Stella (next 2 pictures). Parents unknown.
Shadow (next 2 pictures)--Parents unknown.
Crystal (I called her Blair on the paperwork because I activated it before I knew her).
Always thought to be a purebred, but history not exactly known.


Nice content however the black and white is too pale. I mean the contrast seems too low and I'd like to see the subjects brighter. Jacko.
overall i think the combination is too dark, both the photos and the borders. i'm not understanding the theme vs. title very well.
Interesting composition. I would like to see what the color version looks like. Black & white is nice though.

Watching Our Water Ways Environmental reporter Christopher Dunagan discusses the challenges of protecting Puget Sound and all things water-related.

Amusing Monday: Rare beauty, adventure shown in national parks photos
Christopher Dunagan
Auburn photographer Scott Eliot was named this year's winner in the "Night Skies" category of the "Share the Experience" photo contest for this stunning image of stars over Mount Rainier.
Night Skies winner: Mount Rainier by Scott Eliot.
The annual contest, sponsored by the National Park Foundation, invites amateur photographers to submit their favorite views, moments and adventures from America's national parks and public lands. See all the winning photos on the NPF Blog.
As Scott described it when posting his photo to the contest website last year: "The early morning hours of late July begins to bring the Milky Way into alignment with Mt. Rainier from a vantage point along the Silver Forest Trail on the Sunrise Plateau of Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington state.
"A mid-summers new moon and clear skies were the only occasion necessary to spend a peaceful night out alone for some astrophotography composing the Milky Way with Mt. Rainier, before the Pacific Northwest weather changed its mind.," he continued.
"The stillness at 2 a.m. was broken only by the sound of the rushing White River far below in the Glacier Basin as I composed and captured this image. I did have the company of climbers traversing the mountain most of the early hours, which you can find in the image, making their way to the mountain summit with a constant chain of lights."
Grand Prize winner: Backcountry snowboarder by Ching Fu
The Grand Prize winner in the contest is Ching Fu of Asheville, North Carolina, who captured this photo of a backcountry snowboarder in Bridger-Teton National Forest.
"After a couple hours of skinning uphill, we came out to this ridge to get a better view of where we wanted to ride back down," he wrote. "This was the scene in front of us. The pristine snow-covered slopes, the sea of trees, the mountains, and particularly the lighting just stopped me in my tracks."
The Grand Prize winner will receive $10,000, and the winning image will be featured on the America the Beautiful Pass, which will get you into national parks and federal recreational lands throughout the country. In 2015, Cameron Teller of Seattle, a former Kitsap County resident, claimed the top honors, as I described in Water Ways, May 4, 2015.
"These photos are a window into the incredible experiences that await us at national parks and public lands across the country," Will Shafroth, president of the National Park Foundation, said in a news release. "This annual contest is a great example of how committed partners help inspire people to get out and explore these diverse places of beauty that belong to all of us."
Adventure & Recreation winner: Olympic National Park by Ashley Kerkemeyer
This year, about 1,400 photographers submitted more than 8,000 photos. And, for the first time in the contest's history, the top three prize winners and the "fan favorite" were all photos taken in the same state — Wyoming.
"Perhaps that's fitting," wrote Suzanne Rowan Kelleher, contributor to Forbes magazine, "given that Wyoming is home to the first national park (Yellowstone), the first national monument (Devils Tower) and the first national forest (Shoshone) as well as 25 national historic landmarks and 11 nationally recognized areas, trails and monuments."
Olympic National Park also makes an appearance in this year's photo contest, with a photograph by Ashley Kerkemeyer, whose camera captured her 6-year-old daughter, Lillie, in a laid-back position enjoying the outdoors.
"In 2017, my husband and I decided to sell our house, quit our jobs, buy an RV and travel around the country with our two daughters, Lillie and Lennon, before they started school," wrote Ashley, who is from Meridian, Idaho. "This photo is of my oldest daughter and was taken a few months into our travels while we were in Olympic National Park.
"While this photo doesn't display the best composition/lighting that a great photo should have, I love it despite its flaws because it represents her to a T," she added. "She's a happy, kind, free spirited kid who is happiest when she's outside. When she's in nature she seems connected to it, and I can see her come alive — which makes my heart happy!"
Second place: Bison by Joe Neely
Second-place in the contest went to Joe Neely of Phoenix, Arizona, who spent a week in Yellowstone National Park to fulfill his vision of capturing an image of a bison coming out of a fog.
"I had tried multiple times around various areas during prior visits, near the geysers, during sunsets and even while on paid park tour, but I had no luck" he wrote. "But this photo happened in the most unlikely of places, up on the northern range near a pull-out where we had to stop because the snow flurry and fog was becoming too dense to see. I chose this image because, at first glance, it seems like an intense stare down with a frozen beast. But really it is just a powerful image that captures the harsh winter conditions that these Yellowstone bison endure as a way of life."
The photo at the bottom of this page is the third-place winner taken by Adam Jewell of Conshoshocken, Penn., at Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park. This vantage point lies on the Snake River east of Grand Teton near Jackson Hole.
"When I drove down the road, the pair of moose were walking on the bank opposite the parking area," Adam wrote. "When the moose popped out of the woods in the water in front of the Teton Mountains, I grabbed a camera and took a few shots. It was a case of being in the right place in the right time.
"It's not too difficult to find a beautiful landscape to photograph in the national parks," he said. "If you wander around long enough with a telephoto lens, chances are you'll get some nice photos of whatever wildlife is native to the area. When you get really lucky, the two combine in one scene at sunrise or sunset, you happen to have a camera with you and you get an image that shows all the elements of that particular ecosystem.
The 2019 Share the Experience photo contest is now open. For rules, prizes and submission information, go to the contest's official webpage, sharetheexperience.org.

Apple Found Guilty of Infringing U. of Wisconsin Patent
Article Comments 18
Oct 13, 2015, 6:00 PM by Eric M. Zeman @zeman_e
Apple is facing a massive judgment in a patent complaint concerning processors found in the iPhone and iPad. A jury in Madison, Wisconsin, found Apple guilty of using a patent owned by the University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) without permission. The patent involves increasing the efficiency of chips. The technology is found in the A7, A8, and A8x processors, which power the iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus, and the iPad Air 2. Apple sought to have the patent declared invalid, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected Apple's bid. WARF originally filed the lawsuit in January 2014 and just recently filed a second lawsuit concerning the A9 and A9x chips, which are in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and the forthcoming iPad Pro. Apple could be on the hook for up to $862 million. The trial is now moving to the penalty phase to determine how much Apple owes. Apple maintained its innocence.

Hmm, Im torn about this one...
Apple is the king of the patent trolls, so it Is kind of karmic.
Then again, WARF is kind of a patent troll organization themselves, I mean how many colleges sue for patent infringement? When you read some of the other suits they have filed for their "patents", Id say some of them definitely Are bogus, patent troll type.
And if you read the long boring contested patent where they try to dazzle with 50 pages of deep technobabble, its not exactly breaking new ground, its when a CPU makes a wrong prediction, it makes a table of those mistakes to help it predict more accurately next time.
That's a basic feature of most CPU's for years, some even before their patent, and just because everyone else (like Intel) just rolled over and pa...

The patent system is very much flawed. I dare say I could patent and own you if I submit my application.
Listen, I get it
But really, was anyone going to use that patient for anything massive or significant? We know the answer to that.
Apple should pay them fairly of course - but being real for a second, they were the only ones who were making significant use of it.
Any REAL scientist or inventor doesn't patient ideas/inventions. If you don't believe me, watch Cosmos - so many geniuses opted out of making a fortune or claiming intellectual property, because they were interested in FAR more than just money or fame.

Yes in a utopian society no one would, but this is capitalism

They should enforce an injunction against all infringing iPhones immediately.
I find it hilarious how patent cases tried in Apple's home town always go in their favor. But as soon as someone tries one in a less biased court we find out what the law really thinks of Apple's shenanigans. Lucy Koh must be furious.

The Grave of the Viking Warrior Woman
By M.P. Pellicer | Stranger Than Fiction Stories
Already in the early middle ages, there were narratives about fierce female Vikings fighting alongside men. Although, continuously reoccurring in art as well as in poetry, the women warriors have generally been dismissed as mythological phenomena.
Illustration based on the original plan of grave Bj 581
Northern Europe is replete with evidence of Viking Age warrior graves. During the 8th to late 10th century, Birka (Birch Island), located on the island of Björkö, was at a crossroads for trade, situated in Eastern Central Sweden. Its position in Lake Mälaren, which was linked to the Baltic Sea by the Södertälje Canal placed it at the center of an economic, cultural and social network that extended eastward beyond the Ural Mountains into the Caliphate and south into the Byzantine Empire, and the Arab world.
Birka's population averaged at about 900 persons that were made of warriors, artisans and merchants. It was unique in its the urban culture when compared to the surrounding region. Proof of its diverse contact and cultural influences from other places is reflected in its different burial practices.
Approximately a third of its 3,000 graves have been excavated. The graveyard is distributed in a circle around the town area.
According to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology There was one grave (BJ 581) that was complete and furnished with the accouterments belonging to a warrior. It was placed on an elevated terrace, and marked by a large, stone boulder where it was in direct contact with the Warrior's Hall, where a garrison was housed to protect the town.
The grave goods include a sword, an axe, a spear, armor-piercing arrows, a battle knife, two shields, and two horses, one mare and one stallion; thus, the complete equipment of a professional warrior. Furthermore, a full set of gaming pieces indicates knowledge of tactics and strategy, stressing the buried individual's role as a high-ranking officer. As suggested from the material and historical records, the male sex has been associated with the gender of a warrior identity.
Hence, the individual in Bj 581 was considered a male based on the assemblage of grave goods, and the sex was only questioned after a full osteological and contextual analysis that showed that the individual was a woman.
Artist's rendition of BJ-581
The area was excavated in the 1870s, and BJ 581 was documented in 1889, as "one of the most iconic graves from the Viking Age", by archaeologist Hjalmer Stope (1841-1905).
Made of wood the grave chamber measured 113 ft long and 6 ft wide. The body was in a collapsed sitting position, wearing "garments of silk, with silver thread decorations." The bits of cloth left behind link her to the Vikings' East Way which was the trade route to the Silk Road.
For the next 128 years it was believed this grave belonged to a "battle hardened man", and was compared to a figure from Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries.
Viking women were known to be buried with weapons, however prior to this verification the existence of female warriors buried with this importance during the Viking Age was debated among academics. Viking scholars were slow to acknowledge that women were considered warriors.
The results of the analysis found the subject was 30 to 40 years old. "The greater sciatic notch of the hip bone was broad, and a wide preauricular sulcus was present. This, together with the lack of projection of the mental eminence on the mandible, assessed the individual as female. Additionally, the long bones are thin, slender and gracile which provide further indirect support for the assessment."
Her bones did not reflect any trauma. She ate well, so her family of origin was wealthy and possibly royal. She measured 5'7", and traveled throughout the region before settling in Birka when she was a teenager.
In 2017, DNA taken from the Birka warrior was compared with three different population reference datasets, and it showed all the characteristics of ancient and authentic DNA. She is genetically linked to present-day persons living in the British Islands, the North Atlantic Islands, Scandinavia and a little less to the Eastern Baltic European countries.
The manner of burial, with the confirmation of her sex confirms that Viking warriors could be women in what was thought to be a male dominated sphere.

PENNSYLVANIA R. CO. v. MINDS. SAME v. MINDS et al.
63 L.Ed. 1039
PENNSYLVANIA R. CO.
MINDS. SAME v. MINDS et al.
Nos. 293 and 294.
Argued April 23, 1919.
Decided June 9, 1919.
Messrs. Francis I. Gowen, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Frederic D. McKenney, of Washington, D. C., for plaintiff in error.
Mr. James A. Gleason, of Du Bois, Pa., for defendants in error.
Mr. Justice DAY delivered the opinion of the Court.
These cases were tried together in the courts below and may be considered and disposed of in like manner here. They were brought upon reparation orders made by the Interstate Commerce Commission based upon alleged discrimination against the plaintiffs in car distribution. Two periods were in controversy: In No. 293 from July 1, 1902, to October 1, 1904; in No. 294 from October 1, 1904 to June 30, 1907. Verdicts and judgments were recovered in both cases against the company. The judgments were affirmed in the Circuit Court of Appeals. 244 Fed. 53, 156 C. C. A. 481.
During the first period James H. Minds and William J. Matz, trading as Bulah Coal Company, operated the mine alleged to have been subjected to unlawful discrimination. During the second period a partnership, composed of Minds and the widow of Matz, trading under the same name, operated the mine. Two proceedings for reparation were brought before the Interstate Commerce Commission. In the first an order of reparation in the sum of $18,591.48 was awarded, with interest thereon at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum from June 28, 1907. For the second period an award was made in the sum of $31,715.57, with 6 per cent. interest from the same date. The verdicts of the jury were, for the first period, $16,092.92; for the second period $33,618.37.
1. The plaintiff in error complains of the allowance of an amendment correcting a mistake in the declarations transposing the awards. The mistake was first noticed by the court near the close of the trial. This amendment was so obviously just and within the court's discretion that we need only say that we think no error was committed in allowing it.
2. It is insisted that the court erred in allowing the jury to add interest not exceeding 6 per cent. on the damages found; this upon the theory that the recoveries were below the amounts claimed before the Commission which were so large as to be wholly unfair. But the defendants in error were entitled to full compensation for the damages sustained as the result of the wrongful discrimination against them. Section 8 of the Act to Regulate Commerce (Act Feb. 4, 1887, c. 104, 24 Stat. 382 [Comp. St. § 8572]). The Commission allowed interest as part of its award, and the District Court charged the jury that it might do so in making up its verdicts. We see no error in this. For years these claims have been contested, the company never offered any payment of the awards, and unless interest is to be allowed there seems to be no means of making the claimants whole for the wrongs sustained by violations of the statute.
3. It is contended that the court erred in fixin counsel fees, as only those are allowable which compensate for court services. Meeker v. Railroad, 236 U. S. 412, 35 Sup. Ct. 328, 59 L. Ed. 644, Ann. Cas. 1916B, 691. But we are not prepared to say that the court abused its discretion in fixing the fees. There is nothing to warrant our interference with the judgments in this respect.
4. Error is alleged in the charge as to the cost of producing the coal which entered into the computation of damages. Upon this point there was a conflict in the testimony, and an examination of the charge satisfies us that the question was fully and fairly left to the jury.
5. We come to the final and most serious complaint of error in the proceedings. As to the first period there was no contest over the amount of tonnage which the plaintiffs could have shipped, had the cars been fairly distributed during that period. As to the second period, the contention is that there was testimony tending to show that the Commission awarded reparation under a rule which violated its own final determination of the correct rule, in the same manner as was shown in Penna. R. R. Co. v. Jacoby, 242 U. S. 89, 37 Sup. Ct. 49, 61 L. Ed. 165, resulting in the reversal of the judgment in that case. There is no showing that the court gave a wrong rule in this respect in its charge to the jury. But here, as in the Jacoby Case, the company called an expert witness who testified that the tables in a blueprint, put in evidence by the complainants before the Commission, were made upon a basis of car distribution, which, if applied to complainants, would result, as pointed out in the Jacoby Case, in giving to them the wrongful preference which had been awarded to favored companies. The witness testified that a computation showed that the Commission, in making its award, had followed this erroneous table and had used its percentages as the basis of its award. The record discloses that the company asked 18 special points to be given in charge to the jury, in 2 of which it requested charges which were based on this witness' testimony as to the inaccuracy of the tables, asking the court in substance to say to the jury that, if the Commission used such tables in making its computation, the awards were on a wrong basis and should be disregarded.
The Circuit Court of Appeals answered this contention by distinguishing the Jacoby Case—in that the recovery in that case was based wholly upon the award of the Commission and in precisely the same amount, whereas, in this case there was other testimony as to the damages, and the jury awarded a recovery in a sum much less than the amount fixed by the Commission. If these were all the grounds of distinction between this and the Jacoby Case we should be constrained to hold that the failure to give the company's special requests, based on the expert's testimony, was substantial error, requiring a reversal; but at the close of his charge the judge said:
'I think I have gone over the subject-matter of all the different points submitted to me. So far as they are affirmed in the general charge they are affirmed, and so far as not affirmed in the general charge they are disaffirmed, and counsel, if they choose, may call my attention to any specific point which they would like to have specifically answered.'
The court in its charge had not adverted to the effect to be given to the testimony of the defendant's expert. The observations, just referred to, called upon counsel to direct the court's attention to points omitted. The plaintiff's counsel called the court's attention to some things. Counsel for the company said:
'In the first period, we do not dispute the lost tonnage, only the cost. In the second period, we dispute the correctness both of plaintiffs' cost figures and also the tonnage. We ask that the court so charge.'
The court responded:
'Now, gentlemen, I want to make that clear. In the first period, there is no question of the tonnage raised. The defendant concedes the amount of the tonng e, and the difference is all over the cost. So you need not trouble yourselves there with any other question than the cost question. In the second period, the claim is questioned in two respects; the cost, just as it is in the first period, and the tonnage is also questioned. So, of course, you cannot determine the amount of damage until you have settled both of those questions.
'I understand that the parties have agreed that their respective statements of their positions may be sent out in order to save the jury the labor of making calculations. Is that correct?'
Counsel for the plaintiff and for the company each answered:
'Yes, sir.'
'The Court: So, gentlemen, you will have the benefit of the figuring of the parties on each side, which will present their respective views. You will take the case and dispose of it. * * *
'Counsel for the defendant excepted to the refusal of the trial judge to charge as requested by them in such points as were not affirmed. (Exception noted for defendant by direction of the court.)'
We have, then, this situation: After a charge dealing with the general questions in the case, with numerous special requests to charge 'points' as they are called, the presiding judge expressed the view that he thought he had gone over the subjects embraced in the requests submitted. That he had omitted some is not surprising, for the court was dealing with an exceedingly difficult and complicated situation of car distribution, concerning which the Interstate Commerce Commission, the body primarily intrusted with the determination of such matters, had long deliberated before announcing the rule upon which it finally acted and made its award in the series of cases of which those now before us are a part. Upon the invitation of the trial judge the company's counsel made the request which we have quoted, and the judge at once complied with it, and charged, as counsel desired, upon that particular subject, adding that he understood that the parties had agreed that the respective statements of their positions might go to the jury to save it the labor of making calculations. In this way the parties got before the jury the calculations showing their respective claims. This may have been and probably was the reason for the failure of counsel to call attention to the omission to answer the particular points requested concerning the effect to be given to the testimony of the defendant's witness, if credited by the jury. Apparently counsel were satisfied when the jury had before it the table showing the basis of their claims in the case. But, whatever the reason, the court, after a careful and painstaking charge, thinking he had answered the 'points' of both sides, called upon counsel to suggest omissions as to particular points; then followed the proceedings already recited. We think counsel should have directed attention to the omission which it is evident was inadvertent. The case, in this aspect, is entirely unlike the Jacoby Case, where a specific request was made and refused, and a recovery had upon an award of the Commission which the testimony tended to show was made upon a wrong basis.
This court has repeatedly held that objections to the charge of a trial judge must be specifically made in order that he may be given an opportunity to correct errors and omissions himself before the same are made the basis of error proceedings; this is the only course fair to the court and the parties. McDermott v. Severe, 202 U. S. 600, 610, 26 Sup. Ct. 709, 50 L. Ed. 1162; Norfolk & Western Ry. Co. v. Earnest, 229 U. S. 114, 120, 33 Sup. Ct. 654, 57 L. Ed. 1096, Ann. Cas. 1914C, 172; United States v. Fidelity Co., 236 U. S. 512, 529, 35 Sup. Ct. 298, 59 L. Ed. 696; Jacobs v. Southern Ry., 241 U. S. 229, 236, 36 Sup. Ct. 588, 60 L. Ed. 970; Guerini Stone Co. v. Carlin Co., 248 U. S. 334, 338, 39 Sup. Ct. 102, 63 L. Ed. 275. Parties may not rest content with the procedure of a trial, saving general exceptions to be made the basis of errorp roceedings, when they might have had all they were entitled to by the action of the trial court had its attention been seasonably called to the matter.
The trial court and the Court of Appeals have refused to disturb the amounts awarded by the jury as compensation for the clear violation of the Interstate Commerce Act, which these records disclose, and which was very much less than the sums awarded by the Commission when the allowance of interest is considered which under the court's instructions entered into the verdicts. We think the only serious ground upon which reversal may be asked is found in the failure to give the points, to which we have referred, and as to them, we are of the opinion that such failure was waived by the course of proceeding to which attention has been directed.

Breyer's Approach to the Constitution
By Jonathan H. Adler on September 20, 2010 9:56 pm in Supreme Court
Yesterday's Washington Post has an interesting profile of Justice Stephen Breyer, keyed to the release of his new book, Making Our Democracy Work.
"The court should reject approaches to interpreting the Constitution that consider the document's scope and application as fixed at the moment of framing," Breyer writes. "Rather, the court should regard the Constitution as containing unwavering values that must be applied flexibly to ever-changing circumstances."
Judges should go about this, Breyer says, using "traditional legal tools, such as text, history, tradition, precedent, and purposes and related consequences, to help find proper legal answers. But courts should emphasize certain of these tools, particularly purposes and consequences. Doing so will make the law work better for those whom it affects."
Breyer, 72, said in an interview that he understands how that opens him to criticism of subjectivity, and that his approach lacks the simple message of originalism.
"I've said many times: I can understand why you'd want . . . a simple, clear theory, as if you had a historical computer and could in fact decide on the basis of history the answer to these questions," Breyer said. "But history is too uncertain."

Bethlehem woman pleads guilty to slaying estranged boyfriend
By Tom Shortell
Ebony A. Jones (Contributed Photo, THE MORNING CALL)
A distraught Bethlehem woman pleaded guilty Friday to killing her estranged boyfriend, apologizing for the unintentional death of her first love.
Ebony Jones agreed to a six- to 15-year prison sentence in Northampton County Court for the voluntary manslaughter of Ismael Bonets on Nov. 24 at her home in the Marvine-Pembroke housing development in Bethlehem.
The two had a history of domestic abuse in New York, with Bonets on record as the aggressor nine times and Jones four times, according to court documents. Jones has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder from her relationships with Bonets and other men.
Prosecutors said their 14th incident began while Bonets, 37, was spending the night at Jones' home so they could attend a parent-teacher conference the next day for their 9-year-old daughter. They began arguing and Jones threatened to call the police to have him kicked out of the home, Assistant District Attorney Kelly Lewis Fallenstein said.
Instead, Bonets lunged at Jones, who ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, Lewis Fallenstein said. When he charged at her, she threw it at him and ran out of the house. It wasn't until he called out her name that Jones realized he was seriously hurt, Lewis Fallenstein said.
"I will be forever haunted by that day," Jones said. "As much as I didn't mean for that to happen, it did."
Police said Jones immediately called 911 and repeatedly admitted to throwing the knife at him. She followed instructions over the phone to try and staunch the bleeding, but Bonets died hours later following surgery.
The couple's 9-year-old and Jones' two other children were home at the time of the incident, police said.
Lewis-Fallenstein said the 911 recording proved Jones did not maliciously attack Bonets, a requirement for homicide charges. However, she said Jones was not at risk of physical harm, eliminating any claim of self-defense.
Chief Public Defender Robert Eyer declined comment after the hearing.
The legalities of the case did little to ease the pain of Geraldine Walker, Bonets' mother. In court, she remembered her son as a dedicated father whose laugh could light up a room. She said she plays the voice-mail message from his cellphone to hear his voice, and she talks to his picture. Her son had a limitless future that was unfairly cut short, she said.
"He is too young not to be here anymore," she said. "Everything is over. Everything is shot to hell. Everything is done."
Olivia Hill, a childhood friend of Bonets, recounted walking into a funeral home in December to say goodbye to him. She could not accept that a man who was beloved by so many people had been taken away from them.
"It's not right. It's not fair. It should have not happened," Hill said, calling the sentence a "slap in the face."
Jones, 32, said she had no words to express the regret she felt over Bonets' death, but said she was feeling the same pain Walker and Hill were experiencing.
"I am hurt, too. I loved him. He was my first real everything. This is not going to go away for me either. I am so sorry. I am so sorry, Ms. Geraldine," Jones cried.
"Don't!" Walker choked out between sobs.
Judge Anthony Beltrami accepted the plea deal, saying it was the best-case scenario that could have emerged from a trial.
"My heart goes out to all of you. None of this should have happened," he said.

Home Dehradun Gen Rawat added to the glory of IMA: Kovind
Gen Rawat added to the glory of IMA: Kovind
President Ramnath Kovind reviews the Passing out Parade at the Indian Military Academy
DEHRADUN, 11 Dec: Gen. Bipin Rawat was an extraordinary military leader, and his death creates a void that cannot be filled, said the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind. He was speaking on the occasion of review of the Passing Out Parade of the Indian Military Academy today. The President said that we gathered here today when the nation is yet to come out of the shock of the untimely demise of Gen. Rawat, the Chief of Defence Staff. Uttarakhand was his home and he was trained at the Indian Military Academy. At the IMA, he was awarded the Sword of Honour for his exceptional skills.
But for the tragedy, he would have been among us here today, looking at the passing-out parade with delight and pride for the cadets. The President said that Gen. Rawat added to the glory of the IMA, which is an institution with an inspiring tradition.
Before him, Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and many other extraordinary warriors and strategists began their journey here as young cadets and potential leaders. Some of them laid down their lives for the safety and honour of our nation.
He expressed confidence that the gentlemen cadets, who would shortly embark on their journey of a life characterised by valour and wisdom, would carry forward the rich legacy of this academy. Congratulating the cadets on the successful completion of their training at the IMA, the President said that their service and dedication as soldiers and leaders of men shall add to the strength of a peaceful, independent and democratic India. He urged that, on this occasion, we should recall the iconic status acquired by one of the many illustrious alumni of the academy, General Bipin Rawat, who by dint of his hard work emerged as the role model of soldierly conduct for the future generation. The President expressed confidence that our flag shall always fly high because brave men like gentlemen cadets present here would preserve and protect its honour. Kovind said that the challenges that our great nation faces today are defined by a complex security environment, at the regional and global level. The cadets must, therefore, keep in mind that physical and mental toughness alone would not equip them to tackle modern-day threats to the country. As military leaders, they would have to develop a strategic mindset, cultivate an adaptive temperament and acquire the mental resilience essential to hone the skills required for military leadership. They must be prepared to deal with the unexpected challenges that the profession of arms shall present before them at various junctures of their service. The President was happy to see the gentlemen cadets from friendly foreign countries of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Turkmenistan and Vietnam at the parade. He said that we cherish the special bond between our nations, and it is a matter of great pride for India to have such fine officers and gentlemen from friendly foreign countries graduating today. He expressed confidence that they would preserve the unique bond of friendship forged with their colleagues and instructors during their training at IMA.

Over the weekend, I brought the family on a road trip out of town to check out a piece of land we were planning to develop. I was able to find the place on Google Maps, and I've been checking out possible routes. I planned to use the mobile Google Maps application with my Smartphone's GPS, since I've already tried it within the city and it worked like a charm.
I learned that traveling outside of Manila, Google Maps worked like a charm, too. When I first got to know Google Maps about four or five years back, it only had some satellite imagery of the Metro areas. Now it has street data, establishments, and even user-inputted information.
If your phone is GPS-enabled, Google Maps will track your direction and movement, as long as you have GPS satellites within line of sight.
What's great is that some network providers (like Smart) have unlimited 3G plans even on prepaid. So traveling all day shouldn't be a problem. You would just need to be sure you have a decent signal (both GPS and 3G), and enough battery charge (or that you can plug in your mobile phone with a car charger).
We only missed one turn, because I was having connection problems at that time. We also encountered a one-way street. If only Google Maps had traffic information, life would've been easier. But still, we were able to navigate through the place without having to ask for directions. One of my kids had fun watching the blue blip travel through the lines representing the roads, and approach the star (since I previously starred the exact point we were supposed to visit). The application even knows the direction you're traveling toward, since the blip is actually an arrow!
Perhaps if Google were to add more layers of information, particularly traffic and directions, Google Maps would be a viable alternative to those expensive navigation systems offered by auto dealerships.
Previous PostHow To Check Vehicle Registration Through SMSNext PostCars depreciate!
May I ask what Smartphone you were using? I've been trying to get the directions function to work on my GPS-enabled Blackberry Bold (Smart). No matter what destination address I tried it just kept saying "no route found". It seems like the rest of Google map's functions work fine ("My Location, Search, etc), but missing out on directions is a bit of a disappointment.
Hi Kenneth. Driving directions don't work locally, I'm afraid. You can try with the commercial service that comes with the built-in GPS/map equipment that you can buy from auto dealers. But with Google Maps, you will have to manually plan your route.
I use a SonyEricsson Xperia, btw. I also have maps on My S60v3 Nokia, but it doesn't have GPS.
really smart work by google map, i am waiting to get this in my google phone, i know that will makes all my journey easy as it feel in on moving on my place.
Why not use GARMIN XT on your Symbian Phone? No data charges, Free turn by turn navigation with voice prompt. You just search the location where you want to go then Garmin will take you there with ease for free. Google earth is classic for GPS navigation.
There is already Google Map Navigator, it is free. But whatever development Google brings, it will not be of use to us here in the Philippines, until our traffic details are registered somewhere in the virtual world. It is only through this that such technology can be used locally.
Nice post! Thank you for sharing excellent informations. Your web-site is so cool. I'm impressed by the details that you have on this site. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for more articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found simply the info I already searched all over the place and simply could not come across. What an ideal website.
Try sygic. works like a charm.
google maps works like magic for me except for the turn by turn feature that is not allowed here in the philippines. if that service would be available here, that is a huge + for google here in the philippines. otherwise, it is an excellent app!


This month the Hellenic Air Force 349 Mira, flying the F-5A, based at Larissa AB, rotated with the Italian Air Force 10 Gruppo (9 Stormo) based at Grazzanise AB, flying the F-104S/ASA. It is unknown if it was a 1 or 2 way exchange but the F-5s were seen in Italy for sure. It was the last exchange for 349 Mira which was disbanded officially on 5 September 1997.
This month the Royal Air Force 12 Squadron, equipped with the Tornado GR.1B and based at Lossiemouth, exchanged with the Italian Air Force 18 Gruppo (37 Stormo) based at Trapani-Birgi AB, flying the F-104S/ASA. It is unknown if it was a 1 or 2 way exchange but at least Starfighters were seen in Lossiemouth being MM6713/37-01, MM6825/37-10, MM6925/37-05 and MM6943/37-15 using call-signs "I 6713" and "I 6825". They all flew to and from Lossiemouth via Bruggen where they made a fuel-stop. On the way to Lossiemouth the aircraft landed at Bruggen on the 9th with 37-10 and 37-15 departing the next day and 37-01 and 37-05 the day after.

Koya Leadership Partners Lands New CEO for Easterseals
Non-profit focused recruiters have tapped former YMCA executive to lead the country's largest provider of services for people with disabilities, including veterans and their families. Alison Ranney sits down with Hunt Scanlon Media to discuss the search.
December 4, 2017 – Following a national search, Easterseals has selected Angela F. Williams as its new president and CEO. The former YMCA executive is expected to lead the organization into its centennial year in 2019. Non-profit recruiting specialists Koya Leadership Partners conducted the search. Anne McCarthy, principal – executive search, and Alison Ranney, managing director who heads Koya's Chicago office, co-led the assignment.
Easterseals is the country's leading non-profit provider of services for people with disabilities, including veterans and their families. Ms. Williams will be the 10th person to lead the organization in the U.S. She is also the first African-American to hold the job, and the first female in more than 40 years.
"Angela's strong record of accomplishment as a leader and senior executive makes her the right person to lead Easterseals as we prepare to mark 100 years of responding to the needs of children and adults with disabilities throughout America," said Joe Kern, chair of the Easterseals national board of directors. "Her capacity to lead complex organizations will serve us well as we advance a strategic vision for our future in areas of priority including advocacy, network advancement, brand management and resource development in partnership with our national network of 72 affiliates which collectively serves 1.5 million people annually."
Experienced Non-Profit Leader
Ms. Williams has 30 years of leadership experience in the non-profit and corporate sectors, most recently serving as executive vice president, general counsel and chief administration officer at YMCA of the USA, the national resource office for the Y, where she was instrumental in shaping strategy and developing resources to help 2,700 YMCAs across the country enhance outcomes for youth and families in 10,000 communities.
Earlier, Ms. Williams was the interfaith liaison for the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, a non-profit organization formed to provide critically needed donations to assist the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. She was responsible for understanding the impact of Katrina on the faith community and overseeing the processing of $25 million in grants to houses of worship. Ms. Williams began her professional career as an officer in the United States Air Force, serving in the Judge Advocate General's Corps.
Non-Profit Specialists
Boston-based Koya Leadership Partners is a national executive search and human capital consulting firm that works exclusively with non-profits and social enterprises. This year, the firm was recognized again as one of the top 50 search firms in the Americas by Hunt Scanlon Media.
Koya has developed a national reputation for identifying executive directors and CEOs across the non-profit sector, including those for Hudson Webber Foundation, the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, American Red Cross of Chicago & Northern Illinois, Glazer Children's Museum, and Tourette Association of America, among many others.
Koya is currently leading searches for numerous clients in the arts and culture field, including Harvard Art Museums, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Nelson-Atkins Museum, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
Veteran Recruiters
Koya's Ms. McCarthy specializes in recruiting senior executives to non-profit organizations, cultural institutions and foundations across the country. She previously worked for another retained executive search firm and specialized in assignments for clients in the insurance and industrial manufacturing industries.
Ms. Ranney partners with a broad range of clients including foundations, cultural institutions, membership organizations, other non-profits, colleges and universities. She has successfully led searches at the CEO, president, executive director, dean, COO, CFO and VP levels as well as board members.
Ms. Ranney's clients include the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Obama Foundation, the Art Institute of Chicago, the United Way and the American Red Cross. She also has deep expertise in higher education having led searches for the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, Harvard University, Stanford University, Northwestern University and the University of Pennsylvania, among others.
A Closer Look at the Search
Ms. Ranney recently sat down with Hunt Scanlon Media to take us inside the search.
Alison, explain the nuances of running this national organization with 72 affiliates.
The Easterseals national office serves to support the work of its 72 affiliates and acts as the national face of the organization. Each of the 72 affiliates has its own CEO and provides a variety of different services. This poses a unique set of challenges for the leader of the national organization. The top priorities of Easterseals national are to support advocacy, branding/marketing, corporate partnerships, fundraising, network collaboration, and technology on behalf of its affiliates and the organization as a whole. The ability to envision, clearly define and project a compelling value proposition of Easterseals national to its affiliates, board, staff and other key stakeholders is a key component of the CEO's role.
What type of leader was Easterseals looking for?
Prior to the search, the national board had engaged management consulting firm Bridgespan Group around the goals and vision for the network and the value of the national organization. From that process, the high-level aspirations for the network were determined. Stakeholders agreed that Easterseals would need to become a more high-functioning and high-impact network. It was determined that envisioning, defining and projecting Easterseals national's value proposition to its affiliates, board, staff and other key stakeholders was a top priority for the next president and CEO. Equally important was the ability to establish trust between the affiliates and the national office.
Why Angela?
Our ideal profile was a confident leader with a track record of success transforming complex institutions with similar operating models. Angela has a powerful, confident and inspirational leadership style and presence that will enable her to step into the CEO role and quickly galvanize staff, board and affiliates around the future of Easterseals. Her diverse range of experience in the private, government and non-profit sectors has equipped her with the skills to lead the transformation of Easterseals national. Importantly, Angela embodies the values of the organization.
"The committee selected seven candidates to interview in the first round and advanced three to second rounds. After additional meetings, deep referencing and assessments, the committee decided between the finalists."
Can you take us through the search process? When did the search start, where did you look for candidates, how many were presented, etc.?
Koya led a national search with a national search committee comprised of eight board members and two affiliate CEOs. We began constituent conversations in late summer and officially launched into the market just before Labor Day. The candidate pool developed over six weeks. The committee selected seven candidates to interview in the first round of interviews and advanced three to second rounds. After additional meetings, deep referencing and assessments, the committee decided between the finalists. We completed the search before Thanksgiving and announced shortly afterwards. As always with a Koya search, our goal was to craft a top-tier pool of candidates for the committee to consider. We considered leaders of disability organizations around the country. We looked at senior leadership in complex social service organizations with similar operating models to Easterseals, such as the YMCA or the United Way. We also identified candidates from the private sector who could bring a unique and different perspective to the role. All candidates had a personal connection to the Easterseals mission.
Explain how the firm used the Hogan assessments to analyze the finalists?
We partnered with a trained assessment professional, Joanna Ahearn, to conduct Hogan assessments on two finalists. Joanna analyzed the results and provided succinct materials to effectively convey those results to the search committee. It was an extremely important part of our process and helped the committee feel confident that both finalists could do the job well.
What are some of Angela's biggest tasks ahead?
Envisioning, defining and projecting Easterseals national's value proposition to its affiliates, board, staff and other key stakeholders will be a top priority for Angela in her new CEO role. Equally important will be the ability to quickly establish trust between the affiliates and the national office. She will also facilitate critical work to determine the fundraising processes to align the needs of the affiliates with those of the national organization.

Normally, the development of new vaccines and their introduction takes years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has inspired researchers to collaborate in completely new ways to develop safe and efficient vaccines as soon as possible to beat the virus.
The scientific community both in the academia and the pharmaceutical companies has shared information on a global scale, and cooperation processes have been accelerated. The investments in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine have been enormous. The results of previous research projects have been analysed and combined.
The introduction of the vaccines has also been accelerated by the fact that the authorities have put a lot of resources in the handling of research data. The data has also been examined in a novel, so-called rolling review process. This means that the vaccine developer companies have been able to provide the authorities with research data for review as soon as it is obtained. Normally, the authorities start to review the data only when all information is complete.
The European Commission has also examined the applications for vaccine marketing authorisations much more rapidly than usual.

Finally, the mixtape I have been waiting for! Compton native Kendrick Lamar dropped his album titled 'Section 80' yesterday and after picking it up I gotta say this is dope! Here are my 2 fav songs from the mixtape so far. Support good hiphop!
I like this song. Laws is dope.
Gank Song x How to make a hit record in 1 minute!
Very cool video showing how a song can literally blow up overnight and skyrocket you to fame. Even cooler is the fact that the beat was made in only a few minutes with not much to it. Check it.
"Alors on Danse" was produced in Reason along with all of Stromae's music. The now iconic bass line? That's the NN19. The drum beat you've probably bopped to is coming from the Redrum. The NN-XT provides the synth hook that has audiences numbering into the tens of thousands singing out. And in this special interview, Stromae shows us how the track is constructed inside Reason.
Here is an interview done by SB.TV with Future the Prince aka Drake's tour DJ. He talks about life as a DJ, living in Toronto as well as coming up with Drizzy and playing the tracks that people want to hear.

By Acelga Quintett. By Leos Janacek (1854-1928), Pavel Haas (1889-1944), Alexander Von zemlinsky (1871-1942), and Josef Bohuslav Foerster. Classical. CD. Genuin #GEN 17460. Published by Genuin (NX.GEN-17460).
Item Number: NX.GEN-17460
With the exotic prelude by Pavel Haas, the door opens upon a strange and unfamiliar world of sound as the Acelga Quintet leads us on an exciting musical journey in the ensemble's new Genuin release. The five prizewinning musicians bring together works that are connected to Bohemia in the broadest sense: ranging from the late Romantic sonorities of Josef Bohuslav Foerster to Alexander Zemlinsky's featherlight Rondo, Leos Janacek's tale of youth, and the humorous and offbeat musical mini-dramas by the above-mentioned Pavel Haas. The result is wind playing and chamber music at the very highest level: with their instrumental virtuosity and ensemble synergy, a truly superlative production!

Today William wanted to mail a postcard to his friend. After I had printed out the address, William made a few half-hearted marks on the paper then asked me to put on a movie. I wasn't about to waste a stamp on his short attention span so I encouraged him to draw some more. He traced his hotwheels car. "Can we watch the movie now?"
In hindsight, I should have just put on his choice of DVD, ignoring the sunshine outside and hoping I wouldn't lose his creation before the next time I happened by a mailbox. Instead I insisted we mail the card, immediately. I offered him the choice of riding his bicycle, or sitting in the stroller hitched to my bicycle. "I want to ride my bicycle," Jadzia immediately chimed in and William agreed. The nearest mailbox that I know of is about a kilometre away.
The way there is uphill. My son insists on getting off his bike and pushing it up every slight incline. Every time William gets off his bike, Jadzia gets off her tricycle and bolts. She gleefully sprints down the sidewalk at speeds greater than any Mom lugging a fully-loaded diaper bag and a tricycle can achieve. Other legitimate reasons for dismounting: picking dandelions, watching ants. William also stops dead at each slightly elevated crack in the sidewalk and groans until I help him over it.
We stop at the library after we mail the postcard. This is William's idea. I have my netbook with me and try to write, but instead end up reading the most inane boardbooks imaginable for slightly longer than I can stand. After we pick out our books I give each kid an apple, more to lighten my load than because they are hungry. As we cross the library parking lot, the plastic bag holding my books breaks.
William roars (yes, roars) at each bird we pass, scaring them onto the rooftops. Jadzia joins in by belting out screams that are ear-piercing, blood-curdling and whatever other cliche you can think of to describe an unbearably high-pitched squeal.
William doesn't want to go to fast on the downhill so he compensates by braking every two feet. Jadzia is tired and drags her feet along the ground as I push her tricycle. I tell her she will wreck her shoes and hurt her feet if she continues. She continues. I threaten to take her shoes. She continues. I take her shoes. She doesn't care. She steers the trike in a zigzag pattern on the sidewalk. I tilt the tricycle onto its back wheels so she can no longer steer. She attempts to get off the trike. I carry her (along with the diaper bag, netbook, Jadzia's sandals and six library books in a broken grocery bag).

LOL! Leyla is roaring at the birds too. I set up a bird feeder so we could peacefully watch birds in our yard not scare the bejesus out of them.
And there's no exercise to be had for the person following small children on bicycles. Every rock, worm, or dandelion stops all momentum.

To drag & drop code in your piston, you can go into Edit mode, and then click up top to turn on that feature.
Hold down Ctrl while dragging to make a copy.
NOTE: If you want to copy the block into a DIFFERENT piston, you can select the block as mentioned above, and then right click to copy that selected text to your webCoRE clipboard. This will be available when you add new statements in other pistons.
I often hear people talk about "Virtual Switches" and "Simulated Switches" interchangeably, but it's important to note that they use different Device Handlers, so they are definitely not the same. Personally, I will only recommend using "Simulated Switches", since I have seen a lot of issues involving virtual switches.
Side Note: Sometimes I have to use an "Incognito" or "Private Browsing Window" to be able to save the new device.
Once the device is added, ST will see it within a few seconds, but you will also have to add the device to webCoRE.
Command prompt / batch file / macro tool etc.
... and the piston in your main house would trigger a moment later.
Generally speaking, the piston that is getting triggered by the external call should have no triggers (lightning bolts).
One of the benefits of having no triggers is that this piston can be triggered from multiple locations and different events.

As President Donald Trump bashed the Affordable Care Act and the media in Nashville on Wednesday night, Tennesseans 150 miles into the hills and farmland to the west of the rally watched the president's remarks over their TV antennas.
In Martin, Tennessee, in the state's northwest corner, WLJT provides three television stations for free to 285,000 people across 16 counties, according to Monica Reese, the station's general manager. Commercial TV and radio stations don't consistently reach that rural, impoverished stretch near the Kentucky and Missouri borders, so WLJT constitutes the only broadcast outlet for people who cannot pay a cable bill.
"We bring them the unbiased news they're looking for, trusted by viewers in west Tennessee," Reese said. "This is how a lot of our viewers will receive their news."
If the president has his way, WLJT's signal could go dark — along with a host of other rural public broadcasters that serve populations that voted in droves for Donald Trump.
Trump's first budget blueprint features double-digit cuts to most federal departments and the elimination of funds to dozens of agencies, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The agency that brings viewers PBS News Hour, Sesame Street and local programming across the country would see all its federal support disappear under Trump's budget.
The recipient of $445 million in federal funds in 2016, CPB gives 70% of its money directly to local radio and television stations. In 2013, these grants constituted 13% of an average public TV station's revenue. But for rural stations, that support can be much more essential.
WLJT, West Virginia Public Broadcasting, WVUT in Vincennes, Indiana, and hundreds of other public media stations provide people with free news, entertainment and information programming in conservative, rural America.
Some viewers are factory workers and other listeners are coal miners — a demographic Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney believes should not pay for public media.
"We can ask them to pay for defense, and we will, but we can't ask them to continue to pay for the Corporation of Public Broadcasting," Mulvaney said in a Thursday morning interview.
Yet nearly three-quarters of Americans oppose cutting federal funding for public television.
West Virginia Public Broadcasting is already planning a 20% cut — laying off 15 staff members — after West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said, in the interest of budget cuts, the state had little choice but to eliminate its support for public media. A loss of more than $200,000 in federal funding to the station could force further layoffs. These are but a fraction of the more than 19,500 people working in public media nationwide who would potentially face layoffs if CPB funding was cut.
In southwest Indiana, Nichole Carie has been general manager of WVUT since 2009. The radio and television station is housed on the campus of Vincennes University, in a county where over 71% of voters supported Trump. Carie and her 16 staff members work with university students to produce news coverage about an area of hundreds of square miles where access to commercial television or a major newspaper can be tough to find.
"We provide comprehensive news coverage on stories that won't receive air time in the market north or south of us," Carie said, adding it would "drastically affect" her station in a town of 18,000 people. Without federal support, about a fifth of WVUT's revenue would evaporate.
A 2012 report commissioned by CPB said a total loss of federal funding "would severely diminish, if not destroy, public broadcasting service in the United States." Fifty-four public television stations and 76 public radio stations would be in immediate danger of closing. Seventy-eight of those stations serve predominantly rural communities.
CPB echoed that finding in a statement on Thursday. Public broadcasting "is especially critical for those living in small towns and in rural and underserved areas," said Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of CPB.
Eric Hyyppa knows well the struggle of servicing a large area with few dollars. As the director and general manager of Montana PBS, Hyyppa oversees 32 employees who reach 80% of the state over the airwaves. A fifth of the budget for the only statewide television program comes from CPB, Hyyppa said — more than a million dollars.
"Federal money has helped us build this service in a state that can't really support it," Hyyppa said.
Montana PBS produces documentaries and state government news that commercial televisions ignores. Hyyppa added that without federal funding, it would be difficult for any public media to survive — large or small. CPB dollars support the production of programs aired by public radio and TV across the country, creating a domino effect if those funds are cut. "It's a big house of cards," he said.
Just south of the Kentucky border, in a county where 9,008 of the 12,062 voters supported Trump, WLJT reaches many households that send their children to Title I schools, a term that denotes the use of federal funds to support school districts that serve a high percentage of low-income families.
The educational programming broadcast by WLJT is the only option for younger Tennesseans whose parents cannot pay a cable or satellite bill, Reese said. WLJT produces 100 hours of local programming annually with two production staff.
"These children that are going to be at home because the parents are out trying to work or mom and dad can't make the cable payment, we're the only way that they receive this educational piece," Reese said.

Q: Trouble with remote connection to mysql on Linux machine I have mysql server running on a linux (Ubuntu 16.04) machine on my home network, and I am trying to connect to it from a Windows 10 machine on the same network.  It's not working.  I can successfully ping the linux machine from the windows machine, but when I try to telnet to port 3306 from the Windows machine, it can't open the connection.  I disabled the firewall on the Windows machine, and same result.
This leads me to believe the problem is on the linux machine.  But ufw is not enabled and there is no bind to localhost in /etc/mysql/my.cnf (in fact there is nothing in there except two includedir statements).  Anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot?

# InnoDB is enabled by default with a 10MB datafile in /var/lib/mysql/.
# Read the manual for more InnoDB related options. There are many!

A: Use the lsof command to confirm that MySQL is listening the desired address and port. One quick command is:
# lsof -nP -i :3306

You should see a line similar to:
mysqld  3225 mysql   11u  IPv4  20260      0t0  TCP *:3306 (LISTEN)

The '*:3306' in the above output indicates that MySQL is bound to all the interfaces on port 3306.
An alternative after getting the PID of the MySQL process is:
# lsof -nP -p 3225 | grep LISTEN
mysqld  3225 mysql   11u  IPv4      20260      0t0    TCP *:3306 (LISTEN)

Including the contents of your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and any configuration files in the included directories (with username/password obfuscated) would have been helpful.
