Toi qui as entendu
I composed Toi qui as entendu very recently, after discovering this wonderful poem by Odile Riondet at the yearly general assembly of ACCREL. Inspired by the Gospel of John, chapter 3, it is meant to be used for baptisms or for the second week of easter and is built around a single word: "Chante !" ("Sing!" in French).
Laudate Dominum is a Christmas carol that starts with the psalm 130, De profundis, which is sung for the second vespers of Christmas, and expresses the cry of the Christ, descended on earth, to his Father. It is followed by a tenor aria with some lyrics from the Gospel of Luke (2, 10), when the angel comes to announce the birth of Jesus. It is finally concluded by a very long fugue on the Psalm 117, Laudate Dominum Omnes Gentes, used as an antiphon during the Christmas liturgical time.
Le Seigneur est tendresse et pitié – Psalm 102 – Lent version
Le Seigneur est tendresse et pitié - Psalm 102 is one of the two versions I recently composed for the national magazine Voix Nouvelles.

The challenge was to set up two relevant musics on the same psalm that would create two different spiritual atmospheres. Here is the version for the 3rd Sunday in Lent. The version for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time can be found there.

Rorate Cæli Desuper was composed in 2017 and this Christmas carol is more an "Advent carol" as the lyrics, from the book of Isaiah (45:8), are frequently sung as a plainsong at Mass and in the Divine Office during Advent where it gives expression to the longings of Patriarchs and Prophets, and symbolically of the Church, for the coming of the Messiah. Throughout Advent it occurs daily as the versicle and response after the hymn at Vespers.

Sunny Winter Days is a slow jazz piece that was written in 2008 for a friend of mine who plays alto saxophone.

Our Winter meeting focused on the wines of Portugal. Coming off what most critics say was their best vintage ever for red wines, 2011, we delved into these wines with an intense curiosity. People could bring reds, whites or dessert wines. Surprisingly, no one brought any Port. For food, we had some an authentic Portuguese dish in the potato gratin cod dish, steak with a ginger orange sauce, fried shrimp and shrimp egg rolls, and dessert we had an assortment of high end chocolate.
Interesting to see how close these wines were in quality. Typically we have something that either rises above the rest or is a definite outlier. Will have to continue to explore this region for reds and whites.


"If I could give 10 stars, I would!! This was perhaps the best decision of our entire wedding, in choosing Captus as our photographer. Pictures are what you will have for a lifetime, and Captus does such an incredible job at capturing your day. Thien and his assistant Justin are so calm and friendly, they make you feel right at ease throughout the entire day. I have both had my wedding done by Captus, and also gone to and been in weddings who have used them as their photographer, and have never been disappointed. Not only does Thien fit to your style and take pictures unique to YOU and your venue, he has an incredible and creative eye so they are one of a kind to your wedding day. I would recommend Captus wholeheartedly again and again, you will not regret it! Thank you Thien!!!"
"We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture those precious moments on the most important day of our lives. We originally choose Captus because they are a preferred vendor with the venue where we got married. We knew they were the right photographers for us when we saw all of the great pictures they have on their website. Thien spent the whole day with us and was really nice to work with. He is a talented photographer with an eye for taking incredible pictures. Thien is professional, experienced, artistic, and has a good sense of humor. Thien's calm demeanor helped to make a hectic day run smoothly. We have already received some of the pictures from Thien to use for our thank you cards and were so pleased with them. The pictures truly depict how happy we were on our wedding day. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I would highly recommend Thien and Captus Photography."
"I absolutely love Captus Photography! Thien was very creative and his style fit perfectly with ours. He was very understanding of our split family situation and handled everything very well. I loved the experience of working with them!"
"The people at Captus Photography are worth the 5-stars. Aside from casually knowing the photographer from college and having seen his work, I would highly recommend them based solely on their quality of work, professionalism, and personalities. These guys made our day a thousand times better!"
"Captus has nothing by my HIGHEST regards. Not only are they creative genius', but incredibly courteous & easy to work with. They can adjust to last minute details that pop up during the wedding day, & do everything possible to make sure the bride & groom have a FUN time taking photos, without all the stress. Got lots of other people & vendors buzzing around? Captus will work with & around other vendors with ease. But, best of all, the photos the Captus produces are nothing short of amazing. Thien shot both our engagement & wedding photos & his skill is impeccable. He is on top of the latest techniques & photography styles & it shows. Check out their blog & website for samples of his work. And... HIRE THEM!!!"
"Thien did our engagement pictures. Although my fiancé and I are a little awkward in front of a lens, he did a great job of guiding us in a casual and relaxed manner that encouraged us to really let loose and be ourselves. By the end of the shoot, having a camera pointed at us seemed like the most natural thing in the world. (Bring on the paparazzi!) Thien worked to capture our goofy personalities and to make the most of the location we chose. I was more than pleased with the pictures I saw. Can't wait for the wedding pictures!"
"These guys are awesome! SO FUN to work with & produce incredible images! You can't go wrong hiring Captus."
"So blessed to have had these guys shoot our wedding! They bring Incredible artistry to their work which makes them and your pictures different from the rest. Not only talented photographers but stand up people! Cannot recommend them highly enough."
"We loved working with Thien! He made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. His team then produced beautiful photographs we will treasure for years to come! We highly recommend these amazing photographers!"
"We have looked at all of them, and are really, really pleased! Thank you for your kindness, patience, talent, flexibility, think-outside-the-box-ness, etc. We are feeling really good."
"We got the wedding pictures today and we LOVE them!! Thank you so much for coming to Texas and being our photographer!!"


Bob Layman was standing in Thomas Heyward's parking lot on Thursday a few minutes after the girls basketball team's practice.
"I'm getting nervous already," Layman said.
Layman was talking about the team's game the next night at SCISA Region 3-AAA foe Porter-Gaud, but he also might have been talking about the possibility of the Rebels qualifying for the state playoffs.
Thomas Heyward defeated host Porter-Gaud 57-48 on Friday night, and with a 10-8 overall record (2-7 region) heading into Tuesday night's game against Hilton Head Prep, the Rebels are on the verge of competing in the state playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
Layman said getting 10 wins is an accomplishment, and reaching the playoffs would be a big achievement.
"That would be huge for us," he said.
Since Thomas Heyward's strength of schedule is strong, even though it is not among the region leaders, the Rebels are in a good position to secure an at-large bid.
It's the tough region and desire to play against top competition that has put the team in a prime spot for the playoffs.
"I've always been a big firm believer in playing over your head," Layman said. "You can't beat the best if you don't play against the best."
Region 3-AAA is loaded with quality opponents. Hilton Head Prep (23-3, 10-0), Northwood Academy (13-6, 7-3), and Pinewood Prep (15-4, 7-2) have defeated the Rebels this season, but Thomas Heyward has been competitive and that is something that SCISA will look at when picking at-large teams.
Rebels' freshman Jamie Malphrus said the competition makes the team want to improve.
"They're so good, but telling us we can do that good against them just makes me want to strive to do better," she said.
"Anytime you play teams that are better than you, you have to get better if you are any competitor at all," Layman said.
Malphrus hopes the team earns an at-large bid. For three years she played on the B team and this is her second varsity season. Even though she doesn't have much varsity experience, she's always had big expectations.
"It's been my goal since I was little to get to the state playoffs and now that we have a chance I'm real excited," said Malphrus, who leads the team with an average of 6.2 rebounds per game.
The Rebels are set to visit Ashley Hall on Thursday and host Pinewood Prep on Friday. They lost 33-30 to Ashley Hall earlier this season. The rematch is a game the Rebels believe they can win.
Thomas Heyward should have a healthy Brielle Jungblut for that game. Jungblut, a strong on-the-ball defender, dislocated her right shoulder last week, did not play last Friday and was not expected to play until the Ashley Hall game.
Layman hopes this is the time the whole team plays well.
"We haven't played to our potential yet, not even close," Layman said. "If I ever got all the girls to play their best game on the same night, it would be amazing."
Ashlie Layman leads the team in scoring (10.3 ppg), followed by Caitlyn Cooler (8.6) and Kayla Canavan (7.9).
The goal at the beginning of the season was to reach the state tournament, so Layman would be disappointed if the team wasn't competing when the playoffs begin Feb. 19.
"It would be a little bit of a blow," he said. "The girls worked really hard this year."

Q: Where can I get large road distance matrix from? I need to get real distance matrix (taking roads on board) between 320 locations. I have the information about theirs geographic coordinates.
I'd like to use Google Distance Matrix Api but there are limits making my task impossible or if I divided matrix on small pieces it would take a long time.
I'm thinking about OSRM and my own routing server but it requires much effort.
What do you think about Google? Have any experience with OSRM. Or maybe you can recommend something else.

A: OSRM matrix is very quick (seconds for 300 locations) but it provides driving times only. To get distances you'll have to call regular route service for each pair of coordinates (hours).
Other self hosted alternatives are GraphHopper (no matrix, repeated calls to route) and Valhalla (distance and time matrix).
If you have to prepare the matrix just once a pay-per-use matrix service could be a better option. Both GraphHopper and Valhalla's Mapzen provide one, check if your matrix size is supported and what the cost is.

A: You can also try Distancematrix.ai. This is an alternative to Google Maps Distance Matrix API, but it has even more advantages.
Main features:

*

*Accounts for traffic conditions, traffic jams, and restrictions

*Distances are calculated to account for driving, walking, or bicycling

*Departure and arrival time option is used to build a forecast

*Unlimited matrix size

*Easy migration, you have just to switch endpoint

Disclaimer: I work at the company that creates the API.

Can one link this particular individual along with somebody during my system for his or her shared advantage? End up being ingenious. Be considered a connection. Keep in mind that in the event that everybody begins considering with this path, nobody may actually have to help to make an additional chilly phone once again.

Irving is also involved in Umbrella Market, an online shop for one-of-a-kind items by Jeremy Fish, Mars-1, and others. This summer, look for a new line of Delphi tees, collaborative hats with Kangol, and art shows with Don Pendleton and Todd Francis. Right now, check Irving's must-haves.

I love this t-shirt, designed by my friends Michael and Laura Leon from Stacks for my other friend, Crownfarmer's Bob Kronbauer. Nothing is better than wearing a shirt that your friends designed, especially when you chose to pay full price for it because you like it so much.

Archaeology: The Indus Civilisation and the lost river
The mystery of how an early civilisation in northwest India and Pakistan thrived without a river source may have been solved in a study published in Nature Communications this week. These findings challenge our understanding of how early civilisations developed.
Early urban society settlements locations are thought to have been influenced by river migration. However, the largest concentration of the Bronze Age Indus Civilisation (who lived around 4,600-3,900 years ago) settlements were located between the Ganges-Yamuna and Indus river systems in India and Pakistan, far from major active rivers. How these settlements prospered away from rivers had remained unclear.
Sanjeev Gupta and colleagues find evidence of a major palaeochannel (the remnants of an ancient river) through these settlements, which was once part of the present-day Sutlej River. By dating the sediments from this ancient channel, they find that 8,000 years ago the river changed course. They show that the settlements did not develop adjacent to a large active river fed from the Himalaya as has commonly been believed. Instead the settlements thrived and continued to develop along the relict palaeochannel. The authors suggest that the diversion of the river led to reduced flooding, and that seasonal rains provided a water source in the upper valley, which together contributed to the success of the Indus Civilisation in this setting.

Black Forest Spa's skin care range combines the latest advances in skin care with nature's restorative properties. Scientifically formulated and tested, our range of products focuses on skin care for the face, under the eyes, neck and décolletage, hands and feet.
Collagen is a form of protein that is widespread throughout our body, found in areas such as muscles, bones, skin and tendons; its main properties are giving the skin it's elasticity and strength, as well as replacing dead skin cells. However as we age, the natural production of collagen slows down, causing sagging skin, wrinkles and signs of aging, which is why it's important to start looking after your skin.
If your skin is feeling dry and irritated, it's possibly lacking collagen, something the face masks from Boolavard can offer. Although there are multiple forms of Collagen treatment, face masks are best for the skin as they cover a wide surface area, leaving the skin feeling more elasticated and smoother.
It's nice to be able to take a trip to the spa, however fitting it in with our busy routines and finding the money to spare is easier said than done. This is why home treatments are becoming ever more popular, so you can sit down in your home and relax whilst you get the professional quality treatment you deserve. Boolavards Collagen masks are cost effective, easy-to-use and have no negative side effects, where-as other treatments can prove costly and potentially painful.

India is a land of spirituality as it is blessed with many sacred sites where according to the legends and the great epics God himself took birth as human beings to show the path of peace, harmony and happiness to people. Be it the legend of Lord Krishna in Vrindavan or the enlightening story of Lord Buddha in Bodhgaya, there is so much to learn and experience in India. There are many holy sites where miracles have happened; there are many sacred places where God has manifested himself in different forms. Going on a pilgrimage is not just a tradition in India, in fact it is the means to connect to one's own higher self, the creator who created us, know the true purpose of our lives and learn to create happiness within and without.
A spiritual experience awaits you in the fascinating land of India. The practice of pilgrimage is intricately woven into the culture of this country. People go on pilgrimages to search for answers which are beyond any religion, any community. They go there because they believe that pilgrimage sites are the places where the heaven and earth meet, the places where one gets the wisdom to attain liberation.

It includes four pilgrimage sites namely Badrinath Temple in Garwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand; Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka; Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odhisha and Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu.
Thousands of people visit the beautiful pilgrimage site Amarnath which is ideally located in the pristine land of Jammu and Kashmir. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. People from all religious backgrounds visit Dargah Sharif (a sufi shrine) in Ajmer to offer prayers. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is not only the holiest Sikh Gurdwara but a symbol of brotherhood and equality. Devotees flock in great numbers to the holy shrine of Shirdi in Maharashtra.

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement - Our Analysis
Indirect Tax Matters February 2021
Almost four and a half years after the Brexit referendum, the UK and EU negotiators signed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) on 24 December 2020, defining the future trading relationship between the two parties as of 1 January 2021.
The trade agreement sets definitions and common ground for the parties, e.g. in relation to the classification and valuation of goods under the World Trade Organization General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) provisions.
Most significantly, it eliminates customs duties on all trade in goods originating in the UK or the EU, representing the most extensive trade agreement on tariffs the EU has ever done.
These measures are in line with most modern EU Free Trade Agreements, and in some respects go further than the EU has before. With the UK as a significant trading partner, the agreement provides a potential platform for greater facilitations, simplifications and information exchange for Irish businesses.
What does the TCA include?
Tariff-free, quota-free trade in goods between the UK and EU. This is of particular importance to businesses in high tariff sectors such as food and agriculture.
Rules of Origin which recognise both UK and EU content as "originating" (known as full bilateral cumulation).
Self-certification for businesses - Irish exporters will be able to declare the origin of the goods through a statement, e.g. on an invoice, thereby making it easier for importers to prove the origin of their products. Importers may also be able claim preference based on their own knowledge or information. A statement of origin can cover multiple identical shipments over the course of a year.
Importers in the UK will have up to three years from the date of importation to claim preferential tariff treatment. The EU has also said statements of origin can be made from day one with the detailed proof of origin not being required until 2022.
What are the actions for the business?
Exporters in Ireland will be required to determine the correct classification code for their products and then establish the origin rule that applies under the TCA. We recommend that businesses keep clear evidence of origin calculation, certification and have robust record-keeping processes.
Importers in Great Britain will need to check that exporting suppliers understand the rules and provide evidence to support origin qualification. In order to claim preference at import, clear instructions should be provided to customs brokers and the country of origin should be clearly defined on all commercial documentation.
In order to facilitate trade, the EU has outlined that businesses will benefit from additional flexibility in collecting documentary evidence during the first year of operation of the TCA thus allowing businesses greater time to obtain evidence of origin.
The Revenue Commissioners have outlined the process for self-certification as follows:
To prove the origin of a product the Irish exporter should include a 'statement on origin' on either an invoice or any other document that describes the product in enough detail to identify that product.
The wording of the 'statement on origin' is given in Annex ORIG-4 of the Agreement.
For consignments valued above €6,000, businesses using a 'statement on origin' must be registered on the Registered Exporter System (REX).
For consignments valued at €6,000 or less, the 'statement on origin' can be made with no obligation to be registered on REX.
Alternatively, a claim for preferential tariff treatment may be made on the basis of 'importer's knowledge'. This allows the importer to claim preferential tariff treatment based on information in the form of supporting documents or records provided by the exporter or manufacturer, which are in the importer's possession.
Rules of Origin
The Agreement indicates that no goods originating from either the EU or the UK will be subject to customs duties or quotas when imported into the other Party's territory. To determine whether goods are eligible or not, the applicable rules of origin have to be considered. In short, goods imported into Ireland must be of UK origin to qualify for zero tariffs.
In order to qualify as UK originating products, the goods must be either
Wholly obtained in the UK,
Be produced entirely from raw materials sourced in the EU or the UK, or
Have been sufficiently processed in the UK.
Wholly originating
Businesses that trade in products such as fresh fruit, vegetables, live animals and extractable natural resources should consider whether these products meet the wholly originating criteria. They should determine whether such products are extracted, harvested or grown in the EU or the UK in order to be considered 'wholly obtained' and thus originating for the purposes of EU-UK TCA.
Sufficiently processed / minimal operations
Businesses that trade in manufactured or processed products firstly need to determine whether the products can be considered to have been sufficiently transformed in the EU or the UK. As a first step, a business should check whether the type of processing its products undergo is not the type of minimal operations that would be insufficient to confer origin to that product. This could include such operations as labelling or simple assembly and are listed in Article ORIG.7 of the TCA. This list only applies to products sourced outside the EU/UK, otherwise known as Non Originating Materials (NOM).
If the type of processing or manufacturing taking place in the EU or the UK goes beyond the "minimal operations" and can be considered as sufficient processing, the business determining the origin of the goods then needs to review the requirements contained in the "Products Specific Rules of Origin" contained in Annex ORIG-2.
These product-specific rules stipulate what kind of alteration must happen to the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the exported product to ensure that the product is eligible for the zero customs rate under the EU-UK TCA.
Depending on the type of the product, there can be several criteria for the product specific preferential origin rules. These include:
Manufacture from wholly obtained materials;
Change in tariff classification,
A specific processing operation; and/or
A limit on the value or percentage of non-originating materials.
In summary, while the Agreement provides a relief for businesses in relation to tariffs, businesses should ensure that they are compliant with the rules of origin for their products in order to avoid costly mistakes going forward.
If you have any questions about the customs impact of the EU-UK Agreement on your business, or would like specific advice on complying with the origin requirements, please contact Donna Hemphill or Vincent McCullagh.

Phase 1 and 2 of Branford FL's Procko Skatepark by Misiano Skateparks 2014 and 2015.
Breaking ground in April, 2015! Phase 2 of the Branford Skatepark. We're adding an 8' deep bowl!

"Having established a signature style of incorporating melodic hooks and emotive synths to typical drum & bass and jungle rhythms, Berlin-based producer Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum clearly has a rare and distinct ear for pop sensibilities as well as, 'the drops'. However, he's managed to maintain musical freedom gracing labels like LuckyMe, Planet Mu, and Hotflush Records via productions under his own name as well as double-teaming with Praveen Sharma (aka Braille) as Sepalcure for more ambient electronica pieces, as well as the more dancefloor-centric JETS project with fellow Berliner Jimmy Edgar.
Stewart's LP Vapor City, set for release on Ninja Tune on September 23rd, is something of a concept album. Based on recurring dreams he had for years about a vivid metropolis which he can describe in detail district by district, Vapor City is his fully-formed soundscape as a map into this imaginary universe. We spoke to Dominic Flannigan of LuckyMe, who designed the grainy, dystopic album artwork.
"Having worked closely with Travis (Machinedrum) as a creative director since his return to releasing music in 2010 we maintain a certain synergy for how his music 'looks'. He's continued to be my favourite artist to work with – approaching each project with a formed concept and palette. For his last release Room(s) I took the approach of finishing a sketch in the time it took him to finish a song – for Vapor City, it feels like a more invested project spanning different moods and medium. Travis wrote us these long notes about a recurring dream he'd had – a city of different districts each intimately tied into him. The album was a soundtrack to this space. This is exactly the sort of brief I love. The idea is there, it's formed, and my job is to make some aesthetic decisions. Nothing more. My role in this is to merely convey his vision of the work.
I feel like we've made as many attempts to get this right as Travis, who originally sent me over 60 tracks to be whittled down to the final album. We've mapped a city, taken suitable photography to evoke each place and then screenprinted the images. We then asked Eclair Fifi to hand render pointillized and japanese brush illustrations of them to try break down any solid lines – make the work feel more dream like. Our final step was to screen print again. Then I derived type from a fusion of Berlin & New York's underground signage – Travis's two home cities. Our final step was to design a single Vapor City 'seal' that would carry across all the work.

Southern Cameroons
Southern Cameroons was the southern part of the British Mandate territory of Cameroons in West Africa. Since 1961 it is part of the Republic of Cameroon, where it makes up the Northwest Region and Southwest Region. Since 1994, pressure groups in the territory have sought independence from the Republic of Cameroon, and the Republic of Ambazonia was declared by the Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation (SCAPO) on 31 August 2006.
League of Nations Mandate
Following the Treaty of Versailles, the German territory of Kamerun was divided on June 28, 1919, between a French and a British League of Nations Mandate, the French, who had previously administered the whole occupied territory, getting the larger. The French mandate was known as Cameroun. The British mandate comprised two geographically separate territories, Northern Cameroons and Southern Cameroons. They were administered from, but not joined to, the British territory of Nigeria through the British Resident (although some incumbents had the rank of District Officer, Senior Resident or Deputy Resident) with headquarters in Buea.

'Notorious' Actress Angela Bassett Says Biggie's Mom Is 'Fascinating'
'I have seen a great deal of life worth living despite a major tragedy,' actress says of Voletta Wallace.
Shaheem Reid 12/16/2008
[movieperson id="3969"]Angela Bassett[/movieperson] says the kinship that grew between her and the [artist id="13432"]Notorious B.I.G.'s[/artist] mom, Voletta Wallace, was that of two girlfriends. Wallace handpicked Bassett to play her in the Biggie biopic "Notorious," due January 16.
"I spoke to her on the phone," Mrs. Wallace said of her first interaction with Bassett. "I was out in California visiting my grandson. We had the opportunity to meet. I was over at [[artist id="21433"]Faith Evans'[/artist] house when Angela] came over. We sat and had dinner and had a long talk."
One of the most challenging aspects of playing Wallace was getting down the Jamaican accent, Bassett said. "It took awhile," the actress admitted. "Some of it, I had to work on it, get it later."
"Certain parts of the script, I taped my voice, and I guess that's how she got my accent," Wallace said. "They sent me tapes, I sent her tapes. And I was on the set every day. So there was not a time when she said, 'Oh, Mrs. Wallace, how was that?' She didn't have to do that. We had lunch together a lot. We had breakfast one morning. We'd just chat, woman to woman, mother to mother. We had a nice rapport together."
Bassett says having Wallace watch her every day made her a little nervous, but she was also reassured. "It can be a little intimidating, because you hope you're getting it right," she said. "You hope you're meeting their standards. We all have a way of seeing ourselves, the truth of it as we wish it were. Some of us are real honest with ourselves. Some of us embellish it. Mrs. Wallace is a straight shooter. Any question I had, I could go right to her. Lean into it. It was like girlfriends.
"She's a major part of the reason," Bassett added about why she chose to appear in the film. "Of course Biggie. It's a story about him, first and foremost. A major force in the hip-hop genre. One of the emissaries, gone too soon. He's one of the major bright lights in that arena. The type of person [Mrs. Wallace is], she is just fascinating to me. Her strength, her vulnerability, her ability to still laugh every day. To be supportive, to be on the set. I have seen a great deal of life worth living despite a major tragedy. That's a lesson each of us can take in some measure — large and small — with us into the issues we have to deal with day to day in our lives."
MTV News has some B.I.G. things on the horizon surrounding "Notorious" and its soundtrack — stay tuned for more in the coming days.

Death knock
Oct 14, 2018 | Jonathan
I've recently started watching the BBC series Press, an enjoyable and polished drama which follows the adventures of the staff on two fictional daily newspapers.
While certain shortcuts are taken or cliches pursued for dramatic purposes, there is enough in there which is familiar to pique the interest of an old newspaperman.
The conflict of the approaches of a left-leaning liberal publication which flounders while it attempts to maintain strict editorial principles with the thriving tabloid where the editor demands his reporters dig up 'dirt' is a quandary many journalists will have wrestled with.
Similarly the struggles of a diminishing industry dealing with the new commercial challenges of a digital age is well observed. The scene where the editor of the Guardian-like Herald explains to her groaning staff how the following Monday's edition is going to have an advertising 'wraparound' covering the front and back pages is accurate. I've been in the room on more than one occasion while that very conversation has taken place.
Also the underlying theme of how being at the forefront of driving the news agenda requires sacrifices which can destroy family life or good mental health is a little too recognisable for me to properly enjoy.
But it is another scene altogether which I perhaps found most impactful. The first episode of the drama is called 'Death Knock' and part of the story surrounds a young reporter on the tabloid Post agonising over having to rap the door of the grieving parents of a young footballer who has taken his own life. Just watching it made me uncomfortable.
For several years I was the crime reporter on a daily newspaper. In far distant days the paper produced an evening edition. This meant that the reporters started work very early in the morning to meet the deadlines of a PM print run.
As the crime reporter my first duty was always to check the overnight police notes. Then, not always but often, while the rest of society was just waking up I would be on the road to do a death or crime knock.
I would be reasonably confident in stating that for several years back near the start of this millennium I had at least as many of these difficult encounters as any other journalist in Northern Ireland.
But despite the multitude of death knocks, the ritual never seemed to get any easier. My stomach never quite settled, my nerves were always raw. I could never shake the persistent feeling that I was doing something quite awful.
Yes there was and is a clear and genuine public interest in allowing bereaved families to tell their stories, but I always felt mercenary. Newspapers peddle in grief and anguish and I knew a strong human interest story would always make the front page.
In addition I had to balance the guilt over talking to a victim's family with the fear of having to go back to the office to face my editor empty handed.
Often I thought about how I would react if I had been bereaved and a young journalist came calling at my door reeking of desperation to get the story.
Techniques evolved through practice. Most people's original reaction is to tell you to fuck off. But if you can just get them talking first, just a little opening before the door slams in your face, the smallest of human connections, then you know you're in with a much better chance of getting the interview.
And all people are different. The death knock demonstrated the hugely varying methods that the human nature uses to cope with great adversity. Often I was verbally abused and described as 'scum'. On a few occasions I was advised to leave property for my own health and was pushed and shoved more than once.
But then there were the people who just wanted to talk, who found something cathartic in sharing at a time when their grief must have been overwhelming.
I'll never forget the family of one high profile murder victim in Belfast. I was the first journalist to find their house and knocked on their door less than six hours after their son had been killed. The parents invited me into their home and were unfailingly generous and open with their time. The tearful mother asked me if I'd had any breakfast and then insisted on making me tea and toast. A more compelling example of human strength and dignity I'm not sure I've ever witnessed.
There were disasters too. Hours spent unsuccessfully knocking on doors asking if this was the right house, cases of mistaken identity or where incorrect information which had been passed on. I remember once waking a middle-aged gentleman from his sleep to ask him if it was his son had been lost the night before. It was the wrong house but the momentary look of fear and horror on his face disturbed me greatly.
It never happened to me but I've heard of occasions where journalists or photographers found a victim's house so quickly that the family had not yet been informed of a tragedy.
In my later years in journalism things changed. I was on the newsdesk so became responsible for sending other reporters to do death knocks rather than carrying them out myself.
But the routine was always the same. The reporter was loathe to leave the office, often hanging around or killing time until I firmly told them they had to do it. Several times journalists informed me they were uncomfortable. I told them that was the natural reaction, the day when they were not uncomfortable was when they should begin to worry.
In more recent times social media and the dwindling resources of newspapers changed the situation further. Rather than knocking on a stranger's door and asking them for a picture, photographs can often be found online. Rather than needing to get live quotes from a family member, there is usually a flood of online tributes which can be harvested. Doors are still knocked but perhaps not quite as often.
But this new situation presented a new series of problems. On occasion I received angry phone calls from grieving relatives who demanded to know the source of our photo or quotes. When I told them that they freely available online it rarely placated their hostility.
The truth is that there is just enough grey area about the rights of information publicly accessible on social media that newspapers are able to charge right through the vacuum and hoover up what is available. It is a rare and brave journalist who will decline the chance to lift a photo from social media when he or she is aware that all of the competitors have almost certainly already done so.
There is no doubt that much of the most powerful journalism comes from families telling their story of facing grief or adversity. I know personally of instances where families have channeled the story of their tragedy through the media to push for justice or vital societal change.
The death knock will always be part of journalism. And it should be.
But that doesn't make it any easier to perform.
As a former hack now there are still many parts of the game which I fondly remember and miss. The early morning rap on the door is not one of them.

make: Nothing to be done for `rinside_sample0.cpp'.

I have seen suggestions like !unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH;, but I do not know how to do this in my case.

A: The use pattern is to

*

*cd into the examples/standard/ directory

*run make

*or run make rinside_sample0  (or any other name) if you want to build just one.
You can add your own files, and make nameofthefile will build an executable.
In short, you can't just call g++ as you did.

Freshman Allysan Tse drives to the basket in the Tigers' blowout win.
The girls' basketball team won big in their first league game against the San Marino Titans on Saturday by a score of 64-29. The Tigers played strong both offensively and defensively, edging the Titans out and maintaining a considerable lead throughout the game.
The Tigers started off strong, with senior Lauren Kafkaloff scoring the first basket of the game. The pace quickly picked up after that point, with junior Megan Yee scoring the next few points and junior Charlize Kruzic following up with a three-pointer. The girls exemplified superb defense, boxing out their opponents and leaping at any opportunity to steal the ball and score points. At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers led 20-5 over the Titans.
The team kept up the pace in the second and third quarters, starting off the play with a three-pointer by senior Flannery Clark. The Tigers maintained their aggressive performance with strong ball movement, which created additional offensive opportunities. The third quarter saw many of these instances, when Kruzic skillfully snatched the ball from the Titan's pressing offensive play and assisted freshman Allysan Tse in scoring. This excellent teamwork kept the Tigers well above the Titans for the entirety of the game, ending the third quarter with a 52-18 lead.
The Tigers had no reason to worry about a Titan comeback during the fourth quarter, but the team continued their aggressive play in the final minutes. Junior Isabelle Sudijono scored multiple times in the final quarter, and shots made by Kafkaloff and senior Kayla Zhang kept the Tigers well ahead of the Titans. The final score was 64-29, a huge win for the girls.
South Pas will look to keep the momentum going against the Temple City Rams on Tuesday, January 8th.


Note on the Geology of Kauroo Hill.
As may be inferred from other comments by McKay (loc. cit.), and as Cotton (1917, Fig. 2, Plate xxxi; 1922, Figs. 147, 152) has illustrated, the north-eastern slope of the Kakanui Range is an almost completely stripped portion of the Cretaceous peneplain passing downwards beneath its covering sediments in the broad valley of the Kakanui River. On the higher portions of the range are residual masses of Late Tertiary basic lavas either resting directly on the greywackes and argillites which are exposed on the Cretaceous peneplain or are separated therefrom by a small thickness of quartz-grits, the upper surface of which marks the local level of the "Miocene"* peneplain. (See Part I, Fig. 2, Section X–X, and notes on Locs. 89–95 given above). On the lower portion of the slopes of the range a residual mass of the covering strata capped by a doleritic basalt forms a mesa (Cotton, 1922, Fig. 152) termed Government Hill (Loc. 87), which differs from the above-mentioned lava-capped residuals in that its igneous cover has all the petrographic features which distinguish the usually sheet-forming pre-Miocene basic igneous rocks of Oamaru, Mount Charles and Moeraki from the more alkaline late Tertiary lavas herein described. The features of the older rocks have been briefly noted by Hutton (1889) and Marshall (1925), and will be discussed in detail elsewhere. Kauroo Hill, so far as is known at present, is unique in Eastern Otago in that basic igneous rocks of both Older and Later Tertiary age occur in close association separated by the trace of the "Miocene" peneplain.
The Cretaceous peneplain, sloping down from the summit of the Kakanui Range, is broken by a fault which forms the tectonic boundary of the Kakanui Valley adjacent to Kauroo Hill, the region beneath that valley and hill having been thrown down some 200–300 feet. The downthrown surface of the peneplain is for the most part concealed beneath Kauroo Hill, but on either side thereof the removal of the sediments covering the peneplain has brought into striking relief a fault-line scarp through which emerge the gorges of the superposed valleys of Kauroo River and Fuchsia Creek.
[Footnote] * See footnote on p. 85.
from the Abbotsford Mudstone of the Dunedin District, and like it, exceedingly prone to land-slip movements. About 600 feet thick of this mudstone occurs below a sheet of dolerite-basalt, approximately 50 feet thick, forming the flat-topped northern and southern spurs of Kauroo Hill. This rock (5719) has the petrographic characteristics of the Older Tertiary dolerite-basalts as distinct from those displayed in the Late Tertiary basic lavas of comparable grain-size. The concealment of the lower margin of this sheet by creeping soil prevents decision as to its intrusive or effusive character, though the probability of the former is suggested by comparison with similar rock-masses near Moeraki.
The cap of Kauroo Hill is a steep cone rising about 280 feet above the surface of the doleritic basalt. It consists chiefly of finegrained occasionally vesicular iddingsitic nephelinite (5718, 5739) resting on a thin flow of slightly zeolitic doleritic feldspar-olivine basalt (5788). Both of these are described above, and are clearly comparable with Late Tertiary lavas. The lower flow is separated from the underlying dolerite by not more than a few feet thick of coarse quartzite gravel and brown chloritic sandstone, which is exposed on the north, east and south sides of the peak. The boulders seem to have been derived from locally silicified portions of the quartz-grits, such as rest on the Cretaceous peneplain on the upper parts of the Kakanui Range, and may be supposed to have been deposited as flood-plain gravels when the older dolerite was laid bare during the formation of the so-called "Late Miocene" peneplain, and may mark the approximate level of that peneplain in the neighbourhood of Kauroo Hill, namely about 650 feet above the Cretaceous peneplain. If that be so, the angle of inclination between the two peneplains is here rather less than four degrees.
The Late Tertiary lavas in the vicinity of the peak comprise not only the two masses mentioned, but also an extension of the zeolitic dolerite-basalt capping the hills to the east-north-east of Kauroo Hill (5738), and a mass of iddingsitic nephelinite forming the eastern buttress of the peak (5717, 5736, 5761, 5788), and thinner but still massive outliers extending nearly a mile further to the east and south-east (5714, 5740, 5770). The localities whence the several described specimens were collected are denoted by the two last digits of the corresponding specimen-numbers on the map (Fig. 3). The steeper slopes beyond these massive outliers are littered by drifted residual blocks of nephelinite.
dolerite-capped mesa, accumulated against its flank until it flooded over its upper surface. The overlapping of an eroded scarp of Caversham sandstone by the early basaltic lavas at St. Clair may be recalled in this connection. (See Part I of this series, fig. 1.) The second variant of the hypothesis seems, however, on topographic grounds, to be less acceptable than the first, which is not without its difficulties. An alternative hypothesis holds that the Late Tertiary lavas on Kauroo Hill was derived from the vent adjacent to the fault-line on the western side of Fuchsia Creek, and flowed eastward on the Miocene peneplain covering and extending beyond the mass of older dolerite. Later, when uplift and erosion had allowed the excavation of the valleys of the Kauroo River and Fuchsia Creek, extensive mass-movements in the glauconitic mudstone resulted in the downward slumping of mudstones and their lava cover on the eastern side of Kauroo Hill. The margin of the older dolerite on this side is, on this view, a slump-scarp comparable with that occurring on the north-eastern face of Swampy Hill, near Dunedin (see Benson, 1940, fig. 5), except that a remnant of the subsided portion of the nephelinite remains tilted against this scarp to form the eastern buttress. This explanation, however, is difficult to reconcile with the formation of the valley of Fuchsia Creek in its present position, and cannot yet be supported on petrographic grounds, since the only specimen obtained from the Fuchsia Creek volcanic vent differs from any microscopically examined lava on or east of Kauroo Hill, in that it is apparently atlantitic in composition (5737). So far, however, only a very hasty examination of the Fuchsia Creek vent has been made, and further study would be desirable.
Whichever (if either) of these hypotheses be true, it seems clear that uplift following the Late Cainozoic eruptions caused the rejuvenation of the valleys draining the area, and the formation of the steeper lower slopes of Kauroo Hill down which have drifted masses of residual boulders, chiefly of nephelinite, accumulations of which cap and protect the lower spurs of the main hill. It also made possible the removal of the covering strata from the Cretaceous peneplain west of Kauroo Hill, and the superposition on to and incision into that surface of the streams which originated as consequent streams on the tilted surface of the Late Tertiary peneplain when the Kakanui Range was being lifted up to its present elevation.

Looking for the latest news on the Marin real estate market? You've come to the right place. The March numbers are in and compared to a year ago at the same time, overall inventories (number of homes on the Marin real estate market) are about 39% higher while the median price of homes sold last month was down 2.6%.
So what is driving the market right now? I believe inventories are up because sellers realize the last market peak is likely behind us and are wanting to get their homes on the market in the event we see a longer-term softening in demand. Buyers are also coming out of the woodwork as we see the lowest mortgage rates in a year.
What's All This Talk About IPO's?
Last month I mentioned a New York Times article that breathlessly predicted that San Francisco would "drown in millionaires" from the Initial Public Stock Offerings of local companies like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb and even Levi Strauss & Co. This article and others like it have become the talk of the town, and the IPO's have become part of the public consciousness. Before last month, I had not heard the term "IPO" in months. Now I hear it almost daily.
I do think we may see an impact on the real estate markets in SF and the South Bay, where like Marin County we see inventories up versus prior years and pricing beginning to soften. And what happens in SF impacts Marin, especially southern Marin. This combined with declining interest rates could add some fuel to the market and make the breather we have seen over the last 5 months be just that — a breather until the Marin real estate market resumes its multi-decade march upwards.
I do know it has impacted buyer sentiment – with some buyers saying they are "racing" to find a property not only to get the kids settled in school before next fall, but also to make sure they are not competing with these future IPO millionaires. Time will tell us if this is hype or just "two hours of thunder and two drops of rain" as my momma used to say.
These monthly Marin County real estate market reports are a great place to start as you learn more about the market. Let's continue the conversation — I am always happy to discuss the market, and the best way to approach it whether you are a buyer or a seller.
To those who read this report, thank you for all your support of my business. I couldn't do it without you. Call or text me at 415-847-5584 anytime. Let's talk real estate!
For sale prices increased by 2.8% versus last month and decreased by 12.5% versus the same month a year ago.
Average sold prices increased by 2.6% vs. last month and decreased by 4.2% vs. the same month a year ago.
The median sold price increased by 2.6% versus last month and decreased by 2.6% vs. last year.
The average price per square foot sold increased by 6.8% vs. last month and decreased by 5.1% compared to the same month last year.
Number of homes for sale increased by 30.3% vs. last month and increased by 39.1% vs. the same month last year.
Number of homes sold increased by 23.7% vs. last month and decreased by 3.6% versus the same month last year.
Months of inventory increased by 4.2% vs. last month and increased by 40% versus the same month last year.
The average days on market decreased by 24.2% vs. last month and increased by 47.1% vs. last year.
SELLERS: The sellers' market of years past is quickly fading away, being replaced by a market that is much more balanced. Buyers are well-educated and the majority in Marin County are working with very experienced and savvy agents who know values and comparative sales ("comps"). Overpricing in a flattening to declining market can be a fatal mistake, causing your property to become stale and languish on the market. Now, more than ever, an experienced agent armed with the latest market facts and trends is critical. REMEMBER THE THREE P'S: PRICE, PRESENTATION, AND PRICE.
BUYERS: For home buyers, the market is improving as more inventory comes online. However, an increasing percentage of homes never appear on MLS as they are sold "off-market" as pocket listings or top agent referrals. Work with a well-connected agent and be prepared to move quickly. Chances are you are looking for the same things most other buyers are also seeking (see my list below.) Set up property alerts on my website so you can immediately see new homes on the market, and make sure you are pre-qualified so you present a compelling offer. (You may wish to read my article Buying a Home in Marin County for more tips and advice.) One other tip: Ask your agent to run aged inventory reports in and above your price range. Sometimes there are some real gems that the market has overlooked due to pricing or other factors. Sellers may not have caught up with the changing dynamics of the market now — and it may take more negotiation than in the past to strike a deal.

Kentucky Gubernatorial Candidate Calls for Marijuana Decriminalization
MC News April 8, 2019 Kentucky Gubernatorial Candidate Calls for Marijuana Decriminalization2019-04-09T06:43:55+00:00 Oregon Marijuana News No Comment
Gubernatorial candidate Adam Edelen called for the decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana in Kentucky on Monday. Under the plan, possession of less than half an ounce of cannabis would be charged as a civil offense, similar to a traffic violation, and subject to a fine of up to $100. Currently, possession of cannabis is a Class B misdemeanor, the lowest level crime in Kentucky, with convictions penalized with up to 45 days behind bars.
Edelen, who was elected as Kentucky state auditor in 2011, planned campaign stops in Lexington and Louisville on Monday to share the details of his decriminalization proposal. He said in a press release that it is time to reform cannabis policy in Kentucky.
"We need modern laws that reflect our modern world and that means that no one should be held in jail for weeks or be forced into a criminal justice system that limits their potential just for having a small bag of marijuana," Edelen said. "It's bad policy and the time has come to change the way we treat marijuana."
More than 11,000 Kentucky residents were convicted of marijuana possession last year, according to Edelen's campaign, which also noted that research in 2013
