So you want to work Colombia? You have made the decision to add "Expatriate" to your resume of living experiences. Many people take this plunge. The term expatriate or in the abbreviated form, expat, is a person temporarily or permanently taking up residence in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing. The word is derived from the Latin terms ex ("out of") and patria ("country, fatherland").
Do you already have a Colombia job offer? Are you looking for Colombia jobs for the sake of change of pace & advenrure? Whatever motivates others in moving from their own country to a different locale & culture always facinates me. If you are an expat, I ask you to visit this page. I would be interested for you in contacting us using the contact form. I'll send you the questionaire and make you part of the learning experience. We would and our readers would enjoy to hear more of your story.
"What are some of the things that you should consider before moving to Colombia?" All good questions in need of trust worthy answers. I think equally important would be asking and finding the answers, "How do I go about making the move & transitioning myself back to my home country?" Maybe the second question you can answer after the journey has begun, but I personally would consider the process before leaving home.
Here's a list of some questions you'll need answers for prior to begining your adventure.
- What Visa(s) do I need? Where to apply? Length permitted to stay?
- Are taxes due to my country of citizenship, how much, how to report and when?
- How will I obtain regular & emergency medical-dental care?
- There is a GREAT GUIDE HERE helping you know facts so not to get taken advantage of by the "Gringo Tax."
I'll post links to sites that offer employment and to those that offer an Internship. You'll see at the bottom is an area for those that have legitimate job postings, to please post the relevant information.
Also if you have links to job postings, real life tips and advice from your own experience, please fill out the form below so it can be posted & shared with the many that research this topic. Thank you readers for being what really makes this magazine rewarding...you!


The Red HOT Hatters are going to the movies! We are in the midst of making arrangements to sponsor "You've Got Mail" to be shown on Saturday, Aug. 12th at Vevay's Historic Hoosier Theater at 7 p.m. Tickets are $3. Come and join in the fun!!
Patriot Baptist Church held its annual Patriot and Veteran Service Sunday and honored veterans in attendance: Wayne Turner, Rocky Hutchinson, John Adams, Michele Oatman, Chris Oatman, Ed Trinkle and his grandson Alan Trinkle. Their guest speaker was Vietnam Veteran Tony Flowers with special music by singer/songwriter Christian Yount. Emily Oatman also sang and performed two songs. The church was nearly filled and the service highly enjoyable. A pitch-in lunch at the Patriot Town Hall followed and the food was as good as the service!
Fellow Patriot Town Board member Waynie Turner, son Korey, his sister Amanda and her family and mother Kathy were also in attendance to honor his father Viet Nam Veteran Wayne Turner. Matt Lieland and son Canaan finished out one of the pews. My friend Carol Ann Armstrong invited me to sit with her as usual. Ed Trinkle and grandson Alan sat down in front of us. Patty Chase introduced me to Ed last year and he was kind enough to call me this past week with some very heartfelt comments about one of my recent articles. At the dinner afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting Ann McCarty who shared some of her trip to Norway with me. I had received a total of four invitations to the day's festivities (Sandy Dawson, Lois McKay, Mike Jones, Kathy and Wayne Turner) and am already looking forward to next year's Service.
Last Tuesday I attended my first Posey Tappers Homemaker's meeting this year at the Concord Church. Old friends and new faces alike made the morning very enjoyable. Just in time, I was able to prepare and enter four exhibits in the Photography class at the Switzerland County Fair. Really reminded me of my 4-H days as a child and I enjoyed the experience. Thursday when I took the exhibits in, I was greeted by Connie Hollander who did my registration. While visiting with her, my friends Bonnie Simon, Angie Haskell and Eric Simon stopped by. Joy Briggs was there when I picked up the exhibits on Saturday. (3 blue ribbons and 1 red!) Carla Burt gave me a quick tour of the Homemakers Exhibits which was very impressive.
The Red HOT Hatters enjoyed lunch at Roxano's last Wednesday. In attendance were: Lisa Fisher, Charlene Goff, Joyce Johnson, Sandy Dawson, Lois McKay, Jan Bixler, Patty Chase, Juanita Giltner, Deanna Graham, Eileen Wiesmann and I. Garage Sales are being postponed until the heat and humidity are not quite so brutal.
There is a correction on the date of our next Red HOT Hatters meeting which will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 14th at the Crossroads Restaurant in Versailles. All are welcome. Anyone needing a ride for the trip to Versailles, please call Kay Cook at 812-594-2281 by Sunday, August 13. We will be taking reservations and collecting money for our September excursion to Indianapolis to see the West Side Story.
This will be the second year for the Red HOT Hatters to attend the "Beef N Boards Dinner Theater" and this time to see the musical production of West Side Story on Wednesday, September 13 for the 1 p.m. Matinée. The play will cost a total of $34.00 each and includes the buffet before as well as the production. Taxes and gratuities included. This will be an all day affair as the doors open at 11a.m., the buffet runs from 11:30AM to 12:30PM with the production beginning at 1 p.m. There will be carpooling again this year and we will probably leave Vevay around 8:45 a.m.. Everyone is invited! This event is open to the public! Husbands, boyfriends, etc. included! Call Kay Cook at 812-594-2281 for any additional information.
Prayers for healing and speedy recoveries from surgery this week to Sharon Levell, Jan Bixler and Tony Christiani.
Thursday I made my monthly visit to Indianapolis to share old war stories with other retired police officers. I was able to stop by and see my friend Judy's brand new condo. My best guess would be two days MAX for my critters and I to completely destroy the whole thing with all of the crystal, antiques and eggshell white carpeting! I have been invited back – critter-less, needless to say!
The American Queen's trip through Patriot on Saturday night around 9:30 p.m. was met with as much enthusiasm as they all are! Busy giving puppy bathes, I almost missed it completely but I was able to summon one neighbor in time. Kathy and Wayne Turner also enjoyed the sighting from the shelter at the corner of 3rd and Front. Of course, I had to go and visit with them and eventually introduced my new neighbor Robin Lawson to the Nicest People in Patriot: Kathy and Wayne.
In the "Lessons Learned" category this week, I'm still on subject of my window air conditioning. Not too long ago, I recounted how I had learned to test the window air conditioner prior to spending 2 hours installing it in a window that is behind and above a waterbed. (Waterbeds do NOT move.) So with the temperature and the humidity rising, I decided it was time to reinvestigate the possibility of the air conditioner alleviating some of my misery. Forty-five minutes later, after fighting to unplug said air conditioner from the electrical outlet behind and below the massive king sized waterbed in my bedroom, I was able to supply electricity to the unit via an extension cord. Nothing. Nada. Just as I was about to lose any and all semblance to a Christian person, I grabbed ahold of the actual air conditioner plug and WHALLAH! Much to my surprise, I found a reset button! I bet you can guess what happened when I hit the button. Immediate reprieve from the heat! The air conditioner is working perfectly again! But only temporarily because I don't want to leave it on an extension cord and I'm not up to another forty five minute struggle.
In the "Critter Corner" this week, the Two Terrible Twin Tomcats are still the topic of discussion. No, putting bells on their collars do NOT keep them from catching birds. Very Special Agent Leroy Gibbs complete with brand new green collar and bell proved that to me last Tuesday. I have installed flexible screening on three of my doorways – two on the addition which includes my bedroom and one on the utility room just off the kitchen. With a total of four dogs and two cats, I find the screens in the summertime are a real blessing. All winter it seems I spend the majority of my time as doorman to six critters who never seem to operate on the same bathroom schedule.
Late last Tuesday while sitting at the kitchen table, however, I heard an awful scream/screech that raised the hairs on the back of my neck. As I proceeded to the back door of the utility room, I was met with VSA Gibbs who was struggling with a rather large and very unhappy bird and headed at warp 7 towards the house. I immediately slammed the door in his face to keep him from bringing his catch inside. Then, he turned and ran to the other end of the house and the other door with the screened entrance. I'm sure if anyone had been watching they would have found it quite comical to see me running, screaming, swinging a Swiffer and slamming doors to keep Mr. Gibbs and his unhappy prey out of my house. Of course, then he headed for the carport and hid under the SUV. Still swinging the Swiffer, I finally separated the two – cat from bird — and watched as the bird escaped into the tall ornamental grass. I finally snatched the confused kitty up and put him into the house. By now it is late and I've had enough.
The next morning I forbid the kitties to leave the house and once at my Red HOT Hatter luncheon, I described my predicament. Someone suggested I put Gibbs on a leash to see if he could find the injured bird. Well instead, I cut down weeds and grass in the area and after 30 minutes of working in the hot sun, decided that the bird had somehow escaped. Shortly after I allowed the cats out, Gibbs did go right back out to that part of the yard and did crawl in and about the area. Thank goodness, he didn't find anything either!

Just think back then, a computer the size of our apt would be overpowered by some peoples Cell phones !
With which games did you start your gaming career, when, what system?
My first *real* Video game was on the Nintendo Intertainment System (NES) aka Super Famcom. Not sure if it was Life Force or that Volly Ball game though.
This would've been like 1991 or 1990 but my first modern PC game was Medal of Honour Allied Assualt, think that was January 2002.
But we had a Tandy 1000 that was my brothers o I was playing games on it. My first computer games ^_^. Were some racing game, think it was fairly popular and well suited for 256colours.
Wibarn or some thing.. was like a import from Japen and you needed a piece of paper to tell which menu thingy was to start the game or some thing. Man I loved walking around in that transforming Robot/Car/Fighter jet in 2-D and 3-D Doom'esuqe movment hehe.
My first game was Wolfenstein 3D, shortly thereafter Dune 2.
Wow, amazing tech advancements since then.


It has been a few days since the New Orleans Saints became Super Bowl Champions. The confetti has come down. Drew Brees and Mickey Mouse have paraded through Disney World together. And the eyes of all NFL fans turn grudgingly yet optimistically to the NFL Draft in early April.
Before doing that, it's worth taking one last look at the biggest moment in this past season's Super Bowl. Any game can be defined by one play where the entire momentum and tone of the game shifts in favor of one side. It can be anything from a deflection off a defender's fingertips, to the aftermath of a bone-rattling hit, or even the effect of a drive-killing penalty.
Terry Porter's interception for a touchdown was undoubtedly the biggest play of the game. On top of producing the games only turnover, as well as leading to its eventual final score, Porter's pick-6 off of Peyton Manning unquestionably sealed the deal for the Saints, virtually guaranteeing them of victory.

I have been building a lightsaber with an econo board and a recharge port, all is working well except for the kill key.
For exemple When i plug a male plug in my recharge port the circuit is still flowing and i cant switch on/off my econoboard.
I dont think i made a mistake in the wiring, i have exactly follow the wiring diagram from the thread with all the wiring for the econo board.
Would somone have any idea?
There is one negetive that goes to the battery and one which goes to the board, maybe these are switched on yours. You could try switching these. The only other possibility I can think of is that the negetive leads have been connected somehow.
I don't see anything wrong there. What are you plugging into the recharge port? Is it one of the kill keys from TCSS, and are you inserting it all the way? I have heard of people using plugs from Radio Shack and finding that the plugs were just a hair too small to cut the power.


Does My Child Have Anxiety, ADHD or Both?
ADHD affects millions of children, who experience hyperactivity, impulsivity and difficulty concentrating. In some instances, however, stress and anxiety can cause symptoms that mimic ADHD, leading to an inaccurate diagnosis. If you think your child might have ADHD, anxiety or both, the following guide can help you get a more accurate evaluation.
A complex mental health disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that impacts millions of kids and often continues into adulthood. People with ADHD tend to exhibit impulsive behavior, hyperactivity and difficulty sustaining attention. They may also struggle with troubled relationships, low self-esteem and poor school performance. Experts aren't sure what causes ADHD; however, most believe it stems from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Although ADHD doesn't directly cause other psychological issues, kids with ADHD are more prone to having other conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, Tourette syndrome, oppositional defiant disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, learning disabilities and anxiety disorders. The latter issue is especially common in kids with ADHD. It also mimics many ADHD symptoms, which can sometimes lead to a misdiagnosis.
In most cases, a professional evaluation is needed to determine whether a child is suffering from ADHD, anxiety or both. At the same time, you can improve the chances of an accurate diagnosis by paying close attention to your child's behavior before visiting your doctor.
When children only appear to suffer from anxiety and concentration problems in situations that make them feel nervous, this is usually not a sign of ADHD. If, on the other hand, the child finds it hard to concentrate most of the time, he or she may have ADHD.
Since treatments for each condition vary, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis. You can help with this by keeping a detailed record of your child's behaviors and emotional states in relation to specific environments and situations.
Foundations Counseling provides cognitive behavioral therapy to help children overcome difficulties related to ADHD. We also offer anxiety therapy and counseling that help children and adults learn to handle stress and anxiety in a healthy manner. Contact us today!

This semester, the University of Houston-Downtown launched its Center for Latino Studies. In just a few months, this new Center—led by Dr. Bonnie A. Lucero—has already made an impression on students through a range of events and programs aimed at highlighting the diversity of Latino experiences and cultures.
The Center is based in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences. According to Lucero, it will focus on developing socially-empowering curriculum for the existing Latino Studies concentration (part of the Bachelor of Arts in Humanities program) and building a Latino Studies minor.
It also will enrich the curriculum in other ways with events addressing topics relevant to Latino populations in Houston and beyond. The Center is also developing innovative student support programs, like Latinas Achieve, a mentorship initiative connecting current UHD Latina students with faculty, alumni, professionals, and community leaders to promote their academic and professional success. That program will launch in spring 2019. Likewise, it will support research and creative activities on campus, through programs such as a writing support groups for faculty, and a reading collaborative on Latino Studies.
Among the courses in development is "Introduction to Latino Studies," which will offer an interdisciplinary survey of the origins, cultures and conditions of Latino populations in the United States. Another course on the horizon is "Black and Brown Feminisms," which addresses the historical experiences of African Americans, Latinas and other women of color as they navigated the intersections of race and gender.
The Center has worked with faculty to coordinate and centralize the course offerings in Latino Studies. Students can now access a full list of courses related to Latinos on the Center's new campaign, "Courses with Latinos in Mind" flyers posted around campus and available on the Center for Latino Studies website and Facebook page.
These courses, Lucero said, will broaden students' understanding of Latino Studies topics and have the potential to bolster their academic performance at UHD.
The Center's next event is slated for noon on Friday, Nov. 7 (Academic Building, Room A300 White Oak Room) with Dr. Juan Coronado's lecture "Latino Manhood & The Military" (in recognition of Veteran's Day). The lecture is based on the book written by Coronado, a scholar at Michigan State University's Julian Samora Research Institute.
Lucero is enthusiastic about her new role at UHD and confident that her academic and administrative experience will help the Center for Latino Studies continue to grow.

Christ's Behavior (Matth. 4, 12-17)
Sunday after Epiphany
The scene of the Apostles Peter and Paul embracing
Efthymios N. Tsigaridas
There are in the Monastery three fragments of wall-paintings, whose origin is unknown. Two of these are from decoration of the Late Comnenan period, while the third belongs to decoration of the Early Palaeologan period.
On the two earlier fragments, measuring 50 x 65 and 65 x 65 cm., the Apostles Peter and Paul are shown embracing, and St Mark is depicted.
The scene of the Apostles Peter and Paul embracing, as an autonomous subject which expresses ecumenical peace and the unity of the local Orthodox churches, was adopted early in Byzantine art, following models known from Early Christian art.
From an artistic point of view, these wall-painting fragments in the Vatopaidi Monastery are marked by the breaking up of the mass of the face into individual units, which contrasts with the character of the painting of the wall-paintings in St George at Djurdevi Stupovi (c. 1175) in Serbia, with which Prof. Radojicic would link them. Thus the feeling of sculpture, particularly marked in the Vatopaidi wall-paintings, sets them apart from the wall-paintings in the Church of St George at Djurdevi Stupovi and links them in artistic terms with the wall-paintings in the katholikon of the historic Monastery of Christ the Saviour 'tou Latomou' (Hosios David) in Thessaloniki (1160-1170) and those in the Chapel of Our Lady and of the first phase of the decoration of the refectory of the Monastery of Patmos (1176-1180). Consequently, the view expressed by Radojicic6, to the effect that the wall-painting of the embrace of the Apostles Peter and Paul is the work of painters from the Greek workshop which decorated – at the expense of the Kral of the Serbs Stephen Nemanja and of St Sabbas – the Church of St George at Djurdjevi Stupovi, is, in our opinion, based on artistic criteria, incorrect.
The absence of a connection with the work of the artist who was responsible for the wall-paintings of Djurdjevi Stupovi means that the Vatopaidi wall-paintings cannot be included among the activities of the Kral of the Serbs Stephen Nemanja and St Sabbas, as Radojicic would have them. Thus the view that these wall-paintings come from the refectory of the Vatopaidi Monastery – the decoration of which, according to Serbian sources which Radojicic invokes, was undertaken at the expense of Stephen Nemanja and of St Sabbas – and their dating to 1197-98, must be pronounced incorrect. The manifest artistic affinity of the Vatopaidi wall-paintings with the wall-paintings of the Latomou Monastery (Hosios David) in Thessaloniki and in the Patmos Monastery leads to their dating to around 1170-1180.
On the third fragment, measuring 99 x 60 cm., the Blessed Virgin is depicted to the waist, enthroned and holding the Holy Child in the type of the Glykophilousa, flanked by the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
In spite of the fact that the original painting is preserved only in the case of the faces of the figures depicted and of the garment of the Virgin, the high quality of the work is obvious.
From an artistic viewpoint, the oblique positioning of the enthroned Virgin and the noble stances of the archangels, with their broad, well-fleshed bodies, rendered not statically, but with counterbalancing movement, demonstrate the wish of the artist to integrate the figures into the space.
This wall-painting has been dated to c. 1260. However, a comparison with works of this period, such as the wall-paintings of Sopocani and of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity in the Chilandari Monastery, shows that it differs from them. The 'soft' character of the painting in the case of the wall-paintings of Sopocani and of the Chilandari chapel is replaced in the Vatopaidi wall-painting by a stringent shaping, sculptural in character, reminiscent of the painting in the Church of the Protaton in Karyes on Mount Athos (c. 1290).
Furthermore, the breadth and the mass in the rendering of the bodies of the figures, the artistic types, the facial features and the technique used in the rendering of the face point to the painting of the Protaton. More specifically, the olive green shadows, the warm ochre of the expanses of flesh, the linear white highlights above the eyebrows, the red parallel lines on the bridge of the nose, the schematisation of the sternum at the base of the neck, the fleshy, half-open lips, and the reflective gaze are typical features of the painting of the artist of the Protaton, Panselinos, and his workshop.
It is, then, our view that in this wall-painting in the Vatopaidi Monastery we can not only recognise the manner of the painting of Panselinos, but also the incomparable spritual ethos of his works. For this reason, a dating of the wall-painting to the late 13th century or around 1300 is very likely.

OCN has partnered with Pemptousia. A Contemporary post-modern man does not understand what man is. Through its presence in the internet world, Pemptousia, with its spirit of respect for beauty that characterizes it, wishes to contribute to the presentation of a better meaning of life for man, to the search for the ontological dimension of man, and to the awareness of the unfathomable mystery of man who is always in Christ in the process of becoming, of man who is in the image of divine beauty. And the beauty of man springs from the beauty of the Triune God. In the end, "beauty will save the world".
Apostles20 Saint Peter6 St. Paul30
How are we to be understood and recognized as the 'Image of God'?
The Twelve Apostles: Timid Men who Won the World
Pemptousia and OCN have entered a strategic partnership to bring Orthodoxy Worldwide. Greek philosophers from Ionia considered held that there were four elements or essences (ousies) in nature: earth, water, fire and air. Aristotle added ether to this foursome, which would make it the fifth (pempto) essence, pemptousia, or quintessence. The incarnation of God the Word found fertile ground in man's proclivity to beauty, to goodness, to truth and to the eternal. Orthodoxy has not functioned as some religion or sect. It was not the movement of the human spirit towards God but the revelation of the true God, Jesus Christ, to man. A basic precept of Orthodoxy is that of the person – the personhood of God and of man. Orthodoxy is not a religious philosophy or way of thinking but revelation and life standing on the foundations of divine experience; it is the transcendence of the created and the intimacy of the Uncreated. Orthodox theology is drawn to genuine beauty; it is the theology of the One "fairer than the sons of men". So in "Pemptousia", we just want to declare this "fifth essence", the divine beaut in our life. Please note, not all Pemptousia articles have bylines. If the author is known, he or she is listed in the article above.

"You can't get complacent and think, 'I'm better now.'" Simon Pegg on depression, alcohol, Mission: Impossible and becoming an adult
SIMON Pegg's 40th birthday back in 2010 was, the actor recalls, quite a memorable one. He was serenaded while waiting to be hanged. Pegg was filming Burke and Hare in Scotland with the director John Landis at the time.
"I was stood on a gallows with a noose around my neck and John had 300 Scottish 'peasants' sing Happy Birthday to me. Which was the most surreal experience."
At the time, Pegg was on the up professionally. He had spent the previous 10 years parlaying the success of his Channel 4 sitcom Spaced which he created with Jessica Hynes and his love of what would become known as geek culture, into, first, a movie career via Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and then a Hollywood movie career playing Scotty in the 2009 big screen reboot of Star Trek.

The stars of Spaced reunited: 'Our show doesn't feel dated like Friends'
Two decades on from the cult comedy, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright and Jessica Hynes reminisce about the making of a game-changing classic
I am not in 23 Meteor Street, circa 1999. In fact, I'm in the BFI office in central London at the fag end of 2019. But by God, it's easy to forget that, sitting opposite Nick Frost, Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg, as they talk about their seminal sitcom Spaced, and each so jarringly reminiscent of their characters it verges on unnerving. Set on the fictional street in north London, Spaced told the deceptively simple story of two flatmates: aspiring-if-she-could-just-be-arsed writer Daisy Steiner and thwarted comic-book artist Tim Bisley. Accompanying them on their deeply prosaic adventures (a paintball tournament one week, a club night the next), which somehow achieved the heights of mythic glory, were their downstairs neighbour, tortured artist Brian (Mark Heap), his girlfriend Twist (Katy Carmichael), who worked "in fashion", by which she meant a dry cleaners, Tim's childhood friend Mike (Frost) and their landlady Marsha (Julia Deakin).

Simon Pegg delivers strong dramatic turn in 2019 Whistler Film Festival opener
Simon Pegg was meant to star in the new indie film Lost Transmissions.
"It was a perfect storm of reasons," said Pegg over the phone from London recently.
"I get scripts from my agents that say 'you may or may not like this.' But this one said 'read this'."
Then, something else caught the English actor/writer's eye.
"I noticed it was directed by Katharine (Katharine O'Brien who also wrote the screenplay). I hadn't, until that point, been directed in a feature film by a woman, which felt remiss to me and indicative of the way the film industry is. So I was very happy when I read it and really responded to it," said Pegg. "I thought it was a really moving and interesting story."
The moviemaking experience worked out well, and Pegg felt right at home working on O'Brien's production.
"I live in a matriarchy. Everyone in my house is female, even the animals," said Pegg, whose long list of film credits includes comedy Shaun of the Dead and a handful of titles in the Mission Impossible and Star Wars franchises.
The Lost Transmissions story revolves around Theo (Pegg) and Hannah (Juno Temple) as Hannah tries to help the schizophrenic Theo during a psychotic break.
Off his meds, the manic Theo races through an uneasy and sepia-toned Los Angeles with Hannah and other friends hot on his heels trying to get him to help.

County Agent Rob Ferguson sent me this announcement yesterday. Hope to see many of you at the meeting.
For more information, please contact Rob Ferguson.
Today I scouted some rice with County Agents Rob Ferguson and Trent in Avoyelles Parish. We visited the Big Horn Farm Partnership which is farmed by two brothers Chris and Randy Dauzat. They have a beautiful operation. I saw a few interesting things that I thought you might like to see.
We scouted a field that had a pretty heavy infestation of grasshoppers earlier this season. Rusty Elston reported catching more than 25 grasshoppers per 10 sweeps. This is the damage that was being attributed to the grasshoppers. Let me know if you saw any injury like this that you think was caused by grasshoppers in your rice.
Empty hulls that may have been caused by grasshopper feeding on the developing grain.
A spray was applied to control the grasshoppers and we could not find any in the field. The application was made about 10 days ago. The rice is starting to mature and the panicles are turning down. Some of the grains are still in the milk stage. We did stumble upon a batch of rice stink bug eggs that were just hatching.
Rice stink bug egg mass just hatching. Notice the egg shells that are like little capsules - these little first instar nymphs are in the process of hatching out through the top hatch.
They are about to drain the rice field in preparation for harvest.
We also observed an abundance of different birds. This farm has been part of conservation programs for 35 years and you could see the positive environmental impact of these efforts.
Wood duck box in an area set aside for conservation programs.
Large flocks of birds including great white egrets, great blue herons, roseate spoonbills and a number of species of ibis were enjoying the habitat.
These conservation areas will serve as an important alternative habitat for birds that typically rely on the coastal marshes. NRCS conservation programs have been implimented this year in response to the potential long-term impact of the oil spill in the gulf. Rice farmers are in a perfect position to provide the habitat desperately needed by a variety of birds and other wildlife.
Finally, we saw crews out roguing red rice from water-seeded fields. These are planted in conventional varieties. It's important to remove the red rice before it has a chance to go to seed. The red rice is removed by hand to keep the field clean and prevent adding to the seedbank next season.
Clumps of red rice in a field that will be rogued soon.
Crew roguing red rice - this is a tough job, but necessary to control this weed!
Tracks in the field left by the rogue crew.
Sacks of red rice rogued by the crew. These sacks are collected and the red rice is burned.
Hope you have a good weekend. Next week we'll start harvesting the demonstration test sites, unless we are delayed by Tropical Storm Bonnie.

Lane Stadium Tickets
One of the toughest stadiums to play in college football, Lane Stadium, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in scenic Blacksburg, Virginia, has been through a lot of renovations and expansions over the years. The end result is a spacious, modern football stadium that has everything an enthusiastic collegiate football fan might enjoy. The playing surface was named Worsham Field in 1991 after a longtime supporter named Wes Worsham. At Lane Stadium, you can enjoy the entire season of Virginia Tech Hokie football in great comfort with enormous, state-of-the-art Jumbotrons to improve your view, any kind of concession you could want at a collegiate game and with the fine entertainment of university's two talented bands: the Highty-Tighties of the university's Corps of Cadets and the Marching Virginians, the university's general marching band. The best tickets to Lane Stadium games are available at StubHub.
What is Lane Stadium seating capacity?
The stadium can seat up to 65,632 and offers a variety of standard, handicapped-accessible and luxury seats to accommodate all guests that come to enjoy Hokie football.
Is parking available at Lane Stadium?
Yes, there are many places to park on campus for a fee, and some are close to the stadium. Extended parking is also available on Prices Fork Road at P2. Accessibility parking is also available in designated lots. The venue recommends making arrangements for such parking in advance as spaces are limited. There is a handicapped-accessible shuttle to take guests from this lot to the stadium. These courtesy shuttles are stationed inside the stadium at the gates if needed before, during and after the games.
Is the Lane Stadium accessible by public transportation?
Yes, the Blacksburg Transit, known as BT, is a great way to get to Lane Stadium for Hokie game days. For a reasonable fare, you can be dropped off up to three hours before kickoff and all the way to the start of halftime.
What food and drink items can I find at Lane Stadium?
Concession stands, located under all permanent stands in the stadium, are easily reached no matter which exit portal you use. You can get alcoholic beverages, water, soda and coffee. There are many food items available for the game, including the big turkey legs that are a crowd favorite.
Is the venue a wheelchair-friendly facility?
Yes, Lane Stadium is ADA-compliant and provides services for those with disabilities. For accessibility entrances, head for Gates 1 and 5. Guests who need assistance for any game should contact the Athletics Ticket Office at the venue to make arrangements in advance. The restrooms are accessibility-compliant with Family/Special Needs restrooms located behind Section 1 at the East Stands and also behind Sections 205 and 209 at the South End Zone. There are more behind Sections 2 and 16 at the West Stands.Back to Top


With the DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY receiving rave reviews Sushant Singh is quite elated and plans to explore new vistas in acting.
After the success of PK and DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY, Sushant Singh is gearing up for MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI biopic and is looking forward to work with Indian Cinema's ace director Shekhar Kapur for his much delayed project PAANI.
" Shekharji is an man of few words. In his company I have talked about everything in the world - filmmaking, acting, quantum physics, spirituality… He is not opinionated, but gives you facts. All these conversations have helped me understand these things a little bit more," he informed.
Unlike other stars of the day who are interested in minting money, irrespective of what kind of movie they are doing, Shushant has set his goal on doing good cinema.
He considers for an actor to have a peace of mind is by exploring new themes and having the courage to do films that can actually changing cinema.
Sounds great! Looks like Shushant Singh is walking on the lines of great acting giants like Dilip Kumar, Balraj Sahani, Kamal Hassan, Naseeruddin Shah and Aamir Khan!

But the standup comic from St. Louis says he is finding more fashionable threads for bigger guys online, as a crop of internet retailers are finally catering to the long-ignored group. The companies are making larger sizes of slim-cut jeans, bomber jackets and other trendy clothes that shoppers say are hard to find elsewhere.
Bigger-sized models are used when designing the clothes, which the companies say helps make sure the proportions are right. Rather than just making a pair of jeans larger, for example, they also adjust the back pockets and other details.
Asos, the hip online clothing seller, launched a line for plus-sized men late last year. MVP Collections, founded a year ago, sells velour hoodies in sizes up to 6XL and motorcycle jeans that go up to a size 54. And The Winston Box, which calls itself a clothing subscription service "for guys with some junk in the trunk," sends up to four items a month to members.
"There's a lot more options," says Cyr. He pays $75 a month for The Winston Box, and says the 3XL shirts he receives fit better than what he finds elsewhere. He also recently bought a blazer from Asos that he wears to his standup shows.
Men have long had big-and-tall shops to turn to, but young shoppers say they don't find the trendy clothes they crave there. Kyle Gammon, a college fashion student who lives near Savannah, Georgia, says Asos has become his go-to after he discovered its plus-size line earlier this year. While fit can sometimes be a question for anyone buying online, Gammon has bought a couple of print shirts from the site. He likes the way they fit, giving him just enough room around his midsection without a lot of extra fabric in the arms. He's also a fan of the colors and styles the site offers.
Former baseball player Mo Vaughn, who co-founded MVP Collections, says he could find T-shirts and suits in his size in stores, but nothing in between. Now his company sells items such as gray sport jackets and deconstructed jeans made with a bit of spandex for stretch.
"Why can't we be fly like everybody else?" Vaughn says.
Daniel Franzese, an actor who starred in "Mean Girls," joined The Winston Box as creative director earlier this year after seeing an ad for the company on Facebook. He says stylists often had trouble finding clothes for him to wear for TV roles or for red carpet events.
"Fashion forgets about the bigger male," Franzese says.
That's still generally true, even with the new options. Several market research firms said they didn't track or have estimates of the value of the men's big-and-tall clothing market. And startups say that to promote their brands, they go to conventions and events around the country aimed at curvy or plus-size women — because there aren't any for big men.
Diana Smith, a retail and apparel analyst at research group Mintel, expects that to change. She says the high obesity rate, plus an increase in the number of men who care about how they dress, will increase the demand for big-sized men's clothing. She says the success of women's plus-size clothing, which according to NPD Group had sales of $20.6 billion in the last year, also helps.
"There's a lot of buying power there," says Smith.
At Asos, it was the positive feedback from its women's plus-size line launched about eight years ago that pushed the company to create one for men, says head designer Nick Eley. Asos says about 15 percent of its men's line is now available in bigger sizes, and it expects to increase that percentage. About 30 brands, such as Puma and Tommy Hilfiger, also make big and tall sizes for the site.
"I honestly don't know why it's been a forgotten market for so long," says Eley.
Associated Press video journalist Teresa Crawford in Chicago contributed to this report.


Soon you will see the Ring doorbell and other outdoor security products integrated with more services after the company hired what is essentially the entire staff of Zonoff.
Ring, the maker of a video doorbell, has scooped up almost the entire staff of Zonoff, a smart home integration provider. Ring extended offers to all of the Zonoff employees at the beginning of this month after acquisition talks with Honeywell fell through.
Ring in January raised $109 million in a Series D round of funding.
With the almost-80-person team from Zonoff signing on, Siminoff says they can now handle those integrations. He expects the former Zonoff employees will handle other product tasks as well. Ring employs about 1,000 people, and suddenly bringing on almost 80 will take some effort.
But it wasn't something he could say no to. He says that he had looked at Zonoff as a potential acquisition, but when he saw which other companies were interested, he knew that it wasn't going to make sense to bid against deeper pockets. Zonoff had been seeking a buyer for the last nine months according to sources who have looked at the company or who were approached with the deal. One source told me the price was around $40 million.
When the planned acquisition by Honeywell fell through, Siminoff was happy to try to salvage something. He said Zonoff's then-CEO Mike Harris called him and the next night Siminoff took a red-eye flight to Philadelphia to start making offers.
"We got a call that everyone was let go and 12 hours later we started the paperwork," Siminoff says.
Everyone who worked at Zonoff was offered a job on March 2 and almost all of them have accepted. So while this team is still looking for office space and needs computers and all of the other essentials of a brand new Philadelphia-area office for Ring, these people do have a seamless transition from one job to another.
When asked about Zonoff, Mike Harris, the former CEO, declined to comment, but he did confirm that he now is part of a new division of Ring that will be based outside of Philadelphia. Emails to Zonoff's investors were not returned.
However, sources close to and at Zonoff told me Zonoff had been struggling with one of its largest strategic investors, ADT, after it went private in 2016. ADT's buyer, Apollo Global Management, was more focused on the security side of the business rather than the smart home. Many of the likely acquirers would end up competing with ADT.ADT and Honeywell did not respond to requests for comment.
However, there is interest in the type of work that Zonoff does. Home automation is becoming a must-have for internet service providers, security companies, retailers and even insurance firms.
For example, iControl, a company that provided a home automation platform for cable companies, recently sold. Comcast bought a portion of the business for its own security and home automation service, Xfinity Home, and also to provide similar services to other cable companies.
Alarm.com purchased the other chunk of iControl's business so it can add home automation to its security offerings. Even earlier, Samsung bought SmartThings while Flex bought the Wink hub and software out of bankruptcy. Like these providers, Zonoff had the experience making disparate products work together. Unlike some of them, it did so in a way that normal users could understand from the very beginning.
Now that Ring has that team, I expect a lot from its plans to integrate with other devices in the home and perhaps expect it to go even further.
My first question is, "how does this impact the Connect hub?" Z-Wave Products took on the hardware from Staples last year, but Zonoff maintains (or at least has been maintaining) the services. Will it be dying a little sooner than we all thought? And what of Somfy's TaHoma system, also powered by Zonoff?
Go with Nexia. They integrate with a ton of stuff and it works like magic.

SAN ANDREAS - Calaveras County Board of Supervisors meetings, which already sometimes last eight hours or more, will soon get even longer.
Some folks see that as a triumph of democracy.
Others see it as a waste of time and money.
The change is coming thanks to a resolution the board passed by a 4-1 vote May 14. The resolution set a new procedure for public comment on agenda items, adding a surrebuttal, or an additional public comment period, after everyone else has had their say on an agenda item.
Board Chairwoman Merita Callaway cast the lone vote opposing the measure.
"Part of a business meeting is to keep a business meeting moving," she said. "People become repetitious."
Callaway has served 20 years on the board. The other supervisors are all in their first terms and were elected during a period of populist sentiment and mistrust of government.
"The public will have the last word, sooner or later," said Peter Racz, a tea party activist who for several years has regularly attended supervisors meetings.
Callaway noted that during hearings on controversial matters, such as the county General Plan or the former Trinitas golf course, meetings already sometimes last an entire day and are moved to the San Andreas Town Hall because of the number of people who show up.
Previously, a hearing on something such as a development proposal would have opened with a staff report, then moved to questions by board members and a presentation by the proponent before going to public comments.
Then, once the public comment portion of the meeting closed, staff would respond to questions raised and the proponent, often a developer, would have a chance to rebut any criticisms leveled at the project before the board would begin its deliberations.
The new policy in effect re-opens the public comment period for a surrebuttal that will come after the proponent's rebuttal but before the board makes its decision.
"I think it is a better form of representative democracy," said Chris Wright, who is in his first term on the board.
Wright is the former executive director of Foothill Conservancy.
Environmentalists formed an alliance with right-wing groups such as the tea party to push for additional public comment opportunities on controversial topics.
They argued that since a developer proposing a project gets to speak twice, so should members of the public.
"Procedural due process calls for fairness," said Tom Infusino of the Calaveras Planning Coalition, which includes a variety of conservation and environmental organizations.
Board meetings already have gotten longer in recent years in part because the board holds fewer of them and must conduct more business in each one.
The number of meetings was reduced to two per month in 2011 as a budget-cutting measure. Previously, the board met four times a month.
The resolution took effect immediately and will be in effect for a full meeting for the first time today.


Janice Horton - author of romantic adventure novels: NEWS: Castaway in the Caribbean available for pre-order!
NEWS: Castaway in the Caribbean available for pre-order!
I'm really excited to announce that my new novel is now up on Amazon for Pre-Order!
I eventually settled down to write this romantic adventure story on the Caribbean island of Utila, the smaller of the Bay Islands, just off the coast of Honduras. Likened to the Key West of long ago, Utila is a quaint, unspoilt and laid-back little island. Sitting on the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, it is also a paradise for scuba diving, which is exactly what my husband was doing every day while I was busy writing this story.
No Kindle? No problem. Amazon provides a free to download Kindle App for all devices.
Pre-order today at the special price of just 99p or $1.48 and read on launch day when the ebook of Castaway in the Caribbean will automatically download to your device.
Your book sounds great, Janice, and I'll look forward to reading it as I've been to Tortola!
Thanks Rosemary - I'm feeling pretty excited about this book!

A stimulating series of public events focussing on human rights issues is attracting new audiences to Wadham College.
Sharing candid insights into crucial human rights issues including life on death row, press freedom and phone hacking, renowned speakers from the media, law and academia have been welcomed by the College to 'The Human Rights Forum'.
The Forum is an initiative of Wadham's Warden, Ken Macdonald QC. "I want to bring people into the College as a centre of intellectual endeavour – a place to which speakers will come to share their insights and expertise," he said. The forum builds on the depth of expertise amongst Wadham Law Fellows and their peers.
Lord Macdonald plans that the College will host a minimum of two events per term with films, academic talks and political presentations all aimed at encouraging new people to engage with the life of Wadham College, both as participants and audience members.
Terrorism and Human Rights - Lessons from Syria and the Sahel.
Ben Emmerson QC, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Terrorism and Human Rights spoke about the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism. A specialist in European human rights law, public international law and international criminal law, Emmerson has 25 years' experience litigating before international courts and tribunals including the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Specialising in media and information law including defamation, confidence, privacy and data protection, he played a central role in the campaign for the full disclosure of UK MPs' parliamentary expenses and in the News of the World phone-hacking revelations. He is known for his privacy work for celebrities who include Lily Allen, David and Victoria Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Ryan Giggs, former banker Fred Goodwin and Prince Charles.
Screening of this award winning film documentary, shot inside Death Row in Mississippi in 1987, following the last 14 days in the life of Edward Johnson, who was held there for eight years. It concludes with a final interview 20 minutes before his execution in the gas chamber for a murder he was later proved not to have committed. Clive Stafford Smith, the Founder of 'Reprieve', and Edward Johnson's lawyer and Paul Hamann, former Head of Documentaries at the BBC, discussed the film.
James Harding, the former Editor of The Times, and Anne Spackman, its former Comment Editor, discussed editing newspapers during turbulent times including the aftermath of the Leveson inquiry, the introduction of paywalls and journalistic integrity and political freedom. James Harding was appointed Editor of The Times in 2007, the youngest person to have taken up that role. He is to become Director of News at the BBC. Anne Spackman was appointed Comment Editor of The Times in 2008.

Liberty and Security - for all or just for the affluent?
Conor Gearty, Professor of Human Rights Law at LSE discussed ideas from his latest book Liberty and Security. He believes that the proclamation of universal liberty and security is mocked by facts on the ground: the vast inequalities in supposedly free societies, the authoritarian regimes with regular elections, and the terrible socio-economic deprivation camouflaged by cynically proclaimed commitments to human rights.

Q: Hide char array from reverse engineer Looking for the easiest way to hide char* from reverse engineer. Doesn't have to be strong encryption, but something simple. It has to happen in header, and here is my code:
#pragma once
const char * pw = "test";
#define PASS pw;

where PASS is used in the source.
I already tried reverse string and hex to text and vice versa but didn't succeed. Someone please post some easy solution for this.
Edit: This is just an example. The user will not input anything, I only have to hide a char pointer from debugger. What is the best way to do that?

A: The standard way would be to store only the hash of your string (computed offline and outside the code) in the code and to hash any user input with which you want to compare it during runtime and then compare the hashes instead of the plain passwords

A: You could store the XOR value of the password, and then XOR the user input to compare. Refer to this answer for the code.
Then the problem becomes someone can run a debugger or dis-assembler to reveal what your program is doing when it checks the password.

Q: Slick Slider no link and lightbox on mobile screen I have a Slick Slider working (within TYPO3 CMS MASK) which is working great on large screen. But on mobile the applied link or light-box, swipe is not working? Could the surrounding <div class="test_"> causing this behaviour? Other images not in the slider, with lightbox are working fine.
This is the slick js applied. The lightbox = fancy-box.
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.sh_product_slider2').slick({

   });
});

This is the generated html:

Made a codepen to see what's wrong but same behaviour as on the site applied.  Any thoughts on this?
Codepen:
https://codepen.io/mr_vespa/pen/qBNgzWm

A: Found the solution: removing  z-index: 2; from
@media (max-width: 600px) {
.sh_product_slider2 {
    position: relative;
    /*z-index: 2; */
    padding: 0 0px;
    margin: auto;
    margin-bottom: 5rem;
    max-width: 1155px;
    width: 100%;
}

made it work.

ShoeGuy: And the Winner Is...
ShoeGuy's First (and Last?) Shoe Name Awards
By J. D. Denton
Every time time a dumb new name for a running shoe hits the market, I begin to think that the shoe industry is running out of ideas. So I thought it might be fun to stimulate a little creative thinking for the marketing types who come up with those names by recognizing their jobs well done.
Here now are ShoeGuy's first-and-probably-last Awards for Great Running Shoe Names:
The Comeback Award goes to the Nike Pegasus. It was one of the most enduring names in the business for over a decade when it suddenly just went away a few years ago, but then successfully reemerged in 2000. How appropriate to name a running shoe after a horse with wings, suggesting power, speed, strength, and of course, a bit of fantasy. May the Pegasus name stick around for good this time.
The Best Shoe Name Inspired by a Movie goes to the Brooks Chariot. The movie was, of course, Chariots of Fire, one of the all-time great running films. It's probably still available on DVD, but the Chariot as a shoe name is retired. Maybe Brooks will wise up some day, and if we ever do these awards again, the Chariot will win the Comeback Award.
ASICS wins the Best Theme Award with their cushioned "cloud" shoes, the Cumulus and the Nimbus. Apparently they've run out of English cloud names, however. Their new cushioned shoe for spring 2003 is called the Kumo, which, it turns out, is the Japanese word for cloud. I vote for Wingu, the Swahili word for cloud, as the next in line.
Most Overused Name Award goes to adidas for the Supernova. First there was just the regular old Supernova, which was such a success it's still around, only now known as the Supernova Classic. The Classic tag was necessary because now there's also the Supernova Control, the Supernova Cushion, and the Supernova Trail. While all of these Supernovas are indeed superb running shoes, a nova is actually a star and not, as one might guess, the German word for confusion.
Best Evolution of Names Award goes to ASICS with the "GT." I don't really know what it means, but my guess would be "Great Trainers." While it probably started as simply the "T" in the old Ultra-T many years ago, GT first showed up as the X-Caliber GT in the early 80's, followed by the GT-II in 1985 (the first Gel shoe, if you like a bit of trivia), and then later the GT-III and others. In the 90's the GT evolved into a series, currently the GT-2080. Like I said, "great trainers."
Best Pun in a Name goes to the Mizuno racing flat called the Wave Goodbye. While many shoe brands use their midsole technology as a prefix in their shoe names (Nike Air, ASICS Gel, Saucony GRID, and so on), none has blended it with such appropriate whimsy as Mizuno with the Wave Goodbye. Of course, the Goodbye has gone bye-bye, replaced by a flat called the Wave Spacer. No awards for that name.
The Most Awkward Pun in a Name Award goes to Avia for the ECS-Teem and ECS-Cape, as in esteem and escape, I think. As mentioned above, we understand why most companies like to use their midsole technology in their shoe names, but let's hope Avia gets away from trying to find words that can tack on to "ECS" in such a cute, though clumsy, fashion.
While we're at it, let's give Avia a Keep It Simple Award for using "ECS" instead of the technology's official name, which is "Ecto-Cantilever System." No argument on that one.
Best Shoe Named by The Numbers goes to New Balance for their entire line. Yeah, I know, this one's a reach. Actually, it wasn't even on the program but there really wasn't any other way to get these guys a mention, and ShoeGuy likes the folks at New Balance, in spite of their boring shoe names, uh, numbers.
Best Shoe Name Inspired by a Bridge goes to Saucony for the Trigon. Actually, to the best of my knowledge, it's the only shoe named after a bridge, making it a (forgive me) shoe-in for this award.
Most Appropriate Name Award goes to the Brooks Beast. This legendary hunk of bulk has for years set the industry standard in controlling even the most monstrous of over-pronators. Also appropriate is that it's a men's-only shoe, the women's version is more tastefully named the Ariel.
Originally, however, it was the women's Beast. For years, Brooks struggled with finding a more gender-appropriate name. My suggestion, the Beauty (as in "Beauty and the…) was considered too flaky. My other suggestion, the Bitch, was also rejected for some reason (I still have the scar from my wife's elbow). They finally hit on Ariel, which may have been inspired by the Shakespeare character who was a mischievous spirit, but was more likely named after a mermaid in a Disney movie.
And finally, the Appropriate Tribute Award is a dead heat between Reebok and Nike. Reebok wins for naming their best competition shoes after their founder, one J.W. Foster of England, and Nike for designating their best training shoes as Bowerman models, named for company co-founder Bill Bowerman. It's because of guys like Foster and Bowerman that ShoeGuy gets to hand out silly awards for shoe names.
And, as the folks from Brooks will confirm, I'm much better at that than at actually naming the shoes.
