easy-vcs-status for zsh
=======================

Synopsis
--------

* easy-vcs-status - a zle tweak for easy access to VCS status

Description
-----------

![Screen shot](../master/screenshot1.png?raw=true)

This tweak allows user to pop up VCS status using the completion menu
UI with a key combination (default: `Meta-Shift-S`) whenever you are
on the command line.

VCS status is shown in the completion menu which is scrollable back
and forth.  If you hit enter, the full output is written to the
standard output.  If you hit space, the last shell word on the current
line is pasted into the previous command line as result of the
completion.  Otherwise, the menu simply disappears and user can get
back to normal operation on the command line with the previous input.

How to set up
-------------

A variable defined by `vcs_info` is used to figure out what VCS is
used in the current directory, so `vcs_info` must be loaded and
configured in order for this tweak to work.

Given `vcs_info` is set up, put the file `easy-vcs-status` somewhere
in your `$fpath` and add these lines to your `.zshrc`:

    autoload -Uz easy-vcs-status
    easy-vcs-status

This binds the tab key to `expand-or-complete-or-vcs-status`, a
wrapper of `expand-or-complete` that casts all the magic.

Configuration
-------------

Keys for opening and closing VCS status popups are configurable via
`zstyle` as follows:

    # Use Meta-Control-S instead
    zstyle ":easy-vcs-status:bindkey" open '^[^S'

You can alternatively manually bind a key to the function
`open-vcs-status`.

Commands for showing VCS statuses are configurable via `zstyle` as
follows:

    zstyle ":easy-vcs-status:command" "$vcs" "$command"

For convenient scrolling through a long status output, I strongly
suggest binding keys in the menuselect keymap if you haven't, for
example:

    zmodload zsh/complist
    bindkey -M menuselect '\e[Z' reverse-menu-complete
    bindkey -M menuselect '^V' forward-word
    bindkey -M menuselect '^[v' backward-word
    bindkey -M menuselect '^[<' beginning-of-history
    bindkey -M menuselect '^[>' end-of-history

Costa Rica in April, your Terranova insider\'s Guide.
Leave a Comment / Blogs de clientes, Terranova, Turismo / By Olga Saenz
Costa Rica in April is sunny and full of colors. Many trees bloom, and the jacarandas compete with the Pink Puis to turn the Central Valley into a glorious painting. The country boasts its beauty in this month more than in any other!
Anyone who has toured Costa Rica will say that it is worthwhile to visit at any time of year. And, as it has such a variety of microclimates, it all depends on what you like best; except for the extremes, we got it all!
However, April may be the best month to visit our country as it is simply breathtaking! The weather is perfect; it is the season for chicks to get out of their nests and learn to fly. A busy time in the wilderness. And, if you are lucky enough, you may even get the first rains of the season and see life coming back in many areas!
And although the peak tourist season begins when the dry season begins, which also coincides with winter break and New Year\'s. The other peak season also coincides with the end of the beginning of the rainy season. Semana Santa (Easter Week) is the other busiest time of year as Latin Americans, including Costa Ricans, take vacations to travel. And for the US and Canada, it is spring break.
April will still be active, but it is quieter than the holiday season. Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is an event that typically occurs in April. It is the week preceding Easter Sunday filled with religious processions and celebrations.
So! If your holidays for 2023 (The first week of April next year) are on this week, now you know you better call your Terranova Travel Designer right now as hotels fill up incredibly fast!
If you\'re looking for warm weather and a place with beaches, adventure, and the attractions of a tropical vacation, April in Costa Rica has a lot to offer.
However, it\'s vital to be mindful of some things because the high season is full swing.
Let\'s talk about seasons here:
Agriculture:
Wildlife Sightings in Costa Rica in April:
General Birds:
Costa Rica in April – Tourism:
Surfing:
To wrap it up:
This post belongs to Terranova DMC. It appears on http://www.terranova.co.cr/
We don\'t have seasons as the temperature doesn\'t change much, as you may already know. Mainly the changes apply to if it is raining or not.
April is one of the months when the whole country is in a sunny period. And although it will vary from one place to the next according to region, height above sea level, wind, and other variables, April is a very friendly month to come to Costa Rica.
Keep in mind that the temperature in the tropics is uncertain, so there might be some cold and wet or rainy days in April.
Nevertheless, it also is the hottest month of the year, with temperatures regularly reaching the mid-\'90s. Fortunately, Costa Rica\'s coasts are a wonderfully refreshing antidote to the interior\'s steamy heat.
Of course, it is essential to realize that because of its geographical location and the many mountains there are over 5000 feet above sea level, you will find that except for the coastal regions and the Northern lowlands, almost all of Costa Rica has delightful weather with an average temperature of 71°F (22°C).
Let\'s look at some additional elements of April in Costa Rica:
In April, mangos are beginning to appear in the trees. They can be eaten with salt and lemon; it\'s a treat!
Strawberries, cantaloupes, guavas, watermelons, rambutan, and tamarind are in season, as are star and passion fruits.
It is the end of the sugar cane season; some heavy and bulky sugar cane loaded trucks may be on some North and Pacific roads.
Trees are in bloom! Jacarandas, Pink Puis, Yellow Cortes, Royal Poinsettia, and African Tulips. Star Fruits and passion fruits are in season.
You may find other fruits in the fruit stands on the road and in supermarkets, cantaloupes, watermelons, guavas, strawberries, rambutan, and tamarind.
Obviously does not operate as a zoo; sightings are based mainly on chance. However, many animals in Costa Rica can be seen all year, including sloths, monkeys, coatimundis, and over 600 species, including 50 types of hummingbirds and six types of toucans.
It is important to note that Costa Rica accounts for over 900 species; however, migratory birds are already flying back home in April.
Turtles come to Costa Rica by the millions, literally speaking. However, and unfortunately, April is not the best time to spot them. If you are fortunate, you may see one of the enormous leatherback sea turtles, the biggest in the World, on the Caribbean coast. Either in Tortuguero or Gandoca, in the South. However, these are sporadic sightings.
You can see them all year long. Several species, including bottlenose and spotted dolphins, can be seen throughout the year, so you have a good chance of seeing them.
Depending on where you are staying there are several catamarans and sailing boats so the chance to see big schools of dolphins are high. Ask your Terranova Travel Designer about the best places to see dolphins.
The best places to go dolphin watching:
Tamarindo and surroundings.
Drake Bay
Golfo Dulce
Golfo de Nicoya
Dominical (Parque Marino Ballena)
Caribbean: Limon and South Caribbean
*Some lucky people have seen dolphins in the Tortuguero Canals
Costa Rica is the winter place for the Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whales, and so, April is not a good time to see them. (Their winter is July, August, September). However, you may be quite lucky and spot some of the California Whales that come to Central America looking for warmer waters. Not usual in April, though.
In April, Monteverde and Savegre and other high regions of the mountain ranges will be visible. It is the moment of the year when species are mating and looking for eggs and young. The mating dances and songs are in full swing, and the feathers and noises can be spectacular.
Species that migrate
The 252 migratory bird species are already flying back North, and our forests seem to miss some of the many mixed flock members that are noticeable in the sunny season.
It\'s a great time to go bird watching because March is nesting season, and April is juvenile. They emerge from their nests and can be seen flying for the first time in various locations, using their brand-new wings.
The remaining bird species can be seen all year.
Costa Rica is habitat to six different toucan species. Keel-billed toucans, as well as Black and Keel Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibuled Mandibu The Emerald Toucanet can be found in high elevations like Monteverde.
The golden Eared Toucanet is hard to spot. They are visible all year. The black-mandibled toucan and the keel-billed toucan are relatively common sightings along the Caribbean Coast and in the northern area. They can also be seen in mountain areas such as Monteverde and Turrialba. Collared Aracaris can be seen in these lowlands, despite not being found in the highest elevations.
Costa Rica\'s Central and South Pacific are home to fiery-billed Aracaris. Yellow-eared toucans and Emerald Toucanets can be found in the mountains of Guanacaste, near the Caribbean and Monteverde.
They can be observed in the Tortuguero Canals, but they are uncommon.
Due to the conservation of National Parks and reserves and the pandemic, the number of persons permitted to visit some of these locations can be pretty limited.
And if you are driving it is important for you to know that there are already many National Parks that are not selling their entrance tickets on-site, but online, so it\'s a good idea to keep this information in mind and discuss it with your Terranova Travel Designer.
In April, Costa Rica is visited by cruise ships. This is important to know if you intend to visit the Crocodile Safari in Tarcoles River, Carara National Park, the Pacific Aerial Tram, Monteverde Reserve in the Monteverde area, or Hanging Bridges, Coffee Tour.
Many people will also be in Monteverde, Arenal, Tamarindo, and Manuel Antonio. Tour operators and tour companies are ready for this, and it\'s all well structured in general.
And in the area of the Caribbean, some of the adventure sites like ziplines, tubing, or kayaking may be crowded on cruise days.
The towering and constant waves are generated by cold winter fronts pressing into the Caribbean from January to April. To enjoy the benefits of the waves in Costa Rica, Salsa Brava is at its peak in Puerto Viejo, in the South Caribbean.
Please get in touch with your Terranova Travel Designer to discuss the best dates to travel to Costa Rica, relying on your dreams, desires, and needs.
If you want to get away, coming to Costa Rica in April is a beautiful idea because it will offer some warm sunny rays and allow you to relax in the exotic destinations that the country provides. And although it is high season is not considered peak season.
Places will have a constant flow of people on the trails and the beach and the hotels and lodges, but the weather is breathtakingly beautiful.
Ask your Terranova Travel Designer to create a perfect itinerary for this sunny month in Costa Rica.

Bill. Thanks for your expert advice on the custom Chimney Chase cover with the two Chimney Caps. The product is excellent and your service is the best a person can get. I had a perfect fit with the "extra-large" chase cover. I am pleasantly pleased. I would recommend you and your company whole-heartedly.
Thanks for the superior service. I ordered a 6" liner, support and cap for my flue. Talked with Bill two times. He was very punctual in returning phone calls and most kind in helping. Shipping was also timely and arrived in good shape. Thanks again would definitely do business again.
I was very impressed with this company. I called with questions relating to a new chimney liner and one of their employees spent 30 min with me addressing everything I needed, ensuring we got exactly what I needed for my set up, and provided details on how to get everything just right as I installed everything myself. Quick delivery and great prices compared to other dealers. I will absolutely go back to them in the future!
I was ready to purchase a new pellet stove when a local shop told me my issue was my vent pipe and improper venting and not my pellet stove. I got two quotes from businesses at $1750.00 amd $1670.00 to install a new flex pipe liner and cap with a new tee assembly. I looked online at prices for flex liner kits and found Fireside. I was blown away by how much lower their kit prices were. I was then blown away by their customer service. I made a mistake when ordering and got the basic kit instead of the Kit that had the Tee assembly. I ended up going to a local shop to get the Tee I needed as I could not wait to get this pellet stove working again after a $400.00 electric bill from December. From start to finish dropping the liner and hooking up the stove and putting the new cap on took 2 hours. My pellet stove is working as it has never before teaching me the lesson of proper venting for a pellet stove!!! I am so thankful to Fireside for their quality product,shipping and customer service. Thank you for making me toasty warm again!! 10 stars!!!!!!
Thank you for all the help on measuring, the chase cover and cap fit perfectly! I am very pleased and hopefully never have to replace that again!! Excellent service and excellent product!
My backyard project is not finished but I wanted to share some pictures.
A photo of the finished project. Tomorrow I remove the scaffolding which is three feet above the roof. I took the picture while standing on the roof peak about 20 feet back. Thanks again for your patient help!
Just wanted to follow-up with the Napoleon EPI 1402P fireplace insert I purchased and installed earlier this year. The chimney liner was the most difficult part of the installation, getting the end from oval to round to fit the adapter, but I finally got it. Now that we're in our winter months, where before I would burn a wheelbarrow full of wood each evening, would smoke up the house, and wouldn't really put out much heat. With the new insert, I actually turned off the gas furnace. Using the air control, we open it while getting a fire going, but cut it down to a minimum to slow down the burn. We only burn a small bundle of wood each evening, it doesn't smoke up the house at all, and it keeps our 2200 sq ft home a warm toasty 75 - 82 degrees all night. Also, this unit with the gold doors really made for a beautiful addition to our home. Thanks again for all your help with the selection of such a nice unit. Our whole family really loves it.

Cheap Los Angeles Hotels Price Discount
$155 and also upFor a 92-year-old resort, the Hotel Figueroa is extremely "on trend," as marketing experts like to claim. It was constructed by the Y.W.C.A. as an exclusively female hostelry a place where solitary women, consisting of aspiring starlets, might stay without fear of the Harvey Weinsteins of the globe. The Figueroa supposedly also provided the USA its first female hotel manager: Maude Bouldin, a motorcyle-riding tour de pressure.
Then the long decline of midtown Los Angeles took a toll. By 2014, when brand-new proprietors started a $60 million deluxe revamp, the hotel had a Morocco-by-way-of-Sweden motif (do not ask) as well as was satisfying discount German tour teams. The remodelling, which was completed previously this year, leans right into the Figueroa's feminist background, with art work from local female artists on the walls and also common areas created to host women-centric "salons."The Fig, as residents know it, sits nearby from L.A.
. The Grammy Gallery is likewise located there. Midtown stretches in the contrary direction, using the gentrified food lover temple Grand Central Market as well as the restored Cinema at Ace Hotel, which holds indie bands and screens art movies. The cavernous Flower Market to the south is eye-popping and only fees $1 admission on Saturdays.
Priced at $359.20 for a Saturday evening in early November, not consisting of tax, our "classic queen" area on a top floor seemed like a storage room, and the sight was mostly of a wall surface. A kindly equipped minibar used up many of the real storage room, leaving no space for a traveling bag.
(My companion, Joe, sardonically kept in mind that the room did feature two prophylactics, however.) The thermostat seemed to have a mind of its very own, which made me bloodthirsty. On the bonus side, there was a basket of free treats Oreos, Red Vines and the bed was comfortable. The space was additionally really quiet.
The bare wall surfaces appeared like incomplete cement and also among both lighting fixtures alongside the mirror was missing; a bare light bulb simply dangled there. Activating the shower needed the navigation of 2 counterproductive bars, and also it was so dark in that corner of the restroom that it was difficult to inform which bottle was hair shampoo and also which one was body clean.
Bouldin!Before dinner, we picked up beverages (a martini for Joe and also a cucumber mint lemonade for me) at Rick's, a charming indoor-outdoor lounge. As "Juicy" by the Well-known B.I.G. used the stereo, we by a crackling fire place as well as admired the huge, 50-year-old cactuses lining the hotel's coffin-shaped pool (Cheap Los Angeles Hotels Price Discount).
Our web server, Christopher, patiently addressed my 700 concerns about the little plates and "pintxos" on the menu. We inhaled the fried kale lollipop with dill crme frache ($10) and plaything box squash with avocado and also olives ($14) prior to relocating on to meals, including deep-fried poultry with a barbequed peach and jalapeo salad ($29) spicy and scrumptious, even if the fruit was inedibly unripe – Cheap Los Angeles Hotels Price Discount.
We purchased room service using an iPad perched on the nightstand and also were provided a 35-minute wait time. It took an hour and 14 mins for our basic order of coffee, yogurt and also a pork, egg and cheese sandwich to arrive. The web server shrugged when I whined as well as explained that the pointer was already consisted of.
Pets are welcome to remain with their owners for a $50 cost.

Alyssa Powell/Business Insider When you're a Los Angeles-based amusement and way of living journalist like me, you usually locate yourself at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills – Cheap Los Angeles Hotels Price Discount. That's due to the fact that the resort is popular as one of the very best seen-and-be seen areas for a working browse through not to discuss a power lunch or dinner in community.
Yet it's not all stiff company and also rule. As a 4 Seasons, the resort rates to households and tourists of all kinds seeking the consistency of a distinguished international luxury chain. Certainly with the passing celeb as well as bold-faced name, it's likewise fantastic for people viewing. I count myself fortunate to call it something of a 2nd home in community.
I'll always remember the time I checked out with my other half for a staycation when I was nine months expecting, or more just recently, over the cheery holiday when the common spaces were festooned with flower and also decor installments from celebrity flower designer Jeff Leatham. Therefore, it's not a surprise it made our checklist of the best hotels in Los Angeles for 2020. Costs for entry-level rooms here begin in the $400s, according to on-line search results at the time of publication.
On my recent Christmas keep, I remained in a mid-tier Deluxe Veranda King space, which was comped for evaluation objectives, but usually books for $595. I have actually constantly seen basic areas, which are actually bigger, as well as with a reduced rate factor. Unless you're traveling with household or planning to entertain in-room, in my experience, a standard-sized area is the very best value for first-class accommodations that are large, extravagant, and prime for people-watching.

Lady Parts Justice/Abortion Access Front
It's impossible to be free if one's personal medical decisions are made by the government, and defending women's bodily autonomy is a politically fraught matter. People who are willing to step out boldly, unashamed and unwilling to be intimidated, are rare because the cost for doing so is incalculable. Lizz Winstead is such a leader, and her work to preserve and expand reproductive health services that include abortion inspires us. Lizz and thousands of volunteers support the health care providers who are under constant threat of being shut down by restrictive laws. The organization recently changed its name (check out their website for the history of Abortion Access Front, formerly Lady Parts Justice) to be crystal clear that they are a force for abortion access.

Q: Round the number to its nearest base 10 number I want to get the nearest base 10 number (ex. 10, 100, 1000) called new_n of the input n. For example, 99 gets 100 (not 10), 551 gets 1000 (not 100).
What I try is using np.log10 to extract the power of the input number n and use it to power 10
import numpy as np

n = 0.09
new_n = 10**(int(round(np.log10(n))))
print new_n

n = 35
new_n = 10**(int(round(np.log10(n))))
print new_n

n = 999
new_n = 10**(int(round(np.log10(n))))
print new_n

n = 4655
new_n = 10**(int(round(np.log10(n))))
print new_n

> 0.1
> 100
> 1000
> 10000

The problem is the number such as 35 its np.log10(n) (which I expect to use as power) is 1.544068 and its rounding is 2. So the result is 100instead of 10. Or the result of 4655 is 10000. How to round the number to the nearest base 10 number?

A: Add a check back in the linear space (with a possible correction) after obtaining the exponent:
n = np.array([0.09,35,549,551,999,4655])
e = np.log10(n).round()
#array([-1.,  2.,  3.,  3.,  3.,  4.])

So, is the number closer to the "rounded" answer or to the previous degree of 10?
new_n = np.where(10**e - n <= n - 10**(e - 1), 10**e, 10**(e - 1))
#array([  1.00000000e-01,   1.00000000e+01,   1.00000000e+02,
#         1.00000000e+03,   1.00000000e+03,   1.00000000e+03])

A: You can achieve what you want by scaling your numbers before taking the logs. Multiply each value by sqrt(10) / 5.5 and you should get the results you want:
n = np.array([0.09,35,549,551,999,4655]) # borrowed test values from @DYZ
multiplier = np.sqrt(10) / 5.5
results = 10**np.log10(multiplier * n).round()
# array([  1.00000000e-01,   1.00000000e+01,   1.00000000e+02,
#          1.00000000e+03,   1.00000000e+03,   1.00000000e+03])

A: You can try this one:
import np
new_n = 10**(np.floor(np.log10(n)-np.log10(0.5)))

Original report
Determinants of return to work following non life threatening acute orthopaedic trauma: a prospective cohort study
Fiona J Clay, Stuart. V. Newstead, Wendy. L. Watson , Roderick. J. McClure
Objective: To determine factors associated with return to work following acute non-life-threatening orthopaedic trauma.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Participants: One hundred and sixty-eight participants were recruited and followed for 6 months. The study achieved 89% participant follow-up.
Methods: Baseline data were obtained by survey and medical record review. Participants were further surveyed at 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months post-injury. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between potential predictors and first return to work by these 3 time-points.
Results: Sixty-eight percent of participants returned to work within 6 months. Those who sustained isolated upper extremity injuries were more likely to return to work early. Significant positive determinants of return to work included a strong belief in recovery, the presence of an isolated injury, education to university level and self-employment. Determinants associated with non-return to work included the receipt of compensation, older age, pain attitudes and blue-collar work. The primary reason given for return to work was financial security.
Conclusion: Demographic, injury, occupation and psychosocial factors were significant predictors of return to work. The relative importance of factors at different time-points suggests that return to work is a multifactorial process that involves the complex interaction of many factors in a time-dependent manner.


Last month, Tesla announced it was opening its first Boston-based store in the Shops at the Prudential Center.
The Prudential Center store is slated to open to the public on Friday. But Tesla also confirmed for Boston.com that it plans to open two other locations in the Greater Boston area. The first store will open next month at the Derby Street Shoppes in Hingham. Tesla is targeting a second store location in Chestnut Hill to open at a future date.
Tesla spokesperson Alexis Georgeson says it makes sense for Tesla to expand its presence in the Boston market.
When customers visit the store, they will be able to learn more about electronic vehicles and customize their own Model S electric sedan. Customers can even test the Autopilot on a Model S, a feature that allows the car the drive itself.
Tesla does not consider itself a car dealership, instead highlighting advanced electric car technology. Locating the company's newest stores in shopping centers is key to the company's commitment to "reinventing'' the car-buying experience for consumers.
"Traditionally, we put our stores in high foot-traffic locations like malls and shopping centers where we can educate people on electronic vehicle technology,'' said Georgeson.
She also points out that the location is not the only way the electric carmaker distinguishes itself from conventional car dealers. She says the experience for consumers is low-pressure, does not involve haggling, and can be completed from home if desired.
Tesla's presence in Massachusetts currently includes stores in Natick and Dedham and a service station in Watertown.

Football Fundraising - A Better Way to Trash Talk
Photo Credit: Seattle Children's Hospital
On January 19, 2014, the Seahawks beat the 49ers to win their way into the Super Bowl. Now, I'm not a fan of either team (Go Pack Go!), but I was impressed when I heard about the pranks being pulled between teams. First, some Seahawks fans hired a plane to fly over Candlestick Park with a taunting banner. Excess money went to the Wounded Warrior Project. Then, 49ers fans retaliated via a billboard that said: "Got Lombardis?" Excess funds from this prank went to the Seattle Children's Hospital.
Photo Credit: UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital
Finally, leading up to the big game last Sunday, it was an all-out battle. Seattle and San Francisco competed to see which fan base could donate more money to a nonprofit in the opponent's city. 49er fans went nuts trying to get more donations for the Seattle Children's Hospital than Seahawks fans could for the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. In the end, both teams and hospitals won. Seattle raised over $75,000 for San Francisco's hospital, while San Francisco raised almost $35,000 for their rival's. In addition, an anonymous fan promised to match donations, and then the 49ers and Seahawks organizations announced their matches as well. That $100,000 in fan donations has now become over $400,000! That's a win!

A troubled social worker finds solace in the tall tales of a welfare fraud.
London has never seemed so depressing. As presented by British second-novelist Murr (The Boy, 1998), the city is a rain-soaked heap of estate flats, sanitariums, and pubs populated mostly by the wretched, irredeemably sarcastic, or those on the verge of insanity. Daniel Mulvaugh is the tortured soul at story's center, a social worker who seems to be drawn to his work through some self-flagellating sense of despair and regret over his poorly lived life. Throughout, he's haunted by memories of how he never truly let his mother feel his love before her death, how he essentially abandoned his childhood friend, and how he might have driven his wife, Sally, to the nervous breakdown she's currently recovering from. The only thing providing him with a modicum of stability is, oddly enough, a stranger. Amos is an old man who's been receiving fraudulent welfare checks ("the king's shilling," as he grandiloquently refers to it) and living in the old estate flat where Daniel grew up and his mother died. Determined at first to expose Amos, Daniel is quickly sucked in by the man's stories of his youth, his years in the merchant marine, and an impossibly operatic, tragic and action-filled account of love, loss, and murder. Murr's narrative swings from place to place—from Daniel's office (where he actually tries to care about the plights of the wrecked souls who come before him) to the pub where he and his co-workers hang out, then on to Amos's flat and Sally's room at the sanitarium. Murr's prose, meantime, is full to bursting with ripe, powerful imagery, and he has an almost uncanny sense for the mechanics of group conversation.
But because things keep coming back to Amos's story, The Genius of the Sea never, for all the psychoanalysis going on, quite gets a bead on Daniel.

The Paris Transportation System
Metro, Trains, Taxis, Buses and Boats
The Paris Transportation System is an integrated network of:
Paris Metro
Paris Trains RER
Paris Taxis
Paris Buses
Paris Boats
Regional Airports, or by train from another European destination, you will find the Paris Transportation System provides a variety of ways for getting you in and around the city.
The public transportation system of Paris is efficient, convenient and reasonably priced.
It consists of four networks, inter-linked to provide access to every area of the city and on to the surrounding suburbs.
The underground metro is the heart of the system within Paris proper. It is efficient and relatively inexpensive with stations of varying sizes from the vast labyrinth of Les Halles to the simple stop of Alma Marceau.
The metro seamlessly interacts with the vast system of buses, allowing access to the most remote of the city's quarters.
More widely spread through the City are the stations of the RER providing transportation to the suburbs surrounding Paris.
These networks are the:
Metropolitan, or Metro
The RER has 5 train lines that service the city as well as the surrounding suburbs. The RER will bring you in from outside Paris and will take you quickly across town.
It connects with the Paris Metro system, a network of 14 lines with nearly 300 stops so you are never more than 500 meters from a station.
On the streets, the Paris Bus system consists of 266 lines serviced by over 4,000 buses.
The Tramway system has four lines. The newest line, T3, opened in December, 2006. T4 opened in November, 2006.
Within the city limits of Paris Transportation, the same ticket is used by all four of these systems. Tickets can be purchased at Metro and RER stations, on the Bus, or at all of the tobacco shops around the city.
Single-use tickets are available either individually or in packets of ten, called a carnet ("car-nay"), which costs less than ten tickets sold individually.
For door to door Paris Transportation, Paris has 15,900 licensed Taxis.
For sight-seeing, there are two bus services, distinctive in that they use double-decker buses, the top deck being open-air, which on warm days makes for a pleasant way of seeing the city.
There are also companies that offer Boat Cruises up and down the Seine river. These offer commentaries on the many sights along the way. The Bateaux Parisian also offers lunch and dinner cruises.
You can also take a water-taxi that has eight stops along the river, called the Batobus.
Paris boasts over 100 kilometers of bicycle lanes, not including the lanes in the two largest parks, the Bois de Boulogne bordering the western edge of the city and the Bois de Vincennes on the eastern edge. Bicycle rentals can be made at a number of locations. Hourly, daily or weekly rentals are available.
And, of course, there is walking. That's where we come in.

Movie Ticket Average Outlays Increased 2.1% In Q3 To $8.25

Consumers dug deeper into their pockets to pay for movie tickets in Q3 — averaging $8.25, up 2.1% vs the same period in 2014, according to data out today from the National Association of Theatre Owners. That makes this the third consecutive quarter with price increases, for a year-to-date average of $8.34.
But the increase in the three months ending in September was comparatively modest: Outlays are rising generally to account for price hikes, as well as growing interest in premium-priced venues with plush seating, 3D and large screens. The NATO figure divides attendance by box office revenues — which, at about $2.6 billion, were up 5.8%.
The increase in ticket outlays was lower because theaters had fewer 3D and Imax hits than they did last year. This summer three of the top 10 films — Ant-Man, Jurassic World and Terminator Genisys — were out in 3D and Imax versions, and one, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, was in 3D.
By contrast, last year four of the top 10 were in 3D and Imax — Guardians Of The Galaxy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Hercules — and The Maze Runner was in 3D.
Remember that the NATO figure represents the average outlay for all theaters and times, not just the prices for blockbusters at big-city venues on weekend nights.
The $8.25 average outlay is 5.2% higher than 2013, and 7% higher than 2010.

My name is David Rotenizer and I am the site manager of the Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex (GCMAC) in Moundsville, West Virginia. I have held the position for one month shy of three years. Archaeology has been an important part of my life since 1978, though mostly in the field. My current position is particularly important to me because it helps with what I feel to be one of the field's most important functions – to share the fruits of archaeology with the public. Before proceeding with my day in the life perspective, I need to present a little background on where I work.
GCMAC is a seven acre archaeological park featuring the Grave Creek Mound. We are a historic site operated by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. It is called a complex because we consist of three separate, but related components: mound, museum, and research facility. The Grave Creek Mound is one of the largest known conical earthen burial mounds associated with the Adena culture and has been dated to around 250 – 150 BCE.
The Delf Norona Museum is a modern 25,646 square foot facility that opened in 1978. It features various exhibit galleries, a 136-seat auditorium, an activity room for educational programs, and a gift shop. Outside on the grounds is one of our newest "exhibits" – an interpretive garden.

We are open seven days a week, but to the public for six. We currently have a staff of five full time employees and are blessed to be supported by a small group of dedicated regular volunteers.
My day actually began the evening before when we hosted our monthly lecture and film series program. June always features a presentation and tour of the interpretive garden. A typical day usually starts out with ensuring the facility is ready to be visited by the public starting at 9 a.m. You want to make sure the lights are on, doors unlocked, restrooms are acceptable, trash emptied and if need be the glass doors and display cases cleaned and to check floors that may need to be swept or vacuumed. The cash register in the gift shop is made ready and items stocked if needed. Due to our limited staff everyone must wear different hats to keep the facility operational. We all help each other.
Throughout the day, I spend a lot of time on the computer checking and responding to e-mails, and on phone calls. During the day I also check with the different staff members to keep abreast of what they are working on and to provide whatever support they might need. Today I spent time working on submitted bids for annual maintenance of the mound and preparing supply orders, and reviewing gift shop inventory, to be ready when the new fiscal year starts on 1 July. I was in communication with the Native American Studies Program at West Virginia University which will be bringing a class of volunteers to assist us in the lab in a few weeks – lots of last minute details to finalize. A team from state technology services was here to help with the installation of a server to back up the records and files of the research facility. I was in contact with the agency's State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) education and planning coordinator to discuss ideas for West Virginia Archaeology Month held in October. In August the street in front of the facility will be closed for several days due to a Veteran's Wall project and I needed to respond to a request that had come in for use of our property to host a first-aid tent.
During the day I helped to greet visitors who arrive, and provide a brief orientation for them. It is always interesting to meet folks and learn where they are from – amazingly from all over the U.S. and lately Canada and Germany. It is equally interesting to listen to their questions and their experiences and perceptions of archaeology. Time was spent running the cash register in the gift shop. Archaeological publications and gemstones/minerals are our best sellers. When I restocked the brochure rack I noticed we were almost out of our Cahokia Mounds brochure and called there to order more. I had to make a daily run to the post office to deliver and pick up our mail as well as make trip to the bank to deposit funds from gift shop sales and fee-based educational programs. I walked the property to ensure everything was in good order. The men's public restroom had to be briefly closed while I gave it a special cleaning. An artifact was brought to my attention for interpretation.
At the end of the day I close out the cash register and prepare a daily revenue report and then we go through the process of closing and securing the facility. Like all of the positions here, no two days are the same. It is always a matter of multi-tasking and dealing with the issues at hand. All the same, we are part of the global archaeological community doing our part to interpret, preserve, and protect the past for present and future generations.

BCC releases 6-episode web TV series of never-before-seen interviews and behind the scenes footage in the studio.
Los Angeles, CA, September 19, 2012: Black Country Communion, the English-American rock band named "Best New Band of the Last 10 Years" (VH1 Classic's That Metal Show) and featuring the talents of bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze, Black Sabbath), blues rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), will release their third studio album Afterglow (J&R Adventures) on October 30, 2012.
http://bit.ly/PEdsSJ and receive the album by street date.
BCC has announced their only concert of 2013 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England on Saturday, January 5, 2013.
For more information and tickets, visit Planet Rock (www.planetrock.com) which will launch an exclusive 48-hour ticket pre-sale on Wednesday Sept. 19.
Ed - Please note: Sorry folks, only got to see this US Press Release late Wednesday, but if you read Monday's update, you would've already seen the link, from the UK press release.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday Sept. 21 via www.thegigcartel.com.
Like BCC's previous albums (2010's self-titled debut and 2011's '2'), Afterglow was produced by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, the Black Crowes), who formed the band after watching Bonamassa and Hughes perform together at a Guitar Center event in November 2009.
Afterwards, Shirley got in touch with Sherinian and Bonham to round out the group and they released their debut album in September 2010.
A mere nine months later, the group released their sophomore album '2'.
Guitar World named it #12 in their Top 50 Albums of 2011; Planet Rock Radio listeners crowned them Best New Band; in November, BCC scooped up the Breakthrough Award at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards.
In terms of content, Afterglow expands upon the progression that took place between 'BCC' and 'BCC2'. "It's a deeper album, musically, than our first two albums, but it does not step away from the genre we're in," said Hughes, who wrote the bulk of the album's 11 songs after BCC's Summer Tour in 2011.
"I wanted this album to have more acoustic moments than the previous two.
Rock Guitar Daily's Tony Conley says, "It sounds like there's a war going on… It rages with an unbridled passion unseen on the first two Black Country releases, and this passion adds immensely to the music.
His lyrics are as amazing, and they tell tales that could be heard in a variety of interpretations. Joe Bonamassa hits his strings like Ali hitting Sonny Liston - wicked accuracy and vicious intent that can't be hid.
Bonamassa compares the album's sound to "a jet engine" and Shirley, considered the unofficial fifth member of the band, added, "When I finally managed to get them all to convene in a studio and they start playing, it's like everything I've ever loved about Rock.
To support the release, BCC is running a 6-episode web TV series which can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/bccommunion.
Vocalist David Van Landing will front Michael Schenker's band on the upcoming North American tour, which is scheduled to kick off on October 3 in Modesto, California.
David will be stepping in for Robin McAuley, who was originally slated to take part in the trek after recently reuniting with Schenker for their first full tour together in almost 20 years.
Van Landing, who has previously done three tours with MSG and had a short stint with CRIMSON GLORY, said: "I am just looking forward to getting out on the road again with the boys and seeing all my old friends and hopefully meet some new ones!!"
In addition to Schenker and Van Landing, the lineup for the forthcoming tour is expected to include Pete Holmes (BLACK N BLUE) on drums, Wayne Findlay (MSG) on guitar and Elliott Rubinson (DEAN GUITARS) on bass.
Schenker's latest album, "Temple Of Rock", was released in Europe on September 23, 2011 and in North America on October 11, 2011 on CD and LP through Schenker's own Inakustik label via MVD Entertainment Group.
Due to a four year battle with a recurring Acid Reflux and the nasty Stomach Bacteria, HP, Robin McAuley has now been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia and requires surgery and can no longer participate in the upcoming MSG fall North American tour by Doctors order.
"In light of the upcoming MSG shows beginning early October 2012, I regretfully am forced to cancel my appearance with Michael Schenker.
I expect to be back in the saddle soon as this is taken care of but it's important for all the fans to know how very disappointed I am. I make a point of staying healthy and always ready to meet the challenges of each day as it comes.
This is one of those days I rarely have to confront, but here it is nonetheless.
I promise to be back at ya! Real soon! Be well, all of you, and thank you for your support.
The MICHAEL SCHENKER "Temple of Rock" North American Tour will continue with DAVID VAN LANDING replacing Robin on vocals who has been the cornerstone of MSG tours in the 90's as the lead vocalist and most recently was featured on the MICHAEL SCHENKER sold out tour of South America in 2011.
Michael Schenker is happy to have him for the second leg of the North America tour now.
See all of you out there! Keep Rockin! And all the best to Robin!
Both Appice and Turner have officially dismissed this news as a rumour.
either of their media representatives or their record companies.
this news of the formation of a "supergroup" is not official or confirmed.
conversations are not 'official news' it is just casual talk.
any official news stating that we were planning to launch this so-called supergroup."
confusion this rumor or any casual conversations might have caused.


The rankings below are, by default, sorted by total EGA. That is, the total amount of value a player has produced for the season, across all play types. I have also separated out the offensive-only EGA, which accumulates the offensive value each player has produced. So if an attackman causes a turnover, that contribution would be captured in the total value but not in the offensive EGA column.

Arkaik Sign With The Artisan Era, Premiere New Song "Supernal Flame"
Arkaik have announced that they have signed a new deal with The Artisan Era. With this news, the band have also released a new single titled "Supernal Flame."
Frontman Jared Christianson commented:
"It's definitely a massive honor to be a part of The Artisan Era family. They have consistently been putting out forward-thinking, top-tier progressive metal and we feel like its the perfect fit for Arkaik. The enthusiasm from supporters of the label is also extremely humbling to be a part of. It's really exciting for us because its also a new era in the band, so couldn't be more stoked to be working with them now.
We're still pretty deep into writing the next album, but we wanted to put out a new song with this announcement. We picked a song that we felt would be a good fit for a single and went to our trusted audio engineering wizard Zack Ohren in Oakland. He engineered and mixed the song and we got our friend Mendel bij de Leij (ex-Aborted) to master the track. They were a perfect combo to be working on this song and they nailed it.
Lyrically the song ties all our previous concept albums together into one song. It acts as an overview of the entire journey of Cyrix, through the last three albums, up until now, and points to where we are going next. We've never done a stand-alone single like this, so I felt like it would be a cool opportunity to tell the story as best I can in one song…"

Arkaik Stream New Song "Order Of The Hierogon" Feat. Psycroptic's Joe Haley
Arkaik are streaming a new track titled "Order Of The Hierogon." This song features a guest solo from Psycroptic's Joe Haley, and it will appear on their new album "Nemethia." That effort will be released on September 29 via Unique Leader Records.
The band said the following:
"We really wanted to push our writing with this one, try some new things and challenge ourselves into making a massive track that explores the spectrum of our sound all in one song. We had the rare opportunity to work with Joe Haley from Psycroptic on a tasty guest solo and it came out better than we could have imagined.
As for the concept of the song as it relates to the story, Cyrix stumbles into a hidden territory called The City Of Secrets. He is introduced to a banished order of outsiders, mystics, sages, psychic warriors, historians, and oracles that preserve the lineage of knowledge contained within the 'Order Of The Hierogon.' Once welcomed into the inner circle of this mysterious group who seemed to have foreknowledge of his arrival, Cyrix is bestowed with mental and physical tools and training to make his passage through the Nexion Stargate, which takes place at the end of the album.
We created the word 'Hierogon' to describe a mystical navigation device that Cyrix inherits from his new allies. It is the 'holy grail' of the order. The Arkaik symbol you see in the beginning of this video is a visual representation of the Hierogon."

Arkaik Stream New Song "Occultivation", Reveal Details For New Album "Nemethia"
Posted by caemanamelio on July 27, 2017
Arkaik are streaming a new track tilted "Occultivation." This song is from their new album "Nemethia," which will be released on September 29 via Unique Leader Records. That effort features drums from Gabe Seeber (The Kennedy Veil), as well as the following guests: Psycroptic's Joe Haley, Arde Ostowari (Burning The Masses), Craig Peters (ex-Arkaik) and Stephen Paulson (San Francisco Symphony Orchestra).
Jared Christianson said the following about the album:
"This album fully sets the stage and builds on the story we started developing two albums ago with Cyrix and Metamorphignition. We've begun weaving together our own mythos of synchronicity and symbolism to encapsulate and distill the journey of the alchemist through the gnostic dream. It attempts to reveal through storytelling and allegory that we can experience real freedom and discover the inner treasures that guide us to who, what, and where we want to be, if we are willing to pull back the veil of lies blinding us from the truth of our nature.
If I could sum up everything we've done so far, my personal journey and our message as a band in three words it would be the lyric 'pain to power' from the song 'Telegnosis.' To me, it's about transmuting your struggles into strengths and refining your personal power and will. I really enjoyed making this album and hope people dig it!"
Greg Paulson added:
"This is the most involved I've been on an Arkaik record so far. The songs are more thought out and meticulously crafted. I wanted to retain the sonic brutality Arkaik is known for, while introducing new elements to further expand on the band's sound. I incorporated greater symphonic instrumentation throughout the record and utilized my classical background to add more depth and dynamics to the arrangements.
The album is overall more complex, I even added some harmonized vocals to blend with Jared's voice, making for some interesting layered textures. This is sure to be the most unique Arkaik album to date. I'm really proud of what we created and hope people enjoy it."

Tasting Notes: 10 Year Old Tawny from Vintage Port in Douro, Portugal.
10 Year Old Tawny is part of the Aged Port, which is typically made from the best wines of different vintages aged for a minimum of six years in casks.
This style of port was totally matured in seasoned oak casks for years and because of this, the wine slowly develops its amber "tawny" color as well as mellow and luscious flavors.
10 Year Old Tawny is the best illustration of a good tawny style. It is a combination of delicate wood notes and rich aromas of mature fruit, bottled for immediate drinking.
This port wine is smooth and silky on the palate containing almonds, berry fruit, and dark chocolate flavors with subtle notes of chocolate, butterscotch and fine oak wood.
These wine characteristics are perfect match with rich, blue veined cheeses, walnuts and roasted almonds and best served after dinner.

A pioneer in agile development, Atlanta-based VersionOne found that, as it grew, its financial processes were anything but agile.
With complex financial projections and data spread across multiple, siloed spreadsheets across the business, the company realized that to properly recognize revenue and close the books in a reasonable time frame, its existing processes and an Intacct accounting software solution would not suffice. With a worldwide presence, including more than 50,000 software teams in 170 countries using VersionOne products, it needed to give management and employees better access to KPIs, budgets, results and projections in real time.
Moreover, because VersionOne is a software business that provides both an agile development platform, DevOps and integration solutions along with services, its revenue recognition requirements were significant.
Like many innovative software companies, VersionOne was looking for a modern and robust ERP solution with global financial capabilities, including multi-currency accounting, that could give it the ability to ramp up its global expansion. It also needed sophisticated reporting that could segment the business by region, item groupings and offerings.
VersionOne ultimately selected NetSuite and has seen its close time go from 10 days to five, a dramatic reduction in its uses of spreadsheets and improved visibility for both management and front-line employees. NetSuite also provides VersionOne a flexible foundation that allows the company to adapt the system to its evolving needs.
Other innovative companies like Avant, Design Within Reach and Dylan's Candy Bar, have leveraged NetSuite to disrupt their industries. You can read about their innovative business models in our Profiles in Innovation blog series.
VersionOne will also be sharing some of the secrets to its success in a webinar on Aug. 23 at 10-11 a.m. PT, including best practices for reporting and analytics, and role-based access.

Q: String deallocs when given value from NSDateFormatter The mysteries of Objective-C plague me yet again.
I have a string. It's defined in a header file called "Common.h".
If I give it a value thusly:
_DATESTRING = @"2011-08-16";

There is no problem, and it sticks around forever, however, if I do this:
_DATESTRING = [format stringFromDate:[NSDATE dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]];

I get a "message sent to deallocated instance" further down the pipes.
Why?

A: // This is a string that's not going to be released
_DATESTRING = @"2011-08-16";

// This is a string that's autoreleased
_DATESTRING = [format stringFromDate:[NSDATE dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]];

// You want somethhing like this
_DATESTRING = [[format stringFromDate:[NSDATE dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]] retain];

In short, if your method name contains alloc, copy, new or mutableCopy you have to release it yourself. Otherwise it's already autoreleased so if you want to keep it around you need to retain it.

A: Where exactly is down the pipes?
The method stringFromDate: returns an autorelease object, so I'm quite sure that it's getting automatically deallocated when you want to use it. It doesn't happens with string literals because these do not follow the standard memory management conventions for objects.
You may want to add a retain message:
_DATESTRING = [[format stringFromDate:
                             [NSDATE dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]] retain];

A: because -stringFromDate: returns autoreleased object. If you want it to stick around forever, you need to send -retain message to it, that is:
_DATESTRING = [[format stringFromDate:[NSDATE dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]] retain];
