Terry Campus Opens On-Site Food Pantry
The College's Terry Campus in Dover, in partnership with the Harry K Foundation and the Food Bank of Delaware, has established an on-campus food pantry. The pantry opened April 15, 2019 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The no-cost pantry will be made available to current Terry Campus students or individuals who have a child enrolled at the campus Child Development Center. Through the program, food insecure individuals will be able to access emergency food and hygiene products. The Food Bank of Delaware, campus food drives, and community donations will keep the pantry stocked.
Delaware Tech now has established food pantries on three of its four campus locations and started the process following a college-wide survey where 43 percent of individuals who responded stated they had low or very low food security.
"The generosity and leadership of the Harry K Foundation and the Food Bank of Delaware made it possible to create a food pantry on this campus," said Cornelia Johnson, College vice president and director of the Terry Campus. "I am proud of what we are partnering to accomplish to make a difference in the lives of our students and their families."
Stephanie Manning-Roash, executive director of the Harry K Foundation, and Larry Haas, chief development officer for the Food Bank of Delaware, expressed similar sentiments during their comments at the opening celebration.
"Our foundation president, Harry Keswani, is committed to making sure students basic food needs are met, so we are partnering with the Food Bank of Delaware to offer school-based food pantries throughout the state," said Manning-Roash. "We are happy to be a part of helping students meet their basic food needs while they are in college and supporting them to complete their education."
Haas said, "These events are near and dear to our hearts, because it is all about getting food to the people who need it most and giving students the best chance for success."

Our most basic public health protections are under attack. At the same time our ability to provide input into the decision-making process has been whittled away. These actions are especially dire for communities of color, low-income communities, and indigenous communities, who already face disproportionate impacts from pollution, sagging infrastructure, and climate change. While United States Congressional Members of color and green organizations are stepping up to protect our communities, there is more work to be done to reverse historic wrongs and current actions being taken by the current Administration.
In episode six of Think 100%, we sit down with United States Senator Cory Booker to dig into the challenges and solutions. Also joining us are leaders from Green Peace USA, an organization at the front-lines of the biggest fights to free us from fossil fuels that are causing climate change. The League of Conservation Voters will also be dropping by to let us know just how well Members of Congress are doing to protect our communities and planet. You don't want to miss this episode.

Bird Sounds – The Engineers of Alma
2014 albums, Foofer, FooferFriday
Moofer Monday – To Destroy A City – 'Sunless'
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I've been hearing a lot more electronica influences after Mogwai released "Rave Tapes". Sleepmakeswaves' "Love of Cartography" comes first to mind, but there are many others I heard while mucking about in newly submitted singles and albums on bandcamp. Some of them didn't really make the electronic sounds feel at home with the other instruments, while others just didn't really use them outside of their quieter passages, which is only using half of its potential, in my opinion. But there are others still who seem to have a firm grasp on what the electronic instruments are capable of, and utilize them effeciently. To Destroy A City is a prime example of these bands.
To Destroy A City's second album in nearly four years, 'Sunless' reminds me of older 65daysofstatic music, with its glitchy backgrounds, haunting ambient guitars and drums, both digital and tangible. Also like 65daysofstatic, it never gets me pumped up, it always leaves me feeling serene and calm. Even when it's thrashing and violent, it never tempts me to press down on the gas when I'm driving. I've actually stopped listening to 'Sunless' in the car because I end up driving too slowly. It's just that calming.
Once I stopped listening to 'Sunless' in my car, and gave it a listen on a proper sound system, I discovered something alarming: The low end is surprisingly bare. The balancing between highs and lows is disturbingly, well, unbalanced. The only way I could tell there was any bass at all was when I had my fingers inside my subwoofer. A major disappointment concerning the production of this album. Even in a trio the bass can maintain a solid presence, and this particular trio failed.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy this album immensely when I'm not listening with a critical ear. I find myself humming tunes from 'Sunless' and and I nod my head just as enthusiastically during the album, but I can't take this album too seriously, or I end up disappointed with it.
To be honest, I can't see myself listening to this very often, if at all. It's missing a crucial part of any piece of music (except pieces like solo violin and the like) and I can't get over it. I can sometimes ignore it, but I'll never truly forget about it. But if you find yourself enjoying it, by all means enjoy it. Don't let my inability to ignore flaws get in the way of your happiness. If you buy the physical album, be quick to grab the coloured vinyl. I mean, just look at those discs.
This album will be out Tuesday, November 18th via n5MD records.
Foofer Friday: set & setting – A Vivid Memory
For the past two years, I've latched onto Set and Setting's debut LP 'Equanimity' and never let go. To me, it's the perfect album. It remains at that status in my head, and I'm sure it'll stay that way for a very long time. It's cinematic without being overly pretentious, and it's technical without being inaccessible. It's beautiful without being too fluffy, and it's aggressive without being too violent for post-rock. It's the perfect middle for so many things, it's almost impossible to list the reasons why I love it.
When I saw that Set and Setting were teasing pictures on facebook about their second studio release, I could hardly contain my excitement. I was so excited, in fact, that my love for Set and Setting spread among my family, and it's widely regarded as one of the best albums ever in my household. Words could not express my pain when I found out I'd be out of town for their one and only stop in my neck of the woods. "A Vivid Memory" was supposed to be perfection part 2, and when I finally downloaded the promotional copies for reviewers, it was like a dream come true.
The albums starts out with beautiful synth tones floating atop guitar chords. So pretty. The second guitar came in with its freely flying e-bow tones, and I was thinking of what I loved so much about Equanimity, like they were reminding me of who they were. Inevitably, they went into their blast beats and blazing guitars. The room was shaking and the air was pulsing with its sounds, and I knew that this was going to be something I would never forget.
As the pieces progressed from one to the next, I began to think things like 'This isn't as calm as before' and 'What happened to the theatrics, and field recordings?' I realized the album had practically switched genres from post-rock to post-metal. It was heavier, it was far more aggressive, and a minor tonality had overcome their sound with undeniable intensity. It'd lost half of what made me fall in love with them in the first place. I figured that they felt a need to be louder, to compensate for the lack of orchestral music. They had retained their dramatic tendencies without the miniature orchestra in their 2012 Tour EP, but every band needs to make their own progressions, I guess.
When 'Emptiness' had started, my guesses were confirmed and my questions were answered. Is this going to be perfection part 2? Will I be able to enjoy this for as long as I've enjoyed their other works? Is my excitement validated?
"A Vivid Memory" simply couldn't be as good as "Equanimity" and it most certainly couldn't be better. I was left with the conclusion that this album is worse. The acoustic chord progression sounds almost identical to the acoustic parts of "Equanimity", and it was in the same key as all of the previous songs in "A Vivid Memory". Two very big mistakes occurring simultaneously.
To say that the album continues in a similar manner for the remainder of the album would be an understatement. In continues in EXACTLY the same manner. The exact same key. Even Doom metal doesn't drag on like this heap of disappointment does. And I actually like a fair bit of Doom. This is just… sad.
When I wrote my review for Echoes and Dust, you could say I was a bit overwhelmed at how conflicted I was. At times I found myself stewing over the flaws, and getting frustrated about every little thing they did. Other times I felt I was enjoying it out of desperation; I'd tire of listening to Equanimity five times in a row, and would look for something else. I just listened to A Vivid Memory because was Set and Setting music that wasn't Equanimity. Let me tell you, it's the worst way to enjoy an album. It's not even like going back to the fridge a hundred times over, and coming out with no more food than when you started. It's like coming back with food you said you'd throw out the day before.
This may a bit harsh, but I can't help but feel upset when I listen to this 'Best of Equanimity' trash, like they took a third of what I liked about Equanimity, and fluffed it up into a full album. And what's worse is the attention it's getting. It's as if no one notices that it's all in the same key for the whole album. Even conceptual albums that flow from beginning to end have more variation than this.
Just before the album was released, I asked Set and Setting, via Twitter, what set this album apart from their earlier work, and their succinct reply was "Heavier."
While I appreciate the brevity of their response, I can't help but feel that this response is also what's wrong with this album. You can't just blare away and expect it to be a good album. You might have a popular album on your hands, but by no means will it be a work of art. And that's just what happened here.
After chewing through all of the gristle that is "A Vivid Memory", I pondered why this monstrosity would be produced from the same band that created such beautiful sounds before. A thought came to me, and it almost startled me:
"What if they just got lucky with Equanimity?"
Lucky, indeed. I mentally debated with myself over this question. I'm fairly sure they had written much of it before they made the official switch to Prosthetic Records, but that may have had a hand in it. Even if it did, it wouldn't be that monumental an influence. There weren't any lineup changes, so that's out. Maybe the band only saw feedback about the heavier parts of the album, but even then the band should stick to what they want to make. Otherwise, it's lost the status of being a piece of art, and becomes an attempt to become rich. When a band goes back on what they started out for in the first place, they will lose part of what made them what they are. Like selling out to yourself.
After the dust had settled in my head, I agreed that Set and Setting is just a band that got lucky. I won't be holding my hopes as high as before, if at all.
My brother still plays his copy of 'Equanimity' on vinyl every once in a while, and I can't help but poke my head into the room for a bit, and listen to it. It's a very bittersweet feeling, but the sweet sounds of 'Equanimity' make the memories of 'A Vivid Memory' a little less vivid.

Gerry Rice, head of IMF Public Relations was in charge of making the announcement following on a question from an Argentine journalist who asked if the statistics controversy with Argentina was to be postponed.
"Could the December 17 board on Argentina's statistics be postponed to a later date as reported today?" asked Silvia Pisani from La Nacion.
On the question about Argentina's statistics and the board discussion, "as we said after the meeting in September, that the Managing Director is required to report to the Board by December 17 this year on Argentina's response to the Fund's concerns. We do not however yet have a specific date for the Board meeting at this stage", replied Gerry Rice.
Last September 17 the IMF Executive Board met to consider Ms Lagarde's report on Argentina's progress in implementing the remedial measures to address the quality of the official data reported to the Fund for the Consumer Price Index for Greater Buenos Aires (CPI-GBA) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
At the time the Executive Board said "it regretted the lack of sufficient progress in implementing the remedial measures since its February first, 2012 meeting and expressed to the authorities its concern that Argentina has not brought itself into compliance with its obligations under the IMF Articles of Agreement by implementing the said measures", and called on Argentina to implement the measures without delay.

Is not énoúgh the internet spying to learn reál statistics ?
@2 Oooops. Must learn to read those Articles of Agreement!


How cold is it? How cold does it feel?
Interesting comments around at the moment about the fact that the sea temperature has actually been warmer than it was at the start of July this year (12.1c said the Ballycotton gauge…hmmmm: working?). Even if it's right, people are saying they feel very cold in and out of the water. It's the air temp combined with the sea that's the difference, of course. Spending an hour in the sea (or even 30 minutes) in July is very different to doing it in December, January etc.
THSW Index uses humidity and temperature to calculate an apparent temperature. In addition, THSW incorporates the heating effects of solar radiation and the cooling effects of wind (like wind chill) on our perception of temperature.
Why bother posting this? Just another reminder / warning to us all to think of all the factors when swimming in Winter. Tides, sea temperature, wind temperature etc. Cold always wins. We can go into the sea on a beautiful flat calm day in December and be tempted to go a bit further than we should.
One thing you'll notice is that a Northerly wind makes Myrtleville nice and calm. Even quite strong Northerlies can still leave our favourite beach very swimmable. It's also a very cold wind! It's safer to be five or ten minutes from the beach when you feel cold, than to have gone over past the Dutchman when you realise that wind is freezing your elbows, your hands have clawed and it looks like a long way back. No rule says you have to go to the Dutchman. Fennell's Bay is lovely this time of year!
So, look at the sea, check the tides, agree with a swim partner what you're doing, cut it short if you feel cold – or before you feel cold – and always have your gear ready for a quick dry and change afterwards. Afterdrop can be painful and it's worse if you dawdle getting dressed. Winter swimming is fantastic – a real buzz. Just be careful. Swim Safe.
A bit of a do – December 20th.
Siobhan Russell is posting an Event on FaceBook for all swimmers. For non-FaceBookers, it's the Turkey Thaw in the Pine Lodge, Myrtleville, at about 4.30pm on Saturday, December 20th – after the last Myrtleville Turkey Swim for 2014. All are welcome.
Pine Lodge – ready to be filled.
Second last Turkey Swim in Myrtleville at 3pm.
Raffle being held after swim at the beach.
Pine Lodge for drinks and Turkey Thaw afterwards – about 4.30pm.
Photos of the year on screen.
Food available from pizza van.
Siobhan's agenda stops at that point, but I think she must have run out of space. I'm sure the following should also be there.
Tequila Chaser Chicks – live on stage at 9.30.
Denis' Shower Strip – repeated performance on request throughout the night – just ask and he'll be ready to go.
X Rated photos on screen (i.e. The Killary Shots) – once the kids go home. Sure to set up the next stage……..
Just another normal night out for this crowd, really.
See you on the 20th. Oh, it's Carol's birthday, too. There might be even more cakes than usual.
Santa arriving early – fresh supply of Hats on the way.
There will be a new stock of the world's most desirable stocking fillers, Myrtleville Swimmers hats, in Centra Crosshaven before Christmas. Yellow, White, in demand and international. The supplier has promised delivery in about ten days.
I got you another present, Angela..
Pat's Hat on Ironman training in Mallorca – I think that's a yellow hat blowing away in the background.
Update on the changing shelter.
Work to get a shelter built on the beach is moving along. Obviously, the main focus is on making the structure low-key and in keeping with the surroundings. You may recall one of the early designs. You'd hardly notice it on the beach.
It was suggested that this was so small it might actually be missed by visiting swimmers. Kieran Murphy has proposed a way to draw some attention to it make sure it doesn't completely fade into the background.
Kieran Murphy's contribution to the design of the new changing shelter.
I think this is just the most tasteful and appropriate proposal. Fair dues, Kieran. You've a real eye for eco-friendly design. I'm certain there will be no objections to it.
At 11c and over, it's a full degree warmer than 2013, when Carol Cashell recorded 10.2c on Dec 1st. We'll ignore the fact that 26 days later, she got 7.9c on St. Stephen's Day. The Winter has certainly been shortened.
We were unfortunate on Saturday morning to get the tail end of the Easterly wind, so twenty swimmers headed to Fountainstown for a splash in the slightly smaller waves. Great numbers in the water.
Feckin' Easterly. Myrtleville, 29 November.
August morning in Fountainstown – or at least that's what passersby thought. No parking spaces left.
The Turkey swimmers in Sandycove got the luck this weekend. Sunday was a beautiful day for a swim. Unfortunately, even that couldn't drag Siobhan Russell out of her habitual down-in-the-mouth, unenthusiastic demeanour.
You'd just feel like shaking her to get a bit of life into her. Always so downbeat – and don't get me started on that Lowry fella.
Swims today at 11.00 (might just be too late for that one!) and at 4.30pm. Enjoy it while we have it.

FinMin delves into details of 'new, more targeted measures'
Constantinos Petrides detailed the particulars of all 13 new measures aiming to kickstart the economy after the coronavirus slowdown
The measures will allow Cyprus
Finance Minister Constantinos Petrides held a press conference on Thursday to delve into the details of the new bundle of economic support measures announced by President Nicos Anastasiades in a televised national address Wednesday night.
"In this challenge that the country is facing, which is not just health-related but also financial, we have from the start assured that the Government will stand by its citizens, employees, and businesses," Petrides said.
Petrides: Government stood by the people from the onset
The Finance Minister said the Government moved fast with the implementation of measures to support the economy, "and there is already a big support package in motion, involving over 60 measures and is of a value of around 1.2 billion euros."
Petrides said the support measures aiming to keep the economy afloat are one of the most generous on an EU-wide scale, particularly given the size of the island's economy.
The support package announced after the outbreak of coronavirus brought the local economy to a near-total slowdown sought to maintain a high level of income among the public despite many not being able to go to work, to support the agricultural sector and to significantly boost the healthcare sector, while also taking into account students, vulnerable groups, parents, and workers in the cultural industry, Petrides said.
The payment of loan instalments was suspended for 10 months, electricity prices were reduced, and tax payments were suspended, he went on.
"These measures managed to not only manage the health parameter of the crisis, but also prevented layoffs, businesses bankruptcies, as well as other negative social consequences we are observing in other countries."
The 'new, more targeted' bundle of measures
In this period where the island is working toward the full resumption of the economy, the new bundle of support measures for the economy seeks to offer a more targeted approach, the Finance Minister said.
Plunging into the specifics of the 13 measures announced by Anastasiades on Wednesday night, Petrides said these measures will allow the island to "cover lost ground".
1. The participation of the Republic of Cypriot in the Pan-European Guarantee Fund
The Fund involves a new tool proposed by the European Union in view of cushioning the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic for EU member states. The setting up of the Fund was given the green light by the Board of Directors of the European Investment Bank (EIB) on Tuesday.
The Cabinet on Wednesday approved the island's participation in the Fund, from which Cyprus is expected to draw 300-400 million euros from the fund to cover needs of the Cypriot economy.
2. Government guarantee plan for the EIB to provide loans to Cypriot small and medium enterprises and medium capitalization companies
The plan activates an already existing scheme that has been ongoing since 2014, which involves a financial agreement between the Cyprus Government and the EIB to boost the local economy and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
The Cabinet on Wednesday agreed to boost the scheme by an additional 500 million euros.
Beneficiaries are Cypriot businesses that are registered and operated on the island, and which employ up to 3,000 people,
According to Petrides, the scheme provides favourable loan terms, including low interest rates, while interest rates may also be covered by the Government's interest rate subsidy scheme. Loans may also span up to 12 years.
But businesses that will activate the Government's interest rate subsidy scheme will be tied by the term that they will not be allowed to lay off over 2% of the staff they employ at the date of activating the scheme, except for reasons that justify the firing of staff without warning.
3. Liquidity of a value of 800 million for the funding of SMEs through the Cyprus Entrepreneurship Fund
Petrides said the Cyprus Entrepreneurship Fund was set up in 2013 along with the EIB in order to fund SMEs through loans with favourable terms.
The Fund, he added, is managed by the EIB's European Investment Fund which fast tracks procedures, without the involvement of the local administration.
The scheme will involve co-financing and risk sharing (50% -50%) between the Government and participating banking institutions. Therefore, the Government will receive a loan of 400 million euros from the EIB to finance 50% of the liquidity.
Beneficiaries of the scheme are SMEs employing up to 250 people, while loans may be as high as 1.5 million euros.
4. Interest rate subsidy scheme for new business loans
Liquidity prospects of businesses and the self-employed are also to be improved through a government scheme to subsidize interest rates for new loans, taken between March 1 and December 12, 2020.
Businesses affected by the pandemic slowdown are eligible irrespective of size, Petrides said, noting that the European Commission set a cap of 800,000 euros for the total subsidy.
While there is no limit to the amount of the loan, the subsidy will only cover double the sum of business' annual payroll for 2019 or 25% of their turnover.
For businesses set up in January 1, 2019, the maximum loan amount should not exceed the estimated payroll cost for the first two years of operation.
The maximum interest rate of the loan must not exceed 4.25%. The subsidy will run for four years starting with 3.5% the first two years, SMEs will enjoy 2% in the third and fourth years and 1.5% for large businesses.
Petrides stressed the loans cannot be used to repay existing facilities or as collateral for restructuring.
5. Interest rate subsidy plan for new housing loans
The scheme involves loans of up to 300,000 euros, taken between March 1 and December 31, 2020.
The maximum interest rate was set at 2.3%, while the government will subsidize 1.5% of the interest rate for four years.
6. Subsidy scheme for very small and small businesses and self-employed persons
The scheme will cover rent, operating expenses and other costs of the self-employed and small businesses (employing up to 50 people) that were also part of Labour Ministry schemes between April 13 and May 12.
The estimated cost would be around 100 million, with some 40,000-50,000 expected to benefit from the scheme.
Businesses with one employee will be granted 1,250 euros, those with two to five will receive 3,000 euros, those with six to nine staff will be eligible to receive 4,000 euros, while those employing 10 to 50 people will receive 6,000 euros.
7. Immediate promotion of mature development projects
In order to strengthen the recovery, the Council of Ministers agreed to instruct all competent authorities to immediately announce tenders for all development projects that are mature and ready for tenders to be launched, regardless when they have been budgeted for.
Petrides said the constriction of the new building of Parliament is excluded from the scheme.
8. Plan to stimulate airlines to increase connectivity to Cyprus, boosting the tourism sector
The plan involves 6.3 million euros that are to subsidize airlines flying to Cyprus. The assistance will span seven months, and will cover aircraft capacity between 40%-70%.
9. Advertising scheme with travel agents to attract tourism and promote Cyprus as a safe tourist destination
The scheme, amounting to 10 million euros, will focus on the creating of advertising campaigns to promote the island as a safe tourist destination.
10. VAT cuts for hospitality sector
In an effort to boost consumer demand for the hospitality sector, the government said it will be cutting VAT from 9% to 5% between July and January 10, 2021.
11&12. Extension of deadline for submission of tax returns
The deadline for the submission of tax returns was extended to the end of October, while any late fees imposed this year were scrapped.
13. Extension of deadline for submission of documents for Estia borrower relief plan
The government ordered a one-month extension for the submission of supporting documents for the Estia relief plan to July 31, while new applicants will be allowed to join by June 15.

Q: Merge lines between keywords into one-line comma separated values Between first occurrence of Cat to next occurrence of Cat, it should create a separate line with delimiter as ",".
File input  as below.
Cat
AA
BB
CC
Cat
AA-1
BB-1
CC-1

Output expected:
Cat,AA,BB,CC
Cat,AA-1,BB-1,CC-1

A: You could do something like this with sed:
sed '1{h;d;};/^Cat$/!{H;$!d;};x;s/\n/,/g;${x;/^Cat$/H;x;}' infile

explained:
sed '1{                   # if this is the 1st line
h                         # copy over the hold space
d                         # and delete it
}
/^Cat$/!{                 # if the line doesn't match Cat
H                         # append to hold space and
$!d                       # delete it if it's not the last line
}
x                         # exchange pattern space w. hold buffer
s/\n/,/g                  # replace all newline chars with commas
${                        # check if the last line of input matches Cat:
x                         # exchange pattern space w. hold buffer
/^Cat$/H                  # if the line matches Cat append it to hold buffer
x                         # exchange back
}' infile

A: awk
awk '
    /Cat/ {
        if (NR>1) print ""
        printf "%s", $0
        next
    }
    {printf ",%s", $0}
    END {print ""}
' file

Another version that heavily relies on awk variables: (added before I read your comment about "Cat" needing to be a case-insensitive regex)
awk 'BEGIN {RS="Cat"; FS="\n"; OFS=","} NR>1 {$1=RS; NF--; print}' file

A: With GNU sed:
sed ':a;N;s/\n/,/;ta' file | sed 's/,Cat/\nCAT/g'

or
tr '\n' ',' < file | sed 's/,Cat/\nCAT/g'

A: This solution does not require to read the whole file into memory. In other words: It will work on a 1 TB file being processed on a 1 GB machine as long as the full lines are less than 1 GB.
perl -ne 'BEGIN { $sep = shift; }
          if(/^$sep$/o) { @p and print join(",", @p)."\n"; @p = (); }
          chomp; push @p, $_;
          END { print join(",", $sep, @p)."\n"; }' Cat /tmp/cat

Chelsea have reportedly agreed a £32 million fee with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa in the summer. The Brazil-born Spain international has been one of the top strikers this campaign. He has scored an amazing 35 goals in 47 starts and that includes a goal against the blues as well. Costa has been on Chelsea's radar for several months now.
The 25-year-old did not impress in the first leg Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, but he scored the crucial penalty that knocked the blues out of the competition. Jose Mourinho has been consistently stating that Chelsea have lacked a striker with 'killer instincts' and this has been the reason for not winning the league title. Costa is expected to be named in the Spanish squad for the World Cup (click here for your favourite betting odds on football including World Cup).
It was originally expected that his transfer fee would be in excess of £45 million. However, Atletico Madrid seem to have agreed this fee after Chelsea allowed them – albeit reluctantly – to field Thibaut Courtois in the Champions League semi-finals.
Anything above £40 million would have been a little excessive for the striker, who has been on this impressive scoring form only for the last 12 months. As it stands, a £32 million fee is bang on target and it could give us the edge in next season's title race.
The deal is expected to be officially announced in the first week of June.
Samuel Eto'o is set to leave the club, but Fernando Torres and Demba Ba could stay. A defender is also thought to be on Mourinho's wish list for the summer.

This beautifully Unique Bed & Breakfast on the Waterfront of Raymond Island is so peaceful. Picturesque in the most precious surroundings. Magnificent birdlife are abundant in the bush setting, yet only a few metres away you find yourself standing in the pristine waters of the safe swimming beach.
Don't be surprised if you see the resident Dolphins swimming past, or the cheeky resident Koalas could be watching you from that huge Gum tree behind you, the best of Land and Water on this Island Paradise is offered here….stunning!
A peaceful retreat, with a lovely garden full of birds and nearby koalas. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the verandah, looking out over the quiet waters of the Gippsland Lakes, and swimming at the beach just outside the gate. Couldn't have found a better location! Noreta is a helpful and thoughtful host. Hope to return here soon!
Absolutely incredible! A magical slice of paradise and Noretta makes the stay especially special. Cannot recommend higher!
Beautiful place so close to everything. Such a great host and we took away some great memories.


A new GameStop promotion is polishing up a trio of legendary Pokemon for elite trainers only.
Nintendo might be changing its focus to Pokemon Black & White, but it hasn't forgotten about the previous DS Pokemon entries just yet. The month of January will see a promotion hosted at GameStop that features the giveaway of not one, not two, but three legendary Pokemon, and they're shiny to boot.
The Pokemon to be given away are shiny versions of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Shiny Pokemon are a color variant of regular Pokemon that usually have a sparkling animation and sound effect associated with them. Finding one is basically like buying a dog and discovering he can also play basketball. In the case of this GameStop promotion, the shiny Pokemon will know new moves not normally available to them. Unfortunately, none of the three will be wearing peach-colored backwards hats.
Shiny Raikou will be able to take advantage of the weather by using the Weather Ball move, shiny Entei can burn its opponents with the Flare Blitz, and shiny Suicune can use Sheer Cold to land a one-hit knock out (if lucky enough). All three will also have the ExtremeSpeed move, which inflicts damage with increased attack order priority.
You're going to want these Pokemon if you plan to get Pokemon Black & White, because transferring them to the upcoming titles will give players a chance to catch a Zoroark, which is apparently not available through regular gameplay. Shiny Raikou will be available at participating GameStop stores from January 3-9, shiny Entei from January 17-23, and shiny Suicune from January 31 to February 6. Players must have a pure heart and Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver to pick up these shiny beasts.

Q: How to perform a rails migration with dynamically generated sql? I'm trying to run either a PG::Connection or a ActiveRecord::Base.connection via interpreting some txt file during a rails migration. Seems like the migration runs out of memory pretty fast. Much faster than when I run a PG::Connection in just a ruby script. What is the cause of this?
def import_movies(db_conn)
  title_re = /^(#{$title}) \s+ \([0-9]+\) \s+ ([0-9]+)$/ix
    i = 0

    db_conn.transaction do |conn|
  # ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do # tried this also, slow

    File.new("#{DUMP_PATH}/movies.list").each_line do |line|
      print "." if (i = i + 1) % 5000 == 0; STDOUT.flush

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, Volume 4 - 10 hours [Audio CDs] #RA152
10 hours - Audio CD Set
Product Code: RA152
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
"Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar", billed as the adventures of "America's action packed insurance investigator", debuted on CBS radio on February 11, 1949, featuring Charles Russell in the title role. It was typical radio fare for the time - basically just another slam-bang half-hour detective series - and, though consistently well written and acted, the series was never really unique or substantial enough to capture a large and enthusiastic audience. Over the next few years, several actors were assigned the title role - including Edmond O'Brien and John Lund - but, though the show was, at one point, sponsored by Wrigley's Gum, the network often simply carried it as a sustaining feature -- a creative time-filler for the enjoyment of a radio audience that was rapidly migrating to television.
In the fall of 1955, however, some surprising things happened to "Johnny Dollar". In a stroke of casting genius, long-time radio veteran Bob Bailey, fresh from the Mutual network detective series "Let George Do It," took over the title role. Director Jack Johnstone and writers John Dawson, Robert Ryf, and Les Crutchfield joined the production team. And, at the same time, CBS began experimenting with some of its longest-running radio series by offering them as quarter hour, five-a-week "strip" shows, running Monday through Friday. The result was a shot in the arm for "Johnny Dollar" - and a surprisingly fresh beginning for a show in a medium that was rapidly turning away from drama. It was obvious that actor Bob Bailey was born to play the role, bringing to his portrayal a realistic depth and likeability that had been lacking in earlier versions of the show. The newly expanded format gave the writers a chance to craft characters and develop the depth of the stories without the need to wrap up every loose end after 24 brief minutes of dialogue. And the subtle cliffhanging nature of the stories made radio's dwindling listening audience want to tune in day after day - something that, by 1955, was seldom happening with any shows outside the realm of the daily soap operas.
This fourth 10-CD Radio Archives collection features ten five-part stories first aired in the spring and summer of 1956. As you listen to Dollar as he painstakingly pursues each case to its conclusion, note the extensive research that has obviously gone into each script; the action always takes place in real locations, complete with real street names, and landmarks are frequently noted throughout the shows. Local stations that broadcast "Johnny Dollar" are often mentioned, as well as the actual names of their personnel -- an interesting and amusing way to sustain interest in the show among network radio affiliates that might (or might not) be willing to carry it at all. The sound patterns, the musical scores, and the realistic dialog paint such a true audio picture that you can't help being swept, chapter by chapter, into the adventure. And the performers, including such radio veterans as Virginia Gregg, Lawrence Dobkin, Eleanor Audley, Lurene Tuttle, Harry Bartell, Sam Edwards, Joseph Kearns, Marvin Miller, William Conrad, Jeanette Nolan, and Richard Crenna, demonstrate their diverse talents in a series of realistic and textured characterizations.
For long-time fans of "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," these five-part adventures constitute the absolute pinnacle of the series' run -- and, in this fourth collection, Radio Archives is pleased to bring you another ten full weeks of these engrossing programs in excellent digital sound.

Great sound October 22, 2019
Reviewer: Charles Wullenjohn from Yuma, AZ United States
Sounding clear, sharp and crisp is what it's all about in terms of enjoying an old radio show. That, of course, and a well written, involving story. Radio Archives has consistently provided an excellent product in the past and this volume is no exception. And "Yours Truly Johnny Dollar" is consistently a great program. All in all, I'm very happy repeat customer.
Greatly Satisfying February 28, 2013
Reviewer: Penny from Santa Ana, CA United States
The Johnny Dollar series was recommended by a friend many years ago so it was in the back of my mind for ages. I got the first season for my dad when he was ill and stuck in bed for a while, then my family got the fourth season for a road trip. We'll keep filling in the rest of the series over time. It's so much fun! As customers of Radio Archives for about seven years we have nothing but praise for our experiences with them -- love being able to find old time radio shows so easily!

If you gave up and gave in at your Wyndham Resort or other developer's timeshare sales presentation, you have company – very unhappy company, we might add. Just take a look on line at Wyndham timeshare reviews, and you'll find a lengthy list of complaints from people who regret signing that timeshare contract.
That was the plea from a 69-year-old woman, reported by The Ledger in Lakeland, Florida. After a grueling, four-hour sales presentation, she and her husband purchased a $25,000 Wyndham Resort timeshare in Orlando. After the "very pushy" sales push, the Canadian couple depleted their retirement funds. Now they are constantly harassed by companies promising to get their timeshare cancelled, in exchange for up-front fees. With so many scam artists on both ends of the timeshare game, it's no wonder they don't know who to trust.

Turns out we are all super predictable. Here's how.
U Pennsylvania asked their participants about their feelings on certain hypothetical situations — things like "How do you feel about landlords subscribing to internet databases that profile behavior of their potential tenants?" Turns out that answers to these questions can be extrapolated to predict whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or an independent.
The study shows that there is a deep division on the issue of tracking in general — both online and in "real life." And "political stance" is one of the main predictors of the participants' responses to the study's list of hypothetical questions on the subject.
The study was published on April 30 and focused specifically on Americans' emotional response to snooping techniques that might affect low-income populations more than other income-brackets. Participants were questioned about their views on police profiling, and general surveillance, and was conducted over the phone. From January through February, these phone interviews were compiled, then analyzed, and the results were clear: the GOP and the Dems are split on this issue.
1,500 participants' divided response along political lines is certainly more than just a data fluke. But although the majority of participants agreed that surveillance was largely expected at this point, Republicans, unlike Democrats, were kinda, sorta, OK with it. Even "pleased" about the fact. Not so much with Democratic-leaning individuals, however.
Of course, this study is especially topical considering the data leak that, conservatively speaking, estimated 85 million users' data was mined by Cambridge Analytica via the social media platform Facebook.
And when it comes down to one thing, especially in the wake of this data breach, the blue and red voters agreed heartily: Facebook showing us ads based on interests that they expressed, not in a survey like this one, but on their personal Facebook accounts, was uncool (data is gained via things like status updates, comments, and the like).
It's a toss-up, and there's no one right answer. While quite a few of the participants agree on the invasiveness of surveillance practices and policies, their does appear to be a strong trend of Republicans reporting that, in the parlance of the survey, they felt "unbothered" or even "pleased" by internet and/or Facebook surveillance and tracking.
For instance, there was one theoretical question that involved police officers using surveillance techniques to closely monitor "people who they think they have characteristics that are common among criminals." Among respondents, 62 percent of Republicans said that they felt "happy" with this scenario, while 45 percent of independents agreed. Only 31 percent of Democrats felt similarly happy.
While the split is fairly obvious in this study, and shows some very different philosophies when it comes to tracking, surveillance and overall privacy policies, the answers to whether people expected to be surveilled in 2018 America were overwhelmingly unanimous. The answer was "yes!" What that surveillance meant to the participants, however, was where the divide began to emerge. Whether Americans like it or not, pervasive tracking is becoming a fact of daily life. On that, everyone can agree.

http://www.theage.com.au/environment/clean-coal-plant-set-to-go-ahead-20090707-dbuu.html
VICTORIA is poised to receive a coal-to-liquids plant for the Latrobe Valley that promises to produce cleaner coal, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent and extract thousands of barrels of high-grade oil.
The news is a relief for the Victorian Government, which has seen many of its supported "clean coal" projects either stalled or abandoned amid the global financial crisis and uncertainty around an emissions trading scheme.
The coal-to-liquids technology, which is known as supercritical water technology, adds water before using modular reactors to heat the coal and transform it into higher-grade coal and oil.
The plant, which Ignite Energy Resources will begin to build within weeks subject to State Government approval, will process up to 60,000 tonnes of brown coal a year to produce 60,000 barrels of oil and 18,000 tonnes of cleaner dry coal.
TRUenergy, which will supply the coal from its Yallourn power station, has agreed to take the initial resource, with Ignite hopeful increased production will lead to exports.
Ignite chief executive Len Humphreys said the initial plant would begin operation in 2010.
"The initial reactor will cost about $15 million — a hundredth of competitor technologies. The first module will be up in 2010 and then further modules can be added on every six months," he said.
"This process produces twice the energy of brown coal, with almost half as much carbon and also releases oil."
Mr Humphreys said about 10 jobs would be created initially but that this number could grow significantly if it could attract interest from overseas.
The project, if given final approval, comes after a number of false starts for the Government. In December, Royal Dutch Shell and Anglo American shelved their $5 billion coal-to-liquids project for the Latrobe Valley citing tight market conditions.
A further $1 billion in investment hangs in the balance with the Government still sitting on the release of coal reserves to move Exergen's continuous hydrothermal de-watering technology ahead. The technology, an Australian invention, transforms brown coal into export-quality coal for power generation.
The project has a number of international backers but could head offshore unless coal supply is guaranteed in Victoria.
HRL's $750 million, 400- megawatt coal gasification project was also meant to be directing power into the electricity grid this year but has been delayed due to a lack of investment.
Resources Minister Peter Batchelor said the Government had attracted record levels of leveraged investment for the Latrobe Valley's brown coal industry.
"Projects such as this have the potential to help establish new non-power industries for coal development in the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland region."

Ask Me Mondays: Best Online Shops in the Philippines | Vanity and Everything in Between.
Thank you for question and for reading my blog, Cha!
I used to follow a lot of makeup online shops on Instagram. I probably followed more than 20! But all it ever did to me was extra crave for makeup left and right. It wasn't healthy for my bank account, you know. I trimmed down to 3 - the makeup online shops that I've transacted with.
I don't remember how I stumbled upon Makeovershop but I'm glad I did. I do not regret following this Instagram account because the owner is very nice. The items are also priced right. It's not so over the top. Remember the most coveted Mega Lorac Pro Palette? At Makeovershop, it was sold around PhP4,000. Other makeup online shops sold it at PHP5,000-PhP6,000.
Makeovershop has a monthly (I think) cut-off for pre-order so you don't need to worry about your orders. And ladies, trust me, the owner Cherish is very nice. It's the very reason while she's on top of my mind when I want to try a new makeup that is not available here in Manila and I'm not out of the country.
I've always liked Digital Traincase. I'm one of the first few buyers when their focus was NYX Cosmetics before. It now revolved to catering makeup brands that professional makeup artists use. If you are a professional makeup artist or a serious makeup user, you'll love what you see at Digital Traincase now. If I remember correctly, they were the first one to bring really sell Bioderma and Vichy here. I've learned about Viseart thru them, too. Digital Traincase also has a physical store in Ortigas that you can visit if you want to swatch the makeup first.
If there are items that I can't find from the two online shops I've already mentioned, I go to Stuff In Style to check if they have it in stock. I had a slight bad experience from this online shop before. I don't really remember it anymore although I remember natarayan ako ng owner of this shop during Multiply days. But hey, the makeup online shop still offer great makeup products. Besides, my last transaction with them was alright so I'm good!
These three online shops are the best for me! If you know another makeup online shop that offers great service and wide variety of beauty products, let me know! I hope this post has been helpful! Happy makeup shopping!
If you have a question you've been wanting to ask me, just click the 'Ask' tab above! Or you can ask me on Instagram or Twiter, or on Facebook too! Use the hashtag #AskGem so I can easily see it!

The Adventure Mat is a simple but innovative product with a unique folding design that ensures your transitions in the outdoors are always clean and comfortable. Created by Boulder, CO resident and outdoor enthusiast Ralph Kuhlmeier, the mat was designed to help improve your time spent in nature. Changing shoes, sorting gear, prepping meals and anything else that requires a clean and dry surface is no longer a hassle when you're out in the elements.
Launched in 2016 with a successful Kickstarter campaign, my role has included brand identity, graphic design, art/creative direction, copywriting, video production, web design, packaging, and enhancements to the product design itself.
For many people, climate change feels like a distant problem in both time and space. This is one of the biggest hurdles that prevents us from taking the immediate action necessary.
Created with Al Gore's nonprofit, The Climate Reality Project, the purpose of What I Love was to connect with people based on their passions in life. By doing so, we were able to show how several of the things we care deeply about (places, foods, beverages, hobbies, people, etc.) are already being impacted by climate disruption. In addition to showing the impacts, we also showed clear steps on how we can take action by pressuring our leaders to minimize carbon pollution.
My role on the project included creative strategy and ideation, user experience design, art direction, photo direction, and a bit of copywriting.
The Climate Reality Project, founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is a global organization dedicated to unleashing a cultural movement demanding action on the climate crisis.
My responsibilities with the organization ranged from traditional branding, graphic design and UX to creative ideation, social media messaging, and strategic campaign direction. As both a veteran of the creative industry and a longtime advocate for the climate issue, I brought a unique perspective to the organization's mission with an ability to uncover ideas that resonate and have broad impact.
One world. One day. One message.
As the flagship event of The Climate Reality Project, hosted annually by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, 24 Hours of Reality is a live-streaming event covering the climate crisis and its solutions in every region of the world. Over the course of a day, world leaders, climate scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes bring attention to the shared challenges facing our planet and point the way toward a better tomorrow.
Throughout the event's first five years, my role included creative concepting, branding, graphic design, UX and web design, video art direction, advertising and copywriting.
Working with Al Gore's nonprofit, The Climate Reality Project, I helped design the organization's main website, which launched in 2014. Conceived from the beginning as a tool for action, the site was created to empower followers with meaningful things they can do about climate change.
With a broad user base, we made engagement with the site highly customizable for the user, ranging from low ("Get Smart"), mid-level ("Get Loud") to high ("Get Active"). While visiting the site, users' actions are counted in the "Progress Pulse," which adds up all of the actions people have taken with Climate Reality's initiatives. These simplified metrics allow users to share actions taken across the site with their social networks.
The fully responsive site was created in a highly collaborative process between Climate Reality's creative department and local ad agency Made Movement. My role throughout the process involved helping provide creative vision, user experience design, art/photo direction, content creation, and some copywriting.
Launched in 2011 by Alex and Ana Bogusky, Rob Schuham and John Bielenberg, COMMON connects entrepreneurs, designers and creatives to accelerate socially beneficial businesses and ideas using the power of rule-breaking innovation. COMMON's mission is to catalyze a global creative community with the tools, resources and opportunities to design positive social change; all done through the shared values of a collaborative brand.
Working closely on a daily basis with the founding team, I was able to contribute a great deal to the creative vision, brand identity, and the overall experience of all communications, platforms and events.
Founded by Alex Bogusky, Adweek's Creative Director of the Decade, the FearLess Revolution (aka FearLess Cottage) explored new relationships between people, brands and culture. Functioning as a hybrid creative studio and consumer advocacy group, FearLess was recognized as a leader in cause-related campaigns and the advancement of sustainable business practices.
As the sole full-time creative person on staff, my responsibilities included art direction, graphic design, user experience, creative strategy, digital & video production, copywriting & editing, website/blog management, social media marketing, community management, and the hiring/managing of creative interns. Working closely with Alex and the small team quickly accelerated my ability to manage multiple creative projects and wear many hats.
