When you visit your Austin optometrist at Eyes of Texas Vision Care, our team will provide you with exceptional service and care. We recommend visiting us at least one time a year for an eye exam. If you suffer from any type of eye conditions or diseases, we may recommend more frequent visits. As a trusted, experienced eye doctor in Austin, we're here for all of your needs.
We are a comprehensive eye doctor in Austin. Below are some of the eye conditions treated in Austin, though our team can help you with most types of vision and eye health concerns. We recommend contacting us right away for an eye appointment.
Often, patients struggling with allergies to pet dander, pollen, dust, or other allergens will have eye-related symptoms. We offer treatment for this type of condition. If you have dry, watery, or itchy eyes, we recommend seeing our Austin eye doctor for care.
Everyone has dry eyes from time to time, but for some it becomes chronic. Dry eye treatment may include eye drops or minimally invasive procedures to allow better production or better quality of tears.
For those suffering from conjunctivitis, a highly contagious form of infection in the eyes, treatment is necessary. If your eyes are red, painful, and have discharge, you may need an immediate appointment with your Austin eye doctor for care.
Uveitis and Iritis are forms of eye inflammation that occurs in the middle layer of the eye. It can be caused by injury or illness, but often requires medical care to ensure the infection is cared for properly.
Individuals with floaters may have retinal detachment. This condition occurs when the retina breaks away from the layer under it. Without care, it can create permanent vision loss.
Glaucoma is a very common eye disease in which the pressure in the eye builds to a very high level. This causes damage to the optic nerve. While there is no cure, we can take steps to slow the progression of this condition.
In addition to this, we can provide you with care for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
Contact Our Optometrist in Austin for More Information Today!
The best possible care for your vision and eye health is ongoing appointments with your optometrist in Austin. If you haven't had an annual eye exam, call our offices to schedule one.

Q: How to use Cross Linker instead of native linker I am trying to cross compile a package for MIPS architecture using toolchain provided by OpenWRT. I come across following error during make:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/user/package/zlib/zlib-1.2.8/libz.so when searching for -lz

In this case zlib is already cross compiled for MIPS but make is using '/usr/bin/ld' instead of 'mipsel-openwrt-linux-ld'. I have tried ./configure with --with-ld option but it says that '--with-ld' is unknown option.

A: Did you check following page, https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/crosscompile?

Pass the host and build to the build system of the package to trigger cross-compile
For GNU configure, use --build=architecture-unkown-linux-gnu --host=architecture-openwrt-linux-uclibc (for example: ./configure --build=x86_64-unkown-linux-gnu  –host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc)
Run ./config.guess to get the --build= option.
Check the output and ensure that 'checking whether we are cross compiling… yes' is yes.
For GNU make, override the CC and LD environment variables (usually not needed if GNU configure was used)
make CC=architecture-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc LD=architecture-openwrt-linux-uclibc-ld

A: I know that this two years old. I had the same issue when building foreign packages for OpenWrt.
As for the most recent OpenWrt, you have set at least two ENV variables:

*

*add your Path_to_OpenWrt/staging_dir/toolchain-*/bin path to your PATH ENV var

*set your Path_to_OpenWrt/staging_dir to your STAGING_DIR ENV var

You should now be able to compile an autoconf based project with AC_CANONICAL_HOST (look it up in the configure.ac) with ./configure --host=architecture-openwrt-linux.
You probably will need to set more ENV vars e.g. PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to make pkg-config work appropriately.
I have written a bash script which does all the work for you:
sdkenv.sh.
You can activate the script with source sdkenv.sh before configuring.

I may not have found how to do this but I encounter a problem building a dungeon and I hit the boundaries of the Background grid.
Is there a way to select a room (or multiple room) and move them around the background grid?
Mutli-select for rooms is not yet supported. Unfortunately at the moment you will have to move the vertices. That feature will be coming soon though.
Nice to hear that will makes things easier!

Parents of man shot to death by off-duty officer in Corona Costco to speak publicly Monday

By Brian Rokos | brokos@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise
PUBLISHED: August 23, 2019 at 2:05 p.m. | UPDATED: August 26, 2019 at 1:12 p.m.
The parents of the developmentally disabled man shot to death June 14 in the Costco in Corona will speak publicly for the first time about the incident on Monday, Aug. 26, their attorney said Friday.
Update: Family of man killed by LAPD officer in Costco makes emotional statement, lawyer announces complaint
Russell and Paola French will discuss at a news conference in Corona the shooting, their recovery from their own injuries and their belief that the off-duty officer who used deadly force should be prosecuted, a news release from Woodland Hills-based attorney Dale K. Galipo said.
Kenneth French's brother, Kevin, is also expected to attend the news conference, Galipo said.
The attorney also said he planned to file a claim against the city of Los Angeles and Officer Salvador Sanchez. Such claims are legally required precursors to lawsuits. Galipo's office said it will make that claim public Monday.
Meanwhile, there was "no update" on whether the Riverside County District Attorney's Office planned to file charges, spokesman John Hall said Friday.
"The family believes there's enough evidence to criminally prosecute but realize it's not their decision," Galipo said in a text message Friday.
Kenneth French, 32, died from his injuries in the shooting about 7:45 p.m. inside the warehouse store at 480 N. McKinley St. His parents were seriously injured and are continuing their recoveries.
A surveillance video exists that reportedly shows the encounter near the deli area. However, a Riverside County judge issued an order that keeps the video out of the public eye for one year because of the investigation. Galipo on Friday called on authorities to release the video publicly.
Galipo has previously said that French was a mentally disabled man who pushed or struck Sanchez, but he added that the family "believes that the shooting was excessive and completely unjustified because Mr. (Kenneth) French was unarmed and posed no immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury to anyone."
Galipo's release Friday said Sanchez provided no warning that he was going to use deadly force and that the parents were shot in the back as they tried to de-escalate the situation.
David Winslow, an attorney for Sanchez, has said the shooting happened after the officer was "without warning or provocation…violently attacked from behind" as the officer was holding his 1½-year-old son in his arms.
Both the officer and the boy were knocked to the floor and the officer was momentarily unconscious, Winslow said in a statement. He said the officer was "unprotected and had no other option to defend himself and his son from further deadly attack. He was in fear for his son's life. He believed he was under attack. That's when the shooting started."
The Corona Police Department has said that Sanchez was attacked "without provocation."
Rick Shureih, a relative of Kenneth French, has said his cousin was "non-violent, non-aggressive, non-verbal."

Berta Kuznetsova was born in a small town in Belarus, twelve years prior to World War II. She and her mother were able to escape the Nazis while her father was killed in one of the bitterly fought early battles, and her beloved grandfather and most of her other relatives perished in the German Death camps.
It was out of such a trauma that Berta, who had already displayed exceptional talent as a young girl, became an artist of incredible depth and compassion.
At the age of 20, Berta was accepted to a prestigious Lithuania Art Institute of Vilnius where she was rigorously trained for five years before she ventured to find her place in the world of the Soviet artists.
Berta was one of the fortunate artists whose talent was recognized early. Her portraits were so skillful, full of life, humor and love of the ordinary people that award after award came to her. Beginning with a showing of her paining in an exhibition of "Young Artists" in 1956 in Petrozavodsk, she was included in numerous exhibitions. Over the next fifteen years Berta's works appeared in the exhibitions throughout the Soviet Union and Europe.
Berta Kuznetsova was admitted into the prestigious Union of Soviet Artists in 1963.
Critiques of her work appeared regularly in the press; in 1973 she was included in "The Reference Book of the Artists of the USSR".
A new life started for her again when In August of 1980 Berta and her family arrived in New York.
In New York, Kuznetsova discovered a new kind of painting for herself: miniature compositions on semiprecious stones. She found a unique way of painting on semi-precious stones incorporating the grain of the stone in her designs. Many of the images were inspired by the memories of her pious grandfather. The artist expresses her spiritual freedom by using religious themes in her art.
Berta has been working in different mediums all her life, including paintings on canvas, sculpture, ceramics, stained glass, murals and miniature paintings on semiprecious stones. Her work is in private collections and on exhibit in the permanent collections of Museums in Russia, Europe and the United States, including Reagan Presidential Library.
Berta's life tragically ended in the summer of 1998 in a car accident. She has left behind an enormous collection of works.

• Did Jesus really say what is reported at the Last Supper?
• Is there a contradiction on the Date of the Last Supper?
• What does the "Our Father" tell us about the Eucharist?
CP 259S
Cover Style Softcover
Cover Style
Who did Jesus of Nazareth claim to be? What was his relationship to early Judaism? When and how did he expect the kingdom to come? What were his intentions? Though these key questions have been addressed in studies of the historical Jesus, Brant Pitre argues that they cannot be fully answered apart from a careful historical analysis of the Last Supper accounts. Yet these accounts, both by the Gospel writers and by Paul, are widely neglected by contemporary Jesus research.
In this book Pitre fills a notable gap in historical Jesus research as he offers a rigorous, up-to-date study of the historical Jesus and the Last Supper. Situating the Last Supper in the triple contexts of ancient Judaism, the life of Jesus, and early Christianity, Pitre brings to light crucial insights into major issues driving the quest for Jesus. His Jesus and the Last Supper is sure to ignite scholarly discussion and debate.
Publisher: Eerdmans, August 2017
Matthew Levering
— Mundelein Seminary
"This beautifully written work confirms Brant Pitre's eminence as a scholar of the very first rank. . . . Focusing on the Last Supper, Pitre develops such themes as the new bread of the presence, the new manna, the new Passover, the messianic banquet, and the kingdom of God in often surprising but utterly persuasive ways. Catholic participation in the Jesus quest has hereby finally borne its hoped-for fruit, with enormous implications for all Christians. Pitre should win the Ratzinger Prize for this book alone."
Anthony Le Donne
— United Theological Seminary, Dayton
"Now more than ever the field of historical Jesus studies is in a state of flux. The discipline is razing old foundations with the hope that more sophisticated methods will emerge. With Jesus and the Last Supper Brant Pitre constructs a bridge from the best scholarship of previous generations to the most promising possibilities of the present. This book is nothing less than a blueprint for resurrecting Jesus studies in the twenty-first century."
Dale C. Allison Jr.
— Princeton Theological Seminary
Brant Pitre's contribution is provocative in the best sense of the word. At every turn readers will find new observations worth pondering and new arguments worth weighing. In particular, the numerous intertextual claims should generate much productive discussion, as should Pitre's challenging approach to dating the Last Supper. No one will come away from this volume without having learned much."
Craig S. Keener
— Asbury Theological Seminary
"This dramatic new rereading of the evidence for the Last Supper is a pivotally important work on the Last Supper and also an important contribution to historical Jesus research. Carefully researched and vigorously yet graciously argued, it offers a brilliant new synthesis of the data. Even readers not persuaded by every point will find much or even most of the argument persuasive."
— Ridley Melbourne Mission and Ministry College
"This long-awaited book is a brilliant study about the sacred meal that Jesus instituted for his followers, including its background, its origins, and its meaning for us. Pitre artfully shows that the bread and wine of the meal commemorate and embody the hopes of Israel's restoration as achieved through their messianic deliverer. You'll never look at the Lord's Supper, Eucharist, or Mass the same way after reading this book. A sumptuous feast of exegesis and theology!"
CP was very prompt with their delivery and I'm super impressed with not only the products I received but their follow-up.

Microsoft showcases cloud technologies in Assam
GUWAHATI , December 21, 2017 6:00 pm
Microsoft India showcased cloud technologies for citizen services in Guwahati on Tuesday and also reaffirmed its commitment to partner with the state of Assam in its progress.
During a digital conclave in the city, the company discussed its focus on enabling better e-governance services in the state, in alignment with the Prime Minister's 'Digital India' mission.
Microsoft is the only provider of services across all three clouds in the country – private, public and hybrid cloud, and was the first global public cloud service provider to be accredited by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), said a Microsoft official.
Microsoft technologies currently power several core e-governance and critical projects in Assam. Microsoft is engaged with Assam State Power Distribution Company Ltd for their initiatives in the field of RAPDRP and internal workplace modernization
Microsoft is also engaged with departments such Commercial Tax and Treasury.
"E-governance is the best way to get the benefit of technology to all residents of the state. We believe the next step of growth will be to move beyond just the Internet and leverage the power of the cloud, artificial intelligence, IoT and data; and are very keen to partner with Assam on this journey," Ashutosh Chadha, Group Director, Government Affairs and Public Policy at Microsoft India, said.
Microsoft India has been collaborating with governments, academia, industry and researchers across India with the intention of advancing state of the art computing and solving crucial world problems.
The company has set up three cloud datacentres in Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai two years back and the availability of local cloud services – Microsoft Azure, Dynamics, and Office 365 – is accelerating cloud innovation and opening new possibilities in e-governance and inclusive growth.
Microsoft has been working closely with several state governments in India to support their digital infrastructure, enhance their citizen services and drive efficiencies in their administrative and governance operations.


The story is about a two week psychological experiment conducted to observe how a group of men would behave when given roles as guards or prisoners in a make-shift prison cell. The rules state that anyone can quit anytime, no violence is allowed and money is only given to all those who make it to the end of the experiment.
Quite scary to see how the guards slowly start to abuse their authority while the prisoners have to endure the stress of living in a cell! Realised that it is based on the true story only after watching the film!

This trio keeps the somewhat familiar Archos branding – the number indicates the display size, while the suffix alludes to the "quality" of the product (i.e. Carbon is lower-end, while the Platinum name is reserved for higher-end products).
The 35 Carbon is the smallest and packs the least impressive specs of the trio, but for $99 without contract, you shouldn't expect much in the first place.
See? May be good for a child's first smartphone, I guess.
The 50 Platinum isn't exactly going to break any records, but it's definitely a major step up from the 35 Carbon, in terms of size, spec, and price. For $200, this one is actually pretty usable and will keep you away from having to sign a contract.
Sure, it's no game-changer, but for the price, it's at least worth considering. Maybe.
The 53 Platinum is, of course, the largest of the three. Under the hood it's nearly identical to the 50 Platinum, though it does house a larger battery to help power its 5.3-inch display.
The 53 Platinum will set you back a reasonable $250 – not a bad price for someone looking to enter the oversized-smartphone market on a budget.
All three devices feature a "pure, un-skinned" Android experience and will be available at the end of May beginning in Europe.
Denver, CO – April 18th, 2013 - ARCHOS, a pioneer in AndroidTM devices, is pleased to announce its first line of GoogleTM certified smartphones. Each smartphone will feature a super slim design, IPS screen with amazing viewing angles, a powerful Qualcomm CPU and the flexibility of dual SIM cards which allow the user to manage two providers simultaneously.
The ARCHOS 35 Carbon ($99.99), ARCHOS 50 Platinum ($219.99) and ARCHOS 53 Platinum($249.99) will be the first in a new line of smartphones to be released and will be available starting in Europe at the end of May 2013.


SUNY Broome men's soccer hosted Hudson Valley CC this afternoon and came away with a 3-0 win. Lisberto Calvo opened up the scoring early for Broome off a nice through ball from Harris Brkovic. Brkovic created his own opportunity for the 2nd goal of the match when he was taken down in the box and won a penalty kick. Brkovic tucked away the ensuing penalty to complete the scoring for Broome and go into a 2-0 halftime lead over the Vikings (6-8-1). Luke Day scored the lone goal in the 2nd half to complete the scoring for the Hornets (13-1-1).
SUNY Broome will travel to Buffalo this Friday for a 4:00 p.m. match against Erie CC.

HomeScuba NewsANZTourism operators help plant 1000 corals
Tourism operators help plant 1000 corals
Modified date: 15th July 2020
Whitsunday tourism operators dive in to help restore local reefs and plant 1000 corals
During a challenging time for tourism, local operators have dived in to help plant almost 1000 corals and conduct research on the archipelago's key reefs.
As part of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation's Reef Islands Initiative, more than 30 tourism guides and operators have been trained and upskilled in local reef restoration, led by our partner Reef Ecologic.
Vessels and staff from Red Cat Adventures, Ocean Rafting, Prosail, True Blue Sailing and Daydream Island, along with Coral Sea Marina and Whitsunday Regional Council representatives, have worked alongside Reef Ecologic to deliver the coral planting and research, and staff were thrilled to be back out on the water and contributing to the health of local reefs.
Great Barrier Reef Foundation Managing Director Anna Marsden said the Great Barrier Reef is our unique living icon, and we should be proud that it's our responsibility to look after it.
"This irreplaceable ecosystem is home to thousands of species of marine life, and Reef islands play a critical role in saving the Reef for future generations," Ms Marsden said.
"However, our Reef and its marine life are coming under pressure from a growing combination of threats. Our Reef needs a network of climate change refuges and the Whitsundays has been identified as a critical site that needs to be future-proofed through the Reef Islands Initiative.
"Since launching the Reef Islands Initiative in the Whitsundays in February, we've been working closely with the local community, including Traditional Owners and tourism operators, to identify the priority actions and areas for restoration, and we'll work with them to make these important projects happen."
The Reef Islands Initiative is a 10-year program pioneered by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. The Great Barrier Reef Foundation's Reef Islands Initiative is supported by funding from Lendlease, the Australian Government's Reef Trust, the Queensland Government and the Fitzgerald Family Foundation.
Tash Wheeler, CEO Tourism Whitsundays said:
"The Whitsundays is located in the Heart of the Great Barrier Reef and without a doubt, it is the jewel in our crown. Ensuring its health is paramount for Whitsundays tourism operators.
The incredible work being done by The Great Barrier Reef Foundation's Reef Island Initiative in partnership with organisations like Reef Ecologic and local marine operators is outstanding. Not only are we seeing amazing results from the outplanted corals, but the initiative is also helping to engage our marine operators in the education and restoration of the stunning fringing reefs The Whitsundays is so well known for. We want to continue to build on this amazing work and be known for having an incredible diverse inshore reef that visitors will be able to enjoy."
Sharon Smallwood, Whitsunday Charter Boat Industry Association, commented:
"We are extremely grateful to our partners at Reef Ecologic and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation for including our tourism operators in this wonderful work.
The past few months have been an incredibly tough time for the marine tourism industry, which has essentially been in hibernation due to Covid-19.
Getting tourism operators and crew back out on the water to assist in out-planting corals has provided meaningful activity and inspired our reef stewards to continue sharing this good news story as visitors return.
We look forward to a continuation and expansion of these partnerships and are excited about what our collective successes will mean for the future of the Great Barrier Reef."
Adam Smith, Reef Ecologic said:
"Often scientists just work alone, but to amplify your message and create champions you've got to go on a journey with people.
"It is brilliant seeing these volunteers work with us and pointing out the fish they know and looking at their favourite bommies and seeing us collectively heal them and help them."

How to resolve this problem. please help
Thanks in advance.!


Modern Algebra or Common Core?
Let's play a little game. We'll call it Modern Algebra or Common Core?
For each of the following learning targets, determine whether it comes from my undergraduate Modern Algebra textbook or from the Common Core State Standards for Algebra I.
Discuss… exponential functions with continuous domains.
The polynomial ring…has features that have no analogues in the ring of integers.
Polynomials form a system analogous to the integers.
By "abstracting" the common core of essential features…develop a general theory that includes as special cases the integers…and the other familiar systems.
With each extension of number, the meanings of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are extended. In each new number system—integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers—the four operations stay the same in two important ways: They have the commutative, associative, and distributive properties and their new meanings are consistent with their previous meanings.
Griffin: Algebra is a piece of paper with math problems that are very hard.
I know I messed this up.
My pH videos came out clean and distraction free. I am satisfied with their quality. I spent two hours getting 20 minutes of footage and have edited it down to tidy, manageable packages.
But I know I didn't get a really important one into the mix.
I have the pH of water, of 100 ml of water with 1 ml of orange juice concentrate, of 100 ml of water with 10, then 20, then 100 ml of concentrate. And I have the pH of straight concentrate.
So what's missing? Orange juice made correctly-in a 3:1 ratio of water to concentrate. I have 1:1 and 5:1 but not 3:1.
Too late for this time around. Lesson learned.
Both here and elsewhere, I have been part of a lively and robust discussion of the role of the real-world in mathematics instruction. One concern that is often expressed of instruction that is based in real-world problems is that of time and efficiency.
But sometimes it is really easy to turn the tables and make the standard word problem the motivational setup. An example.
In my College Algebra class, I started class with the following image the other day.
And I asked What is there to wonder about here? What questions can we ask? Here is what my students came up with.
What is the difference between Rate and APY? And what does this have to do with interest?
How much does the principal grow over time in response to the rate?
How does the amount of the deposit affect the growth over time?
These are precisely the questions I would hope for. But they asked them, not me.
If you offer a 1.54% APR, how should you go about compounding interest monthly?
Divide the interest rate by 12. Apply this new interest rate each month.
Brilliant! Next year, I'll use (1) as part of a homework assignment-how do we run the computations when money gets added to account midway through the year? It gets very tricky very quickly.
But (2) is how we have agreed to run the computations in the financial world.
And it's what accounts for the difference between APR and APY.
Now they were ready to hear about and derive interest formulas and to do some computations on their own.
A small bit of preparation put my students in a much better frame of mind for the material.

6. The paradox of double vision
Photoessay on settlement brochures to come
The journey into the mountains, seeking to reestablish the relation between terrain and sacred text, was a work of tracing the location of "biblical" sites, and constructing settlements adjacent to them. Settlers turned "topography" into "sceneography", forming an exegetical landscape with a mesh of scriptural signification that must be "read", not just "viewed".
For example, a settlement located near the Palestinian city of Nablus advertises itself thus:
Shilo spreads up the hills overlooking Tel Shilo, where over three thousand years ago the children of Israel gathered to erect the Tabernacle and to divide by lot the Land of Israel into tribal portions… this ancient spiritual centre has retained its power as the focus of modern day Shilo.
Rather than being a resource for agricultural or industrial cultivation, the landscape establishes the link with religious-national myths. The view of the landscape does not evoke solemn contemplations, but becomes an active staring, part of an ecstatic ritual: "it causes me excitement that I cannot even talk about in modesty," says Menora Katzover, wife of a prominent settlers' leader, about the view of the Shomron mountains.
Another sales brochure, published for member recruitment in Brooklyn and advertising the ultra orthodox settlement of Emanuel, evokes the pastoral: "The city of Emanuel, situated 440 metres above sea level, has a magnificent view of the coastal plain and the Judean Mountains. The hilly landscape is dotted by green olive orchards and enjoys a pastoral calm."
There is a paradox in this description. The very thing that renders the landscape 'biblical' – traditional inhabitation, cultivation in terraces, olive orchards and stone buildings – is made by the Arabs whom the settlers come to replace. The people who cultivate the "green olive orchards" and render the landscape biblical are themselves excluded from the panorama.
It is only when it comes to the roads that the brochure mentions Arabs, and that only by way of exclusion. "A motored system is being developed that will make it possible to travel quickly and safely to the Tel Aviv area and to Jerusalem on modern throughways, bypassing Arab towns" (emphasis in the original). The gaze that can see a "pastoral, biblical landscape" will not register what it doesn't want to see – the Palestinians.
State strategy established vision as a mean of control, and uses the eyes of settlers for this purpose. The settlers celebrate the panorama as a sublime resource, but one that can be edited. The sight-lines from the settlements serve two contradictory agendas simultaneously.
The Emanuel brochure continues, "Indeed new Jewish life flourishes in these hills of the Shomron, and the nights are illuminated by lights of Jewish settlements on all sides. In the centre of all this wonderful bustling activity, Emanuel, a Torah city, is coming into existence."
From a hilltop at night, a settler can lift his eyes to see only the blaze of other settlements, perched at a similar height atop the summits around. At night, settlers could avoid the sight of Arab towns and villages, and feel that they have truly arrived "as the people without land – to the land without people". (This famous slogan is attributed to Israel Zangwill, one of the early Zionists who arrived to Palestine before the British mandate, and described the land to which Eastern European Zionism was headed as desolate and forsaken.) Latitude thus becomes more than merely relative position on the folded surface of the terrain. It functions to establish literally parallel geographies of 'First' and 'Third' Worlds, inhabiting two distinct planes, in the startling and unprecedented proximity that only the vertical dimension of the mountains could provide.
Rather than the conclusive division between two nations across a boundary line, the organisation of the West Bank's particular terrain has created multiple separations, provisional boundaries, which relate to each other through surveillance and control. This intensification of power could be achieved in this form only because of the particularity of the terrain.
The mountain settlements are the last gesture in the urbanisation of enclaves. They perfect the politics of separation, seclusion and control, placing them as the end-condition of contemporary urban and architectural formations such as 'New Urbanism', suburban enclave neighbourhoods or gated communities. The most ubiquitous of architectural typologies is exposed as terrifying within the topography of the West Bank.

Wonderful Web: the Theban mapping project
Tomb by tomb, pharoah by pharoah the Theban mapping project is an online guide to the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and a little known tomb called KV5…
Initially conceived and built by egyptologist Kent Weeks, the Theban Mapping project website is a fast-growing portal of information on New Kingdom Egyptology – that's the period including the Ramesean kings and the ever popular Tutankhamun (whose possible mother/aunt Nefertiti is pictured).
'Since its inception in 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP, now based at the American University in Cairo) has been working to prepare a comprehensive archaeological database of Thebes. With its thousands of tombs and temples, Thebes is one of the world's most important archaeological zones. Sadly, however, it has not fared well over the years. Treasure-hunters and curio-seekers plundered it in the past; pollution, rising ground water, and mass-tourism threaten it in the present. Even early archaeologists destroyed valuable information in their search for museum-quality pieces.'
Using flash animations and simple web-publishing tools, the Theban Mapping project is an exemplar in how to use the web as an educational tool for history and archaeology. Interactive maps, tomb by tomb information files, progress reports on excavations, links to external resources and suggested reading lists make this a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a decent introduction to Egyptology and Archaeology as a whole.
The most intriguing of all aspects of Weeks' reserach is the study of KV5, the tomb which Weeks re-discovered in the Valley of the KIngs in 1987. Excavation is on-going and may run for decades. This is the last resting place of the sons of Rameses II, a massive, sprawling tomb containing something in the region of 110 plus rooms – the majority of which have yet to be excavated.
Beautifully designed, cleverly illustrated and easy to use, the Theban Mapping project website is a rarity – a website on archaeology that doesn't look like it was designed by a group of 13-year olds and doesn't patronise and bore it's audience to death. Now why can't the archaeology departments of major universities and museums make websites like this?

While the residents of Plainview, Texas, struggle with the closure on Friday of its Cargill beef processing plant, Aberdeen's Northern Beef Packers has a golden opportunity.
Northern Beef is on the hunt for 150 more workers, which would bring its numbers to 550.
The Cargill plant employs 2,000.
It's a critical time for Northern Beef. With funding and permitting behind them, plant operators now work on making key hires, as well as getting their work force up to full capacity.
That's not an easy feat. Northern Beef is a rare facility, a state-of-the-art, independent beef processing plant. There just aren't that many experienced workers out there to do the kind of tough, precise work the plant needs.
The Cargill workers are, in fact, luckier than some. While 150 jobs is just a fraction of the thousands lost there, some of those workers might get a chance to put their experience to good use in a modern start-up.
We've seen some grumbling online that Northern Beef shouldn't be actively recruiting the Texas workers and instead focus on hiring out-of-work Aberdonians. But no one's address gives him a guarantee, and Northern Beef officials would be wrong to ignore the opportunity the Cargill closure brings.
"One thousand jobs" isn't just a marketing campaign, but a fact, according to the Department of Labor's Aberdeen office. There are more than enough slots for South Dakotans who want to work.

Tumaco, city, Nariño departamento, southwestern Colombia. It is situated on the Pacific coast, on a small island at the south end of Tumaco Bay. Named for an Indian chief, Tumas, who founded the settlement in 1570, Tumaco experienced prosperity as the point of export for rubber and cinchona bark gathered in the eastern rain forest. After the boom period, Tumaco declined until it became the terminus of a pipeline from the Putumayo oil fields about 100 miles (160 km) to the southeast. There is some light industry in the city, which is a centre of lumbering activity including plywood and molding factories, and gold mines are worked nearby. Tumaco is also a major fishing port with tuna and sardine canneries. It is accessible by road from Pasto, in the Andes, and has an airport. Pop. (2007 est.) 88,845.

HONORED VOLUNTEER - BEULAH WILLIAMS
By LINDA DOYNE Staff Writer
Beulah Williams of Suffolk first began volunteering as a child by working at her church. When she married Nurney Williams and moved to Suffolk she felt lonesome and did not enjoy being stuck at home all day. That's when she decided to rekindle her interest in volunteering.
In 1989 Beulah was awarded with a plaque as "Outstanding Volunteer of 1989" from the Volunteer Action Center and the United Way. The award was presented to her at a reception Nov. 6 at the Chrysler Museum, Norfolk.
Mount Zion Church recognized Beulah for her volunteer service with a luncheon, 10 long-stemmed red roses, a corsage, a ring with three diamonds to represent the Trinity, and a new hymnbook for her love of music.
One of Beulah's favorite volunteer activities concerns the Keen Club of Wilroy Baptist Church. The club was established in 1974 by Lamar Eiland and named as a description of the minds of the members.
The club members meet once a month for fellowship. They also enjoy taking trips and eating out. As a group they visit nursing home patients.
Beulah loves to go on Christian mission trips and recently returned from a trip to Pennsylvania where the mission group helped work on a new church building. While the construction was going on, Beulah worked in the yard of the church with the Bible school students.
Other volunteer activities include playing the piano at Autumn Care Nursing Home for seven years; working at bloodmobiles for more than four years; collecting money for the American Heart Association; visiting sick people; participating in the Meals on Wheels program; and serving meals at Salvation Army headquarters.
Beulah met her late husband, Nurney, through her sister. He sent Beulah a valentine in 1943 and 20 years later they were married. Her husband died several years ago.
Beulah feels her greatest accomplishment is the fact that she can still take an exercise classes in the swimming pool at the Suffolk YMCA.
