As y'all can guess today's post is about ILNP Clockwork! I LOVE THIS POLISH! It's so fun to wear! It's probably my favorite ILNP and I mean it's finish is just so so cool!! You get a metal look and then all the sudden it's holo central out in the sun light, and you get sooooo distracted. I love it!
Just look I mean it's beautiful! Plus it's more bronze than it is gold so I have nothing else like this! It's a one of a kind in my stash for sure!! I am so so so excited for ILNP holiday line, there are more polishes with this finish, and I pretty much want them all! I know that won't happen but I will have to grab a few!! It's going to be hard to decide!
Wow, this post is picture heavy! Realistically there could be less but this polish is just to pretty to do any less! Am I right? If y'all wanna see the original swatch post of this polish you can check it out here.
Oh! On Instagram today I will have a video of this polish in motion so y'all can see it in action too! Well I hope you all enjoyed this post as much as I did!! This one was super fun, as were the nails to wear! Let me know your thoughts, oh and do you ever put a polish to a memory?! Haha!!

Sam, I should have said … I was assigned to the 374th FMS and was not directly assigned to the 374th TAW. The 374th FMS did not share in the AFOUA award with the 374thTAW while I was assigned to the unit. Bob
Not sure about TAW, but for FMS at Naha: The 374th FMS received the PUC for the inclusive period of 8 Aug 1967 to 7 Aug 1968. The 374th FMS was not directly assigned to the 374th TAW and did not share the AFOUA. Hopefully, by now, there is a new batch of 'attendants' at New Cindy. Bob

Kit Up.... post-production enhancement C-130 MICROVANES® Lockheed Martin has conducted extensive studies to reduce C-130 fuel consumption. Microvanes have proven to be the most cost effective improvement, as they are low cost to manufacture and procure, easy to install and provide significant fuel savings of more than 3 percent on average. The C-130's at cargo ramp and door give it an exceptional airdrop capability. However, this same feature creates a significant amount of drag due to the abrupt change in air flow from the sides to the ramp/ door. Drag and fuel usage are directly related. Lockheed Martin teams performed fluid dynamics studies and identified Microvanes as the best solution to minimize drag on the C-130 aircraft . Microvanes are small devices, approximately a foot long and an inch and a half tall. They are installed in sets of 20 on the body of the C-130, with 10 vanes per side and reduce drag by modifying the air flow and thereby increasing fuel savings. Flight testing has been conducted to verify Microvanes reduce fuel burn as predicted in operational scenarios and have no adverse impact on airdrop operations from the ramp or paratroop door. Microvane Kit: Microvanes installed on can be completed in one day with an attachment adhesive and a specialized tool for location. The installation tool can be re-used for subsequent installations. Microvanes can be added and removed without permanent alteration to both legacy and J model aircraft.

C-130 pilot takes aircrews down memory lane By Staff Sgt. Guy Volb 374th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Like a time capsule retrieved after 30 years, Lt. Col. (retired) Phillip Collins resurfaced in his old stomping grounds here this month to share experiences gained from his many years in the cockpit during the infancy of airlift. There was a time in the late 50s and early 60s, he offered, when being stationed in Japan meant 25-cent haircuts and an enticing yen rate of 375 to the dollar. During his vacation here the lanky, spry, 63-year-old Collins spoke to Yokota's airlift crews about his and the C-130's historical airlift past — complete with the many flight innovations he helped make. Ironically, while many of today's crews weren't even born when he was flying, the mode of transportation remains the same — the C-130 Hercules. Collins' journey down memory lane began in August 1956. As a new graduate of the San Angelo, Texas, flight school, where he flew B-25s, he was assigned to Ashiya, Japan, where he flew the C-130's predecessor, the C-119. As a member of the 37th Troop Carrier Squadron, a relative of Yokota's 36th Airlift Squadron, the 37th TCS performed "airlift missions" much like the 36th and 30th Airlift Squadrons do here now. Following his sixth-month stint at Ashiya, Collins made his first swing through the local area. He was assigned to what is now Showa Kinen Koen (Park) in Tachikawa, then home to the 21st TCS. Once again he flew airlift missions on C- 119s. But it was in 1959, after the 21st TCS had moved to Naha, Okinawa, when his career made a bee-line for the history books. With C-130s operational throughout the world, Collins left the Far East for Sewart Air Force Base, Tenn., eventually flying with the short-lived Hercules aerial demonstration team known as the Four Horsemen. He said the C-130 was unique at that time since it handled much like a fighter. The Air Force shut us (the four horsemen) down before we became too active,"he said with a chuckle. "But for the year I was at Sewart we were in great demand. "An interesting aside," he said, "was that we would go out to the flightline and just pick four aircraft. We used any four the maintenance folks declared operational. There was no special selection process." Collins said they put on a typical airshow. "We flew close formations, which no longer happens," he said using his hands to describe other maneuvers they used. "We'd fly a diamond formation, arrowhead and we would normally finish the show with a low-level, 300 knot 'bomb burst.' For a big aircraft to perform this back in those days was unusual since there wasn't another four-engine aircraft of that size that could maneuver like that." A year later Collins moved to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, where he spent four years involved with C-130 ski operations. He would use large ski pads to land on ice and snow in Greenland, more than likely an initiative taken as a result of the cold war. Then in 1964, during his next assignment at Eglin AFB, Fla., events thrust him into modern airiift history books. As a member of the 4485th Test Wing, he was one of a few crew members involved with eveloping C-130 tactics, delivery systems and instrumentation still used today. It was Collins, and members of eight other crews who completed the first-ever assault landing on a 2,000-foot runway. The landing technique which helped them stop in an average of 1,200 feet, is still used today and was important then since ground troops in Vietnam needed close are support. "Vietnam was beginning to heat up," he said, "and the Army wasn't sure the Air Force could provide the technical airlift they needed. They wanted the funding to build their own flying units. But the Tactical Air Command said it could do it and we were going to prove it." He said the short-runway assault landings were the result of this disagreement between the Army and Air Force. "At that time," he said, "there had never been a C-130 to land on a runway 2,000-feet or smaller. Yet the Air Force said it could be done — it was a matter of record. So the Army, thinking it had the Air Force's number, basically said put up or shut up." The Army built a 2,000-foot dirt runway with 50-foot obstacles on either end of the runway on the range at Eglin. "They said 'the Air Force's tactical documents said you can do it. We built the runway, show us.' "Needless to say we're all looking at each other thinking 'you've got to be kidding, you want us to land on that small runway?' But the Air Force said you got to do it, since they said it could be done." Collins said Lockheed pilots were even sent to Eglin to show them techniques they felt could be used for short-field landings. "But after seeing them land several times," he said, "we felt we needed to come up with our own techniques. They were driving the plane into the ground and the wing tips were flapping all over the place. We told the wing commander to send the Lockheed pilots home." And he did. So Collins and the other crews developed the assault landing technique, and many of the exotic delivery systems used to this day such as the Low-Altitude Parachute Extraction System or LAPES. Then in 1966 he returned to the Far East for a final tour of Japan, to the 6091st Reconnaissance Squadron here, bringing his career full circle. It took Collins 30 years following that tour to return to Japan, but in doing so he gave today's airlift pilots insight to some early C-130 history.

Lockheed said: Airlift International's ground crew in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has a right to be proud. On Oct 25, 1967, just 9 minutes after Flight 603 taxied in from New York, it was ready to leave for Miami – an unofficial world record for cargo plane turnaround. In, that time, the crew unloaded and loaded 44,364 lbs. Ok… is this THE world record. Or have you done better?… and want some recognition.

Turnaround champions: L-100 Hercules and the 9-minute men. Airlift International's ground crew in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has a right to be proud. On Oct 25, 1967, just 9 minutes after Flight 603 taxied in from New York, it was ready to leave for Miami – an unofficial world record for cargo plane turnaround. In, that time, the crew unloaded and loaded 44,364 lbs. Of course, some credit goes to Hercules L-100 and its timesaving, money-saving features. On / off loading through its large rear doors is quick and simple – straight in, straight out. The L-100's adjustable loading ramp (truck height to ground level) speeds operations and eliminates much expensive, complex ground-handling equipment. Palletized cargo glides in and out on its floor-mounted rolled tracks. And only Hercules carries intermodal shipping containers and outsized cargo that won't fit into side-loading planes. Its rectangular "freight-shaped" interior cuts out waste space and holds up to 48,000 lbs. of cargo. Now there's a new Hercules - the l-100-20. New engines make it 16 mph faster and its fuselage has been "stretched" by 100 niches increasing volume 20%. Lockheed is also developing the world's largest plane – the L-500 Galaxy – to meet cargo demands of the future.

Fly non-stop to Iaşi, Romania from Malmö Airport
The Hungarian carrier Wizz Air continues to expand. Starting in May 2018, it will launch a new direct route to Romania from Malmö Airport. People will be able to fly to Iaşi three times a week.
In May next year, Malmö will be the first airport in Scandinavia to offer non-stop service to Iaşi, Romania.
The city of Iaşi has a population of about 300,000 and is located in northeast Romania in the historic Moldavian region. Iaşi is one of the oldest cities in Romania and once the crossroads of transport routes between Poland, Hungary, Russia and Istanbul. In Iaşi, people can visit places such as the Gheorghe Asachi Library at the Technical University, which has been called the most beautiful library in the world, and go shopping at the Palas Mall.
The new route will be Wizz Air's fourteenth from Malmö Airport and the third to Romania.
"We are really pleased that Wizz Air continues to expand its service in Malmö," says Peter Weindhandl, airport director at Malmö Airport. "Eastern Europe is one of the most popular regions right now, and we are really pleased that air links will be improved to one of the fastest growing markets, both from Malmö and Sweden in general."
"Today we are thrilled to announce a new destination from Malmo to Iaşi, Romania. Underlining our commitment to the region, we look forward to continuing our fruitful partnership of over 13 years with Malmo Airport and remain committed to bringing even more exciting opportunities that can best meet our Swedish customers' needs," says Sorina Ratz, communications manager at Wizz Air. "Our dedicated crew looks forward to welcoming each passenger on board our young fleet to discover some of the thirteen destinations available in Wizz Air's network from Malmo."
Flying time between Malmö and Iaşi is estimated at about 2 hours and 35 minutes. Departures will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
For further information, please contact Swedavia's press office at +46 10-109 01 00.


Minutes from Downtown and adjacent to the main gate of the Biltmore Estate, this new hotel opened in June 2017 and has quite a few great amenities unique to the Hampton Inn & Suites brand of hotels.
Located just south of Downtown Asheville, the hotel is about two miles from the heart of the city and adjacent to Interstate 40, but don't worry, you won't hear the noise from the highway.
While we didn't visit The Biltmore House on this visit (next time!), the hotel is just two blocks from the main gate of the property. The Biltmore Village is also nearby, where you'll find plenty of local restaurants and shopping. PRO TIP: If you'd rather someone else do the driving, their adjacent sister property, DoubleTree Biltmore is an official stop on the Asheville Trolley Tour – hop on and off throughout town.
This Hampton Inn & Suites property was unique in that it had some pretty cool amenities that I've never seen in other Hampton locations. The indoor pool was a huge welcome to my girls — I hadn't thought about it until our stay, but my Florida girls had never seen an indoor pool. And they LOVED it!
It was a welcome sight after our full morning of zip lining at the Asheville Adventure Center – even when an afternoon summer storm rolled in! Just outside the pool was a large patio area and a firepit — sure to be a hit during the fall months.
I had Catabawa Brewing Company's Stay Awhile Lemon Blonde Ale – light and refreshing after a day exploring the city. My pint glass was only $5 and I was excited to learn that the pint glass was mine to keep (they switched it out for a clean glass when I finished – awesome souvenir) and one dollar from my purchase went to the local food bank. A total win/win for all. PRO TIP: Wanna learn more about where you are staying? Always talk to the bartender – they know the scoop!
The local goods for sale in the lobby – local popcorn, hot sauce, beer – souvenirs!
The complimentary breakfast buffet was filled with great eats, including waffles and there were different main items every morning – always a nice surprise. And there was plenty of fresh fruit, perfect to throw in my bag for an afternoon snack. And over at the front desk, they had pre-packaged bags for 'breakfast on the go'.
To learn more about this unique property and book your own stay, visit the Hampton Inn & Suites Asheville Biltmore Village website. Their official Facebook page is also filled with great photos and videos of their recent grand opening – definitely worth a look!
My family and I enjoyed our time at the new Hampton Inn & Suites Asheville Biltmore Village. From the craft beer in the lobby (mega win!), the tasty breakfast, central location and the homelike feeling inside our room – this property is now on my 'must return again' list for our next trip to Asheville!

The ironic thing is ubuntu's unity is more OSX-esq than gnome-shell, yet somehow neo praises ubuntu for going their own way, unlike gnome 3's supposed "osx aping". Honestly it sounds like you've never even used gnome 3/gnome-shell, or are just on some kind of strange fanboy vendetta against it.

The only thing I'm saying here, something that's completely lost on you people, is that you won't ever gain much success by being a knock-off. Try to have your own identity. As long as you do that you can take all the cues you want from whatever OS. Something I think Ubuntu has done very well compared to - let's say - elementary OS.

You're very welcome. Would you like to go over other obvious button functions as well? Like the "Quote" button is there to?
No, thank you - I figured that one out by myself. And I see what you did there.
Look, I just looked back and I realize I probably came off as too aggressive in my original post (quoting you) but that's only because I'm terribly sick and tired of reading trollish posts by people like you who post their opinions as facts. You're not an Mac user, are you? Just wondering, because (some) Mac users are known to have trollish behaviour embedded in their genes. It's hard to distinguish sometimes, between who's a troll and who's not these days.

Sorry, I like Windows and Linux equally, though, for different reasons and uses. Linux is indeed a complete mess.
You have different package managers.
Different type of distros
More distros based on those distros.
Different kernels
Different release cycles
Different licences
Different desktop environments with different versions
The problem is that there is too many of everything and no consistency. On reddit today, I made a comment that even the minor things like default wallpaper (which is absolutely horrid, 1998 style which looks like a 5 year old did it) are not nice to the end user.
Linux has problems with the small and big things. The last I can remember from not long ago that Linux has 2% of the desktop market (maybe a little more now). For a market (and lets not include the server market has that is more consistent) that has 2% of the global market, you are too far spread out with enough mess and issues that you cannot be taken serious.
Microsoft is having a hard time as of late with it's new Windows 8 OS which the metro changes. This is an operating system that hasn't even been released to the general public and yet we nearly have enough hate to topple Windows Vista and Windows Me over in the amount of issues people have with it. (I'm happy with it btw). But it goes to show that if you change or remove things then you'll have people walking away.
Well of course, elemtary os does try to be very osx like, but where the hell have I been talking about elemtary OS? elementary OS is not every linux distro, and its not vanilla gnome 3. I agree ubuntu is doing a good job trying to make their own identity, all I'm saying is please stop lumping every other distro into the "OSX Clone" group, only a few distros try to do that, and gnome 3 does not try to do that.
and gnome 3 does not try to do that.
I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.
I am a Mac user, partially because it isn't very easy for me to switch desktop platforms. I rely on certain apps that aren't available on either Windows or Linux such as Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro. However, I very much enjoy using other products as well. I'm not dependent on a single phone platform so that's the reason I now own a Nokia Lumia 900 running Windows Phone 7.5, a BlackBerry Torch 9860 (2011) before that and an HTC Legend running Android (2010) before that. It's kinda boring to have everything from a single company don't you think? ;)
Sometimes it's good to see both, the good side and the bad. You and many others seem to only pick on the bad side. I actually agree with you about the visual inadequacies, and that's not exactly hard to fix even for novice users. And you know what's funny? When people (devs and end users) actually try to fix these inadequacies (visual and functional), they're written off as trying to clone OSX, or any other OS.
You get a stable unix like OS for free, you just install it and configure it with a theme / DE and you're done. I ask again, how exactly is that a bad thing?
Yes, the multiple distros and forks of those distros need to be controlled. Hell, forks of _everything_ needs to be controlled and more work needs to go into compatibility issues that arise. However, I also feel these things are blown WAY out of proportion. You download Distro X - you use the package manager it comes with. How difficult is that? Don't like the DE? Download and install another one, any from the most popular ones and be done with it. Most of the things work out of the box these days.
There are probably many small businesses and mom & pop outlets that may be using some variant of Linux for their day to day business, saving them a large amount of cash that'd have otherwise gone towards Microsoft or Apple ware. This particular group may be completely oblivious to most of the issues being discussed here - probably it doesn't affect them that much. They get by just fine. This is a good side that's often overlooked in such type of discussions.
For example, I want to install Gimp 2.8 on my 11.04 Ubuntu based distro. I can't ... not unless I compile it myself for 11.04. It's not going to happen - because it's too much work and I probably aren't up to it. So does that render my existing Gimp 2.7 install unusable? Hell no. I can opt to bite the bullet and move on to the current 12.04 distro, or make do with 2.7.
I have a choice, and that's the only thing that matters.
I want to write much much more, but I'm exhausted... I've just got back from a long and straining journey. However, I hope I've got my point across, even if it's in a small way. (And pardon the typos, if there are any ;) )
I'm afraid you are confusing gnome 3 and elementary os.
And you know what's funny? When people (devs and end users) actually try to fix these inadequacies (visual and functional), they're written off as trying to clone OSX, or any other OS.
I guess that very much depends on how developers implement it and more importantly how it's being presented. The Ubuntu team claimed something along the lines of the following: We personally came up with a brand new feature where you can now search for a certain Menu Bar command and the command will automatically pop-up. Isn't that amazing and handy? They even went as far as taking the OS X Menu Bar as an example of how antiquated all the other operating systems were. In all their smugness they neglected to mention OS X has had this exact feature since the first OS X Tiger Developer Preview dating all the way back to 2004.
So yeah, when you're doing it like that you're bound to raise a few eyebrows. That said, these practices aren't limited to Linux developers alone.
Don't be.
I am a Mac user, partially because it isn't very easy for me to switch desktop platforms. I rely on certain apps that aren't available on either Windows or Linux such as Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro. However, I very much enjoy using other products as well.
That's cool, however, It still puzzles me as to why you're so quick to put your finger on visual and similarities between Linux DEs and OSX without actually looking into the functional aspect of it, and it's implementation on Linux. Are you unhappy about Linux achieving the same level of ease of use and wow factor, or are you objecting to Linux devs' implementation of functions and actions on Linux, which may (or may not) bear a resemblance to it's OSX counterpart?
Why exactly are you dismissing Linux? Why is any of it a bad thing, particularly considering how much it gives back to it's users without needing anything back from them. What's your objective - because it certainly doesn't seem to help your case. Honest question ;)
I'm not dependent on a single phone platform so that's the reason I now own a Nokia Lumia 900 running Windows Phone 7.5, a BlackBerry Torch 9860 (2011) before that and an HTC Legend running Android (2010) before that. It's kinda boring to have everything from a single company don't you think? ;)
Fair enough, and a good practice actually ;)
From that perspective, I'm in the same boat as you - I have run several versions of OSX hack'ntoshed, run Linux and Windows 8, have an iPhone, an Android phone and a Symbian phone (Yep, and it still works great)

You keep living in Lala Land pretending Gnome's goal isn't to largely mimic Apple. While you're there also pretend the fad going on where distributions were brought into life with the soul purpose of copying the Aqua user experience never happened. I've also told you many times around that I totally agree with there are in fact a few larger distributions, like Ubuntu, which thankfully went their own way and successfully implemented their own look 'n' feel. Which is probably one of the many reasons why they are in fact successful. For whatever reason you always ignore the latter and merely focus on the former. The only ammunition you have are personal attacks.
I never once mentioned any about Gnome and OSX elements being copied. Go back and check again please. As for LA LA land, yes Neo, "welcome long standing citizen". And around what? You've told me around what? show me where please. I didn't want to make it personal, but when you come into every damn thread and simply spout nonsense for the sake of sounding smart, well now kinda gets on my nerves; it generally detracts from the real opinions being expressed. Gnome isn't copying OSX and trying to pass it off , you're statements are false and directed at devaluaving something which you don't understand. This isn't about OSX, its about linux shells and comments derived from the linux desktop experience, not once again OSX.
I guess that very much depends on how developers implement it and more importantly how it's being presented.

In all their smugness they neglected to mention OS X has had this exact feature since the first OS X Tiger Developer Preview dating all the way back in 2004.
Hmm, this part I did not know, and if the Ubuntu devs have indeed done that, then it's definitely wrong (claiming they did this first).
However, I still feel there's nothing wrong with implementing it the way they have, unless Apple has patented it (the actual method of accessing said command). If they haven't, it's their loss.. nothing's stopping them from contacting the Ubuntu devs with a cease-and-desist ... which, knowing Apple, they won't think twice about doing. This is my frank opinion (stress on opinion) on this scenario - and I'd have maintained my stance if it was any other OS, not just Linux.
Isn't that the biggest joke ever? You frequently make things personal, completely neglect to debate things in a normal fashion and fail to come up with any form of argumentation short of personal attacks. Point in case this thread. Beyond that I really couldn't care less about getting on your nerves for not sharing your viewpoint.
There absolutely isn't anything wrong with it at all. Especially since their implementation is different enough from Apple's. What is wrong is that: A) They're trying to pass it off as their own: "We can do better [than Apple/the rest]!". B) They're giving the general impression the feature is unique to Ubuntu. You can't really blame people for putting them in their place by bringing up the fact OS X has had this feature publicly since 2005. They themselves brought up the comparison with other operating systems, but then the Linux crowd becomes annoyed when others put it up for debate and an argument starts? That's strange.

There isn't anything wrong with it at all and that's not what I'm saying. Especially since their implementation is different from Apple's. What is wrong is that: A) They're trying to pass it off as their own. B) They're giving the general impression their feature is unique to Ubuntu. You can't really blame people for putting them in their place by bringing up the fact OS X has had this feature publicly since 2005.
I apologise to Neowin and any other member (s) who had to read my replies of how I approached Neo, my posts were emotionally driven due to the shear amount of BS being spouted as 'facts', I sincerely do. To Neo, sorry mate, you can earn respect around here when you learn to stop being a troll for the sake of wanting to sound smart, and actually have something to say that is contributing for once to the thread, other than a bunch of wise cracks on how Gnome is copying OSX and trying to pass it off or that somehow linux desktops are all copies - with referance to you stating Gnome a copy of OSX and KDE modelled on windows..... as most would "know".... oh please.
I didn't say it's wrong that the Ubuntu devs implemented the feature, I said it's wrong that they claimed they did it first - and in that vein, you're saying the same thing I have, in my post which you quoted.
I said "it's definitely wrong that the Ubuntu devs claimed they did it first". You said (a) they're trying to pass it off as their own, which is wrong - isn't it? and (b)They're giving the general impression their feature is unique to Ubuntu, which is isn't - and therefore wrong, isn't it?
So we both agree, that Ubuntu devs claiming "we did it first" is wrong and that their feature is unique to Ubuntu, is also wrong. And you also agree with me that there's nothing wrong with Ubuntu's implementation, and that it's different from Apple's implementation?
So we agree on both points, good. Why then, were you picking on it in the first place? I also asked you about other things you were picking upon...
Apologies javagreen, I misread your first sentence. :)
I apologise to Neowin and any other member (s) who had to read my replies of how I approached Neo, my posts were emotionally driven due to the shear amount of BS being spouted as 'facts', I sincerely do.
This is where you go completely wrong. By no means do I try to pass off my personal views as fact. Mostly they're just that: personal views and opinions. I'm sorry for thinking this was obvious (it being a forum and all) and didn't start every single post with "In my opinion..." / "It is my view that?" / "Personally I think?", something you and some others apparently require. You can earn some respect when you manage keeping your emotions in check and have a normal argument without immediately throwing personal attacks around.
Now that's all out of the way maybe we can move forward in a civilized fashion?
It's alright, I'm just trying to get to the root of the issue :)

Yes, there maybe many websites running Linux on the back end. At the end of the day, its 1.4 billion Windows users accessing those websites that adds the credibility. Recent stats show Linux is actually down in marketshare (still at 1%) on the desktop. The last time I checked, Facebooks over 900 million users are not running Linux.
Linux Mint 20.1 ISOs have been approved for release [Update]
Following the beta release of Linux Mint 20.1 in mid-December, the stable release has been finalised and approved for release according to the Linux Mint website. While approved, the Linux Mint project has not yet published a blog post about the release or the ISOs but they are expected imminently.
For those already running Linux Mint 20, the upgrade will be made available via the Update Manager but upgrading won't be necessary if you're happy with your existing setup. Like Linux Mint 20, Linux Mint 20.1 will receive security updates until 2025 as they're both based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, however, it will come with desktop improvements and new apps developed by the Linux Mint project.
Some of the new apps that will be available include Web Apps which lets your turn your favourite sites into web apps accessible from the app menu and an IPTV program called Hypnotix that'll come pre-loaded with several freely available channels. For Chromium fans, the Mint team has decided to begin compiling the browser itself without a dependence on Ubuntu's Snap packaging software.
In a blog post from the end of December, Linux Mint's head Clem Lefebvre said that there were still some issues that they wanted to work out before the release and couldn't give an exact release date. Linux Mint is not known for giving exact release dates so there's nothing out of the ordinary this time around. In the post, Lefebvre also stated that the team was considering an extra ISO image with the Linux 5.8 kernel to address some AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 issues but this extra ISO has not yet shown up on the Mint website.
Update: Linux Mint 20.1 has now been released and can be downloaded from linuxmint.com.

Linux Mint 20.1 'Ulyssa' beta launches with new programs
The Linux Mint project has just released the beta for Linux Mint 20.1. The new beta is available in the Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce flavours of Linux Mint and aside from desktop improvements, share the same set of new features.
Neowin has covered some of Linux Mint's development updates in recent months and the work that went in then has landed in a more mature form in this beta. Highlights include a new Web Apps tool that lets you turn your favourite sites into web apps accessible from the app menu and IPTV program called Hypnotix has been created and items can be marked as favourites in the file manager on Cinnamon.
Another change in Linux Mint 20.1, which has been known for quite a while now, is the inclusion of Chromium in the repositories. Chromium had previously been removed from the Linux Mint repositories because the maintainers didn't like that it had Snap dependencies. The Chromium that is now included is compiled directly by the Mint team and updates will be released in a timely manner.
As with the other releases in this series, Linux Mint 20.1 will continue to get updates until 2025. Those running Linux Mint 20 will be able to upgrade in a pain-free manner when Linux Mint 20.1 is stable because the base packages will remain the same. Those who choose to download the beta today won't have to reinstall when the stable version comes out in a few weeks, instead, you just need to make sure you install available updates.
You can find the three Linux Mint 20.1 beta flavours over on the Evowise mirror which should provide decent download speeds no matter where you are in the world.
Firefox 84 launches with support for Apple Silicon CPUs
Mozilla has released Firefox 84 with native support for Apple Silicon CPUs. Firefox 83, by contrast, was released just after Apple's CPU announcement and had to run using Apple's Rosetta 2 emulation software on newer Macs.
Aside from support for Apple Silicon CPUs, it's worth mentioning again that Firefox 84 is set to be the last version of Firefox that will include support for Adobe Flash. The plug-in, which has largely been supplanted by HTML5 and Unity, was first released in 1996 and sometimes acted as a security weak point.
Firefox 84 is a big update in terms of Mozilla's rollout of WebRender, its Servo rendering architecture. The rollout has been extended to devices running macOS Big Sur, Windows devices with Intel Gen 6 GPUs, and Intel laptops running Windows 7 and 8. Linux users with the GNOME desktop with X11 will also get WebRender switched on in this update but it's unclear when users of other desktop environments and of Wayland will get the feature switched on.
The final point worth mentioning also pertains to Linux; Mozilla says it is now using "more modern techniques" for allocating shared memory on Linux which improves overall performance and increases compatibility with Docker.
Head over to the Firefox website now to grab a fresh copy of the browser or wait for your existing installation to upgrade itself. You can also force the upgrade by going to the Menu button > Help > About Firefox where you should see the update download and eventually offer to restart the browser.

English learning app co-founded by Vietnamese raises $7 million
February 27, 2019 by vnexpress Leave a Comment
The investment round for ELSA, a mobile app that uses artificial intelligence and speech recognition technology to help language learners improve their English pronunciation, was led by Gradient Ventures, Google's AI-focused venture fund. According to tech news provider Engadget, the Google fund will also offer "technical mentorship" to AI startups. ELSA will gain access to Google itself, including prominent figures such as investor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, design mastermind Matias Duarte and X lab leader Astro Teller. U.S. fund SOSV and Singaporean Monk's Hill Ventures, strategic investment funds from the previous investment round, also invested in the app. In three years after its establishment, ELSA has successfully attracted $12 million through funding rounds in Silicon Valley, the U.S. and Asia.

English as an official language in Vietnam: would it work?
December 19, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment
At the Youth Entrepreneurship Forum 2018 last month, Minister of Information and Communication Nguyen Manh Hung suggested that the Prime Minister should soon recognize English as the second official language of Vietnam to help startups reach out to the world. The proposal stirred a heated discussion on social media and prompted numerous professionals to pitch in with their views and opinions. While some welcomed the idea and supported widespread use of the language in Vietnam, others were wary of the cultural, legal and other implications of formalizing it as an official language. Everyone agreed that it was good to improve English use and fluency in the country, so the debate boiled down to whether declaring and using it as an official language was a feasible, practical option for Vietnam. Professor Chung Hoang Chuong, who has juggled teaching at the University of California and doing research in Vietnam, was optimistic about Vietnam having two official languages.

The competitors, some as young as 8 years old, face a three-day obstacle course through the English language, a mash-up of Germanic and French words laced with borrowings from tongues around the world. Any of 470,000 entries in the "Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary" is fair game.

Nucleus- Definition, Structure, Functions and Diagram
July 27, 2021 March 19, 2021 by Sagar Aryal
Nucleus Definition
Structure of Nucleus
Functions of Nucleus
The cell nucleus is a membrane-bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary information and controls the cell's growth and reproduction.
It is the command center of a eukaryotic cell and is commonly the most prominent organelle in a cell accounting for about 10 percent of the cell's volume.
In general, a eukaryotic cell has only one nucleus. However, some eukaryotic cells are enucleated cells (without a nucleus), for example, red blood cells (RBCs); whereas, some are multinucleate (consists of two or more nuclei), for example, slime molds.
The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell or the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane.
As the nucleus regulates the integrity of genes and gene expression, it is also referred to as the control center of a cell.
Figure: Diagram of Nucleus
The structure of a nucleus encompasses the nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nucleolus.
Nuclear Membrane
The nuclear membrane is a double-layered structure that encloses the contents of the nucleus. The outer layer of the membrane is connected to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Like the cell membrane, the nuclear envelope consists of phospholipids that form a lipid bilayer.
The envelope helps to maintain the shape of the nucleus and assists in regulating the flow of molecules into and out of the nucleus through nuclear pores. The nucleus communicates with the remaining of the cell or the cytoplasm through several openings called nuclear pores.
Such nuclear pores are the sites for the exchange of large molecules (proteins and RNA) between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
A fluid-filled space or perinuclear space is present between the two layers of a nuclear membrane.
Nucleoplasm is the gelatinous substance within the nuclear envelope.
Also called karyoplasm, this semi-aqueous material is similar to the cytoplasm and is composed mainly of water with dissolved salts, enzymes, and organic molecules suspended within.
The nucleolus and chromosomes are surrounded by nucleoplasm, which functions to cushion and protect the contents of the nucleus.
Nucleoplasm also supports the nucleus by helping to maintain its shape. Additionally, nucleoplasm provides a medium by which materials, such as enzymes and nucleotides (DNA and RNA subunits), can be transported throughout the nucleus. Substances are exchanged between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm through nuclear pores.
Nucleolus
Contained within the nucleus is a dense, membrane-less structure composed of RNA and proteins called the nucleolus.
Some of the eukaryotic organisms have a nucleus that contains up to four nucleoli.
The nucleolus contains nucleolar organizers, which are parts of chromosomes with the genes for ribosome synthesis on them. The nucleolus helps to synthesize ribosomes by transcribing and assembling ribosomal RNA subunits. These subunits join together to form a ribosome during protein synthesis.
The nucleolus disappears when a cell undergoes division and is reformed after the completion of cell division.
The nucleus is the organelle that houses chromosomes.
Chromosomes consist of DNA, which contains heredity information and instructions for cell growth, development, and reproduction.
Chromosomes are present in the form of strings of DNA and histones (protein molecules) called chromatin.
When a cell is "resting" i.e. not dividing, the chromosomes are organized into long entangled structures called chromatin.
The chromatin is further classified into heterochromatin and euchromatin based on the functions. The former type is a highly condensed, transcriptionally inactive form, mostly present adjacent to the nuclear membrane. On the other hand, euchromatin is a delicate, less condensed organization of chromatin, which is found abundantly in a transcribing cell.
Besides the nucleolus, the nucleus contains a number of other non-membrane-delineated bodies. These include Cajal bodies, Gemini of coiled bodies, polymorphic interphase karyosome association (PIKA), promyelocytic leukemia (PML) bodies, paraspeckles, and splicing speckles.
The nucleus provides a site for genetic transcription that is segregated from the location of translation in the cytoplasm, allowing levels of gene regulation that are not available to prokaryotes. The main function of the cell nucleus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle.
It controls the hereditary characteristics of an organism.
The organelle is also responsible for protein synthesis, cell division, growth, and differentiation.
Storage of hereditary material, the genes in the form of long and thin DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strands, referred to as chromatin.
Storage of proteins and RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the nucleolus.
The nucleus is a site for transcription in which messenger RNA (mRNA) are produced for protein synthesis.
During the cell division, chromatins are arranged into chromosomes in the nucleus.
Production of ribosomes (protein factories) in the nucleolus.
Selective transportation of regulatory factors and energy molecules through nuclear pores.

The fallout from the indictment comes too close to a couple of lines, both in U.S.
Kislyak's comments came as top Russian and American officials exchanged barbs over Friday's indictment of 13 Russians accused of an elaborate plot to disrupt the 2016 presidential election.
On Monday, Goldman posted a similar message to his fellow Facebook employees.
Facebook's vice-president of adverts has been criticised for tweeting that Russian-bought ads had not been created to sway the U.S. election.
However according to the indictment, the ads were only part of Russia's activity on the social-media platform.
The recipient would then have to enter a code in Facebook to continue buying the ad. Talks and communication are better than another Cold War. He also noted that US officials felt that with or without the Soviets, the freeze movement "would probably be about where it is today". On Sunday, Trump tweeted, "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said "it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.' The Russian 'hoax" was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!" He reportedly told Russian President Vladimir Putin to "cut it out".
But a moment later he said, "I believe that it could have been Russian Federation and it could have been any one of many other people".
The indictments brought by Mueller alleges that the Russian campaign was launched in 2014, initially as an effort to undermine confidence in the USA political system. It's essentially used to encourage people to think before they tweet.
Trump also authorized a strike on a Syrian air base that U.S. intelligence sources believed was involved in chemical-weapons attacks on civilians. I'm not at all upset that I'm on this list.
The question of whom they should believe - the president or his advisers - has befuddled European officials.
In January 2016, the USA agreed to settle an Iranian claim, paying the $400 million and committing to follow up and pay $1.3 billion in interest, for a total of $1.7 billion. He actually is responsible for America's foreign policy. Where were the demands from Big Media for President Obama to do something about it?
The next time someone rolls out a cage containing an actor impersonating a presidential candidate, it could be seen as a legitimate reason to investigate: What if the Russians (the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Iranians) are behind this?
Prigozhin's catering company has worked for the Kremlin and he has been nicknamed "Putin's chef".
"I'd caution everybody to not believe that this is yet over, because there's lots of other places where Director Mueller to look regarding potential Russian involvement in all this", said Christie, a Republican. Americans are left to draw their own conclusions.
US intelligence agencies, however, have reached no such conclusion. Iran paid more than $2.5 billion to US businesses and citizens to resolve claims. One diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid provoking Trump, asked whether policymakers like McMaster who adhere largely to traditional USA foreign policy positions were falling into the same trap as Germany's elite during Hitler's rise, when they continued to serve in government in the name of protecting their nation.
My American readers may not care much about that: Serves us Russians right for putting up with Putin.

Kirk, Giovanni come away with medals; Adrian's time changed
Annette Griffus
Dana Kirk, a Bremerton native and 2004 Olympian, won the 50-yard butterfly Sunday at the U.S. Masters Spring National Championships in Santa Clara, Calif.
Kirk finished in 24.97 seconds in the 25-29 age division, just off the national age-group record of 24.41 by Tanica Jamison in 2010. Kirk had an impressive weekend, placing first in the 100 individual medley, the 50 and 100 fly and third in the 50 and 100 free.

Dr. Melissa Giovanni, a graduate of Central Kitsap and former member of Olympic Aquatic Club in Bremerton, earned six top-10 medals at the nationals during her three days of competition. Giovanni finished fourth in the 400 individual medley in 5 minutes, 12.0 seconds in the 30-34 age division. She also placed fifth in the 1,000 freestyle (11:27.21), sixth in the 200 free (2:03.24), seventh in the 50 free (25.82 seconds) and eighth in the 500 free (5:37.42). Giovanni also placed in four relays.
Also, Masters swimming clarified Nathan Adrian's time in the 100 free on Saturday as 41.13. It's still a national age-group record. USMS announced a timing error had recorded his time at 41.08.
One more thing, check out this great clip of Nathan talking about his 92-year-old teammate.

Kirk, Adrian continue to win at US Masters nationals
This weekend is making me a reminisce a little.
Fourteen years ago I started covering swimming on the peninsula, just about the time that the sport really started gaining ground and national recognition thanks to a handful of swimmers from Bremerton and Bainbridge.
Those swimmers included breaststroker Tara Kirk, sister and butterflyer Dana Kirk of Bremerton, Helen Silver, backstroke, and sister Emily Silver, freestyle, of Bainbridge Island and Bremerton's Justin Adrian, fly/free and eventually his brother Nathan Adrian.
It was an exciting time as I was able to travel to California for a week where the Kirks were attending Stanford and Helen Silver was at California, and we ran that story when I came back. The following year in 2004 we went to Long Beach for the U.S. Olympic Trials and watched as both Tara and Dana made the Olympic team — the first time sisters had made the same team in USA Swimming history. The Silvers and Justin competed as well so there was a lot for one hometown reporter to cover. I distinctly remember Justin being so stoked to swim in the final of the 100 butterfly, a race won by Michael Phelps, before he officially called it the end of his career.
After the Kirks made the team it wasn't long before I received a call from our editor at the time to let me know that the paper was going to send myself and a photographer to Athens to cover the Olympics. I'll never forget my two weeks there as we tried to cover the world's biggest sporting spectacle from the outside looking in. Because we didn't have full credentials we spent a lot of time with the Kirks' parents, Jeff and Margaret, as they toured Athens, the Acropolis and went to beach parties and such.
We did manage to find our way into one swimming event, Tara's 100 breaststroke final, and that was thrilling. She lead after the first 50 meters and I remember sitting in the stands, my photographer trying to shoot from the stands (yes, we weren't supposed to) and thinking that 'I'm watching the Olympics and our hometown swimmer is trying to win a medal.' Surreal.
Jumping ahead to Saturday, it's been great seeing Dana competing at the U.S. Masters Spring National Championships at Santa Clara, Calif. She gave the U.S. trials one more shot in 2012 (good for her as a back injury curtailed her career far too soon) and now that she's coaching I'm sure it's also been fun to get back into the competition pool.
Dana won the 100-yard individual medley in the 25-29 age category in 57.75 seconds. She also finished third in the 100 free in 52.36.
Nathan continues to be the best American sprinter. He won the 100 free in the 25-29 age category in a national age-group record of 41.08, besting the previous time of Darian Townsend's mark of 42.13 from last Dec. Townsend finished second in Saturday's race in 43.13. That means Nathan won by almost two seconds. Wow. The time also tied his American record.
Dana has one more race Sunday and I'll post another update then.

Bremerton's Adrian, Kirk win US Masters titles

(Mike Lewis, olavistaphotography.com via swimswam.com)
A week after winning two individual titles at the Arena Grand Prix meet in Mesa, Ariz., Nathan Adrian of Bremerton won the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. Masters Spring National Championships in Santa Clara, Calif., Friday.
Adrian touched the wall in 18.78 seconds in the 25-29 category, just off the national record of 18.67 by Fred Bousquet of France in February 2010. He also helped The Olympic Club win the 200 medley relay in 1:26.71, along with Cal training partner Anthony Ervin and Andrew Saeta and Nolan Koon.
Nathan wasn't the only Bremerton native to pick up a national title in the short-course yards meet.
Already the owner of numerous junior, national and collegiate swimming titles as well as winning the 2004 U.S. Olympic trials in the 200 butterfly, you can add U.S. Masters national champion to Dana Kirk's resume too.
Kirk won the 100 butterfly in 54.03 in the 25-29 category. She was also third in the 50 free in 24.00. Katherine Raatz won in 23.40.
Kirk is slated to swim the 100 freestyle Saturday, as is Nathan. He is seeded first while Dana is seeded sixth.

Video extra: Emily Silver and Jason Lezak
I really enjoy seeing our Olympic swimmers still out and about in communities and having some fun along the way.
This video is by swimoutlet.com and features Olympic champion Jason Lezak and Bainbride's silver medalist Emily Silver in a Gold Medal Delivery at the USMS Nationals not long ago.
I especially liked the autograph signing when Emily signed the fan's head!

Bainbridge's Lindley finishes USMS Nationals meet
Bainbridge Aquatic Masters club swimmer Jane Lindley has completed her events at the U.S. Masters Spring National Championships in Indianapolis this weekend.
Lindley, who is competing in the 50-54 age division, finished 12th in the 50-meter backstroke in 35.55 seconds; 13th in the 50 butterfly in 35.04; and 14th in the 100 freestyle in one minute, 5.32 seconds.
She placed 11th in Sunday's 50 freestyle in 29.48.
Bainbridge native and Olympic silver medalist Emily Silver is also at the nationals, but she's not competing. Silver is there with swimoutlet.com and has been on hand to present gold medals, along with Olympic champion Jason Lezak, and working with USMS on video recaps of the meet. Emily is doing a good job and becoming quite a talented sideline reporter.

BAM's Lindley headed to U.S. Masters nationals
First off, I'm sorry I have posted in a while, but as the high school playoffs heat up around here my time becomes very limited. I'll do my best to be more diligent.
That said, I wanted to take a moment to write about a local masters swimmer who will be heading to the United States Masters Spring National Championships, Friday-Sunday at Indianapolis' Natatorium — which looks a LOT like KCAC in Federal Way.
Jane Lindley
Bainbridge Aquatic Masters swimmer Jane Lindley will be competing in her second national championships.
I'll have a story on her, her training/diet and what she hopes to accomplish at nationals in Friday's edition, but also wanted to post her schedule here.
Lindley, who has a swim blog of her own at see-jane-swim.com, will swim in the 50-meter backstroke on Friday at 7:45 a.m. Pacific. She will compete in the 100 freestyle Saturday at 7:50 a.m. and the 50 butterfly at 8:50 a.m. and finish her individual events in the 50 free on Sunday at 11:10 a.m.
She is joined by 35 other Puget Sound masters swimmers and will swim in relays as well.
The usms.org website will be livestreaming the meet, so you can watch Lindley at the times listed above.

Discussion in 'Windows 10' started by Enthousiast, Dec 19, 2018.
lol finally. that was annoying. this should be fine for me. pending Intel. whatever.
Anyone know the Windows Sandbox Package name? The windows optional feature name is Containers-DisposableClientVM I believe.
Turned on Windows Sandbox & its working after restart.
Sandbox shuts down w/ a Error box but closes when clicking the OK button.
This new Windows 10 looks to be the most promising yet, I'm actually excited about some of the stuff, which is the first for a feature update. For some reason though I am not able to use it in VMware, the install fails, legacy, UEFI, doesn't matter. Gonna try the new build see if I can install it.
EDIT: the new build seems to start to install just fine in VMware, nice.


For a second I was afraid the AEJMC Convention, which starts tomorrow, was going to be something I heard about months later, but a quick Technorati search shows that there are, in fact, bloggers in San Antonio doing their thing. Thanks, y'all. I'll be there next year in San Francisco.

Temperature-dependent development and cold tolerance of microtheca ochroloma (coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a pest of cruciferous crops in the southeastern United States

The yellowmargined leaf beetle, Microthecaochroloma (Stl) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae ), is an adventive pest of cruciferous crops in the southeastern United States. Despite its pest status, there is limited information about the infiuence of temperature on development and survival of M. ochroloma. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of temperature on the development and survival of immature stages, and determine the cold tolerance of immature and adult stages. Development was evaluated at 15,20, 25, and 30°C, and cold tolerance was measured at 5,0, and-5°C inside environmentally controlled chambers. Survival of M. ochroloma from egg to adult was ≈80% at 15,20, and 25°C, but only 24% at 30°C. Mean developmental time was longest at 15°C (57 d) and shortest at 30 °C (17 d). Leaf area consumed by the fourth instar was 7.4-fold lower at 30°C compared with consumption at 15, 20, or 25°C. The lower developmental threshold varied from 7.3 to 9.8°C and the total degree-days required to complete development from egg to adult was 333. At 5,0, and-5°C, the LT90 values for the first instar were shorter compared with all other stadia, suggesting that the first instar is the most susceptible to cold temperatures. Eggs were most cold tolerant, followed by pupae and adults. Based on the LT50 (13d) andLT90 (38d) of eggs at 0°C, the predicted northern distribution of M. ochroloma extends to Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, and Virginia. © 2012 Entomological Society of America. © 2012 Entomological Society of America.

For most people, transitioning from a town of 10,000 people to a metropolis with a population of over 12 million might seem like a daunting task – for me, it seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
My third day in Manila – a panoramic view facing Manila Bay!
In July 2015 I left my quaint life in North Carolina and moved to Manila to fulfill a year-long position as the Princeton in Asia Fellow for the Hinrich Foundation. I was extremely excited to start this new chapter in my life, working for an international charitable foundation while immersing myself in the vibrant culture of the Philippines!
Enjoying the rooftop view of Kowloon City while visiting scholars at Hong Kong Baptist University.
I hit the ground running at Hinrich Foundation, eager to gain a deep understanding of our three main programs while establishing strong relationships with my coworkers through my flexible job role.
I especially enjoyed my experience working with the Export Assistance Program, which allowed me to get a first-hand experience with the suppliers we are assisting through fieldwork with our Export Consultant, Lycah. Meeting wonderful individuals like Ms. Lisa Fonseca and seeing the lives we were impacting inspired me to work even harder than before!
All smiles for Lycah and I as we worked with Mrs. Lisa Fonseca, one of our suppliers in the Export Assistance Program.
Before I knew it, it was late October and time for the Global Sources Trade Show in Hong Kong. This would be my first trip outside of the Philippines, and I was thrilled to further my international exposure while also connecting with my coworkers and friends in the world-renowned city.
I had a full itinerary for the trip, with plans to visit both of our partner universities, meet all of our scholars, and interview as many alumni as possible regarding their experience with the foundation. I also had the privilege of manning the Hinrich Foundation booth at the show, allowing me to educate dozens of new contacts about the amazing work of the foundation. It turns out that the trip was even more enjoyable than I had imagined, both professionally and personally!

Little did I know that my short time in Hong Kong would lead to lasting relationships with my friends and coworkers whom I met during my stay. In February, I decided to travel to Vietnam to visit a friend in PiA who has spent the past year teaching English at the University of Can Tho.
After a few day in Can Tho, Fred and I made our way up to Ho Chi Minh City, where we met up with my coworkers and friends from Hinrich Foundation. It was an awesome experience being able to introduce my two friend groups and see how things in our Vietnam office operated! The visit further strengthened our friendship and allowed the Vietnam team to introduce me to the important aspects of their culture and life.
An awesome Friday night out in the city with PiA and Hinrich Foundation friends! From left to right: Dory, Fred, Ly, Tirot, myself, Mai, Ella & Moon.
Overall, the experience as a PiA Fellow working at the Hinrich Foundation has made for one of the best years of my life! As I wrap up the final few months of my fellowship, I look forward to continuing my efforts to make the very most of this unique place and position!
Alex Ward is the 2015-2016 Princeton in Asia Fellow at the Hinrich Foundation, and has spent the majority of his fellowship developing the Hinrich Foundation Alumni Association online platform and working with the Education Team on various projects.
Alex graduated from Elon University in 2014 and hopes to continue his journey in Asia after the conclusion of his fellowship with PiA. His year living in the Philippines has led to an incredible variety of experiences which have pushed him to do more and live life to the fullest!


We are a 1 year old farm in transition to organic farming practices. From rain water harvesting to permaculture farming planning, we are in the infrastructure building phase. This spring, we will be building an aquaponics system, greenhouse, barn, and root cellar while planting the bermed beds that have been in production for one year to build composted beds rich in minerals and nutrients.

Hand restored
Rev. Smith's hand was restored today after he had been without it for nearly three weeks. "It's still a little bit tender," said Smith, holding up his newly-restored hand. "I can't really grasp things with it just yet, but I think that will come in time." After giving up on tracking down his original severed hand, Smith was briefly depressed until the other night when he was watching reruns of Family Ties on late night TV and happened to see an add for Nivea Hand Restoring Creme. "This stuff is amazing," said Smith. "In little over 24 hours, my hand is almost completely restored!"

Vicious cycle avoided
Deciding that he just can't feel like a complete man without his right hand, Smith set out this week to re-acquire his missing appendage. At first overjoyed when an anonymous e-mail informant tipped him off that his hand was up for sale on eBay, Smith's hopes were crushed when a last minute bidding war drove the price way out of his range. "$429,572?" exclaimed Smith, "I've never even seen that kind of money!" Smith briefly considered hacking off his left leg and selling it to finance the purchase of his hand, but worried he might later regret that decision.

Smith to rule with iron fist
A finely sculpted fist made of pure iron was affixed to Rev. Smith's wrist this morning, and by mid-afternoon Smith held a press conference announcing his plans to dominate the Earth. "Bow down to me," barked Smith into a faulty megaphone as a small group of local news reporters and indigents looked on, "or face the awesome power of my fist!" Smith then demonstrated his newfound strength by placing an empty soda can atop the podium and flattening it. The podium then collapsed and it was revealed that Smith was not wearing pants. After an uncomfortable moment of silence, Smith sneezed and accidentally knocked himself out cold while trying to cover his nose.
Hook for hand
Rev. Smith went shopping today for a hook to replace his recently amputated right hand. "Does this hook make me look fat?" Smith was overheard asking fellow shoppers while trying on hook after hook at McAllister's on 4th Street. Smith ended up forgoing the swankier models for an inexpensive plastic hook that came as part of a Halloween pirate ensemble. "I don't plan on wearing the eye patch or the plastic parrot on my shoulder too often," said Smith. "But that puffy shirt is right up my alley." Smith then sneezed and accidentally hooked himself in the nose while trying to cover it up.

Smith sells hand for $372,000
Worshipped as a saint even before his death, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith and his various body parts have long been the subject of interest by those who traffic in holy relics. Finding himself in the grasp of a severe financial bind recently, Smith decided to "cash in one of his chips early" by selling his right hand to the highest bidder. "I'm really going to miss that hand," said Smith wistfully after lopping it off with a hand axe, "but hey, $372,000 is nothing to sneeze at."

Brick Testament reviewed on KFOG radio
"An astounding artistic achievment...by a truly enlightened soul" says reviewer Kevin Hunsanger of Green Apple Books in San Francisco, regarding Rev. Smith's The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis. Hunsanger was a special guest on the Bay Area's KFOG radio this morning, and reviewed many new book releases, but "saved the best for last" with his praise of Smith's book. KFOG is the Bay Area's "World Class Rock" and can be heard at 104.5 in San Francisco and 97.7 in San Jose.
Smith wins race in record time
Rev. Smith won a race today in record time. "This was an impressive performance," said Smith's coach, "I really didn't think he had it in him." Others agreed: "I don't know how he pulled it off," said a friend, "I've never considered Smith particularly 'fast'." Many had discounted Smith's chances before the race even began, due to his unspecified injury. "That injury really looked like it was bothering at first," noted one spectator, "but he just took off." As of press time the nature of this race remained unclear.
