "License") by Health Canada.
Grey Bruce is an automated, state-of-the-art facility located in Kincardine, Ontario. The facility was carefully designed, constructed and equipped with a mandate and focus on systems, technology, process flow and good production practices to optimize output of ultra-premium indoor flower. The initial phase of the facility spans 15,000 sq. ft. and is estimated to produce 1.65 million grams annually. With the licensing of Grey Bruce, the Company's current annual output is now estimated at approximately 3 million grams.
In accordance with the Cannabis Act and Regulations, Grey Bruce has immediately commenced cultivation of live plants from GTEC's extensive portfolio of exotic and rare cultivars (more commonly known as genetics). GTEC's exclusively sourced genetics, which have been through a meticulous and comprehensive pheno selection process will be gradually implemented at GTEC's other facilities.
The Company now has facilities licensed for cultivation in both Eastern and Western Canada. As previously announced, there has been an increased demand for GTEC's premium flower, and the Grey Bruce facility will enable GTEC to fulfill the demand for its cannabis from other Licensed Producers; and subject to Alberta Craft Cannabis ("ACC") receiving approval of its Federal sales license, introduce GTEC products into Provincial supply chains.
"With the increasing demand for our premium flower, we are excited to be delivering on another significant milestone for our shareholders," said Norton Singhavon, GTEC Founder, Chairman and CEO. "We anticipate this License will increase our companywide flower output by over 120%. We look forward to producing and distributing our new portfolio of products to the Canadian market this fall."
In addition to the Standard Cultivation licenses issued to ACC in Edmonton and now Grey Bruce in Kincardine, Ontario, the Company awaits issuance of a third Standard Cultivation license at Tumbleweed Farms in Chase BC. ACC also completed a Health Canada inspection for its Sales License on June 25-26, 2019 and received a formal inspection report from Health Canada on Friday July 5, 2019. ACC is currently compiling its response to the regulators, in order to comply with any requests made within the required ten business day period.
ROK Consulting – Clarification
GTEC wishes to clarify that further to the press release issued June 27, 2019, it has engaged ROK Consulting Inc. ("ROK Consulting") to perform advisory services in marketing communications (the "Services"). The Services will be provided in connection with GTEC's planned expansion across Western Canada.
ROK Consulting has over 30 years' experience in implementing communication strategies for companies ranging in size from start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations.
Subject to Exchange approval, in exchange for the Services rendered, the Company has issued 100,000 common shares of GTEC (the "Common Shares") at a deemed value of $0.55 per share. The Common Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance thereof and bear a legend as required by the United States Securities Act of 1933.
Satisfaction of Milestone Payment
In accordance with the amended and restated Share Purchase Agreement dated September 15, 2017 among GreenTec Holdings Ltd ("GreenTec") and the vendors of Grey Bruce Farms (the "Vendors"), as assigned to GTEC Holdings Ltd. ("GTEC") by an Assignment and Assumption and Consent dated June 11, 2018 between GTEC, GreenTec and such Vendors (together, the "Agreement"), receipt of the Cultivation License from Health Canada, entitles the Vendors to a "Milestone Payment" pursuant to the Agreement and GTEC will issue 2,222,222 shares to the Vendors at a deemed price of $0.45, based on the most recent 3-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP"), for an aggregate value of $1 million. Norton Singhavon, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is one of the Vendors, will receive approximately 1,444,768 shares (of the aggregate 2,222,222 shares) issued in connection with the Milestone Payment. The share issuance is subject to TSX Venture approval and, upon issuance; will be subject to a statutory 4-month and a day hold.
The shares to be issued to Mr. Singhavon is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI – 61-101"). However, the related party transaction is exempt from minority approval, information circular and formal valuation requirements pursuant to Sections 5.5 (a) and 5.7 (a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the gross securities issued nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Hosting Overselling is the practice of a Web host selling the same disk space and bandwidth to multiple customers. It is made possible by the fact that most hosting customers never use their allotted resources to their full potential. However, it raises ethical questions about what a hosting customer is actually paying for, or rather, what they are paying for but not receiving in return.
Canvas Host guarantees you that 100% of the space and bandwidth you pay for will never be resold to another customer, nor will we manage our resources in a way that adversely affects your Web site's performance, including: sporadic downtime, site unavailability, database errors, email delivery problems, or unplanned migrations of your site to other servers in our network.
If you do go over your space and/or bandwidth, your account will not be suspended or cancelled. Bandwidth overages will result in a modest charge of $0.20 per Gigabyte of bandwidth used. We're happy to chat with you about upgrading you to a higher plan level, or designing a custom plan for your individual needs.
When you purchase hosting and reseller services from Canvas Host, you can count on the full resources of that plan to be available for your use. You have our guarantee!
Have you ever seen this error when trying to access a hosting company's Web site? If you have, it is your first clue that the Web host you are trying to reach has oversold — and overcommitted — its resources, and simply cannot handle the traffic or load of its customers on its servers.
Because Web hosting is a highly technical service, potential customers in need of Web hosting may not know what to look for in a good provider, and fall back on the basic economic principle of value for their money, (getting more for less). They like the idea of being able to get ample space and data transfer, lots of freebies, add-on tools — in short, a complete package — for pennies on the dollar as compared to consulting with a professional company. If they can get it all for less than $5 per month, it certainly is a bargain of a deal!
Many Web host oversellers are aware of this trait in unsuspecting customers, and use it to an unfair advantage by offering "unlimited" amounts of disk space and bandwidth with their hosting plans. Furthermore, the pricing for these accounts is greatly discounted to such a low price that most customers never give it a second thought and sign up.
We have on occasion been asked why our plans are "limited", when so many other hosts out there offer "unlimited" space and storage. Simple. There is no such thing as "unlimited". For a host to claim it offers unlimited service is not only unsustainable from the perspective of the host being able to support such a service, but is also a misleading and fraudulent form of advertising in that it implies customers can have something they truly cannot. If you read the fine print of the average "oversell" Web host's Terms of Service, you will find there is in fact a limit on the number of files, or the maximum data transfer rate you can use, which in and of themselves are more limiting than if you hosted with a "no-oversell" provider like Canvas Host. While our prices may seem higher than the other, "unlimited" hosts, the value of what we are offering you is far greater and the service is guaranteed, simply because we do not oversell our services.
We do place limits on the amount of storage space you can use and the amount of bandwidth allotted to your plan. We do this so we can guarantee accessibility and reliability of your account and ensure no other customer can "overrun" into your space and harm the performance of your Web site(s). However, the space and bandwidth in our plans is extremely generous and 99% of our customers will never go over. If you find you are approaching your quota we will notify you and suggest upgrading you to the next plan level up — and that's all there is to it. No hassle, no complicated Terms of Service, just good, honest, sustainably provided Web hosting you can count on!
The basic notion of overselling is to resell the same resources many times. Consider this simple exercise in numbers.
Web Host 1 1GB 10GB $10/mo. $10/mo. $1/mo.
Now consider that a host is offering you much more at the same price. As an example, 100 Gigabytes of space and 1000 Gigabytes of bandwidth, still for only $10 per month.
Web Host 2 100GB 1000GB $10/mo. $.10/mo. $.01/mo.
What a bargain! $.10 per Gigabyte of storage? A penny per Gigabyte of bandwidth? It looks too good to be true. And it is, because no matter how large or popular your Web site, you will never use all of that space or bandwidth. You won't even come close.
Now, that same host knows your resource needs are only 1/100th of what they are offering you. Because you will never use all of your space and bandwidth, they are likely reselling the unused portions of your account to other customers. So, while they are offering you 100 Gigabytes, through the process of overselling they are able to sell your leftovers to 99 other customers just like you.
Look at those numbers. Just 1% of the customer's allotted space is actually being used. Technically, this means a Web host could turn around and sell this same space and bandwidth to 99 other customers, at pure profit, and not have to worry about running out of space or bandwidth.
This single Web site is using 30% of its allotted space and bandwidth. What happens if several of these sites are hosted on an oversold space?
4 Busy Sites 4 x 30 = 120GB 4 x 300 = 1200GB 100GB 1000GB 120%!
Just four popular sites have used up all of the available space and bandwidth, plus another 20%. This doesn't address the other 96 customers who have been placed on this same oversold space. What about them?
Total Used 216GB 2160GB 216%!
Totalled up, all 100 Web sites are now using up 216% of the space and bandwidth available to the host. Or rather, the host has gone OVER its space and bandwidth by 116%. This can mean ONLY one thing – Web sites are now malfunctioning, databases not being written to, email not being sent or received, and many, many angry customers are calling to find out just what is happening.
Let's recap and compare the two previous Web hosts (Web Host 1 and 2). Example 2A below shows what Web Host 2 is actually selling you, after accounting for reselling it to 99 other customers.
You see, in the end, the second Web host is providing you everything as the first. The same space, bandwidth and price per unit. The difference is, the first host advertised its services honestly and accurately, and guaranteed you the space and bandwidth you are paying for, whereas the second host has oversold their services and resold your allocated space and bandwidth 100 times over simply for profit — with the added risk that nothing is guaranteed.
Compared with hosting oversellers, our per-Gigabyte storage and bandwidth may seem that they are priced higher. In reality though, because we do not oversell our services, our per-Gigabyte of actual, apportioned space and bandwidth per account is much lower than many national discount hosts. Furthermore, not only do we guarantee you the space and bandwidth you pay for, we guarantee that the quality of our support will far exceed any national discount host.
1. Quality Servers. Each of our shared hosting servers run high efficiency servers with 24 CPUs and 24GB to 48GB RAM, and 2TB to 3TB GB RAID10 (redundant) storage space.
2. Per-Server Account Limits. Though cPanel offers unlimited-domain accounts, we have chosen to limit the number of domains on each of our servers to a maximum of 600 accounts per server. This ensures that our services, per server, cannot be oversold to more customers than we have available resources.
3. Redundant, Provisioned Bandwidth. As for bandwidth, our hosting plans provide a lot of it, by a ratio of 20 times the monthly bandwidth per each Gigabyte of storage space. We are able to offer this because we have invested a lot of money into quality, redundant, affordable bandwidth through major tier-1 backbone carriers. Should we need more, we purchase more from our upstream carriers. It is just that simple.
4. Professional, Caring Support. Finally, our support services are not outsourced to India to save costs. We operate two sources of first-world support: one based in Oregon (U.S. customers), and one based in the U.K. (for U.K. customers and night-time U.S. support). Our support representatives understand and speak your language. They are all highly educated, attentive to quality, and sincerely care about the well-being of your business and your Web site. Support like this simply costs a lot.
When you look at the costs, you might ask how we are able to make a profit. While our operational costs may seem higher, it is through operating a higher-quality and streamlined hosting service that we have been able to offset all of these costs.
While the national vendors may seem to be giving you a great deal, they are in reality charging you for services they can not deliver on. Were each of their customers to demand immediate access to the apportioned space and bandwidth, most discount hosts would implode in less time than it would take for you to back up your data and move to a new provider.
On the contrary, Canvas Host has never oversold our services, not only because we feel it would be unethical, but also because there has never been a need.
Ultimately, to be a profitable host, the service has to be good, the provider accessible and accountable, the customers taken care of and listened to, and in the end, the success of every participant will naturally follow. We have done just that, and we are living proof that quality hosting can be done effectively if done the right way.
Canvas Host will never oversell its hosting service. You have our guarantee.
We ask you to consider this when comparing our services to other providers, and encourage you to ask them whether they will really honor what they claim to be selling you. We look forward to speaking with you and welcome your comments.

Home Rangers Stevie does 'about-turn' on massive confession from 2020
Stevie does 'about-turn' on massive confession from 2020
It's his call....
Late last summer Steven Gerrard made a very interesting quote that we covered at the time.
The manager said the following:
"I think what we found last year is we over-used Connor Goldson. We obviously got an injury to Filip [Helander last term], and then obviously the huge setback with [Nikola] Katic early in pre-season. We need four centre-backs, all fit and available. Leon is one that we are not sure whether he can churn out the games like Goldson. So, you will see in my selections from time to time, even on the back of a clean sheet or a good performance that we make a change in that area because we have to manage them from an individual point of view as well."
He showed, stunningly, a concession he'd over-used Goldson, and that while he could handle a bigger load than others can, he intended to chop and change a bit more.
As time has gone on though, whether or not the manager meant this comment at the time, it's clearly turned out to be a red herring.
Not only a red herring in fact, but the big stopper has ended up playing every single match for his team this campaign which is even more than last season where he was at least rested twice!
We are certainly curious about this. Goldson has had an excellent season of course, and you don't drop your best players, but Gerrard was keen to cycle and reduce the load, but it turns out with Goldson that just hasn't happened.
As we've demonstrated, in fact the manager went the opposite way and increased the load on the former Brighton man.
It's intriguing, but it certainly worked, given just how impressive he's been this term.
Curious!

During his time with the Dolphins, Williams was suspended twice and reportedly violated the league's drug policy at least four times. He abruptly retired before the 2004 season and spent the year traveling and studying. He returned in 2005 but failed another drug test and was suspended for the 2006 season, which he spent playing for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. He played his final season with Miami in 2010.
Even though the Dolphins were off Thursday, they still had to release an injury report based on who would have practiced had the team been on the field.
The only two changes from Wednesday: defensive end Vaughn Martin and cornerback Dimitri Patterson would have participated fully despite having ankle injuries. Cornerbacks Jamar Taylor (groin) and Will Davis (toe), and quarterback Pat Devlin (ankle) would have missed practice again, the team said.
The Dolphins return to practice Friday.


but to me, they are Seconds.
This is NOT maths. It is the ticking of a clock – Tick Tock.
that repeats over and over for the length of a piece of music.
Time is the foundation of all Rhythm.
as discussed in last week's blog.
Individual notes are like stray atoms floating in space.
Groups of notes are like molecules without any reference.
Timing gives structure to music, there is a start to a song, and an end.
There is a precise time when everything happens.
and everybody is beholden to it.
There may be a 4 bar intro.
The Chorus begins in bar 13.
A solo may happen in bar 25.
There is a pace for the song. There is a frame of reference.
Time is a standard. A Rule. A benchmark.
You can set your watch by it. Ha Ha.
Unfortunately, the only way to mark off time, is to count it.
Count the seconds as they tick by.
This seems one of the hardest things for Students to do.
I teach all my students that once a song begins, it has to reach its end.
you always have the End in sight.
Of course, the only way to learn a long, complicated song, rhythm or piece of music, is to break it down into smaller chunks.
But, always have the End in sight.
The back of a CD has 3:15 after a track.
Sheet music has 90 Beats Per Minute at the top.
Again, that is very precise.
when you are playing music written by other people.
You have to abide by their rules.
Make the piece sound like the composer intended.
The only way to have complete freedom in music, is to create it yourself, and play solo.
I point out to them that they have gone Back in Time.
The band have moved on, with the End in sight, but one person has gone back to the beginning and started the song again.
Time waits for no Student!
Remember The "Count" from Sesame Street? Loves counting so much, like me!

On the occasion of International Women's Day, Bioversity international has launched a series of factsheets on "Creating mutual benefits: examples of gender and biodiversity outcomes from Bioversity International's research". The publication features six case studies carried out by Bioversity International with local NGOs and partners. Three of these take place in forest and agroforestry landscapes, and are the result of FTA research initiatives. Women are typically involved in biodiversity management, but they are often excluded from research processes.
Following this year's theme #BeBoldForChange, the case studies are a perfect example of how adopting a gender lens in research can lead to opportunities and benefits for both men and women. These case studies illustrate that a focus on gender and biodiversity, and efforts to actively include women and marginalized groups in research activities, can lead to more equitable relations and decision-making as well as positive food security and biodiversity outcomes.

Ancient 'black garlic' recipe found by farmer

A farmer who chanced upon a 4,000-year-old Korean method for curing garlic is now supplying some of the country's top restaurants

A farmer who stumbled across an ancient Korean method for curing garlic is now supplying some of the country's top restaurants with so-called "black garlic".
Mark Botwright wanted to find a way of preserving some of the 900,000 pungent bulbs of garlic he grows so they could be eaten all year round.
The answer came when he chanced upon a 4,000-year-old Korean recipe for "black garlic", a way of preserving garlic bulbs by exposing them to heat and moisture for more than a month.
After stashing a batch in the bottom of his Aga, Mr Botwright said he had a "eureka moment" when he tasted and smelt his culinary creation.
His closely-guarded process kickstarts a chemical reaction between the sugars and amino acids which transform regular bulbs into sweety, sticky black garlic.
The cloves have the texture of dried apricots and the taste of balsamic vinegar, and are so soft they can be spread with a knife.
Now Mr Botwright has built his own special heating room at his 13-acre farm in Bridport, Dorset, so that he can ramp up production to 2,500 bulbs every 40 days.
The farmer spent 18 months perfecting his secret recipe, tweaking the temperature and humidity, and the product has been such a hit he now supplies restaurants including The Ritz and The Ivy.
It has also been given the seal of approval by a host of leading chefs including Nigella Lawson, Mark Hix and Yottam Ottelenghi.
Mr Botwright, 51, is Britain's only producer of black garlic, which costs £3.50 per bulb and has a shelf life of over a year.
He said: "I wanted to find a way of producing a garlic product we could market all year round, plus I'm constantly searching for ways of preserving garlic without adding anything to it.
"After weeks of looking for ancient preserving methods I stumbled across a 4,000-year-old Korean recipe online titled 'black garlic'.
"It was all in Korean so I had to get it translated, and it turned out it was based on an ancient method of preserving garlic by exposing it over time to heat and humidity.
"I had to give it a go, so I put a load of bulbs in an old biscuit tin, put the whole thing in the bottom of my Aga and left it for a month.
"When I took it out the bulbs had turned black and the cloves had turned into sweet, jelly-like consistency with a taste of really refined balsamic vinegar.
"The smell was intense and the taste was incredible - it was a real eureka moment.
He added: "British black garlic has been a real success and has gone down a storm in the culinary world.
"It doesn't taste like garlic at all - it's loads better."

Q: Calculating 2D acceleration vector direction to most quickly reach a point I am currently writing a game where you fly a starship in 2D space. In a given timestep, the ship has the ability to accelerate at constant rate in any direction. The player can specify a point at which the ship should move to, and the ship should do its best to move to that point.
The way I'm currently calculating the acceleration vector direction in a given timestep is by subtracting the target position from the ship's current position. This is well and good for travelling from rest to the first point. However, after the ship has already built up a reasonable velocity and I specify a new target (say, at a point perpendicular to the ship's current velocity vector), the ship has trouble navigating there and will often just run in circles around the target point.
So, the question is, given some initial ship velocity vector (Vs) and initial ship point (Ps) in 2D space, how do I calculate the direction of the acceleration vector in order to most quickly reach a target point (Pt)? I have been using Pt - Ps normalized, but that just results in the ship going in circles after it has a good initial velocity.

I can't quite wrap my head around how to do it. It almost seems like you must have to do some calculations over multiple timesteps or something.

A: This is similar to the path a car will take which can use the tire traction either for accelerating/decelerating or for turning, but not both at the same time. Well, both are possible but with limits.
In this case, the general path looks as follows:

If the magnitude of the acceleration is limited to $a$ then the minimum turn radius when the ship has speed $v$ is  $$r = \frac{v^2}{a}$$
Here I have marked the location of the target with $(X,Y)$ based on a coordinate system on the starting location and the x-axis along the direction of travel.
The total transit time is the sum of the three legs
$$ t = \frac {|v_B-v_A|}{a} + \frac{|\varphi| v_B}{a} + \frac{|v_E-v_B|}{a} $$
where $v_A$ is the starting speed, $v_B$ is the turn-in speed and $v_E$ is the exit speed (speed at target).
One of the strategies is to come to a complete stop at a distance $\ell_{\rm AB} = \frac{v_A^2}{2 a}$ and then start accelerating towards the target. In this scenario, the time to turn is zero.
The turn angle for this scenario is
$$ \varphi_{\rm min} = \mathrm{atan}\left( \frac{Y}{X + \frac{v_A^2}{2 a}} \right) $$
The transit time is now
$$ t_{\rm min} = \frac{v_A}{a} + 0 + \sqrt{
  \frac{ 2 \sqrt{
      Y^2 + \left(X + \frac{v_A^2}{2 a} \right)^2 }
  }{a}} $$
In general, for a larger turn angle $\varphi > \varphi_{\rm min}$ the key speeds and transit time is
$$\boxed{\begin{aligned}
v_{B} & =\sqrt{\frac{a\left(X'\sin\varphi-Y\cos\varphi\right)}{1+\tfrac{1}{2}\sin\varphi-\cos\varphi}}\\
v_{E} & =\sqrt{\frac{a\left(\left(2X'-Y\right)\cos\varphi+\left(X'+2Y\right)\sin\varphi-2X'+Y\right)}{1+\tfrac{1}{2}\sin\varphi-\cos\varphi}}\\
t & =\frac{|v_{A}-v_{B}|}{a}+\frac{|\varphi|v_{B}}{a}+\frac{|v_{E}-v_{B}|}{a}
\end{aligned}}$$
where $X' = X  + \frac{v_A^2}{2 a}$
There is an upper limit on the turn angle $\varphi$ which makes $\ell_{\rm DE}=0$ and this also results in a short transit time, but it is unknown if it is shorter than the case where the ship stops to turn.
This limit is
$$ \varphi_{\rm max} = 2 \mathrm{atan}\left(  \frac{X' +2 Y}{2 X'-Y} \right) - \frac{\pi \left( \mathrm{sign}\left(2 X'-Y \right) \mathrm{sign}\left( X' + 2 Y \right) + \mathrm{sign}\left( 2 X'-Y \right) - 2 \right) }{2}$$ and use the expressions above to get $v_B$, $v_E$ and $t$.
In general, with varying conditions, the optimal strategy is between these two extremes but not on the extremes.
here is what the curves look like for some arbitrary conditions, with arrows indicating the optimal turn angle.

But users should be leery about driving. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana, stays in your bloodstream, and it's possible to test "high" under the initiative's legal definition long after the effect has worn off. So smokers should invest in a good pair of walking shoes or a bus pass.
This initiative also is about the state budget. Not only would marijuana be sold legally, it also would be taxed -- a couple of times. According to the state Office of Financial Management, a new 25 percent marijuana excise tax imposed by the initiative, combined with retail sales and B&O tax, will generate $582 million each year.
I-502 mandates that 40 percent of the new revenues go to the state general fund and local budgets, and 60 percent will be dedicated to substance-abuse prevention, research, education and health care.
For those concerned about kids having access to marijuana, here's a thought -- they already do. Proponents hope that I-502 would actually decrease marijuana use among teens by funding education efforts, much like the anti-tobacco campaign has done for smoking.
Legalizing marijuana also puts the black market for pot out of business. In theory, pot dealers are going to be looking for a new line of work.
These arguments almost persuade us to give pot a nod. Prohibition has cost taxpayers untold billions without reducing consumption. We hate to see the government continue to waste our money.
However, and in our mind it's a huge however, marijuana still is outlawed by federal law despite ballot measures this year in Colorado, Oregon and here.
Any state that legalizes marijuana will become a test case to challenge the feds. No one knows how that's going to go down, but it will certainly be expensive to find out.
Would the federal government turn a blind eye to our new industry, or will they shut it down? Feds already have raided marijuana dispensaries for medical users in parts of the state.
This path is rife with unknowns. The only certainty is that it will end up in court.
At a time when the state has a budget to balance and economies to grow, it seems foolhardy and shortsighted to add this to the "pot," so to speak.
The Tri-City Herald recommends rejecting Initiative 502.

Christmas Means What It Is by Frederick D. Wilhelmsen -- As we celebrate the Incarnation, we celebrate the highest of Catholic truths, which, unlike the "truths" of other religions that fade into metaphor, are literally true.
Seeking the Star of Bethlehem by Jimmy Akin -- Matthew's Gospel speaks of a star that "went before" the magi, till "it came to rest over the place where the child was." How are we to explain this seemingly miraculous phenomenon?
No Catholics Allowed by Trent Horn -- The culture in the United States today opposes Catholicism, so it may come as no great surprise that this country has a long and sordid history of anti-Catholicism.
Bringing Friends into the Catholic Church by Devin Rose -- The author of Navigating the Tiber offers firsthand advice on what to do—and, more often, what not to do—as you encourage and accompany someone into the Faith.


Over a third of female IT professionals were put off by the lack of diversity in tech.
A new study of 5,000 IT professionals in Europe's five biggest economies by Kaspersky Lab has revealed that 34% of women in UK tech were put off by the gender split in their organisation when entering the industry compared with 29% of men.
More than half (56%) of UK IT professionals report working in a majority male team, six times the number that work in a mainly female team (9%).
"There is continued underrepresentation of women in IT across Europe. While there is no overnight fix to balancing the gender divide in our industry, our research and debate help us to understand how we can attract more interest in tech and cyber security and make it more attractive and accessible to women," said Ilijana Vavan, Managing Director of Europe for Kaspersky Lab.
Vavan announces a commitment to inspire change following a discussion of leading UK IT directors held at Kaspersky's London offices, hosted by BBC Click presenter, Kate Russell.
"We need to challenge current perceptions of what a career in tech is. It's not one single thing. Organisations need to challenge recruiters to find them female candidates, and we need education to challenge unconscious bias," she said.
The round-table debate will inform Kaspersky Lab's own set of commitments to inspire change in the industry and will be announced later this year as part of its CyberStarts initiative.
Kaspersky Lab commissioned Arlington Research to conduct research amongst both men and women working in an IT or Tech role to explore perceptions of gender differences within the industry, accidental sexism, barriers to an IT / Tech career amongst both sexes and what has motivated men and women to develop a career in this industry.
Arlington Research conducted an online survey in five countries: The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
5,000 interviews were completed across Europe (1,000 interviews per country) divided equally between men and women (500 men interviewed per country and 500 women interviewed per country). The respondent base from each country consisted of adults aged 18 years old or older who currently work in an IT or Tech role working in organisations of all sizes.
Respondents required online access to complete the survey. Research fieldwork was conducted from 2nd -16th December 2018.
