Blue Is the Warmest Color (France, 2013) [ IMDB:8.1, Rotten Tomatoes: 89%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2OLRrocn3s
The winner of Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2013 is a bold and provocative movie which stretches the boundaries of what a mainstream movie can depict. Already controversial for the agony it caused to the actresses during the filming, the film dwells on the relationship between two woman. The film follows the intense relationship between the characters over a decade. Surprisingly for a running length close to three hours the movie still holds your attention and is a tour de force. Highly recommended for highly mature audiences.
Persepolis (France, 2007) [ IMDB: 8.0, Rotten tomatoes: 96%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ22VyjJ6n8
The coming off age story of a girl during the Islamic revolution in Iran. Based on the autobiographical account of the co-writer of the screenplay, the film is as political as it is personal. The non conformism of the girl and her willingness to fight for herself even when she veers off course is told in a poignant and heartfelt way. Even if we take Iran out of the picture, the story should resonate with any girl in any part of the world willing to stand up for what she believes in. Hence, calling it a fine picture from Iran would be an injustice. Calling it a must see movie will be just about just.
Saving Mr. Banks (2013) [ IMDB: 7.8, Rotten Tomatoes: 90%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5kYmrjongg
'Saving Mr. Banks' is the back story to the making of 'Mary Poppins' by Walt Disney. The thing that hits you immediately is the passion Disney brings to making movies but his passion is matched equally by the stubbornness of Miss Travers (as she would like to be called), the author of 'Mary Poppins'. There is nothing exceptional about the movie but it does shed light on the autobiographical nature of the work. Emma Thompson pulls off a fine performance and Tom Hanks is competent in his role as Walt Disney. I particularly liked the scene where he convinces Miss Travers to sign on the dotted line. He gives the ultimate sales pitch but the thing with sales pitches is that it is dependent on whether the listener is in a mood to even think about what is being offered, as I found out the hard way quite recently. Coming back to the movie, it is not a great one but certainly worth a watch.
Fruitvale Station (2013) [ IMDB: 7.6, Rotten Tomatoes: 94%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxUJwJfcQaQ
In a year where there was a miscarriage of justice in the Trayvon Martin case, this film sheds light on a true event which happened a few years earlier but has the same undertones of the inequality that African Americans face in the Land of the Free. As a piece of art the movie is not worth much but it has a compelling story to tell. Here the victim is not a teenager wet behind the ears but a young father who is seeking out a better life for his family. The film does build its case by showing us the good Samaritan the victim was. The movie is not a must watch but then I recommend it.
Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) [ IMDB: 6.9, Rotten Tomatoes: 81%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuojHqfe4Vk
The story of a butler in the White House who goes about his work over decades under different Presidents during times of great social turmoil. Forest Whitaker is an actor who is a joy to watch on screen. Even when the movie has an uneven tempo, he just keeps things from falling apart. An above average flick which has a standout performance from the protagonist.
John Ford Retrospective
John Ford is one of the greatest directors ever, with four Oscars for the Best Director. The funny thing is that I consider 'The Searchers' (reviewed here https://couldhavebeenacontender.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/week-12/) to be his greatest work but he did not even get a nomination for it. I think that compensates for the fact that he undeservedly took Oscar for 'How Green Way My Valley' beating Orsen Welles (for 'Citizen Kane').
The Grapes of Wrath (1940) [IMDB: 8.2, Rotten Tomatoes: 100%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ayi81QMuak
'The Grapes of Wrath' is the kind of movie which no one makes nowadays because it may be considered too socialist in theme and socialism is an ideology that Americans fear more than the plague. The story is set in the Great Depression. A family tries to stay together and live with dignity in the economic gloom sweeping the nation. Watching such movies is also a reminder that certain movies deserve a one word description: 'Classic'. Also, hope is a good thing.
How Green Was My Valley (1941) [ IMDB: 7.8, Rotten Tomatoes: 89%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7CV9SZovfU
A sentimental take on a mining town which has seen much better days, 'How Green Was My Valley' upstaged 'Citizen Kane' at the Oscars mainly because of the heavy propaganda that was unleashed against Orson Welles. Still, the film is a classic in its own right with very strong performances and a solid screenplay. Must see.
The Quiet Man (1952) [ IMDB: 7.9, Rotten Tomatoes: 93%]
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH4OFXlvzKA
A boxer returns from America to his home in Ireland where he finds true love and also things he had not quite bargained for. He also has a mysterious past. John Wayne carries the film on his shoulders (no pun intended) in this breezy romantic comedy. The good thing is unlike many of the old romantic comedies which have become dated, 'The Quite Man' has an appeal which is as fresh as it was when it first hit the screens.
The Men Who Made Us Fat (2012) [ MDB: 8.1, Rotten Tomatoes: Not Listed]
No documentary has made me think more than this three part series from BBC on food and the way it has changed over time. Hats off to BBC for showing the guts to finance such a project. A must watch for anyone who eats food.
Eagerly Waiting for: 'The Invisible Woman' because it is on Charles Dickens and the combination of literature and cinema is a heady one.
Did you know: 'Iron Man 3' (2013) was released in China with four minutes of additional footage starring Chinese actors and local product placements.

Financial Shelter vs. Human Shelter
In the years running up to 2007, Fergus and Judith Wilson were practically buying one house a day, gathering a hefty portfolio of over 1000 properties. In startling comparison, last year Halifax reported over a fifth (21%) of 20-45 year olds believe it is virtually impossible for first-time buyers to obtain a mortgage.
This week, the Wilson's sold their extensive property portfolio to the tune of over £250 million, the buyer is reported to be a foreign multinational consortium. In a bizarre statement issued by Mr Wilson he said "Buy to let became an obsession for Fergus Wilson. He is a self-confessed BTL junkie. Each day I must have my daily fix. I look up prices and say to myself what a lucky man I am." adding "Owning BTL became a hobby for Fergus Wilson that simply got out of control. He says BTL is the national hobby and is followed by millions. Whether you are a tenant or an owner occupier or indeed a BTL landlord you have an interest in the letting industry for letting industry is what it is."
Now although back in 2014, The Wilson's were the target of public outrage when they issued eviction notices to every one of their 200 tenants on welfare, they have said that this sale will make no difference to their existing tenants. However, with the UK property market increasingly being used as an investment for the overseas rich, what sort of effect does it have on tenants?
So as you well know, housing in the UK is in a bit of trouble; too much demand, not enough supply - and everyone has various people they think are to blame, one of which is foreign investors. Firstly, let's explain why foreign investors come to England and in particular park their money in the capital.
David G Green & Daniel Bentley from the think tank CIVITAS put it down to the fact that in comparison to Asia, Russia, the Middle East and parts of Europe '(London's) tax regime is preferable, the legal system is transparent and the property market has performed consistently well. The UK has been a relatively stable part of the world amid such uncertainties as the Eurozone debt crisis and the Arab Spring. The exchange rate for sterling also gives London property an edge for international investment portfolios. London is now the favourite city in the world for real estate investment opportunities among overseas investors, according to the latest annual survey by the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE)'.
This has led London to be described by American writer Michael Goldfarb as "a global reserve currency" adding that "the property market is no longer about people making a long-term investment in owning their shelter, but a place for the world's richest people to park their money at an annualized rate of return of around 10%" and this is exactly what is happening in the capital.
These investors and their empty apartments have ended up pricing almost everyone but themselves out of the centre of London, leading to what Julie Stott described in The Guardian as the 'exodus afoot in London' in which London's families are forced to relocate to Nottinghamshire, Hampshire and, The Wilson's old stomping ground, Kent because the prices are just too high in the city.
Although Fergus and his wife have got something of a bad reputation due to their past, at least they were investing in homing people, even if they were a little too selective about it. The issue now is that these properties are being bought and left dormant in the hope of protecting the investment - making supply and demand continue to drop out of balance and thus making it very difficult for people to afford to live and work in the city.
Mr. Green and Mr.Bentley from CIVITAS sum it up all too well in saying 'for too many (the capital) is providing financial shelter rather than human shelter.'
Rate your landlord, review your letting agent, let other renters know what your experience was like. Be the voice of change.

Since "Parenthood" went on the air, we've praised the NBC drama for its deft and insightful depictions of family dynamics. But we've also knocked it at times because the show's writers so often fail to get the essence of Berkeley.
I thought things were getting a little better: I actually heard a character the other night refer to riding BART without putting a "the" in front of it. But fellow staff writer Chris O'Brien complains about a plot line that has a young man running for Berkeley City Council. His gripe? The size and scope of the campaign is so "laughably off the mark" that it's driving he and his wife crazy.
I would like to invite you to one day visit the real Berkeley, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. While it's allegedly the location of Parenthood, your fundamental lack of knowledge of the place has gone beyond a distraction into outright annoyance. All shows take liberties, but the sheer laziness in this case has become unbearable at times.
The main source of the frustration is the storyline involving Bob Little running for Berkeley City Council. When he first appeared this season, my wife and I thought he must be running for some statewide office given the size of his campaign staff. But no! He's running for Berkeley City Council! This is so painfully absurd, it has become hard to watch the show.
Bob Little appears to have at least a couple of dozen people working in his campaign office. And in one fundraiser featured in the latest episode he raised a huge sum of cash: $130,000! In one night!
Reality check: The top vote getter in the 2010 Berkeley City Council race scored 3,727 votes. The top fundraiser nabbed about $36,798. These are small town seats, at the end of the day. Big ticket fundraisers at richy-rich mansions? Just doesn't happen.
Even if you don't visit Berkeley this decade, you could find most of this information via a neat service on the Internet called, "Google." In this case, you could have just made the guy a candidate for a statewide office, or U.S. House of Reps. Something where a person might actually hire a full-time campaign manager and attract interns from Georgetown and Harvard.
Love the show, but please, please, at least make some attempt to remain connected to a semblance of reality if you're going to keep pretending these people live in Berkeley.
Good news for fans of "Parenthood": NBC has renewed the Berkeley-set family drama for a second season.
The midseason replacement series starring Peter Krause and Lauren Graham debuted shortly after the Olympics and has built solid, if not scintillating, ratings ever since.
"It's gratifying that 'Parenthood' continues to garner critical acclaim and is generating highly positive reaction from viewers, thanks to the fearless creativity of its producers and the extraordinary performances delivered by its ensemble cast," NBC U entertainment chief Angela Bromstad said in a statement.
Now that "Parenthood" has a new lease on life, maybe its writers can start infusing it with more of a Berkeley vibe. Though the show isn't actually shot in the East Bay, it is set there, but doesn't exactly "get it" when it comes to capturing the color and quirks of Berkeley. Here's one blogger's opinion on what the show does wrong.
I checked out The Atheon, the new installation by conceptual artist Jonathan Keats, yesterday in Berkeley by the Berkeley Public Library. You know, the art piece that has been blogged about on Boing Boing, Wired, and Discover Magazine. Pretty impressive stuff, huh?
Oh, you can't see anything but windows? Let me give you a closer look.
I finally got on over to UC Berkeley Friday to check out the Associated Press' "American President" exhibit in the Graduate School of Journalism's North Gate Hall.
Some of the photos, like the one pictured left of Judge Robert Rosenberg using a magnifying glass to examine a disputed paper ballot in Florida by AP's Alan Diaz, are so iconic that I actually recognized and remembered them. Others, from photos of Abraham Lincoln (man was he tall!) to pictures of Maime Eisenhower, I had never seen before.
The fact is, AP photographers seem to have been everywhere at all times. They were there when John Hinckley, Jr. tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan in 1981. The photo in the exhibit is terrifying as Secret Service agents are on the ground nursing bullet wounds and Hinckley is surrounded by other agents, guns drawn.
There are beautiful pictures of John F. Kennedy, who was before my time, arriving in Dallas just a short time before he was shot and killed. And, of course, there are photos of the aftermath of Kennedy's killing including a heartbreaking portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy receiving the flag that covered her husband's casket during his funeral service.
While some of the photos were quite fun – I really like the shot of Nixon and Elvis together – the entire exhibit reminded me how dangerous it is to be President of the United States. I spent the time returning to my car thinking about how hard of a job it is and wondering, really, why anyone would want to do it.
Stop by the exhibit if you're in Berkeley near the UC campus. North Gate Hall is at Hearst and Euclid Avenues. Vistiting the exhibit is free and it is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.
I'm at Bowzer's Pizza in downtown Berkeley. They have two games of Madden NFL going. The crowd is raucous as fans wait for the game to come out.
There are 14 players in the tournament. To speed things along, the GameStop employees customized the games with two-minute quarters. Everyone is playing for $15 gift certificates that are awarded to the first- and second-place finishers.
But as it gets closer to midnight, I don't know how much longer people will want to wait.
Former Cal Bear DeSean Jackson (and new Phildelphia Eagle) will grace the cover of NCAA 09 for the PlayStation 2. He joins new Oakland Raider Darren McFadden, Seattle Seahawk's Owen Schmitt and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan as the upcoming cover athletes. The game comes out July 15.


For those who are wondering, I am still writing on book 2. I just reached the 50% point of my first draft to Book 2, which is a big deal.
I thought I would jump in and drop and excerpt from what is currently the first chapter of Book 2.
I stepped just behind and to the left of Lexy. Kendra stepped in front and to the right of her. Lexy shifted her stance and posture, making herself appear more regal. Alexis knew exactly how to own her new Princess title. I don't think either Kendra or I portrayed royalty with our stances like she did. Still, we positioned ourselves as best we could. As Princess Alexis's generals, it was our job to guard and protect her. Kendra stood to her front and I stood just at her rear—which by the way gave me the better view. Yes, Lexy wore her usual tight leather pants. Kendra had dressed similarly tonight—despite her modesty protests—and her backside had my attention, too. Lexy also wore her low-cut bustier, the one that tied in front with strings. I could see her ribbon-bow tattoo in the space between her pants and her top. Kendra had borrowed Lexy's full leather shirt, the one with a high neck and long sleeves. Being a few inches shorter than Lexy and drill-team thin, Kendra's borrowed leather pants and shirt weren't tight.
They both disabled their separation stones and joined my thoughts. Oops. They caught me looking.
Seriously? Kendra didn't turn back and glare at me because she didn't have to. Her mind scolded me with both her thoughts and feelings. That didn't make much sense to me because just over a week ago, she wore a white, string bikini just for me and had every intention of me noticing. I didn't get how she didn't want me to notice her now when she was dressed with far less immodesty.
Things are different now! Kendra answered my thought.
I also caught a hint of guilt as she thought of wearing a bikini for me that day.
You tempted me to where it!
Great, now she blamed me for tempting her into breaking her usually modesty standards.
I didn't ask you to wear it, I reminded her.
Focus! Princess Alexis ordered, but she could see my memory of Kendra in her white bikini juxtaposed against her own memory of Kendra demanding to wear a modest leather outfit and a single thought formed: Hypocrite.

Q: Letters change when saving tab into shp in QGIS I am working in QGIS 2.18. When I open and then save a .tab file as .shp file I get different symbols in the letters of the attribute table. I don't know what coding option I should use in order to see the original letters (Spanish alphabet symbols: ñ, accents, etc...).

By default the "save vector layer as..." dialog window chooses UTF-8.

I already tried some other options but I get unreadable text, so I rather ask before I do something that hurts the file.
In fact, when I open the .tab file in MapInfo I can see it correctly. Is it something related to the system settings of the program (QGIS/MapInfo)?

A: You can use ISO 8859-1 encoding to read Spanish text correctly (along with various other countries).

Dr. Leah Matson, an alumna of AULA's BA in Liberal Studies program with a concentration in psychology and a longtime instructor in the Undergraduate Studies program, was recently featured in multiple media outlets. A client of Dr. Matson's, Dr. Michelle Stevens, wrote a book Scared Selfless: My Journey from Abuse and Madness to Surviving and Thriving which features their work together. Both Drs. Matson and Stevens appeared on the Dr. Phil show, and were featured in People and First For Women magazines.

In a bowl stir together the wafer crumbs, the sugar, and the butter until the mixture is combined well, pat the mixture onto the bottom and up the side of a buttered 9-inch pie plate, and bake the crust in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 5 minutes. Let the crust cool.
In a metal bowl mix in the gelatin with a 1/3 cup of the cream and let it soften for 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, the crème de menthe, the crème de cacao, and the egg yolks, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 160°F. on a candy thermometer. Transfer the bowl to a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir the mixture until it is cooled and thickened. In another bowl beat the remaining 1 cup cream until it holds stiff peaks and fold it into the crème de menthe mixture thoroughly.
Pour the filling into the crust and chill the pie for 4 hours, or until is set. Dollop with whipped cream and sprinkle the pie with the chocolate cookie crumbs.
We were shooting a lemon meringue pie this week at the photo studio and I wanted to share with you this beautiful pie that the food stylist Barb Standal created. I wish I could say I could bake such a well crafted crust and wield a lovely swirl top, but I can only admire the skills of Barb. I did get to be a part of the Meringue testing that took place a few days before the photo shoot, they tested four different meringue recipes to test how they performed when baked. So of course we had to do a taste test along the way. One was too sweet, one was too saggy, one was too eggy and one was just right. I will share with you the recipe of the winner..Cuz Betty know's best. The winner was no other than the classic Betty Crocker. Hopefully this might inspire you to bake this beautiful pie a nice treat.
1: Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
2: Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix 1 1/4 cups sugar, the cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in cold water until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
3: In small bowl, beat egg yolks with fork. Stir about 1/4 cup of hot mixture into egg yolks. Gradually stir yolk mixture into hot mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4: Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon peel and lemon juice. Cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Pour into cooled baked shell.
5: Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. In small deep bowl with electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on medium speed about 1 minute or until soft peaks form. On high speed, gradually beat in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spoon meringue onto hot filling; spread to edge of crust to seal well and prevent shrinkage.
6: Bake at 350°F 12 to 15 minutes or until meringue is light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until filling is set, about 3 hours. Store in refrigerator.
FYI: Eggs separate most easily when they are cold, but the whites will whip best at room temperature. To take off the chill, set the bowl of whites into a larger pan filled with warm water.
I have one more Rhubarb pie recipe to share with you. And my super cute niece, enjoying some desert pretty much says it all. The joy of a delicious dessert, I believe she is working on her seconds.
This pie is easy to make and I added fresh chopped up ginger to the crumble, you can never have enough ginger.
Thanksgiving was last weekend, which means lots of baking and over eating. Everyone brings their homemade recipes to share. I have been known as the desert girl for many years. This year my mother in-law made this awesome Pecan Pie. I got to watch and snap a few pictures. The part I enjoyed the most about this pie was all the chopped up pecans in the pie filling. She demonstrated the crimping of the crust and the careful placement of the pecans on top. It was as tasty as it was pretty. I was doing pretty good, didn't go for seconds. But when it came to desert that was all I had left in me. It was delicious.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured board, roll out the pastry to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Place the pastry in a 9-inch pie plate that has been set on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and press it into the bottom edges and along the sides. Trim the pastry using scissors or a sharp paring knife. Crimp or decorate the edges of the pastry, if desired. Transfer to freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
Coarsely chop 1 1/4 cups pecans; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggs granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk to combine. Add dark and light corn syrups, butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Add chopped pecans, and stir to combine. Pour into prepared crust.
Arrange remaining 1 1/4 cups pecan halves decoratively over top of pie. Bake on a Silpat-lined baking sheet until crust is golden, filling is firm, and a cake tester inserted in center of pie comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.
Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until mixture just begins to hold together.

From Incredibles 2 © Pixar Animation Studios / All rights reserved.
In The Incredibles, such a fate would be worse than the destruction of the world. The drama of the film revolves around whether the supers will be allowed to be extraordinary or if society will instead enshrine mediocrity in the name of fairness. Some of this is a baby boomer critique of the "everyone gets a trophy" style of Gen X parenting. But there is also an undercurrent of Ayn Rand–style philosophizing that felt a little disquieting even in 2004. The message "let the extraordinary people be extraordinary" is always tinged with classism, sexism, and racism whenever applied to the real world. In a country where everyone is encouraged to think of themselves as potentially extraordinary, privilege is often mistaken for giftedness.
This shift is signaled by centering the action on Elastigirl, the wife and mother in the Incredibles family. Unlike her husband, Mr. Incredible, whose super-strength tends to leave a path of destruction in its wake, Elastigirl is capable of stopping a runaway train with minimal destruction and zero casualties. She is also a team player, willing to collaborate with others and taking her time before rushing into action. She makes a perfect foil to the new villain, Screenslaver.
As in the original, the villain in Incredibles 2 is out to ruin superheroes, but this time her reasoning is different. Superheroes, she argues, are a sign that we have abdicated our responsibility to society for the sake of being entertained. Out to both expose and exploit those addicted to entertainment, the villain Screenslaver uses screens to hypnotize her victims.
Screenslaver is a complicated and perhaps incoherent villain. On the one hand, she is snobbishly dismissive of the weakness of ordinary people. On the other hand, her critique of entertainment culture and the abdication of responsibility is merited. Sometimes she sounds like Paul Ryan knocking poor people for not buying expensive health care, but at other times she offers a clear-eyed critique of what it is like to live in a social media bubble, trading the hard work of democracy for the comfort of an already formed worldview.
The movie can't decide if Screenslaver is a real villain or on to something important. But this might be because Incredibles 2 is trying to do something new with the idea of the superhero. Instead of making space for exceptional superheroes in a mediocre society, superheroes must learn to temper their powers and think about the overall good they are trying to preserve.
As Mr. Incredible learns when watching video footage of the destruction his "salvation" caused, sometimes heroics destroy more than they preserve. Sometimes it is better to let humans muddle their way to a collective solution instead of thinking that superpowers can fix everything. As much as it pains his masculine pride, he has something to learn from his wife's style of heroics.
Incredibles 2 is not the only film playing with the idea that the lone superhero is not the best model for social salvation. Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story also dismantle the lone hero in favor of a collective vision of heroics. This is hard to do within the rules of the superhero genre, and all of these movies feel a little clumsy as they struggle to articulate some new rules. There is something satisfying about watching Superman swoop in and fix things, and something less satisfying about watching Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl struggle with their identities or offer only partial solutions.
But it is the Incredibles that we need more of. In reworking the old story of heroes, these films offer a clue about the kind of heroics that better fit our time of planetary peril.
Writer-director Joss Whedon, the creator of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, saves the world from destruction yet again in the first of the summer blockbusters, Marvel's The Avengers. The adventure is moderately enjoyable but rather exhausting.

Tadeuš Volanjski, (; 17. oktobar 1785 — 16. februar 1865) je bio poljski arheolog, slovenofil i autor hipoteze o slovenskome postanku Etruščana. Tadeuš Volanjski je istraživao arheološke spomenike Evrope i Severne Afrike.

Njegova pretpostavka je da su u razdoblju od 7. do 4. veka p. n. e. postojali trgovački odnosi između Starog Egipta i slovenskih zemalja. Pomoću slovenskih jezika, on je dešifrirao većinu etruščanskih natpisa, uključujući spomenik kod Krecia.

Biografija
Tadeuš Volanjski je rođen 1785. godine u gradu Šiuljaj (danas Litvanija), u porodici savetnika kralja Stanislava Avgusta. Kao oficir Napoleonove vojske, bio je nosilac ordena Legije časti.

Posle ženidbe preselio se u selo Ribitvi u Velikoj Poljskoj. Tokom tog vremena počinje da izučava slovenske i skandinavske rune, keltski novac, etrurske sarkofage i antičke spomenike u Severnoj Africi. Istraživanje runske pismenosti nastavio je ruski naučnik Valerij Čudinov.

Regional De Blasio Fires Emergency Chief Over Botched Snow Response
De Blasio Fires Emergency Chief Over Botched Snow Response
Monday, December 3, 2018 at 5:47 pm | כ"ה כסלו תשע"ט
NEW YORK (BoroPark24.com/Hamodia) -

Reeling from criticism over a six-inch snowstorm that brought the city to a standstill, Mayor Bill de Blasio has fired the commissioner of emergency management for the botched response.
Joseph Esposito was asked to resign on Friday by Laura Anglin, the deputy mayor for operations. When he refused, according to The Wall Street Journal, he was told he was fired. But he is still unsure if the firing was ordered by the mayor, who is in Vermont for a weekend event with Sen. Bernie Sanders.
"I'm in the office now," he told a New York Times reporter Monday morning.
De Blasio had been widely criticized for the response to the snowstorm in November. Thousands of commuters were stuck for hours on trips that should have taken 30 minutes. A Bronx road came to a standstill for up to ten hours and drivers slept in their cars.
The mayor blamed it alternatively on a traffic pile-up on the George Washington Bridge, fallen trees, "lousy forecasting" and "the perfect storm." He now blames it on Esposito, who had been on vacation during the storm. The Office of Emergency Management chief says he was monitoring the storm while away.
A reporter stood at the Park Slope gym frequented by de Blasio this morning and asked if Esposito was fired. The mayor did not respond.
There appeared to be an outpouring of support for Esposito on Monday as news broke of his alleged firing.
"Just this morning, I sent an email to [Esposito and his deputy, Christina Farrell] to thank them for their great work yesterday & consistent responsiveness," tweeted Councilman Chaim Deutsch. "I am completely stunned that Commissioner Esposito has been asked to resign. Time & again, he has proven himself to be excellent at his job."
Gloria Pazmino, a reporter for Politico, tweeted that "In the last hour, members of the @NYCCouncil have stopped into R9 to voice support for [Esposito]. … Total possibility Deputy Mayor fired him without getting the blessing of @NYCMayor first. Will the mayor stand by his deputy?"

Biden has Blood on His Hands: 4 Marines Killed in Afghanistan After Suicide Attack
Many Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden and his administration for the way he handled the situation in Afghanistan, more so now following a suicide bombing incident that took place outside Kabul's international airport.
The bombing resulted in the death of 10 U.S. service members – at least 4 of which were Marines – with dozens of other people sustaining injuries.
More People Slam the Biden Administration Following a Suicide Bombing Incident in Afghanistan
On Twitter, Rep. Dan Crenshaw expressed his dismay about the situation. He urged the president to "fix the mess you created" and to stop running away from it. He pointed out that the U.S. is still at war and that Biden didn't end that war. Instead, he said the president only gave "the enemy new advantage." Crenshaw then urged Biden to "Go on offense," show superiority, and to remain in the said middle-eastern country until all Americans and allies are safe.
Mr. President, fix the mess you created. Stop running from it. We are still at war. You didn't "end the war," you just gave the enemy new advantage. Go on offense, establish superiority, and don't leave until all our citizens and allies are safe. https://t.co/htKFMQ0Y0k
— Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) August 26, 2021
A second explosion also reportedly happened close to the Baron Hotel, which is near the airport.
The bouts of violence have pushed others to echo Crenshaw's criticism against the Biden administration because of how it's handling the harrowing situation in Afghanistan. Many are also sending their prayers to the American military personnel who are on the ground.
This despicable terrorist attack against innocent civilians at the Kabul airport, which injured American Marines, is a reminder of the depravity the world faces from Afghanistan.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) August 26, 2021
Please pray for the safety of all of our troops, American citizens, and Afghan allies at the Kabul airport right now. https://t.co/eOj2uoCgun
— Rep. Vicky Hartzler (@RepHartzler) August 26, 2021
On Thursday, Florida's Rep. Scott Franklin, who formerly served as a Naval aviator, told Fox News that the attack did not surprise him.
He did admit that it was hard to witness everything unfold, but he wasn't surprised. He said the ISIS-K and all the groups in that part of the world were "all intertwined, all interrelated," and that "they feed off of one another."
The Florida representative further stated that he was unsure of what they can do to help Americans get out with all the chaos ensuing. He was also unsure if the suicide bombings would reoccur and described the situation there as "a damn mess."
Many critics have slammed Biden for the past week when he decided to not extend the August 31 deadline of pulling out American troops from Afghanistan. Rep. Michael McCaul even said Biden would "have blood on his hands."
On Tuesday, during a press briefing, McCaul claimed that there is no way the U.S. can get every American and ally out of Afghanistan by August 31. He described the situation as "an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions." McCaul also thinks this would remain as a stain on Biden's presidency forever, given what he decided to do. He added that the president "will have blood on his hands, people are gonna die."

Q: Change group permission for usb device permanently I want to access a USB device ttyUSB0 from apache.
So I set:

chgrp www-data /dev/ttyUSB0

The problem is, that every time I replug the device, I have to set to do chgrp again. How can I do this?

A: I think that the best solution would be to add a rule to etc/udev/rules.d you will find tons of tutorial on how to do it. Use lsusb or dmesg to discover pid and id of your usb than create the file/rule with your text editor and with sudo mv move it in that folder

This article documents the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.

The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than that for SARS of 2003, but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.

Timeline

Although there were no suspected and confirmed cases in Tibet at the time, an Autonomous Region leadership group was established on January 27, 2020, with the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the chairman of the Autonomous Region as the group leaders, to respond to the novel coronavirus pneumonia. At the same time, Tibet declared a Level II major public health emergency response. Starting on the same day, all tourist sites in Tibet were temporarily closed, and all persons entering Tibet were required to be quarantined for 14 days in designated places. On 29 January, Tibet escalated its major public health emergency response level to Level I.

On 29 January, Tibet reported its first suspected cases, a person from Suizhou, Hubei, who took a train from Wuchang railway station to Lhasa on 22–24 January. On 30 January, the case was confirmed. On 12 February, the patient was discharged after recovery from the Third People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region. Thus, the number of active confirmed and suspected cases in Tibet decreased to zero.

Tibet had not found any further cases of COVID-19 for over two and a half years until August 7, 2022, when four travelers from Tingri County were diagnosed with COVID-19, although they were all asymptomatic. The travelers were between 47 and 61 years old. It was later reported that the total number of cases for August 7 was 22 (including one case with symptoms), many of whom entered Tibet's capital Lhasa from Shigatse. The discovery of these cases ended China's longest COVID-free streak among regions and provinces after 920 days.

In response to the new COVID-19 cases and in line with mainland China's Zero-COVID policy, the city of Shigatse imposed a three-day lockdown from August 8, during which only essential businesses are allowed to operate and all travel (inbound or outbound) is prohibited. Several buildings were also locked down in Lhasa.

perhaps as long as 100 years. They lack bones and scales which makes it more difficult to establish their age and determine exactly how long they live.
As is true for many long-lived species, pallid sturgeon reach reproductive maturity relatively late. Males reach sexual maturity between the ages of 5 and 7 years, while females are believed to become capable of reproduction when they are at least 15 years old. One study of nine females indicated that they begin egg development between the ages of 9 and 12 years, but do not reach reproductive maturity until they are 15 years old.
Reproduction does not take place every year; the average interval between spawning is three years, although other studies suggest an interval as long as ten years. Spawning usually takes place between the months of May and July. Prior to the construction of dams on the Missouri, pallid sturgeon migrated hundreds of miles upstream to spawn, and would seek out rocky or hard surfaces to deposit hundreds of thousands of eggs. One female pallid sturgeon that was caught in the upper Missouri River was estimated to be carrying 170,000 eggs, representing over 11 percent of its total body weight.
After fertilization, pallid sturgeon eggs hatch in 5 to 8 days, after which the larvae drift back downstream for several weeks. As the larvae develop tails, they seek out slower moving waterways and slowly mature over a period of a dozen years.
The rate of survival to maturity for pallid sturgeon larvae is extremely low and of the hundreds of thousands of eggs spawned, only a small handful lives to adulthood. For several decades, no natural reproduction of pallid sturgeon was observed, since all the pallid sturgeon that had been captured were older specimens.
However, in the late 1990s, young pallid sturgeon were discovered living in a restored riparian area of the lower Missouri River. This was the first documented example of wild spawned pallid sturgeon in 50 years. In 2007, two female pallid sturgeon were also reported to have spawned in the Missouri National Recreational River area located downstream from Gavins Point Dam on the Missouri River.
A pallid sturgeon crew captured a spawning female at Yellowstone River mile 6.8 on June 19, 2011 when the water temperature was 20.5 C and flow was 21,500 cfs. This is the same area where a spawning female was observed a few years ago. The spawning area is a deep swift area that was inhabited by several males. The crew sampled for free embryos and captured one in this area. The embryo was sent for genetics work and it turned out it was a pallid sturgeon but from a different non-transmittered female. So at least two females were spawning, and at least one successfully, in this area in 2011.


Please remember to fly your flag in the half-staff position on Sunday, October 5, in honor of National Fallen Firefighters' Memorial Weekend.
On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation—Public Law 107-51—requiring the U.S. flag to be lowered to half-staff on all Federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters.
Emmitsburg, MD – The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) and the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Fire Administration announce that the 27th annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend will be held October 4-5, 2008.
A plaque with the names of 101 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2007 will be added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, located here on the National Fire Academy campus.
The names of 9 firefighters who died in previous years will also be added. The plaques surrounding the Memorial, which was established in 1981, will contain the names of more than 3,200 firefighters.
Thirty-four states experienced line-of-duty deaths in 2007. Deaths resulted from many causes, including vehicle accidents while en route to or returning from emergency calls, training incidents, building collapses, being struck by objects (vehicles, trees) at the incident scene, falls, heart attacks, helicopter crashes, and burns. Six multiple fatality incidents accounted for 19 deaths. Four multiple fatality incidents occurred at structural fires, one during an explosion at a HAZMAT incident, and another in an apparatus crash en route to an emergency call. Wildland fires, controlled burns and training/ certification for wildland protection resulted in 5 fatalities. South Carolina suffered the Nation's greatest number of line-of-duty firefighter deaths in 2007 with 10, while Pennsylvania had 8, North Carolina had 8, and New York had 7.
Chief Dennis Compton, Chairman of the NFFF Board of Directors, stated: "Each year, members of the fire service, survivors of our fallen heroes, and other guests join together in Emmitsburg, Maryland, during the Memorial Weekend to honor those firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty. They travel from all over the United States to take part in this important weekend of events. It's a time of dignity, respect, and reflection for our service, and an opportunity to extend our collective love and support to the survivors. Family members, as well as fellow firefighters, learn of the services the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation has available for them and how they can stay connected to the Foundation for assistance in the future."
The photograph shown above was taken by Bill Green, of a memorial worn in honor of Alabama firefighter Matthew K. Brimer, who died in 2003.
National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and here.
Remember that Monday is Memorial Day, and the flag is flown at half-staff from dawn until noon. At noon it should be raised to the full-staff position.
If you work in a business location where the flag is flown (especially 24/7), please remind those who take care of the flag about the proper protocol for the Memorial Day holiday. It might be a kindness if you offer to share the additional obligations of this day—one person to place the flag at half-staff in the morning, and another person to raise it to full-staff at noon.
By Congressional order, the POW/MIA flag is also flown on Memorial Day at all federal installations. This flag is half-staffed with the U.S. flag.
Home owners with flags that are not easily half-staffed may attach a black ribbon to the flag pole, as a sign of remembrance and mourning. Please remember to remove it at noon.

And the final result of the CMA Petition to Deny is...
Posted by Mitchell - June 13, 2007 (entry 546)
We saw this coming for a while, and are quite surprised at the timing of this (we were expecting this after about a year, but it took a year-and-a-half).
But this afternoon, we got the official word of the ruling of the groundbreaking CMA's petition to deny filed back in November 2005. The Federal Communications Commission rejected CMA's petition.
Much more, including an official statement by CMA is forthcoming. Here is CMA's statement about the rejection.
Additional Coverage: Broadcasting & Cable | Chicago Sun-Times | Broadcast Newsroom | Chicago Indymedia | Broadcast Engineering
Analysis: The key paragraph in the ruling reads as follows:
"The petitions have not provided evidence that the named licensees exercised their editorial discretion in bad faith. Quantity is not necessarily an accurate measure of the overall responsiveness of a licensee's programming. The study provided only concerns one type of programming, local election coverage just prior to the 2004 election. It does not demonstrate that television programming in Chicago or Milwaukee has generally been unresponsive. The Commission, however, currently has pending a rulemaking seeking to standardize and enhance television broadcasters' public interest disclosure requirements. In initiating this rulemaking, the Commission has sought, in part, to promote discussions between the licensee and its community about how best to meet the local public interest obligations of the community a broadcaster serves. In the meantime, we urge all viewers and listeners, including such organizations as CMA and MPIMC, to raise their programming concerns directly with their local broadcasters."
It seems there's this operational standard of "bad faith" that's at key here. One definition of "bad faith" calls "bad faith" "[an] intentional dishonest act by not fulfilling legal or contractual obligations, misleading another, entering into an agreement without the intention or means to fulfill it, or violating basic standards of honesty in dealing with others."
What legal obligations would there be? To serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. But how is that defined? It's not, and hasn't been.
One idea for future action would be to define such a standard (Anyone interested in taking this on as a project? Contact us.). That way, the FCC or anyone can't arbitrarily move the goalposts in any action, license challenge or otherwise, concerning the public interest. Some formal policy recommendations, like an updated version of the old FCC Blue Book could help as well.

It`s only 1 day left to the CPL WT Spain event in Barcelona!
I therefore took the opportunity to feel the pulse on two gamers from the swedish bootcamp, Ztrider from e-star and Radical from team VIP.
Hopefully this could give you a hint of what their expectations are and how they feel in general for the event. Other than that some general and personal questions were asked as well..
The interviews could be find on www.team-vip.se.


No one's outside validation will ever quiet that subtle voice within you. Neither will delay.
Not listening to that voice only makes it that much louder.
Today, do not delay. Take action.
Know that in the realm of your dreams you are taking a leap a faith and by definition becoming vulnerable.
It takes courage to listen to your heart and then act in the real world. It takes a lot of courage to ignore people who say it can't be done or family telling you to "get a job" or "do things like they've always been done".
But, that's what all the Great's have done. Their self-opinion has been greater than the opinion of their family, tribe and culture. And they have been courageous to step out into the unknown, as vulnerable as lions amongst lions, but trusting in The Uni-verse.
You will be guided towards your ultimate destination. You will be provided for.
The Uni-verse WILL support you to fulfill your destiny because It made you to do so. But dreams are not found within the borders of conformity, but in the unknown and risky fields of your life's adventure.
You were born with a potential within you, like a seed. Plant yourself firmly in the fertile soil of your faith and then water your potential daily with action. Do it NOW – no delay.

12 Nov 2018 Seattle - Cray Inc. has added enhancements to its Urika AI and Analytics software suites, adding tools that enable data scientists to train artificial intelligence (AI) models more accurately and in less time. New features in the Cray Urika-CS and Urika-XC AI and Analytics suites include Cray-developed libraries to intelligently optimize machine learning model settings as well as additional AI tools and frameworks commonly used by data scientists.
One of the most challenging tasks for a data scientist is optimizing their choice of model hyperparameters, the knobs they can tune to pick the best model within a model class. This optimization can be resource- and labour-intensive, and often relies on time-consuming hand-crafted or brute-force approaches. Cray is adding hyperparameter optimization (HPO) algorithms, capable of running in a distributed fashion, to help data scientists find the optimal model for production AI deployments.
"Developing AI models can be a complex, time-consuming process. By offering intelligent hyperparameter optimization support within our Urika-CS and Urika-XC suites, we're giving data scientists pre-set algorithms to quickly identify the most favorable machine learning model designs", stated Per Nyberg, vice president market development, AI and cloud at Cray. "Offering data scientists this support has several benefits, including increased productivity and workflow efficiencies."
The new Urika suites are augmented with four HPO strategies - two commonly used strategies and two strategies developed by Cray to take advantage of the parallelism available in a distributed system. Taken together, these strategies simplify the task of finding and tuning the optimal model for a given application.
To learn more and to see a live demo of these new capabilities, you can stop by the Cray booth #2413 at SC18.


I was lucky enough to attend the High Performance Geoprocessing Symposium in Ottawa. It is amazing how far some very exciting geospatial projects focused on "big spatial data" under the LocationTech umbrella have come in the last few years. If you are not familiar with LocationTech, it is a working group hosted by the Eclipse Foundation with the objective of developing advanced open source geospatial technologies. Eclipse is a vendor neutral not-for-profit community collaborating on commercially-friendly open source software.
The talks today described projects that have been developed under the impetus of "big spatial data" and user demand for faster, more responsive geoprocessing.
GeoTrellis has been designed to address these challenges. It is open source released under an Apache licence, which means that all you need to do is indicate attribution, otherwise you can do anything you like with it. It provides high performance raster input/output, geoprocessing, and web services using distributed processing to achieve quite amazing throught put for large raster datasets. Robert described overlay operations with 6000 x 5000 pixel rasters, hundreds of megabytes in file size, that GeoTrellis performs in 200 milliseconds, effectively real-time from the point of view of a web user.
GeoTrellis relies on other open source libraries to achieve these phenomenal processing speeds. It uses the Hadoop (a noSQL distributed database) file system (HDFS), but replaces Hadoop's MapReduce (MapReduce is software for processing vast amounts of data in-parallel on large clusters of commodity hardware) with Apache Spark for distributed processing. Robert said that one way to look at GeoTrellis is as the geospatial enabled version of Spark.
Robert described a number of applications that involve overlaying very large raster databases for analysis or simulation where different scenarios can be run in real-time so that the user can quickly assess alternatives. For example, OpenTreeMap is a crowdsourced urban forest database where using GeoTrellis users can quickly assess the costs and benefits and optimize the planting of urban trees with different objectives, shading, air quality, reducing runoff, and so on. This would not be possible with traditional GIS and geospatial databases.
Ahmed Eldawy from the University of Minnesota describes a LocationTech project he has been working on for several years that was originally called Spatial Hadoop, but has been renamed to GeoJinni. Perhaps the best known NoSQL distributed database, Hadoop knows nothing about spatial data. It doesn't support spatial datatypes, spatial indexes or spatial analytics.
GeoJinni is a comprehensive extension to Hadoop that allows efficient processing of spatial data. It injects spatial awareness in the different layers and components of Hadoop to make it more efficient to store and process big spatial data. It is a spatially-enabled Hadoop that supports spatial datatypes, spatial indexes, spatial analysis, and spatial predicates (such as "intersect"). GeoJinni can be installed as an extension to an existing Hadoop cluster which means that it can be run without the need to give up existing Hadoop installations. It is portable to run with a number of Hadoop distributions including Apache Hadoop, Cloudera, and Hortonworks.
Some of the applications where GeoJinni is currently used are modeling world traffic and querying and visualizing spatio-temporal satellite data.
Currently it uses MapReduce to distribute processing across multiple machines, but in the future the plan is to extend support to Spark.
Chris Eichelberger from the GeoMesa project described an approach to big spatial data that focusses on vector data and compliance with existing widely used geospatial APIs.
The problem as outlined by Chris is if you want to find all the points that are within a certain distance from a fixed point your strategy depends on the total number of points you are dealing with.
hundreds of points - can be handled reasonably well (but not optimally) by a full table scan with an SQL database such as Oracle or PostgreSQL.
hundreds of thousands of points - you need PostGIS or Oracle Spatial to handle this efficiently. The widely used GeoTools API is an open source Java library that provides tools for geospatial data management and analytics. GeoTools supports plugins for various databases including MySQL, Oracle, SpatiaLite and SQL Server, but the most widely used database with GeoTools is PostGIS.
I have already mentioned Hadoop. To deal with data volumes that are too large for traditional SQL databases, beginning in 2004 Google developed "BigTable" which is a compressed, high performance, and proprietary data storage system built on the Google File System that is used by a number of Google applications including Google Maps. Apache Accumulo is a distributed "key/value store" that is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop and other Apache projects. "Key/value store" simply means that every record has a unique identifier, often a hash. For putting geospatial data into a key/value store the key concept is that of the "geohash" converting a 2D, 3D or 4D coordinate such as a lon and lat, lon, lat and elevation or a lon, lat, elevation, and time to an integer index, such as a quadtree or R-Tree index, that can be used to order and rapidly retrieve spatial data. Geohash means that you now can take advantage of key/value databases such as Accumulo and programs such as MapReduce - Accumulo uses MapReduce for distributed processing. GeoMesa aims to provide as much of the spatial querying and data manipulation to Accumulo as PostGIS does to Postgres.
An especially exciting thing about GeoMesa is that it is an implementation of the GeoTools API on Apache Accumulo instead of PostGIS. If you have an application that was developed with GeoTools, you can simply replace PostGIS with GeoMesa to handle big spatial data volumes. There is even a plug-in for GeoServer so that geospatial data in Accumulo to be shared and visualized via Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard services, such as WFS. Chris also announced that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) GeoWave project, which shares many goals with GeoMesa, will be folded into GeoMesa.
A fairly common query when dealing with social media streams such as Twitter is to "find all the tweets from locations within 10 km and within 15 minutes of where I was in my car at 9:45 this morning." Chris outlined how GeoMesa can handle that type of query through GeoMesa's support for an Open Geospatial Consortium standard called the web geoprocessing service (WPS).
