Abstract: A new formalism is introduced to treat problems in quantum field theory, using coherent functional expansions rather than path integrals. The basic results and identities of this approach are developed. In the case of a Bose gas with point-contact interactions, this leads to a soluble functional equation in the weak interaction limit, where the perturbing term is part of the kinetic energy. This approach has the potential to prevent the Dyson problem of divergence in perturbation theory.


Once a wild whaling outpost, diminutive LEVUKA is now a charming seaside town on the island of Ovalau. Its laid-back atmosphere is epitomized by its weathered yet colourful clapboard buildings, most of which now function as Chinese or Indian-run stores, so packed full of goods and groceries it's difficult to poke around without bumping into someone. Outside, the pillared pavement is where the town's residents meet for a gossip. The town has a rich Fijian and colonial heritage and the best way to learn about it is by walking and talking with the genuinely hospitable locals, either on a guided walking tour or on a home visit arranged through the museum at the Morris Hedstrom building on Beach Street.
The main thoroughfare of Levuka town, misleadingly named Beach Street, passes between the rocky seawall and the town's most historic buildings. It's a simple tar-sealed track where dogs roam and people wander back and forth unconcerned about the occasional carrier van that trundles along.


@Polejams made an impact on the social media BMX world almost instantly. There are some pleasures that come from riding a BMX which are hard to explain how truly great and simple they are, Pole jams are one of those things. The submission this account received is proof many riders share that opinion. We hit up Mason Gray, the man behind the account with a quick Q&A and he chose his personal favorite Canadian submissions in the gallery below.
When did you start the insta account and where did the idea/motivation come from to start it?
On average how many submissions of pictures was @polejams receiving daily or weekly?
How much time did you spend updating the insta account?
Not too much time, having to download photos & videos was about the most I did.
Without giving anything away, what are some rough ideas or projects you'll be spending your time on moving forward?
If you follow my personal instagram, its not really any secret that photography & zines are a large interest of mine. I've always wanted to make my own zines and it's been on my mind more & more over the past couple years. It's not something 100% based around BMX because thats definitely not where all my interests are but I think some people within the community will hopefully still be able to appreciate it. There's only so many jokes a guy can make about poles man, hahaha it was time to pull the plug and do something else. You can hit @badv3ntures on instagram if you're interested.
What are your 5 or 10 favorite Canadian submissions from over the years (maybe we could post the full res and some descriptions/ write ups of why for each).
Gonna work on this one for you.
Is the polejam your favourite stunt?
Nah, def the cash-roll cause it has the coolest name. abubaca is funny too, who thought of that one??
Any words of wisdom for dudes, crews or anyone trying to make it on insta rather than the real world?


Nestled into the mountain forestry and surrounded by serene nature, Bear Footin' is your ideal mountain cabin for a Smoky Mountain getaway with another couple, small family, or a few close friends.

Why Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Recruit Outside the Ivy League Liberal Bubble
October 22, 2019 by admin 0 Comments
Mark Zuckerberg wants you to know that Facebook strives for diversity in its workforce — and not just on the basis of race or gender. The CEO says he works hard to recruit people who attended a state school, are rooted to their local communities and come from traditional backgrounds.
"We certainly do," Zuckerberg said of his 40,000 mostly U.S.-based employees in an interview with the New York Post.
"There's a woman who runs our commerce product and is deeply religious," he said. "The person who runs policies of the company is quite a prominent Republican. So we have people from quite different views, which I think might be a little bit different from most of the other tech companies. That's something that I really focused on."
Big tech companies, sports entities, Hollywood and the media have all faced criticism in recent years for the lack of cultural diversity in their leadership roles. It's even a problem in the public sector. A whopping 40% of the 250 top American public sector decision-makers are Ivy League graduates, according to a National Journal survey. Only a quarter hold a graduate degree from a public university.
And boardroom members typically come from the elite ZIP codes of New York City, Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley and their surrounding areas. Zuckerberg himself is an example of the problem: He grew up in the wealthy Westchester town of Dobbs Ferry and went to Harvard before dropping out to focus on Facebook.
That lack of representation from people who grew up in rural areas or Rust Belt cities — whose experiences include sitting in a pew on Sunday, getting a little dirt under their nails and owning a gun — has widened the cultural divide and led to our current polarized political discourse.
Why? Because typically, the people who decide what ad you see or how your news is delivered or what behavior is acceptable on and off a sports field are unfamiliar with life in the part of America derisively nicknamed "flyover country."
Zuckerberg says he views Facebook as a series of small communities where the average Joe can speak out just as powerfully as a prominent politician.
"We need to make sure that we're giving more power to the equal," he said, "not just reinforcing existing institutions that exist in society.
"I think that's really important for where we are today, to not fall into a monoculture. Real progress has always been made by individuals having a voice and changing many individual steps forward to improve their lives and communities."
Zuckerberg was in Washington for a speech at Georgetown University that was live-streamed from his personal Facebook page. He will also testify next week before the House Financial Services Committee about his cryptocurrency project, Libra.
He said his speech — in which he defined his peer group of high-tech companies as the "fifth estate," taking their place alongside traditional news media — was one he had been thinking about for a very long time.
"I thought it was important to give a full articulation of my views on free expression. Giving people a voice is so important, and it has been throughout history," he said.
During our interview, the seemingly aloof Zuckerberg, 35, was candid in talking about how important his own Jewish faith is to him and relaxed and funny in reflecting on how things have changed since he launched "The Facebook" in his dorm room in 2004.
Zuckerberg has certainly taken his lumps. For years, he has been blasted from all sides for Facebook's business practices — from making money on false ads to breaching the privacy of its users. Oftentimes, the Facebook CEO and his team have seemed locked in an ivory tower as they arrogantly battled these crises from on high.
With his speech and this interview, Zuckerberg is clearly trying to show his more human side, especially as he fights accusations from both sides of the political aisle. While Republicans insist that users and news with a more conservative bent have been censored on his platform, Democrats claim Facebook spreads political misinformation.
Recently, presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren took this to the next level, paying for a deliberately deceptive Facebook ad that read, in part, "Breaking news: Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook just endorsed Donald Trump for reelection." Her ad was a response to Trump's 2020 reelection campaign ads, which blasted Joe Biden and his son for corruption, charges they both deny. Zuckerberg has so far not removed any of the ads and has defended this policy.
"People worry, and I worry deeply, too, about an erosion of truth," Zuckerberg told The Washington Post. "At the same time, I don't think people want to live in a world where you can only say things that tech companies decide are 100% true."
Even in the face of a cancel culture and tribal political war, Zuckerberg believes that free speech is absolute, and he does not think private companies should censor politicians.
"The hardest threat to free expression comes from our culture itself," he told the New York Post. "Because democracy depends on people holding each other's right to express ourselves above our own desire to get our way in every debate that we have.
"And increasingly, it seems like a larger number of people are willing to put whatever political outcome they want above respecting other people's ability to express themselves and have a voice," he said.
"I think that that's really dangerous."

A subnet mask specifies a range of IP addresses (when combined with an IP Address). The subnet mask is used to differentiate between internal and external network traffic, that is, which IP addresses are in the valid network number range for your network. Type this into the subnet field in all computers sharing this connection. It may be different than your External Interface's subnet mask (found in System Preferences->Network). Defaults to 255.255.255.0.
number of bits used for the network number part of an IP address.
IPNetShareX will try to keep the same port number when altering outgoing packets. With this option, protocols such as RPC will have a better chance of working. If it is not possible to maintain the port number, it will be silently changed as per normal.
Allocates sockets in order to establish FTP data and IRC DCC send connections. This option uses more system resources, but guarantees successful connections when port numbers conflict.
Logs various aliasing statistics and information to the file /var/log/alias.log. This file is truncated each time internet sharing is started.
Rejects packets destined for the current IP number that have no entry in the internal translation table.
Logs denied incoming packets via syslog.
The interface you receive data from your ISP through (usually either a modem or a ethernet card connected to a DSL modem, Cable modem, or ethernet hub).
The interface that your internal network is connected to. This can be the same as your external interface.
IPNetShareX will monitor the External Interface for changes. If the interface's IP number is changed, IPNetShareX, will dynamically alter routing table. This option should be used if you are connecting with a dynamically assigned IP address from PPP, DHCP or PPPoE. It cannot be used for Single Ethernet configurations.
This option will start a local daemon to store domain name information. This is useful if your name server is assigned dynamically as is the case with some implementations of PPPoE.
This creates the files necessary to start natd and domain name services on startup. You can see the actual unix commands IPNetShareX generates by looking in /library/startupitems after enabling Load on Startup. Notice IPNetShareX itself does not run when your system is restarted.
When configuring a secondary interface in the network control panel, make sure the router address is set to 0.0.0.0, not the same as its IP address and the router address in IPNetShareX.
If you are using PPPoE and your Domain Name Server (DNS) information is dynamically assigned, enable the "Local Caching Name Server" option.
If you have only one Ethernet card you generally do not have to change anything for the External Interface in the network control panel of the computer that will serve as your gateway.
If you are sharing between two computers which each have an Airport card but you have no hardware base station, create a "computer-to-computer" network and then configure IPNetShareX to use the Airport card as its internal interface on the server.
To start NAT services when you start up your machine, enable the "Load on Startup" option.
Dial-up modem connection (using PPP), built-in ethernet card to internal network.
Dial-up modem connection (using PPP), Airport network.
DSL/Cable or other ethernet based connection (static IP), Airport network.
DSL/Cable or other ethernet based connection (DHCP or other dynamically assigned IP), Airport network.
DSL/Cable or other ethernet based connection (static IP), secondary ethernet card to internal network.
DSL/Cable or other ethernet based connection (DHCP or other dynamically assigned IP), secondary ethernet card to internal network.
DSL/Cable or other ethernet based connection (static IP), one ethernet interface.
DSL or other ethernet based connection (dynamically assigned IP), one ethernet interface.
Click the "Show:" popup menu and choose "Active Network Ports"
Now, you will have two different copies of the ethernet interface in the "Show:" popup menu. Set up "Built-in Ethernet" as the external (DHCP) interface, and "Built-in Ethernet Local" as the internal interface.
Enter a unique IP address in a chosen class other than the router address.
Enter the subnet mask into the corresponding field (sometimes called netmask or subnet in other operating systems).
Enter the router address into the correct field (sometimes called default router).
If you enabled the "Local Caching Name Server" option, Enter the IP address of the machine with IPNetShareX installed on it (in this case 192.168.0.1) as the domain name server (sometime called name server or DNS). Otherwise, specify a valid Name Server address directly (should be the same as the name server address used by your IPNetShareX server). If your IPNetShareX server is configured via DHCP and you don't know the name server address it received, you can use the DHCP Lease tool in IPNetMonitorX to find it (available from www.sustworks.com), or contact your ISP to request the name server address.
Save or Apply your settings.
IPNetShareX is a relatively simple utility for configuring unix "natd" and "ipfw". Everything it does you can also do from a terminal window using unix command lines directly. This section describes the most common problems you might encounter.
To configure any computer to use TCP/IP, you must specify four pieces of information: IP address, network mask, router address, and name server address. You must specify these correctly for each network interface on each computer. If you are not sure what values to use, you may need help with TCP/IP.
The most common problem is not specifying a valid Name Server address at each client computer.
(1) Trying to configure unix "natd" or "ipfw" more than once.
Check the directory /library/startupitems on your Mac OS X system disk to make sure there are no other startup items that are trying to configure "natd" or "ipfw". Such items are typically named "NAT", "gNAT" or for some other firewall tool. IPNetShareX is not compatible with Norton Personal Firewall, Fire Walker, or Brick House at this time.
Next, you can verify how IPNetShareX has configured your system from a terminal window.
- type "ifconfig -a" to see a list of configured interfaces.
You might copy and paste this into any message asking for help.
IP interfaces for Internet sharing.
- type "sudo ipfw list" to see a list of firewall rules.
The first rule (#95) is critical and must be first.
(2) Not aware of natd's limitations and how to test it.
you may have trouble using DHCP to configure your external interface.
distinguishing multiple IP interfaces on the same Ethernet.

- You may not be able to use ping or traceroute through natd.
Use domain name lookups instead.
to restart Internet Sharing each time your IP address changes.
but some users still report difficulties).
remove any "natd" startup items, and restart your system.
IPNetShareX requires the BSD subsystem to run "natd".
If you have previously configured Internet Sharing to "Load on startup", unselect this using your previous version of the software before installing the latest version from our website.

The cookie monster vs. the law – now live on TV
data protection technology & digitalisation telecommunications & media
HbbTV: the stumbling block
Cookie banners have become a common sight for internet users in Europe. Recently the first cookie banners also appeared on Austrian TV screens.1 This is a side effect of the hybrid broadcast broadband TV ("HbbTV") standard, which merges classical television with the internet. HbbTV offers a broad variety of new services to viewers, such as an electronic programme guide, video on demand, "super text" (an advanced teletext with a more attractive user interface with more information), games, and much more. All these services are accessible on the TV screen without the need to switch the channel.
On the other hand, HbbTV enables broadcasters to track the viewing habits of their audience in real time with great accuracy to optimise strategic programming and advertising. To this end, broadcasters use conventional web analytics services like Google Analytics, which in turn are based on cookies and similar technologies to make the individual devices identifiable. In February 2020, the HbbTV TA standard was introduced, replacing generic TV commercials in a linear broadcast feed with targeted ads delivered via broadband. Targeted advertising also relies on unique identifiers, provided e.g. via cookies or device IDs.
The ePrivacy Directive
Art. 5 (3) of the ePrivacy Directive (ePD) requires the user's consent when using electronic communications networks to store or access information on the user's device. If storage or access is technically necessary for the provision of the service, no consent is required. In any case, however, the user must be informed about such activity. This provision is the legal origin of all cookie banners. Whenever a website uses cookies, users must be informed. Since cookies used for targeted ads or web analytics are not technically necessary to operate a website, they require the user's consent. This approach is commonly referred to as "notice and consent".
It is important to point out that Art. 5 (3) ePD is technology neutral. First, its scope is not limited to cookies but covers all technologies that store or access data on users' devices. Art. 5 (3) ePD thus also covers inter alia web storage, fingerprinting, or accessing a device-ID or advertising-ID. Second, it does not only apply to surfing the web on a computer but to the usage of electronic communications networks in general by all kinds of devices.
HbbTV typically uses the internet to access unique identifiers that are stored on a device. Art. 5 (3) ePD therefore applies and viewers must be informed and, where necessary, asked for their consent.
More privacy?
Since HbbTV has become a common standard in Europe, cookie banners will soon become prevalent on TV screens as well. But do cookie banners actually strengthen viewers' privacy?
Providing information on how data is used obviously is important and cookie banners as well as privacy policies therefore serve a very legitimate purpose. However, a 2018 study showed that half of all participants considered the likelihood that they would click on the link in a cookie banner to receive additional information to be less than 13 %.2 Those few users who actually want additional information may face serious challenges: An analysis of 150 privacy policies showed that the vast majority require at least college reading level.3 Most privacy policies, which tend to be verbose and full of legal and technical jargon, are therefore incomprehensible for the average reader.
And if people do not understand how data is used, how can they give their consent? To be legally valid, consent must be informed, meaning the permission must be granted in full knowledge of the consequences. For the average person without any prior knowledge of privacy law, cookies or the internet protocol suite, giving informed consent seems almost impossible. Furthermore, most requests for consent seen on the internet or on TV do not comply with basic design requirements, in particular the need to give a choice to either accept or reject the use of cookies. In August 2018, only 3.2 % of the most popular websites in the EU provided such a binary option in their cookie banners, while 57.4 % of the websites used so-called "dark patterns", i.e. interface designs that try to guide users to desired behaviour through malicious interaction flows.4 Another study showed that 11.6 % of the analysed websites stored a positive consent before the user has made a choice in the banner; 5.3 % simply did not respect the user's choice at all.5
Different privacy!
HbbTV has brought cookie banners onto our TV screens. But will it stop there? Analytics of usage behaviour and targeted ads are also a common phenomenon on mobile apps, yet cookie banners or requests for consent are still scarce.
For most users, cookie banners remain an annoying phenomenon. And those cookie banners which do not comply with the law are indeed just that. But the ultimate question should not be "How to achieve better compliance?" but rather "How to achieve better user privacy?" This goal may require a change of direction. Privacy should not be the concern merely of the website publisher, mobile app developer or TV broadcaster. Rather, privacy should be integral to the underlying technical standards itself. Whenever a new standard is developed, such as HbbTV, the protection of privacy should be considered right from the start. In the authors' opinion, this is what privacy by design should actually mean in practice.

Killer whale in the Gerlache Strait.
The gentle gentoo's call echoes through our minds. It could be considered the music of the day for it swirled about us on shore morning and afternoon. But now, at the end of the day, maybe what we desire to wrap ourselves in is the sound of silence for only it can express the vastness of the place we find ourselves in.
Light and shadows danced on white peaks and flanks of impressive mountains as fingers of fog crept into valleys and darkened following seas. Puffy clouds ornamented the sky while Icebergs were sculptures in the alleyway between islands. Early risers barely had an instant to gasp at the grandeur before the waters exploded with life. Killer whales! Humpback whales! No matter which direction we faced were blows and backs. Huge six foot tall dorsal fins of two male Orcinus orca rose and fell as they headed north in the Gerlache Strait but the younger members of the crowd rolled and bobbed presumably playfully at our side while older individuals moved nearby in groups of three or five. The humpbacks too seemed to be everywhere purposefully travelling or feeding, periodically raising their tail flukes as they dove deeper beneath the surface.
On shore both on tiny Cuverville Island and along the rocky edges of nearby Neko Harbour, a new generation was being tenderly cared for. Gentoo parents sat on pebble mounds, their eggs or very tiny progeny tucked within a warm brood patch low on their bellies. Periodically a partner returned from the sea and they both brayed boisterously before trading positions on the nest. Tiny little heads waved from side to side reaching toward their parent's beak for a bolus of sustenance. Meow like calls warned of aerial predator attacks from brown skuas and kelp gulls as they searched for nutritious meals for their own fluffy chicks. Both locations too offered the opportunity to climb above the colonies to look far off and listen to the sound of glaciers calving. Crabeater seals lazed on floes that slowly drifted by.
Was this really our first full day in Antarctic? We transition easily to shore via Zodiac having learned the skill with little practice. We have slowed our pace and are content to sit or stand, to wait and watch. The curiosity of childhood is creeping back into our lives and we await the gift of tomorrow as we continue further south.

Irish Water has been forced into an embarrassing climb down after trying to put in place meters to charge people for a private supply.
The company is also disputing claims in Portlaoise from residents that it is replacing meters that were installed just last year. It did confirm it has had to replace meter boxes.
Contractors working for the State company begin work installing meters at the Killenard Lodge Estate last Wednesday. The sight of the workers led to an almost instant response from residents of the estate, whose supply is provided from a private well.
Irish Water said its work in Killenard was based on "the best information available".
"During the installation of meters in Killenard Lodge, the site team was contacted by a resident and advised that the estate was not connected to the public water mains. The Irish Water team contacted the local authority and clarified that this was the case. Irish Water updated its survey information to record that this estate was not connected to the public water mains and no further water meters were installed," it said.
The company said it is establishing a database to record the location and nature of all public water assets, something which to date has not existed in Ireland.

On snow training off to an early start this year at Copper Mountain Resort
By John LaConte / The Vail Daily
VAIL — Some years, it's November before local ski racers are able to start their on-snow training.
2017 is not one of those years.
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail has been making regular trips up to Copper Mountain for more than two weeks now as cold temperatures have contributed to good snowmaking conditions.
Copper's Excelerator chairlift is now open to ski racers in Colorado, transporting them up to several open lanes on the Copperopolis race course.
"Mother Nature has been cooperating, and we've been able to blow some snow up there," said Taylor Prather, Copper Mountain's public relations manager. "The sooner that we can get them on-snow training, the better for everyone."
The U.S. Ski Team Speed Center is expected to open in the coming days on the east side of the mountain, and will host professionals for downhill and super-G training as the men's team prepares for the Birds of Prey downhill, super-G and giant slalom races in Beaver Creek from Dec. 1 to 3.
'QUALITY SKI TIME'
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail coach Sylvan Kaufman has been heading up to Copper nearly every day with his group of 14 and 15 year old athletes. He said the snow has been perfect for his group.
"We're doing a lot of technical and tactical work right now, so for our purposes it's awesome," he said. "We're just getting mileage and working on skill development, and it has been great to be able to do that in October. I know some years we're not so lucky."
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail's 12 and 13 year old age group — known as the U14s — have been making regular trips to Copper Mountain, as well.
"One of the cool things about the Copper training was, alongside the U14s on snow were members of SSCV's men's and women's FIS programs, as well as members of the CU Buffalos' Ski Team," said Geoff Mintz, Ski & Snowboard Club Vail communications manager. "So the kids were not only getting quality ski time with their coaches, they were able to watch some really good skiing, as well, and learn a thing or two in the process."
The local compliment to the downhill and super-G training at Copper Mountain is the giant slalom and slalom training offered in Vail at Golden Peak. Vail's Golden Peak Race Arena is shooting for a mid-November opening, Mintz said, as snowmaking has been underway for several weeks there.
Copper Mountain is scheduled to open to the general public on Nov. 10 at 9 a.m., with Vail's opening one week later on Nov. 17.

Albert Ostroy: A Tribute to One of Mazzetti's "Founding Fathers"
Walt Vernon, PE, LEED AP, EDAC, FASHE
Principal, Chief Executive Officer
Albert was one of the key people responsible for building the company we are today…
When I started at Mazzetti (28 years ago), we had around 10 people, all of which were electrical staff. Shortly after I started, John Pappas joined to start the Mechanical Department (that story for another day).
As John was building demand for our mechanical services, he contacted Albert, who had worked with the two of us at Flack + Kurtz (now WSP). Albert joined soon thereafter and worked with John to build our mechanical department.
Albert was a character. He may have seemed gruff to some, but he had a heart of pure gold.
The first "really significant" Mazzetti healthcare project was the Kaiser San Francisco Hospital Seismic Upgrade. This was an incredibly complex project. The building was built with 10′-6″ floor to floor heights, without air conditioning. Kaiser decided that they wanted to do a seismic upgrade of the building, while it remained in operation, and to fully upgrade it to modern codes and standards. The complexity of this project is still unmatched in my experience, and most of the burden fell on Albert to coordinate the teeny little ducts through the piping and structure into those ceilings. He persevered and delivered.
Albert had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for many years and passed away last week. His wife, Yana told me that, aside from his family, there was only one thing he remembered, even in the end, and that was Mazzetti. The people here and the company we built, was that special to him that his suffering brain still held onto that.
In a very real way, Albert helped make us what (and who) we are today.
A toast to a great engineer and friend. Your memory will forever live on at Mazzetti.

I engaged Go To Court Lawyers to assist in my case. From my 1st telephone call I was provided with prompt service and a meeting set up on the same day with Ali Rana. Ali provided me with some great advice and I felt he had very good knowledge of the legal system which I was about to face. He worked with me though out my case and was able to assist me with any questions I had. A great outcome was reached which I do not think would have been possible without the assistance of Ali. I hope I am never faced with this situation again as it was a very unfortunate set of circumstances. Thank you Ali.

Designer Sibella Court's Art Deco apartment is a masterclass on how to create a stylish and unique home from the bones of a tired retro space.
Designer Sibella Court's Art Deco apartment in Bellvue Hill is a masterclass on how to create an incredibly stylish and unique home from the bones of a tired, retro space.
For anyone that's walked into a rundown apartment and thought, "there's so much potential here", it can be frustrating to know what to do and where to start. Thankfully, interior designers like Sibella Court are here to delight and inspire the rest of us when we're stuck for ideas on how to go about the renovation of an older home.
Sibella's colourful and artistic approach means there are no white walls to be seen. Instead, there are calming earthy tones of greys, greens and blues, contrasting with natural and textural surfaces of timber and marble.
The recently-sold, modestly sized home feels bigger than the floorplan would indicate, and enjoys a northerly view across Sydney's harbour. The kitchens (yes, there are two) make for great entertaining spaces, while the two bedrooms invite a feeling of calmness and serenity.
The walls are almost heaving with incredible art from around the world and each room is considered and meaningful with its design.
There's also a huge terrace which includes a jungle-like outdoor kitchen – perfect for spending a balmy evening entertaining friends or enjoying a meal.
When it comes to knowing how to approach renovating an existing space, Sibella suggests taking queues from what's already there in the bones of the home.

Introduction: What is the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption?


PETERSEN MEDIA- With a flat tire slowing Willie Croft on Saturday night with the King of the West Series, the Roseville, CA driver is looking for a little redemption this weekend at the 2nd Annual Asparagus Cup in Stockton, CA.
Timing the Holey Smokes BBQ/ButlerBuilt/Brown and Miller backed machine in fastest overall in qualifying time trials, Croft would continue a strong start to the night as he pick up a spot in heat race action to finish third.
Moving into the Dash, Croft would line up in the third row and work his way up to finish fourth, which would better his feature event starting position as he would grid the field from the second row.
Always showing speed at Kern County Raceway Park, Croft would look to get the monkey off of his back on this night at the Bakersfield, CA facility but an early flat tire would make the opening stages of the race tricky.
Falling back to eight, Croft would finally pull into the work area during an early stoppage and grab some fresh rubber. Trying some things, Croft would get back to 13th where he would ultimately take the checkered flag.
Fast forward to this week, and Croft and the Willie Croft Racing team are looking forward to two nights of action at the Stockton Dirt Track for the 2nd Annual Asparagus Cup.
Cashing in at the track a year ago, Croft was in contention for the inaugural Asparagus Cup win and returns this year hungry to grab what has quickly turned into a crowned jewel event with a lucrative payday up for grabs.
2019 BY THE NUMBERS: Races-7, Wins-0, Top 5's-0, Top 10's-0.
ON TAP: Willie Croft is set for the 2nd Annual Asparagus Cup this Friday and Saturday night Stockton, CA.

PAKISTAN TRAIN FIRE Train fire in Pakistan kills dozens after cooking acciden
By LoveWorld UK on	 31st October 2019 News
A fire swept through a Pakistani train killing at least 65 people, police said, after a gas canister passengers were using to cook breakfast exploded. The number of people reported dead has been rising as investigations continue.
The fire destroyed three of the train's carriages near the town of Rahim Yar Khan, in the south of the Punjab province.
People sneaking stoves onto trains in order to prepare meals on long journeys is a common problem, said the Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.
Pakistan's colonial-era railway network has fallen into disrepair in recent decades due to chronic under-investment and poor maintenance.
Eleven people were killed in an accident in July and four in another accident in September.
About 130 people were killed in 2005 when a train rammed into another at a station in Sindh province, and a third train hit the wreck

Q: Elasticsearch Two sibling aggregations cannot have the same name I'm running Elastic 1.4.4 and have created some code with a range aggregation and a sub-aggregation (cardinality).
If I run my code with a matchall query and some filterquery to get a subset all works fine.
I see the range aggregation and the expected values for the sub-aggregation.
But as soon as I add a query things fall apart.
I run into an error: "Two sibling aggregations cannot have the same name".
This seems strange since I have the same aggregation/sub-aggregation defined before without any problem.
This is basically what I do:
SearchResponse response =
client.prepareSearch(esIndex)
.setQuery(query)
.setFrom(startAt)
.setSize(topSize)
.addAggregation(AggregationBuilders.cardinality(UNIQUE_IPS).field(Constants.MAIN_COLLAPSE_FIELD))
.addAggregation(collapse)
.addAggregation(filtersetbranche)              \
.addAggregation(Constants.FTE_RANGES_AGGS.subAggregation(AggregationBuilders.cardinality("ftecounts").field(Constants.MAIN_COLLAPSE_FIELD)))
.execute()
.actionGet();

A: I found the issue.
I added a subaggregation to the Constants.FTE_RANGES_AGGS dynamically.
So, the first time I call this piece of code all is fine.
But the next time I added the same subaggregation with the same name hence the error "Two sibling aggregations cannot have the same name".
So, I have to rewrite it to use a copy of the Constant or do it in a different way.

We were traveling back from visiting my husband's brother and his family in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and had about 2 hours left on our trip. We stopped at Sam's Club to stock up on groceries and other items that we don't have in our small town. I had my four kids with me while Jeremiah was taking care of something at the guest services desk. As I was pushing the shopping cart, anxiety and panic came over me. My three and four-year-old were running ahead and refusing to listen.
From the music blaring through the speakers, the busy shoppers, and stimulation in front of me, I broke down. I went over to the counter where Jeremiah was and left the kids and the big cart at his feet. I darted for the tire aisle so I could hide behind all that black rubber and cry. The anxiety and fear were so intense within me that I felt hopeless.
If you've ever been in a place similar to mine, you know that trusting God in the smallest details of your life can be hard especially if anxiety is a daily battle raging in your heart and mind. I often wonder why he tells us so much in Scripture "do not fear" "don't be afraid" and "fear not" 365 times! And how in Matthew, Jesus says, "Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more of value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" (Matt. 6:26-27) I failed to realize that he cares for me as a mom of young children, too. Honestly, I didn't believe that he saw me that day.
That day I'd failed to trust that God could, in fact, get me through that store with all my kids in tow. I feared them getting lost, stolen, and just the sense of losing complete control (something I love to have). I was fearing everything that day. I was choosing not to abide in Jesus for the help He could provide. I failed to realize that he cares for me as a mom of young children, too. Honestly, I didn't believe that he saw me that day.
May we cry out in humility, dependence, and faith that He will answer our need for peace, calm, and hope in our hearts no matter what challenge we're facing– great or small.

Anser é um gênero de aves anseriformes que inclui os chamados gansos cinzentos e os gansos brancos. Eles pertencem à subfamília Anserinae, que inclui os gansos verdadeiros e os cisnes. O gênero se distribui pelo holártico, com ao menos uma espécie se reproduzindo  em qualquer habitat aberto e úmido em regiões subárticas e temperadas frias do hemisfério norte durante o verão. Algumas avançam mais ao sul, se reproduzindo em regiões temperadas quentes. Durante o inverno elas migram para o sul, para regiões temperadas.

Características
Todos os gansos Anser tem pernas e pés com cor que pode ser rosada ou laranja, o bico pode também ser rosado ou laranja e também preto. Todos possuem a cauda recoberta por penas brancas e alguma extensão de branco na cabeça. O pescoço, o corpo e as asas podem ser cinza ou branco, com rémiges e frequentemente também as secundárias sendo pretas ou enegrecidas. Eles se diferem dos proximamente relacionados gansos "negros" do gênero Branta por estes terem pernas pretas e geralmente uma plumagem mais escura.

O gênero contém 11 espécies vivas, que possuem várias formas e tamanhos de gansos verdadeiros. O Ganso-bravo é o maior destes, podendo chegar a pesar de 2,5 a 4,1kg. Atualmente, as três espécies de "gansos brancos"(Ganso-imperador, Ganso-das-neves e Ganso-das-neves-pequeno) formam um gênero separado, o Chen, mas ainda são geralmente incluidas em Anser.

Dieta
Os gansos são aves herbívoras e como são aves com capacidade de nadar podem mergulhar para alcançar plantas submersas.

Reprodução
Os gansos tendem a formar casais para a vida toda. Eles se reproduzem no verão, quando fazem seus ninhos próximos à água ou em ilhotas, podendo também ser nas falésias e menos comumente em árvores. Esse ninho é forrado com penugem que as gansas retiram do peito. Elas postam de 2 a 8 ovos que são chocados por um período de 20 a 21 dias. Os filhotes são precoces e se alimentam sozinhos, apesar de acompanharem a mãe por um período.

Sistemática, taxonomia e evolução
O gênero foi introduzido em 1760 pelo zoologista francês Mathurin Jacques Brisson. O nome deriva do tautonimo do epiteto específico do ganso-bravo Anas anser introduzido por Linnaeus em 1758. A palavra Anser por sua vez deriva do palavra em Latim para ganso.

Filogenia
As relações evolucionárias entre os gansos do gênero Anser são de difícil resolução por conta da rápida radiação durante o período Pleistoceno e também pela frequente hibridização.

Em 2016, Jente Ottenburghs e colegas publicaram um estudo que visou estabelecer as relações filogenéticas entre as espécies do gênero.

Espécies
O gênero contém 11 espécies:

Chen
Os gansos de coloração predominantemente branca são frequentemente incluídos num gênero à parte, o gênero Chen, com um deles por vezes incluído no gênero Philacte. Contudo, essas espécies não são distinguíveis anatomicamente das restantes espécies do gênero Anser, embora existam algumas evidências moleculares de que pertenceram a uma linhagem distinta. Assim, apesar de muitas obras ornitológicas incluírem Chen como parte do Anser, a AOU e a IUCN são organizações relevantes que consideram estes gêneros como separados. Alguns autores consideram diversas subespécies também como espécies distintas ou como espécies potencialmente distintas.

A domesticação
Os gansos amplamente domesticados dos dias atuais são descendentes diretos de duas espécies: as raças originárias do oeste europeu foram adquiridas através da domesticação do ganso-bravo(Anser anser) enquanto que as raças de origem asiática foram produzidas a partir da domesticação do Ganso-cisne(Anser cygnoides). Esses são os dois parentes selvagens dos quais os gansos domésticos se originaram, habitantes das zonas temperadas do Hemisfério Norte. O ganso-bravo é mais meridional que os gansos que se reproduzem na Europa e vem sido criado pelo homem desde o período neolítico, sendo que é o ancestral da maior parte das raças europeias. O Ganso-cisne é originário da China e da Mongólia e vem sendo domesticado há mais ou menos 3 mil anos, porem a despeito disso é uma espécie que tem sido pouco estudada. Os gansos domésticos tem uma grande vantagem que coincide em serem criados se alimentando apenas de proteínas vindas de vegetais. Essas aves tem tendencia a consumir mais alimentam do que precisam e essa tendencia foi explorada durante o tempo para engordá-los e também para torná-los tão pesados a ponto de não mais conseguirem voar. Como os gansos domésticos, quando possível, podem se reproduzir livremente com os selvagens, raças não foram bem estabelecidas.

O raça "ganso-chinês" pode ser facilmente distinguida dos gansos europeus por conta da presença de uma carúncula na base do bico, apesar dos hibridros entre estes poderem apresentar essa carúncula de tamanho variado.

A domesticação destas aves vem desde a antiguidade, com evidências arqueológicas apontando para que tenha começado há cerca de 5 mil anos no antigo Egito. Foram ocorrendo seleções artificiais para se ter um animal maior que seus parentes selvagens. Assim sendo, o ganso domesticado pode chegar a pesar 10kg. Esse ganho de peso e tamanho interferiu na estrutura física destes gansos, que depositam mais gordura na extremidade caudal levando-os a ter uma postura mais ereta. Essa característica tirou dos gansos domesticados a capacidade de voar.

A domesticação também selecionou as aves de forma a aumentar sua feduncidade. Enquanto uma gansa selvagem posta de 5 a 12 ovos durante um ano, algumas gansas domésticas podem chegar a por 160 ovos por ano. As mudanças na plumagem são variáveis. Alguns foram selecionados de forma que perderam o tom castanho-escuro característico dos selvagens, levando a gansos de plumagem completamente branca. Outros por sua vez, mantiveram a plumagem natural, como o "Ganso-de-toulouse".

My very first Moonalisa order is tucked safely under my belt. In the past, I had read dozens of reviews about this being a popular vendor who's product flies off the virtual shelves. Especially during a Halloween release. I had no idea what to expect so I quickly chose three products based on names alone.
Sleepy Hallow Soy Tart clamshell: I had no idea what the notes might be but I counted on spooky goodness. This does not disappoint. It smells like a Jack 'O Lantern that has been lit all night, frightening little children and goblins away. Pumpkin, lightly toasted with candle fire.
Where's My Pie free sample: This was in the drawstring bag with a stick of candy and a business card. I totally thought it was wax and was going gaga over it. But after taking the photos and editing them, I read that it was soap! I quickly took it in the shower and was amazed. The dark base is full of exfoliating granules that smell and feel like fine sugared cinnamon. THE SMELL. Oh. Pure, unadulterated sweet cinnamon. I kept looking around the shower to see if my cinnamon broom crept in there and was hiding in a corner (she's insanely jealous of my Nimbus 2000). I have never used a straight up cinnamon soap but I am in love. It tingled with goodness. It lathered well and rinsed just as beautifully.
My haste tricked me. When I was ordering I knew I wanted a wax tart, a soap and a hair conditioner. I think by now y'all know I am into musky, minty, earthy, different scents. I am not a bakery or fruity fan in body care or perfume in general. There are of course exceptions but this was not the time for that. I found the scent Wicked Amber in both the soap and conditioner and thought "Oh, yes, warm and rich amber. Come to mama." I should have read the scent description. It turned out that it is a predominately apple scent with a hint of amber and was misnamed on the website and the invoice. It was supposed to read Wicked Apple. I did not know this. I opened my package and my face fell a little. Apple? Hm. I messaged Moonalisa and explained that I received the wrong scent. I ordered Amber, not Apple. She told me it was the same scent description and that it was a simple naming error. I told her it was my bad since I went based off of the name, not even bothering to read the scent descriptions. She VERY generously refunded my order amount. I was NOT expecting that. At all. I told her thank you and that I would be back. Excellent customer service.
Wicked Apple Hair Conditioner: The scent, though the same in the soap and the conditioner, smells differently in each medium. In the conditioner is it much more bakery and apple crisp smelling. Can I say how weird it feels to wash my hair with apple crisp? The conditioner itself is a dream. Thick, nice slip and moisturizing. A little goes a longer way than I am "conditioned" to experience (you like that? yeah, I am punny). I plan on ordering her conditioner again. I still love my FuturePrimitive conditioner but I am a free agent. I like having choices. My curls enjoy both formulas, even though they are different.
Wicked Apple Soap: I think this is a hot process soap. The mica/glycerin swirls remind me of the first and only melt and pour soaps I made years ago as Christmas gifts. I cut off a decent sized hunk and used it in the shower. The scent in soap form is less bakery and a little more apple and musk and amber. I enjoy it much much more in the soap form. This bar lathered copious amounts of soft white fluffy foam. It did leave my skin squeaky clean with just the tiniest bit of tightness but nothing that bothered me. I love staring at those colors and swirling clouds of shimmering aqua. It looks like a potion simmering in a magical cauldron frozen in time.
Have you tried Moonalisa? Any recommendations? Does she do a Christmas release? Hope you have a splendid last week of October!
Wow, fun order! Ooh, the top on the Wicked Amber soap, it looks like the northern lights. Moona's soaps are melt and pour, maybe because it gives her the most control over their look. She went to art school and likes to push the boundaries on it. Looking forward to seeing the cozy goodness you get for the holidays.
I was going to say that's not hot process. You can usually tell hot process soaps by their sort of lumpy texture and look, like oatmeal pressed into a mold.
That is cool she has an art background. Melt and pour it is then. I was not which one, just knew it wasn't cold. I hope her Yule stuff stays up a while. I want to smell O'Tannenbaum.
By the way when you're running low on salts, Solstice Scents' awesome fir salts are out. Their salts are super highly scented with Virginia cedarwood, patchouli, oakmoss absolute, spruce, cypress, amyris, rosewood, violet leaf absolute, rosemary, lavender, vetiver, marjoram and Himalayan cedar.
They have a jar of grapefruit salts that is amazing also, with 3 kinds of grapefruit oils.
Oh Jean!!!! You tantalize me with descriptions of fir bath salts! Be still my pine loving heart. I did cave and get O' Tannenbaum 4 in 1 from Moonalisa. Could not help it.
I just went to the website and the Yule stuff is out, I guess it came out this weekend. Snuggler is one of my favorites, it smells like Andes mint chocolate.
I enjoyed that one mint chocolate one you gave me a and it surprised me as I do not typically enjoy chocolate scents.
Er, the first part of the Yule sale is tonight at 9:30, the listings up are for internationals. Some of the posts on Facebook are long so it takes a bit to figure out what's going on, lol.
I've never ordered from there myself but I have had some things to try from Jean, and maybe from Lynda back in the day. This used to be one of the impossible ones to order from. Is it still like that?
I've decided that since I can't seem to get into bar soaps again, I'll try handcrafted body washes instead. Now I need to start looking for vendors that offer them. I know of two off the top of my head.
It's way better, very calm now. Everything is made to order and the counts are set high, I don't see much sell out right away. After a few days the listings are closed and then she makes enough for what's sold.
Moona does body washes, btw, they're called 4-in-1's.
Deb, sounds like you might have ordered but if not, Pumpkin Batter is a good one.
Hi Yasmine! Thanks! Do you still make soaps? Do you sell? Have any favorite soapers?
No I don't sell anymore. But I enjoy Missouri River Soap, Nature's Art Homemade.
I enjoy Missouri River too. Beautiful, great soap. Deb enjoys Nature's Art too. I keep meaning to try them. Thank you Yasmine!
It is a pleasantly creepy smell. I NEED to watch Sleepy Hallow and a million other shows. Hoping Santa brings a new TV so I can get Netflix and be plugged in to some sweet shows.
Yes! You are my glitter girl <3 I love sparklies too!!!!
Butting in here to say that I love Sleepy Hollow. I saw something hinting that Crane might be doing yoga in tonight's episode. I gotta see that!!!!
Aaahhhh! What station does it come on? Can I hop in mid stride!!??
Sleepy Hollow comes on FOX.. couldnt tell you what day, i just watch for my Hulu button to say "new show!" lol. I would watch starting at Season 1.. or else you're going to be very lost.. plus you'll miss all the "NO WAY!" moments! i love this show because i cant predict whats going to happen next!
Deb, yoga!?!?! oh my goodness... i cant wait to watch!! Crane is totally swoon worthy!
Oh I've heard good things about Sleepy Hollow, but I haven't watched it yet!!
It is a strange sensation! But I am overall, happy with the experience. Going to read scent descriptions next time for sure!
She has great stuff! Can't wait to see your haul!! I ended up grabbing a 4-in-1 and a sugar scrub. The sugar scrub is Where's My Pie. Woot!

Blue Jays: How Marcus Stroman stacks up in the SP trade market
By Chris Henderson

Where does Stroman rank?
If we're trying to figure out where Stroman ranks compared to the rest of the options on this list, that order could be different depending on which front office you're asking. I would bet that teams like the Yankees, who have seen a lot of him over the last few years, or the Braves, who employ Alex Anthopoulos, may see him with higher value than others. Then again, who knows.
If you're asking me, I'd put Stroman in Tier 2 with Minor and Bumgarner, a tick or two below the top tier options that could be available. That list could also grow if the Diamondbacks decided to trade Zack Greinke, or if there was another surprise on the market, but at this stage it's hard to see there being too many surprises.

Of course, value comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay, and it'll be interesting to see how Atkins and the Blue Jays handle trading arguably their most valuable moveable asset. They weren't able to get maximum value for Josh Donaldson when he was injured in the final year of his contract, and so far the return for J.A. Happ (Billy McKinney and Brandon Drury) has been pretty disappointing. Especially because Stroman has an extra year of control and makes his 7.4 million this year, this is an important trade both for their reputation and for the future of this franchise, and they can't afford to mess it up.
The Blue Jays are pretty flush with talented young infielders, and the hope is that they can supplement their system with some additional pitching prospects, and possibly some talent in the outfield as well. There are contenders who have those type of pieces in their minor league systems, it will just be a matter of finding a suitable deal, and one that will work for the Blue Jays and the rest of their talented core that's started to form.
Next. There's more than one kind of change of scenery. dark
It's not a guarantee that Stroman is going to be dealt before the end of the month, but after all of the comments and reports that have floated around the media, it feels like a foregone conclusion. Hopefully the front office can still maximize his value if they do end up pulling the trigger on a deal, and it'll be very interesting to see how the return on that deal compares with other swaps for starting pitchers across the league. Stroman is one of the better options out there, and hopefully he fetches that type of return, if he's dealt at all.

Why is there something in the universe instead of nothing?
What is the nature of the so-called Dark Matter that constitutes some 85% of the matter content of the universe?
These are two questions that each bring together physics on the largest of observable scales with the behavior of particles on the smallest of scales. Why matter formed and what caused it to cluster and form the galaxies and stars that we see in the universe are among the most fundamental open questions in physics today. And the answers may lie in understanding the breakdowns of the Standard Model. In this talk I will discuss the search for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay — a lepton number violating decay that could help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe – and describe the CUORE experiment, a ton scale bolometric detector operating close to absolute zero, which searches for this decay. I will then discuss the axion and its reemergence as a leading contender to explain the Dark Matter abundance. I will then describe a new experimental program that we have started at MIT, in collaboration with UNC, to discover ADM called ABRACADABRA and present the first results from the ABRACADABRA-10 cm prototype.


This period of the year we are all searching for ways to repel ticks. Of course we don't want to use harsh chemicals. Luckily for us, there is natural sweet-smelling alternative proving to be very powerful in the fight against this current and growing concern.
Ticks are using their sense of smell. They don't jump or fall from trees. Instead, they are actually coming and climbing to the top of a blade of plant or grass. They stick their front legs up in the air, waiting for the scent of a victim to walk by. We call their front pair of legs Haller's organs. They detect smell, movement, temperature and carbon dioxide. This is how they know that you are approaching or coming. And since we all known that they like moisture and warmth, they are waiting for a moist or warm environment to call their home. For some reason, the best part about this is that they are not attracted to the scent of rose geranium essential oil.
It is true solution to repel ticks!
Rose geranium oil has two varieties. Pelargonium capitatum x radens is the one with the botanical name . Pelargonium graveolens is the more popular rose geranium oil. It is from the same family, but not the same species.
We need to dilute most essential oils. But rose geranium does not fall into this group if we use it in small doses. You only need few drops to do the job. Simply put one drop on each ankle and on the wrists, one on the back of the neck and a little behind the knees. We all know how dogs are sensitive to smell. Therefore, go easy on the oil when using it. One drop at the top of the base of the tail and behind each shoulder blade. Be careful to avoid the nose and the face because they are very sensitive.
Other essential oils like lemongrass, lavender, eucalyptus, citronella and cedar wood are very helpful if you want to repel ticks and unwanted insects. Before using, please check specific directions to ensure safety for dilution purposes.
Whatever scent you use, take caution and remember to double-check yourself from head to toe after coming in from a summer stroll.
The essential oil of rose geranium is not a mixture of geranium and rose oils. It is one single oil.
Not all essential oils are good for animals, especially not for horses and cats. Before using any essential oil for pets you should consult a veterinary doctor.
