RITU & REENA HORRA of HORRA FAMILY LAW "PUTTING FAMILY FIRST"
REENA & RITU HORRA of HORRA FAMILY LAW
Divorce is stressful as it is, and nobody wants the added problems of a process they don't understand, lawyers who are unreachable, or unsatisfactory financial arrangements.
Ritu and Reena Horra of Horra Family Law take the opposite approach -- it is their mission to make sure they can be counted on, each step of the way.
They are sisters – family who are working in family law – putting respect and support at the centre of their legal practice.
So when they are dealing with a client's issues, whether separation, property division, custody access, child support, or spousal support, they're also hands-on with clients, so those already rough times aren't made worse.
"Our slogan is 'We Put Family First' because we are family," says Reena. "We understand the concept of a family, and make sure that other families are really put first, in order to move on."
"Putting family first means keeping clients informed and educated about the family law processes they are involved in, what their rights are, what their responsibilities are and their options," says Reena.
REENA HORRA
"We keep in touch with our clients, with clear and open communication. From our standpoint, our clients must be updated constantly. They know each step, and the pros and cons of taking certain steps. We very much work together with each client" says Ritu.
Among their many areas of expertise, mediation is one example where Ritu and Reena help families re-focus, and come to a solution that is in everyone's best interests. "The primary focus, in terms of mediation, is working with a neutral third party in resolving the parties' dispute. It is a non-adversarial approach to conflict resolution without going to court," says Reena.
When emotions are flared, it can be tempting for people to escalate conflict and indulge in aggressive legal action. It can also be tempting for some to rush a settlement, to avoid conflict. Neither of those tends to be beneficial in the short or long term, and that is why mediation can be a good option for many.
Horra Family Law can also help with Collaborative Family Law - a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution that focuses on interest based negotiations. The Collaborative Family Law process requires the voluntary participation and willingness of both parties to work through the legal issues civilly and amicably, says Reena. In the Collaborative process, parties resolve their disputes respectfully, with the assistance and guidance from their lawyers and other professionals to achieve a settlement that is tailored to the specific needs, interests and unique circumstances of all parties involved.
"This is where our expertise come into play," says Ritu. The guiding principle of Collaborative Family Law is mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation between both spouses.
RITU HORRA
In addition, Reena and Ritu have in-depth experience and knowledge regarding child-related issues of custody, access, parenting plans and child support.
"Many clients are unaware of the laws with respect to child support and their entitlement to expenses that are not included in the basic child support amount," says Reena.
Also, many clients are unaware of the difference between custody, access, parenting time, and the children or child's residency, which leads to confusion, as they are all extremely different concepts, notes Reena.
Ritu and Reena Horra spend the time with their clients to ensure that they understand all legal terms prior to taking any steps.
"We want the best for our clients and their children, and care about their well being. Children deserve to live in a peaceful and safe environment, not just in the interim, but long term, and to have a prosperous future. Our attention is long term," Ritu says.
"Again, we know any decisions our clients are making are as a result of our advice are not just for today, but for tomorrow," adds Reena.
That goal also extends to spousal support – where they are skilled at helping the client navigate any risks, rights, and obligations regarding spousal support. They deeply understand the complexities of property issues, pensions, investments and ensure that your property rights to separation are recognized and protected. "When dealing with financial issues, we take the responsibilities our client give us very seriously, and protect their rights so they can take care of their emotions and hopes for the future," says Ritu.
So whatever the need in family law, Ritu and Reena are there to guide you through the process and ensure that your rights – from start to finish – are protected.
"When a file is done, seeing our clients finally move on with their lives, and express that feeling to us, is the most rewarding part of our job," says Ritu.
In fact, they truly derive fulfillment and meaning in doing everything they can to help clients successfully and amicably close a chapter in their lives, and open a new one.
"In family law you are really helping people, you are helping families, you are helping children," says Reena.
So, if you are facing a family law issue, contact Horra Law to get the advice and guidance you need to deal with a difficult time, in the most efficient and sensitive way possible. Ritu and Reena Horra are with their clients every step of the way.

For the past three days, I've been going to the gym after work. As tired as I am, I literally force myself to go. By the time I reach there, hear the pumping music and see other people working out, I get motivated.
But I guess there's pros and cons for morning and evening gym. In my case, I like to focus on what I'm doing and don't really like talking *GASP* and *SHOCK*, right?! But when I'm on the treadmill sweating like a pig, I don't want someone talking to me. But the trainer at my gym who is really sweet and might I add, very well-built (!!!) keeps wanting to talk to me~!
So... Gym ---> Morning or Evening?

Trading Battle
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (MOGERA, Mogera?) is a U.N.-built mecha created by Toho that first appeared in the 1994 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A.'s Japanese name comes from the original Moguera, and is spelled "MOGERA." ("M.O.G.E.R.A.") The M.O.G.U.E.R.A. acronym stands for "Mobile Operation Godzilla Universal Expert Robot Aero-type."
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was a unique case in Toho's kaiju library, as it did not have any actual roars, but it did, however, have sounds for its engines and beam attacks. To make up for this fact, in Godzilla: Save the Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was given a voice and it could repeat its own name.
Additionally, in Godzilla Trading Battle, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. and Moguera were both given the same brief robotic footstep sound.
MOGUERA Sounds (Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla Godzilla Unleashed)
Moguera's sounds in the Heisei era
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was constructed from the left over pieces of Mechagodzilla in another attempt to kill Godzilla. It could split up into two different vehicles: Land Moguera and Star Falcon. It was first sent to fight SpaceGodzilla when he was detected flying toward Earth. M.O.G.U.E.R.A was sent flying out of control into space by SpaceGodzilla, but it managed to make it back to Earth. It was sent out again after repairs to engage SpaceGodzilla in Fukuoka, but pilot Akira Yuki, who held a grudge against Godzilla, redirected the mech and attacked Godzilla instead. The other pilots, Koji Shinjo and Kiyoshi Sato, knocked Yuki out and flew to Fukuoka. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. battled SpaceGodzilla alone until Godzilla arrived and joined the battle.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A.'s pilots decided to focus their attacks on SpaceGodzilla, and assist Godzilla in knocking out SpaceGodzilla's power source, the Fukuoka Tower. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. split into the Star Falcon and Land Moguera, and with Godzilla's help managed to destroy the tower. After reforming, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. managed to destroy SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals with its spiral grenade missiles.
Godzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. seemed to have the upper hand, but SpaceGodzilla responded by using his tail crystals to stab and throw M.O.G.U.E.R.A. at a building, causing it to become trapped. Shinjo and Sato escaped the downed mech, but Yuki stayed behind and attempted to fly M.O.G.U.E.R.A. back into the battle, only causing it to crash into another building and become catastrophically damaged. Shinjo rescued Yuki from the wreckage before Godzilla used his hyper spiral ray to finish SpaceGodzilla, which also destroyed M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in the process.
Moguera in Godzilla Island
In this series, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is one of the G-Guard Commander's mechs, along with Jet Jaguar (and his two variants) and MechaGodzilla. The Showa Moguera also appears, this time named "Proto-Moguera", and is acquired by G-Guard, but stolen by Zaguresu.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. has an expansive arsenal of weapons, essentially making it a mobile weapons platform. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is in fact, the mechanical kaiju who is most dependent on ranged weapons as a means of offense.
A drill bit is located in the center of its face, which can be used for close range fighting.
EMP bomb
In the video game Godzilla: Unleashed, the mole-based machine can launch an EMP bomb that instantly detonates and leaves a blast radius for a short duration; and in the game's predecessor can create a Photonic Storm, in which a huge ring of orange-and-blue-colored energy blasts out of M.O.G.U.E.R.A., hitting everything around it.
Hand mounted weaponry
Its cone-shaped hands are capable of releasing blue energy beams, known as auto-lasers. Furthermore, the hands can open up and launch Spiral Grenade missiles.
MECM
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was later modified with a new jamming system called the Magnetic & Electronic Counter Measure (MECM). This countermeasure prevents SpaceGodzilla from disabling M.O.G.U.E.R.A.'s control and weapon systems.
It can fly through earth's atmosphere at Mach 1 and through space at Mach 44. It is also capable of moving on land via independent leg action, or with the treads built into its feet and legs. These treads make M.O.G.U.E.R.A. faster than the average kaiju, and he can easily attack while moving at such fast speeds. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is the combined form of two vehicles: Land Moguera, a tracked armored fighting vehicle able to drill through the earth; and the Star Falcon, a VTOL craft capable of space flight.
Plasma cannons
The most heavily-utilized and standard weapon are the plasma laser cannons built into its eyes, which rapidly fire yellow plasma shots.
Plasma Maser
Its chest secretly conceals a Plasma Maser cannon, a powerful energy weapon.
Due to budget restraints, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. does not have heavy armor like its predecessor, Mechagodzilla, so its below average endurance could be considered a major weakness.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. appears in Godzilla: Save the Earth as M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 2, as well as in Godzilla: Unleashed and Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash, however, it is unplayable in the latter. Its special attack stat (projectiles and beams) and speed are significantly higher than most other monsters, but its physical offense and defense are very low.
To be effective in a fight, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. must attack from a distance while dodging and retreating, making him a hit-and-run fighter. When it runs out of energy, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. can temporarily shut down his power and recharge, though this makes it vulnerable as it temporarily cannot move.
MOGUERA 2 in Godzilla: Save the Earth
" M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was the GDF's first successful anti-monster robot, employing a wide variety of weapons and defensive systems linked by a powerful auto-targeting supercomputer. Although relatively effective, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was deemed too physically frail to continue to serve as the GDF's first plan of defense against monster threats. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is still in use today, but most often relegated to provide long-range support fire to the GDF's more modern anti-monster robots. "
— M.O.G.U.E.R.A. Godzilla: Unleashed bio
" M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is the premier anti-Godzilla combat weapon developed under the supervision of Professor Alexander Mammilov of the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center (UNGCC) for G-Force.
It is a combination of the "Land Moguera," a special tank that comprises its upper half, and the "Star Falcon," a large-scale fighter constituting its lower half. Its name is an acronym for "Mobile Operation Godzilla Universal Expert Robot Aero-Type". In addition to walking with its legs, it can also use the large-scale treads on each leg for high-speed maneuverability. It also features an enhanced anti-Godzilla fixed armament. When SpaceGodzilla was charging in from an asteroid belt to attack, it switched to a propulsion system that allowed it to intercept the incoming foe outside the atmosphere.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was originally a draft of a robot that was scrapped during the planning stages of "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II" (1993). "
— M.O.G.U.E.R.A. Kaiju Guide bio
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. made an appearance in the mobile title Godzilla: Kaiju Collection.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in Godzilla: Kaiju Collection
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla Manga
In this manga adaptation of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla by Shogakukan, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. has mostly the same role as in the film, but its fate and combat strategies are different.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is stolen by Akira Yuki, the main human protagonist, and is taken to Birth Island to use Little Godzilla to draw out Godzilla so he can kill him. G-Force sends the rebuilt Mechagodzilla to battle M.O.G.U.E.R.A., but it is destroyed by the newer mech.
However, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. and its pilot are knocked down by SpaceGodzilla after the cosmic kaiju attacks Birth Island. In addition, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. also suffers very little damage during the final battle with SpaceGodzilla, and is eventually taken back by the U.N.G.C.C.. However, Godzilla disarms the machine by breaking its weapon systems before he departs, wary that the humans could try to harm him and his son again.
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah Manga
In this manga (which is a sequel to the Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla manga), two new M.O.G.U.E.R.A. units, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 2 and 3, are introduced due to their predecessor having been phased out.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 3 is darker than M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 2, and has heavier armour plating. The two units are deployed by the U.N.G.C.C. in an attempt to stave off Godzilla's impending meltdown [2], but are both damaged beyond repair due to the massive increase in power Godzilla had received as his meltdown began.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. made its first IDW appearance in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #6, where it was sent to fight Gigan and Godzilla, who were battling in Las Vegas, Nevada.
When it arrived, it briefly fought Gigan and was soon caught by the massive hands of Orga, who pulled M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in half. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was able to transform into Star Falcon and Land Moguera and assisted in fighting the two alien kaiju until Jet Jaguar arrived and destroyed Orga temporarily.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A later took part in the large brawl against the Trilopods alongside Kiryu and Godzilla. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. rammed itself into the frozen Baragon-Trilopod after it was hit by Kiryu's Absolute Zero, but was later torn apart by the Kumonga-Trilopod and Titanosaurus-Trilopod.
Strangely, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is later seen battling Magita despite having been destroyed beforehand, and is not seen afterwards. This may just be a mistake on the part of the artist, or an act of retroactive continuity which was implemented too late to affect the earlier pages of the final issue.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. was present in Rio de Janeiro at some point during the battle between Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla in issue #3, but was defeated. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. can be seen wedged in a pile of broken buildings, with the left side of its head and left shoulder on fire. Nearby, the remains of what appears to be Kiryu's arm can be seen, indicating that both mechas were sent to take part in the battle but destroyed.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A.'s role in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla was originally going to be filled by Mechagodzilla, but in order to balance the fight between Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla, Toho decided to bring back and update the weaker Moguera from The Mysterians instead.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is the only Godzilla kaiju that can say its own name, let alone speak, though only in Godzilla: Save the Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed. Some say that this could be a reference to Pokémon. This could also be partly inspired by the Ultraman series kaiju Zetton, who also primarily speaks his name.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. could be considered the "grand-child" of Mecha-King Ghidorah, as it was constructed from the wreckage of Mechagodzilla, who was himself constructed from Mecha-King Ghidorah's wreckage.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is a tribute to Showa Moguera from The Mysterians, sharing most of the same characteristics.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is the heaviest mecha in the Godzilla series, weighing in at 160,000 metric tons, 10,000 metric tons heavier than the Heisei Mechagodzilla.

        ],
       created_at: "2018-08-23"
     }
}

A: This can simply be done with Arrays of Objects instead of creating New Schemas. I don't know if there might be some implications for the optimization.
    attributes: [{

This is following the official Mongoose documentation.

A: You can try this
const sampleSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    data: {

    }
});

const dataSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: String,

Q: PID controller - How is plant equation derived? During our control systems course we often work on control techniques where the plant equation/state space model is given .However , how are these derived? For example, if I wanted to build a soldering iron or just an ordinary iron . How should I go about modelling it as a plant and applying what I learnt in theory?

A: PID really isn't appropriate for soldering irons. A simple proportional loop with high gain is a much better investment. The big problem is that the iron works in two regimes, resting and loaded, and the loaded regime is very badly defined.
Starting with the available heater power, the mass of the coil and tip, and the surface area of the hot section of the iron, you can get an idea of the temperature sensitivity of the iron. Thermal impedance from coil to air is the important factor, with the heat capacity providing another constraint on time to reach desired temperature.
A PID can be used to reach operating temperature in minimum time and maximum accuracy, but the working temperature is typically not extremely precise (a degree or so for extremely demanding applications, or 10 degrees for a "real life" soldering iron.
The thing is, once you go to actually soldering, the amount of heat you need depends greatly on exactly what you're soldering. A big, heavy wire or buss bar will require much more heat than an IC lead, and the thermal lag in the iron tip will mean that response times of a few seconds can be expected, and will depend on the target.
So, depending on what you're soldering, the plant model changes and you cannot optimally tune a PID. A simple proportional loop will work adequately for any likely real-world soldering iron.

A: Knowing the transfer function of the plant is truly the starting point before attempting to close the loop. There are several ways to characterize a plant:

*

*Experimental data: build a prototype and collect data on the bench. If I speak for a switching converter, assemble selected components and characterize its control-to-output dynamic response. You must identify what is the control variable (the duty ratio \$D\$ in this example) and what is the output variable (\$V_{out}\$ the output voltage). The dynamic analysis is usually done with a frequency-response analyser (FRA) which plots the transfer function by exciting the plant control variable \$D\$ at various frequency points while computing and storing the magnitude and phase observed in the output variable \$V_{out}\$: you obtain a Bode plot of the plant, \$H(s)=\frac{V_{out}(s)}{D(s)}\$.

*Simulation: you have a model of your system and you enrich it with parasitic elements to faithfully reproduce its operating environment. For a switching converter, it means taking a model of the switching core and adding parasitic elements such as capacitor and inductor equivalent resistances (ESR, respectively labelled \$r_C\$ and \$r_L\$) or MOSFET and diode resistive drops etc. to produce a computer model of the plant. You start with the simplest model and increase complexity depending on the amount of details you need. This is usually an iterative process: you must compare your model's results to the bench data before validating the model. Once this is done, you can carry the analysis in the computer (characterize the control-to-output plant transfer function) and even close the loop before reproducing the circuit on the bench.

*Analytical analysis: this is a pure mathematical approach in which you start from a non-linear equation describing the control-to-output transfer function (perhaps obtained from bench data also) and you linearise it around an operating point. From there, you can obtain its small-signal dynamic response and infer the right compensation strategy. The important point here is to organize the transfer function in a low-entropy format meaning that you factor the equation so that poles, zeros and gains (or attenuations) are clearly organized. That way, you can identify what element in the plant contributes a pole or a zero and understand how this element is going to move in temperature, production etc. and see how the whole response is affected. Then, you will design the compensator so that these offenders (\$r_C\$ and \$r_L\$ for instance) do not compromise the integrity of the closed-loop system once released to production. This is a very important aspect that must not be overlooked and is often ignored when people compensate by trial and error.
As you can read, there is no single answer to your question. My experience taught me however that combining the 3 above points is the recipe to successfully compensating a given system.

10m² with Artek: how big is small?
At Salone del Mobile 2018 Artek is asking "How big is small?", exploring the potential of smaller spaces. As cities are growing denser and space is becoming scarcer, the topic gains relevance again today. Since the 1930s, Artek has provided clever solutions for compact spaces that are suited to the current moment. Intelligent and versatile, classic and contemporary designs serve multiple purposes and take on diverse roles. A Kaari Wall Shelf doubles as a desk; a Stool 60 is both side table and display. Flexible, multipurpose, and highly functional, Artek solutions provide maximum efficiency in minimum space.
While scaling down may be a necessity, it can also be a lifestyle choice. In a display of less than 10 m² Artek showcases the transversal functionality and small footprint of both classic and contemporary products, demonstrating that even spaces of limited proportions can be beautifully and intelligently furnished to serve different needs.


HUNTSVILLE, Al. — A couple on their way to the hospital was driving a little too fast, but the officer that pulled them over got a big surprise!
But when Shawna started screaming, Trooper Michael Kesler didn't hesitate.
Danny said he helped guide the baby out, and Kesler brought towels to wrap up the baby and called an ambulance. Kesler coordinated directions between the family doctor via cell phone and EMS, and accompanied the family to the hospital. He even purchased flowers, cupcakes, and a newborn 'starter kit to bring to bring to the new parents in t he hospital.
"I got to witness a 6 pound 10 ounce baby being born and it made my day worth coming to work," says Kesler.
Danny says he's trying to convince his wife to change little Barrett's middle name to Michael.

Because we are perhaps the one place that has seen a popular uprising against the established political and economic order which did not result in a right-wing demagogue or racist and xenophobic rhetoric.

Final Ranger 8 Pictures Taken 1/2 Second Before Impact
Historical Date: February 20, 1965
Final pictures taken by the Ranger 8 P-camera about 1/2 second before impact. Impact occurred on 20 February 1965 at 9:57:36.256 UT. The images are ordered (clockwise from upper left) P3, P4, P2, P1. Impact occurred before transmission of the image P4 was complete, hence the static over most of the image. The areas shown are in Mare Tranquillitatus (Sea of Tranquillity) about 60 km north of the Apollo 11 landing site. Image P3 was taken 0.489 seconds before impact, from a distance of 1.09 km. The image is about 140 meters across. Image P1 was taken 0.689 seconds before impact from 1.52 km and is 60 meters across. Image P2 was taken 0.289 seconds prior to impact from 640 meters. The frame is 30 meters across. North is up on all images. (Ranger 8, P020)

Sharing my passion for papercrafting and showing you how easy it can be!
My girls have been looking forward to this day for awhile now – hope my little love offerings on the kitchen table will be met with joy, love and appreciation! Or at the very least, no sneers and tears!
My cards to them were inspired by Pinterest. Have you been sucked into the Pinterest world? I have. Somewhat. If you'd like to follow me I can be found here. Not sure what the heck I'm talking about? Pinterest is a web site that allows you to set up virtual pin boards for different interests. (For instance, I've recently created a Valentine's Day Ideas board.) As you're trolling the internet looking for inspiration, instead of printing off images to stick to your actual bulletin board above your desk, you can 'pin' the image to your Pinterest board and visit them whenever you want. Others can follow your boards and be inspired by you and vice versa.
So now that you know the premise, let me tell you why I felt the need for the mini lesson! Today over at Practical Scrappers, we are featuring many different Valentine's projects all inspired by images found on Pinterest. Make sure you check them out!
This was the image I chose as my inspiration. It originally came from a site called Fern Smith's Classroom Ideas.
I love the recycling of paint swatches, the punched out hearts, the ombre colours (a really hot trend still) and the fact that they are book marks!
But I wanted to make cards to I used the ombre idea, the pinks and reds and the punched hearts as my ultimate inspiration and made these.
I went into my card stock scrap bag and pulled out all my Stampin' Up pinks and reds. After playing around with the various colours I came up with this gradation. But I felt each layer needed a little something so I used one of my border punches to create added texture.
The stamps you see on the hearts are an old SU stamp set (it was in my "to be sold" pile but I may have to rethink that now!) I popped up one heart on pop dots and added a heart shaped gem for a bit of sparkle. Every little girl likes a bit of bling, right?
I am SO pleased with these! I know my girls are a bit young to appreciate them like I do but … it makes me happy to make beautiful things. In the end, that's all that matters!
Hope you are having a fantastic Valentine's Day! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I've managed to inspire you a little.

FAST and furious. That's how some countries reacted to Donald Trump's shithole insult two weeks ago. Botswana screamed while South Africa fumed.
But the time they responded the Trump chariot had moved on to fanning new controversies on Twitter. Across the globe some countries took offense to Trump's remarks.
Even those that were obviously not included in the shithole bracket jumped into the fray with angry statements and a few staged demonstrations.
Some of it was borrowed anger. Other leaders grabbed to chance to deflect attention from their incompetence and dictatorial tendencies. Here was an opportunity to remind their people although their governments might treat them as shitholes that they should not tolerate such insults from leaders of other countries.
African leaders think only they have the right to insult their own people.
They had found a rare chance to fire cheap shots at America and its slow president.
It was hilarious to see whole countries banding over a non-event triggered by a president whose low acumen has long been accepted by the people he leads.
The jury has long submitted its verdict on Trump. He is not that deep. In Lesotho some Facebook activists tried to poke the government to join the craze. How dare our government goes on voicemail when Botswana is condemning Trump, they asked as if there was someone ready to answer their mundane enquiry.
In our exuberance and stampede to defend ourselves from the irritant called Trump we missed the salient message of his statement.
Africans should accept that theirs are truly shithole countries unable to feed their citizens. This is not about empty mantras about patriotism and national pride but reality.
Africa itself is generally a shithole. It just depends where each country stands on that shithole spectrum. Some countries are little shitholes while others are gigantic shitholes.
That Trump has called us as such does not change our sorry statuses as countries.
Muckraker suspects what really angered countries like Botswana and South Africa is that Trump put them in the same league with countries they view as hopeless shitholes.
South Africans, for instance, don't think they are the same as the rest of Africans.
Batswana like to think that they have earned the right to be separated from the rest of the miserable African. It therefore riles them that even after their strenuous efforts to distinguish themselves from riffraff another president still cannot tell the difference.
The other point is that there is nothing new with what Trump said about African countries.
In fact each country thinks it's is a better shithole than the next.
South Africans, for instance, think Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia and Malawi are filthy places. They think all those immigrants flocking into their country are running away from their dirty countries. They are right but they conveniently forget that they too are living in a shithole.
No wonder they have no qualms lynching them when they feel like it.
It is not by chance that Botswana closes its borders at 10 pm. They want to keep out muck from grubby places. They too think people from many other African countries are slurry.
Even down-on-their-luck people like Zimbabweans had a similar attitude towards their neighbours when things were fine and dandy.
Back then when Zambia was suffering from Kaunda and Malawi had a long Kamuzu Banda-induced dysentery, Zimbabweans were a haughty lot that made cruel jokes about their neighbours.
That was before Mugabe humbled them with his excessive doses of brazen brutality, breath-taking incompetence and mind-boggling thievery that pushed them to the bottom of the gutter. Basotho too think those who come from the north are from shithole countries.
So while South Africans insult us we also have our salvos for other people.
It is good that Basotho largely refused to clamber the bandwagon to condemn Trump's slur. It's not that we are timid but because we know where our bread is buttered.
We know how America's benevolence keeps people in the sweatshops we call factories and how many hungry mouths it feeds.
We know how the billions we received from the Yankees transformed this country's roads and health sector.
Yet there is a much more compelling reason to explain our aloofness to the insult.
Deep in our hearts we probably know that Trump was right.
And even if we might feel a little bit of irritation we also know that there is nothing that Trump said that we don't say about people of our kind.
Time and again we have referred to other political parties as shitholes. Indeed we have described other districts as shitholes. We even have villages we describe as filthy.
But worse of all is how we also describe other families as shitholes.
Muckraker cannot understand why Africans should be angry at all.
Surely a continent that cannot feed itself deserves no other description apart from what Trump gave it.
Muckraker also suspects that the anger at Trump comes from a simple miscomprehension of what the word shithole means. While the word conjures an image of a whole that is part of our anatomy, its meaning is entirely different.
The word, as used by Trump, simply means an extremely dirty, shabby or unpleasant place. There is no denying that the majority of Africa is a dirty, shabby and unpleasant place.
To argue against that description will be self-delusional.
It is telling that South Africa, a country where millions of people live in squalid shanty towns, did not see the irony of fuming over being called a shithole.
Now those are shithole heads shaking violently at being called citizens of a shithole country.
One of the biggest problems with the ABC is that it is too huge a tent. So in it you find the most sophisticated people and dimwits. That is to be expected.
What is however scary is that even when you think you have seen the worst of its worst there always comes one who startles you.
Muckraker is still reeling from her encounter with Montoeli Masoetsa's virulent attack on Colonel Tanki Mothae, the Principal Secretary of Defence and Security.
Colonel Mothae was minding his own business when Masoetsa decided to call him a disloyal man hobnobbing with enemies of the government.
Masoetsa simply concocted that outlandish theory from a number of unrelated coincidences. The first is that Colonel Mothae lives in Ladybrand so he has to be consorting with exiled opposition leaders living there.
The second is that Colonel Mothae has to be a disloyal person because his bodyguards are from the military intelligence.
So according to Masoetsa one plus one makes eleven. The answer two has to be wrong because the plus sign between the figures is just meant to complicate things for nothing.
What is worrying is that Masoetsa did not see prudence in keeping such inane thoughts to himself. He just had to parade them at a market.
He was desperate to sell his pathetic ideas like a vendor hawking overly ripe tomatoes on a scotching summer day.
Had he kept his thoughts to himself he would have probably gone berserk. Judging by his eloquence it is clear that those ideas have been troubling his mind for months.
They were threatening to bolt out through the nose and ears. The man just had to open his mouth to let them out.
It is astounding that unmitigated disasters like Masoetsa are allowed near a microphone at public gatherings.
There should be a simple test for such men before they are allowed within the vicinity of a podium. A breathalyzer will be expensive.
So Muckraker suggests the tried and tested method of asking him to stand on one leg with his hands spread out. The other one is to ask him to count his fingers.
Muckraker has no doubt Masoetsa will dismally fail these simple tests.
Colonel Mothae should take Masoetsa's rants as a fart in an August wind. He should also forgive Masoetsa for it is clear that it was not him but some substance speaking.
Muckraker's late grandmother always said if you ululate for a fool at a funeral you should not be shocked when he starts molesting the corpse.
The old woman was a bit dramatic. Muckraker would say if you ululate for a fool taking a bath at a market you should not be startled when he swallows the soap.

Valéry Mayet (Lyon, 2 de janeiro de 1839 – 1909) foi um entomologista francês. Foi professor de zoologia em Montpellier na École nationale d'agriculture.

Biografia
Com Galien Mingaud, diretor do Museu de História Natural de Nîmes, Valéry Mayet alertou a comunidade científica e alguns tomadores de decisão e assim salvaram os últimos indivíduos da população relíquia de castores-europeus na França. Em 1891, Mayet obteve a abolição do prêmio pela destruição dos castores, quando esta espécie estava quase exterminada na França e em grande parte da Europa. Mingaud obteve, então, o status de proteção para os últimos castores nativos nos departamentos de Bouches-du-Rhône, Gard e Vaucluse. É o primeiro animal a se beneficiar de uma medida de salvaguarda.

That's happened to me before even before the update. It's weiiiird. And unpredictable.
Seems ok on a different gun, so I have no idea what's going on.
Edit: ok, so worked it out - orientation of the firing piece matters rather than orientation of the mantlet.
Is anyone having a problem with missiles? It seems that the gantries, connectors and launchpads no longer detect missile connections.
Other than that, pistons don't seem to be doing anything from a cursory test. Even when extending, nothing seems to be happening.
I mentioned this on the discord to Gladyon, but it wouldn't hurt to have it here too. I'd like to see the copy/paste function to also be extended to LAMS nodes, laser warners, as setting those up with non-default settings takes enough time that I've found myself really wanting it.
FtD completion time: maybe ever.

I noticed that "activate x seconds after spawn" seems a bit redundant now, unless you want something to activate 2-4mins after spawn (0-2mins can be set using delay and "on spawn"). Had another digit before, which made fine-tuning some stuff easier.
So could we get another digit for that, or, even better, the delay?
Wanted to play ftd again and turns out this update came out, it kinda refused to properly load the designers and campaign.
Solution was to rename the ftd folder in my documents, then uninstall and reinstall(steam validate installation didn't do the trick) the game through steam as it appears to be working again now.
I think some mod most have been stuck and didn't want to disable or something as the error was talking about some weapon config not being correct.
I've disabled all mods, same result. The piston GUI says its extending, but nothing's happening. I've tried putting blocks on top of the piston in case the extendable part isn't visible, but no difference there. Is there some specific way it's supposed to work?

"The more we try to draw borders between clean and dirty, order and chaos, the more opportunities are created for political acts that expose the unstable and fragile nature of the imposed categories of of modernity and the institutions responsible for upholding them" (The Excess of Modernity; Garbage Politics in Oaxaca, Mexico, 2009).
Garbage left on the streets worries us. Might it make us sick? Will it kick off environmental imbalances and catalyze exponential increases to the rat population? The garbage strike becomes the basis for fear at a very, very deep level and it brings us face-to-face with conflicts and tensions that we would rather wish away.
Uncollected trash exists as an insult to the notion of how far we have come as a human race, to how completely we have transcended the problems so endemic to the "pre-industrial city," a place, as Lofland describes it, where "the sheer filth of the streets" was commonplace and garbage as well as human and animal excrement were part of the everyday landscape of the urban (A World of Strangers 32). Many people have come to believe that the modern city has little or no connection to the nightmare Lofland describes; by contrast, it is a place in which we should never (or rarely) see or smell our waste. If the garbage cannot be cleared away, something must be wrong in Denmark at the very core of the waste society. The issue is Platonic; notions of the good and the beautiful pull so strongly against the presence of garbage in the streets. In the midst of the strike, borders and prohibitions become fuzzy, porosities emerge, and most importantly, the categories of modernity begin to vibrate.

This really made me think. There is such a fine line between perfect appearance and utter chaos.
Yes, we take urban order for granted.

1 Comment on 'Reclaiming Work' Directors Usayd Younis & Cassie Quarless on using film to build an alternative future
Usayd Younis is a documentary director and digital journalist, while Cassie Quarless is a feature director/producer with a background in comedy and documentary shorts. The Reclaiming Work and Generation Revolution Directors spoke to Indy Film Library on using their punchy, stylistic brand of filmmaking to show audiences alternatives to the hyper-exploitation of the gig-economy.
We've previously reviewed films which have a progressive message, but the language they deploy and actions they promote arguably only preach to the converted, and alienate broader audiences. As the left looks to recover in 2020, how can radical filmmakers change their storytelling to reach new audiences and encourage them to join the fight back?
We're not sure that we can necessarily provide a prescription for what other filmmakers should be doing in order to capture new audiences but for us the key is really that point: the storytelling. It's important to find people that audiences connect with and care about, the right characters to bring us into new worlds to allow us to think about things in ways that we might not have done in the past.
One of the things that we think a lot about is the artistry of what we do. In 2020, people are accustomed to slick; well produced content on every platform, and documentaries shouldn't be an exception. As artists it's important that not only the content but also the form is fresh and exciting.
Reclaiming Work is the second film you have worked on together – not every pair of directors wants to ever see each other again after one production, let alone start a new one – what brought you back for more?
We feel that there is a lot of common ground in how we see the world and the role that documentary films can play in it. We see documentary as a means through which to encourage and affect change. That was one of the main things that brought us together in the first place. We felt that it was necessary to be making films that were produced to the same standard as commercial/independent documentary output but that was also focused on calling into question some of the oppressive structures that hold the world together like for example Capitalism, White Supremacy and Patriarchy.
Reclaiming Work focuses on La Pájara Ciclomensajería, a group of young people looking to change the world by launching a food delivery co-operative. Could you elaborate on the social/economic pressures their decision to launch a co-op was responding to – and how this project differs from those?
For the members of La Pajara and the couriers more generally, the thing that played a huge part for them was that they actually enjoyed certain aspects of being gig economy riders. They enjoyed riding their bikes all day; they enjoyed not necessarily having to have a boss breathing down your neck, not being in an office etc. However, there was also this massive pressure that the gig economy companies didn't really care about them and were not really interested in compensating their labour properly. So the co-operative kind of came out of them trying to square that circle: How do we keep doing this job that we quite enjoy but also get the pay and respect that we deserve?
We can't really speak to the pressures forcing other co-operatives to set up but from our observations there is definitely an impulse to create an infrastructure that is fairer and that allows workers to actually have more control over their destinies.
How do you hope your film might intervene with the debates surrounding the often hyper-exploitative world of the gig economy?
We were really excited by the work that both La Pajara and Coopcycle were doing. In a lot of ways we viewed them as a test case study for other people working under gig economy conditions but also in other domains. What they have been able to achieve on both the local and European scale should encourage people to think about what they can do in their own locales. It's been really interesting reading through the YouTube comments where we've hosted the film (Novara Media in the UK, Mediapart in France and Means.TV in the US); people have consistently been asking about the existence of similar initiatives in their local areas or alternatively have expressed their desires to set something up if other people were keen. That is precisely the kind of intervention that we wanted.
We want people to see that there are alternatives to the hyper-exploitative workings of capitalism, not just the gig economy, and to think about how exactly they can fight back.
The film is fast-paced, up-beat and comes across as openly optimistic about the future of La Pájara Ciclomensajería. While that might serve to energise viewers, it might also be argued that it's a little vague on the details of the work itself – especially for a documentary about an apparently world-changing idea – and there don't seem to be many instances on screen where you push your subjects for clarification. Is there a reason as filmmakers that you felt it was more appropriate to focus on promoting the organisation than to take a more in-depth or critically supportive stance during filming?
The film seeks to present a new idea to viewers, namely that of technology-driven worker owned cooperatives as an alternative to corporate ran 'gig' platforms like Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Whilst there are many nuances that can be explored here, with the limitations of a 7 minute film and the desire to keep the viewers' attention, we felt it was best to lay out the core idea and to show that those involved are doing this because they believe workers deserve better conditions than those currently on offer.
It is no secret that both CoopCycle and the cooperatives affiliated to it are in their infancy, so attempting to unpick their efforts at this stage didn't feel like a worthwhile pursuit. It is clearly a difficult challenge and we wish them the best of success with it.
One of the questions I have about the nuts and bolts of La Pájara Ciclomensajería is where the power in the co-op lies. Each employee holds a stake in the business in terms of profits for example, but does every employee have an equal vote in company affairs?
You'll have to put this one to the Pajara team I'm afraid! CoopCycle have a requirement that those who use their tools are worker-owned cooperatives, but we didn't get a chance to explore the details of La Pajara's manifesto. As it is a pretty small outfit, I'm fairly sure they do have an equal say and an even split.
I'd also like to elaborate on the idea at the heart of the film; the brand of Marxism cited as accelerationism, which claims that using the latest tools 'created by capitalism' on behalf of workers can supersede that economic system, and see it replaced with socialism, without the need for wider resistance. Co-operatives have existed for hundreds of years, while industrialists like Robert Owen sought to couple them with the latest in technological advancements to build a new and fairer society. As honourable as that might be, such projects seem to have failed to compete with capitalism – let alone supersede it for a number of reasons. For example, as they don't fear redundancy, workers in co-ops might be less willing to exploit themselves to the same degree – making it harder to turn a profit on them – while the extensive collective decision-making of co-operatives is often outpaced by the ruthless single-minded leadership of a top-down business. At the same time, a lack of access to credit, and private and state violence have also often been deployed to put such movements down. Is it really enough to say that the internet and smartphones (the production and maintenance of which still both rest in the hands of capitalists) will be enough to see this succeed, this time?
I should start by saying that it's important to distinguish the views of the characters in the film from ours as the filmmakers. Mex from CoopCycle specifically talks about accelerationism as a way of 'using the tools' of capitalism to implement socialism, and to us that is an interesting idea particularly in the area of work that they are in. However I don't think he's suggesting that this will be 'enough' to overthrow capitalism alone.
I think it's important to consider the effect the micro can have on the macro, and this is a good example of utilising both age-old methods of cooperative organising combined with the modern tools developed by the likes of Uber to take a certain area of labour back into the workers control. It is quite subversive to say "we'll take your tools minus the exploitation, thank you very much".
As for whether it'll succeed, I think that you can argue it already is. I don't see it as a capitalism/socialism binary, but rather any progress towards creating a more equitable and fairer world is a step forward. It's true that resisting the behemoth of business is no easy task, but what is inspiring about CoopCycle is the opportunity for numerous global incarnations to be born out of it, with each having its own local impact.
After seeing this on Novara Media's YouTube account, one friend put it to me that on a basis of pure accelerationism, this model would be difficult to export to other parts of the economy. Capitalists own the factories and farms and workshops, as well as the raw materials needed to make the necessities of life, and the rest of society doesn't. As he said, "you can't digitise a farm," so even if we assume the ideas do work this time for bike couriering, beyond the service industries, do you think this is a practicable idea for overhauling the current economic status-quo?
I don't think there is a "one size fits all" alternative to current modes of working, and I don't think the folks in the film would suggest that either. What's important here are the underlying principles of cooperation and taking an ethical approach to labour, the environment and so on. When it comes to farming, for example, it might not require a radical overhaul but simply to return to more eco-friendly and less aggressive manners of working the earth, free from pesticides and so on. Digitisation isn't what's being argued for here, but for the repurposing of tools for better labour practises.
My nit-picking aside, what has the feedback been like for Reclaiming Work?
The film has been received incredibly well, with many wanting to know how they can either get involved in a local cooperative like the ones in the film, or how they can support groups that work in more ethical ways to the corporate giants. Our aim was to draw attention to the possibility of alternative modes of work and I believe we achieved that with this film.
Do you have any future projects lined up at the moment? How will they differ from your previous output?
We have been working on a feature film about the legacy of Malcolm X for a few years now. The scale of this project is much larger and more ambitious than our previous works and very much falls in line with our objectives of making film that centres critical stories of people of colour on screen. We are also developing a few other projects so watch this space! You can find out more on our website.

Dictator Chavez in Cuba receiving treatment
From Fox News Latino:
Venezuela President Hugo Chávez is now battling bone metastasis from his pelvic cancer, according to a report by Spanish newspaper ABC. Citing an unnamed intelligence source, ABC's Washington correspondent Emil J. Blasco says there has been a recurrence and spread of the tumor, which was detected in a test performed on a trip to Havana just after the elections on October 7.
Blasco said the metastasis is causing Chavez "severe pain in the left femur and serious walking difficulties." He also says that Chavez passed out twice in August, losing consciousness briefly, and that doctors determined that his situation was deteriorating slowly but steadily.
Chavez last appeared publicly during a televised meeting on Nov. 15, prompting some critics to publicly wonder where he went after his election win.
During the electoral campaign, he repeatedly dismissed rumors that he had not been cured of his cancer, and vowed to serve out his six-year term.
The treatment that Chavez is said to be undergoing in Havana involves breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurized, sealed chamber. Its value is well-established for treating burns, carbon monoxide poisoning and some other medical conditions, and to aid wound healing and help repair bone and tissue damaged by radiation treatments.
However, the American Cancer Society says there is no evidence the treatment can cure cancer. And Blasco notes that if hyperbaric oxygen treatment were the case, Chavez could have stayed in Venezuela, since the country boasts of having the latest technology on this kind of equipment (his brother Adam presented a "next generation" of those chambers in 2009 as governor of Barinas state).
Also, a hyperbaric chamber is a portable device that could be installed in the special clinic Chavez has at his home in La Orchila.
The 58-year-old president first underwent cancer treatment in Cuba in June 2011 and suffered a relapse in February. He has since said he's recovered from the pelvic cancer and won re-election in October.
Throughout his previous chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Chavez kept many details of his illness secret, including the type of cancer and the precise location of the tumors.
Cuba's official newspaper Granma said that Chavez arrived on the island Tuesday at the break of dawn, "in order to continue medical treatment following as part of strengthening their health, which will include several sessions oxygenation hyperbaric."
There were no photos of his arrival in Havana or departure from Caracas, unlike other times he's made the trip.
Venezuelan officials did not say how long he will stay in Havana, though they said he would be back by Jan. 10, when he is being sworn in for a fourth term.

Since most all art festivals are open to the public, here are a few reasons to attend these free weekend events.
1. You will get the opportunity to meet the artists who actually create their own work and begin a relationship with them. Traveling to art festivals not only gives you the opportunity to know and see other parts of the country, but it gives you a chance to follow your favorite artists over the years and watch their work evolve.
2. Interact and get to know specific artists and fine crafters from the local area of the show. Learn what specific things they draw inspiration from, regionally.
3. Art fairs give you the opportunity to commission unique pieces of art- allowing a more personalized work. Some artists will even create specific artwork or commemorative pieces for an art festival.

It's a New Year, and a chance to start 2012 off by committing yourself to employing the very best marketing techniques to connect with customers, capture important information, and increase sales.
Buying a piece of art is an investment. The sale of your fine work far exceeds a financial investment on behalf of the patron. The purchase is also an investment in a relationship. Fostering good relations with patrons is crucial to not only making a sale, but to gaining a long-term customer.
Before each show, make yourself a marketing checklist to ensure you are getting maximum exposure during the show. A few minutes of prep time can make a huge difference.
***On the Thursday prior to the show, log on to www.artfestival.com and find your space number.
***Post a photo of your work and your space number on our facebook page www.facebook.com/HowardAlanEvents so that people know where to find you.

Business cards that include all pertinent information: your website, facebook page, email address, telephone number, and your medium.
When you are at the show, be engaging. Answer questions, explain your process, foster a warm and inviting environment where patrons feel welcome and at ease. Always remember that patrons are there to see you and your work. Don't miss an opportunity to build your client base and increase your sales!
A lot can happen between a patron taking your business card and the time when they are ready to purchase your work. Be proactive in gathering their contact information so you can remain in control of the conversation. By sending out emails that include information about your work and what shows you are participating in, patrons are more apt to attend if they know you will be there.

Untitled (Echo Rock Formation at The Confluence of Yampa River and Green River, NW Colorado)
Artist Nadine Kent Drummond (1912–1966, American)
Dimensions 28 1/8 x 37 7/8 inches
Nadine Kent Drummond was born September 2, 1912 in Trinidad, Colorado. She attended East High School in Denver and graduated from Colorado College in Colorado Springs in 1934. College provided her the opportunity to study and work with well-known artists such as Boardman Robinson, Arnold Blanch and Adolph Dehn. Drummond was also mentored by German Expressionist Max Beckmann at the University of Colorado in Boulder, about 1941. Drummond completed a mural for the Federal Government during the 1930s. She belonged to an artists' club in San Francisco and in the early 1950s she became a member of the avant-garde modernist group 15 Colorado Artists. Drummond taught landscape and life painting at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and exhibited widely throughout the United States, winning prizes at the Nebraska Six States exhibition and elsewhere. She was chosen as one of twelve women artists of the West for an exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and was awarded the prestigious Silver Medal of Paris in 1951. Drummond suffered the death of one of her sons, the early death of her husband in 1961 and separation from her only other son, who was sent to the Vietnam War. Drummond then passed away at the young age of 54 in 1966. For her relatively short life, Drummond was a pioneer in expressionist and modern art in Colorado.

Q: RCP and external browser inclusion I'm working on an RCP desktop application and I'm showing google map on the embedded eclipse org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser class. Now, this class uses the default browser or whatever browser you specify.
The problem is when the app is going to be installed on the client machines, I have no guarantee that they would have anything higher than IE5 installed.
My question is, is there any way to include in my packaging a browser to ensure the compatibility of the libraries while it's transparent for the user?

A: In order to define a specific browser, SWT only offers to specify SWT.WERBKIT or SWT.MOZILLA. And both flags require their respective prerequisits.
See https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusewebkit for how to explicitly use WebKit or https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusemozilla for how to explicitly use Mozilla.
Hence, to my knowledge, your only option is to make sure that either of the two environments are installed on the respective platform when rolling out your application. At a first glance, installing the XULRunner (Mozilla) alongside your applications seems to be the easier option of th two.
But before going down that route I'd rather investigate how likely it actually is that your application will run on a platform that only has an outdated IE installed.
