Giordana's renowned for their attention to detail throughout the FormaRed Carbon collection, transferring this same thoughtful design to the the FR-C Tall Cuff Socks. The FR-C Tall Cuff Socks utilize the same attention to fit and stand-out aesthetics that cemented the FormaRed Carbon collection as an icon in the world of cycling apparel. This particular version is a bit taller with a 13-centimeter cuff length that sits over your calf muscles for additional support. To start out, Giordana uses Meryl Skinlife, a nylon fiber that embeds silver particles to prevent the growth of funky microbes when you're sweating profusely. This nylon fiber wicks moisture off your feet to keep them nice and cool, and more importantly, free of the sweaty, clammy feel that often leads to irritation while you're pedaling. It's placed alongside a subtle amount of Lycra to stabilize and support these socks as you push down the road at an ever-accelerating cadence.

The English River Book
A North West Company Journal and Account Book of 1786
Edited by Harry W. Duckworth
Exploration & Travel Studies, History: Canada: Western Canada, History: Canada: Pre-confederation Canada
The arrival of Montreal-based fur trader Peter Pond in Athabaska territory in 1778 and the establishment of the first trading post within the watershed of the Mackenzie River marked the beginning of a period of intense northern exploration. Alexander Mackenzie's voyages to the Arctic and Pacific oceans quickly brought the Canadian north west to European attention.
One of the few surviving documents from this important period in Canadian history is The English River
In 1786 the North West Company traded furs in Athabaska territory as a branch of its English River district. English River was the fur trader's name for the Churchill River. The journal, which was probably kept by Cuthbert Grant the elder (later a North West Company partner), provides a day-to-day record of trade in the spring of April 1786 at Fort Athabaska, under the direction of Peter Pond. The vividly written text describes Pond's peremptory manner with the Indians and the traders'return to civilization in May. Colourful anecdotes describe events such as the time the Athabaska River, blocked by ice, flooded the fort, leaving its inhabitants scrambling for the rafters.
The journal lists the names of clerks and voyageurs and contains some of the earliest native names on record. In addition to listing the names of those who worked and traded in the area, The English River Book catalogues duties, wages, stations, and many other details concerning the approximately one hundred voyageurs in the English River district during 1785 and 1786. Included are many familiar figures: such as Joseph Cartier, an interpreter whose fur trading career lasted almost sixty years, and Joseph Landry and Charles Doucette, the Acadian voyageurs who a few years later guided Alexander Mackenzie to the Arctic and the Pacific oceans, The English River Book also contains inventories of trading goods, some familiar, some mysterious, and features a short Cree trading vocabulary.
In The English River Book romantic lore of the fur trade and the adventurous lives of the traders are recounted on the spot and in the heat of events. This text is unique in that, rather than providing the reminiscence of a retired trader, it presents an active working journal.

Finally, James Ihedigbo has found work in 2016. The veteran defensive back has signed with the Bills, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
Ihedigbo comes to Buffalo roughly two weeks after safety Aaron Williams was placed on injured reserve. Williams' neck injury left the Bills with a less-than-stellar group of safeties to draw from, leading the Bills to add a proven veteran in Ihedigbo. Although Ihedigbo did not play well in 2015, he is not far removed from his career-best season in 2014.
The veteran, who has history with Rex Ryan when they were both with the Jets, finished out 2015 as Pro Football Focus' No. 64 ranked safety out of 69 qualifiers. The year before that, Ihedigbo was strong as he saw time at both strong safety and free safety. The Dolphins passed on him as a depth option last month, but he could be in store for a feature role in the Bills' banged up secondary.
To make room, Duke Williams has been cut by Buffalo. The former fourth-round pick took to Twitter to thank Bills fans for their support on Tuesday afternoon. The safety appeared in every regular season game for the Bills last season but has not seen the field in 2016.

Q: Node JS and Tilestrata to serve SRTM Tiles I emailed one of the authors and it turns out that tilestrata-disk wasn't meant to be used as a "provider" in their system. No wonder! Here's what Brian Reavis said about how the cache works:

A cache expects tiles to come from somewhere else. It's job is to wrap a tile source (provider) with some sort of storage and retrieval mechanism. The disk cache has its own file and directory structure that it expects, so using it to serve your pre-cut tiles would probably be a problem.

So, I'm not going to do that. Now I will work on serving with a more complete stack that includes Mapnik for rendering via tilestrata-mapnik. He did rewrite part of tilestrata-disk so that it can be used as a "provider" should anyone care to try that.

I'm stuck with a server that runs without errors, but offers no output.  I don't know what's wrong, but my guesses are something to do with the raster's xml stylesheet (used by Mapnik to render the tiles from their GTiff source) or the source layer's projection (EPSG:3857 - spherical mercator).
This is what I have so far in my server.js file:
var tilestrata = require('tilestrata');
var disk = require('tilestrata-disk');
var mapnik = require('tilestrata-mapnik');
var strata = tilestrata.createServer();

//define layers
strata.layer('srtm')
    .route('tile.png')
        .use(disk.cache({dir: './tiles/srtm/'}))
        .use(mapnik({
            xml: './styles/srtm.xml',
            tileSize: 256,
            scale: 1
        }));
strata.listen(8080);

I've gotten rid of all the errors that showed up due to bad XML, but I can't get it the tiles to serve.  I when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/0/0/0/tile.png per Brian's suggestions, I just get a message that reads: "The image 'http://localhost:8080/0/0/0/tile.png' cannot be displayed because it contains errors."

A: I forgot to include the layer in the url.
As the documentation clearly points out, the URL format works like this:
http://localhost:<port>/<layer-name>/<z>/<x>/<y>/<route-name>
With that small change, I now have it working on my Mapbox.js map without any problems.

I had three porcelain crowns put on a few weeks ago. They are very sensitive, especially to hot and cold. I've had a second opinion and he said there doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong with them. What should I do?
It is not uncommon for porcelain crowns to be a little sensitive in the beginning. If they aren't getting worse, then I would give them a few more weeks to let them settle down. It is possible they were overly irritated during the crown process. Be gentle with them, avoiding things that irritate them. Though don't neglect flossing. It is important to keep them clean. If, however, they take a turn for the worse, then you need to go back in to find out why they're not healing.

Liz Fekete has done all socialists and anti-racists a service by documenting the extent of right wing mobilisation across Europe. She discusses the rise of the fascist right such as the Front National in France, and the right wing parties that are gaining ground in Austria, Poland, Hungary and the rest of eastern Europe.
Importantly she identifies this push as coming not simply from fascist ideologues but from the actions of mainstream parties as they adopt increasingly right wing positions.
Last month's first round presidential election in Austria showed a dangerous shift to the right. Norbert Hofer of the fascist Freedom Party came top with 36 percent of the vote. In second place was the Green Party candidate with 20 percent.
There will be a run-off election between the two to decide the presidency on 22 May. Although the president is mainly a ceremonial role, Hofer has already claimed that he would dissolve parliament before the next parliamentary elections in 2018.
On the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Tom Kay examines how anti-Semitism used by the German ruling class as a weapon against the workers' movement escalated into genocide.
In the course of the Holocaust 6 million Jews — two thirds of the entire European Jewish population — died at the hands of the Nazi murder machine. Adolph Hitler's regime oversaw the killing of roughly 5 million socialists, communists, Roma Gypsies, Slavs, Christians, LGBT and disabled people.
The opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw represents a milestone in confronting both the country's history and present day anti-Semitism, writes Andy Zebrowski.
Anti-Semitism remains the most common form of racism in Poland. The sweeping under the carpet of Jewish history is one aspect of this. The newly opened Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw is an important opportunity to remember the millions the Nazis murdered.
The museum is a splendid monument, majestic and architecturally interesting. It stands in the old Jewish area of Warsaw facing the monument to the Ghetto Heroes, where clashes between the Nazis and Jewish fighters took place during the Ghetto Uprising in 1943. But the museum deals with more than the Holocaust.

This post is sponsored by FoodSaver®. All opinions are my own.
Impress your guests without the stress with this perfectly cooked and simply seasoned rack of lamb. With the help of FoodSaver® technology and the sous vide style of cooking, you can create consistent and delicious results for all your holiday dinner guests.
We are in the full swing of Christmas things right now. We have visited the North Pole on the Polar Express, watched all the claymation Christmas classics, and viewed more Christmas lights than we can count. The best part of this Christmas though is that I get to HOST. This year my mom, dad, brother, SIL (my sister-in-law), two nieces, and their Au pair are coming to spend the holiday at our house. The last time I hosted was 7 years ago and to say I'm excited is putting it lightly. While it can be stressful, I also find a lot of joy in decorating the house, getting the rooms ready, and most importantly, planning the FOOD.
I'm envisioning breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls, a big batch of seafood gumbo, and plenty of snacks and appetizers on hand at all times. In fact, I imagine most of our eating will be casual (because four kids under 6). However, Christmas dinner is one meal I look forward to making a little more special.
I am so looking forward to setting the table, using our Christmas dishes, lighting candles, and making it an experience. This also means a fancier entree, which excites me! Once upon a time I would get really intimidated by expensive cuts of meat because I envisioned dropping serious cash then totally screwing it up while cooking it. That resulted in more pressure then I cared to deal with but now it's a whole new (and less stressful) ballgame thanks to my FoodSaver® FM5000 2-in-1 Food Preservation System and Anova Sous Vide Stick.
We started cooking sous vide a couple years ago and I am still giddy every time I pull out a perfectly cooked steak, chicken, seafood, or even asparagus. The term sous vide (pronounced soo–veed) is a French term, meaning under vacuum. Sous vide is a cooking technique in which vacuum-sealed food is immersed in a water bath and cooked at a very precise, consistent temperature. The result? Perfection. Truly. It's actually how many high-end restaurants get their steaks so tender and perfectly cooked. And I love that now I can achieve the same results at home and not worry about screwing up my pricey piece of meat.
It's more simple to achieve five star quality at home than you may think, and it's so easy to achieve using the FoodSaver® System with its vacuum sealing technology It's the best way to keep the food as air tight as possible while cooking in a water bath. I wanted to show you how easy it was so I chose a rather intimidating cut- rack of lamb. The basic breakdown is simple. First you fill your tub of water and insert the sous vide stick, setting the water to temperature to reflect your desired doneness.
While the water begins to heat up, season your lamb with salt and pepper.
Using the FoodSaver® System, it's easy to create the perfect size bag for your specific cut of meat. Simply pull on the roll until you reach your desired size, then with the touch of a single button, seal and cut.
Once you have your bag, slide the cut of meat into the bag and add fresh herbs. Then, again with a single touch, vacuum and seal the bag.
Then you simply put the bag into the tub of water, ensuring it is fully submerged.
After two hours, you remove the lamb from the water, cut open the bag, and pat the meat dry. From there, it's a quick sear in a cast iron pan with some butter and herbs for flavor and then you are ready to serve!
Since sous vide ensure all the juices stay inside the meat, you can skip the resting period that you need with traditional cooking methods.
The FoodSaver® FM5000 2-in-1 Food Preservation System makes it SO easy to pull off a beautiful and impressive holiday dish. We've used this method for a variety of proteins, and it takes all the guess work out of the process leaving us with tender steaks, juicy chicken, and pork that isn't dry (sous vide is an excellent choice for proteins prone to drying out, like pork or duck). Trust me, you're going to knock their socks off!
Preheat a sous vide water bath to desired temperature (based on chart above for how well done you want your lamb to be). Season lamb on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the rack inside a FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Bag. Top with 3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Vacuum and seal the bag. Place bag in the water bath and set a timer for two hours.
After two hours, remove lamb from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat. Once hot (it will be smoking), place the lamb, meaty side down, in the skillet. Use caution, as the oil will be very hot. Add the butter and remaining rosemary and thyme. Baste the lamb with the melted butter and herbs on both sides until browned, 1-2 minutes.
That is quite impressive! Looks delicious!

After graduation from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - The School of Design in 1997 with additional studies at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Cecilie Manz founded her own studio in Copenhagen in 1998.
Here, Cecilie Manz designs furniture, glass, lamps and related products, mainly for the home. In addition to her work with industrial products, her experimental prototypes and more sculptural one-offs make up an important part of her work and approach.
"I view all my works as fragments of one big, ongoing story where the projects are often linked or related in terms of their idea, materials and aesthetics, across time and function. Some objects remain experiments or sculpted ideas, others are made more concrete and turn into functional tools.
The task or project itself often holds the key to inspiration; ideas don't come from waiting but from leg-work, drafting and trials. My work goes from the inside out, and a project has to possess a sound, strong and relevant idea or functional justification before I address the actual physical design. My work has always revolved around simplicity, the process of working toward a pure, aesthetic and narrative object."

[ARCHIVED] Groundbreaking Event Planned for Animal Shelter Expansion
A brief groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of the Pitt County Animal Shelter has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 10:00am, at the Animal Shelter, located at 4550 County Home Road in Greenville. Anticipated to last approximately 15 months, the entire project will encompass three separate phases, and will add 25 cat cages and 15 dog kennels to the existing Shelter. The $1.9M total cost of the project accounts for renovation of existing office space and kennel areas; while also adding an entirely new entrance and parking area that can be accessed separately from the Recycling Collection site the Shelter currently shares its entrance with.
During the recent Animal Services Public Forum, Animal Services Director, Michele Whaley spoke briefly on the effects the expansion will have on the entire layout of the Shelter as a whole. "The Biggest thing I am excited about is that there will be a separate intake and outtake flow" said Whaley, "This will be tremendous in combating disease, and will be more pleasant for families coming to adopt." The groundbreaking ceremony will feature special remarks from Whaley, in addition to the Pitt County Board of Commissioners, the Animal Services Advisory Board, and Animal Services Staff. Burney and Burney Construction, a contractor located in Pitt County, will oversee the building of the Shelter expansion, with ShelterPlanners.com serving as architect and consultant, with oversight of the project.
The groundbreaking ceremony is open to the public, and is expected to be streamed live online at www.PittCountyNC.gov/LIVE for those who cannot attend in person.

This crime thriller set on the Island of Lewis offers plenty of tension, drama and surprises. The Island of Lewis plays a starring role with vivid descriptions of the landscape and a unique insight into what it is like growing up on a Scottish island. If you are planning a trip to the Western Isles and want to know more about them than just the usual tourist information then this is definitely one to get your hands on.
I previously reviewed Hebridies, a beautiful photography book, that introduced me to Peter May's novels. Many of the pictures in this book are related to places that feature in his novels and I was inspired to read The Black House.
Although the crime drama of this book is very gripping it was the descriptions of the island and the story of the main character's childhood that I enjoyed the most. My main motivation for reading the book was to learn a bit more about island life. I have explored these islands by bicycle and visited many of the tourist sites, but this does not always give you much of an idea of what it is actually like to live here.
The book moves between the present day investigation of the murder and the story of Fin Macleod's childhood. This gives you a superb insight into the unique way of life on the islands. In particular, a large part of the book describes the annual guga (gannet) hunt, a strong tradition of the island community. Each year a group of men travel to a remote island, more of a rock, and spend two weeks hunting and processing thousands of gannets. The meat of the birds is a delicacy on the islands. As you can imagine it is a controversial subject and May includes a character who is an animal right's activist in the novel.
Other aspects of island life that feature in the novel include religion, Gaelic, and schooling. Although the book has a lot of dark moments there is also a bit of humour. I loved the part when the young Fin and his school friends steal a tractor tyre from a neighbouring village so that their bonfire will be better than the rival village. This inevitably goes wrong with hilarious consequences.
The book concludes in dramatic fashion and I couldn't put it down until I got to the end.
If you are heading off on a trip to Lewis then this is a great book to take with you as you travel around.

I feel your pain. I had the display up and tested 100 percent a week before show time. I powered everything down for the week. On Friday I powered up the show and everything was fine, or so I thought. I watched the show that night and noticed my arches were not working. Turns out the power supply for that controller took a poop and was only putting out 2.5v. A quick swap and I was back in business. How does that happen? Things like that make me shake my head.
Agreed. Don't cheap out on power supplies. Meanwells are quality and built very nice. I don't trust generic power supplies.
Where are you located in Ontario? I've got 2 Brand new, never used Mean Well LRS-350-12 units in reserve. They are yours if you need them.

TALLAHASSEE- The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is expanding its efforts to restore Silver Springs and Kings Bay by finalizing restoration goals and committing $2.5 million to water quality improvement projects.
"In the last two years, with support from Governor Scott, Senator Charlie Dean and the rest of the Florida Legislature, we will have directed $11.5 million to restoring Florida's springs - more than double the spending in the previous three years," said Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr.
Department research and monitoring led to designating Silver Springs and the Upper Silver River as impaired for nitrates, a form of nutrients that can cause serious algae problems. The Department is now finalizing the Total Maximum Daily Load or, in this case, the maximum acceptable concentration of nitrates, at 0.35 milligrams per liter. This is the same restoration target that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has adopted for springs -- based on the Department's data -- and that has been upheld in both state and federal courts. Meeting the restoration target will protect aquatic life and bring the system back into balance.
A formal management plan to reduce nitrate inputs to meet the total maximum daily load will be developed. Local involvement will be key to identifying the specific actions that area stakeholders will implement to reduce nitrate inputs into the system, along with a schedule for carrying them out.
"Cooperation and partnerships between DEP, the Legislature and public and private stakeholders is the only way our springs will be restored," said Senator Charlie Dean. "I appreciate the Department's efforts as they continue to spend money allocated by the Legislature on meaningful projects to restore our springs."
The Department is not waiting on completion of the management plan to act, however. In July, the Department announced a $1 million investment in wastewater projects identified in concert with Marion County and the St. Johns River Water Management District as critical to restoring area water quality.
The first project will redirect the current discharge from the Silver Springs Regional-Wastewater Treatment Plant, only 1.5 miles from the main boil of Silver Springs, to the Silver Springs Shores Wastewater Treatment Plant, 10 miles from the boil. It will also connect a series of small "package" wastewater treatment plants to the central facility, which will provide better treatment. Implementation of these actions will eliminate more than two tons of nitrates currently going into the Silver Springs system every year.
The Department will invest another $400,000 to take Silver River State Park off septic tanks and hook it to central sewer, reducing nitrates in Silver River and Silver Springs by another 1,370 pounds annually.
On another front, to improve King's Bay, the Department is committing more than $1.1 million to a reuse project for the city of Crystal River. This ongoing project, jointly funded with the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the city, will send 750,000 gallons of reclaimed water from the Crystal River wastewater treatment plant to the Progress Energy Citrus County Power Complex. It will reduce wastewater nutrient loading to the local springshed by 16 percent and increase spring flow in Kings Bay by reducing the need for groundwater pumping at the power complex.
The Department will soon establish nutrient reduction requirements for the Rainbow, Jackson Blue and Weeki Wachee springs systems. Earlier this year, the agency adopted a water quality restoration plan for the spring fed Santa Fe River and is on track to adopt a similar restoration plan for the Wekiva Basin. The Department is also kicking off restoration plans for Wakulla Springs and multiple springs along the Suwannee River this year. The objective is to speed up the pace of restoration, tackling problems with clear solutions immediately and developing plans with local stakeholders to solve longer term goals.

As a young boy, Gert Wright was considered at-risk, and people like Jerry Zaccaria tried to help steer him in the right direction.
"Most of our kids were at-risk for one reason or another, and that's why we tried to provide an alternative to being on the streets and in gangs," said the 69-year-old Zaccaria, a former program director for the Boys and Girls Club of Waynesboro. "We also gave them programs about drug abuse, and covered the whole gamut of topics."
Zaccaria, reached earlier this week by phone, said he remembered Wright, who was about 9 years old when enrolled into an after-school program.
"He was a good kid," Zaccaria said.
But Wright, it now appears, would eventually choose a path that would lead him to violent crime, a prison stint and finally, to being charged as one of six suspects in the death and disappearance of a Waynesboro reserve police captain who was found dead Feb. 6 in Goochland County.
Life as a mentor
Working with at-risk youth can be a tough endeavor, one filled with many hurdles. Those in the field know there won't always be a happy ending, but they remain undeterred despite the frequent setbacks — some of which are permanent.
Through a variety of programs and agencies, and as both a former social worker and guidance counselor in the Augusta County school system for three decades, Jerry Jones, 64, has spent more than 40 years working with children considered to be at-risk.
Last year, two children Jones used to mentor were handed lengthy prison terms. One, now 20 years old, was convicted of murder for shooting a man to death, and was given 40 years behind bars. The other, 16 years old at the time of his offense, was sentenced to life in prison for rape.
"I worked with him," Jones said of the imprisoned teen. "I thought very highly of him. For some reason, he committed this horrible crime."
Jones, though, keeps plugging away. "Essentially, you never give up," he said.
For many of the at-risk youth that Jones has come across, they're battling against a stacked deck from a young age and are pushed toward a life of crime, he said.
"Of course, guns are a really big issue. A lot of these young men are very angry," he said. "A lot of drugs, a lot of guns and a lot of poverty. It's not a good combination."
Jones said the children he deals with are good kids who make bad decisions. "They're going to mess up. That's part of the story," he said. "But you keep hoping that they're going to do better."
Even when one of those children grows into a troubled adult and lands in prison or jail, Jones still won't give up. He recalled one young man who spent 15 months in jail. No friends or family visited the man while he sat behind bars.
"If I hadn't gone and visited him, he wouldn't have had any visitors for 15 months," Jones said.
Another man who Jones once worked with spent 18 years in prison. He too had few visitors during his nearly two decades of incarceration. Jones, though, wouldn't forget about the inmate, who has since been released.
"He's doing very well," said Jones. "He got out, he got a job, he bought a nice car and he's taking classes at the community college. You never know." He added, "You can't judge and you can't give up. Some of them do succeed. Some of them do turn around."
Still, another man has been in and out of jail at least 10 times. "Every time he gets out, I go pick him up and we start over again," Jones said.
Glenn Martin, a former prison warden in Alaska who now does volunteer work for the Office on Youth, where he was once a full-time gang specialist, said statistically it has been shown that prevention programs for at-risk youth have positive results.
"That doesn't always guarantee it will be effective with everyone you work with," he said.
The programs, Martin said, generally promote healthy relationships amongst the children, while trying to get parents involved as well. Still, Martin said it can be "heartbreaking" when they learn a former program participant has committed a crime.
"I've always believed everyone has a talent, something you can tap into," Martin said. "That's what has motivated me to work with younger folks."
Chris Lassiter, a former staff writer at The News Leader and now an urban youth worker with faith-based Young Life, said in an email, "From my perspective, we just hope that the kids we work with that are at-risk get a small jail or prison sentence. When they come home, we pick up right where we left off with those young men. We job hunt, practice interviews, advocate for them at jobs, etc."
Lassiter added, "In short, we want the kids we work with to flourish, but we signed up to walk through life with these people, for better or for worse. They know they have a friend in us."
Charges in Quick case
In 2005, when he was just 14 years old, police arrested Gert Wright on charges of armed robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Charged as an adult and convicted, Wright had the felony charges dismissed after a Waynesboro judge ruled the circuit court never established proper jurisdiction on the gun charge, and that his right to a speedy trial had been violated on the robbery charge.
Within two years, Wright again was in trouble. Records provided by the Virginia Department of Corrections show Norfolk police arrested Wright, still a juvenile, in March 2007 on robbery, gun, gang and conspiracy charges.
After pleading guilty to several felony counts, Wright was sentenced as an adult to seven years behind bars. In March 2011, while still an inmate, he legally changed his name through an order in Sussex County Circuit Court, the DOC said. The 22-year-old now is known as Halisi Uhuru.
Released from prison in December, police arrested Uhuru two months later in connection with the death and disappearance of Kevin W. Quick, 45, a Rockfish man last seen leaving his mother's Afton home the night of Jan. 31.
Quick, part of the Waynesboro Police Auxiliary Unit since 1990 and a captain in the unit upon his death, was on his way to visit his Albemarle County girlfriend, also the mother of his 4-month-old daughter. Authorities discovered his body Feb. 6 in a wooded area on the edge of Goochland County near Fluvanna County.
Although nobody has been charged directly with Quick's death, six suspects are being held on various charges connected to the probe, including Uhuru, who is being held at the Henrico County Jail on a a felony count of gang participation.
"I remember Gert for two reasons, actually," Zaccaria said. "He had an unusual name, but more importantly he was a good little guy … he was always cooperative and pleasant."
Zaccaria said it was devastating to learn that the child he once worked with is now being implicated in connection with a police officer's death.
"The influences on the streets are pretty strong," he said.

Charles Saatchi legal case 'to reveal truth about reason for divorce' from Nigella Lawson
Charles Saatchi sends legal letter to lawyers acting for Nigella Lawson containing claims about her behaviour

By Gordon Rayner, Chief Reporter
7:00AM BST 26 Oct 2013
Charles Saatchi has threatened legal proceedings against his ex-wife Nigella Lawson in a case which could lift the lid on what he says are the reasons for their divorce.
Sources close to Mr Saatchi say "the truth" about the couple's infamous bust-up at a London restaurant, which led to their separation, has yet to emerge, and that it will "paint the incident in an entirely different light" when it does.
A letter sent to Miss Lawson's solicitors by lawyers acting for Mr Saatchi makes a series of allegations about the TV cook's behaviour.
It is understood that Mr Saatchi could issue a writ against his ex-wife in the High Court as early as next week.
Mr Saatchi, who accepted a caution for assault after he was photographed with his hand around his wife's throat, is said to be "determined" that the reason they were arguing becomes public.

A source close to Mr Saatchi said: "Charles has been portrayed as the villain in all of this but there is far more to it than meets the eye.
"Nigella has not given her version of what caused the argument and her silence speaks volumes.
"When she and Charles got together following the death of her first husband John Diamond, she gave him certain assurances and on the day they argued in the restaurant he found out she had not stuck to those assurances.
"Since then information has come to light that Charles sees as confirming the reason he was upset with Nigella in the restaurant."
The nature of that information is set out in a legal letter sent by Mr Saatchi's solicitors Rollingsons to Miss Lawson's solicitors, BCL Burton Copeland, earlier this month.
The Daily Telegraph has been made aware of the contents of the letter, which was sent on Oct 17.
The solicitor to whom it was addressed said last night: "It would be inappropriate for me to comment."
When Mr Saatchi accepted a police caution for assault in June he said he had agreed to the police action because it was preferable to being investigated by the police for weeks.
But he did not apologise for grabbing his wife by the throat and tweaking her nose in the couple's favourite restaurant, Scott's, in Mayfair.
The couple ended their 10-year marriage on July 31 in a hearing that lasted just 70 seconds, and which neither of them attended.
Miss Lawson, 53, petitioned for divorce on the grounds of 70-year-old Mr Saatchi's "unreasonable behaviour" and on the grounds that the marriage had "irretrievably broken down".
Neither party made financial claims on the other, and Miss Lawson moved out of the family home the day after the row in Scott's.
Mr Saatchi has since been photographed holding hands with a new female companion at the same restaurant.

T. John Ward (born 1943) is a retired United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
He is best known for the large number of patent infringement cases brought before his court in Marshall, Texas.

Education and career

T. John Ward was born in 1943 in Bonham, Texas. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1964 from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor of Laws in 1967 from the Baylor Law School. He was in private practice as a malpractice and product liability lawyer from 1968 through 1999.

Federal judicial service

Ward was nominated to the district by President Bill Clinton on January 26, 1999, confirmed by the United States Senate on July 13, 1999, received his commission on July 15, 1999
and joined the bench in September 1999. His service terminated on October 1, 2011 due to retirement.

Civic activities

Ward served on the board of trustees of the Good Shepherd Medical Center from 1987 to 1991 and 1994 to 1999, and was on the board of directors of the Good Shepherd Foundation from 1986 to 1988 and 1994 to 1997. He was on the advisory board of the East Texas Literacy Council from 1987 to 1991.

Honors

In 2004, Ward was honored by Baylor Law School as its Baylor Lawyer of the Year, an award given annually to an outstanding alumnus who has brought honor and distinction to Baylor Law School and the legal profession. In 2009, Ward was named the Trial Judge of the Year by the Texas Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

Patent infringement cases

Ward has been described as a "plain-talking Texan"  who maintains a "folksy demeanor" and a "fiery temper". He enjoys patent cases, citing their intellectual challenge. Ward was credited as having a solid knowledge of patent law and a dedication to efficiency. Attorney Willem Schurrman has described Ward as being well-prepared and well-versed in the cases he hears. He became interested in patent law while defending Hyundai Electronics against a lawsuit by Texas Instruments. Hyundai lost and Texas Instruments was awarded $25.2 million in 1999. Since Ward initially joined the Eastern District of Texas, the district has seen a tenfold increase in cases since 1999. There were 14 patent cases in 1999, 32 in 2002, 155 in 2005, and 234 in 2006. And, in 2013, 1,495 patent cases were filed. The Eastern District of Texas is one of eight with more than 100 new patent filings each year. Ward heard more than 160 patent cases in his first seven years on the bench. He had been handling 90% of the patent cases in Marshall, but later was reduced to 60%. Patent cases presented before Ward were more frequently won by the patent holder plaintiff than the defense. One source claims that patent holders win 88% of the time in Ward's court, compared to an average of 68% nationwide. Another source claims that patent cases in Marshall are won by patent holders 78% of the time versus 59% nationwide. And a third source claims that in 90% of cases patent holders win jury verdicts. Between taking the bench in 1999 and June 2006, Ward was overturned in only one patent case. Ward believes the problem of patent trolls is overstated and that his record of being overturned only once supports this view. Ward has been described as pushing cases through quickly. His court had been described as a "rocket docket" for its speed. To speed things up, Ward adopted a set of rules covering both litigation and trial activities.  Ward's rules were based on rules from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

His litigation rules included early disclosure of positions, establishment of firm case deadlines, and sanctions for parties abusing the discovery process. Attorney Alan Fisch says that the "jurisdiction has a tailored set of rules for patent cases that streamline certain of the pretrial proceedings — generally this benefits both plaintiff and defendant." Lawyers who do not move quickly enough are sanctioned. Ward credits his rules and resulting speed with causing the increase in patent suits filed in the district. Fast cases reduce expenses for financially strapped plaintiff patent holders. Attorney Henry Bunsow claims that the fast cases can "cut legal fees in half."

His trial rules included strict timetables and the use of a chess clock to time opening and closing arguments. Each side in a case might receive between 9 and 15 hours for evidence, compared to other courts where it might take a month or more. Defendants have incentive to settle rather than risk larger expenses.

There are claims that the juries in Marshall are plaintiff-friendly. There is disagreement about the court's patent-friendliness. Charles Baker and Daniel Perez, attorneys who have both defended against patent suits in Ward's court, describe the court as "fair." Ward has described the district as historically "plaintiffs-oriented," and has described the Marshall jury pool as "defenders of property rights" and "friendly to patent owners' interests." Some claim that plaintiffs often have an advantage because they hire Marshall lawyers more likely to know the jurors and benefit from that information.

T. John "Johnny" Ward, Jr.

T. John Ward's son, T. John "Johnny" Ward, Jr. is an attorney who is frequently called on to litigate patent cases in the Eastern District of Texas.

Both T. John and T. "Johnny" Ward, and their connection are briefly mentioned in the 2017 feature-length documentary The Patent Scam produced by Austin Meyer (author of the X-Plane (simulator)).

Q: Dressing gown vs housecoat As far as I can tell they refer to the same thing (bathrobe).
I'd like to know the roots of both, and if possible the history of their evolution. Specifically if the usage is influenced by social class, if possible?
EDIT:
From OED:
housecoat: A woman's long, loose, lightweight robe for informal wear around the house.
dressing gown: A long, loose robe, typically worn after getting out of bed or bathing.
However I have mostly heard this used interchangeably.

A: Yes, a dressing gown is just what you wear over your pyjamas or nightie to keep warm, and to be more modest in the house. It is not the least bit "snooty". English and Australian people are very familiar with dressing gowns. A bath robe is an American term, but probably for the same kind of thing. I have had dressing gowns that do up with a tie, and ones with buttons, too. I have had terry towelling, silky, and woollen dressing gowns. As for house coat, I am not sure, but I think it is/was for ladies to wear mostly around the home during the day, not of a heavy material because it was a coat for inside the house! Another item to be considered is the bed jacket: shorter in length, lighter in material, and often worn while sitting up in bed reading, or if you were sick.
P.S. House coats were also apparently called "dusters".

A: Housecoat usually has buttons or zip to wear over your nightwear during the day
Dressing gown usually tied round your waist with a belt to use before bed or after bathin

A: UK. A housecoat is (or was) a sleeveless wrap-over style lightweight garment usually with a floral print worn by housewives to do cleaning and washing chores. It is by no-means confined to a "class" but is probably more identified with the working class. Hilda Ogden, a character from the Soap Coronation Street was hardly ever seen without one. As the tendency for 'housewives' to go to work increased, so the use of housecoats died out, rarely to be seen today.

A: ETA:  In case it wasn't clear and not sure it matters: I'm a 60ish old lady, lol. I just read this again after reading a comment and realized that name might be ambiguous, too, regardless of the "i" ending. The dressing gowns I wear aren't fluffy, lazy ephemera.  Mine are made of materials like vintage men's, but in a feminine cut/style. Silk, satin, rayon, even polyester and all are lined for warmth.
I love wearing dressing gowns and I'd love for the beautiful ones to make a comeback in fashion. I've been buying vintage and sewing my own. Men wore dressing gown, too. Watch old movies and see men wearing dressing gowns after coming home and taking off suit coat. You'll see them wearing shirts, ties, pants and shoes (or slippers sometimes).
Comfort and style without changing completely out of your "street clothes". Same goes for women (me) get home, take off office wear and put on dressing gown for comfort. They're modest enough to answer the door, but comfortable and relaxed without being sloppy. Even the most expensive bathrobes look like a bath robes.  I wear them around the house in cold weather. I wear leggings and tops and the house gets cool and I don't want to bundle up or wear a coat or bathrobe, so my dressing GOWNS are perfect! Men in dressing gowns: fictional characters Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, actors prissy Clifton Webb, suave David Niven, sexy, elegant and manly William Powell, Cary Grant - seriously, check out old movies. The men even wore them after taking off tux jackets.  In now way, shape or form does a bathrobe equate to a dressing gown for either men or women.
Women, wear a dressing gown after putting on your underwear and stockings to keep warm and feel pretty while putting on makeup/hair and before putting on outer street clothes.
Men or women get home from work, take off street clothes, but leave on undergarments, put on dressing gown, eat dinner, have drink (whatever) then get dressed for evening festivities inside or going out again.
A dressing gown is not what I wear to clean protect my clothes while cleaning the house, that would be a housecoat or housedress if I wore one.

Q: Custom post type/taxonomy URL structure I've had a quick scan through similar questions, but most don't seem to answer my question really.
I have a custom post type called, Products. Within there, I have taxonomies such as Room Type, Furniture Type, Material etc etc.
The site requires a really specific url structure to adhere to it's SEO strategy.
At the moment, i'm getting something like this:
/room-type/handles/bathroom
/room-type/handles/kitchen
/room-type/handles/modern

I need to remove Room Type, essentially. I have tried setting "with_front" to false when registering the taxonomy, to no success.
Below is my current code, any help hugely appreciated.
register_taxonomy(

    'room-type',
    'products',

    array(

        'label' => __( 'Room Type' ),
        'rewrite' => array(

            'slug' => 'room-type',
            'with_front' => true,
            'hierarchical' => true,

        ),

        'hierarchical' => true,

    )

);

UPDATE
So I did a little digging and found this page: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/5413/need-help-with-add-rewrite-rule
...and this is the code I have ended up with - which at the moment appears to be the closest thing I have come up with yet:
function sb_rewrites() {

    add_rewrite_rule( 'handles/([^/]+)/?', 'index.php?room-type=$matches[1]', 'top' );

}

add_action( 'init', 'sb_rewrites', 10, 0 );

function strip_room_type( $link, $term, $taxonomy ){

    if ( $taxonomy !== 'room-type' )

        return $link;

    return str_replace( 'room-type/', '', $link );

}

add_filter( 'term_link', 'strip_room_type', 10, 3 );

Thanks!

A: As I understand your question, I'm not sure there's a perfect way to remove that taxonomy slug. WordPress needs to know what sub taxonomy you're asking for in the URL, so it needs some sort of identifier. However, it appears there may be a work around in an answer to a similar question:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/21076/remove-taxonomy-base-or-term-from-url
Essentially, defining verbose rewrite rules to 'force' the term out. But this can cause problems, which are better explained in the accepted answer here:

I used Pink Argentine shrimps in this recipe. They're a deep-water shrimp caught wild in the Western South Atlanta area. Most important, pink Argentine shrimps are wonderfully sweet and tender. Some descriptions suggests that shells are thicker but I didn't find that to be so for the ones I had bought--and I've bought them several times already this year.
To support the sweetness of the pink Argentine shrimps, I added a sweet Vidalia onion and red hot cherry peppers. These peppers are really very mild in heat.
I have tried jalapeno peppers, even pepper jack cheese. The jalapeno was very nice with Monterey Jack. But I would not recommend pepper jack cheese. I found the flavor just too harsh for the delicate sweet taste of the pink Argentine shrimps.
Pink Argentine shrimps will turn the butter or any liquid pink. If you decide to steam them rather than sauteing them in butter, don't be alarmed if the water turns pink.
In the second image, I try to show the layered quesadilla with shrimps on the bottom, then the Vidalia onions and finally lots of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
6 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, roughly shredded. Set aside 1-2 ounces for garnish. Divide remaining cheese into two halves.
1. Clean shrimps and remove tails but leave tails on for 8 of them. These will be used as garnish. Sautee Vidalia onions in 1 Tablespoon of butter until soft and translucent, approximately 2 minutes. Set onions aside in a plate and divide into two halves.
2. Melt 1 Tablespoon in the skillet. Add shrimps, garlic and hot red cherry peppers. Cook shrimps on medium high heat for 2 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 minute. Transfer shrimps to a plate and be sure to toss with the garlic and red hot cherry peppers. With exception of shrimps that have the tails on, cut the tailless shrimps into thirds and fourths depending on the length of the shrimp. Divide mixture into 2 halves.
3. If using one skillet, quickly wash it out and return to heat. Melt butter in the skillet. Add one tortilla. Gently move it around in the skillet to make sure the buttered side is completely covered. While the buttered side is browning, spread the chopped shrimps on one half of the tortilla. Layer one half of the Vidalia onions over the shrimp. Layer one half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the onions.
4. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the layers of shrimp, onions and cheese. Only to continue cooking just for a few seconds, until cheese has melted. DO NOT TURN OVER THE QUESADILLA. It may fall apart and you will have a mess!
5. Transfer the quesadilla to your serving plate and cut in half. Top each half with two of the shrimps that have the tails on. Complete the garnishing with the remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
You'll love the extra bites of shrimps and cheese!


8.11.2017// Biometric checks by a fingerprint-scanner are becoming increasingly more important for modern security measures. Alongside the biometric access control for smartphones, tablets and payment systems, such as PayPal, the importance of access control for high security buildings and rooms is also increasing. Furthermore, as of this past November, German passports are equipped with two additional fingerprints that are saved onto their embedded microprocessor chip.
Paralleling the rising importance of this technology, criminals are increasingly focused on exploiting their weaknesses. Scientists and hackers have proven that fingerprint scanners are not safe when targeted with the right method, usually involving the application of a well tailored artefact. For example, in January the Japanese National Institute of Informatics scientist Isao Echizen managed to completely reconstruct the fingerprints found on a high-resolution photo that was taken from a range of three meters.
According to the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) currently used fingerprint scanning technology is proven to be vulnerable to skin transplants, stickers with an imprint of another person's fingerprint and the surgical removal of the visible skin ridges. Taking this into consideration, new approaches are required for authenticating one's identity in a safer and more reliable manner.
A method that promises just that is based on a well-established medical imaging technique that is referred to as optical coherence tomography (OCT). In contrast to currently used scanning systems, OCT is not only able to create a digital representation of the fingerprints visible ridges and valleys, but also delivers additional biometric information from beneath the topmost skin layer. Thus, OCT has the ability to picture internal structures such as sweat-pores, allowing for the indication of attack-revealing mismatches between the outer skin layers Epidermis and Dermis. The resulting "internal fingerprint" works as a source template for the outer fingerprint. In addition to this, OCT-Scanners could possibly be used to measure blood flow by taking a sequence of images, enabling the detection of counterfeits and dead tissue.
Project 3D-Finger is a scientific project headed by the Institute of Safety and Security Research at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Germany. Its primary goal is the creation of a virtually unspoofable fingerprint-scanner utilizing the additional biometric data that OCT-Scanners can provide. The project is lead by Prof. Norbert Jung: "It is not a matter of catching criminals, but of enabling authorities or individuals with corresponding needs to ensure secure authentication, for example in restricted areas." The reason for this rather exclusive target group is that OCT-Scanning-Technology is still very expensive and creates vast amounts of data. A full-area scan of a fingerprint can create up to eight gigabytes of raw data, making not only the process of scanning, which by itself can last up to several seconds, but also subsequent signal processing a slow procedure. Consequently this technology will likely not be available to the general public in the near future.
Being too expensive and slow for general use, OCT-Scanning technology is limited when it comes to it's application possibilities. According to the Institute of Safety and Security Research employee Alexander Kirfel, OCT-Scanning will likely be used within so called Kiosk-Systems — fully automated systems — that enable users to enroll and authenticate themself in the absence of a human supervisor. For example, these systems could be used at airport terminals.
Another possible application is the prevention of infant abduction within hospitals. With current technology, it is not possible to retrieve good quality fingerprints from infants, since their skin structure is not developed enough. Thus, there is no secure biometric way of tracking them. OCT-Scanning could solve this by delivering the additional biometric information of the deeper and more developed structures.
Just as with every other type of biometric data, both internal and outer fingerprints would be classified as personal data within the European-Data-Protection-Basic-Regulation (EU-DSGVO). This means the processing of fingerprints is forbidden unless the affected person has explicitly agreed to it, or the processing is necessary in order to perform for social or working rights.
