Michael Mann Is Still Trying To Recreate The 'Heat' Shootout
Black Hat is the director's latest failed attempt to match former glories
This Friday sees the release of Michael Mann's Black Hat, a modern tech-crime thriller starring Chris Hemsworth as an inexplicably buff computer nerd called upon to save the day from cyber terrorists who probably still live at their mum's house.
For many action fans, Black Hat is likely to produce the familiar feeling of disappointment that has accompanied most of Mann's recent output. Because let's be honest, things haven't been right for a while.
The main issue is that – like a musician trying and failing to recapture the magic of that one near-masterpiece of an album – Mann has been stuck trying to re-shoot Heat for twenty years.
Unfortunately, his latest attempt to relive the magic is not only the nadir of his bad run but the film where the director finally becomes a parody of himself.
Specifically, Mann almost ruins the memory of his famous bank robbery shootout, a crime he's been working towards ever since he called 'cut' on Robert De Niro in 1995.
You know which scene we're talking about. The crown jewel in Mann's oeuvre, the scene by which action movie standards are set: the infamous Heat LA bank robbery shootout.
This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
It's an almost perfect piece of cinema. There's DeNiro on top form. Pacino with an assault rifle. A pre-breakdown Tom Sizemore. All of them immaculately outfitted in three-piece suits and bullet proof vests.
As for the shooting itself, it's loud, it's fast, and it's completely unemotional in its execution – the best example of Mann's cold, clinical eye. So detailed was the level of weapons training behind this scene in particular that United States Marine recruits have been shown it as a an example of perfect form under fire.
In short, with one ten-minute sequence, Michael Mann, redefined the cinematic shootout while simultaneously digging himself into a cordite-scented hole.
The great shame is that ever since then, his action sequences have been self-referential shadows of what could have been.
You won't remember the club shootout from Mann's 2004 effort Collateral because no one watched the film, but this scene is undoubtedly Mann's least subtle attempt at saying 'Hey everyone, guess what? I'm about to turn up the HEAT in this club.' Forced, jarring and featuring a glassy-eyed Tom Cruise, the whole scene plays like a Mission Impossible outtake shot on someone's iPhone.
The big one in Mann's next film, Miami Vice, is a dust-up at a shipping yard. All the Mann tropes are here: people being shot through car windows, more shaky cameras and more manly men in grey suits but the scene plays out like a stag-do's paintballing session recorded on a GoPro.
Jamie Foxx somehow hovering in mid-air for about ten seconds while he lays the smackdown on four bad guys (from 3 mins) doesn't help matters either.
And then comes this week's Black Hat, an action movie that's about as exciting as an episode of Antiques Roadshow narrated by Alan Rickman. It's a film in which the most gripping scene involves the good guys hiding as they get shot at for five minutes straight, while only managing to get off a single shot in retaliation.
The usual action scene ingredients are all there, but Mann hasn't had a clue how to put them together since Val Kilmer was skinny.
Sadly, much like Miami Vice and Collateral (Public Enemies just about gets a pass) there's not much else of substance in the remainder of Black Hat, other than close-ups of people typing away on loudly-clacking keyboards.
Ok Michael, we get it, these days all the action is carried out over the internet, but come on, would you want to watch that? After exploiting his legacy with diminishing returns for twenty years, maybe now's the time for Mann to put aside the crime caper and leave one of the greatest scenes in cinema history behind for good.

Letter to the Editor: Been there, done that — I'm not a token faculty hire
"I've been asked repeatedly if the UNC communications department hired me as a token after they received flack over their abysmally low number of minority faculty. Sounds like it."

By Caitlyn Yaede | Nov. 11
"Despite their undeniable importance in the classroom, graduate students who serve as TAs are often overworked and underpaid."
Column: UNC football players entering the transfer portal isn't a bad sign
By Josiah Townsend | Nov. 11
In recent weeks, North Carolina football has seen five players enter the transfer portal. "Despite the departure of talent, it is not time to go into panic mode for the UNC football program."
Editorial: Personal branding can serve as a barrier to creative pursuits
"Personal branding is a privilege many cannot afford, and it cannot be guaranteed to be linked to the quality of a candidate. And the potential pitfalls personal branding prevents don't stop there."
Column: "The French Dispatch" is Wes Anderson's ode to filmmaking, and to himself
By Guillermo Molero | Nov. 8
"I love this movie because it not only perfectly encapsulates why Wes Anderson loves movies, but it highlights all of the reasons why I fell in love with them, too. And for that, I'm incredibly grateful."
Column: 'The Harder They Fall' doesn't quite get it right
By Zari Taylor | Nov. 8
"'The Harder They Fall' is a great movie that highlights an important and underrepresented part of our country's history. We should be able to celebrate this piece of art while remaining critical of its flaws, especially those that play into harmful trends of colorism and fatphobia in representation that plague the industry."
Editorial: UNC is asking the wrong questions about police on campus
By Editorial Board | Nov. 8
"The assumption behind questions about UNC Police's presence and programming is that UNC Police plays some kind of beneficial role for UNC students and staff and with improved service and trust, UNC Police could make the campus safer."
Office DJ: Music therapy for Men's Health Month
By Ben Rappaport | Nov. 8
"One way I've been able to open the door to these intimate conversations is by sharing music. I send my friends songs that make me think of them or that I think they'll enjoy."
Office DJ: Beats and brass — all you need is beats and brass.
I can't think of anything else I'd rather have when listening to a song. Nothing else can pick me up and get me moving so quickly. Nothing else could keep me moving for so long. Nothing else could keep me wanting more once they inevitably fade away.
Column: Battling barriers marginalized communities face in the workforce
By Caitlyn Yaede | Nov. 4
"Women, and women of color in particular, are likely to be a part of the informal labor market, which includes tasks like caretaking. This fosters both racial and gendered segregation in the workforce, which makes it even more difficult to untangle issues of inequality, such as equal pay."

By Hannah Kaufman | Nov. 3
"If you're feeling nostalgic for the past, don't open your closet — open your computer. ConnectCarolina will be waiting for you, as always, with its dated icons and buffering student center, just hoping that you will be the next student who fails to find the Tar Heel Tracker, yearning for the moment that you give up on Chrome and head to Firefox in the hopes that something, anything, will make this website work."
Editorial: New North Carolina legislative maps undermine our elections
"The North Carolina Republican-led Redistricting Committee's maps represent everything wrong with partisan map-making. The manipulation in the proposed maps is evident."
Editorial: The ACC should stay in North Carolina
"The ACC's rise can be traced back to North Carolina. Without the basketball success and national branding of Duke and UNC, the ACC wouldn't have nearly as much prestige it does today."
Column: UNC must prioritize renaming campus buildings
"There is little to be done to change the history of our University and the actions of those we once chose to honor, but there should be swifter steps in taking a close look across our landscape and being sure we can fully be proud of what we see."
Editorial: It's time to abolish policing within educational institutions
"This approach of relying on the community is ultimately rooted in abolitionist principles — a set of goals that work to dismantle the prison-industrial complex as it unjustly targets low income communities and communities of color."
Column: UNC's settlement distribution from antitrust lawsuit reflects inequity in higher ed
By Rajee Ganesan and Josiah Townsend | Oct. 31
In August, a federal judge approved a $19 million settlement between thousands of faculty members at UNC and Duke to resolve a class-action lawsuit asserting that the two universities colluded not to steal faculty from each other. Duke and UNC allegedly held a "no-poach understanding" that reached back decades. Essentially, each university promised not to steal professors and faculty members from the other. This agreement violates state and federal antitrust laws. Neither Duke nor UNC-Chapel Hill admitted any wrongdoing in the settlements of either lawsuit.
Quiz: Which popular scary movie are you?
By Editorial Board | Oct. 31
With October in full swing and Halloween right around the corner, it's more than the perfect time to snuggle up in your living room and watch the spookiest films ever created.
Column: The blight of historic preservation
By Michael Beauregard | Oct. 31
"While keeping a standard as intricate as Chapel Hill's historic district would render new projects unattractive to developers, maintaining some sort of form-based code while also allowing denser development could open the door to more affordable housing. By loosening some of our town's zoning regulations and historic preservation restrictions, we can have a middle ground between gigantic apartment complexes and small, single-family homes."

Q: Packaging a tkinter application using pypi failing due to not finding "assets" folder while trying to create a python package for my tkinter app using pypi but running into this error:

Currently, after running the build and uploading it to the testing site, whenever I install it (using pip), I get the above error. I'm not quite sure why it isn't finding those assets or how to approach making sure it has the assets. The assets are a part of the tkinter GUI (specifically the buttons) and are found correctly when running the script through the terminal.
Within the actual file, the assets path is stated at the beginning:
assets_path = "./assets/"
Additionally, when moving all of the individual files within the package level, I am still returned the same error
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't open "load.png": no such file or directory
I'm not quite sure what to do to ensure these files are included in the build. I added these files in the MANIFEST.in to try to counteract this, but this hasn't solved any problems. I thought I might need to adjust something in setup.py, but I'm not sure what to adjust.
setuptools.setup(

)

Any help would be appreciated!

One of my husband's cousins just had her 3rd baby girl, and while I planned on making her a quilt, I hadn't even really thought about starting. That is, I didn't think about starting until my mother-in-law requested I make the baby a quilt so my mother-in-law could give it. Ummm, okay.
So, here is baby Carina's quilt, made completely by me but from my mother-in-law! Heh.
I searched my stash and found a stack of old Robyn Pandolph fabrics. My mom gave these to me several years ago, after she made me a shirt out of them, and I LOVED them. Robyn Pandolph's designs make such soft and feminine-looking projects. But, after sitting on my shelf for several years, the fabrics just don't do much of anything for me anymore. LESSON: USE that favorite fabric that you just bought NOW before you tire of it!
I didn't have enough to do the whole Old Red Barn quilt-along as she designed, but I went ahead and still did a rail fence, finished size 40×48. EASY. The whole quilt was done in less than 2 weeks. The part that took the longest to finish? Binding, of course. Just not my thing! The binding is scrappy (although all pinks so hard to tell) b/c I didn't have enough fabric to do otherwise and I was determined not to buy anything.
The above picture is a better representation of the colors. I need to avoid taking pictures so early in the morning on that fence b/c the sun glare messes up my colors.
Anyway, long story short: the fabric was perfect to give away to someone, and although I'm not digging the fabrics now, I know I once did and that they should still make a pretty feminine quilt for a little baby girl!
And the best part for me? Making my mother-in-law happy, a baby and her mama happy, AND getting that fabric out of my stash! YIPPEE!

'I Find That Offensive': DHS Head Flails As Reporters Grill Her About Family Separation Policy /
'I Find That Offensive': DHS Head Flails As Reporters Grill Her About Family Separation Policy
Cody Fenwick
Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen on Monday tried defending the administration's policy of breaking up immigrant families at the border.
It did not go well.
Stepping up at the White House press briefing in Sarah Sanders' place, apparently because the press secretary didn't want to face questions on the administration's catastrophic policy, Nielsen lied, twisted the truth and deflected to avoid taking any responsibility, on her own behalf or on behalf of the administration, for the policy being implemented.
"Are you intending for this to play out as it's playing out?" one reporter asked. "Are you intending for parents to be separated from their children? Are you intending to send a message?"
"I find that offensive. No." Nielsen said. "Why would I ever create a policy that purposely does that?"
As reporters in the room pointed out, though, this answer makes no sense. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has framed the zero-tolerance policy that leads to the high rate of family separations as a method to deter immigrants. And shortly after President Donald Trump's inauguration, Nielsen's predecessor, John Kelly, raised the idea of separating families specifically as a deterrent.
She also refused to comment on the lack of images of young girls and toddlers who are known to be in the federal government's custody. While the administration has released images of boys being kept in large cages, it hasn't shown similar images of the younger children or the girls — prompting many reporters to wonder if the government is trying to hide something.
When she said she hasn't heard the audio recording of children wailing and crying in one of the government's facilities, one reporter in the room began playing it aloud — though Nielsen didn't respond.
Nielsen also insisted that it wasn't true, as many have reported, that asylum-seekers are being turned away from ports of entry, forcing them to cross at unauthorized entry points. But then she went on to say, in fact, that families often are turned away when border agents don't have the resources to process them, though they are told to come back.

Euptychia attenboroughi är en i övre Amazonbäckenet, Venezuela 2015 nyupptäckt fjärilsart.

Beskrivning
Kroppen är gråaktig med gråbruna till kastanjebruna vingar, som har fyra otydligt avgränsade kastanjebruna till mörkbruna längsband. På varje framvinge finns en ögonfläck, på bakvingen två på undersidan, samt tre (varav en mycket liten) på ovansidan. Framvingens längd på de beskrivna hanarna var 17 till 18 mm, på honorna 16 till 17 mm.

En förväxlingsart är Euptychia sophiae, som är nära släkt med denna art, och upptäcktes samtidigt.

Utbredning
Förutom i Venezuela har Euptychia attenboroughi påträffats på två lokaler på gränsen mellan Colombia och Brasilien.

Namn
Beträffande det vetenskapliga namnet förklarar forskarna: "Vi har namngivit denna fjäril för att hedra den store engelske naturforskaren, författaren och TV-presentatören Sir David Attenborough som öppnat ögon och hjärtan för naturvärlden hos miljoner genom sina inspirerande och informativa dokumentärer".

Roy Hodgson Courtesy Wikipedia
When I read about Roy Hodgson's appointment as the new England manager I was hoping my calendar said April 1st not May 1st. This news would have been ideal on April Fool's Day. Now, I have nothing against senior citizens. I believe they're a major reason why Britain is prefixed by the word Great. But I don't really feel one of them should be managing the nation's football team, regardless of how 70-year-old Alex Ferguson does with Manchester United.
Football is basically a young-man's game these days and the times have changed greatly since Hodgson played and last won anything. He couldn't handle the big egos at Liverpool and failed miserably and he's going to have his hands full with even bigger egos with England. You can argue this point by saying Kenny Dalglish has failed on Merseyside too, and he has. He's another manager who has seemingly failed to keep up with the times.
Hodgson's never done anything in the last decade to impress me. Sure, he had a decent run in the Europa Cup one year, but that's it. He might have done well many moons ago while overseas, but has been a big bust in England. His winning percentage with Blackburn was 34.6 per cent, at Fulham it was 34 and with Liverpool it was 35. He brought it up a notch at West Brom and has managed to win 37.5 per cent of games managed there.
Needless to say, all of the English teams he's managed allowed more goals per game on average than they scored. His teams have never scored at a higher rate than 1.37 goals per game, which Blackburn managed to achieve, but they also let in the most at 1.42. I've heard many people complain that Hodgson's too defensive, and it's true, but he's still not successful at it.
West Brom sits a mediocre 10th place in the league this season with 46 points from 13 wins, seven draws, and 16 losses. I don't know of any league in the world where this could be considered a success. Winning 13 out of 36 games so far just doesn't cut it; neither does attaining 46 points out of a possible 108. That means 62 points have been dropped along the way. In total, he's won 119 out of 308 matches with West Brom, Fulham, Blackburn, and Liverpool, for a winning percentage of 38.64 per cent.
Technically, West Brom could still move up a couple of positions in the remaining two games of the season, but they could also drop by as many as four spots. They've managed no wins against the Premier League's top four clubs this season, but managed to edge fifth-place Newcastle away 3-2 just before Christmas and pulled off a 1-0 win in early March at home against Chelsea.
Other fans have claimed the FA simply chose Hodgson because he's out of contract with West Brom in a few weeks and no compensation will be needed to be paid to them. But even if you are going to sign this guy, why on earth would you commit to a four-year contract? This means he's in charge for Euro 2012, the 2014 World Cup, and Euro 2016. There's no need to sign anybody, let alone Hodgson, to anything longer than a two-year deal.
If he fails it's going to cost millions of pounds just to get rid of him. There's no doubt Hodgson has a fine resume on the continent, but he's going to be dealing strictly with English players from now on. And even though there's been a huge influx of foreign players in the EPL over the past decade, he simply hasn't had any success managing English-based teams.
But even overseas he lasted just five months with Italian side Udinese in 2001 and was sacked by the United Arab Emirates after a fifth-place finish in the Gulf Cup. Hodgson's best days were clearly 30 years ago and he's done nothing to prove otherwise to me since then. He's managed 18 teams over the 36 years he's been managing, which shows me he's either in it just for the money or simply isn't good enough and that's why he's constantly let go by his bosses.
While I have the right to criticize Hodgson for his recent performance I can't criticize him for taking the job or for anything beyond. I do criticize the FA for hiring him though, especially to the four-year contract. If he gets results and does well in the first two years, fine, then give him a two-year extension. But looking at his winning percentage in England, and his overall performance over the past 12 years I don't really understand what the FA based their decision on.
I suppose we'll have to wait and see how he does and what his team selections will be and more importantly how he utilizes the players he chooses. It'll be interesting to see if any of the Gunners' trio of Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fit into his plans and what becomes of Jack Wilshere once he's healthy.
The only statistic that matters in any sport is the standings and we'll see where England finishes up in Euro 2012 and World Cup qualifying. I hope I'm dead wrong here and Hodgson turns out to be the best manager England's ever had. But I just don't see it unless the players finally live up to all their hype and potential….and what are the odds of that?

Diplomatic Circuit
S. Korean leader urges increased cooperation in summit with ASEAN
By Jo He-rim
Published : Nov 13, 2017 - 22:29
Updated : Nov 13, 2017 - 22:29
MANILA (Yonhap) -- President Moon Jae-in on Monday called for efforts to diversify and upgrade relations between South Korea and Southeast Asian countries.
During a meeting in Manila with his counterparts from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, he also appealed for their support of Seoul's policy to resolve the North Korean nuclear dispute peacefully.
The South Korea-ASEAN summit was attended by the leaders of all 10 ASEAN member countries -- Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
"President Moon stressed that ASEAN is key partner in efforts to expand our foreign relations. Then, President Moon introduced his vision for a Korea-ASEAN community, proposing to build a people-oriented joint community of peace and co-prosperity," the South Korean presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said of the meeting.
Moon earlier said the Korea-ASEAN joint community aims to boost exchange between the countries' people, instead of governments.
"We must first be friends before we can share a future. To this end, we will increase exchanges between people of all levels, including businesspeople and students, in addition to exchanges between heads of state and governments," the South Korean leader said while speaking to some 500 business leaders from the 10 ASEAN countries in a meeting known as the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit here.
While meeting with ASEAN leaders in their summit, Moon proposed they build an "open community" that will ensure the free exchange of people and goods.
Moon earlier said his government will consider simplifying its visa issuance process for ASEAN countries. The sides already have a free trade agreement that went into effect 10 years ago in June 2007.
"President Moon called for efforts to allow the people enjoy more opportunities and better lives by jointly establishing the foundation of their sustainable growth, noting that the people must be able to feel and enjoy the benefits of the countries' exchange and cooperation to ensure sustainable growth," Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release.
The South Korean leader earlier called for efforts to boost the annual trade between his country and ASEAN countries to US$200 billion in 2020.
The ASEAN leaders welcomed Moon's initiative to improve Korea-ASEAN relations, noting his dispatch of a special envoy to ASEAN following his election in May showed his serious and sincere he was toward ASEAN, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
Moon also asked for ASEAN countries' continued support for efforts to rid North Korea of its nuclear ambition.
"The ASEAN leaders expressed grave concerns over North Korea's continuing provocations while reaffirming their resolve to never allow North Korean nukes," Cheong Wa Dae said. "They also expressed their full support for our government's efforts to improve the South-North relations and establish lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula."

Q: Optimum Volume and Surface Area Grade 9 Two shapes both have a surface are of 1200cm2. One of them is a cylinder and one of them is a square based prism.
a) What is the maximum value of the volume of the shape if it is a cylinder?
b) What is the maximum value of the volume of the shape if it is a square based prism?
c) Which shape should you chose for a container you are building if you want the greatest possible volume and the least possible surface are?

A: The area and volume of a cylinder are respectively
$$ A_{cylinder} = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2 \quad V_{cylinder} = \pi r^2 h $$
Where $r$ denotes the radius of the cylinder and $h$ denotes the height of the cylinder.
Since we know that $A_{cylinder} = 1200$ we can express $h$ in terms or $r$
$$ h = \frac{A_{cylinder} - 2\pi r^2}{2\pi r} $$
Now let's use this to find an expression for the volume in terms of the surface area.
$$ V_{cylinder} = \pi r^2 \frac{A_{cylinder} - 2\pi r^2}{2\pi r} = \frac{A_{cylinder}r-2\pi r^3}{2}$$
To find the maximum value we differentiate this expression and set it equal to zero.
$$ \frac{dV_{cylinder}}{dr} = \frac{A_{cylinder}}{2}-6\pi r^2 = 0 $$
Thus we conclude that $r^2 = \frac{A_{cylinder}}{12\pi}$ and thus $r = \sqrt{\frac{A_{cylinder}}{12\pi}}$ since the radus cannot be negative. Putting it all together yields
$$ V_{cylinder} = \frac{5A_{cylinder}}{6}\sqrt{\frac{A_{cylinder}}{12\pi}} = \frac{10000}{\sqrt{\pi}} cm^3$$

A still frame taken from an Iranian satellite channel showed a stack of nearly worthless, decades-old bank notes from Turkey, Israel, the Philippines and Lebanon, reportedly discovered in the Syrian city of Homs.
Updated | Sunday | 8:38 p.m As my colleagues Kareem Fahim and Hwaida Saad report, the Syrian government blocked an aid convoy from entering a devastated neighborhood in the city of Homs on Saturday, citing safety concerns, a day after granting access to a state television crew.
As it has since the start of the uprising, the state broadcaster presented the violence in Homs as the fault of foreign-backed militants. Reporting on Friday from Baba Amr, the neighborhood shelled for weeks on end by government forces, state television showed anguished residents blaming rebel fighters for their misery.
A video report from a Syrian state television crew showed the ruined neighborhood of Baba Amr in Homs on Friday.
One of the last shots in the state television report showed a stack of foreign currency, apparently evidence discovered in Baba Amr proving that the rebels were paid agents. A closer examination of the money, however, reveals that all of the the bills are notes of very small denomination withdrawn from circulation years ago in Lebanon, Turkey, Israel and the Philippines.
After Syrian bloggers discovered that footage of what appeared to be the same stack of foreign currency was also broadcast on the Iranian government's Arabic-language satellite channel, the Beirut-based activist Shakeeb Al-Jabri pointed out on Twitter that some of the bills described as "Israeli bank notes," were, in fact, small denomination Lebanese liras that have not been in use since 1985 and an old type of Philippine peso that was replaced by a coin a decade ago.
Among the bills "confiscated" from "armed gangs" and shown on #Syria TV are two 10 Lebanese Lira bills (equal to $0.006) extinct since 1985.
The "Israeli bank notes found in Bab Amro" and shown on #Syria TV turns out to be Filipino currency.
An activist who writes on Twitter as "Arab Spring," and the Israeli blogger, Elizabeth Tsurkov, combined to explain that even the one bill on the top of the stack which did originate in Israel was actually an old one-shekel note, a bill that has not been in circulation since 1985, and would now be worth about one-fiftieth of an American penny.
The one other bill that is visible is an old Turkish lira, also of a sort used in the 1980s, which would now be worth about half of one American penny, if it had not stopped being exchanged for new currency in 2009.
All told, the current value of the stack of bills displayed on Syrian television as proof of foreign support for the rebels would appear to be far less than one American dollar — if, that is, the rebels could find someone inside Syria to accept old Israeli shekels or Philippine pesos in exchange for anything of value.
That said, since the Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa wrote on Friday that he was forced to flee Homs without a bag containing thousands of American dollars — after a rocket attack on the building he was staying in killed two of his colleagues — the Syrian authorities may yet find a more impressive wad of cash to display for the cameras.

The mole does this by catching the mouse at the entrance to its burrow. The eyes and ears of the mole are very small and usually covered in fur. The small eyes of the mole are thought to have become like this due to the mole not using its eyes and through natural selection.
Moles have poorly developed eyes and are often blind, but they have excellent hearing and extremely fast reflexes. The star-nosed mole can capture and eat its prey faster than the human eye can follow the action. 3. A mole's diet consists mostly of earthworms. Moles won't eat your plants and bulbs. Moles are carnivores.
Voles outwardly resemble several other small animals. Moles, gophers, mice, rats and even shrews have similar characteristics and behavioral tendencies. Voles thrive on small plants yet, like shrews, they will eat dead animals and, like mice or rats, they can live on almost any nut or fruit.

There're just electrical switches - but bloody useful ones!
In any electrical system, relays are amongst the most useful of components. They let you control heavy loads with light-weight switches, allow one device to be switched off at the same time as another is switched on, are very hard to blow-up, and are cheap and widely available. That's a damn good list of attributes!
A relay is just a small switch whose movement is caused by the action of an electromagnet inside. When power is applied to the relay's coil, the electromagnet comes alive and pulls across the switching contacts.
The simplest relay is a single pole, single throw (SPST) design. This designation refers to the switching part of the relay where when it's activated, one wire (a "single pole") can be connected only one way (a "single throw"). Just like an on/off switch, when you power up the relay's coil, the connection is made; when you unpower the coil, the connection is broken.
In this diagram the relay's coil is yellow. Near to the coil you can see a switch, which is open. This is called a Normally Open contact - it's open when there's no power being applied to the relay. When power is applied to the relay's coil, the single contact closes. This is a Single Pole Single Throw relay - SPST. SPST relays have four terminals - two are to power the coil and the other two are the connections for the internal switch. As you can see, there is no electrical connection between the pair of contacts for the coil and the pair of contacts for the switching side of the relay.
On automotive SPST relays, the pins are given standardised numbers. The coil connections are 85 and 86, while the two connections for the internal switch are 30 and 87. However, most general purpose relays don't have any numbers on the pins – instead the functions of the pins are shown on a little diagram on the body of the relay.
The most common use for a SPST relay is to use a small electrical current to control a large electrical current. For example, a radiator fan might be triggered by a temperature switch. The temp switch is capable of flowing only 2 amps, but the radiator fan at switch-on takes 15 amps (and then settles back to 8 amps continuous).
If you wire the radiator fan to the switch like this, after a few weeks the switch would fail – its contacts are being hugely overloaded.
The solution is to add a SPST relay that is wired into the circuit like this. Neither the relay coil nor the switching part of the relay have polarities – both can be connected either way around to 12V and Ground. As we said earlier, a relay is very hard to blow-up!
But wouldn't it be good if we had a contact that was broken at the same time as the switch was made? That's what happens in the Single Pole, Double Throw design. Another contact has been added that is Normally Closed. When the relay is energised, this contact is broken and the other one (the Normally Open contact) is closed. We still have only a single pole to be switched, but now it can be connected two ways - a double throw design. This type of relay is therefore called a Single Pole, Double Throw relay. As you can see, it has both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts. Some people call this a changeover relay.
A SPDT relay allows you to control two devices, switching one off as the other is switched on. A recent example of where I needed to use a relay in this way is in a fuel system that needed to be switched between two different fuel pressures. To raise the fuel pressure, a solenoid valve had to be turned off and at the same time, a fuel pump needed to be switched on. Both devices draw a fair amount of current so a heavy duty automotive relay was used.
SPDT automotive relays use the following codes for their pins: the coil connections are again 85 and 86, the normally closed output is 87a, the normally open output is 87 and the input is 30.
The circuit diagram for the fuel system relay looks like this. Power is normally supplied to the solenoid through the Normally Closed (NC) relay contact, energising the solenoid. But when the relay's coil is activated (by closing the High/Low Fuel Pressure switch), the relay pulls the contact across, switching off the solenoid and switching on the fuel pump. The High/Low Fuel Pressure switch has to handle only enough current to switch the relay's coil, so this can be a light-duty switch (eg a boost pressure switch or a microswitch).
These relays are less common in automotive aftermarket use and so don't have coded numbers for the pins.
Using a relay is made a lot simpler if you follow these steps.
Draw a circuit diagram. The first step is to draw a simple circuit diagram showing where the wires go. Which wires go to the relay coil, which to the Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts of the relay?
Decide what type of relay is needed. If just one connection needs to be switched on and off, you'll use a SPST design. If two connections need to be switched, a DPST or (more commonly) a DPDT design will be the one to use. A changeover (where one device is switched off and the other switched on) can use a SPDT or a DPDT design.
Wire the relay coil first. If you wire the relay's coil first, you'll be able to check that the relay is working by listening to its click.
It's easy to think of relays as being suitable for just simple car modifications, but that's not always the case.
This circuit shows the use of two relays that deactivate traction control without affecting ABS or stability control. The system works by connecting the un-driven wheel ABS sensor outputs to the driven wheel ECU inputs, so that the ECU cannot see a speed difference between the undriven and driven wheels. The modification is automatically switched off whenever the brakes are applied, or by a manual on/off switch. This diagram shows only half of the system - the complete the system just mirror-images the wiring for the other side of the car.
In addition to its contact configuration (SPST, DPDT, etc) there are at least three other specifications that are important.
This spec refers to the max current that a relay's contacts can handle. To avoid arcing, you should use a factor of safety where the max current of your switched circuit (even when it first switches on with a current gulp) is less than the relay's spec. Automotive relays are available with current ratings like 25, 30 and even 60 amps. Be careful when checking max current specs that the listing is for the DC at or above the voltage you'll be using – ie, in cars, 13.8V. For example, a relay rated at 10 amps at 240V AC is not the same as one rated at 10 amps at 12V DC.
Other specs that you might fine listed include life (ie how many millions of operations the relay will do before failure) and perhaps response time.
Relays can be useful in nearly every electrical or electronic car modification. Get your head around their use and you'll never regret having spent the time to find out how they can be used.

Animal rights protesters occupied the site of a planned animal experimentation centre in Hannover again on Saturday, prompting the police to temporarily arrest 16 people.
The protestors are trying to stop plans by German pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim to build a European centre for research on animal vaccines on the site.
Local residents are also opposed to the idea, which would create space for 1,000 pigs for use in the vaccine tests, citing concerns about safety and possible smells.
Protesters occupied the site in July and remained for more than two weeks before they were cleared from the site. A private security company watching the densely-wooded area called police on Saturday to say the protestors were back.
Officers took around an hour to move the protestors, who were on the roof of a building and in an oak tree.

While a number of studies in recent years have sought to analyse urban livelihoods and urban governance, there remains little understanding of how the displaced negotiate their way in the urban environment, their relationships with the host community and governance institutions, and what their specific vulnerabilities are compared with other urban poor. In addition, the role of humanitarian and development actors in supporting these populations, and the strategies and approaches that are best suited to address the assistance and protection needs of urban internally displaced peoples (IDPs), are still poorly understood.
This study focuses on urbanisation, displacement and vulnerability in the Syrian capital, Damascus. This study is part of a series of studies on urban displacement, which so far has included case studies on Nairobi, Yei (South Sudan), Amman, and Kabul.
suggest potential entry points where the international aid community can best engage with displaced populations living in Damascus, and the implications for humanitarian and development programming in this regard.

India's JSW Steel calls for action against Chinese steel "dumping"
Form: SMM AddTime:2015-1-31 Hits:814
MUMBAI, Jan 30 (Reuters)- India's JSW Steel Ltd on Friday urged the government to address "dumping" of cheap steel by Chinese rivals and take steps to improve iron ore availability after lower steel prices led to a 30 percent drop in the company's third-quarter profit.
Steel imports into India leapt by more than 60 percent in the April to December period, with 1 million tonnes imported in December alone, group Chief Financial Officer Seshagiri Rao told reporters in Mumbai.
"We have been representing to the government that they should take steps, as is being done by various countries, in stopping the dumping and to stop injury to the domestic industry," Rao said.
The company has been struggling with restricted supply of steel making raw materials, especially iron ore, due to mining bans in India and high domestic prices, forcing it to resort to imports to keep up production rates.
"The major concern going forward is the iron ore availability and iron ore pricing which is against the interest of domestic steel production," Rao said, pointing to a 14 percent rise in iron ore prices in India over the past year. International prices have halved in that time.
JSW Steel, which needs about 25 million tonnes of the steel making raw material per year, said it imported over 40 percent of its requirement in the December quarter.
It posted a consolidated net profit of 3.29 billion rupees ($53.07 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, its fiscal third.
The company also said it was increasing its focus on value-added steel products to differentiate itself from competition domestically and in the international market, where it faces pressure from Russian as well as Chinese steel makers.
"We are changing the product mix so that we are not competing in the commodity space with the Chinese. We are making that extra effort to see that more and more value added products get exported." Jayant Acharya, Director - Commercial and Marketing at JSW Steel, said.

Physical challenges within urban landscapes are having a moment right now. Every week it seems another gruelling marathon, sprint, triathlon, or bike race is occurring in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, or Calgary. And while being healthy and challenging oneself in the concrete jungle is pretty cool, there's something so much more appealing about doing it in, well, an actual jungle. Thankfully, there are bunch of amazing events in the most amazing outdoor locations in Canada — our national parks.
Love to bike? Join us for Fundy Bike Fest from September 29 to October 1. Everything Biking: Bike rodeo, skill development, guided night ride, group ride, trail building workshop, take a kid mountain biking, Fat Bike Demo. Activities for the whole family.
Kouchibouguac is full of golden sand dunes, warm ocean beaches, a dark sky preserve, estuaries that are brimming with life, and some incredible Mi'kmaq and Acadian culture. If you get a chance to run a sanctioned event in a place like that, you take it.
An official qualifying event for the Boston Marathon, but an incredible event in its own right, the P.E.I. Marathon begins in P.E.I. National Park and continues along the Gulf Shore and on into Charlottetown, ending at Province House National Historic Site.
While this isn't a Parks Canada event, the race does dip through two beautiful National Parks. The Tobermory Trail offers a 5k as well as a full, half, and relay trail marathon for those wanting to test their endurance against the Bruce Trail. Festivities kick off with a Pasta Dinner at the Tobermory Community Centre. Running along some of the most beautiful coastline in Canada seems pretty amazing, and to top it all off, your race fee supports the Tobermory Primary Place daycare and outdoor sport on the Bruce Peninsula.
Les Défis du Parc-Shawinigan, Canada's biggest sport cycle gathering, is going down in La Mauricie National Park. Participants of all levels take on various physical challenges such as three different road cycling courses including the impressive 160 km GranFondo, one mountain bike race, 3 running races and a 1km race for children — all in one of Quebec's most epic National Parks.
While not like the typical events listed, this one may arguably be the most fun. Terra Nova has been having this unique event for the past three years. Teams will race against the clock as they complete as series of challenges such as catching a water balloon on your head in a colander. Afterward, relax for the evening and enjoy a Campfire Concert.

This was a special order I worked on for a mom, it is a very sentimental piece for her. I was honored she asked me to make this for her and I hope it brings her comfort and happiness!

Dwight Ruby is an outsider artist born and raised in Coudersport, Pennsylvania on November 4, 1952.
His primary education was elementary school then High School at Ilion High, in Ilion New York, graduating in 1970.
Dwight married in Williamsport, New York at age 19, and had three daughters.
He left soon after a divorce and hitch-hiked across the United States working various jobs in maintenance, grounds- keeping, salt piles, auction barns in Texas, Oregon, Chicago before settling in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in 1986. He has been working in Motel Maintenance in this small town since.
Throughout childhood Dwight watched his mother crochet rugs, and in his 20's began to create rugs himself, he also started to paint designs on rocks he found.
When Dwight was a child he and his brother were playing along the shore of a river, underneath a railroad trestle when Dwight slipped and fell in, he tried to get out but was caught by an undertow. His brother tried to help but was also pulled in. the next thing Dwight remembers was laying on shore and a man standing over them telling him they would be alright... and then he "disappeared". He believes he was saved by an Angel.
In 1998 in his spare time, Dwight began to draw on heavy paper he was able to purchase at the local supply stores.
Using ball point pens, colored pencils and markers, he began to create intensely organized and detailed outsider art drawings of flowers, and landscapes populated with rugged mountains and industrial looking "barns" and buildings, reminiscent of Pennsylvania countryside. The drawings are elaborately bordered by designs that could be considered "crocheted".
In 2011, he had his first public showing of drawings at Belly Deli Café in Truth or Consequences, NM.
