Is life more than breathing and a heartbeat?
M. Bennet Broner, PhD
A few months back, I read about a two-year-old child with a terminal cardiac condition who has spent her life in a hospital bed attached to multiple devices that maintained her survival. At the staff's request, the institution's ethics committee reviewed the child's history and prognosis and decided that the equipment could be disconnected. Her mother repeatedly blocked this option, insisting that the child, although frequently sedated, had a "bubbly personality "and was improving. She even contended that the physicians were denying the child's true condition for their own, clandestine ends.
How do we define life? Is it simply breathing and a heartbeat, even if these are dependent on artificial means? The idea of these bodily functions defining existence arose in the 3rd- 4th centuries A.D. when the Christian Church Fathers decreed that the only ways of achieving heaven were through torture and martyrdom and natural death with "redemptive suffering." The agony allowed the soul to be cleansed of sin before it could ascend to heaven. This concept of suffering was adopted by what became Catholicism and other Christian denominations with the Reformation. However, none of these denominations could foresee the development of devices that could sustain life artificially, and while several denominations adapted to this technological advancement, others did not.
But what sin could a child confined to a hospital bed accrue to require redemption?
Humanist philosophy would find that treatment could be terminated as it is not curative but only delays death. Humanism is a collection of viewpoints that are unanimous that a person has intrinsic worth separate from any deity. Further, its tenets embrace the concept that people are a product of their culture, that a person is entitled to the maximum "good" within society's boundaries, emphasizes that disease and suffering must be viewed only through the sufferers' eyes in determining the continuance of care and that medical care should treat the whole person and not just an illness.
From this perspective, the child's existence produces little good. She does not interact with the world other than staff and family, cannot accrue or enjoy an independent life, can rarely leave her bed, is reported to have significant pain, and is frequently sedated and unaware of her environment. She is, at best, assisted breathing and an assisted heartbeat, and nothing more. Thus, maintaining her life is denying her the only form of "good" remaining to her: death.
Her situation can also be visualized through Utilitarian philosophy. Here too, the term contains different formulations, but a main precept in Humanism is that an individual has intrinsic worth. However, the accretion of "good" relates to society and not the individual. Although controlling costs is often conflated with Utilitarianism, these philosophies do not necessarily contemplate a dollar value as the societal "good." Rather, from this perspective, it can be argued that medical equipment and treatments are finite and that maintaining this child limits resources that could be better expended on other humans who could benefit from their use, especially on a short-term basis. A reasonable effort should be applied to aid the child as has been done, but once it is determined that this effort no longer promotes healing, then life-support should be withdrawn. It is no different than in treating cardiac arrest in that, at some point, treatment is deemed futile and discontinued.
A further argument is whether the mother is the best decision-maker for her child as she cannot visualize her daughter's status through the child's perspective but looks at her through rose-colored glasses. Her thinking is clouded by the organizations that have supported her legal challenges in the furtherance of their goals and not those of either the mother or her daughter. From the Utilitarian perspective, the mother cannot decide what is a societal "good." In this instance, physicians and ethics committees are more appropriate arbiters.
Some ethicists contend that a degree of paternalism should be returned to medical practice, although balancing this with patient autonomy would be fraught with difficulties. Although, there is research that some (perhaps many?) patients prefer physician guidance and influence rather than personal autonomy. Indeed, one ethicist has contended that this preference for physician decision-making represents autonomy as the patient chooses the doctor's input.
The involvement of religious and pro-life groups not only buoys the mother's resolve and determination to keep her child alive but also makes the child's survival a political issue (remember Terri Schiavo?) rather than a medical one, an issue best made by those with the fullest understanding of the child's condition: physicians and ethics committees.

Q: Trouble with a basic node.js transform stream I'm learning nodejs right now and am trying to set up a simple transform stream.  The code I am creating is similar to a few tutorials - but I keep getting errors.

Haulover Park: Miami's Nude Beach
United States Florida Miami
All Miami
Dawn Henthorn
Dawn Henthorn is a lifelong Florida resident and travel expert, former editor of Wire to Wire and Horse Racing Digest, and a journalist for Orlando Family Magazine.
TripSavvy / Jamie Ditaranto
According to numerous travel publications, Haulover Park in Miami Beach, Florida, is one of the world's best nude beaches. First opened in 1948, Haulover Park seems to continue to impress naturists thanks to its beauty, location, and the laid back and fun atmosphere you'll find here.
Haulover became very popular as a clothing-optional beach when the revenue-hungry county looked the other way as they collected fees from naturists to use the beach. However, too little clothing became too much of an issue, and a reasonably fair solution was to limit clothing-optional access to the northernmost 800-yard stretch of the beach.
Haulover Beach Park is located in the 10800 block of Collins Avenue in North Miami Beach near Sunny Isles Causeway (SR #826) and Highway A1A, between lifeguard towers 12 and 16. The beach is open every day from sunrise to sunset, and the only fee you'll have to pay is five dollars for parking. Facilities include restrooms, showers, concessions, picnic tables, and lifeguards that are on duty while the park is open.
The History of Haulover Park
It is believed that Haulover got its name from an early fisherman in the area—a man named Baker—who would regularly "haul" his sponge boat from Biscayne Bay over the thickly wooded dunes to the ocean at this spot. Mention of "Baker's Haulover" appears on maps as early as 1823, and the practice of hauling over was passed along through later generations of fisherman.
One of two public beach parks in Miami-Dade County, Haulover Park includes 177 acres and 1.4 miles of beachfront. Originally acquired by the Dade County Commission in 1940, when it was called North Beach, construction wasn't completed on facilities until after World War II. Haulover Park was completed and renamed in January 1947 and opened to the public the following year in 1948.
However, the northern section of the beach wasn't designated as clothing optional until 1991, when a Dade County ordinance was signed to allow families to bare their skin. Unfortunately, Florida's state laws do not generally allow public nudity, so Haulover Beach remains one of the only places in Florida where beachgoers can sunbathe nude.
The north end of the beach that's designated for naturists has been partitioned off out of the view of families and others who do not wish to swim and sun without clothing. Haulover Beach is preferable to close-by Sunny Isles Beach because of its access, parking, expansiveness, and amenities. Go if you can overlook (and not be tempted to look over) at the buff crowd.
Along with picnic areas, restrooms, and lifeguards, Haulover Beach is full of amenities and things to do. The beach is ideal for surfing as well as swimming and laying out as well as enjoying a picnic, but it's important to note that all flotation devices have been banned from Miami-Dade County beaches since the early 2000s.
Cruising down the beach's bike path is another great way to spend a warm afternoon; Electribike Miami offers daily and weekly bicycle rentals from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and can be found in the south picnic area adjacent to the bark park. Another popular activity you'll find at Haulover Beach is kite flying. Known as one of the best places in South Florida to fly a kite, Haulover Beach Park is also home to Skyward Kites, which has been in operation since the early 80s and has one of the largest collections of kites, windsocks, and wind spinners in Miami.
On Tuesdays, you can also attend the weekly Food Truck Roundup from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Bill Bird Marina, which features an assortment of local food truck vendors as well as live music and entertainment that's perfect for the whole family. However, pets and glass containers are prohibited from attending this event.
Additionally, fishing enthusiasts can cast a line in designated areas along Baker's Haulover Cut and the shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway on the bayside, but guests must have a valid Florida fishing license to fish and no fishing is allowed in the swimming areas.
Haulover Nude Beach Tips
While there are no laws to prohibit cameras or electronics with camera capabilities, nude etiquette demands no pictures be taken without permission.
Carry a towel (or two) to use when sitting in public areas, such as benches.
Sexual activity and public displays of affection are strictly prohibited and enforced.
Nude sunbathing is prohibited in any undesignated area of Haulover Beach
Haulover Beach is a gay-friendly and adult-oriented beach, but families are welcome to use this stretch of designated clothing-optional beach, too.
If you do bring children to the beach, be sure to explain proper etiquette for nude beachgoing and remind them not to stare at other guests.
National Nude Week each July is a great time to celebrate naturism at Haulover Beach, and the park usually hosts a festival of some sort over the course of the week.
Remember to pack extra-strength sunscreen, especially if you are not used to sunbathing in the nude; sensitive skin in your bikini area is more prone to sunburn that parts of your body regularly exposed to the sun.

Well, they did say "early December".
Blizzard said last week that the upcoming Hearthstone expansion Mean Streets of Gadgetzan will be out in early December, and it clearly wasn't kidding. As part of a Twitch card reveal stream which just finished, it was announced that the set will go live worldwide on December 1, which is this Thursday. All 132 cards have now been revealed, and we'll be updating our gallery of them shortly. You can see the majority here now.
The main talking point from the stream was how crazy the Druid Jade Golem deck was. It works by summoning jade dude who grow in size with each accompanying synergy card, a strategy that seemed particularly effective when combo'd with powerful Legendary minions Brann Bronzebeard and Fandral Staghelm.
Whether or not currently strong meta decks like Midrange Shaman will let you live long enough to pull off jade shenanigans remains to be seen, but expect to see a lot of players trying to find out later this week. Probably the single most spectacular card shown was Krul the Unshackled (right), whose Battlecry effect plays every demon in your hand onto the board. Demonlock is back on, boys!

Press release: Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing
View 1 image
This summer, Barbican Art Gallery stages the first UK survey of the American documentary photographer Dorothea Lange (1895–1965), one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
Important note: The exhibition Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing, situated in the lower galleries of Barbican Art Gallery, is on at the same time as Vanessa Winship: And Time Folds on show in the upper galleries. The ticket gains entry to both exhibitions.
The exhibition is organized by the Oakland Museum of California with support from the Oakland Museum Women's Board and the Henry Luce Foundation. The European presentation has been produced in collaboration with Barbican Art Gallery, London and Jeu de Paume, Paris.
A formidable woman of unparalleled vigour and resilience, the exhibition charts Lange's outstanding photographic vision from her early studio portraits of San Francisco's bourgeoisie to her celebrated Farm Security Administration work (1935–1939) that captured the devastating impact of the Great Depression on the American population. The show features the iconic Migrant Mother as well as rarely seen photographs of the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War and several post-war series documenting the changing face of the social and physical landscape of 1950s America, including a collaboration with fellow photographer Pirkle Jones. Working in urban and rural contexts across America and beyond, Lange focused her lens on human suffering and hardship to create compassionate and piercing portraits of people and places in the hope of effecting or influencing social and political reform. Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing is part of the Barbican's 2018 season, The Art of Change, which explores how the arts respond to, reflect and potentially effect change in the social and political landscape.
Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing encompasses over 300 objects from vintage prints and original book publications to ephemera, field notes, letters, and documentary film. Largely chronological, the exhibition presents eight series in Lange's oeuvre spanning from 1919 to 1957.
Jane Alison, Head of Visual Arts, Barbican, said: "This is an incredible opportunity for our visitors to see the first UK survey of the work of such a significant photographer. Dorothea Lange is undoubtedly one of the great photographers of the twentieth century and the issues raised through her work have powerful resonance with issues we're facing in society today. Staged alongside contemporary photographer Vanessa Winship as part of The Art of Change, these two shows are unmissable".
Opening the exhibition are Lange's little known early portrait photographs taken during her time running a successful portrait studio in San Francisco between 1919 and 1935. Lange was at the heart of San Francisco's creative community and her studio became a centre in which bohemian and artistic friends gathered after hours, including Edward Weston, Anne Brigman, Alma Lavenson, Imogen Cunningham, and Willard van Dyke. Works from this period include intimate portraits of wealthy West Coast families as well as of Lange's inner circle, counting amongst others photographer Roi Partridge and painter Maynard Dixon, Lange's first husband and father of her two sons.
The Great Depression in the early 1930s heralded a shift in her photographic language as she felt increasingly compelled to document the changes visible on the streets of San Francisco. Taking her camera out of the studio, she captured street demonstrations, unemployed workers, and breadline queues. These early explorations of her social documentary work are also on display.
The exhibition charts Lange's work with the newly established historical division of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the government agency tasked with the promotion of Roosevelt's New Deal programme. Alongside Lange, the FSA employed a number of photographers, including Walker Evans, Ben Shahn and Arthur Rothstein, to document living conditions across America during the Great Depression: from urban poverty in San Francisco to tenant farmers driven off the land by dust storms and mechanisation in the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas; the plight of homeless families on the road in search of better livelihoods in the West; and the tragic conditions of migrant workers and camps across California. Lange used her camera as a political tool to critique themes of injustice, inequality, migration and displacement, and to effect government relief.
Highlights in this section are, among others, a series on sharecroppers in the Deep South that exposes relations of race and power, and the iconic Migrant Mother, a photograph which has become a symbol of the Great Depression, alongside images of vernacular architecture and landscapes, motifs often overlooked within Lange's oeuvre. Vintage prints in the exhibition are complemented by the display of original publications from the 1930s to foreground the widespread use of Lange's FSA photographs and her influence on authors including John Steinbeck, whose ground-breaking novel The Grapes of Wrath was informed by Lange's photographs. Traveling for many months at a time and working in the field, she collaborated extensively with her second husband Paul Schuster Taylor, a prominent social economist and expert in farm labour with whom she published the seminal photo book An American Exodus: A Record of Human Erosion in 1939, also on display in the exhibition.
The exhibition continues with rarely seen photographs of the internment of more than 100,000 American citizens of Japanese descent that Lange produced on commission for the War Relocation Authority following the Japanese attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in 1941. Lange's critical perspective of this little discussed chapter in US history however meant that her photographs remained unpublished during the war and stored at the National Archives in Washington. It is the first time that this series will be shown comprehensively outside of the US and Canada.
Following her documentation of the Japanese American internment, Lange produced a photographic series of the wartime shipyards of Richmond, California with friend and fellow photographer Ansel Adams (1902–1984). Lange and Adams documented the war effort in the shipyards for Fortune magazine in 1944, recording the explosive increase in population numbers and the endlessly changing shifts of shipyard workers. Capturing the mass recruitment of workers, Lange turned her camera on both female and black workers, for the first time part of the workforce, and their defiance of sexist and racist attitudes.
The exhibition features several of Lange's post-war series, when she photographed extensively in California. Her series Public Defender (1955–1957) explores the US legal defence system for the poor and disadvantaged through the work of a public defender at the Alameda County Courthouse in Oakland. Death of a Valley (1956–57), made in collaboration with photographer Pirkle Jones, documents the disappearance of the small rural town of Monticello in California's Berryessa Valley as a consequence of the damming of the Putah Creek. Capturing the destruction of a landscape and traditional way of life, the photographs testify to Lange's environmentalist politics and have not been displayed or published since the 1960s.
The exhibition concludes with Lange's series of Ireland (1954), the first made outside the US. Spending six weeks in County Clare in western Ireland, Lange captured the experience of life in and around the farming town of Ennis in stark and evocative photographs that symbolise Lange's attraction to the traditional life of rural communities.

The Fast Lane: Tracking the Energy Revolution 2019
Partnering with Navius Research, Clean Energy Canada delved into Canada's clean energy sector to better understand its contribution to the economy. This future-looking study follows our historical analysis from May (Missing the Bigger Picture) and provides a clear roadmap for Canada's future.
The report finds that Canada's clean energy sector will employ 559,400 Canadians by 2030—in jobs like insulating homes, manufacturing electric buses, or maintaining wind farms. And while 50,000 jobs are likely to be lost in fossil fuels over the next decade, just over 160,000 will be created in clean energy—a net increase of 110,000 new energy jobs in Canada.
When it comes to getting to Canada's energy future, there's a slow lane, fossil fuels, and a fast lane called the clean energy sector.

The excavation team is stand-by for rescue excavations on the non-protected parts of vicus, and for the region as well. The Saint Martin's church is free for visitors and shows at the exterior substantial Ottonian parts, especially in its impressive choir. Guided tours are organized along the on-going excavations, the museum complex and archaeological park, and the church. A special room in the museum is planned for the 3D-reconstruction of the church, a monumental evocation of its wall-paintings and the presentation of the associated archaeological finds. The reconstruction of a Carolingian scriptorium is taken into consideration.
The excavation reports are systematically published in the Archeologische Kroniek van Zuid-Oost-Vlaanderen (annex of the review Zottegems Genootschap voor Geschiedenis en Oudheidkunde).

Wiz Khalifa wants to hide botched hand tattoo
Rapper WIZ KHALIFA is trying to come up with a new tattoo design to cover up a botched inking on his hand.
The hip-hop star has covered his body with skin art but there's one drawing he really regrets.
He tells America's Sister 2 Sister magazine, "I've got to cover it up, because the guy who did it, he tried to do it in colour and it didn't really come out how it was supposed to. It was, like, a plant that grew a face and then it turned into some other stuff... He drew it. It was a really good drawing, but the way he did it didn't come out right."

Cosby was also fined $25,000.
Former model Janice Dickinson, who was among the 60 or so women who have come forward to accuse Cosby of drugging and violating them over the past five decades, looked at Cosby and said: "Here's the last laugh pal."
Another Cosby accuser in the courtroom, Lili Bernard, said: "There is solace, absolutely. It is his fame and his fortune and his phony philanthropy that has allowed him to get away with impunity. Maybe this will send a message to other powerful perpetrators that they will be caught and punished."
Cosby removed his watch, tie and jacket and walked out with hands cuffed in front of him.
The punishment came at the end of a two-day hearing at which the judge declared Cosby a "sexually violent predator" — a modern-day scarlet letter that subjects him to monthly counseling for the rest of his life and requires that neighbors and schools be notified of his whereabouts.
The comic once known as America's Dad for his role on the top-rated "Cosby Show" in the 1980s was convicted in April of violating Constand, Temple University women's basketball administrator, at his suburban Philadelphia estate in 2004. It was the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
Cosby faced a sentence of anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison. His lawyers asked for house arrest, saying Cosby — who is legally blind — is too old and vulnerable to do time in prison. Prosecutors asked for five to 10 years behind bars, saying he could still pose a threat to women.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the notion that Cosby's age and infirmity entitle him to mercy. "He was good at hiding this for a long time. Good at suppressing this for a long time. So it's taken a long time to get there," Steele said.
The sentencing came as another extraordinary #MeToo drama unfolded on Capitol Hill, where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh stands accused of sexual misconduct more than three decades ago.
The Cosby case "really raised awareness of the pervasiveness of ... sexual misconduct against subordinates and against women of relatively less power," said Daniel Filler, dean of Drexel University's law school. "For jurors, I think it's inherently changed the credibility of the accusers."
In the years since Constand first went to authorities in 2005, more than 60 women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, though none of those claims have led to criminal charges.
The judge ruled on Cosby's "sexually violent predator" status after a psychologist for the state testified that the entertainer appears to have a mental disorder that gives him an uncontrollable urge to have sex with women without their consent. When the ruling came down, a woman in the courtroom shot her fist into the air and whispered, "Yessss!"
In a statement submitted to the court and released Tuesday, Constand, now 45, that she has had to cope with years of anxiety and self-doubt. She said she now lives alone with her two dogs and has trouble trusting people.
"When the sexual assault happened, I was a young woman brimming with confidence and looking forward to a future bright with possibilities," she wrote in her five-page statement. "Now, almost 15 years later, I'm a middle-aged woman who's been stuck in a holding pattern for most of her adult life, unable to heal fully or to move forward."
She also wrote of Cosby: "We may never know the full extent of his double life as a sexual predator, but his decades-long reign of terror as a serial rapist is over."
The AP does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, which Constand and other accusers have done.
Constand went to police a year after waking up in a fog at Cosby's gated estate, her clothes askew, only to have the district attorney pass on the case.
Another district attorney reopened the file a decade later and charged the TV star after stand-up comic Hannibal Buress' riff about Cosby being a rapist prompted more accusers to come forward and after a federal judge, acting on a request from The Associated Press, unsealed some of Cosby's startling, decade-old testimony in Constand's related civil suit.
In his testimony, Cosby described sexual encounters with a string of actresses, models and other young women and talked about obtaining quaaludes to give to those he wanted to sleep with.
Cosby's first trial in 2017 ended with a hung jury. He was convicted at a retrial that opened months after the #MeToo movement had taken down such figures as Hollywood studio boss Harvey Weinstein, NBC's Matt Lauer, actor Kevin Spacey and Sen. Al Franken.
Constand said Cosby gave her what she thought were herbal pills to ease stress, then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay immobilized on a couch. Cosby claimed the encounter was consensual, and his lawyers branded her a "con artist" who framed the comedian to get a big payday — a $3.4 million settlement she received over a decade ago.
Five other accusers took the stand at the trial as part of an effort by prosecutors to portray him as a predator.
Cosby, whose estimated fortune once topped $400 million, broke barriers in the 1960s as the first black actor to star in a network show, "I Spy." He went on to superstardom as wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," a sitcom that showed America a new kind of black TV family: a warm and loving household led by two professionals, one a lawyer, the other a doctor.
He also found success with his Saturday morning cartoon "Fat Albert," appeared in commercials for Jello-O pudding and became a public moralist, lecturing the black community about young people stealing things and wearing baggy pants. He won a Presidential Medal of Freedom and countless Emmys, Golden Globes and Grammy awards.
As the allegations mounted, his career all but collapsed, "Cosby Show" reruns were taken off the air, and one college after another stripped him of his honorary degrees.

What happened to the tags page?
I am facing this problem since half an hour. After sending the response I don't see the tags page to add any tags. Are you to facing the same? Do we have to add the tags just below the discussion in the window provided?
Yes I am also facing the same thing though it might not be a problem.As previously we were compulsorily sent to the tags page even if the discussion is already having tags and there is nothing to add.Now if the thing is continued then if someone wants to add a tag then he can use the submit tags option. So this way they will save one step for submitting our responses. Though this may be due to some temporary problem in their coding.
Me too,i don't know what happened to the tags page.In the past days,after we post response,then the website requires me to choose tags,but this afternoon there is no requirment for tags.Maybe there is a mistake on the website.

Paynesville Man Sentenced to Life for Killing Grandparents
ST. CLOUD -- A Paynesville man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing his grandparents last March and then trying to burn their bodies to hide the crime.
A Stearns County judge sentenced 34-year-old Gregory Scheel to consecutive life terms for the murders of 93-year-old Wilbert Scheel and 80-year-old Gloria Scheel. The sentence carries a mandatory 30-year prison term for each murder count before the opportunity for parole, but the two terms will be served consecutively meaning Scheel won't be eligible for parole until he is 94-years-old.
Scheel pleaded guilty to two counts of 1st-degree murder in August.
Gloria and Wilbert Scheel -- Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
Court records show Scheel put a plastic bag over his grandfather's head and a ligature was used to tie the bag around his neck. He died from asphyxiation. The grandson then wrapped an extension cord around his grandmother's neck and strangled her. He drove the bodies to Kandiyohi County where he lit the car on fire.
The bodies of the Paynesville couple were found in their car along a rural road on March 22nd.
Gregory Scheel was arrested when he was spotted walking in the area. He had been living with his grandparents in the days leading up to their deaths.

These handles have been extremely popular these past few years. They are to be placed on the side of a door or the top of a drawer, and only a small strip is apparent, while the surface remains spotless. They are practical and often very aesthetic. Of course, we provide the appropriate screws, matched for colour, shape (rounded top) and size.

Dervêncio dos Coritanos () foi uma pequena cidade da província romana da Britânia. Hoje a área é conhecida como Little Chester, nos arredores de Derby, Inglaterra, localizada no condado inglês de Derbyshire.

Descrição
O primeiro forte romano na área foi erguido na margem oposta do rio Derwent no Parque Strutts. Foi substituído em 80 d.C por um forte no local atual, mas isso durou somente cerca de quarenta anos, sendo posteriormente desativado. Houve uma extensa atividade romana no forte, que foi conectado para oeste por uma estrada que ia para a Rua Icknield, e a leste por uma estrada que ia parar em Sawley, no rio Trent. Um forte-vicus que fabricava cerâmica e ferro trabalhado foi construído 600 metros a leste na Estrada Sawley. O forte foi mais tarde reocupado e reutilizado por mais 25 anos. A beirada de defesa e a paliçada de madeira foram remodeladas e portões de pedra foram construídos. Até fim do século III, ficou novamente desocupado, quando um muro de pedra foi erguido em volta da cidade.

Blais getting his way
Written by Jon Willing in the Ottawa Sun
Plans underway to develop major $8M east end park
The rest of the city should borrow from a playbook that's proposing an $8-million upgrade to Millennium Park in Orléans, according to the councillor quarterbacking the plan.
Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said an agreement between the city and four developers to add an artificial turf field, new soccer fields, splash pads and a field house — all on the builders' dime— is a blueprint of hownew parks can be quickly advanced.
"This is the new way to finance major recreation projects," Blais said Wednesday.
Blais has been working on the Millennium Park expansion for over a year, even before his heart attack at the beginning of 2013. His recovery put the project on the backburner, but now it's ready for political approval.
The city hasn't been planning to build the remainder of the park in the near future, with only $2 million set aside for construction.
Blais approached homebuilders Minto, Taggart, Mattamy and Claridge to get the park built right away.
"They get a park to market as part of theirmarketing program," Blais said.
The funding proposal involves the city borrowing the money and the developers making the repayments. The city would come up with a new development charge in the area as part of the funding plan.
In a report to council's planning committee, city staff call it "an innovative approach" to building a district park.
There are safety nets in the agreement to ensure the developersmake the payments and taxpayers don't shoulder cost overruns, Blais said.
Blais said the park could also benefit from a plan by the Cumberland Cobras soccer club, which wants to establish an indoor training facility under a property use agreementwith the city.
Along with the artificial soccer/football field— which would be built so a sports dome could be installed during the winter — the project calls for three new grass soccer fields and a junior soccer field.
Blais recognizes the economic development potential by having a large sports facility in Orléans.
"We're talking about a major amateur sports facility for tournaments," Blais said. "It opens up a number of doors."
The new facility would also be eligible for a naming rights agreement, generating revenue for the city.
A preliminary construction schedule has the new sections of the park opening in 2015.
The planning committee needs to sign off on the development plan Tuesday before sending a recommendation to council.

Discover: Brighton's Toy & Model Museum
By London Calling
Anna Asanova
All aboard the toy train as we take a tour of Brighton's Toy & Model Museum – the exhibition that takes playtime seriously.
The Toy & Model Museum is one of Brighton's foremost attractions, and has one of the widest collections of classic toys in the world. Located beneath Brighton station, this cosy display houses over ten thousand toys in its archive. Exhibits include miniature trains, cars, airplanes, boats, as well as dolls and figurines, dating from the 18th century to modern day. There are also two working model train sets, and a range of specialist train "running" showcases throughout the year. The museum hosts regular events for kids and adults, and their ever-growing online index provides a vital resource for students and academics of toy culture.
One thing is for sure: The Toy & Model Museum isn't lacking for toys. Everywhere you look there is a display case brimming over with boats or cars or model soldiers. Every possible space is devoted to some delicate specimen, and every shelf stacked two or three items deep. You couldn't squeeze another miniature mini in here if you shrunk it to more than half its reduced size. With this multitude of models come an extraordinarily broad variety of makes and designs. The renowned train collection includes examples from British manufacturers such as Bassett-Lowke and Meccano, as well as the German Marklin, Bing and Carette, each exhibiting their own individual style. The models also have a wide assortment of sizes. The Hornby-Dublo trains span just a few inches across, each deftly painted and embroidered. Turn around, however, and you almost fall over the giant Patrick Stirling - the recreation of a classic coal locomotive stretching four-foot across.

The other displays present similar diversity. For planes, three-foot Messerschmitt replicas dangle menacingly from the ceilings and tiny navy blue Grumman Hellcats sit static in the back-galleries. The boat exhibit features hulking steamers - probably still sea-worthy in their (relative) miniature state - alongside little red and white Penguin Cabin Cruisers, lifted straight from a sleepy Dorset coast. The stuffed toys will be a particular highlight for many visitors. A Noah's arc menagerie of bears, dogs, camels, ducks, monkeys, and a particularly nonchalant elephant relaxing in a wicker chair: it's the childhood cupboard you wished you'd always had. Remarkably, many are antiques, some stuffed pre-WWI: the stitches somehow still keeping those pebble eyes and padded paws in place.
At times the overwhelming quantity of the exhibits can outweigh the explanation they are given. A label accompanies each specimen outlining its name, date and manufacturer. How the toys might have been used or whom they might have been used by often goes unexplained, however. It's a shame and does leave those who didn't tinker with trains growing up a little intellectually lost. For such uninitiated parties, we recommend the more playful recreations. Two model train sets chug away in the museum's back gallery: one an idyllic Sussex town and countryside, the other a busy Trumpton-esque station. A recreated circus also supplies a tidy scene-scape bouncing with colourful clowns, elephants, ring-masters, ponies and a big top. It's the kind of muck-up you might have created as a child (except vastly larger) and provides a little creative relief from the mass jungle of static exhibits.
Final attractions worth searching out are in the shop. Lots of toys are available to buy, along with a selection of postcards and books - "A Pictorial Survey of Railway Signalling" anyone? The gift shop also houses a beautiful array of old photographs from the Brighton front of yesteryear. A delightful 19th century drawing from G. Durant entitled "Holiday Time at the Seaside" depicts a crowd of Victorians tumbling over each other to reach the beach. A tan, it seems, has always been in demand. The Toy & Model Museum is a truly bizarre and unique attraction, and one well-worth seeing. It's not always as fun as its subject matter might indicate, but you will find at least one toy (and probably ten or twenty) that brings back childhood memories- and that is never a bad thing.

Great Moments In Action History: Classic Fantastic Four
Derek Scarzella July 30, 2015
Comics0 Comments243 views
By Derek Scarzella
In honor of the upcoming Fantastic Four film coming from Fox we decided that there was no better way to celebrate than to salivate over Kate Mara look at some classic covers from the comic's illustrious history.
The covers span some of the most iconic moments of the FF and I encourage you to look up the storied history of the team itself. The book has had a staying power rivaled only by the heaviest hitters in comics and has reliably entertained generation after generation of young readers.
For me the best part about the team–a group of trailblazing space travelers forever changed by exposure to cosmic rays–is how it captures the love of science and mystery that was rampant in the 1960's when the comic came out. It's a team that sets out to discover, find new technologies, and save the day. The team is still a huge symbol of its era, much like Superman, and is always fun to rediscover.
Now the new movie coming out … well, it's had a troubled birth. Between the silly race controversy and Marvel throwing shade at Fox for keeping the movie rights to X-Men and FF, I'm pretty certain it's going to fail in the states. Fox is probably banking on international audiences to save it, but it remains to be seen how they will respond. I want to be excited for it, and the film looks sharp, but it just seems far too dour to match the whiz bang fun that the FF comic brings to the table.
But never mind all that. Enjoy the comic covers below, and feel free to explore the mythos behind these works of art. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome 2S!Review by Jacob C.
Run in my Tekno SCT410.3 with Hobbystar 150a ESC and Fuze 3900kv. Juuuuust enough battery for the system with a minor puff after a race that quickly fades.
Will this fit in Tamiya's that use a stick pacl?
You'd have to measure your battery compartment and compare to the dimensions listed. It will likely fit but measuring is critical.


Adobe Flash Pro is the Adobe vetted authoring environment designed to provide both essential and efficient tools for creating animated and interactive multimedia content that can be made available for the desktop, or as a web project.
The Adobe Flash Pro application is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, so you must start by installing the Creative Cloud application and logging into your Adobe account. Since all Adobe utilities are handled by this applications manager, you must perform this action only once.
The utility is sporting an organized user interface, so you will have no trouble finding your way around: the center area of Adobe Flash Pro's main window is reserved for previewing the animation, the bottom section displays the project's timeline, while the right side panels provide access to the Library and to the object's properties.
Adobe Flash Pro offers you the possibility to develop high quality, rich Flash projects by making use of basic drawing and animation tools. You can start by creating the background environment and animation characters by using the symbols included in the project's library, and then generate looping sequences and define the animation.
Moreover, the object's properties panel enables you to fully control the movement of each element, so you can quickly adjust your animations with minimal effort. The final result can be easily exported as a Flash Player project, as a self contained video, as a HTML Canvas file, and so on.
Adobe Flash Pro proposes efficient and productive solutions for developing a wide range of projects based on the Adobe Flash technology: games, videos, desktop or mobile applications, and so on. The best part is that you can import assets from Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, but also video and audio content, in order to streamline the process. Last but not least, Adobe Flash Pro provides an extensive online tutorial collection that can help you understand the app's basic capabilities, and how you can make the most out of your resources.

"I cannot accurately convey to you the efficiency of heroin in neutralising pain. It transforms a tight, white fist into a gentle, brown wave. From my first inhalation 15 years ago, it fumigated my private hell and lay me down in its hazy pastures and a bathroom floor in Hackney embraced me like a womb.
Since his sobriety, Brand has been advocating for substance abstinence, and supporting the recovery of fellow alcoholics and drug addicts. His case shows that while the battle can be hard and long, there exist supportive circles of people that can make the struggle less difficult.
Like the Brand of over ten years ago, millions of Americans have suffered or still are suffering from addictions. Drug use, for instance, is a rampant problem. A 2010 study by the federal Department of Health and Human Services sheds light on the 22 million Americans using drugs for recreational purposes, from marijuana to cocaine, to hallucinogens and inhalants. More and more people are being exposed to and pressured the drug subculture in communal activities; more, too, are biting into drugs' fleeting promise of joy.
This is where rehabilitation centers become significant. Professional treatment services tailored to the individual's situation are provided in such venues. For instance, the Midwest Institute for Addiction, a drug rehab in St. Louis, has established programs backed with approaches that take addiction and psychosocial factors into consideration.
Medically-assisted treatment and counseling are also offered in institutions like these. While self-help and determination can aid in recovery, sharing a professional relationship of trust, openness and honesty with a drug rehab personnel can direct one to the appropriate options and levels of care.
If you are dealing with substance addiction, follow the road to recovery by checking and finding support in a St. Louis drug rehab.


The nominations for the 76th annual Golden Globes are out.
That last film is heaping lots of recognition on its star and director, Bradley Cooper, who was also nominated in the director and best performance by an actor in a motion picture-drama category.
The nominees were announced this morning from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and the movie VICE has six nominations, leading all other films.
However, no female directors were honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association this year.
The Golden Globe Awards will be held on January 6th at the Beverly Hilton, hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg.

Kilts and Daggers
Victoria Roberts
Kilts and Daggers by Victoria Roberts is the second book in the author's Highland Spies series, and although not by any means a terrible book, it lacks substance and that je ne sais quoi that makes for a truly memorable read.
Lady Grace Walsingham is attending her elder sister's wedding to a Scottish laird, but really doesn't understand her sibling's decision to leave the civilisation of England for the wild, untamed highlands of Scotland. The weather is dreadful, the food is horrible, the language is impenetrable and the men are too large and unsophisticated – in short the place has nothing to recommend it, and she can't wait to get back to England, where she will marry her handsome, refined betrothed.
Our hero is Fagan Murray, captain of the guard, and he and Grace most certainly don't see eye-to-eye. Their antagonistic verbal sparring is one of the things I enjoyed most about the book, not least because I'm a sucker for romances in which the protagonists start out disliking each other. Fagan is detailed to escort Grace back to England following her month-long stay in Scotland, and during the journey, the pair become closer to each other and eventually act on their mutual attraction, but then find themselves enmeshed in a kidnap plot which ultimately threatens both their lives.
I enjoyed the book for the most part, although it's nothing to write home about and not a read to which I'm likely to return. Grace is a difficult character to warm to – she's only eighteen and I'm not a fan of very young heroines – and her continual disparagement of her host's nation is discomfiting and makes her come off as snobbish and overly self-important. That's not to say that the Scots don't similarly disparage the English – after all, the book is set in 1610, just a few years after the two countries were united under the rule of King James I – but the constant criticism left an unpleasant taste in my mouth regardless of who was doing the insulting. Grace is also one of those heroines whose decision to refuse the hero's proposal of marriage after they've slept together makes me want to spit. Throughout history, women have been judged – and one might say, still are – according to their "purity," so that whole "no strings" thing just doesn't fly. On the plus side, however, she does mature during the latter part of the story, as shown by her admission that perhaps her idea of becoming a spy for the crown (like her sister before her) is not such a great one after all, and this character growth meant I liked her more by the end of the book than I did at the beginning. Fagan is an attractive, but somewhat stereotypical hero – brave, honourable and gorgeous, and while the secondary spy/kidnap plot is well integrated into the romance, it's a little superficial and the villain is very much a one-note character.
Kilts and Daggers is a well-written, entertaining and easy read, which might suit if you're in the mood for simple brain-candy.

The White House heads to Twitter to battle the Republicans over tax extension
Steven Hodson
Every week it seems that the Republicans are butting heads with the Obama government over something and this past week has been no different as everyone involved is trying to get a payroll tax extension in place before the end of the year.
Not one to shy away from the use of social networks to try and sway public opinion the Obama White House has taken to Twitter to try and get average Americans to weigh in with their opinions over the battle being caused by the Republicans.
At the center of this go around is a two month extension which the White House has been trying to get passed so that they can at least make it into the new year and past the expensive holiday season before trying to hammer out a longer term agreement. It seems though that the Republicans are having none of it and want to work out a longer term deal now even if that means the payroll tax break disappearing and Americans finding more money disappearing from their paychecks.
So the White House is calling on Americans to head to Twitter and express their thoughts when it comes to having that extra $40.00 per paycheck that the payroll tax break brings them.
In a new tactic, the White House has called on middle class Americans to write in about how the payroll tax hike would affect them and published the responses on its website.
"Forty bucks a paycheck is HUGE for me. I am supporting my adult daughter and her four children," wrote K.J., from Sacramento, California, one of 18,000 responses the White House says it has received since Tuesday.
"By not passing the extended payroll tax cut they are literally taking food from my grandkids' mouths."
