Q: Simultaneously find x for multiple function values Problem
Given a function f and a list of interested value [y1, y2, ..., yn], how do you do to find the list [x1, x2, ..., xn] such that f(xi)=yi for each i.
I know there are many root finding algorithms and we can use any of those to find the root of f-yi to find xi. However, at least for the bisect method, if I can reuse the evaluated values, then the total time should be decreased, especially if evaluating f is time consuming, right?

Example
For example, using bisect method, I want find the [x1, x2] such that f([x1, x2])=[1, 5]. When finding y1=1, these values are evaluated
+------+-----+----+
| iter | x   | y  |
+------+-----+----+
| 1    | 8   | 14 |
+------+-----+----+
| 2    | 4   | 6  |
+------+-----+----+
| 3    | 2   | 2  |
+------+-----+----+
| 4    | 1   | 0  |
+------+-----+----+
| 5    | 1.5 | 1  |
+------+-----+----+

and therefore x1=1.5. When finding y2=5, if we can make use of the evaluated values and find
+------+-----+---+
| iter | x   | y |
+------+-----+---+
| 1    | 3   | 4 |  <- because 2, 4 are evaluated
+------+-----+---+
| 2    | 3.5 | 5 |
+------+-----+---+

with less iterations than not using.

Question
Do you know any algorithm that make use of this, any language is fine? Or would you explain why there isn't any?

A: You can make a function table over the given range, xs=arange(xa,xb,h) with some sensible values for interval and sample density, compute the function table via ys = f(xs) and then use reverse interpolation to get the starting point(s) for the root seeking method, xi0 = interp(yi,ys,xs). For the bisection or any other bracketing method one could then start with the interval [xi0-h, xi0+h].
This is the most systematic use you can make of global information of the function values. The values obtained in the root finder are then too local to contribute essential improvements to the above function table.
But go ahead and experiment. Starting with a large h and merging the computed values into the table is a bit more of a coding effort, but there might be some cross-over where it indeed produces a more adapted sampling.

40 Years of Earth Day: The Planet Then and Now
...due to my absence, posting a bit late for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, but better late than never!
Reposted in full from the Global Footprint Network newsletter, April 2010
'On April 22, 1970, the first observation of Earth Day took place, a massive series of gatherings, demonstrations and discussions across the U.S. that many credit as the birth of the modern environmental movement. An oil spill off the California coast was the event that triggered U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson to launch Earth Day – but concerns about environmental health and the detrimental effects of industrialization were growing, over issues such as pesticide use, oil spills, poor air quality, pollution, loss of wilderness to development and declining biodiversity.
Heralded as a resounding success, the first Earth Day resulted in the implementation of a number of U.S. environmental policies, and the movement quickly went global.
Yet today, the environmental challenges we face dwarf those that touched off that first celebration. And the planet we honor on Earth Day is a far different place from that of just four decades ago.
World population has almost doubled, from 3.7 billion to 6.9 billion. The amount of land paved over to build houses, cities and roads has increased 75 percent, from 228 million global hectares to 400 million global hectares, according to Global Footprint Network's 2009 National Footprint Accounts. The amount of productive forest land required for fuelwood, paper and timber products, has gone up 53 percent to close to 2 billion global hectares. The productive land and sea area we need for food – for fishing, crops and grazing our livestock – has increased 69 percent, to 5.6 billion global hectares.
But the most staggering increase is reflected in our carbon Footprint: the amount of productive land area that would be needed to absorb our carbon emissions. Since 1970, our total carbon Footprint has more than tripled, from 2.9 to 9 billion global hectares. Carbon has also gone from being a smaller part of humanity's total Footprint than cropland, to outstripping every other area of demand by a significant margin.
The result of this ecological overspending is clear from the crises we are confronting now – most prominently climate change, but also biodiversity loss, deforestation, fisheries collapse, soil erosion and other problems. Earth has changed from a place where we could operate as if resources were limitless, to one in which resource constraints are becoming a pressing and increasingly decisive concern.
Growing Footprints on a Small Planet
In 1970, the world still had significant ecological reserves. Humanity used resources and produced carbon emissions at a rate that the planet's ecosystems could keep up with. By the time Earth Day was 15 years old, however, humanity was in ecological overshoot: using resources and producing CO2 at a rate that exceeded what the Earth could regenerate and reabsorb.
Today, it would take the resources of 1.4 Earths to renewably produce all the resources we consume and absorb the carbon dioxide emissions we create. Global Footprint Network research shows that if we continue at the current rate, by the time we celebrate Earth Day's 60th anniversary, we will require the resources of two Earths to sustainably meet human demands. Reaching this level of demand may well be impossible.
(Use our newly expanded personal calculator and determine your own Ecological Footprint.)
The good news is, we can change our trajectory.
Infrastructure, because of its long life, will play an especially important role in determining whether the sustainability challenge will be successfully met.
Just as the choices we made in 1970 still shape the way we live today, the energy, transportation, housing and manufacturing systems we build today will chart the course for our future.
If we invest in systems that can operate on a small Footprint, that do not have negative impacts on biocapacity, and that are flexible and resilient in the face of changing resource constraints, they will provide lasting benefits. If, on the other hand, we design infrastructure that is dependent on a high level of resource throughput, or that damages or depletes the ecological services that make its operation possible, any benefits gained will be at best short-lived.
Similarly, the way we manage agricultural, water and forestry systems will determine whether they will be able to provide an ongoing stream of renewable resources and carbon sequestration services.
In countries with rapidly expanding populations, education—especially of women— along with improved health care and access to family planning options, can help mitigate the contribution of population growth to local and global overshoot.
(Download our recent report: The Ecological Wealth of Nations: The Earth's biocapacity as a new framework for international cooperation.)
Confronting the FutureThe first Earth Day showed that major public movements can have significant effects in shifting policies and values.
As we note its 40th anniversary, we have a choice. Do we continue with business as usual, careening toward critical limits not just in atmospheric carbon build-up, but in biodiversity, freshwater, fisheries, soil quality and other systems? Or do we begin the rethinking and retooling we need to change the arc of human demand, and bend it toward living within nature's means?'

About Chittenango,NY
The name of the village is derived from the Oneida name for Chittenango Creek, Chu-de-nääng′, meaning "where waters run north." While the name "Chittenango" is often thought by locals to mean "river flowing north" or "where the waters divide and run north," a reference to the direction of water flow from the creek's point of origin to Oneida Lake, there is no derivation for these alternatives. On an 1825 map of the area, the village is called Chittening, a name used by early settlers which is thought to be derived directly from Chu-de-nääng′. According to American anthropologist Lewis H. Morgan who studied Iroquois customs and language in his 1851 book League of the Iroquois, the name "Chittenango" may have come from Chu-de-nääng′ Ga-hun′-da, a redundant combination of the Oneida terms for "Chittenango Creek" ( Chu-de-nääng′) and "creek" ( Ga-hun′-da). Initial growth of this village is largely attributed to the construction of the Erie Canal which officially opened in 1825, joining Buffalo on Lake Erie with Albany, the capital of New York, and the Hudson River.

Samantha looks lovely in these photos from an event.
There can be no denying that this is a terrific phase for the cute and bubbly Samantha Akkineni. This October, she tied the knot with her sweetheart and popular young star Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and began a new chapter in life. The two got married on October 6 according to Hindu traditions in a memorable ceremony. Thereafter, the two walked down the aisle and tied the knot as per Christian traditions. A few days after her big day, Sam received more good news when her 'Raju Gari Gadhi 2' opened to a good response at the box office and earned rave reviews along the way. In it, she was seen alongside her FIL Nagarjuna and made an impact with her performance.
Talking about the film's success, she had said that her character was dedicated to those who suffered courtesy the 'Suchi Leaks' scandal.
"He has a great command over his craft, and it's very endearing to see that kind of positivity and confidence. I believe that's also a reason why someone as experienced as Vijay, who has worked with the biggest of names in the industry, came back to Atlee for a second time (after Theri) because there's some magic in this man. I think he's going to strike gold again in his own style. Mersal is like a complete showreel for Vijay," she had told a leading website.
Now, Sam is in the limelight again and that too for an awesome reason. As it so happens, the lovely lady was recently spotted at an event. And, not surprisingly, she looked a million bucks. Sporting a casual yet stylish number, she looked stunning and made quite an impact! Her confident body language gelled quite well with her latest avatar and upped its recall value in a big way. She truly is a scene stealer!
On the work front, Sam will soon be seen in 'Irumbu Thirai'. The film has been directed by PS Mithran and will see her share screen space with Vishal. Recently, the director had said that Sam plays a 'crucial' in the film.
Besides 'Irumbu Thirai', she also has 'Rangasthalam' in her kitty. It is a Sukumar directorial and will see her share screen space with Ram Charan for the first time in her career.
On the personal side of things, Samantha and Chai are currently gearing up to celebrate their first Christmas as a married couple.
So, did you like these photos of Samantha Akkineni? Comments, please!

A planning application for a £30m stone and glass fronted retail and office development on Princes Street has been submitted to Edinburgh City Council. The proposal, for the site of the former Burberry outlet and the former C&A building, at the east end of the city's prime retail thoroughfare, is backed by international property investment company Redevco.
The state-of-the-art building, designed by Scottish architectural practice 3D Architects, will provide Edinburgh with the larger floorspace that niche retailers prefer, but which is currently lacking in the city centre. It will also offer high quality office accommodation in a prime site that is also in strong demand in the capital.
The nine storey structure is set to replace the two empty stores that are proposed to be demolished. The redundant units are not capable of meeting modern office or retail needs. They do not offer the floor to ceiling heights required for air conditioning, telecoms or IT expected of a modern office environment nor can they be reconfigured to provide the larger space major stores are seeking on Princes Street. There will be four floors of retailing – basement, ground, first and second – and five floors of offices, which will offer flexible accommodation capable of shared occupation.
One of the existing buildings, the former Burberry's store at 39-41 Princes Street is listed, but, the developer's professional team has been in detailed discussion with amenity and heritage bodies regarding its replacement with the new high-tech landmark. Redevco and its professional advisers take the view that the new building will be of increased architectural merit and the quality of design of the replacement structure will outweigh the loss of the vacant listed retail outlet.
Demolition of the existing buildings and the construction programme will be dependent on Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent. It is anticipated that, if consent is secured by late summer, work on site could begin immediately. The new development could therefore be complete by spring of 2003. Construction will take about 14 months.
The same family who owned the C&A retail chain, which has had a presence in Edinburgh from the 1930s until last year, are major shareholders in Redevco. The Company intends to invest in the project and retain ownership of the development after it is complete. The new building is set to be an important component of the investment company's property portfolio, comparable with their other flagship developments in London.
Redevco has also confirmed that it is considering options for streetscape improvements. Discussions are ongoing with the city council over enhancing Princes Street.
Commenting on the plans, Andrew Vaughan, Managing Director of Redevco, stated: "This flagship project will be one of Edinburgh's most dynamic developments. It is in the heart of the city, will boast spectacular views and will provide the accommodation that the city needs to offer leading businesses, as well as giving retailers the type and size of space that they are demanding. Redevco are pleased to be investing in such an exciting proposal, which will be a credit to Princes Street and shall be a key component in the city's retailing fight back.
"We are committed to the long term and that will be reflected in the highest quality of design and construction materials for such an important site.
"Retailers need large floorplates to operate efficiently. Redeveloping the existing buildings would not provide the lettable area required to make the project economically feasible nor would it provide what tenants want.
Agents for the proposal are Jones Lang LaSalle and Culverwell & Co. Architects are 3D, based in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Robert Turley Associates are providing town planning advice. Simpson & Brown have provided advice on the conservation and heritage issues involved.
The site comprises 33 – 41 Princes Street, situated between the Old Waverley Hotel (1883) to the west and the RW Forsyth building (1906, extended 1924) to the east. Redevco owns the site. The Burberrys unit was Category B listed in 1996. It was designed by TP Marwick and Son and built between 1938-1939. It was built for and occupied by Jays Department Store. The sculpture on the front of the building by Tom Whalen thus depicts a Jay. The interior has since been altered to modern retail use. The building was occupied by Burberrys until its closure.
The C&A store is unlisted. The present building was built in 1956 by North and Partners, although the frontage was rebuilt to a design by Leach Rhodes Walker in 1984.
C&A have traded in this location since the 1930s, when they converted the former Edinburgh Hotel building, which was subsequently destroyed by fire in 1955.

The Minister confirmed that whilst Government would assist Eskom to the tune of R23bn a year (specifically in order to enable it to meet its debt service obligations), Government would not be taking on any debt from Eskom.
This financial support is conditional on the joint appointment by the Ministers of Finance and Public Enterprises of an independent Chief Reorganisation Officer who is to implement the recommendations of the Presidential Task Team (especially regarding the subdivision of Eskom into three independent components).
Priority is to be given to the creation of a transmission subsidiary of Eskom Holdings, with an independent board, which will hold all existing Eskom transmission network assets.
the changing nature of electricity systems, which are moving away from a vertically integrated monopoly model (such as Eskom) to an increasingly decentralised one.
All of this has been obvious for years to any outsider who has taken the trouble to do a superficial analysis of Eskom's finances and operations, but it is noticeable that the tone and content of Government comment on Eskom has now changed to reflect reality.
This is also evident from the Minister of Finance's comment in his speech that "Pouring money directly into Eskom in its current form is like pouring water into a sieve". One at least has the impression that the matter is finally being taken seriously.
The expenditure item payments for financial assets has been increased by R23.7bn in each year of the MTEF period. This sum is sufficient to subsidise Eskom, but it will not meet bailouts for other state owned enterprises, for instance, South African Airways or the South African Broadcasting Corporation. It is likely that some bailing out will be necessary in 2019/20, and possibly a part of the contingency reserve can help finance payments to other state owned enterprises, although it may well not be sufficient. Bailouts are likely to be accompanied by the appointment of reorganisation officers.
The 2019 Budget reflects the government's intention to curb the growth of the public sector wage bill. The 2018 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement projected an average nominal growth of 7.2% per annum between 2018/19 and 2021/22. The Budget reduces the growth rate to 6.8% per annum.
Natural attrition, and active management of overtime and pay progression. Presumably pay progression would cease to be automatic within a salary range.
Savings from early retirement of public servants. Most of the public wage bill reduction is expected to result from this scheme, and it is worth considering what it entails.
An offer of early retirement will be made to public servants between the ages of 55 and 59, where feasible.
Acceptance of the offer will be voluntary.
The offer will be 'without penalties' which we interpret to mean that the length of service will be calculated on the assumption that beneficiaries retire at age 60.
Pensions will be paid from the date of retirement.
Departments are required to achieve a permanent saving of 50% of the cost attributable to early retirements.
Qualifying public servants will have to weigh up the costs and benefits of taking the offer. The comparison will be between (a) the compensation they would receive if they remain in post less the pension they will receive and (b) the worth to them of increased leisure or new productive activity, or a mixture of both. There were 126 710 public servants between the ages of 55 and 59 in December 2018, and the Budget assumes that 30 000 of them will take up the offer. It is impossible to know in advance how well grounded this assumption is.
The immediate consequence will be that Departments will save on their wage bills. However, they will have fewer people to do the same amount of work. They will be allowed to hire new people, but at a cost of only 50% of the compensation which would have been received by participants in the scheme. The aggregate public wage bill therefore drops.
The scheme also has implications for the Government Employees Pension Fund, which now has to pay out additional pensions to participants from the date of retirement to age 60 (or death if it happens earlier). There is a (vague) promise in the Budget Review that the GEPF's contribution will be repaid by the state over a longer period. Effectively, the government is taking a loan from the GEPF, on unspecified terms.
At the same time, the Budget Review notes that the GEPF's assets to liabilities position has deteriorated since 2016. The contributing factors are lower than expected investment returns, the introduction of new benefits and improvements to existing benefits. In addition, contributions to the GEPF were lower than actuarial assumptions. It is possible that all pensioners might have to bear a cost of lower annual cost of living adjustments to their pensions as result of the scheme.
The two innovations both have precarious features. Emergency bailouts may require expenditure over and above that budgeted for. The early retirement scheme may not yield the budgeted savings and it creates a strain for the GEPF. Meanwhile the date at which the gross national debt to GDP ratio gets pushed further out in time and the stabilised level rises. The 2014 Budget projected that net national debt would stabilise at 44% in 2016/17. The 2019 Budget projects that it will stabilise at 57.3% in 2024/25.
 There is also a passage in the Budget Review that reads as follows: The estimated cost of this intervention is about R16bn over the next two years, of which a portion will be funded from the contingency reserve, and the balance by the Government Employees Pension Fund. There is no explanation of how the estimate of the R16bn was arrived at or how much will be financed from the contingency reserve.

It's happened to the best of us – a long day at the gym, or just a long day, you pull off your shoes, and there it is, the musty unpleasantness that is foot odor. The odor-causing bacteria we carry with us loves moisture and darkness, so sweaty feet inside enclosed shoes is perfect for raising a stink. Controlling those bacteria, and the sweat it feeds on, is usually the key to eliminating the unpleasant scent.
Foot odor is incredibly common, and mostly temporary, but if you have issues with smelly feet that are more chronic than occasional, here are some tips to get your feet smelling sweet.
Clean your Feet – Wash thoroughly with an anti-bacterial soap, and use a washcloth or brush to make sure it really exfoliates.
Keep them Dry – Removing moisture is the key to starving the bacteria. Also consider using talcum powder or corn starch to keep your feet dry on the move.
Wear Breathable Shoes – More commonly workout and running shoes are lighter and much better ventilated to keep your feet cool to prevent sweat as well as discomfort.
Change your Socks – Even if you don't use socks the whole day through it still makes sense to replace them every day, otherwise you're just turning your socks—normally an ally in the war on foot odor—into a bacteria factory.
Keep your Shoes Dry – Let them dry out completely and rotate different pairs for different times. Alternatively or additionally, use an anti-bacterial spray to kill the bacteria or use baking powder to speed your shoes drying.
With these tips you should be able to keep your feet dry and smell-free most of the time. Foot odor isn't entirely caused by bacteria however, as fungal infections and other ailments can create problems of their own. If you suspect that might be the cause of your foot odor, or you have any other foot related problems, schedule a visit with Toronto Podiatrist Sheldon H. Nadal D.P.M.

Ready Player One Book Sequel in the Works with Spielberg's Input
Max EvryMonday, December 11, 2017
In the wake of Warner Bros. Pictures releasing the second trailer for Steven Spielberg's upcoming '80s nostalgia odyssey Ready Player One, author Ernest Cline has confirmed during a trailer launch event that he is writing a Ready Player One book sequel with Steven Spielberg's input! Those that have read the first book know that while that story gets tied up nicely, there's certainly more directions Cline can go with the characters.
"It is true," Cline confirmed of the sequel. "I can't talk about it too much, but I can tell you there's no better inspiration for a writer returning to a world they've already worked on when they're seeing Steven Spielberg bringing that world to life. To get to talk to him and get his input, one of the greatest storytellers of all-time, and a storyteller that had a direct influence on my first novel, 'Ready Player One.' Wade carries a grail diary through the whole story to collect his clues about the Easter Egg hunt, and that's because of 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.' It would have been a different story if I had not grown up watching Steven's movies. So to get to not only collaborate with him to bring the first story to life but to bounce ideas off of him for the sequel is the most gratifying thing that's ever happened to me in my life."
RELATED: Enter OASIS in the New Ready Player One Trailer!
Ready Player One stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg, T.J. Miller, Hannah John-Kamen and Ben Mendelsohn.
The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger..
A Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures production, the Ready Player One movie is being directed by Spielberg, who is also producing alongside Donald De Line, under his De Line Pictures banner, Dan Farah and Kristie Macosko Krieger. Bruce Berman will serve as executive producer. Based on Ernest Cline's novel, the screenplay is by Cline, Zak Penn and Eric Eason. Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future trilogy) will compose the music.
Ready Player One gets its game on when it opens on March 30, 2018.

A Native Plant Garden Grows For 30 Years In Wailea
Posted on June 23, 2018 by bigwave Posted in MALP Breaking News, MALP Newsletters
The plants have covered the rocky cliffs at the Wailea Point historical site.

In the south end of Wailea, nestled between two resorts, is Wailea Point, a private community filled with manicured lawns, lush tropical gardens, and canopies of mature trees and palms. When construction began in the mid-1980's the coastline of this property was rugged lava rock cliffs full of kiawe and other weeds. As part of the master plan of the Wailea resort community, an ocean side walkway connecting resorts, condominiums, beaches and public parking was to be maintained by each property.

Hundreds of visitors pass through this ocean walk daily, taking in the view, jogging, or just on a morning stroll. Having previously been the gardener for this area of Wailea Point, I can tell you the most common questions from these passers-by include "What type of lawn is that?" - Seashore paspalum. "What island is that?" - It's still Maui. If you drive around that mountain you get to Lahaina. "Where's the nearest place to get coffee?" - Well…. What many overlook is the tapestry of native plants next to them, filling the voids between the sidewalk and the ocean tides that creates the Bud Wagner Memorial Garden.
Tamara Sherrill, Executive Director of the Maui Nui Botanical Garden
At the time of construction of Wailea Point, developed by Bud Wagner, a decision was made to not build walls or fences blocking this, the steepest part of the Wailea coastline, but rather to plant hedges of native plants. This section of the walkway "is unique in that it was one of the very first commercial landscapes to utilize native plants in Hawaii," according to Tamara Sherrill, Executive Director of the Maui Nui Botanical Garden. Nearly 70 species of native Hawaiian plants were utilized in the half-mile stretch of garden, some of which were used here for the first time in a commercial garden.
As the gardens began to thrive, and the hedges began to intermingle, something amazing happened. 'Ua'u kani, the wedge-tailed shearwater, came to nest. This small community of indigenous birds has made the resort their home. From April through October, in the heat of the day, they quietly hide in the shade of the naupaka (Scaevola sericea), and 'iliahi (Santalum ellipticum), but, at night, their mates return, with a haunting, wailing call - sometimes prompting unsuspecting visitors to call the police to look for a lost baby.
'Ua'u kani burrow into the ground, sometimes undermining plants, in this case ko'oloa 'ula.
Kawelu was planted in the area to provide nesting materials for the seabirds.
Over time, the variety of plants has fluctuated, with some thriving and others coming and going like the ebb & flow of the tidal waters. In the past few years, the landscape committee of Wailea Point has worked to re-establish the diversity of this seawalk by contracting Anna Palomino, owner of Ho'olawa Farms, in Haiku, Maui, to evaluate the existing plants, re-introduce plant species and introduce new species. Alex Cortez, the maintenance supervisor for Island Plant Company, LLC, which cares for the entirety of the Wailea Point landscape, has helped Anna establish the new plantings as well as maintain the existing gardens.

The tapestry of hedges, including naupaka, pohinahina (Vitex rotundifolia), and u'ulei (Osteomeles anthyllidifolia) remain. Vignettes of mixed species including dwarf naupaka (Scaevola coriacea), 'a'ali'i (Dodonea viscosa), 'ihi (Portulaca molokiniensis), 'uki 'uki (Dianella sandwicense), ko'oloa 'ula (Abutilon menziesii) and mau'u'aki'aki (Fimbristylis cymosa) were planted in open more expanses. Trailing groundcovers such as ilima papa (Sida fallax), akulikuli (Sesuvium portulacastrum) and pau o hi'iaka (Jacquemontia sandwicensis) fill the space between the sidewalk and the hedges. Mindful of the 'ua'u kani, Anna has also introduced kawelu (Eragrostis variagilis),a native grass used for nesting material. As part of this re-establishment, new labels were placed to identify plants throughout the gardens including both Hawaiian and botanical names.

Hibiscus clayii grow along the oceanside gardens.
This project has not been without challenges. Temporary drip irrigation was installed to help the plants become established. Rats were found to be repeatedly eating the alula (Brighamia insignis). Ants inevitably try to farm the different varieties of scale and mealy bugs that have appeared. South swells cause physical damage to the plants, burning off leaves with waves and heavy salt air. Despite signs being installed warning of dangerous cliffs or new plantings, people unwittingly cause the most damage to the new plants by stepping of the sidewalk to allow others to pass, or to get a better view of the seashore. Alex makes sure the newly planted areas of the gardens are guarded with bamboo stakes to help slow the damage from the foot traffic.
Keeping foot traffic off of new plants is always a challenge.
Bamboo stakes are installed as a subtle barrier.
The seawalk's assigned gardener, Jhay-Are Acido, is tasked with manicuring this space, including maintaining the undulating hedges just tall enough for safety but not too tall to block views. Weeds may not just be invasive asparagus fern or ficus but also native noni (Morinda citrifolia) or milo (Thespesia populnea), whose seedlings pop up in an inappropriate spot. After all, a weed is just a plant out of place.
This garden of rare & endangered plants has been sustainably manicured for over 30 years. Tamara reminds us that the Bud Wagner Memorial Garden at Wailea Point "is now a prominent example of how resort areas can incorporate native plants to create a unique sense of place."
Allison Wright has worked for Island Plant Company, LLC on Maui since 2003 where she is currently a maintenance superintendent. She is also a co-owner of Valhalla Flower Farm and is the current president of the Maui Association of Landscape Professionals.
Island Plant Company, LLC, is a landscape maintenance and installation company, owned by Thom and Beverly Foster and was established on Maui over 30 years ago.

Added in: BMW
BMW India will launch the new 2014 BMW Z4 Roadster on 14th next month. The 2014 BMW Z4 Roadster will be the third launch by BMW India this year (the first two being of the 1-Series in September this year).
Internationally, the 2014 BMW Z4 is available with as many as three engine options- a 4 pot 2.0 liters and two 6 cylinder 3.0 liters. BMW India is likely to offer the Z4 in the sDrive35i variant with the 6 cylinder 3.0 litre unit in the 306 PS state of tune. The engine will come mated to a 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission. This is the same gearbox that is available on the M5. The sDrive35i variant is rated at 17 mpg in city and 24 mpg on highway.
The 2014 BMW Z4 will come with a host of standard features and equipments such as leatherette upholstery, dual zone automatic climate control, an AM/FM/CD stereo system with HD Radio and AUX and USB inputs, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, rain-sensing wipers, heated mirrors, power-adjustable seats, bi-xenon headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels. The BMW Z4 2014 will be a direct rival to the Porsche Boxter, Audi TT and Mercedes SLK.

Report: Intel Officials back revoking of Brennan, Clapper clearances
Published on : August 4, 2018 August 4, 2018 Published by : Jacob Palmieri
A new investigation from Real Clear Politics found that secretly Intelligence Officials support Trump revoking security clearances from certain Obama Era intelligence officials.
RCI:
President Trump has been criticized for politicizing the intelligence community by threatening to strip the security clearances of former top officials including John Brennan and James Clapper. But numerous past and present senior intelligence officials say that the Obama administration started the politicization — and that revoking the clearances of those who abuse the privilege for partisan purposes may help right the ship.
"As is often the case with the Trump administration, the rollout of the policy is bad, but the idea driving the policy is sound," said one senior intelligence official who, like others interviewed for this article, spoke to RealClearInvestigations only on condition of anonymity. "Under some Obama-era intelligence chiefs, intelligence was used as a political weapon. We need to root that out, not reward it."
The report continues
Some sources say former CIA director Brennan, ex-director of national intelligence Clapper and others with security clearances were emboldened to pursue political agendas through the anti-Trump media, in a climate of impunity created by the Justice Department's failure to prosecute leaks attending Donald Trump's election. Notable among the leaks, they said, was a top unnamed official's "unmasking" of Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn in a January 2017 Washington Post column by David Ignatius, sourced to classified intercepts of Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador. Leaking such classified information is a felony.
"The very people who are now talking the most know the details of how the Flynn intercept was leaked," a senior U.S. official told RealClearInvestigations. "They wouldn't be out talking like that if they'd been interviewed by the FBI." The Department of Justice declined to comment.
Security clearances are commonly extended for the top leaders of the intelligence community after they leave their jobs, on the rare chance that they should be called upon to consult with their successors.
"The Trump administration is not going to call in Susan Rice for advice, never mind John Brennan," said one active intelligence officer. "And if someone does get called in from a previous administration they can get a temporary clearance, akin to a one-day non-disclosure agreement."
Revoking security clearances would curtail the ex-officials' ability to use for partisan ends the resources and institutions of the federal government, including classified intelligence. Published reports show that Obama-era intelligence officials embarked on this course even while they were in government.
Brennan and Clapper's government records are tarnished by improprieties and abuses that they have been reluctant to acknowledge. Brennan was compelled to apologize to the Senate Intelligence Committee after it was discovered the CIA searched the computers of Senate staffers. The Obama administration used the foreign intelligence surveillance system to spy on congressional critics of the Iran nuclear deal as well as pro-Israel activists.
With Clapper's subsequent hiring as a national security consultant at CNN, Senator Paul and other conservatives argued that the media was effectively monetizing access to classified intelligence. "If they still have clearances, former colleagues still active may be passing them information," says an acting intelligence official.
Another concern is that the emerging relationship between the press and the intelligence community may inspire active intelligence officers to leak to preferred news organizations with an eye to a job after retirement. "The situation," says the official, "is ripe for abuse."
The issue, according to RCI's sources, is that the growing alignment between anti-Trump media and former spy chiefs will further politicize intelligence, thereby compromising national security while continuing to fragment an already divided American public. All the while, the intelligence community is squandering the confidence of those they are sworn to serve.
"Brennan and Clapper and others certainly have the right to say what they like," former CIA case officer Daniel Hoffman told RCI. "And their statements protected by the freedom of speech we enjoy in the U.S. are a measure of how concerned they are about this president. But while they get a favorable response from the 'Amen' chorus of Trump opponents, we should also consider the risk they are taking of feeding Trump's speculation they were partisan officials who sought to do him harm."
These sources outline what many in Conservative media have claimed for quite some time. Brennan and Clapper have been using their security clearances to try and overthrow Donald Trump. They have partnered up with the Mainstream Media and have begun using each other to keep Trump off balance.

Dec 2, 2008 NORTH ATTLEBORO, Massachusetts (Reuters) - U.S. researchers say they have discovered what appears to be the oldest imprint of a prehistoric insect, made while the dragonfly-like creature was still alive. The imprint found at a rocky outcrop near a large shopping center in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, is believed to have been made by an insect about three inches long as it stood on mud some 312 million years ago. "It's not a dragonfly but picture a dragonfly-like body. We're looking at something related, maybe a mayfly. They have the same body plan," said the discoverer, Richard Knecht, a geology student at Tufts University in Massachusetts. "It was a really lucky find," he said.

Q: Why we should go for HTTPS? I have learnt little about https. But was not clear the need of it.
What if i encrypt the data using the most powerful algorithms like RSA instead of sending through a HTTPS zone??
Can someone suggest few points on why we need https??

A: First, RSA is a authentication mechanism, not encryption. AES is an encryption algorithm, probably the one you're thinking of.
Second, HTTPS is well supported and fairly easy to implement, it's also very complete and well audited. There is no good reason that you can't create you're own mechanism based on whatever encryption technology you want, but you'll lose the befits described above.

A:
What if i encrypt the data using the most powerful algorithms like RSA instead of sending through a HTTPS zone??

The user's browser would be encrypting it with the public key provided by the server.
Without HTTPS, that server could easily be a man-in-the-middle attack. Now, you've provided your nicely encrypted, highly sensitive data to the wrong server.

Goodrich Castle01600 890538workHistoric SiteGoodrich Castle stands majestically on a wooded hill commanding the passage of the River Wye into the picturesque valley of Symonds Yat.
Goodrich Castle was begun in the late 11th century, by the English landowner Godric who gave it his name. A generation later the splendidly preserved square keep which still forms its core was added, probably in the time of Richard 'Strongbow' de Clare, Earl of Pembroke and Lord of Goodrich 1148-76. Under King Richard the Lionheart, Goodrich was granted along with the earldom of Pembroke to the famous William Marshal, a great castle builder who may have initiated work on the inner ward. Each of the Marshal's four sons inherited the fortress in turn, the last dying childless at Goodrich in 1245. Thereafter the fortress and earldom passed to Henry III's half-brother, William de Valance, who rebuilt its defences and living quarters in the most up-to-date style.
Goodrich Castle still boasts one of the most complete sets of medieval domestic buildings surviving in any English castle. William's widow Countess Joan frequently stayed here with an entourage of up to 200, entertaining her relations and friends in the most lavish style.
During the Civil War, Goodrich was held successively by both sides, Sir Henry Lingen's Royalists eventually surrendered in 1646 under threats of undermining and a deadly Parliamentarian mortar.
The famous 'Roaring Meg', the only surviving Civil War mortar, has returned to the castle after 350 years. The visitor centre features an exhibition exploring life at the castle from its late 11th century origins until its dramatic fall in 1646, including Civil War artefacts.

Statement on Confederate Monuments
June 29, 2020 / DeeDee
As archivists, there is nothing we take more seriously than preserving history. The history of our state and its people is not found in statues erected to celebrate people and lost causes, but in the brittle paper of bills of sale for enslaved persons, in the diaries and letters of both enslavers and abolitionists, in the memorabilia of civil rights leaders, and in the protest signs of 2020. History is in our state's archives and libraries, not on the courthouse lawn. History is not in what we choose to glorify in stone but in the records left behind by the people who lived it. For too long, many histories were erased in favor of a vision of white supremacy. As our state lowers its flag with its Confederate symbolism, there is still much more work to be done.
We support calls to remove Confederate monuments from our public spaces. They do not teach history; rather, they represent a false narrative that distorts the truth of racial injustice in this country.
The Board of the Society of Mississippi Archivists
(See also: SMA's statement on Black Lives and Archives – June 3, 2020)
June 3, 2020 / DeeDee
We, the board of the Society of Mississippi Archivists, condemn in no uncertain terms the systemic violence perpetrated by police officers in this country against the black community and specifically those actions which recently led to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. As archivists, we work to provide access to history. As archivists in Mississippi, the historic material of which we are stewards is frequently disturbing. Often, it is related to the long violent history of government-sanctioned racism against Black Mississippians in our state, from slavery to lynching to Jim Crow. Our collections contain images of Tougaloo College students being attacked at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Jackson and images of the bodies of murdered Civil Rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in Neshoba County. They contain correspondence, photographs, and speeches of segregationists like Governors Theodore Bilbo and Ross Barnett. It is deeply important to collect this history of Mississippi's troubled past and to continue to ensure access to it. We are wholeheartedly committed to that endeavor. However, as archivists, we realize our place and privilege, many of us at institutions that were formerly segregated, and we acknowledge that archives in Mississippi (and this nation) have failed to provide equal representation and documentation to Black Americans and other communities of color. This is a failure we seek to remedy because the archival record is an essential tool in safeguarding the civil liberties of all. We have a lot of work to do to be trusted to preserve the work, words, and history of the lives of Black Americans. We also must be committed to inclusion in our own archives and stand with Black archivists and archival staff and student workers in our state. One day in the not so distant future, archivists will preserve and provide access to digital images related to the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor as well as video and social media posts of the protests that currently envelop this nation. Our way of advocating for Black people in our communities that continue to endure systemic racism is to actively collect and share their stories and to ensure that researchers and students have access to their voices.
We believe that Black Lives Matter.
