If you consider adopting a turtle, don't be misled with a common preconception that turtles need only a few leaves and a fraction of plain surface to crawl on. For both aquatic and land turtles you would need to set up an equally comfortable habitat and learn to feed them properly – but don't be frustrated! In this guide on how to take care of a turtle, we'll give you all the basics to get started.
First, make sure you choose just the right tank for your breed, as an aquarium for an aquatic turtle is different from a land one and has a bigger water pool, to start with. Consider the dimensions of your turtle when grown up and choose appropriately – on average, the aquarium volume should be between 40 and 60 gallons. In any case, it should allow for setting up a semi-aquatic environment with a necessary space for both hiding and light basking.
This is an easy part, and probably the only one where you won't need to consult a specialist to figure out how to take care of a turtle. When filling your aquarium with substrate, lay a few inches of sand on the bottom and don't forget to sculpt a slope for your turtle to get out of the water conveniently. If you have a land turtle that needs only a pan of water, make sure the substrate layer is deep enough to accommodate the submerged pan.
The only important thing to know about water is that it shouldn't be chlorinated. Pour an optimum amount into the aquarium and then fix a special filter to keep the water clean at all times (still, it doesn't mean you shouldn't change water once a week).
Each turtle breed would require its own temperature standards. When consulting on this matter, ask for the right temperature ranges for a cooling place, a basking spot, water and nighttime. To keep up with these recommendations, you would need a few thermometers at various places, as well as portable heaters (usually, in the form of a bulb) designed especially for these purposes.
Although turtles are pretty peaceful creatures, they are known to be omnivorous, which means they can devour everything in their sight when hungry. To avoid this, either place only one turtle in a single tank or make sure your little pet is well fed all the time. When in doubt, consult a herpetologist or avoid a dangerous co-inhibiting altogether.
One of the major parts of your knowledge on how to take care of a turtle is to learn the right feeding techniques and dietary habits.
One of the most important rules is that aquatic turtles always eat when in the water, so you should provide food accordingly. Even if you feed it from your hand or out of the aquarium, it will need water to swallow the food.
Another common rule is to keep it less messy as much as possible and try to feed it in a separate tank from the aquarium. For solid food, however, a single tank for living and feeding will do, but for liquids and purees it's recommended to use a separate area for easier cleaning.
It's known that turtles can eat nearly everything, but a healthy diet is essential to their wellbeing. Buying special treats in a zoo store is the key; always opt for some well-known brands of turtle food. In other cases, treating them with small chunks of fish, vegetables and green leaves is also acceptable in moderate amounts.
If you're a newbie and want to know how to take care of a turtle by sticking to a proper diet, you can also opt for vitamin and mineral supplements, but usually commercially available turtle food will contain everything needed. Calcium is an exception, but you can easily add it with special supplements or placing calcium-rich elements in the tank. The same is about vitamin A, but its deficiency leads to a clinical disorder and should usually be treated professionally by a veterinarian.
Don't be misguided by your turtle's begging for food – these creatures are known for eating everything on offer even when they are not hungry. Stick to a proper and healthy schedule – young turtles should be fed every day, and for older ones feeding once in two or three days is common, providing that you treat them with some green leaves in between.
If you opt for giving smaller amounts, feed your turtle less but more frequently – up to 3-4 times a day. Still, the most important rule is not to overfeed them as this may result in digestion disorders and all sorts of medical problems. Again, professional consultancy always helps, so that you can tailor the feeding patterns exactly to your turtle breed.
Make it your good practice to clean the tank every 2 weeks. This includes pouring out all the water, washing the tank walls with a sponge and soap, rubbing the walls thoroughly to get rid of all the stains, disinfecting the surfaces and changing the substrate.
Another way is to buy a special water filter that will keep it clean for much longer. Still, even in this case it is recommended to clean the tank once every 2 or 3 months.
When it comes to the swimming water, you should ensure it's clean at all times by putting a filter in it or changing it every 2 or 3 days. For drinking water, it's an absolute must to change it every single day.
Your awareness of how to take care of a turtle won't be complete without knowing how to deal with the products of their bodily functions. First, get rid of all the food leftovers left in the tank to avoid foul smells, rotting and bacteria. To cope with feces, remove the pellets daily with some handy tools and clean all the soiled spots carefully. After that, don't forget to clean your hands – it's not just turtle hygiene that matters.

90 from the '90s #50: Jack Frost (1998) | It's A Stampede!
My knowledge of Jack Frost is pretty limited. I'm aware that Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston star in the movie; that Michael Keaton gets turned into a snowman; that Jim Henson's Creature Shop were involved in the effects in someway; and that this is a family comedy. I'm also aware that Jack Frost is not regarded as being a good movie.
As to why I've never watched it before? Er… honestly?
From the few clips I've seen over the years (trailers, adverts etc), along with the negative reviews, it's a movie I've actively avoided. Oh there are times when I could have watched it – the film has popped up on TV a lot – but I've always had something else I needed to do instead, like cleaning out the fridge, sweeping the floor or separating a bag of rice into a row of individual grains. You know, that kind of thing.
But… you can only avoid things for so long.
1min – Just to clarify, this is the 1998 family comedy, Jack Frost; a film about a man who gets turned into a snowman. This is NOT the 1997 horror movie, Jack Frost; a film about a serial killer who gets turned into a snowman. Jeez, imagine getting these two titles mixed up! The kids wouldn't sleep for weeks.
1mins 20secs – Come to think of it, if the kids are a nightmare this Christmas, maybe mixing up the two movies wouldn't be a bad thing. Just sayin'.
2mins – So, onto the film. Right, Michael Keaton is a singer. A popular singer it seems.
2mins 20secs – Hang on, that's not Michael Keaton. That's Batman!
2mins 30secs – Let's start that again. Right, Batman is a singer. A popular singer it seems.
8mins 45secs – Batman's son is unhappy because Batman is off singing somewhere and he misses him terribly. Kelly Preston – Batman's wife – appreciates the boy's frustrations, but she doesn't care because she's married to Batman!
15mins – Batman has returned home and has given his son (aka Batkid) a harmonica. According to Batman, the harmonica is magical.
15mins 15secs – Look, I know that there's no such thing as a magical harmonica, but if Batman tells you he's giving you a magical harmonica then you believe what he's saying, OK?
24mins – Oh dear. Magic harmonica or no magic harmonica, Batman made a promise to Batkid and he just broke that promise. Bad Batman!
27mins – To get around the broken promise, Batman is now making another promise… that he also won't keep. Great bit of parenting there, Batman. Jeez, you might as well just show the kid the 1997 version of Jack Frost; that'll give him something else to talk to the therapist about.
29mins – Batkid is annoyed and has given the harmonica back to Batman.
32mins – This story has just taken a rather dark, sinister twist. Brace yourselves – Batman is dead!
34mins 45secs – Batkid is very upset. It's not quite clear if he's crying about the passing of Batman or if he's inconsolable over the fact that he gave away the magic harmonica.
36mins – Kelly Preston seems surprisingly upbeat about Batman's death. She hides her pain well. It's almost as if she doesn't care.
40mins – Oh, it would appear that Batkid has the magic harmonica back. Hmm… I wonder what will happen now that he has the harmonica in his possession?
41mins 30secs – Batman is back! Well, kind of. Batman has been resurrected in the shape of a snowman. No, seriously. He's some kind of zombie snowman… or something. Is that possible?!
44mins – The snowman – let's call him Bat-Snowman – has just been run over by a snowplough, yet he's still alive! Am I watching the correct film here? Have I cued up the 1997 horror movie by mistake?
46mins – Nope, this is definitely the right film. Although I can totally see why I'd be confused. Not because of the zombie snowman which would make me think this is the horror movie, but because this so-called family comedy is simply not funny.
53mins – Bat-Snowman may have been a crap dad when he was alive, but he's pretty useful in a snowball fight. That'll make up for all of the times he ignored his son and abandoned his wife.
1hr 10mins – Now that he's dead, Bat-Snowman has finally found the time to teach his son a few things about ice hockey. Apparently, death makes you an expert at ice hockey. Who knew?!
1hr 20mins – Bat-Snowman is melting.
1hr 21mins – Hmm… if Bat-Snowman is going to melt when the weather changes, how is this movie going to end? Is he going to die again? Yep, I'm really struggling to find the comedy in this movie.
1hr 28mins – Batkid and Bat-Snowman are trying to hold back the thawing process by heading out into the snow covered mountains. Sure, the kid will probably die of hypothermia, but at least Bat-Snowman will be fine. PARENT OF THE YEAR!
1hr 30mins – Bat-Snowman: "I think this is the best Christmas I ever had." Blimey, how bad were all your other Christmases?!
1hr 32mins – Kelly Preston has just discovered her husband is back from the dead and he's a zombie snowman. Once again, she has absolutely no problem with this. Come on Kelly, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Your husband died, came back to life as a snowman, made your son keep it a secret, then dragged your son up to a snow-capped mountain to watch him die (again)! WHY DO YOU NOT CARE? WHY KELLY, WHY?!
1hr 34mins 30secs – Anyway, he's dead again. Er… Merry Christmas everyone!
1hr 35mins – This year, be thankful you're not a zombie snowman or as emotionally dead as Kelly Preston.
Well… that was pretty bad.
I get that Jack Frost is aimed at kids & families, but come on, that was just rubbish – kids deserve much, much, much better. Plus, the snowman was creepy as heck.
And why does Kelly Preston not care? WHY, KELLY? WHY?!

Pioneering Astronaut Mae Jemison Offers Insight and Forward Thinking to New National Geographic Channel Series "One Strange Rock"

by Lori Lakin Hutcherson, GBN Editor-in-Chief
Recently, Good Black News was invited to cover the launch of "One Strange Rock," a ten-part space/science series on the National Geographic Channel that premieres Monday, 3/26, and is hosted and narrated by Will Smith. It is director Darren Aronofsky's ("Black Swan," "mother!," "Requiem For a Dream") first foray into television, and the series is produced by Jane Root through her production company Nutopia. It is a cinematic look at Earth from a variety of perspectives – from space, from the sea, from the desert – and across all continents.
From the episodes I've seen, "One Strange Rock" is a gorgeous, meditative, eye-opening look at our planet, and Smith is a welcome, friendly guide along the journey to get to know Earth and all its ecosystems in ways we haven't seen or previously considered. But what honestly got me excited about "One Strange Rock" was the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American female to travel into space (and one of my personal she-ros) to speak with her about her participation in "One Strange Rock," as well as her other current projects (100 Year Starship and Look Up).
As I start to record the interview (this is moments after I fangirl and tell Dr. Jemison I dressed up as her one Halloween, entered a costume contest and won a 25-dollar gift card to Virgin Records), I state into my Voice Memo app the date, time, and that I'm about to interview Dr. Mae Jemison, she charmingly interrupts.
Mae Jemison: How about if we do it in Star Date Time? 2018.01.13, right?
Good Black News: Way better! That's a Trekkie for you! I appreciate that, thank you, Dr. Jemison. Well, first I want to ask you about your involvement in "One Strange Rock." Why, of all the different entities out there covering space, space travel, space exploration, did you want to lend your voice to this project?
MJ: So "One Strange Rock" is the story of the extraordinary journey of Earth. It's about our home planet and how we went from this collection of rock and gases to something that supports life and an incredible diversity of life, and I wanted to be a part of that. When people think about space, so frequently they think about it just as the stars and the pictures and images and the rockets. But actually, space allows us to see our world that we live on. Space allows us to understand that when we look up at the stars, we're actually made of the stuff of stars. Right? Inside of us is the heart of an old star. Doesn't that make you feel like you belong to this universe and that you're supposed to be here?
Absolutely. So is your hope with this particular project that more people will get that understanding that there isn't a separation?
MJ: "One Strange Rock" does this incredible thing – it takes us from the smallest microbe, or to how oxygen is generated in small bubbles, all the way to the vistas of continents or being able to see our atmosphere, and connects it together. And so for me, one of the things we need to understand at some point in time – we've got to figure this out – is that we're Earthlings and that we're connected to this planet. So when I went into space, one of the things that happened to me is that I had an affirmation of something that I always believed. You know when people say, "Save the Earth"? They're mistaken – the Earth will be here. The difference is, can we act in such a way that it continues to support our life form? You see, what "One Strange Rock" shows is how integrated life is on this planet and we as humans are part of that life. If we go to another world – just go to the space station – we have to carry some of the Earth with us. We have to carry that environment with us because this is where we evolved, this is where we developed. That doesn't mean we shouldn't leave – obviously I want to leave -I want to go and explore other places. But it's the recognition that there are a… unique series of coincidences, events and everything that led us to this day, to humans, to me sitting talking to you. And they started billions of years ago.
So with all of that, you talk in the first episode about the "Overview Effect" – about seeing the planet and essentially what you just communicated to me. How do you get people who don't have the opportunity to go into space to understand that boundaries and countries and all of these things that we do as human beings to identify in all these different ways is a way of looking at Earth that isn't going to help foster the survival of our species?
MJ: So I want to make one thing clear – I know a lot of astronauts talk about the "Overview Effect" – that everything belongs right here on this planet – for me when I went into space… I knew damn well that water crosses from one country to another, that our sky is over different countries and weather affects everyone. What "One Strange Rock" does is help people to understand and feel that. So I can maybe mumble words and give you statistics and stuff, but it's not the same thing as having that emotional connection. What I'm so proud about with "One Strange Rock" is that it takes images from lots of different countries, from African countries, from South American countries – it goes down underneath the Earth and goes up to the top. And all those things help us to see this planet and the imagery from people, to animals, to… desolate locations. And so, it's not so much again about mumbling the words, or even saying the words very clearly, it's about allowing people to see and be there with you. And not just from space, because we get down to the detail. We see kids playing, we see folks who've been collecting salt for generations from one location. All of those things are important for us to understand our connectedness to this world. And it's not about preaching and it's not about how fast the Space Station is orbiting the Earth or any of that kind of stuff – it's that vantage point.

Retired U.S. Marine Corps Major General and former NASA Administrator Charles Frank Bolden Jr. has been selected as recipient of the 2017 Nierenberg Prize.
While many young people dream of becoming a NASA astronaut and exploring space, only a select few actually make this dream a reality. Some seemingly "fall into" this remarkable career path. One of those people is retired U.S. Marine Corps Major General and former NASA Administrator Charles Frank Bolden Jr., who spent 34 years serving in the Marine Corps and 14 years as a NASA astronaut (1980-1994), logging more than 680 hours in space during four space shuttle missions, twice as commander and twice as pilot.
In honor of his remarkable career and lifetime of service to science, his country, and the public, Bolden has been selected as recipient of the 2017 Nierenberg Prize by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. All are invited to attend the award ceremony and a presentation from Bolden in a free event on Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Robert Paine Scripps Forum for Science, Society and the Environment.
Bolden grew up in the segregated South and overcame great obstacles to become a transformative leader. He is the first African American to serve as NASA Administrator, a position he held from July 2009 to January 2017 which was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. During his time at the helm, Bolden oversaw a new era of exploration with science activities including an unprecedented landing on Mars by the Curiosity rover, launch of a spacecraft to Jupiter, and continued progress toward the 2018 launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
UC San Diego News sat down to chat with Bolden about his incredible journey, from his early days in science to space and beyond.
Q: What inspired you to get involved in science?
Charles Bolden: I always liked taking stuff apart and putting it back together, but I think I became seriously involved in seventh grade, in middle school when my seventh-grade science teacher Mr. J.P. Neal not only encouraged but almost mandated us to participate in science fairs in school. I fell in love with it and I never missed a science fair after that.
Q: Have you ever followed up with that teacher to let him know the impact he had on your life?
CB: I periodically see him when I get back home. And I frequently mention him and my seventh-grade math teacher Mr. King Benjamin Lindberg Jeffcoat in my talks when I discuss the people who inspired me and who were responsible for changing my life.

Astronaut Jeanette Epps to be NASA's 1st African-American Crew Member on International Space Station

article by Miriam Kramer via mashable.com
NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is set to become the first African-American crewmember on the International Space Station when she flies to space next year, the space agency announced Wednesday.
Epps' months-long trip should begin in 2018, and it will mark the first time she has traveled to orbit, following in the footsteps of the women who inspired her to become an astronaut. "It was about 1980, I was nine years old. My brother came home and he looked at my grades and my twin sisters' grades and he said, 'You know, you guys can probably become aerospace engineers or even astronauts,'" Epps said in a NASA video interview.
"And this was at the time that Sally Ride [the first American woman to fly in space] and a group of women were selected to become astronauts — the first time in history. So, he made that comment and I said, 'Wow, that would be so cool.'" While other African-American astronauts have flown to the Space Station for brief stays during the outpost's construction, Epps will be the first African-American crewmember to live and work on the station for an extended period of time.
"Robert Curbeam, Stephanie Wilson, Joan Higginbotham, Al Drew, Leland Melvin and Robert Satcher, along with their space shuttle crewmates, helped to complete the space station during its first 11 years," space historian Robert Pearlman, who runs the website collectSPACE.com, told Mashable.
Melvin actually encouraged Epps to apply to become an astronaut when the space agency put out a call for their 2009 class, Epps said. And that encouragement paid off. Epps was selected as one of 14 astronaut candidates in NASA's 2009 class. NASA received 3,500 astronaut applications that year. Her astronaut selection wasn't the first time she worked with the space agency, however. Epps was a NASA fellow while at the University of Maryland for graduate school in aerospace engineering and then worked in a lab at Ford Motor Company for more than two years, according to the space agency.

From there, Epps' path to becoming an astronaut takes a decidedly atypical turn. Most astronauts come to the Astronaut Corps either through training in science or as a military officer, but after Ford, Epps spent more than seven years at the Central Intelligence Agency as a technical intelligence officer."I did a lot of scientific stuff, but I also did a lot of operational stuff," Epps said. "We worked in non-proliferation issues, which was great. It's reverse engineering at its best." Epps also volunteered to go to Iraq with the CIA for four months to help search for weapons of mass destruction.

20 Years Ago Today: Bernard Harris Jr. Becomes 1st African American to Walk in Space
On this day in 1995, Bernard Harris Jr. became the first African American to walk in space. After logging 198 hours and 29 minutes in space and completing 129 orbits, he traveled more than 4 million miles total throughout his career as an astronaut.
Harris was born in Temple, Texas, on June 26, 1956. He graduated from high school in San Antonio, and later went on to receive a Bachelor of Science from the University of Houston. He earned a doctorate in medicine at Texas Tech University in 1982. He also earned a master's in biomedical science from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1996. Harris has won numerous awards and honors including the 1996 Honorary Doctorate of Science, Outstanding Young Men of America in 1984, the University of Houston Achievement Award in 1978, the National Research Council Fellowship in 1986 and 1987, and many, many more.
Harris joined the NASA Johnson Space Center as a scientist and flight surgeon after completing his fellowship in 1987; he held the title of project manager. He was selected by NASA in January 1990 to become an astronaut, and he qualified for a space mission. During his time on flight STS-63 that departed Feb. 2, 1995, and returned Feb. 11, he made by becoming the first African American to touch down and walk in space. He left NASA the following April; he is currently chief scientist and vice president of Science and Health Services.

Eastbourne, population 97,000(2010 Est.), located on the south coast 70 miles due south of London, is one of the most attractive resort towns in the country. It may be approached from the north by the A22, and from the east and west by the A27 and the A259. The club is centrally located on the western edge of Eastbourne town centre, by Saffrons Sports Club and overlooked by the town hall clock. The entrance to the club car park and clubhouse is in Saffrons Road, a short walk from Eastbourne railway station, the main shopping area and the seafront. Head for the landmark town hall clock tower and you can't miss us. When not bowling, you may take a short drive west and you will find yourself at the top of the Beachy Head cliffs and the start of the South Downs. While walking here in the summer of 1905, Claude Debussy, taking a summer break from Paris, composed 'La Mer' (The Sea) - the three symphonic sketches that changed the face of classical music. From the cliff tops you can see the many changing shapes and colours of the sea that inspired him. Don't be surprised to come across troops of ramblers heading off on the South Downs Way, or adventurous folks leaping off the edges of cliffs, to be miraculously kept aloft by multicoloured kites, riding the thermals. A short drive to the east lies Pevensey Bay and '1066 Country', which is a delight for birdwatchers and historians. Come and appreciate the gentle sloping beaches that proved so attractive to William of Normandy, and Julius Caesar a thousand years before him.

Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul auf Scherau (* 17. September 1711; † 2. Juni 1766 in Dresden) war kursächsischer Diplomat im Range eines Legationsrates mit dem Titel kursächsischer Geheimrat, der 1741 in den Ritter- und Reichsadelstand sowie 1763 in den Reichs-Banner-Freiherrn-Stand erhoben wurde.

Geschichte
Am 12. August 1741 erneuerte und bestätigte Friedrich August, König in Polen, als Reichsvikar seinem Legationsrat Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul den Reichsadel und Ritterstand, weil Ferdinand Ludwig angeblich von dem schlesischen Geschlecht von Saulberg abstammte.

Von 1752 bis 1753 ließ er nach Entwürfen von Johann Christoph Knöffel das Saulsche Haus in Dresden erbauen.

Im Siebenjährigen Krieg (1756–1763) war er als Diplomat in Wien und Paris tätig. Kaiser Franz I. erhob am 27. September 1763 Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul, kursächsischer Geheimrat, samt seinen Nachfahren in den Reichs-Banner-Freiherrn-Stand.

Familie
Ferdinand hatte zwei Brüder, wovon Friedrich Magnus im Jahre 1773 als sächsischer Resident am spanischen Hof kinderlos verstarb, während Christian Ludwig zwei Töchter hinterließ. Ferdinand Ludwig war seit 1748 mit Margaretha Henriette von Fritsch (1730–1792) verheiratet, Tochter des sächsischen Staatsmanns Thomas von Fritsch. Aus ihrer Ehe gingen drei Töchter hervor, deren eine die Ehefrau des Franz August von Blücher wurde, der 1786 das Schloss Buderose erwarb.

Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul auf Scherau (* 17. September 1711; † 2. Juni 1766) ⚭ (1748) Margaretha Henriette von Fritsch (* 9. März 1730 in Dresden; † 2. Juli 1792 in Dresden)

Q: Retrieving a value from passed argument There must be something I'm misunderstanding, why does this not return 10?
int main() {

    float i = 0;
    func(i);
    printf("%f", i);

    return 0;
}

void func(float i) {

    int j;
    for (j = 0; j < 5; j++) {

         i += 2;
    }
}

A: Primitive types (like floats) are "passed by value", func() is really modifying a copy of i.

A: It is passed by value. Whatever changes you are making in your function are done to the copy of the passed value but not the actual one.
To make it modify the value of the original variable you should use a pointer to it, and pass the value of that pointer to your func.
Make your function like below:
void func(float *i) {
    int j;
    for (j = 0; j < 5; j++) {

         *i += 2;
    }
}

And call this function as :
func(&i);

The vast majority of Wing Chun that is taught throughout the world today can trace it's lineage back to one man; the late Grandmaster Yip Man (Ip Man). Yip Man was the first Wing Chun Sifu (teacher) to teach in an 'open way' and as such over the course of his teaching life he had many students. Many of Sifu Yip Man's students became teachers themselves and went on to have their own students throughout the world. His most famous student, Bruce Lee is probably still primarily responsible for Wing Chun being the most widely taught of the Chinese Martial Arts, apart from Tai Chi Chuan (however this system is now primarily taught for health rather than self defence).
Wing Chun is of course a Chinese Martial Art and as a result it has been translated into English by lots of different people. The most common way of writing the Chinese Characters is 'Wing Chun' but it was originally written 'Ving Tsun' and since then a whole host of other ways of writing the characters have come into existence, including 'Wing Tsun' and 'Yong Chun' which is often associated with Mandarin translations (as opposed to the more common Cantonese translations).
Some of the translations are associated with particular Wing Chun Masters for example Ving Tsun is most commonly associated with students of the late Sifu Wong Shun Leung (WSLVT) and Wing Tsun (WT) is associated with students of Sifu Leung Ting.
Due to the nature of how Wing Chun has grown in the West there are many different variations and ways of teaching this awesome system. This is simply down to people being different and so interpreting the concepts of Wing Chun in different ways. At Cambridge Kung Fu we are as interested in education as martial arts and so the way in which we teach all our classes is a blend of the best of what we are taught by our teachers and how we feel our students learn best, which is based on modern scientific educational psychology.
The Chinese Characters of Wing Chun can be translated as 'Eternal Springtime', we feel that this, like the Wing Chun legend, is a metaphor for the qualities we are aiming to nurture in our training. The ability to recycle energy so that we never run out and so become 'eternal' and the ability to recover and rise again; like 'springtime'. So Wing Chun is the science of internal energy recycling and continuous recovery from 'failed' plans and the art is created through our own unique practise! "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm," Scott Sonnon.

Facebook's Trending Topics section – and the company's attempt at personalizing it – has been controversial since its inception. While it's a useful vignette of the topics people are talking about, Facebook's attempts at tailoring the section to your own interests were often met with backlash. Now the company has given up on personalization and settled on a more traditional list of the most popular current events.
The first change particularly notable. When it last updated the section back in August, the company removed descriptions about the topics. While that helped prevent apparent bias in how events were described, it removed a good deal of context.
That seems to give a distinct advantage to bigger publishers, but we'll have to see how it plays out over time. Of course, you can still click through to view more articles on the topic from different sources.
This should surface trending topics quicker, be more effective at capturing a broader range of news and events from around the world and also help ensure that trending topics reflect real world events being covered by multiple news outlets.
The subtext there is that sourcing trending topics from multiple outlets will go a long way in preventing fake news from trending, as it has multiple times.
Finally, by making sure everyone in a region sees the same articles, it makes it easier for the company to roll out trends around the world; it doesn't need to calibrate its algorithm to assess each individual user's interest. This should also help combat fake news, as everyone will see the same few selection of trending stories, and make it easier for people in a region to discuss current events. That said, Facebook isn't saying what constitutes a region; as far as we know it could be as small as a city or as large as a country.
As before, topics will continue to be selected by a magic algorithm, and then reviewed by a team to make sure there isn't anything fishy happening.
While there are still concerns with the new system – which publishers get shared most often, for instance – it looks like a step in the right direction for a more balanced look at trending topics. Hopefully it will also help curb some fake news along the way.


The common wooden snap traps that are effective for Norway rats are effective for roof rats. In agricultural settings, weasels, foxes, coyotes, and other predators prey on roof rats, but their take is inconsequential as a population control factor. It is recommended for use in homes because, unlike with poison baits, there is no risk of a rat dying in an inaccessible place and creating an odor problem. Usually the peaks in breeding occur in the spring and fall. Pelleted or loose cereal anticoagulant baits are used extensively in tamper-resistant bait boxes or stations for a permanent baiting program for Norway rats and house mice. While rats can live in the walls, the kitchen, under the house, etc. the most common place for rats to inhabit in a house is the attic. Dense shrubbery, vine-covered trees and fences, and vine ground cover make ideal harborage for roof rats. All anticoagulants provide excellent roof rat control when prepared in acceptable baits.
Proper ladder safety is a must, as is roof safety. Their use for roof rats is limited to control within structures because roof rats rarely produce burrows. They prefer gnawing on wood but may also damage property, electrical wiring, and food packaging. A vegetation-free margin around the grove will slow rat invasions because rats are more susceptible to predation when crossing unfamiliar open areas. Sometimes rats get into the kitchen area and feed on stored foods. Roof rats can also nest on the ground if necessary. Overhead trap sets are particularly useful for roof rats. Pocket gopher box-type traps (such as the DK-2 Gopher Getter) can be modified to catch rats by reversing the action of the trigger.
It has often been said that Norway rats will displace roof rats whenever they come together, but the evidence is not altogether convincing. Care must be exercised to ensure that baits are properly placed and the use instructions on the product's label are strictly followed. Females can breed year-round. Lights (flashing or continuously on) may repel rats at first, but rats will quickly acclimate to them. Wire-mesh, live traps (Tomahawk®, Havahart®) are available for trapping rats. Setting a trap to collect a few specimens may be the only sure way to identify the rat or rats involved. Proper ladder safety is a must, as is roof safety. Rats rely more on their keen senses of smell, taste, touch, and hearing than on vision.

My name is Lotus and I live in Gaibandha.
Photographer: Wahid Adnan/Drik, Bangladesh
In 1998, there was an accident and I lost my total vision. After that I took different treatments so now my condition is that I am a person with low vision with almost 90% vision lost. I can see light and shadow only.
I had a good life before the accident. I was involved with many things. I worked as a journalist and I was also involved in politics.
But after that accident my confidence was gone, so most of the time for many years I stayed home. If I did go out my wife was always with me. It was very difficult for me. I had had some money in the bank but all the money was spent for treatment for my condition. It was a very hard time for me and my financial position deteriorated.
Then I was identified by a local organisation, GUK, and they invited me to attend leadership training. I attended the training the first day with my wife. They said that I had to come alone, not with my wife. I was afraid. I told them I was not used to going out alone, but they said, 'You will have to try!' So the next day my wife came with me for some of the distance, then I took a rickshaw, all by myself. The second day was a little bit easier for me and the third day even easier. In doing that, my confidence was built and I started to move around the community and to different places.
After that I also attended a GUK training on human rights for people with disabilities. Then, when the local organisation was confident that we could go on by ourselves, we established a group which is called the Local Ambassador or LAM group. We do many types of things: we were involved in organising disability cards, making sure people get their disability allowance and going to meetings. We support persons with disabilities when they are deceived, raped and also when there are conflicts or trouble with land ownership. We became so popular that people come to us with their problems; we go and help them solve their problems. I am also a member of the Disability Allowance Implementation Committee.
People with disabilities are vulnerable. But unity brings power. In most of the cases persons with disability are alone; they do not have access to justice. The LAM group has unity and power which helps people take action.
I'm working again as a journalist. I write features about different issues on people with disabilities and others also. But my priorities are persons with disabilities.
There are many organisations working but most of them don't focus on persons with disabilities. If there were more active groups like ours, it would be a very good thing for persons with disabilities. We also need more promotion, like the positive things about people with disabilities and what they can do. We are doing many things, but people don't know. More people need to know about us.

Ever wondered what conductors do in bed? It's not that inspiring. Haggard with jet lag, tossing and turning on crumpled sheets in a Tokyo or Toronto hotel suite, they play a game of Fantasy Orchestras to while away the unrelenting night. Here's how. Take two concertmasters from the Vienna Philharmonic, one from the Concertgebouw and a fourth from San Francisco.
Add the cello section of the Berlin Philharmonic, the double-basses of St Petersburg, the new principal flute in New York, that fetching bassoonist in Pittsburgh, horns from Cleveland and Chicago, woodwind ad libitum and violas to taste. Stir gently and, if you're still awake, you will have created the paramount orchestra on earth.
Several conductors have cut me in on this private game but none has converted the fantasy into waking reality - until now. Claudio Abbado, presiding at this summer's Lucerne Festival, has cherry-picked players from symphony and chamber orchestras, string quartets and solo rosters to form an ensemble that will be the envy of Salzburg and a thumb in the eye for the Berlin Philharmonic, from whom Abbado parted company last year.
His Lucerne all-stars include two Berlin concertmasters, Kolya Blacher and Rainer Kussmaul, along with the ex-principal flute (Emmanuel Pahud), viola (Wolfram Christ) and oboe (Albrecht Mayer). In addition, Abbado has signed up half the Hagen Quartet, the virtuoso cellist Natalya Gutmann, Alois Posch (double-bass) from the Vienna Philharmonic and Sabine Meyer (clarinet) of Munich. Rub your disbelieving ears, ye heavenly hosts, and weep.
Such dreams can come true only at festival time. In permanent orchestras, maestros get along with tenured musicians of uneven temperament and with the human clay thrown up at auditions. Here, the fantasy is harder to sustain. There are two known chemical reactions that take place between conductor and orchestra and both can go badly wrong.
Orchestras choose conductors in a flash of infatuation that often dies by the time the maestro has cleared his diary and arrives to start work. There is every chance that, by the time James Levine reaches Boston in September 2004, the champagne will have gone flat. Making magic, the new conductor must avoid making enemies. Franz Welser-Most, sometime terror of the London Philharmonic, has just marked his first mid-season in Cleveland by sacking three principal players.
Levine, by comparison, is so laid back about Boston that he cannot even be bothered to attend auditions, leaving it to a committee of players to select new recruits.
Simon Rattle kept the Berlin Philharmonic waiting for three years but, from his inaugural concert last September, struck exactly the right note. What was so remarkable about his performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony was that it changed the way the orchestra sounded, forsaking the efficient purr of Karajan and Abbado for more dangerous, juddering entries reminiscent of their distant predecessor, Wilhelm Furtw‰ngler.
In a candid interview with Der Tagespiegel, Rattle dismissed Karajan's sound as inflexible and Abbado's as slack. His own rehearsals are punctuated with laughter and his coffee breaks with noisy debate. As a musical reactor, Rattle is in the nuclear class.
Yet, for all his success in Berlin, Rattle has a Fantasy Orchestra that give him no rest. The Vienna Philharmonic, who have no chief conductor, have been wooing him for a decade. Two years ago, Rattle became only the fifth conductor in 160 years to lead the Viennese in a live cycle of the nine Beethoven symphonies. For a long-haired music-lover from Liverpool, the lure of Vienna was irresistible, but Rattle was man enough to impose his own terms.
He made the Viennese set aside their time-hallowed scores and relearn the symphonies from a steam-cleaned scholarly edition prepared by the British conductor Jonathan Del Mar from the composer'smanuscripts. The variances between the Beethoven we know all too well and the notes he actually wrote are legion, affecting not just literal discrepancies but the structural balance of key passages in the Third, Seventh and Ninth symphonies. Even a casual listener will notice atmospheric changes just before the "Freude" chorus in the Ninth.
For the professors in the Philharmonic these exhumations, allied to Rattle's sparkling enthusiasm, elicited concert performances of, by most accounts, astonishing clarity and excitation. Their cycle was recorded by EMI and, newly released, shot this week to the top of the UK classical charts - evidence not so much of a classical revival as of the strength of Rattle's fan-base and of the quickening domestic interest in his European progress.
Another milestone, then, for the unstoppable Rattle? Not quite. The trouble with recordings is that, unlike concerts, they can be soberly cross-referenced and critically compared. Some of Rattle's interpretations in this boxed set - the First and Eighth symphonies, in particular - are stunningly vivacious and, at the same time, rewardingly reflective. These are, however, peripheral works. The core symphonies are perplexingly, even perversely, inconsistent. The Eroica is disabled from the outset by wilfully slow lower strings. The Seventh can't seem to decide which customs channel to enter, or what it has to declare.
It is not the fault of Del Mar's edition. The Eroica, recorded four years ago in this version by David Zinman and the Tonhalle orchestra of Zurich, came up fresh as daisies. What is lacking in Rattle's account is va-va-voom - Schwung, the Viennese would call it.
And that's the conundrum of this cycle, which is admirable and challenging in many parts but dispiriting in the vital ones. One observer of a recent concert told me that he felt Rattle and the Vienna Philharmonic had too much respect for each other. It was a case of "after you" - "no, after you".
Be that as it may, the recording never achieves the combustion of Rattle's London cycle of the Beethoven symphonies with the less illustrious Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. It may be that Vienna is a fantasy too far for Rattle, one that Sigmund Freud would have advised him to leave well alone.
Rattle, though, will not let go. "I dream," he told Der Tagespiegel, "of conducting both orchestras, Berlin and Vienna, on a single platform one day."
Some dreams, every conductor must know, are best left unrealised.


Termux is a terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android. I wanted to customise my prompt in the same way that I have done on my desktop/laptop machines. Ordinarily I would have a .bashrc in my home directory where I would make the changes to the prompt (PS1). However Termux doesn't recognise this.
Following this method the changes to PS1 are made in "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/bash.bashrc". I had been successfully using this method for a while with no ill effects. That was until today when I realised an update to Termux had overwritten the changes. Not what I wanted.
So after some searching I have found a solution that should survive future updates. In your Termux home directory save the following as ".profile". This will be run when Termux is started and make Termux look for a ".bashrc" file in the home directory.
Create and edit ".bashrc" with any custom options. Exit and restart Termux and your custom configuration should be loaded.

How to tell if your home internet is being throttled
Monica White | Dec 27, 2021
Having internet at home usually implies a stable and reliable connection, but that is not always the case. If you find that your internet connection is not working as well as it should be, it's possible it's being throttled. As your connection is shared by many users connected to the same cell tower, internet service providers (ISPs) sometimes limit the bandwidth of certain users. This may result in problems such as websites taking much longer to load, streaming services such as Netflix failing to work, and many other annoying issues.

Your WiFi is about to get a whole lot faster [UPDATE]
Chris Burns | Apr 23, 2020
This week the FCC opened up 6GHz band to Wi-fi for the everyday average user, and for other unlicensed uses. This was the next big step - the biggest step, from a regulatory standpoint - toward the biggest upgrade in Wi-fi since 1989. The FCC vote opens up more space on which data can transmit over the internet, to cut down on congestion for everyday citizens. There'll be more space on which data can move, and with 6Ghz, that data can be transmitted a whole lot faster, too.

I was at Parents Night to get introduced to the staff at the high school my younger son will go to next year. It is one of the best high schools in the state and has been listed in top schools in the country. I had a déjà vu moment. The teachers – who are good teachers at a good school – speak to audiences every day of their professional career. To be honest they stunk when speaking in front of an audience. How is that possible?
I had similar experiences when my kids went to elementary school and middle school. The reality is that most of us don't get better until we get feedback. When is that last time you thought, "She/he says um a lot?" When is the last time you went up to someone and said, "When you speak, you said uh 87 times during that presentation?" Chances are, you hear bad verbal crutches all the time, but you keep it to yourself.
I hate to break it to you, but you are most likely using verbal crutches like, so, ya know, ah, and um also. Guess what? NO ONE IS TELLING YOU! Heck, even our Presidents, who are generally gifted orators, often use ah and um when speaking off the cuff. Next time, you listen to a live speaker or someone on TV, count the number of times they say um. You will be surprised.
Do something for yourself today, go to http://www.toastmasters.org/, click on "Find a club near you" and put in your zip code. Join a professional speaking club for 1-2 years and earn your Competent Communicator (CC) Certification. NSPF® Certified Instructors get a credit towards future purchases when they complete their CC.
It will be the best thing you do for yourself. After all, we need to stop being the person that says uh all the time, or my favorite, you know, so people can begin to remove doubts about us. No one has the guts to tell us – except our fellow Toastmasters!

Recently several visitors of websites have asked me about this manual, which is being promoted quite widely across the Internet. So I bought a copy myself to figure out what all the fuss was about.

And cooking, have been considered a delicacy during weddings and feasts, while ginkgo seeds are used in traditional Chinese medicine as a kidney yang tonic, to increase sexual energy, halt bed-wetting, and soothe bladder irritation. The seeds are boiled as a tea used to treat lung weakness and congestion (especially asthma), wheezing, coughing, vaginal candidiasis, frequent urination, cloudy urine, and excess mucus in the urinary tract. In Malaya, the seeds are popularly used for making desserts and are recommended for their beneficial effect on the brain, circulation, and eyes. Interestingly, the leaves are much less frequently used in eastern Asia and include the treatment of chilblains (reddening, swelling, and itching of the skin due to frostbite), and as a throat spray for asthma. Today, ginkgo leaf extracts have enjoyed worldwide popularity and have stepped into the herbal spotlight. This has been due to heavy media coverage and also to a number of very interesting clinical...

Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug prepared from members of the Ephedra family, such as Ephedra vulgaris, also called the sea grape. It is available as ordinary pharmaceutical formulations of ephedrine, but also in herbal formulations of Ephedra, including a Chinese herbal medicine called Ma huang, which has been used since ancient times as a stimulant and in the treatment of asthma, and in formulations combined with caffeine. It is used to treat asthma, nasal congestion, fever, obesity, and anhidrosis. It is also abused as a recreational drug. Of 140 reports of adverse events related to Ephedra supplements submitted to the FDA between June 1997 and March 1999, 31 were definitely or probably causally related to Ephedra (1). In 47 of the cases, there were cardiovascular symptoms and in 18 central nervous system effects 10 patients died.

No curative medical interventions are available for any of these conditions. In part, this problem explains why many individuals with these conditions report negative experiences with treatment providers and with physicians in particular. Many physicians rely solely on palliative pharmacological agents, refer individuals with CFS for psychotherapy, or recommend no treatment whatsoever. Pharmacological management has been found to be helpful for certain individuals. Activity pacing, energy conservation training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy with graded activity have been used effectively to improve coping and in some cases improve functioning. Multidisciplinary approaches that include medical supervision, nutritional counseling, physical therapy, social support, psychotherapy, and medication management may produce the most favorable outcomes. In addition to these approaches, many patients dissatisfied with Western medicine have utilized alternative medical treatments, such as...

244 Acupuncture and acupressure
Last Updated on Tue, 11 Jun 2019 | During Breastfeeding
Acupuncture is a popular form of Chinese medicine, based on the notion that vital life energy (qi) Hows through dozens of paths (meridians) throughout the human body. Illness is thought to be the result of obstructed or misdirected energy flow, and stimulating of acupoints within the meridian system is believed to restore health by correcting this flow. By inserting very thin needles 5 mm deep under the skin, different organs can be influenced via the meridians. Many acupoints influence the upper gastrointestinal tract, but the acupoint studied most by Western scientists is the P6 (Nei Guan), located on the anteromedial aspect of the forearm at a three-finger distance from the wrist crease, between the palniaris longus and flexor carpi radialis tendons. This point can be activated using needles (acupuncture) or by pressure (acupressure) applied by an acupressure band. These trials employed dry capsules of ginger rhizome. Ginger biscuits, however, might worsen the symptoms of NVP due...

Blood Vacuity Xue Xu
Last Updated on Mon, 01 Jul 2019 | Chinese Therapy | 1 comment
TCM believes that blood is primarily formed in the spleen. Blood vacuity can therefore be caused by spleen vacuity. Blood formed in the spleen with help from the lungs becomes spirited with qi and jing from the kidneys as it circulates. Not until then does blood from the spleen have the necessary energy. Good blood formation also requires balanced lung and kidney energy. The liver plays an important role as a storage organ for blood. This means that any blood vacuity eventually leads to liver disharmony with liver blood vacuity (gan xue xu). Particularly damaging to the blood is liver heat, which sets blood into restless motion. Protracted heat can dry out and damage blood (xue).

Syncope, also called fainting, is a state of temporary loss of consciousness, which is usually caused by temporary cerebral ischemia or temporary cerebral anoxia. Syncope is often caused by mental excitement, fright, severe pain, standing for a long period of time, or standing up suddenly. TCM holds that syncope is caused by a disorder of Qi, by Qi deficiency and collapse, or by failure of lucid Yang to rise.

In addition to biomedicine, modern Japan has a wide variety of East Asian medical systems and has undergone a revival of these systems, much in the same way that the United States, Canada, European societies, Australia, and New Zealand have seen the emergence of the holistic health New Age movement. The most popular of these is kanpo ( the Chinese method ), a form of herbal medicine that was imported to Japan from China in the sixth century. In addition to prescribing herbs, kanpo doctors administer acupuncture, body manipulation, and moxi-bustion. Kanpo doctors are M.D.s who combine bio-medicine and East Asian medicine. They tend to treat psychosomatic ailments in which the patients' chief complaints are tiredness, headaches, occasional dizziness, or numbness, typical symptoms emanating for the somatization of distress. Lock also reports the existence of herbal pharmacies, acupuncture clinics, moxibustion clinics, and amma (massage) parlors in Kyoto. She reports, however, that East...
Stephania species

Various species of Corydalis (fumewort, Fumariaceae) and Stephania (Jin bu huan) contain tetrahydropalmatine (1), which is the active constituent in Chinese Jin Bu Huan Anodyne'' tablets, sold on the Western market.

Ephedra and Kath
Thu, 15 Dec 2016 | Herbal Drugs
The genus Ephedra includes approx. 45 species indigenous to the temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, Europe, and America. The species E. sinica has been used in traditional Chinese medicine under the name Ma Huang for more than 500 years. The use of Ma Huang as a stimulant was first documented in the time of the Han Dynasty (ca. 206 BCE-220 CE) 25 . A possible translation of the Chinese name of the plant is yellow hemp, which could explain its main use as a stimulant. Unfortunately, this assumption is not confirmed by historical sources.
