The Hunger Games heads back to the Dark Ages when a group of five young Saxons is captured by a clan of fearsome Viking warriors and used as prey in a ritualistic manhunt. High on a potion that turns them "berserk" the brutal hunters are soon on the scent of the terrified youngsters in a desperate battle for survival from the ritualistic manhunt. Written and directed by Welsh film-maker Antony Smith.


When presenting a gift to a hostess, teachers, friends or family, I love creating a charming box full of delicious goodies, and of course a bouquet of flowers!! There's something special about a gift box that shows a lot of love and thoughtfulness was put into it! For this box, I went with a food and lemon theme since we have the most beautiful lemons growing in the back! I sought out all products that were lemony and refreshing, and added a few lemons from home too. To find products, I often head to food boutiques, Williams-Sonoma or online. If you're in LA, Joan's on Third has great items for a DIY food gift box! So here are 3 of my favorite tips for creating the perfect gift box!
1. Pick a theme! This helps when deciding which products should go in the box, and you can choose a theme the gift receiver will love. Some of my favorite themes are chocolate, olive oil, wine, lavender, rosemary, cucumber and for the holiday, gingerbread or cinnamon are also be great. There are SO many fun themes!!!
2. Have a variety of items in the box… something savory, something sweet, a drink, something fresh and local, or picked from home.
3. Add a small bouquet of fresh flowers to the corner. Either pick these from home (depending on the time of year!), or buy some from the grocery store and rearrange them in a small vase.

What great ideas…and I LOVE yellow!!
I love giving gift baskets for holidays! They are just so much more personal since you can tailor it to the recipient. I've found a few great new gift basket companies as well, for those of us that just don't always have the time to put them together ourselves 🙂 This is a great tutorial though!
That's true that a theme when you're putting together a gift box or basket can make the items really mesh well together. I like the idea of having a cinnamon theme for the holidays. It's not only delicious, it's festive! I'll have to give this a try. After all, it's getting to that time of year where I have to come up with quite a few gifts.


Veronica & The Red Wine Serenaders new CD!
Last June 23rd, came the new anticipated album from Veronica & The Red Wine Serenaders, winners of the 3rd European Blues Challenge in 2013, titled "The Mexican Dress". This is the fifth studio album by the italian combo that, over the years, has become an established reality in the European music scene as part of the blues, ragtime, folk and country blues panorama. "The Mexican Dress" was recorded partly in the United States at Pacific Studios in Tacoma, Seattle by Mark Simmons, and partly in Italy at Suonovivo, by Dario Raveli, also responsible for the the final mixing. The result is an amazing and extremely varied job. In the track list for the first time there are some original compositions written by Max De Bernardi and Veronica Sbergia with the help of Denny Hall, leader of the American band The Nite Café, as well as a handful of traditional pieces reproposed with taste and originality, for a total of fourteen tracks plus a "lost track".


Go Bible is a free Bible viewer application for Java Mobile Phones ( Java ME MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0 ). It was developed by Jolon Faichney in Surf City , Gold Coast, Queensland , Australia , with help from several others . Go Bible is installed like Any Other midlet by copying the .jar and jad file to the cell phone by USB or Bluetooth . The English KJV Bible 1.1 can also be installed using WAP download.
Go Bible is not to be confused with the similarly named The Original GoBible® , a suite of personal electronic bible players from GoBible, LLC.
A screenshot of Mizo Go Bible .
These lists are likely to grow as more people become involved with the developer application .
Many of the Go Bible translations still use English for the Bible book names , and for the user interface , though That is now starting to change as more developers Become familiar with the features of the application developer.
Go Bible uses the Unicode installed by the mobile phone manufacturer. Some translations can not be done properly on all phones. Also, there are some Sony Ericsson phones with regard to displaying Arabic script and other right-to-left languages. Rendering such languages properly depends on the correct implementation of the bidirectional algorithm and glyph shaping.
It is possible to divide the Bible into several smaller collections so that the JAR files can be installed in mobile phones with limited memory. For some models, splitting into Old Testament and New Testament is sufficient. For older models, splitting into smaller files than 1MB, 512KB, 256KB or 128KB may be necessary. Go Bible 1.0 is compatible with 64KB JAR file limit.
Go Bible applications are not digitally signed. Some applications will not install unsigned applications. In many such cases, it is usually possible to find a phone to change to accept unsigned applications.
The author also provided a developer kit called Go Bible Creator . This enables further translations and language versions to be generated by users. Go Bible Creator takes as data input Bible files in the Open Source Information ( OSIS ) or Theological Markup Language ( ThML ). From version 2.3.2, the ability to process Unified Standard Format Markers  ( USFM ) has been added.
Book Name Mapping – this facilitated book to be mapped to English book names.
Translated user interface – this requires the translation of words or short sentences from the English default UI.
Another user has gone to the Bible Box.net account,  from which many more Go Bible collections may be downloaded.
Go Bible Creator is supported by the SIL Pathway  project for publishing scripture.
One member of the Theologische Initiative Freiburg  has written software to convert Zefania XML Bible modules into the ThML format for use with Go Bible Creator. Though the description is "Converts to Zefania XML bible modul to a SWORD -modul", the download includes a tool for Go Bible. The host language is German .
Go Bible also works in the JVM called Esmertec Jbed, ( J2ME Programming / Esmertec Jbed ) which can be installed on various mobile phone platforms.
OliveTree Bible Software  has a number of Bible Reader applications for various mobile phones and PDA platforms.
jBible  is a website for mobile phones. Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian Bibles are available.
Sky Bible  is an application for mobile phones and hand held devices. Sky Bible is intended for Symbian phones.
YouVersion  Bible application for Java phones.
GoBible LLC creates a suite of stand-alone personal audio players for purchase.

In the article about create a custom digital PDF signature we explained how to create custom signature handlers. In this article we are going to explain how to verify them using PDFKit.NET.
If you sign a document with a custom signature, following the code in the article that explains how to create a custom digital signature, and open it in Adobe reader, you will see the following message when you click on the signature.
This is to be expected, because Adobe does not know about our custom signature. If you want it to be able to deal with this, you will need to write your own plug-in for Adobe Reader.
This article is not about creating such an Adobe Reader plug-in, but about verifying a custom signature programmatically with PDFKit.NET. As we have seen in the previously mentioned article PDFKit.NET allows you to a define custom signature handler. In this handler you can override the Sign method to provide your own signature, and you can override the Verify method to verify it. It did not however show you how the Verify code will get triggered in PDFKit.NET. This article will show you this.
Please note that the code below has been based on the customSignVerifyAndUpdates sample that is included in the PDFKit.NET distribution.
Usually, verification of "standard" signature fields is very simple in PDFKit.NET. You can call SignatureField.IsSigned to determine whether a signature field has been signed, and a call to SignatureField.Verify() will tell you whether the signature is valid.
// "CustomSignatureHandler /  revision 1".
' "CustomSignatureHandler /  revision 1".
The custom signature handler factory however, should not just return the custom handler that we have defined in KB 000326. It should not only deal with custom signatures, but it must also work for 'ordinary' ones. This means that the factory should inspect the filter and revision of the signature field and return a handler that is appropriate for that particular field. The code below shows this. It only returns our custom handler when the filter and revision are right, otherwise it returns a standard handler.
When SignatureField.Verify(new CustomSignatureHandlerFactory(sigField.SignedName)) gets called for a field that has been signed with a custom signature, our own custom signature handler will be used to verify the field. This means that the Verify method of the custom handler will be invoked, and that the result will be passed to SignatureField.Verify(...).
Please note that the result of SignatureField.Verify(...) also determines whether a document has been tampered with. The verify method should return false when the signature digest no longer matches the document.
This must not be confused with a call to SignatureField.DocumentModifiedAfterSigning. The latter does not indicate whether a document has been tampered with. SignatureField.DocumentModifiedAfterSigning indicates whether a document has been been updated in a regular way after signing, by appending an update. If such an update is appended, this will not invalidate the signature for the earlier revision of the document, but PDF readers will signal this, so that it is clear to users that an earlier version was signed, an not the current version.
Note also that if a document has been updated after signing, that PDFKit.NET allows you to obtain the earlier signed version via the SignatureField.SignedUpdate property. So, if a signature is valid - i.e. Verify() returns true -, it is always possible to inspect the version that was signed.

Q: How to calculate the angle between a line and the horizontal axis? In a programming language (Python, C#, etc) I need to determine how to calculate the angle between a line and the horizontal axis?
I think an image describes best what I want:

Given (P1x,P1y) and (P2x,P2y) what is the best way to calculate this angle? The origin is in the topleft and only the positive quadrant is used.

A: Sorry, but I'm pretty sure Peter's answer is wrong. Note that the y axis goes down the page (common in graphics). As such the deltaY calculation has to be reversed, or you get the wrong answer.
Consider:
System.out.println (Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(1,1)));
System.out.println (Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(-1,1)));
System.out.println (Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(1,-1)));
System.out.println (Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(-1,-1)));

gives
45.0
-45.0
135.0
-135.0

So if in the example above, P1 is (1,1) and P2 is (2,2) [because Y increases down the page], the code above will give 45.0 degrees for the example shown, which is wrong. Change the order of the deltaY calculation and it works properly.

A: import math
from collections import namedtuple

Point = namedtuple("Point", ["x", "y"])

def get_angle(p1: Point, p2: Point) -> float:
    """Get the angle of this line with the horizontal axis."""
    dx = p2.x - p1.x
    dy = p2.y - p1.y
    theta = math.atan2(dy, dx)
    angle = math.degrees(theta)  # angle is in (-180, 180]
    if angle < 0:
        angle = 360 + angle
    return angle

Testing
For testing I let hypothesis generate test cases.

import hypothesis.strategies as s
from hypothesis import given

@given(s.floats(min_value=0.0, max_value=360.0))
def test_angle(angle: float):
    epsilon = 0.0001
    x = math.cos(math.radians(angle))
    y = math.sin(math.radians(angle))
    p1 = Point(0, 0)
    p2 = Point(x, y)
    assert abs(get_angle(p1, p2) - angle) < epsilon

A: First find the difference between the start point and the end point (here, this is more of a directed line segment, not a "line", since lines extend infinitely and don't start at a particular point).
deltaY = P2_y - P1_y
deltaX = P2_x - P1_x

Then calculate the angle (which runs from the positive X axis at P1 to the positive Y axis at P1).
angleInDegrees = arctan(deltaY / deltaX) * 180 / PI

But arctan may not be ideal, because dividing the differences this way will erase the distinction needed to distinguish which quadrant the angle is in (see below). Use the following instead if your language includes an atan2 function:
angleInDegrees = atan2(deltaY, deltaX) * 180 / PI

EDIT (Feb. 22, 2017): In general, however, calling atan2(deltaY,deltaX) just to get the proper angle for cos and sin may be inelegant. In those cases, you can often do the following instead:

*

*Treat (deltaX, deltaY) as a vector.

*Normalize that vector to a unit vector. To do so, divide deltaX and deltaY by the vector's length (sqrt(deltaX*deltaX+deltaY*deltaY)), unless the length is 0.

*After that, deltaX will now be the cosine of the angle between the vector and the horizontal axis (in the direction from the positive X to the positive Y axis at P1).

*And deltaY will now be the sine of that angle.

*If the vector's length is 0, it won't have an angle between it and the horizontal axis (so it won't have a meaningful sine and cosine).

EDIT (Feb. 28, 2017): Even without normalizing (deltaX, deltaY):

*

*The sign of deltaX will tell you whether the cosine described in step 3 is positive or negative.

*The sign of deltaY will tell you whether the sine described in step 4 is positive or negative.

*The signs of deltaX and deltaY will tell you which quadrant the angle is in, in relation to the positive X axis at P1:

*

*+deltaX, +deltaY: 0 to 90 degrees.

*-deltaX, +deltaY: 90 to 180 degrees.

*-deltaX, -deltaY: 180 to 270 degrees (-180 to -90 degrees).

*+deltaX, -deltaY: 270 to 360 degrees (-90 to 0 degrees).

An implementation in Python using radians (provided on July 19, 2015 by Eric Leschinski, who edited my answer):
from math import *
def angle_trunc(a):
    while a < 0.0:
        a += pi * 2
    return a

def getAngleBetweenPoints(x_orig, y_orig, x_landmark, y_landmark):
    deltaY = y_landmark - y_orig
    deltaX = x_landmark - x_orig
    return angle_trunc(atan2(deltaY, deltaX))

angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(5, 2, 1,4)
assert angle >= 0, "angle must be >= 0"
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(1, 1, 2, 1)
assert angle == 0, "expecting angle to be 0"
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(2, 1, 1, 1)
assert abs(pi - angle) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi, it is: " + str(angle)
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(2, 1, 2, 3)
assert abs(angle - pi/2) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi/2, it is: " + str(angle)
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(2, 1, 2, 0)
assert abs(angle - (pi+pi/2)) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi+pi/2, it is: " + str(angle)
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(1, 1, 2, 2)
assert abs(angle - (pi/4)) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi/4, it is: " + str(angle)
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(-1, -1, -2, -2)
assert abs(angle - (pi+pi/4)) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi+pi/4, it is: " + str(angle)
angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(-1, -1, -1, 2)
assert abs(angle - (pi/2)) <= 0.01, "expecting angle to be pi/2, it is: " + str(angle)

All tests pass. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

A: I have found a solution in Python that is working well !
from math import atan2,degrees

def GetAngleOfLineBetweenTwoPoints(p1, p2):
    return degrees(atan2(p2 - p1, 1))

print GetAngleOfLineBetweenTwoPoints(1,3)

A: Based on reference "Peter O".. Here is the java version
private static final float angleBetweenPoints(PointF a, PointF b) {
float deltaY = b.y - a.y;
float deltaX = b.x - a.x;
return (float) (Math.atan2(deltaY, deltaX)); }

A: Considering the exact question, putting us in a "special" coordinates system where positive axis means moving DOWN (like a screen or an interface view), you need to adapt this function like this, and negative the Y coordinates:
Example in Swift 2.0
func angle_between_two_points(pa:CGPoint,pb:CGPoint)->Double{
    let deltaY:Double = (Double(-pb.y) - Double(-pa.y))
    let deltaX:Double = (Double(pb.x) - Double(pa.x))
    var a = atan2(deltaY,deltaX)
    while a < 0.0 {
        a = a + M_PI*2
    }
    return a
}

This function gives a correct answer to the question. Answer is in radians, so the usage, to view angles in degrees, is:
let p1 = CGPoint(x: 1.5, y: 2) //estimated coords of p1 in question
let p2 = CGPoint(x: 2, y : 3) //estimated coords of p2 in question

print(angle_between_two_points(p1, pb: p2) / (M_PI/180))
//returns 296.56

A: deltaY = Math.Abs(P2.y - P1.y);
deltaX = Math.Abs(P2.x - P1.x);

angleInDegrees = Math.atan2(deltaY, deltaX) * 180 / PI

if(p2.y > p1.y) // Second point is lower than first, angle goes down (180-360)
{
  if(p2.x < p1.x)//Second point is to the left of first (180-270)
    angleInDegrees += 180;
  else //(270-360)
    angleInDegrees += 270;
}
else if (p2.x < p1.x) //Second point is top left of first (90-180)
  angleInDegrees += 90;

A: matlab function:
function [lineAngle] = getLineAngle(x1, y1, x2, y2)
    deltaY = y2 - y1;
    deltaX = x2 - x1;

    lineAngle = rad2deg(atan2(deltaY, deltaX));

    if deltaY < 0
        lineAngle = lineAngle + 360;
    end
end

A: A formula for an angle from 0 to 2pi.
There is x=x2-x1 and y=y2-y1.The formula is working for
any value of x and y. For x=y=0 the result is undefined.
f(x,y)=pi()-pi()/2*(1+sign(x))*(1-sign(y^2))
     -pi()/4*(2+sign(x))*sign(y)

     -sign(x*y)*atan((abs(x)-abs(y))/(abs(x)+abs(y)))

MIDWAY CITY, Calif., March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Family Housing (AFH) – a nonprofit organization that provides housing and related services to low-income and homeless families and adults – is pleased to announce the recent selection of Mark Hoover as the chair of its all-volunteer Board of Directors.
With intimate knowledge of housing regulations and procedures, Hoover is uniquely qualified to guide AFH as it takes on housing initiatives. Possessing over 40 years of experience as vice president of sales and marketing for First American Corporation's home building division in Southern California, Hoover has been a member of the American Family Housing board of directors since 2015.
"It is so important to provide permanent supportive housing so we can end homelessness and, in the meantime, provide for shorter-term options such as emergency shelters," Hoover said.
The all-volunteer Board of Directors oversees the Chief Executive Officer, Milo Peinemann, and is tasked with steering AFH towards a sustainable future by making sure AFH has resources to fulfill its non-profit mission. From identifying the best collaborative partners to refining internal protocols, Hoover intends to ensure that AFH continues to fine-tune itself so that the organization remains strong and stable as it grows.
Hoover has a personal passion for donating his time, energy and real estate knowledge to provide affordable housing to those who cannot meet market rates.
No stranger to nonprofit organizations that strive to alleviate homelessness, Hoover also sits on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Orange County and Jamboree Housing Corporation. Each organization is committed to produce housing, and hope, in support of their non-profit missions.
Hoover is joined on the Board's Executive Committee by Glenn Williams as Vice Chair, Lauren Ellermeyer as Treasurer, and Father Bill Barman as Secretary. Peinemann also expressed his gratitude to outgoing Board Chair Tom Burnham, who will continue to work with Hoover and Peinemann on board recruitment and in support of a diverse board that is representative of the communities that AFH serves.

Author Interview: Nine Dots Prize winner James Williams on Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy
17 comments | 2 shares
Are digital technologies making politics impossible? This question launched the Nine Dots Prize in October 2016, a new award for creative thinking in the social sciences that seeks to encourage innovative, interdisciplinary responses to the pressing issues of our time. Chosen from over 700 applicants, James Williams was announced as the inaugural winner last year with his resulting book, Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy, published on 31 May 2018 by Cambridge University Press in hard copy and open access formats. We spoke to James about the book and becoming the first recipient of the Nine Dots Prize.
Interview with Nine Dots Prize winner James Williams, author of Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy
Find this book:
James Williams was undertaking PhD research at the Oxford University Internet Institute when a friend in the History department, Ernesto Oyarbide, mentioned the Nine Dots Prize and encouraged him to apply. Launched in October 2016, the Prize invited applicants to anonymously submit a 3,000-word essay in response to the question: 'are digital technologies making politics impossible?'. With the winner awarded $100,000 US dollars and the opportunity to develop their thoughts into a short book, Williams was announced as the first recipient of the Nine Dots Prize in May 2017.
While Williams had over ten years of professional experience working at Google and was researching technology design ethics for his PhD, it was the provocative wording of the question that drew him to apply for the Prize. For Williams, there was something particularly interesting in the question's implication that digital technologies are involved in an ongoing construction of our world and the reference to politics having become 'impossible' as a result – contrastingly implying a finality, a fixity to our current predicament. The 'grammatical tension' between these two visons seemed an apt mirror for the now-familiar friction between binary understandings of digital technologies as either offering the solutions to all our problems or as a detrimental, even outright destructive, force unleashed upon us. Rather than suggest that the truth simply lies somewhere in the middle, Williams sought to give voice precisely to the process of oscillating between these two perspectives as both a researcher and user of digital technologies – and perhaps, in so doing, finding something of a path forward.
The resulting book, Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy, turns its gaze upon the way that we engage with the emergent technologies at our fingertips. While much critical material has understandably focused on questions of information and its management, Williams instead argues that 'in thinking about digital technologies, we haven't given sufficient time to attention'. This perspective was partly inspired by a realisation that struck him when using such technologies: 'I felt […] distracted. But it was more than just ''distraction'' – this was some new mode of deep distraction that I didn't have words for' (7). Rather than view lengthy scrolls down Facebook or Twitter feeds as benign detours from our central engagements with technology, he argues that these processes of 'attentional capture and exploitation' have come to define them, jeopardising our ability to achieve our intentions and goals: 'One day I had an epiphany: there was more technology in my life than ever before, but it felt harder than ever to do the things I wanted to do' (7).
Yet, the book does not just discuss the implications of this 'attention economy' for individuals; instead, Williams shows how this competition for the 'spotlight' of our attention has also impacted our collective will with political consequences:
I knew this wasn't just about me – my deep distractions, my frustrated goals. Because when most people in society use your product, you aren't just designing users, you're designing society. But if all of society were to be become as distracted in this new deep way, as I was starting to feel, what would that mean? What would be the implications for our shared interests, our common purposes, our collective identities, our politics? (10).
Without implying that all roads lead back to Donald Trump when it comes to considering the political crises of the moment, Williams convincingly argues that 'consistently societal discussion has misread him by casting him in informational, rather than attentional, terms' (58). Instead, he suggests that Trump's now-infamous Twitter account functions 'as an embodiment of clickbait', showing how 'content is incidental to effect' in the present moment (58). It was this overtly political thrust to the book that marked a new form of thinking about technology ethics for Williams – 'a new branch on the tree, so to speak'.
While the book invites us to attend to the costs of this 'attention economy' and what we pay when we 'pay attention', it is nonetheless wary of advocating modes of disengagement and self-regulation that posit our online behaviours as akin to an 'addiction' requiring 'detox'. Conflating what may feel compulsive and intermittently out of our control with 'addiction' can play into moralising discourses that imply the existence of contrastingly 'pure', 'organic' or 'natural' modes of engagement, but also, just as crucially, it puts the standard for change too high. In other words, there may be forms of user experience below that of 'addiction' that also require our focus and transformation.
Indeed, while the aim of Stand Out of Our Light is to explore, rather than simply dissolve, the tensions between the destructive and generative potentials of digital technologies, Williams makes clear that it is through understanding and tracing complex networks of accountability that we might find a better means to make the needle actually shift and to instigate lawmakers, regulators, designers and others to pull the levers of change. In this sense, Stand Out of Out Light offers hope that we can 'defend our freedom of attention' and bring these new technologies back on to our side – after all, as Williams reminds us, 'the web is fewer than 10,000 days old' (124, emphasis in original).
The book is striking in its particular blend of research, real-world examples and the anecdotal. Stand Out of Our Light is a text that intersperses insights from democracy theorists such as Jan-Werner Müller, technology journalists like Katharine Schwab and philosophers including Hegel and Karl Popper with references to Bon Dylan interviews and T.S Eliot's The Waste Land, joined by evocative anecdotes of falling behind in high school calculus class due to a compulsion to play Tetris, amongst others. The inclusion of this personal voice was partly shaped by Williams's experiences of working with and using technologies, yet he explains that this was also one of the key goals of the Prize – to reach a broad audience through something other than 'a straightforwardly academic book'.
Given that there was only a year between Williams being announced the winner of the Nine Dots Prize and the launch of Stand Out of Our Light, Williams describes the publication process as an expedited experience, with everything from writing to editing kicked up into high gear: 'if doctoral work is like running a marathon, writing this book was like running a sprint at the end of the marathon.' The result is a book that 'covers a large terrain over a small number of pages', akin to 'casting a bunch of seeds' with the aim being to see which, in time, may sprout into further research, with questions of future interest to Williams including the role of technologies as the new governors and governments of our time and the challenge of forging a new language for the politics of today.
With the Prize run according to a two-year cycle, the next question is due to be announced in October 2018. Williams encourages others to submit, as the award will only benefit from 'the more voices we have putting their perspectives into the mix'. For those daunted by the prospect of adding to what might feel like ever-growing work pressures, Williams also praises the application process of submitting a 3,000-word essay as offering a 'commitment device to explore something outside of what you might usually write'. Having not imagined he would become the first recipient of the Prize, Williams advises: 'Apply, because you never know.'

This pretty girl oil on canvas painting was created by Haskell Coffin for the cover of the Fall and Winter 1914-1915 catalog for Perry, Dame and Company of New York. This is a large painting, at 33" x 45", and is a great example of his work.
William Haskell Coffin was born in 1878 in Charleston, South Carolina. He is best known for his portraits of pretty women. Coffin began studying art at the Corcoran Art School in Washington. He received a scholarship at the Art Student's League, and participated in many exhibitions in New York, before traveling to Paris to continue his study of art. He created many images for posters during World War I. Many of his paintings also appeared as images on magazine covers, such as Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and Modern Priscilla. He also produced many calendar images for the Gerlach Barklow Calendar Co. and the Thomas D. Murphy Company. His artwork appeared on countless advertising pieces, as well. Despite his popularity as an esteemed artist, Haskell Coffin was troubled by financial difficulties, and committed suicide in 1941 just prior to the start of World War II, at the age of sixty three.

Gutless & Grateful Comes to Central Penn College on May 11th
by Amy | Apr 13, 2016 | Gutless Performances, Upcoming Events | 0 comments
Amy will be presenting Gutless & Grateful to the student body at Central Penn College, 600 Valley Road, Summerdale, PA 17093-0309, on May 11th, 2016 at 12:10pm to 1:40pm, in the ATEC 203 – which is a multipurpose space with theatre-style seating.
On May 11th, 2016, Central Penn College's Student Life Department will be bringing PTSD survivor and advocate Amy Oestreicher to campus. Amy is a PTSD peer-to-peer specialist, artist, author, speaker for RAINN, writer for The Huffington Post, award-winning health advocate, actress, and playwright, eagerly sharing the lessons learned from trauma through her writing, performance, art and speaking.
Oestreicher is a survivor of sexual abuse, 27 surgeries, a coma, organ failure, six years being unable to eat or drink, and the PTSD that comes from ten years of trauma.
Determined to bridge the gap of communication between wellness resources on college campuses and students, and knowing how difficult it was to speak of her own own abuse (especially after waking up from a coma months later), Amy devised a program that combines Broadway theatre with sexual assault awareness and mental health advocacy, providing hope, help and saving lives.
In 2012, she wrote, directed, and starred in a one-woman musical about her life, Gutless & Grateful, touring theatres across the country for three years, and earning rave reviews and accolades since its BroadwayWorld Award-nominated NYC debut. Finding the gifts of a traumatic experience, Amy calls the past ten years a "beautiful detour." Amy's "beautiful detour" inspired her to create the #LoveMyDetour movement, a social media campaign inspiring people to flourish because of, rather than in spite of challenges.
Now, Gutless & Grateful will be taking a "beautiful detour" to Russell Sage College. In this inspirational, empowering performance, survivor Amy Oestreicher weaves her near death experience and unique personal story with an eclectic set of songs, highlighting the disappointments, struggles, triumphs, and humor in her life on a musical journey of hope, determination, and perseverance. A celebration of life through creativity, passion, and gratitude, "Gutless" can touch everyone from trauma survivors to anyone needing inspirational words of courage, humor, and healing. Amy will perform her autobiographical one-woman musical, talk about the healing process of telling her story, and provide hope, help, resources, and insights.
"Nobody expects a detour to happen in life. Its what happens when we think we have things planned and all figured out, and then we're thrown a curveball. For a long time, my detour felt like a dead-end. After 27 surgeries and six years unable to eat or drink, I didn't know where my life was going, anymore. As my stitches healed, one-by-one, my thoughts seemed to unravel day-by-day. My detour took me to a very scary place, into a new body and a new mind, troubled by PTSD. Not only had I woken up in a new body, I now had a mind troubled with anxious thoughts, associations and memories. The detour I traveled was a very rough path. Although it became worth it, for a while I didn't want to keep going. I lamented why my path had gone this way, and, plagued with anxiety and hopelessness, I wanted to give up."
Amy strived to give others hope. "When you don't know where you're going, its stressful and anxiety-provoking. College, especially, can be a breeding ground for stress – a turning point in our lives where we're independent, perhaps for the first time. Doors become open to us that we never even knew existed. We realize we have the power to make choices, which can be equal parts empowering and frightening. When I was going through my traumas, the biggest thing I needed to know was that I wasn't alone. I wanted to reach out to a friend, a mentor, or a community of people, just to listen, to show understanding and compassion."
"Gutless & Grateful, is the honest one-woman musical version of my story, showing the great and not so great aspects of a "detour" in life. How I traveled my "detour" was by trial and error – and it still is. But what I realized is that when I finally spoke up, asked for help when I needed it, and shared my story, I was finally able to heal and move on."
Sharing means everything to Amy. "I share to give courage and a sense of belonging to people who are struggling with all kinds of mental health or physical challenges, but also to help build a campus that gives everyone the kind of awareness and generosity of spirit that makes that world a better place. If we all share our "detours", we see that our detours are not detours at all. Every road leads somewhere – we just need to hang in long enough to catch the flowers along the way. The more we share our detours, the more we realize we're not alone."
Amy is most excited about opening the channel of communication on campus as the key to helping others with mental health obstacles. "I'm sharing the story of my life, and then talking to campuses about what students can do to create their own resiliency toolbox – a must-have in order to deal with stress and navigate life's detours. In the final component of my program, I introduce students to a panel of counselors, staff, and wellness resources on campus, opening the channel of communication between the student body and staff. If we can bridge that gap, we can help more students get the help they deserve. The more students we can help, the more compassionate campus we can create."
The event is free and open to the public. You can learn more about Amy's story amyoes.com.

Terry Cryer obituary
Photographer admired for his pictures of jazz greats and for his skill in the darkroom
Fri 20 Jan 2017 09.35 EST Last modified on Thu 27 Jun 2019 07.04 EDT
Joe Watkins, right, and George Lewis, photographed at Ken Colyer's jazz club by Terry Cryer in 1957
Terry Cryer, who has died aged 82, was a photographer who took portraits of jazz and blues musicians in the late 1950s. He produced sparkling prints with a depth that recalled Victorian and Edwardian photographic values, working in the darkroom with the verve and spirit of someone who had learned speed-printing at a Butlin's holiday camp and with a cavalier attitude to chemical reactions nurtured in a life led without fear of the consequences.
His switch from skilled hack to artist came about through a chance remark by John Lennon. Cryer was commercially successful but disenchanted with his work when Lennon told him: "If you're ever any good, you're always good. It's always there. You've just got to find it." Cryer took heed and began studying early photography, immersing himself in pictorialism and the work of Stieglitz, Weston, Coburn and Brandt. He experimented in the darkroom, teaching himself long-forgotten toning techniques and learning how to get the best out of modern papers, increasingly depleted in essential chemicals. His work became sought for exhibitions and private and public collections.
He was born in Leeds, the younger of two sons of Richard and Florence Cryer, into a household where a regular wage was a rarity. His mother left the family when he was a year old, around the time he fell downstairs and fractured his skull. Spinal meningitis set in but, with no antibiotics and only primitive surgery to drain fluids away, his survival was against all odds.
On the eve of the second world war, the brothers joined their father in a touring fair before being evacuated to the South Yorkshire village of Braithwell, where they lived with the kindly Ma and Pa Thompson, learning country ways and a lasting appreciation of good food.
Photography appealed to Cryer's adventurous streak, developed on the rooftops of Leeds, where he stole lead and snared pigeons to sell to butchers, and at 14 he worked for a film processing company where he mixed up chemicals at 100 gallons a time and "felt like the sorcerer's apprentice".

He joined the army aged 17 and was posted to Egypt, where his first job was producing identity cards for 400 fighting men of the East African Pioneer Corps. Coping with the difficulties of photographing dark faces using techniques designed for white ones stood him in good stead for his future portraits of African Americans. He saved up to buy a Rolleiflex but remained bothered by the poor quality of his early negatives and determined to become a better printer. He would go on to become celebrated for his craftsmanship, and was Kodak's printer of the year on six occasions.
In Leeds he met the tuba player Bob Barclay, who had opened a cafe serving egg and chips with jazz records on the side. This would become Studio 20, a celebrated after-hours nightspot with red beans and rice on the menu, in tribute to Louis Armstrong's favourite dish, and in 1956 Cryer met Armstrong in Barclay's company.
American musicians had started coming regularly to Britain, and Cryer photographed the bluesmen Jimmy Rushing and Muddy Waters, and the Eddie Condon and Count Basie bands, and sold the results to London publications. Driving back from seeing Big Bill Broonzy in Manchester, Barclay fell asleep at the wheel and Cryer woke up with a broken neck. A lengthy stay in hospital followed, yet within months he had contrived a trip to London to photograph a Thames riverboat shuffle, still encased in a plaster cast.
In 1957 he married Ann Dear, a schoolteacher, at the urging of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the celebrated gospel performer who was touring with the trombonist Chris Barber's band. They moved to London, where Ann worked at the Marquee club in Oxford Street while Terry comprehensively covered a flourishing jazz scene in Soho. The crossover then was extraordinary: it was possible to dance to the New Orleans jazz of George Lewis one night and listen to the Modern Jazz Quartet's neoclassicism in concert the next. Cryer absorbed it all, then suddenly disappeared from the jazz scene, lured by Associated Press and a regular wage.
On a dozen visits to the USSR, his ingenuity ensured him a ringside seat at important events and opened doors at trade fairs where he rubbed shoulders with politicians including Nikita Khrushchev and Reginald Maudling. His aptitude for wheeling and dealing, learnt at his father's knee, helped him out of several scrapes but did not prevent his deportation to Poland. He carried home several press awards and won the admiration of his peers, then advertising and industrial work for oil companies followed, taking him to Nigeria and the motor-racing circuit. A series of business partnerships kept him commercially active but artistically unfulfilled until the meeting with Lennon, which came about as a result of an enduring friendship with the extended family of Paul McCartney.
A series of photographs of students at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds spotlighted Phoenix, the exciting black dance troupe from Chapeltown, and his fine prints from these sessions, some toned with gold chloride, marked his new role as a master printer.
Cryer was one of the first jazz photographers I knew and one of my early heroes, although our friendship did not begin until three decades later. At his home in Leeds, named Little Holland House after the home of his own hero, the pioneer of Victorian photography Julia Margaret Cameron, he taught me to improve my darkroom techniques. Later he asked me to write the introduction to One in the Eye, his 1992 autobiography.
In the mid-60s, following divorce from Ann, he married Johanna Maria de Jong, a model from Holland, from whom he was divorced in 1981. He is survived by the three daughters, Kelly, Danielle and Julee, of his second marriage, and by his brother, Peter.

For President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the largest construction project ever to occur in the north country was more than a triumph of engineering and industrial achievement, it was also a symbol of peace. When the former Army general attended dedication ceremonies of the St. Lawrence Seaway on June 26, 1959, he spoke of the waterway shared by the United States and Canada as an example of international cooperation for other nations to copy.
"It is, above all, a magnificent symbol to the entire world of the achievements possible to democratic nations peacefully working together for the common good," he said.
President Eisenhower, who was joined that day in St. Lambert, Quebec, by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, was the first U.S. president to recognize the importance of the Seaway. He would certainly not be the last.
The idea of creating a way for ships to bypass rapids on the St. Lawrence River was nearly 200 years in the making. The British, facing rebellions in its American colony, desired a quick water route between the Canadian cities of Montreal and Kingston, Ontario.
When Montreal was temporarily captured by Americans in 1775, Sir Frederick Haldimand, governor-in- chief of Quebec, pressed his government for development along the river.
As a result of Haldimand's enthusiasm, British Royal Engineers began building a series of small canals to avoid the rapids between Lake St. Francis and Lake St. Louis. Improvements were made, but the transportation system was still slow and costly.
In the early 1800s, Northern and Central New York became more populated. These new residents recognized the value in being able to move products – primarily lumber and wheat – by water. Construction on the Erie Canal was started in 1818 and by the mid-1830s that waterway was a threat to commerce in Canada.
This prompted the Canadians to build a canal near Cornwall, Ontario, followed by others in Beauharnois, Quebec, and Williamsburg, Welland and Soulanges, Ontario.
The canals were suitable for helping small boats pass through areas such as the International Rapids section of the St. Lawrence River between Massena and Cornwall, but there was soon talk by Canadian officials of building a Canadian-owned canal system that would require U.S. boats to pay tolls.
The U.S. government also coveted a shipping channel that would connect the Atlantic Ocean to the American Midwest and the idea of paying tolls to Canada did not sit well with many U.S. officials. However, this still did not justify the incredible expense of building a U.S.- owned canal and a bill proposed in the U.S. Senate in 1948 to authorize the Seaway was defeated.
What made the project affordable in the eyes of U.S. legislators was its coupling with a hydropower project. Not only could the rapids be defeated for shipping purposes, their awesome force could be tamed for the generation of power.
New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had first proposed the idea of a power project only, but it was President Harry S. Truman's opposition to this that brought about the realization that the canal/hydropower project could be done jointly. Mr. Truman was a staunch supporter of the Seaway.
The International Joint Commission, created in 1909 to settle water boundary disputes between the United States and Canada, gave permission to Ontario Hydro on the Canadian side and the New York Power Authority on the American side to build a shared hydropower dam.
The lack of shopping facilities in Massena was cited in 1956 as the main complaint among the wives of workers who came for the massive project. "It's impossible for me to buy a shoe for my narrow feet in Massena," one woman told the Watertown Daily Times. "They forget there are people here earning more than $65 a week," said another.
The living accommodations were not what some workers and their families were used to, but they made do.
The workers, both skilled and unskilled, came for the good pay, which could average about $550 a month for a foreman.
Moving around the country was hardest for the children, said Elwood R. Hamilton, of Baudette, Minn. His daughters, Lilace, 18, and Patricia, 16, were students at Massena High School, one of several schools they had attended during their father's 12-year construction career.
Ellen A. Rochford, a native of Brasher Falls and a graduate of St. Lawrence University, Canton, had left her teaching job in the Catskill Mountains in 1954 to work construction in Morocco.
She said she was "fascinated" by construction work and returned to the north country to work in the administration section of a contractor working on the Seaway.
Not all of the employees on the Seaway were traditional blue-collar workers. A large contingent of "Ivy Leaguers in hard hats" also came north to earn up to $1,000 for summer employment.
The roll of schools revealed the names of Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia and Cornell as some of the institutions represented. There was a practical side to many of the students' work, as some were considering careers in engineering or geology.
The project was hailed as one of the most successful industrial safety stories up until that time. An insurance company had calculated that on a typical project of the Seaway's size, up to 100 people would be killed. The Seaway project lost only three workers.
By contrast, the Panama Canal, Hoover and Grand Coulee dams, the Colorado river aqueducts, the Oakland Bay Bridge and the Empire State Building resulted in a total of 1,544 fatalities. This figure does not include the number of those who died of yellow fever while working on the Panama Canal.
The landscape along the St. Lawrence River was forever changed by the project. On the U.S. side, 60 farms and 262 camps were in the project's path and needed to be either moved or torn down. The community of Louisville Landing near Massena ceased to exist.
Including Canadian property, some 225 farm families and 500 cottage owners were displaced to make way for flooding 14,700 acres of low-lying lands. There were 19 cemeteries and some 13 miles of highway relocated. Railroad tracks, docks, boat houses, golf courses, public beaches and other facilities were moved. In all, 1,970 buildings were relocated or torn down.
It will long be debated whether farmers were paid a fair price for their riverfront property. One farmer said in 1955 that he had been unable to sell his property for $10,000 five years before and now was being offered $105,000 for the property.
However, other property owners formed the St. Lawrence Landowners' Association on July 4, 1954 to protest the amount they were offered for their land from the New York Power Authority. This organization served the useful purpose of allowing neighbors to blow off steam to one another, but its formal protests fell on deaf ears.
"They treat us like a bunch of rubes," a landowner said to the Times in 1955.
Power Authority Chairman Robert Moses, who said it was essential to the Seaway and hydroelectric project's time schedules to "speed up the land acquisition program" made it clear he was not seeking to make friends in the north country.
"We are not diplomats. We are interested in the long-range effects (of the projects) and are not attempting to win immediate acclaim," he said.
Daniel Cuglar, whose family settled on Long Sault Island in the 1820s, said in 1955 that land not needed for use in the two projects should be offered for sale back to the original owners.
"This authority is no year-round Santa Claus commissioned to pay your bills," Mr. Moses said to Massena Mayor Ralph Johns.
On July 1, 1958, the raising of the pool that would become Lake St. Lawrence began. By the time it was finished on July 4, 1958, the lake covered 37,500 acres and held 244 billion gallons of water. This impoundment would serve as the "power pool" for producing electricity at what was now known as the Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Project.
The damming of the river for power production created the need for a way for ships to bypass the dam, thus the need for a system of locks.
Construction on the Seaway was completed in 1959. It cost more than $470 million, of which the United States paid $133.8 million.
The Seaway system itself consists of 2,038 nautical miles, stretching from the Gulf of St. Lawrence at the Atlantic Ocean to the western end of Lake Superior at the twin ports of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis. There are 17 locks to raise and lower ships along that stretch.
While Mr. Eisenhower and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II attended the Seaway's opening near Montreal on June 26, 1959, it was up to Vice President Richard M. Nixon to handle the ceremonies the next day in Massena. Queen Elizabeth joined Mr. Nixon at the lock that bears Mr. Eisenhower's name.
Eisenhower Lock uses 22 million gallons of water during each transit to raise and lower ships more than 100 feet in less than 10 minutes. It can accommodate a vessel up to 740 feet in length and up to 78 feet in width.
Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. Nixon were not the only U.S. presidents who looked at the Seaway as an important link to the nation's economy.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was an early supporter of the project, viewing the navigation passage as a means of defense in the unstable early 1940s. The accompanying cheap power was also of importance to him and the hydroelectric project that resulted would come to be named the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project.
In 1954, when there was opposition to the Seaway from railroads and East Coast ports, a junior senator from Massachusetts advocated its construction. John F. Kennedy said the Seaway "is in the best interests of our country and in the best interests of Massachusetts." Texas Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson voted against the project.
When Mr. Kennedy became president in 1960, he appointed Martin W. Oettershagen as the Seaway's second administrator, replacing its first administrator, Lewis G. Castle.
Mr. Nixon returned to Massena in 1969, this time as president. He attended the Seaway's 10th anniversary celebration with Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
Mr. Reagan did not come north, but sent his secretary of transportation, Elizabeth H. Dole, who would mount an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 1999.
Since 1959, more than 2.5 billion metric tons of international cargo – mostly bulk grain, iron ore and manufactured iron and steel – have moved through the Seaway's locks aboard more than 200,000 ships flying the flags of over 50 nations. The value of the cargo is estimated at more than $375 billion.
Most of these ships have had safe passages, but there have been groundings, oil spills, collisions and even sinkings.
The first reported incident was on June 22, 1964. The Stella Dora, a 443-foot Norwegian ship, went aground on Pullman Shoal near Alexandria Bay, halting ship traffic for seven hours.
One of the most notorious accidents occurred on April 15, 1974. A Canadian crude oil tanker, the Imperial Sarnia, went aground on Whaleback Shoal, about halfway between Alexandria Bay and Ogdensburg, spilling 1,000 gallons of crude oil. The cleanup of this spill cost more than $2 million.
But this spill was topped on June 23, 1976. The barge Nepco- 140 struck Comfort Shoal off Keewaydin State Park, rupturing three cargo tanks and spilling 308,000 gallons of Venezuelan No. 6 oil into the river. The cleanup took more than a month.
One ship full of oil sank in 1974, but didn't present a problem until last year. The Roy A. Jodrey, a 640- foot freighter, sank on Nov. 21, 1974, in 150 feet to 200 feet of water off the Coast Guard station on Wellesley Island.
It was believed that about 40,000 gallons of oil out of 50,000 gallons were off-loaded from the ship, but it may have been less than that. Oil started bubbling from the site during the summer of 1998 and eight tanks were removed under the supervision of the U.S. Coast Guard.
On June 18, 1982, Canada's luxury cruise ship Canadian Empress ran aground near Gananoque, Ontario. No oil spilled and there was only minor damage to the ship's front hull.
Several ships went aground during the 1990s, without significant damage or delays resulting. On June 18, 2015, the cruise ship MS Saint Laurent struck a concrete knee wall on the west gate of the Eisenhower Lock in Massena. The five-deck, 105-stateroom luxuryship was carrying 274 people, including passengers and crew, when it hit the lock.
More than a dozen ambulances took 19 passengers and three crew members to Massena Memorial Hospital after the cruise ship struck the wall, which acted as a fender to protect the gate. Two passengers were taken by Seaway Valley Ambulance to the University of Vermont Medical Center, Burlington.
The Seaway has also been blamed for introducing zebra mussels, as well as other invasive species into the St. Lawrence River. It is believed the troublesome mollusk was released into the river when a ship from Europe dumped its ballast water.
Ships passing on the St. Lawrence Seaway – considered an unachievable dream even as late as the 1940s – have become such a part of the Northern New York scenery that it could easily be forgotten how vital the waterway has become for the area and the rest of the country.
It is now estimated the Seaway creates nearly 100,000 jobs throughout the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River region and generates about $14 billion in personal income and $34 billion in business revenues each year.

Three Things I've Learned About Networking - SKMurphy, Inc.
Networking is helping other people: carry more than your own card and connect folks who will benefit from talking to each other.
Ford Harding's Rainmaking (now with 2nd Edition, see not below) has been a source of inspiration and insight for me, his focus is professional service firms but a lot of it is also applicable to any complex sale that involves orchestration and ongoing service and support. He has a good blog as well.
Networking is the act of putting yourself in an environment to meet and interact with others.
Referrals happen when someone introduces you to a third party who might benefit from what you have to offer.
Malcolm Gladwell offers a perspective on networking in "Six Degrees of Lois Weinberg" about the true nature of excellent networkers.
Something to add to my rule of thumb about how you spend your days as a consultant. First, let me clear up one common misunderstanding: I am talking about average days per week, not that you do not spend some weeks not working at all and some weeks working five or even seven days working. In this business, you cannot always control the way work arrives (but you often can control it more than you think).
Second, people often complain that they cannot make a living doing paid work only two days a week (average). To them, I answer that it means they are not charging enough for a day of work. Which does not mean that they should immediately raise their rates, but that they have a goal to strive for–which is why they need to spend so much time developing both their skills and their marketing.
Many thanks for the kind words about my book, Rain Making. There is a second edition out that has about 40% new content that I would recommend over the one in your link. It is also available on Amazon as Rain Making-2nd Edition.


William Griffith is a native of Branchburg, New Jersey and currently resides in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He received his BA in History from Shepherd University in 2014, and MA in Military History from Norwich University in 2018. His passion for history can be traced back to his first trip with his father to Fort William Henry along the southern shore of Lake George when he was five-years-old. William has been published in Garden State Legacy magazine and has written for the U.S. Navy Cruiser Sailors Association periodical, Emerging Civil War, and The Journal of Civil War Medicine. While completing his undergraduate studies at Shepherd, he spent his time as a volunteer with the Gettysburg Foundation and the George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War, and also worked as an intern and substitute librarian at the David Library of the American Revolution. He has previously served as a historical interpreter at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool, Maryland, and is currently employed by the Gettysburg Foundation. When not indulging himself in military history, he can be found closely following his second passion – the New York Yankees.

The geometries of Arctic all-weather road construction
April 7, 2015 Mia Bennett 6
Once the all-weather road is complete, the ice road will no longer be maintained as Canada's permanent road system will finally extend all the way to the Arctic Ocean.
2015 marks the third season of construction along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk all-weather road. That means it's possible to watch construction of the road from space unfold over a three-year period, seen in the satellite image time-lapse above. This $300 million, 140-kilometer road will permanently link Tuktoyaktuk, a hamlet on the Arctic Ocean in Canada's Northwest Territories, with the town of Inuvik to the south – and with it, the Dempster Highway. Currently, Tuktokyaktuk is only connected by land to the rest of Canada during winter, when an ice road to Inuvik is maintained on the Mackenzie River. Once the all-weather road is complete, the ice road will no longer be maintained as Canada's permanent road system will finally extend all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Anyone with a driver's license will be able to drive from the Pacific to the Arctic to the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Talk about a three-ocean road trip. As the government website boasts,
"This road, which extends the Dempster Highway to the Arctic coast, will complete Canada's road network from coast to coast to coast. It will strengthen Canada's Arctic presence and contribute to economic and social development in the North."
Watch construction of the Tuktoyaktuk-Inuvik All-Weather Road progress over three years from space. Imagery from Landsat-8/NASA via Google Earth Engine, processing and graphic by Cryopolitics.
I've written before that one largely unstated reason behind the road's construction may have to do with the oil and gas deposits offshore Tuktoyaktuk, in the Mackenzie Delta. When the road was approved in 2011, oil prices were high. Now, they are so low that many Arctic oil and gas development projects have been shelved. Chevron, which holds one of the leases in the Mackenzie Delta, announced in December 2014 that it would put its plans for its EL 481 block "on hold indefinitely."

No turning back
Neither the federal nor territorial government can turn their backs on the road now. In any case, Canadian sovereignty and presence in the Arctic is at stake, so progress continues. After all, the price of oil may rise again one day. If and when the day comes that oil and gas are drilled offshore in the Mackenzie Delta, oil companies will save hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation costs thanks to the road to Tuk. Local residents, meanwhile, will save a mere $1.5 million, although, as the government likes to celebrate, they'll have improved mobility and connections to the rest of Canada. They will also benefit from the hundreds of (temporary) jobs that have been created during construction. Seen otherwise, however, this road represents the permanent encroachment of fossil-fueled development into the earth's northernmost frontiers. Roads like this also embody both the naïveté and narcissism of humans, for the government is deigning to build the road even as Tuktoyaktuk slides downward and seaward due to melting permafrost and coastal erosion.
Moving mountains of gravel
The strip of sovereignty-streaked asphalt continues to wind its way south, with progress going faster from the Tuktoyaktuk side than the Inuvik side due to the slightly flatter and colder conditions up north, which facilitate construction. The two ends of the road should meet somewhere in the middle by next year, with construction being completed during the 2017/2018 season. A CBC News story has more details on the difficulties and delays facing construction crews. It also has the factoid that "1.9 million cubic metres of dirt" have been moved so far during construction. Yet this number is just a bunch of zeroes unless it is compared with other projects across human history. So how does the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk road stack up?
Over 1000 years, in approximately 100 different limestone quarries, inhabitants of ancient Corinth (in present-day Greece) removed 1.9 million cubic meters of stone.
In two years, from 2007-2009, the Finnish port of Raahe dredged 1.9 million cubic meters of soil to create a deep-water channel and harbor.
Every day in 2013, China produced 2 million cubic meters of shale gas.
In other words, it took the Ancient Greeks a thousand years to move the amount of earth that has been moved in just three short winters in an extremely inhospitable environment. The exponential compression of the amount of time needed to move huge quantities of earthern material brings to mind those charts that illustrate almost every index of human development shooting up in a straight line after 1950 or so.
The 1.9 million cubic meters of gravel that have been moved near Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik are more than just "dirt." In a boggy, permafrost-laden tundra like the northern Northwest Territories, this material is a precious commodity. The negotiators of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, the treaty signed in 1984 between the Canadian government and the indigenous Inuvialuit, who inhabit the area around the Mackenzie Delta, had enough foresight to include a regulation detailing the royalties that the government would pay the Inuvialuit in the case that it wanted to use some of their gravel. The Inuvialuit Settlement Region, in which the road is located, even has a Granular Resources Management Plan. The document states that the Inuvialuit and the Government of Canada both recognize the importance of the "effective use of finite gravel resources in one of the most geographically remote places in Canada." Settlement of the royalties paid by the government for the gravel removed from Inuvialuit private lands was, in fact, one of the final obstacles that had to be cleared before road construction could begin.
One road engineer to another: Where do we draw the line?
Building on shifting earth
Aside from moving politically and environmentally sensitive earth, the construction crews must know how to build on top of earth that literally is moving. That's because permafrost underlies this corner of the Northwest Territories. In the summer, the white expanses give way to a pockmarked landscape of lakes and tundra. The road is therefore being built at an elevated level slightly above the permafrost. The image above may remind some readers of the landscape in the Yamal Peninsula, where a giant crater opened up in the earth last year. Looking at the Mackenzie Delta in this satellite image, it seems impossible to determine where to begin even drawing a road in a world that looks like Swiss cheese – but somehow, the Canadian engineers have done it. Where there's a will, there's an all-weather way that takes into account everything above and below ground – and whose results can be seen from space.
In 2017/2018, the twain shall meet.

Brian Dennehy, 'Tommy Boy' and 'First Blood' Star, Dies at 81
April 16, 2020 cowboyrons@gmail.com News 0
By Carmel Dagan22

Brian Dennehy, the winner of two Tonys in a career that also spanned films including "Tommy Boy," "First Blood" and "Cocoon," and television roles including "Dynasty" and "Death of a Salesman," died on Wednesday night in New Haven, Conn. He was 81.
"It is with heavy hearts we announce that our father, Brian passed away last night from natural causes, not Covid-related. Larger than life, generous to a fault, a proud and devoted father and grandfather, he will be missed by his wife Jennifer, family and many friends," his daughter, actress Elizabeth Dennehy, tweeted on Thursday.
His agency ICM also confirmed the news.
In the 1995 comedy "Tommy Boy," Dennehy was Big Tom, the father of Chris Farley's character Tom, who takes over the family's auto parts business with David Spade after his father dies. In Ron Howard's 1995 hit "Cocoon," Dennehy played the leader of the alien Antareans who leave lifeforce-giving cocoons in a a swimming pool near a retirement home.
The imposingly tall, barrel-chested Dennehy won his first Tony for his performance as Willy Loman in a revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" in 1999 and his second Tony for his turn as James Tyrone in a revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" in 2003.

The actor made his TV and feature debut in 1977 — a year in which he made appearances in at least 10 series or telepics, including "Kojak," "MASH" and ""Lou Grant," and the films "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" and "Semi-Tough." From that point he maintained a heavy work load for decades.
In 1982 his profile increased significantly thanks to his effective performance in the role of Teasle, the sadistic small-town police chief who is Sylvester Stallone's lead adversary in "First Blood."
In addition to "Cocoon," he had significant roles in the 1983 thriller "Gorky Park" and in "Silverado." He was second-billed, after Bryan Brown, in the well-constructed 1986 thriller "F/X," in which he played a cop not part of the conspiracy, and in the 1991 sequel. He was fourth-billed in "Legal Eagles," after the star trio of Robert Redford,

This would be the student version of programs such as endnote. It would do two main things. The first is that it would allow people to "highlight" and "tab" related passages on PDF and other files, across documents. It would put these "highlights" into corresponding folders for different topics within the same project, such as blue for topic 'A', red for topic 'B', etc. It would allow for different projects for different courses, and the different colors within each project. The second thing is that it would help students track and cite their sources.
