Service Pack 5 for PaintShop Photo Pro X3 has been released.
NEW: Service Pack 1 for PaintShop Pro X4 has also been released.
You should install all of the Service Packs sequentially.
SP5 for PSPPX3 fixes many (but not all) of incompatibilities with plugins and other problems that were introduced with SP3.
SP1 for PSPX4 fixes many (but not all) documented and undocumented problems. It also changes the workspace: adds color icons and small icons to the toolbar (which can be turned off or changed in preferences), adds different workspace color schemes (although some features like the histogram currently only display properly with the Dark Gray scheme), old (Pre-SP1) saved workspaces cannot be used after SP1 is installed (due to core changes in the workspace).


Unfortunately often, even the best minds get it the wrong way about! Here is James Surowiezki at the New Yorker telling us that markets are being upset by incompetent or dithering politicians.
In fact the opposite is the case! It is not governments that upset the markets - but rather markets that set the aganda for governments to meet! The greatest danger to capitalism is the one we are trying to outline here on this site: - namely, that capitalist governments are trying to preserve capitalist "rules" (profitability based on monetary measurement) because they rely on "markets" to tell them what to do, precisely at a time when "markets' are themselves no longer able to deal with the problems of "private" capitalist industry - taking on the workers in the workplace! As a result, "markets" seek to exploit "financial opportunities" that serve only to de-stabilise the governments (collective capitalists) on which they rely to enforce those very "rules"!
In seeking to preserve the "rules" of capitalism (to repay "interest" on public debt), governments are having to destroy the "private" economy from which they derive the "revenue" ti pay those "debts"! And their very adherence to these "rules" allows "private capital" to force governments into measures that further reduce their ability to observe those "rules" and to keep our society of capital alive!
This is the insane vicious circle or circuit from which we need a "Rooseveltian circuit-breaker"!


Earlier this month, a new phase of construction began on the Purple Line Extension, which means we're one step closer to having a station at Wilshire/La Brea! Granted, it won't be done until 2023, but hey—there's no better time than the present to consider a public transit-based itinerary.
Once it's open, the Wilshire/LaBrea extension will bring with it plenty of opportunities for glorious, carless exploration: You'll be able to eat and drink and not worry about driving home (or increased Uber fares). Why should you be so excited about spending time in Mid-Wilshire? Well, for one, the New York Times recently revealed that "District La Brea" is "one of the hippest drags in town," despite having great places to eat, drink, and shop for, like, several decades. (Yes, the term "District La Brea" is a real thing. But also, hearing an Angeleno say it would be as laughable as hearing a San Franciscan call their city "San Fran.") It may be seven years off, but for amusement's sake, let's pretend it was open now. If that were the case, here's how you'd be able to spend a day—and a night—in DLB.
Start with a delish lunch of tomato bisque and grilled cheese at La Brea Bakery Cafe. Wander up north a few blocks to LAB ART, the largest street art gallery in the U.S., then cross the street to check out the Merry Karnowski Gallery, once famous for being so popular that fans hopped fences to get in to opening receptions. A little further north, you'll find wallspace (featured above), which shows contemporary and abstract pieces.
After all that, head back down towards the stop to have dinner at Republique (probably not a bad idea to reserve a table in advance). Their market-inspired cocktails are some of the best in L.A., and currently include a White Boulevardier made with bourbon, vermouth, and Suze, as well as a grapefruit cocktail featuring lime, tequila, Pamplemousse, and vermouth.
If Republique isn't your speed, make a night of exploring what's happening south of the new stop. Grab a late lunch at Danny Trejos' newly-opened Trejo's Tacos. Head back north to hit up happy hour at Rascal; keep drinking until you've worked up an appetite again, then swing by JINYA for some ramen before bouncing over to Little Bar (above), a Boston-themed dive with your favorite whiskey on the shelf and beers on tap. Cap the night off with margaritas (and more snacks) at Candela, which also offers $1 taco Wednesdays.


Before you book off vacation time in your calendar, check out ours! Let us find you hot deals to hot destinations, or anywhere else for that matter, any day of the week. Whether it's an all-inclusive deal or a cheap vacation, have fun finding your perfect trip in a matter of clicks!
Hmmm, looks like there are no results for that search.
Try a different duration, star rating or price range maybe?
We all love direct flights, but that may be what's holding back the results.
You've got a few options chosen there. Maybe one less will do the trick?
It's getting close to the end of the month. Maybe try next month instead?

Guy Cochrane
Science/Data Team
Research Geophysicist
Tell us about your work/research. What kinds of things do you do?
I specialize in seafloor mapping of surficial geology and benthic habitat. The maps are useful for the management of benthic fisheries, offshore minerals, and offshore energy. The maps are derived from multibeam echosounder (MBES) data and seafloor video data. In my work, ROV transect plans are developed by classifying the MBES data into Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard depth, slope, and induration classes. The goal, when making maps, is to have sufficient video for ground-truth in areas representing each combination of classes to subsequently make statistically robust models of the geology and habitat. The goal for exploration is to identify transects across likely habitat for species or features of interest. In recent years deepwater corals and rockfish have been the species of interest to managers.
What sparked your initial interest in your career?
Jacques Cousteau is why I started diving in high school. In my senior year in high school, I started work at the Anchor Shack dive shop owned by Bob Hollis who had just started producing Oceanic Products underwater camera equipment and there I developed an interest in underwater photography. When I was an Oceanography major at Humboldt State University my primary specialization was Geological Oceanography but I retained an interest in Biological Oceanography. After undergraduate school I was hired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program as a geological assistant to a Marine Geophysicist. I continued working at the USGS on and off while attending graduate school focusing on geophysics and the flow of fluids from marine sediment under compression in subduction zones. Where these fluids escape into the ocean there are often unique chemosynthetic communities of fauna. So now I am an underwater photographer who uses geophysics to make models of geology and habitat.
Who influenced you or encouraged you the most?
My social studies teacher in high school, Eleanor Sekerak, gave a lecture on plate tectonics that blew my mind, otherwise I might have been a marine biologist. Kevin Wong gave me the job at the Anchor Shack that inspired a lot of confidence in me. My Geo-ocean professor at HSU, Robert Thompson, was a great role model.
What element of your work/study do you think is the most fascinating?
I was trained as a Deepworker submersible pilot and participated in the Sustainable Seas Expeditions for NOAA where I experimented on the use of a one-man, scientist-operated submersible as a habitat mapping ground-truth instrument.
What other jobs led you to your current career?
My interest in the influence of geological processes on benthic ecosystems was increased by early work on fluids in subduction zones. I was a student member of the original Alvin submersible work in an area where cold-water fluid seep chemosynthetic faunal communities were first observed off Oregon on a feature now called Hydrate Ridge.
What are your degrees and certifications?
Bachelor of Science in Geological Oceanography - Humboldt State University, Bachelor of Arts in Geology - Humboldt State University,
Masters of Science in Geological Oceanography - University of Washington,
Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Science - University of California Santa Cruz
What are your hobbies?
I battle weeds and gophers in my yard.
How did you get involved with the Nautilus Exploration Program?
I work with NOAA sanctuaries on mapping habitat and designing video transect plans for the discovery of species and features of interest.
What advice would you give someone who wants to have a career like yours?
My bachelors level statistics course was an ok introduction but you should be much better at statistics if you want to classify MBES data into models. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software is used for mapping and many useful GIS tools assume a solid understanding of statistics. If you don't like physics and calculus choose geology over geophysics. For geophysics, you will need to understand sound wave propagation so that you can distinguish the seafloor from a school of fish in the MBES data. For geology, you will need to get your hands dirty.
Guy participated in the following Ocean Exploration Trust expeditions:
Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries
Central California NMS

"They said, 'We don't have arms".
"Obviously, this is a setback for the Afghan security forces", Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said Tuesday of the loss of Kunduz. All night long the Taliban were playing religious songs through loudspeakers from the roofs of people's homes and also from pick-up trucks that they were driving around in. There have been no fatalities on our side.
Can government keep key city secure? The insurgents still have a presence in various parts of the city, he tells a press conference. "Small guerrilla forces remain in various neighborhoods". "We have to clear all the surrounding areas and open transport links so people can come and go".
The city was captured by the Taliban during an overnight assault on Monday.
"The war is ongoing", he said.
He said about 200 Taliban fighters have been killed in the fighting so far but did not provide a figure for government casualties.
The NDS said earlier this year that the Taliban wanted to make Kunduz and Badakhshan centres of global terrorism operations – an obvious threat to neighbouring countries.
The Taliban started firing at government troops from inside people's houses and from the top of high-rise buildings.
The Taliban military movement launched a large-scale offensive in April, despite continuous attempts by the Afghan government to resume peace talks.
The office's Twitter account says they discussed "the security situation and latest developments" on Thursday afternoon. In Kunduz, the mayor was appointed by President Ashraf Ghani, while the police chief of commands was supported by NUG CEO Abdullah Abdullah.
The Taliban's recent advances in Kunduz and neighboring Takhar and Baghlan provinces highlight that a large and strategic patch of northern Afghanistan is imperilled by a rapidly expanding insurgency.
Fighting has continued with the group capturing and then losing the strategic districtof Musa Kala in the southern province of Helmand last month.
The majority of the casualties were civilians, including women and children, the doctors said.
However, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, said the fighting was continuing.
A lot has been attributed to the eventual fall of the Kunduz city – from weak central powers to the rise of a new Taliban chief.
They had only advanced about one kilometre during the day, he added. "Those strikes prompted the Taliban to escape", Kunduz resident Abdul Qadir Anwari said on Thursday.
Afghan security forces arrive in the city of Kunduz, Afghanistan October 1, 2015.
Army spokesman, Colonel Brian Tribus, had said that USA and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation coalition advisers, including special forces, were also at the scene "in the Kunduz area, advising Afghan security forces".
They said the hospital was running low on medical supplies and suffering from a shortage of medicine and staff as many employees had run away. He spoke over the phone to the AP. "We are still looking for explosives, terrorists and suicide bombers".
Independent sources from Kunduz have also confirmed that Afghan forces entered the city early Thursday morning.
In May, US President Barack Obama had said that by the end of 2015 the American force in Afghanistan would be roughly half of the current total of about 10,000 and would operate only from bases in the capital, Kabul, and Bagram, a giant air base near that city. A Taliban commander acknowledged his fighters had failed to hold the airport but said the Islamist group's forces were still in control of the city.
According to one resident who did not want to be named, the Taliban flag in the main square had been removed and a few shops had reopened.


This was given to a guitar student to help them improve their legato rhythm. Most of this is picked. This is to help establish how the flow and rhythm of the notes is supposed to sound, so when you finally play the small parts with legato you have a better chance of keeping that rhythm going instead of speeding things up as most players have a tendency to do.


THOROUGHBRED CENTER IN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY.
So when I was in Kentucky earlier this month, one thing that I REALLY wanted to do and come back with was a video montage from start to finish of my entire trip down there, right from the second I left my house to when I got back.
I did not bring any of my video cameras with me but I did bring my NEW GoPro Hero 7 Black with me, that I had just acquired a couple weeks prior to my trip, after testing out a friend's copy and fell in love with it so much that I ended up buying one for myself. I have never been a GoPro fan (always favored the Sony's) but the new 7 Black is one very impressive piece of gear that I have some great uses for.
Unfortunately, as much as I tried to do a creative and super fun video montage, it just was not possible. My hands were absolutely tied with pictures and capturing all the other moments, so getting video throughout the entire trip would have either required another person to be with me or have completely separate days just to film make. Shooting a video montage from start to finish on a trip requires a lot of time as you are constantly recording and I just could not find the time for it.
However, I did get a very short clip of one very cool building down in Lexington that caught my eye, the Thoroughbred Center! Just the outside, as I was only there for a few minutes and it was raining out but a very nice training center nonetheless. I could only imagine how it looks in the Spring and Summer months. I just love historic buildings with clean lines and strong architectural accents.

Are you motivated to lose body fat and get that mighty fine beach body in prestige shape?
Have you tried to stay disciplined and ultimately fail when trying a detox or fad diet?
Dieting itself is the problem, not you.
It's time to become a lifestyle eater, instead of a struggling dieter that is unhappy the entire time because you are fighting against your urges to remain disciplined.
People all over the world are starting to catch on to the incredible benefits of Intermittent Fasting!
Daily fasting works wonders for fat burn because it has gone hand in hand with the history and story of human evolution and the natural dieting patterns of human beings for the vast majority our existence!
Due to the nature of how people were forced to feed and the scarcity and randomness of food supply up until the last 100 years or so, we have evolved to fast regularly without detrimental health consequences.
"Intermittent" basically means on and off at irregular intervals.
Below are the basics to preparing and successfully getting through your first few days of practicing Intermittent Fasting and gaining the benefits of burning fat each and every day with minimal effort!
The most common structure of the fasting and feeding windows is the 16:8 intervals.
This is where you have an 8 hour window of which you consume all of your food in for the day, typically between the hours of 12pm and 8pm, or whatever period best suits your lifestyle or work day.
To easily make this practice a habit you can keep a simple log for at least two weeks and really focus on being disciplined and you'll be amazed at how easy it becomes.
Before I started intermittent fasting I never thought I never thought I could ever get through a morning without eating my 7 weetbix for breakfast. I would never even wait more than 30 minutes after I woke up, it was the first thing on my mind.
Cut to today…. And often I actually have to remind myself to eat something to break the fast at noon! This proves to me that the only reason you feel that you're hungry, is because you think you should be.
If the idea of fasting for 4-6 hours each morning seems a little too much for you, then perhaps the 5:2 strategy may better suit you.
The 5:2 strategy consists of eating normally for 5 days of the week, while the remaining 2 days are 24 hour fasting periods.
For example, you would have a dinner at 8pm on a Monday night and then not eat anything until 8pm on Tuesday night.
This is without doubt the number one concern with anyone considering trying daily fasting.
It was my first concern.
Little did I know, before I just tried it, that hunger is just a wave that your brain sends your way due to habit!
Soon after you try intermittent fasting, the mountain of hunger will be reduced to a molehill.
At last you can go grab whatever you see and stuff your face!
This is the worst possible thing you can do. Just because you've successfully completed your first 16 hour fast, does not mean you can just pig out on whatever you want.
The best possible way to break the fast is to ease into it with fruit such as an apple, banana or pear, for example, to really gain the nutritional benefits of these foods and allow your digestive system to "warm up" for the coming feeding period.
One of people biggest hurdles to jump when trying to improve upon their diet for fat burn, is the issue of overeating.
We have all been there, myself included, when seemingly nothing can stop the feeling of hunger and the flurry or your hands shovelling mouthfuls of food down your throat.
From my experience, this only tends to happen when my choices of food have been poor beforehand. It appears to me to be a downward spiral of food choice. One chocolate leads to another. All of a sudden you've downed a coke and eaten half a tub of ice cream. Then the feeling of "f*!% it" lets keep going.
The key to overcoming this is to fuel your body with satiating, nutritious, whole foods!
There is a reason your body keeps telling you that you're hungry when your consuming empty calorie after empty calorie… it's not getting what it needs and its screaming at you to fix it!
That is why you have the terrible, sluggish feeling of a "food baby" after you stuff your face. Your body is pushing sh*@ up hill trying to digest the glue of simple carbs and sugar that you just gave it.
Just think, has anyone ever over eaten on steak and avocado?

Weekly Roundup, 6th June 2022
by Mike Rawson · Published June 6, 2022 · Updated June 6, 2022
We begin today's Weekly Roundup with a look at the next recession.
The next recession
Soft landing
Scottish tax
The Economist looked at the likely shape of the next US recession.
They plumped for a mild downturn followed by a painfully prolonged recovery.
Larry Summers has observed [that] whenever inflation has risen above 4% and unemployment has dipped below 4% – economic overheating – America has suffered a recession within two years. It is well across both thresholds now.
No one thinks that inflation is transitory, and we all expect tighter monetary policy.
The question is how tight, and therefore how much the economy could suffer.
To work out the shape of the next recession, the Economist looked back to the 12 recessions since 1945.
There are problems in the parallels with the commonly cited recessions of the 1980s (Volcker), 1970s (oil crisis) and 2000 (dot com).
Inflation is nowhere near as entrenched as at the start of Mr Volcker's era. Growth is far less energy-intensive than in the 1970s. And the economy faces more complex crosswinds now than it did after the bust of 2000.
The Covid flash crash and liquidity driven recovery of 2020-21 make the past a poor guide.
There are three reasons the newspaper plumps for a mild recession:
Households and businesses' balance-sheets are mostly strong. Risks in the financial system appear to be manageable. The Fed, for its part, has been too slow to respond to inflation, but the credibility it has built up over the past few decades means it can still fight an effective rearguard action.
Household debt is low:
Household debt is about 75% of GDP, down from 100% on the eve of the global financial crisis of 2007-09. Annual debt payments now add up to about 9% of disposable income, about the lowest since data were first collected in 1980.
People also have excess savings from stimulus payments and reduced spending during Covid.
In contrast, corporate debt is close to a record high, at 75% of GDP, but this partly reflects efforts to lock in record low rates.
The lowest rated bonds are in the media and entertainment sector, which includes leisure, where there ought to be firm demand.
The paradoxical result is that a swathe of low-rated companies may be positioned to fare better than most during a downturn.
The pandemic has shifted the Beveridge Curve (the relationship between vacancies and the unemployment rate) outwards.
It now seems to require more vacancies to get to the same unemployment rates as in the past—an indication of faltering efficiency in the economy's ability to match the right people with the right jobs.
The Economist expects the curve to move back, and unemployment to rise to 5.5% (much less than the 11% under Volcker).
Interest rates may go higher than expected, however:
If the real neutral rate, which neither stimulates nor restrains growth, is 0.5%, then the Fed would probably want to hit a real rate of about 1.5% to rein in inflation. Add on short-term inflation expectations of 4% per year, and the Fed may need to lift its nominal rate to 5.5%.
Since the Fed forecast in March was just 3%, that's quite an overshoot.
Rates at 5.5% would have serious market impacts – I've been hoping that we might top out at 3.5% in the US.
See also: Weekly Roundup, 8th August 2017
The silver lining is this would then give the Fed room for cuts to stimulate slowing growth.
Even a mild recession must be followed by an upturn for the economy to return to full health. After two years of focusing on high inflation, low growth may move back to centre-stage as the economy's principal problem.
John Authers thought that the path to a soft landing was getting a little easier.
To bring down inflation without crashing the economy, we need to see data grow steadily less positive without plunging through the floor.
The ISM surveys (of supply managers) fit the bill here.
The employment market is hot, but employment levels are slightly lower than before the pandemic.
Wages are still rising, but more slowly than inflation, and the rate of increase is not accelerating.
So we might avoid a wage-price spiral.
Mark Haefele of UBS Global Wealth Management said:
[This picture] is still consistent with our view that inflation will decelerate but remain above central bank targets, economic growth should slow below trend growth but remain above zero, and markets will end the year higher.
John is not entirely convinced (and neither am I):
if inflation is not decelerating enough by the end of the year, there would still be the possibility of further Fed hikes beyond what have been priced in. All of this is consistent with many more months of difficult trading, in which value stocks and defensive sectors make most sense.
John also looked at a presentation from Alan Blinder, a former Fed vice chairman, called Landings Hard and Soft.
A positive take on this is that a Fed tightening cycle hasn't ended with a serious recession since the Age of Paul Volcker. The negative way to look at it is that all the cycles that ended without a hard landing happened with inflation significantly lower than it is today.
Blinder's conclusion is much more positive:
Seven of the eleven episodes were arguably "pretty soft" landings: 1965-66, 1967- 69, 1983-84, 1988-89, 1994-95, 1999- 2000, and 2004-06. In three other cases, there was never any intention to make it "soft": 1972-74, 1977- 80, 1980-81.
In 2004-06 and 2015-19, it certainly wasn't tight money that caused the deep recessions that followed. So soft landings can't be all that hard to achieve.
We'll see soon enough.
In his regular FT column, John Lee said that as he nears his 80th birthday, he is making some changes to the way he runs his portfolio.
The two main happenings in my stock market life over the past quarter have been the takeover of Air Partner and the derating of flavours and fragrances producer Treatt.
John expects Treatt to recover, and is holding on.
Real money is made by staying with a growing business for the long term, even if it has a "plateau" year from time to time. The lesson is: don't be a short-term schmuck!
AP makes it more than fifty takeovers during the life of the portfolio.
Usually, John would reinvest these proceeds into similar companies, often topping up existing holdings.
But I now increasingly focus on income, withdrawing my Isa dividends rather than reinvesting them. So two-thirds of the AP proceeds went into what I term "The Three Sisters" — Aviva, Legal & General, and M&G — on an overall 7 per cent tax-free return.
The remaining one-third went primarily into the small-caps sector, topping-up existing holdings such as Anpario, Christie, Concurrent Technologies, Lords Group Trading, Tate & Lyle, Titon, Vianet, and of course Vitec (now Videndum).
John also sold MP Evans on palm oil price strength.
New holdings are Manolete (the insolvency litigator), Secure Trust (a bank) and STV (Scottish Television).
The Economist reported that carbon markets are going global, but wasn't sure that this would make a difference.
By the end of 2021 more than 21% of the world's emissions were covered by some form of carbon pricing, up from 15% in 2020. Trading on these markets grew by 164% last year, to €760bn ($897bn).
Carbon markets sell the right to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The idea is to disincentivise the use of fossil fuels and provide governments with funds that can be prevented in renewable energy or similar.
The issue is that the markets don't work, with only 3.8% of emissions priced at more than $40 a tonne.
According to the Carbon Price Leadership Coalition, this is the social breakeven price, though other economists put this price at $200 or more.
The typical mechanism is "cap and trade", where a limit is set on annual emissions, and permits to this level are auctioned.
Businesses can then trade the permits between themselves as required, and in some markets, investors can also trade.1
So a good market will have a low cap (which reduces each year) and will cover a wide range of emissions, allowing market forces to discover the cheapest way of reducing the impact of carbon.
Such a market requires political will – since high carbon prices increase consumer prices and lower corporate profits – and this will is largely lacking.
Inclusivity is an issue:
Industrial firms argue that including them in a robust ets gives an unfair advantage to exporters from countries with a lower carbon price, which is why the EU and others offer home-grown champions a certain amount of permits for free.
Transport and buildings, where higher costs would be passed on to voters directly, are excluded from the EU 's scheme. Britain has long failed to raise petrol taxes in line with inflation, costing the government billions.
The Times reported on news from the Institute for Fiscal Studies that imposing higher rates on income tax on residents has backfired on the Scottish Government.
Tax revenues are £200M lower than if they had stuck with the UK tax bands.
This is not a surprise to me, since interventions in markets often produce the opposite effect from the one intended.
I have just three for you this week, the first two from The Economist:
The Economist looked at the changing American consumer
And explained why oil prices are spiking again.
Alpha Architect looked at short-term momentum.

BREWSTER – After spending the fall into a cold winter without proper shelter, a 16-year-old Mare Pony and 10-year-old Gelded Donkey were recently surrendered from their former home in Bristol County and are now getting the care they need at the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Brewster Animal Care and Adoption Center.
The animals were discovered during a routine inspection at the 25-acre farm property in Bristol County.
Due to the extreme cold (12 degrees with a wind chill of minus 20) and an inability and lack of desire to provide adequate shelter and protection from the weather, the owner agreed to surrender the animals to ARL.
The surrender uncovered a number of concerns. The pony and donkey's diet was inconsistent, they had a lack of potable water, and additionally had badly overgrown hooves which needed immediate attention from a farrier; another sign of neglect.
In Brewster, the animals have their own barn space, and access to an outdoor paddock. They are also adjusting to having an improved, proper diet and despite their former situation, they are extremely friendly, happy and enjoying daily human contact.
The bonded pair are receiving veterinary care and are moving towards being made available for adoption. I invite the media to see these amazing animals first hand, and they serve as yet another reminder that ALL animals need and require adequate shelter, food and water, particularly during extreme weather conditions.


A mainstay of the Maltese music scene for almost four decades, William Mangion is widely regarded as one of the island's top entertainers, whether he's performing with a band or as a solo artist. His career has taken him all over the world, performing in numerous countries, among them Ireland, where he represented Malta in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest (placing 8th with the self-penned This Time - see Video Below), Germany, Italy and the UK, where William also lived for a number of years and during which time he fronted various bands, among them Sabora and Still Waters.
Although he fronted several seminal Maltese rock bands, William made his mark as the frontman with top local band Getting Closer, with whom he recorded the acclaimed Everchanging Moods album and had the opportunity to perform alongside international artists such as Joe Cocker, Jaki Graham, Go West, Imagination, Sinitta, Divine, Phil Fearon & Galaxy and David Grant amongst others. In recent years, William has fronted various line-ups as well as maintaining his solo career with regular performances in nightspots around the island and one of the most sought-after entertainers for private functions, parties and weddings.

The certification by the Bluetooth Special Interests Group is a requirement for mobile devices that use Bluetooth for communications to be sold in many markets. The appearance of an Apple-produced device in the regulatory filings is common, but while it indicates a product has undergone testing with the group, it doesn't offer when such a product will be released.
The filing discovered by MySmartPriceincludes the name "AirPods," with the listing first published by the Bluetooth SIG on November 1. The filing advises of a few things, such as there being model numbers A2031 and A2032 for the accessories, though it is unclear if this refers to two specific versions or relate to there being two units for each pair.
The listing also advises it received certification for Bluetooth 5.0.
Aside from the Bluetooth SIG filing, there is another regulatory change that occurred this week. New trademark filings in Hong Kong and Europe expand the use of the AirPods name to cover "General wellness instruments," which includes assorted health and fitness sensors, monitors, and biometric data transmissions.
Health tracking capabilities in new AirPods have been rumored for quite some time, and have surfaced in patents and applications. One set of filings discovered in March 2017 suggested the use of "Earbuds with biometric sensing," including a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor as used in the Apple Watch, galvanic skin response, EKG, impedance cardiography, VO2 sensor, and thermometer.
Other expected revisions for AirPods 2 include the use of newer W-series wireless chips for better communication, ambient noise handling, "Hey Siri" support baked into the hardware, and an upgraded wireless charging case.
I hope they can track health of some people's ears as AirPods may not suit some of them. Showving those "clips" into ealobes is not an option for some people.
Sweet. When can we expect the chinese knockoffs to copy & follow?
Sounds like a good idea for a revision, as not everyone will get an Apple Watch — and really most people should — but if a user has both then there's likely to be some extra coordination of data. It would be interesting to see if the new AirPods were able to do some further "health tricks" by dint of being in the ear canal and/or having different sensors than the Watch. It will also be interesting to see if they can do all that and keep the form factor.
Maybe — dare we hope — this could mean that we'll live long enough to see the fabled new AirPod cases and ... gasp! ... AirPower?
It would be interesting to see if the new AirPods were able to do some further "health tricks" by dint of being in the ear canal and/or having different sensors than the Watch. It will also be interesting to see if they can do all that and keep the form factor.
As I've mentioned at other times here in the forums, non-invasive blood sugar monitoring at the capillary level can be accomplished by sending RF signals through a very thin section of skin such as an earlobe or the web of skin between the thumb and forefinger. In order for this to work the process requires a transmitter on one side and a receiver on the other. That said, if they chose to do it on the earlobe, the form factor would need to change somewhat to provide the part in the back of the earlobe. Because it only works on a very thin section of skin it is therefore not feasible with the Apple Watch alone. Simply photo imaging the capillaries of a thicker part of the skin will not work.
The highest level of accuracy is achieved by actually drawing blood from a vein which is more precise than the pin prick method, but analyzing the corpuscles in a capillary using RF should provide adequate results.
I suppose it would be nice if Apple had variations that fit other ear shapes, but personally they fit me perfectly and I don't know anyone who can't wear them comfortably.
In 2009 Apple applied for a patent for ear buds that perform these sorts of functions. The question of course is what they were able achieve considering the variable fit and location. E.G. Heart rate is likely achievable, but blood oxygen level is challenging on places like the wrist, but maybe less so inside the ear.
Also, they are going to be Bluetooth 5 which will make them one of the first peripherals to support the new standard. That should give them either better range or better audio quality both of which would be nice to have.
I can't wear them at all. They fall out after just a few minutes, even sitting still. If I'm moving, the time spent in my ears can be measured in single digit seconds.
The health in the watch makes sense. Earbuds? Seems like a solution looking for a problem.


Media Trip to Fukuoka with two media partners of the RTM of the Issuer, Bro Azlan and cameramen Kusyairie is a new experience in Japan. Beginning the trip from the airport to Kansai Airport, then boarded the Shinkansen to Nishi, Fukuoka and then we arrived at our accommodation Hotel Regalo Fukuoka.
It has a height of 8 storeys and MrJocko chance of staying on the 6th floor facing the road. Room size is probably around 200 sqft only and it only has a single bed, a small LCD TV, Mini Bar, a small closet, desk and chair and bathroom were quite comfortable.
Free TV broadcasts and also there is a kettle for hot water. However no extra coffee or tea. Free wifi is also not available in the room. Best sense of loss, in the lobby of the hotel is also free Wi-Fi is not available. So is the concept of most hotels in Japan so take off about everything. Arguably, nothing is free in Japan unless TOILET only.
Regalo Fukuoka Hotel is still using the old key and not a concept like most modern cards. It seems likely Regalo Fukuoka building between the old hotel building here. How to order and the furniture in it was using old furniture and possibly fine-1980s.
However, it is quite comfortable staying at Hotel Regalo Fukuoka. He is not bad, maybe in terms of price it might seem a little expensive for charge around RM190 for the package 2 days 1 night at Hotel Regalo Fukuoka is considered expensive for such a small size. However, it must understand that this is Japan, the small size, but the cost of living is expensive. Luckily, breakfast is provided FREE.
During the 3 day 2 night stay at the Hotel Regalo Fukuoka, it can be categorized as medium class hotel and it was quite in accordance with the tourists who want to travel with a modest budget. Prices for a one night stay at the Hotel Regalo Fukuoka is arguably reasonable and it is also close to the kiosk, 7 Eleven and Shopping Mall.
For a better location, you may need to find locations that are closer to urban areas in Fukuoka so easy to walk around Fukuoka City Hall or at Zhongzhou Street.
Thanks for the Fukuoka City Hall and Osaka Tourism Malaysia for the opportunity to join the Media Trip to Fukuoka.

The fire pit still competes well with other types of nightly entertainment. The fire pit has outlasted the court jester, radio theatre, and will probably still be here after broadcast TV and Netflix are history. For thousands of years, people have enjoyed getting lost in those flames under the stars.
Happily, in Duluth we are allowed to have fire pits in our backyards. Now fire pits are legal, but not anything goes. You can't burn a 40 foot cardboard model of the Hindenburg, even on the anniversary. At Mission Creek, we do fire restoration, but we'd rather you don't need that service.
Since many people will be lighting fires now and through the fall, let's look at Duluth's regulations on fire pits. The first rule about fire pits is the fire has to be in a pit.
"You can have a campfire, recreational fire, in the city of Duluth without any kind of permit," said Duluth Fire Marshall Marnie Grondahl. But, it has to be a 3 foot by 3 foot fire and it has to be more than 25 feet from a structure."
Remember that "structure" also includes decks and fences. Unfortunately this "25 foot" rule means fires can't be done in many smaller yards in Duluth. Maybe make friends with your neighbor with the huge yard. Maybe you can build him a pit.
As far as how to build the pit Grondahl says that old stone fire pits work fine. You can use one of Duluth's great natural resources, rocks, or use landscaping blocks. You can also use fire rings or, as Grondahl suggests, elevated trays you can get from Menards that are made of metal. The idea is to just clear grass away and create a ring no more than 3 feet wide. Now that you have a fire pit, what can you burn?
"You can't burn garbage or treated lumber, just clean dry wood," Grondahl said.
You also can't burn leaves, newspapers, or even cardboard. All that smoke and flying cinders from those materials is sure to have your neighbor make a phone call and some folks with hats and boots will come to join your backyard fire.
Grondahl mentions that sometimes neighbors will call the fire department if there is excessive smoke. They might be annoyed even if you are following all the rules, especially if the wind is blowing smoke into their house. This is where it is good for you to know your neighbor.
"A nice thing to do is tell them you are going to have a fire," said Grondahl. "So, they might want to shut the windows on that side of the house. That would be the nice thing to do."
While we're here, I might as well mention one place fires are definitely not allowed—Park Point Beach. In fact, it is illegal to have on fires in any of Duluth's parks, which at least the major beaches are considered. An apparent exception to the park rule is the stone shelter with a fire pit on Brighton Beach.
There also used to be a fire pit in Enger Park. A couple of years back, I showed up and was shocked and sad to see they destroyed the fire pit in the pavilion at Enger Park to make the bathroom bigger. I had many fires there on a crisp fall day.
The good news is beach fires are still allowed on Duluth's twin sand spit—Wisconsin Point. I say that with fingers crossed, hoping someone won't read this and plug this recreational loophole. Banning fires on a beach almost seems like banning watching sunrises on a beach. Oh, wait. Actually, going by the times you are allowed to park at Park Point, sunrises are kind of illegal, during part of the year.
Thanks, for listening to that little rant. Now, here's a nice map showing where beach fires are allowed and where it is a no-no.
Beach Fires are ok in on Wisconsin Beach but not Park Point.
Image source: Openstreetmap.org with image by Dirk Beyer superimposed.
But, in my opinion the backyard fire rules are reasonable and promote safe fun. Backyard fires appear to have not caused that much trouble, in Duluth.
Grondahl says that they haven't had that many incidents of recreational fires getting out of control throughout the years. In fact, the last incident she can remember is a couple of years back when a fire spread to some grass, which was put out before it damaged any structures. Still, fires call for some caution.
"The fire has to be constantly attended and you have to have a way of putting it out, like a hose or bucket of sand," said Grondahl.
Grondahl says most of the calls they get for recreational fires are for: leaving the fire unattended, having a really big fire, and burning something that creates a lot of smoke fumes. One of the most common problems is when people burn old furniture.
If you follow these few rules, you can enjoy a fire in your backyard in Duluth. This is nice to know, since many cities don't allow recreational fires at all. It's especially nice to light a fire in the fall or if you live in the "colder by the lake" zone.
In Duluth, you can enjoy this ancient pastime, that still competes well with Angry Birds or even Pokémon Go.

We mourn the passing of Stanley Tash
Stanley Tash, who was the first President of Local 4001 (1997 to 2001), passed away on August 12, 2017 at the age of 78. Brother Tash is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Jean, son Michael and grandchildren Benjamin and Carley, and was predeceased by his eldest son, Jack. Stan was diagnosed unexpectedly with pancreatic cancer in June.
Stan was originally a native of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan but moved to Kamloops, B.C. in the early 60's. He retired from CN in 2003 after 35-years' service with the Company. After retirement, he became active in the CN Pensioners Association, in addition to many other clubs and associations in the Kamloops area.
Ron Shore, Regional Representative of Unifor National Council 4000 and servicing members of Local 4001, expressed his condolences to the Tash family. "Stan was not only a great Union leader, but a great man and friend. It was a pleasure to work with him. I will always have fond memories of Stan and will always think fondly of him."
Another person who worked with Brother Tash at the start of Local 4001 and National Council 4000 in 1997 was Barry Kennedy, former Regional Representative and President of Council 4000 and now National Representative with Unifor. "Stanley was a fine man! I was happy after Stan's retirement from CN in 2003 that I got to continue our friendship while working together on the CN Pension Committee. I enjoyed sharing a drink or having dinner after these meetings reminiscing on old times. I am going to miss him." Stan served as an alternate member of the Pensioner's Group on the CN Pension Committee.
Another Union representative that shared his condolences was Dan Michaluk, Local Chairperson for Local 4002's CN membership in Winnipeg. "I enjoyed the time I spent with Stan during our time as Executive members of Council 4000, Stan as President of CAW Local 4001 and me as President of Local 4002. Stan treated me like family and always offering my family a place to stay if we ever came out his way. Stan was full of wisdom and always offered solid advice along with a few laughs."
Current Local 4001 President David Judge expressed condolences on behalf of the Executive and membership of Unifor Local 4001.
To our Brother and our friend, rest now. And we thank you for your friendship and your many contributions to our Local, Council and membership over the years.

              [1, 9, 2, 3],
              [1, 0, -1, 2]]],

            [[[0, 7, 1, 2],
              [1, 2, 1, 0],
              [0, 2, 0, 7],
              [-1, 3, 0, 1],
              [1, 0, 1, 0]]]
              ])

A.shape
(3, 1, 5, 4)

In this example, A has 3-instances, each instance represented by 4-features (1 for each column of the inner arrays (shaped (1,5,4)). Features are represented in time-domain.
I needed a handy way to calculate the frequency-domain (Fourier transform )for each feature of each instance.
Details
Considering the given example, I do it the following way.

*

*Get the array for all features (1 for each feature like this:
feat1 = A[..., [0]] # the first feature
feat2 = A[..., [1]] # the second feature
feat3 = A[..., [2]] # 3rd feature etc...
feat4 = A[..., [3]] # 4th feature etc...

So that the first feature in the example data is:
feat1
array([[[[ 0],
     [ 3],
     [ 2],
     [ 1],
     [ 1]]],

   [[[ 9],
     [ 5],
     [ 0],
     [ 1],
     [ 1]]],

   [[[ 0],
     [ 1],
     [ 0],
     [-1],
     [ 1]]]])

*Retrieve each instance´s features set, like so:
# 1st instance
inst1_1 = feat1[0].ravel()  # instance1 1st feature
inst1_2 = feat2[0].ravel()  # instance1 2nd feature
inst1_3 = feat3[0].ravel()  # instance1 3rd feature
inst1_4 = feat4[0].ravel()  # instance1 4th feature

# 2nd instance
inst2_1 = feat1[1].ravel()  # instance2 1st feature
inst2_2 = feat2[1].ravel()  # instance2 2nd feature
inst2_3 = feat3[1].ravel()  # instance2 3rd feature
inst2_4 = feat4[1].ravel()  # instance2 4th feature

# 3rd instance
inst3_1 = feat1[2].ravel()  # instance3 1st feature
inst3_2 = feat2[2].ravel()  # instance3 2nd feature
inst3_3 = feat3[2].ravel()  # instance3 3rd feature
inst3_4 = feat4[2].ravel()  # instance3 4th feature

*Then calculate the Fourier transform (for each feature of each instance).
inst1_1_fft = fft(inst1_1)
inst1_2_fft = fft(inst1_2)
inst1_3_fft = fft(inst1_3)
inst1_4_fft = fft(inst1_4)

inst2_1_fft = fft(inst2_1)
inst2_2_fft = fft(inst2_2)
inst2_3_fft = fft(inst2_3)
inst2_4_fft = fft(inst2_4)

inst3_1_fft = fft(inst3_1)
inst3_2_fft = fft(inst3_2)
inst3_3_fft = fft(inst3_3)
inst3_4_fft = fft(inst3_4)

This is absolutely dummies approach. Besides, I cannot do this on my real dataset where I have over 60K instances.
Questions:

*

*How do I do this at once for the whole array A?

*The frequencies seem to be the same, for feature of each instance. Am I doing this correctly? He's how I do:
sampling_rate = A.shape[2] # each instance is fixed-sized A.shape[2] (5 in this e.g)
N = inst1_1_fft.size

inst1_1_fft_freq = fftfreq(N, d = 1 / sampling_rate)

inst1_1_fft_freq
array([ 0.,  1.,  2., -2., -1.])

A: In order to perform a fast Fourier transform along all your instances' features at once, you may do it along axis=2. As an alternative, you may first reshape A, by using np.reshape and np.swapaxes, prior to the fft computation, one possible solution is:
A.shape
>>> (3, 1, 5, 4)

N = 5 # number of time samples for the feature axis
inst_reshape = A.swapaxes(1,3).reshape((-1,N))
inst_reshape.shape
>>> (12, 5) # (number of instances x number of features, time sampling)

which follows the same instance / feature ordering as in your question. You may as well check this by comparing the resulting inst_reshape array with its manually assembled counterpart array:
inst_vstack = np.vstack((inst1_1,inst1_2,inst1_3,inst1_4,\
                         inst2_1,inst2_2,inst2_3,inst2_4,\
                         inst3_1,inst3_2,inst3_3,inst3_4))
np.allclose(inst_vstack,inst_reshape)
>>> True

Having done so, you may now call np.fft.fft once along the column axis axis=1 of the newly reshaped array:
sampling_rate = A.shape[2]
sample_spacing = 1/sampling_rate

freq = np.linspace(0.0, 1.0/(2.0*sample_spacing), N//2)
X = np.fft.fft(inst_reshape, axis=1)
amp = 2/N*np.abs(X[:N//2])

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(freq, amp)

I would definitely encourage you to take a look at the following question where the general idea behind these kind of array transformations is nicely explained.

Q: Finding Sequence of numbers in Text file Hello I'm having quite some trouble with this task that was given to me.
I need to find a Sequence of 8 consecutive numbers in a Text file and Put that Line into a MsgBox.
So far I've only found
For Each i As Char In fileLocation
            If IsNumeric(i) Then
                result += i
            End If
        Next`
MsgBox(result)

But that won't help me I guess
Edit:
an example Line woudl look like this:
 ! MK 90 GRAD ALU L  10793013  144  63.00                90       1     3745  !

In this case I would need the 10793013 as an output
Edit 2:
this is the code I currently managed to create
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileLocation)
    Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
        concounter = 0
        zeileInhalt = objReader.ReadLine()
        ListBox1.Items.Add(zeileInhalt)
        For Each zeichen As Char In zeileInhalt
            If IsNumeric(zeichen) Then
                concounter += 1
                vorhanden = True
                If vorhanden = False Then
                    ListBox1.Items.Add(zeileInhalt)
                End If
            ElseIf IsNumeric(zeichen) = False And concounter = 8 Then
                concounter = 0
            ElseIf IsNumeric(zeichen) = False And concounter < 8 Then
                concounter = 0
                ListBox1.Items.Remove(zeileInhalt)
            ElseIf concounter > 8 Then
                concounter = 0
                ListBox1.Items.Remove(zeileInhalt)
                vorhanden = False
            End If
        Next
    Loop
    'For i As Integer = 0 To fileLocation.Length <> -1
    objReader.Close()

The counter itself appears to work however for some reason no entries end up in my listbox.
am I missing a case where the entries are getting removed?
PS: I hope you don't mind the german variable names. If you do
zeileInhalt = content of the row
zeichen = character
vorhanden = existing

A: Here's another approach to try out:
Dim values() As String
Using objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileLocation)
    Do While Not objReader.EndOfStream
        values = objReader.ReadLine().Split(" ".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
        For Each value As String In values
            value = value.Trim()
            If value.Length = 8 AndAlso value.All(Function(c) Char.IsDigit(c)) Then
                ListBox1.Items.Add(value)
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
    Loop
End Using

A: try to introduce a counter to check the consecutivity in your if clause and reset it and result string to zero once it's not numeric!
Dim result As String = ""
Dim conCounter As Integer = 0
For Each i As Char In fileLocation
    If Char.IsDigit(i) Then
        conCounter = (conCounter + 1)
        result = (result + i)
    Else
        conCounter = 0
        If (result.Length < 8) Then
            result = ""
        End If

    End If

Next
MsgBox(result)

A: for each word in fileLocation
Dim noExp As New Regex("([0-9]{8,11})")
Dim m As Match = noExp.Match(word)
If Not m.Success Then Throw New Exception("No sequence number found")
Dim c = m.Groups(1).Captures(0)
Msgbox(c.value)
next

how about this ?


The Black Sheep Dances: We Have a Winner!
Congratulations to Lynda from http://lyndasbookblog.blogspot.com/ for winning the giveaway for Henning Mankell's The Man from Beijing. If she doesn't contact me within 48 hours I will regenerate the entries and post another winner.
So she's all set for the Scandinavian Reading Challenge with this mystery title. Never fear, though...I have another giveaway to announce.
Before I do, please keep in mind the following: I will keep all the names on the leftside column since all of you are particpants in the Challenge, I will just remove point totals for now. As you read titles in the Challenge, if you can jot me a quick email with the title I can create a database that shows all books read, and by whom (I will not expose anyone's email). That way, if more than one person reads the same book, which is bound to happen, they can exchange notes if they wish and discuss the book. You can opt out if you wish. If you finish your 6 titles early, keep in mind that prize time will still be later in the year, so I can gauge how many prizes will be needed. And, by the way, I was joking about the herring, really. The least you will win is a new book, I hope to do better than that though, depending on how many complete the challenge.
PLEASE offer titles, comments, questions and suggestions in the comment boxes. Maybe a term you are unfamiliar with, or a brand. For example, is IKEA the only place to buy furniture in Sweden? LOL Can I eat a sandwich without rye bread? Surely I'm not the only one who wonders such things!

Climate Bill Kickoff
Henry Waxman and Edward Markey unveil sweeping climate change legislation. The green crowd goes wild.

On the first day, Henry Waxman created a draft. And the enviros said it was good.
Rep. Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has promised to deliver comprehensive climate change legislation to President Obama within the year. On Tuesday, the California congressman, along with Rep. Edward Markey, released a "discussion draft" of what is currently being called the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. It's a piece of legislation that could dramatically reshape the country's energy economy.
The 648-page draft legislation, which addresses virtually every aspect of the fight against global warming, was quickly embraced by green groups.
The bill would require "retail electricity suppliers" (that is, utility companies) to get 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025. It seeks stronger fuel standards for cars, paves the way for the development of a smart electricity grid, and provides financial incentives to retailers who sell high volumes of energy-efficient appliances. It creates grants for universities and colleges to develop curricula that will train a generation of professionals ready to work in renewable energy and climate change mitigation. And it instructs the labor secretary to create training programs that help workers from dying industries transition into ones bolstered by the bill.
The legislation creates a National Climate Service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that will lead climate change research in the future, and directs every federal agency to review the impact of climate change on matters within their jurisdictions. The draft bill requires the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to create a national strategy for dealing with the public health effects of climate change, and creates an international program within the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide assistance to developing countries most vulnerable to the negative effects of global warming.
A central and controversial part of the bill is its cap-and-trade program. Under it, electric utilities, oil companies, and large industrial manufacturers, which produce roughly 85 percent of the nation's global warming emissions, will have to secure federal permits for their pollution. The pollution limits in those permits will be lowered every year until, in 2050, they are 83 percent below 2005 levels. The bill does not specify whether permits will be sold or given to corporations for free. It also does not say what the resulting revenue will be used for if the permits are in fact sold. (The Obama administration, for its part, had planned on selling the permits and using the revenues to fund renewable energy research, among other climate change imperatives.)
Initial reviews of the draft legislation by environmental groups have been positive. "The Waxman-Markey draft bill is a strong start and is a testament to their decades of leadership on clean energy and other environmental issues," said Carl Pope, the executive director of the Sierra Club, in a statement. "This bill combines the right mix of policies and the long-term vision necessary to build the green economy that will pull us out of the current economic crisis."
Lance Pierce, who directs the Union of Concerned Scientists' climate program, called the draft "a truly comprehensive outline." He added, "This broad approach is the best way to promote renewable energy sources, curb our oil dependence, and avoid the most expensive consequences of climate change." An analysis by Pierce's group indicates that a renewable electricity standard similar to the one in the bill would create 297,000 new domestic jobs and save consumers $64.3 billion in lower electricity and natural gas bills by 2025.
The Environmental Defense Fund, Environment America, and the League of Conservation Voters all put out statements saying they "applaud" the draft bill.
Even the polluters got on board. The United States Climate Action Partnership—a group that represents Ford, GM, Chrysler, Alcoa, BP, PG&E, Shell, and other industry giants—said in a statement that it "hails the discussion draft" as "a strong starting point." Two reasons why some of the nation's biggest polluters might be on board: a virtually unlimited amount of pollution offsets, which will essentially allow corporations to buy their way past the cap-and-trade system's pollution limits, and federal promotion of research into "clean coal."
An offset means that a corporation or other entity that produces emissions in excess of the federally mandated cap can purchase pollution credits from firms that came in under the limit. "Under the cap, there are 2 billion tons of offsets allowed," said Steven Biel, who heads Greenpeace's global warming campaign. "That is a big fat loophole waiting to be exploited. The total emissions reductions required under the cap 20 years from now are still less than 2 billion tons."
Biel suggested that Greenpeace will seek to modify the offset provision as the bill moves forward. He wants zero offsets. "The whole idea behind an offset is to say, 'In order protect trees in Brazil, we need to trade those trees for smokestacks in Ohio.' Our position, and I think the position of anyone who is not looking at this from the perspective of a coal company, is that we need to move forward as aggressively as possible to transition America to a clean energy economy and protect those forests at the same time."
The federal support for coal capture and sequestration—a technology of debatable plausibility that, if successful, would enable coal plants to operate with low emissions—will likely be popular in coal-producing areas (and with lawmakers that represent those locales). However, it has environmental groups wary. "This is a straight surcharge fee for every American on your electric bill to pay for this unproven, hypothetical technology that has never been shown to work," said Biel. "That money could be used for smarter renewable energy technologies."
Despite his reservations, Biel echoes the enthusiasm of the rest of his colleagues in the environmental community when speaking of the bill overall. "There are a lot of really strong elements here to build on. The draft bill is a good first step."

Q: Double spaced document with exceptions I have to set the line space among my thesis double. So I use the following commands at preamble
\setlength{\parindent}{1em}
\setlength{\parskip}{1em}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.8}

However, the line space at the following items should be untouched and regular:

*

*Captions

*Footnotes

*Bibliography entries of more than one line

What commands should I add?

A: setspace provides 4 commands intended for use in the preamble:

*

*\singlespacing

*\doublespacing

*\onehalfspacing

*\setstretch{<factor>}
Alternatively, the package options singlespacing, onehalfspacing or doublespacing may be used in place of the first three. singlespacing is default.
In addition, a further option nodisplayskipstretch may be set to prevent extra spacing around display environments. Alternatively, this spacing may be manually adjusted with \setdisplayskipstretch{<factor>}.
For use in the body of the document, the package provides 4 environments:

*

*\begin{singlespace}...\end{singlespace}

*\begin{singlespace*}...\end{singlespace*}

*\begin{onehalfspace}...\end{onehalfspace}

*\begin{doublespace}...\end{doublespace}

*\begin{spacing}{<factor>}...\end{spacing}
Although the preamble commands will work in the document body, they are not designed for use there and will result in sub-optimal spacing in many cases. This is because the environments do more than simply switch the stretch using the \...ing commands.
For example, here's the definition of singlespace:
\newenvironment{singlespace}{% from setspace.sty
  \vskip \baselineskip
  \setstretch {\setspace@singlespace}%
  \vskip -\baselineskip
}{%
  \par
}

In contrast, here's the definition of \singlespacing:
\newcommand{\singlespacing}{% from setspace.sty
  \setstretch {\setspace@singlespace}%  normally 1
  \vskip \baselineskip  % Correction for coming into singlespace
}

While \setstretch {\setspace@singlespace} is the same in both definitions, the adjustments differ in other ways because the environment makes adjustments specifically required in the case of line spacing changes within a document.
The difference between singlespace and singlespace* is in the specific adjustments made. Here's singlespace*:
\newenvironment{singlespace*}{% from setspace.sty
  \setstretch {\setspace@singlespace}%
  \vskip -\baselineskip
}{%
  \vskip -0.5\baselineskip
}

As can be seen, the vertical spacing changes differ between the two environments and between both environments and \singlespacing.
Similar differences exist for the other preamble command/corresponding environment pairs.
In general, therefore, it is best to use the environments intended for use within the body within the body. In some cases, the differences will not change the output because, for example, there's a page break at the start and end of the changed line-spacing anyway. But the differences will matter in other cases so it is best to use the environments as a routine within the document body unless there is some special reason to do otherwise.
\documentclass...
...
\usepackage{setspace}
\setstretch{1.8}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{singlespace}
<bibliography commands go here>
\end{singlespace}
...
\end{document}

A: Don't modify the low-level parameter \baselinestretch directly. Instead, insert the following instructions in the preamble:
\usepackage{setspace}
\setstretch{1.8}

Or, use a spacing environment with an argument of 1.8, in the body of the document:
\begin{spacing}{1.8}
 ...
\end{spacing}

Just let the spacing environment end before the start of the bibliography.
An MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} % filler text
\usepackage{setspace}
\begin{document}
\begin{spacing}{1.8}
\lipsum*[1]\footnote{\lipsum*[2]}  % automatic single-spacing in footnotes

\end{spacing}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}

\bibitem{z} xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

Christian development agency World Vision says that it is prioritising children in the aftermath of the earthquake in China.
More than 4.8 million people were made homeless after the earthquake destroyed homes and flattened schools, shattering the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in south-western Sichuan.
Children made homeless after natural disasters are particularly vulnerable, says the agency and their ability to survive requires access to basic supplies like shelter, food and water.
Without shelter, children are also at risk of physical harm and lack a safe place to deal with psychosocial issues that result from the distress and grief of losing loved ones. Children are also at risk of being split up from their family or care givers and it can take weeks to reunite them, further exacerbating a child's sense of distress.
World Vision is working to make sure families have shelter in safe environments where they can be together. 800 tents and 6,000 plastic tarps are being distributed to more than 27,000 survivors. Distribution of these materials has already started.
"When an earthquake strikes everything becomes chaotic," said Humanitarian Emergency Assistance Director Victor Kan. "In Sichuan people were terrified when violent shaking caused buildings to fall and roads to split wide open," he continued.
The earthquake struck in the middle of the day, affecting a disproportionately large number of children. Schools across the province crumbled under the thrust of the tremors while children were still in their classrooms.
"Children feel a high sense of anxiety when they are separated from their family," said Mr. Kan. "Townships were completely flattened, debris and rubble stretched out for miles. Landslides blocked the roads and cracks in the earth made it difficult for families to travel to reunite with each other," he continued.
"The well-being of children must be attended to," Mr. Kan went on. "The first step is to provide shelter, food and safe drinking water. The next course of action is to offer children a safe place to play, a place where they can communicate their feelings and deal with the stress of the traumatic events they've just experienced."
World Vision plans to set up three Child Friendly Spaces for children living in temporary shelter sites. The centres will run activities and games and offer children a chance to foster social connections, while normalizing their daily routine.
World Vision is also distributing basic emergency supplies including 464,000 kg of rice. In addition, some 30,000 quilts will be distributed to survivors struggling to cope with cold mountain temperatures that accompany evenings in Sichuan.
