"Ogoniok" (, 'ognik') – radziecki i rosyjski tygodnik ilustrowany wydawany od 1899 roku (pierwszy numer ukazał się 21 grudnia 1899). Siedziba gazety znajduje się w Moskwie.

Zamysłem założyciela periodyku "Ogoniok", Michaiła Kolcowa, było stworzenie czasopisma konkurencyjnego dla pism tradycyjnych, ówcześnie nazywanych burżuazyjnymi. Redaktor deklarował jednocześnie awangardowość swoich poczynań. Program, treści i przekaz były swoistą próbą stworzenia alternatywnego kanału komunikacji. Siłą miały być rysunki, ilustracje, łatwo przyswajalne teksty. Z czasopismem związana jest tradycja literackiego, półbeletrystycznego dokumentu.

"Ogoniok" jako jedno z nielicznych czasopism rosyjskich przeżył represje polityczne czasów stalinizmu i funkcjonuje do dziś.

Tygodnik jest współwydawcą serii książek "Narodnaja biblioteka «Ogońka»".

Najpopularniejsi autorzy tygodnika to Dmitrij Bykow, Dmitrij Gubin, Dmitrij Sabow.

Rudd, reaction and refugees
Charles Richardson Australia, Ideas, Political issues 3 July 2013 28 January 2022
In the leadup to last week's ballot there had been a bit of a narrative going around that Kevin Rudd, if put back in the leadership, might soften the government's line on asylum seekers. This was part of the general search for a rationale for a Rudd return, but there was a degree of logic to it, given the frustration that many people felt at Julia Gillard's conservatism and the way that her prime ministership seemed mortgaged to the party's hard right.
It was never a likely outcome. The political assassination of Gillard was always primarily a right-wing project, led by News Ltd, so it stretched credulity to think that its success would be marked by a policy shift to the left.
The truth is that Rudd and Gillard are both conservatives: he certainly through inclination but now also through the dynamic of the recent struggle; she from the way the factions held her in their grasp, but perhaps also from inclination, or at least habit.
The lack of any policy, ideological or even factional content to their struggle is a major part of what made it so nasty. It's an old rule of politics that the less a contest involves ideas or policies, the more bitterly personal it becomes: after all, what else is there to talk about?
(Rudd's return is without real precedent, but for a slight approximation think of the knifing of Alan Brown by Jeff Kennett in 1991: also brutal, driven by self-interest and marked by a curious lack of differentiation on policy or ideas.)
Anyway, the thought, such as it was, has now been well and truly laid to rest. The liberalism of the early Rudd years on the refugee issue is being comprehensively repudiated. Like a tar baby that it just can't keep its hands off, the notion of being "tough" on asylum seekers again has Labor captive.
I quite honestly do not know where this keeps coming from. I don't know whether it stems from the actual racism of the New South Wales apparatchik class that runs the party, or whether it's become one of those things that's been repeated so often that nobody thinks to ask whether it's true or not, or whether said apparatchiks have reached the point where they just write down whatever News Ltd tells them.
But seriously, in what Bizarro version of reality does Labor have anything to gain, at this stage of the game, from being even tougher on asylum seekers? Anyone who believes that Labor is a soft touch on the issue is clearly resistant to any actual facts and so is going to go on believing it regardless of the reality.
Giving the issue more air just means increasing the chance that people holding that belief are going to bring it to the forefront of their minds and therefore let it determine their votes, and in that case they're going to vote for the Coalition.
Deterrent may or may not have some measurable effect on the flow of asylum seekers: I don't know, and I suspect no-one else does either. But regardless of whether it does or not, it's never to Labor's political advantage to say that it does, because that plays to the Coalition's strength.
On the other hand, if Rudd were to quietly but firmly shut the door on offshore processing it could hardly make things any worse for Labor, and it would at least help to differentiate him from Gillard. And it might win Labor back some support from people who just want to see it stand for something – anything, really.

Injury update: England likely facing Italy without Welbeck, Sterling
By Duncan DayMar 27, 2015, 10:00 PM EDT
According to England boss Roy Hodgson, the Three Lions may miss two key men for their next match–a friendly against Italy on Tuesday.
Midfielder Raheem Sterling has been nursing a toe injury and needed an injection to aid his ailment, but he elected to perform versus Lithuania regardless. Now, he will enjoy time off before he gets back with Liverpool hoping to finish in the Premier League's top five.
[RELATED: Hughes signs extension with Stoke]
"He's (Raheem Sterling's) been playing through a situation, getting himself ready each week to get on the field of play," Hodgson said. "He did it again tonight, which is terrific. But he doesn't need to continue those shows of bravery. It's important he gets it put right for us and Liverpool."
Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck, who was subbed off in the 77th minute for Theo Walcott during England's last match, sustained a knee injury. The extent of the injury is currently unknown, but Hodgson thinks it's not very serious.
"Welbeck has had a tweak to the knee, when he dived with the goalkeeper," Hodgson said. "We were planning to take him off anyway. He's being assessed by the medical staff, but we won't get a proper idea until Saturday.
"The medical staff gave me the impression they're not terribly worried about it, but that Tuesday may be too soon. But we'll see."


NOTES: For Game 1 , the Oilers sold concourse passes for $80 (Canadian) each, which admitted a limited number of fans to the arena, but without views of the ice. McDavid's blazing speed made this goal possible. Frank Vatrano added a goal for Boston in his National Hockey League playoff game, and Tuukka Rask made 26 saves.
Cormier came back two minutes later naked and holding a towel in front of him. They then questioned a silent Johnson in the break as to why he refused to keep distance from Cormier. I've got to be completely honest with you, I didn't even realize I was doing that. IF UFC 210 is going to be half as exciting as all the controversy leading up to today's event, then we are in for one hell of a card.
The roadside blasts left Dortmund's Spanish worldwide Marc Bartra and a policeman injured, with the bombs "containing metal pieces" detonating minutes after the team bus set off to a planned Champions League game against Monaco. Uefa issued a statement which read: "We were in touch with all parties and never received any information which suggested that any of the teams did not want to play".
In her Boston Marathon debut, Edna Kiplagat of Kenya has won the women's elite race. That's a course record and the fastest time ever for a wheelchair marathon. Defending women's champion Tatyana McFadden finished fourth, two weeks after having surgery. She was, however, named the victor of the World Marathon Majors series.
The Lions did throw in a fight but skipper Suresh Raina along with Aaron Finch ensured that there were no hiccups in knocking off the remainder of the target. Bowling his third over on the trot, the 30-year-old medium pacer was milked for 25 runs, with Tripathi dispatching him for two consecutive sixes and a four before Smith fetched two back to back boundaries as Pune rushed to their fastest IPL 50.
The Wild have not had a lead in nearly 200 minutes of play. Three of the six goals for the Blues in the series have been scored by their defensemen. Both goaltenders have been excellent in this series, and winning a game is centered on who can solve the opposition's goalie first.
Benintendi's single to center put the Red Sox ahead, and Mookie Betts singled for a 4-2 lead. RED SOX KEY TRENDS: The Red Sox have fared well against American League East rivals, winning 15 of their last 22 games against the division. Red Sox left-hander David Price , out since early spring training with a strained left elbow, threw a bullpen session Saturday and hopes to face hitters next week.
Toronto will play the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs if the Maple Leafs pick up at least a point in their season finale against Columbus on Sunday. He then danced around Penguins defenceman Justin Schultz and beat Fleury for his 27th goal this year. Matthews' left knee connected with the right knee of Dotchin, and the 19-year-old Maple Leafs star remained down on the ice for a few moments.
Shakespeare believes his side were unlucky to come away with just a point from the game but admits they paid the price for failing to kill off their opponents. "Atlético are a very good team and their work ethic is exceptional". "We knew what to expect". Wes has been out on the grass the last few days, which is really pleasing.
That type of production certainly didn't warrant a demotion to Pawtucket, but the Red Sox needed to activate Robbie Ross after he recovered from his bout with the flu and Taylor's remaining minor league options made him the obvious choice to send down.

This is the start of a series of tutorials where we will discuss some modeling (and later perhaps also some animation) techniques to get you started with Blender, a phantastic open source tool for going 3D. In this first tutorial we will just touch the very basics and build a stage setting that we will then use as a starting point for our next articles.
In a way 3D graphics can be compared to photography (and cinematography if you animate your graphics). A photographer chooses a model, places it into a scene, sets up the lights, takes the picture with her camera and as soon as the photograph is developed you can look at it. The same is true for the 3D artist: she also needs a model that she places into her scene and also needs lights and a camera. Finally to develop her photograph she makes a render. Rendering means that the computer processes all the data and creates the picture from the view point of the camera.
The big difference between the two is of course that the 3D artist is using the computer all the time and makes the models herself (virtually on the computer).
Fig.1 Here is a screenshot of the default Blender screen.
In the window at the bottom you see a lot of buttons while the window on top is almost empty because we haven't started modeling any object yet.
In the menu bar below this upper window you can see a button with a capital T. This tells you that this window is supposed to be a top view. To get to a front or side view you can just go to this button and change it to F and S respectively.
For modeling it is inevitable that you know how your objects look like in these different views. Therefore we split this big window into 3 windows, each of them displaying a different view. To do this go with the mouse over the line between the window and the menu bar (on top or bottom). A double arrow will appear. Click on it with the middle mouse and a little menu is popping up asking you if you want to split or join the areas. As we want to make 3 windows out of this one we decide to split the area (left click). But you already know how to reverse your action in case you feel more comfortable with another window design. Then arrange it so that the two windows have the same size by dragging the mouse to the desired position and then left click again. (Note that somehow in this Blender version (2.27) to arrange the windows in a different way afterwards doesn't seem to work properly.) By now you should have divided your big window into two smaller ones. On the left we leave the window untouched but we will divide the window on the right side another time. This time we will divide it horizontally though: Put the mouse over the line dividing the two almost empty windows until the arrows are displayed and move the arrows so that they are a bit more to the right, then click on the middle mouse button and "Split area" and arrange it as you can see in Fig2. Now you have three windows but all display a top view. So change the orange button of the left window to F (front view) and the orange button right and below to S (side view).
By the way the menu with the orange and other buttons is called header for the modeling window. By right clicking on a free spot in that menu a small menu will pop up and you can choose between having the header on top, at the bottom or no header. If you have decided to have no header for this window but finally wish to have it back just move and click as if you wanted to split or join your different windows again. There should be a third entry "Add Header" in the pop up menu now and clicking on it will return your header.
If you haven't deleted the camera (the object that looks a bit like a triangle) accidentally it will already be there (see Fig.2). Otherwise in front view hit Space, Add-->Camera and place it (click g to move the camera) where you can see it in the picture (Fig.2).
With the mouse button over the top view hit Space key and a menu pops up, press Add --> Mesh --> Plane. The plane will position itself centered around the red-white cursor. Whenever you add a new object like this into Blender the object will always position itself where the cursor is. This way you can already define where a new object will be added to your scene. You simply move the red-white cursor to the desired place by a left click on the mouse.
Okay, the plane is there now and in edit mode (it is highlighted in yellow) which means that you can edit every single point. For now we want to increase the size of the whole plane and as edit mode isn't necessary for this action we leave it by pressing tab (you could of course scale it in this mode but it is just more convenient the other way). The plane is still selected (it is highlighted in pink). Press s now and move the mouse away from the plane. You will see that it becomes bigger. If you have reached the desired size press the left mouse button to make the change effective.
There is no real undo button in Blender. If you want to go back to the old position press the right mouse button before you hit the left one. The plane will jump to its original size. But if you have already hit the left mouse button it's too late. So if you are unsure if your next operation will make your model better or worse it's always saver to save the image first before you continue (see below how to save your work in Blender).
Now in side view press g and move the plane a bit lower so that it is lower than the camera.
Next let's give our floor a green colour. Select the material button (the one with a red sphere) in the header of the window below with all those different buttons. Then click on the white button and press "ADD NEW" to add a new material (see Fig.3 to locate the two buttons). Now suddenly the window doesn't look so empty anymore. You can see the sliders with RGB (to the left). Move the R slider to 0, G to 1 and B to 0 (with the left mouse button) to give the floor a green colour.
Note that you might already have a plane on your screen when you open the default screen in Blender. In that case select it by right clicking on it and then press x to delete it.
To add the background is similar to adding our floor of course. Just hit the Space key again but this time put the mouse button over the front view and press Add --> Mesh --> Plane. Press tab to leave edit mode and with the plane still selected press s to scale the plane up to the desired size. In side view press g and move the plane a bit further to the right to get a bigger distance from the camera.
To give it a blue colour select the material button (the one with a red sphere) in the header of the window below with all those different buttons. Then click on the white button and press "ADD NEW" to add a new material. Move the R slider to 0, G to 0 and B to 1 (with the left mouse button) to obtain a blue colour.
Light really is very important as it can create very different moods and atmospheres and also is responsible for our shadows. Here in this first article we can't talk about it in great detail, let's just shed some light onto our scene.
We use kind of a standard three-light setting: Put the mouse over the front view and hit Space, Add--> Lamp. Click on the lamp button (the button with the bulb). You can see that there are 4 different types of lights available in Blender. By default the light is set to lamp. But for our first light we want a spot light because it is the only light source in Blender that can create shadows. So click on it. Then go back to our modeling window and rotate and move the spot light to the position you can see in the picture (Fig.5): In side view click g and move the spot light up and to the left. Then click g again in top view and move it to the right. Now click r and rotate it to the left. Finally go to side view again, click r and rotate it downwards. It should now be placed in front, above and to the right to the center of your stage.
Next we need some back light. Place the cursor as you can see in the picture (Fig.5): above and behind the center of your stage. Then hit Space-->Add-->Lamp.
Finally you need a third light to fill in the dark spots. This is usually placed behind the camera. Click there with the red-white cursor and again hit Space -->Add-->Lamp.
You can also play a bit around with the brightness of the lights by changing their energy level (just change the value of the energy slider in the lamp menu).
Now that we have our default scene complete it's a good idea to make a render to see how your scene looks like: Go to the Display Button (the button with the picture on it or press F10) and change the size of the picture. I usually prefer SizeX:640 and SizeY: 480 while working. It is big enough so that I can see the details of my models clearly enough but the rendering time isn't too long. If you want your models to make shadows make sure that the shadows button is pressed. Usually while modeling a complex object you are not interested in the shadows right away as it makes your rendering slower so I only press this button when I am interested in seeing the shadows. At the moment there is nothing in our scene that could have a shadow though. Now for seeing the stage you can either press the RENDER button or press F12. A new window opens and displays your stage. To get it to the background press F11 (while keeping the cursor over the render window). If you hit this button again the image reappears without being rendered again.
Now that you have successfully created the stage I suggest that you save it as we will always use this setting as a starting point for our next articles in this series.
To do this simply go to File in the menu on top--> SAVE AS and save your scene as default.blend (or however you want to name it, just make sure that the extension is .blend).
It's time to practise your new skills a bit more. Therefore look at the illustration image for this article and imagine it without the Tux penguins. We are going to add the sphere and the cube to our stage.
To add the sphere hit space (in front view)--> Add-->Mesh--UVSphere and leave the numbers of the segments and rings at their default value of 32. Click tab to leave edit mode. Give it a red colour by selecting the material button (the one with a red sphere or press F5), then click on the white button, press "ADD NEW" to add a new material and move the R slider to 1, G to 0 and B to 0 (with the left mouse button).
Place it on the center of our stage. Then press the Edit buttons (or F9). In the column with the field that displays a red colour you see a button with "Set Smooth" on the bottom. Press it to give your sphere a smooth surface.
Next add the cube by hitting space in front view -->Add-->Mesh-->Cube and give it a yellow colour (R=1, G=1, B=0).
To get it to look like on the illustration image you have to rotate it a little bit: Press r and in front view rotate the cube a bit to the right. Then in side view press r and rotate the cube a bit to the right again. Finally in top view rotate the cube a bit to the left until it looks like on the illustration.
In 3D graphics you have three possible transformations, you can move an object, scale and rotate it. You can choose different centers around which the scaling or rotating will take place. For example with the first button (see Fig.6) pressed the object rotates or scales around a center that would be there if you put a bounding box around all objects. With the third button pressed you rotate or scale around the red and white cursor.
By the way if your Blender screen is too small and only part of the window menus are displayed you can move it to the right and left by holding the middle mouse button down while moving the mouse in the menu.
Now make a render (press F12) to admire your work! Make sure that the Shadows button in the Display buttons menu (F10) is pressed to see the shadows the sphere and cube create!
Perhaps you want to save your image in a format so that you can put it on a website or print it out. To do this return to the display button menu (F10) in Blender. Left where /render/ or something similar is displayed you have to specify the directory and the filename where Blender should save the image. Make sure that the directory exists as otherwise Blender just won't save it without necessarily giving you an error message. Next press the OSA button and press one of the numbers below. The higher the number the higher the quality. The OSA button is like antialiasing in 2D programs. It improves the qualtiy a lot but also slows down the rendering process. If you want shadows the Shadows button should also be pressed. In the next column change the End:250 field to End:1 as our picture is a still picture and no animation. Then choose the size your image should have in the next column and change the format to jpeg (or whatever of the available formats you want your image to be saved in) and also decide how big the quality should be. Now press the anim button and your image is saved as jpg ( note however that when you search for it e.g. in the Gimp it is not shown there with the extension .jpg but with a number at the end).
I hope you enjoyed your first trip through the world of Blender. Next time we are going to build a little toy train.


When the gorgeous and extremely talented Myrthes Monteiro asked me to design her jewellery for her opening night of the European premiere of the Broadway hit musical Disney's Aladdin in Hamburg, I was literally over the moon and thought:"OMG, I will be designing jewellery for a real Disney princess." Myrthes is playing the part of princess Jasmine in the show and is absolutely perfect for the role. So it was a no brainer that I would make her jewellery.
Together we talked about what she was imagining to wear and I loved her ideas from the start. I designed and made her a glamorous pair of chandelier earrings and an oriental headpiece. Everything is made with little crystals, freshwater pearls and sterling silver.
This is a photo when Myrthes was getting ready before the party started.

Q: GestureRecogniser and disabling drag gesture of a UIView in a UIScrollView Recently I had a problem. How to disable scrolling in a particular area of a UIScrollView, particularly the area occupied by a UIView or subview.
I've readen a lot about subclassing and other long approaches to solve this.
But recently I solved this problem in a simplier manner without subclassing:
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panrecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] init];

and then
[panrecognizer setCancelsTouchesinView:NO];
[mySubViewInScroll addGestureRecognizer:panrecognizer];

I created the UIPanGestureRecognizer without an Action passed to it and then added the recognizer to the view in the scroller. In such way the gestures on the view will be captured but expressly not handled by the view or by the superviews because we passed to the object no Action.
The question is this. Is this a correct approach to handle this type of prolem or it's better to do otherwise. I mean Apple will accept this kind of application with this approach ?

A: In effect I think that this, even if not the best is the most practical solution..since messing around with the classes and subclassing to achieve only a partial scroll lock of the screen seems to be very odd. So let-s see if Apple will accept this kind of solution...

DIY Healthcare?
January 27, 2015 -- BIT Magazine When we think of major medical breakthroughs we usually think about giant institutions, government-funded studies, and mega-corporations with multi-billion dollar budgets. But these days, just like with everything else, technology has become a positively disruptive force, bending the boundaries we traditionally think exist in defining what can and cannot be done and by whom.
As people discover how to apply open source software, hardware, and breakthroughs like 3D printing and IT to diseases and other medical challenges, these boundaries begin to disappear. No longer must people inflicted with a condition or facing a medical challenge solely resign themselves to the traditional march of progress.
Some examples of how technology has opened the door for ordinary people to make extraordinary contributions to the medical field include a South African man who himself lost several digits on one hand, and now uses 3D printing to manufacturer superior prosthetic limbs for a fraction of the cost a hospital charges. Hundreds have benefited from his work, and the paradigm he has helped shift with his work has empowered and inspired others to continue pushing the barriers of biomedical technology back.
Open source software developers have also been quietly, but steadily contributing as well. Wikipedia has an entire entry regarding open source software that can be used by small-scale, private practitioners, reducing initial investment costs and annual overhead.
But what of therapies for diseases? Once solely the domain of large pharmaceutical corporations, devising therapies has reached the threshold of an immense paradigm shift. Called gene therapy, researchers are able to read a patient's DNA, devise corrections, and by reprogramming a virus with the corrected DNA, reintroduce it into the patient's body where it will be incorporated into healthy cells, and reproduced naturally. This means a single injection of a therapy can have life-long benefits, permanently curing certain conditions, from genetic defects to beating cancer, with a single treatment.
While gene therapy is far from a DIY discipline ordinary people can brew in their basement or garage laboratories today, there is a developing road map that leads to just such a future. Currently, the extraction, manipulation, and reintroduction of DNA in bacteria is a growing DIYbio interest, and serves as the center of MIT's annual iGEM competition. Each year, the accessibility to this competition grows, having started with elite university teams in its beginning 10 years ago, to including high school students, private DIYbio labs, and other teams of aspiring entrepreneurs and DIYbio enthusiasts from around the world today.
Last year's iGEM competition was the biggest yet and a showcase of what small, independent teams can accomplish on their own without multi-billion dollar budgets.
Changing the characteristics of a bacteria's DNA is far from overcoming the challenges associated with doing likewise on a living human patient. But the skills, infrastructure, and social paradigms developed tinkering with bacteria's DNA may lead to doing likewise with more complex organisms, leading eventually to animal models and perhaps even human DNA.
And before we imagine DIYbiologists testing novel therapies on themselves or others like Dr. Frankenstein, we should consider recent breakthroughs like the "organ-on-a-chip." This is essentially a collection of working cells taken from a living patient and maintained on an experimental chip for testing. Any danger or risk is mitigated since everything done to these cells happens outside the patient's body, but within conditions very similar to those within their body.
We can imagine mastering the transformation of bacteria cells, working on more advanced model organisms, then working on "chips" containing animal and human cells. As far fetched as it sounds, there may come the day where developing a therapy to correct a condition is as simple as programming a microcontroller like an Arduino today.
Future patients might extract DNA, have it sequenced, isolate problems, develop a therapy based on an online library of similar efforts already tested, then testing it again on a "chip" before finally administering it. We've imagined the "regen clinic" where just such a process is carried out in an imagine future, and where everything from regenerative medicine, to curing cancer is done here. Like a pharmacist today, these reinvented "apothecaries" would be researchers/doctors/pharmacists, able to do such multidisciplinary feats because of automation and technology, just like 3D printing and open source microcontrollers allow ordinary people to develop increasingly complex engineered systems today.
Whether DIYbio results in DIYhealthcare, or simply contributes to dropping the costs of healthcare through the floor while advancing its ability to address human illness and injuries with greater efficiency, it is a reality that is springing forth already. Anyone interested in contributing can start with the immense and growing resources already available online, then either start their own DIYbio group locally, or find one that may already have opened its doors.
It is an exciting time to live, and for the first time, we don't have to wait for those above us to hand us down progress, we can have our hands involved in moving it forward, directly.

Top US diplomat urges Rwanda to halt support for armed groups in Congo
December 5, 2022 adminComments Off on Top US diplomat urges Rwanda to halt support for armed groups in Congo
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Rwandan President Paul Kagame to halt support for armed groups in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), including rebels who are accused of multiple rights violations, the State Department said on Monday.
Blinken emphasized during his Sunday call with Kagame that "any external support to non-state armed groups in the DRC must end, including Rwanda's assistance to M23," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
"Secretary Blinken also shared deep concern about the impact of the fighting on Congolese civilians who have been killed, injured and displaced from their homes," added Price.
Blinken also condemned hate speech and public incitement against Rwandaphone communities – meaning the speakers of Kinyarwanda, including most ethic Tutsis – "recalling the real and horrible consequences of such rhetoric in the past," the statement added, likely referring to the 1994 genocide.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo accuses Rwanda of supporting the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group, which some fear could capture Goma, the capital of North Kivu, Congo.
While Rwanda denies the allegations, political and diplomatic tensions between the two countries continue.
The M23 group has been implicated in a number of rights abuses, including the summary execution of civilians, the use of rape as a weapon of war, and recruiting child soldiers.

CHARLOTTE, Vt. —
The future of farming in Vermont is looking bright. The High Meadows Fund, Vermont Land Trust, and Vermont Community Foundation announced a $6 million gift today to help Vermont's land stewards.
The gift will diversify farm ownership and support the economic viability of farming. It will also advance natural climate solutions and ecological health on Vermont farms.
Officials said $2 million will be used to help historically marginalized people get into farming and people of color will have a say in how that money is spent.
"We can't wait to see more black, indigenous, and other people of color have the joy of holding, farming, stewarding land and thriving," said Lydia Clemmons, president and executive director of the Clemmons Family Farm.
The remaining $4 million will go toward setting hundreds of farmers up for years of success.
"It's one step toward or forward to the intersection of justice, land, and agriculture, intended to catalyze the future of farming here, expanding equity and access to farmland," said Nick Richardson, president and CEO of the Vermont Land Trust.

This is great and very helpful. I have also followed your Part 1 and like the way you have explained all the details of various methods and implementations.
Is it OK to go ahead and use the LIB you have created in our projects?
Adam, I tried using this code in my application, but hit a roadblock since i was trying to add this logic to user control and not to the main windows. The DragHelper methods expect a Window. I am trying to dig further to see what i can do to handle this. but if you have any suggestions, do share.
The thing about WPF, is that you only have a window handle, which we need when calling the COM interfaces, at the Window level. All the WPF visual elements are custom drawn, and are not "windows" in the sense of Win32 programming, which is what WinForms was built on. So, in WPF, you can use your parent Window when working with the DropTargetHelper.DragEnter method. Or, you could try passing null for the Window param, but I don't fully understand what is happening when you do that. It has worked for me, though. Regardless, the underlying COM interface expects a window handle, which your UserControl doesn't have.

Black Cumin Oil comes from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant and contains a wealth of nutrients that support the immune system. In fact, it is estimated that Black Cumin Oil has over 100 active chemical compounds. Two of the most important and unique are thymoquinone and crystalline nigellone, both of which may be the key to Black Cumin Oil's extraordinary immuno-stimulating properties. Additionally, Black Cumin Oil contains antioxidants, which are vital to combating free radicals that attack the body, as well as vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
This incredible oil is different than other immune-boosting natural substances because it gently balances the immune system without wreaking havoc on healthy cells and tissue. Often well-meaning natural immune supplements cannot decipher unhealthy from healthy areas, but that is not the case with Black Cumin Oil.
The need for an improved immune system is never-ending as potential threats to our bodies are everywhere. However, with stronger immunity, the body can better handle attacks from foreign substances. This is true for everyone, but those suffering from auto-immune diseases are especially susceptible to illness and have a greater need for healing. Auto-immune diseases can be severe and rare full-body immune dysfunctions, or can be more common problems such as arthritis, Celiac disease, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease.
This is where Black Cumin Oil can be incredibly helpful and life-changing. Studies show that Black Cumin Oil gives the immune system an unprecedented boost by increasing T-cell counts and cellular function. While this natural supplement has been celebrated for its medicinal purposes by ancient cultures for centuries, it is now being brought into the spotlight of modern medicine as a powerful resource for immune health.
Black Cumin Oil is simple to incorporate into your diet. Simply add it to a variety of dishes ranging from salads, pastas or warm cereals, drip some on toast, stir it into tea or eat it by the spoonful.
Let Black Cumin Oil be your natural immune booster during the fall season of germs!

Q: Return Error code when using try and except? (without raise) I have some scripts running in docker containers that collect data from yfinance.
Sometimes crashes occur because the data is not available.
So I wanted to send me a mail if a crash occurs in a script, but I wanted it to be the exact error code that caused the main function to crash.
Is there a way that would allow me to return the exact error code as a variable (and send it per mail) instead of just using try and except?
if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except:
        ERROR = 'Value Error occured in BOT1'

Q: Wrapping std::vector of boost::shared_ptr in SWIG for Python EDIT: Solved, my mistake; explained in my answer.
I have this:
std::vector < boost::shared_ptr < Entity > > entities;

and I try to expose it through SWIG like this:
%include "boost_shared_ptr.i"
%include "std_vector.i"

%shared_ptr(Entity)
%include <Entity.h>

namespace std {
    %template(EntityVector) vector<boost::shared_ptr<Entity> >;
};

%include <TheFileWithEntities.h>

However, in Python entities ends up being a tuple:
import MyModule
print type(MyModule.cvar.entities)
# Output: (type 'tuple')

I've Googled for this, but could not find any concrete examples on how to wrap this. One page gave a small example for wrapping it for C#, but it didn't help in my case.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: I had some difficulty getting a Python sequence of pointer objects to automatically convert into a std::vector of pointer objects.  I am currently (stuck) using Swig 1.3; YMMV if you're using Swig 2.  The trick was to instantiate in the Swig interface file (with %template) not just the vector, and not just the object, but the pointer objects also:
%include "std_vector.i"
%template(myObjectT) namespace::of::myObject<T>;
%template(myObjectPtrT) boost::shared_ptr<namespace::of::myObject<T> >;
%template(myObjectVectorT) std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<namespace::of::myObject<T> > >;

Without the myObjectPtrT, Swig doesn't seem to know enough to convert a Python sequence of pointers to myObjectT to a myObjectVectorT.
UPDATE: For some reason I haven't yet been able to figure out, this leads to not being able to call methods on myObjectT from a myObjectPtrT, even though I've also used SWIG_SHARED_PTR(myObjectT, myObject<T>).

A: See How to expose std::vector<int> as a Python list using SWIG? for probably good info

A: SWIG seems to wrap global variables of type std::vector into tuples. The solution is to move entities into a class, and access it through an instance of that class. Example:
class Globals
{
public:
     std::vector < boost::shared_ptr < Entity > > entities;
};

extern Globals globals;

Let the Presidential Debates Die
McDaniel's efforts to extract concessions from the CPD—or to scrap it altogether in favor of an organization more willing to accept Jesse Watters as a presidential debate moderator—may very well just be yet another instance of Republicans working the refs. The goal, as always, is to get more favorable coverage for the GOP and foist less favorable coverage on Democrats; the goal is never to get factual or truthful coverage of either. In this instance, it's fairly clear that the RNC doesn't want moderators fact-checking candidates in real time—one of the very things journalism is designed to do. They have also complained about moderators, particularly those with past ties to Democratic politicians. (In 2020, Steve Scully, then at CSPAN, backed out of hosting one debate after he was caught asking former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci's advice on how to deal with the former president and then lying about it.)
"The RNC has a duty to ensure that its future presidential nominees have the opportunity to debate their opponents on a level playing field," the letter signed by McDaniel reads. If changes aren't made, "the RNC will take every step to ensure that future Republican presidential nominees are given that opportunity elsewhere."
The CPD and Democrats shouldn't take the bait. The presidential debate system as it is now—with all of its many flaws—is vastly superior than whatever monstrosity McDaniel and other Republicans want to birth into this world. There's simply no reason to bow to their demands. Let them complain and give them nothing; it's likely that within the next two years, they'll simply accept that the current system, which favors them, is preferable to nothing at all. But if they threaten to take their ball and go home, it's best to call their bluff.
There are plenty of substantive complaints to be had about the debates. Many argue that we should look to the past, removing the pageantry from the debates and adding more sobriety, as was the case—at least comparably—in many of the handful of debates that took places before the CPD took over. Removing audiences and involving moderators actually interested in engaging with the policies being pushed by the candidates would almost certainly make for more engaging and substantive debates. If the debates themselves are a failure right now, that's only because they reflect America's broken political culture. Changing the debates themselves won't immediately bring about better politics, as some of their critics suggest. It's better just to not have them at all.

The Beirut-born London-based artist talks about the equal but different challenges of making work on site or with carte blanche.
The performances that I created in the 1980s were often fuelled by anger. There was a sense of urgency and they often took on the character of a protest or a vigil.
If the work of John Hilliard, Lawrence Weiner, Dan Graham and others questions the privileging of the photograph as a historical record, does it instead offer the potential for the record to replace its referent?
The limitation of this prevalence given to the photographic model is that it tends to over-egg the retrospective aspect of the equation and correspondingly neglect the ability of the record of a performance to create as much as recall its referent, and ultimately to replace it.
When a media executive describes the culture secretary, John Whittingdale, as being untouchable because he is an 'asset' for the Daily Mail, isn't it a clue that the MP is compromised?
It is entirely possible that John Whittingdale was acting from principle and not under pressure, but the point is that it is impossible to know, which is why he should go.
Jack Bon, Jesse Darling, Lizzie Homersham, Paul Purgas and Takeshi Shiomitsu question the use of an image of Stephen Lawrence in the 'Let It Rain' exhibition curated by Millington/Marriott at Assembly Point in south London.

David Briers on the photocopy's effect on early alternative art presses.
Whether you go all the way with Kate Eichhorn's central argument that xerography 'came to play a major role ... in the dissemination of late 20th century aesthetic and political movements' and that its consequent 'impact on art and literature cannot be underestimated' remains debatable.
Peter Suchin tackles a critical theory blockbuster.

Opus 60 no. 7
Matteo Carcassi
Carcassi's Opus 60 no.7 is a lower intermediate level piece in terms of technical difficulty - mostly because of its length and speed. It has no difficult chords and reaches no higher than fret 7 on the first string. The 'allegro' tempo suggests you play it at around 100 to 120 BPM, which isn't especially fast, but as all the bars are filled with 16th notes, the effect is a rapid succession of notes.

About Opus 60 no. 7
Opus 60 no. 7 contains two sections. The first section lasts eight bars with no repeats. The second section lasts 20 bars and IS repeated.
The home key is A minor with a lot of hints at closely related keys via accidentals such as D# and Bb in the long second section.
The tempo marking, allegro indicates a suggested tempo of 100 - 120 BPM. The timing (meter) is very straightforward; there are four quarter note beats per bar and most beats are taken up by four 16th notes. The 16th notes are played either as tremolos in certain bars (e.g., bar 1) or arpeggios (e.g., bar 2).
Dynamics are important in this piece.
The hairpin symbols indicate crescendo (getting progressively) louder and decrescendo (getting softer).
f = Loud (forte)
mf = moderately loud (mezzo forte)
cresc. = getting louder (crescendo)
sf = forced (sforzando)
p = soft (piano)

The video contains the score, which displays line by line, and a synced software-generated audio track.

It's been more than a decade since the last Jurassic Park movie debuted in theaters, so anticipation is high for the upcoming Jurassic World. There's been a steady flow of cryptic images from the set of the film, thanks to director Colin Trevorrow, and now a new set of photos have found their way online featuring the dinosaur park's brochure.
Six photos of the brochure were posted by Twitter user @jurassicp2k15, and the images offer a peek at a new and improved park that has gone through some changes since the events of the first film. With Jurassic World set more than 20 years after 1993's Jurassic Park, some updates were bound to happen… but a golf course?
The brochure images also offer some indication of which dinosaurs made the cut for this installment of the series, as well as a nice reminder not to tease the dinosaurs. (We all know what happens when the dinosaurs get fussy, don't we?) The brochure is also jam-packed with corporate sponsorship from the likes of American Airlines, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks — which is actually pretty realistic, frankly. There's also a reminder to watch an instructional video hosted by Jimmy Fallon at the Gyrosphere attraction.
You can check out a few of the brochure photos below, then head over to Twitter for the rest.
Jurassic World hits theaters June 12, 2015, and stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio, BD Wong, Judy Greer, Katie McGrath, and Lauren Lapkus.

Bend it like Flintstone
Wild boars really do like their owners.
And here, I'm forced into a confession: Soccer absolutely bores me to distraction.
Aardman Animation and director Nick Park's Early Man is the latest attempt to make an exciting movie about soccer—or "football/futbol," as it's known in those parts of the world where what Americans call "football" hasn't caught on. As for soccer's potential as thrilling cinema—well, I think it's safe to say that if Nick Park can't do it, it can't be done.
Not that Early Man doesn't have its pleasures; Nick Park and Aardman may be capable of turning out a downright stinker (who isn't?), but they haven't done it yet, and they don't do it here. And there's a grain of anthropological truth in the movie, if you think of it as a sort of wacky version of the extinction of Neanderthal humans in the face of the species commonly known as Cro-Magnon Man. Except that in Aardman's version, the Cro-Magnons invented soccer and the Neanderthals beat them at their own game—with a little help from a giant carnivorous mallard duck.
Eddie Redmayne provides the voice of Dug, our Stone Age hero—and in so doing, Redmayne adds his name to that list of actors who are infinitely more interesting as the voice of an animated character than they are in roles where we can actually see their faces.
In the words of the Bronze Age maiden Goona (Maisie Williams of Game of Thrones), Dug is "really brave. And stupid. More stupid than brave, really." And that's his charm. Like Park's immortal Wallace, Dug has a combination pet-slash-sidekick who is much smarter than he is; in Dug's case, it's a pig named Hognob, whose limited vocals are supplied by Nick Park himself.
Dug and his fellow cavemen, led by Chief Bobnar (Timothy Spall), are happily ensconced in their wooded valley hunting rabbits when they are routed by the arrival of the technologically superior Bronze Agers, who plan to ravage Dug's valley for its mineral resources. In a fit of reckless bravado, Dug persuades his fellows to challenge the Bronzers to a winner-take-all match, and the second half of Early Man traces the comical process of training for and playing the big game.
And here, I'm forced into a confession: Soccer absolutely bores me to distraction. I know that's horribly narrow and provincial, and I feel just awful about it, I really do. Really. But ever since my fourth-grade teacher sent me and my classmates kicking a ball around a park, it has struck me as an idiotic waste of time. (I know, I know—Pelé, Dave Beckham, Mia Hamm and all that. It doesn't help.) So when Early Man's Bronzers and Stoners took the field, the movie lost me.
If you don't share my peculiar aversion to the world's most popular sport, feel free to nudge this review's rating up a star or two. Even if you do, check Early Man out anyway. Nick Park and Aardman don't have an unfunny movie in them.
They could probably even do one about golf.

I don't need a demonic clown screaming straight into the camera for two hours to feel terror, but Winchester is simply lazy.
SN&R Oscars Recap
In 12 Strong, our boys prevail against daunting odds, and if the movie ends before things get too complicated—well, that's the way drama works.
Thread of the class
Daniel Day-Lewis may get top billing, but the film belongs to Vicky Krieps as Alma, a beach town waitress who enters [his] orbit.

In the first Paddington, Writer-director Paul King showed the people behind Ferdinand, The Nut Job, Ice Age et al. just…how…it's…done. In Paddington 2, he shows them again.

Wright, Blanche Fisher. The Real Mother Goose. Third Edition Thus. 1951. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—endpapers show mild discoloration; previous owner's name is written on the flyleaf; and jacket shows fraying, chipping to upper spine, and taped repairs.
Rand McNally first published its version of the classic children's rhymes, illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright, in 1916. This edition from the early 1950s retains the antique quality of the early editions. Filled with color illustration, the book incudes all of the childhood favorites—"Jack and Jill," "London Bridge," "Rock-a-Bye, Baby," "Old Mother Hubbard," "Little Bo-Peep," and many more. Would be a great gift for a baby shower.
