The Water Lady!
June 27, 2008News
We call her Lorraine but many people in Unama'ki know her simply as the "Water Lady." Thanks to Lorraine's hard work, we can rest assured that the water we are drinking is safe, clean, and pure.
For the past six years, every week, Lorraine Marshall, Community Based Water Monitor, is on the road collecting drinking water samples from Wagmatcook, Membertou, Wacobah, and Potlotek. She even works through Christmas and holidays. As she puts it, "bacteria never take vacations!" First stop in Lorraine's busy week is the lab in Eskasoni where she sets the two incubators to 35C. The incubators are used to bring the water samples to a temperature where, if there is bacteria present, it will grow.
Lorraine visits private homes, schools, health centres, apartments, and businesses in the four communities and collects water samples in sterile100ml bottles. After removing any filters and screens from the taps, she runs the water for a couple of minutes before taking her sample. She checks the chlorine content and turbidity (amount of siltation) on site and records the readings. Then it's on to the next sampling site where she does it all over again. Some weeks, Lorraine is able to sample the sixteen sites in a single day, but often, it takes two.
The paperwork involved is stringent. Everything is recorded and double checked. Monitored by Health Canada, there are regular audits where Health Canada collects from the same sampling areas and checks that its results and Lorraine's are the same. Records are always kept up-to-date.
Back in the lab in Eskasoni, the samples are recorded and put into sterile plastic containers that are broken up into small squares. They look like mini ice cube trays! Then it's into the incubator that is set at 35C to mimic the temperature of our stomachs, the temperature that bacteria readily grows.
24 hours later tells the tale. If any of the squares turn yellow, a further test is done where the sample is viewed under blacklight. The colour change indicates that there are total coliforms or fecal coliforms present. Total coliforms could indicate anything organic in the water, including leaves or other debris. Fecal coliform is the presence of animal manure or human waste. That's the stuff Lorraine hopes she'll never find!
If the sample indicates the presence of fecal coliform, an alert is immediately sent to Health Canada. They sample the same site and if the results are the same, they issue an "Unsafe to Drink" order. Following the order, the site is sampled until it returns a clear reading and the order is lifted.
The good news is that, in Lorraine's six years of sampling, there has never been a level that warranted a closure. She proudly says, "We have never had a boil order advisory."
So, the next time you see the Water Lady in your community, you can thank her for making sure that the water you drink is safe and healthy.

« Summer recommendations 2021 | Main | REVIEW: A Cursed Place by Peter Hanington »
Summer holiday book bag
In times past, the reading for a two week holiday required a box to fitted to the roof of the car, in which about six kilograms of hard and paperbacks were installed. These days the Kindle slips comfortably into a back pocket. While I mourn the loss of the beauty of physical books, my aging eyes prefer the Paperwhite, and the danger of finding myself without fresh material has evaporated.
So, following the earlier post of my recommendations for Summer 2021, here's what's on my Kindle:
A Cursed Place by Peter Hanington
In an increasingly unprincipled world, a man of principles is a danger to himself and others. William Carver is one such man - a veteran, irascible, old school journalist working for Radio 4's Today program is a reporter who uses his position to hold the powerful to account. In two previous outings, Hanington, himself a former Today producer, has taken Carver through war-torn Afghanistan and Cairo during the Arab spring. Hanington grapples with big global themes in books that are rich in drama, detail, intrigue and ideas. In A Single Source, his previous novel, Hanington takes two young Eritrean men through the arduous, perilous and demeaning refugee journey from their homeland through the Sahara and across the Mediterranean to Europe. It's a piece of writing that everyone with a view on the refugee crisis should read, and in particular policy makers. It is empathetic, powerful and shocking - a second act in a book crammed with incredible characters and compelling story lines. I can't wait to get tucked into the next installment which takes Carver from Chilean mines to Silicon Valley. Hanington's books are not quite 'spy novels' but they occupy a similar territory to that currently covered by Henry Porter, Mick Herron and Charles Cummings, a space we might call 'post Le Carré', and they are worthy successors.
The Kill by Jane Casey
Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan has become my number one running buddy during 2021. As I (slowly) pound the streets she has become my chosen Audible partner. I love this series for a number of reasons. Firstly, Casey has developed a set of core characters whose appeal broadens each story. They're a little different too. There's a lot of cliché in police fiction, but Casey carefully steers through it to bring more interesting and nuanced characters to life. The dynamic between Kerrigan and her (very odd) boss DI Derwent is particularly interesting. And the storytelling is strong, the narratives dynamic and the dialogue sharp and convincing. In short, the Kerrigan books have everything a series needs to be successful, and I've made it to book five, The Kill, pretty quickly and if I hit my target of 1,250 km by the end of 2021, Maeve will have played her part.
The Royal Secret by Andrew Taylor
The prolific Andrew Taylor has been a feature of my reading list for the best part of 20 years, since the publication of The American Boy, and in 2008 wrote one of this blog's favourite ever books, Bleeding Heart Square. More recently, the 17th Century Marwood and Lovett series has helped to do for the Stuarts what Shardlake has done for the Tudors. Such is the strangeness of the English history curriculum (at least during the 1980s) I managed to leave school knowing little about the 17th Century (beyond fire and plague) that happened after Charles I parted company with his head. So James Marwood, a reluctant court detective, and his occasional (and even more reluctant) partner Cat Lovett have been tremendous guides through the intrigues of the post Restoration monarchy. The series is full of period social detail and political machinations not to mention great mystery storylines. It has matured with age, and I am looking forward to revisiting the sights, sounds and smells of Stuart London in this fifth installment.
Transient Desires by Donna Leon
Is it really a summer holiday if there's no Guido Brunetti novel for the beach? Donna Leon's series has been a constant companion for almost three decades and opening one of these books is like slipping on a much-loved sweater or settling down to comfort food and a glass of Chianti. There's nothing I don't love about these books: the unhurried plots; the excursions into literature, family and gastronomy; the banal evil of Scarpa, the venality of Patta and the goodness of Brunetti; the insights into the delights and horrors of daily life in Venice. It all fits together beautifully with Leon's elegant writing. This, amazingly, is book number 30 which means I've been with Brunetti for longer than I've been with my wife. I should probably celebrate with a grappa...
(Review: Beastly Things by Donna Leon)
On Hampstead Heath by Marika Cobbold
Amanda Craig is on the hook for this recommendation, a tale of journalistic integrity and the search for truth set in the wrong half of London. My days as a journalist are long behind me (I left the trade at about Brunetti book 15) and while there are days I really miss it, I don't envy those still practicing it the newer tyrannies of their trade: the pressure to generate clicks, the never ending deadline demands of social media and the internet, and most of all the moral maze of fake news. This novel promises to delve into all these themes as it follows the latter part of the career of Thorn Marsh who falls out with her employer when she finds its principles don't correspond to her own, and then undermines her own views with a late night filing that bends the truth. If it's good enough for Amanda Craig, it's good enough for me, north London or not.
Daughters of Night by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
A quick fast forward from the Stuarts to the Georgians, and a new novel from Shepherd-Robinson, whose brilliant slave trade debut Blood and Sugar was one of the best books of 2019. "From the pleasure palaces and gin-shops of Covent Garden to the elegant townhouses of Mayfair, Laura Shepherd-Robinson's Daughters of Night follows Caroline Corsham as she seeks justice for a murdered woman whom London society would rather forget . . ." So reads the synopsis, and really, who could resist? The best historical fiction resonates through the ages and speaks to our own situation. Blood and Sugar did this brilliantly, and I have very high expectations for a novel that has drawn rave reviews.
La Cara Norte del Corazón por Dolores Redondo
Every year I take at least one book to the beach that I am highly unlikely to read. Last year, it was How to Be A Stoic, this year it is Dolores Redondo's The North Face of the Heart, in its original Spanish. I haven't read a book in a language that is not English since I was a 17-year-old A Level student misunderstanding Raymond Radiguet's The Devil in the Flesh. But this marks a moment of progress. Eight years I've been living in Spain, but only now have my pitiful attempts to learn Spanish delivered me to a point where I even contemplate reading a novel. But the spirit is willing. I loved Redondo's Baztan mystery trilogy, set in the mists of Navarra and her tough Pamplona detective, Amaia Salazar. This is something of an origins story, taking Salazar back to her earlier career and a placement at the FBI Academy, which results in her visiting New Orleans at about the same time as Hurricane Karina. Doubtless this book will outlast the summer, but I will finish it.

Q: AFRACT`s Error Message (#VALUE!) to JON49`s to How do I convert hh:mm:ss.000 to milliseconds in Excel? Apologies for opening a thread instead of posting comment on the Return-of-the-Archons Thread but i am not allowed to post anything since i do not have 50 reputation. I have the very same problem as AFRACT in How do I convert hh:mm:ss.000 to milliseconds in Excel?
Like probably AFRACT my data is in timestamp: 00:00:00.000 and is generated by a device to measure physiological data (heartrate, EDA, Skin Temp) and i want it to change to total seconds.miliseconds. I tried what JON49 proposed but got the (#VALUE!) Error, and then with timevalue, i got the (NAME!) Error. I have Excel 2016 and I am in Middle Europe (Germany)

A: A date is simply 1 for every day past 31-Dec-1899. Time is a decimal portion of a day; e.g. today is 42,800 and today at noon is 42,800.5. A true second is 0.0000115740740740741
If you want the seconds as integers with the milliseconds as decimal portion of 1 then multiply your true time value by 86,400 (i.e. 60*60*24) and format the cell as a number with three decimal places; e.g. 0.000.

If you want the time as a true time value then simply use a custom number format of [s].000. In the above image, C1 holds =A1 and is formatted as [s].000.

Francis Hopkinson to Robert Bremner
Philadelphia, 28 Nov. 1783. "Mr. Jefferson of Virginia" having consulted Hopkinson "respecting the Importation of a Harpsichord for his Daughter," the matter is referred to Bremner's judgment and care. "He wishes to have an Instrument of the very best kind—a double Harpsichord with Merlin's forte-piano Stop and such other modern Improvements as you may think advantageous … also all necessary Apparatus viz. a Set of Strings, a tuning Hammer, a tuning fork &c. &c. as you shall judge proper. Mr. Jefferson will write to you himself on the Subject giving directions how the Case shall be address'd," &c. "You will oblige me much by your attention in seeing that Mr. Jefferson is well served on this Occasion."
RC (MHi); addressed: "Mr. Robert Bremner Opposite to Sommerset House in the Strand London." This letter was no doubt sent to TJ (perhaps as an enclosure in an unidentified letter from Hopkinson) to be forwarded in one of his own to Bremner; but it was evidently never forwarded to London. TJ acknowledged receipt of it in his to Hopkinson of 23 Dec. 1783.

5 Top Indian Actors Who Are Also Entrepreneurs

By: Radhakrishna NS
MOST of us believe that movie stars only earn their money through acting and movie projects. But contrary to this popular belief, many well-known actors and actresses have other ways of making money. Here is a list of top five actors and actresses who are also successful entrepreneurs.
SRK is not only one of the finest actors in Bollywood, but he is also a very brilliant investor at the same time. King Khan is the co-chairman of the motion picture production company Red Chillies Entertainment and its subsidiaries.
His production company produces films and its VFX division offers VFX and animation services to other production houses and filmmakers. He is also the co-owner of IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders along with Juhi Chawla and her spouse Jay Mehta. He has invested in a number of other successful business ventures as well.
Suneil Shetty
Suniel Shetty first ventured into the business of fitness and opened many gyms across India. Suniel Shetty also owns a film production house called Popcorn Entertainment, which has produced a string of films like Khel (2003), Rakht (2004), Bhagam Bhag (2006), MissionIstanbul (2008), EMI (2008) and Loot (2011).
Suniel is also the owner of Mischief, a chain of boutiques. Not just that, the actor also runs several restaurants specialising in Udupi cuisine. He has even ventured into luxury real estate projects through his company S2 Reality. Suniel is a television presenter also. He is said to have a 50 per cent stake in Hakim Aalim's salons.
Shilpa Shetty is the owner of a club called 'Royalty Club' in Mumbai which is styled in a mix of European renaissance and India royalty. She is the co-owner of one of the IPL teams 'Rajasthan Royals'. She has launched a perfume, a fitness DVD and also became a partner of the IOSIS chain of spas in Mumbai. She has also made investments into several real estate projects.
Twinkle Khanna
Twinkle Khanna runs a successful candle business with her mother Dimple Kapadia. She co-owns the award-winning interior design store The White Window and has also designed homes of the rich and famous. She is an author also. Her debut novel Mrs Funnybones came out in August 2015 sold more than one lakh copies across the world, making Twinkle India's highest-selling female writer of 2015.
She wrote her second book titled The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. She is also a film producer. She has set up her own production house called Mrs Funnybones and produced the very first movie named Padman in which her husband Akshay Kumar played the lead role.
Not only he is one of Bollywood's most celebrated superstars and enjoys one of the biggest fan following in Hindi cinema, but the noted actor is also a successful entrepreneur. He owns a production house and distribution company, Salman Khan Films, which was established in 2014.
He has also invested in travel website Yatra.com and has five per cent stakes which he had brought for an undisclosed amount. Salman is involved in charities and owns the Being Human clothing brand. His merchandise has exclusive retail stores and is also available on various e-commerce sites such as Myntra, Flipkart and Snapdeal. A percentage of share from the sales go to 'Being Human' charity.

I've eaten several flowers of the Dendrobium orchid hybrid Johnathan's Glory, Dark Joy and the Australian species Dendrobium kingianum. I tried Dark Joy because it was the closest to a Dendrobium bigibbum I could find, which is sold in America as an edible flower/garnish (1). I understand this hybrid is only around 12% Dendrobium bigibbum (the rest being Dendrobium kingianum, tetraganum & falcurostrum whose flowers do not seem to be reported edible (or toxic)).
Both are soft and crunchy, easy to chew and swallow, both taste rather weakly like glue or gum, a bit like some craft beer, the hybrid "Dark Joy" was also slightly bitter. Would not add much positive to a meal except ornament (raw at least, became bland in flavor after boiling but seemed to become extremely soft, almost disintegrating. I did not have a very big sample to work with, will have to try this again next time they flower). Would probably not ruin a salad added raw in small amounts. If this flavor is typical of orchid flowers it might explain why they are not eaten much: they are not really bad tasting, but not generally good enough to become established in traditional food culture. Given their exceptional beauty perhaps people generally decide it makes more sense to look at them or use them for religious purposes than eat them.
I felt comfortable sampling this because there does not appear to be any specific record of any orchid flowers being toxic, though only a tiny percentage of the thousands of species are reported to be eaten by humans. There are a few claims on the net that all orchid flowers can be eaten safely, but it is likely not all species and varieties have been sampled.
Lawler's report on orchid toxicity suggests a very small percentage of the vast number of orchids that exist are toxic to humans. He lists only eye irritation from seed of one Cymbidium, contact dermatitis from various Cypripedium and reports of Disa chrysostachya and a Eulophia supposedly being used deliberately as human poisons in Africa. However several Cypripedium, an Epipdendrum an Oncidium and one Spathoglottis species might be narcotic (there are also reports of pollinating insects becoming intoxicated by exudation of flowers but I wondered if this is simply because of fermentation). Cypripedium spectabile, Orchis latifolia and laxiflora are avoided by cattle while Bletia verecunda, hyacinthina, Calathe discolor, Dipodium puntatum, Eulophia virens, Microtis parviflora and Thecostele poilanei are either toxic or suspected of being toxic to animals (2).
I feel very confident exploring flavors of common orchid genus like Dendrobium that lack any toxicity reports and are often used medicinally (as tonics for instance), and will be doing more of it (without eating large quantities, which is unlikely anyway give the taste so far). The beautiful and alluring Paphilopedilum is one genus I will be much more careful with as it has (apparently only very recently) been reported to include some serious toxicity used locally as an animal poison (3), this refers to the whole plant, possibly including the flowers.
The main question for me with apparently non-toxic genus like Dendrobium is whether they are soft enough to eat, several I've tried are not. I emphasize I am not in a position to recommend anyone else experiment like this. I am not an orchid or toxicology expert, rather an experienced unusual edibles enthusiast/addict (who has had the odd culinary mishap in the past, such as tingling, prickly and numb sensations in the mouth from chewing but not swallowing).

it's used as a boolean property. Can some clarify what actually is cancelBubble, a method or property.

To begin with, this is mainly focusing on petition sites.
Petitions rarely achieve anything on their own, however many the signatures - in particular in jurisdictions like the EU. Politicians, and the media, react more to visible action like street protests, installations, concerts, and the like.
That said, there are other advantages to petitions. They can have more information and links about the issue involved, the instigators may organize other activities with those who sign or simply keep them informed on the issues, and it may allow for general communication between those interested, depending on the set-up.
Also see the Resource Links page for more or overlapping links on the topic, overlapping when the sites are of interest beyond campaigns or petitions.
International group with writers, lighting designers, researchers, film-makers, politicians and others interested in the incandescent light bulb issue.
Directly linked to English versions and to "Light Bulb" search when possible, or use search box on the page linked. Alternatively can set to Google site search for light bulb (site:PetitionSite.org "light bulb" etc).
Some of the results listed in the later section.
You can set your own search, often lots of petition pages, some more relevant than others.
Only the sites with any likely search results are listed.
>> to a petition (signing) by the Irlen association, who as linked cater for light sensitivity sufferers amongst others.
>> to a migraine sufferers petition, launched by Diana Lee, editor of Somebody Heal Me.
Also behind a SignOn site petition.
The LBC website also has letter writing section, a forum and much else - new sections/links being added shortly.
Associated with the above site and with some posts in parallell with this blog, invites people who are unhappy with them to send their fluorescent bulbs to Congress representatives, with instructions on how to do it!
Well known lighting designer and Congress consultant on lighting policies.
Has set up an informatory page section which includes petition mailing, with suggested letter templates:.doc format, .odt format.
Homepage includes petition mailing. Launched with a bang a year or two ago but, as tends to happen, has gone very quiet.
A point in favor is backing resources, it's run by Freedom Action which in turn seems to have conservative think tank / action committee backing, or the like.
Has ancillary services like blog and Facebook page.
Conservative organisation with a petition as part of a Congressional Rep mailform.
One of the petitions as mentioned on the Ipetitions.com site. Based on citizens' right to choose since banning incandescents saves comparatively little energy.
From the Change.org petition sites, a petition (assumed American) based on oppsition to fluorescent lighting.
Has delayed a ban by at least 2 years so the campaigns are understandably inactive.
Has petition against the ban based mainly on CFL problems.
certain numbers, and after EU decision some were closed anyway.
(the old petitions.pm.gov.uk seems to have closed).
5 relevant petitions listed at time of writing (interestingly, one can also see the 7 closed and 3 rejected petitions from the top heading).
The current main one by Anne McDonnell closing 2nd November 2012, petition text is based on opposition to fluorescent bulbs.
Organisation campaigning for those with light sensitivity problems.
The site includes a questionnaire, in working with Sheila Gilmore MP to define the problems more exactly for parliament and government.
Has a well updated list with explanatory text: Petitions listed are summarized below, German origin unless otherwise specified.
Based on incandescent advantages compared to fluorescent and LED replacements.
Has background information and links.
Also has a debate page and background information.
Based on freedom of choice given little society savings from a ban, from the Partei der Vernunft, the Sensible Party.
Has a supporting webpage with more information and comment facility.
Based on both replacement light problems and the small overall saving from a ban.
Against fluorescent lamps and lamp manufacturers profiting from a ban at the expense of consumers.
Bilingual petition, on avaaz.org petition site.
Citing the lack of overall energy savings (heat replacement etc), incandescent advantages, replacement light problems and unnecessary manufacturer profiting.
Painter Georg Baselitz, designer Ingo Maurer and around 100 other renowned artists, designers and architects campaign... as translated on Save the Bulb site from Neue Westfälische paper, article source unknown.
Munich light designer Ingo Maurer has been particularly involved (video) with various campaigns, installations, and actions, for example his "condom" protest as also covered on this blog.
Check Swedish links on Greenwashing Lamps site for other possibilities.
Naminsamling.se petition site has 3 petitions listed as this is written.
Old site but still active, has background information with links to more and commenting.
Opposition is based on small overall savings, incandescent advantages, disadvantages with other choices, as also on the petition page.
Petition list and comment possibility.
Similar to above, with petition list and comment possibility.
Reasons given are the incandescent advantages, the inadequate replacements, and the small overall savings.
"Save the incandescent bulb" site, extensive with intermittent blog posts, background information, links, and a petition page.
Set up by "Human Lights Watch", as seen a coalition of Dutch lighting designers (and related).
They have a special page in English explaining their action and aims.
Appeal for the listed reasons by Mario Nanni, electrician, lighting designer and Bologna university teacher, also active in London and Barcelona. Petition sign (Italian - English).
This will gradually be updated by myself and others who help with this.
Also, see other lists, for example on Gluehbirne.ist.org and Greenwashing Lamps, currently with German and Swedish ones but which may expand. Most of their particular links should appear here also, but others may of course appear.
Note that for most petitions, anyone can sign, see however the "About" section below for more as regards to how the EU authorities interpret petitions.
Otherwise an online search under "light bulb" and "petition" together with country name or language may yield an appropriate petition to sign, and anti-ban campaign to be involved in.
With the EU ban finalizing, a federal USA ban starting, and bans or "phase-outs"
in several other countries, one way to protest is obviously to sign petitions.
Petitions as a political instrument are a bit of a double edged sword.
Where they get few signatures, it may suggest a lack of public resistance, or even suggest a general public support for regulations.
The EU authorities have already made it clear in their much vaunted "Citizens Initiative"
The European Citizens Initiative will allow 1 million citizens from at least one quarter of the EU Member States to invite the European Commission to bring forward proposals for legal acts in areas where the Commission has the power to do so.
The organisers of a citizens' initiative, a citizens' committee composed of at least 7 EU citizens who are resident in at least 7 different Member States, will have 1 year to collect the necessary statements of support. The number of statements of support has to be certified by the competent authorities in the Member States. The Commission will then have 3 months to examine the initiative and decide how to act on it.
As seen the rigorous conditions and all the data required (name, address, place and date of birth, passport number or identity card number etc for the signatures) it makes it next to impossible to carry out.
That said, local country petitions can of course also send a message to local leaders, who might in turn influence the European Commission.
That not being so realistic, it at least allows people some outlet to voice their objections, and, as mentioned, for the petition organizers to organize other activities with those who signed, and/or allow for general inter-communication.
The last point of course applies to petitions in federal USA, local American states, and other jurisdictions also.
The more locally made the legislation, the more easy the communication with legislators, and the fewer the signatures required, in a relative comparison.


after the last update of OSX.
I start my Windows 10 virtual machine on Fusion 10, at the beginning it work correctly then, after a while, I get Unidentified Network error message in the windows network adapter.
The error persist to the a simple windows restart operation.
The only way to solve the problem is to completely quit of fusion program, at the next start the network works fine for a while.
I use wifi in my Mac machine and the network configuration on fusion is the default "Shared with my Mac".
before the update I used HighSierra 10.13.1 and everything worked fine.
I am having the same problem after upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.2 today. Networking is broken for all of my 10.0.1 guest VMs (linux and windows).
If relevant I use a wired network and I always use Bridged Networking here at work and at home. I've not had any issues with the 10.13.2 high sierra update. Also running Fusion 10.0.1. Both Windows 10 and Windows 7 VM's are working fine.
Occasionally at a customer site I need to use wireless (on the Mac) and I then need to use NAT for the VM network if I want access to the Internet. I think this is more likely to be with how the customer configures their wireless network though.
Switching from wireless to wired did the trick but it would be nice to have better understanding of why (and better yet a solution for) why wireless no longer works?
Any update? I am dead in the water and I don't have the option to plug in or use bridging as that would not be allowed in our environment. Please Help!
I found a work around as the issue appears to be caused by DHCP not working anymore. If you assign a static IP address to the vdi it works fine. To find the range you can follow these instructions to get the information. Hopefully they fix this soon..
Important: My VM's name is actually "Windows 8 x64" so in the dhcpd.conf file you must refer to it with no spaces in the name, so Windows8x64.
Important: You must allocate an IP address that is outside the range defined inside the DO NOT MODIFY SECTION section. My range was set to range 192.168.167.128 192.168.167.254 so I can allocate any address under 192.168.167.128 (which means 192.168.167.1 to 192.168.167.127 are available).
Can you clarify what Step 1 is? I tried setting the IPv4 address inside the WIn10 VM to the same IP as the config as well as having it obtain automatically and both didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, switching to wired connection enabled my guest VMs to work again. Soon after that I tried going back to wireless connection and that is now also working (don't ask me why).
I wonder if this is related to my NAT/Bridged WIn10/WIn7 problem. All of my Win10 VM's no longer work with NAT but do with bridged, but my WIn7 VM's still work with NAT. Very very strange.
There is no step 1, I just pull those instructions on how to access what the dhcp configuration should be. You have to statically assign the client an ip from the range and use the router and dns information in that file. This is what I configured my computer to..
Its not the NAT that is not working, its the dhcp assignments are not happening. If you statically assign the ip info NAT works fine.
This worked because your wired connection was able to push a dhcp address to your vm and when you switched to wireless it continued to use that ip. If you restart on wireless you may run into this issue unless apple or Vmware fix the dhcp issue.
I've just uninstalled and installed Fusion again and the Network adapter (in NAT mode) come back to work again.
for example i had answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 172.16.195.0 which you can try to change VNET_8_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 172.16.194.0 etc. and then run the three commands.
We have this issue as well on all our systems that have upgraded. The DHCP stops working and the vm has to be stopped, vmware ended and restarted in order to get it working again. It happens randomly but could also be connected to when OSX goes into suspend.

I may not be the best person to be advising folks on how to raise kids, as I don't have any of my own, but I do want to pass along a suggestion to parents or soon to be parents.
During some recent conversations (and many past conversations), it seems that many parents really stifle their children's experiences while growing up, and I don't get it.
Although I lived a far from perfect childhood (read I was in the middle of an ugly 6yr divorce/custody battle), and I never had a lot of money, my family always made sure that my brothers and I lived a childhood of experiences.
What brings this up is conversations while riding, or talking about riding and I would say, "just like that feeling of doing "XYZ" as a kid." Which is often met with, "I never did that as a kid."
I know, get to the point Jay! I'm talking about experiences like riding bikes, playing sports, swimming, hiking, etc.
Since I am into cycling so much now, you can see how I may get into a conversation like, I wish I could jump my bike like when I was a kid, or when someone asks, what are you thinking when you take a turn that fast? My reply, "I'm thinking that it feels just like when I was 10 and riding at Possums Track.
That feeling of speed, the little bit of g-force that tugs on you as you hug the turn, that millisecond feeling of feeling weightless while soaring my bike in the air off that makeshift wooden jump that usually fell apart after each launch!
My point is that while some others did the same things I did, many seemed to have not done so and that is incredibly sad.
If I didn't have these fond memories of my childhood, I'd most likely wouldn't have the same connection that I do with cycling today! This is one reason that I use this avatar, it reminds me most of how cycling makes me feel today, and how much of the kid is still in me.
I have such a hard time comprehending that kids grow up into adults never knowing how to bike, swim, play baseball, etc.
But most of all, I can't imagine what it would be like to be 37 30 years from now and my only memories were of playing video games or watching TV.
And I can almost promise you that if you get the go out and play, and become involved in sports, etc; your little ones won't grow up needing medicine for Restless Leg Syndrome!


You probably don't know who John Portman was. But, you've almost certainly walked through one of his creations. John Portman is credited with creating the modern, open-air design we see in many buildings. Specifically, many of the atrium hotels built with glass elevators.
I never thought about elevators that way. But, he's right. I do mostly look at my shoes in a closed-in elevator. When I'm with my family, I watch my kids "ooh" and "aah" as the glass elevator rises quickly through dozens of floors of open space.
The passing of John Portman will likely be a quiet one for most of the world. Many folks will walk through his buildings today without realizing who he was. Time moves on. Designs change. Still, I imagine we'll see the influence of John Portman in architectural designs for years to come.
Good article, Ric. Thanks for sending that along!

Intelligent machinery and manufacturing are key to industrial upgrade of Taiwan or even the world. Ministry of Science of Technology, Taiwan (MOST); Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI) join forces to facilitate exchange of information between the industry and academia, and integrate 6 Global Research & Industry Alliance (GLORIA) projects to organize the "Intelligent Manufacturing Innovative Application Forum" at Taipei International Machine Tool Show, where observations on technology and trends of intelligent manufacturing, precision metrology, system control, to platform integration, will be presented to explore for enterprises new upgrade opportunities of intelligent manufacturing.
The forum will first feature Chair Professor Jyh-Horng Chou, who is also the Vice President of National Chung Hsing University, to share observations on challenges and trends of recent global development of the machinery industry, hoping domestic machinery industry can strengthen collaboration with the academia and enhance international competitiveness through interdisciplinary development.
Professor Fan-TienCheng of National Cheng Kung University will give a presentation on "Intelligent Manufacturing and Industry 4.1," exploring how Automatic Virtual Metrology (AVM) can be integrated with AMCoT for different practical applications in various domains. Since a large number of composite materials have been developed in response to commercial needs, Professor Jenq-Shyong Chen of National Chung Hsing University will share on how to utilize supersonic for precision processing of such types of advanced materials; extensive automatic operations require entering a large amount of reference data in advance, and the KORAT technology presented by Associate Professor Yung-Pin Cheng of National Central University can assist integrated automatic test across systems to enhance quality control and efficiency of engineering staff. Productivity 4.0 adopts core technologies including Cyber Physical System and business model of new services, and Professor Wang, Shih-Ming of Chung Yuan Christian University will share on user scenarios and possible integrated technologies, offering enterprises more diverse user scenarios and potential solutions.
In addition to the academia sharing technologies and research results, Assistant Manager Sebastian Chen of Taiwan Futaba Electronics Corporation and President Lin Ting-hao of TANGRAM Technology are both representatives of the industry, and they jointly propose the industry's needs for intelligent manufacturing—hoping that the academia can launch studies on the optimization of control and management procedures for customized and high-precision production lines, supporting intelligent upgrade of Taiwanese enterprises.
Deputy Director General Chun-Yi Tu of the Department of Academia-Industry Collaboration and Science Park Affairs points out that MOST is launching GLORIA in universities, and has already established 18 GLORIA projects to date. Gathering the research energy of all the colleges and universities, GLORIA helps bridge demand scenarios of industries with suitable research outcomes to enhance competitiveness in the international market. Outcomes of several academic studies in the areas of precision processing and system integration can already be applied commercially, and GLORIA will continue to match enterprises with appropriate technical teams in the future to facilitate the development of Industry 4.0, and actively explore the blue ocean of Taiwan's intelligent manufacturing and machine tool industries!


ST. LOUIS (AP) — Bond has been set at $1 million for a former St. Louis police officer charged with first-degree murder in a 2011 shooting of a 24-year-old man after a chase.
A St. Louis judge set the bail amount Tuesday for Jason Stockley, who previously had been ordered held without bond.
Prosecutors allege Stockley was on duty when he first fired at Anthony Lamar Smith after police say Stockley witnessed a drug deal. Authorities say that during an ensuing pursuit of Smith's car, Stockley can be heard on his in-car video telling his partner he was "going to kill this (expletive)."
After the police SUV forced Smith's car to stop, prosecutors allege, Shockley approached Smith's car and fired five times into its driver's side. Smith died after being hit by each round.


University and journalism are two parallel worlds, with the same tranformations, the same risks of being gagged and the same role of "conscience-makers". This is the result of the convention that took place in Bologna on September 17th and 18th, during which the Magna Charta Universitatum (a document representing the Universities' "constitution") was also endorsed by a further 30 "new signatory institutions". Nowadays, 501 Universities all around the world have signed the document.
Ethics and the social responsibility of the media and of the universities linked all interventions.Umberto Eco spoke about the university's role in a world dominated by media. He stressed that the media are interested in university problems, while universities churn out communication experts and sociologists, analyse communication mechanisms and offer newspapers many contributors. Universities, however, are in danger when they espouse a media logic that does not belong to them. Then academic disputes turn into a show and the institution adapts to commercial cultural models tempting it to enter the advertising circuit for the recruitment of more students. On the other hand, the university should study the media world to protect society from possible manipulations. These two tasks are closely linked: the analysis of the mass media gives citizens an understanding of information constraints and allows them to react to news with critical ability. More generally, in Eco's opinion, the role of the university in the contemporary world consists in developing society's critical spirit thus allowing for a selection and evaluation of the information produced by media. What to forget in the urgency of the news or the continuity of history is indeed essential to man's survival since the resulting "memory" makes up the identity that justifies mankind's role in the world.
Both a journalist and a university leader, Peter Scott, from Kingston University, compared the potential functions of the university and mass media in the emerging knowledge society, pointing out the changes brought about by two present trends, globalisation and commercialisation. Globalisation, linked to the spectacular way of news presentation, infotainment, questions the meaning of public service in the media while the growing links with the business world place the universities in a similar identity conflict. In Scott's opinion, it is important for both sectors to defend autonomy, but this should take account of the knowledge society's emerging reality by inventing new partnerships meeting the challenges of a world that is both uncertain and complex.
For the university and the media, this means a pro-active role in the building of tomorrow's society - i.e., a strong sense of ethics in order to face the political and economical pressures that lead too often to self-censorship, as pointed in the discussions by Ken Edwards, from Cambridge, and John O'Leary, the editor of The Times Higher Education Supplement.
The weight of external influences on the independence of the journalist or the autonomy of the media was also underlined by Xavier Mas de Xaxas, from La Vanguardia, Barcelona, for whom real and false are less and less distinguishable in the urgency of reporting, thus forcing lying on the press. Reality, however, should be the touching stone for the activities of both the media and the universities, pointed Madalena Queiròs, from Economica, Lisbon, when she compared the professional codes that the 1988 Magna Charta represents for academics and the 1971 Munich Charter for journalists. Indeed, Queiros said, university and journalism are linked by important synergies since they share similar goals, have the same awareness of their social role, refer to the same principles of autonomy and independence, to the same obligation to defend themselves from the interferences of political and economical power.

Marijuana Policy: Can California Shape It for the US?
By Sushree Mohanty
Marijuana reform has always been important in California, which became the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996. In 2016, it legalized recreational marijuana. Many other states have followed suit. Can California shape marijuana policy in the US?
California and marijuana reform
California could soon become the largest legal marijuana market, the Los Angeles Times reports. Citing BDS Analytics data, it reported that legal cannabis sales in California could rise by 23% to $3.1 billion this year, and reach $7.2 billion in 2024.
Since marijuana's legalization, California has explored additional reform to promote medical marijuana. As marijuana could be used therapeutically for conditions such as epilepsy, California's Senate has approved a bill that was challenged by Republican legislators. On August 30, the Los Angeles Times reported the bill would allow parents to bring nonsmoking medical cannabis products to their children.
California's black market sales pose a threat
Despite marijuana's rising legal sales, black market activities still pose a threat. I recently discussed how legal tax revenue generated from the cannabis industry could boost the economy and employment. However, BDS Analytics managing director and principal analyst Tom Adams feels that higher tax in the legal market and regulations have pushed people toward the illegal market.
Due to the black market's growing sales, marijuana's fiscal 2019 excise tax revenue estimate for California has been lowered, to $288 million from $355 million. Additionally, the legal market faces testing expenses.
And it's not just California that's facing black market issues—Oregon faces similar problems. In June, City Journal suggested that Oregon's oversupply could force it to turn to the illegal market.
Challenges for the cannabis industry
I feel this is where marijuana legalization at the federal level comes into the picture. Specifically, federal regulation could keep illicit market activities in check, thereby reducing black market sales. Furthermore, it could generate tax revenue from legal marijuana sales, a boon to the economy.
Other threats to legalization are the current Federal Trade Commission, FDA, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigations into vaping. Health officials are worried that vaping devices could contain tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of marijuana. The FBI is also investigating corruption in the cannabis industry.
Where are other states with marijuana reform?
Currently, recreational marijuana is legal in 11 states and Washington, DC, and medical marijuana is legal in 22 states. Washington, which has always been straightforward with its marijuana laws, plans to revamp them. And Colorado, which legalized cannabis in 2014, has generated more than $1 billion in revenue from the legal marijuana industry. In contrast, Texas seems unlikely to turn to full legalization, as it's always been strict about cannabis.
Trump's stance on marijuana legalization
Whereas Donald Trump has never clearly discussed cannabis legalization, I feel it will be a key topic in his re-election campaign. We know Trump isn't a fan of California.
In March, Vox discussed how Trump's Justice Department may have been opposing cannabis research. Vox reported that California-based Biopharmaceutical Research was facing issues with gaining federal approval for producing high-quality marijuana for research. However, the White House seems to now be warming up to marijuana legalization, with two officials supporting it.
Hemp's popularity among cannabis players
Cannabis and California have a long history. California produced massive amounts of hemp in 1807, and recently, hemp has gained popularity among cannabis players. Many are trying to expand their hemp business.
After the federal Farm Bill was passed in 2018, hemp cultivation became easier, and so did the hemp business. Additionally, many states have legalized hemp. Therefore, many cannabis players are trying to cash in on the hemp business.
To strengthen its presence in the US market, Canopy Growth (CGC) (WEED) is expanding and plans to open a New York hemp-growing facility. Earlier, it acquired AgriNext USA to advance its hemp business and boost profits. However, it missed analysts' fiscal 2020 first-quarter estimates, pulling down its stock. The stock fell 27% in August and has fallen 12.2% YTD (year-to-date).
Tilray (TLRY), which also reported major losses in its recent quarter, is trying to expand in hemp, which could boost profits. It fell 37% in August and has fallen 63% YTD.
Major player Aurora Cannabis (ACB) is also developing hemp-based products, and has acquired Hempco Food and Fiber's outstanding common shares. We'll know more about its hemp business when it releases its quarterly results this month. It has already increased its revenue guidance for the quarter. The stock fell 12% in August and has risen 12.2% YTD. Stay tuned for more insights on the cannabis industry.

Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020
smiledirectclubreview / By MattressTeacher
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her leading and bottom teeth was available in the mail. McKinney is working through the series slowly, switching the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It'll take about 9 months in all. However after 3 months of wearing these trays nearly every day and night, McKinney is delighted about flaunting her new smile (Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside among SmileDirectClub's New York City places. SmileDirectClub's business model seems working. Align Innovation– the company that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect's main competitor– invested $46.7 million to become SmileDirect's special supplier in 2015, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own a total of 19% of the business.
Meanwhile, lookalikes have launched with similar services: Orthly, launched by two University of Pennsylvania trainees, now uses services to consumers in Philadelphia, and Candid Co. launched in New York this summer season. A SmileDirect consumer can be matched with one of 225 associated dental practitioners or orthodontists in all 50 states. These dental professionals remotely review client cases and after that develop the aligners that SmileDirect sends out in the mail.
The company decreased to name any of the doctor within its network, and would not supply information about its monetary relationships with them. "Basically they are gathering payments and paying us marketing costs," Fenkell stated."I believe that claim is rather bogus," AAO's general counsel Dillard said. "The customers don't even see a dental practitioner.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star ranking on Yelp.) And many expert dental practitioners are alarmed that customers never ever see a licensed medical professional prior to or throughout their treatment."It blew my mind," Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, told BuzzFeed News. Like normal orthodontists, SmileDirect's dental practitioners base their prescriptions on computer system simulations of mouth scans.
"The teeth do not move biologically like they do on the computer system," Stubbs stated. Among her patients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect consumer whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham told BuzzFeed News she spent a week attempting– and failing– to speak with a SmileDirect dental practitioner on the phone, then went to Stubbs for assistance."They were bleeding, they were cut to the root," Burnham said.
"I was appalled."A SmileDirect agent informed BuzzFeed News by email that company-affiliated dental practitioners "track the client's progress throughout treatment at routine periods."The business "helps with the interactions" of customers and dental companies, the representative stated. "Oral service providers interact directly with patients through the consumer portal and by means of SMS or phone when proper or suggested."In a YouTube video that's been viewed over 21,000 times because June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller cautioned people away from the service, stating that no orthodontist would ever prescribe aligners without very first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was removed after this story published.)Grant Olson, a dental expert in Springfield, Missouri, told BuzzFeed News that the company's product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is deceiving. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can enhance by sticking unique accessories on a tooth, SmileDirect's product is limited to really slight corrections: The aligners can fix a tilt, but can't move a tooth's orientation or position together with its root.
He described that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists only authorize cases that are suitable for a remote assessment and do not require follow-up dental sees (Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020). Laws for dentists differ across states, but there are some typical themes in the 36 grievances sent by the AAO: Some states consider making impressions and providing retainers to be the role of a certified doctor, but SmileDirectClub normally supplies those services.
AAO general counsel Dillard likewise informed BuzzFeed News that the company's business model incentivizes dentists connected with SmileDirect to prescribe the trays even if they aren't necessary. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the company hasn't drew in the attention of regulators yet, customer grievances abound online. TL; DR: Prepare for a bumpy flight.
The large majority of clients in these groups resign themselves to handling the snags since there are just no other choices (Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020)."If you can be client, want an affordable strategy, SDC IS the proper way to go! Having a favorable mindset and being patient goes a LONG method," Melanie Masso composed to BuzzFeed News.
For many other clients, the ride is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick informed BuzzFeed News that at the end of practically a year of treatment, the aligners have actually destroyed her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact (Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020). "I'm pretty annoyed– food is difficult to chew now and they won't fix it!"Gulick said that after grievances to the company, SmileDirectClub concurred to continue treatment free of charge.
When inquired about grievances that the trays ruined consumers' bites, a SmileDirect representative informed BuzzFeed News: "Over 95% of our consumers total treatment and accept their finished new smile. It is necessary to keep in mind that with any orthodontic treatment, bites will continue to shift till the treatment is completed."Another client, 24-year-old Drexel University student Kacie Durham, informed BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look even worse."It in fact made my teeth appear more crooked at the bottom," she stated.
Durham returned her trays and applied for a refund. Later on, an orthodontist not affiliated with the company informed her that her teeth would need to be filed and formed prior to they could be lined up. Durham felt duped: SmileDirect had actually authorized her for a treatment that would never have actually worked."If a prospective consumer is unhappy with the 3d sneak peek of his/her smile, there is no obligation to buy aligners," the SmileDirectClub agent said (Smile Direct Club Outlet Discount Code April 2020).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, signed up with one of the greatest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Support, after two of her clients asked about the product. In browsing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler stated that she's not seen anybody say they have actually been able to speak with a dentist at the business.
"You're asking someone who has no oral background, 'Is this going to work?'"More than once, Tendler has actually stopped short of replying to threads on the online forum. She sits on her hands because the patients are not hers. "I'm looking at the images and thinking, Oh my god, you need to get teeth gotten, don't do it."Mostly, she is worried that people who are charmed by SmileDirectClub's low cost aren't completely familiar with the drawbacks of skipping a dental visit.
A previous version of this short article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Technology owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous variation of this story specified it was 17%. Also, SmileDirectClub began operating in North Carolina in early October. A previous variation of this story, based upon an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, stated that the business was not operating in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners may look like a good alternative for a small fix. However remember you're not the expert on how very little a repair your teeth need. "It's tough to go from something that's 90% good to make it 100% perfect; in my experience, I discover that these are the more difficult cases," Dr.
The outcomes of utilizing unnoticeable aligners can be extremely unpredictable, due to the fact that some people respond well to them and others won't. "It's really difficult to monitor this by yourself, because– like whatever in medicine– not everyone responds the exact same," he states. The real difficulty includes finding out how to correct your smile if you're not responding properly to the retainers, he says.

Transmission electron microscopy has proven to be a powerful tool to measure composition, chemistry and internal structure at the nanoscale and below. The two transformative developments in electron microscopy in the last two decades are (1) the emergence of aberration-corrected lenses that allow for unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution and (2) the rapid advances in in situ capabilities for observations of dynamic phenomena.
heterogeneous catalysis, which depends sensitively on the nano-sized 3-dimensional structural habits of nanoparticles (NPs) and their physicochemical structural sensitivity to the environment. My focus is on the development of integrated characterization and modeling tools and their applications appropriate for carrying out detailed studies on metallic nanoparticles (NPs) comprised of a few to as many as 100 metal atoms. The structures of small metal NPs do not behave like atoms or bulk material. For example, we have shown that Pt NPs may be both ordered and disordered, depending on its size, support and adsorbates. A statistical description of nanoparticles is more appropriate in understanding structure/property of nanoparticles and their surface reactions.

School Life in Berlin during the Nazi Era
Following her high school student teaching, Elisabeth Schmitz taught religion, history and German at different schools in Berlin for six years. In 1929, she was hired as a high school teacher at the Luisenschule in Berlin-Mitte. This appeared to secure her future professionally and financially.
After 1933, Schmitz witnessed how Jewish and politically undesirable teachers were pressured out of the teaching profession. The Social Democratic principal at her school also had to step down from his position. Jewish students left the school. Schmitz's critical attitude toward National Socialism landed her in a conflict with the new principal and she had herself transferred to Auguste Sprengel School in Berlin-Lankwitz in 1935.
Schmitz refused to join the National Socialist Teachers' Association, the sole organization for teachers in the "Third Reich". She regretted joining die National Socialist People's Welfare, to which she had been pressured in 1937, one year later because membership in any Nazi organization was ultimately untenable for a Christian since they were all based on Nazi weltanschauung. She wished that the Confessing Church would declare that its members could not join any Nazi organization.
Schmitz was caught in moral conflicts in her German and history class with increasing frequency. Teaching truthfulness, personal responsibility, objectivity, humanitarianism was becoming increasingly impossible in the atmosphere of subordination, of hatred, of racial arrogance and idolatry of one's own nation, she wrote on March 5, 1947, describing her professional situation at that time (Erhart, Staritz, p. 265).
Her moral dilemmas worsened when the new curricula of January 29, 1938 proclaimed the goal of education to be the National Socialist being. Thus, the life of the Christian teacher in Germany was an impossible life for her (letter to Charlotte von Kirschbaum of July 17, 1938). A "non-Aryan" female colleague with whom she was friends took her own life in this bleak situation.

The well of being: Childhood, subjectivity, and education
David Kennedy
Educational Foundations
In this wide-ranging work, David Kennedy undertakes a philosophically grounded analysis of the history of childhood, the history of adulthood, and their interrelationship. Using themes and perspectives from the history of childhood, mythology, psychoanalysis, art, literature, philosophy, and education, the author locates the experience of childhood across all stages of the human life cycle, and thereby weighs its transformative potential for human culture. He offers a nuanced approach to child study that raises issues about how adults see children and how children see themselves, which could lead to a qualitatively different system of teacher preparation-a system that views the child as participant rather than object in the structure of social reproduction. This sweeping review of conceptions of and approaches to childhood yields a profound vision of what schooling should be like.

Grimes Announces Visions 10th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue
In collaboration with Vinyl Me, Please
Grimes, photo by John Londono
Carys Anderson
January 20, 2022 | 12:12pm ET
It's hard to believe Grimes has been around long enough to get the reissue treatment, but as her breakthrough album Visions turns 10, a new vinyl package is on the way. Today the singer announced Vinyl Me, Please would reissue Visions and make the album its February Essentials Record of the Month.
Before she dated Elon Musk and became the self-appointed spokesperson for artificial intelligence, Grimes (born Claire Boucher) was a relatively unknown Canadian artist recording experimental synth pop. On January 31st, 2012, however, she released her third studio album, Visions, on renowned indie label 4AD. With the help of single/perfect song "Oblivion," it proved the first step in cementing her place as an endlessly fascinating public figure.
Grimes looked back on Visions with clarity, remembering the process of writing opening track "Infinite Love Without Fulfilment." "Wow, I can hear myself learning how to make music in this song," she said. "I remember doing the vocal over the drums and then randomly trying that baseline and being like whoa! And kinda spiraling into this experiment."
Vinyl Me, Please's Visions reissue will be available on 180g magenta and green galaxy vinyl, and comes with an exclusive art print by Grimes, as well a new track-by-track breakdown of the album written by the artist herself. You can purchase the reissue here.
Grimes' next album will be called Book 1. She recently shared the single "Player of Games," as well as the track "A Drug from God" that she (I mean, NPC) recorded with Chris Lake. There's no release date for Book 1 yet, but Grimes recently said she'd be changing her "day job" following its release.

Eternal Dopeness was created to promote self expression and the mindset of accepting your dope self. What is eternal dopeness? It's an expression that means forever cool. How do you become eternally dope? By accepting yourself and simply being you. When you wear an Eternal Dopeness shirt you become eternally dope and you gain that confidence to do whatever the f*@k you want to be.
These people have strong personalities but at times self doubt captures them. They need an example to live by for those times. They have a peculiar way of fashion and their look is original. They have a yearning to break the rules and be themselves but need an extra push of inner confidence to extract it. Eternal Dopeness is their daily reminder to live dope.
Position Eternal Dopeness as a mind set. It's not only wearing good quality clothes, its a belief system and a way of living. Its about expressing your inner confidence (forever cool) to be the best you. Live eternal.

Upgraded Hampden athletic facility taking shape with high school sports season looming
by Ernie Clark August 1, 2018 July 31, 2018

HAMPDEN, Maine — These are quiet times at most high schools in the state.
The Maine Principals' Association mandates a two-week, hands-off period before the start of preseason practices for all fall sports in mid-August, meaning that all summer sports programs run through the schools have ended and the athletic facilities are largely empty.
That's not the case at Hampden Academy, where workers from NET Sports Group of Saco are wrapping up an $850,000 project to replace the 14-year-old artificial turf and upgrade the lighting system on the all-purpose field behind the school.
The installation of new artificial turf panels began Tuesday, while new poles with LED lights are set to be erected Friday in advance of the Aug. 8 scheduled completion of the work. The project was funded through a local bond approved in February by RSU 22 voters from Hampden, Winterport, Newburgh and Frankfort.
When practices begin Monday, Aug. 13, Hampden Academy student-athletes participating in field hockey, football, and boys and girls soccer will take their turns breaking in the new surface.
"I was getting a little nervous about a week ago," said Hampden Academy athletic administrator Fred Lower. "I had to stop going out to look because I don't know anything about construction, and I'd say to myself, 'Holy cow, we're not anywhere close because we've got piles of gravel and dirt and bulldozers and all kinds of stuff, and the new turf hadn't been delivered, and the light posts hadn't been delivered, and the old turf was still rolled up and not taken away.'
"I'd talk with the Sargent Corporation guys who were doing the groundwork about how things were going and they'd say, 'Great, we're about four or five days away,' and it would just shock me. But representatives from the different companies kept saying that once Sargent was done (Monday), it's going to be fast-paced and it's going to fly, and that's been the case."

Lower said plans for the new surface were designed with minimizing the number of lines required to accommodate the different sports.
In one example, the length of the soccer field will be extended from 110 yards to 120 yards, the maximum allowed by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
"We did that so the back of the football end zone and the endline of the soccer field are now the same line," Lower said. "The previous field had a yellow line five yards into each end zone running across the field for the soccer endline."
Among other changes, the home plate and pitching circle for softball will be made of artificial turf inlays instead of dirt, while the first- and third-base foul lines were adjusted to coincide with the soccer sideline a football/soccer endline.
"The softball home plate area was dirt, and we were constantly having to do maintenance, so we've eliminated that," Lower said. "There's a little less softball foul space now, but we wanted to eliminate distractions for players and clean up the look of the field."
The turf will have "HA" imprinted at midfield with purple letters outlined in white.
Each five yards of the football surface will be an alternating shade of green to give the look of a mowed field, Lower said, with white football coaching box inlays on each side of the gridiron linked to purple players' boxes.
The football end zones, green on the former turf, will be purple on the new surface. Football lines will be sewn on the field in white, with yellow soccer lines and purple field hockey lines.
"This field is going to be a lot more colorful but hopefully less distracting than the old one," Lower said.
Once the turf is installed, a sand and rubber infill will be applied to create the field's padding and softness.
Another task to be completed over the next week is an evening test of the new lights to ensure they provide adequate lighting to all areas of the field.
The first scheduled game use of the upgraded facility is the Northern Maine field hockey playday Aug. 18.
The field is used annually for as many as 90 athletic events, including Hampden Academy regular-season contests in numerous sports as well as regional and state championship events.
The field also is scheduled to host this year's Big 11 Conference (Class C North) football championship game for the first time in mid-November.
But for Lower, it's first things first.
"I'll relax when it's all done," he said, "and even then I won't relax because the day it's supposed to be finished I'm headed to South Carolina to take my daughter back to college, so I'll have the stress of being on the road down there and then making sure everything has come together here."

Q: Collecting data from 3rd party RESTful API then rename giving the same name as it had at REST I have managed to create a flow for which I have 2 InvokeHTTP Processors as one is connecting to the following URLs (sensitive data has been omitted)
https://api.xxxxxx.com/reports/v1/scheduledReports/download/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/2019-04-02T01:50:00Z.csv
https://api.xxxxxx.com/reports/v1/scheduledReports/download/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/2019-02-12T02:51:00Z.xxxxx_xxxxx.csv
https://api.xxxxxx.com/reports/v1/scheduledReports/download/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/2019-03-04T17:36:00Z.csv

The second is:
https://api.xxxxx.com/reports/v1/scheduledReports/download/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/2019-04-02T17:39:00Z.pdf

I have done it this way, as I was unable to find a way in the UpdateAttribute to rename the to .csv and .pdf
simultaneously within the same UpdateAttribute. Whilst I am able to download the data with the correct file ext, I am now trying to find a way that I can produce the file to output with its original filename as it is at REST on the 3rd party RESTAp.  Any ideas please?

A: Sorry you are having trouble with this. You cannot change the same attribute using a single UpdateAttribute processor, but you can drag as many response relationships from the InvokeHTTP processor as you like (most processors have only failure and success relationships, but InvokeHTTP is different because of the mechanics of HTTP request/response). Drag one response relationship to an UpdateAttribute processor that sets the filename to ${filename}.csv and another that sets it to ${filename}.pdf.

«Life on Mars?»  () — пісня Девіда Бові, вперше випущена у 1971 році на альбомі «Hunky Dory». У роботі над піснею, яку радіостанція BBC Radio 2 пізніше назвала «гібридом бродвейського мюзиклу і живопису Сальвадора Далі», взяв участь запрошений клавішник Рік Уейкман. Випущена як сингл в 1973 році, вона добралася до 3-го місця у Великій Британії і залишалася в чарті 13 тижнів. Через 30 років пісня повернулася в британський чарт на 55-е місце, головним чином завдяки своїй появі в однойменному англійському телесеріалі. Ніл Маккормік з британської газети The Telegraph поставив її на перше місце в своєму списку 100 найкращих пісень усіх часів.

Історія створення
У 1968 році Бові написав «Even a Fool Learns to Love», поклавши власний текст на музику французької пісні «Comme d'habitude» 1967 року. Пісня Бові ніколи не випускалась, але Пол Анка купив права на оригінальну французьку версію і переписав її в «My Way», прославивши Френка Сінатру, будучи записаною на однойменному альбомі 1969 року. Успіх версії Анки спонукав Бові написати «Life on Mars?»  як пародію на запис Сінатри, акорди пісень теж схожі.

Бові зазначив, що Уейкман «прикрасив фортепіанну партію» своєю своєрідною мелодією, а гітарист Мік Ронсон «створив одну з перших і кращих гітарних партій» для пісні. У написі на обкладинці «Hunky Dory» зазначено, що пісня була «натхненна Френкі». Для просування синглу Мік Рок зняв відеокліп, в якому Бові в бірюзовому костюмі виконував пісню соло на білому тлі.

Текст пісні
Радіостанція Бі-бі-сі назвала текст пісні «Life on Mars?»  «одним з найдивніших з будь коли написаних», що складається з «безлічі сюрреалістичних образів», подібних картинам Сальвадора Далі.

Під час випуску «Hunky Dory» в 1971 році Бові визначив тему пісні як «реакцію чутливої дівчини на мас-медіа». У 1997 році він додав: «Я думаю, що вона розчарована дійсністю, але, незважаючи на це, їй твердять, що десь є життя прекрасніше, і вона гірко розчарована тому, що двері в це життя для неї закриті».

Рядок «Look at those cavemen go» є відсиланням до пісні «Alley Oop» — єдиному хіту 1960 року американської ду-воп групи The Hollywood Argyles.

Вплив на популярну культуру
Пісня була використана в якості назви і саундтрека однойменного телесеріалу виробництва BBC. Вона часто звучала протягом обох сезонів телесеріалу, а також в його спін-офі «Прах до праху». Вона також використовувалася в американській адаптації серіалу.

В епізоді «Води Марса» британського телесеріалу «Доктор Хто» на Марсі була виявлена космічна станція «Bowie Base One».

У четвертому сезоні серіалу Американська історія жахів господиня цирку Ельза Марс виконує пісню, представляючи себе знаменитою співачкою в барвистому шоу. У цій сцені актриса Джессіка Ленг представлена в образі Девіда Бові з оригінального відео (бірюзові костюм і віки).

I've recently merged some changes into qtbase that I think warrant a warning/announcement to help people understand some strange errors that might pop up in the future.
we inform the compiler via __builtin_available that we are performing the necessary runtime check for the OS version before calling any potentially unavailable APIs. This means that we get compile time validation of API availability for APIs we use in Qt, something that has previously only been availably in Swift. Like always, the compiler automatically takes care of weak-linking the functions so there is no need to use dlopen/dlsym, and this works for all languages.
Now, as for what this means for Qt. In Qt 5.10 and beyond, unguarded-availability warnings are now a hard error (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/206348/). But what about older versions of Clang, and other compilers, where this builtin is not available? Thanks to a bit of macro magic (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/206346/16//ALL), we'll be able to use this new builtin function everywhere in Qt, on all compilers and platforms. My "polyfill" will simply transform the __builtin_available calls to an implementation that uses QOperatingSystemVersion behind the scenes, to perform the check.
Basically, all you need to do is make sure you use __builtin_available where necessary (and Xcode 9 will force you to). You may no longer use QSysInfo::macVersion (which is deprecated entirely, by the way), QOperatingSystemVersion, or respondsToSelector, to perform API availability checks. If you run into an error like "symbol 'macOS' undefined", you probably forgot to include qglobal_p.h, where the polyfill is housed.
I've already audited the entire Qt codebase, and adjusted all call sites as necessary. Unless I missed something, the work is done, but for future development, now everyone knows.


Aborea is a new German RPG published May 2011 by the 13Mann Verlag and created explicitly with new players in mind. The box contains a Players Guide, a GM guide a A2-sized village map and a (beautiful) A0-sized map of a continent.
The rules are in some aspects similar to Rolemaster as Aborea started its life as a setting for Rolemaster. However the expressed intent of its creators is to keep it a rules-light beginner-friendly RPG.
Also the game world is not going to be described in the level of detail that seems to bog down DSA. Instead the designers are going to leave most parts of the landscape open for the individual player groups to describe for themselves.
