Chango Farías Gómez, nombre artístico de Juan Enrique Farías Gómez (Buenos Aires, 19 de diciembre de 1937 - ibídem, 24 de agosto de 2011), fue un músico, compositor y cantante de música folklórica de Argentina y político perteneciente al peronismo. Integró Los Huanca Hua y formó el Grupo Vocal Argentino, Músicos Populares Argentinos (MPA) y La Manija. En 2003 lanzó su primer álbum solista. Se ha caracterizado por su espíritu vanguardista e innovador en la manera de interpretar la música de raíz folklórica y especialmente por ser uno de los músicos que introdujo la polifonía en el folklore argentino y latinoamericano. En la actividad política fue director nacional de música (1989-1992) y legislador de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (2003-2007). Falleció el 24 de agosto de 2011 como consecuencia de un paro cardíaco. La del Chango es una película documental sobre su figura, dirigida por el cineasta argentino Milton Rodríguez.

Carrera artística

Juan Farías Gómez, conocido desde niño como el Chango, nació en el barrio de San Telmo de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y pasó su infancia y adolescencia en San Isidro (en el norte del Gran Buenos Aires) en el seno de una familia de músicos y artistas. Su primer grupo se llamó Los Musiqueros, que integró a los 16 años junto con Mario Arnedo Gallo y Hamlet Lima Quintana.

En 1960 formó el grupo Los Huanca Hua junto con su hermano Pedro Farías Gómez, Hernán Figueroa Reyes, Carlos del Franco Terrero y Guillermo Urien. Luego también se sumaría al mismo su hermana Marián Farías Gómez, reemplazando a Figueroa Reyes. El grupo revolucionó el modo de interpretar la música folklórica, mediante complejos arreglos vocales, introduciendo la polifonía y el uso de fonemas y onomatopeyas para marcar el ritmo.

En 1964 realizó los arreglos de percusión para la Misa Criolla de Ariel Ramírez y fue intérprete de la percusión en la primera grabación de la misma, ese mismo año, junto a Los Fronterizos. Luego realizó una reducción para cinco voces de la Misa Criolla que fue grabada por Los Huanca-Hua primero y el Grupo Vocal Argentino, después.

En 1966 dejó el grupo, que continuó dirigido por su hermano Pedro, y formó el Grupo Vocal Argentino, considerado por algunos críticos como el mejor grupo vocal de la historia musical argentina.

En 1975 formó un trío con Kelo Palacios y Dino Saluzzi. En 1976, se exilió en España debido a la instalación de la dictadura cívico-militar en Argentina. Políticamente, Farías Gómez adhirió a las ideas peronistas:

En 1982 retornó a la Argentina y en 1985 formó Músicos Populares Argentinos (MPA), junto a Peteco Carabajal, Rubén Mono Izaurralde, Jacinto Piedra y Verónica Condomí, utilizando instrumentos inusuales en el folclore, como la batería o el bajo eléctrico.

En 1986 compuso la banda musical de la película Sostenido en la menor de Pedro Stoki, en la que también actúa y en 1988 compuso la música de la obra teatral Orestes, el súper, de Alfredo Megna.

En 1989, fue designado por el presidente Carlos Menem como Director Nacional de Música, cargo en el que se desempeñó hasta 1991. En esa función creó el Ballet Folklórico Nacional.

En la década de 1990 formó el grupo La Manija, orientado a profundizar en las raíces africanas e hispanas de la música argentina. En la década de 1990 compuso bandas musicales para películas y obras de teatro, como Lope de Aguirre traidor, de Sanchis Sinisterra, La oscuridad de la razón, de Ricardo Monti, Con el alma, de Gerardo Vallejo, Lisandro de David Viñas, El circo en la arena, Don Fausto y la comedia musical infantil El collar de Perlita.

En 2005 recibió el Premio Konex diploma al Mérito como uno de los 5 mejores solistas masculinos de folklore de la década en Argentina.

En 2009 convocó a una selección de grandes músicos a participar en el ciclo Los amigos del Chango. Ahí surgió su último proyecto, que sigue tocando actualmente, la orquesta popular de cámara Los Amigos del Chango.

En 2015 volvió a obtener otro Premio Konex de forma póstuma, esta vez en la disciplina Arreglador.

Fallecimiento
El Chango Farías Gómez falleció en la ciudad de Buenos Aires el 24 de agosto de 2011, a los 73 años, luego de sufrir un paro cardíaco.

La del Chango
En 2016 se estrena en Argentina el documental y ópera prima de Milton Rodríguez La del Chango, el cual a través de entrevistas a destacados músicos, familiares y periodistas, reconstruye la figura y personalidad de uno de los más importantes renovadores de la música popular argentina. Este filme se estrena como un homenaje en el quinto aniversario de su fallecimiento.
Familiares, periodistas y artistas destacados como Jaime Torres, Oscar Alem, Peteco Carabajal, Verónica Condomí, Antonio Tarragó Ros, Rubén "Mono" Izaurralde, Marián Farías Gómez, Manolo Juárez, los hermanos Koky y Pajarín Saavedra, entre muchos otros, evocan su etapa junto al Chango y repasan las formas que incorporó a la música nativa: la polifonía, los arreglos solo para voces, los sintetizadores, las guitarras de nylon y eléctricas, las baterías y múltiples bombos, las reminiscencias africanas y españolas, la complejidad rítmica, armonizaciones libres, la improvisación y la orquestación.
En principio Chango quería filmar con Rodríguez y Victoria Pereda una película de varias horas sobre la historia de toda la música argentina. Al fallecer el músico, ellos toman la posta y realizan este film que trata sobre los últimos 50 años, los años donde el protagonista fue justamente Chango.

Críticas

"Hay una decisión de generar una presencia ausente, un acto espiritista a la luz del día. Los desafío a encontrar documentales biográficos que se atrevan a tanto. (...) La del Chango es algo más que una gran y original película sobre un músico notable, también es una despedida amorosa de alguien a quien se quiso: pero no negando su muerte, sino a partir de la idea que indica que cuando alguien deja de existir, todavía vive de la única forma: entre sus amigos y familia, como un susurro, anécdota, voz. Y se va". Federico Karstulovich, El Amante.

"Un homenaje sincero y llevadero con una estructura clásica del relato, pero que en la negación del cuerpo del protagonista, en esto de no mostrarlo, se logra construir aún con más fuerza la imagen del objeto de estudio de la película que nunca se ve". Rolando Gallego, Escribiendo Cine.

"El documental de Milton Rodríguez (...) permite dimensionar la obra y la impronta del folclorista a partir de su música y de los aportes de quienes compartieron sus geniales aventuras creativas". Telam.

"Una ópera prima realizada con un bajo presupuesto sobre un artista de enorme importancia (...) Más allá de disfrutar de las historias y de la música, me encontré un rato después pensando todas estas cuestiones acerca de la definición de una persona y encuentro en La del Chango algo con lo que siempre acordé que es la propia obra la que nos da nuestro lugar en el mundo y bien expresado está en la película". Manuel Bláuab, Alta peli.

Statue of William I, Prince of Orange, in front of the main Protestant church of Wiesbaden, Germany. The statue by sculptor Walter Schott was erected on May 15, 1908.
A $500m Question: What's William the Conqueror's Cousin Got to do with FoodTech?
If you've ever walked the streets of Central London, you've probably walked those belonging to the Grosvenor family, particularly if you headed to London's most upmarket neighborhoods. Many of the streets and squares of Mayfair and Belgravia are named after the family, and you may have even stayed at the Grosvenor Hotel — hopefully at someone else's expense!
A household name in the UK, the Grosvenor family can trace its ancestry back to William the Conqueror's cousin and today Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, is godfather to Prince George. No big deal then.
But what's the link to foodtech?
Wheatsheaf Group. Don't know them? If you're reading AFN, maybe you should. They were one of the first investment groups to focus on agtech, and they have a cool $500 million to play with.
Where did Wheatsheaf come from?
In 2012, the Grosvenor Estate was looking for ways to diversify what's largely a property business with land and real estate holdings across the globe and ensure its legacy for the next 1,000 years. It soon landed on food and agriculture.
"They were looking at how we could build exposure to another significant industry beyond property, and food and agriculture was a sector that had not yet been disrupted but faced many macro challenges," Graham Ramsbottom tells AFN. "The opportunity for technology to impact the sector is vast."
Ramsbottom was approached by the Grosvenor Estate to build an agrifood investment team. He had identified agri-foodtech as an opportunity after managing rural properties, founding a farm consultancy and working for some of the UK's biggest farmers and cooperatives, and then moving into sustainable development.
Launching in 2012, well ahead of many of the most active agri-foodtech investors now, Wheatsheaf has since flown largely under the radar, despite making 20 investments including some big names in agri-foodtech such as AeroFarms in the US and Farmdrop in the UK. According to the website, the firm's "operational, investment and development activities are implemented by over 2,500 people working across 34 countries."
Other investments include LSE-listed microcap Benchmark Holdings, an animal health business, Californian shelf-life enhancement tech BlueWrap, Canadian insect farming group Enterra Feed, Australian livestock monitoring tech AgriWebb, and eco-friendly fertilizer business Ostara.
While not identifying as an impact investor, Wheatsheaf looks for companies that aim to make a positive impact on a few core global issues, and aims to become the investor and partner that can help them drive commercial success.
"It's not an either/or; I've realized over my career that it's possible to make commercial returns and deliver positive impact at the same time," says Ramsbottom.
Significant leadership expansion
Last week, Wheatsheaf bolstered its 20-strong investment team with two major hires: Stephan Dolezalek, a San Francisco-based private equity investor who has developed five "unicorns" including Tesla, and Katrin Burt, former managing director at Syngenta Ventures.
The appointments signify Wheatsheaf's increasing focus on North America and intentions to bolster its senior management.
We caught up with Ramsbottom and Dolezalek to find out more about the firm's focus.
What global themes do you focus on?
Graham Ramsbottom: Our overall focus is to improve efficiency in the production of healthy and nutritious food. We aim to do so by helping agricultural business be more efficient and adaptable; reduce reliance on antibiotics, harsh chemicals, fossil fuels and unsustainable resource use; and reduce waste, using raw materials efficiently.
What stage do you invest at and where?
GR: Because we're not a fund, we can set our own rules on that; we can invest very early stage and have even set up some companies. But we also have many later-stage investments such as the UK's leading dairy farm Grosvenor Farms Limited, and world-leading aquaculture technology in Norway, AKVA. Our sweet spot is something in the middle with proven technology that's in the commercialization phase.
Our senior appointments are building our footprint in the US. We tend to focus on Europe and North America, and are also active in Australia. While we have lots of our companies operating in Asia, we haven't invested there directly yet.
What's changed since Wheatsheaf launched?
GR: The conversation has moved on from the challenge of having enough food for the growing global population, to how to feed them healthy, nutritious food.
The Grosvenor Estate has been a steward of land for a long time, but the role of the land could be changing; there are uses of land beyond food that are interesting and technology will allow us to have sufficient food but also think about how to use land for other purposes such as sustainable uses to combat climate change. The opportunities become greater as our understanding of the role of land increases. We see some real opportunities in regenerative agriculture, for example.
One of your investments that could help free up some of that land for other uses is AeroFarms, which has been around for some time but been quite slow to expand. How do you compare them with other vertical farming players?
Stephan Dolezalek: One thing that really separates AeroFarms from the competition is how many data points that company has collected. The vertical farm is collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data about how its plants are growing while at the same time it's constructing and operating manufacturing facilities.
This other side looks more like what I did with Tesla as they've in effect built a large-scale, highly automated manufacturing facility with a very controlled environment. But there's a key difference in that Tesla's first plant was for cars and solar panels, dealing with static technologies where it's all about scaling and automation to take pennies out of costs here and there. But AeroFarms is dealing with a biological substance that behaves differently as it scales. As in biotech, that can be easy to do at lab-scale or in a pilot, but it can behave quite differently in large scale, continuous production.
What are some of the challenges you face as an agri-foodtech investor?
GR: Finding co-investors that are aligned with our time horizon, values and passion. We want to have an impact and build great businesses; we don't want a quick 'in-and-out' type investment.
But we are seeing more long-term investors coming into the space, and as a family business ourselves, we have networks with other families that have capital looking for a home and that share our desire to have commercial success with impact.
How does agtech differ to other sectors you've invested in Stephan?
SD: I've looked at technology invading and disrupting industry after industry — from IT and biotech to semiconductors and energy and transport — but I had no background in agriculture. So my role is more focused on pattern recognition; seeing the pace and ways in which technology disruption occurs and doesn't occur, how we can take advantage of that, and where to be cautious.
We have a lot of different disciplines and expertise in our investment team, for instance in plant and animal science, and so we have to combine those skills and work together at different points of time with our portfolio companies to guide them forward.
Within Wheatsheaf, we have a bench of very senior people from deep in agribusiness that we parachute in to work as board members or advisors as companies go through different phases of growth that require different skills. Part of what we've done there looks more like private equity than venture capital.
Your portfolio has been typically heavier on the farm tech side than consumer plays. What's your thesis around your investment in farm-to-consumer eGrocer Farmdrop?
GS: We're very interested in the end of the supply chain and the interaction with customers. Farmdrop is a great business that gives us exposure to understanding where the opportunity comes from and how customers talk to the producer. Farmdrop facilitates that already as consumers ask more and more questions around the provenance of food; people are asking questions they haven't been able to ask before.
SD: It's also interesting because Farmdrop works with lots of small farms. Wheatsheaf is taking a global view of the industry so this becomes important when you look outside the US and Europe at a massive number of smaller farms. Attempting to solve and manage ag on a global basis ultimately means how can you move produce from small farms to market in an effective way, but also get consumer information about what they want to eat back to small farms to make them more survivable and economically robust.?Farmdrop is a small but growing piece of that and it's connecting the dots in Wheatsheaf.

Venice was a place I have had my sights on for a while. As I sat on the boat taking me from the car park to the main part of Venice, we passed 4 HUGE cruise ships. My heart sank, I dislike being barged out of the way by crowds that act like they can't even see you and knowing that the city has 1000s of tiny alley ways, I thought it was going to be a disaster waiting to happen! I make it no secret that I don't like city crowds…BUT I'm obsessed with water. So no matter what the Venice Gondola price was going to be, I HAD to do it!

The term "elder law" was first coined in the late 90's to describe any kind of law referring to senior citizens and their legal problems. This may include healthcare, proficiency, age discrimination, estate preparation, Social Security survivors' advantages and numerous other subjects that directly affect anybody who is beyond retirement age. If you are over 65 and have questions about any of these issues, be sure you talk to an attorney experienced in elder law.
This is a part of elder law that senior individuals can benefit; it is the federal government health program that is targeted at helping households with low incomes and resources. Advantages for individuals with disability and other nursing home care concerns - it is extremely important considering that senior individuals are more susceptible to illness and other health issues that might cost some major amount of assets.
A legal guardianship has to do with the tasks of an individual designated by a court to manage mentally incompetent senior citizens and this could cover their welfare and security. The guardian can pick spending the senior's assets, where the elder will live, and health care.
Estate planning using, living trusts, powers of attorney for financial and health-care choices, and wills are the main documents that constitute an individual's estate strategy. These written directions assist the senior client both during their life time and afterwards.

A power of attorney is utilized to entrust legal authority to another individual. The principal (the individual giving the power of attorney) provides the representative, additionally referred to as the attorney-in-fact, the authority to earn legal decisions on his/her behalf, including handling bank accounts, property, as well as various other properties.
Other methods which a power of attorney can be over used include transforming beneficiary designations on life insurance or annuities, and also opening up savings account with joint title or pay on death arrangements in favor of the agent.

If a validly provided power of attorney has actually been abused by the representative, premises may exist to take legal action against the agent for the return of embezzled home or for monetary damages. If the principal is still living at the time of the action, the principal can sue the agent. In several situations, the power of attorney abuse is part of a broader pattern of senior abuse. If the principal has actually died by the time the power of attorney abuse has been discovered, the principal's estate or the designated beneficiaries of the building might have the ability to take legal action against the agent for violation of fiduciary obligation, tortious disturbance with estate planning, or a variety of other root causes of activity.
Because of the potential for abuse with a power of attorney, their usage should be restricted. Many persons developing a power of attorney will leave the instrument with the drafting to an elder law attorney.
A revocable trust is a beneficial component of the offered options to a conservatorship. The elderly's properties that are held by the revocable trust can be managed by a successor trustee - a reletive appointed by the elder to wisely deal with property if the elder ends up being mentally incapacitated.

Powers of attorney for financial management in addition to health-care decisions, together with a revocable trust, might frequently function as valid alternatives to the establishment of a conservatorship of the estate.

Nursing home abuse or mistreatment of an assisted living home patient normally results from insufficient staffing where there are a lot of patients and insufficient nursing assistants. Sometimes, this is a conscious policy on the part of the assisted living home who puts business revenue ahead of client care. Thankfully, there are many legal remedies readily available to stop these wrongful acts and to compensate the senior victim for injuries suffered.
When a senior citizen is no longer able to make sound financial and health-care see it here choices and no other options are offered, then a demand can be presented to the court to establish a conservatorship and appoint someone to have the legal authority to make such choices.

Irwin Completes M&E on Extended Arnold House in Tech-City, London
Irwin M&E recently completed the Mechanical and Electrical works for the redevelopment of Arnold House in the fast-growing 'Tech-City' area of London, working for client Gilbert-Ash. The former industrial building was extended upwards by adding 3 floors to the existing 4-storey building, to deliver 75,000 sq.ft. of new stand-out office and retail space.
Arnold House is located on the corner of Great Eastern Street and Holywell Lane in South Shoreditch, a hub for technology and media businesses. The project continues Irwin M&E's strong track record in successful delivery of technologically advanced buildings, having also delivered the new Innovation Centre for 5G Technology at the University of Surrey – the first facility of its kind worldwide; and the STEM Building at the University of Surrey.
"Arnold House was a really interesting project to work on" said Matthew Bowden, Irwin M&E Contracts Manager. "Delivered under a Design and Build contract, we used 3D Autocad to design the duct work which was prefabricated off site. This allowed us to implement just-in-time delivery to site, which was important as it is located on a very busy street with restricted access. This in turn meant a quicker turnaround and installation, with no bottlenecks on supplies. It was also preferable from a Health, Safety and Quality perspective as the duct work was prefabricated in a controlled factory environment and meant that a Hot Works permit was not required on site".
Recycled lighting
"The project architect BuckleyGrayYeoman, incorporated traditional-style industrial lighting fixtures which acknowledged the building's industrial past. We procured these high-bay lights from a recycling yard and installed them as impressive feature lighting in the building's reception".
Training & apprenticeships
Irwin M&E has a strong focus on training, both for employees and for apprentices. Working with Shoreditch Council, they employed 2 apprentices on site, one Mechanical the other Electrical, for the duration of the project.
Matthew commented "As a company we are committed to employing apprentices so that they can learn effectively on site, giving context to their accompanying studies, so we were particularly proud that one apprentice achieved his Level 2 NVQ in Plumbing and Heating while working on the project".
Building occupiers & facilities management
With the future building occupiers in mind, the Irwin team brought several innovations to the project design to simplify the running of the building for the Facilities Manager. These included centralising the air conditioning, giving the Facilities Manager overall control and changing the configuration of the service risers so that services would be easier to access. This avoided access hatches in the finished ceiling, making it more aesthetically pleasing. A winch was also installed for the stair-core feature light for ease of maintenance.
Arnold House incorporated several sustainable technologies and attained a BREEAM Very Good certification. It also attained a WiredScore Gold Certification.

Q: Generate only one MSI @ a time from one solution, where as the solution has many project. I need to build for Microservice project, where the project has only one solution and it generated three MSI for three project of microservice(eg:address,delivery,messaging) are three microservices, when the solution is build in tfs.
i want out of these all the microservice i need to generate MSI only for Delivery, not other MSI should generate and no other project should build with this one solution.
How can i do it with TFS build definition and TFS build template.

A: You can select the project file that you want to build in Build Definition, not solution file.

A: The msi package is generated by the WiX project. According to your description, you should have three WiX projects in your project to create MSI packages for each project. You can create a new build configuration from "Configuration Manager" with the service project and WiX project you want to build checked only and then save and check in the changes. Now when you queue a build from TFS with the new created build configuration, only the MSI package you want will be created.

Q: API Google Maps Javascript calling event listener inside context menu I'm using the Google Maps API V3, and a context menu that I created. I want to get the coords of the position of the mouse on the map whenever I click the menu inside the context menu. Except I have no idea on how to do that.
This is what I tried to do:
contextmenuDir.innerHTML = "
Direccoes a partir daqui<\/div><\/a>";

Anybody know how I can do this?
EDIT.: Okay, I managed to advance a bit further, and now I can enter the event listener whenever I press the menu of the context menu.
var m1 = document.getElementById("menu1");
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(m1, "click", function(event) {
      var lat = event.latLng.lat();
      var lng = event.latLng.lng();
      changeBeginCoords(lat,lng);
      // populate yor box/field with lat, lng
    });

Now a way to figure out this error:
Cannot read property 'lat' of undefined

A: Well, after some digging, I found the method addDomListener.
Here is how my code ended up being:
var m1 = document.getElementById("menu1");
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(m1, "click", function(event) {
      var lat = lati;
      var lng = lngi;
      changeBeginCoords(lat,lng);
      hideContextMenu();
      // populate yor box/field with lat, lng
    });

lati and lngi are the new coordinates. I retrieve them when I rightclick on the map to see the context menu.

What We Do In The Shadows S3
2nd Dec 2021 | Source: Showmax
Based on the 2014 cult movie from the batty brains of nine-time Emmy nominee Jemaine Clement (Flight Of The Conchords) and Oscar winner Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok), the fiendishly funny vampire mock-doc What We Do in the Shadows is back, with a threat of retribution and a whole new job description for Staten Island's oldest and most inept housemates!
Season 3 has a 100% critics' rating and is #10 on Rotten Tomatoes' Best TV of 2021 So Far, where the critics' consensus says, "Carried on the wings of its cast's incredible chemistry and the strongest writing of the series so far, What We Do in the Shadows' third season is scary good."
Already nominated for 10 Emmy Awards, WWDITS added to its accolades earlier this year with awards for Best Series at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards and Best Actress in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Series (for Natasia Demetriou as Nadja) at the Critics' Choice Super Awards. At the 2021 Critics' Choice Awards, BAFTA winner Matt Berry (The IT Crowd, Toast of London) – who plays Laszlo – was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, while Mark Proksch (The Office, Better Call Saul) and Harvey Guillén (The Magicians) were both up for Best Supporting Actor as energy vampire Colin Robinson and the not-so-harmless Guillermo respectively.
What We Do in the Shadows has also already been renewed for Season 4. The New York Times calls the series "genuinely ha-ha funny," adding, "If you are feeling a bit frayed right now and want something brilliant and silly, a true pleasure, watch this."

David F. Sandberg | 2019
I have no personal recollection of Shazam! being an actual comic book; I only remember it as a lame Saturday morning live action series in the 1970s. So when I first saw the billboards for this Shazam!, I figured it was another TV show like Arrow or Gotham. After all, who would pay to see this campy character in a movie theater? But lo and behold, DC/Warner Bros. saw big-screen potential in this property, and for once their intuition was right.
Interpreting the story as an inventive teen comedy, Shazam! feels both old-fashioned and fresh, a cross between Big (in that 14-year-old Billy Batson is magically transformed into a decidedly adult superhero) and the 1979 Superman. It is at turns hilarious and heartfelt, innately aware of its silliness, but owning it.
Playing the "grownup" version of Billy, Zachary Levi leads a terrific cast of no-names, and his portrayal of a teenage boy exploiting his newfound powers is delightfully convincing. (Oddly, Disney TV star Asher Angel, who plays the 14-year-old Billy, lacks Levi's rakish humor, and "human" Billy's morose quest to find his birth mother is the only thing that drags the film down.) Other standouts in the cast include the talented Jack Dylan Grazer as Billy's foster brother/sidekick Freddy and the adorable Faithe Herman as their foster sister. (The film is in fact a lovely tribute to foster families.)
Mark Strong plays a fairly standard villain, but I actually like that his storyline is stripped down to a basic "Bad guy wants to kill Billy." And I loved the film's running joke about Billy having no official superhero moniker, because in the comics and TV show he was called, in fact, Captain Marvel. And DC obviously can't run with that in 2019. So Freddy comes up with a series of ridiculous suggestions – "Captain Sparklefingers", "Sir Zaps-A-Lot" – and we get the feeling that poor Billy will never get a proper supername.
The film features some surprisingly gruesome deaths, and monsters modeled on the seven deadly sins, including lust(!), which some parents may find an ill fit with the juvenile proceedings. But as we live in a post Harry Potter world, young teens should be used to these dark turns by now.
Shazam! is a perfect popcorn flick, a fun entry in what may be a new wave of superhero pictures (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is another) that are goosing the genre just as it threatens to turn stale.

May 9, 2022 | Campgrounds, Glamping, Interviews
What It's Like to Be the Chief Marketing Officer at Texas' Camp Fimfo: A Conversation with Tessa McCrackin
By Alexandra Charitan
Camp Fimfo, a new campground from Northgate Resorts billed as "a Texas-sized retreat," is located on the Guadalupe River an hour northeast of San Antonio in picturesque Texas Hill Country. Or at least I've been told of the beauty to be found in the region's rolling hills and wildflower fields. It's pitch black as I approach Camp Fimfo after sunset; the only things I catch in my headlights are the reflective pupils of dozens of stunned deer along the winding backroads.
It's only after I pick up my late check-in swag bag from the campground's front office, and settle into one of the Bluebonnet Cabins for the night, that I begin to relax and take in my surroundings. By this point in my cross-country road trip, I've driven more than 4,000 miles, but the plaid everything, felt pennants, golf carts, and other vintage-inspired details scattered around Camp Fimfo make me feel as if I've ended up back on the East Coast.
The campground offers hundreds of RV sites in addition to several different glamping-type cabin options, many of which are already occupied on a weeknight in early April. I'm far from alone, but the sheer size of the 400-plus-acre property and blanket of bright stars in the dark sky above reminds me that I am, in fact, still in the middle of the Lone Star State.

Camp Fimfo, which opened in the summer of 2021, is the first of several planned locations for the new Northgate brand. The company also owns dozens of Yogi Bear's Jellystone parks and other campgrounds around the U.S.; a new Camp Fimfo location is set to open this summer in Waco, Texas.
Tessa McCrackin, the chief marketing officer at Northgate Resorts, says it's been fun trying to distinguish Camp Fimfo from other campgrounds through branding, accommodations, and amenities (yes, the name is an acronym, and no, I'm not telling you what it stands for—visitors are encouraged to guess). "Jellystone is good for families with kids up to a certain age," McCrackin says. "And glamping can be super serious. We saw a hole for people in the middle, who want a place that's really approachable and fun, while still having a campground vibe and upscale amenities."
We recently spoke with McCrackin about what inspired Camp Fimfo's playful aesthetic, why she thinks everyone should visit Texas Hill Country, and what's next for the expanding brand.
Tell us more about Camp Fimfo.
The first Camp Fimfo location is just 1 mile down the road from a Jellystone Park location, but we [at Northgate Resorts] just love the Texas Hill Country area. We plan to expand beyond Texas eventually, but it's a great camping state and a beautiful area. After Waco, we are hoping to open at least two more locations (not yet announced) in 2023. Amenities will vary by each locale—the first is on the beautiful Guadalupe River, and we're trying to be very intentional with all of our properties. The Texas Hill Country location features an interactive water playground, mini-golf, gem mining, a general store, and a pool (including a swim bar). We try to provide something for everyone.
What types of accommodations are offered?
We have cabins and red carpet RV sites (which include a concrete pad, grill, picnic table, fire ring, and full hookups). Coyote Cabins have three bedrooms (sleeps up to 12 people), a full kitchen, and private porch; Bluebonnet Cabins have bunk beds, a sleeping loft, and separate main bedroom, and the cozy A-frame Riverview Cabins sleep two people. We don't yet offer tent sites, but it can get very hot in Texas so they're not as in demand as our other sites.
What's next for the new locations?
The Waco location should be open by August 2022. We're really leaning into the local flare of the area. Our hope is that you can go to all of our different locations and find the same quality of amenities, but still feel as if you're in a different area of the country because that's a big part of why people travel. The Texas Hill Country location is all about adventure and the river; Waco will have a different vibe with silo cabins, murals by area artists, and locally-inspired food and merchandise vendors.
Who comes to Camp Fimfo?
For most of our resorts, people will travel 2 to 3 hours on average; there is a lot of travel within Texas, but with more parents working remotely, more families are taking epic road trips where they hit a bunch of stops, especially in the summer. A lot of them were saying, "There's nothing here for my older kids to do," at other campgrounds, so there has been an increase in demand for activities for all ages. We're adding hiking trails, an alpine coaster, and more—even if people don't notice the details, it might be adding up for them in the back of their minds. It's really satisfying to see it all come together.
What are some of the main attractions outside of Camp Fimfo?
Camp Fimfo is the perfect place to stay after a concert at the nearby Whitewater Amphitheater (recent acts include Willie Nelson and The Avett Brothers). The whole Hill Country area is really pretty, including historic German towns like Fredericksburg, caverns, and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Tubing on the Guadalupe River is a bucket-list item for many people for good reason—it's a real party in the summer.
How do your offerings change by the season?
Last year we hosted an immersive fall festival with pumpkins and hay bales, holiday weekends, and a yoga event called Namaste Outside. We're open year-round; although peak season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, people start coming around spring break, as soon as it gets warm. Make sure to reserve specific dates or sites in advance—in-demand holiday weekends and sought-after sites with river views fill up fast, so book early or be flexible with your travel dates.
What advice would you give to anyone new to camping?
Try different options—maybe choose a cabin over tent camping—and go for a long weekend when you'll have enough time to experience the campground, but you're not stuck there for a whole week. If you're taking your RV out for the first time, don't go too far: Be reasonably adventurous, but stay within a 1- to 2-hour range from home if you can. And always bring bug spray and sunscreen.

What inspired you to work in the camping industry?
My grandpa had a seasonal site in Michigan—where I'm from—so I grew up with the seasonal experience of RV camping. I mostly stay on the marketing side of things, but my favorite part of my job is being able to impact the guest experience. Most people get just a few weeks of vacation, and if they choose to spend one of their weeks at Camp Fimfo, or one of our other resorts, that's really cool. It's a fun product to market—who doesn't like the outdoors and vacations?

Q: Hook to console.log in electron I'm looking to hook to console.log in electron.
I tried following the steps as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9624028/2091948
While the above works well in node.js, this same approach doesn't work in electron (which in-turn is node.js based)
How can I achieve this in electron?
I need to capture all calls to console.log, and console.error, so that I can use the module electron-log(https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-log) to hook to all console.log, and console.error calls.

A: I think this could be done just via overriding console.log or console.error like this:
var log = require("electron-log");

console.log = function (message) {
  log.info(message);
}
console.error = function (message) {
  log.error(message);
}

Alternatively, if you like to preserve the old functions and/or store all messages in an array for later use, you could use the following functions:
var log = require("electron-log"), msgInfo = [], msgErr = [];

// Preserve the old, built-in functions
console.log_old = console.log;
console.error_old = console.error;

console.log = function (message) {
  msgInfo.push(message);
  log.info(message);
}

console.error = function (message) {
  msgErr.push(message);
  log.error(message);
}

You can use these functions in a browser window, for the main process, the code you already mentioned should work with some adaptions:
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/9624028, written by "kevin"
var logs = [],

hook_stream = function(_stream, fn) {
  // Reference default write method
  var old_write = _stream.write;
  // _stream now write with our shiny function
  _stream.write = fn;

  return function() {
    // reset to the default write method
    _stream.write = old_write;
  };
},

// hook up standard output
unhook_stdout = hook_stream(process.stdout, function(string, encoding, fd) {
  logs.push(string);
}),

// require electron-log
log = require("electron-log");

// goes to our custom write method
console.log('foo');
console.log('bar');

unhook_stdout();

console.log('Not hooked anymore.');

// Now do what you want with logs stored by the hook
logs.forEach(function(_log) {
  // Either log the contents of the message array...
  //console.log('logged: ' + _log);

  // ...or use electron-log to actually log them.
  log.info(_log);
});

This code will work in the main process, because there NodeJS creates the stream to stdout. In the renderer process you will have to use the functions I mentioned above, because Electron doesn't create any stream but rather lets Chromium log all messages to it's Developer Console.

A: You can hook up to the console-message event of the WebContent object (available from the webContent property on BrowserView and BrowserWindow).
Note that it only provides it as a string so if you are loggign an object it will be received as [object Object]

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to mental health treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Time frames in the program depend on the client's success and individual requirements. A Better Today is a long-term program from several months to a year.
The program at Crestwood is a mix of global expectations of all of clients as well as individualized treatment, meaning they tailor treatment to a person's specific background and needs: age, medical condition(s), religious beliefs, lifestyle, as some examples.
Many of those suffering from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders, also suffer from addiction. For treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder, we offer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
How effective was Crestwood Behavioral Health Center?

How Factory Fish Farms Misuse Antibiotics
The frightening public health impacts of the overuse of antibiotics to raise animals for food are becoming clear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that over 2 million Americans contract an antibiotic-resistant infection each year, leading to at least 23,000 deaths.
Download Issue Brief
We all need safe food and clean water.
Fewer people realize that the aquaculture industry also has an antibiotics problem. Just like raising livestock and poultry, many large-scale fish farming operations rely on the misuse and overuse of antibiotics to compensate for crowded, stressful conditions.
Many fish and other seafood are given low doses of antibiotics in feed over long periods of time to try to prevent the spread of illness. These practices lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Imagine taking a low dose of antibiotics every day to prevent getting sick, rather than going to the doctor to get a prescription or antibiotics when you actually are sick.
Aquaculture production has grown substantially over the last several decades. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), total global aquaculture pro- duction has reached nearly 67 billion tons. Aquaculture has risen from just over 13 percent of total global fish production to 42 percent since 1990.
The use of antibiotics in aquaculture varies widely around the world. Since most of the seafood that we eat in the United States is imported, practices used around the world have the potential to affect anyone who consumes seafood. The risks from this poorly regulated industry include residues of antibiotics and other drugs that remain in the products that we eat, as well as antibiotic-resistant bacteria created by the overuse of antibiotics.

Q: Does PeeWee support interaction with MySQL Views? I am trying to access pre-created MySQL View in the database via. peewee treating it as a table [peewee.model], however I am still prompted with Operational Error 1054 unknown column.
Does PeeWee Supports interactions with database view ?

A: Peewee has been able to query against views when I've tried it, but while typing up a simple proof-of-concept I ran into two potential gotcha's.
First, the code:
from peewee import *

db = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')

class Foo(Model):
    name = TextField()
    class Meta: database = db

db.create_tables([Foo])
for name in ('huey', 'mickey', 'zaizee'):
    Foo.create(name=name)

OK -- nothing exciting, just loaded three names into a table. Then I made a view that corresponds to the upper-case conversion of the name:
db.execute_sql('CREATE VIEW foo_view AS SELECT UPPER(name) FROM foo')

I then tried the following, which failed:
class FooView(Foo):
    class Meta:
        db_table = 'foo_view'

print [fv.name for fv in FooView.select()]

Then I ran into the first issue.
When I subclassed "Foo", I brought along a primary key column named "id". Since I used a bare select() (FooView.select()), peewee assumed i wasnted both the "id" and the "name". Since the view has no "id", I got an error.
I tried again, specifying only the name:
print [fv.name for fv in FooView.select(FooView.name)]

This also failed.
The reason this second query fails can be found by looking at the cursor description on a bare select:
curs = db.execute_sql('select * from foo_view')
print curs.description[0][0]  # Print the first column's name.
# prints UPPER(name)

SQLite named the view's column "UPPER(name)". To fix this, I redefined the view:
db.execute_sql('CREATE VIEW foo_view AS SELECT UPPER(name) AS name FROM foo')

Now, when I query the view it works just fine:
print [x.name for x in FooView.select(FooView.name)]
# prints ['HUEY', 'MICKEY', 'ZAIZEE']

Hope that helps.
