Argentina day 2 – Going fly-fishing in Bariloche, Patagonia | Solving for Zero!
I was desperate to go fishing as it was one of the activities as it was on my to-do-list as I had crossed off diving a few days prior thanks to the Chiloé Island experience. After I woke up early and ate breakfast, I took off into town looking for some tourist/excursion offices despite the downpour of rain. I tried one place but wasn't interested in doing trekking or sightseeing as I found that too boring for my tastes and also being holed up in my hotel room or some café was not acceptable as I needed to do something physical to get my juices running. After checking one place, I went to one office where I asked about the possibility of fishing and ka-ching! I was in business! The lady behind the counter stated that there was fishing tours available, basically all-year-round, rain or shine. Perfect, I'm signing up despite the high price of 1520 Argentinean pesos (US$380) which in my opinion was not bad at all if the guide was providing everything – fishing gear like rod, reel, bait, food, drinks, lunch, boat, and his years of experience on the waters. The cost was not bad after comparing on the internet that some places were charging up to $500-700/day! That's not even including gear! You have to bring your own rods, reels, lines, flies, hooks, waders, and other stuff! Also, to me, this was an experience that I could not pass up as I've heard great things about fly-fishing in Argentina from not only people who have gone there but from the amount of booths at the Hunting and Fishing Expos I have gone to back in the US that showcased the excellent possibilities of landing of some big ones!
They make some damn good sandwiches in Argentina!
At 1 PM back at my hotel, my guide showed us and we were ready to go. As I was going out the door, the hotel manager remarked, "good luck, since catching an Argentinean girl is easier than catching a fish here." Ha ha. You know what? He might be right as I've seen a lot of beauties even in this town despite the rains. My guide drove us about 30 minutes away to a river where we put his boat in the river. It was a special pontoon boat specially designed for fishing and I knew my guide knew his stuff when I asked him about fishing. He was a pro and even watching him I could tell.
Putting the boat in the river in one of Bariloche's rivers and getting ready to fish!
The competition from other fishermen - hopefully I'll be able to out-fish them!
Fly fishing is very different from regular fishing as it requires a person to pull the rod back and snapping the line forward to make a good presentation of a fly which would be the bait for fish either floating it on top of the water like a fallen bug or underwater to act as baitfish or a small water bug. It takes some skill to get used to this type of fishing since you're also using the current of the water. Once the line has been cast, you're basically drifting the bait downstream until you get to the point of having to recycle the bait and do it over again. The point is to make a good cast to where the fish thinks it is a bug or food and will take it. If the bait is not set properly, the fish will either not see it, not take it, or quite possibly get scared and swim away from it. My friend back home taught me how to fly-fish and I've continued on from his training so I had some skill on how to go for fish.
The only problem with fishing on this day was that it was raining hard on and off on the river making it tough for fishing as the fish didn't want to get caught and thus get wet. My hands were freezing cold from pulling in and out the fly line. After hours and hours on the river, I got nothing but one whole bite which I wasn't fast enough to set the hook.
Sure, it was disappointing that I caught nothing but at the end, when all the boats were recovered, I learned from the other fishermen that they did not catch one single fish nor get one bite. The fact that I, as a foreigner coming in fishing for the first time in these rivers, got one bite over guys who have been fishing these waters for years has to be a testament to my skills or just plain dumb luck. I think it's all about my skills since I have out-caught other fishermen in other places. I still take it all as a learning moment that despite what my friend's claims that he would teach me how to use a sinking line while fly-fishing but never did, I finally got to learn how to do it under the tutelage of a very experienced fly fisherman. To me, this was just a stepping stone because I have plans to go fly fishing in the warm waters of Baja California and/or the Caribbean Sea and a sinking line is necessary. Sometimes in life, you have to learn your way by going through hell and failing so you know how to reach heaven on your own and not fail in the end. It's all part of the process and numbers game in my opinion – I have caught so many fish, much more on certain days over groups of people combined, that it only makes sense that I would have zero days too. I guess the hotel manager was right – catching an Argentinean girl was easier than a fish. I actually asked an Argentinean if she would put a hook in her mouth just to make that statement true. I was denied. At least I tried!
If it were my way, I would have hooked and landed a fish the size like this one I caught back in New York!
But it was good and dandy since to end the day on a great note I ended up eating another awesome Argentinean steak – filet mignon with mushrooms and potatoes since the next day we were going on another bus ride. To Buenos Aires!

Q: Image resize with window, based on set pixel margins? I'm trying to get an image centered on the screen, and I want it to stretch horizontally.
The trick here is that I need set margins. Lets use 200px as an example.
The image needs to stretch horizontally (and possibly scale proportionally) to maintain those margins no matter the windows size.
I can center it, and I can stretch it, but I can't do both at once for some reason.
Also, this needs to be CSS only! No JS.
Any help is greatly appreciated! :D
P.S. I've seen ton of questions about scaling images with the window size, and this is not the same thing. I need set margins, in pixels, that stay constant, while the image between them stretches horizontally.

A: I put a container around my image which would preserve the margins. As the window's width changes, the margin stays intact - only the width of the .container is changed. By setting the width of the image within the container to equal 100%, the entire image would be scaled (proportionally) based on the width of the container:
CSS:
.container {
    margin: 0 200px;
    background: red;
}

.container img {
    width: 100%;
}

HTML:

A: You could use two divs, the outer with the set margins, the inner with width set to 100%:
http://jsfiddle.net/tqmrY/4/

#holder {
    background: #333;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 0 100px;
}
#holder div {
        width: 100%;

}

A: One way you could do this is by putting your image in a div and then putting padding on the div.
You would set your img to have a width of 100% and auto height, and then put padding on the containing div.
Here is an example

This video burrowed its way into my imagination and just stayed there waiting for me to do something with it ... like write a novel.
Seemed simple enough. I already wanted to write about an ordinary, mature woman who goes on an adventure. So, she could go to Yellowstone and see the wolves.
Before long, her friend and co-worker wanted to be part of the story. Then a broken-hearted teenage boy said, "I want to go, too." Suddenly this unlikely trio is on their way to see the wolves. Only what they find when they get there changes everything.
The video is remarkable and beautifully done.

He went to the Elbaue vocational college, the Sachsenwerk Niedersedlitz factory school, from 1925 to 1929 and completed his training as a mechanic there.
Hard times followed, dominated by high unemployment, which meant new challenges time and time again.
In 1941, he gained the title of "Precision engineer" from the "Städtischen Technikerschule" [City Technical College] in Dresden.
In 1942 he submitted an "image capture device" to ZEISS IKON AG. DRESDEN as an invention proposal, which was accepted 1 year later.
Thanks to his talent for creating new things and rethinking and improving work processes he blended seamlessly into the generation of German innovation.
Immediately after the end of the Second World War, on 8 May 1945, Fritz Jobst registered a business and, on 29 May 1945, received official authorisation for the collection of metal and the salvage and refurbishment of machines in the entire old town district of Dresden.
In 1950 he visited the Leipzig Trade Fair and an industry exhibition in West Berlin where he procured brochures and technical documents for the construction of automatic lathes.
He designed and manufactured his first automatic lathe using these documents.
In September 1951, after a successful test run, the foundations could be laid for more automatic machines.
Thanks to this success, word quickly got around in the GDR that Fritz Jobst developed and built machines.
Enquiries and orders for special machines followed from all across the GDR. Turned micro parts and screws were produced in-house, primarily for the camera industry, for ZEISS IKON, among others.
As a result of constant reprisals from the state, self-employed individuals were denied an existence in the GDR. This prompted the Jobst family to make a hasty escape to West Berlin in 1957.
In July 1958 they moved to Schwäbisch Gmünd on their own initiative. Fritz Jobst, who was 48 at this time, was too old to be an engineer and was unemployable as a metalworker because he was overqualified.
New start in April 1959, in rented space in Waldstetten with partially rented, old machines, as a supplier for the automotive industry.
In 1973, at his own cost, he developed a new pivoting system with water hydraulics which he registered for patent approval.
He also tackled products from other areas.
Just when the plans for a new building were on the table, our "boss" Fritz Jobst suddenly died on 28 April 1987. He, at 77 years old, was still working in his own company right up to that point.
His wife Herta, who always stood by her husband and stuck with him through thick and thin throughout his lifetime, carried the company forward together with their son Ekkehard (33).
As a master mechanic, having grown up in his father's company, he had acquired the necessary tools to do so.
Completion of the new company building in Gügling. With administration, CNC-controlled machines, state-of-the-art machinery, and all this in a light, friendly atmosphere.
Ekkehard Jobst overcame all difficulties thanks to an iron will and determination.
Ekkehard Jobst invested a lot in new products and the publicity measures required for this.
An ever more important aspect here was, and continues to be, the ability to react quickly to changes in the market, price-consciously and with innovation.
Now more than ever, Jobst, as a small but excellent company, is in constant competition with the "major players" both nationally and internationally.
Our company philosophy is based not on "a new broom sweeps better", but on very specific technical knowledge and the experience which has grown from years of cooperation, as well as personal commitment and the desire to actively participate in the company's success.
…and Mr Günter Hinderer, who has been loyal to the company for 26 years.

Carpenter ants are a large sized ant and are usually black in color, although, they can be red, yellow, or even a combination of colors. Queens grow up to 1 inch in length. The worker ants are smaller and generally range in length from 5/8th to ½ of an inch. Carpenter ants have an oval segmented body with a 1 node waist. If you think you have carpenter ants, or any other type of ant then click on the link below to contact your local branch. We are happy to provide a free ant inspection and answer any questions you may have.
Workers have strong mandibles (lower jaw bones) that they use to excavate tunnels in wood. Carpenter ants use these tunnels for travel and to nest in. Contrary to popular belief, they don't eat wood. They actually remove it as they tunnel and then deposit it in piles outside of the nest. Carpenter ants feed on sweets, meats and other insects. Their tunnels are very smooth and tidy.
The one sure sign of a carpenter ant presence in homes is an actual sighting of them. Carpenter ants are usually sighted while traveling through the kitchen and pantry areas searching for food to bring back to the colony. Another common sign is seeing winged reproductive members swarm from the colony. They swarm in order to find a mate and form a new colony. Finding piles of wood shavings on the floor of your home can also indicate a problem with carpenter ants.
Mitchell Pest Services is here to help property owners in the Virginia Beach and Richmond metro resolve carpenter ant infestations. Our pest control services for carpenter ants include a thorough inspection and treatment as necessary. Our quarterly pest control program targets carpenter ants AND other common household pests. Best of all, this is a long term solution that provides lasting protection from these wood destroying ants and other pests that cause problems in and around homes in our region.
Repair any outdoor faucets that are leaking.
Maintain gutters and all watershed systems to keep them working properly.
Replace any water damaged wood in or around your home.
Use de-humidifiers in humid areas like bathrooms, basements, and attics.
Seal cracks in your home's foundation.
Caulk gaps around exterior windows and doors and install door sweeps.
Seal openings around pipes and utility lines entrances.
Store food in sealed containers or in the refrigerator.
Be sure to routinely wash dirty dishes and immediately clean up spills and crumbs.


In a separate study, it was found that second-hand smoke exposure was significantly associated with increased risk of hearing loss for low-/mid-frequencies for those who had never smoked and for former smokers, as well as high-frequencies for former smokers.
Mark your calendars now: HLA-PA hopes everyone can join us for our next banquet on Sunday May 1, 2011. The banquet luncheon will take place at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel in King of Prussia. The highlight of the banquet will be the presentation of the 2010 Marcia Finisdore Award for Advocacy to Angela Lundy of Philadelphia. Angela has lived with a hearing loss since 1995 and has worked tirelessly to open doors for people with all disabilities, including sensory disabilities. Her unsuccessful cochlear implant surgery has not affected her determination to advocate for access for all who live with a hearing loss. She developed the "Widow's Mite" program, in which rehabilitation items are collected and recycled to people in need. She also works with Temple University to provide donated equipment such as VCO telephones, listening devices and alerting devices to people who have a hearing loss.
More details on the banquet will be forthcoming next Spring.
With the holidays just around the corner, Montco chapter will again be holding our traditional holiday party.
Please bring a dessert or finger food of your choice and join in all the fun. Guests are always welcome at our meetings but we are extending a special invitation to them for our holiday party.

Birmingham Borough Asylum
Winson Green Asylum
Prior to the opening of All Saints Mental Asylum (sometimes known as Winson Green Asylum) there was no provision for the treatment or upkeep of people with mental illnesses. Most would have been kept in the local workhouse infirmary. However, the rapid increase in the population of Birmingham in the first half of the 19th Century brought with it is associated social problems, and the population of Birmingham soon outgrew the workhouse Infirmary. This began to change with the 1845 Act to amend the laws for the regulation and provision of Lunatic Asylums. This required boroughs to provide asylums and receive patients at a weekly charge not exceeding 14 shillings.
Birmingham Borough Council appointed a Lunatic Asylum Committee on 10 November 1845. In 1847 land adjacent to Winson Green Gaol was purchased to provide the site for an institution to house 300 pauper lunatics. In June 1850 the first patients were received from the surrounding parishes. The building underwent continual expansion in the following years and additional land was purchased increasing the site from the original 20 acres to approximately 48 acres in 1866. In 1893 the Commissioners in Lunacy said Winson Green should be given up and a new asylum built elsewhere, as it is impossible to build any further extensions on the already overcrowded site. However All Saints Hospital stayed open, and by 1953 was housing 1,200 patients. To ease the overcrowding, annexes were added. The hospital closed in 2001 and is now used by the prison.

A 360° panorama of the Alps asking for some effort before enjoying it.
According to altitude, discover all the different vegetation belts of this mountain nature. Enjoy the diversity of the nature reserve which is revealed by elevation.
22 points of interest
The nature reserve
A few steps away from the true entrance to the nature reserve, a panel presenting the issues of this protected and regulated natural space.
The roman route
More than a touristic itinerary, the roman route was one of the main ways of crossing the Alps during Antiquity!
Before the Roman invasion, Val-Montjoie was home to Ceutrons, a Celtic tribe practicing livestock breeding. For their cheese production, they imported salt from Moutiers via the Col du Bonhomme mountain pass. They participated in the establishment of these routes leading to Italy, which were taken by the Romans during the invasion of the Alps.
Observe the section of Rochassets, it was carved in the rocks in order to create a passage for the charriots!
Notre Dame de la Gorge
To know everything about the history of the church of Notre Dame de la Gorge, and have a better visit afterwards.
The bogs at la Rosière
On your left are located the bogs of La Rosière, but be careful, admire them from the trail because these are fragile habitats with high biodiversity!
Originating from the ice age, this wetland was first a depression eroded by the glacier in which the melting ice stagneted. It's a paradise for carnivorous plants such as Alpine Butterwort or the Round-leaved Sundew...
The round-leaf Sundew
It is a small carnivorous plant that lives in peat bogs, environments offering few nutrients. Don't worry, it feeds only on insects, which it traps and digests thanks to a sticky substance produced by the red hairs covering its leaves.
It is called "Rossolis or Sundew" because of the scintillation of this substance in the sunlight.
This species is fragile and protected, please do not touch it !
The roman bridge
Also called "Pont de la Téna", this structure dates back to Roman times! It is located on the ancient strategic route which made it than possible to reach the valley of la Tarentaise and Italy directly from Les Contamines.
This route, which has become the GR5 since, is a popular tourist destination.
The bridge overlooks the gorges of Bont Nant.
Admire the natural pools that the torrent has shaped slowly but surely!
The mountain refuge of Nant Borrant
This traditional mountain chalet dates back to the 1800's.
In 1842 the commune of Les Contamines authorized to establish an inn on this location. It will be called "Mountain Hotel" until 1976. With the development of the long-distance hiking trail "Tour du Mont Blanc", it has become a refuge. But since its creation it has always belonged to the same family! It is open from June to the end of September.
The Nant Borrant refuge is located at the gates of the nature reserve which starts just behind the torrent...
The mountain pasture
Mountain pastures are landscapes shaped by human activities since prehistory, during the neolithic era, when first started livestock farming.
Without the grazing of domestic animals at this altitude, this environment would be composed by few species of bushes and according animal species. The alpine pasture is a rare example of human activity generating biodiversity in both animal and plant species, more abundant than what the natural evolution of the environment would produce. It hosts many species of plants, birds, invertebrates, mammals...
Cow mountain
How to recognize the breeds of mountain cows grazing together in these pastures?
The breed called "Abondance" was born in the village of the same name in the Chablais area in Haute-Savoie. It can be recognized by its mahogany-colored coat and belly and its white head.
The "d'Herens" breed is coming from the Valais region in Switzerland. More stocky, it has a plain coat, often black, sometimes dark red or chestnut. Its lively and belligerent behavior is used during the traditional "Fight of the queens" in the 3 areas around Mont-Blanc. But don't panic, these games are harmless for the competing animals!
The mountain refuge of la Balme
Located at the foot of 'Aiguilles de la Pennaz' (2668 m) on the 'Tour du Mont-Blanc' trail, this refuge has been managed by 3 generations of the same family to welcome hikers. This old farm is surrounded by mountain pastures, still managed by mountain farmers.
Estimate the height of the roof and imagine that during the winter only the chimney isn't covered by the snowpack!
This refuge is open from June to September.
The Arctic Rush
As its name suggests, it is a plant species that is found in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, but also in the Arctic and the Alps!
It is recognizable thanks to its total absence of leaves and thanks to its few blackish flowers placed in the upper third of the stem.
It is protected in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It's prohibited to pick or destroy it.
It is a typical species of certain alpine environments such as meadows and stream banks.
Black glaciers
At first sight, the main slope of Plan Jovet, in the direction of the crest of Les Fours contains only rocks.
And yet, glaciers buried under a layer of sediments have recently been discovered there!
These glaciers are called "black glaciers", as opposed to "white glaciers". The layer covering these glaciers protects them from the sun, and slows down the melting process comparing to white glaciers.
Tumulus of Plan des Dames
This mount, about 4 m high and 5 m in diameter, is a burial site. According to a legend from the end of the last century, this tumulus would cover the remains of two English ladies found buried after a terrible storm. It is considered to be evil, so to ward off bad spells when passing Plan des Dames, it's a tradition to throw a pebble on the tumulus!
Studies and Ibexes
This protected species almost disappeared from the Alps at the end of the 19th century, mainly due to hunting or poaching.
Various successive reintroductions in the entire Alps region have made it possible to increase the numbers of the populations although the stability of these populations is still threatened.
In the nature reserves of Haute-Savoie, Ibexes are included in the monitored species and research programs intended to study its health conditions or to improve the management of its populations.
Excessive trail frequentation, the actions of Asters CEN74
Asters-CEN74 and its partners of the Gebiodiv project (PITEM Biodiv'alp) spent two days restoring this very popular hiking section of the GR5 on the Tour du Mont-Blanc trail.

Col du Bonhomme
At 2329 meters above sea level, the Col du Bonhomme mountain pass connects Val Montjoie to the Beaufortin region, Haute-Savoie to Savoie. It is one of the passes used by the great hiking trails such as the GR 5, the Tour du Mont Blanc or the Tour du Beaufortin.
Thanks to its strategic location, this pass has always been a passage frequented by the Romans, peddlers, crystal collectors and livestock traders... In 1860, during the French annexation of Savoy and the county of Nice, a free zone was established on a large northern part of Savoy, of which the pass was one of the limits.
The Bonhomme rock
The mountain pass "col du Bonhomme", located in the southern part of the reserve, is dominated by the Aiguilles de la Pennaz on the west side and the roche du Bonhomme on the east side.
The latter would have been called this way because it looks like a male face... Have you seen it?
The Rock Ptarmigan
This species, gifted with mimicry, is able to transform its plumage between summer and winter seasons in order to become visually part of its environment. Its name, which means "hare's foot", refers to its foot digits covered by fuzz in the winter ! It is one of the most endangered bird species in the Alps. Every year the nature reserves of Haute-Savoie carry out population monitoring in order study their evolution. The results are shared with the "Observatoire des Galliformes de Montagne".
Singular sandstones
The "singular sandstones" are rocks found at Tête Nord des Fours, close to Rocher du Bonhomme. These sandstones were described for the first time by a geologist, also known to be one of the founders of mountaineering: Horace Bénédicte de Saussure in the 18th century!
Why is this rock called this way? Because they look like nothing known at the time! These rocks are precious evidence that shows that only the inner part of the Mont-Blanc massif was raised during the Jurassic period.
Resistance at the top
In June 1940, when the French army was losing the war against the nazis and their fascist ally Mussolini, one of the first victories for a free world took place at this mountain pass. A section of about thirty men commanded by Lieutenant Bulle routed the Italians at an altitude of more than 2600m and by a temperature of -10°, thanks to a reverse fire with machine guns since the Tête de l'Enclave after an abseil down the rock wall!
From this mountaintop at 2665 m, admire the breathtaking view on the Mont Blanc massif, the Haut-Giffre, the Aravis mountainchain and the Beaufortin massif. You can enjoy a 360 degree panorama and by clear weather and a nice autumn light you can even observe the Matterhorn in Switzerland!
Use the orientation table to discover the names of the surrounding peaks. In front of you admire the 5500 ha of protected areas of the nature reserve: forests, alpine pastures, cliffs, alpine lakes, glacier... with nearly 3000 m of altitude variation.

Victoria author Shirley Langer shows off her novel Anita's Revolution, about Cuba's national-wide literacy campaign of 1961, which was recently translated into Spanish.
Victoria author Shirley Langer's book Anita's Revolution, about Cuba's national literacy campaign, is being translated into Spanish.
When Shirley Langer moved to Cuba in the '60s, she never realized she would be a part of what is arguably the biggest social movement in the country's history.
In 1959, when Fidel Castro and the Revolutionary government took over Cuba, roughly one quarter of the population — more than one million people — were totally illiterate.
Castro said if Cuba was to move forward, economically and socially, he had to end illiteracy in the country — a goal he hoped to achieve by the end of 1961.
Shortly after, Castro began a nation-wide literacy campaign in which 400,000 volunteers, including 100,000 teenagers (ranging from eight to 15 years old) left their homes and travelled to the countryside to teach people to read and write.
The volunteers, also known as brigadistas, would live with learners, often in huts with mud floors, and no electricity or toilets.
But the program was interrupted by the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
Despite being cut short, almost a million people learned to read and write through the program. Literacy in the country decreased from 25 per cent to 3.9 per cent in seven months and on Dec. 22, 1961, Cuba declared itself an illiteracy free country.
Langer moved to Cuba with her husband at the tail-end of the campaign in 1964, after hearing about the campaign from friends who lived in the country.
Immediately following the campaign, the government established follow-up education programs around the island and Langer was able to see the long-term effect literacy had on the country.
She would see people studying to get their high school education in cafeterias, factories, in public parks and at their work places.
It wasn't until the early 2000s when Langer noticed a lack of literature about the success of the literacy campaign and decided to write a novel about it.
Since returning to Victoria in 1969, she has travelled back to Cuba nearly two dozen times, interviewing a number of brigadistas. Her book, Anita's Revolution, was published in 2012.
Now, her book has been translated into Spanish as part of the 55th anniversary of the literacy campaign last month.
"It's a great honour that the book of a Canadian has been chosen to represent something that was probably a moment in history that changed everything," Langer said, adding Cubans continue to hunger for novels to read.

Chicago Protest Demands Accounting for Police Murders
J Turk
December 11, 2015 Length:537 words
Summary: Determined protests against police brutality and murder continue in Chicago amid attempts at whitewash and questions over the meaning of changing "the system" — Editors
Some three hundred people turned out for a rally to protest the Department of Justice complicity in police crimes in Chicago on Thursday, Dec. 10. Sparking daily marches and demonstrations like this one was the uncovering of the police shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2014. Held in Federal Plaza, the protest comes at a time when the Obama Administration's Justice Department is launching an investigation of the Chicago Police Department and the widening picture of police murders.
A focal point of the rally was the history of police torture of people unjustly convicted for crimes they did not commit, sometimes with sentences of death or life in prison, and mostly African-American but other ethnicities too. Despite a movement which exposed this brand of corruption and produced gubernatorial pardons for many victims almost two decades ago, the pattern of abuses has continued. For instance, some ninety people have been killed by Chicago Police in the four years leading up to 2015. In that light, an abrupt and belated Justice Department investigation appears to be what it is, a whitewash of police crimes and cover-ups by Mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel.
Speakers at the rally included the victim of Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge, in whose custody hundred's of detainees were tortured between 1972 and 1991. Only this May, the Chicago City Council, at the behest of Emanuel, legislated $5.5 million in reparations for victims – who could prove they were tortured by Burge and his staff. But many victims remain in prison or were never exonerated. A long ribbon with the names of a hundred of those victims was rolled out to illustrate the dimensions of this travesty.
Rekia Boyd, Philip Coleman, Flint Farmer, Ronald Johnson and many others recently killed by the Chicago Police were remembered as well. And in a powerful speech Joyce Edison-Brown recounted the slaying of her son, Charles, by the police in Harvey, a predominantly black suburb of Chicago.
The central demand in this demonstration was the establishment of an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council. The current appointed Independent Police Review Authority itself was the outcome of community demands for police accountability, but it is just as corrupt as the panel it replaced. This year a former investigator, Lorenzo Davis, sued the city after he was fired for refusing to back down from his recommendation to discipline an abusive police officer. Moreover complaints generally go nowhere with the current board. Pressure to depose sitting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez has percolated in this rally and others. Packing boxes were labeled and stacked in the plaza for Emanuel, to help him vacate city Hall.
While some speakers talked about changing "the system," whether they meant the system of capitalist justice, practiced locally, wasn't clear. An elected body to investigate complaints against the police could, if our community wins this demand, give it some breathing room and lead to more organization. However as the recent past shows, reformism can take root and erode the struggle against police brutality. City police can assume no other role – in the institution and in the individuals – than to dominate community life with the purpose of suppressing the potential for self-organization, much less actual struggle.

A little history of Saint-Louis cathedral in Blois
The cathedral - ©DC / CC-BY-SA
Saint-Louis cathedral in Blois Cathedral
Our Gothic cathedral was raised on the foundation of a small oratory dedicated to saint Pierre, then dedicated to Solenne, when they brought the saint's relics in 589. Solenne? Oh, yes, he was bishop of Chartres in the 5th century. The legend said he was there with saint Rémi for Clovis' baptism... He died near Luynes castle, in Touraine. His successor sent his henchmen in order to bring back the corpse and bury him in Chartres.
The thing was done in three days: henchmen came back in Chartres, but before, they made a break in Blois. Here, inhabitants offered to keep Solenne's relics for the night, in their church... On the next morning, when henchmen wanted to leave again... they were incapable of lifting up the shrine! The legend said Solenne appeared to the bishop of Chartres and ordered him to leave his relics in Blois!
Anyway, they rebuilt the church in 650 and in 1016 (a kind of Romanesque-Byzantine basilica), then count of Blois Thibault the Great completely re-raised it one century later! The building works were completed in 1106. The cathedral was damaged, especially during the war of Religion, in 1568: Protestants even burnt Solenne's relics!
At the end of the 17th century, a storm damaged our church: the bell-tower only remained after that... Marie Charron, Colbert's wife (Louis XIV's famous Finance Inspector) asked the king to rebuild the church. It was dedicated in 1730 with its current name: saint Louis, in tribute to the king! The church was consecrated cathedral in 1697, when the bishopric was created...

Fargo är en amerikansk långfilm från 1996, regisserad och producerad av Joel respektive Ethan Coen samt skriven och klippt av dem båda. I huvudrollen ser vi polischefen Marge Gunderson (spelad av Frances McDormand) som utreder fallet med en kidnappad kvinna och ett antal mord i kidnappningens kölvatten. I en biroll ser vi William H. Macy som bilförsäljaren Jerry Lundegaard, i stort behov av pengar. Steve Buscemi och Peter Stormare spelar rollerna som Carl Showalter och Gaear Grimsrud, småförbrytarna som Lundegaard hyrt för att kidnappa sin egen fru.

I Sverige hade filmen premiär 15 november 1996.

2012 meddelades det att bröderna Coen ska producera en TV-serie av Fargo. Manuset skrevs av Noah Hawley och hade premiär i april 2014 på den amerikanska tv-kanalen FX.

Handling
Vintern 1987. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) är en bilförsäljare från Minnesota med ett enda stort problem. Trots ett lyckligt familjeliv är han en desperat man. Han behöver pengar – massor av pengar. Jerry har satt sig i stor skuld att han inte ser någon annan utväg än att resa till Fargo, North Dakota och leja småförbrytarna Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) och Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) för att kidnappa sin egen fru och pressa sin rika svärfar på pengarna. Det verkar vara en simpel affär, men detta är innan polischefen Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) från staden Brainerd sätts på fallet. Den gravida poliskvinnan vaggar från spår till spår och närmar sig sakta men säkert den desperata Jerry, som i sin tur har mycket stora problem att hålla både sin svärfar och de båda kidnapparna i schack.

Om filmen
Filmens titel syftar på staden Fargo i North Dakota i de nordvästra delarna av dem amerikanska mellanvästern, men det är väldigt få scener som faktiskt utspelas där. Det mesta av filmen spelades in i Minneapolis och Brainerd i granndelstaten Minnesota.

Filmen nominerades till sju Oscars, bland annat för bästa film (Ethan Coen), bästa regi (Joel Coen), bästa manliga biroll (William H. Macy), bästa foto (Roger Deakins) och bästa klippning ("Roderick Jaynes" = Joel Coen och Ethan Coen). Den vann till slut två Oscars, en för bästa kvinnliga huvudroll (Frances McDormand) och en för bästa originalmanus (Joel Coen och Ethan Coen).

William H. Macy var så pass intresserad av att spela den efter pengar så desperate bilförsäljaren Jerry Lundegaard i filmen att han provspelade för rollen två gånger, vilket han berättade för Entertainment Weekly 2016. Först provspelade han i Los Angeles och sedan följde han efter bröderna Coen till New York för en andra provspelning efter att ha fått reda på att de skulle anordna med provspelningar även där. Macy ville inte att Joel och Ethan Coen skulle sabba projektet genom att ge rollen till någon annan, eftersom han ansåg sig själv som gjord för att spela Jerry Lundegaard.

I en scen i filmen går Jerry Lundegaard till sin bil på en öde och snöig parkeringsplats för att sedan helt tappa besinningen medan han skrapar bort frost från bilens vindruta med en isskrapa, vilket Macy tyckte var en scen som stämde väl överens med hans eget lynne.

Skådespelare

Musik

Musiken till filmen komponerades av Carter Burwell som tidigare gjort musiken till bröderna Coens filmer Blood Simple (1984), Arizona Junior (1987), Miller's Crossing (1990), Barton Fink (1991) och Strebern (1994). Fargos musikaliska huvudtema – Fargo, North Dakota – är baserat på den norska folkmusikanten Annbjørg Liens låt Den bortkomne sauen ("Det förlorade fåret") från hennes album Felefeber från 1994. Musiken gavs ut på skiva av TVT Soundtrax 1996, tillsammans med musik från bröderna Coens tidigare film Barton Fink som Burwell också gjort musiken till.

Darryl Cater på AllMusic gav skivan 4.5 poäng av 5 möjliga och poängterade att Burwells "mörka mystiska orkestreringar" spelar en "signifikativ stilistisk roll" i Fargo.

Låtlista
Spår 1–16 från Fargo. Spår 17–24 från Barton Fink.

Dorms: Depending on your situation, you may or may not end up living in a dorm. This is where you will be able to meet friend's outside of class. There's no need to become try and force the issue and attempt to go around making friends with every single person in your dorm. Chances are, you 'll see most of these people on a daily basis, and that alone sets the groundwork for friendships to be built organically.
Student Clubs: Many universities have a variety of interest based clubs and associations. Taking advantage of this resource is a great way to meet and mingle with others. If you're someone who has trouble meeting new people, go sign up for a club – it's a good opportunity to meet new people in natural way and can help you develop a health social life.
Events & Parties: Take advantage of all the events and parties that take place on campus. Just because you go to something with one person does not mean you have to cling to them all night (or all day). Putting yourself out there a little bit and having fun at a party is a great way to get to know new people.
Attitude is everything when it comes to meeting new people in college. No one likes a Debbie downer. Take a few risks and put yourself out there a little. You'll be surprised by how far you can get just by being confident and friendly.
If you're shy, take it one step at a time. Try to approach people individually, versus in a large group. To begin with, you might want to try making small talk with your roommate (if you have one). After you get to know your roommate, slowly expand your circle outwards – get to know people down the hall. There's no need to rush. Take your time and work at your own pace. Over time you will become more comfortable with the people around you and you'll slowly get over your shyness.
If you're a freshman and worried about making friends – think about it this way – pretty much everyone else in your year is in the exact same position you are. They're also looking to make friends – it's not like you're the only one. Making friends and meeting people in Freshman year can be challenging for a lot of people, but don't let it stress you out too much – join clubs, talk to people in your classes and in your dorm, and eventually you'll find a way to build up your social circle.
You should also try to arrive on campus a little early if possible. Get comfortable with the campus environment – this will remove one source of anxiety for you when class actually starts and you begin meeting new people. It's also a great way to be helpful – many freshmen won't really know their way around, so if someone is wondering where a particular building or lecture hall is, you can point them in the right direction.
Colleges and universities also typically try to give you opportunities to connect with people before you actually start school. Take advantage of these opportunities! You can talk to people online or even meet people who live in your area who are attending the same school. Don't shy away from official school initiatives – many of them are designed to make your life easier as a freshman (and beyond). Attend orientations in your local area before school starts if they're available, and if you get a 'buddy' or 'pen-pal' of any sort before you arrive on campus, it can't hurt to reach out to them.
On top of taking advantage of opportunities to meet people before your first semester officially begins, you should also try your best to attend events that are targeted specifically towards freshmen – these events are purposely set up for you to meet people, and what's more, if you don't attend these events, you might miss out on the more informal stuff that happens afterwards! Most people you meet in college will be reasonably nice and reasonably interesting, so don't be averse to attending structured events to meet people.
If you're entering college as a transfer student, you're at a bit of disadvantage socially – everybody else has already had time to settle in and form social circles. One solution might be to try out for Greek life. By becoming a member of a fraternity or sorority, you get the opportunity to meet a lot of people If you manage to get in, you've basically got a built-in social life, and even if you don't manage to make it into the fraternity or sorority that you pledged, chances are you'll have met a ton of new people (and done some pretty silly things) by the time you're done.
Another way to develop a social life as a transfer is to find clubs and activities that cater to your interested and hobbies – or you might want to join a club of society that specifically caters to transfer students.. Your school might actually organize events or gatherings that are designed to help transfer students get accustomed to their new campus life – make sure that you attend these events – you'll meet others who are in a similar position to you and that's generally a good starting off point for friendship.
Just because you live off campus and have a commute doesn't mean you can't make friends. All it means is that you need to plan your day more carefully than others. If your classes all end at 4:00pm for instance, try staying on campus and participating in some kind of activity or club rather than going straight home.
Consider getting in touch with people and meeting them in between classes to hang out. It's not impossible to make friends if you commute; you just need to make a little bit more effort in how you do it.
Things like Reddit and Facebook are huge on college campuses. Look up your school's local subreddit or Facebook page. Don't be shy to comment either. By joining in the discussions, you can get to know people and maybe even meet them on campus offline. Technology gives you an opportunity to meet people that you may have never crossed paths with otherwise..
Class is an obvious place to meet people. Consider reaching out to form a study group. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone – it can help your grades and help you meet new people.
Firstly, Be Confident! Even if you have to fake it till you make it, confidence is important. No one will know who you are unless you make yourself known. It is important to get your name out there. Hang out in the common areas. Take your time and introduce yourself personally to different people. You have one chance to make a good first impression. Use it well.
Say Hi to Everyone! Just by saying hello and being a approachable person can earn you a boatload of friends. Even if you are just passing by, say hi to those around you. Even if you keep walking, a simple smile and hi can go a long way.
Thirdly, Listen to Others! Another good trick to is to be genuinely interested in others. People appreciate it a lot more than you think when you show interest in their lives. Talk to your peers and get to know them. Listen to what they have to say about their classes, family, and interests. Don't be that guy/girl who just talks about themselves non-stop.
The great thing about college is that it really doesn't matter if you're "popular" or not. Even small schools are generally large enough to make it impossible to know everyone. In high school, you might have been the only person interested in Japanese Kabuki theater, but colleges tend to be large enough and diverse enough that there's at least a few people who share your interests – your goal should be to find them and get to know them. You can do this by taking the right classes or joining the right clubs/societies.
If you're an introvert, you might think that you don't really have a chance of building a decent social life when you start your freshman year – but you'd be wrong. College campuses are probably the easiest places on the planet to socialize, even for the introverted, the socially anxious, and the shy. On top of that, studies have shown that college friends tend to turn into lifelong friends – so it's probably a good idea to put yourself out there even if you feel awkward about it.
Start Making Friends Early On – One good way to becoming more confident, social, and outgoing is to start making friends right away from the beginning. It doesn't matter if you're introverted or extroverted. One great way to make friends quickly is to show up to the first few meetings/events of a club or society. College societies tend to be extremely welcoming to new joiners, so you should be embraced with open arms.
Form a Study Group – Being in charge of a study group will improve your grades, and it'll also will give you a chance to meet people with no real social expectations or pressure. If you're a bit of a bookworm, your study buddies will love you for helping them out – you can nerd out without fear of being judged. Most college students take their education seriously and will like and respect others who do the same.
Get a Campus Job – With a job on campus you can earn extra money and get to know your coworkers. This can also help you decide what you might want to do (or what you don't want to do) after you graduate. Being sociable at your campus job will allow you to meet others and make money at the same time.
College campuses are probably the easiest places on the planet to socialize, even for the introverted, the socially anxious, and the shy.
College is about meeting new people and learning new things, but more than anything it's about preparing you for adulthood – and one part of being an adult is have basic interpersonal and social skills, even if you're shy or introverted. Chances are, after you graduate, you'll need to be able to interview for jobs and figure out how to interact with colleagues in your workplace – think of the social aspect of college as preparation for that. Social skills are a huge part of being a well rounded person, and the college campus is a perfect opportunity for you to mak sure that you're well equipped with these skills.
What Is College Life Really Like?
College is an opportunity for growth and learning. Unlike high school, people are in college by choice and take it a whole lot more seriously than high school.
This can make the college environment much more enjoyable for a lot of people.. The variety and diversity that you'll experience on campus is probably unlike anything you've seen before. Regardless of what you're interested in, be it sports, Greek life, academic research, politics – chances are, there's a group of people on your college campus who're interested in the same things as you are.

Q: Elasticsearch 6.1 multi index search with nested fields issue I run a multi index search (elasticsearch 6.1.1) in 2 indexes with nested field,
"uniqueID" is a nested field that exist only in person index.
"pobox" is a nested field that exist only in adress index

A: Well, the nested structure you try to query on one index doesn't exist on the other, so what do you expect?
IMO you should split the queries up and use _msearch if you always need those together.

Muscles attach to bones via their rope-like extensions called tendons. When muscles contract they pull the tendons and hence our joints bend.
For tendons to glide smoothly through tissue they run through lubricated tissue (synovial tissue) In the hands, this tissue is well formed into tunnels which are reinforced with pulleys to make the tunnel extra strong and act to guide the tendons around the curves of the hand and fingers when the joints are placed in different positions.
If there is swelling around the tendon or in the tunnel (so called 'synovitis', 'tenosynovitis' or 'stenosing tenosynovitis') then the tendons gliding is impeded and the tendon movement becomes difficult, jerky ('triggering') or jammed.
Sometimes the swelling can be set off following an injury and sometimes by an underlying medical problem eg. Rheumatoid arthritis.
It is also commonly associated with problems like carpal tunnel syndrome and occurs more commonly in people with diabetes.
The exact causal mechanism in most people however is often a mystery and unless an association or cause is clear, or the problem repetitive, a cause is usually not chased.
REST – Initially simple treatment involving anti-inflammatories and resting the finger (sometimes with the help of a splint) will be used. If the problem doesn't settle quickly over 3-4 weeks then other intervention is usually necessary.
INJECTION – If you have not had the problem before and there is no underlying medical problem precipitating things there is an 80% chance a single steroid injection will settle the problem long term. About 20% of people will have an inadequate outcome or will return with a recurrence.


Meet the leader of the pack -- The Boss, one of the five members of the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band litter. This darling litter of pups was surrendered to an area shelter, as their owner was no longer able to care for them. They are absolutely priceless and we are thrilled that we got the opportunity to choose the perfect families for each of them! We believe they are mostly field-bred springers with a splash of pointer and full tails. They are very closely bonded, so please consider adopting a pair if you're looking for twice the fun!
All the pups will need large yards and plenty of daily exercise where they can really stretch their legs. We do prefer they go to a family with another young, active dog as they do love to play. They have had limited socialization so time and patience will be needed for them to settle into a family and home. We suspect they have been sequestered to the backyard all of their lives. They, however, are quickly acclimating to "the good life." As with all pups, they will need obedience training to become the best dogs they can be.
The Boss is the boys' "go to" guy for everything, the most confident of the group. They are always following his lead. If they want to play, they go to him. They tend to follow him everywhere. He is truly adorable!
The Boss is neutered and current on puppy shots, although he will need one more booster after adoption. He is microchipped for safekeeping.
If you would like to give The Boss a dream home, please contact his foster mom.
We do not place puppies as presents or surprises. The entire prospective adopting family needs to meet The Boss. Also, please remember that puppies require a lot of care, attention, and training, and they do chew on things. The decision to get a puppy and raise it to be a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted dog is a serious commitment.
Due to this puppy's age, all out-of-state adopters must come to the state of Texas to retrieve their puppy. Puppies under six months of age will not be allowed to fly in the cargo area of a commercial aircraft. They will be allowed to travel in the main cabin area under the front of the seat of their adopter following FAA and airline regulations.
Please submit an Online Adoption Application if you are interested in The Boss. It is always the first step in our adoption process.

Hendrik Teun Teunissen van Manen (1918), designer. Teunissen van Manen was born in Haarlem and attended the Institute for Applied Arts Education (IvKNO) in Amsterdam (1936-41) and weekend courses on industrial design at the Academy of Art in The Hague. He was a co-founder of the Stichting Nieuwe Wooncultuur ('New Living Culture Foundation') and Goed Wonen ('Quality Living'), and from 1946 he worked as a graphic designer for Vrij Nederland (until 1950), International Textiles (1948-59), the Jaarbeurs and various exhibitions. During the '50s he designed for Mepal, cabinet manufacturer Van Wijk & Visser and publisher Contact. In 1957 he started working for weaving mill De Ploeg in Bergeyk where he was introduced by Coen de Vries. There he was the head of design matters and he was responsible for the house style as well as the fair presentations until 1970. He also provided printed matter for the furniture factory 't Spectrum, affiliated to De Ploeg. Teunissen van Manen received the Duwaer prize in 1964 for his work for De Ploeg and he was also active as a teacher at the Eindhoven Academy of Industrial Design (1960-1964), at schools in Düsseldorf (from 1969) and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (from 1978). Baer Cornet, who was deeply impressed by Teunissen van Manen's work, started taking his courses. Teunissen van Manen was a member of the GKf (Association of Practitioners of Applied Arts) and the NIDf, but his efforts in these organisations occasionally led to internal conflicts in which the board had to step in as an arbitrator.

Q: Is there a way to specify generic Cucumber tests which can be included into a feature? Is there a way to reuse cucumber scenarios across multiple features which each share the same UI characteristics?
For example if I am creating an iPhone app then I would have certain tests that I would like to run for each table view screen regardless of what is actually being displayed. These would be add a new row, delete a row, reorder etc.
Copying and pasting these into each feature breaks DRY. Is there a way to specify generic or templated tests in cucumber which I can include into each features that requires them?

A: Don't think of BDD as testing. Think of it as providing a set of examples which show why your app is valuable and how you can use it.
If the app uses the same code for each table, all you need is one example. I would expect it to be phrased something like:
Given Quentin has three films listed
When he adds "Kill Bill" to the film list
Then he should be reminded that he already owns it.

Given Quentin has mistakenly added "Twilight" to his favourite films
When he deletes it from the film list
Then it should no longer be in the table.

The more interesting and human you can make the scenarios, the more you'll be able to work out why your application is valuable. That's the real heart of BDD - not testing, but knowing why you're writing the code in the first place.
Talking to people who really want the app will help you find out what it should do - and if you're writing it on your own, buy a rubber duck!

'90 Day Fiance': Libby's Sister Jenn Trimmed-Down – Cut Peasant Food Out of Her Diet
October 5, 2020 Jessica Almeida 1117 Views
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After star Jennifer Potthast (the sister of Elizabeth Potthast) recently showed off her more toned figure. She shared with fans that she has been making changes to her lifestyle to better her health. However, Jennifer hasn't been sticking to a specific diet – but you can bet the type of Moldavian food she mocked on the TLC show isn't part of her new regime. But, she is happy with her results.
90 Day Fiance: Jennifer Potthast Flaunts Toned Appearance
Jennifer Potthast shared that she has focused on her health. The 90 Day Fiance castmate showed off her firmer physique in a photo. She said that "it's nice having photos side by side" to see her progress. According to Jennifer, it can be hard to notice a difference in your weight without stepping on a scale. However, she avoids focusing on the number. She knows that she won't be seeing the number that she wants right away. So, she said, "why put the added pressure" on yourself.
The 90 Day Fiance reality star judges her progress based on how she feels. Jennifer Potthast said the improvement is about how she feels and how her clothes fit. It's not about how much weight she has lost. Although, she does admit that it's good to put a number to your progress once in a while. But, Jennifer believes that pounds lost shouldn't be all you look at because numbers can mislead. Instead, she thinks it's more about how you feel.
Jennifer Switches up Eating Habits
Jennifer Potthast also shared the changes she made to what she eats. The 90 Day Fiance cast member said that she swapped to eating "real food." What does that mean? She ditched processed food that has less "nutritional value." TLC's Jennifer said that she now only eats whole foods and things "from the earth." And it seems to be working for the sibling of Elizabeth Potthast.
90 Day Fiance's Jennifer Potthast revealed that consuming better food has been beneficial. For her, it's not about limiting what she eats. It's about choosing food that is good for you. Jennifer said that she doesn't count calories or count macros. She also doesn't keep a log of her meals. Instead, she has been making smart decisions about what she puts in her body. However, Jennifer hasn't just been eating healthier.
90 Day Fiance Celeb Challenges Herself in the Gym
Jennifer Potthast is no stranger when it comes to spending time in the gym. She said that she loves working out and always has. According to Jenn, she could "workout every day" if she could. But, she forces herself to take a day off a week. Jennifer never had a problem exercising. It was her diet that gave her problems. When it comes to going to the gym, she said that she loves to challenge herself. She also likes to see how far she can push herself to get what she wants from her body.
The 90 Day Fiance TLC star admitted that it's not always easy sticking to a healthy lifestyle. However, Jennifer Potthast said that it's all about keeping a balance. She treats herself once in a while. But, Jennifer said that changing what you eat and exercising can make a difference. We have to wonder if any of what she called "peasant food" from Moldova is on her new diet…
