Lake Okeechobee water releases raising concern
By Arek Sarkissian of the Naples Daily News
Posted: Feb. 11, 2016 2
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott said Thursday he wants the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to divert waters from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades, sparing some of the fresh water discharges into Southwest Florida that have caused concerns among local officials.
"We actually need to do this before the rainy season starts," Scott said in an interview with the Naples Daily News. "We're trying to make sure this happens."
In response to Scott, the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection filed orders Thursday that paved the way for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to take action. And Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, said he believes things could start moving very quickly, and some of the water could begin flowing to the Everglades National Park as soon as Friday.
"I know that people are working around the clock as we speak to make the governor's plan happen," said Negron. "A lot of what they're going through is details like property easements, but I think we could see something in the next 24 hours."
In a letter sent Thursday to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Scott wrote that the water could be diverted by increasing the capacity of a canal known as the freshwater Shark Slough, which leads to the national park. The move should save the brackish Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Estuaries from being forced to be flooded by the lake water.
Scott held two teleconferences Thursday with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and both of them were productive, said Negron, who was briefed by DEP Secretary Jon Steverson.
"All they have is a handful of obstacles in front of them and then water should start flowing south," Negron said.
Historic rainfalls over South Florida in January pushed the banks of Lake Okeechobee beyond the safe limits managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, prompting the water release last week. The release is pumping ugly, brown water into Lee County's coast, which local officials and fishermen argue is killing fish and ruining the ecosystem.
On Feb. 4, the Corps announced it would "release as much water as practical" from Lake Okeechobee. The released water flows in two directions, west through the Caloosahatchee River and east through the St. Lucie Canal. As a result, the lake water is mixing with other runoff that reaches the river.
Billions of gallons of brown, freshwater have flowed daily into the Caloosahatchee Estuary since the releases began. That water then spills from the river and makes its way to the Gulf of Mexico.
Lee County's six mayors met Wednesday to figure out how their cities can cope with the discharges. The mayors recommended using county and state lands to store water so it doesn't have to be pumped through the estuaries.
Scott said he recognized the Legislature is discussing plans to continue elevating the Tamiami Trail so Everglades waters can flow south to Florida Bay, but something needs to be done before the summer.
"We've got to get those waters to move south," Scott said. "We've got to get the water moving south as fast as possible."
In another environmental issue, Scott said he was not yet ready to weigh in on a plan by the Legislature to provide statewide regulation of fracking. The two bills, by Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, and Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, would also toss out a growing pile of bans passed by more than 60 cities and counties around the state. Scott would only say the state's environment should come first.
"I haven't seen the bills yet but what we need to remember is that people moved down here because it's so beautiful," Scott said. "We're going to do what ever we can to protect our environment and keep it as pristine as we can."

(1887–1927). Spanish artist Juan Gris painted lucidly composed still lifes that became important works of the style called synthetic cubism. His major contributions to the movement were his use of brighter color and sharply defined forms.
He was born José Victoriano González, on March 23, 1887, in Madrid. He studied engineering at the Madrid School of Arts and Manufactures from 1902 to 1904 but soon began making drawings for newspapers in the art nouveau style. In 1906 he moved to Paris and settled in Montmartre in the Bateau-Lavoir, an artists' dwelling where his countryman Pablo Picasso lived. Gris's friendship with fellow artists Picasso and Georges Braque allowed him to witness the evolution of cubism, an art movement in which the three-dimensional subject is fragmented. He did his first significant paintings in 1910 and adopted the cubist style the following year. In 1912 Gris began exhibiting with the cubists. Art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler agreed to purchase his entire artistic output.
In 1913–14 Gris arrived at a personal and mature version of synthetic cubism characterized by rigorously geometrical compositions in which fragmented objects and sharp-edged planes are articulated with maximum clarity. A more theoretical painter than Picasso or Braque, Gris systematized their discoveries, making their intuitions comprehensible. As a result, he helped spread the cubist style. He developed a personal version of cubism that was more severe and classical, less spontaneous and instinctive, than theirs.
During World War I Gris took a leading role in cubism and again changed his style. He used less fragmentation in his paintings and broadened the planes into strong vertical forms. After 1921 his style became increasingly free and lyrical. He also designed costumes and sets for ballets and illustrated books, mainly for his friends, including Gertrude Stein. Gris died on May 11, 1927, in Boulogne-sur-Seine, France.

DVD Spotlight of the Week: 1982 Madison Scouts
by Michael Boo
1982 Madison Scouts
The 1982 Drum Corps International World Championship Finals were a chilly affair, with the temperature dipping to 41-degrees Fahrenheit at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Things stayed hot on the field, however, as this was the first year all finalist corps eclipsed 80 points in their final scores, including the first-year finalist Sky Ryders from Hutchinson, Kansas. Blue Devils were the hottest unit of all, becoming the first corps in DCI history to complete an undefeated season. Madison Scouts' 5th-place production began with "Slaughter on 10th Avenue," music written by famed composer Richard Rodgers for the 1936 Broadway musical comedy "On Your Toes." The piece was a ballet staged within the musical and was choreographed by George Balanchine, who choreographed 39 ballets for Igor Stravinsky. Balanchine defected to America from the Soviet Union just two years earlier and is perhaps best remembered for his rendition of "The Nutcracker" that is performed at New York's Lincoln Center every Christmas season. Rodgers is best known for his collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II, producing musicals such as "South Pacific," "The King and I," "The Sound of Music," and "Carousel." "On Your Toes" was a collaborative venture with his earlier lyricist, Lorenz Hart, who was beginning to experience failing health. To better appreciate the impact Rodgers had on American music, consider that he is one of only two people who won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize. The Scouts had played "Slaughter on 10th Avenue" in 1974 and 1975, and they brought it back in 1989 and 2010. Starting spread across the field, the opening brass exclamations were a powerful way to kick off the show, as it had been during the corps' Championship-winning production in 1975. Mallet percussionists brought their marching keyboards to the front sideline and set them down shortly after the show began; followed by a dance routine by the color guard rifle section. Dance elements were still pretty much in their infancy on the drum corps field during this era, and this was one of the more prominent features for its day.
The corps' concert standstill production of "Strawberry Soup" came from the Don Ellis album, "Tears of Joy," performed live in 1971 at a San Francisco club with a string quartet added to the normal big band instrumentation. Many jazz musicologists consider this Ellis' most complete exploration of the rhythms and unusual meters for which he was so fond. He broke down the beat into several different rhythmic divisions within the 9/4 metrical framework so that it wasn't just the 3+2+2+2, 3+2+2+2 pattern most commonly associated with the tune. Many of the patterns even spill over the bar line into the following measure.
1982 was the first of three years that Madison played the work which also include 1983 and 1993. Starting backfield with the string quartet intro, the piece again prominently featured the corps' rifle line, popularly known at the time as "Madison's Magnificent Men" for their excellence and conspicuous exposure to difficulty. The beginning of the percussion feature "Downwind" featured all of the guard members tossing their flags to horn players in order to pick up rifles. The piece came from the 1979 album of the same name by Pierre Moerlen's Gong, a jazz-rock-fusion album that predominantly featured mallet percussion instruments, making it instantly transferable to the field during a time when front ensemble percussion instruments were just coming into their own. The rest of the brass players, minus tubas, took out shorter-handled swing flags from sheaths hanging at their sides and filled the field with a flurry of spinning silks as the low brass laid down the bass line. The late Marvin Hamlisch, composed the closer of "Through the Eyes of Love." The song became a huge commercial hit by Melissa Manchester and was the theme song for "Ice Castles," a 1978 romantic comedy about a figure skater who went blind after a freak accident, rediscovered love and learned to competitively skate again. Madison's sentimental rendition began with a baritone horn solo and worked its way toward a giant pivoting form that collapsed into a company front, bringing the audience members to their feet a minute before the end of the show. Coincidentally, Hamlisch is the only other person besides Richard Rodgers to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize, presenting an interesting set of bookends the Madison Scouts' 1982 production.

from teachings of the Native Americans.
the simple truth is that we are all 'hu-man' god-animal, spiritual beings. Here on Earth to learn from the experience of material reality, or, in other words, to undergo our Earth Medicine.
The Medicine Wheel is an interpretation of the influences on us, through our environment here on Earth, and the forces of the Sun and Moon spiraling into our lives. We are born with some attributes, but we are not fixed, can get 'centered' and may travel the web, experiencing what we want or need to. We are never so happy as when trying to satisfy our Higher-Self.

We present calculations and images of the appearance of a point-like star while heading toward and disappearing behind the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. A complete review of equations of motion and their solutions is given in Sect. 2, and Sect. 3 describes the properties of the star as the light source. The results of numerical simulations are shown in 26 figures and some phenomena responsible for their appearance are discussed in Sect. 4. It is possible that such phenomena are relevant for the description of certain activities related to galactic black holes and also for the description of γ-ray burstars.

Want to do a job in the arts - with lots of the great outdoors? Try archaeology! There don't tend to be many archaeology undergraduates out there (just under 700 graduated in 2015) - but it's quite a popular subject at postgraduate level. In fact, over a quarter of archaeology graduates take some kind of further study when they graduate - usually more study of archaeology. When you look at the stats, be aware that junior jobs in archaeology are not always well paid at the start of your career, and that temporary contracts are not uncommon. Thankfully, though, unpaid work, whilst not completely gone, is less common than it used to be. The archaeology graduates of 2015 found jobs in archaeology, of course, but also management and heritage and environment work, as well as more conventional graduate jobs in marketing and the finance industry.
History is a very popular subject (although numbers have fallen of late) — in 2015, over 10,000 UK students graduated in a history-related course. Obviously, there aren't 11,000 jobs as historians available every year, but history is a good, flexible degree that allows graduates to go into a wide range of different jobs, and consequently history graduates have an unemployment rate comparable to the national graduate average. Many — probably most — jobs for graduates don't ask for a particular degree to go into them and history graduates are well set to take advantage. That's why so many go into jobs in the finance industry, human resources, marketing, PR and events management, as well as the more obvious roles in education, welfare and the arts. Around one in five history graduates went into further study last year. History and teaching were the most popular further study subjects for history graduates, but law, journalism, and politics were also popular postgraduate courses.

I so agree! Dressage is incredibly hard work and I am often gasping for breath. Of course, some horses are harder work than others. I tend to choose horses that are sensible and not spooky, and that personality also tends to be laid back and behind the leg. Ugg. So the first 10-15 minutes of my ride is waking up my horse and getting him in front of the leg. Then the rest of my leg is just trying to keep up with it all and keeping him activated.
As for fitness routines, I don't do near as much as you do. I just walk in addition to riding. Planks to strengthen the core. Tons of stretching to try to protect my back and improve my posture and seat. It does help. And I ride 5-6 days a week for an intense 45 minutes or more.
I suspect that your horse is talking you into doing too much of the work, because once you have him activated and in front of the leg, it should (ha ha, yeah, should) feel like he is carrying you around the ring and you are directing and refining what he is doing. A little activation here and there, but not that sense of pushing him around. When you have that, you have a recipe for exhaustion for you. Whenever I start feeling really tired, I wake up and think, "uh oh, nope. I'm working too hard. Time to change this equation." And I get after my horse to get him working (and I try to stop nagging).
It's a work in progress and I'm still not very good at it…hence the sweat and breathlessness that accompanies most rides. At least it means I get to eat cookies afterwards!
I do use the plank for core strengthening. Great exercise!
I don't know how trainers can ride 5 or more horses in a day. Incredible.


Nutrition Short Course will focus on providing Missouri veterinarians answers to common nutrition questions posed by beef producers. Veterinarians are the professional animal scientist beef producers interact with most often, and producers pose them a wide-range of production questions. The presentation will focus on forage management, winter feeding, choosing supplements, and designing diets for various classes of beef cattle. Topics chosen are based on questions received frequently by Dr. Eric Bailey, Extension Beef Nutritionist at Mizzou. The goal of this short course is to inform Missouri veterinarians of MU Extension resources in beef cattle nutrition that can address current issues and provide producers with cutting-edge information to use in their beef cattle operations.
Dr. Bailey is the State Extension Beef Nutrition Specialist at the University of Missouri. He joined the University of Missouri in June 2017 after a stint as the Endowed Chair of Cow Calf Nutrition and Management at West Texas A&M University. He was born and raised on a commercial cow-calf and stocker operation outside of Santa Rosa, Mexico. He has degrees from West Texas A&M University and Kansas State University.
Research interests include ranch-of-origin preconditioning programs and nutrient supplementation for cattle grazing low-quality forages. Extension programming interests include strategies to reduce reliance on purchased and raised feedstuffs, as feed costs often are the largest component of an annual operating budget for cow-calf production.

The beautiful view from the wedding location.

Home Union Territory Jammu Over 3 lakh trained rural youth in J&K UT certified under PMGDISHA
Over 3 lakh trained rural youth in J&K UT certified under PMGDISHA
VIKAS SHARMA
JAMMU : Of total 701385 candidates enrolled under the flagship scheme "Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA)", as many as 547550 candidates have been trained whereas 395751 are certified.
Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of beneficiaries with over 10.3 million candidates certified in the last five years. It was followed by Bihar and Madhya Pradesh with 4.2 million and 3.3 million certified candidates, respectively.
Pertinently, in the year 2017, Centre Government had approved a Scheme titled PMGDISHA to usher in digital literacy in rural India with a target to cover 6 crore rural households (one person per household) across the country. So far, a total of more than 6.62 crore candidates have been enrolled and 5.68 crore have been trained, out of which 4.22 crore candidates have been duly certified under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme across the country.
"The Centre Government is focusing on providing digital literacy to citizens across the country, especially in rural areas. In line with this, the government has taken various steps including the launch of PMGDISHA. Though the progress of this scheme is not much satisfactory with less than 1 lakh candidates are certified out of more than 2 lakh. Under National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM), a total of 26000 youth were enrolled and all of them were trained and certified.
"During the years 2014 to 2016, Government of India had implemented two Schemes on providing digital literacy to the masses namely "NDLM" and "Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA)" with a cumulative target of 52.50 lakh persons (one person from every eligible household) across the country including rural India. Under these two schemes, a total of 53.67 lakh beneficiaries were trained, out of which around 42 percent candidates were from rural India. However, both schemes have been closed now.
The government has been conducting the training at the Common Service Centres (CSCs) or Training Centres with 3-5 computers and a minimum of one teaching faculty. It had approved over 413,000 training centres at a total budget outlay of Rs 2,351.38 crore for the scheme, the minister said.

Former Portsmouth midfielder Gary O'Neil has been backed to become a "top manager" after his impressive audition for the current vacancy at Bournemouth.
O'Neil, who played almost 200 times for the Blues between 2000 and 2007, has been in interim charge of Premier League side Bournemouth since Scott Parker was sacked by the Cherries last month. In his two games as interim boss, O'Neil has guided the Dorset club to four points, drawing 0-0 in a home game against Wolves before a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Bournemouth are yet to decide over Parker's long-term successor, with the Cherries taking their time to make a decision as they look to try and stay in the Premier League, having been promoted from the Championship last term.

But former Bristol City manager Dean Holden has given his verdict on 39-year-old O'Neil, who he worked with during his time at Ashton Gate as the midfielder reached the closing stages of his playing career.
Writing on Twitter, he said: "Really hope Gary O'Neil gets the opportunity on a full-time basis at AFC Bournemouth. Getting to know him whilst he was a player at Bristol City, you could see he had what it takes to become a top manager."
O'Neil has spent time coaching since retiring from playing, working with Liverpool's under-23 squad before making the move to join Bournemouth as senior first team coach in February 2021, working under Jonathan Woodgate before remaining as part of Parker's backroom team.

Hello. I've just uploaded playlist # 059.
Why Reading Is The Most Intelligent Thing You Can Do (link) via Inc.
Recently I read an important book on the whole healthcare debacle entitled "An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back" by Elizabeth Rosenthal. I thank the Universe (and/or Jesus, Allah & Buddha, whatever floats your boat) that we have some Senators working extra hard to #SaveACA, stop this ridiculous #AHCA, and continue the journey towards #SinglePayer, also known as #SB562 in California. There are forces trying to shut it down, but people are fighting hard. I really hope Governor Brown, as amazing as the work on #ClimateChange he's been doing, I hope he takes a look at #SB562.
I also finished the 2nd novel volume in the Yukikaze saga, it's a Sci-Fi military story. It's written by Chōhei Kambayashi, and it's also available in Anime format (5 volumes). Please check it out! If more people read the series, the publisher will finally translate novel volume 3 from Japanese into English.
I'm really excited about the new Fast & Furious that just came out on iTunes, and looking forward the latest Transformers movie as well. The next movie I'm gonna watch is probably Logan, it's the latest Marvel movie that is out, along with Guardians of the Galaxy 2. We still have a long way until the new The Avengers come out, but at least, there's a new Spiderman movie out in a week.
I have only read Malcolm Gladwell's first book. I look forward to reading the rest of his books.
Hello. I've just posted playlist #055. The first song is a collaboration between The Chainsmokers and Coldplay. It's called: "Something Just Like This." Pretty good song. It's deemed cheesy but cheesy can be good.
Right now I'm listening to Drake's "More Life" playlist. It's really good, and great to hear new Drake music. Assassin's Creed was finally on iTunes so I got to watch it. Great movie, although it did have bad reviews. Ubisoft is working on the next installment and skipped a year to polish the final product from what the blogosphere is saying. Manchester United is still in the Europa League, Quarter-Finals are next month, along with UCL. Imperative that MANUTD wins, so they get back to the UCL next year. I just read Najat Vallaud-Belkacem (French Minister of Education)'s book. I really connected with the book because she refers the conundrum of being in the middle of two cultures, being an immigrant yet viewing herself as a proud French person. It's something that a lot of people deal with in France. People deem you as being "unpatriotic" because of the color of your skin. There are millions of immigrants working extremely hard, and their stories have been told, it just gets lost in the news cycle. Then you get the rise of "Populism" which is scary as hell. Thankfully they didn't win in Holland. Yet Le Pen might win in France, hence the importance of voting in the elections. Abstention is not an option, the risks are far too great.
Anyway, #SXSW just wrapped up, so be sure to check out coverage on your favorite tech blogs, I'm sure there were some great stories! Also, Ultra Music Festival is happening soon, so if you're going, have fun, but please be safe.
PS. I saw MØ in concert! It was amazing. Her voice is incredible, can't wait for the new album.


Good yields of 2-5 oz. red tomatoes.
This very early tomato variety is excellent for container growing. The plants produce good yields of 2-5 oz. red tomatoes. The egg-shaped fruits have a very good flavor. 2-3 harvests per summer.


Shop local! These will be the fruits and vegetables that are at their peak, both in ripeness and nutritional value. They will be available from local sources like farmers markets, farm stands, and your local grocer that supports growers in your area. Through buying your food locally you are not only supporting the economy in your area, but you will not be receiving produce that had to be picked far before it was ready in order to be transported from across the world.
You and your family could also have a seasonal garden. Growing food together is a great way to learn planning strategies, organization techniques, cooperation, facts about ecology, and how to connect with the earth. This is not to mention the mind-blowing pride that comes from eating something you grew yourself!
* This list of seasonal foods came from "Edible Marin and Wine Country": a great resource for local food.

Not only a fruitful keep running at the silver screen, however a gigantic reaction with fans lining outside film lobbies for tickets and a 100 crore in addition to accumulation in its initial couple of days, is what is normal from a Salman Khan film.

"Downton Abbey Style" at Rutgers Art Library
Graphic by Jill Marshall-Work
The popularity of PBS's Downton Abbey, now in its sixth and final season, cannot be overstated. Many organizations have capitalized on "Downton Abbey fever," offering viewing parties, lectures, classes, workshops, tea parties, fashion shows, and more.
Most viewers are captured by the romance of a bygone era and captivated by the sumptuous costumes of the show. The exhibit at the Art Library, Rutgers University–New Brunswick runs through Wednesday, March 30, ties together fine art, literature, history, design, fashion, and decorative arts of the period covered by the show, 1912–1925. Highlights of the exhibit include costumes and accessories on loan from the Mason Gross School of the Arts theater department and vintage and repro props/hats from Jill's Prop Shop, a local theatrical service. One part of the display includes a historical timeline, juxtaposed with a timeline of key Downton Abbey events, accompanied by images of art and literature of the period. The display cases include some surprising items that made their first appearance in the early 1900s.
The exhibit is curated by Art Library intern Jill Work, proprietor of Jill's Prop Shop and currently completing her MLIS at University of Alabama. Work also created a "libguide," which has direct links to the catalog for books related to styles of the period, as well as links to web resources compiled by librarian Kareemah Hamden. The libguide, found at http://libguides.rutgers.edu/downtonabbeystyle also features historical timeline, a brief photo gallery on the exhibit, and a slideshow of period industrial and social/cultural achievements.
Work explains her interest in mounting the exhibit: "I want to put Downton Abbey into a historical context. I find it fascinating that it would be appropriate to the period for Lady Mary to be munching on Oreos, her son George to by playing with Lincoln Logs, and Dr. Clarkson to be prescribing a radioactive water such as Radithor—as a health drink! The Crawley family could be reading new books by Zane Grey and Sigmund Freud, reciting poetry by Carl Sandberg, and viewing newly-created art by the likes of Kandinsky, Picasso, Monet, and Norman Rockwell."
Art Librarian Megan Lotts states, "I'm delighted to have this exhibit at the Art Library because viewers of this exhibit will have the opportunity to learn more about the time period in which Downtown Abbey takes place. Curator Jill Work has done an outstanding job bringing together memorabilia and ephemera to highlight the history, culture, and important moments that were occurring in the early 1900s. This exhibit will be of interest to those who love the PBS series, or have an interest in history."
The exhibit runs through March 30. The Art Library is located at 71 Hamilton St., New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901, on Rutgers' College Avenue campus, adjacent to the Zimmerli Art Museum. There is metered parking on the street, and campus buses and city buses make stops by the museum.

Hamilton warned that the PSNI's Legacy Investigations Branch, which he said was "never designed to be a long term solution to our past", was unlikely to complete its investigations.
Under the Stormont House deal of late 2014, a Historical Inquiries Unit (HIU) of perhaps 300 investigators was meant to be set up to solve cases arising from the conflict, particularly state killings and collusion.
However, there is no mention of this under the new 'Fresh Start' accord agreed last month by Sinn Fein, the DUP and the Dublin and London governments. After Britain refused to allow its 'national security' to be compromised by any future investigations, negotiators instead agreed to drop the plan.
Some 937 incomplete cases from the old Historical Enquiries Team and new cases are being dealt with by 55 PSNI members in its 'Legacy Investigations Branch' -- including some senior figures who were potentially involved in the murders they are meant to be investigating.
Relatives of the victims of the conflict have denounced the deal, which appears to have wrecked their hopes of truth, justice and closure. Hamilton said he felt "real disappointment for the PSNI, and indeed for many grieving families" at the failure to reach agreement on the past.
"For many people affected by the past, the perception of independence will only be possible when dealing with the past sits entirely outside the PSNI", he said.
This week, he appointed a detective to review the actions of the British Army's notorious Military Reaction Force, responsible for scores of paramilitary-style shootings and bombings -- but only days before families of the MRF's victims were about to go into the High Court to force him to do so.
Hamilton had argued there was no evidence of criminal activity by members of the force, even though some members, poorly disguised, revealed very explicit details of their murder campaign in a television documentary last year.
Meanwhile, other aspects of the 'Fresh Start' deal have caused even greater consternation, as trade union activists joined republicans and socialists in street protests over the agreement to allow deep cuts in the North's welfare system while control over austerity measures is handed back to the Tory government in London.
One such protest took place outside Sinn Fein offices in west Belfast last weekend. Party councillors lashed out at those who took part, with one, Ciaran Beattie, describing them as "a group of misfits who are up to their necks in criminality".
Sinn Fein's leader on Belfast city council, Jim McVeigh, also infuriated the Irish Republican Socialist Party when he claimed that one of its party members involved in the protest was a loyalist wife-beater and drug-dealer.
The IRSP called for the comments to be withdrawn. In a statement, they also urged McVeigh to "apologise for attempting to discredit union activists who dared to express their disgust and opposition to this latest phase of Tory assault on the working class".
There was no apology from Sinn Fein, but instead the party's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness directed his fire at the SDLP leader Colum Eastwood. Last week, the newly elected party leader said a lack of policy development had led to Sinn Fein being 'sold a pup'.
"Their long crafted story of skilled negotiation has been exposed as a myth," he wrote.
Mr McGuinness said like all the other parties, Sinn Fein had "faced a choice".
"We could either work to do the best deal possible for the people we represent, or we could walk away and content ourselves with sniping from the sidelines," he said.


For 125 years, the Royal Life Saving Society - Australia has worked to harness the strengths of the communities we work with to reduce drowning and turn everyday people into everyday community lifesavers.
The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) was founded in England in 1891 to combat a high drowning toll. The first Australian Branch was formed in New South Wales in 1894 and the movement soon spread to all States and Territories.
Royal Life Saving recognizes the importance of its volunteers through the Honours Awards System. Recognizing the significant role volunteers play in educating people in water safety, survival, rescue, resuscitation and first aid techniques in an effort to reduce injury and loss of life through drowning.
Further, commendations are given to people from all walks of life and all sections of society who have displayed exceptional or exemplary effort in the rescue, attempted rescue, resuscitation attempt or application of first aid of another human being. Commendations may also recognize outstanding rescue management or individual displays of initiative and resourcefulness in the rescue or attempted rescue of another.


If a white man had said the same of blacks, he'd have been arrested for inciting racial violence. A black man spews his hatred, and he recieves applause in the capitol building. Sort of makes you feel like you're the only person with a brain.
See, its not racism unless it comes from the majority. Don't get me wrong, racism is the product of ignorance and blatantly wrong thinking. But no matter who the racism comes from, its ugly and disgusting, and frankly makes the person spouting the hate speech look extremely stupid.
Further, as you can probably see from the captions in the video, the overall subject was Hurricane Katrina Relief for African Americans. Seems to me that Hurricane Katrina was a disaster for Americans in general, not just the blacks. The media (and a certain Ray Nagin) is responsible for making this into a racial issue and further dividing the nation, rather than providing the solidarity we need to deal with such disasters.
The guy in this video, all the counter-racism racist civil rights lawyers, the KKK and the skinheads of the nation are pollutants and stains on the flag.

Q: run uwsgi after official nginx container start? I just write a customized container dockerfile including CMD["uwsgi", "--ini", "uwsgi.ini"] based on nginx official image
And I see there's a CMD["nginx", "-g", "daemon off"] in the end of Dockerfile of this nginx official image.
That should means starting nginx when container starts.
So my CMD["uwsgi", "--ini", "uwsgi.ini"] in my dockerfile will overridde it, thus the container will immediately exit.
How should I not override it and make both nginx and uwsgi work?
I'v googled a lot but none of those solutions are based on nginx official image.
Obviously I can run another container just for uwsgi and connect it to nginx container(i.e. the container runned by nginx offcial image), but I think it's troublesome and unnecessary.
the nginx offcial image here

A: You can use ENTRYPOINT or CMD to run multiple processes inside a container by feeding a shell script/wrapper. You should try to refrain from it since that isn't a best practice. Single container should be responsible for managing single process.
However there is a workaround by which you can manage multiple processes inside a container i.e by using a shell script wrapper or supervisor.
It's there in official docs -
https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/multi-service_container/

A: First, this is not docker philosophy to run 2 processes in one container.
This is a commonly accepted one : officialy, and through the community
So you'd rather build a stack, with both a nginx and your application.
Provided you really want or need to do this your way, you can pipe several command within the CMD instruction if you specify the command shell at first... but you can also use a script here.
Remember that the script will be executed from within your container, so think from a container POV, and not from a host one!

The design of this three handle trophy with crossed bats on the front, is seen in the hobby occasionally. However this example is a true classic because it's size 12" tall by 13" wide handle to handle. Rarely is this size seen. The engraving is very well done, above and below the bats. The deep south region it originated from, near Birmingham Alabama lends special character to know baseball was alive and well there in 1910. Usually such a trophy would have the silver makers mark on the bottom. A. J. Reach apparently ordered this with their own logo in the place where the silver makers mark would be. If I had to guess I'd say the Derby silver concern made it. Derby made some of the best looking stock trophies from the 1890's to the 1930's.

As I only code in Javascript, there is some apparently useless stuff in the scope, but I was trying to bash any possible parameter, desperately trying to override the theme behaviour responsible for the overwriting. Of course, not knowing what I'm doing, I failed.
I thought I had made some sort of mistake, but if I restart VSC it DOES work, just for 1 or 2 seconds, then it automatically resets to the theme standard (the base team is VSC Dark standard).
:
On start:
After a couple seconds:
I have no "beautifying" or graphical extensions.
VSC is updated to last version.
What causes the overwrite, and how can I avoid it?

A: *

*Go to settings.

*Turn off semantic highlighting

When I got married in 1999, I was at some point certain I can be a good wife but I wasn't really sure whether I can be a good mother or we can be good parents. I understand parenthood is something that involves enormous amount of sacrifice, sensible amount of money, an undivided attention, much of our time, emotional energy and a good working social and cultural environment to make this discourse work.
Just like any typical parent who wants nothing but the best for their children we did consider migrating to other country whose incidence to positive child-rearing was high. We have overflowing points at that time to qualify for migration being my husband a computer programmer and me, a teacher, but we forego of the opportunity after my father-in-law died and after lengthy family matter considerations.
Shortly after we've pronounced our decision, Davao City bagged the Most Child-Friendly City in the Philippines. I wasn't surprised because ever since the Children's Welfare Code of 1994 was passed, the local government of this city has been working to champion the cause of the children. It's actually a long overdue recognition and it was well worth it, the city was awarded not once, twice but thrice this year as a Most Child-Friendly City in the country, we then decided - let's just stay home and raise our kids here.
I'd like to believe that we've made a good decision to stay and raise our kids here, as Davao City has provided us the infrastructure to upholding the rights of our children and has given us an overwhelming opportunity of work so we can steward them to become good and productive citizens of this country.
Vital to children's growth and development is their health and nutrition and providing varied nutritious food to my children posed no problem at all, Davao City markets are blessed to have the freshest fruits, vegetables, sea foods and other meat products that are so affordable every parent of all stature can afford, there is no reason for a growing child in this city to be less nourished.
This factor is further enhanced by the passing of the landmark law, Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance in 2002, this gained Davao City various citations from all over the world being the first 100-percent smoke-free metropolitan in Southeast Asia and no one I think will disagree that a smoke-free environment is imperative to growing healthy and well children, not to mention it's the cleanest and greenest city in the country.
Education is a prime factor to raising dynamic children. Davao City hosts a number of high-performing schools in the country, not to mention they're just minute-drive away from our homes. We also have a lot of educational facilities and activities that promote culture, arts, entertainment and sports in the city – Special mention the two museums - Museo Dabawenyo, Museum of Davao in Insular Village which my kids frequent, Cinematheque Davao, which after knowing they can watch movie for free, have been whining to come over and over again, and who can't miss out our Kadayawan Festival which is a very rich venue for our growing children to catch sight of our abounding and diverse cultural community unique only to our city.
Experts say, all study and not play makes a kid dull. Oh well, as the recognition asserts that Davao City is the Most Child-Friendly City in the country, we have all the accessible social and vibrant economic infrastructures to settle this. Davao City is the only city in the country where you can enjoy life both the tranquility of the highlands, the bustling lights and sounds of the lowlands, the pristine beaches and white sand in just a day.
Let's start from the highlands, there are countless mountain resorts in the city today, your choice of accommodation and one of the places I bring my kids to chill out and allow them to shout their hearts out is Eden Nature Park, I find it a perfect place to wind down for children who's now beginning to live with their iPads and HDTVs. It's the best place to interact and see in flesh the real flying peacock, slide the rope and let them see a real deer grazing; it's like a Science field trip and a week-end camp out rolled into one.
But as parents it is our duty to process this, 'God only knows', yeah, safe answer I guess for someone who doesn't know too what the answer is. But the other point is that we encourage creative and relaxed environment for their learning which is a very available resource in this city.
The beach in the lowland is my kids' ultimate city break destination; they can stay here like until forever. I tell you, my patience here is really tested to some crazy levels and to a point where you can't do nothing anymore but Coke-chill yourself and finger-lick a sack of Cheetos while gluing your eyes on the water.
And on some tight occasions where there's no time to prepare for the beach, there are countless inland resorts in the city where you can bring your kids to unwind.
Davao City is also a convenient major hub to flying to other key cities in the country and the world; you can take your kids out of the city with no hassle at all, well, except for flight delays. Traveling does more to their learning than paying a tutor to learning Physics, how airplanes fly and an exciting adventure for them to learn how other people in other places live their lives. Nothing compares to listening to their stories about their trip while sending them to sleep. And all the more reason for me to work hard so I'll have something for the next booking, geeeez!
Vital to a person's holistic development is establishing a core of their spirituality. Davao City is a free and boundless city to practicing diverse religious activity. Parents with their children from all walks of life can practice their kind of religiosity in the city without being cuffed or fear of getting imprisoned, unless they go beyond what this city's social more and law prescribed.
My children grow up so fast and that they're now finding a unique style of their own. My eldest son who is now in his 8th grade seldom go out with us anymore, not even in pictures, he's now having a circle of his own – an adolescent stage where having a lot of mood swings and a lot of his social issues are being raised out. But I'm confident that with the values we seed in them that would be their guiding bough to bear good fruits in the future. I also would commend the efforts of the city authorities that worked so hard to free this city from illegal drugs that in so doing would save our youth from danger.
I'm attesting to this common notion that raising children these days is harder than any parent could have thought easy before, but I bank on the idea that this social function can be as rewarding if parents will work hand-in-hand to raising compassionate children and who believe in the means of their government that works to uphold the rights of the children that works to provide a good quality environment to nurture their skills and talents which in the long run a productive and vital component to building a strong, solid yet benevolent nation.
I understand that not all children in this city have the same, if I may say privileged circumstance as my children, but what is important is that we see the government of Davao City has worked to leaving a legacy of outmost optimism and a policy that upholds and protects the rights and brought in the torch of willpower to better the lives of every children in this city.
I remember my mother once said to me, to teach my children 20 years before they were born. I'd like to believe we're doing this now for the good of our children's children.
Commendation also goes to the vibrant corporate community of this city; they've provided opportunities to many parents and would-be ones that in return will have the means to raise their children.
And at the end of the day, nothing beats a family that goes home to a happy, story-laughter-filled dinner nga gi-ubanan sa iced cold Coca-Cola.
And as to my hesitations whether I can be good a parent? 15 years after, I found my parenting niche, just like the three-fold guiding principle of Coca-Cola to be innovative, I'm working on my parenting strategies as innovative as possible – a kind of raising children that is still anchored on the values and traditions of the past but keeping abreast with the development as to where this city and this country is heading.
Another is to be creative. Creative parenting is not new to me; in fact, I just bought a double XL shirt as my creative 'get-along shirt' for my kids to settle their issues before they'll raise it up to me.
And lastly, focus. Just like Coca-Cola who works and focus on unique ideas that impacts the saturated marketplace, this lowly parent on the other hand works on eliminating distortions – gadgets, TV, etc. and trimming it down so we all can hit our targets and get it done.
Nothing compares to raising children in Davao City, nothing compares to Coca-Cola, #WalayKaparehas.


The exhibition Wasteland. New Art from Los Angeles will take place in two parallel venues in Paris, the Mona Bismarck American Center and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin, from 12 March to 17 July 2016. The curator, Shamim M. Momin, Director and Curator of LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) has brought together the work of fourteen artists.
On the occasion of this unprecedented collaboration between LAND, the Mona Bismarck American Center, and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, two exhibitions will be presented simultaneously, including some of the most interesting artists working in Los Angeles today. New works have been commissioned to the fourteen artists in order to create an engaging dialogue between the two exhibition venues.
Drawing on T.S. Eliot's seminal modernist poem, The Waste Land, as the thematic thread between the 14 artists – all based in or strongly influenced by Los Angeles – the exhibition presents a reflexive, complex, multi-dimensional conversation about the poetics of despair, the search for true connection, the tenuous state of morality, and the uncertainty, yet necessity, of the future. The original text was published in 1922, written at a moment of disturbing parallel to the present, one of great disillusionment with the state of the world politically (post WWI) and culturally (the modern urban landscape) and individually (the increasing loss of true communication, connection, and faith).
Beyond the literary referent, the title also evokes other definitions and connotations – whether the old chestnut (long disproven but still present) of Los Angeles as a "cultural wasteland," or a more literal reading of the word applied to the physical geography of both the city and the natural landscape of Southern California. It additionally calls to mind resonant images of the post-apocalyptic, the post-human, the potential future, largely created through the image magic of Los Angeles' greatest export, Hollywood.
Diverse in nature and practice, the artists in Wasteland, who are all connected to Los Angeles, work in many different media and modes of presentation – a kind of "expanded practice" in which all aspects of their oeuvre are considered equally important; a performance as much as a sculpture, an interactive installation as much as a painting, a music group as much as a photograph. In keeping with this approach, this exhibition is an opportunity to additionally consider site – both the specific venues, as well as the city of Paris itself – as part of the work presented. In every case, the artist will create a newly commissioned work or recombine works to create a conversation with and between the two venues, as well as the two cities.
A catalogue will be published on the occasion of the exhibition, with an overall thematic text by Shamim M. Momin. Los Angeles-based writers, art historians, editors, and curators have been selected to contribute one essay specific to each of the fourteen artists on view. The writers include Andrew Berardini, Carol Cheh, Trinie Dalton, Cesar Garcia, Suzanne Hudson, Laura Hyatt, Jamillah James, Kristina Kite, Sharon Mizota, Julian Myers, Claire Rifelj, and Kate Wolf.
Committed to following and supporting the American art scene since its inception, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac hosted in 2013 in its Pantin venue an exhibition of art in New York, curated by Norman Rosenthal and Alex Gartenfeld. Empire State met with such a success that we are delighted to repeat this experience thanks to Shamim Momin.


Some quick, barely researched, not fully-formed thoughts from South Carolina's 35-28 victory over North Carolina State.
Elite. Make no mistake, the victory Saturday over North Carolina State was a complete team effort. Offense, defense, special teams, and all the sub-groups that make up those units had significant contributions in the mild upset of a dark horse contender for the ACC title. But this game was about two guys in particular – Deebo Samuel and Jake Bentley.
Samuel electrified the crowd by taking the opening kickoff of the season back 97 yards for a touchdown. He later scored on a quick slant from six yards out, and then snared a 39-yard rope from Bentley with one hand that is an early candidate for play of the year. One year ago we still weren't completely sure what we had in Samuel. When healthy he showed flashes of brilliance, but a balky hamstring kept him from reaching his full potential each of the last two seasons. Now Samuel is having high praise heaped on him from national media outlets. Completely healthy, he is the go-to playmaker this team has been missing since Pharoh Cooper took his talents to the NFL.
Bentley was far from perfect. He missed a handful of easy throws, and had one ill-advised deep ball early that should've been intercepted. But regarding those, there is one thing of which we can be assured – he will work hard to correct, and will correct, those mistakes.
The fate of the 2017 season, at least offensively, rests on the shoulders of these two guys.
Statistically speaking. Uh, if you haven't already, don't look at the statistics. Just don't. I know, the only statistic that matters is the final score, but it is a little disturbing that we were doubled up in total yardage and allowed a 400-yard passing game to a slightly above average ACC quarterback.
As we found out last year, bend but don't break is great when it works, but you can't rely on it week in and week out. Our pass rush improved as the game went on, but our coverage skills, particularly on one side of the field (cough, King, cough) did not. I loved how some of our young guys looked on the defensive line and at linebacker in particular, but we desperately need to find a way to get off the field on third down more often.
D-lighted. On the bright side, DJ Wonnum and Kier Thomas in particular had very good games on the defensive line, helping the Gamecocks record four sacks on the day while the Wolfpack's all-world defensive line only had two. In addition, linebacker TJ Brunson racked up 16 (!) tackles and fellow 'backer and freshman Sherrod Greene showed great speed and aggressiveness while he was on the field. Jamyest Williams took his lumps in the secondary, but he was often matched up against Jaylen Samuel, arguably NC State's best offensive player. All the freshmen and sophomores in the defensive rotation acquitted themselves well despite the high yardage total given up, which bodes well for the future of the defense.
MIA. The Gamecock run game was non-existent yesterday, which for the moment we will attribute to the stout front seven of NCSU. In a mild upset, AJ Turner got second team carries at tailback over Ty'Son Williams. I'm not sure if that's a product of Turner's longevity and good standing with the staff, or if he's actually outplayed Williams in the preseason. Regardless, neither had an impact on the game, with Turner getting one carry for two yards, and Williams not being credited with a rushing attempt and catching one pass for five yards.
Also missing were our pass catching tight ends. Preseason All-SEC selection Hayden Hurst had a man-sized block on Rico Dowdle's second touchdown run, but caught only one pass for minus two yards on the day. Neither K.C. Crosby nor Jacob August had a catch. Maybe it was a product of NC State's defense, but we'll need production from that position for our offense to be all it can be.
Prevent(s you from winning). The Gamecocks punted to the Wolfpack with 1:38 left in the first half and up by seven. NC State took possession on its own 21 and proceeded to march 79 yards in 10 plays for the game-tying touchdown. How the hell do you get off TEN plays in 1:38? Well, if the defense mostly rushes three and gives a 10-12 yard cushion and doesn't guard the boundary, turns out it's pretty darned easy. I still haven't figured out what the staff was thinking.
Under center. On our final offensive possession, Jake Bentley went under center on second down. I was actually thinking earlier in the week if I could remember Bentley taking a snap under center, and I couldn't. That second down snap was the first time I can ever remember it happening. I thought it was odd timing given the danger of fumbling a snap in that situation.
However, I do like the fact we are practicing at least some under center. There's not much worse than a fourth-and-inches situation and seeing a team line up in the shotgun.
Harmon-ized. Sophomore Kelvin Harmon led the Wolfpack in receiving with 10 catches for 114 yards. You may remember Harmon as a former Gamecock commit who spurned the Gamecocks when Steve Spurrier retired. Harmon was the target for NCSU quarterback Ryan Finley on the Wolfpack's last ditch attempt to tie the game. That would've been quite a kick in the jubblies.
Hold the LOLs. Last year at this time we were looking ahead to facing a Mississippi State team that had just been upset by South Alabama. We all had a good laugh at their misfortune, and while we weren't chalking up a victory quite yet, we certainly felt good about the possibility of going into Starkville and getting the W. We received our comeuppance in the form of a 27-14 beatdown that wasn't nearly that close.
Yesterday we watched in amazement as Missouri State rolled up 35 points and moved the ball at will against next week's opponent, Missouri. It was once again LOL-worthy seeing a future conference opponent get shredded like that. However, the Tiger defense tightened up in the second half while their offense never slowed down, scoring 72 points and finishing with 815 total yards.
I've seen a lot of Gamecock fans feeling confident about this game, thinking "they won't be able to stop us, and surely our defense is better than Missouri State's". All I can say is, not so fast my friend. Yes, our defense is probably better, but that doesn't mean this won't be a shootout. Remember, we gave up a boatload of yards to an offense yesterday that is not nearly as potent as Missouri's. This game will be a battle, and the fact the Tigers have been installed as a 4.5 point favorite, I think the folks in Las Vegas agree.
I got the feeling that when we went up by two TDs in the third, we felt that (a) we would win; (b) that we had scored more points than the pundits thought possible and (c) NCSU was just another ACC team we would have a 10+ pt. victory over. Credit State's adjustments, but our 1st down % really stunk in the five final possessions, and the playcalling got funky. We cannot afford that going forward.
