The above image of bricks and lego bricks comes from Junk Jet no.2 with no explanation other than an author and title. Dispatchwork by Jan Vormann is architectural grafitti. Like Polish artist Truth's interventions, it introduces a plastic, modern material into an surface patinated by time. Dispatchwork is like a playful skin graft, rejuvenating a surface that might be taking itself a bit seriously. A new scale of "brick" has been introduced into the surfaces, defamiliarizing and then reintroducing the walls to passers-by. While the introduction of the Lego architectural graffiti is somewhat subversive, it also arguably creates a more perfect surface. A flawlessly smooth wall; an exactly 90 degree corner. And hell, it just looks cool.
If you haven't got your copy of Junk Jet yet, act fast! Not many were printed and it covers everything from the Infrastructural implications of the Popemobile as put forth by Sam Jacob to the mythic "cybridised architecture" of Neil Spiller, and much, much more (including free architecture tattoos!). Junk Jet will also be included in the exhibition A Few Zines, opening this week.


Avengers 4 is seeking a "fit model" - a costuming stand-in for an actor - for its ongoing reshoots, according to Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB-TV.
Marvel Studios is reportedly seeking an "African-American male, 5'9" and 300 pounds." Those auditioning "should wear size 52x32 pants and a size 11 shoe."
That's a specific description, likely meant to match an actor already cast in the film. WSB's report does not include any character details or indication of which actor, if any, the model is meant to stand in for.
Avengers 4 is currently undergoing reshoots at Atlanta's Pinewood Studios for a planned May 3, 2019 theatrical release.

Q: When are the categories of algebras over props (co)complete? Suppose P is a (colored) prop in a closed symmetric monoidal locally presentable category C. Is the category Alg_P of algebras over P in C locally presentable?
It seems that one can relatively easy establish the accessibility of algebras over P using PIE-limits.
However, the forgetful functor Alg_P→C preserves neither limits nor colimits, so it's unclear how one could establish the (co)completeness of Alg_P.
An example of the category of algebras over a prop
that is known to be locally presentable
is given by Hopf monoids.
As shown in §4.1.3 of Horst's paper "Universal constructions for Hopf algebras" doi:10.1016/j.jpaa.2008.04.007,
under certain additional conditions on C
the category of Hopf monoids in C is locally presentable.
The proof exploits the special structure of the Hopf monoid prop.

It's been so cold and rainy today - definitely one of those days you don't want to get out of bed 🙈😂 . . . . Today I've been looking for internships, and preparing to be part of the 'real world'. HELP when did I become an adult?
Well it's probably a bit obvious but this is not a photo of when I got up that day. For one thing I'm wearing foundation to cover up my acne, and I'm also holding a Starbucks (which I had to go out to get), and this is actually my sister's bed too. Actually this photo was a massive big deal to me, basically a big challenge I'd set myself so I could get a cute shot of these pjs. I'm horrendously camera shy, and hate taking photos when I can't see exactly what my face looks like. The first 40 pictures I looked like I was hating life, and this was the final one where I finally looked into the camera and smiled. Posting this made me feel horrible and teary, and then eventually I felt kind of proud. I'm sure girls who are camera shy will get me.
This will go down as one of my favourite Instagram shots ever, but taking it was a nightmare. Pro tip when taking a photo of flowers, do it before they've been in a vase. There was water dripping everywhere, and I wanted to put those daffodils down straight away.
This is one of those 'casual' just happened to be passing by shots, but really I'd seen this on someone else's Instagram and knew I needed a picture. Honestly it's a little embarrassing that I went all the way into London just to get this shot, and even more when you realise I had to spend 10 minutes watching a woman having her photo taken outside it before I could get a shot. Do I regret it? No because it's pretty.
Probably wouldn't be an Instagram post without talking flatlays. Honestly when I took this shot I was super stressed out. This was a 'oh god I have nothing for the insta flatlay'. I chucked a whole lot of blue items down onto my fake marble background, and then kept on adding random products till the photo felt right. Shout out to my Oliver Bonas trinket tray for being cute. Possibly one of the best pieces of advice I've heard about flatlays is to make sure the products are equally spaced out. Didn't quite achieve that here but hey I tried.
Anyway that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed having a little insight into how I take my photos and what's really going on behind the scenes. Instagram is a social media that makes everything look effortless, but trust me it's not at all. A lot of hard work goes into curating a feed, and a lot of time too (but I just love it). Have a great weekend lovelies!

The Williams County Highway Complex is an 80,000 SF facility being built for the collaboration of multiple departments for Williams County. The project allows the Highway Department, Weed Control, and Vector control to all be in one cohesive building and site with the ability to share common spaces. This complex consists of office space, a training room and large meeting hall, conference rooms, crew rooms, lockers, labs, storage space and large shop and maintenance space for these departments.
The building is organized with a primary south orientation to maximize views, solar heat gain in the winter, and comfortable entrances. The facility is organized with a central 'hub' with a majority of offices and meeting spaces and the shop bays branch off of the main core. The design aesthetics focused on the longevity of materials, combining the industrial nature of the shops with an agricultural yet modern appeal that fit with the context and history of the site.
"Taking this building typology to a higher level than ever demonstrated before."

Q: How to quicky create array from  big file? I have example:
    for line in IN.readlines():
        line = line.rstrip('\n')
        mas = line.split('\t')
        row = ( int(mas[0]), int(mas[1]), mas[2], mas[3], mas[4] )
        self.inetnums.append(row)
    IN.close()

If ffilesize == 120mb, script time = 10 sec. Can I decrease this time ?

A: Remove the readlines()
Just do
for line in IN:

Using readlines you are creating a list of all lines from the file and then accessing each one, which you don't need to do. Without it the for loop simply uses the generator which returns a line each time from the file.

A: You may gain some speed if you use a List Comprehension
inetnums=[(int(x) for x in line.rstrip('\n').split('\t')) for line in fin]

Here is the profile information with two different versions
>>> def foo2():
    fin.seek(0)

        row = ( int(mas[0]), int(mas[1]), mas[2], mas[3])

Juventus and Sampdoria to discuss a possible transfer prior to Monday's match
After brushing Sassuolo aside in the opening round of the season, Juventus will travel to Liguria for an encounter against Sampdoria next Monday. Thus, the two sides could seize the opportunity to discuss a transfer that has been on the agenda for a while.
According to Calciomercato, the Bianconeri and the Blucerchiati will negotiate the possible transfer of Daniele Rugani.
The defender has been a part of the black and white squad since 2015, but spent the majority of his campaigns in Turin as a mere benchwarmer. However, the source notes that the transfer remains a complex affair due to three different obstacles.
The first is the player's will, as he could simply prefer to stay at Juventus rather than joining a side that has been struggling recently.
The second hurdle is the defender's wages (3 million euros per season). Sampdoria would need Juventus to contribute in a significant percentage of the player's salary.
Finally, the third obstacle is embodied by Jeison Murillo. Samp would have to sell the Colombian defender to make room for Rugani, but the former Inter man is suffering from a shortage of suitors on the market.
The source adds that Juventus prefer to sell the 27-year-old to Galatasaray who are able to afford his wages, but the player remains reluctant to join the Turkish giants, as he would rather stay in Italy.

What to Expect With Home DNA Testing Kits Genetics health tests have already been existing for the past couple of years and are already well known to a lot of people. Even so, they have become so popular even among the average people because there now exists home DNA tests that will make it possible now for the average person to be able to collect DNA samples to better identify them. DNA profiling is very much important nowadays because of its ability to better identify the person that may be the culprit of something that has happened in an event. The ultimate reason for this is the fact that there will still be some DNA left from the person in the place where whatever he or she has done something not unlikely. The best thing about home DNA testing kits is that any person now has the ability to be able to identify the DNA samples that they have collected. This is one reason why majority of people have been purchasing their very own home DNA testing kits because there may be something happening inside of their offices or homes and they would want to know who could be responsible for it. When you are thinking of getting your own DNA testing kits but are still having second thoughts because of the assumption that it is a very complicated process, you might want to think again. One of the great things about home DNA testing kits is that are very much easy to use. If you think that you cannot make use of these kits because you have no laboratory training, then that is just fine because there are no requirements as to who is allowed to use these home DNA testing kits. When it comes to home DNA testing kits, you will just be guided by their instructional booklets as well as comprehensive guide so that you will not be confused what you should be doing. If you are concerned if the results given by home DNA testing kits are reliable, then worry not because they are indeed very precise and accurate. The most common use of home DNA testing kits will have to be confirmation of the identity of the person with the help of their DNA with the use of the color testing method. Different people implies that they have different DNA. Because of differences in DNA, with the use of home DNA testing kits, you will be able to determine accurately if such a person has indeed touched an object or held an item. What you need to know about DNA is that when a person with a particular DNA holds an object, their DNA will be left on it. Obtaining DNA samples is very easy because all you have to do is just to use a DNA pad or a cotton swab to get some samples.

By combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence and leading EV technology, the IDS Concept is zeroing in on two of Nissan's aspirational goals: zero emissions and zero traffic fatalities. But this concept isn't just built to take you safely and efficiently from point A to point B. Even in Piloted Drive mode, when the vehicle is in control, it mimics the driver's own style and preferences—promising a gratifying, fun drive.
Fitted with a high-capacity 60 kWh battery, the Nissan IDS Concept's carbon-fiber hatchback body is lightweight and aerodynamic, for increased driving range. Its low stance minimizes drag and its ultra-thin, low rolling resistance tires — positioned close to the corners to maximize interior space—improve air flow.
Choose Piloted Drive and watch the steering wheel disappear inside the instrument panel. All four seats rotate slightly inward—like the conversation corner of a cozy living room—and a large panel displaying route updates, appointments and more takes center stage. Choose Manual Drive and the interior is transformed to put the driver in control. Seats face forward, the steering wheel reappears, and the interior lighting switches to blue to stimulate concentration.
The Nissan IDS Concept communicates with those outside the car as well as with its interior passengers. An LED line on the side body shines white to indicate its awareness of pedestrians or cyclists. And with clever electronic displays—like an "After You" flashing message—the concept also clearly signals its intentions.

Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker took a narrow 3-point lead over the Democratic establishment's candidate Amy McGrath Thursday, a lead which could lead to an AOC-caliber upset in Congress.
According to primary election results by The Associated Press, Booker surpassed McGrath Thursday morning in a 3.5% lead, with NBC reporting a 4% lead. While only accounting for 12% of the total vote, Booker's lead includes majorities in Kentucky's major cities of Louisville, Lexington, and Frankfort.
Still, the vote is still too-close-to-call.
"Perhaps what we learned most clearly tonight is this: Mail-in ballots mean elections are unlikely to be one-night affairs this year," wrote Jennifer Medina with the New York Times.
McGrath had been leading the race since ballots began to be counted on June 23. Until Thursday morning's shift, she maintained a narrow lead over Booker.
Booker marked the shift in the lead with a tweet, saying, "What's going on in Kentucky, you ask???"
The numbers are coming in.

The lead comes after a major controversy at the Louisville polls on election day.
There was only one designated polling place in Louisville, a city of 600,000 people. Voters who didn't cast mail-in ballots faced long lines at the polls, and many ended up stuck in traffic because of the congestion to vote
"Because of a record number of mail-in ballots, we won't get official vote tallies from county clerks right away. We're all eager to get results, but I am grateful for the extra effort and due diligence to make sure every voice is heard and every vote is counted." tweeted McGrath.

But voters were locked out of the single polling place in Louisville at 6 p.m., resorting to banging on the doors, and demanding the polls to reopen.
Booker was forced to file an injunction to extend voting time in Jefferson County, which was denied. McGrath also filed an injunction to keep the polls open.

— Rex Chapman (@RexChapman) June 23, 2020
The site later appeared to allow an extension past the 6 p.m. deadline, with Booker's campaign manager tweeting, "the doors to the Expo Center have been opened and voters are being allowed to cast their ballots.
Despite this, Booker's hometown pulled-through.
If he wins, Booker will face Mitch McConnell
This election cycle in Kentucky wasn't expected to be much of a competition. But Booker made a late surge in line with recent Black Lives Matter protests nationwide.
"Only a movement can beat Mitch McConnell. We are the people he has ignored for decades. Black, Brown, and White Kentuckians, from the hood to the holler, we are rising up. We were so invisible to him, he never saw us coming." Booker tweeted on election day
He is the youngest Black state lawmaker in Kentucky. His platform is unapologetically progressive and Booker has maintained a strong presence on the front lines of protests against police brutality in his hometown of Louisville, where Breonna Taylor was unjustly killed by police.
The final results on June 30 will determine whether his campaign will truly "shock the world."

The Devotion of Suspect X, by Keigo Higashino
Translated by Alexander O. Smith
Review copy courtesy WordFest
And now for something completely different: A KfC review of a murder mystery, translated from the Japanese.
Regular visitiors here will be aware that mystery/crime is not my genre: in 26 months, this blog has reviewed only two (the first parts of Patricia Highsmith's five-book Ripley series). Searching the blog for my experience with Japanese fiction would be even more fruitless: unlike many readers who have found value there, I don't think I have ever before read a book translated from the Japanese. (I have nothing against Japanese fiction, just never been moved to try it.) So I haven't just moved outside my comfort zone with this novel, I found myself in a couple of zones that are virtually unknown to me.
Some back story is required to explain how I got there. I have been involved with WordFest, the Banff-Calgary author's festival, almost since its inception more than 15 years ago. I was on the board of directors some years ago and since then have maintained a connection as one of their "readers", supplying thoughts on books by authors whom they are considering inviting to the new festival. (You can check out WordFest's website here.) The festival's new executive director, Jo Steffens, dropped by recently to introduce herself — and brought along an Advance Reading Copy of The Devotion of Suspect X.
Despite not being my usual fare, the promotional material on the ARC sparked my curiosity. Minotaur Books, the publisher, says that Higashino is Japan's "biggest best-selling novelist", that more than 2 million copies of this novel have sold in Japan and that it won the Naoki Prize (which they say is Japan's equivalent of the National Book Award). Not just that, the press run for the first printing of this North American version is 75,000 — an amazing figure for an author not known here. Loyal WordFest "reader" that I am, it seemed worth at least a scan of the first few pages. One day and almost 300 pages later, I finished the book, delighted and intrigued by the experience.
The Devotion of Suspect X has five central characters, three on the crime side, two crime "solvers". Let's start with the criminal ones (this isn't a spoiler — it all happens in the first 26 pages).
Yasuko Hanaoka is a former nightclub hostess who now works in a small shop selling boxed lunches. She and her teenage daughter, Misato, live nearby — since divorcing her abusive former husband, Togashi, (he was client at the nightclub) the two have moved several times to try to escape him. He shows up early in the book, apparently looking for reconciliaton or, failing that, money. He follows her home and, after an angry exchange with Yasuko, turns his rage on his step-daughter who hits him over the head with a copper flower vase.
Then [Togashi] leapt astride her, grabbing her long hair and striking the side of her face with his right hand. "I'm gonna kill you, you little bitch!" he roared.
He is going to kill her, Yasuko thought. He really is going to kill her–
Still on her knees, Yasuko looked around frantically. The electrical cord snaking from beneath the kotatsu caught her eye. She reached over, grabbed it and yanked it out of the socket. The other end was still attached to a corner of the kotatsu top. She stood, making a loop out of the cord in her hand.
She stepped behind Togashi where he sat atop her daughter, hitting her repeatedly, howling in blind anger. She slipped the loop over his head and pulled with all her strength.
It takes a while, but Togashi is soon no longer with us and mother and daughter face the daunting prospect of what to do next. That's when the third member of the crime side, Ishigami, comes into play. We have met him at the start of the book: he lives in the apartment next door, he is a high school mathematics teacher, squat and ugly, who buys a lunch box at the shop every day Yasuko is there. He doesn't show up on her days off and the owners have been teasing her that she has attracted an admirer.
The killing of Togashi has been rather noisy and, while mother and daughter are contemplating their dilemma, the phone rings.
Yasuko steadied her breath, then lifted the receiver to her ear and pressed the talk button. "Yes? Hello? Hanaoka speaking."
"Um, hi. It's Ishigami, from next door."
Yasuko stared stupidly at the phone. It's that teacher again. What could he possibly want this time? "Yes? Can I help you?"
"Erm, well, actually, I was wondering what you were going to do."
Yasuko had no idea what he meant. "I'm sorry, about what?"
"Just, well,–" Ishigami paused before continuing. "If you were going to call the police, well that's fine, I'll say nothing about it. But if you weren't, then I was thinking there might be something I could do to help."
I've gone on at more length (and with longer quotes) than I should in setting up the story, but there is a reason. One of the distinguishing — indeed intriguing — qualities of The Devotion of Suspect X is that reading it is a novelistic version of reading the libretto of an opera. Both in story line and prose, there is an icy, almost simplistic, formality — the author demands of the reader a willingness to accept some very unlikely story developments (and equally formal, unrealistic language). (I don't think that is a translation issue. It may well be a characteristic of Japanese fiction — my own lack of exposure leaves me unqualified to comment.) Like opera, however, the result is what I'll call "literary theatre". The stylization and simplificaton of the story and the voice may seem forced, but it is done to introduce the reader to an understanding of the underlying emotions and elements that drive both.
That tension comes into play when the two crime "solvers" are introduced. Kusangi is the lead detective on the case — his friend, Yukawa, is a physics professor with whom Kusangi regularly discusses cases. As it happens, Yukawa and Ishigami were classmates at the Imperial University, each with exceptional promise (albeit in the different fields of physics and mathematics). Yukawa is a bit of an amateur sleuth and becomes intrigued by this particular case and the involvement of his former classmate and friend. Author Higashino uses that device to add an entirely new layer to his story — the different nature of practical physics and theoretical mathematics, the classical problems in each field and how those problems and the investigation of their solution might play out when applied to real world crime (I warned you of the operatic nature of the plot).
In fact, Higashino introduces one of mathematics (and physics) classical "unsolved" problems as an over-arching theme of the story when Ishigami and Yukawa have their first meeting in the book:
"You're familiar with the P=NP problem, right?" Yukawa asked from behind him.
Ishigami looked around. "You're referring to the question of whether or not it is as easy to determine the accuracy of another person's results as it is to solve the problem yourself — or, failing that, how the difference in difficulty compares. It's one of the questions the Clay Mathematics Institute has offered a prize to solve."
Obviously, this is not your routine murder mystery, be it in English or Japanese. You don't need to know complex mathematics to be able to understand it, but the way that both Ishigami and Yukawa apply their science to the crime (or its solution) grows in importance as the book moves on. This reader came to appreciate that the stylized plot development was an important part of that structure — and the seemingly strained narrative and dialogue were a deliberate version of the simple "elegance" that mathematicians and physicists demand of their proofs.
So I would conclude that my venture into two different worlds outside my reading "comfort zone" was highly successful. There is a mental and emotional depth to this book that would be almost impossible to capture in a conventional narrative. I can't say that I am eagerly awaitiing Higashino's next translated book, but I am delighted to have been introduced to this one — which I freely admit I would never have found on my own.

The southern spitters have a hit single too.
(AllHipHop News) The A Star Is Born soundtrack by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper pulled in enough equivalent album units (231,000) to land at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. However, the most-streamed album of the week was from Atlanta-based rappers Lil Baby and Gunna.
The duo's Drip Harder collected 130,000 units, 121,000 of which was from streaming. That translated to 164.63 million on-demand audio streams.
Baby and Gunna's collaborative effort opened at #4 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, their lead single, "Drip Too Hard," is projected to reach the Top 5 on the Hot 100 chart.


This one will sure come handy for you to replace white sugar in toddlers and kids milk, milkshakes etc. Also it does taste just like lion date syrup, which was / is a rage in India.
I usually stock up on dates to feed my daughter with two or three everyday. Recently we were given a big stash of really good quality dates from a relative who visited Dubai. After making my dates cookies, cakes I wanted to try this syrup too. It turned out too good and I have already made it thrice for our family and some relatives too.
After all homemade condiments like this date syrup, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, mango jam comes very handy when you need to serve breakfast on busy days.
So What Exactly Is Date Syrup?
Date syrup or silan is a condiment made just from dried dates and water. It resembles molasses or honey in texture and color. While often recommended as a super food and healthy supplement, you can easily replace sugar in toddlers and kids diet with this date syrup.
Dates are very healthy fruit with immense nutrition. You know how it is recommended to dates in our diet especially for its rich iron content. Here are some more health benefits of dates.
While dates are very healthy , sometimes it becomes very difficult to get toddlers and kids actually eat them. That's when you can try this homemade date syrup. Just mix it up with their milk or you can serve it in many other ways too. (See serving suggestions and uses below).
All that is said, please note that date syrup is a very concentrated form of sugar. The sugar content is very high and you cannot use it large quantities on day to day basis.
A reasonable amount of syrup as replacement of dried date fruit will help you reap the benefits.
This date syrup is very widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine. You can find more information about date syrup here.
Can We Feed Date Syrup To Babies?
Usually we start off babies with dates after eight months. Just a half dried date, soaked in water and mashed very well. So you can also start off with date syrup but very less quantity until one year. Do consult your doctor before introducing any new food to babies.
How To Serve Date Syrup To Toddles And Kids?
In milk- the easiest way is to just mix up some date syrup in their warm milk. 2 teaspoons of syrup is good for a cup of milk.
Breakfast topping- You can easily serve this date honey as topping for pancakes, waffles and side dish for toast, paratha, dosa. Again just 2 or 3 teaspoons will go long way.
Where Can I Use Date Syrup Day To Day?
Replacement of white sugar- You can use this date syrup instead of white sugar to sweeten the milk, coffee etc.
Dessert topping- This syrup is gorgeous as topping for your homemade desserts, ice cream and sundeas. It tastes really good.
The quantity of syrup depends on the quality of your dates. Select plump and fresh dates as they contain more pulp and yields more syrup.
The consistency of the syrup depends on how long you actually cook the juice extracted from dates. For thicker syrup you should cook longer.
If required you can add 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla for flavor.
Store the date syrup in a clean dry bottle. Always use clean dry spoon to serve.
As this syrup is made without preservatives I always refrigerate this and use within 15 days for the given quantity.
First of all if you have refrigerated the dates, remove them to a bowl and add water to cover them. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Drain the water and pit the dates and halve them or chop them roughly. It is always recommended to purchase dates with seed rather than seedless ones.
Bring 4 cups of water to rolling boil in a big pan. Add the pitted and halved dates. Let cook for 5-6 minutes. Switch off the flame and let the dates remain in hot water for an hour.
Place a sieve over a large bow. Filter the water from the soaked dates.
Using the back of ladle or potato masher mash the cooked dates really well to remove all the liquid.
Now take the filtered liquid back to a sauce pan.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes to get the date syrup in desired consistency. I simmered for around 15 minutes and kept the consistency slightly thin as it thickens on refrigerating.
Let the syrup cool thoroughly before storing in airtight bottles. keep refrigerated.
With this recipe of homemade date syrup you will never need to buy a bottle from store again. Tasty, healthy and clean date syrup ready in 30 minutes flat. Apart from mixing with milk, you can use this as dessert or cake topping too!
If you have refrigerated the dates, remove them to a bowl and add water to cover them and set aside for 10 minutes. This will soften the dates and makes it easier to pit them.
Drain the excess water and pit the dates and halve them or chop them roughly.
In a big pan bring 4 cups of water to rolling boil. Add the pitted and halved dates and cook for 5-6 minutes. Switch off the flame. Let the dates remain in hot water for an hour.
Using a sieve over large bowl filter the water from the soaked dates. Using the back of ladle or potato masher mash the cooked dates really well. Get all the juice extracted from the dates by mashing.
You will get about 2.5 cups of extracted liquid. Now take the filtered liquid back in a sauce pan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. The syrup will start to thicken. Simmer till the syrup thickens and reduces a bit.
I simmered for around 15 minutes to keep the consistency slightly thin as it thickens on refrigerating.
Use a big sieve and bowl or do the mashing in batches.
Do not over cook the liquid as it will burn and turn bitter due to caramelizing.
How To Store Date Syrup?
Store in a clean dry bottle in refrigerator.
Mixed with milk instead of sugar.
Hi Harini, thanks for sharing the lovely healthy recipe. May I know for how long this syrup can stay good in fridge.
Hi, thank you! As mentioned in the recipe it stays good for 10-15 days.
Excellent recipe, so good method to make date syrup!

October Volunteer Spotlight: Phil Clarke
Oct 2, 2019 | General, MDC News, Volunteer Spotlight
Illinois native Phil Clarke is that smiling gentleman who may be spotted leading the children in the Marine Discovery Center's summer camps to various activities.
And after retiring from a successful career in business that kept him on planes for more than 30 years with platinum travel status from various hotels and airlines, Clarke is happiest spending these days as a volunteer at MDC, teaching kids how to bait hooks, paint oyster shells or open their juice boxes.
A volunteer at the Marine Discovery Center since 2013, Clarke especially enjoys teaching youngsters about the Indian River Lagoon and how to take care of it. Read about him in our October Volunteer Spotlight with MDC staff writer Lisa Mickey:
Q: Where did you grow up? A: I grew up in Harvard, Ill., halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago and four miles from the Wisconsin border. I was a Milwaukee Braves fan and we used to go to the games, but when they left, I followed the Cubs. Even though I live in Florida now, I still have season tickets for the Green Bay Packers. Through corporate moves, we moved to Wisconsin, Boston, Orlando, and then to New Smyrna Beach.
Q: Where did you get your education and what was your career? A: I got a bachelor's degree in marketing and a minor in mathematics at Western Illinois University, which is 30 miles from the Mississippi River. I ended up working in downtown Chicago right after school.
I grew up in a farm town of 4,000, so I didn't plan on living in a big city, but I ended up spending 20 years working in banking on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I was a field person for a company there and became vice president of correspondent bank service. A couple of guys built a technology company, so I went to work for them in Milwaukee as a district sales manager after 20 years in Chicago. Their company, Fiserv, was outsourcing computer software to the same banks on which I had been calling, so I knew the clients. During my Chicago days, my territory was Illinois, Wisconsin and parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana. Then they sent me to Boston to manage the sales team in nine states. With the new company, I also sold to that area. Everything a bank does would plug into our system, so it's software specific to financial institutions. They had about 2,800 employees when I joined them and they just went to 33,000 employees and are now a Fortune Top-300 company. I moved to Orlando in 2001 and ran their operation in Lake Mary.
Q: So were you a financial guy who became a tech guy? A: I worked at the bank and met the tech guys there. I ended up studying at the school of bank marketing at the University of Colorado and going to graduate school in banking at the University of Wisconsin. I got more into the banking experience, but the new company was really more about the tech side. It was about bankers selling technology to banks. I worked with a colleague in Boston and when we made calls, each of us brought strengths in both the banking and technology side. And we had great support teams who worked with us. When you get into the tech world, they speak a different language.
Q: How long did you work in Orlando? A: I worked in Orlando for about six years as a sales manager — working with the big banks for a while, before going back to the small banks. I retired in March 2016, but moved to New Smyrna in 2015.
Q: So how does a guy from the upper Midwest land in Central Florida? A: I grew up in a little town and two people in my town used to vacation in New Smyrna Beach. There are probably 10-12 people from our town who live here now. In the mid-1970s, my parents would come down here and eventually did the snowbird routine. When my wife and I, along with our two daughters, were still living in the Midwest, we'd come down to visit. By the time we moved to the Orlando area, we knew New Smyrna Beach quite well. As residents of Oviedo, this was the beach we came to, and when I retired and moved over here in 2015, we knew this was where we would move.
Q: When did you start volunteering at MDC? A: I started volunteering in the spring of 2016. When we moved to Oviedo, my youngest daughter was going to the University of Central Florida. I learned about MDC's summer camps through my neighbor's grandchildren, who came to camp here. I drove over here a few times to see what MDC was and what it was about. I was preparing to retire and I wanted to do something. So I volunteered in the springtime, with summer camps coming up.
Summer camp was where the most need was at the time and I totally enjoyed it. It was like being a grandpa to all of those kids. This summer, I saw the same kids for the third or fourth year in a row.
Q: It's almost like watching those kids grow up, isn't it? A: It's wonderful. You really do watch them grow up. I also run into them at the street festivals around town and at Publix, and then I also get to know their moms and dads.
Q: What do you like about working with these kids? A: I think I've helped a little bit and I've met a lot of good folks who run the camps. I'm just a volunteer. I'm not running the camps or classes. If they need a bucket of water, I'll go get a bucket of water so they can keep teaching the class. I like being out here and I'll do whatever they need for me to do. It's pretty cool because one day, we're going to Ponce Inlet with the kids and another day, we go to Blue Spring Park or to Disappearing Island or we go fishing. It's fun! And this year, my grandsons came over for camp.
Q: Did you go to camp as a child? A: Yes, but my camp when I was a kid was in tents – more like Boy Scouts and local church camps. There was no education focus. It was mostly about going to play in the river, paddle a canoe and ride horses. This is a lot more organized with a real purpose behind what we do here. We're teaching the kids to appreciate what we have in our little paradise.
Q: Do you volunteer all summer at MDC summer camp? A: Yes, as much as I can, almost every week. I'm flexible enough that if somebody doesn't show up, they can call me and I'll come over to help out. When I'm not doing summer camp, I just watch the MDC newsletter and see what I want to get involved in. I've helped get rid of Brazilian pepper and helped with some post-hurricane cleanup. There's always something to do.
Q: You have had so many professional experiences. How does a man who is 70 come here and make a connection with these children in our summer camps? A: They remind me so much of my grandkids. I've actually had some of them call me Grandpa. Sometimes they miss their mom or dad on that first day, so I try to give them extra attention. Some kids come from far away to go to camp. We've had the same girl from France for the last two years. One little girl made something for me from Bible school. Little things like that keep you going.
Q: What do you enjoy most about volunteering at MDC? A: What I enjoy most is that parents are giving us their kids for the whole day and for a 5- or 6-year old, that's a big deal. By the end of that week, it's fun to watch the slideshow with the parents of what we did during camp. They are surprised at how much we do. It's not just daycare. We keep the kids going and the parents thank us. But it's really about educating the kids about what's important, keeping the plastics under better control, appreciating the wildlife and teaching them about keeping both the ocean and the lagoon clean.
Q: Working with kids sounds like a lot of hands-on educational experiences. A: It is about stewardship, but it's also about holding their hands if they need a little bit of help and pushing them a little bit to put their faces underwater when we go snorkeling — just a lot of encouragement. Sometimes it backfires a little. Twice this summer when we took the kids to the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, I had to walk down those stairs backwards. Once, I held a little girl's hand and went down the stairs backward as she slid down each stair step on her rear end with her back against the wall because she got up to the top and had a panic attack. I can tell you that 203 steps backwards is a lot slower than 203 stair steps up.
Q: You could be playing golf or sitting on the beach. Why do you want to do this? A: I get to go fishing with the kids and I still have plenty of time. I leave here around 3 p.m., so I can do other things after a day of camp. I have time to ride my bike and play golf with my friends.
Q: Do you volunteer in other places? A: Yes, when the church needs something, I'll help. I go to St. Peter the Fisherman Episcopal Church. I used to volunteer with the Jaycees when I lived in the Midwest. I've volunteered with my condo association, but that got to be too much.
Q: Is your family here? A: I have two adult daughters. We moved here from Boston in 2001, my wife got sick with cancer in April 2002, and she passed away in 2003 at age 43. She was at home in hospice care for the last six months of her life. My daughters were in high school when that happened. I've stayed close to them and have really tried to focus on them. One daughter is in Orlando and she and her husband have two boys. The other daughter is in Ohio and she has a son and daughter. When my grandkids come to visit, it's like camp at Grandpa's house.
Q: The death of your wife at such a young age must have been tragic for your family. A: Yes, but you learn that life goes on. You might have issues, but the rest of the world is still going on. I was rearing two teenage girls, but through that, my daughters and I really got close. Fortunately, they're very responsible people. My wife died three days away from one daughter's 18th birthday. That daughter rode horses and even though this had happened, she still went to the barn to do what she needed to do. She still rides horses and teaches riding lessons in Ohio. My other daughter got her bachelor's degree in actuary science and earned her master's degree and went to work for Disney in pricing strategy.
Q: What excites you the most about being a part of our mission at MDC to educate others about the Indian River Lagoon? A: One thing I've noticed since I've moved here is the awareness around town. More people know about MDC and send their kids here. Their parents are aware of the lagoon and the issues, and then want their kids to learn more.
Q: Your life empathy level is probably greater than most. Do you find there are real chances to connect and support the children at MDC? A: Oh sure. It's a compliment when they tell me I remind them of their grandpa. Sometimes, they will come ask me to help them open their sandwich or help them with their milk carton. When they do arts and crafts, it's fun because that activity links to the theme of the day. Maybe we have been out and they have seen oyster reefs and now they are painting oyster shells in art class. They now understand where the oysters come from and they appreciate it. We hope that the next time they are at a restaurant with their parents and someone is eating oysters, they will know a story about it. It's not just about what Dad's eating for dinner. The same thing is true about Disappearing Island. Maybe they have been out there on the weekend having fun, but these kids know when you walk around out there, there are crabs, fish and birds. These kids growing up here have learned more about where we live and what is living around us
Q: What do you try to give kids when you volunteer? A: I just want to open their eyes to what we have here and how important it is to keep it. I want our campers to learn to think local and to support local and to be proud and protective of what we have here. This is a nice place, but let's not take it for granted. Let's keep a balance. It's going to grow, but let's be smart in how our town grows.
Q: Do you have hobbies? A: I love to read and I read a lot, but mostly, I spend time with my grandkids. I go everywhere with them. One of my grandsons is a dirt-bike racer and he travels all over the state, racing every other Saturday. I'm also a huge UCF football booster and I try to go to their games.
Q: What has been the highlight for you at MDC? A: It's nice to see the physical plant improve here with the renovations and building of the new amphitheater and kayak shack. I'm also seeing the MDC logo around town on more things. Whenever I wear my MDC shirt around town after I have spent the day here, people will say things to me and thank me.
Q: After a career in business, I suppose you can see how one could make a lot of money in our town without the stewardship being intact. How do we balance free enterprise and growth while also taking care of what we have? A: I think getting the different businesses and getting the city involved in what we do is the best way to create that synergy. On our on, we can't do it. We need help from the outside. I took a graduate class called the "social responsibility of business." The name of the class was almost a question. How much do you give back? I think businesses have some responsibility for the health of the community they are in. When there is a partnership, it works better. I'm trying to help get sponsorships for this year's Plein Air Paint Out and when I go talk to local businesses on behalf of MDC, I expect them to have some understanding of what we are trying to do here. We have a partnership with the Indian River Lagoon and it relies on us to make sure it is healthy.
Q: Our volunteers come from so many different backgrounds. How do you transfer your high-level skill set of working with financial institutions to working with children? A: At times the people I managed gave me training for the kids I work with today. There's a commonality in managing people, regardless of the size. You have to get to their level. With little kids, I get down on a knee and look them in the eye. I'm 6-foot-5, so I have to do that, but it works. Kids are funny, though. One little girl was telling me about her grandfather and I asked where he was and she said he was in a box at her grandmother's house. [He had been cremated.] I didn't even know what to say.
Q: Why is it important to volunteer? A: I knew that when I retired, I wanted to do something to give back a little bit. I wanted to get involved in something positive and local in the community. There are always things you can volunteer for. I don't think you can sit and complain about a place if you don't try to get involved and try to understand it. I go to city and county meetings. I'm not vocal, but I go to try to learn. I think it's important to pay attention to what's going on. At MDC, we can get involved and really be proactive in something that is positive – whether it's cutting down invasive Brazilian pepper plants or taking out the ice cream for the kids on Friday afternoon at camp, there's always something to do here. You can do as much as you want. And I love it all.

Q: Gstreamer How to Capture Video from Specific Camera on Windows (MultipleCameras) My problem is I have to capture video from camera but I have multiple cameras. First one is default laptop camera and second is USB-attached Camera.
The problem is there is no 'device' attribute in gstreamer sources on Windows.
In Linux, I have found  " gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 \ "
In Windows instead of v412src, autovidesrc and videotestsrc are using. However, they don't have 'device' attribute.
As I searched in web, people are using dsvideoshowsrc but I did not get how they install it or how they implemented it. Some of them used ksvideosrc.

If anyone can help how can I resolve this issue, that would be very appreciated. I know many people had this problem and will have this problem. Therefore, clean explanation would benefit us so much.

A: I think dshowvideosrc is somewhat legacy, maybe helpful for some directshow only devices - I'm not even sure if that was ported to 1.0..
ksvideosrc should be good for your webcams. For reference here is the code:
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-bad/blob/master/sys/winks/gstksvideosrc.c
There you will see there are at least 3 different ways to select your device:
PROP_DEVICE_PATH
PROP_DEVICE_NAME
PROP_DEVICE_INDEX

So you can select your device via name or path - these may be GUIDs or something - I'm not sure (try to check within the code ;-)). But you also have an index which is probably the quickest way to get you started.

A: This worked for me
gst-launch-1.0.exe -v ksvideosrc do-stats=TRUE ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

A: ksvideosrc is good. Need to have GStreamer version 1.3 or above. Install or change to use all capture features. Typical install on windows does not come with ksvideosrc.
For ksvideosrc device-index starts from 0. If Webcam is the only video capture device, it would be device-index 0.

Q: Headless Google Chrome - Change Timezone Is it possible to launch a headless Google Chrome and programatically set a timezone for testing? It doesn't seem to be present as a shell switch.
I'd like to be able to run tests with varying timezones to confirm that the front end is handling timezone conversion properly.

A: I recently came across this script that solves this issue. It supports a few configuration options. From the code:
# Change this to the spoof a different timezone. Helpful for testing timezone specific client facing content.
export TZ="America/Los_Angeles"

# Permanent directory to store the user-data directory of your 'fresh'
# Chrome configuration.
fresh_dir="$HOME/.fresh-chrome"

# Temporary directory in which to create new user-data directories for
# temporary Chrome instances.
tmp_dir="/tmp"

Interestingly, the TZ variable is not part of the script. Perhaps Chrome reads the TZ environment variable when it starts? I'm not sure, but this works for now.


The Panama Canal is an artificial, about 82 km long waterway that cuts through the Isthmus of Panama in Central America, connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific for the shipping and you thus spared the trip around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America. The canal opened in 1914, is one of the most important waterways in the world, about 14,000 ships (as of 2011) passed through it each year. The size of the ships is limited by the so-called Panamax dimensions that can be observed, for example, container ships with 4,600 standard containers (TEU). After the completion of the expansion that began in 2007 (scheduled 2015) should be able to pass it ships with 12,000 TEU.
Casco Viejo is the oldest and the native of the city of Bilbao core. It is part of District Ibaiondo. The cathedral and the churches of San Antón, San Nicolás Santos Juanes and are in the area.
Taboga Island, also known as the "island of flowers", is a volcanic island in the Gulf of Panama. It is located about 20 km south of the mouth of the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean.
Panamá Viejo is the remaining part of the old city of Panama, the country's capital. Located in the outskirts of the modern city, in conjunction with the Historic District of Panamá, it forms a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1971 site.

The HFD will allow applicants to apply for the recruitment without ENG 100 and HLTH 125 for this period only. However, these courses must be completed before the hiring process is completed or the applicant will not be considered.
All recruitments after the fall 2013 recruitment will require ENG 100 and HLTH 125 course completions as an application prerequisite.


PASA's Ally Howe finished 18th overall in the 200 fly on the first day of the USA Junior National Swimming championships at Stanford on Monday. Photo by Allie Shorin.
While Emma Schoettmer was making waves with her record-setting 200 breast, a handful of Palo Alto Stanford swimmers were also making their own waves at the Speedo USA Junior National Swimming Championships being held at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center.
Schoettmer, who swims for the Center Grove Aquatic Club, became the major star of Monday's competition, setting a meet record in her event with a time of 2:27.99. The lightning-fast pace gave Schoettmer a nearly three-second victory over the field.
It's been an interesting two weeks for Schoettmer, who finished sixth in the USA Swimming National Championships last week, and who moved into the lead during the final 100 meters. She improved her time from last week by one-hundreth of a second.
With most of the top swimmers scratching from the day's events following a grueling national championship run, no local swimmer reached the podium on the first day of competition. There were, however, Ally Howe and Byron Sanborn of Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and Jack Lane and Ben Holston, both incoming freshmen swimmers at Stanford.
All four swam in one of the consolation finals and all four swam qualifying times to earn a spot in next year's Olympic Trials, with will be held in Omaha.
Howe and Lane each qualified in their respective 200 fly finals. Howe went 2:16.25 in the 'B' final to finish 18th overall, while Lane swam a 2:03.04 in the 'B' final to finish 13th overall. Sanborn beat the qualifying time in the 200 breast by .06 seconds and Holston closed strong in the 1,500 free.
Holston finished 16th overall, propelling himself to a qualifying time with a 30.37 final lap, his fastest by nearly two seconds. He finished the race in 15:52.31. Mission Viejo took the top two spots on the podium, with Janardan Burns and Logan Redondo finishing 15:34.36 and 15:37.74, respectively.
Lane finished third in the 'B' final of the 200 fly, after being unable to hang on to an early lead in the race. Lane's first lap of 27.04 seconds set the pace. He eventually fell behind winner Marco Bove and runner-up Carlos Omana, losing by 1.11 seconds.
Sanborn closed strong to improve two spots in the final 100 meters of his 200 breast race and placed fifth in the consolation final. He posted a time of 2:20.73, slightly more than two seconds behind heat-winner Eric Holden of the SoNoCo Swim Club, who went 2:18.54.
Howe was PASA's first competitor of the day and relied on a fast start to finish eighth in the women's 200 fly consolation final with a time of 2:16.25. Connie Hsu of the Wheaton Swim Club took the heat, finishing more than two and a half seconds faster than Howe at 2:13.63.
Elsewhere, Courtney Weaver of the Flint 'y' Falcons edged Kara Kopcso in the closest finish of the day, taking the championship of the 200 fly by two-tenths of a second.
Clark Smith and William Licon earned championships in the men's 200 fly and 200 breast, respectively, while 14-year-old Kathleen Ledecky took the title in the women's 800 free.


The Landmark Gallery in the Chicago Cultural Center suffers from an ambiguous identity as both a gallery and a corridor. It is too wide to be a hallway and too narrow to comfortably view exhibitions. This project for the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial creates an enfilade of small galleries, which are conducive to viewing small or detailed works that might be overwhelmed by the Cultural Center's main galleries.
The new rooms are defined by four heavy walls that step diagonally. The freestanding walls are made of structural glazed tile—a material commonly used in train stations, public schools, rec centers, and other municipal buildings—in two colors, with the seam between the two set at eye level. The tile and the enfilade layout, which has been a defining form of museums and urban corridors for centuries, underscore the Cultural Center's unique convergence of fine arts and public works.

Jerry Carter began designing and building releases decades before he started full time production of what people have grown to know Carter for. As an avid archery himself, Jerry understood that not all archers have the same needs and feel. He believed there needed to be a choice. A choice for what felt natural in your hand. It was this understanding and his insatiable drive to make a better release aid that conceived Carter Enterprises. No matter which discipline or archery you participate in, Jerry had designed a product for you what just feels good. What makes Carter the best product on the market is the understanding for the need of different angles, sizes and types of releases to allow every archer the most comfortable and consistent shot imaginable. Jerry knows that the release is the most critical piece of your archery equipment and he started designing them himself because he just wasn't happy with what was available.
Carter Enterprises began from a passion to improve the world of archery. It is our mission to help you share that same passion.
That is why Carter is "Accuracy Defined Through Design".


Can it really be that long ago? It feels like five minutes; it feels like 150 years. That's what some birthdays are like, I guess, and the one this week felt like that.
Jul. 21, 2014 8:23 p.m.
You see, several centuries ago, long before I met my Better Half, and way long before the Rotten Kids arrived kicking and screaming into life's complicated carnival of hopes and dreams, I had a birthday — a 21st birthday — and it was one of those milestones you don't forget, even several centuries later.
I've been lucky on account of the birthday gods rolled the dice and it turned out my B-Day would always fall exactly when the Red Deer Fair (now "updated" to Westerner Days) came to town.
And since I was one of those kids who experienced the fair as a rose-coloured magical time in one's rich pageant of growing up, to have a birthday and the fair all simultaneously and serendipitously — well it was truly transcendent. Or, put another way: totally awesome, man!
I only remember two things vividly about that 21st birthday. I recall quite clearly that oddly enough, among the other forgotten things, I received a large pair of binoculars and an ornate curved knife in a sheath, which took me a while to figure out was a letter opener.
In those days, turning 21 was kind of a big deal — this was before somebody somewhere declared that 18-year-olds were suddenly adults and somehow old enough to rabblerouse in a bar — so I was sort of expecting a gold watch or a plaque or something.
I mean, I thought every 21-year-old received such epic recognition from the universe itself.
I remember at the time wondering if my dear old Mom and Dad were sending me some kind of subliminal message about looking ahead or going away somewhere where they could send me letters.
It turned out they just thought I'd like and use the binoculars and the letter opener, and all these 150 years and five minutes later I still, in fact, use them both. As usual, they were right.
The other thing I remember like it was yesterday — as opposed to 15,330 yesterdays (I did the math) — was the grandstand show at the fair.
It was by definition, outdoors, with a humongous set of wooden bleachers under a humongous roof in front of an entertainment stage.
The Red Deer Fair had one in spades at the old Arena fairgrounds near my family's old house in Parkvale, and I suppose today's equivalent would be the Centrium at Westerner Park, where bands and circuses come to play.
I scribbled about this exact topic in my very first summer writing this column, and since this is my fifth summer of ramblings, raves and ridiculous notions I thought I'd revisit one of my favourite columns.
It's my 21st birthday. Our eight-piece rock and soul band, Gaetz Ave. Dance Band, is the opening act at — you guessed it — the Red Deer Fair Grandstand Show.
And when I hauled my skinny long-haired self up on that stage, and the lights were on us, and the grandstand was jammed-packed full of a sea of faces, I stopped for a moment and looked around.
I was thinking seriously about fainting right then and there, but when I settled behind my drum set I caught a glimpse of a sight I'd only seen at one of our concerts once before.
I don't know how I spotted them, what with the lights and the excitement, but there they were — Row 5, Seats 21 and 22.
My Mom and Dad, not ones to go to big events, were there in the grandstand, to surprise me. I could see their smiles all the way from my spot on the stage.
We started to play and it felt hyper-real and surreal all at the same time. In the moment, in the music — but all the while, I'm 21-years-old but I'm re-living the magic and the mayhem that the fair and the grandstand and the old fairgrounds and Parkvale gave me every single summer as a kid.
And when our first song ended and the crowd applauded and kept applauding, I looked over to the north from the stage.
I could clearly see our old house in Parkvale, the house that we had moved away from a half dozen years before, and there was a light burning in my old upstairs window. For a moment, I wondered if a kid was glued to that window. Watching. Like I used to. Knowing that anything is possible at the fair.
I hope so, I thought to myself. I hope so.
So when birthdays are coming and going as fast and furious as a spinning Tilt-A-Whirl, you have to grab on to the moment and a memory or two, because you never know how long the ride's going to last or when the music is going to stop.
