Safety measures to be installed at reservoir in memory of popular man
Emergency safety measures to be installed at Jumbles Reservoir in memory of Steven Dyson
EMERGENCY throwlines are set to be installed at a reservoir in memory of Ramsbottom man Steven Dyson, who died last year.
Two throwlines will be introduced at Jumbles Reservoir in Bolton in a bid to stop people drowning.
The scheme has been launched by United Utilities following the deaths of four people in reservoirs around the North West in the last two years.
The throwlines, which could buy valuable time for any swimmers in trouble, will be introduced at 20 locations around eight reservoirs across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, each dedicated to the memory of someone who lost their life.
Steven's body was found in the River Irwell in Summerseat last year following a six-day search.
An inquest into his death found he had drowned after he was last seen at 9am on New Year's Day leaving a party in St Andrew's Close, Ramsbottom.
The throwline has been installed at Jumbles due to the fact he and his family were regular visitors.
Steven's mum Lorraine Roach said: "Hopefully the throwlines will never be needed, but if they save just one life then it will be worth it.
"I would not want another parent to go through what I have.
"People do not realise how dangerous open water is. Throwlines should be standard for every bit of open water, whether it is a reservoir or a free-flowing river."
Ms Roach and other bereaved families were joined by water safety campaigners and representatives from the North West's water company and fire and rescue services at Greenbooth Reservoir near Rochdale on Thursday to mark the scheme's launch.
The reservoir is the site where 16-year-old Paul Lawson drowned in June 2017, and two throwlines have been installed there in his memory.
Three throwlines will also be set up at High Rid Reservoir in Horwich, where 21-year-old former St Gabriel's RC High School pupil Dominic McLoughlin tragically drowned last summer after going for a swim with a friend.
Martin Padley, water services director at United Utilities, said: "The land around our reservoirs is a wonderful natural resource and we want to do everything possible to encourage people to visit and enjoy the health benefits of being out in the countryside.
"However, reservoirs are too dangerous for swimming and despite our best efforts to raise awareness of the dangers there are always a few who will take a chance.
"We hope the throwlines and the information displayed with them will help deter people from swimming and, if the worst should happen, it could make the difference between life and death."
The throwline's information board provides advice on how to help in an emergency and pinpoints an accurate location for fire and rescue services.
Should the scheme prove a success, United Utilities says it will consider rolling it out at others reservoirs across the North West.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Install Size, Timed Exclusivity Revealed
By Lonestar,
September 26, 2018 in Red Dead Redemption 2
Gamertag: m_dotk
The previous record was held by Black Ops 3 at 101GB (must have been lazy devs). GTA 5 is 65GB
105GB is a whole lotta content! I'm hearing 40GB is dedicated to HD horse testies though

Recently Sony revealed their Red Dead Redemption 2 console bundles for the PlayStation 4. The announcements included high-res images of the boxes from multiple angles, which has allowed fans to learn some new details about the game.
We now know the required storage space for the game's installation, as well as just what that timed-exclusivity business was all about, thanks to the back of the bundle box.
The game will require a minimum storage space of 105 GB, which is massive - it will occupy more than one-fifth of your hard drive if you have the 500 GB version of the PS4. For comparison, GTA 5 was "just" 65 GB. This also makes Red Dead Redemption 2 the largest game released for this platform.
More interesting however is clarification on what kind of timed exclusivity we're looking at. Rockstar and Sony have been vocal about their partnership pretty much ever since the game was announced but for a while we didn't have an idea of what that partnership is all about. We later learned that some content will temporarily be exclusive to PS4, but there was no clarification until now.
Select Online DLC will be exclusive to the PlayStation 4 for a period of 30 days. This means that unlike in GTA Online where all platforms get all content simultaneously, there will be a whole month between certain content rollout on PS4 and Xbox One.
Fans who prefer Microsoft's platform might end up being frustrated by this, as the risk of spoilers - provided there will be significant narrative content - increases. Plus they don't get to play the actual game content for 30 days!
We also learned that the player count of Red Dead Online will be the same as it is in the Enhanced Edition of GTA Online. Capped at 32 players, we're guessing it will follow the model of its predecessor with 30 true slots for players and 2 reserved for spectators.
The time until the game's release is rapidly decreasing as we are now officially less than a month away. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on the 26th of October - but we're sure that you've got your calendars marked already.
The post Red Dead Redemption 2 Install Size, Timed Exclusivity Revealed appeared first on RDR2.
RDR2 is the only game I'm going to play until either GTA6 or RDR3, so bye bye other games.

Yikes! I was thinking of getting an external hard drive anyway, I knew this was going to be a huge game.

The amount of GB required to download Red Dead Redemption II may differ from console to console, if I'm not mistaken 105GB is the amount of space required on a PS4 Pro which will run the game at 4K.
Running a game with 4K textures will undoubtedly require more space than a base level Xbox One or PS4 although I doubt the difference in GB will be massive, Red Dead Redemption II will likely still be one of the biggest games on console.
So will this mean that on launch day we will have to download 105gb? Or will some it be read from disc? How is the go with this?

If you have physical then it will be partly installed from the disc and the rest downloaded. What the split is hasn't been confirmed, nor is it likely to be before launch.

Got it. Thanks
Just now, JayMan said:
Either way, there's going to be a painful wait.

If it is pre-ordered, isn't there an option to download full game a few days in advance of release?
6 minutes ago, TheBaconator said:
Ooh I dunno. Maybe. I'll check.
EDIT: Unless they give out the code early it says it will be available on October 26, 2018 at 12:00 AM (US/Pacific), which, incidentally, in my timezone, is 9pm THURSDAY 25th OCTOBER

Yes. You can download the game a day or 2 before release.

Even with Amazon preorders? I've seen you can do it with PSN but what I've read about Amazon is that they are generally available at midnight on the day of release.
Probably?... Not sure though. I was referring to PlayStation and Xbox, you probably can.
Edit: After a quick Google search, nope. You can only pre-download Amazon game titles.

benjo here i looked on my facebook about october 12th
That's a relief. With a file that big, it may actually take two weeks to download.
got to agree there

Q: Mostrar imagen de GridView a una img de una tabla asp.net Quiero pasar una imagen de un GridView a una tabla que tiene la etiqueta IMG.
Yo anteriormente estaba pasando datos de DataGridView a un TexBox y me resultó. Ahora el problema es que no se puede mostrar en esa etiqueta.
Este es el código que utilizo para pasar datos:
protected void DtgSolicitudes_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Select")
    {
        try
        {
            DtSet = new DataSet();
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ObtenerCadenaConexion());
            con.Open();
            DtgSolicitudes.SelectedIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
            GridViewRow row = DtgSolicitudes.SelectedRow;
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SP_BuscarSeguimiento", con);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            SqlParameter p1 = new SqlParameter("OPT", 2);
            SqlParameter p2 = new SqlParameter("periodo", "");
            SqlParameter p3 = new SqlParameter("oficina", "");
            SqlParameter p4 = new SqlParameter("rubro", row.Cells[3].Text);

            cmd.Parameters.Add(p1);
            cmd.Parameters.Add(p2);
            cmd.Parameters.Add(p3);
            cmd.Parameters.Add(p4);

            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.Fill(dt);

            TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[2].Text);
            TextBox2.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[1].Text);
            TextBox3.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[3].Text);
            TextBox4.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[4].Text);
            TextBox5.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[5].Text);
            TextBox6.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[6].Text);
            TextBox7.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[7].Text);
            TextBox8.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[8].Text);
            TextBox9.Text = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[9].Text);

            Image1.ImageUrl = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[12].Text);
            var imagen = row.FindControl("img") as Image;

            con.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception Ex)
        {
            // DvError.Visible = true;
            Session["13"] = Ex.Message;
        }
    }
}

SQL SERVER MI TABLA

Me sale en blanco la imagen con ese nombre byte:

A: En un entorno web si la imagen estaá persistida en la base de datos como array de byte deberías recuperarla de forma indirecta por medio de un handler que envíe en el Response la imagen para mostrarla en el tag img
En el artículo
[ASP.NET] GridView – Edición Empleados
Descarga codigo ejemplo
explico como podrias lograrlo.
La columna que muestra la imagen debería ser:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Imagen">
        <ItemTemplate>
             <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server"
                       ImageUrl='<%# Eval("IdEmpleado", "imagen.ashx?id={0}") %>' Width="100px" Height="100px" />
        </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

En donde la ImageUrl apunta al handler para que este por medio del id de la entidad devuelva el array de byte en el Response.

A: Para que la imagen bit lo conviertas en una img tienes que declarar el siguiente script:
 <asp:ListView ID="ListImagenes" runat="server" Visible="true">
                                              <ItemTemplate>
                                             <asp:Image ID="Image1" ImageUrl='<%# "data:image/jpg;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String((byte[])Eval("filecontent"))  %>' runat="server" Style="width: 150px; height: 150px" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" data-placement="right" />

                                                                              <script>
                                                                                $(document).ready(function () {

                                                                                trigger: 'hover',
                                                                                content: '<img src="' + '<%# "data:image/jpg;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String((byte[])Eval("filecontent")) %>' + '" id="popover_img" Style="width: 500px" />'
                                                                                }).hover(function () {

Q: what is ${array[three]} I am learning shell(ksh) scripting. I wanted to know what does ${array[three]} mean in this context.
array[1]="one"
array[2]="two"
array[3]="three"
three=3

print ${array[1]}
print ${array[2]}
print ${array[3]}
print ${array[three]}

The Output:
one
two
three
three

I understand that we just declare a simple array that holds {one,two,three} as it's values. But i dont understand why print ${array[three]} outputs three. My main double is isnt it should be print ${array[$three]}

A: You can also write:
print ${array[$three]}

and it will produce the same answer (three).  It appears that within the scope of the ${...}, the Korn shell automatically assumes that any word that could be a variable name is and implicitly applies the $ to it.

Beuchat Aquabionic
FINS EXIST to translate your muscle power into forward motion as efficiently as possible, but in a marketplace crammed with different styles and designs any new product needs to have immediate impact if it's to get a second look from prospective purchasers.
Beuchat sent me a pair of its new Aquabionics to try, and these fins certainly stand out.
As soon as I pulled them out of their supplied protective bag I knew that they were the real deal. You know, proper fins that'll hang off the ends of your legs and give you the driving power of a train, but still look ice-cool and as modern as tomorrow.
It didn't hurt that Beuchat had sent me a pair in an eye-searing yellow, either. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I liked 'em. Other colours are available if you're concerned about looking a bit too bold, but these are not fins for shrinking violets.
The foot-pockets were long and deep enough to accommodate my full drysuit-booted foot and the spring heel-straps pulled up to hold the fins firmly in place. The straps are adjustable over a range of 7cm – just rotate one end of the fin-strap until it's sticking up at 90° to the fin, push down to unclip and remove the end of the strap from the fin, then screw the endpiece in or out until you get to the right length. It's quicker and easier to do than to explain.
The side profile.
Seen from above, the foot-pocket curves in and then the fin blade curves out. The moulding uses black polymer, so you see an upright Y-shape with a thick foot, and the branches of the Y form what Beuchat calls a double hinge.
The polymer of the branches is deeply incised top and bottom, so you have a thinner centre section where the blade as a whole can pivot.
The front of the foot-pocket has vents on the bottom and top so that the fins aren't held to your foot post-dive, and you can avoid all that embarrassing hopping about as you try to get them off your feet.
Further down, the blade becomes a reasonably standard shape but is formed from three grades of polymer. The sides are upright to stop the blades slipping sideways through the water and thereby wasting some of your precious muscle-power.
The outer portions of the blades are of a hard material that can flex and spring back into shape, and the centre-section is a clear and much softer polymer that can form into a channel to scoop water where you want it to go.
Beuchat calls the result Water Adapting Responsive Propulsion technology, or WARP for short, all very Star Trek, and claims that the fins react to both the effort you put into each stroke and the style in which you fin.
Basically, each time you fin the resistance of the water causes the blade to flex down and form a scoop, holding a volume of water that is forced to the rear as the blade returns to its original form. The shape of the fins ensures that the water is always pushed backwards and isn't allowed to spill uselessly out of the side.
The yoke.
The harder you fin, the more water is moved and the more you move, and the more gently you fin, the less you move.
Beuchat also says that the design makes the fins equally effective whether used with the BSAC-approved swing-from-the-hips scissor-kick, a frog-kick or even when back-finning.
It even goes so far as to claim that the Aquabionics are the most efficient fins in the world, and suggests that they'll reduce your gas consumption while providing day-long comfort.
Appeared in DIVER September 2017
And how does the hyperbole compare to the real world?
Adjusting the fin-strap.
Pretty well, actually. I don't know if these really are the best or most efficient fins in the world, but they're darn good in the water.
Putting them on was easy, and the big finger-tabs made the straps easy to seat and remove. Even in a midwinter quarry your numb fingers should be OK here.
Striding confidently into the water, I quickly discovered that the fins' weight was nicely judged for horizontal trim in a drysuit.
Then, using the leg-waggling action that I like to call a frog-kick, I found that they pushed me, my drysuit, rebreather and a pair of bail-outs through the water very nicely, thank you.
When I switched to the full-on, big-licks scissor-kick I was covering a surprising amount of distance in not very long at all. They even worked when I did the ankle-waggling mini-kicks that I use when not disturbing the vis is more important than making rapid progress.
Finally, back-finning and helicopter turns, and the Aquabionics got the job done there as well.
As far as downsides go, I don't have much to report. The tab at the back of the strap is a solid, hard block that rubbed the back of my heels a bit toward the end of a long dive, and that's it.
I've given the Aquabionic fins a cautious nine stars, but next time we do a proper side-by-side comparison test I wouldn't be surprised if they were at the top of the heap – in which case I'd revise it up to the full 10.

Why Ukraine?
therealtruckmaster	Political, Uncategorized	 October 21, 2019 3 Minutes
When the talking points pointed to Ukraine did anyone ask what the big deal is? We heard absolutely nothing over the past 3 years about this former soviet bloc nation. During the Obama years what was the focus – Crimea? Wasn't that where Russia invaded the tiny port nation to secure the outlet dispersing oil? Was it not over Crimea where a surface to air missile took down a commercial airliner loaded with civilian passengers at 39,000 feet? And nobody said a peep!
All it took was a video of then Vice President Joe Biden boasting that he went to the Ukraine and gave an ultimatum that Ukrainian authorities could not refuse, fire the prosecutor investigating the company that hired his son or US funds earmarked for Ukraine would not be released and the clock was ticking. Even after that interview with VP Biden was aired, the media said not a word.
Yet when President Trump telephoned congratulations to the new Ukrainian President and during the conversation asked him to look into what happened with that prosecutor the entire scenario changed and liberal Democrats and their media lackeys can't stop talking about Trump – Ukraine as if there was a conspiracy of Ukrainian interference in our Presidential Elections……
Well it turns out there was election interference involving Ukraine and it had absolutely nothing to do with Trump. In fact it began some time before the 2016 elections and involved none other than the Democratic National Convention (DNC) server and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails and a host of mishaps that potentially involved a number of Washington DC politicians.
Remember when Congressional security teams discovered someone employed by the DNC attempted unauthorized access into congressional servers? Seems like a couple of foreign born brothers and one foreign born spouse were found to be working as Internet Technicians but acting as foreign spies. In the end all three left the country and we've heard nothing of them since.
In fact they were employed by the DNC, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a number of other Democratic representatives on a part time basis having full access to a number of computers and servers, which is how they were caught. Nobody said anything about that either.
The FBI investigation into the outside hacking of the DNC server the "Russian Collusion" delusion was in full swing focused on finding Trump at the other end of the investigation. There was a problem with the so called FBI "Investigation" they never physically got to the DNC server and nobody asked why not? The whole Ukrainian scenario is unraveling faster than a kitten chasing a ball of twine downhill. Facts are coming out in recent days that the DNC server that was hacked was located physically in the Ukraine. FBI investigators were never sent to the Ukraine or couldn't find the office it was housed in?
This makes me suspicious as to whether Hillary's "private email server" may have been co-located in the Ukraine along with the DNC server (That possible connection hasn't been made yet)?
Just recently we are being told that the Ukrainian company that hired Hunter Biden did so for protection – against what or who – the United States; Barack Obama; Joe Biden; or maybe Hillary Clinton? Who is to know?
What is clear to me is the actions of the Democratic Party leadership in Congress Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer and those under their influence are acting like children trying to sweep everything under the rug and when mommy comes home they are playing beside a piled up carpet and saying – Trump did it.
Congressional Democrats are either implicit or complicit by actively partaking in this charade or looking the other way and hoping it all goes away. The old guard acts like its business as usual, while the new comers are trying to blaze new ways into the business as usual government. Those who sit silently watching and waiting must be reminded that they are merely caretakers representing American voters and can be replaced at the polling box in 2020.
The post turtle sits atop the post wondering how he got there, what he's supposed to do while he's up there and how in the world he's going to get down. Don't be a post turtle. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

As programmatic buying grows as a percentage of digital publishers' revenue, there's a need to figure out the best way to set up and compensate sales organizations to handle this new transaction method. Digiday is featuring an interesting perspective on where things stand today and where we might be headed.
First, let's start with the current state of things. Today most publishers with outside sales teams have reps assigned to major accounts. These sellers oversee the entire client relationship, including programmatic. But once a PMP deal is sold in, these reps usually hand the ball off to a programmatic specialist who helps set up the DIDs necessary to transact. If you've spent any time with programmatic you know the DID isn't the finish line to the transaction, like a typical IO would be. Instead, getting a DID live is only the starting line, because of the backend tech work and trouble-shooting needed to insure impressions are being delivered at scale through the programmatic piping.
This is where the sales transformation comes in. More than ever publishers are training their regular sellers to be programmatic fluent, in order to handle all aspects of a PMP relationship without having to rely on a lateral expert. Pubs are also starting to let their programmatic sellers be the client lead on the entire account relationship, especially for clients who've already made the leap into programmatic transacting. These shifts are steadily pushing the two roles into one blurred line job description.
Overall this trend is a positive for digital media. Having one rep who can be an expert at either way an advertiser wants to transact, whether it be IO or DID, is more efficient and better for overall customer service. I'd expect the trend to pick up speed going into 2019.


The term endbrain refers to one of two components of the forebrain. As the more rostral component, its most prominent cellular subdivisions are the cerebral cortex, the basal ganglia, the septum, and the basal forebrain. The more caudal component of the forebrain is the interbrain ( Carpenter-1983 ). The endbrain is grossly equivalent to the cerebrum of the Functional CNS Model - Rat of brain structure ( Swanson-2004 ). It is found in the human, macaque, rat, and mouse.


Today we're looking at two real estate investment trusts (REITs) that have recently delivered mixed financial results. We'll start with Cache Logistics Trust (SGX: K2LU).
As a quick background, Cache Logistics Trust is a real estate investment trust that focuses on logistics properties. It currently has 26 logistics warehouse properties in its portfolio located in Singapore, Australia, and China.
In the quarter ended 31 December 2018, gross revenue grew 4.8% to S$31.0 million, while net property income fell by 0.6% to S$23.4 million. Similarly, the REIT's distribution per unit (DPU) was down by 5.9% year on year to 1.502 Singapore cents, mainly due to lower income for distribution and higher numbers of share in issue.
As of 31 December 2018, the REIT's gearing stood at 36.2%, and its committed occupancy rate stood at 95.0%.
The next REIT on the list is AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT (SGX: O5RU), or AACIR.
As a quick introduction, AA REIT is a REIT that focuses primarily on industrial properties. It has 25 properties in Singapore and a 49% stake in an Australia property.
For the quarter ended 31 December 2018, AA REIT reported that gross revenue grew 3.3% year on year to S$29.8 million, while net property income improved by 1.1% year on year to S$19.4 million.
The higher NPI was due to maiden rental contributions from 51 Marsiling Road and 8 Tuas Avenue 20. Yet, the REIT's distribution per unit (DPU) was down by 4.6% year on year to 2.50 Singapore cents.
As of 31 December 2018, the REIT's gearing stood at 33.5%, while its committed occupancy rate stood at 93.9% at end of the quarter.

Deep South File :: New Orleans plans first "back home" community meeting
Posted by DSJV at Friday, November 11, 2005 11.11.2005
The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans will host the first Jewish community meeting in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina on Nov. 21 at Shir Chadash at 7 p.m. At the meeting, there will be updates on the community's Jewish agencies, rebuilding and reopening plans, and the latest information on the community's future.
The Federation recently mailed a survey to the Jewish community mailing list, asking for updated information and a sense of what percentage of the community plans to return, and in what time-frame. A large percentage of the surveys will have to be forwarded by the Postal Service.
Even if one has resettled elsewhere and has no plans to return to New Orleans, the Federation requests that the survey be filled out.
The survey is also available on-line at www.jewishnola.com.
CLAL to hold programs in Louisiana
Rabbi Irwin Kula and Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard of the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, also known as CLAL, will be in Baton Rouge on Dec. 12 and New Orleans on Dec. 13 for a series of programs, including a program of healing and recovery.
Times and locations will be announced shortly.
Rebuilding offers
Many groups from across the country are offering to come to the New Orleans area to help with rebuilding.
An adult mitzvah corps from Temple Shalom in Succasunna, N.J., has offered to come down the week of Dec. 26, to assist individual homeowners or businesses that need help. The group has built five Habitat for Humanity homes, and has liability coverage.
Those desiring their assistance can contact Teri Gross at the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans, (713) 729-7000, ext. 364, or terigross@jewishnola.com. The service is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Other groups have also offered assistance, and once the Federation resolves liability issues, information will be posted so matches can be made.
Chanukah in New Orleans
Dashka Roth, a Judaica shop in the French Quarter, is teaming with artist Gary Rosenthal and the New Orleans Jewish Community Center for a Chanukah homecoming celebration, Dec. 20 at the Uptown JCC, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The party will include latkes, music and Chanukah gifts created and donated by communities across the country.

The opposition to SB 668 in Florida gets nuttier with every passing day. I've said they're desperate, but it's worse than that. Some of these people need a nice soft room somewhere quiet. As far as the prospects for SB 668 go, that's all to the good. The more they disgrace themselves, the better. What's less so is the fact that the news media, until now relatively balanced, is coming up with pieces like this (WPTV, 4/12/16).
The bad aspect of the WPTV article is that it claims that the dispute over SB 668 is between men and women. Somehow they managed to overlook all the pro-SB 668 women who were there at the Capital rally and appear in WPTV's own photographs. Needless to say, WPTV reporters did no research of their own into the matter, nor did they manage to speak to anyone like, say, Molly Olson, Dianna Thompson or anyone at Leading Women for Shared Parenting. Failing that of course, they could have just picked up the phone and had a chat with any of the 18 female Florida legislators who voted in support of the bill. In fact, their piece was so bad that it dropped all pretense of balance. No one in favor of shared parenting was interviewed or quoted, just those opposed.
They did none of that, preferring, I assume, to try to create controversy where there is none. Isn't there enough controversy about this bill without imagining more? I suppose not.
Adele Guadalupe of Palm Beach County Florida became an avid activist 10 years ago, after a Family Court awarded her son-in-law custody of her grandson, at the arbitrary discretion of the court. Contact with the child was denied the mother and the entire maternal family denied the mother and the entire maternal family for over 6 years. She was one of the founders of Families Against Court Travesties (FACTS), a Court Watch Organization that has had over 150 members and handles a hotline for parents in fear of losing custody and/or contact with their children in Family Court. FACTs is an ad hoc committee of the National Organization of Women.
She was a past Pres. of South Palm Beach County NOW, and now is VP of Communications.
She is also a founding member of the National NOW Family Law Advisory Committee and has been a contributing committee member for over 6 years.
She is also Co-Pres. of Florida NOW Child Custody/Family Court Committee.
Adele has been a guest speaker and has given workshops for many organizations, She's participated in National Judicial Nominating conferences, brought needed legislation to the attention of several legislators, participated vigorously in past elections and testified before the Supreme Court's Standing Committee on Fairness and Diversity several times.
Prior to retiring she was an Interior Designer, and small business owner of several businesses.
Keeping the courts open, fair and unbiased has been her passion for the past 10 years.
So that's who Guadalupe says she is – a member of NOW and a woman whose daughter was scorned by a family court judge. Now, we all know that family courts can be hell on parents, but we also know that mothers have to do handstands to lose custody. I'd be very, very interested to know the facts of her daughter's custody case.
What did Guadalupe have to say about SB 668?
"The mother carried the baby for 9 months, the mother was nauseous and threw up, probably had to give up her job, the mother had to give birth, the mother has to breast feed the child, all of a sudden the mother counts for nothing and the father has a fifty percent right to this child?"
It's hard to be so wrong about so much in so few words. Guadalupe's brief against SB 668 is entirely based on the fact that women gestate babies. (At least she got that right.) So, apart from everything else, she's not arguing only against SB 668, she's arguing against fathers having any parental rights at all. If pregnancy is her justification for opposing shared parenting, then it's also her justification for simply leaving Dad behind altogether. Of course Guadalupe doesn't say so, doubtless because doing so would make it clear to everyone just how far out on the fringe she really is.
"Had to give up her job?" Ridiculous. The overwhelming majority of mothers who were working when they became pregnant don't quit their jobs. And next to none of them "had to." Those who do quit work do so because they find motherhood so rewarding that they prefer spending time with their rug rats to doing so in the corporate rat race. Guadalupe's the type of feminist who believes that motherhood is an intolerable burden. The vast majority of women know better.
"Has to breast feed the child?" Wrong again. A great many women want to do that for good reason, and many of them do, but none of them "has to." Expressing milk is one way or simply feeding formula is another of getting nutrition to the baby without breast feeding. But again, countless mothers report that breastfeeding is a wonderful and fulfilling way to bond intimately with a newborn. Guadalupe wants us to believe it's the next thing to breaking rocks in the hot sun.
"The mother counts for nothing." Uh, no. Somehow in her fevered brain, Guadalupe has come to believe that SB 668 takes all rights away from mothers. Or something. It's hard to know how anyone could come up with such patent nonsense, but there it is. No, SB 668 instructs judges that 50/50 is the starting point at which they then must consider 20 factors regarding the best interests of the child. Contrary to what the opposition claims, the bill no more requires an even split of parenting time than the man in the moon. Is Guadalupe so entirely ignorant of the plain language of the bill or is she just lying, like so many have before her?
In case there was any doubt about NOW's radical anti-father bias in the matter of children's rights to both parents, Guadalupe just dispelled it. According to her, fathers take no part in raising children. They're like reptile males who have nothing to do with their offspring. Amazing. Never mind that all the data on how adult Americans spend their time reveal that to be untrue. Never mind that fathers are doing more hands-on childcare than ever before. And of course never mind that fathers do the lion's share of supporting the family financially.
But of course to feminists like Guadalupe, having a roof over your head, food on the table and clothes on your back aren't important. Apparently mothers and children need none of that.
Then of course there's what she didn't say. It's the same thing opponents of shared parenting never manage to mention – the well-being of children. Yes, reams of social science tell us that shared parenting is better for kids than the status quo, but people like Guadalupe still oppose sensible, humane reform.
Up to now, I thought Heather Quick's frank lies about SB 668 were the bottom of the barrel, but I'm no longer sure. For sheer hateful nonsense, no one quite measures up to Adele Guadalupe.

Under Pressure: Q & A Reveals Directors Kicked Out of Kitchen Classroom During Filming of Pressure Cooker, Jennifer Grausman and Mark Becker's Doc About Tough-Love Culinary Arts Teacher Wilma Stephenson. The Film Opens Friday
Margy Rochlin June 1, 2009
One of the highlights of last year's Los Angeles Film Festival was the feature-length documentary Pressure Cooker, co-directed by Jennifer Grausman and Mark Becker. The movie is about a veteran Culinary Arts teacher, Wilma Stephenson, who has built a reputation over the past 38 years for turning out scholarship-winning students at Northeast Philadelphia's Frankford High School.
On June 5, the film begins its theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Sunset 5 and at Pasadena's Laemmle Playhouse 7, which means you get a second chance to witness Stephenson's super-crazy tough-love teaching style and track the progress of Erica, Dudley and Fatoumata, three of her sweetly earnest inner-city charges. Here, Grausman submits to a Squid Ink IM session.
When did you first hear of the Category Five hurricane known as Wilma Stephenson?
I heard about Wilma Stephenson from my father, Richard Grausman, who founded the nonprofit, Careers through Culinary Arts Program. The organization works with culinary arts classes in public high schools across the country. Mrs. Stephenson's students always did extremely well at the competition — he knew that she really trained them…and her students always wrote these amazing personal essays as part of their application for the scholarship competitions. So I went to meet her and we spoke for 3 hours. She clearly loved her students. She was charismatic, funny, emotional and passionate about education, so I thought there might be a story in her kitchen classroom.
Did she agree immediately to let you bring cameras into her class room? Or did it take some convincing?
She agreed immediately. But later she had second thoughts when I asked to film on the first day of school. I convinced her to let us come.
What was your argument?
I told her that we wanted to capture the entire year and catch the progress of her students. We didn't just want to film them at the end, but to tell the story of their growth.
How long was your shoot?
The entire school year and a bit into the summer. So approximately 10 months.
The tricky tournee; Credit: Photo courtesy of BEV Pictures
One of the drills Stephenson makes the kids practice over and over again involves something called a tourne — carving a potato into seven perfect sides. Did you ever give it a try?
I still can't do a potato tourne. The day we filmed Fatoumata practicing, she asked me to try and I couldn't do it at all. I was terrible. Didn't even get close to symmetrical.
Like a cubist potato tourne?
Yes. Fatoumata told me when she got to Monroe, hers was the best in the class.
What's the best thing you learned while making Pressure Cooker?
In terms of cooking or filmmaking or life?
I learned that you have to be ready to be completely spontaneous in documentary filmmaking — to be ready for whatever happens. Some of our the best moments we caught happened on days we thought we were shooting something else. Also to not worry about missing moments. In the beginning I would beat myself up if we had missed a great moment, but in the end, we had so many great moments that I didn't miss the ones I thought I would.
Can you give an example?
The scene in the classroom with Wilma, Erica and the other girls when she calls Fatoumata to ask about the prom. That day we had gone down just to get insert shots of the kitchen — we didn't even know they would be there.
Okay, so what did you learn about cooking?
That's harder. Mostly that if you practice, you can do it. Wilma teaches the kids that with practice and ambition, they can do anything. They set goals and reached them. That was very inspiring for me. And that practice does make perfect — especially with potato tournees and omelets
Are you still scared of Mrs. Stephenson?
Mrs. Stephenson and I are on great terms now.
Um, what do you mean…"now"?
Her students are her focus, so there were days where having a documentary crew around was not her favorite thing.
I'm not trying to weasel an answer out of you, I just know that it had to be intimidating sometimes.
Wilma fully admits that she gave us a hard time when she does Q&As. We got kicked out of the classroom many times, yelled at, like the kids do, and even told not to come back for a few weeks.
Hahahaahaha! awesome! What would you and Mark Becker do?
Mostly apologize.
So Wilma put you through documentary filmmaking boot camp too!
Yes, completely! One day we wanted to film Erica and friends going to get lunch.
We didn't realize they were sneaking out, and Wilma caught us. We were in more trouble than the kids.
Mark tried to explain that we were just documenting what happened — we weren't in charge of their actions. But arguing doesn't work. So he learned from me, that what you have to do is apologize. So we did. And we were allowed back. The kids called to apologize for getting us in trouble. And we all laughed about it later — including Wilma.

Students learn from the experts on the 2016 Business Strategy & Consulting Summer School
Sarah Belfield
As part of our 2016 Summer School programme, students from across the world visited Imperial College Business School for three weeks to study our Business Strategy & Consulting course.
Led by Academic Director Dr Paolo Taticchi, the course involved a combination of lectures, workshops and trips, all delivered by world-class Imperial College academics and inspiring industry guest speakers. Dr Taticchi explained "The programme is designed to inspire and train young people for careers in consulting and industry. The amount of knowledge students develop in three weeks is remarkable. This is highly appreciated by international recruiters, which value the programme and the reputation of Imperial College Business School".
After learning concepts in strategic management and the frameworks for analysis, students had the chance to put their knowledge to the test by working in groups to develop business solutions based around case studies presented to them. This was interspersed with guest speaker sessions, including a talk from former CEO of Microsoft Europe, Jan Mühlfeit who commented:
I believe the Business Strategy & Consulting Summer School is a great way to unlock potential of all students, through practical experience and global faculty.
Jan Mühlfeit
former CEO of Microsoft Europe
Managing Partner EMEA at GBU Healthcare, Diego Patanè, also visited the students to talk about his career in consulting: "Sharing my entrepreneurial life with the Imperial College Business School students was a truly remarkable experience. Their interest and questions confirm my strong belief that combining resources, authentic projects/case studies and testimonies can create a varied and complete palette that receptive and motivated candidates can choose from to build a solid future."
Another of the highlights from the programme was a visit from international management and technology consulting firm BearingPoint. Senior Recruiter, Neha Shah and Analyst, Justine Healey, led a session with the group which gave an insight into what consultancy involves followed by a case study workshop. Neha compared the different types of management consultancy firms such as strategy houses and consultancy firms which are used to outsource certain functions or processes. BearingPoint, whose clients range from the automotive industry to the oil and gas sector, falls somewhere in the middle of these two styles as they offer operational improvement by creating unique software solutions based on clients' needs and requests.
Following some handy hints and tips, groups were all given a fictional case study based on a UK car manufacturer and were asked to perform a review of the business which would lead to recommended solutions which BearingPoint could implement to improve the performance of the business. After around an hour of planning, students enjoyed presenting their ideas which ranged from small process changes to a complete reshuffle of the management board. The representatives from BearingPoint gave positive feedback to the groups, highlighting that the key to being a successful consultant is to be able to back up your solutions with data and facts, whatever your recommendation may be. Before the end of the session, Neha and Justine gave the class some very useful advice on the application process to become a consultant, which many of the Summer School students will find beneficial in the future.
A key part of the course, as in the world of consulting, is an emphasis on group work. One of the students, Antonio Ng, commented on the importance of gaining this experience: "Teamwork is inevitable when one steps into the corporate world. With an emphasis on group work, I firmly believe that my time at Imperial has prepared me for such an environment."
The Business Strategy & Consulting Summer School enables students to see into the world of consultancy through the experiences of top global firms and consultants, whilst also being taught the relationship between the different strategic management concepts and consulting strategies. The diversity of the cohort also provides the chance to exchange different perspectives whilst developing a network of highly motivated and dynamic individuals.

Q: How to use PCA in regression? I'm currently reading in the Applied Predictive Modeling book about PCA for dimensionality reduction. I've read the following:

If the predictive relationship between the predictors and response is
  not connected to the predictors' variability, then the derived PCs
  will not provide a suitable relationship with the response. In this
  case, a supervised technique, like PLS, will derive components while
  simultaneously considering the corresponding response.

I don't understand the meaning of this. Could somebody explain this in better words or in an example (when to use PLS instead of PCA)? How can I decide in a real dataset if I should use PCA or PLS? Predictors is the same as features.

Second, I'm using Matlab and I'm a bit unsure about the transformation. Let's assume that $X$ is my data matrix where the rows are the data points and the columns are the features (predictors). In Matlab the function call is
[coeff,score,latent,tsquared,explained,mu] = pca(X)

Should I now use coeff or score instead of X or should I do X*coeff or X*score? I also don't understand what the difference is between coeff and score.

A: Say your predictor matrix is $X$ and your response vector is $y$.  PCA is concerned only with the (co)variance within the predictor matrix $X$ itself, while a regression model is (also) concerned with the covariance between $X$ and the response $y$.  If there is no relationship between these concepts, dimension reduction by PCA can be harmful to your regression by screening out those predictors in $X$ that are correlated with the response.
Here is a simple example, in R, as I don't have access to matlab.  Suppose I create some random gaussian data
x_1 <- rnorm(10000, mean = 0, sd = 1)
x_2 <- rnorm(10000, mean = 0, sd = .1)
X <- cbind(x_1, x_2)

And set up a situation where the a response is correlated with only the smaller varaince component
y <- x_2 + 1

The principal components of $X$ are just $x_1$ and $x_2$, given the way I set it up
> cor(X)
    x_1          x_2
x_1 1.0000000000 0.0004543833
x_2 0.0004543833 1.0000000000

If PCA is used to select one component, we get $x_1$, as this has the highest variance.  Regressing $y$ on $x_1$ is useless
> lm(y ~ x_1)

Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x_1)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)          x_1
  1.001e+00    4.544e-05

The coefficient of $x_1$ here is zero, the model has no more predictive power than an intercept only model.  On the other hand, if I select the lower variance component
> lm(y ~ x_2)

Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x_2)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)          x_2
          1            1

I get back a much more predictive model.
Because PCA ignores the relationship of $y$ to $X$, there is no reason to believe that its dimension reduction is reasonable in the context of your regression problem.
On the other hand using the relationship between $y$ and $X$ to do pre-regression dimension reduction and variable selection is a very good way to overfit your model to your training data.  In some ways, PCAs ignorance of the relationship between $X$ and $y$ is a blessing, because, while it can be harmful in the way outlined above, it cannot overfit the relationship in your training data in the same way that peeking at $y$ can.
As for your more practical question, the matlab documentation says

coeff = pca(X) returns the principal component coefficients, also known as loadings, for the n-by-p data matrix X. Rows of X correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables. The coefficient matrix is p-by-p. Each column of coeff contains coefficients for one principal component, and the columns are in descending order of component variance. By default, pca centers the data and uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm.

This says to me, that to do PCA dimension reduction in matlab, you need to:

*

*Center the columns of your $X$ matrix.

*Select the first $N$ columns of the coef matrix, where $N$ is the number of non-intercept regressors you want in your model.

*Create a new data matrix as center(X) * coef[, 1:N].

*Use the columns in the new matrix as regressors in your dimensional reduced regression.

Again, I am far from fluent in matlab, so the syntactic details of how to preform these steps is unknown to me.

Safe Sport for All
From: Canadian Heritage
The Government of Canada is taking concrete steps to protect athletes and children in amateur sport with two pilot initiatives: an investigation unit and a national toll-free confidential helpline for harassment, abuse and discrimination in sport
Today, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport, announced funding to the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) to launch two initiatives that will complement each other: an investigation unit and a national toll-free confidential helpline for harassment, abuse and discrimination.
These initiatives are important components of the Government of Canada's overall approach to addressing the issue of harassment, abuse and discrimination in Canadian sport.
Investigation Unit
The SDRCC is launching a third-party investigation unit as a pilot project to provide an independent service for federally funded national sport organizations, multisport service organizations, and Canadian sport centres and institutes to investigate harassment, abuse and discrimination complaints.
The services offered by this unit are provided to sport organizations on a fee-for-service basis by a trained independent investigators.
This pilot project will end in March 2020, when it will be assessed with a view to improve upon best practices.
For more information, visit http://www.crdsc-sdrcc.ca/eng/investigation-unit.
The bilingual national toll-free confidential helpline for harassment, abuse and discrimination launched on Monday, March 11 and provides a safe place for victims and witnesses of incidents of harassment, abuse and discrimination in sport to report their concerns.
The Canadian Sport Helpline will provide callers with advice on the next steps they can take, as well as direct them to the most appropriate national and local services and resources available to them, including the police, child protection services, existing provincial/territorial helplines, or any other relevant services.
It provides professional listening and referral services by phone and text at 1-888-83-SPORT (77678) and by email at info@abuse-free-sport.ca, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, seven days a week.
For more information, visit www.abuse-free-sport.ca.
Government of Canada Actions
The Government of Canada, in collaboration with provincial and territorial governments and the sport community, has taken several actions to help prevent and address incidents of harassment, abuse and discrimination in Canadian sport. These include the following:
April 24, 2018: The Minister of Science and Sport convened a Working Group on Gender Equity in Sport to gather the experiences, perspectives and insights of 12 champions for gender equity in sport and to provide a range of views and advice on strategies to better understand and serve the specific needs of women and girls in sport. The topic of gender-based violence in sport was among the important issues discussed. June 19, 2018: Tough new measures were announced to address harassment, abuse and discrimination in sport. The Minister may now withhold funding from any organization that does not:

Round 1! Please remember to SAVE AND POST YOUR REPLAYS. For those of you new to Smogon tournaments, if you are the winner, you are required to post in this thread with every games replay and stating that you were the winner. Matches are Best of 3 and you are allowed to switch teams between games. See this post in the thread for the last DUU tournament for an example. The deadline for round 1 is Monday February 4th at 11:59 PM EST. I will post computed usage stats at the end of each round, and will provide the tournament bracket for transparency. The first round pairings were made using the official Smogon bracket maker. Good user Trelloant managed to sign up twice, so we have 46 sign ups + me. One player gets a bye (we got a sub, so we have an even 48 players!). Sorry the official Smogon thing gave us the worst pairings ever.
There's no easy online bracket manager for these kind of tournaments (3 way finals), so you will be able to view the pairings at https://www.smogon.com/bracketmaker/view/569/ for this round, and I will post the official link to the second round pairings when they are generated.

Podcast Interview with Mike Wilson
By Matt Tullis
Mike Wilson is finishing up his first few months as the new editor of the Dallas Morning News. Wilson came to Dallas from ESPN's FiveThirtyEight website, where he was managing editor. Before that, he was the editor of the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay Times. While in St. Petersburg, Wilson oversaw a staff of incredibly talented writers and reporters, many of whom have been featured on this podcast, reporters like Ben Montgomery, Michael Kruse and Kelley Benham French.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the writers Wilson cultivated in Florida. He was the primary editor on Lane DeGregory's story, "The Girl in the Window," which won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 2009.
During the podcast, we talk about a series of stories that ran in the St. Petersburg Times called "Encounters." One by Kruse was about a dad teaching his young daughter how to ride a bike. During our discussion, we also talk about a story Wilson said he recently read, titled "The Root of All Things," by Nathan Thornburgh. The piece ran on the website roadsandkingdoms.com, an independent journal of food, politics, travel and culture. It's a story well worth checking out.

A French / Japanese ultra violent sci-fi animation you say? Were do we sign? Yup, Mutafukaz, co-directed by Shoujirou Nishimi and Guillaume Renard is as mad as they come. Stuffed with as many pop-culture references as you care to mention, this lunatic movie somehow still manages to come across as a true original.
Replete with cartoony captions that pop up at random points in the story to proclaim the movie's own ignorance of its direction, this breathless, anarchic madman of a movie doesn't stop for breath in its perfectly set 90 minute run time. Stealing liberally from just about any source, we get CGI rendered scrolling backgrounds, more traditional animated characters and the entire thing plays out like a hallucinogenic Gorlliaz video. With plenty of Heavy Metal ultra-violence thrown in.
Vinz and Lino are joined by their ever so slightly irritating buddy / fixer Ralphie in their flight from the mysterious Miyazaki-esque creatures that are running the city. Who is the mysterious girl? Why does Lino look so different from everyone else? Will their cockroaches come to the rescue? Some of these questions are answered, but that's not really the point. With a magnificent soundtrack and no shortage of material purloined from sources as broad as Grand Theft Auto and Ghibli, this is a laugh out loud WTF just happened movie of the finest order. Sweeping cameras zoom out from the action to city level and switch to Pacman style graphics at the drop of a scooter helmet, adding to the wonderful confusion and general mayhem.

Comments on Midi Music Pad : Electronics instruments for sound synthesizer, melody & best as a portable distortion.


Thank you for your interest in Alpine Academy. We started in 1995 as a babysitting center and have since have become not only a day care, but a school where children have fun, make friends, and practice academic skills.
We are passionate about finding the right balance during the day. In addition to enjoying free time, outdoor play and special celebrations, we want children to find joy in educational pursuits, whether it is holding a pencil, sounding out words, or measuring the ingredients to make muffins.
One key to child development is to keep the groups small, with only four to twelve children in a room with their own teacher. This gives the teacher the chance to really know each child and focus on his or her strengths and needs.
Another priority is using a steady curriculum for early reading, writing, math, and science skills. For example, research and practice have taught us that children learn to read better by learning a few sounds at a time, instead of learning one letter per week, so that's what we do. Having a proven list of skills and knowing the best ways to teach them is crucial.
Most importantly, I am passionate about hiring mature, experienced teachers who believe that working with children is their calling. I love watching Alpine's teachers interact with the children in the classroom, on the playground, or when a child just needs a hug. A sense of warmth comes over me, and I know the teachers and children feel it, too.
We believe in the power of love, especially in a school environment. Please visit us and see if you feel it, too.

Day 4 - Cup O' Noodles and Nevada.
First order of business, repair my broken derailleur chain. I had the use of only my granniest gears. On the plus side, the next couple kms of my ride were downhill. On the other hand, the nearest bike shop was in Carson City. That's 46kms out from Woodfords, for the curious. It was a long morning.
Fortunately, the ride was spectacular. Ranches everywhere, surrounded by mountains, cactii, and tumbleweed. Very picturesque Nevada.
Upon reaching Carson City, I sought out The Bike Smith (900 Carson St North, if I recall). The mechanic there was amazing, and repaired the derailleur chain for free! Apparently they get many touring cyclists like me coming through, and love to help out. After buying a replacement tube, and stopping at a diner called Adele's (do not recommend...very old cat lady feel to it, but good service), I was on my way.
The goal for the day? Fallon, NV. I whipped through Dayton, Stagecoach, and Silver Springs before pulling into the Fallon RV Park, about 9k out from the city proper. A good stop, and a great chance for me to try out my little pot/stove combo! A couple minutes of boiling water and I was eating cups of noodles flavoured (somewhat dubiously) with chicken, and tucked into my tent.
Word to the wise - Nevada gets cold. This is a lesson I would learn over and over through the next couple days, but still comes as a surprise. It hasn't been the heat of the state that has got to me (though it can get hot), but rather the cold at nights. And the wind! Can it ever blow! More on the wind on Day 6.
Jay sent me off with a bellyfull of scrambled eggs and advice to aim for Cooks Station as campsite for the night. Sorry Jay, but the Mule En Rouge and I have to haul a little bit more than that. I stopped for snacks at Cooks Station and pressed on.
Begin the day of mechanical failures. From Cooks Station, it was a grueling 6 hour, 55km climb over the peak of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, through Carson Pass, at 8600 feet (look for the video of me about 1000 feet from the pass, hopefully I can get posted to YouTube from here).
To begin my equipment woes, one of my waterbottle holsters snapped. I think one of the bolts holding it to my front fork had come loose and had worn through the metal. I gave up on the holster, and didn't cry over the lost grams.
When I reached the peak, I realized my first tube had been punctured. Bound to happen, and provided me with a good excuse to break and rest my poor little legs.
After the peak, I was exhausted. I tucked into my drop bars and sought the first warm bed. I was fortunate to find the Woodfords Inn, in Woodfords, CA (http://woodfordsinn.com). I highly recommend the place to any poor cyclist climbing the Sierra Nevada. The owner was extremely nice, and even drove me to a local diner to get dinner.
Unfortunately, just as a pulled into the parking lot, my front derailleur chain popped out, seemingly related to the pulley system leading to the front derailleur. A third equipment woe in one day...well, I was too tired to deal with it that night.
All my griping about these breakages and the monstruous climb shouldn't mask the fact that it was a beautiful ride. I passed through a variety of vistas en route - the El Dorado forest was particularly striking. Very reminiscent of Northern Ontario Forests.
Early on in the ride.
All in all, and looking back (from when I'm writing this, the 10th), Day 3 was one of my tougher days, both because of the climb and the equipment trouble. However, I have a feeling as though I have passed through the crucible, and may now proceed into the desert.

Kentucky flood survivors brace for more rainstorms
Liz Jassin, Marni Hughes
Posted: Aug 1, 2022 / 09:26 PM CDT | Updated: Aug 2, 2022 / 07:57 AM CDT
(NewsNation) — At least 35 people have died in flash flooding across Kentucky, the state's governor confirmed during a news conference Monday.
More casualties have emerged as another round of rainstorms hit flooded Kentucky mountain communities Monday.
Clay Nickles, who survived the flooding, told NewsNation he's preparing for the worst. Nickles and his wife live in Neon, Kentucky, which was flooded again around 3 a.m. Monday.
Psychiatrist says Sandy Hook parents fear for their lives
"It's not looking very promising tonight" Nicles told "NewsNation Prime" during an appearance Monday night. "All the progress that had been done on City Hall and the churches and the businesses downtown basically was for nothing because … the floods got everything again," Nickles said.
Hundreds of people currently remained unaccounted for five days after up to a foot of rain swamped one of the nation's poorest regions.
"This area is going to need a lot of help from outside, and I'm so thankful that this has been broadcasted nationally because we're going to need people for a very long time to keep on coming in here and helping out these these good hearted, wonderful people that live here in the mountains," Nickles added.

Tell me a little about yourself: When you were my age, did you like to read? Yes! My town did not have a public library. We did have a library class at school and twice a week I got to check out books.
What was your favorite story? Humbug Witch by Lorna Balian. It is back in print, I think. I loved that it had a surprise ending.
How do you get your ideas? My ideas come from everything around me. I am a "kinesthetic" learner. That means my mind works better when i am in motion. When I am taking a walk, driving a car, cutting grass on the riding mower or even swimming laps in a pool, ideas seem to come into my brain. Sometimes, those ideas come from something that is happening in my real life. For instance, I have been having trouble sleeping. I have written two books about sleep that will be coming out in 2017: Even Monsters Need to Sleep and also, Babies Can Sleep Anywhere. Both books fell into my brain while tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
Is it hard to write a book? Sometimes. It is hard when I have no ideas. It is hard when my characters do not want to do what I want them to do. It is hard when an editor asks for a revision that might not make sense to me. But even though it is hard, I love it! Best job for me!!
Do you have a favorite among the books you have written/illustrated? I always say that my books are like my kids and if I pick a favorite they will fight. But like my kids, each of my books is good at doing different things. So if you asked which books are my funniest, I might say Turk and Runt or Uncles and Antlers. If you asked which ones did I have the most passion for it would be Mammoths on the Move, Seadogs and Spinster Goose. If you asked which I liked to read aloud the answer would be, Bubble Gum Bubble Gum, Sixteen Cows, Jazz Baby and the Dino-Sport series. So every book is a favorite and every book is good at doing a different job.
What author do you really like right now? Phyllis Root will always be a favorite. But I also enjoy so many different authors–Amy Dyckman, Kelly DiPucchio, and Carolyn Crimi are a few of my favorite picture book authors.
What advice do you have for a kid who wants to be an author? Easy peasy–Read! Read everything. Read often. Fill your brain with words and story. That is the best way to learn to be a good writer. Then, write. Keep writing. practice, practice, practice.
It is nice to know that authors like to read other authors.

Finland crews revealed
Craig Breen/Paul Nagle to join Thierry/Nicolas and Andreas/Anders
We have announced our line-up for Rally Finland, the ninth round of the 2019 WRC season, with a new crew joining the team for a one-off appearance.
Craig Breen and co-driver Paul Nagle will compete in the #42 i20 Coupe WRC alongside Thierry/Nicolas and Andreas/Anders as part of a three-crew line-up.
We have put collective experience at the heart of our operation for one of the fastest and most challenging rounds on the WRC calendar. Craig and Paul will bolster our championship efforts as we aim to strengthen our 46-point lead in the manufacturers' standings.
"Rally Finland is a very particular type of event that warrants an approach like no other on the calendar," said our Team Director Andrea. "It's a huge challenge for teams and crews alike. Craig has demonstrated his class at this event in the past and has a lot of experience, which will be invaluable to us."
Getting familiar
"I am chuffed to be given this chance," said Craig. "It's been a long and patient wait, having to watch everyone else drive this year. I am honoured to have this one-off opportunity with Paul as my co-driver."
The Irishman took his first WRC podium in Finland in 2016, and has competed there each year since 2009, with the sole exception of 2013. He will have sufficient opportunities to get up to speed ahead of the WRC event. A seat fitting will be followed by a pre-event test, as well as participation in Rally Estonia (July 12-14). Andreas/Anders will also join that event as representative preparation for the fast Finnish stages.
"Finland is the rally I've done most in the WRC so I hope I can bring something to the team," Craig added. "I am getting plenty of seat time before Finland. It will remain a challenge but one I am ready to grasp with both hands. I'll be competing with the #42, a number I've raced with since my first year in karting in 1998, and that has always been very lucky. Let's hope it remains that way!"

« How long does it take to develop a story idea?
Recently, I've heard mixed things about Goodreads and Amazon, so I thought I'd explore a little more.
My initial and anecdotal impression has been that Goodreads encouraged fairly considered and balanced observations, while Amazon often offered either blatant adoration of a book or a flippant rejection. Goodreads reviewers were tied to a social profile where people discussed books in a wide variety of group, listed them, commented about reviews and interacted on a more personal basis. And importantly, until Amazon bought them, Goodreads was not directly tied to any retailer. Thus, it would seem Goodreads was more valuable to readers.
Well, neither Goodreads nor Amazon "reviews" are really reviews in the classic sense; they're recommendations, and anybody can contribute. Many customer reviews aim to provide readers with a reason to either read a book or pass it over. Some are short and sweet, others contain three or more paragraphs of well-supported argument. Some readers like to compare a book to others by the same author or to books by different authors but with similar themes.
These are conversations about books, or, more strictly, they are conversations people have on social media, because online review forums are social media; all part of a great big online book club. Like any social media, the system allowing open reader review of books can be abused; anyone can say anything they like about any book they wish. Both sites invite any reader to contribute; opinion of books is not limited to professional reviewers. As a result, reviews can vary widely, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.
I looked to see how some of my favourite novels were treated and found that Amazon raters were the most critical and Goodreads raters were generally closest to my own opinions about the books, but not always! Sometimes Amazon reviewers rated books on tangential issues like ebook pricing, slow shipping and cynicism, which drove the rating down – a shame as the intrinsic value of the work was not assessed.
So what did I conclude?
Well-reasoned ratings and reviews appear on both, but probably more on Goodreads. The best analysed the books in terms of what their creators intended to do. What did this author mean to achieve? Did he or she achieve it and how? How well?
Showing that books can contain good and bad but are still be worth reading is just one of the ways in which good reviewers can benefit readers. Other recommendations may be expressed in simple terms, but if they contain a lot of passion and enthusiasm they show the reader has become involved with the book and wishes to share those feelings, something equally valid. After all, a book is meant to take you into an emotional experience.
Customer appraisal is vital for decent online sales; in today's recommendation world this is indisputable. And I relish reading mine for the feedback – gold for any writer. But do readers today care whether they have access to other people's reviews and recommendations? What do you think?


Michael Jackson's father; Joe Jackson is planning to build a museum and possibly a casino, in the late singer's hometown of Gary, Indiana.
Gary's mayor, Rudy Clay, said the project would generate up to $150m for the town every year. "This project will be the magnet that will draw people from all over the world," he said.
City officials have donated 300 acres of land as the site for the Jackson Family Museum and Hotel and the Michael Jackson Performing Arts, Cultural Centre and Theatre.
It is hoped the project, expected to cost $300m, will draw 750,000 visitors a year to Gary, Indiana.
