Baby Driver (Sony Pictures) [Movie Review]
By Evan Attard 06/30/2017
Back in 2011, the internet was set ablaze by reports of a lawsuit against the Ryan Gosling film, Drive: wherein a woman from Michigan claimed the film's trailers had misrepresented the experience the movie would provide and that Drive was not, in fact, the exhilarating action romp she had expected. Six years later, the plaintiff can finally rest easy as it seems Hollywood has given her the thrilling getaway driver film she wanted. Fast, boisterous, and endlessly entertaining, Baby Driver is that film, and while it has as many problems as it has car chases, you ultimately won't care about any of them as you'll be too busy enjoying the ride.
Baby Driver follows Baby (Ansel Elgort), a young getaway driver who uses headphones and his own personal soundtrack to drown out the persistent ringing in his ears: a symptom of the tinnitus he acquired in a childhood accident. Elgort's character drives to the beat of his music as he assists in bank heists to pay off a debt to a local kingpin (Kevin Spacey) and quickly finds himself caught between his criminal affairs and incipient love life with young diner waitress, Debora (Lily James). James isn't given much to do outside of interacting with the title character, but she and Elgort have a clear and palpable chemistry that will keep audiences invested throughout. The supporting cast is made up of a bevvy of lively and eccentric felons, portrayed by a captivating collection of actors that includes Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, and Eiza González. Each performer is brilliantly suited to their roles and use the full of their talents, resultantly making the secondary characters feel as authentic and fleshed out as the protagonist himself.
With a resume that includes Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, director Edgar Wright's films are essentially cinematic candy: simple, colourful, and difficult not to enjoy. That said if you don't find yourself entertained by Baby Driver within the first fifteen minutes, the rest of the movie is unlikely to win you over. Every frame of the film is firmly cemented in Wright's signature style and each scene feels painstakingly crafted to the director's vision. The attention to detail on display is genuinely inspiring, with every gunshot edited perfectly in time with the ever-present soundtrack.
With music having been so heavily integrated into the film's marketing campaign, it's shocking that the soundtrack is among the most disappointing aspects of the film. The song selections are largely forgettable, particularly in the action set-pieces, and many fans will likely be dissatisfied with the music, which doesn't quite hold its own against that in Guardians of the Galaxy or Suicide Squad. Most disheartening is Baby Driver's climatic battle, in which Wright seemingly attempts to rekindle the magic he achieved in Shaun of the Dead, here exchanging "Don't Stop Me Now" for a less recognizable Queen classic and the result is unfortunately flat and unmemorable.
The script also has a few notable problems that prevent the movie from being among the best of the year. Many films often feel the need to have their villain inexplicably rise from the dead in order to repeatedly challenge the hero, but Baby Driver takes this cliché a few resurrections too far, with the antagonist's wounds often healing at rates that could rival Wolverine. In typical Edgar Wright fashion, the film is also slow to start but thankfully revs up its engines in the latter two acts. Even then, however, the pacing can feel forced at times, with action sequences being inserted without the support of incredibly strong character motivation or substantial story progression. While the plot and structure are neither flawless nor particularly innovative, Baby Driver never feels predictable and is perpetually brimming with charm.
The combination of Edgar Wright's filmography and early critical buzz set lofty expectations for Baby Driver, which it doesn't always meet. Still, the movie boasts a likeable and unique cast of characters, plenty of thrilling and clever action sequences, and just enough emotional weight to keep you invested. Despite being entirely absurd, nothing ever takes you out of the experience for as much as a second, distinguishing the film from most blockbusters you might see in theatres this summer. Wright is clearly a firm believer in 'film as entertainment,' so despite Baby Driver's flaws, it's difficult to argue that the film is anything but a success after it leaves audiences exhilarated, satisfied, and yearning for more high-octane adventure.

Which team are wewe for?
➸ Where Does The onyesha Rank In Your Favourites?
What's the episode au do wewe remember....?
Ted meets the mother in the train station au during the wedding?
I am tired of the Robin Scherbatsky/Barney Stinson (Cobie Smulders/Neil Patrick Harris) saga. I really am. They have practically dominated Season Seven of CBS's "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" with a romance that seemed to be force-fed kwa the series' creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, in order to satisfy the certain shippers.
upendo is the best thing we do.
It's not upendo if I pick another.
something silly. Forced upon, not kwa destiny.
wewe know it's true. We've chemistry. You're not just a number.
The CBS televisheni series, "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" (2005-2014), ended its nine season run on March 31, 2014. televisheni audiences usually greet televisheni finales either with great satisfaction au with equal contempt. Instead of one au the other, the televisheni series created kwa Carter Bays and Craig Thomas proved to be not only divisive, but also controversial. And romance for the series' main character, Ted Mosby, ended up being the center of that controversy.
We were ready to say goodbye to HIMYM and the gang this season. We were all ready to finally find out who the mother of Ted Mosby's children is. We were waiting for something LEGENDARY. But it looks like we may get another season of How I Met Your Mother to find out! CBS has confirmed that they have renewed the onyesha for one zaidi season this fall. The onyesha was going to come to a close this mwaka as it was doubtful whether au not they could get the entire cast to return. But after negotiating all the contracts, it looks like the whole gang is coming back for one last hurrah!
Robin's doppleganger was not shown on Himym properley but it basically just looked like Robin with cropped hair and a dirty face she was carrying a baseball if I remember correctly and also a checked shati and washed out jeans and old (maybe men's) trainers Barney, Lily, Ted , Marshall and Robin all saw lesbian Robin at the same time it seems according to Season 5 episode "Double Date" she was just casually walking along the mitaani, mtaa and spitting on the floor.
a pop quiz question iliongezwa: Why did Lily give her bridesmaid her 'you're dead to me' look?
a comment was made to the pop quiz question: kwa the end of season 3, how long have Barney and Ted been best Marafiki for?
a pop quiz question iliongezwa: Instead of calling it pot, marijuana au weed, what do they call it?
a pop quiz question iliongezwa: What was the color of the bridesmaides dresses and the groomsmen vests at Punchy's wedding?
a pop quiz question iliongezwa: Who can't talk their way out of a ticket?
Oh wow wewe just got burned phonic style. - Quote by?

Q: nginx proxy_pass do not pass uri My goal is, that the call of domain.com/do/that/ will include the page otherdomain.com/for/that/and replaces a part of that content with ssi & subs filter.
Also, it is important if someone calls domain.com/do/that/for-me, the included page will just request otherdomain.com/for/that and not otherdomain.com/for/that/for-me.
I currently have set up this:
location ^~/do/that/ {
  proxy_pass http://otherdomain.com/do/that/;

  ssi on;
  subs_filter_types text/html;

  set $includeUri "";
  if ( $uri != "/do/that/" ){
    set $includeUri "$uri-parts";
  }

 subs_filter '
' '
' ir;
}

What would be the way to achieve that "ignore" of uri?

A: Already found out the solution:
I just use a var with the static URL and set it to the proxy_pass
location ^~/do/that/ {
  set $staticUrl 'http://otherdomain.com/do/that/';
  proxy_pass $staticUrl;

  ssi on;
  subs_filter_types text/html;

  if ($uri ~* "/do/that/(.*\.html)"){
    set $includeUri "$1";
  }

Mirvac has announced a partnership with clean energy provider, Evergen, to bring an innovative solar offer to future residents of Ascot Green, the $950 million joint development with the Brisbane Racing Club at the Eagle Farm Racecourse.
This pioneering sustainability initiative will see solar panels and batteries installed on the rooftop recreation deck at the nine-storey Ascot House apartment building, connecting directly to a number of apartments, allowing these residents to reduce their electricity bills by up to 70 per cent.
Manager of residential in Queensland, Warwick Bible said that with rising energy prices Mirvac is focused on providing all its residents, either in an apartment or in a house, with the best energy saving options available.
"We are very pleased to be able to offer individual solar energy solutions to apartment residents which will significantly reduce their personal energy bill," he said.
"Brisbane is the ideal location to pilot the ground-breaking sustainability project, given its average of almost 300 sunny days.
The initiative is the brainchild of Hatch, Mirvac's internal innovation program, which uses customer insights to drive innovative ideas in the property space and then brings them to market – from concept through to launch.
Group general manager of innovation Teresa Giuffrida said the project contributes greatly to Mirvac being a pioneer in sustainable initiatives and provides much needed insight into what home owners are searching for.
Stage one of Ascot Green comprises two towers, Ascot House and Tulloch House, each of which contains a selection of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments.
Ascot House is currently under construction with completion scheduled for mid-next year. Apartments at Ascot House are now selling priced from $495,000 to $2.03 million and range in size from 88 square metres to 349 square metres.

IMF Airs Concerns Over Real Estate Loans
Aun Chhengpor
VOA Khmer
FILE PHOTO - Cambodian passengers sit on top of a pickup truck driven past an unfinished building in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Monday, Sept. 3, 2007.
The IMF did not provide a breakdown of the exact share of the country's overall credit balance held by the real estate and construction sectors.
PHNOM PENH —
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) aired concerns last week over the mounting concentration of bank credit in the real estate and construction sectors while projecting the country's annual economic growth at 7.25 percent this year.
"Bank credit, increasingly concentrated in the real estate market and construction sectors, is expected to grow around 20 percent in 2018," said Jarkko Turunen, who led the IMF's team to conduct its annual Cambodia consultation.
"Concerns about credit quality, external funding, increasing concentration in the real estate sector and unregulated lending by real estate developers, and high credit growth and growing systemic importance of microfinance institutions (MFI) continue to pose risks to financial and macroeconomic stability," Turunen added in a press conference in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
Although the central bank had stepped in to ensure financial stability, including encouraging capital conservation buffers, liquidity control schemes, and making partial changes to the loan-provision process, more needs to be done, the IMF expert said.
"This includes effective implementation of past measures, further targeted prudential measures, such as risk weights for real-estate lending, an introduction of a crisis management framework with a deposit insurance scheme, and continued upgrading in regulation and supervision, including for non-bank financial institutions."
Ngeth Chou, an independent financial consultant, echoed the IMF's concerns, saying that oversupply in the real estate sector could lead to a crisis in the future.
"Two things can be done here in general: Firstly, a regulation which means increased controls on loan-providing. Secondly, financial literacy among the populace in managing their assets, resources, and loans to create income," Chou said.
Acleda Bank President In Channy said that he believed the IMF's projection of 20-percent credit growth this year was a moderate figure compared with previous rises. He declined to comment on real estate loan concerns, citing the lack of exact figures provided by the IMF.
In Channy said in 2008 the National Bank of Cambodia capped commercial bank housing loans of more than 15 percent of the total credit in each bank. "For Acleda, housing loans amount to only 8 percent of its overall $3.27 billion credit," he told VOA Khmer.
Yun Sovanna, Executive Director of the Cambodian Microfinance Association, said it is understandable that the "systemic importance" of microfinance institutions "should be paid attention to."
"We're not yet in a 'too big to fail' kind of scenario as a sector. But we acknowledge with MFI total assets of GDP reaching almost 20 percent, [MFIs] have grown to be even more important than they used to be and this requires attention from both a regulatory perspective and by the MFIs themselves," he said.
But the Cambodian Microfinance Association has taken a self-regulatory approach for its members to improve credit quality, including increased repayability assessment, enhanced competition environment, and client protection measures, Sovanna said.
Many families in rural Cambodia have taken microloans over the past several years.
The national bank's director-general, Chea Serey, could not be immediately reached for comment.
The annual inflation rate is forecast by the IMF to stay at 2.5 percent this year -- a figure comparable to that of the estimates of the Asian Development Bank, which revised down last week its inflation estimate from 3.2 percent to 2.6 percent for 2018.

This has been a busy week... full of meetings and emails and appointments and jewelry orders.
Nothing very noteworthy, just very productive.
I didn't even pick up my camera once. All I have is a cell phone snapshot of Lilo. Friday just sort of snuck up on me. In a good way!
What a cute photo of Lilo!
OHH Lilo is so adorable.

Q: how to weigh data according to given distribution Here is what im trying to do:
Given $n$ arbitrary data points $(x_i, y_i)$ and a distribution, say $N(0,1)$. I need to produce output $(x_i, y^*_i)$ such that $y^*_i$ are weighted versions of $y_i$, where the weights are determined by the given distribution and the weights must sum to $1$.
Are there any good algorithms out there that does this?

Next ArticleShort Symptom Duration Is Associated With Superior Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Primary Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review
To determine whether routine capsular closure following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in patients without dysplasia results in improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and increased survivorship rates.
A literature search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was performed using the Preferred Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for clinical studies reporting PROs following arthroscopic hip labral repair for FAI. A quality assessment was performed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies grading system. Inclusion criteria consisted of comparative clinical studies investigating routine capsular closure with nonclosure in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAI and labral tears. Exclusion criteria included non-English language, minimum follow-up of less than 2 years after surgery, technique articles, case reports, noncomparative case series of fewer than 10 patients, failure to report surgical technique, absence of postoperative PROs, or partial repair. Data collection included study characteristics, demographics, indications, radiographic metrics, perioperative findings, surgical technique, baseline and most recent PROs, and subsequent surgeries.
A total of 531 articles were reviewed, of which 3 were included with 249 hips that underwent capsular repair and 157 hips that underwent capsulotomy with no repair. There were 2 Level III studies and 1 Level II study, with an average The Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies score of 16.7. All studies cited FAI and labral tear as an indication for surgery. All studies demonstrated improved PROs from baseline to most recent follow-up. Postoperatively, the repair group reported modified Harris Hip Score values ranging from 80.8 to 87, whereas the nonrepair group reported scores ranging from 76 to 81.7. In addition, the repair group reported postoperative Hip Outcome Score – Sports-Specific Subscale values ranging from 68.1 to 9, whereas the nonrepair group reported scores ranging from 65.3 to 76.1. The studies also reported minimal clinically important difference for modified Harris Hip Score, with the repair group reporting percentages ranging from 71 to 100 and the nonrepair group reporting percentages ranging from 52 to 95.6. All 3 studies also observed a lower rate of hip survivorship in the nonrepair group, ranging from 94.6 to 100 in the repair group and 90.8 to 100 in the nonrepair group. There were no significant differences in the rate of revision arthroscopy between groups.
Patients without dysplasia who undergo capsular repair have greater improvements in PROs and greater survivorship rates at early- and mid-term follow-up than patients who do not undergo capsular repair.
III, systematic review of level II and III studies.


Douglas Jehl writes in the May 19, 2004, New York Times that "Officers Say U.S. Colonel at Abu Ghraib Prison Felt Intense Pressure to Get Inmates to Talk.
"As he took charge of interrogations at Abu Ghraib prison last September, Col. Thomas M. Pappas was under enormous pressure from his superiors to extract more information from prisoners there, according to senior Army officers," Jehl writes. "'He likened it to a root canal without novocaine,' a senior officer who knows Colonel Pappas said of his meetings with his superiors in Baghdad. Often, the officer said, Colonel Pappas would emerge from discussions with two of them, Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast and Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, without a word, but 'clutching his face as if in pain.'"
Col. Pappas also told Maj. Gen. Taguba "that his unit had 'no formal system in place' to monitor instructions they had given to military guards, who worked closely with interrogators to prepare detainees for interviews. Colonel Pappas said he 'should have asked more questions, admittedly' about abuses committed or encouraged by his subordinates."
"The statements by Colonel Pappas, contained in the transcript of a Feb. 11 interview that is part of General Taguba's 6,000-page classified report, offer the highest-level confirmation so far that military intelligence soldiers directed military guards in preparing for interrogations. They also provide the first insights by the senior intelligence officer at the prison into the relationship between his troops and the military police. Portions of Colonel Pappas's sworn statements were read to The New York Times by a government official who had read the transcript."
"The confusion hardly was limited to Abu Ghraib. At the May 11 hearing, [when Taguba] ... testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on his 6,000-page report detailing how American soldiers mistreated Iraqi prisoners, ... [he] firmly disagreed with Stephen Cambone, undersecretary of defense for intelligence, over who was in charge of the prison.
"Cambone testified that a Nov. 19 'fragmentary order' placed the prison under the control of Col. Thomas Pappas, commander of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade. But Cambone said Pappas' control was over the building and grounds, not the activities of the MPs guarding the prisoners.
"Levin then asked if that still was his conclusion.
"Cambone said the military intelligence brigade commanded the Abu Ghraib 'forward operating base,' but the unit's relationship was comparable to that of a building manager.
"'I do not believe that the order placing Colonel Pappas in charge gave him the authority to address MP activities in direct op-con conditions,' he said.
"Air Force Lt. Gen. Lance Smith, deputy chief of U.S. Central Command, said Karpinski's brigade is one of two units in the U.S. military with the specific mission of guarding prisoners in wartime.
"Even if Pappas was placed in charge, it did not give him authority to change the unit's mission, Smith said. ... 'They're trained to a specific task,' Smith said. '[Pappas] can change the priorities for these folks, but they still have to operate within the guidelines and the doctrine that they are trained to. So they are still cops doing cop business.'"
"On the military side, a key focus is Army Col. Thomas Pappas, commander of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade. A controversial order last fall put Pappas in overall charge of Abu Ghraib on Nov. 19. The abuse of prisoners had already begun there, however, and Army Maj. Gen. Thomas Romig, Army judge advocate general, told a congressional hearing last week that the search for culpable officers may encompass others.
"Red Cross inspectors who visited Abu Ghraib in early October 2003 and found many of the abuses that have since come to light spoke to an unnamed military intelligence officer before Pappas took command of the prison. Romig told members of Congress last week, 'Clearly ... we'd like to know who that was.' Red Cross reports are kept confidential to prevent publicity-averse governments from denying the organization access to prisons around the world. Key witnesses are often not named.
"Pappas and his unit have rotated back to their base in Germany. The colonel did not respond to a request for comment through the U.S. European Command and the Army command in Europe."
"Although it was military police who are accused of the actual abuse, Pappas, commander of the Germany-based 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, was given operational control of the prison last year.
"He is accused of failing to ensure his soldiers were properly trained and understood prisoner protections guaranteed under the Geneva Conventions.
"According to the report, several of the military police personnel told investigators that they were encouraged to abuse prisoners by the intelligence personnel under Pappas' command, presumably to break the Iraqis' will and make them more likely to cooperate."
"Pappas was division chief of the Futures Development Integration Center at Fort Huachuca, leaving that position four years ago.
"The center plans and designs the future of the Military Intelligence Corps and develops intelligence concepts and training.
"At some point, virtually every Army intelligence staffer undergoes training at the fort."

Magician Space participates in Art Berlin Contemporary 2015
Art Berlin Contemporary 2015
Artist: Ai Weiwei, Li Jinghu
Dates: 2015.09.17 – 20
Venue: Station Berlin
Marking our first participation at this year's ABC Berlin Contemporary, we are very pleased to present the work of Li Jinghu. Based in the southern city of Dongguan, Li works primarily with sculpture and installation, altering and reworking existing objects and materials accrued in a region renowned as the 'factory of the world' in the Pearl River Delta.
The presentation brings together survey of selected works from his practice, offering a poetic rumination on society, industry, and capitalism – and of the erected boundaries separating humanity from nature. Li's persistent pursuit of capturing a collective depiction of reality in Dongguan finds itself also in the work Waterfall, comprising a collection of found and used Android mobile phones. Each phone has been hacked and altered to loop video footage filmed by the artist of water running from a faucet – an image repeated differently on each phone. At a distance they together suggest the kind of stock photography proliferating on digital screens worldwide as desktop wallpapers, whilst re-presenting and highlighting again the tainted methods of this age in attempting to recreate the splendor of nature.
Powder is a work that reduces a bowl of rice, a beer bottle, a ceiling tile, a goldfish bowl and a fluorescent tube into piles of finely grounded powder. Evoking a mechanical production process in its most basic minimal form, these objects are pulverized in efforts to disrupt the flow of objects relentlessly reproduced in the world. Li Jinghu reverses this process by breaking down their materiality in order to realize a value of equivalence, allowing us to consider once again the physical properties that outline our everyday experiences. Firmly situated in the city of Dongguan, Li's position is a rather obdurate practice that seeks to unravel and expose the complex layers of reality unfolding at the front lines of China's drives towards modernization: with each work he explores the affective potential of materials, working in counterpoint to the rhythm of working life there. To quote art critic Bao Dong, "With the course of modernization as its backdrop, Li's lyricism cannot help but exhibit some nostalgia, but this nostalgia is not aloof or exalted. In Li's world, nostalgia does not come from past tradition or an idealized future. Rather, it is a present reality."
At this year's ABC Berlin Contemporary we are also very pleased to present Ai Weiwei's installation Iron Grass (2014), which appears as a field of cast-iron individual pieces of grass spanning the floor's surface. Forming one modular unit of a vast installation, three blades of grass protrude from a hexagonal base – this singular unit is replicated exponentially in a tessellated formation to fill the space. Although simple in form and individually minuscule, the durability of grass lies in its persistent ability to accrue en-masse even in barren swathes of land. Alluding to the humble, non-descript features of everyday life, the often-overlooked fragile blades of this small, innocuous plant are galvanised by virtuous displays of technical craftsmanship. This artistic gesture is undertaken with an irreverent approach, underscored by a profound joy in double-entendres and puns that extend across a variety of formal languages.

Artificial Intelligence Cyber Attacks Are Coming – But What Does That Mean?
By Jeremy Straub, The Conversation | August 28, 2017
The next major cyberattack could involve artificial intelligence systems. It could even happen soon: At a recent cybersecurity conference, 62 industry professionals, out of the 100 questioned, said they thought the first AI-enhanced cyberattack could come in the next 12 months.
This doesn't mean robots will be marching down Main Street. Rather, artificial intelligence will make existing cyberattack efforts – things like identity theft, denial-of-service attacks and password cracking – more powerful and more efficient. This is dangerous enough – this type of hacking can steal money, cause emotional harm and even injure or kill people. Larger attacks can cut power to hundreds of thousands of people, shut down hospitals and even affect national security.
As a scholar who has studied AI decision-making, I can tell you that interpreting human actions is still difficult for AI's and that humans don't really trust AI systems to make major decisions. So, unlike in the movies, the capabilities AI could bring to cyberattacks – and cyberdefense – are not likely to immediately involve computers choosing targets and attacking them on their own. People will still have to create attack AI systems, and launch them at particular targets. But nevertheless, adding AI to today's cybercrime and cybersecurity world will escalate what is already a rapidly changing arms race between attackers and defenders.
Faster attacks
Beyond computers' lack of need for food and sleep – needs that limit human hackers' efforts, even when they work in teams – automation can make complex attacks much faster and more effective.
To date, the effects of automation have been limited. Very rudimentary AI-like capabilities have for decades given virus programs the ability to self-replicate, spreading from computer to computer without specific human instructions. In addition, programmers have used their skills to automate different elements of hacking efforts. Distributed attacks, for example, involve triggering a remote program on several computers or devices to overwhelm servers. The attack that shut down large sections of the internet in October 2016 used this type of approach. In some cases, common attacks are made available as a script that allows an unsophisticated user to choose a target and launch an attack against it.
AI, however, could help human cybercriminals customize attacks. Spearphishing attacks, for instance, require attackers to have personal information about prospective targets, details like where they bank or what medical insurance company they use. AI systems can help gather, organize and process large databases to connect identifying information, making this type of attack easier and faster to carry out. That reduced workload may drive thieves to launch lots of smaller attacks that go unnoticed for a long period of time – if detected at all – due to their more limited impact.
AI systems could even be used to pull information together from multiple sources to identify people who would be particularly vulnerable to attack. Someone who is hospitalized or in a nursing home, for example, might not notice money missing out of their account until long after the thief has gotten away.
Improved adaptation
AI-enabled attackers will also be much faster to react when they encounter resistance, or when cybersecurity experts fix weaknesses that had previously allowed entry by unauthorized users. The AI may be able to exploit another vulnerability, or start scanning for new ways into the system – without waiting for human instructions.
This could mean that human responders and defenders find themselves unable to keep up with the speed of incoming attacks. It may result in a programming and technological arms race, with defenders developing AI assistants to identify and protect against attacks – or perhaps even AI's with retaliatory attack capabilities.
Avoiding the dangers
Operating autonomously could lead AI systems to attack a system it shouldn't, or cause unexpected damage. For example, software started by an attacker intending only to steal money might decide to target a hospital computer in a way that causes human injury or death. The potential for unmanned aerial vehicles to operate autonomously has raised similar questions of the need for humans to make the decisions about targets.
The consequences and implications are significant, but most people won't notice a big change when the first AI attack is unleashed. For most of those affected, the outcome will be the same as human-triggered attacks. But as we continue to fill our homes, factories, offices and roads with internet-connected robotic systems, the potential effects of an attack by artificial intelligence only grows.

Canada could be about to make corporate 'crime' less criminal — and more lucrative
By Other News Sources on November 28, 2017 • ( Leave a comment )
Patricia Adams: There's no evidence that deferred prosecution agreements enhance anything other than agency budgets.
Canada's SNC-Lavalin Group Inc has offered to buy British engineering and consultancy firm WS Atkins for 2,080 pence per share. Canadian Press.
This article, by Patricia Adams, first appeared in the Financial Post
To deal with corporate crimes such as corruption, our federal government plans to introduce deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) — arm-twisting mechanisms under which corporations agree to pay hefty fines and promise to mend their ways. As the government explains it in "Expanding Canada's toolkit to address corporate wrongdoing," a consultation that is now underway: "Under a DPA, criminal prosecution is suspended on the accused agreeing to fulfill certain requirements including admitting to facts that would support a conviction, paying a significant financial penalty and cooperating with authorities, on completion of which, charges will be withdrawn."
DPAs became popular in the U.S. under the Obama administration, whose Department of Justice converted this seldom-used mechanism into a preferred method of dealing with corporate crime. With a DPA — a plea bargain of sorts — the government avoids costly and time-consuming trials that strain its resources. Instead, companies pony up fines that can reach hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars that government departments get to keep, adding to their ability to pursue other wrongdoers. Corporations also comply by submitting to case-specific conditions, which often involves executives reporting to in-house government "monitors" with vast power over business practices.
DPAs not only suit governments, they also suit corporate managers and directors. Instead of facing a criminal conviction and incarceration, its leaders are relieved of admitting to a crime and are spared a public shaming.
DPAs not only suit governments, they also suit corporate managers and directors
It's win-win for the government and the corporate managers, but a loss for shareholders, who ultimately pay the fine. Shareholders lose even when the company is entirely innocent but, facing the bad press of a protracted trial and the cost of litigation, managers see the expediency of quietly negotiating a settlement. To date, 18 of the Fortune 100 have written a cheque to government agencies. Guilty or innocent, companies now see DPAs as merely another cost of doing business.
This cost of doing business is also a cost to the rule of law, because society loses the ability to strongly deter corporate crime. With the likely downside of bribery being a fine paid by the company, rather than time in jail, executives are likelier to take risks to land lucrative contracts.
The Trudeau government's push for DPAs is born of good intentions, to remedy an earlier mistake, former prime minister Stephen Harper's Integrity Regime, which was also born of good intentions. Under the Integrity Regime, companies convicted of a serious crime stood to be barred from government contracts for 10 years, a manageable penalty for some but a death sentence for companies that relied on government contracts for their existence.
This was the case with SNC-Lavalin, Canada's largest engineering firm, after the RCMP charged it with corruption in 2015, raising the spectre of its demise following a conviction. SNC-Lavalin has since obtained a five-year reprieve. For now, at least, its 45,000 employees retain their jobs, its suppliers and customers retain their business relationships, pension funds and its other investors have their stock values somewhat restored and Canada retains the capabilities of one of the world's leading engineering firms.
Through DPAs, it reasons, companies can be punished and rehabilitated without killing them
The DPA is the Trudeau government's antidote to a too-blunt Integrity Regime. Through DPAs, it reasons, companies can be punished and rehabilitated without the collateral damage that would come of killing them. Yet DPAs have collateral damage of their own in failing to deter crime and, arguably, even in encouraging it: DPAs effectively decriminalize corporate crime by exchanging criminal charges for cash and compliance. Rather than sidestepping the Integrity Regime through DPAs, the Integrity Regime should simply allow for more discretion. The government should focus on punishing the individuals criminally at fault, rather than the company that employs them. The very notion that a legal contrivance called a corporation can be guilty of criminality is suspect — a corporation is merely a vehicle for business that cannot have a guilty mind.
Not surprisingly, the lobby for the DPA is led by SNC-Lavalin, which along with other corporations and corporate lobbies funded the Institute for Research on Public Policy to produce a roundtable report that concluded Canada needs a made-in Canada DPA to match the law in the U.S. and elsewhere. Yet DPAs may not last in the U.S. — they erode deterrence and "undermine the rule of law by depriving the (Department of Justice's) legal arguments of meaningful testing in a judicial forum," as then senator Jeff Sessions, now the U.S. attorney general, stated in expressing a view that may well prevail in the Trump administration.
Neither is there any evidence that DPAs enhance anything other than the budgets of government agencies. Once the Integrity Regime amends its existential threat to companies, no coherent reason remains for deferring the prosecution of wrongdoers.
Patricia Adams is the executive director of Probe International. She will discuss DPAs at Grounds for Thought in Toronto on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 8 pm. Email: PatriciaAdams@probeinternational.org.

Site C risks 'death spiral' for BC Hydro, says watchdog


German authorities have seized a Panther tank along with other military equipment from an elderly man in Heikendorf. According to the BBC, the tank was being kept in the man's cellar (it's unclear how he got it down there in the first place) and required another tank to recover. Over the course of nine hours, 20 soldiers excavated the tank, an anti-aircraft gun, a torpedo, and more.

I am quite sure that this little letter won't make the slightest difference. I am well aware of the fact that my one little policy probably doesn't affect your gigantic company at all and should I move it won't make any difference to you at all. But you do realise that Word of mouth is the best way to get either negative or positive publicity…….in this case you can be certain that it will in fact be very very negative. I don't even know if anybody will actually read this here letter, and if you do, you'll probably be wondering what this stupid silly girl could possibly wish to accomplish. The fact of the matter is that if I don't do something about the fact that I'm unhappy, I have no right to complain about it later. But I'm getting way ahead of myself….let's start at the beginning.
Yesterday I received a letter from you, my insurance company. I have been your client since the beginning of 2006 when I bought my new car. Thus far your service has been excellent, I haven't had one single complaint. Damn, I'm getting ahead of myself again. Anyway, so I received the letter that you sent me stating that my premium will be increasing from the first of January 2008. This I found quite acceptable, as it is the date of commencement of my policy and my annual increases usually take place on this date. The increase was slightly steep, but I wasn't quite worried yet.
My heart attack of the day only came when I turned the page over to take a look at my new "Policy excesses schedule" DAMN!!!!!!! My normal excess had increased with over R5000????what??? this is a mistake right? or so I thought at the time anyway. I mean seriously…how can my excess be almost R7000? I might as well not have any insurance at all.
I contacted the customer service department immediately, this had to be sorted out. She ever so sweetly informed me that it was not a mistake and that the amount in my letter was in fact right. I remained calm…at first anyway. Her reply on my series of questions and statements ranging from "why?", "its ridiculous" and "how the hell do you rationalize an increase of over R5 000 in my excess" was simply that because of the high interest rate, inflation and the fact that the petrol price has increased so much have caused panel beater fees to increase and that is why I have a large increase….but seriously over R5000? You have got to be kidding me!!! It's not as if I am a high risk customer or anything!
I've only claimed from you guys once! and that's when I had a little bumper bashing in July. The costs weren't that high and you were able to recover all the costs from the other dude's insurance. So please tell me…..WTF??????
This letter is merely my means of letting you know how upset I am. How betrayed I feel and to let you know that I am already making plans to move insurance companies. My broker is already obtaining quotes on my behalf. And be sure that under no circumstances will I ever advise anyone to buy their insurance policy from you.
I'm with you on this one. Change your policy. The sad thing is that few people actually take the time to read their policy docs properly. Most people probably won't even notice the increase until it's too late.BTW – Did u get my email? Hope it helped.
How does the insurance work in SA then? Here, it is compulsory that everyone has insurance and insurance prices go down rather then up providing you have "no claims." But never goes up the longer you are with a company. What a joke!
Ooh..what's the name of the company…go on…throw some name while you're at it?!?Mine only increased by like R30…no, seriously!That whopper R7 000 is HUGE! I'd have thrown my toys out of my cot!Sneaky puff adders!
Talk about taking the piss! I am livid on your behalf. I too believe in reading the fine print after incurred almost R2000 in charges from a gym all becoz i didnt tell them i was not renewing my yearly contract.
What happened to my comment? I left one yesterday! WHO ARE THEY?Name and Shame!

We have now traveled 2200 hundred miles. For 6 days we have shared hotel rooms, bathrooms and the small space of a van, but I am happy to report that we are having a great time.
However, road trips are like childbirth. It can be painful on the way but in the end there is a great reward. There are many ways you can do road trips just like there are many ways you can bring a baby into the world. There are those that are hard-core. In childbirth it would be those who go with the natural method, meaning no drugs, no epidural, maybe even a home birth. It's going to be painful but you will be proud of yourself in the end. For a road trip, the hard-core family would do it all natural. They would not have movies or any electronics in the car. They would interact with road games, possibly singing and definitely camping along the route. They would be very happy with providing the opportunity for bonding and working out conflict. I admire those that practice this method of travel…. But……no, this is not the Jones method.
We survived 2200 miles so far with electronic devices that not only entertain children, but also navigate our path so that our marriage will be spared from me having to read maps. It's the complete epidural of driving and it works great! Movies, music, navigation, computer, Gameboys, books, etc. we use it all. The kids can watch an epic series while Stephen and I have time for great talks. Frequently, we stop the electronic devices and interact, enjoy the scenic beauty, or work out some conflict, but without any hesitation or apology, we travel with technology.
Well, that is the truth. I admit it. That does not take away the thrill of the girls seeing the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, or driving through the smallest town you can imagine in Montana, or experiencing an amazing Midwest thunderstorm, or your children dipping their hands in the Mississippi River for the first time, or seeing the full moon as we crossed the border into Wisconsin, or playing at the largest waterpark in America. Road trips are like childbirth: the experience is amazing, and the drive can be painful, but in the end, it's a defining moment for a family. I feel fortunate to be able to have this life of mine tonight!

Q: Get PixelColor at Top/Left Pos to Change TIme String On Screensaver I was told to edit the program up here, so here is small program that shows what I am trying to accomplish (learn)
I am using the screen.Bounds as you suggested, but the problem is still that the mouse gets it's location only when it is within the form.  Outside of the form the mouse has no clue where it is, and therefore cant tell me the color at its mouse position.
I feel I'm so close to getting this to work...

Ekklesiologi eller ecclesiologi (fra græsk ἐκκλησία og -λογια, kirkelære) er en disciplin inden for kristen teologi og drejer sig om læren om kirken og den kristne menighed.

Ekklesiologien omhandler kirkens rolle som et samfund eller en organisk enhed og forståelsen af hvad kirken er, og hvilken opgave den har, herunder dens betydning for frelsen,  forholdet til den historiske Jesus; desuden ledelse, hierarki og disciplin i kirken samt dens endelige skæbne, hvor ekklesiologien møder eskatologien.

EDW and BI Apps integration is a fun topic. I heard that more and more organizations are facing this situation. The reason is that many people buy the prepackage BI Application even though they already have an enterprise data warehouse.
I found that an interesting thing is that their existing enterprise data warehouse covers many more subject areas specific to their business, but when they touch the data from the ERP or CRM apps, they still would like to use the prepackaged BI Apps applications. The reason is that it saves a lot of their efforts.
Since BI Applications supports the ERP or CRM apps, their BI Application deployment typically supports the horizontal business functions. On the ERP side, it supports back office operations in financial, procurement, order management, and human resource. Their CRM apps supports marketing, sales, and services. However, the core business system may not be using the prepackaged enterprise apps. The data source for the enterprise data warehouse are industry specific or even in-house built systems.
This leads into the following scenario about integrating the EDW and BI Apps. The integration is really about integrating the Vertical data warehouse with the Horizontal data warehouse. Conformed dimension is a key successful factor for this integration.
There are multiple of technical approaches of doing the integration, such as building a cross reference table or directly sharing the logical or physical layers as I mentioned in the prior posts. No matter which technical approach are taken, I think that they should follow some data warehouse conformance process.
Some people just jump directly into the process of comparing the data warehouse schema. It seems both data warehouse has the party dimension. Let's merge them. It seems both has the location dimension. Let's create a cross reference.
I think that it is dangerous to look at the problem in this way. Just because that both data warehouse has something with the name of "Party" does not mean that they are the same thing.
1. What are the business questions you would like to answer via the conformance and integration?
2. What are the data available in each of your systems?
3. Where are the data required stored?
4. Determine the technical approach to integrate.
1. BI Apps collects your people (employee/resource) information from your enterprise apps.
– It may also give your the headcount and reporting structure information.
– The people / resources may have various roles depending on the sets of enterprise apps are deployed.
– It may also provide you the revenue information by major customer related attributes such as geography and industry.
– If financial is being used, you can get the payment and credit information as well.
3. It may have your supplier information if you are using the procurement or Financial payables apps.
The org structure defined for business processing as well the org structure defined for reporting / management reporting are there.
If you have the accounting system, the fiscal calendar will be there.
– It could be the products the organization is selling.
– It can also include the product that the deploying organization is buying.
These of course depend on the nature of the business.

Using a mobile app to put customers in good hands
In the era of digital disruption, big insurers don't just compete against each other anymore. Insurtech startups and the heightened mobile expectations of today's consumers mean traditional insurers must become innovators.
Built partially on Box, Allstate Mobile gives customers the ability to manage all of their insurance options right from their phones and in return gives Allstate the data it needs to serve customers in a more personalized way.
Allstate is enhancing the customer experience and streamlining the claims process by giving customers the ability to autonomously submit automobile accident claims at the scene of an accident, review policies, access quick proof of insurance and even get roadside assistance, all from a single app.
Like companies in virtually every other industry, big insurers are finding their traditional advantages — reputation, trust, brand awareness — are no longer enough in the era of digital disruption. Tech startups have grabbed market share with innovative apps and customer experiences that appeal to a new generation of buyers. Insurance companies have always been information-driven organizations, but the disruption caused by insurtech startups, the ubiquity of mobile devices and the abundance of data available today is pushing forward-thinking companies toward even greater innovation.
One such company pushing the boundaries of the traditional insurance world is Allstate. As Mobile Product Director for Allstate, Mike Antognoli helps build exciting solutions like Allstate Mobile, an app that gives customers the ability to manage their insurance from their smartphones while keeping all of their sensitive data secure and private.
Allstate Mobile lets customers submit automobile accident claims right at the scene, review their policies, access quick proof of insurance and even get roadside assistance (Good Hands Rescue) from the same app. And in some states, Allstate customers are eligible for policy discounts based on their individual driving habits with Drivewise, an opt-in feature of Allstate Mobile that monitors customers' driving and gives them feedback, incentivizing good driving with discounts.
Consumers today expect options that would have been unheard of only a few years ago, and they want to be able to manage these options autonomously, without having to pick up a phone and wait on hold or spend hours dealing with claims. Allstate is designing a paradigm shift in the insurance customer experience, building innovative consumer-facing products on a backbone of modern technology choices.
"If I wait for the future to play out, I'm going to miss out. I have to be shooting toward where it's going to be."
Mike Antognoli, Mobile Product Director for Allstate
A content platform that enables quick consumer-facing innovation
Finding the technology to support such innovative insurance products is Antognoli's job, so when the company was looking to retire a legacy application and integrate its functionality into Allstate Mobile, he sought a content platform flexible enough to grow with the company's needs. "I wanted to make sure I didn't get stuck with a tool that I would have to change again in a few years," Antognoli says. "I wanted to be future-forward."
Still, as visionary as Allstate is in creating transformative digital products for customers, on a practical level, Antognoli has to be concerned with finding technology solutions that integrate with the way the company works today. During his search for a content platform, Antognoli says, "We needed a software provider that could be put into a customer-facing application, but also be able to work in our back office." That meant finding a provider that would work well with the other applications employees at Allstate use every day — and also be cost-effective, compliant and secure. "It had to be a yes-yes, because it was customer-facing," he says. In Box, Antognoli and his team found a partner who could deliver on these core needs and beyond.
"It's important that we're using more modern, more future-forward technology. Box has a unique place in the Allstate ecosystem."

The real value of data exchange for consumers
One of the biggest challenges consumer apps face is how to get customers to download and use them. Consumers can be hesitant to use apps that ask them to share their data. As a company that covers vehicles and homes, Allstate seeks to capture data about driving habits, home inventory, vehicle usage and other data points that can be used to create better products for customers. But "they're not just going to give us data because we ask for it," Antognoli admits.
Instead, Allstate needs to show customers how they are getting value in exchange for their data. That means making mobile experiences that are simple, useful, fun and interactive. Box helps Allstate power core customer-facing features in the app, like photo and video capture. Customers can easily use the app to upload photo proof from an accident or photos of their property as a record for their insurance policies.
"If you think about insurance companies," says Antognoli, "we're the original big data companies, with sophisticated pricing models based on actuarial data. Now, there's a new explosion in data happening for us." All that data — and the ability to use it to create better insurance products for consumers — puts the power squarely in the hands of customers, and requires exceptional customer-facing digital experiences.
"The sooner we turn on these spigots of data, the sooner we can offer our customers better pricing, better coverage and more customization in how they tailor their policies."
Solutions that foster innovation
Beyond the Allstate Mobile app, Antognoli is excited about the way Box offers integrations to support a best-of-breed digital workplace and digital business at Allstate. "I look at the partnerships Box has created with AWS, Microsoft, Slack," he says. "That's all the stuff we use." Knowing that Box already integrates with other technologies Allstate relies on gives Antognoli confidence in the stability and durability of his tech stack moving forward.
He also plans to lean into Box Skills to get more insight into customer products and get heightened value from all the unstructured data Allstate aggregates every day. Because of the way Box offers the promise of ever-growing benefits, "Box has a unique place in the Allstate ecosystem," says Antognoli.
In the midst of Allstate's cloud transformation, the singular focus of all of Allstate's technology decisions will always be the customer experience. "The customer doesn't care what your issues are on the back end," Antognoli concludes. "They just want a great experience. If we can get the customer-facing part right, I'm confident that we can handle the back end."
Transform digital claims
Insurance companies have to modernize the claims process in order to compete in the digital age. Use Box to streamline claims collaboration while ensuring security and compliance.

One in five people or 1.4 billion globally are born with the trait of high sensitivity (sensory processing sensitivity). Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) experience their emotions more deeply and intensely than non-HSPs and they process them for longer. They have high levels of empathy, are deeply compassionate, very intuitive and can pick up on subtleties that others are not aware of. But they can also get affected by environmental and sensory stimuli that others don't notice or are simply not bothered by. (For example, crowds, too much noise, bright lights and overpowering smells.) And if there is too much stimuli, their sensory nervous system can go into a state of overarousal and they can start to feel overwhelmed and frazzled.
Being a highly sensitive parent is a great asset when it comes to raising a child. Their ability to sense and feel into their child's needs at a deeper level is a beautiful gift. HSPs as already stated, can pick up on subtleties that others don't, and they appear to be more sensitive to non-verbal communication and body language. This makes them wonderful parents especially with highly sensitive children. Their parent-child relationship can be intensely beautiful and forged with mutual understanding, awareness and deep connection.
But there is a downside to being a highly sensitive parent. The main one is the lack of space or alone time that is needed by HSPs. If they don't get any, the environmental and sensory stimuli that can negatively affect them can cause overstimulation in their sensory nervous system. If HSPs don't have the quiet time they need or time out in nature to withdraw and recharge, they can end up feeling overwhelmed and frazzled much more quickly. Therefore, it is important for HSPs to talk with their partner about their own needs when it comes to self-care and the trait to find that all important down time.
What if you are a highly sensitive single parent?
If you are an HSP and a single parent, try and get as much support as you can. Asking your own parents to have your child overnight once a week so that you can get some much-needed space and uninterrupted sleep, This will help to bring some balance and time for your sensory nervous system and brain to unwind and relax. If you aren't able to ask family members, enlist the help of a supportive friend so that you take a nap or a walk in nature while they do a spot of childminding.
THE BENEFITS OF MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS IF YOU ARE A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PARENT.
Practicing meditation and/or mindfulness are highly effective ways to prevent or reduce overaurousal. Mindfulness helps HSPs to be present in the NOW because it can stop their overactive minds. And just twenty minutes of meditation daily can bring back a sense of balance, harmony and relaxation within. Even five minutes can make a difference!
Mel Collins is an Author, Speaker, Therapeutic Counsellor and Healer based in Devon. Her book 'The Handbook for Highly Sensitive People' was published in January 2019 by Watkins Publishing. Before this, she worked for the Prison Service, including eight years as a Prison Governor managing Substance Misuse Services. Being innately sensitive in a challenging prison setting has given her a unique learning experience to develop coping strategies for managing certain aspects of the HSP trait. She has also appeared on the Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2, spoken on BBC Radio 5 Live about HSPs and been featured in the Daily Mail and various magazines.

Two global omics approaches were applied to develop an inventory of differentially expressed proteins and genes in Wig rat, a promising animal model of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The frontal cortex, striatum, and midbrain of Wig rat at 4 weeks of age were dissected for proteomics and transcriptomics analyses. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis detected 13, 1, and 16 differentially expressed silver nitrate-stained spots in the frontal cortex, striatum, and midbrain, respectively. Peptide mass fingerprinting/tandem mass spectrometry identified 19 nonredundant proteins, belonging to 7 functional categories, namely, signal transduction, energy metabolism, cellular transport, protein with binding function, protein synthesis, cytoskeleton, and cell rescue. Interestingly, 10 proteins that were indentified in the present study were also previously reported in studies involving neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, and Schizophrenia. Moreover, some of the proteins identified in the midbrain were involved in synaptic vesicular transport, suggesting abnormality in neurotransmitter release in this region. On the other hand, transcriptomics analysis of combined frontal cortex, striatum, and midbrain by rat whole genome 44K DNA oligo microarray revealed highly up-regulated (28) and down-regulated (33) genes. Functional categorization of these genes showed cellular transport, metabolism, protein fate, signal transduction, and transcription as the major categories, with 26% genes of unknown function. Some of the identified genes were related to AD, fragile X syndrome, and ADHD. This is a first comprehensive study providing insight into molecular components in Wig rat brain, and will help to elucidate the roles of identified proteins and genes in Wig rat brain, hopefully leading to uncovering the pathogenesis of ADHD.

Das Gibson Mansion (das heute als Yolo County Historical Museum dient) ist ein historischer Herrensitz in Woodland, Kalifornien. Er ist seit dem 7. November 1976 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen.

Geschichte
William Byas Gibson kam aus Virginia ins Yolo County und ließ sich an diesem Punkt, der damals außerhalb von Woodland lag, im Jahr 1850 nieder, um Ackerbau und Vierzucht zu betreiben. 1857 kaufte er südlich von Woodland 128 Hektar Land, auf dem sich ein kleines Haus befand. Dieses Grundstück wurde später Mittelpunkt seines 1200 Hektar umfassenden Grundbesitzes. Als seine Familie sich vergrößerte und ihr Vermögen sich erhöhte, erweiterte er das Haus in den 1870er Jahren mehrfach und baute es in ein Herrenhaus um. Gibson starb 1901, seine Familie wohnte bis 1963 darin. Bis 1975 kümmerte sich niemand um das Anwesen und die umliegenden Ländereien, sodass der Bau langsam verfiel. In dieser Zeit wurde das Haus von manchen zum Geisterhaus erklärt. 1975 gelang es der Yolo County Historical Society, das Haus und einen Hektar des Grundstückes zu erwerben, um es zu renovieren und hier ein historisches Museum für das County einzurichten. Die Yolo County Historical Museum Association wurde gebildet, durch die heute das Museum bewirtschaftet wird. Das Museum ist der Öffentlichkeit an den Wochenenden zugänglich.

Museum
In den Räumen des Gibson Mansions sind Möbel und historische Gegenstände ausgestellt, die aus der Zeit zwischen den 1850er und 1930er Jahren stammen. Wechselausstellungen sind der Geschichte des Yolo Countys gewidmet. Auf dem Gelände besteht außerdem eine funktionierende Schmiede und eine Scheune, in der funktionsfähige historische Holzfällwerkzeuge und landwirtschaftliche Geräte untergebracht sind.
