I'm glad to see another of my compadres from New Mexico on the list!
Hey, I'll add in below one of my megalists of things to see and do in New Mexico. Mainly use these elsewhere, but I figure they'll work here, too. (So somebody explain why I'm sitting in a cold, snowy place when I could be out exploring this stuff! Or why I spend the evening in the cold garage repairing our snow plowing tractor last night? Or why I don't just retire?)
Things to see and do in northern New Mexico (with a few longer descriptions):

Albuquerque is a city with a long history. There is evidence that as long as 25,000 years ago, people inhabited this area. Some scientists have estimated the date to be 10,000 years ago. In any case, the area has an old heritage. The Anasazi Indians lived here from 1100 to 1300 A.D. In 1540, the Spanish explorer, Francisco Vasques do Coronado arrived from Mexico. After Coronado left, more Spanish settlers moved here. By the 1600's, the area was called: "Bosque Grande de San Francisco Xavier" (A bosque is a forest on the banks of a river or body of water or possibly an area of thick vegetation). In 1706, Don Francisco Cuervo y Valdez asked the Spanish government for permission to establish a villa here. There must be 30 families to do so. There were only 18 at this time, but Cuervo, who was at the time the provisional governor of the territory, knew the plan would help his future. Cuervo planned to name the villa, Alburquerque, after the viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, the Duke of Alburquerque. His application was accepted and the city of Alburquerque was formed. The first "r" was dropped from the name supposedly when a sign painter omitted it because he couldn't spell it or just didn't have enough room. There is another theory about the latin spelling of Albuquerque, which means white oak.

http://www.santafechamber.com/about_...n_santa_fe.htm
Indians have lived here for over 1,000 years! Santa Fe is the second oldest city in the United States. Don Pedro de Paralta was appointed Governor and Capitan General of New Mexico by the Viceroy of New Spain on 30 March 1609. He was to go to New Mexico with other soldiers and priests and to found the Villa of Santa Fe.
New Mexico was brought into the United States in 1846. At that time, the Catholic Church sent Archbishop John Lamy to reorganize the religious practices of the territory. Religion continues to play a large part in the Santa Fe area. The original name for the city was "La Villa de la Santa Fe San Francisco de Assisi," or in english, "The Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi."
Santa Fe has been the capital under four different flags since 1610: Spain, Mexico, the U.S. Confederacy and the United States. The influence of many different cultures can especially be seen in the architecture. The adobe is from the Moors. The eastern styles and materials from the Anglos. There are many old, historic buildings in Santa Fe, such as the Miraculous Winding Staircase at the Loretto Chapel or the San Miguel Mission - the oldest church in the United States. Santa Fe has also become a cultural center for the region. The Santa Fe Fiesta has been celebrated
since 1769. It remains a center for craftsmen and artisans to this day.

There is evidence that man has lived in the Taos area as far back as 3,000 B.C. Prehistoric ruins dating from 900 A.D. can be seen throughout the Taos Valley. The Pueblo of Taos remains the link from these early inhabitants of the valley to the still-living native culture.
The first Europeans to appear in Taos valley were led by Captain Alvarado, who was exploring the area for the Coronado expedition of 1540. Don Juan de Onate, official colonizer of the province of Nuevo Mexico, came to Taos in July 1598. In September of that year he assigned Fray Francisco de Zamora to serve the Taos and Picuris Pueblos.
Long established trading networks at Taos Pueblo, plus its mission and the abundant water and timber of the valley, attracted early Spanish settlers.
Life was not easy for the newcomers, and there were several conflicts with Taos Pueblo before the Pueblo revolt of 1680 in which all Spaniards and their priests were either killed or driven from the province. In 1692 Don Diego de Vargas made a successful military reconquest of New Mexico and in 1693 he returned to recolonize the province. In 1694 he raided Taos Pueblo when it refused to provide corn for his starving settlers in Santa Fe.
Taos Pueblo revolted again in 1696, and De Vargas came for the third time to put down the rebellion. Thereafter, Taos and most of the other Rio Grande Pueblos remained allies of Spain and later of Mexico when it won its independence in 1821. During this long period the famous Taos Trade Fairs grew in importance so that even the annual caravan to Chihuahua delayed its departure until after the Taos Fair, which was held in July or August. The first French traders, led by the Mallette brothers, attended the Taos Fair in 1739.
By 1760, the population of Taos valley had decreased because of the fierce attacks by Plains Indians. Many times the Spanish settlers had to move into houses at Taos Pueblo for protection from these raiders. In 1779, Colonel de Anza returned through Taos from Colorado, where he had decisively defeated the Comanches led by Cuerno Verde. De Anza named the Sangre de Cristo Pass, northeast of present Fort Garland, and also named the road south from Taos to Santa Fe through Miranda Canyon as part of "El Camino Real". In 1796 - 97, the Don Fernando de Taos grant was given to 63 Spanish families.
By the early 1800's, Taos had become the headquarters for many of the famous mountain men who trapped beaver in the neighboring mountains. Among them was Kit Carson, who made his home in Taos from 1826 to 1868. In July 1826 Padre Antonio Jose Martinez began serving the Taos parish. He opened his school in Taos in 1833 and published textbooks for it in 1834. He printed "El Crepusculo", a weekly newspaper in 1835, and was prominent in territorial matters during the Mexican and early United States periods in New Mexico.
After Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, the Santa Fe Trail became the important route for trade between the United States and Mexico. A branch of the trail came to Taos to supply its trading needs.From 1821 to 1846, the Mexican government made numerous land grants to help settle new sections of New Mexico. During the war with Mexico in 1846, General Stephen Kearney and his U.S. troops occupied the province of New Mexico. Taos rebelled against the new wave of invaders and in 1847 killed the newly appointed Governor Charles Bent, in his Taos home. In 1850 the province, which then included Arizona, officially became the territory of New Mexico of the United States.
During the civil war, the confederate army flew its flag for six weeks over Santa Fe. It was just prior to this time that Kit Carson, Smith Simpson, Ceran St. Vrain and others put up the American flag over Taos Plaza and guarded it. Since then, Taos has had the honor of flying the flag day and night.The discovery of gold in the Moreno valley in 1866 and later in the mountains near Taos brought many new people to the area. Twining and Red River, once mining towns, are now prominent ski resorts. The Carson National Forest contains forested lands in the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountain Ranges. It was created from the Pecos River Forest Reserve of 1892, the Taos Forest Reserve of 1906, and part of the Jemez National Forest of 1905.
A narrow gauge railroad, the Denver and Rio Grande Western, was built from Alamosa, Colorado, to within 25 miles southwest of Taos in 1880. In later years it was nicknamed the Chili Line. It eventually connected with Santa Fe. A surrey and four horses joggled passengers from the station to Taos. During World War II, the train was discontinued; Embudo Station on the Rio Grande is all that is left of it today.
The next invasion began in 1898, when two eastern artists came to Taos and depicted on canvas the dramatic mountains and unique peoples. By 1912, the Taos Society of Artists was formed by these and other artists who had been attracted to the area. New Mexico became a state in 1912 as well. World Wars I and II came and went, and members of the three cultures of Taos -- Indian, Spanish and Anglo -- fought and died
together for their country.

Shiprock. More just to see than to visit; you'll be able to see it from all over the northwest corner of the state. (In earlier times, prior to air pollution, you could see it from the top of Sandia Peak and from some places at Mesa Verde, that is, from much further away. Now that happens only on particularly clear days.)

Chiming in from Las Cruces! Currently bunking at Sunny Acres RV Park, waiting on a job, while we negotiate for a house nearby. We lived in ABQ for a couple years in the 1990s, and couldn't wait to come back to this amazing state. We're WBCCI members-at-large, but I guess soon it will be time to choose a region!

Maya Moore Drops 48 Points on Dream
Lauren Shute | July 24th 2014, 10:08 am
Earlier this week, Maya Moore took time out of her very busy July schedule to score 48 points — the second most in WNBA history.
On Tuesday night, Moore led her Minnesota Lynx in a double-overtime win against the Atlanta Dream, 112-108. Moore made 16 of 30 attempts and went 7-9 from the three-point line. Her huge night gave her the second highest points total in league history, behind Riquna Williams' 51 points last season for the Tulsa Shock. (Moore's stat line also included 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one block.)
Her mindset was simple: "If it's my shot and I'm open, shoot the ball," Moore said. "If it's not, pass to an open teammate."
She started the night passing to teammates. One of Moore's first assists was delivered to teammate Rebekkah Brunson. Despite missing the first 23 games of the WNBA season, Brunson ended the night with 17 points and 12 rebounds in her first game back from knee surgery.
Moore's career high came days after she was named Best WNBA Player at the ESPY Awards and appeared in her third All-Star game in four seasons. In the All-Star game in Phoenix, she scored 24 points for the West in the first-ever WNBA All-Star Game to go to OT.
This isn't just a streak of high-scoring games. Moore leads the league in scoring this season with 25.1 points per game. In 10 contests this year, she has scored 30 or more points, which ties a league record with 10 more games still to go in the 2014 season.
Moore has a reputation as one of the best players in the league. But even more remarkable is her consistent performance. Moore had the Dream's full attention throughout the game, according to Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve.
"That's what's impressive," Reeve said. "They're not trying to let her drop 48 points on their heads."
But she did it anyway. And even after putting up career-best numbers, Moore looked at her performance as if it were any other day on the court.
"Sometimes they go in," she said. "And sometimes they don't."

Shopify Interns Share Their Tips for Success
by Kristen Shi
At Shopify, we pride ourselves on our people. Shopifolk come from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences — our interns are no exception. So, we gathered some of our current and past interns to chat with them about their careers so far. They share insights about work, education, and tips for interviewing and succeeding at Shopify.
Natalie Dunbar (Backend Developer Intern, Marketing Technology)
Office: Toronto
Education: University of Toronto
Get to know Natalie:
Studied as a philosophy major for three years, then switched to Computer Science
Former camp counselor and sailing instructor
Best tip when stuck on a problem? Pair programming.
What does your day-to-day look like?
Once I get to work I immediately open GitHub and Slack. Our team does a daily stand-up through Slack to review our tasks from yesterday and today. My morning is usually responding to PR comments, Slack messages, and working on my assigned tasks. After lunch, I work on projects and usually try to merge my work from earlier in the afternoon to monitor it in production. Finally, before I leave I try to update my PRs so that our team in San Francisco can view them before the end of their day.
What do you feel was the hardest part of your interview?
I've done many technical interviews before, and the "Life Story" step in the Shopify interview process is unique from other companies. I was unsure what to expect. Looking back, I realize it's not something to worry about because it's an incredibly comfortable conversation with your recruiter that gave them the knowledge to place me on a team that was the best possible fit.
Dream career if you weren't working in tech?
Philosophy professor (specializing in either logic, philosophy of language, or continental philosophy).
Best piece of advice you've ever gotten?
Always be open with your mentor/lead. They want to make your internship experience great so always help them do this for you. This means both requesting and giving feedback frequently.
What are your tips for future Shopify applicants?
Be yourself! And if you are applying for a role that requires a personal project, show one that is targeted at what you're interested in working on. I made a completely new project over the few days before my internship, which is in no way necessary, and my interviewer (and now lead) was able to determine my technical fit from that.
Gurpreet Gill (Developer Intern, Products)
Office: Ottawa
Education: University of Waterloo
Get to know Gurpreet:
No experience of technical stack used at Shopify when hired
Can move ears on command
Best tip when stuck on a problem? Take a break.
I'm usually in the office by 8:30, and I try not to miss breakfast. I typically avoid coding in the morning. Instead, I review and address feedback on my PRs; read emails; and catch up on work. My team and I head to lunch, then I start coding in the afternoon. I like taking a coffee break in the afternoon at Cody's Cafe (yes, Ottawa has its own cafe) and make myself a latte with terrible latte art. I also like to play ping-pong as a break!
Dream career if you weren't in tech?
A chef, or police officer.
Asking for help is okay - it doesn't make you look weaker, and it's never too late to reach out for it.
I believe Shopify is a unique company. Having "people skills" is as important as having technical skills here. So just be yourself during interviews. Don't pretend to be someone you are not. Be passionate about what you do. Ask questions, don't be afraid to crack jokes, and be ready to meet some dope people.
Joyce Lee (Solutions Engineering Intern, Shopify Plus)
Office: Waterloo
Education: University of Western Ontario
Get to know Joyce:
Started interning at Shopify in September 2017
Spent 8 months at Shopify in a sales-focused role, but will spend next 4 in a technical one
Once tried to sell composting worms online, but inventory sourcing and fulfilment ended up being really complicated.
What's your day to day like?
Grab a bottle of cold-pressed juice, then go to a full day of meetings selling Shopify Plus to prospective merchants. On days with fewer meetings, I'm building proofs-of-concept for merchants, and working on small projects to level up the revenue organization.
The hardest part of your interview?
I had a slightly different technical interview than other engineers. I was given a business problem and asked to propose a technical solution for it. Then explain it twice to two different audiences: a CEO and a developer.
Any tips for future Shopify applicants?
Complete every part of the application. For interns, it's typically quite long so start early, but the application actually helps you know Shopify better, which is a great experience. Shopify is worth the long application process, trust me.
How do you succeed within Shopify?
Ask dumb questions, and ask them quickly. The more you ask, the less dumb they'll get.
Yash Mathur (Developer Intern, Shopify Exchange)
Get to know Yash:
Has done two work terms with Shopify
Demoed an Android app when interviewing for a front-end developer role at Shopify (Spoiler alert: it all worked out!)
Favourite language is C++ but has learned to love Ruby for its simplicity (and because Shopify has great Ruby on Rails developers to learn from!)
I come in to the office around 10am. I prefer that because I like to spend my mornings running or swimming, and the rest of my team usually comes in around then too. I start off the day by grabbing breakfast and going through emails and messages. Our team does a daily stand-up where we review what we'll be working on that day. Then, I like to grab lunch with my team or the other interns. Each day is a mix of coding and meetings to discuss projects or pair-programming. During my breaks, I love playing FIFA or ping pong with others.
Astronaut.
Shopify looks for people who are passionate and willing to expand their skill set. Make sure you bring that point across each phase of the interview.
Take initiative. Shopify has a startup culture - people won't tell you what to do, so you have to look for ways to contribute and be valuable. Also, talk to people outside your team. It's important to understand how your team fits within the rest of the company.
Jenna Blumenthal (Developer, Channels Apps)
Education: McGill University
Get to know Jenna:
Former Shopify intern
Started as an intern in January 2017, and was hired full-time in May 2017
Studied Physics and Physiology in undergrad, later completing a master's degree in Industrial Engineering
What's your day-to-day look like?
Most of the day is spent working on net-new code that will contribute to whatever feature or project we are building. The rest is spent on reviewing other team member's code, investigating bugs that come in through support and pairing with others (devs or not) on issues.
Play up your non-traditional background. Whoever you meet with, explain why your experiences have shaped the person you are and the way you work. Shopify thrives on people with diverse skills and opinions.
One of the core tenets you hear a lot at Shopify is, "strong opinions, weakly held." Don't think that because you're just an intern, or new, that you don't have a valuable opinion. Sometimes fresh eyes see the root of a problem the fastest. Be confident, but also be willing to drive consensus even if it doesn't turn out your way.
Jack McCracken (Developer Intern, Application Security)
Education: Carleton University
Get to know Jack:
Has a red-belt-black-stripe in Taekwondo. Almost a black belt!
Sells snacks and drinks to students at Carleton using Shopify's POS system
Has worked at Shopify consistently since May 2015 and as of April 2018 is now full time...that's six internships!
The hardest part of my interview was admitting what I didn't know. When I got to my second interview, I was so nervous that I completely blanked! After a while of trying to graciously "fake it till I made it, "I worked up the courage to tell the person I was interviewing with that I totally had no idea. That was hard, but I still believe it got me the job to this day.
If I wasn't working in tech, I like to think I'd be an author. I love writing stories and explaining complex things to people.
If you ask a question that saves you an hour of hard work and takes the person you're asking 5 minutes to explain, you just saved your company 55 minutes in development time.
How do you succeed at Shopify?
Succeeding at Shopify is slightly different than your average tech company. It's very self-driven, so you need to ask questions. It's hard to succeed (actually pretty much impossible) in a large organization without any context, and it's much easier to learn by talking to your team lead, a mentor, or some random person you found on Slack than to laboriously read through code or wiki pages.
Ariel Scott-Dicker (iOS Developer, Mobile Foundations)
Education: Flatiron School
Get to know Ariel:
Was doing a degree in Cultural Anthropology, with a minor in Music. He didn't finish the university degree but did a software development bootcamp and developer internship, before coming to Shopify
Never wrote in Swift before coming to Shopify. Now, it's his favourite programming language!
What's your day-to-day like?
We release new versions and updates to our iOS app every three weeks. This makes our day-to-day consist of working our way through various tasks that we've designated for the current three week period. Sometimes for me, that's one large task or several smaller ones.
I didn't progress past Life Story the first time. I think it was because I didn't relate the course of my life thus far to how I could be successful at Shopify. Other than that, the hardest part (which I thought was really fun) was solving conceptual problems verbally, not through coding terms.
During your interview, be yourself, stay calm and confident, and breathe. Make sure whatever you mention speaks for itself, and that it demonstrates how you can succeed at and contribute to Shopify.
Dream career if not in tech?
Working in a big cat sanctuary or experimental agriculture.
For me, a huge tip for succeeding at Shopify is being selfish with your education and development. This means, asking questions, using the smart people around you as resources, and taking the time to understand something practically or theoretically.
A huge thanks to our Winter 2018 interns for all they have contributed this term. We're so proud of the work you've done and can't wait to see what's next for all of you! Think you can see yourself as one of our interns? We're currently hiring for the Fall 2018 term. Find the application at shopify.com/careers/interns and make sure you apply before the deadline on May 11, 2018 at 9:00 AM EST.

Q: Linux Drag and Drop Files From Windows 10 to Virtual Box Linux I am trying to drag and drop files from Windows 10 to Virtual Box Linux.
At the top of the virtual machine in the menus I clicked devices drag and drop and then bidirectional
It shows the drop not allowed logo when trying to do it.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this working?

A: You need to install Ubuntu Guest Addittions to have this feature. To do this I suggest you to do it trought aptitud. It's way easier than using the image provided by Virtual Box, which  has proven to be troublesome.

A: Drag and Drop -
Oracle VM VirtualBox enables you to drag and drop content from the host to the guest, and viceversa. For this to work the latest version of the Guest Additions must be installed on the guest. Drag and drop transparently allows copying or opening files,  directories,  and even certain clipboard formats from one end to the other. For example, from the host to the guest or from the guest to the host.  You then can perform drag and drop operations between the host and a VM, as it would be a native drag and drop operation on the host OS. At the moment drag and drop is implemented for Windows-based and X-Windows-based sys-tems, both on the host and guest side.  As X-Windows supports many different drag and drop protocols only the most common one,  XDND, is supported for now.  Applications using other protocols, such as Motif or OffiX, will not be recognized by Oracle VM VirtualBox. In the context of using drag and drop, the origin of the data is called the source. That is, where the actual data comes from and is specified. The target specifies where the data from the source should go to. Transferring data from the source to the target can be done in various ways, suchas copying, moving, or linking.

THE African Development Bank (AfDB) projects Zimbabwe's economy to grow by 4,2% this year before rising to 4,4% in 2020 underpinned by growth in the mining and agricultural sectors along with fiscal consolidation efforts by Treasury, but the bank warned against policy-related macroeconomic instability and fiscal imbalances.
The projection is higher than government's 3,1% economic growth projection for the year, but lower than the bank's more optimistic 2020 projection of 7,5%. AfDB's projection comes over a week after the World Bank also projected higher economic growth of 3,7% by year end and 4% in 2020 in its report titled, Global Economic Prospects: Darkening Skies.
"Despite the headwinds, the economy is projected to grow by 4,2% in 2019 and 4,4% in 2020. The high and unsustainable debt-to-GDP ratio; the high fiscal deficit; the cash shortages, three-tier pricing, and limited availability of foreign exchange, which continue to constrict economic activity; and the persistent shortage of essential goods . . . including fuel and consumer goods, remain the major headwinds for any meaningful economic recovery. The agricultural sector and mining are expected to be the main drivers of growth, backed by increased public and private investment," AfDB said in its African Economic Outlook for 2019.
The projection comes as the economy is suffering from a high current account deficit, fiscal deficit due to an unsustainable expenditure, booming national debt, low foreign direct investment, currency distortions and a highly informalised market.
"Policy-related macroeconomic instability; lack of funding, land tenure, and investment regulations; high input costs and outdated machinery; inefficient government bureaucracy; and inadequate infrastructure (particularly energy) remain key challenges for private sector development," AfDB said.
In his maiden 2019 National Budget, Finance minister Mthuli Ncube sought to addresses these challenges through fiscal consolidations underpinned by austerity measures and measures to control government's expenditure.
The major austerity measures are a 2% tax on money transactions and more recently a 358% and 299% increase in taxies on diesel and petrol respectively. Combined, both these taxes are supposed to generate an additional revenue stream of about $4,1 billion for the year, which economists expect government to use for its excessive expenditure.
However, the potential gains of the additional revenue that will allow government to invest in productivity might be eroded by demands from its workers who are expecting salary increments due to the rise in the cost of living.
Anger over the worsening economic conditions led to a crippling three-day national shutdown as people took to the streets to protest against government's unpopular austerity measures.
"The country's protracted fiscal imbalances have constrained development expenditure and social service provision, undermining poverty reduction efforts. Unemployment pressures have been mounting as employment opportunities continue to dwindle," AfDB said.
"The country has one of the most youthful populations, with the population aged 15-34 accounting for more than 36% of the total population. However, most young people remain unemployed and resort to informal trading."
AfDB said Zimbabwe had opportunities requiring minimal additional investment to realise medium-term growth targets.
"In particular, measures are needed to increase transparency in the mining sector, strengthen property rights, reduce expropriation concerns, control corruption, and liberalise the foreign exchange markets. Regeneration of civil society and a renewed engagement with political actors in a positive social contract will accelerate political reform," AfDB said.
"Given the vast natural resources, relatively good stock of public infrastructure, and comparatively skilled labor force, Zimbabwe has an opportunity to join existing supply chains in Africa through the Continental Free Trade Area."

ABZÛ – Explore a Relaxing and Peaceful Environment
Ian Kane / April 13, 2017
Photo Source: store.steampowered.com
If you love the ocean then here's a game you might want to try.
ABZÛ is a beautiful ocean-adventure exploration game for Microsoft Windows gaming PCs and laptops. It lets you journey in a hidden and vibrant underwater world that bursts with color and life. Inspired by its art director's love for diving, the game wants to deliver a "magical experience" to gamers all over the world.
Let's get to know more about ABZÛ:
The game begins with the player on the surface of open ocean, where the player is instructed to simply dive. While exploring underwater, he will find probes buried in the sun and must re-activate it to proceed. This is where he will enter new areas, where he must revive dead areas of the ocean to reintroduce absent species to their natural habitats by activating their spawning areas.
It lets you immerse in a vibrant and hidden world which burst with color and life as you explore the heart of the ocean.
The gameplay focuses on swimming and exploring, and having peaceful interactions with aquatic animals. Rather than the usual open-world sandbox environment typical to exploration games, Abzû's progression is through linear and individual chapters are introduced, set in different areas of the sea with environments designed to be explored.
The game presents probes as well, which the player can find buried in the sun. To proceed, the player must re-activate these to interact spawning areas which release a small number of fish species.
At specific points in the game, players will encounter puzzles that involve activating mechanisms and must be solved to proceed.
Abzû is the first video game from "Giant Squid." It was described by a beautiful underwater adventure which evokes the dream of diving. It was described by Game Informer as a "work of art" and GamesRadar as an "absolutely gorgeous game" to try.
The game offers an amazing visual that go with its stunning music and a lovely vibrant environment. It's short and easy, making it a relaxing game to play when you feel stressed or troubled. It is also an interesting way to learn more about the ocean and the diversity of life it cultures.
Abzû is truly a stunning video game that will leave you breathless with its beautiful and vibrant world.

This event was absolutely amazing. Although I would have loved to hear more of a set from MGK, his set that he performed was nothing but energy from out the gate, and kept that energy rolling for Fall Out Boy. Easily one of the best concerts I've been to.
Had a great time last night in #Buffalo. He is an absolute entertainer. He put on a great show! Left the show with a lot more respect for him as an artist. He wasn't shy in being himself and he gave the crowd great energy which we fed off of! Thank You MGK for an #Rockin good time!
Hands down the best live performance I've ever seen!!! Kells did not disappoint. He destroyed the stage, lighting it on fire with every lyric that came out of his mouth. Not only that but he engaged with his fans and had everyone laughing. He's going on tour with Linkin Park and I will be sure to grab a ticket again just to see him! If Machine Gun Kelly comes near you, or you can make the trip than you are wasting your life and time if you don't go see him live!
My only complaint is that we had to wait what seemed like forever to see him perform. Way behind schedule. Overall though the show was amazing. He is a true performer and knows how to put on a good show. His energy is electric. He actually sounds just as good live as he does recorded. He knows how to hype you up and plays a variety of songs. I hope to go to many many more concerts. I cant wait to see him again!
Second time seeing MGK live and they didn't disappoint. They played a lot of the popular songs and then some not so common songs that caught me off guard. Jannus is one of they're favorite venues to play in and we can see why from the crowd and the amount of energy they had on stage. 5 stars would go again in a heart beat.


NORTH SYDNEY FAMILY HISTORY GROUP: ARE ORDINARY ANCESTORS INTERESTING?
Often when I have attended our North Sydney Genealogy Help Desk at Stanton Library people will tell me how uninteresting their ancestors are. Often they will say this apologetically. Does it come from people's natural modesty or from a deep seated conviction about their own ordinariness? 'There is no one interesting in my family tree'. I find though that it's always the people who are at the beginning of their family history research journey that say this. People don't realise just what they will find and how much there is out there to find. The further back in time you research the more ancestors you have and the more chance you will find someone of note. But I write this article not about the interesting ancestors but about the ordinary ones, who I believe are just as interesting.
I think of Robert Ball my G, G, G, G, G, G, G, Grandfather. All I know about him is that he was living on a tiny piece of land called Hides Pasture in Warwickshire, England in 1670 and he had one hearth in his home. I know this from one document. This is a Hearth Tax record from 1670. All it says is Rob Ball. Number of hearths=1. I can find his name mentioned in a couple of subsequent Hearth Tax records but nowhere else.
Of course if all you can find is an ancestor's name and maybe a common occupation it doesn't tell you much about them. For women ancestors you typically find less than this. But to me just seeing the name Rob Ball written on such an ancient document by hand in a flowing 'flowery' script is magic. He has my surname which has been carried to me through the centuries. All the documented connections I made in my genealogical research from parent to child lead me back to this one name. My surname carried through the centuries.
The English Hearth Tax was levied from 1662 to 1689. It was a tax imposed by parliament to support the household of Charles II. One shilling tax for one fireplace paid twice a year by every household. There was an element of fairness about it in that richer households had more hearths and they could afford to pay more. It was still very unpopular. (what tax isn't). The tax collectors could march into people's private homes and have a look around…for fireplaces. There were corrupt tax collectors, some people would try to hide their fireplaces (there were incidents of people burning their houses down) etc. Finally at the end the Glorious Revolution in 1688 the new rulers, William and Mary, abolished the tax.
The great things about Hearth tax records are that they are the earliest written record which covered every household in England (except for maybe the Doomsday Book?) and that so many of these records have survived to the present day. There is a website devoted to their study that is a great source of family history information.
I actually know quite a bit more about Rob Ball than I've told you, but only because I know a lot about his descendants. There were generations of them living in that same place for hundreds of years. It's so small that I know anyone named Ball in Hides Pasture was one of my ancestors. Because I have his son Robert Ball's will I also know they were all graziers on that land and Yeomen (they owned the land too). Robert's will also reveals many things about the Ball family that I won't detail here. Including that they were very unimaginative at thinking up their children's names. Robert's son was named Robert too.
You might say that all I've shown is that an ordinary ancestor is only interesting if it is your own ancestor. Maybe that's true but we all have ordinary ancestors….and if you research yours I guarantee they will be just as interesting to you as mine are to me!

Lombardi on off-ice initiatives, which began Wednesday
LA Kings Insider September 23, 2015 0 CommentsCommunityMedia Availability
Veteran and returning players on the Kings didn't take the ice at Toyota Sports Center today, though it remained an important day in the reinforcing of a mental and behavioral equilibrium.
Eschewing the photo-friendly nature of more traditional – and important – community relations work for a more constructive approach, the Kings on Wednesday commenced their new "Conduct Awareness Training Initiatives" when players met with trained instructors from Peace Over Violence, a volunteer-driven organization deigned to build "healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence."
"Being a good citizen, as we're learning, isn't how many hospital visits you do and all this stuff," General Manager Dean Lombardi said. "The times can be branding if you don't have the other stuff in order first. And I think that's what we skipped here."
He is referring to the domestic violence arrest, charge, and subsequent voluntary departure from the United States by former King Slava Voynov, which was followed by the drug-related arrests of former Kings Mike Richards and Jarret Stoll. The team's initiatives, announced Monday, will be designed to educate and prevent future wrongdoings through educational sessions and actions that "reflect the values and principles of the franchise."
"We've kind of had these [prior] legal things where the guy comes in and speaks. It goes in one ear and out the other," Lombardi said. "To me, if you're talking development outside these walls, it has to be as the development inside the walls. You don't develop a guy by saying, 'Come in in the one session for two hours.' It's got to be a little every day, and that's the way I envisioned this being set up. Not every day, per se, but it is about relationship building, constant reminders, and we've got a lot of things I'm thinking of that just keeps reminding me every day."
The domestic violence educational initiatives were also backed by the hiring of Brantt Myrhes to serve the club in a Player Assistance position. Myhres, who previously had received a lifetime ban from the NHL after multiple failed drug tests, has been clean and sober for seven years, and in recent seasons had approached professional sports teams about assisting as an in-house advisor. Lombardi said that Myhres had first approached him about three years ago.
"Actually, reflecting back on some of the things he told me, I guess I should've listened, but unfortunately it takes something like that to happen to open your eyes and wake up," Lombardi said. "He was ahead of the curve."
Though the initiatives are in their infancy, from prior conversations Lombardi had with the players, it appears as though a clear message has been received.
"I had a number of talks with them in the summer which were really hard. I think you go through the phases, too. You go angry, and then it's, 'OK, we've got to solve this,' and then you come up with a game plan, and then you've got to make sure you talk to them. 'Are you on board with this?' And then, like I said, we had the meeting last week, and we actually start our first session [Wednesday] on domestic violence," Lombardi said.
"I really think they feel, judging from that meeting and the personal ones, I do think they've taken this to heart. And this is their responsibility. When this happens, you just don't point the fingers at those players. Because the whole object here is they know everything. Darryl and I can talk to them as much as they want, but in the end, it's about them being responsible to each other. That's the ultimate message. You don't fool players. That's the goal. Just like they're taught to stick up for themselves at the rink there and what they've built there, it's the same thing off the rink. You know what's going on, and you better confront that, guy, and handle it. We're going to get Brantt here to maybe show you the way a little, but that's the objective. If it gets to my desk or Darryl's, it's too late. You guys take care of this. That's the ultimate goal, is to have the camaraderie that they fight for each other – putting a lid on that stuff right away is the same as fighting off the ice for each other. We'll get there."

On Saturday, 19 June 2010, im giving Quik2Go Touch N Go a second chance after my 1st attempt back in March 2010.
I thought , i expect, the Quik2Go services will improve over the last 3 months and im testing my internet speed on that movement was good and only i dare to try to reload my TouchNGo card with Quik2Go services.
Here begins of a series of process and photos.
Pressed submit and its took about few second to read the card.
Ok, now i got confidence to begin my Touch n Go reload via Quik2Go.. before that, i do make sure my internet was normal!
After keyed all the detail, clicked submit and its show " Initialize Transaction in progress"
Then the message changed to "Processing secure fund in progress..."
my RM100.00 is being charged!
Its went through yet showing this kind of message!
Checking at Reload history for today and its show NO DATA.. im sad and disappointing!
Knowing the Direct Access Customer Service is helpless nothing can offer to help me, i called Touch N Go Customer service to lodge a complaint and ask them to check!
Its Saturday noon, how many people would be calling TouchNGo customer service, i thinks it should be less people! I choose ENGLISH and the line being get cut while waiting! WTF WTF... i tried twice, twice also the same!
The CS took down my card serial number and said they will revert in 2 working days... which im expected. LAZY Technical TEAM of Touch n Go!
Today is Tuesday, i did not received any call from Touch N Go.. so How now Touch N Go ? Where is my RM100 gone to? I want my money back!
Food for thought : in this scenario, who should i blame?
CIMB for not being helpful enough? CIMB just playing "tai-chi" pushing the problems to TouchNGo... I remember long long time ago, when im purchase a reload card via Maybank2u.com.my and the transaction was not went through yet my money being deducted. I called the customer service and complaint, and they eventually reverted back to me in promised time.
While TouchNGo Customer service are not performing up to standard as set by themselves.. 2 working days to settle customer problem also failed to achieve!
While on other hand, my twitter friend MX510 said his Maybank TouchNGo Zing card are doing fine!
oh poor you! did you get your RM100 back?
Im, ME vin_ann definitely get back my RM100... just matter of time.
I'm facing similar problem (Failed to reload without any trails)......I think I should call up CIMB to get check whether my 100 ringgit reload already being charged to my direct access!!

For the first time in its 20-year history, cruise line Silversea has a female captain at the helm of one of its ships.
Margrith Ettlin has taken command of the 132-passenger vessel Silver Explorer. She took over on the bridge this week when the ship was visiting Reykjavik, Iceland, and her first tour of duty will continue until October.
Ettlin, who is Swiss, has extensive maritime experience in remote regions, including the Arctic and Antarctica. She has worked for Germany's F. Laeisz shipping group, and spent nine years as staff captain with the German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd.
She is also a qualified helicopter pilot.
Cunard appointed Inger Klein Olsen, from the Faroe Islands, as its first woman captain in 2010. In the same year, P&O Cruises promoted Sarah Breton, from Essex, to the position.
The first woman to captain a cruise ship was Karin Stahre Janson, from Sweden, who took command of Royal Caribbean's 2,400-passenger vessel Monarch Of The Seas in 2007.

A few years ago I "had bit of a dabble" with digital painting and discovered that I really enjoyed it. I even produced a number of painterly pictures that I was quite pleased with. However, at that time I was also learning Photoshop so something had to give – and it was the digital painting that lost out and its taken me a little while to get back to relearning digital painting again.
Having come to a photographic cross roads (again !) I have decided that I want to get back to producing more painterly pictures (as I say in the About introduction to this website) I really enjoy blurring the boundaries of photography and art. So I am starting again from scratch and learning digital painting all over again.
Like most people, I like to learn new things…… as long as its art based and is linked to my beloved photography … So……….Wacom pen in hand, computer fired up and ready to go, large cup of steaming hot coffee on my desk….. deep breath……. off we go…..

Q: How to sort rows in Google Sheets I have the following in a sheet :

I would like to sort it like this in another sheet in the same file:

What I want to do is to import row whenever its column A has a certain value and import all the next empty rows but stop when Column A has any other value.
I hope I was clear with my explication. I would appreciate your help please
Ps: I have no control over dataA, it isn't a constant

A: Mine is the same
=ArrayFormula(query({if(B:B="","",vlookup(row(A:A),{if(A:A="","",row(A:A)),A:A},2,true)),A:B},"select Col2,Col3 where Col1='A'"))

A: If I understood you correctly, you want to copy all rows from another sheet in the spreadsheet in which column A has the value A or it is empty. If that's the case, you can use this:
=QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(Sheet1!A1:B),"SELECT * WHERE A='A' or A='' ")
Reference:

*

*QUERY

*ARRAYFORMULA
I hope this is of any help.

A: try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY({IF(B1:B="",,VLOOKUP(ROW(A1:A),
 IF(A1:A<>"", {ROW(A1:A), A1:A}), 2, 1)), B1:B},
 "select Col2 where upper(Col1)='A'", 0))

Rome has many inherent Slow characteristics. It has less people and less industry than most capital cities, which means it has less traffic and less stress. It's huge, with plenty outside the well-trodden center to explore, and is officially one of the greenest cities in Europe.
All of these factors have a discernible effect on the attitude of people who live here, and thus on daily life, making Rome in many ways the perfect city in which to carry out an initial Slow Travel experiment. It's a great city, for example, to rent an apartment instead of a hotel; to stay a week rather than a weekend; to do a cooking course, learn Italian (or another language), hire a music teacher or join an art or writing workshop. Its past is enthralling and vivid enough to justify off-the-beaten-track explorations. Its parks are large and green enough to really relax in.
As Canadian journalist Carl Honoré notes in his Slow bible In Praise Of Slow humans thrive on speed in many ways. We don't just enjoy it: we need it. Like him, we believe that only certain things should be Slowed – food, art, body – simply in order to make these things more enjoyable.
While nowhere near as universal as the Slow Food movement, Slow Travel easily has the potential to be just as revolutionary a concept in the future. While we wouldn't claim to be original or definitive in any way, we are trying our best to find a philosophical model that can be emulated in a bid to generally improve the Travel experience. If you have any feedback – good or bad – we'd encourage you to contact us and share it. Or feel free to leave a comment somewhere on the site.
We're also very keen to collaborate with other Slow Travellers, either in Rome or elsewhere, in order to promote and expand this more conscientious style of travel. If you'd like to work with us in any way, the more creative the better, drop us a line. Thanks for popping in.

Religious Networking Organizations and Social Justice: An Ethnographic Case Study
Nathan R. Todd
The current study provides an innovative examination of how and why religious networking organizations work for social justice in their local community. Similar to a coalition or community coordinating council, religious networking organizations are formal organizations comprised of individuals from multiple religious congregations who consistently meet to organize around a common goal. Based on over a year and a half of ethnographic participation in two separate religious networking organizations focused on community betterment and social justice, this study reports on the purpose and structure of these organizations, how each used networking to create social capital, and how religion was integrated into the organizations' social justice work. Findings contribute to the growing literature on social capital, empowering community settings, and the unique role of religious settings in promoting social justice. Implications for future research and practice also are discussed.

US Supreme Court agrees to hear case on Trump's financial records
In a Friday decision, the US Supreme Court announced that it will hear a case concerning House Democrats and New York prosecutors' access to US President Donald Trump's financial records.
The high court's decision to take up the case comes shortly after a New York prosecutor and three Democratic-led congressional committees previously won decisions before a US court of appeals in October and New York's 2nd Circuit Court earlier this month.
Trump's legal team argued that the subpoenas - which seek to have Trump produce personal financial records - are politically motivated. As is the case with the House Democrats' impeachment proceedings - which is happening concurrently, but is a separate legal matter - Trump has refused to comply with the order.
"It is the first time that Congress has subpoenaed personal records of a sitting president," 45's lawyers' argued in their appeal, "and, it
is the first time a court has upheld any congressional subpoena for any sitting President's records of any kind."
The House committees on Oversight, Financial Services and Intelligence issued subpoenas to Trump's accounting firm Mazars USA and financial entities Deutsche Bank and Capitol One earlier this year, seeking financial documents that 45's legal team have labeled "sweeping" in scope.
Another case involves a grand jury subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance to Mazars USA, demanding eight years of Trump's tax records.
That said, this is also the first time a US president's "personal conduct" has been brought before the Supreme Court, according to the Washington Post.

Could Ron Paul Win the General Election for Obama?
By Craig Ricks
Widener University Student
Last week in his post-debate speech, Ron Paul commented on how the media and political pundits describe his campaign as dangerous. "We are dangerous to the status quo of this country," were his exact words, followed by chants of "President Paul" from the crowd. However, with candidates dropping like flies, it could only be a matter of weeks until Paul also steps down. But his campaign could still remain dangerous, only to the Republican Party rather than the status quo. In fact, his Presidential aspirations just may continue the status quo for another four years.
Between now and Super Tuesday, which is March 6th, it is very possible that Mitt Romney will have won enough primaries to lock up the Republican nomination. However, many Republican voters who are fed up with the establishment may not be willing to vote for Romney in November. Does this mean their votes go to President Obama? Absolutely not. The moment Ron Paul becomes dangerous is when he splits himself from the establishment and runs as a third party candidate, most likely the Libertarian Party. It happened back in the 1988 Presidential election. In that election, he received a miniscule 0.47% of the vote. This time around, however, he would almost certainly receive a much higher percentage of the vote. Those votes wouldn't be coming from the left side of the aisle, and that is what is dangerous for Republicans. Many of those dissatisfied Republicans would vote for Paul in November, taking votes almost exclusively away from Romney. This could spell the end to a red victory and ensure another four years for President Obama and the "status quo."

Q: Backwards compatibility fallback for `translateY` I have a div, that needs to be centered vertically.
Have achieved that with translateY.
div {
    position: absolute; float: left; clear: none; display: block;
    top: 55%; left: 0;
    width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0; padding: 0;

    -webkit-transform: translateY(-50%); -moz-transform: translateY(-50%); -o-transform: translateY(-50%); -ms-transform: translateY(-50%); transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Now in browsers that don't support transform, I would like to have a different value for top or set top: 0; and add a margin-top.
Is it possible to do this?

Or is there a better way to center vertically thats more supported?
