The Padres (30-31) scored fewer runs than the Atlanta Braves (29-30), 4-1, yesterday at Turner Field.

Perez (2-0, 2.78) pitched seven innings, allowing just the one run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts. The Padres were unable to do much of anything against Perez. Cory Spangenberg's RBI double to score Ross in the fifth inning was all the offense could manage.
This morning at 9:10am PDT, Andrew Cashner (2-8, 4.05) takes the mound in the final game of the four game series at Turner Field versus Julio Teheran (4-2, 4.87).


Nuevo Peru: NewEpoch Media: VENEZUELA - Yankees go Home!
SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA AGAINST THE INTERVENTION OF YANKEE IMPERIALISM THROUGH THE ONGOING COUP D'ETAT!
US imperialism has never ceased to subject the Latin American countries to their interference, control, subversion and aggression just as Chairman Mao denounced in 1965, in his declaration against the invasion of Yankee imperialism to the Dominican Republic. On this occasion, just as we have been denouncing, the US Government, to accomplish its military intervention in Venezuela, has launched a military coup using lackeys and all kinds of mercenaries who, on Monday, have made a military mini-coup, which would be something ridiculous if it was not part of a whole plan of military intervention of Yankee imperialism, for which they have promoted the so-called president of the Legislative Assembly of Venezuela so that on January 9, before the inauguration of Maduro for his second term, the president of Venezuela would be considered illegitimate, alleging rigged elections, etc.
The assembly has proclaimed Guaidó as president and in charge of the temporary presidency of the country. The same who has called a protest march for today, January 23, 2019, all orchestrated to prepare a provocation to the regime to give pretext to a direct military intervention by the US.
Well, they are all only shameless pretexts of the maximum representatives of Yankee imperialism, Trump, Pence, etc. who has never ceased to subject the Latin American countries to its interference, control, subversion and aggression and that is the single hegemonic superpower in the world and the great counterrevolutionary gendarme that acts on its backyard along with all the reactionary governments of Latin America to suppress the struggle of the proletariat and the peoples of the oppressed nations of Latin America, to maintain the semi-colonial and semi-feudal situation, where a bureaucratic capitalism develops serving imperialism, principally Yankee, which is the principal imperialism that oppresses all our peoples.
On January 10, in order to create favorable public opinion to its intervention, there were attacks on the Venezuelan embassy in Lima carried out by troops of worms and mercenaries of the country and some charmed masses, counting on the blind eye of the fascist, genocidal and motherland seller government of Viozcarra.
Continuing with the preparations for the coup, the assembly appointed Gustavo Tarre Briceño as the country's special ambassador for the Organization of American States (OAS). As affirmed Guaidó, the decision answers to coordinate he necessary actions for the restoration of constitutional order with the OAS t.
Last Monday 20, a group of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) took a police station and seized weapons, calling to ignore the newly appointed leader, then the insurgent group surrendered and was captured after agreeing to surrender to soldiers loyal to Maduro. However, the episode reportedly gave a new reason for the intervention of the United States in Venezuelan internal politics.
Thus, Vice President Mike Pence published a video yesterday in which he describes Maduro as a dictator and leaves a message to the opposition: "While they make their voices heard tomorrow (for today), in the name of the American people we say to the good people of Venezuela: We are with you ", encourages Pence in the video. The vice president also reiterated that the opposing National Assembly (AN) is the last vestige of democracy and once again expressed its support for the leader of the legislative chamber and self-proclaimed president Juan Guaidó.
The vice-president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, denounced this as being an instigation to a coup d'etat. "Today the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, has manifested, openly calling for a coup in Venezuela. We are not going to allow them to interfere in our affairs", said Rodriguez in an speech that was broadcast on VTV state television. She added: "The fascists of Venezuela who obey the orders of Mike Pence, what Mike Pence gives them is not a recommendation, it is an order and not any order. He gives them the order to burn, he gives them the order to kill, he orders them to perpetuate acts of false positives on January 23", she told reporters. Adding that false positives, "false military officers would eventually fire on the opposition demonstration today, for what? To fulfil the orders of Mike Pence."
Their lackeys, from the Forum of Davos, as the presidents of Paraguay, Costa Rica and Ecuador demanded an urgent and joint solution to the political crisis. "I do not believe in military interventionism, but in those interventionisms in which one appeals to respect the human rights of citizens," said the president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, during a debate on Latin American affairs. "The solution is to solve it among everyone", Moreno emphasized and coincided with the rest of the countries, which have political differences with Venezuela, that the Central American country is experiencing a dramatic situation. Political differences that were radicalized with the second investiture of Maduro where, for example, Paraguay took the opportunity to break diplomatic relations.
Already last night there were protests and cacerolazos [protesting by making noise with pots] in Caracas, which ended with the death of a 16 year old teenager after he was shot. "We condemn the murder of young Alixon Pizani for gunshot wounds during a demonstration in Catia, Caracas," said the non-governmental organization Observatorio Venezolano de Conflictividad Social (OVCS).
As if reproducing what was done by the Yankees in Iraq, in San Felix, in the Bolivar state of Amazonia, demonstrators burned a statue that remembered the late President Hugo Chávez and that had been raised by the government in the middle of last year, according to the Caracas newspaper – El Nacional. Local media - which reproduced videos published by citizens on social networks - claimed that police troops repressed several of the protests by using tear gas and hydrant cars.
In previous days, the leader of the "gusana" opposition declared to The New York Times: "The Venezuelan's relationship with the State today is one of terror," Guaidó said in an interview. "When that happens, the voices and lights of the world, those messages, are even encouragement for the daily struggle and to resist and dream of democracy, with a better country."
"Several officials from other countries, particularly the United States (who wants a transitional government in Venezuela), say they see a refreshing leader of humble origins in Guaidó that contrasts with other opposition leaders in the past. those that Maduro disqualified when calling them oligarchs or extremists of the extreme right.
US Vice President Mike Pence directly addressed to Venezuelans in a video posted on January 22 on Twitter that says Maduro is "a dictator with no legitimate right to power" and says that Americans: "We are with you! We support you and will continue to support you until democracy in Venezuela is restored. "
The political opposition has taken advantage of these demonstrations of support to encourage people to go out to protest on Wednesday.
Faced with the scheduled date for the protests, the opposition leaders said they were feeling hopeful because of the crowds that have already attended rallies and town meetings, as well as some street demonstrations during this week. They believe that there can be a turning point if there are high-level defections among the military that have helped Maduro to stay in power "(The NYT, January 23, 2019, Many in Venezuela celebrate the arrival of Guaidó because it gives him a new face to the opposition, Credit Manaure Quintero / Reuters) ".
As Chairman Mao denounced, US imperialism has never ceased to subject the Latin American countries to their interference, control, subversion and aggression. On this occasion, the US Government it has abandoned all deceptive phrases such as "the policy of good neighborliness" and "the principle of non-intervention", and an aggression and intervention manifested in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is been carried out. This has shown even more the true features of the American imperialist gangsters.
The United States is carrying out the preparation of its armed intervention against the Venezuelan people under the pretext of "defending freedom". What kind of "freedom" is this? It is the freedom to use airplanes, warships and rifles to massacre the peoples of other countries. It is the freedom to seize the territory of other countries at will, the freedom to crush under their feet their sovereignty to its will. It is the freedom of the pirates to plunder and kill. It is the freedom to trample every country and every town under its heel. This is what the US imperialists are doing now in Venezuela as they are doing in the Expanded Middle East, as they have done before in the Dominican Republic, in Vietnam, in Congo (Leopoldville) and in many other places.
As Chairman Mao and Chairman Gonzalo teach us, this is forcibly posed to the Venezuelan people and to all the peoples of Latin America that, in order to safeguard national independence and national sovereignty, it is imperative to carry out a "blow after blow" fight against the aggressive Northamerican imperialism and that the proletariat needs to reconstitute its Communist Party, the heroic combatant who leads the People's War to put an end to imperialism, semi-feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism.
We tell the heroic Venezuelan people that, without a doubt, you are not alone in your struggle. You enjoy the support of all the peoples of Latin America and the world, it is up to you to engage in a powerful armed struggle to resist and combat the aggression of Yankee imperialism and all its lackeys in the country and abroad.
It is up to the Maoists to push forward a new wave against Northamerican imperialism among the peoples of Latin America and the world.
The struggle of the peoples of the world against Northameriacan imperialism will win!
Northamerican imperialism, common enemy of the peoples of the world, will fail!

NOTE: Today's cat paintings are by Ukrainian artists.
Putin's attack on Ukraine is not going as smoothly as he probably hoped. In fact he looks isolated by most of the world and is even getting negative feedback from the Russian people and from close neighbor and ally Kazakhstan.
Peter Alexander at NBC News: One of Russia's closest allies denies request for troops.
Kazakhstan, one of Russia's closest allies and a southern neighbor, is denying a request for its troops to join the offensive in Ukraine, officials said Friday.
Additionally, the former Soviet republic said it is not recognizing the Russia-created breakaway republics upheld by Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, as a pretext for its aggression in Ukraine.
Despite ceasefire accords covering the disputed land, Putin on Monday declared Russia's recognition of Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) and the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) as independent states.
The surprising development from a traditional ally of Russia has the support of the United States.
"We welcome Kazakhstan's announcement that they will not recognize the LPR and DPR," the National Security Council said in a statement. "We also welcome Kazakhstan's refusal to send its forces to join Putin's war in Ukraine."
At home in Russia, Putin is struggling to put down popular antiwar protests.
The Economist: Russians greet Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine with dismay, not enthusiasm.
As the sun set over the Kremlin on the first day of Russia's war against Ukraine, Moscow felt tense. Black cars with tinted windows, flashing lights and police escorts zipped around the city centre. Police vans pushed ordinary cars to the side of the road. It was as though Moscow itself was coming under attack.
Rimma and her cat, by Gubsky Igor
And the "attack" did come, a couple of hours later as several thousand people, mostly young, poured onto the streets holding signs condemning the war their president had unleashed against their brothers and sisters in Ukraine. They chanted, "Net voine" ("No to war"). The same words were splashed with paint on the glass doors of the Russian state Duma, the parliament that had almost unanimously supported the invasion.
The protesters' faces were crestfallen, gripped by dismay and grief. And they were met with brutality. Helmeted riot police pushed them to the ground and bundled them into vans. Gregory Yudin, a sociologist and left-wing philosopher, was beaten and taken to a police cell before finally being transferred to hospital. On February 24th some 1,700 people were arrested, half of them in Moscow. But anti-war protests also rolled through the country from Siberia to St Petersburg, where more people were detained the following day….
Journalists, artists, celebrities, rockstars and bloggers have been speaking out. "Fear and pain," wrote Ivan Urgant, a popular host on state-owned television, on his Instagram. Monetochka ("Little coin"), a pop star, published a photo of her own face, weeping, with a sign: "So ashamed!" So far there have been no resignations among senior officials, but neither has there been any enthusiasm for war. Sergei Utkin, a security expert who had previously peddled the Kremlin's line on foreign policy, wrote on Twitter, "My country is committing a horrible crime in Ukraine that can have no justification…We all bear a part of responsibility. There is no good way out of that."
A petition against the war has gathered 500,000 signatures in a single day, and is growing. Novaya Gazeta, Russia's main pro-opposition newspaper, came out in two languages, Russian and Ukrainian. Its editor, Dmitry Muratov, the most recent winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, wrote that Mr Putin "is spinning a nuclear button around his finger like some expensive car key chain…But we can never recognise Ukraine as an enemy. And never will."
In Kyiv, former comedian and now Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky is turning out to be an inspirational leader.
CNN: Zelensky refuses US offer to evacuate, saying 'I need ammunition, not a ride.'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned down an offer from the United States of evacuation from the capital city Kyiv, the Ukraine embassy in Britain said Saturday on Twitter.
"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride," Zelensky told the US, according to the embassy.
"Ukrainians are proud of their President," the tweet adds.
Cat in the Strawberry, dedicated to Mariia Pryimachenko, by Olesya Kaznokh
In a video posted on Saturday morning entitled "do not believe the fakes," Zelensky revealed that he is still in Kyiv.
"I am here. We are not putting down arms. We will be defending our country, because our weapon is truth, and our truth is that this is our land, our country, our children, and we will defend all of this," he said.
"That is it. That's all I wanted to tell you. Glory to Ukraine," he added….
"According to our information, the enemy marked me as target №1, my family – as target №2," Zelensky said Thursday.
"They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. We have information that enemy sabotage groups have entered Kyiv."
"Do not believe fake news… I am here, we are not laying down our arms, we will defend our state, our truth, our land, our children, all of this we will defend, this is what I wanted to tell you." @ZelenskyyUa #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack #UkraineWar https://t.co/wsUI1WNwtP

Jeff Stein at Spy Talk: Zelensky Prepares to Go Down with the Ship.
An American businessman with close ties to Volodymyr Zelensky says the Ukrainian president was "calm and businesslike" when they talked yesterday, even as Russian troops pressed on toward Kyiv and the volume of rocket attacks on the capital soared.
"He seemed reluctant to leave the country," said the businessman, who has extensive projects in the country and asked not to be identified because of the fraught security situation.
"U.S. officials were urging him to leave. He feared he'd never be able to come back."
Zelensky's position hardened Friday when he posted a defiant video in which he said he and his government were "defending our independence" from the Russian invasion.
"We are all here," he said, surrounded by senior advisers and his prime minister.
"Our troops are here, citizens are here. All of us are here protecting the independence of our country.
"And it will continue to be this way."
On Thursday evening he told European Union leaders "this might be the last time you see me alive," according to Axios.
Reports on the progress of Putin's attack:
The New York Times: Russia's Assault in Ukraine Slows After an Aggressive Start.
The Fat Cat, by Olena Kamenetska-Ostapchuk
On the first day of President Vladimir V. Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his generals and troops followed a textbook strategy for land invasions. They attacked the country's military installations and air defense systems with missiles launched from the air, sea and land, seeking to take ownership of the skies, and sped forces to Kyiv, the capital, with the goal of decapitating the government of the democratically elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
But then, things slowed. It is one thing to cross the border of another country with tanks and artillery, protected by warplanes above, Pentagon officials and analysts say. It is another thing entirely to lay siege to cities and an army populated by people willing to put their lives on the line to protect what they view as their sovereign right to self-determination.
Within a day of entering Ukraine, Russian forces lost some momentum, senior American and British officials said, as Ukrainian fighters mounted a resistance. No population centers had been taken, a senior Defense Department official told reporters at the Pentagon on Friday. Nor had Russia yet managed to achieve air superiority over Ukraine, partly because the Ukrainians are using mobile systems and partly because Russian missiles have hit old air defense sites, which could show a flaw in Russia's intelligence. The Ukrainian air defense and missile defense systems were degraded, he said, but the country's air force was still flying planes and denying air access to Russia.
In addition, officials said, Russia was conducting most of its initial operations during the day, suggesting that its ability to fight at night — a hallmark of the American military — was less effective.
Read the rest at the NYT.
From CNN this morning: Battle moves into Kyiv as Ukrainians fight to keep control of their capital.
Ukrainian troops held the capital Kyiv for the third day on Saturday, despite Russia's stronger military power, after a night of fierce fighting that punctuated the city with sounds of explosions and gunfire.
The country's President Volodymyr Zelensky remained defiant. Despite being a prime target in the invasion, he turned down a US offer of evacuation, the Ukraine embassy in Britain said Saturday on Twitter….
But as Russia's war of aggression moves to the streets of the Ukrainian capital, with the country's outnumbered and outgunned military continuing to hold back the invading forces in multiple locations, more reports are emerging of civilian infrastructure being hit.
Ukrainian folk art, artist unknown
Early Saturday, a large residential apartment block in the west of Kyiv was struck by a missile or rocket, as residents across the city were forced to seek shelter after a terrifying night of fighting.
Images and video from the scene showed a large impact some ten floors up in the building, with the cause of the strike unclear and the extent of casualties unknown. Several apartment units were blown out entirely, their outer walls and windows missing, leaving a gaping hole visible in the building's side, as residents were evacuated.
"Active fighting is taking place on the streets of our city. Please stay calm and be as careful as possible!" the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said on its Facebook page Saturday, calling on residents to "hide indoors" and take cover to prevent injury from bullet fragments.
The resistance to Russia's invasion has seen civilians prepare to defend their capital in recent days, with officials arming reservists with 18,000 guns and ammunition in Kyiv alone and Ukrainian TV broadcasting instructions for making Molotov cocktails.
Ukrainian troops are fighting against a significantly more advanced military power. Russian defense spending is roughly ten times that of Kyiv's and its armed forces stand at some 900,000 active personnel and 2 million in reserve, versus Ukraine's 196,000 and 900,000 reservists.
Britain's Ministry of Defense said Russia has yet to gain control of Ukrainian airspace "greatly reducing the effectiveness of the Russian Air Force." Russia has also faced "staunch resistance" from Ukrainian Armed Forces, it said in a Saturday intelligence update shared on Twitter.
But it stressed that the bulk of Russian forces are now only 18.6 miles from the center of Kyiv, warning that casualties are "likely to be heavy and greater than anticipated or acknowledged by the Kremlin."

HuffPost: GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks At White Nationalist Conference
ORLANDO, Fla. — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) spoke at a white nationalist conference in Florida on Friday evening.
Greene, a QAnon conspiracist and rabidly anti-trans Republican, was the surprise speaker at the third annual America First Political Action Conference in Orlando, organized by white nationalist figurehead Nick Fuentes.
Fuentes, an antisemite and racist who attended the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and who was recently subpoenaed for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, excitedly introduced Greene as the featured speaker from behind a lectern inside the Marriott Orlando World Center, according to a livestream of the event. (HuffPost was denied entrance to AFPAC.)
In her speech, Greene referred to the assembled AFPAC crowd — among them prominent right-wing extremists who have been photographed giving the Nazi salute and reciting the infamous "14 words," a white supremacist slogan — as "canceled Americans."
"You've been handed the responsibility to fight for our Constitution and stand for our freedoms, and stop the Democrats who are the communist party of the United States of America," Greene said.
Nick Fuentes– "the US government has become the Great Satan that many have called it", borrowing a phrase from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini. He then suggests that comparing Vladimir Putin to Hitler is "a good thing", before nervously laughing "I shouldn't have said that" pic.twitter.com/Ub0EbFTWIb

CNN: Georgia GOP chair tells January 6 committee that Trump campaign directed alternate elector effort
The chairman of the Republican Party in Georgia on Friday told the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot that the Trump campaign had directed the party in 2020 to put forward an alternate slate of electors after then-President Donald Trump lost the state's vote, according to a person familiar with the testimony.
The Trump campaign's direct involvement in efforts to put forward so-called "fake" slates of electors in multiple states after Biden's win was previously reported by CNN, but it was not yet known if anyone involved had spoken about the campaign's directions to investigators.
The fake electors effort is now seen by the committee as a political disinformation tactic used to sow doubt in Joe Biden's win before the January 6, 2021, Electoral College vote certification in Washington. CNN previously reported that Trump outside lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the Trump campaign had been involved in organizing illegitimate elector slates in seven states.
David Shafer, chair of the GOP in Georgia, served as one of several bogus electors for Trump and had convened Republicans in the state's Capitol to put together an alternate elector certification in December 2020. He also was a plaintiff in a long-shot legal attempt for Trump to overturn the election in Georgia.

Thanks to President. Biden, who has rebuilt our relationship with other NATO members. Had President Trump been re-elected, this would have been a very different matter.

I checkout your blog regularly and always find some interesting stuff posted. Always fun to share the ideas there with colleagues. You may find our library's current blogging project of interest. We've put up a heavily promoted, limited life blog as the academic year ends to gather ideas about what the library should be doing differently. There is a short video at the top that explains to users what the intent is.
The Libraries want to hear from you. Be part of the discussion!
I love the social nature of our library. There are a lot of comments about having a quieter library, but I think there should just be some quieter areas if anything.I've never been in such a friendly library, and I like there are a lot of different people who hang out there. I think a cafe could make it even homier.
I agree with many of the other comments, and think the library is turning into into a badly marketed, noisy computer lab. I want a nice quiet place to study that I actually enjoy being in. I would like more comfotable seating such as more couches (not the old nasty orange ones), larger and more desks to study at, and most importantly a quiet area to study in. There are already plenty of computer labs on campus, we don't need to turn the library into one, nor do I want concerts in the library. I would like a place to read quietly. I like the idea of getting the reading room back, and keeping the skybridge and group study rooms for the noisy areas.
I applaud WWU for soliciting this feedback. From just spending a few minutes reading responses, I can see that a blending of quiet/no talking spaces, technology commons spaces, and comfortable, relaxation spaces may be included as the library moves forward. Frank, please let us know how the 14 Days goes. Academic library folk, explore these ideas as well for insight into what your students might want.


On iPad, LR does not display some previews despite having them stored locally and being able to edit them.
That seems unexpected. If you go to your Adobe account at http://lightroom.adobe.com and view the same album there, do you see previews in the web browser?
In web, everything is fine.
I found how to "solve" the bug: disable local storage (in every album!), clear cache and the, download again.
The problem has not returned?
I've seen it again another time, re-synced and now it -seems- to be ok.
At least one thing: it does not seem to be relate to particular pictures, it looks rather random. And it is not related to the proxy's in the cloud, it is an app (iPad) related bug.
Not this picture was not imported on iPad but synced from LR Calssic.
Could you take the problematic images in Lightroom CC for Web and drop them all into an Album labeled "Lightroom Test Album" and let me know when done? That will allow our team to do some additional research and hopefully isolate the data better.
Antoine, the team has made a fix on their end, can you try it now?
There was a server-side issue that has been corrected.
Thanks for the fix but I can't help feeling a little mad. Four months for fixing a server bug makes me -again- feel LR is still in a beta phase.
So what is the solution to the original problem?
I'm getting the original issue of the photos not showing up in the first place on Android and I don't believe "disabling local storage" is an option in Android and clearing cache all on it's own has done nothing.
Expect I'm still having the issue. So it's not corrected on my end. Like is it an individual thing for each person? My issue didn't start until like a week ago.
I can do that but the problematic images don't stay the same. 99% of the images are gray but the ones that aren't change.
Like it will always show the top few rows folders of previews but only the photos in the top of the folders. So when I add more photos I can see the new ones but not the old ones.
Also I can get all the previews to show when I search for 5 star image but that seems to be because I have about 25 of them. This doesn't work for 4-1 star images.
Sorry for using so many pictures I feel like I'm not always the best with words.
I can still add photos to an album but I'm not sure which photos I should consider problematic and what ones I shouldn't.
Now try to open an image having blank thumbnail and wait for 60-90 seconds.
Reopen settings panel and tap on "Send Feedback" button at the end.
Within few seconds the sharing sheet will open, send across the logs.
Where do I upload that file to? It is not allowing me to upload it here and these are my sharing options.
Please share it with Gmail.


Design a game with a time travel mechanic.
From some of civilization's earliest myths to modern sci-fi epics, time travel has been a popular art motif throughout the history of mankind. Video games are no exception, with the popular Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and the 2008 indie hit Braid being among the many games that utilize time travel mechanics to both tell a story and provide a unique gameplay challenge.
For Game Career Guide's latest Game Design Challenge, your job is to design a game centered around a time travel mechanic.
Time travel presents many opportunities for creativity, so feel free to explore any gameplay genre you wish in your entry. Some sample ideas include a hidden object game where players travel in time to discover rare goods before other treasure hunters do, a squad-based sci-fi shooter in which you can pick up artifacts to rewind time during each match, or a point-and-click mystery game where players travel through different eras to foil crimes. Make sure that your entry explains what kind of challenges players can expect to face when using your time travel mechanic, and have fun!
Work on your ideas, figure out your strategy for coming up with a solution, and ask questions on the forums. When your submission is complete, send it to [email protected] with the subject line "Game Design Challenge: Just In Time." Please type your answer directly in the email body -- do not submit .pdf or Word documents.
Entries must be submitted by Wednesday, November 21.
Results will be posted Tuesday, November 27.


Taiwan is a very important market to Facebook and the relocation reflects the company's confidence in the future of the local market by laying down a marker for its long-term development in Taiwan, said Dan Neary, Asia-Pacific president at the California-based social media and networking service company.
He said Facebook will continue to invest in Taiwan and looks forward to helping develop the many opportunities available to Taiwan as it seeks to connect to the rest of the world.
Speaking on the same occasion, Vice Premier Chen Chi-mai said he was happy that Facebook had delivered on its promise to expand investment in Taiwan and help upgrade the development of Taiwan's digital economy.
"We hope Facebook will pour more resources into Taiwan and help create more opportunities for local industry as part of the country's efforts to transform its digital economy," he said.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) will team up with Facebook to promote digital marketing, artificial intelligence, and AR/VR, Chen said.
Since 2015, when Facebook established its first office in Taiwan, the company has seen its workforce gradually increase and achieved much by cooperating with Taiwan's government, industry, and social media platforms, MOEA said.
In September last year, MOEA and Facebook launched the "Made by Taiwan – Loved by the World" program.
The program consisted of nine projects and promoted social media, enterprise, and technology talent, with the aim of helping Taiwan enterprises be more international and cultivate more digital talent.
Earlier Thursday, President Tsai Ing-wen said on her Facebook page that she paid a visit to Facebook's new headquarters Wednesday and was delighted to see the passion of its Taiwanese staff.
"Taiwan has the best talent and we are every bit as good as other countries as evidenced by the role Taiwan played in producing the recent image of a black hole and in the development of Facebook," she said.
"It is my mission and that of my administration to build a sound environment where Taiwan's youth are willing to stay and develop their strengths," Tsai stressed.


The Akashic records simply is a way to describe the universal ability of anyone directly accessing any information that ever was, is or ever will be, which is just as truly infinitely infinite as and equivalent to the sum totality of existence.
– There is nothing special about anyone or anything.
– You are not really a separate being.
To help you acknowledge this, you can recognize that anything you ever experienced always occurred within the exact same consciousness as you are in now, thus all boundaries as to what you can know and be are self-imposed, not permanent and really only what you choose to keep.
It might help to also note that there is no permanent locality of information within reality. Where is a thought? Where is a letter?
The same goes for awareness/consciousness.
On a tangent funny note, you actually use the Akashic records to get the answer to what it is, since any way you did it, you used it. It is existence itself, as a self-referencing paradox!

Q: Laravel 5.3 Broadcast using Laravel Echo via Pusher using Models Creating, Saving Etc events Is there a way to implement this
as documented in this link Event of Models
How can i extend those events to fire broadcast pusher data, rather than making separate events for the model

A: You could do it a number of ways.  If you want to catch ALL model events you can register a wildcard listener.  In your App\Providers\EventServiceProvider in the boot method register the wildcard listener:
public function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    Event::listen('eloquent.*', function (array $data) {
        broadcast(new YourModelEventListener($data));
    });
}

Or if you want to keep the logic separate for each model you could create a class observer catch all the events and send to your broadcast handler.
Register the observer
class MyModel extends Model
{
    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        static::observe(new MyModelObserver);
    }
}

Then in the observer:
class MyModelObserver
{
    public function broadcast($method, $model)
    {
        broadcast(new YourModelEventListener($method, $model));
    }

    public function creating($model)
    {
        $this->broadcast('creating', $model);
    }

    public function updating($model)
    {
        $this->broadcast('updating', $model);
    }
}

A: public MyBroadCastEvent implements ShouldBroadcast {
     public function broadcastOn() {
          return ['test'];
     }
}

public MyBroadCastEventListener {
     public function handle(MyBroadCastEvent $event) {
          // should i remove that type hint?
          // then do something here
     }
}

then call this?
broadcast(new MyBroadCastEventListener($data)); ?

After a few weeks off, we're back in the saddle on the mixtape front and it's left to our man in Belgrade, Spacewalker Milic to drop a tasty selection to get us off and running. Milic is the host of the long running Balanso show on Serbia's B92 radio station (weekly Mondays 22:00-0:00 CET) and here he delves into his record vaults to share with us some of his current favourites on a jazz tip. We delve right in with a little Jon Hendricks cover of the Brazilian classic 'Reza', before continuing the South American theme with Clark Terry and Chico O'Farill's take on 'Tin Tin Deo'. Next up, there's big band jazz from St Tropez Jazz Octett and a Jazz Meet fave in the form of Ahmad Jamal's 'Bogota', before we head deeper into his collection to unearth Arthur Lyman, Oliver Nelson, Serge Gainsbourg and some Hungarian jazz from singer Toldi Mária. Check the tasty version of 'In The Name of Love' by Paula Wayne and the seldom seen Don Rendell piece 'Euphrates'. Quality. We hope you enjoy!

Woman's success story symbolizes Community HousingWorks vision
CHW celebrates 2016 milestones at annual DreamBuilder fundraise
SAN DIEGO (Oct. 27, 2016) – An immigrant and resident of a Community HousingWorks (CHW) community in San Diego's Southcrest neighborhood took the spotlight and inspired the audience with her story at CHW's annual DreamBuilder fundraiser last week at the Central Library.
Karen Sanchez, who was 13 years old when her family moved into CHW's Las Serenas community, spoke about how the resources CHW provided helped her realize her dream of going to college and giving back to the community.
"My family moved here without anything, and despite working very hard, they were not able to give me much financial support," Sanchez said. "Under those circumstances, I saw college as out of my reach."

Last week, team spokesman Fred Maas, advocating for a new $1.8 billion downtown stadium, advised voters in a Voice of San Diego commentary, "Whatever you do, do not let the small town undertakers send the Chargers packing and deny this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a multi-use convention center and stadium."

Only One of the Big Local Tax Measures on Your Ballot Is Worth Supporting
By Haney Hong and Megan Couch
When you look at the November ballot, you will see several proposed tax increases – 17 local tax proposals throughout the county. Some are worth voting for because they are sound, smart proposals that will raise much-needed revenue for important services, including schools and infrastructure. Others, however, are risky proposals that would threaten funding for public safety, street repairs and other important services, and would leave you and your children on the hook for decades.

Q: How to tell if an internet video is flash or html5 (or something else if there is such thing)? I have some problems with Opera and Chromium browsers playing some streams and I want to debug that. But I cannot tell what works and what does not because I cannot tell what format a given stream is using. IS there a way to identify that in some if not all cases?

I am not referring necessarily to youtube, I think they use html5 video only. I remember that when it used flash, flashplayer options where available on right click. And youtube still gives a lot of info on the stream on right-click ("Stats for nerds"). But on many streams there isn't any such info. Is that absence the sign that the stream is not flash?
I am interested to know about the video stream format no matter if the right-click menu gives any info or not.
Also, I would like to know if there are alternatives to flash and html5 streaming and how to recognize those. Also, I see that some addons can capture/download online videos and then their "format" is accessible: mp4, webm, 3gp, mov, etc (or should I say "extension"?). Does that say something about the "format" of the streaming itself? (I mean on youtube there seem to be a diversity of extensions for one stream (mp4, webm, 3gp), I think depending on its size/resolution: are they all html5?)

I want to know when "flash" is involved and when not, when there is "html5", when other formats/plugins are involved (if ever) and what's the relation between these terms and the extension(s) of the files that can be physically captured.

A: a flash video player usually uses an html tag that looks like so:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

and an HTML5 video uses the <video> tag
so either right click next to the video and "inspect" this place in the site and look for the object that stores the video and see how it is built or "view source" the page and do a search for flash,swf to indicate flash  and video tag to indicate html5
there is another (not quite as popular) option for streaming video which is a java applet, finding the applet through the source code is usually a little more tricky but it will use none of the above keywords and the source will probably contain some <link> tags to a jar file
another method without digging in the code is to use some "no-script" style plugins to your browser that lets you disable flash and java momentarily (instead of uninstalling them) to see if it disables the video in the site.

Y.M.K.A
Y.M.K.A is an experimental duo of drums & electronics, that wander the realms of psychedelic rock, afro groove, free improvisation, noise and industrial music. The groove of the drums gradually develops with the textures and sounds of the modular synthesizer, which in turn relies on the drums' rhythms.
Their sound ranges from a heavy analog synthesis of sound waves, granular textures mixed with a widespread use of recordings that break down spoken texts into basic sound components, and the rhythmic elements of which language is composed.
Y.M.K.A.'s compositions are constructed using abstract textures to build complex and sweeping rhythms that disintegrate back into sound clouds.
Y.M.K.A. started their way in 2017 and have since taken part in the electro-acoustic scene, the party scene and performed at various festivals.

Q: What rule has been used in this integration of the product of a time derivative and function? What rule has been used to get the following equation:
$$\int_0^T {\left( {{{\dot a}_t}{e^{ - \int_0^t {({r_\tau } - n)d\tau } }}} \right)dt}  = \int_0^T {\left( {{a_t}{e^{ - \int_0^t {({r_\tau } - n)d\tau } }}} \right)dt}  - \int_0^T {\left( {{a_t}\left( {{d \over {dt}}{e^{ - \int_0^t {({r_\tau } - n)d\tau } }}} \right)} \right)dt} $$
Simplified a bit, I guess the more general form looks like:
$$\int_0^T {\left( {{{\dot a}_t}{g_t}} \right)dt}  = \int_0^T {\left( {{a_t}{g_t}} \right)dt}  - \int_0^T {\left( {{a_t}{{\dot g}_t}} \right)dt} $$
Where
$$\matrix{  { {\dot a_t} = {da_t \over {dt}} = {da(t) \over {dt}}, } & { {\dot g_t} = {dg_t \over {dt}} = {dg(t) \over {dt}} }  \cr } $$

A: This is called ''integration by parts'' and the correct form would be:
\begin{gather}
\int_0^T \left[\frac{d}{dt}a(t)\right] g(t) dt =  a(t)g(t)\bigg|_0^T - \int_0^T a(t)\left[\frac{d}{dt} g(t)\right] dt.
\end{gather}
You can derive it by using the product rule backwards, i.e.
$$\frac{d}{dx} (u(x)v(x)) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x).$$

All about walking
Probably the most well known quote regarding walking in the last fifty years and the key reason why we chose the 20 July 2019, that marked the 50th anniversary of the first Moon Walk, as the perfect day to run a creative writing walkshop with writing tutor and Museum Co-creator Rebekah Lattin-Rawstrone, to complement our flash story competition in which we asked people to write a story in 50 words or under. That's no mean feat! We had more than 50
entries and finally settled on 17 marvellous stories which we brought together in our second anthology of the year, aptly title 'One Small Step' and brilliantly illustrated by Alban Low.
We have created an on-line bookshop and are not only planning to publish and sell flash anthologies but boldly look to create books and chapbooks of many of our popular and successful walks and walkshops. We are also inviting other publishers of walking titles to sell their books through the Museum of Walking bookshop. However, we are realistic in our plans as we recognise it is word of mouth and experiences that sell not only our events but also books, so next week we are holding our inaugural Flash Story Showcase that we hope to run at least twice a year, to which you can come and listen to authors reading their work and purchases their books.
However, back to 'One Small Step' and how those three words and the first Moon Walk inspired our winning authors:
Sylvia Petter – an Australian living in Austria is the author of 'The Man in the Moon'
"The Moon Walk inspired my flash because 1969 was the year I left Australia to study translation at the University of Vienna where my American-English professor did the simultaneous interpretation of the event for Austrian TV. I use the event in my forthcoming novel, All the Beautiful Liars."
Phoebe Demeger – a bookseller in south London wrote not one but two winning stories: 'Earth rise' and 'We choose to do these things'
"A single step may be small, yet in that step is encapsulated a whole history and imagined future of human achievement. Much like the flash fiction form itself, which has the power to bring to mind thoughts, sensations and events far beyond the boundaries of the page. I was inspired by this snapshot approach to history, drawing in other such instances and 'firsts' from the space race, including the infamous 'Earthrise' photograph taken in 1968 and John F. Kennedy's stirring 1962 speech, and remarking on how these small moments reverberate across the earth."
Andrew Anderson – a Scottish civil servant is the author of 'SPACEmail'
"I have been playing around with the idea of giving celestial bodies such as planets and stars a voice, and imagined how the moon would have felt about the moon landing."
Carrie Dunne – a retired teacher from Hertfordshire, author of 'Gravity'
"I'm old enough to remember watching the Apollo 11 mission on a black and white TV way back in 1969. It started my passion for science. For the competition, rather than write directly about the Moon Walk, I wanted to write something that was a little different, but importantly included science. As I write family stories on vss365, I chose to combine an everyday scenario with key scientific ideas. Another influence on my story was the confusion I have encountered so often in understanding the difference between 'mass' and 'weight'; important when comparing walking on the Earth and on the Moon. I, therefore, decided to write the story using the confused language and ideas associated with dieting and losing weight, and hopefully inject a bit of comedy."
Roz Mascall – holds a Masters in Creative writing for Therapeutic Purposes, and is the author of 'Don't tell NASA'
"I've often thought that things look a little bleak on the moon. It was fun to conjure up a souvenir for the astronauts to smuggle home to Earth."
Nora Nadjarian – an award-winning Cypriot poet and writer, author of 'Man, Woman, Moon'
"I wanted to give the moon landing story a feminist twist. By refocusing the story with the few words at my disposal, I think I touched on the slightly disturbing aspects of the Apollo 11 narrative: the imperialism, the hubris, the chauvinism."
Gordon Duncan – a crime fiction reviewer, author of 'In isolation'
Photo credit: Wiki Commons
"I was five years old and in my first year of Primary School when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. It was obviously a time of great excitement and I still remember it. When I was watching a documentary about Apollo 11 I was struck by the image of President Nixon waving to the returned astronauts in their isolation chamber. Here they were, having performed this incredible feat but locked away whilst the rest of the world celebrated. I then tried to imagine what it would've been like for a child to watch the landing and moon walk and then be isolated at home, unable to talk about what they'd seen with the rest of their classmates. They would've been distraught."
Helen Ottaway – a sound artist from Frome, author of 'Mankind Dreaming'
"The idea of walking on the moon is outside my sphere of understanding. The thought of a man on the moon feels somewhere between nursery rhyme and dream. Physically too the astronauts floated in the moons atmosphere and had to be weighed down with heavy boots so they didn't drift away. I was inspired by these ideas of floating and dreaming as well as by perceptions of distance and scale particularly in relation to how the earth looks from space. The mission was a feat of precision engineering and planning and so I chose a visual pattern, almost a grid, for my words. As a homage to composer, writer, artist and thinker John Cage I chose to arrange the words as an acrostic poem – a form he used and developed in his writings."
Ned Carter Miles – a radio producer and critic, author of '96 bags'
"I've had in my head for a while—I can't remember where from—this fact about the 96 bags, and it's interesting in a lot of ways: the bacteria the astronauts left behind in those bags were, in a sense, the first extraterrestrial settlement (…from colon to colony…). It also speaks to how we treat our environment(s). But I think I was most interested in the idea that we're able to build these shiny spacecraft and travel to other worlds, but we can't escape or change some of the vulgar fundamentals. I think that says a lot." Just what has been left behind on the Moon?
Diane Woodrow – a dog walker in North Wales, author of 'A bungalow in Dorset Monday 21st July 1969'
"I have been writing a lot of memoir pieces at the moment and the time of the Moon Walk was when I had reached an age to realise my parent's marriage was not a happy one. They spent the next 10 years, from Neil Armstrong's big moment until 1979 moving further and further apart until my Mum left just after my 18th birthday. This flash fiction piece comes from a much longer piece but contains the essence of that day for me."
Andrew Lavender – works in the space industry in Plymouth, author of 'Legend of the Moon Walk'
"As I was born around the time of the first moon landing I grew up associating the event with new beginnings and I wanted to explore this context together with truths and myths surrounding when, or even if, things have happened."
Laura Besley – writes when her young children are asleep, author of 'One Wrong Step'
"The inspiration behind One Wrong Step is the thought that, at the time of the moon landing, most people wouldn't have had a television. Therefore, in order to watch the moon landing, living rooms would have been crammed full of people, which in turn would lead to the perfect opportunity to do something stealthy."
Jason Jawando – writes fiction and drama, and is the author of 'First'
"There are lots of conspiracy theories about the 1969 moon landing, and while the truth is
undoubtedly a feat of human endeavour, the theories often seem more dramatic. I wondered if there was another, far more mundane, story.
Kate Kirby – an editor of non fiction illustrated books, author of 'Isn't he walking yet?'
"The Moon Walk is the greatest human achievement ever. I was inspired thinking about the tiny, insignificant, everyday domestic dramas being played out across the globe, while something so momentous is going on in the universe, thousands of miles away."
Bart van Goethem – is a copywriter and drummer, author of 'Moon Tours'
"I was reading a bit to get inspired, to get past the first ideas I had, and I read Armstrong's footprint is currently still there, because there is no wind on the moon. It can't be blown away. Not something I would have spontaneoulsy thought about. Suddenly I had an angle: how would aliens/future species look at the footprint long after mankind has disappeared? This made it possible to make a link with our current situation and the whole eco-debate. Convenient!"
Mel Davies – author of 'Lot 69' this is her first published work
"My piece was inspired by looking at all the different ways the man on the moon has been used to describe place. A pub is so British and I find it a funny and quirky to name a place of drinking The Man on the Moon. Haven't we all had one too many and looked up at the sky and the big galaxy and stars and constellations and imagined seeing the man looking down!"
And finally, we would like to thank Museum Co-creator Nigel Bristow, who along with Rebekah Lattin Rawstrone are the competition judges and editors.
It is not too late to submittal entry to our current flash story competition – just 250 words or
under with a story inspired by Autumn Colours. Details here.
