» Matthew Johnson's blog
Submitted by Matthew Johnson on 23 Apr 2008.
Note: this is the third in a series of columns looking at the history and future of Web 2.0.
It all started with a spreadsheet.
In the last instalment of this series we looked at some of examples of user-created media such as mashups, fan movies and machinima. One thing all three forms have in common is that in each case the Internet is not a means of creating content but of delivering it. One of the unique features of computers, though, is their flexibility as a tool: they can be programmed to make doing almost anything easier – and that includes making media.
It wasn't always this way, of course. As we noted in the first instalment, one of the reasons why the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethic is so deeply ingrained in the computer world is because it has its roots in hobbyist culture. The original Apple was actually a DIY kit – users received a complete circuit board but had to add their own case, keyboard, monitor and power supply. Even that, though, was a step away from the DIY nature of other personal computers of the day, which required users to assemble the circuit board.
By the time the Apple II was introduced little evidence of its hobbyist origins remained: the case, keyboard, monitor and circuit board all came from the same company in the same package. What really made the computer a success, though, was the software that was available for it – a program called Visicalc, the very first spreadsheet. For the first time a computer could actually make the average person's life easier, helping people with home and business budgets and even their taxes. From that point on the computer world would be divided into two camps. One believed that computers should make things easier, while the other believed that anything worth doing with computers – and computers themselves – should be hard.
Much of what was covered in the last column can be seen as typical of the "hard path." Painstakingly matching beats and pulling samples to blend two albums together into a seamless whole, duplicating the sets and costumes of a forty-year-old TV series to shoot new episodes, using software intended for first-person shooter games to tell stories – all of these take enormous amounts of effort and commitment. The "soft path," though, is equally well-represented in Web 2.0, providing a variety of tools which allow users to become creators without having to go to the extremes found in the last column.
One way in which the Web is making it easier to become a "media author" is by bringing creators together. A good example is Pathetic Geek Stories, a website that lets people submit embarrassing stories to be illustrated by cartoonist Maria Schneider. For whatever reason, Schneider never has any shortage of submissions – there are over a hundred stories archived on the site – and the ones she chooses to draw range from the simply silly, like this one, to the genuinely heartbreaking. Schneider's work, in its focus on the smallest of life's details, is reminiscent of Harvey Pekar's American Splendor. Pekar is generally thought to be the overall author of his work even though it is drawn by a variety of artists; Schneider, on the other hand, draws from stories sent to her by many different contributors. This brings up a question that will come back repeatedly in looking at these collaborations: who is the actual author? Schneider's submission guidelines make it clear that she owns the copyright to the finished product, but authorship is a somewhat trickier question than copyright.
The question becomes even more complicated with more user-oriented sites like Bitstrips, a free online tool for making cartoons. Bitstrips allows the user to choose how much artistic control she wants to have: users may draw on a catalogue of established characters or create their own (a process which itself has several levels of complexity available.) The results tend to look fairly similar – there's a definite "house style" that results from the character creator, so that most wind up looking like this – but for those that want it there's enough flexibility to create much more distinctive-looking cartoons like this one. So far the content on Bitstrips is better enjoyed as an experiment than as art, but what's more interesting about it is the sense of it being a community: users are encouraged to share their characters, to be used in other comics on the site. As well, each strip is accompanied by a space for reader comments, which makes the experience more like reading a blog than a traditional cartoon. Bitstrips has addressed the copyright question in a King Solomon-like fashion, dividing the rights equally between the user and the site, but the question of authorship can't be resolved so neatly. Who, for instance, is the author of a strip created by one user featuring characters created by another and using a technique discovered by a third? (Bitstrips is just out of its beta testing period, and many of the bugs discovered by early users have been incorporated as features.) Or is the whole idea of authorship irrelevant in Bitstrips' collaborative culture?
A more corporate attempt to develop a similar resource is Electronic Arts' The Sims Carnival, which extends its popular Sims franchise into user-created content. The Sims Carnival, currently in a closed beta-test stage, provides tools that allow users to create their own games. Like Bitstrips, The Sims Carnival offers its users several levels of engagement: at the simplest, a program called "The Wizard" functions as a general-purpose "modding" tool, allowing users to customize one of several genres of games. Much more involved is "The Game Creator," which allows for a tremendous range of creativity – games created so far include Bird vs. Cat, an action game whose graphics look (intentionally) like something you might find on the door of the family fridge; Wash the Dog, which features the grooming of a photorealistic mutt; the irreducible Stick Man Hammer Throw; and of course any number of more typical action games.
The wide variety and individuality of these games raises a still more complex question of authorship: unlike Pathetic Geek Stories, all of whose entries are scripted and drawn by Schneider, or Bitstrips, in which most of the cartoons are made with templates provided by the site, many of the games found on The Sims Carnival have content which is entirely original to the users. Electronic Arts has stated clearly that the games created are not property of the users (though users are allowed to link to them from other sites). The Sims Carnival seems to be aspiring to create the kind of collaborative culture found on Bitstrips – every user has the right to modify or borrow elements from any other user's games. A major difference is that Carnival is eventually intended to be a money-making venture, both for Electronic Arts and the content-generating users (exactly how this will work has not yet been revealed). Whether the collaborative culture of 2.0 can survive a collision with the profit principle remains to be seen.
The problem of authorship is inherent in nearly all user-created content – who is the author of The Grey Album? – but the "soft path" throws it into sharp relief. Is the author of a game created using The Sims Carnival the user who designed the gameplay and the graphics, or the company that built the tools with which the game was made? We wouldn't say that The Sun Also Rises was co-authored by the company that built Hemingway's typewriter: on the other hand, Hemingway could just as easily have written his book in longhand or, had such things existed in his day, on a word processor. Although the typewriter facilitated the novel, it wasn't necessary to produce it. But the games featured on The Sims Carnival, and the cartoons on Bitstrip, would not be possible without the tools provided by those sites.
Perhaps more important than the authorship issue is the fact that nobody on any of these sites seems much concerned. The same is true with user-created content in general: it's not so much that users are willing to give up their authorship rights, as we'll see in a later column, so much as that they've abandoned the idea of authorship altogether. Instead of intellectual property, the model is a commons – where Sims Carnival users modify each others' games, Bitstrips users share their characters, and the makers of Star Trek: Phase II lend their re-created sets to the makers of other Star Trek re-enactors. After two hundred years of exalting the individual artist, we may be moving back to a focus on the community. In our next instalment we'll be looking at a Web 2.0 phenomenon that is all about community, crowdsourcing.
For Classroom Discussion
The one case in this column where authorship is fairly clear-cut is Maria Schneider's Pathetic Geek Stories. Why, when she draws from other people's experiences, do we consider Schneider the author of her work? What guidelines could we take from this example to help us decide who is the author in other cases?
Bitstrips makes creating a cartoon very easy – the user does not even have to design original characters if she does not want to. Does this change how we view a Bitstrips cartoon as art? Does automating cartooning in this way devalue cartoons as a medium? What do you think a professional cartoonist might think about Bitstrips?
Bitstrips has very successfully created a community where sharing of creative work is expected. How successful do you think the Sims Online will be in creating a similar community? Why?
The Sims Online allows people without much technical skill to create computer games. Do you think the games its users create will be different from commercial computer games? If so, in what ways might they be different and why? If not, why not?

Lockport woman accused of DWI with children in car
by: Evan Anstey
Posted: Nov 24, 2022 / 08:36 AM EST
LOCKPORT, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Niagara County Sheriff's office says a Lockport woman was found to be driving impaired with children in her vehicle.
Thursday around 3 a.m., the Sheriff's office says it was told by Cheektowaga police that a woman was intoxicated and headed to the Lockport area with two young children in the vehicle.
On Robinson Road, deputies stopped Juanita Darrell, 33, who they say had a two-year-old and an eight-year-old in the vehicle. Darrell was charged with felony DWI (Leandra's Law) and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The children were released to family and Darrell was remanded to the Niagara County Correctional Facility to await centralized arraignment.

Everyday thousands of individuals surf the web looking for internal peace quotes and for various methods to discover peace of thoughts. We discover from this kind of search that a lot of people suffer from worry, anxiety, and stress in their lives, therefore they appear for various methods to achieve inner peace, joy, and tranquility.
Think about this for a moment. All the things that you do with out any directed thought. Your coronary heart beating. Your respiration. Your blinking. Your strolling, talking, arm actions, leg actions, all the naturally occurring processes that manage your well being and your physique are carried out with out you consciously doing them.
I can hear some of you saying, "That's not true. I think about strolling to the still left and I go to the left". You may think about walking to the still left, but that's a complex established of individual commands to a entire string of different muscles and other physique components. Are you directing each and every one of them? No, of program not. That's what I imply by unconscious movements.
Repetition is the key to achievement in obtaining any new abilities. You have to apply your Chessmaze. The great new is the much more real your visualization, the more effective you will achieve what you want.
Rhyming is ideal because it makes issues simpler to keep in mind but it's not necessary for creating simple spells by any means. You could just communicate from the coronary heart if you so chose.
Remember never to force the words out. This will only make issues even worse. What will offer stammering assist is to remember that there is no hurry. No one is timing you when you communicate. Relax, get rid of the tension and anxiousness surrounding your kid, and let them have a go at it. You'd be shocked at the results.
Want to attain your writing goals? It's easy. Just write them down. I often come across previous notebooks in which I've listed goals. Without fall short, I've managed to achieve each goal on the checklist. There are good, rational factors why creating your goals assists you to attain them, and although this technique sounds super-simple, don't be misled. It's potent.


Do you like take-offs of fairy tales with dragons and mage curses which can't be broken? Christine Pope has written a series which will sure to delight. I so enjoyed the audiobook of Dragon Rose, narrated by Valerie Gilbert in first person.
Publisher's Summary: The shadow of the cursed Dragon Lord has hung over the town of Lirinsholme for centuries, and no one ever knows when the Dragon will claim his next doomed bride. Rhianne Menyon has dreams of being a painter, but her world changes forever when a single moment of sacrifice brings her to Black's Keep as the Dragon's latest bride.
My Thoughts: This is my first adventure with author Christine Pope. Dragon Rose is written in first person which is a difficult voice to write. Valerie Gilbert, as narrator, was a great choice for she truly conveyed the emotional upheaval Rhianne experienced when she chose to take the place of her best friend and marry Theran Blackmoor, the dragon of Black's Keep. Ms. Gilbert is the reason I picked this book to listen to in the first place. She has a great presence and entirely engulfed me in the author's world.
Rhianne was unique. She had two gifts. As a 'seerer' she was haunted with dreams, difficult to forget. She also had a love of nature and the ability to paint, something she learned from an elderly painter and an occupation she should not follow. With this skill she worked through her dreams and fell in love with her painting of the man in her dreams. Little did she know how important this skill would be for her very life!
This tale reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. A mage spell kept Theran in dragon form. He was obliged to marry young girls from the nearby village – if he didn't the curse would manifest itself by destroying more lives. Theran was reduced to marrying even though he knew the fate of these young women. 500 years of marrying and still the curse continued. Would there be no end? Could Rhianne save her dragon whom she'd come to love? Could she save herself?
Plenty of suspense and danger. The story was riveting, yet very much a fairy tale. I'm thoroughly delighted to find another author who writes fantasy with romance inclinations. And writes so well! Recommended highly for those who love fairy tale plots with just enough twist to keep the reader guessing.

Great review! it is waiting for me on my iPad, I love Valerie's narrations!
This gal was new to me. She's written quite a bit — her fantasy certainly takes you to a land of excitement.
She also did book 2 of this series. I'll be getting it in a couple of days.

InBIsibility: Bisexual Erasure and Bisexual Narratives in Contemporary Cinema
DOUTORANDA
Estrela Rivas López
Belén Martín Lucas
LIÑA DE INVESTIGACIÓN
Feminario
This dissertation examines the representation of bisexuality in contemporary cinema, with a focus on mainstream US film. Divided into four chapters, the first one provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of lesbian, gay and bisexual representation in Hollywood from 2000 to 2019, highlighting the most prominent and stereotypical problems inherent in representation in mainstream American film. The second chapter gives a more detailed look at those films from the corpus studied in Chapter 1 that include bisexual characters, discussing matters such as representability, readability, stereotypes and how gender informs depictions of bisexuality. Chapter 3 explores the ways in which neoliberal ideology and the market affect queer representation, what the ethical questions are behind cultural representations of queer subjectivities in the context of neoliberalism and the commodification of queerness, and how these matters affect bisexual visibility specifically. The final chapter presents analyses of Stage Beauty (2004), Moonlight (2016) and Disobedience (2017), three films whose narratives allow us to discuss different matters related to the notion of bisexuality; namely, how it challenges dominant discussions around the gender/sex binary and compulsory heterosexuality, and its relationship with religion, class and race.

here's an update on what to do with icons.
we will use images instead of drawing icons.
the idea is that there is an image folder in the neo that assigns images to applications. even packages installed through assassin will be assigned an image from that folder. to change the image of an application, you hold your finger on the icon for one sec, which takes you to the image folder. select which image you want for the application, done.
the images will be creative commons, will have an update on that soon.
of course, we can do this in increments. maybe we just assign images first, not allowing people to select an image yet, then do updates later for switching and adding.
For ASU it would be nice to have a border around each icon in the launcher. Will likes to edit the edj file of that box until it meets his requirements.
All the rest goes into next releases.
already with the image icons, thank you.

Abstract: Epigenetic mechanisms such as histone-acetylation have been implicated with learning and memory and are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Histone-deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors were shown to exhibit neuroprotective and neurodegenerative properties in AD animal models, and targeting HDACs appears to be a promising therapeutic strategy for brain diseases. The role of the distinct HDAC proteins in the adult brain is, however, not well understood and so far only pan-HDAC inhibitors have been tested in preclinical settings. Understanding the role of individual HDACs in cognition and AD pathogenesis is therefore vital to develop more selective HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of AD. In this study we investigated the role of HDAC5 in memory function and AD pathogenesis. We show that loss of HDAC5 impairs memory function but has little impact on pathogenesis in a mouse model for amyloid pathology. Our data reveals a novel role of HDAC5 in memory consolidation and shows that future approaches to develop more selective HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of AD should avoid targeting HDAC5.

TUFC Dream Team No.1 – Sam Druiff
Dominic RomanDREAM TEAMLeave a comment
A NEW TT SERIES WHERE FANS TALK ABOUT WHO WOULD BE IN THEIR TORQUAY UNITED DREAM TEAM (PLUS SUBS AND MANAGER) – STARTING WITH NEW TT CONTRIBUTOR SAM DRUIFF…
My first game at Torquay was against Oldham Athletic in November 2004. It was the game that saw Leon Constantine score on his debut – spoiler alert – he doesn't make my XI!
In goal it was a toss-up between two players; Andy Marriot or Bobby Olejnik. Both ended up with our neighbours 20 miles up the A380. I'm going with Bobby Olejnik, purely down to the amount of points he won for us. Olejnik was one of the first signings under Martin Ling's leadership. Countless times on that incredible run from the turn of the year we went on, games were won 1-0 with Bobby keeping clean sheet after clean sheet. Bobby ended the season making the team of the year and his performances were enough for Peterborough to part with £300,000 to secure his services.
Full-Backs
Right-back was a tough one because I've seen so few good ones at Torquay, sorry James Hurst! I've decided to cheat a bit with this one and use Lee Mansell. I know he hated being at right back, but he did a good job there over a number of years and I had too many other options in midfield. Also someone who made the appearances that Lee did had to make my team. He's also the player who's played the most games in my time supporting the Gulls. Left-back is the easiest decision I'll ever have – Kevin Nicholson. That goal against Barnet, always fought back from whenever he was dropped and a true Torquay United legend.
Centre-Backs
Centre backs were an easier decision than I thought it would be and I've decided to pick Steve Woods and Mark Ellis. Steve Woods was a leader and a rock, with a long stay at Plainmoor ended abruptly by the ever ruthless Paul Buckle. Mark Ellis makes my team because for me he was such a talented footballer. He was quick, strong in the air, scored goals, and shouldn't be at a club like Forest Green!
Midfield was an enjoyably tough one, as looking back we've had some outstanding players. On the right I've gone with Eunan O'Kane. A properly exciting player; he had so much time on the ball and it's very easy to forget he was only 20 when he joined 'The Gulls'. One of the best players I've ever seen play football and I'm not shocked he's gone on to play in the Premier League.
My two central midfielders are Chris Hargreaves and Alex Russell. I only saw a bit of Alex, but I remember just how good he was on the ball. He was so adept at picking out passes and controlling the game. I remember there was talk of him re-signing not that long ago and it's a shame we didn't see him return to Plainmoor.
Chris Hargreaves partners Russell in my XI, and would be my captain. He had very few bad performances in his time with us. A brilliant captain for the club and led us back to the league, finishing off with a screamer at Wembley. It's such a shame it never worked out for him as the manager.
On the left side it's 'Mr Torquay United' – Kevin Hill! You can't not include a man who's played 417 games for the club, making his last appearance in a yellow shirt at Wembley, in a Torquay XI! My favourite memory of Kev was on the way home from the play-off final against Cambridge; I met him at a service station (he'd been working for Radio Devon) and he is just one of the friendliest people you'll meet.
Tim Sills is my first upfront, and without a doubt my favourite ever Torquay striker, as the man who provided the goals to get us back into the league. Obviously the standout goal from his Gulls career was his Wembley header, but my favourite was against Histon in the play-offs. Great ball in from Mansell and a rocket header from Sills which eventually sealed our trip to Wembley.
Choosing a second striker was tough; if I'm honest I've not really liked a lot of the strikers at the club. For every Tim Sills we've had about 5 Karl Hawleys. So my second striker and the man finishing off my starting 11 is a lazy choice. I'm going with Kieffer Moore. 5 goals in 4 games, and one of the most naturally gifted players I've ever seen.
Picking a manager was between five potential candidates; Leroy Rosenior, Ian Atkins, Paul Buckle, Martin Ling and Kevin Nicholson. After a lot of deliberating I've picked Martin Ling, closely followed by Nico and Buckle. I decided Kev can't manage a team he's in already (although he's done it a few times in the last couple of years!), whilst Paul Buckle was so successful in his time as boss here. But I just always admired Martin Ling's management, and any player I speak to says he was their favourite to work under.
5 Subs
Andy Marriot – Only just missed out on the first team.
Chris Todd – Solid at the back. To play the way he did after he had leukaemia was incredible and inspirational.
Luke Young – Terrific on the ball. Vital we keep hold of him; gets in for that goal against Wrexham.
Tony Bedeau – Torquay legend, goal-scorer.
Martin 'Buster' Phillips – Always enjoyed watching Buster playing!
The Line-Up
Mansell – Woods – Ellis – Nicholson
O'Kane – Hargreaves (C) – Russell – Hill
Sills – Moore
Subs: Marriott, Todd, Young, Phillips, Bedeau
Manager – Martin Ling

Q: Display multiple entries from JSON with PHP I need some help with my code, I am noob with JSON and PHP, but I`m learning
[
  {
 "eventId": 213,
"balls": [
  {
    "ball": 26,
    "id": 1
  },
  {
    "ball": 31,
    "id": 2
  }
]
  },
  {
"eventId": 212,
"balls": [
  {
    "ball": 22,
    "id": 1
      },
  {
    "ball": 33,
    "id": 2
  }
]
}
]

I have this JSON and this part of php code:

<?php
$url = 'external-link';

$data = file_get_contents($url);
$json_post = json_decode($data,true);
?>

        <?php foreach ($json_post as $event) : ?>

            <?php echo $event['eventId']; ?>
            <?php foreach ($json_post as $ball) : ?> <?php echo $ball['balls'][0]['ball']; ?> <?php endforeach; ?>

        <?php endforeach; ?>

I have a wrong display of this code, but not how I want to be:
 213 | 26 31

 212 | 22 33

Any help would be appreciated,thanks

A: You need to make your inner foreach loop over the current event...
<?php foreach ($event['balls'] as $ball) : ?> <?php echo $ball['ball']; ?> <?php endforeach; ?>

In case not all elements have this data, you can use the following...
    <?php if(isset($event['balls'])):
        foreach ($event['balls'] as $ball) :
               echo $ball['ball'];
        endforeach;
        endif;?>

Full code:
$url = "url";
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$json_post = json_decode($data,true);
?>

        <?php foreach ($json_post as $event) : ?>

            <?php echo $event['eventId']; ?>
            <?php if(isset($event['balls'])):
                foreach ($event['balls'] as $ball) :
                       echo $ball['ball'].' ';
                endforeach;
                endif;?>

        <?php endforeach; ?>

Various workshops at Ely College this week, allowed students to explore their personal wellbeing, encouraging discussion about making health choices so that each and every young person aims to reach their fullest potential. Working with outside partners, PLEDGES and Futures Day coincided perfectly with the #TimeToTalk national mental health campaign.
PLEDGES and Futures Day is a regular feature at Ely College. A day of extended learning focusing on Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE), each age group had a different focus covering some essential elements of the curriculum. By getting involved and engaging with outside partners such as the police and first aiders trainers, students can also earn their PLEDGES awards.
While Year 11 students looked to the 'future', with a dedicated day of revision to immerse themselves in their English Literature GCSE, younger students took part in a carousel of workshops centred around 'making healthy choices'. Gaining a deeper understanding of everything from cyber-bullying, positive body image and forming healthy relationships to healthy eating, mental wellbeing and future career choices, these activities simulated the challenges our young people face.

Limited Edition Rosette
Shrimps announce a limited edition football rosette in the teams red/white colours in support for the 'Eric & Ernie' Bronze Wall Relief
Morecambe Football Club have today announced that as part of their support for the 'Eric & Ernie' Bronze Wall Relief they have taken delivery of a limited edition football rosette in the teams red/white colours. Also depicting an image of Eric Morecambe himself these rosettes are sure to be collector's items in years to come.
Priced at £5 each and available from the Morecambe FC Club Shop, all net proceeds will go directly to the 'tribute fund'.
MFC General Manager Mark Dixon commented 'What a great way to show our support for something that will benefit the town for many years to come. The rosettes were delivered earlier this week and were seen being worn for the first time at the unveiling yesterday.
They are extremely good quality and will make an ideal stocking filler for any 'shrimps' fan. We are looking forward to the next two matches with big away support expected and a great atmosphere. I suspect quite a few Luton & Carlisle fans will leave the Globe with these reminders of our football supporting yester years firmly attached to their jackets.'
Please call 01524 411797 option 3 for all details on the fundraising rosettes and all other Xmas bundle offers.

"Sorry, what?" I asked, albeit all too abruptly, during a call with Spanish architect Aránzazu González Bernardo.
Bernardo is the lead designer of emerging studio ODAMI. She was telling me how she came up with the concept to build spill-proof "cubbies" into the sleek tables at SARA, the new sister restaurant to RASA, from The Food Dudes.
The physical cubbies were built into the table so that guests could come in and have a moment to "let go".
Bernardo was told that the restaurant would be a no-phone/no-internet space, quite the welcome relief in a time when most spaces in Toronto are designed so people can go out without ever disconnecting.
In fact, the 2,400-square-foot restaurant housed in an early 1900's Victorian home is fully designed to make you feel fully present and in the moment.
Bernardo and Canadian designer Michael Fohring were brought on to transform the home into the simple, soothing restaurant space conceptualized by the MiiM agency, while still honouring the building's history.
They uncovered the layers of paint on the exterior, to bring it back to the way it used to be. They removed the ceiling on the main floor as well as the mezzanine level to create grand, cathedral ceilings and open the space.
Given that it's not a huge space, the concern was how they would accommodate different groups of people from birthdays to couples and so on.
"So, instead of shaping the tables into squares, like most restaurants do, we shaped them in a way that created an interlocking modular system so you can rotate tables to interlock to create an eight seater space," says Bernardo.
The space is a modern, pastel-toned, two-floor dining sanctuary.
Notable features include custom ODAMI-designed furnishings built by Patrick Murphy and Toronto Woodworks, custom chairs sourced by Suite 22, specially designed service aprons by Mary Young and ceramic dinnerware from Toronto-based artist High Noon. Soft-touch menu covers debossed with iconic logo branding by Jacksmith Creative and Han Choi, depict the two A's in SARA as chairs facing each other to reinforce the concept of community.
Lighting was one of the things on which Bernardo and her team were given clear direction.
SARA's dining experience is best shared. Dessert spoons are designed to be double ended so you can share your cutlery, making the experience fun and different.
"It's a small thing, but people love it—when you share dessert, you are sharing the spoon and sharing a moment," says Bernardo.
Another way to have a memorable moment? Head to the washroom, where the Japanese TOTO toilets come with all the bells and whistles. How's that for a forget-me-not?

Worker suffers life changing injuries in fall
Home/HSE1/Worker suffers life changing injuries in fall
Company sentenced after worker suffers life changing injuries in fall
A company, two directors and a self-employed contractor have been sentenced and fined after an electrician fell two storeys through an unprotected stairwell.
Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court heard how, on 1 December 2016, Mr T Quirk was carrying out electrical work at Mile House, Main Road, Worleston, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 6DH. This property was owned and was being refurbished by self-employed contractor Mr Steven Dixon. Mr Quirk, whilst exiting the loft, fell from a damaged Youngman Board spanning the stairwell, landing on the concrete floor below and suffering multiple fractures, a bleed on the brain and facial nerve damage.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that two directors of the company, Mr Karl Grice and Mr Sean Mullan, were fully aware, along with Mr Dixon, that the damaged board was being used as a makeshift ladder and had used it themselves. They were also aware of the unprotected edges of the stairwell, but had not carried out risk assessments, identified which control measures were needed, or implemented suitable safety measures to protect workers on site.
Green Generation Renewable Services Ltd of Knowsley Industrial Park, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 15 (2) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £2,548.28
Mr Karl Grice of Highmarsh Crescent, Newton-Le-Willows, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 15 (2) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, by virtue of Section 37 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison (suspended for 18 months) and fined £1,000 and ordered to pay costs of £2,000.
Mr Steven Paul Dixon of Warmingham Grange Lane, Sandbach, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (2) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison (suspended for 18 months) and fined £1,000 and ordered to pay costs of £2,000.
Mr Sean Mullan of Argyle Road, Garston, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 15 (2) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, by virtue of Section 37 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and was fined £1,500 and ordered to pay costs of £2,000.
After the hearing, HSE Inspector Deborah Walker said:
"This incident could have so easily have been prevented. Falls from height remain one of the most common causes of work-related injuries and the risks associated with working at height are well known. Those in control of work have a responsibility to devise safe methods of working and to provide the necessary safety measures.".


Superior without going to Cascade River State Park, and Superior National Lutsen-Golf is a nice golf course nearby. Take a side tour to Jonvick Creek, and if you come at the right time of year, Poplar River offers some great whitewater. You can never get enough of the great skiing at Lutsen, and there are plenty of folks from Lutsen here. You imagine that's enough? Just getting warmed up. While you're here at Solbakken Resort On Superior you can take a hike along the North Shore State Trail.

Q: Recursive Trigger Issue I have this code for a trigger, that according to my logic, should break on the second run, given an if statement I setup, but I'm still getting an error related to maximum trigger depth.
Here is my trigger:
trigger OppProductRollupTriggers on OpportunityLineItem (after insert,after update) {

    List<OpportunityLineItem> allPLI = new List<OpportunityLineItem>();

    allPLI = [SELECT Id,Name,OpportunityId,Opportunity.Custom_Product__c,Quantity,Product2.Family from OpportunityLineItem WHERE ID IN:Trigger.newMap.keySet()];
    System.debug(allPLI);

    for ( OpportunityLineItem oli : allPLI) {
        IF(oli.Name.contains('P1') || oli.Product2.Family.contains('Fam1') || oli.Product2.Family.contains('FAM2') ||  oli.Name.contains('P2')){
            IF(oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c ==FALSE)
            {
                oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c= TRUE;
                update oli;
            }
            else{
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}

The line I believe should break the loop, is the one that says if the Custom_Product__c == FALSE, then do the update, if the update was already done(meaning it will be True, just return.
Any ideas why I'm still getting an error?

A: Sherwood Zhao's answer identifies the why of the recursion; you keep updating the line item instead of the related opportunity. However there are a number of other issues here too.
Try:
trigger OppProductRollupTriggers on OpportunityLineItem (after insert, after update) {
    List<OpportunityLineItem> olis = new List<OpportunityLineItem>();

    olis = [
            SELECT Id, Name, OpportunityId, Opportunity.Custom_Product__c, Quantity, Product2.Family
                    FROM OpportunityLineItem
                    WHERE Id IN :Trigger.newMap.keySet()
    ];

    Set<Id> oppIds = new Set<Id>();

    for (OpportunityLineItem oli : olis) {
        // This makes use of the fact that if there are multiple line items that reference the same Opportunity
        // then the SOQL query actually returns a single in-memory Oppo shared by all the line items
        if (!oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c &&
                (oli.Name.contains('P1') || oli.Product2.Family.contains('Fam1') ||
                        oli.Product2.Family.contains('FAM2') || oli.Name.contains('P2'))) {
            // Setting this to true prevents the above if condition from considering other line items where
            // the opportunity has already been seen in this trigger execution
            oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c = true;

            // Remember just which opportunities need updating. Given the above point this is a little
            // over the top, but using a set is a nice way to ensure you do only try to update a given
            // object once in a given DML operation (otherwise you'll get an exception)
            oppIds.add(oli.OpportunityId);
        }
    }

    if (!oppIds.isEmpty()) {
        // Now we know which opportunities need to have the flag set, so let's generate the data needed
        // and do the DML
        List<Opportunity> opps = new List<Opportunity>();

        for (Id id : oppIds) {
            opps.add(new Opportunity(Id = id, Custom_Product__c = true));
        }

        update opps;
    }
}

Just be aware that this processing is only performed on insert or update of a line item and will not happen because the related opportunity has been updated or when the product families change.

A: Custom_Product__c is Opportunity's field, right?
You should update your Opportunity record, not OpportunityLineItem.

A: change code to following :
trigger OppProductRollupTriggers on OpportunityLineItem (after insert,after update) {

    List<OpportunityLineItem> allPLI = new List<OpportunityLineItem>();

    allPLI = [SELECT Id,Name,OpportunityId,Opportunity.Custom_Product__c,Quantity,Product2.Family from OpportunityLineItem WHERE ID IN:Trigger.newMap.keySet()];
    System.debug(allPLI);
    list <Opportunity> updateList = new list <Opportunity>();
    list<id> oppIds = new list<id>();
    for ( OpportunityLineItem oli : allPLI) {
        IF(oli.Name.contains('P1') || oli.Product2.Family.contains('Fam1') || oli.Product2.Family.contains('FAM2') ||  oli.Name.contains('P2')){
            IF(oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c ==FALSE)
            {
                //check if same opportunity is already added in update list then dont add same opportunity update again.
                if(!oppIds.contains(oli.OpportunityId)){
                    Opportunity oppObj = new Opportunity();
                    oppObj.id = oli.OpportunityId;
                    oppObj.Custom_Product__c= TRUE;
                    updateList.add(oppObj);
                    oppIds.add(oli.OpportunityId);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    update updateList;
}

Custom_Product__c is opportunity field and you can not direct update parent object file like oli.Opportunity.Custom_Product__c= TRUE; this.. you have to create one reference for parent object and then update that reference to update parent record.

Home Catholic School News Watson named school superintendent
Watson named school superintendent
Bishop Dennis Sullivan has named Dr. William Watson Superintendent of Catholic Schools, effective May 28. Mary Boyle, current superintendent, will work with him through the summer and retire on Aug. 31.
Bishop Dennis Sullivan has appointed Dr. William Watson to the position of Superintendent of Catholic Schools effective May 28.
Watson joined the Diocese of Camden's Catholic schools office in 2013 and currently serves as director of curriculum and assessment. Working with the University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education and as many as 60 South Jersey Catholic School teachers in each subject area, he has led K-12 curriculum revitalization in math, science, social studies and language arts.
"I am grateful to Bishop Sullivan for the opportunity to serve the church more deeply in this position," said Watson, a South Jersey native and the product of Catholic school education. "I am excited to work even more closely with the leadership here at the diocese and in South Jersey Catholic Schools as we continue to pursue and deliver the excellence that our students and their families deserve and expect."
"When we hired Bill I recognized his leadership ability and hoped others would as well," said Mary Boyle, current Superintendent of Catholic Schools. "Our principals and teachers have such high regard for him. I believe this will be a very positive transition."
An educator since 1973, Boyle will continue to work with Watson and the schools office until her Aug. 31 retirement date.
"I have been so blessed to work with and learn from Mary over the last six years. She will be greatly missed, but I know her legacy and accomplishments will live on in the strong foundations for South Jersey Catholic Schools that she has left through her leadership and tireless efforts," said Watson.
Before joining the Diocese of Camden, Watson spent five years as Chief of Learning Experiences & Evaluation at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. He also served as Education Director for the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center in Mobile, Alabama.
Watson graduated from Tulane University with a bachelor's degree in psychology. He earned his master's degree in teaching from The University of Portland in partnership with the University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education. Working as a fully-funded research assistant, Watson earned his research doctorate in curriculum and instruction at George Washington University. He has been an adjunct member of the Mary Ann Remick Leadership Program at the University of Notre Dame since 2015.

"Los bailes y el teatro de los negros en el folklore de Cuba" es un libro del etnólogo, jurista, antropólogo, musicólogo y escritor cubano Fernando Ortiz que aborda la fuerte influencia en la cultura cubana de los bailes, la música y la pantomima de los africanos traídos por la fuerza durante la trata de esclavos en la época colonial.

Sinopsis
En la propia introducción del libro Fernando Ortiz admite que considera la obra como una continuación del libro "La africanía de la música folklórica de Cuba". Se encuentra dividido en cuatro capítulos:

I.  La socialidad de la música africana

Se argumenta la sociabilidad de la música y en especial la de los pueblos del África sobre todo aquellos provenientes del Golfo de Guinea, y es un profundo estudio de cómo la idea del individuo africano es poco concebida, siendo superior la de comunidad y grupo, en donde el uso de la música tiene una función alentadora, mística y organizativa de los hombres y mujeres que la conforman. Ejemplo de ello es el gran uso de coros que responden siempre a un oficiante.

II. Los bailes de los negros

Se profundiza en la gran influencia del hombre africano en los bailes del resto del mundo, en especial del mundo occidental. El exceso de sus movimientos. La estrecha unidad existente entre los bailes y la música, y su carácter religioso y solemne en muchas ocasiones de las culturas africanas como la Arará y Yoruba.

III.La pantomima entre los negros

En este capítulo se abordan temas históricos como las fiestas del "Día de Reyes" en La Habana, tiempo en que las autoridades españolas de la época permitían que los negros esclavos y libertos realizaran caravanas y fiestas religiosas, donde los provenientes del país Calabar exhibían sus atuendos de los conocidos diablitos (Iremes) de las Sociedades Secretas Abacuá en Cuba, siendo un evento cultural que propició el sincretismo tanto cultural como religioso de la Isla. También se describen las danzas religiosas locumí y arará, así como el canto y baile en orden de prelación, llamado Oru del Eyá Aránla, dedicado a cada santo u orisha y original en cada uno de ellos, identificándose por los movimientos de quien llega al paroxismo y semiinconsciencia, que popularmente se le nombra montarse el santo, cuál es el orisha que se manifiesta dentro de la persona "montada". Otro tema que aborda el capítulo es el olvidado "Baile del Maní", un juego violento muy popular en el siglo XIX e inicio del XX en Cuba sobre todo en el occidente y centro de la Isla, que muchas veces terminaba con serias lesiones de quienes lo practicaban e incluso en la muerte.

IV. El teatro de los negros

En el último capítulo del libro, se realiza un profundo análisis del teatro de los negros, muy ligado  a los bailes y a la música, donde en ciertas culturas africanas posee el objeto de contar historias y en ocasiones de predecir o influir en el futuro. Por su parte en la cultura y el teatro cubano ha sido muy común la presencia del negro como personaje pintoresco, en especial del Teatro bufo.

For more than 75 years, MD Anderson has attracted many of the brightest minds in research and medicine to Houston, where they've changed the way cancer is treated through innovation, creativity and breakthroughs. Their commitment has resulted in improved outcomes and a steady rise in survival rates for cancer patients around the world. This tradition of discovery continues today, as further advances lay the foundation for even better cancer care tomorrow.
Therapeutics Discovery scientists bring clinical cancer research to the lab and use unique model for drug development to benefit cancer patients.
Women who undergo mastectomies have a number of different choices to restore what cancer took away.
MD Anderson researchers are examining the use of inhaled chemotherapy to treat cancer that has spread to the lungs from other sites in the body. They hope to find that the inhaler delivers the chemotherapy drug directly to the lungs where it treats lung tumors while sparing healthy organs.

There is no such thing as a soul mate!
Firstly let's look at the traditional definition of a soul mate. A soul mate is a person that you feel a very deep and strong connection with emotionally, physically and spiritually. This definition however, and popular belief, usually implies that there is only one such person in the whole universe that you will find this deep compatibility with and that is somehow meant only for you.
we are all each others soul mates! Yeah I said it. You reading this, you are my soul mate and I am yours! You are a part of my soul family. Once we were all together in such great harmony and love so connected that we were ONE. Then we decided to have some fun and mix it up a bit and decided to come here onto this physical plane. We disbursed into all directions and the task was/is to find each other again.
Our egos have carefully comprised illusions for us to make it a bit more of a challenge for us. All throughout history and even now we see each other as separate, male and female, you and me. It is all part of a great plan to create duality. We possess both feminine and masculine energies within and by incarnating as a man or a woman we are trying to balance these energies again. We set up elaborate challenges, trials and obstacles on our way in order for us to remember. Some may call the successful completion of this process enlightenment.
But let's get back to the 'finding our other half', which is an expression I was never very comfortable with. Even Plato way back then contemplated the soul mate relationship in his Symposium, where he has Aristophanes present a story about soul mates. Aristophanes states that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them.
We do not have to look for another part to complete us, because we already are complete and perfect. We do not have to search for the 'other part of our angel wing' (I know you all have read this quote at some point on Facebook) because we already have a complete set! That all implies that we are somehow lacking or incomplete and need to find someone else's love to fill that void. Again this is just a big illusion our egos have comprised in order for us to realize, through trials and errors, that we have been complete all along and do not need to look outside of ourselves in order to be who we really are, but rather to look within. In addition to that, by embarking on this quest of finding your'other half', you will give away your own personal powers and place them into the hands of somebody else (that can be a lover, god etc.) to help you feel whole and loved again. Understand that nobody else will ever be able to make you 100% happy, loved, satisfied and feel at peace if you are not 100% happy, satisfied and at peace with yourself.
"Know yourself and you will know the world.
Simple as that, but think about it! So stop searching you are already there! You are your own soul mate, the person sitting next to you, your brother, your sister, your neighbor they all are your soul mates! Be kind and loving to one another and treat each other with respect because they way you treat another (your soul mate) is the way that you treat yourself!

Skin moles are harmless growths that everyone has. How many you have is determined by how much sun you were exposed to when you were a child and also by heredity. Moles don't all look alike, some are flat and some are not. Most moles will never turn cancerous. When they do become cancerous they are called melanomas.
How can you tell if what you have is just a mole or it is a melanoma? The best way is to know your skin. Self examination once a month will not only make you familiar with your skin but will help you to notice any changes as early as possible. What you are looking for is any new growth or any changes to moles that you already have. Skin cancers can be very slow growing, some types can take as long as 20 years to develop, others are very fast growing.
You need to have a full length mirror, two is even better. First check everything that you can see without the mirror, arms, legs, chest, feet and hands. Don't forget to look between your toes and at the soles of your feet. Now use the mirror to check under your arms, your back and under your breasts (if you are a woman). You also need a small mirror to check your genitalia. A blow-dryer will help you to check your scalp. This may be awkward the first time but once you get used to making the monthly exams you will be able to do it in just five to 10 minutes. This exam can save your life.
Melanomas usually look different from regular moles. According to the American Melanoma Foundation, you need to check the mole for the ABCDs, asymmetry, border irregularity, color change and a diameter bigger that 5mm.
Asymmetry: the moles that most people have are round, if you divide it in half the halves are equal. If you notice a mole that doesn't fit this pattern you need to have it looked at by a doctor.
Border: If a mole has borders that look rough or uneven this is also a warning sign.
Color change: If a mole has several colors of brown or black or shows blue, white or red color, this is a warning sign that something isn't right.
Diameter: If a mole is larger than a pencil eraser it should be looked at. Melanomas tend to grow larger than a simple harmless mole.
There is also an E that needs to be considered. You also want to be aware of changes to moles that you already have, this is evolving.
If a mole continues to grow, if the skin around the mole seems swollen or red, if the mole becomes crusty or begins to ooze or bleed this is not good. If a flat mole suddenly becomes raised or if the mole becomes itchy or painful these are all symptoms that need to be addressed ASAP. Anything that may indicate a melanoma needs to be seen by a doctor. Melanoma can quickly metastasize and once it does, it will spread to the internal organs. When this happens, the chance of a cure are dramatically decreased. The thicker a melanoma gets the more likely it is that it has spread.
You are the best weapon you have against skin cancer. Stay away from the sun without sun-block and check your skin as often as possible. It is quick and simple and can save your life.


Pancreatic Cancer UK funds world-leading research at the cutting-edge of science. We fund research through a number of approaches.
Over the last decade, less than one percent of UK cancer research spend has been directed towards pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer needs bold investment to transform the future and to deliver the step change that can alter the outcome for those diagnosed with this devastating disease.
We are taking this challenge on. We are targeting this underfunding through funding schemes that support pioneering and innovative research. We are incredibly excited about the potential of our research programme now and in the future.


Preschool Director Caught Threatening 4-Year-Olds With A Knife | GigiOnThat!
Adetokunbo O. Akinnaso, 64, of Sicklerville, Camden County, is charged with two counts of cruelty or neglect of children, a fourth-degree offense, according to the Union County Prosecutor's Office.
Akinnaso was arrested this week after she was caught brandishing a knife and threatening to harm two toddler students who were taken to her office for disciplinary reasons. Akinnaso threatened to hurt them if they kept on misbehaving.
Neither child was injured in the incident but Akinnaso surrendered to authorities on Tuesday. The school administrator was charged with two counts of cruelty or neglect of children, a fourth-degree offense, according to prosecutors. She could face up to 18 months in state prison.
Akinnaso was immediately removed and will not be returning to the school, Plainfield Interim Superintendent of Schools Ronald Bolandi told MyCentralJersey.com.
"This requirement was necessary in order for the owner [of the pre-school] to continue her contract with the district," Bolandi said.

This preliminary phase includes some necessary activities to plan a digitisation campaign including technical, administrative and organisational planning.
Amongst other activities the choice of the technology to be used is important as this may influence the permissions to be obtained for data acquisition (for example, short-range 3D scanning usually requires scaffolding). Many different technologies exist and have reached a sufficient level of stability and effectiveness to be used in standard digitisation campaigns (short-range scanning based on triangulation, long-range scanning based on time-of-flight, images-to-3D reconstruction based on different incarnations of stereo-matching and photogrammetry, down to several different modalities for gathering enhanced 2D media, such as Polynomial Texture Maps (PTM) or very large panoramic image).
Administrative and organizational planning also forms an important part of this stage.
Complete three-dimensional (3D) recording of cultural content (objects, monuments, etc), is a multi-dimensional process which depends on the nature of the object being recorded and the purpose of the recording.
The aim of this work is to perform evaluation tests on specific parts of the 3D data collection and 3D data post-processing pipeline that will be set in use in order to prepare the 3D content by the partners. The evaluation is based on the implementation of five 3D digitisation case studies followed by a critical assessment and analysis of important properties and key factors of each 3D digitisation project. A number of key 3D digitisation methodologies are applied in each case study and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in detail.
This report composes a set of guidelines that provide vital information when designing a 3D digitisation plan.
