Of all the hats I wear, there are a few I wear with particular honor. As a dedicated husband, proud father, passionate photographer, and ambitious adventurer, I feel enveloped by gratitude in so many aspects of my life. And although my work as a photographer has lead me to some remarkable places, the silver thread to every experience has always been people.
For me, there is no aspect of photography more challenging or rewarding than capturing the spirit of someone and their natural expression, especially when they're surrounded by the ones they love. Weddings put that authenticity on full display. From love drenched glances shared as vows are spoken to buoyant laugher between family and friends, and even the occasional gorgeous ugly cry of joy. There is so much inspiration found in the loving nature of people and bringing those details together to tell the immense story of a wedding day feels new every time.
My full intention is to offer more than just photography. I am passionate about what I do and the people I work with. Connecting with you on a personal level allows me to go above and beyond with my work and the level of service I provide. My photography and approach may both have an easy feel, but I don't take the responsibility of documenting your day lightly. After all, weddings are more than just the meeting of two paths. They mark the beginning of a family; your family.
I'd love to hear about you, your story and how your dream wedding looks. So get in touch, or stop by the studio. No need to be strangers.
If you'd like to know how past clients feel, reviews can be found on The Knot and Wedding Wire.
I am based between Miami & New York and am happy to travel both domestically and abroad.
Color Color is a cornerstone to my style. I see life with incredible vibrancy and believe color is the perfect partner to visually amplify the power of relationships.
Approach Authentic and effortlessly editorial portraiture. I shoot with a photojournalistic approach to document everything from the big marquee moments to tender fleeting interactions.
Story Every connection is unique and nuanced. My priority is to bring out and document those details so your story gets the authentic and intimate telling it deserves.
I am a husband, a father, a photographer, and an adventurer. I have been lucky enough in my travels to photograph some incredible sights, but my favorite subject has always been people. People inspire awe simply through their being, what they do, and how they do things.
There is no aspect of photography more challenging or rewarding than capturing the true spirit of a person. My love of photography is fueled by my desire to capture the nature of humanity, interpersonal relationships, and emotion. There is no environment more rich in these elements than a wedding. A wedding is a convergence of two paths: unfolding through a series of moments, interactions, and emotions. My goal is to put those moments together to tell one single important story that will be shared between a couple and their family for lifetimes.
I tell stories in documentary form. I photograph weddings candidly as they unfold naturally, allowing couples to enjoy the sights, sounds and feelings as they occur. My portraits mix naturalism, context, and creativity to express the power of people.
Get in touch. Stop by the studio. I would love to hear a bit more about your story and talk a little bit about life, love, and adventure.
Some reviews and words by the people we have been lucky enough to work with can be found on Wedding Wire or The Knot.

Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths
Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths by Shigeru Mizuki, translated by Zack Davisson / ISBN 9781770466302 / 372-page paperback published by Drawn & Quarterly
The book that brought pre-eminent Manga-ka Shigeru Mizuki to the English-speaking world
Kokopo, 1943. A platoon of soldiers is ordered into battle. The objective is death. The alternative is certain execution as a consequence of survival. Inspired by Eisner Award-winning author Shigeru Mizuki's own mandatory tour of duty as an active combatant in the Imperial Japanese Army, Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths portrays a flailing infantry unit on its last legs near the end of the Second World War.
This deeply personal and landmark anti-war work could only have been made by a pacifist. The desperation and moral depravity on display is devastating. Mizuki's fanciful characters must make do against a photo-realistic backdrop teeming with tropical life that remains inhospitable. Indeed, commanding officers prove even more ferocious than the wild unknown of Papua New Guinea. And yet the human instinct endures, seeing through the absurdity of such a rigid and outdated command structure with gallows humor.
Born March 8, 1922 in Sakaiminato, Tottori, Japan, Shigeru Mizuki is a specialist in stories of yokai and is considered a master of the genre. He is a member of the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology, and has traveled to more than sixty countries around the world to engage in fieldwork on the yokai and spirits of different cultures. He has been published in Japan, South Korea, France, Spain, Taiwan, and Italy. His award-winning works include Kitaro, Nonnonba, and Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths. Mizuki's four-part autobiography and historical portrait Showa: A History of Japan won an Eisner Award in 2015.

'I leave with my heart full and head held high': A senior exec at trading technology firm ITG is out
Frank Chaparro
Jamie Selway, formerly US head of execution services at ITG, announced his departure from the company.
"I leave with my heart full and head held high," Selway said in a tweet.
A senior executive at trading technology firm Investment Technology Group (ITG) has left after more than seven years with the company.
Jamie Selway, formerly ITG's US head of execution services, announced his departure on Friday in a tweet, saying "I leave with my heart full and head held high."
"To clients, industry colleagues, and friends, I wish you well - and will see you soon," he added.
An ITG spokesperson confirmed that Selway left the firm.
Selway, who joined ITG in 2010, was reportedly a contender to lead the division of the Securities and Exchange Commission overseeing market structure. Brett Redfearn, previously head of market structure at JPMorgan, was tapped for that position in November, Business Insider previously reported.
Prior to joining ITG, Selway cofounded White Cap Trading, an agency broker, in 2003. He also served on the board of directors at Bats, the exchange-operator acquired by Cboe, from 2008 to 2015.
Selway was featured in Institutional Investors' 2015 and 2014 Trading Technology 40 list. Selway, according to II, built "a career around what he terms 'applied market structure' and, for himself, a reputation as one of the leading interpreters of 'dense, esoteric material,' important to the investment community."
ITG provides trading technologies to brokers and asset managers, reaching clients in 50 countries, according to its website.
In 2015, the company paid a more than $20 million settlement to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The regulator accused ITG of betting against clients, despite having said it would not do so, in a pilot program known as "Project Omega."
Selway, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, brought evidence of another executive's involvement in the program to internal company lawyers in 2010. Outside lawyers were later brought in to review the program.
Robert Gasser, who was chief executive of the company from 2006 to 2015, was fired after the external investigation found he kept information from ITG's board, the Journal reported.

The history of forestry in the United States followed the same path as forestry in Europe—land clearing, repeated burning, overcutting, and overgrazing—until a bill was passed by Congress in 1891 authorizing the president to set apart from the public domain reserves of forested land. In 1905 an act of Congress, with strong encouragement from President Theodore Roosevelt, transferred the Bureau of Forestry from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. Gifford Pinchot, who had been chief of the bureau, was made chief of the newly named Forest Service. Pinchot developed the U.S. Forest Service into a federal agency that today is recognized worldwide for its research, education, and land and forest management expertise. On the state level the Morrill Act of 1862 provided for federal–state cooperative programs in which the federal government granted first land, then money, to the states for the establishment of technical agricultural colleges. The Weeks Act of 1911 authorized the federal government to assist the states in protecting forests from fire, and the Clark-McNary Act of 1924 extended the provisions of the Weeks Act to include cooperation in forest extension, planting, and assistance to forest owners. During the Great Depression of the 1930s the interests of forestry were served most imaginatively and thoroughly by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which planted trees, fought forest fires, and improved access to woodlands across the United States. The CCC, rooted in the system of public works initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, continued until 1942, acquainting many people with forestry as a major government activity.
The complete mobilization of resources for the U.S. involvement in World Wars I and II and the pent-up demand for consumer goods made heavy demands on forest resources and industries. As a result, forestry on a national basis entered a period of the most rapid advance since the turn of the century. This time the advance was stimulated by the need for forest products and by the conviction on the part of the major timber companies that they must protect their raw material supply. To protect the forests from growing pressure from single-interest groups, Congress passed the Multiple Use–Sustained Yield Act of 1960. This act directed that the national forests be managed under principles of multiple use so as to produce a sustained yield of products and services. The Bureau of Outdoor Recreation was established shortly thereafter in the Department of the Interior. The Land and Water Conservation Fund, established in 1964, launched a comprehensive program for planning and developing outdoor recreation facilities. State forestry programs had their beginnings in the United States during colonial times, but it was the Weeks and Clark–McNary laws that provided the impetus to develop recognized state forestry departments. The Smith–Lever Act of 1914 allotted funds through the state agricultural colleges for extension work in forestry. Initial programs emphasized tree planting and demonstrations, but today all aspects of forestry and natural and related resources are included.
Industrial forestry began around 1912 when Finch, Pruyn, and Company started a forestry program on its Adirondack holding in New York. Trees to be cut were marked by foresters, and the cutting budget was projected on a sustained-yield basis. A rapid expansion of company forestry programs in the northeastern United States began in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Following World War II, paper companies expanded rapidly throughout the South and West and to a lesser extent in the Northeast. Pulp and paper companies were quick to recognize the benefits to be realized from research financed by the Forest Service and by universities in such fields as dendrology, tree physiology, entomology, genetics, and tree improvement. A few companies established their own experimental forests and research teams.
The cause of forestry in the United States also has been advanced by citizens' organizations. These vary from lay and youth organizations, such as the Boy Scouts and garden clubs, to environmental nongovernmental organizations and to the nation's most prestigious scientific societies. The American Association for the Advancement of Science stimulated Congress in 1876 to embark on a sustained federal forestry program. The National Academy of Sciences 1896 report on forest reserves began its long involvement in forest conservation. The Society of American Foresters, founded in 1900, together with its sister societies in Canada and Mexico, represents the profession of forestry in North America.
Botanically, forest trees fall into two main groups, the gymnosperms (conifers and other cone-bearing plants) and the angiosperms (flowering plants). The gymnosperms consist exclusively of trees and woody shrubs, whereas the angiosperms are a diverse group of plants that include trees and shrubs as well as grasses and herbaceous plants.
The gymnosperms are of very ancient lineage and include the earliest trees on the evolutionary scale. The seeds of gymnosperms are borne in cones, where they develop naked or exposed on the upper surface of the cone scales. The wood of these trees has a simple structure. Many species are extinct and are known only as fossils. The ginkgo, or maidenhair tree, is the sole survivor of an entire order of gymnosperms, the Ginkgoales. Among the gymnosperms, the most important and numerous forest trees are the conifers, also known as softwoods. This group includes the well-known pines, spruces, firs, cedars, junipers, hemlocks, and sequoias. These species are so dominant that forests of gymnosperm trees are typically called coniferous forests. Except for the ginkgo, larches, and bald cypress, all gymnosperms are evergreen.

The SwiftCarb XT120075701CTC0M RampMill is the fastest way to machine steel and exotic metals with a 12mm diameter tool. Used with trochoidal and Controlled Engagement Tool Paths, it achieves much higher material removal rates than standard solid carbide tools. By ramping up to NINE times greater angles than a standard end mill, the RampMill reaches the bottom of the pocket much faster. Entering the center of the pocket optimizes the cutter path, and reduces time spent retracting & re-entering the material, to drastically reduce cycle times.
Truncated radius adds corner strength and avoids the wear points of a traditional radius.


In this wreck, the driver suffered a head injury. Head injuries are common in serious crashes as a driver will often hit their head on the steering wheel as a result of the force of the collision. A head injury is extremely serious and has an uncertain prognosis as they tend to linger for months or even years after a crash.

Acosta Says Epstein Deal Was in a "Different World" — But His Labor Department Still Makes Trafficking Victims Suffer
Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta holds a press conference at the U.S. Department of Labor on July 10, 2019 in Washington, D.C.

"We live in a very different world," said Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta on Wednesday, when asked whether he would make the same agreement with accused child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein today as he did 11 years ago. In 2008, Acosta, then a U.S. attorney in Miami, signed off on a sweetheart non-prosecution deal with Epstein, the superrich money manager accused of sexually abusing and exploiting dozens of underage girls. As reports by the Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown over the last year made clear, the current labor secretary played a major role in letting a serial predator walk free, with barely a slap on the wrist.
Acosta gave the Wednesday press conference in an effort to quiet mounting calls for his resignation following Epstein's arrest in New York on sex trafficking charges last week. Acosta made no gesture of apology to Epstein's many victims, but claimed that the extremely lenient treatment afforded to the rich and powerful figure was a reflection of justice in the pre-#MeToo era. "Today's world treats victims very, very differently," said Acosta, who did not consult Epstein's victims before signing off on the 2008 deal, a violation of a federal law governing plea deals.
Acosta's attempted defense — that it was a different time — is galling on many levels.
Even in Acosta's "very different world" of a decade ago, the leniency accorded Epstein was uncommon. The deal Epstein got was even an aberration among the other sex trafficking cases Acosta's own office handled. One man was sentenced in 2007 to 30 years in prison for trafficking a minor; two other men that year received prison sentences, and unlike in Epstein's case, "neither of the cases involved dozens of victims," CNN reported.
The labor secretary's attempted defense — that it was a different time — is galling on many levels. For one, despite the notable gains made for victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse in the last decade, rape and sexual assault remain dramatically underreported and mishandled by the criminal justice system. The long overdue felling of a number of powerful media figures through #MeToo revelations has not put an end to impunity enjoyed by powerful predators, nor the shaming and silencing endured by their victims. Donald Trump is in the White House, after all, and Brett Kavanaugh sits on the Supreme Court.
For Acosta himself to suggest that times have changed for sexual violence victims is particularly vile because the Department of Labor, under his watch, has spent the last year undoing already scant protections for some of the most vulnerable victims of sex trafficking, as well as the U.S.'s flawed anti-trafficking policies.
Through his Labor Department's policies, Acosta has continued to ensure that those vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation are made more vulnerable still.
The extensive perpetuation of Epstein and his friends' crimes was made possible by virtue of the vast power differential between the perpetrators and their victims. Through his Labor Department's policies, Acosta has continued to ensure that those vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation are made more vulnerable still.
Earlier this year, Acosta proposed that the Labor Department cut 80 percent of the funding to a program dedicated to combating human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor. The cuts, proposed for the 2020 fiscal year, would slash the budget of the International Labor Affairs Bureau, which prepares reports on child labor and trafficking, but also provides funding to nongovernmental groups in foreign countries working toward nipping child labor and sex trafficking at the bud. At his Wednesday press conference, when asked about the proposed cuts, Acosta defended them by stating that the money went to grants "for foreign countries."
At the same time, and perhaps more cruel still, the Department of Labor decided to place a moratorium on special visa certifications offered by the agency to human trafficking and extreme labor-abuse victims. Since 2015, the Department of Labor has directly granted visa certifications, attesting to a victim's allegations and their willingness to comply with law enforcement cases against their traffickers and abusive employers.
As of July 1, victims will have to appeal to a separate criminal law enforcement agency, like the FBI, to validate their claims before the Labor Department will agree to the certification. Given federal and state law enforcement's tendency to treat sex trafficking victims, as well as consensual sex workers, as criminals themselves, the suggestion that these agencies are best equipped to verify victims' claims is troubling. (In discussions of trafficking, it's always worth noting the purported prosecution of sex traffickers has, time and time again, been used to ensnare consensual sex workers and their communities, rendering these workers ever more vulnerable to violence and trafficking.)
Furthermore, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services last year began deporting individuals who have been denied trafficking visas. This, together with the Labor Department's new policy, risks a chilling effect on those undocumented immigrants who would speak out against their traffickers.
"Don't we want criminal prosecutors to be consulted whenever someone says that they are a victim of trafficking?" Acosta replied on Wednesday, when pressed on his department's new, harsher visa policy. His words betrayed, once again, a profound disregard for the lives of victims. When someone says they are a victim of trafficking, the most important first step should be to provide that person the means and the security to escape their situation. Exposure to higher risks of deportation and criminalization, as the new Department of Labor policy ensures, are not the responses trafficking victims need.
If Acosta has proven himself consistent between today and his "very different world" of 11 years ago, it is in his disregard for trafficking and abuse victims.

Q: CUPS Browsed only finds few printers, setting server directly finds all I use my own laptop at work. They have a CUPS server at cups.example.org which one can just use. So if I did not have a printer at home, one would just add this into /etc/cups/client.conf:
ServerName cups.example.org

When I do this, it does not lag when opening a print dialog and I can see all the printers in the institute.
Now I have a printer at home, so I want to use the institute CUPS server additionally. The IT wiki states to use CUPS browsed instead. So I have the following (among other default stuff) in my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
BrowsePoll cups.example.org
BrowseProtocols CUPS

This somewhat works. Sometimes opening a print dialog in a PDF viewer will cause the whole application to freeze. Other times I see my personal printers and also a single of the institute printers, but not all of them, and especially not the one on my floor.
I have looked into the system log, but did not find anything interesting in particular.
What can I do to diagnose this issue?
My system is Fedora 26.

The Chief Executive of St. Andrew's Hospice has paid tribute to the hospice staff, who he says are "making extraordinary efforts through what are extremely difficult and stressful times for everyone."
Bruce High, said today: "Even in these uncertain times, we remain completely committed to providing care and support to the people of Lanarkshire. Our specialist team is working hard to continue to provide the highest standard of care to patients staying in our inpatient unit.
"Whilst our Wellbeing and Outpatient Services are suspended for the time being, the team have put non face-to-face support in place for those who are most vulnerable. As well as providing telephone advice and support, the team are also making resources such as regular Tai Chi exercise videos and mindfulness recordings available online for patients to access. Similarly our Compassionate Lanarkshire (CLAN) team are maintaining contact with clients via phone and our Complementary Therapists are even providing telephone Reiki! Our Patient & Family Support Team are also providing spiritual and bereavement support via telephone. People can self-refer for this service here."
St Andrew's Hospice has been working closely with NHS Lanarkshire and in a statement released on Friday 27th March, Craig Cunningham, Head of Commissioning and Performance, South Lanarkshire Health & Social Care Partnership announced: "During this critical time, St Andrew's Hospice will accept all acute hospice inpatient admissions for the whole of Lanarkshire."
In addition, some of the Palliative Care medical staff who are normally based at the hospice are instead basing themselves at the three acute hospitals in Lanarkshire and in the community so that they can continue to provide expert advice and support across hospital and community settings as well as the hospice.
Bruce High added: "We are currently living in unprecedented times which are requiring extraordinary efforts from all of our staff. The response from St. Andrew's staff so far has been nothing short of amazing. I am extremely proud of their dedication to their work and how everyone has adapted and pulled together in this ongoing crisis. As a team, we will continue to support our patients and their loved ones as well as we possibly can and together we will weather this storm.
"You may have seen that we have had to cancel or postpone much of our fundraising activity and close our shops. This will inevitably lead to a large loss of income. Please do keep up-to-date about changes to our fundraising events on our website and social media channels."

Thank you for your support and stay safe.
The priority of St Andrew's Hospice is always to protect the wellbeing of our patients, visitors, volunteers, staff and the wider community. With this in mind, we have taken the decision to temporarily close all of our retail outlets, effective from 4pm on 20th March 2020 until further notice.
This decision has been made following guidance from the Scottish Government and we want to assure our volunteers and staff that these measures will be reviewed on a regular basis.
We would like to say a special thanks to the wonderful volunteers who go above and beyond to serve the people of Lanarkshire and to our lovely customers for your continued support.

News Analysis: Man's Actions Have Made the Consequences of the West's 'Mega-Drought' Much Worse
Written by Paul VanDevelder
Rationing of Colorado River water is in the works.
As all eyes in the West turn to the skies for relief from 14 years of "mega-drought," as Gov. Jerry Brown put it when he declared a drought emergency in January, this is as good of a time as any for those of us in the West to ask: "How did we get caught between a rock and a dry place, and what, if anything, can we do about it now?"
To answer that question, we have to go back to the boom-boom years of America's dam-building. No politician in the West was a bigger believer in the transformative power of impounded water than Arizona's favorite son, Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was the Bureau of Reclamation's biggest booster in Congress when the agency proposed mind-boggling water projects to tame the mighty Colorado River.
Never mind that the Hoover Commission, in a report commissioned by Congress, warned in 1951 that the Bureau of Reclamation would bankrupt the nation with senseless dams and irrigation projects, while holding future generations of Americans hostage to unpaid bills and unintended consequences.
At a time when Goldwater and the Bureau of Reclamation were enjoying a Golden Age of water projects, their chief nemesis was an environmental crusader named David Brower. Brower, president of the Sierra Club and founder of the Earth Island Institute, single-handedly led the fight against building Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. And lost. He called that defeat "the darkest day of my life."
Time and old age have a way of bringing people to their senses. Toward the end of his life, Goldwater took political positions that left most of his libertarian allies scratching their heads in bewilderment. Is Barry going senile? Did somebody poison his soup?
No, Goldwater's public epiphany came about when PBS aired Cadillac Desert, a series based on Marc Reisner's eponymous book. In the third episode, when Goldwater and Reisner were discussing the adjudication of the Colorado River, the silver-haired Goldwater looked out across the sprawling megalopolis of Phoenix and asked, "What have we done to this beautiful desert, our wild rivers? All that dam-building on the Colorado, across the West, was a big mistake. What in the world were we thinking?"
That admission reverberated across the high mesas of the Southwest like summer thunder. A few months later, when Brower and I talked over lunch, I asked him, "What did you do when Goldwater said it was all a big mistake?"
He cackled and then let out an expletive. "I reached for the phone and called (Goldwater), and I said, Barry, let's do the right thing: Help me take out Glen Canyon Dam. He said he would! Then he died a few months later."
Brower died a few months after that.
Taking out Glen Canyon Dam would not have altered today's water crisis in the Southwest, but it would have made a resounding statement. It would have said: "Wild rivers rock." It would have said, "We should have left well enough alone."
We can't go back to that America any more than we can return to the days before the Civil War, or to the Indian Wars, and fix things. We're stuck with the aftermath of those decisions, many of them poorly informed, unwise or downright bad. And, sadly, as the Hoover Commission warned 63 years ago, the consequences will be with us for generations to come.
The Colorado River, though, is a special case. It has always been a special case—now more than ever. The drought that grips the Southwest today is the worst in 1,250 years, say some experts, and it shows no sign of releasing its grip. No doubt, the region's leaders despair over vanishing options. The Bureau of Reclamation has announced it may start rationing water to downstream states by 2015. And no climate model is predicting rain.
What in the world were we thinking?

It's been a week of petty failures for me. Cute W was gone all week (back now, thank you-thank you-thank you), and every time I thought I had running the household well in hand, I realized that I didn't.
On Wednesday, we had J's piano practice at Mary's, homework for both girls, and J's gymnastics, which is a freaking hike away from us. I was dreading the piano practice because J's been miserable with her practice lately, and M and I were dreading gymnastics, because since Cute W wasn't around, M was going to have to come along and be bored-bored-bored. So when J had a cheerful and successful practice, everyone completed homework, & I secured a friend to host M so that she could avoid gymnastics, I was feeling pretty pleased with myself. Until I realized, hours later, that I'd blown off my CSA pick up completely. Ugh.
Yesterday I was doing a bedding overhaul, pulling out the warm blankets, washing sheets, and switching out my spring/summer duvet for my fall/winter comforter. So everything was clean and fresh, and then I realized that I didn't know where my comforter was. Like, at all. It's a huge comforter in a small house. Where could I have put it? So irritating. I went to bed without it. Overnight I remembered: it was in the upper loft area of our garage. It's too big to hide in a closet. I put it on a couple of hours ago, then stood back, satisfied. And realized that I'd forgotten to switch the dust ruffle.
This morning? Also poor. J woke up at 4 am and had trouble falling asleep, which meant when we finally went back to sleep, we slept in. I'm never strong in the morning, but I managed to get the breakfasts & lunches and tied bells to J's shoes so that she could be the Fine Lady Upon a White Horse for nursery rhyme day, and got them out the door. Then I managed to make and almost eat my breakfast before rushing off to the school library to volunteer for M's class. Again, feeling slightly impressed with myself that I'd been so patient with a whiny J and that I'd incorporated 5 different fruits & vegetables into the girls' food. But as soon as I saw M in the library, I knew something wasn't okay. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I forgot my cello–but don't go get it," she answered, miserable. The night before at Back to School Night, we'd listened to M's teacher talking about how one of the big goals of 4th grade is getting the kids to take responsibility for themselves, so we shouldn't help them by driving in forgotten homework or instruments or hats. And we parents smiled along, agreeing in theory, even as one or two snuck spelling notebooks home for a final pre-test review. The good thing is that the teacher has the kids on board, so M knew it was her own fault that she didn't have her cello. And I knew, too, in theory. But really, it feels like my fault. In fact, I had a half-weepy essay written in my head while doing errands, but I just don't have the energy.
So how's everyone else doing with their new school routines? Better than I am, I hope!
Ok, the fact that you got your 6 year old to dress up as anything other than "Jill" today means you reeeaaalllllyy did not fail. Not at all. I couldn't even get my "Jill" to stick a bandaid on her head… and was told by her "I'm my own person, mom." Oh boy.
Oh, but Maggie! "I'm my own person, mom."—I love that! I can see it would be irritating getting dressed, though. . . .
I hope there is a glass of red in your very near future.
How sad is this? I gave blood and wasn't allowed any alcohol. Made up for it Saturday.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning | All Building Cleaning Corp. Commercial Carpet Cleaning | All Building Cleaning Corp.
First impressions count when it comes to the cleanliness of your building so you want the best carpet cleaning solution. If customers or prospective employees walk into your office and see dirty carpet, it creates a negative impression of your business.
In order to keep up the appearance of your building and keep your carpet from becoming damaged prematurely, we recommend you clean the carpet at least once per year; sometimes more, depending on traffic.
At All Building Cleaners we take certified courses through IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), and continue to train our carpet cleaning technicians with on the job-hands on and DVD training as well as seminars, which means you can rest assured your carpet is in good hands. As part of our cleaning proposal, we will make recommendations on the frequency and type of carpet cleaning your carpet should receive.
Hot water extraction carpet cleaning is recommended. Other types of carpet cleaning (like dry chemical cleaning) may void the warranty. For most office buildings we recommend hot water extraction carpet cleaning once per year. Hot Water Extraction is commonly known as steam cleaning and it is a method used in chemistry for extraction and pressurized hot water extraction. It is a process uses a combination of high water pressure for agitation, and hot water to increase reaction rate.
Bonnet carpet cleaning is interim cleaning, which will keep your carpets looking fresh and clean throughout the year. Bonnet cleaning is a minimum moisture carpet cleaning method. Bonnet cleaning essentially consists of cotton, rayon and/or polypropylene pad and a rotary shampoo machine. It is among the easiest carpet cleaning methods to learn. Primarily there are three procedures for using the bonnet method.
The first procedure involves spraying a detergent solution onto the carpet. The second procedure used in the bonnet method involves the use of a rotary shampoo machine and a moistened rayon, cotton, and/or polypropylene pad. This pad is attached to the rotary machine. The rotating pad is used to agitate and aid in suspension of soils. The third is to thoroughly vacuum the carpet once it is dry, removing any remaining soils. We usually recommend bonnet carpet cleaning of traffic lanes six months after hot water extraction.
Encapsulation carpet cleaning is another type of interim cleaning, which we may recommend depending on your situation. Encapsulation carpet cleaning is essentially dry carpet cleaning and entails the use if specialized machines. Recently developed chemical technologies permit no-moisture or very low moisture cleaning, resulting in carpet beautification, and removal of stains, dirt, grit, sand, and allergens.
Clean carpets are recognized as being more visually pleasing, potentially longer lasting and healthier than poorly maintained carpets.


Fundamental need to worship Islam is a mosque and a minaret. The simplest form of a mosque and a minaret shapes a compact volume. With distinct proportions of 26 x 26 x 52 meters (equivalent to 1n x 1n x 2n), Daniel Andersson (FIN) & Christiane Flügel(GER), created a typical mosque layout in a vertical direction. Starting at entry level with lively public spaces and elevating up through a spiritual garden to the top where a quiet prayer room is located. The minaret is located on the roof with visual and verbal access to all directions. Vertical lines in the facade emit an expression of self confidence. Inside the building, the lines create a playful and harmonic rhythm between light and shadow.
At ground level there is a lively market in an open spacious entry hall. Information center and back office are located on balcony level above. An open planned library / auditorium hall with 2 study rooms are located on the levels above. An interior garden level is located in the middle of the building. Here is a coffee place and wild vegetation combined with small water pond. A silent waterfall is forming a translucent surface outside of the balconies above. A stair along the facade connects garden level with the main ablution facilities. On the balcony, the waterfall drops from a water pond integrated in balcony railing. This water pond is also possible to use for ablution. The levels in between holds apartments with private balconies for visiting prayers. The prayer room is located high up in the building and has 3 balconies. The prayer room can hold up to 800 prayers at the same time. Above the prayer room, at roof level is an open outdoor space where minaret ceremony can be hold.
The Mosque has a tube-frame structural system made of reinforced concrete, for the exterior walls, with floors supported by structural steel beams connected to the exterior walls for stability reasons. The facade finish is made in glossy golden sheets with joint-less seams connected to vertical glass elements between whilst the interior finish is made with solid white sheet materials creating a monolithic and impress-less space. There is a vertical shaft containing elevators and technical installations which absorbs the shear forces of the building.

FC Barcelona history
HISTORY OF FC BARCELONA
In the late 90s' of the 19th cenutry Swiss business men Hans (Joan) Gamper and his ten friends (Gualteri Wild, LluÃ*s d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terrados, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Carles Pujol, Josep Llobet, John Parsons and William Parsons) founded FC Barcelona. The exact date of foundation is the 29th November 1889.
Who was Hans (Joan) Gamper?
He was born in Winterthur, Switzerland on November 22, 1877. He was the eldest son born to August and Rosine Emma Gamper. Even as a young boy he showed great interest in sports especially for football,rugby,tennis and golf. He started his career in Fc Basel and was named club captain but then he moved first to France and in 1898 he went to Barcelona to visit his uncle. In 1899 he put a note in a local newspaper, trying to attract as many football players as possible to join the club; and just one monthe later he and his friends assembled at the historic gathering at the Gimnas Sole. The meeting was successful and the club was established and Englishman Gualteri Wild became the first President with Gamper as the first captain of the club.
Gualteri Wild:
First team from 1901:
Symbols and kits through the course of history
First club symbol was the same as the town symbol:
In 1906 the club organized competition to chose the first club symbol which has changed through the course of history only in the period of Franco's regime (the club was called Club de Futbol Barcelona which can be seen on the symbol as well).
The club symbol represents the Cross of Saint Jordi – the patron saint of Barcelona; flag of Catalunia Senyera (national flag with 4 red lines on the golden background) and blue-red colour combination which Gamper took over from Fc Basel.
The first kit
From the start, the players wore the famous blue and claret colours, half the shirt one colour and half the other with the sleeves the opposite colour and white shorts.

The first match
In their first ever match, Barca played a team made up of English expatriates in Bonanova (now known as Turo Park). The English team, which actually included a number of Barca players, won 1-0. After the defeat moved several times from Bonanova to Casanova, Camp del Horta and Muntaner. In 1909 the club dwelled at stadium Industria which was the first field as the property of the club. The stadium capacity: 6000 spectators. Fc Barcelona played there for another 13 years.
On 20, May 1922 Barca inaugurate their new stadium which was pretty modern for those times. At the begining the stadium received 30000 spectators and was later expanded to the capacity of 60000 viewers. Fc Barcelona played at Les Corts for 35 years.
Cule. The etymological meaning of this word derives from the word cul which means literally arse in Catalan (pronounced /ku?les/). An approximate translation of this term would be arses. Far from being somewhat offensive or insulting for Barça's fanship, this term was created in the early 20 century, where, while seated in the highest position of the stadium, from outside people saw the bottoms of the fans. This rather humorous term was coined and the fans were called this way ever since. There are about 1,730 FC Barcelona's officially registered supporters clubs around the world (as of November 2005).
Barca's early search for a permanent home saw them playing at the Hotel Casanovas (1900), la carretera d'Horta (1901), el carrer Muntaner (1905) and carrer Indústria, which was the first ground owned by the club and had a capacity of 6,000 with a two tier stand, unique for its time. The ground was officially opened on 14th March 19 1909, by which time the club had already begun to collect titles, having won the Copa Macaya in 1901-02 and the Catalan Championships of 1904-05 and 1908-09. Spurred on by their new surroundings, the club went on to win the Catalan Championships of 1909-10, 1910-11, 1912-13, 1915-16, 1918-19 1919-20, 1920-21 and 1921-22, and the Spanish Championships of 1909-10, 1911-12, 1912-13, 1919-20 and 1921-22, as they enjoyed their first big period of sporting and social expansion.
The decade between 1919 and 1929 is considered a golden age for the club, when the team boasted players such as Samitier, Alcántara, Zamora, Sagi, Piera and Sancho, whose skill drew in the crowds and the club began to take on its identification with Catalan nationalism during a particular difficult period. The 20th May 1922 saw the inauguration of the new Les Corts ground, which soon became known as 'the cathedral of football'. It was a magnificent stadium with a capacity of 30,000, later doubled to 60,000. On the celebration of the club's 25th anniversary in 1924, marked by the famous poster drawn by Valencian artist Josep Segrelles, FC Barcelona had a total of 12.207 members and the future looked bright for the club. Five years later, season 1928-29, Barca won the first of their many Spanish League titles, a fitting climax to a period that had seen them conquer the Catalan Championship in 1923-24, 1924-25, 1925-26, 1926-27 and 1927-28 and the Spanish Championship in 1924-25, 1925-26 and 1927-28. This last victory came after two replays with Real Sociedad and a heroic performance from Barca keeper Franz Platko, which was later celebrated in a poem by Rafael Alberti.
Gamper died on 30th July 1930 and the club went through difficult times for another 10 years because of political conditions in the country. In 1936 Franco's fascists killed the President of Fc Barcelona Josep Sunyol while the club was in America and managed to avoid the same fate. Betwixt the time of the civil war the number of members decreased to 4000 and in 1940 Franco nominated his own President the aristocrat in that time Enrique Pineyro who changed the name of the club into Club de Futbol Barcelona which stayed until the year of 1973 which was 2 years before Franco's death. Besides the alteration of the name Pineyro changed the club's symbols as well. He changed the Catalunia flag with Spanish one (only two lines).
People of Cataunia boiled with rage and Franco got frightened of the possible rebellion as the number of members was increasing with each day. Finally, the club sacked Pineyro and established their leadership. In next 5 years Barca won 3 Spanish trophies with Cesar, Velasco, Ramallets, Curto, brothers Gonzalvo and others at the head.
Barca celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1949 boosted by member numbers of 24,893 and boasting a total of 21 Catalan Championships, 9 cups and 4 Spanish League titles.
With the arrival of Ladislau Kubala in June 1950, it soon became clear that Barca were growing too big for their Les Corts ground. Between 1951 and 1953, Barca won every title on offer -the Spanish Leagues of 1951-52 and 1952-53, the Spanish Cup in 1951,52 and 53. During the 1951-52 season, the team won the five cups: Spanish League, Cup, Latin Cup Eva Duarte and Martin Rossi trophies, with their famous forward line of Basora, César, Kubala, Moreno and Manchón.
Kubala nearly went to Madrid but the decisive moment to change his mind was when he had married daughter of Ferdinand Dauchik, who was in contacts with Josep Samitiers then scaut of the club, so he chose Barcelona at the end.
Kubala was huge talent and he scored 7 goals in a single match against Sporting Gijon in his first season in Barca (1951-1952). Barca won that same match 9-0. This season is regarded as the most successful one in the club's history (5 trophies). Next season Kubala played only few matches due to the consumption he had suffered from – but he miraculously returned and helped winning the League and the Cup title, he scored the decisive goal against Atletico in the final.
The Camp Nou
Ladislau Kubala was too huge a figure for Les Corts and the Club went on to open the doors of the Camp Nou (1957). Some of the greatest players in the world have graced its turf (Kubala, Cruyff, Maradona, Schuster, Ronaldo...) and in the 1990s it was the scene of some of the most spectacular football ever played, thanks to the unforgettable 'Dream Team'. And while the Club keeps growing, the stadium is continually being extended and improved.
The first ticket:
1957- 49000 members (socios).
Coach: Helenio Herrera
With Kubala, Martinez, Luis Suarez (the only Spaniard that won the best European player award), Gensana, Segarra, Evaristo and the Hungarian Kocsis and Czibor (both came on the initiative of Kubala) Barca ground everything that crossed its path. Barca won the Spanish League in 1958-59 and 1959-60 as well as the Fairs Cup in 1957-58 and 1959-60. In the sixties Barca won only 3 trophies: the Spanish Cup in 1963 and 1968 and the Fairs Cup in 1966.
Kubala Herrera quarrel:
Kubala missed the semi-final match against Real Madrid in the European Cup in 1961 which Barca eventually lost 6-2. The club leadership backed up Kubala and Herrera had to leave and only one year later Barca defeated Real Madrid in semi-finals in the same competition and lost in the final against Benfica 3-2. Two years later Kubala ended his career and tried his luck as coach of Barcelona but he wasn't so successful and had to leave the club after the defeat against the Red Star Belgrade.
The club became more and more identified with the Catalan society of that time and began to be known as 'more than a club' because of its social importance. The club again became a focus for nationalist sentiments during a period of dictatorship which came down hard on any other popular manifestations of Catalan identity.
»Som més que un club«
Arrival of Johan Cruyff:
The signing of Johan Cruyff put the finishing touches to a wonderful forward line of Rexach, Asensi, Cruyff, Sotil and Marcial, who led the league winning side of 1973-74. Coinciding with the club's 75th anniversary, there were now 70,000 members, making it the most powerful sporting club in the World.
With the team winning the Spanish Cup in 1978, JosepLluis Nuñez became President on 6th May, with a clear message of renovation and rebuilding. The club then began a considerable period of expansion and financial stability linked to an increase in members, ground improvements and, most importantly sporting success. With 30,000 Catalans present at the final, Barca won the Cup Winners Cup in 1979 and then the Spanish League in 1984, under Terry Venables, before the wonderful era of Cruyff's 'dream team' which won four consecutive Spanish Leagues between 1990 and 1994 and the European Cup on 20th May 1992 at Wembley. Then came Bobby Robson, who won the Cup Winners Cup, the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Super Cup in the 1996-97 season and Louis van Gaal's consecutive league titles in 1997-98 and 1998-99, when the team won the double for the first time in 39 years.
Names such as Migueli, Sánchez, Carrasco, Schuster, Urruti, Maradona, Zubizarreta, Lineker, Bakero, Begiristain, Amor, Koeman, Laudrup, Ferrer, Stòitxkov, Guardiola, Romario, Sergi, Abelardo, Ronaldo, Luis Enrique, Figo, Rivaldo, Kluivert, Puyol and Saviola have all been involved in this wonderful era of success. The celebration of the club's centenary coincided with the arrival of new President Joan Gaspart, whose efforts have been directed to the completion of the new training facilities 'Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper' in Sant Joan DespÃ* and La Masia.
The Dream Team (1991-1994)
Zubizarreta, Ferrer, Nando, Koeman, Juan Carlos, Eusebio, Guardiola (113' Alexanco), Bakero, Laudrup, Julio Salinas (64' Goicoechea) y Stoichkov.
Biggest crisis: Joan Gaspart
After a bad year in 2000, Nuñez and Van Gaal resigned. Joan Gaspart won the elections and we began the longest era without titles. Many coaches, many unuseful players, many failures and an economical crisis.
Gaspart resigned in 2004 and Laporta won the elections for the presidency. His first big signing was Ronaldinho. Laporta had the task of re-building a destroyed club. He found a solution for the crisis and he made a similar revolution to the one made in 1988. The results began at the end of last season. Six years later, Barça is again an power-house in Spain and Europe.
Laporta Era
By the spring of 2003, the football club with the biggest membership in the world, and the largest stadium in Europe, had sunk into one of the worst crises of its 104-year history. FC Barcelona, or Barça, was crippled by debts and demoralised by the increasingly sad performances of its players, and the moral and financial chaos of their management.
And what followed we all know.
Fc Barcelona's trophies:
Spanish First Division: 18
1928-29, 1944-45, 1947-48, 1948-49, 1951-52, 1952-53, 1958-59, 1959-60, 1973-74, 1984-85, 1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94, 1997-98, 1998-99, 2004-05, 2005-06

I'm already gathering the material to write about our historical season. It certainly has its special spot in this thread of Barca's biggest achievements.
I see by the number of view people don't really read this thread. It forces my mind to wonder, do people know all about Barca or are they simply uninterested in its history.

I already read the whole thing when I first joined the old site .. I didn´t know ALOT of stuff back then, the only thing I knew was the names of our players I really recommend people to read this, learn more about the history and watch some documentaries. Once you know all these things you feel more involved with the club, plus you won´t sound stupid if your having a debate with a rival team fan

Guardiola is making history as we speak.
Seriously, we are a rare example of home grown manager leading the home-grown team. At least when it comes to big teams. (Messi, Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta,Valdes...)

Nearly all efforts at organization design are based on structures that can be conveniently represented in 2 dimensions with little distortion. This is notably the case for both organizational hierarchies (as charts), so-called matrix organizations, and the many experiments in networking (to the extent that they are represented on maps at all). Most research into the organization of small groups is based of very simple networks (star, ring, y, and the like).
With the increasing interest in "virtual organization" (especially based on e-mail), there is an emerging case for exploring new kinds of organization and agreement that can only be effectively represented by 3 dimensional structures. Of special interest initially may be those that derive their coherence from having some symmetry around a centre. One group of structures of this kind could be based on polyhedral nets. These can be understood as networks ordered in terms of a single attractor.
It should not be forgotten that much of the graph theory approach to social network analysis is based on combinations of very simple graphic forms. These forms are also to be found in the polyhedral nets. Note that these polyhedral nets are in effect different combinations of the small group structures that have been studied in such detail from the graph theory perspective over the years. The important additional factor however is the manner in which these polyhedral nets "curve back" on themselves. The distinction here is the special constraint on the global structure of a network, whether according to the 3-dimensional form from which it derives, or which it can form if curved into 3-dimensions.
The range of such networks of increasing complexity is best understood from Figures. Each 3-dimensional polyhedron effectively generates a network pattern when all its surfaces are rolled onto a 2-dimensional surface.
The polyhedral nets raise useful questions about privileged communication pathways around a global structure. They also highlight the existence of special local regions bounded by particular communication pathways. They point to places where communication pathways can diverge or merge. The global design can be seen in terms of the appropriate configuration of these individual elements.
The possibility of isolating vicious cycles from the networks of problems that was discussed in an earlier note needs to be related to privileged communication pathways around such polyhedral forms, notably the so-called great circles by whose interlocking they are effectively structured. Hopefully it would be possible to map interlocking vicious cycles in such a way as to determine the nature of the higher dimension construct which they form. It is this construct which would give visual form to the global problematique. Clearly, as the differing sizes of the vicious loops indicated by preliminary searches would suggest, some of these loops are likely to be "local" rather than "global". This characteristic is also evident in some features of the polyhedral nets.
These possibilities suggest that the concept of sustainability could well be given a geometric representation based on such polyhedral structures. Such characteristics become even clearer, as Buckminster Fuller has demonstrated, when the negineering constraints on the construction of polyhedra are confronted. Certain features are vital to their sustainability, namely to prevent them from collapsing. The engineering challenge, properly interpreted, may prove to be a very useful metaphor of the social challenge in designing sustainable social systems.
There is the possibility of a new "language" through which policies, programmes and institutional structures can be articulated. In theconventional language, it is typical to see "points" made in a "line" of argument about a subject "area". Such points may be enshrined in policy principles, in programme mandates, or in the departmental structures of organizations intended to implement them. Normally such nested point structures are embedded in linear text (possibly with the aid of an outliner on a text-processor). Typically the only organization structure expressed in graphic form is the hierarchical (pyramidal) organization chart, with all that that has implied.
In what follows, there is an attempt to look at the possibility of expressing points and lines in geometric form on the assumption that a coherent policy or organization takes a coherent geometric form. By extending the language beyond "lines", to "areas" and "volumes", it is hoped to enrich the range of possibilities that can be clearly distinguished and discussed. It is also hoped to introduce an extra degree of rigour into understanding of debate, especially where it is common for people to "go on and on" without contributing to the articulation of a larger strategic vision.
Organization charters (constitutions), policy documents and programmes are the result of considerable effort at articulating and integrating understanding. It should be possible to represent/interpret/translate such structures into geometrical form, especially by adapting any pattern of nested points.
Duals: point and line structures can be inverted as a standard geometric operation.
Once a line of argument has been defined, a point in the line may be used as a departure for another line. This process may continue without any effort at closure, namely reference back to earlier points or lines in the debate. The debate is then unconstrained, but does not define a structure transcending the linear processes of the debate.
In "developing" a line of argument, references may however be made to other "supporting" points. A distinction should be made between the case where such points form part of the line of argument, and the case where they define the context within which the argument is developed. In the latter case, subsidiary lines link the developing line to the reference points.
A structure may be understood as acquiring coherence when cross-reference between points effectively triangulates the pattern of points and lines.
Enclosure of areas: lines of argument may be structured in relation to one another so as to refer back to earlier lines, intersecting them, and thus creating closure. Closure typically takes the form of an area, of which the simplest is the triangle. The range of relevance of the lines is thus constrained relative to that area. Pursuing a line of argument beyond the points at which it borders a particular area makes it "irrelevant" to that area -- typically associated with the phrase "going on" unnecessarily (about a point).
A line may be common to two (or more) areas. The areas will not necessarily lie in the same plane and there is then a form of conceptual discontinuity between them. Different subject areas may then be considered "related". In a debate, the accusation of haing "changed the subject" may be understood as having shifted from one area, through discontinuity, to a neighbouring area. Accusations of "missing the point" are of similar significance.
Elaboration of structure: contiguous areas may define a complex surface of which the simplest is the grid pattern. Typical examples are the many 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, etc matrices of categories common to academic texts and to presentations by consultants. More complex is a tiling pattern, or arbitrary structures such as might emerge from network maps.
Integration of more complex structures is achieved by ensuring the presence of dimensions of symmetry. The integrative potential increases by constraining contiguous areas to define volumes characterized by such symmetry. Coherence and integrity are properties of such volumes. It is through such properties that significance can be attributed. The volume thus becomes a "container" for meaning.
Volumes are defined by systematically constraining areas in relation to one another, accepting the necessary degree of conceptual discontinuity between the areas of common concern. This discontinuity is proportional to the angle at which contiguous areas intersect (possibly understood as a torsion on the common line of intersection). The areas must be constrained so as to enclose a volume. Thus a 2x2 matrix of categories might be folded into a tetrahedron, a 3x2 matrix could be folded into a cube.
Maximal discontinuity occurs with a minimum number of areas. Here the challenge is to constrain the areas, given the high degree of discontinuity. Exploring an area beyond its line of intersection with a particular volume makes it "irrelevant" to that volume.
Types of volume (polyhedra): a distinction must be made between regular and irregular polyhedra. A regular polyhedron is a more idealistic structure and presupposes that all areas are of the same pattern. With an irregular polyhedron, areas may be of many patterns. As the number of patterns diminishes, the polyhedron approximates more to an ideal structure. Buckminster Fuller made the point that all systems may be understood as polyhedra.
Regular polyhedra: a point in a polyhedron is usually defined by the intersection of three (occasionally four) lines which together define three (or occasionally four) planes. A line is thus common to two contiguous areas, whereas a point is usually common to a minimum of three areas. A point can then "tolerate" the discontinuity between three domains.
One purpose of the language is to channel, and give rigour to, the fuzziness of normal policy debate. This raises the question of when to "code" a sequence of words (whether verbal or in documents) as a point, a line or an area. Often the point structure of a document is a major guideline. This tends to be absent in verbal debate.
It is important to recognize than there are geometric operations which are a useful guideline to the ways in which an existing structure can be "manipulated" during a debate. "Points" may be converted into "lines" and "lines" into "areas", etc. through operations such as projection and rotation. Items can be expandedout of points and contracted back into points. These processes could be effectively tracked with the aid of such a geometric approach to "minute" writing.
There would be considerable advantage in being able to provide a visual display of an evolving debate in such terms. Under the best circumstances participants will in effect be endeavouring to construct a coherent and integrated form so that feedback on its intricacies would prove of value. At the same time, and under less favourable circumstances, some participants will be endeavoring: to extend lines outside the structure, to expand areas into volumes (as execresences on the structure), or to deny the existence of parts of the structure already established.
The fluidity noted above is basic to the potential for representing developmental and transformational pathways without loss of continuity.
Truncating features (faces, vertices, and/or edges) of a polyhedron. This may be understood as flattening the vertex or edge to obtain a new faces, vertices or edges. The reverse process is to pull the centre of a face away from the centre of a polyhedron to obtain a new vertex and hence new faces and edges. Truncating the five platonic polyhedra generates all but two of the semi-regular polyhedra.
Rotating-translation involves: (a) rotation of each face of a polyhedron about its central axis, (b) translation of each face along its axis by a motion that holds the face perpendicular to that axis, (c) maintenance of one connection (whether vertex or edge) between two faces during the roation/translation process, and (d) creation of new faces defined by the voids which appear as a consequence of the process.
Vertex fusing and separating involves: (a) disappearance of faces and edges, (b) fusion and separation of vertices , (c) continuous alteration in face angles, and (d) continuous change in face positions.
Also of great interest is the range of manipulations of the cuboctahedron with flexible joints, as discovered by Buckminster Fuller.


The solution that worked for me was to disable the extension "Do Not Track Plus", as noted in this post.
I had a problem with a machine I am using as a samba fileserver. It would seem that the sshd process was not running at startup, so I would have to log into Gnome and run /etc/init.d/ssh start manually, which was a pain in the arse.
My thinking is that sshd was trying to start up before the network interfaces were configured, which was causing it to fail as it had a ListenAddress directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Commenting out the specific ListenAddress directive and adding ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 to let sshd listen on any address solved the problem. The fileserver has only 1 IP address anyway.
Due to the pressures of university (labs, reports, and a dissertation), coupled with some of the other things I've been doing I haven't posted here in ages. For now I'll have to give you a post that is as much for you as it is for me.
and say yes when it asks you if you want to remove base-config. The functions of base-config have been superseded by locales.
You can also try using localeconf.

                        Search
                    </button>

A: You need to form your sql query depending on the number for search fields something on these lines
                String sql="select * from search where ";
            if (status != null || status != "")
                sql += " anystatus=? ";

            if (type != null || type != "")
                sql += " AND all-type=?"

            //and so on..

Then setting the values to the parameters also need to be done in a similar way
Also I see you are using the values to the first parameter only. You need to specify something like this
            pt.setString(1, status);
            pt.setString(2, type);
            pt.setString(3, bedroom);
            pt.setString(4, bud);
            pt.setString(5, loc);


text: Q: H12 Request Timeout error on Heroku for node js express API I have built a node js express API and as I try to deploy it to Heroku, the H12 request time-out error has been happening for one of the API endpoints that query data from Google's lighthouse API.
