Essay about John D. Rockefeller
Submitted By Rav-Rah
John Davidson Rockefeller was born in Richford, New York in July 8, 1839. His father's name was William Avery Rockefeller and his mother's name was Eliza Davison. He was second of the six children in the Rockefeller family. Some of his ancestors can be traced back to France. His father owned farm property and traded in many goods, including lumber and patent medicines. His mother was quite the opposite of his father's fun-loving ways. She brought up her large family very strictly. She was religious and later, following his mother's footsteps, John became religious too.
When he was a boy, his family moved to Owego in 1851, where he attended Owego Academy. In 1853, his family moved again. Then in Strongsville, Rockefeller attended Cleveland's Central High School and took a ten week business course at Folsom's Commercial College. There he studied about bookkeeping. He got his first job as an assistant bookkeeper in September 1855. He was really good at calculating transportation costs, which helped him later in his career.
In 1859, at age nineteen, he started his first company, Clark and Rockefeller. With the building of a railroad to Cleveland, they branched out into oil refining with Samuel Andrews, who was smart about the machines and technical stuff. Within two years Rockefeller became the senior partner and Clark was bought out. That's how Rockefeller and Andrews became Cleveland's largest refinery. Rockefeller survived the bitter competition in the oil industry with financial help from S. V. Harkness and from a new partner, H. M. Flagler.
The Standard Oil of Ohio was formed by Rockefeller, his brother William, Flagler, Harkness, and Andrews in 1870.To make his company become better and succeed, Rockefeller started buying the competing refiners, making his company better and stronger. He made many secret deals, and bought many of the oil company owners out who competed against him. In less than four months in 1872, Standard Oil had owned 22 of 26 Cleveland competitors. If the owners would refuse his offer of selling…

The Demolition has begun! Now my house is without carpeting upstairs, without wallpaper on some of the walls, without the built in twin bed upstairs. As well, some of the wood paneling is gone and we made a lot of interesting discoveries.
We discovered that the wallpaper in the Living room was on top of primed gyp rock, which was great because I had heard all of these horror stories about trying to get wallpaper off of an unprimed wall. I was also kind of afraid there would be paneling underneath the wall paper. It came off pretty easy which was a blessing!
This was one of the most awesome discoveries we made. We were very curious as to what was underneath the wood paneling in one particular room. Well the answer? Underneath the Wood paneling to the left was the wood paneling to the right. Both of equal "not awesomeness".
We took down the above pictured vertical blinds and discovered that without them, our house looked so much more modern! The window casings were really well done and seeing those made the space just look lovely. Also Creme and pink are lovely colours, they just are not my style.
We also discovered that there were some interesting/unwise choices made regarding the electrical work. So we are trying to fix the "bones" of the house first before we get to a lot of the aesthetic stuff (which is what I really want to do!) For instance there is a dimmer on the light in the bathroom, which I thought was great because I could turn the lights down and have nice intimate lighting for a relaxing bath, however the electrical outlet in that room is also on that same dimmer.. not cool former home owner, not cool.
My mom and dad are here helping us out and I can not tell them enough how much I appreciate their help. We really are lucky to have extra hands as we are both still working as this is going on.


The History internship gives students the opportunity for hands-on experience in a variety of historically-related locations. We have agreements currently with the Texarkana Museums System, Historic Washington State Park, and the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives (and we are always adding more partners!). Students are able to work closely with their faculty mentor and site manager to develop an internship plan that fits their interests and the needs of the partner institution.
We have had students gain experience in historic object conservation, researching and developing displays for museums, leading tours and working with the public, archival management and use, or a combination of any/all of these areas.

This Arm Wrestling Champ from Minnesota Has Unnaturally Huge Arms
Adam Published: January 4, 2022
JeffDabe via Instagram
Jeff's guns have earned him the nicknames "Popeye" and "Anaconda."
Jeff Dabe has always had unnaturally large arms. Boasting oversized limbs since birth, some wondered if perhaps he was born with gigantism or elephantiasis. Tests at the University of Minnesota, however, found no proof of disease or abnormalities.
Embracing his large arms for what they were, Dabe -- from Stacy, Minnesota -- began wrestling competitively.
"I arm wrestled as a senior in high school," he told The Daily Mail. "The fans way back then were the ones that named me Popeye." He arm wrestled until 1986 when he popped his right arm during a contest.
It wasn't until 2012 when Minnesota armwrestling champion Josh Handelland came to town that Dabe decided to start competing again. This time, though, he began using his left arm.
According to Give Me Sport, Dabe won the state championship for Minnesota, going on to compete in the World Armwrestling League (WAL). His WAL bio states that Dabe is a WAL 2014 Finalist; WAL 2015 Northern Region: 3rd Place Left-hand and WAL 2015 Championships Finalist. He stand 5' 9", weighs 250 lbs, his forearms are 19 inches in circumference, and his favorite armwrestling technique is the Hook. Dabe's training includes chores on the farm he lives on in Stacy with his wife Gina, working out with a fitness band while watching TV, hard labor at work and shoveling.

Q: ggplotly with geom_bar shows wrong y-axis values when moving the cursor onto the bar I have the following code creating a bar plot:
require(data.table)
require(plotly)
require(ggplot2)

df1 <- data.table(Time = seq(50, 290, 30), Enter = c(155000, 400000, 950000, 950000, 1000000, 1100000, 1100000, 1100000, 1150000),
Exit = c(150000, 165000, 167000, 225000, 500000, 560000, 562000, 564000, 590000))

df1 <- melt(df1[,c('Time','Enter','Exit')],id.vars = 1)
df1$Time <- as.factor(df1$Time)
df1$value <- format(df1$value, format="f", big.mark=",", scientific = F, digits = 0)
# Create Barplot of In and outflows
ggplotly(tooltip = c("y", "x", "colour"), p =
           ggplot(df1, aes(x = Time, y = value)) +
           geom_bar(aes(fill = variable), stat = 'identity', position = 'dodge', colour = 'black') +
           scale_fill_manual(name = "", labels = c('Enter', 'Exit'), values= c('chartreuse4', 'brown')) +
           labs(x = 'Time', y ='Value'))

When I move the mouse cursor to the bars to see which value the bar has it does not show  (i.e. for the first green bar) 155,000 but 2. Why's that and how can I fix it such that it shows the correct number?

A: The value must be converted to a factor I think! Then it should work fine.
Libraries and the data:
require(data.table)
require(plotly)
require(ggplot2)

df1 <- data.frame(Time = seq(50, 290, 30), Enter = c(155000, 400000, 950000, 950000, 1000000, 1100000, 1100000, 1100000, 1150000),
                  Exit = c(150000, 165000, 167000, 225000, 500000, 560000, 562000, 564000, 590000))

Solution 1: Use value in a factor format:
   df1 <- melt(df1[,c('Time','Enter','Exit')],id.vars = 1)
    df1$Time <- factor(df1$Time)
    #df1$value <- format(df1$value, format="f", big.mark=",", scientific = F, digits = 0)

    # Create Barplot of In and outflows
    ggplotly(tooltip = c("y", "x", "colour"), p =
               ggplot(df1, aes(x = Time, y = value)) +
               geom_bar(aes(fill = variable), stat = 'identity', position = 'dodge', colour = 'black') +
               scale_fill_manual(name = "", labels = c('Enter', 'Exit'), values= c('chartreuse4', 'brown')) +
               labs(x = 'Time', y ='Value'))

Solution 2: to keep value with a numeric format but still the right tooltip separated by comma use the below version:
df1 <- melt(df1[,c('Time','Enter','Exit')],id.vars = 1)
df1$Time <- factor(df1$Time)
df1$value <- format(df1$value, format="f", big.mark=",", scientific = F, digits = 0)

# Create Barplot of In and outflows
p=ggplot(df1, aes(x = Time, y = value, text = paste0("Value:", value)) ) +
           geom_bar(aes(fill = variable), stat = 'identity', position = 'dodge', colour = 'black') +
           scale_fill_manual(name = "", labels = c('Enter', 'Exit'), values= c('chartreuse4', 'brown')) +
           labs(x = 'Time', y ='Value')

ggplotly(p, tooltip = c("x","text"))

What a sweet shirt! This pale green shirt from Harry Potter features the logo for Honeydukes - the legendary wizarding sweet shop.
Harry Potter Honeydukes Sweet Shop Womens Tee - BoxLunch Exclusive is rated 3.2 out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SKLSLP from Heed the size warnings! The reviews are correct! I am normally an XS (32 B, size 0-2 jeans), and the M fit like a fitted tee, especially after washing and drying. I'm also convinced I could have worn a L comfortably. Very cute shirt though! So excited to have something in a "happy" color that's Harry Potter themed, and I'm obsessed with Honeydukes at Universal Studios.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mummah from Size is way off! I normally wear a medium and sized up to a large because of other reviews. I just tried it on and it was extremely tight. My daughter who is a size 4 and a small tried it on and it fits her perfectly.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Etherealprey from Runs extremely small I bought it and was super excited for to get it. I'm usually a small but I didn't know that it ran THIS small. It was incredibly tight and I absolutely could not wear it. It's like child sizing or something! I couldn't return it as I don't live near a box lunch store. Disappointed because I can't wear this. They should have said this shirt runs small and you should size up at least 2 sizes!
Rated 5 out of 5 by vclloyd from Love the design! When I held this up in the store it looked pretty small, so I sized up from my regular size S to a size M and that worked perfectly. I absolutely love the design of this! I've always been drawn to the colors and style of the Honeydukes logo at Universal, so I was so happy to see it as a shirt! I often find HP merch kind of tacky and only ever featuring the bold house colors, so this was a super exciting find for me. It was an instant buy! I can't wait to wear this with my HP trunk purse that I also got at BoxLunch when I go to Universal again!

Q: Literal int to void * Translating GPOINTER_TO_INT and GINT_TO_POINTER to plain C I get:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void *fn(void *v)
{
    int *i;

    i = malloc(sizeof(int));
    *i = (int)(long)v;
    return i;
}

int main(void)
{
    int *i = fn((void *)(long)10);

    printf("%d\n", *i);
    free(i);
    return 0;
}

Is it portable?
Why the cast to long?
In GTK is used for callbacks e.g.:
#define FLAG 10

static void panel_set_handler(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    panel_set(GPOINTER_TO_INT(data));
}

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(menu_item), "activate", G_CALLBACK(panel_set_handler), GINT_TO_POINTER(FLAG));

A: Solution 1: casts
The simplest, Just cast to and from intptr_t. It's the correct version of what the GLib macros do.
Solution 2: using the heap
If you have something bigger than an intptr_t, or when you're not confident in sizes, you can use a dynamically-allocated memory pointer, without casts this time:
void* ToHeap(void const *data, size_t dataSize)
{
    void* ret = malloc(dataSize);
    if(ret != NULL)
        memcpy(ret, data, dataSize);
    return ret;
}

int FromHeap(void* heapPtr, void *data, size_t dataSize)
{
    int ret = 0;
    if(heapPtr != NULL)
    {
        memcpy(data, heapPtr, dataSize);
        free(heapPtr);
        ret = 1;
    }
    return ret;
}

Here is a wrapper for use with ints:
void* IntToHeap(int i)
{
    return ToHeap(&i, sizeof(int));
}
int IntFromHeap(void*heapPtr, int defaultValue)
{
    int ret;
    if(!FromHeap(heapPtr, &ret, sizeof(int))
        ret = defaultValue;
    return ret;
}

And you can use this that way:
#define FLAG 10

static void panel_set_handler(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    panel_set(IntFromHeap(data, 0));
}

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(menu_item), "activate", G_CALLBACK(panel_set_handler), IntToHeap(FLAG));

That way is a bit like your post, minus all these casts.


I called him, and he went straight in, made me download a program like teamviewer, called GoToAssist and then he connected to my computer straight away. Went to system information and stuff. And then he asked me my name, age, how old this computer is and that my whole windows is corrupt. He took full control, so I just rebooted my computer, and exited his program(bottom right). He then got all silent rage mode and said, "you dont need my help, do you?" And then I just hang up. AT YOUR OWN RISK: here is the number: 020 3475 1454. Tried to get screenshot of page but I did reboot my computer and it was a glitchy page. Btw it said that my facebook login will be taken and stuff like that.
Welcome to the site! Hopefully you didn't let him control your real computer? If you haven't done it already, you should use a Virtual program like Oracle VirtualBox. And look for videos on YouTube on how to set it up. Never let them have access to your real computer. Too risky.

About DSACT and World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is an annual March 21 celebration and global awareness day officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. March 21 (3/21) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

Down syndrome is named after the English doctor, John Langdon Down, who was the first to categorize the common features of people with the condition. 2. Dr. Jerome Lejeune discovered Down syndrome is a genetic disorder whereby a person has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two.
There are three types of Down syndrome:
Trisomy 21. This is by far the most common type, where every cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two.
Translocation Down syndrome. In this type, each cell has part of an extra chromosome 21, or an entirely extra one. …
Mosaic Down syndrome.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. A trisomy is a chromosomal condition characterised by an additional chromosome. A person with a trisomy has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome and Patau syndrome are the most common forms of trisomy.
Misconception: People who have Down syndrome cannot have children. Reality: It's true that a person with Down syndrome may have significant challenges in rearing a child. But women who have Down syndrome are fertile and can give birth to children.
Down syndrome, which arises from a chromosome defect, is likely to have a direct link with the increase in stress levels seen in couples during the time of conception, say Surekha Ramachandran, founder of Down Syndrome Federation of India, who has been studying about the same ever since her daughter was diagnosed with …
Men with Down syndrome are considered as infertile although the causes of infertility are not known in detail yet. Although this constitutes a general rule there are three confirmed cases of parenting by fathers with Down syndrome.
People with Down syndrome should always be referred to as people first. Instead of "a Down syndrome child," it should be "a child with Down syndrome." Also avoid "Down's child" and describing the condition as "Down's," as in, "He has Down's." Down syndrome is a condition or a syndrome, not a disease.
A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is 'trisomy. ' Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby's body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.

For Dumbo, a different kind of condo
(The High End): NEW YORK — With a median sales price close to $2 million, the Dumbo neighborhood in Brooklyn routinely finds itself on lists of the New York City's most expensive neighborhoods. One developer is hoping to counter that trend by building condos that are lower in price than those typically sold in the area.
The developer, Hope Street Capital, believes that those working at companies in Dumbo who cannot afford to pay average Dumbo prices will be eager to buy units at 98 Front Street, where studios will start at $595,000 and one-bedrooms at $795,000.
"What we're doing is intentional," said Sha Dinour, a partner at Hope Street Capital. "We looked at what's underserved in Dumbo, and it's homes available for under $1 million."
Many of the listings in the neighborhood tend to be for larger apartments, with two or more bedrooms. This building will have many studio and one-bedroom units, but with more than 100 layouts, it will cater to a variety of likely buyers; Dinour expects they will include single people, couples and families with children.
In the past couple decades, Dumbo has changed from a sleepy, bohemian neighborhood to a booming office area. It is part of the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, which includes the Navy Yard and downtown Brooklyn, and is home to some 500 technology and creative companies, according to the nonprofit Dumbo Improvement District. Employment at tech firms throughout Brooklyn has increased 57% since 2009, making it one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the borough, according to a report by the state comptroller's office. The number of employees in the Brooklyn Tech Triangle is expected to reach about 36,000 by 2020.
Dinour believes that many of these employees want to live in Dumbo but can't afford the hefty prices that have become the norm. In a recent search for homes on nytimes.com/real-estate, only five of the 51 listings were less than $1 million, while 27 were priced at more than $2 million.
"I think there's a serious void in the Dumbo market for a high-end product with a reasonable price threshold," he said. "The traffic at rush hour is amazing, packed with young professionals. I'm betting some of them want to live where they work."
That said, there will also be higher-priced homes in the 165-unit building, including two-bedroom units starting at $1.38 million and three- and four-bedroom homes ranging from $1.85 to more than $4 million.
The building, designed by ODA New York, will be LEED certified when it is completed in the spring of 2020. And the amenities, such as those of other high-end condominiums, will include a steam room, an indoor saltwater pool and spa, and a fitness center equipped with Peloton exercise bikes. The ground-floor lobby will connect to a lounge and coworking space via a courtyard garden with a reflecting pool. The 7,000-square-foot rooftop terrace will have three outdoor kitchens, a bocce court and an outdoor screening and fitness area. Residents will be able to access the building with their cellphones using Latch, a keyless entry system, and Butterfly MX, an intercom system.
The units' interiors will have windows that are nearly 9 feet tall and are insulated and sound-attenuated, as the building sits next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Kitchens will be equipped with Bosch refrigerators, dishwashers, cooktops and ovens.
The neighborhood is now so popular, it has become a tourist magnet, and some streets have been mobbed with throngs of visitors carrying selfie sticks to take photos of themselves with the Manhattan or Brooklyn bridges as a backdrop. But residents know which corners to avoid (including Washington and Water streets), said Rita van Straten, a broker at Douglas Elliman and a former Dumbo resident.
Van Straten, who is not associated with sales at 98 Front Street, said she believes there is an appetite for homes under $1 million. Her Dumbo clients have included many empty-nesters and young professionals, she said, adding, "Dumbo has a very different feel than downtown Brooklyn, so people who look for homes here tend to only want to look at Dumbo homes."
Moreover, the Brooklyn condominium market has remained relatively stable, she noted, compared to that in parts of Manhattan, where sales have slowed. "There was a lot of hesitation among buyers last year, but it feels like there's less uncertainty now," she said. "Interest rates are stable, so we're starting to see more transactions that are completed."
But 98 Front Street will soon have competition: a mixed-use complex called Front and York, which will rise in a former parking lot at 85 Jay St. The project, developed by CIM and LIVWRK, and designed by Morris Adjmi Architects, will be two towers with a mix of more than 700 condominium and rental units.
Residents will have access to a private park designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, the same firm that designed nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park — and according to a spokesman, it will likely be "one of the city's largest private parks."

This program is designed to prepare students for careers in Radiologic Technology. The curriculum includes instruction in the operation of radiographic equipment, the study of human anatomy and clinical experience.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree program is 21 months in length and can be entered only during the fall semester. Space is limited and the program is competitive, so register early. Admission requirements for Radiologic Technology are available in the official RLC Catalog. Students officially accepted into the program will be required to acquire Hepatitis B immunizations, a TB test, CPR certification and health physical at their own expense.
Students pursuing studies in Radiologic Technology may find they are unable to hold a job while in school due to the highly structured scheduling necessary for directed practice at clinical sites. Some RAD clinical rotations include attendance on weekends ... a 3-11 p.m. shift, and an 11 p.m.- 7 a.m. shift.
Upon completion of the program, students will take the national certification examination. Students who have been convicted of a felony charge may not be eligible to apply for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification examination. If there is a concern, the student may have the ARRT Ethics Committee evaluate a pre-application.
For those who hold an AAS Degree in Radiologic Technology and are ARRT registered, an online occupational certificate in Computed Tomography is available. The certificate consists of four classes.
The registered radiologic technologist plays an important role on the medical team by providing quality radiographs for a physician or radiologist (a physician who has specialized in interpretation of diagnostic radiographic images). As a professional assistant, the radiologic technologist functions to aid in the diagnosis of various abnormalities including fractures, tumors, and malfunctioning body systems.
Responsibilities of the radiologic technologist include adjusting radiographic equipment for specific examinations, placing the patient into the correct position, making the required exposure, and processing the images. In some cases mobile radiographic equipment must be used in the emergency room, in surgery, or at the patient's bedside. Responsibilities may also include performing quality assurance procedures, record keeping, ordering supplies, and maintaining equipment.
The major responsibility of the radiologic technologist, however, is compassionate care of the patient. In a profession driven by technical advances, caring for the needs of the patient remains the primary objective. Compassionate care includes proficiency in communication, respecting individual rights, and maintaining safety.
The radiologic technologist receives the social prestige that accompanies a professional career. As part of the medical team professional colleagues might include nurses, lab technicians, physicians, therapists, and other scientific people dedicated to the medical profession. The knowledge and skills of a radiologic technologist serve an integral part of the medical community in the treatment and well being of the patient.
A profession in radiology provides a variety of career opportunities. The registered technologist (RT) is qualified to work in a hospital, a doctor's office, a public health facility, a veteran or military hospital, or an industrial medical clinic. Radiologic technology is a dynamic field with more technological advances expected in the future. This field affords many opportunities for professional growth. An Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiologic Technology serves as a stepping stone for advancement into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), mammography (M), cardiovascular interventional technology (CIT), ultrasound imaging (US), angiography and interventional procedures, radiation oncology, and the field of education.
The 21- month (69.5 credit hours) continuous Radiologic Technology degree program provides didactic and clinical education for potential Radiographers. Clinical experience occurs at clinical facilities in the local area. Program participants can expect substantial off-campus student and preparation for classroom lecture and lab exercises. Students will attend class and clinical during day hours with the exception of assigned evening and weekend rotations which vary upon semester. Upon completion of this program, graduates will obtain an Associate in Applied Science Degree and will be eligible to sit for the national ARRT examination.
Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to change from the day track to evening track or vice-versa.
Students should be aware that clinical start times vary among clinical sites.
Students who have been convicted of a felony charge may not be eligible to apply for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification examination. If there is a concern, the student may have the ARRT Ethics Committee evaluate a pre-application.

JOHANN GOUTARD
November 25, 2017
Johann Goutard is a freelance concept artist who has done work for companies like Gallimard, Flammarion, FremenCorp, and Ubisoft, as well as brand develop for various clients. He received a traditional education in advertising and design and spent the early part of his professional life working as an art director for brand and web agencies, until one day seeing the amazing work of Dylan Cole and Yanick Dusseault in an industry magazine. It was then, he realized he'd found a new calling and set out to become a digital concept artist. Day after day and night after night, blogs and tutorials for emerging artists were his favorite pastime when he wasn't working on client projects. A year later, he began writing his own tutorials for magazines and was eventually commissioned by Nadeo (Ubisoft) for two projects, then shortly after for three Game of Thrones covers by Groupe Flammarion, the fourth-largest publishing group in France. It was the start of his new life as a digital concept artist, and his career has remained a joy ever since.
As a child, Johann enjoyed reading science fiction, especially Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, and dreamed of the many inhabited worlds of the Galactic Empire. Having the opportunity to illustrate the latest editions of the trilogy for French publisher Gallimard was one of his most exciting projects. And yet, with a lifetime ahead of him, it seems the best is yet to come.
As an artist, what inspires you to create science fiction?
Sci-fi is "thinking about the future". Like many people, my love of science fiction stems from movies like Star Wars and Star Trek, and wonderful authors like Isaac Asimov (Foundation), Frank Herbert (Dune), Phillip K. Dick (Blade Runner), and Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451). What I find fascinating about science fiction is that we, as artists, have the power to create and tell our own vision of the future. We choose the time period, level of realism (hard or soft sci-fi), and how close our visions are to the current reality. The only limitation is our imagination, that part of us that transports us elsewhere and has lured us to fantastical places and worlds for most of our childhood. Imagining and dreaming involves transposing the way we current live with the way we might be able to live. These fictional universes are endless for dreamers, and that's the magic of sci-fi!
What sci-fi books, movies, or artists have made a lasting impression on you?
The first thing that comes to mind is the series West World. I totally agree with this vision of the future! It is marked by reality, video games, varied atmospheres, and philosophical questions that are as overwhelming as they are real. Given our current society, and what companies are creating nowadays, everything suggests that we are indeed moving toward augmented reality. With regards to artists and books, I can kill two birds with one stone… Dominium Mundi, written by François Baranger, who also happens to be a very talented concept artist.
Other than art and science fiction, what are you most passionate about?
There are quite a few things, but I would say technology, in a broad sense—the promise of 3D printing and all it offers, drones, flying cars, Virgin Galactic, and the passion that man has for the "utopia" of immortality. ;)
When it comes to the future, what is your outlook for humanity—Utopian, Dystopian, Little of Both?
I don't believe this is a simple question, but I've touched on the subject in my previous answers. The world today is experiencing profound changes at such an unparalleled pace, and I feel all directions are possible. I think about the environment, which seems to be a concern for everybody at the moment, and something that, if not taken seriously, might cancel this question all together. The fact is, the future is already here. It seems every day our present becomes more and more like the science fiction that entertains us. So much so, I feel we're either at the end of something, or that sci-fi, as a genre, is in need of a renewal.
If you could turn one future technology from concept to reality, which would it be?
I think teleportation would be really huge! My cousin has been working on it for years already (ha-ha… private joke). But seriously, I think it could perhaps bring people closer together, instead of having them engage via blue screens.
With regards to intelligent life—not fauna in general—which statement do you think is most likely to be true?
(a) There is an abundance of intelligent life in the universe.
(b) The universe is a big place, but intelligent life is scarce.
(c) Other than mankind and our creations, there is no intelligent life to be found in this universe.
I would say that we do not perceive the universe at its proper scale. In principle, it is difficult to imagine it in its entirety, and therefore extremely hard to understand our place in it. From a philosophical point of view, it is impossible for me to think that we are alone. I would say we just have not found a way to communicate yet.
Other than physics-defying, giant fiery explosions and sound in space (which is done for audience enjoyment), which ideas/concepts do you think are most often misrepresented in modern science fiction?
The heads of aliens. :)
Name at least one other digital artist whose work you admire.

Buster Posey – The Most Important San Francisco Giants Roster Addition
By: Dan Mori | January 1, 2021
The offseason has been a fairly quiet one for the San Francisco Giants. Farhan Zaidi, the Giants' President of Baseball Operations did re-sign starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who was the teams best starter last year. Zaidi has also made a few under the radar moves, acquiring free-agent starter Anthony DeScalfani, reliever Matt Wisler and utility infielder Jason Vosler. However, the most important addition to the 2021 San Francisco Giants roster thus far is the return of Buster Posey.
Buster Posey Returns After Missing 2020
Posey sat out the 2020 season, as he and his wife adopted twin baby girls, who were born prematurely. The infants spent several weeks in the NICU, and Posey opted to sit out the season due to potential health issues related to Covid-19. His decision, based on the fragile health of the two baby girls, was the right thing to do. Giants' management was also in full support. Posey's decision upset some fans, who wrongfully put a 60-game baseball season in front of the health concerns of Posey's family. Nevertheless, it was the right choice for Posey and now we move forward to a new season.
The added benefit of sitting out last season was that Posey got to rest his body, which had endured 11 tough years behind the plate. The Giants will absolutely benefit from having a healthy and rejuvenated Posey behind the plate and in the lineup.
The Catcher Position Was a Negative Last Year
The Giants used four catchers in 2020 and none proved ready for the big stage on offense or defense. Chadwick Tromp and Tyler Heineman opened the season as the Giants catchers. Neither did enough to stake a strong claim to the starting job. Tromp did hit four home runs and collected ten RBI, but only hit for a .213 average in 61 at-bats. His OBP was poor at .219 and his OPS a subpar .645. Tromp had only one walk, compared to 20 strikeouts. The Giants signed Tromp for the 2021 season, so he will have a chance to backup Posey.
Heineman was even worse, as he had no home runs and only one RBI in 42 at-bats. His average was .190 and he had a slash line of .292/.214/.506. Heineman actually had more catchers interference calls against him with three, than he had RBI.
Joey Bart, was called up to the big club on August 20th, as the Giants were getting very little from their other catchers. It was good to get Bart some experience, but he also proved he has a long way to go both offensively and defensively. On defense, Bart often struggled to get on the same page with his pitchers. He will benefit from playing every day in the minors in 2021. Offensively, Bart had the most at-bats of any Giants catcher with 103. He had no home runs and only seven RBI, while hitting .233. His slash line was .288/.320/.609, well below the league averages at his position. Bart often struggled to make contact, striking out 41 times, with only three walks.
Rob Brantly, the only other catcher to play, got into only one game. He had three at-bats and no hits.
Cumulative Numbers
Collectively, the Giants catchers hit only .215, with four home runs and 18 RBI. Their batting average was .215 and their OPS was an abysmal .593. As a group, the catchers struck out a whopping 67 times in only 209 at-bats and had only eight walks.
Defensively, the Giants catchers also struggled to learn the pitching staff. They had trouble calling the game effectively, framing pitches and really gaining the trust and confidence of their pitching staff. A lot of these defensive liabilities can be attributed to a lack of experience. In addition to Posey, look for the Giants to acquire a veteran backup to compete with Tromp for the second catcher spot on the 2021 roster.
Posey Will Help on Both Offense and Defense
Buster Posey's return will erase all of the deficiencies from the catching position in the upcoming season. Defensively, Posey is still one of the best in the game. He is a master at pitch selection, calling a game, knowing the opposing hitters tendencies and framing pitches. In addition, his experience will help the Giants pitchers with their confidence, something that was missing last year.
Although Posey will be 34 years of age when the season starts, he should be primed for a good year offensively. His legs will be fresh and his hip will be fully recovered from his 2018 surgery.
To expect an MVP caliber year from Posey is unrealistic, but he will be significantly better than what the Giants saw in 2020. If he can put together a season with an OPS at .800 or above, which he has done six previous times, that will be a huge boost to the Giants.
Posey's home run and RBI totals will be dependent on how many games are in the MLB season. As the league still tries to navigate the continued threat of Covid-19, we could see a season with fewer than 162 games. Nevertheless, if Posey stays healthy, he should catch 70-80 percent of the games and a potential All-Star selection is not out of the question.
Posey Will Supply Excellent Leadership
Posey's veteran leadership and clubhouse presence also cannot be downplayed. This is something the Giants sorely missed in 2020. Whether or not the Giants can contend for a playoff berth will depend on a myriad of factors. One thing the team will rely on is the leadership and production from Posey in 2021.
With his contract expiring after the 2021 season, this could also be the last year in a Giants uniform for Posey. Giants fans will be hoping for a big year from Posey and he should be ready to deliver.

Bradley N Strutner says:
Nice focus on the positive. Poseyon 21!
Matthew C. says:
Well I'm definitely a buster Posey fan and I agree that his defensive abilities, especially calling a game, are masterful. I do worry about his offense of production, being away from the game as long as he has and watching his home runs dwindle, and strikeouts raise, I don't have much confidence, but I am hoping to be wrong. Dan Mori what are your thoughts on his role offensively?

Джон Браунинг (; ,  — , Систер-Бей, Висконсин) — американский пианист.

Сын музыкантов, обучался игре на фортепиано с 5 лет у своей матери, ученицы Теодора Лешетицкого. В 10 лет поступил в обучение к Розине Левиной, в том же возрасте дебютировал с Денверским симфоническим оркестром. В 1945—1950 гг. Браунинг жил и учился в Лос-Анджелесе, а затем поступил в Джульярдскую школу, вновь к Розине Левиной. Дорогу к профессиональной карьере открыла Браунингу победа в Конкурсе имени Левентритта в 1955 году, на следующий год он занял второе место на Конкурсе имени королевы Елизаветы, уступив лишь Владимиру Ашкенази. Считается, однако, что Браунинг, как и ряд других американских пианистов его поколения, был отодвинут в тень своим соучеником Ваном Клиберном, чья победа в 1958 г. на Международном конкурсе имени Чайковского в Москве стала событием, далеко выходящим за пределы музыкального мира.

Браунинг был специалистом по изящному и проникновенному исполнению произведений Доменико Скарлатти, Иоганна Себастьяна Баха, Йозефа Гайдна и Вольфганга Амадея Моцарта, а также этюдов Фридерика Шопена. Особое место в репертуаре Браунинга занимало творчество Сэмюэла Барбера. Композитор, впервые услышавший игру молодого музыканта в 1956 г. на концерте с Нью-Йоркским филармоническим оркестром под управлением Димитриса Митропулоса (награда за победу в Конкурсе Левентритта), остался под таким впечатлением, что предназначил для Браунинга свой фортепианный концерт. Спустя много лет после мировой премьеры в 1962 г. Браунинг записал это произведение с Сент-Луисским симфоническим оркестром под управлением Леонарда Слаткина, и эта запись была удостоена премии «Грэмми» (1991). В 1993 г. другую премию «Грэмми» получила осуществлённая Браунингом запись сольных фортепианных пьес Барбера, кроме того, пианист участвовал в записи диска с его вокальной музыкой. Среди других значительных записей Браунинга — все фортепианные концерты Сергея Прокофьева (с Бостонским симфоническим оркестром под управлением Эриха Ляйнсдорфа).

I am the owner of a building adjacent to the Northern Bar and Stage in downtown Fernie.. Over the course of the last two months, our tenants have had three storefront windows broken by drunken patrons fighting in the street at closing time. The most recent event was Friday, August 27th. The cost to local small businesses is huge, not to mention the broken glass, blood and vomit on the streets (perfect for the Sunday Socials). It's high time City Council cracks does on this activity. The bar owners should be held responsible for this matter and a fund established to pay for this damage. Although they claim they have no responsibility for what their patrons do after leaving the pub, they are the ones over-serving these people and profiting from the sales. The bar owners should not be allowed to continue to make a good living at the expense of other small businesses in the downtown. The City must either manage this problem through their business licensing and by-law enforcement or eliminate these pubs from the downtown. The RCMP claims they have no capacity to deal with the matter because they are under-staffed. If additional RCMP involvement is necessary, perhaps the bar owners should pay for this as well!
I urge all downtown businesses to contact City Council and demand action be taken.

Little Free Library opens in Del Mar

By Kristina Houck
Community members don't need a card to use Del Mar's new library.
Located at the south end of Stratford Court past Del Mar Woods, the Little Free Library has just one policy: Take a book, and if you can, give a book.
Installed by Del Mar resident Kate Zimmer, neighbors celebrated the grand opening of the small, two-story wooden library on April 19. Zimmer, a former high school English teacher, received the library for her birthday last year.
"I love books," said Zimmer, who has lived in Del Mar since 1996. "I would always be dropping my books off at the library once I read them. And there are certain books that are my favorite that I just keep buying copies of so I can pass them on to friends. I love passing books on, so this was a perfect gift for me and for the community."
The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 in Wisconsin. Since then the idea has spread as a way to promote literacy and community connections. At the start of this year, there were an estimated 15,000-registered Little Free Libraries in the world, according to littlefreelibrary.org.
Del Mar's first Little Free Library is packed with books — some donated by Zimmer's two young children — book recommendations and a guestbook. She encourages people to visit the library and participate even if they don't have books to donate.
"The whole thing doesn't work unless people know about it, unless people use it," Zimmer said. "I hope people take books, bring books, write recommendations and sign the guestbook. I hope that community conversation happens."
