Dr. Drew Pinsky, who downplayed COVID-19 back in March and described it once as a "press-induced panic," revealed he tested positive on Wednesday (December 30).
In an Instagram post, Dr. Drew said he's had strong symptoms of the coronavirus since Saturday. On Tuesday (December 29), his test came back positive. His wife and children have tested negative for the virus which has claimed the lives of over 300,000 Americans since March.
"Thanks for checking in on me, I appreciate all the kind shout-outs," he said.
A post shared by Dr. Drew Pinsky (@drdrewpinsky)
The 62-year-old Pinsky starred in the VH1 reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, pushing him to national prominence as the celeb doc who examined the addictive disorders of certain celebrities. He apologized in April for his prior statements where he downplayed the seriousness of the coronavirus.
"I wish I had gotten it right, but I got it wrong," Pinsky said.

Talley's FG sends Army to thrilling Armed Forces Bowl win
Cole Talley was rushed by teammates and coaches after he watched his 41-yard field goal sailed through the uprights.
The celebration was paused for a second as a penalty flag laid on the field at Amon G. Carter Stadium. A Missouri infraction was declined and pandemonium restarted in Fort Worth.
Talley, who was carried on the shoulders of teammates, walked off a 24-22 Army win over Missouri with the most clutch kicks of his college career.
"Going out there (for the kick), I couldn't stop thinking about everybody in this brotherhood," said Talley, who is from Rockwell, Texas less than an hour from Fort Worth. "They mean so much to me. I would do anything for them and I know they would do anything for me. I just love these guys so much. I'm just really happy."
Army players and fans couldn't have dreamt up the thrilling finish. Jabari Laws, who had worked his way back from two ACL tears, was summoned with 71 seconds left and the Black Knights trailing by a point. Laws, Army's third quarterback of the game, called his number on the first play for 13 yards and completed two passes to Isaiah Alston, the second to Mizzou's 24. The senior rushed to the left hashmark on the next play, setting the scene for Talley.
The junior, who missed from 43 yards out on Army's opening drive, delivered and Army had its first win over a Power Five School since it defeated Duke on Nov. 11, 2017. The Black Knights also remained perfect at the Armed Forces Bowl, winning for the fourth time in four trips.
Army finished with nine wins for the second straight season and won its fourth bowl game in the last six seasons.
Senior linebacker and captain Arik Smith was named the game's most valuable player. Smith made 12 tackles and added two sacks. After allowing Mizzou to score a touchdown on the game's opening drive, Army (9-3) held the Tigers to three field goals in the first half and was down 16-7 at the half.
Army opened the second half with one of its epic time-consuming drive. Jakobi Buchanan put an exclamation point on the possession discarding a Mizzou tackler en route to a 10-yard touchdown on the 17th play.
The Black Knights would take their first lead early in the fourth quarter when Tyhier Tyler, who replaced the injured Christian Anderson, threw his first touchdown pass of the season to Brandon Walters on a 4th-and-2 from Mizzou's 14. The touchdown pass made Army 5-of-5 on fourth down.
Anderson started the scoring for Army on a 22-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He left the game with an injured ankle in the third quarter and didn't return.
Buchanan led Army with 68 yards on 21 carries.
Missouri freshman quarterback Brady Cook rushed for a touchdown and threw a 6-yard score to Keke Chism with 1:11 left to give the Tigers back the lead.
Andre Carter recorded a sack to increase his Army single-season record to 15.5 and recovered a fumble. Junior captain Marquel Broughton had a team-high 14 tackles and forced a fumble.
David Rothauser
"On Brave Old Army Team…" Terrific game. Well deserved Army victory. Way to go Coach Monken and Army team.

6:04 PM Officers received a call from the emergency room of the Langlade Hospital reporting that a female on Lincoln Street was bitten by a bat. The bat was contained and the female victim had contacted the Department of Natural Resources about it.
Thursday, August 23rd
2:02 AM Officers stopped a vehicle at 5th Avenue and Superior Street. The female driver was cited for operating while intoxicated (prescription drugs), 1st offense and was given a written warning for an expired registration and illegal license plates.
11:31 AM Officers responded to a report of a minor accident in the parking lot of the Aspirus Antigo Clinic on 5th Avenue. Vehicle 2 was legally parked in the lot facing westbound. Vehicle 1 was backing out of a parking spot in front of Vehicle 2. The female driver of Vehicle 1 stated that she backed out and didn't see Vehicle 2.

4:52 PM Officers responded to report that a medical van parked on 5th Avenue needed assistance with a patient. The medical van driver was transporting a female patient from the New London hospital to a nursing home facility in Antigo. The male driver had stopped the van because the female patient was pulling on the steering wheel and opening the door, trying to escape. An officer rode along in the van with the driver and patient to the facility. Once there, the staff would not take her because the female was refusing. After some discussion, it was decided that the patient's female care taker would drive her back to the hospital in New London.
7:55 PM Officers responded to a report of a possible break in at an address on Charlotte Court, near the garage. The caller told officers that a vehicle was parked there and a male subject and a female subject were going through a garage. Officers located the male subject in the garage. He told officers that he lived in one of the apartments with two other subjects. Officers thought that the male was acting very strange and nervous. Officers could not get anyone to answer the door at the apartment and the male subject would not let them in.
10:36 PM Officers responded to a call from a male reporting that he had been assaulted at an apartment building on S. Superior Street. Officers found out that two male subjects had exchanged punches over revving engines and borrowed money. A third male subject later arrived and "got into it" with one of the other male subjects. The three male subjects were referred for disorderly conduct.
9:12 AM Officers responded to a call from a male reporting that he had struck a pole in the parking lot of an area business on Neva Road. The light pole was knocked over and across the lot. Cones were set up and the vehicle was towed.
7:33 PM Officers responded to a 911 call from a female on Forrest Avenue reporting that her friend was in and out of consciousness. The caller said that the female subject had taken her prescribed pain medications and had also been drinking. While assisting the Antigo Fire Department, officers observed a pipe, in plain view, on a kitchen table. The female subject also turned over a small amount of marijuana. She was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Saturday, August 25th
5:59 PM Officers responded to a 911 call reporting that a 1 ½ year old boy had been found on 5th Avenue. He was described as wearing a gray tank top with a monster truck on it. Shortly later, a second 911 call was received from a female reporting that a two year boy was missing from a residence on Deresch Street. Officers found out that two boys, a 3 year old and the 1 ½ year old were in a fenced back yard, had opened the gate and gotten out. The 1 ½ year old boy was found a ½ block away. Officers advised the children's great grandparents to be with the young children at all times.
Sunday, August 26th
4:05 PM Officers responded to a report of a two vehicle accident at Forrest Avenue and Superior Street. There were no injuries. One vehicle was towed.
LANGLADE COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS
Wednesday, August 22nd

7:41 PM Officers responded to a report of a possible intoxicated driver, headed westbound on Hwy. 64 from Cty. Rd. S. The caller told officers that the vehicle was swerving, hitting the centerline and driving westbound in the eastbound lane causing others to swerve. Officers stopped the vehicle at an area business on Hwy. 64. The 38 year old male subject was transported to the Safety Building.
11:40 PM Officers responded to a report of a possible intoxicated driver in a blue passenger car with an American flag on the back.

He was arrested for operating while intoxicated.
9:32 PM Officers responded to multiple 911 open line calls from a disconnected phone number. During the phone calls, a child could be heard and many people.

Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't work in either Safari or Firefox. Safari loads the movie just �... 30/11/2017�� I have downloaded and installed Flash Version 27.0.0.187 on my Macbook Air running High Sierra version 10.13.1 and it will not work with Safari Version 11.0.1.

What the last-gen Air lacked in performance, it made up in longevity. It could comfortably outlast the more powerful MacBook Pro away from the mains, and this new version can do the same.

VIPs play a very important role in the verification flow of modern SoCs. They can check the correctness of communication over system buses and provide master, slave, decoder, or arbiter components if these are missing in the verification set-up.
This article describes verification of RISC-V processors, focusing on the combination of automatically generated UVM verification environments by QVIP Configurator and Questa® VIP (QVIP) components and summarizes the step-by-step instructions that demonstrate how to add QVIP components into processor verification environments.


Purity rings (Worth The Wait Rings, Chastity Rings, Abstinence Rings, True Love Waits Rings, Promise Rings, are other names for Purity Rings) originated in the United States in the 1990s among Christians desiring to fulfill the Biblical model of waiting until marriage to become sexually active. Wearing a purity ring is typically accompanied by a signing a purity commitment card. Purity rings are often presented by parents to their children during church services/programs or purity balls, The purity ring thus symbolizes a spiritual agreement by parents to help their children keep a purity commitment. Purity rings also provide additional protection for students making purity commitments as they let others publicly know their commitment.
Students are encouraged to wear their purity ring until marriage. As part of their wedding ceremony they are encouraged to present their purity ring to their marriage partner symbolizing the fact that they waited until marriage to become sexually active. After marriage they are also encouraged to keep their purity ring and someday pass it along to their own children. Thus the purity ring becomes a legacy of a healthy love story to be passed from generation to generation.
Worth the Wait has been a pioneer organization in the designing, manufacturing, and sales of Purity Rings used both in purity services/programs that we do at churches and through our website worththewait.net. Worth the Wait has been designing, manufacturing and selling Purity Rings since 1995. Many thousands of students around the world wear Worth the Wait Purity Rings, and many have reported back to us beautiful stories of how their purity rings helped them maintain their commitment.


Perhaps rather more polite and soft spoken than your typical bomb, but totally the bomb nonetheless. As in this recent Daily Score post about the irrelevance of GDP, with the opening line, "This just cheeses me off." Or this little gem of a title: Less Driving Means Less Dying.

I often agree with Clark, but strongly disagree here. He has not shown any evidence that increasing supply hasn't decreased housing costs. I can show you evidence that it does (compare the price per square foot to the homes for sale curve here, for just one piece), and we're talking about very basic economics here (read my comments in his post).
I also don't believe there's an endless supply of wealth ready to move in to Seattle. If that was the case we wouldn't see projects stopping construction or turning into apartments, as you've pointed out.
Subsidized housing is certainly an option. But it creates other inequities involved in choosing the right people that deserve our tax money more than all of the others that could benefit (and let's not pretend that if we can't even house all of the wealthy that we can make a dent in housing all of the poor).
Matt – I'm not sure if you provided the right link. If you did, I'd have to argue with you on your conclusion that increased demand has led to decreased prices. As is often the danger with comparing two trends out of context, I think you're seeing correlation and not causation here. The cause for a drop in prices is not simply the increased supply. It's due to both moronically easy access to capital (which inflated prices) and the resulting sub-prime crisis, which has led to our current inability to access capital and general consumer fear.
Per subsidized housing, I think there are ways of structuring subsidies and other incentives so as to diversify between homeless, low-income, and workforce. That all being said, subsidies aren't the silver bullet – they are one tool in what should be a broad strategy put forward by the city. I haven't seen it yet.
Sure it's the right link. Take a look at the orange line between Oct 1 to Jan 1 – as housing stock increases, price goes down. Between Jan 1 and Apr 1 housing stock goes down, and prices level off. Apr 1 to now – as housing stock increases, price levels off and goes down.
Wait – "increased demand has led to decreased prices" – that wasn't my point at all. Increased supply leads to decreased prices. Demand, despite Dan's claims, is quite limited. Bump our housing stock up, and we can beat any rising demand and greatly reduce the overall housing costs.
Matt, I'm so glad you are here. You say everything I want to say, no matter the subject, but due so much more intelligently than my bumbling and often insulting method of argument. Thank you.
It looks like the message is getting lost in the mirth. The problem here is how to we get to low cost housing now? We shouldn't wait for the market to correct itself. By Matt's graphs that is painfully too long to wait while we need the housing now. Pendulum swings of supply and demand economics do not seem to be the solutions to creating low-income or workforce housing. We also shouldn't rely on government funding to bail us out of this problem. Certainly subsidies are helpful but as a country we could use a better mix of capitalism, socialism and philanthropy & good faith for each other's well being. I'm a bit of an idealist on these issues but it's pretty clear from where I sit that a lot of people are doing well while many people work hard to just barely get by.
also in Matt's graphs I would like to point out the $/sf cost. Anyone have thoughts or insights on what that number means to this discussion? Especially as it relates to profits?
"the bomb"? Yikes is it 1994 again?
Bump our housing stock up, and we can beat any rising demand and greatly reduce the overall housing costs.
I argue this topic quite often over at another blog. This italiczed is incorrect. Well, only partially correct to be generous.
Housing prices are not purely driven by macro supply and demand.
Micro factors are at play too – equilibrium for one. In fact, urban economics has arisen to try to get a handle on urban dynamics. (yo, Curtis, pipe in at any time).
For example, you can graph your equation for assuming the price decrease for increasing supply. But what will happen is that there will be a tipping point where QOL will go down due to lack of amenities/crowding/whatever – and too many houses in an area will decrease prices even more, as no one will be bidding up rents to obtain that housing, and equilibrium rents will fall as the area is no longer as desirable.
I should also say that in a place like Seattle with impediments to development – seismic, slope, water, etc., that there are limits to increasing supply – in fact, this blog likes to look at high-rises, which are being used to increase supply. Is this increase – market tanking notwithstanding – driving down SFD prices in, say, Wallingford, Ballard, Queen Anne? If someone can do this study and print it, it would go a long way toward validating whether simple supply increases will reduce prices. Seattle, IMHO, is likely the hardest market in the country (maybe SFO) to state that increasing supply will reduce prices. Too many things in the way.
MTE, if you must know, I had my infatuation with Ayn Rand about 20 years ago, read Atlas Shrugged and one or two other shorter ones. But over time her point of view began to seem more and more fable-like.
Book recommendation back at ya: For the Common Good, by Daly and Cobb. I would suggest checking out their discussion of the "fallacy of misplaced concreteness." Housing is not a simple commodity like socks.
Matt (and Dano) – Thanks for correcting my statement. I understood your point, just a typo. I'm not sold, though. We had increasing supply and increasing prices for a few years before the charts that you cite. Like I said, I think these two trends have correlation (there is some relationship between them), but you can't subtract out the effect of the sub prime crisis here. There is decreased demand right now because people are afraid to buy. Temporary oversupply is a result of subprime, as are leveling/dropping prices. We shouldn't rely on this type of market force to supply us with affordable housing!

A CASE OF ROYAL BLACKMAIL . . . Between the covers
Sherlock Holmes pastiches, if not a growth industry, provide regular and steady employment for many writers. There is an erudite and entertaining feature on Holmes impersonations by Stuart Radmore here, but now we have a new entrant to the lists. It is written by none other than the great man himself (of which more later) and the 24 year-old sleuth has stolen some of his future companion's thunder by recounting the case in his own words.
We are in London in the summer of 1879, and young Holmes has yet to meet the man who will write up his greatest cases. Holmes works for a guinea a day, and is striving to build his reputation. Within the first few pages, he has been hired to investigate two cases on behalf of a man who was already a celebrity, and another who would become infamous in his lifetime, but revered and admired after his death. The celebrity is Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, a notorious Lothario whose battleground has been country houses and mansions the length and breadth of the country, the vanquished being a long list of cuckolded husbands. It seems that the heir to the throne has been in the habit of entering his sexual achievements in a diary – a kind of fornicator's Bradshaw, if you will – but it has gone missing, and Holmes is charged with recovering it.
The second case is a strange request by a 25 year-old Irish aesthete and writer – one Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, who has lost – of all things – an amethyst tie-pin, a gift from his mother, the formidable Jane Francesca Agnes, Lady Wilde, and is desperate for Holmes to find it before an impending visit from Wilde mère.
One hundred pages in, and it is clear that the author is enjoying a glorious exercise in name-dropping. James McNeill Whistler, Lillie Langtry, Francis Knollys, Patsy Cornwallis-West, Frank Miles, Sarah Bernhardt, John Everett Millais and Rosa Corder (right) are just a few of the real life characters who make an appearance, and it is clear that 'Sherlock Holmes' moves in very elegant circles.
In the course of his investigations our man presages some of the talents for which he will later became famous when the as-yet-unmet Dr John Watson takes over the narrative. He disguises himself as a waiter at a royal banquet on one occasion, and manages to impress his clients with his uncanny observational skills. The case is complicated when Holmes becomes inadvertently involved with the attempt by scandal-sheets to sell papers off the back of the very public rift between Lillie Langtry and her husband Ned. The case of Oscar's missing tie pin rather goes on the back-burner as the hunt for the royal blackmailer intensifies, but it is resolved at the very end of the book with a rather delicious twist.
So just who, exactly, is this particular Sherlock Holmes? The last five words of the book reveal the true identity of the author, but I won't do all the work for you. A little clue that you can Google – this person is a peer of the realm, an old Etonian, and wrote the biography Never Fear: Reliving the Life of Sir Francis Chichester.
The worst that can be said of A Case of Royal Blackmail is that is a little over-egged with the cast of celebrity names, but once in a while we all need a few hours of enjoyable escapism, and this well-researched and cleverly plotted homage fits the bill perfectly. It is published by Affable Media, and is available now.
SHERLOCK HOLMES . . . Personation, pastiche and parody
Soon after his first short story appearance in 1891, Sherlock Holmes became a phenomenon. The first parodies, by JM Barrie and Robert Barr (friends of Arthur Conan Doyle), were published within months, and dozens of light-hearted short parodies and pastiches continued to appear regularly in magazines for the next twenty years or so.
Conan Doyle's final Holmes story appeared in 1927, and Conan Doyle himself died in 1930. From about 1940 "new adventures" by Holmesian specialists began to appear, fitfully, in magazines and private printings. More so than earlier pastiches, these tended to keep closely to the fictional world established by Conan Doyle. A selection of these tales was later collected in "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1985), edited by Richard Lancelyn Green.
Conan Doyle's copyright of his works originally lasted for fifty years after the author's death. These rights were jealously guarded by the Conan Doyle Estate, in the person of Adrian Doyle, the author's youngest son (above). So it's no surprise that he should be involved in the publication of the first authorised Holmes pastiches. These "Exploits of Sherlock Holmes" (1954) comprise twelve cases mentioned but never recorded in the original stories. They were to be written by Doyle and mystery writer John Dickson Carr, but Carr fell ill after writing (or co-writing) six tales, and the remainder were written by Doyle alone.
Looking at the Exploits, it's clear that the stories plotted by Carr are extremely imaginative. Carr was the master of the locked room mystery and he re-used ideas from his earlier writings here. The six stories by Adrian Doyle are closer to the language of the original Holmes stories. However, they are also closer in plot; each of the tales has taken its main story line from one of the Holmes adventures written by Conan Doyle. That said, it remains an enjoyable collection. Both men realised that the strength of the Holmes legacy lay in the short stories, which were generally superior to the novels.
The next pastiches were the by-product of two Sherlock Holmes films.
The first, Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper, by 'Ellery Queen' was published in 1967. This was a novelisation of the screenplay of 'A Study in Terror', co-produced by Sir Nigel Films Limited, a company formed by the Estate to exploit Conan Doyle's works on screen. The book added a framing story wherein Ellery Queen reads a manuscript (written by Dr Watson) which sets out the action shown in the film. Queen then applies his own detective skills to ascertain whether Holmes correctly identified the Ripper. The Ripper section of the book was the work of pulp writer Paul Fairman, and the Ellery Queen part by presumably 'Ellery Queen' himself. An early line of Dr Watson's narrative reads:
"It was a crisp morning in the fall of the year 1888″:
A warning for American writers attempting this sort of thing.
Next, in 1970, came The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, a novelisation (by Michael and Mollie Hardwick) of the screenplay of Billy Wilder's film of the same name. Again, produced in association with Sir Nigel Films. Wilder called the screenplay respectful but not reverential. The film was much cut by the studio before its release, and the resulting story is unwieldy and at times near parody. All this is reflected in the book. Still, some say it captures the Holmesian atmosphere reasonably faithfully.
The early 1970s saw a growing interest in Victorian/Edwardian detective fiction, and with Sherlock Holmes in particular. The Estate was aware that its copyrights would expire at the end of 1980, and authorised a number of Holmes pastiches (for which they took a share of the sale proceeds).
The first was Nicholas Meyer's The Seven Percent Solution (1974). A contemporary review states:-
"The story is couched as an alternative explanation for the period between Holmes's supposed death at the hands of Moriarty ('The Final Problem') and his resurrection ('The Empty House'). The hiatus which began with Holmes drying out extends into a case involving a pasha, a baron and a red headed temptress, during which Holmes instructs Freud in the mechanics of detection and gives some advice about the meaning of dreams."
This highly successful novel is influential for two reasons. It's the first story to mix Sherlock Holmes with real historical figures – in this case Sigmund Freud in 1890s Vienna – a plot device which has formed the dubious basis of countless tales since; and it's the first book to question the accepted facts of the canon. Nicholas Meyer would develop both these themes in his second Holmes pastiche The West End Horror (1976), set in London's 1890's theatreland.
Now the gates had opened. 1977/8 saw the publication of Loren D Estleman's Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula, Robert Lee Hall's Exit Sherlock Holmes, and Michael Dibdin's The Last Sherlock Holmes Story. The first is a re-telling of a Dracula legend, with Holmes involved in the investigation; the second a Moriarty Lives! tale with elements of science fiction in the conclusion, and the last a return to the world of Jack the Ripper. These novels can best be described as adventure stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, rather than Sherlock Holmes stories. None of them were bestsellers, but they have all been reprinted over the years and have in turn inspired many more variations on these themes.
A few years earlier, another promising seam was opened with the publication of The Return of Moriarty by John Gardner; the first of what now seems an never-ending series of books by various hacks featuring subsidiary characters from the canon.
Finally, to top off the decade's continuing fascination with all things Holmesian, 1979 saw the release of the film Murder by Decree – a grafting of Sherlock Holmes onto Steven Knight's then popular Freemasonry/Ripper theories. A novelisation of the screenplay duly followed.
Now seems a convenient place to stop. By December 1980 when the Doyle copyrights initially expired (they were extended to 2000 a few years later) almost all the elements of the present day copyright-free Sherlock Holmes industry were in place. For good or ill, all had been authorised by the Conan Doyle Estate.
From now on, almost all the pastiches were in the form of novels (short stories required too much work, and didn't sell).
This presented a problem. The original Holmes novels are structurally flawed; the author cannot present a very intelligent central character with a case to solve, and then have that character take two hundred pages to solve it without making him look slow or obtuse. Sub-plots, or a back story, must be introduced to fill the pages. This is why the genius of Holmes (and Doyle) is best seen in the short stories.
Conan Doyle only once solved this conundrum – with The Hound of the Baskervilles – the pasticheurs never have.

Once the fiber is in the dirt, what do you do with it? What opportunities do blazing fast internet speeds create, and how do you leverage these opportunities to the benefit of everyone in your smart, connected community?
These were the central questions of June's Smart Community Innovation Summit, a co-located convening of several national smart cities initiatives including the Global Cities Team Challenge and the US Ignite Application Summit.
For the third year, Mozilla partnered with US Ignite to share our Gigabit Community Fund projects at the Summit. Kansas City teams Pennez, The Gigabots, and PlanIt Impact joined Chattanooga team ViatoR to showcase their Mozilla-supported educational technology projects in front of the 1500+ conference attendees. Response to these gigabit-fueled educational projects was enthusiastic, and ViatoR – a virtual reality language learning tool – even won awards for Best Use of Low Latency and Best in Show at the US Ignite application showcase!
Mozilla's Gigabit Hive work is an effort to connect technologists, informal educators, and classroom teachers to help shape the future of the Web. We're connecting leaders across these sectors to bring in more voices as beta-testers and co-creators of gigabit tech. In so doing, we're helping to build a more inclusive gigabit innovation ecosystem and making sure that the reality of these high-speed networks lives up to their promise. So while the application showcase highlighted the possibilities of gigabit speeds ("what do you do with it?"), Mozilla focused our 2016 Summit programming on expanding these opportunities to new corners of gigabit cities ("how do you you leverage these opportunities to the benefit of everyone in your community?"). Through panels and a design activity, we encouraged Summit participants to explore how gigabit networks could be used as a tool to overcome – rather than to reinforce – existing barriers and digital divides in their communities.
Using the design exercise worksheet below, participants worked in groups to share the challenges related to one of the above barriers, to explore the opportunities that would emerge from overcoming it, and to imagine some first steps towards solutions. From advocating for school policy changes with regard to firewalls to making sure that city websites were free of high-tech jargon, participants explored a range of possible solutions to the stated barriers. More important than the potential solution ideas generated though was the recognition and mapping of these common barriers across gigabit cities.
Mozilla's Gigabit Hive initiative uses gigabit implementation and innovation as a catalyst to start important conversations about digital inclusion and web literacy. Because high-speed networks are meaningless if everyday citizens lack the ability to participate in and benefit from these speeds, these conversations are critical to the smart and connected communities of the future. By connecting innovators and leaders from across sectors beyond standard technologist communities, Gigabit Hive amplifies these conversations in Kansas City, Chattanooga, Austin, and two new cities to be announced in 2017. If you would like to explore how you can leverage gigabit speeds to overcome divides and barriers in your own community, you can apply to become the next Gigabit Hive city by November 9.


**Winner** Sustainable Building Award Marrickville Medal 2016. The Marrickville hempcrete house is an alteration addition to an existing single storey semi detached house in Sydney. Acoustic requirements for aircraft noise and a shared chimney made this a challenging project. We wanted to achieve the right solution that did not compromise thermal performance and aesthetic of the project. Whilst complying with acoustics we have manged to create a building that will not only have good acoustics, but will provide incredible thermal performance with over R5.6 insulation in the roof and R2.85 in the walls. Hempcrete has been used in both the walls and the roof. This has been an incredible collaborative process with a dedicated builder with a great eye for detail. The owners moved in at the end of November 2015 and have already experienced temperatures of 27 degrees internally when externally the temperature hit 40 degrees.
Recycled spotted gum cladding has been used over the hempcrete walls on the First floor of the additions. Zincalume sheeting, gutters and downpipes. Scaffolding has been removed. External walls waiting for final render.

The applications for Java Native Access are limited only by the functions and parameters that the external DLL files allow. In this post, we discuss how JNA can be used to obtain the process identifying number of the calling process.
As can be seen from the function signature, this takes in no parameters at all.
We begin, next, by creating a new Java application project (I prefer Netbeans IDE). We then, link the necessary jna-4.2.2.jar to the project, and create a new package. Though the creation of the latter is not necessary, it is nonetheless an excellent practice.
On examining the single class file, it becomes evident that the interface name Kenl32 does not need to be identical to the primary file name of Kernel32.dll. In fact, this can be any regular valid name so long as it is uniformly addressed. Ditto in case of the instance variable INNE.
The most significant component of the whole code is the method public int GetCurrentProcessId() which gathers the integer return value from the function call Kenl32.INNE.GetCurrentProcessId().
That, so far, is described as convenient reuse of single instance of the library.
Personally, though, I prefer the second approach. Although more complex, this approach allows to have a finer degree of control.
We begin by creating an appropriate package in the same project. A simple interface is all that is required.
We create a suitably appropriate class to return the process ID number.
Many would find the second way of coding to be cleaner and perhaps slightly more structured.
Users may note that the packages, interfaces and classes have been randomly named. This has been done intentionally to show the degree of customization possible with the interface and instance names.
The author wishes to acknowledge the contributions of Mr. Rajesh Bose. Mr. Bose is a research scholar and an eminent author of papers in the field of Cloud and IoT computing. Mr. Bose has also written a book titled A Deep Vista of the fascinating world of Cloud Computing. He is currently writing another book in IoT which is soon to be published. Mr. Bose holds keen interest in Java programming in his quest to develop interesting models in Cloud and IoT computing.
The world of Java programming has always been exciting. Java won over the hearts and minds of programmers owing to its portability, ruggedness and, of course, object-oriented programming features.
However, many would argue that Java has played second fiddle to its more distinguished brethren - C and C++. That has been due to the fact that it does not offer seamless integration with dynamic linked library files (DLLs on Windows, and shared objects (SO files) on Linux). The path to integration has been through complex and often time-consuming process of Java Native Interface programming.
The Java Native Access library - which this post attempts to introduce - was developed and rolled out almost nine years ago, to mitigate the problems associated with linked library files integration. More specifically, this library allowed less of clutter and frees the developer to think and focus more on the problem, rather than get mired in complexities involving Java Native Interface.
In the course of the years in which I have produced software using Java, I have always come across issues that required attention to certain programming aspects that went way beyond what could be achieved efficiently using Java. In most cases, I found the need to dig deeper into operating system internals in order to make certain features come alive.
The Java Native Access Library has been around longer than the time I ever first came into contact with it. Indeed my first search yielded several blogs in prominent online Java journals. However, most were either abstruse or esoteric for me to understand. Even now, after several projects' worth of experience, most of the programs produced in such blogs, fine though that they are, throw up errors when put in practice.
The Java Native Access Library itself depends upon a small dynamic link library to perform its intended functions. The very excellent Getting Started with JNA page provides all necessary details to get up and running in almost no time at all. What follows next, however, is an implementation of how a Java program can be built with the help of Java Native Access library.
We shall cut through the obvious and perhaps basic steps of setting up an IDE, Java SDK, and importing the required jna library. In the following example, I use jna-4.2.2.jar file.
At this point, I would like to present a frank admission. The interface, and the class file that follows hereafter, is a copy from the very excellent article written by Jeff Friesen for Java World.
However, there is something about this interface that sets it apart from the one that Mr. Friesen had composed over eight years ago. But before, we begin discussing the difference, the accompanying class file is presented for the impatient.
The instance tine has been purposely spelled that way to obviate the possibility of confusing the same with java.time.
It is the interface that is most interesting part in the whole program. Mr. Friesen has produced a lucid explanation on how this functions. I would not even presume to elaborate on this, simply because there could be little value added to what he has already written. What, however, is interesting is that the interface that he wrote over eight years ago, throws up errors if produced verbatim.
It appears that the static class [SYSTEMTIME] inside the interface needs to override the getFieldMethod() which resides in the abstract class com.sun.jna.Structure that the static class extends!
The purpose of the above method is to obtain the list of field names in the order these actually appear in the SYSTEMTIME structure of Kernel32.dll.
In fine, programming with Java Native Access is interesting. It invokes host of opportunities that are not easily replicated through pure Java coding. Through this blog post, I intended to share my initial experiences unraveling the complexities associated with native codes.

How Bilfinger Profits from the Growth Market Oil & Gas in North America
Petrochemical Industry in North America How Bilfinger Profits from the Growth Market Oil & Gas in North America
23.01.2019 Author: Anke Geipel-Kern
The petrochemical industry is booming in North America, and Bilfinger North America wants its share of the growth. The service provider is currently doing good business with three large projects, and the orders already received for 2019 are promising another good year. The PROCESS editorial team was able to get a picture of these projects during a press trip.

Terrance Ivers, Executive President of Bilfinger North America: "We are running a 900 million dollar business in North America."
(Source: PROCESS)
Houston/USA — Even in the USA, the country of superlatives, people say that everything is just that little bit bigger in Texas. Terrance Ivers, Executive President of Bilfinger North America since 2016, seems to completely confirm the cliché. Standing tall at an impressive height of six and a half feet, he effortlessly towers above his surroundings. "We are running a 900 million dollar business here," explains the Texan with confidence, knowing full well that the company operates in an intensely competitive environment.
Client List Contains Big Names
The company employs 4000 people under the management of Ivers, and they are distributed across four regions in the USA. Bilfinger has two fields of business in North America: Engineering & Technology, plus Maintenance, Modifications & Operations. The company focuses on six branches of industry, including chemical, oil & gas, the food industry and consumers. The list of clients contains some big names: US Methanol, Linde, Braskem and Procter & Gamble among others. According to Terry, which is what he likes to be called, North America is a growth market.
Major Plant Engineering GROAB is a project database for international major plant engineering and construction. You can find more than 6300 projects within 13 categories. Learn more about GROAB and test the database.
That was not always the case in the past. But since the shale gas has been flowing, international corporations have been investing in the USA. The American petrochemical industry has also been feeding its crackers with shale gas and thus profiting from the lower costs that have helped the industry gain an edge against competitors in the Middle East. This is also shown on the balance sheets of Bilfinger: more than half of turnover is accounted for by oil and gas, and a third of that comes from petrochemical, explains the boss of North American operations.

Healthy orders for EPC projects
Bilfinger Westcon is currently benefiting the most from the boom in the oil & gas industry. With its headquarters in Houston, this division specializes in installation/assembly and capital-intensive projects. Here, by far the most risk-laden work package is the EPC trio: Engineering/Procurement/Construction. But the North Americans understand their business. In the last three years, they have invested a lot of time in managing project risks and have developed some viable and sustainable concepts. The current flagship project is the polypropylene plant of Braskem America in La Porte with an order value of 679 million dollars.
As the clearly delighted Bilfinger CEO Tom Blades explained, this high order volume was a real turning point for Bilfinger and underlined the company's installation expertise.

"SERIES 1" FASHION FILMS – FIRST OPUS
Louis Vuitton's campaign, "Series 1", was designed as an invitation to convey ideas of a designer and fashion collection. Discover now the first video by Annie Liebovitz.
In this latest campaign, the Maison breathes new life into the valuable idea of innovation and ways in which to express it. Annie Leibovitz, Juergen Teller and Bruce Weber produced three photographic stories on the same day, at the same time, in very different venues, to express this very feeling.
Annie Leibovitz shot pictures of Charlotte Gainsbourg in the studios of artists Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden and Storm King Art Center in New York. Further beyond the print campaign, go "behind the scenes" with this short film.

Nitrate-nonutilizing mutants used to study heterokaryosis and vegetative compatibility in Glomerella graminicola (Colletotrichum graminicola)
Lisa J. Vaillancourt, Robert M. Hanau
Nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants of Glomerella graminicola were recovered by selecting chlorate-resistant sectors. Heterokaryons were formed by complementation between two different classes of nit mutants. Complementation groups were distinguished in nitrogen feeding tests and segregated as two, unlinked genes among random progeny of sexual crosses. The two genes are comparable to those encoding the nitrate reductase enzyme and one of a series of molybdenum cofactors in Aspergillus nidulans and Neurospora crassa. Heterokaryon tests were reliable indicators of allelic and dominance relationships between mutations with similar phenotypes. Vegetative compatibility (VC) between two strains of G. graminicola appeared to be regulated by approximately five unlinked VC loci, analogous to those described for other fungi.

Eric Gruenstein is a professor of molecular genetics and neuroscience at UC Medical School and founder of the Green Partnership for Greater Cincinnati: a collaboration between six regional institutions whose goal is to encourage and support efforts that will improve environmental performance. Eric's project, Biochar, taught children and their families how to use biochar, charcoal used as soil amendment, to produce healthy vegetables and to remove greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. His hope was to mitigate the dangers of climate change and to improve nutrition through awareness.


The naïve entrepreneur thinks he can relax, after he finally cashes the check from a professional investor, but in reality that's when the work and the pressure starts. His first reality reset is that now, maybe for the first time, he really has a boss, or several bosses, and often very demanding ones at that.
Angel and venture capital investors rarely just give you the cash, and stand back to wait for you to spend it the way you want. First of all, they are usually more experienced than you in your own business domain, so they have strong views on what it takes to succeed, and probably would prefer it done their way.
One or more seats on the Board. Maybe you had an informal Advisory Board before, but now you have a formal Board of Directors. That means you shouldn't expect to make any strategic decisions or pivots without their approval. You should also plan for a formal presentation to the board each month, with many communications in between.
Manage to documented milestones. A normal part of a funding agreement is a set of accomplishments, with dates, that you are expected to achieve in order to remain in good standing and qualify for remaining distributions. These are not optional suggestions, so treat them as management objectives that will get you fired if you don't perform.
Personal visits from key investors. Both angel investors and venture capital partners like to make personal visits to your facility or a regular basis, sometimes unannounced, to see how the business is running. You should expect to personally host these visits, and openly answer any questions or concerns that are raised. Do not delegate.
Number of proactive contacts from you. In addition to the visits, every investor expects to be contacted and updated proactively and judiciously on key decisions or issues. A quick way to lose investor confidence is to always wait for the investor to call, or inversely to call the investor incessantly for every minor decision.
Access rights to operational information. All investors have information rights which are detailed in the shareholders rights agreement. These are usually extrapolated to mean they expect you to share key operational data, such as the sales pipeline, vendor discussions, and quality issues, at any time. Don't keep secrets from your investors.
Extra focus on cash flow. Remember, it's their cash, so treat it like gold. Because you now have money in the bank, now is not the time to lease a lavish office building, or travel around the world first-class on company business. Pinching pennies like you did in the early days is still the only approach.
It is also to your advantage to keep track of how your company performance compares to others in the investor's portfolio. You may think you are doing well, but if your numbers put you at the bottom of their ranking, you may need to decide that taking more risk is better than the risk of being cut from the pack.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you are one of the top performers, a VC may "encourage" you to take big risks and swing for a home run, even when a base hit or double would be a smarter move from your perspective. In other words, you no longer have full control, and you don't need any surprises, just like the investor doesn't want any.
The simple fact is that your whole world as an entrepreneur changes when you take someone's else's money. Do it with your eyes open. Investor relationships are like social relationships – sometimes it's better to be alone than to wish you were alone.
