Jim's Steaks is a Philadelphia restaurant specializing in cheesesteaks, founded in 1939 on North 62nd Street in West Philadelphia. Jim's Steaks currently has two locations, the original in West Philadelphia and another in Springfield, Pennsylvania. Jim's Steaks owned the restaurant on South Street until 2011.

History

In the 1930s, "Jim and Millie" offered sandwiches from their house in West Philadelphia. In 1939, they converted the house into what became Jim's Steaks. In 1966, William Proetto and his brother, Tom, purchased the restaurant. In 1976, Proetto and Abner Silver opened a second location on South Street. In 1996, a third location was opened in Northeast Philadelphia, but was shut down in July 2017 due to health code violations. A fourth location was opened in 1999 in Springfield, Pennsylvania.

In 2011, Silver took sole ownership the South Street location after Proetto's death. The name of Jim's Steaks on South Street was later changed to Jim's South Street. Jim's Steaks currently operates two locations. The location in Springfield is open while the original West Philadelphia location is temporarily closed for renovations.

Description
Philadelphia magazine's food blog Foobooz listed the Springfield location as one of the "31 Cheesesteaks to Eat Before You Die", describing the restaurant as "black-and-white tile, polished stainless, beef steaming on the grill".

Narrativa
Sus relatos, que el crítico Ricardo González Vigil ha denominado indagaciones, son creaciones literarias hechas a manera de informes de investigación histórica. Tord recalca que sus textos son imaginaciones, mas no ficciones. En uno de esos relatos desarrolla la tesis (literaria) de la perpetuación del culto prehispánico de Pachacámac transfigurado en el culto cristiano del Señor de los Milagros, lo que sirvió de punto de partida para que años después la historiadora María Rostworowski desarrollara su tesis histórica sobre la relación entre ambos cultos. Como nota curiosa, agregaremos que otro de sus relatos o indagaciones, en el que sostiene la existencia de Cide Hamete Benengeli, el supuesto coautor del Quijote de Miguel de Cervantes, está elaborado de manera tan convincente que se dio el caso que unos investigadores árabes solicitaran a Tord a que les mostrara los documentos probatorios que supuestamente había encontrado en el Cusco.

Iraq confirms 13 cholera cases, scores suspected
A cholera outbreak in Iraq has infected at least 13 individuals, with scores more suspected cases being sent for analysis, according to health officials. The majority of the cases are from the northern Kurdistan area.
According to Sabah Hawrami, district health official in the autonomous Kurdistan region, "ten cases of cholera have been recorded in the province" of Sulaimaniyah.
A central laboratory in Baghdad, Iraq's capital, is examining another 56 suspected cases from the same province, as it is the only one capable of making the diagnosis.
According to the health ministry, one case was reported in Kirkuk province, which borders Sulaimaniyah, and two in Muthanna province in the south.
So yet, no deaths have been reported.
In the last six days, "about 4,000 cases of diarrhoea and vomiting have been registered in Sulaimaniyah hospitals," Hawrami said at a press briefing.
Sulaimaniyah, the province capital, has a population of around one million people.
"Cholera is a dreadful disease that is easily treatable. In a matter of hours, we can save lives "He went on to say.
The country's most recent large-scale outbreak occurred in 2015, according to Seif al-Badr, a spokesman for the health ministry.
Hundreds of people became ill in Baghdad's center provinces and Babil's southern provinces during the outbreak.
In the province of Sulaimaniyah, the last cholera cases were reported in 2012.
Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease that can be treated with medications and hydration but can be fatal if not treated quickly.
It's caused by a bacteria that's usually spread by poor hygiene. When people swallow the bug-carrying food or drink, they become infected.
According to the World Health Organization, between 1.3 million and four million cases of cholera are diagnosed each year, resulting in between 21,000 and 143,000 deaths.

Bumping (from the English. Bump - blow, push, collision) - a method of opening locks, based on the transfer of kinetic energy to the pins due to strikes on a specially machined key. The pins are randomly thrown up, and by turning the bump key at the right moment, you can open the lock. This method of hacking leaves no visible marks and works on toggle-pin systems and locks with vertical milling of the secret.
Bump - bumping , opening the lock with bumps. And what is your castle?
The term "bumping" comes from the English word "bump" , which means "knock, hit . " The name quite accurately describes the hacking method: one sharp blow - and the door wide open.
Virtually any cylinder lock, including Mul-t-lock, can be easily opened using bumping , also known as a tapping method. The method is based on the fact that when it strikes the upper pin, it transmits the impact energy to the lower pin, while remaining in place. At the moment of impact, the cylinder must be given a moment of momentum.
To understand how this happens, you need to remember how one of the most popular locking mechanisms in Russia is arranged - the pin cylinder lock, which is also often called English. The "heart" of such a lock is the core. It was he who, turning, actuates the bolt (the same metal "tongue" that "opens" and "closes" the door).
So that the cylinder could "recognize" the native key, vertical channels are drilled in it, into each of which two pins are inserted in a strictly defined position — code and locking (in other words, blocking). When the lock is opened with "its" key, its teeth (or, as they say, professionals, "secrets") line the pins horizontally and vertically in the correct order, the key turns, the cylinder rotates and the door opens.
The invention of bumping in the middle of the last century in Europe greatly facilitated the professional life of the "burghers". The criminal inserts a harvested "blank" into the keyhole and sharply hits it with a small hammer or even with a wooden brush. The bump key hits the coding pins, causing the blocking keys to jump in random order. In one of a fraction of a second, randomly bouncing pins get into the desired position, the criminal turns the "pseudo-key" and the door opens.
In order to open a simple lock, apartment thief is sometimes quite thin steel wire, for more complex models, blanks are made "in general terms" resembling a real key (to create them, the keys to similar locks are often "modified", slightly shortening them and deepening the "cutting") . Such blanks in Russia are called bump keys or "golden keys".
Depending on the complexity of the lock and the quality of the bump key, the door opening time ranges from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. And not so long ago, criminal handymen automated the hacking process by creating a pick gun - a tool such as a "pistol" that strikes a series of blows on the code elements of the locks, making the hacking procedure even faster and easier.


A bridge is just going to send any frames it receives out all ports except the one it received it on. A router will examine the IP destination, and forward it based on it's routing table. Also, a router does not forward broadcasts unless a broadcast relay (also known as IP helper) is configured. The IP helper will actually make the broadcast into an unicast.

Clarithromycin: A semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic derived from ERYTHROMYCIN that is active against a variety of microorganisms. It can inhibit PROTEIN SYNTHESIS in BACTERIA by reversibly binding to the 50S ribosomal subunits. This inhibits the translocation of aminoacyl transfer-RNA and prevents peptide chain elongation.Anti-Bacterial Agents: Substances that reduce the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.Amoxicillin: A broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic similar to AMPICILLIN except that its resistance to gastric acid permits higher serum levels with oral administration.Azithromycin: A semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic structurally related to ERYTHROMYCIN. It has been used in the treatment of Mycobacterium avium intracellulare infections, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis.Helicobacter pylori: A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).Helicobacter Infections: Infections with organisms of the genus HELICOBACTER, particularly, in humans, HELICOBACTER PYLORI. The clinical manifestations are focused in the stomach, usually the gastric mucosa and antrum, and the upper duodenum. This infection plays a major role in the pathogenesis of type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS. It has also been proposed as a radiation sensitizer for hypoxic cells. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985, p133), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck, 11th ed).Erythromycin: A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.Roxithromycin: Semisynthetic derivative of erythromycin. It is concentrated by human phagocytes and is bioactive intracellularly. While the drug is active against a wide spectrum of pathogens, it is particularly effective in the treatment of respiratory and genital tract infections.Omeprazole: A 4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridyl, 5-methoxybenzimidazole derivative of timoprazole that is used in the therapy of STOMACH ULCERS and ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME. The drug inhibits an H(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE which is found in GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS.Anti-Ulcer Agents: Various agents with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate PEPTIC ULCER or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. This has included ANTIBIOTICS to treat HELICOBACTER INFECTIONS; HISTAMINE H2 ANTAGONISTS to reduce GASTRIC ACID secretion; and ANTACIDS for symptomatic relief.Drug Therapy, Combination: Therapy with two or more separate preparations given for a combined effect.Microbial Sensitivity Tests: Any tests that demonstrate the relative efficacy of different chemotherapeutic agents against specific microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses).2-Pyridinylmethylsulfinylbenzimidazoles: Compounds that contain benzimidazole joined to a 2-methylpyridine via a sulfoxide linkage. Several of the compounds in this class are ANTI-ULCER AGENTS that act by inhibiting the POTASSIUM HYDROGEN ATPASE found in the PROTON PUMP of GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS.Rifabutin: A broad-spectrum antibiotic that is being used as prophylaxis against disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection in HIV-positive patients.Bismuth: A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Bi, atomic number 83 and atomic weight 208.98.Ketolides: Compounds based on ERYTHROMYCIN with the 3-cladinose replaced by a ketone. They bind the 23S part of 70S bacterial RIBOSOMES.Lansoprazole: A 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxypyridyl derivative of timoprazole that is used in the therapy of STOMACH ULCERS and ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME. The drug inhibits H(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE which is found in GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS. Lansoprazole is a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-isomers.Macrolides: A group of often glycosylated macrocyclic compounds formed by chain extension of multiple PROPIONATES cyclized into a large (typically 12, 14, or 16)-membered lactone. Macrolides belong to the POLYKETIDES class of natural products, and many members exhibit ANTIBIOTIC properties.Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Infection: A nontuberculous infection when occurring in humans. It is characterized by pulmonary disease, lymphadenitis in children, and systemic disease in AIDS patients. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection of birds and swine results in tuberculosis.Mycobacterium avium Complex: A complex that includes several strains of M. avium. M. intracellulare is not easily distinguished from M. avium and therefore is included in the complex. These organisms are most frequently found in pulmonary secretions from persons with a tuberculous-like mycobacteriosis. Strains of this complex have also been associated with childhood lymphadenitis and AIDS; M. avium alone causes tuberculosis in a variety of birds and other animals, including pigs.RNA, Ribosomal, 23S: Constituent of 50S subunit of prokaryotic ribosomes containing about 3200 nucleotides. 23S rRNA is involved in the initiation of polypeptide synthesis.Tinidazole: A nitroimidazole antitrichomonal agent effective against Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia infections.Ethambutol: An antitubercular agent that inhibits the transfer of mycolic acids into the cell wall of the tubercle bacillus. It may also inhibit the synthesis of spermidine in mycobacteria. The action is usually bactericidal, and the drug can penetrate human cell membranes to exert its lethal effect. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, p863)Penicillins: A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065)Ranitidine: A non-imidazole blocker of those histamine receptors that mediate gastric secretion (H2 receptors). It is used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers.Drug Resistance, Bacterial: The ability of bacteria to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).Mycobacterium avium: A bacterium causing tuberculosis in domestic fowl and other birds. In pigs, it may cause localized and sometimes disseminated disease. The organism occurs occasionally in sheep and cattle. It should be distinguished from the M. avium complex, which infects primarily humans.Proton Pump Inhibitors: Compounds that inhibit H(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE. They are used as ANTI-ULCER AGENTS and sometimes in place of HISTAMINE H2 ANTAGONISTS for GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX.Drug Resistance, Microbial: The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).Peptic Ulcer: Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).Duodenal Ulcer: A PEPTIC ULCER located in the DUODENUM.Dyspepsia: Impaired digestion, especially after eating.Anti-Infective Agents: Substances that prevent infectious agents or organisms from spreading or kill infectious agents in order to prevent the spread of infection.Sulfoxides: Organic compounds that have the general formula R-SO-R. They are obtained by oxidation of mercaptans (analogous to the ketones). (From Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 4th ed)Ofloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA GYRASE, halting DNA REPLICATION.Levofloxacin: The L-isomer of Ofloxacin.Josamycin: A macrolide antibiotic from Streptomyces narbonensis. The drug has antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of pathogens.Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous: Infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (atypical mycobacteria): M. kansasii, M. marinum, M. scrofulaceum, M. flavescens, M. gordonae, M. obuense, M. gilvum, M. duvali, M. szulgai, M. intracellulare (see MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM COMPLEX;), M. xenopi (littorale), M. ulcerans, M. buruli, M. terrae, M. fortuitum (minetti, giae), M. chelonae.Clofazimine: A fat-soluble riminophenazine dye used for the treatment of leprosy. It has been used investigationally in combination with other antimycobacterial drugs to treat Mycobacterium avium infections in AIDS patients. Clofazimine also has a marked anti-inflammatory effect and is given to control the leprosy reaction, erythema nodosum leprosum. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1993, p1619)Rabeprazole: A 4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridinyl derivative of timoprazole that is used in the therapy of STOMACH ULCERS and ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME. The drug inhibits H(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE which is found in GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS.Drug Interactions: The action of a drug that may affect the activity, metabolism, or toxicity of another drug.Fluoroquinolones: A group of QUINOLONES with at least one fluorine atom and a piperazinyl group.Furazolidone: A nitrofuran derivative with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activity. Furazolidone acts by gradual inhibition of monoamine oxidase. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p514)Rifamycins: A group of ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS characterized by a chromophoric naphthohydroquinone group spanned by an aliphatic bridge not previously found in other known ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS. They have been isolated from fermentation broths of Streptomyces mediterranei.Breath Tests: Any tests done on exhaled air.Antibiotics, Antitubercular: Substances obtained from various species of microorganisms that are, alone or in combination with other agents, of use in treating various forms of tuberculosis; most of these agents are merely bacteriostatic, induce resistance in the organisms, and may be toxic.Antitrichomonal Agents: Agents used to treat trichomonas infections.Tetracycline: A naphthacene antibiotic that inhibits AMINO ACYL TRNA binding during protein synthesis.Mycobacterium Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus MYCOBACTERIUM.Rifampin: A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis.

Explore the Enterprise Like Never Before
STAR TREK The Video Game Developers
February 12, 2013 12:52 AM PST
For more than four decades, the U.S.S. Enterprise has been a majestic icon of adventure and excitement. On board, her crew explores strange new worlds, seeks out new civilizations .
But what fans have known of the iconic starship has largely been limited to what is seen in movies and on television. That will change on April 23 when STAR TREK The Video Game gives players a deeper and much more interactive look inside the U.S.S. Enterprise.
"One of the great joys of video games is the opportunity to take audiences to places that are only hinted at in traditional film and TV projects," said Brian Miller, senior vice president of Paramount Pictures and executive producer of STAR TREK The Video Game. "Giving gamers the opportunity to explore the U.S.S. Enterprise is one of the more exciting aspects of our video game and one that we can't wait to share with Star Trek fans and gamers worldwide."
Playing as Kirk and Spock, gamers must face-off against the villainous Gorn - the formidable enemy first introduced in the classic 1967 Star Trek television episode "Arena." Their battles will take them into familiar locations, like the bridge, transporter room and the engine room - but also deep into many areas of the ship that have never been seen on film before, including the Enterprise's turbolift shafts, observation lounge, engineering decks and officer's quarters.
The producers and development team of STAR TREK The Video Game worked closely with the entire creative team responsible for the re-imagined 2009 blockbuster Star Trek film to ensure what players see will look and feel remarkably authentic.
"The Enterprise is not just a ship - she is one of the most important characters in all of Star Trek. Our goal from day one was to make sure that the Enterprise looks, feels and even sounds as true to life as anything players have ever seen," Miller said. "Hopefully, players will come away feeling as if they're ready to be part of the crew themselves!"

Photo Gallery: Cyprus & Crete
K.T. Comer travels around the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Beginning her adventures in the southern resort of Ayia Napa, she checks out the beach party scene, before moving on to the ruins of Kourion to catch a midsummer's day festival in honour of the ancient Greek god Apollo.
From nearby Limassol, she then heads out to sea to go freediving with the Cypriot national champion Costas Kyriakou, one of the world's top freedivers, who can dive to a depth of over 200 feet whilst holding his breath. From the coast she travels inland to the island's most revered Greek Orthodox monastery at Kykkos. Next she heads on to Nicosia, the world's last divided capital city, straddling the UN-patrolled buffer zone between Greek-dominated southern Cyprus and the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
After listening to the inspirational Bicommunal Choir for Peace, whose members are both Greek and Turkish Cypriot, she ends her journey in Kyrenia on the northern coast watching the famously beautiful sunset.
Meanwhile, traveller Adela Ucar Innerarity heads to the Greek island of Crete to learn more about the island's past in World War II and experience its stunning natural beauty along one of Europe's most popular walking trails: the E4.
Adela begins her journey in Hania – a bustling harbour town replete with Venetian and Turkish architecture. Adela has timed her visit to coincide with the commemoration of the 1941 Battle of Crete – the last time the island was invaded and when the Germans drove out the Allied forces to occupy the island for the remainder of World War II.
Adela meets up with veterans of the war and retraces their experiences, from Maleme in the west where the battle began, through the rugged interior and over the towering white mountains before reaching the southern coast at Hora Sfakion, from where the majority of Allied troops evacuated the island.
From Hora Sfakion Adela then joins the E4 Trail, heading west to the idyllic fishing village of Loutro and Agia Roumelli. She then hops on a boat before rejoining the trail at Sougia – catching the Byzantine ruins at Lisso before continuing on to Paleohora. Her journey ends on the far westerly coast at the stunning beach of Elafonnissi.

Industrial complex given the go-ahead
CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a huge industrial estate on the outskirts of Crewe have been given the green light.
Proposals for the Basford West project, which includes warehousing, manufacturing and office buildings up to 25m tall, were approved by planning chiefs on Thursday.
Despite almost 1,500 letters of objection to the proposals, Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council has given the go-ahead, citing the creation of thousands of jobs and a multi-million pound donation to transport improvements as key reasons.
Speaking at the development control committee meeting, Cllr Peter Hallett said: "I welcome any development to the borough which will bring employment. I am loathe to go against this because if we go to appeal we would lose it and the amendments would also be lost."
The committee estimates at least 1,500 jobs would be created in warehousing alone, but it is the contribution to road and transport improvements, including a £3.2m payment for the Crewe Green Link Road, which have particularly found favour.
However, Cllr Maureen Campbell said: "There doesn't seem to be any common sense with this. These are green fields and once they are lost they are gone.
"There's absolute gridlock on a daily basis but we are carrying on giving it more gridlock. As far as I'm concerned, the money being given is peanuts."
Developer Taylor-Woodrow has promised that the development will include wildlife habitat areas, a woodland buffer of up to 80m thick along the A500, and that pedestrian and cycle routes will be provided to link with the existing networks.
Committee deputy chairman Cllr Chris Thorley said: "People don't like change but this development isn't for change's sake. It's for the interest of generations to come."
Cllr David Brickhill, portfolio holder for economic development, added: "The pressure on us for economic development is very great indeed. We need those jobs, especially with recession in mind, and it's our job to ensure the prosperity of people who live here."
A similar plan for the neighbouring site of Basford East could be now pushed through, but Basford East Basford West Action Group (BEBWAG) spokesman Gustav Pilsel warned: "We will just keep rocking the boat until we get more support. It isn't over until the fat lady sings."

Introducing Generation Wave Scuba in Cochrane, Alberta
By Kathy Dowsett January 24, 2023 No Comments
Image via Facebook
We love to scuba dive. And we hope it comes through. It's a basic human need, exploring the world and searching for adventure. If you look at history, we're scattered across the globe now, because we've been driven by that need to explore. We've been about diving for a very long time. We've made a career out of it and are very passionate about it. We can't get enough of it. It continues to change our lives. We believe that once you train a diver, and teach them to dive safely, they tend to care about the ocean, about its conservation and ecology, and about its preservation and protecting it. The more people that we can bring in as certified divers and teach them these things, the better off that stewardship will be along with the survivability and future of our oceans. We think the earth needs a little bit more of that. If you have that drive for adventure and exploration, we would love to help get you started.
Welcome to the largest fully stocked inventory selection of snorkelling, and scuba diving equipment in the Cochrane, Alberta area. As one of Canada's newest dive shops, we are proud to offer the largest brand selection available and we recommend only the best brands in scuba, manufactured of the highest quality and design to maximize comfort when diving. Come visit Generation Wave Scuba and see our impressive scuba gear selection. Our friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced advisors will help you choose the right gear.

In 2012 I took my PADI open water, and was quite amazed on how tranquil and relaxing diving was. In 2015 I made the decision to go pro and became a PADI Divemaster, which was an amazing experience to see new open water students take their first breath underwater. The look on the students face and how it made both the instructor and I feel knowing that something we love to do so much can make others feel the same way, I was hooked. August 11, 2016 I became a PADI Open Water Instructor and what an amazing accomplishment for myself as now I instruct students on how to take their first breath underwater, no words can describe the feeling you get when you look into their eyes while they take that first breath, absolutely amazing. I had no urge to go further up the PADI ladder, but somebody had different plans for me.
In 2018 my son was diagnosed with cancer, while doing his treatments a lot of kids would ask me about my diving tattoos and how they wished they could go diving. I contacted PADI to see if this could become reality for these kids and later that year I became a DDI Instructor (Disabled Divers International Instructor) where I learned how to teach students with disabilities (blind, paraplegic, autistic) how to dive. I am affiliated with Children's Wish Foundation, anyone who wants to dive and can have their doctor sign off on them, PADI Canada and myself will teach that student and their family free of charge.
In August I also became a Master Scuba Diver Instructor, then IDC Staff Instructor, and in April 2021 I achieved Master Instructor status. For someone who just wanted to be an instructor and nothing more I started moving up the PADI Ladder and instructing more and more students to blow bubbles underwater. On May 16, 2022 and 700+ student certifications I achieved my end goal, I am now a PADI Course Director (1% of divers achieve this) now not only do I still get to teach students to blow bubbles underwater, now I also get to teach instructors how to teach students to blow bubbles under water. I hope to see and meet you out blowing bubbles someday….

SPIDER MAN VOICE ACTOR WANTED!
ANYWHO, my name is Skullznhero and I have a weekly gaming podcast/cartoon hybrid that I am currently working on. As the genre suggest, these episodes are all about video games starring myself (skullznhero) and my friend (Shnorty). The podcast is called SKULLZNHERO VS THE WORLD and is best described like a late night talk show for video games. We are currently three episodes in and would like to expand the entertainment part of the show by inviting "game characters" on to talk.
So we need voice actors!
-This is NOT a paid gig (sorry!).
-The most I can offer you is credits on our intro and links to your work in our description box.
- We are a VERY small youtube channel.
- We have about 60 subscribers.
- Each video has a slow steady climb in views, just about matching our subs.
- We do this podcast because we love podcasts and video games.
- We work fast, I try to record, edit, animate, and post in about two days since that's about all the time I can spare on this.
If I haven't lost you yet, awesome! If I did... GOOD RIDDANCE, I NEEDED YA-er I mean, WHO NEEDS YA!?
So yes, I need voice actors to play video game characters, with this week's episode in specific need of a PETER PARKER/SPIDER MAN voice. If this sounds like you, please do not hesitate to PM me asap!
I hope to hear from ya'all very soon, and I'm looking forward to working with creative folks!


When outside is hot you want fast, light and refreshing recipes. Popsicle are a wonderful idea for dessert, but as a main course?What about a pearl barley tuna salad with fresh tomatoes and olives? Easy to make, you can prepare it in advance and refrigerate so that it will be nice and refreshing when you will serve it.
The secret of this salad stays in the freshness and good quality of the ingredients: fresh seasonal tomatoes, red juicy and sweet, tasty canned albacore tuna in extravirgin oil of olive and a bunch of unsalted pistachios to give a crunchy touch.
The main ingredient is barley, of course, pearl barley. Easy to cook, it is a nutritious grain and a good source of fiber, energy, protein, vitamins and minerals. I really like its texture: softer than rice, still crunchy but with a lot of body. Perfect for cold salads!
Very kids friendly and perfect for a bbq party too!!

Q: How to print the list of args and kwargs In my code, I have many places where I pass a function and its arguments to another function. For debugging purposes, I want to print the name of the function and the list of arguments. For example
def process(f, *args, **kwargs):
    print("processing " + print_func(f, args, kwargs))

The expected output for
    process(myfunc, 1,2, a="A",b=0) should be "processing myfunc(1,2,a="A", b=0)"
I made some progress printing the args as follows:
def print_func(f, *args, **kwarg):
    func_str = f.__name__ + "("
    if len(args) > 0:
        func_str = func_str + (', '.join(['%.2f']*len(x)) % args)
     func_str = func_str + ")"

which in the example above will produce the output processing myfunc(1,2)
The problem I have is how to print the kwargs. I can't figure out a similar solution using a dynamic formatting string for printing it as a sequence of k=v pairs separated by ",".
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

A: To format args and kwargs, you can simply iterate over them and create your string representation
def process(my_func, *args, **kwargs):

    #Iterate over all args, convert them to str, and join them
    args_str = ','.join(map(str,args))

    #Iterater over all kwargs, convert them into k=v and join them
    kwargs_str = ','.join('{}={}'.format(k,v) for k,v in kwargs.items())

    #Or using f-strings
    #kwargs_str = ','.join(f'{k}={v}' for k,v in kwargs.items()

    #Form the final representation by adding func name
    return "processing {}({})".format(my_func.__name__, ','.join([args_str,kwargs_str]))

    #Or using f-strings
    #return f"processing {my_func.__name__}({','.join([args_str,kwargs_str])})"

print(process(my_func, 1,2, a="A",b=0))

The output will be
processing my_func(1,2,a=A,b=0)

A: You can do it by creating an annotation like this
def printArgs(my_func):
    def wrapper(*arg, **kwargs):
        print("{}({})".format(my_func.__name__, ','.join([str(arg),str(kwargs)])))
        return my_func(*arg, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

@printArgs
def a_function_where_you_want_to_print_args(arg1, arg2, arg3="arg3"):
    pass

a_function_where_you_want_to_print_args(1,2, arg3="b")

This will print "a_function_where_you_want_to_print_args((1, 2),{'arg3': 'b'})"

Snowbasin Resort Announces Partnership with Epic Pass for 2019-2020 Season
By Megan Collins • Wed Feb 06 2019 • Skiing, Snowbasin Report, Upcoming Events
Snowbasin and Sun Valley announced today that they are joining the industry-leading Epic Pass in a multi-year alliance beginning with 2019-20 winter season. Both Snowbasin and Sun Valley remain independently-owned and operated and are pleased to participate in the Epic Pass. This new season pass alliance offers broad appeal for many pass holders. Snowbasin season passes go on sale in early-March.
"Snowbasin and Sun Valley are crown jewels of our family-owned businesses and we are always looking for new ways to provide outstanding service to our guests," noted Carol Holding, whose husband, Earl, bought Sun Valley in 1977. "As we remain committed to investing in and operating our properties for many years to come, this multi-year alliance with the Epic Pass will bring value to our pass holders and introduce more guests to our unique traditions."
"As one of the most accessible and historic ski areas in North America, Snowbasin is pleased to offer Epic Pass holders another option in Utah," said Davy Ratchford, Snowbasin's General Manager. "This will also greatly benefit Snowbasin's longtime clientele with expanded access to resorts across the globe."
Snowbasin has been busy enhancing on-mountain skiing and riding with the improved Mt. Ogden Bowl Road, which has been widened and graded to provide a better skiing and riding experience down from John Paul Lodge. Additional snowmaking and the implementation of multiple highly-efficient snowmaking guns also highlight Snowbasin's commitment to the environment and provide guests with the best early season conditions. The day lodges will undergo renovations that will be ready for the 2019-20 season.
"Together with nearby Park City Mountain Resort, Snowbasin has an incredibly rich winter sports history and this expanded access provides two great options for Epic Pass holders in Utah," said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts.
In the 2019-20 ski season, Epic Pass holders will have direct-to-lift access to Snowbasin and Sun Valley. Following are the benefits available to guests commencing with the 2019-20 season:
Snowbasin Premier Season Pass holders: Guests with these unrestricted passes will receive 50 percent off the one-day window lift ticket price at all Vail Resorts-owned and operated destinations.
Epic Pass™: Epic Pass holders will receive multiple days of skiing or snowboarding with no blackout dates at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin and 50 percent off one-day window lift ticket prices after their respective days have been redeemed.
Epic Local Pass™: Epic Local Pass holders will receive two days of skiing or snowboarding with limited restrictions at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin and 50 percent off one-day window lift ticket prices after their respective days have been redeemed.
Epic 7-Day Pass™: Epic 7-Day Pass holders will receive up to seven days of skiing or snowboarding at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin, with no blackout dates, as part of their seven total days on the pass, beginning with the 2019-20 winter season. After the seven days, regardless of the resort at which they were redeemed, pass holders will receive 50 percent off the one-day window lift ticket price at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin.
Epic 4-Day™: Epic 4-Day Pass holders will receive up to four days of skiing or snowboarding at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin, with no blackout dates, as part of their four total days on the pass, beginning with the 2019-20 winter season. After the four days, regardless of the resort at which they were redeemed, pass holders will receive 50 percent off the one-day window lift ticket price at both Sun Valley and Snowbasin.

The proto-Kryptodrakon is the first finding of the missing link between primitive pterosaurs and the more advanced sort with elongated fingers.
Scientists on Thursday announced the finding of a fossil from 163 million years ago, that is the oldest-known example of advanced flying reptiles that would oust the pterodactyls as king of the prehistoric skies.
The newly identified Jurassic-period creature was a progenitor of the beast named Kryptodrakon, that was unearthed in the Gobi desert in northwestern China. It was rather small, with a wingspan of perhaps 4-1/2 feet.
The pterosaurs arose during the Triassic period not long after their cousins, the dinosaurs, also made their debut. Their wings were supported by an incredibly elongated fourth digit of the hand - the "pinky finger."
The pterosaurs remained largely unchanged for tens of millions of years and none became very big. But later during the Jurassic period, some developed anatomical changes that heralded the arrival of a new branch called pterodactyloids that eventually replaced the more primitive forms of pterosaurs.
Many of these pterodactyloids had massive, elongated heads topped with huge crests, lost their teeth and grew to huge sizes. Later Jurassic fliers were truly colossal. Quetzalcoatlus boasted a wingspan of about 35 feet, about the same as that of an F-16 fighter.
Perhaps the defining characteristic of the group is an elongation in the bone at the base of the fourth finger called the fourth metacarpal, and Kryptodrakon is the oldest known pterosaur to have this advance, the researchers said.

Most recently, nearly 140 Comcast employees and their family members from across Michigan teamed up with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint to set up a one-stop shop and get much-needed information and resources in the hands of impacted Flint residents.
More than 400 families were served that morning:
Volunteers passed out 300+ water filters, 300+ replacement cartridges and nearly 200 water testing kits.
More than 30 pallets of individual serving-sized bottled water were distributed as well as more than 400 multi-gallon jugs. In addition to loading the water right into the residents' vehicles, some volunteers canvassed neighborhoods where residents couldn't easily come to us and brought the much-needed resources to them.
Nearly 100 Flint families signed up for curb-side recycling to help keep the empty plastic bottles out of landfills.
Comcast couldn't have made such a tremendous impact without the leadership and compassion of our local Flint employees and our invaluable partnership with the Boys & Girls Club. We'll continue looking for ways to support the people of Flint.

Moscow (CNN) As Turkish forces amass along the Syrian border and US forces draw back, one winner could be Russia.
Russia is already by far the strongest foreign power operating in Syria, and President Vladimir Putin has allied himself with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, throwing the full weight of the Russian military behind the Syrian Army.
Now, a planned Turkish operation to "clear" Kurdish forces from the Northeastern Syrian border zone could give Putin a chance to expand Russian influence — to the alarrm of US hawks.
Russia's footprint in Syria
Russia's main base in Syria is the airfield at Hmeimin on the Mediterranean coast, close to the city of Latakia. It's more than just an airbase: Much of Russia's senior military personnel running the Syria campaign are also stationed there. The base also houses the Russian army's deconfliction center, which communicated with the US-led coalition to keep the two sides' warplanes out of each others' ways.
Further south, Syria's port of Tartus holds Moscow's main naval base, and its only base in the Mediterranean Sea. Russian submarines and warships equipped with cruise missiles often fired at ISIS and anti-Assad rebel groups when combat in Syria was still intense. At the height of the Syrian conflict, Russia also had a substantial presence of ground forces in the country. It appears to have withdrawn some of those troops as combat operations wound down.
And on top of its military presence in Syria, Moscow is also making economic moves in Syria. Russian oil and gas firms have gained contracts for the exploitation of hydrocarbons in Eastern Syria.
How Russia sees the US withdrawal
Russia wants the US to leave Syria, and has repeatedly stated that it believes the US is in Syria illegally.
On Wednesday, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said he still did not believe that Trump would follow through on his announcement to withdraw US forces. "Donald Trump has indeed stated many times that he will withdraw his troops from Syria and from other countries. Then actual doers put brakes on this. I do not exclude that we are now observing something similar," Lavrov said at an event in the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan.
Russia supports the disputed Syrian government, while Turkey backs one of Syria's main rebel groups. Though Russia and Turkey support opposing sides in the Syrian civil war, Russia would certainly welcome a full US withdrawal from Syria because it would give Moscow even more leverage — not just in shaping Syria's future, but across the entire Middle.
Would Russia support a Turkish invasion?
Turkey plans to enter Syria and drive back Kurdish fighters from a large swathe of land near the border. While Turkey has become an ever more important partner for Russia both in Syria and on the international political stage, Russia does not appear to endorse Turkey's announced military operations.
The reason for this simple: As an ally of the Assad government, Russia's stated goal is winning back all of Syria's territory from rebels and pro-US forces, and Turkey's cross-border operation could become a longer-term breach of territorial sovereignty.
On Wednesday, Damascus blasted Turkey's announcement that it wants to move troops into Syria. "The aggressive behavior of the Erdogan regime clearly shows the Turkish expansionist ambitions in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic and cannot be justified under any pretext," a statement from Syria's foreign ministry said.
But Russia is also keen to cater to its Turkish allies, and has offered to negotiate with all sides for a solution. "We are in touch with both the representatives of the Kurdish side and the representatives of the government, and we are encouraging them to start a dialogue to resolve the problems of this part of Syria, including the problems of ensuring security on the Turkish-Syrian border," Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
But can Russia deliver?
Russia could not stop Turkey from moving into Northern Syria and ousting Kurdish forces — but it could potentially reduce the bloodshed through mediation.
Putin spoke with Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, and the Turkish President seemed to indicate that it was only a matter of when — not if — his forces would cross the Syrian border. According to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, Erdogan told Putin that the military operation would contribute to peace and stability in Syria, and pave the way for political process in the country.
However, Putin could prevent a larger bloodbath. The formerly US-aligned Kurdish forces which the Turks are trying to "clear" from the area are not against the Syrian government and not against Russia either.
In fact Kurdish fighters from the same organization fighting on America's side against ISIS have also fought on the side of Russia and the Syrian government. During the Battle of Aleppo, they fought against anti-Assad rebels. The Russians and the Syrian government have always maintained contact with the Kurds, in hopes of getting them to submit to Syrian government rule, and the Syrian Army maintains a presence in the Kurdish-held areas.
Now Russia's moment may have arrived. Moscow wields influence with Ankara, Damascus and the Kurds. A statement from the Kurdish-led authorities on Wednesday seemed telling, the saying they welcomed statements by Russia's foreign minister and hoped that Russia would play a role in de-escalating the situation.
US concerns over Russia's role
Critics of Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria have pointed specifically to Russia's expanding influence as a concern
"A precipitous withdrawal of US forces from Syria would only benefit Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime," tweeted US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, usually a staunch Trump ally and one of the most vocal critics of the pull-back.

I moved to Tucson in 1985 to attend the University of Arizona, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I fell in love with Tucson and the Sonoran desert and never left. I am an avid night sky photographer, taking pictures of the Milky Way galaxy and star trails. I also take pictures of astronomical events like eclipses and meteor showers. I have always been interested in photography, starting out in 35mm film and then converting to digital. My major in college was radio/television with a minor in art.
Tucson Happenings is devoted to our local artists and have been publishing monthly artist profiles for years. This page will list many artists that have profiled since we went digital in May of 2015.
Hello, and welcome to Tucson 360! Look around, because this is a 360-degree video providing you a unique look at The International Wildlife Museum, located 10 minutes west of I-10 on Speedway in Tucson Arizona. This short immersive 360-degree video includes 11 different views of this world-class museum. Feel free to pause and look around with your mouse, finger or, if you're on a smartphone, you may be able to look around as if you are standing here with us.
Origami containers are fun to make and use, and this particular basket is one of my favorites! I often use it to hold a small gift to accompany a "Get-Well" card or a "Thinking of You" greeting. Also, it is great to fill with origami flowers to celebrate Springtime. And of course, it makes a great little treat basket for the Easter Holidays, filled with your favorite chocolate treats!
But I couldn't get to sleep. Because all I could think about was those amazing shoes. I've always had a weakness for plastic shoes. That might be blamed on identifying with Cinderella, but I think it was because my Mom had saved several pairs of plastic shoes from her youth, and they were mine to play with. One pair of sandals had clear heels that could be filled with ANYTHING. When my mother had gotten the shoes, the thing to do was put live goldfish in water inside. She did, and in the course of an evening traipsing around Manhattan, the poor things died in service to fashion.


One of the centerpiece projects of Lee Laboratories has been the Center for Affordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical Devices (CANPBD). CANPBD's has been to develop polymer-based, low-cost nanomaterials and nanoengineering technology to produce advanced medical diagnostic devices, cellbased devices, and multifunctional polymer-nanoparticle-biomolecule nanostructures for next-generation medical and pharmaceutical applications. Although challenging, this goal provides opportunities for scientific breakthroughs, cutting edge technologies and novel interdisciplinary system integration. Fundamental science and engineering has been one of the major foci of our center. In Phase I, many useful nanotechnologies, devices and nanoconstructs have been developed. Each has specific merits and value-added capabilities providing for near-term applications. Following this success, we plan to establish a nanotechnology pipeline in Phase II to address the need for (1) 'up-stream' fundamental science, (2) high risk technologies meeting long-term research objectives, and (3) 'down-stream' devices and nanoconstructs requiring integrated system-level effort.

Our clinic turns ten years old this month!!!!
At some point I will write down the whole Brooklyn Acupuncture Project story thus far, as it has been one that is sure to inspire and fill the hearts of all who hear. For now, I will tell a little more of the story (I shared some in a newsletter last year at this time) and let it continue to unfold.
I had the vision for the clinic in a Vipassana mediation in June 2007; though I saw it in either DUMBO or Northampton, Mass at that time. Through a sequence of events I can only describe as grace, the people/places/and things to move the project forward in Gowanus opened into manifestation.
In the early days, we were in a smaller space on the 4th floor. We had the "invisible receptionist," a somewhat reliable system of registration and payment that allowed people to sign up on a sheet of paper on the wall and pay with envelopes in a drop box. We flyered at the farmers markets, gave talks at the Park Slope Food Coop, and showed up every day even when there were no people on the schedule. The sliding scale was 18-30 dollars and our logo was lady liberty with a revolution fist. We definitely did not have a computer. At that time, only the pizza place downstairs and the two restaurants on the corners of 12th and 13th were here. Though the magic of word of mouth, we got steadily busier over the next few months and by the summer, we were humming along with 5-10 people/day.
We have continued to grow in a natural pace that has surprised and greatly pushed me out of my comfort zone continuously. Indeed, the past ten years has taught me more about love, leadership, and letting go than I would have ever imagined. Today, we see over 200 people/week, have an all star reception team, and some of the finest healers in the city offering treatments. We are now officially the "Best of Brooklyn" and have the utmost sweetest clients of all time. We always joke that even if you are not so nice, when you walk past the elevator doors into the clinic, somehow you are transformed. There is a beautiful energy field that we all create that is responsible for the healing vibration that occurs here.
I want to thank each and every one of you (which is all of you) that have played a part in shaping BAP. I want to especially thank the people who have given so much love to the clinic through the years and who continue to share their light with us!
Brittany Griffen, Melissa Little, Kidada Fields, Christopher Peacock, Alexandra Garcia, Donna Hernandez, Evie Ellman, Nikole Sturgis, Jennifer Sawyer, Kate Flynn, Saruh Lacoff, Erica Evans, Liz Roper, and Madeline Lynch; thank you. To all the therapists who share the space with us and offer their healing ways, thank you. To all the people who have come and gone and shared some of your heart with us, thank you.
May the growing light of this season shine on the clinic and each and every person who walks through our doors. May the healing and illumination cultivated at BAP be shared with all beings.
We will celebrate with two Acupuncture Sound Bath's next weekend! Please register to hold your place as space is limited and we are bound to fill up.
