To my knowledge, this is the only site with reviews and pictures of vanilla beans. The selection of reviews continues to grow, so check back often.
2. Open the package, if the beans are vacuum-packed I cut open the seal and let the beans rest/air for a few days before going further. The beans will shift in intensity and the aroma can change significantly. Vacu-packed beans will also reabsorb some of the moisture that was squeezed out of them by the vacuum pressure. I cover the open end loosely with plastic wrap so the bags aren't "gaping open".
3. I empty the beans into my hand and inspect the bunch. Inspect the ends to make sure none are folded or split. Give them a gentle bend to make sure they are soft and flexible.
4. Check out each bean, make sure it's moist and supple — almost like a raisin, but not quite. If a bean seems dry, gently flex it. If it breaks, thats a bad thing.
5. Arrange all the beans flat and photograph next to a ruler. I don't try to give an exact measurement, just a general guideline for comparison.
6. Bunch up the beans into a pile for a good profile view. Sometimes beans are paper thin, but you might not see this in a picture where they all lay flat. I take pictures of the whole pile, and super closeups that show the skin texture and bean 'plumpness'.
7. The beans will smell nice during this part of the review, but we don't really know the aroma until the beans are cut open. I bisect the beans and remove all the caviar. I take one photo of a nice bean with the caviar exposed, and one of the removed caviar and bean skins.
8. At this point I evaluate the aroma of the vanilla and take copious notes. It's difficult to remember smells, so detailed notes are crucial. Whenever possible, I use my spice wall to compare the vanilla to the spice I think it resembles. This is the only way I can be remotely sure that I identify aromas correctly, rather than make wild guesses.
9. Next, I prepare an extract of the beans as detailed in this instructable.
Place a drop of extract into a bit of milk. I smell the milk and taste it.
Use the vanilla to make icing or frosting.
Both of these tests are uncooked, so the whole of the vanilla profile can be experienced.
Icing: A drop of vanilla is added to powered sugar. Whilst stirring, drops of (butter)milk are added until a stiff icing is formed.
Frosting: Beat together 2 parts cream cheese, 1 part butter, a bit of powdered sugar, and a tiny splash of vanilla.
If your beans aren't here, and you'd like them to be, I'll review and extract any vendors' bean samples. If you want the entire extract treatment be sure to send at least 8 beans (1+ oz) for 250ml extract, or 1/4lbs (4 oz) for 750ml extract. It's fairly easy to ship to me, up to 2 lbs is only $11 by US priority mail. Up to one ounce can be sent in a flat/padded envelope for about $2. Use the contact form to request details.

On the night of Tuesday, September 13th, an 11-year-old girl was struck by an SUV and pressed against a porch in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago. She was walking into a snack shop in the neighborhood, at 80th and Vincennes, when the accident occurred. She suffered head trauma and could not breathe without assistance. She remains in critical condition.
The motorist struck two cars, after which he attempted to leave the scene by going in the southern direction. The SUV then went onto the curb, struck the child and crashed into a porch. Many people in the area are questioning whether the accident could have been prevented by the presence of more stop signs or a traffic light. The girl's grandfather said that cars often drive through the neighborhood at the rate at 50 or 60 miles per hour.
The intersection at which the accident occurred in West Chatham is a two-way stop. The grandfather said that for years, he had hoped to see four stop signs at that intersection. Felicia Sylvertooth, the president of the 80th and Harvard Block Club for the last 14 years, said that for the previous six years, she has requested that a stop light be placed at that intersection. She said there is a school called Westscott in the vicinity, and that a stop light would make it safer for children to cross the street. It would also be safer for the crossing guard.
According to police, charges are currently pending against the motorist.

Curra burglar stabbed victim with 20cm-long screwdriver
JAILED: Jeremy Coman pleaded guilty to stabbing a man with a screwdriver during a night-time burglary in Gympie.
scott kovacevic, scott.kovacevics1@news.com.au
21st Nov 2020 12:10 AM | Updated: 6:17 AM
A 21-year-old Curra man will stay in jail until April next year after pleading guilty to stabbing a man in the stomach with a screwdriver after being caught burgling their home.
The victim had gotten out of bed on the night of June 30, to tend his dog when he noticed an upstairs door was open and noises were coming from inside.
Going inside the room he found a TV cabinet ransacked and saw Jeremy Coman jumping over a neighbours fence in the yard.
Gympie District Court heard the victim caught up to Coman, who raised his hands and said he was only trying to hide.
When the victim went to call police Coman pulled out a 20cm-long screwdriver and stabbed him, puncturing his stomach twice leaving wounds 2mm and 4mm deep.
When he was caught, Jeremy Coman stabbed the victim with the blade of a 20cm-long screwdriver.
Coman then tried to flee again; when he was once more caught by the victim, he again tried to stab him.
Coman's lawyer told the court her client struggled with a methylamphetamine addiction.
She said at the time Coman believed "there were people following him and felt he had to take refuge in the house" and had seen a car, although there was no evidence this was true.
He "irrationally" concluded the only way to avoid being dealt with by the police was by stabbing the victim, she said.

Coman pleaded guilty in Gympie district court.
Judge Glen Cash questioned how this aligned with Coman's plea of guilty to the burglary charge, which included an element of intent, but accepted Coman's plea to that charge and one of unlawful wounding.
The court heard Coman had a lengthy criminal history including assault for hitting a 13-year-old child in a Gympie skate park in 2017, other dishonesty and unlawful use of a motor vehicle charges, and stealing and entering premises.
He had been out of jail only three months when he committed this latest crime.
The court also heard between his jail stints he had helped care for another young man who had suffered an acquired brain injury, taking him to appointments.
Jeremy Coman is led back to jail where he will remain until April next year.
Coman's mother submitted a letter to the courts in support of her son.
Mr Cash told Coman there was little doubt what would happen if he did not get his drug problems under control.
"Unless you stop using you'll end up in jail or dead," Mr Cash said, adding Coman was "lucky" no serious injury was inflicted this time.
He sentenced Coman to three years jail and, owing to 142 days already served, gave him a parole release date of April 1, next year.

The notion of quantum spin-liquids (QSLs), antiferromagnets with quantum fluctuation-driven disordered ground states, is now firmly established in one-dimensional (1D) spin systems as well as in their ladder cousins. The spin-1/2 organic insulator κ-(bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene)2Cu2(CN)3 (κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3; ref. 1) with a 2D triangular lattice structure is very likely to be the first experimental realization of this exotic state in D≥2. Of crucial importance is to unveil the nature of the low-lying elementary spin excitations2,3, particularly the presence/absence of a 'spin gap', which will provide vital information on the universality class of this putative QSL. Here, we report on our thermal-transport measurements carried out down to 80 mK. We find, rather unexpectedly, unambiguous evidence for the absence of a gapless excitation, which sharply contradicts recent reports of heat capacity measurements4. The low-energy physics of this intriguing system needs be reinterpreted in light of the present results indicating a spin-gapped QSL phase.
In antiferromagnetically coupled spin systems, geometrical frustrations enhance quantum fluctuations. Largely triggered by the proposal of the resonating-valence-bond theory for S=1/2 degrees of freedom residing on a frustrated two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice5,6,7 and its possible application to high-Tc cuprates with a doped 2D square lattice8,9, realizing/detecting QSLs in 2D systems has been a long-sought goal. Recently, discoveries of QSL states on S=1/2 triangular lattices have been reported in organic compounds, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 (Fig. 1, inset)1,10,11, C2H5(CH3)3Sb[Pd(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate)2]2 (ref. 12) and 3He thin film on graphite13. In particular, the NMR spectrum of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 exhibits no signs of magnetic ordering down to ∼30 mK, which is some four orders of magnitude below the exchange coupling J∼250 K (refs 1, 11). These findings aroused great interest because it is generally believed that whereas a QSL state is realized in the strongly frustrated S=1/2 2D kagome lattice14, which can be viewed as corner-sharing triangles, the classical magnetically ordered state is stable in the less frustrated isotropic Heisenberg triangular lattice15,16. Several ideas, such as a Hubbard model with a moderate onsite repulsion17, a ring exchange model18 and one-dimensionalization by a slight distortion from the isotropic triangular lattice19,20, have been put forth to explain the absence of the long-range magnetic ordering in κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3. Nevertheless, the origin for the QSL state remains unresolved.

As the temperature is lowered, κ(T) decreases and exhibits a broad hump starting to increase at around T*≃6 K. Inset: The crystal structure of a two-dimensional BEDT-TTF layer of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 viewed along the long axes of BEDT-TTF molecules. Pairs of BEDT-TTF molecules form dimers arranged in a triangular lattice in terms of transfer integrals t and t′ between the dimers. The ratio of transfer integrals is nearly unity11 and the spin-1/2 nearly isotropic triangular lattice is realized1.
To understand the nature of novel QSL states, knowledge on the structure of the low-lying excitation spectrum in the zero-temperature limit, particularly the absence/presence of a spin gap, is indispensable, bearing immediate implications on the spin correlations of the ground state, as well as on the quantum numbers carried by each elementary excitation. For instance in 1D, half-integer spin Heisenberg chains feature a massless spectrum, which enables proliferation of low-energy spinon excitations, whereas such excitations are suppressed in the integer spin case, which has a massive spectrum21.
As it is not possible to directly probe the microscopic spin structure using neutron scattering owing to the compound's organic nature, thermodynamic measurements must be adopted to unveil the low-lying excitation of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3. Very recent specific-heat measurements of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 show a large linear temperature-dependent contribution, γ∼15 mJ K−2 mol−1 (ref. 4), which suggests the presence of gapless excitations, similar to the electronic specific heat in metals. This observation provides strong support for several theoretical models, including a QSL with gapless 'spinons', which, like its 1D predecessors are (fermionic) elementary excitations that carry spin-1/2 and zero charge2,3, which are to be compared with conventional (bosonic) magnons that carry spin-1. However, it is premature to conclude that the QSL in κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 is gapless from these measurements because the specific-heat data are plagued by a very large nuclear Schottky contribution below 1 K (ref. 4), which would necessarily lead to ambiguity. Incorporation of a probe that is free from such a contamination is strongly required22.
As pointed out in ref. 3, thermal conductivity (κ) measurements are highly advantageous as probes of elementary excitations in QSLs, because κ is sensitive exclusively to itinerant excitations and is totally insensitive to localized entities such as are responsible for Schottky contributions. The heat is carried primarily by acoustic phonons (κph) and magnetic contributions (κmag). Indeed, a large magnetic contribution to the heat current is observed in low-dimensional spin systems23,24.
As shown in Fig. 1, the thermal conductivity exhibits an unusual behaviour characterized by a hump structure around T*≃6 K. A similar hump is observed in the magnetic part of the specific heat4 and NMR relaxation rate1,10 around T*, although no structural transition has been detected. These results obviously indicate that κmag occupies a substantial portion in κ. Various scenarios, such as a crossover to a QSL state4, a phase transition associated with the pairing of spinons2, spin-chirality ordering25, Z2 vortex formation26 and exciton condensation27, have been suggested as a possible source of the anomaly at T* and warrant further studies.
The thermal conductivity at μ0H=0 and 10 T in the low-temperature regime (T<300 mK) is shown in Fig. 2. A striking deviation of κ/T from a T2 dependence is observed for both samples; both curves exhibit a convex trend. At such low temperatures, the mean free path of phonons is as long as the crystal size and κph/T has a T2 dependence, which has indeed been reported in a similar compound κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 (ref. 28). Therefore, the observed non-T2 dependence, together with the fact that κ is enhanced by magnetic field, definitely indicates the substantial contribution of κmag in κ even in this T range.
Figure 2: Thermal conductivity in the low-temperature region.
Thermal conductivity divided by temperature plotted as a function of T2 below 300 mK in zero field (blue for sample A and green for sample B) and at μ0H=10 T (red, sample A) applied perpendicular to the basal plane. Convex and non-T2 dependent κ/T is observed for both crystals. κ/T of sample A at 10 T shows a nearly parallel shift from that in zero field. It is immediately obvious that κ/T for all data vanishes as extrapolating to T→0 K, indicating the absence of the gapless fermionic excitations. This is in sharp contrast to the specific-heat measurements, which claim the presence of gapless excitations4.
The results shown in Fig. 2 provide key information on the elementary excitations from the QSL state of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3. Most importantly, it is extremely improbable from the experimental data that κ/T in the T→0 K regime has a finite residual value for data of both samples in zero field and that of sample A under 10 T. (Indeed, a simple extrapolation of both data in zero field even gives a negative intersect.) These results lead us to conclude that κ/T vanishes at T=0 K. It should be stressed that the vanishing κ/T immediately indicates the absence of low-lying fermionic excitations, in sharp contrast to the finite γ term reported in the heat capacity measurements4. We believe that the heat capacity measurements incorrectly suggest the presence of gapless excitation, possibly owing to the large Schottky contribution at low temperatures.
The present conclusion is reinforced by comparing the data with the thermal conductivity calculated by assuming a spinon Fermi surface with gapless excitations3, which is given as
where εF is the Fermi energy, m is the electron mass, A is the unit cell area of the layer, d is the interlayer distance and τ is the impurity scattering time. Estimating εF=J as in 1D spin systems29, we compare our result with equation (1) as shown in Fig. 3. It is evident that equation (1) yields κ/T that increases with decreasing T for both clean and dirty cases and is opposite to the observation. Moreover, to obtain the same magnitude of κ/T in this model at the lowest temperature, we need to assume that the mean free path is only a few times longer than the lattice constant a. However, such a large concentration of the impurity is highly unlikely in this clean system1. Thus, the theory based on a gapless fermionic spinon picture is incompatible with the present results, although it may be applicable to other systems.
Figure 3: Comparison between the data and the theory based on the gapless QSL with a spinon Fermi surface.
κ/T data (sample A) in zero field (blue) plotted together with expected dependence of equation (1). The green line is for the clean limit (1/τ=0) and brown for a dirty case with the mean free path as short as 10a, where a(≃0.8 nm) is the lattice parameter of the triangular lattice.
Having established the absence of the low-lying fermionic excitations, we turn to a more detailed analysis of the T dependence of κ. As seen in the inset of Fig. 4, where logκmag is plotted against logT, κmag does not show a power-law dependence on T. As the precise value of κph is unknown, κmag(=κ−κph) is estimated for several values of κph. For each case, no linear relation is observed in this log–log plot. It should be noted that when κph is increased, the nonlinearity becomes more pronounced. This is also manifested by the index n=(dlogκ/dlogT) plotted in the same figure where n increases steeply with decreasing temperature, and subtracting κph from the observed κ even enhances the non-power-law behaviour. Thus, in spite of the ambiguity for estimating κph, we can safely conclude that κmag at low temperatures does not exhibit a power-law temperature dependence. These results place further constraints on the theoretical description of the excitation spectrum; for example, the nodal excitations that may be expected in systems with an anisotropic gap structure2 which will give rise to a power-law dependence of κ on T, in analogy to the quasiparticles in d-wave superconductors, are also absent.
Figure 4: An Arrhenius plot of the thermal conductivity in the low-temperature region.
Inset: logκmag (sample A) in zero field plotted against logT estimated for several values of κph (=0 (blue), 1/2 (green) and 3/4 (orange) of κ at 100 mK) assuming a cubic temperature dependence of κph. In the same figure, the exponent n=(dlogκ/dlogT) obtained by assuming a power-law dependence of κ∝Tn is also plotted (κph=0 (blue), 1/2 (green), 3/4 (orange) of κ at 100 mK). Main panel: An Arrhenius plot of κ of sample A (κ∝exp(−Δ/kBT)) in zero field and at μ0H=10 T. Activation-type behaviour can be seen for both data. The dashed–dotted and dotted lines are fits to equation (1) with α=0.12 W K−1 m−1, β=0.51 W K−4 m−1 and Δ=0.46 K for 0 T, and with α=0.081 W K−1 m−1, β=0.64 W K−4 m−1 and Δ=0.38 K for 10 T, respectively. The green and orange show the same data as in the inset and the fittings for α e−Δ/kBT give α=0.087 W K−1 m−1, Δ=0.45 K and α=0.048 W K−1 m−1, Δ=0.43 K, respectively.
The absence of the gapless excitation implies the presence of a spin gap in the excitation spectrum. To estimate the magnitude of the spin gap, we try to fit the data to
as shown in an Arrhenius plot in Fig. 4. The best fit for the 0 (10) T data gives Δ=0.46 (0.38) K and a β-value that implies that κph is roughly 1/4 of the total κ at 100 mK. We note that the amplitude of Δ is little affected by the choice of κph (see Fig. 4). As the Arrhenius-type behaviour is observed in only one order range of κ, the estimation of the gap size may have a large ambiguity. Nevertheless, we can safely conclude that the estimated gap value from Fig. 4 is strikingly small compared with J (Δ∼J/500) and insensitive to magnetic fields.
This field insensitivity is consistent with a theory of a gapped QSL (ref. 7) with a finite energy gap for both magnetic and non-magnetic excitations. On the other hand, the tiny gap value may alternatively be attributed to a proximity to a quantum critical point of Z2 spin-liquid27, or as a result of a slight anisotropy of J (ref. 19). However, at present, the origin of the spin gap is an open question. It is tempting to associate the extremely small gap value with kBT*(≪J) (instead of to J itself), which may be a characteristic temperature of the QSL of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3. In any case, our low-temperature thermal-transport measurements demonstrate that the fermionic spinons, if present, will experience an instability in this system, which will generate a small gap in the spin excitation spectrum.
κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 single crystals were grown by the electrochemical method. The thermal conductivity was measured by a standard steady-state method with a one-heater–two-thermometer configuration in 3He and dilution refrigerators. The thermal current was applied within the 2D plane and the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the plane. We have measured several deuterated and non-deuterated crystals and observed no significant sample dependence. It has been reported that in superconductors, thermal decoupling between the electron and phonon conductions can be caused by the poor contacts at very low temperatures30. It could be argued that such a decoupling may occur in the phonons and the spinons, and may lead to apparent absence of finite κ/T at T→0 K. However, we note that this is inconsistent with the observed increase of κ with H (shown in Supplementary Information). Because the magnetic field decreases the number of spinons, κ should decrease with H owing to the further reduction of the coupling. Moreover, we measured the thermal conductivity on the samples with the contact resistance ranging from 1 to 20 Ω and found no serious difference in the thermal conductivity at low temperatures.

Let me guess, you have been playing The Guardian Quick crossword and got stuck on the clue Return on investment (5). Well, you have come to the right place to find the answer to this clue.
A blow to put you off work?
"The Everlys' ""When Will ___ Loved"""


The Federal Communications Commission's new consumer-friendly net neutrality rules just took effect last week, and it looks like our first big lawsuit is already on the verge of being filed. That's not surprising at all. What is surprising, perhaps, is that the target of the lawsuit isn't Comcast or Verizon.
According to a new report, Time Warner Cable is about to be slapped with a lawsuit alleging that the ISP charged a video content provider exorbitantly high rates to avoid being throttled.
The FCC and its former cable lobbyist chairman Tom Wheeler shocked us all by proposing new net neutrality rules that were surprisingly fair and pro-consumer. Sure, there may be a loophole or two, but the bottom line is that the new rules prevent the three biggest threats to a fair and open Internet: Paid traffic prioritization, data blocking and bandwidth throttling.
Now, it looks like TWC is about to be accused of holding Internet traffic for ransom violating the new rules where at least two of those faux pas are concerned.
San Diego-based Commercial Network Services (CNS) owns and operates SunDiegoLive, which is a website that serves live video streams from webcams. According to a report from The Washington Post, the company is days away from filing a lawsuit alleging that Time Warner Cable held its traffic — and therefor business — hostage by charging unreasonably high rates to avoid being throttled.
Of course, if a webcam site is unable to deliver smooth video feeds, its business will undoubtedly suffer.
CNS boss Barry Bahrami says TWC's policies are a "blatant violation" of the FCC's new net neutrality rules, which took effect this past Friday. "This is not traffic we're pushing to Time Warner; this is traffic that their paying Internet access subscribers are asking for from us," he told The Post.
Time Warner Cable responded to the story by stating that it has done nothing wrong, and that CNS's complaint falls under the much-debated topic of peering.


In a perfect world, your business would achieve 100% of the market share. It is not just a figure to dream about though, it has real significance when establishing the value proposition for your business! The figure called Total Addressable Market or TAM helps you gauge the size of your market, and whether or not you have the capabilities to service it. TAM is usually calculated in annual revenue or unit sales.
Cara has decided to open up a Mexican restaurant in her rural hometown. She knows that the town's population is 200,000 people. Of these 200,000 people, research reveals that only 100,000 would eat at a Mexican restaurant. If the average meal at this restaurant for one person costs about $25, this would mean the TAM for Cara's restaurant would be two and a half million dollars annually. That sounds like a nice, big figure, but remember in calculating TAM, you're assuming 100% of the market share!

American Crime Season 2 to Focus on Sexual Identity, Class Warfare
By Michael Ausiello / June 8 2015, 7:20 PM PDT
Racial politics will take a backseat to issues involving class and sexuality when American Crime returns with its second season next year.
"[In Season 1] we dealt with race and faith; in Season 2 we want to deal a lot more with class," exec producer John Ridley tells TVLine. "We want to deal with gender issues, sexual orientation and sexual identity."
The acclaimed drama will also shift its setting from Northern California to "the midwest" and feature a different "inciting incident," according to Ridley. (TVLine has learned that much of the Season 2 action is expected to take place at an elite prep school that boasts a disparate student body, including a gay basketball star.)
"It's going to be a whole different set of circumstances," adds Ridley. "We're hoping that we can not only make it provocative, but humanize people as well. If there's one thing that American Crime did very well, it took issues that are generally just a headline and put faces on them. I'm hoping we can do that in the second season."
Season 1 regulars Timothy Hutton and Felicity Huffman will be back for Season 2, playing completely different characters. And if Ridley has his way, more Crime vets will join them. "We're still trying to work out people's schedules and work out deals," he says, "[But] I would love to get as many of them back for the second season as I can." (With reporting by Rebecca Iannucci)

Meet New Residents Street Lab aka the Uni Project
July 6, 2018 /in Residents /by Desiree Frieson
Street Lab is a nonprofit that creates unique programs for public space across New York City—pop-up reading rooms, open-air drawing studios, and more. Our passion is bringing people together and transforming public space, and we focus on solutions that communities can't easily implement themselves, sharing our solutions across the city. We choose pop-up locations based on requests from community groups, and we work in partnership with NYC Parks and NYC Dept. of Transportation, prioritizing underserved areas. We also send kits around the world so that other cities can do the same. In New York City, we are known primarily as the Uni Project.
Desiree Frieson: Tell us how The Uni Project got started. When was your aha moment? (Tell us about the process of starting up.)
Sam Davol: In 2005, we moved our family to downtown Boston temporarily (it ended up being for six years), and we wanted to contribute to our new neighborhood, which was full of empty spaces after a major urban reconstruction project called the "Big Dig." We started doing pop-up experiments, to draw people downtown and activate space. We saw a vacant lot across the street, and we created an outdoor movie festival called Films at the Gate in Chinatown, inviting people to bring take-out from local restaurants. We did other projects, like dance rehearsals in a empty storefront, and eventually created a nonprofit called Street Lab to do this kind of work.
Before returning to NYC, we did one final project in Boston called the Chinatown Storefront Library which was a community-run library in a vacant storefront, with 5000+ donated books and events that ran into the evening. (https://www.storefrontlibrary.org/) Passersby could see library patrons on the inside of the storefront glass, displaying values that were important to us and other residents of Chinatown. The Storefront Library was our most popular project in Boston, but we noticed something interesting in our data: during good weather, our patron numbers dropped. It turned out that people were going to the park instead of our space. With that lesson in mind, on moving back to New York in 2011, we launched the Uni Project, which was a pop-up reading room designed to go where people already gather, including parks, plazas—anywhere, really. Last year, we completed our 500th deployment in NYC, and we now work city-wide, reaching all five boroughs with different programs for public space: READ, DRAW, BUILD, EXPLORE, and more. (https://www.theuniproject.org/programs/) In 2018, we're expanding the scope of our programs further, and we are re-introducing our original nonprofit name Street Lab to be an envelope for programs that range beyond learning and education.
Desiree: Who is on your team?
Sam: Leslie serves as Executive Director, focusing on program management and development, partnerships, administration, fundraising. Sam focuses on logistics, design, fabrication, and communications. Leah Kaplan is our full-time Program and Operations Manager. And we have a roster of 10 part-time staff who work in the field, including several LCC students. We also have 35 active volunteers and other pro bono contributors (architects, designers, educators, etc.)
Desiree: Who are your primary customers?
Sam: For our programming work, we are focused on creating a great experience for the New Yorkers who walk up and engage with our programs (all of which are free). If it doesn't work for them, nothing else really matters. We also seek to please and address the needs of the 100+ community partners and city agencies that host us in each location. We deploy only where we are invited, so without them, we're not going anywhere. Finally, there are funders and sponsors who make our work possible, and they get our attention as well.
The other part of our work involves fabricating programming "kits" for other organizations and cities so they can copy our model. Most of our customers have been libraries, and we've also built for park conservancies, museums, and the US State Department. Here's a list: (https://www.theuniproject.org/in-other-cities/)
Desiree: Tell us about your fundraising strategy as a non-profit. What opportunities are on the horizon for The Uni Project?
Sam: We've worked hard to diversify our revenue sources, so that we are not solely dependent on charitable donations. We bring in a significant amount of earned revenue from program fees and sales of kits to other cities around the world. One area where we feel there is room to grow is corporate sponsorship.
Desiree: Tell us about your biggest accomplishment to date and why are you so proud of it.
Sam: One of our goals is to be a 100% climate neutral organization by the end of this year. Our partnership with NYC Department of Transportation now includes a truck sharing arrangement, so that most of our equipment rides on existing NYC DOT truck routes. This partnership lets us reach hundreds of new locations with programming while cutting our organization's trucking by about 75%. We think there will be an increasing demand for services in NYC that are provided sustainably and use cooperation to reduce energy use. We want to show how that can be done in our work.
Desiree: How can people get involved with the Uni Project?
Sam: Stop by our studio or reach out in any other way! Volunteering with us on the street is a great way to explore the city and meet fellow New Yorkers. Offering pro bono design or professional help is another great way to make a contribution that can impact scores of neighborhoods across the city. We'd also love help finding funders and sponsors.

Every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
Have you ever noticed how many people fail to enjoy life? They work and do nothing but complain about their work, people and their lives. Happiness for them is always somewhere else. They never enjoy life's journey and only look for a destination they without effort hope to attain. How sad, how foolish. Life is a journey to be enjoyed—it is a gift of God. We must learn the difference between satisfaction and contentment. We are to be content wherever we are, but we are not to be satisfied until we get to our destination. Those who are satisfied with their lot don't have a lot. Those who are content with their lot get a lot. Contentment is a state of mind and spirit. Satisfaction is a state of the flesh and soul. It is one thing to be satisfied with food, but quite another to be satisfied with life. Contentment moves forward; satisfaction stands still. Therefore, enjoy the good of your labor—it is a gift from God.

Italy to keep troops in Afghanistan
Italy has agreed to keep Italian troops in Afghanistan despite opposition from pacifists in the coalition government who have threatened to vote against the mission in parliament.
The decree still needs parliamentary approval
The government of Romano Prodi, the Italian prime minister, unanimously adopted a decree on Friday that extends financing for Italy's overseas military operations after it expires at the end of June.
The debate over Italy's troops in Afghanistan has exposed divisions in Prodi's disparate coalition, which ranges from Catholic centrists to communists, less than two months after he assumed power following a razor-thin election victory.
The decree will need parliamentary approval, and eight pacifists in Prodi's centre-left coalition have threatened to vote against the measure in the Senate, where the new prime minister has just a two-seat majority.
"As far as I'm concerned, my vote stays decidedly 'no'," said Gigi Malabarba, a communist senator. But he said he would wait to see the text of the measure.
Arturo Parisi, the defence minister, who had previously alarmed some allies by refusing to rule out troop increases, said on Friday there would be no increase in troops or financial obligations in Afghanistan.
The government is expected to put the Afghanistan mission to a vote in parliament in mid-July. If the motion fails, it could trigger a government crisis.
Italy has 1,300 troops in Afghanistan under a Nato-led mission.
On the ground in Afghanistan on Friday, coalition forces attacked a Taliban safe house and killed 14 insurgents.

command in Afghanistan
A coalition statement said that soldiers tracked a group of insurgents to a compound in the Kamdesh district of Nuristan province in eastern Afghanistan.
"The extremists were observed hiding and then coalition forces attacked them once they reached their safe house, destroying two buildings in the compound," the statement said.
The statement said soldiers discovered the bodies of 14 fighters inside the compound. The coalition gave no details on the nationality of the soldiers.
In a separate incident, Afghan and coalition forces raided a village in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar early on Friday, killing one suspected insurgent and detaining eight others.
The military said that the raid in Gapozal village occurred after coalition officials obtained information from detained insurgents on where others might be hiding.

Mindy Kaling has some interesting taste in men.
"My very first crush — the kind that keeps you up at night — was on Dana Carvey when I was 11 years old," she revealed while discussing her upcoming memoir — and her list of one-time crushes — with best friend (and ex-boyfriend) B.J. Novak on stage Saturday at New York City's Bookcon. "It wasn't until I got older that I liked bad boys."
The actress, 35, confessed, "I loved Christian Slater. I wanted so badly for Christian Slater to take my virginity."
But does Kaling count her former flame Novak, 35, as a bad boy?
"You're like the baddest of the good boys," she told her former "Office" co-star. "At space camp you're the kid who smoked weed."

The "Mindy Project" creator also admitted her love for a hairy-chested Pierce Brosnan in 1994's "Mrs. Doubtfire."
"It's telling that you had a crush on Pierce Brosnan as the dad from 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and not 'James Bond,'" observed Novak, which caused the 2,200-person crowd to erupt in laughter.

Gorilla Presents New Opportunities for Smart Enterprises, the Media and Entertainment Industries, at "Bringing NAB to Bangkok"
TAIPEI, Taiwan—On Wednesday July 25th, 2012, Gorilla Technology Group co-hosted the "Bringing NAB to Bangkok" event with EMC2 to discuss the latest trends in content creation and management, while presenting breakthrough technologies satisfying these trends with new solutions for repurposing content while generating revenue and increasing audience reach.
Dr. Spincer Koh, co-founder and CEO of Gorilla Technology Group, showcased Gorilla's recent global success stories including Merck, Watsons and UniNet in Thailand.
Coinciding with the theme of NAB 2012 "The Great Content Shift", Dr. Koh analyzed the drawbacks of traditional content workflows compared to the new advances in Media Asset Management technology. He further shared the industry implications and his vision for the latest trends in content creation and delivery.
One emerging trend is driven by the accessibility and high performance of the internet, which enables organizations to easily share their content across the globe. Citing real industry cases, Dr. Koh explained that Gorilla's "Collaboration Platform" improves production efficiency with a non-linear workflow. For example, Gorilla Story Cut web-based video editor facilitates communication of story ideas throughout the production process. X-Share Server enables multiple editors to share projects between multiple editing platforms such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid NLE, and Adobe Premier.
A second major trend is that content creation is no longer limited to professional production companies. Instead, enterprises big and small can now utilize consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras to create content, which they can then edit and re-use multiple times for their communication.
Gorilla presented its new Enterprise TV solution and service model as a new approach to what Dr. Koh defined as "Next-Generation Unified Communication". Dr. Koh emphasized how a smart enterprise will benefit from creating more value from existing content assets and two-way communication, while shifting from a single-site infrastructure mindset to a multi-site global-scale private enterprise cloud.
Furthermore, Gorilla announced the launch of the 4th generation Gorilla Broadcast Tapeless, Gorilla "SilverBack". The newly revamped Gorilla "SilverBack" features the previously mentioned "Collaboration Platform" and "Media Operation Control System" for status monitoring and control of a globally networked tapeless workflow.
"Gorilla continues to provide powerful technology and leading solutions by keeping a keen eye on the latest industry needs and market trends in content creation, management and delivery." said Dr. Spincer Koh, CEO of Gorilla Technology Group. "Gorilla at NAB 2012 demonstrated exactly that with solutions providing more flexible means of working method that enhance workflow efficiency even more."
With over 10 years' experience in developing digital content technology, Gorilla offers a range of robust products and customized tapeless workflow solutions for broadcast TV, media companies and media facilities; intelligent video surveillance solutions featuring analytics for enterprise business surveillance; and network intelligence and forensics for telecommunications and web service industries.
Scalable modules built on an open architecture ensure streamlined workflows for the capture, analysis, archiving, storage, repurposing, production, and distribution of valuable unstructured assets, whether video, audio, or other forms of content.

Q: Java Average of integers i seem to be having trouble figuring out what to set the variable intValue to  under the read value methods. The program is supposed to take 10 integers and average them, it works fine as far as catching exceptions and input, but the output displays all the numbers as 0 (because i set it to 0 temporarily but can not figure out what to change it to). Heres the code
package averagenumdriver;
import static java.lang.Integer.parseInt;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class AverageOfIntegers {
   //Declare variables
   private int numberOfValues;
   private int[] integerValues;
   private double average;

   public AverageOfIntegers(int numberOfValues){
   this.numberOfValues = numberOfValues;

   }
   //Define the readValues()
   public void readValues(){
   String stringValue = null;
   int intValue = 0, i;
   Scanner console = null;
   i = 0;
   integerValues = new int[numberOfValues];
      while(i < numberOfValues){
         try
         {
            console = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Enter value : ");
            //read the value
            stringValue = console.nextLine();
            //check for number
            intValue = 0;
            parseInt(stringValue);
            //Store only integer values
            integerValues[i++] = intValue;
         }
         catch(NumberFormatException ex)
         {
            //Catch exception and handle it
            System.out.println("Invalid Number entered" + "Reenter again ");
            continue;
         }
         }
         }
   //read integer values
         public void printValues()
         {
            System.out.println("Given values are ");
            for (int i = 0; i < numberOfValues; i++)
            {
               System.out.println("Number: " + (i + 1) + " = " +
integerValues[i]);

            }
         }
         public double getAverage()
         {
            int sum = 0;
            //Calcualte the sum of integer values
            for (int i = 0; i < numberOfValues; i++)
            {
               sum += integerValues[i];
            }
            //calculate average
            average = (double)sum / numberOfValues;
            return(average);

         }
      }

EDIT* question seems to be marked as a duplicate, but I am not asking about why division with two integers where the denominator is greater than numerator yields a 0.

A: Change
        //check for number
        intValue = 0;
        parseInt(stringValue);

TO
        //check for number
        intValue = parseInt(stringValue);

France to procure Northrop Grumman's E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
By admin 01/07/2021
The government of France signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) with the U.S. government signifying their intent to purchase Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Northrop Grumman announced.
The LOA allows the U.S. Navy to begin contracting activities with Northrop Grumman for production of E-2D airborne command and control aircraft. The signed LOA secures the sale that will include three E-2D aircraft, nonrecurring engineering, spares, repairs and support equipment, training and follow-on support, within the congressional approval funding limit. The anticipated contract award will be in 2022 with aircraft delivery to France in 2028 at the latest.
"The procurement of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye will provide France a generational leap in capability for unparalleled situational awareness for their air defense fleets," said Janice Zilch, vice president, manned airborne surveillance programs, Northrop Grumman. "We have a long standing relationship with France as it transitions to E-2D's from a two-decade legacy of E-2C aircraft."
The French Navy has been operating the E-2C Hawkeye since 1998 and is the only country other than the United States to operate its E-2 Hawkeyes from an aircraft carrier. This capability enables interoperability exercises that support Hawkeyes from each other's carrier flight decks. With the U.S. Navy's fleet transition to E-2D squadrons, the French Navy intends to maintain interoperability and partnership by taking steps to procure three E-2D aircraft.
The E-2D is the U.S. Navy's premier airborne command and control aircraft for all targets and all environments. It delivers advanced radar capability for unmatched detection and tracking. Additionally, it provides 360 degree simultaneous air and maritime surveillance, enabling nations to protect sea lanes, monitor coastlines and support civilian emergency coordination operations. The E-2D is a force multiplier for interoperability, reciprocal information sharing and commonality across the battle force.
Northrop Grumman solves the toughest problems in space, aeronautics, defense and cyberspace to meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers worldwide. Our 90,000 employees define possible every day using science, technology and engineering to create and deliver advanced systems, products and services."

The Catholic Church; The Foremost Enemy of Satanic Driven Virtue
November 23, 2014 Bible, biblical, catholic, catholic church, commentary, Ephesians, God, Judeo-Christian Principle, morality, Pledge of Allegiance, Satan, seven deadly sins, sin, St. PaulLarry Peterson
The United States of America is the only nation in history to have used the Judeo-Christian Principle as the lynchpin for the nation's development and growth. So, what happened? How did this principle seemingly get tossed into the dumpster of the outdated and irrelevant? How did this principle of ethics and morality based on the Ten Commandments and the "Golden Rule" somehow become a pariah to so many? Why would anyone want to remove the words, "under God", from the Pledge of Allegiance or the name of God from our coins or government buildings? What is going on? How did these principles ever become inverted?
It is, in my opinion, all biblical. And why not? We started out as a nation using the Bible as our cornerstone. Isn't it fitting that those opposed to us would try to destroy that very stone? Of course it is. But there is one critical aspect that drives this onslaught and I think we do not pay close enough attention to it. Neither do the ones committing the onslaught. Those that are flailing away at our religious heritage and freedoms are not committing these attacks on their own. They have a brilliant, diabolical, hate-consumed leader inspiring them onward. Their leader's name is Satan. And Satan's biggest and most hated enemy is the church that Jesus Christ founded, the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church was founded by Christ 2000 years ago. The Church is His "bride". We are all part of the Catholic family. (The word Catholic means 'universal' so it is for everyone–if they so choose). And the reason Satan hates Christ's church so much is because it still spits in his evil eye and says NO! It still has rules. It has standards that have been in place for two thousand years. It still has the "nerve and audacity" to use the words, SIN and MORALITY. In today's self-indulged secular world anything or anyone that might suggest that a particular behavior is "immoral" or "sinful" is branded and vilified as intolerant and uncaring. How pompous and pride filled this is. Only the new age secularists would have the audacity to suggest that their inverted "virtue" is GOOD and the concept of self-denial is SINFUL.
Our old comic book friend, Superman, on occasion used to get stuck in "Bizarro World", a place where everything was backwards. Up was down and hello meant good-bye. Even the planet, Htrae, (Earth backwards), was shaped like a cube. The world was inverted. It is the same with the insanity of inverted secular virtue. I call this world "Secularro".
On Secularro killing is "Good" and if you stand against it you are bad. For instance, take abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and partial-birth abortion. The church says NO! On Secularro the Church is now bad. Fornication and people "hooking up" for one-night stands is heralded as "Good". The church says NO! On Secularro the church is told to mind its own business. Divorced and remarried Catholics want to receive the Holy Eucharist. The church says NO! (This is nothing new) . On Secularro the church is intolerant and insensitive and is out of touch with the modern world and needs to get into the 21st century. Homosexuals demand to be married in the Church. The Church says NO! Marriage is between a man and a woman ONLY. Satan screams from his evil world to his followers,'Say YES! YES! YES!"
On Secularro the inverted unwittingly listen to him and pound on the dogmatic doors of the Catholic Church demanding that they be opened to personal wants and desires. Unlike Bizarro World where things are just 'crazy' on Secularro World things are mean and vindictive. Secularro World is ruled by hate. Satan is Hate.
There are other Christian denominations that have succumbed to outside pressures and reworked their "teachings" to accommodate the demands from Secularro. They have been praised as "progressive" and "in touch" with the needs of the citizens of Secularro. Their mission is to save souls for Christ and guide these souls to their Eternal Reward in heaven. They have failed in this mission. But the Catholic Church has not caved into the demands and pressures of Secularro World. Satan HATES this more than any of us can imagine. That is why the Catholic Church is Satan's (im)mortal enemy.
The Catholic Church still teaches that there are Seven Deadly Sins. They are pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth aka laziness. Note the key word in describing these sins is the word "deadly". The Church teaches that these sins can destroy the soul of anyone who might indulge these human appetites. The church also offers forgiveness for falling prey to these sins. On Secularro the church is mocked and laughed at for suggesting these actions offend God. These acts are acceptable because the individual committing one of these sins is just being human and God made us that way and wants us to be "happy". So–sin away. How inverted can one get. If you subscribe to that concept SATAN wins.
It is time to start looking hard at the Bible. And we might start by going to St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. Chapter 6: 16-17.
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield,
To quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit,
which is the word of God.

The directory development/realtime/buffer/java contains a couple of Java classes that implement a client-side interface to the FieldTrip buffer (socket connections only). The classes wrap FieldTrip-style header structures, events, and client connections to a server. The implementation is not complete yet, and in particular only reading requests (GET_HDR, GET_DAT, GET_EVT, WAIT_DATA) are functional so far.


The socially conscious investor will find a wide range of Eco-friendly stocks and mutual funds to choose from, both small and large. Due to the influence of world-wide concern over global pollution and carbon dioxide, the investor will find many large corporations are snapping up green companies to add to their list of products. The small cap companies Environmental Power Corp. trades under the ticker EPG on the AMEX exchange.
This stock currently sells in the $5 range. The company and its subsidiaries engage in the ownership, development and operation of renewable energy facilities in the United States. EPG owns 83 leasehold of land.
It has plants that utilize animal and food industry waste to produce bio-mass and other forms of alternative fuel that utilize their renewable energy biogas. A good reason to give this company a good look is that it filed a notice with the SEC that it has a firm commitment from an underwriter to make and offering of over four million shares of his stock. If the offering goes forward the company could realize a gain in the price as well as an infusion of over 22 million dollars.
There are numerous ways to get into the green, Eco-friendly stocks. There are mutual funds and indexes available. In addition there are segments in wind, health foods and solar energy that have opportunities for investment. Investments in the oil sector There are advantages to investing in areas of the stock market that you know or have some personal experience with on a daily basis. Nearly everyone is effected in one way or another by the commodity oil. If you are an individual you take note of prices at the gas pump, heating bill and other uses of oil.
If you are a business owner the price of oil is a factor in the operation of your business. For the purposes of this article the two areas that will be covered is oil & gas and oil service stocks. The first area oil & gas covers some of the big oil stocks whose names you may know. The second area is the oil service stocks that support and aid the extraction and distribution of oil. The cost of purchasing stock in this stock is relatively cheap when you consider the likes of Google selling for in excess of $500 per share.
Still other intellectual property stocks on the market and conglomerates sell for in excess of $200 a share. The range of prices in Big Oil is between $61 to $89 per share. What you get is a stock that is capitalized with billions of dollars, has a management team that is beyond exceptional and an underlying product "oil" that is in short supply. This has been a brief overview of the oil sector. Review your investment objectives and seek the advice of licensed estate planner or stock broker.

« Leadership in a World of Narcissists | Main | Narcissism with Real World Consequences II »
In America, we have so much to be thankful for that we often take it for granted and fail to appreciate how special this nation is; as a member of a traditionally mistreated minority, I appreciate the wisdom and moral clarity of our founding fathers, who established a nation which was by no means perfect, but allowed for evolutionary and revolutionary change to take place and be incorporated into our system. Whether you attribute our wealth of spirit and material goods to an Almighty God or to our most excellent luck in having had the collective wisdom of our founding fathers to establish the Unite States (and thus far, the wisdom to keep our United States free and prosperous), no one ever said it better than the President who guided this nation through its most perilous days:
Proclamation Establishing Thanksgiving Day
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
A. Lincoln
May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and please remember and give thanks to all those fighting to defend our freedoms and bring freedom to others. They are far from their homes on this day but close in our thoughts.
