20 Signs Your Dog is Happy
By Helen Anne Travis
Owning a dog requires a certain degree of psychic ability. You may find yourself asking: What is she trying to tell me with that bark? Does that tail wag mean she's happy or scared? Is she following me around the house because she loves me, or is she just hungry?
While we can't teach you how to speak dog, we can help you understand which behaviors and body language signals could indicate your pup is happy and content, as well as signs that something could be wrong.
Of course all animals are different, and as dogs age their activity levels and sociability may change. But the following signs indicate your dog is most likely happy, and more importantly, healthy.
Puppy-Dog Eyes
Happy dogs have relaxed eyes and eyelids. They blink often and their gaze is soft, says Beth Mullen, director of behavior and training at Washington Humane Society. Narrowed eyes and a hard gaze can indicate aggression, she says, while wide eyes, particularly if they whites are showing, could mean the dog is frightened.
At-Ease Ears
Ear shapes vary from breed to breed, but in general, happy dogs wear their ears in a relaxed fashion, says Mullen. One ear may be cocked up, or both may be loose and floppy. If a dog's ears are pinned back, it could be a sign of fear or aggression, says Dr. Rachel Barrack of New York City's Animal Acupuncture. Ears pricked forward often indicate that a dog is interested in something that is going on around them.
Relaxed Mouth
Happy dogs sometimes appear to smile, says Dr. Georgette Wilson, DVM, the director of scientific and regulatory affairs and resident veterinarian at Hartz. The mouth is open, and while some teeth may be visible, the animal is not baring them or curling back its lips in an aggressive manner, she says. Open mouth panting should not be confused with smiling, as this could be a sign the dog is stressed or overheated, says Barrack.
Relaxed Body
One of the quickest ways to tell whether a dog is happy is to look at the way the dog carries herself, says Tonya Wilhelm, dog-training specialist and author of several training books. A loose, soft, wiggly body usually means a dog is happy and healthy, she says. "On the other hand, if a dog seems tense, tight or stiff, they are less comfortable."
Tail Movement
"Happy dogs wag their tails in a manner that involves the whole body," says Barrack. If the tail wags stiffly but doesn't shake the rest of the body, your dog may be telling you she's alert and assessing a new situation, she says.
"If the tail wag is soft and loose and typically held in a more neutral position on the body, this is likely a happy dog," says Wilhelm.
"When a dog is content and comfortable, his entire body is relaxed, including his tail," says Wilhelm. "Each dog has a different relaxed tail carriage, depending on the breed." In general, a happy dog will raise his tail, she says, but if it's too high, that could indicate the pup is agitated or over stimulated. A tail pinned under the body is a strong sign of fear, says Barrack.
Non-Destructive Behavior
Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs, as they use their mouths to explore their environments, says Barrack. But excessive chewing, particularly in an adult dog, could also be a sign of stress or boredom.
"Happy dogs are unlikely to destroy your home or act naughty because they have enough physical and mental stimulation," says Barrack. "Destructive behavior is typically a sign of boredom and unhappiness." Separation anxiety is another common cause of extremely destructive behavior in dogs.
Enjoys Playtime
Happy dogs enjoy playtime and walks, says Barrack. "While all dogs slow down with age, if your dog seems abnormally quiet or reluctant to engage, this may be a sign they're not feeling well," she says. Bring your dog to the vet to make sure she isn't sick or injured.
Healthy Appetite
Content canines have good appetites, says Barrack. While not every dog is ravenous, she says, a sudden drop in appetite could be a sign something is wrong. Conversely, an unexpected increase in appetite can also be a symptom of disease.
Happy dogs often hop, says Mullen. Or at least they look like they're hopping or dancing when they see someone (or some dog) they like. The quick movements usually indicate the dog is happy and ready to play. "You'll see a happy dog bounce from side to side, usually in excitement to see her canine or human friend," says Mullen.
Smooth Brow
Dogs, like people, can express their worry with a furrowed brow, says Mullen. A wrinkle-free forehead equals a worry-free dog. Shar-Pei owners, this tip obviously doesn't apply to you!
Lolling Tongue
Ever wonder why dogs stick out their tongues when they're sleeping? Usually it's because they're so relaxed they can't be bothered to keep it in their mouths, says Wilson.
Happy Barks
Happy dogs generally have a higher pitched bark than agitated pups, says Mullen. They also usually bark for a shorter period of time, she says. But don't judge a dog by its bark alone. It's important to consider the other signs the dog is giving you, including her body carriage, before assuming all is good.
Healthy, happy adult dogs usually sleep for up to 16 hours per day, says Mullen. "If your dog isn't sleeping that much, it could be a sign of distress," she says.
A healthy coat is a good indicator your dog is happy, says Mullen. When dogs are stressed, they shed like crazy, she says, and sometimes their skin appears to flake. Of course, skin problems can also be a sign of disease, so check with your vet, too.
Belly's Up
A wriggling dog showing you her belly and tongue is likely a very happy dog, says Mullen. However if the belly-baring pup appears stiff and keeps her mouth shut, she could be showing submission instead of satisfaction, she says.
If a dog reacts to pets by staying close and even leaning in to your hand, it's a good sign she's enjoying the contact, says Wilhelm. Staying just out of reach or walking away could be a sign she needs more space.
Rear's Up
A dog is telling you she's up for fun when she play bows, says Wilhelm. In a play bow, a dog lowers her chest to the ground but keeps her rear in the air. "It's a sign that a dog is inviting play and wants to interact," she says.
They Like Other Dogs
Like people, every dog's preference for company is different. But if your pup is social at the dog park, friendly with other family pets, and not overly aggressive to new animals, these are all signs she's in a good mood.
They're Excited to See You
Happy dogs greet you at the door, get excited when you wake up, and keep an eye on you when they're playing in the dog park…unless their best canine friends are demanding all their attention, of course.

Mindy Kroesche | Marriage | Comments
I am not a morning person. Getting up early is hard for me to do. That's why I was impressed by the commitment of a group of women in California who have been getting out of bed at 5:00 every morning for the past month to talk on the phone.
But this isn't just any phone call. These women have been doing the 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge. They start off their day by joining a conference call with about eight participants from various parts of the state. They let me listen in on their last day of the challenge to hear how their marriages and lives have been affected.
LaTonya Carr is the lady who got the call going. LaTonya is divorced, but she said if she had done the challenge beforehand (when someone gave it to her) that wouldn't have happened. She got the challenge out again a few months ago and starting doing it, focusing on her ex-husband, and just felt like this was something she needed to do in a group.
Not all of the women know each other—LaTonya is the common link. But they've joined in to encourage one another to keep at it. They kick things off by reading Psalm 51, then have an opening prayer, read the challenge for the day, and discuss it.
They all agree that things have changed over the past 30 days. LaTonya reports that conversations with her ex-husband are much more peaceful. Andrea shared that she started sending her husband text messages everyday with encouraging words. "It's helped him on his job, and he brings that home with him." Even Pam's boss noticed a change in her life—he commented that she was smiling more and seemed happier. And he wanted to know what had made the difference.
But they also said having the daily phone call was a key part of helping them stay consistent.
"Knowing we were on the call makes me do the challenge and continue to do it," LaTonya said. "It inspires me, hearing what other people said."
Dee also appreciates the accountability. Doing the challenge with her sisters has made her stick to it, she said. "It motivates me to do better and be better."
And Rochelle has appreciated the encouragement from women that she doesn't know very well. "They're not going to let you hang up the phone feeling the same way," she said. "After the call, you feel like you're walking on pillows all day."
So now that the challenge is over, will this group stop talking? No, way! They've already started on the 30-Day True Woman Makeover and have plans for something to do the month after that as well.
Sounds like these ladies are living out Hebrews 10:24—"And let us consider how we may spur one another on to love and good deeds." How about you? Is there a way you can encourage someone to live as a true woman and make her feel like she's "walking on pillows"?

For those of you who missed it, or those who want to be reminded, this is a summary (helped by some pictures and links) of our very successful annual General Assembly in Dubai.
First General Assembly in the Middle East
This was the first time ENEX has held its annual General Assembly in Dubai hosted by one of the news cooperative's newest partners, Al Arabiya. ENEX has expanded rapidly in the Middle East in the last two years with three partners from the region joining and another on trial. The Middle East theme was threaded through the event with Noura Al Kaabi, Minister of State of the United Arab Emirates delivering a keynote speech on the opening afternoon.
A panel discussion focused on the future of Iraq and Syria now Islamic State forces have been removed from key cities. Al Arabiya and its sister channel, Al Haddath, are covering the conflict in detail and their content is a very valuable component to the ENEX content offer.
Check out our video update of some of our latest news:
Rudaw could not attend due to travel restrictions
Unfortunately, Rudaw, our ENEX partner from the Kurdish Autonomous Region, could not attend because of the travel restrictions placed on Erbil Airport following the Kurdish referendum on autonomy. Both Al Arabiya and Rudaw have lost staff members in reporting the conflicts in the region with Rudaw's Presenter Shifa Gardi losing her life reporting on the battle for Mosul earlier in the year. Timed with the conference, Rudaw has announced that it will now be supplying pictures to ENEX clean and without their logo.
Facebook under attack about Fake News
The event's most combative session came as Facebook's Fares Akkad and Head of News Partnerships, Nick Wrenn outlined their various new initiatives to help commercial television stations monetize their content on the Facebook platform. Many felt it was not enough and Facebook also came under attack for not doing more to more aggressively combat fake news. Nevertheless their engagement with commercial broadcasters was much appreciated.
Rafael Wober delivered most engaging session on North Korea
The most engaging session of the conference was delivered by Rafael Wober, Senior Producer for Associated Press Television in Pyongyang. Rafael gave delegates a unique and fascinating view of daily life in North Korea behind the usual images of missile launches and goose-stepping military parades.
We also heard from digital strategist Evangelos Papathanassiou on the future of digital platforms and delivery and Clifton Van Der Linden, CEO of Vox Pop Labs on how to use large scale data research to more accurately predict elections.
ENEX also formally signed a partnership agreement with the UAE's national news agency – WAM during the event. Abdullah Abulkareem, Media Coverage Director, welcomed the agreement which will see all relevant news material generated from the UAE published onto the ENEX platform. This is particularly significant as the politics of the Gulf has become very topical with regard to relations with Qatar and Iran.
How to make best digital content for social media platforms ?
The last session focused again on the digital theme and examined how to make the best digital content for social media platforms. The session, chaired by Mark Evans ENEX Head of News, featured contributions from Jo Schmaltz, Wochit's VP Global Content Partnerships, Angelos Frangopoulos, CEO of Sky News Australia and Philipp Trunk, RTL InfoNetwork's Head of Digital Content.
The Assembly hosted more than 100 delegates. ENEX's Managing Director, Adrian Wells, said, ''Each year ENEX becomes a bigger global news provider with its reach constantly expanding into new territories and new services.'' Turki Aldakhil, General Manager of Al Arabiya said, ''Al Arabiya and its sister channel Al Haddath have become the most influential news channels in the Arab world and we are honoured to host you here.''

CCTV Content Now On ENEX ECO TV Panama joins ENEX


i'm sitting in my bed. the lights are dim and the house is quiet except for the hum of the heater, and the hushed voices of three little bodies curled on the floor in a heap of blankets, pillows and "stuffies;" dark shadows huddled on the floor in a last-night-of-vacation sleepover of sorts. a last hurrah before we jump back into school in the coming week.
as i sit here and type, i overhear their conversations. it's funny, when cloaked in the night's darkness, it's as though i'm not really here, and i'm able to listen to their conversations, unedited.
tonight, for some reason or another, turbo is brimming with love. he continues to profess his love for his brother, his sisters, his family, but is quick to emphasize that no matter how much he loves them, he doesn't love them more than he loves God. which turns the conversation to kid-size theology, discussions about the holy spirit commence and are followed by sweet pea begging turbo for a hug to which he says, "yes, of course," and asks her if she loves him more than her baby. because after all, her baby's just a toy.
the subject shifts to plans for tomorrow. riding bikes. building something-or-other. boxing. making a trap. important kid things.
i hear a tiny voice, "thanks for the cake owen." sweet pea, thanking owen for the cake he made today.
more, "i'm glad you're my brothers and sisters," escapes each of their little mouthes.
as i listen to all this oozy, thoughtful, thankful, lovefulness, i can't help but wonder…what's different about tonight?
i'd be flat out lying if i told you every night, or day for that matter, were like this. more often than not, it's the exact opposite. there's fighting, and whining, and crying, and "he hit me's," and, "she called me stupid's," and, "he doesn't like my drawing/writing/scootering's ((insert noun or verb here))." etc. etc. etc.
but tonight? as i sit here and listen to their bedtime chatter, tonight is one of those nights where, as a mama, you feel like you're winning.
it's a teeny, tiny glimpse into the people they are turning out to be; the people they will become. at least, i hope that's what it is; a window into the deepest parts of their little hearts. perhaps proof that they do hear my words when i feel as though they're falling on deaf ears.
and so, though it doesn't happen often that they are so mindful of one another, so caring, loving and thankful; tonight, i'll take the win.
and when this happens to you, please take your win and run with it! you deserve it.
we mama's don't give ourselves enough credit.
Also, random question – how do you get your corners curved on photos !??!!?!? so cute !
Lynnette Smith - Awesome as always, Stacey!

What's the price? I'm assuming another boat is on order?
115usd, reflects the Canadian market closely. If ours sells for what we want then gonna get a 19 if not this boat is still great.
GLWS man! What '19 boat are you looking at?
A Correct Craft in Fineline clothing Just yanking your chain a bit. Are they still running CATS on the new boats(16 Enzo is the newest I regularly see at the shop)?? 237 or 257?? GLWS!!
Haha! CATS is strictly an option now some run it some don't. With the new opti v Hull it's not necessary. Most likely 237.
Sweetness. Thanks for the information. Always nice to learn. You going to go 409 or 6.0DI if you were to order or have a choice??
H6 for sure. 409 would be awful, 6.0 450 would be alright. But my buddy with his H6 can push any sort of weight he wants.
Nice. Sounds like you already know you like the wave so not much to lose. The more and more boats I see the more I think the only thing you are really buying is a hull and some upholstery. IE Roswell Tower, Murphy screens, <insert audio name here>,Seadeck/Gatorstep, Lenco actuators and tabs are all the stuff that everyone is using right now. Stopped by and toured the Fineline factory when we were in Merced for Indmar service school and saw them bagging their hulls and doing the resin infusion(Closed molds instead of the more traditional construction method). Besides that, the large deadrise #s, CATS, their version of FAE, and Ramfill they seem to be bringing the same stuff to the table as many others(from that list though they are doing some different stuff). GLWS. Would love to hear some of your other thoughts as it sounds like youve been riding behind one. I know they said they parted ways with Boatmate when we were there. Do you know if they are using VM since they are close by??

True story. Got all excited about Centurion chat before I realized it. My bad.
No worries I like all the info. I think there is an upgrade in my future. Besides loving the Tige boats dealership is probably going to keep me with Tige also even though there is a nautique dealership like 10 minutes from my house I have heard and had too many bad experiences.
Ya centurion puts out a killer wave, the interior isn't as fancy but it gets the job done. They're all pretty much the same boat with choices of engines and interior. For the trailer I honestly don't know why they switched to extreme but it really doesn't matter cuz my dealer does a seperate boatmate order. All good to talk boats, haha I sent a very long freeheel4life about randomness.
Tige makes a great boat and at times it all comes down to the dealer. Nautique is wining the interior game but the wave isn't there.


A great number of insurance firms provide landlords a specific insurance package to cover against a series of unforeseen difficulties.
It is vital for the landlords to arrange an insurance which is obtainable through countless letting agents, but can also be organized individually. It is the landlord's obligation to organize building insurance and to insure the furnishings of the property that are included on the inventory.
However, it is also the tenants' responsibility to have contents insurance to safeguard their own furniture and belongings.

As our bus speeds through the French countryside after the final school trip of the year, I glance out the window. A green blur fills my view. The wide fields, lonely but also inviting in their emptiness, blend together with the trees to create one single image, one color. I barely notice the variations in the landscape; the bus is moving too fast. As soon as I spot a dirt path winding through the distant hills or a group of small bushes swaying with the wind, it vanishes behind me, out of the window frame and gone forever.
Part of me longs to stop the bus, to stop time. But more than anything, spending nine months abroad has taught me that life always moves forward, no matter how hard we might try to keep it still. Gazing out the window, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the number of memories I've made in this country that has become my home. The thought of forgetting them frightens me. Will all of the moments fade away like the passing trees, only to gather dust on a shelf in the back of my mind?
The harsh reality is that not everything can be remembered. One year – especially a year filled with so many new people and new places – is made up of an infinite number of memories, some that fade and others that last. As much as I'd like to grasp each one and never let go, I know that such a task would be impossible. I try to convince myself that pictures and journal entries will somehow capture my experiences in their entirety, solidifying them into tangible objects. But the truth is that I have much less control than I like to think. All I can do is hope that the important memories, the people and places that impacted me in significant ways, will stay.
I remember the feeling of awe and satisfaction after finally understanding a French text following a discussion in French literature class. My teacher's voice, compelling and passionate, still rings in my ears, and I still grasp every syllable as though it were magic.
I remember exploring Rennes for the first time alongside my new friends, the city's streets mysterious and charming,
the last rays of the summer sun still casting a yellow glow on the tilted Breton houses. Together, we laughed at our failed attempts to communicate in French, a language then so foreign to our ears. Looking back, I can see how far we've come.
I remember walking along the beach on the coast of Brittany with my host family one Sunday afternoon, windblown hair in our faces. The realization that I now have a second family in France came over me like a wave and took me by surprise. Feeling at home in a foreign country is not an easy task to accomplish, but thanks to my French family, it's one that I've been able to achieve.
Ultimately, the physical places one visits are memorable, but it's the people in them that create the strongest memories. From my teachers to my friends to my host family, the people I've met this year have inspired me and opened my eyes to all that I still have to learn.
I am afraid of forgetting. But deep down I know that it's an irrational fear, as the bonds I've formed in the past nine months will never fade away.

Walking With Ghosts : A Memoir
Default Title - €18.50EUR
Author(s): Byrne, Gabriel,
Binding: Hardback,
Imprint: Picador,
Published By: PAN MACMILLAN ,
Book Classification: Ireland,
Walking with Ghosts is the stunningly evocative memoir by Irish actor and Hollywood star, Gabriel Byrne. 'Dreamy, lyrical and utterly unvarnished' - Colm Toibin. As a young boy growing up in the outskirts of Dublin, Gabriel Byrne sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city.
It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and on Broadway, Byrne also courageously recounts his battle with addiction and the ambivalence of fame. Walking with Ghosts is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking as well as a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.

Chaos in races at Red Bull Ring: Giorgio Maggi stays cool
By gmaggi
Six safety car periods, two stoppages, plenty of retirements – what chaotic scenes at the Red Bull Ring! Giorgio Maggi did not finish in the points this time after a tough qualifying but produced a credible performance nevertheless in the three races in Austria.
Giorgio, you are probably not too happy with the points haul at the weekend…
No, it was a bit frustrating. I had counted on securing more points at the Red Bull Ring after the promising season opener at Oschersleben. I was confident after Friday practice, as I was less than a second off best time. Then unfortunately, something went wrong in qualifying on Saturday, which had an impact on the rest of the weekend.
Well, without going into detail, we had a small technical problem that suddenly popped up.
Our guys had everything sorted after qualifying, but my performance suffered, which is why I didn't do better than grid positions 35 and 34. So it was obvious that the weekend was going to be tricky. To come from behind and finish in the points is incredibly difficult in a field of nearly 40 cars, which was a great pity, because our team had the necessary speed for a better result. My team-mate Mattia lined up on the front row both times – I could have done that too.
How did your race go?
Of course, it doesn't look all that great, just taking the results table into account, finishing 26th, 25th and 15th. Ultimately, it's only the results that count, so I want to draw a line under the weekend and forget it as soon as possible and concentrate on the tasks ahead. I've got some important exams in school next week. Still, I have to say that I can be happy with my race performance at the weekend. All in all, I improved by a total of 28 places in the three races. That gives me a lot of confidence, and I've also gained a lot of respect out on track.
And you took the chequered flag in every one of the three races…
Yes, that was by no means a foregone conclusion at the Red Bull Ring. It was quite messy at the weekend with a total of six safety car periods and two stoppages. There were one or two bumps, especially around me, which is where my formula racing experience helped. I kept my cool in the cockpit when things got a bit chaotic at times and avoided all the collisions. It's important not to lose your nerve in this huge field of ADAC Formula 4 entrants. My composure will certainly help me in the course of the season.
The hype around the ADAC Formula 4 shows no signs of abating. Fans were able to watch all three races live on Sport1 at the weekend. What do you think of that as a driver?
It was mega! Still, I would have preferred to have secured lots of points instead. My car was often seen on television, because I was involved in so many battles in a tightly bunched midfield. The great interest in the series also benefits us drivers. I've never been asked so much about my sport as just lately. After every race, lots of friends and fans have posted on Facebook to wish me luck. That motivates me to achieve even better results next time.
You'll get your next chance in two weeks' time in Spa-Francorchamps…
Yes indeed, we're heading to Belgium for the next race weekend. I've driven there once before in the Formel ADAC. Two years ago. I'm now looking forward to returning. The track is legendary and every corner tells its own story. The feeling of driving up Eau Rouge and only seeing tarmac in front of you from the cockpit is indescribable. Slipstreaming battles play a major role in Spa. You need to be clever here and drive as clean a race as possible without making too many mistakes. If you fail to hit the turn right, you lose speed down the following straights. Besides, rain can appear out of nowhere at Spa. That's fine by me, because I always feel really comfortable in the wet.

Teamsters Mourn Passing of Ted Kennedy
The thoughts and prayers of 1.4 million Teamsters are with the Kennedy family today as the nation mourns the passing of one of the most influential lawmakers in American history.
"Ted Kennedy will stand as an inspiration to generations of Americans as a progressive icon. It's rare for someone born into such privilege to be so concerned about the plight of working people, but Kennedy was such a person," said Jim Hoffa, Teamsters General President.
Sen. Ted Kennedy attends a Teamster demonstration led by then-director of the Teamsters Safety and Health Department, R.V. Durham, on truck cab safety problems in 1978.
Kennedy was one of a few lawmakers always willing to tackle the truly difficult issues head on. His combination of political savvy, intelligence and empathy allowed him to effect more change in this country than even presidents can hope to accomplish.
Upon his death, Kennedy was chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Kennedy left an indelible mark on many aspects of American life. He championed progressive legislation on labor, health care, education, civil rights, immigration, welfare and many others. A common theme among his pet issues was to ensure that all Americans have the chance to live and work with dignity.
"Despite the long shadows of tragedy that hung over his life, Ted never allowed that to cloud his vision of a better America," Hoffa said. "He cared deeply about the issues of working Americans, and his most cherished soapbox was health care reform.
"Kennedy's willingness to reach across the political divide to find common ground with his opponents should be an inspiration to lawmakers struggling with health care reform today,"
President Barack Obama said...
-- Michelle and I were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of our dear friend, Senator Ted Kennedy. For nearly five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. His ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in millions of lives -- in seniors who know new dignity; in families that know new opportunity; in children who know education's promise; and in all who can pursue their dream in an America that is more equal and more just, including me. In the United States Senate, I can think of no one who engendered greater respect or affection from members of both sides of the aisle. His seriousness of purpose was perpetually matched by humility, warmth and good cheer. He battled passionately on the Senate floor for the causes that he held dear, and yet still maintained warm friendships across party lines. And that's one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy. I personally valued his wise counsel in the Senate, where, regardless of the swirl of events, he always had time for a new colleague. I cherished his confidence and momentous support in my race for the Presidency. And even as he waged a valiant struggle with a mortal illness, I've benefited as President from his encouragement and wisdom. His fight gave us the opportunity we were denied when his brothers John and Robert were taken from us: the blessing of time to say thank you and goodbye. The outpouring of love, gratitude and fond memories to which we've all borne witness is a testament to the way this singular figure in American history touched so many lives. For America, he was a defender of a dream. For his family, he was a guardian. Our hearts and prayers go out to them today -- to his wonderful wife, Vicki, his children Ted Jr., Patrick and Kara, his grandchildren and his extended family. Today, our country mourns. We say goodbye to a friend and a true leader who challenged us all to live out our noblest values. And we give thanks for his memory, which inspires us still.
Wed Aug 26, 10:19:00 PM 2009
Yes, and Senator Kennedy was also one of two architechts of de-regulation of the trucking industry, which has virtually wiped out the Teamsters...interesting how they don't have the balls to say that...

The 7 Best French Retro-Electro Producers You Need To Know
Retro Electro | © Surian Soosay/Flickr
It goes by many names: retrowave, synthwave, retro electro, synthpop, dreamwave, or new wave. Drawing heavily on 80s-era film and TV themes and aesthetics, the genre combines analogue synthesizer sounds, easy-listening tempos, and relatively simple progressive rhythmic structures. Add to this very often fan-made videos using old TV, film, and documentary footage, and the genre has forged a fairly defined identity, as well as an avid internet following. France has a strong showing in this genre, and in this article we go through the seven best producers from Paris and Nantes.
David Grellier, who goes by his moniker, College, founded the Valerie collective, a label known to fans of synthwave. He was also architect of the song that introduced many to the genre, "A Real Hero," from the 2011 film Drive, that featured the band Electric Youth. From Nantes, College has a refined and idiosyncratic analogue sound, with three full-length albums to date — Secret Diary, Northern Council, and Heritage. He draws inspiration from '80s soaps and aesthetics, as well as imagery of American cities absorbed through television and film.
Maethelvin
Also from Nantes and a founding member of the Valerie collective, Maethelvin has a similar, but slightly more audibly upbeat sound, with songs like As We Were and Delight. Born in the '80s, Maethelvin makes music for "imaginary car-chases and sci-fi movies." His professional life involves working as a programmer, keeping his music purely as a hobby — "…just because I want to keep it fun, and never feel any kind of pressure about it." However, this hasn't prevented him from making acclaimed synthwave anthems, and he even released his debut album, CSOO5, last year.
Outrunners
Another member of the Valerie collective, this duo hails from Nantes, but is largely based in Paris. Their songs transport the listener to sunset coastal drives and neon-city pastures; their bio reads "The Outrunners brings you the original soundtrack of a future under fluorescent light." In fact, this theme of both simultaneously creating an image of the future, but also drawing inspiration from the past is what many synthwave artists express as their goal.
Bringing a considerably darker sound to the synthwave genre, Paris-based artist Perturbator is a prolific musician, putting out four albums and two EPs in the last few years, and a new release on the label Bloodmusic expected imminently. His deep and bellowing tones evoke scenes of tension and action, undoubtedly drawing from his love of cyberpunk and Japanese dystopian anime. His music has been featured on the Hotline Miami video game series.
A hugely successful dance music producer, Lifelike produces nu-disco anthems that often have an underlying retro tone to them, even if they aren't exactly aiming to create the same feelings as most synthwave artists attempt. His 2007 song, "So Electric," is the best example of this crossroads. Opening with a melody through a tinny radio filter before evolving into a grandiose journey using the same three chords on repeat, it screams retro nostalgia and this fan-made video creates a mesmerizing viewing experience to match.
Also part of the Valerie collective, Anoraak is an artist who makes use of both analogue synthesizers and his own singing, creating a feel-good nostalgic trip. His most recent album, Wherever The Sun Sets, made use of more classical guitar sounds than Chronotropic, both having been released in 2013. His work most easily described as synthwave was his 2008 EP, Nightdrive With You, and whilst his music has evolved over the years, he has held firm to the core principles of his sound.
The composer of the title track for Drive, "Nightcall": a mesmerizing journey of synth-funk featuring vocals that alternate between coarse and eroded, and crisp and clean. The moment the opening arpeggio begins with an aerial view of Los Angeles will surely forever remain embedded in the memories of every Drive fan. Kavinsky's songs tend to have a heavier, more abrasive texture, with a wider variety of sounds than most synthwave artists. Then again, one probably couldn't definitively classify much of his music into this genre.

Hackers Infiltrate Florida Water Supply, Attempt to Raise Chemical Levels to Dangerous Amounts
By Matthew Impelli On 2/8/21 at 5:01 PM EST
U.S. Florida Hacking
A hacker recently attempted to add a "dangerous" level of chemicals to the water treatment plant in Oldsmar, Florida, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department.
While speaking at a press conference on Monday, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said that the incident occurred on Friday when a plant operator at the Oldsmar Water Treatment Facility "noticed that someone remotely accessed the computer system that he was monitoring," which controls the chemicals at the plant.
The employee didn't think much of the system being accessed remotely, as supervisors and others have done so on several different occasions, Gualtieri said.
A few hours later at around 1:30 p.m. local time, the employee again noticed that his computer was being accessed remotely.
"The person remotely accessed the system for about three to five minutes, opening various functions on the screen," Gualtieri said. "One of the functions opened by the person hacking into the system was one that controls the amount of sodium hydroxide in the water. The hacker changed the sodium hydroxide from about 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million. This is obviously a significant and potentially dangerous increase."

Gualtieri went on to note that sodium hydroxide, "also known as lye" is used to control levels of acidity in the water as well as removing metals from it but added that it is also one of the main ingredients in liquid drain cleaner.
The change made by the hacker was noticed by the employee shortly after, and the employee was able to lower the levels of the chemical and Gualtieri said that "at no time was there a significant adverse effect on the water being treated."
According to Gualtieri, the employee who noticed the breach notified his supervisor shortly after and took the necessary steps to prevent remote access again.
A control panel is seen at the Miami Dade County Water Systems treatment plant on January 30, 2015 in Miami. "The protocols that we have in place, the monitoring protocols, they work; that's the good news," Oldsmar Mayor Eric Seidel said of the hack at the city's water treatment facility. Joe Raedle/Getty
Gualtieri also noted that the hack brought the water treatment plant to "dangerous levels" of sodium hydroxide "but luckily it was caught right away."
Newsweek was directed to the press conference after reaching out to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office for comment.
Oldsmar Mayor Eric Seidel and City Manager Al Braithwaite also spoke during the press conference on Monday and confirmed that the hack was made on the city's drinking water supply.
While speaking on Friday, Seidel explained that the water treatment plant has several monitoring protocols to detect a change like the one on Friday.
"The protocols that we have in place, the monitoring protocols, they work; that's the good news," Seidel said. "Even had they not caught them, there's redundancies that have alarms in the system that would have caught the change in the pH level anyhow."
"The important thing is to put everyone on notice and I think that's really the purpose of today is to make sure that everyone realizes that these bad actors are out there," Seidel added.
Newsweek reached out to Seidel and Braithwaite for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Ethics Panel to Clear Rangel?
by Bill Allison
House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel predicted, on C-SPAN's Newsmakers program that aired Sunday, Feb. 1, 2009, that his multitude of ethics woes would soon disappear. "I think that next Tuesday you will see a break in this and as soon as the Ethics Committee organizes they ought to be able to dismiss this," National Journal's CongressDaily quoted the Rangel as saying.
If so, it's hard to imagine that the Select Committee on Ethics will have devoted anything more than a cursory glance at the various issues raised. Consider just one aspect, for which documents are in the public record: Rangel's financial disclosure forms. We took a look at his filings going all the way back to 1978, the first year members were required to disclose information on their personal finances, and found 28 instances in which he failed to report acquiring, owning or disposing of assets. Assets worth between $239,026 and $831,000 appear or disappear with no disclosure of when they were acquired, how long they were held, or when they were sold, as the operative House rules at the time required.
In September 2008, Rangel announced he was hiring a forensic accountant to review 20 years of his financial records, including his financial disclosure forms and his tax returns. The Washington Post has a nice overview of some of the issues raised.
In his calendar year 2006 filing, for example, Rangel reported 13 investments, mostly in mutual funds, which he valued in a range between $54,013 and $286,000, without indicating when he acquired them. In that same year, a quartet of assets that he reported acquiring in 2004 and worth between $95,004 and $250,000, disappeared from his filing without any indication of whether they were sold or exchanged.
The count is based solely on what Rangel disclosed in his filings. It does not include obvious omissions–he failed to disclose his book deal with MacMillan, which published his memoir And I Haven't Had a Bad Day Since as an arrangement, nor did he disclose as income any advance or royalties he might have received from the book, which was published in April 2007. The count also does not include instances in which Rangel later corrected inaccurate filings, which he did on several occasions. For example, his original financial disclosure form for calendar year 1990, omitted what had been his principal asset through the 1980s and 1990s, an apartment building on W. 174th St. in New York. On May 15, 1991, the same day he filed the disclosure report, he advised the Ethics Committee in a letter accompanying his filing that the property produced a loss. On June 4, 1991, he sent the committee a second letter, stating that the building in fact had produced rental income between $15,001 and $50,000.
Because we focused on omissions from the filings, we also didn't include as an error the Florida property Rangel disclosed selling twice (in 2006 and in 2007). Also, we looked only at the reporting of assets and not income–rents, interest and dividends–or trips, in which other inaccuracies have been reported.
We used disclosures from the Center for Responsive Politics from 1995 to the present, and from the Law Library of the Library of Congress.
Rangel's office did not respond to requests for clarification and additional information on the filings, saying that they would not comment while the ethics investigation was ongoing. Rangel pledged to release 20 years worth of tax returns when the probe is complete.

The most senior South Koreans to travel to North Korea for more than a decade met leader Kim Jong Un Monday, a Seoul official said, the latest step in an Olympics-driven rapprochement on the divided peninsula. The meeting and dinner was also attended by Mr Kim's wife, Ri Sol-ju, and his younger sister Kim Yo-jong, who brought the invitation for talks to the South last month during the Winter Olympics .
Huawei gives their 2017 flagships a price cut less than 5 months after their release. Insiders published cost of the smartphone Huawei P20 , before the announcement of which remained for another three weeks. Apparently, Huawei P20 Lite could be the cheapest variant of the Huawei P20 smartphones family. Being a premium edition, the Huawei P20 Pro is expected to come with Triple Cameras at the back panel.
This particular sedan is built using VW's corporate MEB vehicle architecture, and is quite large for an electric vehicle (EV). "The I.D. VIZZION shows what our brand is capable of in terms of technology, design and quality", said VW brand boss Herbert Diess, during a showcase of new products by the various marques operated by the parent Volkswagen Group".
According to TechCrunch , buried within Instagram's Android Application Package (APK) is an icon for a Portrait shutter for the Stories camera. While users can now import Portrait Mode images from their smartphone camera roll, Instagram adding direct support for capturing those pictures would give it yet another leg up in its ongoing competition with Instagram .
While details about Bentley's plug-in hybrid system mainly surround the range, there has yet to be any info on power output, battery size, or how the interior may be affected by the added electronics. For starters, instead of a switch for the Automatic Start-Stop system, there are controls for the electric powertrain like EV Drive, Hybrid, and Hold Modes.
Unlike its previous delay, SpaceX didn't release the reschedule date until now. But 2017 was a banner year for the company, with a record 18 Falcon 9 launches, and no major launch mishaps. However, there is a catch. The launch pad roared back to life in December, when it hosted a SpaceX mission that sent 4,800 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station.
According to exit polls conducted by RAI state television, Berlusconi's four-party coalition, including his moderate Forza Italia (Go Italy!) and the League , was expected to win over 36 percent of the ballots, followed by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement with 29-32 percent.
But rest assured that LaPierre is not quaking. The firm, which manages close to $6 trillion (£4.3 trillion) in assets, said on Friday the attack had "driven home the bad toll from gun violence in America ". The exhausted, slippery slope argument, "if they take our automatic weapons away, they'll take all our guns away", underscores the idiocy of this group.


This year, GlobeCast's Teleport and Master Control are receiving major enhancements and re-designs. This is being accomplished to assist increased business expansion and to offer even higher levels of service to clients. The Master Control is increasing in size by 100 percent to ensure GlobeCast Australia continues to "reach the world." In fact, GlobeCast Australia in June processed its 100,000th booking in its electronic booking system, ScheduALL.
Rapid growth in global demand for high-end content distribution has seen GlobeCast Australia quadruple its annual bookings volume for occasional use services — this is in addition to the Company's full time services growth. Key bookings clients include BSkyB, Sky New Zealand, Sky News Australia, FOXTEL, FOX Sports, Network Ten, the Seven Network, SBS, SportsBrand, and World Sports Group.
GlobeCast Australia is the provider of choice to deliver ad hoc content to and from broadcasters throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. Clients need a reliable and cost efficient service, and the front line of this operation is a highly skilled Bookings department and a system that can be viewed by all key personnel.
From its Sydney based Teleport, GlobeCast Australia offers global customers backhaul, uplink, downlink, encoding, multiplexing, encryption, time-delay, local play-out and insertion, 24/7 monitoring, IP monitoring, transcoding to 3G phones, and SMS Services. The facility draws together an international fiber and satellite network which presents attractive solutions.
GlobeCast Australia has fully protected and diverse, self-healing, bidirectional STM-1 international fibers connecting Auckland, Sydney, Los Angeles, and London — all use SDH as the standard. They are configured to carry SD and HD, ASI and SDI, and all the equipment at either end is fully redundant, with no single point of failure throughout the system. The fibers have flexible bandwidth options and GlobeCast Australia offers multiple domestic and international downlinks for injection to its international fibers. The Company also operates dozens of full time digital and analog tails to major international switches and hubs; Sydney DVOC, LA Switch and Pac Bell Hub, and the BT Tower in London. For Australia and New Zealand, the Company operates one full FOXTEL-ready transponder on Optus C1. FOXTEL is Australia's premier pay television operator.
On the Optus D2 satellite, GlobeCast operates five transponders with 52 video channels and 27 MHz of flexible, occasional use bandwidth. The channels are a mix of ethnic, sport, religion, financial, and niche programming. On the PanGlobal platform, there are an additional 29 video channels on Intelsat 8 (IS-8), plus a range of Arabic, African, European, Asian, and niche foreign language channels.
GlobeCast Australia also caters to Asia via full-time leased and operated 9MHz C-band SCPC on AsiaSat 2 for occasional use for distribution throughout Asia on the preferred Asian distribution satellite; and it has an impressive list of international downlinks in Sydney: AS-2, AS-3, AS-4, IS-5, IS-8, IS-701 and NSS-6. In Perth, it has a facility at Optus Lockeridge, which can downlink Thaicom 5 and IS-10. That allows GlobeCast to backhaul Direct to Home (DTH) channels and occasional use SD and HD bookings on capacity from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Content is then moved via a protected STM-1 connecting the Perth facility to the state-of-the-art, 24/7, master control teleport facility in Sydney.
Many in the media industry are aware of GlobeCast's history in transmitting and distributing ethnic and other specific interest TV channels, such as Vision Asia and the Australian Christian Channel, both DTH and payTV platforms. With more than 120 video and audio services already delivered on a permanent basis, DTH services cater to a wide range of viewing tastes, including the multicultural communities of Australia as well as featuring major international channels, such as NHK.
Optus D2 is an effective and economical satellite solution for channel operators, according to GlobeCast Australia's DTH Manager Mr. Lobwein.
The D-Series satellite has been developed by Optus to deliver the nexgen of digital satellite services to Australasia, with increased channel capacity and technical quality. Optus D2 is received in more than 350,000 dish-installed homes across Australia and New Zealand, and includes numerous free to air (FTA) channels.
EURO World Network operates the Croatian package on the Optus D2 platform. "We are very pleased to have signed with GlobeCast Australia. They are exactly the partner we had been looking for: efficient, reliable and open to new solutions. Thanks to them, we are able to broaden our offer to our subscribers," said EURO World's President and CEO Mr. Chris Williams.
In recent years, the channel distribution has become even more mainstream with the addition of the likes of global sports net Setanta and Australasian racing channel, TVN. In addition, the DTH model is becoming increasingly versatile in the content it carries and the distribution locations. For example, TVN, in addition to being distributed to FOXTEL, is also delivered direct to 5,000 pubs and clubs across Australia.
Transmissions over the past two years for 3G mobiles finds GlobeCast distributing international brand channels, such as Cartoon Network, Sky News Australia, Fox Sports, CNN, and BBC into new media's smaller screen environments. IPTV, and simultaneous broadband streaming, are an integral part of reaching audiences in 2009. The "anywhere, anytime" psyche that drives mobile and Internet distribution is clearly evident across all GlobeCast activities.
GlobeCast Australia also multi channels and time-shifts in the digital environment for ABC and the Seven Network. The Company also provides significant international fiber capacity for content delivery to other leading FTA networks, including Network Ten and SBS.
The company is regularly adding new marquee sports and events to its calendar of events, including the Indian Premier League in 2009. Uplinking and distribution of rugby league and motocross were new in 2008, joining major sports such as V8, thoroughbred horse racing, tennis Opens and rugby union internationals, to name but a few.
"Our sporting relationships, some direct with sporting organizations, also lead us to good relations with rights companies and agencies such as IMG, SportsBrand, and World Sports Group," Mr. Nealon stated.
From this history of broadcast distribution, GlobeCast Australia also sees a new market developing — a more "direct to venue" than the original "direct to home". Corporate clients and venues are in detailed planning stages for the installation of digital uplink and downlink infrastructure to assist in spreading messages to staff and to stage audio visual events in large audience environments.
In particular, another breakthrough relates to communications in the workplace and to customers. Business TV solutions are about to be delivered for major clients in the Australian financial services sector, allowing them to better communicate internally and externally, enhancing their brand and sharing critical information quickly and with maximum impact. It's an obvious, natural and bespoke response to the increasingly fragmented and niche world of communications, according to the team at GlobeCast.
As mentioned earlier, the increasing demand for channels, events, and broadcasters has led GlobeCast Australia to commit to significant upgrades of its Teleport and Master Control, according to the company's Director of Engineering Peter Booth.
The Teleport is positioned on the roof of one of Sydney's iconic high rise buildings, the MLC Centre. The Teleport upgrade in 2009 increased power, installed larger amps on AS-2 to allow for four simultaneous uplinks, and resulted in higher quality, clean carriers. Also created were three discrete uplinks to the three D2 slots, something that is supplemented with Australia's largest DSNG fleet of 10 vehicles and flyaways. The 69th floor satellite dish farm on the MLC Building is the second tallest address in Sydney and possibly the highest Teleport facility in the Southern hemisphere.
GlobeCast Australia now offers 13 satellite dishes, ranging from 4.5m to smaller 2.0m antenna, five of which are uplinkable to domestic and international destinations as far away as Cyprus in the Mediterranean and Los Angeles in the U.S. Complementing GlobeCast Australia's global fiber connectivity, this provides the bridge to key distribution markets throughout Asia, the Middle East and into Europe.
Transmission dishes are permanently fixed to Intelsat's IS-5 and IS-8, covering an area throughout the Pacific, Oceania, and South East Asia. Clients in this region enjoy world-class broadcast events on a regular basis, courtesy of GlobeCast Australia services. The English Premier League is a prime example and is viewed from the U.K. to Fiji with Globecast Australia providing the bridge with Intelsat.
Another satellite providing crucial operational connectivity is Asiasat's AS-2, soon to be upgraded to AS-5. The latter is a more powerful satellite that will cover the same AS-2 broadcast footprint, ranging from the Eastern fringe of Europe all the way to Australasia, with downlink capability throughout all regions in its path. This means traffic, both to and from Europe, can be transmitted via the MLC Teleport. The content can then be received in Hong Kong and Singapore, Malaysia, India, Dubai, Jordan, and Cyprus. These locales are all major connectivity hubs for onward fiber pass or instantaneous satellite turnaround. Such is particularly useful for European-only satellites and is highly effective to forward live international events out of Australia to viewers on the other side of the planet.
With AsiaSat's decision to upgrade the spacecraft, Globecast Australia, as an owner of permanent capacity, undertook a calculated decision to increase uplink capability in readiness for seamless transition to AS-5 in late 2009. Globecast has increased its ability to transmit two 9MHz C-band channels from Sydney to a total of four 9MHz C-band channels. Ex-British Telecom Satnet Satellite Operations Manager and now the Teleport Engineer at Globecast Australia, Jonathan Garratt, says the company also decided to use Newtec's Azimuth range of modulators and combining upconverters to create a facility offering full flexibility and redundancy for any uplinking scenario that could be potentially requested.
Single, dual, triple, or quad carrier operation at 9MHz can be individually driven from a purpose-built graphical interface at the MCR operations level. Any combination of these carriers or their committed sum bandwidth on satellite can be manipulated at the touch of an onscreen button to engage single or dual carrier operation for as much as 36MHz of HD level broadcasting. DVB-S2 modulation schemes and 8PSK are a crucial part of planning at Globecast Australia.
The Master Control upgrade is ongoing as crucial infrastructure is carefully duplicated, transferred, and then re-integrated. The floor space is doubling in size and the number of monitoring screens is tripling. The design has created one large CAR rather than separate rooms, and created more rack space for now and for the future.
For DTH, in its Master Control, GlobeCast Australia encodes statmux, scramble, and handoff (via protected DS-3) more than 100 video and audio services to Optus Belrose for uplink onto D2 and C1, in all a total of six platforms. One of the platforms is running on legacy Scientific Atlanta equipment, three platforms are on Thomson Vibe plus Broadmux (one of these is for the Foxtel ready platform onto C1), and a further two platforms running on Thomson Vibe are using the very latest Net Processor 9030 multiplexer. The created transport streams are passed to Belrose on DS3 equipment Network Adapter Units (NAU), as supplied by TANDBERG (TSP 6120). The scrambling system employed is Irdeto Pisys.
The Master Control supplies a mixed bouquet to Hutchinson for reconstitution onto their 3G mobile phone network platform. A selection of TANDBERG and Scientific Atlanta decoders supply a SA DCM (Digital Content Manager). The multiplexed output is fed to Hutchinson via protected DVNs.
GlobeCast Australia's international fiber contribution and backhaul circuits are populated with equipment supplied by TANDBERG (Decoders/encoders), Thomson (Decoders/encoders), Scientific Atlanta (muxing), IRT and Ipitek (both for ASI over fiber delivery). The continued growth in all business areas including Contribution, DTH, and SNG services facilitates the need for more rack space and a larger Master Control, according to Broadcast Operations Manager Peter Doueihi.
The planned expansion will include a completely new, state of the art, control desk complemented by a video wall increasing from 10 to 24 (Plasma/LCD) screens. Recent infrastructure enhancements in preparation for this expansion are already underway with the addition of a Chloride 120KVA UPS and increased capacity to the air handling. Once the build has been completed, in addition to the expanded MCR, GlobeCast Australia will have the footprint available to install an additional 30 equipment racks, already in demand from multiple clients.
The central switching matrix is a 'Probel Sirius', while AXON standards converts are used to change between NTSC/PAL, and Playbox is used for ad insertion and crawlers. VIP MVP is employed for driving the monitoring displays, TANDBERG TT1260 and TT1290 are the decoders of choice, with TANDBERG 5700 and 5782 for SD and HD encoding, and TANDBERG SM6620 Modulators for uplinks. Pixelmetrix provides ASI delay units, while 360 Systems image servers are used for SDI delay and a Thomson Sapphire ASI recording device is used to top/tail clips. There are Vertex upconverters for the C- and Ku-band uplinks.
In addition to the landmark occasional use Booking #100,000 achieved in June, the upgrades come after five years of general growth and innovation. The company conducted the entire level of 2004 business in just the first five months of 2009. GlobeCast Australia's most recent establishment of infrastructure allows for seamless disaster recovery for key broadcast networks in Australasia. A secure, state of the art facility was custom built to satisfy the needs of clients.The company now also contracts for satellite tracking, as well.

Q: Casting an SKSpriteNode in an SKReferenceNode I've build a Scene1 in Xcode's Scene editor. And I've referenced another scene which has animation to this Scene1.
Now, I'm trying to cast-out an SKSpriteNode which is inside an SKReferenceNode.
The name of the SKSpriteNode that I'm trying to cast, on a scene which was references is: "sc01eyelid".
Any suggestions what I might do wrong here?
thank you in advance.
import SpriteKit
import GameplayKit

class Scene1: SKScene {
    var misha: SKReferenceNode = SKReferenceNode()
    var eyelidForScene1:SKSpriteNode = SKSpriteNode()

override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
    castMishaForScene1()
    castOutEyelid()
}

//Casting out misha
func castMishaForScene1() {
    if let someSpriteNode:SKReferenceNode = self.childNode(withName: "mishaRefNode") as? SKReferenceNode {
        misha = someSpriteNode
        print("CASTED\(misha)")
    }
    else {
        print("could not cast\(misha)")
    }
}

//Casting out eyelid
func castOutEyelid() {
    if let someSpriteNode:SKSpriteNode = misha.childNode(withName: "sc01eyelid") as? SKSpriteNode {
        eyelidForScene1 = someSpriteNode
        print("CASTED\(eyelidForScene1)")
    }
    else {
        print("could not cast\(eyelidForScene1)")
    }
}
}

A: In order to access any Node of the SKRefference one needs to put additional "//" in the withName statement:
if let someSpriteNode:SKSpriteNode = misha.childNode(withName: "//sc01eyelid") as? SKSpriteNode {}

So withName: "//sc01eyelid" would work to access the sc01eyelid Node.

Biografia
Iniziò a studiare diritto, ma si iscrisse poi in filologia, ottenendo un dottorato nel 1911. Con l'obiettivo di diventare professore di greco ottenne anche un dottorato in storia nel 1913. Dal 1911 al 1914 studiò filologia greca, preistoria e storia antica a Berlino, con l'aiuto di una borsa di studio concessa dalla Junta de Ampliación de Estudios. Una volta lì, un consiglio di Wilamowitz-Moellendorf gli fece cambiare idea, iscrivendosi ai corsi di archeologia preistorica.

Dal 1916 al 1939 è stato presidente di storia antica e medievale presso l'Università di Barcellona. Allo stesso tempo, servì come direttore del Servizio di Ricerca Archeologica dell'"Institut d'Estudis Catalans". Dalla pubblicazione nel 1919 di Prehistoria Catalana, ha sostenuto con forza l'uso del catalano nelle pubblicazioni scientifiche. Tra il 1916 e il 1931, guidò la sezione archeologica dei musei di Barcellona; dal 1931-1933, è stato preside della Facoltà di Filosofia e Filologia e tra il 1933 e il 1939, è stato rettore dell'Università.

Coinvolto in politica catalana, fu Ministro della giustizia della Catalogna nel governo di Lluís Companys. Dopo gli eventi del 6 ottobre 1934, fu fatto prigioniero insieme ad altri membri del governo catalano sulla nave Uruguay, suscitando lamentele internazionali. Dopo la guerra civile spagnola andò in esilio in Messico, insieme a molti altri intellettuali spagnoli. Successivamente venne coinvolto in una campagna di diffamazione all'Università di Barcellona. Acquisì la nazionalità messicana nel 1971.

Ha anche insegnato presso diverse università europee tra cui Berlino (1921), Edimburgo (1936), Oxford (1939-1941), Parigi (1961) e Heidelberg (1966). Dal 1941 è stato professore presso l'Università Autonoma e la Scuola (Escuela Generale) di Archeologia presso l'Università nazionale autonoma del Messico, posizione che ha tenuto fino alla sua morte nel 1974. Era inoltre professore presso l'Università del Guatemala (1945-1947), direttore della Divisione di filosofia e Scienze Umanistiche dell'UNESCO (1948-1953), e segretario generale dell'Unione delle Scienze Antropologiche e etnologiche (1953-1966).

Mashaba lauds Bafana, regrets missed chances
Mashaba says Bafana showed a lot of character and determination despite missing a lot of chances.

Shakes Mashaba
Bafana Bafana camp
Bafana coach
EWN Sport | 2123 days ago
JOHANNESBURG - Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba praised his players for a good display of football that saw them hold their nemesis Nigeria to a 1-1 draw at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Sunday.
Both sides wore black armbands and observed a moment of silence before kick-off in memory of former legend Steve 'Kalamazoo' Mokone who passed was away on 20 March in the United States.
Bafana went a goal down following an Ahmed Musa strike, but Bongani Zungu scored late in the second half with two minutes of added time left on the clock.
Mashaba says his team showed a lot of character and determination despite missing a lot of chances.
"For us to score at that time showed a lot of character, a willingness to push for more. It showed a lot of courage from our boys. There was a real fighting spirit.
"During the Afcon we scored first, then conceded and it all went downhill from there. But in this game, they missed a penalty and dropped their heads a bit. Nigeria scored and our players picked themselves up again in search of an equaliser which eventually came."
This is the third time in a row that the two nations have failed to find a winner, the first two occasions was during the home and away leg of the 2015 Afcon qualifiers last year where it ended 0-0 and 2-2 in Cape Town and Uyo, Nigeria.
The teams have now met 12 times and South Africa has only won just once, back in 2004.
Mashaba made seven changes to the side that beat Swaziland mid-week and it brought dividends as they kept Nigeria at bay only for the home side to falter in front of goals.
"I'd like to say well done to our boys for their performance. It's just unfortunate we didn't win, but we should have walked away with this game as it was there for the taking.
"Nigeria were happy with a draw, you could see they were parked at the back not venturing forward."
South Africa could have taken the lead had midfielder Andile Jali not missed a penalty in the second half, and Mashaba believes that slightly took the wind out of the sails.
Mashaba says it's now becoming a concern that his players miss penalties at crucial times.
Jali's miss reminded many of the penalty miss by striker Tokelo Rantie in the opening match of the 2015 Afcon tournament with Bafana leading 1-0 only to go down 3-1.
"Going forward, we will now have a few players who work on penalties because if you get the whole team to do that when a penalty is given everyone looks the other way."

Mr. Mohan Prasad Joshi, a classical maestro, was born in the lap of the himalayas (Nepal) in 1944. At the tender age of five, he got the opportunity to study under Mr. Ganesh Lal Shrestha (First Mayor of Nepalese National Broadcasting Station). Mr. Ganesh Lal Shrestha was the person who brought very big influence in Nepalese music, and he was blind.
The unique performance method of Jal Tarang was taught to Mr. Mohan among all the other pupils of Mr. Ganesh. And he made his debut as a Jal Tarang player when he was 13 years old. He was specially honored with a medal by Late King of Nepal as a Saroud player when he was 18 years old. As a Royal Palace musician, he continued to work as a performer and poured his enthusiasm into guiding his pupils to become his successor.
He was appointed as a Principal of Kala Nidhi Sangit Bidhyalaya ( a music school ) from 1963 AD.
In 1988, he mastered in music from Pragya Sangit Samiti of India.
From 1991, he was appointed as the chairperson of a National Music Academy.
From 1992, he took over the place of Mr. Ganesh Lal Shrestha as the Mayor of the Radio Nepal.
In 2005, he established a Badhya Shiromani Gharana Music School ( a music school ) and is admistering it in the present.
He has also performed in other countries. Other than Japan, he has been to countries like Norway, France, China and many more.
Mr. Mohan's music can be described as the likes of the ancient meditating or healing music of Buddhists in Nepal. His music can heal a person and trap him/her in the ancient dimension without any effort. One of his great lifetime achievement is to see his pupils grow as an artist and see his music bear branches into the hearts of people around the world.
The BGM you hear it now is the opening section of Darabari.
During Buddha's boyhood, his father composed this song to educate him about music.
It is said that due to this, Buddha became a music lover and a kind person at heart.

Border Crossing Operators Fear U.S. Passport Requirement Economic Damage; Bridge & Tunnel Operators Association Expresses Range of Concerns
LEWISTON, N.Y., April 15 /PRNewswire/ — The Bridge & Tunnel Operators Association, composed of ten organizations responsible for the operation of eleven of the major crossings between the United States and Canada, today expressed their concern that the proposed requirement by the U.S. Department of State that all persons entering the U.S. carry passports, including American and Canadian citizens, would have an extensive and damaging impact upon border communities, the economies of 38 states, every province, and the ability of crossing operators to fund border infrastructure improvements. The new rule, scheduled for implementation on January 1, 2008 at the land border, would designate a passport and other, limited, forms of citizenship identification for all persons seeking to enter the U.S. At present, driver's licenses and birth certificates are among the acceptable documents for identification.
"The Bridge & Tunnel Operators Association join with the State Department in encouraging Americans and Canadians to acquire passports, or enroll in the NEXUS or FAST programs as a more desirable means of identification. However, making passports mandatory will end almost all casual travel over the border and threaten the close personal ties that border communities have shared for 150 years," noted BTOA President Thomas Garlock. Philip Becker, BTOA Vice- President, observed that "Many crossings serve one community that happens to be divided by a river. All organizations responsible for any facet of border operations are committed to security, but both countries are well advised to be cautious in regard to the law of unintended consequences. This will clearly have an impact on the economic life of border regions."
A number of areas on the Canada – U.S. border have been tourist destinations for both countries for more than a century. Robert Horr, Executive Director of the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority, said that "This requirement will end the spur-of-the-moment family vacation to our region and the Niagara region. With tourism a major job creator in these areas, economies will suffer."
All crossing operators are concerned that their financial positions will be jeopardized by lower volumes, leading to a need to increase tolls or, for the first time, subsidies for their operations from taxpayer sources. This would come at a time when many of the crossings are engaged in capital projects intended to support border security and the facilitation of trade. The bonds issued for such projects are supported by toll revenues. Operators will ask that the Department of State identify alternative approaches to support the regulation's goals and will work with the Department in that effort.

Pussy Riot announce two brand new songs
The tracks are a "creepy and nightmarish tale" of incarceration

Pussy Riot have announced two brand new tracks titled 'КОШМАРЫ / NIGHTMARES' and 'PONG!' to be self-released this Wednesday (July 18).
The news was revealed in an interview with Crack Magazine, in which the band's Nadya Tolokonnikova and Nikita Chaika say that their new material is inspired by the tradition of the Russian prison chanson – folk ballads written by inmates.
"They belong to everybody, and they have proven to be an amazing tool of empowerment: a good old song that's making fun of prison guards can lift your spirit in a sad moment and, thus, literally save your life," said Tolokonnikova.
"Spirit is pretty much the only one thing that keeps you alive in Russian prison. Building an alternative universe in prisoners' folklore helps to keep valuing and respecting yourself as a human being, even if you're living in a fucking nightmarish hell."
Described by Crack as "pummelling, strobe-y hardcore club and gabber tracks", the new songs will come accompanied with animations by Moscow artist 9cyka. They list Death Grips, Ho99o9 and Kim Gordon among their current influences.
The Russian feminist collective, famous for high-profile protests against the regime in their home nation, made headlines once again yesterday after claiming responsibility for the four people who ran onto the pitch during the World Cup Final between Croatia and France on Sunday (July 15).

In the aftermath, they posted a list of six demands on social media, which you can see below.
They later tweeted: "Current situation: the 4 pussy riot members spent the whole night at the police station (note that there are no conditions to sleep, eat, take a shower etc) and are still there — going to be brought to the court. They are facing charges for administrative offenses so far."

The best female-fronted punk bands
Members of the punk band, including Tolokonnikova, were sentenced to two years' imprisonment on charges of hooliganism after a guerrilla performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in February 2012.
Pitchfork reports that bandmembers Nika Nikulshina, Olga Kurachyova, Olga Pakhtusova and Pyotr Verzilov, who invaded the pitch, have been sentenced to 15 days in prison. They also face fines and are prohibited from attending sports events for three years.
In the Crack interview, the band define their genre as 'digital punk'. They describe their work as being "based on provoking the audience with new mediums, messages, and approaches. We are trying to provoke this horrific effect on the audience."
