The 3rd Continental Artillery Regiment also known as Crane's Continental Artillery Regiment became part of the Continental Army on January 1, 1777 as Colonel John Crane's Continental Artillery Regiment. The regiment was made up of 12 artillery companies from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including some companies that had served in Henry Knox's Continental Artillery Regiment. The regiment served with George Washington's main army. Three artillery companies in Ebenezer Stevens' Provisional Artillery Battalion had a separate existence in the Northern Department until the end of 1778 when they rejoined the regiment.
On 10 August 1779 the unit was redesignated the 3rd Continental Artillery Regiment. The regiment was reorganized with 10 companies on 1 January 1781 after the transfer of several companies to another artillery regiment. The unit was reassigned to the Highlands Department in August 1782. The regiment was rebuilt on a four company establishment in June 1783. The 3rd Artillery was disbanded on 1 January 1784 at West Point, New York.

On 10 August 1779 the four artillery regiments were numbered. Two boards of generals determined that neither John Lamb's Continental Artillery Regiment nor Crane's Regiment could trace their lineage to Knox's Continental Artillery Regiment. Therefore, Charles Harrison's Continental Artillery Regiment was named the 1st Continental Artillery Regiment. Lamb and Crane drew lots and Lamb's regiment became the 2nd Continental Artillery Regiment while Crane's regiment was renamed the 3rd Continental Artillery Regiment. Being the last regiment to enter the Continental Army, Thomas Proctor's Continental Artillery Regiment was numbered the 4th Continental Artillery Regiment.[1]
Washington's artillery chief, Henry Knox wanted to have four 3-pound or 6-pound cannons attached to each infantry brigade. Knox preferred the handier French 4-pound cannon, he had to give up his plan to adopt it because too much ammunition and equipment for the 3- and 6-pound guns were still available. Knox created an artillery park of two 24-pound cannons, four 12-pound cannons, four 8-inch howitzers, eight 5.5-inch howitzers, and 10 smaller field guns. Rotating between the infantry brigades, the artillery park, and garrisons, the artillery companies with the main army received training in these various areas. Knox's tactical doctrine required his gunners to direct their fire on infantry targets and avoid artillery duels. This tactic proved highly effective at the Battle of Monmouth.[2]

Home » Health Care » How Can A Vet Tell If Your Pet Is Sick?
If our pets could tell us how they feel by speaking to us, life with them would be much easier. We would know exactly when our pets weren't feeling well and when to take them to a vet in Columbus Ohio. But since they can't speak for themselves, they show signs and symptoms that pet owners need to be aware of. If your pet is usually active and playful with a big appetite but is suddenly sleeping a lot and not eating their food, this could be a sign that something is wrong.
When you take your pet to a vet in Columbus Ohio, they will get an examination from the vet to help figure out what the problem may be and to check on their overall health. First, the vet will take your pet's temperature and listen to their heart and lungs for irregular beats or wheezing sounds. They will also check inside your pet's mouth to see if there are any dental problems like abscessed teeth. They also often look inside your pet's ears to for signs of infections. If the vet is still not sure what is going on with your pet, additional tests may be necessary to diagnose the condition.
If you have just adopted a brand new puppy or kitten, it will need vaccinations if it hasn't already had any. Vaccinations help protect pets against diseases and illnesses that animals can sometimes pick up. The vet might also talk to you about getting your pet spayed or neutered. This is a procedure done in the office when your pet is a couple months old and it is important for so many reasons. Getting your pet spayed or neutered may actually help your pet to act more calm and well mannered. It also sometimes corrects unwanted behaviors such as spraying or "marking." But the most important reason why you should get your pet spayed or neutered is to help control the pet population. Unwanted dogs and cats at the animal shelter have to be put to sleep because there are too many animals and simply not enough people to adopt them. Getting your pet spayed or neutered can help with this problem.
If you are trying to find a vet in Columbus Ohio to take your pet to, you can start by doing a search on the internet. It's a good idea to find an animal hospital that is close to you where you live so that you don't have to drive your pet clear across town or to another city to see a vet. Some pets get anxious on long car rides.
Vet Columbus Ohio If you are trying to find a vet in Columbus Ohio to take your pet to, get in touch with Hillview Veterinary Clinic/Bed & Biscuit. They will provide exceptional veterinary care for you pet.

Russian mayor who took on Kremlin party jailed before elections
By By Andrew Osborn

By Andrew Osborn
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian court sentenced a former mayor and vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin's allies to 12 1/2 years in jail on Wednesday in a graft case the liberal opposition said was trumped up to end its fledgling success in the regions.
A court in Yaroslavl, 250 km (156 miles) northeast of Moscow, sentenced Yevgeny Urlashov to serve his term in a maximum security prison after finding him guilty of accepting a bribe and of trying to extort another.
Footage of the courtroom sentencing, broadcast by the Dozhd TV station, showed Urlashov, 49, saying he had been framed.
"Everything will be different soon," he shouted as he was led away by three uniformed men after hearing the sentence. "I have been tried for spitting in the face of United Russia. It's a political order."
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a Putin ally, is the chairman of United Russia which has dominated Russian elections for over a decade. The Kremlin denies using the judiciary for political ends.
The sentence, handed down at a time when Russia is grinding its way through a prolonged economic crisis, comes just over a month before nationwide parliamentary elections which United Russia is expected to win comfortably.

The margin of its victory is expected to be slimmer than recent years however with some polls showing apathy levels are high. There are also some signs of Kremlin nervousness; it carried out a reshuffle of regional leaders last week in areas where dissatisfaction with living standards is above average.
Urlashov, who left United Russia after becoming disenchanted with it, beat the Kremlin's candidate to become mayor of Yaroslavl in 2012 in what was seen as an important symbolic victory for the opposition after a series of large protests in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Just over a year later, in July 2013, Urlashov, who had campaigned on an anti-corruption platform, was dragged from his car late at night and accused of graft.
Shortly before his arrest, he had helped organize a rare protest meeting against United Russia where he had denounced the ruling party's monopoly on power, mocked it, and said he wanted to challenge it for the region's governorship.
"Urlashov was sentenced to 12 1/2 years for his attempt to take power away from the United Russia party in the regions," Vladimir Milov, a former Russian deputy energy minister who is now an opposition campaigner, wrote in a blog on the Ekho Moskvy radio station's website.
"There was not a single shred of evidence against him."
The two men who accused Urlashov of offering to bribe them were both local politicians who at the time were representing United Russia.
Urlashov's lawyer said she would appeal the sentence.

I'm sorry, guys, I just can't get enough of Beanie Feldstein. Every time she opens her mouth I just fall more and more in love with her and I don't really know what to do with all this love except share it with you, so here we are.
OK, that's all. I'll just be here waiting for the next Beanie update, thanks.


Home insurance is designed to protect you from the unexpected and understanding how you're covered can give you confidence in the coverage you pay for. But what's just as important is knowing what your home insurance doesn't cover. This way, you know how to better protect your home and determine your options for additional coverage if available.
Here's a look at what your basic home insurance policy doesn't cover, and your options for adding protection for those unexpected events.
Here are some more common instances where your home insurance doesn't offer protection. Read carefully, though, since there are some caveats.
When it comes to water damage and homeowners insurance, things can get a little tricky. But the important thing to remember is that your home insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage that results from things like a plumbing fixture failure or a burst pipe. It doesn't cover damages from slow water leaks that create hidden damage over time. It also doesn't cover the cost to replace the burst pipe, only the damage the released water caused.
The damage from small, slow leaks aren't covered because that's considered a maintenance issue. Find out more about homeowners insurance and burst pipes and plumbing.
Your home insurance doesn't cover mold damage that results from types of losses that aren't covered by the policy, such as flooding or high humidity. But most companies offer limited coverage if the mold is a result of a covered instance, like mold caused by the water used to extinguish a fire.
Termites may be small, but that doesn't stop them from causing some serious damage! Since a termite infestation is something that should be addressed through routine home maintenance, damage from termites isn't covered by your home insurance policy. So, it's important you're thorough about termite inspections and preventative care. And, if you're purchasing a home, don't sign the paperwork until you're sure termites are nowhere in sight.
Take a look at common events not covered by your home insurance policy. The good news is that all of these can be added to your homeowners policy — which is worth the price when you consider how much you could be paying out of pocket if you were to face damages.
While flooding isn't covered by a standard home insurance policy, you can add flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Even if you live in a low- to moderate-risk area, flooding can happen almost anywhere. Having this protection in place can help cover the cost to repair flood damage to your home's structure, as well as your personal property, like clothes, furniture, electronics and other possessions.
Most municipalities have rules about how a home can be repaired if it suffers significant damage. For example, in many communities, if a home is more than 50% damaged by a loss, the entire structure must be demolished. Many times, after a building is damaged by fire, local building codes will require that the homeowner replace battery powered smoke detectors with hard-wired smoke detectors (ones that are directly connected to your home's electrical system). These additional costs aren't covered by homeowners insurance unless building ordinance or law coverage is added. This coverage helps pay the cost of demolition and debris removal if your home has to be demolished, or additional costs from complying with current building codes that differ from those in place when your home was built.
A sump pump is designed to remove excess water that accumulates around your home's foundation, but if that system ever fails or the power goes out, water overflow may occur, which could result in damage to your property — and that damage isn't covered by your standard home insurance.
That's why adding sump pump overflow coverage is a good idea. It's designed to mitigate the cost of repairs caused if your sump overflows due to power failure or because it can't keep up with the volume of water coming in. So for damage caused by a malfunctioning or overwhelmed sump pump, you'll be covered when you have this add-on.
Water that backs up into your home through sewers and drains isn't covered by your standard home insurance either. If you're hooked up to city sewer, a backup can cause significant damage to your home.
Since earthquakes are considered earth movement, they're also not covered by homeowners insurance, but you can purchase earthquake coverage to add on to your policy. If you live in an earthquake-prone area, you'll have peace of mind knowing this coverage can help cover the cost of potential damage to your home and personal belongings, as well as provide additional living expenses if you need to live somewhere else while your home is being repaired.
Your smartest move to ensure you have the right coverages in place for your home is connecting with an American Family Insurance agent — they'll help you customize your coverage to match your needs. Get in touch today and find out how you can protect what matters most.


The advantage of leaving early for a short flight is that you get to spend almost the whole day at the destination. The disadvantage, of course is that not only do you have to actually fly (which messes me up no end and I hate it) but you compound it with having to wake up at an ungodly hour (which in my case messes me up even more if it is at all possible). All of this gives me really mixed feelings about it because while it does gain me one day to tour around it also makes it a less than stelar day so… I don't know, the jury is still out on this one.
So even though the weather was far better than I could have hopped for for this time of the year, today was a day of headaches and shivers which made me think my body was actively trying to not let me fall sick just yet. But then I may just be the flying and the waking up ridiculously early. I can only hope so, otherwise the rest of the stay will be a lot less enjoyable.
Anyway we did make the most of the day and since every store will probably be closed this weekend we decided to leave the parks and so on for the weekend and just tour the city streets today.
And so it was that we finally found where Whitard is (we lost track of it since last time we where in London and we couldn't find it in Covent Garden and assumed it had moved out from there. I could have sworn it was not there the last time…) and we got to buy lots and lots of teas and even some related utensils. So that was really cool.
Another great thing we got to do today was to visit the Apple store. Great store, very much like the one in the New York Soho (and almost all the others I guess), very big, very clean, very white, very trendy and filled with great (and great-looking) technology.
I finally got to handle a Photo iPod and it just proved me right in my opinion of it: anyone considering using it view their photos or to show them to their friends on that screen is just crazy. So it's only real use (for the photo part only, of course) is as an extremely portable slide-show machine with an easy interface to your TV. That way people can carry their thousands of photos over to their friends' and bore them to death with pictures of their vacation or their children, on their own TV, that much more easily. But it is just so horribly overpriced for that!
Hopefully tomorrow Tuxa will be in better shape so that we can go watch the new year's parade and hang around the gardens and so on. Then on sunday we are going to try and visit Oxford. I've never been there and would really like to get to know it.
Pub food is still great, Guiness is still the only beer I can ever enjoy, Starbucks has definitely got something to do with mushrooms since it continues to crop up just about everywhere and even though there are Internet cafés or bars with Internet access in virtually every corner of (this part of the) city I don't have any wireless hotspots accessible from my hotel room (at all, open or closed). I do have "high speed Internet access" in my room but at the rates they charge… I don't think so, I'm not that crazy! So this post will be made available at a later time.

Q: Calling 2 views from a single view depending upon which segment is chosen A bit of a confusion for me but I'm sure I'm making a very small mistake. Please guide me in the right direction.
Here is what the situation is.
I have a OneViewController which has 2 segments. The code for segment1 is already working as it is written in OneViewController(not a tableviewController but I want to display a tableView so manually written the code for it) because Segment1 is by default selected. And when I click on segment 2, I have to display another tableViewController(for which I have created a class called TwoTableViewController). And I want that both tableViews should appear in the same view (no pushing of new views). The most important thing is that the segmented control should never disappear.
I have also attached the relevant part of the code. I know I have asked a similar question before, but it was really confusion so I thought to start afresh. Hope I'm forgiven! :)
Here's the code:
 -(void)viewDidLoad
{
  //has the elements I want to display when I click on segment 1. since it is already selected , I have written it here
}
    -(IBAction) segmentedControlChanged
    {
         switch(segmentedControl.selectedSegmnentIndex)
         {
            case 0:
             //default first index selected.
             [tableView setHidden:NO];
             if(self.view viewWithTag==9999]{
              [[self.view viewWithTag:9999]removeFromSuperView];
                  }
              break;

             case 1:
             NewTableViewController *controller=[[NewTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NewTableViewController" bundle:nil];
             [controller.view setTag:9999];
             break;
             default:
             break;
         }
    }

NewTableViewController has separate methods and the datasource and delegate are set to TableView in the IB. All I want to do is call this NewTableViewController when I click on Segment2.

A: Better to populate and write the codes for  UITableViews in same class (in OneViewController)
You can identify the curresponding tableView through the below way
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{

     int numberOfSections = 0;

     if(tableView == yourTableViewOne){

           numberOfSections =  5;
       }

     else if (tableView == yourTableViewTwo){

          numberOfSections = return 3;
     }

  return numberOfSections;
}

Use the same check in all other UITableView delegates.

A: Add following code in Case 1: of your -(IBAction) segmentedControlChanged
[self.view addSubview:self.YourTableView];

A: //view1,view2 are uiviews not a view controllers-(IBAction) segmentedControlChanged

-(void)segcontrol
{
    if(segments.selectedSegmentIndex==0)
    {
      self.view=view1;

    }
    else
    {
        self.view=view2;
    }

}

A: You can show second view controller either by pushing it on a navigation controller OR by presenting modally OR use a tabbar controller instead of segmentedcontrol.
My piece of suggestion is
Declare a class which subclasses UIViewController. Add a segmentedControl at the bottom and a uitableview above it.
Whenever user clicks a segment, reload tableview with corresponding data. This way you can save memory. And you need not take the pain of removing/adding/hiding views ..

What is the single best piece of advice anyone ever gave you?
I once read Jean Cocteau say, in a Paris Review Interview, "It takes great courage to be original! The first time a thing appears it disconcerts everyone, the artist too. But you have to leave it-not retouch it. Of course you must then canonize the "bad." For the good is the familiar. The new arrives only by mischance. As Picasso says, it is a fault. And by sanctifying our faults we create."
What is the question most commonly asked by your readers? What is the answer?
With regards to this book, they ask how much is fiction and how much is fact, or which parts are fiction and which parts are fact, but I think the way we see our lives (in our imaginations) is of course a blend of fiction and fact, and the book is fiction and fact in the same measure as our lives are, to ourselves.
I have written since I was a child... there was never anything else, after the age of 15 or so, I wanted to do. But anyway, when I was writing The Middle Stories, I didn't know what I wanted to write about but I knew that I wanted to write. I figure the way to do it was just to write, even if I didn't know the "about," part, and that in time - maybe in ten years! - the "about" would come. A lot of people say the stories in The Middle Stories don't seem to be "about" anything, even if they have a lot of emotion and power. I was trying to turn myself into a "writing machine," so I wrote hundreds of stories at the time, just one after the other, without stopping. To make the book, I just picked the 30 best ones, but when I was writing, it was not with a book in sight. That came later, after McSweeney's published a few stories of mine; a publisher contacted me and wanted to see if I had more; if they could be made into a book. That happened in my life (a book) a lot sooner than I expected it would. I was twenty-four when it was published. Five years later I published my second book, and five years later my next three (the children's book, the essay collection with Misha, The Chairs Are Where the People Go and How Should a Person Be?)

Q: Delete rows from multiple tables in a database I want to delete some records from a table based on criteria in another table. How do you delete from one of those tables without removing the records in both table?
I am looking to delete a table which are joined with other tables and the query looks something like this.
DELETE  DeletingFromTable
FROM    DeletingFromTable
        INNER JOIN CriteriaTable ON DeletingFromTable.field_id = CriteriaTable.id
WHERE   CriteriaTable.criteria = "value" ;

A: Your question is not 100% clear on what your issue is, but this query will drop tables 1,2 and 3 at the same time:
DROP TABLE table1,table2,table3

A: You can only delete data from one table at a time.
To delete from multiple table
Write multiple queries separated by semicolon and execute it at onces like
delete from table1;
delete from table2;
delete from table3;

Or you can write the procedure to do this task.
Please check this thread as well
Drop multiple tables in one shot in mysql

A: This should work:
DELETE DeleteFromTable FROM DeleteFromTable AS DT
JOIN CriteriaFromTable AS CT ON DT.SomeId = CT.SomeId
WHERE  CT.SomeId=[value]

A: You can just write a query to DROP the tables like so:
DROP TABLE [TABLE_1]
DROP TABLE [TABLE_2]
DROP TABLE [TABLE_3]

Depending on the tables and any constraints you may have between them, you will need to DROP the tables in the correct order.
If you right click any table (depending on SQL version), you should be able to 'View Dependencies'. If the 3 tables you are planning to DROP are only dependant on each other, you need to DROP the tables with no child dependencies first to avoid it failing.
For example, if you try to delete a parent table where it's primary key is referenced in a child table as a foreign key, the DROP will fail because of this. So deleting the child table with the foreign key first will allow you to subsequently DROP the parent table.
If however, the tables have other dependencies outside the tables you are deleting, you will need to remove the dependencies before this will work.

A: You can use:
DELETE FROM TableName

Which will remove all the data, but if you have any seeded columns, these will not be reset.  If you want to DELETE data and reset the seeding of PK's, then use TRUNCATE...
TRUNCATE TABLE TableName

But, you need to consider whether you have other tables that have referential integrity, if this is the case, see this post here SQL Server: How to ignore referential integrity until COMMIT?
EDIT:
Your comment above...

delete query like this DELETE FROM table_name WHERE
  some_column=some_value;

...suggests you are looking to delete specific rows?

Young Adult Conference in Long Beach an Overwhelming Success
By Kristen Bruskas (Director of Development and Communications – Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco)
"Let me start by telling you, without any doubt, uncertainty or hesitation: I am here to stand by you, to laugh with you, to cry with you, and to serve with you! I have a yearning to see your generation advance the Church. Your generation is special! You have an innate desire to lift each other up – this is what our world needs now!" It was with these powerful words that His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America greeted the participants of the 2019 Young Adult League Conference following the Agiasmos Service on Friday, August 30, 2019 in Long Beach, CA.

"Proclaim" was the theme of the conference held from August 29 – September 1 at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach. This theme was incorporated into all aspects of the weekend filled with faith and fellowship amongst Orthodox young adults. While this was planned to initially be a Metropolis event, it quickly grew to attract 357 registrants from 33 states and 127 parishes across the Archdiocese. Conference Chairman George Anagnostopoulos led a team of 54 young adults to plan and implement this event to put YAL back on the map!

In his welcome remarks, Metropolitan Gerasimos quoted from the poem Ithaca, by renowned poet Constantine Cavafy, relating the passage of the future as glowing candles, to the young adults, stating, "This is how I see all of you – the future in front of me, shining like candles, shining with the love of the Lord in your hearts. What better way to create a legacy of leadership for our church than to cultivate the best and brightest of our young adults."

The Keynote Address presented by five-time Daytime Emmy® Award winning actor and devoted Orthodox Christian Jonathan Jackson focused on the conference theme, "Proclaim". In his remarks, Jackson shared a very personal message about proclaiming Christ in a secular world. He spoke about proclaiming the Mystery of Christ through silence, humility and prayer. He also spoke about the tension of Grace and Truth as the presence of the Cross in the world, noting that if we lose either of these realities, we no longer have the Cross, we no longer have Christianity. This void, as we have seen throughout history, will be replaced by religious fundamentalist or secular progressive ideologies. The Royal Path of Orthodoxy is the tension of Grace and Truth present in the world through the Holy Spirit and the faithful proclamation of the Gospel by the Church.
Workshops were presented throughout the weekend, which allowed the attendees to actively engage in dialogue about topics relevant to their lives, addressing topics including: Balancing Humility with Career Progress as an Orthodox Christian; Proclaiming the Mystery of Christ in an Apathetic World; Not On Our Own Terms: Letting the Kingdom of God Come Into our Life and Transform Us; Broken, Wounded . . . and Perfect! Christ's Perfection Amidst Our Broken Nature; Created for Connection; and Rediscovering Relationship: How the Church Calls Us Back After Falling Away.

While the young adults enjoyed Friday afternoon at the beach, Archbishop Elpidophoros met with the clergy from the area. This provided a forum for the priests to share information on their parish ministries, while benefiting from hearing firsthand from Archbishop Elpidophoros about the priorities he has established for his archpastoral ministry.

Jonathan Jackson was the featured performer for a Friday night concert, performing his original music, filled with uplifting lyrics and soulful vocals. Additional performers from the YAL Conference included Nick Settelmeyer, Nia Matty, and DJ Andie Roy.
An open forum on Relationships was featured at the Saturday breakfast with Jonathan and Elisa Jackson, facilitated by Metropolis Family Wellness Ministry Director, George Papageorge. They shared their journey to the Orthodox faith and the development of their personal relationship, and how their shared faith in God brought forth their love for each other and became the foundation for their marriage, and raising their family as devoted Orthodox Christians.
Young adults had the opportunity to address Archbishop Elpidophoros directly in a Question and Answer session following Saturday's luncheon. He was direct and engaging with the thoughtful questions brought forth, among which were: the role of women in the Church, the relationship with the Armenian Church, and the growing use of English in worship.
Giving back to others was another way that the YAL Conference participants exemplified the theme "Proclaim", and this was done through a group Diakonia project on Saturday afternoon. Working with the non-profit Rise Against Hunger, young adults packaged 10,125 meals in under 90 minutes which will be distributed to people in Southeast Asia who are in desperate need. Prior to the Conference, YAL members also raised funds through smaller events at their local parishes, which resulted in $3,000 being raised for the International Orthodox Christians Charities. Both of these were excellent opportunities for team building, serving others, and looking beyond ourselves to those in need.
Hon. Steven and Stacia Counelis, YAL Conference Advisors, addressed the crowd at the Grand Banquet by proclaiming, "Keep alive the spirit that you are experiencing this weekend!
You and your generation have many challenges before you in keeping your faith vibrant.
Bring together your friends and tell your priest you want to do the same thing we are doing here this weekend – worshipping together, witnessing your faith together, serving others together, and creating community together. What we are talking about is evangelizing – sharing the good news. Let's also call it commitment. So if you pray enough, you dream enough, you plan enough, and you work hard enough, you will be able to write an amazing life story in real time that will be filled with faith and service, inspiring and motivating those around you to offer their God given gifts back to our Father in Heaven."
In special recognition of the visit of Archbishop Elpidophoros to the YAL Conference, he was presented with a hand crafted episcopal staff, upon which three images are depicted: the Golden Gate of Constantinople, the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, and the Cross of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
In his Keynote Address at the Grand Banquet, Archbishop Elpidophoros stated, "As you depart from this blessed gathering, you will have discussed many marvelous thoughts and goals. It is not enough, though, to remember these ideas as intellectual concepts only. The point of proclaiming these truths here today is for you to enter more fully into the sacramental life from this day forward; and to do so with greater reverence for God, with faith and love." The presence of Archbishop Elpidophoros throughout the Conference weekend and his positive interaction at all of the events was a true blessing for all the participants.
Sunday's Divine Liturgy was prayed at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Long Beach. Following the service, the community offered exceptional hospitality to the young adults at the parish Greek Festival.
The weekend festivities came to conclusion aboard the historic Queen Mary for a "white out" dinner and dance. The bonds of friendship formed during the weekend were evident by the embraces and tears shared as people prepared to say farewell. While this may have been the last evening of the Conference, it was evident to all involved that this is just the beginning of a new and expanded Young Adult ministry for the Metropolis of San Francisco, that will continue to be cultivated and expanded.
Conference chairman George Anagnostopoulos encapsulated the success of the weekend by saying, "I hope this weekend is everything you envisioned and more; that you leave here feeling spiritually fulfilled and socially connected. I want you to never forget there is always a place for you in the church, that you are not alone and that you now have this YAL Family, lifelong and nationwide to guide you, stand with you and be with you as we journey through life together. You are a part of a movement in which the resurgence of this ministry is strong and growing rapidly."
Plans are already underway for the 2020 Metropolis of San Francisco YAL Conference over Labor Day Weekend. Stay tuned for more details on the location and how you can be involved on the leadership team to grow this important ministry!

The Left's Spring Offensive
The Soros machine gears up to train the next wave of economic terrorists.
April 16, 2012 by Matthew Vadum Leave a Comment
[](/sites/default/files/uploads/2012/04/uc-occupations-3.gif)Communist Van Jones and MoveOn have begun training up to 100,000 activists across the nation in the fine art of terrorizing corporations and the general public in order to force change that the American people don't want.
The activists plan to disrupt shareholder meetings of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and 30 other large corporations. They also plan to conduct "actions" against education lender Sallie Mae and businesses they accuse of profiting from student indebtedness. Their strategy is remarkably similar to the subversive plan pushed by SEIU's Stephen Lerner that aims to destroy the nation's financial system.
Their first multi-day training session in allegedly nonviolent direct action tactics began on April 9 and took place in hundreds of locations across the country. This "Spring Training" is named after the Arab Spring of 2011 in which popular revolts ousted various leaders in the Middle East and cleared the way for Islamofascists to take over.
Although the 100,000 figure provided by organizers from MoveOn and Jones's Rebuild the Dream organization is no doubt a gross exaggeration, the training already appears to be paying off.
Supposedly nonviolent Occupy Wall Street activists attacked police and a Starbucks coffee shop in lower Manhattan on April 14. In a bitter taste of things to come, using 8-foot-long metal pipes and bottles as weapons the anarchists and communists dressed in black terrorized coffee drinkers at the Astor Place outlet. Three protesters were reportedly arrested. Charges ranged from inciting to riot, assault, and disorderly conduct.
The Spring Training is endorsed by three ACORN-related organizations: the Working Families Party, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE). As I explain in my book, Subversion Inc: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, WFP is ACORN's political party and ACCE and MORE are rebranded ACORN state organizations.
The training session is also endorsed by small-c communist Heather Booth's Midwest Academy and by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. Iowa CCI is the Marxist group whose members screamed at Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney at the Iowa State Fair last August. (The group is part of a larger Saul Alinsky-inspired organizing network called National People's Action.)
Jones long ago tired of the democratic process. He favors using brutal in-your-face tactics to bring down American capitalism yet claims to embrace Gandhi's nonviolent political action. (Of course with the Left there is virtually no such thing as nonviolent protest. Nonetheless, progressive leaders often pretend to be opposed to violent tactics.)
"You cannot change this country from D.C. down. It's got to be bottom up and top down and the bottom up has been missing," Jones said on MSNBC.
Until this past fall, you got the young people with 350.org who broke the seal and said we are going to do civil disobedience against the Obama White House. Everybody goes, "Oh no! This can't happen! You'll be destroyed!" And instead what happened is they got a big victory on [the] Keystone [pipeline]. They gotta fight to keep it. And then –that was August– and then September the young people and struggling folks who founded Occupy Wall Street and they changed the actual conversation overnight from austerity, austerity to economic inequality. This stuff works.
Unfortunately, Jones is right about one thing. Thanks to Occupy Wall Street even many conservatives now mindlessly repeat the false Marxist dichotomy that pits the "1 percent" against the "99 percent." How much money people have –as opposed to how much money they earn as income— seems to have become a public issue that candidates from both major parties feel compelled to address.
MoveOn's history is well documented but Jones's Rebuild the Dream organization is new on the political scene. (Rebuild the Dream also just happens to be name of his new book.)
Rebuild the Dream is a 501c4 nonprofit and contributions to it are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to its sister charity, Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund, a 501c3 nonprofit, are tax-deductible. It is unclear who is funding these two San Francisco-based groups.
The Fund uses the Oakland, California-based Movement Strategy Center as a fiscal sponsor. A fiscal sponsor covers its administrative costs by shaving a few percentage points off donations earmarked for a charity and then hands over the remainder to the charity. The Center, in turn, has taken in funds from the usual suspects in the world of leftist philanthropy including: George Soros's Open Society Institute ($800,000 since 2006) and his Foundation to Promote Open Society ($150,000 in 2009); Tides Foundation ($770,000 since 2001); Ben & Jerry's Foundation ($30,000 since 2009); Ford Foundation ($1,555,000 since 2004); Surdna Foundation Inc. ($1,140,000 since 2003); and Rockefeller Brothers Fund Inc. ($248,000 since 2004).
With media-savvy Jones's charisma, it's just a matter of time before he begins to tap into the vast reservoirs of tax-free foundation money earmarked for the destruction of America as we know it.

…to beautiful Mother City. As you probably all know, I was in Cape Town for quite a long time. And I totally fell in love with this beautiful city and the special lifestyle and vibe there. It's just so amazing and wonderful. The combination of a vibrant city and the peaceful and calm nature. The impressive mountains and the beautiful beaches.

Bill Traylor
Walnettos Figures Construction, 1939
poster paint on cardboard
Without doubt, Traylor, who worked his whole life, viewed his drawing activity as a type of handicraft; Shannon's [Charles Shannon, who befriended Traylor in 1939] observation that Traylor gradually came to believe he was working for him confirms this. On a fence behind his "workplace" on the open street he strung up his drawings to sell them to passers-by. "Sometimes they buys 'em when they don't even need 'em," he said to Shannon amused.[1] The statement indicates that he had no conception of the "autonomous work of art." When Shannon was asked once whether Traylor knew that he [Shannon] was an artist, he replied: "I really don't know. I don't remember telling him that I was."[2] Shannon certainly assumed that Traylor was unable to understand the notion of identifying oneself as an artist. Indeed, he seems to have attempted to guard him against such thoughts.[3]...
By definition, "folk art" serves the needs of everyday life, and surely Traylor understood his drawings in this sense. For the most part the customs, traditions, practices and habits of African Americans determine the nature of his drawings; and the expressiveness of their songs, dances and stories is rendered pictorially in Traylor's work. In like manner his work can be placed within the realm of naive art, in so far as pictorial conception and reality become one: like children or tribal people, Traylor does not differentiate between image and lived experience. In his work there does not appear to be any taking issue, searching for meaning, questioning or problem solving; instead he "only" depicts what he has experienced, seen and heard, with unabashed high spirits and zest for living. The sincerity, unaffectedness and authenticity with which he does this are, of course, exactly the characteristics which the modernist artists could only emulate in their own works.

[3] According to Cameron (Dan Cameron, "History and Bill Traylor" in Arts Magazine 60, no. 2, 1985, p. 46), Shannon "intentionally shielded" him ("for fear of breaking the spell").

Change the name of the file from "Global Module.txt" to, say, b1god.f90. There seem to be two lines containing "ENDIF" that should have been present after line 185 but are lost.
As you were advised earlier, use a unit number such as 11 instead of 1 for the input and output files.

At least they result from our experience as engineers working in France, and so perhaps they are of value to others who are about to work there.

Drama teacher is a bit of a Shakespearean hero
Drama hero Kit Savage (54408550)
A Cornish lecturer who opened a student's eyes to the wonders of Shakespeare has received a Hero Teacher Award.
Kit Savage, a Truro College drama lecturer, was nominated by an ex-student for her engaging drama lectures.
"Kit opened up a whole new way of looking at Shakespeare for me; she taught me how to dissect the text, find different layers of comedy and tone lying beneath the words and really inspired me to work harder at my own personal development," said Rose Robinson, who nominated Kit.
Rose left Truro College in 2013 after completing her A Levels and she's now at Aberystwyth University studying Drama and Theatre Studies.
Aberystwyth University gave their students the chance to nominate their most influential and supportive lecturer as the students made their journey through to university.
"I am obviously very proud but I was also very surprised, it is very touching to know that sometimes you can have this sort of impact upon a student. It is why I became a teacher," said Kit.
Rose said: "I believe that were it not for my two years being taught by Kit I would not be as confident a performer, or person, as I am now. She has had an impact on the kind of theatre maker I want to be."
Kit added: "I love teaching drama because it involves getting to know the students as people. We don't just teach them the answers – there are no right answers – we teach them to think, to harness their creativity into effective theatre making."
The Hero Teacher Awards were held at the university where Kit received a certificate and a commemorative mug. The student-led awards began in 2014 and will continue this year.

Ashley Roberts Goes Barefoot In High-Waisted Jeans For 'Lockdown FaceTime Shoot'
Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images
Fabio Magnocavallo
Ashley Roberts, one-fifth of the successful girl group, The Pussycat Dolls, took to Instagram to update fans with a couple of new photos of herself during quarantine. The 38-year-old is no stranger to showing off her outfits via the platform, and she didn't disappoint with her most recent post.
The "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" hitmaker stunned in a sleeveless white top that showcased a hint of her decolletage. She paired the ensemble with high-waisted light blue denim jeans with frayed hems, and she was barefoot for the occasion.
Roberts accessorized with a couple of necklaces and styled her shoulder-length straight hair down. The singer held onto a glass of wine and appeared to be sporting a natural makeup look that included eyeliner and mascara.
Roberts included two images in the post.
In the first shot, she was captured sitting on a wooden floor in front of a plain white wall. The entertainer raised her right leg and rested her elbow on her knee. Roberts touched her face with her right hand and displayed her profile by looking over to the side.
In the next slide, she was snapped in the same position but tilted her head to the right and looked directly at the camera lens.
Roberts didn't add a geotag with her upload. However, in her caption, she explained these photos were taken at home by photographer Thomas Wood via FaceTime.

A young bed bug, is known as a nymph, they are see-through in color and changes into a red color after feeding. To achieve adulthood, a nymph bed bug must shed its skin approximately 5 times. A normal female can lay 5 to 7 eggs a week and will produce around 500 eggs throughout its life-span of Twelve months to 18 months. The eggs will hatch-out within just 6 to 17 days when they become known as nymphs. Bed Bug eggs are resistant to pesticides or herbicides.

They love to attack at night and they will remain active right up until prior to daybreak. Bedbugs bite exposed skin of a individual sleeping in an infested bed and then leave reddish colored itchy dots. They don't wander away from sleeping and relaxing areas nevertheless they are able to travel over 100 feet at night time to look for food. Bedbugs were once terminated in America but they're making a comeback by making use of international travelers. The most common places to discover them are hotel rooms and condominium buildings.

EXCITING TIME AHEAD FOR DUNOON PIER.
You may remember at the beginning of the month reading in the Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard that the Argyll and Bute Council had invited the Dunoon Pier Community Trust to form an advisory partnership group .In a follow up to that news it has been confirmed in this weeks Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard (Friday 17th July) that the trust has responded to the councils invitation welcoming the council working in partnership with the trust.
We are looking forward to someone on behalf of the trust coming into the Dunoon Community Radio studio to speak to the listeners, in the meantime Jim MacLean on behalf of the trust has sent us the official statement for our listeners and would also like to remind everyone that If anyone wishes to proffer any ideas prior to a public engagement meeting or has any views they might wish to communicate to the Trust in regard to the future of the pier or might wish to be involved in some manner in the future, then in the first instance please contact him by email at jim@dunoon-observer.com
"The Dunoon Pier Community Trust welcomes Argyll & Bute's recently stated commitment to its working with the Trust in partnership, to ensure the future well-being of Dunoon's historic pier.
"The Trust is committed to ensuring the longevity of the pier and to investigating ways of preserving, utilising and renovating the pier and its immediate area, supporting sympathetic development and promoting the renaissance of the area.
"It is hoped that the pier can again become an attraction as the gateway into Dunoon, Cowal and the wider Argyll area, encouraging visitors to come to the town, which in itself will help boost the local economy. Restoring the historic and iconic pier and its buildings will give a sense of purpose and pride in the community and will lend itself to future investment and employment prospects.
"The Trust will endeavour to promote the pier for recreational purposes and as a community and heritage building for the general use and benefit of all the inhabitants of and visitors to the town and surrounding area and as a sustainable and vibrant addition to the economic future of Dunoon and the wider area.

One on One: Grealish on his Aston Villa hero, who Abraham reminds him of, school reports and low socks
New and improved matchday draw website launched
Jack Grealish is the latest player in the spotlight as he takes part in our 'One on One' interview feature series.
His answers are below.
First Villa hero?
It's got to be Benito Carbone.
I loved that guy and I loved the way he played. He's one of the very first players I remember when I was a kid getting into football.
He scored a hat-trick in an FA Cup game against Leeds back in the day and I remember the one goal so vividly – he smashed it in from what felt like miles out. It was a brilliant strike.
It's no surprise that Benito was my first hero - like him, I enjoy exciting the crowd.
You always look at people who are similar to you, like Benito I'm a forward – and I suppose you model yourself on them, too.
Best player you've played with and against?
I'm going to go with Christian Benteke.
He was so, so good when he was here. He was phenomenal.
His feet were unbelievable. He was technically gifted for a big guy. I think he's quite similar to Tammy Abraham in that respect.
He was a gentle giant too, such a nice guy.
The best player I've played against is Wayne Rooney.
He was incredible in his prime. I admired his work-rate. He always put the team first. You saw him tracking back, helping out all over the pitch.
There's the clip from when he moved to the USA where he won the ball back deep in his half and then set up the winning goal – that sums up Wayne.
How impressed were you with England in the World Cup – and how much a target to get into the Three Lions first team?
I thought we were unbelievable over in Russia.
Getting to the semi-finals was a very good achievement – no-one expected it.
My two friends Demarai Gray and Ben Chilwell have only just been called up and hopefully one day that can be me – hopefully soon.I'd love to play in a World Cup for England.
The first one I can remember was 2002 in Korea and Japan. I was watching that at school.
Obviously I can't remember too much because I was only young but I do remember school came to a standstill for a couple of hours because of the early kick-offs. They let us watch in the school hall.
What are Gareth Southgate's best traits?
I'd say the confidence he gives to his players.
When I played under him, he used to tell me to go out there and play with no fear – believe in yourself.
Tell us how you found out you were in the squad for the Chelsea game in 2012?
It was a strange one, actually.
I was upstairs at the Training Ground. I'd come out of school early. I did that when I was in Year 10 and 11. I had one to one tutoring.
I was in class and Kevin MacDonald came in and told me I was in a meeting and said 'you're involved in the game tomorrow against Chelsea.' It was funny because the U18s were also playing Chelsea that weekend.
So it confused me a bit in that split-second. I thought 'does he mean the U18s or the First Team?'
To be fair, playing for the U18s was a massive thing for me back then because I was only 16 at the time.
To get the call-up to the First Team was just incredible.
Tell us about your low socks and small shinpads?
Obviously your socks are supposed to go above your calves.
But one year when I was here, the socks once shrunk in the wash. So they wouldn't go higher.
That season, I ended up playing really well. So it became a superstitious thing for me. I thought 'I'm going to keep doing this because I've done well'.
A lot of people say that it's because of George Best. While I love him and admire so much what he did, that isn't the reason.
What do you expect from Tammy Abraham this season?
As I said, he reminds me of Christian Benteke because he's just so good with his feet.
A lot of Villa fans probably remember watching him when he was last in the Championship because he was at Bristol City and scored about 20+ goals.
Considering how young he was at the time and the amount he scored, I thought that was very impressive.
Now he's older, he's a better player. He's played in the Premier League. He's played for England.
I'm sure the fans will love him. The lads already know how much of an asset he will be – he really is that good.
What did your school report say about you?
Probably that I wasn't the best!
I was well behaved. But, like any sportsman, I longed for PE and getting outside in break time to play football.
As soon as I found out Villa wanted to take me full-time, I was over the moon.
Influence of John Terry when he was here?
He was unbelievable for me, in all honesty.
JT helped me so much on and off the pitch.
To have someone like him alongside me – someone who has won everything there is to win – was very special.

Maya Zack invites visitors to immerse themselves in rich virtual environments in which she assembles fragments of individual and collective memory. In Zack's installation The Shabbat Room, now part of the Jewish Museum of Vienna's new permanent exhibition, the artist reinterprets and revives a work by Viennese Jewish painter Isidor Kaufmann who, in 1899, created for the same museum a traveling installation on the subject of the Shabbat room, entitled Gute Stube. In 1938, the museum was shut down by the Gestapo and its collections confiscated, including Kaufmann's installation. Using computer-generated visualizations based on rare photographs which survived the war and which document the travels of the Gute Stube across various museums, Zack retraces the path of Kaufmann's work and its ultimate fate. In this journey back-through-time, she reveals elements of the Gute Stube that derive from the artist's studio itself and from his paintings, as well as the mystical roots of Shabbat with which it was imbued.

Family of Uber Accident Victim Sues for Wrongful Death
As ridesharing services remain popular in urban areas like San Francisco, there are Uber and Lyft drivers taking on new fares nearly everywhere you look. In the rush to secure their next passengers, however, many ridesharing service drivers may opt to take shortcuts and perform illegal road maneuvers.
That's exactly what happened on November 5th, 2018, when Uber driver Roberto Carlos Blandon Martinez made an illegal U-turn from the curb, crashing directly into motorcyclist Jessica Christie in the process. A 23-year-old UC Berkeley student and barista, Ms. Christie died within hours after the crash, having sustained multiple limb fractures and serious internal bleeding.
Prosecutors have already charged Mr. Martinez with vehicular manslaughter, but the grieving family of Ms. Christie has also decided to pursue a wrongful death claim against both the Uber driver and the company, hiring our Walnut Creek personal injury lawyer Andy Schwartz to represent them. By holding Mr. Martinez and Uber accountable for the accident that caused their daughter's death, it is our hope that the Christie family will be able to find some measure of peace after this tragedy.
Bringing a Wrongful Death Claim in California
In order to prove a wrongful death claim in this state, you must demonstrate that your loved one's death was primarily caused by the negligence and carelessness of another person, and that you suffered monetary damages along with your emotional pain and suffering. Under the California Code of Civil Procedure, surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children are the main individuals allowed to bring a wrongful death claim (377.60a). However, if the deceased individual had no "line of descent," their parents or siblings can also spearhead a lawsuit against the negligent parties, as Ms. Christie's family has done.
Additionally, California uses the doctrine of pure comparative negligence to determine fault in car accident cases. This means that the judge or jury will try to uncover what percentage of fault lies with each party, and award appropriate compensation based on that percentage. If the defendant was a reckless or distracted driver – like Mr. Martinez, who was clearly distracted when he took on a new Uber fare – they will be far more likely to receive a higher percentage of the fault.
Compassionate Counsel in Wrongful Death Cases
Given the tragic circumstances of this accident, it's easy to see how the Christie family could be entitled to maximum compensation under the law. At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, we're committed to pursuing full damages on behalf of grieving families, and we want to ensure they can find peace of mind during such a difficult and traumatic time. As leading counsel on this case, we're confident that our skilled firm partner and noted wrongful death attorney Andy Schwartz will be able to seek a fair result for the family.

ABSTRACT: We developed a conceptual model of reproductive resilience based on spatio-temporal diversity in spawning activity and the 'big old fat fecund female fish' effect, i.e., trends in reproductive traits with size and age. We chose red snapper Lutjanus campechanus as our case study, as this species is highly fecund, currently overfished, and long-lived (50+ yr). The intrinsic reproductive resilience of red snapper was assessed in terms of spawning site distribution, variability in time of spawning, and potential reproductive lifespan. To assess how age truncation might erode reproductive resilience, we evaluated the strength of the relationship between size and age and the following traits: spawning habitat, reproductive timing, batch fecundity, and egg quality. Few fish were older than 7 yr. Although younger fish occurred in a more restricted range of depths, there was no trend between size or age and depth. Spawning activity was well distributed over space and time, with actively spawning females collected at 92 of 195 sampling sites over an extended spawning season. Larger, older females exhibited longer spawning periods and higher batch fecundities, but neither greater spawning frequency nor egg dry weight. The ratio of the effective to predicted reproductive lifespan at maximum sustainable yield was 31%. Many parameters estimated in this study are common to fish reproductive studies, but we hope that integrating them into a reproductive resilience framework will help focus the need for research on the underlying relationships between reproductive traits and stock productivity.

Machine learning is a big topic. Before you can start to use it, you need to understand what it is, and what it is and isn't capable of. This course is part one of the module on machine learning. It starts with the basics, introducing you to AI and its history. We'll discuss the ethics of it, and talk about examples of currently existing AI. We'll cover data, statistics and variables, before moving onto notation and supervised learning.
Part two of this two-part series can be found here, and covers unsupervised learning, the theoretical basis for machine learning, model and linear regression, the semantic gap, and how we approximate the truth.
If you have any feedback relating to this course, please contact us at support@cloudacademy.com.
Right, so let's look at some supervised learning problems. Firstly within this field, recall, we have Xs. Our Y is our target and we usually only have one. So, now we have two, but usually one. X is our features. Features. That's the key. We need our words right here, don't we? Good. Features as you know, Y you can't predict. Now, when I use a Y without a hat, it means the historical stuff that we already know. So this is a bit weird, isn't it, saying well, there are things we know that we won't know at some point. So let's just disentangle that just a bit. In our historical data set we will have a column. You could call it Y and we'll have the column, you could call it X. But in the future, when we collect our data and look at our observations, we won't have Y. No, we won't know what you will rate the film. Before you've rated it, but we can look at historical ratings you've given and predict what your rating will be. So there's two notions of time in these problems, isn't it? In supervised learning there's two notions of time. Possibly in machine learning in general there might be a couple notions, but in certain supervised learning there's two notions of time. There's the time of training, the algorithm when you consider the historical data, the training data set and there's a time of prediction. Or some people call this maybe deployment. Some people might say it's testing time. There's different words here. But let's just call it prediction time. There's time when you're doing prediction and the prediction time you only know X. And the whole point of course is to be able to compute your guess for Y. So, you know, so you would have Y at that prediction time. You wouldn't know what the actual, true result would be Y. Right, so that's the sort of set up for supervised learning. And of course there's this F which relates the two together which allows us to determine a guess from what we know. Let's give you a couple of examples of different kinds of machine learning problem. Different color again, let's go for the first one which will be a regression problem. Now regression is defined by the thing we are trying to predict which is Y being a real number. So this is a bit of notation here. And we will probably have a bit more detailed look at notation in this course as well as some other courses you can use as resources if you struggle with mathematics or this a little. But for now, let me just describe what this notation here means. So that little E symbol you can read as saying "in". You go well, what does in mean? That capital R symbol stands in for all of the ordinary, real numbers. So the R means real and the real numbers are a little bit odd actually, but we'll not go into that too much. But what that means is that it's just sort of, it's gonna be minus a hundred point five or it's gonna be fifty three point two or some measure, basically, some measure. Some measurement. So a real number is a kind of number that you might sort of imagine like a thermometer would give you or some kind of measure. So a regression problem is one where the thing you're trying to predict is intuitively some kind of measurement of something. Now profit is an example. You know, film rating could be an example. Film rating out of ten. You might think well, if five point three is a prediction, two point one is a prediction. That would be a real number. To contrast that, what other kind of numbers are there, well there are discrete numbers. So there's regression. We'll come onto classification later in one, in just a moment. But in this example, the contrast here is the thing we're trying to predict is going to be in the set, for example, minus one plus one. So above in regression, the thing we're interested in, maybe this could be profit. It could be a real, genuine measure of the world like temperature or heart rate. Temperature, heart rate. It could even be a film rating. As long as we're happy that the rating's going to be five point three, one point one or something out of 10. Whereas below, well this could be film rating as well, but this is a different style of rating where essentially we have like and dislike or something. And the way that we are converting those two terms into something computable, something numeric is by saying like is minus one, dislike is plus one. So there's actually quite different kinds of problems. So it's a very simple distinction at the beginning. You know, is it sort of like a measurement or is it just an option kind of thing. Actually really changes the analysis quite a lot. Right, so in regression we have a real Y. And in classification we have a binary, well it doesn't have to be binary, but some kind of option or label or some discrete number. Right.

Columnmn's update was a month ago.
Awesome Geo dome, hail proof, always want one.
?!??! Pretty strange, I swear that I had answered columnmn days ago! May be I didn't push the "send" button and then I powered down the computer Whatever, JJ.au, thanks for pointing to this.
To build the beds they just layered it up. As the shapes are so different, it wasn't cost-effective to create a matrix for it, so they did it with layers.
But hey, my nearest neighbor is 3km far away, and I can listen music loud as hell, so not a bad deal!
That's what I meant - photo feed.
Please please let us know how the ammonia and other sensors go. I am chomping at the bit to get a monitoring system going but sadly I have to actually finish building the system so that I can monitor it.
hi there! Some new photos.
Everything was growing like crazy. Our fingerlings are supporting all that growth, and also, in two months since my last post, 2L os seaweed, because we're still really low in nutrients.
Sorry if I'm a bit excited with everything, we *never*expected such growth. It is really incredible for us We live in a continental weather (almost a desert), and never had that growth in anything.
Lettuces: These lettuces has about 34 days form seed. Incredible growth.
Cherimoya tree, taller than us!! About 1m growth in one month or so.
Big tomatoes! One of them weight 380g. We never achieved that weight in our home!
We also have a mango tree and an avocado tree. I have no photos of them, but they will come soon The avocado transplant was very hard for the avocado and it lost about 70% of the leaves. But one month later, we're observing the first small leaves growing again, yiihaaaaa!!
One more thing: cucumbers. They grow like crazy. With 3 cucumber plants we're getting about 10Kg of cucumbers each 3 days or so.
I'm still loving your system!
awesome system. Can you post some updates how it is working 1 year later?


The recent murders of two Honduran environmental activists, Berta Cáceres and Nelson García, have tipped the scales for two European development banks that finally announced they would suspend funding for projects in Honduras.
Cáceres, winner of the 2014 Goldman Environmental Prize and founder of the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations (COPINH), was killed on March 3. Another member of COPINH, Nelson García, was shot on his way home for lunch on March 15.
Cáceres had spent ten years protesting the construction of the Água Zarca hydroelectric project, which she believed would negatively impact the indigenous Lenca people, cutting off access to the river and threatening their livelihoods. García had spent the morning of the day he was killed assisting the Río Chiquito community dismantle their homes after being given an eviction notice by the government.
Simultaneously, another development bank called FinnFund has also announced the suspension of disbursements. Foreign Policy reports, however, that executive director Jaakko Kangasniemi still believes the local communities want Água Zarca to go ahead, which goes against what Cáceres and her COPINH members have said for many years.
It is a good sign that investors are finally paying attention to the horrific violence that continues to wrack environmental protestors in the country. Honduras is the most dangerous country in the world for environmental activists, with 101 people killed between 2010 and 2014. Hopefully these withdrawals will force the government to take action, rather than turning a blind eye to these murders and allowing them to be labeled as "isolated incidents," which nobody believes they are.
It's just terribly sad that Cáceres and García are not around to celebrate this achievement.
