Can pregnant women and children take Noni?
Absolutely! We have never heard of any child or adult experiencing health problems from taking Noni. Generally children take smaller quantities as adults, according to their weight. Many pregnant women are taking Noni without any difficulties and have reported health benefits from taking Noni during their pregnancy.

Stories Within Stories	The U has one of the top, and most accessible, rare book collections in the West.
Kim M. Horiuchi Winter 2012
Luise Poulton casually holds out the small, unassuming—even plain-looking—book. It lacks the exquisite line drawings, the delicate rice-paper pages, the elegant typeface, and even the literary credentials of many of the other books in the University of Utah's rare book collection.
"It's a tiny little book. It's not very fat, it's not very tall, and it's very unprepossessing. The paper isn't particularly great," says Poulton BA'01, the rare books manager at the U's J. Willard Marriott Library. "There's nothing fancy about it." But this book is likely the most valuable of the 80,000 pieces in the University's rare book collection. It's a treasure among treasures, all of which visitors are free to handle, touch, and read from cover to cover.
That includes this deceivingly valuable little Book of Commandments, or a surviving original of Galileo Galilei's Dialogo, or the first novel Charles Dickens wrote (at age 25), or a tome of sacred Buddhist writings from China printed in 1440, 10 years before Gutenberg's famous press.
"Here, you want to hold a million dollars?" Poulton says as she hands over the palm-sized Book of Commandments, written in 1830 and containing Mormon church founder Joseph Smith's description of what he said were his revelations from God. The book, which sat in his brother Hyrum Smith's library, was donated to the U by LDS Church leader John M. Whitaker in 1969. The U Rare Books Division also has one of only two known copies of the Book of Mormon inscribed by Joseph Smith; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns the other. But the Mormon pieces are, by far, not the only storied stories.
Sumerian clay tablet
The one-by-one-inch square block is smooth like polished ivory and covered with little etchings. The Sumerian clay tablet dates to 2276 BC and is one of the earliest examples of writing. It's one of three such tablets at the University of Utah, says Luise Poulton, manager of the U's Rare Books Division.
This tablet is the smallest and was recently purchased by the U as part of the Kenneth Lawrence Ott collection from the small Okanogan County Museum in Washington state. Ott, who was a schoolteacher in the area, began collecting books on the history of books in the 1920s and '30s and donated his collection to the museum during the Great Depression, with the stipulation that the collection be kept together.
Poulton says none of the U's clay tablets have been translated, but because of its size, the tablet is believed to be "something like a receipt: 'Yes, I acknowledge you bought two goats from me,' or 'I acknowledge that you paid your taxes this year.' "
The Marriott Library is home to one of the top rare book collections west of the Mississippi. The books are shelved in the library's "inner sanctum," a 7,000-square-foot, humidity-controlled, secured vault kept cold—between 58 and 62 degrees—and dark, with posted signs demanding, "Lights Out! Lights Out!" Stretching 120 feet long by 80 feet wide, the vault houses the world's third-largest collection of Arabic papyrus, the largest collection of medieval facsimiles in the state, and the largest collection of fine press and artists' books in the region. The books are brought to the vault after cataloguing in a "staging area," but they don't stay in the vault.
Poulton's strong belief is that anyone who desires should have access to the collection—from a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible printed between 1450 and 1455 to Isaac Newton's first-edition Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, an "extremely valuable book" that was printed in 1687 and is worth up to a half-million dollars. Poulton describes her job as balancing security and access. She shoulders the task of safeguarding the books, a responsibility that she acknowledges makes her nervous and keeps her up at night. But just as important, she says, is ensuring access to the books and making them as available as possible. "And I love that. I love the idea that you don't have to come in with a letter from the president of Harvard to see these books. I love it that anyone—anyone—can walk into that room and say, 'I'd like to see this book,' and they get to see it."
While other universities and institutions around the world may have larger, more impressive collections, Poulton marvels that the University of Utah, a public university, has the collection it does. "This is not Yale's Beinecke Library, this is not Princeton's library that has two full copies of the Gutenberg Bible. This is not Oxford. This is not Bibliothèque de Paris. This is a state institution," she says, "and we have these things."
U student Matthew Scholl, left, examines a page of a Gutenberg Bible, with Luise Poulton.
The way Poulton speaks about the renowned collection reflects her own background. As a young ballet dancer working in New York, she realized she had advanced as far as she could and needed a degree, so she came to the U as a student in the Ballet Department but ended up switching majors and graduating in history. Of Rare Books' latest exhibition, Fighting Words: American Revolutionary War Pamphlets, which took months to curate, she says with a dancer's aplomb: "We want the end-product to look effortless, like any good performance, right?" She rattles off an intricate history of each book but in the next breath betrays a performer's anticipatory excitement: "The props that I have are just so incredible."
Poulton has worked at the Marriott Library for the past 20 years, including the last 15 with Rare Books, and her enthusiasm for the job is palpable. She wants everyone to have the sensory experience of holding a centuries-old book—to not just touch it while leafing through pages but to inhale the mustiness of a book's scent, to hear the thick rustle of pages made from rag paper, to see the fine craftsmanship of books that were early printers' pride and joy, to handle ideas that were revolutionary.
"To hold a copy of Common Sense, printed in 1776, that was held by hands in 1776, and most likely read out loud to other people in 1776, that's a connection. That's a very physical and visceral connection," Poulton says. And anyone can have that experience, by visiting the Rare Books room during its regular hours, Monday through Saturday. A staff member usually supervises the visits.
The power of holding these books is unmistakable. "There's just nothing like it," she says. But equally powerful are the stories behind each book, and the paths of the books through history. Among the most compelling is that of the U's copy of Galileo's Dialogo. Only 1,000 copies of the book were printed in 1632. The book's discourse on astronomy and Galileo's contention that Nicholas Copernicus was correct in postulating that the planets revolved around the sun rather than the Earth drew the ire of the Catholic Church.
The church considered the book so dangerous that Galileo was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition, placed under house arrest until his death, and prohibited from publishing any future books. The Dialogo was placed on the Inquisition's list of forbidden books and remained there until 1835. Most of the copies were destroyed. It is believed only about 200 copies survived, and somehow, some way, one of those copies made its way to the U, hidden away and changing hands throughout the centuries.
Other highlights among the scientific books in the U's collection include Euclid's Elements of Geometry, the oldest mathematical textbook still in common use today. The first-edition copy, also among the U's most valuable at $185,000 to $200,000, was printed in 1482 by famous German printer Erhard Ratdolt. "This was his book," Poulton says, pointing out Ratdolt's "self-congratulatory blurb" on the first page, in which he describes the quality of work his shop produces. Or there's the first-edition Novum Organum, printed 138 years later, in which Francis Bacon disagrees with Aristotle to set "the stage for a new way of seeing, studying, and understanding the world around us."
Da ban ruo bo luo mi duo jing
The delicate rice paper on which Da ban ruo bo luo mi duo jing is printed is just one part of the book's multifaceted history. Purchased by the University of Utah as part of the Kenneth Lawrence Ott collection, the book is the first volume from a set of sacred Buddhist writings and was printed in China in 1440, during the fifth year of the reign of the Ming Emperor Cheng Tung.
The book's 100 pages are bound accordion-style and contain Chinese characters, made from a wood-block print, interspersed with lavish illustrations. Most of the U's rare books tell a strong Eurocentric story, says the collection's manager, Luise Poulton. "But we do have pieces like this, and we try to use these pieces as often as possible to make the point that book-making—communicating with the written word—has been going on all over the world for a very long time."
"This is the book for which Galileo nearly had his head cut off," says Luise Poulton, manager of the U's Rare Books Division. Only 1,000 copies of Galileo Galilei's Dialogo were printed in 1632, and all of them were supposed to have been destroyed during the Inquisition. Somehow, about 200 copies survived.
Poulton says the book at the U was purchased for $2,250 in 1970 from a private collector, Herbert M. Evans, through donations the U received when the Marriott Library was built. A copy in similarly pristine condition sold a few years ago for $155,000. Evans, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley who co-discovered vitamin E, collected books on the history of science. The exact path the U's copy of Dialogo took over the centuries to arrive in his hands remains a mystery.
In the book, Galileo supports the astronomical ideas of Copernicus, who had been censured almost 100 years earlier by the Roman Catholic Church for concluding that the planets revolve around the sun, and Earth is not the center of the universe. Galileo intentionally tries to make his case in a casual way. He writes his book in Italian as a conversation or dialogue—hence, Dialogo. The book's frontispiece, a picture of three men engaged in conversation, seems to suggest, "Don't worry about us, we're just three guys talking," Poulton says. But the pope, who was a childhood friend of Galileo, would not be fooled. Galileo was sequestered for the rest of his life and was forced to recant the book "to save his head." Most of the copies of the book were rounded up, confiscated and presumably burned.
The pieces are among the "big guns" in the U's science collection, Poulton says. But the science collection is just one part of "a world-renowned archives," says book dealer Ken Sanders, owner of Ken Sanders Rare Books store in Salt Lake City. There are "hundreds of significant collections housed at the library, any one of which could provide a student a master's thesis and a lifetime of research," he says. One of the U's rare pieces, an aquatint by Karl Bodmer featured in the 1839 book by German Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, is now on display at the Smithsonian through January 27.
But Poulton finds the simple stories of some of the books in the U's collection to be as compelling as those of the grander works. She recalls curating an exhibition of 18th-century multi-volume herbal books. In one of the volumes, a dried plant had been pressed on a page that matched the picture of that plant. "This was at least a 200-year-old book," Poulton says, "and who knows when that particular specimen was added in that 200 years and by whom—and why just that one, and why didn't they keep going, or maybe they did and the rest fell out. So there's the find. There's this very personal touch, and then there are all these questions. So I love knowing. I also love the mystery."
Like the discovery she stumbled upon in a lesser-known book given as a gift to a woman. Poulton doesn't even remember the book's title, but in it, she found an inscription by inventor Nikola Tesla. "I just flipped out," she says. "I called one of my sisters and said, 'You won't believe this.' " Poulton's students have had similar experiences. Just this fall, Poulton was giving a lecture on artist books, which are unique, newer books in the collection, mostly made in the 20th century. "One of those students was looking at a book smaller than a cell phone and burst into tears. I mean, lost it," Poulton says. The text was about charity and quoted the medieval Jewish scholar Maimonides.
"I've had reactions like that often. It gets to be personal. … The smell, the touch, the sound really does have meaning to it. It's the difference between getting an 'I love you' in an email and getting a hug in person," Poulton says.
Emily Michelson, a history professor at St. Andrews University in Scotland who taught at the U from 2006 to 2009, says those stories and the experiences they elicit are extremely valuable. In Utah, she brought her students every semester to visit the Rare Books room. "It was enormously important for the students," Michelson says. "Often the books were the oldest man-made objects they had ever seen, much less held."
Poulton says she is always striving to expand the "depth and breadth" of the collection. "I have a wish list that's five million lines long and a Microsoft-worth of money." Besides expanding the collection, Poulton also is working to digitize many of its works so that readers can look at them online. It's an interesting juxtaposition, given her desire for people to physically hold the books and equal wish for the greatest accessibility. She can't help but think the early printers from centuries ago would feel the same way.
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club
With the publication of his first novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Charles Dickens became famous overnight.
The book, written when he was only 25 years old, was published in installments of serialized, once-a-month chapters. The University of Utah's Rare Books Division is home to a complete set of the first printing of the novel, printed in 1836 and illustrated by Hablot K. Brown, nicknamed "Boz."
"I can see them saying on the one hand, 'Wow, what a great idea,' because part of the reason for Gutenberg developing printing with movable type was out of an obvious need for more copies of less expensive books. On the other hand, they did make a big deal about making what they produced beautiful." Poulton—who doesn't own a Kindle, has "no plans to get a Kindle," and won't use an iPad because it has no keyboard—can relate: "Texting is a great example. That's not spelling," she says.
Yet that modern-day dilemma is another example of what makes the rare books so intriguing. By handling and touching the books, it is easy to grasp that they are the reflection of real lives and real people who grappled with many of the same everyday circumstances that exist today. Their stories are rich, and the stories behind them even richer.
"The rewarding part is sheer selfishness," Poulton says. "This is what I do. This is what I am surrounded by. To give students a context as to why they should care about some musty old books and see their reaction, that's the most gratifying thing."

Is there a reason that the staff are not wearing gloves? If I remember correctly, oils from the human finger could cause havoc on the paper. Just wondering.
lynnoleson1@yahoo.com says:
Such a wonderful article–very finely written. I am a member of the DAR, Daughters of the America Revolution, and I wonder about whether or not someone from your Rare Books Collection could mail some of the written information about the Revolutionary War, particularly events prior to the war. Would you list some of the titles of the pamphlets around l775? Thanks for your courtesy. Barbara Lynn Oleson Jeppson '64.
Alison Regan says:
I'm no expert on the wearing/not wearing of gloves when handling rare materials, but I learned from Luise that there is good evidence that wearing gloves causes problems. See the following article for more information:
http://www.betweenthecovers.com/btc/articles/49
In any case, lovely article about a fabulous curator and great collection!
Actually, the fibers from the gloves would cause more damage to the material. Simply cleaning the hands with baby wipes, or such, is much more effective
Alison Conner, Rare Books Curator says:
Barbara, thank you for your interest in our collections. This past summer I curated an exhibition, Fighting Words: American Revolutionary War Pamphlets. We have many pamphlets printed in both England and America before, during, and after the Revolutionary War. These include speeches by Edmund Burke, sermons by Josiah Quincy, transcripts from meetings of the Continental Congress and Parliament, women authors such as Catherine Macaulay, and famous authors such as Benjamin Franklin, William Pitt, and Thomas Paine.
As this list is extensive, I will contact you directly with more details of what is available.

Luise Poulton says:
Thank you for your question. It's one that gets asked often. Alison Regan's response gives you a link to an excellent article that addresses the issue. Briefly, the question about the use of gloves or not when handling rare books is decades old. The arguments for wearing gloves include the point you make – hands have natural, protective oils that can harm paper, ink and other elements of a book. Gloves help protect against this. However, gloves can often do more harm than good: people wearing gloves tend to be a bit clumsy. It is difficult to turn pages with gloves on and gloved hands can be slippery. The fibers in cotton gloves can get caught in paper fibers, which can cause damage. Finally, one of the great pleasures in handling books is to feel the paper, the impression of the type, if the book was printed letterpress, the leather of the binding, so many things. Carefully cleaned hands and mindful handling allows us all those pleasures while keeping the book safe.
Best, Luise

My favorite organization is Children International. After my first sponsored child, Luck, passed away it ripped me up inside. I had just started helping him, but it was too late. So I followed up and sponsored his 3 siblings. I felt that I was tied to this family and that I couldn't choose another child and walk away. I then went on to adopt a little girl in India, a little boy in Colombia (he uses our center!), and most recently a little girl in Little Rock, Arkansas. I believe that every child should have access to things that will better their hearts, minds and bodies. They should learn and play and be healthy. They should strive to be better and get a proper education. Mostly, they should know they are loved. I believe Children International follows through on all of these things.

Missing $20bn: Forensic Audit Needed To Unravel This Mystery – Okonjo-Iweala
By niyi
niyi
The Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Thursday in Abuja called for independent forensic audit to resolve the puzzle over unremitted funds to the CBN.
Okonjo-Iweala made the call at the Senate Committee on Finance hearing on the alleged missing 20 billion dollars.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Deizani Alison-Madueke, was also at the hearing.
Also at the hearing were NNPC Group Managing Director, Mr Andrew Yakubu, and CBN Governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi.
"Let us now focus on the original 10.8 billion dollars which was the shortfall we had as at July 2013.
"Another reconciliation meeting was held at which NNPC presented data of how they utilised the balance of 10. 8 billion.
"This includes amount withheld for subsidy 8. 76 billion dollars, holding cost of strategic reserve 0. 4599 billion and pipeline crude oil and product losses of 0. 761 billion.
"There was also pipeline management at the cost of 0. 905 billion dollars," the minister said.
According to her, the data presented are all certified by Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).
She said the reconciliation committees called for backup documents to enable it verify the certified papers.
"Our judgment is that a proper examination of these documents requires technical expertise beyond the capacity of the reconciliation team.
"Therefore, we believe we should have an independent forensic audit to manage these submissions," she said
She said that the 20 billion dollars alleged by the CBN as missing featured in the original reconciliation effort in the cascade presented by NNPC.
She said that the committee agreed that the issues surrounding the alleged fund was legal and required careful legal interpretation.
Earlier, the chairman of the committee, Ahmed Makarafi, had charged reconciliation group to carry out the forensic audit and get back to the committee in one month.
He said that the committee would reconvene on Feb. 20 to enable the Attorney General of Federation to give a legal advice on the issue. [NAN]

No one wants to spend the summer cleaning leaves out of a pool, checking the water's pH, buying and adding chemicals, polishing handrails, adjusting water levels or inspecting equipment.
You and your family want to spend your time actually enjoying and entertaining around your pool.
But what will that cost, and what maintenance services does your pool need? And how can you make this experience enjoyable and feel comfortable with the quality of the maintenance company? What are the factors that are most important?
Here's a cost and service breakdown to show you what it takes to maintain your South Florida pool.
What Maintenance Does Your Pool Need?
You may have specific needs for your pool in addition to these, but those are some of the top maintenance services.
One of the main deciding factors when it comes to how much your pool maintenance will cost is the size of the pool and the frequency of service. Obviously, the larger it is, the more time and chemicals it will take to keep it maintained.
Other factors include the pool's current condition: Has it gone untreated for a while? Will it need additional work to get it up to a high level?
You also need to consider the age of your pool's installation, your willingness to make repairs, the existence of infinity edges with troughs, access to vacuum lines, accessibility of equipment, age of equipment, automations, exposure to the elements, high trees, how often the pool is used and if the home is a rental.
These are all factors that will play a role in the service cost. And if you have other water features like spas that need maintenance, that will increase the price.
The services, size of your pool, extent of work and level of experience the pool maintenance company has are going to set the price.
Since you are allowing the pool technician access to your backyard and the extension of your home, make sure to find a company with pool techs who have passed extensive background checks: You do not want to be worried about theft or issues with other family members. You want them to be a trusted steward who also alerts you of anything suspicious around the property.
Typically, a good pool cleaner develops a rapport with the homeowner and customer to the point of cell phone communication and text messages when needed. It is also customary to tip a good, consistent pool tech around the holidays. It's important the pool company has general liability and workmans comp insurance if they are working at your residence.
Anything less, and I would seriously be concerned about the quality of work. To break it down, this is roughly $30-$46 per service, and the tech should spend anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes on the property.
The costs vary more widely because the board of health has specific requirements for frequency of service, and there are larger range of sizes and needs compared to residential pools.
Beyond keeping your pool looking like the stunning oasis you've always wanted, maintenance will also extend the life of your pool.
Not maintaining your pool properly could cut the lifespan of your installation down by half, or down to a quarter if you don't maintain it all, according to CNBC findings. It can lead to unbalanced and unsafe chemicals in the water, algae, ruined and stained finishes, rust, broken components and other costly issues.
But how often do you need to have it maintained?
We recommend weekly maintenance for residential pools and daily for commercial pools, as health codes require. Of course, if your pool has some serious issues, it may require more maintenance in the beginning.
Spend your money wisely on pool maintenance by hiring an experienced pool and landscape company. They need to have the knowledge, high-quality equipment and professional team to manage your pool year round.
At Reef Tropical, we provide pool and spa maintenance services for all of South Florida, focusing on water features from Marathon north to South Beach.
We understand your pool and spa should be there for you to enjoy — not to steal your time with upkeep. Reef Tropical has highly trained and well-supervised pool techs who have all passed an extensive background check. We also have quality trucks, equipment and uniforms with general liability and workmans compensation.
Call us at 305-367-2005 or request a quote to see how much it would cost to maintain your South Florida pool.

Hello, everybody. This might be a short week for many of us since the Easter weekend is on the way. Have a great week and I hope it is going to be a smooth one!
Happy Tuesday, Erika! 😉 I want to go back to the 80th. What a wondeful time this was. But the internet i will need too. 🙂 Great song indeed!
I often think the same. Many things were easier altough… were they really? I think it always depends on what we know. But I agree, the 80s were special and the music created a new era.
What a way to start the week of smoothly with Sade. Have an inspiring week!
Isn't it a smooth way to start the week? Have a great one, too!
Most definitely! I love her voice and style. Will do, dear friend!
The garden work is done for now. But we did not progress as well as we hoped with the painting. We need to continue in two weeks since next weekend is already filled… sigh!
I am glad you think so. It is a power song sung by a power woman.
Yay, I am very happy that I picked the perfect song for you, sis 😊 I hope you had a great Monday!

Centre-half Rod McDonald, left-back Ryan Haynes and midfielder Ben Stevenson are all "knocking on the door" to return to action, says manager Mark Robins .
Summer signing McDonald has missed the last three games with a knee and hamstring problem but returned to training this week after initial fears that he could be out for up to 12 weeks.
"He's there or thereabouts," said Robins, of the 25-year-old Sky Blues defender.
Haynes has been out for two months after suffering a twisted knee against Sutton United in the opening pre-season game, while Stevenson has been nursing an injury he sustained in the first half against Shrewsbury in the Checkatrade Trophy last week.
"It's a collective effort," said Robins.
"I think the goals we have conceded have been cheap. We have been unlucky as well, certainly at Yeovil there were two penalty appeals - one nailed on that we should have had – and their second goal when they broke away on the counter attack came from an unfair advantage when they moved the ball forward with an arm.
"You have to accept that referees are going to miss these things from time to time but that was difficult to take. We should really have got back into that game and, at 1-1, there would have only been one winner.
"So we are very, very close to being a good side and, really, we have got to be difficult to break down and beat, and then there's got to be a little bit of individuality and confidence in that final third to deliver the goals that we're going to need.
"We have got some really good players, some talented players who will eventually relax into the role and start scoring."


Several years ago I worked for a company that had an incredible work culture. Everyone enjoyed working together and every time a sale came in we rang a bell that hung proudly near our vice president's office. Now that was fun! Imagine coming to work every day looking forward to the opportunities that might come your way or to your colleagues.
A couple years later I was working for a company that had the opposite culture. Everyone was protective of the opportunities they had; in fact, the company was actually looking for ways to reject potential business that came in the door. Crazy, you may say! So, guess which company survived! The second company was bought out.
My earlier example clearly had the culture he calls teamwork and shared responsibility.
The latter company had the culture of blame and finger pointing. Which culture does your company have, or do you even know? Having the right kind of culture is vitally important to your success.
Quint writes about 4 key points needed to build a culture of excellence as exemplified by Southwest Airlines.
1. Accept criticism graciously. Communication has to be open and honest. There are no hidden agendas and everyone has the right to say what's on their mind.
Companies that can communicate this way will take their teams to a higher level of performance. How does your sales team take and give criticism?
2. If employees can accept criticism graciously, it will lead to Quint's 2nd point – have the ability to challenge leaders. In the past this was unheard of in many companies.
Yet today most successful organizations realize that they must hear from the front line employees what is working and what is not working. And the new millennial generation, which is steadily growing in the workplace, rarely hesitates to embrace this point. Those that are born after 1977 have no problem communicating to management what they think. Companies need to embrace this characteristic if they are to survive in an environment where change is faster than it's ever been.
How do you allow your sales professionals to challenge their leaders?
3. Issue public challenges. Twenty years ago Sam Walton issued a challenge to all 65,000 Walmart employees. He committed to do a hula dance on Wall Street if they showed an 8% pre-tax net profit for the year. The industry average was 3%, yet for that year Walmart came in at 8.04% and Sam did the hula as promised. Is Walmart still around today? Yes. In fact, as of today they are the 3rd largest company in the world behind Shell and Exxon. Public challenges make things happen.
How can you challenge your sales team publicly?
4. Never punish an honest mistake. This sounds like craziness in a culture of blame and finger pointing. Yet, companies that take risk and grow to the next level always make mistakes. What you want to look at is how people respond to those mistakes – what do you learn from them? My second company example did not tolerate mistakes. Instead of taking risks to win, everyone was frozen and spent valuable energy trying to cover them up. My guess is that this is one big reason why they no longer exist.
* What a company permits is what they promote – so ask yourself, what am I promoting?

What a beauty that is! I love those colors.
I'm still sorting through all my hiking photos from last summer, and I just came across this set. This location is northeast of the huge anticline in Slate Canyon that you posted in September. The first photo (A) shows an anticline in the left foreground that looks a lot like the one from September. It's not the same exposure, although it's the same kind of rock (Big Cottonwood fm). The situation behind and to the right of the anticline is what I was actually trying to photograph. It looks like maybe another anticline(s) that got faulted after it was folded? The way it appears to undulate into and out of the ground reminded me of those sea serpents they used to draw on Renaissance maps. Photos A and B were both taken from halfway up the opposite (north facing) wall of the canyon; photo C was taken from the bottom of the canyon, looking downhill toward the "serpent." The colors are a little wonky in the third photo; at that altitude (over 6,000 ft) the light is so bright that my camera sometimes has trouble dealing with it.
We didn't stop there, but I'm guessing that's a tuff cone, a big pile of pyroclastics that built up from submarine eruptions, a la Surtsey in Iceland.
Continuing with the pyroclastic theme, here's a look at Bartoleme, where tan tuff hosts a lens of something white. I note the curved bottom and flat top to this unit, and the red shadow of contact metamorphism beneath it, and so I think it's a pyroclastic flow deposit. I suppose it could also be a rhyolite flow. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to successfully fact-check this "armchair" geologizing from the resources available on the Internet, so I welcome your insights.
Let's stick with the tuffaceous islands for the moment. Kicker Rock is the eroded remains of a tuff cone from a violent Surtseyan-style eruption.
This beach sand can get lithified and make coquina. In this case, here's a storm- (or tsunami?-) tossed slab, several meters above sea level, with a boulder-sized inclusion of basalt of the left side.
The textures here were so photogenic; it was difficult to stop capturing them with my camera.
Or how about this extraordinarily consistent braided texture?
Other than that, it looked pretty pristine. What a great thing to be able to see and traverse in person!
New year's day is the time I tally up and report the bird species seen in my yard on the forested slope of Massanutten Mountain in Shenandoah County, Virginia. This is my seventh such annual list.
It's been a good year. Two new "seen for the first time ever" species for the yard are noted in bold type.
That is a spectacular outcrop! The folds' axial planes are more or less horizontal, so we'd be justified in calling these "recumbent" folds. I love, the 3D exposure; how we see them sectioned both in profile and also parallel to the bedding plane. Very, very cool.
You know, the very first Friday fold ever (>8 years ago) was also from Samaria Gorge in Crete. My wife Lily was the source, before she was my wife! Jay suggested I get her to take me back there, and I'm starting to think he may be right.
Happy Friday to you, and happy holidays, too.
Here's a kid's book to consider for the holiday season: The 50 State Fossils: A Guidebook for Aspiring Paleontologists, written by Yinan Wang and illustrated by Jane Levy. It has a simple structure: each state gets a page, and that page is divided into four parts: a map of the state w/ areas highlighted showing where the fossil can be found, an illustration of the organism as it looked when it was alive, in a cartoony sort of style, a representative photograph of the fossil, and a few paragraphs of text describing the organism, its geological setting, and superlative aspects of its discovery or lifestyle. Not every state has a state fossil, but Wang rolls with the punches, presenting "state dinosaurs" where they occur, and the (fossil-derived) "state stone" in one case. For states where there are "none of the above," Wang makes suggestions as to what would be an appropriate choice, considering the geology of the state, as well as proposed bills to designate state fossils that never made it out of their respective legislatures. This is a useful compilation of information about the range of organisms which are embraced / celebrated as state fossils. Duplicates become very apparent when reading through the whole book (as my son and I did on Monday): a lot of mammoths, a lot of trilobites, a lot of crinoids, and a lot of dinosaurs. The unique choices really stand out: belemnites (Delaware), the Tully monster (Illinois), petrified palm wood (Louisiana), and Jefferson's ground sloth (West Virginia). My own state, Virginia, has the elegant Pliocene scallop Chesapecten jeffersonius as its state fossil for many good reasons. I have a couple of personal connections to the story of that bill, and am pleased that its story is included in the brief description. In 1687, it was the very first fossil from the Americas to be illustrated in the scientific literature. So illustrating it is key to its selection, and it pains me to say that the photo used to illustrate the fossil appears to be another species in the Chesapecten genus, perhaps C. middlesexensis or C. madisonius. You can count the ribs – C. jeffersonius should only have 8 or 9 ribs, but the individual shown in the photo has 12 ribs. I found one small typo too. These are relatively minor details, and for the intended audience of paleophile children, I don't think they matter in any essential way. I think the book would make an admirable addition to the bookshelves of young paleontologists. My son (6 years old) really enjoyed it, and has gone back to it several times since to leaf through and re-examine the critters. He's particularly taken with Shonisaurus, the Nevadan icthyosaur!
It's time for another guest Friday fold! This one comes to us from Nathan Niemi of the University of Michigan.
an aerial view of the Titus Canyon Anticline in Titus Canyon, Death Valley National Park, looking to the northwest. The fold is cored in the lower Paleozoic Zabriskie Quartzite and Wood Canyon Formation (brick-red bed at right), and the overlying middle Paleozoic Carrara Formation (shales and limestones) is detaching from the Zabriskie and forming the tight, prominent fold in the center of the photo. The dark gray rocks to the left are overturned upper Paleozoic carbonates of the Bonanza King Formation.
Thanks for sharing, Nathan – what a great view of a great structure! I found it in Google Maps if anyone is interested in exploring the local context with that tool.
The South Mountains are a metamorphic core complex: a large sort of structure that is moderately common in the mountains of southwestern Arizona, but also present in other areas of the world. These metamorphic core complexes are characterized by a dome-like blob of exhumed rock rising up, and overlying rocks slipping off the top. The rocks that pooch upward in the middle of the complex go from deep, hot conditions to shallow, colder conditions. The deformation they experience thus starts off ductile, and then transitions to brittle as they make their way up to the surface.
The principle of cross-cutting relationships reminds us that when one geologic unit or structure cuts across another one, the cutter must be younger. At this site, the ductile fabric of the mylonite is transected by the veins of brittle pseudotachylyte. This shows in miniature the structural imprint of the granite's journey upward through different deformational conditions through time.
It almost looks like a thumbprint, or a surficial deposit of mud. But it's not! It's part of the rock.
In the annotation, the pseudotachylyte vein's contact with the mylonitized granite is outlined in black, the concentric flow banding is traced out in white, and my interpretation of flow direction is shown with the yellow arrows.
I first saw these rocks in January on a field trip that Steve led for the Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum, but I didn't have nearly as much time to explore the site then as I did this past Thursday, when I was lucky enough to find myself in Phoenix with a free afternoon, and good company in the person of my former student Stephanie Sparks, now working on a PhD at ASU under the supervision of Kip Hodges. Stephanie and I saw some other cool outcrops on our field trip, and I'll feature them in future posts later this week.

Take Away Series
Compostable Cups
Why Eco Island
Eco Island Packaging Products and Their Benefits
At Eco island packaging, we make use of biodegradable materials when designing our products. We understand the effects non-biodegradable products have on the environment and we are doing our part in curbing these environmental hazards. We produce a number of products such as takeaway containers, compostable cups, and wooden cutleries.
Our takeaway containers are very unique as they are made from sugarcane. These takeaway containers are made from the pulp substance known as bagasse which remains after the extraction of the sugar juice from the sugarcane. This set of takeaway containers that we produce are made from unbleached bagasse. These food containers are 100% biodegradable, and they do not contain any toxic materials which therefore makes their decomposition easier. These takeaway containers are easily riveted back into the ecosystem. These takeaway containers which are eco-friendly are also very safe and reliable. Due to the strength of the sugarcane fibre, they are much more durable than the average takeaway containers. We have different types of takeaway containers in our series and they are: hamburger containers, lunch box containers, round plates and compartment containers. Unlike the conventional takeaway containers, our sugarcane takeaway containers are a wonder, and will not change the taste of the food put in it.
Our cups as the name suggests are compostable. We aim to stop the use of styrofoam products as it has several disadvantages to the health. Our compostable cups are very effective, and are made with materials that are completely biodegradable as that is our motto. Our compostable cups have the same abilities that plastic and styrofoam cups have but without the health risks. Our compostable cups have wonderful thermal qualities as the cups are made up of recycled materials which are completely compostable. We also make available hot compostable cups for tea, coffee, and soup drinkers. The hot compostable cups are made from materials which are renewable, sustainable and biodegradable substances. Our compostable cups can be added to the trash as they are easily biodegraded and added back into the ecosystem. We at eco island packaging strongly believe in biodegradable materials and recycling. These cups can be added to compost as the biodegrade in soil in no time.
Our disposable wooden cutlery are a better alternative to the plastic cutleries that are also disposable. Our cutleries are eco-friendly, compostable and 100% biodegradable. Our wooden cutleries are made from sustainable wood and wood products. These cutleries are effective, affordable and eco-friendly. There are no additional materials added when making these cutleries. These cutleries are safe, reliable and durable as opposed to the plastic alternative that poses quite a number of health risks. These cutleries are compostable and can easily be added back into the ecosystem and soil in no time as they can easily be broken down.
Please feel free to leave a message to us if you have any queries or just wanted to say hello. We would love to hear from you anytime.

Описание: In this MARI tutorial, we'll walk through a standard workflow for texturing game assets.
We'll take a step-by-step approach through the process, starting with nothing and ending our project with completed PBR texture maps that're ready to take into Unreal Engine.
We'll start by learning how to setup our project for a multi-material PBR asset. From here, we'll learn how MARI handles a linear workflow using Color Management and how that affects our game assets. Next, we'll learn how to bring in supplementary maps like an ID map and normal map so we can use them as we build our textures. We'll learn how to use an exciting new feature in MARI 3.0 to send a high res mesh over to MODO for ambient occlusion baking.
As we're painting, we'll learn about important topics like selections, projection masking and adjustment layers, to name a few. To wrap things up, we'll learn how to resize and export all of our texture maps for use in Unreal Engine.
By the end of this MARI training, you'll have all of the basics down so you can start painting your own game assets.
В Марий уроке мы рассмотрим стандартную последовательность действий для текстурирования игре активов.


Residents in the town of Schodack are concerned about their water being contaminated. That's because Goulet Trucking, a hazardous waste hauler is planning to put a facility on top of the town's aquifer.
The lot is zoned for highway commercial and local business. When residents bought their properties, they never dreamed a hazardous waste hauler would end up there. The planning board would have to issue a special permit, but neighbors are urging them to take the proper precautions.
Barb Haberland said she didn't even know anyone was interested in buying the cornfield next to her house on Lape Road in Schodack. That is until about six weeks ago, when a surveyor showed up in her backyard with a machete.
"I asked him who was the person interested in buying the property and he said they were not privy to that information," Haberland said.
Haberland's neighbor, Rachel Tiedman, and her husband started asking around. They learned Goulet Trucking is planning to build their new headquarters there. In addition to a 20,000 square foot facility, the company wants to keep 100 trucks on site and install a wash bay.
"When the trucks are washed how is it going to drain?" Haberland said.
"They haul contaminated hazardous material I certainly don't want that around my two young kids," Tiedman said. "I don't want that in my water system. We live in a direct recharge area of the town's aquifer, which is the main source of our water supply for our own well."
Neighbors are also worried about how this facility would affect property values.
"Nobody is going to want to live next to a contaminated waste hauler," Tiedman said. "I certainly don't want to. I can't imagine anybody on the planning board would want to live next to that so it's unfair of them to think that we would want to."
There is a town law protecting the aquifer, but Goulet is asking the planning board for a special permit.
Neighbors want to see a full environmental impact study done before that happens.
"Schodack residents don't need to be the next people that show up on the news with contaminated water," Haberland said. "We need to save our beautiful area that we live in."
The town initially sent out a notice with the wrong public hearing date. That meeting will be held Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. NewsChannel 13 reached out to the planning board and Goulet for comment, neither responded immediately on Friday.

Q: Stop CTRL+C Exiting Local Script Which is Running tcpdump in Remote Machine I have setup a simple script like the below:
sshpass -p $password ssh -T $username@$ip_address -p 30007 <<- EOF > $save_file.pcap
    sh
    tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -w -
EOF

sed -i '1d' $save_file.pcap

The purpose of this script is so that I can run a tcpdump on a remote device, yet save the output into a file on my local machine (the remote device has very limited storage capacity, so this would allow me to obtain much large captures, as well as, of course, allowing me to setup captures on demand much more quickly).
The purpose of the sh and the heredoc is because by default, I am not dropped into the appropriate shell of this remote device. Issuing sh in the remote device gets me to the proper shell to be able to  run my tcpdump, and this heredoc is the only method I've found to accomplish this task and still port the information back into my local file.
The issue that I'm running into is that once the script gets to the tcpdump section of this script, my terminal is given output like the below, and like I would expect to see when running a tcpdump into a file:
drew@drew-Ubuntu-18:~/Desktop$ ./Script.sh
tcpdump: listening on eth5.1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
Got 665

And of course that "Got" counter increases as more packets are captured and piped into my local file. Unfortunately, the only method I have found thus far to stop this and return my terminal is to initiate a CTRL+C.
The issue here is that this doesn't only stop the tcpdump on the remote machine, but it ends the script that is running on my local machine.
This of course means that nothing further in my script is run, and there are many tasks that I need to perform with this data past just the sed that I included here.
I've tried to instead set things up like follows instead:
tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -w - &
read -n 1 -s; kill $!

The thought process here is that my raw tcpdump information would still be posting to stdout, and therefor still be populating in my local capture file. However, it seems like when I tried to run a capture in this manner, with the &, it didn't actually let me post anything else into the terminal (not sure if just too much junk flying at all times or what). I even tried this locally and it seems like trying to run a raw tcpdump posting to stdout doesn't let anything else happen.
Based on this information, the only thing I can think of at this point is if there is some manner in which I can use the CTRL+C in order to close out of the tcpdump on the remote machine, but keep my script still running.  Any suggestions I can try? Or other methods of going about this that would be far more logical?

A: I suggest some improvements for your remote capturing traffic script:

*

*preventing CTRC+C from killing your script:
This can be done using a trap to capture SIGINT. You usually place it at the beginning of your script. See this example:
trap "pkill ssh" INT

Obviously, the filter to get the only the ssh you want can be improved.

*Filtering out the communication with the remote machine from that tcpdump
You telling us your system is not reacting well to the capture, might be a recursive data capture overloading the system. Depending on the interface you are listening to, you might be creating a recursive situation where in each connection you have with the remote machine, the controlling connection data will be added to the capture, which in turn will generate more packets to feed tcpdump.
So your tcpdump might needs to filter out the communication between the local and remote machine. Use something similar to:
/usr/bin/tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -w - "not port 22"

or:
/usr/bin/tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -w - "not my_local_host"

This might alleviate the slowness and instability, so the script will behave better. See also later on, the point about using nc.

*Limiting the number of packets in tcpdump to avoid having to use CTRC+C all the time.
If you only want to capture a small set of traffic, you should limit the number of tcpdump packets captured by tcpdump.
For instance for capturing 100 packets and returning:
tcpdump -c 100 -w -

*Limiting tcpdump in time to avoid using CTRC+C all the time.
If you want to capture 5 minutes (300 seconds) of traffic, use the timeout command on the remote side. As in:
ssh "timeout 300 tcpdump -w -"

*Dropping that shell
You are using the shell because you need $PATH to invoke tcpdump. Invoke the full tcpdump path instead.
As in:
sshpass -p $password ssh -T $username@$ip_address -p 30007 "/usr/bin/tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -w -"

*unbuffering tcpdump
tcpdump output to tcpdump to stdout is buffered. To unbuffer it to get data faster from the remote host, and lose less data when interrupting it, use -l:
/usr/bin/tcpdump -i eth5.1 -s 0 -n -v -U -l -w -

This might or might not be useful on your case, make some tests. It will sure left you more data on your side when you interrupt it with CTRL-C.

*not using SSH for getting the traffic dumps. Use netcat instead.
If you do not have so strict security requirements e.g. a capture inside your own network, and not have firewall(s) blocking ports in the way between the two hosts, drop that SSH for getting tcpdump output back. It is a computationally heavy protocol, and will get in the way if you need to capture more volume of remote traffic. Use nc instead to get the tcpdump data.
As in local machine:
nc -l -p 20000 > capture.dump &

Remote machine:
ssh remote "/usr/bin/tcpdump -w - | nc IP_local_machine 20000" > /dev/null

*Dropping that sshpass
Use ssh keys to authenticate instead of a password.

*Lastly, if doing it more professionally, considering the possibility of using an agent + a professional service.
You can do it using cshark.

Capture traffic and upload it directly to CloudShark for analysis. Use
  the CloudShark service at https://www.cloudshark.org or your own
  CloudShark appliance.

Sound reasons to trust the Scriptures (part 9)
This is the final installment of a nine-part series of articles offering sound reasons to believe the Bible is the Word of God.
In Systematic Theology (Vol. I), Dr. Norman Geisler presents many lines of evidence supporting claims for the Bible as the Word of God. In unique fashion, he labels each line of evidence with a word beginning with the letter "S," making his arguments relatively easy to follow and remember. This article borrows his headings and then incorporates some of Geisler's research with numerous other sources, which are cited.
Reason 9: The testimony of the saved
The Bible's life-changing power is widely known through the testimony of those who have come to know Christ. The apostle Paul, once known as a Christ-hating persecutor, declared, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek" (Rom. 1:16).
The writer of Hebrews declares: "For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints, and marrow; it is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart" (Heb. 4:12).
Peter added, "… you have been born again – not of perishable seed but of imperishable – through the living and enduring word of God" (1 Peter 1:23).
The celebrated British archaeologist Sir William Ramsay, who began his studies as a skeptic, became a Christian after exploring the sites of Paul's journeys firsthand and comparing them with the testimony of Acts ("The Historical Reliability of the New Testament," Craig L. Blomberg, Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics, p. 220).
Testimonies throughout the centuries and in this day speak emphatically and gloriously of the power of God's Word to bring about a conviction of sin and forgiveness of that sin by faith in Jesus Christ.
Geisler concludes, "The Bible is the only known book in the world that both claims to be and proves to be the Word of God…. The testimony of science that demonstrates it, of the scrolls that transmit it, the scribes who wrote it, the supernatural that confirms it, the structure that manifests it, the stones that support it, the Savior who verified it, the Spirit that witnesses to it, and the saved who have been transformed by it. These combined testimonies confirm that the Bible is what it claims to be – the divinely inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God" (Systematic Theology, Vol. I, p. 561).

This article borrows his headings and then incorporates some of Geisler's research with other sources, all of which are cited.
Reason 1: The testimony of science
Much in the Bible demonstrates advanced scientific knowledge – that is, God revealed through human scribes information that only He knew long before scientists discovered these truths. For example:
The exact order of events in the origin of all things. "In a day when the ancient polytheistic myths of origin prevailed, the author of Genesis declared that the universe came into being out of nothing by the act of a theistic God in the exact order that modern science discovered a millennium and a half later," writes Geisler. "The universe came first (Gen. 1:1a), then the earth (1:1b), then the land and sea (1:10). After this came life in the sea (1:21), then land animals (1:24-25), and finally … human beings (1:27). This too supports the view that the author of Genesis had access to some intelligence as to how the Creator made the universe" (p. 545).
Reproduction after each creature's own kind. This scientific fact runs contrary to many ancient and even early modern views. Observation and the fossil record demonstrate that each type of life produces its own kind.
The earth as the raw material of human bodies. Many ancient polytheistic beliefs claim that people cam from the gods; the Koran teaches that human beings were made from a blood clot (Sura 23:14); but the Bible explains that God made Adam from the earth (Gen. 2:7).
Rain water returning to its source (Eccl.. 1:7). Perhaps without even understanding it, the writer recorded the process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation long before scientists figured it out.
The shape of the world as it hangs in space. Job (26:7) and Isaiah (40:22) make remarkable statements contrary to the ancient belief that the earth was flat, or square. Some myths held that the earth rested on the back of Hercules or on pillars, but the Bible states otherwise.
Life is in the blood (Lev. 17:11), a fact declared in scripture more than 3,000 years ago and only fairly recently attested to in science.
The sea's paths and boundaries (Ps. 8:8; Prov. 8:29). The continental shelf that makes this possible is a fairly recent scientific discovery.
The laws of sanitation (Lev. 12-15). Long before there was scientific knowledge of bacteria and germs, God instructed His people through laws of sanitation to protect themselves from diseases spread by unseen organisms.

How do I know the Bible is true? (Part 1)
This is the first in an eight-part series addressing skeptics' claims against the Bible.
Christians believe in the reliability and authority of the scriptures. That is, we trust the Bible to be the inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God and the authoritative source of all we believe and practice. By inerrant, we mean the original autographs are without error because they come from God (2 Peter 1:20-21). By infallible, we mean the Bible is incapable of error because God, as its author, does not lie or make mistakes (Num. 23:19). By inspired, we mean the Bible is "God breathed" (2 Tim. 3:16) And by authoritative, we mean that the Bible, as God's Word, is His written revelation to us and must therefore guide our thoughts, words and deeds (Heb. 4:12).
But many people do not share such a high view of scripture. In fact, some raise serious objections to claims about the Bible's truthfulness and reliability. While there are many objections, eight of the more common objections include:
No one really knows what Bible says because the original manuscripts are lost.
The Bible has been copied so many times, with so many variations, there's no way to know what was originally scripted.
The books of the Bible were chosen arbitrarily by councils of men in highly political processes. As a result, they left out some very good books – perhaps some equally inspired writings.
It's silly to assume that one book – the Bible – contains all of God's truth and that other great writings, from the Vedas to the Book of Mormon, do not come from God.
The Bible is full of contradictions.
The Bible can't be true because it depicts a different God in the Old and New Testaments.
There are so many translations of the Bible today, it's impossible to know which translation is the right one.
There are so many Christian denominations today, it's clear that Christians can't agree on what the Bible teaches.
Responding to these objections is a daunting task – in part because critics raise some valid points. For example, it's true that we do not have the "autographs," or the original documents. At the same time, the Bible soars above other ancient documents in many convincing ways, providing evidence of reliability and consistency that gives Christians good reasons to trust it as the Word of God. Our faith is not, as some critics say, "blind faith," but reasonable faith based on the evidence.
Every Christian should be confident the Bible is true because there are good answers to the skeptics' objections.
Objection 1: No one really knows what Bible says because the original manuscripts are lost.
The second part of this statement is true: The "autographs," or original manuscripts, written on a variety of degradable surfaces from parchment to papyrus, no longer exist. But the remarkable number of copies, dating back in some cases to within a generation of their authorship, makes the first half of this objection false. In fact, we have tremendous confidence in the reliability of the Bible because of its manuscript trail. Craig L. Blomberg writes, "In the original Greek alone, over 5,000 manuscripts and manuscript fragments or portions of the NT have been preserved from the early centuries of Christianity. The oldest of these is a scrap of papyrus containing John 18:31-33, 37-38, dating from A.D. 125-130, no more than forty years after John's Gospel was most probably written" ("The Historical Reliability of the New Testament," Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics, pp. 193-94). Andreas J. Kostenberger adds, "The total tally of more than 6,000 Greek mss., more than 10,000 Latin Vulgate mss., and more than 9,300 early versions results in over 25,000 witnesses to the text of the NT" ("Is the Bible Today What Was Originally Written?" found in www.4truth.net).
So how does the Bible stack up against other ancient manuscripts? According to scholar F.F. Bruce, we have nine or 10 good copies of Caesar's Gallic Wars; 20 copies of Livy's Roman History; two copies of Tacitus's Annals; and eight manuscripts of Thucydides' History. The most documented secular work from antiquity is Homer's Iliad with 643 copies. But the New Testament, with its thousands of Greek manuscripts alone, is the most highly documented book from the ancient world (The New Testament Documents, Are They Reliable?, p. 16).
In short, while it's true we are lacking the "autographs" of scripture, we have every sound reason to be confident that what we read today has been faithfully preserved through thousands of copies, many of them written in close chronological proximity to the time they were originally penned.
Next — Objection 2: The Bible has been copied so many times, with so many variations, there's no way to know what was originally scripted.

Q: Django Image file upload default to random images My use-case wants that if a user does not upload an Image I choose an image randomly from a pool of images created by the administrator.
That pool of images contain the ones uploaded by admin using django-admin.
I tried some ways like renaming the files and uploaded by the admin ; and randomly select from those name. But those name were to be hardcoded.. So its not a scalable idea.
Any suggestions on how it can be done.
I would prefer if not to use a custom app for it.

A: The idea.
import os
import os.path
from random import choice
from shutil import copy_file

...
filename_list = os.listdir( ADMIN_DIR )
filename_to_copy = choice( filename_list )
file_to_copy = os.path.join( ADMIN_DIR, filename_to_copy ) # it contains a file to copy
# 'change_filename' is a function that changes a file name for a result file. You should implement it.
new_file = os.path.join( DEST_DIR, change_filename( filename_to_copy ) )
# then copy this file to a destination dir.
copyfile( file_to_copy, new_file )


These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '…happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.


In the 1860's, the Wileman family were the owners of a large pottery known as the Foley Works located in Staffordshire, England. James B Shelley joined the Wilemans, became the head of the earthenware works and eventually ended up running the china works. In 1881 James then took his son Percy into partnership and after James' death, Percy took over the china works.
Percy employed the best artists and developed a world renowned bone china along with the well known Dainty shape (shown above). But in 1910, there was concern about using the name Foley, as Foley was actually a pottery region. By 1925, Percy had officially renamed his bone china Shelley. In the 1930′s Shelley also became well known for their Art Deco creations. They were even allowed to continue producing china throughout World War 2, unlike many other British potteries.
The Shelley teacup shown above may be found by looking here in my Bella Rosa Antiques store. This one is in the "Dainty" shape (more adored than the others) and it has a scenic pattern called "Heather." Shelley teacups are more desirable because they were crafted of a beautiful, fine translucent bone china.
They say if you are a teacup collector than you should have at least one Shelley in your collection. Come on, who's willing to fess up to their collection? I'd love to hear about yours.
Jillian - you know I love this! If it's still there in November after pay day . . . be in touch!
I have to say that Shelley is one of my favorites also. I love tea and beautiful tea cups. Thanks for the history of Shelley.
Never knew this! I don't have a collection but if I did, I'd want one of these cups. So pretty!
What a beautiful tea cup! You know so much about its' history. Wow!
