Summer is creeping closer with hotter days, and our Ecostation is bustling with researchers. The Te Mana o Te Moana team is logging more and more kilometers on island beaches and recording green sea turtle nests, and the Institute Louis Malarde team is searching for the last remnants of mosquitos on Onetahi. This month we also welcomed a group of researchers from the University of Washington that are starting a major program to understand the effects of rat removal on seabird populations. Rat eradication is slated for September next year and this is the first of a huge amount of "before" research that needs to be done before that time. This month we are launching a fund-raising drive to support this important work. (Please see our letter below.)
Tetiaroa Society Ambassadors visit Noumea
It is not very obvious to most visitors to Tetiaroa that it is actually part of a municipal commune that includes the town of Arue on the north end of Tahiti. As such the mayor of Arue is also the mayor of Tetiaroa. Tetiaroa Society recognizes this connection by working with the mayor, and elders, and schools of Arue for the Education Program. Last month, the mayor's office invited Tetiaroa Society to participate with schools and municipal officials in a festival that celebrated the relationship between Arue and its "twin" city of Mont-Dore in New Caledonia. Two representatives of TS, Hinano Murphy and Tihoni Maire, travelled with the Arue delegation to Mont-Dore and shared information about Tetiaroa Society's programs with the participants.

Kaveka - Sooty Tern
As Polynesians voyaged across the Pacific, the Sooty Tern or kaveka, would have played a large role. As the most abundant seabird in Oceania it would have been seen on the open ocean and used as an indicator of fish or land. Then, when Polynesians landed on a new island it would have served as food, in particular the eggs were an important resource.
In modern times however world-wide trends show the Sooty Tern population dropping. Like all other ground nesting birds, they are susceptible to human harvesting of eggs and predation by introduced cats, pigs, and rats.
Tetiaroa therefore is a critical site for the future of these birds in the region.
On Tetiaroa they can only nest in places where they have open ground and no rats, which means only on one of the smallest islands of the Tetiaroa atoll, Tahuna Iti (Bird Island). These birds will be on of the biggest beneficiaries of the upcoming rat eradication since they will be free to move to other open spaces.
Sooty Terns are well known for their long ocean flights and massive breeding colonies. But they are also known for their call. They have a very distinctive call that sounds like the English, "wide awake" and it is loud. The Hawaiian name for this species, ewa ewa means cacophony.

Baseline study of seabirds of Tetiaroa Atoll
Beth Gardner and Sarah Converse, both professors at the University of Washington led a research team to Tetiaroa this month. Their work involves doing a component of the baseline study on the seabirds of the atoll in the year before rat eradication. They explain their work here...
An open letter to our supporters...
Dear Friends of Tetiaroa Society,
As wildfires and coral bleaching devastated even the wealthiest of places in 2019, the impacts of climate change are coming starkly into focus. With indications of the impending human and ecological disaster from global warming evident now from California to Australia, the task can seem overwhelming. Apart from lobbying governments to ramp up more than their rhetoric, what can be done?
We are writing to you about one action that could help prevent the collapse of one of the planet's richest and most important ecosystems: coral reefs. French Polynesia has been identified as one of the regions where corals are still relatively intact and stand a chance of making it through the century. But we need to maximize their capacity to withstand the coming 'storm'. Scientists and conservation agencies are excited about one new approach and we have a unique opportunity on Tetiaroa to demonstrate its efficacy.
In 2020, we are launching a major program to restore Tetiaroa's native seabird populations, establish the atoll as a sanctuary for translocating endangered terrestrial birds, and scientifically demonstrate how invasive rodent eradication can enhance coral reef resilience to the climate emergency.
Invasive species are a leading cause of extinctions and biodiversity loss around the world. By eradicating invasive, non-native species – introduced primarily by humans – we can help prevent extinctions and protect natural biodiversity. This is well established. But now we have an opportunity to go further.
There is strong evidence to expect significant increase in coral reef resilience due to the restoration of natural levels of nutrient cycling through rat eradication and the resultant increase in seabird populations. With the scientific capacity on Tetiaroa, we have a chance to conclusively demonstrate that rat eradication represents a valuable new tool to improve the resiliency of coral reefs to warming waters and ocean acidification.
We are exceptionally well placed to mobilize the necessary team of local and international scientists. We already have a team of over 20 scientists to validate the concept and, importantly, help scale it worldwide.
This opportunity has been made possible by two of the largest donations we have ever received. Richard Bailey, President of Pacific Beachcomber, has committed $450,000 in matching funds.
Island Conservation, the world's foremost organization in preventing island extinctions, is providing another $100,000.
We are now seeking $250,000 by year end. We hope you will join us in this effort by contributing to this important project by year end. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated. You can contribute either online at tetiaroasociety.org or by check sent to Tetiaroa Society, c/o David J. Seeley, PO Box 908, Kirkland, WA 98083-0908.
Thank you for your continued friendship and support.

No matter how many women are in a movie if you don't give them agency it's still sexist
Posted on April 25, 2014 by reelentropy
Overtly Sexist Media Inc. presents The Other Woman.
Leslie Mann, an actor, Nicki Minaj, a singer, Cameron Diaz, an actor, and Kate Upton, a model, star in The Other Woman. They're wearing heels. They're always wearing heels. Photos courtesy 20th Century Fox.
The movie follows Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz), the main character, Kate King (Leslie Mann), the dumb one of the group, and Amber (Kate Upton), the other dumb one of the group, as they avenge themselves on Kate's husband, Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who had been sleeping with all of them and others. This starts about an hour and a half in — there's a lot of bonding first.
The film is a Lifetime movie with a bigger distribution. It's the kind of movie that pulls models and rappers for major roles instead of real actors. It's extremely skewed toward women, one of those movies that assumes the target demographic doesn't know anything about movies, so it ends up being a montage of actors from the demographic being vaguely stupid on camera.
The comedy is a parade of poop jokes, slapstick and Kate King and Amber being offensively stupid for comedic effect. The lone bright spot is Coster-Waldau, who is so polite and earnest he actually could be sleeping with three women.
The Other Woman is nothing surprising (and nothing you couldn't find endless copies of on basic cable), but it is a sad look into the paradigm of women in film. Even with three in lead roles, the movie doesn't pass the Bechdel Test.
You know what, I'd be just fine sharing this guy. Would not be a problem.
The degree to which the main characters are dependent on their beaux is staggering. Over the course of the film, Whitten: talks at length with her assistant (Niki Minaj, somehow) and father (Don Johnson) about, what else, men; seemingly drops the important case she was given at the beginning of the film because she's too busy chasing King around the world — it's used for informed character development and never mentioned again; corrals the stupid ones in their King-centered quest for revenge; and falls in love with someone entirely unrelated because she has to end up with someone or she just wouldn't be happy.
Kate King: is very stupid, repeatedly mentions giving up her entire life for her husband and, subsequently, allows revenge on him to become her entire life.
Amber: is very stupid and also finds another boyfriend because happy endings. There's really no activity that doesn't revolve around Mark King or another man.
It's not funny, it's not new and it's not going to change ever. Don't waste time on this. Ugh.

Creative New Zealand: Calls for proposals for Te Manu Ka Tau 2015 Showcases
Deadline Monday 1 December
Creative New Zealand in association with the Auckland Arts Festival is calling for proposals from theatre, dance, music and cross artform companies and artists to showcase work for international presenters. This will take place during the Auckland Arts Festival, 7 – 14 March 2015 as part of Creative New Zealand's annual Te Manu Ka Tau programme
Showcases will be held in both Auckland and Wellington, depending on the home base of successful companies/artists.
Current possible showcase dates are:
Auckland: Monday 9, Tuesday 10, Wednesday 11 March
Wellington: Thursday 12 and Friday 13 March
Final dates will be confirmed after TMKT guest's schedules are finalised.
Costs associated with your showcase will not be eligible for additional funding from either Creative New Zealand or the Auckland Arts Festival, but a venue and some technical support may be provided.
Artists and organisations must be able to provide up to 20 minutes of a work that is complete and ready for touring. We are looking to provide some central city venues, so that our international manuhiri can experience as many showcases as possible within a limited time-frame. However, if you have specific venue requirements or wish to present in your own rehearsal rooms please include this in your proposal.
We will also consider pitches for works that are in development, depending on available time, especially if the works have an Asian partner or are wishing to find a presenter in Asia. Please include any Asian connection in your proposal and your reasons for wishing to engage with Asia.
The opportunity to submit a proposal closes at 5pm on Monday 1 December 2014 and decisions will be made by Friday 19 December. Late proposals will not be accepted. The proposals will be assessed by a panel made up of Creative New Zealand staff, the Auckland Arts Festival Artistic Director, the New Zealand Festival Artistic Director and at least one independent industry representative.
The company must be a Creative New Zealand client; for example previously or currently funded though the Toi Tōtara Haemata, Toi Uru Kahikatea or Arts Grants/Quick Response funding processes.
The company must provide evidence of national and/or international touring experience and have suitable work appropriate for international markets.
The company must be available for touring in 2015 and 2016.
The company must have the rights to tour the work internationally.
The work to be showcased must be described fully (synopsis, story board and/or DVD, YouTube links provided) and evidence of availability of artists to perform in the showcase must be confirmed in writing.
The work to be showcased should be a completed work that has already been presented, is about to be presented, or is a work in development that has been well progressed. Key company personnel other than performers, for example director and producer, must be available to attend and speak to the work via a Q and A process.
Companies must be aware that although a venue will be provided, the venue will come with limited production facilities for showcases so the company/artist will need to cover the costs of any specialist equipment.
The proposal should include; name of the work, art form, stage of development, previous performances, if any, a description of the intended audience for work and reasons for wishing to tour internationally, and in which markets.
The proposal should be brief and to the point.
Reviews or critical commentary should be attached to the proposal, which should be no more than four A4 pages. Please do NOT attach lengthy CVs or bulky back ground paper-based information. Support letters from other Festival directors and venue presenters are useful.
YouTube or vimeo is the preferred visual support material.

The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA
Annual residency program for composers and performers – July 13-Aug 2, 2015
Application Deadline: Thurs, January 15, 2015
http://www.bangonacan.org/summer_festival
The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) is a three-week residency and musical utopia for innovative composers and performers dedicated entirely to adventurous contemporary music. We will write it. We will perform it. We will think about it and we will talk about it. Composers will have their works performed. Players will perform in ensembles sitting alongside their teachers. There are daily recitals in the museum galleries, and the residency concludes with a six-hour blow-out Marathon Concert featuring performances by the student/faculty ensembles. The program also includes world music workshops, an orchestra of original instruments, technology and music business seminars and more.
Past participants have said: Bang on a Can has changed my life. I never thought it would be possible to find a community that is devoted to new music with such a high caliber of musicianship, such enthusiasm and mutual supportiveness, and such a sense of joy for everything we do. I know I'll be looking to recreate this feeling in my future collaborations, always.
Bang on a Can is really everything I want the music world to be — inclusive, engaging, innovative, fun, thought-provoking, beautiful, challenging, and rewarding. The festival brings all of that and more directly into focus, and it has made all the difference in the word to have been a part of it.
The faculty will be drawn from among the most innovative musicians of our time from ensembles including Bang on a Can All-Stars, eighth blackbird, California EARUnit and more: Gregg August, bass; Ashley Bathgate, cello; Vicky Chow, piano; David Cossin, percussion; Michael Gordon, composition; David Lang, composition; Brad Lubman, conducting; Nicholas Photinos, cello; Vicki Ray, piano; Todd Reynolds, violin; Mark Stewart, guitar; Ken Thomson, saxophone/clarinet; Julia Wolfe, composition; and more special guests!
The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA is located in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. MASS MoCA presents exhibitions and performances by renowned artists and cultural institutions, but it also is a place where the process of creativity is explored. Bang on a Can is thrilled to work with them in building a bridge between the arts.

The largest city in the state of Connecticut, Bridgeport is located on the shores of the Pequonnock River and the Long Island Sound. It has a population of about 144,000 and there is a rich history associated with this region. It was first settled in the mid-17th century, when it became a center of trade. Today, it is town that is reinvesting in its historic downtown area and several of its neighborhoods.Residents here experience hot tropical weather in the summer and cold winters with a mix of rain and snow. There are two very large parks that are popular area residents, Beardsley in the north and Seaside in the south. They are close to many of the area's best restaurants. Bridgeport also has the area's only zoo. This is an excellent place to raise a family, with low crime rates and plenty of things to do.There are many young people in town since it is home to the University of Bridgeport, which is also one of the city's main employers. There is plenty of nightlife in the area, but that does not mean the town is not popular with senior citizens. There are cultural options that include the Housatonic Museum of Art and minor league sports, such as hockey in the winter and baseball in the summer months.

Ask about post-repair ADAS calibrations, Boston Globe advises consumers
By Dave LaChance on November 28, 2022
Announcements | Collision Repair | Education | Repair Operations | SCRS Affiliate Associations
The Boston Globe has published an article advising consumers to make certain that their vehicles' advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) components have been calibrated after repair, warning that many shops skip this "vital safety step."
The article, by staff writer Hiawatha Bray, points out what all repairers know but consumers might not: Even a minor collision might result in a sensor being out of alignment, with potentially serious consequences for the driver and other motorists.
Still, "many repair shops don't bother" to carry out calibrations, the Globe reported. "They lack the costly equipment, trained technicians, and even the floor space needed to calibrate safety sensors. And so thousands of 'repaired' cars are driving around with unreliable ADAS sensors that might not warn the driver of potential disaster."
"I think the majority of the shops are definitely not doing it," Kevin Gallerani, owner of Cape Auto Body in Plymouth and president of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Massachusetts (AASP-MA), told the Globe. "I hate to say this. I'm probably going to get murdered for this article, but there needs to be a wakeup call."
Gallerani tied the issue to Massachusetts' lowest-in-the-nation $40 auto body labor rate, though the Globe mistakenly attributed that to a "Massachusetts insurance law" that does not exist. Gallerani said that "with pay scales so low, body shops can't afford to install calibration gear and train their workers to use it," the Globe reported.
The Globe also quoted another shop owner, Mike Johnson of Crown Collision Solutions in Bridgewater, on financial considerations: "The shops cannot keep up with the technology and invest enough time and money in their people and equipment. They're in survival mode."
The article cites data from CCC Intelligent Solutions showing that about 60% of passenger vehicles in the U.S. have at least one ADAS system on board, and that the number is increasing. Such "sophisticated systems" as blind-spot warnings, lane-keep assist, and adaptive headlamps, once found only on premium vehicles, are becoming standard equipment on all lines.
Chris Chesney, vice president of training at Repairify, told the Globe that the need for calibration can be triggered by something as simple as removing a bumper cover to replace a vehicle's water pump.
ADAS-equipped cars "have radar transmitters under the bumpers, which must be checked for proper alignment," the Globe said, while "other ADAS features, like steerable headlights, require recalibration every time the car undergoes a simple wheel alignment." (In many cases, realignment is necessary prior to calibration, rather than the other way around.)
The article does not delve into the issue of reimbursement by insurers. According to a 2021 "Who Pays for What?" survey conducted by Mike Anderson of Collision Advice and the CRASH Network, 88% of insurers pay for ADAS calibration "always" or "most of the time." The survey also found that most shops are billing for the work, with just 1.0% to 2.9% saying they never do, depending on the carrier.
"It is encouraging that most shops are getting reimbursed for this, but I am unsure of why it's not 100 percent," Anderson said in the survey, conducted in October 2021. "It is also critical that shops research what calibrations are required after a suspension alignment as this is an operation that we increasingly see.
"Also, even if a vehicle has a dynamic calibration, it may require a specific test drive to achieve the set conditions. The test drive would be a separate line-item operation," Anderson said.
Shops may face a challenge in getting their bill paid in full, with online forums full of concerned posts about carrier denials restricting reimbursements for both in-house and sublet costs.
Some in the industry have noted that not all ADAS calibration work required by OEMs is being done by repair shops. During a December 2021 Collision Industry Electronic Commerce Association (CIECA) webinar, Nick Dominato, then Repairify's senior vice president of product, said that only one in three 2020 vehicles that need a calibration were actually getting one.
Dominato encouraged shops to integrate OEM procedures into their workflow. "We've got a huge influx of vehicles being produced with emergency braking systems" and other ADAS technologies, he said, "and the collision industry is not ready for it. We're not up to snuff yet, and it really does matter."
Until calibration becomes universal, "owners of ADAS-equipped cars must look out for themselves, by asking technicians a simple question: 'Do you calibrate?'" the article concludes.

One Country, Two Legal Systems?
Joseph R. Crowley Program
From May 31 to June 13, 1999, the Joseph R. Crowley Program in International Human Rights (or "delegation") conducted a mission in Hong Kong in conjunction with the Committee on International Human Rights of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York ('Association' or 'ABCNY '). The purpose of the mission was to examine the status of the rule of law in Hong Kong two years after the transition from British to Chinese rule. This Special Report documents the delegation's investigation, summarizes its findings, and sets forth its conclusions and recommendations. Part I considers the rule of law as a foundation of international human rights and China's obligations under international law to protect the rule of law in Hong Kong. After recounting the right of abode decisions themselves, it examines both the legality and prudence of the HKSAR administration's request for a reinterpretation, including the alternatives that it could have pursued. This Part concludes by analyzing the reinterpretation that Beijing issued and the effect it has had, or is likely to have, on subsequent related cases. Part II examines Hong Kong's progress towards full democracy, measuring that progress against the Basic Law and international law. It begins by reviewing the relevant international obligations applicable to the PRC and the HKSAR. Next, this part details the electoral system and limits on legislative power, including the composition of LegCo, Hong's Kong's legislature, the selection of the Chief Executive, and the separation of powers within the HKSAR government. Finally, this Part assesses the development of democratization in Hong Kong in light of the international standards previously discussed. The third and final part of this Special Report explores the status and implementation of Hong Kong's basic international human rights obligations under its domestic law. It then focuses on two areas, labor rights and anti-discrimination protection, as case studies in which fundamental rights protected under international law have been eroded or underenforced by the HKSAR administration.

Q: FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession is not displayed without the Facebook App In my application, I need to use Feed Dialog for the cases when Facebook App is not installed in users phone.
Even though I can share content with FBDialogs canPresentShareDialogWithParams method, I can't get Feed Dialog work. Dialog isn't opening and handler is not getting called.
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil  parameters:params handler:^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
                if (error) {
                    NSLog(@"Error publishing story: %@", error.description);
                } else {
                    if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
                        NSLog(@"User cancelled.");
                    } else {
                        NSDictionary *urlParams = [self parseURLParams:[resultURL query]];

                        if (![urlParams valueForKey:@"post_id"]) {
                            NSLog(@"User cancelled.");

                        } else {
                            NSString *result = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Posted story, id: %@", [urlParams valueForKey:@"post_id"]];
                            // do stuff
                            NSLog(@"result %@", result);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }];

Teste on iOS7 and iOS8 and the result it's always the same.

A: What worked for me is to change both the picture and link fields from type NSURL to NSString.  In the Facebook docs there is a good example of how to do it:
   NSMutableDictionary *params =
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
 @"Facebook SDK for iOS", @"name",
 @"Build great social apps and get more installs.", @"caption",
 @"The Facebook SDK for iOS makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated iOS apps.", @"description",
 @"https://developers.facebook.com/ios", @"link",
 @"https://raw.github.com/fbsamples/ios-3.x-howtos/master/Images/iossdk_logo.png", @"picture",
 nil];

I believe this would fix your problem.

Too bad the White Sox had Caruso skip Double-A and Triple-A to justify the trade from a PR perspective. He could have actually been a good player, and the trade could have been outstanding for them.
Yeah, they definitely rushed him to justify the trade. He never had a good enough arm for shortstop at the mlb level though.
Lorenzo Barcelo was actually good down the stretch for the White Sox in 2000 as well. Since leaving mlb affiliated ball, he's played in Taiwan and (I think) Europe, and is active in the Mexican League this year. He's still only 32.
Wow.. The A's really got ripped off on that deal. I notice Billy Beane wasn't directly responsible for that one as he didn't become GM until October.
ouch, as an m's fan I am still trying to forget the slocumb deal. thanks mlbtr, a decent monday ruined.
1997 is without question one of my favorite years as a baseball fan, completely underrated season, especially as a die hard Mets fan (that was the first year in about 7, that they finished over .500 with 88 wins). They actually made a big trade with the Cubs in which they dealt Lance Johnson, Mark Clark, and Manny Alexander for Turk Wendell, Mel Rojas, and Brian McRae with of course Wendell being the steal of the whole deal in the end. Of course that was a post-July 31 deal.
I would love to see someone write up a review of the 1997 season.
That Cubs trade was a huge thing for me as a 15-year-old.
It's funny, looking back on that trade I had no idea how well Mark Clark pitched for the Cubbies down the stretch. He was 6-1 with an ERA under 3. Talk about a terrific pickup. Of course he sucked for the remainder of his career after that, but at the time he was terrific.
Tim, do you remember those '97 Mets? 88 wins that came out of nowhere. A complete motley crew. Many people forget that Rick Reed pitched over 200 innings and had an ERA under 3! They never really had a chance competing against power houses in the East like the Marlins and Braves but they at least made it fun. As a matter of fact when the Mets earlier this year were playing competitive ball and were just "fun" to watch, they reminded me a lot of the '97 Mets with obviously more talent.

Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has revealed he "dreams" of taking charge of Arsenal one day.
The Italian manager was named the new coach of Inter Milan to replace Walter Mazzarri earlier this month, having won three consecutive Serie A titles during his first spell at the club between 2004 and 2008.
However when questioned during an interview with Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport where he would like to manage next, Mancini surprisingly said: "I dream of the Arsenal job".
"I would have loved to have managed Arsenal, a club with a special charm. But there is still time," he added.
But the former City boss has only a few years to fulfil his Emirates dream. When asked where he sees himself in 10 years, Mancini said: "Where do I see myself at 60? As coach of the Italian national team."
Mancini's comments come at a time when Arsene Wenger is under increasing scrutiny at the Emirates Stadium, after the Gunners' 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United marked their worst start to a season since 1982.
Should Mancini get the Arsenal job it will be his second experience in the Premier League.
The Italian manager won the League and FA Cup during his time with Manchester United, but was sacked at the end of the 2012-13 season after a disappointing campaign.


Golden Guardian Program - Golden Paw Society, Inc.
Cat owners who are concerned about what will happen to their pet should they become unable to care for them can secure their future by setting up a pet trust for their cat to live out their days in the loving care of Golden Paw Society.
Golden Paw Society is a private, not-for-profit animal rescue organization founded for the purpose of rescuing cats who have been in municipal shelters for an extended period of time and/or who exhibit a dire need of removal from the shelter setting. We believe that no matter how old, sick or 'difficult' a cat may be, each cat deserves to be loved, cared for, and given a second chance, and we endeavor to provide that second chance to those cats who need us most. Golden Paw Society never euthanizes an animal unless he/she is incurably ill and has a compromised quality of life.
Many cats end up in "kill" shelters intentionally, meaning their owners willingly surrendered them for reasons such as: owner moving; new baby; family members allergies; cat has behavioral problems, etc., however some end up in shelters because either their owner moved into assisted living, or passed away. In these cases, the owners did not necessarily willingly opt for surrendering their cat, but rather lack of planning/resources left them no other choice. It is not unheard of that a family member promised the owner they would take the cat(s), but when the time came they were not able/willing, and thus the cats end up in municipal shelters.
Golden Paw Society has created a program allowing caring owners to arrange for the special provisions for the care of their cat(s), should they no longer be able to.
With a dedicated staff of volunteers, and a state-of-the-art 'home away from home' adoption center, GPS provides an alternative for cats who survive their owners. A simple clause in a persons' will can provide long-term care for a cat who otherwise may not have an alternative place to live. The Golden Paw Society cats live in a 'home away from home' atmosphere and are never caged unless undergoing close observation for medical purposes. Veterinary care is always available if necessary.
indisputable that living in a real home is the best environment for a cat. Some cats truly don't enjoy living with 40 other cats long-term. It is for this reason that Golden Guardian program members are considered as foster/adoption candidates on a case-by-case basis.

Codex launches into space for IMAX
A 4K Codex recording system has been launched into space for a forthcoming IMAX production, and will orbit the Earth for the next 12 months.
Holly Ashford ⋅ Oct 2, 2014
On 20 September SpaceX launched CRS-4, a commercial resupply services flight from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Travelling to the International Space Station (ISS), CRS-4 is carrying crew supplies, cargo and the ISS-RapidScat instrument, used to monitor ocean winds, as well as a Codex 4K recording system as used on Hollywood blockbuster movies such as Need For Speed.
Paired with a Canon Cinema EOS C500 camera, the Codex recording system will be used by the astronauts on board the International Space Station to capture a set of pre-determined shots at 4K resolution for an upcoming IMAX production, A Perfect Planet.
During the last few months the Codex recording system was put through rigorous testing, including radiation testing, by cinematographer James Neihouse and a team of engineers.
"Along with its ability to capture all the required frame rates at 4K from the Canon EOS C500, it became clear that Codex is a rock-solid platform and workflow, backed by world-class support. It was the obvious choice for this project," commented Neihouse.
Marc Dando, managing director of Codex, added: "Everyone at Codex is excited to be involved in this ground-breaking endeavour. Codex equipment has already been pushed to the limit during the testing process and now we get to support this project in space."

The hard disk in my wife's Acer One D260 netbook got damaged. A new hard disk is about a quarter the price of a new netbook, so I wanted to install a new drive. Like with most PCs these days there aren't any Windows install DVDs included.
The netbook came with Windows 7 Starter, which we needed to somehow install on the new hard disk. Fortunately, the damaged hard disk was still limping along enough to use the Acer eRecovery system to create two Recovery DVDs. These should allow restoring the initial system state to a hard disk in the machine, wiping all the data on the drive.
To replace the hard disk, I had to undo seven clips around the edge of the keyboard, lift off the keyboard and disconnect the keyboard ribbon cable to the motherboard connector. Then I needed to undo 4 screws underneath and push through, to pop out the cover on the bottom of the machine. This opened access to the single memory slot and drive cage.
The 1 GB memory module on the motherboard can be replaced with a 2 GB PC3-8500 1066MHZ DDR3 module available for about $20. This is a wortwhile investment and I already have the module on order.
I replaced the damaged 250 GB WD Scorpio Blue drive with a spare 500 GB drive (available new for about $60-$80). Then I closed the cover and reinstalled the screws and then the keyboard.
With the new drive it was possible to boot off the first Recovery DVD using a USB DVD drive. The eRecovery software copied data from both DVDs to the hard disks and then rebooted. However, that reboot failed because the new drive did not yet have a Windows Master Boot record (MBR) on it. You can install an MBR from within Windows, but not from the bootable eRecovery DVD. So I had a chicken and egg problem.
At the next attempt to boot off the hard disk, Windows started installing its components and drivers and launched into its initial configuration, just like the first time we had unboxed the machine more than two years ago. So we are back to a working Winmdows 7 machine!

Were you finally getting used to the idea of Microsoft integrating its products and services under the "Windows Live" umbrella? Well, if you're someone who's gotten comfortable with the Windows Live brand, you're about to be jettisoned into the zone of discomfort again.
With the advent of Windows 8 looming around the corner, Microsoft has decided to retire its "Windows Live" brand.
Debuting in 2005, Windows Live has grown to encompass a collection of software and services. But, as Microsoft reasons on its blog, much of that functionality will not only be included in Windows 8 but reimagined. As a result, Microsoft will be dropping Windows Live in favor of a suite of rethought cloud-based "apps" featuring better integration and simplified naming conventions.
Services like Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Calendar or even Windows Live Mail will now simply be referred to as Messenger, Calendar and Mail, respectively. Services like Hotmail will continue operating normally, but Microsoft is looking to unify all of its services under a singular "Microsoft account". The company does not go into great detail concerning what that will mean for @live.com accounts, but the blog post does mention migrating those users over to the new system. The same Microsoft account can also be used for signing into Windows 8 and will be used for Xbox Live, Zune and others.
Over the years, a number of Microsoft products have endured some form of identity or brand confusion. In 2005, Microsoft had tried migrating users from Hotmail to its Live brand, but shortly afterward was forced to reverse its plans.
Ahhh, forget it. Just read this instead.

In early 2015, Paul moved, with his wife (Imelda) and three children (Josh, Sophia & Zach) for one last time, to beautiful Arizona. In 2017, Paul retired with over 28 years of combined federal government and military service. He has a passion for real estate and has managed his own rental properties since early 1996. In June 2015, he earned his Arizona Real Estate License and gained additional experience helping people buy and sell their homes.
