Chances are you've heard of Glacier Point. It's one of the most photographed vistas and better known viewpoints in the country. President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir had a famous photograph made from the point on the President's trip to Yosemite in 1903. This trip resulted in Yosemite Valley being incorporated from state control into the National Park system and receiving greater protection.
Glacier Point was also the site of the world-famous Yosemite Firefall. The proprietors of the Glacier Point Hotel would dump a stream of burning embers over the 3,000 foot precipice on a recurring schedule to mimic a waterfall and impress the Yosemite visitors. The practice was stopped in 1968 by the NPS, which declared it against their policy of promoting and protecting natural park features.
Located along the southern rim of Yosemite Valley overlooking some of the most iconic natural landmarks in the world (such as Half Dome), Glacier Point is a Yosemite stop that must be seen to be appreciated. When Glacier Point Road is open, typically from May through October, be prepared as the renowned vista can attract quite a crowd. There is plenty of room for all, but if you are hoping to find a quieter experience at Glacier Point, consider visiting for sunrise or visiting in the shoulder or offseason via the Four Mile Trail up from the valley floor when the road is closed.
The panorama lives up to the hype, sweeping from Yosemite Falls along the northeast to the Giant Staircase in the Merced River Canyon, including the best seat in the house for taking in the shapely monolith of Half Dome and the rugged terrain of Tenaya Canyon below. Peaks of the Cathedral Range and Clarks Range are also visible.
With paved, level trails, Glacier Point is ADA-accessible. There is also a snack and souvenir hut open during the peak summer months. In addition to being a destination in itself, Glacier Point is the trailhead for the Panorama Trail and the Four Mile Trail as well as for the Pohono Trail, which connects to Sentinel Dome and Taft Point to the west.
One of the best views of Half Dome and eastern Yosemite Valley. Easy access when the road is open. Family friendly.
Hands down a must-see destination in Yosemite National Park. Also, it's the starting point for one of the best hikes in the Park: Panorama Point.


Day 3 of December Reflections and the prompt is : best day of 2017.
This year has been long and short, amazing and disconcerting, a breeze and a challenge. But I started with an intention – this year was one of the 'voice'. My voice.
In January I attended a writers' retreat for finding our voices to talk about the issues we care about.
Visiting #Iceland twice, strengthened my relationship with the land, my vision as well as my voice talking about my body in the world.
And now into the final month of the year, my time with @Idlewomen #shiftingloyalties is coming to an end and the signs I have been receiving are that I am on the right path. Sometimes that path might be lonely, I might be the only loud voice quaking ( we have ducks here) about an issue but support and encouragement is not to too away.
Last night I shared my poetry for the first time since I lost my voice in 2015. I'm emboldened. I heard my voice. My voice is strong and true and she is me.
Click here to visit The Phoenix Soul.
I chose the wrong month to be on a hiatus as I'm bubbling with excitement. There are so many amazing things I want to share with you, what are happening right now, in this moment. And they fill me with joy. Big-wide-smiling-joy. You know the kind, you've seen my self-portraiture. You know it's that smile.
It gives me great pleasure to share with you my Truth Tribe interview with the lovely Amanda Fall, creator and publisher of The Phoenix Soul magazine.
The Phoenix Soul has been on my radar for a few years now, ever since I read Beth Morey and followed Teresa Robinson, creator of Right Brain Planner.
What appealled to me about this magazine is the openess, the honest sharing and communication between a sisterhood of inspiring and creative women. I aspired to be part of this community as I worked through the trauma and grief of being alone, ostracised without such support and encouragement.
Over the past couple of years, through my work and practice of becoming my authentic self, I have enjoyed the privilege of sharing my words, images, thoughts and feelings via social media, which at one time was the death of me. Within this digital space, I have found my voice again. So it is really humbling and awe-inspiring when someone I admire, who is doing great work out there, reaches out to me and asks me to be involved in a beautiful project.
I jumped at the chance to be interviewed for The Phoenix Soul because I appreciate the truth-telling that this magazine shares. I gasp at and empathise with the women who share their stories within, expose their vulnerabilities with such strength and courage. I aspired to stand amongst these women. And now I do.
Selling for $6, each issue of The Phoenix Soul magazine is packed with oodles of juiciness. Pages of hand-crafted mixed media backgrounds in full color with handwritten love notes from Amanda fill the reader with hope, healing and love. Soul-centred and truth-telling, words and imagery combine to provide a powerful, intimate read.
Have I mentioned how honoured I am to be part of this tribe? Head on over and grab your copy today and I'd be mighty surprised if you aren't inspired, affected and empowered by what you explore within The Phoenix Soul.

THE WAIT IS OVER. Almost. We still have a couple more months to wait for the release of Incredibles 2, but the cast for Brad Bird's hotly anticipated super sequel is here! While the familiar voices from the first film are returning, there are a couple of new additions. And rather than just announce the cast in a press release, Pixar has taken it one step further. The Google Arts app, which matches up user selfies with works of art, has been really popular over the past couple weeks. Incredibles 2 has utilized it with amazing results. It almost recalls Syndrome's data base from the first film. Check out the cast list and accompanying art work below!
Helen Parr, (voice of Holly Hunter) known in the Superworld as Elastigirl, hung up her Supersuit to raise the family with husband Bob, leaving their crime-fighting days behind them. But when she's tapped to lead a campaign to bring the Supers back into the spotlight, she finds she can still bend, stretch and twist herself into any shape needed to solve the trickiest of mysteries. In short, she's still got it. That's good news, too, because a new villain is emerging—unlike any they've ever seen before.
It's a lot to take in, but thankfully this is only the beginning! Helen aka Elastigirl is the main character in this film, and based on what we've learned, this was a very thoughtful decision. Personally speaking, my hopes for this film have skyrocketed. I think it's amazing that Bob will be the one in charge of the household, taking over Helen's role, and that the filmmakers are treating that kind of work with the respect it deserves. Each of the new characters, particularly the female ones, are super interesting! I'm wondering if VOYD will be to Elastigirl what Buddy/Syndrome was to Mr. Incredible.
Incredibles 2 will be flying into theaters on June 15, 2018!
The Good Dinosaur has changed in most ways you can think of. A release date of May 2014 was moved to November 2015. Director Bob Peterson, who originally conceived the idea, was taken off the project and replaced by Peter Sohn. The storyline involving the dinosaurs as farmers was scrapped as well. And now, a brand new cast has been announced to headline the prehistoric flick.
When John Lithgow spoke about the "dismantled story" last August, he mentioned that he was one of the cast members to rerecord his lines. But Lithgow is no longer attached to the film. In fact, Frances McDormand remains the only original cast member still signed on. Read the full cast list below.
Arlo, the young apatosaurus braving a journey to find his way back home will now be played by Raymond Ochoa, replacing Lucas Neff.
Poppa is now played by Jeffrey Wright, taking over from John Lithgow. Momma is Frances McDormand.
Bill Hader (who you can hear as Fear in Inside Out, opening in exactly one week!) was slated to play Arlo's brother Forrest, but now Arlo will have a new brother named Buck, played by ABC black-ish star, Marcus Scribner. Other cast members include Anna Paquin, Steve Zahn, AJ Buckley, Sam Elliot, and Jack Bright as the young human boy, Spot.
This new cast was announced via Disney's blog. Perhaps to assuage the worries fans have about the state of the film, given all the changes, a paragraph was dedicated to explaining Pixar's method of scrapping and starting new. With Pete Sohn in the director's chair, this writer has no doubt about the level of quality we should expect.
New Cars 2 Characters: Meet Professor Z + Tomber!
Two new characters from Cars 2 have rolled out to meet us today, Professor Z (voiced by Thomas Kretschmann) and Tomber (voiced by Michel Michelis).
Professor Z, aka "The Professor," is an internationally wanted weapons designer in a small, sophisticated German package. He is a brilliant, but mad monocle-wearing scientist who is plotting to sabotage the World Grand Prix. Though his true motive is unclear, Professor Z is willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate all obstacles and keep the "project" on schedule.
Tomber is a dubious little French car with an unusual, and very unstable, three-wheeled design that befits the meaning of his name – to fall. By trade he deals car parts from a stall in a Parisian market—though his questionable merchandise sources have led to his reluctant acquaintance with British secret agent Finn McMissile.
We will discover Professor Z's true intentions and more about Tomber when Cars 2 hits US theatres on June 24.
Actress Jodi Benson and voice of Barbie in Toy Story 2, has slipped to IESB.net that Michael Keaton has been cast as her counterpart in Toy Story 3. Keaton is set to play Barbie's romance, Ken.
Keaton has already starred in Cars as the voice of Chick Hicks. Benson will also be returning to the film along with Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Estelle Harris, Joan Cusack, Wallace Shawn, Don Rickles and John Ratzenberger.
Toy Story 3 will hit theatres on June 18, 2010.
Just briefly, Rotten Tomatoes has an article today on favourite moments from WALL•E as chosen by the stars of the film as well as people from Pixar.
The CBS The Early Show yesterday had a talk with Sigourney Weaver about her thoughts and experiences on doing the computer voice to the film WALL•E. She also says why she thinks that Andrew Stanton hired here with an homage on her role as Ripley in Alien.
Will Paul Newman Return For Cars 2?
MTV's Shawn Adler looks at the possibility of Cars 2 not moving forward without Paul Newman who voiced the character of Doc Hudson.
"Well, you know, his character is coming back," John Lasseter told MTV News. "He's a good friend of mine, and so we're just waiting to see." Rumours have been floating around that Newman is battling lung cancer and he retired after Cars.
Hopefully Newman is well enough to record for Cars 2, but more problems have arisen with the tragic passing of George Carlin who voiced the Hippy VW, Fillmore.
One of the biggest issues many have for Cars 2 is that it's simply a money grab. Lasseter assured MTV that Pixar have come up with a "great, great storyline."
Just briefly, ComingSoon.net has a video featurette of their exclusive interviews with director Andrew Stanton, as well as Fred Willard and Jeff Garlin on WALL•E.
WALL•E hits theatres on June 27.
MTV's Shawn Adler also has some more information on Toy Story 3 for our pleasure. Adler chatted to John Ratzenberger who plays Hamm in the film. "Hammy is a villian in the beginning of the movie." said Ratzenberger. However Hamm does manage to redeem himself.
Estelle Harris who plays Mrs Potato Head said she will also have a bigger role in the film.
"I did see very rough animation. And Pixar was very secretive about the plot. For a long time I couldn't tell what I knew of the plot. I couldn't tell that I was the only live action person in the movie. So I find it strange that I'm here today. I thought for a while that maybe they wouldn't allow people to see the movie, so none of the secrets would be given away."

Facebook Messenger brings free calling feature to U.S. iPhones
By Molly McHugh	 January 16, 2013 3:00PM PST
Earlier this month, Facebook introduced new voice calling and messaging features to its Messenger apps – however, the updates were available to our Northern neighbors only. Today, the social network has pushed the new functions our way as well. If you're a U.S. or Canadian resident with an iPhone, you can now call any other user over Wi-Fi or using your data plan – so long as the person you're trying to call has an iPhone and the app as well.
Now when you open Messenger (after updating it, of course) and choose a contact, you will see a small "i" icon in the upper right-hand corner. Hitting this opens up a page with a "Free Call" option.
Call quality is decent: You don't avoid the constant, quiet static of a VoIP call, but it's surprisingly clear with little cut out. Speaker phone, as you would expect, cuts down on that clarity a little, but it isn't a huge sacrifice.
When would you ever use this, you ask? There are a handful of scenarios: When you have bad cell service; when you're low on minutes – and really, truly, the most convenient use is when you need to get in touch with someone whose number you don't have. As long as you're Facebook friends and they have updated Messenger for iPhone, you're good to go. Of course, that means… if you have Messenger for iPhone, anyone you're Facebook friends with can call you.
And there you have it. Facebook now does phone.

Published in	 Takahashi, T. & den Herder, J.-W. & Bautz, M. SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2014. Palais des congrès de Montréal, Québec (Canada) - 22-27 june 2014 - SPIE Press. 2014, p. 15
Collection	 SPIE Proceedings; 9144
Abstract We describe the instrument concept of a high angular resolution telescope dedicated to the sub-GeV (from ≳10 MeV to ≳1 GeV) gamma-ray photon detection. This mission, named PANGU (PAir-productioN Gamma-ray Unit), has been suggested as a candidate for the joint small mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). A wide range of topics of both astronomy and fundamental physics can be attacked with PANGU, covering Galactic and extragalactic cosmic-ray physics, extreme physics of a variety of extended (e.g. supernova remnants, galaxies, galaxy clusters) and compact (e.g. black holes, pulsars, gamma-ray bursts) objects, solar and terrestrial gamma-ray phenomena, and searching for dark matter decay and/or annihilation signature etc. The unprecedented point spread function can be achieved with a pair-production telescope with a large number of thin active tracking layers to precisely reconstruct the pair-produced electron and positron tracks. Scintillating fibers or thin silicon micro-strip detectors are suitable technology for such a tracker. The energy measurement is achieved by measuring the momentum of the electrons and positrons through a magnetic field. The innovated spectrometer approach provides superior photon pointing resolution, and is particular suitable in the sub-GeV range. The level of tracking precision makes it possible to measure the polarization of gamma rays, which would open up a new frontier in gamma-ray astronomy. The frequent full-sky survey at sub-GeV with PANGU's large field of view and significantly improved point spread function would provide crucial information to GeV-TeV astrophysics for current/future missions including Fermi, DAMPE, HERD, and CTA, and other multi-wavelength telescopes.

Chanteur Country US né le 12 Novembre 1964 à Tillamook (Oregon).
Jerry Kilgore grew up in Tillamook, OR, and developed an interest in country music by listening to his family's Merle Haggard and Buck Owens records. He took up the guitar as a teenager but didn't form his first band until the age of 20, when he began playing in a honky tonk one in Portland. After a couple of years, he moved to Mesa, AZ, and played in a club there five nights a week for three years, then moved to North Carolina and fronted a honky tonk band for two more years before deciding to try his luck in Nashville. His breakthrough came when "Love Lessons," a song he had co-written, peaked in the country Top Ten for Tracy Byrd in December 1995. John Michael Montgomery took his song "Cover You in Kisses" into the country Top Ten in 1998. In January 1999, he became the first male artist signed to the newly formed Nashville division of Virgin Records. His debut single, "Love Trip," came out in the summer of 1999 and made the country charts, followed in September by a debut album of the same name.

Michigan Episcopalians lean on Scripture, leverage power to build a more just world
By Lynette Wilson
Episcopalians in the Diocese of Michigan participated in a two-day, online community organizing training in February. Since June 2020, more than 140 Michigan Episcopalians have completed the introductory training. Screenshot: Diocese of Michigan
[Episcopal News Service] Michigan Bishop Bonnie Perry's leadership follows two frameworks: Scripture and community organizing principles. She employs this mix of theological and secular tools within the diocese and the communities and region it serves.
"I long for a church that is dynamic, or relevant, deeply involved with the issues of the world and continually calling people back to what nurtures our souls, what gives us life, and then using that sustenance to then create change, to create a more just world. A world that some people may think is beyond our reach, a world that may be naive for me to think about, but I think our communities of faith are sometimes not audacious enough in our hopes," Perry told Episcopal News Service in an interview when asked about her vision for the diocese.
Perry was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Michigan on Feb. 8, 2020, just over a month before the COVID-19 pandemic forced churches to suspend in-person worship. The diocese covers southeast Michigan, including Detroit and its suburbs, and extends 90 miles west through Ann Arbor to the state capital, Lansing.
Prior to her consecration as bishop, Perry served as rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church in the Ravenswood section of Chicago, Illinois, for 27 years. In Chicago, she was known inside and outside the church for inspiring community engagement. All Saints later became an important community partner on an affordable housing campaign aimed at redressing redlining and other racist and discriminatory lending and housing policies that historically targeted African Americans.
Less than six months after Perry's arrival in Michigan, at her direction the diocese began offering community organizer trainings that were facilitated by Michael Gecan, senior adviser and longtime organizer at the Industrial Areas Foundation, and Keisha Krumm, executive director and lead organizer of Greater Cleveland Congregations.
Leaders in the Diocese of Michigan "want to rebuild and improve their institutions. And they're looking for tools and ways to think about it, get it started, engage their own staffs, clergy and lay leaders," Gecan told ENS. "And that's where it all starts: It starts with talented leaders who understand their mission, understand the challenges, understand the context, and then want to begin testing, experimenting and trying different ways to revitalize their institutions."
The diocese offered trainings in June 2020 and again in February. "After the first training, there was a lot of buzz and we were able to get 70 more [participants], and now it's buzzing again," said Jo Ann Hardy, the diocese's canon to the ordinary and chief operating officer and a native Detroiter. "Folks do see the value; they see the value for their community and they also see the value in their local congregations….
"What we're doing right now through the community organizing training efforts is trying to identify leaders, so that when we see a big problem in our communities abroad in the diocese, we can galvanize people who can lead those efforts and also already have established relationships with community leaders and folks in municipalities that can help us get big things done."
Building on participants' enthusiasm, the diocese is offering further leadership training to develop the one-on-one relationship-building tools. These skills are necessary for "galvanizing" power to address such issues as lack of affordable housing, food insecurity, police brutality and systemic racism, environmental injustice and gentrification, and to support efforts including criminal record expungement, which helps formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society and the workforce.
Episcopalians engage in public life as individuals, groups, networks and coalitions; organizing emphasizes the strength of citizens' consolidated power. Perry was first introduced to community organizing in 1989, around the time of her ordination to the priesthood while working in the Diocese of Newark alongside the Rt. Rev. Mark Beckwith, who would later become the diocesan bishop.
"What I'm looking for and longing for, praying for and working for is I want our communities of faith to be people who have the ability to enact Gospel values. You're only able to put the values in place that you have the power to make happen. And for me, power is morally neutral; it's what you do with it," Perry said.
Participation in public life is not the same as partisanship, or party fealty. Afterall, as Gecan pointed out during the February training, political parties regularly swap governing power, and to affiliate with any one party would be ineffective. In his book, "Going Public: An Organizer's Guide to Citizen Action," Gecan presents case studies where citizens collectively shifted the power dynamics with elected and government officials, landlords and corporate leaders to advocate for everything from affordable housing to pubic pools to cleaner, better-stocked supermarkets.
"'You only get the justice that you have the power to compel,'" Hardy told ENS, sharing what she called her favorite "Mike Gecan quote."
During the second day of the two-day online training, participants observed Gecan and former House of Deputies President Bonnie Anderson, who is a member of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Pontiac, have a one-on-one conversation during which they got a sense for one another as people – who they are, what drives them and what issues are important to them. Then the group paired off in private Zoom rooms for 20 minutes to practice having an initial meeting, during which they worked on making contact and establishing rapport, coming together ahead of a need or crisis, or to divert a crisis.
Vivian Asztalos, a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Belleville, a 4,000-person community located halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor, found the conversation practice instructive.
"The way he [Gecan] structured one-on-one meetings was really helpful for me," said Asztalos, who has worked as a professional activist on political campaigns, mostly recruiting and motivating others to participate. "It was helpful because most of my one-on-one experience is more traditional, like interview mindset: Can you do this job? Are you interested? That kind of stuff."

Perry views having conversations with community leaders and elected officials as part of her job. "If we're going to be effective in shifting the culture of our country to that where we are more connected rather than polarized, then you know, we need to have relationships with each other. And then you can make common calls, and then you can move on an issue," she said.
The Rev. Nikki Seger, who leads St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Lansing's southeast side, was a lay member and warden at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Chicago while Perry was rector there, and Seger served on Michigan's diocesan bishop search committee, which prioritized racial reconciliation work in its profile.
"I have known for a long time that Bishop Perry has, you know, this, this call for organizing as a way to be effective church in the world," Seger said.
Seger's parish is looking to couple its work around Sacred Ground, The Episcopal Church's film-based dialogue series on race and faith, with organizing, and it has both an advocacy and an outreach team. "It took us a little while to differentiate what advocacy was versus outreach," she said.
Outreach is addressing the immediate problem, while "advocacy is looking upstream and seeing what's causing it," Seger said, paraphrasing the famous Archbishop Desmond Tutu quotation: "There comes a point when we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in."
Though not inherently bad, service absent a broader vision can create or reinforce dependence, as Gecan pointed out during the training. Part of the challenge is that "it's endless and doesn't get to the root" of the problem, while also diverting from mutuality, which turns recipients into beneficiaries.
Some years ago, members of All Saints Episcopal Church in East Lansing began to turn their attention to the reasons people were metaphorically falling into the river.
"When I came to All Saints in like '91, I was the director of Christian education, and at that time, we did a lot of outreach, which would be service," Janet Chegwidden told ENS. The social justice piece began to come together about 10 years later, when All Saints members began to read and learn about engaging politically and influencing public policy. "Then we kind of segued into Action of Greater Lansing and really tried to do both, separating outreach as a service and immediate help for those in need, as opposed to effecting change, which is what I consider social justice."
Through Action of Greater Lansing, a faith-based, nonpartisan coalition that works to hold elected officials accountable to the needs of their constituents, Chegwidden has led a campaign to provide local specialty health care services to chronically ill children insured by Medicaid, which is work that requires a long-term commitment.
After taking part in the organizer training, Chegwidden said she also appreciated the one-on-one conversation exercise, since oftentimes interactions, particularly with officials, can feel stilted, with one person doing most of the listening. "I would like to be a bit more confident in how to build power relationships with decision-makers."
For the Rev. Anthony Estes, associate rector at Christ Church Detroit, it's the Scripture.
"My own sense of priesthood, personhood doesn't get real energized around activism; I wouldn't describe myself as an activist priest," Estes, who was ordained in 2019, told ENS. As a new curate, he met with Perry and they discussed his passions and energy when she suggested he take the introductory organizer training, which he did last month.
"I didn't know what to expect. What I got was another way to think about what it means for the kingdom of God to have come near to us, not only initially in Jesus, but what it means to continue to proclaim and promulgate that today," said Estes, whose church is located near the Detroit River in the city's historic Bricktown section. "It is a way of, of using and aggregating the institution's power, the local church's power to make our little corner of Rivard and [East] Jefferson, wherever our local church is, to make that look more like an annex of the kingdom of God on the Earth."
"We need to make this zip code look a little bit more like the kingdom of God, where the eyes of the blind are open and the hungry are fed," he said. "Community organizing is just another way to do that very work by essentially making disciples and getting leaders together to work also for that same kind of change. … When they come home from a long day of being in the world and confronting the powers and speaking truth to power, I want to make sure that they have water to bathe their feet in, and bread and wine to eat and drink."

Pfizer CEO Dismisses Accusations that Vaccine Report Timed for After Election: 'We Announced It the Moment We Learned About It'
By Jason Lemon On 11/9/20 at 5:50 PM EST
World Pfizer Vaccine Coronavirus Donald Trump
The CEO of Pfizer dismissed any suggestions that his company waited until the presidential election was decided before announcing the promising results of its COVID-19 vaccine trials.
The multinational pharmaceutical company revealed early Monday that its vaccine (produced in conjunction with BioNTech) for the new coronavirus has been shown to be 90 percent effective. These results were better than many scientists and public health experts had hoped for. But some conspiracy theorists, and President Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. quickly made unfounded accusations that the company had waited until after the election was decided to reveal the results.
Albert Bourla, the chairman and CEO of Pfizer, completely rejected these suggestions in a Monday interview with CNN. "We announced it the moment we learned about it," Bourla said. "I said multiple times that the election for us is an artificial timeline."
"This is when science brought it to us," he said

"At Pfizer, we are moving at the speed of science and only science guides all the decisions regarding our vaccine candidate. There are absolutely no political considerations involved in this process," company spokesperson Sharon Castillo told Newsweek in an email.
Shortly after the news broke internationally, Trump Jr. argued that the "timing" was suspicious.
"The timing of this is pretty amazing. Nothing nefarious about the timing of this at all right?" Trump Jr. tweeted.

Trump and some of his top aides had claimed for months that the vaccine would be ready by Election Day, despite the public health officials within his own administration saying that timeline was likely too optimistic. The president's insistence that the vaccine be ready before the election drew substantial concern from doctors, scientists and many lawmakers—as they feared this could lead to the approval of an unsafe vaccine.
However, Pfizer's announcement does not mean the COVID-19 vaccine is ready or approved for use by the public. The company's trial will continue into December, but the process to manufacture millions of doses of the vaccine is already underway. Pfizer said it plans to have some 50 million doses ready by the end of the year and some 1.3 billion to administer in 2021.

Why Pfizer Avoided R&D Funds From Trump's Operation Warp Speed
President-elect Joe Biden released a statement, which was emailed to Newsweek, praising the reported success of the Pfizer vaccine.
"I congratulate the brilliant women and men who helped produce this breakthrough and to give us such cause for hope," Biden said. But he noted somberly that the pandemic would still persist for sometime.
"It is also important to understand that the end of the battle against COVID-19 is still months away. This news follows a previously announced timeline by industry officials that forecast vaccine approval by late November," he said. "Even if that is achieved, and some Americans are vaccinated later this year, it will be many more months before there is widespread vaccination in this country."

"Being a volunteer with Worldwide Action was something new to many of us. I was lucky enough to work with some of the guys on the very first project, before the charity was even founded, so was looking forward to meeting up again.
This time the project was part of the official and registered charity which meant that lots of background work had to be done and legal requirements meant that there was a lot of administration which needed to be completed. There were several courses which had to be completed online and checklists for all to attempt to bring along with any personal equipment you wished to bring along."
"I have personally worked with Graeme over the last 8 years or so and have considered him a friend over this time as well as work colleague. Since his previous employ I have seen a man who felt an immense desire to serve, hence the development of his previous careers to now running the charity.
Graeme turned a one off trip to help others in need during an earthquake recovery in Nepal into a vocation. He carried his own stuff in a rucksack and made a difference, even putting his own safety at risk by arriving in Nepal and then being greeted by the second major earthquake!
He has a drive which has been relentless, infectious and inspiring to all that have worked with him on the projects. So far building more than 10 classrooms in Nepal, Uganda and Malawi, working on a project at present in Cambodia and looking to help more children "Survive and Thrive" wherever that help may be needed.
Graeme actually believes his "social interface" is not that good, but he actually is very socially capable - he just doesn't make things 'frilly'! He keeps it simple with facts and plans which make complete sense. His sole aim is to help the kids and nothing gets in the way of that drive."
can you describe a strong memory of the experiences?
"It's a pleasure to be on a site where you have the basic tools to create a brighter future for the next generation and everyone buys into that.
Graeme is always the first and last on site, is always professional and conscientious of any hazards to either the volunteers or the children."
how has working with worldwide action affected you?
"These projects leave you with a humble recognition of how lucky we are, how we take basic things for granted and how just 2 weeks or even a week of volunteering can change many hundreds of lives for the better.
The pride and self worth you feel afterwards is something money cannot buy, and memories that will be etched forever, thank you Worldwide Action and Graeme for being an inspiration."

Great Britain's Jody Cundy with his gold medal won at the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Mexico last year.
Jody Cundy is adamant a gold medal in Rio next year will provide the high point of his glittering para-cycling career.
The 36-year-old 10-time world champion from Wisbech is still smarting over his explosive exit from London 2012 when a start-gate issue saw him disqualified from his favoured kilo event.
Cundy's subsequent rant at track-side officials was caught on camera and led to him becoming something of a household name for the wrong reasons.
And although subsequent performances have emphasised that Cundy has put what could have proved a career-defining moment behind him, he admits the pain of the incident still spurs him on.
Cundy said: "My motivation has pretty much been that I didn't get to ride in the kilo in London.
"I knew I was in the best shape of my life then, and since then I've managed to win two world titles and break the world record.
"When I won the first world title after London, it felt like the best gold medal I've ever won, but after that I managed to put those memories of London to bed.
Cundy won the first three of his five Paralympic gold medals in swimming before switching codes and triumphing in both the kilo and team sprint events in Beijing in 2008.
But bronze in the 4km pursuit in London was not what the world-leading Cundy expected and led to a prolonged period of soul-searching not helped by a diminishing number of world-level events for para-track cyclists.
Another world gold - Cundy's career 10th - in Apeldoorn earlier this year went a long way towards proving that the Wisbech-born racer had shrugged off any lingering frustrations surrounding his sport.
"It's been a struggle with the lack of major events for track cyclists and it's something we need to sit down and discuss as a sport after Rio," added Cundy.
"Motivation is always going to be a factor when you're basically having to set yourself training targets in order to keep improving, because the Paralympics are a long way off.


Home News To Sell or Not to Sell: Should you keep your first property?
The first thing you will want to look at is whether your first property will serve as an investment opportunity in the future. For example, homes that are located in a prime location or that are smaller and less expensive may have higher demand as time passes.
Another way you may be able to use your first property as an investment opportunity is if you are able to rent it out. This could be rented to a traditional renter or even to a traveler who is visiting your area for holiday. Regardless of how you choose to rent your first property, this could be something that could give you additional income that you can invest elsewhere.
If you do believe that hanging on to your first property would make a great investment for you, make sure you consider everything that goes into owning two homes. For example, you must be able to pay both mortgages consistently.
Also, make sure you are accounting for the additional time and money you will spend maintaining and updating your first home. This could be something as simple as mowing the grass or as complicated as replacing the roof.
Your first property could be an excellent investment. However, you will want to way all the pros and cons of following this system so that you are able to make the best decision possible.


Love the emoticons at the site's comment!
Interesting! But it's still hard not to see the whole thing as we know it (my brain still wants to see the "oceans" as the continents it's familiar with).
Amuseal: I don't think you know what "vice versa" means.
But if there was no oceans, there would quite likely be no life.... so the earth would look basically like Mars... but maybe a different color.
The earth with no land would have lots of fish. Not very interesting at all.

Q: Jackson JSON object mapper deserializes to LinkedHashMap instead of HashMap I have a POJO that has an inner map. I want this to deserialize into a HashMap from my JSON, but Jackson deserializes the inner map from the JSON into a LinkedHashMap. I can force it to use HashMap by changing the type of the Map from "Map" to "HashMap", but I want to know if there is a way to tell Jackson to deserialize into a specific implementation of Map?
Here is the JSON:
{
    "transforms": {
        "variable_name1": [{
            "min": 100,
            "max": 200,
            "value": 0.6
        }],
        "variable_name2": [{
            "min": 100,
            "max": 200,
            "value": 0.6
        }],
        "variable_name3": [{
            "min": 100,
            "max": 200,
            "value": 0.6
        }]
    }
}

And the Transforms class:
public class Transformer {
    Map<String, List<Transform>> transforms;

    public Transformer() {
        transforms = new HashMap<String, List<Transform>>();
    }

    public void setTransforms(Map<String, List<Transform>> transforms) {
        this.transforms = transforms;
    }
}

How I am using the ObjectMapper:
try(Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(TransformTester.class.getResourceAsStream("transforms.json"), "UTF-8")) {
            ObjectMapper objMapper = new ObjectMapper();
            Transformer tr = objMapper.readValue(reader, Transformer.class);
}

A: If you want some other type, you can implement the Jackson converter and annotate your class with it.
public static class TransformConverter implements Converter<Map<String,List>,Map<String,List>>{

    @Override
    public Map<String,List> convert(Map<String,List> map) {
        return new HashMap<>(map);
    }

    @Override
    public JavaType getInputType(TypeFactory typeFactory) {
        return typeFactory.constructMapType(Map.class, String.class, List.class);
    }

    @Override
    public JavaType getOutputType(TypeFactory typeFactory) {
        return typeFactory.constructMapType(Map.class, String.class, List.class);
    }
}

public static class Transformer {
    @JsonDeserialize(converter = TransformConverter.class)
    Map<String, List<Transform>> transforms;
//rest of your class
}

If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/30/20
Posted on April 30, 2020 by Jenny, Kyle and Megan
Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We're here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you're choosing for tonight!
Kyle's Choice
Tonight, NBC is reuniting the cast of Parks and Recreation for a special hour of TV. The series originally ran on the network from 2009-15 and featured an amazing cast, including Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O'Heir, and Retta.
Tonight's event begins with The Paley Center Salutes Parks and Recreation, a half-hour special that looks back on some of the show's most iconic moments over its seven seasons, as well as some fun behind-the-scenes stories from the cast. This will be followed by the all-new A Parks and Recreation Special, a brand-new episode of the series that was filmed by the actors at their homes during this time of isolation. The producers have stated that all of the original characters from the series will return, as well as several guest stars from the Pawnee universe. When the series ended, it was sad to say good-bye to these quirky characters, but I am so excited that we'll get to take this trip back to Pawnee to get an update on Leslie Knope and the gang. This show always made me laugh, and I am really looking forward to this new episode – I am especially interested to see if/how they work in the fact that Chris Pratt has become a major film star since he initially took on the role of the dim-witted, out-of-shape Andy Dwyer!
On tonight's special, "A Parks and Recreation Special," Leslie Knope connects with her friends from the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department – Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer, April Ludgate, Ben Wyatt, Tom Haverford, Donna Meagle, Ann Perkins, Chris Traeger, and more – to check in during a challenging time.
The special and new episode air tonight on NBC starting at 8/7c.
I'll also be watching/recording Young Sheldon, Council of Dads, Top Chef, and Tacoma FD.
Jump with us to see else we think you should watch.
Jenny's Choice
Tonight is the season finale of Last Man Standing, and it should be an exciting one – especially after hearing the news last week that Mandy is pregnant! She and Kyle have been trying since shortly after they got married, so that was very exciting news for not only them but their family and viewers too. It was also fun seeing Mike on Ryan's podcast and actually having something in common. And what was up with that rude waiter? Why did they not complain to the manager? Sheesh!
On tonight's episode, "How You Like Them Pancakes?" Eve returns home for a weekend visit, and Vanessa tries to recreate a childhood tradition for the girls…without Mike. Meanwhile, Jen asks Ed and Chuck for help in finding out who is stealing her work lunches, and Kristin's big day finally arrives.
See if we get to meet Mike & Vanessa's second grandbaby tonight on FOX at 8/7c.
I'll also be watching/DVRing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Man with a Plan, & Top Chef.
Megan's Choice
Young Sheldon always manages to make me laugh, and I am sad to see this season end tonight. Last week's episode had me laughing at Sheldon's dental procedure situation especially hard because my daughter is terrified of the dentist, and this reminded me of those trying times. The rest of last week's episode was a little more serious because it had Dale and Connie having issues because she wouldn't tell him she loved him back. Dale was quite upset. After the trip, Dale returned to find out that the store was robbed after Georgie left the till unlocked. Georgie paid Dale back the money that was stolen, but he still got fired. That is likely to make Connie particularly angry.
On tonight's episode, "A Secret Letter and a Lowly Disc of Processed Meat," Sheldon discovers that Mary's been keeping a secret about his future. Also, Meemaw is furious when she learns Dale fired Georgie.
To see what secret Mary has been keeping, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.
I'll also be watching Station 19, Tommy, and Top Chef.

This was my favorite part of the spoiler clip. Just the way poor Sunil was in love with his new trousers and then Vinnie's like "Wuuuuuuutt?". Also, did anyone else notice how much this song sounds like this?
Episode 9 airs at 11:30am ET / 8:30am PT!
For you bronies, last week's episode of LPS, "Blythe's Crush", will air between the new "My Little Pony" episode at 10:30am ET / 7:30am PT and Episode 9 of LPS.
Oh cool, stream links! I usually try to catch it on TV, but the TV's taken today. Thanks!
Okay, THAT...was one of the best handlings of the old "guys vs girls" concept I've ever seen. I mean, no one was acting like an extreme feminist or extreme sexist (which is what USUALLY happens when this kind of thing pops up in cartoons). I applaud them for that.
Also, Minka. Minka Minka Minka. Minka was amazing in this episode. Her claustrophobia was both hilarious and heartbreaking. And oh god the ending, how it made her a badass. Takes guts to stop a falling elevator with nothing but a fancy comb. Especially since she'd been panicking the whole episode, it was awesome to see her step up and save everyone.
Also, Penny was badass standing up for herself like that.
Also, the song was wonderful.
Also, I'm saying "also" alot.
Pretty good episode I think, but the intro was a bit "too girly" if I may say so.

Brian Marshall
Alter Bridge and Creed
Brian Marshall was born on April 22, 1973 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He started out his music career by playing his father's drums. He states that after scratching his father's drum set a few times, that his dad decided it was time to buy him a bass guitar.

Game Freak's Junichi Masuda was one of the designers on the original Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire games. That means he created environments and maps that make up the region of Hoenn.
In an interview with Kotaku, Masuda revealed that he was inspired by his childhood summers on the island of Kyushu in making Hoenn.
In kanji, "Hoenn" can be roughly translated to "abundance" and bonds" or "connections" when considering "ho" and "en". This is something that Masuda spoke about as well.

Hand-carved sterling silver kiddush cup
Sterling silver kiddush cup
Flat-bottomed kiddush cup
Kiddush (קִדּוּשׁ) is a blessing said by Jews at the start of Shabbat and holiday meals. The term is also used to refer to a light meal served in the synagogue after the long Shabbat and holiday morning prayers. The word comes from a Hebrew root meaning "holy".
1 Kiddush at the evening Shabbat meal
2 Kiddush at the morning (or noon) Shabbat meal
2.1 Kiddush at the third Shabbat meal
3 Kiddush in the synagogue
4 Kiddush on important Jewish holidays
5 The Kiddush cup
Kiddush at the evening Shabbat meal[change | change source]
There are two versions of the Ten Commandments in the Bible. These versions use different words. The version in Exodus[1] says "Remember Shabbat to keep it holy." The version in Deuteronomy[2] says "Guard Shabbat to keep it holy." Jewish custom says that "remember" means to celebrate Shabbat. "Guard" means resting—not working or doing business.[3]
There are many things Jews do to celebrate Shabbat [see Shabbat (Celebrating Shabbat)]. The minimum way to celebrate is to say the blessing "Blessed are You, God, Who makes Shabbat holy." The Talmud adds that the blessing should be said with a cup of wine. This is because wine makes people feel happy.[4] Because of this, the Friday evening meal in a Jewish home starts with a ceremony to say this blessing over a cup of wine.
Text[change | change source]
In traditional homes, the blessing is said in the Hebrew language. This is a Simple English translation of the blessing.[5] Words in italics like this are added to explain the Hebrew.
Kiddush at the morning (or noon) Shabbat meal[change | change source]
There is a different version of Kiddush for the Shabbat morning (or noon) meal. This ceremony makes the meal feel more special.
For the morning Kiddush, a person says verses from the Torah about Shabbat. These verses are usually from Exodus 31:16-17 and Exodus 20:7-10. The person ends with the same blessing over the wine:[6]
Kiddush at the third Shabbat meal[change | change source]
Most Jews do not say Kiddush at the third Shabbat meal.[7] However, Maimonides ruled that they should do so.[8] The text for this Kiddush includes Exodus 16:25. That verse is the source of the law to have three meals on Shabbat.
Kiddush in the synagogue[change | change source]
Kiddush is also said in the synagogue. This does not replace saying Kiddush at home before the meal.[9]
Evening Kiddush. In many synagogues, Kiddush is said at the end of Friday evening prayers. This has been done since the Middle Ages. At that time, people who were traveling often ate and slept at the synagogue on Shabbat. Kiddush was said in the synagogue before they ate their Friday night Shabbat meal.[9] In modern times, Kiddush is still said in the synagogue Friday night. This is done even if a meal is not served in the synagogue that night. [9]
Morning Kiddush. In almost all synagogues, a snack or light meal is served after Saturday morning prayers. This meal is called "Kiddush", because it starts with the morning Kiddush. There are two reasons for this snack or meal:
It is not allowed to eat before morning prayers,[10] but Shabbat morning prayers are long. People are hungry by the end of them.
People are not allowed to fast on Shabbat, even for a half-day.[11] This snack or meal helps people have some food before noon if prayers are long.
Kiddush on important Jewish holidays[change | change source]
Kiddush is said on these Jewish holidays:
Passover (first and last days)
Sukkot (first day[s])
Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah
The holiday texts are different from the Shabbat texts.[12] The blessings are said in the same way and at the same time of day as on Shabbat, but there are two differences:
On the first night(s) of Passover, Kiddush is not said in the synagogue. Kiddush is said at home those nights over the first of four cups of wine at the Seder.
On the fast of Yom Kippur, Kiddush is not said, even on Shabbat. This is because eating and drinking are not allowed. The law about "celebrating" Shabbat is satisfied by the evening prayers that night.
The Kiddush cup[change | change source]
Jews usually use a fancy cup for Kiddush. The most common material for this cup is silver. Other materials are also used. These include ceramic, glass and wood. The most important part of the custom is for the cup to be special and unusual in honor of the blessing.

In Khakassia, Mother And Grandmother Beat Children For Any Prank
Video: In Khakassia, Mother And Grandmother Beat Children For Any Prank
Video: BAD PARENT PRANK! 2023, January
"It became known about the torture of children from the media. In the village of Tuim, Shirinsky district, where the family lives, six minors were regularly subjected to domestic violence by their mother and grandmother,"said the press service of the Investigative Department of the RF IC for the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia. In addition, children were not only brought up in unfavorable conditions, but children were also forbidden to move normally. It is noteworthy that the family is registered with the authorities of the system for the prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency, but the guardianship authorities did not take any action. The torture of young children became known from the "Male and Female" program on Channel One. The plot tells about a child who runs half-naked down the street in cold weather. Subsequently, it turned out that the girls are younger brothers and sisters, many of whom resemble Mowgli. The mother of the kids left them in the care of their grandmother, who is not coping with her duties. The Investigation Department told the FederalPress correspondent that a criminal case was opened on this fact. "During the investigation, a legal assessment of the activities of the bodies of the prevention system will be given. The investigation of the criminal case continues,"the press service said. Earlier, FederalPress reported that due to the introduced self-isolation regime, in which the majority of Russians are forced to remain, psychologists began to record a sharp increase in cases of domestic violence, including against the elderly and children, as well as a significant increase in the number of people using telephone hotlines. with suicidal conditions.

It is with much excitement that I would like to announce some major news for the Broker Public Portal project! We have been researching the value of consumer property search sites like the Broker Public Portal since 2005 and we're thrilled to announce a game-changing opportunity for agents and brokers to captivate consumers!
Broker Public Portal has executed a binding letter of intent with Homesnap, a creator of highly rated apps for consumers and agents, to launch a national home search experience defined by simplicity, integrity and common sense. The program will be marketed under the Homesnap brand. Homesnap is already the top-rated real estate app for consumers, and Homesnap Pro is already the leading mobile app for real estate pros.
So what is the Broker Public Portal?
It is an initiative that was formed by an unprecedented partnership between 115 MLSs and real estate companies, including franchisors, independent brands, big brokers, and small brokers, operating in diverse markets across the country and collectively representing over 500,000 real estate agents.
The goal of this project is to provide consumers with a simple, easy to use, mobile-first solution to get real-time data directly from REALTORS themselves. In essence, the Broker Public Portal operates very much like a local MLS Consumer-facing website, but is a nationwide collaboration. We have learned from our years of research about MLS Consumer Websites that consumers really like these sites because they are unbiased, simple and allow them to connect directly to the brokerage and listing agent that is MOST familiar with the property. The consumers that use these sites are not looky-loos. They are the more serious buyer that is further down the sales funnel and serious about buying or selling a home.
Connecticut Multiple Listing Service (CTMLS), representing more than 10,700 real estate agents and brokers across Connecticut.
Northstar MLS, representing more than 16,300 real estate agents and brokers in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.
Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors®, (BNAR), representing more than 3,000 real estate agents and brokers in Western New York.
We hear that more MLSs are expected to follow immediately.
Why Homesnap as a Partner?
We had the pleasure of working with Homesnap in their early days when they launched their program with MRIS, one of the largest MLSs in the country. We watched adoption and usage explode quickly, well beyond any type of engagement we had witnessed with earlier mobile search solutions. What was the secret to this adoption? Homesnap architected their entire solution to clearly put REALTORS at the center of the process. Unlike other third party apps that are designed to generate ad revenues, Homesnap has always been aligned with the industry providing a consumer portal that directly connects agents to their clients.
Why did 115 MLSs and Brokerage Support this?
The National Association of REALTORS® clarified that consumer search sites like the BPP are a core service of the MLS so if some MLSs would like to offer the BPP as part of their regular subscription fees they are free to. Now MLSs can offer valuable local search solutions combined with a valuable national real estate source resource if they so choose.
Why do Brokers like BPP?
It is very exciting to see how Brokers and Franchises have lined up in support of the Broker Public Portal.
Our industry has been riddled with conflict between MLSs and Brokers over the years. I have to say that WAV Group is proud to have been the facilitator of the process that led to this historic moment today. It is awe-inspiring to watch some of the best and brightest brokers and MLS leaders get together on this project and put individual differences aside to make it happen. There are strong trust relationships building that I believe are going to help our industry well beyond even this exciting endeavor!
We can't wait to tell you more about this exciting project as more news becomes available!

A: Simple sieve may not run in the given time limit. At least it didn't for me. The better approach is segmented sieve. Here are few links that may help you:
stackoverflow
primesieve
I used the second link to understand and solve the question. But the first link also has a good explanation.
Go through both of them and you should be able to solve the problem.
Happy Coding!
P.S: You seem to be using Scanner for reading input. It will be very slow. Use BufferedReader to speed up the reading of inputs. In websites like SPOJ, it is very crucial.

A: Only reason is just JVM should have enough space to store new boolean[total + 1] about 4Gb:
public static void main(String... args) {
    boolean[] primes = primes(1_000_000_000);

    try (Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in)) {
        int n = scan.nextInt();

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            int from = scan.nextInt();
            int to = scan.nextInt();

            for (int j = from; j <= to; j++)
                if (primes[j])
                    System.out.println(j);

            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

private static boolean[] primes(int total) {
    // initially assume all integers are primes
    boolean[] primes = new boolean[total + 1];
    Arrays.fill(primes, true);
    primes[0] = false;
    primes[1] = false;

    // mark non-primes <= total using Sieve of Eratosthenes
    for (int i = 2; i * i <= total; i++) {
        // if i is primes, then mark multiples of i as nonprime
        // suffices to consider mutiples i, i+1, ...,  total/i
        if (!primes[i])
            continue;
        for (int j = i; i * j <= total; j++)

BBC RADIO 4 COMMISSION THE REST IS HISTORY, A BRAND NEW SIX-PART COMEDY PANEL SHOW CREATED AND HOSTED BY FRANK SKINNER
DOWNLOAD PRESS PACK
It was announced today (Wednesday 26th February 2014) that FRANK SKINNER has created and will present a brand-new, six-part comedy discussion show with Avalon Television, The Rest is History, For BBC Radio 4.
FRANK SKINNER loves history, but just doesn't know much of it, so he's devised The Rest Is History, a brand new comedy discussion show, in order to find out more about it.
