(Deerfield Beach, Florida, December 13, 2013) – A-PRO (Aero Precision Repair and Overhaul) today unveiled a $1,000,000 renovation and streamlining operation that will enhance the business's capabilities and improve both the quality and timeliness of service for its global customer base. A-PRO overhauls landing gear and components for general aviation, commercial aviation and military customers around the world.
"A-PRO has been a part of the Deerfield Beach community for nearly a quarter of a century. To underscore our commitment to both the local community as well as to our many customers across the globe, we've made significant capital investments to our facility and processes that will not only improve our ability to serve our customers, but will help us to continue to be competitive, profitable and successful in the years to come," said Darren Burge, A-PRO President.
Among the many improvements is a complete reorganization of the facility's production flow to improve turnaround time. Modern vertical storage systems free up existing space and make access to supplies more convenient. Upgraded, more expansive paint systems have been installed that are more efficient and safer for employees, in addition to new air handling equipment that improves air quality in the facility. Reorganization in the machine shop allows multiple machines to be used by a single operator while simultaneously increasing job efficiency.

Talking About the Bear in Estonian Art
Peeter Talvistu
Estonian Art 18/1
In October and November of last year, Tartu simultaneously hosted two solo exhibitions in different venues. Overtly political, both dealt with subconscious fears of the large neighbour to the east, Russia. Although art in Estonia is constantly exploring society and politics, most of it looks at the state itself and investigates themes that affect artists. Tanja Muravskaja's photo installation "Hero" (Tartu Art House, 19 October – 12 November 2017, exhibition design by Yevgeni Zolotko, curated by Indrek Grigor) and Art Allmägi's installation "Paint It Black II" (Tartu Art Museum, 29 September 2017 – 14 January 2018, curated by Joanna Hoffmann) were noteworthy exceptions in Estonia's general artistic practice and made up a complementary tandem that, as their greatest common denominator, emanated a sense of chilling dread.
New Fairy Tales
For his part, Art Allmägi continues the programmatic approach seen in his previous projects: his first two exhibitions were studies in white – "Cold War" at Draakoni Gallery (2014) and the exhibit of the Köler Prize nominees in the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (2016) – followed by a pair of "black" exhibitions, both titled "Paint It Black," the first instalment of which was also held at Draakoni Gallery (spring 2017). Draakoni Gallery's strategic location, across from the Russian Embassy, (which the artist himself saw in a dream-like apparition) has symbolic importance. In the first 'white project', Allmägi displayed a work that depicted the mutual surveillance known from the Cold War era, which in one way reflects the romanticism of spy stories but also the current political reality's silent stand-off; the second project involved a public critique of the politics practised by the embassy in the neighbouring building. Its theme was the annexations carried out by the 'little green men' – irregular troops – and war, in which young men, despite their fatal bullet wounds, were listed on their death certificates as succumbing to heart attacks while on holiday, with their families unable to air their suspicions for fear of forfeiting their hush money. The context behind the exhibitions centres on the events in Eastern Ukraine, the discussion page of its Wikipedia ("War in Donbass") is mainly preoccupied with the topic of how to label the conflict (the alternatives are "Russia-Ukraine War", "Ukrainian Civil War" and "Counter-terrorism Operation in Ukraine"). During the outbreak of the conflict, Estonian military institutions considered it very likely that Crimea was only a smokescreen for the annexation of the Baltics.
While the action in Allmägi's installation takes place in the dead of night, and the weapons sound silent salutes, Muravskaja has created a monument to heroes whose deaths have not yet been engraved in stone. Her earlier works that address nationalism made up a specific ensemble: "Positions" (2007), "They, Who Sang Together" (2008), "The Estonian Race" (2010) and, in principle, "Lucky Losers" (2009). At her previous solo exhibition in Tartu "Split Mind" (2010) she showed a video with the same title in which she destroyed the first works, giving the series a symbolic final act. Of her previous works, only the installation "Monuments" (2008) dealt with Eastern politics. It consisted of only a pile of limestone and a pile of glass, and was clearly inspired by the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn and the events that took place in Tallinn in the spring of 2007. Public unrest including rioting and looting took place in Tallinn on the 26–29 April 2007, mainly involving young Russian speaking Estonians which was sparked by the Estonian government's botched attempt to remove a monument from the city centre, that extolled the Red Army (Soviet Forces) as liberators of the city. Russian state interests were mainly believed to be behind the organizing of the riots, which were in large part a prelude to the Kremlin's ensuing politics.
Muravskaya took her next steps toward a more personal and political approach in the exhibition "Three Sisters" (2015), which dealt with conflict in the Ukraine through the lens of family tragedy – families pulled apart by different political views and everyday realities. It should undoubtedly be mentioned at this point that Muravskaja's grandparents' home (she herself grew up in Pärnu) is located in this indistinctly defined conflict zone in Eastern Ukraine. "Hero" (2017) looks to the future, where the events that both Allmägi and the heads of Estonian armed forces have theorized about have become reality. In the portraits, members of the Estonian Defence League youth organisation (Young Eagles) and NATO troops providing military deterrence have similarly resolute but strange looks in their eyes: it's as if they know something that is still a secret to us, the observers.
A Treasury of Fairy Tales
Even though the approach to international politics in these two exhibitions (and more broadly in the two artists' overall work) is relatively uncommon in Estonian art, there are nevertheless a few examples from other earlier artworks. Surprisingly, artist Neeme Külm, whom we are used to associating with space-twisting works of institutional criticism, has dealt with Russian themes on two occasions: in 2008 he and the architects Maarja Kask and Ralf Lõoke built the yellow gas pipelines linking the Russian and German pavilions at the Venice Architecture Biennale's Giardini, and in 2006 he put on a performance, "Beslan", in which he carried a wooden casket lid past the Russian Embassy to memorialise the victims of the hostage tragedy in Beslan.
Besides Muravskaja's "Monument" (2008), a haunting commentary on Bronze Night – the aforementioned riots of April 2007 in Tallinn – was offered by artist Mark Raidpere (the two-channel video "Majestoso Mystico", 2007), where news footage from Tallinn is accompanied by Stockholm street musicians who perform a Howard Shore melody from the film "Silence of the Lambs". Continuing the commentary on the topic, in 2009 Kristina Norman's work that represented Estonia at that year's Venice Biennale (her installation "After War") included a life-size golden replica of the Bronze Soldier statue, which was considered of such watershed significance that Kiasma (art museum in Helsinki) acquired the work. There are a few other individual examples where foreign policy is explored, for example, in a number of Peeter Allik's works, but always with black humour.
It seems that Johannes Saar was correct when, in an article about Neeme Külm published on the Center for Contemporary Arts, Estonia website, he mentioned the "apolitical discourse" of the 1990s, for the favourite topic of Estonian art in the last few decades has time and again been The Artist. Jaan Toomik is living proof of the above: after two works from the restoration of independence period "My Dick is Clean", with Vano Allsalu, 1989, where the artist walked along Prague's Charles Bridge, carrying the slogan in the title, refusing to take responsibility for Soviet crimes, and the 1993 installation "Bed 75", during which 75 Russian military beds were laid out on Freedom Square, which has always been the epicentre of (military) parades, the questions he poses in his video works and paintings have mainly been addressed to himself.
Defensive Words
So why are two young artists like Tanja Muravskaja and Art Allmägi dealing with this topic? In one sense, it seems to come from their own backgrounds: the Muravskaja family is from Ukraine and the fact that Allmägi works for the Defence League is equally important. After all, blood is memory, and the environment makes the man! In a recent conversation with Muravskaja[1], with the art historian Indrek Grigor brought up the subconscious fears of the last Soviet generation: although the most active nuclear war rhetoric was in the past by the 1980s, gas masks were still lying around in every school for years after that, capitalism was still bad, and the lead-in music to the pan-Soviet evening news Vremya was stuck in everyone's head.
It's no wonder that now, at a time when spy scandals are flaring up, armed soldiers appear on the streets of Estonian cities with fighter planes overhead, and there is again talk of the division of the world into spheres of influence and deterring the enemy, these memories are climbing out of the back of our minds and into the daylight again. This is a generation for whom the fears of the Cold War were not daily ones – the real "duck and cover" mushroom-cloud video era was long past, but the things our parents subconsciously left unsaid and the silent glances they exchanged seeped into our inner being just as deeply. To be able to function on a daily basis, we have to release the tensions with a scream – and that is exactly what the Allmägi and Muravskaja works do. These exhibitions are cathartic for the artists, but it's very clear that viewers need them, too. Entering the exhibition hall, we can say, "What do you know, I'm not the only one who's afraid of dark figures running across the fields in the night" or "Someone else besides me is thinking about the time when the gravestones of new heroes will be lining the roadsides". The other possibility is that this is yet another deterrence tactic: reality can never copy art. Even if you bring a bear into a fairy tale, the story will, as always, have a happy ending.

February is Heart and Stroke month and we pray for all those families dealing with issues of the heart. Our hearts are more than pumps, our hearts are also powerful symbols of life and love. The Holy Spirit gives gifts into our hearts calling each of us to live in joy and service to God, others and our world. Even as a child Jesus was dedicated to God too.
This past Saturday was the Feast of The Presentation of The Lord. In Luke's gospel (Luke 2:22ff), we see Jesus presented and dedicated to God in the Temple. In the Temple, an older couple, Simeon and the prophet Anna, recognize him and Mary and Joseph were amazed. In Jesus, God's heart came into our world and into us in a new way.

This past Saturday was the Feast of The Presentation of The Lord. In Luke's gospel (Luke 2:22ff), we see Jesus presented and dedicated to God. In the Temple, Simeon and the prophet Anna, who had foretold Jesus coming, recognize and affirmed him. Mary and Joseph marveled at their pronouncements but "when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. And the Child [Jesus] grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon Him." God's heart was in our world and eventually us in a new intimate way.
Jesus, when you were presented in the temple that day, the prophecies of old began to unfold. You became known to the Jews and non-Jews alike.
even when life becomes difficult.
May our hearts rejoice in and share your love.
Together with Anna and Simeon we move into our day in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.


My one-woman play, Sister, premiered in New York City at Dixon Place last week and WOW it feels good! The rehearsal process was short, the subject matter is highly highly personal and vulnerable, and I hadn't performed a play in over 4 years, so needless to say it was quite intense. There have been times with this project that I have been so paralyzed with fear that I've thought I couldn't go on with it. Even as I was taking a bow I still had doubts. But I stayed with that fear and did it anyway, thank goodness. Very very glad that I did.
This is the life of an artist! Idea, manifestation of idea, doubt, risk (performance), brief moment of joy and satisfaction followed by doubt, repeat. On and on.
The future of Sister is bright! I'll be applying for grants to take this show on the road hopefully to another American city and then to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next August. Thank you to everyone, especially Seonjae Kim, my co-creator, director, and dear friend, for making this happen. I'd also like to thank Talia Feldberg for assistant directing, Lucie Fleming for her very important secret special role that she played, and Walls Trimble for snapping some gorgeous production photos (and my new headshots). What talented, open-hearted, fierce artists! I'm very lucky and very grateful. Onward!

Big data as a business topic shows no signs of cooling off. And many of its proponents welcome what they consider to be long overdue attention to the idea of running your business on evidence. And the message is not one for IT but for all managers. Philip Kotler has said that marketing "is becoming a battle based more on information than on sales power." But.. hype brings with it a threat of desensitisation. Does data really matter to little old us? In short, yes. The message we've been hearing is that analytics is as much about small data – the untapped data flying around in your own business right now – as it is about big data. More importantly, the challenge is not the technology (according to the analysts it's been lying in wait for a while) – it is in learning how to ask the right questions of your data, and reacting accordingly to the answers you receive.
But where to start? Enter the "Data Doc", Dr. Thomas C. Redman, bestselling Harvard Business Review author, President of Navesink consulting and all-round data evangelist. He was at IMI's National Management Conference earlier this month (see our twitter feed for the live stream) and we have seized the opportunity to have him prescribe us our data medicine.
Irish Management Institute: Amidst the hype of big data and data analytics – give us six words that outline the real imperative for business as you see it.
TR: Learn To Compete With Data. Now!
TR: It's pretty simple really.There is a lot of buzz about analytics, big data, data-driven companies, and the like. Deservedly so. These concepts lie at the core of a "data revolution" that will touch every industry, every company, every department, and every job. But they are not enough. Simply having a bright idea, from some clever big data analysis is only step one. You have to turn that idea into an advantage.
Further, big data is not for everyone. But there are plenty of ways to leverage small data to create advantage. I'm taken by the potential in simply improving data quality. And in providing better content through becoming more information-based.
And of course the trick is not to do any of this once, but to use data on a consistent, long-term way. Organizations have to figure out what's right for them–hence the focus on learning in my six words!
TR: My recent HBR blog post Bridging the Gap between IT and your Business – and my website www.dataqualitysolutions.com.
So, in summary, you should believe the big data hype – but don't feel it's relevant only to others. You need to make it part of your competitive strategy now. Our advice? Before you even ask about the technology, spend some time considering: what is the question that you want to ask the data? And are you ready to react when you get it?
If you're interested in learning about how to compete on big data and data analytics see the UCC/IMI Diploma in Data Business and Diploma in Cloud Strategy (which starts on 20th November). If your focus is on marketing the Diploma in Marketing Strategy with Digital Marketing focusses on how analytics and digital strategies can transform your approach.

Once again the Killing Time community brain trust has gathered and in a slew of votes (one shy of the most ever for a poll) decided which character was the best in Star Wars Clone Wars. The answer surprised me, but pleased me also because it was a character created for the show and whose narrative arguably drove the show to the extent that any one person did. Your choice for best character is: Anakin's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.
Usually we let a little time breathe between polls, but KTer #1 Broham came up with a very cool idea to honor the debut of Clone Wars on Netflix today. What is the best character from the Star Wars Clone Wars series? Not the best overall throughout the saga. Which character was enhanced the most, had the most cool moments, best episodes and story arcs? Who had so much added to their character that it will change how you view them in the films (if they've made it there yet)? You have a feature film and six seasons of Star Wars Clone Wars action to get to, so hop to it! You're in for a treat (just skip the Jar Jar episodes; we all do). If you watch it all the way through, you'll be amazed at the evolution of the animation style and realism to the point where the space battles in season six equal any in the films. Go get your Force on and vote for your favorite character! Spread the word amongst your geeky Force-powerful friends and let's break the record Disney set for most votes in the next month of this poll! One more teaser to get you stoked: Clone Wars show runner Dave Filoni says the impact of the close of the series will not only change how you view the show but how you watch the films. Get going!
Courtesy of CloneWarsFanJedi comes this fantastic top 10 video of the best lightsaber duels from the Clone Wars animated series. A lot of fans might dismiss the series out of hand because it is animated and, admittedly, a lot of the the first season they were finding their legs, but this grew into a seriously worthy addition to the canon. One of the best things about the show as that lightsaber duels could go completely off the wall because they weren't constricted by anything. These are Jedi and Sith in their prime fighting each other and some truly epic duels resulted. The one in season five between Sidious, Maul and Savage is one of my favorite from anything Star Wars. Enjoy this (it's a lunchtime viewing at 24 minutes) and look forward to the finale of Clone Wars and the upcoming Star Wars: Rebels from the same team.


One good example is of matrix multiplication. The other one is of grid solver, where the data was stored as blocks instead of row-wise.
In assignment2, CUDA circle render, one optimization we use is to replace global memory with shared memory since the former is allocated on heap and the later is allocated on stack.
The size of tmp_buf in convolution example is another case where we considered cache locality as we designed the code.

Antauro Igor Humala Tasso (Lima, 29 de junio de 1963) es un exmilitar, escritor, y político peruano, líder y fundador del movimiento etnocacerista, un colectivo polémico por su exaltación de la identidad peruana, el irredentismo, el antichilenismo radical y el ultranacionalismo.

Encabezó el Levantamiento de Locumba junto a su hermano Ollanta Humala, en el cual pedían la renuncia del presidente Alberto Fujimori, tras su segunda reelección. También lideró el Andahuaylazo, sublevación militar por la cual permaneció en prisión desde el 3 de enero de 2005 hasta el 20 de agosto de 2022.

Biografía
Anaturo Igor Humala Tasso (Antauro Humala) nació en Lima, el 29 de junio de 1963. Hijo de los abogados Isaac Humala y Elena Tasso. Es hermano del expresidente Ollanta Humala y de Ulises Humala.

Estudió en el Colegio Franco-Peruano de la ciudad de Lima y en el Colegio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes del Cuzco. Ingresó a la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina en la carrera de Ingeniería Agrónoma.

Carrera militar
En 1979, ingresó a la Escuela Militar de Chorrillos. Egresó en la promoción 1985 "Héroes de Concepción". Fue jefe de patrulla en la lucha antisubersiva en la década de 1980. Participó como capitán tomando parte en las operaciones bélicas de 1995 durante la Guerra del Cenepa. Demostró ser un destacado militar, tal es así que en 1997 asciende a Mayor del Ejército del Perú.

Ingresó a la Escuela Superior de Guerra del Ejército y se desempeñó como Oficial Mayor del Instituto Sanmartiniano del Perú.

Levantamiento de Locumba
El 29 de octubre de 2000, junto a su hermano Ollanta y al frente de 69 reservistas (en su mayoría veteranos de la guerra contra Ecuador y de la lucha contra Sendero Luminoso), asaltó una instalación minera en Locumba (Tacna) para exigir la renuncia del entonces presidente Alberto Fujimori. Ese mismo día, el asesor presidencial Vladimiro Montesinos se fugaba del país a bordo del velero Karisma.

Tras el asalto, realizado cuando el régimen de Fujimori estaba en plena crisis, el grupo sublevado recorrió los Andes peruanos denunciando la ilegalidad de Fujimori y reivindicando la "dignidad" de las Fuerzas Armadas peruanas, según él y su hermano, en manos de jefes militares corruptos. Tras un mes de marcha y sufrir la deserción de un gran número de sus seguidores, aceptó la amnistía que el gobierno transitorio de Valentín Paniagua les ofreció si deponían las armas.

Andahuaylazo

El 1 de enero de 2005, a dos días del pase a retiro de su hermano Ollanta, protagonizó un nuevo motín denominado Andahuaylazo, esta vez contra el presidente Alejandro Toledo, en la ciudad de Andahuaylas. Humala asaltó una comisaría con un grupo de hombres armados y pretendió la renuncia del presidente y la restitución de la Constitución de 1979. Al respecto, Antauro Humala señaló lo siguiente:

Finalmente, fue capturado y sus huestes depusieron las armas por orden suya el 4 de enero. Durante su asalto murieron cuatro policías y dos de sus reservistas. Fue capturado y llevado a la cárcel de Piedras Gordas, al norte de Lima.

En 2009 Antauro Humala recibió condena de 25 años por distintitos delitos con el que fue acusado de cometer en dicha rebelión. en la comisaría de Andahuaylas, entre otros cargos. Esta condena fue  revisada por la Corte Suprema del Perú en el 2011, para reducirla a 19 años de prisión efectiva en la que fue aprobada.

Polémica por resultados de exámenes balísticos
En febrero de 2015, un informe de la Dirección de Criminalística de la Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP) sobre los cuerpos de los 4 agentes del orden fallecidos en esta asonada, indican que los balazos que causaron su muerte, vinieron de arriba y por detrás, mientras que el grupo insurgente de Antauro Humala estaba adelante. Ya se inició una investigación de dichas afirmaciones.

Prisión y pedido de amnistía y liberación

En agosto de 2011 se inició el debate político sobre su amnistía, beneficio que apoyaron dos congresistas de Gana Perú, el segundo vicepresidente Omar Chehade y el entonces ministro de defensa Daniel Mora. Al respecto, Antauro comentó: La mesa está servida para mi salida..

Aunque el tema es polémico, el diario El Comercio, en su editorial del 26 de diciembre de 2012, titulado El papel lo aguanta todo, describe los hechos por los cuales Antauro Humala está sentenciado y se declara en contra del borrador para declarar fundado un recurso de habeas corpus presentado por el abogado del encarcelado.

En septiembre de 2019, presentó ante el Instituto Nacional Penitenciario del Perú (INPE) su solicitud de libertad condicional, quien purga una condena de 19 años de cárcel en el penal Virgen de la Merced de Chorrillos.

Fue condenado inicialmente a 25 años de prisión al ser acusado por diversos delitos cometidos en el Andahuaylazo. En 2011 la Corte Suprema redujo su pena a 19 años tras una revisión del caso, sin embargo el 19 de agosto del 2022, el INPE ordenó su liberación tras haberse cumplido su pena, por el beneficio penitenciario por reducción de pena por días de estudio y trabajo a la cual Antauro se acogió saliendo así al día siguiente. Posteriormente anunció su interés de postular en las elecciones presidenciales.

Carrera política

Postuló al Congreso de la República por la circunscripción de Lima en las Elecciones Generales de 2006, como candidato del partido Avanza País.

En octubre del 2018 fundó el Frente Patriótico. En junio del 2019 Antauro Humala lo oficializa.

A lo largo de su trayectoria ha sido director del Diario Nuevo Sol, Periódico Ollanta y autor de cuatro libros, en los que destaca De la guerra etnosanta a la iglesia Tawantinsuyana.

En las elecciones congresales del 2020, se unió con el partido político Unión por el Perú obteniendo un total de 13 escaños a nivel nacional.

Candidatura presidencial e ideología
Tras su liberación en 2022, mantuvo la ideología nacionalista, en que señaló que para su posterior campaña presidencial «[sometemos] a las reglas del Estado de derecho corrupto con su juez y su pelota y le pensamos golear». Aunque IDL califica al partido político de «fascismo andino», en una entrevista a Infobae en 2022, Humala describe lo que se diferencia su partido:

Su movimiento se ha postulado como antifascista, anticapitalista y anticomunista, empleando el término de tercera posición para calificarse. Algunos analistas han señalado las semejanzas entre el etnocacerismo con el nazismo.

Entre otras posturas están en reemplazar la Constitución de 1993 debido a que «protege los intereses del capital del extranjero», apoyar la pena de muerte contra los acusados de corrupción, y expropiar los canales de televisión nacionales operados por empresas comerciales y transferir a organizaciones públicas. Además considera a sus «candidatos cobrizos» Pedro Castillo y Alejandro Toledo como «escasamente corrupto y millonariamente corrupto» respectivamente. Durante su recorrido acusó al Congreso de un proyecto de ley para impedir a los acusados de homicidio de postular y sarcásticamente agradeció a Jorge Montoya y José Cueto por motivar un «posible cierre» del Parlamento.

El 11 de septiembre Antauro Humala regreso a Andahuaylas luego de 17 años de los acontecimientos del Andahuaylazo, llegó vestido de militar y realizó un recorrido por varios puntos de la ciudad, entre ellos, la comandancia policial que capturó en 2005. En ese momento fue seguido por simpatizantes en el centro de la ciudad. Ante las denuncias de corrupción contra Pedro Castillo, Antauro Humala manifestó que «si se vuelve un presidelincuente le toca su golpe de Estado».

En enero de 2023, en presencia de un dilema Humala dio un giro político luego de reconocer la presidencia de Dina Boluarte el 10 de diciembre de una «izquierda moderada» y salir abucheado por manifestantes; se refirió a Sendero Luminoso, una organización armada maoísta que previamente había protagonizado el conflicto armado interno por realizar atentados muy brutales contra la población, como lo «mejor que ha dado la izquierda, desde Pizarro hasta ahorita», dicho que conllevó a la denuncia de la Procuraduría Antiterrorismo el 27 de enero.

Q: How to activate sh DTrace Provider? I've found out about patches (and updates) for an x86 sh binary in 2007 to support sh DTrace provider.
However I can't find any probes on OS X. I'm checking by:
$ sudo dtrace -l | grep command-entry

See: /bin/sh DTrace Provider at Oracle site (same article on blog)
Maybe because my sh is the same as GNU bash?
$ /bin/sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin15)

Where these probes were implemented, how I can find them or how I can activate them?
Were there only implemented on Solaris?

A: I never added it to the bourne shell in a public Solaris (although I got the PSARC approval for it) as while testing I found some major performance hits in the way that the bourne shell forks. In order to address this I'd have to migrate it to using posix_spawn(). Given that we were moving away from using this shell in Solaris 11, this was an amount of work that would have been pretty fruitless. I haven't given up on going to other shells, but it's not one of my immediate priorities.
Moving the probes to another shell should be pretty painless, except for deciding what to return as the prior value in "variable-assign", when we have compound variables.

A: The patches you refer to were specific to the bourne shell on Solaris, and as far as I know nothing like it has ever been ported to other shells.
In the illumos (née OpenSolaris) commit history, we can see that /bin/sh was changed to be a symlink to ksh93 in commit ead1f93 on March 2, 2010. Considering that Alan's blog post is dated 2007, this wasn't included in Solaris 10, at least not initially since Solaris 10 was released in 2005. It may be in one of the updates post 2007 but I sort of doubt it. From the existing code, I can't even find what provided /bin/sh before the switch to ksh, which might mean it was one of the closed bits.
Either way, it was never part of any illumos release and I don't see any references to dtrace probes for command-entry in the illumos commit history. Unless Alan or somebody else close to the matter can speak up, it's probably lost to time.
In summary, as near as I can tell these patches were never included in any released product from Sun or otherwise. It will almost certainly have to be reimplemented from scratch on any existing open source shell.

Lessons learned[edit]
What lessons were learned that may help others succeed in similar projects? Consider the following questions and respond with 1 - 2 paragraphs.
We had a very well implement exhibition in the Museo Universitario del Chopo during and after the awarding ceremony. This museum is one of the most renowned of Mexican capital in contemporary art and exhibitions, and it was very positive for the Wikimedia movement achieve these spaces with a talent show achieved through Wiki Loves Monuments. In addition, due to the agreement between WM-MX and Museo Universitario del Chopo, was possible insert within program of museum exhibitions (some are internationals and scheduled two years in advance) the WLM competition exhibition. The curatorial work (design and display assembly) was donated by the museum.
Until the date the report, the photos are still exhibited in schools of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute), the most important institution of technology in the country. The investment made in this exhibition grew to many months more than had been planned and we reach more delegaciones of Mexico City for spread the word of Wikimedia mission.
What did not go well?
Due to internal changes, the exhibition in the Mexico City Metro was not possible. After exposure at UAM Iztapalapa, we received the invitation of the Department of Cultural Diffusion of IPN to display photos in their schools all 2012, with the responsibility of the institute to manage spaces and the installation of the exhibition, and we change the original plan for the planned institutions. This meant to have more exposure in many places in Mexico City and reduce the volunteer time into institutional procedures and transportation costs covered by the volunteers themselves. From January 2013, the IPN was responsible for moving photos from school to school until September 2014 will continue to show in different facilities.
What would you do differently if you planned a similar project?
We need to print the next time twice the same pictures or think of a more durable material, because almost a year later, the photos are damaged (more in their corners) and it has been necessary to repair manually two times. Also, is recommended integrate within the cost any packaging to transport safely photos from venue to venue and transportation costs, due to the dimensions of the photos are hard to move into public transport.
Make agreements in advance for exhibitions. In the case of Mexico City Metro exhibition, one of the opportunities for reach more people, the officials who had committed to place the exhibition, were removed from their offices by internal changes. This is not under control of the chapter, but can be prevented by creating documents of commitment.
Project goal and measures of success[edit]
This section should reference the project goals and measures of success described in the approved grant submission. See Grants:PEG/Iván Martínez/Wiki Loves Monuments México exhibition to review the goals and metrics listed in the approved submission.
Project goal[edit]
Provide the project goal here.
Publicize the contest winning photos in public spaces.
Inspire other mexican photo lovers to participate in 2013
Spread awareness of the Creative Commons characteristics of the contest
Recognize the work of the winning photographers
Draw attention to the work of the volunteers behind Wikimedia, WLM and Wikimedia México.
Did you achieve your project goal? How do you know your goal was achieved? Please answer in 1 - 2 paragraphs.
We estimate the attendance of 32 persons to the award ceremony on November 28th, 2012, and the exhibition was visited by near to 150 to 200 people in the next days of exhibition. Unfortunately, the schools not have the ability to measure how many people visited the exhibition, as the staff is dedicated only to the surveillance of the facilities. At the opening in UAM Iztapalapa attend 48 students, in addition to the 4 officials who inaugurated the exhibition. An unofficial estimate is that in IPN were seen by between 800 and 1200 persons for each school. This is only an estimate and not to be taken into account as an official calculation. For an example, in ESIME attends 2,428 students daily and 98 teachers[1]. Considering 1 month and 22 business days, and for a estimation only 5% percent of the total attendance, 2778 persons possibly viewed the exhibition because they were exposed at sites of frequent traffic.
We have information that five volunteers and three participants of the tours in the next edition of 2013 previously viewed the exhibition in 2012.
In the initial information of the exhibition, was written the active role of Creative Commons licenses in the exhibition, as well as the value of Wiki Loves Monuments. At all times, the exhibition featured the logos of the competition, Wikipedia and Wikimedia Mexico. At the awards ceremony at the museum and opening at UAM Iztapalapa were mentioned the efforts of volunteers.
The exhibition was a succesfull way for publicize the contest winning photos of Wiki Loves Monuments, and inspire other mexican photo lovers to participate in 2013. It is not common visibilize the Wikimedia community effort outside the online environment and this is an example for increase the awareness in a project who is not Wikipedia.
This exhibition was an additional stimulus for the winners of 2012 contest. Some of them and their familiar goes to the exhibition to show their work.
Mexico City is huge. We reach with IPN an agreement for the transport and care of the exhibition to more Mexico City boroughs particularly those with less public art galleries and cultural activities like Gustavo A. Madero and Iztapalapa. In addition, in 2013 the institute was in charge of moving the photos, using less time and saving money from volunteers, who need to move in taxi or in a van due to the dimensions of the materials.
Measures of success[edit]
List the measures of success exactly as provided in the approved grant submission, and evaluate your project according to each measure listed there.
Number of visitors in each venue
Increasing the interest of more persons and institutions to having the exposition and in the contest in 2013.
Provide an overall assessment of how your project went according to these measures.
Done The exhibition was successful on the planned and non planned venues who are shown. We don't expect in the beginning place the photos more than 2013, and the exhibition is touring at the date of this report, among with the 2013 photos.
Done The contest between 2012 and 2013 increase into more volunteers, activities, sponsors and institutions involved. The award ceremony was held at Museo Universitario del Chopo again and the exhibition tour it happened again due to the success of 2012.
If you were to plan a similar project, would you measure it differently? If yes, please explain how.
Impact[edit]
This section ties this project to Wikimedia's broader goals, and shows what the project accomplished.
What impact did this project have on WMF's mission and the strategic goals? Please answer in 1 -2 paragraphs and include specific measures of impact such as the number of readers or editors reached by a particular project, or the number of articles edited or improved.
Stabilize infrastructure
«Spread information about Wikimedia's mission, vision, values and practices. Help people better understand our work, and motivate them to help us do it.»'
This is a different and artistic way to reach other audiences, through the sharing of photographic talent with free bases, who support in the growth of the Wikimedia mission through the preservation of monuments alongside in addition to the registration of mexican monuments. Wiki Loves Monuments in Mexico has been the practice of taking a good idea born in the Wikimedia movement and take it to the next level in order to get more outreach.
Increase participation
Trough this social and offline events, we get more cohesion and new challenges for the Wikimedia Mexico chapter community. In this project, some members increased their level of responsibility and leadership in the coordination of the activities necessary to perform successfully.
The challenges involved in the implementation of this project motivated the search for solutions by the chapter community and grow the capability on implementing proactive solutions to non-chapter issues.
Wikimedia Mexico reached the confidence of institutions to have alliances with them and made it possible this project.

The "Koffer" (bags/case/paniers?) sit along side to the rear shock absorbers without touching them.
Last pic shows some of my friends and at the right hand side it is my son Nils with his KTM RC125. Only ten days from now (today) and he will turn 18 !

Judge rules that Maine had no authority to lease public land for CMP corridor
by Michael Shepherd August 10, 2021 Updated August 11, 2021

AUGUSTA, Maine — A judge ruled on Tuesday that the administration of Gov. Janet Mills had no authority to enter a renegotiated public land lease at the heart of debate over the $1 billion hydropower corridor.
The decision from Maine Superior Court judge Michaela Murphy was expected after she issued an initial ruling in March that the state had to conduct further analysis of its lease of 33 state-owned acres in rural Somerset County that are being used to build the controversial western Maine corridor between the Quebec border and Lewiston.
It could give anti-corridor lawmakers their clearest path yet to hinder the project. While Central Maine Power Co. and Hydro-Quebec, which will supply the energy to the New England grid, could find another way to build through the area if the lease was lost, such a move could delay permitting with an anti-corridor referendum already set for the November ballot.
The land in question was initially leased to CMP in 2014 under former Gov. Paul LePage for $4,000 per year. On the same day that corridor critics filed a lawsuit challenging that lease, the Mills administration finalized a renegotiated lease with the utility and its partners that raised the fee to $65,000 per year. Both Mills, a Democrat, and LePage, a Republican, back the corridor.
At the heart of the lawsuit is whether those decisions reduced or substantially altered state lands. If they do, the Maine Constitution holds that both chambers of the Legislature must authorize leases by two-thirds votes.
Murphy found that the Bureau of Parks and Lands had no authority to enter either lease because the state must make a public determination of whether the leases in question fit that constitutional standard and allow the Legislature to exercise its discretion. That did not happen in either case, nor did the administrations ask lawmakers to weigh in.
If such a public process was not required, the constitutional provision "would be hollow and the Legislature's ability to discharge its constitutional duty would be undermined or thwarted," she said. The case is likely to be appealed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, the judge said in her ruling.
"We are reviewing the Superior Court's decision to determine our next steps on this matter," Thorn Dickinson, CEO and president of NECEC Transmission, the CMP affiliate building the corridor, said.
Sen. Rick Bennett, R-Oxford, who was one of the plaintiffs, said he hopes the Mills administration will "do the right thing and put the question to the Legislature." Both chambers passed a resolution from Bennett in July arguing the state needed to seek legislative approval. Those margins effectively guarantee that the lease would not win supermajorities.
"I think it will be very difficult to get a two-thirds vote of the Legislature," Bennett said, pointing to CMP's problems, including metering and billing anomalies. "I think they understand that so they're going to fight with every tooth and every nail in order to circumvent the Constitution."

We're partnering with Torus to bring you this review and giveaway about the new Torus auto-replenishing 1-liter water bowl. All opinions are our own.
Last weekend Rocco and I headed out for some fun agility practice with all the essentials plus a new water bowl we are trying out from Torus.
We know how important it is for both of us to have access to plenty of clean, fresh water. And it's extra important to stay hydrated if you're outside and active, even in the winter. So whenever we head out on an adventure we always take extra water for both of us.
Typically I'll bring a few bottles of water, a cooler and a bowl for Rocco. When we learned about Torus, it sounded like a great option whether we're planning a day of agility or a hike in the mountains.
The Torus water bowl is auto-replenishing, which means that as your pet drinks from it more water will flow in and fill up the bowl. We're using the 1-liter bowl (it also comes in a two-liter option) so the reservoir in our bowl holds more than four cups of water, plenty for a Rocco-sized dog!
As a general rule, dogs should drink about one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. Rocco weighs 13 pounds so he should drink about 13 ounces a day or about a cup and a half.
Before we left home, we filled the Torus water bowl with water and then put the valve in the locked position so that the water wouldn't flow out. Water is held in a hollow circular ring around the bowl so it stays cool, fresh and clean inside the vessel until you change the valve to the flow position.
Then, turn the valve to flow and voila! You have fresh, clean water anywhere, anytime! It's perfect for car travel and it's small enough to fit anywhere.
The Torus water bowl also comes with a replaceable carbon filter and it's BPA free, made with food-grade materials.
The water level in the drinking well is always high enough to allow easy drinking but low enough to minimize water spills and splashes.
Stored water is contained inside the Torus walls.
The filtered water flows out into the drinking well where it is kept at an optimum level.
It's also sturdy and stable, and because the water level stays low, water-loving pets like Rocco can't splash the water all over the kitchen floor!
If a water bowl isn't anchored to the floor in some way, Rocco will typically either decide to carry it around or shove it across the floor so that it splashes everywhere! So far, Rocco has done neither with the Torus. It's stable, compact and attractive enough to leave on the floor in the kitchen.
We love it! The Torus water bowl is perfect both at home and on the go!
The hardest part about the Torus was choosing which color to pick! It comes in red, blue, and charcoal in two sizes – 2-liters ($59.95) and 1-liter also in pink ($54.95). A five-month filter supply can also be purchased for $14.95 (the bowl comes with one filter that's good for a month). Torus comes with a 12-month warranty and doesn't require batteries or any other power source.
Enter for a chance to win a Torus water bowl!
Enter via the giveaway widget below for a chance to win a Torus water bowl in the size and color of your choice. U.S only. Good luck!
Love the blue bowl- great giveaway!
We love our Torus bowl!
We LOVE it! Thanks for the tip!
I would choose the charcoal one. I have four dogs and they are always making a mess. I love that the water stays low, but replenishes itself. My dachshunds would love drinking out of this!
I would choose the charcoal one! I would love this because my dog like to pick her water bowl up and dump it over. I don't know why, but it seems almost like a game to her! You refill it and clean up the mess and she will look at you and just tip it over again.
haha! Rocco does the same thing! The Torus should solve that problem!
Perfect for all your agility meets!
I'd choose red so it's easy to see on the grass.
I would choose the red because it would be easy to find. I need this for my two pups when we are on the road.
How cool that you have a Torus giveaway - I just learned about it over at SlimDoggy's last week and loved it!!! The pups & I would choose charcoal and the 2 liter option - it would come in super handy on car rides & on hikes. They weigh a combined 130 lb and drink quite a bit of water every day.
We are testing out these bowls too. Really great idea!
I'd choose blue for my picky drinker who only likes water cold and fresh.
I'd pick blue if I win. I have four rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds and transport rescue dogs n my minivan, so I always need water for the dogs.
They'd be good for hikes! I think blue or red.
I would choose the charcoal one. Our guys go through so much water it would be nice not to fill it up every 5 seconds!
That is a neat water bowl, but kind of pricey. Is it easy to wash?
It's been easy for me so far. They recommend you swish it out with soapy water and thoroughly rinse it. Then, every month they recommend using sterilizing tablets, such as those used for baby bottles. I haven't done that yet.
We would choose blue to match Fenris' eyes and we need a Torus for when we go walking on the beach.
Willow, Bella & Gypsy would love a Torus water bowl. It would be perfect for their active lifestyle. They too do agility like Rocco, hike in the park, travel all over in the car and even occassionally in planes. They think the blue is pretty.
Very cool bowl, I would love one of these for all the traveling we do to our events, we wouldn't have to worry about the water spilling.
My dog would love this! Would like charcoal.
I'd love this in charcoal!!!
Having 2 cats and one dog it would be nice to have a stable water bowl. Could also bring it to the park for Shunta. We like the red one.
i would love the blue bowl for my dog and his friends esp. in summer when they finish what's in his glass bowl now. Thanks for sharing.
I'd love to have this in blue and my dog would love to have this for road trips!
This would be perfect for road trips! I like the charcoal or blue color.
I like the red color, would be great for traveling.
I like the charcoal. My dog would love this!
I think the charcoal is perfect. This would be a great thing for my new golden puppy who loves to gulp down his water.
They all look good, but Blue would be best for us since we have males.
We would choose the pink...I like that it keeps water clean, fresh and cool on the go which is always a concern in the summer months.
My pooch would love the pink bowl. Actually, she just loves a full bowl of water and this one looks awesome.
I would love the red one and I need this in my multi cat household so they don't knock the water over.
I like the blue one!! Thank you for the chance.
I like the charcoal. I am always refilling the water bowl for my two dogs.
I'd get the red. This would be especially nice for my cat who always wants fresh, new water.
I would get the red for my dog...he'd love it.
I would pick red. This would be awesome for our walks!
This would be great when we're out at the park. I would pick the pink one.
our dog is named lady so i would choose the pink for her, she's a pink lady.
I'd pick pink, would be great help avoiding a mess.
I would choose the red. I would love to win this as our Rusty goes everywhere we go so he could use it at home as well as when we have to travel.
I would choose red and this would be great for when we take our dog camping!
my sister just got her first pug.This would be a great house warming gift for Bella.She would love the pink !
Cool bowl! I would pick red.
I would choose pink. no reason why.
I'd like charcoal. This would be perfect to use while traveling.
I would like blue. It would be great for when we travel.
I'd choose the red one. I need a Torus so that my dog can stay hydrated at my daughter's soccer games.


LANSING - Saul Anuzis still remembers stumbling upon the piece of local history where he and his wife Lina would build a life.
Anuzis discovered the 2,900-square-foot house along the Grand River 33 years ago, just months before the couple was married. He was leaving a fundraiser at a home just down the street when something caught his eye.
"I went down the lane and there was a very small 'For Sale' sign in the yard," Anuzis said.
The 1920s white waterfront house on Locust Lane in Lansing had been empty for three years.
Anuzis got out of his car and walked around the property, appreciating its back yard with 150 feet of river frontage, and peered in through the windows. Despite the warped wood floors and musty interior the home's charm and history was undeniable, he said.
It was once home to local businessman George Arbaugh, the son of Frank Arbaugh, who partnered with Basil Cameron to create F.N. Arbaugh Co., Lansing's largest department store in the early 1900s. George Arbaugh later took over the business for his father. It closed in the 1970s and the store on South Washington Avenue has since been renovated into apartments.
George Arbaugh built the house in the 1930s and lived there until the late 1950s.
The Anuzis family bought the property in 1985 for $105,000. They raised their four boys there, and spent seven years renovating the Arbaugh estate, slowly adding another 3,000 square feet of space to the original home, with one goal in mind.
"We wanted to showcase the river view," Anuzis said. "We have 150 feet at the widest part of the Grand River. It's a gorgeous location."
Today the home boasts 5,886 square feet of space with six bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and a finished lower level, all behind large, glass atrium-like windows at the rear of the house overlooking the water.
It's for sale for $849,900.
The estate has been on the market since May.
Anuzis, 59, and Lina are moving to Washington, D.C., where he's relocating for a job as president of the 60 Plus Association, a national nonprofit focused on issues facing senior citizens.
He's spent three decades in state politics, serving as chairman of Michigan's Republican Party from 2005 to 2009.
Anuzis was interested in the home, in part, because of its proximity to downtown Lansing and the state Capitol.
With its "cottage-like" front windows and spot along the Grand River, it was also a great place to raise children, he said.
"Even though we're in the middle of the city, it's a quiet place to live," Anuzis said.
The Anuzis family didn't initially intend to double the home's size. After moving in they consulted with a contractor about adding 350 square feet to the home's kitchen.
The contractor suggested they think bigger, and more long-term.
"He said, 'What do you really want?'" Saul Anuzis said.
So the couple built out a frame on both sides of the original structure.
"Slowly, as we could afford it, we started building," Anuzis said.
The couple refinanced the property a few times along the way, living in the original structure while they added a great room, formal living room, new kitchen and master bedroom.
"We basically added to both sides," Anuzis said. "It was project after project."
A room originally used for canning became a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, but a black and white bathroom upstairs, still Anuzis' favorite room, was preserved, as was the home's front entryway and an original fireplace on the first floor.
"I think if you saw it before, you'd come in and say, 'I can see where it came from,'" Anuzis said. "We tried to stay with the style."
The best thing about the house has always been its proximity to the water, Anuzis said. His family has launched boats into the water there and kayaked along their property.
Michigan State University's rowing team often practices along their property too.
The finished home, the one the Anuzis family created, became a popular spot for parties and family gatherings. Huge Christmas trees were erected in the family's great room and a human-sized chess set in the front yard provided entertainment while the couple's children were still at home.
Real estate agent Deborah Henry said the home offers privacy, among other things. It's one of just seven properties on the private lane. All but two of them were constructed by the Arbaugh family.
"It's just one of those properties that doesn't come on the market," Henry said. "It's unique, on the Grand River and eight minutes to MSU, less than 10 minutes to downtown Lansing."
Letting go of it isn't easy, Anuzis said.
"Our entire lives have been here. It was very hard to sell. It is one of those things that's bittersweet."


Although you may feel a strong connection and get along extremely well with your new boyfriend or girlfriend, you still need some concrete information. This information helps you nurture the connection with real facts and helps you get to know your new partner better, which is what you need for a healthy relationship. Asking the right questions helps you know what you're getting into. When you are able to see your partner's perspective and how they handle things, you can be more confident about the future of your relationship.
Asking the right questions can predict a long relationship.
Hypothetical, harmless questions are fun because they show parts of your partner's personality that would not usually present themselves. For example, you can ask, "Would you rather be a penguin or a turtle?" then ask why. These are fun because they don't ultimately mean anything, they stimulate conversation and they give you interesting insights into what kind of person you're dating.
"What if?" questions are also fun. You could ask, "What if you won the lottery? What would you do with the money?" These questions stimulate conversation and teaches you what kind of person you're dating. "I would spend it all on the party of the century" reveals a very different personality than "I would put it in my retirement fund and never touch it until I turn 65."
Questions about someone's past are best asked when the topic presents itself naturally. For example, a person writing about long-distance relationships could use that opportunity to ask his nearby girlfriend if she's ever been in a long-distance relationship. This lets you learn more about the person you're dating without making her feel like she's being grilled.
People's plans for their futures also reveal a great deal about them. This is another situation in which you should let topics rise naturally. If, for example, you're reading an article about small-business owners, you could ask your boyfriend if he would ever want to own his own business. If you see a family with kids, you could ask your girlfriend if she would ever want kids. By easing into these questions through the things around you, you keep it light, casual and fun rather than making your partner feel like he's on the spot all the time.

Newcastle's Aidan Guerra has been stretchered from the field with a suspected broken ankle following a gruesome accident late in his side's clash against Manly.
The Knights had mounted a brave comeback, threatening to catch the Sea Eagles in the dying moment of Saturday night's fixture at McDonald Jones Stadium, when Guerra innocuously went down.
Play continued as he lay on the turf wincing, and upon replay the source of Guerra's pain soon became apparent.
Attempting to make a tackle while changing direction, the forward's ankle folded under him seemingly snapping backwards as it rag dolled in the air.
Manly managed to see off the Knights' comeback to bag their third consecutive win 26-18.

It Costs Nothing To Watch The World's Largest Dog Show
By Reyna Abraham| March 9, 2017
Alright dog lovers, it's that time of year! Grab your BCF (best canine friend), make yourself a cup of tea ('cause England), and take a seat! Crufts, one of the world's biggest canine events, is starting Thursday, March 9!
credit: onEdition
Crufts, named after its founder Charles Cruft who began the dog show in the late 1800's in Great Britain, has become an arena for dogs and dog owners to strut their stuff. Today's Crufts, however, is much more than a dog show. It is a celebration of dogs and all they do from the labor intensive responsibilities of working dogs, to police dogs, and even an entire series of events exhibiting the abilities of rescued dogs. There are agility, flyball, and even heelwork events that showcase how incredibly versatile man's best friends really are.
With tens of thousands of dogs participating, it can be a little tricky knowing who is who and when to watch. So here's a convenient schedule so you don't have to miss out on your faves!
Day 1 (Thursday, March 9): Terrier and Hound
Some members of the terrier breed include fox terriers, Jackson Russell terriers, Scottish terriers, bull terriers. Hounds like the basset hound, beagle, Rhodesian ridgeback, and Irish wolfhound will also be showing.
By the way, last year's Best in Show was Devon, the West Highland white terrier. Here's an interview with Devon's human, Marie Burns, where she shares about her experience at Crufts.

Day 2 (Friday, March 10): Toy and Utility
These companion dogs may be small, but they are mighty! Toy breeds include bichon frise, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, and Chinese crested.
Utility dog breeds are a pretty mixed bag, but this group basically consists of dogs bred for a purpose that doesn't fall under the "working" or "sporting" categories. Utility dogs include bulldog, poodle, chow chow, and dalmatian.

Day 3 (Saturday, March 11): Gundog
Gundogs make for some pretty popular pets, but were originally trained to find and retrieve game. This class includes English setter, labrador retriever and golden retriever.
Day 4 (Sunday, March 12): Working and Pastoral
These hard working dog classes include border collie, mastiff, Neapolitan mastiff, and the Queen's favorite: corgis!

Yaw. Dani Couture. A Stuart Ross Book. Mansfield Press. Toronto, Ontario. 2014.
Dani Couture is a poet in full and confident stride. These solid poems resonate with assiduity and authority.
I am the thermometer's single glass vein.
I am the dull roar of a thousand wet parts.
I am a pan of burnt milk left out to cool.
I am an eye tooth and a quarter short.
I am keeping all the aisles and exits clear.
I am a plastic stretcher on a December beach.
I am thanking you on behalf of everyone here.
I am the neighbour's borrowed knife.
I am twin golden retrievers keeping pace.
I am a street in your honour renamed.
I am both the unanswered phone and the caller untethered.
in the last seconds of the final quarter.
These are poems you are going to want to read again, these are poems you are going to force on people who don't read poems.
Couture has a fine ear for the nuance moment and a sharp enough tongue for the hard of hearing.
On first go, I read this collection like a hot knife going through butter. Like a drunk cramming junk food at 3 a.m. The second read was dinner at a fine Montreal bistro. The truth is, this slim volume, Couture's fourth, is a feast.
days dead and frozen to suburb sidewalk.
its skin peeled back—a cool, silver skeleton.
of fowl: Little Auk, Rock Ptarmigan, Red Knot.
but the inward eye of Large Hadron Collider, the Higgs boson stare.
but the hidden sharp end of a hem-worn story.
but a hillside galaxy of failing aspen.
pieces of her dark matter birthed under every porch.
but the communal vibration of our silence.
Yaw is a Stuart Ross Book, this imprint offered by Mansfield Press continues to pump out some of the most interesting poetry in the land. Good on them.
Dani Couture is the author of Sweet, which was shortlisted for the Trillium Book Award for Poetry and won the Relit Award for Poetry. In 2011, she received an Honour of Distinction from the Writers' Trust of Canada's Dayne Ogilvie Prize. Her other books include Good Meat and Algoma. Dani is the literary editor at This Magazine. She lives in Toronto.
"Couture is a sensitive and talented writer and her portraits are fine and clear."
"Sweet has a complexity that extends far beyond the notes detectable by our mammalian taste buds."
"It is easy to borrow Couture's own words to describe hers: honed, pared, exactly cut. Her sensory, often simple, language is kept tidy with meticulous line breaks and punctuation. It's rich with suggestion and sound play..."
"[Couture has] an ear for the social ecology of humans as tuned as the one for flight patterns of birds or the eating habits of a grizzly bear. Sweet is an excellent read: short, sweet, and constantly challenging."


The one hundred miles of California's Big Sur coast is one of the most remote, unique and pristine stretches of marine ecosystems along the west coast of the United States. For the past three years, Reef Check California has complete successful EcoExpeditions along the Big Sur coast as part of a sustained effort for the long-term monitoring of this unique coastal ecosystem. The data we collected is publicly available on Reef Check's Global Reef Tracker for scientists, marine managers and the general public to use. This year we plan to return to measure differences in marine life to ascertain what trends are occurring and what steps need to be taken to protect these remote ecosystems. On this expedition, a team of trained volunteer citizen scientists will conduct Reef Check surveys along this coast using our survey protocols that are used throughout the rest of the state.
Join us for a 4-day expedition where we will survey new sites along this remote coast. Boat leaves out of Morro Bay at 2:00 am on Monday the 17th (you can board the night before).
Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties in California, is one of 14 federally designated marine protected areas in US waters. Reef Check has established 17 survey sites on Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel islands and our goal is to survey as many of these sites as possible during our expedition. The data we collect is publicly available on Reef Check's Global Reef Tracker for scientists, marine managers and the general public to use. Join us for a 3-day expedition where we will survey sites inside the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The boat leaves out of Ventura at 3:00 am on August 5th (you can board the night before starting at 8 pm).
This marine volunteering expedition with SCUBA diving will take you to the beautiful 26 coral atolls that make up the Republic of Maldives. Based on a very luxurious and modern liveaboard yacht, you will help marine biologists study and protect the Maldives' spectacular coral reefs and resident whale shark population. All this because the Maldives government identified a need for further research and monitoring work as far back as 1997. Biosphere Expeditions is addressing this need with your help and will train you as a Reef Check EcoDiver. With this qualification you will then gather important reef and whale shark data.
Lectures and seminars will be alternated with day and night dives, as well as practical sessions in the lab. At the end of the course it is expected that participants demonstrate what they learned and discuss the results achieved. Participants will obtain Reef Check EcoDiver certification.
Cost details: Full board accommodation (9 days/8 nights) and dives cost € 800.00 and must be paid to Coral Eye upon arrival. Soft drinks/beers and additional excursions are not included.
Course fee, including teaching materials and Reef Check certificate, is € 200.00 and must be paid to Reef Check Italia as a non-refundable deposit upon confirmation.
Moreover, a small donation to the Bangka Conservation Foundation (100,000 IDR ~ 7.00 Euros) will be required on site.
Reef check Italia onlus is offering 5 grants to partially cover the accommodation costs to the most deserving undergraduate students and young (<28 yrs.) graduate biologists or naturalists on the basis of their CV, including diver qualifications and previous volunteer experiences.
This SCUBA diving citizen science expedition will take you to the United Arab Emirates and from there to the remote and mountainous Musandam peninsula of Oman. Based on a comfortable and modern liveboard yacht, you will study the diverse coral reefs fringing the areas where the spectacular mountains plunge into the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. These reefs boast a rich mixture of beautiful corals and a multitude of fish and other animals. This pioneering study to map this unique underwater environment has already led to the creation of two protected areas. But more data on the biological status of the reefs and of population levels of key indicator species are needed for educational purposes and to be able to put forward further ideas for more and larger marine protection areas. Data will also be used to make informed management and conservation decisions within the area. The expedition includes training as a Reef Check EcoDiver.
The Environmental Research Institute Charlotteville (ERIC), Tobago, is the centre for Reef Check in Trinidad and Tobago and a not-for-profit organisation committed to an integrated community and ecosystem-based management approach for Northeast Tobago. An important component of the work programme at ERIC is establishing a baseline and subsequent on going monitoring of the coral reefs of the region to facilitate effective reef management plans.
Northeast Tobago comprises a diverse range of ecosystems that in turn support a globally valuable level of biodiversity in terms of at risk and endemic species, migratory, iconic and commercial species, including the IUCN critically endangered hawksbill turtle and the EDGE-recognised Montastraea coral. A one or two week Reef Check EcoExpedition is your opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the development of conservation management in Tobago. Working alongside the marine biologists at ERIC you will attain your Reef Check EcoDiver certification before carrying out daily Reef Check surveys in the area as well as exploratory research dives to help build a comprehensive understanding of the status of the local reefs.
Additionally, you may have the opportunity to take part in a visit to our tropical forests and engage in marine bird monitoring at one of the largest colonies of magnificent frigatebirds in the Caribbean, as well as attending evening presentations on topics of ecological and conservation interest. As the only operator of Reef Check EcoExpeditions in the Caribbean we offer you a unique opportunity to visit an area of the region that embodies and retains its traditional and pristine nature.

Governor Tim Walz has decided he will continue the Dayton administration's appeal of the controversial Enbridge Line 3 pipeline upgrade in northern Minnesota.
Local officials have reacted negatively to the Governor's announcement this morning to continue the appeal.
The Pennington County Board of Commissioners moved, at their regular meeting this morning in Thief River Falls, to sign a letter detailing the "zero response" elected officials in northern Minnesota have received after repeated attempts to reach the Governor in writing, by phone, and in person.
Pennington County Commissioner Neil Peterson says "Governor Walz' "One Minnesota" fails northern Minnesota on Line Three".
Commissioners this morning agreed to affix their signatures to the letter in support. Peterson says he hopes other leaders in northern Minnesota will do the same before its delivery.
Peterson goes on to say that the County hasn't gotten so much as a call back from the Governor's Office.

Violence Mars PDP Guber Primary In Bayelsa
The primary election of the governorship of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State was on Tuesday almost marred by violence after some political thugs detonated dynamites near the Ijaw House, Yenagoa, where party delegates were being accredited for the poll.
One person was injured in the confusion that followed the booming sound of the detonated explosives.
It was learnt that the violent thugs were brought into the state by one of the PDP aspirants.
They were said to have been conveyed to Yenagoa between Saturday and Monday from the neighbouring states of Rivers and Delta.
The explosives went off at the Old Assembly Quarters along the Sami Abacha Expressway while the delegates were undergoing the accreditation.
There were reports that the hired thugs attempted to take over the venue of the party's primaries.
They were however repelled by a combined team of security personnel comprising policemen, soldiers and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The accreditation of delegates, however, continued uninterrupted.
