From the February 1974 Issue Subscribe
EVERYBODY KNOWS LAST YEAR WASN'T the best of times; the only question is, was it the worst? Air conditioners at 78, heaters at 68, gasoline at 45 cents a gallon, steak at $3.50 a pound: with all that, how could times be good? On the other hand, there were no major scandals in state government, and the other good thing was…well, there was the time, uh…
After such a year, don't feel bad if you've been left out of these awards. The competition was stiff. The year began with Governor Briscoe's inauguration and ended with him still in office. While that is hard to top, we also saw 65,000 Texans stand and sing happy birthday to University of Texas' longhorn mascot, Bevo; John Connally called but not chosen; The LaGrange Chicken Ranch closed: Ms. Modine Gunch named Miss Vacant Lot of the Universe; and the first issue of this magazine.
Memories are indeed made of this, and we have tried to reward appropriately the people and events which stand out. It all goes to show why Texas is more than a state of the Union—it's a state of the mind. Hook 'em.

Yardsticks & Dreamscapes: Beyond Measurements in Arts, Health & Social Chan...
by Clive Parkinson
Tue, 10 September 2019
Manchester School of Art
Benzie Building, Room BZ 403
Did you know that some scientists estimate that the Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (or 5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms). But just how heavy is the population of Greater Manchester - and perhaps more importantly - how heavy do we feel, and why?
Facilitated by Clare Devaney and Clive Parkinson with guest contributions from our wider communities of interest, we are beginning a collective exploration of the current and future landscapes of culture, health and wellbeing practice across the city region. It will be a heady mix of research, practice and so much more!
This is an evening to explore our place and contribution to the arts, health and social change ecology of Greater Manchester and beginning with the journey from your work, your home or the places you sleep - everyone taking part in this event will be asked to capture elements of time, space and place in the spirit of shared collaborative adventure - on paper, on phones, in sound, in image, in words and in spirit.
Simon Buckley is a Salford-based artist and photographer whose current work explores architecture and the urban environment. Much of that work is done in the half light of dawn, including the major photographic project 'Not Quite Light' and "You Live With Us, We Live With You", a year-long collaboration with 5 Plus Architects. The 'Not Quite Light' project includes an award-winning annual festival exploring diverse aspects of urban culture and planning; themes also discussed at 'Floor 15', a regular 'salon' event hosted in Simon's 15th floor flat. Simon's August 2019 photograph "Rainstorm Deansgate" has met with widespread public and critical acclaim, attracting significant media interest and resulting in a 'viral' response on social media platforms.
Olie Martin is an artist, researcher, activist and founder of RIGD Media, a platform for citizen journalism and creative content. His ambient sound piece "Sounds of the Streets" captures the unique sounds of Manchester's urban sub-culture. The original piece was developed as part of the International Arts and Homelessness Festival, held in Manchester in 2018, and was featured as a keynote at the International Sonic Arts Forum 2019. Olie's current work includes a second ambient piece in the series, entitled "Suffocation of the Skies", which explores the sound and sky-prints of Manchester's intensive programme of construction and hyper-development.
We are absolutely delighted to be joined by Simon and Olie, who will share elements of their work with us and lead colleagues in interactive sound and visual exercises designed to explore new ways of sensing, perceiving, navigating and measuring the city, and the human urban experience.
We ask that everyone joining us for the session record sensory aspects of their journey to the venue, whether that be short sound recordings, photographs, words or poetry inspired by the experience - a combination of these things - or any other creative content and thinking that their journey generates.
Arrive any time after 17:00 for a 17:30 start and light refreshments.
This event is for people living, working or studying in Greater Manchester only. It's a MIAHSC Critical Research Collective event, it's free and we will have refreshments! So please only book if you really want to take part.

Q: Drag and drop item to trigger event I'm creating a website that contains also a section for downloading an ebook after payment. In order to make a nice user interface i would like to use an icon of the ebook and an icon of a shopping cart and allow the visitor to drag the icon of the ebook into the shopping cart in order to trigger an action that leads to the purchase of the ebook. I heard about the function draggable and droppable in Jquery UI  and about the Draggabilly javascript library. Can anybody suggest me other ways to achieve this or provide a proof of concept code?

A: You could use jquery ui draggable/droppable/sortable functionalities just like here:

A literary milestone- Patricia Grace's first novel in ten years. Uprooted from his privileged European life and sent to New Zealand to sort himself out, twenty-one-year-old Daniel pieces together the history of his Maori family. As his relatives revisit their past, Daniel learns of a remarkable... read more love story between his Maori grandmother Oriwia and his Japanese grandfather Chappy. The more Daniel hears about his deceased grandfather, the more intriguing i and elusive i Chappy becomes. In this touching portrayal of family life, acclaimed writer Patricia Grace explores racial intolerance, cross-cultural conflicts and the universal desire to belong. Spanning several decades and several continents and set against the backdrop of a changing New Zealand, Chappy is a compelling story of enduring love. Also available as an eBook.
After reading your review and hearing Patricia on Radio NZ to Catherine Ryan I really want to read it.


Have you ever experienced the same moment as someone, but what they saw, heard and felt was completely different?
Did they find it positive when you found it negative, or vice versa?
When something isn't how you imagine it to be, are you let down, disappointed, and frustrated?
Perception is how we understand or interpret something. Perspective is our attitude and view point on how we regard it.
How we perceive something is affected by how we think. Whether we see a situation as positive or negative depends on our perception of it. And that perception is set by our expectations and assumptions, which supply our perspective on any given subject.
As discussed in Reducing Expectations, we can change our perspective by not having a preconceived idea about how something is going to go, or desire a specific outcome.
Assumptions and expectations are fed by information either from previous situations - or hearing about them from others. Often how we expect something to be is not actually how it is. We can end up disappointed, disillusioned, even hurt and upset if it doesn't go as we thought it would.
To change that, we need to change our perspective. We need to realise we have a choice in how we see, hear, and view things.
It made me stop and think and realise that he wouldn't; his internal dialogue and relationship with my mother was different to mine, thus the content of my mother's dialogue would have had a different meaning. He would receive what she said in a totally different way.
My perception of her and the things she said depended on my history and relationship with her and affected my expectations from her, even giving another meaning to her words. In some ways I had already decided her meaning before she spoke, and my reaction was based off that rather than what she actually said.
Our perceptions are based off established ideas and thoughts we have about all the things around us. We learnt them from our parents, friends, teachers, work colleagues, newspapers, textbooks, television - everything has an input, but we can alter our view at any time.
And how we continue to filter that information and react to it is also a choice.
And this extends into the outside world. If we only focus on the negatives in the world and all the bad things that happen that is all we see, and our perception becomes negative. It doesn't mean bad things don't happen, but if we aren't seeing the good things, we aren't leaving room for them to filter in and bring a more balanced perspective on the world.
Without that balanced view we risk becoming overwhelmed, and this can lead to anxiety and depression, conditions which are fed by a mindset based on how we perceive things.
So how do we change it? By recognising that our perception of any given thing might not be how it actually is, or the same as another person's, thus realising that it is possible to see it differently. And if we want to change it we can - it's a choice.
It may not be possible with everything, but allowing the possibility makes us more flexible, and releases us from the potential shackles of a fixed mindset, opening us up to opportunities we might not have had before.
Ask yourself how you would like to perceive something: What do you want to experience? How do you want to feel? And what is stopping you from feeling this way?
Once we are able to understand that we have a choice we return a sense of power, which gives us a sense of control. We can return to an event or situation that we previously viewed as negative and experience it differently, through fresh eyes.

The 1983 Video Game Crash had plugged up the North American console industry, and it would take a pair of Italian plumbers to unclog the pipes and let the sales flow once again... Mamma Mia!
June 29, 2018 paleotronic History, Nintendo, Video Games 0
During 1983 a home console revolution started in Japan with the release of the Nintendo Famicom. Short for Family Computer, this new console was designed to take video games beyond the giant pixels and beeper sounds that they were known for at the time. To match the hardware, Nintendo brought over some of their best game designers to work on the project. Shigeru Miyamoto was one designer assigned to the Famicom, and it is here that he would create the games that would make him a household name.
Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo at this time, was a man who got what he wanted, and what he wanted was to replicate the Famicom's success in the West. He approached Atari, the current leader in the video game market, to strike up a deal. The agreement stipulated that the system would be labelled as an 'Atari' console in the US, and they would become the distributors, while Nintendo would create the hardware. Atari were also granted exclusive home publishing rights over the Nintendo library of games to go along with the hardware. The deal was all ready and was to be finalised at the 1983 Consumer Electronics Show.
The CES of 1983 saw a number of future failures, including the Odyssey Command Centre and the Coleco Adam computer. It was this latter system that upset Atari, as the computer was shown demonstrating a port of Donkey Kong. The Coleco Adam was capable of playing Colecovision games, but while that port featured a cut down version of Donkey Kong, containing only 3 levels, this new version of the game was alleged to be complete. Negotiations with Atari had hit a wall, but they were still talking to Nintendo.
Later that year Ray Kassar, the CEO of Atari was forced to resign over allegations of insider trading. James J Morgan became his successor, and under his tenure with the company Atari was split up and sold off, with the consumer division being sold to former Commodore CEO Jack Tramiel in 1984. In a move they would ultimately regret, Atari closed negotiations with Nintendo. Some commentators have noted that Atari were confident that their new 5200 console would repeat the success of the earlier 2600, but the video game market was starting to look a little shaky in the US. Eventually it would crash, and the video game industry was all but dead.
Unperturbed, Yamauchi continued with his plan, ordering his developers to redesign the system for the US audience. Video games had a bad reputation, but the home computer market was still successful. Nintendo were already working on a Famicom keyboard and BASIC programming language with Sharp and Hudsonsoft. All they had to do was to combine these elements and they would have a home computer.
Nintendo debuted their 'Advanced Video System' at the 1985 CES. Like other computers of this era the keyboard housed all of the main components. The system was shown with a tape drive, light gun and two controllers. While commentators at the time appeared to be intrigued, the overall reception towards the computer was poor. Commodore, Atari and Apple were the leaders in the home computing world at the time, and this small player from Japan would be hard pressed to make a dent in their sales.
American department store chains were not interested in selling video games and there was clearly no place for Nintendo in the home computer market, so Yamauchi had to consider his next move carefully. Department stores didn't want to sell video games, but they were more than happy to sell toys, and Nintendo had previously been successful in this area. Gunpei Yokoi, Nintendo's most successful toy designer, was tasked with creating a Famicom accessory in the guise of a toy.
Yokoi developed the Robotic Operating Buddy, known as R.O.B. This plastic pal was able to play games with children, but only through the Nintendo AVS. R.O.B. was Yamauchi's ticket into US department stores, and he was so confident that he shipped one hundred thousand units to New Jersey to be distributed to retailers. As well as being sold with a new accessory, the AVS had undergone a few more changes. Now known as the Nintendo Entertainment System, this American version of the Famicom was designed to look less like a computer or video game system and more like a VHS or Betamax player. Even with these changes retailers were dubious.
At the time Yamauchi's son-in-law, Minoru Arakawa, was in charge of the American arm of Nintendo, and he was already in a difficult position. Having felt responsible for the earlier failures to break the Famicom in the West, he went behind his father in law's back and assured retailers that they would be able to return any unsold NES systems and receive a full refund. There was no way they could lose. Yamauchi was incensed, but the strategy worked, and after successful sales in New York, Nintendo branched out into other markets. Success continued and the Nintendo Entertainment System was released nationally in 1986.
A victim of the the console's success was poor R.O.B. It was thanks to him that Nintendo were able to market their console in the US, though only two below average games were made that utilised him, and there were no plans for any more. Though the 'Deluxe Set' that carried R.O.B. was still made available for a while longer, Nintendo wanted to shift their focus to the Entertainment System itself. Miyamoto's Super Mario Bros had been released in Japan just prior to the launch of the NES, and though Yamauchi was far from impressed at the time the game took to develop, he was thrilled with the sales that were generated upon its release. Though the NES was selling pretty well in the US, he felt that bundling Super Mario Bros with the system could give it that final push it needed to make Nintendo a household name.
Nintendo of America were ordered to create new bundles containing two controllers, a light gun, and a cartridge containing Super Mario Bros, and Duck Hunt. Retailing at $130, this bundle went on to sell over 40 million units, and is a big part of Nintendo's success in the US. Though the Super Mario sequels were also bundled with the NES, their sales pale in comparison to this original set.
Nintendo's worldwide expansion saw the Nintendo Entertainment System hitting European and Australian shores. Initially interest in these countries wasn't as high as America, as the video game crash hadn't happened there, and it wasn't until the age of the Internet that many gamers would even be aware that there was a crash. While the Atari 2600 was successful in these regions, gamers tended to gravitate towards computers. In the schoolyard children split their allegiances between Commodore, Sinclair, Amstrad and Apple, with many parents buying the same brand of computers that the schools had.
In 1986 the Sega Master System was released in the US, but in a country dominated by Nintendo the console didn't reach a wide audience. The slow start Nintendo received in Europe and Australia gave Sega a better chance at success, and in several countries it outsold the NES by a considerable amount. Nintendo now had an arch nemesis, though their strict third party agreements saw many companies unable to legally create games for the Master System. On the flip side, Sega was very successful in the world of arcade games and many of these games were ported on to the Master System, but not the NES.
This birth of these console wars saw a major casualty in the form of Atari. The former video game giant struggled to keep up with Nintendo and Sega, and its 5200 and 7800 systems barely made a blip in the gaming community. The release of the Lynx in 1989 was critically acclaimed, though sales were small compared to its rival, the Nintendo Gameboy. The release of the Sega Gamegear shortly after killed the system off completely. After one final attempt at a console, the unsuccessful Jaguar, Atari owner Jack Tramiel decided to leave the industry.
Without a toy to hide behind, Nintendo was now marketing the NES as a video game system. There was nothing to hide. They had successfully manoeuvred their product onto shelves in the guise of a robot toy with accessories, now the accessories stood on their own two feet. Nintendo could do no wrong, and the release of the Gameboy in 1989 cemented this in the minds of gamers. The problem with success is that it's finite, and Nintendo learned this in 1989, when Sega's 16-bit Megadrive, branded as the Genesis, landed on American shores.
With technology advancing Nintendo had no choice but to release its own 16-bit console. Graphics were king, and the Megadrive could provide visuals that the NES was simply unable to. However, Nintendo had an advantage through their agreements with third party agreements developers. Though these agreements were modified as Nintendo started to lose marketshare, it still put them in a position of power. They also had plenty of goodwill from gamers who had grown up on the NES. The Nintendo name was one that gamers trusted.
The Super Famicom was released in 1990, with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System being released in 1991. Though there was a new console on the market, the original NES was still available, though it was remodelled for the 90s. Gone was the square front loading box and in its place was a rounded top loading console. The controllers were remoulded with two round ends, and an adjoining section in the middle. Affectionately known as the 'dog bone controllers', these new joypads are more ergonomically designed. The Famicom was also redesigned in a similar manner, though the top of the console is flatter than the NES. This redesigned Nintendo Entertainment System remained on the market until 1995 in the US, though both there Famicom and Super Famicom were discontinued in 2003 in Japan.
The Nintendo Entertainment System is arguably the most fondly remembered video game system of all time, inspiring many knock offs and imitators known as 'Famiclones'. Nintendo have always recognised and understood the legacy of this system, re-releasing many of their NES titles on newer systems. This legacy continues to this day with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Mini in 2016, and new plans for a Netflix style NES service for the Nintendo Switch.

Q: Querying database without using echo, producing results for design there's something that's giving me a bit of a headache at the moment. I am querying a database retrieving some data after clicking a link from a previous page.
Easy enough I get to play about with some code in the 'echo'. Problem is in the 'echo' as I need to put in php includes and general html/design code for design purposes. Is there a way or a method where I can write the code but then call variables again later and have the ability to place other php code such as includes? Basically something which is going to let me have to have the code but then allow me to concentrate on the design aspect of my page.
Any help much appreciated.
<?php
if(!empty($_GET['book_url']))
{
   $sql = "
SELECT articles.id, articles.order_ref, articles.art_title, articles.art_book, articles.art_url, book.id AS bookid, book.book_name AS book_name, book.book_url AS book_url
FROM articles
LEFT JOIN book ON articles.art_book = book.id
WHERE book_name = \"" .$_GET['book_url'] . "\"
ORDER BY id ASC
";
    // then do the query, etc....
}

$results = $db->query($sql);

if($results->num_rows) {
    While($row = $results->fetch_object()) {
        echo "

        ////////Show Stuff

        ";
        ?>

A: You can separate the code and the HTML by putting the code in <?php ?>. Then, in your HTML you can have short code snippets that print the work you did in the code sections. Like this (there might be a syntax error or two, I don't have Apache to test):
<?php

$name = $_GET['name'];

function stuff() {
    // this would normally be long and complicated
    return "stuff";
}

?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
    <title>title</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css" type="text/css">

The name is: <?php echo $name; ?>

The stuff is: <?php echo stuff(); ?>

Alternatively, you can use a framework like Laravel which will provide a templating system.

Joshua Ansley is taking his creative talents and experiences and looking to be of service to his fellows. With a background as a classically trained actor in London, a playwright in NY, a filmmaker in Los Angeles, a yoga instructor in Mexico and a professional touring rock musician, he has a variety of skills to share. While he is humorous and creative, he is also deeply moving and looking forward to working with you on your latest project.


Kahlil Gibran, in his well-known poem about children, says, "Your children are not your children / They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself." By this, Gibran means, among other things, that children are not parents' property, but rather have their own independent lives and destinies. As separate human beings, children are deserving of our deepest respect. These watchwords are especially important when considering appropriate discipline methods for managing children's misbehaviors.
An approach to discipline that embodies this kind of respect for children has its origins in the work of Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist who was at one time a disciple of Sigmund Freud. Adler and his colleague Rudolf Dreikurs, an American psychiatrist, believed that all children's behavior was bent on achieving two goals: to feel a sense of belonging and to be significant. Children who misbehave are trying to reach these two objectives, but they mistakenly believe that they can attain these goals by engaging in activities seen as troublesome or disturbing by those around them. An important first step in helping children learn more appropriate ways of behaving resides in discovering the real reasons behind a child's misbehavior and then dealing with the underlying need.
A specific instance of misbehavior can outwardly look like any these four types. So, for example, when Susie knocks the flowerpot off the table, she could be saying "Pay attention to me!" or "I'm more powerful than you!" or "That's what you get for punishing me!" or "I don't care anymore!" You'll need to do some problem solving to get at the underlying issue, including a look at your child's past misbehaviors (is there a pattern?), a sizing up of the current situation (what events led up to this misbehavior?), and your own parental intuition.
When the issue is attention, you might ignore the behavior or do something unexpected (sing a funny song in response to a child's attention-getting whining).
If the underlying motive is power, then you might need a cooling-off period followed by a problem-solving session to resolve the struggle.
If your child seeks revenge, then curbing the urge to retaliate and welcoming cooperation might be ways you could handle the problem.
If your child misbehaves because of feelings of inadequacy, then teaching her skills in the area of perceived inadequacy, as well as setting up opportunities for her to experience success, can go a long way toward moving her in a more positive direction.
Some parents might think, "Well, my child is misbehaving because he has ADHD not because of these other things, and so he basically just needs medication and behavior modification to control his medical condition." But just because your child has a diagnosis of ADHD doesn't mean that he's any less human or any less subject to the same need to feel significant and have a sense of belonging as any other child. Once you realize that medication, rewards, and punishments don't really get to the heart of a child's misbehavior and that all children seek and deserve respect and encouragement, then your relationship with your child will likely improve dramatically.

Are the sim and SD trays supposed to have a very small amount of play when they are pushed all the way in? It's very slight but they do wiggle a bit.
Mine has the same thing going on. I've tried pushing them while the phone is on and haven't noticed any issues.
Mine had a slight bit after I installed the SD card but I pushed it in slightly more and it locked. They still have a hair of play, but not much at all.
That's how mine are. They are locked in place but the strip of black has a very slight amount of play. I didn't notice it for the 1st day I had it until I held it a certain way. On my LG G2 the outer part of the tray fits down into a perfectly sized cutout. It doesn't move at all, kinda like an iPhone.
Yeah if I tap my finger on them, I can hear rattle when I hit them.
It sounds like we're all good.
It makes sense that they would have a little bit of play. Otherwise, ejection could turn into an issue. I dunno. If they had not been spring loaded and instead they were tension set, I don't imagine they'd be this way.

Dry Dock Brewing quadrupled in size in 2013; plans to add new beers in 2014
Jonathan Shikes January 17, 2014 3:00PM
Dry Dock Brewing, which opened a new, 30,000-square-foot production brewery and packaging facility in Aurora last January, said today that it had nearly quadrupled in size over the past twelve months, going from 3,273 barrels in 2012 to 12,000 barrels in 2013. It also managed to can more than two million beers in just a year.
But the rapid growth means Dry Dock had to delay other plans, including out-of-state distribution and the addition of a taproom at the new brewery. (The company currently operates a large taproom and brewery at its original location on Hampden Avenue.)

"We had awesome plans for a tasting room and outdoor beer garden, but those are on hold," says brewery co-owner Kevin DeLange. "We are still planning to add a small tasting room, though, in six months to a year so that the public can see the place."
DeLange says he talked with other beer makers, like Todd Usry of Breckenridge Brewery and Dave Thibodeau of Ska Brewing, about what happens when a company grows more quickly than it wants to. "We talked about the return on investment versus the return on fun, which is why we got into the business, and we decided to take a deep breath."
But that doesn't mean Dry Dock doesn't have big plans for 2014. In addition to adding three 120-barrel fermenters, which will increase the brewery's capacity by 150 percent, DeLange says Dry Dock will add a couple of new packaged seasonal beers.
Dry Dock, which won five medals at the Great American Beer Festival in 2013, currently cans four year-round brews in six-packs and two others in 22-ounce bomber bottles; it also has four seasonal beers that are sold in bomber bottles.
"We have lots of barrel-aged stuff and specialty beers in the works," he adds. "We want to get back to a creative focus."
Dry Dock has also hired a new quality control manager, Jim Bruckner, a chemist who worked previously at Rogue Brewing, who will help the brewery "dial in" its processes before it finally starts distributing out of state -- possibly in 2015.

Robert Herrick (baptized August 24, 1591- October 1674) was a 17th century English poet. Born in Cheapside, London, he was the seventh child and fourth son of Nicholas Herrick, a prosperous goldsmith, who committed suicide when Robert was a year old. It is likely that he attended Westminster School. In 1607 he became apprenticed to his uncle, Sir William Herrick, who was a goldsmith and jeweller to the king. The apprenticeship ended after only six years when Herrick, at age twenty-two, matriculated at St John's College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1617. Robert Herrick became a member of the Sons of Ben, a group of Cavalier poets centered around an admiration for the works of Ben Jonson. In or before 1627, he took religious orders, and, having been appointed chaplain to the duke of Buckingham, accompanied him on his disastrous expedition to the Isle of Rh� (1627). He became vicar of the parish of Dean Prior, Devon in 1629, a post that carried a term of thirty-one years. It was in the secluded country life of Devon that he wrote some of his best work. The stipend (pay) for this living was small, and the contrast to his life in London must have been great. However, he took his responsibilities as a parish priest seriously, and he was essentially a man with a happy and friendly temperament. Local people described him as becoming much beloved by the Gentry in those parts for his florid and witty discourse, even though (as his biographer Alfred Pollard records) he had been known to throw the manuscript of his sermon at an unfortunate parishioner who happened to drop off to sleep during it. His poem A Thanksgiving to God, for his House describes an idyllic and placid life, surrounded by his animals and cared for devotedly by his maid, Prudence Baldwin. In the wake of the English Civil War, his position was revoked on account of his refusal to make pledge to the Solemn League and Covenant. He then returned to London. During this time, he lived in Westminster, in London, depending on the charity of his friends and family. He spent some time preparing his lyric poems for publication, and had them printed in 1648 under the title Hesperides; or the Works both Human and Divine of Robert Herrick, with a dedication to the Prince of Wales. When King Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, Herrick petitioned for his own restoration to his living. Perhaps King Charles felt kindly towards this genial man, who had written verses celebrating the births of both Charles II and his brother James before the Civil War. Herrick became the vicar of Dean Prior again in the summer of 1662 and lived there until his death in 1674, at the ripe age of 83. Herrick was a bachelor all his life, and many of the women he names in his poems are thought to be fictional.

Fitesa has acquired 51% of spunbond nonwovens maker CNC International. The Rayong, Thailand-based company largely serves the Southeast Asian markets. The company operates two sites in Rayong (Bangkok region, Thailand) and one sales office in Tokyo (Japan) and will have its name changed to FitesaCNC. The joint-venture will focus on the hygiene market – in line with the rest of the Fitesa business.
CNC's last major investment was a 24,000-ton Reicofil 4 production line in 2013 and its current capacity is thought to be about 40,000 tons per year. Owned by the CPPC Group, which falls under the umbrella of Charoen Pokphand Group (CP), the largest agriculture-based conglomerate in Thailand, CNC was founded in 1994 when CPPC decided to diversify into nonwovens.
Originally founded as a 50/50 joint venture company between Fiberweb and CPPC, CPPC purchased all of the shares of CNC in late 2006. At the time of this purchase, executives referred to the move as a clear example of its intention of having CNC grow along with its key customers in the region.
Fitesa did not comment on the value of the transaction nor the company's revenues, but executives did say the acquisition represents the company's first step into one of the world's fastest growing regions for the spunbonded nonwovens and hygiene products. Owned by Petropar, Fitesa has spunmelt assets in North and South America as well as Europe. Until the CNC acquistion, the company's only Asian operation was in China where it has air through bonding and airlaid capabilities.

William 'Grit' Laskin is a renowned Canadian luthier who has crafted guitars since 1971 for collectors and musicians including k.d. lang, Tom Cochrane, and Rik Emmett. He also uses his guitars as "canvases" for his engraved inlay art, and as a tool for communication. Laskin is also a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, appearing at occasional clubs and music festivals. In 1996 he founded Borealis Records with Ken Whiteley, Canada's first national folk music label.
This guitar, a tribute to Pete Seeger (1919-2014) features artwork and text highlighting major influences and events in Seeger's life, as well as his interest in politics and environmental activism. Written on the body (with alcohol-based pigment) is the phrase he routinely wrote on his banjo head. In the headstock we see the banjo-playing younger Pete, with his wife Toshi behind him. On his banjo, given that his political statement is now on the guitar top, Laskin wrote the title of one of his most well-known songs: WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE.
On the fretboard, the first thing you see is a very large version of Pete's standard signature scribble of a 5-string banjo done in Red Coral stone. This runs the length of the neck and into the headstock, serving as the visual 'spine' of the narrative. Moving from the nut to the higher frets, we see Woody Guthrie, then the phrase TALKING UNION, which was the title of the first song collection put out by Almanac Singers (the precursor to the Weaves), a signer's collective that included Woody and Pete. Intertwined with "Talking Union" are the words "How To Play," which is the first phrase of the title of Pete's famous banjo instruction book: "How To Play The 5-String Banjo", which came out in the late 1940s. Next we see the other three members of The Weavers, as depicted on the cover of their most famous album: Live at Carnegie Hall, 1955. Then we see the chair of the House Un-American Activities Committee, US Senator Joe McCarthy, depicted upside down and in 'cowardly' yellow. Around him are the first words from Pete's actual statement to the Committee: "I refuse to answer…" Pete was of course blacklisted for decades because he refused to name names. Finally, we see the upper sails of the sloop Clearwater, which Pete sailed up the Hudson River year after year to protest its pollution. He and other musicians would stop in each town, perform a concert, and then encourage political action to clean up the river. They were successful – the Hudson is much cleaner, fish species have returned, and there is even a permanent environmental music festival called Clearwater.

Q: Can't pair apple wireless keyboard Keyboard: Apple Wireless Keyboard (model number MC184LL/B)
System: Macbook Pro Early 2011 running OS X 10.8
The keyboard gets detected and when I try to pair it, the system asks to enter some numbers through the keyboard.
However when I press the key (on the wireless keyboard) nothing happens, the only key that seems to work (i.e. to move to the next key in the code) is 0. I can also press enter to confirm but it always fails (since the only code I can enter is 0000...0).
I've also tried pairing from the bluetooth preference and changing the passcode option. However this won't work either.
Any ideas? The keyboard was paired with another MacBook Pro (I don't have access to it anymore). Is there any method to 'reset' the keyboard to factory settings?

A: If only one number key is working, it sounds like a hardware issue. My brother had a wireless keyboard that flaked out and only certain keys functioned (although in his case it was from a liquid spill).
Do you have any other Bluetooth-capable device to test with? Any iOS device can pair with the keyboard to test it.

A: For posterity, some troubleshooting on this exact same problem...
After reading the question and answer here I was ready to throw the keyboard in the trash, but then thought that if two people have such an odd failure maybe its just a bug that one can work around.
So, after being unable to type anything but 0 and enter and watching the connection attempt fail, I clicked a button on the failure screen that allowed me to then choose an alternate passkey. It was pre-populated with 0000. I played around with connecting again but the enter key would not highlight until I typed eight zeros instead of four. I tried a few times and then noticed for whatever reason the custom setting was back to eight random digits.
I decided to start over, clearing out the list of bluetooth devices. On my next attempt, I typed 00000000 and enter for the passkey and waited for the failure. I then selected the custom passkey setting which was now populated as 0000. I reattempted and was asked to type 0000. I did so, and even though the screen did not show I could hit enter - presumably because it wanted four more digits - I hit enter anyway. And it paired.
I am typing this with that very keyboard. Sounds great. Except this: the keys 1 through 9 still do not work, nor do the symbols on those keys when holding shift. Note I copied/pasted the one and nine digit from elsewhere into this answer :-)
So sad.

A: I had the same problem: an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard would not pair with an iMac after having been paired with a MacBook Pro. The Bluetooth pairing dialog would appear with a 6-digit code, but the only key that worked was Return/Enter.
Resolved by resetting the firmware as explained by Dave Meehan in How to Reset an Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard, Mouse or Trackpad (Troubleshooting Pairing and Other Common Problems):

*

*Switch off the keyboard by holding down the power button for at least 3 seconds

*Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar

*Click on "Set Up Bluetooth Device" or "Open Bluetooth Preferences"

*Turn on the keyboard by holding down the power button, BUT DO NOT LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON. It must be kept held down through the entire process.

*The Setup Assistant will find the keyboard, so click the name of the keyboard, and then click on "Continue". Make sure you are still holding the power button down.

*You will be prompted for the Pairing Code. You can now release the power button, type the pairing code on the keyboard and then press return. There will be a slight delay whilst the pairing completes (a few seconds)

*The keyboard will now be Paired, and should work as expected (if it produces wrong characters for keypresses you may have the wrong language setting on your Mac, see below).

A: I had the same problem spent 4 hour nothing work so I ran my finger back and forth about 10 times across the numbers changed the batteries and I am typing this on that keyboard know connected to iMac numbers are working but not always. crazy don't know why the numbers worked to enter passkey but it did for what it's worth hope this helps

Could The Academy Take Back Will Smith's Oscar?
By Joey Keogh/March 28, 2022 11:34 am EST
While fans were concerned that the 2022 Oscars would be a write-off — due to the fact that key categories weren't shown on the live telecast, per TVLine — no one should have worried. That's because Will Smith was on hand to create a meme-worthy moment for the ages. Per Variety, the freshly-minted Oscar winner sent shockwaves through Hollywood when he slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face.
The incident occurred after Rock made light of Jada Pinkett-Smith's well-documented struggles with alopecia, by joking she'd shaved her head for an upcoming role in a "G.I. Jane" sequel. Will clearly wasn't impressed, and he took to the stage to let Rock know exactly how he felt. "Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth," he yelled, once he was back in his chair. A stunned Rock noticeably stumbled as he tried to continue with his speech. Social media, and indeed Hollywood at large, has been debating whether or not Will was wrong to defend his wife so vociferously. There have even been calls to revoke his Oscar. But, is that actually a possibility?
Twitter is calling for Will Smith's Oscar to be revoked
Karwai Tang/Getty Images
According to the Irish Mirror, there are widespread calls for Will Smith to be stripped of his best actor Oscar, following the violent incident. Will beat out the likes of Javier Bardem and long-time friend Denzel Washington to win the award. He was also the favorite leading up to the event to win — but now, Twitter users are adamant that the actor went too far and should be punished accordingly. "Let's be clear, the second this happened, Will Smith should been immediately removed from the theatre. You don't let someone assault another human, go back to his seat, and then give him an award so he can preach about being a vessel of love," one user tweeted.
Per the Irish Mirror, other social media users complained that it wasn't right for Will to win an Oscar after he demonstrated unacceptable behavior. "It's basically assault. Everyone was just so shocked in the room, it was so uncomfortable," one industry insider at the event told the New York Post. "I think Will would not want to give his Oscar back, but who knows what will happen now." The Academy has since released a statement on Twitter, confirming that it "does not condone violence of any form." Meanwhile, per The Guardian, Smith has apologized for his behavior and hopes he will not be banned from the Oscars in the future.
Could Will Smith actually be stripped of his award?
In the wake of the shocking moment, many are wondering whether the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will actually strip Will Smith of his award. After all, the institution has a strict code of conduct enforcing their values, which include respecting "fostering supportive environments and respect for human dignity," per the Daily Mail. The fact their official Twitter account decried Smith's behavior suggests the actor isn't in their good graces. However, the "King Richard" star went on to attend the glitzy afterparty and pose alongside fellow A-listers all night, so it's tough to ascertain where he stands at the moment. According to the Daily Mail, the Academy actually tightened up its doctrine as recently as 2017, in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
The outlet reported that disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein had his membership revoked, due to accusations of rape and misconduct during his decades in the industry. However, if Smith is stripped of his Oscar, it's likely to reignite criticism over the Academy's hypocrisy. Twitter users were quick to point to the fact that Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, and Mel Gibson still have their Oscars today, despite horrifying allegations against all three of them.

The Gibraltar Mine is a Canadian copper mine operated by Taseko Mines near McLeese Lake in British Columbia, Canada. It is the second largest open-pit mine in Canada and the fourth largest in North America.

The mine is the largest employer in the Cariboo region.

Gibraltar was originally opened by Placer Development Ltd. of Vancouver in 1972. The property was sold in 1996 to Westmin Resources which closed the mine in 1998. In July 1999, Taseko Mines purchased Gibraltar and re-opened it in October 2004, taking over operations in 2006.

In May 2006, the Phase I expansion was announced. The concentrator capacity was increased from 36,750 to 46,000 tonnes per day (tpd) at a cost of $76 million. The phase II expansion – which began in May 2007 – saw the concentrator capacity increased from 46,000 to 55,000 tpd in a semi-autogenous grinding mill at a cost of $40 million. The mine went through addition upgrades during a third development phase which cost $325 million, increasing the design capacity of Gibraltar to 85,000 tpd.

Taseko reported reserves of 2.4 billion pounds of copper and 69 million pounds of molybdenum in 2007.
