A common challenge for MSE undergraduates is to weave the concepts being learned in their various courses into a unified framework. The conventional materials paradigm provides a manner for considering the interrelationships of structure, properties, processing, and performance. But is this the clearest way to unify the various aspects of a material? Does the paradigm suggest ways to permit integrative thinking and synthesis of concepts and ideas? We will consider the conventional MSE paradigm from several perspectives. We argue that the classical tetrahedron shape representing the paradigm is unnecessarily close-formed. In particular it diminishes the central role of structure in defining mechanism, which was the critical contribution of the first generations of Materials Scientists. In effect, these intellectual pioneers created a new way of thinking - one that was quantitative, nested, and considered in parallel. One can argue that what they had in fact created was an integrated bottom-up philosophy based upon structure. Nonetheless, we will pursue other ways to represent the elements of the paradigm to better focus on structure and foster integrative thinking.

Ferdinand of Bavaria
Term ended
Ferdinand of Bavaria (German: Ferdinand von Bayern) (6 October 1577 - 13 September 1650) was Prince-elector archbishop of the Archbishopric of Cologne (Holy Roman Empire) from 1612 to 1650, as successor of Ernest of Bavaria. He was also prince-bishop of Hildesheim, Liège, Münster, and Paderborn.
Engraving of Ferdinand of Bavaria
Ferdinand was born in Munich, one of the sons of William V, Duke of Bavaria and Renata of Lorraine, a daughter of Francis I, Duke of Lorraine and granddaughter of Christian II of Denmark. He may have been named in honor of his paternal great-grandfather, Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor.
His parents decided early that he would have church life, and they sent him to the Jesuit College of Ingolstadt for education in early 1587. He quickly became a canon in Mainz, Cologne, Würzburg, Trier, Salzburg, and Passau. In 1595 he became Prince-Provost of Berchtesgaden and the coadjutor of his uncle Ernest of Bavaria. His uncle retired from most duties associated with his office, leaving Ferdinand to run the many lands he ruled. When Ernest died in 1612, Ferdinand was elected the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and the Prince-Bishop of Liège, Hildesheim, Münster, and, from 1618, Paderborn. Ferdinand never received ordination, exercising princely rule but appointing auxiliary bishops to carry out his religious duties.
Ferdinand worked hard throughout his reign to promote Catholicism in his lands. He pushed reforms and adoption of the Council of Trent's objectives, and improved the position of the Wittelsbachs in Germany. In 1612 he attempted to get his brother Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria elected the Holy Roman Emperor, although Maximilian rejected the crown.
In 1618 the Thirty Years' War broke out. Ferdinand had initial success in supporting the Catholic leaders and keeping his dioceses safe from war with Spanish aid, although these lands were devastated after Sweden entered the war. By the end of the war, Swedish, Spanish, French and Imperial armies had all fought in and raided the bishoprics. In 1642 Ferdinand appointed his nephew Maximilian Henry coadjutor and he retired from most of the temporal affairs of the dioceses.
In the period of the persecution of witches (1435 - 1655) 37 people were executed in Cologne, mostly during Ferdinand's reign as Archbishop of Cologne. The most famous victim of his witch-hunt was Katharina Henot.
Ferdinand died in 1650 in the ducal Westphalian capital Arnsberg and was buried in Cologne Cathedral. He was succeeded by Maximilian Henry of Bavaria.

Maryland's Light Rail service brings together an eclectic mix of individuals. Boarding a light rail train to downtown Baltimore recently was an adventure. The car I boarded was jam-packed, so I ascended the steps and joined other standees in the aisle, doing my best to hold tight to an empty spot on the railing and trying not to crash into other passengers as the train cars careened along.
She and I ended up as standing-pole buddies; the car rocked along the track and we kept jostling against each other as we held tight to the same pole. As the train approached downtown, more people exited at each stop. Eventually seats opened up and we both found places to sit.
"Are you the one I kept bumping into?" a voice from across the aisle said. The sense that someone was talking to me jarred my gaze from the window scene onto her. She was looking at me expectantly, so indeed she was talking to me. "Well, it was good that we both found seats, wasn't it?" I replied cheerily. "And none too soon—my leg is still giving me trouble," was her response. She then proceeded to engage in conversation with others nearby who had boarded with her and who referred to her as Momma B. I resumed looking out the window but was aware of her sharing about her lawsuit, how she was still going to rehab, how she needed $2 right away, and could anyone help her, thank you very much.
Momma B appeared to be someone who had had her share of struggles in life—lame leg, missing lower teeth, needing $2. Her own hair was combed straight up and held in place by a cloth headband, giving her a strange mushroom appearance. Her earlier comment about suing Maryland Light Rail a second time made me wonder if I would regret talking with her.
But that wasn't the case. Not at all. We chatted about where in town I was going and she was very helpful regarding what train stop I should take and where to walk from there. She was an engaging person. And she took the initiative to compliment me. There was something Franciscan in this encounter—perhaps more coming from her than from me.

LOI signed for A$69 million sale of Nueva Esperanza
June 30, 2021 /in News /by Simon Pierce
Letter of Intent signed for A$69 million sale of Nueva Esperanza
Kingsgate Consolidated Limited ("Kingsgate" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with TSXV listed TDG Gold Corp ("TDG") outlining terms for the acquisition of the Company's Nueva Esperanza advanced gold-silver exploration and development project, located in the Maricunga Belt of the Atacama Region of Northern Chile.
The transaction is subject to the parties entering into a legally binding agreement, as well as certain conditions being met. These conditions include board approval, due diligence, and completion by TDG of a financing of at least C$35 million. TDG is in the process of completing this financing, however, there can be no guarantee that the transaction will proceed.
The total value of the deal is approximately A$69.1 million1 and is a combination of cash and equity, that will both strengthen Kingsgate's balance sheet, and importantly retain ongoing exposure to the gold and silver markets. The key details of the deal are as follows:
C$25 million2 cash payable to Kingsgate upon completion of the transaction;
Kingsgate will be issued 14.0% of TDG's outstanding common shares calculated on a post-closing basis (inclusive of any shares issued in a concurrent financing and with an option to increase the holding up to 19.9%);
C$6.25 million is payable to Kingsgate within 3 months of completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study;
A payment of C$5 million or 10 million TDG shares at their discretion to be issued at the point of a construction decision;
A payment of $C5 million or 10 million in TDG shares at their discretion at the one-year production anniversary;
A payment of C$8.75 million at the 2-year production anniversary; and
Kingsgate will have a representative on the TDG board.
The Executive Chairman of Kingsgate, Mr Ross Smyth-Kirk said "We are delighted with this opportunity to go into partnership with TDG, an exciting new Canadian gold and silver company.
We've worked very diligently over a long period of time to get the best deal on Nueva Esperanza, and we think this will represent excellent value for our shareholders", he said.
About TDG
TDG is a major holder of mineral claims and mining leases in the historical Toodoggone Production Corridor of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with over 23,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration opportunities under direct ownership or earn-in agreement.
TDG's flagship projects are the former producing, high-grade gold-silver Shasta, Baker and Mets mines which are all road accessible, produced intermittently between 1981-2012, and have over 65,000 metres of historical drilling.
In 2021, TDG proposes to advance the projects through compilation of historical data, new geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, and drill testing of the known mineralisation occurrences and their extensions. TDG currently has 64,423,459 common shares issued and outstanding. For more information see: TSXV:TDG or https://tdggold.com.
The value of the deal is approximately A$69.1 million and is a combination of cash and equity. Under the terms of the proposed transaction TDG will acquire all of the shares in Kingsgate's Chilean subsidiary Laguna Resources Chile Limitada. Completion of the proposed acquisition would be subject to a number of conditions precedent, including completion of satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and settlement of a binding definitive agreement, and receipt of regulatory approvals.
The LOI will be terminable by either party if the parties have not entered into a binding definitive agreement by 16 July 2021, or such other date as determined by the parties.
The LOI contemplates a date for completion of 31 August 2021, which date may be extended by the agreement of the parties.
The completion of a successful transaction on Nueva Esperanza would ensure the financial security of Kingsgate going forward while still giving excellent exposure to the gold and silver markets through its holdings in TDG.
This is turn would provide excellent optionality around the ongoing negotiations with Thailand to achieve a negotiated settlement under TAFTA. This may include the use of proceeds from Nueva Esperanza to refurbish and restart the Chatree Gold Mine if a negotiated settlement can be achieved and all licences and permits granted.
If all the licences and permits are granted the Chatree Gold Mine would have an estimated JORC compliant resource of 3.4 million ounces of gold (4Mt at 0.65g/t Au and 5.59g/t Ag) and an ore reserve of 0.09 million ounces of gold (2.5Mt at 1.1g/t Au and 17.6g/t Ag) respectively. Please see ASX:KCN release titled "Kingsgate Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2020", dated 2 September 2020. Kingsgate is currently in the process of costing the refurbishment and restart of the operation.
Kingsgate cannot guarantee reaching a negotiated settlement with the Thai Government. However, the TAFTA framework and claim to date remains in place in the event that a settlement cannot be reached.
Investment Forums
Kingsgate from time to time becomes aware of various comments made about the company on investment forums, social media or in the Thai media. As previously stated, Kingsgate would urge shareholders with concerns to contact the company directly for information and to refer to trusted sources such as the ASX platform or company website for updates.

Calculated on an AUD-CAD exchange rate of A$1:00 is equal to C$0.93 as at 29 June 2021.

As part of our Everyday Heroes topic, Reception and our Nurseries had an exciting morning with a visit from two fire fighters and a fire engine. The firemen delivered a talk on what they do to keep us safe and how we can keep ourselves and others safe in an emergency.

I thought back about a dozen years ago or so, and I thought about what I would have shared had this title been assigned to me back then. Back then I would have been excited to talk about this subject. …..I would have talked to you about how more useful you can be to God if you can somehow get to that point of being independently wealthy. …..But something happened to me. ….I had what I'm going to call an "uh-oh moment". I don't know how many of you know what an "uh-oh moment" is. Let me tell you about it.
We're here to talk about treasures in heaven. Now, heaven is a real place. We all believe that. Do you know treasures in heaven are also real? They're not just imaginary. They're just as real as when you move money from your checking account to your savings account. You expect to see that again. Right? Ok, well treasures in heaven are the same way. They're not an expense, they're an investment.

Tesla's Autonomy Day Presentation Leaves Biggest Questions Unanswered
Tesla's extraordinary "Full Self-Driving" claims require extraordinary proof, and that's not what today's investor presentation provided.
By Edward Niedermeyer April 22, 2019

Tesla has always approached autonomous drive technology differently than anyone else working toward self-driving vehicles, and that unique approach was on full display during its lengthy presentation to investors. Starting with its aspiration to build Level 5 autonomous vehicles capable of operating in any and all conditions, continuing through its dismissal of lidar and high definition maps as "crutches," its rejection of sensor redundancy and its prediction that unsupervised autonomy will be ready in one short year, Tesla is in its own world when it comes to this technology.
Given that perceptions of Tesla are extremely polarized, this is generally interpreted one of two ways. People either believe that Tesla is so far ahead of every other autonomous drive developer that it can't help but buck the consensus in the space, or they believe that Tesla is pursuing an impossible path toward self-driving vehicles and is trying to bluff its way to a perception of technological leadership. I had hoped that today's comprehensive presentation might open up space for a more nuanced middle ground in this debate, but if anything the divided perspectives grew even further apart over the course of the day.
Though Tesla didn't provide meaningful answers to the questions that skeptics have been raising about its autonomous drive program, it did provide a greater level of detail about the hardware and software it says will power its robotaxis. The event kicked off with a presentation about its new "Full Self-Driving Computer," a dedicated neural net accelerator designed by a Tesla team led by former Apple engineer Pete Bannon, and included presentations on its neural net training techniques and software integration, as well as some early projections about the economics of its "Tesla Network" robotaxi system. Alternating between dense and nerdy details at times, and trite and simplistic gloss at others, the information provided was peppered with CEO Elon Musk's trademark confidence as well as his talent for overlooking huge questions about Tesla's approach to this complex technology.
Ever since Tesla announced that all its vehicles had hardware capable of full self-driving back in October of 2016, much of the criticism directed at the company's hardware focused on its relatively meager sensor suite compared to what full-stack Level 4 AV developers use. Tesla continues to insist that its single forward radar and surround cameras are sufficient for its vision-based autonomous drive system, despite the fact that companies like Waymo use four radar units for 360 degree coverage as well as short, medium and long-range lidar units on top of surround cameras. Tesla has admitted that the NVIDIA Drive PX/2 processors it equipped starting in 2016 are insufficient for full self-driving, and it revealed fresh details about its new processor which it now says is the only hardware upgrade needed to achieve Level 5 autonomy.
Musk calls the new custom processor "objectively the best chip in the world," claiming that the redundant Samsung-built 14 nanometer processor makes the new board capable of 144 TOPS (trillion operations per second) using less than 100 Watts of total power draw. It's also 20% cheaper than the NVIDIA units currently in use, according to Tesla, although for sheer power the NVIDIA Drive AGX Pegasus beats it out at 320 TOPS (albeit at 500 Watts of power consumption). So this new hardware may be among the best in the world for this application on a power per watt and power per dollar basis, but if only makes a difference if Tesla's only hardware bottleneck is on the processor side. Meanwhile, Musk revealed that Tesla is already working on a next-generation version of its processor that he says is two years out and will offer three times the capability.
Tesla's Andrej Karpathy gave a presentation on Tesla's deep learning approach to autonomous drive, talking up the huge amounts of data the company supposedly gets from its fleet, and explaining how that data is used to refine its neural nets. He admitted that labeling the sheer volume of data Tesla gets is labor-intensive and expensive, but said that it is doing more automated labeling with things like the "cut-in" neural net intended to help Teslas negotiate vehicles cutting into their lane. By labeling cut-ins, they train the system to anticipate them, run that system in "shadow mode" for validation, refine it further and eventually deploy the system. Musk and Karpathy present this approach as an alternative to simulation training, which they say can't provide the kinds of data found in the real world, but this argument seems to ignore the approach that Waymo, NVIDIA and others take, pulling scenarios from real-world driving and replaying them in simulation with myriad "fuzzed" permutations of each decision.
Karpathy also described the self-supervision approach to machine learning that Tesla uses to turn camera images into something approximating the 3D point clouds generated by lidar, which the company says makes expensive sensors irrelevant. Both Musk and Karpathy repeatedly dismissed the need for lidar and 360 degree radar, by arguing that humans drive using only their eyes and that even radar is only necessary in front of the vehicle. This gets to one of the most important facts of autonomous vehicle development: creating basic functionality is the relatively easy part of making a vehicle drive itself, the hard part is validating safety to the necessary extent. Though it is possible to build out that functionality using vision alone, as validation goes on and tougher scenarios are encountered sensor redundancy becomes more and more important. Ensuring that the system can be confident of what it is seeing helps make for good prediction and path planning, and each extra sensor you have available to validate perception increases that confidence level.
Musk's prediction that "Full Self-Driving" will be "feature complete" by the end of this year, and that it will be validated to the point of not requiring human supervision by the second quarter of next year suggests that Tesla could be wildly underestimating the amount of validation that this will require and the challenges that validation could present. Yes, Tesla will have access to lots of data with which to validate the system but unlike professional testers Tesla's customers won't be identifying and annotating every challenging situation they come across meaning they will have to sift through a haystack of data looking for the needles they need to worry about. Without multiple diverse and redundant sensors covering 360 degrees around each car, the data they receive about particularly tricky situations may not even be sufficient to identify the problems or teach a solution. Meanwhile, those customers will have to battle the natural tendency toward complacency and remain alert for situations where the minimal sensor suite isn't able to fully understand a complex driving scene since they will be the system's safety net.
If, during this validation process, the data shows that the system is unable to distinguish complex situations using cameras alone (and radar for the area directly in front of the car) and has learned erroneously from its incomplete picture of the world, progress could be derailed. Due to the lack of visibility into neural net functions, which are more or less a "black box," any significant problems that emerge from validation could require Tesla to roll back its progress and re-train its perception system. This is why it takes millions of miles of validation to even have a basic level of confidence in a given software build, and why AV developers opt for "sensor overkill" despite the high cost of lidar and radar. Since you're never quite sure what inferences and correlations a neural net is making, ensuring that its input is as precise and granular as possible can prevent massive setbacks when validation uncovers problems that crept into the system without anyone ever noticing.
This did not prevent Musk from running wild with predictions about what Teslas will be able to accomplish one year from now, when he predicts the system will be good enough to drive with no human oversight. Using a "Tesla Network" ride-hailing app, customers will be able to put their Teslas to work while idle, earning as much as $30,000 per vehicle per year according to the company. Predictions of a $.18 cost per mile, the ability to earn $.65 per mile in gross profit, and a million miles of reliable performance are all wildly speculative even without taking into consideration the challenges of developing autonomous vehicle technology itself. The vision of a million Teslas operating 24 hours per day, with Tesla getting 20-30% of their revenues, is the kind of vision that takes investors focus off the challenging and low-margin business of making and selling cars... while potentially reinvigorating flagging consumer demand for the company's vehicles.
That, after all, is what Tesla's autonomous drive technology efforts have always been about: pumping up the company's stock price while boosting sales of its cars. Tesla's entire approach to the technology is defined by its need to keep its traditional car business humming along: it was stuck with its minimal sensor suite for fear of making its cars too expensive, and the idea of a "Tesla Network" is a bizarre amalgamation of a shared mobility future and Tesla's current traditional OEM business model. Since Tesla built its car business before it realized the potential for autonomous drive technology to transform it, it has had to twist the possibilities this new technology opens to fit the business it already built. Ironically for a so-called Silicon Valley "disruptor," Tesla's approach to autonomy is a textbook example of "the innovator's dilemma."
Rather than building dedicated robotaxis for fleets, Tesla has turned the robotaxi vision into a pitch to private owners: buy our premium sports sedan today, and tomorrow it will earn you money. Because of this distributed approach to fleet ownership, Tesla can't take the geofenced Level 4 approach that others have, forcing it to take on far more challenges by promising that its cars will drive themselves in any and all conditions. At the same time, all this has to happen with a sensor suite that was designed to keep costs to a level that keeps the vehicle in reach of private customers. It also requires Tesla to promise that full self-driving capability will be available soon, so that people will purchase cars today in hopes of it earning its keep as a robotaxi before they want or need to buy a new car.
The problem is that these decisions that are driven by the need to protect and boost Tesla's current business are not the right ones for the eventual robotaxi business. Purpose-built robotaxis will be more robust and easily-serviced than Tesla's premium sports sedans, they can use more expensive and capable sensor suites since they will be bought by fleet companies not individuals, and they can be developed around specific geographic areas thus reducing the number of potential edge cases and challenges. Tesla is trying to portray these characteristics as the product of poor approaches or technological shortcomings by other AV developers, but they are in fact the products of a more focused, ground-up development approach with higher safety standards. Tesla's cheaper yet more ambitious vehicles are the product of its existing business model, not some unique technological advantage that nobody else in the space has figured out yet.
Ultimately, Musk has proven that his fans will consistently give him the benefit of the doubt and the early reactions to today's presentation suggests that many of them still believe that Tesla's approach must be intrinsically superior. But outside of that specific group, attitudes toward autonomous drive technology have become a lot more sober over the last year or so in the wake of the Uber Tempe crash and Tesla's presentation didn't address the long-standing concerns about its Level 5 ambitions, its minimal sensor suite, and the short timeline that leaves little room for thorough validation. Given that today's presentation failed to inspire the kind of run-up in Tesla's stock price that has come out of past Tesla hype-fests, it seems that the lack of answers to these pre-existing questions and concerns mean that Tesla is stuck preaching to its choir.
Musk has certainly pulled rabbits from a hat before, and a number of the people he has working on Full Self-Driving are well-respected, so it's not easy to simply dismiss Tesla's autonomy ambitions as pure fantasy. On the other hand, it's still not clear how Tesla will develop a more capable system using worse hardware in less time and at less cost than the competition and extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. As fascinating as what we saw today was, it fell well short of being the extraordinary proof Tesla needed. Tesla's autonomous drive technology leadership still requires an awful lot of faith.

soul, pop, singer-songwriter, 90s, rock
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel (born February 19, 1963 in Paddington, London) is a Grammy award winning English soul singer-songwriter of Nigerian and Brazilian descent, professionally known only by his first name, Seal. A childhood battle with discoid lupus left him with distinctive facial scarring and hair loss. He released his debut studio album Seal in 1991 and has since released 1994's Seal II, 1998's Human Being, 2003's Seal IV, 2007's System and 2010's Commitment. He has also released four live albums and three greatest hits collection albums. He was previously married to German supermodel Heidi Klum and they have three children together.
Music career
After a short time singing in local clubs and bars, in the 1980s, he joined Push, a British funk band, and toured with them in Japan. In Asia, he joined a blues band in Thailand for a while before separating from the group and journeying throughout India on his own. Seal returned to England, sleeping on the couch of friend Julian Bunster, then a model. He sometimes asked him "Do I sing well?"; to which he often met the response that he sang better than most current artists. His break came when he met the producer Adamski. He was given the lyrics of the song "Killer", which was a huge hit in 1990.
Seal (1991)
As the vocalist on the Adamski single "Killer", Seal became a hot property when the single reached number one in 1990 in the UK. Like many other Adamski tracks, the single was also a hit in night clubs. Seal subsequently signed to ZTT Records and released his debut album (produced by Trevor Horn), titled Seal, in 1991. Two versions of the album are known to be in circulation: the original "premix" version and a second, more common version with an updated mix. This is attributed to the demand for a produced single rushing the final album edit, and as Seal puts it, his and producer Horn's "inability to let go." The album was positively received by critics and the singles "Crazy", "Future Love Paradise", and his own rendition of "Killer" from the album all performed well on the charts, with "Crazy" becoming a big worldwide hit, reaching the number one in several countries. Excerpts from "Crazy" have been used as commercial background music, and more recently, Alanis Morissette has covered it.
His second album, also eponymous, was released in 1994. A critical success, the album featured the singles "Prayer for the Dying" and "Newborn Friend", receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. A third single, "Kiss from a Rose", performed modestly when released but was later featured in the film Batman Forever which resulted in its worldwide success. It went on to win Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1996 and became Seal's best performing single in the US market. Later, he recorded a cover of Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle" for the soundtrack of the film Space Jam, which was again a hit.
Human Being (1998)
Four years after the release of his previous album, in 1998, Seal released Human Being. The album was the product of a turbulent time in his life, including a split and later reconciliation with producer Horn as well as Seal's parting with ZTT Records and his signing with Warner Bros. Records in 1997. The record was critically panned upon its release. However, it received Gold record certification by the RIAA just two months after its release date. The album provided three singles, "Human Beings", "Latest Craze", and "Lost My Faith".
Failed Album: Togetherland
In 2001, fans awaited the arrival of a new album, announced as Togetherland. However, after a protracted post-production period the album was cancelled in its entirety. The official word was that Seal simply didn't think it made the grade, although this conflicts with other reports that said the album was turned down by the label, which felt that it wouldn't be commercially successful. Although one single was released from the album. "This Could Be Heaven" was released in the US and featured on the Family Man soundtrack. Since December 2006, Seal has been indicating that, while still feeling the album as a whole is "not worthy", he plans to excerpt certain cuts from Togetherland and make them available for streaming download.
Meanwhile, Seal made something of a comeback in dance and club scene when he co-wrote and provided vocals for the hit single "My Vision" from Jakatta in 2002.
In 2003, Seal released his fourth album, which was again self-titled, except for Australia, where it was released under Seal IV. Although it did not sell as much as either of his first two albums, this release brought him back into the public eye in the United States and continental Europe. Singles from the album included "Waiting For You", "Get It Together", and "Love's Divine" (released in 2004, and a big hit in several European countries).
Greatest Hits Album: Best 1991-2004
In 2004, a greatest hits album entitled Seal: Best 1991-2004 was released, including a cover of the Bacharach / David classic "Walk on By" and a cover of Echo and the Bunnymen's song "Lips Like Sugar".
Live In Paris (2004)
Also in 2004, Seal performed a couple of shows at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, France. The July 6, 2004 show was recorded and released about one year after as CD/DVD package, simply titled Live In Paris.
One Night To Remember (2006)
In June 2005, Seal recorded a special concert which was subsequently released in 2006 entitled One Night To Remember as CD/DVD whereby the DVD includes a special "the making of" documentary in addition to the live performance. Recorded in a historic steel mill, the Altes Kesselhaus ('old boiler house'), in Düsseldorf, Germany, this 16-track package includes a special version of Brahms' Lullaby which Seal sings in German and then in English for the exclusive audience. Unusually, he is accompanied by his band, and a full orchestra comprised of 52 musicians and singers. This CD/DVD is not yet available in the USA.
System (2007)
During his 2007 spring tour, Seal announced his new album, System, which was released in 2007. He said it would be more dance-oriented, apparently a return to the roots of his first album. Years active 1989 - present.
Main article: Soul (album)
Seal's sixth studio album Soul was released on 11 November 2008, in the United States and 3 November 2008, internationally, and contains eleven soul classics produced by David Foster. The video for the first single, a cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" is up on his official YouTube page. As well, he will be mentoring the top 9 on Deutschland sucht den Superstar and performing one of his songs from the album.
Seal coached the participants of Germany's TV show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (Popidol) in February/March 2009.
Main article: Hits (Seal album)
On 4 December 2009, Hits, a compilation album was released. It contains two new tracks, "I Am Your Man" and "Thank You".

My good friend's daughter is a competitive swimmer. For years now, swim moms in her community have gotten together to form a car pool to cart their daughters to the swimming pool every day before and after school. Over the years, my friend has done way more than her fair share for the car pool, and the whole experience was leaving both her and her daughter drained, unhappy and full of negativity. She didn't need this stress, she didn't need the countless hours on the road, and both her and her daughter didn't need the drama that takes place in the backseat of a car full of pre-teen girls.
This year, my friend has decided to (gasp) give up the car pool! In this one decision, I've never seen my friend happier. She joyfully tells the story of how she is giving up car pool and literally taking back control of her life.
So often we give control of our happiness and lives to another person, situation or habit. Jen Sincero writes about these toxic behaviours in her book "You Are A Badass" (link to book at bottom of post).
Giving up car pool was a tangible act for my friend, but how about you and me? What toxic behaviours are we letting creep into our lives and rob our happiness. More importantly, how do we take back control?
Work satisfaction – I still have friends who are so dissatisfied with their work situations, it makes me so very sad. And guilty! I have work that I love, but it didn't always be that way. If doing a complete job change is not realistic for you (and I do recommend that you explore this path first – the risk may be there but the reward is sooooo great ), try to infuse your job with new responsibilities and habits. Are you exercising your strengths at work? Look into ways of either using your strengths at work each and every day, or finding a career that allows you to exercise your strengths. Making small changes at work can help lessen the frustrations, disappointments and negativity.
Hobbies and interests – especially as adults and parents, our former hobbies and interests took a backseat to your kid's interests, or work commitments etc. Spend time on those hobbies again! I've always wanted to garden and try new creative things in the kitchen, but I let my work get in the way. Now, I'm channelling my inner Marie Klymchuk (my grandma) and making jams left right and centre. I love it, and it energizes me for the next day when I do have to return to work responsibilities. (that energy could also be all the English muffins smothered in jam talking).
Meditation – A huge part of my morning routine is taking some quiet time to be grateful and connect with God, my higher power. Whatever your higher power or energy is, taking time to connect with them on daily basis sets your compass a bit straighter and helps you stay focused on your unique calling. Are you new to meditation? Try this simple app from Headspace to get you started!
Exercise and diet – The foods you put in your body is a direct correlation to how you will feel, both positive and negative. Literally rid your body of negativity and toxins by cleansing them out a few times a year, and eating better. I like the Wildrose cleanse, there are tons of others that achieve the same. You'll feel better, lighter and more energized.
Friends – surrounding yourself with positive influences will definitely decrease your stress and increase your energy, but what about the friends that tend to bring you down, or have a perpetual cloud of negativity surrounding them? I'm not referring to when our friends are going through tough times – they need to lean on us for support and us on them in return. I'm referring to those individuals who actually prefer negativity to positivity and have no desire to change their outlook to positivity and happiness. This "doom and gloom" cloud will rub off on you if you're not careful. Distancing yourself from these people may set you up for more time to spend with people with positive vibes and a healthy energy.
Its impossible to rid our lives completely of stress-inducing moments, but hopefully by surrounding yourself with supportive people, feeding your mind and body with good nutrition and challenges, and spending time getting back to what makes you happy will help in setting you up for a happy, grateful life.

Q: import libtorrent not working I installed libtorrent-rasterbar on a mac with brew. After I installed I check if it was good installed with the command:
brew install libtorrent-rasterbar

And I get:
Warning: libtorrent-rasterbar-0.16.10 already installed
So installation looks to be ok.
If I go to python and type "import libtorrent" y get an error.
Also if I type:
>>>help('modules')

I dont see libtorrent in the list.
What I'm doing wrong?

A: Brew has nothing to do with Python. It'll just install system libraries. If you want to install libraries/modules for Python, you should use pip (recommended) or easy_install.
I couldn't find very good Python support for libtorrent in particular, although there is great support for other torrent libraries like PyTorrent.
If you must use libtorrent-rasterbar, there's a great tutorial on how to do it on Super User


Ichiro Inuyashiki is a boring old businessman alienated from both his family and company. One day, he is diagnosed with cancer. This sudden cancer diagnosis puts him on the path to self-destruction. However, he ends up gaining the power to become a super hero thanks to an unexpected accident. Meanwhile, a high-schooler named Hiro Shishigami gets involved in the same accident and decides to wield the power at his disposal.
The true nature of humans. It is good…or is it evil? These two will use the massive power in their hands for different purposes.
Hiroya Oku's manga is the source of this anime. The manga is completed with 10 volumes and was published between January 2014 and July 2017. Kodansha pubslihed it in their magazine Evening. It is available in English though Kodansha Comics USA in print or through Crunchyroll as digital copy.
A salaryman so wrinkly and grey that he doesn't look like his true age of 58.
One day while walking his dog, Hanako, he got caught up in an event involving a UFO and was reborn as a machine.
Having lost his human body, he tries to attain feelings by using his power to help people in need.
A two-sided character who cares deeply for his mother and childhood friend, Ando, but is completely uninterested in anyone else.
Caught up in the same incident as Inuyashiki, he is reborn as a robot but turns to crime to attain a sense of feeling.

Before the Beginning
Lothian Children's Books
General fiction (Children's / Teenage)
The story of four friends, a mysterious stranger, and the week when everything changed. For fans of We Were Liars.
Schoolies week: that strange in-between time when teenagers move from school into the adult world. It's a week when anything is possible, and everything can change.
Grace is questioning everything she thought about herself, and has opted not to join her clique of judgemental friends for schoolies, instead tagging along with her brother Casper and his friends. Casper, an artist, is trying to create the perfect artwork for his uni application folio. Overachieving, anxiety-ridden Noah is reeling from a catastrophe that might have ruined his ATAR result. And Elsie is just trying to figure out how to hold their friendship group together.
On the first night of the trip, they meet Sierra, a mysterious girl with silver-grey hair and a magnetic personality. All of them are drawn to her for different reasons, and she persuades them to abandon the cliched schoolies experience in favour of camping with her on a remote, uninhabited island. On that island, each of them will find answers to their questions. But what does Sierra want from them?
An empathetic and suspenseful coming-of-age story from the author of All That Impossible Space.
Praise for Before the Beginning:
'Soulful and suspenseful; this #LoveOzYA story doesn't take you where you think it will, it leads you where you need to be ... 'Before the Beginning' heralds Anna Morgan as the lovechild of Cath Crowley and Vikki Wakefield for her thoughtful and thrilling storytelling of the highest order.' - Danielle Binks, author of The Year the Maps Changed and Begin, End, Begin
'Genuine characters, a clever hint of danger and a deep understanding of graduating high school. I was hooked!' - Emily Gale, author of I Am Out With Lanterns and The Other Side of Summer

All That Impossible Space
Five minutes with … Anna Morgan
Anna was born in Sydney, but spent most of her childhood surrounded by mountains in Nepal and Tibet while her parents were part of an international community of health professionals. Navigating this cross-cultural life made her a curious observer of people, although most of her time was spent reading Enid Blyton and dreaming of going to boarding school. This did not cushion the shock of shifting from home-school in Tibet to an all-girls high school in Melbourne when her family returned to Australia. ALL THAT IMPOSSIBLE SPACE explores some of the intense and convoluted friendships that thrive in this setting. Anna completed a MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University in 2015, and now lives in Melbourne with her husband. She works as a bookseller.

Red Wings not likely to have decisions on Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom before June
Updated May 22, 2012 ; Posted May 22, 2012
By Ansar Khan | akhan1@mlive.com
AP PhotoRed Wings' captain Nicklas Lidstrom will weigh several factors before deciding whether to continue playing.
DETROIT -- No decisions on the Detroit Red Wings' unrestricted free agents are likely to be made prior to the organization's pro scouting meetings June 2-4, general manager Ken Holland said Monday.
Holland, back from the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland, said he hasn't spoken lately to Nicklas Lidstrom, who will decide next month whether to return or retire. The team needs to know before the entry draft on June 22-23.
"Whenever Nick is prepared to make a decision, I'm prepared to receive it,'' Holland said.
Whatever Lidstrom does, his close friend, Tomas Holmstrom, might follow suit.
"I told (Holmstrom) a couple of weeks ago we won't decide anything until after the pro scouting meetings,'' Holland said. "We want him to decide if he's healthy and if he has the passion and the energy to play another season.
"It's not strictly his call. We have to look at our team and decide what we're doing.''
Holland had a brief conversation with the agent for forward Jiri Hudler a couple of weeks ago and anticipates more dialogue in the upcoming weeks.
Holland also needs to know defenseman Brad Stuart's intentions by the draft.
Stuart, in all likelihood, will not return. He almost certainly will sign with a team closer to his home in San Jose. His family is not able to move due to a custody issue with his step-daughter.

Mount Sanford är en sköldvulkan i Wrangell Volcanic Field i östra Alaska nära Copper River (kopparfloden). Det är den tredje högsta vulkanen i USA efter Mount Bona och Mount Blackburn. Den södra sidan av vulkanen vid toppen av Sanford Glacier som reser sig 2400 meter på bara 1600 meter vilket gör den till ett av de brantaste lutningarna i Nordamerika.

Historia
Berget blev 1885 namngivet av Lt. Henry T. Allen i amerikanska armen efter Sanfordsläkten (Allen var en avkomling till Reuben Sanford).

Mount Sanford blev bestiget första gången den 21 juli 1938 av bergsbestigarna Terris Moore och Bradford Washburn via den nuvarande standard North Ramp route upp till Sheep Glacier. Denna rutten "erbjuder lite tekniska problem" och "är en glaciär som går hela vägen upp till toppen" men är fortfarande ett svårbestiget berg (Alaska Grade 2) som beror på bergets höjd och bergets topp.

Den 12 mars 1948, Northwest Airlines Flight 4422 havererade in i Mount Sanford. Alla 24 passagerarna och besättningsmedlemmar dog. Vraket täcktes snabbt av snö och upptäcktes inte före 1999.

Den första solobestigningen av Mount Sanford gjordes den 19 september 1968 av den japanska bergsbestigaren Naomi Uemura vilken senare dog just efter den första solobestigningen av Denali (då officiellt Mount McKinley).

This strange seaside tower got its name from a wealthy eccentric who would hide coins among its stones.
This enigmatic seaside tower on California's Victoria Beach looks like something out of a storybook, and given that it is lovingly known as the "Pirate Tower," it would seem to live up to the mystique. However, in reality, it was just a rich eccentric's private staircase.
The lonely spire that is built into the rocky beach cliff face actually belongs to the estate that sits at the top of the cliff. Built in 1926, the 60-foot tower reaches from the edge of the water up to the top of the cliff where the house sits, holding a private staircase inside for the owners to use to access the beach. Unfortunately, there seems to have a been a bit of a design flaw as the exit door and some of the towers become submerged and inaccessible during high tide, rendering the stairs unusable, while the tower remains as lovely as ever.
It seems to have been the second owner of the estate who earned the tower its swashbuckling nickname. As the story goes, he would dress up like a pirate and hide coins and candy in the nooks and crannies between the rocks of the tower, so that the local kids could go hunting for the buried treasure. It is also said that they would play games where the winner could earn a chance to grab "cold cash," a bowl full of coins he kept in the fridge.
The tower (and the mansion above) have changed hands a number of times over the years (at one point belonging to Bette Midler). Regardless of who owns the property, the tower remains, although now it is locked. However, adventurous souls can still find their way to the base of the tower at low tide, and dream of a swashbuckling history that never really was.
This beautiful ridge-top trail is dotted by tiny homes apparently built by a group of itinerant fairies.
