Life After Bravo
What Does Jenni Pulos Think About Jeff Lewis Becoming a Father?
August 4, 2016, 11:01 AM ET
The #FlippingOut mom has already seen a change in her boss.
By Laura Rosenfeld
What Does Jenni Pulos Think of Jeff Lewis Becoming a Dad?
Jeff Lewis and Gage Edward are due to welcome their first child via surrogate this fall, and we're getting an intimate look at their road to fatherhood this season of Flipping Out. So far, it looks like the thought of raising a child of their own has been exciting and anxiety-inducing for the couple.
However, Jeff's longtime executive assistant Jenni Pulos, who is mom to 3-year-old daughter Alianna, has every confidence that they will do a great job as parents. "I think Jeff and Gage will be incredible fathers," Jenni told The Daily Dish (clip above). "I think one may end up being more the disciplinarian, one may be a little more of the fun, but they both are amazing with Alianna, and she both loves them. And you can kind of see for different reasons, so I think that they'll take that on as parents."
The fact that we haven't seen Jeff and Gage really show too much emotion on Flipping Out about their soon-to-be baby girl isn't that surprising to Jenni. "Overall, I think they are so elated and nervous and terrified, which is all normal. But I think they just can't wait," she said. "They are the kind of people, both of them, that they aren't going to get overexcited just until the day is finally here."
Though it's natural for anyone to have a little bit of fear while approaching parenthood, Jenni admitted that Jeff may be having a tougher time, considering his preference for being in control of the situation. "I think because of Jeff's control issues that, yeah, maybe even secretly he's more terrified than most because he's conjuring up things that probably won't even happen. But I think everybody does that, you know, in whatever way they process things," she said. "So I think overall, his attention to detail and all the things that makes him great about work will also make him a great parent."
It's a Bumpy Ride as Jeff and Gage Clash in the Fast Lane
It may be difficult to imagine Jeff and Gage having time to raise a child, considering their busy and demanding careers, but Jenni said they have already reorganized their priorities. "I have definitely seen both a change in Jeff and Gage. I have seen them kind of soften up, if you will, about even work," she said.
In fact, making the time to be with their baby girl is one of the things Jenni said "Jeff and Gage will both do effortlessly." "I think they both really enjoy their time with my daughter, so I can only imagine when they have their own," she said, adding that she hopes the couple's new bundle of joy adopts Jeff's "humor and childlike spirit." "They want to be there. They love it. They soak it in. They want to play games with her."
It sounds like Alianna is returning the favor by helping Jeff and Gage prep for their baby, in a way. "I've already given them some of my daughter's most precious baby clothes because sometimes they wear them once or twice, and you pass it on," Jenni said (clip below). "[Jeff]'s not, 'Oh, I need everything new.' He's like, 'Give it to me. I love it.'"
How Is Jenni Pulos Helping Jeff Lewis Prepare for His Baby?
Jenni said she has also gotten Jeff and Gage a few other baby gifts so far, including swaddle blankets. She also joked that she wants to gift Jeff the Baby Shusher to get him "back for all those years of shushing" her. "I think rather than one big gift, I just want to keep giving them gifts along the way," she said.
Jenni also can't wait for Alianna to have a new friend. "I have already thought about babysitting playdates with Alianna and their baby," Jenni said. "She's really excited to have a baby sister cousin, if you will. The other night she had both of her dolls, and she said, 'This is the baby, and I am the sister.' So, you know, I think she's preparing for another little friend."
As Jeff and Gage get the nursery ready for their daughter's arrival, it does make you wonder how the baby will impact the whole Jeff Lewis Design team since they all work in their home. "We'll see how that all pans out. I think it could cause them to make a change. Maybe early on they'll realize, 'No, we want the office out of the house.' Or maybe they'll just find a way to make it all work and balance," Jenni said. "I think first thing's first, they need to finish their house because they're living in a construction zone. So baby steps, if you will."
Show Highlight
This Is a Dysfunctional House
Learning how to take things one step at a time is just one of the many lessons Jeff and Gage will encounter as parents, according to Jenni. "That's just what parenting and life is, really, day-by-day," she said. "Don't overjump, don't overthink. And that's the best lesson, I think, for Jeff."

Bella is just feeling pretty mellow yellow as she settles in her little world within her basket. Along with the blue seasonal bow on the handle there was one little yellow flower twined along the edge. I left it to see if she or anyone would take an interest. Bella is well aware of her charms and her beauty, and just how to compose a good photo. Below, she's feeling groovy. Must have been catchy from the photo below in 2013.

I wrote a preview for Federer-Brands last week so I thought that I would a pick out a different match and the one between Marcel Granollers and Federico Delbonis should be an interesting one. Delbonis made the final in Hamburg and beat the defending champion (albeit returning from injury) Thomasz Bellucci in a tight two setter in their first round match. Granollers upset Lukas Rosol, 6-2 6-4, who has not been playing well of late and lost his last 5 matches on the ATP tour. I just found out from looking on the ATP tour that Rosol is 28 years old, which I never knew! This will be a first career match-up between Granollers and Delbonis and I fancy that Granollers will be the fresher and stronger of the pair.

So here's the deal: you want to avoid giving out the username and password to your accounts when at all possible. However, when an external person (web designer, developer, marketer, or consultant) is helping you with something, they often need a certain level of access to a bunch of different accounts.
Instead of giving them your admin login, you can often add them as a user, limiting their access to only the things they actually need instead of giving them all the power.
The problem is, adding someone as a user is a bit of a different process for different accounts. Google Analytics works differently than Mailchimp, which works differently than WordPress. So, in the moment, it's tempting to just hand over the username and password to your account and deal with it later.
There are some things you can't send through email because they contain executable files. Think plugins and add-ons. For example, if your website uses Ninja Forms and you wanted to use one of their add-ons, you wouldn't be able to attach the add-on file to an email and send it to whoever is helping you.
You might be tempted to just give the person your account info so they could go download it themselves.
Again, resist! Instead, download the file and add it to some sort of file sharing service (like Google Drive or Dropbox).
This will be an ever-growing list, and has begun with the accounts we often encounter over at Wanderoak. If there's one you find yourself constantly requesting access for, send me an email (to bobbi@westartwithgood.co) and I'll see about adding it to the list!

Q: Where is my server located? Does anyone know where my Instance server is located? My organisation is located in Berlin, Europe.

A: Officially SFDC does not tell you where your instance is located, as it is a 'software-as-a-service'. However, you could do a ip lookup on your url to find out.
E.g. via https://www.iplocation.net/ I found out that eu1.salesforce.com (and also any other EU server I checked) is located in Staines, UK.
As a general rule-of-thumb SFDC assigns customers to a data center that is closest to the customer location.
Also note that SFDC might change the location of your instance in the future. New data centers are opening in France and Germany, so you might move there in the coming years.

A: If you are not using a custom domain name then it will have the Salesforce node in the URL, e.g.

https://cs26.salesforce.com/setup/forcecomHomepage.apexp?setupid=ForceCom&retURL=%2Fhome%2Fhome.jsp

is on node cs26
There is no site where it is explicitly stated where Salesforce nodes are hosted as the EU nodes are primarily hosted in the UK data centre but failover and backup is not necessarily going to another EU data centre.
Trust Data Centres on the trust.salesforce.com site does not mention locations or any mapping of nodes to sites.
The compliance part of the trust site mentions Safe Harbour and its other certifications.

It is not generally known, but electricity is the most common cause of fires in both the home and industry. It is taken for granted by most people who use it constantly all day, every day.
In this introductory course we will explain the basics of electricity, what it is and how it works. We will learn about the different types of circuit, electrical safety and the relevant terminology.
We will also look at the various ways electricity can be produced and how it is then supplied to users.

Hillary Clinton's Gun Proposals Expose Democratic Divide
By Jessica Taylor,
Published October 5, 2015 at 2:04 PM CDT
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during a campaign stop at Manchester Community College on Monday.
This post was updated at 4:45 p.m.
Hillary Clinton unveiled her gun-control proposals on Monday in New Hampshire, calling for what she sees as "common-sense approaches" to minimize gun violence less than a week after the latest mass shooting.
After nine people were killed at an Oregon community college last Thursday, gun control has re-emerged as a top issue on the campaign trail. A visibly upset President Obama took to the White House podium after the shooting to bemoan perpetual congressional inaction after any incident, saying these incidents should, indeed, be politicized.
Democratic candidates are starting to do just that, but there are marked differences between them. Those differences will likely be highlighted at the candidates' first debate Oct. 14.
Among Clinton's proposals are:
pledging to act through executive action to close the gun-show loophole
tightening Internet gun sales, if Congress doesn't act
repealing a law that shields gun manufacturers from certain lawsuits
closing the "Charleston loophole"
prohibiting domestic abusers from being able to buy and possess firearms
In 2013, following the Sandy Hook shooting, the Senate tried and failed to pass stricter background screenings, closing the gun-show loophole and restricting Internet sales.
While introducing her plan at a New Hampshire community college Monday, Clinton brought up on stage Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan was among the 20 children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in December 2012.
"It is time for us to say we're better than this. Our country is better than this," Clinton said, bemoaning that "this epidemic of gun violence knows no boundaries."
Clinton's support for repealing the law protecting gun manufacturers presents a contrast with her top opponent, Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders, who leads Clinton in New Hampshire, voted in favor of that 2005 bill.
The "Charleston loophole" allows a gun sale to go forward even if a background check hasn't been completed within three days. Such an oversight allowed the alleged shooter in the Charleston church massacre to kill nine African-Americans worshiping at a Wednesday night Bible study in June.
It's the first major proposal from Clinton during this campaign on gun control.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has already put out a more sweeping plan. Among his proposals are:
banning the sale of assault weapons
requiring everyone who buys a gun to be fingerprinted and get a license
pushing gun-makers to install updated safety technology
making gun trafficking a federal crime
establishing a national firearms registry
requiring better home storage of guns
setting a minimum age requirement of 21 to own a handgun
A superPAC backing O'Malley has already criticized Sanders for his mixed background on gun control. Sanders has voted to allow guns on Amtrak and opposed the Brady Bill. The NRA even helped Sanders win his first race for Congress, though he now has a dismal record with the group. He has a D-minus rating from the group, something he has touted on the campaign trail.
Sanders hasn't put out a comprehensive gun control plan yet, and there's no section devoted to exactly where he stands on the "Issues" page on his website. But Monday he did outline some more specifics of what he believes on gun control. While saying he was "appalled" by the shootings, he underscored he believes a consensus can be found for reforms.
Here is some of what he has said so far:
strengthen and better enforce instant background checks
close gun show loophole
make "straw man" purchases — or someone buying a gun for someone who can't buy one — a federal crime
ban semiautomatic weapons "which are designed strictly for killing human beings"
improve mental health access and ways to treat mental illness
reduce violent images in the media
previously, his campaign manager has said he would still support 2005 legislation to protect gun companies from legislation
All of the Democrats, however, stand in contrast to GOP presidential contenders — most of whom have urged caution and restraint to act too quickly after such an incident. They are calling for renewed focus on mental illnesses instead of taking aim at restricting Second Amendment rights.
Corrected: October 4, 2015 at 11:00 PM CDT
An early version of this article used an incorrect last name for Nicole Hockley, parent of a Sandy Hook shooting victim. It has also been updated to reflect Sanders' position on semiautomatic weapons.

Q: Import fails silently In brief, an Import of a largish (11G) tsv file fails silently.  I'm looking for ways to troubleshoot the problem further, and/or work around the failure.

Details
The machine I'm using has more than enough memory to handle such a large file.  Below is a summary of the available memory before I start Mathematica:
$ free -h
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           31G       1.5G        29G       6.1M        47M       298M
-/+ buffers/cache:       1.2G        30G
Swap:          15G       2.9G        12G

I start a fresh Mathematica session, and type in the expression shown below:

(Note that at this point the word matrix is colored blue, indicating that the matrix is as-yet undefined.)
I then press Shift+Enter, upon which

*

*the cell's bracket changes from thin blue to thick black, and

*the prefix "Running... " appears before the window's title in the notebook's title bar,
...and remain this way for several minutes.
Eventually the cell's bracket's appearance reverts to its initial state, and the "Running... " prefix disappears from the window's title bar, but the notebook's appearance remains otherwise unchanged.
In particular,

*

*the color of the word matrix remains as it was before the evaluation;

*no messages of any kind are visible.
There are no messages in the Messages window (available through the menu command Windows > Messages), and no dialog window ever pops up.
IOW, the evaluation appears to have failed, but there's no explicit mention of this fact.
At this point, MaxMemoryUsed[] reports ~33MB (32612736 bytes, to be precise), a minuscule amount.  (The kernel probably crashed during evaluation, so this figure is not very informative.)  Indeed, the machine's memory usage now is not very different from what it was before:
$ free -h
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           31G       1.6G        29G       5.6M        24M       264M
-/+ buffers/cache:       1.3G        30G
Swap:          15G       2.9G        12G

FWIW, other programs I use regularly (e.g. MATLAB, ipython, python, perl, R, etc.) can handle this file without much problem.
Q: How can I troubleshoot the problem further?
Q: How can I get Mathematica to import this file?


THE Canberra Youth Orchestra, under the expert baton of Leonard Weiss, presented an evening of popular works by Dvo?ák, Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Sibelius. It was a varied program showcasing these four very different composers.
Three of Dvo?ák's Slavonic Dances were played first and the orchestra was in fine form from the very first note, giving dynamic performances of the first and seventh dances and, in between, playing the less dramatic sixth dance with great feeling.
Next on the program was a performance of the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, with soloist, Helena Popovic.
This popular work is also considered to be technically difficult to play but Popovic gave a beautiful performance bringing out the emotion of the work with great skill. There was also a fine balance between soloist and orchestra.
This was followed by Alexander Borodin's Polovtsian Dances from "Prince Igor", a sensuous, atmospheric work with melodies that are now well-known, having been used in the musical "Kismet" in 1953. The orchestra gave a strong performance bringing much light and shade to the work and playing the dramatic passages especially well.
After interval, the orchestra played Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. First performed in 1902, it was popularly dubbed the "Symphony of Independence", as it was written at a time of Russian sanctions on Finnish language and culture. The orchestra gave a particularly fine performance of this marvellous work especially in the lively third movement leading to the grand emotive final movement.
Weiss also announced an exciting program for the orchestra in 2017 with guest artists including Idea of North and James Morrison.


A very easy no fuss cranberry sauce. The tangerine juice/zest really makes a difference here. Can make many days ahead and keep in fridge.
Put lid on and set on high for 3 hours. Give a quick stir every 1/2 hour to hour. After three hours, turn off, remove lid, and add the zest. Stir well. It will still seem very loose/too much liquid (do not worry). Let sit with lid removed until room temperature. It will thicken and become jelly-like as it cools.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
*Tip: zest the tangerine before cutting open for juice.

British International Investment is set to invest in Africa's green infrastructure, digital transformation
Chief Executive Officer of British International Investment (BII), Nick O'Donohoe
The Chief Executive Officer of British International Investment (BII), Nick O'Donohoe, said the corporation will invest in Africa as part of its strategy to respond to the opportunities and challenges facing developing and emerging economies like Nigeria.
To ensure capital is used in the best way possible to meet these challenges and opportunities, three clear strategic objectives were set to focus on investing in productive, sustainable, and inclusive development.
Investing in green infrastructure: Over the next five years, climate finance will account for at least 30% of BII's total new commitments by value. BII will become one of the world's largest climate investors in Africa, with a particular emphasis on green, renewable infrastructure.
Investing in digital transformation: BII also intends to assist earlier-stage, disruptive businesses that provide radical solutions to global challenges. This is because technology-based businesses, including those capable of constructing major digital infrastructure, are in desperate need of capital.
Driving inclusion outcomes: As a pioneer in investing for women's economic empowerment, BII has set a new target of 25% of all investments.
This will be done by increasing the representation of black African-owned and led businesses in the sub-Saharan Africa portfolio.
Advancing UK's international financing: BII stated that it is playing a key role in the UK Government's international financing offer by capitalizing on its proximity to the City of London to establish the UK as a global development finance hub. This is accomplished through the mobilization of additional capital in addition to its own, as well as the formation of partnerships with British businesses operating in developing and emerging economies.
About British International Investment: British International Investment (formerly known as CDC- Commonwealth Development Corporation) is the United Kingdom's Development Finance Institution, founded in 1948. The Department for International Development (DFID) owns 100% of BII as a public limited company on behalf of the UK government. Its mandate is to promote business growth and job creation in Africa and South Asia. It is the world's oldest Department for International Development (DFID).

De bibberende Bosch is een stripverhaal uit de reeks van Suske en Wiske, geschreven door Peter Van Gucht en getekend door Luc Morjaeu. Het verhaal werd uitgebracht op 9 februari 2016 ter gelegenheid van het Jeroen Bosch-jaar waarbij de schilder Jheronimus Bosch herdacht werd die 500 jaar eerder overleed.

Personages
In dit verhaal spelen de volgende personages mee:
 Suske, Wiske en Schanulleke, Tante Sidonia, Lambik, Jerom, professor Barabas, Al-Kimiah, Jeroen Bosch

Locaties
Dit verhaal speelt zich af op de volgende locaties:
 's-Hertogenbosch rond 1485, Memoria

Verhaal

Wiske laat per ongeluk Schanulleke in het kanaal vallen en wordt daarna ernstig ziek van verdriet. Volgens professor Barabas is de enige oplossing om haar te genezen naar Memoria te reizen, een plaats waar alle herinneringen van de mensen bewaard worden. Daar zouden ze dan de herinnering van Wiske aan Schanulleke vernietigen zodat ook haar verdriet zou stoppen. Om deze reis tot een goed einde te brengen hebben ze de hulp van de alchemist Al-Kimiah nodig die ze proberen op te sporen via een van zijn bekendste klanten, Jheronimus Bosch. Daarvoor reizen ze terug de tijd in naar 's-Hertogenbosch rond 1485.

Trivia
 Het album werd oorspronkelijk De bangelijke Bosch genoemd maar gewijzigd omdat het Belgisch-Nederlands begrip bangelijk niet erg bekend is in Nederland.
 Behalve de gewone uitgave verscheen ook een speciale beperkte uitgave van 5000 stuks met acht extra pagina's gewijd aan Jheronimus Bosch, 's-Hertogenbosch en het Jheronimus Bosch 500-jaar. Deze uitgave kwam tot stand met steun van het Noordbrabants Museum.

[MARCH 20, 2003] This story will probably remind you of one of those popular "The Rest of the Story" stories that you hear on Paul Harvey.
Our story begins in 1956 with a lady named Bette Nesmith, who was a typist for a bank. She wasn't a very good typist, though, and found herself erasing her frequent mistakes with a pencil eraser. When her employer switched over to electric typewriters, she could no longer erase her mistakes on the new type of ribbon, so she set out to invent a product that would allow her to paint over her mistakes. Bette created the invention of Liquid Paper, which was originally known as Mistake Out, to help her in her job.
Bette experimented with many different combinations of ingredients until she found the right formula. Later, after she had already begun selling bottles of her Liquid Paper, she was fired from her job. The firing turned out to be a blessing, though, as it enabled her to devote all of her time to her Liquid Paper business. Sales began to skyrocket and, in an attempt to fill the demand while keeping her costs down, Bette had her son, Robert, help her fill the bottles of Liquid Paper.
By 1975, her company, the Liquid Paper Corporation, employed 200 people and produced 25 million bottles of Liquid Paper that were sold in 31 countries. She later sold her company to Gillette for $47 million plus royalties.
I don't mean to change the subject, but back in 1997, the 1960s pop band The Monkees staged their "30th Anniversary Reunion Tour." Only three of the original four band members participated. Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Torkinson, aka "Tork," were all there, but what happened to the fourth Monkee? Why would he skip their reunion tour?
Could it be because the missing Monkee was in a much better financial position than the other Monkees? If so, how did he become wealthier than the others?
Remember when I mentioned that Bette Nesmith's son, Robert, helped her fill the bottles with Liquid Paper in the 1950s?
Robert is his first name, but he goes by his middle name, Michael. You probably remember him as Michael Nesmith, guitarist for the band The Monkees … Bette's boy.
Congratulations … you've just solved the "case of the missing Monkee."

Last week's column in LDN: Which U.S. presidents were the most successful inventors?
[MARCH 19, 2003] Rumors that the Eagle store in Lincoln may be closing are completely untrue, according to a company vice president.
Pat Flatley, vice president of information technology, said in a telephone interview that the "tons of rumors" are false. "We're not closing; we're not closing the chain," he emphasized.
"I get calls and e-mails all day long from customers, who are happy to hear that we are not closing," Flatley continued. He said Eagle employees are among those who have spread the rumors, and the company has requested that they discontinue doing so.
Without supplying any statistics, Flatley said he believes Lincoln sales have been affected by the rumors. Customers who believe the grocery store is already closed go elsewhere to shop. However, he said he was in the Lincoln store on Saturday, and Lincoln manager Barb Pollock reported that sales are beginning to recover.
[MARCH 14, 2003] Over the course of the last 18 months many people have been quite concerned about the economy in Logan County. With the closing of the Lincoln Developmental Center and a couple of retail businesses going under, the rumors began to swirl. However, not all the news is bad news. In fact, a case may be made that Lincoln is not only bucking those negative local trends, but also bucking those depressing national trends as well. Unemployment rates that are climbing, taxes being raised and not much talk about any economic prosperity may have you wondering: How could Lincoln be curbing those indicators?
But a closer look at what is actually happening in Lincoln and the surrounding area seems to indicate that reports of our demise may have been greatly exaggerated. Take Precision Products for example. Bob Jones is reporting that PP has actually added 22 new jobs just during the month of February, not exactly your growth month. And Ed Block over at Saint-Gobain Containers is reporting the creation of 12 new positions at their plant. Main Street Lincoln Director Cindy McLaughlin has cited at least six individuals who have applied for grants to start new businesses in the Courthouse Square Historic District. Several other local businesses plan to expand or add jobs in the near future. Bill Campbell and Charlie Lee over at the IGA grocery store are planning a 5,000-square-foot addition as soon as possible.
The growth is not just limited to our city's borders, as business seems to be doing well in the county too. Mark Hughes over at Inland Tool in Mount Pulaski has just added a new shift. That has meant the establishment of 10 new jobs. In Atlanta, nine of the 10 houses built on the golf course have been sold, while two new ones are currently under construction. In addition, three new ones are scheduled to begin construction in the spring.
We're sure that the math majors and the bean counters will be quick to remind us all that these reports will not make up for the loss of the LDC. While that may be true, you have to start somewhere. We commend these businesses for their vision and foresight during perilous times. We're sure those decisions must have been easier when the stock market was flying along at record levels.
Keep in mind that the companies mentioned here are only the ones who have agreed to go public with their plans and additions. There are others with deals pending who don't want publicity until deals are done and contracts are signed. We suspect that there are several people wanting to relocate, remodel and or increase the size of their businesses, judging by the wealth of calls we're getting. We also believe that some people want to come to Logan County to set up shop. We are predicting that as the weather warms we will be bombarded with requests for even more economic development projects in our community and in our area.
And why wouldn't that be so? We have maintained for years that Logan County may be one of the best kept secrets in the state, if not the nation. For the second year in a row, Illinois was chosen as the No. 1 state for economic development in the country! Couple that with the tourist boom we're expected to see in the years ahead, and things might not be nearly as gloomy as the doom, gloom and naysayers would have you believe. At least these recent reports seem to indicate that Logan County may be bucking the trends!

Pickle barrel man
I thought I'd written today's entry, but San Francisco had other ideas, and there's more to be said.
There's been an avalanche of the Rolling Stones in my world lately — a concert, a video, a movie, even a few tapes on loan from Kallie, and I've enjoyed all of it so I guess I'm a fan. That said, I like the Beatles better, and the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd better yet, but I don't own any music made by any of them. Life does not feel incomplete because of this lack.
Music is fine. I like music. I'm just not "into" music.
Blame it on commercial radio. I grew up listening to the radio almost whenever I was awake, but as a grownup I can't stand the commercials and hate the disc jockeys' silly banter, so I never listen to hear if I'd hate the music, too. I clicked top-40 radio off about the time Air Supply ruled the charts, so perhaps rock'n'roll has recovered, or perhaps it's gotten even worse, if that's possible. I wouldn't know.
Sometimes when the commercial-free talk radio in my ear at work gets boring, I'll switch to KPOO, a local station that plays eclectic and commercial-free music. I like some of what KPOO plays, but not enough to buy it. And though that station is right here in the city, they transmit so weakly that reception fades in and out at work, and I can't get the station at all here at the rez hotel.
Now and again I hear rap on a boombox on the bus. It's pissed-off poetry with a backbeat, and I could learn to like it, but the rhymes are full of bitches and hoes and violence, so it's not for me.
When I go to the Haight, usually I'll stop at the International Cafe, and if there's a band playing I'll enjoy it. If there's not a band playing, though, I ain't disappointed.
A few weeks ago, the guy from the zine Envy the Dead sent a few tapes in trade for my zine. Plugged 'em in and gave the music a long listen, and maybe it's my age or my tin ear, but it wasn't particularly enjoyable. I gave one of the tapes to Kallie, the other to George, and if either of them have anything to say about the music they haven't said it to me.
Street music is what I hear and appreciate most often. There used to be a drum and fiddle duet that played various BART stations for spare change and always got some from me, but they never had tapes for sale, and now it occurs to me that I haven't seen those guys in months.
Sometimes there's a fat (fatter than me!) black guy at the cable car turnaround, who plays a keyboard and sings superbly. He doesn't sell tapes either, so I just bop my head, stand and listen, and put a dollar or two in his can.
All this pops into my head and out through my fingers because I thought I'd taunt the tourists and talk with the homeless in Union Square, but instead I was waylaid by a fabulous drum trio at the southwest corner of the Square.
There was one guy with a fancy professional set, five drums and three cymbals all arrayed in front of him like he's John Bonham; another guy with only a pair of bongos dangling from his neck, but he knew what to do with them; and a third guy sitting on a concrete ledge and banging some upside-down pickle buckets with a stick.
My guess, just from watching and listening, is that they were strangers having an impromptu jam, but dang, it sounded swell. Robin (11/21) would've orgasmed right there in the Square.
Oddly, there was an effort or talent inversion among the three. The guy with the elaborate setup provided a quiet tempo for the other two, when he played at all, but he spent a lot of time just listening to the other two. The guy with the bongos was very good, keeping a beat with one hand and improvising all over with the other. He would've been worth a paragraph in the zine all by himself, but …
The guy with the strictly homemade set was incredible. He was banging those buckets so beautifully my ears couldn't comprehend it all and instead the sound reached right into my heart. With one foot hooked to the handle of a pickle barrel, when he tapped his toes the whole barrel lifted up, altering the echo. When the other two drummers let him fly solo, he went into orbit, twirling his sticks like a majorette, raising and hammering them, and sometimes juggling them several feet above his head. With a stick in the air, he drummed with his fingers until the last possible instant, then snapped his wrist just as the stick came down, hit the drum with it, and tossed the other stick into the air. Only once in all this trick drumming did he drop a stick, and even that didn't interrupt the tune.
Yeah, the tune — he was playing a tune on four upside-down pickle buckets, often with no accompaniment. Is that legal under the laws of physics? Doesn't matter. He did it.
If you'd asked me before this evening, I would've said I don't particularly care for drum solos. They're monotonous and self-important, fun for the drummer but not for me, and more an interruption of the music than a part of it.
Before tonight, though, I'm not sure I'd heard many drummers who weren't professionals, and this guy was amateur. I gave him money, lots of people did, but by 'amateur' I mean, he did it for the love of it. He was having more fun than anyone has while they're working.
And the fun was infectious. The crowd grew from dozens to hundreds, and for several minutes at a time the other two drummers were only watching and listening. I watched and listened for a long time, too, until I noticed that it was dang cold out, and came back home to write about the drummers, but especially about the third drummer — pickle barrel man.
Trying to write what I just finished listening to, I feel like I'm the first drummer, the one with the fancy set. Having the drums doesn't mean having the chops, and me having this green-screen typing machine doesn't mean I can translate such sight and sound into a story. My apologies, but I am not up to reporting what I saw and heard. Damn, though, it was sweet music.
Adding to the challenge, all of today's entry was lost while I was editing it a few weeks later, when I hit the wrong button. Insert profanity here! Before reconstructing it, it was my best rant of the month, and I've tried to re-stitch it, but mostly failed.

Longwall mining at a North Goonyella mine.
'Cover-up' claims after mine crippled by fires
by Des Houghton
I FEAR for the safety of blokes in this state who work in underground mining.
It can be deadly.
The horrors became vivid for me in 1972 when I was sent to an underground coal mine at Box Flat near Ipswich to report on an underground explosion that entombed 17 men there. I was still a teenager.
Fire pours out of a shaft at the Box Flat Colliery during the 1972 disaster.
An 18th man later died as a result of shocking injuries he suffered in the blast.
Then in 1975, it happened again. Thirteen more brave miners perished at Kianga No. 1 mine in central Queensland in an underground explosion.
In 1994, a similar tragedy happened about 20km away at Moura No. 2, where 11 men died.
The scene of the Box Flat mine disaster. Picture: Jerry Jasiulek
It was about that time I became one of the last civilians to take the lift 1km underground at Mt Isa to inspect Ore Body 3000.
The journey seemed to take forever.
"We are getting close to Hell now," the lift operator said.
Later, visitors to Mt Isa were banned from going so far down for safety reasons.
The potential dangers of underground mining were highlighted again this week when it was confirmed that spontaneous combustion fires had shut Peabody Energy's North Goonyella mine in the Bowen Basin, 160km west of Mackay.
A fire in a longwall cave 500m underground may have been burning for a month now, says John Ninness, a mining safety consultant.
He has strong criticisms of Peabody in the article he penned for the authoritative Australasian Mine Safety Journal.
He says the industry has been told very little about the lead-up to the fires, and he wonders whether they could have been prevented.
But Ninness reserves his sharpest criticism for the Queensland Government, which he accuses of a "cover-up".
He says the spontaneous combustion of gases and coal dust in underground mining is a constant worry.
Are miners who bravely work below the earth's surface ever truly safe? "That's the million-dollar question," he says.
North Goonyella is important because it contains one of the largest reserves of high-strength coking coal on the planet.
Last year and the year before it delivered nearly three million tonnes of coal.
About 225 miners have been stood down on full pay while the mess is sorted out.
I'm told roughly the same number of private contractors have been let go, from a source familiar with the mine.
There are 13 underground coal mines in this state.
Peabody Energy's North Goonyella mine, located about 160km west of Mackay. Last year North Goonyella delivered nearly three million tonnes of coal.
Queensland is the heartland of the Australian coal mining industry that pumps billions into the economy from royalties and taxes.
Peabody is an American company headquartered in St Louis, Missouri.
That said, its North Goonyella mine provides $700 million in economic benefit to Australia each year, a spokeswoman says.
There are a dozen new mines - open cut and underground - in the planning stages in Queensland.
Coal remains essential for this nation's power generation, and we would have catastrophic blackouts and industry shutdowns if we tried to rely on solar and wind power alone.
Ninness worked in mine safety for the State Government in two stretches until 2005 and believes he has visited at least 50 mines.
He says there have been numerous "critical heating events" in underground mines in the past two decades.
Ninness stresses he is not accusing Peabody of any safety breaches.
"Whenever you cut coal, it gets hot," he says.
"They (Peabody) pulled the people out immediately when they saw on the indicators the mine was on fire."
However, he wonders whether State Government safety watchdogs have been proactive enough and why information about possible dangers has not been shared.
Queensland Minister for Natural Resources and Mines Anthony Lynham said the future operation of the mine was "a matter for Peabody". Picture: AAP/Dave Hunt
Minister for Mines Anthony Lynham hints that the mine may not reopen.
"Details as to the mine's future operation are a matter for Peabody," he says.
Lynham says the Queensland Mines Inspectorate would investigate "the nature and cause of the underground fire at North Goonyella mine".
"The Mines Inspectorate has been on site at North Goonyella since last month when the operator Peabody Energy advised the inspectorate of elevated gas levels," he says.
"My Chief Inspector of Mines and Peabody Energy have briefed me regularly about the changing situation at the mine, in particular measures to ensure the safety of personnel.
"I am advised that Peabody has a specialist crew on site bringing the underground fire under control.''
Peabody Energy's North Goonyella mine provides $700 million in economic benefit to Australia each year but it's future is unknown.
Peabody Australia says the safety of workers is paramount.
"Our gas monitoring and safety systems are designed specifically for these types of events, and detected the elevated levels of gas in a timely manner," a spokesman says.
A Peabody source says a team at the mine is pumping nitrogen into the trouble spots to starve any fire of oxygen.
Unionists remain divided.
One tells me to expect the usual "whitewash".
Luke Ludlow, the North Goonyella union lodge president, told members in a circular there had been "massive spikes" in levels of dangerous and volatile gases.
"To summarise, our mine is not in a good way and the reality of sealing a third longwall in our mine is right in front of us unless we have some miraculous change in circumstance in the coming days," he wrote.
Ninness remains concerned.
"There are unanswered questions," he says.
"The whole story doesn't add up.
"And for the Queensland Government to go silent just doesn't make sense."

Seems Glendale's biggest (literally) foodie -- the 400-pound bear dubbed "Meatball" -- is getting just as much attention these days for his preferred diet of fast food and other treats as he his for his herculean back-and-forth journeys from Angeles National Forest to Glendale.
He was lured into a trap by a state game warden Wednesday morning with the irresistible combination of a McDonald's Happy Meal, French fries, honey and bacon. And since being taken to a temporary refuge in San Diego County, has turned his nose up at just about everything -- including marshmallows! -- his new handlers have been trying to feed him.
Today, they caved and ordered him takeout meatballs from a local Italian joint.
So perhaps it was only a matter of time before the connoisseurs over at Los Angeles Magazine weighed in on this unlikely L.A.-area food story.
So, what would it take to lure a Los Angeles Magazine editor into a bear trap? Let's just say the list includes everything from Mozza butterscotch budino and beef bourguignon from Comme Ça, to more standard fare, like the garlic sauce from Zankou Chicken and "popcorn, mac n' cheese, ramen."
The complete list of responses is here.

La conflictologia és el compendi de coneixements i habilitats per comprendre i intervenir en la resolució pacífica i no-violenta dels conflictes.

És una disciplina que en conté moltes, des de les matemàtiques i la física teòrica a la biologia, tot i que són en especial les ciències socials les que més aportacions fan a la comprensió dels conflictes. Una de les dimensions que estudia la conflictologia és la dels conflictes lingüístics.

La facilitació és l'acció d'intervenir en la solució de conflictes, així com els conceptes de mediació, conciliació o pacificació.

Conflictòleg és la denominació del qui coneix i es dedica professionalment a la conflictologia. Es poden usar com a sinònims les paraules facilitador o pacificador. Requereix una formació pluridisciplinària.

Convé definir el concepte de violència emprat aquí com a "tot allò que pot produir un mal o perjudicar a un mateix, a un altre o a l'entorn social o natural". D'aquesta manera, violència també pot ser, a més del mal físic, l'engany, la injustícia social i la violència psicològica o estructural.

Sinònims de conflictologia són resolució de conflictes i transformació de conflictes.

Chances are if you have a picture of a stereotypical poet in your mind's eye, Robert Fanning does not fit the bill.
Fanning is young and intense, but accessible. The energy that drives his passion for poetry is palpable from the moment you meet him, and it's hard to imagine him doing the sort of quiet contemplative work that we so often think of when it comes to poetry. Perhaps that's the point.
Today, the craft is resulting in poems that take so many forms Fanning compares them to a garden. "You have all these different flowers and plants, there's something for everyone," he says. "Someone might like the really spiky, bizarre, plant-like thing over here. But someone else might only want the biggest and most beautiful roses." The point, Fanning says, is that poetry is about connecting in a world where we aren't.
A former member of a college rock band, Fanning was exposed to poetry from a young age. "My Dad introduced me to poetry. He loved it, and I could see it fed his soul," says Fanning, "but my Mom was the writer of the family." In high school, Fanning's teacher, Don Lytle, fanned the flames of his interest even more, but it wasn't until late college that he realized poetry could be a viable career path. Until then, the band, he says, was more important.
Eventually, Fanning earned a degree in English from the University of Michigan and later a MFA in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College in New York. A lifelong Michigander from the Detroit area, he then returned to the mitten state where he took odd writing jobs and taught at the InsideOut Literary Arts Project. He has been a professor at Central Michigan University for eleven years now and says Mt. Pleasant is the ideal location for his work.

Stars: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathan Ke Quan, Amrish Puri, Roshan Seth, Philip Stone, Roy Chiao, David Yip, Ric Young, Philip Tan, Dan Aykroyd, Dharmadasa Kuruppu, Stany De Silva, Raj Singh, Frank Olegario, Ahmed El Shenawi, Nizwar Karanj, Pat Roach
Genre: Horror, Action, Adventure
Review: Shanghai, 1935 and archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is in a nightclub trying to negotiate a deal to possess a rare diamond that Lao Che (Roy Chiao) has promised him. After the resident chanteuse Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) has finished a rendition of Anything Goes, the time for the exchange of goods has arrived, but when Lao Che has one of his henchmen pull a gun on Dr. Jones he responds by grabbing the singer and holding a sharp item of cutlery to her side. Fair enough, the bag is handed to him, but it contains gold coins, not the gemstone, and Jones demands the real artefact, which he receives. Taking a swig from his glass, he is about to congratulate himself when Lao Che and his men start laughing: the drink was poisoned, and the diamond will provide the antidote...
All of which has very little to do with the main plot of the sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but in effect you got two sequels in one, a superior opening twenty minutes of mini-follow-up and a more substantial hour and forty of the actual business of the titular Temple of Doom. You assuredly got plenty of action for your money, but all this sound and fury, while more or less as big a success as the previous work was, proved to be one of the most divisive in director Steven Spielberg's canon with plentiful protests about the material - did we want to hear Indy swear? Nobody had been particularly bothered that the Nazis had been the bad guys last time, you pretty much expected that of them, but when the villainy was carried out by Indians here the accusation was that the whole thing was racist.
As if that wasn't bad enough, while Raiders was given a flavour of fear for its violence, both supernatural and otherwise, producer George Lucas decided to up the ante for the second instalment (technically a prequel) much like The Empire Strikes Back had for the more serious turn the Star Wars franchise took, this emerged looking more like a horror movie than anything Spielberg had approached since Jaws. To make matters worse, there was a determination to create a real funhouse experience that was as unrelenting as it was propulsive, vomiting up thrills at breakneck speed with barely a time to catch the breath which rendered its scenes of shock and revulsion all the more vivid. The result? Lots of complaining parents saying Spielberg had gone too far.
For the kids, on the other hand, most of them lapped up the extreme nature of the movie in the way that picking your nose and examining the contents or pulling the wings off flies can be highly diverting for those of a certain age, which made it all the more unfair in British kids' eyes that the censors cut the gorier bits before it was released (they are now reinstated). Famously, this film and the Spielberg production Gremlins prompted the introduction of the PG-13 rating in its American homeland, which led to the situation we have today where kid-friendly franchises are geared towards those older audiences ratings, bringing near the knuckle material to family films. This can be a good thing, plenty loved the Christopher Nolan Batman films, or quite often bad, as the Transformers series exists in an uncomfortable no man's land pandering to grown-ups with juvenile business.
In this case, the tale of Indy and his encounter with possibly racist characters (if they were, it didn't look intentionally offensive, more for the sake of a grimmer tone) wasn't made any more palatable by his love interest, Willie. At least the director was happy with Capshaw - he married her - but for most other people her two modes of either screaming or complaining was more of an endurance test than a source of lighthearted laughs. You could reason she was there to make the child sidekick Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan) look better, as he's certainly a lot more useful if nowhere near as cute as the film thinks he is, but whereas Raiders offered up thrills with a morality that was genuinely stimulating, here it's solely about the thrills and everyone is strictly two-dimensional, if that. Amrish Puri was formidable leading the Thugee cult Indy must save a village from, and fans of Mr India still get a kick out of seeing him in this, but that rich texture to Spielberg's best blockbusters was lacking, no matter how far he piled on the setpieces, traps, sacrifices, mine chases and all. Music by John Williams, also a letdown.

Steven Spielberg (1946 - )
Currently the most famous film director in the world, Spielberg got his start in TV, and directing Duel got him noticed. After The Sugarland Express, he memorably adapted Peter Benchley's novel Jaws and the blockbusters kept coming: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Indiana Jones sequels, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, 2005's mega-budget remake of War of the Worlds, his Tintin adaptation, World War One drama War Horse and pop culture blizzard Ready Player One.
His best films combine thrills with a childlike sense of wonder, but when he turns this to serious films like The Color Purple, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Munich and Bridge of Spies these efforts are, perhaps, less effective than the out-and-out popcorn movies which suit him best. Of his other films, 1941 was his biggest flop, The Terminal fell between two stools of drama and comedy and one-time Kubrick project A.I. divided audiences; Hook saw him at his most juvenile - the downside of the approach that has served him so well. Also a powerful producer.

First Aberdeen this week launched a new Platinum on route 13 as part of a £1million investment in new vehicles.
Service 13's upgrade to 'Platinum'status will see it feature the newest vehicles in First Aberdeen's fleet, all with the same high specification those using Platinum elsewhere have come to expect.
However as well as free wifi and a no-quibble guarantee, these vehicles will also be the first to feature USB charging points for customers to charge phones and tablets as they journey to and from the city centre.
With a slick metallic new'Platinum' livery, Service 13 will no longer be known as the 'Salmon line' for the pink branded buses previously used.
Operating from from Scatterburn to Seaton via Mastrick, Holburn Junction and City Centre at a 20 minute frequency.
At the outset it was agreed that the aim of Platinum should be to deliver a bus service that was so customer focused that passengers felt as if they were receiving VIP treatment, which spectators travelling on match days can also now enjoy.
Platinum also currently operates on First Aberdeen's routes 12 and 19. Since launching in 2013, both services have achieved impressive levels of patronage growth while customer feedback has become incredibly positive.
Platinum Service 12 has become one of the first services in the north east to feature 'next stop screens' and 'next stop announcements' providing an extra benefit to customers, especially new or infrequent bus users or passengers with sight or hearing issues. This will be replicated on Service 13.
Managing Director of First Aberdeen, David Phillips said: "We believe Platinum is the bus service for the next generation. This is the third Platinum route to be rolled out in the city, and we expect it to attract even more people out of the car and onto the bus.
"We've seen strong growth on our other two Platinum services since we launched the concept in 2013 and that's in no small part down to the fact that they are the most customer-focused bus services in the country.
"We've listened to what our customers want from their bus journey. Over half our fleet now has free wifi on board and these buses also feature USB charging points for the first time. 'Next stop' announcements and screens also provide assistance to passengers with sight and hearing issues and these feature on Service 12 and 13 now as standard.
First Aberdeen employs more than 500 staff and operates over 175 buses from the King Street depot.

Camila Cabello Crushes Justin Bieber, Whitney Houston, Adele Songs on Jimmy Fallon (Video)
Television By TooFab Staff | June 23, 2017 6:36 AM
Camila Cabello proved she's a woman of many talents on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday, as she performed summer-themed spoofs of a number of hit songs.
Using the hashtag #SummerSongs, the host asked fans to submit lyrics to their favorite singles with a summer twist. Fallon then selected his favorites for Cabello to sing on the show.
With The Roots backing her up, the former Fifth Harmony singer tackled alternate versions of Adele's "Hello," Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and Justin Bieber's "Sorry."
Why Fifth Harmony Didn't Change Name After Camila Cabello's Exit (Video)
Some of the tweaked lyrics included:
"Don't go chasing ice cream trucks, just stick to the popsicles and shakes that you're used to"
"Hello from the water slide"
"All I do is swim, swim, swim"
"Oh, I wanna grill with somebody"
She also took on two of her own songs, as parodies of "Crying In the Club" and her collaboration with Shawn Mendes, "I Know What You Did Last Summer," were also submitted.
The Massive Chainsmokers Hit Cabello Had to Turn Down Because of Fifth Harmony
"I want this album," Fallon after her performance.
"It's the summer tweets mixtape, you and I should drop it," Cabello exclaimed. "Let's make this record, Jimmy!"
Cabello performed the real version of "Crying In the Club" elsewhere in the show.

This is a new look at one of the most fascinating cradles of nomadism. The deserts of Arabia stretch from Jordan to Yemen: Wadi Rum, the Nefud, Ad-Dahna and Rub al Khali - known as the Empty Quarter - which borders Yemen and extends to the Sultanate of Oman. Many of these areas remain an enigma, with mankind having encroached only on the edges of their extreme environments. But even these peripheral zones contain some spectacular sights: dunes and plains, rocky peaks chiselled by erosion, and rare and unusual flora and fauna. At the heart of this immense region, we follow the incense route and discover the Bedouins, a nomadic people with ancient traditions. Étienne Dehau's wonderful photographs illustrate the culture of these Arabs - a word that originally meant 'people of the desert' - as they move from camp to camp within a land that is both hostile and overwhelming.

I remember the night I walked into my parents' bedroom at 10 o'clock and announced with fear and force, "I have cancer." They looked at me as any parent would with a 13-year-old daughter who was perfectly healthy and extremely active. But I had found a lump, and, for whatever reason, I knew what it was.
My late night announcement was followed by a visit to my doctor in an effort to appease me. Mission accomplished; I was diagnosed with a cyst. I remember expressing to my doctor, with a sigh, how relieved I was because I thought it was cancer. I was reassured that all the signs pointed to a cyst. The location, my age, the size, and no other symptoms. Several months later, when it hadn't shrunk, I went in for surgery to remove the cyst. The following Monday my entire family was hit with the news that everybody (except me) had been wrong. It was cancer.
I was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, which had grown quite large in the time that had lapsed due to the misdiagnosis. It was contained within my pelvic cavity, and at stage 3 it was large, but somehow, luckily, it hadn't spread.
Thirteen is a tough age to have cancer. For one, there's the social component. I tried going to school after my first round of chemotherapy, but two hours into my first day back I realized that it wasn't going to work. I couldn't have asked for anything more from my friends and family. My friends scheduled all birthday parties and weekend get-togethers around my "good week" – the one week out of every three (or four) when my immune system and energy level was high enough to socialize. My family was willing to drive my anywhere, anytime. This included several weekend trips home to Lincoln, Nebraska from my two-month stay in Rochester, Minnesota, in winter blizzards and fog so that I wouldn't miss any critical, life-altering, earth-shattering eighth-grade social events.
In retrospect I sometimes wonder if these drives were a greater risk to my health than the cancer itself. But on a serious note, these efforts meant a lot to me. Spending time with my friends helped me remember that there was more to my life than nausea and mouth sores and low platelets. Life didn't have to be put on pause. I could still laugh until I cried with my best friend, stress over what to wear, experience my first crush.
And then there's the hair. I remember the morning I woke up in the hospital a few weeks after my first round of chemotherapy, and thinking nothing of it, ran my hands through my hair. When I pulled my hand away I saw that a large clump of hair had come with it. That was one of the first days I cried about any of this. I thought I wouldn't care when my hair fell out, but seeing it there in my hand changed everything. I think that was when reality hit. This wasn't a dream. This wasn't a joke. This thing inside of me was going to change my life.
Thirteen is also a tough age because every child is at a different maturity level. I was definitely mature for my age. I completely understood what death was, that I had a legitimate chance of dying, and that critical decisions had to be made to provide the best possible chance to survive. I have amazing parents who fought tirelessly for me, always keeping me involved in the decision making process. The doctors, however, were another story. They were incredible doctors: considerate, compassionate, and dangerously intelligent. But I spent a lot of time convincing them that I was entitled to know what was being done with my body and my life. I know I made them see that my opinion mattered, and I hope that I taught them something about the likes of 13-year-old girls.
Overall I went through 12 rounds of chemotherapy, 28 doses of radiation, and five surgeries. I was treated at Children's Hospital in Omaha, Neb., and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. After a year of treatment I was cancer free and have stayed cancer free to date, over twenty years.
Having cancer absolutely changed my life. I don't think it changed who I am, but I do think it changed my view. I will forever be plagued by the side effects of the drugs that saved me, and I still get nervous when I find any lump or bump, but most of all I love and cherish the qualities I've acquired through the experience. It's been said so many times in so many ways, but it's best put in one word: Perspective.
I've since graduated from high school, college, and most recently law school. I've stood as a bridesmaid at some of my closest friends' weddings, swum with dolphins, traveled to Europe and India, and cried over the loss of a loved one. I've experienced the thrill of getting my driver's license, falling in love, buying my first home, and walking down the aisle to say, "I do." I think all of these events would have happened regardless of whether the cancer had, but they were that much better after the fight.


Together with StandardOutput and StandardError set to syslog it makes that whatever SystemLog directive is used, it is always logs everything to syslog, always effectively ignoring SystemLog directive.
b) how to let this know to someone responsible for mantaning proftpd support in systemd?
Traditionally simply make a bug.

Q: How to run Jest test for react-native and web I want to run my test for Button.js, Button.ios.js, Button.androind.js and take separate snapshots for different platforms. How can i do this ?
import "react-native";
import React from "react";
import renderer from "react-test-renderer";
import Button from "..../Button";

test('Example of test', () => {
    const c = renderer.create(
        <Button text="asd" />
    );
    expect(c.toJSON()).toMatchSnapshot();
});

This example creates snapshot only for native Button and ignores regular HTML component.
Versions:
 "react-native": "^0.39.2",
 "jest": "^18.0.0",

A: Assuming you using react-native-web to get your HTML output, you should know that Jest won't actually run your react-native code through webpack and thus it won't handle the react-native -> react-native-web alias, so you'll never see the actual HTML in your snapshot.
That said, you can still make sure your code is working as expected on the platform of your choice.  In our case, we sometimes have different code branches for android and/or web.  We built this simply helper to allow us to easily mock the different platform:
const withPlatform = (platform: string, testFunction: () => void) => {
  const origOS = Platform.OS;
  Platform.OS = platform;
  try {
    testFunction();
  } finally { // eslint-disable-line  brace-style
    Platform.OS = origOS;
  }
};

Once you have imported into your test, you can then do cool things like:
  describe('on the web', () => {
    it('should render correctly', () => {
      withPlatform('web', () => {
        expect(renderer(<SomeComponent />)).toMatchSnapshot();
      });
    });
  });


The Danger Assessment for Law Enforcement (DA-LE) is an evidence-based risk assessment screening instrument, administered on scene by law enforcement officers, that identifies victims who are at the highest risk of severe/near-lethal assault. It acts as a supplement to the police report.
An officer responding to a domestic violence call uses the DA-LE to collect a history of violence. The DA-LE consists of 11 questions. A score that exceeds a pre-determined threshold indicates a victim at elevated risk of homicide and severe/near-lethal assault.
The DA-LE is designed to be used in court to inform criminal justice proceedings including bail. The DA-LE can be used as a stand-alone tool or as part of a broader multidisciplinary team such as a Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) that works together to prevent homicide.
The DA-LE is based on the Danger Assessment, an instrument developed by Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN to help abused women accurately assess the level of danger they are in from their partner or ex-partner. For more information, go to www.dangerassessment.org.
"Police officers have a unique opportunity to administer risk assessment at the scene of intimate partner violence (IPV) incidents."
The DA-LE is a collaboration between the foremost researchers in the field of intimate partner homicide and Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center.
To develop the DA-LE instrument, Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center partnered with two leading researchers, Dr. Jacquelyn C. Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN of Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and Dr. Jill Theresa Messing, MSW, PhD of Arizona State University School of Social Work.

What were the biggest problems encountered?: connecting sensor to demo software on android phone.
I am sorry first of all, for writing late. In this review i am gonna focus more on technical perspective.
Product i received was not with battery. i needed to buy it separately.
headers were not available to read current consumption.
Product is easy to use. Simple ON- OFF button is easy to operate.
Temperature Sensor is bit accurate, with +- 1°C. If you want more accuracy in your application, i won't recommend it.
Humidity sensor is also not that much accurate. variable is more than +-3%.
Haven't check for pressure sensor, but i guess it also won't be much reliable for precise measurements.
But if you ok with this much deviation, or your system not need accurate readings, i guess it's the best thing you can go with.
I am android user, and tested demo software on Nokia 6.1 plus model.
App is good but have areas for improvement.
It would be good if user is able see battery percentage in app.
but once found, it's not difficult to take readings.
Graphical representation is good. very easy to understand and grasp.
as other reviewer have added screenshots, i won't be uploading again.
can find detail review about Demo software by thamizharasan on link BLE Sensor Tag Demo Module for Android/iOS - Review .
They promised 1 year long battery life (coin cell ) for BLE. i guess that must be theoretical value.
in real life, i guess 2-3 month is avg battery life for this product, which is actually bit disappointing, but hey, that's coin cell for 2 month. so not too bad.
One should have at least protocol level knowledge of BLE to write code for BLE sensors. for total newbie in BLE, i recommend to learn protocol first.
I had windows 10 IoT Core installed on raspberry pi 3 model, and tested sensor on same.
Microsoft has provided sample code and is available on this link.
You need to make few changes but, to read from customized service and characteristic. this is not much hard as service and characteristic details for BLE and formula's to calculate temperature, humidity, pressure and battery are easily available in datasheet.
I have read temperature and humidity from HDC1010 sensor and from TESS WIRELESS SENSOR TAG at same time, and compared both.
Having BLE protocol level knowledge will ease to understand video briefly.
and apologies in advance for video quality, I am not good with camera.
i was not able to add video on this page due to some error, hence YouTube link.

Former premier Ujjal Dosanjh receives award
JUSTIN MCELROY, WEB PRODUCER GLOBAL NEWS – JANUARY 18, 2015 – LINK TO ARTICLE
Ujjal Dosanjh receiving an award from the Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Society on January 18, 2014
Ujjal Dosanjh, who was B.C.'s premier from 2000 to 2001, received an award today for his history speaking out against violence.
Dosanjh was given the Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Award, named for two diplomats who helped save Jewish people during World War Two.
"A lot of people have stood with me in difficult times…I stand accused of doing things that others have conspired with me to do, and I want to recognize them and their friends and supporters," said Dosanjh in receiving the award.
The former premier became known in the 1980s for speaking out against Sikh extremism, receiving much physical and verbal abuse in the process.
"If you don't exercise your rights, you lose them. When I spoke up, it may have done good for the people; it was essentially to secure, for myself, my children and their children the right to freedom without fear speak up, and continue to fight to make Canada and make this world a better place than we found it," he said.
"I accept this honour in the struggle to make our lives, our world a better place."
WATCH: Dosanjh spoke with Global News last year to discuss the new biography written about him by his longtime friend.
